Come on home
Events old,new celebrate Homecoming
By Ross Fitch

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It's Hawktoberfest at the University of Kansas in October, but unlike the traditional German Oktoberfest, beer at University events will not be flowing. Hawktoberfest is just the name for this year's homecoming.
Homecoming is Oct. 2 through Oct. 9. The theme for this year will be 'Home Is Where the Hawk Is.' Events and speakers will include Bill Rancic, winner of NBC's "The Apprentice," a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, a spinoff of "American Idol" and a community service day.
The University began its Homecoming tradition on a November evening in 1912, according to the Homecoming Web site, www.homecoming.ku.edu. Students, faculty, staff and alumni huddled around a bonfire, told stories, recalled memories and laid a wooden Tiger atop the fire to symbolize the University beating the University of Missouri in the next day's football game.
In 1956, "Songs for Victory" became a theme for the year's Homecoming. Themes have been incorporated into Homecoming ever since. Recent themes include "Jayhawk Generations: Bringing Back the Classics" in 2003 and "Traditions Anew in 2002: A Hawk
of a Good Time."
Homecoming was primarily a weekend celebration until 2001, when the celebration became weeklong.
This year's Homecoming follows the new tradition.
With more than 15 events and possibly two main speakers, the action at Hawktoberfest should be non-stop.
Sarah Lathrop, Phoenix. Ariz. junior and public relations chair for Homecoming, said that although Bill Cosby had accepted the invitation to perform at Homecoming, the logistics were still being worked out. Basically, Cossey accepted the offer, but a contract

Bryant Freeman has loved dogs for as long as he can remember.
"I was born and raised in a kennel," said Freeman, director of the KU Institute of Haitian Studies. "When I went to my first dog show, I was still in the cradle."
Because of his passion for dogs, he decided it was time to start a club for dog lovers at the University of Kansas. He said he'd considered starting the club before, but now the KU Dog Lovers Club will be a reality.
The club's purpose, Freeman said, would be to bring people on campus who love dogs together. Freeman said
He said he hoped the club would inspire people to be responsible dog owners. The acronym for the KU Dog Lovers will appropriately be KUDL, Freeman said.
Freeman said he envisioned students running the club once it was formed, but he would be happy to be the adviser. Freeman said the student members of the club would decide how often the club would convene, but he guessed the
owning a dog wasn't a prerequisite for membership.

Moore discusses issues, KU days
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
This sit-down interview with U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) is the first in a series designed to give students more information about the 3rd District U.S. House of Representatives race. When Republican challenger Kris Kobach makes a campus visit in late September, Kansan staff writer Andy Hyland will conduct a similar interview.
Q: What is your position on campaign finance reform?
A: I worked actually with Senator McCain on the last major revision of campaign finance laws, and I am a strong supporter of campaign finance reform, and I — frankly, I think these 527 organizations that are doing these political ads on both sides are spending millions of dollars in presidential races and maybe so as well congressional races. I've always said I think there's way too much money in politics, and we need to find a way to cut that out without adversely affecting the right to free speech, obviously.
Q: Do you support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage?
A: When its been amended, it's always been to provide rights to people, not take rights away. My personal belief is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I don't think the Constitution needs to be amended. We have a Federal Defense of Marriage Act, and there's one in Kansas as well. I think what this is, is frankly a cheap political shot.
Q: How does a Democrat win in Kansas?
A: I think 80 percent of people in the center are more concerned about their jobs, education for their children and everything it takes to live in this world besides Democrat and Republican politics. People may be registered Democrat or Independent or Republican, and if they know somebody and they're comfortable with that person, they'll vote for that person across party lines; I do. So my job as a Democrat in this heavily Republican state — I suppose, district — is to get people acquainted with me and what I believe in and tell them that if you agree with me on these things, I need your vote.
Student votes count, Congressman says

Dennis Moore spoke to a group of about 30 students yesterday afternoon at the Multicultural Resource Center. His messages were clear above the whirring of the building's window-unit air conditioners: Students' votes count and government decisions should not be determined by partisanship.
The Douglas County Coordinating Committee asked the center to host Moore's visit two weeks ago, said Santos Nuñez, program director of multicultural affairs. The committee provided the pizza in return.
The visit was a part of what Moore (D-Kansas) called his "college tour." The tour included a stop at Johnson County Community College last night. He will visit Kansas City Kansas Community College later this week.
"It's interesting to hear what college students are concerned about," he said with a piece of pizza in his hand.
"Those people in that room are too intelligent to give up their right to vote," he said. "If you don't vote, you're letting other people make life-altering decisions."
College students commonly think of different political issues than other voters, he said.
He said that people who did not vote were disrespectful to those who died to secure that right for all Americans.
Throughout the lunch, students asked Moore about local and international issues and touched on topics like weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the national debt.

Olympics ratings boost NBC
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — No one was happier to see the Olympics flame flicker out than executives at ABC, CBS and FOX.
The games so thoroughly dominated the network landscape for 17 days that NBC won each and every half-hour in prime time against its broadcast rivals, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday.
An average of 24.6 million people watched the games in each evening. That was a 14 percent increase over the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
viewers showed a few signs of boreom last week, as the final five Olympic telecasts failed to beat that average. Sunday's closing ceremony was seen by 19.6 million people.
The opening of the fall season is in sight. NBC even scheduled the debut of
Thirteen of the most-watched non-Olympics programs last week were on CBS, including the network's own game: The fifth edition of "Amazing Race" has been a summer success.
NBC averaged 22 million viewers in prime-time last week (13.7 rating, 23 share). CBS was a distant second with 7.4 million (5.0, 9) ABC had 4.5 million (1.6, 3), FOX 3.2 million (2.9, 5), UPN 2.5 million (1.8, 3), the WB 2.3 million (1.6, 3) and Pax TV 730,000 (0.5, 1).
"Father of the Pride" for Tuesday.
Buoyed by the Olympics, NBC's "Nightly News" crushed its evening news competition, averaging 10 million viewers (7.1 rating, 15 share). ABC's "World News Tonight" had 7.6 million (5.4,11) and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.9 million (4.9,10).
A ratings point represents 1,084,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 108.4 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

Question of the Day
KU Info exists to answer all your questions about KU and life as a student. Check out KU info's Web site at http://info.ku.eduku.it by at 864-3508 or visit it in person at Anschutz Library.
Tell me about the Credit/No Credit (a.k.a. Pass/Fail) system.
For some classes (depending on your school and major), you can choose to bypass the regular A-F grading system and elect the Credit/No Credit option, often referred to as pass/fail. You sign up for it at your department office about six weeks into the semester. Here's how it works: If you earn an A, B, or C in that class, your grade report will show a simple CR, meaning that you've received credit for that class. The CR does not affect your GPA in any way. However, if you earn a D or F in the class, then you'll get no credit at all, an NC on your grade report.
Only one credit course per semester may be taken in your first two years.

Nine residents of area neighborhoods spoke against a law that prohibits the parking of cars on city streets for more than 48 hours at last night's Lawrence City Commission meeting. The commissioners decided not to vote on the issue until they had more information.
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said the Lawrence Police Department issues about 25 to 30 tickets per month for violations of the 48-hour law. A ticket for this violation costs a car owner $30. The amendment was created because people would move their cars up an inch or two to avoid being parked in the same spot for 48 hours. Corliss said people thought they could avoid the violation by barely moving the car instead of moving the car to a completely different location.
The amendment is modeled off of a law in Wichita that is similar to Lawrence's 48-hour law, but does include a part that states a violation may not be defeated by just simply moving the car a couples inches forward or backward.
Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said the actual 48-hour law was probably discussed more than the amendment, which is the issue. The law,
Jason Boots, Student Senate community affairs director, said students were probably the main violators of the law because they parked their cars on city streets to walk to campus. Students also sometimes choose to take the bus to campus instead of their cars, which they leave parked in front of their houses or apartments. Boots said.
Wildgen said, has been around for awhile. The amendment is what the city and the commission are considering.
David Dunfield, Lawrence city commissioner, asked if police drove around specifically looking for cars parked on the street for more than 48 hours. Corliss said this was not the case and most violators are called in by people living in the neighborhoods.
David Schauer, Lawrence city commissioner, said that when drivers move their cars to avoid a violation, they're going to be moving to a different location but that is still on a city street. Schauer said the amendment might not accomplish anything, because the drivers usually would not have another place to go and might just be risking another violation.
"I think we're learning that this is more complicated than we anticipated." Lawrence Mayor Mike Rundle said.

Smoke forces afternoon evacuation at Watson
Some elevator equipment overheated, which sent smoke into the air and set off the fire alarm, said Capt. Skylar Bailey, KU Public Safety.
Students and faculty were evacuated from Watson Library yesterday afternoon as smoke from an elevator set off the fire alarm.
Bailey said the fire alarm went off at 1:03 p.m. and students and faculty were let back into Watson Library at approximately 2:30 p.m.
For some students, the fire alarm mainly interrupted a
study break. For other students, the alarm also disrupted class.
Eric Broxterman, Overland Park freshman, said he went to Watson for a class tour, but the alarm went off before the tour could get started. He said he didn't smell anything.
On the second floor, some people did smell something. Karen Bleier, library staff member, said she smelled a synthetic smoke smell. She said she also saw smoke coming out from the two center stacks. Bailey said the overheated elevator equipment just elicited smoke, and that no fire actually occurred.

Chris Kaufman, co-director of Homecoming, said the Homecoming Steering Committee was looking to build upon Homecomings of previous years.
Homecoming is still geared toward students, but the Steering Committee hasn't forgotten about the alumni, Kaufman said.
Kaufman said more rules were being integrated into the events to keep them fair and fun to everyone.
"It's really grown into an event the University looks forward to." Kaufman said.
He said the Steering Committee wanted to get as many students involved this year as possible.
Some events that didn't work in the past have been taken out or changed for this year, he said.
One group participating in the 'Can'sstruction event last year used a fog machine to improve the look of their design because no rules were in place.

Party school status alive in hearts of students
Dear Playboy and Princeton Review,
We at the University of Kansas are disheartened with not finding our beloved Mount Oread school on recent lists of top party schools. In fact, 2002 was the last time we recall University of Kansas appearing on the list where we ranked No. 9 with Playboy. Princeton Review has shunned us since the late 90's, when we ranked eight in 1998.
There are a few assumptions that we can ponder for your decision not to include us in this year's list. Since 2002, the Lawrence police have cracked down on underage drinking and people may no longer smoke inside restaurants and bars.
The Lawrence police, according to its media relations department, has recorded 15 noise complaints involving house parties and issued 52 minors in possession from January 2003 to July 2004. Looking at those numbers, either we're partying more or we haven't given up.
No police bust can shove the cork down deeply enough into our wine bottles. We continue to party like rock stars until the sun comes up at sororities, fraternities, house parties and Mass. Street bars. So please tell us why we're not in the running anymore.
Here are a few more events that you might have overlooked:
SACK'S VIEW
David and Scott Hillenbrand, the directors of National
Lampoon's Dorm Daze, decided to kick off their promotional tour last September in Lawrence. And even Topanga from the teen sitcom, Boy Meets World, partied her heart out at one of our downtown bars, Last Call, 729 New Hampshire.
Also, in January of this year, city commissioners complained about the increase of drinking establishments in the downtown area. Clearly bar owners still think Lawrence has an active nightlife.
So make a trip back to Lawrence, Kan., for another whirlwind adventure with the crazy drunks downtown.
The beer doesn't stop flowing on Mass. Street. Do you remember the last time you stumbled your way through Kentucky and Tennessee streets on a weekend night? If you do recall your evening, then you probably didn't party there. There are enough kegs of beer on these streets to fill Hugh Hefner's pools and lather up his bunnies.
If you don't want to place us on any list of top party schools, then just please tell us where we went wrong so that we may adjust ourselves accordingly. But for goodness sake, it was nice to have the University ranked at the top for something!
Sincerely.
Students at the University of Kansas

Grammar police can take break
There's no such thing as proper English.
LANGUAGE RULES!
We know your teachers may demand its use in your papers, and we know that you have been carefully taught to ask if you may go to the bathroom, not if you can.
Perhaps a third grade teacher, a grandma or a friend has policed the grammar you use at some point in your life. We're guilty of it, too. However, there has never been a singular authority over the English language as a whole.
I am very pleased to welcome you to our community. We are looking forward to meeting you and sharing our values and experiences.
English is so complex that it can't be contained in one simple place. Though many grammarians have railed against a so-called degeneration of the language (some believe that slang and the use of changed rules for Internet English are taking the language downhill), their position is dictatorial. It implies that purity or perfection in the English language can be achieved. The number of books published on this subject and he number of different dictionaries can attest to the impossibility of a proper English.
Proper English is a social construct. Some scholars recognize that the results of these varying influences have become not one singular "English," but instead the plural: "Englishes."
Even people who cannot claim to know a second language know multiple versions of their own. You probably make different linguistic choices when
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART
ovinion@kansan.com
you are talking with a professor than you do with a classmate.
The English language has changed dramatically over the past 1600 years. As English widened in scope, it still varied significantly by geographic areas.
The innovation of the printing press and other technological advances called for more consistency in the language, hence, standard English, the kind that professors implore their students to use on formal papers. It's the kind that "grammar police" are seeking.
The problem, as mentioned earlier, is that there is not a unanimously standard English. This argument is not to say that rules and grammar are not important. Following grammar, using correct spelling, punctuation and other standardized practices is necessary to communicate effectively with an audience, whether it's a professor, a friend or your boss.
We must strive to write the standard English of the academic and professional worlds in hopes that it will be
understood across a wide variety of audiences. Writing standard English and following basic rules of grammar are to a student's advantage in terms of clarity and understanding.
Grammar has different definitions. Grammar can be a set of rules that language users consciously try to follow. The word can also refer to the way people organize their language without even realizing it. When someone says, "I am going to class," something in their brain has arranged those words in a way that others understand (an audience would not understand as easily if the statement was, "going class I am to").
Should English users subscribe to proper English? Must they do so all the time? Or do speakers know enough grammar from everyday life to communicate clearly, rendering standard English unnecessary?
Standard English is necessary, but not all the time. It is necessary in academic and professional writing because it conveys one's education, credibility and ability to communicate with diverse audiences. But it is probably OK to break a few grammar rules in an informal conversation, especially if you are familiar with your audience. It's your language.

Respect handicap parking need
People complain incessantly about the "impossible" parking situation here at the University of Kansas.
Perfectly healthy, nondisabled University students and faculty do not have a God-given right to park in hand-capped spaces just because everything else is full, they're late to a class or they don't want to walk more than 200 feet.
We need more parking spaces. But that's not the problem.
People with physical limitations need those spaces. You can walk, bike and run to class.
NOT UNHEARD OF
TARA SCHUPNER
opinion@kansan.com
Being able to park in a handicap space "can be the difference between whether people with disabilities are able to attend their class or not," said Donna Hutline, director of the Parking Department.
During the 2004 spring semester, from January 23 to May 1, the Parking Department issued 146 citations — an average of 1.5 each day. They didn't catch everyone who parked illegally.
---
That means at least twice a day, someone with a genuine disability was denied an accessible parking space.
And don't park in loading and unloading zones. Those stripes on the pavement are not there for decoration. If you park there, how will people with disabilities get out of their cars?
But what's even more revolting is "borrowing" placards or modifying the
expiration date to park in handicapped spaces.
Recently, a student was caught using his grandfather's permit to park on campus.
Hultine has a collection of more than 20 confiscated placards in her office. It's astounding the lengths people will go to pass themselves off as disabled. Computer print-outs, numerical stickers, even markers were used.
WE B
The state of Kansas issues placards for disabilities including visual impairments, stopping to rest after less than 100 feet, lung disease, severe cardiac conditions and debilitating arthritic, orthopedic or neurological conditions.
But don't always jump to conclusions if you believe someone is parked illegally. Not all disabilities are visible.
The Parking Department cannot always catch violators. If you see potential abuse, call the parking department and report it.
So be understanding and don't body-slam someone who is not using a wheel-chair or crutches. You could knock some pretty valuable wind out of them.
On campus, the current fee for parking illegally in handicap stalls, in loading and unloading zones or in front of a ramp is $100. That's not enough.
"State law says it can be up to $500," said Hultine. "Illegally parked cars should be towed. Ticketing doesn't help the person who needs the stall, towing creates a space for them quickly."
A $500 fee and towing illegally parked cars is all very well, but one more consequence would round out the lesson to perfection.
People who park illegally or who falsify handicap placards should be dragged to McCollum, plunked in a wheelchair, and made to venture their way to the Kansas Union by way of 15th Street and Sunnyside Avenue.
Next time you drive by a vacant handicap stall and contemplate parking there, think twice. There are 13,587 spaces to park in on campus, but only 320 handicap stalls. Leave them for the people who really need them.
And being late to class does not mean you need them.

Bush hailed for strength
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Republican National Convention co-stars Laura Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger commended President Bush Tuesday night for four more years, hailing him as a man of strength and compassion.
"He's a man of perseverance. He's a man of inner strength. He is a leader who doesn't flinch, doesn't waver, does not back down," the Austrian-born California governor added in remarks that blended high praise for the president with assurances to immigrants that the party welcomes them.
"You can count on him, especially in a crisis," said the first lady.
"We Republicans admire your ambition. We encourage your dreams. We believe in your future," said the governor,

Schwarzenegger and the first lady were taking their turns at the Madison Square Garden podium as 2,508 delegates formally bestowed their nomination on the president for a second term in office.
"Four more years," they chanted in unison. The sound system blared the song "Knock on Wood."
Republican convention planners scripted an evening that reintroduced the theme of compassionate conservatism that Bush ran on successfully four years ago.
A parade of speakers walked onto a podium that bore the words "People of Compassion" as a backdrop.
one of a series of speakers on an evening scripted to show the softer side of a party known for its conservatism.
They praised the president's efforts to battle AIDS, combat
breast cancer, promote adoption and enact far-reaching educational reforms.
"I am proof that the blessings of liberty are within reach of every American," said Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, an African-American.
For the first lady, that meant what aides called a glimpse at the personal side of the commander in chief; for the governor, an attempt to appeal to new and unregistered voters who are not part of the president's conservative base.
"No American president wants to go to war," said Mrs. Bush, neither Lincoln nor Roosevelt nor her own husband.
Both the first lady and Schwarzenegger hailed Bush's leadership in terms that bordered on extravagant in speeches that did double political duty.

Freeman said though he didn't have a vendetta against cats, the club's focus would be dog.
the Club's local would see the Club's locals "not relate to cats," Freeman said. "I've just never had one. This is for dogs."
Freeman said the club's main purpose would be networking opportunities.
"A dog is like a baby," Freeman said. "It depends on you completely."
He said the club would introduce dog owners to each other and be a place where dog owners could compare notes on proper care.
Jane Tusten, a friend of Freeman for 25 years, said she would probably speak to the club about general training, such as housebreaking, digging and barking.
"I'm hopeful that students that
care about their pets want to learn more," said Tusten, president of the Lawrence-Jayhawk Kennel Club. "And they want to meet other people who have a similar turn of mind. It's like people who like to bowl."
Freeman is attached to his own dogs, especially his Clumber Spaniel, Mort.
"He dotes on me; I dote on him," he said. Freeman said he had owned 35 Clumber Spaniels in his lifetime, along with many other dogs. Clumber spaniels are hunting and retrieving dogs that weigh about 70 pounds and have mostly white coats.
She said she told her nephew that it wasn't a responsible choice.
Tusten said she supported Freeman's idea for the club immediately when she first heard about it in February at a Lawrence-Jayhawk Kennel Club meeting.
tusten said that although taking care of a dog could be difficult for students because of classes, work and outside activities, she would never say that students shouldn't ever own dogs.
She said students didn't always completely think through what it takes to care for a dog.Her nephew, who is a KU

Medic testifies about abuse
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A Navy medic who served at a Marine detention facility in Iraq testified Tuesday during a court-martial that he witnessed guards beating newly arrived inmates to intimidate them.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Petty Officer Carlton Blay said he saw defendant Sgt. Gary Pittman and other Marine reservists punch and slap
between 10 and 15 detainees, but not an Iraqi inmate whose death is the focus of the trial. The detainees did not resist the blows, which were strong enough to cause some to groan or stagger, Blay said.
Force was used to "create a sense of dominance" and let the detainees know who was in charge at the makeshift Marine lockup, he said.
Blay's testimony came in the
second week of the trial of camp guard Pittman, a federal prison guard in New York in his civilian life. His court-martial is believed to be the first stemming from the death of a prisoner in Iraq.
Last week, another Marine guard testified that he saw Blay hit Nagem Hatab, the 52-year-old inmate who was found dead at the camp in June 2003. Blay, however, denied hitting the man or seeing other guards do so.

MOORE: Challenges facing Kansas, nation
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Q. When you think about the state of the nation in 10 years, what do you worry about?
A: I tell people I think President Bush did it exactly right after Sept. 11: he called world leaders and said, 'This is not just an attack on America, it's an attack on freedom, and you should be with us to fight terrorism.' And I think that was exactly right. We had, after Sept. 11, more goodwill coming towards our country than ever before than I can ever remember, ever. In the past year and a half, that goodwill is basically gone. Had the president followed that protocol and assembled a coalition of nations, we
Q: And what about Kansas?
wouldn't be in the situation we're in right now in the eyes of the rest of the world.
A: One of the challenges is education. I think people in Kansas and especially this area — and I don't mean to place any special value on this area of the state — but people in Northeast Kansas really seem to place great value on education.
Two years ago, No Child Left Behind comes along, and it's got some great objectives. I don't know one single teacher who wants to leave any child behind, and yet Congress said that if you take on this additional responsibility, we will provide additional resources to do what we're asking you to do. The state and locals did, and this year Congress is $9 billion short of funding No Child Left Behind. If you make a promise, I think you ought to keep it, and I think that we have broken that promise.
Q: What is your favorite memory of the University of Kansas?
A: I was only here for two years. I was a counselor of the dorm at JRP. I used to play guitar and sing; I still do. I used to perform at a place called the Fiery Furnace, right across from the Kansas Union. I love music. For me, music is a great way to communicate with people.

Suicide bombings in Isreal kill 16; bus bombings first since March 14
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEERSHEBA, Israel Palestinian suicide bombers blew up two buses in this Israeli desert city Tuesday, killing 16 passengers and wounding more than 80 in an attack that ended a six-month lull in violence.
The buses exploded into flames just seconds apart and about 100 yards away from each other in the center of Beersheba — the deadliest suicide strike in nearly a year.
Israel had attributed the lull to its separation barrier, arrest sweeps and widespread network of informers.
The Hamas militant group claimed responsibility, issuing a leaflet in Hebron — the closest Palestinian city to Beersheba — saying it was avenging Israel's assassinations of two of its leaders earlier this year.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met with his security advisers to plan a response, expected to include a military operation in Hebron. Just hours before the attack, Sharon presented his hardline Likud Party with the most detailed timetable yet for Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
"This (the attack) has no connection to disengagement," he said, referring to his program to separate Israel from the Palestinians.
Despite the bombings, Sharon promised to push forward with the Gaza pullout, while insisting Israel would keep fighting terrorism "with all its might."
In Washington, Secretary of State Colin Powell condemned the bombings and offered condolences to Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, and State Department Spokesman Richard Boucher said Hamas must be put out of business.
Israeli officials said the bombings proved the need for the barrier under construction between Israel and the West Bank. The section between Hebron and Beersheba has not been built.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said President Bush had been briefed. "There's
"We should go ahead speedily now and finish construction of this fence," government spokesman Avi Pazner told The Associated Press.
The barrier, which Israel says is necessary to keep out suicide bombers, has been widely condemned internationally because of the hardships it imposes on Palestinians.
Palestinian analyst Hani al-Masri agreed with the Israeli assessment of the lull in suicide attacks. He told AP that it resulted from Israel's assassination of Hamas leaders and the difficulties of infiltrating posed by the barrier.
It had been nearly six months since Israelis last experienced the scene of charred buses, mangled bodies and screaming sirens that played out in Beersheba on Tuesday. The last suicide bombing in Israel took place on March 14, when 11 people were killed at the port of Ashdod.
"But now, the military operations (attacks) are a way for Hamas to increase its popularity among Palestinians," he said, noting that until Tuesday, the Islamic group had not carried out its promise to avenge Israel's killing of its founder and his successor.
Tuesday's attack was the deadliest since a female suicide bomber killed 21 people nearly a year ago in the northern city of Haifa — an attack that prompted Israel to assassinate Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of Hamas, and his successor, Abdel Aziz Rantisi.
Israel's rescue service said 30 of the wounded in Tuesday's attack were in serious condition. Police said the death toll of 16 did not include the bombers.
"The Palestinian interest requires a stop to harms all civilians so as not give Israel pretext to continue its aggression against our people," Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said in a statement.
The two buses lay smoldering in the street, their windows blown out, roofs buckled outward, interiors gutted by flames. Forensic workers picked up body parts, including a woman's hand with a silver ring still attached.
In Washington, the State Department brushed aside Arafat's comments and said Hamas must be put out of business. Department spokesman Richard Boucher said action, not words, was needed.
One of the bus drivers, Yaakov Cohen, opened his doors and ordered passengers off after hearing the first blast, apparently saving a number of lives.
In Gaza, thousands of Hamas supports took to the streets to celebrate, with Rantisi's widow, Rasha, calling the attack an "heroic operation" and saying her husband's soul is "happy in heaven."
In Hebron, the Israeli army surrounded the homes of the two suspected bombers, Ahmed Qawasmeh and Nasim Jaabari, and questioned their relatives.
"I don't know why I thought to open the doors," Cohen told reporters, still dazed, "but at least some of the people were able to escape."
Palestinian officials condemned the attack, however, and called for an immediate cease-fire and resumption of peace talks.
Powell condemned the bombings in a telephone call to Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom.
In a development clearly related to the bombings, Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman canceled a visit to the West Bank, set for Wednesday. Suleiman has been leading a yearlong Egyptian effort to negotiate an end to Palestinian attacks.
secretary of State Colin
"What we have learned in the past six months ... is that in the place where there is a fence there is no terror, and where there is no fence there is terror," said Public Security Minister Tzachi Hanegbi.
Several Israeli officials have privately complained that the barrier project has been unnecessarily politicized, saying Israel should have built it closer to the country's pre-1967 frontier. That, they say, would have saved lives by heading off legal challenges that have repeatedly delayed construction of the 425-mile structure.
But Israeli officials Tuesday repeatedly cited the barrier, which the world court at The Hague, Netherlands, recently ruled to be illegal, as the No. 1 reason for the lull in violence.
The past year has seen a sharp reduction in the number of bombings in Israel — from 18 in 2003 that killed 167 civilians to four this year that killed 42, including Tuesday's toll.
Israel has arrested or killed dozens of militants in recent months, maintains dozens of roadblocks in the West Bank and placed security guards near busy bus stops in Israeli cities. It also operates an efficient intelligence network in the Palestinian areas.
Israel has attributed the slowdown to its success in fighting militants and the West Bank barrier, not to a lack of effort by armed Palestinian groups.

Tulsa much improved

When the Tulsa Golden Hurricane enters Memorial Stadium this Saturday, it will bring last year's most improved team in the country.
Tulaa went 8-5 last season under first year coach Steve Kragthorpe, only a year after going t-11 in 2002. This year, Kragthorpe is back and so is the team's
strongest offensive weapon, senior quarterback James Kilian, who should bring a strong test for the Kansas defense.
Kilian passed for 2,217 yards last year with 22 touchdowns to go along with his 605 rushing yards and six touchdowns.
He returns for his senior season, and is already the subject of national attention, having received a couple preseason accolades. He was recently named as one of the 22 college quarterbacks

on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list. Only seniors are named to this list, and the lone quarterback from the Big 12 on the list is Oklahoma's Jason White.
earlier in the summer, Killian was no named to the Davey O'Brienational Quarterback Award Watch which considers all quarterbacks.
"He's poised; he looks like a great leader for them," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino. "He will throw a bunch
To go along with his passing ability, Kilian also has the ability to scramble out of the pocket and rush for big gains

Serve up the fall fun at Horesji
As the autumn sports lineup reveals itself to us once again, sports fans are gearing up for another season of volleyball?
Although the more common fall tradition is played between the hash marks in Memorial Stadium, another team will surely be turning heads not too far away in Horeisi Family Athletic Center.
The Jayhawk volleyball players may not be getting the same preseason hype as the football guys, but not because they don't deserve it. The volleyball team has also experienced its share of improvements, which will carry over into the upcoming season.
RELATED NEWS
Expect the fans to take notice this year, packing Horesei to the rafters as they try to get in on the action, just as they did on certain occasions last season. If the fun-loving promotions — such as Jayhawk-rally-towel night on Sept. 10 or free-tee-shirt night on Sept. 25 — fail to bring the 'Hawk fans out in droves, remembering last year's record-breaking season ought to get them sufficiently pumped.
Fans are already getting excited. The Athletics Department announced that all home-match tickets would be sold by reservation seating only. The team filled the seats so fast last year, general admission in Horejsi Family Athletic Center had to be eliminated to accommodate the huge fan support. The team enjoyed homecourt sellouts against Nebraska, Kansas State and Iowa State last season.
In 2003, Kansas volleyball enjoyed the best season in its 28-year history with a 22-11 record. The team also appeared in its first ever NCAA tournament - as climactic a finish as any bowl game.
Adding to the eye-catching news and urging you to share your fall football focus with this deserving sport is the acquisition of the Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year, outside hitter Paula Caten.
Success beckons again this season as the Jayhawks return four seniors; setter Ashley Bechard, libero Jill Dorsey, middle blocker Ashley Michaels, and outside hitter Lindsey Morris. Also in the lineup are the Jayhawks' first ever All-Big 12 preseason picks, first-team middle blocker Josi Lima and freshman of the year Emily Brown.
Caten transferred to the team as a junior from volleyball-powerhouse Barton County Community College. That name should ring a bell for Kansas volleyball buffs out there, as coach Ray Beard coached there for

Kansas runner Bensan Chesang, Ravine, Kenya, sophomore, is the fastest runner on the men's cross country team. Last year, he was the team's lone qualifier for the NCAA Championships.
Going the distance
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Chesang, a sophomore, finished first on the team in every meet last season and was the Jayhawks' lone representative at the NCAA cross country championships. He came to the University of Kansas in January 2003 from his hometown of Eldama Ravine, Kenya.
Some cross country greats are fronttrunners. They take the lead at the start of the race and never let go. Benson Chesang is just the opposite.
Chesang, Kansas' fastest cross country runner, is what might be called a natural "backrunner." He said he likes to stay behind the lead pack for more than half the race. Then he makes what he calls his "serious move," in which he catches as many runners as possible in a charge to the finish.
"I've always been doing that," Chesang said. "I just sit back and wait. I know that after a certain number of miles people will drop off."
Growing up as the youngest of 10 children in Eldama Ravine, home to 12,000 people, his life was very different than it is now. He was not a runner, no more than anyone else in his small
town. He did run three miles to and from school three times a day. But so did everyone else.
In 2001, his brother Matthew left for a faraway place called Kansas to get an education at Kansas State University. To pay for it, he got a running scholarship. Benson said he was intrigued by the idea of an American education. He wanted to study science, so he decided to follow his brother to Kansas.
Chesang applied to K-State, but a paperwork glitch delayed his acceptance. But a school a few miles east accepted him: the University of Kansas. Because he had entered only one official race in his life before coming to the United States, he was mostly unknown to American coaches. Chesang said the University took a chance on him based largely on his brother Matthew's accomplishments.
When Chesang got to Lawrence in January 2003, he said he found it easy to adjust to the American lifestyle. He could still do many of the things he enjoyed back home, like listening to music and watching movies. He also picked up a hobby that was unavailable to him in Eldama Ravine: surfing the World Wide Web.
"I love messing around on the
Internet," he said. "I always spend my time there."
But he still had to get used to some differences,he said,like how much Kansans drive.
"Here, people use cars when going anywhere," he said. "In my country, sometimes we have to walk 10 or 15 miles to get somewhere."
He also noticed cultural differences. He said he was surprised the first time he saw a woman smoking, an activity reserved only for men in Kenya. But the thing he learned first, as soon as he stepped off the plane in Kansas City, was how cold Kansas gets in January. Eldama Ravine rarely gets down to 50 degrees, even in the coldest months.
"When I came here, it was really cold and snowing all over the place," he said. "That's one thing that I just thought was weird; I was not used to snow."
Although Chesang said he did not feel comfortable running in cold meets at the beginning of his first outdoor-track season, he excelled anyway. When spring came, he won the 10,000-meters at the Big 12 championship

New addition finds Kansas a better fit
BY JESSE NEWELL

KANSAN SPORTWRIST
Editor's Note: Bill Self's first recruiting class at Kansas has been highly touted. Kansan sportswriter Jesse Newell will profile this year's freshmen as they prepare for their first game as Jayhawks on Sept. 4 in Vancouver Canada.
Alex Galinio will be the first to tell you he's made mistakes.
The 6-foot-7 freshman forward from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico just wanted the opportunity to play basketball in the United States. When Sergio Rouco, assistant coach at the University of Texas at El Paso, helped him accomplish that goal, Galindo said he felt indebted to him. After two years of playing high school basketball in Newark, N.J., Galindo made headlines by signing with the Miners.
"I thought, 'I have to be loyal and go there,'" Galindo said. "'I have to, because it means a lot to me, coming here and being able to play in the United States.'"
It was then Galindo said some things he now regrets.
"I think everybody felt I could have gone to a high-major school, but that's not the way I am," Galindo told the El Paso Times upon signing with UTEP. "I chose UTEP because that's where I'm going to live the next four years of my life, and you've got to feel comfortable. I can't even describe the feeling I got there. I felt like I was at home."
But Galindo said his home at UTEP was not where his heart was.
"Being honest, I really didn't feel like that," Galindo said. "I really wanted to go there because the guy that put me here was there."
The situation became awkward when coach Billy Gillespie and Ruco both abandoned UTEP in the off-season, leaving Galindo to decide whether he would choose another school or stay at a place that didn't feel right. In the end, Galindo picked Kansas.
Galindo said he had developed a good rel.tionship with coach Bill Self, which included a running joke about Self's favorite Puerto Rican player.
"I'm the only Puerto Rican that he ever coached." Galindo said with

Guiel caps late rally as Royals beat Tigers, 9-8
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Aaron Guiel was the only starter on either team without a hit. That didn't stop him from winning the game.
R
Royals
Guiel capped a three-run Royal rally in the ninth Tuesday night with a sacrifice fly, driving in the winning run in Kansas City's 9-8 victory over Detroit.
The win snapped a five-game losing skid for the Royals, who rallied from deficits of 5-0 and 7-4.
Guiel's 0-for-5 performance while his teammates collected 17 singles didn't bother him in the least.
"There's going to be
"There's going to be lots of nights I don't get a hit," Guilie said. "Wins are kind of hard to come by for us this year."
With the Royals trailing by two in the ninth, Abraham Nunez led off with his fourth single of the game.
Ugueth Urbina (4-6) walked Calvin Pickering and gave up a bunt single to John Buck to load the bases.
Ruben Gotay followed with an RBI single and Alexis Gomez grounded into a runscoring fielder's choice to tie it at 8
"We let this
one slip away. We had leads and we weren't able to hold them."

Alan Trammel
Detroit manager
Gomez hustled to first and barely avoided the double play.
"We needed a break and we got it," said Jeremy Affeldt (3-1), who allowed a run on two hits in the ninth and got the win. "Gomez hustling that ball out to first base was his so key."
Guiel then lifted Urbina's first pitch to center and Buck slid home with the winning run.
"We let this one slip away," said Detroit manager Alan Trammell. "We had leads and we weren't able to hold them."
The Royals' 17 singles without an extra-base hit tied a team record.
"We probably shot ourselves in the foot," Trammell said. "When you give up that many hits and that many runs, you can't expect to win too many games."
Dimitri Young homered and drove in three runs, and Ivan Rodriguez went 4-for-4 for the Tigers, who have lost five of their last $x.
Young hit an RBI single in the first inning and Craig Monroe also had a run-scoring single to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead.
Marcus Thames doubled leading off the second and scored on Nook Logan's single. Carlos Guillen had an RBI single and Rodriguez's RBI double made it 5-0.

Tennis champ avoids defeat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Maria Sharapova nearly found out just how quickly one can go from diva to disaster.
No reigning Wimbledon women's champion ever lost in the first round of the U.S. Open, and Sharapova was just one game from that fate. Then she steeled herself to claim 12 of the last 14 points and got past Laura Granville 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 Tuesday night.
"My game went off for a while. I went to La-La Land," the 17-year-old
Siberian-turned-Floridian said, "but I came back to Earth."
She wasn't the only top player pushed to the limit on Day 2 at Flushing Meadows: 2000 Open winner Marat Safin and 11th-seeded Rainer Schuetterl lost, while 2003 runner-up Juan Carlos Ferrero and No. 5 Tim Henman both needed five sets to advance.
Safin, Schuettert and Ferrero all were put in the same quarter of the draw as 2003 champion Andy Roddick, who followed Harapova on court.
One indication of how players slide from star to afterthought: While Sharapova was on the National Tennis Center's main stage, 2000-01 Open champ Venus Williams was in the last day-session match on another court.
Made to wait until after 8:30 p.m. to play, because she was scheduled for after Henman and Ferrero, Williams was broken while serving for the match but eventually pulled out a 6-3, 7-6 (3) win over 64th-ranked Petra Mandula of Hungary.
Broncos cut players to meet limit
- THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER - The Denver Broncos waived 11 players and placed four on reserve lists Tuesday to reduce their roster to the 65-man maximum.
injured reserve list.
Cornerback Jimmy Spencer, who last year was the NFL's first player-coach since 1970-71, was placed on the retired reserve list.
He will remain with the team as assistant defensive backs coach.
Running back Mike Anderson, cornerback Jermaine Chatman and wide receiver B.J. Johnson were put on the
Anderson will miss the entire season after tearing both muscles in the left groin area late in Friday night's 31-17 exhibition victory over the Houston Texans.
Chatman, in his first year out of Arizona, broke his left hand in the Houston game.
Johnson, a rookie wide receiver out of Texas, has been out since injuring his left ankle on Aug. 5 in training camp.
Spencer, a 12-year veteran, played four seasons in Denver. Before Spencer, the last player-coach in the NFL was
Dan Reeves with the Dallas Cowboys.
Coach Mike Shanahan said the cuts were difficult.
"People put their hearts and souls into making the team, and all of a sudden you have to deliver the bad news. That's always tough," he said.
Waived by the Broncos were defensive end Luis Almanzar, running back Santonio Beard, wide receiver Atnaf Harris, safety Ron Israel, linebacker Riall Johnson, defensive tackle Brandon Kennedy, guard Tyler Lenda, quarterback Mike Quinn, tight end O.J. Santiago, tackle Jamain Stephens and cornerback Scott Turner.
Chiefs cut roster down to 76
KANSAS CITY, Mo . Guard Donald Willis was placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list Tuesday by the Kansas City Chiefs while rookie quarterback Casey Clausen was waived.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Also waived were wide receiver Zach Fletcher, wide receivers Herb Haygood, Dave Kelmic and Jeris McIntyre and running back Jonathan Smith.
Every NFL team has to get to a 53-man roster by Sunday. On Sept.6, they can create an eight-man practice squad.
Altogether, the Chiefs made seven transactions to reduce their roster to 76 players.
The 6-3, 325-pound Willis has
appeared in 63 games, including six starts, in his seven-year NFL career. He was with Kansas City from 2000- 2003.
Clausen was a four-year starter at Tennessee who started 44 games for Volunteers and completed 775 of 1270 passes for 9,707 yards and 75 touchdowns, second in the school's career list only to Peyton Manning.

For Brown, Big 12 buzz adds pressure but not stress
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWATER
Emily Brown is nervous.
She's nervous about playing her first college volleyball game tonight, maintaining her academic standards amid regular travel and living up to her Big 12 title: preseason Freshman of the Year.
"It helps me get ready," she said. "If I'm not nervous, I'm not serious enough about it."
More than anything, she's nervous about her team fulfilling its potential this year.
"We have a chance to do a lot of things," she said of the Jayhawks. "We have a lot of returners and we had some success last year. This team gets better every year."
In her hometown of Baldwin City, about 15 miles south of Lawrence, Brown dominated class 4A, earning all-league honors three times. As a senior, she earned all-state and all-American Fab 50 honors and
Gatorade named her Kansas Player of the Year.
Brown's mother, Jill, coached her in high school. She follows the legacy of her mother and aunt, Jo Huntsinger, who both played for the University in the late '70s.
With her family's influence and Baldwin City's proximity to campus, Kansas was a natural choice for the youngest Brown. But coach Ray Bechard faced some heavy competition to get her on the team.
She strongly considered offers from Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska, the top team in the conference preseason poll.
But after practicing with the team for three weeks, she said she couldn't imagine playing anywhere else.
"I know I wouldn't be this ready if it wasn't for this group of teammates." she said.
She said she had especially bonded with middle blocker Josi Lima, a junior.
"Even when I was visiting here in high school, Josi always
talked to me and was very nice,' Brown said.
That chemistry was evident during Saturday's exhibition match against former Jayhawks. Brown and Lima dominated the net in game one, en route to a 30-7 romp. Each player had four kills in the set.
Though Brown was the only freshman to start the match on the floor, she begins the season tonight with no personal goals.
"You just want to help the team any way you can," she said.
But as Freshman of the Year, the pressure is a little greater than before.
"It's a great honor that people who haven't even seen my play in a college setting would have so much faith in me," she said. "Yeah, there's some added pressure, but I can't think about that."
Although she doesn't let gameday stress get to her, Brown said it had always been a factor in her sports career.
"I'm always nervous," she
said. "We could be playing the worst team on my high school schedule and I'd still be anxious before the match."
In addition to volleyball, Brown played basketball in high school, using her 6-foot-2 frame to her advantage. But she also found time to excel in the classroom. She made the national Dean's list and received the Knights of Columbus Leadership Award.
She said she hoped to continue this academic success in college and that it would be a new challenge when combined with the team's travel schedule.
Bechard said Brown had lived up to expectations in practices and that he was excited to see her in action tonight when his team opened the regular season at Arkansas.
"Arkansas plays a very fast game," he said. "It's going to be different than anything our new players have seen."

CHESANG: Kenvan runner plans to return to National Championships, this time with teammates
CONTINUED FROM 1A
qualified for the NCAA cross country championships, where he placed 48th out of 254 runners. He also led the cross country team to fourth place at the Big 12 championship, its highest conference finish since 1994. After placing 15th in the 5,000-meter at his first NCAA track and field championship last June, Chesang said he wants to
make a trip back this year. But this time he hopes to bring the team along.
"We're competing against lots of schools," he said. "Like I always tell people, you never know what they've got cooking. But we'll probably make it to the NCAAs. We have a good team."
As the team concocts a strategy to qualify for the championship. Chesang has plans to cook Kenyan food for

you're in good form you don't feel pain." Benson Chesang KU Cross Country Runner
his teammates as he did last year. His favorite dishes are chapati, which he likened to
tacos, and ugali, which he described as corn flour pounded like mashed potatoes.
"Kenyan food is really good and really strong," he said. "I cooked for guys on the team a lot last year. I'm not a perfect cook, I just like to do it."
Chesang also plans to experiment with his racing style in early season meets. He said he would try different things in small early season races, like starting near the
front of the pack.
In practice, Chesang said he would take it easy most of the time, like he always had.
"I don't really train hard," he said. "I just train smart and easy."
On workout days, however, he said he pushed himself and his teammates.
"In workouts, I run really hard, fast, seriously," he said. "I try to get guys to run with me. Some of them respond,
some can't. I try to push the other guys."
Chesang can't explain how he is able to turn on speed when others simply can't.
"Running is funny," he said. "When you're in good form you don't feel pain. After a certain point, you do feel pain. You just have to go through it because everyone else feels it too."

Questioning whittles Bryant jury pool below 300
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAGLE, Colo. - Attorneys in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case resumed closed-door questioning of prospective jurors Tuesday, seeking out their attitudes about race, experiences with sexual assault and any effect pretrial publicity has had on them.
The first round of questioning on Monday took nearly 10 hours.
District Judge Terry Ruckriegle rejected a media request for access Monday, saying he wanted candidates to feel they could answer questions about potentially embarrassing topics without scrutiny by the press.
by the press.
Ruckleggle said Bryant's right to a fair trial and the potential jurors' right to privacy outweigh "qualified" First Amendment rights of access.
Bryant, 26, has pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault, saying he had consensual sex with a then-19-year-old employee at a Vail-area resort where he stayed last summer. If convicted, the Los Angeles Lakers star faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, and a fine of up to $750,000.
Before the questioning began, potential jurors filled out an 82-
item questionnaire asking them their feelings about interracial relationships, whether they have had "any negative experience with an African American" and whether they are biased against mental health professionals, among other things.
Trial consultant Howard Varinsky of Varinsky Associates said he believed the defense was particularly concerned with people's feelings on whether a
defendant must prove he is innocent or whether he should be required to testify.
required to seize. Prosecutors, he said, would be wary of people who have had negative experiences with law enforcement or the court system.
"Both sides are looking for who to kick," he said.
In all, the jury pool includes 276 Eagle County residents 205 of whom filled out questionnaires Friday and were called
back for more questioning this week after attorneys reviewed the answers over the weekend. The other potential jurors filled out questionnaires Monday.
Jury selection will be private until at least Wednesday, when reporters will be able to watch and listen through closed-circuit television. By then, the jury pool will likely have been whittled considerably. Opening statements are expected Sept. 7.

KILIAN: Kansas defense preparing for Saturday
junior linebacker Kevin Kane.
"He likes to run around if he can.
We just have to have someone aware at all times whether or not he's going to run."
The dynamic Kilian may cause havoc on Saturday for a Kansas defense that struggled at times last season.
However, Kragthorpe said he was impressed with the 'Hawks' defense, citing last season's victory over Missouri and the limited production of Tigers' quarterback Brad Smith as evidence that the defensive unit can shut down a mobile quarterback like Kilian.
"I am sure there are a lot of things they will do to try and limit the production of James Killian." Kragthorpe said. "I think what bodes well for us this year is the way that we compliment the things we do with James."
In addition to its experience with Brad Smith, the Jayhawks have played against other mobile quarterbacks like former Kansas State quarterback Ell
"Does it mean we can defend this
young guy the way we defended Brad Smith or Ell Roberson? No, but our kids understand on defense, if you let the quarterback create big plays it is going to be a long night. We have to get after him and we have to force them out of their rhythm."

Roberson. Mangino said playing against Roberson and Smith could help the defense in preparing for Kilian.
and having played against athletic quarterbacks certainly will help us.
"Experience is everything." Mangino said. "Nothing takes the place of game experience,
"Does it mean we can defend this young guy the way we defended Brad Smith or Ell Roberson? No, but our kids understand on defense, if you let the quarterback create big plays it is going to be a long night. We have to get after him and we have to force them out of their rhythm."
Kragtorpe has a positive outlook about what Kilian can do on the field. After a full year as the team's starter Kilian looks poised to improve on the numbers he put up last season.
"We have been able to do so many different things than we did last year," Kragthorpe said. "James gives us a good chance to do that because he is a very bright guy and he manages the game well, so we're excited."
Last season Kilian was named to the second team AllWestern Athletic Conference.

GALINDO: New shooter ready for Kansas court
a laugh, "so I've got to be his favorite."
Galindo spent two years at St. Benedict's Prep High School in Newark, N.J., before coming to Kansas. But despite his time away from Puerto Rico, he said he still felt great pride for his country. This especially held true during the Olympics, when the Puerto Rican basketball team defeated the United States 92-73 on Aug. 15.
"It's a big win for us," Galindo said. "Everybody wanted to beat the United States."
Galindo said he mostly idolized Puerto Rican players growing up but felt his game was modeled after that of European players.
Known as a pure shooter, Galindo struggled early in the Jayhawks' open practice Saturday but later found his touch, draining a pair of high-arcing threes in the final quarter.
"Alex can really shoot the ball." Self said. "He was nervous early but showed he could shoot it late."
Galindo said his goal would be to step onto the court without having the team miss a beat.
"I want to come in the game and keep doing what Keith, J.R. and Wayne have started doing so the level we are playing at doesn't go down," Galindo said. "That is going to be my role, and I'm prepared to do it."
Galindo is also prepared to show he has grown up since the situation with UTEP.
"At that time, I was kind of immature about the process," Galindo said. "Now, I know what I'm doing."

I HATE YOU
AND ATOOL
Today's Birthday (Sept. 1).
You're a great help to others this year, especially financially.
Better get your own money in order early so you'll have time to take care of somebody else's.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6.
HOROSCOPES
You're hot, but are you being sensible? Don't let frustration get the better of you. Patience is a virtue, but it also is an acquired skill. Practice.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Finish a domestic chore that you've been postponing. This might be nothing more than something you have to talk about. Once that's done, you'll feel much better and be more in the mood to cuddle.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7.
You'd probably rather go play with your friends than take care of your duties at home. This may not be such a bad idea, but this weekend there's no escape. Well, you might get to relax on Sunday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7.
You may be a little edgy,but try to maintain a cool demeanor.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8.
News from far away gladdens your heart after raising some doubts. Don't be sidetracked by your worries. It looks like everything turns out well.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
You're pretty sure you're right, but you're getting a lot of flack. Luckily, you have friends who help you stay on a difficult path.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Today is a 6.
You're kind of between a rock and a hard place, the frying pan and the fire. If you can't please everyone, endorse the team that's digging up the truth.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8.
You're busy, but are you efficient? Can you honestly say you're making the best use of your time? Get coaching from a Virgo.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Todav is a 7.
You're working to high standards now, and that may be inhibiting. You do have a couple of people who understand you perfectly. Let off steam to them even if it means making a long-distance call.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Togav is a 7.
Is the mess at home of your own making, or is it the result of too many visitors? Either way, it'll have to be cleaned up before the weekend. You'd better get started.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6.
You're a natural scholar. You're thorough and intense. But the subject you really should be studying is your own financial security. Make sure you have plenty.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
Work smarter instead of harder to get the rewards you so richly deserve. Manual labor isn't always required to get money. Let them pay you for your good ideas.

Riley on Ryder Cup team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
All it took was one phone call for Hal Sutton to get instant gratification as Ryder Cup captain.
On the other end of the line was Chris Riley.
"He could hardly speak to me on the phone," Sutton said. "He was estatic. If God lets me live long enough to hear one of my kids be that excited ... then it will all be worthwhile. Because Chris Pilau was that excited."
Wait until Sutton really gets to know him.
Riley gets excited over a plate of onion rings.
"He's like an 8-year-old," said Stewart Cink, who at 31 is about six months older than his Ryder Cup teammate. "Jay Haas is like our uncle. And then Chris is like our nephew. He's got a naive about him that draws you in. He's one of the great personalities on the tour that many people don't realize."
For most people, Riley is one of the great unknowns.
His only PGA Tour victory came two years ago at the Reno-Tahoe Open.
The most TV time he got this year was when his 5-foot birdie putt in the playoff at Torreys Pines somehow defied gravity and spun out of the cup, allowing John Daly to win for the first time in nine years.
Riley showed up again at the PGA Championship, somehow salvaging par from the bottom of the cliff on the par-3 17th at Whistling Straits.
He missed a 4-foot par putt on the final hole and fell one shot short of the playoff, but still got the final spot on the Ryder Cup team with a tie for fourth.
On paper, he is the least accomplished player on the American squad.
But take a poll of his teammates, and all of them are just as excited about having him at Oakland Hills.
"He's going to keep everyone loose," David Toms said. "I think he's going to be great.
Half of what he says is nuts. He asks so many questions that we call him "Really Riley."
Kenny Perry hasn't heard anyone that inquisitive since his son was in diapers.
"When my son was little, he was always saying, 'Why, Daddy? Why this? Why this?' And that's what Riley is like," Perry said. "He's a pure kid. Pure joy. He's a lot of fun to be around."
Riley played a practice round at Firestone with Phil Mickelson, Chad Campbell and Davis Love III, asking them everything and more about the Ryder Cup.
One of the famous stories on tour is the time Riley was playing in Reno and gazed at the snowcapped mountains.
According to two players and their caddies, Riley asked one of them, "That's not really snow up there, is it? Really? But it's warm down here, and wouldn't the snow melt being that much closer to the sun?"
Missouri's defense crucial
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Whether this is a breakout year for Missouri could depend upon how well the linebackers play in a restructured defense.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Tigers go into Saturday's opener at home against Arkansas State with a No. 18 ranking. The offense, led by Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback Brad Smith, is expected to be strong.
The question mark is the defense, restructured from a 4-2-5 scheme a year ago to a 4-3 base set. The additional linebacker is aimed at slowing the run.
"I think it's an athletic group of linebackers," coach Gary Pinkel said. "I think it's as athletic a group that I've probably been associated with in coaching at every place I've been."
"Athletically, they're the
---
Still, the group lacks experience. Senior James Kinney anchors the defense from the weak-side linebacker position, but the other two, sophomores Dedrick Harrington and David Richard, are new to the position.
mold." Pinkel said. "You'd clone those guys for the rest of your career. They fit it. But can you play linebacker? We'll see what happens."
Harrington moved to middle linebacker from rover, a staple of the 4-2-5. Before, Harrington could move anywhere between the secondary and the defensive line. In his new role, he is pinned down in the middle of the defense.
"I feel very good at (linebacker)," he said. "I had time in spring to learn the plays and just improve daily in two-a-days. So now I feel like I'm ready to go."
Richard made the switch to defense this spring, though he played the position in high school.
The adjustment simply has taken some time, Harrington said.
"Basically, I'm just closer to the ball," he said. "I do what any linebacker would do, as far as the scheme. I've got to play a lot tougher, a lot harder."
Richard's role changed completely. A St. Louis native that began his collegiate career as a tailback at Michigan State in 2002, Richard returned to his home state, sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules.
Kinney has helped both players adjust to the linebacker position. An All-American candidate and Butkus Award hopeful, Kinney has helped make the transition smoother for Harrington and Richard.
"He's a person on the field that knows everyone's responsibilities," Richard said. "He's a leader out on the field and a person you love to go to war with."
The group also has the benefit of playing behind an experienced defensive line. Pinkel, usually vague when evaluating his players, raves about senior Atiyah Ellison and junior C.J. Mosley, the team's top defensive tackles.
Sophomore Brian Smith, who led the Tigers with eight sacks last season, will not even start to begin the season, as the development of fellow sophomore Xzavie Jackson has forced Smith to the sideline.

Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens dances during the men's basketball team's "Soul Train" dance at Late Night in the Phog last year. The night concluded with the annual intrasquid scrimmage, where white beat blue 37-32 in one 20-minute half.
Late Night setback
By Dani Litt editor@kansan.com SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Students upset Midnight Madness comes on fall break
Late Night in the Phog is on Oct. 15 this year, one week later than usual. Because the date is the second day of fall break, some students may be missing the tradition.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said with all of the University's scheduling issues, it is difficult to put Late Night at the top of the list.
"It is very unfortunate for students
that it's over fall break, but I don't think it will affect attendance too much because hundreds of people couldn't get in last year." Marchiony said. "We certainly would rather have the students there, but the schedule just didn't work out."
Dan Lara, spokesman for University Relations, said Late Night has been on the Friday of homecoming week for the past three years, with fall break coming on the following weekend.
This year,homecoming week will be Oct. 2-9.Marchiony will16,300 people attended last year's Late Night.
Hayden Galler, Overland Park senior, has been to Late Night for the past three years, and was looking forward to it again this year. He already planned his fall break trip and will not be able to attend.
"The University should have looked at when the basketball teams can start practicing, and then scheduled fall break around that," Galler said. "I don't see why fall break couldn't have been the next weekend.
"There are plenty of Lawrence locals that will attend, but the point is for the student body to be able to go, not just the Lawrence community." Galler said.
Marchiony said the NCAA determined when practice can start. The first practice of the season is the Saturday closest to Oct.15 every year. Teams hold celebrations on eve of the first allowable practice day because the basketball team can have its first practice at midnight, known across the country as Midnight Madness.
Murder trial date to be set for Miller

Martin K. Miller's preliminary hearing, scheduled for today, was cancelled. The defense and the prosecutor will meet today to set the new preliminary hearing date.
Miller was arrested and charged July 30 with first-degree murder of his wife, Mary Miller, former KU librarian.
Christine Kenney, Douglas County district attorney, said that neither side would have been able to provide enough evidence by today's court meeting to consider it a preliminary hearing.
Dave Sabel, assistant to the district attorney, said that the two parties were waiting on additional police reports.
Mary Miller, 46, worked at Watson Library. Her husband found her dead the morning of July 28 in her home, 2105 Carolina St. He told police that he found his wife not breathing after he awoke.
Sgt. Dan Ward, a Lawrence Police spokesman, said that at the scene, the death was said to be of natural causes. After a coroner conducted an autopsy the death was considered a homicide. Ward said.
He said that the autopsy was normal procedure for any death of a young person with no record of health problems.

Late-enrolled students live in makeshift rooms at ends of residence halls
By Ross Firch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As of yesterday morning, Sigley, Wichita sophomore, is one of 15 male students living in temporary end rooms at the end of hallways in McCollum Hall and Oliver Hall.
Some rooms are occupied by two students.
When Owen Sigley found out he was accepted to the University of Kansas, he packed and headed to Lawrence. He did not expect he would be living in a makeshift room when he got there.
"Everybody refers to me as the guy who lives in the closet." Sigley said.
The end rooms are roughly 112 square feet, compared to regular double-occupant rooms, which are 210 square feet, said Vince Avila, associate director of student housing.
Diana Robertson, associate director for residence life, said the Department of Student Housing wanted to get two or three more students moved out of the end rooms yesterday. Last year the rooms were storage areas, and now, as bedrooms, they are just big enough for two bunk beds and two desks.
Avila said the end rooms were equipped
with phone, Internet and cable jacks, but they have not been activated because end rooms weren't used at all last year.
Sigley said he applied to the University in mid-June and found out he was accepted two days before classes started.
Sigley was told it would be a few weeks before he would be placed in another room. He said he was a little worried that the department hadn't talked to him recently about his situation.
"I just hope they haven't forgotten about me." Sigley said.

St. Lawrence garage offers alternative to oversold lots
BY TESS MONTANO
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
St. Lawrence Catholic Center will sell parking permits for its garage to University of Kansas students Sept. 21. The additional 135 spaces could help alleviate parking shortages on campus, where University lots are oversold 44 percent this semester.
"There's been some student interest," said Nancy Krische, front office coordinator for St. Lawrence. "We get an average of three to four calls every day asking about permits."
The garage, located on the corner of 15th Street and Angel Road, is available for student parking for the second year.
Permits will cost $50. Students who attend church at St. Lawrence can purchase permits starting Sept. 7, before permits are offered to the general student body.
"It just makes more sense to get a permit there," Beauford said. "I won't have to arrive at the Lied Center an hour early to try and find a space, and then take the bus to campus."
Todd Beauford, Overland Park senior, said he has a lot of interest in getting a permit because he drove to campus from Pinnacle Woods every day.
Students who park in the Lied Center lot use the Park-and-Ride program and take a bus to campus.
He said parking is always a problem.
A Park-and-Ride pass allows parking in the Lied Center lot and includes a bus pass.
A pass costs $85 for a semester and $150 for a full year. The
Lied Center lot is oversold by 37 percent this year, according to the Parking Department Web site.
Of the approximately 30,000 cars parked on campus, commuting students make up almost 20,000, according to the Parking Department.
Parking spaces allotted for commuting students can accommodate less than 30 percent of the drivers.
Christine Denning, director of operations at St. Lawrence, said St. Lawrence does have extra restrictions for the garage that
may interfere with students' schedules.
"We have some very strict rules about the lot," said Denning. "There won't be weekend parking, overnight parking or parking when there is a funeral or holy day Mass."
Beaufort doesn't have a problem with the restrictions.
"Being a church and all, I'm sure there will be days when I can't park there," Beauford said. "But as far as price and convenience go, it's more worth the hassle than getting a bus pass and parking at the
Lied Center."
Denning said selling permits had not been part of the original plan for the garage, but the idea had come up after construction was completed June 2003.
The profits from the permit sales will be put in a fund for the upkeep of the garage.
Students interested in purchasing a permit can contact St. Lawrence at 843-0357 or stop by the center.

Haskell speaker talks politics
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — After speaking at their graduation ceremony this spring, U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs Leader David Anderson returned to Haskell Indian Nations University this week to reminded students to take control of their lives.

Milosevic denounces tribunal as 'farce'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A Yugoslav war crimes tribunal acquitted a Bosnian Serb leader of genocide yesterday, while former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic told a separate panel the charges he himself faces are "empty words" and a "mutilation of justice."
The verdict in the five-year trial of Radislav Brdjanian, wartime leader of the autonomous Krajina region of Bosnia, should encourage Milosevic, who launched his defense this week against charges of genocide and more than 60 other counts of war crimes.
Brdjanin, 56, a powerful Serb figure at the start of the Bosnian war in 1992, was convicted on eight of 12 charges and sentenced to 32 years imprisonment — a surprisingly lengthy term in view of the acquittals on the most serious charges related to genocide and extermination.
Despite a Serb campaign of mass murder, torture and deportations of non-Serbs, the court said the brutality fell short of genocide, which requires stringent proof of the sole intent was to wipe out the Muslim and Croat communities.
The acquittal was a setback for prosecutors who placed genocide at the center of Milosevic's indictment. He is accused of responsibility for the deaths
of more than 7,500 Bosnian Muslim men and boys in the U.N.-protected enclave of Srebrenica in 1995.
The court said it would announce today whether it will impose defense counsel on Milosevic, who has insisted on defending himself despite repeated bouts of ill health that have delayed the trial by months.
The tribunal has set a high bar for a genocide conviction. Of more than a dozen Serbs charged with genocidio, only one, Gen. Radislav Krstic, has been convicted — and the charge was reduced on appeal to aiding and abetting genocide.
Yesterday, Milosevic concluded a 5 1/2-hour opening statement, denouncing his trial as "a farce, pure and simple."
"This indictment represents a sum of unscrupulous manipulation, lies, crippling of the law, and an unjust presentation of the history," he said. The charges are a "sheer mutilation of justice. Nothing else. What it says there are empty words."
wintosevic failed to address the specific charges he faces, instead arguing the Serbs faced a conspiracy of persecution by Croats, Islamic fundamentalists, the United States, NATO and the Vatican.

"What the Serbs did was only making up for what the Muslims and the Croats took away from them," he said.
the right, the opportunity to voice the truth."

Yugoslav President
Prosecutors suggested Milosevic ask
one of his Belgrade legal assistants to represent him in the courtroom. Judge O-Gon Kwon told him he could continue speaking in court even if another attorney was leading the defense, but Milosevic has refused.
"I really cannot accept at all that you do not give me the right, the opportunity to voice the truth," Milosevic said.
Prosecutors cited medical reports from last week that Milosevic was unfit to represent himself and was refusing to take prescribed drugs to control his high blood pressure in order to delay the proceedings.
The indictment accuses Milosevic of orchestrating or condoning murder, the destruction of towns and places of worship and the expulsion of hundreds of thousands in an effort to create an ethnically pure "greater Serbia" by funding and arming Serbian uprisings in Croatia and Bosnia.
Milosevic said that the drugs made him too drowsy to work on his case.

Hays said they were held overnight at Pier 57, where 10 protesters were placed in pens with 10-foot chain link fences without food, water or toilet facilities.

Jacob Imber, 2004 graduate, listens to Jeff McDonald talk about his experiences in the Peace Corps. Imber will leave for South Africa later this month. McDonald, graduate student in religious studies, went to Lesotho, in southern Africa, in spring 2002 and came back this August. While in Lesotho, McDonald taught computer classes in a women's technical school. The school had one computer which still used a 5.25-inch floppy disk drive.
Corps connection for KU father, son
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STATE WRIVER
More than 30 years after his father joined the Peace Corps, Jacob Imber will leave this month to join other members of the Peace Corps in South Africa.
Imber, who graduated in May with a degree in chemical engineering, said the idea of joining the corps had always been in the back of his mind. He decided to apply to the corps after he completed an internship between his junior and senior year with an oil company. He decided chemical engineering was not what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.
"I think it's the opportunity of a lifetime for me," Imber said. "After four years of college, I'm ready to do something new. Partying can only go so far."
Betty Baron, KU Peace Corps coordinator, said she recommended that students start applying early. The application process usually takes 6 to 9 months. Peace Corps volunteers must be 18 years old and a U.S. citizen. The oldest person in the corps, Baron said, was 84 years old.
Imber said he liked that the Peace Corps had no hidden agenda. The corps only goes to countries where help has been requested, Imber said. Imber hopes to attend medical school after his two years and three months of service are over. He might like to work for Doctors Without Borders, a nonprofit organization that provides health care to victims of war, disease, disasters and poverty.
Mickey Imber, Jacob's father, served in the Peace Corps in the early 1970s.
Africa, organizing services and employment for the blind. He had never met anyone who regretted joining the Peace Corps.
Mickey, a professor in the department of teaching and leadership, said he spent time in Togo, on the western coast of
"It gave me a better perspective on the world," Mickey said.
People have to evaluate their own interests and motives when deciding whether or not to join the Peace Corps, Mickey said.
It's a good way for people to actually feel like they're helping someone, Mickey said. He didn't think the Peace Corps was for everyone.
Mickey said Siou, Togo, was an extremely pleasant village to live in.
When he was there, Togo had one dirt road leading into the village and one store with no more than 10 to 15 items in it at one time. Living in Togo was a very basic existence, but he enjoyed it and is in favor of Jacob going to South Africa.
Baron said the Peace Corps allowed people to see personal benefits, while at the same time helping other people.
At the end of service, the Peace Corps gives $6,075. Members receive two days of vacation every month with all expenses paid. The corps also provides financial help for graduate students.
Baron said she felt the Peace Corps could help people to see where they fit in the world. Peace Corps members helped people learn how to help themselves.
SENATE
An informational meeting, the "Passport Party," will be open to anyone Nov. 3. The meeting will be held in the Kansas Union, and will have three past volunteers from the Peace Corps who will talk about their experiences at the meeting. The Peace Corps office is in the University Career Center at 110 Burge.

Newspaper Readership program paying off
The Newspaper Readership program has generated an excess of about $266,800 since the program began in Fall 2001.
Student Senate passed legislation at its meeting last night that will give $200,000 of that to the KU on Wheels reserve account, about $63,800 to the Student Media Board and $3,000 to the Newspaper Readership Board.
The KU on Wheels reserve account will receive more funding to allow a surplus of $500,000.
The amount is equivalent to two months of the cost to run the program and will be left in the reserve account. Without the extra funds from the Newspaper Readership program, the Transportation Board would have needed to raise the campus fee for KU on Wheels. Original legislation for the fee stated that excess funds could be allocated to the Student Media Board. The funds from Student Media Board will be allocated to KUJH, KJHK, The University Daily Kansan and Kiosk.
The founder of the International Justice Mission Gary Haugen, will speak about oppression and injustice in the world. ICTHUS, a campus Christian organization, will host Haugen.
Student Senate passed legislation to fund $500 for the honorarium fee, $400 for room rental in Budig Hall and $200 for general funding for ICTHUS.
Haugen will speak at 8 p.m., Sept. 12 in 104 Budig Hall. Student Senate's guidelines state that Senate must fund religious and partisan groups for general supplies and special events.
The events must be open to all students and the event's purpose must not promote the group.

Billings made local impact, deserves honor
After returning to Lawrence from summer break, you probably noticed and questioned the name change of 15th Street to Bob Billings Parkway. For most students, it's an empty street name and an inconvenient change in getting and giving directions, but the name change is actually a long-due thank-you to one of Lawrence's finest benefactors.
Bob Billings was somewhat of a hometown hero in Lawrence. During his lifetime, he contributed to many aspects of the growth and betterment of our town and its citizens. Billings grew up in Russell, across the street from former senator Bob Dole.
He chose the University of Kansas over a football scholarship to Oklahoma because of the Kansas basketball program and Wilt Chamberlain, with whom he was lifelong friends, said John McGrew, another lifelong friend of Billings. At the University, Bob majored in business while maintaining a tough basketball practice regimen.
After he graduated, he took over the office of aids and awards now the office of student financial aid — and raised money for students in need for the next 10 years.
In the words of McGrew, "He just adopted Lawrence." Billings and McGrew set out to find a piece of land large enough for Billings' vision, Alvamar. They were more successful than they ever dreamed. Billings started the 3000-acre
development, naming it after his father, Alva, and his mother, Margaretta.
Billings also served on the Kansas Public Service Board, the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association and the Penn House Board, a local charity that collects clothing and other items to give to the poor, according to the biography on the program of his memorial service.
For all of his work toward improving Lawrence, he was named the Citizen of the Years 2002.
He encouraged others to donate money for a new Lawrence Memorial Hospital Cardiac Center. Billings' friends and fans raised $250,000 for the new center, which opened this summer.
For all his efforts, the Lawrence Home Builders Association proposed naming the street after Billings as a tribute. The Lawrence City Commission approved the tribute unanimously, and Bob Billings Parkway was born.
McGrew called the decision to change a street name, especially a numbered street, "unprecedented," but he said it was an appropriate tribute to a deserving man. The street runs near Billings' developments and would probably not stretch so far west if not for him.
So, when you're giving directions around town, call Bob Billings Parkway what you will in order to find your way. But remember and have pride in the local hero it commemorates.

UNIVERSITY DAY JANUARY 2009
Left neglects its liberal philosophy
Ask any staff member of the University Daily Kansan who knows me, and they will tell you that I am a conservative.
In fact, my guess is that a major reason the Kansan hired me is that a conservative viewpoint would help the opinion page reach the Kansan's mission statement. The statement calls for, in part, for the Kansan to "serve as a primary, credible news source for a diverse University community."
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
If the Kansan is respecting diversity, the rest of the University of Kansas and its students should respect it as well. It's just too bad it doesn't.
Only a fool would disagree with me if I said the University fosters a liberal climate. But for those fools who might disagree, here are some national figures from a recent survey issued by the Center for the Study of Popular Culture and the American Enterprise Institute:
More than 90 percent of professors who work in the arts and sciences departments at leading colleges and universities belong to either democrat, green or working class parties.
Among history professors at the University of Colorado at Boulder, only one out of 29 was a registered Republican — and among 19 political science professors only two Republicans could be found.
At the University of Texas at Austin, of the 109 professors who identified a political affiliation, 94 were Democrats and 15 were Republicans.
FORUM
Assuming that the University follows that trend — hardly an assumption that's off base — then the likelihood of many conservative professors here is pretty slim. Why does this matter?
STEVE VOCKRODT
svockrodt@kansan.com
Among my greatest disappointments with college is how little opposing viewpoints are tolerated. I thought the days of being ridiculed for having a minority viewpoint were going to be left behind in high school. Papers and discussions held in class that have politically conservative slants are met with either with derision or indifference most of the time.
servative, then there are lots of conservatives we will never hire."
After looking up the word "liberal" in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, I was referred to the term "liberalism." Its definition, in part, stressed "intellectual liberty," which is synonymous with open-mindedness. But are liberals truly as open-minded as they pride themselves on being?
An incident at Duke University highlighted this contradiction. A campus organization of conservative students called the Duke administration out on the imbalance among faculty members who identified themselves politically. The Democrats among Duke's faculty outnumber Republicans 142 to 8. The chairman of Duke's philosophy department, Robert Brandon, responded to the student newspaper, The Chronicle, thusly: "We try to hire the best, smartest people available. If, as John Stuart Mill said, stupid people are generally con-
That's not too unlike the climate surrounding classrooms here. With that sort of thinking, maybe we should stop evaluating people on who they actually are and instead opt for stereotypes. A job posting in Mr. Brandon's department might as well instruct the race-baiting, homosexual-hating, gun-wielding Southern rednecks not to bother applying.
True to Mr. Brandon's ideology, examples of conservative politicians are ridiculed in classes and conservative columnists in the Kansan are called "retards" in the Free For All.
Considering all this, I challenge the faculty and students to actually become open-minded. Embrace, instead of ridicule, your counterparts and what they're talking about. Debate your political, ideological and moral opposites rationally rather than with insults, half-cocked conclusions and silly stereotypes. Same goes to the conservatives, but at least conservatives don't constantly pretend to preach open-mindedness where no such open-mindedness exists. Either way, try to at least listen to the other side. Many times, one will find that both sides of the extremes are usually saying the same thing.
So the University is hardly unlike Duke and their philosophy chairman's comments (by the way, Mr. Brandon, it might help to update yourself on what Mill meant by conservative in his time much different than today).
Vockrodt is a Denver senior in journalism and political science.
Complaints about the calendar's "mysterious" selection process may be valid, but you made little effort to learn about the process from the organizations and women involved.
Dear Linda,
Your Aug. 31 critique of the KU Women of Distinction calendar failed for several reasons.
Dear Editors,
Comparing the selection processes for the Women of KU calendar and the Distinction calendar is weak. Praising the Women of KU process because it is"open to everyone" ignores the fact that women who do not meet its physical appearance standards are wasting their time.
Women of Distinction editorial undermines positive efforts
Dismissing the Distinction calendar as "a piece of paper" insults people who contributed their talents and time. The photography and typesetting make the project a beautiful showcase for the abilities of women - and men - who work hard at KU.

Forecasters said the still- strengthening Category 4 storm could hit on Labor Day weekend as early as Friday night, less than three weeks after Charley raked Florida's western coast with 145 mph wind, causing billions of dollars in damage and killing 27 people.
"I can't emphasize enough how powerful this is. If there's something out there that's going to weaken it, we haven't seen it," National Hurricane Center director Max Mayfield said.
Gov. Jeb Bush and Georgia
Gov. Sonny Perdue declared
states of emergency, activating the National Guard. Bush also warned more evacuations may be ordered.
Many homes in southwest Florida still have blue tarps patching holes in their roofs after Charley, and some streets remain full of storm debris that could become wind-blown projectiles.
jewels:
"We've just gone through 2
1/2 weeks of torture trying to get
our lives back to some sense of
order," said Punta Gorda retiree
Tom Hamilton.
Evacuation orders were posted for 300,000 residents in coastal areas of Palm Beach County, and nearly 200,000 were told to leave mobile homes and low-lying areas of Brevard, Martin and Indian River counties, which could be hit by tremendous ocean waves. The evacuation orders were set to take effect this afternoon.
Frances was about 650 miles southeast of Florida yesterday evening, heading northwest on a course that would take it to the central portion of Florida's eastern coast. Residents of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina watched the forecast closely in case Frances
took a sharper turn to the north.
Bush cautioned that "all the science in the world and all the technology in the world isn't going to be able to pinpoint exactly where the storm goes."
Frances would be the fourth storm to affect Charleston, S.C., this summer. Bonnie and Charley arrived within days of each other in August, and Gaston dumped more than 13 inches of rain in some areas when it came ashore Sunday.
With the ground saturated from previous storms, more rain and the slightest wind could cut utility service for thousands, even if they don't take a direct hit from the storm.
"With the ground this wet, trees could easily topple," said Tom Williams, a spokesman for Duke Power in Charlotte, N.C.
The storm and the mass evacuations are sure to spoil Labor Day outings and make a mess of holiday travel across the Southeast.
GOP speeches label Kerry 'wrong ... weak'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Vice President Dick Cheney unleashed a stinging attack on President Bush's challenger last night, ridiculing him as a man who has made a career out of changing his mind. "Yet time and again Sen. Kerry has made the wrong call on national security," he said to the Republican National Convention.
Nominated by cheering delegates for a second term, Cheney hailed the president as a "superb commander in chief" who will lead the nation to victory in the war on terror. Bush "does not deal in empty threats and half measures," Cheney said.
Cheney represented half of a double-barreled prime-time assault on the Democratic presidential candidate from the GOP convention podium.
Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) delivered a Republican keynote address: "For more than 20 years, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure."
With two months remaining in a close election, and the pool of undecided voters a small one. Republicans relished the oppor-
unity to place a Democrat out front at their convention.
Bush campaigned in Ohio — the quintessential battleground state — before boarding Air Force One for the flight to a convention city that simmered with dissent. He takes his own turn at the Madison Square Garden podium tonight for an acceptance speech that aides said will outline a second-term agenda.
Police watched warily as demonstrators waving pink slips formed a line three miles long in Manhattan to protest the Bush administration's economic policies. Fewer than a dozen arrests were reported, one day after police took into custody more than 1,000 demonstrators who threatened to march in the convention hall.
A small group of AIDS activists managed to get into the Garden itself during the morning, although the convention was not in session at the time. They blew whistles and chanted, "Bush kills," at a morning session of GOP youth before being hustled from the floor.
Kerry ended a brief stint on the campaign sidelines, defying tradition by making an appearance while his rival's national convention was in progress.

LATE NIGHT:
Tradition occurs
over fall break
Marchiony said Kansas's event has become one of the most popular traditions because of the fans' passion for lavihawk basketball.
At Late Night, team members perform dances and skits, and various athletics teams are introduced. A scrimmage takes place before fans as the grand finale.
"There are a lot of great KU fans, they'll be that night, and I'm sure some students will show despite fall break," Marchiony said.
Justin Ladden, New Orleans sophomore, will be in Lawrence during fall break and will attend Late Night, but is upset his friends will not be able to go.
"I think this is a big thing for the University," Ladden said. "They should change it back to the week of homecoming because I wouldn't want my friends to miss it again."
Homeless shelters receive extra funds

COMMUNI
Last Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission gave $11,610 to the Community Drop-In Center, Salvation Army and the Lawrence Open Shelter. Sept. 11 will mark the first Saturday the CDIC has ever been open, which is being made possible because of the extra money.
will meet with the commission in December to discuss the progress, and possibly budge more funding for 2005.
The CDIC provides anyone a place to do their laundry, eat breakfast and make phone calls. Tami Clark, director of the Community Drop-In Center in Lawrence, said if anyone wanted to educate themselves on homelessness, they were welcome to come down to the CDIC and grab a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, pull up a chair and just start talking to people.
Sue Hack, city commissioner, said the commission granted the request from Clark because the commission was able to help out financially. Hack said there were two parts to the request: one part was for immediate help, and the second was to be included in the city budget for 2005. The Task Force on Homeless Concerns
Tami Clark is the director of the Community Drop-In Center in Lawrence. The CDIC gives homeless residents of Lawrence a place to shower, eat and do laundry.
Clark said she found the CDIC job in the paper. The description involved the words "coordinator" and "homelessness."

She showed up at a vacant building with a cardboard table with four board members seated around it. She realized that she could have a lot of fun with this job, but at the same time had no elue how to help or build a relationship with someone who was homeless.
"It's amazing what a simple hello and acknowledgement of their existence can do for a person," she said.
She heard some people experiencing homelessness say they felt invisible because no one wanted to look at them. The most common human reaction to seeing a homeless person is guilt, Clark said.
Hack said the increased funding to the CDIC will provide more hours for a case worker.
Kristen Harms, case manager for the CDIC, helps people who come into the CDIC find
employment and housing. She tried to provide support and encouragement for them because they didn't have anyone to be their advocate.
Clark said being able to increase Harms' hours as a case manager would help her get more jobless people employed.
Employment leads to housing. Clark said.
The first day the CDIC was open, it served about six people. The CDIC is now serving 50 to 70 people a day.
Clark said she wanted the CDIC to be a place where people, homeless or not, could overcome stereotypes, break down barriers and get to know each other.
Clark said she wanted people experiencing homelessness to be able to feel like they were a part of society.

MILLER: Appeal to attend church, visit children postponed
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Miller, 45, was released from jail on Aug. 11 after being held since July 31.
According to Douglas County jail records, he was released after a $150,000 bond was paid in cash.
On Aug.19, Miller asked that some of the restrictions of his bond be changed, to allow him to attend church on Sundays and have supervised visits with his children.
The Douglas County Courts ordered that there would be no changes to the conditions of his bond until after the preliminary hearing, said Kenney.
Witnesses in the trial include Miller's children and Kris Sperry, Lawrence native and chief medical examiner for the state of Georgia.
Miller and his wife attended Victory Bible Church, 1942 Massachusetts St. Mary Miller was also involved of with the Lawrence Children's Choir.
A memorial service for Mary Miller was held at Victory Bible Church August 10.
She left behind Martin, her husband of 25 years, and two teenage children, Melodie Ruth and Matthew Joseph Robert.

HALLS: Students pay full rate for smaller rooms
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the students living in the end rooms were late enrollees. More late enrollees and fewer cancellations were the two main reasons students were in end rooms this year, Stoner said.
Stoner said there were usually about 100 to 150 students who either don't show up or leave during the first two weeks of classes. The department took this into account when renting rooms to students in the residence halls
"We always overbook a little." Stoner said.
Stoner said students had been placed in end rooms in the past, particularly in 2002-2003 when Ellsworth Hall was being
renovated. Stoner said the department wanted students out of temporary rooms as soon as possible.
Matthew Thornton, Pittsburg, Kan., freshman, also lives in an end room. His roommate moved out Tuesday. Thornton said he was frustrated at his lack of options.
"I wasn't able to pick anything else when I got here," Thornton said.
Thomton was also a late enrollee. He said he was mainly upset at not having access to the Internet because the University's official means of communication with students was through e-mail.
Many students living in regular rooms sympathized with the students in the end rooms.
Dan Hoyt, Dodge City sophomore, lives beside Sigley. He said Sigley and other late enrollees were being penalized because of their situation.
"They applied late, but that's no reason they have to stay in the closet," Hoyt said.
Hoyt said end-room dwellers shouldn't have to pay the same rate he does because they only had half of a room.
Stoner said students living in end rooms paid the regular double-room rate of $1,138 per semester. He said students were not given a discounted rate because they contracted for a double-rate room.
could move to rooms that opened up in other residence halls, with the understanding that they would return to McCollum or Oliver should a room open up there.
Students in the end rooms have options. They could stay in the end rooms and wait, or they
Stoner said students could get out of their contracts with the Department of Student Housing and live in Naismith Hall. He said students would have to pay Naismith's rate because it was an off-campus residence hall.
Kathy Oropeza, manager of Naismith, said the Naismith's management and the Department of Student Housing had worked out a group rate for students coming from the end rooms. She was not able to disclose the exact rate.

C. J. Giles, freshman forward, looks to pass during last weekend's scrimmage. Giles parents both played basketball for the University of Kansas.
Parents motivate freshman Jayhawk
BY JESSE NEWELL
jnewell@kansan.com
KANSAN SWIFTWRIER
Editor's Note: This is the last in a series profiling Bill Self's first recruiting class at Kansas. The freshmen will play their first game as Jayhawks on Saturday in Vancouver, Canada.
Freshman C.J. Giles had some definite influences when deciding on a basketball school.
Like father. Like mother. Like son.
C. J.'s father, Chester, played for KU from 1978-80, while his mother Gayle Goodwin played in 1978-79.
"When I was growing up, my mom and dad always talked about how exciting it is and how fan-oriented this whole school is," Giles said. "I was excited ever since I was little to come here, and I'm just real excited to be here right now."
Giles almost didn't get the opportunity.
The 6-foot-10 center from Seattle originally signed a letter of intent with the University of Miami, but backed out after the school fired coach Perry Clark. After re-opening his recruitment, Giles considered Kansas and Washington, at one point saying he was "99 percent sure" he would play in his home state.
His mind changed quickly as he announced his intentions to play for Kansas on May 19 in front of Washington television cameras.
Giles said the second decision was tough on both him and his family.
"It was just real hard for me after my coach got fired to pick which school I wanted to go to," Giles said. "But I knew I wanted to come here."
The center said since arriving on campus, his sole focus has been basketball.
"I just wanted to focus on winning a national championship," Giles said.
Coach Bill Self said he would like to see Giles bulk up during his Jayhawk career. Currently listed at 220 pounds, Giles is recovering from a virus he had during the summer, which caused him to lose 15 pounds.
"I have gained a lot more weight," Giles said. "I'm trying to gain a little bit more before I'm back up to where I was. I'm healthy now, and I'm ready to play."
Self said he would still like to see progression in the future from Giles, but that the weight wouldn't stop him from playing this season.
"I think C.J.'s too thin, but I think he can hold his own," Self said. "He needs to get some weight on him, but he's really looked good for the first practices."
Giles said he is prepared to play any role needed of him at Kansas.
"If it means getting 15 rebounds and no points, I'm going to do that," Giles said. "I'm going to do whatever I have to do."
Tailgating season back

While the University of Kansas allows tailgating and alcohol consumption on the grounds surrounding Memorial Stadium, there are strict guidelines that must be followed to avoid penalties and hefty fines.
An updated list of tailigating rules were released by University Relations today.
According to the guidelines, tailgaters can consume alcohol only during the three-hour period before kickoff in designated tailgate areas.
underage drinking or unlawful use of alcohol.

Edited by Jon Ralston
Captain Schuyler Bailey at the KU Public Safety Office said the office gave out six citations at home games last year. Two of the citations were for underage drinking and four were for consumption in a public place. This total does not include citations issued by Alcohol Beverage Control.
"While underage drinking does occur along with other alcohol violations, the majority of people attending games and tailgating comply with the rules and regulations." Bailey said.
Bailey said that there are many other issues officers watch for.
"Officers spend a lot of time managing the flow of pedestrian and vehicle traffic in and out of the stadium area, assisting fans with information as well as tailgating rules and alcohol laws."

Bailey said.
Mark Knapp, Chanute junior, is looking forward to his first year tailgating.
"We have not tailged in the past because we knew there was the possibility to get into trouble with most of my friends and I being underage," Knapp said.
Activities by the KU's Korean War Memorial Fund, the KU spirit squad, the KU sports clubs and the Nichols League student will benefit the "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" tailgating fundraiser outside Memorial Stadium.
At 1 p.m. this Saturday, Memorial Stadium's gates will open to show the Kansas men's basketball exhibition game in Vancouver, Canada, on the MegaVision screen. Tailgating will not begin until 3 p.m.
Knapp said that there is more to tailgating than just drinking.
He said gathering together with friends, relaxing and hanging out were also important.

Josi Lima scored the Jayhawks' last five points of the match in a close victory over Arkansas last night at Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville, Ark. Kansas won three of four games: 30-20, 30-26, 30-30 and 30-25.
The Razorbacks, who, like the Jayhawks, were eliminated in the second round of last year's NCAA tournament, had never lost a home opener. They won the only other meeting between the teams, a 3-2 victory in the 2003 Jayhawk Classic tournament.
"It was a tough environment and a quality win for us," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said after yesterday's match.
Lima, junior middle blocker, scored a match-high 15 kills and contributed six aces from the service line.

Volleyball's Jill Dorsey: All good
Rarely do you hear of a standout Division-I student athlete who is a high school valedictorian, a model and a humble person, but that description is perfect for Kansas' senior volleyball star Iill Dorsev.
Coming from the rural town of Wellsville, 30 miles southeast of Lawrence and populated by an astounding two thousand residents, Dorsey managed to earn a D-I scholarship after being named to the Kansas All-State squad four consecutive seasons in high school. And volleyball wasn't the only sport she dominated. Dorsey holds her high school's record for highest batting average, at .420.
College has been nothing but continued success for Dorsey. As a freshman, she started for the Jayhawks and has done so ever since. Besides being a force on the court at the libero position, Dorsey has also been named first-team Academic All-Big 12 in 2002 and 2003.
■ I think of myself as a team leader; I'm the enthusiastic one on the court and I've kind of taken that role because I'm goofy and I like to have fun.
This week, Jill Dorsey shares her wisdom and experience:
I live on a farm. Lawrence is a lot more diverse than Wellsville, Kan., and I like the change. I had'a graduating class of 50, and coming from that to here is a lot different, but I love it.
GOING DEEP
Of course we are going back to the tournament this year. Hopefully we'll host first and second rounds and find our way to Long Beach for the Final Four.
■ I add some energy, killer defense and bring emotion.
I love seeing people everyday that I don't know and having the opportunity to meet them.
I want to be successful in everything I do — give 100 percent and be a
SHANE KUCERA skucera@kansan.com
good friend, daughter and maybe a good wife one day.
- On the court I'm most proud of being a part of last year's team that went through a lot of trials and reached our goals. I'm really proud of our team last year.
`Off the court I think I'm most proud of maintaining a good GPA. In high school I was valedictorian with a 4.0.`
■ I always go home on Sundays to have family dinner and go to church, if I get up early enough.
I'm a daddy's girl and I wouldn't trade it for the world, because my mom and my dad are really important to me. I also have two older brothers that I look up to more than anybody — they were my heroes growing up because they were big into athletics.
Having my family close is really important to me.
I can lift some weights. I'm kinda strong — it comes with my position, squatting all game long.
I'm an aunt now, it's crazy!
- Two weeks ago was the first time I ever bench-pressed in my life; I can lift more than the bar.
I've never been in a fight. I'm always the girl behind, like, "Yeah!" If my teammates ever got into a little tusk I'd back 'em up for sure, but I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Nobody has ever asked me to be in the Women of KU calendar. I've never considered it because I've never had
the question asked, but if I did my dad would probably not like that.
I did modeling when I was a senior in high school. I was actually on the cover of a magazine. I don't think I'm really model material by any means.
■ This might get me in trouble — my favorite bar is anywhere my teammates go. I could be in Louise's West or Abe and Jake's, from the smallest bar to the biggest bar, wherever my friends are at.
I usually go to Brother's, but that's so cliché for athletes.
Our curfew is 11 p.m., so we can't always out.
I've heard a lot of bad pickup lines, especially guys that use the volleyball thing, like, "Hey No. 1, you wear a different colored jersey." Stupid things about volleyball get my attention because I think they're fans, but really they're fans for the wrong reasons. I hear a lot of lines like, "Are you tired because you've been walking through my mind all day?"
■ When a guy is really needy that's a turnoff. Girls like challenges but not too much of a challenge. There is a really thin line.
I can't be rude; I really can't.
■ I don't know how I can be intimidating. I've always got a big smile on my face.
■ You learn a lot about yourself dating in college and a lot about what you really want, especially because you change a lot as a person, because you have to.
Dating in college has been interesting for me for sure, but it's important and it's fun.
SEE DORSEY ON PAGE 6B
- The athletic department is just like our own fraternity or sorority.
■ Currently, right now I'm just kinda laving low.

Chiefs receiver Boerigter placed on injured reserve list
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Wide receiver Marc Boerigter, who injured his knee on a non-contact play, was placed on injured reserve yesterday by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Boeringer was hurt Saturday night in the first quarter of the Chiefs' exhibition game against Cleveland. After a good training camp, he was entrenched as the team's third receiver
assembled as the team's third receiver. He had been scheduled to have knee surgery Monday, but that was delayed after the third-year receiver decided to get other opinions from doctors about whether the surgery was necessary.
Boerigter, 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, has appeared in 31 games with the Chiefs in the past two-seasons, averaging almost 19 yards on 31 catches.
He had an NFL record-tying 99-yard touchdown reception in 2002.

kobe assault charge dropped
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAGLE, Colo. — The Kobe Bryant case collapsed yesterday as prosecutors said they had no choice but to drop the sexual assault charge against the NBA star because his accuser no longer wanted to participate.
Bryant, whose trial had been days from opening arguments, responded with an apology to the woman who had accused him.
"Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did," Bryant said. "I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter."
With the parents of the 20-year-old alleged victim looking on, District Judge Terry Ruckriegle threw out the case under a deal that means no charges will be refiled.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert told Ruckleigh the woman did not want to testify or otherwise participate in the trial.
the dismissal marks a stunning turn in the high-profile case against one the NBA's brightest young stars. For months, prosecutors had insisted they had a strong enough case to win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.
The woman's attorney, John Clune, said she has been through an extremely difficult time over the 14 months since she alleged she was raped, and was disturbed by a series of courthouse mistakes that included release of her name and medical history.
"It is in her sincere belief that when this case ends, she does not want to be brought back into the criminal process." Clune said.
"The difficulties that this case has imposed on this woman the past year are unimaginable."
Instead, prosecutors backed away after spending thousands of dollars and just days before opening statements were scheduled to begin on Tuesday. Jury selection was scheduled
to wrap up this week.
Bryant, 26, has said he had consensual sex with a then-19-year-old employee of a Vail-area resort where he staved last summer.
Had he been convicted, the Los Angeles Lakers star would have faced four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation, and a fine up to $750,000.
$ 50,000.
Bryant, who still faces a federal civil lawsuit filed by the accuser that seeks unspecified damages, apologized to the victim "for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year.
"Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure," said Bryant, who also apologized to her family, his family and friends and the citizens of Eagle.
Bryant said that while the civil case remains, that part of this case "will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado."
Cowboys have little break time
Dallas faces quick turnaround at home against Kansas City
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells was in his office at 5 a.m. yesterday watching film, trying to take advantage of every possible minute.
For the Cowboys, it's already time to play another game.
Just 69 hours after completing their last game, the Cowboys (2-1) play their exhibition finale tonight against the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2). And, despite the short turnaround, Parcells is planning to play his starters.
"You can't protect guys in this game," Parcells said. "Every time I've
seen someone try to protect guys, it always works just the opposite way because the whole team gets a sense that's what you're doing."
So Vinny Testaverde will start again at quarterback and play more than just a couple of series against the Chiefs. The 40-year-old quarterback threw for 240 yards and his first preseason touchdown Monday night against Tennessee.
Kansas City is playing its third game in 11 days, having lost on the last play to Cleveland on Saturday night, but coach Dick Vermell has never played twice in four days like the Cowboys are doing
Two years ago, the Chiefs had the worst defense in the league. They ranked 29th last season and in a playoff loss to Indianapolis never even forced a punt.
It will also be the final tuneup for the attack-mode defense installed by new Chiefs coordinator Gunther Cunningham. Defensive improvement has been the point of emphasis.
Vermeil plans to have his starters to get about 25 snaps each.
"I think people will see a difference. Only time will tell," Pro Bowl safety Jerome Woods said. "That last game has left a sour taste in our mouths."
Woods, hampered throughout camp by a hamstring injury, is expected to make his first preseason start tonight.
One of the biggest decisions still facing the Chiefs is whether Canadian Football League standout Lawrence Tynes can finally beat out Morten Andersen, the NFL's No. 2 career scoring leader, to be the kicker. The 44-year-old Andersen held off Tynes twice the past three years.
the past three years.
Tynes is scheduled to get all of the
kicks tonight, including kickoffs, but
that doesn't mean it's his job to lose.

Former running back to be honored Super Bowl I star Curtis McClinton returns to Memorial Stadium

Only few schools can say that a former member of its football team scored one the first touchdowns in NFL Super Bowl history. One of those schools is the University of Kansas.
Former Kansas running back Curtis McClinton hauled in a 7-yard pass from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson to even the score 7-7 against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl I. The Chiefs eventually lost to the Packers, 35-10, but McClinton's name became etched into the game's history.
He will return to Memorial Stadium on Saturday to have his name added to Kansas' Ring of Honor.
"Curtis McClinton was a terrific football player," said KU Athletics Director Lew Perkins. "But more importantly, he is a terrific person and a great representative of this university. We are thrilled to add him to the KU Ring of Honor."
McClinton will be recognized
as one of the greatest Kansas football players of all time by being inducted into the ring, joining the likes of Gale Sayers and John Hadle.
"It is a great honor." McClinton said. "I am really humbled by joining a select group of achievers."
McClinton was a running back for the Jayhawks and rushed for 1,377 yards, though he was used primarily as a blocking back.
His total rushing yards rank him 21st on the Jahawks' alltime rushing list. At 6-foot-3, 227 pounds, he was a punishing running back and blocker.
McClinton received numerous accolades while at the University.
He was named to The Sporting News All-America team in 1961, and he played in the 1961 East-West Shrine game, the 1961 Hula Bowl and the 1962 College All-Star game.
Though the Jayhawks were successful while he was on the team, his most vivid memories are from losses. McClinton specifically remembered two games, one

you remember. It's when you are clawing and scratching and you had given what you thought was your best."

against Syracuse University and one against Oklahoma, in which the Jayhawks were close to victory but unable follow through.
"It isn't always the reward of victory that you remember," McClinton said. "It's when you are clawing and scratching and you had given what you thought was your best."
McClinton also spent three years on the 'Hawks' track team, where he was a three-time Big 8 high hurdle champion.
drafted in the 14th round by the American Football League's Dallas Texans. He was named AFL Rookie of the Year with the Texans in 1962.
The team was later moved to Kansas City, and he scored the Chief's first-ever franchise touchdown, during the 1963 preseason.
In his professional football career, McClinton rushed for 3,124 yards and played in two AFL All-Star games. He played seven seasons with the Chiefs.
After his football years, he continued his education, receiving a master's from Central Michigan, a doctorate from Miles College and completing postgraduate work at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
His work at Harvard prepared him for his service as deputy mayor of Washington, D.C. While there, he worked on revitalizing the downtown area.
McClinton's time on the football field and track prepared him for a professional life. It taught him discipline and commitment, he said.

Women's soccer team to play tomorrow

The University of Tulsa football game isn't the only home opener for Kansas athletics this weekend.
The Kansas women's soccer team will play its first home game of the season tomorrow as it hosts the KUStore.com Crimson & Blue Invitational at the SuperTarget Field.
The soccer squad enters this weekend's tournament undefeated, after beating UNLV and Brigham Young University on its season opening road trip.
This year is only the fourth time that Kansas has opened the season with back-to-back wins, and coach Mark Francis said the
team did a lot of things well last week, but there is still work to be done.
"It's always nice to win the first weekend," said Francis. "But there are some things that we didn't do so well, and hopefully we'll see some improvements in tomorrow's game and continue to improve week to week."
The four-team tournament will be played tomorrow and Sunday with St. Louis University, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Mississippi State visiting campus.
"
Kansas will start the tournament against Wisconsin-
Milwaukee at 5 p.m. tomorrow and finish up the tournament with a game against St. Louis on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
St. Louis and Mississippi will
t's always nice to win the first weekend."
Mark Francis Kansas soccer coach
face each other tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., and on Sunday, Mississippi State and Wisconsin-Milwaukee take the field at 12 p.m.
Kansas has experience with its two opponents. The Jayhawks have faced off against St. Louis twice in the past four years, and they defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee last season.
"We've got scouting reports for both teams and know a little of what to expect," Francis said today. "We did some things

'Late bloomer' Haynes takes off at U.S. Open
NEW YORK — As a tot, Angela Haynes hit her first tennis strokes on the same Compton courts that produced Serena and Venus Williams.
Now 19 and ranked 185th, Haynes tasted her first bit of the Grand Slam success so familiar to the Williams sisters, upsetting 22nd-seeded Magdalena Maleeva 6-2, 6-3 to reach the U.S. Open's third round last night.
"Everybody peaks at different times, so maybe I am a late bloomer," said Haynes, a wild card. "But I just have to stay within myself, play my game, do what I do best."
The third day of the Open included just-as-expected victo
ries by past major champions Lieptian Hewitt and Nierli Capriati, and none-too-surprising exits by Gustavo Kuerten and Mark Philippoussis, Haynes got a chance in the spotlight.
She lost in the first round of last year's Open, then lost in the first round of qualifying at the Australian Open in January. That was the sum of Haynes' Slam experience until Monday, when she beat Tatiana Perebiynis in a third-set tiebreaker.
Haynes handled Maleea quite impressively in the 6,106-seat Grandstand, the largest arena she's played in, hanging tough even after wasting three match points. Haynes never lost her serve, and kept her unforced errors to a minimum: 14 in all.

Some things are best kept private within the family. Set up that policy if you haven't already, and you can get the inside story on what happened.
Ask questions of people who have the skills and experience you lack. The learning part is enjoyable, but you'd better pay attention.

DORSEY: KU good experience CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
I've never been to a frit party. I wonder what they're like — how do you do that?
In five to 10 years I hope to be successful in a job that I love to go to every morning when I wake up — possibly married, kids maybe. I love kids. That would be awesome, and playing any kind of sports that my body will allow me.
My ideal job would be anything involving sports, especially working with a professional team doing community and play relations.
One of my best friends from high school had to go to Iraq for a year and a half. I've heard that it's tough for all the soldiers that went there and I sympathize with them. A soldier from Wellsville was actually the first Kansan to lose his life in battle. Knowing him and his family gives me a different viewpoint of our government.
I trust the government and I trust the president so I have to stand behind that, but, on the other hand, I know the stories of the soldiers and their families.
■ My motto is "Carpe diem." I have it up in my room. And also "Live, love and laugh."
■ College has changed me for the better, for sure. I've grown as a person in many aspects of life, and I have another crazy year ahead of me for sure — a scary year, to have to find a job in Mau-
I'm a Catholic, born and raised a Catholic. I've always loved Notre Dame and if would have had the opportunity to go there I would have. I'll be Catholic all my life and I'll raise my kids that way.
Every religion has its positives and negatives. If you are a follower of God I'm not going to hold anything against you.
Dorsey and her teammates will be in action this weekend as part of the Oral Roberts Tournament in Tulsa, Okla.

DEFEAT: Blocker helps with Jayhawk victory
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18
She was second on the team with 12 digs.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey contributed 18 digs.
Five of Lima's kills came in the first half of game one, but it was her serving that finished off the Razorbacks. With the score 28-20, she unloaded two consecutive aces to end the set.
Earlier in the match, Andi Rozum had back-to-back aces as well.
But the Kansas serving would not remain so airtight.
Game two brought four service errors and several attack errors as Arkansas stayed close until the last point.
Though she did not start until the final game, senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels played most of the set and scored several important kills when the Razorbacks closed the gap. A midgame kill made the score 16-14, and Arkansas would not lead again.
Kansas was ahead for most of game four, but led just 26-24 late in the game after a rally.
Michael's fourth kill ended the game in a 30-26 Kansas victory.
The defense came alive for Arkansas in the third game, as they notched four blocks, including a game-winner by Jessica Dorrell on freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown. Dorrell led Arkansas with 15 kills during the night.
Kansas was ahead for most of game four, but led just 26-24 late in the game after a rally. Arkansas rallied from a six-point deficit. After notching two consecutive kills, Lima found herself on the baseline where, in familiar fashion, she landed back-to-back aces to seal the game.
Most exciting for Bechard was his team's seemingly improved blocking, he said. Kansas finished 11th in the Big 12 Conference in blocking last season but blocked 14 attempts yesterday.
The Jayhawks travel straight from Fayetteville to Tulsa, Okla., today for the Oral Roberts tournament. They will face Loyola-Chicago tomorrow before meeting North Texas and Oral Roberts in a Saturday doubleheader.

At today's session, the Athletics Department will show a highlight video of last year's soccer team and pass out schedules for this season.
The Athletics Department hopes that the popularity of all women's sports at Kansas, not just soccer and volleyball, will increase with the creation of this program.
"We have great athletic teams at KU with longstanding traditions and it's great to share those successes and traditions with the whole KU community. We are really lucky to have a great athletic staff and great coaches who are vested in all students at the University." Gresnick said.

Preseason basketball to be shown before opening football game
The football season opener against Tulsa isn't the only game that can be seen at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The Kansas men's basketball game against the British Columbia will be shown on the stadium MegaVision
The stadium will open at 1 p.m and the basketball game will start at 2 p.m.
before the 6 p.m. kick off.
The ticket office will open at 11 a.m.
Anyone with a ticket to the football game can get into the stadium at 1 p.m.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the athletic department wanted to give fans their money's worth and a opportunity to watch both athletic events.
"Our thought was to give added value to people who bought football tickets," he said.
Marchiony said this was the first time an event like this had happened.
"We have never shown a preseason basketball game before a football season opener," he said.
Memorial Stadium is the only place in the nation that the basketball game will be shown, but most students said they didn't know the game was going to be aired at the stadium.

Amy Adams, Hays sophomore, Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., senior, Karen Bentley, Lawrence freshman, Elizabeth Roybal, Andover sophomore, and Justin Green, Plano, Texas, sophomore, react while watching President George W. Bush accept the his party's presidential nomination. Last night marked the end of the four-day Republican National Convention in New York.
It was the Kansas Republican Party informing him that he had been selected as an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention in New York, which began on Tuesday.
"It's just exciting to see how it all comes together," said the third-year law student from Pratt.
Robert W. Quach/KANSAN
As the convention came to a close last night, Lenkner and other KU students reacted to the speeches and the convention. President George W. Bush gave a speech highlighting his future plans if he were re-elected.
The KU College Republicans held a party last night to watch the president's speech as a group. The crowd gathered in the apartment of Josh Steward, the organization's vice president. They reacted to Bush's speech with applause, laughter, nods of approval and even cries of "Props to you. G-Dub!"
Bush spoke about improving Medicare for seniors and gave specific examples of actions he would take if given the chance to
serve again as president. Among these were funding community colleges around the nation and making his tax cuts permanent and decreasing federal spending:
"We've been here since 6 p.m., and the
televisions haven't left Fox News," said Justin McFarland, Lenexa senior and president of the KU College Republicans.

Campus bikes stolen, abused
This seamless yellow bike is one of three in front of the Kansas Union from the yellow bike program. The program is experiencing setbacks because the bicycles are being vandalized.

KANSAN STAFF WINTER

All that remains of the University of Kansas' yellow bike program are seven bikes and, of those, only three have seats. Since the program began in Spring 2003 most of the bikes have been destroyed or stolen.
The bike program didn't work because the students who used the program didn't take care of the bikes, said Antonio Querasian, president of the bike program.
Querasian said he wanted to coordinate the bike program because he said it was useful to students. He compared the bike program to a moving walkway at an airport. The bikes would cut time walking to class in half with the bikes, he said.
With few of the 30 original bikes remaining, the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, junior, said he didn't think the program would be useful to many other students anymore. Queriasan said he still used the yellow bikes to get around on campus though.
Querasian said he had plans to resurrect the bike program but he was hesitant to ask Student Senate to invest more money in it.
"Nobody wants to have a bike that doesn't have a seat." Querasian said.
Querasian said he tried to jump start the program during the summer and restored 10 of the bikes. He also attempted to find people to help him coordinate the program but hadn't found any interested volunteers yet.
going to be efficient."
Student Senate originally initiated the bike program, officially called YELLOW, which is Young Elected Leaders Lending Out Wheels. A community bike program was part of KUnited's platform in the Spring 2002 election.
"I'm an economical guy," he said. "I don't like to spend money when it isn't
The program started with high hopes. Kyle Johnson, who spearheaded the bike program, said 25 to 50 students used the program at its peak. Johnson said a community bike program had been attempted in the 1980s but had not been successful.
"After three days, the bikes were gone," Johnson said. "Being realistic, people are going to be juvenile."
Because the program lasted through a semester, Jeff Dunlap, who used to be a

Lawrence bars host alternative lifestyle nights, but you don't have to have an alternative lifestyle to enjoy yourself, said Moser, who is straight.
Looking around the crowd at alternative lifestyle night at Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, Angela Moser didn't notice any major differences.
"I don't think the crowds really act different," the Lenexa junior said. "For college students, it doesn't really matter."
Because of the diverse community in Lawrence, some queers and straightls said they could enjoy nights on the town in safe, friendly environments.
Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's, 11 E. Eighth St., said alternative lifestyle nights in other towns might be bad for business, but not in Lawrence.
He said even closeted Lawrence residents didn't feel out of place at Henry's alternative lifestyle night on Tuesdays. He said because of the diverse community in Lawrence, even closeted patrons didn't have to worry about being tagged with a label or being ostracized.
"It's just a reflection of what life is really like," Boulter said. "It's a place to meet people on a different level."
Moser said she actually had a better time on alternative lifestyle nights.
Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, 806 W. 24th St., provides a different atmosphere on Wednesdays. It offers insight into queer culture by featuring drag shows that KU students may not be able to see anywhere else.
"You're not trying to impress anybody," Moser said. "You're just there to have a good time."
Moser enjoys drag shows because they're something she doesn't see every day, but said she realized they may promote negative stereotypes.
"People associate drag shows with gay people," Moser said, "But that's not necessarily always the case."

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Residents and tourists in cars, trucks and campers clogged highways Thursday in the biggest evacuation ever ordered in Florida, fleeing inland as mighty Hurricane Frances threatened the state with its second battering in three weeks.

About 2.5 million residents were told to clear out ahead of what could be the most powerful storm to hit Florida in a decade.

Other people in the 300-mile stretch covered by the hurricane warning rushed to fortify their homes with plywood and storm shutters, and buy water, gas and canned food.

Hundredsfreed from school astalks in Russia come to halt
BESLAN, Russia — Camouflage-clad commandos carried crying babies away from a school where gunmen holding hundreds of hostages freed at least 26 women and children Thursday during a second day of high drama that kept crowds of distraught relatives on edge.
Men and women wept with disappointment or hugged each other with relief as a man read the names of the freed hostages over a loudspeaker.

Some of the toddlers released were naked, apparently because of the stifling heat in the school, where the hostage-takers refused to allow authorities to deliver water, food and medicine for the captives.

School receives state funds for Dissertation Fellowships The KU Graduate School
announced Monday that it awarded $14,000 in addition to tuition and other campus fees to six students as Dissertation Fellowships.
Amanda O'Toole
The money is allocated from the State of Kansas, said Alison Watkins communications director.
Students had to submit proposals to a committee comprised of faculty and explain how and why the money would help complete the degree faster. Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school, said the amount of time to complete a dissertation depends on the amount of discipline students apply. Some students take years to complete a dissertation.
"This allows them to work on their dissertation without having to teach or to be an RA or if they're doing that, to do it half tim," Carlin said. "It gives them financial support to concentrate on their dissertation."
Professor earns $5,000 award forgot she was nominated
Winifred Dunn, allied health professor, forgot that her students had nominated her for the Kemper Award last Spring.
She said it was hard to concentrate on her Applied Neuroscience class after Chancellor Robert Hemenway presented her with the $5,000 award Wednesday.
Dunn said she would use the money to buy something memorable while she is on her honeymoon in Maui in two weeks.
Dunn said she appreciated the students and faculty who nominated her as well as the Kemper family for making teaching visible.
Dunn has served as chairwoman of occupational therapy education since 1986.

Group needs $45,000 for house
Campus Habitat plans for its first solo project
BY NIKLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANAN STaff WRITE
For the first time, the University of Kansas chapter of Habitat for Humanity will build its own house — called the 'Hawk House — for a Lawrence family. But it takes a lot of money to build a house, and the organization needs $55,000 to make the house a reality.
The KU Habitat for Humanity, which began in 1990, is a chapter of the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is an international program that builds houses for those in need through volunteer labor and donations.
The chapter has $10,000 for the 'Hawk House but needs $45,000 to pay for the house that volunteers are scheduled to build this spring.
"If every student could give a dollar or two, we would have it," said Linda Klinker, project manager for the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity.
Last year for the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity's house
the KU chapter raised more than $4,000 from local businesses.
Patrick Lowe, Evanston Ill., senior and KU Habitat for Humanity president, said the KU chapter has already surpassed that total from local businesses this year. Yesterday, Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., gave the organization a $1,000 grant.
Money for the KU group's house has also come from fundraising.
Every year the University competes with Kansas State to see which school can collect the most aluminum cans during the Kansas vs. Kansas State football game on Oct. 9 for an estimated prize of $5,000.
The group wants to hold a fundraising concert. Lowe said chapter members were trying to book a band such as O.A.R. or a performer such as Ben Folds'. A concert for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity last year at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., raised $25,000.
University groups have given money. Last year Student Senate allocated $431 to the chapter. Lowe said he hoped Senate would give again.
"I think its great to have other student organizations' support." Lowe said.
While much of the chapter's focus is on raising money, it is

only one part of the equation. The group needs volunteers as well.
Lowe said Habitat for Humanity was something students could participate in and quickly see results.
"With any service organization where you get to help out the community you're able to see the difference of your work," Lowe said.
Habitat houses are built with homeowner and volunteer assistance. The organization sells the houses at no profit with no-interest loans.
Homeowners make monthly payments of $400, which helps finance future houses.
The program has expanded the number of countries it serves from 89 in 2003 to 100. Habitat has housed more than 750,000 people in 3,000 different communities.
In Lawrence, the average cost of a Habitat house is $43,000. Through this year, the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity has housed 55 families.
While there are still challenges to face, Klinker said she felt this was the year for the KU group.
Klinker said that three families had been picked to receive Habitat houses this year. Families are chosen by the family selection committee who review the applications and determine which families qualify by the greatest need.
The Lawrence organization's site selection committee is negotiating the site for the Hawk House.
"It's really becoming a reality, and I'm so proud of them," Klinker said.
Qualified employees can make overtime
BY DREW WEDEL
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAK
— Edited by Anna Clovis
Qualified University of Kansas employees may be able to benefit from overtime payroll because of the updated Overtime Security Rule, said Ola Faucher, director of human resources.
The new overtime rule under the Fair Labor Standards Act went into effect Aug. 23 and may affect 22 KU employees who are now eligible to earn overtime pay, Faucher said.
Nationwide, about 1.3 million employees under the minimum salary level of $23,660 per year or $455 per week are now eligible to earn overtime pay that they previously could not, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
"The rule will probably have a minimal financial effect on the University. It may not have any impact. It all depends on whether the employees effected decide to work over 40 hours a week or not." Faucher said.
The University will not release the names of the employees effected by the rule change because salary changes are confidential actions, Faucher said. The effected employees were unclassified staff members,
which consisted of primarily part-time workers. Faucher said that no group of employees was affected more than any other group.
The University sent letters to the 22 employees who were affected a week before the changes occurred. The University also asked managers to speak to their employees who were affected by these changes.
"In the past, I have not had the option to earn overtime pay, but I hope I am eligible for overtime due to the rule change," he said.
Dana Evans, facilities operations staff member, heard about the new overtime rule on the news. Evans was unsure if he would qualify under the new regulations, because he was not notified by the University.
The rule change also said that employees who made more than $100,000 a year would lose the right to earn overtime pay, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Faucher said that no University employee would be affected by this rule.
The updated overtime rule is the first major alteration in more than half of a century to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

inmate backlog blamed on budget cuts, growth
LARNED — State budget cuts and the growth of the sexual-predator unit at Larned State Hospital are blamed for a backlog of about 50 inmates waiting for admission to the mental health facility.
About half of the inmates on the waiting list need court-ordered evaluations to determine whether they are competent to stand trial, as well as for
an array of other reasons. The other inmates need mental health treatment, said Mark Schutter, superintendent of Larned State Hospital.
The backlog comes as the hospital's security program has lost 40 beds within the last couple years, Schutter said. About 30 beds were lost because of state budget cuts. Another 10 beds were lost because of growth at the sexual predator unit, which houses more than 100 sex offenders undergoing long-term care and treatment.
250 beds is finished next spring. The hospital security program currently has 124 beds. But for the new building to reach capacity staff would need to be added, and funding for the new staff has not yet been approved Schutter said.
Relief could come when a new building with a capacity of

WICHITA — A former bagage screener at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport has been accused of stealing money from a passenger's luggage.

Chad Butler, 33, of Wichita, was indicted last week by a federal grand jury on one count of theft by an airport screener, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren announced
Butler, who worked for the Transportation Security Administration, is accused of stealing about $500 from the baggage of a Delta Airlines passenger on June 16. If convicted he could face up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine.

CD censorship does little to protect Kansas citizens
An open letter to Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline:
Life for Kansas' music lovers had been looking grim.
First, anyone who has purchased a CD in the last several years received money from a settlement against record companies accused of practicing price-fixing. Then the state's public libraries received thousands of CDs so popular that their availability might actually induce teenagers to utilize these institutions for pleasure as well as schoolwork.
But then you came to the rescue, alleviating the suffering of your music-loving constituency. You understood that a library filled with CDs other than Ted Nugent and Celine Dion had no practical place in a state filled with nothing but middle-aged conservative WASPs. What is the point of a public library if not to reflect through its reading and multimedia materials the parochial beliefs of a fraction of its patrons?
You were elected by a mandate to shield the people of Kansas from the delicious pop lyrics of OutKast, and you, sir, did not disappoint. Imagine what could happen to a state more interested in shaking it "like a Polaroid picture" than protecting its borders against the pervasive threat of a terrorist cell.
There was widespread concern that, because the Board of Education reversed its decision banning the teaching of evolution, Kansas would be viewed as a state who did not govern according to Christian morals. Clearly our fears were unfounded. Your valiant defense of your personal beliefs protects us all from lyrics dealing with spousal abuse, drugs, gang violence, and many others things that do not affect civilized, morally upright Kansans.
One cannot help but wonder if the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" impacted the list of CDs you chose to ban. It is a line of reasoning that certainly makes sense—if citizens can be shielded from lyrics about wife beaters, domestic violence will never touch Kansas families. And if sexually-explicit phrases are kept from the ears of teens, abstinence-only sex education will finally realize its full, glorious potential.
So thank you, Phill Kline, for banning those CDs. Your heroic actions ensure that Kansas is once again safe from the respect of the nation and the bothersome task of upholding the guarantees of the First Amendment. Thanks to you, Phill, censorship no longer belongs exclusively to fascist states. We can't wait for the book-burnings to start.

Kline criticism not based on facts
When Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline removed 1,600 CDs from a shipment of 51,000 free CDs intended for Kansas' public libraries, two terms in particular surfaced to describe Kline's shenanigans: ban and censor.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Advocates of "free expression" claim that Kline banned these 1,600 CDs from public libraries and censored the artists that created them.
In reality, the concept of free expression gives musicians the right to produce CDs promoting anything — including drugs and violence — without fear of governmental backlash. The concept of free expression does not give the government the obligation to distribute those CDs.
Kline did not keep those artists from expressing themselves. He did not keep consumers from purchasing those CDs, and he did not keep the libraries from making those CDs available to the public. He just did not give the libraries those CDs.
"I'm not going to libraries and pulling things off the shelves," Kline told The Kansas City Star.

He added, "I will defend people's right to speak it. I will defend the libraries' right to buy it. But this office won't approve it."

Kline. To use terms such as "censor" and "ban" when referring to Kline's actions is dishonest.
If you believe Kline is censoring those artists, you should battle other blatant acts of censorship as well. In all my years of schooling, I have never received a copy of the Ten Commandments from any of my teachers. They were censoring Christianity, censoring Moses and maybe even censoring God.
Ridiculous? Of course.
Regardless of whether Kline has CDs containing references to drugs and violence, it isn't his responsibility to give anyone — libraries or consumers — those CDs just because he can. Does

that constitute censorship? No, it constitutes discernment, and any good public official knows how important that is.
Many have been condemning Kline's actions based on the First Amendment. A quick reading of the First Amendment gives nothing to suggest that Kline is responsible for distributing vulgar CDs to libraries.
vulgar CDs to notices. Condemning a government official for not distributing vulgarity based on the First Amendment is no different than condemning a government official for not distributing guns based on the Second Amendment or not distributing alcohol based on the 21st amendment. Just because the Constitution gives individuals certain rights doesn't mean the government should make sure we exercise them.
In removing questionable CDs from library shipments, Kline's office made a judgement call that it had every right to make. Nothing was censored and nothing was banned. We should save those words for when civil liberties are really threatened.
If you want to hear Cypress Hill rap about robbing and killing people, go buy the CD. Don't expect the government to bring it to your local public library.

Make campus comfortable for all
Every year, the University of Kansas becomes home to thousands of new students from all around Kansas, the country and the world. These new students are learning how to find their way around campus, the names of all the buildings and the fastest way to get from one place to another. Many students get their first opportunity to do this during summer orientation, but the fall campus with returning students can look completely different.
The best way to ease the transition into life as a student here is for established students to answer questions, give directions, and start or participate in random conversations on the bus, on Wescoe beach, or the hallways of Fraser.
COMMENTARY
SARA ZAFAR
opinion@kansan.com
Wherever these conversations may take place, it is important for upper-classmen to take the time to acclimate others to life on campus. The last thing new students need is to feel like their questions are silly, unimportant or an inconvenience.
Everyone started out as a new student at some point or another, even if it seems like ages ago. It's hard to fathom that at one time, you didn't know where Blake Hall was (behind Fraser Hall), or why Snow Hall smells like mothballs (because of the insect collections). People who are new to campus want to know what's going on and how to feel the most at ease while studying
here. Everyone — new student or "super senior" — hopes that friendly people with helpful advice will help them navigate the sometimes confusing KU campus.
Despite all the services available to new students, however, the best way for
There are several services designed to help students learn about campus and the various events that take place each day. KUInfo — 864-3506 — is one such service, answering any and all questions that students may have. They have the phone numbers for every pizza place in town memorized, and field questions about athletic events, movie times, and pool hours at Robinson Gymnasium, as well as the more obscure how many babies a kangaroo can have. Traditions Night during Hawk Week serves to teach incoming students about the history and pride of the University of Kansas, teaching them the chants and cheers known to almost every student.
them to feel like a part of the community is for those already in the community to make them feel welcome. This means, no matter how many times you have heard the same question (yes, all busses run to campus first), answer it to the best of your knowledge. Everyone eventually learns the way the University works, that you had better park in the proper parking lots, and that the rivalry with a university about three hours to the east is completely legitimate.
New students should take the initiative to find out about classes, campus and the city of Lawrence, but they should not always have to face something so big and new by themselves. True, part of the process is going it alone, but everyone has to learn sometime, and it was always better when someone more experienced is helping out.
Although it is certainly not an obligation to help new students find their way, it is always a nice gesture, and the person you help will appreciate it. Some people may not look forward to the start of a new semester because of all the people who don't know where they are going. But think of it as an opportunity to show them the better side of the University of Kansas, and why their choice to come here is one of the best decisions they have made.

BIKES: One successful semester
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Young Elected Leaders Lending Out Wheels. A community bike program was part of KUnited's platform in the Spring 2002 election. The program started with high hopes. Kyle Johnson, who spearheaded the bike program, said 25 to 50 students used the program at its peak. Johnson said a community bike program had been attempted in the 1980s but had not been successful.
"After three days, the bikes were gone," Johnson said. "Being realistic, people are going to be juvenile."
Because the program lasted through a semester, Jeff Dunlap, who used to be a member of the program, said he considered the program a success compared to previous attempts. Dunlap, student body vice president, said the program was reliable in the beginning because a bike was almost always available.
The bike program's purpose was to provide a convenient and inexpensive mode of on-campus transportation instead of walking or riding the bus. The yellow bike
program gave students a bike and a universal lock and key for a one-time cost of $10. The bikes are restricted to on-campus use only. Members of the bike program leave the bikes in bike racks anywhere on campus, and the keys open any of the locks for the yellow bikes.
bikes, covered in the identifying yellow electrical tape, sits amid the other bikes locked up in front of McColllum. Few students at McCollum had heard of the yellow bike program.
Student Senate allocated $6,240 to the program in Spring 2003. The money funded bikes from Target at $59.99 each, locks, decals, a pump and electrical tape. The program also had a partnership with Sunflower Bike Shop to repair the bikes at a reduced cost.
"I've never seen it advertised," said Erin McMillan, McColum resident assistant.
McMillan, an Olathe junior,
said she knew freshmen who
would be interested in using the
bike program if it is restarted.
One of the remaining yellow
Dunlap said he became dispirited with the program when bikes started to disappear. He said he had faith that the students who signed up to use the program would take care of the bikes.
"It's a lesson learned against blind idealism." he said.
Both Dunlap and Johnson said the program needed to be restructured, though not in its current form.
The yellow bike program in Portland, Ore., began as a similar program to the University's, but in 1994 restructured the program because of bike abuse problems.
"The program can be a success, but it takes a lot of work," Johnson said.

idea because basketball is so popular here," Kizer said.
Men's basketball coach Bill Self, who coached at Tulsa from 1998-2000, said he was excited that the fans would have a chance to see his team's first game.
"It amazes me continually to see the interest in what goes on with the Kansas basketball program within our athletic department," he said.
Self said he fans should come early to watch the basketball game and stay to cheer on the football team.
"I hope this is something that adds to the hype and excitement of the day, because this is certainly their day," he said, referring to the football team.
Some students said they would watch the basketball game first, then go to a tailgate party and come back for the football game.

James Stroh, Olathe sophomore, said he didn't know anything about it but said it was a great idea to show the basketball game before the football game.

"I hope students take advantage of this opportunity," Marchiony said. "This is a unique experience and I want our fans to enjoy it."

Go with Kansas, K-State and Mizzou this weekend
Did you find it? What, Kick the Kansan did not make Monday's paper? Well, all I can sav is. ITS NOT MY FAULT.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
SPORTS COMMUNITY
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
At any rate, that little electronic safnu will not in any way affect the quality of my selections. So, without further ado, Round One of Kick the Kansan starts now:
Kansas vs. Tulsa
If there was ever a "must-win" game, this is it for Kansas. The schedule does not get easier. Tulsa boasts an experienced quarterback as well as a promising running back who sat out last season with an injury. For Kansas, the key will be how much the defense has improved, and how young quarterback Adam Barmann can take over the offense. If the offense is as improved as Barmann thinks, this will be a Kansas victory.
Pick: Kansas
Ohio State vs. Cincinnati
Ohio State's strength this year will be its defense. The team's linebackers are the best of the Big Ten, and the rest of the defense is more than capable of pulling its weight. Ohio State has questions about its running back and a new quarterback, but Cincinnati cannot stop them. The Bearcats are solid on defense and have a great offense.
Unfortunately, the best of Conference-USA is not enough to tackle a legitimate Big Ten contender.
UCLA vs. Oklahoma State
Michigan vs. Miami of Ohio
Neither of these teams will excel on the gridiron this year. Oklahoma State lost a couple key players to the NFL draft with Rashaun Woods and Tatum Bell leaving. Oklahoma State's defense is solid, but its offense is full of questions. On top of Woods and Bell, the team also lost quarterback Josh Fields to major league baseball. UCLA lost the heart of its defense and returns most of a bad offense.
Michigan returns six starters on each side of the ball from last year's Big Ten championship team. The six offensive returners do not include a quarterback, however. Miami of Ohio dominated the Mid-American Conference last season behind quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. With his departure, however, Miami of Ohio will not dominate again. Miami of Ohio still has a chance at a MAC title, but it won't beat the Michigan anytime soon.
Pick: Michigan
This year will decide whether Connecticut and all the Big East have been set adrift by the departure of Miami and Virginia Tech to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Connecticut will play a complete Big East schedule for the first time and must win if it wants a bowl. Hometown-hero Dan Orlovsky starts at quarterback. The rising team should have no problem with Division I-AA Murray State.
Connecticut vs. Murray State
Only five starters return to an Air Force team that started last season 5-0 before slowing to a 2-5 finish. That finish pushed the team into fourth place in the Mountain West. Cal, on the other hand, returns the core of last year's starters, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The team also returns its three starting linebackers. Air Force will be
Pick: UCONN
Air Force vs. California
plain overmatched.
NC State vs. Richmond
Kansas fans should have bad blood with both these teams. Football fans will remember the drubbing the Jayhawks received last year at the hands of Philip River's N.C. State, while basketball fans will remember Richmond sneaking past Kansas last season at Allen Fieldhouse. Richmond, of the Atlantic-10, is a Division-I AA school, and has a first-year head coach in Dave Clawson. Divison I A N.C. State, even without Rivers, will smash Richmond.
Pick: NC State
At first glance, this game would seem to go clearly to Ole Miss, especially with the return of a talented offensive line and a couple of receivers. Two words about that: Eli Manning. The loss of last year's star quarterback will be devastating for Ole Miss. Memphis looks to be the class of Conference USA. It returns five defensive starters from last year and all 11 of its offensive starters. Running back DeAngelo Williams owns the single-season rushing record.
Ole Miss vs. Memphis
Pick: Memphis
Bill Snyder's Wildcats lost quarterback Ell Roberson for this year, however they still have a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate in Darren Sproles. Division-I AA Western Kentucky has made four straight playoff appearances, but will wilt in front of Big 12 power K-State. This is easy.
Kansas State vs. Western Kentucky
Pick: K-State
Oklahoma vs. Bowling Green
Four words describe why Oklahoma will dominate Bowling Green: Jason White, Heisman Trophy. After last season's 12-0 start, the Sooners lost two straight. They still, however, return eight offensive starters, including quarterback Jason White, and seven on defense to a team that dominated for twelve weeks. Bowling Green returns 17, but quarterback Josh Harris is not among them.
Pick: Oklahoma
If you poll the media, many people think Missouri's going to win the Big 12 North. I'm not sold on that, but I am sold on Brad Smith, the Missouri's quarterback. A Heisman candidate, he will propel his team forward through this game. Arkansas State is fairly young, and much of last year's relatively strong defense is gone. Seven players
Missouri vs. Arkansas State
return on offense, but that will not be enough.
Maryland vs. Northern Illinois
Pick: Northern Illinois
Pick: Missouri
Big upset no. 2 is going to be Northern Illinois over Maryland. Last season, Maryland won 10 games for a third straight season, but still lost to Northern Illinois 20-13. Granted, this year's game is at home for Maryland, so it could be easier, but I still give the nod to the Northern Illinois. Returning 13 starters overall, it still may be a stretch with the loss of a talented senior class.
Washington University (St. Louis) vs.
Mount Union
The Purple Raiders of Mount Union are owners of a 55-game winning streak, which includes trips to the D-III championship in every year since 2000. It returns a combined eleven starters on both sides of the ball. Washington will have a solid team this year, however it's going to have a hard time beating a 55 consecutive-game winner. Washington will win its conference, but the team is not going to win its home opener.
Pick: Mount Union

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
The Dec. 22, 2003, trip to the Tangerine Bowl was a drastic improvement over the previous season's 2-10 record — even though NC State won 56-26.
Editor's note: To mark the Kansan's 100th year of publication, Kansan sportswriter Paul Brand will take a look at the "Top 10s" of Kansas sports.
Is winning important? Does personal achievement on the gridiron matter? Will Kansas football be notable in the future? Is defeating Missouri essential? Is "Blue Wings Rising" the most consequential marketing campaign since light-up shoes?
Some of these answers are more obvious than others, but significance is truly all relative. That said, here is a definite list of the 10 most important games in Kansas football history.
10. Dec. 25, 1992 vs. Brigham Young:
9. Dec. 22, 2003 vs. NC State:
Kansas celebrated Christmas with a 23-10 victory over Brigham Young. This marked the first bowl victory for Kansas in 31 years and resulted in a Top-25 ranking to end the year. Future NFL stars Dana Stubblefield and Gilbert Brown led a smothering defense that held the Brigham Young air attack in check.
The 56-26 Tangerine Bowl loss to the Wolfpack marked the first bowl game of the Mangino era. Although the loss to Philip Rivers and his teammates ended Kansas' season on a bad note, it was a remarkable improvement over the 2022's 1-21 record and left this year's team hungry. Let's hope that hunger will result in feast instead of famine.
8. Nov. 23, 1991 vs. Missouri:
On this glorious fall afternoon running back "Tuxedo" Tony Sands ran circles around
7. Jan, 1, 1948 vs. Georgia Tech:
Missouri's defense in a 53-29 drubbing. Sands was so good and Missouri so bad that "Tuxedo" set the NCAA record rushing for 396 yards on 58 carries. He was later named Big Eight offensive player of the year.
Nearly 58 years after the start of the Kansas football program, the team debuted in its first bowl game, albeit in disappointing fashion. Regardless of the loss, Kansas finished the year ranked 12th and produced the program's first two All Americans. 6. Sept. 13, 1997 vs. Missouri:
Not only was this 15-7 victory another notch in Kansas' belt of the ongoing border war, but it was a milestone 500th victory for Kansas. The game was Terry Allen's first conference victory and proved to be the highest point of his Kansas career. For the Jayhawks, it proved again their superiority over the Tigers. 5. Nov. 13, 1920 vs. Nebraska:
versus Nebraska, Kansas quickly fell behind and trailed 20-0 at half-time. Phog Allen, in his only year as football coach, engineered a comeback to shut out Nebraska in the second half and salvage a tie. The tie produced such a buzz that the celebration lasted until Monday. During the festivities, fervent fans gathered $200,000 in donations, which helped fund the building of Memorial Stadium.
A Nov 23, 1912 vs. Missouri;
As is usually the case in games
4. Nov. 23, 1912 vs. Missouri:
In the first Homecoming game in Kansas history, Kansas fans observed the most timeless tradition of all — watching Missouri lose. On this day of the season finale, Kansas came out on top 12-3. Homecoming has been played every year since 1912, with the exception of 1918 when the flu ravaged the Midwest and caused the cancelation of the game.
3 Nov. 1960 vs. Missouri:
With a 23-7 victory, Kansas proved that the only thing better than beating Missouri in Lawrence is humiliating the team
in Columbia. Coming into the game, Missouri was the top-ranked team in the NCAA. After an hour on the gridiron, Kansas knocked Missouri off its perch and the secured their first and only win over a top-ranked team.
2. Oct 29, 1921 vs. Kansas State:
Less than a year after raising money to build it, Memorial stadium saw its first action as Kansas defeated Kansas State 21-7. Although the Stadium had a capacity of 22,000, only 5,160 Kansas faithful saw the debut game in the stadium that still holds strong.
1. Dec. 8, 1890 vs. Baker:
The beginning. Avenging a Nov. 22 loss; Kansas recorded its first victory in program history, 14-12. This old-school, 19th-century team did not have an impressive schedule — the team's only other game was against the Kansas City YMCA — nor a coach, but it was the first. It was the original.

Football Preview

Jayhawks, Golden Hurricane reviewed for game
KANSAS
7
Quarterbacks: The quarter back position is going to be a big question mark for Kansas this season. Sophomore Adam Barmann has to replace last year's starter Bill Whittimore. Barmann did make a couple of spot-starts in place of injured Whittimore last season.
Tula, on the other hand, has experienced senior James Kilian at the helm. Last season, Kilian wracked up Tula's single-season passing record for 2,217 yards, while rushing for another 605. He also accounted for 29 of the team's touchdowns. In terms of total offense, he is just 86 yards short of 10th place on the all-time Tula list.
Kilian is a proven start; Barmann is an unknown quantity. Edge: Tulsa
Offensive line: The offensive line is an often overlooked quantity in the performance of a football team. But Kansas brings back quality and experience this year. Anchored by senior Joe Vaughn at center, Big 12 offensive newcomer of the year, the Jayhawks can rely on their front five. In addition to Vaughn, sophomore Bob Whitaker and senior Tony Coker started last year. Coker is injured, however, and will not play this weekend.
Tulaa also returns three starters with junior guard Jesse Stoneham, sophomore tackle Jeff Perett and senior center Derek Warehime. While they are experienced, the accolades have not come quite as quickly for the Tulaa squad.
Edge: Kansas
Tight End: Like the wide receiver position, this one is easy. Tula has one of the best tight end's in college football with senior Caleb Blankenship. Blankenship had 33 catches for 387 yards last year with

For the Jayhawks, redshirt Derek Fine will start and was a standout high school player in Oklahoma.

Edge: Tulsa
Running backs: Granted Kilian will get his fair share of rushing yards. But don't expect junior running back Uril Parrish to do too much damage on the ground. Parrish's season ended prematurely last year when he was injured in Tulsa's ninth game. To that point he had more than 500 yards rushing with five touchdowns.
Kansas has two strong backs in junior Clark Green and sophomore John Randle. However, it has not been determined if Randle will play tomorrow because of disciplinary reasons. Even if Randle does not play, expect Green to have a good day on the ground, likely topping the 100-yard mark. If Barmann is struggling, Green's totals could be even higher. Because of Green's durability, Kansas should be successful running the football.
Edge: Kansas
Wide receiver: This position is completely lopsided in Kansas' favor, as Tulsa primarily uses their tight ends to haul in receptions. Look for the speedy junior Mark Simmons to haul in some big gains from Barmann tomorrow. Simmons racked up nearly 800 yards receiving on just 40 catches last year. The durable senior Brandon Rideau will be ready to
take passes across the middle for the Hawks. Last season's leading receiver. sonhomore
Sophomore Adam Barmann throws a pass during the third quarter of the game against Texas A&M Nov. 1, 2003. This season he is starting quarterback, replacing last year's starter Bill Whittlemore.
g receiver, sophomore Charles Gordon may see some time on offense, but that time will be limited as he is focusing primarily on defense this year. Running backs Green and Randle are able to catch passes out of the backfield. Also, safety turned wide receiver, sophomore Jonathan Lamb, will be out on sets with three wide receivers. Tulsa's leading receiver is s en i o r Montiese
Culton, who had 25 catch for 416 yards. He is the only wide out on the roster who had more than 300 yards receiving last year.
Edge: Kansas
Defensive line: Both the Jayhawks and the Golden Hurricane struggled in this phase of the game last season. Kansas allowed more than 412 yards of total offense last year while Tulsa allowed just less than 400. Tulsa is led by junior defensive end Brandon Lohr. Lohr had 45 tackles last season with one sack. After Lohr, the defense up front is pretty thin, as they are starting a true freshman at nose guard.
For the Jayhawks, senior David McMillan leads the way, as he had 31 tackles last season including three sacks. Kansas also returns senior Travis Watkins, who missed most of last season with an injury. With those two up front, the Kansas defensive line should have a better day than the inexperienced Tulsa squad. If Kansas wants to win this game, it needs to put pressure on Kilian and make sure he doesn't get outside the line to run downfield.
Edge: Kansas
Linebackers: Both Kansas and Tula bring impressive linebackers to the game this weekend. Kansas has three junior linebackers who were honored by All-Big 12 teams. Gabe Toomey was a third team selection, while Nick Reid and Banks Floodman were both honorable mentions. Toomey is on the watch-list for the Butkus award, and recorded 121 tackles last season.
Tulaa has its own group of power linebackers: Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year sophomore Nick Bunting and all-WAC second team senior Michael LeDet. Bunting had 79 tackles, including 13 in one game against SMU. Both teams rely on their linebackers, and neither has an advantage.
Edge: Tie
Secondary: In an effort to shore up a weak secondary, coach Mark Mangino took the extraordinary step of converting his star wide receiver, sophomore Charles Gordon, to a corner back. Senior Tony Stubbs and junior Rodney Fowler each recorded two picks last year, and return to the team. After giving up almost 30.5 points a game last season, the secondary should be better.
VOLKSWAGEN
Edge: Tulsa
Tulsa's secondary last year ranked 11th nationally in pass efficiency. Four of five starters from that group return this year, and combined they accounted for 256 tackles, 11 of 14 interceptions and 21 of 27 pass breakups notched by last year's group. Tulsa had a strong secondary last season, and with just one loss from last season, they will be strong again.
Special teams:
Kansas has one of its biggest advantages in special teams. With sopho-
season he is starting mores Gordon and Randle both ready to take punt returns, Kansas will be explosive off of punts. Kickoff return duty will be split between senior Gary Heaggans and Randle as well.
Tulsa's special teams are good, but nothing spectacular. They will do well, but, as far as advantage, there is no question. Even if Mangino keeps Randle off of the field because of offseason misbehavior, Kansas will still be very capable.
Edge: Kansas
Kicker: Kansas senior kicker Johnny Beck and Tulsa junior kicker Brad DeVault are similar. Both kickers were 9-16 in field goal opportunities and both missed a few extra points. So this
is a difficult decision to see who gets the edge. Both have strong legs as DeVault connected on a 49 and 48 yarder last season. Beck drilled a 51 yarder against Kansas State. Beck, who has had competition from redshift freshman Scott Webb, appears to be back in the form that turned heads during his freshman year. The competition has made him an even better kicker and Beck now knows that as soon as he struggles he will likely be replaced. With the home crowd, Beck gets the edge, as long as he doesn't struggle early, because if he does the fans will likely show their displeasure.
Edge: Kansas
Coaches: Kansas coach Mark Mangino and Tula coach Steve
Kragthorpe did monumental things last season. They both took their teams from the basement of their conference to bowl games. KraGThorpe did it in his first season at Tulsa, going from 1-11 to 8-5. Mangino took the Jayhawks from 2-10 to 6-7. Mangino and KraGThorpe have different styles offensively. Mangino is not afraid to throw deep, especially with Barmann and his strong arm. KraGThorpe, unlike Mangino utilizes his tight ends. Because both coaches made huge strides in turning their respective programs around, this one is a draw.

Today's Birthday (Sept. 3).
Today's birthday Sept. 9.
Set a juicy goal for yourself this year, and then enjoy it. Don't worry about how you'll make this happen. Picture it done, and plan your schedule backward from there to here.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 5.
The next few days should be good for bringing more money into your account. The bad news is this is not from the lottery. It's due to your own work _ the more meticulous, the better.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 9.
You're the original compassionate conservative even if you're a liberal. You care very much about others _ and also about making money go further. Teach somebody who obviously doesn't have a clue how to do the latter.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5.
There's no avoiding your domestic responsibilities. The pressure is mounting, but that's OK 'cause you're almost in the mood. Look forward to the challenge, or pretend you do.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8.
Your friends show up to give you support and not a moment too soon. Get the last assignment in writing before you go off to play, however.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
The possibilities for a bonus look good, due to work you've already done. You make even more if you follow through on promises you've made.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is an 8.
Start on your weekend early, if possible, once your assignment is done. You've worked long hours the past few days; you've earned some extra time off.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 4
Today is a 4.
Once you've agreed on the list,
the shopping trip will be fun.
Keep hunting until you get the
best deals so your money
stretches far enough.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8.
A person you know well, and sometimes disagree with, would
like to manage your activities for a while. This should be fascinating.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6.
---
You're expected to give the job your full attention even though you're not sure what you'll be paid, if anything. Don't even think about that. The job is its own reward.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 9.
Love's in the air, and conditions are good for commitment and drawing up plans. You're in the leadership position, but take your loved ones' desires into consideration.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 5.
Slow down and plan a quiet evening at home. Reassess your resources and enjoy what you've accomplished.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8.
If there's anything you're not quite sure about, now's the time to go and find out. If nobody you know has the answer you seek, hit the Internet and library.

