This interview with Kris Kobach, the Republican challenger for the 3rd District U.S. House seat in Kansas, is the second in a series designed to give students more information about the race. Kobach's opponent is U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.). The University Daily Kansan staff writer Andy Hyland talked with Kobach yesterday during Kobach's campus visit.
Q: What do you worry about when you think about the state of the nation in 10 years?
A: I worry that we're not doing enough to address the threat of terrorism. There are very specific flaws in our
laws right now ... For example, being a member of a terrorist organization is not a basis for deporting someone under U.S. law right now. There are certain programs that allow terrorists to enter the country legally that are problematic and need reform. There are all kinds of problems that we could fix in our legal system that we could fix and make real gains in the war against terrorism, but it's not happening right now.
Q: What are your plans for education, particularly for college students here in Kansas?
A: I think it's critical that we give tax benefits to saving for college. I think that one of the most important ways we

Fox she would have like to hear how these issues would affect her life in the immediate future.
"They also didn't talk enough about reducing terrorism. There were not enough facts." she said.
DEBATE IN-DEPTH
For notable quotes from last night's presidential debate, see page 5A.
A group of more than a hundred faculty and students watch the first presidential debate in the Big 12 and Parlor rooms at the Kansas Union.
Fox was one of about 200 students who watched last night's presidential debates at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union last night. The event was a part of Civic Literacy week, designed to raise awareness and turnout on campus.
The audience included people from all parts of the political spectrum: Democrats, Republicans, undecided voters and even supporters of third-party candidate Ralph Nader.
After the 90-minute debate, moderators led students in a roundtable discussion. Fox, who is voting for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), said she thought Bush tried to instill fears in the hearts of Americans rather than keeping America safer.
"Bush was more focused on winning hearts of patriots," Fox said.
Erica Viviano, Alton, Ill., sophomore, said she was turned off by Kerry's stronger stance on the war against terrorism. She said she didn't agree with his language; he used the words "kill" and "attack" in the debate.
Students panned some of the cordiality the candidates displayed. Luke Doyle, Denver sophomore, said the candidates' exchange about their daughters was not necessary.

Speaker criticizes war
Former presidential hopeful watches debate at Lied

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The war on terror is leading us down the wrong path, said Gary Hart, former Democratic U.S. Senator from Colorado and presidential hopeful.
Hart delivered the first installment in the Hall Center for the Humanities Lecture series at the Lied Center last night, and he was critical of both the Bush administration's war in Iraq and the war on terror.
Hart said the administration hid the real reasons for going to war in Iraq from the American people.
He said the reasons were to gain influence in that region of the world and to secure oil for America and its allies.
Hart said "grand strategy" should incorporate several different aspects. America should transform itself from a consumer of goods into a producer of goods,"strengthen and expand our existing democratic alliances," and employ those alliances against terrorism he said.
Hart said the war on terror was not a

Hart also criticized the administration for not following the recommendations of the bipartisan U.S. Commission on National Security, of which he was a member.
Gary Hart, former U.S. Senator, relaxes in the Green Room at the Lied Center before giving his speech. Hart spoke about "Security in the New Age of the 21st Century" last night right before the Presidential Debate.
The commission convened in 1998 to address growing concerns of the war on terror, Hart said. He said the commission recommended that the Bush
administration create a Department of Homeland Security on Jan. 31, 2001.

Butt cracks. In case you haven't noticed, these crevices and their fleshy counterparts are moon shining all over campus.
In a five-day school week, I see more crack than the 1995 season of Cops. I can't go an entire day without being subjected to someone's bare bottom. And as I sit in class face to face with a someone else's cleft, I wonder: What do my peers think about all this?
Crack attack
Cleaning up our classrooms one butt crack at a time.
Someone has a little "crack" problem, eh?
You are such a wise "crack!"
I sent a questionnaire to about 50 students in my classes, 21 responded. This nonscientific survey reveals that 57 percent see crack at least twice a week. Of these sightings, 43 percent occur in the classroom. But overall, the consensus reports that people are exposed to bare keister just about everywhere, and the feelings about this are mixed. Respondents say that seeing crack makes them feel sad, embarrassed, grossed out, annoyed, disgusted, humored, afraid, horrified and violated. One male says that when he sees female crack, he wonders if the girl is hot. A whopping forty-three percent say crack makes them think of fat men: "Fat man bending over," "old fat man who smells" and "Dan Ackroyd's character (the Norge) on SNL" are among the responses.
aside, Jeremy Furse (cq), owner of Britches Clothing Co., 843 Mass., says low-rise jeans aren't going anywhere this fall. And girls aren't the only ones bearing low waistlines. Adam Stasziewicz (cq), manager of Easton's Limited, 839 Mass., says that men's low-rise jeans have sold just has much in the past year as the regular-rise jeans.
Cleaning up our classrooms one butt crack at a time.
Someone has a little "crack" problem, eh?
You are such a wise "crack!"
on SHE Josh Levine (cq), Omaha junior, says he is sometimes annoyed by crack exposure. He says that crack violators should mind how their clothes fit. "I feel really bothered if it's just out of control disgusting. But if it's not all hanging out, crack away."
And the source of all the fleshy cleft? You are probably familiar with the low-rise culture of jean-wear. It was a mixture of Britney Spears and the late nineties that started this generation of hip huggers. My respondents seem to like them. Ninety percent of females and 43 percent of males swear by hipstee jeans.
You may have heard that showing flesh is out and the conservative look is in. This makes sense by myself.
While you may be wondering how the school administration feels about this, there isn't much they can do. Jane Tuttle, assistant to the Dean of Students, says the only thing that KU can prohibit is showing up to school in the nude. And unlike a Louisiana state legislator, who proposed outlawing pants that expose your arse crack in public, KU is not into the dress code business. Even though there's no KU policy about butt cracks, you could still get in trouble. In fact, the university policy against sexual harassment says that conduct could be considered sexual harassment if it interferes with an individual's academic performance or creates an intimidating educational environment. And it does. Bill Staples, professor and chair of sociology, says bearing the skin makes for a negative class experience. "It's distracting. It makes some people feel awkward. And it's not just butt cracks; it's the entire range of dress." Staples says students should be a little bit more discrete. If you feel uncomfortable when sitting behind a crack offender, address the issue and tell them how you feel. Chances are they'll be pretty embarrassed and you'll never have to see that crack again.
When you're out shopping for a pair of low-risers, take a few things into consideration. If your body-type screams babygot-back, you need to be extra careful
1. Get to know your burn
Avoid being a classroom crackster
when picking out your denims. For men with back, I recommend the relaxed fit. Check out Levi's SilverTab Low and Loose. The waistline still sits on the hips, but is loose enough in the leg that it will keep you out of the crack-zone. For women with back, Diesel's Fikus bootcut jean works because it still has a relatively low-rise and the double button closure will help keep your waste line from expanding and your crack line from peeking.
2.Shake your bum
You'll need to take the denim for a little test drive. For this step, bring a friend or a pocket mirror if you don't trust your own instincts. Try them on, kick out your legs, and wiggle your buns. To avoid embarrassment, I'd do this behind the curtain. After you work them in a little, practice your squats and crouch down as far as possible. Can you feel the breeze? If you
can see so much as a hint of underwear or crack, put down the denims and get out of there quickly my friend. The only exception to this is if you are prepared to equip yourself with reinforcements.
3. Help a bum out
This is where the reinforcements come into play. If you just had to have the crack enforcers, and you must wear them to class, you'll need some back up. Use a belt! (Suspenders work too.) And last but not least, cover it up. If you must wear crack-bearing jeans, match them up with a longer shirt or jacket. Do your fellow classmates a favor. Just like asking a friend to do a booey check, turn around and ask the person behind you to do a booty check. They'll appreciate returning the favor.
Always practice safe crack.

The Do's and Don'ts of Alcohol Poisoning
Do:
Do:
• Monitor breathing; if the potential victim is taking fewer than 12 breaths per minute, or stops breathing for 10 seconds or more, call 911.
- Touch his skin. If it's clammy, pale or blue, call 911.
- Try to wake him if he passed out. If you can't wake him, call 911.
Don't:
- Give him food, liquid, medicines or drugs to sober him up.
- Give him a cold shower; the shock of the cold water could make him loss consciousness.
· Put another drunk person in charge of him.

The downfall of white clothing is its susceptibility to accruing those unattractive yellowy sweat stains. But you don't have to relegate sweat-affected clothes the back of the closet. Before you do your laundry next time, put your sweat-stained clothes in a bucket with warm water and some white vinegar. Let that soak for a couple of hours and then toss them in with the rest of your laundry as usual. Source www.tinking.com

Midterm munchies
How to expand your mind — and not your ass — while studying.
By Jennifer Voldness, Jayplaywriter
"Snickersl" says Hannah Houlik, Wichita senior, her mouth watering
"No, Phish Food ice Cream!" Retorts Emily Keating, Manhattan senior, offering her opinion on the best Ben and Jerry's treat when she's cramming for a test. Seven questions later, and a whole new topic on the table, Houlik randomly blurs out, "No, rice and Shrimp Rangoon; that's what I crave when I'm freaking out about a test." Clearly the topic of study snacks has been weighing on her mind.

We're all guilty of reaching for the Doritos, jellybeans and soda to keep us energized to pull an all-nighter. Although we crave foods like ice cream and cheeseburgers when we're at our stress limit, they're not the best brain food. These yummy comfort foods can actually be adding to our stress level. Don't feel guilty if you've eaten a container of Pringles in one sitting, though. Our bodies are predisposed to crave sugary, fatty foods when we're under chronic stress, according to a study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco.
We all produce a hormone called cortisol when we're under pressure or in a dangerous situation. When this hormone is produced in abundance, we begin to have those hunger pangs attracting us to cupcakes and Big Macs. A study conducted at the University of California, Irvine found that people under stress are seven times more likely to reach for sweets and fats over healthier options when they're under strain.
David Niven, author of 100 Simple Secrets of Healthy People, says that we choose junk foods in search of sustenance and relief, but in reality, this relief is only temporary. Because stress can raise blood sugar levels on its own, it's important to lower our sugar intake during our most stressful periods.
Obviously most of us aren't going to
reach for a grapefruit or a squash to alleviate our midnight munchies, but there are realistic options for the pizza-addicted college student. Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, says instead of grabbing a burger, opt for lean meats such as turkey or grilled chicken. These will keep your energy levels up longer than fattier red meats, and will make you stay fuller longer. If you're about to reach for a bag of chips, make some popcorn instead, the less fat, the better. When the candy and ice cream cravings are tempting you, get some sugar-free or low-sugar versions of your favorite treat. Chapman says high
sugar foods like candy are counter productive. "They give you a quick rise in sugar, but then you just crash," she says. Although you may think you're sacrificing flavor for health, you may be surprised how tasty these options can be.
It's important to keep in mind that it's impossible to get rid of stress altogether, Niven says, but there are steps we can take to lessen the strain. Who knows? After a long hard week of studying with your new healthy snacks, maybe you'll never want a cheeseburger again. On the other hand, the moment you finish your exam, you may be driving full speed to the nearest McDonald's — and that's OK, too.

Got God?
For a group of KU students, God's not dead. He just doesn't exist
Illustration by Austin Gilmore
By Erik Johnson, Jayplay writer
It's Sunday morning and hundreds of millions of people young and old are waking up and wiping the night's sleep from their eyes. Some don their finest clothes and travel to churches, temples, synagogues and other places of worship to listen to holy men and women preach the good word. Men and women sway in unison, singing powerful gospel choruses while children fidget restgospel churches when lessly in their seats. Others lay thin mats directed toward a holy site, kneel and pray in silence. Sins and other immoral deeds are confessed, sacrifices are made, communions are taken and donations given. But Andrew Stangl is asleep. And he doesn't want to be bothered.
Stangl, Wichita sophomore, is the president of the University of Kansas Society of Open Minded Atheists and Agnostics, a student group that, according to its Website www.ku.edu/~soma, "is devoted to advancing a nonreligious worldview and to challenging religious dogma and the groups that advocate it." The 20 to 30 SOMA members hold weekly meetings discussing various topics and issues, participate in social gatherings and sponsor events to inform students and the general public about secular thought.
dant to evolutionist Charles Darwin and real pain in the
about secular thought.
Students enter college with varying religious attitudes.
The time spent away from the watchful eyes of Mom or Dad is often used for strong reflection of personal beliefs — beliefs that can change dramatically in a short time.
Stangl faded away from the "church scene" earlier in life.
"After I was six my parents stopped taking us to church because they were having problems of their own with the church's teachings," he says. It was years later that Stangl thought a god or other supreme being might not exist at all.
"I wasn't familiar with the terms until someone told me about atheism or agnosticism, and I thought ok, I guess I'm atheist." Stangl says now he considers himself and agnostic-atheist, two often-skewed terms.
and agnostic-atheist, two others show. Atheism is defined as the absence of belief in the existence of a god or gods, generally through deliberate choice or from some natural inability to believe in mounds of religious teachings, which seem to lack credit. In the simplest terms: god does not exist. Agnosticism, on the other hand, doesn't say that god does not exist but rather that it is impossible to know whether god exists. The term 'agnosticism' was coined by T.H. Huxley, confito follow it and always end up falling.
The question of god's existence or nonexistence has no definitive answer on this planet. But according to www.adherents.com, a collection of worldwide spiritual
Church's ass, in 1876. Huxley defined an agnostic as someone who renounced both atheism and theism and who believed the answer to the existence of an all-knowing, all-seeing force was unsolved and simply unsolvable.
Chair of the religious studies department and faculty advisor to SOMA Richard Mirecki says the biggest misconception associated with a nonreligious view of the world is that ethical behavior is directly tied to a religious belief. In a way, he says, religion has hijacked ethics and made it its own. The often inherent belief that if you're not religious you're immoral or amoral, he says, is simply false. "I take the opposite view," Mirecki says. "That the only ethical system that will work is one that comes from humans rather than from the sky where people struggle to follow it and always end up failing."
credence statistics with no religious organization affiliation, members of SOMA are strongly outnumbered in their beliefs. Christianity is the winning religion of sorts, with 33 percent of the world's population following its teachings. Twenty-two percent follow Islamic teachings, and 15 percent adhere to Hinduism. Nonreligious persons, characterized as secular, agnostic, atheist and otherwise nonreligious make up only 14 percent of the world's population, or roughly 200 to 240 million people. The site also indicates the strongest regions for atheistic and agnostic followers are China and Russia, both current or former Communist countries with a strong belief in the separation of religion and state.
But SOMA members don't
want outsiders to immediately associate their group with a political party with a history of fervent radicalism and with a worldwide view as valueless and extreme. "I don't have an active belief in a god, but I'm open minded about it," says Laney Allbritten, Cunningham senior. Allbritten, like many members, considers herself an agnostic-atheist, someone who doesn't believe in traditional gods but also doesn't rule out the possibility that god could exist. "We're not out to take religion away from people," she says. "We're a pretty laid back group willing to talk and listen."
ten."
The four or more years spent in college, Mirecki says, are a time for students to reflect on a lifetime of beliefs, and SOMA is as good a place as any to do that. "This type of organization is great because it's part of the university experience in the sense where a university is a place where the discussion of ideas and beliefs is explored."

Jessi: Next time the trash or sink is full, mention that although you love wearing the apron (it makes your ass look great), the housekeeper is on leave until someone else tries it on for size.
Q
Chris: Aprons? Hmm. Charlie, you're speaking for the masses. This is definitely a common problem, but don't let it continue without telling your buddies. You shouldn't be afraid to just say, "Hey guys, let's try to keep this place a little cleaner." And mention that girls would rather get laid in a clean house than a dump.

What is proper etiquette when buying drinks for a girl at the bars?
If I buy her drinks, does this give me "the right" to her poonnyy?
— Jed, Senior
Jessi: When buying drinks for girls, ask if it's cool first. You'll save yourself the embarrassment of buying a daiquiri for someone who doesn't drink or is the DD. If a girl lets you buy her a drink, that gives her the right to do lots of things. She can kick you in the nads, 'accidentally' spill it all over you, or even hit on one of your friends. That is, if you believe that by buying her a drink you receive a round-trip ticket to her "poonanny".
Chris: You're an idiot. Not even marriage gives a guy rights to the poonanny. If it did, polygamy would be much more popular. As for drinks, I bartend and I see lots of guys buy drinks for girls, and it's hard to say there are any steadfast rules. Ask the girl first, but also never offer a drink without talking to the girl for 15 minutes. If you offer a drink too soon, it's hard to tell whether she's interested in you or the free booze.
Q

My friend is into a relationship with a great guy who is still attached to an ex. She's so excited, and I don't want to be a killjoy. How can I help her without being too judgmental?
-Kim, Freshman
Jessi: No one wants to be someone's second place. Let her know that she deserves more than what he's giving her. Be supportive, but let her know that if he's not willing to make her his first place girl, he's the loser. One of the advantages of a new relationship is establishing expectations, and this is one to which she is entitled fair 'n square.
Chris: Let her do what she wants. Because you're both freshmen and have little knowledge or life skills, you should let her learn from this situation. And you don't know that the new relationship won't work out. But if you are set on ruining her relationship, try sleeping with the guy.

Divorce doesn't have to be devastating

"Your father and I need to talk to you about a decision we've made and it's nothing that is your fault." This was my mother's way of easing me into a conversation that would end with the word divorce. More than 50 percent of children will have this conversation with their parents at some point in time.

Additionally, research shows that kids aren't reacting the same way to the news of their parent's separation as they used to.
separation as they used to "I was fine with my parent's divorce," says Janice Walje, Overland Park senior. "For us [my siblings and I], their divorce was the best thing that ever happened. These people were a heck of a lot happier away from one another. I never understood why people considered divorce a bad thing."

Walje's parents were married for 18
years and finalized the divorce when she was seven. Walje says that her situation is different from most. Her parents didn't make a clean break after the divorce; instead, they decided to continue living together for the sake of their kids. Her parents lived together for five years following their divorce in hopes of saving money to provide for their children, as well as to provide them with a stable home to live in.
home to live in.
Walje says that her parents made a selfish decision in this choice. She was subjected to constant arguing, which in the end was more traumatic than going between households.
Constance Ahrons, University of Southern California sociologist, conducted a study with grown children of broken homes and posted her findings on the Divorce Magazine's Web site. Ahrons site says that the majority of the children grew up to be stronger because of their parents divorce. Her findings showed that 78 percent of these kids reported that both they and their parents had lived better lives since the divorce.
It lives since the church "The truth is that while some divorces
result in family breakdown, the vast majority do not," writes Ahrons on her site. "While divorce changes the form of the family from one household to two from a nuclear family to a binuclear one-it does not need to change the way the children think and feel about the significant relationships in their families."

they received the news. Samantha Horner, Leawood senior, says that she doesn't remember there ever being any problems between her parents. She was six when they divorced and is glad that she was young when it happened. She looked at the divorce in a way that was beneficial at that age. Horner says that at that age she didn't realize the harshness of what a divorce involved. She just knew that now she would get two of everything for every holiday. Additionally, her father had a new girlfriend who had a daughter soon after the divorce and she was excited about the chance of gaining a stepsister. She was just another playal. In Horner's opinion, staying together

"The children may feel guilt that both of their parents have been unhappy for so long. The only exception to this might be parents with a child that has severe problems in which the severity of the problems increase with the divorce."

My parents are divorced. Though I was bitter at age 6, I see now that their divorce was the best solution to an unhappy situation that might have hurt my sister and I more in the long run. My sister and I grew up fine despite the fact that we came from a broken home.

Snafu's creates a new version of strip poker
It is tough not to get excited when you are staring at three Jacks and a pair of double Ds. That is what Snafu's, a Topeka strip club, is banking on to bring customers in to their establishment. Well, that and the new poker craze ignited by the televised games of shows like "World Series of Poker" and "Celebrity Poker." Average Joes are coming out in droves to sit at poker tables in local bars or in front of their computer screens to compete in the on-line versions. Brandon Riffel, Overland Park sophomore, said that poker grabbed his attention when he watched an this amateur beat all of the professionals; everyone was like, "Hey, I could do that."
Thanks to Snafu's and televised poker, the local Greg "Fossil Man" Raymer wannabes can crowd around tables surrounding a stage to compete in No Limit Texas Hold'Em, while girls wearing no more than black thongs and white platform shoes slowly grind against a brass pole as they listen to the slow jams of Genuine and R. Kelly.

Snafu's coowner, Jim "Bubba" Bogner, admits that he decided to implement Poker Pub at Snafu's in May of 2004, after observing the early success of the Poker Pub nights in Lawrence bars. Bryan Sharp, President of Topeka Division and Franchise Management Director of the Poker Pub says that Poker Pub can bring anywhere from 40
to 80 extra people a night at Snafu's, and with a Topeka membership of around 4,000 people, there is still room for growth in clientele.

they have drawn to the cards game.
The thrill of poker is that anyone can be a winner and Soden believes that poker is popular because unlike Blackjack or Roulette, there are no house odds. Your competitors are sitting there with you at the table, they are holding unknown cards, and you can look them in the eyes. Sharp says what people don't realize is that Texas Hold'Em is a game of people and position, not cards like most people think. Of course there is a certain element of luck involved, but there are no bad hands, just bad flops.

says these treasures can be anywhere. Behind the aging telephone pole that's constantly covered with fliers across the street from The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St. Hidden under the rocks in Burcham Park, washed up after an ugly day of polluting the Kansas River.

really is priceless.
Davis and his friends seek any thrown away item that gives a glimpse into someone else's life; specifically, they look for notes and love letters, old photos, drawings, poems, birthday cards, and even to-do lists. "Most of it's just kind of odd," Davis says.
Davis first became interested in finding things when he heard about Found, a magazine that publishes unique, hilarious and heartbreak finds from people around the country. Its Web site, foundmagazine.com, is a forum where people across the country can share their findings and discuss them. After humble beginnings in independent bookstores, Found books, which feature the best finds from the magazines, are available at bookstores
nationwide
nationwide Davy Rothbart, founder of Found, has always enjoyed discovering things. One of his earliest memories is finding notes in a field where he waited for the school bus. One note in particular that Rothbart found inspired him to compile all of his findings into a magazine. It was a cold night in Chicago three years ago when he walked out to his car to find a note on his windshield that read:
Mano,
I fucking hate you
you said you had to
work then why's
your car HERE
at HER place??
You're a fucking
LIAR. I hate you
I fucking hate you
Amber
PS Page me later
That note, along with several other notes, pictures and drawings would be a part of the first Found zinc. Rothbart, who worked at Kinko's at the time, made 50 copies of the zine one night at night. A coworker absolutely loved it and suggested Rothbart make 800 copies.
Rothbart make 800 copies. But 800 copies weren't enough. After he handed out several at a party, more and more people became interested in the zine. "It came to the point where groups of people were knocking on my door wanting it," Rothbart says. "They were addictive. I think my neighbors probably thought I was dealing drugs out of my house."
The more people who became interested, the more Rothbart and his friend Jason Bitner, also a Chicago native and avid collector of found items, were inspired to produce the zines. With Found, which soon became a magazine sold at bookstores in Chicago, Rothbart and Bitner brought together a new community. "I've met so many people who have been doing this on their own for a long time," Rothbart says. "I never realized that so many people shared my fascination."

One of those finders is Michael Powell, a graduate student at Rice University in Brooklyn, New York. He heard about Found through his girlfriend, who met Rothbart while attending the University of Michigan. Powell has always enjoyed finding things, but he never thought about keeping them in an organized collection until Rothbart started Found. "Most people just don't pay attention to things like I do," Powell says. If he sees something, and he sees a lot in his Brooklyn neighborhood, he'll pick it up. Powell says magazines

MEMO
"What we find can sometimes be so personal, raw and intimate, that we do have to be careful. But because that stuff is so personal, it makes it so much better."
Rothbart says he never expects someone to recognize something that is theirs, but it has happened. "Usually people are pretty cool with it," says Rothbart. "Sometimes they're even honored." One girl saw a note she had written about her boyfriend published.
Afterwards she gave Rothbart an update on how the relationship was going. People also are mystified. Rothbart and Meiklejohn were on a Found tour together when Meiklejohn noticed a dumpster filled with piles of slides at a stop in Denver. The slides were an entire portfolio of photos of half-nude women on motorcycles. Meiklejohn and Rothbart thought they had hit jackpot, and started gathering up the pictures. A man who was walking by noticed them and asked what they were doing.
Meiklejohn and Rothbart froze, ready for confrontation. Instead, the man came over and looked at the pictures. "Those are my slides," he said. "How did they get here?" Meiklejohn thinks the man and his wife were in a big argument, and the wife had thrown the slides out. While he was confused as to why strangers were interested in his pictures, he was thankful that they helped recover them.
helped recover them. The public's fascination with found items is caused by their desire for authenticity. No one thinks a letter they write to a loved one or a note they pass to someone in class will ever be published. Rothbart says, so their true, honest feelings are con-
veyed. "They showcase a range of emotions that we all have," he says. "Everyone may be very different, but we're all experiencing the same things. You see a stranger on the street and you don't think they have the same experiences, emotions and feelings that you do, but they do. With these notes, everyone is connected in the world." After a pause, Rothbart adds, "Plus a lot of them are funny as shit."

It's harvest season
Forget Cannes and Sundance. You don't have to leave Lawrence to get a taste of great new films. By Meredith Desmond, Jayplay writer
Mark von Schlenner harvests the local film festival Harvest of Arts.
Photo by Jóshua Kendall
"You should start a film festival."
That's what local artist Ardys Ramberg told her friend Mark von Schlemmer in 1992. She had the idea to create a huge event celebrating and sharing the work of local artists, musicians, poets, and performers of all kinds. She named her festival the Harvest of Arts and planned to hold it annually in downtown Lawrence. That first year, Ramberg gathered some fellow artists together and put von Schlemmer, who had just finished his Master's degree in film, in charge of the of the film portion of the festival. "I knew that he was involved with films, so I thought he would be a good person to take that particular ball and run with it," Ramberg says.
Ramberg says.
Thirteen years later, the ball is still rolling. In fact, von Schlemmer's film festival is the only thing left of the Harvest of Arts, which has faded out in recent years because of time and work conflicts. Each year von Schlemmer takes charge as producer and programmer of the festival, traditionally held at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts, with a music event following it. He views all entries, chooses and schedules the lineup and promotes the festival all by himself.
the festival all by himself. The focus of Harvest of Arts has always been to share local talent - therefore,
everything is free and non-competitive. von Schlemmer says he has always tried to keep everything casual, with no submission fees, no entry forms, and most importantly, free admission for the public. The show is free for him to put on (thanks, he says, to the graciousness of the Granada), and he relies completely on word of mouth publicity, save for a few posters and Internet postings. Even so, he says there has consistently been a very good turnout - so good that there's often a shortage of chairs at the Granada. This year should be no different. If you go to the festival tomorrow night, you'll probably see wildly varied entries, a goal von Schlemmer tries to meet each year. He says he is totally open with all of the entries, which keeps the lineup diverse. Anyone with a local connection and a film to show can enter the festival, and von Schlemmer chooses films based on what can fit in the festival's two-hour time limit.
can fit in the festival where "Part of my challenge is to find films that run the gamut - if you hate one, there will be one that you like," he says. And that's the point. von Schlemmer says he wants to expose the audience to genres and topics that they may have never seen before, a task that naturally falls into place because there are no restrictions on film entries. He accepts entries from filmmakers of all ages and all genres. Each year, there's a mix of representational experimental, narrative,
music videos, documentary, and animation films, to name a few. Although he says there are a few edgier films featured in this year's festival, he never wants to limit what the audience can see. The closest he has ever come to censorship is reorganizing the schedule and leaving more violent or provocative films for the last part of the festival. That way, parents who bring young children have the option to leave a bit early. But diversity is what the festival is all about, and von Schlemmer wants to give everyone a chance to share their neighbors' art.

fight about where on the table the knife should be. Roney says he entered the film in the festival to gain confidence and entertain the audience.
"It's always nice to see the audience's reaction. This is just kind of a silly little film, and if it makes people laugh, then it has succeeded, obviously," Roney says.
And who doesn't think a group of mischievous cutery is funny?
Roney's film will only take up about three minutes of the festival's entire 120-minute lineup, and you can bet there will be plenty of other films that will satisfy your appetite for local culture. So, head downtown tomorrow night
and see what 13 years of survival is all about. You never know,you could be getting a sneak preview of the world's next Steven Spielberg.

Cocktail of the week
Long Island Iced Tea
Long Island, N.Y. can be a pretty exciting place. In 1992, Amy Fisher, the "Long Island Lolita," had an affair with married, body shop owner Joey Buttafuco and shot his wife in the face. By the late '90s, Puff Daddy was throwing wild parties in the "Hampti-Hamps" (The Hamptons).
But apparently, Long Island wasn't always as exciting as it has been in recent history. According to lore, in the late '50s, wealthy and bored Long Island housewives invented the drink out of necessity. They didn't want their husbands to notice liquor missing from their home bars, so they poured a little out of every bottle into a glass. The drink looked like ice tea so they could get loaded and remain discrete about it at least until they fell into the pool.
Long Island Iced Tea
1 ounce vodka
1 ounce gin
1 ounce light rum
1 ounce tequila
1 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce GranGala orange liqueur
1 teaspoon Superfine Sugar

than two years. The Sunshine Game, Macy's first one-act play, won an Association for Theatre in Higher Education award last year. Macy has seen the play performed twice and is excited to see the play in full production. The play is a dark Jacobean drama for modern times about a group of blind people who decide to get revenge on seeing people. Macy enjoys the bare-bone-style of playwriting. "Using only dialogue, you can find unique ways of giving history of a character and protraying what drives them," Macy says. He is currently writing one-act plays and other fiction, and he hopes to write a full-length play in the future. Sam's
The two one-act plays are written by KU student Tim Macy and KU alum Mark Frossard. Both plays were written in beginning writing classes taught by Paul Stephen Lim in the English Department at KU. Tim Macy, has been a playwright for more
tion, and he hopes to write a full-length play in the Mark Frossard started writing plays a year ago. Sam's Club is Frossard's first one-act play, also, although he has always been into theatre and writing. Frossard is submitting the play into several competitions, including the Kennedy Center playwright competition. The play is an absurdist comedy about a strange young man who has a series of blind dates in the private club that he owns and operates. "It's amazing to see the work come to life," says Frossard. "I get to see the characters created in my head in flesh and blood." Frossard lives in Santa Fe, N. M., and is writing another one-act play with similar themes to Sam's Club, though it focuses more on feminism.

LISTEN
Nelly
Sweat/Suit
In hip-hop, the double album is apparently the new Bentley, a status symbol representative of ridiculous industry sway and unsurpassed material excess. The impetus behind the two most recent double discs, released by Oukast and R. Kelly, varied to fit the artists; the former a result of creative differences and the latter a plea for criminal defense. Nelly's motivation,
however, can be considered little more than commercial convenience. The two albums have been released separately and simultaneously - "Use Your Illusion" style—with Sweat dripping with club anthems and Suit tailor-made for necking and chinning.
The two could easily have been combined to form one masterful pop album, but Nelly isn't interested in creating a legacy. He wants this party started, like, now. While both discs are easy listening, it's the brash and bluster of Sweat
that's moving units in the short-term. "Heart of a Champion" swipes the theme from Monday Night Football, fashioning an anthem that's one part goofy, two parts groovy. The Neptunes contribute another minimalist track in the release's first single, "Flap Your Wings," where Nelly unfathomably christens himself "Booteus Maximus" and instructs listeners to "Get Your Eagle On" Terrell Owens style. Among the remaining highlights is a potential halftime show opportunity in the Christina Aguilera assisted "Tilt Ya Head Back," a funk genre exercise that plays a tad too chaste to truly represent the individuals involved.
While Sweat is all football, hard hitting and over hyped, Suit is some satisfying stick-ball, a slow burn that reaches home base more often than not. Nelly spent some time as a minor leaguer with the St. Louis Cardinals before leaving the game for the Game. If there's anything he he's retained from his background at the ballpark, it's a penchant for throwbacks as well as a reverence for the old maxim "There's no 'l in team." On Suit Nelly has assembled an entire roster of major league
rhymers and B-list R&Bs. Ron Isley and Snoop Dogg steal the show on the Copa cabana of "She Don't Know My Name," while Jazzy Pha and T.I. play up the acronyms by touting the STL/ATL connection and praising all the country girls that reside therein.
The standout, however, is the unlikely pairing with country crooner Tim McGraw, who lends his twang to the saccharine break-up lament, "Over and Over." While Nelly's not the first hip-pop artist to meld country and rap (Bubba Sparks established the genre on last year's Deliverance), he is the most poised to take the style to the mainstream.
Nelly may not rank among the titans of the hip-hop world, but with the surprising consistency he exhibits on Sweat/Suit, he definitely holds the title as the most enjoyable.
Grade: B
If you got your eagle on with Nelly, pick up the last
Fabulous album, Street Dreams. Better yet, turn on MTV and watch a Ludacris video.

The Like Young So Serious
Like former touring partners Mates of State, The Like Young are a connubial duo with midwestern roots and cheery dispositions. On So Serious, Joe and Amanda Ziemba cram 24 minutes of insidiously catchy pop punk into 12 tracks with reckless abandon.
Sprinkled throughout the power chord hooks of So Serious are signs that main vocalist/guitarist Joe Ziemba's demeanor has shifted slightly from the sparklingly cheerful nature of The Like Young's 2003 debut, Art Contest. He sounds a little world weary on tracks like "Out To Get Me" and "Tighten My Tie." Fortunately for Joe, every time he tries his best to be a downer, his wife Amanda shoots Prozac directly into the band's bloodstream from behind her drum set with a sweet, lilting voice and the occasional NutraSweet synth line. With energetic, three-chord punk riffs and guy/girl vocal interchange, The Like Young are the house band for twenty somethings about to fall out of the sky and into the real world. On So Serious these wedded Chicago sprites let us coliectively indulge in our guilty pop punk pleasure for one last time, while issuing reminders that the innocence youth is far, far behind us. Listen to The Like Young while they're here and appealing, because this band cannot become Fleetwood Mac. If the Ziembas divorce, there is no one else in the band to hook up with.
Grade: B (A if you're 23 and in your second year of marriage)

Paul Westerberg Folker
After leaving The Replacements 13 years ago, there's no denying that Paul Westerberg has had a solo career full of ups and downs. Before Folker, it seemed that he had disappeared off the face of the earth. Well, he has...kind of. Actually, he's been alone in his basement creating some of the best songs of his long career, and on a label you would least expect. For example, you may not remember 2002's low-fi masterpiece Stereo/Mono.
Well, Folker, which again is an album you can definitely tell he sloppily recorded in a basement, might be Westerberg's chance to reclaim some
old glory and score some new fans. Mixing folk and jangle-pop, Westerberg still has the formula down. He can write catchy melodies any time he wants to, but he does more than that. He creates a lush, beautiful atmosphere he can comfortably move around in and a sound that is distinct and trademark. There are times, however, when Westerberg tends to seem a little bit too comfortable on the album. Songs like "Gun Shy" cause me to suspect that everything he recorded, even the weaker songs, made the cut. The standout tracks, like "As Far As I Know," do make up for that, and his style remains unique and honest throughout.
All he needs is a guitar and his voice to create this, and that's what good folk music is all about. And don't be fooled by the title, Westerberg has been going folk for a long time.
Grade: B If you dig Westerberg, try The Lemonheads. And listen to Matt Beat on Focus, 8-10 PM Thursdays on KJHK, 90.7
Matt Beat
Remember when kids used to sniff Pixie Stix one after the other for that sweet, sugary high? It's this kind of hyperactive "glitch go happy" sound that comes across in the French trio DAT Politics' fifth release Go Pets Go. Some tracks like "Cat Polk" sound like my Casio keyboard skipping hand in hand with my old Atari through the park.
Despite this techno love, an underlying earthy feeling resonates throughout the album that gives it a natural, backwoods flavor. There's even a welcomed dose or two of heavy glitch and bass action as on "Tricky" and "Yha Hoo Tuning." However, it's the light-hearted vocals spread over the poppy cute songs with witty lyrics that are the icing on the cake. At the end of the third track, a reporter states "I've heard the phrase laptopianism to describe what you do." Yep, this album is one cute, sweet "laptopgasmic" experience.

JINNAEY
Night Live's Tina Fey and littered with SNL alums, Mean Girls is different from the run-of-the-mill teenage girl comedy. Don't worry, Lohan changes outfits often and shows enough skin to keep the Britney generation
swooning,but the strengths lie in the writing. For that I praise Fey.
Cady (Lchan) is the new girl in school, having been home-schooled until now. She is 16 and entering the world of high school clueless of the way it works. After being introduced to The Plastics, the most popular, perfect looking and endlessly mean girls at her high school, she falls into their world.
The film is fine fluff with a bite, which I again attribute to Fey. The DVD has the standard extras including commentary by director Mark Waters, Fey and producer Lorne Michaels, bloopers, three featurettes, nine deleted scenes and a theatrical trailer. The extras are enough to satisfy the 13-year-old girls this film aims to please, but the calming and welcome presence of Tina Fey could aim to satisfy the rest of us as well.

Jersey Girl
(Movie: ☆☆ 1/2,
DVD: ☆☆☆ 1/2)
PG,97 minutes
Kevin Smith's career as a writer and director is the quintessential story of American filmmaking over the last decade, during which the studios have embraced the independents to the point that they're all part of the same system. Smith has done creative work before in this environment, but with Jersey Girl he's gone completely mainstream. In order of preference, I'd rank his films as Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, this and then Mallrats.
To sate the appetite of his worshipful fan base, Smith's movies always get deluxe DVD treatment and Jersey Girl is no exception. The disc includes assorted behind-the-scenes features and a commentary track with Jay and his "hetero life mate," Silent Bob.
Stephen Shupe
The comedy-drama stars Ben Affleck as a successful music publicist who becomes a widower when wife Jennifer Lopez dies during childbirth. After years of undeserved criticism, Affleck no longer seems capable of taking himself or his art seriously enough to give a convincing performance. Smith's film turns increasingly maudlin as soon as the Jersey girl of the title (Raquel Castro) shows up. Still, it's filled with moments that ring true, and I'm also happy to report that Smith has disciplined himself as a filmmaker and made his first professional-looking film.

Angels in America (Movie: $\star \star \star \star$,

Unrated, approx. 352 minutes
Director Mike Nichols of The Graduate fame has brought to life Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize winning play with grace and style. The controversial play and ministeries chronicles the early stages of the AIDS crisis in 1980s America. The interconnected stories follow a Mormon couple (Patrick Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker) as they deal with secrets and demons; the real-life lawyer Roy Cohen's(Al Pacino) secret battle with AIDS; a gay couple's (Ben Shankman and Justin Kirk) also battle's with AIDS within their relationship and, oh yeah, there are some angels.
The film itself is flawless. AI Pacino and Meryl Streep are at the top of their game and the newer actors such as Justin Kirk and Patrick Wilson hold their own. The DVD is devoid of any extras, which is disappointing. I would have loved to see how this fantastic play was translated so seamlessly to television. Perhaps later the gods of DVDs may grant us another edition with at least a commentary or two but for now, the film can speak for itself. Lindsey Ramsey

A New Hope(★★★)
A NEW HOPE
Star Wars: A New Hope might have launched one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, but when it was being made it was one risky proposition after another. This comes right out of the mouth of George Lucas, who is one of a few people on the commentary track for the first disc in the recently released DVD set. The commentary is full of insight about the context of the movie's era, like how risky a science fiction film was at the time and how much of an influence Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was.
A New Hope, like the other movies in the DVD set, has been digitally restored and is sharper and better-looking than ever.
— Jon Ralston
The Empire Strikes Back(☆☆☆)
The greatest space opera of them all is also the darkest and best-written episode of the Holy Trilogy, thanks to a flawless script co-written by genre pro Lawrence Kasdan. Han and Leia's romance develops, while Luke meets Yoda and Darth Vader lets slip the family secret. The much-maligned alterations Lucas made when he re-released Star Wars as "special editions" in 1997 have little effect on Empire; they're mostly relegated to a few scenery shots of Cloud City, Lucas's new Star Wars films have been justly criticized, but they actually enhance this episode, which deals centrally with Darth Vader and grows in the imagination after you've seen his formative years in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.
—Stephen Shupe
Return of the Jedi
(☆☆☆1/2)
Stephen Shupe
The final installment of Star Wars is often criticized for being the weakest of the first trilogy. True, it doesn't have the energy of A New Hope or the ingeniousness of Empire but let us not forget Jabba
the Hutt and the gold bikini.
Now Jedi is where George Lucas' new tweakings get a little shady. To set the scene: The celebration at the end of the film is commencing, Luke has just torched the remains of his father and shots show the celebration around the galaxy. They have dropped in a small shot of Naboo celebrating here as well, that's fine. Then as the Ewoks dance, Luke is reunited with Leia and he gazes off into the distance. There stands Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker. Originally Sebastian Shaw depicted Anakin. But it seems poor old Sebastian has gotten the boot and now a beautiful image of Hayden Christensen is beaming down at his twins. Now Hayden, I love you, but I can understand where some might call this a sacrilegious move on Lucas' part. But what's done is done; it is Lucas' movie and although I may feel a twinge at the sight of Hayden replacing Sebastian (it could be annoyance or love for Hayden, I can't tell) I will accept the DVD as the completion of a saga that has filled my life with joy and now I wait in earnest for the final chapter coming to a theater near you May 2005.
Lindsay Ramsey Empire of Dreams (★☆1/2)
The centerpiece of the extra material on the new Star Wars DVD set is the documentary Empire of Dreams. Don't try to watch it in one sitting. The interesting tidbits are buried in two and half hours of promotion and shallow reminiscing, although it is very thorough. The most striking aspect it illustrates about the first Star Wars is the quality of the collaborations. A new motion-control camera system had to be invented. A comparison of the first Star Wars' unorthodox editing compared to more traditionally edited sequences goes a long way to explain how a movie with such hammy acting and goofy dialog could be so involving.

wouldn't want to live anywhere else," muses an elderly archist in the relaxed, inviting movie, Slacker. The town is Austin, Texas in the late '80s and Slacker is writer/director Richard Linklater's nobudget, day-in-the-life film about the oddballs and wanderers who live there.
Defiantly plotless, it daisy-chains together dozens of scenes and characters that float in and out

of the story. One guy sits in his dorm room with a television on his back, another is writing a book about JFK called
Conspiracies A-Go-Go. These men and women don't know what they're waiting for, but better to just sit around and be poor than go out and do something you hate. "Why should I work?I?" barks one
man, "I've got less important things to do!"
The marvelous new Criterion DVD has mountains of fun extras. There are casting interviews with the zany locals and essays about what exactly makes a slacker. The best part is Linklater's casual, unpretentious commentary. He deftly shows how unfair it is to call this self-marginalized community lazy or indolent. Just because they're taking
their time finding out what the world offers doesn't mean they don't care.

Coffee and Cigarettes
(Movie: ★★★,
DVD: ★★)
Coffee and Cigarettes is unusual. It is not one movie, but actually 11 different short movies, all shot in black and white over a 17-year period. Each short scene is about five minutes long and features such actors as Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Steve Buscemi and Iggy Pop, sitting at a table over coffee and cigarettes, having various conversations about life. While some of the scenes are pointless and ramble, most
are clever with intelligent conversations.

are clever with intrepid screeners. The first scene of the film was shot in 1986 and has comedian Steven Wright opposite the Italian star most in need of Ritalin, Roberto Benigni. Picture the most deadpan comic ever having a conversation with one of the most hyperactive people in existence — it's an intriguing duo that is hard to stop watching.
Then there's Cate Blanchett playing two roles, herself and her jealous cousin.
The conversation she has with herself is awkward, and she manages to pull off these awkward silences that make you forget that it really is the same person acting this scene out at two different times.
The scene with Alfred Molina and Steve Coogan was the most entertaining. Both are fabulous British actors, and Molina has some news for Coogan - they are actually cousins, which
Coogan just blows off until he sees that the situation could actually work to a professional advantage.
These scenes are able to lift Coffee and Cigarettes and make it an original and unique experiment.
The DVD features are ho-hum and include outtakes, featurettes and inviews.

video game [Def Jam, do it street style...]
Def Jam: Fight for New York
It's crew vs. crew, and this time, there's no stupid break dancing involved. It's an all-out war between the gangs that are "too good for the street and too gangster for the garden." That comes from the last game's boss, D-Mob. EA Games comes out swinging with Def Jam: Fight for New York on all three systems. I'm playing this one on Playstation 2.
one on Playstation 2.
The second installment of Def Jam starts right at the end of Def Jam Vendetta. D-Mob is being hauled off to jail. All of a sudden, the police cruiser he's in is totaled by an SUV driven by your character. Your character is determined by picking from a police line-up or made by a police sketch-artist (an interesting way to actually create a character). The only thing I didn't like was that my sketch composite didn't resemble the character generated. You are
taken back to the hideout, and D-Mob puts you to work for his crew. You soon find out that Crow (portrayed by Snoop Dogg)is moving in on D-Mob's territory and is even taking his fighters.
taking his fighters.
This game is different from the first game. Vendetta was basically WCW/NWO Revengeredone with rappers. The moves were the same, the way you got special moves was the same; even the way you bump into someone and stare at him, was the same. Fight for New York, however, isn't wrestling. There's no three-count.
isn't wrestling. There's no way to win is to make your opponent submit, knock them out, or ... let's just say you make him "catch" a train. Also, everything around you is a weapon. The wall, jukeboxes, even the crowd gets involved with the fights. The environment is a good tool to use when KO'ing your enemy. People in the crowd will give you weapons to use and even hold opponents so you can double-team your foe. The game still brings back the on-again and
off-again romances of your character. You still pick a girl you want to be with and if another girl comes in, you can stay with your woman or opt for a new one.
your woman or opt for a showier. Another plus for the game is that you actually have a say on what your character will wear. You can completely customize your character's look, clothes, tattoos, hair, everything. It may seem like useless spending, but it actually helps you out in the ring. The better gear you have, the faster you can reach "Blazin Mode" and unleash your special move.
unleash your special moves. The game comes back harder and tougher. A fully customizable character, a slew of even more celebrities (not just rappers this time), and more beats from the street just make you want to keep on fighting.

LOSING When Love Steals More Than Just Your Heart MYSELF
Liz Beggs
Jayplaywriter
TAYLOR B. ROBERTS
I crammed everything I could into my small maroon '93 Probe, left behind everything I couldn't and headed back to Kansas City. We woke up early that morning and sat on our camel-colored leather couch, telling
Jayplaywinter leather couch, taking each other in whispers that we'd had a good run at it. I said goodbye with a hug and an, "I'll see you soon," and an, "Of course I'll come back to visit."
course I come back to visit.
I said goodbye to six years of my life that morning. I said goodbye to winter nights under the covers, butter-pecan kisses and soft lips on my eyelids. I said goodbye to, "I love you Elizabeth" and "You are my World" and got in the car as the sun came up, drove the 14 hours home and left him to the cold Ohio April.
April.
As I look back on it, I don't even know how I fell in love with him. Well, yeah, I do. He was smooth. I guess the real question is how did I keep loving him?
After two years of dating, a
shadow fell over our relationship in the form of a 5-foot-6 blonde. Her shadow darkened our time together, captivated his thoughts and stole his heart. I didn't find out about her right away. I had asked questions that he half-answered. I had made calls to his house that he avoided. After two weeks, I realized this was more than a down phase in the relationship; this was the end. And yet, I hung on to him for four more years. I hung onto him after the blonde was gone and others followed. I hung on through nights of my unheard sobs. I hung on because I was under the common misconception that all you needed for a relationship to work is love.
is love. After four rocky years, we decided to move in together. We bought furniture and rugs, paintings and plates. We bought groceries, cooked dinner and made love on the counter. We would wind up snuggled in bed, and I would laugh up at him with my chin buried gently beneath his rib cage. The window to our bedroom stayed open and tossed rose-colored curtains about as the September wind caressed our naked bodies. He was mine again. And I was happy.
He was mine again. And I was
It was only a matter of months this time. I got that feeling in my bones
again, that feeling that creeps up on you and makes you question whatever he says even though his excuse is completely plausible. I would hate it when that feeling came, not because of what meant to our relationship, but because it made me untrusting, and I despised that the most. I hated that feeling of looking at him and knowing he was lying to me, but letting him get away with it because I was supposed to love and trust him.
supposed to love and trust him Trust him? As the relationship carried on, my love for him blinded me as he guided me from store to store, case to case, band to band, with his voice brushing my ear whispering he wanted a baby. I would swallow the knowing with a forced smile and a heavy heart. I thought was mine again and that I would be happy.
Honestly, there was never an Oprah-like "Ah ha" moment. I just finally got fed up. I got fed up with the yo-yoing of one minute feeling like I was his most precious gift and the next a piece of trash. I got fed up with his dishonesty and feeling like an untrusting bitch. I got fed up with not being myself and not even remembering who "myself" was anymore. We had become this creature with one body and two heads (his had horns),
pulling each other in different directions. One day I looked around our apartment for things that the pre-relationship me would have been in to, and I wondered where I was. There were no tubes of oil or acrylic paint, no canvases, no brushes, no books, no music that I enjoyed. There was no basketball rolled into the corner, no National Geographic on the coffee table. There was no dirt, no mess, no disorder. Everything was pristine and picked up. We had leather furniture and a sound system. We had rap CDs, Playstation games and a subscription to Cycle World. I wasn't in the relationship anymore. Everything of mine left a long time ago in my need to keep him loving me.
him loving me.
I sacrificed myself. I sacrificed time, but I do not regret those six years. I do not regret losing myself, because it forced me to find myself and redefine myself. I will never regret loving him, because how can you ever regret something like that. And as silly as it sounds, I do not regret staying with an unfaithful man because I have learned to truly value the right one.

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 inexpensive 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 Blue 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.

Q. What do you plan to do after college?
WISSEL: Likes Husker football Jayhawk men's basketball team
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.
— Edited by Janette Crawford
Q: What are your goals in life?
A: Individually, I just want to help my teammates get better and make sure I'm a scorer for our team.
Q: What are you most proud of?
**A:** Running-wise, in high school our track team won 11-consecutive state titles so I was pretty proud of that fact.
Q: Being a freestman 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?
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.
A: When you're racing, you just think about going faster or trying to push yourself.
Q: What do you think about when you're running?
G: Would running in the Olympics be a reasonable goal for you?
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?
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.

This interview with Kris Kobach, the Republican challenger for the 3rd District U.S. House seat in Kansas, is the second in a series designed to give students more information about the race. Kobach's opponent is U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.). The University Daily Kansan staff writer Andy Hyland talked with Kobach yesterday during Kobach's campus visit.
Q: What do you worry about when you think about the state of the nation in 10 years?
A: I worry that we're not doing enough to address the threat of terrorism. There are very specific flaws in our
laws right now ... For example, being a member of a terrorist organization is not a basis for deporting someone under U.S. law right now. There are certain programs that allow terrorists to enter the country legally that are problematic and need reform. There are all kinds of problems that we could fix in our legal system that we could fix and make real gains in the war against terrorism, but it's not happening right now.
Q: What are your plans for education, particularly for college students here in Kansas?
A: I think it's critical that we give tax benefits to saving for college. I think that one of the most important ways we

"They also didn't talk enough about reducing terrorism. There were not enough facts," she said.
DEBATE IN-DEPTH
For notable quotes from last night's presidential debate, see page 5A.
A group of more than a hundred faculty and students watch the first presidential debate in the Big 12 and Parlor rooms at the Kansas Union.
Fox was one of about 200 students who watched last night's presidential debates at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union last night. The event was a part of Civic Literacy week, designed to raise awareness and turnout on campus.
The audience included people from all parts of the political spectrum: Democrats, Republicans, undecided voters and even supporters of third-party candidate Ralph Nader.
After the 90-minute debate, moderators led students in a roundtable discussion. Fox, who is voting for Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), said she thought Bush tried to instill fears in the hearts of Americans rather than keeping America safer.
"Bush was more focused on winning hearts of patriots." Fox said.
Erica Viviano, Alton, Ill., sophomore, said she was turned off by Kerry's stronger stance on the war against terrorism. She said she didn't agree with his language; he used the words "kill" and "attack" in the debate.
Students panned some of the cordiality the candidates displayed. Luke Doyle, Denver sophomore, said the candidates' exchange about their daughters was not necessary.
"That doesn't have anything to do

"I think it does a lot for undecided voters," Boots, Plano, Texas, junior, said.
Boots, who didn't say who he was voting for in November, said the event helped to fight against voter apathy. Boots said that hearing candidates talk for more than 30 seconds, as in soundbites, would benefit students.