Run away from the 'Curse' of Jim Ryun
With the Olympics now over, the U.S. team once again demonstrated its athletic superiority by being first in the medal standings.
One medal that wasn't added to the final U.S. tally is from men's distance running — events 1,500-meter run or longer. No need to fret considering the United States has not earned a medal in a distance event since 1968 when former Kansas runner and current U.S. congressman Jim Ryun silvered in the 1,500. Unfortunately, the 36-year (and counting) medal drought has left most people resigned to expecting nothing from men's distance running.
How is that possible? How does the most powerful country on Earth produce such putrid results? Simplified, it is the "Burn Curse."
The Curse began wrecking havoc in 1972, starting with its namesake.
The United States has had good runners over the years, but unforesweet — and in some cases tragic — incidents have marred the sport and left it without a true superstar since Ryun, hence the Curse.
Simply stated, it is the "Ryun Curse."
It's the Munich games in 1972, and Ryun is participating in his third Olympiad during the end of his career. Ryun is looking for 1,500 gold while his teammate, Steve Prefontaine, is running in the star-studded 5,000-meter run. The fate of each would differ drastically.
Ryun was tripped in his qualifying heat and never even made it to the medal race. Prefontaine not only made the 5,000 finals, but also turned in one of the most memorable Olympic performances ever, even leading the race with a mile to go. He tired down the stretch and finished fourth, but the heir to Jim Ryun had finally assumed the throne.
The future was bright, and U.S. distance running had its superstar ... or so it thought.
In May 1975, Prefontaine, who was training for the 1976 Olympics, died in a car accident. The running community was devastated, and once again, The Curse had struck again.
The lingering effects of Prefontaine's death seemed to shackle the sport until 1990 when the "Next Great American Distance Runner" came onto the scene. Bob Kennedy assumed the title, and it was a logical choice. Although he lacked Prefontaine's charisma or Ryun's preparatory success, Kennedy was spectacular in college, and his potential for greatness was viable. But Kennedy would soon find it's hard to run fast when you're carrying a curse on your back.
Hailed as the man to end the medal drought in Athens, Webb finished 25th in his qualifier for the 1,500, failing to advance by .11 of a second. The Curse does not play nice.
Now there's Alan Webb. The 21-year-old phenom has been doomed since he broke Jim Ryun's prep mile record as a high school senior by nearly two seconds in 2001. Think The Curse didn't notice? Webb endured an injury-plagued freshman season at Michigan in both cross country and track. He left Michigan, turned pro, and his career began to turn around. Webb began lighting up tracks this year, including posting the second fastest 1,500 time in the world during June. He also broke another Ryan record a couple weeks later when he ran the fastest mile by an American on U.S. soil. Webb was the new distance running superstar.
Kennedy was undoubtedly the best American distance runner throughout the '90s, but he was never able to achieve the lofty status of his predecessors. He would go on to compete in the '92 and '96 Olympics, finishing 12th and sixth respectively in the 5,000.
While The Curse definitely loomed, it didn't officially affect Kennedy until 2000 as he was preparing for the Sydney games. Fresh off one of his best seasons in 1999, Kennedy was confident about his chances in the 5,000. The Curse had other ideas. In May, only a couple months before the Olympic Trials and 25 years after Prefontaine's death, Kennedy was involved in an accident that cost him seven weeks of training and, ultimately, a spot on the Olympic team. His career has sputtered since, culminating in this year's failed attempt for a third Olympics.
Looking ahead to Beijing, perhaps The Curse will finally meet its match after 40 years of disenchantment. Sad thing is that the Curse of the Bambino has been in Boston since 1918 ... can Jim Ryun run in 2008?

KANSAS
'Hawks ready for Canadian teams
By JESSE NEWELL
jnewell@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
This weekend's preseason Canada trip may sound like a vacation for the Kansas men's basketball team, but make no mistake.
"Even though it's an exhibition tournament, we're going up there looking to win some games," senior forward Wayne Simien said.
The team will participate in a three-day, four-game tour against Canadian collegiate teams from Saturday through Monday, leaving Lawrence today for Vancouver, Canada.
Coach Bill Self said he would give returners and freshmen about the same amount of minutes, but that the trip would be especially beneficial for the younger players.
"If we play 12 guys per game and play them all about 16 to 17 minutes, it would be a pretty good scenario," Self said.
Self announced yesterday that sophomore guard Jeremy Case and freshman forward Matt Kleinmann would not play on the Canada trip. Case has a pulled groin from Sunday's practice and will also consider redshirting this season, whereas Kleinmann has opted to sit out the 2004-2005 season.
With a redshirt, Kleinmann does not play this year but gains a season of eligibility in four years. According to NCAA rules, a player cannot redshirt if he plays in any exhibition or regular-season game.
"I'm happy about it, to be honest," Kleinmann said, "because I know I can help the team this year and four years after that. Not many guys can say they spent five years playing for Kansas."
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
Self said one other person might not play on the trip as a possible redshirt candidate.
Kansas will play two games Sunday, taking on Langara at 1 p.m., and Fraser Valley All-Stars at 9 p.m. Its final matchup against the Burnaby Mountain All-Stars will be 12:30 p.m. Monday.
Kansas will play British Columbia at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Fans can watch the game on the MegaVision at Memorial Stadium if they have a ticket to the 6 p.m. football game between Kansas and Tulsa.

Teams revved for first races
Cross country season set to begin

The Kansas cross country teams will start the season tomorrow with the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm. This first meet will serve as a tune-up for the returning runners and an important time trial for the newcomers.
Kit Leffler/KANSAN
"It will give the new kids a chance to get their feet wet," assistant coach Doug Clark said. "And returners will get their feet back in the water, too."
The men hope tomorrow will be their first step toward the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November. At the NCAA Midwest Regional meet, the team finished two spots away from qualifying for nationals, placing fourth out of 24 teams.
"We want to qualify for nationals, which we haven't done as a team in a real long time," said senior Chris Jones. Jones placed second on the team and 11th overall at the Midwest Regional last season.
"We will probably be ranked in the top 30 in the nation and in the top two or three in the region right off the bat," he said. "Definitely our goal is to be running at nationals. We

have a really experienced group returning."
Last season the team finished a disappointing 10th at the Big 12 Championships, but suddenly found its form at the last meet of the season and placed fifth at the Midwest Regional. The women are now without three of last year's top runners — Laura Lavoie, Lauren Brownrigg and Paige Higgins. But senior Megan Mantle and sophomore Laura Major will return. Both ran well at the end of last season. A strong freshman class could help make up for the losses as well.
For the women, Clark said the first few meets of the year should show the team what it is capable of.
Senior Chris Jones fills our paperwork after stretching during cross country practice Monday afternoon at the Horegi Family Athletics Center.
"We have some upperclassmen with experience, but in general, our team is pretty young" said sophomore Jess Violand, who competed in all six varsity meets last season. "At this level anyone can be a leader."
Freshman Connie Abbott will fight to compete in late-season meets. She said she looked forward to her first college race and expected to learn a lot tomorrow.
"There will be a lot more competition than in high school," Abbott said, "and you have to have a strategy. In high school I knew who to run with, but now I don't."
Freshmen on the men's side will try to prove themselves as well. Freshman Paul Hefferon, who won Kansas state titles in cross country for the 3,200-meter and the 1,600-meter races as a senior at Blue Valley West last year, sees tomorrow as a opportunity to demonstrate his abilities to the coaches.
"They brought me here for the purpose of running fast races," Hefferon said. "I want to let the coaches know that they're getting their money's worth."
With few major schools competing at the meet, Clark said the upper-classmen were more concerned with training smart and staying healthy than their performance. For sophomore Benson Chesang, the team's lone qualifier for the NCAA
Championships last year, this meet will be little more than a workout.
Still, Chesang said he hoped a crowd would show up to support the teams as they would try to defend last year's first place sweep tomorrow in the only home meet of the season.
"The Jayhawk community needs to come support the team," Chesang said. "Some people here don't have that great of an opinion of cross country. They just need to come watch."
Directions to Rim Rock Farm can be found online at www.kuathletics.com. The men's 8-kilometer race will start at 9 a.m. followed by the women's 5-kilometer race at 10 a.m.

Students confused as to what the Center for Campus Life was and its purpose may not have to be anymore. It's got a new name and new leadership.
On Aug. 9, Rueben Perez, assistant dean of students, became the new director for the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, located on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. The name of the center used to be the Center for Campus Life, but some members of the center felt the name was confusing.
"Students would hear Center for Campus Life and ask us, 'So, what do you guys do?' said Carla Woody, Hutchinson junior and employee of the center.
PEREZ
Perez said the new name better represented what the center did.
Woody worked for the center for two years. She said the name of the center was Organizations and Leadership, or O and L, when she first started working there. She said the name later changed to the Center for Campus Life, and now it was Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
Perez said Organizations and Leadership changed its named to the Center for Campus Life in order to incorporate the Emily Taylor Resource Center, men's outreach, Nontraditional Student Services and Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Resources into the center's area. He said the addition of the four population focus groups made Organizations and Leadership no longer seem appropriate.
Perez said the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, or Student Involvement for short, was an active part of the University of Kansas. He said Student Involvement was a home to many University organizations including Student Senate, KU on Wheels and the Center for Community Outreach.
Perez said he has two main goals as the new director. He wanted to continue doing what the center has been

THE FANATICS

Big Jay surfs over the student section after Kansas scored a touchdown during Saturday's game against Tulsa, 40,600 fans showed up for the team's home opener at Memorial Stadium, compared to last year's showing of 27,775.
Attendance soars
Season opener attracts a nearly full stadium
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN STAR WRITER
It was 80 degrees and sunny and the band played throughout the day. Blue and white tents decorated Campanile hill anticipating a flood of tailgaters. Kansas fans couldn't have asked for a better way to spend Saturday afternoon. They went to see the football game and a basketball game broke out. Both teams got convincing victories over their opponents.
About 6,000 fans went to Memorial Stadium to see the Kansas basketball team beat British Columbia 82-51. More impressively were the 40,600 fans who turned out for the football game against Tulsa, more than the 27,775 who turned out for last year's season opener against Northwestern.
"The day was perfect," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. "It came off just as we had planned."
He said the increase in attendance could be attributed to the success the football team experienced last year and a strategic marketing campaign that began last spring.
The gates to the stadium opened at 1 p.m., but some students came as early at 11 a.m. to get front row seats for the games. The tie-dye clad group who call themselves "super fans," sitting in the front row of section 43, were some of the first to arrive at the stadium. The 13 person group of Baldwin City sophomores said they sat in one of the front rows of every football and basketball games last year. They're on track to do the same this year.
"It's football time right now," said
Dan Hamilton. "Basketball is just an added bonus."
The basketball team, which played in its practice jerseys, held a decisive lead throughout the game but the fans held out until the end. All five freshman played and showed the potential fans hoped to see. The basketball game ended at about 4 p.m., and most fans exited the stadium to the sound of the band playing the alma mater. The blue and white tents and the parking lots surrounding the stadium filled up fast as fans went to celebrate the basketball team's victory and waited for the season opening kickoff. They didn't go far however, as there was a great crowd for the 6 p.m. kickoff. By the middle of the first quarter, students were pouring into the student sections, which were almost

Because of the success of the Feather the Flock campaign, a campaign to raise money for new marching band uniforms last semester, Rallo and other members of the Marching Jayhawks unveiled brand new, perfectly tailored uniforms at Saturday's football game.
The trumpeter said because of travel, band uniforms usually last only about 10 years. This year the KU Marching band purchased its first set of uniforms since the set bought in the early 1980s.

Coed GSP not likely for years
BY KRISTEN MAXWELL
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
It's been circulating a while, the nasty rumor.
But the rumor is just that: a rumor. The all-women hall will stay that way for at least the next few years.
"I heard that GSP was going to go coed just by word of mouth," said Whitney McNeil, Overland Park junior. "But I've also had lots of my friends, mostly just girls who lived with me in GSP-Corbin, ask me if the same rumor is true."
Although more women are requesting the coed renovated residence halls, such as Lewis, Templin and Ellsworth, the housing department has no plans of changing the gender requirement of GSP, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing. The rumors are a product of one meeting with a lot of ideas.
Figures on the first day of school revealed Corbin Hall was filled to capacity, with Oliver Hall and McCollum Hall at a close second with only one vacancy in each resident hall. GSP, however, had only 412 of its 418 spots occupied, the lowest of all the resident halls with six vacancies available, which would have been unheard of in earlier years, Stoner said.
Residence Halls demand shifted as early as 1997 with the renovations of Templin and Lewis Halls, said Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing. The increasing demand for renovated halls came despite the $562 increase in prices for a double room.
"It was a new thing that people were interested in and that makes a difference in their decisions," said Robertson.
At a weekly meeting held last year with the associate and assistant directors of housing, Stoner said he discussed this new trend and challenged his staff to think of ways to accommodate the demand.
Other ideas presented in the meeting included turning all the rooms in GSP to single occupancy rooms, in order to adjust to the overwhelming number of students who have their own rooms at home, Stoner said.
Renovating the hall into suite-style rooms was also suggested along with an unrelated idea of perhaps offering meal plans to sororities on campus.
"What started out as a bunch of what-if ideas turned into rumors," Stoner said. "Most people responded to the ideas by asking me what I was thinking."
Not only are there no set plans to deal with the shift in demand, but GSP is not even next on the list for renovations. Hashinger Hall will be renovated first, starting this summer and ending next year, Stoner said. Unlike the other renovated halls, Hashinger Hall will stay the traditional two-person rooms.
Look for the development of a new Hashinger Hall next year and other changes in student living situations in years to come.
But don't be surprised when GSP desk assistants still enforce the rules concerning visitation hours for men in 2005.

Distance learning courses created for Sesquicentennial
The Sesquicentennial, Lawrence's 150th birthday, has inspired two new distance-learning courses at the University of Kansas. The courses, which cover Plains literature and Kansas history, are available through KU Continuing Education's Independent Study program.
Leah Hatteter, instructor, will teach ENGL 203: Topics in Reading and Writing: Plains Literature, which will use novels, essays and diaries to show students how Plains people lived and how their lives sometimes depended on the weather and nature.
Hattemer said one of the more interesting parts of the course would be reading through teenage diaries from the early 20th Century. The diaries describe some of how young people felt about moving to a new community and area.
"I think it's important to understand the past," she said.
HIST 620: History of Kansas, another three-hour course, explores Kansas history by looking at national events that influenced how Kansas developed. Both courses are available to undergraduates. HIST 620 is also available for graduate credit.
Students who are interested in either course can call (877) 404-5823 or 864-5823 or look at the Independent Study catalog on-line at www.kuce.org/isc.

KC Police believe one killer responsible for six murders
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City police announced yesterday that they believe one person is responsible for the deaths of six people whose bodies were found in an 18-block area east of downtown.
Stephanie Farley
Police Capt. Rich Lockhart would not say what led police to connect the bodies to a single killer, but the crimes have not been connected forensically.
Lockhart said police were working with the FBI to develop a profile of the killer. So far, the main link among bodies is where they were found: on vacant lots or near vacant houses or apartments in a neighborhood frequented by drug addicts and prostitutes. Five bodies were discovered since Thursday; the first body was found in July.
Few details have been released about the victims, four of whom have been identified.
"Some were engaged in high-risk lifestyles," Lockhart said when asked if they were engaged in criminal activities, but he did not elaborate.
The investigation began Thursday when police responded to reports of a foul odor coming from the rear of a vacant residence and found two badly decomposed bodies in a garage.
Lockhart said police are combing missing persons reports for leads. Police also are asking the public for help identifying the victims and for details that might lead police to their killer.
The community group Move UP is offering a $2,000 reward for information, and spent yesterday afternoon distributing filers in the neighborhood where the bodies were found.
Police asked anyone with information to call 816-784-9070.

Town's historical foundation was built on a misspelling
NESS CITY — Ancestors of the Civil War corporal who inspired the name of this city, a county and countless other things have made an important discovery: They all got his name wrong.
Distant relatives researching their genealogy realized the man after whom this 3,500-resident town is named — Noah Van Buren Ness — actually spelled his name Kness.
The realization could have made a mess of things for this municipality. But no immediate change is expected to correct the apparent mistake.

Visitors at Image Point Gallery look at work by Bill Snead during First Friday art shows in the Kansas City, Mo., Crossroads district. The show, "From Kansas To Yonder and Back," will run through Oct. 29.
Bill Snead, Lawrence journal-World senior editor, looks at the world through his lens and has been since he was 17. Snead's gallery showing of his work,
"From Kansas to Yonder and Back" represents nearly 50 years of photojournalism.

The gallery opened Friday and Snead gave a lecture Saturday morning. The 87 images will be on display through Oct. 29 at Image Point Gallery, 1515 Grand Blvd. Kansas City, Mo. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In 1954 Snead started as a part-time employee mixing chemicals in the Journal-World photo lab while a senior at Lawrence High School. During his Saturday lecture, Snead lifted a Speed Graphic camera and demonstrated what it took to take one picture. The user slid in the frame holder, which only held two frames, change the flash bulb, adjust the camera's light and speed before capturing a moment. Snead said in an average football game he would take 24 frames, whereas now a photographer may take up to 24 frames within the first play. Snead said he was glad that he learned on such a camera because it taught him to wait for the moment to happen.
"It was good for me to shoot less and think before I shot," he said.
After graduating from high school in 1955, Snead attended the University of Kansas for fewer than two semesters. Snead said that it was hard to study something that he was already doing for professional newspapers. He went from the Journal-World to The Topeka Capital-Journal and then to The News-Journal in Wilmington, Del., five years later.
His gallery showing includes photographs he took of a 1964 press conference with the
Beatles. Snead said that the conference lasted 45 minutes and he was one of a dozen people who attended. Snead said he couldn't get tickets to the concert, but got into the conference by wearing a suit and tie and simply asking, "Mav I come in?"
In 1967 the United Press International asked Sneed to run its photo bureau in Saigon. In 1969 Snead left Vietnam and worked in the UPI's Chicago bureau. Snead was the picture editor at National Geographic until 1972. After that Snead went to The Washington Post and became the assistant managing editor for photo and graphics. While at The Washington Post in 1993, Snead was named White House Photographer of the Year. Snead returned to the Laurence journal-World in 1994.
He never had to fill out one job application during his career; he was asked to take each position he held.
In 1991 Snead took pictures of 500,000 Kurdish refugees who were trapped between Iraq and Turkey. Snead said he went to see these refugees on his own dollar and called the images his vacation pictures. Once he got there he started transmitting his pictures by satellite to The Washington Post. The Washington Post printed his pictures on the front page and was the only newspaper with photos of the refugees. Snead said that 1,000 refugees were dying every day, and the sights and smells were still clear in his mind.
Snead showed a picture of a family bearing a child and said that it was a "point" photo. Everyone knew that these people are dying; Snead referred to the picture as just making that point. Snead then showed a picture of a baby refugee being cared for by a Swedish doctor. He explained that some of the children had to have IVs in their head when other veins couldn't be found. Snead said he remembered apologizing to the doctor, and the doctor replied that
everyone had a job to do.
That same year Snead went to the Church of Lord Jesus in West Virginia to see a church service that involved snake handling. Snead said he got permission to attend the service when he called the pastor and said he heard that their church provided the most uplifting services. The Pentecostal service included dancing and singing and the handling of rattlesnakes and copperheads. One picture was of a man named Dewy Chafin holding five snakes. Chafin had been bitten 116 times in his life. Snead said that the service was exciting and scary at the same time.
"One more service and I would have tried to grab one," Snead said, referring the the snakes that were held by participants all around him.
Snead said his editor complained that the pictures were not as sharp as they could have been. He replied, "I'm the only guy without a snake."
The gallery included pictures of famous faces, such as Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa; to the unknown but noteworthy faces, such as the only two Utica High School graduates for the class of 1993. Snead's work views the world from every group. The gallery shows pictures Snead took from a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1986 and when asked how he got to take such pictures his answer was simple.
"You just have to ask even when you're afraid." Snead said.
Snead was the photographer for the Women of KU 2004 calendar. Snead was a guest speaker at a journalism creative process class
The image shows two individuals shaking hands in an indoor setting. The person on the left has short hair and is wearing a black shirt, while the person on the right has white hair and is wearing a light-colored shirt with vertical stripes. In the background, there are several framed pictures or artworks on the wall.

EDITORIAL

Mud-slinging ads detract from individual ideologies
George W. Bush is an intelligent man, and John Kerry served America
George W. Bush is an intelligent man, and John Kerry served America courageously during his service in Vietnam. Don't try to tell that to the party faithful, though. They're too busy making sure they'll never have to hear anything that challenges their beliefs by gobbling up a steady diet of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Or they're occupied with the latest jokes about just how dumb and childish the reviled "King George" is.
There is just not enough time for a substantive policy debate. Don't even think about attempting an intelligent conversation on the values and ideologies upon which our political differences have arisen.
It is cliche by now to note that America has not been this politically divided since the Vietnam War era. Look at the protests during the Republican convention, close standings in the polls and the existence of "W" ketchup for confirmation of the gap that exists today.
Despite all of the negative attention it has received, the wide gap between the parties may not be the worst trait of politics today.
That dubious honor ought to go to the negative, ugly tone that has reached new heights this year, and the accompanying focus on highly irrelevant stories of sensation and scandal. Certainly negative campaigning has a long history in American politics, but the current brand is practically inescapable and backed by hundreds of millions of dollars. It isn't healthy.
Not only does it distract from the substantive policy and value debate, but it also frightens some of
the nation's best and brightest from entering the political fray.
If a war hero like John Kerry can be hit so viciously and effectively by flat-out lies about his service in Vietnam, then imagine what they could do to a qualified person who might have skeletons in their closet related to drugs, alcohol or sex. Many lives and careers have been ruined because of negative politics, and fewer are choosing to subject themselves and their families to it.
The vicious tone, combined with the gap between the parties, has also led to a significant decrease in political moderation.
Moderates such as Sen. Joe Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) have been jeered more vocally by members of their own parties than by their opposition. Party loyalty has defeated the truth.
In countless classes at the University of Kansas right now, students are learning about the ancient Greeks and Romans who valued moderation, civility and an eternal quest for truth and justice. Those people would no doubt be horrified by the state of politics today. There has probably never been a better time to study these texts.
Heed their call. Don't be afraid to challenge your own beliefs. Dive into a scholarly examination of the values and policies on which the candidates differ. Take a stand on what you believe instead of spouting the party line on everything.
And above all, tell those negative campaigners to "shove it!"

WAR ON TERRORISM -
was it can or can't...
Diversity learned best on campus
Arrah Nielsen's Aug. 25 column, "Diversity promoters misguided," agitated many readers. Nielsen argued that the University of Kansas over-emphasizes diversity on campus.
Her column was misguided, but it still has educational value.
NOT UNHEARD OF
I joined the opinion page to bring a new perspective to diversity on campus. My little corner of "Diversity Territory" includes disabilities and related issues that are relevant to the University. More than 50 million Americans have at least one disability, and they should not be ignored or demeaned — offenses Nielsen committed in her column.
Nielsen's column provides examples of thought errors and insensitivity, from which all students can learn.
NOT UNHEARD OF
TARA SCHUPNER
opinion@kansan.com
First, Nielsen offers a quick fix-it to increase diversity on campus: "Hire blind bus drivers."
This suggestion is an example of what not to say. Demonstrate the quality of the education the University gives you, and make politically correct and sensitive statements. Imagine if one of your parents, or even your employer, was blind or otherwise disabled, and act accordingly.
Second, Nielsen questions the necessity of diversity education in college. She said it could wait until students enter the workplace.
It is never too early to learn about diversity — including how to interact with people with disabilities. People do not wait until they get a job to acquire a disability. There are people with disabilities in the public school system and at
the University who do not deserve to be ignored and shunned until they enter the workforce.
A college education does not include just academics and Partying 101. Take advantage of the other opportunities the University offers and learn how to work with people with disabilities. It will benefit you in the long run, as well as impress your future employer.
"Students are here at KU to learn new things," said Kim Bates, the Interpreter Coordinator in the University's Services for Students with Disabilities Office. "So, if they willing and open-minded to relationships with people with disabilities, that can only enrich their lives."
Third, Nielsen argued "there is no empirical evidence to support [the Office of University Relations'] claim" that "diversity enriches the educational environment greatly."
Nielsen has a narrow and skewed viewpoint. She forgets, or neglects to consider, the benefits of diversity in education to minorities, such as people with disabilities. Part of why disabled people can receive a college education
is because diversity is fostered on the University level.
Just 50 years ago, many disabled people had no access to higher education. If I, a deaf person, had been a college student then, I would have no interpreters. Others could not navigate campus because ramps and elevators were not mandatory.
Because of the hard work of open-minded and sensitive individuals who promoted acceptance of disabilities — the same people Nielsen slams in her column — the federal government passed legislation including the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, which required schools to make their campuses accessible.
Twenty years later, matters have improved but a large gap remains. The 2000 Census found that, though more than 21 percent of non-disabled Americans ages 18-34 are in college, less than 15 percent disabled people in that age group are college students. Also in that age group, more than 86 percent of non-disabled people have a high school diploma. Less than 74 percent of people with disabilities graduated from high school.
To close this gap, the University should embrace diversity. The University is not just for non-minority Kansas residents, but for every individual who wants an education regardless of their disability or minority status.

Education is readers' responsibility
When I moved a few weeks ago, I wrapped my ceramic mugs in copies of the summer Kansan. As I separated the sheets and stuffed them into boxes, I was struck by the irony of packaging my breakables with not just paper. I was padding my stuff with news.
The realization made me question how seriously I regard the Kansan's news. Do readers really gain knowledge from our paper?
PERSPECTIVE
BECCA EVANHOE opinion@kansan.com
Newspapers, in theory, have a noble purpose. Adair Lara wrote the following in a 1999 article: "A 19th century Irish immigrant named O'Reilly called the newspaper 'a biography of something even greater than a man. It is the biography of a DAY. It is a photograph of 24 hours' length, of the mysterious river of time that is sweeping past us forever."
I doubt many readers view the Kansan as a photograph of the mysterious river of time sweeping past us forever. Most would probably agree more with George Bernard Shaw that a newspaper like the Kansan "is a device unable to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization."
The extreme viewpoint is that the newspaper is a fundamentally flawed medium. In Neil Postman's book Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public
Postman argues that the flashy, sensationalistic headlines and pictures with snappy cutlines are simply attention-grabbers. No real "learning" takes place.
Discourse in the Age of Show Business, he asserts that newspapers are only for entertainment value.
Newspapers are designed to be convenient summaries of daily happenings. Readers want something to read over their morning coffee. But it is a problem when readers assume a single article is the full story.
Another problem arises when readers don't read *the news* in the paper.
An April study by the Readership Institute of Northwestern University showed that people ages 18 to 24 about the age of most KU students are attracted to lifestyle stories and features
like home, health, food, fashion, recreation and science. Oh, and advertisements.
If you only read the Jayplay section and the Free For All, the fact that you're not learning about other news stories isn't our fault — it's yours, buddy.
This dichotomy between those who point fingers at the media and those who blankly fill out the crossword, can be remedied.
The reader and journalist must meet halfway.
With the upcoming presidential election, it's too important to just keep reading the ads while ignoring the news. Use newspapers for what they are — a tool.
Regard media coverage as a jumping-off point. Ask yourself what questions the article leaves unanswered, and further research those issues that most interest you. Ask yourself what the bias of the medium is. Read several stories on the same event in different papers.
Readers should hold journalists to high standards of integrity — but journalists should have similar expectations for the readers.

STATE
Candidates may win election by default
TOPEKA — Nearly half of the races for the Kansas House are uncontested in this year's general election.
With Labor Day traditionally starting the campaign season and all 125 seats to be filled Nov.2,40 Republicans and 19 Democrats face no opposition.
"The number is still amazing ly high to me," Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh said dur
Republicans have majorities of 30-10 in the Senate and 80-45 in the House.
House Speaker Doug Mays (R-Topeka) and Minority Leader Dennis McKinney (D-Greensburg) said recruiting candidates can be difficult because those candidates must sacrifice time with their families and jobs

Uncontested general election races can reflect one party's dominance in an area, with the GOP having a long-standing advantage statewide.

completely full by the end of the first quarter.
Coach Mark Mangino said he was impressed with the fan turnout.
"It looked like a pretty exciting group," Mangino said. "We've got some liony fans that come week in and week out."
The fans, who Mangino said were patient during the dismal first half, came alive in the second half as Kansas outscored Tulsa 18-0. Mangino said fans should get used to seeing a good
defensive team on the field.
"We want the fans to understand that defense is what carries you to the top," Mangino said.
The Kansas defense allowed Tulsa only 17 yards on offense in the second half. Fans left the stadium after opening wins, aggressive play from the freshman basketball players and an impressive defensive performance from the football team.
They certainly couldn't have asked for more.

Sodomy laws criticized
"It's not a very pretty image," said James Esseks, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney representing Limon.
Esseks saw similarities to the evolution furor, prompted by the State Board of Education's rewriting science testing standards in 1999. But Limon's supporters aren't alone.
One supporter of Kansas' current law said criticism of the Limon ruling is the same sort of condemnation that was aimed at
the Board of Education for removing most references to evolution from its standards five years ago. That condemnation helped elect new board members, who approved evolution-friendly standards in 2001.
"It is a parallel," said Matthew Staver, whose Florida group, Liberty Counsel, helped some legislators draft a legal defense of existing Kansas law.
The Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments in Limon's case this past week and could rule as soon as Oct. 15.
Limon committed his crime in February 2000, just after turning 18.

He said Student Involvement developed leadership and organizational skills, fine tuned social skills and created opportunities for students to learn outside of the classroom.
"We are here to enhance the classroom by giving students the opportunity to have hands-on experience." he said.
He said an example of hands
on experience was putting students in charge of organizing and running an event. Students would learn learn about managing personnel, budgeting, fundraising, curriculum development, or communication to an audience and experience working on a team, said Perez.
Previously the coordinator for leadership programs in the Center for Campus Life, Perez replaced Danny Kaiser, the director since 1997. Kaiser was appointed to a newly created assistant dean of students position responsible for overseeing the University's student judicial system.
Organization members and
employees of Student Involvement said they thought Perez was the right person for the job.
"I have no doubt he'll do a great job and this will be a smooth transition, at least for Student Senate," said Steve Munch, student body president.
Perez said he wanted to challenge team members to work outside of their specialties, keeping them fresh and current.
"I like the idea of looking where we are, where we could be, and leading us to the next step." he said.
In addition to being the new director, Perez is also a full-time

Overall, the change has not been drastic.
Katie Jensen, Minneapolis, Minn., senior and co-director for the Center for Community Outreach, said it was still the same faces, just in different positions.

Frances hits Florida Panhandle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A woman looks at the damage to a trailer in the front yard of her home. The trailer is lying on its side with several pieces of metal scattered around it. There are no signs of water or flooding in the immediate vicinity.
Enid Haworth looks at the remnants of her shed upon returning home after Hurricane Frances passed through the area yesterday in Barefoot Bay, Fla. Despite some property damage, Haworth's return was a relief — her home was still intact.
Wilfredo Lee/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. MARKS, Fla. — Hurricane Frances sloshed into the Florida Panhandle yesterday, taking a second swing at a storm-weary state where it already had knocked out power to 6 million people, torn up roofs and boats and been blamed for at least seven deaths.
While Panhandle residents rode out the tropical storm's heavy rain and wind blowing at a sustained 65 mph, shutters started coming down in the south and residents began returning to homes they had evacuated.
The return revealed fresh hardship as motorists waited for gasoline in queues that stretched up to five miles, and others stood in enormous lines to get water, ice and other basic supplies.
There was even a long line at a dump in Miami, where 25 cars waited to dispose of storm debris.
More than 3 million people remained without power yesterday evening.
President Bush, expected to survey the damage tomorrow, is asking Congress to approve $2 billion to help victims of hurricanes Charley and Frances.
The core of the storm, once a powerful Category 4 hurricane before it slowed somewhat, slammed into the state's Atlantic
coast early Sunday. After crossing the state and a corner of the Gulf of Mexico, it made its second Florida landfall at St. Marks, 20 miles south of Tallahassee, early yesterday afternoon.
In Tampa, 105 residents of a retirement home were evacuated in wheelchairs with floodwaters injuries at their knobs.
The water seeped into the home from a retention pond.
Forecasters said Frances could bring up to 10 inches of rain and a 5- to 10-foot storm surge to the Panhandle. Four coastal counties ordered evacuations.
Frances was moving northnorthwest at about 11 mph, forecasters said, and bound for Georgia and Alabama.
But while Frances was heading out of Florida, residents had started keeping a wary eye on vet another storm.
Ivan, the fifth hurricane of the year, had sustained wind of near 105 mph and was centered 250 miles east-southeast of Barbados in the central Atlantic.
Forecasters weren't sure whether it would hit the United States, but Floridians are fed up after contending with Frances and Charley over the past month.
At a Florida Turnpike rest stop in West Palm Beach — one of the few places in the area with gas and power — a 5-mile line of motorists waited for fuel. "It
took a little while, but I'm glad to be here," said Greg McCourt, who waited an hour to get gas for a trip to Georgia.
Airports in Tampa, Orlando, West Palm Beach and Key West reopened.
By yesterday evening, more than 80,000 people remained in shelters, down from about 108,000 on Sunday. The largest evacuation in state history had affected 47 of Florida's 67 counties.
"I've gone through all these Florida storms without going to a shelter," 100-year-old Gladys Swezey said after Gov. Jeb Bush paid a visit. "I find this quite disturbing — to make such a todo out of a storm. In the old days, we'd just stay home and
do what we can to keep the water out."
Cruise ships arrived belatedly at the Port of Miami after staying at sea to avoid the storm and extending their passengers' voyages.
The Postal Service played catchup by delivering mail on Labor Day.
Some schools made preparation for classes after serving as shelters during the weekend.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency was prepared to distribute 1.5 million gallons of water and 1 million meals.
One risk-assessment company estimated insured losses from Frances could range from $2 billion to $10 billion.
Clinton resting after heart surgery
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Bill Clinton had a successful quadruple heart bypass operation yesterday to relieve severely clogged arteries that doctors said had put the former president in grave danger of a major heart attack sometime soon.
Clinton is expected to make a full recovery, but doctors said he was fortunate to have checked himself into the hospital when he did.
The heart disease they repaired was extensive, and blockage in several of Clinton's arteries was "well over 90 percent," said Dr. Craig R. Smith, the surgeon who led the operation.
Smith said Clinton could leave the hospital in four or five days. Clinton was awake but sedated about four hours after the operation ended, said Dr. Allen Schwartz, chief of cardiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia.
The four-hour surgery came three days after Clinton arrived at the hospital complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath.
In a statement, Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, thanked the hospital staff for helping the family through a trying time.
"Bill, Chelsea and I stayed up
pretty late last night talking, playing games and just being with each other," the senator said. "These past few days have been quite an emotional roll-coaster for us."
in bypass surgery, doctors remove one or more blood vessels from elsewhere in the body — in Clinton's case, two arteries from the chest and a vein from the leg — and attach them to arteries serving the heart, detouring blood around blockages.
Schwartz said it would be possible for Clinton in the future to lead an "extraordinarily active lifestyle" — including hitting the campaign trail.
Clinton had planned to campaign for Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, but the recovery from surgery will take him off the stump — at least for now — with just two months left until the election.
Meanwhile, more than 45,000 get-well wishes poured in for Clinton, including tens of thousands of e-mails sent to the Web site of his presidential library.
"You are surrounded by cherished family, friends and a nation that adores you and prays for your full and complete recovery," wrote Toni Maryanna Rossi. "You'll be jogging 5 miles a day in no time."

Fallujah bomber causes deadly day for Americans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A suicide attacker sped up to a U.S. military convoy outside Fallujah and detonated an explosives-packed vehicle yesterday, killing seven Marines and three Iraqi soldiers, U.S. military officials said. It was the deadliest day for American forces in four months.
The force of the blast on a dusty stretch of wasteland nine miles north of Fallujah, a hotbed of Sunni insurgents, wrecked two Humvee vehicles and hurled the suicide car's engine far from the site, witnesses and military officials said.
The bombing underscored the challengers U.S. commanders face in securing Fallujah and surrounding Anbar province, the heartland of a Sunni Muslim insurgency bent on driving coalition forces from the country.
U. S. forces have not patrolled in Fallujah since ending a three-week siege of the city in April that had been aimed at rooting out militiaman. Insurgents have only strengthened their hold on Fallujah since then.
Early today, residents reported strong explosions around Baghdad. But the U.S. command said it had no information.
Abdul Khader Sadl/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Saddam Hussein's deputy, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, putting a stop to two days of conflicting statements about his purported arrest.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry said medical tests confirmed that Iraqi authorities had once again mistakenly reported the capture of ousted dictator
Ministry spokesman Sabah Kadhim said unspecified tests had shown that a man being held in Iraqi custody was actually a relative of al-Douri who played only a minor, role in Saddam's regime but was nevertheless wanted by authorities.
U. S. soldiers stand at the site of a massive car bomb attack on the outskirts of Fulujah, 40 miles northwest of Baghdad, Iraq, yesterday. Seven U.S. Marines and three Iraqi National Guard soldiers died in the apparent suicide attack, the U.S. military said.
The reports on al-Douri — the most wanted Saddam-era henchman still at large — came as an embarrassment to interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's government and exposed a lack of coordination among ministers competing for influence ahead of January elections.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED FOR
With yesterday's deaths, 990 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq in March 2003, according to a count by The Associated Press based on Defense Department figures.
military had no confirmation
Three soldiers were wounded yesterday in a roadside bombing in eastern Baghdad.
After the suicide blast outside Fallujah, west of the capital, medical teams in helicopters ferried away the injured from the blazing wreckage and troops sealed off the area.
Fallujah hospital officials said four Iraqis were wounded by gunfire from U.S. troops near the site of the bombing, but the U.S.
The military condemned the bombing as "a desperate act of inhumanity" but insisted American troops would stay the course in Iraq until local forces are in a position to take over security operations. The slain Americans belonged to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force.
Hours after the attack, an unmanned U.S. spy plane crashed in Fallujah. Afterward, jubilant residents picked up pieces of debris and danced on the streets, displaying pieces of the aircraft to reporters, witnesses said.
Since the Marine siege ended gunmen have been using the city as a base to manufacture car bombs and launch attacks on U.S. and Iraqi government forces. Fallujah has become a virtual no-go zone for U.S. troops, though American warplanes have repeatedly carried out airstrikes against alleged militant safe houses there.
The car bombing resulted in the largest number of Americans killed in combat in a single day since May 2, when nine U.S. troops died in separate mortar attacks and roadside bombings in Baghdad, Ramadi and Kirkuk.
Seven troops were killed on two days last month, but in each case, there were six Americans and one foreign coalition member who died. On Aug. 21, six U.S. service members and one
Polish soldier died in combat, and six were killed on Aug. 15, along with a Ukrainian soldier.
On Sunday, both Iraqi Minister of State Qassim Dawoud and a Defense Ministry spokesman publicly proclaimed al-Douri's capture. In the day, Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan said word of his arrest was "baseless."
Kadhim, the Interior Ministry spokesman, did not, however, identify the al-Douri relative in custody, nor did he say when or where he was captured.
"This will make the governa-
ment lose credibility after its ministers and top officials appeared to be either liars or foolish," said Abdel Amir, an Iraqi political analyst and former editor of "Baghdad," the mouthpiece of Allawi's Iraqi National Accord party.
Amir said the conflicting claims reflected the rivalry within the government between ministers from different ethnic, religious and political groups, each keen to showcase his own achievements or embarrass rivals.
"It proved that they are very experienced and lack coordination.
tion on such important issues," added Mohammed Abdel Jabar al-Shabout, editor of Baghdad's Al-Sabah newspaper. '
Also yesterday, a Turkish driver taken hostage in Iraq was released by his captors, Turkey's Foreign Ministry said. The release came a day after the driver's company announced it would withdraw from Iraq in line with his captors' demand
Militants have already forced more than a half a dozen firms to quit Iraq through a spree of kidnappings and beheadings of foreigners working in the country.
Agonized Russians begin two-day period of national mourning
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BESLAN, Russia — Funeral processions filled the rainy streets of this southern Russian city yesterday, carrying coffins large and small, as townspeople buried scores of victims of a carefully planned school siege that prosecutors linked to a Chechen rebel leader.
Desperate families searched for those still missing from the siege at School No. 1, while others buried 120 victims during the
first of two days of national mourning across Russia, which has seen more than 400 people killed in violence linked to terrorism in the past two weeks.
Reports emerged that the attackers apparently planned the school seizure months ago, sneaking weapons into the building in advance.
There also were signs that some of the militants did not know they were to take children hostage and may have been killed by their comrades when
thev objected.
State television sharply criticized government officials for understating the scope of the crisis, in which hundreds of hostages were held for 62 hours by heavily armed militants who reportedly demanded the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya.
The school seizure came a day after a suicide bombing in Moscow killed 10 people and just over a week after two Russian passenger planes
exploded and crashed, killing all 90 people aboard — two attacks authorities suspect were linked to Russia's ongoing war in Chechnya.
Yesterday, wailing women stroked the coffins or kissed wooden stakes that bore the names of victims until tombstones could be put in place in Beslan's cemetery. A fuzzy, pink rabbit adorned one of the caskets.
Criticism of the government response to the tragedy was
mounting, with state television chiding officials for understating the magnitude of the crisis, for their slowness to admit that previous recent attacks were by terrorists and for their apparent paralysis.
Liberal politician Irina Khakamada called for an independent investigation into the hostage crisis, the Interfax news agency reported.
Khakamada said two questions had to be addressed: Whether the authorities had
prior information about planned terrorist attacks, and what the government was doing to stabilize the situation in Chechnya.
The school tragedy left few families untouched in the industrial town of 30,000, where many leave their doors unlocked. Most people had a relative, friend or neighbor killed or wounded.
The official death toll stood at 335 yesterday, plus 50 attackers. The Emergency Situations Ministry said 156 of the dead were children.

Some women don't need a
special occasion to wear high heels. Casey Gieber is one of those women. Because of hills, she said she couldn't wear them to campus, so she used trips to the gas station or Wal-Mart as excuses.
"I have this sense empowerment when I wear them," Gleber, Basehor senior, said. "You don't need a special occasion to feel good about yourself."

"They're definitely worth the pain." Misty Thompson, Iola senior, said. "It perks everything up."
Sales of high heels have picked up recently, said Tim Arensberg, owner of Arensberg's Shoes, 825 Massachusetts St.
"The high heels are the king," Arensberg said. "They look the best with long pants."
The most popular heel length was three to three-and-a-half
inches tall, he said.
And he said he thought Lawrence women's favorite brands were BCBG Girl and Chinese Laundry.
Arensberg also expects a resurgence of high-heeled boots this fall.

"It's a fashion statement but it shouldn't be an everyday fashion statement," he said.
McDonald said high heels could stress the lower back muscles. They put the lower leg into hyper extension, stressing hamstrings and causing lower back pain.

CHICAGO — Children who watched a lot of TV with sexual content were about twice as likely to start having intercourse during the subsequent year as those with little exposure to televised sex, researchers found.
High exposure to TV sex among those age 12 to 17 also was linked with a lower but still substantially increased risk of starting non-intercourse behavior, including passionate kissing and oral sex, the researchers found. Even shows that only refer to sex but don't depict it had the effect, they found.
"Exposure to TV that included only talk about sex was associated with the same risks as exposure to TV that depicted sexual behavior," said Rand Corp. behavioral scientist Rebecca Collins and colleagues.
TV sex carries over to actual behavior
TV thus "may create the illusion that sex is more central to daily life than it truly is and may promote sexual initiation as a result," the researchers said.
From innuendoes to depictions of intercourse, sex is pervasive on TV, present in about two-thirds of all shows other than news and sports, and teens watch an average of three hours of television daily, previous research has shown.
"When they're watching it for three hours a day, it really does become their social world. Those characters are people they identify with and pay attention to," said Collins, the lead researcher.
TV sex rarely deals with negative aspects most teens aren't prepared to deal with, including unwanted pregnancy, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, she said.
That "sends kids the message that everybody's having sex and nobody's thinking about responsibility and nothing bad ever happens," Collins said. "You
don't see the fade to black, the couple has sex, and the next morning says, 'You gave me an STD.'"
The study appears in September's Pediatrics, released today.
The results are based on nationwide telephone surveys of 1,792 adolescents queried in 2001 and again in 2002. Parental consent for participation was obtained before the interviews.
The researchers devised a list of 23 popular shows that on average featured abundant sexual content. Programs the researchers considered high in sexual content included That '70s Show, Friends and Sex and the City all popular with teens.
Many youngsters start having sex during their teen years, and previous data show that 46 percent of high school students say they've had intercourse.
Participants then were asked how often they watched those 23 shows. They also were asked whether they engaged in various sexual activities; results were compared from the two surveys.
The number of teens who reported having had intercourse climbed from about 18 percent to 36 percent. The number who'd had sexual experiences other than intercourse climbed from 62 percent to 75 percent, Collins said.
Factors that increased the likelihood of having intercourse included being older, having older friends and getting poor grades.
But even considering those factors, television still remained a strong influence, the researchers said.
But many say they wish they'd waited longer to have sex, and television might be among factors influencing them to become sexually active too soon, the researchers said.

Beck helps 'Hawks save big victory
What an opening weekend for Kansas' fall sports. The basketball team had the pleasure of thumping its foes on the court and hopefully dished out a little extra for all those Canadian disasters like Celine Dion, the Montreal Expos and mayonnaise on hamburgers. Maybe you could tell, but I'm not a big fan of our neighbor to the north. But, I didn't make the trip to Canada, so I'm not going to talk about those games.
The reason the Jayhawks were able to stay in the game in the first half, and ultimately win, was the defense. Yes — the defense. Not the offense that, prior to the season, was expected to be the strength of this team. Kansas outplayed and outmanned a Tulsa team that won eight games and appeared in a bowl a year ago.
I did, however, travel to Memorial Stadium on Saturday to see the Jayhawks stick it to that meteorological phenomenon known as the Golden Hurricane. Who knew Oklahoma had hurricanes?
KANSAS 21—TULSA 3
The star on defense for the 'Hawks was none other than Gabe...not..so...fast. The star was junior linebacker Kevin Kane, Yep, Kevin Kane. Who knew? I'm not saying that fellow junior linebacker and last year's defensive leader/force/anchor, Gabe Toomey didn't play well. He had several tough tackles, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one surprised to see Toomey at outside linebacker instead of roaming the field from the middle.
Members of the KU football team celebrate with senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau after he recovered the ball from a blocked punt during the third quarter of the game against Tulsa Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The game concluded in a Jayhawk victory of 21-3.
Kane was a stud on Saturday. He recorded four total tackles, including a sack and an interception that he nearly ran back for a touchdown.
While Kane was great and a nice surprise, the biggest present for this team was the superb play of the defensive line. The line chased Tulsa quarterback James Kilian, a Johnny Unitas Award candidate, and sacked him seven times. If Kilian were not as fast or as mobile, that number would be much higher.
The sacks were highlighted by a safety by junior defensive tackle, Tim "The Tool Man" Allen, early in the fourth quarter. That was lovely, but the key stat of the game was KU's defense holding Tulsa to only 17 yards of total offense and four first downs in the second half.
This was an odd game filled with bizarre plays and strange scoring. There are arguably three plays that could be considered key defensive plays. The obvious one would be the blocked punt late in the third quarter by senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau, who made up for dropping several passes that hit him squarely in the mitts. Junior cornerback Theo Baines intercepted a pass in the second quarter on the first play of a Tulsa drive in Kansas territory.
But my play of the game came from everyone's favorite punching bag, senior kicker Johnny Beck. Beck did miss a field goal, albeit a long one from 45 yards, and an extra point. But he may have saved the game with an open field tackle after a kickoff early in the third quarter.
After Beck's twenty-yard field goal, he kicked off to Tulsa's Ashlan Davis who eluded several tacklers before Beck was able to take out his legs prior to Davis running straight to the end zone with nothing but fake grass in front of him. A touchdown would have given Tulsa a 9-6 lead before the extra point and a ton of momentum. It would have been tough for the Jayhawks to recover after a play like that.
Luckily for Kansas and thanks to Johnny Beck, they didn't have to.

Defense holds Golden Hurricanes to three points
BY JONATHAN KEALING

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Last season, a blistering offense overwhelmed Kansas' football opponents. If Saturday's game is any indication, the hallmark of this Jayhawk team will be its defense.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino hadn't won a season opener in his previous two years with the Jayhawks. That streak ended Saturday when Kansas rode a strong defensive performance to a 21-3 victory against Tulsa.
The first half of the game started slowly with neither team able to score. Each team's first two series resulted in punts. In the first half, Tulsa accumulated five first downs, while Kansas managed just one.
The only scoring opportunity of the half came when Kansas notched its one first down. After a Tulsa punt gave Kansas the ball at the 50-yard line, a four-yard rush by junior running back Clark Green and a 15-yard pass from sophomore Adam Barmann to junior wide receiver Mark Simmons set up Kansas at Tulsa's 31-yard line.
After two short rushes by Green, Mangino called on senior kicker Johnny Beck. Beck, who had difficulty with short field goals and extra points at the end of last season, attempted a 45-yard field goal. His kick went wide right of the uprights. Beck later missed an extra point on one of Kansas' two touchdowns.
"We missed an extra point, and that's an issue with me. We're past that," Mangino said.
Tulsa had 10 offensive series in the first half, but the Kansas defense hold
tough almost every time. To start the second quarter Tulsa went 50 yards in eight plays and drove to the Kansas sixyard line before stalling and kicking a field goal to go up 3-0.
Junior transfer defensive end Jermial Ashley knocked down a pass and forced a third and goal that Tulaa didn't convert.
Mangino said he was impressed with Ashley's plav.
"Jermial Ashley, for his first collegiate start, did a very good job. Put pressure on the quarterback, played the run well, I think he batted down a
pass," Mangino said. "That's the kind of play that we need on defense."
Ashley downplayed his performance. "Our coach is always talking about making plays, and I wanted to make something happen. The guys around me are who made everything happen."
Going into the locker at halftime, the score was tied 3-3 after a 51-yard Johnny Beck field goal late in the first half. The stats were not in Kansas' favor. Barmann was 7-19 with a net of 57 yards. Tulsa quarterback James Killian threw for 76 yards while going 8-18. Kansas accumulated just 23 yards

Editor's Note: Kansan sportswriter Jesse Newell spent the weekend in Canada, serving as the eyes and ears of Jayhawk basketball fans who were unable to watch the men's team play north of the border. To read Newell's game stories, notes and observations from the entire exhibition tour, check out www.kansan.com. Pick up Thursday's Kansan for Newell's wrap-up column, summarizing the four-game trip.
BURNABY, British Columbia Subbing out of the game, Burnaby forward Aaron Christensen tried to warn teammate Pete Guarasci.
Unfortunately for the Burnaby All-Stars, they found this out too late. Senior forward Wayne Simien took over for the Jayhawks, scoring 25 points in 25 minutes to lead Kansas to a 98-76 victory over Burnaby.
"That 23," Christensen said, "he's a good player."
The All-Stars, made mostly of players from Simon Fraser University, provided the Jayhawks with its toughest test of the exhibition trip. Burnaby pulled to within eight at 55-47 in the second half, but could not find a match for Simien inside. The senior made 12 of 14 shot attempts, including a three-pointer in the second half.
"Simien plays like a pro already," Guarasci said. "He knows when to shoot, when to score and when to pass."
Couch Bill Self said he felt Simien was the only player who would be able to compete if the season started in
"I worked hard this summer on my range and getting up a lot of shots," Simien said. "It's paid off so far."
September.
"Wayne shot the ball unbelievably this trip." Self said.
Burnaby hung around early, taking a 13-12 lead on a Brent Clement three, but Kansas responded two minutes later with a 26-6 run to build its lead.
Simien and the rest of the Jayhawks lit up the nets in the second half, making 20 of their 27 shots for 74 percent.
Temperers flared after an incident in the first half when Charleton gave freshman forward Alex Galindo a shove in the backcourt. Self became upset with the officials, then yelled at Scott Clark when the Burnaby coach defended his player's actions and directly addressed Self.
Senior guard Michael Lee added 17 points, while freshman Alex Galindo added 15, knocking in four consecutive three-pointers in the second half. Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens also added double figures with 13, and guard Aaron Miles had 10 assists. Senior guard Keith Langford did not play in the game because of his injured knee.
Keesas notes —
A bagpipe player provided musical entertainment before the game.
Simon Fraser had the only cheerleaders the Jayhawks saw during the trip.
Self yelled at an official, saying Darnell Jackson couldn't have been in the lane for three seconds on a three-second call. The official responded by saying, "He was in there for four." Self managed a smile.

The Kansas women's soccer team did double duty over the weekend, playing Wisconsin-Milwaukee and St. Louis University at the KUstore.com Crimson & Blue Invitational.
On Friday, the Jayhawks faced Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a team coming off its first loss of the season. The Jayhawk team outshot the Panthers in the first half 7-3, but did not get on the board until sophomore transfer Nicole Cazuillo scored off a pass from sophomore midfielder Jessica Killpatrick at the 27:59 mark of the first half.
The goal was Cauzillo's first as a Jayhawk and came on her 19th birthday.
"It ites great to score this early on in the season," Cauzliu said. "I just want
In the second half, WisconsinMilwaukee attacked the net more effectively. The team made five shots on goal, but Kansas goalkeeper Meghan Miller blocked all five shots to reach six saves for the game and a third consecutive shutout to start the season. The shutout increased Miller's career shutout total to 22 and brought her current shutout streak to 270 minutes for the season.
"The back four that are in front of me, whoever's out there, they do an awesome job." Miller said.
Coach Mark Francis credited Miller's performance for the 1-0 victory. Despite the outcome, Francis was not happy with the rest of the team's play in

Singh takes Woods' No.1 rank in golf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTON, Mass. — Vijay Singh has been playing the best golf in the world for a long time. Now he has Tiger Woods' No. 1 ranking to prove it.
Singh finished his long climb to the top of golf's ultimate leaderboard by beating Woods in a head-to-head matchup, shooting a 69 yesterday to win the Deutsche Bank Championship by three strokes and claim Woods' spot as the top-ranked player in the world.
It was Singh's sixth victory of the year, enough to convince the computers that crunch the numbers what many have known for months.
many have known of us taken "Finally it's turned into my favor"
said Singh, who birdied three of the last four holes to win the $900,000 first prize. "I've worked pretty hard for this. I finally achieved what I wanted to do starting at the beginning of the year.
"It was a good win, as well. Coming down the stretch got pretty tight there, but I got focused and I played pretty good coming down."
Woods had been No.1 for more than five years — a record 264 consecutive weeks — in the rankings that consider performance over the past two years, factoring in the strength of field. Singh had winnowed Woods' lead to 12.09-11.91 heading into the Deutsche Bank, needing only to finish ahead of Woods to pass him.
The new numbers released later
Monday had Singh at 12.72 points to Woods' 12.27, making Singh the first player other than Woods to hold the No.1 ranking since Aug.8, 1999.
"That's not too bad, is it? I've had a good run." Woods said. "I'm not disappointed about the ranking; I'm disappointed in not winning ... Winning takes care of the ranking."
Singh and Woods were tied at 13 under after Singh boyedey the 13th hole, but Woods boyedey the next one and Singh birdied No. 15 to pull ahead by two strokes. The 41-year-old Fijian added birdies on the final two holes at the par-71, 7,415 TPC of Boston to finish 16 under, three ahead of Woods and defending champion Adam Scott.
wasn't about the ranking," said Singh, who has won the last nine times he took a lead into the final round. "It wasn't about going out there and trying to beat Tiger and beat the No. 1 player. I was out there trying to win the golf tournament and that was my goal starting out today.
"It was a golf tournament to me. It
"You know, Adam Scott nearly jumped up and took it away," he added, "but I was very focused."
Scott started the day seven strokes behind Singh before making the turn with four consecutive birdies to get into contention.
He birdied the 18th hole to move into second place at 13 under, and Woods' 69 matched him; John Rollins and Daniel Chopra were another two strokes back at minus 10.
Royals lose to Tigers in exchange of sloppy play
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Wil Ledezma made his last start in the Tigers' rotation a strong one.
Ledezma (4-2) gave up two runs — one earned — and seven hits in six innings to lead Detroit to a 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals yesterday. The 23-year-old left-hander will move to the bullpen to reduce the number of innings he throws the rest of this year.

Ledezma went 12-4 for Double-A

Detroit hadn't played since Friday, when it won at Tampa Bay but had the last two games of the series postponed because of Hurricane Frances.

Royals
Gary Knotts pitched the final three innings and gave up two hits and one run — Angel Berroa's solo homer in the ninth — for his second save.
Denny Bautista (0-1) lost in his first major league start, allowing four
runs on eight hits in six innings. The Royals have lost three of four.
Detroit jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first, helped by two mistakes by Kansas City's defense.
Carlos Pena lifted a harmless-looking fly ball to shallow left, but Desi Relaford broke the wrong way and failed to make a diving catch, giving Pena an RBI double.
Monroe's single made it 2-0 when no one covered first on a grounder between first and the mound. Jason Smith followed with a single to left, scoring Pena.
Kansas City left the bases loaded in the third, but scored twice in the next inning — thanks to some sloppy defense by the Tigers.
Ken Harvey reached second on shortstop Guillen's throwing error on his grounder, and scored on Joe Randa's single to right. Randa ended up on second when Bobby Higginson misplayed the ball, and he scored when Matt Stairs doubled down the right-field line.
Monroe made it 4-2 in the sixth with his 13th homer. He has hit in 19 of his last 20 games.

Randle ignites Jayhawk offense
BY.RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
After the first half against Tulsa on Saturday, the Kansas offense was sputtering with just 80 total yards and a lone field goal to show for its efforts.
The offense rallied in the third quarter, however, as the unit was more successful on the ground and through the air. The spark that aided Kansas in the second half and pushed the team to a 21-3 victory was the play of sophomore running back John Randle.
Randle sat out the first half as part of a punishment for being arrested three times in the past year, but he was able to get large gains on the ground once he was off the bench.
Randle was most effective
during the third quarter when the Jayhawks broke the game open. He carried the ball nine times for 45 yards in the quarter.
"He did a good job of just seeing where those creases are and using his vision and accelerating through those creases," coach Mark Mangino said.
Junior running back Clark Green, who has led the team in rushing the past two seasons, did not see a single carry in the second half after he had six carries for 23 yards in the first.
Mangino attributed the lack of carries given to Green in the first half to the increase of muscle weight he put on in the off-season.
"He has done a great job in the weight room, but he is about 8 or 10 pounds heavier than last year, and he looked like it running
tonight." Mangino said. "He's not out of shape; it's just that he felt like he needed to get in the weight room and put all this weight on, and he doesn't need to."
Green was unable to break any big gains against Tulsa, and his longest run was just seven yards.
"He didn't have any explosion. His legs were dead after a couple of series," Mangino said. "You have got to be careful because John Randle is like the Energizer Bunny. You can't wear John Randle out."
Last season, the speedy Randle had more than 500 yards rushing in limited carrying opportunities, but before this season began, Mangino had said that it was Green's job to lose. Now Mangino's position has been changed.
Sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann also has praise for Randle's performance..
"We are going to play with the guy who is playing really well," Mangino said after the victory over Tula.
"John's a great back. He's that shifty guy; he can make guys miss and really get downfield." Barmann said. "He can get big yards for us, and that's what we want as an offense, getting chucks of yards."
"I don't care who's back there, I like both of them back there," Barmann said. "They are both great backs to have beside you."
Barmann said he does not have any preference of who starts at the running back position.

Just one field goal. All I'm asking for is that the Northern Illinois Huskies put up one lousy last-minute field goal. But no, they had to go and stall on the Maryland 33-vard line.
The rest of the games were landslides, but if I saw one thing this week, it was weakness across the Big 12. Kansas State didn't manhandle Western Kentucky the way it should have, and Texas Tech trailed Southern Methodist University for much of the game before pulling it out in the end.
Two contestants went a perfect
I went 12-1 this week, but I have to be honest: I didn't pick any games that were overly difficult. Nor did I go out too far on any limbs. In fact, the only games I selected that were even close were a 20-13 victory by Memphis over Ole Miss and the 23-20 Maryland victory over Northern Illinois.
Come on, don't you think their kicker can make a 51-yard field goal? Johnny Beck did it in the Kansas game. Well, at any rate, I was a fictitious field goal away from making my stated goal of a perfect 13-0 week to start out Kick the Kansan this year
The rest of the games were landslides, but if I saw one thing this week, it was weakness across the Big 12.
13-0 this week. Senior Robert Brock and Austin, Texas, freshman Antonio Mendoza. Mendoza said he didn't have to do too much research on the games.
"I'm a huge college football fan and I've been a huge college football fan since I was little," he said.
He did admit to looking up the Division III game and discovering Mount Union's impressive win streak.
Mendoza may have been perfect this week, but next week will not be so easy. I am determined to have at least one weekend when I beat everyone.
Next week's highlight pick has to be the Florida State-Miami game, rescheduled for this Friday because of this weekend's Hurricane Frances. Also, look for some of this weekend's best teams to be featured in games next week.
Kick the Kansan entry ballots are available in today's paper because there was no paper yesterday. Next week, we return to Monday. As always, good luck to all who compete. Believe me, you're going to need it.

Laura Major, sophomore, falls short on a surge to the finish against Kansas State University freshman Stephanie Lavin. Major captured seventh place for the Jayhawks on Saturday. The Kansas State women's team placed first at the Bob Timmons Invitational, while the Kansas women took second. The Kansas men's team took first.

The Bob Timmons Invitational was all about underclassmen for Kansas on Saturday. The men won easily, while the women were edged out at the finish by Kansas State to take second place out of eight teams.
Sophomore Tyler Kelly had a breakout performance in the men's eight-kilometer race, placing second with a time of 26:12.96 and beating his time at last year's meet by more than a minute.
"I drank too much coffee before the race, so I was a little jittery," said Kelly, "but I knew I'd have a big improvement, because I had a really good offseason."
Two runners competing for the first time as Jayhawks finished closely behind Kelly: Freshman Colby Wissel came in third, in 26:21.14, followed by junior Matt French in fourth, in 26:23.02.
Kansas senior Chris Jones won the race in a time of 25:58.53, but cautiously entered unattached to save his eligibility. He wore a gray Michael Jordan jersey instead of his Kansas uniform. Jones distanced himself from the pack early in the race and hung on to the end.
"I felt amazing at the beginning," he said. "It hurt at the end, but it's supposed to."
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was happy with how the men performed.
"You always expect the best, and they always expect to do the best," he said. "So rather than be overwhelmed about it, I want them to start expecting it. I think this is the future of KU."
Benson Chesang, the Jayhawks' lone NCAA qualifier last season, was notably absent from the race.
Chesang said he was resting his hamstring, which had been giving him pain since last year. He said he was not sure whether he would run in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational this
Saturday, but that the problem is not serious.
In the women's race, four of Kansas' top seven finishers were freshmen. Connie Abbott led the way for the newcomers with a time of 20:03.75, finishing third on the team and 10th overall in her first college race. But she wasn't satisfied.
"I died at the end, but that's okay," said Abbott. "I'm getting there."
After Abbott, a pack of Kansas runners finished 13th through 16th, including freshmen Alicia McGregor in 20:14.32, Lisa Morrisey in 20:15.20 and Hayley Harbert in 20:16.47.
The three had just climbed the
final hill together with 300 meters to go when a deer darted across the path and almost collided with them.
"That was funny," said Morrise. "I thought it was a dog at first. Then I realized, that's not a dog, that's a deer with great big antlers."
Redwine said he saw the deer run out of the woods and start toward the course. "What did it have, four points on it?" he said. "I should've had my shotgun."
Senior Megan Manthe finished first on the team and third overall, in 19:13.91, despite an ailing foot. Sophomore Laura Major, 19:51.37, placed second on the team and seventh overall.

Distance coach Doug Clark had judged that Kansas was winning the race with 100 meters to go, but said the team was hurt by a weak finish.
"That's one thing we need to work on," he said. "But I'm happy with it. I don't want to make too much out of a meet on Sept. 4th."
Saturday the teams will compete in Kansas State's Wildcat Invitational in Topeka.
VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks dominate Tulsa tournament
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN, SPORTSWITTER
— Edited by Janette Crawford
The Kansas volleyball team won the Oral Roberts Classic, taking three matches in Tulsa, Okla., during the weekend. Josi Lima, junior middle blocker, was named the tournament's most valuable player, while teammates Jana Correa and Andi Rozum made the all-tournament team.
On Friday, the Jayhawks faced the Ramblers of Loyola-Chicago. Kansas won the match 3-1, dropping the first game but winning the rest. Coach Ray Bechard said his team's serving was below par in the first game, which ended with the Jayhawks behind. 26-30.
"Our pass and serve game put us out of rhvthm," he said.
The Jayhawks did not drop another set all weekend, but the Ramblers did not go easily. Loyola's Nichol Amberg scored a match-high 17 kills, but Kansas' offensive harmony was overwhelming — five players scored eight or more kills in the match. Lima led the Jayhawks with 13.
While the offense was solid, the team's defense was key in the final three sets of Friday's match. The Jayhawks allowed a dismal .080 attack percentage for the Ramblers. Attack percentage is calculated by subtracting attack errors from kills, then dividing by total attack attempts. The Jayhawks posted a percentage of .266, including a perfect 7-for-7 from junior setter Rozum. She added 40 assists during the match.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey — whose only responsibility is on defense, as the libero is allowed to hit the ball over the net only when the ball is below the top of the net — denied the Ramblers the most with 18 digs. She had 40 digs during the weekend,
teading Kansas in every match.
The final three games in the first match ended in victories for Kansas, 30-16, 31-29 and 30-22.
In the first of two Saturday matches, Kansas swept North Texas. 30-19, 30-18 and 30-21.
Serving was a strong point for the Jayhawks, who scored 13 aces during the match against North Texas' Mean Green.
The Mean Green posted a .049 attack percentage while the Jayhawks attacked at an impressive .393 clip. Lima again led the team, landing nine kills in limited action.
All 14 players on the Kansas roster played in the match as Bechard conserved his team's energy for the nightcap against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles.
The host team provided a slightly stiffer challenge, but the Kansas defense came through again, allowing only a .025 attack percentage.
The team's blocking was again dominant as the Jayhawks outblocked their weekend opponents 35-12. Bechard said blocking was one of the main reasons his team was 4-0 early in the season.
Sophomore outside hitter Correa led the Jayhawks with 12 kills. She also added nine digs in the final match. Freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown contributed nine kills and 10 digs as the Jayhawks completed another sweep: 30-21, 32-20 and 30-18.
The undefeated Jayhawks will play for the first time on their home court in Horejsi Family Athletics Center this Friday.
The Jayhawk Classic will begin with a double-header against Rhode Island at noon and Wisconsin at 7 p.m. The tournament will conclude with a match against Denver on Saturday at 2 p.m.
"We hope things go as well for us next weekend," Bechard said.

通过空腹血糖测试，可以评估一个人是否需要控制血糖水平，以避免并发症的发生。例如，高血糖可能会引发糖尿病、心脏病、高脂血症等疾病。因此，早起空腹血糖测试是一个非常重要的健康检查项目。

in the second half Randle returned to action and recorded 56 yards rushing, an improvement over the 23 yards that Green managed in the first half.
While neither back put up stellar numbers, after the game Mangino said Randle gave the team a spark.
In the second half, the Jayhawks scored 18 points. Barmann completed a touchdown pass to sophomore cornerback and wide receiver Charles Gordon, and then Barmann rushed for one as well.
While Beck missed the first point after attempt after the first touchdown, he kicked a 20-yard field goal in the third quarter to

"No question about it, the defense was fantastic. It's the kind of defense that we need to play here." Mangino said. "Our defense, that's the kind of consistency we need every week. That's how we build this program in the long run: with great defense, opportunistic offense and solid special teams."
Senior defensive end David McMillan has been with the team since he was a freshman. McMillan started all of the team's games on the defensive
line during the last two years, and played in 10 games his first season. McMillan can see the difference in the defense from last year.
"Our mindset was different to the fact that we knew we wanted to be better than we were last year," McMillan said.
Game Notes
- Kansas' 21-3 victory is the first time Kansas held a Division-IA opponent without a touchdown since the team defeated Missouri 21-0 during the '99 season
Kansas has not won a home opener since the last home opener of the Terry Allen years. In 2001, Kansas beat Southwest Missouri State 24-10.

"In the second half, that's the worst I've seen a Kansas team play in probably three years. We were absolutely horrendous," Francis said. "That's the only word for it."

In the second half, St. Louis kicked five more shots on goal,
Just shy of the 34-minute mark of the first half, Cauzillo netted her second goal of the season. This goal came off a pass from senior Lauren Williams, giving her two assists for the season.

but was not able to get them through the net. Miller saved four of those shots, and brought her save total to six for the game. St. Louis had two other shots that hit the goal posts.
Miller collected her recordtying fourth-straight shutout and earned Defensive MVP and All-Tournament Team honors for the tournament. Cauzillo's two goals in the tournament earned her a spot on the All-Tournament Team and Offensive MVP accolades.
In the 66th minute of the game, sophomore defender Holly Gault hooked up with senior forward Rachel Gilfillan for Gilfillan's first goal and Gault's first assist of the season to bring the final score to 2-0.
"it's great to get four in a row,
but these guys deserve all the
credit," Miller said. "I just stand back there and dive here, dive there. They're the ones that put it away up top; they're the ones batting out for there at 90 minutes."
Francis was more content with the team's performance against St. Louis, but knew that the team must keep working.
"We were a lot more focused," he said. "They were pretty determined to come and play and turn it around, and I thought it was a lot better than Friday. I think there's still some things we've got to work on, but obviously, it's the fourth game of the season, so we've still got a long way to go."
The Kansas women will head to Greenville, S.C., this weekend to play Furman University and Clemson University in the Furman Tournament. The team will have its hands full with a Clemson team that has already beat Big 12 powerhouses Texas and Texas A&M by a combined 5-1.

Senate to look at funds
Committees will decide how much, where to allocate funds
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
francoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate Committees will decide tonight whether $104,505 of legislation will be voted on by Senate next week. Eight of the bills the committees will review are for more than $1,000.
"This might be the most expensive cycle of legislation I've ever seen," said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Arthur Jones, student executive chair, said he expected the bills for general funding to pass easily, but the larger bills would require more scrutiny and debate.
The largest bill will be $45,551 to help fund wireless Internet on campus. Though the bill is sponsored by 40 senators, both student committee members and student senators will decide if this bill will pass. Funds for the wireless Internet will come out of the reserve account.
The Senate's reserve account has about $550,000. Each year, unused money from the unallocated account goes to the reserve account. The unallocated account, which is used to fund student groups and speakers, is made up of a portion of the student activity fee.
According to Senate rules, funds for the reserve account are used for projects that will benefit a substantial population of the student body and will make an impact on campus.
www.kansan.com
Dunlap, Leawood senior, said he expect more projects to be funded by the reserve account this year because he had asked the student senators to create projects that would be worthy of those funds.
Committee members will revisit two previously tabled bills. The committees will reconsider allocating funds to the KU lugging Club and to Bill Cosby.
Because Cosby was planned after the Homecoming committee scheduled Bill Rancic from The Apprentice to speak, Student Senate will probably only fund Rancic, said Jones, Dallas junior. He said he didn't think Senate would fund both speakers for Homecoming because it has traditionally funded only one.
Most of the legislation coming through the committee meetings consist of general funding student groups, but an unusual bill for the KU Sports Career Club will ask for $250 to buy collared shirts for its members in addition to $200 for general funding. The club informs students who are interested in sports about opportunities in sport-related careers.
Another group, the KUTV Production club, will ask for $7,200 to pay for electronic equipment. Jones said this was more money than Senate usually allocated to one club. The KUTV Production club produces programs such as Evil Kansas and Out of Focus.
Dunlap, Leawood senior, said some student senators may have a "knee-jerk reaction" when they saw how much money the bills request.
"The bigger ones are going to be scrutinized," he said.

Today is the final day students will be able to cancel a class or drop it online.
Enrollment coordinator Brian Hanabay said there were two parts to today's deadline. He said today was the last day students could cancel a class without receiving a withdrawal on their transcripts. The dropped class will not appear on their transcripts.
He said today was also the last day students could drop a class online through Enroll and Pay. In order to do so, students must go to Enroll and Pay, then click on the link for Learner Services, Academics, Enroll in a Class, 2004 Fall, Drop/Update classes and then click submit.

After today, Hanabury said, students who wished to drop a class would receive a "W" for the class. Students would need to fill out a Drop card and bring it to the Enrollment Center in 151C Strong Hall. He said students could drop a class and receive a "W" on their transcripts until Wednesday, Oct. 27.
After that deadline, in order to drop a class, students would need to have their instructors sign the drop card and assign a grade of "W" or "F" at their discretion, said Hanabury.
Hanabury said students who missed today's deadline because of extenuating circumstances could petition their schools to cancel the class.
The last day to drop a class is the last day of classes; Thursday, Dec. 9.
If students have any questions, they can contact the Enrollment Center by phone at 864-5462 or go in person to 151C Strong Hall.

Virus risk grows as summer fades
BY ANAMDA O'TOOLE
autole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Though the staff of Watkins Memorial Health Center hasn't diagnosed the West Nile Virus yet this year, five students have been tested since school began. Myra Strother, Watkins chief of staff, said. Strother said she believed some students had been infected by the virus and may not have realized it.
As common a sight as mosquito bites are in late summer, the itch that accompanies them may be the least of the problem.
With mosquito activity at its peak in the late summer, students and Lawrence residents are more at risk for West Nile than at any other time during the year. As a result, Strother said she expected to see more cases of West Nile before fall brings cooler temperatures and fewer mosquitoes.
Strother said about 20 percent of those infected with the virus experience symptoms of a severe headache, nausea, swollen glands and muscle weakness.
"It's rather inevitable that some students have been exposed to it and will be infected by it before the mosquitoes get frozen out," Strother said.
She said there was no set treatment for West Nile because it is a virus.
Watson suggests using mosquito repellents containing about 23 percent DEET — an effective ingredient of bug spray — and avoiding outdoor activity at dawn and dusk.
That is why officials from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said it was important for students to "fight the bite."
The best way to treat the virus is to prevent bites, said Sharon Watson, public information director for the department.
One out of every five people infected with the West Nile Virus progress to
encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. Severe cases can lead to seizures and problems with vision.
Barbara Schnitker, director of nurses for Douglas County Health Department, said older adults were more likely to develop severe forms of the virus, but students were just as vulnerable to the disease as any other person.
The virus, which originated in Egypt in the '50s and appeared in the United States in 1999, is spread to humans through mosquitoes that obtained the virus by biting an infected bird or horse.
SEE WEST NILE ON PAGE 2A
TIPS FOR AVOIDING MOSQUITO BITES
Avoid being outdoors at dawn or dusk when mosquito activity is highest.
Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and socks outdoors at peak mosquito hours.
Use insect repellents that are 20 to 30 percent DEET.
Make sure screens are "bug tight."
Eliminate stagnant water by removing children's wading pools or any debris that could hold water.

What happens if we've got a conflict between academic obligations and a religious holiday? The first and best step to take is to consult your professor, so that you can work out a solution together. If you can't work out a mutually acceptable agreement, you can always consult the University Umbudsman (785) 864-3506. The official rules about holidays are as follows:
University Senate Rules and Regulations.
Article I. Section 4. (1.4.3):
"Examinations and tests other than final examinations should not be scheduled in conflict with mandated religious observances. In order to ascertain in a given class if a scheduled examination conflicts with a mandated religious observance, at the beginning of the semester the instructor shall ask students who may be affected to identify themselves privately so that a make-up examination may be scheduled at a mutually acceptable time."
Breeder takes flight in St. Joe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. JOSEPH, Mo.- Jon Carr remembered a time growing up when it seemed everyone in St. Joseph raised pigeons.
pigeons "We used to ride all over town and look at all the pigeons people had," Carr said.
Now Carr has taken up raising pigeons again. Only this time he calls them pure white racing homers.
He and his daughter-in-law Beth Carr have recently started a partnership called Beth's Wedding Doves.
the duo trains and displays white doves for release at weddings, funerals and other special occasions. It is an aesthetic service for those who want a special and memorable touch for their events, said Carr.
The idea for a dove-release business began almost a year ago when Carr was surfing the Internet looking for information on his boyhood hobby of raising pigeons.
he works part-time as a teacher's alde at Skiah School, and he needed something else to fill his days.
something he noticed that the dove release businesses were mostly concentrated on the east and west coasts. He found only a few in his state; he found none in Northwest Missouri.
That prompted Carr to call his daughter-in-law with the idea of starting a business together.
"All I wanted to do was raise birds and I said, 'can we do business if I train the birds and you handle the weddings and all that stuff?' " Carr said.
Beth Carr had lost her job as a flight attendant when Vanguard Airlines ceased operations two years earlier.
She saw it as the perfect opportunity to work and stay home with her two children, 3-year-old Spencer and 7-month-old Sydnee.
"I thought about that and I said maybe I was meant to work with things that fly." she said.
So Carr sent off and got his first birds, nine of them, in March. By June they where ready for their first outing, a fund-raiser walk for the Samaritan Center.
Recently they did a wedding in Oregon, Mo., Carr said.
"Oregon's about 35 miles from here. An hour after they let them go I was sitting here on the deck and they dropped in." Carr said.
The Carrs are also scheduled to do a release with the new St. Joseph Public Library building that opens Sent. 12.
He also said that people could rest assured their birds are well taken care of. They take special precautions for their care by limiting them to a 50 to 75 mile radius around the St. Joseph area.
Currently the business has 22 doves. Carr said they would like to have about 100 and are now breeding their own.
"We never release them after dark, indoors or in a storm. We care about them getting home safely," Carr said.

Basic Studies students show work at campus show
BY AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Looking around the Art and Design Gallery, Kelsey Yankey remembered her freshman year in Drawing 1.
"Some people had never sat down and drawn still life before this class," Yankey, Leon senior, said.
The gallery shows just how quickly last year's freshmen learned.
Sara Rochford, gallery director and coordinator of the Basic Studies program in the department of art, said the exhibition included the best work by last year's freshman class.
The gallery, on the third floor of the Art and Design Building, will showcase works by about 50 undergraduate students nominated for Basic Studies scholarships. The art will be on display until Friday.
The artwork on display, selected by art and design faculty, includes students' drawings and design projects and provides a good opportunity for this year's new Basic Studies students to observe and reflect on the creative work that lies ahead, Rochford said.
Yankey said students learned to use acrylics, charcoal and gesso — a plaster and glue base — in their drawings.
"It's all about the contrast." Yunkey, painting major, said.
The exhibit attracted the attention of Barb Corley, Eskridge senior.
She said students would practice drawing in three-hour blocks of time for the class, spending 30 to 45 minutes on each work.
"They learn basic drawing skills with different media," said Corley, interior design major.

Yankey said students put a lot of time into the more complex design projects.
"It's your life for about a week." Yankey said.
The exhibit opens weekdays at 8:30 a.m. The show will close at 4:30 p.m. today, 9:00 p.m. on Thursday and 13:50 p.m. on Friday. There is no charge for admission.

Student voters: choose or lose
BY ANDY HYLAND

Two greek organizations set out last week to prove that KU students care more about the political process than most young people.
Anthony Brown, Grandview, Mo., senior and president of Alpha Phi Alpha, helped run a voter registration drive that ended last Friday on Wescoe Beach. The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority also helped with the effort.
Brown said they registered about 300 voters during the week. The drive was part of an ongoing, University-wide effort.
ister voters last Thursday
"The people that don't vote are in our age group, from 18 to 35," he said.
She called the effort a success.
Nicole Thomas, Kansas City, Kan., junior and president of Alpha Kappa Alpha, helped reg-
"For some people, they don't see the importance of voting if they've never voted before," she said. "Hopefully, if they see other students registering to vote, it will remind them that they need to vote."
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, junior and community affairs director for Student Senate, said the new numbers would be included in the overall figures for the Student Legislative Awareness Board's voter registration figures.
This recent voter registration effort by Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha will complement the 50 registrations SLAB was able to get during Hawk Week. Boots said.
"So far, the numbers are looking better than in the past," he said. "It looks like we're ahead
of schedule."
He said that it was important for students to register if they had not already.
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said voter registration drives on campus were especially useful for out-of-state students.
"The more people we get to registered to vote, the more we get legislators to listen to young people's concerns."
Uiger said out-of-state voters moved to the University and often didn't find the time to file a change-of-address form so they could vote in Lawrence.
Boots said that any students interested in registering to vote could contact the SLAB office or go to the University's Web site, http://www.ku.edu, and click the "Register to Vote" button on the right side of the screen.

Lawrence and Eutin keep 40 year relationship alive
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Approximately 40 years after students from the University of Kansas began studying in Eutin, Germany, the relationship between Eutin and Lawrence remains strong as students from both cities continue to visit one another.
Last night, eight exchange students from Eutin stood in front of the city commission and introduced themselves. Some of them spoke of wanting to improve their English and see the United States, while others spoke of enjoying hobbies such as playing sports, acting and reading. Eutin, located in northern Germany, officially became
Lawrence's first Sister City on Oct. 27, 1989.
The relationship between Eutin and Lawrence extended from the University to Lawrence High School and Lawrence Free State High School. It was beneficial to view another culture by going outside of your own country, said Bill Keel, professor and chairman of KU Germanic language and literatures.
"It's often a life-changing event," he said.
In other city commission news, a land use cooperation agreement between Lawrence and the University was sent back to the planning commission.
Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said the city had a long-term practice of not enforcing zoning laws on the
University. Zoning is where land use is determined by categorizing that land as residential, commercial or industrial. The city and the University were working towards a compromise, said Dennis Highberger, city commissioner.
Under the land use agreement, a boundary of the University's primary campus would be established. The University would have to follow all city land-use regulations for all property outside of this boundary. The agreement also set up a 150-foot buffer zone that the University would have to consult the city on any new construction the University planned on conducting.

Effects of political protests never sure bet
The foundation of our country is built on basic human rights. All are of equal importance, though expressions of two of those rights have been in the news frequently as of late: freedoms of speech and assembly.
of speech and assembly With an estimated 500,000 demonstrators in New York City voicing their displeasure with the Bush administration, one can fully comprehend what it means to voice your opinion. However, the protestors are playing a risky game.
tors are playing a vital game. Organized demonstrations and protests can be linked to vital successes for rights. Both the women's suffrage and civil rights movements held protests and marches, and today women have the right to vote along with other crucial rights. It can't be argued that such a method of action is wrong, for without them, such vital legislation would never have been passed.
The possible success of the protesters in New York hinged on one singular detail: violence. Luckily, there was no fog of rage obscuring the voices of those speaking out against President Bush and the Republican party. If a massive outbreak of violence had occurred, protesters would have defeated their cause, sending a message of blind anger rather than organized opposition. They could have shown the world that they were just as irreverent as the government they wish to change, but instead they were relatively well-behaved, even with some small pockets of violence.
Despite how well the protestors behaved themselves, demonstrations can have unclear consequences. Recently, columnists in papers
around the country have brought the protests of 1968 against the war in Vietnam to the forefront as an example of unclear results. Even after nearly 40 years, no one knows if the protests led to the end of our nation's involvement in the southeastern Asian country, or led to the election of Republican candidate Richard Nixon, who furthered the war effort and was nearly impeached for shady campaign tactics.
The results sought by the demonstrators are well-intended: an improved foreign policy, better national healthcare, better education, and no internal threats upon basic rights. Much like previous documented demonstrations, they believe they are fighting for a just cause. However, though they may interpret their protests as successes, it will be the nation that decides that in November.
Such a massive show of opposition to the current government could bring others to Democratic nominee Senator John Kerry's camp, or it could galvanize Bush's campaign for re-election. There is no way of knowing how the protests will be received by the general public, and thus there is the risk that the exact opposite of what the protestors wants occurs, that they get the response they desire, or even that their actions do nothing whatsoever.
With the Republican National Convention finished, all we can do is wait for the next two months to pass until the last ballot is counted and reported. The true victor of the past week in New York George Bush or his protesters — will then be known by the public.

Making out may not be a racy topic, but I recently realized that I haven't talked about it since the 10th grade.
talked about. In college we have become interested in more salacious topics including intercourse of all varieties. However, I've encountered enough horrible kissers in the past year to warrant this review session, your "Junior High Make-Out Revival Guide."
SEX 101
Make-out biology: When two people kiss the hormone oxytocin is released within the brain. According to a University of Virginia article, oxytocin promotes lactation in mothers, but also promotes feelings of bonding and kinship. When you make out your brain is releasing a chemical that makes you feel bonded to your make-out buddy. Oxytocin also gives you that all-over happy feeling.
Make-out compatibility: The genesis of this article came from a conversation with one of my good friends, Danny. We talked about how kissing can either be really good or bad depending on the person. He claims that $90\%$ of good kissing is lip compatibility, meaning, each person has a distinct style of kissing. No matter how much you like a person, if their kissing style doesn't match yours, well, sorry. Lip compatibility is important, but technique and gusto have a lot to do with it. I was involved — I use the term loosely — with a guy for a period of time, who had

wonderful, full, sensual lips, yet never used his lips nor did he open his mouth widely. What should have been a magical melding of lips was ruined by a lack of confidace.
ideal make-out conditions: Sorry, but it's got to be sober. (Maybe ecstasy if you really want to be weird.) Any level of intoxication may lower your inhibitions, but it also severely limits your pleasure and performance. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant; it may cause a loss of coordination (i.e. tongue) and make you interpret pain and pleasure improperly. It'll cause you to make out with the ugly chick or dude.
My study in Make-out: In order to have a better perspective, I took an informal survey of about 20 McCollum Residents. I asked all of them: "what can ruin good a make out?" For the most part they agreed: slobber. No one wants to make out with Wet-Mouthed Suzy so keep your saliva in check. Swallow. Other faux pas included too
much tongue, unresponsiveness, licking the nose, beard burn and hickies. But the most impassioned response was from Gina Ford, Washington, D.C., sophomore, who claimed "Don't kiss and talk. You are not a multi-tasker." No one wants a conversation; they just want your sweet loving.
What's good make-out: This varies from person to person, but being responsive and sensual makes a great make-out session. I always come in with moderate lip work and a little tongue. If the person is enjoying it, I slowly become more and more aggressive until we're in full make-out mode. (Unless I'm drunk, then it all goes out the window.) Another technique that works well is lip teasing. When your partner goes for the kiss, quickly kiss them and pull back or temptingly bite their lower lip lightly and pull back. Anticipation only makes things sweeter.
Most of all have fun, be creative and don't slobber. On one final note, be careful. You can get oral herpes from making out. It's true. And according to the American Social Health Association about half the population has it. Don't be a lip trump or you'll get some nice cold sores. I hope that gave you some better insight into the lovely lip world, and I'm done.

Terror war alters history, language
As the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks approaches, America is still fighting a war on terror. Though that day's events instigated this war as an official, capital "W" War in the eyes of Americans, the term has a longer histo-
The phrase "war on terrorism" was first used in the 1940s to describe Britain's reaction to a rash of terrorist attacks in Palestine, which was under British mandate at the time. It has been used off and on since then to describe other anti-terrorism efforts.
LANGUAGE RULES!
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART
opinion@kansen.com
President Reagan spoke of a "war on terrorism" when he discussed the international desire to reduce terrorist activity '80s. Even then, Reagan meant "war on terrorism" just as other generations had their wars on drugs and poverty. It is war in a figurative sense; War that focuses on education and outreach rather than military response.
Today's war on terror is different. Political leaders consider this war to be more than just a decades-old rhetorical phrase renewed for convenience; it is the defining struggle of an era and reason enough for military force.
On a linguistic level, the word "terror" has expanded in meaning and usage. It is more extreme, vague and complex. On the evening of Sept. 11, President Bush reintroduced the idea of "the war against terrorism" in a national address. This concept was an apo
counting.
The Sept. 11 attacks, like many acts of terrorism, didn't give Americans an easy way to respond. The idea of a war being understandable — something that can be fought and won against a defined enemy
Ideologically, terrorism is not something that most Americans feel comfortable supporting. But the word terror carries so much weight that Americans feel they can't support terror and find it difficult to condemn the war against it. Can you be pro terror if you are not anti-terror? Are you anti-terror only if you support the war against terror?

you support, the war is over. In a similar vein, because of the strategic naming of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, people who do not agree with the government's approach may look like they do not support freedom.
Words like "terror" and "freedom" have been used so frequently in the post 9/11 era that they have morphed into linguistic monsters. No longer confined to narrow dictionary definitions, their meanings have expanded to include all the emotions and experiences people associate with them, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11.
When words break away from dictionary definitions and gain secondary meaning, scholars consider them to be "loaded." The secondary meaning is probably ambiguous or it carries multiple emotional or opinion-based connotations. It is difficult to separate one's personal beliefs from dictionary definitions, which is why loaded words are so common in the English language.
"Terror" no longer means just extreme fear in American rhetoric, it means "extreme fear" plus the memories and emotions associated with Sept. 11 and the battles that have been fought in its aftermath.
Even though the idea of a war against terror and terrorism is not new, it is shaping the attitudes of modern citizens more than ever.

'Hawks await Toledo's tough QB
www.kansan.com
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
colaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Toledo Rockets may have been destroyed by the Minnesota Gophers last weekend, losing 63-21, but by no stretch was their offense unproductive.
The Rockets racked up more than 400 yards in total offense — in part thanks to the efforts of quarterback Bruce Gradkowski.
I
Against Minnesota,
Gradkowski was 19-30 for 202 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions.
GRADKOWSKI
"The score of their game against Minnesota does not indicate the type of football team that they are," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino. "They have an outstanding quarterback."
Gradkowski was named in the preseason as one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. After completing 72 percent of his passes last year, he's getting his share of attention from this year's post-season award watch lists. ESPN.com lists him as a potential Heisman candidate, and he's also expected to compete for the Davey O'Brien award that goes to the nation's top quarterback.
"I'm not sure in the warm-ups we complete 72 percent of our passes, so that's pretty impressive." Mangino said.
Last season, Gradkowski was nearly perfect as he passed for 29 touchdowns with just seven interceptions in only his first season as the Rockets' starting quarterback.
"I'm focusing on being a leader more this year since I have one season under my belt," Gradkowski said. "I'm trying to do anything to make our team better as a whole."
Once again, the Jayhawks will face a quarterback who is his team's primary offensive weapon. However,
Gradkowski is a different kind of quarterback than Tulsa's James Kilian, as Gradkowski is more of a pocket passer.
"When you get in the situation when it's a shojiun snap, he gets rid of the ball like a second baseman turning a double play. I mean, it's gone," Mangino said.
Gradkowski is also dangerous on the ground. Last season, he was the team's second leading rusher. He totaled more than 500 yards rushing and ran for one touchdown.
"He's a guy who is a pretty good athlete, and he has good feet," Mangino said. "They are not going to run him a lot, but they run him enough to keep you honest."
The Kansas defense will have to play like it did last week if it wishes to stop Gradkowski. That means getting a lot of pressure on the quarterback. In the season-opener against Tulsa, the defense totaled six sacks and held Kilian to just 91 vars passing.
"We do all kinds of different things." Gradkowski said. "We'll line up sometimes with three or four tight ends and that's what makes this offense so fun. It's great to have the chance to switch to different formations so our opponents don't know what's coming."
TESTER WICHITA
ership qualities." Mangino said. "You can tell that he is in charge of the offense out there."
Toledo's offense is modeled after Gradkowski's strenghts. The Rockets run a spread offense, which gives Gradkowski a variety of options from the pocket.
It.
Gradkowski said Toledo liked to range formations often, a tactic signed to make it more difficult for defense to react.
"His throwing ability is unbelievable," said junior Kansas linebacker Gabriel Toomey. "It's going to be a big challenge, but I think we will be ready for it."

Senior guard Keith Langford and Kansan Sports columnist Ryan Greene faced off in a best of five game of H-O-R-S-E. Despite coming directly from weight training, Langford beat Greene in four straight games.
Reality television is addictive. This is a proven fact.
I don't consider myself an addict, but it's hard to deny the sheer joy of watching others have their feelings spit on. It makes you feel better about yourself, and no one can deny this. Whether it's The Real World or, my personal favorite, Growing Up Gotti, it's all the same.
All this talk about reality television in my Principles of Broadcasting class got me thinking: Why not incorporate some reality into the Jean Short Madness?
This week's episode involves me, Keith Langford, and an epic battle in a driveway classic for any American mouth.
Believe it or not, Keith and I do share some similarities.
We are both journalism majors, we both idolized Michigan point guard Jalen Rose growing up, and, well, yeah that's about it.
When comparing us in basketball terms, he's Goliath and I'm David's afro-cladded stepchild. He is one of the top players on a perennial National Championship contender and has played in two Final Fours. Shoot, this guy dropped 19 points and guarded Carmelo Anthony in the title game, while I rarely even play anymore.
Off the court, he's also a hell of a guy. With that said, I was not surprised when he accepted my challenge two weeks ago. The contest: A best-of-five series of H-O-R-S-E, with the only rule being no dunking, for obvious reasons.
I'll admit, for a guy who hadn't played basketball in more than a
month, I was pretty confident when I showed up to play Keith last Wednesday. About a week earlier I came to the conclusion that there was no shot I could make that Keith was not capable of. But on this day, there were a few factors swinging in my favor.
Keith had just arrived from a weight-lifting session, so he could have had some lingering fatigue. Also, we were playing in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center because the women's basketball team was practicing in Allen
Fieldhouse. This eliminated the problem of the depth perception that occurs with thousands of empty seats staring at you through the backboard. Plus, though I'm a good five inches shorter than Langford, I'm a damn good shooter. I've won many a neighborhood three-point contest in my day.
For Keith, he had the intimidation part down. Earlier in the day he passed me in Stauffer-Flint Hall and shot me the "your ass is mine, Greene" line. Plus, to be blunt, it's freakin' Keith
Langford. What the hell was I thinking?
Langford. We waited.
After we entered the court and had a couple warm-up shots and some small talk, we shot three-pointers from the top of the key to decide who would shoot first. After we each missed our first attempt, I swished one. But, as it would become a growing theme over the next 40 minutes, Keith did just the same. Keith ultimately won the honors for first shot.

Henrickson optimistic for new season
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
For women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson, the message and focus of the off-season is clear.
Kansas compiled a 9-19 record last year, including a 2-14 mark in the Big 12, and has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2000. In February 2004, former coach Marian Washington announced her retirement after 31 years
The expectations set forth by the former Virginia Tech coach promise to bring change to a program desperately in need of jt.
"We all came here to win at the highest level," Henrickson said of the entire coaching staff.
In her first year as head coach at Virginia Tech in 1997-98, she engineered a miraculous turnaround. A team that ended the previous season with a 10-21 record became a 22-10 team that won the Atlantic 10 conference title. During her seven years as head coach, Virginia Tech was 158-62, averaging 23 victories per season. During her tenure, the Hokies made five NCAA and two WNIT tournament appearances.
With a record of success preceding her arrival in Lawrence, the community has openly embraced the new coach and the possibility for rebritt in the women's basketball program.
and left a vacancy on the Jayhawk bench.
Enter Bonnie Henrickson
In a show of encouragement, more than 225 people attended the annual welcome back picnic held at the Douglas County fairgrounds on Aug. 29. The Athletics Department is in the process of putting together a TV schedule for the Jayhawks to satisfy increasing demand.
"People have been very warm and very vocal in their support," Henrickson said.
Since arriving at Kansas, Henrickson and her staff have been working to change the direction and attitude of the program to return enthusiasm to Kansas women's basketball.
"I wanted to make sure I communicated clearly our vision," Henrickson said of her arrival in Lawrence. "I just wanted to move forward and get back
--on campus."
Assistant coaches Karen Lange and Katie O'Connor also left Virginia Tech to come to Kansas with Henrickson.
"We're all going to go or we're not going to go." Henrickson said of the verbal pact she made with Lanue and O'Connor before accepting the Kansas job. "They've been instrumental in the growth of our program there, and I wouldn't build this by myself."
Once the coaching staff signed on as Jayhawks, Henrickson immediately started to mold the program in a style seen previously at Virginia Tech.

Athletes deserve 'credit'
SEVENTH INNING STRETCH
SEVENTH FAMILY STRETCH
ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
As much as I would like to disagree with anything coming from K-State. In this case I can't — give letter grades and/or class credit for varsity sport participation is a fair and smart practice.
In last Monday's University Daily Kansan, columnist Ryan Greene explored the reasoning behind giving actual classroom credit, or letter grades, for varsity team participation.
In some ways I agree strongly with him; in other ways I don't. He suggested that giving out credit for varsity sport participation as it is done at Kansas is fair, while giving letter grades for the same thing is not.
K-State is one of the schools who give out letter grades for student-atheletes enrolled in their sport.
My response to this: That's it? Not even half the Division I-A football schools give any sort of academic credit to athletes who bust their butts and hit the books day after day.
I'm not just talking about letter grades, because it's pretty rare to receive an actual A, B or C, but that policy should become more common.
Of the 117 Division I-A football schools that The Washington Post evaluated, almost three dozen schools award academic credit in the same manner as K-State.
Other schools may just give credit that will count toward the number of hours a player must take per semester to be eligible to play.
That's the policy K-State uses. Institutions such as Brigham Young University, Florida State University, University of Georgia, University of Nebraska, Ohio State University and Penn State University follow the same type of procedure.
Kansas uses the "pass-fail" method. Student-athletes enroll in a one-hour course where they are granted a pass or fail grade. The grade is based on their participation in HSES 104: Strength and Conditioning.
Any way you look at it, I not only think it is fair, but well-deserved for athletes to receive this credit.
According to The Post, NCAA President Myles Brand said he would be surprised and worried to learn that student-athletes weren't earning credit for their efforts.
Surprised? Are you serious? Eleven of the top 25 preseason-ranked football teams' schools have such situations, and officials are surprised by what's going on?
What really gets to me is that no one seems to know about this.
Teams such as Nebraska and Ohio State, both football powerhouses, award credit like this, yet it seems to only be surfacing now.
Yes, a traditional classroom setting is where tests are taken and grades handed out. But aren't these athletes learning in practice?
I wonder why they are being secreteive. These athletes easily work double the time in their sports than in the classroom, but they are expected to excel in both.
Of course a letter grade should be awarded or, at the very least, some sort of credit.
This isn't just a "benefit" system available only to football players. At schools with similar policies to that of K-State, all varsity sports and activities such as athletic training, band, theater and ROTC programs, are eligible.
Above all else, it's the education these student-athletes receive on the field or court that is incomparable to that of a typical classroom, but is how these students show their A+ work.

Student's innocence on thin ice
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. - Katie Wolfmeyer was "just a pawn," in former St. Louis Blues player Mike Danton's murder-for-hire plot, Wolfmeyer's attorney said yesterday.
Opening statements and testimony began in the trial for Wolfmeyer, the 19-year-old suburban St. Louis woman who prosecutors accuse of being Danton's accomplice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Clark said Wolfmeyer was a willing participant in the plot. The trial is expected to last six days. Wolfmeyer faces federal charges of conspiring to arrange a murder for hire and using a telephone across state lines to arrange it.
Danton already has pleaded guilty and faces sentencing Oct. 22. Judge William Stiehl has ruled that Danton does not have to testify against Wolfmeyer.
Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
Prosecutors said Danton tried to hire a hit man for $10,000 in April to kill his agent, David Frost, at Danton's suburban St. Louis apartment. The two men had argued over Danton's "promiscuity and use of alcohol," and Danton feared Frost would talk to Blues management, authorities said.
Frost was not hurt and has maintained he was not the intended target
wolfmeyer, a college student and athlete, also worked at the St. Louis Mills mall, where the Blues have a practice rink. She met Danton there in March and the two began to date.
Among those out with Wolfmeyer that night was Justin Levi Jones. Clark said Wolfmeyer gave the cell phone to Jones, who was approached about the killing by Danton. The two spoke again later that night on Jones' cell phone, and Jones began taping the conversations. Clark said. He alleged that Danton suggested the killing be set up to look like a botched burglary at Danton's apartment, where Frost was staying.
Clark told jurors that Wolfmeyer was partying with friends on the night of April 14, though she was not drinking, when she received cell phone calls from Danton, who was with the Blues in San Jose, Calif., for a playoff game. He allegedly asked if she knew of anyone who could help carry out a plot.
jones, a police dispatcher from Illinois, notified Columbia, Ill., police, who alerted the FBI.
"The evidence will show (Wolfmeyer) contributed to a murder-for-hire plot so she could continue an affair ... with Mike Danton," Clark said.
But Wolfmeyer's attorney, Art Margulis, said Wolfmeyer did not know Danton was engaging her in a murder-for-hire plot, realizing it only after she drove Jones to the apartment.
"Our evidence will be that Katie was just a pawn." Margulis said.
Danton allegedly told Wolfmeyer a false cover story that he needed her help getting rid of someone who was trying to kill him over a debt, according to the criminal complaint.
Chad Reynolds (left), Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, and Cole Robinson (right), Prairie Village junior, both scramble for a loose ball while playing sand volleyball last night. Fall intramural sports have been in full swing since the season began last week.
Danton spent the 2003-04 season with St. Louis, but was not re-signed.

Sports bring family of athletes together; 'a dream come true'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABILENE, Kan. — When one team calls for "coach" it has no better meaning than with the Willey family.
Mark Willey is head coach of the Abilene Middle School football team and his top assistants are his brother, Michael, and father, Dan. Mark Willey's son, Marcus, is a ball boy for the eighth-grade team.
The toughest moments working together brings about quick laughter and a familiar Willey smile.
"The hardest part is being called Coach Willey and who answers to it." Mark said. "I'm coach Willey. Dad is Motor (a reference to a college coach who liked Dan's attitude) and Michael is Coach M.T."
In the classroom Dan Willey is known as Mr. Willey Sr.
For Dan Willey it is a dream come true.
He remembers in 1996 while taking a human relations class that he put down an answer that he hoped someday he could work together with his sons.
"Sometimes dreams do come true." Dan said.
Even then, his dream was not fulfilled until, less than a month ago. Until recently, Michael was in Hays, where he planned to continue to work as a substitute teacher and coach.
However, he was offered an opportunity to be a physical education teacher in the Abilene district. The answer was easy.
Mark, 34, is in his fourth year at Abilene Middle School. The three Willeys will call the defense. On offense, the decisions rest on Mark's shoulders.
He will expect recommendations from his dad and brother, Mark said.
but adds that is what any head coach would expect.
"We're no different than any other coaching staff." Mark said.
Dan Willey said he read a story about the Emporia State University football program where the Wiemens family works together, yet David is the head coach and his father serves as an assistant at the pleasure of his son.
Dan Willey, 60, spent 12 years of coaching — six at Raytown, Mo., and six at Clay Center — before settling in this area. Dan Willey, who for years was a fixture in the Pearl elevator, substituted in the Abilene district and that piqued his interest into being an assistant coach. Abilene Middle School principal Ron Wilson had asked Dan Willey about helping with the program.
"When we added seventh-grade football, we knew we were going to add to the coaching staff," Mark said.
The Willeys have played together in competitive softball tournaments and golf tournaments, among other activities.
He likes what his dad and brother bring to the staff. His dad played college football at Bethey College in Lindsborg, Michael, now 30, played tennis at Fort Hays State University and Mark played college basketball there.
As a result, they all bring different experiences, which will mean different approaches to solving problems, a great asset to any coaching staff, Mark said.
All three said they believe their competiteness will bring out the best in their players, just like they learned in their high school days.
"We're all competitors," Mark said. "That's the biggest thing, and we want what is best for the kids."
Mark and Michael played high school football under Paul Dennis and top assistant Greg Wade, who became head coach after Dennis retired after the 1992 season.
"In all my coaching I tried to incorporate my own thinking," Mark said, adding that he took important lessons from Dennis and Wade that he teaches to his student-athletes.
"We are very competitive on the field and we are gentlemen off the field," he said.
Michael said one of his role models is current high school coach Rex Cearley, who was Michael's middle school coach in the late 1980s.
"That was such a positive experience for me," Michael said. "You wanted to position yourself so that as you advanced in each grade you improved. We are the first step now and we want to keep participation high."
Coaching at the eighth-grade level is ideal for the Willeys.
"This is the perfect age. They'll do everything you ask at full speed," Mark said. "It has been a blast."
"You get to start them out with good habits in practice and in four years we'll get to see how it turns out," Michael said.
Enjoying sports has brought the family a lot of joy for many years, Mark said.
"Athletics have played a huge part in our family. You can learn a lot through athletics," Mark said.
"Athletics teach you about the ups and downs of life and that whether you win or lose, you have to handle it all with class."
Coaching sports is one way the Willeys believe they can help serve their community.
"We all want to give back to the community," Dan said. "I know I want to give back."

Royals hitter a nightmare for the Tigers
DETROIT — Dee Brown has no idea why he's been so successful against the Detroit Tigers throughout his career. Whatever the reason, he's sure to be in the starting lineup whenever the Kansas City Royals play them.
Brown has six career homers against Detroit and just eight against the rest of the majors. He's homered twice against the Twins, and once each against six teams.
Brown had his first career two-homer game and drove in four runs to lead the Royals to a 6-2 victory Tuesday night.
"I don't know if I just see the ball well here or what _ it is a really big ballpark." Brown said. "It's better this year, but their pitching hasn't been very good in the past."
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Serrano, who hadn't pitched since Aug. 28, walked the first two batters he faced, but only allowed one more baserunner.
Jimmy Serrano (1-1) picked up his first major league victory with three scoreless innings of relief, helping the Royals win for just the fifth time in 16 games.
Royals manager Tony Pena doesn't have an explanation either, but plans to ride the hot hand.
"I guess I better keep playing him against the Tigers," he said.
"That was exciting," he said. "I've got the ball and the scorecard."
Carlos Pena and Craig Monroe homered for the Tigers, who had their two-game winning streak end.

Sport, exercise offer a fun credit hour

KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
There are classes at the University of Kansas that allow you to get in better shape while attending class and earn credit toward graduation for bowling or learning how to shoot a rifle.
These classes can be found in the department of health, sport and exercise science.
Skill instruction classes are popular among students because of their athletic curriculums and the lure of an easily-filled semester hour.
Shane Solwar, Overland Park senior, needed to add one credit hour. His solution was to take a tennis class.
The department, part of the
Physical education classes can count for a maximum of four total hours toward graduation totals. The classes cover most sports and popular fitness routines including basketball, aerobics, tennis, sand volleyball, marksmanship and weight training.
School of Education, offers several classes labeled "HSES 108," which offers basic skill instruction for sports, activities and fitness programs. Most of the classes focus on either physical fitness or learning a new sport and are worth one credit hour.
For some students, the classes offer an opportunity to experience a new sport.
"I've watched tennis on TV, and I wanted to try it," said Jason Baker, Houston freshman. "And I had an extra hour to kill."
Another reason for enrolling in the course is the flexible time offerings, which give students a chance to fit in a good workout during their normal class schedule.
In addition to the academic and physical benefits, the interactive course structure offers an atmosphere unique to campus classes. Because of the social nature of sports, the classes are a great way to meet new people.
"It definitely gives me a pretty good aerobic workout," Solwar said of his class.
"I've been playing tennis for 10 years," said Chris Horn, Lenexa freshman and tennis student. "I wanted to find other people to play with at KU."

and skill, but were very disciplined and very fundamental," Henrickson said. "We held on to that teaching philosophy as we recruited a better athlete and a better player."
Recruiting was a top priority when Henrickson arrived in March, and the team quickly procured its first signee, freshman Jamie Boyd, who was named Iowa's 2004 Miss Basketball.
Although recruiting will be vital to the future growth of the program, the current team faces immediate roadblocks.
"Our biggest challenge will be our lack of size," Henrickson said. "We're awfully small."
At 6-foot-2, junior Crystal Kemp is the tallest player on the roster, and only three other players measure six feet tall. Depth coming off the bench will also present troubles for the Jayhawks, who come into the season with only 10 players on the roster.
faces, Henrickson will not make excuses.
Even with the limitations she
"We won't let what we don't have keep us from using what we do have," she said. "This year, we've just got to find ways to win basketball games."
The most important components of off-season preparation for Henrickson's team have been conditioning and practice. NCAA restrictions limit teams to holding small-group workouts, but Henrickson already has a good impression of her new team.
"There is a deep care for each other," she said. "They want to work hard for each other."
Through individual and smallgroup practices and weight training sessions, Henrickson has already made the first steps toward success for a team that has seen limited triumphs in the previous seasons.
"We've got to gain some strength. We've got to be in the best shape," she said. "With the numbers we have here, a lot of kids are going to play a lot of minutes."
With a new coach on board, returning players have made adjustments accordingly and are starting to see improvements.
Henrickson has kept her team focused on the small goals of everyday practice, but sees big things for the program in the future.
Although this year's schedule features the regular Big 12 slate in addition to tough non-conference games, the 18 home games should help Henrickson's squad adapt, said Jim Marchchony, associate athletics director.
"In five years, to win a Big 12 championship, I think that's reasonable."
Henrickson will not make any bold predictions about this year's squad, but she makes one guarantee.
"I can promise our fans and the people that support our program that we'll give great effort every night and we'll represent the program, win or lose, in a manner that it deserves to be."
Broncos, Chiefs preparing for opener
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER - The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are expected to be the favorites in the AFC West.
Edited by Paige Worthy
It won't take long to figure out which one is the front-runner since they open the season against each other on Sunday for the first time since 1997.
"I think it's good for us, definitely," Broncos cornerback Lenny Walls said. "I don't mind opening up against the Chiefs. We have to get them twice during the regular season and it doesn't really matter when we get them. I think it'll definitely be good to open up against them."
Cornerback Champ Bailey's first appearance as a member of the Broncos will be against the rival Chiefs, not that he cares.
"It doesn't matter who we play," Bailey said. "Just line me up against anybody. I'll play my best."
ELLISS AILING: The Broncos still aren't sure if defensive tackle Luther Elliss will be ready for Sunday's opener.
Elliss, who signed in the offseason, is still sore from an injured pectoral muscle.
"He is still sore and has a few days to find out — today is usually a day off," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "He is making some strides and it will probably be a game-time decision."
Walls and linebacker Jashon Sykes, who missed preseason games with injuries, are expected to play. Walls had ankle surgery early in camp and Sykes has been bothered by a sprained knee. They both played in the final preseason game Friday against Arizona.
"They both played well," Shanahan said. "It's very tough when you haven't played for a while to come in and look real good. I thought they played well for not practicing."
BAILEY'S BOREDOM:
Teams are so afraid of Bailey that often they won't throw the ball in his direction. It can become frustrating, but Bailey has a way to stay sharp.
"I just have to concentrate on each play, to concentrate on one play at a time and to think the ball is coming my way," Bailev said.
CHASING DANTE: The Broncos have had their share of trouble sticking with Chiefs receiver and kick returner Dante Hall, including a highlight reel punt return last season that was one of the plays of the year in the NFL.
No wonder they have such high regard for him.
"He is a little bit like a greased pig," Broncos defensive coordinator Larry Coyer said. "Sometimes if you are playing flag ball, you can't get the flag. He's really quick. He's competitive, really quick and competitive. That what we respect most about him."

Chiefs rely on new kickers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Steve Cheek is one rookie who is not afraid to admit he's a little nervous.
"Sure, to be honest with you," said Kansas City's new punter. "Absolutely. A little bit."
Cheek will not be alone in his jitters. A few Chiefs coaches and a city full of fans feel skittish about starting the season with both a punter and a place kicker who have never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.
Cheek, who has been in four different training camps without winning a roster spot, was given his job almost by default. He turned in a serviceable performance in his only exhibition game for the Chiefs. Almost immediately gone was Jason Baker, whose inconsistency had landed him deep in coach Dick Vermeil's doghouse.
Place kicker Lawrence Tynes, who has kicked in Canada for the past two years, worked harder. He beat out Morten Andersen, the second-leading scorer in NFL history, in a summer-long training camp battle that Vermel clearly wanted Andersen to win.
"I'm a little bit relieved,"
Tynes said. "But from day one, I thought I was going to be the guy. I was pretty confident in what I was doing. I was optimistic. Then I was fortunate enough to win the job."
While he's never kicked in an NFL regular-season game, Tynes has been seen in action in NFL exhibition games, NFL Europe and two seasons in the Canadian Football League, where he made almost 82 percent of his field goals attempts.
"This is my 51st or 52nd professional game," he said. "It's not the NFL — don't get me wrong — but we had national TV in the CFL and media and all that good stuff. It's just another level. I'm looking forward to it."
All the while the Chiefs were carefully tracking his development, knowing that one day age would finally catch up with Andersen.
Tynes does not accept the label of rookie.
Vermell, who called his decision to go with two new kickers "risky," has done this before. He went with rookies Tony Franklin and Max Runagar in Philadelphia in 1979, and it worked out well.
Vermeil is not planning on any pregame pep talk with his
new kickers before Sunday night's opener at Denver.
night a speaker at Dearborn.
"I think we've demonstrated confidence in them by doing what we've done," he said. "We let maybe one of the greatest kickers in the history of the league, a hall of famer, go. We tracked Lawrence Tynes in Canada. We've watched him grow. So it's time to move on. I'd love to have Morten Andersen 10 years ago."
If the Chiefs had not gone with Tynes, he no doubt would have drawn the attention of other teams. But Cheek was getting discouraged before Kansas City called Houston and acquired him from the Texans.
"I just completed my fourth training camp," Cheek said. "It's rare to keep on going back to camp and going back to camp and competing. Usually teams will move on to new guys. Your opportunities are limited in this business."
business
One thing Vermeil does plan for Sunday night is not to stand very close to his new kickers.
"I think I'm better off staying away from them," he said. "Head coaches tend to make people nervous. I've had that kind of affect on punters and place kickers over my career."
TV networks fight over shows
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After preliminaries stuffed with enough lawsuits and trash-talk to make Don King proud, the first of TV's battling boxing series faced its opening round yesterday.
Fox's "The Next Great Champ" takes 12 amateur boxers and has them compete for a contract with Oscar De La Hoya's promotional company and a title fight within the World Boxing Organization.
The series made NBC and producers Mark Burnett and
DreamWorks SKG livid. They accused Fox of ripping off its idea for their boxing reality series "The Contender," which was announced earlier but is not scheduled to air until November
Burnett and DreamWorks unsuccessfully sought an injunction to keep the Fox show off the air. They had claimed Fox's series shouldn't go forward because it violated rules set up for boxing matches by the California Athletic Commission.
copycats in an attempt to hurt a rival. Fox also aired, with some success, the series "Trading Spouses" this summer after ABC had announced a similar series, "Wife Swap," for the fall.
In an unusually bitter war of words, NBC executive Jeff Zucker accused Fox of being
Fox called such allegations outrageous and said it's typical for different networks to compete with similar ideas.
Even before these battles had simmered down, an independent producer filed a lawsuit last week claiming De La Hoya and his Golden Boy Promotions had gotten their idea from her in a meeting last
Singh approaching Woods' records
AKVILLE, Ontario — Tiger Woods has put himself in some peculiar positions this year.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
He has struggled just to make the cut. Tee shots have ricocheted off corporate tents and small children. He has spent Sunday afternoons cleaning out his locker, not standing on the 18th green posing with the trophy.
The strangest sight of all is "No. 2" next to his name in the world ranking.
Woods' record streak as the best player in golf — 264 consecutive weeks at No. 1 — came to an end at the Deutsche Bank Championship when Vijay Singh turned in a performance that even a computer couldn't dispute.
It was just a matter of time before the 41-year-old Fijian got his due.
It was the manner in which Singh reached the pinnacle of his amazing career that made it even sweeter.
Tied with Woods down the stretch on the TPC at Boston, with the gallery expecting Woods to respond to the most imminent threat to his throne, Singh pulled away with three birds on the final five holes to win by three shots and become only the 12th player to be No. 1 in the 18-year history of the world ranking.
"I've achieved what I wanted to do," Singh said. "I won a major. I won quite a lot of tournaments, and at the same time became No. 1 in the world. The whole season has been a great one."

Vijay Singh smiles at Tiger Woods as they shake hands on the 18th green after Singh won the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass. Monday by three strokes over Tiger Woods and Adam Scott. Singh won a head-to-head matchup with Woods to end his record reign at golf's ultimate leaderboard. Singh shot a 69, clinching the No. 1 ranking in the world with his sixth victory of the year. Woods had been first for more than five years — a record 264 consecutive weeks.

Roy to speak for first time to press about tiger attack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"That's been the remarkable part of this thing," said Jason Raff, the show's executive producer and director. "He really let us in to see the good days and bad days. I believe they gave us an unprecedented look."
LAS VEGAS - Rey Horn has never spoken publicly about the incident in which a 380-pound white tiger named Montecore nearly mauled him to death.
So when NBC airs the special "Siegfried & Roy: The Miracle" at 9 p.m. EDT Sept. 15, viewers will hear Horn for the first time and see his battle to regain his motor skills after the tiger attack — and subsequent debilitating stroke — left him in a wheelchair.
In his own words, Raff said. Horn will attempt to answer what happened that terrifying night during a live performance at The Mirage hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip. He'll be

Raff told The Associated Press he's not going to reveal what Horn had to say.
"H he really let us in to see the
"That I'm going to save for the special," Raff said. "That's his thing. He wants to say it himself."
But viewers shouldn't expect the definitive account.
"We will offer a very thorough look," Raff said. "Will we answer every question? No. We will not answer every question."
As Shriver noted in an interview with the AP, "No one is 100 percent sure what happened that night."
The special probably won't include the closely guarded footage of the Oct. 3 accident that was taped by Feld Entertainment, the company that produced the wildly popular Siegfried & Roy show.
Feld officials have refused to turn over the video to investigators from the Agriculture Department, the federal agency responsible for looking into such incidents, saying it "would quickly end up in the hands of media who would then sensationalize this horrible tragedy."
Raff said he pieced together the events leading up to the mauling and the dramatic days that came after it.
GE Consumer Finance is a global leader providing credit services to customer retailers and auto dealers in more than 35 countries around the world.
"To the best of our ability, we do a moment-by-moment account with lots of information that hasn't been reported yet," he said.
Trivia phenom wins again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - "Jeopardy!" master Ken Jennings has advanced his winning streak to 39, picking up another $10,001 and bringing his total money won to $1,331,661.
10
The Salt Lake City software engineer became an unlikely TV star this summer when he began mowing down opponents on the quiz show. He won 38 straight games before the show went on hiatus in late July. The new season began Monday.
"It's starting to be a lot of money," Jennings said midway through the show.
Jennings wagered $21,599 in Final Jeopardy, incorrectly guessing "Captain Marvel." The correct answer was "What is Classic Comics?"

was: "In 2002, the Library of Congress had William B. Jones Jr. speak on this 1941-to-1971 comic book series in its collection."
The Final Jeopardy question
"jeopardy!" limited its champions to five appearances before changing its rules a year ago, allowing a winner to keep competing until beaten.
Nobody expected the Jennings juggernaut. The 30-year-old has displayed a quick finger on the buzzer that frequently freezes out his opponents and an impressively broad array of knowledge.
"jeopardy!" will air two more weeks of original episodes, which began taping in August, before leaving on another hiatus for a special tournament.
If Jennings keeps winning, he'll keep coming back. Game spokesman Jeff Ritter said there's been no discussion of a cutoff point, or another change in the rule, if Jennings' streak continues.

LANGFORD: Greene falls short in HORSE contest
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Game One
My hopes immediately rose as Keith missed a three-pointer from the wing, and I followed this by draining a baseline jumper.
What made the shot even sweeter was that Keith missed it, giving him an early H. I immediately had images of me being carried off the court on my photographer, Jared's, shoulders in triumph.
With some momentum, I swished a three-pointer at the top of the key. This was the shot that Langford referred to the entire game as the easiest
shot in basketball, but he missed it. My fear earlier was that I would show up and be swept out of the gym within five minutes, not even getting a letter on him.
But here was the 5-foot-10 Ryan Greene leading big bad Keith Langford with an early H-O.
Of course, it was only a matter of time until Keith put my dreams to rest. He banked a three from a good two feet beyond the arc. Unless you practice this shot, like he probably does, it's all based on luck.
Then, after getting me on another banked three and tak-

ing over the lead, H-O to H-O-R, Keith tried to get into my head. See, Langford's weakness is his right hand, just as mine is my left. I set up to try a short, left-handed bank shot, telling him he would have to do the same with his right hand.
When I said this, he immediately went to the top of the key, telling me that he would wait his turn because I could never make my shot attempt. I drained it, but again, so did he.

BASKETBALL
A few minutes later, Keith had the H-O to H-O-R-S lead. In an attempt to nail down game one, Keith iced two corner threes.
It should come as no surprise that just moments later, Keith put game one on the rocks.
To my surprise, so did I. Why is it that when I'm putting on a shooting display like this, Coach Bill Self is nowhere in sight? Talk about your injustices.
Game Two
This time around, I decided to do like Keith said and focus on simplicity.
Once again I had an early H-O lead on K-Freeze. Even though Keith's second letter came after I hit a three-pointer in the corner about four feet beyond the line and behind the backboard, he still wasn't sweating.
My next attempt was a bank shot from the wing, and with a bounce on the rim even more unbelievable than Michael J. Fox's in Teen Wolf, it went in. Keith made it, but it didn't look as cool as mine. I still believe he should have received a letter here based on style points, but whatever.
You know, as a sportswriter, after you've covered enough games, you learn how to determine the true turning point of a contest.
Kansan sports columnist Ryan Greene, left, attempts a shot during a game of H-O-R-S-E against KU guard Keith Langford. The best of 5 series took place at the Horesji Center.
The turning point for this H-O-R-S-E series came with the second game tied, H-O to H-O.
Keith pulled up to the top of the key and stroked three consecutive bombs. This was a shot I was draining with ease just minutes earlier, but now I
duffed it three times. Keith took the second game and broken my spirits in the process. Maybe it's a good thing coach Self wasn't watching. Langford 2, Greene 0

It should come as no surprise that I once again took a two-letter lead, this time with a long three and another Teen Wolf miracle.
Keith then must have been pretty peeved, because he went back to the straight-away three that sunk me in game two.

an improbable shot behind the backboard and over the shot clock, but my second lead of the game was short-lived. Keith then began to hit shots like there was no tomorrow.
Here was the guy who scored 22 points in the first half against Arizona in 2003. I hit an impressive four shots to stave off elimination, trailing H-O-R to H-O-R-S.
But then Langford got philosophical on me, sort of.
As Keith strolled to set up the winner, he busted out this line: "Yall ever heard of Jim Harbaugh?"
Being a lifelong Michigan Wolverines and Chicago Bears fan, of course I knew who he was. At first, I thought Keith was just blurting it up, but then he mentioned Jim Harbaugh's nickname, "Captain Comeback."
With the verbal steam already rolling, he put Jared in front of him and stroked a 30-foot three, splashing nothing but nylon.
Other than Bryce Drew's miracle three to put Valparaiso over Ole Miss in the 1998 NCAA Tournament, this was the single greatest shot I had ever seen.

What made the experience even better was Keith's nature after our contest.
I knew he wouldn't talk trash on me. Instead, he exuded that quiet cool that has become his signature.
During the next 10 or 15 minutes, we talked about everything from free throws to the Syracuse game to the NBA.
Keith tried to give reason to why a straight-away three is easier than a free throw, ultimately settling on the explanation that there is no explanation.
He also talked about how had he gone 9-for-10 from the free-throw line instead of 5-for-10 in Kansas' 81-78 loss to Syracuse, there's no guarantee he'd still be at Kansas right now — but instead possibly donning an NBA uniform.
Some reporters may argue that basketball stars are nothing more than walking, talking clichés with nothing to say. It's amazing what some of them have to say when the talking is done on a basketball court.

Sorority to start men's calendar
By Ross Fitch
rft@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Women have graced the pages of KU calendars the past five years. But don't worry fellas, now it's your turn.
The women of Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Kansas are planning the first Men of KU calendar. Not to be confused with the Women of KU calendar, the new calendar will not feature men in Speedos, sensually holding basketballs on the Horeksi Family Athletics Center court. Instead, it will be similar to the Women of Distinction calendar, with participants being honored for their academic and community achievements.
"What we're looking for are men who are involved in the community and/or an organization, have good character and remain strong academically," said Jaime Johnson, Lincoln, Neb., junior and vice president for Foundation at Delta Gamma.
Johnson, who is overseeing the calendar, said the calendar was also called Men of KU because the University of Missouri Delta Gamma chapter has sponsored a Men of Mizzou calendar the past two years. She said her chapter wanted the Men of KU calendar to share the same theme.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Martin K. "Marty" Miller will appear in Douglas County District Court today at 2 p.m. where a preliminary trial date will be set for the first degree murder of his wife, Mary Miller, a KU librarian at Watson Library.
Mary Miller was reportedly found dead by Marty Miller July 28 at their home, 2105 Carolina St.
What do you think about a Men of KU calendar coming out that is not eye candy?
HEARD ON THE HILL
found bruising on the interior muscles and cartilage in Miller's neck and found edema foam, a substance formed in the lungs when they aren't functioning properly, was found in her nostrils.
Miller's death was classified as a homicide two days later after an autopsy confirmed that the 46-year old libarian died of asphyxiation.
Erik Mitchell, Douglas County Coroner, performed the autopsy and the report was suppressed until the final draft was released on Sept. 3, Poiman said.
The report also said the Millers' two junior-high aged children heard a scream the night of her death.
District Attorney, declined comment on the case but said the hearing today will be the first evidential hearing in the case.
According to the report, Mitchell
Marty Miller was arrested July 30 and was released Aug. 11 after a $150,000 bail was paid in cash by his parents.
Kenney said Miller will be represented by Mark Manna, a public defender which the court appointed Sept. 2 after Miller told the court he could not afford an attorney.
Christine Kenney, Douglas County
The autopsy was performed July 28 in Topeka, Donald Pojman, deputy coroner said.
This will be Miller's fourth time in court since his arrest, Kennev said.

Police investigate rape near campus
ECM's Asian Community Center offers translation services, English classes and support for all Asian students and residents. PAGE 3A
A black limousine pulled up to The Hawk and a group of people got out. The woman accepted a ride in the limousine. Two men were in the back of the limo with the woman. According to the report, one of the men held her down while the other raped her.
The woman was then kicked out of the limo at the top of the hill on 14th Street. The woman went back to The Hawk and used a phone to call an acquaintance and make arrangements to return to Georgia.
The two men in the back of limo were reportedly white males wearing nice shirts and jeans. The woman returned home without reporting the rape, but a hospital in Georgia contacted Lawrence police after it administered a sexual-assault exam.
Sgt. Dan Ward said the police department was taking the report seriously and was conducting a follow up investigation. The investigation includes contacting the five limo services that operate in Lawrence.
Ward could not comment on what resulted in the investigation of the limo services, and said any witnesses at The Hawk could not be revealed because the investigation is ongoing.
The police report also outlined the following: The woman was visiting her friends who attend the University of Kansas. While at The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., she lost her ride back to her friend's house and her cell phone battery died.
The friends the Georgia student was visiting have been contacted. Ward said.
Defensive stand-out
The Lawrence Police Department is investigating a rape reported this weekend by an 18-year-old female high school student who was visiting from Georgia.
One rape and two sex offenses were reported to the KU Public Safety Office last year. The number of reported rapes in Lawrence in 2003 was 49, Ward said.
According to the police report, the incident occurred between 1:30 a.m. and 2 a.m. Sundaw.

Dave Old, manager of Midwest Transportation Services, 2120 W. 25 St., said that he was surprised to hear a limo was involved.
In some limo there are two dividers between the driver and the passengers, Old said. One is glass and soundproof, and the other is a screen that prevents the driver from seeing behind. Old said he didn't know if limo companies took legal precautions against incidents such as this.

Mocktrial team looking for members, holding auditions
If KU students have an interest in public speaking and law, then they can try out today for the University of Kansas Mock Trial team. The team, which consists of six to eight members, carries out the proceedings of a full trial, but within the time constraint of three hours.
The team has been ranked in the top 20 in the nation for the last few years.
Tryouts consist of two parts with potential members speaking about a topic of their choice for five minutes. After their speech, an officers' panel will ask random questions to see how well they can talk on their feet.
Tryouts begin today in Room 203 of Green Hall, the KU Law School. Contact Ryan Faulconer, president of the Mock Trial team, any time at (719) 661-0819, if interested.
Faulconer said he is willing to expand tryouts if there are no times still available.
Faulconer, who has been on the team
since his freshman year, said he thought people might want to join the team because it's competitive and represents the University well. Faulconer said people from all types of backgrounds are welcome to tryout for the team.
Faulconer said the tryouts were simply a way to decide who would travel to the competitions, but everyone is encouraged to tryout. Even if a person doesn't travel with the team, Faulconer said, they are still encouraged to participate.

Kerry links economy to war, says Bush made bad choice
WASHINGTON — Democrat John Kerry sought to link the Iraq war to U.S. economic woes yesterday, calling President Bush's move against Baghdad a "catastrophic choice" that so far has drained $200 billion in needed resources at home.
At the same time, Democrats intensified their criticism of Vice President Dick Cheney for suggesting a Kerry victory in the election could provoke another terrorist attack on the United States. "It's wrong and it's un-American," said Kerry running mate John Edwards.
The Democrats were trying to turn the tables and subject Bush to the same kind of scrutiny and criticism that Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran, has come under.
Democrats raised fresh questions about his Vietnam-era Air National Guard service, suggesting newly released documents show he shirked his duty.
Before leaving the White House, Bush signed a bill allocating the emergency infusion of $2 billion, rushed through the Republican-controlled Congress the night before.

Senate approves speakers' funding
The bill to fund Bill Cosby passed at the Student Senate Committee meetings last night, but the finance committee amended the bill to fund $1,000 of the original $5,000.
The funding will pay for the use of Allen Fieldhouse. Cosby will come even without the lost $4,000 from Student Senate. His total cost will be about $100,000.
The finance committee voted to fund Homecoming educational speaker Bill Rancic for $6,500. Rancic will speak in the Kansas Union Ballroom, which seats about 900 people.
He is the winner of last season's hit show The Apprentice on NBC. The event will be free and open to the public.
The full Student Senate will vote whether to partially fund wireless Internet next week.
The committees approved the bill to fund $45,551, which will come out of the reserve account.
The cost will be a one-time fee, said Steve Munch, student body president.
He said KU Information Services would pay for the annual maintenance costs.
The funds Student Senate would put toward the cost of wireless Internet would pay for the expediency of the project, said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Student Senate's committees passed $81,036 worth of legislation last night.
All legislation passed in the committees will go onto Student Senate next week for further scrutiny.
The Senate Committees tabled the following bills until the next committee meeting in two weeks:
A bill to fund Into the Streets Week speaker Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
A bill to fund the Architecture Student Council for the architecture lecture series
The following bills passed through the regular committee agenda for general funding:
A bill to fund the Juggling Club for $580, which will be used for juggling equipment such as beanbags, rings, crystal sticks and stage balls.

On Sunday, Father Joseph Tung Dang celebrated Mass, just as he has the past two years.
But this was no ordinary Mass.
It celebrated his two-year ordination anniversary, and it was in Vietnamese.
The Mass served as a kick-off for the Ecumenical Christian Ministries' new Asian
Community Center.
Dang, a chaplain at ECM, will serve as head of the Center, a project that has been near to his heart.
"My goal has always been to open an Asian Center," he said. "No matter what, I am an Asian, and I'm willing to work with all Asian people."
Dang, who lived in Vietnam before moving to Lawrence, plans to provide Asian students and residents with translation services and a Vietnamese Mass
once a month.
Dang said language was one of the biggest barriers for immigrants, which is why the service, which will be housed in the ECM building, 1204 Oread Ave., will provide translation services from Chinese, Laotian and Vietnamese into English.
The center will also offer English as a second language classes and a Vietnamese class for English speakers.
class was a good idea for the Center.
"I've always wondered why KU never offered a Vietnamese class," said Khu, whose parents are from Vietnam. "I would think a lot of people would want to learn Vietnamese, with what happened in that country in the 1960s."
"It's going to probably start off slow, but eventually it'll hit off," Khuu said.
The Vietnamese Mass will be held on the first Sunday of every month, at 2:30 p.m. at the ECM building.
Dang also plans to offer a Vietnamese class on Wednesdays from 8-9:30 p.m. but is unsure when the class will begin.
"Our funding is still very limited," he said.
Steve Nguyen, owner of Jade
Nguyen donated money to the Asian Center to help Dang's cause.
Mongolian Barbecue, is trying to relieve some of those concerns.
Dang said the center is still planning most of the activities, but will help Asian students and residents in any way they can.
"We will be there, hand in hand, with the Asian community," he said.

Bush suspended from flying jets for not meeting standards
Air National Guard.
WASHINGTON - The White House released memos last night saying that George W. Bush was suspended from flying fighter jets for failing to meet standards of the Texas
The Vietnam-era memos add new dimensions to the bare-bones explanation of Bush's aides over the years that he was suspended simply because he decided to skip his annual physical exam.
The exam was scheduled during a year in which Bush left Texas, where he had been flying fighter jets, to work on a U.S. Senate campaign in Alabama.
White House communications director Dan Bartlett told
CBS' 60 Minutes, which first obtained the memos, that Bush's superiors granted permission to train in Alabama in a non-flying status and that "many of the documents you have here affirm just that.
"On this date I ordered that
1st Lt. Bush be suspended from flight status due to failure to perform to USAF/TANG standards and failure to meet annual physical examination ... as ordered," states an Aug. 1, 1972, memo by Lt. Col. Jerry Killian.
A memo a year later points to turmoil among Bush's superiors over how to rate his performance because there was no "feedback" from Guard officials in 1972 and 1973 in Alabama, where Bush had been largely inactive.

Exploiting New York City inappropriate, insensitive
More than 2,500 delegates from around the country gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York Aug.30 through Sept. 2 for the Republican National Convention.
This was the first time in the Republican National Committee's history of more than 150 years that New York City has been selected to host the event.
With its hardline national security platform and ideology of strong patriotic identity, the Republican Party continues to tout the Bush administration's reaction to the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as a unifying force behind the current American political landscape — particularly the current Republican administration. Coincidence? We think not.
The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 set into motion the movement that resulted in the Patriot Act, the Department of Homeland Security and the war in Iraq.
The Bush administration vowed that "we will never forget" this landmark American tragedy, and it is true that we as a nation — especially New Yorkers — will never lose sight of that terrible day in our history. Sept. 11 will continue to be something that unites us as
Americans.
However, the Republican Party's claim to ownership of the patriotic sentiment associated with Sept. 11 and its fallout is unnecessary.
The Republican Party seems to be using the tragedy of Sept. 11 as a campaign platform subtly through its policies on national security and patriotism. Now, it is attempting to overtly associate itself with New York despite the fact that the city is a national center for Democratic dominance, and few see any potential for change in that demographic in the near future.
Furthermore, with the massive influx of 2,500 republican delegates, protesters numbering in the tens of thousands and unprecedented convention security measures — likened only to the security presence seen in New York immediately after Sept.11 itself — the convention was as much a hassle to Manhattan residents as anything else.
The abuse of the memories of Sept. 11 is just as bad as the abuse of Manhattan and New York residents to present a political front. At the elections in November, let us all remember that it was terrorists, not Democrats, who bombed the World Trade Center.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Movies can make you 'Psycho'
One of the most recognizable sounds is the pacing shark sequence from the movie jaws. Can you hear it? Consciously or not, this set of sounds conjures fear in the heart of anyone who has seen this movie series.
COMMENTARY
Just as these movies created a great fear of sharks in the late '70s, the movie Open Water is presently attempting to do the same. While clearly intending to instill a strong negative association between the sport of scuba diving and shark attacks, this genre of movies falsely portrays the actual odds of traumatic incidences.
The truth is you have a better chance of being struck by lightning — literally. According to DiscoveryChannel.com, approximately one in every 6 million people in the United States will be the victims of shark attacks. In comparison, the official site of the Lightning Injury Research Program cites that one in every 3,000 people will be struck by lightning in their lifetimes. However, if you choose to sit out on eye-opening and unique experiences simply because of movie scenes, your activities will become quite limited.
In researching the psychological effects these sorts of movies cause individuals, I discovered the work of Joanna Cantor, University of Wisconsin professor, and author of From Psycho to Scream: Why Movie Horror Doesn't Die. Cantor interestingly pairs her research with the cognitive development concepts of Jean Piaget. On her home Web site, she specifically cites research on college students' memories of fright reactions from films.
COMMITTEE
ASHLEY SMITH
opinion@hansan.com
Reports showed that 90 percent of college students had experienced dread reactions, 35 percent subsequently avoided or dreaded similar situations to those in movies and 26 percent said the effects were still ongoing after many years. Not shockingly, one of the most frequently cited reactions was the avoidance of swimming in pools, lakes or oceans after the viewing of faws.
The true pitfall of movies such as Jaws and Open Water is the depiction of human life as overly vulnerable to nature. As a certified and experienced diver, I know firsthand that today's technological advances paired with the extensive training given to participants, make scuba diving an extremely safe sport. Global Positioning Satellites not only allow for exact dive site coordinates and pinpoint wildlife tracking, but also monitor individual divers. On real excursions such as those depicted in the aforementioned movies, dive leaders count and recount as participants come on and off the dive boats. On those I have participated in, there is also a peer-to-peer system that ensures inaccuracy is impossible.
If you have been one of the many
affected on some level by these movies or those similar, your best bet is to face the fear head on. The Better Health Channel Web site advises not to "go out of your way to avoid certain places or activities" because of memories. While most will not experience this level of disturbance, the site further suggests you seek professional help if you continually have disturbed sleep or reoccurring nightmares associated with the movie. If you find that movies of this genre do affect for a time period after viewing them, simply avoid seeing them in the future. Keeping a level head, with realistic odds of an accident in mind, should keep you from having a negative effect from such films.
Smith is a Tulsa, Okla., junior in journalism
If a movie such as Open Water particularly scares you because it is "based on real events," take a closer look at that claim. Filmmakers often use this term as a disclaimer for fabricating an elaborate story with little actual evidence. I have been scuba diving with a partner in the ocean before. Thus, the movie could technically be based on my experience, and what could have potentially happened.
Just keep in mind that you take the risk of ending up with nightmares, or an instilled fear of something you would normally like. Further consider that this new need for avoiding certain scenarios may not only affect you. As understanding as your roommates may be, Psycho can only excuse skipping a shower so many times.
Stinson's cartoon needs help with facts on current events
Dear editors,
As a military member and historian, I thought that Zach Stinson, cartoonist for The University Daily Kansan, might need some help with his facts about current events.
There are currently more than 40 nations participating in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom in the Middle East — a number far greater than the list of nations that were allied with the United States during World War II, Korea, Vietnam or Desert Storm. Troop numbers are smaller, but with the exception of the United States, so are overall military sizes.
Also, it includes such lightweights and "weak" partners as Australia, Colombia, Denmark, Ethiopia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Netherlands, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom just to name a few.
Our forces in the United States Central Command are fighting terrorism and winning.

unsetting and overemphasis. While Merriam-Webster may offer one of several definitions for the term "liberal," it is not fair to assume that KU and several other colleges, universities, or even individuals derive the same meaning from the word.
The term "liberal", as in KU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, stresses "intellectual liberty", as was stated by Vockrodt, but it does not carry political affiliation, nor is it necessarily synonymous with "open-mindedness". The mission of "intellectual liberty" is to liberate the minds of students through education so they
As for Lawrence's liberal slant, Vockrodt is simply falling victim to regional political differences. Being a native Kansan, I was often alone in my "liberalism" in high school, suffering from the same close-mindedness.
It's unfair to blame the University staff for regional provincialities that exist all over the country, and ignorant to circuitously accuse any university of hiring professors based on declared political affiliation.
Yes, we should all open our minds, but we shouldn't put words in other's mouths.

Birthday bash planned for Lawrence
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It's a party where you can see a beard-growing contest and 30 birthday cakes all in the same day. Students who call the University of Kansas home have the chance to celebrate Lawrence's history and eat birthday cake at the Lawrence Sesquicentennial, the city's 150th birthday.
The Lawrence Association was formed on Sept. 18, 1854, when Lawrence's town site, name and constitution were officially adopted.
The Sesquicentennial has been in planning since January 2000.
Clenice Hills, president of Lawrence's Sesquicentennial board, said a sense of community could be lost as a community got bigger, and the Sesquicentennial is a once in a lifetime experience for students. Hills said students should celebrate the Sesquicentennial because students who are in

Lawrence now might not be around for the Bicentennial.
Robert Foster, KU professor of music, said Lawrence's birthday was a way for students to celebrate the remarkable Lawrence community. Foster is planning the Sesquicentennial parade, which will be the biggest since Lawrence's Centennial parade. Foster said 100 entrants had signed up for the Sept. 18 celebration.
The KU Band will march in the parade, which will begin at 10 a.m. and is expected to last for more than two hours. Foster said the parade started at Seventh and Massachusetts streets and would travel south to
end at South Park.
John Lynch, director of bands for the University, said the parade will be the band's third time to perform in their new uniforms.
forms.
"We absolutely wanted to be a part of it from the beginning," Lynch said.
Steve Braswell, member of the Sesquicentennial commission, said there would be a birthday party for Lawrence after the parade ended. Braswell said Dillons Corporation had donated 30 birthday cakes to the party.
party. Lawrence's birthday party is child-oriented and will offer a petting zoo and pony rides, Braswell said.
Braswell said there would be a beard-growing contest, which will judge the length and the quality of the beard, on Sept. 18 at 2 p.m. at the gazebo in South Park. All are invited to enter the contest no registration will be required. Braswell said.
required, Braswell said one event he was excited about was the street dance in South Park on Sept. 18.
from 7 to 11 p.m. The street dance will feature two musical acts, soloist Kelley Hunt and Billy Ebeling performing with the Late to Dinner Band. On Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission approved up to $3,000 funding for the street dance.
No admission will be charged for the dance.
Braswell encouraged students to come downtown and take part in the celebration.
"How often does your hometown, or at least your temporary hometown, have its 150th birthday?" Braswell said. "You know, not very often."
He said the dance would give everyone in the town and University a chance to relax and have a good time.
"I sort of have a one-man campaign going on to reintroduce groovy to the common language," Braswell said. "I think it's going to be cool and groovy."

U.S.military deaths in Iraq reached 1,000
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A spate of attacks including a suicide car bombing pushed the number of U.S. military deaths in the Iraq campaign past 1,000, with the majority inflicted by an insurgency that bloomed after President Bush declared major combat over.
Fighting with Sunni and Shiite insurgents killed eight Americans in the Baghdad area on Tuesday and yesterday, pushing the count to 1,003. The tally was compiled by The Associated Press based on Pentagon records and AP reporting from Iraq.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld cited progress on several fronts in the Bush administration's global war on terrorism and said U.S. enemies should not underestimate the willingness of the American people and its coalition allies to suffer casualties in Iraq and elsewhere.
"The progress has prompted a backlash, in effect, from those
who hope that at some point we might conclude that the pain and the cost of this fight isn't worth it." Rumsfeld said in a Pentagon news conference. "Well, our enemies have underestimated our country, our coalition. They have failed to understand the character of our people. And they certainly misread our commander in chief."
The Bush administration has long linked the Iraq conflict to the war on terrorism. The Sept. 11 Commission, however, concluded that Iraq and Al Qaeda did not have a "collaborative relationship" before the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
The 1,003 figure includes deaths from hostile and nonhostile causes since the United States launched the Iraq campaign in March 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein's regime. All but 138 of the U.S. deaths came after Bush's May 1, 2003 declaration of an end to major combat operations after Saddam fell.
CALENDAR Delta Gamma planning 'Distinction' counterpart
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Johnson said Delta Gamma was in the process of handing out applications.
Applications were sent to the contact persons for all the organizations listed at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
The center includes groups likes fraternities and sororities, religious and political organizations, sport clubs, scholarship halls and other organizations.
She said students could also get applications by calling the Delta Gamma house at 843-5990 and one would be sent to them, or by going to the Delta Gamma house at 1015 Emery Road.
Applications can be filled
out by the applicants themselves, or by someone else who thinks they are worthy, Johnson said.
Applications are due Friday, Sept.17, by either turning them in to the house or giving them to a Delta Gamma member. The calendar is scheduled to come out by Nov. 1.
The new calendar has the potential to further the awareness of both men's and women's positive contributions to campus and the Lawrence community, said Katherine RoseMockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"Ideally, it's essential men and women are partners in addressing gender issues," she said.