Speaker criticizes war
Former presidential hopeful watches debate at Lied

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The war on terror is leading us down the wrong path, said Gary Hart, former Democratic U.S. Senator from Colorado and presidential hopeful.
Hart delivered the first installment in the Hall Center for the Humanities Lecture series at the Lied Center last night, and he was critical of both the Bush administration's war in Iraq and the war on terror.
Hart said the administration hid the real reasons for going to war in Iraq from the American people.
He said the reasons were to gain influence in that region of the world and to secure oil for America and its allies.
Hart said the war on terror was not a
"It's a lot easier to have a strategy to fight a war than it is to have a grand strategy to keep the peace," he said.
sufficient strategy for a world power to pursue.
Hart said "grand strategy" should incorporate several different aspects. America should transform itself from a consumer of goods into a producer of goods,"strengthen and expand our existing democratic alliances," and employ those alliances against terrorism. he said.

Hart also criticized the administration for not following the recommendations of the bipartisan U.S. Commission on National Security, of which he was a member.
Gary Hart, former U.S. Senator, relaxes in the Green Room at the Lied Center before giving his speech. Hart spoke about "Security in the New Age of the 21st Century" last night right before the Presidential Debate.
The commission convened in 1998 to address growing concerns of the war on terror, Hart said. He said the commission recommended that the Bush
administration create a Department of Homeland Security on Jan. 31, 2001.
"The problem was the administration didn't listen, and the press didn't

The University has an automated operator (864-2700) that can connect you to any phone number on campus.
Megan Turner, Olathe freshman, sketches outside of the Art and Design Building during the sunny weather yesterday afternoon
It's very easy to use. All you do is say the name of the person or department you are looking for and let the computerized voice on the other end do the work.
Sunshine sketching
The image shows a person sitting outdoors, deeply focused on drawing or sketching on an open sketchbook. The individual has long hair and is wearing a light-colored top. The setting appears to be a grassy area, possibly in a park or a field, under natural light. There are no other objects visible in the immediate vicinity of the person.

Homecoming week starts with Race Ipsa run or walk
The fifth annual Race Ipsa will be 9 am, tomorrow.
a.m. tomorrow
Race Ipsa is a 5K run or walk held in conjunction with the Spirit Sprint, which kicks off Homecoming week.
The Student Bar Association at the University School of Law is sponsoring the race. The money raised from the 2004 Race Ipsa will go to help the United Way of Douglas County.
Registration on the morning of the race will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the parking lot east of the Burge Union, 1601 Irving Hill Road.
The race will start at the Burge Union and will be conducted primarily on the University campus.
Leo Prieto, Garden City law student, said 50 people had signed up for the race by Wednesday. Prieto said he thought there would be about 100 runners and walkers after everyone had signed up. The race benefits a lot of people, Prieto said.
The course is different from last year's course because runners do not begin by running up a steep hill.
"Anytime we get a chance to contribute in some way and make a differ ence, that goes a long way." he said.

WORLD
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a major attack against the insurgent stronghold of Samarra last week, securing government and police buildings in the city, the U.S. command said. The offensive came in response to "repeated and unprovoked attacks by anti-Iraqi forces" against Iraqi and coalition forces, the military said in a statement. Its aim was to kill or capture insurgents in the city.

Krysdanell "Krys" Cole is passionate about recruiting multicultural students. The Topeka senior and member of the Multicultural Recruitment Team said it was her opportunity to give back. She remembers not wanting to come to the University of Kansas at first.
Cole went to Shawnee Heights High School where she said she was a minority and felt like one too.
"It was a struggle for me to go to KU because it was the same minority mix as my high school," Cole said.
She met Claudia Mercado, associate director for admissions and scholarships, during her junior year in high school when the University sent representatives to her school.
"If those people hadn't been there and been so nice to me, I would not be here." Cole said.
Minority enrollment numbers increased this fall from last year. First time minority freshmen to the Lawrence campus increased from 512 students to 561. Each minority group had a percent increase except for the Asian-American population, which had a 8.1 percent decrease.
Cole not only recruits multicultural students. She works to keep them at the University through her other job as a student coordinator for stEp Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers, a program that helps minority students adjust to college.
A lot of students come to the University unprepared Cole said, but with stEp they can have help with their school work and their personal lives.
Through the program, Cole helped one Denver native decide to come to the University.
"She didn't want to come because it was a long way from home." Cole said.
MINORITIES ON LAWRENCE CAMPUS
997 Asian Americans
881 African Americans
844 Hispanic Americans
347 American Indians
Source: Kansas Board of Regents Fall 2004 enrollment figures
Through personal e-mails and phone calls Cole convinced her to choose the University.
Once she arrived on campus, Cole worked with her through stEp and is now hiring the student to work for the program.
"It's great to see her personal growth," Cole said. "I got to recruit her, keep her and then hire her."
Partnerships help the minority recruitment and programming work. Mercado said.
"These students really want to help." Mercado said.
The recruiting team started in 2000 with just volunteers and has grown to a paid position for the student peers.
Mercado said the students were paid because it helped retain the group since all students are busy and some pay bills.
"It shows a global perspective for students and gives a better representation of our nation, which gives better opportunities for our students here," Mercado said.
These students help increase diversity on campus by recruiting students with from all different nationalities and backgrounds.
The increase of minority groups at the University is a joint effort between recruitment practices and retainment practices, Mercado said.
"They work hand in hand to increase students and help out with the students' success," Mercado said.

Soldiers charged in Iraqi murders
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT RILEY — Six soldiers from one infantry regiment based at Fort Riley have been accused of murder in three separate incidents.
It seems clear something has gone wrong, but the Army and mental health professional aren't sure what it is, or why this unit has been so troubled.
The soldiers are from 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry. About 750 are serving their second tour in Iraq, where four men from Charlie Company have been charged with murdering Iraqi civilians.
Two others, both who served during the invasion of Iraq with Bravo Company, are charged with murdering two other men from the unit at a rural Clay County, Kan., house.
Few details are known about the killings, but officials said they were unrelated.
The four soldiers of Charlie Company now in Iraq were charged in two separate incidents. Sgt. Michael P. Williams of Memphis, Tenn., and Spc. Brent W. May of Salem, Ohio, are both charged with murder of three Iraqis.
Staff Sgt. Johnny M. Horne Jr. of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Staff Sgt. Cardenas J. Alban of Inglewood, Calif., are charged with murdering one Iraqi.
The mother of one of the soldiers charged with the Kansas killings said war changed her son significantly.
"It seems that he was not healthy," said Pennie Macdowell, mother of Sgt. Aaron Stanley of Bismarck, N.D., who is charged with with first-degree murder.

Traditions not reserved only for mainstream sports
The Kansan Editorial Board addressed why football and basketball players deserve equal respect. While that is a wonderful concept, it isn't all that "equal." We easily and automatically lend our support to certain supports while many other non-revenue sports are omitted.
Football isn't the only sport happening right now. Soccer, volleyball and cross country are in season and doing well. In fact, the women's volleyball team is ranked in the top 25 and the soccer team is among the top 10 in the nation.
They have the wins. They don't have the fans.
University of Kansas fans seem to have a tunnel vision when it comes to athletics. They focus on football, for a few weeks at least, and then their sights are set on men's basketball. Even when other sports try to distract the fans' attention with sparkly objects such as wins and tournament appearances, the majority of KU supporters stay true to the big two — football and men's basketball.
Some people credit the basketball team's winning record as the reason Allen Fieldhouse is perpetually packed. After last year's season that resulted in a bowl game appearance, football attendance has increased, but winning records cannot be everything. Even during less successful football seasons, a large core group of fans showed up.
Part of it has to do with sports culture. We are highly acclimated to mainstream sports. During Olympic years we see more volleyball, soccer and track and field events, but on a normal Saturday, all the major networks are likely to show the gridiron instead of the soccer pitch. On the other hand, soccer and volleyball are not sports that we are completely unfamiliar with. We experience these programs in our youth and many students probably went to high schools where these sports were offered.
The answer lies in a quality that makes this University great: tradition. Basketball and football games are more than simple athletic contests: they are ceremonies complete with fan-favorite rituals such as the Rock Chalk chant, football pregame video, Alma Mater and historic venues. We camp. We tailgate. It's more than a game: It's an experience.
hence.
It's time to spread the ceremony around. Students and fans need to embrace these other also-important teams as their own. The tradition cannot just come from wins. It is in us, the fans.
We can start new traditions and continue some old, when we make the effort to attend these games and celebrate not only the athletes and teams but the athletes and teams but the athletic history of this University, we're doing our part to make the teams stronger.

Campus full of dating possibilities
The University of Kansas has many positives for the socialite student. Besides the outstanding bar and party scene, the dating scene has quite the reputation as well. While it seems a 30,000-person campus population would provide a lucrative dating scene, always full of new faces and friends of friends, it actually works against you as a date.
GUYS AND GALS
a date.
A huge populace makes it easy to lose sight of what you are looking for in a companion, and in turn, settle for something less. Settling is where danger ensues, because it most certainly leads to unforeseen awkwardness, dissatisfaction and even heartache.
GUTS AND GREES
The settling risk factors run higher than you would think, with the severity dependent upon the scenario. If you simply settle for a one night stand, for example, a number of things can happen: First, the assured morning-after awkwardness, in addition to possible shock at the intoxicated decision you made. Second, the chance you did something with a person that indicates a level of commitment to them you did not intend. If you falsely reciprocated his or her feelings, you may have invited anger, possible stalking and indisputably, a marred reputation. Third, if you get into settling as a habit, you may never be able to draw the line. This tendency can escalate into dating, then into more serious relationships.
The Singles Café Web site for daters provides a list of "ways people can unknowingly settle for less than they
ASHLEY SMITH opinion@kansan.com
want and expect" in relationships. These reasons include: settling for someone's image or reputation, settling because your friends or family believe someone is ideal for you, settling because you share physical attraction with a person, settling because he or she is madly in love with you or settling because you believe you can change the things you dislike about someone.
Settling is not to be confused with seeing someone you would not normally date. It is instinctive being surrounded by so many fresh faces, so much choices, that you might want to try a little of everything. Think about the kid-in-the-candy-store concept. As a child, did you only want your favorite candy that you already knew you loved? No, you wanted to try every candy in the store, just to make sure you weren't missing out on anything. That same childlike concept applies to dating. While you already know what satisfies you, alternatives are appealing because they're fresh and new.
settle while waiting around for their prince to come, he will be blind to her because she is "tangled in a web of useless, half-hearted men, lurking around because she hasn't asked for much from them."
A relationship column at Askheartbeat.cautions if women
The site further encourages that, "It really is okay to be selfish enough to refuse to settle. More women should chose to be alone until they find the man who is capable of loving them as they need and want to be loved."
No matter how much the dating scene has burned you in the past or how overwhelming the social scene may be, he or she is out there. Even if we have become cynical or bitter, we must not forget to hold onto a childlike faith in true love. The fairy tales our parents read us before bed really can come true. Don't kid yourself, deep down, you know what you are looking for.
So go back to that image you made of the perfect person when you were young. As much skepticism, contempt and plain distrust I had for the concept of a soulmate, someone has recently entered my life and renewed my belief in true love. Ladies, un-crumple that "Prince Charming List" you so adamantly made after watching Cinderella for the umpentheth time when you were eight. Because he is out there in the flesh, dreaming of a girl like you.

Bracelet profiteering unethical
We all have seen the countless people wearing them on campus and have seen it even more during the sports contests that we see on television and in person. There were two articles written about them in The University Daily Kansan.
The LiveSTRONG bracelet has become the newest trend in sports and at colleges and universities around the country. This little bracelet is in such high demand that people who are interested in purchasing one cannot do so without going to auctions on Web sites such as eBay.
such as buy.
They have been back ordered on the Web site www.wearyellow.com for weeks and it will take about three to four weeks for an order of 10 to become available. Why is this? What is all the fuss about?
GUEST COMMENTARY

GUEST COMMENTARY
As many people already know, the LiveSTRONG bracelet is endorsed by six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. After surviving testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs and brain, Armstrong became an advocate for cancer research.

Thirteen million wristbands have been sold for $1 a piece, with profits going toward cancer research.

I was appalled to see there was someone out there who saw this as nothing more than a fad and a way to make a quick buck.
After reading the article "Student lives strong by supply and demand" in the Sept. 23 edition of The Kansan, I was appalled to see there was someone out there who saw this as nothing more than a fad and a way to make a quick buck.
out there who see the popularity of the bracelet as a way to make a profit. This is not justified.
I understand that most college students have difficulty accumulating money while they are in school, but there are so many other ways to get it instead of exploiting the popularity of an item that helps fund cancer research.
FRIDA
If the person mentioned in the article wanted others to have these bracelets, he should have done things differently. He could not have purchased the 300 bracelets he sold and let others buy them.
These people should have been assured all of the money that they were spending went directly to charity. If he had to buy the bracelets and sell them on eBay, he could have gotten his initial investment of $300 back and given the rest to the charity.
Nobody should use the popularity of an item from a charity for personal gain.
It is my hope that people at the University and other places in the country understand that every dollar collected from the sale of the LiveSTRONG bracelets should go toward finding a cure for cancer, not for personal gain.

HART: Senator takes questions

Hart said, "I mentioned at the start how I enjoyed being among fellow Democrats, but I thought I was joking."
I was joining.
After the presidential debate, which was shown at the Lied Center, Hart answered questions from the audience, and at times he critiqued both candidates.
Hart thought the president was wrong to vaguely refer to "the enemy" without pinning down specifics.
"When you declare war on terrorists, Mr. President, do you mean only those that attack us, or all terrorists?" Hart asked. "If you mean all terrorists, we've got a long century ahead of us."
"Kerry missed the point," he said. "The world standard is that the action must be imminent and unavoidable, then you can take pre-emptive action."
He also criticized Sen. John Kerry for failing to pin down the president on the "global standard" for deciding when to take preemptive action.

Laura Johnson, Topeka freshman, said that she enjoyed Hart's speech.
"The point Senator Hart made that stood out the most to me was the fact that the reasons for invading Iraq were empirical and the United States citizens were not informed of the true reasons," she said.

That's an area I feel very strongly about — we need to make it as easy as possible for families to put money into tax-free accounts so that families can save money with the high cost of tuition in a tax-free way, and I also think that if there is not agreement on that in Congress, then we should also consider making college tuition tax deductible.

She's a grad student now, but she still doesn't qualify for in-state tuition, even though she has lived here for so long and is planning on staying in Kansas because she hasn't yet worked for a straight 12-month period. So we're penalizing people in that situation, and at the same time we're giving an $8,000 subsidy to people whose presence here is a violation of federal law.

His true passion was acting and comedy.
"What a terrific boost for our students," Berg said. "For them to imagine that someone sitting in the very chair they're now sitting in at Oldfather Studios or Budig will be lighting up televisions all over the world this weekend when Saturday Night Live begins a new season, well, that's pretty heady encouragement."
Riggle is an inspiration to students in the theater and film department at the University, Berg said.

The year is 2032, humans coexist with robots and an evil conglomerate is plotting to take over the world. If you're thinking, "I hate Will Smith movies," think again. This is the plot for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, the new Japanese animation, or anime, release.

directed by Mamoru Oshii, a veteran of anime and the director of the original Ghost in the Shell.
Born in Tokyo in 1951, Oshii has directed multiple features since the anime movement began in the 1980s, including *Pattolaw* and *Angel's Egg*. Anime is now a billion-dollar global industry, with a cult following in the United States. Oshii recently discussed *Ghost in the Shell 2* in a phone interview. Maki Teshima, who works for Production IG, the film's production company, helped with the translation.
Q: Why did you choose to combine 2-D and 3-D animation in Ghost in the Shell 2?
A: This is the first anime movie where the background is all 3-D. With 3-D, I was able to give more space in the background. I have a group of traditional animators who draw my characters, and I wanted to use their skills. There are still a lot of people in Japan who appreciate 2-D.

Q: When you make a film, are you more concerned with capturing certain images or with telling a story?
A: It's case by case. In some of my movies, there's more weight put on beautiful pictures. In others, there's more weight put on the story. When I have a big budget, I can concentrate on directing beautiful pictures.
Q: One of your characters makes a reference to "multinationals and the criminal elements that feed off their spoils." In the age of Enron and Halliburton, is this a critique of the multinational corporations of today?

INNOCENCE
Ghost in the Shell 2:
Innocence is a new peak in the art of anime, combining hand-drawn characters with CGI backgrounds, but the film's visual splendor fails to gloss over writer-director Mamoru Oshi's familiar man versus storyline storyline.

the shell 2 is set in the year 2032, when humans coexist with "cyborgs" (robots with souls) and "doll." (robots without
souls). A detective named Batou is looking for a runaway cyborg that may be responsible for the brutal killing of its owner.
The movie is reminiscent of Blade Runner and this summer's Will Smith release I, Robot. It's also less fun than either of those sci-fi extravaganzas. Oshii's characters quote endlessly from Descartes and Nietzsche, as if to prove the filmmaker has been
boning up on his philosophy. The film finally kicks into hyperdrive when Batou enters a labyrinth mansion, where characters dissolve into hologram and Oshii plays tricks with time.
It's a stunning sequence, but Oshili's eye-popping pageantry ultimately fights a losing battle with his empty narrative.

Softball season to begin
Team geared to win first fall games of the year at Classic

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
www.kansan.com
The Kansas softball team will take the field for the first fall ballgame this weekend as the team hosts the Jahawk Fall Classic at Arrocha Ballpark.
The Jayhawks have not played since last year's Big 12 Tournament. Kansas ended the tournament with a loss to Oklahoma, and the team has been waiting for an opportunity to get back on the field.
It has been a long off-season, but the team said it was ready to play again.
"It exciting to take what we've been working on and put it together in a game," said junior infielder Jessica Moppin. "It's fun to play in front of a crowd as opposed to practice."
The field for the two-day event includes Washburn, Emporia State and Johnson County Community College. Kansas' first game is at 2 p.m. Saturday against Washburn.
These first games will provide the layhawks with needed experience.
With three freshmen, the team will have an opportunity to jell this weekend.

vs. Johnson County at noon vs. TBA at 2 p.m.
The coaching staff is also looking forward to game action.
"We're excited and anxious to get out there and play," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Game speed is a lot faster than practice speed, and we have a lot of work to do."
Kansas is the favorite to take the title, and the players and coaches expect to win.
However, they know the tournament mainly serves as a tune-up for the spring season.
"We should definitely win, and we will be disappointed if we don't," Moppin said. "But that being said, it won't really hurt us if we lose a game. The ones that really count in the spring are what we are preparing for."

Height advantage helps hitters, blockers
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Fans who attended the Kansas volleyball team's Wednesday match against Nebraska might have noticed one Cornhusker who stood out from her teammates during warmups, 6-foot-5 outside hitter Sarah Pavan.
Attendees likely noticed her again once the match was under way, as she notched 11 kills.
"It definitely helps to have a height advantage," said freshman opponent hitter Emily Brown of front-line positions in Big 12 Conference volleyball.
Outside and opposite hitters attack and block on the perimeters of the court.
But in volleyball, it's an advantage for a hitter to have her strong hand on the inside.
The two players do the same jobs on opposite sides of the court: outside on the left, opposite on the right. The positions are not much more different from each other than left and right fielder are in baseball.
"It's all in the angles," the 6-foot-2 Brown said.
She said right-handed players playing on the right side of the court had to wait for a pass to cross their bodies before they could attack.
"I played outside all my life, and the transition from the left side was hard for me," she said.
"In the middle, everything's a lot quicker," Brown said. "You usually have more hands in front of your face."
Two middle blockers, or middle hitters, round out the quartet of hitters of a typical college volleyball team.
After successfully making the transition, Brown has been temporarily moved back to the left side to fill in for injured sophomore starter Jana Correa.

"She's a great athlete with a great attitude," Brown said. And she's very confident.
Lima is also aware of how demanding her position is.
"Middle is one of the hardest positions," Lima said. "You have to be aware of every single ball."
She said middle blockers had to be completely involved with every point because they had to time a jump every time the ball was on their side of the court.
"Outsides don't have to jump every ball," she said. "Middles have to jump even if the setter's not going to set you."
Lima said when the ball was passed outside, she jumped in the middle to distract the other team's blockers.
Brown said middle blocker was also difficult because the player had to shuffle back and forth, whereas outside and opposite hitters are responsible for blocking on on their edge of the net.
On the court, Lima said she relied on her teammates to guide her actions.
Brown and Lima both said scouting and communication were key for the front line.

"Before the games, we go through their hitters' techniques," Brown said. "If a girl hits mainly cross court, we talk about where the outside hitter's going to set up the block."

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas men's golf team may travel away from Lawrence next week, but senior Andrew Price will return home.
Price will compete with the Jayhawks in the Windon Memorial Intercollegiate from his hometown of Lake Forest, Ill., on Oct. 4 and 5. The tournament will be held at Conway Farms Golf Club, the course Price played on growing up.
Price said he was one of the first members to join the club when it opened 14 years ago. Family, friends and members of the club will be in attendance to support Price and the lavhawks next week.
"I can't wait to get back," Price said. "The course is in great shape. It should be fun."
Price was a regular at Conway Farms this summer, when he returned to the Chicago area during summer break. He said that he practiced there every day to strengthen his game. He also traveled to tournaments at Pinehurst, N.C., Ann Arbor, Mich., and Albuquerque, N.M., to gain experience.
Price talked strategy with coach Ross Randall this week concerning ways to succeed in the tournament. Price said that he just had to keep hitting it in the right spots and good scores would follow.
The players will have time to spend with their families this weekend before tournament play. Price said that the team's parents would play the course on Saturday with the players. The practice round would ensue on Sunday.

The No. 12 Kansas soccer team continues conference play this weekend with two more home games. The Jayhawks head into the weekend with an overall record of 9-2 and a 1-1 conference record.
retention record. The team will first face 2-7 Texas Tech today. In last year's meeting in Lubbock, Texas, the Red Raiders came away with a 3-2 victory.
In today's game, senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller will look for vengeance for last year's loss.
"We've been talking about it in our scouting reports this year, and we can't go off of what happened last year."
Miller said. "Obviously we would like to avenge that loss, but this is a completely different team that we are playing.
They've improved greatly, so we're going to have to take them just as we would any other team."
The leading Jayhawk scorers — senior Rachel Gilfillan, junior Caroline Smith and sophomores Nicole Cauzillo and Holly Gault — will look to add to their totals, as each have scored at least three goals this season.
Miller is currently leading the Big 12 in goals against average with 0.36, save percentage with 0.922 and shutouts with seven.
Freshman Priscilla Esquivel leads the Red Raiders offensively with seven goals for the season.
SOCCER SCHEDULE
TODAY
vs. Texas Tech at 4 p.m.
SUNDAY
vs. Baylor at 1 p.m.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said Esquivel was talented.
To control her, he said the team needed to not dive in on her and not give her an opportunity in front of the goal.
On the defensive side, Texas Tech has a goalie-bv-compete.
Juniors Megan Knauss and Beth Lippert and freshman Tina Rincon have each started at least three games in goal.
In Sunday's game the Jayhawks will battle the Lady Bears of Baylor. Baylor has an overall record of 4-4-1 and are 1-1 in conference.
Knauss has the best stats of the three with a 1.60 goals against average and a 0.778 save percentage.
Anna Schuch leads Baylor team with 12 points on four goals and four assists. Freshman goalkeeper Ashley Holder has seen most of the action in net for Baylor.
The Lady Bears are coming off an upset victory against No. 22 Texas last Sunday in Waco, Texas.
Holder has a 1.81 goals against average and a 0.758 save percentage.
Miller said she wants intense play and victories this weekend.

play." Miller said. "Obviously, if we don't get scored on we can't lose. So looking from that stand point, I'm going to do my best to be focused for 90 minutes each day."
With a victory during the weekend, coach Francis will get his 100th career victory.
He enters the weekend with a career record of 99-66-7.
Francis is already the winningest coach in program history with 66 victories at Kansas.
"More important to me is beat Texas Tech," Francis said. "The 100th win is a nice milestone, but right now the most important thing for us is it is a win that we need."

Hawkins' suspension over; his priorities now straight
Kansas junior guard Jeff Hawkins has returned to the men's basketball team after serving a month-long suspension for off-the-court issues.
Coach Bill Self announced Wednesday that Hawkins had rejoined the team after putting his priorities in order the last month. Hawkins is currently taking part in all team activities, including the team's off-season conditioning drills, which began Monday.
Self suspended Hawkins on Aug. 23, saying the guard needed to become more responsible before being reinstated to the team. The 5-foot-11 guard averaged 1.7 points in 31 games last season, scoring a career-high 19 points against Texas Christian.

'Crucial' race could decide champion, cause headaches
TALLADEGA, Ala. — There will be frayed nerves all around Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, and not just because of the importance of the EA Sports 500 to the 10 drivers competing for the title. There's also the inherent danger of racing 500 miles with carburetor restrictor plates that slow cars, creating big packs that often lead to big crashes.

Rebounding with Denver
Former defensive all-star Rodman works out with Nuggets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The point guard thought he was great. The general manager had no comment. Dennis Rodman himself? He thinks the Denver Nuggets could really use a guy like him.
The 43-year-old former NBA rebounding champion's attempt at a comeback took another step Thursday when he participated in an informal workout with the Nuggets.
"Talk to other players and they'll say that wasn't a 43-year old guy that was running today." Rodman told the Rocky Mountain News. "That wasn't a 43-year-old guy. That was a freak out there."
Nuggets.
Asked why Rodman was present at the scrimmage, which lasted most of the morning at the Pepsi Center, Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandewegha said, "He came here to see how he plays against NBA players."
Freaky or not, it was hard to tell whether he had a future with the
Rodman worked out briefly with the team last week, but had to leave early because he was bothered by an ingrown toenail.
Rodman also thought he was good. Training camp starts next week, and Vandeweweghe wouldn't say whether Rodman would have a spot. Rodman said he'd be waiting by the phone.
"He looked pretty good," Miller said. "He's in shape."
toenail.
A week later, he returned, and point guard Andre Miller was impressed.
"I'm looking forward to a phone call," he said. "I want to come here and play and show people that I can bring some life back into the NBA and some fun.
"Denver needs somebody like me in the city."
Rodman was the four-time rebounding champion and two-time defensive player of the year during a 14-year career mostly with the Pistons, Spurs and Bulls. He last played in 2000.
He stayed in the news during his career and after retirement thanks to, among other things, his bad temper, his love of partying, his multicolored hair, his eclectic life life — he briefly dated Madonna and was married for five months to Carmen Electra — and his multiple run-ins with the law.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THOMASTOWN, Ireland — Tiger Woods pursed his lips and cursed under his breath as he stood over his first tee shot, feeling spasms in his back and knowing the sharp pain that was coming with each shot.
He yelped after his second drive. His knees buckled after making contact on the sixth tee. He stopped a half-dozen times and lifted his shirt so his caddie could rub heating cream between his shoulder blades.
what he didn't expect was the score — a 4-under 68 that left Woods two shots behind British Open champion Todd Hamilton after one painful round in the American Express Championship on Thursday.
Campbellson. "I thought it might loosen up a little bit, but it didn't." Woods said. "I was hoping the spasms would go away, but that didn't happen, either. I just had to get through it somehow and post a number."
Woods hurt his back when he fell asleep in an awkward position while flying home from New York last week in his private plane.
He said on the eve of the tournament that he might not be able to play, an injury report met with skepticism until he showed up on the practice range and went 20 minutes before taking a full swing.

By the end of a cool, overcast day at Mount Juliet, only the score next to his name looked normal.
"Quite nice." Hamilton said. "Even if the guy is healthy or hurt, he's got a big heart. He can be hitting the ball all over the place — which he's done a lot lately — and still shoot 2, 3, 4 under. The guy never gives up."

48 of the 68 players in the $7 million World Golf Championship broke par.
The course played longer because of the damp air and soft fairways, but the greens at Mount Juliet are among the purest in golf and are always accommodating.
Hamilton took advantage with four straight birdies down the stretch before he made his only bogey of the day on the final hole, going from rough-to-rough and having to chip to 4 feet to limit the damage. He wound up with a 66 and a one-stroke lead over a half-dozen plavers.

straight pars before making three birdies down the stretch for a 69.
Call him 'Oscar'
Woods has managed just fine with previous injuries. He hit a baseball-sized rock at the '99 Tour Championship that jammed his wrist, but he recovered easily to win.
He had dry heaves from a stomach virus in the final round of the Bay Hill Invitational last year, often bending over in the trees, and still hung on to win by 11.
Some of the caddies privately called him "Oscar" for his dramatic performance, but Thursday was no act.
Woods changed his swing to alleviate the pain, at times looking like Corey Pavin with a short, choppy swing, and at times looking like Gary Player by stepping forward with his right foot after impact.
"I had a hard time turning either way," Woods said. "I don't know how it looked on TV, whether or not my shoulder turn was halfway decent, but it sure didn't feel very good."
He still managed to extend his cut streak to 132 tournaments simply by teeing off since the World Golf Championship has no cut.
Woods took two painkillers as soon as he arrived at Mount Juliet, and he looked like an amateur warming up for a Wednesday pro-am on the range. His opening tee shot was a weak fade, although he made birdie. Woods also birdied the second hole from 20 feet.
From thick rough on the side of a slope on the par-5 eighth, he dug into the grass and laid up in perfect position, setting up a 15-foot birdie. Then on the ninth, his tee shot dribbled into a bunker close to a steep lip. From 180 yards, he figured to have no shot, but the ball came out clean and he made a 40-foot birdie putt from the fringe.
Some people in the gallery wondered how long he would
last before walking in. But Woods also hit a few shots that indicated he could still play, and still post a good score.
woods stood there and smiled when the putt dropped, the only time all day he looked as if he was having fun.
"I was playing nice and then kind of blew it on the 11th," Scott said. "That got me fired up a little bit, and I finished strong. If I was even (par), then it's hard work the rest of the week. But I'm in good shape right out of the box, so I'll just hang around with them and see if I can have a good Sunday."
The rest of the day, he grimaced and winced, holding his left arm close to his chest, or bending over on his bag as caddie Steve Williams rubbed the heating cream into his back.
"I guess that was to try and keep it warm, but he couldn't believe the knots in it," Woods said. "He said, 'It feels like you've got a sleeve of balls in there.'"
Scott was in shock on the par 3 11th after blasting out of a bunker to 3 1/2 feet. The par putt slid 16 inches by the hole, and Scott missed that one coming back, then had to make a 3-footer for double bogey.
He started sticking his shots inside 10 feet, two-putted for birdie on the 17th and ended with a 25-foot birdie.
"I don't know what happened there," Scott said. "At least it didn't cost me too much."
Woods wasn't willing to look that far ahead.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police investigating the shooting of a Cleveland Indians pitcher near Kauffman Stadium said the incident reminds them of a shooting at the stadium four years ago that wounded a Royals fan.
Kyle Denney, who started Wednesday night's game against Kansas City, was hit in the leg by a small-caliber bullet that was fired into the team bus at the intersection of interstates 70 and 435 as the Indians were headed to Kansas City International Airport.
"I'm just trying to get to tomorrow," he said.
Police investigate baseball shooting
The bullet whizzed past outfielder Ryan Ludwick, who was injured slightly by debris, before hitting Denney's calf. Team trainers removed it immediately and the bus continued to the airport before Denney was taken to a local hospital. Denney stayed overnight at a Kansas City hotel before flying to Minnesota to rejoin teammates Thursday.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the 2000 shooting, a bullet passed through Virginia Olsthoorn's abdomen and lodged in her left elbow while she sat in the stadium's lower level, along the right field line.
"It brings back memories of it, for sure, yes it does." Sanders said of the 2000 case. "That was a random shooting. We want to hope this is a random act."
Police Sgt. Tony Sanders said the shooting was reminiscent of one in June 2000, when someone fired three shots into Kauffman Stadium, one of which hit a Haysville, Kan., woman who was watching a game between the Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates. One of the bullets hit a seat in the upper deck of the stadium, while the other struck the back of the scoreboard.
Though team officials insisted the shot came from outside of the stadium — most likely from a passing vehicle on I-70 or an area north of the highway — Olsthøn sued the Royals for
not ensuring nobody at the stadium had a gun.

Royala
The team denying responsibilty reached a confidential settlement with the
woman in June 2001. Nobody was ever arrested.
Sanders said solving Wednesday's case is a high priority for police because of the nature of the attack, not because it involved professional athletes.
"This is serious," he said. "We believe that whoever has done this could have seriously injured someone, or killed someone. Luckily the wound was considered minor and not life-threatening. That's the good thing about this whole situation."
he said a number of people have called police with tips, but no solid suspects have been identified. Kansas City has its share of drive-by shootings, but not usually along the interstate, he said.
"We deal with a fair amount of those over the course of the year," he said. "This being the interstate, though, we don't have people on a regular basis going down the interstate randomly firing at vehicles. The fact that we haven't found someone makes it all the more serious. It could be someone who would want to do it again."
As part of a routine rookie hazing ritual, Denney and other rookies were dressed in cheerleader outfits when the shooting occurred. The team trainers' credited the high white boots Denney was wearing for preventing further injury, said Indians spokesman Bart Swain
Denney changed from the cheerleader outfit to street clothes before being taken to the hospital, Swain said, while the rest of the rookies boarded the flight to Minneapolis, skirts and all.

Team O'Malley eliminated from playoffs
By B.J. RAINS
brains@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Editor's Note: Thousands of students at the University of Kansas participate in intramural sports each semester. Each week during intramural season, a Kansan sportswriter will highlight one intramural game, as suggested by Recreation Services.
For the second consecutive game, the BV All-Stars and Team O'Malley were tied at halftime of their intramural flag football contest. And for the second consecutive game, the BV All-Stars came away with the victory.
This time the game meant more, as Team O'Malley was eliminated from the open division of the flag football playoffs and the BV All-Stars stayed alive with a 29-12 victory.
Junior quarterback Tyler Bron opened up the scoring in the first half, when he hit his teammate junior Greg Kiblen with a 60-yard pass for the first of Kiblen's two touchdowns on the day.
Team O'Malley countered with a score of its own, a 15-yard pass from sophomore Brian O'Malley to sophomore Brett McDonald, to tie the game at six. But on their next possession, O'Malley's pass was intercepted by junior Erik Harper, who returned it for a touchdown, giving the All-Stars the lead back 12-6. McDonald added another touchdown late in the first half, which tied the game at 12-12.
Controversy swirled in the second half. The BV All-Stars had the ball at midfield, and trouble began as quarterback Tyler Bron dropped back to pass.
pass.
Team O'Malley sophomore defender Jamison MacDonald rushed towards Bron, and BV All-Star junior lineman Colin Manerick tried to block him. MacDonald made contact with Manerick, sending Colin flying to the ground. The referee threw a flag for illegal contact on MacDonald, but the play was still alive. It was a free play for the BV All-Stars. As MacDonald argued with the referee, Bron threw up a high, deep pass into the back of the end zone. BV All-Star junior wide receiver
Aaron. Kuddes caught the pass for the touchdown.
"The safety bit on the pump fake and when Aaron came back across the middle, he was open and I hit him." Bron said. "They only blitzed one guy, so I had plenty of time to wait back and watch the play develop."
watched the game. The BV All-Stars suffered a blow to their receiving core late in the game, when junior wide receiver Even Riesman left the game with a hamstring injury. After making a catch, Riesman was running across the middle of the field when he felt a pop in his left hamstring, and immediately fell to the ground. The degree of his injury was not immediately known, and his status for next weeks game remains
The BV All-Stars had a definite speed advantage over Team O'Malley, and they used that to its advantage, throwing deep passes all game long.
Team O'Malley may not be the fastest team in the league, but that doesn't bother the team.
"That was the game plan," Kuddes said. "We knew we were a lot faster than them, so we wanted to get past them and throw it deep. We did that, and came away with the win."
"We're the most unathletic team in the league, but we have the most fun," said Team O'Malley junior wide receiver Andy Seitnater.

She said all the frontline positions required quick feet and what coach Ray Bechard calls a "soft eve."

Brown said the team would have to take advantage of its height and athletic ability on the front line to rebound from its 1-3 start in Big 12 Conference play.

D.C. scrambles to fund new,old stadiums
WASHINGTON — The celebration can't last long in the nation's capital. The real work is just beginning now that the Montreal Expos are on the way.
Major League Baseball has some unfinished business, too. The other team owners must approve the move when they meet in November. A buyer has to be found for the relocated team. A deal must be completed that appeases Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos
The city government must race against time to approve funding for a new stadium. RFK Stadium must be renovated in time for opening day in April, and a team nickname needs to be chosen.
"We finally have taken the first step," commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday, shortly after announcing the Expos' move to Washington. "And I want to say, obviously, there's a lot of work to be done."
For a day, at least, there was unbridled jubilation among officials who had worked diligently to end the city's 33-year drought of major league baseball. Mayor Anthony Williams drew cheers as he dunned a Washington Senators cap at a news conference at the City Museum.
"After 30 years of waiting and waiting and waiting," Williams said, "and lots of hard work and more than a few prayers, there will be baseball in Washington in 2005!"
The team will play at RFK for three seasons while a new ballpark is built along the Anacostia River, south of the Capitol. It's a $440 million package that requires approval by the city council.
Some present council members have objected to the plan, which would pay for the ballpark with a new tax on the city's largest businesses, a tax on baseball-related income and lease payments by the team's new owners.
"It's the team owners, business owners, the stadium users who are paying for this, and not one dime of a D.C. resident is covering this important investment in our city," he said.
Williams went on the offensive to answer the criticism.

Alvamar Golf Club, Kevin Ward, Leawood senior, won the individual tournament, and continued his run of victories from the summer. He said that it was nice to get a victory early in the season, but he wanted to focus and prepare for the Windon Memorial Intercollegiate tournament next week.
"Andrew knows the course so well," Ward said. "It's pretty good to have almost two home tournaments in a row. I really hope that he can go out and play well, because that will mean a lot to him, going to his home course."

Randall said the team did not play its best golf last week and looked to build on the victory at Alvamar.
Availam.
The golf team will have to get things going without the services of Gary Woodland, Topeka sophomore. Woodland injured his back and has been in pain for seven to eight weeks. Randall said doctors told Woodland not to take a golf swing for the next eight to 10 days.
Randall held additional qualifying rounds to determine who would replace Woodland next week. The qualifier ended today.
Randall said that he would rather have Woodland miss next week and get better for the last two tournaments of the semester. Woodland should be available when Kansas travels to Palo-Alto, Calif., for the Nelson-Stanford Invitational on Oct. 22.

Nebraska will continue Hawk-husking streak
I
After the past two weeks, I must have hit rock bottom.
I've successfully proven that my football game picking skills can border on ineptness. You've beat me so many times I find new bruises every day.
No matter. This week, I'm going to make a comeback. I think I should set realistic expectations, though. My goal is to improve on back-to-back 8-5 weeks with a resounding 10-3 record. Pathetic, no?

KICK THE KANSAN
Kansas at Nebraska
Well, I suppose its time to put my name on the line, one last shot at defending my reputation. With that said: this week's Kick the Kansas.
I followed through on my vow to ride Kansas through Texas Tech and look where that got me. Nebraska has won every Kansas-Nebraska football game for the past three and a half decades. Guess what? Nebraska's going to extend its streak to 36.
Pick: Nebraska
7 Ohio State at Northwestern
Remember when the Kansas Jayhawks rolled into Evanston, Ill., 2-0 to face the lowly
Kurt Howell Bursztyn
JONATHAN KEALING

Northwestern Wildcats? Two weeks later the Jayhawks are 2-2 and the Wildcats are 1-3, their only victory coming against Kansas. Ohio State has managed a 3-0 record, with close records over most of its opponents. Ohio State will overwhelm Northwestern.
Pick: Ohio State
Pick: Ohio State Colorado at Missouri
Overrated/Underrated Missouri/Colorado. This was supposed to be the year of the Tiger in the Big 12 Conference North. So far, its been the year of the Buffalo. Missouri is just 2-1 after a nasty loss to Troy. Colorado, who was supposed to be bogged down by scandal and defections, are 3-0.
Pick: Colorado
15 Purdue at Notre Dame
the line and pick an upset, I get destroyed. On the other hand, Purdue beat its first two opponents by a combined score of 110-8. then came within eight points of losing to abysmal Illinois. Notre Dame is riding a three-game winning streak which includes victories over stout competition.
Every time I put my neck on
Pick: Notre Dame Rutgers at Syracuse
This game is a battle of Big East underachievers. Rutgers shocked college football and beat Michigan State, before losing to I-AA New Hampshire. Both of Syracuse's losses come from ranked team. The Orangemen have lost their two games by a combined 82-10. This game is tough, but Syracuse has done better, overall.
Pick: Syracuse #10 California at Oregon State
California is a top program, and getting better while Oregon State is 1-3 this season. California hasn't played a game in three weeks. Will this hiatus kill the team's momentum or be an extra chance for the team to prepare? Either way, Oregon State will have its hands full.
Pick: California
17 West Virginia at Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech usually produces a solid football program, but off-season scandals may have doomed this year's team. Quarterback Marcus Vick was suspended for the season after being found guilty of misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The charges stemmed from an accusation that he had sex with a 15-year-old. He and two teammates were found not guilty on that charge, but all faced the misdemeanor charges.
Pick: West Virginia #13 Louisiana State at #3 Georgia
Louisiana State is getting closer to its appropriate ranking, but it's not quite there yet. Its defeat at the hands of Georgia will push the team one step closer to the right spot. Georgia has proven to me that they are a legitimate title contender, even in the powerful Southeastern Conference.
Pick: Genrnia
— to borrow a Mangino term
an immature Jayhawk team in
Texas Tech at #2 Oklahoma
Texas Tech took advantage of
— to borrow a Mangino term
— an immature lavhawk team in
last week's victory. Oklahoma defines maturity with Heisman Trophy winner Jason White at the helm. Oklahoma probably would have taken over first place this week if it had played and won-last week, as Southern California struggled against unranked Stanford. The Sooners are just plain good.
Pick: Oklahoma Iowa State at #25 Oklahoma State
Don't look now, but the Oklahoma State Cowboys have snuck into the Top 25. Iowa State is better than last year. In a season when no one team is dominating in the Big 12 North, it would be a bad idea to write anyone off just yet, but, it's probably not going to be Iowa State at the top come November. Oklahoma State is challenging some of the premiere teams of the Big 12 Conference South.
A radio show I appeared on recently discussed the most difficult places to play in all of college football and A&M's Ryan Field is way up there at the top. The student body is proud and they have some of the best seats.
Pick: Oklahoma State Kansas State at Texas A&M
K-State may have been able to handle the atmosphere in the past, but this year they're just not good enough.
Pick: Texas A&M
14 Utah at New Mexico
DePauw at Chicago
Pick: Utah
Each year, it seems like some mid-major conference team tries to rock the boat that is the Bowl Championship Series system. This year, Utah has assumed the role, with a couple other teams vying for the role as well. New Mexico and its 2-2 record won't stand a chance when Utah comes to town.
This matchup is a battle of football titans. Wait, just kidding. Neither team is any good. Neither team has won more than it's lost. Flip a coin. Pick a name out of a hat. Unless you want to spend 20 minutes or more researching these teams, they're basically the same. Do yourself a favor and spend that time drinking a beer instead.
Pick: DePauw
St. Louis stadium might recieve upgrades Ram's star quarterback sick of losing games
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mo. sophomore in journalism and political science
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — At the end of this season St. Louis Rams wide receiver Isaac Bruce will have played on the lightning-fast artificial turf at the Edward Jones Dome for a decade, and he has the unnigly turp burns to prove it.
"They're not permanent," Bruce said, displaying various spots of discoloration on his arms. "They'll go away."
So will the carpet-over-concrete field that most players hate, and soon, if the Rams have their way. The initial lease the Rams signed with the city, St. Louis County and the state of Missouri as part of their move from the West Coast in 1995 contained a provision that called for the deal to be revisited every 10 years. Each decade, the dome must be judged to be in the top 25 percent of NFL stadiums in several components, topped perhaps by the number and condition of suites and club seats, or else the lease reverts to a year-to-year proposition.
Now is that time.
The Convention and Visitors Commission, the landlord of the building, and the stadium authority are in the process of completing $4-5 million in improvements to the dome's 120 suites, according to Bruce Sommer, director of the America's Center. That's not enough for the Rams, who want perhaps 60 more suites in addition to a new playing surface.
There's virtually no danger of the Rams leveraging the terms of the lease for another move. Both sides report no animosity in discussions. The Rams say simply that they want the best facility possible.
"I don't think anybody has that interest," Sommer said of a possible departure. "I don't believe they have an interest in leaving and we sure don't have an interest in them leaving."
The Rams have become entrenched in what has long been described as a baseball town. Since they arrived, every regular-season game has been sold out.
"This is not an escape clause," said Bob Wallace, the Rams' executive vice president and general counsel.
What it is, Wallace said, is smart business.
"It's not that you dictate terms," Wallace said. "One of the things everybody was trying to do, and it was clearly the intention of the Rams and I think of the negotiating parties of St. Louis, was they didn't want to build a beautiful building and then have it fall into disrepair."
Wallace said Busch Stadium, the Cardinals' 38-year-old well-maintained stadium just across downtown, is an example of forward-thinking stadium management. Busch was among a number of so-called cookie-cutter facilities opened in the 1960s, and it's the last one still standing — although next season will be its last — because the team's new ownership has been diligent on upkeep along with cosmetic upgrades such as a hand-operated scoreboard.
The biggest problem for the dome landlords is that 17 new stadiums, counting the renovation of Lambeau Field in Green
Bay, have opened since the Rams beat the Carolina Panthers 28-17 on Nov. 12, 1995, before 65,598 in the inaugural game at the $300 million dome. In other words, the standards just keep going up.
"They have a preservation fund, they knew they were going to have to keep the stadium in repair," Wallace said. "But I don't know if anybody contemplated that much of a change that quickly."
Topping the Rams' wish list is a desire for perhaps 60 more luxury suites that could be installed in the now little-utilized north end zone. Presently, that area is used as an auxiliary press box but it was mentioned in the original lease as a location for potential improvements.
The Rams also have issues with the seating capacity of the dome — about 5,000 shy of NFL standards even back in 1995. And Wallace said the size of the dome itself and its concourses is not "top tier," although there's little that can be done with that now.
"In this period of time," Wallace said, "we're not even going to raise that issue."
Under terms of the lease, the improvements must be completed by March 31, although the Rams have given approval to an extension to July 31. The Convention and Visitors Commission would like the deadline to be delayed further to 2007, and Wallace said the Rams are willing to wait till then.
Replacing the turf would be the biggest thing players would notice. The Rams have a forgiving practice field at Rams Park,
constructed of rubber shavings, and they'd like one installed at the dome. St. Louis and Indianapolis are presently the only NFL teams still using the old, unforgiving, artificial turf.
"You pay a price for playing on it," Bruce said. "If they get rid of it I'd like to have a piece of it to take home with me. But I like the new stuff."
"You don't have the same feeling after you play on artificial turf."
The sticking point is an item in the lease that stipulates the grass does not have to be changed because it would hinder the dome's ability to hold conventions and trade shows. While the Rams are on the road the next two weeks Ace Hardware is holding its national convention at the dome.
The problem is protecting the field when the Rams aren't in town. Artificial turf can be rolled up and so-called field turf cannot under present technology.
Thus far, Sommer said the Rams haven't asked for a new field.
"They've mentioned it, but we haven't dealt with the issue," Sommer said. "I'm sure there are other things we're going to do, but all we know for sure is what we have now."
It's likely the field demand will be issued soon.
"The playing field is a big issue," Wallace said. "We want to replace it and we think it's a big issue for a competitive reason as well. That's a hard surface, I think it's terrible, and that's something we would like addressed for next season."
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — On most Sundays, Marc Bulger's mad dash to the end zone might have been viewed as perhaps a defining moment in the career of a young quarterback. His 19-yard scramble up the middle on third down split the Saints' defense with 24 seconds to go for the apparent game-winning play.
"I think he's playing exceptionally well," St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz said. "He really did a great job in terms of responding to the challenge to move that ball downfield and get us in the end zone."
Instead, Bulger's heroes ended up as a mere footnote in a 28-25 overtime loss. And for Bulger, that's the way it should be. He's leading a 1-2 team, and that's the bottom line.
"I've always said all that matters is the record, and how I play doesn't really natter," Bulger said Wednesday. "Sometimes it's indicative of how a quarterback plays, but if we're not winning I'm not really concerned."
Bulger, who is 19-6 as the Rams' starter despite the loss, is saying the right things. He wants the team's fans to know losing hurts a lot.
"I know everyone's frustration, and we feel the same way," Bulger said. "It's our jobs, our livelihoods, and we want to win. It makes us sick to lose games like that."
He's doing the right things on the field, too, as evidenced by
his impressive early-season statistics.
He's fourth in the NFC in passer rating, threw for 358 yards against the Saints, and held his ground in the pocket against a defense that knew he was going to throw. The Rams called 54 pass plays and 15 runs.
Opposing coaches have taken note of the development.
The run was his fifth touchdown the last two seasons, so he's a bit of a dual threat too.
"He was running pretty fast," said wide receiver Isaac Bruce, who had a block to help finish the play.
Martz said Bulger was a bit stressed the first two games, given all that was put on his shoulders. Not anymore.
"He's shaking that off really well, and is on his way now." Martz said. "He's getting better and better and better. I'm very pleased with him."
Bulger downplays his 94.7 passer rating, which trails only Daunte Culpepper of the Vikings, Donovan McNabb of the Eagles and Brett Favre of the Packers, because it hasn't resulted in a lot of points. The Rams are averaging only 20 points per game and he has only three touchdown passes despite 915 yards in the air.