Gamma
Resource Center oversees the Women of Distinction calendar.
Mockry said she supported the concept of the Men of KU calendar because it recognized outstanding contributions by students.
She also said there were
many areas where women were still not well-represented, and the Women of Distinction calendar's role was different from the Men of KU calendar in that it raised awareness of women's roles on campus.
The Men of KU concept is not new. Last year, James Owen, Lawrence resident, proposed a similar idea.
His proposal was denied, but he said he did not have bad feelings toward anyone involved with the decision last year or anyone involved with the current calendar.
He said he was happy the calendar was finally starting up.
"We were hoping this would continue and, apparently, it has," Owen said.
"That's good."
That's good. Owen, who graduated from the School of Law in May, said the Men of KU calendar was a good way to represent both genders.
Some students joked that the calendar would be better if it was similar to the Women of KU calendar.
Others felt the current plan had better taste.
No matter what men might say, most of them would take satisfaction in being honored in the calendar, said Steve Barbaro. St. Cloud, Minn., junior and Men's Outreach coordinator.
If he had the choice of being on a calendar that focused solely on appearance or on the Men of KU calendar, he said he would choose the latter.
"It would represent what I've done, what I stand for and
what I hope to do," Barbaro said.
Delta Gamma was still in the process of figuring out costs, Johnson said.
Student fees will not fund any of the costs of the calendar.
All proceeds will go to the Delta Gamma Foundation as a fundraising effort and will benefit the visually impaired community.
The Foundation takes the money and delves it out to the Delta Gamma philanthropy, Site Conservation and Aid to the Blind.
Money also goes to scholarships, loans and grants for Delta Gamma members, said Kelley Briant, Dallas senior and president of the University's Delta Gamma chapter.

Hurricane slams town. U.S. students fear looters
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada — The most powerful hurricane to hit Grenada in a decade killed at least 12 people, damaged 90 percent of homes and destroyed a prison, leaving criminals on the loose, officials said yesterday. American medical students were taking precautions against looters.
Before it slammed into Grenada Tuesday evening, Ivan gave Barbados and St. Vincent a pummeling, damaging hundreds of homes and cutting utilities. Thousands of people there remained without electricity and water on yesterday.
Details on the extent of the death and destruction in Grenada did not come through until yesterday because the storm cut all communications with the island of 100,000 people.
"We are terribly devastated ... it's beyond imagination," Prime Minister Keith Mitchell told his people.
Mitchell, whose own home was flattened by Ivan, said he feared the death toll would rise.
ET
"If you see the country today, it would be a surprise to anyone that we did not have more deaths than it appears at the moment," Grenada's Police Commissioner Roy Bedaau said.
"It looks like a landslide happened," said Sonya Lazarevic, 36, a first-year medical student from New York City at St. George's University, which overlooked the Grenadian capital. "There are all these colors coming down the mountainside — sheets of metal, pieces of shacks, roofs came off in lawers."
looters in the city would come up the hill. "We don't feel safe," she said by telephone service that was sporadic,
She said students there, mostly Americans, were arming themselves with knives, sticks and pepper spray for fear that
When she wandered downtown after the hurricane passed, Lazarevic said she saw bands of men carrying machetes looting a hardware store. She said she saw a bank with glass facade intact during one pass that was totally smashed when she returned.
While the storm passed, students hid under mattresses or in bathrooms. "The pipes were whistling, the doors were vibrating, gusts were coming underneath the window," Lazarevic said. "It was absolutely terrifying."
Debris is seen scattered through the streets yesterday, one day after Hurricane Ivan hit the village of Dennery on the coast line of Castries, Saint Lucia.

The storm strengthened even as it hit Grenada, becoming a Category 4, gathering strength and packing sustained winds of 140 mph with higher gusts as it headed across the Caribbean Sea. J

"After Jamaica, it's probably
going to hit somewhere in the U.S., unfortunately," meteorologist Jennifer Pralgo of the Hurricane Center said yesterday. "We're hoping it's not Florida again, but it's taking a fairly similar
track to Charley at the moment."
Ivan is an "extremely dangerous" storm, said Hugh Cobb of the Hurricane Center, adding this grim warning: "Whoever gets this, it's going to be bad."

Students 'Live Strong' for cancer research, fashion
BY AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lance Armstrong didn't let cancer stop him from winning the Tour de France six times, and KU students are lining up to support him.
This summer, Armstrong began wearing a yellow bracelet that read "Live Strong" to draw awareness and support to cancer research.

Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., has sold 1,000 bracelets, since receiving them before the Tour de France began. It sold more than 400 in one day toward the end of the tour, Wes Oneal, store employee, said. But not all purchasers of what he called "Lance bands" knew they'd be supporting cancer research.
Nike began producing the bracelets before the Tour de France in July, selling them online and in stores. The bracelets sell for $1 and proceeds benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which is raising $5 million for people around the world who are living with cancer.
"There were people that knew what they were about." Oneal said. "But others just saw people
Some people wear the bracelets to support Armstrong's cause, but others do because it's trendy. Whatever the case, Lawrence stores can't keep them on the shelves.

'Apprentice' returns to NBC after successful first season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — With a new round of *The Apprentice* ready to go, Donald Trump is fired. Fired up, that is. Maybe even more fired up than usual.
His show — back for a second season at 7:30 p.m. tonight on NBC — is even better than before, crows the billionaire businessman, who can afford to
brag, especially because the first time around he saved NBC's bacon and made "You're fired!" a bankable catchphrase.
But though never one to shrink from the spotlight, Trump signed on for The Apprentice just to have a good time, he insists. The first edition's finale in April — when he hired Bill Rancic to oversee a Chicago construction project
— drew more than 28 million people. "You can have a really good time when that happens," Trump told The Associated Press last week.
Besides, it doesn't cut into his schedule as much as you might think. "Frankly, the biggest time (demand) is when I have to fly to California to do a Jay Leno or something," he said. His show "is not scripted, there's nothing
"We" includes Mark Burnett, who created Survivor for CBS and then made lightning strike again with The Apprentice.
Burnett, too, is fired up. He calls the initial three episodes of the 17-episode series, which was taped this summer, "the best work of my career."
Why so? "The 18 new players
to study; it's something that we have down to a science."
trying to get the job as The Apprentice watched the first season," he explained, "and they came out with a vengeance, and did better, and thought differently, which made it very exciting."
In the premiere of The Apprentice, teams are divided along gender lines, as in the original series, but with a notable switch: they both draft
one member of the opposite sex.
The secret of the show's appeal may not be the spectacle of someone hearing Trump say 'You're fired!' but, instead, that of everyone else getting spared.
On its surface, The Apprentice tells the story of cutthroat business. But is there a deeper meaning?
They just wanted to be heard.

Lessons from Canada
After a crazy, entertaining, stressful, getting-lost-at-every-point-in Vancouver trip, here are 13 things I learned in Canada after following the men's basketball team on its exhibition tour.
1. There was not one player on the trip that could stop Wayne Simien. In fact, British Columbia coach Kevin Hanson said he didn't believe anyone in Canada could. Simien shot incredibly, making 12 of his 14 shots in the final game. He also seems to have extended his range farther, making two three-pointers out of the four he attempted.
2. Coach Bill Self will have to find a way to put Russell Robinson and Aaron Miles on the court at the same time. Self would love to groom Robinson into a point guard for next year but he might have to alter his plans after seeing Robinson and Miles perform so well on the court together. In one game, the duo combined for four straight steals, which all led to points on the other end. The two brought a new level of backcourt defensive intensity to this year's team.
Junior defensive end Charlton Keith congratulated junior linebacker Kevin Kane after he intercepted a pass at the Tulsa 20 yard line at Memorial Stadium last weekend. Kane ran with the intercepted ball for 18 yards.
3. Freshman Robinson plays like a sophomore now. His stated goal to Self last month was to become a sophomore by December, but he looks like one already. Robinson is a polished player who is very similar to the Aaron Miles of three years ago. The guard from New York showed stifling on-the-ball defense, good passing skills in traffic and an ability to hit the outside shot. He had a tendency to force shots and passes at times, but showed the most potential of the freshmen — if we still want to call him that.
4. McDonald's is good food in any country.
5. C.J. Giles has the inside track to start alongside Simien in the forward position. Self said Giles and Darmell Jackson impressed him the most of the freshmen big men, but Giles looked to be the farthest along of the three. Fans will love his athleticism and shot-blocking ability, but Giles also showed strong defensive instincts and a good touch around the rim. He performs his role well, which is mostly to play tough defense, and he doesn't try to do more than he is capable of.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
6. Sasha Kaun has work to do, but shows Collison-like qualities. Kaun is the farthest behind of the freshmen big men, with Self saying the game is currently too fast for him. This aside, he scored 20 points and had nine rebounds against Langara, not a bad line for someone still adjusting to the speed of the college game. Most impressive was his ability to use both hands in the post. He looks as comfortable using his left hand for hook shots as former Kansas All-American Nick Collison did his freshman season.
7. Keith Langford's knee could be key. Self said the only negative of the trip was that Langford's knee does not seem to be at full strength. Self held Langford out of the last game after the senior guard scored 21 points against Fraser Valley. The key to the season may be how healthy Langford will be, especially come tournament time when he tends to save his best play for last.
8. If you attain legal drinking age on a flight to Canada and have ID ready in hand to buy a drink, the flight attendant will not card you. This will be frustrating,because you have waited 21 years of your life to be carded.

Linebacker Kane steps up

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Rockhurst High School is known as one of the football powerhouses in the Kansas City area. Only one Rockhurst alum is on the roster at Kansas, but junior Kevin Kane represented well with an outstanding performance in Saturday's 21-3 victory over Tulsa.
In just one defensive series against Tulsa, Kane contributed a sack, was part of a tackle and then intercepted a pass at the Tulsa 20-yard line and returned it to the two-yard line.
After the game, Coach Mark Mangino poked fun at Kane's inability to reach the end zone, with his blistering "5.5 forty" speed.
"I just like to think I was looking at the scenery," Kane said.
As nice as the touchdown would have been, it would have been only icing on a cake that was already several layers high.
"Kevin Kane is a good football player because he works at it," Mangino said. "He made himself a better player through hard work."
When Mangino unveiled his depth chart for the first game of the season, he turned some heads by listing four linebackers, while his defensive scheme calls for only three. Mangino said that he intended to use Kane in addition to previously projected starters Banks Floodman, Gabriel Toomey and Nick Reid, all juniors, in a rotation.
"It helps keep us fresh. If someone gets tired, we can put in someone just as good." Kane said.
For Tulsa, Mangino elected to start Kane, Toomey and Reid, but defended that as nothing more than one example of a starting scheme.
"You all get too hung up on the eleven on the field to start the game," he said to the media after Saturday's game.
He explained that all four linebackers would take a fairly equal number of snaps and have an equal chance to start. Kane relished his chance to do so.
"It was great to be out there on the first plau." Kane said.
Coming out of last season, Kane was determined to set himself up for success.
those other guys."
All of the success Kane had this week is not going to allow him to rest. Right now, he's focusing on giving the same performance, week after week.
"I was thinking, if I get an opportunity, I'd make the most of it," Kane said. "I thought I was just as good as
"Just consistency, just doing it week in and week out. Becoming a better player each week, will make me better overall." Kane said.
Toledo, Kansas' opponent this week,
amassed 406 yards in its lopsided 63-21
loss to Minnesota last weekend.
Kansas had just more than 200 yards in its victory.
For Kansas to win, the defense will have to perform as well or better than it did last week. And Kane will have to be a big part of that.
"There's always room for improvement." Kane said.
If that's the case, Kane better find himself with the ball in the end zone against Toledo.

Soccer co-captain Leeper wants little recognition
By Kellis Robinett
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
It is hard to call a team captain an unsung hero, but when a team has as many individual stars as the Kansas women's soccerc team, it's the label senior defender Stacy Leeper has to endure.
Kansas' defense has not allowed a goal in its first four games, and Leeper is a big reason why. But unlike sophomore defender Holly Gault, senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller or sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo, Leeper has not been
LEFPFR
honored by the Big 12 Conference.
Even though Leeper has not received any awards, she is the first person to tell you that she doesn't feel overlooked.
"We're a team, and if one person on our defense gets honored that's great." Leeper said. "But there are six of us back there and it wouldn't work if we weren't all there, and it doesn't matter who gets the recognition as long as we stop the other team from scoring."
As the only senior on the defense, Leeper acts as a coach by directing her teammates on the field.
"I know my teammates look to me to start the talk," Leeper said. "Everyone out there at different times is giving me information. They ask me what to do in certain situations and look to me because they know I've been here four years."
Her performance on the field shouldn't be ignored. She tackles well, gets the ball back to the offense quickly and isn't afraid to sacrifice her body to make a play. Unfortunately, none of
those qualities show up on the stat sheet.
Forwards score goals, midfielders collect assists and goalkeepers rack up saves. As a defender, the only stats that Leeper has compiled in her career are two goals and four assists.
But compiling statistics is not a concern to Leeper. Of all the defenders on the team, she spends the most time in the backfield protecting the goal.
"Those things don't really matter to me," Leeper said. "My biggest statistic is the number of times I've talked. I always joke with people that I don't do anything. I just tell everyone else what to do. My strength is organizing and telling everyone else where to go."
It's that kind of leadership her coach and teammates recognize, and is a primary reason why she was named the team's co-captain, along with senior midfielder Lauren Williams.
"We've got a good nucleus on defense with Gault, Leeper and Miller." Francis said. "I think the young players will learn from Leeper and won't have any problems playing."
Coach Mark Francis has so much confidence in her that he wasn't even worried about his young backfield coming into the season.
As a team captain Leeper also helps her teammates off the field by reminding them what to do between games, and what clothes and equipment to take for road games.
She doesn't think she deserves any credit for being a captain.
Leeper has been to two NCAA tournaments, and has started 46 games, second most of anyone on the team.
"It's not that big of a deal." Leeper said. "Everyone on this team is important, it's not like people look at me differently because I'm a captain."

Stacy Leeper dribbed the ball during an Aug. 26 practice at Ray Evans field in Anschutz Sports Pavilion. The senior defender is team captain this year.
The extra experience she has is an advantage for the soccer team, but the urgency she plays with knowing that this is her last season may be what makes her the most dangerous.
"All of the seniors have a countdown of how many games we have left," Leeper said. "I definitely want to maximize the time I have left."

Softball finds its new ace
Unless a newcomer puts on a performance similar to to one Kassie Humphreys turned in her freshman season. Humphreys will be the anchor to a pitching staff in definite need of one.
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The program graduated Kara Pierce, the team leader a year ago in games started, wins, strikeouts and innings pitched. Beyond Humphreys, the Jayhawks' only returning pitcher who started a game last season is redshirt junior Serena Settlemier. Settlemier made only one start last year after coming off injury, which brings into focus how important Humphreys will be to a team that finished seventh in the conference a year ago.
The 'Hawks should not be too worried about laying such a burden on Humphreys.
There was room for argument last softball season as to who was the ace of the Kansas pitching staff. This year, chances are there will be no such debate.
She racked up impressive numbers as a true freshman, leading the team in earned run average while posting 14 wins. She finished in the top 10 among Big 12 Conference pitchers in ERA, opponent batting average, strikeouts, wins, hits allowed and earned runs allowed as well. Not bad for someone who didn't know quite what to expect when coming to the team.
"I came into last year knowing it was going to be a learning process," Humphreys said. "I wanted to soak up as much as I could."

KU midfielder wins awards, helpsteam stay undefeated
A Kansas soccer player is reaping plenty of individual awards to go along with the team's 4-0 start.
Sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week yesterday, after an impressive weekend of games. Cauzillo had two game-winning goals as the Jayhawks went onto win the tournament. She was selected by the tournament's coaches as the weekend's offensive MVP.
Cauzillo played her freshman season at the West Virginia. She has started in all four games for Kansas after she joined the team this fall. She leads the team with two goals and five points.
The No. 21 Jayhawks will look to keep its record perfect in the Furman Select Kickoff Classic this weekend in Greenville, S.C. Kansas will start off the tournament against host Furman at 6 p.m. today.

Royals' Brown hot against Detroit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brown had his first two-homer game Tuesday in the Royals' 6-2 win over Detroit and has hit six of his 14 career home runs against the Tigers.
The Kansas City Royals game against the Tigers yesterday was postponed by rain. The teams will play a doubleheader today at 11:05 a.m.
DETROIT — Dee Brown will have to wait another day to face the Detroit Tigers.
Brown didn't play in the first game of the series, a 7-3 loss Monday, but he was in the lineup yesterday.
"I'm not going to disrespect the team this year," Brown said. "But in the past, their pitching hasn't been that good."
"I better play him every day against the Tigers," Kansas City manager Tony Pena said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Twenty-two seasons and 2,259 points later, Morten Andersen still wasn't ready to call it a career.

As the 44-year-old Andersen made his first kick, splitting the uprights, one of the players yelled: "We finally got someone that can make extra points!"
In Kansas City, Andersen's reliable reputation wasn't enough to make up for his age. The Chiefs chose youth over experience and cut Andersen on
Sunday. But he fits in well in Minnesota, where the Vikings have struggled to find a consistent kicker since Gary Anderson's departure after 2002.

Swimming team sets high goals
BY NORA KELLAH
nkellam@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWATER
When a team of athletes can end a season third in the Big 12 and maintain an average grade point average of 3.39, it is doing something right.
After a successful 2003-2004 season, Kansas swimmers and divers are ready for another year. Coach Clark Campbell has high expectations for the Jayhawks this season.
He said the women are training hard and ready for a challenging year.
The Kansas swimming and diving team trains three days a week, but the team focuses on more than just winning races. Campbell concentrates on maximizing individual potential and goal setting.
"One of our most important team goals each semester is the Academic All-America selection by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America." Campbell said.
This year, Kansas welcomes nine freshmen to the team.
All nine come in with different strengths and will add much to the team, Campbell said.
"They are in a learning phase right now," he said. "They improve every day."
With senior role models such as Amy Gruber and Aly Colver, the freshmen are moving in the right direction.

After a successful 2003-2004 season, Kansas swimmers and divers are ready for another year. Coach Clark Campbell has high expectations for the Jayhawks this season.
Last year, Gruber was the only swimmer to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Both Gruber and Colver set career bests in the 200 freestyle and were recognized for academic achievement.
On Oct. 8, Kansas will kick off the season with the annual Intrasquad meet.
"Things are a little different this year," Campbell said. "The meet will be much more laid back."
The Intrasquad meet gives team members a chance to switch around events and prepare for the upcoming meet with Texas on Oct. 14.
On Oct. 15 Kansas will host the Big 12 Conference Relays.
Last year the Jayhawks finished in sixth place.

Seniorkicker partially replaced by freshman
FOOTBALL
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announced two changes to his game day lineup yesterday.
More significantly, Mangino announced that senior kicker Johnny Beck would be partially replaced by redshirt freshman Scott Webb.
"Scott Webb's going to kick the extra points and any kicks, the actual placement of the ball, any field goals that are spotted inside the 20," Mangino said.
Beck missed a 45-yard field goal as well as an extra point in Saturday's game against Tulsa. Beck will maintain kickoff
duties as well as field goals beyond the 20-yard line.
Additionally, Mangino said he was considering slightly modifying his depth chart at running back.
"I want to watch his practice tape," Mangino said of junior running back Clark Green. "Clark's going to play, John's going to play. I may go ahead and start John Randle," Mangino said.
Randle, a sophomore, sat out the first half of the game against Tulsa. In the second half, he came out and helped the offense score 18 points with 56 yards rushing.
Green had just 23 yards rushing in the first half, and had no attempts in the second half.

Troy put in spotlight for Missouri game
TROY, Ala. — Alfred Malone isn't just interested in letting people outside the state know Troy University football exists or proving the Trojans can hang in there against a major conference team.
When No. 19 Missouri visits tomorrow night, the defensive tackle wants only to win.
"You can have individual success and say, 'Yeah, OK, we played good,' but there's nothing like a win," Malone said. "That's what we go out for every Saturday is a win. How can you celebrate just playing good?"
Actually for the fledgling Division I-A program and new
Sun Belt Conference member, just having a team from the Big 12 Conference come to town is a coup. Playing on national television for the first time (ESPN2) is a huge bonus.
Facing fleet-footed, strongarmed Missouri quarterback Brad Smith, on the other hand, might not be so much fun.
Smith ran roughshod over Troy — formerly Troy State — as a freshman in a 44-7 victory in 2002. He showed in Missouri's opener why many consider him a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate, passing for three touchdowns and running for a 34-yard score in a blowout of Arkansas State.

Eliminated racers stay positive THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Don't feel sorry for the drivers who won't make it into NASCAR's new 10-man, 10-race championship shootout. They don't.
Going into Saturday night's Nextel Cup race at Richmond, the drivers 11th through 15th in the points standings still have at least a mathematical chance to be among those who compete for the season title - and the big payoffs - beginning the following week at Loudon, N.H.

But that doesn't mean the rest of the field lacks incentive.
the same situation. Burton is 18th in points, mathematically eliminated from the top 10 but trying hard to build momentum with his new team before the end of the season.
Matt Kenseth's runaway championship last year was the last straw for NASCAR, which has seen a number of ho-hum title battles in recent years. That has hurt both attendance and TV ratings late in the season, particularly when it came time to go up against pro football.
Veteran racer Jeff Burton, who recently switched teams — moving to Richard Childress Racing from Roush Racing — is in much the same situation as Riggs.

9. Alex Galindo does more than shoot. More promising than seeing Galindo hit four consecutive threes were the intangibles the 6-foot-7 guard brought to the floor. Galindo has great leaping ability and showed he was a force on the boards with 10 rebounds against Langara. He also brought intelligent play, screening off a defender on a fast break so Miles could have an easy two points, and extensive hustle, once banging his head on the ground after diving out-of-bounds against Fraser Valley.
10. Jackson is the best post defender with the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-9 forward always seems to be in the right place at the right time and have good position on defense.
11. Green traffic lights in Canada blink. I'm not sure why, but they do.
12. Kansas fan support knows no boundaries (literally). UBC coach Kevin Hanson said he had received ticket inquiries from 30 different states for the first game in Canada. The Jayhawk following, especially for an exhibition trip in a foreign country, was tremendous, with about 500 Kansas fans at each game.
13. If, hypothetically speaking, you have a connecting flight, you do not need to pick up your luggage. This is very important. If you do this, it will cause you to curse under your breath while running through the airport like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2 to get to a flight taking off in seven minutes. Not that it happened to me or anything.

Chiefs' inexperience at kicker, punter not a problem
Even without the second-highest scorer in NFL history, the offense should have no trouble scoring points this season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The punter does not have one minute of NFL experience. The placekicker does not have one minute of NFL experience.

The general manager, at least for the time being, does not have one minute's peace of mind.
"I'm scared to death," said Carl Peterson, president and General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs. "I'm not going to be able to sleep at night until these guys prove themselves."

The Chiefs' focus throughout the preseason was trained on achieving a defensive renaissance under Gunther Cunningham and fine-tuning a powerful offense — making sure a 13-3 playoff team remained a viable Super Bowl contender.
But less than a week before the season opener, the Chiefs did something only rebuilding teams are supposed to do. They fired their veteran placekicker,
No. 2 career scorer Morten Andersen, and dumped its in-the-doghouse punter, rolling the dice with a couple of scarly untested newcomers.
"A tough decision. A risky decision," agreed coach Dick Vermeil.
Punting will be handled by Steve Cheek. He's been with five teams in four years, but never found his way onto an NFL roster until making good in his only preseason game with Kansas City.
Succeeding Andersen, who still possesses great accuracy from 40 yards and in, is Lawrence Tynes.
Tynes kicked well the past two years in the CFL and obviously has more distance and power than the 44-year-old he displaced.
But like Cheek, he's never kicked with NFL-caliber athletes bearing down on him and 70,000 crazed fans screaming in his ear.
"You don't always have a100 percent consensus on the decisions you make on moving and changing the roster, but you try to come up with a majority that believes you're doing the right thing."
Dick Vermeil Kansas City Chiefs coach
Peterson, among others on the staff, favored keeping at least one of the veterans. But Vermeil prevailed.
"You don't always have a 100 percent consensus on the decisions you make on moving and changing the roster, but you try to come up with a majority that believes you're doing the right
Tynes should have plenty of opportunity to kick field goals and extra points because the offense that's led the NFL in scoring the past two years has never looked sharper.
thing," Vermeil said.
Pro Bowl players in quarterback Trent Green, running back Priest Holmes, fullback Tony Richardson and tight end Tony Gonzalez assure the Chiefs of plenty of firepower.
Green trails only Peyton Manning for the most yards passing in the past two seasons combined (7,729 to 8,467). Holmes, who rebounded from hip surgery in 2003 to score an NFL-record 27 touchdowns, has been running with greater energy than he ever showed a year ago.
Nine-time Pro Bowlers Will Shields at guard and Willie Roaf at tackle anchor an offensive line which ranks among the very best.
Wide receiver is the only worry on offense.
Never a strength, the situation grew bleaker with injuries that put Marc Boerigter on injured reserve and sidelined Johnnie Morton until this week.
In addition, rookie tight end Kris Wilson, who had the most impressive camp of any newcomer, broke his leg and will be gone at least half the season.
The unsettled look among the pass catchers might even take the ball out of Dante Hall's hands on some punts and kick-offs. If Hall winds up shouldering a greater load at receiver, Vermeil will not risk overworking the little guy who had five touchdown returns in '03.
But what of the defense?
Cunningham, fired four years ago as coach, is back doing what he does best — coordinating and energizing a defense. He has almost the exact same personnel as the unit that finished ranked 29th a year ago. But he's installed a new scheme and, perhaps equally important, a new
mind-set.
"You don't have to watch our 9-on-7 drills to see the difference," said linebacker Scott Fujita. "You can actually hear the drill, too. It's a completely different attitude."
Gravelly voiced and salty-tongued, Cunningham's influence is being felt everywhere.
"There's been a trickle-down effect ... to the whole football team," Vermeil said. "He's a tough guy and you can't have enough tough guys on a football team. He brings that little extra dimension that rubs off into everything."
At least one front row observer swears it'll be a new defense.
"They're attacking now," said Gonzalez. "They're rallying to the football. I think this is the year to do it, and I'm talking Super Bowl. This playoff stuff, we expect that. But we really do think our chances are good to go to the Super Bowl and win the thing this year."

Golfer Ward discusses turning professional
GOING DEEP
P
GOING DEEP
The men's golf team will turn to Kevin Ward for experience and leadership this season. The Jayhawks will play this weekend in Jonesborough, Tenn., at The Ridges Intercollegiate tournament.
SHANE KUCERA
skucera@kansan.com
Fifth-year senior Kevin Ward has dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour since he was 13 years old.
This summer, Ward took strides toward reaching that goal.
In two months, Ward won the 96th Amateur Missouri Championship, the Kansas Golf Association Four-ball Championship and the Kansas Amateur Match Play Championship.
If Ward keeps his game at the top and his strokes to a minimum as he did all summer long, the Kansas men's golf team can look forward to improving upon their fifth-place finish at last year's Big 12 Championship and winning tournaments along the way.
This week Ward shares what he has to say about golf and much more:
For the last two years, I've just known that playing golf is going to be my career so I don't worry about school.
I see people stressing out about grades or getting upset about a test and I just kinda laugh. It's not that I don't care about school, I just don't take it as serious now that I know I'm going to be golfing.
I haven't paid for anything in four years now. Anything from balls to shoes to clubs to clothes — pretty much anything I need for golf or for working out is paid for.
■ When I'm playing my best golf, I'm pretty close to the best player on the team — when everyone is playing well they're damn good.
"I don't know if being on the golf team
helps to attract women,but us guys, we do just fine."
Kevin Ward Kansas golfer
I play with Titleist irons, Titleist wedges, and a Taylor Made driver right now. If you keep winning it's hard to change clubs.
■ I transferred from Wichita State because I just didn't like the school down there. This program has been better than theirs in the years past, and I just did
n't want to be down there. I love the competitiveness of the players that are here.
I don't know if being on the golf team helps to attract women, but us guys, we do just fine. I don't know what it is, maybe it's because we dress nice or have nice cars or something like that.
I'd like to see the people that don't think golf is a real sport try to play 36 holes in a day and see how tired they are. Some people don't realize how hard it is.
I think it's OK that there are a few private clubs that don't allow women to golf.
Sometimes they can hold people up, and when women are not around you can golf with your shirt off.

too far. Sometimes guys are quoting scripture and praising God for everything that happens and I'm just not like that.
I'd consider myself a spiritual person for sure. I think God plays a role in my life and with golf, but some athletes take it
I spend about five hours a day golfing. Somewhere around 40 to 45 hours a week I'm on the golf course.
Kucera is an Omaha, Neb. junior in Journalism
I really hate the guys on the Oklahoma State golf team. Sometimes you want to ring their necks, but that is kind of because they're good.

Ward's first chance to defend home territory here in Lawrence will be at the Kansas Invitational starting Sept. 20.
Dolphins replace Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Dolphins acquired Lamar Gordon from the St. Louis Rams on yesterday in exchange for a third-draft draft pick in 2005.
DAVIE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins may have found a replacement for retired running back Ricky Williams.
The deal was contingent on Gordon passing a physical. He arrived at the team's training facility yesterday afternoon.
lacty yet yesterday.
The 6-foot-1, 228-pound Gordon was the third-string back in St. Louis behind Marshall Faulk and first-round pick Steven Jackson. But he certainly will move up the depth chart in Miami, where the Dolphins have struggled to replace Williams since he abruptly retired a week before training camp.
"He's a real good runner, and whenever he got in the game he was always successful," said Dolphins right tackle John St. Clair, who played with Gordon in St. Louis. "He's got size on him, but at the same time he's quick and can hit the holes hard. I have nothing but good to say about him. He's a good addition. He's a hard worker and he never complains."
never complaints.
Coach Dave Wannstedt decided this week to have Travis Minor, Sammy Morris and Leonard Henry share snaps in Sunday's season opener against Tennessee. The trio combined for 59 carries for 152 yards (2.6 yards per carry) during the preseason behind an oft-maligned offensive line.
Wannstedt said he didn't expect Gordon to do much in the opener.
"The only thing that gives us a maybe chance is that he's coming from a very similar system that we run," Wannstedt said.

Elections draw more freshmen
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA
francovigia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The new freshmen student senators weren't able to celebrate with drinks at Johnny's Tavern, as the KUnited coalition celebrated its victories in last year's spring election.
Instead, Student Senate's newest members discovered their status by checking their e-mail.
The winners were excited.
---
"I'm really stoked," said Jonathan
Doerr, Olathe freshman. "I'm still pretty giddy."
Doerr said he might celebrate with a coffee with some friends.
Three times as many freshmen voted in the this year's Student Senate election this than last year's. Five freshmen will represent their class at the Student Senate meeting next week.
The new representatives are Doerr, Hannah Love, Dennis Chanay, Alex Treaster and Selena Self. This marks the second time in KU history that the freshman class will be represented in
Student Senate.
"A lot of freshmen coming in don't know a lot about campus," said Treaster, Shawnee freshman. "It helps to have a representative in student government."
Vote counts for the election tallied about 420 compared to 140 last year. Along with the official candidates, write-in candidate John Kerry received two votes.
Treaster and Love, Dodge City freshman, said campaigning was the key to winning.
Love said she handed out heart-shaped flyers and Treaster said he campaigned by chalking the sidewalks and talking to people at Mrs. E's and on his floor in McColum Hall.
"I did a lot of campaigning," Love said. "If you really want it, you do what it takes."
Student Senate revamped the elections this year because of last year's poor results. Three major changes increased the success of the election.

Chancellor looks to future in address
By Ross Fitch
fritch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chancellor Robert Hemenway's message to faculty and staff yesterday was clear
"We can't be silent. We have to speak. We have to tell our story," Hemenway said.
Hemenway and Provost David Shulenburger spoke at the annual Faculty/Staff Convocation yesterday afternoon
Shulenburger recognized numerous teaching, leadership and research award recipients.
He also spoke of the challenges the University would face in the future. Kansas parents are not considering the University of Kansas as the top option for their children after high school. Political and cultural wars at the state and federal level are impeding the pursuit of knowledge, and some people think the University's sense of community could vanish as it gets closer to being a top-25 public university.
Central to the chancellor's address was his desire to see the University better tell its story to its key audiences, including prospective students, alumni and elected officials. In order to accomplish this, the chancellor intro-

Saudi Arabian student remembers tragedy talks to others about his experiences

It doesn't matter to Hamdan Alharbi that Sept. 11 is three years past. Furthermore, it's not important that the events were more than 12,000 miles away.
Three years later, Alharbi is affected every day.
Alhari is a Saudi Arabian studying at the University of Kansas.
In August 2001, Alharbi came to the University to study geology under his work contract with Armaco, a Saudi-based oil company.
The company had regularly sponsored international students' study abroad in return for working for the oil company for the same amount of years as a student's study.
The morning of the terrorist attacks, he walked to class, as any day, but something was different. The teacher was speaking too fast for his, at that time, limited English comprehension, he said. So he didn't know what happened.
It wasn't until he walked to the Kansas Union and saw the televisions that he got it: America was under attack, and worse yet, the suspects were from his country.
Alharbi didn't want to talk to people, he said, in fear of their reaction. He spent a lot of time listening.
The Sept. 11 attacks unfolded less than a month after Alharbi came to
It's been three years, and Alharbi still listens a lot. But his English is better now, making it easier for him to explain a religion and a culture that for many Americans remains perplexing. Explaining Islam

He didn't know what to expect. He was from the same country, a part of the same religion and from a similar cultural background as the terrorists who were responsible the attacks.
Soon after the attacks, news started to spread about Muslim mistreatment in the United States.
Alharsi and his family worried that he would become a target of racist violence.
Alharib said some of his friends who were studying in Tulsa told him they had been ignored by people they were friendly with a short time before and they were harassed with jeers and cold

Juggling club finds funds, members
ROCK CHALK
BY SHERI-DAWN DOWIS
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
While many students juggle classes with work and extracurricular activities, Justin Gramarye, founding president of the KU juggling club, decided to take this cliché literally.
Wednesday night Student Senate passed a bill to fund the juggling club for $580. With this money they will purchase equipment such as bean bags, balls, rings, clubs and other juggling objects.
Gramarye, Fairfax, Va., graduate student, got the idea to start the club after sitting behind a classmate who was wearing a shirt that had two people juggling clubs on the back. This classmate is juggling club co-founder and treasurer, Emily Tremain. Tremain's speciality is
Tremain has been juggling for only two-and-a-half years. She was involved in a juggling club at her former college Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, Minn., but when she inquired about a juggling club at the University, she found no information.

Justin Gramarye, Fairfax, Va., graduate student, Ananthnarayan Hariharan, Nasik, India, graduate student, and Bradley Bargei, Lawrence graduate student, cross balls in midair at the juggling club meeting Wednesday night.
It wasn't until they started asking around campus that they found out there had been a juggling club in the past.
"That's when we started pushing" Grammarve said.
According to a 1993 issue of the Kansan, the previous juggling club was established in 1991 and consisted of 10

A Jan. 5, 2005, trial date was scheduled for Martin K. "Marty" Miller yesterday in the Douglas County District Court, according to the Douglas County's District Attorney's Office.
Date set in librarian murder trial
Miller has been charged with the first-degree murder of his wife, Mary Miller, a 46-year-old KU librarian. Mary Miller had worked as a librarian since 1979. Initially, police believed Miller's death was an accident. Then a coroner ruled that Miller died of asphyxiation July 28 at the couple's home, 2105 Carolina St.

Playful Differences When Sexual Opposites Attract

"Wanna do it?" These are the notorious words of your boyfriend to let you know that he's horny and ready to go. Of course, you want to know what needs he wants met, but this approach doesn't do it for you. You're a romantic. You need the sweet kisses, sweet words and a little bit of foreplay. Your boyfriend wants to go right into it and finish in as little time as possible. He's your definition of kinky. He talks dirty, uses toys and is a Kamasutra expert. The standard missionary position is all you need, and you say no thank you to extras. After all, you're not interested in making a porno flick.

The truth is that when the word "sex" is mentioned each of us conjures up different thoughts and images about what it means exactly. The question is: When sexual opposites attract and one is kinkier than the other, how do you make things work between the sheets?
make things work between the sheets?
Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality, says that communication and experimentation are the keys to a successful sex life if a partner is willing. Individuals desire certain things because of a sexual kick. "They don't want to experiment because they are wacky, perverted or kinky," Dailey says.
says.
Dailey says opposites are bound to attract. Couples usually start out based on sexual attraction and then begin to fall for other things. He says when strangers meet, they are very likely to end up in situations with humongous sexual differences for whatever reason. People come from different backgrounds and are exposed to different things at different times. Dailey says if you can handle being open to experimentation, then trying new things gradually can create great advances in the bedroom. This way you can find out if what your partner desires is actually your cup of tea and go from there.
go from there. "Start by taking things slow," says Dustin Stoll, Lawrence resident. "Things can be overwhelming if you rush it. When introducing something
siders himself savored past, a guy was over at his place and excited about the sex they were about to have. Stoll took handcuffs and ropes out of his closet with the intent to talk him through the process of bondage and see if he would be up for it. Stoll says the guy's face turned from smiles to a look of terror, and the whole idea turned him off. Needless to say, sex wasn't in the cards for them that night.
For some, sexual differences are a constant problem, and for others only occur every once in a while. Hannah Slagle, Lawrence resident, says she has sex with her current boyfriend every day and things couldn't be more perfect. Slagle considers herself to be kinky in the sense that she is willing to try anything once. Anai sex, toys and
dressing up are all part of the excitement for her. Usually, her partners don't contest what she wants, but this isn't always the case. In an old relationship, Slagle thought it would be fun to incorporate a little bit of role-playing into her and her boyfriend's sexual escapades for the evening. She wanted to be taken as if they had just met at a bar and for him to have his way with her. Slagle started biting her boyfriend in all of the excitement and doing so ticked him off. He wanted to stop right then and there and wasn't in a sexual mood anymore. Slagle says she figures they should have talked about it after the incident to figure out exactly what the problem was.
incident to figure out exactly what the problem was. So, perhaps sexual differences may draw some closer together with experimentation and playfulness, but sometimes, extremely kinky people may send their partner running for the hills with their anal beads. Each person needs to be up front at the beginning with his or her wants and desires and determine a compromise that can keep each person comfortable and guessing what the next move will be.

The absurd history behind 68 years of prohibition in Kansas By Erik Johnson, Jayplay wri
When a group of journalism students took over the Lawrence Daily Journal one day in 1908, Lawrence residents opened the paper to receive what was a shock to very few: Lawrence was still wet. Former student Harry Kemp, in perfect prose, tells how the "evidence" was accumulated:
One night I went with several friends to see The Bottoms and their gay activity.
First we went to a house of better style; We drank some beer and lingered for awhile. Then forth we passed into the lowest place In which a white man dared to show his face. A little joint it was, unpapered, bare Possessed of a stove, a table and a chair. But on inquiry careful, even here A dusky woman furnished us with beer. We killed a quart or so, and to a man Our cheeks grew flushed, our tongues more glibly ran. We then proceeded down the street, and came Where reputation never had a name. Here in a stuffy room, with finger snaps And exhortations, Negro lads shot craps. Nor did we tarry long, and even here Between us we killed another quart of beer.

It's 9 p.m. on a Friday night. Having showered and readied yourselves for another all-too-short weekend of swirling stale brews and vainly hitting on that newest crush, you set out to the closest liquor store - the one where the clerk knows your name and politely greets you with each visit.

But, in this story at least, that liquor store doesn't exist. In fact, every purveyor of potent potables in Lawrence has long since been shut down, either boarded up or sold to another more "legitimate" business.

Confused and frustrated, but determined to get your fix, your friend in the back seat whips up his phone to make a call. A short conversation of muffled voices and uncomfortable whispers ensues.

It's a silent exchange of illegal goods guaranteed to finally get the night officially started.

national prohibition began - the story behind Kansas' prohibition years begins with the influence of a young bride over her new husband, continues with ardent conservatism and ends with inevitable public outcry.
outcry. The first National Temperance Movement to ban alcohol began work on a dry bill in 1878 in Lawrence, and by January 1879, after enough public support was gathered, a roll-call bill was brought before Captain George Grever and the rest of the Kansas Legislature. Grever, a democratic lobbyist in favor of keeping Kansas wet, voted a
strong "no," to the immediate disdain of his new bride, Jennie Newland Greever. When votes were tallied, the "no's" won by a single vote.

By 1880 Kansas was legally dry but as wet as ever. Open saloons existed in nearly every city for another 10 years, the only difference being they no longer had to pay for a license. A December 1978 issue of *Kanhistique* on Kansas Prohibition notes the offensiveness of some Lawrence saloons: "Respectable women crossed the street rather than pass [the saloon's] doors. This is not so much because

girls even took part in forcing Kansas dry when in 1899 they engaged in a "lips-that touch-liquor-sshall-never-touch-mine" campaign. But even the efforts of Carry A. Nation, a crazed dry purporter who smashed saloons for years with a bible in one hand and an axe in the other, couldn't stop growing towns like Lawrence from getting drunk.

When, in 1908, the Lawrence Daily Journal (now the Lawrence Journal World) allowed the KU journalism class to assume responsibility of the April $25^{\mathrm{th}}$ issue, residents of Lawrence received what may not have been the shocker the students had hoped: Lawrence was as wet as it ever had been. The students detailed their adventure drinking at an underground joint, even giving a precise location where liquor could be bought.
could be bought.
The student's not-so-investigative report paid off, but not in the way they had intended. Lawrence received its biggest liquor overhaul that year, and only a year later the Legislature outlawed all in-state liquor sales, effectively shutting down pharmacists who had actually been prescribing alcoholic cures for ailments ranging from asthma to malaria.
Lawrence and the rest of Kansas remained officially dry another 39 years. Students and residents desperate for a drink - and there continued to be many dealt secretly with bootleggers and risky, homemade moonshine drinks. State officials went as far as to refuse to christen the U.S. Kansas with wine before World War I. Only after sailors refused to man the vessel did the ship's captain smash a bottle of champagne over the bow, to the anger of then Gov. Hoch.
then Gov. Hoch. Fifteen years after the $21^{\mathrm{st}}$ Amendment repealed prohibition nationwide, Kansas officials finally came to their senses. Under the pressure of returning WWII fighters, the state prohibition was finally repealed in 1948. It would be still another 40 years until current liquor laws would take effect, but Kansans were once again free to partake in all the acts of moral depravity and debauchery we've come to enjoy so much.

[Let's get wasted and get in touch with our outer Willy.]
I recently acquired a girl's number I'm interested in. How long should I wait before calling her?
-Vladimir, Sophomore
a
Jessi: Two days and I can detect his eagerness. Anymore than five days and I feel the heat of the back burner. I'd say you're safe with three or four.
Chris: The idea that there are "rules" about all of this is dumb. I know girls that love it when the guy calls that next day and others that think it's never too late. Just use your gut instinct and make the call. But if your really have no idea, two days is the standard.
Q
What's an ephrodisiac and is there such a thing?
-Lucy, Junior
a
Jessi: Aphrodisiacs are foods or smells said to increase arousal for both sexes. Despite popular belief, most foods don't have this effect. Chocolate is the only food I know to produce a calming, drug-like reaction. As for smells, baby powder, gasoline, and fresh-baked cookies are said to make a girl randy. For men, lavender and buttered popcorn supposedly do the trick. The most powerful and bona fide aphrodisiac of all lies within your own bod. Pheromones a.k.a. "Do me now or else" chemicals, are released by your body in PHAT members of the opposite sex. Also, anything by Marvin Gaye tends to float boats.
Chris: When I was in $8^{\mathrm{th}}$ grade my friend bought some Realm cologne which supposedly contained pheromones that would attract the ladies. I wore the stuff and nothing happened, thus proving that science is the devils work.
Q
I have a very difficult time approaching girls. Is there any way to help alleviate this problem?
- William, Freshman
a
Jessi: Well, Willy, it sounds like you need to find your inner Willy. Begin by assessing how awesome you are and focus on activities in which you excel. Once you find your strengths, you'll form the confidence you need to talk to a lovely lady. Pumping iron seems to make guys feel better about themselves, too.

Hands gently glide over the finished surface of a wooden armoire, caress the soft fabric of a loveseat and carefully pick up a barbell salt and pepper shaker resting between a sculpted fist. Couples huddle, whispering, pointing and gaping with half-open mouths as they stare intently at a picture called "Emily's Mystery." Young women can stop and admire clothes in boutiques such as Tomboy, Spool or birdie', and they make their way over to the beer garden sponsored by Boulevard Brewing Company for a cold wheat draft.

THE LENS FROT
Thousands of people gather on the first Friday of every month in the Crossroads Art District surrounding Baltimore and 20th Street in Kansas City, Mo to admire the work of local and national artists and to cherish
what was once a decaying industrial district. The event, properly named First Friday, officially started in January of 2002, years after artist's studios began
to dot the district.
What began as an event to showcase artists' paintings, sculptures and photographs has blossomed into quite the social affair. Along with the art galleries, local shops have also kept their doors open until at least 9 p.m. on the first Friday of every month, adding yet another attraction to the event. Emily Eddins of the Dolphin gallery, 1901 Baltimore Avenue, believes that the boutiques and restaurants bring a diversity the neighborhood needs. Now, visitors can walk from gallery to gallery, shop to shop, and take in dinner at one of the near-by restaurants. Jeff Becker, director of the Arts Incubator, a facility in which artists come together to share expenses and showcase art, says that he really enjoys the artistic community uniting. "First Friday has created an environment where the arts have woven themselves into the fabric of the community," he says.
says.
Only industries and small businesses used to inhabit the community to which Becker refers. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the district would be deserted. It wasn't until Jim Leedy moved his studio into the area that things began to change. Soon after he started his studio, Leedy purchased three more buildings in the area, and dedicated his space on 2012 Baltimore to a non-profit contemporary arts center to help aspiring artists procure space in which to work. John Hachmeister, University of Kansas professor of sculpture, says that First Friday is all that it is because of "the love and devotion of people like Jim Leedy and John O'Brien, who took many chances, financial and otherwise, to create the 'scene'." This is a neighborhood nourished by artists for art lovers.
nourished by artists for art exhibitions. Galleries dot the neighborhood, and the past and present of the place can be seen in the beauty of a colorful contemporary piece contrasting with a brick wall as it hangs above a cement floor. Although the Crossroads District supports the artists in the neighborhood, the area transforms itself on First Friday. As you stroll from gallery to shop, the sound of a three-piece band floats through the air, coffee shops have turned into make-shift galleries, and visitors carry around plastic cups of Sangria.

In the eyes of Hachmeister, First Friday is a celebration. It is a time for artists to come together after being locked in their studios or struggling to make a living. It's a time to have fun and celebrate the creative spirit, he says.

venue
By Meredith Desmond, Jayplay writer
In 1985, David Millstein stumbled upon a classified ad in the paper for downtown property that was for sale. Interested, he investigated further and found himself in front of a building on the corner of $7^{\text{th}}$ and Massachusetts.
"When I walked in to answer the ad, it was just kind of a dark pit, essentially, with a boxing ring in it," Millstein says.
Yes, a boxing ring – the only thing really intact in the whole place and belonging to some fraternities that had rented it out to do, well, some boxing. The rest of the building was decomposed. Millstein says the place had been a victim of neglect and abuse for years, with no seats, a stage on the same level as the ground floor, and an interior completely covered in dark black paint. Not exactly a prime piece of property.
So, he bought it.
Millstein and then-partner Charlie Oldfather, retired University of Kansas law professor, invested $280,000 in the disheveled building. They formed Liberty Hall Associates and worked on restoring the venue immediately. The rest is history.
Well, not quite. The rich history of Liberty Hall actually began in 1855, when the building on $7^{\mathrm{th}}$ and Mass. was the printing site of The Herald of Freedom, an abolitionist newspaper. A group of southerners who disagreed with
Lawrence's anti-slavery standpoints destroyed the place in a siege a year later. Not to be defeated, Kansan Samuel Edwin Poole rebuilt the structure and gave it its namesake. By 1870, it was the nucleus of social and political activity in Kansas.
But the people needed to be entertained. In 1883, a renovated and expanded Liberty Hall became the J.D. Bowerstock Opera House, attracting large audiences to its theatre shows. It seemed doomed, though-the whole place was destroyed, again, in 1911 by a backstage fire.
Less than a year later, Liberty Hall as we know it today was complete. The interior was ornate, complete with chandeliers, mosaics, marble, and elegant double staircases. Less attention was given to the property as years went on, and the hall's beauty began to deteriorate. That's where David Millstein comes in. Liberty Hall Associates restored the entire building, inside and out. Millstein did most of the contracting and design himself, bringing in local artists to paint murals on the walls, while Oldfather provided financing. He was able to save some of the original design elements, particularly the chandeliers and stained glass windows.
In 1986, Liberty Hall opened for
business with "Battle of Blackjack," a fitting play about the early abolitionist movement in Kansas. Tim Griffith, who has served as general manager at the hall since then, says original plans of continuing with live theatre fizzled out. Too much competition meant a new plan: the video store opened in 1986, and the upstairs theatre was finished in 1989. Since Liberty's first film played (Akira Kurosawa's Ran), the venue has been home to small independent films, obscure rental movies, and many genres of musicians and live shows - generally providing indie street cred for lots of local bands.
Millstein's find is, as he puts it, "serendipitous", simply answering a classified ad and turning it into this great success. All he wanted for Liberty Hall was to bring it back to its original intention: a venue for the town to entertain itself. He did so by opening it up to concerts and movies - and not, as he says, basing it all on alcohol.
Keep that in mind the next time you're at a live show on the tail end of your fifth beer show, waving a lighter in the air and seriously pissing off that girl in front of you (you're screaming off-key jumbled lyrics right into her ear).
Or, at least look around and appreciate the place for what it's been through.

Cocktail of the week
A
The Hurricane
Proven recently by the dreaded Francis, there's no denying it's hurricane season. So why not have a cocktail of the week inspired by
everyone's favorite natural disaster? Legend has it, the Hurricane originated at the infamous Pat O'Brien's Bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans. There are several varieties of the drink, but the original variation was pretty strong. Here are two variations, one simple, one a bit more complex.
1: A simple storm
.75 ounces Jagermeister
.75 ounces Yokon Jack
Dash Irish Cream
Pour ingredients directly into an old-fashioned glass filled with ice. As they swirl around, you'll understand how this drink got its name. Garnish with a wedge of lime.
From the Classic Cocktails Book by Daniel R. White and Andrew McMeel and gumbopages.com
2: Wreck real havoc
1. 5 ounces light rum, 1.5 ounces dark rum, 1 ounce orange juice, 1 ounce fresh lime juice (NOT Rose's or Real-Lime), 1/4 cup passion fruit juice, or 1 tablespoon passion fruit syrup, 1 teaspoon superfine sugar, 1 teaspoon grenadine Cherries with stems, and orange slice to garnish.
In a cocktail shaker, mix the rum, passion fruit juice or syrup, the other juices and the sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the cherries and stir to combine. Then add ice and shake. Half-fill a hurricane glass with ice. Then strain drink into glass; add ice to fill. Garnish with orange slice and cherries.

The list of 40 rules included having to drink if Bush said, "America is safer" or if a person of color appeared on the screen. Everyone that played was drunk by the end of his speech.

Adventures in coffee drinking
bite
By Jennifer Voldness, Jayplay writer
I walk into Starbucks one morning, smiling like I always do when I am about to see the love of my life: my grand nonfat latte. I look at the comfy chairs and the friendly staff and I begin to think about all the other coffee shops in Lawrence. I don't believe anyone should be as inviting as this. I often look at these other cafes I didn't, however, think about how much coffee I would need to consume in order to do my research.
28&
Java Break, 17 $^{7}$ th St.; I have often driven by this coffee shop and wondered what it's like. Walking up to the counter, I see the large menu of hot drinks, teas and specialty drinks and realize I am definitely not in Sambucks anymore. Among others, the menu boasts the Gradey Sex Bomb, a hot and creamy drink the clerk tells me is quite popular among Java Break regulars. On the recommendation of the clerk, I order a chocolate-flavored lced Alexander and a latte as well. (I had to know how it stacks up to my usual.) I take a sip of the each and am pleasantly surprised. The lced Alexander is fantastic. I have had my fair share of frapuccinos, and this ranks as high. I then try my latte. I am a hard sell, but this is surprisingly tasty. It has just the right balance of milk and foam, and definitely of caffeine. I sit for a while with my treasures taking in the ambiance of the shop. Some people are cheerers opt to listen to iPods and play on laptops. It looks like they aren't going anywhere for a while. I finish my drink and decide to continue my research.

O
La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St.: Walking into this shop is tough for me. It's across the street from my usual coffee locale. I look straight at my destination, only noticing Starbucks out of the corner of my eye. I feel a wave of guilt for cheating on my love. But I remain steadfast and go inside. I have past some small tables toward the counter and notice a large table of older gentlemen chatting while sipping coffee out of mugs they clearly brought from home. When I ask the man behind the counter what he recommends, he says his favorite is the Iced Indonesian. He tells me it is the most sophisticated of iced drinks. I go with that. No latte this time though, I am already feeling the caffeline.
I noticed that La Prima Tazza shares some of the same menu items as Java Break, the lced Indonesian being one of them. Also on the menu is my last treat, the lced Alexander. When he brings my drink, he waits until I taste it, looking at me in anticipation. It's different, I tell him, but flavorful and delicious. He turns away, satisfied with my response. I decide to sip on this, because with two shots of espresso, I feel I should take it slow. After reading two chapters in my ethics book in record time, I look at my empty cup in astonishment. I had polished the whole drink off without realizing it. I decide I am fine, though, not too wired yet.
5
Borders Books, Music and Cafe 700 New Hampshire St.: I look over the menu at this small bookstore cafe, and decide on a chai tea latte, something else I have returned in abundance at Starbucks. Iavor, I am satisfied with the Borders version of the cinnamon flavored tea. I look around. The environment is different than my other stops. No one is talking, most people are solo, and nearly everyone is reading. I sit and watch a clearly stressed-out young man drink three cups of coffee. I figure we are probably both on the same level of caffeine consumption.

It's now after 10 p.m. and I decide my research is complete. On my drive home I think about my day. Starbucks, I decide, will always be my first love; the one that I compare all others to. However, it cannot be my only love anymore. I have seen and tasted other things, and I decide it would not be fair to me or to Starbucks to remain monogamous any longer.
bucks to remind me hemafice When I get home I realize it's past my bedtime. After tossing and turning for three hours with not so much as a yawn, I decide although I had an adventurous day on my coffee quest, this is the last time I will be drinking five cups of coffee in one day.

The Cookout (☆1/2)
PG-13, 85 minutes, South Wind 12 The latest in a years-long slate of broad African-American comedies, The Cookout is amateurish and categorically offensive in that it presents "blackness" as having inherent entertainment value. For all the talk about liberal Hollywood, the dream factory sure spews out a lot of uninformed junk.
I AM A SUPER FAN OF THE BIG THING. I WANT TO BE WITH YOU AND BE WITH YOU. I WANT TO BE WITH YOU AND BE WITH YOU.
The film assembles a fine cast and a small army of screenwriters to tell the story of the Anderson family. The youngest Anderson, Todd (Quran Pender), is a first-round draft pick in the NBA,
so he moves into an upscale New Jersey suburb with his new girlfriend. An early scene where the Anderson clan crashes the neighborhood, sending its white residents screaming up their pristine lawns in
horror, has a pointed satiric candor that the rest of the movie could have used more of.
After hearing about his cousin Todd's good fortune, a pot-smoking kid confuses the word "draft" and says, "Drafted? Damn this war!" That's a funny line, but it also illustrates the triviality of this meandering little movie. I remember this issue coming up in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, where low-economic black kids were shown as falling victim to an unofficial draft system that sells the armed forces as their only viable option. Why not explore that problem in a feature film? How much longer will films like The Cookout, in
which NBA stardom catapults a black youth and his family out of the ghetto, dramatize one-in-a-million fantasies as the only avenue to black success?
Such a throwaway comedy might be less of a disappointment if there were a more diverse selection of black films to choose from. Whites get movies like Zach Braff's Garden State, about an estranged twentysomething hooked on antidepressants who returns home for his mother's funeral. Even a small portion of Garden State's insight into modern life would be welcome in the wasteland of black cinema.
-Stephen Shupe
Wicker Park (✩✩)
PG-13, 115 minutes
Wicker Park is one awkward situation after another.
The key elements of the story are told in flashbacks and jump cuts from various perspectives of three central characters. The first half of the movie is told from Matt's (Josh Hartnett) point of view. He is a rising star in his investment banking firm, about to close the biggest deal of his career and marry the sister of his boss. Through one of the movie's many random coincidences, we learn that Matt was once in love with a beautiful dancer named Lisa (Diane Kruger) who strangely disappeared from his life two years ago. In a restaurant he thinks he sees and hears Lisa, but doesn't get a good enough look at her face. He pieces together various clues and tries to track down the once lost love of his life. Matt ends up breaking into an apartment that he believes is Lisa's, and is right ... sort of. The Lisa who he meets in the apartment is not his Lisa from two years ago, but a completely different Lisa who happens to have the same taste in shoes, dress, compacts etc.
I could write a 10-page essay attempting to explain the plot and still probably wouldn't get through it. This is one of those movies where everything could be solved if the characters in it made at least one rational decision before the last ten minutes. Scenes that are supposed to be taut are really just annoying and drawn out. Wicker Park's awkward moments come when we realize the story is not just about one potential stalker, but two. The movie made me question when the line is drawn between love and obsession, but the plot is too confusing to know if that is its intent. By the end, it is really hard to care for Matt because he has made things a lot more frustrating than they needed to be in the first place.

Vanity Fair (☆☆1/2)
PG-13, 137 minutes, South Wind 12
A movie's pieces – its art direction, music,
cinematography – are supposed to work together to serve the story. If the story leaves you with nothing, then no matter how beautiful the rest of it is, the film becomes meaningless, and that is Vanity Fair's curse
PG-13, 137 minutes, South Wind 12
Based on the popular novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, director Mia Nair's film is beautiful and sweeping and all that. But it ends with a thud, a feeling of okay or whatever.
As Becky Sharp, Reese Witherspoon is sharp as a needle. Her Becky is a conniving, status-hungry, wrong-side-of-the-tracks social climber. Determined not to die alone and penniless, Becky uses the easiest thing at her disposable -her sexuality - to aid in her conquest of London society. Helping in her endeavors is a wealthy peer, Amelia (Romola Garai), and Amelia's engagement to a wealthy but untrusting soldier (Bend It Like Beckham's Jonathan Rhys-Meyers). Becky throws herself onto man after man until finally winning the heart of a soldier with
THE MOTHER OF THE GREAT GUY.
a gambling problem (James Purefoy) who is the one man who sees her for who she is. The plot goes on to touch upon a flirtation between Becky and her rich neighbor (a creepy Gabriel Byrne), a birth, a death, unrequited love, etc.
Now all this sounds great. Perhaps it was the length of time to tell the story or the lack of change in Becky's character, but all the goodness the movie had going for it fell flat and by the end, I learned little. What I did walk away with is knowledge previously given to me by Seventeen magazine (with Witherspoon on the cover) that all the pretty things on the outside can never amount to pretty things on the inside.

Q and Not U Power
New York's dance punk scene continues to expand its influence westward. Leaving in its wake a host of diluted bands hoping to replicate its sloppy, frantic energy, Q and Not U's latest release, Power, is simply the sound of a band trying too hard to fit in. By attempting to formulate an equation to imitate a genre that is built on electricity and spontaneity, Q and Not U have sapped their sound of both.
Most of the thirteen tracks on Power are wholly uninspired and subdued, like
the muzak version of a Blondie record. Q and Not U sound timid and unable to simply cut loose and enjoy themselves. It's this reservation that prevents the album from becoming a frenetic, dance worthy success. Still, there are a few highlights on Power, tracks that should have been the building blocks for the sound the band wanted to achieve. "X-Polynation" is a raucous, energetic blast that is even able to overcome an ill-advised reedy flute. The album's best track, "Book of Flags," is a bouncing, funk-filled song that appears late on the album, giving Q and Not U's career hope for the future.
Q and Not U can make you move at times on Power, but the album's rigidity allows for few highlights. Q and Not U have the ability, now they just need to relax and play like they have nothing to lose.

Lloyd Banks
The Hunger For More
Let's get this much straight from the outset. G-Unit will win no awards for lyricism, subject matter, or breaking new ground conceptually. They will not lead hip-hop into any Golden Age or remind listeners of the genre's heyday. The strength of Lloyd Banks, and that of his partner in rhyme, 50 Cent, lies squarely on their ability to harmonize on a beat better than anyone spitting. As Banks demonstrates on the chorus of "Warrior," where he enunciates every syllable of the phrase "I'm a War-i-or" with earnest, G-Unit's is a sound uniquely rooted in the full-on enjoyment of the now.
On the group's third formal disc – and Banks' debut - Interscope's Shady imprint has found it's most marketable
homegrown star. Banks has a voice that resides somewhere in the space between Shyne and Jakakiss, where flows are thick like molasses and syrupy like syzurp. it's put to good use on a spate of tracks that retreads 50 Cent's debut nearly track for track. There's the club anthem "Fire," the staccato ode to philandering "Playboy" and even the Snoop assisted opiate "I Get High" which features a keyboard riff that swirls like a wafting cloud of purple haze. While Eminem and Nate Dogg make an appearance on "Warrior, Part 2" that sounds more contractual than essential, the masterpiece here is "Til The End." The track turns a cliched day in the life narrative into a still life of struggle by not just providing observations ("Hoping your moms ain't the mama on crack rock").
A little over a year after the onset of 50 Cent, Banks' Hunger For More is definitely a satisfying second course – but only necessary for those who weren't satiated by an already hardy entree.
Grade: B
If you got down with this, go out and cop 50 Cent's Power of a Dollar or the 8 Mile soundtrack. Holla!

ASK CAPTAIN RIBMAN
Dear Captain RibMan,
I'm studying to become an architect. I have an 8:00 a.m. required calculus course and I can't keep my eyes open. I am not a morning person. I'd appreciate some advice on how to stay awake for this class.

Dear Keith,
Maybe put some jello in your pants? I can't imagine sleeping with jello in my pants.

Dear Captain RibMan,
In my American History class, I sit next to what has to be the hottest woman who has ever lived. She is unbelievable! She talks to me almost every class and I can't think of anything but her during the lecture. The thing is, I probably should drop this class before I flunk out. Or should I just ask her out and get it out of my system? Maybe that would help me concentrate?
Jackson, 19
Dear Jackson,
Get the best of both worlds. Drop the class AND ask her out. But, if it's too late to drop the class, you could explore the possibility of turning gay.
Good luck!
--Captain RibMan
Dear Captain RibMan,
I'm very determined to do something my parents would never understand. In fact, I'm not sure I could face them because I've heard them talk about other women who have done this. I'm thinking of getting my breasts enlarged. I have the money. I earned it myself from waiting tables the last three months. This is really important to me. There's no question I would look more attractive. I've never met a guy yet who wouldn't appreciate the difference. Thanks for reading. I hope you can respond.
Michelle, Age 21
Dear Michelle,
You could save yourself a lot of money and family turmoil if you could start dating men with really small hands.
Good luck!

Lost in transition
for my friend and the life we once knew
ImetPatrickwhen I wasfour, having just moved to a new neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chicago with my parents and older sister. Because this was a time in my life when I was still forbidden to even cross the street by myself, meeting new people, needless to say, wasn't very easy. My mom gradually eased into the new setting, though, and came to realize that I wasn't going to be kidnapped every time I stepped outside alone.
MORGAN MARSHAL
Taking full advantage of my newfound freedom, I was granted permission to ride my bike up the block as far as the
crooked tree, which marked the furthest boundary still visible from our house. It was a tree that just happened to sprout up directly across the street from Patrick's house.
Perhaps it was the comfort of familiarity that struck me the first time we saw each other; a boy about my age, playing much in the manner I played, on a lawn much like my lawn, in front of an upper-middle-class house much like mine. Or perhaps it was the fact we looked identical, each sharing the same pale, freckled, oh-so-easy-to-burn Irish-Catholic skin and a mess of red hair in need of a combing. Whatever it was, the connection was instant. "Hi," he said. "Hi," I said back. And with that, I crossed the street.
Nothing much changed over the following 12 years. Pat and I, with a few more friends along the way, went through nearly everything from first through twelfth grade together. Then came college. I decided to head to Kansas and see what life held beyond the Illinois border. Pat, as well as the majority of my good friends, dispersed among various state schools within the confines of the Land of Lincoln. Although it went unsaid at the time, both of us knew that the dynamic of our friendship would never be the same.
The adjustment was trying at first, but within two months I settled in and began to realize college life was for me. Pat tried
a couple of different schools before deciding college was not what he wanted at that point. And as Lawrence began to feel more like home, ties to the life I once knew began to weaken. We remained close, but I went home less and less. Such is life.
It wasn't much of a surprise when Pat called me about a year and a half ago telling me he joined the Marines. That's Pat — a month before enlisting he had planned to pursue an
acting career in Hollywood. Now he was a Marine. His decision sounded thought out and he seemed happy; therefore, so was I. Pat started basic training as I started my final year in school, both of us beginning something new, unaware of, but excited, about what the future held.
After months of talking intermittently, he called me on a Thursday, late last May. Our more recent conversations had become somewhat guarded and this one was no exception. It was neither of our faults; it was the world that was different. The United States now occupied Iraq and more and more U.S. troops were being shipped out every day. I'd been aware of this, but always refused to entertain the notion that Pat would be chosen to go.
Reality hit me hard on that coffee-colored evening in May. He told me flat-out, almost devoid of emotion, that he'd gotten the call: He was being sent to Fallujah the third week of August to serve as a machine gunner on convoy. He knew I didn't agree with the war, that I wasn't too crazy about our president who got us into it, so he didn't sugarcoat it.
With his departure imminent, the military let Pat come home for a few days the first week of August. I drove up to Chicago for the going away party and wondered,
among other things,how it would be with all of us together,the last time for at least 7 to 14 months,Pat's expected stay in Iraq.It was a long drive for someone with so much to think about.
Whatever it was, the connection was instant. "Hi," he said. "Hi," I said back.
The short visit home was just what we needed, but after a few days it was time for both of us to leave again. Pat to his station in North Carolina and me back to Kansas City. I loaded my car with whatever goods I could escape with from my parent's house and started driving down our block,
set for the seven-hour drive back to reality.
Pat, coincidentally, was packing his car as
I passed. I pulled over, in a blue Honda now
instead of on an old black Huffy with training wheels, and parked in front of the crooked tree, now just a stump. And in that moment, we were both four again. Pat's hair grown back to a wild mop from the military cut he now sported, and I, on my bike, pressing ever closer to breaching that forbidden boundary. "Hi," he
said. "Hi," I said back. And with that, I crossed the street. We turned our backs to the road, unconcerned with what lay behind us, and paced eagerly toward his backyard. The world, simple and untouched, sat waiting for us.

Golfer Ward discusses turning professional
GOING DEEP
GOING DEEP
Jared Feecker
The men's golf team will turn to Kevin Ward for experience and leadership this season. The Jayhawks will play this weekend in Jonesborough, Tenn., at The Ridges Intercollegiate tournament.
SHANE KUCERA skucera@kansan.com
Fifth-year senior Kevin Ward has dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour since he was 13 years old.
This summer, Ward took strides toward reaching that goal.
goal.
In two months, Ward won the 96th Amateur Missouri Championship, the Kansas Golf Association Four-ball Championship and the Kansas Amateur Match Play Championship.
If Ward keeps his game at the top and his strokes to a minimum as he did all summer long, the Kansas men's golf team can look forward to improving upon their fifth-place finish at last year's Big 12 Championship and winning tournaments along the way.
This week Ward shares what he has to say about golf and much more:
For the last two years, I've just known that playing golf is going to be my career so I don't worry about school.
I see people stressing out about grades or getting upset about a test and I just kinda laugh. It's not that I don't care about school, I just don't take it as serious now that I know I'm going to be golfing.
I haven't paid for anything in four years now. Anything from balls to shoes to clubs to clothes — pretty much anything I need for golf or for working out is paid for.
■ When I'm playing my best golf, I'm pretty close to the best player on the team — when everyone is playing well they're damn good.
"I don't know if being on the golf team
helps to attract women,but us guys we do just fine."
Kevin Waro Kansas golfer
I play with Titleist irons, Titleist wedges, and a Taylor Made driver right now. If you keep winning it's hard to change clubs.
I transferred from Wichita State because I just didn't like the school down there. This program has been better than theirs in the years past, and I just didn't want to be down there. I love the competitiveness of the players that are here.
I don't know if being on the golf team helps to attract women, but us guys, we do just fine. I don't know what it is, maybe it's because we dress nice or have nice cars or something like that.
I'd like to see the people that don't think golf is a real sport try to play 36 holes in a day and see how tired they are. Some people don't realize how hard it is.
I think it's OK that there are a few private clubs that don't allow women to golf.
Sometimes they can hold people up, and when women are not around you can golf with your shirt off.

too far. Sometimes guys are quoting scripture and praising God for everything that happens and I'm just not like that.
I really hate the guys on the Oklahoma State golf team. Sometimes you want to ring their necks, but that is kind of because they're good.

Ward's first chance to defend home territory here in Lawrence will be at the Kansas Invitational starting Sept. 20.
Dolphins replace Williams
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Dolphins acquired Lamar Gordon from the St. Louis Rams on yesterday in exchange for a third-round draft pick in 2005.
DAVIE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins may have found a replacement for retired running back Ricky Williams.
The deal was contingent on Gordon passing a physical. He arrived at the team's training facility yesterday afternoon.
The 6-foot-1, 228-pound Gordon was the third-string back in St. Louis behind Marshall Faulk and first-round pick Steven Jackson. But he certainly will move up the depth chart in Miami, where the Dolphins have struggled to replace Williams since he abruptly retired a week before training camp.
"He's a real good runner, and whenever he got in the game he was always successful," said Dolphins right tackle John St. Clair, who played with Gordon in St. Louis. "He's got size on him, but at the same time he's quick and can hit the holes hard. I have nothing but good to say about him. He's a good addition. He's a hard worker and he never complains."
never complaints.
Coach Dave Wannstedt decided this week to have Travis Minor, Sammy Morris and Leonard Henry share snaps in Sunday's season opener against Tennessee. The trio combined for 59 carries for 152 yards (2.6 yards per carry) during the preseason behind an oft-maligned offensive line.
Wannstedt said he didn't expect Gordon to do much in the opener.
"The only thing that gives us a maybe chance is that he's coming from a very similar system that we run," Wannstedt said.

Elections draw more freshmen
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA

The new freshmen student senators weren't able to celebrate with drinks at Johnny's Tavern, as the KUnited coalition celebrated its victories in last year's spring election.
Instead, Student Senate's newest members discovered their status by checking their e-mail.

Chancellor looks to future in address

Shulenburger recognized numerous teaching, leadership and research award recipients.
He also spoke of the challenges the University would face in the future. Kansas parents are not considering the University of Kansas as the top option for their children after high school. Political and cultural wars at the state and federal level are impeding the pursuit of knowledge, and some people think the University's sense of community could vanish as it gets closer to being a top-25 public university.
Central to the chancellor's address was his desire to see the University better tell its story to its key audiences, including prospective students, alumni and elected officials. In order to accomplish this, the chancellor intro-

Three years later, Alharbi is affected every day.
Alhbari is a Saudi Arabian studying at the University of Kansas.
In August 2001, Alharbi came to the University to study geology under his work contract with Armaco, a Saudi-based oil company.
The company had regularly sponsored international students' study abroad in return for working for the oil company for the same amount of years as a student's study.
the morning of the terrorist attacks, he walked to class, as any day, but something was different. The teacher was speaking too fast for his, at that time, limited English comprehension, he said. So he didn't know what happened.
It wasn't until he walked to the Kansas Union and saw the televisions that he got it: America was under attack, and worse yet, the suspects were from his country.
It's been three years, and Alharbi still listens a lot. But his English is better now, making it easier for him to explain a religion and a culture that for many Americans remains perplexing.

Soon after the attacks, news started to spread about Muslim mistreatment in the United States.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A dozen people accused of orchestrating the shipment of thousands of pounds of cocaine and marijuana from Mexico into the Kansas City area have been indicted on federal drug charges, authorities announced yesterday.
Accused drug traffickers indicted on federal charges
The targets of the indictment loaded narcotics into trucks, cars and trailers in Mexico, crossed the border at El Paso, Texas, then proceeded to Kansas City for distribution, said U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren. The scheme went on from around the beginning of 2002 through last month, he said.

"We consider this to be a significant disruption and dismantling of a drug operation," Melgren said.

Groups register young voters
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Open Misty Brankenship's scrapbook this fall and among the pictures and ticket stubs you'll find something she never expected to add — a voter sticker from her first election.
At 25, Brankenship has had the chance to vote the past six Election Days, though she's never been motivated before. Now, she finds herself talking politics, trying to convince others to vote, even considering volunteering with a campaign.
Across the country, and especially in swing states such as Missouri, campaigns are realizing the potential of a bloc of voters that has become increasingly complacent during the past three decades, but that many observers expect to come back to the polls in droves this fall.
"I never thought that my vote mattered," Brankenship said. "They say one vote can make a difference. I realized that there's a lot of truth in that statement."
Since the voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971, the number of younger voters has been on an overall decline. Among 18 to 24-year-olds, participation dropped from 43.4 percent in 1972 to 28.7 percent in 2000.
The number of under-30 voters and overall voter participation have slipped during the same time, too.
"There are too many of them out there right now to count," Meredith Willew, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Secretaries of State, said of efforts from VoterVirgin.com, a Web site targeted at first-time voters, to wrestling its "Smackdown Your Vote!" and music's "Rock the Vote."
istered more than 500,000 voters; the New Voters Project has signed up 130,000 young people in six battleground states; dozens of other organizations claim smaller successes.
But this year, voter registration campaigns aimed at the estimated 48 million eligible voters under 30 are more visible than ever.
Those groups are bankrolled with tens of millions of dollars in donations and with weeks to go before most states' registration deadlines, they've already amassed impressive results.
Rock the Vote said it had already regan leani
It's impossible to forecast how substantial the rise in under-30 voters will be on Nov. 2. Imwalle projects at least a 5 percentage point jump. Choose or Lose, among the biggest youth voting operations, is vowing to motivate 20 million under-30 voters to cast a ballot, an increase of about 11 percent.
Increase or decrease interest in a poll. Polls show elevated interested, too.
POLIS show elevated A University of California-Los Angeles study said youth interest in politics was on the rise for the first time in 20 years. An MTV poll conducted last month showed 62 percent of 18-24 year olds indicated they would vote this November, up from 41 percent from 2000 and up from the previous high of 57 percent in 1992. And The George Washington University's Battleground 2004 poll shows 55 percent of 18-to 55-year-olds believe candidates are paying or a lot of attention to them.

Bush ahead in new polls
Swing states Ohio and Missouri are leaning towards Bush
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Recent polls show that President George W. Bush has taken a lead over John Kerry in the presidential race.
Two USA Today/CNN/Gallup polls released on Wednesday show Bush leading Kerry by as many as 11 points in Missouri and Ohio according to cnn.com.
With Missouri's and Ohio's swing-state status, these states are key in this election, said Mark Joslyn, associate professor of political science.
Potential voters are now trying to determine the level of accuracy these polls will have for the election in November.
Shawnta Walcott, a spokeswoman for Zogby International, an independent polling firm with offices in Utica, N.Y. and Washington, D.C., said that the race was still close.
She said their company took issue with two recent polls in Time and Newsweek that showed Bush ahead by 11 percentage points.
"You really have to read between the lines of a poll," she said. "Always look at the methodology and timing."
"In both cases, the issue is the methodology," she said. "Some of the calls were made while the president was speaking."
She also said those polls surveyed more Republicans than Democrats.
She estimated Bush's actual national lead was at two percentage points, according to Zogby polls released Wednesday.
Katey Birge, Denver junior and communications director for the KU Young Democrats, said she thought the polls were accurate.

She was not discouraged by the polls' results. She said that Democrats needed to counteract the recent bump in the polls by mobilizing young people to vote.
Birge said that most young people were likely to vote for Kerry, and that many of those do not typically vote in elections.

Justin McFarland, Lenexa senior and chairman of the KU College Republicans, said he wasn't putting too much faith into the recent polls.
He said that Bush's recent success in the polls likely resulted from his speech at the Republican National Convention last week.
"Obviously, we like that we're ahead in the polls right now," he said. "But we won't really know anything until Nov. 2."
"I think when people get to hear George Bush and get to know his message, they really like him and with John Kerry it's the opposite," he said.
He said because of this, Bush would likely benefit from the upcoming presidential debates while Kerry would not.
Joslyn said that many of the polls were still within the margins of error.
Joslyn said an accurate poll would include a random sample of people, along with likely voters and registered voters.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KNOWLEDGE
This year choose hope over fear
This presidential election has taken over my life. It follows me wherever I go. I think about it. I talk about it. I study it. I have trouble falling asleep because I cannot get it out of my mind. I am not sure people understand the importance of the choice America will make on November 2. This is a defining moment in the history of our nation, and the choice we make will determine our course for the years ahead.
POLITICS
our course for the years ahead. Barack Obama, a senatorial candidate from Illinois and Democratic National Committee keynote speaker, framed the options perfectly: "Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?" It was hard to find the best way to illustrate these choices. It became clear that the convention's keynote speakers represented the choice we had in front of us.
and he is John Kerry. On November 2, reject the "politics of cynicism" of Bush, and vote for the "politics of hope" of John Kerry.
I examined the two speeches closely, reading and watching them again and again. The speakers contrasted in many ways and outlined two drastically different futures for America: Democrat and Republican; hope and fear; optimism and pessimism; unity and division; America's greatness and America's arrogance.
arrogance.
The Republican keynote speaker, Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.), gave a speech that embodied President Bush's campaign message and strategy. His only goal, like most at the Republican convention, was to tear down John Kerry and avoid talking about the past four

years. The Republicans only want you to remember Sept. 11, 2001. They want you to think that every day is a possible 9/11 to scare you into voting Bush back into office when his record has not earned a return to Washington.
This has been Bush's campaign strategy. The Republicans have continually told us why Kerry should not be elected and not why President Bush should return to office. Republicans do not want Americans to vote on President Bush's first four years because it was an utter failure.
utter failure.
Bush would rather focus on a war that took place 30 years ago in Vietnam instead of a the war in Iraq, where more than 1,000 Americans have been killed. President Bush will use fear and manipulation to get your vote just as he did to get the support he needed to fight a vendetta with Saddam Hussein.
Americans have in common instead of what divides them. He did not attack Bush nor the Republicans. He said, "We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."
Democrats understand our nation's most powerful weapon is not our economic or military might, but the hope our founders created. Nations have never respected us because of the billions we spend on defense, but because Thomas Jefferson wrote 228 years ago that, "We hold these truths to be self evident: That all men are created equal."
What unites us is the hope we have for a better tomorrow. Obama said we must have the "audacity of hope" to survive. We live in a time when hope is considered a bold act, not that the norm and fear of losing that hope is a reality. America is great because it has been a beacon of light for millions and I say that we must return to a time when hope is the standard bearer of foreign policy and not fear. There is only one man that can change our path and he is John Kerry.
Obama gave a passionate discourse on what made every American proud, and defined why we must elect John Kerry. He concentrated on what

Raytheon ad does not portray all aspects of the company
I must say that I was honestly taken aback when I saw an advertisement in the Sept. 9 Kansan for Raytheon. The ad, which encompassed almost an entire half of the main section's back

Raytheon. The ad features a cross-section of a human brain with flashy, high-tech devices superimposed; the bottom of the ad has the following quotes: "The power of applied intelligence." "Raytheon: Consumer Success is Our Mission" "Opportunities are available in the following areas: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Math, Physics..." "No one knows what the future will bring. Except those creating it."

But what the ad fails to mention, is that according to their Web site www.raytheon.com, Raytheon is an $18.1 billion company who is "industry leader in defense and government electronics, space, information technology, technical services, and business aviation and special mission aircraft." They are the developers of an expansive list of weapons, including: Advanced cruise missile, Tomahawk cruise missile, Stinger missile,
The advertisement makes it seem like all of the highly intelligent people they want to recruit will be designing satellites and making automobiles better and safer. Making the world better; creating technology of the future - sounds like a cool job.

These weapons are used to kill people. I don't care if you say that they kill "bad people"; a human being is a human being. Who am I, who are you and who are we to attempt to justify the loss of a life? Raytheon designs products intended to kill people, and the Kansan sold them space to advertise. I don't like that.

How many of this university's bright minds will go to that Raytheon booth, and sign up to work for a company that makes money when they figure out a new way to kill people? It doesn't seem right, and I thought this newspaper would have known that.

Also, the election was closer to the beginning of the school year and the elections received more publicity. Jones, who coordinated the election, said he considered the election a success, especially compared to last year's.
The freshmen will be full members of Senate and will have voting rights after the Student Executive Committee approves the results. Love said freshmen would have a different view of the needs of the University than older students.

CHANCELLOR: Details plan
Hemenway also addressed the issue of tuition increases within the University's five-year plan. The University would once again have the highest enrollment in University history despite increasing tuition, he said. Official enrollment numbers will be released in two weeks.
He said the University was lacking in its visual identity. The University has a barrage of identities including the official seal and the Jayhawk mascot. He said one of the goals of the new plan would be to combine both images as well as other University images into a central identity for the University. He said the plan would include significant changes to the University's Web site to improve ease of use, content and overall appearance.
The tuition hikes have provided many benefits to faculty and students, Hemenway said.
Jeff Olafsen, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, said Hemenway did a good job explaining the positive effects of the tuition hike.

"I hope his energy extends to the whole staff and the University," said Marilyn Stokstad, professor emeritus of art history.
One hundred new faculty members will be hired by the end of the five-year plan. Online registration and enrollment has arrived. Many faculty members' salaries have been raised.

The club plans to meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 11 p.m. on the Allen Fieldhouse lawn, but locations could vary. The KU Juggling Club is open to all students, and there is no experience required.
Gramarye set up a booth during Hawk Week and put out a sign-up sheet for anyone interested. He received 78 signatures that week and now has 90 people interested in the club. Currently, the club has 11 members.
"Coordination is not a prerequisite for juggling," said Gramarye.
9/11: Tragedy affected students

But the situation was different in Kansas. Alharbi said.
The then freshman found himself, with a limited English vocabulary, acting as a liaison between his Muslim faith and Middle Eastern culture and curious classmates.
"A lot of people started asking me questions and wanted to know about Islam and what happened on Sept. 11," he said. "Everyone, newspapers and TV, kept saying Sept. 11 was caused by Muslims and there were terrorists and all those kinds of things. It was totally annoying to me."
But when Alharbi spoke up, he said his classmates were open to his ideas and perspectives. Effects on International Enrollment
International student enrollment did not see the effects of Sept. 11 until Spring 2002, Joe Potts, director of international
student scholar services, said Enrollment numbers had been up in years past because of recruitment efforts funded by the provost. But numbers dropped 96 students from 1744 students in Spring 2002 to 1648 students in Fall 2002.
Numbers have been stagnant since then, Potts said, and he would consider a sustained enrollment a good thing.
"We felt fortunate that it wasn't worse," he said.
Potts said other countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand are using low enrollment numbers in the United States as a window of opportunity.
"They realize the importance of international students," Potts said. "International students are natural benefits and a matter of national security. They make good future relationships between countries."
Potts couldn't attribute the
"The perception overseas is that the U.S. doesn't
the U.S. doesn't welcome international students."
Joe Potts director of international student scholar services
decline to a single factor, but said ill-American sentiment, fears of additional terrorists attacks and the additional hassle of obtaining a student visa played a role in the nation-wide international student enrollment trend.
He said it was harder for students to get visas and the $200 application fee alone deters students from applying.
Sometimes students don't hear about visas for weeks and Potts said the denial rate had increased as well.
"The perception overseas is
that the U.S. doesn't welcome international students," Potts said.
The problem won't be fixed soon, either, he said.
Short-term, universities should act individually to counter the problem. Potts said. Aggressive recruitment was one idea he suggested. Current students are also a concern of the international student scholar services. The student service is available for students to seek support if they feel they need to return home, or to discuss concerns and serves as a place to go if they've been discriminated against.
Potts said he realized how students from certain parts of the world have been affected by the attacks. Some have had travel restricted, some have had student visa renewals rejected and others have been interviewed by law enforcement.
"Most students condemn the attacks but they're still frustrated how the country has handled
certain things," he said. "In a lot of ways they made problems worse than better." Kept from home
While the third anniversary of the attacks may act as further healing for Americans, the pressures and annoyances for Alharbi continue.
Trips back to Jeddah City became less likely with the possibility of conflicts with his student visa.
He said he heard of people being denied return to the U.S.; many of whom were not given a reason for the action.
Alharbi has been home to see his six brothers, four sisters and parents only once in the past year and he won't go home until after he graduates in May.
Any trip is further complicated with long waits in customs. The longest he has had to wait was two hours, which is short compared to the 10 hour delays he has heard of.
Phone conversations back home are limited too.
"Me and my family, seriously we avoid talking on the phone about what is going on. After Sept. 11," he said. "I know a lot of people, the FBI came to their houses and started asking them questions — even my roommate. I always try to avoid that. In general, we never talk about politics".
Explaining America
Tomorrow is the third commemoration of Sept. 11. Alharbi said he will remember the attacks, but would not be doing anything out of the ordinary.
He is eager to go home without worrying about whether he would be able to come back and he wants to be able to discuss politics openly with his family. He will continue his role of listening and explaining as he answers more questions.
And when he's home, he'll have different explaining to do: Instead of Islam, he'll be explaining the Americans.

Kansas predicted to win against Toledo
Well, some of you have to think I'm a total idiot by now.
You're saying, he claims he's going to pick Ohio State every week, and it's not on there. You're wondering, how could he be so dumb as to think Emporia State is a Division-III school. You're asking, where is the fifth Big 12 school we were promised?
I have to be honest, IT'S NOT MY FAULT. (Does anyone remember me saying that last week?) To be clear, there was a bit of a communication breakdown, and somehow my picks did not get communicated in time to make the paper.
So, I guess I'm stuck without my Florida State-Miami game. In its place, I find Memphis vs. Tennessee-Chattanooga. Tennessee-Chattanooga — the Mocs? Didn't we abuse them in basketball last season?
Well, as a dutiful Kansan writer, I must go on and pick the games I was assigned. Therefore, I give you Week Two of Kick the Kansan.
Kansas vs. Toledo
Well, Kansas had a good week one, and Toledo had a terrible one. Kansas rode the defensive bus to victory, and Toledo's defense must have broken down half way to Minnesota.
Toledo gave up more than 700 yards of total offense to the Golden Gophers of Minnesota and allowed 63 points.
Kansas' defense, which gave up an average of more than 400 yards of total offense last season, allowed just 141 yards and 3 points. If quarterback Adam Barmann has a big week, Kansas has this in the bag.
Pick: Kansas
New Mexico vs. Texas Tech
Only 10 of New Mexico's 22 projected starters are returning starters from last year. Texas Tech struggled mightily with Southern Methodist for a large
portion of its game. New Mexico is coming off a crushing loss to Washington State in the final seconds of its last game. This one is going to be close, but the nod goes to the home team.
Pick: New Mexico
Maryland vs. Temple
During the past 11 seasons Temple has won fewer than a dozen games. Even Baylor has won more than that.
Pick: Maryland
KICK THE KANSAN
Baylor vs. Texas State
RICK THE KANSAS
Baylor has the dubious honor of landing at the top of ESPN.com's Bottom 10, a ranking of the worst D-I football programs.
After a 56-14 beating from the Alabama-Birmingham, Baylor will be looking forward to a home game against Texas State.
If Baylor doesn't win, it's looking at an 0-11 season. Baylor has been the doormat of Big 12 football for a while, but even they can win a game against Texas State.
Boston College vs. Penn State
Joe Paterno's Penn State Nittany Lions finished last year with a 3-9 record, the worst in school history.
Wholesale changes brought in fresh faces and a new style from Paterno. Boston College is coming off an 8-5 season, which included a bowl victory.
Pick: Baylor
While it does bolt for the Atlantic Coast Conference next season, this year it's going to compete for Big East honors.
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
The Eagles of Boston College are going to give the Nittany Lions more than they can deal with.
Pick: Boston College
Northwestern vs. Arizona State
Last week, Northwestern proved two things: 1) Its kicker is terrible. 2) It can come back
from way behind. Arizona State, meanwhile, proved that it can kick around lowly opponents. Last season, Arizona State wilted under high expectations.
This season, with no expectations, Arizona State's Sun Devils will perform much better.
Northwestern will be a solid opponent, but it's not good enough to repeat last year's bowl-worthy season.
I like to go for the gold, so I'm going to go against the grain and pick the Devils.
Memphis vs. Tennessee-
Chattanooga
Pick: Arizona State
Last week, I said Memphis was going to take Conference-USA and that it was going to beat Ole Miss.
The Tigers did beat Ole Miss, and they're still on the way to the Conference-USA title.
This week, some Southern Conference school named UT- Chattanooga is going to lose to Memphis.
but they'll dominate the Irish. Pick: Michigan
Pick: Memphis
Notre Dame vs. Michigan
Last season, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame experienced a vicious fall from grace, which included a losing record and lopsided losses. They may be back on track this year, with a new offensive coordinator and a more experienced defensive secondary.
While their record will improve this season, the Wolverines of Michigan are no easy foe for a rebuilding year. The Wolverines have a new quarterback and a new defensive line,
Kansas State vs. Fresno State
I sat at my computer for half an hour just staring at this game. I wanted to pick Fresno State. I needed to pick Fresno, but I kept coming back to that Kansas State team that plays just more than an hour west of here.
I talked to my friends and my roommates, and ultimately I decided to go with my gut. Fresno State came to play against Washington State, and K-State just didn't dominate Western Kentucky like I expected it would. Big, huge, enormous, gigantic upset of the week.
Texas Christian vs. Southern Methodist
Pick: Fresno State
Texas Christian's Horned Frogs are one of the top midmajor programs in the country. Southern Methodist held its own against Texas Tech, but its Mustangs are still coming off of an 0-12 campaign last year.
The Horned Frogs threatened to throw the Bowl Championship Series into chaos last season and fought hard for a BCS bid.
A end-of-the-season loss at Southern Miss derailed that opportunity, but Texas Christian has gotten back on track. It's going to beat Southern Methodist just like it did last season.
Pick: Texas Christian
Wisconsin vs. Nevada-Las Vegas
Wisconsin has to be one of the toughest places to play football in the country. The Badgers are coming off a season of disappointments, including a couple of losses that easily could have been victories. They should be solid at running back, but their quarterbacks are as inexperienced as any in the country. Nevada-Las Vegas beat
Wisconsin last year, but victories were hard to come by the rest of the season. Nevada-Las Vegas lost six games last season, including one to Kansas. It should be much improved this season, but Wisconsin has improved enough to contend for a top-three finish in the Big Ten.
Pick: Wisconsin
Alabama vs. Ole Miss
This is an old fashioned SEC showdown.
Ole Miss is still hurting and will hurt all season from the loss of this year's first NFL draft pick. Eli Manning.
Meanwhile, two different sets of NCAA sanctions have decimated Alabama's scholarship total, but this year's recruiting class is still being touted by some recruiting services as the best in many years.
It'd better be, because these freshmen are going to be on the ball right away.
Both of these teams have been good in the past, but this year they reside firmly in the bottom half of the Southeastern Conference.
This is going to be a battle for third place in the SEC's west division.
Washburn vs. Emporia State
Pick: Alabama
OK, so this was supposed to be a Division III showdown, but someone didn't hear that Emporia State and Washburn are Division II. Washburn is named the Ichabods, and Emporia State was ranked 11th in Division II going into the season.
Therefore, I pick the Hornets of Emporia State to beat the Ichabods, because who calls their team the Ichabods anyway? Emporia State won this game last season 35-28 in OT. Look for another W.
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo. sophomore in journalism and political science.
Pick: Emporia State
Rams player released, resigned
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A day after the St. Louis Rams' signing of Jason Sechorn fell through, the team resigned a safety they released only four days earlier.
The Rams signed Justin Lucas and placed yet another safety, Zack Bronson, on injured reserve with torn ligaments in his left ankle. They also signed fullback Stephen Trejo and released tight end Mike Brake, continuing a flurry of moves in the final days before the season opener.
Since reaching the 53-man roster limit on Sunday, the Rams have made moves involving 10 players on the active roster.
Lucas was released in the final round of roster cuts Sunday. He was at his home in Arizona when the Rams called and resigned him in time to play against the Arizona Cardinals, his former team, on Sunday.
"I was talking to a couple of other teams and just waited, and the Rams called back," Lucas said. "I was going to jump on the first offer and I'm happy to be a Ram again."
Lucas was surprised the Rams released him on Sunday, considering he played extensively in the preseason. He was not surprised when the Cardinals released him in June after five seasons, because he was bumped well down on the depth chart after signing a contract in March.
"I pretty much knew it was going to happen in Arizona," Lucas said. "Dennis Green, he's trying to basically clean house."

Cross country looks to avenge second-place finish
6
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWATER
The Kansas cross country teams will get a sneak preview of the Big 12 Championships course tomorrow when they race in the Wildcat Invitational in Topeka.
The men and women will run the same eight and six-kilometer courses they will see at the Championships on Oct. 30. Most seasons the men run only 6.4 kilometers and the women run only four kilometers at the meet.
"In past years, this meet has been a tune-up," Megan Manthe, senior, said. "This year it's more important because the conference meet is on the same course."
Senior Chris Jones, who won the Bob Timmons Invitational last Saturday, said he expected the newcomers to profit the most from racing the course because they have not seen it before. He said the upperclassmen would benefit too because they had
only run the shorter course.
"I'm sure we'll be taking mental notes," he said. "It'll be a good thing to guide the season on."
Jones said the men's team would show up expecting to win the meet, which they have the past two seasons.
"We'll be upset at ourselves if we don't win," he said, "but at the same time we don't want to put too much focus on that."
Instead, Jones said the men would work on team strategy as they tried to improve upon their victory at the Bob Timmons Invitational.
"We'll be working on our pack," he said. "Last week we had four guys within 25 seconds of each other. We think we can run seven, eight or nine guys in that time."
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was more concerned with improvement than where the teams place.
"You always want to do the best you can," he said. "If you win, that is good. But the point is
"You always want to do the best you
can. If you win, that's good. But the point is that we need to see exactly where the athletes are in their training."

that we need to see exactly where the athletes are in their training."
However, Redwine said that the women looked to avenge their second place finish to rival Kansas State at the Bob Timmons Invitational.
Manthe said that while she was not overly concerned about where the team places, she wanted to beat Kansas State.
"We were definitely capable of beating them last weekend," she said. "This week one of our No. 1 goal is to beat K-State."
He said the teams' top goal is to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and the NCAA does not consider where teams place in meets this early in the season when determining atlarge bids.
"Our training program is geared toward doing the best at the end of the season," he said. "They're still developing their base right now."
Sophomore Benson Chesang, Kansas' only NCAA qualifier last season, said he would "probably" enter the race after not competing at the Bob Timmons Invitational. Senior Dan Ferguson, who sat out last week after he suffered a mild injury in practice, is set to return.
For the Kansas women, all the top runners are expected to compete.
The women will race at 8:15 a.m. followed by the men at 9 a.m. The meet will be held at the Stateland Cross Country Fairgrounds in Topeka.

GOLF: Players learn from summer tournaments

Randall prepared the team by encouraging the players to get in as many tournaments as possible this summer.
There were also the seven rounds of qualifying play that he oversaw. The team hopes its preparation and work ethic during the summer will come now.
off this weekend at the Ridges Tournament.
"It's a really beautiful golf course," Randall said. "The fairways are ample as far as width goes, and we've emphasized in practice to keep the ball in play. We have long drivers, so we don't have to hit driver every time."
According to golfweek.com, Kansas begins the season ranked 24th in the nation.
Players to watch:
players to watch
Senior Kevin Ward, Leawood
Ward simply dominated tournaments this summer.
He won the Missouri and Kansas state amateur championships 6 and 5, and 9 and 7 respectively, which means he was up six holes with five to go and nine with seven to go.
He also won the Kansas Golf Association Fourball Championship, and just recently he won the High Plains Amateur Tournament in Garden City on Aug. 29.
Last spring, Ward took individual honors at the Louisiana Classics Invitational.
He also posted a 29 on the back-nine at Oak Hills Country Club at the Roadrunner Intercollegiate in San Antonio, an tournament the Jayhawks won. According to thegolfchannel.com, Ward is ranked 100th in the NCAA Division I Player Rankings with a 75.05 scoring average.
"I've learned a lot from this summer," Ward said. "I've got a lot of confidence and experience, just about as much as any one else in the country."
Senior Andrew Price, Lake Forest, III.: Price went home to Chicago during the summer, but he didn't stop working.
he competed in the Western Amateur, the Southwestern Amateur and the North-South Amateur tournaments.
According to thegolfchannel.com, Price is ranked 69 in the NCAA Division 1 Player Rankings with a 72.77 scoring average.
"I think my putting is the strength of my game right now," Price said. "I have high expectations for my team and myself. I definitely think we have the best team since I've been here."
Breakthrough player:
Sophomore Tyler Docking.
Olathe: Randall played it safe with Docking by giving him a redshirt two years ago.
Last spring, Docking was a starter for the entire year as a freshman.
He fired a final round 69 from the Roadrunner Intercollegiate to help Kansas win the tournament.
His outing this summer at the U.S. Amateur Championship at Winged Foot Country Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., was even more eye-opening.
Docking made the Sweet Sixteen of the tournament, which featured 312 amateur golfers.
It took four-time Winged Foot club champion Andy Svoboda of Stamford, Conn., to eliminate Docking on Aug. 22.
"It's all about a confidence of your game," Docking said. "When I'm playing well, I feel like I'm hitting at every pin and I have the confidence to do that.

She said playing in Horejsi would help.
"The hometown always makes us more comfortable," she said.
Beachard wasn't sure the friendly confines would be an immediate help.
"I think initially, the kids will be a little nervous," he said. "Once they work out some of the anxiety of playing in front of family and friends."
Bechard and his team hope to still be undefeated Saturday night, but Bechard said these games were not an indicator of the team's eventual success.

The 2004 Jayhawks so far have played a different game than their 2003 counterparts, who made Kansas' first-ever NCAA tournament appearance.
"I thought they'd be a little more physical, and they have been," Bechard said of his players.
That change could help them this weekend in the lavhawk Invitational.
That attitude matches those of this weekend's opponents, Bechard said.

Strength coach important for success
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlanning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Andrea Hudy deals with many challenges in her new role as associate director of strength and conditioning for Kansas athletics, but probably the biggest one is simply lack of time.
"There aren't enough hours in the day," said Hudy, who was recently hired away from the University of Connecticut. Hudy has only been at the University of Kansas since Aug. 7, but already she feels like her 15-hour day doesn't give her enough time to work with the athletes.
She said strength coaches wanted to make sure that all athletes were getting trained properly and that every aspect of their regimes was executed perfectly.
"You get obsessive about it." Hudy said. "You want to make sure you have a great strength and conditioning program for every athlete."
Hudy will work mainly with the men's and women's basketball teams as well as the volleyball team. She said that she was trying to get to know the athletes on an individual basis and get a feel for where they were in their training.
Coach Bill Self said that often times strength coaches went unnoticed, but they were some of the most important people involved in an athlete's success.
"A strength coach is probably worth as much to a team as an assistant coach," Self said.
He said that Hudy had been so busy working with women's basketball and volleyball teams that he hadn't had much time to sit down with her, but so far she had left an impression.
had let it up, she said. "I have been very impressed with her since she arrived," Self said.
Hudy will travel with the men's basketball team during the season.
Hudy calls her training technique unplanned, nonlinear periodization. Another way of putting it, she said, is it's the opposite of what athletes do on
the court. She tailors the workouts around the athletes. For example, she said, freshmen require more work than veterans, so she will spend the most time with them. Additionally, part of her job includes prehabilitation, which means helping athletes prevent injuries.
Hudy said her role in an athlete's life changed throughout the season.
"During the season, I am part of the support staff," she said. "But during the offseason, I am their primary contact."
In the offseason, when NCAA rules prohibit coaches from working with athletes, Hudy said she spoke with the athletes almost daily to make sure they were in good health. This is one of the reasons Self thinks Hudy is such an important part of the program.
"If you divide a program into recreation, scouting, training, I would say strength is just as important as an assistant coach." Self said.
underestimated what it takes to be a college athlete.
She said that most people
"What people see on TV is about one-percent of what these athletes do," she said. "They have no idea that these athletes get up at 5:15 in the morning."
Hady said an athlete's day could be nonstop. Oftentimes, athletes train from 6 a.m. to 7:15 a.m., go to breakfast, classes, lunch, back to classes and then to practice from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
"And then after all of that, they have to eat and then go to the study table." Hudy said.
Hudy said her relationship with athletics director Lew Perkins was a huge factor in her decision to come to the University. Perkins signed Hudy's letter of intent to play volleyball at the University of Maryland when he was the athletics director there.
Hudy said she knew nothing outside of athletics because she grew up in a family where everyone played sports. After graduating from Maryland, she pursued
a career in strength training at UConn, where Perkins was again the athletics director. After spending 10 years at UConn where she worked mostly with the men's and women's basketball teams and the softball team, Hudy said she decided it was time for a change.
"It's nice to have a change," she said. "This is a great chance to bring a lot of what Lew instilled at Uconn to KU."
Hudy grew up a fan of Kansas basketball. She said that as a sophomore in high school, she watched Danny Manning and the Miracles win the 1988 National Championship. One of the best things about being at Kansas is the tradition, she said; "It's pretty cool to be here."
When asked why she left a university that won two national championships within the programs that she worked with closely, she just laughed and said, "KU has a pretty nice tradition."

Trojans shame Tigers; fans storm field
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TROY, Ala. — Jason Samples threw one touchdown pass and caught another and offensive lineman Junior Louissaint scored on a 63-yard fumble recovery as Troy upset No. 19 Missouri 24-14 last night.
The Trojans (2-0), a fourth-year Division I-A program, overcame a horrible start to beat the first BCS conference team to visit Troy. The fans stormed the field and pulled down a goal post as Missouri players slumped to the locker room.
The Tigers (1-1) scored touchdowns on their first two possessions but not much else went right. Brad Smith passed for 224 yards and ran 15 times for 36 balls but was intercepted twice in
the second half and was harried throughout the game.
Troy's Aaron Leak rolled left and hit a leaping Samples in the end zone four minutes into the fourth quarter. Leak lay on the turf for a minute after taking a hard hit on the play, then got up and waved his arms to the crowd, the largest in school history.
the magician.
Smith, whose Heisman Trophy candidacy was dealt a huge blow, then drove the Tigers to Troy's 30. He completed a 22-yarder and a 25-yarder but was sacked by Franklin Lloyd on third-and-5. His next pass was broken up by Brannon Condren and Troy milked the clock below six minutes before扑eting.
Thomas Olmsted buried the Tigers inside the 5 for the second straight time, and Arthur Adams
effectively ended its hopes with an interception.
Missouri committed three turnovers and had a punkt blocked by Bernard Davis, looking like a different team that built the 14-0 lead.
The Trojans used trickery and pure luck to take a stunning 17-14 halftime lead after failing to get a first down for the first 20 minutes. Coming off an upset road win against Marshall, the team had been 0-6 against teams from the Big 12 Conference.
Big 12 Conference Down two touchdowns, Leak lateralled to Samples, who floated a pass to wide-open tailback Jermaine Richardson in the end zone for a 26-yard score midway through the second quarter.
Missouri buried the Trojans on the 7-vard line on a punt. Two
runs by DeWitt Betterson got out of the hole and the ball was knocked out of his grasp on his third run, right into the hands of Louisaint.
The 277-pound guard caught it in mid-air and rambled the final 63 yards, dragging 190-pound cornerback A.J. Kincade into the end zone.
Greg Whibbs hit a 43-yard field goal with 1:01 left for the halftime lead.
lead:
The Trojans had eight yards in the first 20 minutes and 189 over the next 10.
Smith, meanwhile, started out 13-of-14, but completed only one of his final six passes of the half. He finished 25-of-46.
Leak was only 7-of-20 for 94 yards and was intercepted three times.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
DETROIT - The Kansas City Royals set a team record for runs in a doubleheader Thursday.
Unfortunately for them, they did it all in the first game.
The Royals set numerous records in a 26-5 first-game rout of the Detroit Tigers, but had no offense left in an 8-0 loss in Game 2.
Joe Randa led the Royals in the first game, going 6-for-7 and tying a major league record by scoring six times.
The Royals had 26 hits against five pitchers. Angel Berroa had a three-run homer and career-high five RBI, and Alberto Castillo knocked in a career-best four runs.

Toledo defense questioned after embarassing loss

BY JONATHAN KEALING AND RYAN COLAINNANI sports@kansan.com KANGAN SPORTS WRITERS
O
Going into this season, Toledo and Top 25 were frequently spoken in the same breath. After the Rockets' 63-21 dismemberment at the hands of 22nd-ranked Minnesota last week, much of that talk is gone. However, that doesn't mean that the Jayhawks can take the Rockets lightly.
stop big-time quarterbacks and offenses against Tulsa. If it could post a repeat performance and the offense can find its rhythm, Kansas will manage the victory.
Edge: Kansas
Quarterback
For a second straight week, Kansas will face a quarterback who is a candidate for postseason honors.
Toledo junior Bruce Gradkowski is in his second year at the helm of the Rocket offense. Last year, he threw for 3,210 yards and 29 touch-
19-30 with a Touchdown before being pulled late in the game. He rushed for four yards.
Greg Heaggans
Kansas' offensive line shows its inexperience last week in the form of unnecessary penalties. But senior center Joe Vaughn played well, and he is the leader for the Jayhawks here.
Kansas' offensive line is thin with senior lineman Tony Coker out for the next few weeks with an injury. Toledo has a solid offensive line that has been able to protect Gradkowski. It allowed no sacks last week against Minnesota. Senior tackle Nick Kaczur leads the line. He was nominated for the Outland Trophy, which recognizes the nation's best interior lineman. If the Kansas defensive line is as good as last week, Toledo's line may struggle. However, because of the inexperience on Kansas' side, the edge here goes to Toledo.
Edge: Toledo
Tight Ends
Toledo uses the more
Kansas sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann is in his first year as a starter. Last week, he was 14-31 for 99 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 21 yards and a touchdown.
Barmann has a lot of potential, but Gradkowski has proven he can perform.

Rockets are led by senior Andrew Clarke, who had 35 receptions last season and was a first team all-MAC selection. Clarke has been nominated for the Mackey Award and the Lombardi Award. He did not have any catches against Minnesota, but look for him to rebound this week. Kansas' tight ends did not have any catches last week against Tulsa as they were primarily used as blockers.
Look for Clarke to be a safety valve for Gradkowski tomorrow.
Edge: Toledo
Running Backs
The Kansas duo of sophomore John Randle and junior Clark Green underperformed in last week's game against Tulsa. Fortunately for them, they're going up against a team that allowed 415 yards rushing last week.
After practice on Wednesday, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he was considering starting Randle. But he would continue to play the two backs in tandem. Last week, Randle had greater success than Green, but both have the potential to break out. Two is better than one.
Toledo brings back junior Trinity Dawson who rushed for 999 yards last season. He also reached the endzone 10 times while averaging five yards per carry.
Edge: Kansas
Wide Receivers
Toledo has a truly dominant receiver in Lance Moore. Last season, Moore caught more than 100 balls for nearly 1,200 yards. Last weekend, he was a lonely bright spot against Minnesota, as he caught ten passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.
Kansas' wide receivers struggled against Tulsa, and there were frequent dropped passes. Gordon saw time in the third quarter and immediately made an impact when he caught a seven-yard touchdown pass. Kansas had just 99 combined yards receiving for the game, but look for an improved offense this week as the Jayhawks face a Toledo defense that gave up more than 700 yards in total offense last week. Senior Brandon Rideau and junior Mark Simmons should have a better day catching the ball this week, as well. But with Moore on Toledo's side, it is tough to pick against them.
Toledo, graduated all four of last season's defensive line starters. That showed last week,when secondary to struggle against it gave up rushing yards at a the Kansas wide receivers. ridiculous pace. Edge: Kansas
Edge: Toledo
Defensive Line
Kansas' defensive line proved it could pressure the quarterback, stop the run, go to the ball and make tackles. While the line was a liability last season, it was an anchor for the team last week.
Kansas' defensive line allowed a total of just 56 yards rushing. Unless Toledo's line makes a miraculous recovery from last week's bruising, this is a no brainer.
20
Theo Baines
Edge: Kansas
Linebackers
Last week, Kansas junior Kevin Kane had the game of his college career. Five tackles, a sack and
an interception made him the highlight of an outstanding effort by Kansas' four starting linebackers.
While only three of the four juniors are on the field at any given time, Kane, Banks Floodman, Nick Reid and Gabe Toomey have proven that they can run to the ball and make big plays. Toledo graduated both of last season's top two linebackers and is looking to a third, junior Anthony Jordan, to take over.
His supporting cast consists of a senior, a sophomore and a freshman. None has recorded more than 40 tackles in his career. Last week's performance by the Toledo defense was abysmal, and the linebackers share some of that blame.
The Kansas secondary shut down the Tulsa offense last week, allowing fewer than 100 yards passing. Cornerback Theo Baines was a force, recording a sack and an interception. Safety Tony Stubbs led all defensive players with nine tackles. However, don't expect the Kansas secondary to be as successful this week; it's facing a much stronger offense in Toledo.
Edge: Kansas
Four starters from last season, and they are led by senior safety Partick Body, who had 77 tackles and three interceptions last year. Body led the team with eight tackles last week against Minnesota. Toledo gave up nearly 300 yards in passing last week. Look for the Toledo
Secondary
The Kansas special teams had a spectacular day last week as they blocked two punts. Toledo received a lot of kickoffs last week as it was pounded for nine touchdowns.The Rockets struggled on returns, averaging just above 12 yards. The Rockets are led in kick returns by senior wide receiver Torrance
Hudson, who returned three kicks for 44 yards.
Kansas averaged more than 31 yards per return last week, aided by a 55 yard return from junior wide receiver Greg Heagans. Sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon was unable to get much done as the punt returner because the blocking downfield was poor against Tulsa.
Jayhawk fans will see two place kickers in the game. Senior Johnny Beck will handle all field goals outside of 20 yards, while freshman Scott Webb will kick all extra points and field goals inside of 20 yards.
20 yrds.
Toledo kicker Jason Robbins was 3-3 on PATs last week. With their strength returning kicks and the dominance it showed last week in the return game, the Jayhawks should be successful.
Edge: Kansas
Coaches
Toledo head coach Tom Amstutz is in his fourth year as head coach of the Rockets. He is 27-12 in his career as head coach. Amstutz paid his dues before becoming head coach; he served as an assistant for 21 years.
Amstutz likes to spread the field on offense, which gives his quarterback to many options. Mangino has turned around the Jayhawks program and has done a good job in pointing the 'Hawks in the right direction this year with the win against Tula. These are two evenly-matched coaches.

INTRAMURAL GAME OF THE WEEK
Fraternity champions win

www.kansan.com
Will Talbot and Nick Arthachinda play flag football during the Delta Upsilon 2 - Beta A-1 intramural match-up at Shenk Sports Complex Wednesday afternoon.
BY JESSICA FERGEN
jfergen@kansan.com
KANKSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Editor's Note: Thousands of students at the University of Kansas participate in intramural sports each season. Each week during the season, Kansan sportswriter Jessica Fergen will highlight one intramural game, as suggested by Recreation Services.
The first intramural game of the week pitted reigning fraternity champion Beta Theta Pi's A-1 team against the Delta Upsilon team DU-2. Though not an easy game, the experienced Beta proved too tough for DU, winning 20-6.
Beta received the ball first, but Matt Waldron, Ottawa junior, intercepted for DU early in the game. Despite the early opportunity,DU couldn't capitalize on the turnover and had to punt. On its next possession, Beta moved the ball down the field fast, completing a long pass to Will Talbott. Charlottesville, Va., sophomore.
Beta Quarterback Chris Hermreck, Ottawa junior, ran the ball into the end zone to finish the drive and completed another pass for the extra point, giving Beta a 7-0 lead.
DU's control of the ball was short-lived. After a few incomplete passes, DU quarterback Jared Wharton, Marysville junior, ran on its next possession, but got called for flag guarding — swinging the hand or arm over the flag belt to prevent an opponent from deflagging. The team was forced to punt.
Beta knew halftime was near and moved the ball down the field for a touchdown and extra point, which extended Beta's lead to 14-0.
A re-energized DU received the ball first after halftime, but Beta intercepted and attempted to work its way downfield. However, the DU defense stopped them repeatedly a yard short of a first down.
DU's offense, led by Wharton, took over, but he was sacked on the third down. The team got the first down on a
long pass to Mike Schmidt, Omaha,
Neb., sophomore. DU scored a touchdown and failed to get the extra point and trailed 14-6.
DU's bright, shining moment couldn't stop Beta's momentum. The team scored after a quick pass into the end zone for a touchdown, they failed to get the extra point and won 20-6.
"We played well," said Lawrence senior Grant Van Blaricum, Beta player. "We plan on defending last year's title. That's a challenge."

Remember 9/11 while at football stadium
---
VOL.
When Kansas and Toledo take the field tomorrow, they are playing for something bigger than a notch in the victory column.
Living just a few miles from the Pentagon, outside Washington D.C., I remember students running through the hallways, crying out of uncertainty for their loved ones who worked at the Pentagon.
On Sept. 11, athletic contests are a secondary issue. When the events on that infamous day occurred, no one was thinking about any "important" sporting event.
F
I remember talking to my high school football coach after it was decided that our football game would be canceled that weekend. He told me that he had no thoughts about football. Athletes did not want to play, he said; it just would not feel right to them.
It was one of those rare occurrences where people realized how miniscule sports are in the grand scheme of things. People were not Kansas or Missouri fans, they were united as Americans. We saw 300-pound football players crying as the national anthem was played when NFL games were resumed almost two weeks after the terrorist attacks.
One of the most memorable moments was when President George W. Bush went to Yankee Stadium and threw out the first pitch during game three of the World Series.
He was not the conservative president at that moment; no one booed him when he walked out on the field. I still get chills when I see that clip as the president hurls the pitch, wearing a sweatshirt that showed tribute to the firefighters who lost their lives in New York.
Bush walked off the field to booming chants of "U-S-A," chanting at the terrorists who brought down the Twin Towers, saying that we will not go quietly.
He eventually paid the ultimate price for his service, but he is the definition of a true hero. Tillman turned down millions of dollars to become an army ranger where he was making less that $20,000. Why? Because he loved our country, and wanted to do something that would truly make a difference.
Across the country patches of the flag were sewn to athletes from the peewee level to the professional level, further showing the unity that was being felt in America.
Kansas football players are closer to the war on terror now that John McCoy was called up to fight overseas. They understand the significance of his service, and they understand that there is more to life than football, that he is doing bigger and better things to help rid the world of evil.
Athletes were moved, none more than the Arizona Cardinals' Pat Tillman. Tillman decided that playing football was nothing compared to fighting for our country.
Behind the president was the American flag that was recovered from the wreckage.
So when that national anthem is played at Memorial Stadium tomorrow, remember those who died on that tragic day. Remember those currently fighting abroad, who are risking their lives to make ours safer and remember there is more to life than athletics.
It was ripped and nearly destroyed, but as it waved in the wind it showed the world that the United States was stronger than ever.

Flag display pleases fans

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
On the sidewalk between the blue and white tents on the southeast side of Memorial Stadium, 150 people lined up, each bearing some of the weight of a 900-pound flag on their shoulders. That flag would span the length of the football field just moments before Saturday's game against Toledo.
It was 5:20 and the flag ceremony wasn't scheduled until 5:45, but no one complained about the heat or the weight of the flag. Everyone smiled, honored to be able to hold the American flag over the football field on the third anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
"I have been standing here for about an hour and I have a cramp in my shoulder, but it is worth it to carry the American flag onto the field on a day like today," said Joseph Pinaire, Junction City freshman. The group of 150 people consisted of KU students and ROTC members, and students from various high schools in Kansas.
At about 5:45, fans were piling into the stands, band members took the field and the flag holder lined up on the visiting sideline on the east side of the field. Students chanted "Go Jayhawks" as the well-known cheer erupted from the band. The band moved off and the flag holders made their way onto the field. As the fans changed their chant to "U.S.A." there was a 900-pound American flag covering the length of the 100-yard football field. Two F-16's
flew over the stadium from the south. The flag remained on the field for almost three minutes as the band played the national anthem and then the alma mater.
"To see the flag over the field means a lot more to me than anything else that is going on today," said Michael Baker, sophomore and member of the naval ROTC.
Some fans said the meaning behind the flag ceremony brought people
together the same way that sports did.
"As tragic as certain events are, we have to do stuff to help keep our mind off it," said Baker. "By playing sports, it helps us root on our country."
"Sports is a great American tradition and when you can put sports and patriotism together it is a good experience for everybody," said Michael Raupp, Leawood sophomore.
Baker said that honoring the day was important because everyone had a way to remember Sept. 11.
Since the events of Sept.11, 2001, athletic events played on its anniversary have always honored that day. Fans at Saturday's game said it was important to make aribute to the country, but they were thankful the game was being played

"I think it brings it closer to home," she said. "It reminds you what you're grateful for."
That day, different groups held events on campus.
At the Kansas Union, five American Studies graduate students helped put on the September Project, a series of panel discussions aimed at talking about different aspects of the events related to the attacks.
Julia Goodfox, Lawrence graduate student in American Studies, was one of the organizers of the event.
She said the September Project was organized in Seattle by two professors, David Silver and Sarah Washburn at the University of Washington.

Andrew Weir had made the drive home to Shawnee every weekend since he moved in to McCollum Hall nearly a month ago.

But Thursday was the last visit home for the University of Kansas freshman who friends and family described as compassionate and smart-witted with a love for hockey.
Weir was driving from Shawnee to Lawrence after a surprise visit to Shawnee Mission North High School, where his senior girlfriend was announced part of the homecoming court, said Weir's aunt, Lori Bray.
Weir, 19, was involved in a one-car accident somewhere between 11 and 11:30 p.m., Thursday night on Kansas Highway 10. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The vehicle appeared to have rolled several times. Bray said.
Bray said the cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Kristine Weir, Andrew's mother, said Andrew was torn between pediatrics and architecture as a career.
"He loved KU," she said. "He was in college and excited about it."
"He would always say 'Boo-ya,'"
Bray said. "It was his way of saying he was here or when he did something."
Kristen Coehran, Overland Park freshman, went to high school with Weir, a 2004 Shawnee Mission North graduate, and had several classes with
him at high school as well as a class at the University.
"I couldn't imagine him dying," she said. "He was so athletic and so smart. It just doesn't seem real."
Cochran said that she doubted a lot of people in McCollum Hall knew about the accident.
A lot of students were preoccupied with tests and a lot of people went home for the weekend, she said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said McCollum authorities held a meeting with Weir's floormates Friday night to discuss the accident.
Weir lived on the fourth floor with Jordan Miles, his lifetime friend and cousin.
"It's always hard to lose a friend or a family member," Stoner said. "Our hearts go out to his friends and family."
Grief counselors were also available to students. Stoner said.
A visitation is scheduled for today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Amos Family chapel of Shawnee, 10901 Johnson Drive.
Weir's funeral will be tomorrow at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 11311 Johnson Drive in Shawnee. He will be buried at Resurrection Cemetery, on 83rd Street and Quivera Road in Lenexa.

NEWS IN BRIEF Tasers add shock for officers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — Misbehaving students at Oatlie East High School may be stunned to find out what police officer Jeff Jewett is carrying through the school's halls this year.
All of the school-based and patrol officers in Olathe are carrying an X26 Taser, which can subdue a person with a five-second, 50,000-volt shock through wires connected to prongs that can penetrate clothing.

"It's our hope that by our officers carrying these, we reduce the risk of injury to the suspect or the officer," said Olathe Police Department spokesman Sgt. Greg O'Halloran.
So far, no Olathe parents or teachers have complained about the Tasers.
And at least one student approves of

"It makes me feel safer," senior Keith Spreckels said. "I'm not going to do anything where he has to use it on me. But I think it's cool that he has a Taser and can shoot someone 21 feet away."
Some school-based officers are not given Tasers because some departments don't have enough of them. Capt. Ron Copeland of the Shawnee Police Department said he did not think that school officers would be in the group of 20 that received Taser training and weapons.

University chapter opens for Up 'til Dawn fundraiser
Parents whose children who are patients at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital sometimes stay up all night at their childrens' bedsides. That's where the name for the national fundraiser, Up 'til Dawn, came from.
For the first time the University of Kansas will have an active chapter of Up 'til Dawn. This allows students and organizations to fundraise for the hospital that supports children with cancer.
St. Jude's, the fourth-largest health care charity in the United States, is a pediatric treatment and research facility. It treats all patients without regard for the family's ability to pay.
Up 'ti Dawn is a group of teams that help raise funds for the hospital. Teams send fundraising packets to 30-50 people. The packet educates people about St. Jude's and allows people to make donations.
Up 'til Dawn is welcome.
Zack Zimmerman, assistant director for the University's chapter of Up 'til Dawn, said any organization or person interested in starting or joining a team of
Up 'til Dawn Awareness Week is September 20 - 22 on Wescoe Beach. Teams can register online at www.ku.edu/~utildawn/
Chili's Grill and Bar, 2319 Iowa, is accepting donations from customers for St. Jude's during the entire month of September. Thom Glanzman, manager for Chili's, said the restaurant had already collected more than $1,800 from customers. Chili's will donate all of its profits made on September 20 to St. Jude's.

Mushroom cloud in Korea not product of nuclear explosion
SEOUL, South Korea—Ahuge mushroom cloud that reportedly billowed up from North Korea was not caused by a nuclear explosion, South Korean and U.S. officials said Sunday, but they said the cause was a mystery.
Secretary of State Colin Powell confirmed that unusual activity had recently been detected at some of North Korea's
atomic sites, but said there was no concrete evidence the North's secretive communist regime was preparing for its first nuclear test explosion.
The South Korean news agency Yonhap reported Sunday that a mammoth explosion in North Korea produced a mushroom cloud more than 2 miles across Thursday. It said the blast was stronger than an April explosion that killed 160 people and injured an estimated 1,300 at a North Korean railway station when a train carrying oil and chemicals apparently hit power lines.
Kim Jong-min, spokesman for the South Korean presidential office, told Yonhap, "Currently, we are trying to find out in detail the exact character, cause and size of the accident, but we don't think North Korea conducted a nuclear test."
Before Yonhap's report, The New York Times' Sunday edition said senior U.S. intelligence officials had seen signs of activities that some analysts thought might indicate North Korea was preparing a nuclear bomb test. Other experts were more cautious in their assessments, but the developments were considered
worrisome enough for the White House to be alerted, the Times said
Appearing on ABC's This Week, Powell said there were "some activities taking place at some sites that we are watching carefully, but it is not conclusive that they're moving toward a test or they're just doing some maintenance at that site."
some maintenance Later, on Fox News Sunday, Powell expressed skepticism North Korea would stage a nuclear test explosion.
On Saturday, North Korea said recent revelations that South Korea conducted secret nuclear experiments involving uranium and plutonium made the communist state more determined to pursue its own nuclear programs.
The South Korean experiments in 1982 and 2000, which the South said did not reflect an attempt to develop weapons, are likely to further complicate six-nation talks aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear development. Another round of talks involving the United States, Russia, Japan, China and the Iveo two countries is tentatively scheduled this month in Beijing.

A naturalization ceremony was held Friday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, west of Lied Center. One-hundred forty-two people became U.S. citizens, marking the end of a process that included English and civics tests.

Usually people are sworn in as citizens of the United States in a courtroom, but last Friday 142 people became U.S. citizens at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas.
The 142 people included one graduate of the University, one current student and two students at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The newly named citizens represented 49 countries at the second such event hosted by the Dole Institute.
"I've been to one in a courtroom and they're really great, moving and meaningful ceremonies. But somehow here with the high ceilings and the stained-glass flag it really just works," said Jonathan Earle, associate director for programming at the Dole Institute.
The ceremony marked the end of a process of naturalization, which included an English and civics test, that can take up to 180 days after the applicants are granted an interview.
University graduate Jon Carnell said he was happy and excited about becoming a U.S. citizen. Carnell, who is from Coney Weston, a village about 80 miles north of London, said he was looking forward to being able to vote. Carnell moved to the United States about seven years ago and said he is in the process of applying to medical school.
Adewale Muhammed Sanni, a third-year medical student, is from Nigeria. Sanni said he was excited about becoming a U.S. citizen and hoped to go back to Nigeria and practice medicine after he finished school.
"I've been waiting for this," Sanni said.
The ceremony began with the audience rising for John W.
Lungstrum, U.S. District Court Judge, and Carlos Murguia, Kansas City, Kan., U.S. District Judge, Judge Lungstrum, a 1970 University graduate, presided over the ceremony. Lungstrum said he was delighted he could be at the ceremony. The Dole Institute of Politics is a fitting place to have the ceremony because it represents so much of what the country stands for, Lungstrum said.
Judge Murguia, who also spoke at the ceremony, said his sister became a U.S. citizen because she was tired of being separated from the rest of the family at the border. Murguia's family would be in the citizen line and his sister would have to go through the non-citizen line. Murguia said he thought becoming a U.S. citizen provided people with more opportunities and freedoms, especially in education.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said it was a great privilege to be able to have the ceremony at the University. As Hemenway spoke to the inductees, he related an episode of The West Wing to them. Hemenway said a naturalization ceremony had to be moved to the White House and the president, played by Martin Sheen, was to greet the future citizens. Hemenway said that as the president entered the room, his face of full of anguish from the toils of the day, but all of that washed away from his face as soon as he saw these people who had come to the United States to become citizens.
Applicants took an oath consisting of two parts. In the first part, applicants renounced allegiance to all other countries and pledged allegiance to the United States. For the second part of the oath, applicants promised to support and uphold the U.S. Constitution.
newly sworn-in citizens walked out of the Institute — some with their families — to a table with lemonade and cookies and possibly toward a different life in their new country.
The ceremony included Sarah L. Young, a lecturer in the University's English department singing the national anthem and a presentation of colors by the Kansas Wing of the Civil Air Force Patrol. Tami Anthony sang America the Beautiful.
Earle said that the United States provided many images to people abroad and one of those images was that it was a land if you worked hard and played by the rules, then you could get ahead and your children could have almost limitless opportunities. Earle said, however, there was also an image of arrogance or a of a country that places military might ahead of diplomacy.
"But I don't think it's possible to dim what you heard people from Russia, Azerbaijan, India, Vietnam, Nigeria and Laos saying that they still believe in that first image and that's what I think is important." Earle said.
As the ceremony ended, the
Earle said that the people were not leaving their heritage, ethnicity or religion behind, but just changing their nationality.

Yesterday marked the one-year date of the death of Eric Wellhausen, a freshman who fell off his seventh floor sunscreen ledge at Oliver Hall. Since then, the Department of Student Housing has introduced several new safety measures, including stickers on residence hall windows and a new alcohol sanction program at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"We only had two removed last year." Stoner said.
Before Wellhausen's death, Student Housing had discussed the possibility of placing stickers on windows and screens, but decided not to, said Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing. After Wellhausen's death, however, the decision was reversed and two stickers were placed on each residence hall room window and screen. The stickers don't actually prevent students from opening their windows, but the $125 cost for removing the stickers has kept the windows closed.
Students living in the residence halls said the stickers have been effective.
"They definitely instill fear with $125 stickers," said Andy Crosson, a Leavenworth freshman living in McCollum Hall. "I don't want to pay $250 to lean out my window."
Alcohol was also a major issue surrounding Wellhausen's death. Stoner said alcohol was not allowed in the residence halls. He said students caught with alcohol faced disciplinary actions with the possibility of eviction.
The new alcohol program is divided into two parts, an online and a classroom course, said Rae Anderson, Overland Park senior and alcohol education coordinator at Watkins.
Anderson said the program
used a harm-reduction approach that aimed at educating students about alcohol issues as opposed to merely punishing them for their actions.
"It's giving them the tools to live a healthier lifestyle if they choose to," Anderson said.
Kyle Carter, Lawrence freshman, took the online course this semester. He said he and his roommates had some empty beer cans in their room, and when their resident assistant saw the beer cans, they were written up.
Carter said he thought a lot of the information in the course was redundant and common knowledge. He said the course really didn't change his mind about alcohol.
"It seems more like a punishment than something that's going to help me." Carter said.
Anderson said she realized college kids were more than likely going to drink. She said the program was designed to help students decide when to drink and how much to drink. She said one way the classroom course did this was by teaching students how to know their blood-alcohol content level.
Overall, most students said they felt safe and understood the rules.
Brighid O'Malley said staff and security ensured that students obeyed all the rules.
"You can't really get away with that much here," said O'Malley, Omaha. Neb, freshman.
Stoner said Student Housing always had a safety conscience and most of the policies were common sense. He said ensuring safety and preventing tragedies in the residence halls would always be a partnership between the staff and the residents.
"It's never easy to lose a student," Stoner said. "If we have good cooperation from students, we can avoid incidents."

Fans prepare: Kansas is a multiple-sport campus
There's something different about Memorial Stadium this year, and it is not just an energized football team.
energized football team. Football coach Mark Mangino commented on the improved student section in Friday's The University Daily Kansan. While students are more vocal and enthusiastic, the atmosphere is not yet up to par with that of Allen Fieldhouse.
On Sept. 4, the football and men's basketball teams played their first games on the same day. Thousands of fans showed up for the season opening football victory against Tulsa, and the basketball team started a 4-0 weekend tour as fans watched an exclusive feed on the MegaVision screen. But as much as Kansas fans may have been anticipating the games, having both seasons start on the same day presented an interesting situation: Would one outshine the other?
It is no secret that at this University, basketball has in recent history reigned supreme. Despite the storied history of Jayhawk football, the program suffers from a lack of fan respect during the past few years. Though much of this is attributed to being the stepchild of basketball, a large part is due to a general disregard for the traditions and legends of the program.
The fieldhouse is a college basketball monument, but how many students and alumni know that Memorial Stadium is the oldest stadium west of the Mississippi River and that Phog Allen was instrumental in its construction? The names of our basketball greats are memorized and memorialized by many KU students, but do they
know about Ray Evans, the only man to have jerseys retired for both basketball and football?
Our rivalry with Missouri, the second longest in the nation, was made possible through football back in 1898. Most students and fans only know Gale Sayers' name through the movie Brian's Song, a disservice to both Sayers and the program he played for.
Yet basketball overshadows everything else, a condition nobody could argue with. After all the court is named after the man who invented the sport and is buried but a few miles away. Four national title banners hang in a building that honors the creator of modern coaching.
BEELER'S VIEW
But on a campus with such fervent passion for sports, with so many fans both graduated and still in training, surely two sports can survive and engage equal amounts of respect. The basketball players are greeted with aplomb while walking through campus, but can the same be said for the gridiron warriors?
Players for both teams deserve accolades. None of this is to say that basketball should suffer or be diminished, but simply that while the football team rebounds the students and the Athletic Department should both reconsider how Kansas should be seen by the rest of the college sports world.
Other schools around the nation display their passion both in the beginning of the fall and the middle of winter. Kansas should be on that list of schools whose students display a knowledge and respect for the history and the game, regardless of the shape or size of the ball in play.

The Candidates REFINE their MESSAGES
DURING MY 20 YEARS IN THE SENATE, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH CHICANERY, SUCH HORNSWOGGL TO TAKE THIS AND VERITABLE OR FIGURATIVE PLUNGE US HEADLAND FORTH WITH INTO A LABORIOUS, UNILATERAL STRAIGHT-AND-WARROW ACTION SUCH AS TYTLE, OR THE ONE MOVING CITY THAT MOMENTS MEANS. KERRY'S A LIBERAL FLIP-FLOPPER.
Republican ire shadowed issues
After the close of the Republican National Convention, it's time to offer some advice.
some advice.
The Republican Party needs to follow the fair and balanced advice of Bill O'Reilly. Shut up. Stop the negative campaigning. Stop trying to scare Americans into voting republican. Stop exploiting Sept. 11 for political gain. It's time to discuss the issues voters should know about instead.
The convention marked the culmination of months of planning by party leaders. It was also one of the most negative political weeks in recent memory. Every day was marked by messages of hate, fear and attacks on John Kerry and other democrats.
In a surprising turn of events, the Republican National Convention invited Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) to deliver the keynote address. Miller spoke of the democrats' "manic obsession to bring down our commander in chief." He stated that John Kerry's proposals would leave America armed with "only spitballs," and that under his leadership the U.S. would surely lose the war on terror.
GUEST COLUMN
Miller explained his anger about Kerry calling American Troops "occupiers rather than liberators," despite the fact that Bush himself has, on more than one occasion, referred to the occupation of Iraq by American troops.
COLUMN
Moderate republican and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke on Aug. 31. He opened his speech by comparing his movie True Lies to the Democratic convention. Regarding the economy, Schwarzenegger conceded that it had "hit a few bumps," but quickly recanted by calling critics of the economy "girlie men." Schwarzenegger's reliance on movies and inappropriate slang to convey his point was out of place in a national setting.
RYAN GOOD
opinion@kansan.com
For three days in New York, instead of talking about jobs and the economy — the real issues Americans care about — we heard anger and insults from the republicans. They can't talk about their record because it's a record of failure.
national setting.
Vice President Dick Cheney drove home the point that supporting American troops was a number one priority. "The men and women who wear the uniform of the United States represent the very best of America," Cheney stated, directly before criticizing John Kerry's war record.
If the men and women in uniform are so important, why did Cheney spend a large portion of his speech criticizing a former soldier? It doesn't make sense. With comments like this, Cheney showed that he could flip-flop just as he, Bush and other republicans claim Kerry does, saying one thing and contradicting it with another.
The convention closed with Bush attacking Kerry's plan for balancing the federal budget, claiming that Kerry would increase taxes by billions of dollars.
However, Bush also criticized Kerry for wanting to cut funding to the war on terror. Bush argued that it is wrong for Kerry to want to spend money, and it is wrong for Kerry to want to save money. Similar contradictions were repeated throughout Bush's speech and throughout the entire convention.
Out of fairness, the republicans did offer other messages in addition to liberal bashing. For example, they told us Americans should be living in fear.
The republicans with their rants would have voters believe that unless Bush is re-elected, every single American will be the victim of terrorism.
The Democratic Party is by no means perfect. A portion of the Democratic National Convention was dedicated to criticizing Bush and the Grand Ol' Republican Party, but that wasn't all the democrats had to say.
For three days in New York, instead of talking about jobs and the economy the real issues Americans care about
After all their incessant talking and yelling and repetitive messages, I hope republicans will shut up long enough to discuss the real issues everyone seems to be avioding. Only then can America make a truly informed decision.
the real issues America cares about -- the republicans filled our ears with anger and messages of fear. They can't talk about their record because it's a record of failure.

Editor's note: Kevin Ward was featured in a profile in Friday's sports section: "Golfer Ward discusses turning pro." Ward requested an opportunity to respond to they way readers might have interpreted comments attributed to him.
People are misquoted and misrepresent everyday in newspaper's throughout the world. After reading "Golfer Ward discusses turning professional" I feel misquoted and misrepresented in the following ways:
Dear editor,
School: Now that I am in the last year of my class work at the University I've begun to focus on my life after college.
Currently my GPA rests well above a 3.0 and I look forward to graduating in the spring.

I do care about school but the weight of my worry about being successful in the classroom has lessened, as it does for many seniors, knowing that graduation is around the corner. My focus is shifting to the future for me, as it is for many other seniors.

Laughter rang through the Lied Center after the KU Men's Glee Club performed My Country because a stage hand couldn't move the piano off-stage by herself.
The KU Percussion Ensemble performed Head Talk Friday night at the Lied Center. The piece was written by Mark Ford and conducted by Kevin Bobo.
The crowd also laughed through the percussion ensemble's performance of Head Talk.
The ensemble sat on stage and threw drum heads back and forth for the entertaining Stomp-reminiscent piece.
After a possibly rehearsed missed throw at the end of the piece the members simply shrugged their shoulders and enjoyed the crowd's applause.

"Democracies only work when people participate," he said. "When we participate, we are not followers, we are participants. Discussion forces you to clarify your position."

adult services for the Lawrence Public Library.
The forum took questions and answers from students, and panelists clarified their views on the act.
Tom Knutzen, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, asked the panel — none of whom were in favor of the act — many questions throughout the session.
Knutzen, who is in favor of the act, was disheartened that there were no panelists supporting the act.
"Are you going to compromise the liberties of the majority of Americans, when it would be better to focus on the roots of terrorism?" Hanson asked.
He thought the project itself was a good idea though.
"Remembering what happened is important," he said. "We have to stay focused on our goals."
The Dole Institute sponsored a series of lectures on terrorism and legal responses to it on Saturday.
Robert Elliott, Prairie Village sophomore, attended one of those lectures on Saturday, concerning the act and how judges have responded to it.
The lecture was given by Steven McCallister, dean of law.
"It was interesting debating the rights of the PATRIOT Act," Elliott said. "I like hearing about what other people have to say on the topic."

Offensive rhythm leads to trouble for Toledo defense
BY JONATHAN KEALING

KANSAN SPORTWRIETER
Kansas proved two things in Saturday's 63-14 victory over the Rockets of Toledo.
First, it showed that last week's defensive performance was no fluke. Second, it showed that its offense could make plays.
"I'm really proud of the way our players played in all three phases of the game," said coach Mark Mangino. "We built on last week's defensive performance. The offense clicked and was opportunistic."
Toledo, touted as a Top 25 team going into the season, allowed Kansas' offense 156 yards in the first quarter alone, while managing just 35 of its own.
Kansas posted a record-tying 49 points in the first half. The last time a Jayhawk team accomplished that was against Illinois State in 1998. The team's 63 points were the most since Kansas earned 71 against Cal State-Northridge, exactly five years ago.
Kansas was led by sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann, who went 24-34 with four touchdowns and one interception. Barmann's four touchdowns tied his personal best, which he achieved last season in his debut against Texas A&M.
"The entire offense got in a groove," Barmann said. "We were clicking from the very beginning."
Mangino said he he was nappy with Barmann's performance.
"Adam settled in, and he's doing what he's capable of doing," Mangino said. "Adam did a good job of recognizing the pressure and getting us into the right protections."
Kansas got on the board early and never trailed in the contest. The scoring began with a 46-yard drive on its first possession, capped by a two-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back John Randle.
more rummaging. The Jayhawks went up 14-0 just a few minutes later when Barmann connected with junior Mark Simmons on an 18-yard pass. The pass completed a drive that earned 51 yards in five plays.
Kansas would go on to score four more touchdowns, pushing the score to 42-0, before Toledo could earn any points of its own.

Barmann shines in rout of Rockets

In the first half of Saturday's contest against Toledo, sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann showed that Kansas' high-powered offense did not depart with Bill Whittimore.
Barmann threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns in the first half alone, which
"Adam settled in, and he is doing what he is capable of doing," coach Mark Mangino said. "Adam made some really good throws."
helped give the 'Hawks a 49-7 lead at halftime. Barmann threw for just 99 yards the entire game against Tulsa last week.
"The fact in college football is that from week one to week two is where you usually make your biggest strides," Mangino said. "He was a lot more comfortable. He's always a confident guy but he looked like he was in control."
Barmann was nearly perfect in the first half, going 20-24, far better than his first half against Tulsa when he completed just 7-19 passes.
"He is a good player. He always hit his man and he would look off receivers to keep us guessing," Toledo
Barmann finished the game 24-34 for 310 vards.
cornerback Michael Broussard said
Barmann hit his receivers on deep routes and on the short ones. A short screen pass to sophomore running back John Randle turned into a 55-yard touchdown.
"He sat in the pocket and he was real patient," Randle said. "He let everything develop."
Soccer stuns No.7 Clemson
BY KELIS ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com
KANANS SPORTSWRIVER
If there was any question whether the No. 21 Kansas women's soccer team was going to live up to its preseason hype, it was answered on Saturday when Kansas defeated No. 7 Clemson, 3-1.
Entering the game, Clemson was perfect on the season in five games and owned road wins over perennial powerhouses Texas and Texas A&M.
The win gave the Jayhawks their first win against a top 10 team in program history and their best start ever at 6-0.
"I thought that we played pretty well today," said coach Mark Francis. "We had a good game plan coming into the match and we were able to follow through on it. We had some really good challenges in the match, and our girls did a good job of battling out there. I feel like, overall, this was a really good game for us."
Kansas jumped out to an early lead when senior midfielder Lauren Williams converted a free kick at the 31:43 mark.
of the year.
Clemson fought back with a goal of its own late in the first period, when midfielder Lydia Vandenbergh was able to slip a shot past KU senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller to cut the lead to 2-1.
KU stretched its lead to 2-0 just over five minutes later, when junior Nicole Braman received a pass from Monica Brothers and maneuvered a shot past the goalie for her first goal of the year.
That goal ruined any dream Miller had of a scoreless season. It broke her scoreless streak of 544:36 minutes, which dated back to the final game of 2003.
2003. Miller didn't let it faze her, though, as she tied her season-high total of six saves in the match.
In the second half, Kansas put the game away with a goal from Rachel Gilfillan to take a 5-1 lead. Gilfillan received a pass from Jessica Smith and fired a shot from the right side of the box for her second goal of the season.
KU also defeated Furman 3-0 on Thursday and finished the 2004 Selected Kickoff Classic with a mark of 2-0.
The Jayhawks' stellar play was rewarded by the tournament committee when six members were selected to the All-Tournament team.
Freshman defender Afton Sauer, sophomore defenders Holly Gault and Nikki Alvarez and Williams were named All-Tournament performers.
In addition to those four selections, Gillfillan was selected as the tournament's Offensive MVP, and Miller was selected as the Defensive MVP.
Kansas will attempt to defeat a ranked team for the second game in a row tomorrow when they take on No. 14 Illinois.