THE MASKED AVENGERS BY MAX KREUTZER & MAX SEUCILE FOR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
This year study making money the easy way, not the hard way. Get the money that you already have to work for you to make even more. There are those who understand this magic, and they've written books about it.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Just when you'd rather race off and have fun, obligation rears its ugly head. You'd better hurry and do what you promised even if you're not sure you can. You'll get points for showing up.
Money's the root of all evil, they say, but that doesn't have to be. It can also cause all sorts of wonderful things to happen. The choice is yours. Think long term.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8.
HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6.
Choose your battles carefully;
you don't want to waste your
time arguing with somebody
who's actually got a pretty good
idea. Think it over again.
Stick to the course you've
already set, the plan you've already made. There's something about it that you don't like, but you'll find a way around that.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Today is a 7.
Negotiations may prove fruitful but probably not today. You're more likely to hear everybody's objections to your suggestions. Take notes, and put in corrections.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Travel looks relatively good for today and tomorrow, but you'll have to deal with a couple of little annoyances. Don't forget your toothbrush — or your vehicle maintenance checklist.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 7.
What'll it be — love or money?
You shouldn't have to choose.
The best option, of course, is to have both. Keep that in mind as you negotiate.
You have a lot on your mind and maybe too much on your plate. Ask a practical partner to help before you request an extension. There's a chance you might not need it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Today is a 7.
You may be able to concentrate a little bit better today. It's a good idea for you to try, anyway, so you can afford to go play.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 7.
The more you think about it, the more you might realize you've been doing things the hard way. It's difficult to change your habits even if they're not serving you well, but give it some consideration. It might be a good idea.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
Achieving success requires more than hard work, as you might know. it also requires somebody to love and to share the success with you. Don't overlook that part.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8.
You've got your feet planted firmly on the ground, so you're unlikely to fall for a silly romantic suggestion. But do consider it.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW
History repeats itself; Nebraska favored to win
By JONATHAN KEALING AND
RYAN COLAIANNI
sports@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITERS
Kansas comes into Saturday's contest at Nebraska with two streaks: two consecutive losses on the season, and 35 consecutive losses to the Cornhuskers. The Jayhawks desperately need a win this week if they wish to get their season back on track and reach their goal of going to a bowl game. It won't be easy. Kansas will face a tough Nebraska defense ranked sixth nationally and first in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have struggled with running the football the past two games and will face Nebraska's top rushing defense in the nation, giving up just 41.3 yards rushing per game. The Blackshirts — Nebraska's defenders — are also good at defending the pass with eight interceptions this season. Look for this game to be a defensive battle, but with the hostile environment and Kansas' losing history
history against the
team, Nebraska will win this football game.
Edu: Nebraska
Quarterback
Cornhusker fans have criticized sophomore quarterback Joe Dailey throughout this season. Dailey has thrown for 562 yards with seven touchdowns this season. He has not been particularly accurate, completing just 51 percent of his passes with eight interceptions in three games. Dailey also does not have the arm strength to throw the ball deep, but it is what Dailey can do on his feet that is impressive. He has three rushing touchdowns and is averaging more than four yards per carry. Kansas quarterback Adam Barmann has a different style. Barmann has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards in four games, including four touchdowns in the past two games. Unlike Dailey, Barmann has the arm to challenge a team's secondary. Barmann is not as mobile as Dailey is, averaging 2.4 yards per carry. With Barmann's strength and his accuracy, the edge goes to Barmann.
Edge: Kansas
Wide Receiver and Tight End
Nebraska junior tight end Matt Herian leads the team in receptions with 195 yards including three touchdowns. The West Coast offense that coach Bill Callahan instituted has helped improve Herian's production. Nebraska has only one other player with more than 100 receiving yards for the season. Kansas has four receivers with more than 100 yards receiving including Brandon Rideau, who has 233 yards on 23 catches with four touchdowns. With Nebraska's strong secondary, the Kansas wide receivers may have a difficult time getting open. But because Nebraska has a difficult time throwing the ball deep, the Kansas wide outs get the edge.
Edge, Kansas
Running Backs
Edge: Kansas
If there is one thing that can be cited as a cause of both Jayhawk losses, it would be an absent running game. While Kansas has talented backs, such as sophomore John Randle, the offensive line has been unable to open up holes. Nebraska is a team known for running the football and using up time. With junior I-back Cory Ross averaging over 122 yards per game, Nebraska should dominate this category. Edge: Nebraska
Mark Simmons
Offensive Line
Three starters were supposed to return to Nebraska's offensive line, including junior Richie Innocito, preseason All-Big 12. After an altercation and "repeated violations of team policies," coach Bill Callahan dismissed Innocito. Even with Inocito gone, Nebraska's line is still
head-and-shoulders above Kansas'. This week, coach Mark Mangino announced that he was going to try and implement a line rotation. With Kansas' offensive line, the answer may be quantity over quality. Edge: Nebraska
Secondary
impressive last week despite giving up more than 300 yards passing. The Jayhawks have intercepted eight passes this season, including two by senior safety Tony Stubbs. Stubbs is the anchor of the unit, ranking second on the team in tackles with 34. With Dailey's lack of arm strength, look for the secondary to push forward and have a large role in stopping the run. Nebraska also has eight interceptions and has converted turnovers into 31 points. It is led by All-American junior Josh Bullocks. Bullocks had 10 interceptions last season and has one pick this season. The Nebraska secondary is one of the best in the nation, allowing less than 200 passing yards per game. The Nebraska secondary should be a challenge for Barmann and the Kansas wide receivers.
Edge: Nebraska
Defensive Line
The Nebraska defensive line has been clogging up holes the entire season, giving up just more than 41 rushing yards. The unit also has eleven sacks for the season. Three 'Huskers have recorded two sacks this year. With the Kansas offensive line struggling, the Nebraska defensive line will be overpowering. Kansas will once again have a difficult time running the football. The Kansas defensive line has improved this year with 10 recorded sacks. But the past two weeks Kansas has allowed running backs to rush for more than 100 yards. The Nebraska running attack is good and should be successful against Kansas' defensive line.

Special Teams
Kansas' special teams have had a split personality. The coverage and returns teams have done well, however the kicking has been abysmal. Kansas is 4-10 on field goals attempts this season. Nebraska is 2-2. On kickoffs, Nebraska is averaging 23.3 yards per return while Kansas is averaging 27.1. Punt returns tin
Gabriel Toomey, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman all have double-digit tackles as well. For Nebraska, seniors Barrett Ruud and Ira Cooper lead the linebackers. They have combined for 51 tackles, but their totals are well behind Kansas' top two linebackers.
Edge: Kansas
slightly in Nebraska' favor With all else being equal, Kansas' inept kicking game tosses this category to the other team. Edge: Nebraska
Coaches
Only five coaches have taken NFL teams to the Super Bowl and then left the pros to return to the college level. While Bill Callahan's departure from the professional game wasn't exactly voluntary, the experience he garnered there was immeasurable. No knock on Mangino, but it's hard to match up against a coach who has coached at every level of football and has played in the Super Bowl.

Delta Gamma hopes to raise money with philanthropy venture
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
kansan STAFF WRITER
More than 30 men struck a pose for the camera last week for the University of Kansas' first all-male calendar.
The Delta Gamma sorority selected 37 men to grace its "Men of KU" calendar. The men will be spread over 12 months for sure, with a possible 13th month being added, said Jaimie Johnson, Lincoln, Neb., junior, and vice president for Foundation at Delta Gamma. The variety of the men selected range from fraternity members, students strongly involved in organizations and a few athletes, she said.
The applicants included those involved in music, engineering, business finance and athletics, specifically those on the track and field, baseball and football teams.
"It was definitely worth it," Johnson said. "All the hard work so far has paid off. It's good just knowing they are being honored for their community involvement."

Suspects sought for false alarms
CrimeStoppers offers rewards for information leading to McCollum alarm culprits
BY AMANDA O'TOILE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Department of Student Housing is working with the University of Kansas Public Safety Office to find the person or persons involved in four false fire alarm pulls in McCollum Hall last week.
The KU Public Safety Office issued a report through CrimeStoppers for the criminal fire pulls, and Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety, said the program is one of the tools the departments are using in the ongoing investigation.
Cash could be awarded to students who call CrimeStoppers, 864-8888, with information regarding the crimes. Bailey said it would be up to a CrimeStoppers board to determine how much an informant would receive.
No calls have been made to CrimeStoppers yet, but Bailey said he wasn't discouraged.
Bailey said the safety office was still sifting through investigative information which was provided by the department of student housing. He could not say what kind of information it was or how it was collected.
He said Crimestoppers has been an effective tool in the past and the two
departments are collecting information in other ways.
Since the increase of false fire alarms, McCollum Hall has increased security rounds throughout the residence hall.
McColllum has had about 11 fire alarms since the semester began, which averages to more than one per week.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said at least eight of those were pulled alarms. The other alarms were legitimate responses for the alarm. One, for example, was set off by smoke from burnt noncorn.
Bailey said that number is not far off past averages.
Stoner said the proximity of the recent alarms is causing concern for students, teachers and parents concern.

Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., lost all of his fingers and one thumb in his struggle with bacterial meningitis. He has been out of the hospital for more than two weeks and is in physical therapy to become more independent and recover his range of motions. He said he didn't want to be the source of so much attention because he is just going through what he has to. He said he wants college students to realize the serious threat that meningitis poses.

Police still looking for McCollum rape suspect
BY AMANDA O'TOULE
aotoole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It has been a week since an 18-yearold female KU student reported to authorities that she was raped. And the suspect still hasn't been located.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, University of Kansas Public Safety Office, said they have been busy collecting information since the rape was reported.
The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has a partial identification of the suspect and has been looking for him since the rape was reported about noon on Friday.
"Part of the reason it's taking a while is there were a lot of people at the party," he said. "We're interviewing all of them so we can get an ID on the suspect."
The reported rape happened sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning in a room in McCollum Hall, the female student told KU public safety officers.
She told officials the rape happened after people left a gathering that earlier had taken place there.
Whether the suspect is located does not guarantee an arrest.
This is because cases usually do not have enough evidence to prove without reasonable doubt that a rape actually occurred, said Kathy Rose-Mookry, director of the Emily Taylor Recourse Center.
A lot of times, rape victims feel the need to shower and clean up after they are assaulted which destroys evidence Rose-Mockry said.
She suggests victims fight that urge and place any clothing or any other associated item in a paper bag, instead of using a plastic bag. Plastic bags can cause moisture to condense and ruin evidence.
Collecting evidence can be even harder when there is alcohol involved, she said, as the details of the crime can become hazy.
Bailey said both the female student and the suspect had consumed alcohol either during or before the gathering in McCollum. He said he would never blame a rape on alcohol consumption, but said a person's risk of victimization increases when alcohol is involved.
Statistically, at least 75 percent of rapes involve alcohol consumption, said Jerilyn Smith, director of center service at the GaDoGi SafeCenter, 2518 Ridge Ct. 202 said. In her personal experience, she said about 90 percent of rapes involve alcohol.
The Kansas statute on rape states that persons influenced by alcohol or any other chemical cannot legally consent to sexual intercourse. Therefore, a rape could be constituted if a person is drunk when intercourse is initiated.
when misuse is犯. Not only does alcohol inhibit decision-making abilities, but it also gives prosecuting attorneys leverage in a case if one ever materializes, Rose-Mockry said.
The GaDoGi SafeCenter offers legal and counselling assistance to students who have been raped.

Solidarity
Leave the library card behind for an unconventional look at the true meaning of anarchy.
by Robert Riley, Jayplaywriter
With a cold concrete floor below, small bookcases full of collections of esoteric books and magazines lean on each other for support. A group of Lawrence anarchists sit on an equally diverse assortment of furniture from dumpster diving days gone by. Hanging from the ceiling like a string of pennant flags, multicolored T-shirts declare slogans of anti-establishment rhetoric, yelling, "Fight for your class, not for your country." A woman stands in front of a group of self-professed anarchists as she teaches them the finer points of Spanish.
Kelly Parker, a former student at the University of Kansas, teaches a free Spanish class at Solidarity! Aside from Spanish, the library offers visitors an education on subjects from militarism to vegetarianism, which the average student's syllabus might not mention.
Dave Strano, library collective member, discusses political news with Scott Pinkelman, Lawrence resident and the coordinator of Students for an Egalitarian Society, which promotes thought and discussion about living in a world without authoritarian systems or hierarchies. Strano sits at a computer desk, which takes up half of a tiny office with bare concrete walls in the back of the library. Strano says being an anarchist in Lawrence, to him, means believing community organizations to be independently democratic, without any authoritative organizations above them. He says anarchism is a branch of socialism, which does not believe in the ability of the state to do what is best for it's people.
The anarchists plan to travel to the Republican National Convention in New York to protest not specifically against Bush, but against what they consider to be an inept form of government. Members of the organization have endured questioning by the FBI
about their intentions, although Hays says that no one has been harassed. Strano, who played a large roll in organizing the protest, says that the anarchists' activities remain separate from the library, and that the library itself is not directly involved in much activism.
"As long as someone is in power," Strano says, "someone else is suffering." He says the person in power will always be taking away other peoples' share, just like any boss who makes the majority of the money while the workers do most of the work. Strano says if we believe that we live in a world where oppression exists, it must be those who are oppressed who are at the forefront of the struggle. He says the members of the library are definitely interested in interacting with students, but they try and spend more time with people who will be a lasting part of the community — people who don't have as many resources.
The library has no organizer says Vanessa Hays, Topeka senior, sitting next to Katy Andrus, a collective member working her shift at the library. Hays says a collective of anywhere from five to 15 members who all have an equal vote makes decisions. Members volunteer to work three hours in the library or be part of a group in charge of activities such as managing the collection, or events and fundraising. "The collective is anti-authoritarian," says Hays, "everyone helps make decisions."
Andrus stops reading from her notebook to interject. While pointing at different sections of literature, Andrus says the library has something for everyone. The battered spines of random books are tattooed with smudged and torn used stickers from KU bookstores. Hays says a lot of people are surprised to see that the library has so many course books. She says the literature at the library helps people to see another side of things.
Used books are not the only link between the University and the library. Chris White, a graduate teaching assistant in history at the University, conducts an anarchist study group, which resumed Aug. 24. Another University group involved with the library is the before-mentioned Students for an Egalitarian society. The library is also a meeting place for the Lawrence chapter of the Industrial Workers of the World labor union; the Anarchist Black Cross, a prisoner advocacy group; and a women's health discussion group. Hays says an important part of the library is to provide a safe, non-judgmental venue for classes, workshops, bands and even puppet shows.
On a calendar across from Hays and Andrus stands a naked man posing to mimic the John Brown painting in the capitol building in Topeka. The Anarchists Exposed calendar is one of the library's fundraising efforts. The group periodically sets up tables to sell books, 'zines, pins and stickers. Sometimes the anarchists collect donations while hosting small concerts or poetry readings. The library also has a list of supporters who donate money monthly, and visitors are encouraged to add to the change jar. Above the library Strano and Matt Ridgway, another collective member, screen-print T-shirts to sell. All of the members at Solidarity! do what they can to make the library a possibility. Strano says he wants students to see the library as a place to express their political views and talk about how to change the world.

K
Stephen Kroeker
Overland Park
sophomore
Where is the worst public restroom you've ever visited?
Nunez: "A truck stop in Texas."
Kroeker: "A.C.'s Garage in West-
port. It was really gross. I don't think
it's in business anymore."
When was the last time you peed yourself or wet the bed?
Nunez: "On a fieldtrip in kindergarten at the zoo. I sat on a bench all day."
Kroeker: "I don't think I've ever peed myself or wet the bed. But I did throw up on myself two weeks ago."
What's the most embarrassing article of clothing you've ever owned?
Nunez: "I used to wear some black parachute pants back in the '80s with a leopard shirt...I guess its not in style anymore."
Kroker "Maybe a Stussy sweatshirt."
What was your favorite meal as a child?
Nunez: "Arroz y frijoles."
Kroeker: "Macaroni and cheese."
What superpower would you want, and with said superpower, which superhero's ass would you kick?
Nunez:"Muscles of steel like Superman and I would take out Spiderman because I find him annoying."
Krooker: "Any superpower so that I could kick He-Man's ass, so then I could hook up with She-Ra."

Q
[Kind of like how John Cougar says "hurts so good." Fire crotches burn. Nicely.]
I have red pubic hair, but the rest of the hair on my body is brown. Whenever I get physical with someone, I get the impression that they're uncomfortable with the red. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Kelly, sophomore.
a
Jessi: I think this confirms that the carpet doesn't always match the curtains. You have what is commonly referred to as "fire crotch". I suggest you not pull a Samantha (Sex and the City) and dye your pubes because you're bound to get some unforeseen hue. If you detect discomfort in your partner, just shrug it off or "blow" them away with your sexual expertise. If you continue to be uncomfortable, there is always the option of a Brazilian wax.
Chris: Shave.
Q
So, what's the deal with these cock rings?
Lil Johnny, freshman
a
Jessi: Cock rings are "ponytail holders" for your dick. Basically, they are extra-durable rubber bands you place on the base of your penis to restrict blood flow, helping you to maintain the longest erection of your life. Ouch...
**Chris:** Well, thanks Jessi, for giving everyone the skinny on cock rings. Also, you probably shouldn't wear one for too long or it'll turn black and fall off. (I'm only guessing.)
Q
I've been having sex with a girl that lives on my floor and I don't really want to have a relationship with her, but we keep meeting up late at night and doing it. How can I keep getting laid but avoid a serious relationship?
-Steven, freshman
a
Jessi: At least you're honest with yourself, but now you need to be honest with her. Make your intentions clear ASAP. Be direct, but gentle. If your intentions don't coincide, find another bed buddy who's after the same kind of fling and protect yourselves.
Chris: She lives on your floor? How can you avoid a serious relationship if you have to keep stepping over her to get to the bathroom? Tell her to get her own place! Seriously though, when two friends are having sex on a regular basis, someone will always get attached and hope it'll lead to a relationship. You need to tell her right now that you're in it for the sex and nothing else. You don't want to end up breaking her heart

With freshmen coming in and seniors going out, long-distance relationships are just a part of life for college students.
Love
long-distance style

Jayplay writer

While probably not what any of us envision as the ideal relationship, long-distance love has a way of catching up with us college students — like rashes or other things we try to avoid but inexplicably can't. I don't doubt that there are some out there who genuinely wish for a long-distance relationship, and I'm thinking of sadeyed men whose girlfriends carry them around like accessories in tote bags. But for the most part, couples want to be together. They want to go out to Free State for a beer on a Thursday night or cozy up on the couch for a movie. They don't want their contact to be limited to night-and-weekend minutes and once-a-month trips to see each other for a frantic few days.
Yet, long-distance relationships are as much a part of college as final exams. Greg Guildner, director of the Californiabased Center for the Study of Long-Distance Relationships, says that research shows more than a quarter of college students nationwide are in a long-distance relationship, and nearly 80 percent will be in one before they graduate.
Those figures might seem surprising against what many see as the instant-gratification mentality of college students-i.e. short attention spans, big hormones, etc.-but the transitional essence of college is
what makes those numbers possible. Francis DeSalvo, director of the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) program at the University of Kansas, describes two main types of college long-distance relationships: high school
month, and for lost, forlorn freshmen to start seeking out the counseling center.
Though these two different types of relationships have different problems, there are some general strategies that all long-distance couples can use to strengthen themselves. The biggest involves simple openness. "Keep it real," DeSalvo stresses. Many long-distance couples, he

sweethearts and departing graduates. He says he sees students come in with problems stemming from these relationships.
For the high school sweethearts, issues include feelings of loneliness and missing out on college. DeSalvo says for this year, he expects the first wave of breakup-announcing "Dear John" letters to hit in about a

long distance explains, are afraid to fight because they think it's harder to reconcile, but fighting is an important part of moving relationships forward. DeSalvo says the counseling center tries to push students to ask themselves "what they want out of a relationship and if the current arrangement is meeting those
needs." In most cases, he says, it's the couples with the strongest pre-distance foundations that have the best chance of making the relationship work.
Of course, there are exceptions. Garnett senior Holly Benjamin and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Bill
Reeder have kept their relationship going for nearly four years despite the fact that they have lived in different towns for pretty much the entire time.
Benjamin says communication is what has allowed the relationship to survive. She and Reeder use every tool at their disposal — phone, IM and e-mail — to stay in
touch daily. The pair's unrelenting trust in each other also helps in an environment where it would be easy to succumb to suspicion and jealousy.
Nevertheless, Benjamin and Reeder will face perhaps their greatest test in a few weeks when Reeder, who serves in the National Guard, is slated to head to Iraq for a possible two-year deployment. Benjamin says she remembers when Reeder drove down to Lawrence to tell her that he'd been put on alert, and afterwards, she couldn't stop crying. Since then, they've had some time to get used to the idea, but of course it's going to be a long haul, Reeder says. "I hate to put her in a situation where she's waiting for me. But, she's more than happy to wait." Right now, the couple is approaching the matter with a stoic acceptance and confidence that things will work.
When long-distance relationships don't work, they fail for a variety of reasons - lack of trust, lack of communication - and sometimes lack of cash, as Leawood junior Rachel Cloud found out when she
attempted a relationship with someone who lived in Chile. Cloud was a high school exchange student in Chile for nine months, during which she began dating another student there. The two had all the desire in the world to keep their relationship going after she got back to the United States, but with college looming and expensive plane tickets their only option for seeing each other, they eventually decided to call it off.
Unfortunately, most college long-distance relationships go the way of Cloud's and don't work out, although relationship expert Gulder says they don't fail any more often than their conventional counterparts. Long-distance couples also don't cheat more than other couples, and they actually report greater sexual satisfaction. So, if you're in a long-distance relationship, don't despair. Gulder says it's important to think positive and stay connected to your partner's day-to-day life. Most of all, he says, people need to remember that "this is a viable way of having a relationship."

Ever wonder what not to do in a relationship?
A couple of things are given like lying or cheating, but what about snoping? Where is the line drawn? Brittany Murphy gives the perfect example of a new relationship destroyed by sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong: the
past. Her performance in "Little Black Book" is a must get see for couples who may have hidden secrets in their past. It shows what happens without trust and a little black book. It is playing at all movie theaters throughout the weekend at varying times.
He said she said "I'm fine."
If you're a guy, chances are you've heard this from a girl at one time or another, and if you're a girl, well, you've probably said it. Sometimes it means what it implies.
More often, it means, "I’m pissed,
and I want you to figure out why.
Essentially, it's an argument ender, but guys who take this to mean everything's cool do so at their peril. Topeka sophomore Natalie McAllister says when she utters the deceptive phrase, "it means I'm definitely not fine, and something needs to be done."
Luckily, her boyfriend, Topeka junior Justin Montgomery, is a receptive guy and recognizes the doghouse when he's in it. "I have to
try and investigate," he says. "First I turn the eye on me."
And usually, guys, it is us. Let's face it, if we're good at anything, it's pissing off our significant others - so be smart and realize she's not fine even when she says she is, and admit you're wrong even if maybe you're not.
mapes you to know
Oh - and when a guy says he's fine?
Montgomery shrugs as if the answer is obvious.

Just Another Day of Heavy Distraction
Erratic, impulsive yet determined: it's the mantra for an average student with a not-so-average disorder.
H
by Megan Claus, Jayplay writer
Hair wet and towel-clad, Nicole stands at the edge of the front doorstep, waves her friends goodbye after confirming the evening plans and quickly runs barefoot back into her room. At 10:30 p.m., Nicole's roommates are out the door for the night. It will be midnight before she is finished getting ready and heading out to meet them.
She tells herself to focus. But in the meantime, the blaring television in the next room draws her into the final scenes of Bruce Almighty. She stands there, tapping her mascara wand in the air to the beat of something she's humming to herself, barely engaged with the flick and talking about her inability to focus on one thing at a time. "We'll be talking about the rain and the next thing you know, I'll be like, look at my tennis shoes." The faint ring of her cell phone captures her attention. Eyes wide, mind a blur, she appears moving her head from side to side trying to decide what to do next. It's time to head back into her room to perform a strip search to recover the missing phone. Noticing the heaping pile of clothes that failed to satisfy her evening look, she stops to rethink what she's doing now. "This place is such a mess." She clears a few tops off her bed, folds them and discovers her phone. She notices a missed phone call and then remembers that she was just on a rampage to find the phone. Sighing, she tries to recall what she was going to do next. She glimpses at the clock, it is now 11:15 p.m. and she feels a sting of panic. Running her fingers through her damp brown hair, she moves for the hairdryer and abruptly stops short. She needs to find her mascara first. Realizing she's in a whirlwind of unfinished tasks, she falls to her bed for a moment to rethink how she is going to finish in time to meet her friends.
Many adults with ADHD have trouble following conversations, remembering job assignments, organizing and are prone to procrastination, according to the American Journal of Psychiatry. They also have more secondary problems like low self-esteem and anxiety.
Nicole Naifeh, Oklahoma City senior has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
low self esteem and anxiety There are several types of ADHD. Naifeh has a form that has predominant

- hyperactive type of ADHD is more prominent in boys (Dr. Linda Keeler, M.D., psychiatrist for counseling and psychological services.)

show a hyperactive component. "What we know is that for adults with this problem, as they grow up, sometimes the hyperactivity component may drop out of the picture but the inattentiveness still may persist," Dr. Keeler said.
Keeler says that some students might have had a mild form of inattentiveness in childhood. Once they arrive at college, a different level of attention is required. Sometimes students display symptoms of ADHD and do not know they have the disorder. Such symptoms include making careless mistakes in school or work, talking incessantly, blurting out answers or difficulties organizing tasks.
Although earlier signs indicated she had a problem, Naifeh wasn't diagnosed until high school. In the sixth grade, Naifeh's classroom featured a wall where outlandish quotes from students were posted. "I owned that wall, I dominated it,"
Naifeh began receiving erratic grades during her first two years of high school. Tests confirmed the disorder just before her junior year. Despite the fact that Naifeh's school had never dealt with learning disabilities before, she says she refused to switch to a school that did.
refused to switch to swiffer "I'd known all these kids forever. I loved my friends, I wasn't going anywhere," she says. "All it takes is for someone to believe that you are capable."
She faced additional pressure because her high school had never provided programs for students with learning disabilities before her. The school allowed her extra time for tests, tutors and extensions. These allowances raised her grades and brought back her confidence.

She considered the University of Denver, a school highly specialized in programs for students with learning disabilities. But despite the advice not to, Naifeh ultimately chose KU because it was closer to home
ADHD affects learning and behavior in approximately 2%-5% of the school population.
At KU, Naifeh sought help through the programs offered for students with disabilities, but she had to learn her own ways to overcome her learning disability.

understands it. She has also used books on tape that were provided by SSD.
Naifeh displays a textbook she used for a behavioral class last semester. Every page looks like a painter's work of art. She uses different pens and colors to underline or highlight as she studies and calls it "her own language."
Socially, life with ADHD is another obstacle to overcome. Not only does Naifeh face scholastic difficulties, but she also has to make her friends aware of her disability.
Naifeh's college friends and roommates
have experienced her disorder firsthand. Her roommate, Hilliary Sherwood, Independence senior, describes a situation when Naifeh was driving, became distracted and lost track of where she was going. She forgot where she was driving and drove the opposite direction of home, Sherwood says.
She does have friends who can relate. Friend, Craig Parker, St. Louis senior, has ADHD as well. Parker and Naifeh went to the Wakarusa music festival together in June, and he says the ADHD took over.
Naifeh stopped using the educational services and took complete control on her own.
With a year left in school, it's been nearly a year and a half since she's visited Supportive Education Services. After much tutoring and advice, she has realized she does not need the assistance anymore. She does not want her disability to be viewed as a vulnerable weakness, but as something that empowers her.
"She kept stressing out, and freaking out and thought she had so much to do," Parker says. "I had to keep telling her that it would be okay."
"The good things that have come of the college experience at KU are a part of my own maturing and learning about what I have to do to succeed," Naifeh says. "I've learned to not compare myself to any other person."
Her friends recognize her drive to succeed on her own, too. Both Sherwood and Parker describe her as a motivated student, with the occasional setbacks.
Naifeh feels fortunate her friends have learned to live with her differences and accept it. Sometimes she feels like she has
Sherwood says it takes Naifeh nearly an hour and a half to do an assignment that could be done in thirty minutes.
"Sometimes she'll focus everything into one class that she likes. That is part of her problem, it's hard for her to focus on a lot of things at once," Sherwood says. "She's smart, she's definitely smart. It just takes her a lot longer."

Six years after being diagnosed with ADHD, Naifeh says she's proud of how far she's excelled.
Naifeh credits all the resources at KU for helping her make it through school. She says those with the disorder who don't seek help do so because they're ashamed.
"They look at it as a weakness," she says. "It doesn't have to be a weakness."
Naifeh's found positive ways to understand her ADHD.
"There's no damage done, it just means you've got to do something different," says Naifeh. "And
that's not a problem, who wants to be the same as everyone else? Where's the fun in that? There's perks to every situation. It's not like we deal the cards, we just play them."
If you think you might have a learning disorder, Dr. Keeler recommends making arrangements to have your symptoms assessed. Students can contact counseling and psychological services, 864-2277. You can meet with a health professional who will evaluate your symptoms and history. There is no charge for the first visit.

Limerance Desterilizing the West Side by Chris Crawford, Jayplay writer
---
Matt Baum, owner of Limerance, said he wanted to bar to be mellow. "One of the reasons I opened this place is because when I went out I never could find anywhere to sit down," he said.
When I first saw the sign for Limerance, located in the strip mall at 15<sup>th</sup> and Wakarusa, I thought it read "Limericks." I figured for a couple bucks a leprechaun would administer a questionnaire and then write a rhyming ditty about you. Inside, you actually find an eclectic downtown lounge dropped in the middle of sterile West Lawrence.
sterile West Lawrence. The room is dark - lit candles cover the bar. The acoustic stylings of Arthur Dodge play over the speakers. Local artist David Quinn's work adorns the deep red walls. A couple coos over wine at the bar. Three older gentlemen sit at a table, made from a Singer sewing machine, reliving the glory days of college debauchery. A cute brunette pokes at the Megatouch name screen. Mellow

game screen. Mellow oozes out of this place, and that's exactly what owner Matt Baum wants. "It's not supposed to be super, super busy," says Baum. "One of the reasons I opened this place is because when I went out I never could find anywhere to sit down."
Limerance opened two months ago and draws a crowd in the morning as well as at night. Open 8 a.m.to 2 a.m., Limerance offers a variety of coffee drinks as well as cocktails, wine and beer (selection will rotate periodically). Baum says the heaviest traffic comes in for coffee in the morning. Students usually come in during the day and sit down with a book or take advantage of the wireless Internet service.
The back room puts the lounge in the lounge. A couple of leather couches accommodate players waiting to shoot free pool or darts. The free pool is one of the features that drew Paige Harmon, Tulsa, Oklahoma senior to the lounge. Harmon also comes to Limerance because she likes the employees,the combination of coffee and liquor in one spot and the clean bathroom. (Who doesn't love a spic-and-span potty?) But her favorite offering is the Friday tasting event.
Limerance offers a different tasting every Friday night for $10. Patrons can wet their beaks with beer, wine, sake and tequila tastings. Bar manager Mechell Moore says the flexibility of the lounge makes it unique. She says it can be a sleek coffee shop, a romantic date destination or a place to hang out with friends. At the other end of the strip mall, Tanner's Bar and Grill manager Susan Wood doesn't see Limerance as direct competition. Wood says the two watering holes are both good spots to drink in. She added that Tanner's carries mainly domestic beers and basic imports; Limerance carries more than 40 beers and wines. Such a peaceful name (See sidebar, below) and laid-back lounge came from an unusual source.
back lounge came from an unusual source. The six-foot, 220 pound Baum hides his intensity behind his glasses and soft speech. The 1998 grad gained an undisclosed reputation as the manager of Louise's Downtown for seven years and bartended for 12. But after moving to Atlanta for a print advertising job he grew to detest, he tried out for the World Championship Wrestling squad. At the conclusion of a rigorous ass-kicking trial, Baum was one of the few left standing. And for two years, Baum tagged in to get whooped byWCW superstars including Raven and Scott Steiner. "I got up everyday to be a superhero," says Baum. "I wasn't a part of reality. The bar is like that by creating atmosphere no different than theater or wrestling." And that's what Baum wants every customer to enjoy: an escape from everyday life, an escape from the suburbs and an escape from school.
What's in a name?
The name Limerance, which can't be found in most dictionaries, comes from a book that Baum read in a KU writing class. In the book, Love and Limerance by Dorothy Tennov, limerance is described as "the psychological state characterized by deep, addictive infatuation that humans fall into upon 'falling in love.'"

How to look like you have a clue on the dance floor
You probably wouldn't know it to look at them, but Lawrence is filled with people who have chorophobia. You may even be one of them. Chorophobics are wallflowers, bathroom lurkers and table holders. Chorophobia is the persistent fear of dancing. It keeps perfectly normal people from trying to dance and usually causes feelings of anxiety and isolation. "I don't want to display my uncoordinated self in front of others," says Brad Youse, Topeka senior.
others, says Brad Voleu. But there's no need to suffer. Everyone can dance, even if we feel stupid doing it.
Attitude
Attitude To feel comfortable on the dance floor, skill may be preferred but attitude is a requirement. Dancers and instructors alike agree that the way you approach a dancing situation is key. Do whatever it
takes to get in a positive frame of mind. Very few people just don't have any rhythm, says Bridget Janner, dance instructor for Camelot Ballroom II, 1117 Massachusetts St. Janner recommends thinking of dancing as exercise. And if it will loosen you up, have a drink. Watch

Press Appropriately
Don't set yourself up for failure. Janner
You don't have to be unique. Cathy Jarzemkoski, former dancer and KU spirit squad and dance team coordinator, suggests paying attention to what others are doing. If you watch MTV, BET or VH1, take notice of the dancers in music videos for ideas. And though you'll probably feel ridiculous doing it, you can always watch yourself in a mirror sometime.
Dress Appropriately
emphasizes wearing leather-soled shoes that won't slip. You'll be able to move better and you'll look more relaxed. Also wear comfortable clothes that won't make you look even more awkward when you dance.
Move
Move Don't just stand around nodding your head or flapping your arms. Move your feet. "Keep it simple, keep it stupid," Jarzemkoski says. She suggests following the beat of the music and moving your feet from side to side. Avoid overdone or complicated movement and keep your knees bent. Don't do hip-hop right away because it requires more coordination. Jarzemkoski also says women shouldn't try to be too sexy or sultry until they are very comfortable dancers.
Practice
Practice The only way to feel truly comfortable dancing is to do it often enough that you don't feel inexperienced. Dance with your friends at a gathering that is small enough to ensure your comfort, but large enough that you don't feel like everyone is looking at you. Women are more likely to dance in groups, so guys may want to practice in front of a mirror.
Despite this advice, many people still fear dancing. But it may help to think of it the way Charley Forsythe, Anthony sophomore, does: "You can wiggle around like you don't care or you can hide in the bathroom." And given those options, dancing really has to be preferable.

How to make a clean getaway from from a lovesick friend
So you're out at the bars with your guy friend Sam. It's been a whole summer vacation since you've hit the town in Lawrence and better yet, you're on the prowl. Just when you make eye contact with that cute sandy-blonde across the way, your friend Sam unveils something horridly awkward. He's secretly loved you since
you first met in the cereal line at the dining hall freshman year. You flash a regretful grin, but admit you were just crushing on the mysterious smile across the way. The next thing you know, Sam feels a bit queasy. Before you can make way toward your hottie, Sam is losing his fried pickle nachos supreme in your handbag!
Oh that's just great, now what? Ditch your dishonest Sam and hit the nearest powder room — you mustn't miss this chance with Noah Wyle look-alike over there. Forget the line, most single chicas would understand. Turn that bag inside out and empty your bag o' lime green chunks in the trash. Forget about the nail file and lipstick, you can
replace those easier than a once-a-semester conversation with sexy J. Doe from across the bar. Rinse and wipe. Revert to original form and line the inside with a paper towel for the rest of the evening. Don't forget to wipe off your ID you'll need it when you and handsome hit up the next bar together.

Do your new apartment's refrigerator smell a little funky? Take everything out of it and wipe the entire inside with a mixture of water and baking soda. Then soak a paper towel in vanilla extract and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day your refrigerator should smell fresh.

The Girl Next Door ★★★ Unrated,
110 minutes, available to rent now
The Girl Next Door follows in the tradition of movies such as Old School and American Pie by releasing an unrated version on DVD. While an unrated movie about a high school senior who falls for a porn star who moves in next door seems like it would be racy and dirty, the film is actually consistently funny and displays genuine sweetness.
Matt (Emile Hirsch) has just been accepted to Georgetown and is about to graduate from high school, and regrets he has never done anything exciting with his life. He meets Danielle, the girl next door, played by the beautiful Elisha Cuthbert of 24, who inspires him to get a little crazy every once in a while. The plot is standard and resembles *Risky Business*
in its basic premise, but is a raunchier update of the '80s Tom Cruise classic.
Hirsch and Cuthbert feed well off of each other, but their chemistry is lacking. It's obvious to see how someone such as Danielle would appeal to Matt, but we never really know what Danielle sees in Matt other than she says he makes her feel normal. Cuthbert has the beautiful girl, object of my affection role down pat, and Hirsch's Matt is charming in his innocence. Timothy Olyphant (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton) practically steals the movie as a sleazy but charming porn producer. His character Kelly has a grin to rival that of the Cheshire Cat and brings laughs to almost every scene he's in.
This unrated version does have more breasts than the theatrical version, which of course add nothing to the film. Director Luke Greenfield provides commentary for the feature-length film, as do Cuthbert and Hirsch for specific scenes. Apart from the standard making-ofs and deleted scenes, the DVD also has a trivia track The Girl Next Door is not a great comedy, but it has enough laughs to make it worth renting.

Hero(★★★)
PG-13, 99 minutes, South Wind 12
Rarely does a film come along where the beauty it is so astonishing it is difficult to concentrate on anything else. Alas such a film xists and it exists in Hero. Director Zhang Yimou and his team of production designers have created something truly beautiful. Warriors soar through the air, cloths billow beautifully in the wind, colors pop off the screen, and all this is wrapped in a pretty package complete with a story filled with war, love and revenge.
The warrior with no name — or Nameless (Jet Li) — has sliced his way through the king's assassins to get some face time with the king. As he tells his tale of battles fought, the film delves into Chinese lore, telling a story of how the first emperor was made. Nameless' path to the king is paved with meetings between himself and three other warriors of equal skill. Sky (Donnie Yen), Broken Sword (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Flying Snow (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) are all equal opponents to our hero, but as the film continues, it is
B
revealed that Nameless' story is more complicated than it may have seemed.
Visually the film has no match. The grace of the fight scenes is only eclipsed by the sweeping cinematography and an eye-popping color scheme. The quality of the film lies in its visuals, putting the narrative a close second. The storyline tries to stay veiled under a simpleton shroud but underneath the plot gets contorted and keeps the audience guessing. True, the visuals are the star, but the actors give the depth needed to such a story, and boy can they fight.

Head Automatica Decadence
Decadence If anything, celebrated producer Dan "The Automator" Nakamura has fashioned a career off being the funny fat kid that somehow always gets invited to the hottest parties. Beginning with his initial collaboration with Kool Keith on 1996's Dr. Octagon, he has helmed unconventional concept albums with hipster figures across the spectrum from Damon Albarn of Blur (Gorillaz) and DJ Shadow (Bombay the Hard Way) to Prince Paul (Handsome Boy Modeling School). It was out of character then for him to roll with a hipster as Daryl Palumbo, front man of middling hardcore act Glassjaw. Palumbo has
been harboring his own "hip and cool" project, Head Automatica, for some time and performed a major coup in landing Nakamura as a producer.
Nakamura as a producer.
It's hard to imagine exactly how Palumbo sold label execs on the idea, which reaches limited success despite his efforts to saddle the album with his stilted songwriting skills. Palumbo has been quoted talking up the album as an outlet for the esoteric tastes he's unable to indulge with Glassjaw, but listening to the album, you get the idea that this is his bid to secure invitations to the "cool" parties Nakamura has been frequenting for 10 years.
ical of the ironic humor Palumbo trots out as evidence of his "edgy" persona. Palumbo strikes one as the kind of guy who tries really hard to sound like he's having fun, especially when he's not.
years. Song titles such as "Brooklyn is Burning" and "I Shot William H, Macy" are typhaving fun, especially the In that vein, most of the album features a forgettable combination of So-Cal pop riffs and "cutting edges" break beats. All in all, the Automator does his best to save the proceedings, lacing the mix with enough studio chicanery to get heads bobbing, if not as automatically as all involved would have liked.
If you liked this crap,you should totally check out Handsome Boy Modeling School and Sublime's self titled album. Now that's some good tunes.

Rubber Factory
Rubber Factory Hailing from Akron, Ohio (also hometo cheesy new-wavers Devo), the Black Keys are one of the many garage/punk/blues bands to emerge recently, drawing comparisons to the White Stripes, Von Bondies, et al.

as two people could ever help. As a whole, Rubber Factory is a mix of tribal drums, guitar squalor and wrenched vocals. Tracks like "10 A.M. Automatic" and "Girl Is On My Mind" adhere closely to blues conventions with an added layer of garage grime, though the Black Keys do deviate slightly from this formula in the latter half of the album. "Stack Shot Billy" finds the Keys copping the riff from Moby's "Natural Blues" and then indulging in a wah-freakout, sounding as if Hendrix had sat in on the Derek and the Dominoes sessions. The album's most emotional track, "The Lengths," is a successful attempt at a slow blues serenade complete with finger picking, heartache and a weeping slide guitar.
heartache and a weeping sings get on there There are few surprises on Rubber Factory — just straight ahead Akron blues. Alongside current Detroit bands like Ko & the Knockouts and the Soledad Brothers, the Black Keys are today's emissaries of a timeless branch of music. It seems like the band were called to play the blues, and it plays it well.

On the Road Again Life won't wait for fear of driving
By Jessica Massey, Jayplay writer Illustration by Scott Drummond
The wind is whipping through my hair and I am taking the curve on highway 59 10 miles over the recommended speed limit, but it feels good — it feels like freedom. Two years ago, I couldn't imagine feeling this way. Driving was my biggest fear and my prison.
At the age when everyone else around me was eagerly learning how to maneuver their parents' 1989 Oldsmobile out of the

in time, so I would start hitting the break a mile away from the stoplight. But after I got over my initial panic, I was surprised how much I loved driving. Sometimes I'd go to the grocery store at 11 p.m., just because I could. I was able to do things myself for the first time in my

It wasn't the first time one of my family members had been in a car accident. When I was eight, two of my brother's ended up in the hospital with more stitches and wounds than I care to remember. At the time, I couldn't comprehend the meaning of the words "hit
I didn't understand the repercussions two years' later, when an accident pitched my brother's truck down a hill and left his friend in a coma, which claimed his life.

I knew it would be difficult for me to find someone with the exact schedule as me without becoming my personal chauffeur. I realized that I needed to face my fears and quit living in a protective bubble.
Re-learning to drive was a hard step. I felt like a novice who was unsure if the car was aligned properly in the driving lane or was afraid the car wouldn't stop
I still think about the fact that a car accident can claim a life far faster than I could finish writing this sentence. Along
highway 59, I pass small, white wooden crosses stuck in the grass on the side of the road. Someone died at each of these marks. A car accident consumed their lives — it makes me slow down and respect my little Jeep's power.
Instead of choosing to be afraid, I chose to remember and learn, and take my freedom.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW
History repeats itself; Nebraska favored to win
BY JONATHAN KEALING AND RYAN COLAIANNI sports@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITHTERS
Kansas comes into Saturday's contest at Nebraska with two streaks: two consecutive losses on the season, and 35 consecutive losses to the Cornhuskers. The Jayhawks desperately need a win this week if they wish to get their season back on track and reach their goal of going to a bowl game. It won't be easy. Kansas will face a tough Nebraska defense ranked sixth nationally and first in the Big 12. The Jayhawks have struggled with running the football the past two games and will face Nebraska's top rushing defense in the nation, giving up just 41.3 yards rushing per game. The Blackshirts — Nebraska's defenders — are also good at defending the pass with eight interceptions this season. Look for this game to be a defensive battle, but with the hostile environment and Kansas' losing history
history against the
team, Nebraska will win this football game.

Quarterback
attack.
Cormhusker fans have criticized sophomore quarterback Joe Dailey throughout this season. Dailey has thrown for 562 yards with seven touchdowns this season. He has not been particularly accurate, completing just 51 percent of his passes with eight interceptions in three games. Dailey also does not have the arm strength to throw the ball deep, but it is what Dailey can do on his feet that is impressive. He has three rushing touchdowns and is averaging more than four yards per carry. Kansas quarterback Adam Barmann has a different style. Barmann has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards in four games, including four touchdowns in the past two games. Unlike Dailey, Barmann has the arm to challenge a team's secondary. Barmann is not as mobile as Dailey, averaging 2.4 yards per carry. With Barmann's strength and his accuracy, the edge goes to Barmann.
Edge: Kansas
Wide Receiver and Tight End
Nebraska junior tight end Matt Herian leads the team in receptions with 195 yards including three touchdowns. The West Coast offense that coach Bill Callahan instituted has helped improve Herian's production. Nebraska has only one other player with more than 100 receiving yards for the season. Kansas has four receivers with more than 100 yards receiving including Brandon Rideau, who has 233 yards on 23 catches with four touchdowns. With Nebraska's strong secondary, the Kansas wide receivers may have a difficult time getting open. But because Nebraska has a difficult time throwing the ball deep, the Kansas wide outs get the edge.
Edge: Kansas
Edge: Kansas
Running Backs
If there is one thing that can be cited as a cause of both Jayhawk losses, it would be an absent running game. While Kansas has talented backs, such as sophomore John Randle, the offensive line has been unable to open up holes. Nebraska is a team known for running the football and using up time. With junior I-back Cory Ross averaging over 122 yards per game, Nebraska should dominate this category. Edge: Nebraska
Mark Simmons
Offensive Line
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC. 842-8665 2858 Four Wheel Dr.
Three starters were supposed to return to Nebraska's offensive line, including junior Richie Incognito, preseason All-Big 12. After an altercation and "repeated violations of team policies," coach Bill Callahan dismissed Incognito. Even with Incognito gone, Nebraska's line is still
head-and-shoulders above Kansas'. This week, coach Mark Mangino announced that he was going to try and implement a line rotation. With Kansas' offensive line, the answer may be quantity over quality. Edge: Nebraska
20
The Kansas secondary was impressive last week despite giving up more than 300 yards passing. The Jayhawks have intercepted eight passes this season, including two by senior safety Tony Stubbs. Stubbs is the anchor of the unit, ranking second on the team in tackles with 34. With Dailey's lack of arm strength, look for the secondary to push forward and have a large role in stopping the run. Nebraska also has eight interceptions and has converted turnovers into 31 points. It is led by All-American junior Josh Bullocks. Bullocks had 10 interceptions last season and has one pick this season. The Nebraska secondary is one of the best in the nation, allowing less than 200 passing yards per game. The Nebraska secondary should be a challenge for Barmann and the Kansas wide receivers.
Edge: Nebraska
The Nebraska defensive line has been clogging up holes the entire season, giving up just more than 41 rushing yards. The unit also has eleven sacks for the season. Three 'Huskers have recorded two sacks this year. With the Kansas offensive line struggling, the Nebraska defensive line will be overpowering. Kansas will once again have a difficult time running the football. The Kansas defensive line has improved this year with 10 recorded sacks. But the past two weeks Kansas has allowed running backs to rush for more than 100 yards. The Nebraska running attack is good and should be successful against Kansas' defensive line.

Special Teams
Kansas' special teams have had a split personality. The coverage and returns teams have done well, however the kicking has been abysmal. Kansas is 4-10 on field goal attempts this season. Nebraska is 2-2. On kickoffs, Nebraska is averaging 23.3 yards per return while Kansas is averaging 27.1. Punt returns tip
slightly in Nebraska' favor. With all else being equal, Kansas' inept kicking game tosses this category to the other team.
Edge: Nebraska
Coaches
Only five coaches have taken NFL teams to the Super Bowl and then left the pros to return to the college level. While Bill Callahan's departure from the professional game wasn't exactly voluntary, the experience he garnered there was immeasurable. No knock on Mangino, but it's hard to match up against a coach who has coached at every level of football and has played in the Super Bowl.

More than 30 men struck a pose for the camera last week for the University of Kansas' first all-male calendar.
The Delta Gamma sorority selected 37 men to grace its "Men of KU" calendar. The men will be spread over 12 months for sure, with a possible 13th month being added, said Jaimie Johnson, Lincoln, Neb., junior, and vice president for Foundation at Delta Gamma. The variety of the men selected range from fraternity members, students strongly involved in organizations and a few athletes, she said.
The applicants included those involved in music, engineering, business finance and athletics, specifically those on the track and field, baseball and football teams.
"It was definitely worth it," Johnson said. "All the hard work so far has paid off. It's good just knowing they are being honored for their community involvement."

Suspects sought for false alarms
CrimeStoppers offers rewards for information leading to McCollum alarm culprits

The Department of Student Housing is working with the University of Kansas Public Safety Office to find the person or persons involved in four false fire alarm pulls in McCollum Hall last week.
week. The KU Public Safety Office issued a report through CrimeStoppers for the criminal fire pulls, and Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety, said the program is one of the tools the departments are using in the ongoing investigation.
Cash could be awarded to students who call CrimeStoppers, 864-8888, with information regarding the crimes. Bailey said it would be up to a CrimeStoppers board to determine how much an informant would receive
No calls have been made to CrimeStoppers yet, but Bailey said he wasn't discouraged.

departments are collecting information in other ways.
Since the increase of false fire alarms, McCollum Hall has increased security rounds throughout the residence hall.
McCollum has had about 11 fire alarms since the semester began, which averages to more than one per week.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said at least eight of those were pulled alarms. The other alarms were legitimate responses for the alarm. One, for example, was set off by smoke from burnt popcorn.
Bailey said that number is not far off past averages.
Stoner said the proximity of the recent alarms is causing concern for students, teachers and parents concern.

Andy Marso, St. Cloud, Minn., lost all of his fingers and one thumb in his struggle with bacterial meningitis. He has been out of the hospital for more than two weeks and is in physical therapy to become more independent and recover his range of motions. He said he didn't want to be the source of so much attention because he is just going through what he has to. He said he wants college students to realize the serious threat that meningitis poses.

Police still looking for McCollum rape suspect
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
It has been a week since an 18-year-old female KU student reported to authorities that she was raped. And the suspect still hasn't been located.
suspect and has been identified The University of Kansas Public Safety Office has a partial identification of the suspect and has been looking for him since the rape was reported about noon on Friday.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, University of Kansas Public Safety Office, said they have been busy collecting information since the rape was reported.
since the rapa was reported "Part of the reason it's taking a while is there were a lot of people at the party," he said. "We're interviewing all of them so we can get an ID on the suspect."
She told officials the rape happened after people left a gathering that earlier had taken place there.
The reported rape happened sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning in a room in McCollum Hall, the female student told KU public safety officers.
Whether the suspect is located does not guarantee an arrest.
This is because cases usually do not have enough evidence to prove without reasonable doubt that a rape actually occurred, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Recourse Center.
Nationally, only 39 percent of raps are reported to police, and of those, only 50 percent result in arrests, according to Rape Abuse and Incest National Network's web site, www.ratnw.org.
A lot of times, rape victims feel the need to shower and clean up after they are assaulted which destroys evidence, Rose-Mockry said.
Collecting evidence can be even harder when there is alcohol involved, she said, as the details of the crime can become hazy.
Bailey said both the female student and the suspect had consumed alcohol either during or before the gathering in McCollum. He said he would never blame a rape on alcohol consumption, but said a person's risk of victimization increases when alcohol is involved.
She suggests victims fight that urge and place any clothing or any other associated item in a paper bag, instead of using a plastic bag. Plastic bags can cause moisture to condense and ruin evidence.
Statistically, at least 75 percent of rapes involve alcohol consumption, said Jerilyn Smith, director of survivor service at the GaDoGl SafeCenter, 2518 Ridge Ct. 202 said. In her personal experience; she said about 90 percent of rapes involve alcohol.
The Kansas statute on rape states that persons influenced by alcohol or any other chemical cannot legally consent to sexual intercourse. Therefore, a rape could be constituted if a person is drunk when intercourse is initiated.
Not only does alcohol inhibit decision-making abilities, but it also gives prosecuting attorneys leverage in a case if one ever materializes, Rose-Mocky said.
The GaDoGi SafeCenter offers legal and counselling assistance to students who have been raped.
Rose-Mockry suggests that rape victims talk to someone, whether it be at the GaDoGi survivor center, the Emily Taylor Center or Counseling and Psychological Services in Watkins Health Center.