Here's to Kansas football, friends
In last week's reality installment, I hit the court with Keith Langford. In week two, the reality came away from the playing field.
Over the past two years, covering Kansas football and basketball games for the Kansan has kept me from my favorite activities — a day of drinking followed by a Jayhawk sporting event
With a day off and some help from friends, I returned to the days of old this Saturday. As the Jayhawks were preparing to take on the Toledo Rockets, I was getting ready for one of the longest days of my lite. To start the day, I was flanked by two guest stars in this week's column
Malashock and Ryan Wood. Here is a diary of the day's events, as explained from the notebook in my back pocket.
- former Kansan columnists Rvan
3:07 p.m. - The three Ryans sit down at the Yacht Club to down the first of two three-liter towers of Bud Light. Most of what followed cannot be printed, but we got ourselves nicely buzzed for the game
5:01 p.m. - We get up to leave; Wood and I suffer from the spinning head syndrome. Not good. Especially not good now that we have to get into the car. The best part is that Wood gets stuck in the back seat, and Wood sitting in Malashock's back seat is like looking at Wayne Simine cram into a go-cart.
5:11 p.m. This could be the best sarcastic Wood response of the day;

castle wood response on the day.
Malashock: "You know, a lot of today's game depends on Adam Barmann."
Wood: "Yeah, because he only touches the ball 50 times a game."

5:55 p.m. - We get to our seats at the
door
game. Right after Malashock asks ii Mario Kinsey is starting at quarterback, he realizes that we're gonna be sober again by halftime. This could be an issue.
6:28 p.m. - After Johnny Beck drills his third kickoff into the back of the endzone - Wood: "Someone pissed him off."
6:40 p.m. - Greene: "Can you say National Championship?"
6:45 p.m. - Wood: "You know, right now this is projected to be a 112-0 ball game.
6. 35 p.m. - Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the fact that Kansas is up like 35-0 at this point.
7. 01 p.m. - Greene: "OK, so we've
established the fact that Toledo's overrated."
8. 30 p.m. - At this point, we decided to leave the game, and after meeting up with a couple more buddies, my parents wanted to meet for drinks at The Hawk. This was where the fireworks continued.
As we walk up, some drunken yutz decided to yell "Hey Greene, you suck," and subsequently gave me the finger. When my mom saw this, she tried to yell back, but I covered her mouth. Eventually, the dude came out to talk with me and pulled me aside.

Selfs visitprompts surprise commitmentfrom Wright
MEN'S BASKETBALL
Julian Wright, a 6-foot-8 forward from Flossmoor, Ill., verbally committed to coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks over the weekend.
Wright, who is ranked as the 10th-best player overall by rivals.com, received an in-home visit from Self on Thursday, then committed Friday without even visiting KU's campus.
the signing came as a surprise because two weeks ago Kansas was not even on Wright's list of potential schools.
Wright then announced that he narrowed his choices to three Arizona, Depaul and Illinois — but decided last week to let Self talk to him in his home.
Wright averaged 10.4 points,7.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists as a junior last season.
According to rivals.com, he is a quick and athletic defender and excels at penetrating and passing on offense.
The addition of Wright adds to an already talented recruiting class for Self.
Mario Chalmers, 12th-best player overall and No.1 point guard in the nation, has already signed, along with Micah Downs, who is ranked 14th overall.
The Jayhawks have one scholarship still available, which will most likely be offered to C.J. Miles. The 6-foot-5 guard from Dallas ranked 26th overall, and visited the Kansas campus two weeks ago.

Chiefs did not expect loss
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Quentin Griffin might make the Denver Broncos forget Clinton Portis after all.
Denver traded Portis to Washington to get cornerback Champ Bailey, a potentially risky move because Portis rushed for over 1,500 yards in each of his first two seasons.
Griffin ran for 156 yards and scored three touchdowns in his first game as Portis' replacement, lifting the Broncos to a 34-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.
Portis was superb in his debut with the Redskins, rushing for 148 yards and touchdown in a 16-10 victory over Tampa Bay. Griffin was just as good.
He dashed and dived his way to touchdown runs of 25 and 47 yards and caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Jake Plummer in the first quarter. Griffin even did Portis one better, breaking his team record for most yards on opening day. Portis had 120 last year.
Bailey made the trade look even better,
He tipped away a pass to Tony Gonzalez in the second quarter on the first ball thrown his direction, and intercepted another just before halftime when Trent Green scrambled and tried throw over his head. Bailey even got involved in the offense, lining up for a handful of plays and catching an 11-yard pass in the first half.
it after two teams made it.
It didn't work out that way.
The game was supposed to be more of a defensive matchup than in years past after both teams made changes.
If didn't Kansas City's defense ranked 29th in the league last season, costing defensive coordinator Greg Robinson his job. The Chiefs didn't look any different under Gunther Cunningham.
Denver scored on its first three possessions, Plummer threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns and the Chiefs couldn't keep up with Griffin's jitterbug moves. Denver finished with 415 yards.
The Broncos added Pro Bowlers Bailey and John Lynch in an attempt to get better on defense. They were better than the Chiefs, but still gave up 151 yards and three touchdowns to Priest Holmes.
Kansas City's defense didn't put up much of a fight from the start.
Jason Elam started things off with a 43-yard field goal, then Plummer hit Griffin on a 1-yard touchdown pass to put the Broncos up 10-7. The Broncos kept it going early in the second quarter, moving 50 yards in six plays for Griffin's dashing 25-yard touchdown run.
The Broncos weren't much better at the start.
Green hit Eddie Kennison for a 57-yard pass on the game's second play after Lynch bit on an out-fake, and Holmes capped the 80-yard drive by bulling in from the 2.
The Chiefs managed just 93 yards the rest of the half to trail 17-7, but needed just 3 1/2 minutes of the third quarter to get back in it — thanks to Plummer.
His first pass of the third quarter was intercepted by Monty Beisel, leading to Lawrence Tynes' 50-yard field goal. Plummer then tried to throw left-hand to avoid a safety on the next drive. That one ended up in the hands of Shawn Barber and Holmes scored two plays later on a 4-yard run, tying the game at 17 as Plummer stood on the sideline shaking his head.
The Broncos needed just 89 seconds to answer, with Griffin taking off through a big hole and shaking Greg Wesley near the 20 for a 47-yard touchdown run.
Kansas City came right back, blowing the Broncos off the line for 77 yards on seven straight runs. Holmes finished it off, bouncing off Lynch, planting his hand for balance and breaking two more tackles for a 33-yard touchdown run.
Denver took the lead back on Elam's 45-yard field goal, then sealed it on Plummer's 2-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Hape after Griffin juked his way to a 19-yard run.
Chiefs cornerback William Bartee was carted off the field with a sprained neck. Bartee was injured late in the first quarter when the side of his head hit Denver's Rod Smith on the hip during a punt.
GREENE: Jayhawks, friends and beer
After showing me that he was belligerently drunk and had no clue what he was talking about. I played nice and just told him to go back in the bar.
The best part of this? My dad was staring him down the entire time.

Along with my parents, some family friends and my buddies Greg and Max, we headed to the Yacht Club...again.
We walked back to the car, and my dad dropped the quote of the night:
"You know, people can think you suck. Everyone has their opinions. But as long as the people who sign your checks don't think you suck, I think you're all right."
The final stop of the night was with
Greg and Max to my friend Ben's party for one last drink.
All in all, it was a good day. I hung out with some old friends, drank with my parents and watched the Jayhawks dominate the Rockets. Kansas Football is officially an all-day event once again.
Any regrets? Yeah, just that I wish I could have done this more often.

Rams defeat Cardinals with veteran players' help
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fauk rushed for 128 yards on 22 carries to lead the St. Louis Rams to a 17-10 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Despite two knee operations in the last year, the 31-year-old running back's steady play helped the Rams overcome three costly turnovers that kept the game close.
ST. LOUIS — Marshall Faulk and Emmitt Smith quieted any talk about last hurrahs.
Faulk, who has missed 11 games in the last two seasons, shared time with Rams first-round pick Steven Jackson, but it was clear who was getting most of the attention.
"He had an outstanding coming-out party." Jackson said. "And I think he answered a lot of questions about his knee."
Smith, the NFLs career leading rusher, also had a resurgent game, running for 87 yards on 16 carries, including an 11-yard touchdown run that put the Cardinals ahead 10-9 in the final minute of the third quarter. Smith, 35, was limited to only 256 yards last year due to injuries.
"Emmitt is a great back, a guy that I idolize, a guy that gets it done," Faulk said. "If you look at him out there you wonder, 'What's he doing playing?' He makes things happen."
Smith took no solace in his effectiveness because the Cardinals lost.
should be winning the game. Jackson also played well in his debut, shaking off a lost fumble on his first career carry after a 14-yard gain. Jackson, the first running back taken in the draft, finished with 50 yards on seven carries.
"I don't have to play the whole game now and all the pressure of the running game isn't on me," Faulk said. "It's kind of a nice change-up when I come out to have him go in there."
ness because the ball over should be winning the game."
have him go in there.
The Rams beat the Cardinals for the fifth straight time and sent Arizona to its 14th straight road loss, but did it the hard way. Each of the turnovers came deep in Arizona territory, and they also ran out of gas at the Arizona 10 and 4, settling for field goals by Jeff Wilkine
Cardinals first-round pick Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for 70 yards, including a 37-yard catch on a flea-flicker from Josh McCown on the first play from scrimmage.

Rams LB Pisa Tinoisamoa played most of the game after dislocating his right shoulder early in the second quarter.
Notes: Wilkins became the Rams' career leading scorer with 797 points, breaking a tie with Mike Lansford. He also hit his 13th career field goal of 50 or more yards, extending his team record.
Rams rookie DE Anthony Hargrove sustained a mild concussion on the opening kickoff and backup LB Trev Faulk tore a hamstring.

First, Kansas senior Steve Vockrodt grabbed the lead, then junior Mike Putzke took it, and finally sophomore Tyler Kelly stepped up to cross the finish line first for the Jayhawks, third overall.
No matter who led for the men's cross country team Saturday, a pack of teammates was always close behind. The Jayhawks cruised to victory Saturday at the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational in Topeka despite holding their top two runners, sophomore Benson Chesang and senior Chris Jones, out of the meet.

But Kelly said he could do better.
"I felt a little sluggish for the first couple of miles," he said. "I felt better last week, but I still put together a race."
Like the men, the women's team stayed in a pack for much of the race, but it finished far behind winner Oklahoma State and placed fourth out of eight teams in the six-kilometer race.

Patrick McGowan, Kansas freshman runner, races to the finish against Zach Taylor, Wichita State freshman. The Kansas men's team captured first place in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational in Topeka Saturday morning.
"They ran in a group," Clark said, "but the group was in the wrong place."
The team was led by a pack of freshmen and sophomores. Freshman Connie Abbott finished first on the team, placing 12th in 23:29.9. She was followed by sophomores Laura Major, 16th, 23:52.4, Dena Seibel, 24th, 23:47.5, and Jessie Violand, 25th, 23:51.3, and junior Angela Pichardo, 27th, 24:01.4.
Redwine said he wasn't too disappointed with fourth place, considering the inexperience of the team.
"When you're depending on young athletes, these things happen," he said.
Abbott said she was pleased to finish first on the team in just her second college race. She placed third on the team at the Bob Timmons Invitational on Sept. 4.
"I felt ten times better than last week," Abbott said.
Senior Megan Manthe, the top Jayhawk finisher to the Bob Timmons Invitational, sat out to rest a hurting foot and to ensure that she wouldn't turn an ankle, as she has the past two seasons at the meet.
Many athletes complained about the course. But they will run it again at the Big 12 Championships on October 30.
"There were a lot of tight turns," said junior Matt French. "The footing was not the greatest. But I'm glad we saw it, so we know what to expect."

The Jayhawks will get a break this weekend before heading to Minneapolis, for the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 25, where they will line up against some of the best teams in the nation.
Woodard inducted into Naismith Hall of Fame

The most decorated female athlete in University of Kansas history was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Friday night. Lynette Woodard, a fourtime All-American and the leading scorer in the history of women's basketball, was honored at ceremonies in Springfield, Mass., this weekend.
Former NBA players Clyde Drexler, Jerry Colangelo, Bill Sharman, Maurice Stokes and Drazen Dalipagic were also inducted into the hall. Legendary Kansas broadcaster Max Falkenstein was honored for being awarded the Curt Gowdy media award earlier this summer.
Woodard was the 11th woman to be inducted into the hall as a player. During her acceptance speech, she thanked her family and former Kansas
coach Marian Washington.
Woodard told reporters after the ceremony that the feeling was overwhelming.
"I feel my spirit soaring," she said. "It is an out-of-body experience."
Woodard played at the University from 1977-1981. She finished her career with 3,649 points, which is second only to Pete Maravich for most points by a college athlete.
a college athlete
Woodard was a member of the
1980 and 1984 Olympic teams and won a gold medal in 1984. Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, who became a member of the hall in 2000, coached Woodard in the 1984 Olympics. She was also in attendance for Friday night's ceremony.
Summit said that she knew from the start that Woodard was a special player. She said if Woodard were playing today, she would still be an All-American.
"There are not many people
that you look back on and say that about," Summitt said to The Kansas City Star.
Woodard was also the first woman to play with the Harlem Globetrotters, joining the team in 1985. She also played two seasons of professional basketball with the WNBAs Cleveland Rockers and Detroit Shock.
Last year, when Washington took a leave of absence from coaching women's basketball at the University, Athletics Director
Lew Perkins appointed Woodard as the interim head coach.
Woodard, a native of Wichita, said her career was a dream come true.
"I started to dream when I was six years old that I would play for the Globetrotters," she said in her speech on Friday night. "I got to do that after 20 years of saying it and believing it before it came true."

Volleyball keeps rolling
By Bill Cross

KANSAN SWIMMER
Jesi Lima, junior middle blocker, and Paula Caten, junior outside hitter, stand ready as Emily Brown, freshman opposite hitter, saves a ball spiked by one of the Denver Pioneers. The Kansas volleyball team swept Denver Saturday to improve its record to 7-0.
Kansas posted 6.5 blocks in the third game. Impressive blocking was a trend that helped them throughout the weekend.
This weekend had a familiar feel for the Kansas volleyball team.
Kansas swept its second consecutive weekend tournament, winning the Jayhawk Invitational by defeating Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Denver, winning 3-0, 3-1 and 3-0. A week earlier, Kansas won the Oral Roberts Classic.
Heavy favorites coming into Friday's first match, the Jayhawks started off sloppily, falling behind Rhode Island. 2-8. But Kansas scored seven consecutive points after the break, and it would not trail again in the match.
Junior middle blocker Josi Lima again won MVP honors as she led the team in kills.
Solid defense — particularly at the net — kept Rhode Island's percentage at.105 for the game, and Kansas won 30-24.
When the top two teams in the tournament faced off in Friday's nightcap, Kansas' 15-7 blocking
Junior Andi Rozum repeated as the all-tournament setter after leading all three matches in assists.
After a 30-23 victory, Kansas attacked poorly in game two, hitting at just .154 percentage.
If there was a difference between this tournament and the last, it was the quality of opponents. In their second match, the Jayhawks faced the No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers.
Senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels, who was second on the team in kills last weekend, also earned all-tournament honors.
"Hopefully that competition will get us ready to face some big teams in the Big 12," Michaels said.
advantage may have been been the difference between winning and losing in the 3-1 victory over Wisconsin.
The Jayhawks took game one in impressive fashion en route to a 30-21 final.
Most of the close calls went the other way in game three. With the game tied at 29, Lima was ruled "in the net," giving the Badgers a point. When a tap-over by Emily Brown was ruled not to have touched a nearby Wisconsin player, the game was over.
Wisconsin stayed close in game two, trailing 26-25 near the game's end. On the ensuing serve, a questionable out-of-bounds call worked in the Jayhawks' favor. The team would win 30-26.
"You can always blame it on officiating," Michaels said. "It was our job to put it away before that became a problem."
Lima wasn't going to let it become more of a problem. She had six kills, one dig and a two block assists in game four. The Jayhawks kept the Badgers at arm's length this time, winning 30-22 and ending the match.
"Josi's very smart," coach Ray Bechard said. "She can see what a lot of people can't."
"We didn't get any breaks in game three, and we bounced right back in game four. That's the sign of a pretty confident team."
Bechard said he was glad his team would not have to play in another weekend tournament so his players would have more time between games.
Kansas made short work of Denver. All 14 players on the roster saw play in game three as the Jayhawks built a 15-2 lead on the Pioneers. They swept the match 30-23, 30-22, 30-13
Sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa, who contributed 12 kills against Wisconsin, was held out of Saturday's match against Denver. Correa tore her ACL last season.
Kansas will rest today and travel to Kansas City tomorrow for a 7 p.m. match against the UMKC Kangaroos.
"It's just a precautionary thing to give her a little time to rest and get healthy," Bechard said.
Senior outside hitter Lindsey Morris filled in for Correa and had six kills.
"We're going to be their biggest match of the year," he said of the Kangarooos.

Kealing picks 11 winners, misses 2
You know, I thought I really had a chance at a trip to the land of perfection this week.
e
When I saw Fresno State pummel Kansas State, I thought my big gamble had paid huge dividends. Then, while I was sitting in the box press high above Memorial Stadium, I heard the unbelievable.
It had happened. The unranked Fighting of Notre Dame had knocked off No. 7 Michigan. I was speechless. When I had last looked at that game, the commentators had all but given the game to Michigan. I guess that shows what sportswriters know.
KICK THE KANSAN

Overall, I went 11-2 this week, with my other loss being the Washburn-Emporia State
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
game. Emporia State lost 28-10,
even though it recorded 382
yards of total offense. Washburn
noticed just 317 yards of total
offensive production.
Fortunately for me, no one else did any better than I did. Therefore, I'm going to consider myself the winner of the week. Two individuals did post 11-2 record, as I did. Darcy Webb and Kayvon Sarraf both missed the Notre Dame victory while Webb
picked Texas Tech over New Mexico and Sarraf selected Northwestern over Arizona State.
Somehow, everyone except my roommate liked Fresno State over K-State. When I made that selection, I thought I was being unusual. The same day I turned my picks in though, I saw an Associated Press writer pick Fresno State as well. That was where it started, but before the game kicked off, ESPN broadcasters, Lawrence Journal-World writers and others had all lined up against the Wildcats. I guess I'm just a trendsetter.
This week, I finally got to pick the games that will be in the contest, I think. The games include Notre Dame in its battle with the
other school from the Wolverine State, Michigan State. Also, the games will include Nebraska on the road at Pittsburgh. That was supposed to be Nebraska's first test of the season, however, I think Southern Mississippi already took that honor.
By going 11-2 this week just as good as everyone else I'm going to declare my overall record, Kealing 1, Campus 1. Next week, the campus is going to have to stand up and perform, otherwise, it could become a runaway. As always, good luck to all. There are a lot of games left.
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo. sophomore in journalism and political science.
ROCKETS: Offense shines in second victory of the season
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Rockets' first score came during its ninth series of the game. Starting on its own 14-yard line, junior quarterback Bruce Gradkowski led his team 86 yards in just three plays. The drive ended with a 51-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Steve Odom, who turned a short pass into a long score after shaking a couple of Kansas defenders.
The 'Hawks were quick to muster a response, however, and after a two-yard touchdown run by Randle, Kansas went into the locker room at half time with a 49-7 lead.
Randle, who received the nod to start from Mangino, racked up a personal-best 104 yards rushing with two touchdowns.
He also caught a touchdown pass and had 79 yards receiving.
"John Randle worked hard," Mangino said. "He picked up tough yardage and ran well in the open field."
While Kansas' defense led the way last week, it turned in
another strong performance this week.
Not only did it limit Toledo to only 14 points and 298 yards of offense, it also forced four takeaways.
Senior safety Tony Stubbs and junior linebacker Reid Reid each hauled in an interception.
The Jayhawks also forced two fumbles, one of which was picked up and ran in for a touchdown by junior college transfer Charlton Keith, a defensive end who joined the team last month.
Game Notes:
■ Kansas' official attendance was 41,251; 7,271 more than the number who came to see the jayhawks play their second game last season.
Freshman Scott Webb set a school record with his nine extra points in Saturday's game. The previous mark was eight.
Mangino is 4-0 in games when he wears his blue sweater vest.
Senior kicker Johnny Beck lost the extra point kicking duties after a poor performance last week. While he performed

After Kansas scored the first two touchdowns, Toledo began to put more pressure on Barmann. But Barmann was unfazed, said Mangino.
"They brought a lot of pressure,
"Mangino said. "Adam did
a good job of recognizing the pressure and getting us into the right protections."
Barmann completely outplayed his counterpart on the Rockets, Bruce Gradkowski. Gradkowski was hyped preseason as a Heisman candidate,
but struggled against Kansas' defense. Gradkowski, who completed over 70 percent of his passes last season, was just 15-28 this weekend for 215 yards.

McGovern, a three-term U.S. Senator from South Dakota, received a trophy and a $25,000 monetary award.
McGovern gave a speech highlighting his own accomplishments as a humanitarian and those of fellow senator Bob Dole.

McGovern highlighted what he said were the "two great American traditions" of conservatism and liberalism and said that the country was better off for having both.
"The great genius of American politics is the creative tension between conservatives on one hand and liberals on
the other," he said.
Bryan Behgam, Arlington, Texas, junior and vice president of the KU Young Democrats, said it was good for the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics to bring in someone like McGovern to speak.
"I think that the Dole Institute, since it's opened, has really stressed bipartisanship, which is sorely lacking in Washington, D.C.," he said.

Friends and family mourned the death of University of Kansas student John Herrington yesterday as they cleared out his Olathe apartment.
Herrington, 30, was found dead in his apartment Friday morning.
Herrington's friend, Carly Foster, said he had shot himself.
Herrington's mother, Sandy, said her son fought a lifetime of depression but thought things were looking up.
Helen Lauen, Herrington's friend and 2000 KU graduate, said Herrington made it to every party, often playing the guitar or bass for friends.
Herrington had just declared a major in psychology at the University and lived with his fiancee, Kim Johnson.

Officials, analysts dispute Lawrence's water quality
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY

KANSAN KAST WINTER
Almost one year after Organic Style magazine ranked Lawrence 30th out of 125 cities for least-polluted and healthy cities, Lawrence is back on Organic Style's list of a city's water quality, but this time the ranking isn't so favorable.
Lawrence was ranked 19th out of the 25 cities in which the magazine tested water quality. Eugene, Ore., had the cleanest water and Fresno, Calif., was last.
Federally required public reports regarding the pollution testing of drinking water were used from five water utilities, including Lawrence, to conduct the survey, said Robert Weinhold, the New Mexico analyst
who conducted the survey for the magazine. Weinhold, also a freelance journalist, said the University of Kansas, Baldwin, Eudora and Douglas County Rural Water District No. 3 were tested.
No. 3 were tested. The University of Kansas received 122 points for its water contaminants. Weinhold said good water should have a ranking at or below 60 points. Lawrence received 160 points.
The University gets its water from the City of Lawrence, which means the water comes from either the Kansas River or the Clinton Reservoir. Atrazine, an herbicide, was the worst contaminant found in Lawrence's water. Weinhold said.
"We have very safe water," Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said.

"I wouldn't expect anybody to stop drinking it the next day," Weinhold said.
In the 2003 water quality data reported by the City of Lawrence, the highest level of Atrazine detected at the Kaw River Water Treatment Plant was 0.3 parts per billion. Federal standards allow 3 parts per billion of Atrazine in water. One part per billion is equivalent to one minute in 2,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000. Weinhold said the survey was only a snapshot in time and the levels could change and will.

Assault weapons ban expires
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gun shop owners don't expect much to change now that a 10-year federal ban on assault weapons has expired.
For one thing, they say, manufacturers were able to keep many weapons on the market simply by changing the guns' names or altering some features.
"The idea that this is opening up the floodgate to a wave of violence is stupid," said Jeff Neumann, manager of The Bullet Hole in Overland Park, Kan. National
But not everyone is so sure. National police organizations such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the International Brotherhood of Police Officers and the Fraternal Order of Police supported renewing the ban, which expired Monday.
ban, which expired Monday.
"We have some concerns, and we share them with many law enforcement agencies across the nation," said Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. John Eichkorn. "Truly, what can be gained by having those weapons on our nation's streets? The safety and security of Kansas is our priority, and taking away the ban concerns the patrol."
The measure, signed by President Clinton, had outlawed 19 types of military-style assault weapons, banned certain features on firearms such as bayonet mounts, and limited ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.
Some gun shop owners, such as John Daily, manager of The Bullet Stop in Wichita, anticipate at least some interest in new high-capacity magazines.

Still, Pat Livingston, owner of Pat's Pawn and Gun in Ogden, doesn't anticipate a rush for assault weapons similar to the one that occurred before the ban went into effect.
"Bill Clinton and (gun-control advocate) Sarah Brady were the best salespeople in the world," he said. "They sold all them by doing that."

the group's first meeting was Wednesday. Twelve women joined in a discussion of body image in the media and advertising. The next meeting is at 6 p.m. on Sept. 29 in the Gridiron Room of the Burge Union. The focus topic will also be on body image.
"Body image is not the only thing we want to talk about," Morris said.
Next month the group has politics on its agenda. Morris said that the group wants to try to make voting a trend for women instead of a slogan, such as "Rock the vote." Morris said she didn't think that slogans

U.S. airstrikes kill 20 in Baghdad
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. warplanes unleashed devastating airstrikes on a suspected hideout where operatives from an Al Qaeda-linked group were meeting yesterday, and hospital officials said 20 people died.
One strike hit an ambulance as it sped away with wounded, a hospital official said; the U.S.
military said innocent lives were spared.
Also yesterday, a video posted on a Web site in the name of the militants — led by Jordanian-born terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — purportedly showed the beheaded of a kidnapped Turkish truck driver.
Al-Zarqawi is blamed for a string of terror attacks in Iraq, including bombings and the
slayings of other hostages. Washington has a $10 million bounty on his head.
The U.S. military said jets carried out the strike on a site in Fallujah, where several members of a group led by al-Zarqawi were meeting. It was at least the fifth airstrike in the past week on the city, indicating the high priority U.S. officials place on destroying al-Zarqawi's group.

Alford had the opportunity to film a movie called Listen to the Shells in Florida during spring break last year because someone saw her on Evil Kansas.

Two fans recently came up to Alford at a party and asked what was going to happen next on the show.
The first episode introduced the main character Chase, played by Rob Hecht. In the show, his girlfriend tells him he needed to find something productive to do with his free time or she would leave him.

Students must be aware of international tragedies
www.kansan.com
Imagine that you are walking through a gym. On the floor are dozens of black and clear body bags which contain the bodies of children — many charred beyond recognition — waiting to be identified by their parents.
Sound like a movie? Sadly, this story is not fiction. The parents of at least 156 children killed in Beslan, Russia were forced to do just this on the afternoon of Sept. 5. The deaths were the result of a terrorist siege of Middle School Number One which began on Sept. 1 and lasted just over 48 hours.
More than 20 armed Chechen and foreign rebels were associated with the siege. The takeover ended with mass confusion. The terrorists detonated explosives and shot fleeing hostages.
In the end, at least 323 hostages were killed, along with 26 hostage takers and 10 Russian Special Forces Troops. More than 400 more were injured, many seriously.
international events. Look at this situation objectively. No one in this country would deny that the Columbine school shooting in 1999 was a tragedy. In that shooting, 15 students died. The killers were students at the school, and were among the dead.
Many KU students are not even aware of the tragedy. Other students know about it but do not realize the true weight of these international events.

the position that if it doesn't happen here then it doesn't matter at all. This type of thinking is completely irresponsible. People across the globe offered sympathy on Sept. 11, 2001 and many nations shared the pain of the United States.
During the past months, Americans focused on the Democratic and Republican conventions.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world experienced one of the most violent times in modern history. Separate terrorist attacks in Spain, Russia, Iraq, Israel and other nations have killed hundreds.
As college students, the Beslan siege and other terrorist attacks should play an important role in our immediate lives.

Save some change for United Way

Then, the smell hits you. Glorious nacho cheesiness wafts toward your nose, beckoning you towards the concession stand. What's a few bucks, anyway?

She saw you buy the nachos, she saw you take the change, and she knows you're hiding a wadded up one in your fist. The nerve! Is she honestly asking you to fork over your last dollar?
KATE JENSEN opinion@kansan.com
Yeah, she is.
Yeah, she is.
You see, that girl and others like her sitting just outside the concession stands know something you don't. The money you donate to this mysterious thing called the United Way goes a lot further than your $4 to nachos ever will.
The United Way is a not-for-profit national organization dedicated to raising funds for other non-profit agencies doing great things within and for their community. Douglas County has a United Way branch, which raises funds for over a hundred agencies in and around Lawrence such as the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Pélathé Native American Resource Center.
Yeah, that girl is asking you to donate your dollar. Maybe you don't, but she knows your dollar will go directly toward helping feed a family that's run out of food, educating a child.

That girl knows you don't have a lot of money. She knows what it's like to wake up in the morning, yank on holey socks and ratty jeans, slam down a breakfast of 7-day-old mac and cheese, and ride to class on a duct taped bike. But she also knows that one dollar to you, or to her, doesn't make that much of a difference.
One dollar from you and 15,000 others like you can make a difference.
My astute readers have probably figured out by now that the "girl" of mystery is me at the football game. Don't worry, I won't think any less of you if you stop by my booth, shrug your shoulders, and say you're sorry but you can't donate anything. We've all got our own reasons for the decisions we make, so I'll say thanks and wish you a nice day anyway. But if you've got a buck, a couple of quarters, or even a dime to spare, take a look for the girl or guy with a tireless smile asking—

Celebrities help mobilize public
People are bombarded daily with messages about the strengths and weaknesses of candidates in every election, both local and national. The importance of voting is also being driven into the ground, but surprisingly not by the politicians. Rather, celebrities are taking the lead in the voting campaign, further blurring the lines between entertainment and politics.

ment and politics.
The spectacle at the end of the MTV Video Music Awards is one recent example of the mixing of entertainment and politics. In case you missed it, the mega-hit band OutKast took the stage as red, white and blue balloons rained from the ceiling. Members of the audience held signs resembling campaign signs. The band rapped, the crowd cheered and the whole event resembled a political convention.

During the same event, the daughters of John Kerry and George W. Bush took the stage to encourage people to vote. They tried to de-emphasize party lines and focus on the issues, but the audience response was mixed.
With all the hype over the Republican and Democratic conventions, it is interesting to note that these conventions were the lowest rated ever on television. It seems the public is no longer interested in hearing the candidates, their running mates, spouses, and children taking the stage and touting the greatness of their party, or why
their husband or father is the best choice for president. In fact, the public in general is rather jaded about the whole political process.
whole political process. It is this jaded public attitude that is motivating many celebrities to take front stage and encourage people to vote. While several do not represent specific political views, or support one party over the other, many others do.
In 2003 the Dixie Chicks made several negative comments about the Bush administration at a concert in London. Susan Sarandon, Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck are among the celebrities who openly support the Democratic Party, while Kid Rock, Bruce Willis and Britney Spears advocate for the Republicans.

Sproles struggled against the Fresno State defense and finished the game with 41 yards on 11 carries.
"We never had a football team that just got beat up as badly as we did today, and that also needs to say an awful lot about Fresno State," Snyder said.
Missouri, who has its own Heisman candidate in quarterback Brad Smith, lost to a Troy team, 24-14, who first entered Division I-A football in 2001.

Meanwhile, Colorado was picked to finish fourth in the six-team division, and Kansas was picked to finish last, but it hasn't looked that way for the Buffalos or the Jayhawks so far this season.
Colorado defeated Colorado State in its first game of the season, 27-24, and snuck by Washington State last weekend. 20-12.

I'M A DESKIE BY CHRIS MOORE
Okay Khloe, let's say a fight has broken out. What A FIGHT!!
EKKK!!
Today's Birthday (Sept. 14). Your self-confidence gets a boost this year, as you finally live up to the awesome standards you've set for yourself. Go ahead and give it one more try.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5.
I give you a week.
Is the fight over yet?
Make work your top priority now, and be a perfectionist. Resistance is futtle, and besides, it's just not a good idea.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 9.
You're lucky — and getting luckier by the minute. But don't hesitate. This situation favors love more than money and requires quick action. Make a commitment, or accept a wonderful invitation.
HOROSCOPES
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 5.
Bite your lip, and hold your temper. There's nothing to be gained by telling the others how you feel. Besides, it's liable to change.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 9.
You may find yourself hiding away in a book or practicing a
skill you want to acquire. Both of those are recommended.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 4.
It's kind of like you're making a fortune on the nickel slots. You're not getting much from each transaction, but add it all up, and you're rich!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 9.
Today
You may not want to burden others with all that you have on your mind, yet it's too much to keep stuffed inside. It's a good time to start a diary.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 4.
A difficult, quite meticulous task continues to demand attention. Set aside everything else for now. There's more time for romance tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8.
Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a4.
You'll steer opinion in your direction if you let everyone have their say. Listen, and don't try to fix their problems. Just let them know you've heard.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It's a marvelous day for shopping. You'll keep track of every cent, bell and whistle for every product on your list. Allocate as much time as possible, and give it your full attention.
You can reach much further than you previously thought. There's abundance out there, more than you have imagined. Go ahead and take the next step.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9.
The conditions in effect now are like you were finally making a presentation to get your Ph.D. You've been studying for ages, so trust your imagination. You'll do well under pressure.
WE LOVE OUR KANSAN.
Friday

THE FUNNY TO PARTY
KANSAN
You've already proven you're good at taking care of other people. Now let them know how much you appreciate what they can do for you. It's OK to sit back every once in a while and delegate — to perfectionists.

Volleyball gets its first Top-25 rank
With its weekend victories in the Jayhawk Invitational tournament, the Kansas volleyball team earned its first-ever national ranking, coming in 24th in this week's USA Today/CSTV Coaches' poll. The poll was released yesterday by the American Volleyball Coaches' Association.
The Jayhawks have won all of their matches this season, with notable victories over Arkansas in the season opener and 25th-ranked Wisconsin on Friday. They have swept four of their seven matches.
Kansas looks to remain unbeaten tonight against UMKC in Kansas City and will begin Big 12 Conference play Friday in College Station, Texas, against 12th-ranked Texas A&M.

Upsets stir chaos in Big 12 rankings

The unexpected became commonplace this weekend for football teams in the Big 12 North. The three teams projected to finish highest in the division, perennial favorites Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska, were all embarrassed by mid-major schools and dropped to 1-1.
Meanwhile, Kansas and Colorado, teams that were predicted to be in the bottom half of the division, are tied for first.
first.
Missouri and Kansas State both dropped out of the Top 25 after this weekend's losses, leaving Oklahoma at No. 2 and Texas at No. 6 as the only ranked teams in the Big 12 Conference.
Two teams in the Top 25 is the lowest
number of ranked teams the Big 12 has fielded in the nearly 10-year history of the conference.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the higher number of unranked teams didn't necessarily indicate a weakened conference.
"It has been shown year after year that our teams in the Big 12 will lose a game here or there early on and finish really strong," Mangino said.
History seems to support his point. Kansas State, for example, struggled early in the season last year when it lost three straight games at one point but still managed to win the conference title.

Recreation Center. About 800 students have already enrolled in KU Fit for the fall semester and more are expected to do so as the year progresses.
KU Fit's curriculum is geared toward aerobics and overall fitness, and the majority of attendees are women. Some of its classes for the fall are Pilates.
Cardio Corabat, Kickin' Yoga, Core Cardio, Core Training, Yogilates and Body Tone, among others. For students who want to focus on abdominal toning and strength there are specific classes. Crunch Time and Double Crunch.
Crunch Time and Beyond Classes are free of charge and are offered at varying times, ranging from 6:30 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., seven days a week. The Recreation Services Web site lists the full schedules at www.ku.edu/~recserv. Because of room sizes, each class holds only 30 students.
The group fitness sessions range from 30 to 60 minutes in length and are taught by instructors who have national certification or complete KU Fit's instructor training, which typically lasts about one semester.
"I really enjoy exercising with other people." Adrienne Banks, Overland Park senior, said. "It's a good way to stay motivated."
Students enrolled in KU Fit find the convenient schedules and group atmosphere beneficial to their involvement.
Hellman also noted the merits of exercising with others.

Rockets fizzle, fall to Jayhawk star players
Saturday at Memorial Stadium, the defense wasn't left at the altar as the offense managed to show up and absolutely pound a Toledo team that was supposed to compete with the Jayhawks. But the 'Hawks jumped out to a resounding lead over the visiting Rockets and never looked back.
The offense was effective, posting 28 quick points in the first quarter and scoring 56 the entire game.
Junior defensive end Charlton Keith added a touchdown on a fumble recovery in the second, bringing the afternoon total to 63.
It was a game that may have answered some important questions for Jayhawk football fans: Can the defense repeat its opening weekend performance? Will the offense ever play up the level of last year's squad?
play the defense — again — played well, allowing only 298 yards of total offense to a Toledo team led by junior quarterback Bruce Gradkowski, an ESPN "Heisman Watch" candidate.
The defense set up many of Kansas' scoring opportunities, forcing three fumbles and intercepting two passes. You may think that beating Tulsa and Toledo are no big feats for Kansas, but both those teams finished 8-4 last season and feature talented, experienced quarterbacks.
Sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann appeared to be the resurrection of Bill Whitmorem Saturday, passing for 310 yards and four touchdowns, while successfully leading his team to one touchdown drive after another.
Junior wide receiver Mark Simmons and senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau both had serviceable days, each catching six passes, including touchdowns for 81 and 53 yards, respectively.
Sophomore running back John Randle, however, was the star. He rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns, while catching three passes for 79 yards, including a 55-yard reception for another touchdown on the first play of a late first quarter drive.

Toys every student should own

Shop around and buy yourself a present you know will be used

Say the words "sex toys," and traditional vibrators and dildos probably come to mind. These days, the traditional definition of "sex toys" has diversified to include anal beads, lubricants, handcuffs and a host of many others.
others.
If you are a little nervous to walk into a "toy store" to browse, you're not alone. Robert Osburn, co-owner of Naughty But Prey, 1741 Massachusetts. St., said he could recognize first timers and that he saw them all the time.

But if you're worried that everyone will find out you've been in, don't fret.
been in, don't leave. "We're like Las Vegas; whatever is said in my store stays in my store," Osburn said. He lets regulars acknowledge him first when he encounters them outside the store.
Jennifer Garrett, general manager of Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., said that no discussion of sex toys would be complete without mentioning the Rabbit vibrator
memorizing the Rules "Ever since that Sex in the City episode [where Charlotte became addicted to hers], they have been flying off the shelves."
She said there were many types and sizes to choose from. For you adventurous souls, models similar to the Rabbit are priced anywhere from $19.95 to $94.
Osburn said many college-aged girls bought quieter, smaller vibrators that wouldn't disturb roommates or suitmates. Men, he said, usually opted for the videos.
"I offer movie exchange for a small fee, so once a guy or girl is done with a particular movie, he or she can exchange it for a different one."
Garrett said that lubrication sales had increased from 3 to 7 percent of total sales since students returned.
"We recommend Kama Sutra lube because it's water-based, flavored, self-warming and isn't sticky," she said.
sticky, Kama Sutra lube comes in nine flavors and costs about $12. Osburn agreed that water-based
lubes were the best-selling. In particular, he said, Wett seems to be the most popular. Wett runs from .93 for a sample size to $15.95 for the largest size.
Garrett said she saw a lot more college-aged women than

And although traditional sex toys are usually the purview of the women, Garrett said there were reasons for men to like sex toys as well.
toys as well. Because college students don't always have a lot of money for "luxury items," here are five relatively inexpensive — yet enjoyable — "sex toys" every student should have:
- **ice** - Ice is practically free, which is a plus. It is also numbing (read: prolonging, ladies) and can be fun for the squirms and squeals it elicits. But be wary; ice is usually tolerable only in small doses.
- Kama Sutra Lubricant - It's not cheap, but it's worth it. This stuff is so versatile that you won't mind spending $12 for a bottle. Use it for a sensual massage or for a little extra slipperiness. And don't forget: it's flavored, too.
Handkerchiefs - These are usually less than $10 and are sold in packages at stores like Wal-Mart or SuperTarget. These can do double duty as blindfoldes or restraints for kinky fun in the bedroom.
Cool Whip Free - Available at grocery stores for less than $5, this traditional treat topping can be the perfect topping for your partner. It's fat-free, not as sticky as whipped cream and has only 15 calories per serving. Most foods can be tricky, but with this treat, you won't mind cleaning your plate.
Mini Mite Massager - This little guy sells for less than $10. It is four inches long and comes with four interchangeable heads with different textures for body, scalp, muscles and joints. Not only could this make for a relaxing or sensual massage, but it's waterproof and quiet. The Mini Mite can be used to spice up any sexual encounter, solo or otherwise.

What some students might consider to be taboo, three women consider conversation topics for their talk show.

"I think many listeners enjoy hearing from guests like the Fetish Troop. Not many people are aware of them because of the lack in local media coverage." Wade, Wichita senior, said.
Every Wednesday from 11 p.m. to midnight, listeners tune into JKH (90.7 FM) to hear the envelope-pushing sex topics on the O! show.
"Once we had a local sex worker on the air."
Guests like Bussel are common on the show. Other previously featured guests, authors Em & Lo, came to the studio to discuss their book Nerve Guide to Sexual Etiquette. The fetish Troop was also a guest of the O! show, talking about their local performances with whips, chains and more.

"The O! show gets such a positive response because it touches on issues that are usually off limits." Cornwell, Omaha, Neb., senior, said.
Callers have questions they are too embarrassed to ask under any other circumstance.
Corrwell, Omana, Neb., sced Occasionally the pranksters call in with attempts to give out their phone numbers on air, hoping to get a date.
"We are on a seven-second delay, so I screen the calls," Wade said. "When someone tries to be sneaky I just cut them off before it becomes a problem."
Other callers will discuss anything openly on the air.
"During the foreplay segment a guy admitted to enjoy 'sticking it anywhere,' which created a large response," Beck, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said.
Response: Beck, Kansas City, Mo., senior. The show's overall theme is women and sex. Feminism is a focus, mostly questioning a feminist perspective on issues such as pornography and masturbation.
"Most female listeners are thankful for the show and relieved to have a sex show geared towards women for a change," Beck said.
There were initial concerns regarding the response of the show, but KJHK general manager Andy Dierks expressed caution in choosing words, Cornwell said.
"We still have to follow FCC regulations, while making sure not to offend listeners." Cornwell said.
said.
Although the show discusses such activities as cunnilingus (oral stimulation of the clitoris or vulva), the hosts take caution in their vocabulary.
"We use medical terms instead of slang," Beck said. "The word penis is acceptable on air."

Keep it PG-13 until after marriage
TUESDAY,
Various religions encourage different forms of courting
By KATE Moyer
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSA CORRESPONDENT
When Erik Fish, campus director of Victory Campus Ministries, hears the term "courtship," he thinks of a picture-perfect scene between a man and a woman. They sip lemonade on a porch swing after an ice cream social, take hold of each other's hands, and realize that they have found "The One."
Courting may seem old-fashioned to many, but to others, courtship is a way to find a life partner that is guided by religion, and various religions at that. There are versions of courting in denominations of Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths.

of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim life.
Put simply, courtship is dating with a purpose. It is commitment before intimacy instead of intimacy before commitment. For a Christian couple, the goal is to get to know each other on a personal level and to seek God's will for marriage.

in the middle getting married. But it is not an engagement and stops short of becoming sexually active," said Fish. He and his wife, Jen, were friends for more than a year before they prayerfully decided to enter into a courtship. Fish said that this enabled them to get to know each other without becoming
romantically involved.
This may be an approach that people see as limited to fundamental Christianity. However, Fish stipulated that courting is not just helpful for a Christian relationship, but can be applied to anyone's love life, or lack thereof. He said that it helps people develop a friendship and assess if they want to get married. Courtship aids in separating a serious commitment from deep romantic feelings that sexual intimacy brings.
romantically involved.
It is also practiced in Catholicism, said Brian Donelson, director of the Marriage Preparation programs at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center. The main focus in a relationship should be holiness and maturity instead of on courting, Donelson said.
"A couple should consider whether or not they will be able to bring each other love in life, to holiness," he said. Donelson said that a Catholic could date someone with a different religious background for the purpose of considering marriage, but they must consider this as an additional challenge in their future as a married couple.
a married couple.
Different religions have different views on how dating should be approached. For example, Jay Lewis, executive director of the KU Hillel Foundation, explained that in Judaism, there is a huge emphasis on family. Dating, he said, is a process of finding out if this is the right partner in building a strong Jewish family. So ideally, a Jew would only date other Jews. Realistically though, he said, every person you date is a lesson learned, and the mistakes you make in your relationships now are leading you closer to that person who compliments you perfectly – your "besheret". (Besheret is a Yiddish word and a Jewish belief meaning meant to be, or soul mate.)
to be, or soul mate?)
Those of the Islamic faith have a different outlook on the dating scene. Asma Rehman, Kansas City, Mo., senior and an active member of the Muslim Student Organization, explained that in Islam there really is no such thing as "dating." "Dating" is viewed as getting to know someone for the purpose of marriage. There is more of a public and family setting, which is different from traditional courtship. Parents are always involved and their advice is highly valued. The best principle in seeking a life partner, Rehman said, is to seek someone based on his religiousness. Although she is waiting to consider marriage until she finishes her education, Rehman will marry another Muslim when the time comes. One main teaching in Islam is that a premarital relationship of any kind between members of the opposite sex is forbidden.
It could be argued that most religious teachings put some value on the practice of courtship. It is such a widely misused and misunderstood term, yet an essential principle in many couples' relationships.

Dear Captain RibMan,
I have been with this one guy for 5 1/2 months now and I love him very much he is everything to me and he makes me very happy. But about 3 months ago, I met this guy online and he is the sweetest thing ever and he makes me happy. I think I am beginning to fall in love with him and he is wanting me to choose only one guy. I don't know what to do. I'm confused and don't know what to do. I love them both and can only have one. Can you help me out with some ideas of what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks

Dear Blondie,
give me a request a lot. (I think it is a glitch in my darned mail program.) You have been with one guy for 5.5 months and online with another guy you’ve never made contact in 3 months. Why would you stick with the older, tired relationship if you have a chance to meet them? Remember, the grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side of the fence—so jump over that fence! Go to theGreenergrass! The idiot who now is dead or grabs the new guy is plush Zyssia. Don't be a fool and stay on the dumb side of the fence.
Good luck!

Cole Smart is finally retiring his Spongeebob Squarepants boxer shorts.
Until the Topeka junior started dating his girlfriend three months ago, he had only himself to please when selecting his underwear. But all that has changed.
"I don't think she likes the Spongebob boxers," he said. "I'm going to donate them to my single roommates."
single roommates.
Smart joined the ranks of University of Kansas students who have definite preferences when it comes to their undergarments. Whether they choose boxers or briefs, bikinis or thongs, students find that the right pair of underwear can match their mood, express their style, or make them feel sexy, even when no one else knows what is underneath their jeans.
From skimpy thongs to rump-engulfing 'granny panties', the choices for women are vast.
the choices for Hannah Alldritt, Harper freshman, shops for underwear at Victoria's Secret.
at Victoria's Sec. "They have to be comfortable, but I'll only buy them if they're cute," Aldritt said of her underwear.
A new pair of tie-dyed bikinis and one with two colors of strings were among her current favorites.
According to Lawrence retailers, most KU women are like Alldritt, valuing fun and comfort most in lingerie.
Boy shorts are the latest trend that fit both of these criteria, according to Shannon Maloney, sales associate at Soap Momma, 735 Mass. St. Despite the name, the style can be just as feminine as thongs and bikinis. The store stocks lace boy shorts in a variety of colors for $10 per pair. Sportier boy shorts in a stretch material go for $5 per pair.
At Target, 3201 Iowa St. boy shorts and thongs in bright colors are selling well among college-aged women. The store offers underwear in bright pinks and turquoises, featuring familiar cartoon characters like Tinkerbell and
Hello Kitty. A set of two pairs usually costs $7.99. Most of the store's playful underwear comes in the 'hipster' style similar to men's briefs. Target also stocks form-fitting camisoles that coordinate with panties and matching tank tops and short sets.

"People tend to go for the stretchy material," Bartrez said.

an example.
Urban Outfitters, 1013 Mass. St., also offers the hipster style in a variety of prints, colors, and motifs. Briefs in bold colors with waistbands in contrasting colors sell for $8 per pair. In addition to characters from "School House Rock" and an assortment of fruit, the store also features briefs with edgier themes. A red pair of low-rider panties with black trim reads, "Boys wanted, inquire within." While most of its offerings are more sporty than sexy, the store also sells a selection of thongs and lacy panties, like a black thong trimmed with white lace — think a French maid's uniform, but skimpier — and a bra to match.
"There's definitely a time when
they're looking at stuff they want to be seen."

While Maloney said most of her customers at Soap Momma bought underwear to suit their own tastes, when they do buy pricier underwear it is usually with someone else in mind.

be supervised. Although some underwear is bought to show off, KU women are careful to keep their underwear out of sight in most situations.
Thongs protect against panty lines showing up underneath tight pants and skirts. But they, too, can make an unwelcome appearance in certain situations.
I think it's trashy when you
see girls working out with thong panties," said Megan Wahl, Tulsa, Okla., junior. "It's tacky when you see a girl's thong hanging out of her pants."
hanging out to Lawrence retailers, the complex world of women's underwear isn't just for women. J.C. Penney has regular male customers who buy women's lingerie for themselves. And boyfriends of college women also try their hands at picking out intimate apparel for their girlfriends.
Maloney said her male customers are well-educated when they come in looking for gifts. Many are well-acquainted with their girlfriends' favorite brands and styles.
When it comes to buying underwear for themselves, men have fewer options, the choice doesn't always boil down to boxers or briefs. There are also the hybrid boxer-briefs, the inspiration of women's boy shorts.

Since ditching Spongebob, Smart has sprung for a few pairs of these in different colors. But, he admits, it takes more than style to make underwear sexy. Hygiene also helps.
"Now that I have a girlfriend, I have to change them once a day." Smart said.

Sexual pleasure can come from unusual sources
BY KATIE MOYER
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The question isn't always who is the object of your affection, but sometimes, what it is.
Sometimes a blow-up doll, a "used" leopard print G-string or other inanimate objects, is how people could get off.
Blow-up doll lovers may have fetishism, one of eight abnormal sexual disorders, or paraphyllas, identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Someone with a paraphilia frequently achieves arousal that is associated with one of three major symptoms: nonhuman objects, suffering or humiliation or non-consenting individuals.
individuals. David Holmes, professor of abnormal psychology, said that reports of paraphilias are relatively rare, but it is believed that they are actually quite common. This is assumed partly because there are hundreds of catalogs and Web sites containing paraphiliac paraphernalia. EBay is one Web site that has had problems and has had to enforce new regulations against auctioning used undergarmets.
The most common nonhuman objects used to obtain arousal in fetishism are articles of women's clothing such as bras, panties, shoes and socks. Fetishists will often fondle, kiss or smell the objects for sexual stimulation. The individual's sexual partner is involved in some cases and will wear the fetish object of choice during sexual encounters. This way, the fetishist is enabled to participate in otherwise normal sexual behavior while still being provided
with an arousing stimulus
an abusing This disorder is not diagnosed when an individual gains sexual pleasure from objects that are designed to stimulate sexual arousal, like vibrators.
Another type of paraphilia is exhibitionism, which involves having fantasies about or actually exposing the genitals to a stranger in order to achieve sexual arousal. Commonly known as "the flasher," the classic example of an exhibitionist is a man who suddenly exposes his goods to an unsuspecting woman.
Frotteurism is a lesser known paraphilia in which sexual arousal is obtained by rubbing against or touching a non-consenting individual. The thrill of the rub usually takes place in crowded public areas or on public transportation where bumping into someone is no big deal, such as the campus buses. While the person being bumped is thinking some jerk should watch where they're going, they're having a circus in their pants. In more blatant cases, a man might rub his package against a woman's thighs or butt. Sometimes a frotteurist will even fondle a woman and then take off when she realizes what's going on.
A paraphilia limited to male heterosexuals is transvestic fetishism. These males gain sexual pleasure from dressing in women's clothing, often referred to as cross-dressing. A transvestic fetishist will masturbate while dressed in women's clothes and may fantasize about other men being attracted to him.
Those who have binoculars in order to get a good look at the hottie undressing in the apartment across the street may have a paraphilia
called voyeurism. A voyeur gains sexual pleasure from observing an unsuspecting individual who is naked, undressing or engaging in sexual activity. Those with voyeurism are supported by an industry that supplies them with pornographic magazines and movies. Viewing for sexual pleasure is often an important component of normal sexual behavior and it is considered a disorder only if it results in distress for the viewer.
Sexual masochists derive pleasure from being abused or from suffering. This can be verbal and involve humiliation, but it is usually physical and involves beaten, bound or tortured. On the other hand, sexual sadists are individuals who are pleased by abusing their partners during sexual activity.
sexual activity.
It seems there is a paraphilia for just about anything strange or disgusting. For example, formicophila is an obsession with small creatures and beastality is when someone has sex with animals. Some other odd disorders: urophilia, a fetish with urine; coprophilia, feces; and vomerophilia, vomit. A necrophilic enjoys having sex with corpses, a gerontophilic with elderly people and an acrotomophilic with amputated people.
There is no effective treatment for paraphilias. But because many paraphiliacs are secretive in their unusual fantasies or behavior, treatment isn't something that is highly sought after. And as long as their actions aren't hurting anyone, Holmes said that paraphiiliacs should be able to practice their desired sexual behaviors as they wish, however abnormal they may be.

0. My boyfriend and I are very affectionate with each other, but when I'm around other attractive guys, I downplay the PDA. Why is this? —Layla, sophomore
Chris: You want other guys to still find you attractive and available, and making out with another guy dampens both qualities.
Jessi: More than likely, you're afraid of shoving your un-singleness down their throats, which is respectable. On the other hand, you might have hidden motives like not wanting them to think you're completely committed to your honey. Do what makes you comfortable within reason. Hand holding is precious. Pecking is fine. Screwing on Wescoe beach is not hot.
0. I'm 6 ft., 145 lbs, and my longtime girlfriend constantly calls me "skinny". It's starting to wear on my self-esteem. I try working out, but can't build muscle. What can I do? — Jonathan, junior
Jessi: Everyone can attest to the fact that calling a guy skinny is the equivalent to calling a girl fat. Her comments are unacceptable, and you need to let her know they're wearing on you. If she fails to change her ways, assess your priorities and figure what's more important to you.
your self-respect, or your weekly lay
Chris: I'm not sure what the root problem in your question is. If you're wanting to know how to gain lean muscle, eat meat and do push-ups. If you're upset about the name-calling, just tell her to stop. And remember, being skinny makes your penis look bigger. Seriously.
Q. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and one of my quirks is that I have to wash myself after every sexual act. My boyfriend thinks it's because I think he's dirty and it offends him. What should I do? — Amy, Sophomore
Jessi: I'm assuming he knows of your disorder, but if not, explain to him that everyone has strange idiosyncrasies, and yours happens to be cleanliness.
Chris: I have some weird quirks as well. I like my shirts to be hung according to color. But if my closet attendant doesn't hang up my shirts correctly and I haven't explained to him that I like my gray shirts separate from my white shirts, then I'm truly the one to blame.

My friend Shawn was a regular renaissance woman.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I volunteered, despite the fact that I had no prior experience in the fields of telecommunications or adult entertainment. I had once dated a guy who was particularly fond of "aural sex" and I figured that rendered me a qualified candidate.
Three days later I arrived at Shawn's apartment for a brief training session before I took over for the evening. It was my first time over and I was amused just thinking about the debauchery that had certainly taken place within the confines of this unassuming, pre-war apartment with hardwood floors and crown molding. We sat down on her couch in front of the coffee table where she had set up my workstation: a cordless phone with caller ID, a stopwatch, a tape recorder "just in case," a credit card machine, credit card slips (I could only accept Visa or Mastercard) and a thick stack of girlie magazines for me to reference when I was asked what I looked like, what my measurements were, etc. She told me it was easier if I established my name, hair color and bust size ahead of time rather than on the fly, and also informed me that most callers preferred blondes. Ever the businesswoman, she informed me that all clients had to be pre-approved for fifty dollars before the call commenced and any calls lasting more than fifteen minutes had to be approved again for another fifty. She said that if for some reason the call went beyond thirty minutes (which almost never happened) they had to be approved again every fifteen minutes and that. The tricky part was

entering the card number, accurately without the client noticing a break in the action. If for some reason the card was declined I was to end the call as sweetly as possible because most clients tended to be repeat customers and she didn't want to offend anyone. She offered to do the first call so that I could listen and take notes, but an hour later the phone hadn't rung and Shawn had to get to her club gig. She assured me that I'd be fine and then she left me alone to deal with all potential pleasure-seekers.
Less than five minutes after Shawn walked out the door, a call came in. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was from a motel. I took a deep breath and answered in a register that was a good octave below my normal speaking voice. The caller immediately asked me if I was a "tranny" and informed me that he wasn't "into no freaks." Stifling a laugh I raised my voice slightly and informed him that I was "100 percent woman." He asked me what I looked like and I quickly answered that I was a blonde who sported a double-D cup size. This seemed to satisfy him and he gave me his Visa number. I ran it through and much to my surprise it was approved. I started the stopwatch and asked him what he liked. He told me that he liked it rough. In a more authoritative voice I demanded that he take his pants off. Suddenly he began speaking as if he were a child and begged me not to hurt him. I obliged his fantasy and told him that he'd better do what I say or he'd be very, very, very sorry. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do to make him that sorry but thankfully he didn't ask. We soon established a game of him begging me not to do stuff and me telling him that I was going to do it anyway. After about ten minutes he started to cry like a baby and pleaded with me not to pee on him. I felt my stomach turn over and paused for a moment. In the three days leading up to this moment I had rehearsed countless sexual scenarios in my head, all of which I considered to be utterly raunchy and not one of which had involved urine. Apparently I was far greener than I realized. In a panicked voice he asked if I was still there. I swallowed hard and told him that I was going to pee on him anyway. He started sobbing and implored me to stop, at which point I glanced down at my stopwatch and realized that it was time to recharge his card. I began frantically punching numbers into the credit card machine as he continued to cry. He asked again if I was there and I assured him that I was still peeing on him. The credit card machine beeped and told me to "contact card center." Shawn had failed to mention the contingency plan for this scenario and my figurative bladder was empty anyway. In the sweetest voice I could muster I informed my caller that his time was up and that I hoped he'd call again soon. He immediately returned to being the man who "didn't want no freaks" and I felt the blood return to my face. Evidently I had successfully managed to hide my incompetence in the urine department because he informed me that he'd enjoyed my company. He also said that he hoped that he got me when he called the next time he was in town, and did I by chance know of any good restaurants in his area that delivered.

Paris Hilton has said that it doesn't matter what a girl wears; if she's confident, then she's sexy. Whatever, Paris. She spends more money on clothing in a week than most college students spend on tuition in four years. Granted, confidence is sexy. It doesn't matter what a person wears, but rather it is the fabric of their soul that is the most important.
Blah, blah, blah. Forget the soul; Let's be shallow and talk about the fabric of a great miniskirt or hot, fitted button-down shirt.
shirt.
KU men said they liked to see legs exposed on women. But how do men prefer that these women showcase their legs? What do the men find sexy when it comes to clothing?
comes to clothing Michael Mehring, Tigard, Oregon junior, provided a list of what he thinks is sexy. "Miniskirts are nice, tube tops, bikini strap tank tops, chunky white heels, and short jean skirts." He's also quite fond of "schoolgirl outfits" and "white button-down blouses that show the midriff."
Landon Vermillion, Wichita senior, likes short sundresses that show off a girl's arms and says "heels are always good with a sun dress."
andress with a pair of boots.
While the majority of men cited skirts and dresses as the pieces of clothing that they found to be the most sexy, there were a few who had opinions on how they'd like to see a woman's upper-body. Brian Downing, Overland Park freshman, likes tank tops that show off the midriff. "Gotta go with crop tops," said Dean Shutt, a Lawrence junior who prefers "baby doll shirts." Sorry guys, crop tops are no longer the fashion. "Things are being tailored a little longer. Shirts are a little bit longer," said Tess Bricker, a Kansas City, Kan., senior who
You're in luck, guys. Skirts are very hot this season. Kieu's Inc., 738 Mass. St., has many of the kerchief shirts that are a direct throwback from the eighties. You can spot women all over campus sporting these skirts with everything from T-shirts to tank tops, sneakers to flip-flops. However, Kieu Win, senior and store nameake, had some other ideas when it came to sexy fall looks. "What's new this season are the fitted pants or capris with stiletto heels. Or a tight-fitting sundress with a jean jacket."
works at the Arizona Trading Company on 734 Mass. St. "You don't see crop tops as often and I've found that interesting because people are starting to realize that you don't have to show as much skin to look really good."
Speaking of ladies, what is it that they find sexy in men's attire? Predictably, the women's answers focused more on the clothing itself and less on the body parts being accentuated. This season the focus is more on collars, of all things. Upon being asked what she thinks is sexy in men's attire, Delayna Shorter, Ulysses, Kan. sophomore said "Collared shirts, not flipped up — that's not hot."
that she not need Shawnee sophomore Whitney Novak likes polo shirts with the collar. "This is really silly but I like the shirts with the crocodile
like the shirts we wear — what are they called? Lacoste?" she asked with a giggle. However, she becomes a bit more serious when asked about collar preference. "I really dig the shirt with the collar down. Up looks like you're trying too hard. Down is natural and I think it's hot."
Jasmine Lee, Fort Worth, Texas, senior, is more interested in how the shirt is maintained rather than the style and says "long or short sleeve doesn't matter, but it needs to be ironed. Don't be afraid to iron." This year men may be paying a bit more attention to their necks and perhaps calling their moms for advice on starch.
starch.
While jeans will never go out, there are some startling new trends in denim for men this fall. "We actually made jeans this year that fit like the girls' jeans," saad Hayden Fowler, a manager at The Buckle, 805 Mass. St. "Men want a more fitted jean, they want a lower rise, and they want a little bit of flare. Stylewise that's what's happening now."
All right, style hawks, now that you've got the goods, there's no more playing the ignorance card when it comes to what you're wearing. And as regrettable as it is to assign validity to anything that Paris Hilton might say, confidence really is the bottom line when it comes to what's sexy.

Proven tips and tricks for the morning-after trip home
BY DENA NEURSERVANNEN
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Futon, bed, couch or floor, random hook-up or friendly sleepover, it is a fact: the morning after a night of romance can mean facing the dreaded "walk of shame." To ease the pain of this unfortunate college ritual, seasoned veterans share their tricks of the trade on how to survive common morning-after dilemmas.
1. Teeth and Breath
Morning breath. This particular hygiene predicament is not only offensive to others, but is personally unpleasant as well. If you find yourself in this predicament often, you may want to carry a toothbrush or gum in your purse or jean-pocket. Otherwise, borrow toothpaste from your host. Put a dab on your finger and rub it all over your teeth and gums, rinse and repeat.
Guys: Unless you went out in something really dressy, you shouldn't have a problem wearing those clothes home. If she stayed at your place, though, and wore something of yours home, Chad Reynolds, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore warns, "Make sure you get your clothes back."
2. Clothing
Gals: Nothing says, "I haven't been home" like salacious clothing on a sunny morning. Try to dress-down whatever you wore; you could borrow a T-shirt to cover that tiny tube-top or some shoes to replace your heels.
Both: Clothes can be the biggest morning after giveaway, so make sure you wear yours correctly — shirts on forward and right-side-out, buttons buttoned and flies zipped.
and pull it back. For short hair, use a little water and style it with your fingers. Be sure to check the back, too.
Gals: "Definitely put your hair in a ponytail!" Rachel Peart, Overland Park junior, said. Borrow a brush, or use your own if you brought one, and remember that water can calm fly-aways. If you don't have a ponytail holder, Jade Martens, Salina sophomore, suggested you steal a rubber band from the desk. It may not be fashionable, but it gets the job done.
4. Face
Guys: Just wash it.
Gats: "Take off your eye-makeup," Jayme Shilkrot, Minneapolis, Minn. senior advised. Wet a tissue or some toilet paper to remove the smeared make-up from around your eyes. Don't rub too hard, though, red and swollen skin will attract more attention to the area.
This is a difficult situation and should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
imated on a case-by-case Whether you thank the host, give them your digits or sneak out before they wake up, consider the consequences first. If you have class together, live in the same area or will run into each other on campus, sneaking out early will probably lead to more awkwardness and should be avoided.
5. The awkwardness
When used correctly, these steps should enable you to turn the "walk of shame" into a walk of pride, or at worst a walk of mild embarrassment. Still nervous or dreading that inevitable trek? "Walk with pride," Peart said. "For all they know your car broke down." Or, click your heels and repeat J.P. Bornholt, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore's mantra three times: "There is no walk of shame," "There is no walk of shame," "There is no walk of shame."
Guys: If it's long, run a brush through it — Edited by Marissa Stephenson

Waxing is an increasingly-popular method of hair removal for men. At-home kits of cold or hot wax can be purchased at grocery or drug stores. While waxing is painful, the hair takes weeks longer to grow back than shaved hair.
Guys get groomed below the neck.

These days it isn't just the women who are heading to the salon for a quick brow wax. The time has come for men to let go of the low-maintenance lifestyle and embrace hair removal. This means shaving, waxing and even laser hair removal for the entire body. The fairer sex is no longer alone in its quest for hairless skin.
The most common method employed is shaving. While some men just stick to shaving the face, others go a little further. Some men shave their chest and arms in order to give their muscles more definition. Others embarrassed about unruly back or armpit hair will shave, or at the least trim.
the least time.
Another area that needs maintenance is the pubic region. A number of males shave their testicles, usually for sex purposes, or at their girlfriends/wives' request. Jennifer Garrett, general manager Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., said sometimes guys come in talking about shaving.
about saying that.
"They say it feels cool during sex if she is (shaved) too." Garrett said that men felt the lack of hair was also a confidence booster and could "add two inches" to the appearance of the penis. When her ex-boyfriend decided one day to shave his pubic area she was a bit surprised, but not upset. She said it was nice when a guy shaved. When performing oral sex, "you don't choke on hairs," she said.
Shaving may be the most popular and the least expensive method of hair removal, but it definitely has its drawbacks. Ingrown hairs or razor burn are common. Other problems with shaving are cuts and the quick rate that the hair grows back.
The good news is, there another way to remove the fuzz, the bad news is it can hurt like hell. Having hot wax poured over the body, then, along with every hair follicle it covers, ripped off seconds later, costs $35 a pop on average.
The most commonly waxed areas for men are eyebrows, shoulders, back and chest. While each salon varies in specifics, almost all offer some service for male clients. Lyndsey
Cowman of Images Salon and Day Spa, 511 W. 9th St., said that she won't wax arms because it is too painful for the client. Her salon also has a policy of not waxing men below the waist. This was mostly due to the fact that, occasionally, some men will come in and ask for a Brazilian wax (removal of all hair from the bellybutton to the tailbone) just for the opportunity to drop their pants in front of a woman. Cowman said that these
males' inappropriate behavior was because of their desire for a cheap thrill.
While some salons will do a male bikini wax if asked, rarely will it be on the list of services. Moulin said that waxing is more common among international students who come from countries where waxing is cheaper. She also added that while waxing is costly, it is very effective, and more gentle to the skin than shaving, exfoliating each time, removing dead skin cells and preventing wrinkles. Moulin said that men have a lower pain tolerance than their female counterparts. And whereas when waxing women she can just chat about the day, with a man the conversation is more clinical as she has to talk them through the process.
through the process.
Men looking for a less painful, long term solution to hair removal look toward laser hair removal. This process includes using a laser to disable the hair follicle, preventing subsequent growth. Cindy Merrill, Certified Laser Specialist and owner of Permanent Cosmetics and Laser Center, said that around 40 percent of her clients are male and that number has increased greatly over the past few years.
"No longer do men follow the stereotype that hair equals masculinity, the two are not associated," Merril said.
The downside to this process is the cost.
One session runs around $400 and while it varies from person to person, multiple sessions are usually necessary.
But if shaving and waxing become too bothersome, that is the price one must pay for skin as smooth as a baby's bottom.
as smooth as a day's sleep Flip through the latest Cosmo or GQ and one thing you won't find on men is body hair. Men: Wake up and smell the wax.

Student Senate will vote on funds

Wireless Internet signals are popping up all over campus, and more areas may have access with Student Senate's help.
Student Senate will vote on a $45,000 bill tonight to help fund wireless Internet. The money Senate will allocate will fund the wireless Internet zones in social areas for students, such as Fraser lawn and Wescoe Beach.
The funds Senate allocates to wireless Internet also will help expedite the process, said Arthur Jones, student executive committee chair and an author of the bill.

as possible.
The funds that Senate would put toward wireless Internet is only a small percentage of the total cost. The cost of installation and maintenance for the first year would cost $250,000, said Marilu Goodyear, vice provost for Information Services. The cost will increase as more nodes, which project the signal, are installed to increase bandwidth and to add areas to the KU wireless zone.
Senate will partially fund the wireless Internet using its reserve account.
Jones said getting wireless Internet in Allen Fieldhouse was a priority. He said he wanted students who spent long hours camping for basketball games to be able to access the Internet.
Tom Roderick, student technology coordinator with KU information services, said Allen Fieldhouse was one of the most difficult places on campus to install wireless Internet because of its construction.

Goodyear said students could be assured that the University was not behind the curve as far as wireless Internet access compared to other schools.

Earlier this week, Spahr Engineering Library went wireless. Anschutz and Watson Libraries have open systems, meaning that any computer can access the wireless network, not just the libraries' laptops.
"We're in the middle of the pack in the Big 12," she said.
She said the University wanted the wireless network to be secure and open only to KU students, faculty and staff. She said campuses that set up wireless Internet earlier began having security problems. Because the University waited to install wireless Internet, she said the University avoided some costs and problems.

The system will be part of the the University's central system, so students can use their KU online IDs and passwords.

Tomorrow, volunteers in the Kansas Union will offer students whistles, local resource numbers and information cards on how to prevent sexual assault. National "Get Carded" day was started by the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, an organization that created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, 1-800-656-HOPE.
A reported rape in Lawrence last Monday created an even more urgent need to educate students on sexual assault and how to prevent it. "Get Carded" day, originally scheduled for next Thursday, Sept. 24, is being moved up to meet this need.

Casey Connealy, box office manager for Student Union Activities, said that Boyda would have lunch with students selected by the SUA at the Kansas Union at noon. She will then speak at Alderson Auditorium at 1 p.m. in an open forum for all members of the community.
Kathleen Daughey, president of the KU Young Democrats, said that every year the "Learning Through Leaders" program invited a leader to campus to discuss issues with students.
"I think Nancy is a wonderful choice," she said. "She'll be a great advocate for the issues that are important to students."
Boyda is the fourth person to be a part of the forum, and the first person this semester, he said.

Four bodies found in Parsons, part of six unrelated deaths
PARSONS, Kan. — Authorities investigated Tuesday the deaths of six people in three unrelated incidents across Kansas, including the slayings of four people whose bodies were found in a Parsons apartment.
A soldier from Fort Riley was also
killed during a shooting at a rural residence west of the military installation. Authorities released few details about the six deaths, an apparent homicide in the town of Elkhart in extreme southwest Kansas.
The Parsons investigation started Tuesday morning after police went to an apartment to check on an employee who failed to show up for work and discovered four bodies and an unharmed baby inside. The child was taken to the Labette County Medical Center for observation.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation spokesman Kyle Smith said the agency is assisting local authorities with the investigation.

Thanks in part to Chi Omega, 7-year-old Elora's wish will come true. The chapter will hold fundraising activities throughout the week to help send her family to Disney World.
Elora was born with a rare bone condition called condri/Hyndrone syndrome which causes scoliosis, dwarfism, partial deafness, cataracts and bald spots among others, her mother, Amy, said. She said the syndrome affected about one out of 100,000 people, and males with the syndrome were still-born. Because of privacy reasons, her last name will not be released.
Chi Omega plans to turn its fountain into a wishing well today in honor of Elora and its national philanthropy, Make-A-Wish.

As of yesterday afternoon, the sorority had raised more than $3,500 toward its $7,000 goal. Fundraising activities began on Saturday when women from Chi Omega worked as car hops at Sonic. All tips went toward Elora's Make-A-Wish fund.
Elora became eligible for the Make-A-Wish Foundation earlier
this year, her mother said. The family, LeCompton residents, will travel to Florida in November.
"I don't think she knows exactly what this involves," Amy said. "But she's excited to ride on a plane and get to be in the parades every day."
When children are deemed eligible for a wish, they concentrate on the wish rather than their illness, said Celia Cayless, director of development for Make-A-Wish.
"Once that happens," Cayless said, "health seems to get better."

Elora had her life saved once already by Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis, Amy said. Doctors performed three surgeries on Elora's curved spine.
Elora will wear a back brace
for another year and a half,but her condition has improved, her mother said.

Surf language Web sites,fo' shizzle
The time has come to look at language through a powerful yet entertaining lens: the Internet.
Language experts and novices alike make their Web presence known by building Web sites that manage language in ways that conventional dictionaries cannot. Rather than merely analyzing the content of such sites and reporting our results, we decided that it would be more enjoyable to share a few language Web site highlights and let readers explore on their own.
Apostrophe Protection Society www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk/index.htm m
Grammar police of the world, unite! Faced with relentless apostrophe catastrophes such as "banana's for sale" and "wedding dresses", the APS aims to educate the public about the proper use of this much maligned punctuation mark. It also provides many amusing examples of real life apostrophe abuse.

Fun with dialects http://hcs.harvard.edu/~golder/dialect/maps.php
LANGUAGE RULES!
The KU Writing Center's Web site has information on how to write for a specific class, such as, "Chemistry: Writing Lab Reports," and how to put together personal statements for applications to graduate programs. In addition to the abundance of how-to articles, the site lists services provided by the Writing Center. Features include "Ask the Grammar Guru," where answers will be sent by e-mail within 24 hours every weekday.

dialects. With 122 different sections, Web site visitors can discover geographic preferences toward certain linguistic choices. For example, item number 44 asks if "cream cheese" should be pronounced "CREAM cheese" with an emphasis on first word or "cream CHEESE" with an emphasis on second word.
Ask Snoop www.asksnoop.com
Oh, the wonders of asksnoop.com! It translates — nay, it shizzolates — Web sites from English to the vernacular of Snoop Dogg himself, know what I'm sayin'. This fake English dialect of Izzle, though debatably demeaning and stereotypical, provides much entertainment. The written manifestation of this dialect, a primarily spoken English, is inherently ridiculous. Plus, when it occurs in unexpected situations, like, for instance, on the KU homepage, Izzle is hilarious.
Spy on Words Wordspy.com
Ever wondered the first time the phrase "freshman 15" was used in print, or what it means? Look no further than wordspy.com, a casual Web site that calls its task of seeking out new words and phrases in the English language lexpionage. Among its most popular
entries are "google bombing," "extreme ironing" and "furkid." Confused? Surf for yourself.
Onelook Dictionary Search www.onelook.com
Onelook is quite possibly the coolest dictionary Web site ever. It doesn't replace the traditional dictionary, but augments its function: Why search one dictionary when you can search 900 at the same time? With six million words indexed from more than 900 dictionaries, Onelook provides quick definitions, examples and translations with links to online dictionaries for more information. The Web site is incredibly user-friendly, too.
Urban Dictionary www.urbandictionary.com
Equipped to eliminate visitors' embarrassing moments for not knowing slang, Urban Dictionary doesn't operate by a one-definition standard. Anyone who wants to submit a definition can, leaving readers with a well-rounded view of a word's meaning. This Web site is extremely dynamic. A recent visit showed more than 500 submissions in one day. One contributor defines Urban Dictionary itself as, "A site that is pretty useful to temporarily alleviate boredom at 3 a.m." Just keep in mind that the open nature of the Web site leads to some questionable content. Some people are too bored at 3 a.m.

bentuor. While there are some bisexuals who may possess the above stated attributes, I think part of that can be attributed to the general populace's pressure upon them and lack of acceptance.
Does society itself create the problems we hate so much? Maybe. We, the non-bisexual populace, need to have a bit more understanding. We cannot judge them as a population.
And while the bisexuals may not be making any big push for rights or recognition, they are the sexual underclass.
There are no good estimates on how many bisexuals there are, who they are and how to identify them. There might be one sitting next to you and your comments on how bisexuals are misguided and greedy may only keep them from fulfilling their own fantasies. I guess the feel good, after-school-special moral of this story is simply this: Be good to other people.

"Based on circumstances leading up to the event, she may feel as if she somehow agreed to the behavior," Rose-Mockry said.
Agreeing to some amount of physical involvement does not indicate an agreement to sex, Rose-Mockry said.
Rose-Mocky said. Sergeant Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department responded to the rape by issuing advice for students.
Always be aware of your surroundings, especially when alcohol is involved, Ward said. Never leave a bar alone, walk home or take a ride with strangers.
He said it was also important to keep doors and windows of houses and cars locked securely

A rape victim must report the assault within the first 72 hours and file a police report. If a victim does not want the presence of police or is unwilling to file a report, an examination will still take place to care for the victim's injuries. Both Watkins Memorial Health Center, east of Robinson Center, and Lawrence Memorial Hospital, 325 Maine St., provide the examinations.

"Regardless of how a woman deals with a rape situation, she should never be blamed," Rose-Mockry said.

The Jayhawks lost 1-0 in a game that featured two high-performing defenses.
After the Jayhawks broke into the top 10 of all four major polls and senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller received her second Big 12 Player of the Week award this season, Kansas went into Champaign, Ill., with high expectations. But the Jayhawks were unable to attain an offensive rhythm.

"I though that we played okay," said
girls got loose and was killed. Despite the one goal, Miller had a season-high eight saves in the match. It was the defense of Illinois, however, that suffocated the Kansas offense and held them scoreless. The Illini led the Jayhawks to just eight shots, while attempting 14 of their own. Junior forward Caroline Smith led the Jayhawks in shots with two. Hurlless led the Illini with four.
"It was a tough game," Francis said. "I thought they played really tight on defense, especially in the second half, and we were not able to get any offensive pressure. We will just have to see how we respond after this."
Kansas will face Mississippi, which is 4-2 after a victory over Arkansas-Little Rock, at 5 p.m. this Friday at the Jayhawk Sports Complex.

Getting a chance to play in the major leagues is every baseball player's dream. Kansas junior outfielder A.J. Van Slyke might be just a few months away from seeing that dream start to become reality.
Van Slyke recently finished his best season on a baseball diamond. He played in a wooden bat league in Illinois over the summer and led the league in seven offensive categories. He hit .400 with nine home runs and was voted the league's most valuable player. He was also named to the summer all-America team by Baseball America.
America team by Baskin. Van Slyke played his first season at Kansas last year. He graduated in 2002 from John Burroughs High School in St. Louis, but spent his first year of college baseball at Liberty College, a small division I school in Virginia.
"I had a few other choices coming out of high school, but I was worried that I would go into a program where I would have to wait a year or two to play," Van Slyke said. "I wanted to play right away, and with Liberty, I got to do that."
calls to schools in the Midwest. Among those he called were Missouri, Kansas State and Kansas.
Van Slyke started 30 games as a freshman in spring 2003, but he became unhappy with the situation in Virginia and began exploring his options of transferring.
"I had some disagreements with the head coach, and I really wanted a chance to come home and play closer to home so my dad would get to see me play," he said. "I also wanted the chance to play in a better conference like the Big 12, and I felt like I was ready to make that jump."
"I called and said, 'Hi my name is A.J., and I'm just looking for a place to play baseball. I'm a sophomore. Here's my transcripts. I'm not looking for anything. I just want the chance to walk on.'" he said.
Van Slyke returned to St. Louis last December and began making phone
Kansas Head Coach Ritch Price was the only coach to show any interest in the outfielder. After a few conversations, Van Slyke was headed for Lawrence.
"What impressed me was that he called himself," Price said. "If his dad would have called, or a scout, I don't think I would have taken him. The fact that he did everything himself really impressed me."
Unlike other college athletes, baseball players don't necessarily have to sit out a year when they transfer to another school. College baseball has a one-time transfer rule that a player can transfer to another college and be immediately eligible to play as long as the two schools are not in the same conference.
That rule allowed Van Slyke to play last season with the Jayhawks. He had to sit out the first 10 games before his transfer became official, but he worked his way into the starting lineup by the end of the year. As a walk-on, he hit .360 with three doubles and two home runs. He struck out only seven times in 75 at-bats.
Price said that allowing Van Slyke to join the team was the best decision he had made while coaching the jayhawks.

this season.
That man, senior strong safety Tony Stubbs, plays football for Kansas. In addition to the tackles, he has one interception.
Stubbs, recruited out of Lake Worth, Fla., is in his second season as a starter with the Kansas defense. The only returning member of the secondary, he now leads a group that has helped push Kansas' defense to number two in the Big 12.
While some would think that a safety leading a team and a conference in tackles was indicative of a weak defensive line, coach Mark Mangino said this was not the case.
Stubbs has taken a surreptitious route to his current position as the starting strong safety.
Mangino said, "If our strong safety is making tackles, it's because he has a gap responsibility in our defense," Mangino said.

The Kangaroos' finesse style provided the aggressive Jayhawks with a steep challenge, but senior libero Jill Dorsey said the level of competition didn't surprise her.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The No. 24 Kansas volleyball team swept the unranked UMKC last night, but it wasn't quite what the Jayhawks had in mind.
UMKC always gives us their best effort," Dorsey said. "They're always going to play their best when the Jayhawks come to town."
In the opener, Kansas started slowly, trailing 16-17 just past the game's midpoint. Junior middle blocker Josi Lima took control with a kill and two consecutive block assists to give the Jayhawks a 20-17 advantage. Freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown ended the set with an ace that grazed the net and dropped over.
Despite the challenge, the Jayhawks won 30-22, 30-19, 34-32.
In game two, the Jayhawks' strength and athleticism took over.
"The first ball we hit, I think we kind of got their attention, then they were kind of on their heels," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard.
The Jayhawks attacked with a .533 percentage in the game. Bechard said the team's goal was to hit .270 every match; they would finish the night at .333.

--game at 30. The teams again traded points until the score was tied at 32. Then senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels stepped up for Kansas and ended the match with two consecutive kills.
For the first two sets, neither team performed well defensively. UMKC had only 20 team digs during the span and Kansas had 24.
In the final game, the defenses awoke as rallies lasted minutes at a time. The Jayhawks had 22 digs in game three alone while the Kangaroos had 31.
Bechard said he knew UMKC would play better after losing the first two games.
The Kangaroos fell behind early in the third game, trailing 11-15 at one point, but fought back with some help from outside hitter Vanessa Portella's jump serve. They led 19-17.
UMKC had 20 kills in the finale, compared to 22 in the first two sets combined.
Jayhawk outside hitter Lindsey Morris had two kills to tie the game 20-20. The teams continued to trade blows and were far from finished when the Jayhawks led 29-27.
Jaynawks led 29-7. UMKC responded with a couple good serves; Kangaroos middle blocker Sarah Johnson reeled off three straight points, giving her team the advantage. She hit her next serve just a little too far. It went out of bounds and tied the game at 30.

Resisting the tech temptation
It's easy to get behind technological advances when it comes to medicines, transportation and other modern conveniences. But as a sports fan, I'd like to see sports take the less-is-more approach when it comes to technology.
Sports fans got an earful about HDTV when ESPN was promoting its arrival. All of a sudden, it became "the way" to watch sports.
technology Standing in a crowd of at least 40,000 in Memorial Stadium last Saturday, I wondered if this environment could ever be replaced by technological "improvements" like highdefinition television (HDTV) and online game coverage.
"the way" to watch sports.
According to ESPN.com, HDTV "closely resembles the human field of vision." Because of this, viewers are able to see more of the action. The cost of becoming HDTV-compatible can surge to more than a few thousand dollars, but the advantage of simply turning on the TV and being surrounded by the essence of Yankee Stadium or Arrowhead may just be worth it to some.
worth it to someone.
Going the Internet route can be easier and cheaper. Whether your favorite sport is horse racing or baseball, 24/7 online coverage of the event is at your fingertips. Nearly every league, sport and team has its own Web site, each containing updates, analysis and video coverage.
Even Jayhawk fans can get in on the action without going to the game. Jayhawk Total Access, part of www.kuathletics.com, is an online subscription service that gives fans exactly what they'd expect complete access to all Kansas sports through an archive of broadcasts.
All these technologies present appealing alternatives to actually attending games, but I would like to think that there is no comparison between being at the game and watching it on TV.
watching it on TV. The sad truth, however, is that HDTV and Internet coverage may be the only way fans can afford to be fans.
Although our Kansas City Royals are on the bottom side of terrible, game tickets still cost between $7 and $25, not to mention parking, food and transportation costs.
Single ticket Even at Kansas, the $125 All Sports Combo ticket package is quite a deal for students to attend games, but not quite as good as $6.95 a month to catch the events online.
and transportation.
It's the same story with the Chiefs,
albeit an even more expensive one.
Single tickets range from $59 to $80.
I am not an advocate for fans staying at home to catch the game. I believe in the magic that going to the ballpark entails, but traveling to games will probably become more of a hassle and expense than simply watching high-tech, lifelike broadcasts.
The smells, sounds and energy of the real deal simply cannot be duplicated. But enjoying what used to be a magical experience may soon be a thing of the past. Unless you live close to the venue or are on the "fans with luck and money" list, these advances in technology may end up being your lifeline as a sports fan.
being your inimitable to make every game. It's impossible to make finances just won't permit it. But what I would like to see is a few more people opting to buy a few tickets rather than enjoy the game by the solitary glow of their computer screens. It may not attract a crowd to your living rooms like a killer HDTV system, but being with the crowd in the stadium will be worth it.

In the early days of this year's fall practices, Van Slyke has been working as the starting right fielder. During fall workouts, players lift weights and run four days a week and hit and work on defensive drills three days a week. NCAA regulations allow just four players to participate in workouts at the same time. The team begins a fall season of intrasquad games on Oct. 1.
Van Slyke said he was pleased with how his decision to change schools has worked out.
"KU is an awesome place to play baseball," he said. "It's the best place in the country."
The name Van Slyke may be familiar to baseball fans — Van Slyke's father, Andy, played 13 seasons in the major leagues, primarily with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He won five Gold Gloves and was a three-time All-Star selection.

"I know it gave him an advantage," the elder Van Slyke said. "He's done laundry. He's cleaned up around players. He has seen the routine that players go through. It's no secret why scouts like guys whose dads played in the big leagues."
The younger Van Slyke said there are pluses and minuses about having a dad who was a major leaguer.

"If he has a really good junior year, it would be irresponsible for at least one major league organization not to take a chance on him," Van Slyke said. "To me, the biggest question an organization in has evaluating a hitter is can he hit with a wood bat, and he's proven that he can do that [in the Illinois summer league]."
Draft day might be a big event at the Van Slyke house next June.
Scott Van Slyke, A.J.'s brother, is a high school senior and is expected to be selected in the draft as well. If that happens, it may be only the second time in the history of the draft that two brothers who were not twins were selected in the same year.
"That would be very special," Van Slyke said. "My brother has a high probability of being drafted out of high school, and there is a chance that I might get to go this year. If we both get drafted, it would just be awesome."

Even Stubbs had no idea what that designation meant.

Talking to Stubbs, he exudes the quiet confidence of someone who thinks that all is going well. With the improvement of the defense from last year to this year, it's easy to understand why he feels that way. He also possesses an uncanny football intelligence, another

"He's smart, one of the smartest guys I've ever been around on the football field," Baines said.

Today's Birthday (Sept. 15). You push yourself hard this year, but that's because you know you can be the best. Somebody has to do it, and you'll be paid well for it, too.
Household responsibilities demand more of your attention. If you haven't cleaned up your place in a while, better do it before something gets you.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 6.
The light at the end of the tunnel should be visible by now. A friend is waiting to celebrate with you, so don't give up. Make a date for some rest and relaxation. It's important.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8.
More work's coming in, so it looks like your mini-vacation is over. Actually, the workload is only intense for the next couple of days. The love lasts a whole lot longer.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8.
Something new has captured your interest. It's a skill, project or game. You won't be satisfied until you know all about it, so dig in!
All of a sudden, dreams begin to look achievable again. A project that seemed impossible is falling into place. You're building something you can relax upon, and that is a worthwhile effort.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22) Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You've been thinking about something that you want for yourself or your home. You have enough money in your pocket, and now you also have permission.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6.
You should have things pretty well wrapped up by now, allowing more time for significant and esoteric conversations. Make a date.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Although you're usually decisive, there are a couple of things you haven't made up your mind
about. Give them a couple of days.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 7.
You're almost past the most difficult part, but don't relax your guard quite yet. You're getting some reinforcements, and that will make your job easier.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8.
Your curiosity is leading you closer to the top. Without even meaning to do it, you may be asked to assume more responsibility. It's natural.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 5.
You'll poke your head out of the trees soon, and you'll be able to see the whole forest. You're climbing up out of your rut, you know. You're about to make great discoveries.
Plices (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
It's time to invest in something that brings joy into your home. It could be flowers or a new CD of beautiful, relaxing music. It doesn't need to be costly, but, of course, it can be. A Rembrandt would be nice, too.

Senate funds wireless Internet
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGUA
francovigia@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITER
Student Senate voted unanimously to pass the bill that will allocate $45,000 to wireless Internet on the University of Kansas campus.
- The bill passed two of the Student Senate committees last week, and full Senate voted to finalize the bill last night. The funds Senate will allocate to wireless Internet are only about 20 percent of the total cost the University will pay to go wireless. The rest of the funding will come from the state and
from tuition. So far, wireless Internet has cost about $250,000, but the cost grows daily as more nodes, which send out the wireless signal, are placed around campus.
around campus.
Cost will depend on the number of departments that want access to wireless.
"For those students who think Student Senate doesn't do anything for them," said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, "this is a tangible benefit they're going to be able to use for years to come."
The funds to pay for going wireless will come out of Senate's reserve
account, which has about $550,000. This money is reserved for projects that will have long term benefits for the majority of the student body. Senate will only allocate funds to wireless Internet this year for the initial costs, but the University will be the sole source of funds.
Ryan Faulconer, finance committee chain, said the money that Senate would allocate to this is a worthy use of the reserve account.
reserve account. In the planning stages to go wireless, KU Information Services asked Student Senate which campus areas would be most beneficial to students.
A bill to fund $580 for the KU Juggling Club passed.
The $45,000 that Senate allocated last night will help pay for wireless Internet access and broadband expansion.
A bill to fund $6,500 for Homecoming educational speaker Bill Rancic passed.
In other Senate legislation:
A bill to fund $1,000 for Homecoming speaker Bill Cosby passed.
Rancic passed.
■ A bill to fund $15,000 for the KU
History Galleries passed.
A bill to fund Jaywalk was tabled. Senators debated whether Jaywalk should be funded by the Campus Safety Fee or by the student activity fee.
fee.
A bill to fund the Korean Student Association was tabled because senators were unsure whether an English translator was available at meetings. All student organizations must be open to all students, according to Student Senate guidelines. No members of the association were present to defend their bill.

The card shown is Whitney Ryan, Tulsa, Okla., junior, was a victim of identity theft. Her Visa credit card was stolen and recovered by Lawrence police Sunday.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said that two men were arrested for the theft. He said the man ran up a bar bill at Vermont Street BBQ and tried to pay with the Visa card. The individual who had possession of the card was a 20-year-old transient, without a residency, and the other was an 18-year-old male with a Tonganoxie residence.

"It is creepy to think that you might not even be aware that your card is gone and that someone is pretending to be you," Ryan said.
Ryan's card was charged nine times before being confiscated, used three times at Wal-Mart and three times at Amoco Oil, and at three fast food restaurants. The total amount charged was $260.37.
Ryan is not alone as a victim of identity theft in Kansas. In 2003, 1,378 people were victim to identity theft from existing accounts in Kansas, according to the Federal Trade Commission Web site. Of that total, 30 percent were between the ages of 18 and 29, and 25 percent were between the ages 30 and 39. Kansas ranked 26th in the United States in number of identity thefts.
The Kansas statute on identity theft defines it as knowingly obtaining and using a personal identification number for the intent to defraud for economic benefit. It is a felony under Kansas law.

Boyda answered questions from students and Lawrence residents at an open forum yesterday afternoon at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Nancy Boyda, Second District U.S. House Democratic challenger, said she would address financial troubles for students and abuses in the judicial system if she wins the November elections.
Boyda is running against Republican incumbent, Jim Ryun.
Boyda said she was particularly concerned with how the national deficit would affect college students.
Boyda said her concern for her family and children was the reason she was

While the gentle twists and turns of Kansas Highway 10 may seem like a relaxing drive, that section of highway has claimed nine lives from 1999-2003. University of Kansas freshman Andrew Weir joined that statistic last week when he was pronounced dead at the scene of a one-car accident.
His only knowledge of the accident comes from witness accounts.
The 25-mile stretch of K-10 from Lawrence's east city limits to the Interstate 435 exit hosts anywhere from 25 to 30 thousand vehicles each day, and even more than that on holiday weekends, Kim Stich, informational specialist for Kansas Department of transportation, said.

Arrest made in Kansas City murders
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An inner city neighborhood that had lived in fear after the bodies of drug users and prostitutes were found on vacant property, rejoiced after a man with a lengthy criminal history was charged with one of the six deaths.
Sheliah McKinzie, 38. Semen found on McKinzie's body linked Blair to the crime.
Then yesterday, police announced they had asked prosecutors to charge Blair in three assault/rape cases, as well as the deaths of the other five women whose bodies were found recently in an 18-block area east of downtown.
On Tuesday, prosecutors charged Terry A. Blair, 43, with one count of first-degree murder in the death of
downtown. Police had earlier said that they believed the six homicides were the
work of one killer

When Blair was arrested last week and questioned in the slayings, he was on parole for killing his ex-girlfriend, Angela Monroe, who was the mother of his two children. According to court records, Blair killed Monroe because he was angry she was working as a prostitute.
The charges against Terry Blair brought relief to community members, many of whom knew his family.

SAN'A, Yemen — A trial into the almost four-year-old bombing of a U.S. warship in Aden Harbor that killed 17 Navy sailors concluded yesterday with prosecutors seeking the death penalty for six defendants.
The six defendants, including a Saudi in U.S. custody who is being tried in absentia, are the first people to be tried in the attack, carried out by two suicide bombers in an explosives laden boat on October 12, 2000.
The men are charged with belonging to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network, forming an armed gang with the purpose of carrying out crimes against the state, resisting authorities and forging documents.

The judge adjourned the trial until Sept. 29, when he will issue his verdict.
If convicted, the men face between 15 years in jail and the death penalty. The death sentence is considered unlikely because the defendants are not accused of being the actual bombers.
The five accused in court, all Yemenis, are Jamal al-Badavi, Maamoun Msouh, Fahd al-Qasa, Ali Mohamed Saleh and Murad al-Sirouri. None have ever formally entered pleas.

Displays on the fifth floor of the KU Natural History Museum will be moved to make room for renovations. Both Comanche, a survivor from the Battle of Little Big Horn, and a camarasaur fossil will both be moved to storage.
Beloved horse switches pastures
Renovations force move for Comanche, legendary battle survivor
BY AUDY HYLAN
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Comanche is used to hardship.
The horse was moved to Fort Riley and nursed back to health by the troops stationed there after being the sole United States Cavalry survivor of the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn in present-day Montana.
Now he's being moved again, only this time, it's just one floor down.
The University of Kansas Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center is moving the horse to create space for a renovated gallery, which will house temporary and traveling exhibits, said Brad Kemp, assistant director of public affairs for the museum. The fifth floor of the museum will be shut down, which means Comanche and a 45-foot-long dinosaur fossil of a camarasaur named Annabelle will be moved.
The horse has been encased in

Kemp said that Comanche would not be available for public viewing until at least the end of this year.

A $500,000 gift to the museum donated by Hortense Oldfather made the new renovations possible. Kemp said. He said the camaraasaur fossil will be dismantled and put into the research collection or possibly moved to Science City in Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., but that it had not been decided yet.
Kemp didn't have an exact timetable for when the fifth floor renovations would be complete, but he said they would have to be done by July 1 of next year, when the museum will display a temporary exhibit in that area called "Exploring Evolution."

GAP program gives students international certification
BY JEFF JOHNSTON
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Jenny Schmitt is adding international experience to both her college transcript and her résumé this semester without leaving the University of Kansas campus. Schmitt hopes the experience will help her stand out when applying for graduate school and jobs.
Schmitt, Hutchinson junior, is one of the first University students to take advantage of the new Global Awareness Program. More than four years in development, GAP is a program designed
to help students get academic certification on their transcripts for international experiences they have had in college. The program is free and open to all undergraduates regardless of their major. Some qualifying experiences include studying foreign languages, coursework of an intercultural nature, participating in clubs, attending lectures and studying abroad.
provost David Shulenburger proposed the program in 1999. It was developed in 2000 by a committee of faculty and undergraduate advising staff members, formed by Diana Carlin, dean of international programs.
Schmitt plans to attend law school, and wants to study immigration issues after she graduating in December 2005. She said the GAP certification would show she had worked with immigrants and knew about working with other cultures.
"Bringing this program to maturity has taken a long time," said Jane Irungu, GAP coordinator. "We are trying to prepare our undergraduates, both domestic and international, for a 21st-century work force. We want to prepare them to work and live in a world that is very interconnected."
Irungu, a visiting lecturer from
Kenya, counsels undergraduates on how to fulfill the GAP requirements for certification. Students may choose from a variety of academic components, some of which may have already been met.
Zack Rabold, a political science junior from Omaha, Neb. is also seeking GAP certifica-
been met.
Schmitt found that she has almost completed her GAP requirements. With a combination of her required foreign language classes, classes in international relations and a month of studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain, she will fulfill her requirements at the end of this semester.
tion. Rabold wants to work for the United Nations or another international organization after graduation. Unsure which of his completed classes are applicable to this program, Rabold scheduled an appointment to find out what he needed to complete certification. He heard about the program when Irungu spoke in his political science class.
his position. "I plan on applying to graduate school and think that this will look good on my transcript," he said. "It will show that I have an active interest in international issues."
GAP certification is still a new initiative and is not standardized
between universities. Irungu said Boston College is one school that has a Global Proficiency Program similar to the University's, and the University of North Carolina and the University of Delaware are working on similar programs
"Most universities now realize that raising international awareness among college students is very important given the current global climate," she said.

University evolving with wireless internet proposal
Since last semester, student senators have tried to provide students with wireless Internet access in several major areas throughout campus. Our campus is a few steps away from realizing that goal.
Beginning Nov. 1, students may be able to surf the Net while relaxing on Wescoe Beach or camping out in Allen Fieldhouse for hours on end. The following areas around campus may also have wireless Internet access: Fraser Hall lawn, Budig Hall hallways, Snow Hall and large auditoriums.
The University is one of the last Big 12 schools to implement wireless connections on campus. Funds from the Senate's reserve account will pay for this one-time $45,551 fee. The fund is supposed to be used for technological improvements on campus. Academic Computing Services has agreed to pay for annual costs so that students will not have to pay any additional fees.
Wireless Internet access is a monumental achievement for the University of Kansas, which has been playing catch-up to the other Big 12 schools, Student Senate Executive Committee chairman Arthur Jones said.
But students should not abuse
this new privilege. Cell phones and Kansan crossword puzzles cause enough problems in class. Use the wireless Internet in Budig Hall as a valuable resource tool during class. Students would be able to search for articles or facts upon request from the professors or even prove them wrong.
The administration and professors have requested these services for quite some time, Jones said. Do not show them disrespect by playing games while they're lecturing.
Students can also use wireless Internet to make the most of their down time. Register for classes during breaks, catch up on the news between appointments or, if you must, talk to friends via Instant Messenger.
Not everyone has enough money for a laptop, and some prefer desktops. But now, with technological advancement, laptops are more accessible. Students can check them out from the libraries. Wireless Internet is a gift that will immediately impact a substantial part of the student body.
Besides, the rest of the country already thinks Kansas is hostile toward evolution, pop-music CDs and sex. Let's start to push our image forward and evolve into the technological era.

Don't succumb to the dark side
Though I am not quite one of the many die-hard Star Wars fanatics that I have come to know over time, George Lucas's re-re-release of the films on DVD Sept. 21 — for $70, according to USA Today — still seemed exciting when I saw the news last week.
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
At the exact same time I heard of the reappearance of a galaxy far, far away, though, we were reminded again by a campaigning vice president, Dick Cheney, of the impending end of western civilization - if Americans don't cast enough votes for Bush come November.
Speaking at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, last Tuesday, the Vice President warned, "Make the right choice. Because if we make the wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again, and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating."
ALEXANDER BURTON
This statement hit John Kerry below the belt on defense and crossed an enormous political line by attempting to manipulate electorate fear into votes for the Bush camp. That got me thinking that George Lucas's timing is impeccable. We have a president who isn't all that unlike Luke Skywalker.
George Bush Sr. is W.s"light father," the president who made valid attempts at internationalism, and as recently as 2003 gave his George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service to vehement anti-war liberal democratic senator, Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE
opinion@kansan.com
Dick Cheney, hovering on W.'s other shoulder, has proven by his recent statements to be the most outspoken fear-mongerer of the Bush administration. He is our president's "dark father" or in a more intergalactic parlance, our country's Darth Vader.
It is unfortunate for the country and the nature of this election that the pessimistic, nasty, bristish and short ex-Halliburton CEO gets to run around the country spreading scare tactics like he does and will until the end of the campaign.
If Republicans such as Cheney are serious about fighting fear and promoting security, they wouldn't allow Congress — which, according to an Aug. 9 Gallup poll, has a public approval rating of just 40 percent because of its inactivity — to abandon attempts to secure our ports and airports through federally funded cargo
inspections, in favor of expanding tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
Cheney and his cohorts only spread fear and no-bid war contracts.
The choice between tactics in this election season is clear. At the SUA Open Forum last week, (which takes place every Wednesday on Wescoe Beach, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.) Scott Whitney from the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center warned students against what he called the "siege mentality," a constant fear complex that envelops communities entrenched in terrorism, such as Israel and Palestine.
If we allow politicians such as Darth Cheney to slowly and loudly breathe fear into the discourse this election season, our psychological security will be on a dangerous even plane with our nation's security. Those who use the politics of fear should remember Yoda's warning: "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to the Dark Side."
For the sake of truth and sanity in this election season, we should weed the fear out of politics. Questions of who is right and who is wrong should be debated in earnest; the fight between who is good and who is bad should be left on DVD.
Pauzauskie is a Topeka senior in English and cell biology.
Bush not as foolish as critics say
STEVE SPEAKS<sub>2</sub>, IT MUST BE SO
Since my column a couple weeks back that identified the liberal qualities of this campus, particularly the faculty, the Free For All has had peppered, yet consistent, accusations of either liberals or conservatives being idiots.
"Liberals are idiots," or "conservatives are idiots," it will read. It makes for a grand-slam match of Moron Tennis where thoughtless degradations are volleyed back and forth through countless sets with no tiebreakers.
I've long been opposed to our fine paper's inclusion of an idiotic filler such as the Free For All. But just this time, it actually provided a service.

STEVE VOCKRODT
svockrodt@kansan.com
But it got me thinking about the people who always say our president is a fool. I heard more of these comments being thrown around carelessly after his speech at the Republican National Convention. Bush preempted his own enemies with a comment about how it took even Arnold Schwarzenegger to point out his grammar isn't always the greatest. It made me laugh, but I know it infuriated his enemies who still don't seem to get it.
So at the end of the day, how are we to figure which ones are the idiots and which ones aren't? There's probably no way to know for sure, but based on the content of the Free For All, I can deduce in my mind that those making the comments are idiots.

Bush's legacy seems to ride on making people think he's a bona fide dumbass who stumbed his way to the presidency. But remember, he's a Yale and Harvard graduate. Remember, this is the Ivy League. Not to be an elitist, but the rigors of an Ivy League education isn't something just anyone can handle. Perhaps that's why those universities only accept approximately 4,000 of dozens of thousands of applicants.

But people think he was out burning the books every Firday night, trying his hardest and still couldn't get the job done. If I were a betting man, I'd put
Besides, it's not as though Yale is handing diplomas to just anyone. And sure, there's the whole bit about how his father supposedly pulled strings to get him in there. Bush's dad was a low-level politician when he was in college. Why would Yale care enough about his dad's status to be manipulated?

The lesson that has presented itself time and again — and yet his critics fail to learn — is that Bush's whole persona works well at getting people to think he's dumb. Once you think he's a fool, people then don't expect much. But then when he succeeds, his success are amplified. It's no secret that most voters in this country don't know the issues, and instead rely on visceral experiences in making their decisions. "How do I feel about my job?" "Is there enough money in my bank account?" "Does it burn me more to see soldiers come back dead or see fellow countrymen die at the hands of terrorists?"
Questions such as these dictate a huge percentage of a voter's behavior. For a lot of these voters, a candidate such as Bush, who comes off as the average Joe creates an appeal because it fosters the image not too unlike themselves.
My point? Instead of trying to paint Bush as a fool, his critics should focus their criticisms elsewhere, and get their own candidate to get his own story straight. Unless they want those chants of "Four more years" to be another reality.

IDENTITY: College students vulnerable to identity theft
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said young people were less likely to notice identity theft because of busy lifestyle. He said that college is a carefree age and that it may take students longer to report something stolen or missing because of their schedules.
ing because
The problem with taking time to report a stolen card is that it doesn't take long for a thief to run up a large dollar amount, Bailey said.
Banley said.
A missing card should be canceled within a few hours of its disappearance — it is worth the hassle of cancelling a credit card to save yourself from ruining your credit report, he said.
The men arrested for the
theft of Ryan's card said they found it on the street, but Ryan said she keeps her cards in her purse. At first, she didn't realize the card was missing, because she had previously decided to stop using credit cards and was trying to use only her checking account. When she couldn't find the card, she assumed her parents had taken it.
What really bothered Ryan was that no one checked the signature at any of the places the card was used.
It's important for businesses to check credit card receipts, Ward said.
"Kudos to the waitress for being on top of it," Ward said.

Attacks, killings becoming more indiscriminate in Iraq
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Villagers found three decapitated bodies north of Baghdad yesterday and a car bomb killed two people at an Iraqi military checkpoint south of the capital in attacks that appear to be increasingly targeting Iraqis rather than the United States and its multinational force allies.
- Edited by Jon Ralston
The bodies were found in nylon bags, the heads in bags alongside them, near Dijiel, about 25 miles north of Baghdad, said Col. Adnan Abul-Rahman of the Interior Ministry. They were all men with tattoos, including one with the letter "H" on his arm, but no documents were found on them, he said.
While insurgents have often beheaded foreign hostages in their fight against the government and coalition forces, it is not a tactic usually used against Iraqis, who are more often abducted for money.
Residents from a nearby village found the bodies shortly after dawn and notified the Iraqi national guard, said Iraqi Lt. Ahmad Farouk.
An Associated Press photographer saw the three corpses lined up with their heads by their sides on the floor at the guard compound before U.S. troops collected them and handed them over to police.
Meanwhile, militants released a Turkish man identified as
Aytulla Gezmen, an Arabic language translator who was taken hostage in late July, according to a videotape obtained by Associated Press Television News. The Turkish Foreign Ministry confirmed he had been freed.
A group calling itself The Shura Council of the Mujahedeen said in a separate video Tuesday that it was freeing Gazzeh after he converted to Islam and repented working for the Americans.
the Americas.
Huseiny Gezmen, Aytullah Gezmen's brother, told Turkey's Anatolia news agency that Gezmen called the family and was expected return home in two days. "We heard his voice for the first time in 52 days,"
Huseyin Gezmen was quoted as saying, "My brother is back from the dead."

A Jordanian transport company said yesterday it ceased to operate in Iraq in the hope of winning the release of one of its drivers, Turki Simer Khalifeh al-Breizat, kidnapped by a separate militant group. The kidnappers gave the company 48 hours to pull out.
The developments follow a surge in violence that has killed more than 200 people in the past four days in a brazen and coordinated campaign focused increasingly on the capital — the center of authority for Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and his American allies.

killing at least 20 people. The latest car bomb targeted a national guard checkpoint in Suwayrah, about 40 miles south of Baghdad, Abdul-Rahman said. One guardman was among the two dead; 10 civilians were wounded.
A police patrol in Baqouba, northeast of the capital, was also hit yesterday by an explosive device that wounded four policemen and a civilian, said police Lt. Feras Ali.

Also yesterday, 10 people were killed and six wounded in clashes between insurgents and U.S. forces in Ramadi, a predominantly Sunni Muslim city west of the capital where anti-American sentiments are high, said Saad al-Amili, a senior Health Ministry official in Baghdad.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOBILE, Ala. — Hurricane Ivan and its 135-mph winds churned toward the Gulf Coast with frightening intensity yesterday, spawning monster waves that toppled beach houses and spinning off tornadoes that killed at least two people.
The storm was expected to make landfall early today near Mobile and could swamp the coastline with a 16-storm surge and up to 15 inches of rain. As Ivan finished its menacing advance, it offered a preview of its destruction: Sheets of rain across the coast, a series of tornadoes and escalating winds that knocked out power and made traffic lights whipsaw.
In the Florida Panhandle near Panama City, tornadoes spawned by the storm killed two people and trapped others in the rubble of their damaged homes.

First Kansas resident dies from severe case of West Nile
TOPEKA — A 78-year-old southwest Kansas resident has become the state's first recorded fatality this year due to West Nile, health officials announced yesterday.
sunday.
The victim fell ill Sept. 5 and died in the last week, said Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The victim had the more severe, neurological form of West Nile.
The fatal case of West Nile was one of 17 reported to the health department in Kansas so far this year. Health officials were unsure how many individuals with West Nile remained hospitalized yesterday.
Officials would not release further details on the individual or how the illness was contracted.
Last year, the health department confirmed 90 human West Nile virus cases and seven deaths. Private labs reported an additional 731 cases, with three deaths.
Watson could not explain the drastic drop-off in the disease but said it appeared to follow West Nile's progression, from its first appearance in this country in the Northeast, through the middle of the nation, to the West Coast.
West Nile is carried by birds and transmitted by mosquitoes that bite the birds, then horses or humans. Severe cases can lead to encephalitis, a swelling of the brain, or meningitis, a swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord.

The Jayhawks travel to Northwestern Saturday for their first road test of the season, and though the Wildcats have lost their first two games, their poor record can hardly be attributed to an under-performing offense.
So far, Northwestern has averaged 550 yards of total offense per game and ranks fifth in the nation in that category.

TWINS: Sisters love KU basketball, sorority living, The Wheel
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
When we're performing, we're not allowed to show on our face that we're working hard. I think that's a huge misconception — it looks like we're not working hard because that's the whole point. We're supposed to make it look easy, but it's not.
K: Nobody wants to see a dancer moaning and grunting on stage.
Q: How would you describe performing in front of everyone at Allen Fieldhouse?
K: Our freshman year, Late Night was the first time we went out there and it was amazing.
You just get chills, and I had goose bumps all over.
E: The whole atmosphere of the Allen Fieldhouse and knowing you're a part of that is just really, really exciting.
"We would just
go out to dinner and it would just be us and we'd laugh like we're one of those old couples that have been married for 55 years."
Kristen Maxwell St. Louis junior
Q: How is it living in a sorority house?
E: I think I would have to go with basketball — it's amazing.
sorry house.
K: I didn't know how much I would like it, but we get so much support. It's just a huge support system here at the house and we've made so many friends.
K: I would just have to say the basketball games, but I don't know — football is creepin' up there.
friends.
E A lot of people can't believe we have to live-in two years, but I just love it. I was so excited to come back. Like Kristen said, we have a huge support system here. They love coming to our games, they love trying on our uniforms, they love watching us dance. And I guess 'cause we don't have our family around, they're like our second family.
Q: Would you say you two are best friends?
are he.
E: Definitely. Definitely.
Definitely. She can make me laugh harder than any person in the whole world because we just get each other. I mean, we
don't even have to say anything.
K: Erin and I were here over Labor Day weekend and it was just Erin and I and this house was practically empty. We would go out to dinner and it would just be us and we'd laugh like we're one of those old couples that have been married for 55 years.
Q: What is the best bar in Lawrence?
E: The Wheel.
K: Yeah, I think we'd go with The Wheel because it's very laid back and when you walk in you immediately spot all your friends and they're always yellin'. And you can go there in a T-shirt or go there dressed up. You can go there and get a piece of pizza and take it right up to the bar. But to dance, I'd say the Ranch. We like to hit the dance floor, believe it or not.
about a guy, and what turns you off?
K: I think it's important to be one-on-one with a guy and be able to have the best time. Guys who are cocky are a turnoff.
E: I'm not gonna lie, the first thing I notice about a guy is probably their height because we're tall — we're 5-foot-9. If you can make me laugh you've won me over.
A turnoff for me is a guy that carries baggage from other relationships.
Q: Is your squad better than last year?
K: I think a realistic goal for us is top five.
E: I think if there is a year to do it (win the national championship), this is the year. We had our first practice to learn our nationals dance routine and after the first eight-count I was just thinking "We're gonna win!"

Recently, Colver changed her major from atmospheric science to psychology. "I am very interested in attending law school," Colver said. "I have desire to work with people."
Colver said her father, a lawyer, was a motivation in her decision. She plans on attending law school in Colorado, but she said the University was always an option.
Colver is also a swimming and diving representative in the University's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

This season the Jayhawks have a challenging schedule but are pumped to get things started. Last season, Colver set a personal record in the 200 meter freestyle and owned the second fastest season times on the team in the 100 and 200 meter freestyle. This season Colver hopes to expand on that success.
"We have a difficult dual meet schedule this year, but I have never been so excited to see how this team will come together," Colver said. "I hope I can help the younger teammates with my positive attitude. That is not always easy."

Kansas' Top 10 pro athletes: Legacies live on

Editor's Note: To mark the Kansan's 100th year of publication, sportswriter Paul Brand will take a look at the "Top 10s" of Kansas sports. Have an idea for the next list? E-mail pbrand@kansan.com.

winters. These Jayhawks share a common trait: They are memorable Kansas players who never quite made a successful transition to the pro ranks.
But Kansas has produced many impressive professional athletes in its history. These Jayhawks include hall of famers, Harlem Globetrotters and MVPs. After much deliberation, and some personal favoritism, here are the best professional athletes that Kansas has produced.
10. Gilbert Brown: Weighing in at 340 pounds, this defensive tackle was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1993. His career peaked in 1996 with a Super Bowl title. Following 11 years of devouring opposing offenses, he was released in early 2004.
9. Lynette Woodard: As the
only woman on the countdown, Woodard represents well. She was the first woman ever to play for the Globetrotters after signing in 1985 and playing until 1987. She then played professional basketball in Italy and Japan before assuming a job as a stockbroker. In 1997, she played for the Cleveland Rockers of the WNBA and was taken in the 1998 expansion draft of the Detroit Shock.
8. Danny Manning: Following Kansas' NCAA championship, Manning was taken as the number-one overall pick in the 1988 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. He was named the 1997-1998 "sixth man of the year," but nagging injuries prevented him from reaching true pro greatness. He played in a total of 30 playoff games and averaged 14 points per game.
7. Dana Subblefield: In his first NFL year, the defensive tackle recorded 10.5 tackles and earned defensive Rookie of the Year. In 1994, he won a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers. Riding a 15-sack season, he was named the Defensive Player of the Year in 1997, which was also one of his three Pro Bowl seasons.
6. Paul Pierce: Pierce broke Jayhawk fans' hearts when he left after his junior year, but he immediately delighted Bostonians by
earning All-Rookie team status for the 1998-1999 season with the Celtics. At the age of 27, Paul has already signed an $85 million contract and played in 30 playoff games. He has averaged 23 points per game and played in three All-Star games.
5. John Hadi: After running the Jayhawk offense, Hadl joined the San Diego Chargers from 1962 to 1972. He played with three more NFL teams to round out a career of 33,513 total passing yards and was inducted into the American Football League Hall of Fame. The six-time pro bowler was even named the 1971 "Man of the Year."
3. Otto Schnellbacher: Before Bo knew baseball and Deion knew how to showboard, Otto was making magic on the gridiron and the hardwood. As a split end, he played four seasons with the All-America Football Conference's New York Yankees and the NFLs New York Giants, and he played
4. Jo Jo White: Another Jayhawk turned Celtic. White was drafted by Boston in 1969 and played 10 of his 12 NBA seasons there. His list of awards is lengthy. NBA Finals MVP, All-Rookie team, seven-time All-Star and winner of two NBA titles. To cap his great pro career, his jersey was retired by the Celtics.
pro basketball for one season with the St. Louis Bombers and the Providence Steamrollers. Schnellbacher was an All-Pro defensive back in 1950 and 1951.
2. Gale Sayers: Although he played only seven seasons in the NFL, Sayers was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at 34, the youngest inductee ever. As the 1965 Rookie of the Year, he scored 22 touchdowns, a rookie mark that still stands today. A knee injury prematurely ended what could have been one of the best careers in the history of football.
1. Wilt Chamberlain: What cannot be said about "The Stilt"? The ladies man started his career with the Globetrotters, signing one of the largest contracts in sports history. He put up ridiculous numbers: 100 points, 55 rebounds, 18 consecutive field goals, each in individual games. Chamberlain's hardware included two NBA titles, four MVP trophies, 10-time All-NBA selection, two-time All-Defensive First Team and Rookie of the Year. He won the scoring title seven years in a row, was the league's top rebounder 11 times and had the assist title in 1967-1968. He averaged 50.4 points during the 1961-62 season.

Center makes swimming fun without the sun

JSHER SPORTSMAN
Editor's Note: Each Thursday, Kansan sportswriter Jennifer Sher will profile a recreational hot spot in the Lawrence-Kansas City area. If you know of a fun or interesting place or activity, e-mail jsher@kansan.com.
Summer is short, sweet and over. The outdoor swimming pools may be closed, but the city
of Lawrence has a cure for your end-of-summer blues.
The Lawrence Aquatic Center is the place to go for fun out of the sun. While a tan isn't possible, staying in shape and having a good time is.
The $9 million Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive, is near Sixth and Wakarusa streets and next to Free state High School. The center offers two indoor pools and a variety of activities, ranging from an adult swim team to fitness classes such as Water Walking, Water Polo
The Aquatic Center is part of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Services. Jimmy Gibbs, aquatic supervisor, said people of all shapes and ages could benefit from the center's programs and facilities.
"We are a facility that offers a good variety of fitness and fun to Lawrence residents and students," Gibbs said. "It has been very good for people of all ages."
Students at the University of Kansas appreciate the convenience of an indoor swimming facility. Lawrence freshman Michaela Sakumura has been using the facility since it opened in 2001.
"My friends and I love hanging out there, it is really inexpensive and a very nice place," Sakumura said.
Open year-round, the Aquatic Center has features to entertain the whole family.
the whole family. There are indoor water slides and fountains for the kids' pool, and an Olympic-sized, 21-lane lap pool for divers and leisure
swimmers.
swimming David Beals, Lawrence freshman, said he used the Aquatic Center because he always knew there would be open water for lap swimming.
"That is very reliable for me." Beals said.
A basic membership to the Aquatic Center costs $14 per month. Fully equipped locker rooms and a cafe are also available.

It's been a week of highs and lows for Kansas' women's soccer team.
The team hit an all-time high on Saturday with a road victory against then No. 7 Clemson. Then it hit a season low with their first loss of the year Tuesday at No. 11 Illinois.
"The win on Saturday was a big one, but I think we obviously had a let down against Illinois," Francis said. "I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but we didn't show up to play our best game and consequently lost."
The team's overall focus went from high to low as well, and is one of the main reasons it lost at Illinois, coach Mark Francis said.
Francis said it's hard to know how a team will react to its first loss. Francis

The soccer team doesn't have to travel for the game against Mississippi, and will host a game for the first time in two weeks.
the most important game for us," Francis said. "This is the first loss we've experienced, and it will be interesting to see how we respond. Any time you lose, the next game is very important. You don't want to go on a two-game losing streak."
Francis gave his team the day off yesterday to help recover from the road trip.
The soccer team failed to score a goal for the first time this season Tuesday, but don't look for the team to make any drastic changes in its offensive strategy.
Instead, the team is treating its first loss as a wake-up call, and is making a major attitude adjustment.
"I think it's good that we don't have to wait very long to play our next game," senior goalie Meghan Miller said.
Tomorrow's 5 p.m. home game should be a true indicator of how good the team can play. They will be ready to prove their victory over Clemson was no fluke.
their victory over the team.
"It obviously sucks to lose a game, but it's something we needed to feel." Miller said. "But we don't want to feel that way again for a while. We will bring our A-game on Friday."

Tennis team shows potential
New coach, players enthusiastic about upcoming season
BY RAMUL SHARMA

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
As the Kansas women's tennis team prepares for the fall season. Amy Hall-Holt is entering her second year as the team's coach. If her polished demeanor and work ethic are any indication, the Jayhawks are headed for a successful year.
"We are working hard every day as if we're preparing for a national championship." Hall-Holt said.
Hall-Holt is in her eighth year with the Kansas program. She spent six seasons as an assistant before being named coach in the summer of 2003.
coach in the summer of 2008.
Though the Jayhawks struggled last year with a 7-16 record, they enter this season with a team that looks to recapture the success Kansas tennis has known in the past. In Hall-Holt's first year as an assistant, for example, she helped lead Kansas to the Central Regional Championship and an appearance in the round of 16 at the NCAA Championships.
With some young talent coming in and the addition of assistant coach Frank Polito, there is no reason to believe that Kansas won't find success this year.
this year.
Polito, a former assistant at Kansas in 1996, returns as a proven coach. In 2002, Polito was named the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Midwest Region Coach of the Year while he was an assistant coach as Ohio State. He has held coaching positions for the tennis teams at the University of Akron and the University of Louisiana at Monroe. A solid motivator and teacher of the game, Polito will be looked upon to provide the energy necessary to propel the jayhawks.
"Frank is an outstanding coach," Hall-Holt said. "He brings with him a great knowledge of the game and tremendous energy."
Two weeks ago marked the first official practice of the fall season. Polito maneuvered between courts and surveyed the players, encouraging their effort.
"It's all about hard work," Polito said. "Salent does not win you matches. You have to work hard."
The coaches have been working the players hard during practices, and the players are responding.
"The whole team is putting in the effort," said junior Christine Skoda. "Coach Polito's presence is certainly felt. He serves as a great motivator."

"Coming from such a small town, I never really knew what a team was like," she said. "There is so much dependency and support from one another."

Swimming anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 yards a day, or three to four miles, it is hard to imagine Colver doing anything but swimming.
doing anything but in a almost perfect grade point average, Colver has been recognized for her academic efforts as well, earning a spot on the inaugural Academic All-Big 12 team her sophomore year and following it up with a repeat performance her junior year.

Twin dancers best friends, depend on each other
Kansas has its own special set of twins: Erin and Kristen Maxwell, the captains of the Rock Chalk Dance Team, formerly the Crimson Girls. The two are inseparable. Friends say they can't live without each other. They share the same computer, car and room. They joke about each having half a brain, and they finish each other's sentences — so much that it was hard to get in an interview.
I will do it myself.
Twins. That's all you have to say now and men begin to salivate, thinking of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Coors beer commercials.

Erin: We've been roommates our whole life; we just know that we'll always be best friends. If you can't count on anyone else, you should always be able to count on your family.
Kristen: We talk to our mom at least once a day, usually multiple times a day. We talk to our brother and we talk to our stepdad. We can count the number of times we've been apart on one hand — it's four.
Q: What do you think of the Coors beer advertisements with the twins?
Question: How important is family?
K: We've actually been asked that
before. We've actually got asked questions like, "How long do we have to wait until you're the Coors Light twins?"
until you're the GOAT.
E: When we're at football games we always hear from the student's section:
"and twins!"
Q: Is there much competition between the two of you?

K: Our mom always taught us to be supportive of each other. Like if Erin wins and she's so happy she cries, I'll start crying. There really not that much competition.
much competition.
E: We each get more nervous for the other one to dance. When she goes out to do her solo, I'm a nervous wreck, more than I am before I go out to do my solo. I would rather her do better than me, because it just hurts when the other one doesn't win.
C. Do you think dancing is hard work?
K and J. Yes.
Yes.
Erin and Kristen Maxwell, St. Louis juniors, are the captains of the Rock Chalk Dance team. The twins said that performing at Allen Fieldhouse is exciting and that dancing is underated- "We kick our legs and bend and stretch in ways that I'm sure God never intended anyone to ever do," Kristen said.
K: I think that it's underrated. I'm not taking anything away from football, because I know they get beat up on the
field, but if you think about it, we,kick prised how much pain we're in after our legs and bend and stretch in ways practice and how much stress it is on that I'm sure God never intended any- your body one to ever do.

Last Sunday the 40-year-old Tonganoxie native and University of Kansas student left the University for 45 days of training before going to Kuwait with Topeka's 74th Quartermaster Company. He will be supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, which generally refers to U.S. military activities in Iraq.

The Kansas Board of Regents allocated $320,058 for maintenance and approved a doctorate degree in public administration at the University of Kansas yesterday.

'Hawks practice with soaked balls, want to avenge last year's rainy loss
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Junior offensive lineman Matt Thompson said the only difference between preparing for a road game as opposed to a home game was that the offense would wear white jerseys instead of the blue ones.
But as the football team prepares to travel to Northwestern for its first away game of the season, coach Mark Mangino said it would do something a bit out of the norm at practice.
Yesterday, Mangino brought a bucket of water to practice, and the players dipped the footballs in the water before snapping them to the quarterback.
Mangino's insistence on practicing with wet footballs dates back to last year's 28-20 home opening loss against Northwestern that was played in constant rain. The rain spoiled the Jayhawks' 2003 season opener and caused former Kansas
"I know we are going to throw wet balls," Mangino said. "Whether it is 110 and dry in Evanston, I can guarantee you that."

This 24-hour, bag-it-yourself operation keeps costs low by keeping some of its storage on its shelftops. But this warehouse feel doesn't take away from the shopping experience.
Food 4 Less, 2525 Iowa St., has fewer customers than Checkers and many times operates with just one checker.

Super Target, 3201 Iowa St., houses a fully-stocked grocery store in the northern third of its building. Super Target, with its wide aisles, offers shoppers the bonus of going grocery shopping after picking up those pruning shears and vacuum bags they needed.

Kristen Bast, Overland Park doctoral student, comes to get groceries when she needs something else. "It's convenient," Bast says. "Everything is in one place. It seems nicer and cleaner than most other places. And the atmosphere is definitely better."

are open 24 hours and all have installed Express Self Checkouts. Dillons' biggest features are price per unit on all items and directories of all aisles to help you find what you want. Purchasing items without the Dillons Plus Shopper Card can be significantly pricier.
While Dillons locations are spread throughout the city Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway and 4000 W. Sixth St..has both of its stores in western Lawrence. The 24-hour stores are remarkably wellstocked and clean.

And great service. Owings and Switzer's cart is halfway full and they have barely left the produce section. Switzer predicts they will spend up to $100 this afternoon.
$100 this afternoon.
Owings and Switzer's cart has continued to fill and there items are overflowing to the bottom rack. "Hy-Vee is where my parents shop," Owings says. "My mother is the penny pincher of all penny pinchers, so Hy-Vee must be cheap if she goes here."
When the guys unpile all of their groceries onto the conveyor belt and all the scanning is done a foot-long receipt creeps out of the cash register. Owings and Switzer owe $142.35. They pull out their wallets and split the cost with$ 20 bills.

Don't skimp on the bun. If you're going to get good meat, then spend some money on the bun too. Toasting the bun on the grill is a personal thing and only takes a few minutes.
COFFEE SHOP
Toppings?
Hamburgers
Use the freshest toppings you can find. For example, red onions are a little sweeter than white or yellow onions. A big tomato and romaine lettuce also help. Don't use iceberg lettuce; romaine has so much more taste. Personally I enjoy sliced pickles more than pickle relish.
Don't use prepackaged meats; make your own grade A patties. Fat is a big part of flavor, so determine on your own what leanness works for you.
Charcoal all the way. Mesquite charcoal has a woody, smoky flavor that you just can't get with gas.
Pound and pack in the patties. You want the patties as tight as possible.
Don't rush it when grilling. If you press the patty on the grill all of the juices will come out. Just give it time to cook.
Charcoal or gas?
Bun?
Five to 10 minutes will usually cook a patty to medium well, but that varies on thickness of the patty and temperature of the grill. Generally, a patty is done to medium well if there is no more blood on top the patty. If there is ever a question you can check for doneness by knicking the patty with a spatula or knife to check the color on the inside.
—Andrew Vaupel
Meat?
Marinades or sauces?
Adding a little seasoning goes a long way even it is just pepper or salt. Worcester sauce helps a lot to keep meat moist.
Add your seasonings before you put the patty on the grill. Just don't ovardo the seasoning; a little kick of seasoning is all it needs.
Other tips or suggestions?

Knit it like Granny
By Megan Claus Jayplaywriter
And this year you could send a stitched gift instead of having to wear one...
If the idea of swirling yarn with oversized needles sounds titilating to you, you may be in for a life-altering hobby. Okay, maybe not life-altering. I was a virgin knitter on the night I decided to try experimenting for the first time—with knitting needles and yarn that is. I had no idea what I was in for.
Photos by Kit Leffler
It wasn't so difficult once I got the hang of it, but getting to that point was a challenge. If you're like me, you have a sense of creativity, but are probably not the type of person who could whip up a stunning smock without a little guidance and example.
We're a lucky bunch of knitting hopefuls. The Craft Yarn Council of America sponsored research in fall 2002 that suggested that more and more younger women are learning to knit. The percentage of women under the age of 45 who know how to knit and crochet doubled from 9 to 18 percent between 1996 and 2002, according to Publishers Weekly in May 2004. And for all you guys who are too shy to dive into all the fun, knitting is unisex.
All this popularity can only mean one thing: more resources for learning have been demanded, and the market has supplied. There are how-to books and videos and online resources, but nothing beats a good learning session from a pro. I took it to the ultimate source of the knitting knowledge hierarchy: my grandmother. But if your little ole' granny, her rocking chair and basket of pumpkin orange yarn aren't readily available for you, there are other options.
Chris Deman, owner of Crafty & Company, 918 Massachusetts St., says her goal is to get Lawrence knitting faster. Deman plans to offer crafting classes, including knitting for all levels of experience. She says visual learning is the best way and encourages her customers to bring in their projects if they are stumped.
Finding your own rhythm is foremost. Deman recommends starting a practice project, knitting your stitches over and over while ignoring the holes and mistakes. Eventually, you'll find your comfort level and will be able to take on a project.
If you want to knit, there are no excuses not to. The resources are endless. To avoid road bumps that I experienced, I strongly advise you to look at all your options before jumping into it. And don't be discouraged if you don't get it right away. Just remember two things: patience and practice.
Don't be aknit-wit
Let's practice the first row
Let's practice the first row
Here are a few steps that will get you started. If you make it to the end, you owe it to yourself to take it a little bit further.
You'll need a pair of knitting needles-any size, and a skein of yarn-any kind.
Slip it on
The first stitch is the slip knot. Pull about 10 or 12 inches from your skew of yarn and make a circle, leaving extra yarn for a tail. Place the end of your yarn under the circle; it should look like a pretzel. Insert one needle under the pretzel bar. Pull the ends of your yarn around the needle. Don't pull it too snug!
Cast on
Place the needle in your right hand. Wind
the tail end around your left thumb from
the inside out and wrap yarn from the
skin over your left index finger from the
inside out.
Insert the needle under the first strand on your thumb from the side nearest to you.
— Megan Claus
Bring the needle over and around the first strand on your index finger. There should be a triangle-shaped loop between your thumb, needle and left hand. Pull the
yarn and needle through this loop.
(not shown)
Take your thumb out of the loop and gently pull the tail end to tighten the stitch on the needle.
Repeat the cast on steps eight to 10 times for your practice project. This will be your first row.

You were smart enough to use a condom, but now the unthinkable has happened — its defective, broken or torn. To prevent pregnancy, the woman involved needs to start emergency contraception within 72 hours. This usually means taking the infamous "morning after pill."

aute Hosting Throw a party... without using a single keg
H
By Misty Huber, Jayplay writer
If you need a social break from the bars or weekend puke-fests, try throwing a more stylish shindig. Anna Gregory, Topeka senior, started hosting parties this summer after moving into a new house. Now she hosts get-togethers almost once a week. "Entertaining is a really fun way of getting people together," she says. Becoming a
party pro doesn't require elaborate preparation. Here are some tips to help you along your way to party-hosting perfection.
1. Party Prep 101 You don't need to send
1. Party Prep 101 You don't need to send invitations for a casual event, but give guests at least a week's notice. Narrow your invitation list to six to eight people. On the day of the party, plan for enough time to vacuum, set up and give your house a once-over before guests arrive. Decide if you need to move furniture to create enough seating.
2. Play Fare If you've never hosted a party before, start simple. Pick up fried chicken or egg rolls from your grocery store deli, or host a potluck dinner. Choose foods that are quick and easy to prepare, such as bagged salad and bread. If you're on a budget, ask a friend to bring an appetizer or beverage. When planning your menu, consider the needs of your guests. Your vegan guest may not be pleased to see Atkins-only cuisine. Evening dinner parties are not your only option. Gregory recently hosted a breakfast party for friends to watch the Republican National Convention. She served orange sweet rolls, grapes and juice. A week earlier, she served dessert fondue and had guests bring their favorite fruits to dip in it. Other ideas include setting up a taco or pizza bar so guests can create their own meal masterpieces. Whatever you choose, don't let guests starve. If you're having a party with just drinks and hors-d'oeuvres, expect each guest to eat 12 bite-sized servings. Keep extra items such as nuts, cheese, crackers and chocolate on hand in case you run out of your main dishes.
3. Setting the Mood Before your party starts, light candles and play some mellow music. Table ware doesn't have to be fancy, but
if you entertain a lot, it may be a good idea to invest in some nice glasses. Bed Bath & Beyond, 3106 Iowa St., offers a 12-piece wine goblet set for $9.99. If you don't mind mismatched glasses, thrift shops are another place to look for glass sets.
4. Wine-ing Allowed Even good wine does not have to be much more expensive than an AAA Tennis court at Cork & Rosal
Photo by Courtney Kuhlen
does not have to be more than beer. Mike Zerr, wine clerk at Cork & Barrel Wine and Spirits, 2000 W. $23^{rd}$ St., recommends white wine to most college students because it's cheaper and most wine amateurs prefer its sweeter flavor to that of robust reds. Zerr says you can get a good bottle of white wine for $10 to$ 15. His pick is a fruity Chehalem Pinot Gris for $14.99 at Cork & Barrel. Zerr says it is difficult to find a good red wine for less than$ 20 and recommends a red Zinfandel or Merlot. He says Montevina Zinfandel, which sells for $10, became the most popular red wine after it was featured on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
It's best to match intensities between menu and wine, Zerr says. Serve red wine with red meat and pasta in hearty red sauces. White better with lighter fare, such as seafood, poultry and cream sauces. The number of bottles you will need depends on how much your guests drink. You can get four to five glasses from a standard 750-milliliter bottle.
Whatever type of party you choose, remember connecting with your guests and having fun are the most important aspects. Do not get so caught up in the planning that you forget to have a good time. Cheers!

By Samia Khan, Jayplaywriter Grunge golf Photos by Steven Bartkoski
If Tiger Woods was really hardcore, he'd be playing Frisbee golf
Myles Ikenberry would never wear a polo shirt. He wouldn't be caught dead in a country club and would refuse to pay for green fees and golf clubs. But he still plays golf: Frisbee golf, that is.
After losing sight of his disc on the first long hole of an afternoon round, the Salina junior begins hunting for it in shrubs, bushes, mud and trees — something Tiger Woods would never have to do. While searching, ikenberry mentions how he discovered this hybrid game: in high school advanced physical education class.
There was an advanced PE? "Yeah! I was a fuckin' PE all-star!" Ikenberry says.
KANSAS
All-star status aside, ikenberry cites many of the same reasons most players do in describing the appeal of Frisbee golf, also known as disc golf. It has all the allure of real golf: It's a mental game, a sport for all ages, a time to be with friends outdoors, and it's relaxing yet exhilarating. But it's cheap, it's physical and it's dirty. It's blue-collar golf. There are no fees; discs can be as cheap as $6, and there are no well-kept greens. You're out digging for lost discs in a wooded creek just like iken-
The basics of disc golf are similar to regular golf. There are 18 holes. The goal is to throw the disc in the hole, and the winner has the lowest score under par. Different types of discs drivers, putters and mid-rangers serve specific aerodynamic purposes, just as different golf clubs are used for different shots. The holes are elevated metal baskets with chains down the center acting as netting. Players carry a bag of discs. Some players also carry towels, bug spray and poison ivy lotion just in case. Others on the course just come with the clothes on their back and whatever disc they can find. This game doesn't discriminate.
berry.
Disc golf participation has boomed in the last decade. The only disc golf course in Lawrence at Centennial Park,
**Left:** A well-placed throw takes time to perfect.
**Right:** This player's putt might put him under par.
Sixth Street and Rockledge Road, was installed in 1991 when the sport had cult-following status. Now, the park will sometimes host more than 100 players at once. Students and Lawrence residents can join the Kaw Valley Disc Golf Club and participate in league play on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6 p.m. "On a nice day, it's slammin' out there," says Henry Pohocuscut, former vice president of the club. Pohocuscut now plays in professional tournaments and placed fourth in his division at the 1999 World Amateur Championships. At that tournament more than 400 spectators watched along with local media. Growing media attention to the sport has already caused some changes. Starting in 2005, a yuppie element will be present: collared shirts for participants in all major professional events. Even with this change, Pohocuscut is waiting for the day he can watch a full tournament on ESPN. It'll happen soon, he says.
Nathaniel Marshall, club president, says the game has become so popular in Lawrence that the city needs another course. He is in the initial stages of working with the city to install another course by Clinton Lake or the Riverfront Park area. Competitive participation is growing 10 percent per year, and Marshall estimates a 30 percent yearly growth in recreational participation. The Professional Disc Golf Association sponsors several national tournaments every year. It's even catching on around the world. Now, we've given our friends in Japan blue jeans, David Hasselhoff and disc golf.
Students at the University of Kansas can even take a disc golf class for credit. It may not get you into Harvard Business School, but HSES 108 is a single-credit course that offers basic instruction in the game. Nick Altieri, Lawrence freshman, has been playing for two years and is taking the class as a fun elective. He says the class plays for leisure and doesn't follow the rules of the game strictly.
The game is about more than throwing a Frisbee. Just take a look at the tee-pad, the platform from which players tee-off, it's more of a runway. Each player takes a galloping start before using an Olympic discus-worthy throw to jettison the disc to

He moves on to the next hole and begins talking about the time he rode his bike to the park to play by himself, lost the disc on the first hole, spent an hour and a half looking for it and got poison ivy all over his legs. He was so exhausted he took a nap on the park bench before biking home.
Ten minutes after losing his disc, Ikenberry is still looking for it in the marshy overgrowth of cedar trees. He finally crawls out of the patch of jungle, takes two steps to his left and finds his disc right on the open grass. He laughs it off. It's what comes with such a genuinely hands-on sport.
the desired target. For Marshall, there's nothing more satisfying than hitting a long shot or hearing the chains shake when the disc hits, reverberating like breaking glass. Ikenberry agrees driving the disc long and on-target is a thrill. He's the Happy Gilmore of disc golf: He makes monster drives but falters at putting. It takes time to learn the techniques of each different throw.
There are trees, hills and creeks to maneuver. The average hole-length on the course is 261.33 feet, with some holes longer than 300 feet. "When guys come out here for the first time, you can see they're so embarrassed because they throw real girly," Ikenberry says.

You can't get that at a country club.

[We won't tell your mom that she's hot well, at least not in front of your dad.]
I'm wanting to major in African studies, but both my parents are somewhat racist. I'm worried that they won't pay for my education if they find out. How can I get around them knowing what I'm studying?
Tara,Freshman
a
**Chris:** Geez, that sucks. But, lying for the next four years will suck even more. Sure, you could possibly pull it off, but what will you do when you graduate? Will you lie about your career too? If you're depending on the money, do what you have to. But a more noble action would be to tell your folks you don't share their racist viewpoints and to keep their effing money.
Jessi: Personally, I'm a strong proponent of communication. Confront the issue directly and talk to them about your future plans. If they withdraw funding for your schooling, there's always financial aid, grants and student loans to get by. Many students support themselves through school, so you wouldn't be alone in that regard. Good luck.
Q
How do I go about asking one of my coworkers if he's gay or not? I don't want to bluntly ask, because it may offend him. But if he's straight, I want to date him, but I can't read his signals.
Help me!
Julie, Sophomore
a
Chris: You're right. "Are you gay?" would be slightly too direct. Try asking if he has a girlfriend or when the last time he had a girlfriend was. You could also try having one of your gay friends hit on him. Or ask him to go shopping with you, and if he get's really really excited, he might be gay.
Jessi: I'd be discrete, and use the ole "Which celebrity do you want to bang?" And if he's vague, give him an ultimatum: Jennifer or Brad.
Q
My roommates' taste in girls is totally different than mine. It's so different, he sometimes makes comments about not finding the girls I date very attractive. Why is this?
— James. Sophomore
a
Chris: He's a dick. And he probably doesn't find the girls you date attractive. It doesn't mean you aren't banging hot chicks, it's just that his definition of "hot" differs from yours. It's like how your dad likes banging your mom, but you don't really find her that attractive. See how that's exactly the same. See.
Jessi: Why does he comment on the girls you date? Because he's rude. Why do your tastes differ? Because everyone has preferences in their mate. What we're attracted to is developed early on and stays with us into our pruny years. These tastes stem from childhood sexual experiences of "you show me yours, I'll show you mine."

All hail the queens
These girls show being fabulous can be a real drag
By Misty Huber, Jayplay writer
Alexus calls me to say she's stuck in traffic on her way to Lawrence from Kansas City, Mo., and she'll be a few minutes late to our 6:30 p.m. interview. This is my first time talking to Alexus Panache. She directs the "Alexus Panache Show," a once-a-month drag show at Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill, 806 W 24th St., hosted on Wednesday's alternative lifestyles night. Before today I had only talked to her male alter ego, Dan Fulk, a freelance makeup artist for Estee Lauder and M.A.C cosmetics. I arrive at Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill at 6:35 p.m., surprised to see Alexus is already there. "A queen is never late," she tells me. "Everyone else is just early." She is wearing a green sleeveless t-shirt, baggy shorts and flip-flops, with a flawless French-tipped pedicure. She has comedy-and tragedy masks tattooed on her upper arm. She and another performer, Montana, are eating Sonic. They're already in heavy makeup and false eyelashes, preparing for tonight's show, but they tell me they aren't even close to ready. We sit down at a table as the two dig into their fast-food bags.
Alexus tells me she got into drag on a dare from a group of friends. She had done theater in high school, and became interested in makeup, entertaining and dancing. "Drag is just another form of theater," she explains. I notice she keeps referring to me as "honey" or "sweatie." She went through many looks before creating Alexus Panache. She picked the name from the Dynasty character: Alexis Carrington, played by Joan Collins, and panache, which is a French word for "pizazz." She did her first show in April 2001. Now she does the drag shows at Flanigans, and occasionally at Tootsie, 1822 Main St., Kansas City, Mo. Still, she says, drag is more a paid hobby than a lifestyle. Alexus is only a small part of Dan, she says. As Alexus, she says she's a little catier and more fabulous. She fixes glitter, glamour and looking pretty.
Alexus tells me a stereotype she faces is...
Alexus Ponache opens her show at Jack Flanigans Bar & Grill Sept. 1. This flashy number was the first of four outfits for the evening.
The drag transformation is painful, but you get used to it, Alexus says. Demonstrating how she creates cleavage,
Beauty is Pain
The girls have converted the women's bathroom into their dressing room. The smell of hairspray is thick as Montana fluffs a wig on a plastic foam head. Alexus keeps her stage makeup in a huge electrical box; inside are M.A.C cosmetics and Ben Nye stage makeup. "Cover Girl is to cover a girl, not a boy, honey," she says. They keep their costumes in large blue plastic storage bins. Because the clothes they need are made to fit women's bodies, they have to make a few modifications, such as buying strapless tops to accommodate their wider shoulders, or making their own drag clothes, as Alexus does.
that people think she wants to be a woman. She also says she doesn't do drag for a sexual kick, and she doesn't do sexual things with men as Alexus. Montana tells me there's even a stigma in the gay community that all queens are whores. This perception of immorality seems strange when I find out Montana does drag on Sunday nights and gives all the profits to the Kansas City Free Health Clinic, 5119 E. 24th St., Mo.
Drag Queen/King: A person, usually homosexual, who dresses in exaggerated clothing and makeup of the opposite sex. Drag is a form of performing art.
Cross-Dresser: A person, usually hetero- sexual, who dresses in clothing of the oppoisite sex, sometimes as a sexual fetish.
Transexual: A person who switches sex through hormones, surgery or both.
Source: Wikipedia
Montana chose her drag name from a character in the 1991 movie Soapdish. She's been doing drag for 16 years. At age 21 Derek Dyer, Montana's male name, was working at a gay bar in Kansas City, Mo., where he met drag show director, Miss Sandy Kaye. "She did a Judy Garland you would not believe," Montana says. Derek was fascinated that men could look like women. He moved to San Francisco, where he made a living just doing drag, but missed his family in the Kansas City area. He moved back and is again working with his "drag mother," Miss Kaye, and managing an apartment complex. Montana does drag two to three times a week in Kansas City, Mo. She says there is no difference between her and Derek. "I'm the same person on the inside," she says. "There's no emotional change."
she grips the sides of her chest with one hand, and pinches them together. She tapes her faux cleavage with clear packing tape before she stuffs. Drag queens also have to tuck their male genitalia between their legs, and if they're wearing skimmy they

use duct tape to hold it in place. I wince, but Alexus just shrugs. To avoid shaving their legs, some queens wear up to 10 pairs of pantyhose, Alexus says, but she can get away with a pair of dance tights covered with a pair of nude fishnets. She also glues her heavy jewelry to her skin to keep it from falling on during her dance routines.

Three GQ-esque young men show up to help Alexus and Montana set up their stage. Brandon Prusa, Ullyssus sophomore, says he's helped with all of the shows since he met Alexus last year at Flanigans.

At about 10 p.m., two more performers arrive, almost in full costume. Desiree Luv, is a voluptuous 24-year veteran, who does a lot of character drag, invoking Tina Turner and Patti LaBelle. She tells me there's an art to female impersonation; one that's transformed to a beauty competition. She is the only transsexual of the group. She says she has always felt very feminine and as a child everyone always thought she was female. The difference between her and the other girls is the lifestyle, she says. Desiree lives as a woman, and has size 38 C-sized breasts from hormone therapy, but hasn't had sexual-reassignment surgery. She performs in drag shows six nights a week and runs a party bus, called the Mudslide, in Kansas City, Mo. Her transformation to drag takes less time, just 20 minutes.
The queen next to her is tall and slender Channing LaRue. She's been doing drag for almost seven years. Several years ago she was a theatre and music student, named Andy, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Andy became a music teacher during his coming-out period in 1997. He soon quit teaching and began bartending, and now he is a hairdresser. Channing describes drag as her "Aha!" moment. She had always wanted to perform, and within a year was doing drag one or two nights a week. She tells me her character, Channing, is a senator's wife with a background in ice skating. The girls banter and joke while getting ready in the dressing room. It's an easy, relaxed atmosphere. The last of the performers, a sassy, dark-skinned Milano quean, named Iman Mykales, shows up shortly before showtime. She complains she got lost on the way from Kansas City, Mo. Iman makes her living on drag shows, doing four to five shows a week. She holds 11 titles, and is the reigning Miss Gay Kansas City, she says. She started 10 years ago, as Michael, on a bet from her friends.
"And then began the drama," she says.
Show and Tell
It's almost 11 p.m., and the crowd starts to pour in. It's mostly gay men, some lesbians and straight women and a handful of straight men. "The heteros come because they've never seen this before, except on Ricki Lake," Alexus says. A few people sneak in the dressing room, and everybody is eager to meet and greet the queens. Their celebrity
status is obvious. I expect to be asked to leave the dressing room, but the queens seem to have forgotten I'm there. Desiree walks out topless in pantyhose and a girdle and I can only think two things: yes, her breasts are real, and they're bigger than mine. Alexus is in a top and pantyhose. They're singing and dancing to "Hey Ya" by OutKast while putting on their finishing touches. They tease each other and gossip. Iman's recounting an episode from earlier that week. "And I was like, I will whoop your ass and then put you in drag," she says to Desiree and Channing. Montana wears an outfit just for mingling with the audience before the show. I ask what she uses to stuff, and she pulls a prosthetic breast covered in fabric out of her bra.
I take my place next to the catwalk. Alexus comes out from backstage in a black bustier and pants with one sequined-denim leg and the other rainbow-colored
Next is Montana, donning a black leather jacket, black sequined bustier and faded jeans. She has long silver talons and stilettos. She looks a bit like Madonna, with a Farrah Fawcett-inspired feathered mane. Alexus changes backstage into a slinky black dress with a hot pink shawl around her waist, and short brunette hair. She introduces Channing, whom she jokes is just back from the Republican National Convention. Channing comes out in a bright green can-can dress and a long, blond feathered wig. During her routine, she strips
fringe. She also wears a blonde, shoulder-length wig. The buxom queen is the undisputed star of the show. People push to the front of the catwalk for a chance to put dollar bills in her top. Alexus also emcees the show, heckling the audience more than they heckle back. The show is a cross between a lip-synched concert, beauty pageant, pole-dancing show and comedy club. She announces Desiree, who shocks the audience in a fluorescent multi-colored cat suit and neon yellow pigtails.
The heteros come because they've never seen this before, except on Ricki Lake.
to a neon orange and green ice-skating dress with sequins, and then twirls down to an even skimpier neon yellow fringed skating dress.
At intermission, in the dressing room, I'm surprised to see Channing out of costume. I had almost forgotten these performers were men. Desiree is shaking her Tina Turner wig, making sure it's secure. The mood is subdued; the girls are getting into their next outfits, or silently rehearsing. They help each other get into costume and fix their hair. The quiet lasts only as long as intermission.
will cut you," Alexus warns the audience. Iman walks on stage in jeans, a sleeveless denim zippered top and plenty of bling-bling. The first half of the show wraps up with a slow song from Desiree to "I Believe in Miracles," by Whitney Houston. She's in an off-the-shoulder evening gown and adorned with fist-sized sparkling earrings.
Alexus portrays Iman as a bad girl. "She's shef and she

Iman starts the second half a seductive dance to "T-Shirt and My Panties On," by Adina Howard. She wears flashing jewelry that light up, a red body suit with red boots, a blue ripped T-shirt and a high ponytail that makes her resemble Naomi Campbell. The most important aspect of the show is the interaction with the audience. Alexus doesn't speak over the crowd, but rather to

them, asking questions and commenting on select patrons' clothing or sexuality. No one seems to mind even the harshest teasing. One girl is yelling Alexus' name, but Alexus can't see her. She yells back, "Are you pretty?" And then after
a moment, "No, you're not because nobody said anything." After Montana's rendition of "Walking on Sunshine" in a yellow and pink swimsuit and leather jacket, Alexus announces Rock the Vote voter registration. She's not campaigning for Kerry as much as she's calling for the outstung of Bush. Next is Channing in another ice-skating outfit, this one blue. Her eyelids are heavily glittered

and her routine includes an exhausting number of back kicks and twirls. The event everyone seems to have been waiting for is the pole-dancing competition. Young topless men are picked from the crowd. They strut down the catwalk and dance on the pole while the audience cheers and boos to vote for its favorite. One contestant reveals he's not wearing any underwear to the delight of the crowd. The show is winding down as Desiree, dressed as Tina Turner, performs an ambitious "Proud Mary." Out of breath, she announces Alexus, and the audience once again crowds the stage. In a white, sleek asymmetrical dress, Alexus ends the show with a fast-paced finale.
An hour before showtime, Alexus preps for her performance in the women's restroom. The man-toque metamorphosis takes an average of two hours to complete.
The queens and their entourages gather their costumes and makeup in the dressing room, while several fans come back to congratulate them on their show. I ask how long it will take to get out of drag, and they all tell me fewer than 20 minutes. "I like to put it on, but I love to take it off," Montana says After almost eight hours at the show, I wonder how these provocative performers can do this night after night. I slip out quietly, knowing it will be a long time before the girls will get past their fans.

You know what they say about guys with big feet.
They have big... shoes?
Illustrations: T.J. Fuller
By Brian Wacker, Jayplaywriter
You've heard it before: The size of a man's penis is directly related to his shoe size. Freakishly tall men, football players and even insecure journalism students with abnormally large feet have lived and died by this claim since they were 13-year-olds, touting their shoe size as an indication of their manliness.
Or perhaps you've heard a man's penis is the same length as the distance between the bottom of his palm and the tip of his middle finger. Other rumors suggest the size of your nose can indicate penis size.
According to the article "Can Shoe Size Predict Penile Length" in a 2002 edition of the British Journal of Urology International, the association between penile length and shoe size has no scientific basis. Small-footed men rejoice! No longer must you buy tennis shoes three sizes too large, only to stuff a sock in the toe so the shoes will fit. You can walk with confidence knowing you don't wear your penis size on your shoes.
Researchers conducted this study at a research facility in England, comparing the lengths of over 100 men's penises and their shoe sizes. The subject matter of the study might be amusing, but the researchers handled the study with great sincerity. They even accounted for "environmental influences." (Guy translation: shrinkage.) According to the study, "The measurements were made immediately after the men undressed to minimize the effects of temperature." If only everyone in the locker room was as understanding.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, says the study results are correct and the
myths surrounding penis size and the sizes of other body parts are loads of crap. He says these urban legends derive from a disorder almost all men suffer from - male sexual insecurity.
A 2002 study in Psychosomatics journal says American college students are almost twice more likely to have body image problems than their European counterparts. Penis size was one of the top concerns for college-age men. The study says these problems can lead to depression, anxiety and even obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It's puzzling why men arbitrarily assign the measure of their manhood to their twigs and berries. One answer is that we live in a sexually repressive society that keeps us from obtaining enough correct information about sexuality, says Dailey.
Penis size means little when it
comes to sex. In other words, it's not the size of the boat that counts:It's the motion of the ocean.Dailey says only
25 percent of women experience orgasm through sexual intercourse. The ineffectiveness of men is not because of the size of their penises. Think of the penis as a Pontiac Aztek — it's poorly designed and hardly ever gets you to where you want to be in style.
There may not be tangible reason why these rumors exist, but one thing is for certain; size isn't everything. In fact, it's really not much of anything. Instead about worrying about the size of your penis, pay more attention to your partner. In her world, a big penis is not as important as a big O.

It's a Friday night, and things are starting to get hot and heavy. Hope Floats is merciless muted on the TV screen, and you and your girlfriend are rolling around on the couch like a couple of rabid ferrets.

He said she said "What are you thinking?"
In a relationship, fights or disagreements are bound to come up. For women, sometimes they don't even refer to a fight as a fight, but rather a discussion. If there's a disagreement,
Ashley Schoonover, Valley Falls senior, says, "Usually I want something specific that he is trying to hide when I ask this question. I know something is wrong, and I think we should talk about it."
women want to know what their man feels about it. The question is then posed, "What are you thinking?"
At times, guys dread this question because it leads to a conversation about feelings and emotions that either they didn't know were there or they just don't
feel are important. Travis Johannes, Hays junior, says that men typically wouldn't ask this question, but he has in the past with his ex-girlfriend. Johannes says, "I just wanted to know why she had that funny look on her face. I didn't need details." Both sexes should take into consideration what this phrase means and answer with care. Men should try setting back extra time, because women tend to want an elaborate answer

Die-hard music fans stay true to vinyl records
Luke Mahonney, Overland Park freshman, loved the Irish records for such selections as the Rolling Stones and Phillip Glass Friday evening. "This place is funky, and buying used records is cheap compared to CDs," Mahonney said.

The combination of dust and mold keeps Sam Hopkins sneezing. In addition, his shins are hurting from leaning against a table for an extended period of time. This is the third thrift shop he's been to today, and so far he has found nothing. "You'd be amazed," says Hopkins. "I travel all over the country and still see the same records by the same artists." But all the physical ailments are worth it, because eventually he'll find a rare gem.
Since the age of 14, Hopkins has been passionately interested in collecting vinyl records from all over the world. He is constantly searching for treasures, hitting every used vinyl store he can in order to add to his self-described "moderate" collection of about 900 records. Hopkins still has compact discs, but that's only because he couldn't find those albums on vinyl.
Hopkins isn't alone. There are thousands out there just like him, and many of them are too young to remember hearing Huey Lewis and the News skipping on their parents' old record players.
Those unfamiliar with vinyl records — commonly called LPs — should take a trip downtown to Love Garden, 936 Massachusetts St., where you can find a large quantity of new and used LPs and CDs. Kelly Corcoran, a manager at the locally-owned store, says that while the store sells twice as many used CDs as LPs, buyers like LPs in a different way. "CDs have become more and more disposable," Corcoran says. "Vinyl records are permanent artifacts." Corcoran adds that CDs have an average life span of 20 years, while LPs, with proper care, can last considerably longer.
Corcoran says more bands are recognizing the importance of having their music pressed on vinyl records, despite the fact that CDs are less expensive to make. "I'd say about 65 to 75 percent of albums on labels get pressed on LP at some point," says Corcoran. But it does cost more money than the average starving musician can afford. Acme Vinyl, a vinyl pressing company in Ontario, Canada, charges $1,045 to press and package 300 twelve-inch records. That price is average compared to the approximately 16 other vinyl-pressing companies in the United States and Canada.
Dungeon Replication, a smaller pressing company, relies on CD replication as well as vinyl pressing. Mike Yake, manager of the company based in Portland, Ore., says that while the bulk of its business is with CDs,vinyl
production has regained some popularity. He says much of this has to do with a growing hiphop and DJ culture. "DJing is a growing art form," says Yake, "so I think vinyl is just going to get more popular."
Justin Riley is a big part of that hip-hop and DJ culture. He has been a DJ for five years and has competed in several DJ competitions. "Back when I started out, you had to buy vinyl if you wanted to be a DJ." Now, Riley mainly enjoys the analog sound of vinyl. Riley says digital recordings don't get the full

wavelength in the frequency of sound like vinyl records do. He says that new technology, such as DVD-Audio, is close, but it's not affordable.
Chris Knudsen, El Dorado junior, is not big on mixing and scratching records, but he has recently become infatuated with vinyl. Most of his collection of about 200 records consists of albums from garage and punk bands, and most of them are new. "I'll buy a new LP the day it's released," says Knudsen. "Whereas, if I want a
new CD, I can wait months after it comes out because I know it'll still be out there."
Knudsen says there are three reasons why he buys vinyl. First, it's usually cheaper, unless you want to buy new imported records. Another reason is the artwork that comes with vinyl records is bigger. But the most important reason, Knudsen says, is it forces him to listen to the whole album. "I like to punish myself," says Knudsen. "With a CD, I can always easily skip tracks with the click of a remote. With vinyl, I have to manually lift the needle to change songs, and I'm just too lazy to do that."
People like Knudsen, Riley and Hopkins were raised on CDs. Everyone in their generation had to learn for themselves about vinyl records. Perhaps that's why
they're the most die-hard fans. These record fans see vinyl in a different light. "Vinyl records are lasting works of art," says Hopkins. "The people who sold their old records back in the early '90s are kicking themselves for it now."
Playing a record is more than just listening to music for Corcoran, who has a collection of about 1,500 records. "For me, playing a record is like a ceremony," says Corcoran. "You can see the grooves and spaces where the needle hits the record. You experience a better-quality
Soon Hopkins will return to the thrift shops and used music stores, hoping to find some new records that people have carelessly left behind. No amount of sneezing or shin pain can detract him from his search for a diamond in the rough — a once-discarded record that a new generation is growing to appreciate and treasure.
analog sound. You can watch the record spin in front of you. You can sit down and listen to the record, and do absolutely nothing else."

Cocktail of the week
The Mojito
The Mojito is a cold shower for the tongue that quenches the thirst of hot Havana nights and sweaty mambo dancers. The Mojito, which originated from Cuba in the
early 1900s, just recently gained popularity in the United States, although the likes of Ernest Hemingway sipped the refreshing cocktail years ago. With its simple and aromatic characteristics, this drink has now transformed itself into one of the hip, trend-setting drinks served at up-scales bars and restaurants. Most bars in Lawrence cannot fulfill your request for a Mojito because
it requires fresh mint springs to complete the drink, so before the last remaining days of summer come to a close, try a Mojito at Pachamama's at 2161 Quail Creek Dr.
Mojito:
2? oz. light rum
1 lime
1 tbsp. simple syrup

Omaha band The Good Life will kick off its tour at the Bottleneck this Saturday, September 18 in support of their latest releases: an EP, Loves Need Lawyers, and full-length album, Album of the Year. The all ages show is $7 and starts at 9 p.m. Be there or be square.
Interview with Ryan Fox, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist for The Good Life
So you kick off your tour in Lawrence on Saturday. What city are you most looking forward to playing in?
Fox: I always like San Francisco, Portland, New York — I'll say New York, because I get play there twice. And I want to buy some new shoes. I think have the best chance of finding new shoes in New York.
I was trying to trick you into saying Lawrence, but that ok. Speaking of tricks, do you believe in Leprechauns?
Fox: Only in cereal boxes. Otherwise, no.
If you were a superhero, what would you want your powers to be?
When was the last time you went to Hooters?
**Fox:** I would want to be invisible. I think it'd be fun to sort of be a spy, in lots of ways.
Fox! I don't know that I've ever been there, I don't know. On our last tour, in Atlanta, we went to this strip bar in the afternoon. There were these middle-aged sort of lumpy women, not really attractive but kind of sweet. That was really not sexy at all. That's sort of like that. --
Who do you think would win in a fight; a pirate or a ninja?
**Fox:** I know that I'm going to get in trouble if I say the wrong thing. A robot.
Not to be morbid, but what song do you want played at your funeral?
Fox: Either "Time" by Tom Waits, or "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" by Leonard Cohen. Or "Back in Black" by AC/DC.
Say you were stranded on a desert island with your band, who'd be the first one you ate?
Fox: There's not a lot of flesh on any of us. Well, maybe Tim (Kasher, The Good Life lead singer) for his belly.
What do you think is the most annoying sound in the world?
Fox: I was going to say an overzealous drummer just before sound check, so that could be option A. Or I think babies crying on airplanes — on a plane back from Europe once, Roger (Lewis, The Good life drummer) and I sat behind this infant that cried. He had a cry-a-thon for 2 hours, it was miserable.
If you could make out with anyone in the world, who would it be?
**Fox:** This crazy gypsy girl I know in Florida. Either her or Condoleza Rice — I don't know, I don't even know if I know what she looks like, but she seems like she needs it.
For those who haven't seen you guys live, give me three words to describe what to expect on Saturday night:
Fox: Drunk. Unm ... (Thinks for a very long time)
Drunk entertainment jamboree foolish knock down drag out good time.
You cheated, but I'll let you slide.

Ode to Jude
100
The release of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, begins the reign of Jude Law. Beginning tomorrow, Jude Law will be seen or heard in six movies from now until Christmas. And I welcome him. With two Oscar nominations and a face that begs for sweet kisses, Jude has proven he is worthy of devotion. To show my own devotion, I rated
his upcoming projects, by viewing trailers and reading synopses, on their level of Judeness. Because if any one is worthy of an ode, it is Jude Law.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Release Date: September 17
A highly stylized, '40s-era sci-fi adventure? Not Law's usual cup of tea. To some it may look too stylized, stylized enough to enter into cheese territory, but to me it looks like a lot of fun. I have faith in the cast of Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Jude himself. My only concern is the futuristic tint the film has may gloss over

Jude's most promising offerings this fall.

Another ensemble piece, however this one looks a bit more like the type of film Jude has been drawn to in the past. The trailer shows two couples: Jude and Natalie Portman and Julia Roberts and Clive Owen scheming and seducing each other. Directed by Mike Nichols, this is probably the best piece on Jude's plate and I cannot wait.
Overall Judeness: ★★★★
The Aviator
Release Date: December 17
True, this is really Leonardo DiCaprio's show but it is worth mentioning Jude's cameo as the swashbuckling great Errol Flynn.
In the trailer just a snippet of Jude in a tux is enough to seal the deal, as if Leo wasn't enough.

This one is a bit of a cheat, but Jude did contribute something to this Jim Carrey rendition of the popular kiddie books. He is the title character for god's sake so I'm counting it for mere presence of voice.
He narrates the tale and listening to his voice for the

THX-1138
(☆☆☆)
R, 95 minutes, South Wind 12
Six years before Star Wars, George Lucas directed this terrifically cynical feature, his first in a career that would see just four more in 30 years. Of the five, THX-1138 is Lucas's most complete film, an experimental science-fiction spectacle that provides a glimpse at an altogether different filmmaking path for the beloved visionary.
THX is set in a dystopian future where the Department of Biological Flow keeps the citizenry heavily medicated. Structured in the timeless fashion of George Orwell's 1984, the plot concerns THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie), humans selected by a computer to be roommates whose feelings for one another threaten the system. THX is charged with "drug evasion" and "malicious sexual perversion" and put away in a formless prison of endless white light, where he meets up with SEN
5241 (Donald Pleasance) and plans his escape. Pleasance's performance as the humorous and anarchical SEN closely resembles Brad Pitt's Oscar-nominated turn in 12 Monkeys.
This remastered version of THX-1138 shows Lucas as one of our most gifted visual storytellers. Escalators and parking garages become astounding technological feats within his camera frame, and the climax, where robot police hunt down THX on motorcycles, is perhaps the most brilliantly edited chase sequence ever.
Lucas went on to direct square popcorn entertainments like American Graffiti and Star Wars, abandoning the cynicism and chilly satiere of his first film. In THX, the Dark Side wins, human zombies with shaved heads say "That was very funny" instead of laughing and machines tell consumers to "Buy, buy more now, and be happy!" This is a bold and politically subversive vision. As the American Empire revels in self-delusion, we need this George Lucas now more than ever.

Resident Evil:
Apocalypse
(✩)
R. 1 hour 33 minutes, South Wind 12
While the first Resident Evil movie was crap, it was watchable crap. There is a theory that there will never be a good movie that is based on a video game. Resident Evil: Apocalypse gives us no reason to think there ever will be. Like its predecessor, the second movie is crap, too. Just not as watchable.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Revenge
and
Apocalypse
begins with a summary of what the first movie has told us. The Umbrella Coporation is the largest and most powerful in the world, and conducts secret experiments involving a virus that reanimates dead tissue in an underground lab under Raccoon City. Somehow, in a way that is never really explained, the people of Raccoon City become infected with this virus and become the walking dead, taking a chomp out of anyone left alive. Umbrella steps in and quarantines the city, leaving infected and noninfected to fend for themselves while evil men with German accents and business suits take the opportunity to study the effects of their precious virus. We
are introduced to several survivors, most notably Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory, looking pretty good) and Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr of the Mummy movies). Both of these characters are straight out of the
video games, which is obvious because they are just as two dimensional. Alice (Milla Jovovich), the heroine from the first movie, is back after being kidnapped and genetically altered by the corporation as a part of an experiment.
It is no surprise that Apocalypse is made of scenes designed to give the characters things to shoot at. Guillory and Olivera
both have likable, charismatic personalities, as cliché as they are, and it is fun sometimes to watch them play bad asses. But the movie is too many set pieces without any exposition. We watch the characters going through these motions, but we're not sure why we should care. The movie is over-edited, so even if this movie had the potential to be nothing but entertaining action, the cuts are so quick you can't tell what's going on half of the time. It's not really a disappointment that this is not a good movie, because expectations for a movie based on a game can't be that high, anyway.

Spiderbait
Tonight Alright
Veteran Aussie rockers Spiderbait have been kicking out noisy, innocuous jams down under for nearly a decade, but with Tonight Alright the band becomes the latest Oz export to release a major label stateside debut. Unfortunately, their initial assault on the American airwaves is via a remake of Ram Jam's "Black Betty," southern rocksploitation so vile it should never be covered by anyone, especially an Australian three-piece with an affection for droning, robotic guitars and electric drum kits. If the guys and girl in the band ever feel the burning sting of shame for this song, it's deserved, but
they can at least take comfort that they didn't write it.
The majority of the tracks on Tonight Alrightare hurried and mono-riffic, like a compressed Black Sabbath had Tony lommi been a c苡ffenated robot. Songs like "Alright" and "Put It Down" blur together in uninventive repetition. The hope for the album lies in near popy deviations led by female bassist/vocalist Janet English.On "Cows" and "Live In A Box" she bounces new-wavey vocals amongst the band's mechanized noise. Tonight Alright would have been infinitely more accessible and worthwhile had English added her pogo-flair to the entire album.
the album.
Tonight Alright has a few bright spots,
but they're buried amongst a sound too tepid to shine through. Spiderbait has made a mundane, recycled album with little creativity or drive to do something that wouldn't sound out of place on the modern rock radio of the regrettable 90's.

Terror Squad True Story
It was less than a year ago when Fat Joe was overheard loudly contemplating retiring from the rap scene. Tipping the scales at around 400 pounds. Joe had somehow managed to be worth his weight in gold records off of a string of hit singles with Murder Inc., most notably his Tina Turner transformation "What's Luv?" Pretty good for being the second-best obese Latino rhymer from the Bronx (behind the late Big Pun).
Instead of retreating, Joe has decided to resuscitate his long dormant Terror Squad \ in an apparent bid to capitalize on the Bush "War on Terror" with a series of aural assaults on the dance floor.
The squad was originally notable as the one group with the problem of fitting both Joe and Pun into their tour bus, but the new incarnation boasts lineup that would be barely recognizable by the few remaining fans of the group's '99 debut. All that remains are tracks bursting at the seams with empty threats and gangsta braved, but all too light in the hot beats
department.
It's a good thing that the albums first (and possibly only) single is more than worth the price of admission. "Lean Back," fuels intense dance floor fanatism, touting an insurgent groove that appropriates a hypnotizing belly-dancing riff psychologically calibrated to inspire clubland rapture.
The track is peerless on this record, although the regal trumpeting and run-on sentence style of "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is remarkable. The rest is filler, pure and simple, an excuse to add one more hot single to the Fat Joe discography. If he keeps stumbling on bangers such as "Lean Back," though, let's hope he comes out of retirement every three years.
Grade: C+
If you got down with this download the Hispanic remix of "Lean Back" (but shhhh! don't tell anyone I told you to...) or if you must buy something, shell out the cash for Angie Martinez's Animal House.

Mega Man: Anniversary Collection for Playstation 2
Happy anniversary, Mega Man
The Blue Bomber...what else can I say?! It's the BLUE BOMBER! This game is a classic name in all gamer vocab, and Capcom knows it. No new plot twist for this Mega Man game. This is a celebration, and for 15 years, Mega Man has been saving the world from evil, and he can't even drive yet. Mega Man: Anniversary Collection is a cornucopia of old school Mega Man titles on multiple systems.
For the birthday festivities, the Anniversary Collection has packed 10 Mega Man titles into one disc. As you play the games, the auto-save feature saves your progress. However, if you quit and load your previous data, you can only go back to the Mega Man title you were playing when you left. So sorry, but it seems players still aren't safe from getting out the old pen and paper and writing down the passwords for each defeated Robot Master.
The graphics from the first six MegaMan games bring back certain nostalgia
from the regular Nintendo, so there's nothing really new to expect in that department. Good news though, players don't have to worry about screens getting blurry and messing up like the old Nintendo, and players won't have to spend minutes blowing into a cartridge hoping it will work properly.
in the end, 10 games for the price of one is genius. This isn't just for Mega Man, but it is a present for all Mega Man gamers who have stayed loyal to the series all these years. And at a starting price of only $30, which I couldn't believe at first, it's a good title to have in your collection. Forget dusting off your old cartridges, the Blue Bomber is still alive and saving the world. Grade:B

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike for Nintendo Gamecube
Yet another game I've wanted in my personal collection for a long time. When I first saw this game in a gaming store, I soon began a two-year search for it. Street
Fighter still remains a giant in fighting titles. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike for the Sega Dreamcast is a hard find, but worth the search.
The cast has drastically changed, but the story is still the same. Characters from around the world have come together in an all-out brawl to show who is the best fighter. This Street Fighter title has more of the Street Fighter Alpha background in it. In the Alpha series, each character had gauges below them that allowing them to unleash devastating Super Combos. The big difference now is that players can only pick one Super Combo Move for each fight. However each character's Super Combo differs in strength and how many times you can utilize it when the gauge is filled. But it works itself out that way. Moves may not be as powerful, but because you can use it three times when the gauge is filled, you can hit in rapid succession easily weakening your opponent.
The graphics in $3^{rd}$ Strike have come a long way since Street Fighter's beginnings. The characters have great animation and their movements, fighting moves and special techniques are done in fluid motion. One great example is Elena with her Capoeira fighting style. Her basic movements for the style are done spectacularly and don't miss a beat. Also the backgrounds for the fighting stages are more detailed and add to the visual effect such as birds in the background and on-looking watching the fights. For the first time ever, players have an option of who they can fight next. The game gives you a choice between two characters to fight, giving them a type of strategic decision. You can gauge your skills and see which opponent to battle. You can go for an easy fight or take the high road and go after the more difficult opponent.
Street Fighter is a titan in fighting game titles for a reason. Its games have few flaws and they get better with time. I also appreciate that Capcom has brought it back to its two dimensional roots. After 15 years, Street Fighter is still the best in fighting.

Teaching tolerance learning patience Sometimes the process is different from the plan.
My daughter is playing in the park with another little girl. They're chatting in their little toddler voices, my daughter in Englittle toucher voice, lish and her friend in Spanish. Both understand the other, but neither will leave the safety zone of her native tongue. I'm desperately hoping my child will make the leap to the less familiar language I have worked with her so hard on, but she can't be bothered. And both are too busy digging in the sand to care or even notice.

town in rural karawang up, diversity consisted mainly of a white middle class and white trash. Politically, we had Republicans and those who didn't share their opinions. The only homosexuals I'd ever known were friends of my mom, and even they never formally came out, at least not to the rest of the town. The way I saw most adults treat something new and uncomfortable was to ignore it. If something or someone is different, we should just pretend they're

same." I, on the other hand, did
not want to pretend everyone
was the same. I was fascinated
with other cultures, religions
and lifestyles.
When my daughter was born, I was set on making her a citizen of the world. My aspirations were high. I was determined to make her bilingual before she turned three. Hello World! -Greetings in 42 Languages would be her favorite bedtime read. We looked at books
and watched videos in English and Spanish. When she was a baby, she would sit in her walker and coo to the sounds of "vacas" mooing and "ovejas" baaing. I would smile knowing she was secretly formulating a plan for world peace. I wanted to teach her more languages, and my husband was worried I might be putting a little too much pressure on a six-month-old. But teaching a child another language is the easy part, getting it to
speak it is much more difficult. At two years old she would sit and watch a thirty minute foreign-language video,but afterwards when I would ask her to use her Spanish words she would refuse indignantly.
Not to be discouraged, I wanted to teach my daughter about different religions. I wanted her to have the information, so that when she was older, she could follow the ideas that made the most sense to her. But I soon realized how difficult this would be when I ventured through Borders and could not find a single children's book or video about Hinduism, Islam or Buddhism. My daughter already had a few books about Christianity and a couple that qualify as Jewish, but because I didn't want to tilt the religion wheel in any direction, I started making up stories about the little I knew of other faiths. And what do you suppose my ungrateful toddler asks me with wide blue eyes after I begin one of my well-researched stories about a young Sidhartha Gautama? "Mommy, can we be done with that story? Let's read The Poky Little Puppy."
Naturally curious, my daughter is not afraid to ask me, loudly, why someone doesn't have an arm, has tattoos, or as she asked me recently at Pet World, why the lady standing next to us is made of chocolate. But at her age, someone having two mommies seems no more radical an idea than when she asked me why her male classmates had penises.
male classmates had perished. I will continue to expose my daughter to new types of people and give her what ever information she wants to know that I think is appropriate for her age. I hope she continues to ask me questions about our differences, and I hope I can always answer them. I will tell her that not everyone is the same, and that's wonderful. But I will also tell her everyone deserves love.
I will also tell her every time. Admittedly, I'm not a perfect mother. As you read this, I may be causing serious emotional damage by using the wrong potty-training method. And not long ago my daughter used a well-placed explelive at school. But I am proud of how I'm raising my daughter, and when people from my hometown comment on my "out-there" parenting methods, I smile and thank them.

It's been a week of highs and lows for Kansas' women's soccer team.
Kansas Women's Basketball The team hit an all-time high on Saturday with a road victory against then No. 7 Clemson. Then it hit a season low with their first loss of the year Tuesday at No. 11 Illinois.
The team's overall focus went from high to low as well, and is one of the main reasons it lost at Illinois, coach Mark Francis said.
Mark Francois wrote, "The win on Saturday was a big one, but I think we obviously had a let down against Illinois," Francis said. "I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but we didn't show up to play our best game and consequently lost."
Francis said it's hard to know how a team will react to its first loss. Francis
"It obviously sucks to lose a game,but it's something we

to help recover from an injury.
The soccer team failed to score a goal for the first time this season Tuesday, but don't look for the team to make any drastic changes in its offensive strategy.
Tomorrow's 5 p.m. home game should be a true indicator of how good the team can play. They will be ready to prove their victory over Clemson was no fluke.
"I think it's good that we don't have to wait very long to play our next game," senior goalie Meghan Miller said.
Instead, the team is treating its first loss as a wake-up call, and is making a major attitude adjustment.
"It obviously sucks to lose a game, but it's something we needed to feel." Miller said. "But we don't want to feel that way again for a while. We will bring our A-game on Friday."
Francis gave his team the day off yesterday to help recover from the road trip.

Tennis team shows potential
New coach, players enthusiastic about upcoming season

"We are working hard every day as if we're preparing for a national championship." Hall-Holt said.
As the Kansas women's tennis team prepares for the fall season, Amy Hall-Holt is entering her second year as the team's coach. If her polished demeanor and work ethic are any indication, the Jayhawks are headed for a successful year.
Hall-Holt is in her eighth year with the Kansas program. She spent six seasons as an assistant before being named coach in the summer of 2003.
Though the Jayhawks struggled last year with a 7-16 record, they enter this season with a team that looks to recapture the success Kansas tennis has known in the past. In Hall-Holt's first year as an assistant, for example, she helped lead Kansas to the Central Regional Championship and an appearance in the round of 16 at the NCAA Championships.
With some young talent coming in and the addition of assistant coach Frank Polito, there is no reason to believe that Kansas won't find success this year.
this year. Polito, a former assistant at Kansas in 1996, returns as a proven coach. In 2002, Polito was named the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Midwest Region Coach of the Year while he was an assistant coach as Ohio State. He has held coaching positions for the tennis teams at the University of Akron and the University of Louisiana at Monroe. A solid motivator and teacher of the game, Polito will be looked upon to provide the energy necessary to propel the Jayhawks.
"Frank is an outstanding coach," Hall-Holt said. "He brings with him a great knowledge of the game and tremendous energy."
Two weeks ago marked the first official practice of the fall season. Polito maneuvered between courts and surveyed the players, encouraging their effort.
"It's all about hard work," Polito said. "Talent does not win you matches. You have to work hard."
The coaches have been working the players hard during practices, and the plavers are responding.
players are responding "The whole team is putting in the effort," said junior Christine Skoda. "Coach Polito's presence is certainly felt. He serves as a great motivator."
Skoda is in her third year with the squad and will be looked upon to provide the leadership role for a team that lost three seniors — Emily Haylock, Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock— to graduation.
"Luiza has put in a lot of time in the offseason with the trainers and has really improved, especially with her footwork," Hall-Holt said.
Along with Skoda, junior Luiza Loureiro has potential to do great things this season.

At 6:30 this morning, most University of Kansas students were still tucked away in bed, but not Aly Colver or the rest of the Kansas swimming and diving team.

nature, Colver plays a loud role on the team.
Not only is she one of the top performers for the Jayhawks, but her confidence, class and dedication make her a role model to her teammates, said swimming coach Clark Campbell.
"Aly is one of those athletes every coach wants on a team — a quite leader who leads with her work ethic," he said. "Every season we have worked on her freestyle technique, and now the stroke is coming together. Aly is poised to have an excellent senior season."

"Coming from such a small town, I never really knew what a team was like," she said. "There is so much dependency and support from one another."
After growing up in Holyoke, a town of only 2,000 people, the University was a big adjustment for Colver.
Working together as a unit is not always easy in a sport that is often individualized, but it is an important aspect for the jayhawks.
But with an almost perfect grade point average, Colver has been recognized for her academic efforts as well, earning a spot on the inaugural Academic All-Big 12 team her sophomore year and following it up with a repeat performance her junior year.
Swimming anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 yards a day, or three to four miles, it is hard to imagine Colver doing anything but swimming.

Twin dancers best friends, depend on each other
---
Twins. That's all you have to say now and men begin to salivate, thinking of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Coors beer commercials.
Kansas has its own special set of twins: Erin and Kristen Maxwell, the captains of the Rock Chalk Dance Team, formerly the Crimson Girls. The two are inseparable. Friends say they can't live without each other. They share the same computer, car and room. They joke about each having half a brain, and they finish each other's sentences — so much that it was hard to get in an interview.

He isn't planning on coming home anytime soon.
Last Sunday the 40-year-old Tonganoxie native and University of Kansas student left the University for 45 days of training before going to Kuwait with Topeka's 74th Quartermaster Company. He will be supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom, which generally refers to U.S. military activities in Iraq.
He has long been a member of a branch of defense. He's been in the Air Force, the Kansas Air National Guard and the Kansas Army National Guard, where his contract expired in 2001.

He re-enlisted in October 2003 because he wanted to see what he could do to stop terrorism after Sept. 11.
VanCleave got his call to duty last April. He's been researching the people and the culture of the Middle East online and by asking troops in the area questions. He has heard the weather is excruciatingly hot and the general reception from Iraqi citizens is positive.
While in the Middle East, VanCleave's company will take care of general supply needs, including water purification, and fuel and general supply distribution and storage. He doesn't know the specifics of what his job will entail.

Board of Regents allocates money for repairs, approves doctorate degree
The Kansas Board of Regents allocated $320,058 for maintenance and approved a doctorate degree in public administration at the University of Kansas yesterday.
With the approval of the Regents, the University will be allocated $320,058 for necessary repairs and maintenance, including tunnel improvements, new fuel storage tanks and maintenance on Twente Hall, which is located south of Watson Library.
Anthropology The requests for the new degree and the fund allocations were items on the agenda at the Board of Regents monthly meeting yesterday.
Watson Library. Twente Hall houses the School of Social Welfare and the Biological Anthropology Lab.
All items were approved with minimal challenge, and the request for the new doctorate degree in public administration was the only item on the agenda that prompted questions from the Regents.
Regents. Donna Shank, vice chairwoman for the Board of Regents, expressed concern over the small number of students in the public administration program.
About 50 students are enrolled in the bachelor's degree program and 60 are enrolled in the master's degree progran.
George Frederickson, professor of public administration, said in an interview that other departments like the department of linguistics were also small but offered doctorate degrees
The program is known for excellence, said Kim Wilcox, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences.
"We don't want to jeopardize that quality," Frederickson said.
The Regents also approved the allocation of proceeds from the Crumbling Classrooms bond to Kansas state universities.

'Hawks practice with soaked balls, want to avenge last year's rainy loss
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Junior offensive lineman Matt Thompson said the only difference between preparing for a road game as opposed to a home game was that the offense would wear white jerseys instead of the blue ones.
But as the football team prepares to travel to Northwestern for its first away game of the season, coach Mark Mangino said it would do something a bit out of the norm at practice.
"I know we are going to throw wet balls." Mangino said. "Whether it is 110 and dry in Evanston, I can guarantee you that."

Mangino's insistence on practicing with wet footballs dates back to last year's 28-20 home opening loss against Northwestern that was played in constant rain. The rain spoiled the Jayhawks' 2003 season-opener and caused former Kansas

University looking for new academic logo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — The ubiquitous Jayhawk isn't going anywhere, and neither is the official seal, but as the University of Kansas gears up for a marketing campaign it wants a new logo to use on academic materials.
The University seal features Moses and the burning bush, and an inscription in Latin. "I will see this great sight — why the bush is not burned." David Johnson, the University's marketing director, said the symbolism is that like the bush that burns but is not consumed, the quest for knowledge never ends.
A recent "visual identity survey" that drew more than 7,000 responses showed that while people thought the official seal to be prestigious, traditional, scholarly and formal, a significant number also considered it confusing.
seal will be reserved for ceremonial occasions, the University will probably get a new logo for its academic material.
That means that while the
"The immediate association to scholarly activity isn't readily apparent," Johnston said.
The visual identity team is just part of the University's new integrated marketing plan. It has committees studying how to increase state funding, explain the benefits of a public university to Kansas and the nearby Kansas City area, and to enhance recruitment.
He said the University, which paid Carnegie Communications of Westford, Mass., $32,000 for the survey, would hire an outside firm to design a new logo.
"Whatever we do has to coordinate with existing symbols," Johnston said. "We're not getting rid of the seal, and we're not going to touch the Jayhawk."
representing the various units of the University is counterproductive to marketing efforts. The new logo will be included in what Johnston calls a "toolbox" of templates and graphics for the faculty and staff to use in designing materials.
The survey covered alumni, faculty and staff and current and prospective students. The most common word the responders used to describe the seal was "traditional" while the most common description for the Jayhawk cartoon figure symbolizing the Kansas athletic teams was "fun."
University officials have raised concerns that the variety of images, Web site designs, typefaces and colors
Almost two-thirds of alumni indicated the Campanile was the campus landmark they remembered
most fondly, while 39 percent said Allen Fieldhouse.
Nearly half of alumni said the "Rock Chalk" chant was the University tradition they remembered most fondly.
Johnston admitted that most of the answers were predictable.
"There weren't things that shocked us, necessarily," he said. "A lot of it was, 'Hey, people like the Jayhawk.' But we needed to determine what values people associate, that people largely associate the Jayhawk with athletics. We know the Jayhawk fulfills a specific communication niche."
The seal also fits a certain niche, he said, and now the University hopes to fill the void between the two with a new logo. He said officials should review the images by the end of the semester, with a final set of graphics available by the end of the academic year.

DENVER — Authorities decided soon after the Columbine High School massacre to withhold a document showing deputies knew one of the killers had been accused two years earlier of making death threats and building pipe bombs, according to a grand jury report released yesterday.
Ti do
The grand jury also said it was "troubled" by still-missing the deadliest school attack in U.S. history. But it did not hand up any indictments, closing at least the third investigation that has elected not to place any blame for the slaughter of 13 people by suicidal teens Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.
Victims' families said the report confirmed their suspicions that the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office covered up mistakes that could have led authorities to the killers as much as two years before the attack.
The grand jury said it didn't hand up any indictments because all the witnesses claimed to know nothing about the missing sheriff's records. The records involved a draft search warrant for Harris' house a year before the attack.

The King of Monsters celebrates its golden anniversary this year, and two University of Kansas employees are helping throw the party.

During semester campus gridlock should ease
Get a tight grip on your bag, hold your breath and prepare to be jostled. You are not walking down a street in New York City - you are trying to get through Jayhawk Boulevard in a state known for its wide open prairies.
We all heard last semester that enrollment was up but thought we would not notice the effects. A glance to Wescoe Beach on any given day proves this wrong.
Additional students are everywhere, all the time. There is no longer a "safe hour" as there once was after about 2:30 p.m. when you could walk down the boulevard in peace and without twisting your body into a pretzel to navigate the after-class crowds. Add that to continuing construction by the Kansas Union, and you get a recipe for contortion and gridlock.
Jayhawk Boulevard is not the only place on campus where the influx of new students can be experienced. Parking anywhere relatively near your classes is now an unreachable dream. In fact, you are lucky if you can even park between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at all. Granted, this is a problem we experience every year, but somehow it seems worse this time.
Not all aspects of having additional students are negative. The more the merrier. There are more of
us to fill the stadium, more of us paying tuition and more, eventually, walking down the hill with diplomas. With more people around, there is an opportunity for greater diversity and even a larger social circle. It just would be nice to be a little more comfortable on campus in the process.
campus in the process There are some changes happening that should help the congestion. When the Underground opens in the former Wescoe Terrace, the crowd on Wescoe Beach should lessen.
lessen. As long as the University is aware of the additional students and the wear and tear this creates on the buildings and facilities and adapts to accommodate, there won't be a problem. However, if the University is hoping to get by with what we have currently, we are in for some trouble.
Not all of us are New Yorkers, and sharing so much personal space with others can be intimidating for those of us from the roomy and open Midwest. But times are changing on campus, and we, just as the University must adapt.
Facing the jostling of the boulevard is something we can deal with at the moment. But being up close and personal with everyone all the time is bound to bring people closer than they are comfortable without changes in the future.

Dole Institute exceeds expectations
Call me cynical, but when I first learned the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics was to open at the University of Kansas in the summer of 2003, I hardly cared enough to shrug. "That's nice," I thought. "So Bob Dole is getting a monument on campus that we're going to call an institute." Even as a political science major, I didn't buy the idea that the Dole Institute would be a place I would want to go.
GUEST COMMENTARY
And as a member of the Kansan Editorial Board in Fall 2003 after the Dole Institute's summer opening, I was still unmoved. On the board we often questioned how the Dole Institute would benefit us, the students. What was its real purpose? To promote citizenship? Yeah, OK.
But now, just more than a year later, I am willing to withdraw my skepticism. In its first year, the Dole Institute has had two high-profile politicians speak, and I, for one, am grateful.

speak, and 1, for only one. Most of us remember and many of us were in attendance at former President Bill Clinton's speech at Allen Fieldhouse last May. And just this week, the Dole Institute brought former Sen. George McGovern (D-S.D.) to the Lied Center where he received the Dole Leadership Prize and gave a speech. Both of these events were free and open to the public.

arranged for McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee who lost to incumbent Richard Nixon, to speak with students Tuesday in a classroom setting. I was one of those lucky students. Being able to interact with someone I read about in my eighth grade textbook was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I only wish more students could have been there.

been Democrats when the Dole Institute's namesake is one of Kansas' most famous Republicans. In a time when the rhetoric of U.S. politics is anything but moderate, the Dole Institute's commitment to bipartisanship is not only respectable, but rare.
According to its Web site, www.dole institute.org, the Dole Institute was established "to encourage both historical scholarship and fresh thinking about public policy issues; and to promote greater student and citizen involvement in the democratic process." From my perspective, the Dole Institute is living up to that mission.
Bringing in prominent politicians for the people of the Lawrence and University communities does more than elevate the University's image. It fosters discussion, learning and, most importantly, thinking. Having the opportunity to see our nation's leaders in person is one that everyone should seize, regardless of whether you agree with them politically.
So, thank you Dole Institute, for proving me wrong. Your presence on the University campus has enhanced my education. Keep up the good work.
Lovett is a Kansas City, Mo., senior in journalism and political science.
Road to success requires effort
To me, there are two types of success in college, in and outside of the classroom. In the classroom, we have several responsibilities: sit in the front of the class, take notes, and listen attentively to the woes of the professor, GTA or whomever is sharing their knowledge with the class. However, this ain't high school, so tack on reading, studying and writing term papers on a regular basis and we find ourselves flying down the interstate at 80 miles per hour, barely keeping up.
SUSAN HENRY opinion@kansan.com
In any journey, there are highways and byways, turnpikes and private drives. The path that we take in college is up to each individual. I wish that I could say that there is a one-way strip to academic success with no possibility of taking a wrong turn or getting lost. Instead, I'll try to give a few suggestions to avoid the detours to academic success.
To keep up with the hustle and bustle, I have found a few activities that work well for me when studying. No one likes to study, especially not for hours at a time. So pace yourself

road divides. The best advice that I was given as a new student was to get involved; join a club, get a job, play a sport, start an organization, volunteer, join a fraternity/sorority. Do something that you enjoy. We are all here for an education; don't get me wrong. An organization, club, team or job can add so much to your KU experience. The majority of things that I have learned while in college, I did not learn in a classroom. Textbooks and handouts will never successfully teach how different people interact together or communicate.
Life experiences are what make individuals unique. Yes, school is the most important component of college. But don't forget to live a little between study sessions.
Either by highway or byway, turnpike or private drive, academic success is a journey that all KU students take together. Some will make the trip quickly, while others may take the scenic route. The University of Kansas offers many different opportunities to ensure success in and out of the classroom. I hope you took advantage of Academic Success Week and continue to take advantage of your time at the University to work hard and find something fun, too. Pack your bags for next semester. It doesn't have to be a bumpy road: you decide.

Report: Saddam wanted weapons
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Drafts of a report from the top U.S. inspector in Iraq conclude there were no weapons stockpiles, but say there are signs the fallen Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had dormant programs he hoped to revive at a later time, according to people familiar with the findings.
In a 1,500-page report, the head of the Iraq Survey Group, Charles Duelier, will find Saddam was importing banned materials, working on unmanned aerial vehicles in violation of U.N. agreements and maintaining a dual-use industrial sector that could produce weapons.
As Duelfer puts the finishing touches on his report, he concludes Saddam had intentions of restarting weapons programs at some point, after suspicion and inspections from the international community waned.
Duelfer also says Iraq only had small research and development programs for chemical and biological weapons.
After a year and a half in Iraq, however, the United States has found no weapons of mass destruction — its chief argument for overthrowing the regime.
An intelligence official said Duelfer could wrap up the report as soon as this month. Those who discussed the report inside and outside the government did so on the condition of anonymity because it contains classified material and is not yet completed.
The report is expected to be similar to findings reported by Duelfer's predecessor, David Kay, who presented an interim report to Congress in October. Kay left the post in January, saying, "We were almost all wrong" about Saddam's weapons programs.
grams.
Duelfer's report, however, is expected to fall between the position of the Bush administration before the war — portraying Saddam as a grave threat — and the declarative statements Kay made after he resigned.
Survey Group had only uncovered limited evidence of secret chemical and biological weapons programs, but he found substantial evidence of an Iraqi push to boost the range of its ballistic missiles beyond prohibited ranges.
It will also add more evidence and flesh out Kay's October findings. Then, Kay said the Iraq

He also said there was almost no sign that a significant nuclear weapons project was under way.

For instance, U.S. officials are still investigating whether Saddam's fallen regime may have sent chemical weapons equipment and several billion dollars over the border to Syria. That has not been confirmed, but remains an area of interest to the U.S. government.

"It's always more fun to go into a place where there are tons of screaming fans and quiet them down." Barmann said. "It is fun to play in front of crowds like that whether it is big or small."
The crowd in Evanston, Ill. may be one of the smaller crowds the Jayhawks face on the road this season. Classes at Northwestern do not start until Monday, so many students won't be on campus.
"I think that will have an impact because I know how great our student section is and what they mean to our stadium and our players," Mangino said
The Jayhawks have never played at Ryan Field in Evanston, Ill. Mangino said he had only been there once -- stopping there while on vacation. Because of the unfamiliarity with the field, Mangino said the team would go to Ryan Field today when it got off of the plane.

Libero position changing again
Player now allowed to serve ball

The role of the libero, whose jersey color is different than the rest of the team, is confined mainly to defense. She digs the ball, then communicates to the front line where the ball should go.
Take this scene from last Saturday's Kansas sweep of the Denver Pioneers:
Junior setter Andi Rozum then passes the ball at least 20 feet in the air. Dorsey, recovered from her dive, analyzes Denver's defense in a split-second and yells, "middle, middle, middle!"
Denver's serve lands near the 10-foot line on the Kansas side of the court. Dorsey dives on her right side, knocking the ball in the air with one hand.
Junior middle blocker Josi Lima, already running toward the net, adjusts her spike to land in the middle of the opponents' side, where, as Dorsey predicted, no Pioneer was able to defend. Point Jayhawks.

ment.
"I am basically the defensive-specific role on the court," Dorsey said. "But also, I'm kind of a start to the offensive play. My main focus is service reception."
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said, ideally the libero would always have the first hit.
She would pass to the setter who feeds to the middle, outside and opposite hitters, who hit the ball over the net.
It doesn't always work that way. Tuesday night against Missouri-Kansas City, Rozum was forced to make several digs as UMKC frequently tapped the ball just over the net, Bechard said.
Regardless, Dorsey led the team in digs, as she has in every match this season.
"I'm not allowed to jump." Dorsey said. "I can't attack, meaning I can't play the ball above the plane of the net."
The libero does not score points; she only prevents them.
Dorsey's career high for kills is one. She reached the mark twice during her freshman year before college volleyball installed the libero.
The NCAA adopted the libero from international rules in 2002. Now the position is changing again. For the first time, the libero is allowed to serve, and Dorsey is taking full advantage. She is second on the team with 11 service aces.
She started during the 2001 season as a defensive specialist.
But her most impressive statistic, naturally, is digs. She has 123 in eight matches, bringing

To do so, Dorsey will have to surpass her 2003 total of 455.

Family donates to build hall and show love
today, he said.
His parents, Gilbert and Betty Booth, were also huge fans of the University of Kansas. That is one of the reasons that their children and grandchildren committed more than $4 million for the Kansas Hall of Athletics at Allen Fieldhouse.
David Booth remembers one of the first Kansas football games ever televised. Kansas played Syracuse in the fall of 1960, and as a high school player, he got to watch his idol, former Kansas quarterback John Hadl.
quarterback john "He was one of my heroes growing up, and he still is today" he said.
The donation will help fund the construction of the Hall of Athletics, which will be built on the east side of the fieldhouse.
It will contain memorabilia from 100 years of Kansas athletics and recognize the accomplishments of former Kansas athletes. The hall, expected to be complete in 2005, will also include a ticket office and a store.

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
The family came up with the idea about a year ago as a way to show its love for the University, David Booth said. The Booths moved to Lawrence in 1959, when they lived down the street from the fieldhouse at 1931 Naismith Drive. All three Booth children attended college at the University.
Booth said he wanted the family's donation to inspire other alumni to make contributions.
"When you look at KU, we have loyal fans, but we don't have a lot of financial support," he said.
In order for the University to have competitive athletic facilities in the Big 12 Conference, more alumni have to contribute, Booth said.
"We wanted to have a big plaque up in the Hall of Athletics for our parents," Booth said.
Booth said his parents would have given money to the University, but they did not have the financial capabilities.
The plaque will hang inside
the hall. Booth said all of the family members and their children would come back when the hall opened.
David and Suzanne Booth and children, who live in Los Angeles; Mark and Lauren Booth and their children, who live in London; and Mark and Jane Booth Berkley of Tescott and their children.
There are three Booth families making donations to the Kansas University Endowment Association.
David Booth, whose children are ages 7 and 14, said he hoped his children would follow in the family's footsteps and attend college at the University.
FLAG FOOTBALL: Sigma Nu get three touchdowns in last half
- Edited by Bill Cross
Team Kearney 04's next possession, which included another flag-guarding penalty, was unproductive and the team punted the ball away.
time training. Sigma Nu-1 started with the ball in the second half and began by almost throwing an interception. Team Kearney '04 sacked Sigma Nu-1 quarterback Nick Nemer, Omaha, Neb., freshman, but Nemer came back, completing four passes to advance to the 8-yard line. He then faked a pass and ran the ball in for a touchdown. After quickly earning the extra point, the game was tied, 7-7.
Sigma Nu-1 took control of the football with about 3:30 left in the half. Tempers started to heat up as Sigma Nu-1's Jason Bueker, Springfield, Mo., junior was also called for flag guarding. Sigma Nu-1 called a timeout to regroup, then succeeded in drawing Team Kearney '04 offsides during the next play. Team Kearney '04 blocked a pass into the end zone, but the referees called illegal contact. Sigma Nu-1 couldn't make anything happen and left the field at halftime trailing 7-0.
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Sigma Nu-1 began its drive by passing all the way down the field to within 10 yards of the goal line. The team survived a quarterback sack and another flag-guarding penalty only to have Team Kearney '04 break up a fourth-down play in the end zone. However, Sigma Nu-1's luck held in long enough for the refs to call Team Kearney '04 for holding and it got another chance. On the ensuing play, two different Sigma Nu-1 receivers bobbled the ball in the end zone and fell before one finally grabbed the slippery thing. It was a play worthy of
SportsCenter, whether for talent or sheer humor value. The touchdown counted, and so did the extra point. Sigma Nu-1 took a 14-7 lead.
Sigma Nu-1 is hoping the game will give them momentum for postseason tournament play.
With 1:30 remaining, Team Kearney '04 began an ill-fated drive that ended 30 seconds later.
The team scored an uncontested touchdown as time ran out, making the final score Sigma Nu-1 20, Team Kearney '04 13. The last two minutes of the game took almost 20 minutes.
Most of the players assumed the play was over and stopped, but Nemer pressed on to an uncontested touchdown. After the dust cleared, the touchdown stood, and after earning the extra point, Sigma Nu-1 extended its lead, 21-7.
Sigma Nu-1's next possession was even shorter, taking a mere 15 seconds, but ended differently. Quarterback Nemer broke free of defenders as penalty flags flew.
With 45 seconds left, Kearney tried valiantly to move the ball down the field, stopping the clock as often as possible.
practice
"We're undefeated so far," said team member Mitch Runco, Omaha, Neb. sophomore. "We don't practice; it's all about having fun."
Many members of Team Kearney '04 played football together in high school, but are playing Kansas intramurals together for the first time.
"We had a lot of penalties, but we just have to get used to the fact that you can't do that here," said Euston.

The Kansas football team embark on its first road game of the season tomorrow, looking to improve on dismal road records during the past few seasons.

than Northwestern's poor record reflects.
Both of the Wildcats' losses have come down to a few key plays. In fact, in each game Northwestern has played, it has put up more total yardage than its opponents.

Kansas, on the other hand, has recorded lopsided victories against two teams that have under-performed this season. Week one's dormant offense rumbled to life in week two and gave the team 63 points and more than 500 total yards.
more than the key for the Jayhawks this season has been defense. The defense has improved from last year, giving up an average of just 8.5 points per game this season.
With more good defense and a solid offense, Kansas should improve to 3-0 and gain national recognition.
John Randle
Edge: Kansas Quarterback
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the team had faced outstanding quarterbacks the last two games. This week Kansas faces another.
Wildcats junior quarterback
Big 10 Conference records for passing yards, yards in a half and touchdowns in a half.
Kansas sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann had an explosive game last week. He contributed 310 yards passing, mustered 24 or 31 passes.
Brett Basanez has start ed in 24 of the 25 games he has played during the past three seasons.
completing 24 or 31 passes.
If Barmann can put up similar numbers, he will finally have proven himself. Until then, the edge goes to the proven record-breaker.
Edge: Northwestern Running Back
Kansas sophomore running back John Randle posted 104 yards rushing on 19 carries and 79 yards receiving on three catches against Toledo. He contributed
This season Basanez has already broken the school and
two touchdowns rushing as well as one on a reception.
Northwestern senior Noah Herron has recorded five 100-yard rushing games, including last week's game against Arizona State. Herron is 10th in the Big Ten for rushing with an average of 119.5 yards per game.
it's difficult to find a true edge between these two running backs. Both are capable of Javying big games.
Edge: Push
In last week's game,
Offensive Line
Vaughn was last season's Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year
In last week's games, the Kansas offensive line stepped up and allowed no sacks, giving Barmann plenty of time to pass.
The line could receive a boost this weekend if senior right guard Tony Coker returns from an injury. Sophomore David Ochoa replaced Coker after Coker broke his ankle in August. Ochoa has been a solid replacement, but with the line can be even
Northwestern has an experienced line, as does Kansas. This battle will be another close one with neither team having a clear advantage.
Coker, the line can be even better.
Northwestern's line is fairly experienced. Senior right guard Matt Ulrich is making his 28th consecutive start, but Zach Strief is probably the most talented lineman. He will have his 19th consecutive start against Kansas. Strief was a preseason candidate for All-Big Ten and All-American honors.
Senior center Joe Vaughn is the anchor of the Jayhawks' offensive line. A candidate for several postseason awards,
Mangino named four starters at the linebacker position and has rotated which three are in for the first defensive series.
Edge: Push Linebackers
So far, his plan has worked. Junior Nick Reid and junior Kevin Kane both have interceptions. Reid, Kane and juniors Gabe Toomey and Banks Floodman have also helped to consistently stop the rush and force fumbles.
Northwestern has two inexperienced linebackers to complement junior Tim McGarigle, a candidate for All-Big Ten honors. Against Arizona State he had 12 tackles and broke up a pass.
Kansas has four linebackers that can start. Northwestern's linebackers just don't match up.
Edge: Kansas Defensive Line
Kansas' defensive line has been a nice surprise. The front four have stopped the rush and put a lot of pressure on quarterbacks.
backs.
Junior college transfer Jermail Ashley stepped into the hole created when senior John McCoy's army reserve unit was activated.
Junior reserve defensive end Charlton Keith has also excelled. Keith returned a fumble to the end zone in last week's 63-14 victory.
Northwestern's defensive line is rather inexperienced and doesn't have its standout player. Junior defensive end Loren Howard injured his tendon five days before the season started. The line has not pressured the opposing quarterbacks nor stopped the run.
Edge: Kansas Wide Receivers
Wide Receivers
Adam Barmann was more accurate against Toledo last week than he was against Tulsa. Barmann's play led to improved production from the Kansas wide receivers. Against Toledo, junior Mark Simmons had six catches for 81 yards with a touchdown.
Senior Brandon Rideau, who struggled catching the football against Tulsa, caught six balls for 53 yards and a touchdown against Toledo.
The Wildcats are led by Mark Philmore and Jonathan Fields. Both Philmore and Fields are averaging more than 100 yards receiving per game, and Fields has three touchdowns on the year. Northwestern's wide receivers have succeeded this far this season because of Basanez's superb play. With Basanez the Northwestern wide outs are going to be tough to beat.
Edge: Northwestern Secondary
Tony Stubbs leads the Kansas secondary. The senior is leading the Big 12 in tackles with 10.5 a game. Through Stubbs improved play, the entire defensive unit is one of the best in the country, allowing just over 161 yards passing per game.
Junior cornerback Theo Baimes has made an immediate impact after transferring from junior college, and sophomore Charles Gordon has been solid.
The Northwestern secondary has struggled, giving up 330 yards passing per game. If the unit does not improve, look for Barmann to have a big day pass-
Edge: Kansas Special Teams
Kansas has the top kick returner in the Big 12 in junior Greg Heaggans. Heaggans is averaging more than 33 yards per return. It is unknown if Heaggans will play tomorrow because of a drunken driving arrest early Thursday morning. Mangino said he would handle the matter internally.
It appears the Jayhawks solved their kicking problem last week as freshman Scott Webb replaced senior Johnny Beck for extra points and went a school record 9-9.
Northwestern's kicker, Brian Huffman, is 1-6 on field goals for the year and may have cost them the game against Texas Christian earlier in the season. Huffman missed five field goals in that game including two in overtime, one of which would have given the Wildcats the victory.
Because of Northwestern's inefficiency at the kicking spot, the advantage goes to Kansas.
Edge: Kansas Coaches
It is clear that Kansas coach Mark Mangino has his team believing it can win. Mangino has turned around both the team and a defense that was ranked near the bottom of Division I-A football last season.
If the defense continues its stellar play, Kansas will make its first back-to-back bowl game appearance in school history. Northwestern coach Randy Walker also has turned his respective program around, taking the Wildcats to two bowls since 2000. After last week's loss to Arizona State, Walker challenged his team's desire. But with Mangino's defensive revitalization, the edge goes to Kansas.
Edge: Kansas

Bulldogs, Buckeyes Kealing's choices for upset losers this week
KICK THE KANSAN
I finally feel like I've done everything right. The picks came out on time. My columns ran on time. I even got to choose my own games. If we run with this logic, I am going to pick the winning games, too.
ming gat Every Wednesday night when I sit down to write this, I agonize over which upsets I should pick This week, I've selected North Carolina State and its fairly potent offense to beat the defense-minded Buckees.
JONATHAN KEALING jkealing@kansan.com
Now it's time to present week three of Kick the Kansan. Good luck to anyone who is new to the contest, as well as those who have been coming after me every week.
---
My only other true upset will be the always dangerous Marshall Thundering Herd over the Georgia Bulldogs. I had a science teacher in middle school who would sing Georgia's fight song every Friday during football season. I just can't bring myself to pick the Bulldogs to win.
Kansas at Northwestern
I have said I am going to ride Kansas all the way to Nebraska. Northwestern is 0-2, Kansas 2-0. If only it was so simple
Northwestern lost close games to two opponents who are receiving votes in national polls. Kansas won convincingly last week and has been a defensive powerhouse. Lawrence has the N o. 11 total defense right now, so I have to stay with the lavhawks.
Pick: Kansas
Pick: Kansas
Ohio State at North Carolina State
North Carolina State, led by senior quarterback Philip Rivers, pummeled the Kansas in last year's Tangerine Bowl. Rivers is now with the San Diego Chargers, but the offense looks like it still knows how to win after a 42-0 pounding of D-1AA Richmond. Ohio State snuck past Marshall last week with a late field goal. The week before, Ohio State beat Cincinnati 27-6.
This pick is a long shot, but I have been dying to see the Buckeyes lose.
Pick: North Carolina State Nebraska at Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is a team with more question marks then most exams have. Heisman Trophy runner-up Larry Fitzgerald and seven offensive starters are gone. Pittsburgh has to rebuild, and Nebraska should have enough rage from last week's loss to Southern Mississippi to prope the team to victory.
Pick: Nebraska Notre Dame at Michigan State
Michigan State is 1-1, as is Notre Dame, however Michigan State lost to Rutgers and defeated Central Michigan, while Notre Dame defeated Michigan and lost to Brigham Young. Michigan State should play a close game, but Notre Dame will win in the end.
West Virginia is one of the trendier picks to play in the Bowl Championship Series championship this season. Maryland flounders in the middle of the Atlantic Coast
Pick: Notre Dame Maryland at West Virginia
Conference every year. They barely snuck past Northern Illinois before defeating Temple. Maryland will probably play West Virginia close but will not win.
Pick: West Virginia Iowa at Arizona State
Arizona State is fresh off a victory over Northwestern. Iowa snuck past Iowa State 17-10. Arizona State showed great improvement when it defeated Northwestern in an endurance match ending with a score of 30-21. Arizona State will be better than the team's record indicated last season, but I don't see Arizona beating Iowa.
Pick: Iowa
Duke at Virginia Tech
Duke needs to stick with basketball. No matter how much of an off-year Virginia Tech has, Duke will not win in football.
Pick: Virginia Tech Louisiana State at Auburn
Pick: Virginia Tech
National co-champion Louisiana State beat Oregon State by just one point and hasn't showed the dominance the team had in last year's run to a split championship. Auburn has played like a champion all season long. Auburn is going to ride its home advantage to victory over Louisiana State
Marshall has destroyed the national title dreams of many teams during the last few years. Georgia returns most of a team that went 11-3 last season. If Georgia wants to go to the FedEx Orange Bowl, the team has to make it past Marshall.
Pick: Auburn
Pick: Marshall
Pick: Marshall Northern Illinois at Iowa State
Iowa State played Iowa close last week. However, Iowa State hasn't found enough consistency to win in this week's game. Northern Illinois is another mid-major team that makes a habit of upsetting bigger, badder teams from better conferences. The Cyclones have been to bowls recently, but after a sudden downturn last season, the program hasn't been the same. Northern Illinois will win a close one.
Pick: Northern Illinois Oregon at Oklahoma
Marshall at Georgia
Oklahoma: the Big 12's best shot at a national championship this season. Oklahoma returns
Last week, Missouri showed that Brad Smith, junior quarterback, is vulnerable. Ball State is a lower-level Mid-American Conference team. As long a Missouri learned something from last week's mistakes, Ball State won't beat Missouri this year.
PICK: OKLAHOMA
Ball State at Missouri
Pick: Missouri
Heisman Trophy winner Jason White and nine other offensive starters. In the last two weeks the Sooners have proven their mettle by demolishing two opponents. Oregon, on the other hand, was embarrassed by Big Ten doormat Indiana.
Coast Guard at Norwich
The Coast Guard are not as prominent as their brethren in the senior services: Army, Navy and Air Force. Norwich lost last season's game with Coast Guard, but this season the team has improved. This game doesn't have a true favorite, but it's always a safe bet to take the home team.
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mc. sophomore in journalism and political science.

ARE YOU NUTS?!
OM CRAP, I'M OUTTA HERE,
IM KEEPING THE SHIRT TOO.
NUTS FOR FREEDOM, YES!
NO, PLEASE STOW! I CAN
CHANGE! I HAVE BEFORE!!
Today's Birthday (Sept. 17).
You're naturally good at keeping track of all the loose odds and ends. This year take the time to make a strategy. Then, just check things off until you win.
HOOTIE BASING YOUR WHOLE CAMPAGN ON A PUN?
ARE YOU NUTS?!
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 5.
Figure out what you really need and when. This is quite important. You can't afford to get everything now, but you do need to get some of it. Prepare for your big shopping trip.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8.
You're quite attractive now, and you're not the only one. The heat's turned up, especially in a committed relationship. Turn down the night on the town with friends. You're better off staying at home.
HOROSCOPES
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 6.
Your workload's increasing, just when you were about to lie back and relax. You might as well catch a nap if you can; it promises to be a long night. Postpone traveling.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is an 8.
Today is an 8. You always do best when you're safely inside a committed relationship. The best relationship for you is passionate but also quite interesting. It's probably nearby.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 4. Domestic responsibilities interfere with your hobby time. Use some of your resources to improve your surroundings. Make things more secure.
Virgo (Aug. 23.Sept. 22) Today is an 8).
Your ability to focus on one thing increases for the next two days. This is welcome because you have had scattered moments lately. Revisit an old lesson.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 5.
Today is a 5. A check you've been waiting for is finally in the mail. Don't tell all your friends and neighbors; just use it to pay off bills.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8.
The next few days you'll find it
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 6.
Deadlines that seemed far away have begun catching up with you. You can't outrun them; better turn and face them. And ask them for a gift. It's an old aboriginal trick.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8.
Let your friends give you a boost. That isn't cheating. You've done a lot of things on your own, but this job requires assistance.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6.
When you expand your influence, or the box in which you're playing, you always encounter new obstacles. That is part of the challenge.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8.
Even if it's hard to arrive at a compromise, don't simply give up the effort. Hammer out an agreement that lasts.

Since the inception of the Big 12, the Dr. Pepper Big 12 Football Championship has been played at Arrowhead Stadium twice, with two more scheduled for this year and 2006.
Kansas may not have to wait for a trip to the Championship in order to play a game inside Arrowhead.
Wednesday, several Kansas athletic department officials met with Chiefs president Carl Peterson about playing at Arrowhead. Oklahoma is the possible opponent.
ble opponent. Many have wondered why Oklahoma is the preferred opponent, over a team
like Missouri with a closer fan base. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that the answer had many parts.
"We've discussed the idea with Missouri," he said, "and they haven't shown any interest."
Additionally, Marchiony said that he thought Oklahoma would bring many of its own fans to fill some of Arrowhead's approximately 80,000 seats.
approximately. Also, he said since the game landed on Kansas' 2005 fall break, that was another influence on the decision.
"It would affect students less. That is the key issue," Marchiony said.
Marchiony did caution, however,
that no firm agreements are in place.
If Kansas agrees to the terms with the Chiefs, the deal should be done.
"We've discussed the idea

Because the game is a Kansas home game, Kansas has the option of moving the game to a neutral site without getting permission from Oklahoma.

While attendance is up from last year, the Kansas attendance of about 40,000 would not go very far toward filling Arrowhead.
One question that would linger if the deal is struck is whether or not the Jayhawks can fill Arrowhead Stadium.

Fraternity wins in flag football

Olathe senior Ryan Vaughan stretches to catch a pass with Omaha, Neb., junior Mike Carlson running after him. Teams Sigma Nu and Kearney '04 played intramural football at Shenk Field Tuesday afternoon.

Both teams showed equal offensive and defensive skills, and each was captained by a running quarterback. Despite impressive teamwork, the game was ultimately decided by the number of flag-guarding penalties assessed to each team, and Sigma Nu-1 ultimately won, 20-13.
The fraternity and open divisions clashed this week when Sigma Nu-1 took on Team Kearney '04.
Editor's Note: Thousands of students at the University of Kansas participate in intramural sports each season. Each week during the season, Kansan sportswriter Jessica Fergen will highlight one intramural game, as suggested by Recreation Services.
Team Kearney '04 received the ball first and went to work with a successful drive. Steve Euston, Overland Park junior, made a diving catch in the end zone for the touchdown, and Mike Conlan, Overland Park junior, caught the ball for the extra point, giving Team Kearney '04 an early seven-point lead
Sigma Nu-1 started off its first possession with a false start penalty and proceeded to almost throw an interception on two different downs. On the fourth down, the team decided to go for it but was thwarted by Team Kearney '04's John Kearney, Overland Park junior, after whom the team is jokingly named.
On the next series, Team Kearney '04 quarterback Joe Sullivan, Overland Park junior, immediately ran for a first down, which the refs promptly took away for flag guarding. It was only the beginning of many such penalties. Sullivan then threw to Olathe senior

At 3:30 on a weekday afternoon, Burcham Park, hidden away at 2nd and Indiana streets on the banks of the Kansas River, is a busy place. The Kansas crew team is holding tryouts and working hard to create a fresh team of rowers. Most of the people trying out have never rowed before. Because Kansas crew is a club team, newcomers are more than welcome.
are more than welcome.
"The first few weeks are mainly learning the basics of crew and a lot of conditioning," said Michael Applebaum, varsity team member.
Brenna Whisney (center), sophomore coxswain and varsity member of the women's crew team, shows some new members how to prepare a boat for the water. The Kansas crew is the largest sports club on campus with membership between 55 to 75 members.
The team has a challenging racing schedule that typically includes races in Wichita, Topeka, Kansas City, Kan. Des Moines, Iowa, Rockford, Ill., Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, and
The novice rowers are learning how to properly maneuver the boats, the different positions on the water and the fundamentals of racing.
Madison, Wis. Kansas crew is the largest, most active sports club on campus. Dan Rose founded the club in 1977. By the 1980s, the team had grown to more than 120 coed members.
Even after the addition of the Kansas women's rowing team, an NCAA-recognized team, Kansas crew continued to grow in members, coaches and equipment. Jason Krone, sports club director, said some of its success can be attributed to how much effort the organization put into raising money.
said.
For fundraisers the club does the Allen Fieldhouse clean-up and the Erga-thon, which is when crew members row on a rowing machine on Wescoe Beach. This season, the crew team is working on new and inventive fundraising projects. One idea the members have is using fragments of old boats to create tables. They're still waiting for the idea to be approved.
"Kansas Crew is very committed to fundraising, which allows them to travel and purchase quality equipment," he said.
Another reason the Kansas crew team remains one of the strongest sports clubs year after year is because of how well they respond to potential new members, Krone said.
"The KU crew team excels in responding to those who are interested," he said. "They truly pay attention to the Freshmen Summer Interest Surveys."
This year, more than 40 novice rowers have joined crew. They train five days a week both on and off the water
Varsity practice every morning, while novice practice in the afternoon.
"The KU crew team is very hopeful this season," Applebaum said. "The novice team looks strong, and we are all pumped for things to get started."
The team is getting ready for its first regatta, The Head of the Des Moines, held on the Des Moines River in Iowa on Sept. 25.

Diets alone won't burn all that fat; get exercise
Many people try the Atkins diet and see no results. The South Beach diet is also very popular and can often prove disappointing to participants. Sorry Dr. Angus, but even your steady regimen of angus beef injections is sometimes not perfect.
Let's face it, diets are not the end-all solution to losing weight or getting in shape. Especially on college campuses, where barley, hops and pizza dough form the unholy trio of dietary sustenance, a healthy diet is nearly impossible.
Although what you eat is important to your overall health, exercise holds the key to solid results. And the University of Kansas gives students many different ways, means and reasons to stay in shape.
Exercise can also help your grades when it comes down to crunch time.
One of the best reasons to exercise is self-confidence. If you are in better shape, you will have a more positive self-image and, thus, feel more comfortable presenting yourself to others. This should yield more dates with a special girl or guy or a successful speech at the Republican National Convention in which you call out "economic girly men."
be more easier to handle
On a less serious note, many fitness options afford students the good fortune of social interaction or people-watching while improving your body
A stronger body translates into an immune system that is generally more resistant to illness, so you will not wear down as much when the winter hits hard. Also, if you are in good shape, the stress of midterms and finals will be much easier to handle.
Take the Student Fitness Recreation Center, for example. The music is turned up. Everybody's dressed to impress. If you go to work out there on a weekday between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., it resembles a cross between a night club and a Michelob Ultra commercial.
For those people who do not aspire to be gym gurus or like to save their club-hopping for the bars, the campus has a lot to offer as well.
Running is one of the best, cheapest and most convenient options for students looking to get fit. Jogging up the hills of Mount Oread can be challenging, rewarding and will have you in top shape in no time. If you are ever short on motivation to run on campus, just go down Jayhawk Boulevard on a beautiful early fall day. You will understand.
Although somewhat less popular, cycling is another great way to exercise in Lawrence. Trail biking is available along the Kansas River or out at Clinton Lake.
Road biking can be found on any of the city's unavoidable hills. If it is the hills keeping you off the bike, just imagine you are Lance Armstrong climbing the Alps during the Tour de France. If you have a yellow "Lance band," you are halfway there.
If running, lifting, or biking is not your thing, there are always organized sports. Pick-up basketball games, intramural leagues or impromptu Ultimate Frisbee all give good exercise opportunities.
opportunity Whatever your interest, there is certainly a corresponding fitness niche on campus.
1. Do something. Even a small addition to weekly exercise habits can make an impact.
Simply follow these two pearls of wisdom and you will be well on your way to better shape.
2. Despite what anyone tells you,
Michelob Ultra is not a sports drink

Legends creates bus route

THE LEGENDS BUS
After KU on Wheels cancelled its bus route, The Legends apartment complex, 4101 W.24th Place, contracted their own bus, which was parked in front of the Kansas Union last week.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
When Michelle Tran, Derby sophomore, went apartment hunting last spring with her sister, Mary, finding an apartment near a bus route was her main concern. When they signed a lease for a town home on Clinton Parkway she thought she would no longer have to worry about sharing a Nissan Maxima. But one week before school began Tran found out the bus route was canceled.
Diane Lawson is the vice president of Callaway Properties and manages the Legends Apartments. Because of the route cancellation, she has spent approximately $50,000 dollars for a private bus to chauffeur her tenants to and from campus. A year ago there were about 200 tenants living at the Legends. Now there are more than 600.
The KU bus route ran for one school year. In February 2003 Lawson met with KU on Wheels to discuss the possibility of a west Lawrence route. Because the operating cost for a bus route is approximately $70,000, Lawson offered to cover part of the cost by pre-purchasing 200 annual bus passes. The transportation board accepted the $2,400 and Lawson handed out the passes to new renters.
The Student Senate transportation board canceled KU On Wheels 23rd and Inverness Streets bus route in April 2003.
"I couldn't just leave those kids stranded," Lawson said. "I had promised them a bus."
On average, 200 people were riding the west Lawrence bus route per month. Tim Akright, transportation coordinator, said this number was extremely low compared to the 400 person-per-month ridership of other campus buses.
"The transportation board could not justify picking up students from that location," he said. "I strongly encourage students to check with us before they lease an apartment." Akright said.

More than a million people were without power across 13 states, leaving many in Florida's Panhandle and Alabama's Gulf Coast to sweat it out without air conditioning. At a Pensacola shopping center, people waited in cars or on foot for hours Saturday to receive necessities from Florida National Guard troops.
"We're all in the same boat. It's frustrating, but it's not just you, it's everybody," added Lowell Weaner, who said a tree fell on his home during the storm.

Chinese have first leadership transition

BEIJING — Hu Jintao became the undisputed leader of China as the country completed its first orderly transfer of power in the communist era yesterday with the departure of former President Jiang Zemin from his top military post — giving a new generation a freer hand to run the world's most populous nation.
Jiang, whose term was to have run until 2007, resigned at a meeting of the ruling Communist Party's Central Committee that ended yesterday.

"To have someone as chairman of the party and not control the guns is very awkward. This will definitely make things easier."

Jiang and Hu are not known to have had any major policy disagreements and both support continued capitalist-style reforms and one-party communist rule.

Hu, 61, replaced Jiang as party leader in late 2003 and as president early the next year. But the 78-year-old Jiang, who led China for 13 years, retained influence by holding onto his military post even as all his contemporaries retired in a long-planned handover of power to younger leaders.
But the consolidation of the top party, government and military posts in Hu's hands will allow him and his premier, Wen Jiabao, to act more decisively as the government copes challenges such as wrenching economic changes and rural poverty.

SPECIAL TO THE KANAN
As Kevin Kinsella climbs the hill to his 7:30 a.m. class, he can hear the hammering.
The Leawood senior is used to the constant murmur of construction by now.

Kinsella said he doesn't care about the cause of the neverending hammering. He just wants it to be over.
Work began in May at 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard to repair a collapsing steam line tunnel that runs under the University of Kansas campus. Years of water corrosion created an unsafe work environment for workers who used the tunnel.
Students avoid the construction at the top of 14th Street. Work on the steam tunnel should be completed by Feb. 13.
workers who the state hired design firm Hoss and Brown to design a new, safe and more efficient tunnel. After the completion of the design, the bid for construction was fair game. The University accepted the bid from Altmar Inc.
Chris Johnson, superintendent of Altmar Inc., said he has a full-time construction crew of at least 15 workers. He said construction on the new tunnel should be completed by Feb. 13.
should be completed The rains that saturated Lawrence last month didn't have an effect on construction timelines, Johnson said.
"If it rains too much, and we can't pump the water out of the tunnel, the mud and silt back up and cause delays," Johnson said.
However, the past week of warm and dry weather has kept Altmar Inc. on schedule. University faculty has mixed thoughts about the construction's disruption on campus.
tion's classmate. Jim Modig, director of design and construction for the University, said he didn't anticipate the size of the project, nor the $1.2 million price tag. Modig said most on-campus projects involved smaller repairs in classrooms and buildings.
"This was an unusual situation," Modig said. "Most of the
repairs are in terms of buildings. Utility repairs like the tunnel are much less common."
much less commitment According to Modig, the funds for the project came from two different sources: the Educational Building Fund and settlement funds.
The Educational Building Fund collects annual funds from the state. These funds are used for repair and rehabilitation of campus facilities. Modig said normally, the funds are solely used for roof replacements, mechanical equipment and electrical upgrades.
The settlement funds came from a lawsuit the University filed nine years ago against a boiler room company. The company produced faulty equipment that the University bought. The University settled the legal battle out of court.
"The settlement funds really helped for the project, now we'll have some leftover money so we can pay attention to other repairs around campus," Modig said.
Coping with construction
Mark Skorick stops his lecture for the second time in 20 minutes, a common practice for him. He can't talk over the noise of the jackhammers, drills and machines. Skorick, professor of political science, is trying to be patient with the construction.

"I don't understand why I should be forced to stop speaking every 10 minutes and wait for drilling to cease in order to be heard by my students," Skorick said.
Skorick said.
Skorick understands the need for construction, but not the timing.
"I think it's more important to provide an environment that's conducive to the education of students," Skorick said.

Skorick said he feels construction should have been completed over the summer or on
Students avoid breaks when students weren't in classes. Other faculty noticed the construction as well.
Brad Kemp, Natural History Museum assistant director of public affairs, said the construction is a bother when the building shakes with the vibrations. The museum is located inside Dyche Hall, directly next to the construction on 14th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard.
"The building is over a century old." Kemp said. "So hopefully when the construction is done, we won't have to worry about problems with heating and cooling like we have in the past. It seems like it's never comfortable in here."
portable in here.
The museum has about 50,000 visitors a year. Lately, visitors seem to want to know more about the huge hole next to the building than the exhibits, Kemp said.
Both Skorick and Kemp hope
The new tunnels are meant to connect campus buildings distributing electricity, water and steam efficiently. Records of the utility systems and how they operate aren't available because the tunnel system was installed in the early 1900s.
Mark Reiske, assistant director of design and construction management, oversees the project to make sure everything is following codes. Reiske said the main benefit of the new tunnel is a safer environment for the University.
the construction proves to be worth the hassle.
Thinking positive
University Reiske said with the new tunnel system, the Design and Construction Management Department will be able to complete smaller repair projects in order to avoid larger problems. A new record system is being installed with the tunnel so
checks can easily be done to ensure the equipment is working properly.

"There were portions of the tunnel that were inaccessible," Reiske said. "We're talking, you had to crawl through, and even then you couldn't get through sometimes."
sometimes.
The tunnel makes it possible to heat and service domestic hot water use for Dyche, Spooner, and Lippincott halls. Utility workers need a safe tunnel so they can access any problems quickly and efficiently, Reiske said.
"The old tunnel was failing it's that simple," Reiske said. "If we didn't take care of this problem, the old tunnel could have collapsed and taken down steam lines, communication lines pretty much the entire infrastructure."

LEGENDS Students take advantage of new bus route
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"I will never, ever recoup the money I've lost," Lawson said.
After she learned that KU on Wheels would no longer be available to shuttle her tenants, Lawson said the private bus was her only option.
The Legends bus route goes from the Legends apartment complex, down 15th street, along Jayhawk Boulevard and arrives at the Kansas Union every 40 minutes. The route began the first day of fall classes.
Anyone who rides the bus must have a Legends bus pass Eric Darnell, Legends bus driver said. Legends tenants and nontenants can buy a semester pass for $50 dollars or a school year pass for $100. Student bus passes for KU on Wheels cost $130 for an annual pass. $70 for a fall pass or spring pass and $30 for a summer pass.
After Tran saw the bus in her neighborhood, she bought a Legends bus pass and rides the bus about four days a week.
But Tran said the Legends bus schedule is not accommodating to her class schedule and she is afraid it could be cancelled again because of low ridership. Because of that, next year she will move out of her west Lawrence townhome and closer to campus.
"In case they decide to cancel the bus I don't want to be in the same situation next year," Tran said.
ture:
This February at the annual route-hearing meeting, Lawson said she plans to request that the transportation board bring back the bus route.
Lawson said that the decision to cancel the route was premature.

I'd just like to say that there is a bus driver out there that needs to go to some anger management therapy. Yesterday, coming back from the Union, I watched him close the doors in front of a girl's face as she was trying to get off, start to drive while two people were still getting on and getting to their seats. They pretty much ran into each other and fell over, and then he stopped at Lewis but doesn't stop at Hash even when someone pulls the string. What the crap?
I just want to say Thank You to the Kansan for the super-long, super- Republican issue of Free for All in today's paper. Nothing gets my juices flowing more than bigots speaking their minds. Thanks.

Fight for gender equality goes on
The f-word. Feminist. For many, this word conjures images of militant, manhating, angry women. This stereotype is so strong, that many women shy away from actions that might be labeled as "feminist," in fear that they, too, will be associated with this negative connotation. This sets women back in the ongoing struggle toward equality.
PERSPECTIVE
The goal of feminism, at its most basic level, is gender equality in all areas. Extreme activists have given it an unpopular reputation, but not all feminists can be lumped together under a single image. In today's society, women are consistently placed on a lower tier, almost universally earning less than their male colleagues while doing the same work. Women who want to work and have families are expected to manage the household as well as their workload; a daunting task for anyone. As much as gender philosophies have changed in the past few decades, and advances in women's equality have occurred, these discrepancies remain.
It is surprising to some and appalling to others that most of written history excludes women. This is not an issue of class, race, ethnicity, social status or any of the common factors in discrimination. What is not surprising is that a society built on a male-centered history has such a difficult time giving women equal status. In general, women have
EASE LECTIVE
SARAH ZAFAR
opinion@kansan.com
simply been left out of written history except as participants in a male world. The exceptions are diaries, letters and books that women throughout the centuries have written. These documents often provide the only insight into women's lives in a given era, but you will not find them in most basic history classes. Special women's history and women's studies classes are often the only place to find these documents.
Standing up for gender equality is as important now as it was in previous decades, if not more so. Despite legal improvement in the areas of gender discrimination and equality in the workforce, women are still not on a level playing field. Ideally,gender should not factor into hiring practices or wage distribution, but realizing such an ideal is a distant goal, especially considering the negative aspects of feminism.
In the initial stages of the feminist movement in the 1960s, many activists
encouraged women to break out of their traditional roles as wife, mother and homemaker, and enter the workforce. At first, this push was necessary to break down significant barriers against women, but the pressure women faced during this stage helped give feminism a bad name.
give feminism a bad name.
One of the most common misconceptions of feminism is that in order to have equal footing, a woman must leave the domestic, private sphere for the public world, even against her will. This is not the case. Feminism does not support a push away from the home and into the workforce, but rather, supports a woman's right to choose what she wants to do with her life, without the stigma of society bearing down on her. The reason the movement is called feminism is because women are the disadvantaged players. Support of female rights is the key to gaining equal rights.
Rather than avoiding feminism women and men need to act in favor of equality in all parts of society.Taking a basic women's history class to learn about women's significant contributions to society is a good start.Learning about women helps work toward gender acceptance. Only then will feminism cease to be necessary.

Say 'I love you' before it's too late
Last week, Erin, my girlfriend of two years, had surgery to remove a lump in her breast. Although this may sound like a common situation among many women, it was of special concern for Erin.
Why do some people not realize how deep their love for someone goes until a tragic event occurs? I pondered this question last week when I experienced an event that I thought I would never experience, especially in college.

jump that couch. The surgery would happen whether we wanted it to. This was a very serious situation.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Thankfully, the lump was benign with no signs of cancer, but before the outcome, I could not keep the negative scenarios out of my head.
What if the lump turned cancerous, or worse, what if she never made it home from surgery? This type of surgery is rather common, but when tonsil or wisdom teeth removal are the most serious surgeries you've had, it's hard to not worry. I couldn't remember

ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING Inappropriate for All Ages

If you think you can get away with illegally swapping movies, you're wrong. Illegally trafficking in movies is not just a dirty little secret between you and your computer. You leave a trail.

Caught in purple haze
Northwestern defense, missed field goals lead to first loss of the year

EVANSTON, Ill. — The Kansas football team will not open its Big 12 Conference schedule undefeated.
The Jayhawks, who host the Texas Tech Red Raiders this Saturday, failed in their bid to start the season 3-0 with a 20-17 loss at Northwestern.
Kansas senior Johnny Beck missed two field goal opportunities. Making just one of those would have most likely sent the game to overtime.
Kansas trailed early and led only once on the way to the loss. Its 17-13 lead came when senior receiver Brandon Rideau caught one of his two touchdown receptions, in the third quarter. The Wildcats took back the lead for good just two minutes later with a touchdown drive of their own.
Despite the score, the Jayhawks outgained Northwestern in total yards (350 yards to 337), but the penalties and two missed field goals thwarted Kansas' bid for the win.
Throughout the game, Kansas was couldn't overcome an inability to conduct any sort of a running game. Penalties at inopportune times at also didn't help.
"I want to give credit to Northwestern," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino. "They were able to make enough plays to win the game."
Strong defense characterized the early part of the game. Neither team posted any points in the first quarter. The closest either got the end zone was Northwestern's trip to the Kansas 30 yard line. The Wildcats' drive was stalled there, however, and ending in a 48-yard field goal that sailed left off the foot of

Huffman would not miss his next chance in the second quarter. He hit a 23-yard field goal with 8:41 left in the half to give Northwestern the first points of the game. Kansas did not stay down for long. On the Jayhawks' next offensive series, the team marched 66 yards in eight plays, highlighted by a career-long 49-yard reception by junior running back Clark Green.
But after failing to convert on a third down with four yards to go, the team had to settle for a 27-yard field goal by freshman Scott Webb.

The two field goals would remain the only points of the half, and at the break the score was tied, 3-3.
"First half, we just didn't execute very well," sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann said.
in the second half, Northwestern didn't waste time taking back the lead. The Wildcats' second drive took just 4:45 to complete a 71-yard touchdown drive, spearheaded by a 58-yard rush on the drive's first play by junior running back Terrell Jordan. The Wildcats capped the drive with a two-yard rush by junior quarterback Brett Basanez for the touchdown.
Northwestern added another three points a couple minutes later after driving 36 yards. The Wildcats pushed their lead

Afternoon of football prompts revelations
It's amazing what revelations you can have when lying in bed on a Saturday afternoon watching college football.
While listening to Kansas take on Northwestern, the television, featuring an exciting matchup between Grambling and Bethune-Cookman, was on mute. When you watch and listen to sports, your brain thinks sports. This is what came to mind. Revelation #1
As Johnny Beck duffed his 48-yard, game-tying field goal attempt Saturday, the entire landscape of the 2004 University of Kansas football schedule was altered.
Now, the entire season hinges on next Saturday's home game against Texas Tech. What at the beginning of the season was just a minor blip on a schedule that included Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska now becomes more important than all three combined.
bined.
Should Kansas fall to Texas Tech, who put on a 70-point display against Texas Christian University the other day, it could begin a nightmarish stretch. On the bright side, if Kansas defeats Texas Tech, Johnny Beck lucks out, as his miscues in Evanston could become distant memories.
Some distant memories.
It's a given that next week's game will be a shootout. It doesn't matter how improved KU's defense is, Texas Tech always finds a way to score. Can Kansas say the same?
Revelation #2
the top 15. This is why Bill Self will win a National Championship in the next five years.
five years. He has brought basketball recruiting at Kansas into the 21st century. He knows that most of the top high school prospects in the country want to go to the NBA within two years of their high school graduation, but they win championships. The cast of characters on the Kansas basketball rosters may change more in the next 10 years than people are accustomed to, but so will the number of banners in the rafters.
Reaching into the dresser next to the bed, there's an old Sports Illustrated buried at the bottom. It was a college basketball preview from a couple of years back, with a story on Hinrich and Collison.
Revelation #2
Kirk and Nick defined what Roy Williams brought to Kansas basketball. Roy was notorious for his "every other year" recruiting style, so as not to create playing-time conflicts. Roy also did not necessarily recruit the top prospects, but instead he brought in four-year players who he could mold into "program guys."
He last year that by the start of the 2005-06 season, he wanted to have a rotation of eight or nine underclassmen who could all contribute significant minutes. He brought in four this year who appear to be headed for the regular rotation, and has already received oral commitments from three bona fide studs for next year. When he landed the commitment of power forward Julian Wright a couple weeks back, it shocked the recruiting world. On rivals.com's list of the top 150 prospects for the class of 2005, Self already has commitments from three of the top 15.
Bill Self's approach to recruiting is a complete 180 from Roy's, and that's a good thing.

Dodgers shine at right time as Bradley clouts ball in thin air
DENVER — Shawn Green called it the biggest home run of his life. Jim Tracy called it the biggest win of the season.
There was no arguing with either the player or the manager after Green's two-out homer in the ninth lifted Los Angeles to a 7-6 victory over Colorado yesterday. Then again, with the playoffs in sight, the milestones might keep getting more significant.
Green and Tracy agreed there was no better way to go into the stretch.

As important as Green's homer was, much of the Dodgers clubhouse was focused on Bradley's shot. It measured 479 feet, prodigious even in the mile-high air, and a few players were overheard saying they'd never seen a ball hit that far.

Panthers defeat Chiefs, 28-17
Yesterday's loss leaves Kansas City still searching for its first victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —DeShaun Foster showed the Carolina Panthers should be just fine without Stephen Davis.
Running around and through Kansas City's soft defense, Foster carried 32 times for 174 yards, including a team-record 71-yard burst, in leading the defending NFC Champion Panthers to a 28-17 victory over the Chiefs yesterday.
The total was 4 yards short of the team record held by Davis, who is out indefinitely after spraining his knee in practice last week.
"I had no idea that I was close to the record," Foster said. "I just wanted to get 150 yards," he said. "You always have to step up when somebody goes down."

The Chiefs (0-2) were still within reach at 21-17 when Foster iced the game with his long gallop, which was followed immediately by a 3-yard touchdown run that gave the Panthers an 11-point lead with 10:35 left.

"I needed to fill a certain gap a little harder," Barber said. "It was a playaction and he found the crease and he has the speed to go the distance. It was just a poorly executed play on my behalf."
Carolina (1-1) came in missing their top two offensive threats — Davis and wide receiver Steve Smith — but had little trouble with the poor-tackling and mistake-prone defense of the defending AFC West champions.
On second down from the 3, linebacker Monty Beisel came charging in on a blitz, got a hand on Delhomme's jersey and spun him completely around.
Jake Dehlomine threw three touchdown passes for the Panthers, including a 3-yard heave in the first quarter on the sort of play that normally gets a quarterback chewed-out, or even fined.
But as Delhomme was about to be slammed to the turf, he heaved a floater in the direction of the end zone.

The Panthers, who lost their opener to Green Bay, took a 14-10 lead with a time-consuming 80-yard drive in the third quarter. They converted four third downs on the drive, including Delhomme's 9-yard touchdown pass to Keary Colbert, subbing for Smith.

Given good field position by a 15-yard celebration penalty against Kansas City, the Panthers marched 56 yards in eight plays and regained the lead on Delhomme's 1-yard TD pass to Mike Seidman.

37 yards.
Heaggans was taken to the Douglas County jail and released on $250 bail, according to information published in the Lawrence Journal-World.
This is not Heagans' first brush with the law. He was linked to an incident on Nov. 19,2003,when beer was stolen from a convenience store. He is on diversion for his involvement with this incident.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
would not comment on Heaggans' situation during his press conference on Saturday.
Mason Logan, sports information director, said Mangino would handle the situation internally.
Mangino has taken action when other members of the team have had run-ins with the law.
In April, Randle was sentenced to two days in the Douglas County Jail for attempted theft, disorderly conduct and possessing a fake driver's license. Mangino benched him for the first half of the season-opener against Tula.
Heaggans' absence could have an impact on a special teams unit that had played well until Saturday.
In the first two games,
Heaggans averaged a hefty 33.2

He also holds the school record for most kick return
Saturday Kicker Johnny Beek missed two field goals, including one that would have tied the game with 23 seconds remaining.
The special teams struggled on Saturday.
"There are a lot of areas of it that are good," Mangino said about the special teams. "But we are going to continue to work on what we are doing."

At No. 18 in the playoff, Han hit her approach shot within four feet. Kane landed on the green about 80 feet from the hole. Kane's long birdie try narrowly missed the hole, but she made an eight-footer for par-

HAZE: Penalties stop Kansas

to 13-3 with a 21-yard field goal by Huffman.
Kansas started the fourth quarter in need of points, and the offense obliged. During a 75-yard drive, Barmann connected on a seven-yard touchdown pass to Rideau.
The two connected again from 20 yards out on the Jayhawks' next offensive series, and Kansas grabbed its first and only lead, 17-13, midway through the fourth quarter.
"It was all about using different strategy," Rideau said. "The first half, I tried to play relaxed, just let the play make itself, instead of making the play."
The Jayhawks' lead was shortlived as Northwestern scored on its next series to seal the Wildcats' first win of the season.
Beck had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute and a half remaining, but his 43-yard field goal attempt sailed just wide. Overall, Kansas was 1-for-3 on field goals in the game. Beck missed both his attempts, and Webb made one.
A week and a half ago coach
Mangino announced that Webb would kick all field goals spotted within the 20-yard line and all extra points. Beck would kick field goals beyond the 20 yard line.
The Jayhawks had more penalty yards than rushing yards. They were penalized 11 times for 84 yards. In comparison, they netted just 47 yards rushing on 26 carries. Both Green and sophomore running back John Randle were unable to react to the various defensive schemes that Northwestern threw at them.
threw at them. "They just came out and played good." Green said. "(The offensive line) was trying to get them, but they were coming out with schemes we just couldn't overcome."
Mangino even tried utility man Charles Gordon out in the backfield for a limited number of plays
play's After the game, Mangino was particularly bothered by his team's penalties, but he said he liked the aggression that his players showed.
"We want to be aggressive, but we have to be smart," Mangino
said. "Too many penalties. Way, way too many penalties."
After the game, Mangino offered his own explanation for why the team struggled as much as it did against Northwestern.
■ Junior wide receiver and kick returner Greg Heagans, who was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated late last week, did not play and was not seen with the team at the game.
"Our team has to mature," he said. "We're going through a process where we're trying to take guys who haven't played a lot and we're trying to get them to be mature enough to handle a tough game."

Barmann went 30-48 for 294 yards passing. For most of the game, he also led the team in rushing, finishing with 19 yards on six carries. Barmann sat out for several plays in the second half after receiving a minor injury.

"Mark is a great player, he showed it today." Basanez said. "He has good speed and instincts, and our linemen are great players. They got down-field and made blocks. That was a heck of a play."
Philmore caught the ball and cut across the middle, weaving in between Kansas defenders to get the big gain.

"I just caught the ball and was telling myself to get up field," Philmore said. "I was thinking about a play that happened last week against Arizona State, where a couple guys said if I had kept going in the field that

Arizona State.
This weekend's game was different for the Wildcats as they had two previous close losses. Northwestern took the lead for good when Basanez threw a 12 yard touchdown pass to Brandon Horn.
Philmore had another strong outing on Saturday as he caught seven passes for 113 yards. Philmore is averaging more than 100 yards receiving per game
thus far this season.
"Three minutes left, all we had to do was stop them. We didn't do it," Kansas linebacker Nick Reid said. "There are really no excuses, they just outplayed us."
Wildcat running back Noah Herron rushed for 85 yards on 18 carries and on his one touch on the final scoring drive he rushed for 13 yards, which eventually set up the game winning touchdown.
"He is a big kid, he runs hard every play and he'll make you miss," Reid said. "He's a good running back, and it's good for us to see that because the Big 12 has a lot of good running backs."

THINK OUTSIDE FOUR PERPENDICULAR SIDES ON A GEOMETRICALLY SQUARED BASE.
It takes ingenuity, teamwork and a great deal of effort to pull off some of the high-profile engineering projects being done in the United States Air Force. Engineers who come aboard are immediately put on the fast track and have advancement opportunities typically not found in the private sector. From weapons systems and space station materials to the next generation of X-planes, whatever the project is, it's always fresh always important and always cutting edge.

Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 7.

Runner's goals go beyond cross country course Megan Manthe looks to a future of a 4.0,med school and the NCAA Championships

Megan Manthe balances running on the Kansas women's cross country team with a demanding class schedule. She has maintained a 4.0 grade point average as a biochemistry major and is currently applying to medical schools.
Before Megan Manthe sat down to eat the salad she had prepared, she reached for a stack of medical school applications on a table in the corner of her apartment and carefully pulled one off the top.
"I just clipped my picture onto this one," she said. "I'm about ready to mail it in."
about ready to make a Manteh, the top runner on the Kansas women's cross country team, said she wrote 30 essays for medical school applications last weekend alone, spending as much as 10 hours per day grinding them out.
That's on top of her normal schedule of running 55 miles per week while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average as a biochemistry major.
chemistry major.
"I're really a big nerd," she said. "But as long as I get a day where I can go out every now and then, I stay sane enough."
She is applying to medical schools across the country, including the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Boston University, George Washington and Loyola, among others.
Manthe said she would prefer to attend a school in a part of the country that she hasn't seen much before. That is the same reason she came to the University of Kansas in 2001 from her hometown of Anoka, Minn.
Minn. "If you have the option of going someplace new, you should go for it," she said. "You don't have that many opportunities."
Traveling with the cross country team, Manthe has been all over the Midwest, excelling as much in meets as she has in the classroom. Last year she finished second on the team in the two most important meets of the year, the Big XII Championships and the NCAA Midwest Regional, placing 19th and 38th, respectively.
style, which is to get to the front and stay there as long as she can. At the Bob Timmons Invitational on Sept. 4, that is exactly what she did, breaking out with the lead pack early in the race and hanging on for a third place finish.
Before races, Manthe said she listens to fast-paced music, like rap or techno, to get her blood flowing. When she is at home, though, her musical tastes are tamer. One of her favorites: Yanni.
"I get out, I always have," she said. "You just have to stay at the top as far as you can. You have to go into a race believing you'll do awesome and compete like you want to be the best."

n given him a crier.
Manthe also believes in a healthy diet, and she ensures that her roommates, including teammate Jenna Bimbi, eat healthy too. As the primary cook for their apartment, she keeps them on a steady regimen of salad and chicken.
"According to Jenna, I make good, healthy meals," she laughed. "I'm their mom and they know it."
they know it. Manthe said when she isn't running, she's usually studying; she wants to maintain her perfect GPA until graduation in the spring.
"I fell in love with cardio this summer," she said, "but it's too early to decide. That'll come when I get into med school."
While Manthe has not decided on what field of medicine to go into, she said a summer internship in the cardiovascular unit of St. Luke's Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., made a big impression on her.
For now, Manthe said she looks forward to returning to Minnesota on Sept. 25 for the team's next meet in Minneapolis. The meet will allow Manthe and her teammates to see how they stack up against some of the fastest collegiate runners in the nation, who she hopes to face again at the NCAA Championships in November. She said competing in the NCAA Championships has been one of her main goals since she first came to Kansas.
Another of Manthe's goals is to lead the Jayhawks to a top six finish at the Big XII Championships in October.
And she'll keep working on medical school applications. Her next step is the dreaded interviewing process.
the goal is to know where I'm going by February," she said, "but we'll see."

record to 8-1.
Just three days after losing in Champaign, Ill. to the Fighting Illini, Kansas defeated Ole Miss Friday at home, 2-0.
It took the Jayhawks just 25 minutes to get back into an offensive mode after their shutout at Illinois. Senior Rachel Gillfinn scored off of a pass from junior Caroline Smith.
It did not take long for the Kansas women's soccer team to bounce back from its first loss of the season. The Jayhawks recorded two wins over the weekend, improving their overall record to 8-1.
The Jayhawks got off 10 shots in the first period while allowing the Rebels only one.
"It always feels good to score," Gilfillan said of her third goal on the year. "My dad came for a
that.
On the defensive side, senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller did not see much action.
"Our game plan was to get the ball up to our forwards and lay it back to midfield players coming through, because we felt like there would be some space in front of that ball to play in," said coach Mark Francis. "Up front, I thought we did a very good job of that."

goal of the game.
The goals by Gilfillan and Smith put them in a tie with sophomore Nicole Cauzillo for the most goals scored so far this season.
The Jayhawks traveled to Auburn, Ala. yesterday to face the No. 26 Tigers.
"Our fitness was a factor toward the end of the game," Francis said. "You could tell that we were more fit than they were. So that was definitely a positive that I saw. Any time you can go on the road and beat a good team it is a great win."
The Jayhawks triumphed in double overtime, 1-0. Sophomore Holly Gault ended the match with a diving header off a pass from senior Monica Brothers 2.34 into the second overtime.
"I thought it was a pretty solid performance," Francis said. "I thought defensively we did very well. Anytime they did try and attack, I thought our defensive back four were very solid."
The nine saves by Miller were a career-high and gave her seven shutouts for the season.
Miller has allowed only two goals in more than 800 minutes this season, giving her a .22 goals allowed average, nearly one and a half better than the average for the Jayhawks' opponents. Kansas' 8-1 start matches last year's team record for the best start heading into conference play.
"This was our first overtime match of the season and to be able to win the game in that fashion was definitely big." Francis said. "This is a big win for us heading into next weekend."
heading into next weekend Next weekend the team will begin its conference schedule and face two Big 12 teams at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Friday and Sunday.
It plays Nebraska at 5 p.m. Friday. Defending Big 12 champion Colorado follows on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Teri would have completed her masters degree at the University of Kansas in social welfare and graduated Aug. 22, also the couple's first wedding anniversary. She would have turned 27 years-old two days after her death.
Since Teri's death, Matt has been proactive in making changes in the way social workers go into clients' homes.

In January 2004, the World Company filed suit against the University seeking to force its compliance with the Kansas Open Records Act. The Associated Press and Kansas Press Association later joined the suit.

He also said the University had tried to misapply the language of the Kansas Open Records Act.

Where's my appendix, and what does it do?
Everybody's wondered — where is that pesky useless little organ? The appendix is located in the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, either behind the cecum or in front of the ileum. Nobody is really sure exactly what it does but there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the appendix plays an important role as part of the body's immune system, especially early in life.

Kerry, a fourth-term Massachusetts senator, voted to give Bush authority to wage the war and he said in August he still would have voted that way had he known there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
NEW YORK — Sen. John Kerry said yesterday that mistakes by President Bush in invading Iraq could lead to unending war and that no responsible commander in chief would have begun the war knowing Saddam Hussein didn't possess weapons of mass destruction and wasn't an imminent threat to the United States.
the same way. How can he possibly be serious?" the Democratic presidential candidate said at New York University.
Al Qaeda, the United States should have invaded Iraq? My answer is resoundingly no because a commander in chief's first responsibility is to make a wise and responsible decision to keep America safe."
"Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell," Kerry said. "But that was not, in itself, a reason to go to war. The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact. We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure."
Kerry said yesterday, "Is he really saying to Americans that if we had known there were no imminent threat, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to
the United States. "Yet today, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again.

After a near-fatal car accident last Christmas Eve, Richard Morrell remains more passionate about his job and life than ever before.
Morrell, associate vice provost for student success, suffered severe physical and brain injuries and was in the hospital for a month last January. He returned to work two hours a day starting June 14, and was back to full time in mid-July. Although he said he still experiences physical pain from the accident — some that his doctors said may be permanent — Morrell is just happy to be here.
"We never saw him coming," Morrell said.
morrow is just happy to be here. On Dec. 24, 2003, Morrell and his wife, Kerry, were driving to church. A sport utility vehicle southbound on Iowa Street broadsided them on 27th Street when the vehicle crossed two lanes of traffic and jumped a median.
Morren said.
Morrill suffered eight broken ribs, a fractured scapula, a skull fracture and a ruptured spleen. His wife suffered a broken collarbone and a concussion, and was released the night of the accident. The SUV's driver, 24-year-old William P. Moore IV of Lawrence, suffered minimal injuries and was also treated and released the night of the accident.

Underground prepares for Thursdayopening
CAMPUS
The Underground at Wescoe is shooting to open Thursday.
The only reason the Underground wouldn't open on Thursday is if a major catastrophe strikes, said Michael Myers, assistant director of retail of KU Memorial Unions. He qualified a catastrophe as sprinklers going off or a fire starting in the kitchen, but he didn't foresee any problems that would delay the opening again.
Chick-fil-A; Pulse, a coffee shop; and the Hawk Shop will open at 7 a.m for breakfast. Pizza Hut; Crustano's, a deli; JUMP Asian cuisine; and the salad bar will open between 9 and 10 a.m. The food court will be open until 5 p.m. Pulse and the Hawk Shop will stay open until 11 p.m. The Underground might open for part of the day Wednesday, if everything is ready to go, Myers said.

Students arrested for arson at playground
University of Kansas police officers arrested two 18-year-old KU students Saturday night for setting fire to playground equipment by Stauffer Place Apartments, south of 1615 Ellis Road. Capt. Schueller Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, said an officer saw the students start the fire and flee while he was waiting for a phone company to service equipment.
Bailey said an accelerant was used but the damage wasn't extensive. Plastic vinyl on steps leading to a slide was damaged.

Campus needs better forums for political debate
Many would argue that the presidential election in November will be one of the closest and the most important elections in our lifetimes. The landscape of our immediate future will be undoubtedly impacted by who will be leading our nation for the next four years. Why isn't there more discussion and debate taking place on our campus?
Surely it isn't because there aren't issues that affect our lives. Tuition costs, the economy, and the job market many of us are going to enter are just a few of the salient issues we have over our heads.
Is it because nobody cares enough? Just check out the chalking wars taking place on our campus sidewalks. The discussion is even being carried to the party scene. Did you read about the KU students who pummeled each other at aparty after one student criticized the Bush administration and Texas? Those students are not the best examples of student activism (their discourse was not likely not very in-depth), but they are an example nonetheless that
students do care about politics
students do so because The College Republicans and the Young Democrats, two student groups here on campus, have scheduled debates. But it is questionable as to how many students who aren't members knew about the debates. There should be more advertising and more students mobilized for these opportunities.
What part can the University play in getting more students involved in debate and discussion? There is the Dole Institute for Politics, but how many other opportunities do we have here?
What we need is more participation in discussions and more opportunities that students actually know about. We need to create a forum in which everyone can participate; students, faculty, and staff. We need a forum in which everyone wants to participate. We need something better than one-liners in the Free for All, bathroom walls or parties to spark true debate here on campus.

Evacuation not as easy for some
The terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, marked the beginning of a new America, especially for people with disabilities. As all Americans grappled with rebuilding and homeland security, people with disabilities began to comprehend and push for greater awareness of the dangers of failing to prepare adequately for emergency situations.

adequately. The University of Kansas may not seem a likely target for terrorists, but Sept. 11 can teach us all a valuable lesson about emergency preparedness for people with disabilities.

A man who uses a wheelchair was on the 70th floor. After co-workers transferred him to a new, specifically-designed evacuation chair, it took them one hour to bring him out. Ten minutes after they left, the building collapsed.

after they left. Others were not as fortunate. Most evacuation plans called for people with mobility disabilities to remain where they were until rescue personnel could come assist them. Those who followed the evacuation plans and their rescuers died when the towers collapsed.
These unnecessary deaths have
increased awareness nationwide of the need to consider people with disabilities when planning for emergency situations. People with disabilities are at greater risk not only during terror attacks, but also during natural disasters and other emergencies.
Deaf people cannot hear fire alarms, tornado sirens or verbal instructions. People with mobility disabilities have difficulty escaping from buildings, particularly if elevators are disabled. Blind people may have difficulty finding their way out of an unfamiliar building, especially when people panic and jostle them. People with mental retardation or other cognitive disabilities may have trouble understanding instructions.
The University needs contingency plans for the safety of people with disabilities.
People with disabilities need to be involved and contribute to the development of those plans. According to
results from a late 2001 Harris Poll, 58 percent of people with disabilities don't know who to contact in their community for emergency plans in the event of a disaster. Of those people with disabilities who are employed, 50 percent said they know of no plans to safely evacuate themselves from their workplace.
This July, President Bush announced an Executive Order for the Department of Homeland Security to include people with disabilities in the national emergency preparedness effort.
It is your responsibility to educate yourself, especially if you have a disability that may make it harder for you to evacuate a building. The Department of Homeland Security has two Web sites that contain checklists for evacuation procedures: www.ready.gov and www.fema.gov.
It is crucial for people with disabilities, their families, co-workers, classmates, employers and friends to work together and develop plans for every type of emergency situation that may happen. There is no better time than now. If you have a disability, be self-reliant and seize the initiative to ensure your safety. People with disabilities cannot always rely on good Samaritans.
not always rely on good. Protect yourself. Be prepared.

A vote for Bush endangers troops
Editor's note: This column is addressed to Andrew Burress, a lifelong friend of the author and former KU student who's now a co-pilot in the Navy stationed in Maine.
Dear Andy,
Now we disagree on who should be the next President of the United States. You support George W. Bush. You say John Kerry's voting record suggests he'd send you somewhere to fight with no funding to win the peace.
As lifelong buddies, we've had our disagreements. When you enrolled in the U.S. Navy three years ago, I had my reservations, but I respected your decision and supported you.
STEPHEN SHUPE

Well listen up, soldier. A close examination of Kerry's record proves he'd be a good war president. When put to the same scrutiny, the current administration's record proves President Bush deserves a one-way ticket back to Crawford, Texas.
In 2002, as a senator of Massachusetts, Kerry voted for a resolution authorizing President Bush to go to the United Nations to build a coalition and hold Saddam Hussein accountable for violating U.N. resolutions. Contrary to Republican spin, this was not a vote for the President's war, which bypassed the United Nations entirely.
GUEST COMMENTARY
In 2003, Kerry voted for a resolution authorizing the transfer of $87 billion to fund the War in Iraq. That's right, Kerry voted to war the war. There were actually two bills put before the Senate. The one Kerry voted for authorized the $87 billion and called upon the top 1 percent of wealthiest taxpayers to subsidize the bill. The one Kerry voted against – the one that ultimately passed the Senate – authorized the $87 billion but gave the top 1 percent a break.

After Operation Enduring Freedom, in which the President launched attacks on the Taliban for harboring members of Al-Qaeda, the administration officially turned its attention away from Afghanistan and to Iraq. In June of 2002, Human Rights Watch reported that warlords were making a power grab in Afghanistan. Two years later these warlords, who are closely associated with the Taliban and the extremists who have hijacked the religion of Islam, now control the majority of that country.

Asked about this highly illegal activity, in which classified information the CIA uses to protect soldiers like you became declassified, the White House said the President had "no plans to ask his staff members whether they played a role."
This spring, the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. A report written by Major General Antonio M. Taguba stated that the soldiers at Abu Ghraib had not been adequately trained to operate a prison. The prison held up to 7000 prisoners at once, but only a single U.S. battalion was assigned duty there.

According to The New York Times, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave President Bush legal advice that led to the President's declaration that he could suspend the Geneva Conventions to fight the War on Terror.
I hope you study these issues closely before casting your ballot on Nov. 2. I worry about your safety when I think of four more years of this administration's incompetence and deception.

CBS News apologizes recants untrue segment
CBS: Source misled network about Bush military record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — CBS News apologized yesterday for a "mistake in judgment" in its story questioning President Bush's National Guard service, claiming it was misled by the source of documents that several experts have dismissed as fakes.
The network said it would appoint an independent panel to look at its reporting about the memos. The story has mushroomed into a major media scandal, threatening the reputations of CBS News and chief anchor Dan Rather.
It also became an issue in the presidential campaign. The White House said the affair raises questions about the connections between CBS's source, retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett, and Democrat John Kerry's campaign.
pagen:
Rather joined CBS News President Andrew Heyward in issuing an apology yesterday
"We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry." Rather said. "It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favorism."
Almost immediately after the story aired Sept. 8, document experts questioned memos purportedly written by Bush's late squadron leader, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, saying they appeared to have been created on a computer and not on the kind of typewriter in use during the 1970s.
CBS strongly defended its story. It wasn't until a week later — after Killian's former secretary said she believed the memos were fake — did the news division admit they were questionable.
Burkett admitted this weekend to CBS that he lied about obtaining the documents from another former National Guard member, the network said.
CBS hasn't been able to conclusively tell how he got them, or even definitely tell whether they're fakes or not. But the network has given up trying to
"Please know that nothing is more important to us than people's trust in our ability and our commitment to report fairly and truthfully."
Dan Rather CBS News chief anchor
defend them.
"Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify them in the report," Heyward said. "We should not have used them."
The Associated Press could not immediately reach Burkett for comment. Rather was set to interview Burkett last night on CBS' evening news program.
Heyward told The Associated Press it was not clear what, if any, disciplinary action would be taken against CBS News employees.
Besides tainting the network's flagship broadcast, 60 Minutes, the report was a damaging blow to Rather, 72. Some have suggested the scandal, along with the low ratings of the CBS Evening News, could hasten Rather's retirement.
"Please know that nothing is more important to us than people's trust in our ability and our commitment to report fairly and truthfully." Rather said.
nulty. Rather than Alex Jones, director of Harvard University's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, said it appeared to be an honest mistake by CBS, not a willful attempt to deceive. But he said the network was too slow to respond.
respond.
"I think that their delaying and obvious resistance to acknowledge the evident realities has kept the story alive a lot longer than it needed to be and was a lot more damaging to CBS than it needed to be," he said.
For 60 Minutes, it's the biggest ethical mess since the 1995 incident captured in the movie The Insider, which depicted the newsmagazine caving to pressure from CBS
lawyers and not airing a whistleblowing report from an extobacco executive.
Jones said questions will probably center on the story's producer, Mary Mapes. She's one of the network's top investigators and broke the story of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal photos. Her immediate boss is Josh Howard, recently named executive producer of the 60 minutes Wednesday edition.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the White House appreciated CBS's expression of regret but that there were still serious questions about Burkett.
"Bill Burkett, who CBS now says is their source, in fact is not an unimpeachable source as was previously claimed," McLellan said. "Bill Burkett is a source who has been discredited and so this raises a lot of questions. There were media reports about Mr. Burkett having senior level contacts with the Kerry campaign."
The Kerry campaign has said it had nothing to do with the story.
Burkett, a Democrat, sent an e-mail last month to several Texas Democrats, saying he had passed along information to former Georgia senator and Kerry supporter Max Cleland about information that would counter criticism of Kerry's Vietnam War service.
service.
Cleland said yesterday that he does "not have any knowledge" about documents used to support the 60 Minutes story.
Heyward told The AP he has "no reason to believe either the Kerry campaign or the Bush campaign was involved in this."
The call for an independent review was reminiscent of CNN's "Tailwind" scandal in 1998. The cable network retracted a story that the U.S. military had used nerve gas in Laos during the Vietnam war.
CNN appointed independent panels to look into the "Tailwind" story and the missed election calls of 2000. Both panels helped to restore trust in the network and resulted in real changes to the networks' operation, said Tom Johnson, CNN's chief executive at the time.
"As with all professions, we screw up at time," Johnson said. "We need to admit it when we do."
Registration drives aim to get student vote in swing states
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Voter registration drives aimed at young people are turning 18-to-24-year-olds into an important variable in the presidential election, especially in decisive battleground states such as Michigan and Wisconsin.
They are the nation's newest swing voters, with polls showing their support for the major candidates has vacillated in recent months. A Harvard University poll found that, in a five-month period, 19 percent of young potential voters changed their minds about whom they'd support.
which they say is a big population of fluid voters, and they're largely unknown," says Ivan Frishberg, outreach and communications coordinator for the nonprofit New Voters Project, which has registered tens of thousands of young people across the country.
Take Kristin Wilson, a 23-year-old in Perrysburg, Ohio, and her 18-year-old sister, Kellyn, a freshman at Ohio State University. Both have registered to vote, but neither identifies as Republican or Democrat and both are taking their time deciding who to vote for.
"I think people underestimate people our age," Kellyn says.
And they shouldn't."
"I think people underestimate people our age. And they shouldn't."
Kellyn Wilson
Ohio State University freshman
"And they shouldn't."
And they still Traditionally, young voters have been among the least likely Americans to vote. Exit polls from the 2000 election found that, of 48 million potential voters younger than 30, only about 18 million of them went to the polls. And in this year's Democratic primaries, widespread support on college campuses did not translate into victories for candidate Howard Dean
Candidates have made some attempts to reach out to college students and other young people. The Bush campaign has a Web log that includes "Barbara and Jenna's journal," detailing the president's daughters' campaign exploits. Democrat John Kerry, who made a campus tour last spring, recently appeared on Comedy Central's The Daily Show and was to appear last night on The Late Show with David Letterman.
The political parties, meanwhile, are using volunteers and paid canvassers to register young voters and get them to the polls. For instance, the College Republican National Committee has 60 field staffers and a multimillion-dollar budget dedicated to turning out young voters for the president in battleground states. The attempts can sometimes fall flat.
"Some of it feels very awkward to young people — like the candidates are trying too hard," says Jane Eisner, author of the new book Taking Back the Vote: Getting American Youth Involved in Our Democracy.
Other times, young people feel ignored, says Stephen Lucas, a high school junior in Leechburg, Pa.
TUES
"I haven't heard any serious talk about college tuition, or even people our age mentioned," says Lucas, who works with a group called Freedom's Answer to get upperclassmen interested in voting.
It's still anybody's guess how many young people have registered in his state, another thought to be a toss-up. Michigan is one of the few that has compiled registration numbers by age.
Bush and Kerry set debate dates
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DERRY, N.H. — Negotiators for President Bush and Democrat John Kerry agreed yesterday to three 90-minute debates beginning Sept. 30, including one town-hall format with questions from undecided voters in the audience.
The two campaigns essentially went along with recommendations by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates — except that the topic for the first debate will be foreign policy and homeland security rather than the economy as the commission had suggested.
Details of the debates were announced by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, the chief negotiator for Bush, and attorney Vernon Jordan for Kerry.
The final debate, which the commission had said should be about foreign policy, will now be about the economy.
The first debate will be Sept.
30 at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla., the second one in a town-hall style format is at Washington University in St. Louis on Oct. 8, and the third at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., on Oct. 13.
Both Bush and Kerry "are pleased with today's announcement and look forward to the debates," Baker and Jordan said in a joint statement yesterday. Details of the agreement were outlined in a 32-page document.
The two campaigns also agreed to the commission's selection of moderators: Jim Lehrer of PBS for the first, Charles Gibson of ABC for the second, Bob Schieffer of CBS for the third, and Gwen fill of PBS for the vice presidential debate.
for the vice president. The two sides agreed that the three presidential debates would just be between Bush and Kerry and not include any third-party candidates like Ralph Nader.
candidacy The two campaigns debated over the format of the town-hall style session in St. Louis.
With a guaranteed television audience of tens of millions of people, the debates could be pivotal given the closeness of the race.
National polls are mixed, with some showing a dead heat and others showing a modest lead for the president.
In a poll by the Pew Research Center, 29 percent of those surveyed said the debates would matter in deciding how they would vote. Some 68 percent said their minds were already made up.
Undecided voters could make a difference. According to a Nielsen survey, 46.6 million people watched the first debate between Bush and Al Gore in 2000.
The following debates drew audiences of 37.6 million, and 37.7 million, respectively.

WEINSTEIN: St. Louis in April
Last year, the injuries to Simien, Langford and Giddens definitely hindered their play, but despite all the nagging injuries, the Jayhawks were still able to play well enough to almost reach their third consecutive final four.
With four returning starters, all, I hope, healthy, there is no limit to what the seniors and this team can accomplish. It may be the best chance the 'Hawks have to turn Lawrence into title town for the next couple of years. The three seniors and possibly Giddens will leave Lawrence in search of NBA millions after this season is finished.
The time has come for Simien, Langford and Miles to lead this team to the top of a ladder in St. Louis in April.
I don't want to hear any excuses. They need to get it done. This is their team. It's time to show the world exactly who they are and what they're made of.
Kansas will compete for the title in 2005. There's no question about that. Will they win it? I'm not a psychic. I can't say for sure.

Today is a 7.
By the time you explain to
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 7.
another person how you really want things done, you may have changed your mind about what that is. Don't get angry.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 5.
It's not always true that the harder you work, the better you'll be paid. This time, for example, the job is so routine that it's easy. And the pay's good.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8.
There'll be a little more time for love, games and playing with children over the next day or two. The money's coming in steadily. This is as good as it gets.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 4.
Today is a
Something doesn't quite compute, but don't give up on it yet.
Once you figure out what you need, it'll be easier to find.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is an 8.
Don't discuss your financial situation with the others. Don't offer to pay their way, it's best if they learn not to be so dependent.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5.
Instead of losing money for standing up for your principles, it looks like you've gained respect and possibly even cash. If the latter hasn't shown up yet, go ahead and ask for a raise.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8.
Your natural instincts lead you, but there are obstacles. It's always a good idea to clean up an old mess before starting a new one.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6.
Suddenly you realize you don't have as much as you thought. Is it because you counted wrong, or just used it up? It doesn't matter. It's time to get more.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is an 8.
Your friends are full of good advice, but you're not required to follow everything they say. Just because they speak in a strong tone of voice doesn't mean they're right. Though, this time they are.

Transfers enhance 'Hawks
www.kansan.com
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
This time last year, Kansas junior cornerback Theo Baines was roaming the defensive backfield for Tyler Community College in Fort Worth, Texas. Now, he's starting for a Jayhawk secondary that is only giving up an average of 170
passing yards and one touchdown per game.
20
Characterized by his on-the-field emotion, Baines is one of a few on the Jayhawk defense who have made an impact after making a transfer from another school.
"I love playing football, there's nothing like going out there on game day and competing against another
Theo Baines
Newcomers Baines, Ashley, Keith help lineup
team." Baines said.
Baines' emotion has already been on display this season at Memorial Stadium in the way he interacts with the crowd. When he wants the fans to get louder, he raises
his arms to the Kansas faithful.
Against Tulsa, in Kansas' first game of the season, Baines had a near interception and could be seen jumping
up and down, partly in frustration and partly in excitement. Later in the game, he got the interception he wanted.
"Theo has really helped us in a lot of ways making plays," said senior safety Tony Stubbs. "He's just a real good guy all around."
Coach Mark Mangino said he
"We needed help at corner, and we didn't want to recruit one unless we absolutely thought he was going to come in and play." Mangino said. "Theo has lived up to that."
brought Baines in to help solidify a secondary that struggled at times last season.
Baines has broken up three passes on the year to go along with eight tackles. He also has one sack this season, in addition to the interception.
Baines isn't the only new Jayhawk to come from Texas. Junior defensive end Jermial Ashley was a teammate of Baines last year at Tyler Community College. Ashley has been a pleasant surprise for Kansas this year. He has eight tackles on the season, three for a loss of yards. He also has a sack and a fumble recovery.
"He has worked hard to improve his fundamentals and is a very focused guy." Mangino said of Ashley. "He's quiet, takes care of his business, and I
think that is why he has been a solid guy for us."
With Ashley getting solid pressure on the quarterback, the Jayhawk defense has recorded nine sacks on the season.
Also getting pressure on the quarterback from the defensive end spot is another transfer, junior Charlton Keith. Keith has recovered two fumbles including one that he returned for a touchdown. Keith has made an impact this year despite spending most of his summer taking classes to ensure that he would be enrolled at Kansas this fall. The time commitment to class caused Keith to lose weight, and he is still getting back into physical shape.
"He is now in our in-season weight lifting program, and physically has a ways to go." Mangino said. "But since he has a motor because he is a very intense young guy, he has been able to contribute."
Keith spent his freshman year at the University of Minnesota where he led
"We needed help at corner,and
we didn't want to recruit one unless we absolutely thought he was going to come in and play."
Mark Mangino
Kansas football coach
the team in sacks, but then he transferred to Minnesota West Community College. Keith is happy to be back at a Division-I university, as he credits the competition with helping him become a stronger football player.
"Going to junior college for years I didn't work out as much." Keith said. "I didn't eat as much. Now I'm eating four or five meals a day. I'm working out a lot, so now all the weight that I'm putting on is more or less muscle."

We have had the pleasure of watching a recruiting class grow into the dominant core of one of college basketball's most dangerous teams.
Intramurals
How many college students can say that they've seen their team reach two Final Fours and an Elite Eight while they were in school? Not many.
The three seniors — point guard Aaron Miles, swingman Keith Langford and forward Wayne Simien
have emerged as one of the best, if not the best recruiting class this University has ever had.
I'm not going to make any predictions on this season. I'm not that bold yet, but I will say that these three have a chance to leave their mark on a storied basketball tradition that already includes names like Wilt Chamberlain and Danny Manning, 12 Final Fours and two NCAA National Championships.
They don't boast the individual accolades of the Drew Gooden/Kirk Hinrich/Nick Collison class, but they may have that chance over the course of this season. Collectively, they have accomplished as much as any team in Kansas basketball history.
It's time for the three seniors to step up and take this team to the next level. They've had a year to learn and adjust to coach Bill Self's system. Throw in a talented freshman class, sophomore starter J.R. Giddens and senior sixth man Michael Lee, and this team has the chance to do something it hasn't done since 1988: Win the National Championship.
The major question mark for fans looking ahead to this year's basketball season is the health of Keith Langford, who is coming off summer knee surgery.
In Canada, reviews were mixed, as Langford turned in some stellar play, but he was not consistently his explosive self. With any luck, Keith will be turning in highlight reel dunks and beating defenders off the dribble by the time the regular season starts on Nov. 19.

Editor's Note: BYB40 is a men's intramural flag football team. The team plays in the men's open division—the largest and most competitive football division. The past two years, BYB40 has made it to the division championship game in Memorial Stadium, only to fall short both times. Kansas sportswriter Jessica Fergen will follow the men of BYB40 as they attempt to make it back to Memorial Stadium and come away with a championship for the first time.
This week we join featured intramural team Beat You By 40 in the second stage of their mission of football dominance.
However, the road to the ultimate game took a slight turn this week when BYB40 took on Apartment M in a game Intramural Sports Director Kurt Schooley said could be a preview match-up of the men's open division championship.
"I think anytime you're talking about a team that was in the championship last year and a team that was a semi-finalist last year, it could be," said Schooley. "However, there's still a lot of flag football to be played."
From the beginning, the play was back and forth. One team intercepted, the other team countered by sacking the

That phrase was as dirty as it got in a game characterized by good sportsmanship and each team's favorite play: interceptions.
Co-ed games differ slightly from regular games. Each team is allowed four men and four women on the field at any time. If there are not enough women on a team, they must compete with fewer players than the other team, as in the case of Douthart/Amini.
During the game, every other completed play is "closed," meaning it must involve a woman passing, receiving, or running — simply hiking the ball doesn't count.

New plan, new identity
Firm to research, create new visual identity for KU
BY Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A new marketing plan will aim to tell the tale of the University of Kansas. Part of the plan calls for an updated visual identity, but the Jayhawk mascot isn't going anywhere.
The University has recently designed the plan to bolster internal and external communications. It will involve new marketing strategies, including branding the University with a new visual identity.
"We can do a much better job telling the success stories of our faculty and staff." Chancellor Robert Hemenway said.
The higher education business has become more competitive, and the University could not continue to send unclear messages to key audiences, said David Johnston, director of marketing for the University.
The University paid Carnegie Communications $32,000 to survey faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, alumni and prospective students about their opinions of the seal, Jayhawk and the University's labels. No tuition dollars will fund the cost of the new marketing plan, said Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for University Relations. He said part of the money would come from private funding, trademark royalties and University Relations.
"KU has to be looking at ways to do more with less," he said. "These are tight times and that idea has now spread to communications."
The marketing plan consists of eight marketing teams that will attempt to target one area of improvement. Some examples are state funding, reputation and benefits, visual identity and senior marketing. Hemenway is chairman o the senior marketing team.
Johnston is co-chair of the visual identity team with Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations. The University is associated with many different identities, including the University seal and

mascot. Johnston said the goal was to find one central image that bridged the gap between the different identities and united them. He also emphasized that the Jayhawk mascot would remain a part of the new identity.
Almost two-thirds of alumni indicated the Campanile was the landmark they remember most fondly. More than one-third chose Allen Fieldhouse.
"Kansas University" was preferred by less than 2 percent of all audiences.
The "Rock Chalk" chant was cited as the tradition that alumni remember most fondly, followed by walking down the hill at graduation and attending basketball games.
Johnston said that anything the University did would be based on marketing research data. Johnston said the team would have the central concepts by the end of the semester. The concepts would be finalized mid-

spring and the new identity should be finished by the end of the Spring semester, he said. He said the seal would probably be reserved for ceremonial and official uses. The Latin seal is so detailed that it didn't reproduce well, he said.
Some students said they thought developing a new central image was a good idea.

Coffee shop Pulse opens softly today
The staff at Pulse, the coffee shop at the Underground, is getting peppedbecause Pulse could be part of the Underground's opening today.
The Underground will have a soft opening today, meaning that it will open around 10:30 a.m., but the grand opening is still set for Thursday.
Josh McBeth, Oklahoma City senior, had to learn coffee lingo in case a customer asked for something like a "skinny dry sleeper friendly." For anyone not up to par on coffee-speak, that means a decaf coffee with skim milk and foam only.
Mebeth said he wasn't sure if Pulse would be part of the soft opening.
"They don't tell us because they don't know." McBeth said.
A soft opening gives the Underground flexibility to be sure all of the equipment is working and all of the staff is trained.
"It gives us a little bit more play time before we open up to make sure everything's working properly," said Karen Lewis, manager of the Underground and Hawk Shops.

Judge sets appeal deadline in University records case
Monday, Douglas County District Judge Jack Murphy ruled that the University must release all of the details related to Lew Perkins' contract and compensation.
The University of Kansas must release its athletic director's employment contract or appeal the court's decision by Oct. 18, 2004.
The University's counsel had argued that the Kansas Open Records Act protected those documents, but Murphy said he disagreed.

Bartles fights to be 'fit' for military
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITER
Chuck Bartles, a graduate student at the University of Kansas, has one more appeal left to prove to a medical review board that he is fit for military duty.
Miranda Lenning
On Thursday, Sept. 9, Bartles took an oath during a re-enlistment ceremony at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, N.C., after a medical review board deemed Bartles fit for active duty. On Tuesday, Sept. 14, he said he found out that the review board had changed its mind and declared him unfit for duty.
Bartles was injured in Iraq on Oct. 23, 2003 when the military Humvee he was riding in struck a roadside bomb. His right arm was injured during the attack and had to be removed above the elbow. Bartles was at the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C. for eight months. He went through rehabilitation and was released from the hospital in June.
Bartles has appealed twice to the review board. The board declared him unfit after his first appeal, but declared him fit after he presented himself to the board on July 22, 2004. Bartles said his sergeant major and commander accompanied him to the meeting where he had to plead his case for why he considered himself to be physically fit for duty.
Bartles, who can only appeal three times, has to complete his third appeal by Sept. 24. Bartles said there had been no explanation as to why the medical board had changed its mind.
Nancy Robbins, Bartles' mother, said her husband, Ken Robbins, received a call from Bartles about eight hours after the 2003 attack occurred. Bartles wanted to tell them himself instead of having the military or Red Cross contact them, Robbins said. She said she supported her son's decision to re-list.

Bad things happened to people all of the time, Bartles said, but most people just kept going. He wanted to be back on active duty no matter what could happen, and expected he might be back in Iraq within the next year.
Bartles said he also had another prosthetic that was painted to look like his other arm. The third prosthetic is a hook.

He said the "super" arm was nice, but he preferred to use the other two prosthetics the majority of the time because they didn't require batteries.

three prosthetics. He described one of the prosthetics as being his "super" arm. The $70,000 prosthetic arm has electrodes that attach to his biceps and triceps. The electrodes in the arm respond to his muscles whenever they are flexed.
While in Iraq, Bartles said he helped verify that contracting work between the United States and Iraq was being done and served as a civil affairs liaison between the U.S. and the Iraqi people.
He said he was confident that the board would grant his third appeal and find him fit for duty.
Robbins said she was dumfounded as to why the board told Bartles he was fit for duty and then took it back. Being in the military had always been something her son wanted to do, she said.
"He's very determined to stay in the military," Robbins said. "I'm sure he'll find a way."

What happens if I've got a conflict between academic obligations and a religious holiday?
The first and best step to take is to consult your professor, so that you can work out a solution together. If you can't work out a mutually acceptable agreement, you can always consult the University Ombudsman (785) 684-3506. The official rules about holidays are as follows:
University Senate Rules and Regulations, Article I. Section 4. (1.43);

"Examinations and tests other than final examinations should not be scheduled in conflict with mandated religious observances.