Statue of Liberty hosts party
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
100th anniversary celebration honors statue's French sculptor
NEW YORK — Merci beaucoup,
Frederic.
The Statue of Liberty hosted a party yesterday honoring its creator, sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, for the 100th anniversary of his death.
The ceremony commemorating France's most famous gift to the United States also was a celebration of Franco-American friendship, which degenerated into name-calling and "freedom fries" after France declined to support the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
Richard Riehm, the deputy mayor of Colmar, the city in France's Alsace region where Bartholdi was born, said the Statue of Liberty reminds people of the United States' contribution to liberty worldwide.
"
"In the shadow of Miss Liberty," Riehm said, "we cannot forget what we owe to the American soldiers who gave us back our freedom on two occasions, 1917 and 1944. 60 years

progress. This statue before us became an icon of what we would wish ourselves to be. And it shamed us when our deeds fell so far short of our words."
Bartholdi was born on April 2, 1834, and died of tuberculosis in Paris on Oct. 4, 1904.
The ceremony took place on Liberty Island, where the statue was reopened to visitors two months ago after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks forced it to close.
ago."
"When the people of France made their magnificent gift to the United States, it was, in part, a recognition that we had finally abolished slavery," Mayor Joseph O'Neill said.
"But even as the Statue of Liberty was being erected, Jim Crow laws were being enacted to humiliate and disenfranchise the newly freed African slaves.
The mayor of Princeton, N.J., Colmar's sister city, noted that some of the founded fathers who enshrined liberty in the Constitution owned slaves.
"Liberty then was at most a hope, at best a work in progress. This statue before us became an icon of what we would wish ourselves to be. And it shamed us when our deeds fell so far short of our words."
Other Bartholdi works erected in the United States include the Bartholdi Fountain in Washington, D.C., the angelic trumpeters on the corners of the tower of the First Baptist Church in Boston and the Lafayette Statue and the Lafayette and Washington Monument in New York.
Thursday's Jayplay contained an error. The title of the gallery showing in "Finders Keepers," is "A Stranger, Wherever I See 'em."

Is it legal to fish at Potter Lake?
At its largest, it was 18 feet deep and covered 2 acres, and originally used for swimming and regatta boat races. Now it is a dump for the steam heating system on campus, and runs about 12 ft deep.
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.

Glen Campbell awarded Western Heritage Award
LOS ANGELES — Glen Campbell is joining a heavy list of Western heroes.
The Autry National Center is honoring Campbell with its Western Heritage Award for promoting the spirit and legacy of the American West. Past recipients include James Stewart, James Garner, Clint Eastwood, James Arness, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Robert Wagner, Clayton Moore and Gene Autry.
"I'm in some pretty heavy company," said Campbell, 68, noting, "Gene Autry was my hero. Dad would take us to see his movies. Gene Autry was just awesome.
"He was always the good guy, who didn't lie, steal or cheat. He was so considerate of other people. I was glad
to find out that Gene Autry was just like that off the screen."
Campbell served 10 nights in jail for extreme drunken driving earlier this year following an arrest near his posh Phoenix home. His string of hits include "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Galveston," "Gentle on My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."

Rolling Stones rocker defeats cancer, looks to future tours
LONDON — Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has won a battle with throat cancer, lead singer Mick Jagger said.
Watts, 63, was diagnosed with cancer four months ago and recently finished a successful six-week chemotherapy treatment at a London hospital.
"Charlie has had all his treatments and he's now been cleared and is free of any illness," Jagger told the Daily Mirror for Saturday's editions.
The chemotherapy left Watts weak, and he will spend time recovering with his wife, Shirley, before going back to work, the Mirror reported.
The drummer has recently split his time between the Stones and his jazz band, Tentet.
Jagger said he hoped to record new material and schedule a tour in the near future for the Stones.

Civic Literacy Week a success
DebateWatch main attraction of week's events
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Leaders of the Student Legislative Awareness Board called the University's first attempt at a Civic Literacy Week a success.
The week featured visits by local political candidates, voter registration throughout the week and DebateWatch, a program in the Kansas Union to analyze students' reactions to the debate.
The week was sponsored by Student Senate, SLAB, the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics and Lawrence Rock the Vote.
Katie Wolff, Shawnee senior and chairwoman of SLAB, said she thought the event was a success, particularly because this was the first time the event had been held on campus.
"If we continue this tradition on campus, it will only get better," she said. "I was really pleased."
She said SLAB registered about 300 people during the week, bringing its totals to about 2,000.
The most successful event was Thursday's DebateWatch program, she said. Three hundred people went, and they had to turn away people at the door.
Some of the events didn't go quite as well, though.
wednesday's turnout at the noon debate between the KU College Republicans and the KU Young Democrats was only a handful of people.
"We might have tried to plan for too many events," Wolff said.
She also said that the organizations had to cancel the planned Women's Civic Leadership Conference on Saturday because they could not afford the event
because of lack of interest.
Wolff said they would likely reschedule a similar event in the spring when more students would be able to attend.
Mark Lyda, Denver senior and co-director for the Center for Community Outreach, performed with his band Mark Lyda Combo at the concert that kicked off the week.
Lyda helped plan the event, and his two favorite events were the "Inside Baseball" program at the Dole Institute on Tuesday, where a group of people talked about campaign strategy and former presidential candidate Gary Hart's speech on Thursday. He said an event such as this was important.
"We're saying to ourselves it doesn't matter if we vote or not, but it really does," Lyda said. "National polls don't take into account late, huge voter registration drives on college campuses, and they don't call cell phones."
Bryan Behgam, Arlington, Texas, junior, and vice president of the KU Young Democrats, participated in the debate with the College Republicans. He said events like this week were helpful for young people to more fully understand the issues in this election year.
"Politicians aren't targeting us as a group because we're not voting. Hopefully they will start noticing us," he said.
Wolff said that the end of this week did not signal the end of SLAB's efforts to get people more involved.
The group will continue to register voters until the Oct. 18 registration deadline, would show all the remaining presidential and vice-presidential debates in the Kansas Union and would be showing a PBS documentary featuring both presidential candidates.

Friday, Oct. 8, marks Lee National Denim Day, the largest single-day fundraiser for breast cancer. Companies, organizations and groups, including The University of Kansas, participate nationwide by wearing jeans to work and school on Friday and making a donation to the Susan G.

This year, 216,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 40,000 women will die due to complications of this disease before Jan. 1, 2005, according to the fundraiser's Web site, www.denimdav.com.
The University of Kansas Public Relations Student Society of America will sponsor and promote campus events this week in the effort to raise money and awareness about breast cancer.
Jayhawk Communications, a student-run public relations firm and a division of PRSSA, will take on the Lee National Denim Day account for the University.
Its goal is for the student body and faculty to donate $5,000 in less than one week.
Denim Days to raise funds for cancer
"If every student just gives one dollar toward the cause, we could raise over $25,000. Add the entire faculty to that and we're over $29,000," said Katie Means, Oskaloosa senior and director of Jayhawk Communications.
Jayhawk Communications slogan this year is "Support the Women you Love."
Tonight, two speakers will kick off the week's events. Jen Johnson, a young breast cancer survivor diagnosed while pregnant at age 27, and Amie Jew, a breast surgeon, will speak about their experiences with the disease.

Lee National Denim Day is this Friday. Last year the event raised more than $7.4 nationally for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Anyone can post pictures, notes or add objects like flowers at the information table in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
It will contain information about prevention, awareness and fund raising for breast cancer research.
A box for donations for the campus-wide goal of $5,000, as well as pink ribbons will be at the booth.
All proceeds go directly to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Last year, $7.4 million was raised for the foundation through Lee National Denim Days and more than 24,000 companies and organizations participated.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Campus safety plan needs critical look, evaluation
www.kansan.com
With the recent string of lapses in campus safety, we are forced to re-examine our existing campus security system and see what needs to be done. It should be a given that our campus is a safe place to be no matter the time of day.
Though there has to be an effort on the part of students to take extra precaution whether in the car, in the residence halls, or around campus, there is a responsibility on the shoulders of the University to do all they can to protect its students. Unfortunately, there are areas around our campus that need more attention and improvement.
Lighting has always been a topic of discussion. There have been talks about improvements, but ask any student that has studied at night on campus and they could probably list five places off the top of their heads where they would put more lighting.
Even with the addition of more
personnel, the KU Public Safety Office needs to be a greater factor on campus. Have you ever seen officers walking around campus at night? Why not? Maybe it's not the amount of personnel; maybe it's their application that is the problem. How about the blue emergency phones on campus? And how useful are they anyway?. In the event of a chase, the victim is supposed to hit the emergency button along the series of boxes to alert the authorities of your path.
We should either scrap the whole blue phone system all together, or make it a decent operable system. We don't need these emergency phones if you have to run aimlessly searching for the next one.
In the coming years, money will be pouring in to improve our campus. With the Chancellor's vision of a top-tier school, new computers, new buildings and new faculty will grace our university. Shouldn't a safer environment for our community be part of that plan? .

Invest now to save your future
The Internal Revenue Service reported last year that 90 percent of college students have "no money." OK, so I made that up, but I promise you if you polled that same 90 percent, they would probably say, "Yeah, sounds about right."
PERSPECTIVE
If you're like most people I know, you're concerned about how you're going to pay for the next several years of your life. In fact, the rising costs of a college education, in a process known as "tuition inflation," is so prevalent nationwide that it's even a blip on the political radar of John Kerry and George W. Bush in this election campaign.
I am a native of Ireland. I have been an educator and administrator in many schools throughout the country. I have taught mathematics, science, art, and English at various levels for over 30 years. I also tutored students in music, dance, and theater. I am a member of the Irish Society for Education and has been involved in numerous educational programs and initiatives. I believe in the importance of education and have contributed to numerous educational initiatives.
But until something happens in the economy that puts a damper on the ballooning cost of being a student, it is a good idea to look for ways and means to help keep your pocketbook from looking like a pancake.
Most people I talk to about dollars and cents — financial experts, family members, friends studying economics, has been bums on Massachusetts Street — suggest "investment" as a great place to start building. But you might ask yourself, "What is an investment?"
Definitions vary. I used to think the money I spent on a night out was a great investment in my future. After all, who wants to remember playing
SEAN PAUZAUSKIE

Kiyosaki even goes so far as to contradict the popular wisdom that a house, bankrolled through a credit union or bank loan, is an investment. If you have to spend money to pay the bank and pay money to keep the house clean and replace its shudders, what makes a house an investment, he argues. Kiyosaki believes "money should work for you," and not "you
Yahtzee in a dorm room when so many activities wait outside at the swipe of a credit card? No one would take you seriously, however, if all you invested your money in was food and booze.
The second thing you might think goes back to the original point: If I'm a student and have no money, why on God's green earth should I invest it?
I found more plausible investment definitions in an economics class and in the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Kiyoski suggests an investment is anything that puts money in your pocket and doesn't take it out. Assets fit this definition, liabilities don't.
The point isn't that students should take their mounds of pennies and turn them into mounds of nickels. It's that these thin years should be a time to learn the different investing systems, so by the time money shows up in our bank accounts, we have some idea of what can be done with it.
Make no mistake, a college degree leaves out a wealth of boring financial education. But stocks and mutual funds and real estate and all the unknown areas of our capitalist system that can lead to financial security are worth learning about, especially while there's still time.
And finally, if you only remember one thing about money when you wake up each morning, let it be George Burns's bit of advice: "Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed."
Picking up a copy of The Wall Street Journal could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and your bank account.

Kobach tries to hide his views by smearing mud on Moore
In the Q&A printed in the Kansan with Kansas 3rd Congressional District Republican candidate Kris Kobach, I was disturbed to read the candidate's response to one particular question:
"How does a conservative win in a historically moderate district?" To paraphrase Kobach's answer, Dennis Moore (the current Democratic representative of the third district) is an extreme left-wing liberal, and Moore's votes are on the left side of the Democratic Party.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear editors.
Kobach is trying to smear Moore as an extremist. I, for one, would like to know what exactly shows Moore's extremist liberalism. Maybe it was the elimination of the "marriage penalty" tax which he voted for. Or maybe it was when he voted to make the child tax credit permanent. Wait, I've got it. That raging liberal voted to eliminate the Estate Tax! Moore is a fiscal conservative who consistently crosses party lines to vote in favor of tax cuts.
Of course, being so far left as a Democrat can only lead you to the most scary liberal organization that exists for your kind: the Blue Dog Conservative Democrats. Wait a second- "Conservative Democrats?" How is that extremely "to the left side of his party?" Kobach is trying to dodge that most voters will find him to be frighteningly to the right side of his party.
as, according to the Johnson County Sun, Kobach "ran a very negative campaign in the August Republican primary election against Adam Taff, linking Taff to liberals like Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy." Yes. Taff, for being a moderate Republican, is a scary liberal on par with Ted Kennedy. Obviously, about half of Kobach's own party is too liberal for him. Meanwhile, Moore prides himself on making true progress through bridging the party gap. Third District voters have an interesting choice- moderate bridge builder Moore, who undoubted ly will get work done in Congress, or the bitter partisanship of Kris Kobach, who will vote down anything that seems remotely non-conservative.
I encourage undecided voters to check out the following Web site: www.kriswatch.blogspot.com, where Kobach's statements, speeches, and advertisements are checked for accuracy.

The city has not enforcing zoning laws on the University because it is a state agency.

The first category includes the University's primary campus.
It is not subject to any city zoning laws.
The University is also not required by law to consult the city about any construction that occurs within the boundaries of the primary campus, but it is required to comply with city
codes for storm, waste and drinking water.
The second category deals with the 150-foot buffer around the primary campus.
The agreement states that the University can build in the buffer around campus, but they have to engage in dialogue with stakeholders and surrounding property owners.
The third category includes any land outside of the 150-foot buffer.
The city commission discussed the agreement Sept. 7 at the commission meeting.
Any construction the University conducts in this area is subject to city zoning codes.
Commissioner David Dunfield said he thought the predictable boundaries established by the agreement were an enormous step forward.
Candice Davis, president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said she was in favor of the good will that would be created through the agreement, but she was somewhat

Candice Davis
President of the Oread
Neighborhood Association
skeptical of the University's role because of past agreements the University has not honored.
The 1997 Campus Plan established an implied boundary in the Oread neighborhood for University growth.
The boundary was marked by an alleyway that fell halfway between Ohio and Louisiana streets.
Two rental properties along the 1300 block of Ohio Street were eventually demolished and one was relocated.
Demolition was held off on the relocated property so it could be saved.
The Endowment Association purchased the properties, which
had been determined by the city to be not up to code because of structural problems and asbestos.
The Campus Plan acts as a master plan for the University and is a living document, which means it continues to evolve, said Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations.
The Oread neighborhood is concerned about the risk the new agreement could pose to its properties.
The new agreement will not take the place of the Campus Plan.
"I consider this a jewel and once it's gone, it's gone forever," Davis said.
The neighborhood contains old, properties, some of which are historic.
Provost David Shulenburger has been involved in discussions with the city about the agreement.
with public aid, the Shulenburger said the University was put here for state purposes and the state thought the University should be subject to state rules.
"We want to be good neighbors so we sat down with the city and tried to work out what we believe, and I think the folks who are from the city who are part of the process believe, to be an effort that will at the same time make life predictable and good for those folks who live around the University," Shulenburger said.
"The University can't say at some point that we won't expand beyond our boundaries. But what we are saying is that if we do move beyond these boundaries, we will move beyond them respecting the city ordinances and letting neighbors have as much predictability with the University," Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said there had been give from the city and the University toward a compromise that would work for both.
He said he was pleased with the current state of the agreement.

MARSO: More funds needed to cover expenses

the area to helping them locate a van for Andy.
Gibson, general manager and news adviser for The University Daily Kansan, visits Andy on a regular basis and keeps in close contact with the family.
The Kansan, where Andy worked as a copy editor and reporter, has also worked to raise money for the Marso Fund.
Registration for a Texas Hold 'Em tournament benefiting the Marso Fund begins today in the classified office of Stauffer-Flint Hall.
The tournament has been scheduled for Oct. 21 at Abe & jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
The tournament is being sponsored by several Lawrence companies.
Gibson said the Kansan would make raising money for the fund a priority.
"It's my hope that the KU community realizes how important this cause is," he said.
If Andy is to live the life he wants to, the family will need more money. Ginny said she didn't know exactly how much of the more-than $1 million hospital bill her family would have to pay.
She thought insurance and Medicaid would pay the bulk of it.
Even if insurance covers that, it won't pay for a light-weight titanium wheelchair that Andy will need in the future. The wheelchair will cost at least $3,000.
But there are myriad of other costs. Andy's motorized wheel chair, for example, costs around $18,000 to $19,000.
As he recovers, Andy also will need several prosthetics that will have to be refitted as his limbs change through time. The pros-

thetic that Andy prefers runs around $80,000 to $100,000.
He knows it's out of his price range, but the bionic hand would give Andy use of prosthetic fingers through electronic impulses from the muscles in his arms.
Fingers would be good to have, he said, especially for a career in journalism.
Even if you discount the costs of Andy's illness, there are still many costs for the family to bear.
The Marsos are still paying a mortgage on their house in St.
Shortly after Andy was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, Ginny quit her law practice to be by her son.
Somehow his dad is still on payroll at his job, Andy said. Neither of his parents has been back to St. Cloud since Andy was checked into the hospital.
Andy appreciates the concern but doesn't like the attention, he said.
“There are times that even if I want something I don't ask," he said. "I feel like a nag."
He wants his family to go back to a normal life, he said.
But his family doesn't mind. They like taking care of him.
"It's been the hardest thing I've had to do but it's also been the most fulfilling thing." Ginny said.
Harry, his father, said it wasn't a choice. It's something that he
and his family had to do.
The Marsos seem optimistic about Andy's recovery and often talk about times when Andy will be better.
Recovery, though, will take time. The Marsos still haven't set a date for when they'll move back home. Four months, maybe six months, Ginny said. But she doesn't know. There is still so much uncertainty.
Andy may have to undergo more surgeries and more amputation.
There are so many risks that Andy said he was scared to leave the hospital last month. It was a safe place for him.
Then there's always a threat of infection.
"You're supposed to leave the hospital when you're better," he said. "I wasn't when I left."
Until he is better, Andy and his family said they would continue to celebrate the small victories.

ALARM: Eight false alarms cause concern

nave individuals who have been
pulling the alarms," he said.
Stoner said he understood that the false alarms could have been done in a joking manner, but he's not laughing and he doesn't care about the pretenses for them being pulled.
"It's not a practical joke. Safety is very important," he said. "If anyone's identified, we would evict them. If we had enough evidence, we'd press criminal charges on them."
A student has already been charged with obstructing fire equipment in McCollum Hall. Stoner said a resident of McCollum set off a fire extinguisher which triggered the alarm Sept. 20. Disciplinary actions have been taken though he said he could not discuss the terms of individual cases against students.
A resident assistant fell down the stairs and sustained minor injuries during one of the false alarms last Wednesday.
The alarms are not only inconvenient, but put residents, fire fighters and Lawrence residents at risk of injury.
And every time a fire truck is called to a scene, fire or none, people's lives are in danger because of the high speeds the vehicles travel, Marl Bradford, deputy chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical said.
And false alarms can take help away from people who really need it.
"If someone has a heart attack or a kid is chocking, false alarms take away from that person," Bradford said.
Bailey said there is usually a "problem" residence hall each year, and McCollum seems to be it for 2004-2005.
Bailey and Stoner encourage any student who knows any information regarding the alarms to call CrimeStoppers or contact a resident assistant in McCollum.

CALENDAR: Men look for respect, recognition
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Some of the men chosen for the calendar said they were looking forward to being recognized, but felt nervous about the reaction from some of their friends for posing for a calendar.
The members of Delta Gamma don't have a goal dollar amount for the calendar because they don't have anything to base their project off, said Johnson. The calendars will sell for $8 each.
"I'm pretty excited about it, but I'm a little weary of the Zoolander comments that are to come," said Scott Shorten. Stilwell junior. Shorten said he was sure he would receive jokes about being a model from his friends. He also said the calendar was a good idea because it brought attention to men who are busy and heavily involved with many areas of service and academics.
"People might not know how hard we work and the depth and variety of the things we are involved with." Shorten said.
Though they fulfilled all of the requirements, some of the men said they were still surprised
when they got selected.
Brian Bizjack filled out an application, but did not expect to actually get selected. He said he thought people might see him in a different light now. Bizjack's achievements include being involved with Jaywalk, the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and the Student Union Activities' Live Music Committee.
"Hopefully, a lot more people will realize I'm talented," said the Tula, Okla, sophomore.
Being on the calendar was not so much a culmination of achievements, but rather another achievement they could be proud of, some of the men said.
"It's critical," Jason Simon, Andale senior, said. "Nine out of 10 people work in programs that need positive reinforcement."
Going into the photo shoot was a little nerve-racking, Bizjack said, but he felt relieved when he discovered he wouldn't be wearing a Speedo.
The more you recognize students for their successes, the more you can push them to work more and give more back to the University, he said. He also said he liked the idea of contributing
"I really hope Delta Gamma gets a lot of money for their philanthropy." Simon said.
Johnson said the applicants who were not chosen were sent a letter in the mail thanking them for their interest in the calendar and in Delta Gamma's philanthropy, Site Conservation and Aid to the Blind.
"We had a great application pool, which caused us to be selective in our choices," Johnson said. "We are very impressed with applicants' involvement at KU and in the Lawrence community and their strong academic records."
to a good cause.
The calendars will be sold from Monday, Nov. 1, through Thursday, Nov. 4, at Wescoe Beach. People can also buy calendars at the Delta Gamma house, 1015 Emery Road.
Pursuing another men's calendar next year would depend on the success of this year's calendar, she said, but the experience was worth making another calendar.
"It's something we truly hope to continue," she said.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska running back Cory Ross may not be the biggest ball carrier in the Big 12, but Ross big plays on Saturday enabled the Cornhuskers to top Kansas for the 36th straight time.
Ross ran for 107 yards on 19 carries with a touchdown.
"He is such a great guy in terms of his demeanor about football," Nebraska
coach Bill Callahan said. "He loves the game, he wants the ball. He's not a selfish guy, he will do anything for this team."
Ross was involved in both of Nebraska's touchdowns. He had an 18-yard run in the second quarter to get the Huskers on the board.

points total:
Saturday's 14-8 loss to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the Jayhawks' 36th consecutive to their Northern neighbors, was the team's third straight consecutive defeat. Last season, losses were usually because the defense could not slow opposing teams. This season, the losses come because the Jayhawks cannot seem to put points on the scoreboard.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Over the previous three years, the Kansas football team lost 25 games by an average of 26.7 points per game. This season, the difference in its three losses has been 10 points total.
Saturday, Kansas' defense gave its offense multiple opportunities to rack up points, forcing four fumbles and intercepting three passes. The defense
also made Nebraska punt six times.
"They played terrific," Mangino said. "They got turnovers; they did everything you want. They played well enough to win."
enough to win.
The offense, though, could move the ball no closer than the Nebraska 16-yard line. Once the Jayhawks hit the red zone, they couldn't go anywhere but backward.
"We don't have problems moving it between the 20s," said Kansas sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann. "It's just when we get in the red zone we stall out and have a tough time scoring."
One facet of the offense that worked better than it has in recent weeks was the running game.

In fact, Kansas sophomore tailback John Randle was the first player to rush for over 100 yards against Nebraska since Kansas State's Darren Sproles broke the barrier on Nov. 15 2003.
Randle posted 105 yards on 23 carries.
"It sure is nice," Randle said. "I enjoy running the ball. I'm proud of myself and the line for doing good."
Mangino was determined to mention the improvement of the offensive line after the game.
During the week leading up to the game, he stressed that changes would be coming to the offensive line.

One Kansas soccer game had to be moved to Topeka because of inclement weather, and the other was played at home in near perfect conditions. But the main thing this weekend's games had in common was the fact that Kansas won them shutouts in impressive fashion.
sive fashion. Yesterday junior forward Caroline Smith scored two late goals and recorded an assist in helping the Jayhawks secure a 3-0 victory over Baylor yesterday. On Friday, the Jayhawks beat Texas Tech 5-0.
Tech 5-0. Smith's first score yesterday came in the 81st minute when she took the ball away from Baylor goalie Ashley Holder and kicked it into the unprotected goal. Holder dove onto the ground to secure a loose ball but didn't hold it well enough. Smith took advantage.
advantage.
Seconds later Smith scored her second goal of the season on a penalty kick, the first for Kansas this season. She took the penalty kick after junior forward Jessica Smith was fouled while driving to the net by a charging Holder. The goal keeper was given a red card, electing her from the game.
ejecting her from the game.
It was Caroline Smith's first multiple goal game of the season.
"I didn't know the two goals were a minute apart," Smith said. "The first goal, she just dropped it, and I got in on it. The second one was against a goalie who hadn't played all day. You just got to take what you can get."
"Baylor came out the second half really fired up and dominated the first 15 or 20 minutes in the second half." said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "They had a lot of opportunities, and it could have been a totally different game."
The two goals opened up what was previously a tight 1-0 match-up and gave the Jayhawks the momentum to finish out the game.
But in the closing seconds of the first half, the Kansas defense broke down and allowed Baylor's Margaret Kaderli to get off what looked like a sure goal, but senior goalie Meghan Miller tipped the ball away causing the Baylor coaches to throw their clipboards to the ground in disgust.
Kansas took an early 1-0 lead in the 13th minute when sophomore midfielder Jessica Kilpatrick received a pass from Caroline Smith and headed home a goal.
"They could have made that," Francis said. "Miller made a great save at the end of the half to give us a 1-0 lead. Without that, we don't win by three."
With the shut-out victory, Miller
recorded her eighth shut out of the season, which leads the Big 12 Conference.
The 3-0 victory over Baylor came after the rout of Texas Tech on Friday in a game that was moved to Hummer Sports Park, a facility with lights in Topeka, because of threatening weather.
Junior midfielder Kimberly Karfonta performed a cart wheel and two back flips after she scored the final goal of the game in the 78th minute.
The team enjoyed its victory so much that one player was doing back flips to celebrate.