Man lived life adventurously
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
From his roots in rural Michigan, Eugene Armstrong became a modernday swashbuckler whose work in construction took him to war zones in Bosnia, Angola and, finally, Iraq.
"He was a guy who went out and looked at a plot of land and said we're going to build something this big and this is how we're going to do it," said Armstrong's cousin, Rick Gamber.
Armstrong, 52, who was taken hostage last week, was shown being executed on a video posted Monday on an Islamic Web site. A posting on yesterday purported to show the beheading of Armstrong's colleague and Baadhid housemate, lack Hensley.
In Georgia, Hensley's wife said the construction worker's family was holding out hope that reports of his killing were false. Hensley would have marked his 49th birthday today.
"We are still hopeful at this time that
Jack Hensley is still with us," Pati Hensley said in a statement Tuesday.
Hensley said in a statement. A third man who lived with Armstrong in a house in a Baghdad neighborhood, British citizen Kenneth Bigley, also was taken captive. The three men worked for Gulf Services Co., based in the United Arab Emirates.
Armstrong, a field engineer, spent some of his childhood in Hillsdale County. He ended up moving around to such locations as Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Germany with his mother and her second husband, who was in the military.
The travel bug apparently stuck with him. Armstrong came back to Michigan, but left around 1990.
In recent years, Armstrong had been living with his wife in Thailand.
Armstrong had written memoirs about his adventures, which he hoped to have published.
Gamber speculated that "a fairly lucrative compensation package" combined with Armstrong's sense of
adventure and confidence that he knew how to survive in war zones — lured him to Iraq.
Armstrong's manuscript "told some pretty interesting tales of what it's like to go to a job where every day people are firing at you," Gamber said. "He talked about how in Bosnia no one would ride in a pickup truck with him toward the end because he had so many bullet holes in his truck and he'd had so many windshields blown out that he was considered to be bad luck."
In Georgia, Hensley family spokesman Jake Haley said that a Web site has been set up by the family to share information about Hensley. The site included information on where donations could be sent for a college fund set up in the name of Hensley's daughter, Sara.
"Jack is the friend that everybody wants to have," Haley said. "He's always there for you. The world has lost a great human being."
Murderer contrite before death
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A murderer apologized to his victim's family before being executed Tuesday for fatally shooting a San Antonio convenience store clerk during a $45 robbery 11 years ago.
"I am real sorry," Andrew Flores said, looking at the wife of his victim. "I took a family member's life and I shouldn't have. I hope that you can move on. I won't ask for your forgiveness. God will be my judge."
turned and expressed his love to his friends and relatives, including his sobbing mother and sister.
The one-time gang leader then
"Be strong and I will see you all, hopefully not soon," he said.
Flores, 32, was given a lethal injection and pronounced dead at 6:20 p.m.
The Supreme Court in April refuses to review his case. On Friday, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles rejected a commutation request.
Flores pleaded guilty to gunning down John Moreno, 23, whose 1993 murder was recorded by a surveillance camera at the store where he worked.
Jurors also were shown the video, which shows Moreno emptying the cash register, but balking at surrendering his keys. Moreno gets on his knees begging for his life and Flores shoots him in the head and runs from the store. Then he returns moments later to go through the victim's pockets.
Flores and a companion were arrested within hours of the shooting after the videotape was aired on San Antonio television stations. Flores confessed and gave authorities cash taken in the robbery and the handgun used in the slaying.

City commissioner talking about wireless Lawrence
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Lawrence City Commission could talk about a wireless Lawrence, but that could still be a while away.
Sue Hack, Lawrence commissioner, said she received an e-mailed article from a Lawrence resident about the city of Philadelphia going wireless.
The city of Philadelphia is looking at becoming an entire hot spot, which would mean the entire city would be wireless and people could access the Internet from anywhere in Philadelphia. The project could cost around $10 million to get
started and $1.5 million to maintain every year. The hot spot would have a coverage area of 135 square miles.
The transmitters, which allows the Internet signal to travel through radio waves, would most likely be placed on top of lampposts.
Hack said the idea of a wireless city was interesting, but whether the idea could be turned into reality remained to be seen.
If the idea turns out to be something the commission wants to pursue, then it could be placed in the next budget cycle, which is in 2006, Hack said.
She said there were a lot of other projects, such as construction, that needed funding that would come before the city could provide wireless Internet to everyone.
"I think it would be really exciting for a community to be able to provide that for an individual," Hack said.
Ron Hall, information systems director for Lawrence, said there were several issues the city would need to consider before trying to make Lawrence a completely wireless community. One issue, Hall said, is the city would more than likely have to make the wireless program a separate department or utility. The city would be in charge of offering technical support and handle billing if the city decided to charge for
the service. Hall said.
He said another issue would be that the city could be in direct competition with other Internet and wireless providers in the area, such as Sunflower Broadband.
Hall said the cost of the project would depend on the coverage area and how many towers the city would need to install to cover that area.
Hall said Hack was only seeking opinion and comment on the e-mailed article and that there had been no discussion by the commission on the issue.
Sunflower Broadband already provides 20 wireless hot spots throughout Lawrence.
Ashley Seeger, customer support specialist for Sunflower
Broadband, said hot spots allow people to access the Internet without having to mess with wires.
Seeger said Sunflower has seen an increase in hot spot usage, but one of the issues was that not everyone had a laptop.
Sunflower Broadband has between 15,000 and 17,000 customers, residential and business, connected to the Internet.
He said another issue with making Lawrence completely wireless was coverage and where towers would be installed.
As long as a tower is in a person's line of sight, then the person is in a coverage area. Seeger said.
He said Sunflower
Broadband had conducted surveys asking Lawrence residents what they thought about hot spots and wireless Internet.
Dianah Neff, chief information officer for Philadelphia, said the city of Philadelphia was planning on being completely wireless by June 2006.
She said the wireless capability would allow Philadelphia to keep up with the 21st century and the city's vastly growing population, which is currently at 1.5 million people.
Philadelphia, Seattle and Chaska, Minn., are three cities that have have started initiatives to become completely wireless.

Fear and campaigns in America
Nation safer after Sept. 11 Bush ignored citizen safety
With billions spent on new programs to make America more secure, it is certainly gutsy to claim that the safety of Americans is more in jeopardy now than ever before. After all, government has — in a largely unprecedented bipartisan

effort — equipped first responders, audited failed policy, reorganized countless agencies and posts, spied on Americans and visitors to the United States and even invaded multiple countries. What else is to be done?
The University of Kansas has no armed anti-terrorism forces securing the campus and there is no gendarmerie — a group of national police officers — patrolling Massachusetts Street. But these were measures I witnessed this summer in the heavily
militarized and, in my opinion, highly secure capital of Turkey, Ankara. It doesn't seem appealing to trample yet more civil liberties and sacrifice yet more social programs by over-funding an obsession with security in America.
Since the October 2001 anthrax incidents, no terrorist incidents have affected Americans in the homeland. America is not experiencing the same disorder as countries like Russia and Iraq, where ideologically motivated persons intent on harming civilians roam with impunity.
Each candidate has asserted that there is a clear and present danger. Kerry demands that the government "meet new threats" and face challenges to the ever-vulnerable homeland and Bush demands that the government "face new challenges" and meet threats to the ever-vulnerable homeland.
The similarities between what both presidential candidates are saying are striking. Both messages rely on fear and an immagined sense of urgency and impending danger. With the way the campaigns are spreading their messages now, fear may well be the path to power for the victorious candidate.
Fear is also the path to new policy. Both candidates are demanding new
spending on big-ticket homeland security items, new military forces and continued military engagement abroad. These demands eclipse what is important now that we've secured the homeland: schools wrought with inequity, increasing unemployment and the like.
Leave out the fear and you
leave out the problem. We are safer now, safe enough to place our worries on the things that matter most.
The only thing Americans have to be afraid of now is fear-mongering. That's what is really scary.

In this heated election season, with so much emphasis on national security in light of the invasion and current troubles in Iraq, it is essential that we all ask whether the nation is truly safer three years after Sept. 11.

RYAN SCARROW opinion@kansan.com
Our nation is not any more secure. While our country has taken strides to address matters of security that had been so obviously overlooked before the terrorist attacks, the Bush administration and the Republican Congress have not followed through.
They have shown themselves to be distracted by foreign wars and tax cuts while putting homeland security on the back burner.
For example, the state of our port security which many experts consider one of the greatest potential threats to the nation,
would be laughable were it not so tragic: Ninety-five percent of cargo containers enter the United States without any physical inspection, according to the August issue of Mother Iones.
SACK'S VIEW
The same article stated that the Customs Service urged the government to provide 1.600 permanent, upgraded
radiation detectors to be deployed nationwide. The administration's budget for 2005 will fund only 165.
And on the subject of the war in Iraq, a recent Op-Art piece in The New York Times entitled 'Safety Second' illustrated what could have been done with the then $144.4 billion spent on the invasion and aftermath in Iraq. It outlined 17 fundamental programs and urgent safety upgrades in spending, with the costs totaling the same $144.4 billion.

But most disquieting was that the administration is currently providing for such items as upgrading the Coast Guard fleet, outfitting firefighters, improving radio for first responders and securing weaponsgrade nuclear material. All this for a war that was apparently for naught, as the Iraq Survey Group has just said in its final report.
The administration has tried to convince us that military might and effort overseas can help take care of the terror threat here at home. But as a columnist in the London-based The Guardian warned after the appalling events in Beslan two weeks ago, "In asymmetrical warfare everyone is involved and anyone is a potential victim."
Sept. 11 was supposed to teach us that we are not immune to attack. But the government has been unwilling to learn from our tragic experiences or change policy and methods to provide more protection to our citizens.
In so doing, the bureaucrats have kept the nation wondering and worrying about what we may see tomorrow.

EDITOR'S NOTE
图
Comment needs fact clarification
A Free For All comment printed yesterday needs clarification.
The so-called "goofy-looking brick pedestal" on Memorial Drive is actually the Korean War Memorial under construction. The monument will serve as a memorial to the approximately 60 University of Kansas alumni, faculty and students who served during the Korean War.
The Free For All caller implied that money from increased tuition went toward the construction of the memorial. This is not true. Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor,
Alumni and friends of the University from South Korea contributed the majority of the $120,000 raised through the Kansas University Endowment Association for the memorial. Other funds came from an area alumnus.
Another error in the comment was the location of the memorial. The memorial is west of the Campanile near Snow Hall. It is not behind Bailey Hall, as the caller said.
The memorial will join other monuments along Memorial Drive that commemorate the sacrifices and honor of those from the University who served our country in times of conflict.
The existing memorials include the Kansas Memorial Union and Memorial Stadium for World War I; the Campanile and Memorial Drive for World War II; and the Vietnam Memorial, according to the University Relations Web site. www.urku.edu.
The comment was in bad taste and contained misleading information. It should not have been published.

BARTLES: willing to fight more
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Major Jeff Maxcy, professor of military science at the University, said typically when a soldier had suffered a severe injury, he would be medically retired. Maxcy said there were some
cases in which a soldier could convince or persuade the medical review board that he was fit for active duty.
Maxcy said a soldier needed to be able to perform certain tasks for his military occupational specialty in order for the board to consider him fully fit. Tasks include being able to drive a vehicle, carry and fire a rifle and lift equipment.
"It's definitely inspiring to see someone who's so dedicated to serving his country that he's
willing to put himself in harm's way a second time," Maxy said.
He said it was very likely that Bartles could find himself being shipped somewhere for active duty if the board did find him fully fit.
Bartles is stationed at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C., and is taking a six-month-long Russian language course at the Special Forces Language School at Fort Bragg. He will graduate from the language school in November and will graduate from the University in December with a masters in Russian and Eastern European studies. He wants to eventually attend law school at the University.

MARKETING: New symbol could combine seal, mascot
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"You have to take risks in business," said Tara Haghnegahdar, Shawnee freshman. "It would be good to narrow it down to one symbol."
Other students said they understood the concept of a central image, but thought the variety of symbols was good for the University.
Duchess Williams, Miami senior, said both the seal and the Jayhawk represented the University.
She said she thought the University benefitted from being able to showcase its different aspects.
"The more things we can show off, the better," Williams said.
Brett Nelson said the Jayhawk was the best known symbol of the University, but the seal represented what the University was founded on and should not be completely phased out.
"It would be good if they
could incorporate them together," said Nelson, Eden Prairie, Minn., sophomore.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said the new plan would benefit students.
Roney is a member of the senior marketing team.She said the new marketing plan would increase the value of a KU degree after students graduated.
"I want your investment to pay off down the road," Roney said.
She said the new marketing plan would give students a better appreciation for the University and would better equip students to tell their KU story.
University officials will hold a town hall meeting Thursday from 3:30 until 5 p.m.at the Big 12 Room on Level 5 of the Kansas Union. The meeting is open to everyone to discuss the new marketing plan.

Baseball loses to football
Fall and football. The two words seem synonymous with one another. This season, everything else in the national sporting world now bows to football.
I love football. But every year its arrival is made so overwhelmingly present that it shadows the professional sport with greater fall importance: baseball.
I understand the hype behind kicking off the National Football League and college football seasons, but the fact is this is play-off time in the big leagues.
I am going a little overboard here, it's not like baseball just drops off the planet once football starts. It is depressing, though, for the baseball fan to watch baseball coverage go from almost constant to thrown in somewhere after football highlights.
Even worse is that the overlap causes the football uproar to crowd the major league season at its peak point.
While the onslaught of commentary keeps us informed about week two in the NFL, the fact that there are merely two weeks left in the Major League Baseball season is barely an afterthought.
I walk through campus and hear the majority of students dishing out this week's fantasy football scores, questioning how Notre Dame managed to beat Michigan and Michigan State or how the Kansas City Chiefs can already be left for dead.
I must remember that this is a college campus and college baseball is not at full tilt the way our beloved major league past time is. I love that we back our football team and want Saturday's games at the top of everyone's conversation.
What I don't hear, however, is that Barry Bonds became a member of the 700 club on Friday, that Ichiro Suzuki is only 22 hits away from breaking George Sisler's 1920 record or that we just might see baseball's two biggest curses in the post season again this year.
It is no one's fault that the NFL starts its season when it does. The

Freshman kickers take starting jobs
After missing 18 of his last 39 field goals, senior kicker Johnny Beck has lost the field goal-kicking duties.
At yesterday's weekly press conference, coach Mark Mangino announced that freshman Scott Webb would take over all field goal kicking for the team.
"I think he's ready." Mangino said. "The position is his now."
Beck will retain his kickoff duties, an area where he's been very successful this season.
Beck will keep this job because of his skill and Webb's questionable leg strength.
"He doesn't have the range that Johnny has," Mangino said of Webb, "but his leg is much stronger than it was in spring football."
Beck was not the only Kansas kicker to lose his job.
Senior punter Chris Tyrell bobbled two snaps Saturday and was replaced by freshman Kyle Tucker, who will be the new starter.
"On the road, we can't mishandle snaps." Mangino said.
Tucker had one punt against Northwestern for 46 yards.

Golfers win on their turf

KANSAN SPORTSWIRTER
The No.24 Kansas golf team played the role of host and victor yesterday, winning the 2004 Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence with an 870 three-round total.
"Any time you can win without playing your best golf, it's a good thing," coach Ross Randall said. "The golf course played tough again today and the pin placements were very difficult, and we handled it well."
The Jayhawks opened tournament play with two rounds on Monday. As a team, they shot 292 and 291 and finished with a 583 total after two rounds. The first-day total put the team in second place, one stroke behind the University of Texas-San Antonio.
JAYHAWK TOURNAMENT RESULTS
The Jayhawks did more than make up the one-stroke deficit yesterday, firing a 287 team score to place first with an 870 three-round total, defeating the Roadrunners by 14 strokes.
Senior Kevin Ward continued his winning ways, taking the individual championship for his fourth tournament title since June. He shot a three-round total of 212, including a 69 on the last day

advancing him to a playoff for the individual title. Ward won the sudden death playoff against Kansas State senior Matt VanCleave in two holes.
Senior Andrew Price finished fourth with a three round total of 216.
Price said that he expected successful results because the Jayhawks used the course at Alvamar as their practice facility.
"For not hitting as well as I would have liked to and not putting as well as I would have liked, I played OK," Price said.
Six Kansas golfers competed individually without contributing to the overall team score. Among them was sophomore Barrett Martens, who finished in a tie for
17th after shooting a 221 three-round total. Martens' tournament included a second-round 68, the lowest of the day and his career.
"Three of my last six rounds have been in the 60s in qualifying," Martens said. "I just knew that that was going to come out."
Kansas State placed second in the tournament with a three-round total of 877. Texas-San Antonio placed third, shooting a three-round total of 882
The Jayhawks will try to continue their winning streak October 4-5 at the Windon Memorial Intercollegiate in Lake Forest, Ill.

Senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau hauled in two touchdown passes in the game, putting him at the top of the team in individual touchdowns this season.
TREVOR KINNEY
Those three touchdown receptions
RIDEAU
place Rideau in a three-way tie for third among Big 12 receivers.
In addition to his touchdown receptions, Rideau leads the team in total catches as well as total yards. Rideau has racked up 164 yards and pulled down 16 passes, averaging 10.2 yards per catch.
"I feel like I've been growing, getting comfortable with playing in the game," Rideau said.
Before the season started, Rideau and junior receiver Mark Simmons were expected to catch the vast majority of passes.
In addition, with the graduation of quarterback Bill Whittimore, the team was expected to depend on the passing game more than it did last year. Whittimore's replacement, sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann, is built more like a pocket passer and is more
comfortable in that role than as a runner.
"We like to throw the football," Barmann said after Saturday's loss to Northwestern.
In Saturday's game, the Jayhawks rushed just 26 times while attempting 51 passes.
"The game started slow for me, but once the game got going, situations got a little more tough, a little more challenging," Rideau said.
Rideau thrived off of those challenges. Both of his touchdowns in Saturday's game came in the fourth quarter as Kansas was trying to mount a comeback from a 13-3 deficit.
Rideau's catches came just five minutes apart. The second propelled the Jayhawks to its only lead of the game, 17-13.
This weekend, Kansas will take on Texas Tech, a team that loves to pass the ball. The Red Raiders' style of play has been compared by some to the high-scoring intensity of a video game. Last weekend, Texas Tech beat Texas Christian. 70-35.
Rideau said he wasn't worried about the Jayhawks' ability to keep up with the Red Raiders.
He also said, however, that the receivers were going to depend on the running backs and the offensive line to get things started and to help keep the Texas Tech defense off balance.
"With the type of offense we run, we can match throwing the ball, have a shootout all of the game." Rideau said.
"I just want to help my team win and get to a bowl game," Rideau said.
Recruiting: a whole new ballpark
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Recruiting athletes to the University of Kansas could be a little trickier this year.
The University did away with Crimson Crew, the organization designed specifically for the recruitment of football players, before the start of this athletic season and just before the NCAA enacted stricter recruiting regulations for all universities nationwide. The new reforms will directly affect the recruiting process for all athletic programs at the University.
The NCAA adopted the new reforms after the organization's board of directors met on Aug. 9, 2004, in the aftermath of a recruiting scandal at the
University of Colorado. In the Colorado case, several women accused the football program of using sex and alcohol to entice potential athletes. The reforms involve tighter regulations about the treatment of recruits during visits.
Under the new regulations, only KU Ambassadors or current athletes can recruit prospective athletes, said Kara Milligan, former Crimson Crew director. Organizations that recruit only athletes, such as Crimson Crew, are no longer allowed.
Without the help of Crimson Crew, the University has to adjust to a new recruiting process, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
"With Crimson Crew we knew what was going to happen," said Marchiony. "Whenever you change the process you
have to concentrate on it to make sure that you have all of your ducks in a row."
--with new NCAA rules.
The football program will be most affected by the elimination of Crimson Crew because it recruits the most athletes, Marchiony said. Milligan said the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the volleyball team, usually had current players host potential recruits.
The University is not the only school that has to make adjustments to comply
Marchiony said the new policy would not affect the number of athletes the University could bring in or the quality of the athletes' visits.
"It will change the process of what we do when they are here," Marchiony said. "Rules change all the time. We just have to adjust."
"Everybody is in the same boat," he said.
The policy changes didn't directly affect the University until the Kansas-Tulsa football game on Sept. 4, the first opportunity for Kansas recruits to see a game during a visit.
The new rules require schools to use standard cars to transport recruits to and from the airport and offer meals that are similar to what are offered on campus. In the past, some schools have chosen to pick recruits up in expensive cars and treat them to high-priced dinners. The NCAA also banned private planes and expensive hotels from the treatment afforded to recruits.

Cyclist doubted
REGENSDORF, Switzerland — Olympic cycling champion Tyler Hamilton declared his innocence yesterday while awaiting results of backup tests for possible blood doping that could cost him the gold medal.
"I have always been an honest person. I am devastated to be here tonight. My family is devastated. My team is devastated. My friends are devastated." Hamilton said, adding that he would "fight this until I don't have a euro left in my pocket."
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
for Hamilton. Follow-up tests were started Tuesday and will be finished Wednesday, although it isn't clear when the results will be announced, Hamilton said.
Cycling's governing body said tests at the Athens Olympics on Aug. 19 and at the Spanish Vuelta on Sept. 11 showed evidence of blood from another person, according to a spokesman for Hamilton's team, Phonak.
Bending it like, well, Beckham
If found guilty of a violation at the Olympics, Hamilton would lose his gold. Three athletes had gold medals revoked for doping during the Aug. 13-29 Olympics; a record 24 athletes — none American — from various sports were cited for drug-test violations at the Athens Olympics.
He said he didn't find out about the result of the Olympic test until Saturday and learned about the other Sept. 16 — the day he pulled out of the Vuelta, citing stomach problems. He acknowledged Tuesday that that move was partly because of the blood test.
Hamilton's gold was one of four medals won by American cyclists at the Athens Games — the team's best showing since winning nine at the boycotted 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
Cycling's governing body, UCI, used a new blood-screening machine in the tests that detects blood transfusions, human growth hormone and synthetic hemoglobin. Until now, there has been no foolproof test for detecting blood transfusions.

"They've tried to bring down Lance Armstrong for years, and now they're trying to bring down Tyler," Bill Hamilton said. "I think it's a witch hunt. It will be proven, mark my words, that this is totally bogus."

Football's oldest team struggles
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Just 20 months ago, his Tampa Bay Buccaneers were celebrating a Super Bowl title, and Jon Gruden was being hailed as a coaching genius. Now all the talk is about whether the Bucs are simply capable of getting the ball in the end zone and winning a game.
Gruden's team is 0-2 for the first time in his career, and the league's youngest coach is battling a growing perception that his team is in ruins.
"I don't have very many friends today, OK," he said. "You find out who your real friends are when you get beat in a humbling, humiliating fashion."
The Bucs have lost four straight games dating to 2003, a rollercoaster year that began with the Super Bowl in January and ended with a 7-9 season
marked by Gruden's ugly spat with receiver Keyshawn Johnson and the coach's rift with former general manager Rich McKay.
Johnson was benched with six weeks remaining in the season. McKay was finished before the end of the year, too, as he left for the Atlanta Falcons.
McKay is the man who helped Tony Dungy build Tampa Bay into a contender. Gruden got the team over the hump, but now some fans fear he and new general manager Bruce Allen have gone overboard in putting their stamp on the roster.
Although Gruden, 41, rejects the notion he has a preference for older players, the Bucs have gone from having one of the league's youngest teams three years ago to the oldest this season, with an average age of nearly 28.
Free-agent departures and a shortage of high draft picks — it cost two No. 1s
and two No. 2s to pry Gruden away from the Oakland Raiders in 2002 have been a factor. But the truth is, Gruden and Allen are mainly responsible.
There are plenty of subplots to Tampa Bay's season: the departures of Warren Sapp and John Lynch, Keenan McCardell's holdout, and questions at quarterback. But the main storyline is the extreme makeover that appears to have left the Bucs a shell of the team that dominated the league not too long ago.
"You have to look at whatever angle you see here," defensive end Simeon Rice said. "Right now, you could have a coach that looks like a genius or an imbecile. The story is out there. It's in our power to really take this game, our own personal game, to the next level and do big things."
The Bucs signed 13 free agents who
were at least 30 the past offseason and left training camp with 16 overall, tied with New England for second-most in the league behind Carolina's 18.
One of the newcomers, 38-year-old receiver Tim Brown was released by the Raiders after being told he was no better than the fifth- or sixth-best receiver in Oakland. He's starting in Tampa Bay, even returning punts, because of injuries and McCardell's holdout.
The coach benched quarterback Brad Johnson during Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Seahawks, hoping second-year pro Chris Simms would give the team a spark.
spark.
"They're playing hard, but we're just not getting it done right now offensively." Gruden said. "It's a play here, it's a play there, and we're not that far away. But I'm confident that we can stay together."
Mizzou needs tricks, not talent, to win
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — A few trick plays helped the Missouri offense get rolling again.
One game after a disappointing 24-14 loss at Troy, the Tigers showed off the swinging gate, a flea flicker and a tailback pass in a 48-0 victory against Ball State on Saturday.
In fact, the trick plays may have been Pinkel's response to criticism that he was guiding the offense in the wrong direction. The coaching staff has encouraged quarterback Brad Smith to develop as a passer this season, even though he had run for 2,435 yards and 25 touchdowns the past two seasons. He had just 99 rushing yards in Missouri's first two games, compared to 183 in the first two games of 2003.
"I just thought that you guys might want to see it," coach Gary Pinkel joked to the media after the game. "That's why we put them in."
Against the Cardinals, Smith had more time and space to operate, allowing him to run for 83 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. He continued to rely heavily on his arm, too, going 18-of-32 for 213 yards and two touchdowns. He has thrown for at least 200 yards in all three games for the Tigers (2-1) after reaching that mark just twice in 2003.
Tailback Damien Nash, who also had three touchdowns against Ball State, said offensive showing against Ball State should be the norm.
State should expect this week in and week out," Nash said. "We have to expect big plays every day."
Missouri used a dominating second quarter — including two touchdowns in a 17-second span — to take a 28-0 halftime lead. Smith noticed an aggressive instinct that wasn't present at Troy, when Missouri opened a 14-0 lead and then let the victory slip away when the Trojans scored 24 unanswered points
"We wanted to just come out and finish them off," Smith said. "We've been in that position before as an offense, like 'What are we going to do now?' Anytime we can do that for our team, it's a positive."

Located on the lower level of the Student Fitness Recreation Center is an outdoor addict's paradise.
Many students and faculty are unaware of the Outdoor Pursuits program, open to anyone with a valid KUID.
Day! 55
Outdoor Pursuits offers the opportunity to rent equipment to take on camping trip, canoeing adventure or any other outdoor pursuit you might be planning. The Outdoor Pursuits program manager Katy Sharp said she wanted more students to realize how convenient the program is.
"We see mostly fraternity groups come and rent the equipment for a weekend," Sharp said. "But most students do not even know it exists."
Sharp said Outdoor Pursuits gave students the advantage of getting out of the normal indoor workout routine.
"We offer the means to go outside, be active, and have fun," she said.
bags and a propane stove. The cost for the Happy Camper is about $24 for three to eight days of rental, with each additional day costing $8.50.
The pursuits program offers two different packages for a weekend trip. The Happy Camper package includes two- or four-person tents, sleeping
The second program is the Outdoor Adventure. The package includes tents, mountaineer headwear and hardware, backpacks, stove with cookset and a canoe. The cost is $70 for three people for three days, with additional charges for extra days. This package is recommended for backpackers because of the more technical equipment provided.
Individual items that might be needed, such as sleeping pads, lights and canoeing accessories, are also offered. The equipment is offered in one three-day or six eight-day blocks, but additional days can be purchased.
"For the Fourth of July our friends decided to spend the weekend at Clinton Lake," Adriance said. "We used the Outdoor Pursuits program to rent all of our things. It was great and we had a blast."
Erin Adriance, Stillwell senior, discovered how convenient the program was last summer.
The program also offers information to renters on local campgrounds. The equipment can be taken anywhere. Popular destinations include Clinton Lake and Lake of the Ozarks.
Canoe racks and trailer hitches must be supplied by individuals. The program also asks that enough time be allowed when coming to rent to inspect and learn how everything works.
The going gets tougher for Chiefs
— Edited by Rupal Gor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Their All-Pro running back is wearing an ankle brace and their best defensive back just got arrested.
That's the latest from the victoryless Kansas City Chiefs, a team that opened the year 0-2 by missing tackles, dropping passes and looking nothing like the savvy collection of skilled veterans — fresh off a 13-3 campaign — that many fans expected would end their season in the Super Bowl.
"There'll be some teams 2-0 that will fold and there will be some teams that are 0-2 come on strong," coach Dick Vermeil said yesterday. "These guys have been through adversity before."
The latest dose of bad news came early Monday morning when cornerback Eric Warfield, a few hours after intercepting two passes and returning one for a touchdown, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.
Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison said he intended to file charges against
Warfield. It would be the third time Warfield had faced such a charge in the past three years. Under Kansas law, a third drunken driving charge is a felony that comes with a sentence of up to a year in jail.
Morrison, who said the case could easily end up being delayed until after the season, said professional athletes could expect no special leniency.
Warfield could also be subject to a league suspension as a repeat violator.
Nevertheless, Vermeil said he
Yesterday also brought no good news on the status of running back Priest Holmes, who has led the NFL the past three years in rushing, total yards and touchdowns. Holmes came out of Sunday's game with about eight minutes left, and doctors said Monday he had an ankle sprain.
Vermill said overall team morale was good despite the recent developments.
planned to start Warfield on Sunday at home against the Houston Texans.
SBC trailer to offer fans prizes and online games
FOOTBALL
Kansas has taken its place among the football elite, at least in one category.
The SBC College Football Connection will be making a stop at the University of Kansas this weekend.
The tour takes place in a specially-designed interactive trailer, currently parked between Robinson Gymnasium and the Student Fitness Recreation Center.
Starting today, fans can visit the trailer and interact with the various exhibits. The main event will be a chance for attendees to play an online video game between Texas Tech and Kansas. Anyone who beats Texas Tech will win prizes and a chance for free tickets to Saturday's game.
The tour will be open today and tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, the trailer will move to Memorial Stadium where SBC will host pregame festivities.
The tour will also visit the Cotton Bowl, the Alamo Bowl and the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, Mo.
On game day, fans will have the chance to register for various prizes including a Microsoft X-Box gaming console and a high-definition TV.
Also, fans will have a chance to meet former Kansas football standout Gilbert Brown. Brown was a four-year letterman and played on the 1992 Aloha Bowl team, which beat Brigham Young 23-20.
Brown was drafted by the Vikings in the third round and later signed with the Packers. He remained with the Packers for the rest of his 10-year career.
The trailer will be open from 9 a.m., until kickoff on Saturday.

Broncos defensive end to have back surgery
DENVER — Trevor Pryce came into training camp in the best shape of his life. It didn't do him much good.
The Denver Broncos defensive end will have surgery today to remove a disc fragment from his lower back.
He's expected to be out four to six weeks, the first significant time he'll miss because of injury in his eight-year career.
"If it is surgery, I've fully come to grips with it," Pryce said Monday before he traveled to California to have his back examined. "I'm hoping it will only keep me out 2 1/2 or three weeks."
Pryce, a four-time Pro Bowler, was declared inactive the first eight games of his rookie season, but from then through the end of last season, he played in all but one of Denver's 104 regular-season games.
When he came into this season off an 8 1/2-sack year in 2003, Pryce proclaimed himself in the best shape of his life.
But he hurt his back last month, and hasn't felt right since.
Last Sunday, he went out a few hours before gametime and decided he didn't have enough strength to play.

Idaho football coach Nick Holt, left, reacts while talking about the death of Eric McMillan, during a news conference Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2004, in Moscow, Idaho. McMillan, a starting cornerback for Idaho, was shot once in the chest in his apartment in the university town of Moscow on Sunday afternoon, police Capt. Cam Hershaw said. He died at a local hospital Monday. Authorities said Tuesday they weren't even sure he was the intended target. At right is Idaho athletic director Rob Spear.
BASEBALL: Post season hype important
CONTINUED FROM 1B
seasons overlap and that is simply how the world works. I because I am part of a minority of people who wants to see the post-season baseball hape reach even half of the excitement level that football does.
Besides, how can a sport be viewed as second to another when it gives the little guys an opportunity?
The wonderful wild card innovation now allows teams such as the Chicago Cubs to have a shot at the play-offs despite the fact that they are 14.5 games behind division leader St. Louis Cardinals. Not to mention those poor hopefuls from the Boston Red Sox who make the fall oh-so important and never unevent-

Speaking of wild card teams, the race couldn't be tighter in the National League with the Houston Astros. Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants all within a game of each other.
Owens and Randy Moss competition wasn't that close.
Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants all within a game of each other.
Bottom line, this is the University's campus and it's Kansas football season. Whatever is going on in national sporting news, whether it be the NFL or MLB, will always be secondary to what's going on here.
Come on, even the Terrell
But if you're going to share your attention span, give the edge to baseball. The Fall Classic is exactly that — classic. I know we won't totally break away from football, but for the time being remember that the Yankees' dwindling lead in the AL East is much more newsworthy than the Chiefs' dwindling defense.
Giambi busts his longest slump against Blue Jays
Bauer is a Winfield junior in journalism.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jason Giambi homered to end the longest slump of his career and Esteban Loaiza finally earned his 100th career victory and first for the Yankees, leading New York over the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 last night.
Gary Sheffield hit his 36th home run two days after getting a pair of cortisone shots. Alex Rodriguez almost homered for the Yankees, too, but was robbed on a spectacular catch by center fielder Vern Wells.
Mariano Rivera matched his career high with his 50th save as the Yankees held their 4 1/2-game lead over Boston in the AL East and stopped Toronto's three-game winning string.
Giambi had been 0-for-32, with 11 of those at-bats coming since he returned from the disabled list.
Loaiza (10-7) outpitched Roy Halladay (7-8) after finishing runner-up to the Toronto ace last year in the AL Cy Young voting. Halladay, in his first outing since July 16, left after four innings trailing 3-2.
Red Sox 3. Orioles 2
BOSTON (AP) Mark Bellhorn singled in two runs in the ninth as Boston rallied past Baltimore and snapped a threegame losing streak after nearly blowing the game in the top of the inning.
Curt Schilling cruised through eight innings, striking out a season-high 14 as he went for his major league-leading 21st victory.
Given a 1-0 lead on Kevin Millar's sacrifice fly in the eighth, Keith Foulke (4-3) gave up Javy Lopez's two-run homer on a 3-2 pitch with two outs in the ninth.
Green Monster for his career high fourth hit. Pinch-hitter David McCarty popped up to first, then Johnny Damon struck out looking.
BJ, Ryan (3-6) walked Kevin Youkilis in the bottom half, and Bill Mueller doubled off the
Jorge Julio came on to face Bellhorn, who laced a pitch to deep center field.
Devil Ravs 7. Rovals 4
ST. PETERSBURG, Fl. (AP)
— Jorge Cantu hit a go-ahead,
two-run double during a five-run
eighth inning to help Tampa Bay
beat Kansas City.
Cantu made it 5-4 on his drive to left-center field off Shawn Camp (2-1), and Carl Crawford and Jose Cruz Jr. followed with RBI singles off Jaime Cerda.
Rocco Baldelli pulled the Devil Rays to 4-3 on a solo homer earlier in the eighth off Dennys Reyes.
Cruz had four hits, including a two-run homer for the Devil Rays.
Mark Hendrickson (9-15) allowed one unearned run in two innings, and Danys Baez pitched the ninth for his 28th save.
DETROIT (AP) — Casey Blake's bloop single broke a ninth-inning tie and lifted Cleveland over Detroit.
Indians 8, Tigers 7
Cleveland Over the Hill
The Indians trailed 7-2 after five innings before rallying behind five RBIs from Ben Broussard.
Coco Crisp led on the ninth with a walk, and took second on a sacrifice bunt. After Victor Martinez flew out, Esteban Yan (3-5) intentionally walked Matt Lawton, but Blake looped a single into shallow right field to give Cleveland the lead.
Bobby Howry (3-1) got the win in relief, and Bob Wickman pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
Broussard hit a three-run homer in the sixth and a two-run
double in the eighth.
White Sox 8. Twins 6
CHICAGO (AP) Paul Konerko hit his 40th home run of the season, and Juan Uribe had his first career grand slam, a pinch-hit shot in the seventh inning that sent Chicago over Minnesota.
Ross Gload and Aaron Rowand also drove in runs for the White Sox, who snapped a seven-game losing streak against the AL Central-champion Twins.
Minnesota rested Torii Hunter and Shannon Stewart a night after clinching its third straight division title.
Konerko became only the third White Sox player to hit at least 40 homers in a season with his first-inning shot, joining Albert Belle and Frank Thomas.
J. C. Romero (7-2) took the loss.
Neal Cotts (3-3) struck out two in one inning for the win. Shingo Takatsu pitched the ninth for his 18th save.
Rangers 9. Athletics 4
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Michael Young hit a grand slam, Mark Teixeira had a two-run double and Texas beat All-Star starter Mark Mulder for the second time in a week.
While the September struggles of Mulder continued, Ryan Dreese (14-8) won his third straight start even though he allowed four runs in 5 2-3 innings.
Mulder (17-6) didn't make it out of the fifth, allowing nine runs — five earned — on eight hits with two walks and two hit batters. The left-hander is 0-2 with an 8.22 ERA in four starts this month.
Young's second career grand slam, his 21 first homer this season, came in the fourth after first baseman Scott Hattelberg's two-out error and put the Rangers up 7-2.

No student vote in new official's hiring
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2004
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced the appointment of Paul Carttar as executive vice chancellor for external affairs effective Oct. 4. The decision came without the vote of the students, to the chagrin of some student senators.
Cartar, former chief operating officer of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., is a Kansas native and a KU alumnus. He is filling the position left by Janet Murguia, who left in March for the top post at the National Council of La Raza in Washington, D.C., according to yesterday's University Relations press release.
Members of Student Senate said they thought Cartar was a good choice, but they were upset that students did not have a vote in the final decision.
"Student Senate would have liked to have had a student representative on the search committee," said Katie Wolff, legislative director for student senate.
Although students were not allowed to vote for the candidates, members of student senate did meet with the candidates and gave feedback to Hemenway, said Lynn Bretz, Director of University Relations.
Bretz said students were not given a vote because job hirings at the University did not include student votes, and this hiring was no different.
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president, said although Carttar had a University background, there were concerns about Carttar's lack of political contacts in Kansas. He said he still thought Carttar would do well, but student opinion could have been better heard.
Carttar said his main priority was to prepare for assuming his new position Oct.4. Carttar said the position fulfilled his desire to be back at the University.
"This is a culmination of everything I've thought about," he said.
Carttar will lead the University's public relations, communications, marketing and government relations efforts and coordinate the development and communication of planning priorities and initiatives across all the University campuses, according to yesterday's University Relations press release.

Underground opens
After soft opening, new eatery prepares for full day today

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Underground at Wescoe Hall is finally open after several delays. The eatery's grand opening is today, but nearly 1,000 students with watery
mouths and empty stomachs took advantage of the trial opening yesterday.
The Underground was first scheduled to open the first day of school, then was moved to after Labor Day and then again to Sept. 9 or 10.
Marie Clements, Stilwell sophomore, won the renaming contest during the summer. "The Underground" was chosen to replace the old name Wescoe Terrace.
Today is The Underground's first full day of business. Pulse, a coffee shop, and Chick-fil-A open at 7 a.m., and the other restaurants open for lunch
around 11 a.m.
At The Underground's preliminary opening yesterday, Provost David Shulenburger tasted a Chick-fil-A sandwich at the mini ribbon-cutting ceremony before the crowds got there.
"This is going to be one of the biggest honors of my life." Shulenburger said.
The provost took a bite out of a chicken sandwich wrapped in a signature red and white bag and chewed as he shook hands with the Chick-fil-A cow.

Jayhawks football fans get up on their feet during the second quarter of the Kansas and Northwestern game last Saturday in Evanston, Ill.
Fans flock to Hawks football
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
More fans are coming to Memorial Stadium to see the Jayhawks play than at any other time since Mark Mangino became coach.
So far this season, Kansas has had home crowds of 40,646 and 41,251 against Tulsa and Toledo, respectively.
It's the largest opening attendance since the Jayhawks played Michigan State on Sept. 10, 1994.
In Mangino's first season at Kansas, the team averaged 36,083 fans per game.
The attendance against Toledo was also the largest for a second game since Kansas took on UCLA on Sept. 8, 2001.
Last season started off slowly, but sellouts against Missouri and Nebraska propelled the team to an average of 38,750 per game.
In both 2000 and 2002, the last two times that Kansas played only two nonconference opponents at home, the average attendance for those games was less than this year's. Average attendance for those games in 2000 was 29,500, while 2002's average was 36.083 per game.
This year's average so far is 40,948 per game.
"I must have seen 15 Kansas fans on the train up here," one Kansas fan said at the Alumni Association's pregame pep rally.
Another sign of an increased following of Jayhawk football is the number of fans who attended the team's game against Northwestern in Evanston, Ill.
Estimates of Kansas fan's attendance for the Northwestern game were between 10 and 20 percent of the total crowd of 24,817, but there are no official numbers.
This weekend, Kansas will face Texas Tech in both teams' Big 12 Conference opener.
The Athletics Department reports that 32,000 tickets have already been sold.
"We're expecting a really good walk up crowd," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
In addition to the excitement that has surrounded the Jayhawks since its 2.1 start, the environment and the timing have come together to provide a good weekend for football.
"The weather's going to be gorgeous, and it's the Big 12 opener," Marchiony said.

Is it legal to fish at Potter Lake?
Yes, but you still have to follow state fishing laws, which basically means having a valid fishing permit. The pond has bluegill, catfish, bass and goldfish. However, we would not recommend eating the fish from Potter Lake. At its largest, it was 18 feet deep and covered 2 acres, and originally used for swimming and regatta boat races.
Local soldiers face charges

TOPEKA — Fort Riley officials were searching for answers yesterday after two soldiers deployed in Iraq were charged with murdering three Iraqis. They were the second pair of soldiers from a unit based at the post to face murder charges in as many weeks.

Sorority hosts candle passing for suicide prevention tonight
CAMPUS
Last year, the Alpha Delta Pi sorority decided it wanted to get involved with the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, a program for teenage suicide awareness and prevention.
"We want to show that there are people out there who care," said Christy Massucci, Wichita junior and president of Alpha Delta Pi.
The sorority will hand out yellow ribbons pinned to informational cards all week and have a candle passing at 7:30 p.m. today in front of the Campanile. The cards read "It's OK to Ask 4 Help!" and list the Hopeline Network's phone number, 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433).
The Yellow Ribbon Campaign began in 1994 after a Westminster, Colo., teenager, Mike Meme, committed suicide. Emme's parents founded the campaign to let depressed people know there is help for them.
Dale and Dar Emme found a note that read "Don't blame yourselves, Mom and Dad. I love you." The note was signed 11:45 p.m., seven minutes before they pulled into their driveway,

Kerry criticizes Bush on Iraq, savs the president misleads
believe world in his understanding of Iraq, misleading the American people and attacking Democrats on phony issues, presidential rival John Kerry said yesterday in an interview with The Associated Press.
"Even today, he blundered again saying there are only a handful of terrorists in Iraq." Kerry said in a brief interview. "George Bush retreated from Fallujah and other communities in Iraq which are now overrun with terrorists and threaten our troops."
Bush, campaigning in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, said, "It's hard to help a country go from tyranny to elections to peace when there are a handful of people who are willing to kill in order to stop the process."
Bush said the insurgents "use the only tool at their disposal, which is beheadings and death, to try to shake our will. They understand the nature of America. ... We weep when we think about the families affected by those who have been brutalized by these terrorists."
Kerry said that in criticizing his statements on Iraq, Bush was "living in a make-believe world," unwilling to tell the truth or to understand the situation in Iraq.

Singer removed from plane, on government's 'no-fly' list
WASHINGTON — Singer Cat Stevens, taken off a London-to-Washington flight because his name showed up on a government "nofly" list, has no ties to suspected terrorists, his brother said Wednesday.
Stevens, who converted to Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, recently made the watch list after U.S. authorities received information from multiple sources indicating he may have associations with potential terrorists, a government official said.
United Airlines Flight 919 was diverted to Bangor, Maine, on Tuesday afternoon after U.S. officials who checked the passenger list learned that the singer was aboard. Federal agents met the plane and interviewed Islam.
Islam's brother and business manager, David Gordon, said in a telephone interview that he could guarantee that Islam does not associate with possible terrorists.
"It's not true." Gordon said. "His only work, his only mind-set, is humanitarian causes. He just wants to be an ambassador for peace."

SPECIAL TO THE KANSAI
Many students are sporting the LiveStrong bracelets in support of cancer research. One student, Adam Strauss, has profited by selling them for a mark-up price on eBay.
The two yellow bracelets on Adam Strauss' wrist seem just like those on hundreds of wrists across campus. But what most see as a way to support cancer research, Strauss sees as dollar signs.
That's because those little bands of synthetic rubber made Straus's summer more enjoyable — about 1,000 times more. Going into temporary business together, the Minneapolis, Minn., junior and his brother sold about 300 of the hard-to-find bracelets on eBay and ended up with nearly $1,000 in their pockets.
Strauss said the profit was "pretty solid," and while that may be an understatement, it's one many other eBay auctioneers would agree with.
eers would agree. You can find more than 1,000 auctions for the bracelets on eBav's Web site.
Their popularity has surprised even the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which the bracelets benefit.
benefit.
With backorders on the foundation's Web site, the $1 attempts at charity are being auctioned off on eBay to the highest bidder, sometimes for as much as $40 a bracelet.
While the foundation admitted reselling the bracelets at higher prices is legal, foundation representative Michelle Milford said that didn't make it right.
The bracelets, stamped with Armstrong's mantra "LiveStrong," were started by the six-time Tour de France champion's foundation and Nike with the goal to raise $6 million for cancer research.
Strauss said he'd been criticized for making a profit on what was supposed to be a nonprofit cause.
But his conscience, he said, is clean.
"I gave enough money to cancer research," he said, referring
"I 't's taking a very good cause and
turning it around to make a quick profit for yourself. I couldn't ever do that."

the eBay issue lightly.
The foundation hasn't taken
the Only issue is money
They want people to know that payling $5, $10 or even $40 for a bracelet got not mean the foundation got the extra money.
They asked eBay to take down all auctions selling the bracelets, but because it's not illegal to resell personal property it couldn't be done.
However, eBay did take down all auctions that claimed the extra money would go to the foundation.
Strauss blamed the eBay problem on poor marketing.
He said if more bracelets had been supplied, people wouldn't have been willing to pay the extra money.
After all, he said he was driven to eBay because he couldn't find a bracelet anywhere else.
Milford said it wasn't that simple. When the bracelets came out, most questioned whether the $6 million goal could even be met.
However, $11 million later demand for the bracelets still has orders backed up about three weeks.
"There was no real reason to." Dobbins said. "It's a donation, so we don't make any money on it.
weeks. Doug Dobbins, manager of the Jock's Nitch, 357 Massachusetts St., said the store's first shipment of 50 bracelets sold out the same day they arrived. Despite the demand, the store didn't order more.
Carolyn Cornett said that's the way it should be.
When the Wichita junior found out what the bracelets were for, she wanted to make
So she placed her order on the Lance Armstrong Web site, www.laf.org, and waited three weeks for her box of 10 bracelets to arrive.
"I think that's highly unethical," she said. "It's taking a very good cause and turning it around to make a quick profit for yourself. I couldn't ever do that."
As for Strauss, he says he's done with LiveStrong bracelets
For her, eBay was not an option.
All that's left of his eBay endeavors is the yellow on his wrist and the green in his wallet.

HI STUDENTS!
It looks like KU's going to lose its court battle to keep Athletic Director Lew Perkins' salary a secret. But we won't know for sure until October. If you can guess closest to what we pay Big Lew on top of his $420,000 salary, $100,000 media income and perks, then I'll draw you in a cartoon when we find out!
Rules: KU students only. Bob Hemenway and Lew Perkins not allowed to enter. You must be willing to appear in a future cartoon. Email name, contact info and your guess to: GuessLewsSalary@hotmail.com

Tiger-sized scandal may ensue
SHEIK UR BUTI
There are a number of differences between University of Kansas and University of Missouri sports, such as, say, a winning basketball program. But news emerging from the KU athletics department reveal that we may be on a slippery slope that will bring us down to the level of one of our biggest rivals.
to the level of one in Douglas County District Judge Jack Murphy ruled Monday that the University should release all of Athletic Director Lew Perkins' compensation records.
What the public already knows is this: Perkins has an annual base salary of $420,000. He has a disclosed agreement worth $100,000 in multimedia payments. He owns two contract-guaranteed vehicles and holds membership at two country clubs.
We know that Perkins makes more than Chancellor Robert Hemenway, which may be enough for most Kansas taxpayers, but we still don't know what the "contingent supplemental compensation" of Perkins' contract entails.
AHSAN LATIF
opinion@kansan.com
In court arguments held before Labor Day, the University argued that it sought to protect the rights of agencies
State law mandates that the University disclose the records of all its employees, but Perkins also counts on a paycheck from the University of Kansas Athletic Corp., a nonprofit group.
to protect the privacy of public employees through a loophole in the law. As the University's lawyers, Wyatt Wright and Sara Trower, pointed out, there is an exemption in the Kansas Open Records Act that allows agencies to refuse the disclosure of performance ratings, personnel records or other "individually identifiable records" that concern its employees.
But considering the compensation plan as private personnel records is debatable.
Established law says all state agencies must release individual salary and compensation records, said Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism.
Frederickson, who teaches a First Amendment class, added that the University must still release public information with private information deleted if the two were mixed in a document.
"I have to admit that the University's
position on this issue is embarrassing to many of us on the faculty, primarily because it strongly suggests that University leaders and the athletic department are hiding something that would be embarrassing to them," he said.
What could be so damaging that the University would go to such lengths to hide it from the media — including being taken to court by The World Company, which publishes the Lawrence JournalWorld and operates 6News?
Look at it this way: Perkins has been an enormously successful athletic director. The Jayhawk continues to be a revered symbol, and the department has avoided the kind of publicity that its biggest rival, the University of Missouri, has consistently attracted.
Is there enough at stake to risk a Tiger-sized disaster by withholding documents the public clearly has a right to view?
If the University hoped to avoid public discomfort by circumventing accepted legal practices, it's most likely in for a serious wake-up call.
When I enrolled at the University, I took pride in attending a college that was above the cloak-and-dagger politics of Missouri.
I'm just hoping this court case isn't a sign of things to come.

Spelling made 'eezyer' over time
Why does McDonald's have a drive-thru and not a drive-through? Why isn't Miller Lite spelled Miller Light?
Simplified spellings such as "thru" and "lite" have an unshakable presence in modern English, especially in the commercial world. Nick at Nite, Yello Sub and Sizzors Hair Salon all differentiate themselves by incorporating non-standard words in their names.
This practice makes a business's name unique and reflects societal acceptance of alternative spellings.
LANGUAGE RULES!
LANGUAGE NUGGETS
After all, couldn't English use a good scrubdumb? Maybe some of those nasty 'gh's (though, night, rough, etc.) and silent 'b's (lamb, debt, etc.) could disappear to make spelling more straightforward. The day in the middle of the week could be Wensday instead of Wednesday. Wouldn't that maek speling the werd eezyer for peepl?
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART
opinion@kaans.com
The idea of simplifying spelling may entertain a casual English user's mind from time to time, but there are active groups that advocate all-out reform. these groups agree that written manifestations of English words are needlessly complicated and unreasonable.
have advocated During the American revolution, dictionary authority Noah Webster believed that Americans should reform written English to reflect a new identity, one separate from Britain. Webster called for a radical revision of English
complicated and unrealistic These aren't new concerns. In the past, noteworthy and influential people have advocated for spelling reform.
spelling, for example, using "masheen" instead of "machine," but over time he became more conservative. The linguistic remnants of his reforms show up in words such as "theater," "color," "music," and "check," which retain separate, American spellings.
o much nuance and appeal. Today's reformers are just as passionate as those of yesteryear, but they lack the social and political clout to make their message publicly meaningful.
separate, American speeches. In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt challenged the traditions of the written language by ordering the official use of 300 new simplified spellings in executive documents. Within four months, Roosevelt retracted this order because of much ridicule and opposition.
Their cause seems to have advantages, but the movement is generally impractical. The lack of unity among reformers is one of many factors that prevent the movement's success.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing simplified spelling is the actual process of standardization. Language is far from static, but such wide-scale,
artificial changes would be nearly impossible to carry out. Language has become so much a part of human identity that people protect and monitor its development. Outside pressures therefore have difficulty instituting change—even when the president gets involved. English does not have one all-powerful authority to demand stasis or transformation. In this text-centered society, linguistic change must happen naturally.
English users have augmented their vocabulary with new spellings, but they retain the capability to alternate between traditional and "lite" forms.
between traditional spellings that have remained in the language have not replaced traditional forms wholesale, but have been alternates. The Department of Theatre and Film's name, for example, retains the older form of today's more Americanized "theater." Illegibly reformers want to erase traditional spellings and rely wholly on new, simplified ways.
Spelling reform seems like a good idea on some levels, but it just wouldn't work.
Mark Twain, though a one-time spelling reform advocate, admitted the idea was inherently flawed, remarking "it seemed to me to merely propose to substitute one inadequacy for another."

Three new officers added to increase safety
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
atoleo@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has been a few officers short — for a couple of years.
The three officers who the safety office hired in April should change that, Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety, said.
After 14 weeks at the Police Academy in Hutchison this summer, as well as six weeks of inside training, officers Kip Patzel, Brian Harlow and Carl Bentley are ready to get out on the streets and start making a difference.
The only step left is field-officer training and they can patrol campus alone.
Bentley has already completed the training and Harlow and
Bailey said the additional help would give the staff the flexibility to investigate more crimes and to pay more attention to other responsibilities on campus, such as traffic patrol.
Patzel have a few more weeks of riding with a senior officer before they can have their freedom.
"It gives us three more sets of eyes and ears," he said. "It lets us

do more things, both innovatively and creatively, and get back to things we want to do."
With the help of the three officers, Bailey said he or a member of his staff could take closer looks at thefts and other petty crimes.
When he was hiring, Bailey looked for well-rounded, personable people who possessed common sense.
He said, Patzel, Harlow and Bently fit the order.

Kansas takes Tech
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANKSAN SWISSPWRITER
The Kansas volleyball team won its first Big 12 Conference match of the season, sweeping Texas Tech last night.
The No. 21 Jayhawks, fresh off a three-spot jump in the USA Today/CSTV Coaches' Poll, solidified the game with one of the best defensive performances in the team's record books.
Kansas posted 71 digs, the second most in school history. It had 72 against Morehead State in 2002.
Texas Tech had 37 digs on the night
"We had a very good scout on Texas Tech, and we knew where they were going to hit," said junior middle blocker Josi Lima, who was second on the team with 14 digs to match her team-high 14 kills.
Because of the Kansas defense, Texas Tech hit just .071 for the match. Kansas hit only .236, below the team's season average of .260, but it was good enough to win 30-24, 30-23, 30-20.
But two Jayhawk errors helped the Red Raiders jump out to a 5-0 lead in the first game, prompting Jayhawks coach Ray Bechard to call an early timeout. They Jayhawks scored their first point when senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels spiked the ball all the way across the court. Then Michaels took the serve and reeled off five straight points, giving her team a 6-5 advantage.
Kansas won game one with powerful attacks that could not be matched by Texas Tech's finesse offense.
The second game was close the whole way, but momentum was on the Jayhawks' side after they led 14-11, sem-
ior libero Jill Dorsey said. Kansas ended a long rally with a point.
"Long rallies against Texas Tech are a good thing," Dorsey said. "It keeps you on your toes."
And they did. Michaels spiked the ball down the right boundary for a 16-11 lead. She added another kill and a block assist in leading her team to the victory.
The Red Raiders would not be close again as the Kansas offense came alive. Lima had six kills while Brown and Michaels each added five during the game. All three players had 10 or more kills in the match.
Sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa made her first four kills and three digs.
"I'm not 100 percent yet," she said. But I really want to play, and I'm going to be out there."
And she will need to be, Bechard said. Her backup, senior outside hitter Lindsey Morris, was injured during Friday's loss at Texas A&M.
Morris is out indefinitely and will not be available for the Jayhawks' next match on Saturday, when they face the no. 22 Texas Longhorns.
"That really hurts." Bechard said. "She's our MVT: most valuable teammate. She can play any place at any time and brings great energy off the bench."
"Texas is a totally different team: strictly power and physicalness," Bechard said.
Lima said Kansas would try to duplicate last night's defensive performance.

Senior kicker Johnny Beck strikes a field goal as sophomore safety, Jonathan Lamb holds.
Beck kicked out
Freshman replaces senior kicker for all field goals
BY JONATHAM KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
It was just one-too-many missed field goals for senior kicker Johnny Beck.
When Beck went 0-2 on field goals last Saturday, Kansas coach Mark Mangino knew it was time to make a change. Enter freshman kicker Scott Webb. Webb, who was a redshirt his true freshman year, has been slowly working to the top of the depth chart in
"H is leg is much stronger than it was in
spring football." Mark Mangino Football coach
Going into the Toledo game, Webb took over the extra point kicking duties, as well as field goals kicked within the 20-yard line. So far, he's 11-11 on points after touchdowns and 1-1 on field goals.
the kicking position. Beck will still be used, but exclusively for kick-offs.
"We eased him into the role of PAT and short field goals, and the position is
his now." Mangino said.
Webb will now get the opportunity to kick all the field goals. Webb will have his first test of his new role this Saturday against Texas Tech. Requests to speak with Webb have been unsuccessful.
Mangino and sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann are impressed with what Webb has done the last few weeks, as well as in practice recently.
One concern about Webb is that his leg is not strong enough to kick truly long-range field goals.
"His leg is much stronger than it was in spring football." Mangino said. "He kicked a few longer ones yesterday in practice."

Soccer player reflects on success
The Hermann Trophy is college soccer's equivalent to the Heisman Trophy, and Kansas' junior forward Caroline Smith is a candidate.
Smith's sophomore season earned her national recognition when she received Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors three times, and was named to the Academic All Big 12 Conference first team. Entering this season, Smith is the Jayhawks' all-time leader in points (68), goals (31), game-winning goals (11) and shots (143).
Thanks to Smith's skills and a team loaded with talent, the women's soccer team is off to its best start in program's history.
A 3-1 defeat of then-No. 7 Clemson on Sept. 11 was the first time that the team defeated a top-10 opponent. Because of that victory and an 8-1 record, the Jayhawks are now ranked No. 8 in the nation.
This week, Caroline Smith talks about soccer and much more:
A: It's an awesome start, and we feel pretty good about it, but it's still early in the season.
Q: How are you and the team feeling after its best start in the program's history?
The best thing about it right now is that it gives us a good chance for the postseason.
Q: Why did you come to KU from Minnesota?
A: I didn't want to really stay in Minnesota because I didn't like the soccer there. I met the coach here and it was my best visit. I committed right away.
Q: Why is it that you dominated in high school and continue to dominate in college?
A: I would think that one of the things that makes me do well is that I always want to be the best one and do as well as I can. I don't like being second-best, whether it's on the field or anywhere. High school was a challenge when I was younger, and this is a definitely a challenge for me now. Basically I love having a challenge and not being the best and having to work for it.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Limited practice still helps team
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
It's 7 a.m. and Allen Fieldhouse is a ghost town. Assistant coach Katie O'Connor nonchally flips a basketball up in the air. Guards Larisha Graves, Erica Hallman and Sharita Smith chat quietly as they stretch informally in the paint under the basket.
At first glance, the low attendance and casual nature of those there seem to indicate that an intramural league practice is about to begin. In a few minutes that will all change.
For the women's basketball team, offseason practices are not the same as the regular season, but these preseason workouts are crucial to the preparation of the team.
In addition to weights and conditioning commitments, players have two basketball skill sessions per week. All together, the work helps prepare the team to take on the intensity of the regular season practices and games
Because of NCAA restraints on practice time, the skill sessions last only one hour. In order to maximize the limited time, it is necessary for the players to stay focused and pay attention to their coaches' comments.
"Basically, we get some conditioning in every day," Hallman, a junior, said.
In addition to time limits, basketball teams are allowed to only host small group workouts of three to four players at a time. To deal with this, the groups are separated by position.
"You listen to what they tell you to correct and try to make that change as soon as possible so you don't have to keep going over it," Graves, a senior, said.
This particular workout consists of all guards so the drills are tailored to meet their position-specific needs.
To warm up, the players go through a myriad of stationary dribbling and ball-handling exercises. In no time, Graves, Hallman and Smith are sprinting down the court running a three-
person weave drill. But this variant has a bit of a twist.
"Sharita," O'Connor yells as the three reach half court.
In immediate response to the coach's call, Smith, a sophomore, deftly reverses her course and starts moving backwards. She is now the defender and must prevent Hallman and Graves from scoring.
Although the staff is still in its first year, the players have readily accepted the demands and new styles of their new coaches.
"They expect us to be a lot more accountable for everything," Graves said. "Everything we do is competitive."
Even though the regular season has yet to begin, players are already seeing improvements all across the board.
"We are getting better with everything we do, from stretching to defensive drills to running the plays," Graves said.
To keep the competition interesting in the one-on-one, the coaches offer added incentives, or rather avoidance of punishment.
"You gotta win." Graves said.
After being beat solo in a particular drill, the players are forced to drop and offer push-ups to the winning party.
While there is a price to pay for the little failures, successes are celebrated.
There is only one way to avoid such a penalty.
---
High-fives and verbal encouragement salute players for improvement and solid execution.
For now, the fieldhouse is still empty and the Jayhawks are still getting better, one hour at a time.
Because the season is not even underway, there are still many corrections to make.
"We're having fun while we're doing it," Hallman said. "They challenge us and correct us when we're doing something wrong.
With the ups and downs of practice encouragement and teamwork go a long way.

Piniella ousted, Royals win
Ruben Gotay hit an RBI grounder in the 10th inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 7-6 yesterday.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Lou Piniella wasn't around to see his team lose in extra innings.
Piniella was ejected in the second by plate umpire Mike Winters for arguing balls and strikes. After being tossed, the Tampa Bay manager came out of the dugout, argued briefly with Winters, and then proceeded to kick dirt three times onto the plate.
"Today's game, I sat right back here (in his office) and watched it on TV from the second inning on,"Piniella said. "Had an egg roll and a cold beer, and I watched the ballgame."
Piniella has been ejected twice this season and 56 times as a manager. He has been thrown out 70 times overall during his major league career.
The latest ejection stemmed from Tampa Bay's Aubrey Huff being called out looking at strike three in the first.
"I was talking to the umpire about the at-bat Huff had in the first inning when he called him out on a couple pitches," Piniella said. "I was reminded that you can't talk about replays because I had looked at them on the replays. So that's why I got kicked out."
David DeJesus homered and drove in three runs for the Royals, who are 11-10 since Aug. 31.
"We're playing better." Royals manager Tony Pena said. "We're doing the little things we're suppose to do."
Tampa Bay's Matt Diaz hit his first major league homer.
Calvin Pickering opened the 10th with a double off Jorge Sosa (4-6) and pinchrunner Wilton Guerrero went to third on Desi Relaford's sacrifice bunt. After Dee Brown was hit by a pitch, Guerrero scored on Gotay's grounder to short.
Mike MacDougal (1-1) worked a scoreless ninth. Jeremy Affeldt pitched the 10th for his 13th save in 16 opportunities.
Kansas City starter Darrrell May didn't figure in the decision and remains one loss away from tying Paul Splittor's team record of 19 set in 1974. May, who is 9-18, gave up five runs and eight hits over six innings. He is winnless in seven starts, including six losses.
Dejesus homered and Pickering had an RBI double to put the Royals up 2-0 in the first.
Tampa Bay starter Doug Waechter was pulled after walking three straight batters to start the second. He gave up three runs, three hits and three walks in one-plus innings.
Guarding the 'bee
"It was frustrating." Waechter said. "A good outing to forget."
John Halama replaced Waechter and allowed just one run to score in the second, which came on Dejesus' double-play grounder that made it 3-0.
Damian Rolls' two-run double in the second, and a sacrifice fly by Rocco Baldelli one inning later tied it at 3.
Huff gave Tampa Bay a 4-3 lead with an RBI single in the fifth.
Dejesus hit a two-run single and Joe Randa had an RBI grounder that put the Robals ahead 6-4 in the sixth.
Diaz hit a solo shot in the sixth and Jose Cruz Jr. had a seventh-inning RBI single to pull Tampa Bay even at six-all.

Coach's comment made in jest
Chiefs' Dick Vermeil says running back has to 'take the diapers off'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Larry Johnson reacted sharply yesterday to remarks that Kansas City coach Dick Vermeil said were made at least partly in jest.
In his weekly news conference Tuesday, Vermeil said it would be time for the seldom-used Johnson to "take the diapers off" if he plays this week in place of an injured Priest Holmes.
Holmes was nursing a sore ankle on yesterday and remained questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Johnson has expressed unhappiness before over not playing. He dismissed the suggestion that Vermeil was trying to motivate him.
said. "If I need motivation, I'll talk to my father. I don't need another grown man telling me I need to take the diapers off. That's not how I've been raised and I don't need no motivation from anybody. I'm self-motivated because my father taught me to be that way."
"I don't need no motivation," he
Johnson has played sparingly behind Holmes, even dropping to third team behind Derrick Blaylock. His father, Larry Johnson Sr., is defensive line coach at Penn State.
"I don't really listen to that kind of stuff," the younger Johnson said. "If the man can't say something in my face, that's how I feel. It don't mean nothing to me."
Vermeil, whose 0-2 team has already been beset by distractions and injuries, said the remark "just popped into my scrambled head."
"He's got some pressure on him now because if Priest doesn't play, he's going to be carrying a load, and it's a lot of responsibility that so far he has a way to go to prove he can handle it," Vermeil said. "And I'm looking forward to giving
him the opportunity if Priest can't play."
the opportunity if Priest can't play. Although the comment was made in jest, "in a way, there's a little truth to it," Vermeli said.
"I like Larry And I see his talent. And I've spent more time with Larry Johnson than all my roster combined in the last two years, and so has everybody else in this building. And sooner or later he's going to recognize that," Vermeil said.
He had only 20 carries last year for 85 yards, including one 15-yard touchdown run.
"Yes, it's a little frustrating when they bring you here and they can't tell you whether you're going to play or you're not going to play." Johnson said. "That's just how I feel. By no means I'm going to stop going hard here and going hard every day in practice."
Vermeil said he understands Johnson's frustration.
"He has all the talent in the world," Vermeil said of Johnson, "and sooner or later, he'll have his opportunity to take advantage of it."

NHLplayers going to Europe, return when lockout is over
TORONTO - With an NHL lockout in place, more than 150 players have signed to play in European leagues, including Markus Naslund with Modo (Sweden), Jaromir Jagr with Kladmo (Czech Republic) and Ilya Kovalchuk with AK Bars Kazan (Russia).
Most of the players have lockout clauses that allow them to return to the NHL if and when the labor impasse ends. For now, European teams are taking advantage.
Besides Naslund of the Vancouver Canucks, Modo also signed his teammates Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Niklas Sundstrom (Montreal), Pierre Hedin (Toronto) and Peter Forsberg (Colorado).
Forsberg has indicated he will play the entire season with Modo.

Bonds gets two more years to break home run record
SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds will have two more seasons to break Hank Aaron's career home run record with the San Francisco Giants, who decided to drop their right to void the final year of his contract.
Under the $90 million, five-year deal agreed to in January 2002, San Francisco could have voided the 2006 season if Bonds failed to reach 500 plate appearances next year or 1,500 combined from 2003 to 2005, including at least 400 next season.
But with Bonds as dominant as ever, the Giants decided to keep the 40-year-old outfielder for two more seasons.
Bonds, who needs 55 homers to pass Aaron's mark of 755, will make $20 million in 2005 and $18 million in 2006, with $5 million of each year's
salary deferred at 3.5 percent and paid from 2007 to 2011.

Olympic relay runner gets warning formarijuana use
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — John Capel received a public warning following a positive test for marijuana that led to him being replaced on the U.S. 400-meter relay team at the Athens Olympics.
Capel tested positive in early August in Munich, Germany, at a team competition between the United States, France and Germany. Since it was his first such violation, he did not receive any suspension. Any other positive test of a so-called "minor" drug would result in a two-year ban from competition.
The public warning for Capel, the 2003 world champion at 200 meters, was announced by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

The Kansas football team will be a focus of the Big 12 this weekend — win or lose.
Eight of the Big 12 teams have byes this week.
The layhawks open their Big 12 Conference schedule against a Texas Tech football team that put up 70 points in 36 minutes last weekend, and the Big 12 match-up is the only conference game this Saturday.
Texas will host Rice and North Texas will travel to Waco, Texas, to face Baylor. That puts the Jayhawk's game against Texas Tech on the watch list and gives the team the opportunity to prove itself to the Big 12 North.
"We want to show that we can be Big 12 contenders," junior safety Tony Stubbs said. "We want to show that we do want to win."
The Jayhawks will have that opportunity.
The game, which starts at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, will be televised on Fox Sports Net.
The Jayhawks didn't finish out their nonconference schedule the way coach Mark Mangino had planned. Mangino told the media this week that he was not satisfied.
"Of course not." Mangino said. "We didn't win them all."
Three victories against three tough nonconference opponents would have given the Jayhawks a share of the lead in the Big 12 North and some breathing room
going into conference play, where Kansas has no room for error. The Jayhawks have to travel to Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri.
They also have to face powerhouses Texas and Kansas State at home, along with Colorado, who leads the Big 12 North after three games.
That makes this game even more important for the Jayhawks, who need four more victories to meet the NCAA's requirement for bowl eligibility. The players said that last week was a learning experience.
"We are really focused a lot more now, and the Big 12 is starting and it is a lot more serious with all the guys," senior linebacker Gabe Toomey said. "It's time to get after it."
One thing going the Jayhawks way: Perennial frontrunners in the Big 12 North have accumulated losses.
K-State, Missouri and Nebraska all suffered week two losses, making the Big 12 North wide open.
Mangino said it was important for his team to focus on one game at a time and not to think that far ahead. He also said it was too early to evaluate the Big 12 North.
"After we get three or four games in conference play you will be able to tell if it is wide open or if someone is going to be the front-runner." Mangino said.
Stubbs and Toomey both said the challenge starts this weekend and the Jayhawks would be ready.
"It will be a battle." Toomey said. "We will not back down."

Football faces tough defensive test
BY BYAN COLAIANNI
colaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
In the five years that Mike Leach has been the coach of Texas Tech, the Red Raiders have become an offensive powerhouse of college football.
Leach's system is a pass-happy one, where he gives his quarterback free reign to take to the air. It is not unusual for his quarterback to have 60 passes in a game.
In fact, last season the Texas Tech quarterbacks combined to throw 78 passes in a single game and complete 52 of them.
During Leach's tenure as the coach, Tech's total offense has jumped from 324.8 yards per game to 582.8. The most noticeable difference is in the passing game, where last season the offense averaged 475.4 yards per game.
"They throw the ball a lot in different formations and they have some unusual line splits,"
CARLOS GARCIA
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "When you throw the ball as many times as they do, you get pretty good at it."
In all of Leach's four seasons as
LEACH
coach, the quarterbacks have thrown for at least 3,500 yards. Last season the Red Raiders had nearly 6,200 yards passing.
But the most impressive part of this story may be the fact that Leach is often doing this with first-year starters at quarterback.
"They do a good job of developing players in their system," Mangino said. "These other guys have been in the system, have practiced in it and learned it."
Take Sonny Cumbie, for example. Prior to this season he saw action in just five games games and had thrown only 61
passes at the collegiate level. This season the senior is leading the Big 12 in passing yards with over 450 per game.
"Sonny Cumbie has been doing the same thing for four years in practice, and it wasn't a hard transition for him as a starter." Leach said.
Cumbie came to Texas Tech as a walk-on and eventually earned a scholarship. He has been successful thus far this season in replacing BJ. Simmons, who passed for more than 5,800 yards last year.
It's clear that Leach's system works and that his offensive scheme will pose a difficult test for the Kansas defense this weekend at Memorial Stadium.
Kansas cornerback Theo Baines said the team was excited about the challenge.
"This gives the secondary a chance to make a statement and we can show what type of defense we are," Baines said. "I think we can gain some respect from this game."
The whole of Texas Tech's talent does not rest in the quarterback position. Cumbie has many skilled wide receivers to throw to.
Last week, wide receiver Jarrett Hicks caught eight catches for 211 yards. The 6-foot-4 Hicks is certainly a big target, but Baines is not intimidated.
"I like receivers that have size," Baines said. "I don't know how fast he his, but normally receivers that are over 200 pounds, they are not as fast as a lot of receivers."
Joining Hicks at wide receiver is Nehemiah Glover, who had nearly 1,100 yards receiving last season.
"It is going to be tough because they have real long arms and they're tall, so we just have to try and contain them," Kansas safety Tony Stubbs said. "We will really have to play their hands and try to bat the ball down."

KICKED: Webb to kick all field goals
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Mangino said that he was unable to put a true number on what Webb's range was.
"He doesn't have the kind of range Johnny has. That's an issue, but we'll live with that." Mangino said. "He's not a weakling, but he's a guy that if you get past the 40-yard line, his accuracy and just the length of his kicks are somewhat of an issue."
Mangino and special teams coach Clint Bowen indicated that Webb's range was probably in the vicinity of 45 yards.
Webb attended high school at Union High School in Tulsa,
Okla. There, he was listed as the No. 19 kicker in the country by Rivals.com.
In high school, he went 74-76 on extra points, and 11 field goals and played in two 6A State Championships.
"Scott was one of five or six of the top kickers in the country." Mangino said.
Since being named to the starting kicker role, Webb has had an extra burden in practice. Mangino said the team spent more than average time on the kicking game and special teams. In fact, it is the first thing the team does after stretching. The kicking game is also worked on in situation-specific drills, as
well as in special teams practice.
Barmann said that he thought Webb was looking good.
"In warm-ups, I think he hit every field goal I saw him take, he must have hit 10 in a row," Barmann said.
As far as distance, all Barmann had to say was that it was a lot farther than he could kick.
Football Notes
A "minor tweaking." That's how coach Mark Mangino described what he would be doing to his offensive line. He also said guard Tony Coker had not improved much from last week, and as of yesterday would
probably not start on Saturday.
kansan.com
The game time for Kansas-Nebraska has been set for 6:10 p.m. and will not be televised in the Lawrence area. It will be available on a pay-per-view basis in select areas.
The homecoming game against Kansas State Oct. 9 will probably be an evening game, whether it will be broadcast on television or not. The two most likely timeslots for its broadcast are the 6:00 TBS broadcast or the 9:00 Fox Sports Net broadcast. If it is not televised, it will still likely kickoff late due to the Busch Series' Mr. Goodcents 300 at the Kansas Speedway.

SMITH: Award would be an honor
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Q: What do you think your chances of winning the Hermann Trophy are?
A: Being a junior always doesn't help. You have an advantage as a senior, and it depends how the team does and how the season goes.
Right now it's way too early to tell. If our team does extremely well, my chances go up a lot because people look at teams as much as they do players. The Hermann award doesn't go to many players that don't play on extremely good teams.
Q: You say you always want to be the best. Would that award show that you're the best?
A: I guess it's supposed to be the best soccer player, so I guess you could look at it like
that. It would definitely be an honor when you look at all the good soccer players that are out there right now.
Q: Do you work out a lot?
A: During the season I do not, otherwise I would be in big trouble.
We are pretty exhausted during the season. We all work out pretty hard in the spring and summer to get ready.
Q: How much do you squat and bench?
Q: Do you ever feel like a celebrity on campus because you're on the soccer team?
A: My squat is probably around 275, and bench I haven't done for a long time.
A: Recently it's been kind of cool because people have been like, "Oh yeah, you're on the soccer team, you guys just beat
Clemson." We've had that some in the past, but I think more so now people know who the soccer players are and they know the soccer team is doing really well, so that's been kind of cool for us.
Usually we're a basketball or a football school, and now we're kind of doing a lot better in soccer.
Q: Would you consider yourself cocky or humble?
A: It depends. When I step on the soccer field against other teams I consider myself cocky because I go out there expecting myself to do a lot — but as far as it goes with my teammates, I don't think I'm like that. I try not to be.
Q: Why are you majoring in human biology and psychology?
A: I thought of a major in biology just because my roommate was majoring in biology, and we were both pre-med.
Then I kind of got into the psychology stuff after I took some classes and I really liked it, and so that's why I have the second major.
Q: Is religion important to you, and does it go with soccer?
A: Religion is important to me. I'm religious. I don't go to church all the time or anything like that, but I would definitely consider myself religious. It goes with soccer because we're pretty religious as a team, and so we do a lot of stuff together with religion. As far as with soccer, it gives me a better perspective on things in that soccer's not everything sometimes.
Q: How do you like coach Mark Francis?
A: Coach is awesome, he knows what he's talking
about, and he definitely tries to make us better every day and tries to keep us together and not let us get too far ahead of ourselves.
He expects a lot out of us, which is good because the more he expects, the better we do.
Q: Does he keep a close eye on how much you party?
A: I think there are reasonable rules about how often we go out and what we're allowed to do.
Coach keeps an eye on it, but he doesn't go out of his way—he trusts us and if things happen we deal with it as a team. He doesn't have to baby-sit us because we're all old enough to handle it because we know what mistakes and bad decisions can do to a team.

Falcons start 2-0, praise Vick's recovery
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — As Michael Vick somersaulted through the air — cleats pointing toward the Georgia Dome roof, helmet just inches off the turf — he actually recalled a similar play from his Virginia Tech days.
"It was my first college game," Vick said. "I was just running reckless and jumped. I didn't know where I was headed. This time, I was conscious of where I was in the air."
No problem.
Just another play in the life of the NFL's most amazing player.
"Man, he's one of a kind," cornerback Jae Webster marveled yesterday. "I'm just glad we're on the same team."
And how's this for amazing? Vick has guided the Atlanta Falcons to their first 2-0 start since 1998, which also happens to be the season of their lone Super Bowl.
Vick already has provided one of the season's signature plays. Last Sunday against St. Louis, he took off from the Rams' 16 in a mad sprint for the corner of the end zone.
Jerametrius Butler dove at Vick's legs near the sideline, sending the quarterback spinning like a Ferris wheel.
The crowd gasped, but Vick popped right back up. Warrick Dunn scored on the next play, giving the Falcons a 14-0 lead on their way to a surprising 34-17 victory.
"I know how to play this game," Vick said, his tone more resolute than cocky.
This is what he said all along during the preseason — a time spent mostly on the bench, sparking worries among the Falcon faithful that Vick wouldn't be ready to run the West Coast-style offense brought in by new coach Jim Mora and coordinator Greg Knapp.
Mora was more concerned with what happened a year ago. Vick broke a leg in the presea.
son, missed the first 11 games of the regular season and returned to find a team on its way to a dismal 5-11 finish.
"We knew it was basically a no-win situation," Mora said. "If you played him too much, people thought you're risking injury. If you didn't play him enough, then people didn't think he's going to be ready for the season. We knew what we were doing."
But it's the running that sets Vick apart.
He carried 12 times for 109 yards, even though the Rams were intent on keeping Vick in the pocket and making him throw.
Webster puts it this way. "He can run like any receiver or running back — better than most — and he throws as well as any quarterback."
It's not much of a stretch to call Vick the most valuable player in the league, if value is based on what a player means to his own team.
Two years ago, Vick made his debut as an NFL starter and was nothing short of spectacular.
He guided the Falcons to the playoffs, led them to an improbable postseason win at Lambeau Field and was voted to the Pro Bowl.
Last season, the Falcons went 2-10 with Doug Johnson and Kurt Kittner at quarterback, their hopes dashed before Vick recovered. He reclaimed the starting job for the final four games, and Atlanta won three of them.
Often overlooked amid all the hype: Vick is only 24, his best years still ahead of him.
"It's day to day." Mora said. "Every day, he gets better and more comfortable. It's natural that the more repetitions you get doing something, the more comfortable you're going to feel doing it. You see that every day in Mike."

Postseason tickets nearly gone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST, LOUIS — Reggie Tillitt braved a chilly night outside Busch Stadium, warmed only by the glow of an X-Box video game system plugged into a nearby outlet. But Yesterday morning he clutched the object of his quest 40 Cardinals postseason tickets.
They weren't quite where he wanted, but for Tillitt, the upper deck seats were worth maxing out his credit card and standing in line for 18 hours.
"I didn't get here early enough," said the 24-year-old from Murphysboro, Ill., who had arrived at Busch Stadium at 4 p.m. the day before.
About 90,000 division series and championship series tickets went on sale at 8 a.m. Yesterday, sold by phone, through the Cardinals' Web site and in person at ticket windows. Between 12,000 and 13,000 tickets were available for each of seven potential home games. World Series tickets will be sold later.
Cardinals
By late afternoon, tickets for some games were already sold
out; a handful of tickets for other games remained, but ticket sales director Joe Strohm expected the rest to be sold out within hours. He said tickets have sold more briskly than in past championship years — the Cardinals have made the playoffs three of the past four seasons.
Fans were allowed to line up beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, but many arrived long before that, some as early as Sunday.
They braved temperatures that varied from the low 50s overnight to the mid 80s during the day, sleeping on hard cement sidewalks, folding chairs, or another person's shoulder. Some made makeshift campsites, complete with tents.
For Jenna Kirkman, 25, a community college student, being 370th in line didn't dim her expectations of getting good seats.
"It's kind of like when you're at a game, in the bottom of the ninth, and down by eight runs —
I'm confident," said Kirkman, clutching an empty can of sugar-free Red Bull energy drink that served as breakfast.
She and her friend Juliann Oberkramer, 19, had been in line since 1 a.m. Yesterday — an overnight stay eased by the presence of a lightweight foam rubber couch with a pull-out mattress.
Cardinals fans are considered among the most loyal and knowledgeable in all of baseball. The team typically draws more than 3 million fans, ranking near the top of the sport's attendance figures. During home games, streams of fans flood into the stadium dressed head-to-toe in the team colors of red and white, holding scorebooks or seat cushions emblazoned with the Cardinals logo.
"We're going to modify the couch — add some wheels, some pockets on the back," Kirkman added.
"We decided we're going to make this a yearly thing," Oberkramer said.
Standing behind the counter of the Cardinals Clubhouse Shop in Union Station, Jake
Dimmitt said 2004 sales have been among his strongest ever. The shop is planning to add seven or eight additional workers to help out during the playoffs. On an average home game day, the shop might sell up to $30,000 dollars worth of Cardinals merchandise.
"There's not a top seller — basically it's anything that says Cardinals or has 'St. Louis' on it. It's been like this all summer," Dimmitt said.
And Cardinals fans don't just buy a shirt or a single hat — Dimmitt said it's not uncommon for people to buy whole wardrobes, right down to a pair of Cardinals shoes.
At the stadium, Kirkham said the need to wait in line for tickets is "just the way it is in St. Louis."
Dimmitt said the team's record — a baseball-best 98-52 heading into play yesterday — and a team of standout players helps contribute to the enthusiasm.
"It's like being born into a religion," Kirkham said. "You don't know any better. You don't question it."
American cyclist suspect of doping
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Another sweet sports story turned sour with the news that Olympic cycling champion Tyler Hamilton tested positive for blood doping.
Because it almost doesn't matter what happens from here on out.
Cycling insiders will tell you the 33-year-old American was the nicest guy in racing, one of the most deserving, and the last one they thought would get busted. Cynics, meanwhile, simply wink at the notion that anybody that good could be clean.
In the past, Hamilton stood up for the rest of his sport. Those words used to carry a lot of weight. This time he was speaking for himself. The sad part is that nobody gets the benefit of the doubt anymore.
"I am 100 percent innocent," he said Tuesday while awaiting the results of backup tests. "I worked hard for that gold medal, and it isn't going anywhere."
The results of new and improved doping tests in the Athens Olympics last month and at the Spanish Vuelta less than two weeks ago say something else. Both evidence of blood
from another person, a signal that Hamilton received a transfusion, an old-school cycling ruse to boost performance by increasing the amount of oxygen-transporting red blood cells in his system.
"No. 1, that's risking my life," he said, citing the fear of contracting AIDS. "No. 2, that's risking my wife's life. And for someone to accuse me of doing that... I'm very angry about that."
And he's not the only one.
And he's not the only one. Summing up the mood in the riding community in the States, editor Steve Madden of Bicycling magazine said, "It's a bad day for American cycling if
The reason is that stories abound about Hamilton's courage, his long-suffering display of loyalty and his sense of fairness as a competitor. The thinking goes that if guys like Hamilton are dirty, then maybe the cynics have it right; maybe everybody else is, too.
it's true. It's a bad day, in fact,
even if it isn't "true."
In the 2003 Tour de France, just two years after giving up his job as Lance Armstrong's chief lieutenant to lead his own team, Hamilton broke his collarbone in the first stage and rode through the pain to a fourth-place finish.

Record aside, team ready for Big 12
'Hawks welcome home field advantage after steady slew of road games
BY KELLE ROBINNET
krobinet@kansan.com
KANSAAN SPORTSWINTER
The real season begins tomorrow for the No. 8 Kansas women's soccer team as it hosts Nebraska in the Big 12 opener for both schools.
KU finished its nonconference schedule with an 8-1 record, but the team knows this won't impress anyone once conference play begins.
"There is a little more at stake on the conference games," said coach Mark Francis. "They just mean that much more."
Getting out of the gate with a victory will be important for the Jayhawks, because in a conference as strong as the Big 12, home losses are difficult to get past.

players couldn't be happier starting the conference season with home games.
"It will be good to have home field advantage this weekend," said senior midfielder Amy Geha. "It feels like we've been on the road this whole season."
The time at home will give the players a chance to catch up in their classes and allow the team more time to prepare for its conference foes.
Getting ready for a conference game is different than preparing
for a nonconference game, because the two teams are familiar with each other and can spend more time practicing on the field than studying scouting reports.
"The style that each team plays doesn't normally change, so we will be familiar with that," Francis said. "It's not like some nonconference games where you really have to do your homework."
One of the main areas of focus in practice this week has been on improving the teams finishing ability, Francis said. It's an area Francis wants to see the team perform better at in conference play.
"I think our finishing could be better," he said. "Obviously our forwards have done enough for us to win eight games, but we need to be more consistent."

WNBA Shock need win to advance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Detroit Shock's bid for a second straight WNBA championship is looking anything but easy. Without leading scorer Swin Cash, and the team needed a win on the last day of the regular season to grab the final playoff berth.
Under coach Bill Laimbeer, the Shock engineered a worst-to-first turnaround a year ago, going from the fewest wins to a league-best 25-9 record en route to its first title.
The team went back to struggling this season, only winding up 17-17 by closing with three straight victories.
Detroit hosts the New York Liberty in Game 1 as the postseason starts tomorrow night. Los Angeles is at Sacramento in that night's other game, while the other series begin Saturday:
Connecticut at Washington, and Seattle at Minnesota.
The Shock's Cash is sidelined for all of the playoffs with a torn ligament in her left knee.
Sixth in the league in scoring average at 16.4 points, she averaged 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32 games before hurting her knee at Phoenix on Sept. 11.
"We have a significant injury. However, we have other great players," Laimberve said. "You look at the Eastern Conference, and our interior post play, we think, is the best, with Cheryl Ford, Ruth Riley and Barbara Farris. That's going to be our strength."
Indeed, the Shock still have three double-digit scorers in Riley — Cash's U.S. Olympic teammate and last year's Finals MVP — and All-Stars Ford and Deanna Nolan.

Enrollment
Enrollees hit all-time high
Retention rate resident students have increased
BY Ross Fitch
rftich@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The one-year retention rate for returning students and overall enrollment at the University of Kansas are at an all time high.
www.kansan.com
According to the 20th-day figures released by the Board of Regents, overall University enrollment for all campuses increased 318 students, or 1.1 percent, from Fall 2003 with a total of 29,590 students. The Lawrence campus itself totaled 26,980 students, which was a 166 student increase, or 0.6 percent, from Fall 2003.
This fall saw a record high of 20,379 Kansas resident student enrollees, which was 68.9 percent of the student population. This was a 386 student increase from Fall 2003.
The number of non-resident students actually dropped by 158 students from Fall 2003. Shulenburger credited the drop largely to the impact of the new tuition structure at the KU Edwards Campus, because it is no longer a flatrate campus.

Cell phones not coming to campus housing
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STAMP WRITER
But Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing, said the department was not seriously considering the issue of cell phones at this point.
The University of Kansas is considering cell phones for all residence hall residents, according to a recent USA Today article.
The University appeared in a USA Today article on Wednesday titled University housing going 'new school.' It was about upgrades schools are implementing to attract students. Haya El Nasser, USA Today reporter, wrote the article, and said the point was that the University was only looking at the option.
Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for information services, said cell phones were only one of the projects that Information Services was considering to improve technology and life in the halls.
Vince Avila, associate director of student housing, said almost everyone in the residence halls had a cell phone. He said there was a small percentage of people who did not have cell phones. If a person did not have a cell phone, the rooms still had a voice or land line connection. Avila said.
Avila said hall renovations were the main focus.
Stoner said all residence halls were full for this year. Stoner said the department of student housing was having no problems attracting students to live in the halls.
Stoner said the renovations were being done to meet students' needs. He said students today were not used to sharing their bedrooms, bathrooms or televisions. Stoner said the residence halls had originally been designed for people his age who had come from homes where everything was shared.
Avila said rooms started having more amenities such as kitchen sinks and private bathrooms. Renovations on Ellsworth Hall were completed last year. Hashinger Hall will close in May for renovations that are scheduled to be completed by Fall 2006. Avila said Stouffer Place apartments were being renovated one building at a time. Avila said about five apartments had been renovated out of 25 apartments. The apartments are being enlarged.

Gay unions incite debate

Genevieve Wood faced a tough crowd last night.
Her task was to take the side against the question "Should the government support same sex marriage?" at a Student Union Activities sponsored debate at the Lied Center.
But Wood, vice president for communications at Family Research Council and an occasional television pundit, didn't back down.
In liberal Lawrence, such a position won't win you many supporters.
After she and her opponent for the night, Jonathan Rauch. Atlantic
Monthly correspondent, presented their arguments, Wood faced questions attacking her position from the 175 people who attended the event.
Emily McCave, a children's therapist from Topeka, asked Wood if a gay woman and her lover's children would be better off than unplanned pregnancies in heterosexual marriages, and the audience applauded.
Wood maintained her cool.
"This happens a lot on college campuses," she said.
John Tran/KANSAN
Wood said it was important to keep children in mind when talking about gay marriage and that children were better off with a parent from both sexes.
Emily McCave, Lawrence resident, poses a question at a same-sex marriage debate presented by Student Union Activities. The debate was held last night at the Lied Center.

Cruising past the penalty
How a speeder can avoid a ticket
DUNKIN' DONUTS
Illustration by Austin Gilmore
Illustration by Austin Gilmore
Don't hate me when I say this, but I've never had a speeding ticket. Yes, I've been a licensed driver for six years, and I've never even been pulled over for speeding — knock on wood. I'd like to tell you this is because of my sixth sense that allows me to avoid police. But my sparkling record has little to do with my own skills and everything to do with luck.
But luck isn't something to count on. In fact, none of us have to accept our fate when we're doing 45 on a 30-miles-per hour-street and we see a cop. Believe it or not, it is possible to avoid speeding tickets, even when we deserve them.
Before you're stopped
The best thing to do when you see a cop shooting radar is to wave at the officer, says Richard Wallace, author of An Educated Guide to Speeding Tickets: How to Beat and Avoid Them. This can help you in one of two ways. First, the officer may think he knows you and will instinctively wave back, thus taking his attention from the radar. Second, your wave will likely be interpreted as an acknowledgement that you were speeding and have corrected your speed. Wallace, a retired police officer, says this technique works about half of the time.
Damn, you've been pulled over
At this point, you're probably feeling angry, scared or both. But keep your cool. Make sure you pull over safely. And when the officer approaches you, be cooperative, calm and polite. Nevertheless, don't admit that you were aware of your speed, Wallace says. That will make it much
harder to talk your way out of the ticket. Ty Martin, Abilene senior, estimates that he has talked his way out of seven to 10 speeding tickets. He recommends explaining your every move, such as when you reach for your registration. This will let the officer know you aren't sketchy. "They're as uncomfortable as you are," Martin says. Putting the officer at ease increases the chances that you'll get off.
Make a new friend
If you're going to avoid this ticket, you're going to have to either wow the police officer with your personality or compel the cop with your excuse. In any case, find a way to relate to the officer. Remember, police officers are enforcing the speed limit to slow traffic flow and prevent accidents, says Sergeant Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. They aren't evil-doers set out to ruin your day and finances—police officers are people too. Touch the emotions of your officer and be detailed, Wallace says. Maybe the officer is your parents' age. Use that as an in. Explain how the ticket could affect your ability to pay tuition, rent and not to mention your relationship with your parents. Pick up on anything you can use to connect to them. If you can't think of a way to relate, tell a joke. And say you are sorry.
If that doesn't work
You can also try using one of the valid reasons for speeding: You were being tailgated, or you had to speed around a car to pass it. If you're still getting nowhere, at least fight the urge to argue. That will never help.
You get the ticket anyway
OK, so sometimes there's just nothing you can do. You were speeding though, so it isn't entirely unjust. But that shouldn't keep you from challenging the ticket. The odds of winning are in your favor, Wallace says. If you were caught during cold weather, the radar gun may have been defective, he says. Wallace says even radar gun manufacturers advise against using the guns in lower temperatures. If the police officer doesn't show up at court,
you win automatically. And judges are likely to forgive first-time offenders.
What we've learned
Unfortunately, not everyone has my luck. (I'm sure it will run out tomorrow.) But no one has to roll over and accept raised ticket fees and insurance rates without trying something. And even if talking to the officer does no good, the worst thing that will happen is that you'll get the ticket expected in the first place.
Damage control
Exam cram
It's hard being a perfect student.
Here's how to become one overnight.
It's Sunday afternoon, and you just remembered that you have a gigantic psychology exam tomorrow. It happens. Here are a few tips to get you started on your cram session today.
Quit picking your butt and get started.
Find a quiet, happy place. Sometimes the library is more of a social hangout than a get 'er done type of atmosphere.
Organize everything, and make a list of the basic concepts you need to know. Figure out how much time you have. You can't go over everything. Tackle unfamiliar concepts first while you're still fresh.
Remind yourself that you're not superhuman
4
You must take frequent breaks. If you don't relieve your brain for five to ten minutes every hour, be prepared to forget those chapters and charts. Get out of your seat, wiggle around a little and gallop to
the kitchen and refill your tail, refreshing glass of aqua. That brings me to my next point: Do not, I repeat, do not overdo it on the caffeine. Your la-la-land boost will surely end up in a la-la-crash. Feed your face with nutritious snacks such as nuts or fruit, or anything that is equally high in protein and carbs. Staying up all night is for dummies, so get some sleep smartly!

Refresh Yourself
- Stayed up too late at the bar or cramming for that test? Try one of these tips to look awake:
- Do five minutes of jumping jacks to increase blood flow.
- Rinse your face with cold water.
- Take a shower and rub your body down with a soft brush or loofah.
- To eliminate dark eye circles, soak two cotton balls in witch hazel and dab them under your eyes for a few minutes.

College students with kids have to keep one eye on the books and the other on their children.
Everyday after daycare, 16-month-old Leila has her mother's undivided attention from 5 p.m. until bedtime.
Balancing act
By Joe Bant, Jayplaywriter
A National Achievement Scholar and former high school honors student, Kayron Kelly sometimes jokes that the only test she's ever failed was her pregnancy test. The Kansas City sophomore was barely into her senior year in high school when she discovered she was pregnant. Her faith and values ruled out abortion, and the connectedness she already felt to the child inside her made adoption equally unlikely.
She'd been looking at distant, "pretty" schools for college on the East Coast, like Florida and Florida State, but with a baby on the way, she shifted her focus to just finding a way to get to any college at all. That resolution carried her to where she is now - a young, single mom pursuing a double major in Spanish and biology who works weekends at restaurants on the side.
Kelly is not the only one. According to teenpregnancy.org, 34 percent of young women become pregnant at least once before they're 20 years old. For those who

decide to keep the child and stay in school, a precarious balancing act ensues. Students try to mold themselves into effective parents while still making progress toward an academic degree. Success often depends on a combination of external support and internal drive. Kelly counts herself lucky enough to have both in abundance. "You just have to look at the bright side," she says, all the while keeping one eye on her 16-month-old, toddling Leila. "I knew I could do it. Someday, she's going to be my best friend."
Part of what let's Kelly do it is the support of her parents. They live just a half hour away on the Kansas side of Kansas City, and Kelly says they're always willing to lend a helping hand by playing the role of babysitter or simple advice giver. Whether she's cramming for finals or just needs time to herself, she knows they're just a phone call away, and that does a lot for her peace of mind, she says.
Experts say this kind of parental or community support is essential to young parents' development, because no matter how willing they are, there's just not enough hours in the day for them to do everything themselves.
"It's not just dependent on them," says Morna Murray, co-director of education and youth development at the Washington D.C.-based Children's Defense Fund. "It's dependent on the amount of support they can get." Murray says the support can come from a variety of sources — parents, a spouse, community organizations to name a few—but it needs to come from somewhere. Society needs to realize that college-aged parents aren't a "one-size
Cindy Veo, Special to Jayplay
fits all" population. They're different people each in a
unique situation, and often they have vastly different needs.
Take for example 29-year-old Melanie Hull, already the mother of four young boys and the foster parent of a 35-year-old mentally handicapped man. Hull had her oldest son when she was 18 and her youngest just two years ago. A second-year student in accounting, this is the second time she's tried to come back to school to earn her degree. The first was cut short when her third child developed heart problems.
"Neither of my parents graduated high school," she says. "I want to be a good role model. If I can do this with four kids, anyone can do it."
Hull's typical day begins by taking her kids to school and daycare, and her foster son to work. Then she takes care of her classes and any errands afterward. In
Hull credits University of Kansas grants
between classes and errands, she hits the books. She finishes by picking the kids up, and she spends the evenings entirely with them and her husband. "Our family is everything," she says. "If I'm not in school, I'm with them."

Angelic-looking Lela can be a handful, with her fake crying and other attention-getting techniques.
with allowing her to pursue an education. Along with Kelly, she also uses the University-affiliated daycare at Hilltop Child Development Center, located on campus near the Burge Union.
Pat Pisani, is executive director of Hilltop. She knows about being a parent in college, because she had two kids of her own when she was pursuing a graduate
degree at the University during the 1970s. Pisani says Hilltop was a large help to her then, and today the center still makes helping students its top priority.
"There's going to be times when you feel like you're not devoting as much to school as you should, and there's going to be times when you feel like you're not devoting as much to your child as you should," Pisani says. Sometimes something's got to give."
This is a mantra Kelly and Hull can relate to. Both
spoke of the guilt they often feel about not being with their children every second of the day. For Kelly, who aims for medical school after her undergraduate degrees are finished, comfort comes by thinking of a better life for her Leila." "think about how proud she'll be of me when I'm done."

To all the java junkies: There's no such thing as "just a cup of coffee."
Photo by Kit Leffler
The heart and soul of espresso
By Robert Riley, Jayplay writer
The thick, black espresso seeps from the sterile machine, culminating in a perfect shot. A frothy tan crema forms at the top, as the rest of the creamy, brown foam swirls its way upward like a tiny pint of Guinness. I slip the shot into a dimpled Styrofoam cup, and gingerly pour steamed two-percent milk into the fragrant espresso. I'm careful not to disturb the steadily rising layer of micro-foam that is my canvas. I use the ultra-fine foam, or "white chrome," I hold back from the steamed milk to pour three gleaming white parallel lines onto the crema. Tracing the lines with a coffee stirrer to lengthen them, I drag the stirrer perpendicularly though the lines to form a wispy grid. Beaming with pride, I slid the embellished libation to its new owner. The customer dashs my artwork with sugar and snaps the lid on without a glance before rushing off. This is one memory from the six months I spent as a barista at The Community Mercantile, 901 Iowa St.
Kate von Achen, Lawrence senior, says there are a lot of components involved in making espresso drinks. Von Achen, who currently works at the Bourgeois' Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., has been a barista at various coffee shops in Lawrence for 10 years. She says it takes timing, motion and temperature control to ensure that coffee tastes the way it should. She says that when pulling a shot of espresso, only pour for 24 seconds, never let it sit for longer than 10. She warns never to pre-grind any coffee, because it loses its freshness when the air gets in, and the oils in the coffee could become rancid. Milk should be steamed at 150 to 160 degrees, and the steam wand should create a swirling motion with the milk. She says the swirling motion keeps the bubbles small, and heats the milk evenly to avoid scorching.
There are coffee-addicts who purchase their fix without noticing the effort that goes into making a fine espresso drink. Yet a barista —the man or woman who makes your favorite latte, cappuccino or specialty coffee drink—operates somewhere between the realm of art and science.
As a patron orders a latte, von Achen
talks to me while she creates the beverage. She says making lattes is her favorite, because of the foam art. "I like to make hearts, but sometimes they look like butts," she says smiling. "I can also draw certain parts of the female anatomy."
A man seated at the end of the bar interjects that baristas are a different breed of cats for sure. The voice belongs to Curt Melzer, owner of Vagabond Cafe in Wichita, and Harbour Lights, 1031 Massachusetts St., in downtown Lawrence. It's definitely different than bartending, Melzer says. He said he has hired a lot of bartenders, but it's harder to find a skilled barista. He says that a good barista is essential to a good coffee shop, because the personality of your baristas can make or break your business. Melzer says coffee shop customers are unique as well. Regular coffee shop goers appreciate the extra
effort, and the less knowledgeable customers wonder why it takes so long to make a couple of drinks, Melzer says.
Von Achen says making espresso drinks is definitely a skill, and not every place will train you well. She says working at Z's Divine Espresso East, 1800 E. $23^{rd}$ St., for four years was a blessing, and that the owner, Mark Zwahl, trained her well. I decide to go to Z's to see first hand if good training makes a good barista. Suzy Mosher, Lawrence sophomore, peaks out from behind rows of percolators, and stacks of coffee cups. Mosher has been a barista at Z's for two years, and says she loves her job. "I think it's really fun, and I'm glad to represent the company I work for," she says. "I think that it shows in my care for the drinks and in my attitude toward the customers." Mosher says that she likes to make breves the most, because
she can make the milk look so pretty. She says that foam art is also one of her passions, and an elephant is her specialty. "Our boss is very picky about coffee," Mosher says. "We have a guarantee that if you don't like your drink, then we will make it again until you do."
Henry's, 11 E. Eight St., was the next stop on my coffee quest, and my mission was to find an avid espresso connoisseur. John Huff, Lawrence resident, says he only drinks lattes. Huff says people don't think about a barista making the shot and the milk just right. "It's really disappointing when someone doesn't know what he or she is doing," Huff says. "I can't see why anyone would go to a push button place like Starbucks." Huff says Starbucks is a dirty word around most coffee shops. Longing to know what the employees at Starbucks think about being a barista, I went to a Starbucks for the first time in 22 years. Unfortunately, the manager on duty informs me that corporate policy prevents any employees from speaking with members of the press.
Still wanting to find out more about what makes baristas tick, I speak to Jeff Taylor, professional coffee roaster and three-time judge of the World Barista Competition. Taylor a barista's passion is one of the most important things he looks for in judging espresso. He says that judges usually evaluate two separate aspects of the espresso. The first is the taste of the coffee. The espresso should have a good balance of acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. The second is the tactile feel of the coffee. Taylor says it's the nuances on the tongue and cheeks that reveal the depth of the espresso. The characteristics he looks for in a great barista are artistic nature, creativity, a thirst for knowledge and attention to detail. "A barista can never stop learning about coffee," he says.
Coffee drinkers shouldn't be afraid to learn about the barista's craft. Next time you order your morning latte, breve, mocha, cappuccino, americana or whatever, don't be afraid to count the seconds on your shot. Remember that baristas are not just caffeine jockeys. Baristas are artists, maybe even scientists in their own right. They do whatever it takes to make sure your espresso drink is an experience, and not "just a cup of coffee."

1) What's your all-time favorite cartoon?
Stoner: I am partial to The Far Side. I suppose with my farm background, I have always seen the similarities between animals and humans. I find some truth and a great deal of humor to the various comparisons and reverse twists.
Turner: Bobby's World.I miss that one. I always liked the mom.
2] Name one irrational phobia you have? (i.e., like fear of public bathrooms or spiders)
Stoner. As opposed to rational phobias? I can't think of any.
Turner: Blood. I don't like hearing people talk about blood. I can't even hear the word.
3) What's the strangest infomercial you've seen?
Stoner: Although more of an advertisement than infomercial, I really thought http://multimedia.hondaeu.com/accord/d was quite unique. The infomercial on the exercise piece of equipment that folds up and slides under the bed (and probably stays there) is pretty strange. I suppose the infomercial on the various weed whackers and associated attachments like extensions for tree trimming are the strangest.
Turner: Windsor Pilates. It makes me laugh.
4) When was the last time you fell in public?
Turner: Last semester during the ice storm. I fell on my ass in front of 50 people.
Stoner: A year or so ago while going up the steps at the mall over in Topeka, I was taking two at a time and caught my toe on one about midway up the flight and down I went. Luckily, I didn't fall into anyone or cause anyone else to fall.
5) Who's better: Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera or Jessica Simpson?
Stoner: Christina Aguilera.
Turner: Jessica Simpson.

[We make musty poon smell fresh and clean again. Available in baby powder.]
I met this psycho guy at a party two weeks ago and he won't stop calling me. Last night he actually called me 37 times. Yes, 37. And he left a voice message each time. He's freaking me out, but I don't think he's breaking any laws. How can I get him to lay off?

Chris: Playing hard to get, eh? J/K! Seriously though, if you feel unsafe, get help. Act accordingly, but you have lots of options. The KU Public Safety Office can be reached at 864-5900, or you can just call 911. But before it gets to that, let all of your friends know what's on so they can keep their eyes open for any creepy guys lingering about. But you should probably just marry him.
Jessi: There is a major difference between having an interest in someone and having an obsession. By definition, this is stalking which is defined as "following or observing (a person) persistently, especially out of obsession or derangement." You can call him back, and let him know in a gentle, yet direct way that you are not interested and that he is making you uncomfortable. Whatever approach you take, be sure to make everyone in your life aware of what is going on.
Q
I had a bad experience with a girl whose vag smelled like it was dying. I accidentally let my negative reaction slip to her and now I'm afraid this could happen again with a new girl. What should I do if I encounter another smelly vag?
a
Mike, freshman
Chris: Fainting would be acceptable. Or fake a cramp and quickly limp out of the room to "drink some pickle juice to help my cramps." (FYI: The sodium in pickle juice can help reduce cramping!) And when your breath smells like pickles, she'll be turned off and you'll be off the hook.
Jessi: Does your region happen to smell scrum-diddly-umptious? If she's a hook-up, it's only a lingering taste. If she's a potential long-term relationship, tell her you employ extra washing or cologne down below. Then, you can ask her if she's ever thought of doing the same. If she's offended, tell her you enjoy pleasuring her even more when she's fresh and clean.
Q
1. masturbate at least seven times a day. Is this normal?
2. — Brett, sophomore
Jessi: I don't think seven jerkings in a day is normal. However, regular masturbation for both men and women is definitely healthy. Why not decrease the number of wacking sessions to one per day and gradually wean yourself from your penis partnership. You'll be thankful in the end when you have much more TIME on your hands instead of dick.
Chris: Normal? No. Safe? Probably not.I'll be honest; that's a lot of masturbating.And the "at least" portion of your question disturbed me.Seven? Geez.

The midnight crawl
WE DELIVER!
By Stephen Shupe, Jayplay writer
What happens in Lawrence between happy hour, last call and beyond, when consciousness fades and munchies run high? I decide to investigate and journey around town to late-night vendors, taking my abnormally large (at least for a sober guy) appetite with me.
12:50 a.m.
The trouble with delivering food in the middle of the night is that people black out. They'll return from the bars, call up an order, black out, order somewhere else and then black out again. The pizza guy will show up along with the sub guy, until there's four delivery guys out on the porch, demanding transaction. Josh Steward, Hayes senior, remembers showing up to deliver a Jimmy John's sub one night. Roommates opened the door to reveal Josh's customer stretched out on the couch, lying at the bottom of some inebriated abyss from which no shout or slap across the face would wake him. The roommates pilfered through his pockets, collecting money for the sub and a hand-some tip. For all Josh knew, they ate the guy's sandwich.
It's early in the morning on Sept. 11 and Bryan Adams is crooning over the PA system at Dillons, 1015 W. $23^{\mathrm{d}}$ Street. The tune is "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," the theme song to Don Juan DeMarco. I find Justin Schwarzer, Muscovah freshman, hanging out in the pastry section with some friends. All three look perfectly sober. Justin is buying a dozen donuts and some chocolate chip cookies while I pick up a copy of Rolling Stone, the one with Michael Moore in a Spartans cap on the cover. The employees look nonplussed as Justin and his friends skip
down the aisles. Justin tells me only Wal-Mart was open all night back home, and he likes visiting the all-night food houses in Lawrence - especially the Waffle House. Mmmm, I think. Waffle House.
1:10 a.m.
Instead of waffles I decide on pancakes and head to Perkins, 1711 W23rd St. When I walk in, a huge security guy dressed all in black is guarding the banana nut muffins. The manager shows me to a booth, passing two long tables of giggly Chinese kids speaking Mandarin. Like at Dillons, everyone is under 25, except for the four proletariats in the corner who talk about politics and working at a phone company. My waiter, a pleasant and soft-spoken kid named Reuben, brings me water, hash browns, sunny-side up eggs and pancakes, all for $4.99. I dig in and read about the delicious donuts in Moore's hometown of Flint, Mich., as Chinese girls pick fruit and bits of breakfast off their boyfriends' plates. Before paying, I approach one of the proletariats to inquire about his meal, but he eyes my copy of Rolling Stone and I chicken out. As I pay, an attractive couple in identical baseball caps heckles the manager about the smoking ban.
At Jimmy John's, 1447 W 23 $^{rd}$ St., Josh relates his travails in late-night delivery over a sign that reads "Please try not to
1:51 a.m.
smoke." Kids stumble in and order Italian Night Clubs and J.J.B.L.T.s. The employees at Jimmy John's call this time of night "the graveyard rush." Korey Norman, the assistant manager, recalls one night where this homeless guy had no money. The homeless guy ripped off his own fingernail with his teeth and bled into his sandwich so he wouldn't have to pay. "We usually don't give out anything free," Korey says. "But I'm not gonna let a guy go hungry if he bites off his nail for a sub."
2:07 a.m.
The bars are closed and half the drunks in town are at The Wheel, 507 W. $14^{\mathrm{th}}$ St. Sorority girls sit on the curb slurring into their cell phones as guys in red staff shirts sweep up the sidewalk. Greedy hands claw over the counter for slices of pepperoni and sausage on flimsy paper plates,

pumping back and forth like at a rock concert. I try to talk to a kid with green-striped socks and frizzy red hair who looks like Napoleon Dynamite, but the kid's not making much sense through his chomps. He's taller than me and the effect is like Charlie Brown talking to one of his teachers in those old cartoons, so I ditch Napoleon and grab a slice for the road.
2:22 a.m.
On the drive home I pass Burrito King at 9th and Illinois, where the cars in the drive-thru spill onto Illinois and threaten to back up the traffic headed east on 9th Street. Longhaired kids eat burritos under white umbrellas. It's the middle of the night, the pizza has been nibbled down to the crust and I'm starting to get jealous of these kids' alcohol-enhanced taste buds.

FREE ICE MATERIAL - WALL DRUG
DIGGING WALL DRUG
Free ice water is only the beginning of this story.
By Erik Johnson, Jayplay writer
MARA ZINGER
Some signs have made it as far as the South Pole.
There are signs.
There are signs. Thousands of them, from massive metropolises to some of the most remote regions of the world. London commuters see them stuck to the back of double-decker buses. As do rail commuters in Kenya, metro riders in Paris and visitors to the Taj Mahal. A post in Bien Hoa, Vietnam, tells passers-by they're only 10,659 miles away from Wall Drug, a drugstore in a tiny town called, appropriately enough, Wall, in the middle
of nowhere — South Dakota.
of nowhere — South Dakota. Wall will be my home for the next three days, and Wall Drug is the lure. If the sheer quantity of signs are any indication, I've been set up for either a huge disappointment or an incredible weekend adventure, one that you might want to take too, if you're looking for an unconventional road trip during fall break.
ventional road trip during fall break. The 340-mile stretch of interstate between Sioux Falls and Rapid City, South Dakota, is table-top flat. The only notable scenery is farmland stretching into a dreary abyss. A 75-mph speed limit tempts cross-country drivers to test the limits of their vehicles. My 1993 sea-foam green Honda Civic - think of a sun-bleached mid-80s bridesmaid dress - begins to shake violently at around 94, so I slow it down to a steady, but respectable, 90. Southerly winds whip dust from rain-thirsty fields into mountainous swirls that barrel across the highway and cause the back end of semi-trucks to sway in and out of their lanes.
their lanes.
Lurching over the first hill in nearly 30 miles, a handpainted, aged wooden sign flies by in a blur. "Stop at WALL DRUG!" It's a pattern that continues every few hundred yards for the next 300 miles. "Have you dug WALL DRUG" ... "Free Ice Water in WALL DRUG!" ... "T-Rex NEW!" And as the sun slowly descends over the Missouri River Valley in Chamberlain, S.D., anxiety falls over me. This is my final destination, and it had better be as good or better than advertised.
as good or better than advertised. The advertising started in 1931 when Dorothy and Ted Hustead bought the only drugstore in Wall, a town of 326 people wiped out by drought and the Depression. Needing business and noticing the number of travelers passing the store each day on the nearby highway, Dorothy suggested Ted place a sign near the highway offering free ice water. By the time Ted returned, travel
ers were already lined up for the free refreshments. The first sign worked, and for the next 30 years Ted would post signs on nearly every major highway in the Union, beckoning anyone and everyone to make a stop at the South Dakota drugstore offering free ice water. Most highway signs were removed during Lyndon B. Johnson's term as president under the Highway Beautification Act, but the signs remained in South Dakota, scattered on roadsides around the country, and elsewhere in the world remained.
elsewhere in the world remained.
Today, the lure of free ice water clearly is not what it used to be. Travelers brave enough to walk past the $1.50 bottles of Evian and settle for what comes out of the tap can get free water anywhere. But still, more than two-million road-weary travelers stop in Wall every year because the average summer day. What was
two-million road-weary travelers stop in Vienna —20,000 or more on the average summer day. What was once a lowly drugstore desperate for customers is now a multi-million dollar a year business that thrives on the power of cheap advertising and, of course, the sucker in all of us.
Day One Most visitors to Wall Drug end up there after driving a 39-mile loop through the North Unit of Badlands National Park. Here, sharp peaks stretch above deep voids in rocky earth, a sea of mountaintops among an ocean of prairie.The Badlands Loop road sits on seemingly impassible terrain that contorts around banked turns, drivers totally blind to what may lie ahead.
Stopping for a breather
and, of course, the social
but a new sign says coffee is only a nickel. It's 9 a.m. and the Best Western continental breakfast I ate three hours earlier only provided decaf, so I could use a cup or four. I wonder for a moment if refills are free.
Mayor Dave Hahn spends most of his time at the airport
Stopping for a breather midway through the park, a 70-something couple, Ron and Junie from Vermont, ask me to take their picture. Ron is clearly comfortable in boatshoes, cut-off jean shorts, a blue polo, heavy gold shades and, inexplicably, three gold watches. "This is the most exciting thing we've seen in days," says Ron, eying the lonely watch on his left wrist. "We're headed to Wall Drug next." Ron's seeming obsession with time creeps me out, so I give them a quick 'see ya there' and make it a point to beat them out of the parking lot.
I wonder for a moment if refills are free.
Downtown Wall is only a block long, shorter in length than Strong Hall. Cars with license plates from across the country and beyond — Maine, Florida, New Mexico, California, Alaska and Quebec, to name a few — park along each sidewalk, as well as two rows in the middle of the street. Wall Drug dominates the east side of the street. On the west side there's an assortment of more souvenir shops pushing Black Hills gold, cowboy gear and close-out T-shirts from the summer's Sturgis Harley Davidson Rally, a small café and what looks to be the only bar in town.
only bar in town.
As I park my car and take a moment to stretch, a magnificent example of social diversity unfolds in front of me: blue-haired octogenarians share the sidewalk with cowboys and roving hippies, distraught-looking parents with their children walk
them out of the parking lot. Safely out of the Badlands, the signs for my icy utopia emerge once again. The water is still free and abundant.
with their children walk alongside leather-clad Harleyheads. All eyes are big and bright, confused but eerily calm, as if they've just been shot out of a cannon only to find the landing a shapeless mound of velvet pillows, all thinking the same thing: "What is this strange but wonderful place I've been duped into stopping at?"
Strolling down Main Street, Ron spots me from across the street and shoots a wave with his two-watched wrist, so I quickly duck inside the nearest door.
The drugstore has four separate entrances, and I stumble into the fourth. To my left, a cowboy orchestra of three animated plastic figures that look like wax replicas of Blazing Saddles' Slim Pickens left out in the sun play an unrecognizably hokey tune, swaying side to side. The rest of the shop is a mix of strange souvenirs — Davey Crockett Coonskin caps, Chip Chuckers (plastic cow patty replicas), horseshoe coat racks, stuffed jackalopes, an assortment of 30 Wall Drug shot glasses and leather whips at $4.98 each.
whips at $4.98 each.
The Wall Drug mall to the right is a 100-foot walk-way straight out of a Western movie. About 14 shops line a
sky-lit hall where visitors can get pictures taken with fiberglass cowboys, maison-derrière women and a poker playing grandma. I spend a few minutes cramming my wide feet into cowboy boots and moccasins and making futile attempts to convince the lady at the fudge counter to give me free samples. The strength-tester in the back tells me my grip is "about as strong as a wet noodle" and gives me a rating of "Cow Poke," just between "Sod Buster" and "Bronco Buster." Irritated, I leave.

Cowboy hats really aren't my thing and I wouldn't be caught dead in leather chaps or a bolo tie, but there is a certain intrinsic charm about this town. Workers give genuine smiles to everyone who passes through — not as they've been trained to do, but as if they actually enjoy their jobs. Every morning a new set of eager tourists arrives, but there aren't annoyed locals who feel their precious space is being invaded.
their precious space is being invaded.
Being in a town with a population of about 800, the mayor of Wall is pretty accessible. He had asked me to meet him at the single-strip municipal airport on the west edge of town at 1 p.m. Mayor Dave Hahn, a 64-year-old, flat-topped man sporting jeans, a yellow denim shirt and gold aviators, forgot about our meeting but "wasn't doing anything worth canceling anyway." We take a seat in front of his single-engine airplane and get down to business, sort of. "You should know that my job as
business, sort of.
Mayor is strictly a part-time job," he says in a jolly, slow voice. He smacks his lips in between sentences. "I get 60-bucks a meeting, and we only have like two meetings a month." Hahn has been mayor here for over 20 years, and insists this will be his last term.
We make small talk for a few minutes; he tells me the only serious crime in Wall this year was an incident where four high school kids broke into the local golf course, and he can't remember there ever being a murder here. But mostly, Hahn is interested in his airport. He built two of the hangars himself and owns all but one of the planes, so his pride is quite understandable. With a firm handshake and a smile, we part, but not before he gives me a souvenir pocketknife with his title printed on it: Dave Hahn — Wall Municipal Airport. No mention of his mayor status, though I'm not the least bit surprised.
surprised
The cafe in Wall Drug is perhaps the standout feature of the entire store. With seating for more than 500 grubbing tourists, this is Western dining at its finest. Fine Tiffany lamps illuminate one
finest. Fine! Thinly lamps infusheddes of the most expensive Western art collections in the country and life-sized woodcarvings of somber Indian chiefs tower over a hand-carved walnut bar. A baked ham dinner is the special tonight. It's a one-half-inch thick slice of juicy ham with an ice-cream scoop of bright yellow potato salad and baked beans so thick with molasses I witness a fly struggle valiantly before sinking into the pasty goo.
into the pasty goo. Because this town is so small, the drugstore can't fill all positions with local workers, so it employs about 60 college-aged kids from Eastern Europe every summer to work the café. A gorgeous, towering, blue-eyed Czech Republican girl named Petra (pronounced PAY-trah) kindly took my dishes, and after working my usually pathetic boyish charm — the language barrier probably saved me — I was invited to a party (pronounced PARD-tree) later that evening.
After a few Budweisers at the Cactus Café and Bar to loosen up, I stop at the town's lone liquor-grocery store and pick up a 0.75 liter of the smoothest vodka it has to offer, a $7.29 plastic bottle of Kamkatcha, and make the seven-block walk to the east end of town.
seven-block walk to the backdoor
Entering quietly through the backdoor
of the two-story house, I try to keep a low profile until I can find Petra, failing miserably. What was just seconds ago 60 jubilant 20-somethings knocking back Pabst, shots of Jagermeister and, thank God, Kamkatcha, is now 120 cold eyes wondering who the hell the new kid is.

A few of the girls smile, and two guys in the corner shoot me dirty looks, but everyone else pretty much resumes their usual conversations. I bat eyes with my Czech princess for a few minutes – her English is limited and my Czech nonexistent, so analysis of Tolstoy or Dostoevsky is out of the question – before I'm coaxed into taking a few shots with a 6-foot-6 broad shouldered guy named Peter (pronounced PAY-tr). Eyes red, the sharp taste of cheap vodka lingering in the back of my throat, I see Peter is

After realizing that any attempt on my part to calm this situation is useless, and that whatever the hell is going on here has nothing to do with me, I inch my way back toward the door I entered only 10 minutes ago, give a quick "thanks anyway" nod to Petra, who has taken a break from the action for a cigarette, and head back to my campsite back on the west edge of town.
It's past midnight. Cheap, warm vodka mixing with cheap beer has created a boiling mess in my stomach, but a torn sleeping bag atop a thin air mattress never felt so good.
Day Two
Drug for an 11 a.m. meeting with the store's third generation owner, Ted Hustead.
After a quick rinse in a moldy shower at the campground and a Cactus Café breakfast buffet, I head back to Wall
ation owner, led Hustead.
He greets me outside his sprawling second-floor office wearing shined leather boots, Wranglers, a short-sleeved blue Oxford and a tie dotted with American flags. Hustead is half-cowboy, half-Wall Street, but all business. He tells me the store spends an average of $120,000 each year on advertising. A full-time "sign artist" paints 18 new signs each year, and 20,000 or more people come through every day during the summer, each helping themselves to a free bumper sticker.

crushing handshake, tells me to enjoy my trip, and hurries off.
For lunch I eat a buffalo burger at the Badlands Bar and Grill. I feel a bit guilty eating since this is supposed to be buffalo country and I have yet to see a live one anywhere. A stuffed possum with grashing teeth perches above the bar. I'd like some ranch sauce, but the sign above the cook's station makes it strikingly clear: "Notice: This is not Burger
King. You get it my way or you don't get it at all." Ketchup will do just fine.
As I step out the back door to cross the alley into Wall Drug's backyard, a kid darts past me, screaming with tears streaming down his little face. Maybe he expected to find tire swings and tree forts, only to be confronted with something different. To my immediate left, for a quarter, visitors can watch an 8-foot gorilla slam a piano, a quartet of Cabbage-Patch-looking dolls and stuffed bears rock the banjo while lifeless rabbits spin in circles. There's a fiberglass jackalope, bison, dinosaur, bear and another gorilla, all with terrifying looks on their simmering faces. A stuffed horse with much of its hair rubbed off is frozen in a bucking position and begs to be sat on. In the middle of all this sits the original well that Ted Hustead pulled water out of nearly 70 years ago. Way in back, a mechanical T-Rex, complete with smoke and warning lights, roars every 12 minutes. At night, this place would look like a perfect setting for a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas sequel.

After dinner at the A&M Café in the Badlands, I stroll into the Badlands Bar and make friends with the bartender. The place fills up quickly with locals knocking back Buds and singing along to Kid Rock and country tunes. Tina, a 40-year-old blonde woman in a ragged Minnesota Vikings T-shirt, faded jeans and worn jelly shoes takes a seat and buys me a shot of Wild Turkey without asking. Then another. And another. I retire to the bathroom for a much-needed break and return to discover that the bartender has introduced me to all eight people sitting at the bar as Gene. It's not worth correcting them, and I owe Tina a shot. This friendly reciprocation is a sign to Tina that I'm interested, and she continues with Wild Turkey freebies. She's trying to get me drunk, and it's working.
I make another desperate dash to the bathroom when a short, bearded man intercepts me with a few words of warning: "That Tina's trouble, Gene, you don't wanna mess with her." Not an epiphany, but helpful nonetheless. Returning once again, Tina has already lined up two more shots, putting the now hazy count at six. I
accept, but draw the line when her hand begins to gently stroke my leg. A quick nod to the bartender, cackling behind his Jack and Coke, and I'm out safely, stumbling home.
Day Three
It's Sunday, and a fresh set of wide-eyed tourists is already filling up Main Street. Eager to leave, I gulp two last cups of nickel coffee and my tires meet the hot highway pavement by 11 a.m.
once was. South, the towering pines of the Black Hills recede into rolling grasslands, then prairie land and bounding plateaus molded over millions of lifetimes once again in northern Nebraska. The next nine hours will be a distorted half-dream of single-lane state highways and bumpy interstates. The western sun sets for the last time in my rearview mirror, oranges melt into pinks, slowly dulling until the only light is a blanket of stars glimmering beyond a moonless sky.
Just about everyone leaving Wall heads west through the Black Hills National Forest. I-90 meets Sturgis on the north end of the forest. Just to the south is Deadwood, a place where 1800s outlaws sought safe refuge that is now five blocks of casinos and no longer the Wild Western place it once was.

Wannadig Wall?
The Badlands and the Black Hills surrounding Wall are amazing national parks and forests everyone should see, and aside from a stretch through eastern South Dakota and I-70 in eastern Kansas, the drive is actually quite enjoyable. The tourist season has passed, so the area is much less crowded, but still be careful of slow-going RVs and the occasional gang of rowdy bikers. Wall is a great place to stay for a night, maybe two if you're spending a day in the Badlands, but trust me, people get suspicious when they see you the third day in a row.

BIG FAT FUN
BLACK FAULT
By Chris Crawford, Jayplay writer
n a cramped room above the stage at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire, Andy Morton counts the heads of 19 people dressed in white shirts and ties. Chris, Hilary, Josh, Steve, Roxann, George, Sean, Gillian, Matt, Joyce, Eric, Julie, Noah, Kitty, Darci, Rachel, Kate, Max and Jason. Everyone is here. It's time to go.
This isn't Morton's church group getting ready to spread God's good word to the sinners who fill the Bottleneck tonight. This is Hello Superworld, Morton's newest project delving into the world of spectacle pop.
Morton, who describes his role in the band as "the guy that stands farthest to the front," is the lead singer and guitarist. People might recognize his name from his days in his old local band, Danger Bob. The rest of the

choir). Morton understands why his group might be compared to the Spree, as he used them as inspiration last winter when Danger Bob reunited for Morton's birthday with the addition of the members of Hello Superworld. That incarnation was called "The Mollyphonic Spree," but the comparison to the Spree ends at the
The concept of a large ensemble pop group might seem familiar with the increasing popularity of The Polyphonic Spree in the last couple of years (think the Partridge family meets the Manson family and performs in a huge psychedelic
"We're just a garage band that happens to have 17-20 people," Morton says.
band (See sidebar) is anchored with the staples of bass, drums and keyboards. It also adds the non-traditional elements of horns, flutes and a 10-member choir. The size of the group fluctuates with member availability.
size and unifying dress of the two groups. There are no hippie-vibes channeling out of Hello Superworld — just straight asshaking indie pop.
After the "Mollyphonic Spree" performance, Morton says he realized it was too much fun not to do it again. And although the group is still in its infancy, with only three shows under its belt, members speak about the experience with the enthusiasm of new parents.
Percussionist (congas) Steve Graber says he wouldn't exchange the experience for "$1,000 a
minute." Graber also supplies the use of his restored 1868 barn on his property south of Lawrence for band rehearsals. It's hard to find a place to rehearse with 20 people but Graber's barn is not only big enough; it's also equipped with a stage, sound system and wet bar.
The eclectic group of musicians that compose the band ranges in age from 18-year-old trumpet player George Brahier up to Graber, who is 53. KU grads and current students dot the group as well. The group also includes Morton's brother, Eric, and sister, Hilary.
Morton originally recruited his sister, Hilary, who is a choir teacher at Oregon Trail Junior High in Olathe, to arrange the music he wrote to fit a large group with a full choir. Eventually, Morton talked her into playing the keyboard in the band as well as singing. Hilary also recruited many people in the group including her boyfriend, Chris Shaw, who plays bass, her former student at Free State High School, George Brahler, on trumpet and childhood friend, Darci DeVictor, for the choir.
The Hello Superworld clan's first performance was at last summer's Wakarusa Festival at Clinton Park in Lawrence. Pay attention — Morton used to work at The Bottleneck, which is owned by Brett Mosiman, who also runs Pipeline Productions, which produced Wakarusa. Mosiman wanted local acts to perform at Wakarusa and pestered Morton to perform. Hilary Morton says they were treated like rock stars at Wakarusa with perks like free food and beer and special access only given to artists. She says people weren't sure what to make of the large group wandering around the festival.
"it's not often you see a rock band walking around in pressed shirts and ties," Hilary Morton says. She adds that they kind of look like Mormons or Bible salesmen, and people at the festival seemed like the type of people that are scared of Mormons—and cleanliness.
The 17 members of Hello Superworld make you wish you stayed in middle school choir or band. The band made its debut at last summer's Wakarusa Festival (pictured above).
The band performs original songs and a wide range of cover songs including: Triping Daisy's Sonic Bloom, Fountains of Wayne's Sink to the Bottom and Marilyn Manson's classic pop-gem The Beautiful People.
Morton's musical experiment landed him, his friends and relatives their first gig at a large outdoor festival. Not bad for a project that originated as a parody. Morton is also looking to expand the super-sized pop explosion (See sidebar). He says the goal now is to make the music more intricate and allow the audience an experience of sensory overload. Hello Superworld's next show is November 27 at The Bottleneck.
Another job that requires you to wear a shirt and tie
Are you a positive person with the capability to play your instrument over the ninth-grade level? Do you like making a spectacle of yourself? Have you accepted that you will never get rich playing in a band? If you answered yes to those three questions, then Hello Superworld is looking for you! Especially interested in keyboards, brass and the nonobnoxious woodwinds. Or perhaps you
play a non-traditional instrument that we haven't thought of. (Please, no saws, kazooos or didgeridoos.)
Drop us an email at Superworld-Hello@yahoo.com and you could be added to the fun. MUST have the ability to learn quickly, be musically creative and able to work well with others. No Frumpy-McFrumpers or Sum 41fans, please.

Cocktail of the week
Bellini
Face it, Italians love food. It's a good thing, because they most certainly have some skill in the kitchen — and behind the bar, too. The Bellini came into existence in 1948 thanks to an Italian bartender and his tremendous soft spot for Italian white peaches.

peaches.
Guiseppe Cipriani spent hours at Harry's Bar in Venice trying to perfect a cocktail using his favorite fruits as an ingredient. After many failures, he threw together some peach puree and Italian prosecco (sparkling wine to us) and that was that. He named his pretty pink drink after fellow Venetian Giovanni Bellini. (Impress your date with this history lesson: Bellini was a Renaissance painter known for revolutionizing the use of light and shadow in portraits. Many of his paintings used pink or peach hues.) Just imagine where we'd be now if it weren't for Guiseppe and his eternal peach love.
Today, the only place you can really get a taste of a true Bellini is in Italy, and if you're
ever lucky enough to go to Venice, try one. A lot of Americanized versions use peach schnapps or other liqueurs to achieve peachy flavor, and it's not the same. Demand that your Bellini is made with fresh peach puree. Or just make one yourself, it's probably easier.
Here's how:
Bellini
1 oz. white peach puree
5 oz. chilled sparkling wine
Pour peach purée into a champagne glass and add sparkling wine. You can blend fresh peeled white peaches in a blender, or buy a commercial brand - Bellini connoisseurs recommend a product by The Perfect Puree Company.
Another tip from Bellini lovers: don't use French champagne in this recipe. Its flavor doesn't mesh well with the peaches. Instead, go for a light Italian sparkling wine, such Asti Spumanti.

The Yacht Club
Location: 530 Wisconsin Street
The wide-screen televisions above the bar displayed in shockingly crisp color the tackle that New England missed, leaving them with only a handful of Edgerrin James's jersey. The game played on most, if not all, of The Yacht Club's many televisions. It has four televisions above the bar, booths with personal-wall televisions, a television on the patio and others are placed throughout the bar. I guess they made it that way in case you had to turn your head to cough or sneeze, you wouldn't miss a play. Compared to most Lawrence bars, The Yacht Club is definitely designer with its light wood paneling, stone walls and wrought iron encompassing the area.

Who??? Jayplay writer Matt Beat interviews RuPaul
venue
RuPaul is back with a new album and a nationwide tour. The album, Red Hot, is in stores everywhere. Rus says the new album "exemplifies everything that I listen to," and represents every style of music except country and rock. To preview the album, check out www.rupaul.com.
Q&A with RuPaul
Q&A with RuPaul You took a four-year break from show biz. How did you spend the time?
RURAUL
REDHOT
Being a human being again. I spend a lot of time reconnecting with my family, my friends and myself. After I hit it big, I just kept working and doing everything I could to stay successful, because that's what you have to do if you don't want to be forgotten. I spent so many years working that my personal life was being sacrificed.
Drag queens here look up to you. What advice would you give to those just starting out?
You have to really love what you do and you have to keep learning. I had to learn from all of my experiences. And you're going to have to give yourself time to learn from everything you do.
Your real name is RuPaul Andre Charles. Does anyone in the world have a cooler name?
I would say Chaka Kahn. My friends call me Ru.
Do you have any preferences in makeup?
Makeup is all the same stuff. Really, all you need is good foundation. As long as you have the right tools, brushes and sponges and you practice, practice practice, you will look good.
Have you ever been to Lawrence?
Well, I don't think so, but isn't that where that TV movie The Day After takes place? You know, the one about the nuclear fallout?
Yeah. I might have driven through Lawrence one time.
Oh yeah, it is.
I'm going to Manhattan in a month for the first time. What advice can you give me?
Which part of Manhattan are you staying?
Midtown.
Midtown is really just the tourist area, it's not Manhattan. You need to go to downtown, below 14 $^{\mathrm{th}}$ and 23 $^{\mathrm{rd}}$ Streets. The Village is where it's happening. It's the heartbeat of art and culture in New
York. It's not as funky as it used to be, but you're from Kansas so you'll love it.
Who is your favorite Disney-star turned-pop-star and why?
A girl named Rhona. Her album actually got pulled after being released. She had a great voice, but it just never happened for her. Raven (from That's So Raven) is another favorite of mine.
You used to sell used cars. What's your favorite car movie?
Smokey and the Bandit. I love Burt Reynolds in that movie. And I love the Trans Am he drove. They were big back then, I think it was in '77. And I also love all the James Bond movies because of the cars.
How about western movies?
What's your favorite John Wayne movie?
The Quiet Man. There's a really funny part of the movie in the first five minutes of the movie where (Wayne) describes all of these places to someone and then tells him "Don't go there." But my favorite western movie of all time is Blazing Saddles.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (星星)
PG, 107 minutes, South Wind 12
PG, 107 minutes.
Does anyone remember watching a movie and simply being in awe? Enjoying the film in a pure state, away from cynicism and judgment? Remember when you first watched ET; you didn't think to yourself, "this couldn't happen" and you didn't think anything of the clunky, cheesy dialogue. You took ET's word that he would be "right here" without rolling your eyes at the cheese of the moment. Not that I'm comparing Sky Captain to ET, but I'm talking about that pure unadulterated state of movie watching. As we grow older it's difficult to watch a film in this pure state, but necessary when watching Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Maniacal machines have invaded the world and it is up to Sky Captain (Jude Law) and Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) to stop them. With the help of mechanical genius Dex (Giovanni Ribisi) and feisty pilot Frankie (Angelina Jolie), Sky Captain and Polly race against time to save the world.
reminded me of Casablanca; remember the way Ingrid Bergman seemed to have a glow about her? That is how Paltrow glaws. The film has a flash of The Wizard of Oz, the energy of Indiana Jones and the savvy of Star Wars, but ultimately comes up with a style that is all its own. And although at times you may feel your eyes wanting to roll or your mind starting to judge the magic of movie moments otherwise considered cheese, do try to resist. Because at the core, Sky Captain follows in the steps of all the greats of old filmmaking. It looks brand new ... or old-fashioned ... or just good.
Polly race against time. Much has been written about the film's digitally created environments and its somewhat sepia-toned look, but I'll only say one thing: It works. The look of the film

Wimbledon
(☆☆)
PG-13, 100 minutes
PG-13, 100 minutes
At the least, Wimbledon shows us how big Paul Bettany is going to be some day. We've seen him before outside of Russell Crowe's shadow — Bettany played supporting characters in A Beautiful Mind and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. This is the first time we get to see him carry a movie on his own, and he is up to the task.
In Wimbledon, Bettany plays Peter Colt, an English journeyman professional tennis player at the end of his career. The film opens with him accepting a job at a country club, which he will begin after he announces his retirement from professional tennis at his last Wimbledon tournament. By accident, he walks into the hotel room of an up and coming, flamboyant American tennis star named Lizzie (Kirsten Dunst), and the two immediately fall for each other. Somehow her presence injects life into Peter's rusty tennis game, and he starts winning again. This relationship is much to the chagrin of Lizzie's father (Sam Neil) because he
13
doesn't want his daughter to have any kind of distraction from her game.
Bettany is charming as the lead, and I couldn't stop thinking of Hugh Grant as I was watching him. Like Grant, Bettany brings a kind of bumbling affection to his role and we can't help but love him. Sadly though, Wimbledon is like a lot of other sports movies in that it is filled with clichéd characters (Jon Favreau's sports agent couldn't be any more stereotypical) and predictable outcomes. The tennis scenes are impressive, mostly done in long, uncut shots, and some nice camera tricks. But Bettany and the tennis do not make up for a movie that doesn't add anything new to its genre.

RuPaul Red Hot
Having milked what appears to have been a joke for ten years and two worthwhile singles it appeared that pop culture's favorite transvestite supermodel had very possibly hung up his stilettos to retire to the proverbial gay nightclub in the sky. Not so, according to the press release that accompanies his latest album, REDHOT. Citing a newfound inspiration in light of "what's happening socially and politically in the world right now," RuPaul felt that nothing could benefit the post-9/11 world better than another album full of slick, if unremarkable, dance music laced with tongue-incheek vocals.
mas-cabaret album titled Ho Ho Ho and boasting the faux-single I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus, it may be hard to get excited about any new RuPaul record, let alone one bearing the weight of a mission statement.
Despite its aspirations, however, REDHOT fits neatly alongside RuPaul's best work, which is to say it features slickly engineered dance music and highly excitable, if forgettable, vocals.
RuPaul spends much of the album delving into topics that rarely stray from statements of his fabulousness, none of these exercises more successful than the first single, Look Good Feeling Gorgeous, which replicates the call and response infectiousness of Supermodel (You Better Work) if not its intensity.
RuPaul does take respite from vanity to confront issues as pressing as racism on My Love Sees No Color and as topical as gay marriage on Love is Love, though the arguments He loves me, I love him too/ What on earth does that have to do with you? probably won't sway conservative lawmakers.
lawmakers. RuPaul's latest may be less of a dance floor revolution than fodder for Dance Dance Revolution, but after ten years of the same stink thats probably better than expected.
Grade: C+
If you get ecstatic about the thought of a RuPaul album, just go out and buy his debut Supermodel to the World. If you're just interested in gay music, however, just listen to some Elton John. Trust me

The Faint Wet from Birth
Since they sprung out of Omaha, Neb., six years ago. The Faint have been as evolutionary as they have been revolutionary. Originally a Pavement/Pixies inspired conglomerate, the band has since morphed into both a new new-wave outfit as well as a group of electro dance anthem purveyors. On its latest, Wet From Birth. The Faint incorporate mixed parts of both past and present into one of the best albums of the year, solidifying its status as
one of the most important and innovative bands in America.
Though more guitars are added and the string section further empowered, Wet From Birth doesn't deviate a great amount from The Faint's last album, 2001' Danse Macabre. The greatest disparity between the two is in vocalist Todd Baechle's performance and function. On Danse Macabre, Baechle spat dark, cryptic lyrics about anger, death and suburbia; short, morbid stanzas often under a digitized guise. On Wet From Birth, his vocal exports of love, fear and inadequacy erupt to the forefront, letting them serve as an integral element of the song — not simply as disguised words interspersed with frenetic beats and shrieking synths.
Standout tracks include How Could I Forget, a story of a verbal exchange between an introverted intellectual and a shallow fashionista sung over the rumbling shakedown of a Jackie Trent interpolation and Southern Belles In London Sing, a gorgeous electro/string infusion. Wet From Birth's most lighthearted track, Erection combines ratty guitar and double entendre into one of the best songs maybe the only song ever about inconvenient engorgement.
Buy this album if you wish to become a better person and help save the world.

ESPN NFL 2K5 for Playstation 2
Right from the start you can tell ESPN put all it had into this game. From the opening scene to the actual game, this game mimics all the aspects from a professionally produced ESPN pro football game. Seemingly at random, the commentators will cut to a passing breakdown chart or some other piece of information. This can really slow down the pace of the game at pivotal moments and interrupt your concentration, however.
your concentration, now see
The graphical presentation is top notch and has some of the best motion capture I've seen in a game. The players all act realistically when hit or as they make a touchdown and dance around the end-zone.
down and dance aside, NFL 2K5 has quite a bit to offer. The franchise mode gives you more options than I have ever seen in a football game, letting you set up your training regimen for the week. This means that you can have your quarterback strength train focusing on his hamstrings to increase speed; you can have your receivers run pass routes, have linemen work on practice dummies, and schedule
either full on scrimmages or go with minimal contact. These options let you customize your team exactly how you want to fit your play style.
fit your play style.
In the end it all comes down to how much money you want to spend and if you are willing to deal with the difficult play mechanics. EPSN NFL 2K5 is only $20 while Madden games are generally in the$ 50 range. My advice would be to go rent EPSN NFL 2K5 and see if you can put up with the game mechanics and player control, and if not, go get Madden instead.
For future reviews I would like YOU to send me an email of which game you want reviewed the following week. You can also write me if you want to disagree with me on anything, or if you thought I was grievously wrong. Contact me at nickfinn@ku.edu.
The Guy Game for Playstation 2
Nick Finnegan
It had to be made sooner or later, I suppose. Someone took the drunkenness and all the topless girls from spring break and put it into a trivia game. It's The Guy Game for Playstation 2.
The game is pretty simple. You're a horny adolescent, but you don't have the money to travel down to South Padre Island for spring break. This game brings it to you. The game has actual video from South Padre and all the women a person can stand. However, this is something I don't want to see on a video game console.
don't want to see on a video game.
This trivia game is composed of four rounds. The first round is basic trivia. You get a question and try and decide the right answer. The more time it takes to answer the question, the better chance you have of answering the question, but you get less money if you guessed correctly. Then it goes back to the women getting the question on the video and you must guess if they answered it correctly or not. If the women guess it wrong, they have to show their ta-tas. The second round is an optional round that consists of rolling balls. Let's not go any further with that. The third round is almost the same, but with the women guessing, they get it wrong. For their answers, you must guess what wrong answer the women guessed. The fourth round is the final challenge where three women are in various competitions. You must decide on how much
money to wager to see who wins the competition. The women also get a bonus if they decide to compete topless.
they decide to complete topics. The amount of nudity seen on the game is based on the Flash-O-Meter. First, the women's boobs are blocked by The Guy Game's "knocker-blocker," and then they are partially obscured by pixels, and finally no censors when the meter hits the red. The more points you get, the more flashes of boobs you get to see.
flashes of boobs you get.
Also to help cheer you on, players choose a Guy Game model for their character. It's sort of like a cheerleader for the players. The more answers you get correct, the more skin your cheerleader shows.
shows. This game may be funny at some points, but it is no way fun. However, I did play this when I was sober, and this looks like a game you can only enjoy when you are drunk and around other horny college men. I decided not to go down that road, however.

Strengthening the bonds And helping your friends through good times, bad times and worse
Pamela M.
By Jayme Wiley,
Jayplaywriter
The phone rings and wakes me up. It's 2:30 in the morning. I grab the phone and grumble hello. "I need help. My parents are being crazy again, and I
need you to come pick me up." I angrily crawl out of bed and put clothes on to go pick up my boyfriend. I'm only in high school, but this phone call is a weekly thing.
thing.
My boyfriend of four and a half years and his sister were my best friends. We met at the end of my freshman year and hit it off instantly. Maybe it was because I desperately needed friends and they desperately needed someone to care about them. My parents moved me to a small Kansas town at the beginning of the year, and T.J. and Stephanie came later that year. So we were all new-kid outcasts. I was 15 but to be their friend, I had to grow up quick and deal with things I had never seen before.
seen before. T.J. and I became friends before we started dating and I became a third kid at his house. I would stay over there every night until my curfew and then sadly head home at 10. I liked being out of my house just like any teenager does; but at
T. J.'s, I saw things that nobody should have to witness. There were incidents of mental and physical abuse from his parents and extended family members. His parents were alcoholics, and I rarely saw them sober.
One of the first incidents of abuse I saw happened on a summer evening. T.J., Stephanie, and I had invited some friends over to their house to hang out before we were to head to the annual carnival in town. T.J., then 17, wanted to drink before we went to the carnival and his parents said that was fine as long as he was responsible. When we returned to his house, his parents had obviously changed their minds. T.J.'s room was in the basement and there were five or six of us sitting talking on the couch. His father stumbled down the stairs saying he needed to talk to T.J. now. T.J. followed him up and I snuck up behind him to watch from the bathroom. I could feel something was wrong. They stood outside on the porch arguing about why there were so many people there and why T.J. was drunk. The truth was that T.J.'s father was so drunk I could smell the alcohol on him. I remember coming out of the bathroom and peeking my head around the corner just enough so that I could see but couldn't be seen.
T. J.'sfather picked up a rake and smacked T.J. in the back of the head with it. T.J. began to fight back. I was scared shitless. I ran downstairs to tell everyone they needed to leave and grabbed Stephanie to come upstairs with me. Once we were upstairs, the fight was on. T.J. and his father were in the living room. T.J. was punching holes in walls and throwing things at doors. He even went so far as to throw a jackhammer at his dad's head. I ran to him crying hysterically and begged for him to stop. I grabbed his ankles trying to slow him down as he took step after step towards his father. There was so much anger in his eyes that I don't know if anything would have stopped him. His mother called the police and they showed up in the middle of the fight. The police questioned me about what happened, and I told them what I knew.
pened, and I told them what had I had Stephanie take me home after I was interrogated. I tried to walk into my house as though nothing had happened even though my eyes were swollen from tears and my cheeks looked like strawberries. My mom asked what was wrong and I said nothing. I went to bed and got a call a couple of hours later from T.J. He wanted to stay at my house for the night and in order for him to do that, I would have to tell my parents why. My parents
always had a feeling that something was not right with T.J.'s family, but they never knew the extent of their problems.
knew the extent of this happen too frequently with Stephanie and T.J. I was their lifeline; the only stable thing they had in their lives. I took them to school every day, invited them over for family dinners and listened to their problems; all the while, I tried to be their parent and friend rolled into one, which eventually put too much of a strain on me. My sophomore year in college I broke up with T.J. We depended on each other in unhealthy ways. Stephanie and I remain friends, but I have finally just gotten to the point where I can say, "Stephanie, you're an adult and I can't make your decisions for you."
The summer I met this family my life changed. I learned that helping people is not always helpful to them or you. I made it easier for T.J. and Stephanie not to deal with their problems themselves. I am grateful for my parents. I've been fortunate enough to have my parents show me what kind of parent I want to be and to have T.J. and Stephanie's parents show me what kind of parent I don't want to be.

Record aside, team ready for Big 12
'Hawks welcome home field advantage after steady slew of road games
BY KELLI ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
The real season begins tomorrow for the No. 8 Kansas women's soccer team as it hosts Nebraska in the Big 12 opener for both schools.
KU finished its nonconference schedule with an 8-1 record, but the team knows this won't impress anyone once conference play begins.
"There is a little more at stake on the conference games," said coach Mark Francis. "They just mean that much more."
Getting out of the gate with a victory will be important for the Jayhawks, because in a conference as strong as the Big 12, home losses are difficult to get past.

and Texas.
"It will be nice to get two quality teams like Nebraska and Colorado at home to start the conference season," Francis said. "It's a big advantage playing at home and we need to make the most of that advantage."
The home games will be a welcome change for KU. The team has played six of its nine games on the road this season, and will finally get a break in the next two weeks when it hosts matches against Nebraska, Colorado Texas Tech and Baylor.

players couldn't be happier starting the conference season with home games.
"It will be good to have home field advantage this weekend," said senior midfielder Amy Geha. "It feels like we've been on the road this whole season."
The time at home will give the players a chance to catch up in their classes and allow the team more time to prepare for its conference foes.
Getting ready for a conference game is different than preparing
for a nonconference game, because the two teams are familiar with each other and can spend more time practicing on the field than studying scouting reports.
"The style that each team plays doesn't normally change, so we will be familiar with that," Francis said. "It's not like some nonconference games where you really have to do your homework."
One of the main areas of focus in practice this week has been on improving the teams finishing ability, Francis said. It's an area Francis wants to see the team perform better at in conference play.
"I think our finishing could be better," he said. "Obviously our forwards have done enough for us to win eight games, but we need to be more consistent."

WNBA Shock need win to advance
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Detroit Shock's bid for a second straight WNBA championship is looking anything but easy. Without leading scorer Swin Cash, and the team needed a win on the last day of the regular season to grab the final playoff berth.
Under coach Bill Laimbeer, the Shock engineered a worst-to-first turnaround a year ago, going from the fewest wins to a league-best 25-9 record en route to its first title.
The team went back to struggling this season, only winding up 17-17 by closing with three straight victories.
Detroit hosts the New York Liberty in Game 1 as the postseason starts tomorrow night. Los Angeles is at Sacramento in that night's other game, while the other series begin Saturday;
Connecticut at Washington, and Seattle at Minnesota.
The Shock's Cash is sidelined for all of the playoffs with a torn ligament in her left knee.
Sixth in the league in scoring average at 16.4 points, she averaged 6.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32 games before hurting her knee at Phoenix on Sept. 11.
"We have a significant injury. However, we have other great players," Laimbeer said. "You look at the Eastern Conference, and our interior post play, we think, is the best, with Cheryl Ford, Ruth Riley and Barbara Farris. That's going to be our strength."
Indeed, the Shock still have three double-digit scorers in Riley — Cash's U.S. Olympic teammate and last year's Finals MVP — and All-Stars Ford and Deanna Nolan.

The players' attitudes are much the same.
"Fall helps me get my swing comfortable and get to know the

Despite the fact that these games don't count toward the record, the players will have a lot riding on them and need them to prepare for the 2005 campaign.
"It gives some people a chance to fill some starting positions," Bunge said. "Practice is great, but getting out there and playing at game speed is something that will help us out greatly."
Frankenstein said the team is also looking forward to showing everyone early on what they are capable of.
"We look awesome already, and were working together to go far when spring comes," she said.

Enrollment
Enrollees hit all-time high
Retention rate resident students have increased
BY Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
kANSAN STAFF WRITER
www.kansan.com
The one-year retention rate for returning students and overall enrollment at the University of Kansas are at an all time high.
According to the 20th-day figures released by the Board of Regents, overall University enrollment for all campuses increased 318 students, or 1.1 percent, from Fall 2003 with a total of 29,590 students. The Lawrence campus itself totaled 26,980 students, which was a 166 student increase, or 0.6 percent, from Fall 2003.
This fall saw a record high of 20,379 Kansas resident student enrollees, which was 68.9 percent of the student population. This was a 386 student increase from Fall 2003.
The number of non-resident students actually dropped by 158 students from Fall 2003. Shulenburger credited the drop largely to the impact of the new tuition structure at the KU Edwards Campus, because it is no longer a flatrate campus.

The total number of minority students enrolled at the University of Kansas this fall, 3,420, increased 139 students, or 4.2 percent, from Fall 2003's number of 3,281. The number of first-time freshmen minority students enrolled also increased from 512 students in Fall 2003 to 561 students this year, a 9.6 percent increase.
Robert Page, director of multicultural affairs, said the new numbers recognized the University's ability to project a welcoming environment for minority students, and one in which they can succeed.
"A student of color will succeed here academically, while having a safe and comfortable place," he said.
Page credited the continuing record highs to a high retention rate and an increase in incoming freshmen. He said the University, and particularly the Office of Multicultural Affairs, was doing everything it could market the

Cell phones not coming to campus housing
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
But Ken Stoner, director of Student Housing, said the department was not seriously considering the issue of cell phones at this point.
The University of Kansas is considering cell phones for all residence hall residents, according to a recent USA Today article.
Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for information services, said cell phones were only one of the projects that Information Services was considering to improve technology and life in the halls.
The University appeared in a USA Today article on Wednesday titled University housing going new school.' It was about upgrades schools are implementing to attract students. Haya El Nasser, USA Today reporter, wrote the article, and said the point was that the University was only looking at the option.
Vince Avila, associate director of student housing, said almost everyone in the residence halls had a cell phone. He said there was a small percentage of people who did not have cell phones. If a person did not have a cell phone, the rooms still had a voice or land line connection. Avila said.
Avila said hall renovations were the main focus.
Stoner said all residence halls were full for this year. Stoner said the department of student housing was having no problems attracting students to live in the halls.
Stoner said the renovations were being done to meet students' needs. He said students today were not used to sharing their bedrooms, bathrooms or televisions. Stoner said the residence halls had originally been designed for people his age who had come from homes where everything was shared.
Avilla said rooms started having more amenities such as kitchen sinks and private bathrooms. Renovations on Ellsworth Hall were completed last year. Hashinger Hall will close in May for renovations that are scheduled to be completed by Fall 2006. Avila said Stouffer Place apartments were being renovated one building at a time. Avila said about five apartments had been renovated out of 25 apartments. The apartments are being enlarged.4.

Gay unions incite debate
BY ANDY HYLAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Genevieve Wood faced a tough crowd last night.
Her task was to take the side against the question "Should the government support same sex marriage?" at a Student Union Activities sponsored debate at the Lied Center.
But Wood, vice president for communications at Family Research Council and an occasional television pundit, didn't back down.
In liberal Lawrence, such a position won't win you many supporters.
After she and her opponent for the night, Jonathan Rauch, Atlantic
Monthly correspondent, presented their arguments, Wood faced questions attacking her position from the 175 people who attended the event.
Emily McCave, a children's therapist from Topeka, asked Wood if a gay woman and her lover's children would be better off than unplanned pregnancies in heterosexual marriages, and the audience applauded.

Wood maintained her cool.
"This happens a lot on college campuses," she said.
Wood said it was important to keep children in mind when talking about gay marriage and that children were better off with a parent from both sexes.

BushsaysIraqundercontrol, willsendmoretroopsifasked
WASHINGTON — Denying he has painted too rosy a picture about Iraq, President Bush said yesterday he would consider sending more troops if they were requested, but Iraq's interim leader firmly said they weren't needed.
With violence spreading, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suggested parts of Iraq might have to be excluded from elections in January.
Bush and Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, standing in the Rose Garden under a bright sun, agreed that Iraq was making steady progress despite bombings, beheadings and violence that has claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Americans.

Two U.S. soldiers charged with murder in Iraqi deaths
TOPEKA — Two Fort Riley soldiers charged with murder in Iraq were serving their second tour of duty there, the post said yesterday.
Williams and May are the second pair of soldiers from 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry charged with murder in as many weeks. The two others were charged with first-degree murder in Clay County in north-central Kansas.
Officials identified the soldiers as Sgt. Michael P. Williams, 25, of Memphis, Tenn., and Spc. Brent W. May, 22, of Salem, Ohio. Both served with Company C of the 1st Battalion, in the 41st Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division. It has been assigned to the 1st Cavalry Division from Fort Hood, Texas, and in Iraq since June.
About 750 soldiers with the regiment are serving a year in Iraq. Both Williams and May also were with the unit in Iraq from February 2003 until July 2003. Approximately 2,500 soldiers from Fort Riley are in Iraq.
Williams and May are charged with premeditated murder of three Iraqis.

Evening of Diversity links students, athletes
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Evening of Diversity was more cozy last night than it had been in the past.
Because of construction the event was moved from its usual space, the Naismith Lounge at the Wagon Student Center, to the Adams Alumni Center. More than 100 students were invited — about half as many as last year.
Still, the event's organizers didn't think the smaller space would be a problem.
"They won't have that open space to hide," said Pamela L. Scott, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
The Evening of Diversity which began five years ago, is designed to link various student groups on campus with athletes.
They spend an evening focusing on University diversity issues and participate in interactive workshops that challenge the students to think about stereotypes they might have.
The idea for the event came
from Monique Kazadi, associate director for degree and career counseling for the Athletics Department, and Tony Daniels, former associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
"It was a good way to bridge the gap between student athletes and student organizations on campus," said Renita Norman, Topeka senior.
Norman, a member of the Black Student Union, attended the event along with members of other student groups: the Asian American Student Union, Diversity Peer Education Team, First Nations Student Union, Hispanic American Leadership Program, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Multicultural Resource Center made it a point to collaborate with the Athletics Department. Scott said.
She said athletes had many obligations and sometimes missed out on getting involved with student groups on campus.
"A lot of them are going to
be students of color and coming from different states," Scott said. "They won't know anything about KU except the team they're playing for."
Scott hoped the evening piqued some interests.
"You get to learn new things about people and culture," he said.
Julius Jiles, Kansas City. Mo., freshman, said the event promoted diversity.
The food fit the diversity theme as well with different types sushi and California rolls provided by Kokoro Japanese steakhouse, 601 Kasold Drive, and other foods provided by Union Catering.
"It's a way to make sure we're all working together and that we're all on the same team." Kazadi said.
Kazadi said the evening was about going beyond your comfort zones.
Anybody can be a part of student groups on campus, Kazadi said, and this is an important part of what they are about.
"Diversity education involves all people, and I think we lose sight of that sometimes,"
Kazadi said. "When First Nations Student Union has a pawwow they're not expecting just Native Americans to show up. They want to expose everyone to that culture."
The evening also could give athletes a chance to win over new fans.
"We all know that the basketball team can handle themselves," Daniels said, "but a sport like women's softball can get more of a fan base."
Diversity training is not just for the students and athletes.
The coaches and support staff also go through training in order to better understand different perspectives, values and cultures of the players.
The training is an opportunity to re-examine who the coaches are talking to and how the player receive information Daniels said.
The athletics management staff received diversity training in the spring and the support staff was trained over the summer.

Task force looks into legal file-sharing program for University
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA AND RACHELLE HEROD
incoviglance@kansan.com
KANSAN STAIR WRIRE AND SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Worries of fines for illegally downloading music may be only distant memories. A Student Senate task force is gathering information to possibly subscribe to a music downloading program at the University of Kansas. If the University signs a contract with a music downloading program, students will be able to legally download at bargain rates compared to individual subscriptions.
Student body vice president Jeff Dunlap said that a deal with a
downloading service such as Napster or RealPlayer would give students a cheap way to legally download music.
"Other universities do it and have done marvelously well," Dunlap said. "University of Rochester had more than 10,000 students sign up to use its service in the first month alone."
Options currently used by University of California-Berkeley and University of Rochester include agreements with file-sharing giant Napster and RealPlayer's Rhapsody for downloading capabilities as low as $2 per month.
In the past few months, the Recording Industry Association
of America has prosecuted three KU students for illegal downloading. So far, the RIAA has made settlements for either $750 per song or a lump sum of $3,000 for the offense.
Dunlap, Leawood senior, said students knew that downloading music without paying was illegal, but they decided to do it anyway.
"It's their choice," Dunlap said. "People understand what they're doing. It takes a while for them to realize that."
A task force of six student senators will look into the feasibility of a downloading program to students and to the University. Throughout the semester, Dunlap
said the task force would contact companies and ask for contract bids. Before the task force begins to look at contract bids, it will first try to gauge the student body's interest.
Dunlap said he had spoken to about 100 people about the program so far and had received positive responses from about 80 percent.
"If there were an option available for legal downloading, I'd use it." Isaac Dill, McPherson senior, said. "If the price were low enough, I'm sure people would see it as an option."
emphasized that cost may be the deciding factor for the University though student fees would pay for the cost of the downloading service.
Marilu Goodyear, vice provost of information services,
Information Services will assist Student Senate in implementing a downloading program.
John Fogerty, Napster associate director of business development, was unable to disclose the amount per contract, but said they were able to offer 70 percent discounts on memberships to University students. An individual subscription with Napster is $9.95 for each month of service. Nine schools have already joined the Napster university program.
"We have a population of students who are musically inclined and culturally adept," Dunlap said about the possible deal. "I think KU will respond well."
Student Senate is in the planning stages for the project now. If cost is reasonable, Dunlap said a student fee for a downloading program would be put to referendum on the Student Senate ballot in the spring election.
"We'll find out how interested they are once we tell them they have to pay for it," said Jason Boots, task force member and Plano, Texas, junior.

Marketing plan will shape the University's new image
Some students may have heard the talk about the University of Kansas's new Integrated Marketing plan, but the rest should really pay attention. This plan includes some major changes in the way college shoppers see the University, and is aimed "to enhance the image, reputation and visibility of KU in the eyes of key constituents," according to the official KU Web site, www.ku.edu/marketing.
One aspect in particular was interesting: the marketing teams aim to improve our "visual identity." One of the key changes talked about is the University of Kansas seal. The teams think it should be used more sparingly and treated with the utmost respect, and some talk about changing the design of the seal. Perhaps it has to do with being a state-funded school and having Moses kneeling in front of a burning bush for our seal. KU administrators may want to be more cautious of the church and state separation, and others may feel the seal does not properly illustrate the University. While some would argue that this symbol stands for the pursuit of knowledge, others cannot look beyond the facts: it's from the Bible.
Should tradition carry on for its own sake, or should the University embrace a new seal design? If the seal did change, the top contender would be the Campanile. It's
unique to KU, it's recognizable and it comes with years of traditions surrounding it. But what does it say about the true mission of KU? That we take pride in our landmarks?
Another suggestion that might represent the true mission of KU includes Moses knealing before a giant "25." Sacrilege to some, but what others view as the truth: our Chancellor's long-standing goal to make the Top 25 Universities list. Maybe it's better to forget Moses altogether, and just make it a big "25."
If the Top 25 theme doesn't suit, there's another choice: a nostalgic picture of Wescoe Beach, the center of a student's life on campus. All the soliciting, cating and hanging out goes on there, so why not let us be remembered by what KU students actually do. If none of these ideas work, maybe the University could be associated with the state of Kansas. Perhaps an amalgam of ruby red slippers, a buffalo, a sunflower and a tornado would make a striking image for the seal. If sports are the focus at KU, maybe an anti-Mizzou or anti-North Carolina (if you're still bitter about Roy) would work best.
Whatever the choice may be, it's not in the students' hands. But one thing can be said: If the University is going to spend thousands of dollars on the marketing survey, students should want this emblem to get maximum use.

BUSH WHITE HOUSE
Register to vote, join the fight
Attention students: Your future is being decided without your input. In the 2000 election 67.7 percent of Americans aged 18 to 24 did not vote.
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
Let that settle in for a second. That means that on this campus two out of three students did not vote. While many see this national apathy as a barrier, I see it as an opportunity to get 18 million new votes. Think of what one million votes can do, let alone 18 million. That is why it is essential we work together to get our peers to the polls.
Last week I asked you to vote for John Kerry and the Democrats, but in this election voting is not enough. The stakes are too high and direct action is absolutely necessary. As the least active voting base in elections, we have a vast reserve of potential to present to this country.
The blame for the state of this country is squarely on the shoulders of the Republican Party. Right now the Republican Party controls all three branches of the government and in the past four years the numbers show that this has been disastrous.
Median income has declined by $1,535 since President Bush took office. There are now 4.3 million more people living below the poverty line, an increase of 14 percent.
PORTRAIT
Bush is the first president since Herbert Hoover to have a net decrease in job growth.
BLAKE SWENSON opinion@kansan.com
No Child Left Behind Act , Bush's touted education reform, fell $2 billion short of full funding in 2003 and is projected to fall $28 billion short in 2004.
In 2003,1.3 million new Americans became uninsured.
There are countless scandals involving intelligence blunders, Halliburton, Enron, fear and lies about a certain war.
By Sept. 30 the taxpayers will have paid $135 billion for the war in Iraq, a war which has cost more than 1,000 American lives (close to 200 were under 24), nearly 7,000 wounded soldiers and more than 12,000 innocent Iraqi civilians. In addition, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld called the fatalities "relatively small."
President Bush and the Republican Party are clearly not on our side. We need a president and a Congress that are not at the beck and call of the "haves and have mores" as President Bush calls his
These are the reasons you need to get involved. And there are many races that need you help. Kerry and Edwards need all the help they can get in Missouri. It is imperative that we set aside our rivalry with the Tigers to help get the Democratic Party the electoral votes they need to send Bush back to Crawford, Texas.
You can get involved in Kansas by working on Congressman Dennis Moore's campaign for re-election. He is facing Kris Kobach, a man who worked for John Ashcroft, and has declared that the Federal Marriage Amendment is the most important issue this year.
If you live west of Iowa Street, help Nancy Boyda unseat Jim Ryun, who has toed the party line 98 percent of the time, regardless of its impact on the state of Kansas. There are also a variety of local races that need volunteers, staff and your support.
Implore all of you to join the fight, get registered, get involved and help shape our future.

Feminist statistics skew issues
"...feminist theories should be political tools, strategies for overcoming oppression in specific concrete situations. The goal, then, of feminist theory, should be to develop strategic theories — not true theories...but strategic theories."
- Feminist scholar Kelly Oliver in Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy
FRESH ARRAH
ARRAH NIELSEN
opinion@hansan.com
Feminists are good at many things: hysterical exaggeration, parrotting bogus statistics and promoting ridiculous productions like The Vagina Monologues. However, facts are not their forte.
FRESH ARRAH
The claim that one in four college women will have been raped is a frequently repeated feminist factiid. It's chanted at "Womyn Take Back the Night" marches across the country, and a similar statistic appeared this summer in The Kansan. The "one in four" figure is based on a flawed, 16-year-old Ms. Magazine study by Mary Koss. While only 3 percent of Koss' respondents reported that they had been raped, she expanded the definition to include consensual, non-coerced sex. Seventy-three percent of her rape victims didn't actually consider themselves to have been raped, and 43 percent of the rape victims in her study went on to date their "rapist." Either Koss' respondents were remarkably compliant victims or they weren't raped. If women's groups are so eager to "listen to women" they should listen to women when they maintain that
FI
According to a 1997 Justice Department-funded survey of female college students, "1.7 percent of female college students per year are victims of rape." A companion study using differently phrased questions found a 0.16 percent rate of completed rape. The U.S. Department of Education's study of reports to campus police, which included both on and off campus offenses, found low rates also — 1,800 forcible sex offenses at 6,300 colleges. The KU Public Safety Office reports similarly low findings, with only one reported rape in 2003.
thev haven't been raped.
Because rape is often unreported, the previously-mentioned studies may underestimate the problem. Let's assume, as the July 28 Kansan claimed, that 75 percent of rape victims do not report their attacks to authorities. If you triple the 1,800 figure it would still work out to less than one rape per school.
If feminist's statistics on rape are exaggerated, their figures on anorexia are
even more so. In Revolution from Within, Gloria Steinem wrote "according to the American Anorexia and Bulimia Association about 150,000 females die of anorexia each year." Naomi Wolf repeated the same statistic in The Beauty Myth as did Joan Brumberg in Fasting Girls. According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, there were 42,643 fatal car accidents in 2003.
Clark University philosophy professor Christina Hoff Sommers called up the American Anorexia and Bulimia Association only to find out that the 150,000 figure referred to 150,000 sufferers, not fatalities. "We were misquoted" explained its president, Diane Mickley. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the annual number of deaths from anorexia is around 1,000. With such wildly inaccurate statistics, it's no wonder feminists are arguing that girls should take more math courses.
Feminists' efforts for victimized women are admirable, but that does not entitle them to float bogus statistics. I have two questions for my feminist sisters who would probably like to burn me alive if they're reading at this point: If the situation facing American women is so dire, why exaggerate facts? And if feminism is so liberating, why are they such an angry bunch?

KU Integrated Marketing
KU Community Update / Discuss
September 23, 2015
"We're saying the rights of adults are more important than the rights of children," she said.
Kevin Boatright, interim executive vice chancellor for University Relations, speaks in the Kansas Union about an integrated marketing strategy to advance the University's identity. The meeting was to discuss ways to come up with a new central identity for the University.
DEBATE: Ongoing issue
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Wood also said many proponents of gay marriage were interested in protecting marriage as a right everyone should be able to enjoy, but many of them, including Rauch, didn't think that right should extend to polygamists. Wood said this was a dangerous, slippery slope.
"On what legal grounds would we tell other groups they don't have those rights as well?" she asked.
Rauch called the gay marriage debate "the most important social policy debate of our time."
He cited studies that said married people were physically healthier, wealthier and happier than those who aren't, and suggested that society would benefit if gays had these rights as well.
"Society is strongest when everyone has a family," he said. "Marriage improves lives."
Rauch said his arguments were many of the same ones conservatives used to defend the institution of marriage.
"The problem with marriage is not that gay people want to join the club, it's that straight people are backing away from the challenge," he said.
Megan Storm, social issues coordinator for SUA, said she was pleased with the way the event turned out, though she would have liked to see more
people in attendance.
"I'm so happy with the content for the people who did come," she said.
Blake Huff, Lawrence senior,
said he went to the event
because he thought it was going
to be an ongoing issue.
"We're going to have to vote on this someday, so we're going to have to know both sides," he said.
Jimmy Balough, Overland Park freshman, said he thought that the crowd was skewed toward Rauch's perspective, but that Wood held her own.
"I thought both sides did a really good job," he said. "I guess Jonathan won the debate, but they both had really good ideas."

ENROLLEES: Stats show effort
David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, said the record enrollment numbers were a sign that the University was succeeding.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
"There's so many things going right at this University and students are recognizing that," Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said it was not clear from the enrollment numbers if any extra money would be brought in because the greatest increase came from resident students.
"We don't have the final tabs on the revenue, but there won't be much of a change," he said.
said she was excited about the record numbers and was proud of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships staff for its recruitment efforts. She said the numbers showed the reputation of the University was as strong as ever.
Lisa Pinamonti, director of admissions and scholarships,
"It truly shows the message is being relayed about the opportunities available to students at the University of Kansas," Pinamonti said.
Pinamonti credited the combination of the largest incoming freshman class since 1998 and the highest retention rate in University history were the main reasons enrollment reached record highs this year.
The University also saw a 4.2 percent increase in minority stud
dents enrollment from Fall 2003. Robert Page, director of multicultural affairs, said the University's definition of a minority student was an American-born ethnic minority. Page said minority students at the university included African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, Native Americans and Asian Americans. Members of the Student Senate were excited about the enrollment numbers.
Arthur Jones, Dallas, Texas, junior, and StudEx Committee chairman, said the numbers proved the University was doing something right.
"I think we should have a larger enrollment," Jones said. "We're doing our job with recruitment and retention."

DIVERSE: Retention rate high

exactly where we need to go," he said.
Shulenburger said the University needed to focus on minority enrollment because of the growing minority population among Kansas high school graduates. He said the Hispanic high school graduate population was growing significantly larger. The Kansas State Department projected that, of the 60,000 overall Kansas high school graduates, the number of Hispanic students would be close to 8,000 in the next 12 years, he said. Shulenburger said it will be important to focus on recruiting Hispanics because of their growing population in Kansas.
ing population in Kansas. Shulenburger emphasized that University officials were recruiting all minorities, but the Office of Admissions and Scholarships particularly focused on Hispanics, African Americans and Native Americans. Shulenburger said these groups were important because most other universities also focus on those groups. He said the goal of the University was to enable minority students to persist and be able to achieve academic success at the same
level as the majority student population. Shulenburger said it was important for all students to be on the same playing field, and he did not want low-income students to struggle more.
Page also credited the high number of minority enrollment to the HAWK Link program. Started in 1999, HAWK Link has maintained a retention rate between 82 and 84 percent over the past three to years, said Page.
She said the program had an open-door policy and a home away from home feeling.
"It helps make the University smaller for minority students," Bailey said.
HAWK Link is an academic-based retention program for first-year students located in the Office of Multicultural Affairs, 145 Strong Hall.
Students who went through
Though the program is open to all freshmen, it is primarily focused on students of color, said Rebecca Bailey, HAWK Link program assistant. She said the program involved teaching students how to use resources already available to them, like the Office of Financial Aid and the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, in order to help them succeed at the University.
the program last year said HAWK Link helped them adjust to University life, meet new people and start their academic path.
TaMisha Banks, Newton sophomore, said the academic workshops helped her adjust to enrollment and making the transition from her freshman to her sophomore year.
Rona Remmie, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said the only person she knew at the University when she came here was her cousin.
She said HAWK Link gave her the opportunity to meet new people, many whom she could see herself networking with in the future. She said achieving success was a guarantee for students who went through the program.
"I can't see anyone failing in the HAWK Link program," she said.
Overall, Page said more minority students were coming to and staying at the University because the campus atmosphere was welcoming and minority students felt more comfortable than onpressed.
"Students are willing to explore their diversity at KU," Page said.

regions automatically reach the NCAA Championships, and the next 13 teams from any region that have accumulated the most at-large points during the season also qualify.
Clark said it was important that the Jayhawks finish ahead of as many schools as possible tomorrow, because a victory over any team was a potential atlarge point.
The men's 8-kilometer race will start at 11:20 a.m. followed by the women's 6-kilometer race at 12:10 p.m. Results will be posted online at www.gopher-sports.com.
Iowa, senior and winner of the Bob Timmons Invitational on Sept. 4, will also return after not completing last week.
"My hope is that after running in this meet and prenationals, they'll be a much better team when we get to conference and regionals," he said.
Megan Manthe, the Jayhawks top runner, will compete after sitting out the Wildcat Invitational.
The women's team came in fourth out of the eight teams at the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on Sept. 11.
Clark said the women's team was looking to improve tomorrow.

Kansas has defensive edge against Texas Tech
n to ve,"

BY RYAN COLAIAMNI AND JONATHAN KEALING sports@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITHERS
Overall
Tomorrow's game features Kansas and Texas Tech teams that are both 2-1. The Red Raiders scored 70 points last weekend against Texas Christian. Texas Tech quarterback Sonny Cumbie has passed for more than 1,300 yards in just three games and leads the nation in passing yards.
The question is whether the Jayhawk secondary will be able to perform against Texas Tech's tall receivers and stellar offense. Kansas' defense needs to continue what it has been doing this season and get pressure on the quarterback. If the pass rush can rattle Cumbie, the Red Raiders may get out of their offensive rhythm. Kansas needs to be careful not to try and match Texas Tech's offense, and the Kansas defense must realize that no lead is safe as the Red Raiders scored 56 unanswered points after being down 21-0 to Texas Christian last weekend. Look for the improved Jayhawk defense to continue to impress this week and for the 'Hawks move to 3-1.
Wide Receiver
Texas Tech's offensive system is a wide receiver's dream. The Red Raiders pass on nearly every play, and that allows the receivers to put up impressive numbers. This season, the receivers are led by sophomore Jarrett Hicks. The 6-foot-4 Hicks is a large target on the field and has racked up more

than 500 receiving yards receiving and three touchdowns, but he isn't Cumbie's only target. Cumble distributes the ball well to all of his receivers and has six wide outs with more than 10 receptions this year. Kansas has just three. For the Jayhawks, senior Brandon Rideau had an excellent second half against Northwestern, catching two touchdowns. Rideau is Kansas' leading receiver, but he is averaging only about 50 yards per game.
Edge: Texas Tech
Defensive Line
Kansas has been successful in pressuring the quarterback so far this season, and if it wants to shut
down Texas Tech's high-powered offense, it needs to do the same this week. Junior Brandon Perkins and senior Greg Tyree lead the way with two sacks each, and the defense has nine on the season. Texas Tech's offense has allowed six so far. The Red Raiders' defensive line has just three sacks on the season.
Special Teams
Combine the lack of quarterback pressure and that Texas Tech's defense has allowed more than 310 yards per game and the nod goes to Kansas.
Texas Tech punt returner freshman Danny Amendola has had a great season so far, averaging more than 23 yards per return, while Kansas sophomore Charles Gordon is averaging just more than 8 yards per return. Senior Johnny Beck will no longer have field goal duties for the Jayhawks, as he lost the job to freshman Scott Webb after missing two field goals last week. Webb may not have the leg that Beck offered, but he is more accurate. The Red Raiders are 1-4 in field goal oppor-
tuni-
ties on the season and have missed one extra point. Texas Tech's lone field goal was for 21 yards. The Jayhawks, on the other hand, are 3-7 on the season in field goals with a long of 51 yards, but with Webb as the starter, look for improved kicking accuracy.
Edge: Kansas
Secondary
This week will be a huge test for the Jayhawk secondary as it faces arguably the best offense in the nation. The 'Hawks have been successful in pass defense this season, allowing just more than 172
yards passing per game. The sec-
ondary also has

passing offenses to just more than 166 yards per game.
Edge: Kansas
Quarterback
Taking the snaps for Texas Tech's Red Raiders is senior quarterback Sonny Cumble. Cumbie has completed 114 of his passes and racked up 1,360 yards in just three games. Barmann has been solid, but he's up against another experienced veteran.
Sophomore passer Adam Barmann has proven he is more than capable of leading the Kansas passing attack.
Edge: Texas Tech
Running Back
Sophomore John Randle and junior Clark Green to form a formidable duo of running backs for the Jayhawks. However, Texas Tech has next to no running game at all, Junior Taurean Henderson leads the Red Raiders in carries per game and rushing yards.
Edge: Kansas
Offensive Line
One of Kansas' strengths going into the season was supposed to be a veteran offensive line. Senior offensive tackle Tony Coker is still afflicted with an injury, and last week, the rest of the line was just as culpable as Green and Randle in the lack of a Jahwack running game. The line has done a good job of pass protection. Tech's offensive line is an experienced unit. The five linemen have a combined 87 starts, an average of 17.5 starts per player. With Kansas' struggles last week, the edge here goes to the visitors.
Linebackers
Edge: Texas Tech
Kansas' strength all season has been its linebackers. Using a fourman rotation over three positions has allowed Mangino to keep fresh legs on the field and to build up excitement at the linebacker position.
This week, linebackers will be expected to cover the pass more, as well as to back up the defensive line with the blitz. Texas Tech's linebackers are ranked two, three and four in total tackles on their team with 22, 17 and 16 tackles each. This should be a battle, but Kansas' linebackers are one of the most talented parts of the team with junior Nick Reid leading the Big 12 Conference with 29 tackles
Edge: Kansas
Coaches
This is one of the few times this season that you will see two coaches who have never played football in college take each other on.
Neither Texas Tech's Mike Leech nor Kansas' Mark Mangino played collegiate football; only five Division I coaches can say that. Leech and Mangino have both been offensive coordinators for Oklahoma's Bob Stoops.
Stoops is in his fifth year with Texas Tech and owns a 33-22 overall record. Mangino, in his third season with Kansas, has just a 10-18 mark.
Mangino's moving in the right direction, but the nod this week has to go to his more experienced counterpart.
Easy on the upsets; higher-ranked teams favored to win
Edited by Neil Mulka
Edge: Texas Tech
Week four of Kick the Kansan could be a turning point in the competition. After the beating I took last week, I'm determined for this week to be better.
In case you didn't notice — and I know some of you did because you told me — the Kick the Kansan form this week had Kentucky against Kentucky at Kentucky. To clarify, Kentucky is playing at Florida. Whichever Kentucky you chose, everyone will receive credit for that game.
Here are the best of the best for this week in college football.
Texas Tech at Kansas
for a bajillion yards. Seventy points against TEXAS CHRISTIAN? Ouch. Still, I'm going with Kansas, because if the team does not win, it will be in deep you-know-what.
Pick: Kansas
Coach Mark Mangino and his team might not want to admit it, but the Jayhawks are at a critical point in the season. The team must win if it wants to make a bowl trip this December. Kansas' schedule gets no easier. With Tech's offensive scheme, even my grandma could throw
iowa at No.18 Michigan
KICK THE KANSAN
Pick: Michigan
Rice at No. 5 Texas
Iowa embarrassed me last week, so the team is not my pick this week.
Rice is something I like to eat with my Chinese food. It is not a football program that will defeat Texas.
Pick: Texas
Northwestern at No. 19 Minnesota
KICK THE KANSAN
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
Northwestern defeated Kansas last week and this week faces Minnesota, a team that scored 63 points against Toledo, just like Kansas did. Northwestern, successful a few
years ago, has not maintained the quality recently.
Pick: Minnesota
Boston College at Wake Forest
Wake Forest is far better at basketball than it is football. The Demon Deacons have won two games this season.
Boston College is preparing to flee the Big East and join Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Boston College has the opportunity to win the Big East title.
Pick: Boston College
No. 1 Southern California at Stanford
top-ranked team in the country plays an unranked opponent? I say USC is going to roll over Stanford.
Pick: USC
What do you say when the
North Carolina State at Virginia Tech
Each team has lost one game: Virginia Tech to No. 1 Southern California and N.C.State to No. 7 Ohio State. Virginia Tech should be able to beat N.C.State.
Pick: Virginia Tech
Alabama at Arkansas
'Bama has had three consecutive convincing victories and has proven that its program is on the up-and-up.
Arkansas has a 2-1 record, but the best team Arkansas has played is Texas, and that matchup resulted in a loss. Arkansas isn't going to be able to compete with a resurgent Alabama team.
This game will be no preview of a national championship, but it should result in a Baylor victory.
Pick: Alabama
North Texas at Baylor
Ah, Baylor — the butt of so many Big 12 jokes. This weekend. 0-5 North Texas comes to town.
Pick: Baylor
Kentucky at No. 16 Florida
both teams are 1-1,but Kentucky just does not have the talent to compete with a team like Florida.
Pick: Florida
Syracuse at No.12 Virginia
Undefeated Virginia has torn apart every opponent that it has faced. Last weekend the team scored 51 points against a scoreless Akron.
Syracuse is 2-1, however its one loss was a big one: Syracuse went to Purdue and left with a 51-0 smacking.
Pick: Virginia
I'm picking the home team and better team overall.
Pick: UNLV
Case Western Reserve and Wooster are both fairly wellknown private institutes of higher learning. Unfortunately, they are not exactly known for their gridiron abilities. Wooster is ranked No. 19 by the Division-III coaches, and therefore gets my pick.
Pick: Wooster
Case Western Reserve at Wooster
UNLV has a 0-3 record with losses to pretty stiff competition. Utah State, on the other hand is an imposing 1-2 with a victory over the always-difficult Idaho Potatoes. (OK, they're the Vandals, but you get the idea)

Tennis coach wants intensity from freshmen for Hurricane Invitational

The Jayhawks are gearing up for the 12th Annual Hurricane Invitational. hosted by Tulsa.
Second-year coach Amy Hall-Holt said the team was ready to get started.
"With us not traveling last weekend is not going to effect us at all," Hall-Holt said. "The girls are very excited about playing this weekend and are doing a good job preparing for Tulsa."
Schools competing in the women's field are Illinois State, Kansas, Southwest Missouri State, Texas-Arlington, Tulsa and Wichita State.

"As of right now, we are still evaluating the girls," Hall-Holt said. "We will have a much better feel of line-ups and doubles teams after the weekend."
Hall-Holt, after having three seniors last season, wanted the new players to pick up the intensity, especially with the addition of freshman Lauren Hommell.
"I have been very impressed with Lauren's work ethic and dedication to herself as well as to the team," Hall-Holt said. "We are looking to see some great results out of her this weekend."
Lacking seniors, Hall-Holt expects junior Christine Skoda to be a team leader for Kansas.

In addition to the efforts by the players, assistant coach Frank Polito has served as an instrumental figure in the Jayhawks' resurgence.
"The girls have responded great to Polito," Hall-Holt said. "After only four weeks of practice, the girls see that he is very knowledgeable and very passionate about the game. They have a lot of confidence in him."
Hall-Holt said the keys for Kansas to have success this weekend were confidence and being prepared both mentally and physically.

The Kansas women's soccer team kicked off the season with an 8-1 record and a No. 8 ranking. Now, the team will take on the challenge of the Big 12 Conference beginning today with Nebraska.
Nebraska comes into today's game at 5 p.m. at SuperTarget Field, adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, with a 6-3 record after starting the season ranked in the top 25.

The game will match one of the Big 12's best goalies, Kansas senior goalie Meghan Miller, against one of the conference's best forwards, Nebraska sophomore Brittany Timko, who has been named conference offensive player of the week twice.
Miller leads the Big 12 in every statistical category for a goalkeeper: goals against average with 0.22, 44 saves, a 0.957 save percentage, and seven shutouts.
Timko enters the game as the Big 12 leader in points with 25, goals with eight and assists with nine.
Nebraska has outscored its opponents 21-7 this season.

Offense isn't the team's only strength. Sophomore goalie Katie Wright has posted a 5-3 record with a .811 save percentage.
Nebraska holds an 8-1-1 advantage over Kansas in the all-time series. The Jayhawks won last year's meeting 1-0 in Lincoln, Neb.
This weekend features another conference match-up for Kansas. The team will face Colorado, the defending Big 12 champion, on Sunday.

Tomorrow morning, in the land of Paul Bunyan, the Kansas cross country teams will face a test of massive proportions at the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Minn.
The men's squad will line up against 25 of the top teams in the nation, including Minnesota and Iowa, the only teams ranked ahead of Kansas in the Midwest region by the United States Cross Country Coaches Association.
The women's side will compete against 31 Division 1 teams.
"We might be good, but we don't know
what is cooking out there," said Benson Chesang, Ravine, Kenya, sophomore.
In past seasons, this has been an off week for the Jayhawks.
But this year assistant coach Doug Clark said the men's team was strong enough that it could benefit from the extra opportunity to earn at-large points, which it may need to qualify for the NCAA Championships, a feat not accomplished by Kansas since 1994.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
PAUL BRAND

Age can add edge, help an athlete's performance
VOL
Every day, some professor gives me a thought-provoking lesson.
Yesterday's lesson was simple:
Sports can be ageless.
Sports can be agile. As I was playing basketball at the Student Fitness Recreation Center, the opposing team was led by a professor point guard. This man, probably 15 years my senior, deftly ran his team's offense, made smart passes, took gutsy shots and nearly brought home a victory for his squad.
In this performance, it was proven that age can work to a player's advantage by giving the player the uncalculated edge of experience.
Today's sporting world holds plenty of age-defying success stories.
Former Kansas City Athletics pitcher Satchel Paige pitched in the Major Leagues until he was 59. In his final game, he pitched three shutout innings.
of age-defying success. At age 40, Barry Bonds was the most feared hitter in baseball and was in his prime. Bonds has shown no signs of slowing down and recently hit his 700th home run. At age 42, he is a lock to be the all-time home run king
While stories of old-timers can have happy endings, comebacks and unnecessary perseverance of players can often forever tarnish a former star's image.
The perfect present-day example is Deion Sanders.
"Neon Deion" has fooled himself and the Baltimore Ravens into thinking, that after coming off a stint as a football commentator, he would be the same cornerback as when he left football.
It turns out Deion was right. He has not changed since he left the NFL. He is still the same cocky egomaniac who now wears his age, 37, as his jersey number and last week earned an excessive celebration penalty for removing his helmet following a 23-yard punt return. All Sanders has earned is a hamstring injury and one more critic.
Outside of Deion, there are countless other athletes who envisioned a triumphant return, but instead found a sport they were no longer fit to handle.
Mike Tyson, 38, who was once the best heavyweight boxer in the world, lost in his latest comeback attempt to a fighter who was a 9-1 underdog.
Sometimes time is not the only factor in determining when athletes give up their dream. Reality should also be taken into account. Age in sports is not about years, but about how far removed you are from your prime and your skill in relation to the competition.
In one of the most mystifying decisions in sports history, Michael Jordan chose to return to baseball - a sport he had not played since high school. His dreams vanished as the 200 hitter embarrassed himself playing for the minor league Birmingham Barons.
On the Kansas front, many have made the argument that former Jayhawk Eric Chenowith should have given up basketball after his first season. He made virtually no progress for his remaining three years and perhaps the many detractors would have preferred it if he had stayed on tour as a groupie with Dave Matthews indefinitely.
Sports are all about timing.
Some know when to make the graceful exit; others hang around like a cloud of smoke in a 2003 Lawrence bar.
As long as a player still has the desire and, most importantly, the talent to compete, he should do so.
When looking for a piece of wisdom on this subject, one should look no further than Satchel Paige, the 59-year-old pitcher, who rarely answered questions about his age: "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

Details of Perkins contract disclosed
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins and Chancellor Robert Hemenway released the details of Perkins' contract on Friday afternoon. Perkins could make as much as $545,000 yearly, but no less than $520,000. He will also earn an additional $1.3 million if he stays until June 2009.
The Lawrence Journal-World filed a lawsuit against the University of Kansas in January 2004 after it refused to disclose the details of Perkins' contract.

The University held that the Kansas Open Records Act protects those documents from the public.

He earns a yearly base salary of $420,000 and an additional $100,000 in media payments. The Chancellor can also reward Perkins with a $25,000 bonus if he thinks the athletic department is successful.
Some of the events include congressional candidates discussing issues on Wescoe Beach, a presidential debate watch and even a "Wear your favorite political slogan" day.
If Perkins stays at the University until June 30, 2009, he will receive a payment of $1.3 million. The payment is funded by the KUAC.

Theatre faces declining audience
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Theatre for Young People is celebrating its 50th anniversary, but audience numbers are lacking for one of the Theatre's upcoming shows, Still Life With Iris.
Jeanne Klein, director of KU Theatre for Young People, said the new show, Still Life With Iris, targeted children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
Klein said 450 children were scheduled to attend the performances. She said a total of
1,379 children from Lawrence and surrounding schools attended Where To, Turelu, the last show the Theatre did that targeted the same age group.
Really Rosei, which targeted first to fourth grades, had a total audience of 2,214 children. Both the Lawrence School District and rural schools are included in the total number of students.
Playwright inspired by small town life
Klein said she thought one cause for the plummeting numbers of children was cuts in school funding.

Still was born in Emporia, and grew up in Pomona, two primarily agricultural towns in Kansas.
"I was so hungry to see myself and to give dignity to a way of life that's rapidly disappearing," he said.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
The University of Kansas Theatre for Young People will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this week. Nathaniel S. Eek, former director of the University's Experimental Theatre, will speak on the "Origins of KU Theatre for Young People" on 7 p.m. Friday before the 8 p.m. performance of Amber Waves. James Still, author of Amber Waves, will speak on "Why Theatre for Young People Matters to KU" on 7 p.m. Saturday. All performances and presentations will be in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Children's theatre at the University began in 1954 with Rumpelstifskin performed by the University Players, a student group, in March. Huckleberry Finn followed in July for the celebration of Lawrence's Centennial.
Nathaniel Eek and Sally Six Hersh, founder and former Theatre for Young People, proposed to Allen Crafton, chairman for speech and drama department, that children's theatre and creative drama become a part of the speech and drama degree program.
Land of the Dragon, which ran in 1955, was the first department-sponsored production of the KU Theatre for Young People.

One production targets grades one through three and the other targets four through six. In addition to two productions, the theatre offers post-performance workshops to schools and after-school drama classes to elementary students.

Keeping your stuff organized, even when you're not
the wish list
By Misty Huber, Jayplay reporter
You've finally crammed all of your and your roommate's stuff into your dorm or apartment. Everything feels set until you get your first assignment. With no other space to do your work, you push your pillows onto the floor and throw your books, pens and paper onto your bed. Suddenly your roommate and three of her new, loud friends come in discussing the heinous teacher from their literature class, and you can pretty much forget about any peace and quiet.
and quiet. Well, you can either choose to spend next semester taking all of the same classes or create your own study area.
SHARING SMALL SPACES
Students have special challenges because of space restrictions and roommates. Tammy Jo Schoppet, author of Decorating Your Rental Space: A Do-It-Yourself Guide for Apartment-Home-Studio-Dorm and founder of Rental Decorating Digest, suggests designating areas for the five S's: sitting, studying, socializing, sleeping and snacking.
The ideal way to limit distractions is to set up your study space in your bedroom, Schoppet says. But if you live in a dorm or have a small room, that's just not possible. If you are sharing a study space in a room that's also used for entertaining, section off the area with dividers and keep a pair of headphones to drown out background noise. Better yet, agree with roommates on times you can do your homework without interruptions, such as when the other is in class.
is in class.
To keep your focus on studying, set your study area apart from the rest of your living space. "Little things can define and separate the space for you psychologically," says Paige Gilchrist, author of Decorating Your First Apartment. Gilchrist
suggests using separate rugs and lighting, using shelves as dividers, or painting the wall a different color.
Of course room divider screens and shelving can be expensive and take up a lot of space. Lindsay Schuhler, Olathe junior and Pier 1 Imports, 3211 Iowa, sales associate, suggests attaching a roll-up window blind to your ceiling to create a private studying area. When you're not studying and want more space, you can pull the blinds up.
WHAT TO BUY
If you're not lucky enough to already to have your own desk and chair, have no fear, there are good deals in Lawrence. Office Depot, 2525 Iowa, has the most inexpensive desk and chair combos for $39.95. It has room for all of your computer items, a place to write, and a small drawer for study accessories. If you just need separates, head to Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa. Computer carts start at$ 29.63 and task chairs at $17.62. Don't be tempted to save money by buying a stool. Your back will hate you after a three-hour cram session.
after a three-hour屯店 checkout Schoppet suggests keeping everything you need for homework within reach of your study area, and keeping everything organized in its own place. Wal-Mart offers inexpensive office storage containers, such as pencil holders and drawer caddies, but Pier One wins out for style and selection. Plus, Pier One offers students a 15 percent discount on non-sale items until Sept. 22.
When planning storage for accessories, think vertical. Use stackable trays and wall file holders. Hang baskets from the ceiling to where you can reach them sitting down.

DAMAGE CONTROL Late for an Interview
Despite leaving early and pre-planning your route, you are about to be law for an interview. Before running over pedestrians or just slinking back home in failure, do the honorable thing: call. Listening your interviewer know your situation and your estimated ETA is the most professional way to go. Be calm and make sure to emphasize that you are letting him or her know as soon as you realized you would be late. Calling is always better than chancing it, even by a few minutes.

NOT ANOTHER MORNING-AFTER PILL
What's your
Planning in advance to get drunk may have its benefits
By Samia Khan, Jayplaywriter
Too many tequila shots and you barely know how to use your thumbs anymore. Soon you're in the fetal position on the bathroom floor, crying like a baby and wrapping yourself in toilet paper as if you could recreate a womb.
If only there was a new breakthrough morning-after hangover remedy. Well too bad. It's too late to do anything now.
But if you're the type to plan in advance for an evening of lying face-down in your own urine and vomit, then perhaps there is help.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Chaser caplets are the new hangover remedy. They are marketed as a way to prevent more than a dozen hangover symptoms, including headache, fatigue and dry mouth.
News of Chaser caplets is spreading, especially among college students. Although Chaser is available at most grocery and drug stores, walk in and ask the employees where it is, and you'll find at least half won't know. Explain what it is, and they'll look at you like you've already been drinking.
The company's promise of "freedom from hangovers" costs about three dollars for four caplets or seven dollars for ten caplets. If you take the caplets correctly, you'll ingest two with your first drink and two more for every five drinks, every two to three hours, but not exceeding eight caplets. You could drop up to six dollars to keep from feeling like stir-fried poop the next morning.
The word on the street
The science behind Chaser involves the toxins in alcohol. On Chaser's Web site, www.doublechaser.com/best.htm, the manufacturer says the harmful elements, called congeners, "make up the flavor, aroma and color of alcoholic beverages." When the immune system releases a surge of chemicals to fight off the congeners, the drinker feels the effects of a hangover. Chaser works to soak the harmful congeners before they can do their damage.
The active ingredients listed on the back of a Chaser package are calcium carbonate and vegetable carbon. Sound like drinking a soda and eating a carrot? It's relatively as harmless. Calcium carbonate is the ingredient found in many antacids and vegetable carbon is synonymous to charcoal.
Tom Wilcox, head pharmacist at Round Corner Drug Co., 801 Massachusetts Street, says that calcium carbonate is the
same as taking a Tums for indigestion. Charcoal—or vegetable carbon—is also sold at drug stores in pill and powder form. He says it is usually administered for poison control.
According to Chaser's Web site, a survey shows that 3.2 drinks cause "some type of illness," and "for 10 percent of people, all it takes is one or two drinks." But for many college students, 3.2 drinks is a quiet afternoon on the porch with a few friends, or breakfast. Numbers like 10 percent and fewer than three drinks are hardly reason to spend three to seven extra dollars.
Although Chaser is clinically proven to help with hangovers, not everyone is convinced. Wilcox says several other techniques, such as eating a full meal, work the same way in delaying alcohol absorption.
Will Lamborn, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior used Chaser and agrees that the caplets were no miracle. "I might as well
eat a meal or wake up in the middle of the night and stumble for a glass of water," Lamborn says.
In order to properly use Chaser, you would have to keep track of exactly how many drinks you've had. And for many, keeping track of numbers on a night of heavy drinking is a lesson in futility.
On her $21^{\mathrm{st}}$ birthday, Hailey Metzger took the first and second dose, but lost track as the night progressed. She thinks she may have taken one more, but was too wasted to remember. The Burlington senior and Kansan staffer says even taking the Chaser incorrectly helped ease her hangover symptoms.
When Metzger's roommate, Nick Ray, Burlington senior, took Chaser, he kept track of his drinks by tallying them on his arm with a marker. "I figure if I'm going to make the effort to take these pills, I'm going to do it the right way," Ray says. After nine drinks, he was up the next morning cleaning his house. Ray says he'd take Chaser again if he knew he was in for a marathon night of drinking.
Lamborn, who still felt groggy the morning after mixing shots, beer and cheap wine, says Chaser is definitely not a cure-all for a night of heavy drinking. He wonders if some of the benefits he felt were just a placebo effect.
Perhaps there are more intangibles in hangover severity than most drinkers calculate. Lindsay Hawkinson, Lenexa senior, only took the first dose of Chaser with her five drinks. Not only did she not have a hangover, but she described herself as chipper the next morning.
But after a pause, she adds, "Then again, it might have just been because my loan check came in."
What's your hangover remedy?
"I drink water before I go to bed, and it seems to do the trick for me." Andrew Winkelbauer, Leavenworth junior in sports fitness and management
"A kid a floor below me says cantaloupe or watermelon because it goes down easy, and there's lots of water in it. And no milk!"
Allison Kapsner, Blaine, Minn., freshman in architecture
"If I did get drunk, I would try the crazy remedy of drinking whatever I drank the night before."
Cory Carter, Wichita junior in human biology and Spanish
"I would just say lots and lots of water by my bed so when I wake up I can rollover and have my water. And grape juice if I feel really bad." Nathan Cooper, Boston, Mass., junior in psychology

By Jessi Crowder and Chris Tackett
[No, we are the sex authority, but please question us.]
Q
Why do you think you're smart enough to give me advice?
-Joe, Junior
a
Jessi: I'm in Mensa.
Chris: I'm not.
Q
I've been dating my boyfriend for over a year now, and we feel our relationship has become more about sex and less about the romance. How do we reinvent the romance?
-Kristin, Junior
a
Jessi: I'd be thankful your relationship has "lasted" so long in the bedroom, but naturally, over time, romance dissipates, and that's ok as long as both partners are willing to work to restore that lost spark. Remember that it is not his full responsibility to keep you tingly; it's a joint effort. Make romance a priority and reintroduce that element of surprise with your own personal touch. Some examples include leaving notes in unexpected places, or kidnapping your love for a date night. Be creative!
**Chris:** I bet your boyfriend is *really* upset with all that unnecessary sex y'all have been having. How can he put up with all that sex? I can't believe he hasn't dumped you for a girl that won't have sex with him. But seriously, you need to understand that he probably doesn't see this as a problem. Guys don't need romance to get off, like some girls do. Just start doing what Jessi said and he'll follow suit.
Q
I walked in on my younger sister masturbating. Things have gotten weird. How can I lose the weirdness?
-Claire, freshman
a
Jessi: Any weirdness is caused by both of you. Because you're concerned with getting your relationship back, I'd say you've shared a fairly meaningful relationship until recently. Don't be the other half of the weirdness and talk to her like old times. Let her know privately that whatever happened was no big deal. It's either that or letting her "accidentally" walk in on you touching yourself to even the score.
**Chris:** Masturbating? Gross! I would just cut off all contact with your sister and hope to never see her again! And burn all the pictures of her too. What was she thinking? Doesn't she know masturbating makes God kill kittens and will make her go blind? What a jerkstore.

After concluding his interview with director Steven Spielberg, John Tibbetts impulsively held out his hands. The year was 1985, and the unlikely pair was discussing Spielberg's film The Color Purple. During the interview, the talk turned to the childhood game patty-cake as a central motif from the film. As the interview wound down, Tibbetts, enamored by Spielberg's charisma and confidence, couldn't resist — he held out his hands hopefully. In return he received a game of patty-cake from the Oscar-winning director. It is just one of many stories Tibbetts has collected over his years as a film academic.

Tibbetts, professor of film at the University of Kansas, is using these memories to showcase his artistic talent. A collection of his portraits is on display on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union and will be through Sept. 5.

the famous musician was wearing nothing but a towel. He followed Tony Bennett into his dressing room during a photo session when the singer wasn't wearing anything. Sissy Spaceck took Tibbetts' microphone during an interview, switched the tables, and started interviewing him. And to this day, his interview with Gary Busey still leaves Tibbetts wondering what the actor was talking about. Tibbetts drew from all of these experiences to create the portraits currently on display in the Union.
The medium for Tibbetts' portraits is a technique called gouache, a watercolor technique that uses both wash and opaque applications. His portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was done during the press for Conan the Barbarian, uses the gouache technique. Tibbetts says he used Sepia tints and earth tones to capture the roughness of Schwarzenegger's character.

Chuck Berg, professor of film and friend of Tibbetts, says Tibbetts' portraits suck viewers in, inviting them to contemplate the person pictured and themselves. "John's portraits capture something of the animus of his famous subjects that allows us to look deep into each subject's soul, inviting us to speculate on the nature of that individual as well as human kind at large."

It's easy to understand why Tibbetts chooses to paint famous faces after
The time it takes to paint these portraits varies with the medium Tibbetts decides to use and with the circumstances surrounding the painting. He says that on-the-spot portraits can take as little as 15 minutes, whereas images executed in advance can take several weeks to create.

Satellite radio gains popularity with students.

Ever since that fateful day in January when Janet Jackson unveiled herself in front of millions, it seems the popularity of the Federal Communications Commission has, believe it or not, declined even more. To the common University of Kansas student, "FCC" almost directly translates to "censorship."

It addition to allowing disc jockeys to say dirty words on the air, satellite radio offers several things that FM and AM radio can't. For starters, it offers more channels, covering nearly every genre of music for every possible taste, including comedy, news, entertainment and children's channels. Another feature is less commercials, and CD-quality reception all over the United States.

St.,does not think satellite radio is a threat to the station.
"radio is a threat to the station "
("Satellite radio") is a novelty thing right
now, where people are constantly channel surfing, and it sometimes can be overwhelming with so much to choose from," Aida says. "With our station, you know what you are going to get."
Aida compares the relationship between satellite radio and FM/AM radio to the relationship between satellite television to cable television. She says satellite radio is a very impersonal medium that doesn't focus on what's happening in one's hometown. People in Lawrence don't care about California. XM radio, for example, only broadcasts from three locations in the United States, which makes it impossible for its stations to be personal at all. It doesn't seem to matter, because the new subscribers keep on coming. Still, Aida is not worried. She feels that unless satellite radio becomes narrower in its reach, stations like KLZR would not be competing with it. Also, Aida brings up an important point: "Our station is free."
important point: Our statistics University students like Justin Douglas, Augusta senior, can't live without satellite radio. He has had satellite radio in his car for over a year now, and says it's especially nice for long trips. "You don't have to every worry about losing reception," says Douglas, "especially when you're out driving in the middle of nowhere." The only places Douglas says he doesn't get reception are in tunnels or parking garages.
parking garages.
Douglas also likes the fact that he always knows the name and artist of each song that is on air, thanks to the display screen. He loves how most of the satellite radio stations have little to no commercials.
Corporate giant Clear Channel has taken measures to cut back commercial time.Starting Jan.1, 2005, Clear Channel will significantly reduce commercial and promotional interruption on all its FM stations — apparently 20 minutes an hour was too much. This action may be a sign that Clear Channel knows it will be forced to compete with satellite radio.

When I think martini, I think style, class...James Bond or a big cigar. But where'd the cocktail come from? The true origin of the martini isn't crystal clear, although legend has it that the drink was invented in San Francisco during the gold rush. Other martini purists tell this story; In 1870, a miner stopped for a drink in a small California town named Martinez. He gave the bartender a small bag of gold in exchange for some liquor. For this, the bartender gave him an extra bonus: his own special recipe, complete with an olive, that he coined the Martinez. Years passed and the original martinj, four parts vodka (or gin) to one part vermouth, became a status symbol for
Justin and extra radio.
martini, four port vodafone cool drinkers everywhere, like Frank Sinatra. But the martini and cigar trend faded out by the '70s.
History always repeats itself. Now, a new wave of "designer martini" has crept up everywhere, taking advantage of modern ingredients unheard of in the drink's glory days. While few of these updated versions actually follow the original martini recipe, the name was inherited as a tribute to the classy lifestyle of the past. In reality, the only thing really "martini" about the modernized cocktail is the glass it's served in. Try a chocolate martini at the Bella Lounge, 925 Iowa St. It's like drinking spiked chocolate milk - which can be dangerous (but oh so delicious) if you have a sweet tooth. Or, If you'd rather mix up your own, try this recipe:

My head hurts. Twenty-five cent draws of Natural Light and a total meat market. I got checked out standing at the bar, sitting on the windowsill, heading to the bathroom, and I am not really cute. I feel for those little blonde beauties that get eye-stripped at every moment. The place was packed with beautiful people—the girls in skirts and heels and guys in polos and khaki shorts. Overall, the crowd consisted of younger bar-goers, but that didn't deter the Heineken holding, 60 year-old gentleman wearing a tropical shirt and straw hat from coming up to me and telling me a story so slurred it forced me to smile and nod. The best part about Harpo's, other than cheap beer on Tuesdays and the gigantic deer head positioned above the bar, is that the women's restroom line actually went faster than the men's. It was so long that some guy yelled from the top of the stairs, "Why don't you all start doubling up. Just don't look at your homeboy's dick and we'll all be cool."

LIVING WITH STRANGERS
Tips for surviving life with someone you don’t know
by Brian Wacker, Jayplaywriter
Tip #53: Choking your roomie won’t get your leftover Applebee’s back.
Tip #56: Nothing says “I love you, roomie” more than a good French braid.
contact
Tip #53: Choking your roomie won't over Applebee's back.
t
You're coming home from a sweet house party having just met a possible mate who just so happens to live two floors above you in the same dorm. When you get back home, you invite him to your room to
you invite him to you watch a movie (and possibly some early-morning smooching). But as you near your room, you see the lights turned off and the debilitating realization is upon you. Your new roommate is asleep.
asleep.
You could try to sneak in, turn the volume down low and hope she doesn't wake up. You could tell the guy you'll just talk to him tomorrow.
a new key guidance TIP #1. Make a plan. Set up a meeting. Put down the Biology book and minimize the Instant Messenger for 15 minutes and make a game-plan for the year that you can both live with. The Family Education Network of America Web site suggests meeting somewhere outside of your room. Next, split up the expenses and decide what stuff you are going to share and what is off-limits. Because there is nothing worse than stepping into the shower to find someone else's pubic hair stuck to your bar of soap.
At some point, whether you are an anxious, pimplely freshman moving into the dorms or a chip-on-your-shoulder grad student splitting an apartment lease with a stranger, choices like these will weigh on you heavier than Roseanne Barr on a carb binge.
Well, worry no longer. My former roommate (once a stranger to me) Cory Carter, Wichita senior and now-McColum resident advisor, and I have devised a few key guidelines.
TIP #2. Make a "Visitor's Policy". Whoever came up with the axiom, "Three's a crowd" must have lived in McCollum with a roommate that had a girlfriend. You don't want to compete with the sounds of your roomie and her boy-toy necking behind her shack sheet while you study. So set some rules and follow them. The FEN Web site says being sensitive to your roomie's feelings on the "sleepover issue" is also important. Carter says the best policy you can follow is give-and-take, where you establish when it is and isn't OK to have visitors and then compromise when the unexpected comes up.
TIP #3. Speak up. It doesn't matter if you're a shy person; you have to stand up for yourself. When something goes awry, you need to muster the testicular (or ovarian) fortitude to be strong and communicate. Liz Nartowicz, Lawrence junior, lucked out with her roommate freshman year. However, her friends weren't so fortunate. "The biggest problem I noticed was the lack of communication between roommates. Instead of complaining to each other about the problems they had, they would complain to me." This includes not letting yourself get pushed around. If you're trying to get some much-needed "alone time" with a girl, and your roommate pops in the same Fast and the Furious DVD he's seen 50 times, tell him what's up.
p.
TIP #4. Have Fun. It doesn't matter
THE MORE YAKNOW
1. Get in touch with your roommate before school starts, if you don't already know him or her, and decide who should bring what. Make an effort to accommodate your roommate's needs.
2. Remember that looks can be deceiving, so avoid making snap decisions the first time you see your roommate.

-ehow.com
if you like your roommate or not, part of the reason you're at college is to have fun. Don't forget that. Try your best to share that fun with your roomie. You aren't going to be best buddies right away, as eHow.com reminds you. (See sidebar,' above.) Friendships don't happen instantly. Make the effort that it takes to enjoy life with your roomie. Go out on the weekends together. Watch a movie together. Play jokes on each other. Nothing says, 'I enjoy having you as my roommate' more than flushing the toilet while your roommate is taking a shower or hiding a week-old carton of milk next to the radiator in his bedroom.

done if you're sure your roommate will get the joke. Otherwise, he may take it more as an "I hate your guts and I can't wait for this freakin' lease to end" gesture. And this is the most important rule of all. Cory and I had a great freshman year because we had a great time together. It didn't matter that he obsessively cleaned the room while I discarded empty Fritos bags and paper plates between the couch cushions. What mattered most was we understood each other and learned to enjoy ourselves. Nartowicz says that she and her roommate had a good year because they communicated well with each other and had a good time. And that's what it's all about.

Sufjan Stevens Seven Swens
In 1972, the movie Deliverance nearly killed the banjo's cultural appeal. When those young, snaggletoothed children twanged out "Dueling Banjos" in the backwoods, it cultivated the image of the banjo as an instrument of some strange, southern musical torture. Today, 32 years later, the banjo is still burdened by this unjust stigma. However, hailing from Michigan (not a southern state), Sufjan Stevens is poised to return the banjo to the American masses and its rightful place at folk's right hand.
Seven Swans, like most other modern folk records, is a lo-fi whisper of
melodic instrumentation and earthen narratives. Acoustic guitars and a delicately picked banjo blend with Stevens' hushed vocals to make a sound frail and beautiful enough to accompany a rainy day. Religious themes and imagery appear throughout Seven Swans, most notably on tracks like "Abraham" and "The Transfiguration" in which Stevens retells familiar biblical anecdotes and muses on metaphysics. Despite these religious undertones, Seven Swans is a universally appealing album conceived without alienating listeners.
conceived without the influence of Seven Swans is a visceral blend of finely crafted folk and soft, melodic vocals. Stevens creates music that would not sound out of place anywhere; music that simply sounds and feels authentic. Sufjan
Stevens is deservedly at the forefront of America's new folk resurgence and Seven Swans shows his growth as well as his ability to provoke emotion. This is real music.

Scissor Sisters Scissor Sisters
Most of us missed it the first time around, so the Scissor Sisters have taken it upon themselves to repackage the worst of the classic rock era into delectable guilt-inducing morsels we all can claim we don't enjoy. Somehow the New York based band manages to revel respectfully in the most ridiculous of genes — from BeeGee's inflected electro to Bowie infused psychedelia — with a hipster's ironic hindsight. Despite a few exceptions the results are successful for what they aim to do, which is to party like it's 1979. Just cooler this time.
Though band members complain they're often mislabeled as a gay cabaret covers act, lead singer Jake Shears, an admitted gay former go-go dancer, has insisted in interviews that his homosexuality and the band's ecstatic sound are
You wouldn't know it from their iridescent cover of the Pink Floyd favorite "Comfortably Numb." Re-imagined as a disco-fever fantasy, complete with Frankie Goes to Hollywood shout-outs, the Floyd has never sounded quite so pink. Meanwhile, tracks such as "Music is the Victim" and "Laura" tread similar redemptive journeys for disgraced genre acts (Suprtramp and Donna Summer, respectively).
Even if a cut or two remind listeners two decades removed why certain seventie treasures should remain buried, the majority reach heights as triumphant as the Elton John evoking sing-along "Take Your Mama Out." Not since Cameron Crowe featured an entire tour bus mouthing "Tiny Dancer" in Almost Famous has cheese-encrusted honky tonk sounded so soulful.
With their self-titled debut, the Scissor Sisters have carved themselves the most enigmatic of pedestals -- that of the bearers of "good" bad music.

Tales of Symphonia For Nintendo's Gamecube

The thing that holds this game together is the real-time combat system. Unlike most traditional RPGs, your characters don't just stand there while you put in commands. They are always moving around the enemies trying to strike them while still trying to avoid attacks as well. You have the option of switching between characters during battles and controlling their actions. This type of combat has a lot of button pushing and
Nintendo Gamecube fans have been waiting for an RPG to call their own. Sure we have Skies of Arcadia Legends, but that's a port from the Sega Dreamcast according to the August 2004 edition of Electronic Gaming Monthly. Tales of Symphonia has it all; great characters, epic storyline, and an excellent combat system.
The main protagonist of the game is Lloyd. Your friend, Colette, has been given the title of Chosen and the duty of regenerating the world's mana (energy for magic) flow. Lloyd, being the stand-up guy, doesn't want her to do it alone. So he grabs his best friend, Genis, and what follows is a quest with two interwined worlds hanging in the balance.
stringing together combos with your other characters. Since you can only control one character at a time, your three other characters can be set to automatic controls and will fight their own way. You can program each character's fighting strategy via the menu screen, you can turn characters into protectors, or combaters.
or combaters. The controls aren't hard to use at all and are mainly used in combat. You use your normal attacks in combination with your special techniques to maximize the damage inflicted on enemies. You assign your special moves to different combinations of the B-button and can also assign your other character's moves to the C-stick for quick access to their techniques without going to the menu telling them what to do.
Tales of Symphonia is a well-put together game. The story is in-depth and the graphics and cell-shaded character models are great. The character-to-character developments and combat system hold the game together and keep people playing.

Maria Full of Grace made me cringe more than once. Not because some scenes are disturbing in its graphic details of the drug-running business, but because we have so much sympathy for its title character and the choices she has to make.
choices she has to make
Maria (Catalina Sandino Moreno) is a 17-year old girl who lives with her sister and mother in Columbia. She works as a thorntriminer in a flower plattage until she becomes pregnant and fruits her job, to the disapproval of her family who uses her for financial support. Unmarried and quickly running out of options, she becomes a mule for a cocaine manufacturer and delivers his product to the United States. She fills her stomach with about 60 small pellets of cocaine and is on a plane to New York.

What is interesting about a film like this is its perspective. Since the entire story, seen through Maria's point of view, we are given a chance to see a part of the drug traficking business movies don't normally show drug movies such as Traffic focus more on the "drug czar" and glamour of the business, and this movie would be a great compliment for it. We get to see the story from the pervasive on those at the bottom and not the top.
I cringed at the movie not just during the scenes where Maria has to choked down the pellets of coke, but also as we witness the situation Maria voluntarily puts herself in because it is so tragic I love foreign films like this because they give us the chance to see a story about something like the drug business from a completely new perspective. —Jon Ralston

The writing really works because Portman and Braff are talented enough to capture the funny moments but master the bittersweet ones. The music also deserves a shout out because of Braff's impeccable tastes. Every song seems written for each scene and they all serve the story. But it is the dramatic moments that heighten the humor and at the end we are left swooning because we believe these people could be real. And by the time the credits roll, we are begging them to be just that.

New 'Hawks ready to play
Tennis coach wants intensity from freshmen for Hurricane Invitational
www.kansan.com
BY RAHUL SHARMA

KANSAN SPORTWRIVER
Hurricanes kept the women's tennis team from its first scheduled tournament, so the Jayhawks have used the extra time to prepare for their first action of the fall season.
The tennis team will travel to Tulsa, Okla., this weekend where it will face hurricanes of a different kind.
The Jayhawks are gearing up for the 12th Annual Hurricane Invitational, hosted by Tulsa.
Second-year coach Amy Hall-Holt said the team was ready to get started.
"With us not traveling last weekend is not going to effect us at all." Hall-Holt said. "The girls are very excited about playing this weekend and are doing a good job preparing for Tulsa."
Schools competing in the women's field are Illinois State, Kansas, Southwest Missouri State, Texas-Arlington, Tulsa and Wichita State.

Invitational is Tula's Daniela Muscolino.
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association ranks the Buenos Aires, Argentina, junior as 29th in singles and 45th in doubles with freshman teammate Carla Zabaleta.
For Kansas, this weekend's tournament will serve as an indicator of the team's progress in practice, as well as
a basis for lineups.
As of right now, we are still evaluating the girls," Hall-Holt said. "We will have a much better feel of line-ups and doubles teams after the weekend."
Hall-Holt, after having three seniors last season, wanted the new players to pick up the intensity, especially with the addition of freshman Lauren Hommell.
"I have been very impressed with Lauren's work ethic and dedication to herself as well as to the team," Hall-Holt said. "We are looking to see some great results out of her this weekend."
Lacking seniors, Hall-Holt expects junior Christine Skoda to be a team leader for Kansas.
"Skoda has been working extremely hard in practice and taking on the
challenge of being a leader," Hall-Holt said.
In addition to the efforts by the players, assistant coach Frank Polito has served as an instrumental figure in the Iavhawks' resurgence.
"The girls have responded great to Polito," Hall-Holt said. "After only four weeks of practice, the girls see that he is very knowledgeable and very passionate about the game. They have a lot of confidence in him."
Hall-Holt said the keys for Kansas to have success this weekend were confidence and being prepared both mentally and physically.
The Jayhawks will compete this weekend beginning on Friday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla.

Conference play begins today
Women's soccer team faces Nebraska today Colorado on Sunday
BY KELLI ROBINETT krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas women's soccer team kicked off the season with an 8-1 record and a No.8 ranking. Now, the team will take on the challenge of the Big 12 Conference beginning today with Nebraska.
Nebraska comes into today's game at 5 p.m. at SuperTarget Field, adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse, with a 6-3 record after starting the season ranked in the top 25.
This is only the second road game of the season for the Cornhuskers. The team's only road game was a 3-2 victory at Creighton
The game will match one of the Big 12's best goalies, Kansas senior goalie Meghan Miller, against one of the conference's best forwards, Nebraska sophomore Brittany Timko, who has been named conference offensive player of the week twice.
Miller leads the Big 12 in every statistical category for a goalkeeper: goals against average with 0.22, 44 saves, a 0.957 save percentage and seven shutouts.
Timko enters the game as the Big 12 leader in points with 25, goals with eight and assists with nine.
Nebraska has outscored its opponents 21-7 this season.
13
Offense isn't the team's only strength.
Sophomore goalie Katie Wright has posted a 5-3 record with a .811 save percentage.
Nebraska holds an 8-1-1 advantage over Kansas in the all-time series. The Jayhawks won last year's meeting 1-0 in Lincoln, Neb.
This weekend features another conference match-up for Kansas. The team will face Colorado, the defending Big 12 champion, on Sunday.
Caroline Smith, junior forward, battles Lyndsey Williams, Mississippi sophomore defender, for control of the ball. Smith recorded one goal and one assist during the Jayhawks' 2-0 victory over the Rebels last Friday in Lawrence.

tomorrow morning, in the land of Paul Bunyan, the Kansas cross country teams will face a test of massive proportions at the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Minn.
The men's squad will line up against 25 of the top teams in the nation, including Minnesota and Iowa, the only teams ranked ahead of Kansas in the Midwest region by the United States Cross Country Coaches Association.
The women's side will compete against 31 Division I teams.
"We might be good, but we don't know
what is cooking out there," said Benson Chesang, Ravine, Kenya, sophomore.
In past seasons, this has been an off week for the Ivahawks.
But this year assistant coach Doug Clark said the men's team was strong enough that it could benefit from the extra opportunity to earn at-large points, which it may need to qualify for the NCAA Championships, a feat not accomplished by Kansas since 1994.
An at-large point is earned by beating a team that goes on to place in the top two at its regional qualifying meet in November.

Age can add edge, help an athlete's performance
Every day, some professor gives me a thought-provoking lesson.
"Neon Deion" has fooled himself and the Baltimore Ravens into thinking, that after coming off a stint as a football commentator, he would be the same cornerback as when he left football.
It turns out Deion was right. He has not changed since he left the NFL. He is still the same cocky egomaniac who now wears his age, 37, as his jersey number and last week earned an excessive celebration penalty for removing his helmet following a 23-yard punt return. All Sanders has earned is a hamstring injury and one more critic.
As I was playing basketball at the Student Fitness Recreation Center, the opposing team was led by a professor point guard. This man, probably 15 years my senior, deftly ran his team's offense, made smart passes, took gutsy shots and nearly brought home a victory for his squad.
Yesterday's lesson was simple: Sports can be ageless.
While stories of old-timers can have happy endings, comebacks and unnecessary perseverance of players can often forever farnish a former star's image.
In this performance, it was proven that age can work to a player's advantage by giving the player the uncalculated edge of experience.
Sometimes time is not the only factor in determining when athletes give up their dream. Reality should also be taken into account. Age in sports is not about years, but about how far removed you are from your prime and your skill in relation to the competition.
The perfect present-day example is Deion Sanders.
Outside of Deion, there are countless other athletes who envisioned a triumphant return, but instead found a sport they were no longer fit to handle.
Mike Tyson, 38, who was once the best heavyweight boxer in the world, lost in his latest comeback attempt to a fighter who was a 9-1 underdog.
On the Kansas front, many have made the argument that former Jayhawk Eric Chenowith should have given up basketball after his first season. He made virtually no progress for his remaining three years and perhaps the many detractors would have preferred it if he had stayed on tour as a groupie with Dave Matthews indefinitely.
Today's sporting world holds plenty of age-defying success stories.
In one of the most mystifying decisions in sports history, Michael Jordan chose to return to baseball — a sport he had not played since high school. His dreams vanished as the .200 hitter embarrassed himself playing for the minor league Birmingham Barons.
Former Kansas City Athletics pitcher Satchel Paige pitched in the Major Leagues until he was 59. In his final game, he pitched three shutout innings.
At age 40, Barry Bonds was the most feared hitter in baseball and was in his prime. Bonds has shown no signs of slowing down and recently hit his 700th home run. At age 42, he is a lock to be the all-time home run king.
When looking for a piece of wisdom on this subject, one should look no further than Satchiel Paige, the 59-year-old pitcher, who rarely answered questions about his age: "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
VOL.
Some know when to make the graceful exit; others hang around like a cloud of smoke in a 2003 Lawrence bar.

Details of Perkins' contract disclosed
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins and Chancellor Robert Hemenway released the details of Perkins' contract on Friday afternoon. Perkins could make as much as $545,000 yearly, but no less than $520,000. He will also earn an additional $1.3 million if he stays until June 2009.
The Lawrence Journal-World filed a lawsuit against the University of Kansas in January 2004 after it refused to disclose the details of Perkins' contract.
PETER ROBERTS
The University held that the Kansas Open Records Act protects those documents from the public.

After nine months of litigation,
Douglas County District Court
Judge Jack Murphy ruled a week ago that the University must release those documents by Oct. 18, 2004.
The University said it might appeal the court's decision, but on Friday, Hemenway a nd Perkins met with the press to discuss the details of Perkins' contract. Hemenway said they did not file an appeal to the court's ruling because

"People have been brewing around town that there is some deep dark secret angel that puts money into the athletic corporations to pay Lew Perkins' salary." Hemenway said. "That's not true. We wanted to put it all out there and let the numbers speak for themselves."
"Young people are volunteering more and more, but they're not voting more," Wolff said.

Yesterday's concert was the kick-off event of Civic Literacy Week, a week sponsored by SLAB, Student Senate, Lawrence Rock the Vote and the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics that encourages students' civic involvement through events going on around campus all week.
"My goal is to make it so that civic literacy becomes a topic of discussion on campus," she said.

The KU Theatre for Young People is celebrating-its 50th anniversary, but audience numbers are lacking for one of the Theatre's upcoming shows, Still Life With Iris
Jeanne Klein, director of KU Theatre for Young People, said the new show, Still Life With Iris, targeted children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
Klein said 450 children were scheduled to attend the performances. She said a total of
Reality Rosei, which targeted first to fourth grades, had a total audience of 2,214 children. Both the Lawrence School District and rural schools are included in the total number of students.

Klein said she thought one cause for the plummeting numbers of children was cuts in school funding.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
The University of Kansas Theatre for Young People will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this week. Nathaniel S, Eek, former director of the University's Experimental Theatre, will speak on the "Origins of KU Theatre for Young People" on 7 p.m. Friday before the 8 p.m. performance of Amber Waves. James Still, author of Amber Waves, will speak on "Why Theatre for Young People Matters to KU" on 7 p.m. Saturday. All performances and presentations will be in the Crafton-Preyre Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Children's theatre at the University began in 1954 with Rumpelstiltskin performed by the University Players, a student group, in March. Huckleberry Finn followed in July for the celebration of Lawrence's Centennial.
Nathaniel Eek and Sally Six Hersh, founder and former Theatre for Young People, proposed to Allen Crafton, chairman for speech and drama department, that children's theatre and creative drama become a part of the speech and drama degree program.
Land of the Dragon, which ran in 1955, was the first department-sponsored production of the KU Theatre for Young People.
Jeanne Klein became director of the theatre for Young People in 1986. KU Theatre for Young People puts on two productions every year. One production targets grades one through three and the other targets four through six. In addition to two productions, the theatre offers post-performance workshops to schools and after-school drama classes to elementary students.

Lawrence police investigate rape of 19-year-old resident
Lawrence Police are investigating a rape reported by a 19-year-old Lawrence resident.
The woman was reportedly raped by a man she met at It's Brother's Bar & Grill, 1105 Massachusetts, Sept. 16.
She left with one of three men she met at the bar that night who later drove her back to his place.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said she passed out but was conscious at some point of the rape.
The female sustained no injuries.
She filed the report at 4 p.m. that day.
The suspect, who Ward described as a tall male with short brown hair, dropped the victim off at her house at noon on Sept. 16.
Ward said alcohol was not reported as a contributing factor to the rape, but the victim reported that she consumed alcohol before going to the bar.

STATE
New state regulations may result from political ad gaps
TOPEKA — Kansans may be receiving postcards in the mail or hearing radio ads as the election nears, raising questions about elected officials or extolting their virtues. But in many cases, they won't get much information about who's paying for such efforts or who's behind them.
The state doesn't do much to regulate independent groups that are active in politics, if those groups avoid a magic phrases in their literature. If a group is required to disclose information about its activities, the information may not be available to the public until the polls have closed.
Gaps in Kansas law have the state's campaign finance enforcers considering possible changes. Officials are thinking about whether more regulations are necessary. It's part of an ongoing national debate over independent groups, their activities and forcing them to disclose the source of their and how they spend them.
"The more the public knows about the interests and money behind political campaigns, the better it is," said Derek Willis, who tracks campaign finance issues and spending by independent groups for the Washington based Center for Public Integrity.

Pulitzer Prize winner Mears speaks at Editor's Day
By Laura FRANCEDIVILIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Mears was critical of the way television news media presents presidential candidates, he said at Kansas Editor's Day on Saturday.
"Now people see them everyday. It sort of makes them more accessible but more remote. They're packaged, promoted and sold like products in a supermarket." Mears said.
Mears was a political reporter for the past 11 presidential campaigns and won the Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the '76 presidential campaign.
Mears spoke to about 150 people in the Kansas Union about
his 45 years of experience as a political reporter with the Associated Press.
PETER HALLINGTON
Mears began his career as a political reporter as one of the boys on the bus in the
MEARS
late '60s, when the reporters covering campaigns traveled together in a bus.
Other reporters would peer over his shoulder to find out what he was writing.
He could get to the heart of what was important said Paul Stevens, an executive with the Associated Press. Stevens said they other reporters would look
Stevens said Mears had always been a fair reporter who gave balance to both sides in campaigns.
at him and say "What's the lead,
Walter?"
Because Mears retired in 2001, he now freely injects his own opinion and humor into politics.
In his speech on Saturday, Mears described experiences he wrote about in his book, Deadlines Past: Forty Years of Presidential Campaigning: A Reporter's Story, and criticized the current presidential campaign.
"There is too much shouting and too little debate on the issues that really matter," he said.
Mears said negative campaign ads and the 24-hour news cycle have hurt the way people see presidential candidates.

affected Thomas Jefferson's campaign, but now television amplifies negative campaigning. Mears said.
"Technology creates a huge echo chamber," he said.
Mears even-handedly criticized George W. Bush and John Kerry.
Although Republicans call Kerry a flip-flopster, he said both
candidates were equally guilty of flip-flowing on issues.
He said the Republicans misconstrued the relationship between the war on terror and the war in Iraq.
Mears also said Al Qaeda has influenced the election.
Meurs said Kerry had trouble relating to voters.
But as long as the Republics continue to convince the public the wars are one in the same, Mears said Bush would be home-free on Iraq.
Bush almost certainly would be defeated out of a second term if not for the 9/11 attack, he said.
"He talks too much like a senator. Senate-speak has a minimal relationship to the English language," he said.
He also said that Kerry may not
be a good leader if he didn't run his campaign more effectively.
"john Kerry is a bad manager if he's satisfied with the way the campaign is going." Mears said.
Thursday. Mears' enthusiasm for reporting was invigorating said Carlos Rodriguez, journalism student and Wichita junior.
He wrote an Internet blog for the Associated Press for the Democratic and Republican conventions and his next project would be covering the presidential debates, the first of which is Thursday.
Even after retirement Mears has continued to be active in the presidential election.
"He represents fair, balanced and accurate reporting," he said

EDITORIAL BOARD
Animation still has place in grown-up viewers' lives
Be honest: you watch cartoons. Everyone does, even if it is not on a regular basis. Shows such as The Simpsons, South Park, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force are as popular with those in their 20s as any programs on television. Family Guy has become so popular on DVD and in syndication that Fox has decided to uncancel it. It is impossible to walk across campus without noticed someone sporting a shirt with the visage of Homer Simpson, Cartman, or Spongebob. So why are cartoons so popular?
Lisa Simpson once told her parents, "If you take our cartoons away, we'll grow up without a sense of humor and be mindless robots." While her brother Bart wanted to know what kind of robots, most of us should be examining the truth of this statement.
Much of the college experience consists of preparing us all for that mystic place called "the real world." Students are constantly forced to live their lives with a stoic seriousness. The combination of class, homework, jobs, and activities often limit students' capacity for enjoying life.
As adults, the gravity of life is enormous, and laughter becomes a
much needed medicine. Cartoons give everyone something to laugh at. Most people have a favorite animated show to watch. Every person should have one. Life is too filled with stresses and hardships to not have the joy of at least one cartoon
We all probably know someone who doesn't watch cartoons. It is time to reintroduce these people to the pleasure of animation. Make an effort to sit down with them and watch your favorite show. Have a cartoon watching party. Reference cartoons in your discussion classes—many adult oriented shows are ripe with satire, pop culture allusions, and conflicts that fit perfectly into many English and Western Civilization classes.
Most importantly, don't give up on cartoons. In our quests to grow up, it can be tempting to leave behind all aspects of our childhoods.Animated sitcoms fill a niche in our lives that nothing else can fill.Simply put, cartoons are an irreplaceable part of life.
After all, it was The Simpsons that gave us the best television line ever: "Grandpa, why are there only 49 stars on that flag?"
"Because I'll be cold and dead in the ground before I recognize Missourah!"

Mental health not to be ignored
Let's play name that movie quote. Ready?
PERSPECTIVE
"Dr. Marvin! Dr. Leo Marvin!!! Dr. Marvin!!!"
Time's up. If you've seen What About Bob? you probably knew the answer immediately. In the movie, Bill Murray plays Bob Wiley, a neurotic, phobic, obsessive compulsive and schizophrenic man who persistently raises havoc for his new therapist, Dr. Leo Marvin played by Richard Dreyfus.
1970
The movie is a comedy, but it portrays a larger and heavier-hearted issue sweeping across college campuses and the country right now: the issue of mental health.
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE opinion@kansan.com
Conditions span from insignificant to life-threatening, but in a 2003 survey by the American College Health Association, more than 40 percent of students reported feeling "so depressed it was difficult to function" at least once during the year. We have all probably heard this from friends or experienced it firsthand.
But, as every non-crack dealer would remind you, drugs aren't the answer. Or at least in the case of dealing with issues
Mental health problems confuse us because they don't have simple or easy solutions. Over the past decade the use of neuro-pharmaceuticals to treat mental disorders has sky-rocketed in the U.S. at a rate that should alarm everyone. The most popular are serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac. The Alliance for Human Research Protection estimated the use of such drugs more than tripled among people under the age of 20 from 1985-2002.
such as stress and depression, not the best one.
Last Tuesday the Energy and Commerce Committee in the House of Representatives blasted the Food and Drug Administration for withholding data pertinent to the growing suspicion that antidepressants such as Paxil and Prozac may actually increase the risk of suicide in young people, or have no beneficial effect. It doesn't take a congressional hearing, though, to point out facts that we have all seen either in our own dealings with the issue or in friends - that those seeking chemical help for psychological disorders should approach drugs with caution, and even then, as a last resort.
Many causes perpetuate mental health problems. Some are genetic. Some are environmentally induced. At the bottom of the barrel are those who feign mental illness to seek comparison to geniuses, like eventually-earless Van Gogh or Edgar Alan Poe, who certainly did suffer from psychological disorders. It's fair to say that such artists created in spite of their disorders, not because of them.
If drugs and self-aggrandizement
aren't the place to start dealing with the current wave of psychological conditions, then where? Bob Wiley chose to pick up hobbies — such as annoying his psychiatrist — and to fake mental conditions, such as Tourettes Syndrome, in order to convince himself he did not really have them.
This last strategy would make for some interesting class lectures. Most professors wouldn't highly recommend it, though.
As deep as stress and anxiety press on students and young people, many alternative solutions, other than becoming medicated, exist. Join a club. Go to church. Don't remain isolated. Drop an unnecessary class. Watkins Memorial Health Center offers programs to help treat problems if they persist to levels that impede normal everyday functioning.
Personal caution and will to identify and overcome mental health issues can highly reduce the risk of conditions becoming serious. The truth is that even the National Institute of Mental Health has the answers to the causes, twists and turns of everyday psychological problems.
Don't forget that the brain, which we use to know the world, is also the most complicated thing in the world that we know of. Listening to close friends and your own gut on these issues is probably the best place to start.

You come home from a tiring day of classes, put your backpack down and sit at your desk. When you bring your computer back from the screensaver pattern swirling across the screen, you see one of the most common sights on computer screens today. No, not the latest hotte you downloaded as your background, but rather the ever-present instant messenger. As soon as you start chatting with people, a completely different world opens up in front of you.

Today's fast-paced society requires faster and more efficient means of communication. The convenience of online messaging services allows people to connect to each other all over the world in near real time, without the hassles of long distance fees or service charges. People can do other activities while chatting: check e-mail, type papers or surf the Internet. It also allows a person to chat with numerous people at once, saving time. At least, that is the idea.
can last longer than the average phone call and usually have less substance than in-person conversations.
There are definitely advantages to instant messaging, but the disadvantages cannot be ignored. People who spend hours in front of a computer screen chatting tend to miss out on the world around them. Talking to more than two or three people at a time online is distracting. The quality of conversation diminishes with every added conversation. People's attention spans were not designed to cope with this type of multitasking.

ies or when trying to put your best face forward. The nature of messages in text form — even with smiley faces — can be unclear, causing unnecessary misunderstandings to occur.
The online messaging is one more indication of a culture that has become more impersonal through technology. People once had to make phone calls, or meet in person to talk, but now — through the ease of technology — people don't even have to see each other to "talk." Even cell phones now come with text message programs. Now people can send messages from wherever they are.
Online messaging is, for the most part, a great service, but that doesn't mean it should become our preferred mode of communication. The relationships between people, such as the art of conversation and daily personal interactions, are what hold society together. Face-to-face conversations are still the best form of direct communication — not screen-to-screen People cannot afford to let technology run their lives until they are missing out on the rest of what life has to offer.

The University also pays for Perkins' wife to travel with him on business trips and "a reasonable number of away football and men's basketball games when an official business purpose is not identified."
BILL SELF'S SALARY
Additionally, Perkins receives four season tickets to men's basketball games and a private suite in Memorial Stadium.

Hemenway said that it was hard to compare Perkins' salary with other University employees because those employees' salaries are paid solely from state money.
"When you compare expenditures in athletics and expenditures of other employees, it is like comparing apples and oranges." Hemenway said. "University employees are paid with all state money and Lew is paid only $165,000 of state money."
Since Perkins has been at the University, he has hired several assistants that were not here when he came from Connecticut.
Those people, who include additional tutors and academic assistants for the student athletes, trainers and strength coaches, were questioned by the public.
Perkins said there are several statistics to show that these assistants have helped the student athletes.
The athletic department had its best academic last year, posting and average grade point average of 2.98. The University average in the fall of 2002 was 2.96 and 3.01in the spring of 2003.

The after-tax amount is $211,458, with a pretax amount estimated at $381,887.
increase in fund-raising for the athletic department has allowed him to bring in additional people.
Before his tenure at the University, the athletic department had never raised more than $5 million in funds.
Last year, Perkins said it raised $30 million.
Part of what Perkins has done to increase the funding for the University is that he is constantly traveling around the country, promoting the University and attending national conferences. Last week, he traveled to Tucson, Ariz., and Nebraska. He was
also in New York earlier this week.
Perkins and Hemenway both said that when Perkins was hired, both parties said that they wanted Perkins to finish his career at the University.
They said they did not want there to be any animosity between the athletic officials and media organizations.
"We had a difference of opinion with a news organization about what should be made public," Perkins said.

THEATRE: Less funding equals less of a grade school audience
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
There is less money for schools to send children on field trips and teachers have to pick and choose more carefully the types of activities students will participate in, Klein said.
Paulette Strong, principal for Quail Run Elementary, said the KU Theatre for Young People had extended the offer to Quail Run for its students to attend Still Life With Iris.
Teachers at the school had decided not to take classes to the play.
"We are absolutely driven by funding." Strong said.
Strong said busing the students to the play was an issue because there was little funding for transportation.
Strong said teachers also had to look at whether the programs or field trips tied into the school curriculum.
Klein said another reason more students weren't able to come was the No Child Left Behind Act, which she calls the "Leave Theatre Behind Act." Schools are having to spend more time with reading, math and testing and less time with the arts. Klein said.
Klein said the Theatre had to decrease the number of performances for Still Life With Iris from six performances to four. Still Life With Iris runs Friday as well as Oct. 4 and 5 at 1:00 p.m. for the schools and are also open to the public.
A performance on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. is open to the public. Tickets are $5 for University of Kansas students.
Erika Crane, who plays Iris, said the cast would make the performances the best they could regardless of the audience's size.
"I'm a little saddened by it." Crane, Tokyo senior, said.
Crane, along with being the vocal coach for Still Life With Iris, also has the job of contacting the Lawrence schools and finding out which ones are coming and which aren't.
"It kind of hurt at first, but it's part of the job." Crane said of the increasing amount of rejections by schools.
Crane said children really responded to theatre and they addered the actors. Crane, who played Mowgli in the Theatre's production of the Jungle Book, said she remember one child asking why Mowgli was being played by a girl.
"It just kind of shows you how involved they are," Crane said.
Klein said another reason more students weren't able to come was the No Child Left Behind Act, which she calls the "Leave Theatre Behind Act." Schools are having to spend more time with reading, math and testing and less time with the arts, Klein said.

Melissa Turpin, a fifth grade teacher at New York Elementary, said she was taking her class to Still Life with Iris
Turpin said the school had a long tradition of taking classes to performances by the KU Theatre for Young People.
She said classes also went to the Lawrence Arts Center and the Lied Center.
Ann Bruemmer, director for arts and humanities for the Lawrence school district, said schools had limited funds for busing children to events.
Bruemmer said the issue was not always the type of event, but whether the schools could provide transportation for the students.
Bruemmer said the school district was also facing three consecutive weeks of children's programs: Boston Tea Party from the Lawrence Arts Center, Still Life with Iris from the KU Theatre for Young People and Pilobolus Too from the Lied Center.
However, Boston Tea Party is the only one that targets some of the same audience as Still Life.

"We've got a lot of activities going on during the day, and then we have the debate watch at night," she said.
She said she thought civic literacy week had to overcome two main obstacles in the minds of young people.
"We're already jaded," she said. "We've been through Bill Clinton and the 2000 election."
She also partially blamed the lack of civics classes in high school for the second main problem.
Meredith Vacek, a Lawrence graduate student, was a DJ for the concert that included performances by the Mark Lyda Combo, Drakkar Sauna, The Old Canes Orchestree and Yucca Roots.
"There's a lot of misinformation and non-information out there," she said. "People don't know how or where to register to vote anymore."

PLAYWRIGHT: Returns to roots in play
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The weekend of Oct. 1 and 2 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the University of Kansas Theatre for Young People, and Still, the 45-year-old 1982 University theatre graduate, will be back to his alma mater to help celebrate.
Admitting that it's fun to be back, he also credits his education and calls the University a place "I got so much from."
"I can draw a straight line of attending KU to who I am today." Still said.
Can draw a straight line of attending
KU to who I am today."
Still's play has won several awards including the Distinguished Play of the Year Award from the American Alliance for Theatre & Education and was commissioned by the John F. Kennedy
James Still
In Amber Waves, Still wrote about a farming family facing real-world challenges, including financial problems and day-to-day stress.
The dilemmas that the family encounters are contemporary, Still said, and recognizable enough that all audiences can relate. Amber Waves is a play where "people see themselves," Still said.
Playwright
Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Other than Amber Waves Still has a list of award-winning plays and professional honors.
His other work includes Looking Over the President's Shoulder, Searching for Eden, He Held Me Grand, A Village Fable, and his solo piece that became an off-Broadway number. The Velocity of Gary (Not His Real Name).
Still has produced and directed these plays in famous theatre's including Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.; American Heartland Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.; Geva Theatre Center in Rochester, N.Y.; People's Light & Theatre Company in Philadelphia, and Merrimack Repertory Theatre near Boston.
Describing the feeling of watching one of his plays in famous theatres. Still explains it as a mixture of "awesomeness" and "responsibility."
He says that while his play is going on, it's amazing to think that he's adding to the legacy and history of the theatres.
Although it's hard to focus on the play itself, Still thinks about the people who have "challenged and encouraged me, bringing me to where I am today."
The KU Theatre for Young People will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a reunion, guest speakers and performances of Still Life with Iris at 2.30 p.m. Saturday, and Amber Waves at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The play is an adventure about a young girl seeking her home.
Nathaniel S. Eek, former director of the University's Experimental Theatre, will speak Friday, Oct. 1, about the "Origins of KU-TYP" Still will speak Saturday, Oct. 2, on "Why TYP matters to KU." Both presentations will begin at 7 p.m. in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre, prior to the 8 p.m. per-

The Kansas women's soccer team kicked off Big 12 Conference play over the weekend with a split against Nebraska and Colorado.
Kansas
KANSAS-COLORADO BOX SCORE
In Friday's game, it only took Nebraska's leading scorer, Brittany Timko, 57 seconds to get the Cornhuskers out to an early 1-0 lead. Timko, who was also the Big 12 leader in goals going into the match, was able to elude two defenders and get a shot past senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller.
The Jayhawks had a rough outing Friday in their conference opener against the Cornhuskers, falling 1-0. But they rebounded yesterday with a 2-1 victory over the defending Big 12 Conference champion Colorado Buffaloes.

"The problem today was that we made mental mistakes," said coach Mark Francis after the game. "We knew that (Timko) was their best player; we talked about it all week and how we had to watch her. But she gets off a shot with two players on her. That's unacceptable."

Jayhawks 'turnover' victory
Kansas blows first half lead in 31-30 loss to Texas Tech
BY JONATHAN KEALING

KANSAN SPORTS WORDER
Kansas' back-to-back losses have shown how important it is for a team to play an entire game.
In Saturday's 31-30 loss to the Red Raiders the Jayhawks came out early, built a strong lead and then seemed to take the rest of the game off.
7 55 TEXAS TECH
The Jayhawks will need a full-game effort to beat the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. next week. They didn't get that effort against Texas Tech.
Going into the locker room at half time, the Jayhawks had a 30-11 lead over the Red Raiders.
During the second half, Kansas' offense stalled. The defense created several stops and intercepted a pass, but it was unable to completely shut down the quick-paced Texas Tech offense.
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
The defensive unit, a strength for Kansas throughout the first four games of the season, gave up 538 yards of total offense. Even when the offense went scoreless, five turnovers and timely defensive stops kept the Jayhawks alive.
Adam Bermann, sophomore quarterback, dodges Brock Stratton, Texas Tech sophomore linebacker, while Matt Thompson, junior offensive lineman, blocks. KU managed only 86 yards on the ground against the Texas Tech defense. The Jayhawks lost the game 31-30 Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Running game clenches Tech's victory

Third and six from the Texas Tech 30-yard line, Red Raider coach Mike Leach called a run up the middle, rather than trying to throw the football. When running back Taurean Henderson heard the call in the huddle he thought of one thing: touchdown.
That's exactly what Henderson did, taking the carry up the middle, virtually untouched 70 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
The call came as a slight surprise to Henderson and quarterback Sonny Cumbie, but they did not second guess the call.
"You have to think big on those plays," Henderson said. "The entire time I was thinking about scoring."
The touchdown capped the secondstraight come-from-behind victory for the Red Raiders.

This week, they were down 25 points yet overcame the deficit again and won 31-30.

last quarter.
"Everybody thinks we are going to throw the ball and finally we ran the ball and we were able to convert," Henderson said.
Cumbie did not complete a pass in the fourth quarter and the Red Raiders relied on the running attack
to get the victory.
Running back Taurean Henderson ran the ball four times in the fourth quarter for nearly 100 yards, including the 70 yard scamper with less than three minutes to go to give the Red Raiders the permanent lead.
Henderson had a career day as he ran for 169 yards on just 17 carries with the majority of the yards coming on the game winning carry.

Henderson scored early in the third quarter.
That touchdown was set up from an Chad Johnson interception that was returned to the Kansas six-yard line. Cumble said interception switched the momentum of the game.
The Red Raiders used a couple of long touchdown passes to chip away at the Kansas lead. Haverty had eight catches for a 143 yards and a 32-yard touchdown reception.
This is a big win for us but we have to start faster, that has been the big problem for us the past couple games," Henderson said.

Benson Chesang, the only Jayhawk to compete at the NCAA Championships last season, led the way for Kansas with an 11th place finish out of 223 runners, completing the eight-kilometer course in 24 minutes, 38 seconds. The Eldama Ravine, Kenya, sophomore said he felt good in his first race of the year after sitting out the first two meets to rest a sore hamstring.
"I felt I was going out too fast at the start, but then I realized I was just at the right pace, so I ran with the front pack," he said. "It was a good start for me."
Baylor, Texas Tech and Nebraska. Topranked Wisconsin won the meet, placing five runners in the top ten.
Senior Chris Jones finished second on the team, 57th overall, in 25:36. He was followed by junior Matt French, 59th, 25:37, freshman Colby Wissel, 72nd, 25:53, and sophomore Tyler Kelly, 84th, 26:01.
Assistant coach Doug Clark said the team was hurt by not running in a tight pack like they did in the first two meets.
"We have to run our own race, and not be intimidated by the size of the field and the size of the competition," he said. "We were only partially successful in doing that. But the race today was a good experience for Pre-Nationals coming up in three weeks."
On the women's side, the Jayhawks placed 23rd out of 29 teams, including eight ranked in the top 50 nationally by the Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association. Second-ranked Providence College won the meet, scoring three top ten finishers.

White Sox beat Royals one player unsatisfied
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Jon Garland's impressive performance against Kansas City did little to change his opinion of his overall performance this year.
Garland pitched into the ninth inning, and Wilson Valdez hit his first career homer to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals yesterday.
"I'm not happy with
the way I have thrown the ball."
Jon Garland White Sox pitcher
Garland (11) came within two outs of his second complete game of the season, and first since June 20 at Montreal. It was his first victory since Sept. 3 against Seattle.
"I'm not happy with the way I have thrown the ball," Garland said. "I feel I'm a lot better pitcher than I have shown, especially this year. I guess time will only tell how I end up."
"It was just nice to go out there and give my team a chance," Garland said. "I haven't done that lately. I have been putting them in a hole and nothing good could come out of that."
He gave up one run and five hits in eight 1-3 innings, struck out five and walked two.
Crazy for crumpets
Ross Gload also homered, and Jose Valentin and Joe Borchard hit back-to-back shots in the seventh inning for the White Sox, who won three of four against the Royals.
Chicago has hit the second-most homers in baseball history at home this season with 145, second to Colorado's 149 in 1996.
"We hit a lot of home runs, but we give up a lot of home runs, too," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "The ballpark seemed pretty small this year."
Damaso Marte got two outs for his sixth save.
Brian Anderson (5-12) allowed five runs on nine hits for the Royals, who lost for the 98th time this season the second-most losses in franchise history. Only the 2002 team (62-100) lost more.
"He threw the ball well, but he gave up four home runs. Against this type of ballclub, if you leave the ball up and over the middle of the plate, you're going to pay," Royals manager Tony Pena said.
Gload homered in the second inning off Anderson to give the White Sox a 1-0 lead.
"I made a couple of mistakes and instead of going for a single, they went for home runs," Anderson said.
Aaron Rowand singled with two outs in the third and scored on Juan Uribe's double to left-center.
Garland gave up his only run of the game on a 456-foot shot by Calvin Pickering in the fifth to make it 2-1.
Valdez homered with two outs in the fifth off Anderson to give Chicago a 3-1 lead.
With one out in the seventh, Valentin homered off Anderson on a full count for his career-high 29th. Borchard followed by hitting another full-count pitch to left.

Chiefs record third straight loss
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Marcus Coleman made the interception and the long return. Andre Johnson and Derick Armstrong made the catches.
And, finally, Kris Brown made the kick that kept the Kansas City Chiefs winless.
The Houston Texans came up with one clutch second-half play after another Sunday, and Brown capped the rally by nailing a 50-yard field goal with 2 seconds left for a 24-21 victory.
The Chiefs, the defending AFC West champions, became the fourth team since 1990 to start 0-3 after making the
playoffs the previous season.
Priest Holmes became the Chiefs' career leading rusher with 4,941 yards but couldn't get into the end zone. Trent Green threw three touchdown passes but also gave up the interception that Coleman returned 102 yards for a third-quarter touchdown to tie the game at 14.
And the defense kept Houston in check for three quarters — before giving up three plays of 20 or more yards in the fourth. On the winning drive, Houston marched 42 yards in 2:16 to set up the field goal.

Coleman's return was the longest defensive.touchdown ever given up by the Chiefs.
"It feels like someone's got me in a headlock, and I can't get out of it," said tight end Tony Gonzalez.
The Texans' previous record was Marlon McCree's 95-yard interception return against Tennessee last Dec.21, while Buffalo's Tony Greene returned an interception 101 yards against Kansas City in 1976.

Singh broke the PGA Tour single- year money record Woods set while winning three majors in 2000, holding off Stewart Cink to win the 84 Lumber Classic by one shot Sunday for his third consecutive victory.
Singh's eighth championship this year pushed his money total to $9,455,566 in 26 events, surpassing Woods' $9,188,321 while he was winning nine times in 20 events in 2000.
With Singh expecting to play four more times, he could become the first to win $10 million in one year.
Singh led from start to finish for his fifth victory in six tournaments, the best such streak since Woods won six in a row to end 1999 and start 2000.

Texas three-step: No. 21 Jayhawks swept
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
KANSAS
NSAS KANSAS KA
The No.21 Kansas volleyball team lost its first home match of the season Saturday as No.22 Texas came into the Horejsi Family Athletics Center and pulled off a 3-0 sweep.
Kansas junior setter Andi Rozum and senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels leap to defend a Texas serve. Despite the Jayhawks' effort, the Longhorns swept the match, 3-0 Saturday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Chris Miller/KANSAN
"You wait for something to get better," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We ran out of games before it did."
The Jayhawks knew the Longhorns could hit the ball hard, but they hoped to match the Texas offense and record their fourth straight victory over the Longhorns.
Texas's defense wouldn't allow it. It held the Jayhawks to a .099 hitting percentage, by far the worst of the season for Kansas. In contrast, the Longhorns hit at a .359 clip.
The Jayhawks struggled to defend the Longhorns' powerful attacks from the first point in game one. Junior outside hitter Paula Caten tied the game with two early kills, but Texas took a 17-10 lead and went on to win 30-24.
"They blocked a lot of balls and made us alter our shots," said freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown.
The second game started out with an early service ace by Texas' highly-touted freshman libero, Alyson Jennings. She
added another ace later in the game to give her team a 15-8 lead. The Jayhawks were never able to close the gap, and they lost 30-20.
Caten led the team with five kills in game two.
After the match, Bechard singled out Caten, a junior college transfer from Barton County Community College, as the lone bright spot. The only players with positive hitting percentages for the match were Caten (.286), junior setter Andi Rozum (.143), and senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels (.400). Michaels had only 15 attack attempts, while the other frontline starters had 26 or more.
"We didn't get Michaels the ball enough." Bechard said.
Texas had five players with positive percentages, including outside hitter Bethany Howden, who hit at an amazing 630. She added six block assists on the night.
Kansas took its only lead of the match on a Michaels kill to start game three, but Howden immediately answered with a kill of her own to tie the game, 1-1. In game three alone, she had seven kills and three block assists in leading her team to a 30-15 victory and securing the match for the Longhorns.
"This team got hit pretty hard tonight, and they need to get off the mat," Bechard said.
Sophomore outside hitter
Iana Correa sat out again with a
knee injury. She missed three matches earlier this season before returning Sept. 19 against North Dakota State.
"Jana helps a lot," Caten said.
"Soon she will be back, hopefully.
With senior outside hitter Lindsey Morris out indefinitely, sophomore outside hitter Meghan Hill started the first match of her career. She had three kills and five errors on 16
attack attempts, including three errors on four attempts in game two.
Freshman opposite hitter Tessa Jones took Hill's place late in the final game, when it was already out of reach.
Beachard was not sure whether Hill, Jones or Correa would start the team's next match. The No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Horesi on Wednesday.
Brown said Saturday's loss could benefit Kansas against Nebraska, as the Cornhuskers play a physical game, similar to the Longhorns.
"It's a great opportunity to put this loss behind us," Brown said of Wednesday's match. "We feel a little more prepared after going against such a powerful team."

FINISH: Manthe leads women runners
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Senior Megan Mantle led the Jayhawks, finishing 68th out of 273 runners with a six-kilometer time of 22:42. She was followed by freshman Connie Abbott (120th, 23:27), senior Monika Spinger (137th, 23:43), sophomore Laura Major (140th, 23:47) and freshman Mallory Richardson (149th, 23:56).
The team was boosted by the
arrival of Spinger and Richardson, who both raced for the first time this season. Spinger, a Berlin, Germany, native, sat out the first two races to rest a hurt Achilles' tendon.
Richardson, a Lawrence sophomore in her freshman season, joined the team last week. She said she had been training for the past year and decided to compete for Kansas posting a 18:46 in the five-kilometer this
summer. But she didn't call with the coaches in time to join the team at the beginning of the year.
"I would've liked to have started earlier in the season," she said, "but I'm glad to be on the team. I hadn't run a cross country course in a year, so it's good getting back into it."
Clark said the young team was rattled by the size of the competition, but that the experience will benefit them in large meets

A Celebration of Frank Burge
Forever in our hearts and halls.
KU
Frank Burge served as director of the KU Memorial Unions for thirty years. During his tenure he built the institution into one of the largest and finest programs in the nation.
His passing this summer precluded many in the campus community, particularly students and alumni, from commemorating his service and life. The KU Memorial Unions will provide an opportunity for such a celebration tomorrow, on Frank's birthday.
Kansas Union September 28,2004 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
11:00 am
Commemoration Ceremony in Alderson Auditorium. Dr.Roney will open the ceremony and allow for a series of commentaries related to Frank's life.
12:00 pm Reception in the Traditions Lounge featuring a cake cutting with free cake for passers-by.
Donations should be placed in the Frank Burge Scholarship Fund. Endowment Association Account 833521.00001

See I told ya.
Ok, but you were swerving a lot.
And I told you a magical raccoon was molesting my ear.
Ok... we're going to do the tests again
PRINCE SPENCE BY MATT SEUCILE AND MAX KREUTZER FOR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
I was going to study for a test, but I played Super Nintendo for three hours instead.
Don't look at me that way. I don't come into your home and criticize you!

Today's Birthday (Sept. 27).
Today's birthday tea party
Projects you've had on hold come to the forefront this year.
It's OK if you can't duplicate the picture that's in your mind.
That's part of the creative process.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 6.
You have an angel sitting on one shoulder and a little devil on the other. A consultation with the former is appropriate now. Come up with a strategy to put the latter to work.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 4.
HOROSCOPES
communication is more than a skill or even a natural talent. It does take work, but the truth is that it's a real miracle. Your assignment now is to keep everybody who's involved up to date on your changing schedule.
An argument is apt to break out, but it's based on a misunderstanding. You're good at getting the messages right, so be the moderator. You'll be giving everybody a gift by helping them keep the peace.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6.
fotoday is a 6.
Ask questions, but don't be dismayed if you get unexpected answers. Although you've figured a lot of things out, there'll be a few surprises.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6.
Be careful not to max out the limits on your credit cards. You'll see a lot of little things you want, but those will add up fast to very big numbers. Watch out!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 6.
You shouldn't have to do everything, and besides that, you can't. Give away a job that someone else can do better than you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7.
Sometimes you just need to do a little art for the fun of it. Don't worry about whether it will sell or even be useful. Let loose!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Today is a 7. Encourage skeptics to speak out. Welcome their criticism. The questions they ask are the
very ones you will be able to answer.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7.
people are interested in making changes, but they're not sure how. Help them see the situation differently, and advise restraint. The points of view are not in balance yet.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7.
You'll find out that some of your illusions were false,the more you read. You may already be suspicious,but you don't yet know which is which.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7.
Should you pay off bills or save enough to buy a special treat? If you modify the latter somewhat, there should be enough for both.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
A critic who's pestering you isn't necessarily right, Listen, and note the comments. Don't be pressured into following. You're the one who should be in the lead because of your standards.

Underdog upsets lead to Kealing's 9-4 record
This was a down week for every single football team I like.
It started Thursday when my brother's high school team gave away a 21-point lead in the second half.
The drama continued Saturday when I watched the Jayhawks give away a 25-point lead to the visiting Red Raiders of Texas Tech.
Then, to wrap up the fantastic weekend of football, both the Chiefs, my AFC team, and the
Rams, my NFC team, lost to Houston and New Orleans.
Maybe next week I should just flip a coin when I pick my games.
I guess it should come as no surprise that I went an abyssal 8-5 again this week.
Clearly, I need to find a new system. Last week, I went heavy on the upsets and got burned. This week, I went after home teams and favorites and got burned.

I mean, come on. Who would believe that Wake Forest would get past Boston College? And then what's up with the Jayhawks?
I suppose we have come to the time when I acknowledge the person who took top honors this week.
If they'd been able to win, not only would I have been 9-4. I would have been perfectly fine with sucking as much as I did.
Brent Uhrig, from Omaha, Neb., was the one person to go 12-1 this week and win this week's contest.
Uhrig joined a growing list of Nebraskans who have beaten
"I'm pretty knowledgeable about college football, growing up in Nebraska." Uhrig said.
ne in Kick the Kansan.
I guess that makes sense; football is religion in Nebraska.
So far, we've had no repeat winners, but Uhrig claimed that his roommate, Jim Lusk, stole Uhrig's picks when he won last week. If that's the case, I could have a repeat winner on my hands by next week if I don't get back on track.
This week it should be easier because there are fewer teams with byes, and conference play is in full swing.
The fact that it's easier for me also means it's easier for you.
If you've played occasionally, or never before, come on out for this week. It should be a good one.

TURNOVER: Missed field goals key once again as Jayhawks fall
Landon Harness/KANSAN

Senior linebacker Clark McCracken and sophomore running back John Randle recover a punt fumble in the first half of Saturday's game against Texas Tech. The fumble recovery lead to a 22-yard field goal by freshman kicker Scott Webb.

win in Saturday's game.
During the Jayhawks first offensive series they received the ball at their own four-yard line and managed to move it to the 10-yard line of the Red Raiders in three downs. When they went to punt the ball, junior linebacker Kevin Kane rolled the ball along the ground, under freshman punter Kyle Tucker and out the back of the end zone. If not for those two points, Kansas may have been on the winning side of a 30-29 victory.
Another costly play occurred when coach Mark Mangino decided to attempt a two-point conversion with 48 seconds remaining in the first half. Kansas was leading 30-5. Had Kansas made the extra point, it could have at least forced a 31-31 tie and sent the game to overtime.
"That's what our plan was. That's the way we set up our chart, with the point system that our staff puts together. That's why we did it," Mangino said of his decision.
And there's what seems to have become a recurring problem for Kansas: missed field goals. Freshman Scott Webb, in his debut as the starting kicker, went 1-3, missing one attempt from 45 yards and one from 43. The one field goal he made was from 22 yards out.
Mangino's decision to kick the 45-yard field goal seemed to directly counter the comments he made both before and after the game. Both he and his staff
Mangino said Webb would maintain the job and there was no thought of starting to senior kicker Johnny Beck. Beck's missed field goals were the deciding factor in last week's loss to Northwestern.
said that they believed Webb's range was about 40 yards.
However, on a fourth and three from the Texas Tech 28-yard line, Mangino elected to send his kicker out to attempt a 45-yard field goal. The kick was no good.
The offense built a 30-5 lead before the half, but went quiet in the second half. While Texas Tech scored 26 unanswered points, the Kansas offense was relatively dormant. They racked up 142 yards of total offense, but could not sustain drives.
Texas Tech's game-winning drive came as a direct result of the second of sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann's three interceptions. After Texas Tech's offense got back on the field, they took a third down with six yards to go all the way to the end zone. Junior Taurean Henderson rushed 70 yards for the game winning score.
"They executed, we didn't come through, and they made a big play," junior corner Theo Baines said. "We didn't wrap up, we didn't make the tackle."
Texas Tech, generally known as a team that gains yardage by going through the air, completely abandoned the pass in the fourth quarter.
Senior quarterback Sonny Crumbie attempted just five passes and connected on zero. Instead, the Red Raiders amassed a season-high 182 rushing yards. Their previous high came last week against Texas Christian.
Kansas' 30 points came from a 36-yard pass and a one-yard rush by sophomore running back John Randle. In addition to Webb's one good field goal, Kansas notched one other touchdown on a pass by sophomore corner Charles Gordon to Brandon Rideau.
Barmann gave the ball to
Gordon, who faked a run, then completed a half-back toss 20 yards to Brandon Rideau in the end zone.
Both Kansas' offense and defense tried to accept responsibility for the loss after the game.
The Jayhawks will travel to Lincoln, Neb. next weekend to face-off against the 2-1 Cornshucks in their conference
"We're one play, two plays away from being 4-0," Kane said. "We can't let the big plays happen at the end of the game.
"It was a little wrinkle we put in this week," Barmann said. "It happened to work pretty well."

Game notes
TEXAS TECH VS KANSAS
Junior kick returner Greg Heaggans, who was arrested on suspicion of DWI shortly before the game at Northwestern, suited up and took kicks in practice but did not see playing time.
If Kansas is to go to a bowl, it must win four of its next seven games. The team has home contests against Texas, Kansas State and Colorado. Even if it wins all those it must also win one of its four road games against Nebraska, Iowa State, Oklahoma or Missouri. The last time Kansas beat any of those teams on the road was at Missouri in 2000.

ST. LOUIS — Even without Deuce McAllister, the New Orleans Saints' running game is in good hands.
Stecker, who entered the game with 443 yards in fourplus seasons, was supposed to split time with Ki-Jana Carter, and the Saints figured to struggle on the ground with McAllister sidelined by a high ankle sprain. Stecker ended up with 106 yards on 19 carries, including a 42-yard touchdown run.
Sophomore corner Charles Gordon took several snaps on offense. He threw a pass, caught a pass, returned punts and also served in his traditional role as corner.
Stecker's performance added balance for the Saints, who also got big games from Aaron Brooks, kicker John Carney and defensive end Charles Grant, who had three of his team's five sacks.

The Buffalos attempted a comeback later in the second
The 1-1 conference record for the Jayhawks put them in a tie for fourth in the Big 12 with Colorado and Baylor. The three teams in front of the Jayhawks are Texas A&M (3-0), Nebraska (2-0) and Missouri (2-0). Kansas' overall record is 9-2.
The Jayhawks' next conference foes will be Texas Tech and Baylor. The Jayhawks take on the Red Raiders 4 p.m. Friday and the Bears 1 p.m. Sunday. Both games will be played at home at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Student reports rape
The KU Public Safety Office is investigating a reported rape that occurred between 9 p.m. Thursday and 6:30 a.m. Friday in McCollum Hall, Capt. Schuyler Bailey said. The 18-year-old female KU student made the report about 4 p.m. Friday.
The safety office had not questioned the suspect as of yesterday afternoon, Bailey said. The suspect, who Bailey said the safety office had a partial identification for, was an acquaintance of the female student. The female student and the suspect were at a gathering, which was held in a room in McCollum Hall. Bailey said the rape happened after people left the gathering, and the rape did not occur in the female student's room.
The female student sustained no physical injuries from the rape, and both the female student and the suspect had both been consuming alcohol, Bailey said. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he could not comment on the rape because it is still under investigation.
"People are responsible for their own behavior, whether drinking or not." he said.
Stoner said alcohol in residence halls is a direct violation of student housing policies.

Nathan Logan, sports information director, said, from what he understood. Heaggans was assaulted, unprovoked. by an unknown assailant.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2004
Heaggan, who was arrested for drunk driving Sept. 16, told police that he didn't know who hit him and he did not want to press charges.
KU athletics officials said football coach Mark Mangino was looking further into the club incident.
A staff member of Abe and Jake's Landing called police early Sunday morning after a fight broke out on the dance floor. Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said about 300 people were involved in verbal and small physical altercations in the parking lot when Lawrence police arrived at the club, 8 E. Sixth St., shortly after the incident was reported at about 1:15 a.m.
Kansan staff writer Miranda Lenning contributed to this report. Edited by Steve Vockrodt.
Ward said police could not tell if the 300-person altercation in the parking lot was a result of the fight that occurred inside. Police did not immediately know what caused the brawl. Heaggans was dancing when at least one person punched him in the face, and he was then punched several more times by one or more persons. Ward said.
The 300-person crowd broke up as police arrived, Ward said. Greg Heaggans, KU football wide receiver, was listed as the victim of the initial fight inside Abe and Jake's Landing.
Heagans suffered lacerations under his right and left eyes as well as his lower lip. Ward said officers located Heagans in his car in the parking lot.

Student's car stolen from parking garage police chase ends with two arrests
BY HENRY C. JACKSON AND ROSS FITCH editor@kansan.com editor@kansan.com STAFF WRITERS
Police took a white male with a shaved head and a white woman with blonde hair into custody after a car chase that spanned from Sixth and Iowa streets to 12th and Indiana streets.
The Lawrence Police Department has two suspects in custody after a KU freshman's car was stolen as she was held at gunpoint in the parking lot adjacent to GSP-Corbin Hall last night.
Police said the incident started at 8:49 p.m., when a KU freshman parked her car in the lower level of the parking lot adjacent to GSP-Corbin.
As she walked away from her car, the male suspect approached her with a gun, demanding she give him her book-bag and the keys to her car, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office.
The woman gave the man her keys and bookbag and began to flee.
As the woman left the scene, a gunshot went off as the suspect entered the victim's car, a white sedan. Bailey said the gun was not pointed at the victim, nor was anyone hurt by the gunshot, which residents of Corbin-GSP could hear.
Once she was inside her residence hall, the victim called police.
As she walked away from her car, the male suspect approached her with a gun, demanding she give her bookbag and the keys to her car. The woman gave the man her keys and bookbag and began to flee.
Lawrence police spotted the victim's car near Sixth and Iowa streets, Bailey said, and began to pursue the vehicle through town on a four-minute chase that abruptly ended
near 12th and Indiana streets
With police in pursuit, the white car turned down the wrong side of a median on 12th Street — a dead end — and came to a stop. Police did not say whether the car crashed or just stopped.
At least four police cars came to a
stop behind the car and a handful of officers exited their cars with guns drawn, according to several witnesses, including Dylan Phillips, Lawrence junior, and Adrian Taylor, Wichita junior, who were working at Yello Sub, 624 W. 12th St., nearby.
Phillips and Taylor were not able to see the police pursue the suspects in the car, but police eventually emerged from the hill on 12th Street with a white male about 6 feet tall wearing a tank top and jeans. Phillips and Taylor said.
The suspect appeared agitated, Phillips and Taylor said, until he was put in a police car, when he seemed to be in a more mischievous mood.
As the police car drove away, the male suspect made faces at onlookers and a television crew that had arrived at the scene.

Dole director a veteran in presidential politics campaign strategy
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
White House political director for former President Ronald Reagan and political strategist for former Senator Bob Dole, Bill Lacy began as director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Sept. 7.
Lacy was the national political director for the GOP in 1984 and California senior consultant in 1988 for then Vice President George H. W.Bush. Lacy was a fellow at the Institute of Politics for the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in 1991. After resigning as chief campaign strategist for Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, Lacy moved to Olathe where he ran Sophie Mae Candy Company with his father. Staff writer Stephanie Farley sat down with Lacy to question him on his political interests, advice and memories of a successful career.
O: Were you involved in politics as a student
A: I was very involved in college and that's one of the reasons I'm so excited about being here at the University. It's kind of like what I've said to other people. I would like to make this into the kind of place that I would've enjoyed
Q: Were you involved in politics as a student at Vanderbilt University?

like the Dole insurer.
Q: How would you respond to someone saying their vote does not count in Kansas, a primarily Republican state at this time?
Q: What's your take on voter participation?
A: This is not just directed at students and young people, but across the board,
I think that we, as Americans, do a fairly poor job of getting people involved and we do a poor job at participating in politics. There are too many people who are not voting. I don't think you ever see a situation in this country
A: Governor Kathleen Sebelius. If you are a Democrat and you are balking at getting involved in politics because the Democrats never win, then there's a clear example of a Democrat who won. The ebb and flow of politics in which states are Republican and which states are Democrat is really quite remarkable in our history. I had the opportunity to run the last successful Republican presidential campaign in California, which was 1988. The last three years, the
Democrats have trounced the Republicans in California. Now is that a permanent trend? Probably not. But does it show you clearly that a state can be considered a Republican state for a number of years and then switch over? Yes.

Forum to advocate teaching evolution in public education
Jack Krebs is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a forum promoting the value of evolution in science standards at 7:30 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. Krebs is a member of the state science standards review committee and a high school science teacher.
Hume Feldman, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said it was important for the state to take a stand in favor of teaching evolution, geology and cosmology in K-12 education.
Feldman thought it was important to not use the Bible as a text for scientific knowledge.
"We have to take a stand and say this is not science, it's a myth," he said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway will make the opening remarks at the event tomorrow, which is sponsored by the department of physics and astronomy, the department of chemistry, the department of geology, the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, the department of molecular biosciences, the division of biological sciences, the Center for Science Education, the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center and the office of the chancellor.

The war in Iraq is the number one issue in this year's election for Michael Berry, Lawrence junior. Berry is in the reserves. He said that he enlisted to get financial aid to go to college.
Sorority, fraternity to host open debate on the election
"I needed help to pay tuition," Berry
said, "I can't afford it."
Social and state issues, such as education and the economy, are also on Berry's list of concerns.
"It's election year and a lot of people need to be politically informed," Berry said.
This is why the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma and sorority Zeta Phi Beta are hosting a debate on election 2004 said Berry, Phi Beta Sigma member.
The debate will be between KU Young Democrats and KU College Republicans at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Courtside Room in the Burge Union, 1601 Irving Hill Road. Questions will be prepared by the executive board of Zeta Phi Beta, but there will be time for the audience to ask questions as well. Each group debating will have three members.
The first group will get two minutes to answer the question, then there will be a one minute rebuttal and 30 seconds for a second rebuttal. Students can register to vote after the debate. The hosts hope that everyone will feel welcome to come.
Every year the Zeta Phi Beta sorority does helps students on politics, said Candace Haines. St. Louis senior and president of National Pan-Hellenic Council, the governmental board of some multicultural fraternities and sororities. This is the sorority's first debate. Haines said.
"We want a diverse audience at this debate." Berry said.
"It is important to have this debate because some people on campus don't know what is going on in politics or just choose based on their parents' opinions," Haines said.
"It is important for people to stay informed and know that your vote counts," Halnes said.

U.S.troops work for control of Baghdad neighborhood
WORLD
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Six months after Sadr城 erupted in rebellion, U.S. forces are launching a renewed campaign to wrest control of the vast Baghdad neighborhood from radical Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's forces.
"We're going fishing tonight," said one major yesterday as a column of U.S. tanks and Humvees crept up dimly lit, trash-strewn streets into one of Iraq's most tenacious bastions of insurgency.

Above the seething slum of 2 million people unmanned aircraft known as Predators are spotting for the "fish."
Down below, perhaps on rooftops or up dark alleys near the U.S. force, Maj. Hugh McGloin suspects young men with mobile telephones are watching and warning their fellow insurgents ahead of the column. Surprise is difficult in Sadr City, says the battalion operations officer with the 1st Cavalry Division.
The gun-mounted Humvees draw up expectantly in a semicircle. The Predators have sounded an alarm. An AC-130 gunship sails high overhead. Then it unleashes torents of machine gun fire, sounding like a pneumatic drill juddering through the sky.

From a distance of five feet, an untrained eye might mistake Margie Kuhn's illustration for a photograph because the painting looks so real. Her illustrations, depicting candy wrappers, will be displayed as part of the 2004 Design Department Faculty Exhibition.
The show, which showcases what professors do outside the classroom, will be open through Oct. 8 in the Art and Design Gallery in the Art and Design Building.
Kuhn, a lecturer in the basic studies department who teaches color theory and basic design, said she spent several days making her
illustrations with water colors and colored pencils and that she had analyzed contemporary artifacts for about six or seven years.
The exhibition displays the work of faculty in the design department, which includes ceramists, industrial designers, illustrators, photographers, metallsmiths, textile designers, graphic designers, jewelry designers and interior designers.
"It's important to the public and students to know the caliber of the educators we have on staff," said Greg Thomas, design department chairman. "There's a myriad of disciplines that people can see."
Thomas said many students chose to attend a university based on the quality of the faculty in their field.
Thomas became the chairman of the design department on Aug. 1. Previously, he spent the last 50 years in Los Angeles working at his own firm and teaching design at the University of Southern California.
"It's nice for them to see what their teachers are doing," Kuhn said.
She said the show was a great opportunity for instructors to receive feedback on their work. Kuhn said students learned about placement and symmetry in her classes. Her class will have a scavenger hunt in the gallery to learn about the different mediums of design.
Luke Jordan, a lecturer in photography, displayed prints he recently took on his son's first day of sixth grade. He said he
liked to find new ways to shoot thins he was familiar with.
"It's important for students to think the people they're working with are practicing in their fields." Jordan said.
"One of the things that's required of students is to be flexible and versatile," Jordan said.
He shoots prints for the University Theatre on a regular basis. He compared the show to listening to a musician play before taking lessons from that musician.
Jordan said students learned a variety of skills that would help when looking for a job after graduation.
"There are plenty of jobs out there for students who are well-educated." Thomas said. "Very few businesses want to hire stu

He said he planned to work with other schools on campus such as the business school to create versatile designers.

Car theft, damages rampant in two fraternity parking lots
BY AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence Police Department has no leads in a string of car thefts near KU fraternity houses Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Though no official plans have been made, security is on the minds of men in these chapters.
"Lawrence typically has a lot of auto burglaries every day," said Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department.
He said most burglaries occurred when doors were left unlocked because burglars tried to hit as many cars as possible in a short amount of time. Burglar will rummage through cars but usually take loose change, cell phones and stereo equipment, Ward said. The KU Public Safety Office will not investigate these crimes because fraternity houses are not on KU property. Capt. Schuver Bailev said.
Sam Pickle, Overland Park
junior and president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said although the break-ins might not have all been reported, he estimated there had been six or eight break-ins since the beginning of the school year.
He said the chapter was looking into installing security cameras to prevent further theft.
Pickle said the burglar slit the tops of Jeeps and used a slim-jim to break into other vehicles.
Eric Corder's car was broken into through the trunk and won't open with the key anymore. The theft is valued at $900 worth of stereo equipment and CDs.
Prairie Village junior and vice president of interfraternal relations for the Interfraternity Council Executive Board.
He said his car was parked in the spot closest to the house and there was a fraternity member sleeping outside when it happened. He estimated the theft took place around 6 a.m. on Sunday.
"The guys were pretty gutsy to do it," Corder, Ottawa junior and Sigma Phi Epsilon member, said.
Cody Bennett's 1999 GMC Yukon Denali was stolen around 5 a.m. last Monday morning. The police returned Bennett's SUV with almost $21,000 in damages and stolen property.
"There's not a whole lot you can do," said Greyson Clymer,
"The police found it before I knew it was gone," said Bennett, Vail, Colo., freshman and Phi Delta Theta member.
He said there were $13,000 in damages to his SUV's interior. Burglar stole his $7,000 stereo system along with about $600 in CDs, Bennett said.
Clymer said there was an alarm system at Phi Delta Theta's facility, 1621 Edgehill Rd., where 90 men live, but there weren't many safe places to park.
"On Edgehill Road there's a huge string of cars not being watched," Clymer said. "It actually can happen."

Car burglary common crime in city
- Edited by Steve Vockrodt
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said Lawrence Police arrested a 17-year-old, at Park 25 Apartments, 2401 W. 25th St. He reportedly had stolen items on his person at the time of his arrest. Lawrence police did not release his name because he was a minor.
Silence has filled the void of music in Jay Gray's red 1995 Chevy Blazer since his MP3/CD stereo was stolen Thursday.
Ward said they are investigating other leads. Gary's car was locked
The Lavrence senior said it's been a rough few days and that he felt naked without it. He can't afford to replace the $300 stereo that was a partial 21st birthday present, and he probably won't be able to until at least next semester.
While car thefts and car burglaries have been commonplace recently around Greek houses by campus, Gray is one of dozens of students and Lawrence residents who have been victimized outside of the campus boundaries.
and he parked about a yard away from a street light, but that didn't stop someone from taking his stereo, CDs and backpack that held three communications books and two notebooks.
Ward said keeping a vehicle parked in a secure place and locked can minimize chances of victimization. But in Gary's case, a street light and locked doors didn't necessarily ensure safety for belongings.
Gary said someone opened his car by shoving a screwdriver under his handle. Ward said that method was not very common. Burglarms usually look for open doors or break windows because both techniques take only seconds to get into a vehicle, Ward said.
CD players are the most commonly stolen item in what Ward calls a target-rich environment where a lot of people have expensive equipment in their cars.
"Of all the crimes in Lawrence, this is probably the one people will face," he said.
Ward said it was fairly common to see license plates stolen off of cars as well. More than five were stolen last week throughout the city. Capt. Schulyer Bailey, KU
Public Safety Office, said KU parking passes were common items stolen from KU lots.
Students should lock their doors and make sure valuables were out of sight, he said.
"There are a lot of places in town where people can sell them." he said.
Gary had his bookbag and notebooks returned to him a day after he was burglarized. A Lawrence resident returned the items after she found them in her front lawn. His CDs and CD player were still missing.
Ward said owners often cold not be identified for recovered items.
The items stay in the evidence custodial area at the Lawrence Police Department for at least two years, or if a case is pending, until a case is over.
After that, the department either sells the items in an auction or destroys them.
But until then, or until Gray can afford a new CD player, Gray said he would listen to a portable MP3 player while driving, despite it being illegal in Kansas.

Journalistic credibility tainted by Rather's mistake
The character of journalism is under siege in the United States. Many are aware of the scandals involving Jayson Blair and Michael Finkel at The New York Times for fabricating quotes and information.
Even the country's largest newspaper, USA Today, has been touched by this shame, resulting in the resignation of its editor, Karen Jurgensen.
It appears that this cardinal sin of the journalistic profession has moved onto broadcast media, with the use of forged documents by Dan Rather of CBS in an attempt to examine the National Guard history of President Bush.
In the last week we have witnessed a heavy stream of political debate on the many ways in which Rather betrayed his viewers, his employer, and journalists the world over with his poor judgment.
It is a central rule to check out sources for any story. If a journalist cannot confirm information that pertains to his story, it should be disregarded and not used until verified.
Without even checking the documents, Rather used them to attack President Bush's record during his years in the National Guard. He was dangerously close to committing libel.
Given that this country is in an election year, with the presidential election two months away, Rather's attempt to discredit Bush could be construed as fitting a private political agenda.
Not only did he mislead the American people, but some critics say he may have failed to check his sources because the story supported his own political bias.
With his decision to forget reporting protocol, Rather betrayed a trust that America needed in
order to feel secure in what information they were given.
CBS, naturally, came to the defense of one of its most well-known reporters and anchors. Whether they were in on the scandal as well is debatable. Regardless their reputation and credibility as a news outlet was damaged. Countless newspapers, magazines and radio and television outlets have criticized CBS for defending for so long what was obviously false. Either out of loyalty or complicity, CBS will bear the brunt of the guilt along with Rather.
Journalists feel extremely violated by this scandal. Was it not enough that many newspapers were struggling with plagiarism and fabrication? The profession is already struggling to maintain its dignity and integrity.
Journalism fulfills an important role in society. It informs the public, helping everyone become a true citizen of our community, state nation and world. This role is central to democracy and the freedom of expression.
To be constantly surrounded by scandals such as these only leads people to believe journalists are no better than liars. Journalists give the impression that we only wish to control people's minds, rather than let them know the facts and come to their own conclusions.
Had Rather recanted and admitted his shortcomings earlier, the world may have overlooked his transgression. His persistence in asserting the validity of the documents only worsened his situation and brought more attention to it.
Perhaps, in the end, such events are needed. It reminds everyone, citizen and journalist alike, how much we rely upon honest and neutral reporting to make our decisions in the world.

Banning books threatens society
These are dangerous times. While many different sources in the media and public eye inform America of the threats to her safety every day, personal safety is not the only thing in danger at the moment. One of the most fundamental rights provided by the Constitution is under attack.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Section 215 of the Patriot Act authorizes the government to order the release of reading records, including those of bookstores and libraries. In addition, it gives the government the right to ban any writings which it deems dangerous or threatening. Current works under attack range from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to Madeleine L'Engle's children's novel A Wrinkle in Time.
The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." However, that is exactly what this statute of the Patriot Act serves to do. We Americans must stand up against this unconstitutional censorship.
Most goals of the Patriot Act are admirable, but Section 215 is an exception. Those for Section 215 have cited numerous Supreme Court cases as supportive. The prominent case among these is Krishna vs. Lee, which dealt with the solicitation for money and distribution of literature in airports.
GUEST COMMENTARY
There is nothing in Krishna vs. Lee
RYAN GOOD opinion@kansan.com
that would support the banning of books on any level. In the decision, justices ruled that in a non-traditional venue for speech, solicitation can be banned. But they also ruled that a ban on literature, even in a non-traditional venue, is unreasonable. This act is banning books from the shelves of libraries and bookstores — hardly non-traditional places to find them.
In recognition of the continuing struggle against the censoring of books, several publishers and literary organizations sponsor Banned Books Week, which started Saturday and ends Friday.
Banned Books Week is receiving little publicity on campus, but don't let that devalue its importance. Every member of the University needs to participate.
Contact the American Booksellers Association and pledge your signature to its national petition to amend the Patriot Act and remove Section 215. Once one million signatures are
pledged, the petition will be forwarded to Congress. Write directly to Sam Brownback, Pat Roberts or your home state's senators and demand the abolition of Section 215. Donate to or volunteer for the American Library Association, the American Booksellers Association, the American Civil Liberties Union or any of the numerous other entities dedicated to the elimination of censorship.
Most importantly, read a book that has historically been banned. It includes works such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Hamlet by Shakespeare.
This is an issue affecting not only everyone alive today, but future generations of readers as well. Author Judy Blume recently wrote "It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."
Only when Americans demand change will this violation of our First Amendment rights cease.
Good is an Overland park junior in journalism and chemistry. He is a member of the Kansan Editorial Board.
Swing into state of pre-teen issues
GUEST PERSPECTIVE
Kansans already know what the results will be on Nov. 2. No matter how many of us march off to the polls determined to not have another four years with a president who prays to a "higher father" when there's a big decision to make, George W. Bush is going to win Kansas' vote. A parallel phenomenon will happen in New York, where Bush votes don't count.

If the president was elected by popular vote, Kansans would have a reason to vote based on important issues such as the economy, health care and the war in Iraq. Instead, thanks to the electoral college, Kerry supporters in Kansas can vote for superficial reasons. Think of it as voting for Homecoming king.
Here is one shallow voter's guide for the presidential election of 2004:
Lookalikes: Bush is a dead-ringer for Alfred E. Neuman of Mad magazine or Howdy Doody. The president should not look more at home on the cover of Mad than Newsweek, or bear any resemblance to a puppet. Kerry has been compared to Odo the Shapeshifter from Star Trek Deep Space 9 and Lurch from the Addams Family. Sure, they may not be completely human, but at least they have an air of mystery about them.
Grammar: This is hardly fair. Bushisms were funny the first few months of Bush's presidency ("Our priorities is our faith"), but now they're just sad — or frightening." Nuke-you-
Running mates: Dick Cheney is the grouchy grandpa who yells at anybody who walks on his lawn. John Edwards has better hair — and a better tan than most of us. Who would you rather sit next to on an airplane? Ten bucks says Cheney has halitosis.
lur" from a guy whose finger is on the nuclear trigger? In contrast, Kerry's Kennedyesque "ID-ers" seem like harmless regional affectations, and a Hollywood as Bush's "Yalls".
Nicknames: Bush: Familiar ones are "W" or "Dubya." More insightful is Molly Irvins' "Shrub." "W" also stands for "Wrong," according to Kerry. Kerry's nicknames are "Lanky Yankee" and "Johnny." This is a close one, perhaps we should ask for a vote count by the Florida secretary of state, backed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Favorite food: Some of Bush's are anything Mexican or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Kerry's favorite is chocolate chip cookies, not much better. Maybe they're afraid to reflect a sophisticated palate, lest they be labeled girlie men. But

Pets: Kerry has a yellow canary named Sunshine, Bush has two dogs named Barney and Spot, as well as two cats. The dogs could make a meal out of Sunshine in a second. For Kerry to decrease his wimp-factor, he should get a dog, preferably a pit bull.

Height: Psychology Today reported that in elections, height and age may matter more than professional qualifications. Bush is 5 feet 11 inches and Kerry is 6 feet 4 inches. That isn't counting Kerry's hair. Bush's cowboy boots may get him up to 6 feet, but Kerry still toweres over him.

Athletics: Watch out. Kerry is extreme! Kiteboarding, sailing, skiing, ice hockey, cycling, windsurfing and more! He was even on the 1998 cover of Windsurfing magazine. Bush is a runner. Big deal. So were Gore and Clinton.
Fashion: Bush poses for photo opportunities in full western gear: cowboy hat, big belt buckle and jeans. Don't be fooled, the country look is a costume. The Bush family hails from New England. So does Kerry, who, when not in a suit, looks uncomfortable in jeans.
So go ahead, gloss over the real issues. Even if these issues aren't what really matters, don't let the electoral college have all the fun.

Wahlmeir sat in the armory near the Great Bend airport with two of his fellow soldiers, Staff Sgt. Joseph Shuey of Great Bend and Sgt. Michael Potter from Hoisington.
All three are preparing for their third trip abroad with the Guard. Peacekeeping missions in Bosnia in 1996 and Kosovo in 2000 have prepared them for the work they will do when they arrive in Iraq in a few months.
The orders are for 545 days of duty — more than 15 months away from their families, twice as long as each of their previous missions.
Although they are experienced soldiers, it's not any easier to leave their families the third time around.
"I'm getting more used to him
preparing to go," said Darla Shuey, Joseph's wife. "But emotionally, it never gets easier."
Their unit — Battery E (Target Acquisition), 161st Field Artillery — uses radar to track enemy fire.
In the past, the unit's soldiers have tracked snipers and mortar fire. Once they identify the source of the shooting, other troops attempt to take out those sites. They will do the same in Iraq.
Because the soldiers wear a patch that looks like cross hairs on their left shoulders, some of the Kosovars thought they were snipers.
Shuey and Potter will work in the back of a Humvee, in a contraction that "looks like a camper shell on the back of a pickup." Potter said.
"That's the only way I know how to describe it," he said.
They'll be in relative comfort at work. Wahlmeier will work in a large, air-conditioned building. The Humwee will be air-conditioned as well. Shuey said.
"It's really more for the electronics than for us," Shuey said. "It won't be too bad, though."
The battery is a mixed group, with new soldiers who have never been deployed. Others have been to the Persian Gulf before; others are like these
three men and have been deployed but not to that area.
"We all try to help each other out," Shuey said. "Our experience with what we've done before helps us to know how to protect ourselves better. We pass that along in our training."
Darla Shuey is in charge of the "family readiness" regiment. She and other family members stick together during deployments.
The families at home operate under the same strategy, the soldiers said.
Training sessions are available to help wives get used to paying bills or keeping a budget, especially if those were tasks delegated to their husbands.
A teddy bear signed by each soldier will be the mascot, proudly displayed at each function.
"I've made lots of friends here," she said. "We do a lot together. And there are some wives who have never gone through this, so those of us who have will help them out."
Special events at the armory will provide opportunities for fellowship and support.
"If something happened to me, my wife could run the house," Shuey said. "If something happened to her, I'd have to hire someone to help me."
Moments later police walked up the hill with a second suspect, Phillips and Taylor said, a blonde-haired woman who was about 5-foot-7 wearing a white tank top and pajama pants. Bailey said there were no injuries during the entire incident, but several witnesses said the woman was favoring one leg and grimacing in pain as she walked up the hill.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Bailey said the woman was not present when the KU student was robbed. The male suspect picked the woman up sometime between the gunshot and when police spotted the victim's car on Sixth and Iowa streets, Bailey said.
Before the chase started, the victim called her mother, a Lawrence resident.
HOLDUP: No injuries reported Car recovered at 12th and Indiana
The victim did not tell her mother that she was threatened with a gun.
Though shocked and scared, the victim's mother said she was relieved because the situation could have been a lot worse.
The victim's roommate was leaving the GSP-Corbin parking
lot when the victim called her, saying she had been held at gunpoint and had her car stolen.
"She was bawling, and I just ran over here," the victim's roommate said. "We've been best friends since we were 4 years old."
There are no security cameras in the area where the victim's car was stolen, Bailey said. Cameras have been proposed in the past for parking garage serving GSP-Corbin, a dimly lit multi-level garage near the residence halls.
Bailey said the process of installing cameras was under way before the incident.
"It's scary because we park our car there all the time," said Brittani Hall, Dallas freshman and GSP-Corbin resident.
Hall and a friend, Sonya Hargin, Mound City, Mo., freshman, were coming back to GSP-Corbin after getting ice cream when they heard a loud noise. They later found out it was a gunshot.
Hall and Hargin eventually made their way up to the picnic benches in front of Yello Sub, where several onlookers milled about as police secured the area around 12th Street.

HISTORY: Director worked with Reagan, Dole
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Q: What was former President Ronald Reagan like?
where you have 80 or 90 percent of the voters participating, but it needs to improve.
A: He struck me as being somebody who was very down-to-earth, very amiable and easy to get along with. He struck me as somebody who had a clear agenda of what he believed, but who was genuinely interested in hearing what students had to say about issues, too. In other words, how would I say, clearly conservative but a very open-minded person and very approachable. And I found that to be true in all my dealings with him.
Editor's Note: Lacy first met President Reagan at Vanderbilt in 1975 at a dinner with students and faculty. Reagan had been invited to speak at the University.
Q: What is your fondest memory of President Reagan?
A: One of my fondest memories actually is in 1988 when, during the presidential campaign, which I was running in California for then Vice President Bush, President Reagan agreed to come in and campaign at the very end, the day before the election. And I got to meet up with him and fly on Air Force One. And that was
his last day that he ever campaigned for anybody as President. And that was really neat to be there and be part of that and everything. You kind of had the feeling of being a part of history.
Q: What was working for former Senator Bob Dole like?
A: Bob Dole is somebody who I've always respected enormously for his service to the country and enjoyed being around. Dole has a kind of running joke that everybody who has ever worked for Bob Dole is part of Dole, Inc. or Dole Incorporated. People identify with that and they're very proud of that fact that they worked with him. The guy clearly is an American hero.
Q: Do you have any memories that
Q: Do you have any memories that stand out to you about Dole?
A He had a very strong sense of what was the right thing to do the commitment to do it regardless of the political consequences. Back here in '95 when President Clinton wanted to send troops to Bosnia, Sen. Dole sat down with a group of us who were involved in his campaign to kind of give us a chance to air our views. Now I basically said to him, "Senator, you understand what the polls say. The polls say that the American people are not interested in sending troops to Bosnia and you need to understand that there's going to be a political fallout and a
political cost if you choose to support the president." And he made it very clear that he fully intended to support the President. That he felt the President was the Commander In Chief and it was his responsibility to do so. And that it wasn't a political issue and that his election campaign was not the issue here; it was the issue of what was the right policy for the country. And, you know, I always admired that.
what were some of the perks of working in the White House?
A: Air Force One is neat. They've changed Air Force One since President Reagan. Air Force One was a 707 and is now a 747. I have not been on the New Air Force One, which is really quite a bit bigger than the old one. But that was neat because you had little cards laying out on the seat that you were supposed to sit down in. You had an assigned seat, but you didn't have a boarding pass or anything like that. You just had a little card that showed where you sat. And then they had little boxes of M&Ms with the presidential seal on them that you could munch on.
The other perk that was nice was the Executive Mess. That was where you could eat any of your meals. You could carry-out at dinner if you wanted to. That was really neat because you
could do breakfast and lunch there and that was right in the West Wing of the White House, which was very accessible from my office, in the Old Executive Office building which is literally just right across the street and inside the White House security compound. But that was nice because you could always go there and get a good breakfast or get a good lunch and you wouldn't actually have to leave the facility.
There was one day during the Reagan years that was really great. I forget which day it was, but it was "Mexican Day." They'd serve Mexican food that day and people would always go there and eat. And of course, everybody wants to eat in the White House, so anybody you wanted to have lunch with, you'd invite them and they come. They show up because they want to do that and that was a neat perk.
Q: What advice would you give President George W. Bush for the 2004 presidential campaign?
A: I think I would tell the President, if I were advising him, to be very focused and prepared on the debates. He tends to do very well in the debates because he tends to exceed his expectations. I would tell him that he should do that and otherwise. I think that there are some positive signs of what's going on right now for his campaign and it will be interesting to see how
that turns out
Q: What advice would you give Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry?
A: Try to come up with a creative theme to really utilize in some of the debates against the President. Try to take advantage of the debates, to stake out what are the key distinctions in policy and to use between he and the President during this campaign. Try to take advantage of that forum to delineate what he feels are his strongest issues and to do that probably with Iraq and to do that with the economy. And to do that in stark terms, showing his differences from the President.
that turns out.
Right now the President is enjoying an advantage because people feel that he's there and he's better qualified to deal with problems that, generally speaking, face us on a foreign level. It's very, very late in the process to actually make a difference. Debates typically don't decide the outcome of an election, but they can and they have. I think if I were in Bush's shoes, I would want to be prepared for the debates, get through them exceeding my expectations and pretty much stay on his current message. And if I were Sen. Kerry, I would want to use the debates to try to shake up the campaign and get people to take a different look at him.
Student's car stolen with someone inside

The male took off on foot after the Yukon stopped on Alumni Place, about a block away. Lawrence Police do not have any suspects in the case, Ward said. Neither the KU student nor her boyfriend sustained any injuries, and the vehicle was not damaged.

Lawrence Police arrested three adults and two minors Sunday night in connection to two Pizza Shuttle robberies, Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department said. The incident is being investigated further and Ward said more charges and possibly more arrests will be made. A male Pizza Shuttle employee was approached by several individuals Sunday night as he was delivering a pizza in the 3800 block of Shady Brooke Lane. He was beaten and the suspects took the pizza and his cell phone, Ward said.
LAWRENCE Delivery driver robbed but suspects arrested
Police traced the number the individuals used to order the pizza. The number came from Hy-Vee. 3504 Clinton Parkway.
Police were called back to Hy-Vee around 4 p.m. when the suspects were spotted at the store. One of the individuals resisted arrest and an officer had to use chemical spray to subdue him, Ward said. The officer sustained scrapes on his elbow and on his head.
Nikalaus Moore, 22; Cyrus Mueller, 19; and Phillip Richardson, 18, as well as two minors, are in custody. The suspects are being questioned about the theft Sunday night as well as a similar incident that happened last week with another Pizza Shuttle employee, Ward said.

A 19-year-old female University of Kansas student reported a theft and kidnapping to the Lawrence Police Department Thursday night in the 1400 block of Ohio, Sgt. Dan Ward said. The student and her boyfriend, a 22-year-old Avila College student, were traveling on Ohio Street when more than one person slapped the rear-view mirror and the body of the vehicle, a 1996 Yukon.
The student's boyfriend stopped the vehicle and got out of the car to assess if there had been any damage. A brown-haired male in his 20s then got into the vehicle with the KU student still in it and drove off.

Anti-war ad incorrect, Boyda says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Democrat Nancy Boyda yesterday denounced a television advertisement from Republican Rep. Jim Ryun that uses an image of Osama bin Laden and questions whether Boyda supports American troops abroad.
Boyda, challenging Ryun for the 2nd District seat, demanded that the congressman pull the ad and apologize. The ad notes that Boyda participated in anti-war protests before the conflict in Iraq began last year, then attempts to tie her to a national group critical of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan.
"She has an odd way of showing her support" for American troops, the ad says of Boyda.
"This ad is an out-and-out gutter attack and is the best evidence that he has lost his Kansas values and will now say anything to hold his seat," Boyda said during a news conference yesterday.
Ryun's campaign stood by the ad, which began appearing Friday on TV stations in Topeka and Pittsburg.
"We are not going to pull this ad," campaign manager Eric Haar said.
Ryun began airing this ad less than a week after the Boyda campaign began broadcasting a commercial accusing Ryun of trying to prevent the military from cracking down on fraudulent insurance sales to soldiers, citing letters he wrote to the Pentagon in 2003 and 2004. Ryun has said he had concerns about proposed regulations but has argued it's wrong for Boyda to suggest he sided with insurance companies over soldiers.
Boyda acknowledged participating in protests before U.S. and coalition forces invaded Iraq in March 2003. Stories in The Kansas City Star described her as active in the anti-war movement and said she helped organize weekly rallies in
Johnson County, where she was living.
Boyda told reporters: "People, good Kansas people, Republicans and Democrats, moderates, conservatives, liberals, had questions about whether we should go to war, had questions about whether there was a coalition broad enough at the time."
Last year, in justifying the war in Iraq, President Bush linked former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks carried out by bin Laden's Al Qaeda network.
Earlier this year, a bipartisan 10-member commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks found little evidence of collaboration between the ousted Saddam and Al Qaeda.
However, Ryun's ad suggested that Boyda organized pre-war protests with a group opposed to U.S. action in Afghanistan, where the military hunted for bin Laden.
The group is ANSWER
Coalition, with offices in Washington, D.C., and New York City, which has described U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and other nations as "occupation." ANSWER stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism.
It organized a January 2003 anti-war rally in Washington, D.C., in which Boyda participated. Boyda campaign manager Jeff English said she neither belongs to the group nor endorses its views.
"Jim Ryun is wrong to say that I did not support our troops. He is wrong to say that I did not support the war on terror, and he is wrong insinuate that I wouldn't do everything possible to defend our country, to rout out Osama bin Laden. It's a lie, and he knows that, and he needs to retract those statements," Boyda said.
Haar said the Ryun campaign did not know how long it will broadcast the ad, and added, "It's a factual ad."
Fort Riley soldiers charged with murder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Two U.S. soldiers have been charged with murder in the death of an Iraqi civilian, the 1st Cavalry Division announced yesterday.
A military statement identified the soldiers as Staff Sgt. Johnny Horne Jr. and Staff Sgt. Cardenas Alban, both from Company C, 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment from Fort Riley.
Fort Riley spokeswoman Sam Robinson said Horne, 30, of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Alban, 29, of Carson, Calif., were both on their second tour of duty in Iraq with the unit.
The military declined to provide details about the case, saying an investigation is ongoing.
The statement from the 1st Cavalry Division said the alleged incidents are not related to murder charges filed against Sgt. Michael Williams and Spc. Brent May from the same unit.
They were charged in the deaths of three Iraqis, the military announced last week. Williams was also charged with obstruction of justice and making a false official statement, the military said.
Horne joined the Army in September 1999 and arrived at Fort Riley in April 2003. Alban joined the Army in April 1997 and arrived at Fort Riley in December 1997.
Robinson referred all other questions to the 1st Cavalry Division officials in Iraq, adding that Fort Riley has learned little about the two incidents since they were first reported.
Yesterday's charges were the third set of murder charges filed in just over two weeks against soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — NBC chose the 50th anniversary of The Tonight Show on yesterday to announce that Jay Leno will be succeeded by Late Night host Conan O'Brien in five years — or thousands of jokes from now.
The unusual succession plan solves a delicate problem for NBC, blocking other networks from poaching O'Brien to move him to an earlier time slot.
Leno planned to make the announcement on yesterday's Tonight show.
AUGUST 1974
"In 2009, I'll be 59 years old and will have had this dream job for 17 years," Leno said. "When I signed my new contract, I felt that the timing was right to plan for my successor and there is no one more qualified than Conan.
"Plus, I promised Mavis I would take her out for dinner before I turned 60," the notoriously workaholic Leno said about his wife.
He knew that they wanted to keep O'Brien but that wouldn't be likely if Leno kept doing the job indefinitely.
ical respect. But Leno eclipsed Letterman among viewers in the 1995-96 season and hasn't looked back.
When they signed Leno to his latest contract extension, NBC executives said they asked Leno when he'd feel comfortable making a transition.
Leno's agreement to a 2009 exit gives him the chance to make a smoother transition than when he took over from Johnny Carson on May 25, 1992, said Aaron Barnhart, a Kansas City Star columnist who once ran a newsletter on late-night TV news. Leno was criticized then for not even mentioning his predecessor.
In the season that concluded last week, Tonight averaged 5.8 million viewers, a 2 percent increase over the previous year. Letterman's Late Show on CBS averaged 4.2 million, up 8 percent from the year before.
For his first few years at Tonight, Leno trailed the person he beat for the job — David Letterman — in ratings and crit-
Some in the industry privately thought it odd that Leno, who rarely if ever misses work, would willingly place a deadline on himself unless he was being pushed by NBC.
NBC executives were not commenting on yesterday.
But Barnhart said the experiences of Leno's good friend, Jerry Seinfeld, might have proved that there is life — and lucrative work — after giving up the TV gig of a lifetime.

Brad Anderson, left, and Hector Esparza walk past a boat that was washed ashore by Hurricane Jeanne, Sunday at the Everglades Adventure Marine in Pahokee, Fla.
"Seinfeld has proven how you can move beyond TV and continue to be as big and as popular and as in demand as ever without having to punch the clock every night," he said.
O'Brien's previous contract was expiring this year.
The last time he was up for a renewal, Fox tried to lure him with an earlier show, but O'Brien turned it down at the last minute. ABC, Fox and even CBS — if Letterman has any plans to retire himself in the next few years — might have been interested.
'Nature destroys it' again in Florida
In interviews, O'Brien, 41, has expressed a mixture of ambition and loyalty to NBC. He debuted in his current time slot in September 1993.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"There is the curiosity to take the show earlier," O'Brien told The New York Times last spring. "But if going to another network for more money still means being seen by fewer people, what are you doing? Then it's just an ego thing."
MELBOURNE, Fla. Hurricane Jeanne tore a fresh path of destruction as it finished its march up storm-ravaged Florida. The fourth hurricane in six weeks shut down much of the state and prompted recovery plans on a scale never before seen in the nation.
At least six people died in the storm as it plowed across Florida's midsection in a virtual rerun for many residents still trying to regroup from hurricanes that have crisscrossed the Southeast since mid-August.
Jeanne came ashore around midnight Saturday with 120 mph wind, striking the same area hit three weeks ago by Hurricane Frances and rocketing debris scattered by earlier storms. Roofs were torn off, stop lights dangled precariously and bridges were flooded from the mainland to barrier islands. About 2.6 million homes and businesses lost power, but some 800,000 had it restored by midday.
Jeanne was at barely tropical storm strength when its center moved over Georgia late yesterday morning, dumping up to 6 inches of rain. It later weakened into a tropical depression with steady winds near 35 mph.
The storm doused South Carolina and spawned tornadoes that damaged seven mobile homes and a building housing a Head Start center, said Cody Odom, of the Clarendon County Disaster Preparedness Agency. Four people were injured.
Frustration was obvious yesterday in Florida. Nicole jillard and Ed Holzer waited 20 minutes in their car with their 3- and 1-year-old children for two bags of ice, a case of bottled water and 12 Meals Ready to Eat at a Kmart parking lot in Stuart.
The drive-up service provided by the National Guard attracted a line of cars stretching at least a half-mile down U.S. 1, the coastal city's main thoroughfare.
Florida was the first state to withstand a four-hurricane pounding in one season since Texas in 1886.
"We fix it and nature destroys it and we fix it again," said Rockledge bar owner Franco Zavaroni, who opened his tavern to seven friends who spread mattresses on the floor among the pool tables to ride out the storm.
Irene Underwood, 88, waited at a Red Cross shelter in Melbourne for a ride to her sixth shelter since the hurricanes started. Her latest temporary home was being closed as emergency officials consolidated operations.
"I can't go home because I don't have any power. It's terrible." Underwood said.
Martin County Commissioner Doug Smith said yesterday that Jeanne left few buildings in his county unscarred because Frances had weakened them and subsequent rain from Ivan had saturated the ground.
At 2 p.m., the center was in southwestern Georgia south of Macon. It was moving north at
14 mph and was expected to move over the Carolinas.
About 50 homes in Valdosta, Ga., in the south-central part of the state, were evacuated early yesterday because of flooding. More than 76,000 Georgia homes and businesses were without power, and about 760 people staved in Red Cross shelters.
President Bush declared a major disaster area in 26 of Florida's 67 counties while FEMA officials said the hurricanes represented the largest relief effort in the agency's history.
More than 3,000 National Guard troops were deployed to aid relief efforts. Several counties, including Palm Beach and St. Lucie opened distribution sites yesterday for water and ice.
Jeanne follows Charley, which hammered Florida's southwest coast Aug. 13; Frances, which struck the same area as Jeanne Sept. 5; and Ivan, which blasted the western Panhandle Sept. 16. The three storms caused billions of dollars in damage and killed at least 73 people in Florida alone.
"I never want to go through this again," said 8-year-old Katie Waskiewicz, who checked out the fallen trees and broken roof tiles in her Palm Beach Gardens neighborhood after riding out Jeanne with her family. "I was running around the house screaming."
Jeanne was a Category 3 hurricane when it made landfall at Hutchinson Island, 35 miles north of West Palm Beach. Officials at the National Hurricane Center said the similar paths of Jeanne and Frances were possibly unprecedented.
With Jeanne dumping heavy rain, there was fear of flooding in the days to come in already saturated east and central Florida.
Most counties in South Carolina except the northeast corner were under a flood watch, and the U.S. Weather Service placed much of southern Georgia under a tornado watch. North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley declared a state of emergency and mobilized 300 National Guard soldiers.

Virgin Group to offer space flights
N328K
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SpaceShipOne is a privately developed manned rocket created by aviation designer Burt Rutan and funded by billionaire Paul Allen. British entrepreneur Richard Branson announced yesterday that his Virgin company plans to launch commercial space flights over the next few years in London with rockets designed by Rutan.
LONDON — Airline mogul and adventurer Richard Branson announced plans yesterday to boldly go where no private transport company has gone before into space.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Branson's Virgin Group said it would offer commercial space flights by 2007, with Branson himself joining the inaugural journey.
Branson is a high-school dropout turned flamboyant tycoon who has made several failed attempts to circle the world by hot-air balloon.
"It's just the kind of thing he absolutely loves, because it gets him maximum publicity," said David Learmount, operations and safety editor of Flight International magazine.
Branson. 54, announced a deal to license technology from Mojave Aerospace Ventures, the
firm owned by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen that bankrolled June's historic 90-minute space flight by the aircraft SpaceShipOne.
The Virgin craft will be based on Burt Rutan's design for SpaceShipOne, a stubby rocket-plane capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers.
SpaceShipOne cracked the barrier to manned commercial space flight in June by taking a 90-minute flight almost 62 miles above Earth, just over the distance scientists widely consider to be the boundary of space.
The company said it planned to begin construction of the first vessel next year and would offer flights by 2007. It will invest about $108 million in spaceships and ground infrastructure for the venture, it said. Fares will start at $208,000 for a two or three-hour suborbital flight.
Jeanne overwhelms Haiti
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GONAIVES, Haiti — Doctors are performing amputations without electricity or running water while waste from this city's shattered sewage system contaminates mud and floodwaters, infecting wounds that threaten to turn gangrenous.
More than a week after the passage of Tropical Storm Jeanne, the calamity in the northwest city of Gonaives has overwhelmed Haitians and foreign rescue workers.
Thousands remain hungry Jean-Claude Kompas, a New York doctor who rushed to his native Haiti to volunteer his services last week, says he has treated 30 people for gunshot wounds received in fights over scarce food. Another of his patients was a child whose finger was chopped off with a machete — possibly also over food.
Jeanne killed more than
1,500 and left 200,000 homeless in the northwest city of Gonaives. With another 1,000 people reported missing, the toll is sure to rise.
"It's sad but true that the missing will slowly be started to be counted among the dead," said Brazilian Army Gen. Augusto Heleno Ribeiro Pereira, in charge of a U.N. peacekeeping force in Haiti.
On Saturday, Pereira rushed 100 Uruguayan and 50 Argentine troops to Gonaives, where gangsters and ordinary citizens have been looting food aid. They reinforced 600 international troops and police in the city.
Still, Pereira said he could use more help to ensure security of food convys and at food distribution points, which he said increased from two to four yesterday for the 250,000 residents.
could possibly increase the aid distribution points," he said in a telephone interview.
"If we had help from the National Police of Haiti, we
But Haiti's police force remains demoralized, understaffed and poorly equipped since rebels chased them from their stations, killing dozens, in a February uprising that led to the ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Haitian riot police sent to help keep order last week were stoned by hungry and traumatized residents.
Pereira said many storm survivors are suffering from diarrhea while others, including many children, had infected wounds.
Some had gangrene and Argentine doctors had performed at least three amputations under primitive conditions, he said. Most injuries are gashes from collapsing roofs or pieces of zinc roof hidden by the mud that still covers the city, where most walk barefoot.
Palestinians killed in Gaza attacks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israelis killed seven Palestinians in attacks yesterday, including a Gaza airstrike that killed one militant and wounded a militia commander, who vowed revenge from his hospital bed.
The Gaza attack came as each side pummeled the other in the run-up to Israel's planned pull-out from the crowded seaside territory.
An Israeli helicopter fired a missile at a car east of the city of Khan Younis, killing Ali al-Shaar, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees, an umbrella of dissidents from several militant groups.
But Israeli military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the target was the other occupant of the car — Mohammed Abu Nasira, southern Gaza commander of the group.
Hundreds of people gathered around the white vehicle after the missile blast burned the passenger compartment, twisting the chassis but leaving the front half intact.
"The (Israeli) crimes will not pass without punishment," Abu Nasira told The Associated Press by telephone from the hospital, where he was being treated for serious burns. "I will continue my mission to terrorize the enemy (Israel), and we will win the battle."
An Israeli military statement said only that the raid targeted "a vehicle carrying a senior operative" responsible for many attacks.
The Popular Resistance group was behind explosions that destroyed two Israeli tanks and is thought by some to have been involved in a similar blast that destroyed a vehicle in a U.S. Embassy convoy a year ago, killing three security guards.

LACROSSE
Lacrosse wins, loses one at Oklahoma State
The KU women's lacrosse club team opened its fall 2004 season last weekend by splitting a pair of games at Oklahoma State.
in the first game of the day, Kansas overcame a late 8-9 deficit against Nebraska, scoring the last three goals of the game to win 11-9. Freshman Lisa Allen made the most of her collegiate debut with the Jayhawks by scoring seven times. Allen's output was the second-highest ever for a KU player. Also scoring for KU were sophomore Sarah Fiske, with two goals and an assist, and senior Laura Farley and junior Sam Key with one goal each.
In the second game of the day, Kansas jumped out to an early lead against host Oklahoma State before the Cowgirls regrouped behind a smothering zone defense to slowly erase the Jayhawks' loss.
With the game tied 6-6 halfway through the second half, Oklahoma State was able to pull away for a 9-7 victory. Allen once again led the KU offense with four goals. Fiske added two goals, Farley one. Senior Tasha Treifa had two assists and junior Karen Schmeltz added one.
GOLF: Greene does little else nothing but watch as Ward shoots under par
CONTINUED FROM 12A
On the day's first par three, Kevin sinks his first birdie of the afternoon. As he was sticking his tee shot about eight feet from the cup, I had my first run-in with a water hazard. I was able to save triple-bogey. Ouch.
4th Hole
10th Hole
Kevin was on pace for a nice round. My scorecard was on pace for the paper shredder in my parents' basement. We skipped the seventh and eighth holes, deciding to play them last to pass the horridly slow foursome in front of us. The tenth hole is a dream for anyone who can hit the ball as long as Kevin can. It's a dead-straight, extremely long par four. While Kevin tattooed his usual ho-hum 350-yard drive off the tee. I made the hole entertaining.
About 100 yards out from the green, I hit a
nine-iron (still don't know why) about ten yards over the green. The ball hit the cart path, and jumped to the street, where it took another bounce and landed on a friggin' roof. I'm glad I could be of some comic relief to Kevin while he was officially acing this course. Oh, and by the way, he set the course record by shooting an eight-under-par 64 about two weeks earlier.
Kevin's mindset reminds you of Van Wilder, when Van drops the line "You shouldn't take life too seriously. You'll never make it out alive."
11th Hole
Kevin is an excellent student who maintains an excellent GPA, but he does not stress school all that much. He still wants good grades and a degree, but he knows that golf is his life.
"I realized it about
Recently, it's been his play that has done all of the convincing. Kevin won three separate titles this summer, and it springboarded him into his first victory of the 2004-05 season, taking home the Kansas Invitational last week.
probably a year and a half ago," Ward says. "The hardest part was convincing my parents that this was what I wanted to do."
When you follow Kevin Ward for 18 holes on this course, you know that this is where he belongs. His name and a Jayhawk are inscribed not only on his golf bag, but even his see-thru putter grip. He spends almost 50 hours a week on a course, three to four days a week during the season traveling, not to mention early-morning conditioning sessions.
Some student athletes whine about no time for a social life, but Kevin is not that guy. Golf is life, and he's getting pretty
good at it, now that he's able to focus. Even if it means he can only go out one night a week, the reward at the end of the path could be worth the price.
There is no guarantee that Kevin Ward will make millions on the PGA Tour, or that he will even make it at all. Now, he's simply doing what every other college student wishes they could do — successfully pursuing what he loves.
Oh, and while we we're having this conversation, Kevin registered his third of four birdies on the afternoon.
13th Hole
Kevin first started playing golf when he was 12 years old and ultimately decided to pursue golf instead of baseball. Most kids pick up golf clubs because their parents play, but Kevin did it all on his own. He liked the fact that his success on
the course would rely more on personal performance and concentration.
When Kevin first came to Kansas, adjustment took some time. Until the beginning of the 2003-04 season, Kevin was struggling to live up to his potential. But everything he learned in those two years, he now passes down to his younger teammates. Among those lessons are how to manage time wisely and that you cannot live the stereotypical life of the 'average college student.'
Kevin has invested himself into golf. So has his family. They have all invested ungodly amounts of time, money and support into this game, but and Kevin admits that he wouldn't know what to do without it.
As we are finishing, Kevin is quietly firing an
18th Hole
impressive round. I'm just limping to the finish line, and having not looked at the scorecard in awhile, I'm just hoping to stay under 100. I'm trying to figure out how to just hit the ball straight, while Kevin's on his phone figuring out with his roommate, KU golfer Gary Woodland, what's for dinner. Kevin birdies the final hole to finish with a three-under-part total of 69 — or as it's known by the team, "the love number." I shot a 95.
For one afternoon, I got a look into the mind of someone different. Kids in America grow up with dreams of being professional athletes. Kevin is living that dream, and works hard to make sure it becomes a reality.
For me, it was a good story. For Kevin, it was just your typical day at the office.

country to help them set up a priority point system, so we are ahead of the game. We raised $30 million dollars last year and that takes a lot of time.
I spend a lot of time with the coaches, a lot of time with the kids. I serve on a lot of committees on campus.
My day is full. It is not just going to games. It is a very hectic schedule.
Editor's Note: The priority point system is a new way of organizing seating in Allen Fieldhouse that rewards loyal and paying fans.
Q: You've said before that when you got here, in some aspects, you felt as if the University was 10 or 15 years behind. What have you been able to do to get it up to speed?
I work a lot on the budget, we work with the coaches on the budget. We also have a lot of compliance issues that we have to deal with. We work on our future plans and facilities, so we travel to other facilities. We are really involved in day-to-day activities.
A: The infrastructure here was really behind. We had very few policy procedure manuals, and that takes a lot of time.
We had no head trainer, we had no head equipment manager and we needed more academic tutors. Those are things that I would have thought would have been in place a long time ago. We've worked on trying to upgrade that.
Q: Specifically, what have you done to advance the University of Kansas to where other universities are?
A: Fundraising — financially, is a huge deal. We were 11th in the country and now we are seventh in our budget.
Not that money is everything, and I don't want to sound like it is, but it is very important. We try to put the coaches in a position where they have the

support we have received from the faculty, the media and the donors. In order to raise $30 million, we have had to have a lot of people involved and that has been really gratifying."

resources to recruit, to travel, to get practice equipment.
We are reviewing all of our contracts with everyone from Nike, to ESPN and Coca-Cola. We have to look at every resource to help bring in financial assistance.
Q: What is it?
Q: What is on the agenda to keep the athletic department moving in that direction?
A: The point system is something that we are going to work on for the next three or four years.
We have so many things to look at that we haven't had a chance to look at because we have been so busy.
But on a very positive side, we have had so much success that we have gotten to spend a lot of time with our team.
Q: We are now about 15 months into your tenure at the University. So far, what has been most rewarding for you?
A: The commitment that the University has towards its athletic programs: I have been really pleased with the support we have received from the faculty, the media and the donors. In order to raise $30 million, we have had to have a lot of people involved and that has been really gratifying.
Probably the best thing I've enjoyed is getting to know the student athletes. Our grade point average was at an all-time high of 2.98; we had seven teams that had a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Q: What did you do to help the student-athletes achieve that academic success?
A: First of all, our personnel is awesome. We needed to improve our resources, so a lot of money that we spend went to academic resources. We hired more full-time people and added space where the kids could study and bought new computers. But most of all the kids make the big difference. But it also goes back to the coaches and recruiting. They bring in great kids, and they make great students. Academics is one thing that you can't underspend on. You spend and spend and spend until you get the best.
Q: The $30 million dollars is $25 million more than what was being brought in yearly before you got here. Where does that money come from?
A: From all over — alumni, and people who just like sports.
Q: What is on your plate for the next month?
A: Football is our number one priority. We are trying to raise money to build a new football office and locker room complex, but we still need another $15 or $18 million.
Obviously, watching volleyball and soccer, and we are working on our point system and men's basketball and hopefully getting women's basketball off to a good start.
So that is my number on priority and it will be until we get that.
Q: What is your favorite sport to watch?
A! All of them. I love them all.
It is all about the kids to me.

FANTASY: Online game includes female following, too
CONTINUED FROM 12A
there were an estimated one million fantasy participants for all sports according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.
This year, the association estimated 15 million fantasy participants for all sports, with 93 percent — nearly 14 million — playing fantasy football.
The allure of fantasy football varies from person to person and encompasses a diverse array of viewpoints. Some participate to learn more about the sport; some see the activity as a way to get together with friends.
Mark Zillman, Leavenworth senior, and Jason Hwang, Overland Park senior, are long-time fantasy footballers and enjoy the competitive nature of the game and revel in the trash talking that dominates their league message board.
Another valuable tidbit regarding fantasy football is its ability to reach out to both sexes.
Jimmy Chavez, San Antonio junior, was very blunt with his reason for playing, simply stating he enjoyed beating people he knew.
There is even a Web site devoted to the female fantasy footballer, aptly named femalefan.com.
The market research company Ipsos estimates that 25 percent of all fantasy footballers are women.
Women at the University of Kansas are involved in the fantasy madness too.
Britney Williams, York. Neb., senior, plays fantasy football along with her roommate.
She credited her "Big
Red"-based love for football and the interaction of fantasy football as reasons for playing.
Although the activity's popularity continues to grow, it is not embraced by everyone.
Take Grant Aikens, Chanute junior, who once played fantasy football but never caught the fever.
Aikens said he was amazed by the fanatical approach of his friends and the amount of time they spent trying to improve their team.
"It was like watching a soap opera," Aikens said, adding that he had no interest in returning to fantasy football any time soon.
Finally, there is graduate teaching assistant Micheal Struemph.
"Half of the male clientele participate in fantasy football," Struemph said.
He said it was commonplace to see guys with stat sheets and date books comparing players.
Struemph, who is not a fantasy footballer, does not quite understand the extent to which some take it.
No matter what draws an individual to fantasy football, there is no denying the game's ability to quench one's competitive thirst.
Moreover, whether non-fantasy footballers understand the dedication — or obsession — the game requires, there is no misunderstanding the sheer delight of spending a Sunday watching football with your friends.

Mercury, the planet of communication, goes into your sign. You're pretty good at this anyway, but now you're even better. Just remember not to use too many words.
You're undergoing a fascinating transformation now. Although you may feel pressured or stressed, you're on the verge of a breakthrough.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8.
You have more authority than you may realize. The changes that you're going through are affecting everyone. What changes? Well, you're rearranging your basic priorities. You're also helping to reveal the hidden truth.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 6.
Hold back for a day or two, and contemplate the dynamics. There's a tug-of-war going on, and it won't be smart for you to get in the middle.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8.
The more you study, the more you learn how to make your dreams come true. Homework and imagination are the keys to your success.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 5.
The money you're seeing now doesn't all have to go into savings. You ought to be able to spend a little bit on a special treat. It might have to come from the dime store, however. You still have to stick to a budget.

Not about the Benjamins

Perkins says money helps, but students behind athletic success
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRIER
In the midst of a nine-month controversy over his contract, Athletic Director Lew Perkins has been working to take the athletic department to new levels. Three Jayhawk teams rank in the top 21 in the country — men's golf, volleyball and soccer — and the football team went to a bowl game last year for the first time since 1995. The University
Daily Kansan sportswriter Miranda Lenning sat down with Perkins to talk about what has happened outside of the controversy.
Q: The athletic department has achieved great success since you got here. What have you done to get these programs where they are?
A: All of the success is attributed to the kids and coaches. I am here to be supportive and to give them the financial support they need. But the fact that we have done so well on the fields and
on the courts is really a tribute to the coaches and the kids.
coaches and the kids.
We have brought a different attitude here: We talk about winning. When people feel good about themselves, they do better. I think that is the thing that we have done to help the student athletes. Our coaches are happy right now
— they know that if they need something we are going to get it for them. We have a better academic situation, a better training situation, so all of those things help the mindset that we are tr-
ing to achieve. I think that is what we have been able to do to help.
O. What exactly do you do as an adult?

Q: What exactly do you do as athletics director?
What do you do to promote the University on a national level?
A: First, I serve on a lot of national committees. I speak to a lot of people; last week I was in Tucson, Ariz. We do a lot of proactive things to get ahead of what everybody else is doing. I spoke with seven or eight universities in the

Kansan sports columnist Ryan Greene putts on the 10th hole of Alvamar County Club. Greene challenged KU senior golfer Kevin Ward to a round of golf. Ward shot a 69 and Greene finished with a 95.
Golfer bests Greene on greens
100
Ward follows through on a swing during his round against Greene. The two played at Alvamar Country Club.
Jared Soares/KANSAN
When God invented golfers, he did not come up with Kevin Ward.
Kevin's sweet swing looks as though it benefited from divine intervention, but the truth is that it came from years of practice, toil and perseverance.
Either way, Kansas senior golfer Kevin Ward makes golf look easy. When he tees off, his Titleists consistently go about 320 yards down the middle of the fairway.
SPORTS COMMENTARY
In the fairway, every swing is perfect. On the green, if his putt is within 15 feet, it's automatic. It's like watching someone play Tiger Woods on Playstation 2.
I love you.
Unlike my HORSE competition with Keith Langford, I knew there was no way I could take Kevin. Instead, what I saw during 18 holes and three hours was
RYAN GREENE
rgreene@kansan.com
Kevin is a top collegiate golfer, and I play maybe four times a year. So one can only imagine what happened when I went to Alvamar Golf Club to go 18 holes with KU's top duffer.
insight into one of Kansas most intriguing student athletes. So without further ado, it's time to head to the first tee.
Pre-Game
Kevin Ward is to Alvamar Golf Club, Kansas's home course, what Norm Peterson was to Cheers. Everyone knows his name. That happens after playing there five times a week for the past four years. No matter who is on the course, they greet him with a warm smile and encouraging small talk. When we got into our cart, I knew this
was his turf. The dead giveaway was that he has a key that starts any of the carts, any time he wants. Plus, he knows the course's cart paths like people know their neighborhood's streets. It was obvious that Kevin Ward was at home at Alvamar.
1st Hole
Kevin whips out a Taylor Made R7 driver, which has removable weights and lets you control the path of your ball. Of course, it only works if you have the textbook swing to match it, which Kevin does. He backs up the hefty retail price when he rocks his first drive about 300 yards right down the fairway.
Having not played in about a month, my first drive was surprisingly decent going about 50 yards shorter than Kevin's, but straight.
to my old ways of hitting everything off the tee to the right. Kevin sort of did the same, but much longer. Kevin's second shot leaves him about 200 yards out from the green, but with an interesting decision. Does he punch it out into the fairway and sacrifice the stroke?
On the day's first par five, I revert
Or does he try his luck and slap it through the tree in front of him? Kevin opts for the latter, and pulls his first of many Tin Cup moments of the day, sticking it right in front of the green. Even more ridiculous was the exchange we had after the hole. He got a five to save par, while I bogeyed with a six.

Fantasy football engages all types of football fans

A small group of 20-something males are huddled around a computer, some jotting last-second notes, the others furiously flipping magazine pages. The guy at the computer clicks his mouse one last time and passionately declares: "Ghetto Children are now on the clock!" Welcome to the deranged, yet never dull, world of fantasy football.
For an activity once associated with number-crunching, stat-crazed geeks and die-hard fans, fantasy football is now as prevalent and widely accepted as missed Kansas field goals. Thanks to the Internet and the popularity of the NFL, fantasy football's rapid growth over the last 15 years has culminated into a billion-dollar industry. In 1989,

Rec Center turns one
Birthday marked by giveaways; expansion planned
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
One year ago today, after three aggravating months of delay, 2,000 University of Kansas students packed into the less-thanready Student Fitness Recreation Center amid dozens of construction workers, unfinished floors and wet concrete.
As the recreation center celebrates its one-year anniversary with cake, balloons and hourly giveaways, there is still work to be done.
Mary Chappell, director of Recreation Services, said the department was working on plans to expand the $17 million center. She said additions would include an expanded free weight area, at least four new basketball courts, a doubled indoor track circumference and additional racquetball courts.
The Kansas Board of Regents will vote on the expansion next month. Chappell said Recreation Services hoped to finalize plans by spring.
"With the first project, we asked the architects to develop some expansion
ideas," Chappell said. "We only have six and a half acres to work with and it sits at an angle, so we have to be creative. Also, a lot of what we can do depends on what the climate is like for economics."
Unlike the initial recreation center costs, which were paid entirely by student fees, the $6 million for the expansion will come from the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation as part of a deal negotiated last spring between then-student body president Andy Knopp and athletics director Lew

Steve Balderson compared releasing a film to giving birth. If this were true, Balderson would be 8-and-a-half months pregnant with his second child.
"I look at my films as children," Balderson said. "There's a relief that comes with letting them go."
Balderson will unveil "Firecracker" at the Raindance Film Festival in

Balderson knew he wanted to become a filmmaker as a child.

After he explained that he was unemployed and would be unable to afford an attorney, District Court Judge Peggy Kittel appointed Plaster a lawyer and set his next court date for 2 this afternoon. District Court Judge Michael Malone will preside over the hearing.
Public Safety Office. Plaster was charged yesterday with aggravated assault, aggravated robbery, possession of a firearm, fleeing from police and violating probation.
Plaster's bond is set at $16,000. As a condition of the bond, he may not have contact with any persons listed on the complaint.

Conference to inspire activism
By Ross Fitch
rftch@kansan.com
kansas STAFF WRITER
the main focus of the conference will be to educate and encourage women and young people to take an active leadership role in politics and their communities, said Jessica St. Clair, Valley Center graduate student in psychology and coordinator for the conference.
Two local women of influence will share their experiences and encourage other women to follow suit this weekend.
St. Clair said that this year's conference would be the first in the conference's 10-year history to focus on politics and leadership.
"We want to work to empower women to know they can enact change," St. Clair said. "It's important that we're all working for change and to really make our world what we want it to be."
The 10th annual Women's Civic Leadership Conference will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2, in the Kansas Union. Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute and 44th District state representative, and Kay Barnes, mayor of Kansas City, Mo., are the featured speakers.
Barbara Ballard said she would mainly discuss the role of women in politics. Ballard said she was encouraged by the fact that there had been a steady increase in women participating in politics in Kansas.
She said Kansas had been in the top 10 for the number of women involved
The conference will be a culmination of Civic Literacy Week, which is sponsored by the Student Legislative Awareness Board (SLAB) and aimed at getting college students involved in politics and the community.

'The New York Times' sues John Ashcroft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The New York Times sued Attorney General John Ashcroft yesterday, seeking to block the Justice Department from obtaining records of telephone calls between two veteran journalists and their confidential sources.
The lawsuit said the Justice Department was "on the verge" of getting records as part of a probe aimed at learning the identity of government employees who may have provided information to the newspaper. It asked a judge to intervene.
The paper said the government intends to get the records, which reflect confidential communications between the journalists Philip Shenon and Judith Miller and their sources, from third parties unlikely to be interested in challenging its authority.
The lawsuit said the scope of the government's demand for telephone records meant that the records would expose the identities of dozens of confidential sources used by the reporters for an array of articles about Sept. 11, the government's handling of continued threats from Al Qaeda and the war in Iraq.
George Freeman, a lawyer for the Times, said most of the sources had no connection to the government's probe.
The lawsuit said the Justice Department has advised the Times that it planned to obtain records of all telephone calls by Shenon and Miller for 20 days in the months immediately following the Sept.11,2001, terrorist attacks.
"We are very troubled at this brazen intrusion into our relationship with our sources, which is unconstitutional and endangers our free press," he said.
Floyd Abrams, the attorney who filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in
Manhattan, said it was "a very dangerous and unprecedented notion" for the Justice Department to seek telephone records from third parties rather than the Times.
"In this case, we're talking about the potential compromising of literally dozens of sources because telephone records relate to an enormous array of stories," he said. "It would threaten the ability of all journalists to promise confidentiality to their sources."
A telephone message left with a government spokeswoman for comment was not immediately returned yesterday.
Shenon was one of two Times reporters sent into combat with U.S. troops during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
Since the fall of 2001, he has reported on homeland security, terrorism and the work of the Sept. 11 commission.
Miller, who won a Pulitzer Price for her January 2001 series on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, has reported extensively for the Times on national security issues, especially terrorism, the Middle East and weapons of mass destruction.

Grassroots campaign enlists KU student

BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In the last weeks before the presidential election, Chris Cardinal, Salina senior, will be working ensure that the final result — not just, the popular vote, as Al Gore did in 2000 — is in the democrats' favor this November.
Cardinal left for Michigan, a swing state, where he will be working in for the MoveOn Political Action Committee as a precinct director.
"It's one of the biggest grassroots campaigns ever," he said.
Cardinal said MoveOn hired more than 500 people to work in the 17 swing states before the November election. His goal is to gain at least 150 votes for Kerrv in each precinct.
"I have to make sure they go
blue rather than red," he said of the swing states.
Cardinal didn't know he would be working with MoveOn until one week before the fall semester started when a representative from the committee called.
"I never thought that I'd get the call." Cardinal said.
He said he got chills when the call came.
MoveOn contacted Cardinal because of his work as a campaign coordinator and director for Save the Children and as the fund director for the Texas Public Research Institute Group, he said. His work for the group earned him media coverage from ABC and National Public Radio. Cardinal said his office for the group was the best in the nation and superceded every goal set for it.
"It's a ridiculously hard job to do really well," said Kevin
McKenzie, Salina junior, who has known Cardinal since high school.
Cardinal is earning University credit for his work at MoveOn. He is also a holdover student senator, so his position will be vacant while he's away, but he will return to Student Senate and the University in the spring as a full-time student.
"Chris has 100 percent enthusiasm for everything he's ever done." Tyler Longpine, Hays senior, said.
Longpine, who has worked with Cardinal in Senate, said he was impressed by Cardinal's drive and passion for civic involvement.
Cardinal said the country would face serious consequences if its citizens re-elected Bush. He said the Bush administration's focus was too heavily on God, gays and guns.
"They want to divide the country," he said. "That's exactly what they're doing."
Cardinal said he believed the MoveOn Political Action Committee would impact the election in favor of the democrats. Cardinal said MoveOn's campaign was the most organized he had ever seen.
Cardinal said he was among the nation's top consumer action and human rights lobbyists and organizers.
"It's been amazing," he said. "I've been working with some of the most talented people I've ever worked with on campaigns."
"It's going to happen because of the amount of talent we have," he said. "Look for immediate results in all of the swing states."

KU Greens to take break rebuild leadership base
Members of the KU Greens will be focusing their efforts elsewhere during this year's election season because they lack strong leadership within the organization.
"A lot of our members who were carrying it graduated," said Sara Zafar, Wichita senior and co-coordinator of the KU Greens. "The rest of us weren't ready to take it on."
Zafar is also an opinion columnist for The University Daily Kansan.
She said the group was still a registered campus group and wanted to resume its normal level of activity by next semester. The KU Greens differ from other campus political groups such as the KU Young Democrats or the College Republicans, she said.
"It's more like a group of like minded individuals," she said.
"There was a lot of social awareness efforts and activism."
She said the group supported issues like fair trade and global awareness of environmental problems.
Jane Gibson, associate professor of anthropology and member of the Kaw Valley Greens, is the faculty adviser for the KU Greens.
"Every third party group is going to go through these phases," she said. "The KU Greens are busy with other things right now, but undoubtedly they'll be back."
She said the Green Party was an important part of American politics and had a lot to offer the political arena. She said the Green Party has been instrumental in discussing issues like energy, the environment and the economic system that the two major parties agree on.
"The presidential campaign of Ralph Nader has had an impact in bringing these issues to the floor," she said.

City commission announces next week is Homecoming Week for city
By STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAF WRITE
Mayor Mike Rundle proclaimed the week of Oct. 2-9 "University of Kansas Homecoming Week."
The week will kick off with the Spirit Sprint, a 5K run or walk that starts at the Burge Union.
The week ends with a home football home game against Kansas State University, Bill Cosby and Bill Rancie, winner of The Apprentice, will make guest appearances during the week.
The 15-person Homecoming Steering Committee has been planning homecoming week
since the end of last January.
Amanda Akard, community events and service chair for the committee, said planning homecoming had opened her eyes to how much work it took to plan a week-long event.
"We'd love for as many people to benefit as possible," Akard said.
Chris Kaufman, co-director for the committee, said he encouraged everyone to participate in at least one homecoming event during the week.
A request made by Louise's West, 1307 W. 7th St., passed last night on the city commission's consent agenda.
Paula Mather submitted the request to the city for Larry
Hogan and Don McClure,
owners of Louise's West.
The week will kick off with the Spirit Sprint, a 5k run or walk that starts at the Burge Union. The week ends with a home football game against Kansas State University
The request was for a wood fence, about eight feet high, to be installed on the grassy area east of the building.
The fence would provide a safe area for people to smoke
outside.
Louise's West has two exits out of the building, one is through the north front door and the second is through the east side, which leads to the grassy lot, of the building.
The majority of people exit out of the front door and onto a sidewalk, which measures 4 by 20 feet. The area fills quickly during busy nights and people are spilling out unsafely into the street and parking lot.
The fenced-in area would measure 25 by 26 feet and would handle the heavy traffic flow of people.

EDITORIAL BOARD
'Daily Show' last bastion of real news for students
Of all of the news programs and organizations out there, only one has
the courage to ask the tough questions, the knowledge to cut through Washington and corporate spin, and the desire to bring back honest, hard-hitting, muckraking journalism.
One might wonder why, in a country filled with as many newspapers and major news organizations as ours, a fake news show could be this influential.
Never mind that it's a fake news program. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which won an Emmy Award last week, has developed a large, fanatical following since Stewart succeeded Craig Kilborn almost five years ago. The show took off in 2000 with its satirical, perhaps genius, coverage of the presidential race with its "Indecision 2000" campaign. Despite a brief hiatus after the Sept. 11 attacks, the show soon recovered its courage and brought American political leaders, democrat and republican alike, back into the arena of biting, honest humor.
To be sure, there are a variety of factors involved in The Daily Show's phenomenon: the documented apathy of American youth, the prominence of 24-hour cable news, sound bites and the polarization of the electorate.
But despite the viewing public's
waning interest in anything but celebrity news or political gossip, The Daily Show manages to engage its sources and its viewers, many of whom are those "apathetic" young people, with the issues of the day. Even if its methods are light-hearted and off-beat — regular segments include "Mess O' Potamia," "This Week in God" and "Back in Black," by comedian Lewis Black — the goals of the show, and the ends it achieves, are certainly desirable.
Commentators in the mainstream media may be in shock at the ratings that The Daily Show gets and at surveys reporting that more young adults get their news from that program than any other, but perhaps they continue to play the show off because they realize that the The Daily Show is doing the job they either can't or won't do.
The Daily Show allows for tongue-in-cheek musings at serious issues because it uses humor as its vehicle — you laugh at the messenger, but you cannot forget the message.
With satire, The Daily Show manages to do the near-impossible in our "just-the-facts, ma'am" culture: They've brought context back into the discussion of issues. And for this, the show and its anchor are a credit to the nation.

LANGUAGE RULES!

That's cell phone for "Call me."
Predictive text programs like T9® Word allow cell phone users to tap only a few keys when writing memos or sending text messages, rather than scrolling through the alphabet. So the word "call" only requires that the 2 key and 5 key are hit twice each to spell c-a-l-1.
LANCHON KRUE
'T9® Word is smart, but not smart enough to automatically know the words users wish to type. The program can't predict that the word between 'I' and "going" should be "am," instead of "an" by pushing 2.9
Of course, we don't expect perfection from cell phone software, but T9 demonstrates a major discrepancy between artificial and human intelligence when it comes to language. T9 doesn't recognize common collocations.
Collocations are exactly what their name looks like: "co-locations." In other words, collocations are pairs or collections of words that often appear in the same vicinity. Sometimes the combinations create meaning; sometimes the togetherness is the result of routine.
Idioms are good places to find meaningful collocations, such as "rain or shine" and "once in a blue moon." Each separate element of these phrases has meaning, but the elements gain new meaning when placed together. Collocations can also include words that generally appear in the same area,
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART
opinion@kansan.com
such as "bird" and "nest," though they don't necessarily add new meaning to one another.
People almost naturally recognize collocations in their native languages. Collocations help speakers predict the words they listen to and pattern their own speech. Collocations often describe things that just seem natural to everyday language.
Collocations are studied within the field of corpus linguistics. A corpus is an electronic collection of millions of words from real-world texts. Universities and other institutions compile and manage these databases, which show scholars the frequency in which certain words appear in close proximity to each other.
Some collocations are stricter than others. A 1991 article in American Speech discusses the importance of order in certain common word groupings, such as "male and female" and "men and women." These phrases sound awkward when reversed — "female and male," "women and men."
The author points out several reasons why these orders are neither coincidental, nor easily explained. At first, these constructions look like they're following a pattern of one syllable followed by two, but "husband and wife" is a similarly standardized pair that reverses the pattern.
To some extent, gender roles seem to be mandating these collocates' orders, but examples such as "ladies and gentlemen" or "mom and dad" defy this idea.
Similarly, the word salt always comes before pepper, and ham before eggs. Somehow these constructions have become normalized and ordered collocates in the English language.
Collocations are a subtle feature of language. Non-native speakers who can recognize words commonly found together and then incorporate these collocations into their own verbal communication are demonstrating mastery of their new language.
Yet, while collocations derived from the study of corpus linguistics display general lexical relationships, other collocations may be more specific and personal.
For example, a collocation we'd like to continue using this season is "football team" and "winning season."

Instead singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, who identifies as Yusuf Islam since becoming Muslim in the early '70s, spent last year's Overland Park fundraiser talking about a parochial elementary school over which he currently presides.
Everyone in the auditorium was hoping that the former singer would touch upon his time as a pop icon, his sudden decision to trade his life and name for Islam and maybe even hear him toss off a version of Wild World for kicks.
'Peace Train' unfairly derailed
In lieu of his greatest hits, Islam treated attendees to a plodding powerpoint presentation and an awkward music video featuring a Moroccan crooner for Allah. It was the type of activity Islam has dedicated himself to since becoming a very public symbol of his newfound religion, the peaceful flipside to the death and destruction that makes headlines daily.
So it was a shock when representatives from the Department of Homeland Security suddenly exhibited a 180-degree policy change concerning the singer, alleging he has ties to terrorist groups.

Keeping the good old U.S. of A. from a Muslim leader who has publicly taken a stand against the extremists within his ranks, even going so far as donating money to victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, turns even more all ready hardened souls against the United States.
With no Moonshadow of a doubt, we should be embracing leaders as influential and benign as Islam, and not publicly humiliating them and then conducting sloppy smear campaigns from the Pentagon.
We are the country that is waging a war against an adjective.
In the meantime, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw is seeking further explanation from our higher-ups and it looks like Islam will be grounded, until further notice, when it comes to the United States. I'm sure he'd rather be ridding the Peace Train anyway.

REC CENTER: Complaint areas targeted for expansion

She said the 211 machines spanning much of the second and third floors are nearly always in use.
"We knew that's where the beeive would go to," Chappell said. "And that's where they've stayed."
The current layout of the center was largely determined by a student poll taken in 1992. Chappell said the number one item students wanted was cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills, stair machines, bike machines and arllipticals.
The large number of machines did not leave much room for free weights. Keyarash Jahanian, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, has worked out at the facility five days a week since it opened. He said he was tired of waiting in line to lift weights when all the weight benches were occupied.
"I think there are way too many machines and not enough free weight space," he said. "There's always a kajillion people. It gets on your nerves after a while."
Recreation Services started hearing complaints about the size of the free weight area soon after the center opened. Chappell said, but most students had few problems with the facility.
In a survey conducted by students in Maria Len-Rios' journalism marketing and media
research class two months after the center opened, 84 percent of the almost 400 students polled said they were satisfied with it.
Chappell said the complaints of those not satisfied have centered on the areas targeted for expansion.
Recreation Services is expecting the Board of Regents to approve the expansion, she said, after which the department will begin construction as soon as possible.
In the meantime, Chappell said she wanted students to take full advantage of the center's amenities, including areas that many students have overlooked, such as the three-story rock climbing wall.
"A lot of people are interested in it but haven't found the time to come over and check it out." she said.
Gastón Araoz, Recreation Services facility assistant, said he hoped today's one-year celebration would bring new visitors to the center.
"We want to show the new students it's our one-year anniversary," the La Paz, Bolivia, senior, said. "I don't know if all of the freshmen know about the rec center and the programs that we offer. It's one of the most beautiful buildings on campus."
The festivities include a ceremonial cake cutting by Chappell at 1 p.m., hourly drawings and an athletic challenge in which all activities students participate in

They found out he could read but couldn't answer questions about what he read because he was storing the information in his brain as pictures, Balderson's father said. He said he had to draw a picture of what the clock would look like when it was time to come home or his son would be late.
"Most people have to be taught to think pictures." Balderson's father said. "When he writes a script he draws the pictures first."
Balderson began making videos with his grandfather's camcorder with his siblings when he was 8 years old, his father said. His dream led him to the California Institute of the Arts for college.
"The first day of class they said you don't have to have a degree to be a filmmaker," Balderson said. "It took me three-and-a-half years to figure it out."
After his seventh semester, Balderson realized he wasn't on track to graduate. He was supposed to receive a review of his work but never got it so he went to the dean's office to find out the problem. He realized his professors had been evaluating him as a master's student.
Balderson said every time he was assigned a feature he thought his professor meant a full-length feature rather than a two-minute one. He would miss class for weeks at a time and turn in projects equivalent to a master's student without realizing it, he said.
Balderson decided to move back to Kansas to begin his filmmaking career.
"I love living in this town because there aren't distractions." Balderson said. "Going to California made me appreciate what I had here."
He knew he could have had larger budgets making films in
Los Angeles, but he wouldn't always be allowed to stay true to his visions. Balderson said he respected directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick because they didn't have committees telling them what to do with their films.
Balderson's actors appreciated the atmosphere on set.
"His sets were really calm and creative compared to other directors I've worked with," said Pleasant Gehman, who played Estelle in the film. "Everyone working on the film was really talented and got the job done."
Gehman said she liked that there weren't 100 production assistants running around pretending to be important.
Filming in Wamego, Balderson chose some of his production staff from the department at the University of Kansas.
"KU is the only school in the area that has a film department of its size." Balderson said.
Kristen Brant gained experience working as the production coordinator on the film. Her main duties included making call sheets and schedules. Brant applied for the position online and then began talking with Balderson. The film major said she learned things she'll be able to take into the real world.
"I learned a lot about people, being able to adapt, and that nothing is ever definite," the Atchison junior said.
She won't forget Balderson's cheerful attitude on set.
"He was always giggling." Brant said. "He has a very distinct laugh."
Becca Breithaupt, another KU film student, worked with Balderson on the set as a grip. She described her job as the handyman of the set.
"The skills I got from working with Steve are priceless," Breithaupt, Lawrence junior, said. "I'll use them forever."

Kansas City-based group airs ads aimed at blacks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One commercial claims Democrats support "abortion laws that are decimating our people," while another argues that Democrats "preech tolerance but practice discrimination."
Operating largely under the radar, Americas PAC, a little-known conservative group based in Overland Park, has been airing ads excoriating Democrats on black radio stations in five states this month.
The spots have drawn the iire of Democrats who claim the commercials are designed to keep a crucial voting bloc for the party at home on Nov. 2.
Americas PAC says its ads — on issues from taxes to school choice to the economy — are designed to encourage blacks to go to the polls in support of President Bush and Republicans.
The group denies that it's attempting to suppress the black vote to help Bush, as
Democrats contend.
"That claim is attached to anything Republicans do in an attempt to mobilize blacks for Republicans," Richard Nadler, the head of the group, said Tuesday. "It's not true."
Nadler is a white conservative from Kansas City who in 2000, through the Republican Ideas Political Action Committee, ran TV ads on education that both Democratic and Republican critics said amounted to race baiting.
Rep. John Lewis, a black Democrat from Georgia, called the ads "repugnant, vicious" and filled with "outright lies that distort the facts."
"Thethey are a deliberate, systematic effort to try to discourage African-American voters from turning out and voting," Lewis said. "These people know that the African-American vote is not going to go to the Republicans. The whole idea is to confuse people and raise doubts in their minds."
This year, Nadler's new group.
Americas PAC, has bought at least $130,000 worth of airtime to run ads on urban radio stations that reach blacks and Hispanics in Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin through the election. It's a relatively small amount, but the ads are meant to have a larger impact in a targeted community.
Democrats, concerned about diminished support, are seeking to reverse the trend. One Democratic group, the Media Fund, launched a massive ad campaign that included a spot saying: "The Republicans want you to sit out this election and simply stay home. Who are they fooling?"
Meanwhile, Americas PAC plans to make another push into the black community this week with a series of commercials featuring the group's new spokesman, Herman Cain, a prominent black Republican and former chairman of Godfather's Pizza who was a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Georgia.
Billionaire's goal: oust Bush
Soros funds democrats, is a scourge to republicans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — He's donated some $18 million to organizations working to defeat President Bush. Now, billionaire George Soros is taking his campaign — and money — on the road.
The Hungarian-born activist will spend between $2 million and $3 million in the next month visiting a dozen cities, sending at least 2 million informational pamphlets to voters and placing ads in national and local newspapers.
"in spite of his Texas swagger, George W. Bush does not qualify to serve as our commander in
chief," Soros said Tuesday at a news conference.
An ad to appear Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal features Soros' theories on "Why we must not re-elect President Bush." At the top of the list is the invasion of Iraq.
"President Bush silenced all criticism by calling it unpatriotic. When he said that 'either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,' I heard alarm bells ringing," Soros said.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark introduced Soros, saying that the activist has some important points of view to share, whether or not Clark agrees with them.
Soros says he'll be targeting Republicans who are thinking of voting for Bush out of GOP loyalty.
"Much more is at stake than party loyalty. And Bush hasn't been particularly loyal to the values and principles of the Republican Party," said Soros, who has donated $18 million to various independent groups working to oust Bush, including America Coming Together and MoveOn.org.
Republicans have been critical of Soros, whom the RNC called "the Daddy Warbucks of the Democratic Party." The GOP has dismissed Soros' criticisms of Bush.

Offensive line costs' Hawks

On the football field, the only five offensive players standing next to each other are the offensive linemen.
"You need all five guys in concert." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They really need to be on the same page together. If you are in some kind of combination block, scoop block or pass protection call, you are as dependent on the guy next to you as you are on yourself."
Together, they stop the pass rush, protect the quarterback and open up the running game. But with the good comes the bad, and Mangino said the offensive line had not been going the way he wanted — the Jayhawks ran the ball a meager 27 times for 86 yards in Saturday's loss to Texas Tech.
"I'm not pleased with the play of our offensive line," Mangino said after the game on Saturday. "I commend John Randle and Clark Green for their efforts because any yards they got were

"They're talented kids, and at this point in our program we need to continue to develop and recruit those kinds of kids," coach Mark Mangino said.
Gordon played as a wide receiver last year, but the coaches transferred him to defense in the offseason.
The Jayhawk secondary struggled greatly last season, and the coaches thought that Gordon could best help the team as a corner.
Randle, on the other hand, has taken the majority of his snaps over the last two seasons as a running back. This year he has done that job, as well as punt coverage, kick return and punt return.
Randle has assumed the return role with the absence of junior Greg Heaggans. Heaggans has been out since being arrested on suspicion of DWI on Sept. 16.
Both Randle and Gordon have turned into men whom Mangino relies on to carry the team.
"We just don't have enough of them right now," Mangino said. "They're extremely talented young men that do a lot of things well."
Mangino relies on versatile, athletic players to fill holes that he has not been able to fill through recruitment thus far. By finding those players, he has more flexibility.

Setters maintain versatility on court
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANAN SPORTWRITER
In most team sports, there's one position that demands a player perform in every aspect of the game. In basketball, a swingman can score inside, outside and snag rebounds. In football, a running back carries the ball, catches passes and blocks the pass rush.
"You're expected to touch the ball on every rally," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard of the setter. "Then you've got to get back and help with blocking. You've got to play defense. The only thing you don't do is receive the other team's serve."
In volleyball, the versatile position is the setter. She attacks, blocks, serves and most importantly, passes.
When the opponent serves, the setter is the only player facing away from the
But rallies don't always work that way. Sometimes the dig doesn't come to the setter, so another player will have to make the second pass. In the Kansas lineup, freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown is the secondary setter.
When the ball comes to the setter, she ideally has three options for the second pass: outside hitter, opposite hitter or middle blocker — called middle hitter by some teams. These front line players then attack, hitting the ball over the net.
net. She watches her own team so she can get underneath the first pass, usually a dig by the libero.
"You have to be focused on your team," said junior setter Andi Rozum. "You have to know who your hot hitters are."
When the ball does go to Rozum, she said the attack option she chose depended on pregame scouting.
One of Rozum's favorite moves is faking like she's about to pass, then tapping the ball over the net, sometimes catching the opponents offguard.
"We talk about who's their weakest blocker," she said. "A lot of it has to do with the other team and what they're doing."
Largely because of this move, she leads Kansas players with more than 10 attempts in attack percentage this season at .368.
Bechard said one of the most important qualities in a setter was mental discipline. She must maintain an awareness of her own team to facilitate passing, and of the other team, to allow attacking. She must also be able to move on after mistakes, which inevitably occur when a player touches the ball on every point.
"It requires somebody with a lot of selfconfidence and self-control," he said. "Both setters in our program exhibit those
qualities day in and day out."
Both setters — Rozum and senior Ashley Bechard — are upperclassmen. Bechard said he hoped to recruit an understudy for the 2005 season.
The 2004 Jayhawks will take on the no.7 Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7 tonight at Horesji Family Athletics Center.
Volleyball Notes
After losing to Texas Saturday Kansas dropped three spots in the USA Today/CSTV Coaches' Poll. The Jayhawks are now ranked 24th.
Middle blocker Kristin Buehler will take a redshirt this season and gain a year of eligibility.
Bechard said the team's depth at the position and Buehler's continuing recovery 'rom offseason knee surgery contributed to her decision.

Nebraska's offense a departure from past
BY RYAN COLAIANNI

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
When Nebraska hired Bill Callahan to become its new football coach, he brought a new style of offense that changed the way Cornhusker football was played.
1
Callahan came from coaching the Oakland Raiders of the NFL and brought his high-powered West Coast offense with him.
Callahan replaced Frank Solich, who won nine games in 2003 and was fired just before Nebraska's bowl contest with Michigan State.
CALLAHAN
This style has vastly changed the appearance of the Cornhusker offense, as the team is throwing the ball more.
"When I figured out what this offense was going to do for a tight end, it kind of put a smile on my face, as well as the other recipients," Herian said.
Callahan's offense spreads the field, which enables many receivers to get involved. One of those receivers is tight end Matt Herian.
Herian is the teams leading receiver with 17 catches and three touchdowns.
The Cornhuskers have 562 passing yards this season, the most in their first three games since 1995.
"I think one of the keys of what this system is all about is distributing the ball to as many people as you can," Callahan said. "The whole system is based on off-balance play calling and having off-balance in your personnel groupings and your play selection."
"I think one of the

Callahan's system is vastly different from the one Solich used for six seasons, which relied on running the football.

Under Callahan, Nebraska has been able to balance running the football with passing the football. Kansas coach Mark Mangino has been impressed by the results so far.
"If you look at the Western Illinois game all the way to the Pittsburgh game you can see where their offense, their kids are starting to understand the system well," Mangino said.
Callahan has guided the Cornhuskers to a 2-1 record thus far with the lone loss coming at home to Southern Mississippi.
Callahan is showcasing the offense with players that he did not recruit, and his players are still learning the system.
Sophomore Joe Dailey quarterbacks the offense and had six touchdowns in the first game of the season against Western Illinois: four passing and two rushing.
"He's really talented," Mangino said of Dailey. "He can hurt you both throwing and running."
Like the rest of Nebraska's offense, Dailey is still learning the system. But Callahan is encouraged by Dailey's progress.
"I'm very positive about where he can take us this season," Callahan said of Dailey. "He's got a great thirst. He's got a great hunger about this team. He wants to lead the team, and I think that he's right on course."

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday that junior wide receiver Greg Heaggins would not play in Saturday's game against Nebraska.

Hearing to set gymnasts' fate
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Court of Arbitration for Sport held an 11 1/2-hour hearing Monday in Lausanne, Switzerland, to determine whether Paul Hamm should again be declared the winner of the Olympic gymnastics all-around competition, or the victory should go to Yang Taeyoung of South Korea.
young of South Korea. "It was a very fair hearing and everyone got the chance to say what they thought," Hamm said in a teleconference after the hearing. "If they determine by the rules of gymnastics I should give back my medal, I will."
It has beep quite an odyssey for Hamm and Yang, who was wrongly docked 0.1 points for the level of difficulty of his parallel bars routine in the
all-around.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) reviewed the meet the next day and suspended the judges, admitting a mistake and adding fuel to the South Korean protest.
all-around. He ended up with the bronze,0.049 points behind Hamm.
FIG president Bruno Grandi confused the issue by writing a letter to Hamm asking him to surrender the gold medal voluntarily. Grandi wrote, "The true winner of the all-around competition is Yang Tae-young."
Despite the suspensions, officials for the federation said they wouldn't change the results because the South Koreans didn't file a protest in time.
The South Koreans brought the case to CAS — the final authority on Olympic matters.
Arguing on Hamm's behalf, U.S. Olympic Committee attorney Jeff Benz said there was no way to assume Yang would have won, because there was one event left after the parallel bars and there was no guarantee everything would have turned out the same.
He also argued that judgment calls by officials during competitions were not subject to review by CAS, and that the South Koreans didn't file their appeal until it was too late to change the result.

About 40 people speaking no fewer than seven languages were in the courtroom. The arguments were heard by three arbitrators — one each from Germany, Kenya and Britain. Reeb said the ruling was expected within two weeks.

Big 12 Runner of the Week leads Jayhawks to 10th place
Kansas cross country runner Benson Chesang was named Big 12 Runner of the Week for his performance Saturday at the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Minn., the league announced yesterday.
Chesang was the only Jayhawk to compete at the NCAA Cross Country Championships last season, where he placed 48th out of 254 runners.
league announced by Chesang, a sophomore from Eldama Ravine, Kenya, placed 11th out of 223 competitors in the eight-kilometer race with a time of 24:38 and led the Jayhawks to a 10th place finish out of 25 teams. It was his first race of the season after sitting out the first two meets to rest a sore hamstring.
"That race was a great start for Benson," coach Stanley Redwine said in a press release. "It shows you what kind of competitor he is."

Eagles' talent and attitude calculate into 3-0 start
PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles had talent. Now they have swagger and personality, too.

And it isn't just because they added Terrell Owens and Jevon Kearse and brought back Hugh Douglas and Jeremiah Trotter.
Sure, Owens and Kearse have proved to be the missing pieces on offense and defense, helping the Eagles start 3-0 for the first time since they won four in a row to open the 1993 season. But they've also helped provide another missing ingredient: attitude.

The Tigers' defense has allowed 44 points through three games, the second-fewest in the Big 12 Conference. A 48-0 win over Ball State on Sept. 18 showed how far Missouri (2-1) has come, but Colorado (3-0), which visits Saturday to open conference play, presents quite a challenge.

HUMANITIES
Coach Gary Pinkel believes the defense is still evolving.
"The difference between last year's team winning eight games and the year before (a 5-7 record) was our defense," Pinkel said. "Brad Smith had the same numbers as he did before. I think we have better players at a lot of different spots."
Bacon, a sophomore, has four tackles this season, including one for a loss. He will play an important role in Missouri's attempts to slow down Colorado tailback Bobby Purify, whose average of 118 rushing yards per game ranks 14th in the nation.
That depth took a hit Monday when the team suspended starting linebacker David Richard after he was arrested for alleged marijuana possession. Marcus Bacon will make his first career start Saturday in Richard's place.
"Marcus has been playing quite a bit there," Pinkel said. "He's very competitive. I'm sure he's excited about the opportunity. It certainly going to be a task. We're playing a really good running back, without question one of the best running backs in the Big 12."
Henry Sweat, who had been backing up Dedrick Harrington at middle linebacker, will back up Bacon instead. Sweat, a senior, can play all three linebacker positions and brings experience to the

last year's team winning eight games and the year before was our defense."
Sweat has 14 tackles, including three for loss, and one sack. He said he has seen the defense steadily improve through the non-conference schedule.
group.
"We're progressing." Sweat said. "We have a lot of young guys going through the learning progress, but I think that's the way it's going to be with anybody learning the position. We're definitely getting better."
Cornback Marcus King made his first start against Ball State and topped the depth chart this week, surpassing A.J. Kincade. He will start opposite Shirdonya Mitchell against the Buffaloes.
The defensive line, the most experienced aspect of the unit, has eight sacks. Tackle C.J. Mosley, tied for the conference lead with three, said he expects the defense to make big plays.
"I feel like we've got something special on both sides of the ball, but especially on my side of the ball," he said. "The guys we have, I'm hoping for a lot; some big plays, some interceptions returned for a touchdown. I want more of those."

pretty much on their own effort." Members of the offensive line said those comments were well-deserved.
OFFENSE: Line needs to collaborate more in order to improve
"There is a lot of things to be said after a game, and not all of them are positive," said junior lineman Matt Thompson. "We are looking to proving ourselves this weekend." Mangino is looking at different ways to make the Kansas offensive line more effective, and he is doing it with numbers.
"What our coaches are trying to do is to add some depth on the O-line," Mangino said. "We would like to be able to get a rotation going if we can."
Mangino said they were considering some younger players who hadn't had many opportunities to play. Matt Mann, a sophomore transfer from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, is a player that Mangino indicated might be seeing more playing time.
Mann, a 6-foot-4, 290-pound guard, has seen limited minutes in all four of the Jayhawks' games. Mangino said that freshman Adrian Mayes and Scott Haverkamp would most likely not play on the offensive line because he wants them to keep
The linemen said it was clear that they needed to get better before this Saturday's game. Senior center Joe Vaughn said the players knew that Mangino would not hesitate to make changes.
their redshirts.
"As an O-line, you have to perform, and when you don't perform, you have to get somebody in there who does perform." Vaughn said. "It goes week to week. If your performance isn't good, you will get some shots taken at you."
Mangino made one change to the offensive line last week before the Texas Tech game, replacing sophomore right tackle Travis Dambach with redshirt freshman Cesar Rodriguez.
Kansas was supposed to return three starting linemen from last year — Vaughn, sophomore guard Bob Whitaker and senior guard Tony Coker — but Coker has played in only one game because of an ankle injury.
Mangino said the offensive line needed to develop better chemistry and be more aggressive with its blocking to improve.
"At times I didn't execute, and at times as a group we didn't communicate well."
He said there was no excuse for them not to play well together after four games.
Thompson said.
"We have been together for a while now, through spring ball and two-a-days," he said. "We should be meshing well by now."
Thompson and Vaughn both said the group was working hard.
"A lot of the motivation comes from within," Thompson said. "We are hurt from our poor performance.
"We are taking it practice by practice, making sure that everyone is assignment sound and ready to execute."
sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann said he thought the offensive line was doing well despite the criticism it has received from Mangino.
"I think I was only sacked one or two times, and we threw the ball like 48 times," Barmann said. "I know they are working hard out there, and I have confidence in them."
Mangino stressed that this was not a desperate situation for the team but an opportunity to make sure that it had the right combination of players on the field.
"We are confident that the offense will continue to improve."
Mangino said, "Part of coaching is to make sure that we are getting people in the right spots."
Football Notes:
Coach Mark Mangino announced at his weekly press conference that junior defensive end Jermail Ashley was selected as the team's defensive player of the week. Sophomore running back John Randle was named the Jayhawks' special team player of the week. The team did not select an offensive player of the week.
Saturday's game in Lincoln,
Neb., will start at 6:20 p.m.
because of a conflict with the
NASCAR Busch Series.
Freshman wide receiver Hassan Johnson was named scout team offensive player of the week. Freshman linebacker Bruce Ringwood was selected as the scout team defensive player of the week.
The Jayhawks have lost 35 consecutive games against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The last time they defeated the 'Huskers was in 1968 in Lincoln, Neb. Mangino said that he was in eighth grade and had long hair in 1968.

"Hopefully you can get kids with that kind of athleticism and character, that can deal with playing a lot of reps and you can count on the field," he said.
At the same time, the coaches have a responsibility to make sure that the players do not take too many snaps. This is a problem with Randle and Gordon, who want to play as many snaps as they can.
Randle said that he did not face any extra physical or mental

stress because of the number of snaps he took.
"I do it every day in practice, so I used to it," Randle said.
Randle enjoys being on the field all the time. He likes having the ability to make plays.
Randle managed to touch the ball, but the turnover went to senior reserve linebacker Clark McCracken.
In the game against Texas Tech, Randle was able to get all the way down the field on a punt. As he got in Tech's return man's face, the ball came loose.
"It was fun doing that, I was just flying down the field trying to make plays," Randle said. "I played defense. I can make tackles."
Mangino seems to take pleasure in inserting Gordon into interesting situations. In fact, after one game Mangino said that he liked to "shoot from the hip" as far as Gordon's time on offense.
So far this season, Gordon has caught a pass in every game. He has seven receptions for 68 yards, seventh overall for the Jayhawks this season. Gordon is also the only one, aside from sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann, to complete a touchdown pass this season.
The pass was a half-back toss that he completed to senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau at the Texas Tech game.
"Everything I do is pretty simple." Gordon said.
"Mentally, I'm fine. I'm in pretty good physical shape too."
Gordon does not worry that playing so many different aspects of the game will wear him down.
Gordon plays primarily as a corner back. He also takes several snaps a game at wide receiver, which allowed him to throw the pass against Texas Tech. Gordon is also the team's punt returner.
Regarding Mangino's goal to develop more players into a multi-purpose role, neither player worries about that too much.
"I just try and set an example, play hard," Gordon said. "I think a lot of guys want to be like me."

Sproles could end Texas A&M's run
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M's resurgent defense isn't too worried about Darren Sproles gaining 100 yards on Saturday. Texas A&M just hopes Kansas State's senior running back doesn't embarrass them and do it in one quarter.
Sprotes has gained 100 yards in a quarter seven times in his career, and the Aggies' defense doesn't need any more setbacks after losing its famed Wrecking Crew nickname last year because of ineffective play.
"For a guy his size, he brings the whole package," Texas A&M defensive coordinator Carl Torbush said. "He's as close to Barry Sanders are you can get. He's done it game in and game out for a number of years without being injured.
"Hopefully, we can keep him behind the line of scrimmage. If
he gets out to daylight, we've got problems."
The Texas A&M defense soured last season in the first year of coach Dennis Franchione's tenure and it started off the same way this season by allowing 582 yards in a season-opening loss to Utah. More recently, the Aggies have looked more like the old Wrecking Crew.
The Aggie defenders don't want Sproles spoiling their recent success in Saturday's Big 12 opener at Kyle Field. The Aggies held Wyoming to 181 total yards and allowed Clemson only 250 yards after losing to Utah.
"We're not going to shut this team down, Darren Sproles is just too good," Franchione said. "We just hope they don't have a record-setting day against us. We hope to contain him somewhat and then you have to defend the
other aspects of their game."
Sproles had a school-record 292 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette, breaking his own single game total. He's reached 100 yards 21 times in his career, three behind the Big 12 record of 24 by Texas' Ricky Williams.
Sproles hasn't had his big quarters just against weaker teams. He ripped off a personal best 150 fourth-quarter yards against Oklahoma last season. He's also gained 100 yards in quarters against Baylor, Iowa State, Missouri, Nebraska, Western Kentucky and Louisiana-Lafayette.
"He's one of the premier backs in the country for the past two seasons," safety Jaxon Appel said. "He's going to be playing on Sunday in a couple of years. I'd rather tackle a guy 6-4, 240, than Sproles. He's so fast and not very tall. He can go around or he can go through you."
Keeping the 5-foot-7 Sproles to short gains will be the defensive goal.
sive goal.
“It’s going to be a challenge.” safety Erik Mayes said. “It’s going to be more of a linebacker thing, I’d rather see somebody like (linebacker) Justin Warren come up and make 10 tackles than me getting 10 tackles against this offense.”
Still, Franchione saw enough of Sproles in Kansas State's Big 12 championship game against Oklahoma last season to give him nightmares.
"They pitched the ball to him and he rolled and I thought Oklahoma had him," Franchione said. "It seemed like eight Oklahoma players around him and the next thing I knew, he broke out of the pack and scored a touchdown.
scores a point.
"He found something that I didn't see. His ability to turn on the jets and hit that hole — wow."

Singh matches strength of 1999, rivals Tiger Woods
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vijay Singh has one month to put the final touches on what already is a masterpiece.
He won for the eighth time this year at the 84 Lumber Classic, setting the single-season earnings record with more than $9.4 million. Singh has at least three tournaments left, so the 10-10 mark — 10 victories, $10 million — is in range. And as a sign that the 41-year-old Fijian is only getting stronger, he has won five of his last six starts.
Clearly, comparisons with Tiger Woods are inevitable.
As long as the year is 1999 — not 2000.
Five years ago, Woods launched a spectacular finish to the season by winning the PGA Championship at Medinah. He became No. 1 in the world, shattered the single-season money record and wound up with eight tour victories, winning five of his last six starts.
Singh is every bit as good as that.
But no one stacks up against
Woods in 2000, the modern standard of greatness.
"Tiger won three majors in 2000," Singh said. "You can't beat three majors. It's so much more difficult to win major events than normal tournaments. I'm just going to try to enjoy my good season."
Indeed, Singh should take a bow.
He joins Woods (1999, 2000), Johnny Miller (1974) and Arnold Palmer (1960, 1962) as the only players since 1960 to have won at least eight
PGA Tour events in one year. If he were to run the table and finish with 11 victories, that would tie for third all-time behind Byron Nelson (18 in 1945) and Ben Hogan (13 in 1946). Sam Snead also won 11 in 1950.
Still, Singh's phenomenal season only illustrates how dominant Woods was in 2000, when he won nine times, captured the final three majors and set or tied 27 records.
"To me, that's still the best year anybody ever had."
stewart Cink said. "Unfortunately for Vijay, he doesn't have any more major tournaments this year."
Everyone remembers the majors, but that was only a part of what made Woods' 2000 the Mona Lisa of golf. And that's why trying to match Singh in 2004 against Woods in 2000 is like putting the Americans against Europe in the Ryder Cup.
It's no contest.
Majors: Singh won his only major, the PGA Championship
at Whistling Straits, when Justin Leonard bogeyed the last two holes in regulation and Singh won the three-hole playoff by making his only birdie of the day.
Woods won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by a record 15 shots. He completed the career Grand Slam at St. Andrews by winning the British Open by eight shots. He won the PGA Championship in a playoff over Bob May after both shot a bogey-free 31 on the back nine at Valhalla.
Vermeil gets friend's help
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Since Sunday afternoon when his Kansas City Chiefs fell to 0-3, friends of Dick Vermeil have been calling, e-mailing and sending word through mutual pals.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Everyone seems to have basically the same message: Hang tough. Coach, we believe in you.
He's heard from Hollywood types, a renowned geologist and a former NBA all-star, as well as a host of other men who played for him during a coaching career that began in 1959.

"I get calls from all over the country, from different guys who know me, and have been through this kind of routine with me," Vermelil said Tuesday. "We all need a little pumping-up from time to time. I need it."
Fred Dryer, the former NFL star who had the lead role in the television series "Hunter," told him, "Coach, stick in there. I know you can get this thing going."
Dancers perform at Athens' main Olympic stadium during the closing ceremony of the 2004 Paralympic Games yesterday.
Charles Barkley, who became friends with Vermil when he was playing for the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, called to offer his support.
Petros Karadjias/AP PHOTO
That was Vernell's first head-coaching job.
So did Claude Humphrey, who played defensive end on Vermeil's Eagles teams of 1979-81 and left a message on his answering machine.
"Coach, don't change," the message said. "Don't let them get you. Stick with your way. It's always worked before and it will work now."
"He writes the leading textbooks in geology right now in the country," Vermeil said. "I've got his textbooks. They're way beyond me."
vernaps no sentiment meant more to the old coach than the e-mail he got from Bobby Christopherson, the captain on the Hillsdale High School team in San Mateo, Calif., in 1960.
It's reassuring, Vermeil said, "to know that people who have gone through the adversity with you in the past still believe the way you did it was the right way to do it."
Dancing queens
The Chiefs' road does not appear to get any smoother, with their next four opponents sporting a combined 10-2 record. Monday night finds the Chiefs at Baltimore.
"I've lost eight in a row before. I've gone from 0-8 in division play to 8-0 and world championship in a one-year turnaround," said Vermell, who coached his 200th NFL game on Sunday. "I've seen both sides."
After so many years, he said,
"There is nothing you haven't been exposed to. And if you don't handle them right, you don't get to coach 200 times."
Compounding the disappointment of an 0-3 start for a team many picked as a Super Bowl favorite have been some game-management miscues on Vermell's part. Joking that "early dementia" may be setting in, he admitted he'd made a few strategic mistakes in the past two games.
The mistakes and the losses have brought heavy criticism from fans and media.
"If you don't develop some toughness and some resolve within yourself, then you're in the wrong business," he said. "But to me it starts with my commitment to my players."
BASEBALL
Hector Luna made most out of his limited role
ST. LOUIS — Every December, major league baseball has a lightly publicized redistribution of developing players designed to prevent teams from hoarding talent in their minor league system.
Almost all of the names on the Rule 5 list, players not on a team's 40-man roster with three seasons in professional baseball, never make it big. In 1996, the St. Louis Cardinals plucked Megija Jia and he was mostly dead weight all year on the roster for a team that won the NL Central under first-year manager Tony La Russa.
The next seven years, the Cardinals didn't take anyone. Players must remain on the 25 man roster or the disabled list for the entire season or be offered back to their former
Hector Luna is one of the rare success stories.
teams for $25,000; and for a contending team it can be dicy allocating valuable roster space for a prospect.
The Cardinals took Luna, 24 from the Indians' organization and he's been a valuable, versatile reserve for the NL Central champions.
He's played five positions left and center field, third base, shortstop and second base — and he's been better at the plate than the Cardinals had anticipated even after he won a job with an impressive spring training.
"If a veteran played like he's played this year, we'd be complimenting him for doing a hell of a job." La Russa said. "He's been outstanding."
Luna's average has languished near .200 most of the season. A pair of four-hit games Thursday and Sunday hit it to .256 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 164 at-bats.
He's also had his share of
struggles, such as a two-error game earlier this month.
La Russa prizes him for accepting and making the most out of a limited role, and Luna has no complaints about playing time.
"It's a good situation for me," he said. "I've got a good feel for the manager."
Luna also gets points for being ready whenever he's needed, and for his potential. The Cardinals had him on their potential draft list for two years before they took him. The Devil Rays selected Luna in the 2002 Rule 5 draft, then returned him to Cleveland in April 2003.
"Watching him in spring training it was like 'Wow, look at his hand, look at his arm, I like his stroke,'" La Rusa said. "For a big guy he's got above-average speed and I watched him in the games and he wasn't playing like he was afraid.
"He was worth keeping."
La Russa isn't certain
whether Luna, whose favorite
position is shortstop, is a potential regular. Luna has played more at third base, subbing for the injured Scott Rolen, or in the outfield.
"I think he has the ability to be a second baseman or short-stop every day," La Russa said. "But he's going to have to show that as well as he's played part-time that he can keep it up.
"You don't know that until someone gives you a shot."
Luna isn't likely to get that shot anytime soon with the Cardinals, who have the best record in the major leagues and don't really have the luxury of being patient with a developing talent right now. Still, they're doing their best to nurture him. Luna is from the Dominican Republic and speaks in halting English.
So the Cardinals put his locker between fellow Latin American ballplayers Edgar Renteria and Albert Pujols to help him make the adjustment.
"It's been good," Luna said.
"We they helped me a lot."

The challenge is to figure out a way to do all the things to which you've been invited without spending a lot of cash. Actually that financial restriction will help you make the choices.

Jayhawk rowers stick together in and out of boat
BY NORA KELLAH
nkellam@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
Kristy Hainer gets the chills just thinking about it.
Sitting in the boat seconds before a race, the crew links hands and the adrenaline begins to flow. "It's all about the boat," she yells to her teammates as they begin their race.
With the start of fall comes a fresh season for the Kansas rowing team.
This weekend, 10 members of the team, including senior cocaptains Hainer and Erin Hennessey, will travel to Oklahoma City to kick off their fall season.
Diane M. Kyle
HAINER
"I am really excited about this
year," Hainer said. "We have a great group of girls who rowed novice last year and have been promoted to varsity this season. I am sure we'll have a fun-
filled and competitive year."
This season, Kansas will travel to Oklahoma, Illinois and Georgia and finish the fall season back in Lawrence with the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State. Last year, the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats, and the Jayhawk rowers hope to do the same this season.
The fall rowing season is a time
to compete hard and get in good position for the spring, the season officially recognized by the NCAA.

"The fall is concentrated on long distances moving
HENNESSEY
while spring is shorter sprint races." Hennessev said.
Every afternoon, the waterfront at Burcham Park, 2nd and Indiana Streets, is crowded with rowers training both on and off the water. Lately, team members have experienced difficulties with their oars during practice because of recent flooding in Lawrence.
"The sandbars in the river often interfere, so we have been doing a lot of running and weight training," Hennessey said. But she said the low water was not slowing Kansas down. "Most of the teams will be a little raw this early in the year, so we are not worried."
Kansas is looking forward to an exciting season. The team will compete in the "Head of the Hooch" regatta in Gainsville, Ga., the site of the 1996 Olympic Games.
"This is really awesome for us," Hennessee said. "The last 2,000 meters were the exact course that the Olympic athletes rowed on."
In a regatta, the team may be "all about the boat," but between races, rowers make time to focus

push. We want to do well."
Hennessey said she hoped the dedication on and off the water would shine through this season.
"I just want my last year rowing to be my best," she said. "I want this team to excel. I want to go out with a bang."

Top 10 past Kansas coaches impact University legacy
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIER
Editor's Note: To mark the Kansan's 100th year of publication, sportswriter Paul Brand will take a look at the "Top 10s" of Kansas sports. Have an idea for the next list? E-mail pbrand@kansan.com.
During games, they write furiously on clipboards and shout instructions to their players. In practice they devise new and cunning ways to prepare their teams for competition. As Kansas coaches, they have all made an impact on the University of Kansas' athletic legacy.
Some of the names made the list for brief, bright flashes of greatness, others ranked in for longevity in success. As always, no apologies are made for any of the picks. One more thing — sorry about number five.
10. Dave Bingham: In a baseball program with a history of limited accomplishments, he brought it the most success during his eight-year stint and accrued a 249-225 record. In 1993, he led the Jayhawks to their only College World Series, a 45-18 record and a top-10 ranking. The following year, Kansas was 40-18 and again finished in the top 25
9. Mike Fine: The current bowling guru of Mount Oread is the most recent Kansas coach to bring home a national title by leading his steam to the 2004 Intercollegiate Bowling Championship as a No. 4 seed. Besides leading the Hawks to their first bowling national title since 1963, he was also named the Intercollegiate Bowling Association's Coach of the Year for 2002. For those who wish to pick the brain of the coach, Fine teaches bowling classes at the Kansas Union's lavbowl.
7. James Neismith: There is no
BINGHAM
8. A.R. Kennedy: Although Bert only coached the football team for seven years, he is still the only Jayhawk football coach with more than 50 victories to his credit. His 53-9-4 record from 1904-1910 left him with a .833 winning percentage and one Missouri Valley Conference title. In his stay, he recorded a 5-1 record against Kansas State and beat Notre Dame in his first year in Lawrence.
good reason to include the only basketball coach with a career losing record on this list, but he did invent the game of basketball and also the football helmet.
creating one entertaining sport and making another slightly less entertaining. Despite his 55-60 record, he was voted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame.
6. Ted Owens: Having served
6. Tue Oct for 19 years on the Kansas men's basketball bench, he owns the second longest tenure of any coach. From 1964-1983, Owens made seven NCAA tournament
D. B. JAMES
appearances, reached the Final Four twice and captured six Big Eight conference titles. As evidence of his coaching prowess,
he was named Big Eight Coach of the Year five times and was the National Coach of the Year in 1978.
OWENS
5. Roy Williams breaking abandonment of the Kansas program in 2003 for a home on Tobacco Road, a term for the basketball universities in N o r t h Carolina, this was the most
5. Roy Williams: Given his heart-

WILLIAMS
difficult pick on the list. But the numbers do not lie. From 1988-2003, Roy produced a 418-101 victory-loss tally, which is the best victory percentage of any Kansas coach, won nine conference titles and made the NCAA tournament in 14 consecutive years. His 2001-2002 squad is still the only team in Big 12 history to go 16-0 in conference play. But his biggest legacy is his failure to win a national title in any of his four Final Four appearances.
4. Marian Washington: For 31 years, Washington represented Kansas women's basketball. Her Jayhawk career yielded 560 victories, 17 20-victory seasons, 11
NCAA tournament berths, seven conference titles and six conference tournament championships. She also started the women's track program at Kansas and

was the first female president of the Black Coaches Association.
3. Larry Brown: His stay at
too short, but he certainly got the job done during his five years. Brown made the NCAA tourney every year he coached at A l l e n
BANKS
Fieldhouse and reached the Final Four twice, winning the national title in 1988. After posting a .754 winning percentage from 1984-1988, he bolted to professional basketball, where he recently won the 2004 NBA title with the Detroit Pistons.
BROWN
2. Bob Timmons: As a coach in the 1960s and 1970s, he helped the men's and women's cross country and track teams reach new heights. Timmons' tremendous successes include national championships in cross country, 1966; indoor track, 1969-1970; and outdoor track for the 1970 season. The legacy of the man who coached Jim Ryun lives on and the annual cross country invitational bears his name.
1. Forrest "Phog" Allen: He is the
longest tenure men's basketball coach at 39 years and holds the record for most victories at Kansas with 590. Allen jumped quickly into coaching by assuming the coaching
PETER GREVOR
ALLEN
position the year after his graduation and even coached the football team to a 5-2-1 record one year. Upon his retirement in 1956, Allen left the Kansas bench, but the mystic "Phog" of his past still remains in the fieldhouse named in his honor.

SPECIAL TO THE KANSAI
Nadine Cosmo draws blood from Debra Olberding, Seneca freshman,yesterday afternoon in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The Community Blood Center sponsored the event.
The appeal went out across the airwaves and TV screens throughout northeastern Kansas in late August. "We had to explain how dire the need was," said Kathy Belanger, recruiter for the Community Blood Center in Lawrence.
"Then people just started to come in."

The center had a blood shortage and more than 800 donors answered the request.
Belanger said the center would put out another emergency call for blood donations if donations do not increase. Donations are at an all-time low, and the shortage in Lawrence is part of a

Korean War Memorial to honor 64
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Forgotten KU soldiers who died in the 1950 Korean War are finally on the verge of recognition. The University of Kansas' Korean War Memorial is nearly finished.
Climbing
- "The goal is to be done by the middle of October, and we should make that all light," Warren Corman, University architect, said.
A hammered copper and brass sixfoot Korean crane sculpture will also be added, closer to the dedication in April
Corman said the main construction left was the ornamental iron railings that would go between the two brick pillars. The railings are scheduled to be delivered in the next two or three weeks.
He said plaques for the Memorial were being made in Kansas City, Mo., and would be installed in the next few weeks. One plaque will explain the 1950 Korean War and the other will list 64 names — 63 of KU alumni, students and faculty who died and one of an alumnus who was missing in action.
2005. Jon Havener, professor of design, will design the sculpture, which will depict three or four birds — Korean cranes — aligning together and looking up at the sky, Corman said.
The Korean War Memorial is located above Potter Lake along Memorial Drive, west of the Campanile. The University's other war memorials include the Kansas Memorial Union, Memorial Stadium for World War I, the Campanile for World War II and the Vietnam Memorial, north of the Chi Omega fountain at the intersection of West Campus Road and Memorial Drive.
University architect Warren Corman examines the unfinished Korean War Memorial.
Scarffe said the project got rolling when Yong L. Kim, Leawood resident, donated $30,000 in June 2003. He said final funding was secured by a $50,000 donation from the International Communication Foundation of Seoul, South Korea in April 2004. Jong Woo Han, chairman of the board of the Sungkok Journalism Foundation in Seoul, was instrumental in arranging the ICF's donation.
Cindy Yeo KANSAN
The concept of a Korean War Memorial is not new to the University.
A total of $120,000 was raised to
build the memorial. Apart from the donations by Kim and the ICF, several other sources have funded the project. The KU Korean Association, an alumni chapter in Seoul, gave $10,000 and five South Korean corporations combined to contribute $15,000.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the "Proud to Be a Jayhawk" tailgating fundraising promotion at KU home football games has gone to the Korean Memorial Fund, said Todd Cohen, associate director for University Relations. As of last fall, $2,481 has been given to the Korean War Memorial Fund over the last three years, Cohen said.

Kobach coming to Wescoe

Kris Kobach is scheduled to speak to students tomorrow on Wescoe Beach about issues concerning them as a part of Civic Literacy Week.
Kobach is the Republican challenger to Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) for the 3rd District U.S. House Seat in Kansas.
He will be on Wescoe Beach from 11 a.m. to noon tomorrow, said Katie Wolff Shawnee senior and chairwoman of the Student Legislative Awareness Board.

KOBACH
Wolff said Kobach's appearance was a part of a series of national political candidates appearing on campus this week to promote civic involvement on the collegiate level.
"There are a lot of implications for students in the races: financial, economic and social as well," Wolff said.
"Especially with federal officers, there's a mystique surrounding them," she said. "Inviting the candidates themselves helps students realize that they're normal people doing the best they can."
Second District Democratic challenger for U.S. House Nancy Boyda was on campus Monday.
She said the 2nd and 3rd District races for U.S. House would provide two distinct options for students.
Moore and U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kansas) had to back out because of their duties in Washington, Wolff said.
Todd Abrajano, campaign manager for the Kobach campaign, said Kobach's message would resonate well with students.
"Kris' message is one of opportunity for the future," he said.

Gary Hart to speak, watch debate today in Lied
Former U.S. Senator and two-time presidential candidate Gary Hart is scheduled to speak at the Lied Center tonight and answer questions after the first presidential debate.
Hart will give a speech, Security in the New Age of the 21st Century, at the Lied Center at 7 p.m., followed by a viewing of the first presidential debate.
Hart's focus on national security would be a good complement to the presidential debate, said Victor Bailey, director of the Hall Center for the Humanities.
"When we first invited him, we had no idea the first presidential debate would fall on the same night," Bailey said. "It's actually added to his visit. The coincidence is quite nice."

Bush records still hot issue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush was never disciplined while serving in the Texas Air National Guard, never failed a physical and never asked his father or family friends for help to get him into the guard during the Vietnam War, the White House said yesterday.
The White House answers came in response to a dozen questions submitted in light of new records detailing Bush's Guard service and allegations
that have surfaced this election season. The Texas Air National Guard stripped Bush of his pilot status in August 1972 for failing to take the annual medical exam required of all pilots. Former Air National Guard officials say it was rare for a pilot to skip his physical exam.
that have surfaced this election season.
Among the belatedly disclosed records was Bush's official flight logs as a fighter pilot, showing he logged more than 300 hours in military jets but had reverted to a two-seat training jet several times in his final weeks as a pilot in 1972.
In its written answers, the White House said, "There could be many reasons why an individual pilot would fly in a training plane, including availability of the planes."
The White House said Bush fulfilled his Guard duty completely, even after ending his pilot's career to go to Alabama to work on a political campaign. Bush believed he was going to work in a "non-flight capacity" in Alabama and fulfilled his commitment doing administrative tasks, the White House said.

Martha Stewart 'living soon in West Virginia prison
NEW YORK — Martha Stewart will do her time farther from home than she had hoped, at a remote West Virginia prison where inmates sleep in bunk beds and rise at 6 a.m. to do menial labor for pennies an hour.
The millionaire celebrity homemaker said yesterday that she has been assigned to the minimum-security women's prison at Alderson.
Stewart, convicted in March of lying about a stock sale, had asked to serve her five-month prison term in Danbury, Conn., close to her 90-year-old mother and her own home in nearby Westport.
MOJAVE, Calif. — Ignoring a warning to abort the flight, a test pilot took a stubby-looking rocket plane on a white-knuckle ride past the edge of the atmosphere yesterday, completing the first stage of a quest to win a $10 million prize.
SpaceShipOne rolled toward space at nearly three times the speed of sound. It reached an altitude of 64 miles.
Spaceship designer Burt Rutan said he asked pilot Michael Melvill to shut down the engine, but Melvill kept going until he reached the altitude specified under the rules for the Ansari X Prize, a bounty offered to the first privately built, manned rocket ship to fly in space twice in a span of two weeks.

How does camping for basketball games work
Camping for tickets is a great way to get good seats for basketball games, and a great way to show that you're a fan. It's completely fandriven: KU Athletics doesn't administer or oversee camping in any way.
Basically, a group signs up at the beginning, and has to be represented by at least one person from 6 a.m. to midnight, every day. If your roll is taken and a group has no representative, that group loses its place in line.

Fifteen states and four countries later, Kansas is the worst place Hilary Tilkens, Edmond, Okla., sophomore, has lived when it comes to her allergies. Tilkens has moved around most of her life because her father is in the Air Force.
Tilkens said that she never had allergies on the coast or in England. When she moved to the Midwest, her allergies kept getting worse. Tilkens had a blood test that determined she was allergic to cats, fresh-cut grass, mold and ragweed. Tilkens said she suffers from congestion, headache, blood-shot and watering eyes and lots of sniffling. A few weeks ago Tilkens had a fever and went to Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"I was tested for everything, but I knew that it was just my allergies." Tilkkens said.
Tilkens was told that staying indoors would help with her allergies, but it was one thing she just couldn't do. Tilkens is a
"It's not preventing me from doing anything, but it does make it a little more difficult sometimes." Tilkens said.
Allergies affect between 40 million and 50 million Americans each year, according to the Asthma and Allergy Center Web site. At least 35.9 million people suffer from hay fever, which leads to eight million visits to office-based physicians each year.
Patricia Denning, physician at Watkins Health Center, estimated that one third of her patients' visits per day had to do with allergies. She has seen an increase in visits for allergies, but she said this happens every year during the ragweed season. The ragweed season in Kansas starts mid-August and runs through the end of October.

of the ragweed belt of the United States, so it is true when people say they've never had allergies until they came to Kansas," Denning said.
The classic symptoms of allergies are red, watery, itchy eyes and a red, swollen, sneezey nose, Denning said. These symptoms can develop into sinus headache, ear ache and coughing. These can worsen to sinus and ear infections when thickened
mucus doesn't drain and creates a home for bacteria growth. Associated asthma is a problem during the allergy season and can lead to wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing.
The Watkins Pharmacy sells 20 tablets of Claritin for $22.77 and 12 tablets of an off-brand, Alaveri, for $11.85.
Treating allergies can start without a trip to the doctor. Chances of getting rid of allergy symptoms with over-the-counter medications are good, Denning said. Denning recommends Claritin Lotradine because it doesn't cause drowsiness and is effective in treating symptoms. The cost of some over-the-counter medications comes to an estimated dollar a day, but if you shop around and buy larger quantities, you can find better deals. Denning said.
If over-the-counter antihistamine are not working, the next step is to make an appointment with a doctor to make sure allergies are really the problem. The doctor may prescribe antihistamines, such as Allegra or Zyrtec, or a prescription nasal spray. Watkins does not give steroid
injections to battle allergies because adverse reactions to the steroid can last up to three months. Denning said.
"Allergy testing is expensive so you'll want to make sure your insurance will pay for it," Denning said.
If these treatments aren't working, you may want to be tested to see what you are allergic to.
An allergy test would consist of comprehensive history and patch testing. Patch testing is when skin is pricked with a small amount of the allergen. The skin reacts to shows a person's allergies. Based on the reaction, the doctor may recommend allergy shots. Wattkins does not test for allergies, but it does give prescribed allergy shots, Denning said.
There are three allergist doctors in Lawrence where allergy tests are administered: Warren Frick, John Martinez and Ronald Weiner, all located at 346 Maine St. The Allergy & Asthma Clinic, 1112 W. 6th St., also tests for allergies.

Senate receives proposal for shorter classes
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Classes held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the University of Kansas may be a few minutes shorter come Spring 2006.
The 80-minute classes may be shortened to 75-minutes to allow a longer break between classes, after a survey administered by Don Steeples, Vice Provost for Scholarly Support. His survey found 63 percent of faculty members on the Lawrence campus supported the shortening.
Steeples presented a list of proposals to change class schedules at the full Student Senate meeting last night. He asked for
Senate's approval of the proposals by way of a resolution, which would state Senate's official stance on the proposals.
Another proposal would do away with 7.30 a.m. classes by pushing the start time to 8 a.m. According to Steeples' proposal research, students were more likely to enroll in later classes.
In full Senate legislation:
Student Senate voted to mandate that the Campus Safety Advisory Board fund JayWalk, the campus peer walking program. This came after a heated debate about where the funding for JayWalk would come from at last night's full-Senate meeting. Senate voted to amend the bill to fund JayWalk to $5,150 to pay for
both the fall and spring semesters.
Using money from Campus Safety Advisory Board may cripple expansion of JayWalk, said Chris Janish, Campus Safety Advisory Board chairman, Janish, Wichita junior, said JayWalk may not have enough money to start satellite sites at residence halls.
The Campus Safety Advisory Board will fund JayWalk because its purpose is to make campus a safer place, said Kristan Seibel, Junior/Senior CLAS senator. Student Senate reconsidered the following tabled legislation from the full Senate meeting two weeks ago:
A bill to allot general funding of $200 to the Korean Student Association passed. Senate tabled the bill because the
group did not have any English translation at meetings or on the group's Web site. In Senate's rules and regulations, all groups funded by Student Senate must be accesible to students.

Psychic: BTK 'nice ordinary'
WICHITA — A British psychic who came to Wichita with a film crew to look into the BTK serial killer case, says the killer is an "ordinary" person.
"He is an ordinary, ordinary person. He would be just an ordinary, nice guy. At least he's a nice guy 95 percent of the time."
"I felt he's either a maintenance man or a plumber, that kind of profession," said Dennis McKenzie, a clairvoyant from Cambridge, England. "And I'm almost certain that he works for himself."
In a series of letters signed BTR — which stands for "bind, torture, kill" — the killer has claimed responsibility for eight deaths in Wichita between 1974 and 1986. The communications had stopped for more than two decades before resuming this year.
McKenzie, 50, and the film crew toured a couple crime scenes, hoping to gain insight into the identity of the BTK Killer. Bernie Drowatzky, the former lead investigator in the BTK slayings and now the police chief in Kaw City, Okla., drove to Wichita to accompany McKenzie.
The camera was rolling as Drowatzky and McKenzie walked up to a small green house, where Anna Williams nearly became BTK's eight victim on April 28, 1979. The killer broke into her home but left after grown tired of waiting for her.
Mark Soldinger, a producer and director for Firecracker Films, said the one-hour program probably would air early next year in England as part of a series about extraordinary people.
McKenzie and the film crew spent several days in Wichita. Their stops included the home where four members of the Joseph Otero family were killed on Jan. 15, 1974.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Watch debates, demand more from candidates
Tonight's first Presidential Debate will be watched intently for many reasons. Will Senator John Kerry present a warm, friendly persona, or will he be tagged as a distant academic type? Will President George W. Bush mispronounce any names, countries or types of weapons? Or will he continue to trounce his opponents by displaying himself as the kind of guy voters would want to have a beer with?
Why should either candidate take a chance on showing the intellectual capacity needed for the world's most powerful office, when the media and viewers might be more concerned with appearance?
With these questions to look forward to in a three-part presidential debate series questions of substance might be overlooked. After all, in a 2000 campaign that turned out to be much more important than most Americans and journalists believed at the time, the general discussion around the debates concerned the behavior and appearance of both candidates, and not so much what they said.
As long as they show up, stick their lines and look into the correct cameras, each side will call it a victory.
For all the emphasis, time and energy put into the debates (as the 32-page "memorandum of understanding" rules agreed to by both campaigns, makes painfully clear), lucid, logical answers seem not only unexpected tonight, but discouraged as well.
In other words, lowering expectations is the biggest and most important contest in this debate season.
After all, what is actually said in the debates is not even used; most of the focus on the part of the media will be on what happens in
the post-debate "spin rooms", in which surrogates from both campaigns will work furiously to work over the press in hopes of gaining favorable impressions for their guy.
In 2000, Gore appeared to "win" the first debate in the eyes of many journalists immediately after it finished. Yet, later that night, and for the rest of the week, the focus shifted to his "aggressiveness" and how he flubbed the name of a FEMA director.
George Bush, in comparison, benefited from the low expectations that had been established by his campaign, and was hailed as the more consistent performer in the debates.
So why even watch tonight? Because despite low expectations, vague platitudes, "spin rooms", hyper-caffeinated campaign staff, hyper-bored journalists and two candidates who may be getting on the nerves of more people than they would care to know, the debates represent an ideal for our Republic.
The prospect of the two nominees for president, engaging each other in formal debate over which one has the best vision and strategy for the nation, is one that we can all see a need for.
The three debates spread out over the next few weeks represent the only chances we will have to compare the two candidates side by side, even if we can only compare the way they perform and not what they say.
Admittedly, it's not much, but in a political climate that focuses more on not losing than anything else, it'll have to do.
Besides, the only way to raise expectations is to demand more from our candidates throughout the next month and beyond. How can we know what they are giving us now unless we watch tonight?

Homeless need better solutions
"The homeless are just like everybody else." we're constantly told.
Well, in a sense, yes. They are human and they are carbon-based life-forms. No one is arguing that the homeless are space aliens or androids.
FRESH ARRAH
But most of us have a place to live, and most of us don't have serious drug or mental-health problems as 86 percent of homeless adults do, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
I used to offer to buy homeless people meals whenever they asked me for money. In Boulder, Colo., I ate with a doubtful character who said he preferred alcohol to food and that he'd been hit by a car. Having witnessed him wandering obliviously through traffic, I didn't find it hard to believe.
My last homeless dinner date was an amiable fellow who appeared to have gotten high and never came down and seemed unaware that the Vietnam War was over. He told me he was a hippie and that his job was "to make people smile."
FRESH TARGUE
I walked away from this encounter feeling like a chump for subsidizing his degenerate hippie lifestyle. My money could have been more constructively spent on a donation to an organization that helps the homeless become self-sufficient.
Some of the most well-intentioned efforts to help the homeless are counterproductive.

No-strings-attached charities like Jubilee Cafe encourage a culture of dependency because they don't require recipients to search for work or receive drug treatment or job skills training. Responsible charities differentiate
In New York City, the Times Square Business Improvement District (BID) offered government-subsidized housing to a total of 206 individuals. Of the 37 individuals who even visited the BID respite center, which offered free food, clothing and shelter, only 15 agreed to stay overnight. After spending $700,000 and a year in homeless outreach, the BID managed to give away only two apartments. The solution to homelessness, it seems, isn't housing. Nor is it handouts.
In San Francisco, the homeless actually receive a monthly stipend. Not surprisingly, the homeless population has mushroomed. It isn't a coincidence that "progressive" communities such as Lawrence, New York and San Francisco have burgeoning homeless populations.
Progressive policies aren't just unhelpful. They're actually responsible for landing many homeless on the streets in the first place. The progressive notion that institutionalization is cruel and that it is better for the mentally-ill
to be "in the community" led many mental hospitals to close and forced them to release their patients. Deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill, who are no better equipped to take care of themselves than a minor, isn't compassionate, it's neglectful.
The most effective method for getting the homeless off the streets is to enforce existing laws against panhandling and street living. Able-bodied homeless should be required to live in shelters, work and undergo drug treatment, if necessary. Disbanded mental institutions should be recommissioned to institutionalize mentally-ill homeless.
If this approach seems too harsh to you, simply put out a sign that reads "Homeless live here," and turn your yard into a hobo encampment. But don't camp out on my curb unless you want to be chased away with a leaf blower.
The primary cause of homelessness is drug and alcohol abuse, chronic irresponsibility, anti-social behavior, poor mental health or some combination thereof. For that reason treatment, not housing is the solution. As Scott Shuger wrote in The Washington Monthly, "There can be all the low cost housing in the world and an untreated paranoid won't set foot in it and an untreated schizophrenic might burn it down ... And a drug addict will spend the rent money on crack."
The homeless are emphatically not "just like everybody else." To pretend otherwise is to overlook the solutions that hold the promise to help them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The column incorrectly stated that Section 215 of the Patriot Act gives the government the right to ban any writings it deems dangerous or threatenng. This allegation is not only incorrect; it is so wide of the actual text as to be unrecognizable.
In no way does Section 215 of the Patriot Act, or any other provision of the Patriot Act, or any other provision of federal law, authorize the government to ban any writings. In fact, Section 215 specifically prohibits any use of its authorization, which would contravene the First Amendment protections.

Parker, who edits the publication, admits there are days she can't believe Liberty Press is still going 10 years later.
At one point, Parker had to sell her car to keep the business
aftoil. Now the publication is grossing $100,000 a year, said Vinnie Levin, managing editor of Liberty Press and Parker's longtime partner.
Liberty Press, which averages 64 pages, has outlasted 24 other gay and lesbian publications based in Wichita, Levin said. Parker, a Wichita native, saw a need for a publication to connect the gay and lesbian communities across the state.

education and national security, and that because Kobach was a law professor and teacher of constitutional law at UMKC, he was more in tune with the needs of students.
Josh Steward, Hays senior and vice chairman of the KU College Republicans, said he thought Kobach would appeal to undecided voters on campus.
"There's a lot of people who have already made up their mind to vote for him, and a lot of people who have already made up their mind to vote against him," he said. "If people have stayed undecided in this campus atmosphere, they're probably going to be more conservative."

BLOOD: Drive needs more donors by tomorrow

attorney and was very articulate, and would be likely to convince undecided voters to vote for him.
"This morning when we took inventory, we had 26 pints of O-negative blood; that's a quarter of the minimum amount we want on hand," said Bree Cox, communication manager for the American Red Cross Central Plains Region Blood Services in Wichita.
The shortage began last year in late December and continued into April, Cox said.
By August, supplies of all blood types, especially O-negative blood, were dangerously low and have remained low since then.
"We've had to postpone elective surgeries," said Humbina Harper, medical laboratory technician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. "The supply is so low, we're saving what we have for trauma."
Type O-negative blood is the most commonly used type of blood because it is the "universal" type; people of any blood type can receive O-negative blood. Trauma patients who need a transfusion are given type O-negative blood first and then are typed and given their specific blood type later. Patients with O-negative blood can only receive O-negative blood.
"We have had to ask hospitals to be sparing with it," Belanger said. "We're that low right now."
"M medicine has advanced,
but that means more donations are needed. What we see is that the number of donors is actually falling."
American Red Cross Central Plains Region communications manager
The shortage isn't necessarily caused by a lack of donors, Cox said. Factors such as new treatments and increased oncology practice require more blood.
Also, the baby boomer generation donates blood at a much higher rate than its children, but that generation is aging and needs more blood. Younger people are less likely to donate than older people, and that gap is also becoming a problem, according to the United Blood Services Web site.
"We're living longer," Cox said. "Medicine has advanced, but that means more donations are needed. What we see is that the number of donors is actually falling."
The American Red Cross supplies blood to 106 hospitals in the Midwest region, and Community Blood Centers supply 75 hospitals, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Both organizations have been hit hard by the shortage.
"If we can't get supplied by Lawrence, we have to call units in from Topeka or Kansas City." Harper explained. "It's more expensive in the end for the patients."
Michael Harry, Spring Hill senior, is familiar with the transfusion process.
When he was 15, Harry had an accident with a belt sander and had to have a blood transfusion.
"Basically, it caught my forearm and started ripping," Harry said. "The transfusion and stuff is a blur because I lost a lot of blood."
Harry received a pint of blood during treatment. Harry was a trauma patient and he most likely received O-negative blood.
"I received blood before, so giving blood is important," Harry said. "I'd say I'm appreciative to someone for doing it."
Belanger said college-age students were generally good about donating blood, especially due to the fact they see it as an opportunity to save lives.
Nathan Hartshorne Overland Park junior, believes there are several reasons to donate blood.
"Really, there are three reasons why I give: to help other people, it's healthy for the body because then it has to
regenerate the blood, and I like getting my cholesterol results in the mail," Hartshorne said.
According to the American Red Cross, one in every three people will be in need of a blood product in his or her lifetime.
"Think of yourself and your two best friends," Cox said. "One of you will need blood. And the last thing you want to think about when you need that blood is whether it's on the shelf for you to use or not."
Participation in blood drives is almost five percent in Kansas, and 60 percent of the population is eligible to donate blood. The American Red Cross estimates that 500 donors are needed to supply one day's worth of blood, and another 30 to provide platelets.
Belanger said that receiving 100 units of blood was a good day for the KU Blood Drive, and she would like to see 457 units or more from this year's drive.
"If people would just come in, if we could just get more of the population in here," said Cox.
"It's seven minutes of your life, but it's the rest of theirs. That's something to consider."
The KU Blood Drive continues through tomorrow.
So far, the drive has collected 167 units since it started on Monday.

Museum gives contemporary Native-American view
By STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
ALPHAZONIA MEDICAL SOCIETY
The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., opened last week. Five University of Kansas students attended the opening.
Contributed photo
The museum focuses on contemporary Native-American life, said Bobbi Rahder, faculty member in the Center for Indigenous Nations Studies. Rahder said a new track, Indianous Museum Studies, had been started for students in the Indigenous Studies program.
JoAnne Grandstaff (from left), Tony Rogers, Travis Prater, Mary Lettau, Johnnie Fields, Johna Naw Noy and Jason Lewis are all faculty or students in the Indigenous Studies program. The group waited in line with their banner during the procession marking the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian on Sept. 21.
Students work with a collection of more than 9,000 artifacts in the University Museum of Anthropology, but Rahder said she wanted students to be able to see other native collections and museums. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provided $2,000 for the trip and the Indigenous Studies department provided the rest.
The group made a banner, which read "KU Indigenous Nations Studies Program," and marched in the procession. Rahder said she thought at least 40,000 to 60,000 people marched along the Mall in to the Capitol. The procession lasted from 9 a.m. to about noon. The group arrived in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 20.
"One thing I like about this museum is that it concentrates on present-day Indians and it's not a historical kind of museum, which is what most museum"

are," Rahder said. "So people get the impression that Indians only lived in the past and are not part of present-day culture."
Every culture represented in the museum has four community curators for each represented tribe and who have decided how to portray their culture, design their exhibit and choose what artifacts to use.
The museum is located on the Mall in Washington, D.C., between the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and the U.S. Botanic Gardens.
"I think it's appropriate that it be on the Mall, and be one of the major museums on the Mall, because they were the first inhabitants of this country and they should be featured in a major way." Rahder said.

The museum is the first to be dedicated exclusively to Native Americans and to feature exhibits made from a Native American viewpoint. The muse-
Three major exhibitions are showing at the museum. The public can see more than 8,000 artifacts from the museum's permanent collection.
Johna Van Noy, New Braumfels, Texas, graduate student in the museum track, had to design a museum for her final project this semester. She was
one of the students who went to Washington, and said seeing another museum provided her with more experience to complete the project. Van Noy, who is not Native American, said she wished more non-Native Americans had attended the procession and opening of the museum.
Noy said. "Groups from South America are very different culturally and they look very different and they wear very different clothes than a group from Alaska."
"I think it could have dispelled some of the myths and the preconceived notion we have of what a Native American is," Van
Travis Prater, member of the Creek and Cherokee Nations, was invited to participate in the procession in Washington, D.C. Prater, a Wichita graduate student in Indigenous Nations Studies, was invited because of his internship through the
Cultural Resources Center, which is affiliated with the National Museum of the American Indian in Maryland.
"I thought it was beautiful and a monument of an undying voice of resistance and empowerment." Prater said.
JoAnne Grandstaff, Kickapoo Nation member, went to Washington, D.C., to do research at the Library of Congress and expected to walk with her tribal affiliation in the procession, but she walked with the University group instead.
People normally get testy waiting in lines and the sun, but not the Kansas group, said Grandstaff, a Topека graduate student and associate editor for the Journal of Indigenous Nations Studies.
"The feeling there was like no other." Grandstaff said. "I don't think any human being can bring that much joy."
Grandstaff thought the good feelings had something to do with other tribes going ahead of the group and performing blessings.
Rahder said the museum's opening would have been a perfect opportunity for the U.S. government to apologize to Native Americans.
"I think that would have been totally appropriate for the grand opening of this museum, but that didn't happen," Rahder said.

Sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo leads the team in game-winning goals and overall points. The soccer team's next home game is Friday against Texas Tech.
Transfer midfielder steps up for Kansas
Sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo hasn't even been on campus a full two months, but she has already made an impact on the soccer field.
Cauzillo, a transfer from Wes Virginia, ranks second on the team in shots on goal, with 22; assists, three; and goals scored, three. She leads the team in game-winning goals with two and overall points with nine. She has also been named Big 12 newcomer of the week.
"I'm a little surprised I have played this well," said Cauzillo. "I've been adjusting to a new system."
adjusting to the new system.
Coach Mark Francis hasn't been caught off guard by Cauzillo's success.
He recruited Cauzillo out of high school and said he was excited when he got the release saying she wanted to talk to Kansas.
Cauzillo said she transferred to Kansas from West Virginia because she didn't like the team attitude or chemistry at her old school.
"I'm not surprised at all that Nicole has played so well," said Francis. "We knew she was a good player. I think the fact that we did real well last year and finished ranked in the top 20 helped us get her."
She hasn't experienced those problems at Kansas and has excelled. She has already exceeded her totals from last year at West Virginia, where she scored three goals and recorded two assists all season.
"The overall team attitude is so much better here," said Cauzillo. "At West Virginia it was more about the individuals. I feel like a real part of the team here."

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The team that surrounds her has played a large role in Cauzillo's early success, she said, because they have gone the extra mile to help her adjust.
"The seniors are great leaders and the coaches always make time to sit down and watch video with you and do extra things. It's just that much easier to get used to the system," she said.
This summer, Cazillo helped her club team win a national title.
Roadtrip guide to Big 12
The taste of that performance still lingers in her mouth, and it keeps her motivated to repeat a championship this year with the Jayhawks. Reaching that goal will be difficult, but if Cauzillo continues the pin-point accuracy with a soccer ball she has displayed so far this season maybe she can duplicate her summer.
"I just want to get that feeling back again," said Cauzillo. "I want to do everything I can to get us to the championship."

This week marks the first road Big 12 Conference game for the Kansas football team, which means many dedicated fans will travel to Lincoln, Neb., and follow the Hawkys in action.
While most fans have already secured their game tickets, they may not have considered what to do before and after the game. Lawrence resident Susan Kraus solved this problem with her book, A Game Day Guide to Towns of the Big 12.
In the 450-page book, Kraus looked at conference town hot spots, from the best shopping spots to the hottest bars.
Kraus began the endeavor about two years ago, and during those two years she traveled to every Big 12 town, some as many as three times. Kraus got the
idea when her husband considered going out of town to see a football game and he couldn't find travel books on Big 12 towns.
"You can use the convention and visitor bureau, and they are fine," Kraus said. "But a lot of it is advertising, and it can be selective."
Kraus thought there had to be a book that would be able to give good information to students and fans who wanted to travel to other towns. She found that not only does the Big 12 not have a book, but no conference in the country does.
Kraus said she couldn't stop thinking about her idea, so she decided to write a book.
When she arrived in the towns she went straight to their convention or visitor bureaus and asked for a town tour.
"I talked to everybody; when I went into restaurants I would talk to the waitresses and the cooks to find out

Nebraska blocks Kansas victory
Coach calls team's play "predictable" as Hawks lose in three games
BY BILL CROSS

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The No.24 Kansas volleyball team suffered its second consecutive sweep by a conference opponent last night. But the team is still upbeat about its chances in the Big 12 Conference, which features six teams in the Top 25.
"Some areas got exposed tonight," coach Ray Bechard said. "But this team continues to get better."
No. 7 Nebraska physically dominated the first two games, 50-13 and 30-14, but Kansas played close in game three before fading to a 30-24 defeat.
Bechard said his team's passing was a problem in every set.
"When we're not in system, when we become predictable, then their physicalness and their block really comes into play," Bechard said.
Game one started with a block by Nebraska outside hitter Sarah Paven. Moments later, she scored a kill, giving her team a 2-1 lead that they would not relinquish.
Three Cornhuskers had an attack percentage of .500 or better in the first game, including .833 by Christina Houghtelling.
Big 12 preseason player of the year Melissa Elmer had six kills on eight attempts.
Nebraska had only one attack error in the first set.
"They had a good game plan, and they knew who to get in front of," Bechard said.
In game two, Nebraska hit well again, posting a .343 percentage.
The Jayhawks showed signs of life, albeit briefly, at the beginning of game two.
They led 2-1 and traded blows with the Cornhuskers for several points, trailing just 11-13 after a kill by freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown.
Then service went to Nebraska, and Houghtelling reeled off six consecutive points, including two aces.
"It's always hard when the energy just automatically goes the other team's way and you have to drag it back over to your court," senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels said. "Tonight, for some reason, the team was off and we couldn't pull it back right away."
After a 10-minute break, Kansas pulled it back.
The Jayhawks led as late as 19-18. Junior outside hitter Paula Caten, who had no kills and 11 errors on 14 attempts in the first two games, reeled off five kills in the final game.
But it wasn't enough. With the set tied at 19, an illegal lift call against Kansas killed a long rally, and momentum swung back to Nebraska, who outscored Kansas 7-1 immediately following the call.
Houghtelling finished the night with a career-high 13 kills while Elmer and preseason conference co-freshman of the year Paven added 11 apiece.

Freshman runner makes big impact
If you saw Colby Wissel on campus with his long hair and laid back appearance, your first thought would be that he is from California, not Elm Creek, Neb., population 900.
GOING DEEP
Iris small town track star is making an immediate impact on Kansas men's cross country team. As a freshman, Wissel started the season with a seventh place finish in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational and a third place finish at the Bob Timmons Classic. Running two of three five-mile races under 26 minutes is pushing Wissel toward freshman phenom status.
ADRENALINE
The instant success comes as little surprise if you know Wissel's high school track résumé. He was state champion nine times in his high school career; three times in cross country, twice in the 1600m, twice in the 3200m and twice in the 3200m relay. Wissel also managed to break the Nebraska

state records in the 1600 and 3200 meters.
Colby Wissel is a freshman on the men's cross country team. Wissel said the competition is what he enjoys most out of running on the team.
Ginny WeathermanKANSAN
This week, Colby Wissel tells about track and much more:
O: How many miles do you run?
6. How many miles do we have some guys that run over 70 miles a week. I run over 60 a week.
7. How fast can you run one mile?
A: In high school I ran it in 4:10.
Q: Why did you pick Kansas for college?
A: Basically it came down between Oregon, Kansas and Tennessee, and I
just felt like I could relate really well to the coaches here and I got along really well with the guys on the team.
Q: What was it like growing up in Elm Creek, Neb.?
A: Elm Creek is a small town out in the middle of Nebraska, but it was pretty cool because my dad was the football coach there so I got to grow up around athletics.
Q: Are girls in Lawrence better looking than at Elm Creek?

I can make a field goal, put me on the team!

I bet if there was a submarine sandwich in the endzone, Mangino would have got there a lot more in the second half.

reah, maybe Mangino should kick a field goal himself or, shit, maybe Baby Jay or...I don't know, somebody
The only thing I got out of that football game was half a sideburned face.

Brian Lewis/KANSAN
I think Mangino needs to set up a meeting with the soccer team.
-
We should get a kicker from the soccer team.
How is it that kickers who only kick during practice can't make simple extra points and what not? Please, someone, help me answer this question.
---
Yeah, my grandma can give the KU kickers some lessons on how to kick that ball.
For Christmas this year, I want a fire truck, a snowmobile, and a person who can kick field goals.

Losing because we missed two field goals, sounds like a familiar situation. Let someone else kick the ball.

Find a kicker for our football team...please!
Kill the kicker!

Pick me! Pick me! wanna kick Kansas! Let me kick! I wanna make a field goal!
Way to go, kicker! You blew another one.
Hope you are happy.

Hurt Tiger withdraws from event
THOMASTOWN, Ireland — Tiger Woods felt stiffness in his back after seven holes yesterday and decided to call it a day, not wanting to aggravate the week-old injury and not entirely certain he would be able to defend his title in the American Express Championship.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The way his year has gone, that's just his luck.
Woods had every reason to look forward to this World Golf Championship event.
It returns to Mount Juliet, where Woods won two years ago by not making a bogey until the 72nd hole and finishing with a 25-under 263, matching his lowest 72-hole score under par.
He has dominated the World Golf Championships, winning eight out of 15 since they began in 1999.
And best of all, he doesn't have to worry about Vilay Singh.
He said he hurt his back a week ago Tuesday when he fell asleep awkwardly on his private plane from New York, where he had spent the day promoting his video game.
Singh, the No. 1 player in the world, was the biggest name among six players, in the top 50 who withdrew from the American Express. Fresh off his eighth PGA Tour victory of the year, Singh chose to stay home with his family in north Florida to cope with damage from Hurricane Jeanne.
Woods hasn't looked like a world-beater all year, and he sure didn't look, like one yesterday as he walked gingerly to the clubhouse for lunch.
"It's spasmed up and hasn't been the same since." Woods said.
He is scheduled to tee off today at 12:50 p.m. with Luke Donald and K.J. Choi, although Woods said there was some doubt he would make it.
Rowing at Oklahoma City, Okla
"Warm-up session will probably determine it," he said. "Today, I loosened up in the (fitness) trailer and I went out and hit a few balls. It was sore, but I could manage that. Then I just quit after seven. I didn't want to push it any further. Maybe I'll get some more treatment on it."
Woods missed the first five weeks of the 2003 season recovering from surgery on his left knee. He also hurt his lower back on the eve of the 2001 Tour Championship, but finished the tournament and tied for 13th.
"I was able to play through that. This one is a little bit different," Woods said. "If I'm able to go, I'll go. If I can't, then I won't. I've never been one to pull out of tournaments and quit just because I'm physically sore. But if I can't actually swing a golf club, then it's pretty tough to play."
He said the soreness is between his shoulder blades and it hurts at impact.
"I'm hitting it much straighter, but it's not going as far — so I guess that's a positive," Woods said, making light of some of his errant tee shots this year.

Baseball in nation's capital a done deal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The last time the nation's capital was home to the national pastime, the game was literally a riot.
Fans stormed the field with two outs in the ninth inning of the Washington Senators' farewell appearance at RFK Stadium on Sept. 30, 1971, upset over owner Bob Short's decision to move the team to Texas. The Senators were leading the New York Yankees 7-5, but the game was not finished and declared a forfeit.
"The kids just went wild," said Charlie Brotman, the longtime Senators public address announcer. "They were tearing up the turf with their hands and putting it in their pockets, going into the dugout. Anything that wasn't nailed down, they were picking up. There was not dissatisfaction. There was hate."
There was also the expectation that, in a few years or so, Major League Baseball would find a way to put a team back in Washington. Instead, the last three decades became an unending parade of frustration as one close call after another failed to materialize. A hopeful city turned into a jilted, jaded city. Baseball in D.C.? Ha! That'll be the day.
The day has finally arrived. Yesterday, Major League Baseball was expected to announce that the Montreal Expos will be relocating to Washington for the 2005 season.
season.
"I've lived here all my life — I was a Washington Senators fan in the old days," retired Washington resident Bob Ryan said. "It's good to have it back."
Baseball takes pride in the fact that its franchises rarely move — the Senators were the last team to relocate — so it took an extremely unusual set of circumstances and a willingness to pay a steep price tag to give Washington its long awaited reward.
awarded reward.
The money-losing Expos were bought by the other 29 major league owners in 2002, and the search began for a new home for the team. Las Vegas; Norfolk, Va.; Monterrey, Mexico; and Portland, Ore., all made bids, but none of those locations could match the Washington area's combination of a wealthy population base and a ready-made stadium that can be used while a state-of-the-art ballpark is being built.
"The stark, staring fact is 'Where else?' said baseball author and political columnist George Will. "You can't do something with nothing. Someday Norfolk-Hampton Roads, maybe. Someday Las Vegas, maybe. Not now. Who can say with a straight face those are better for Major League Baseball than the Washington, D.C., area?"
Even so, deadline after deadline was missed as baseball sought the perfect financial deal. Washington came through with a 8440 million package that includes a new ballpark on the Anacostia River, giving the city a clear advantage over a rival bid from Northern Virginia.
Much of the upfront money would come from a tax on the city's biggest businesses, which the City Council would have to approve. For some, the deal is too generous for a city that struggles to fund schools and city services.

VOLLEYBALL Team must get 'flow going before Baylor
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19
Michael led the Jayhawks with six kills while Brown, who shares freshman of the year honors with Paven, notched five.
Brown moved from opposite hitter to outside hitter because of injuries to sophomore Jana Correa and senior Lindsey Morris. Freshman opposite hitter Tessa Jones started her first match at Brown's normal position.
"I was real nervous, but they told me two days ago, so I had time to get used to it," Jones said.
She said having two players in new positions affected communication on the court.
"Before Saturday against Baylor, we need to work together and get a flow going. It didn't seem like we were ever in a flow tonight," She said. "We'll get it. We have the whole season left."
The Baylor match will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday in Waco, Texas.
Kansas will play host to Kansas State at 7 p.m. next Wednesday at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

You're full of ideas this year, so focus on finding new sources of income. You can find a new way of saving, too, and greatly increase your reserves.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 7.
Money's coming in, possibly for work already done. It's not the result of gambling; that's a good way to lose it all. It might be a rebate or coupon for saving on something you'd buy anyway. Check the papers.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 5.
You're gaining strength and determination, and this is a positive thing. Convince a thoughtless person to consider feelings more. Offer helpful examples.
It'll be hard to find any time to spend on your favorite amusements. You've got a stack of stuff to do for somebody else, it seems. Don't whine. Just make arrangements for doing what you want on Sunday.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Today is a 9.
HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 6.
If you had to make a substitution due to financial restraints, nobody needs to know. Those who do will just think you're smart.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is a 6.
Don't be dismayed if you run up against a solid wall. This is why you're studying to find a way around, or over, or under. You live for impenetrable objects.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 5.
Paying back a debt frees you from a sense of obligation. Don't let this new freedom go to your head, though. Use it responsibly.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is an 8.
The money you have stashed away isn't quite enough to fulfill all of your fantasies and some body else's too. Everything is best done in moderation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 5.
A feeling of calm and certainty should be overtaking you by now. Don't relax your vigilance, however. There are still battles to be won.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is an 8.
Work's required, and access to distant allies is blocked. Don't rely on those who are far away to come to your rescue. Call upon the folks nearby.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 6.
Tempers cool, and it gets easier to find a compromise that everyone can live with. Be thankful, and move quickly to get the whole thing down in writing.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is an 8.
Although your imagination is wandering, home is where you should be. Your vision is not ready to launch yet. Heed a loved one's criticism, too.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 5.
This is a good day for studying, and finances is a good subject. Don't be afraid to be wealthy; you do it very well. Figure out what needs to be done, and then figure out how to do it.

Fighting for the one pool table in the bar gets old. But The Pool Room, located behind the Community Mercantile at Ninth and Iowa streets, relieves these woes.
The Pool Room offers more than 28 tables, including nine-foot-long tables, bar boxes and one snooker table, with smaller-than-normal balls. The two-room bar provides two full-service bars and plenty of space.
Server Josie Nixon, Hillsboro senior, said The Pool Room was an ideal spot for those looking for a good time.
"We offer a friendly wait staff.
plenty of pool tables and inexpressive drinks," Nixon said.
The array of drink specials include 2-for-1 wells on Mondays, $2 Bully pints on Fridays and $5 pitchers every day of Miller High Life and Pabst Red Ribbon.
"We get a good diverse crowd in here, especially with the drink specials and cheap pool. It is so ideal for the college student on a budget." Nixon said.
The Pool Room offers free pool after midnight Sunday through Thursday. All other times it costs 25 cents for nine ball and 50 cents for eight ball.
The Pool Room's basementlike atmosphere includes a fireplace, jukebox and an abundance of video games. The bar
also has three jumbo televisions.
Kansas graduate Chris Dover said he really enjoyed what The Pool Room had to offer.
"It is a great place for my buddies and I to play pool without feeling rushed to finish for the next players," Dover said. "Also, the food is pretty good and so are the drinks."
The Hole in the Wall Grill, in The Pool Room, offers regular bar food, including burgers, hot dogs and fried goods. The kitchen is open until 1 a.m. daily.
The Pool Room offers two leagues. The amateur pool league is for beginners, and the straight pool league is for the more advanced. The Billiard Congress of America league is forming now at The Pool Room. Members of

WISSEL: Likes Husker football Jayhawk men's basketball team
Q: What do you plan to do after college?
A: Right now I'm trying to get into the business school, so hopefully I'd like to do business management or something like that.
Q: In your free time, what do you like to do in Lawrence?
A: I like to hang out with the guys on the team and playing Playstation.
Ω: What are your goals in life?
- Edited by Janette Crawford
A: Individually, I just want to help my teammates get better and make sure I'm a scorer for our team.
A: Running-wise, in high school our track team won 11-consecutive state titles so I was pretty proud of that fact.
Q: What are you most proud of?
Q: Being a fresman from Nebraska, what's your opinion about K-State and Missouri?
A: Being from Nebraska we hated K-State anyway, so that worked out pretty nice, but I never had much against Missouri and now I do.
Q: Do you ever get sick of running?
Q: What do you think about when you're running?
A: You can get tired of it, but it's one of those things you just kind of develop a passion for over the years, so not really.
Q: Would running in the Olympics be a reasonable goal for you?
A: When you're racing, you just think about going faster or trying to push yourself.
A: Maybe, that's a long way off but it's pretty cool because Charlie Gruber is around here and he was just in the
Olympics, so it's definitely something to keep in mind. But making it to the Olympics is pretty amazing.
Q: How do you like living away from your family?
A: It's nice not having my mom nagging at me for everything, so that's pretty cool.
Q: Is the team a pretty tight group when you're not running?
Q: Do you get a hard time for being a freshman?
A: Yeah we are, even the older guys — they're pretty cool to the freshman and we hang out a lot, so it's a pretty good time.
A: It's not too bad. Actually, there's not initiation crap, so that makes it a lot nicer.
Q: What's the best sport at the University?
A: I'm a big Husker fan for football, so I'm gonna have to go with the men's basketball team, but track's coming up — track's making a run for it.
Q: What kind of music do you like?
A: I like classic rock like Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Eagles. They are probably my three favorite bands.
Q: How will the team finish this year?
A: I think we got a really good shot. Colorado is really good at cross country so hopefully we can finish second in the Big 12 and we'd like to be a top-20 team at nationals.
Q: Will you be the best runner on the team in a year or two?
A: I don't know, we have a lot of good runners and Benson is only a sophomore, but you'd like to see yourself be the top guy; that's what you shoot for, it's a goal.