A fall classic
Texas faces Oklahoma Saturday
THE ASSOCATED PRESS
Let the hype begin.
Now that everyone has played at least one conference game, the Big 12 can focus its attention on the biggest regular season matchup of the year. No. 2 Oklahoma vs. No. 5 Texas.
Sure there are other league games next weekend, but none will carry the same impact as the Red River Shootout in Dallas.
Saturday's game marks the third time in four years both teams are undefeated and ranked in the top five.
The winner takes a huge step toward winning the South Division and, given the weakened state of the North, will be the conference title favorite.
Then you might as well throw in the Bowl Championship Series and a potential national title run ...
The Sooners (4-0, 1-0) have owned this series the last four years, making a mockery of the Longhorns and a once-tight rivalry behind scores of 63-14, 14-3, 35-24 and 65-13.
OK, back to the game. Considering how OU flopped late last season, it's best to take 'em one game at a time. Or four.
Last year's slaughter may have been the worst for Longhorns fans. Such utter humiliation created fear that Texas (4-0, 1-0) had fallen hopelessly behind the Sooners in talent and — some said something.
"I've been assured I'm going to keep my job regardless of the outcome of this game," he said.
That's why Longhorns fans call this year's game Judgment Day, although coach Mack Brown said Sunday it's not so dire for him.
coaching.
of the Red River) can't go on forever. Can it?
The winning/losing streak (depending on whether one lives north or south of the Red River) can't go on forever.
Can it?
"In my opinion, they can't go five," said former Longhorn and current Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Roy Williams.
Williams is probably not the best person to ask.
"We can't let one thing keep leading to another," he said.
A losing streak like this tightens up players and coaches alike.
He was on those Texas teams that took four straight beatings.
Brown didn't want his players talking about the Sooners even as chants of "Beat OU" rained down on the field Saturday.
All of that can start Monday, Brown said.
"No comment about OU," Texas quarterback Vince Young said after the Baylor game.
At least one Longhorn broke the silence.
"You don't need to remind the guys,' said senior wide receiver Tony Jeffery. "They know about the streak and now we can focus on it since it's next on our schedule."
North of the Red River, Oklahoma players and coaches freely admitted they were getting excited.
"It can't get here soon enough because, more than anything, you kinda get tired of waiting for it," coach Bob Stoops said after his team beat Texas Tech 28-13.
"You get kind of anxious," he said "You want to go play tomorrow."

Chiefs look for first victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — Pardon the Baltimore Ravens for showing no pity for the winless Kansas City Chiefs. They've got their own problems
Jamal Lewis, who ran for 2,066 yards last season and 186 yards a week ago in Cincinnati, will be in the Baltimore backfield tonight. But there's the possibility he won't be there for long, depending upon developments in his federal drug trial in Atlanta.
If Lewis accepts a plea bargain, a distinct possibility, then an NFL suspension will likely follow. So the Ravens need to tighten their grip on first place in the AFC North just in case they are faced with operating without Lewis down the stretch.
Beating the Chiefs would be the first step toward accomplishing that goal.
"We have the same mentality as Kansas City has — that we can't afford a loss." Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis
said. "So it's going to be two desperate teams going at it. We want to stay ahead of our division, so we're just as desperate as them."
It's a powerful offensive team playing with a sense of brazenness. That might make the Chiefs even more menacing.
When the Ravens (2-1) think of the Chiefs, they see a team with accomplished coach Dick Vermeil, standout running back Priest Holmes, Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez and Dante Hall returning kicks.
"This team is the same team that was 13-3 last year. We recognize that, we respect that," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "It's the same team with the same capabilities. That's what we have to keep in the forefront of our minds."
They don't see a stumbling 0-3 team that has gone 4-7 since opening the 2003 season with nine straight wins.
Winless after three games for the first time since 1980, the Chiefs have no logical explanation for their poor start. At
this point, the reason is irrelevant. The only matter of importance is getting that first win.
"We definitely have the ingredients to turn it around, because it's the same team as last year." Holmes said. "Our key guys are still here. The hardest thing, when you're losing, is getting that first win."
It is a pursuit that has become increasingly frustrating for a team that finished with the NFL's second-best record in 2003.
"We're not very happy," defensive end Vonnie Holliday said. "Guys are working hard. We're trying to right this wrong. We feel like we're better than 0-3. We're just not doing it on the field. We believe we will get it fixed."
The Chiefs' problem is similar to their shortcoming of a year ago: defense. Kansas City has yielded 86 points, and now they've got to take on Jamal Lewis, who ran for 115 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City last season in a 17-10 defeat.
Wildcats fumble game away
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — One element bound to be missing in this week's Kansas State-Kansas game is momentum.
The Jayhawks threw away their chance for a rare win at Nebraska on Saturday when they failed to take advantage of a swarm of turnovers.
For the Wildcats, it was a spate of turnovers that doomed them at Texas A&M.
Darren Sproles, whose Heisman chances are dimming weekly, committed two of Kansas State's turnovers Saturday night.
The Aggies gratefully turned the giveaways into 21 points and handed the Wildcats a 42-30 loss in their Big 12 opener.
Ironically, Sproles had been working all week on holding onto the ball after fumbling twice against Louisiana-Lafayette.
"Nobody feels worse than Darren
Sproles," offensive coordinator Greg Peterson said. "He was awfully tough on himself in the locker room, but he'll bounce back."
The loss leaves the Wildecats 2-2 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12 coming into their annual showdown with Kansas, which this year is at Lawrence.
Sproles, the 5-foot-8, 170-pound senior Kansas State is pushing for the Heisman, is pushed for only 61 yards on 20 carries. He also had 48 yards on six receptions.
The Wildcats kept the heat on the home-standing Aggies. After falling behind 35-17 in the fourth quarter, quarterback Dylan Meier hit Jermaine Moreira for an 18-yard touchdown pass that made it 35-30 with 3:50 left.
But Meier was flushed out of the pocket before he found Sproles with a shovel pass that netted just 3 yards with 94 seconds left.
On their next possession, the Wildcats faced fourth-and-8 at the Aggies' 36.
Sproles has fumbled seven times and Kansas State has lost five of them. His most critical fumble against the Aggies came when Kansas State was trailing just 21-17.
with 37 seconds left on a 62-yard run by quarterback Reggie McNeal.
The defense held A&M to a three- and-out, but Sproles overran Jacob Young's 44-yard punt and the ball dropped behind him at the 6-yard line.
A&M's Byron Jones recovered at the 5, setting up a 4-yard scoring run by Jason Carter three plays later that gave A&M a 28-17 cushion.
Texas A&M then scored the clincher
"I just dropped it," Sproles said of the punt. "it's on me."
Meier's interception was the last of four Kansas State turnovers.
"That's a major part of (the loss), quite obviously." coach Bill Snyder said when asked about the turnovers. "And where they occurred. Obviously, it was a disaster at the time."
BOWLING
Three of the Wildcats' giveaways came deep in their own territory, and all three resulted in A&M touchdowns.

The Kansas volleyball team lost its third straight Big 12 Conference match Saturday. The Baylor Bears upset the No. 24 Jayhawks 3-1.
"It was a disappointing loss, but we're going to keep moving forward." coach Ray Bechard said.
Their conference record of 1-4 places the Jayhawks at 10th in the conference standings.
The Kansas offense was more consistent in the second game, hitting .343, the team's best onegame percentage in its last 20 sets dating back to Sept. 19 against North Dakota State. The Iawhawks won 30-22.
Game three featured poor offense and solid defense, as neither squad's hitting percentage was more than 150. Baylor won 34-32 on an attack error on the last point.
Kansas led game one 20-17 after trading five and six-point scoring rallies with Baylor. Baylor outside hitter Stella Odion and middle blocker Adeline Meira fueled the game's final rally, giving their team a 30-25 victory.
In game four Baylor libero Maggie Chlebana led an early sixp口 rally with two service aces
When Kansas regained service, it trailed 9-7 and would never be closer. The Bears won 30-17.
Both teams had 66 digs on the night. Kansas senior libero Jill Dorsey led senior with 22.
Neither team had an impressive hitting percentage on the night. Kansas finished at .139 and Baylor at .214. It was the third straight match that Kansas hit below .150.
"Baylor had all the intensity." Bechard said.
Junior middle blocker Josi Lima led Kansas with 14 kills, while senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels added 12 and freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown had 11.
Sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa returned after a three-match injury absence to score 13 kills.

Former Tampa Bay star has interesting return
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — John Lynch will remember it as the touchdown-saving hit he was too much of a gentleman to make. Fortunately for Denver, the mistake didn't ruin the safety's emotional return to Tampa Bay.
Instead, Lynch merely touched Michael Clayton on the back, thinking the rookie was down. Clayton, whose helmet was knocked off when his head was brushed by Lynch's knee, stood and took off for the end zone to complete a 51-yard pass play.
Jake Plummer threw a five-yard TD pass to Patrick Hape and Jason Elam kicked three field goals yesterday to give the Broncos a 16-13 victory over the winless Buccaneers, whose only touchdown came on a play in which Lynch failed to knock down a receiver who was getting up off the ground.
Plummer completed 13 of 31 passes for 138 yards, saving his best for the fourth quarter when he took advantage of a 37-yard pass interference penalty to set up Elam's 24-yard field goal that snapped a 13-13 tie with 9:03 to go.
The Denver quarterback also put together a long drive that
burned all but three seconds of the final 7:26 off the clock. Tampa Bay inserted Chris Simms, the inactive third quarterback, for the last play, and Lynch nearly intercepted his desperation pass near midfield.
The loss was the sixth straight over two seasons for the Bucs (0-4), who have dropped 10 of their last 13 games.
then last 19 games. Lynch was presented with a key to the city after the Bucs, a little more than a year removed from winning the Super Bowl, released the five-time Pro Bowl selection in a cost-cutting move that was very unpopular with fans.
Many in the crowd of 65,341 wore No. 47 Broncos jerseys and greeted Lynch, who played 11 seasons in Tampa Bay, with a loud ovation when he ran onto the field for pregame warmups and again when the starting line-ups were introduced.

It was another frustrating day for the Bucs offense, which had some success moving the ball but had to settle for field goals by Martin Gramatica of 28 and 30 yards on two possessions deep in Broncos territory.

Brad Johnson completed 15 of 23 passes for 162 yards, including the second-quarter touchdown throw to Clayton.

Elam's 49-yard field goal made it 10-0 and his 50-yard put the Broncos up 13-7 after Clayton scored his first NFL touchdown after Lynch's mistake at about the 25-yard line.
Royals set season record for losses
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jose Contreras took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox ended a disappointing season with a 5-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Chicago, slowed by injuries to Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez, finished 83-79, second to Minnesota in the AL Central.
After going 83-79 and finishing second to the Twins last year, Kansas City set a team record for losses by going 58-104, breaking the mark set when the Royals went 62-100 in 2000. The Royals, also hurt by injuries, lost eight of their last nine games.
Contraceras (13-9) did not allow a hit until Ruben Gotay singled to right leading off the seventh, ending a streak of 16 straight batters retired.
Acquired from the New York Yankees on July 31, Contretras went 5-4 in 14 starts with the White Sox and his 9.21 ERA in September was the highest in the American League. After going 0-3 in his previous six starts, he allowed two hits in eight innings, struck out four and walked two.
warned two.
Shingo Takatsu pitched the ninth to complete a three-hitter. Kansas City was shut out 13 times, matching Tampa Bay for the most in the American League.
Joe Randa, the popular third baseman who was probably playing his last game for Kansas City, went 0-for-3 with a walk and received a standing ovation every time he batted.
Zack Greinke (8-11) allowed three runs and seven hits in five innings. He went 0-2 in his last four starts.

Softball goes 3-1, wins Jayhawk Fall Classic
Jayhawks avenge Saturday's loss to Emporia State in championship game

take the bite. The Jayhawks came into the game as the second seed after losing to the Hornets on Saturday.
Kansas was led by freshman left-hander Christina Ross, who pitched the complete game.
Sophomore first baseman Nicole Washburn and freshman catcher Elle Pottorf each had RBI singles in a two-run sixth inning that proved to be the difference in the game.
"My defense did a really good job behind me today," Ross said. "They made the plays when it counted, and they came through with the bats in the end."
Kansas trailed 1-0 entering the top of the sixth inning.
With one out, junior out-
fielder Heather Stanley started a
rally with a double to left field.
Washburn promptly tied the game with a single through the hole at short.
After Emporia State walked junior designated player Serena Settlemier junior infielder Destiny Frankenstein loaded the bases. Pottert then hit a line drive into center field that brought freshman pinch runner Jackie Vasquez home from third with the winning run.

over the weekend.
"We did some good things this weekend, but I think we definitely have some things we need to work on," said coach Tracy Bunge. "We let the pace of the game bring us down a little bit, and our focus and intensity level was a little bit off."
The jaghawks looked lost at the plate at times, failing to move base runners and getting caught stealing several times.
Bunge said the team would specifically focus this week on improving its offensive execution.
"Our short game will be a focus, and we will be working on our base running and sliding as well." Bunge said. "We need our hitters to be a little more patient at the plate, and we also need to work on getting their confidence up."
Ross agreed that both she and the team had some things to work on before heading to Lincoln next week for the Big Red Fall Classic.
"I don't think I played up to my normal standards," she said. "I think we learned a lot over the weekend about our team and where we stand, and we know that we have some work to do in practice."

Patriots continue to find ways to extend streak
O
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
1
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. With Tom Brady at quarterback and a stingy, opportunistic defense, it's difficult to imagine when the New England Patriots might lose again.
Brady and defensive end Richard Seymour combined to secure the Patriots' record-tying 18th straight victory, 31-17 over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Brady put the Patriots ahead for good with a two-yard scoring pass to tight end Daniel Graham four minutes into the fourth quarter.
The Patriots' defense did the rest.
With New England ahead 24-17, the victory was clinched when Seymour picked up quarterback Drew Bledsoe's fumble and ran it 68 yards for a touchdown with 2:44 remaining.
It's now been 53 weeks since the Patriots lost, a 20-17 defeat at Washington on Sept. 28, 2003.
New England has won 15 straight regular-season games, including three to start this season, and three straight in the playoffs, including last February's Super Bowl.
The Patriots tied a record held by four other NFL teams — Chicago did it twice — and also by the 1947-48 AACF Cleveland Brown. They're the first to win 18 straight since Denver in 1997-98.
New England gets an opportunity to break the record by hosting Miami next weekend.
Brady went 17-for-30 for 298 yards and two touchdowns, including a 30-yard pass to David Patten.
Corey Dillon had 79 yards rushing and a touchdown. Adam Vinatieri also hit a 42-yard field goal.
The Bills bumbled to their third straight loss this season, reflective of a team that's won only 17 games since the start of 2001. Bledsoe finished 18-of-30 for 247 yards and a touchdown. But he was intercepted once and sacked seven times.
Cardinals 34, Saints 10
TEMPE, Ariz. — Emmitt Smith earned another NFL record with his 77th 100-yard rushing game, and threw the first pass of his 15-year pro career. It went for a touchdown.
The NFL's career rushing leader had his best game since leaving Dallas two years ago, gaining 127 yards in 21 carries. It gave Dennis Green his first victory as Cardinals coach.
Smith, six months past his 35th birthday, tied Walter Payton's record of 77 games with 100 yards.
It was his first 100-yard game since Thanksgiving 2002, when he did it for Dallas against Washington.
The Cardinals (1-3) rushed for 211 yards against the mistake-prone Saints (2-2).
Jets 17, Dolphins 9
MIAMI — The Jets came up with four turnovers by quarterback Jay Fiedler in the second half, including an interception returned 66 yards for a touchdown by Donnie Abraham, to improve to 3-0 for only the third time in franchise history.
New York also won its first three games in 1966 and 2000.
The Dolphins fell to 0-4 for the first time since their expansion season in 1966.
season since 1988.
New York's Curtis Martin topped 100 yards rushing for the third game in a row and the 50th time in his career, moving into 10th place on the NFL's all-time rushing list.
They've scored two touchdowns this year while committing 14 turnovers and will need dramatic improvement on offense to avoid their first losing
He totaled 110 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, and became the 11th NFL player to rush for 12,000 yards.
He has 12,094, passing Thurman Thomas, who has 12,074.
Colts 24. Jaquars 17
JACKSONVILLE. Fla.
Peyton Manning was 13-for-13 for 162 yards on three touchdown drives to lead the Colts.
Jacksonville (3-1) played a fourth consecutive close game
it won the first three by a combined seven points, but couldn't pull this one out.
After Edgerrin James' threeyard touchdown run gave the Colts a 24-17 lead, Jacksonville drove into Indy territory with less than two minutes to play.
Indy pulled even with Jacksonville in the AFC South but has a distinct edge with road wins over the Jaguars and Titans.
But Fred Taylor came up short on fourth-and-one, and the Colts (3-1) ran out the clock.
Steelers 28. Bengals 17
PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger, showing uncommon poise for a rookie not expected to play this season, twice rallied the Steelers and Duce Stalley ran for 123 yards.
Roethlisberger went 17-of-25 for 174 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions to easily better Carson Palmer in a QB duel that may be repeated for years in the AFC North.
Palmer drove the Bengals (1-3) to touchdowns on their opening drives of each half, but ended the game with consecutive interceptions.
The Steelers are 3-1 for the second time in four seasons and are 2-0 since Roethlisberger became the starter when Tommy Maddox injured his right elbow. Maddox isn't due back until next month at the earliest.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Tiki Barber ran for a 52-yard touchdown and 182 yards in all, Kurt Warner threw a touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, and Packers quarterback Brett Favre was knocked from the game with a head injury.
Giants 14. Packers 7
The Giants improved to 3-1 despite a series of missed opportunities, including three errant field goal attempts by Steve Christie.
The Packers, trying to overcome infighting and injuries, fell to 1-3 for the first time since 1993 and have their first three game losing streak under fifth-year coach Mike Sherman.
Eagles 19, Bears 9
CHICAGO — David Akers kicked four field goals, and Donovan McNabb threw for 222 yards and a touchdown as the Eagles picked apart the injury-riddled Bears.
Terrell Owens caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown, which he celebrated with sit-ups in the end zone. Brian Westbrook ran for 115 yards and caught nine passes for 63 yards as the Eagles improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1993.
All of Philadelphia's victories have been by double-digits, and this one wasn't even as close as
the score indicated. The Bears fell to 1-3.
McNabb was 24-of-38 for 237 yards, but he was intercepted in the third quarter, snapping a streak dating back to last season of 161 consecutive passes without a pick.
Falcons 27. Panthers 10
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers finally found a way to contain Michael Vick. And it didn't matter. The Falcons still found a way to win, moving to 4-0 to match the best start in franchise history.
Warrick Dunn had a 38-yard touchdown run and Kevin Mathis returned an interception 35 yards for another score. The Falcons last opened the season 4-0 in 1986.
Normally unable to stop Vick from racking up astronomical numbers, the Panthers (1-2) held him to 148 yards passing and 35 yards rushing in this meeting.
But with all the focus on keeping Vick in check, Carolina was a mess in other areas.
Texans 30, Raiders 17
HOUSTON — After 36 games, the Texans have their first winning streak. That means it's finally time for a haircut, David Carr.
Carr vowed last September he wouldn't cut his hair again until the Texans won consecutive games.
Now he can happily head to the barber.
Carr's defensive teammates made it possible by harassing Raiders (2-2) new starting quarterback Kerry Collins into five turnovers, including each of his last four drives.
Houston (2-2) turned the first three of Collins' mistakes into 13 points: two field goals by
Kris Brown, with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Carr to Andre Johnson in between.
Chargers 38, Titans 17
SAN DIEGO — Drew Brees, who's had a tenuous grip on his job since last season, threw for three touchdowns, including a 58-yarder to Reche Caldwell midway through the fourth quarter.
LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for 147 yards and one touchdown for the Chargers (2-2).
The Titans (1-3) played without quarterback Steve McNair, who was reduced to being the emergency third quarterback after bruising his sternum in a loss to Jacksonville last week.
Billy Volek threw for 278 yards and two TDs, but it wasn't enough to keep the Titans from losing their third straight.
Brees' big game came six days after rookie Philip Rivers was promoted from third-stringer to backup quarterback.
Browns 17, Redskins 13
CLEVELAND — Lee Suggs, who missed Cleveland's first three games with a neck injury, rushed for 82 yards and scored on a 3-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
From his first carry of the season, a 25-yard dash in the first quarter, the speedy Suggs gave the Browns (2-2) the spark their ground game had been missing.
Jeff Garcia went 14-of-21 for 195 yards and a TD for the Browns, who didn't secure the win until Washington's Laveranues Coles fumbled with two minutes left.
The Redskins (1-3) can pin their third straight loss on going just 1-for-11 on third downs. Mark Brunell finished 17-of-38 for 192 yards.

Today's Birthday (Oct. 4).
Today's birthday quiz: You finish all the chores you've had on your lists and the projects stacked up in your closets. Travel only if you can't find what you need closer to home. Be creative with what you have; it's more valuable than you thought.
Something you learned long ago seems to clash with the lesson you're being taught. One or the other cannot be true, but which is the lie? Ask questions.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is an 8.
HOROSCOPES
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 6.
You generally save every extra cent you're able to collect, but this time give yourself permission to get a special treat. You've earned it.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 10.
Don't let a disagreement keep you and your mate from enjoying yourselves. Listen, and you might learn how to see from another point of view. You love it when that happens.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 5.
Send out a call for whatever you need. Don't stand by passively and let others make a mess that you'll have to clean up.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today is an 8.
You can bet that even the bestlaid plans are going to go awry. Figure out how, ahead of time, and you'll be money ahead.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Today is a 5.
There's all sorts of agitation, and it isn't your fault. You're in a good position to monitor and stay out of the way. Let the others fight it out.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 9.
Once you've run all your errands, you should be able to sit and field probing questions from an authority figure with strong opinions. On second thought, maybe you can make the errands take all day and answer questions tomorrow.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21). Today is a 4.
The assignment for today involves your money and other people's, too. Figure
out how to divvy it up so you make a little for your trouble.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is an 8.
You're the life of the party, and you sure love playing the field. If you just stick to a few simple rules, there shouldn't be a problem. Enjoy.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 5.
you're good at what you're doing, and you're getting even better. But are you getting paid in cold, hard cash, or hopes for a better future? It doesn't matter. Keep at it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a 10.
You have responsibilities to the public, it's true. But if you have to choose, fiercely protect your private time. You and your family need that.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Today is a 5.
Don't show a critical person unfinished work. You'll just make your own life miserable, and you'll create a fuss. Give yourself until tomorrow night at least. You'll be in a better mood by then.

Big upsets; three students kick Kealing
MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2004
Kiss those national title hopes good-bye.
Four or five teams in last week's Kick the Kansan came into the weekend with legitimate designs on a berth in the FedEx Orange Bowl, this year's championship game.
Two teams, however, choked badly and saw their hopes drift up into the air just like the balloons that Nebraska fans launched when their team scored a touchdown this weekend.
Those two teams, Ohio State and West Virginia, both lost games to unranked opponents
who have struggled all season. Ohio State lost to a Northwestern team whose only victory came at the expense of Kansas, and West Virginia lost to Virginia Tech.
Speaking of Nebraska, the Cornhuskers led the way for me as I went an improved, but still not-quite-good-enough 9-4.
The winners this week went 11-2, and included two new faces and one old-timer who is beginning to get on my nerves.
Adam Shaul and now two time Kick the Kansan winner Brent Uhrig picked Ohio State over Northwestern and West

Virginia over Virginia Tech for their only two misses of the weekend.
The other winner, Blake Hamilton, picked Ohio State, as well as Notre Dame over Purdue.
In case you've forgotten, Uhrig won last week, and
claims he gave his roommate the winning picks from the week before that. If you ask me, Uhrig has too much time on his hands.
Between the three of them, they covered three of my four losses. The only other game that I messed up was Colorado at Missouri.
To be completely honest though, I can live with that.
I guess I let my extreme disdain and disgust for the kittens from Columbia color my judgment.
Overall, this week was acceptable and a step in the right direction. Next week's games should prove very exciting with conference showdowns all around the country.
The week also features the return of the sunflower showdown between Kansas and Kansas State.
Until Friday, keep reading,
keep trying and keep working.
I'll give you a preview of my pick for that game: I'm thinking upset.
If you haven't won, this just might be your week — but don't bet on it.

DEFENSE:No moral victories for Kansas
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Ultimately, the physical changes were minor, but the mental situation seemed to be different.
"They got off the ball a lot better this week." Randle said.
With an anemic offense and a defense that consistently gave the Jayhawks good field position, field goals became a prime opportunity for points.
After freshman kicker Scott Webb missed a kick on Kansas' opening drive Saturday, Mangino pulled him in favor of senior Johnny Beck. Beck went two-for-two.
So far this season, Kansas is just 6-13 on field goal attempts. Beck is four-for-eight, and Webb is two-for-five.
Afterward, Beck said that he approached the game in the same way he has his entire career.
"I don't think I've taken a snap in two weeks, then they call on me," Beck said. "I go out there and convert two field goals. It gives those coaches confidence that I can go out there and get the job done."
Beck has been the subject of criticism in the press, as well as on campus, for his contributions to many Kansas losses over the past two seasons.
While he started off his college career promisingly, his last two seasons have been difficult.
Overall, Kansas was just a couple of third down conversions, a made field goal or an extra defensive stop from winning any of their last three games, but the improvement offers Mangino little in comfort.
"I go out there, and I just try to do my job." Beck said. "If I don't succeed, nobody else takes it harder than I take it myself."
"There are never moral victories," Mangino said, "and there won't be as long as I'm the head coach at the University of Kansas."
Kansas has not scored a touchdown for six consecutive quarters.

Nebraska's total attendance was 77,637.
That's the most fans to see a Kansas team play since the Jayhawks played the Texas Longhorns in Austin on Nov. 10,2001.

HUSKER: Ross leads Nebraska past Kansas
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
In the third quarter, Ross caught a 14-yard screen pass from quarterback Joe Dailey and took it in for the game winning score. The pass came on third and six.
The Jayhawks blitzed on the play, which Ross said enabled him to get into the end zone.
"We caught them on a blitz, any time you get a screen pass on a blitz you are going to get a lot of yards," Ross said. "As soon as I caught the ball I saw nothing but green."
Ross caught three passes for 37 yards on the night. However, on the touchdown reception, Ross was scared that the Kansas secondary might put a big hit on him as soon as he caught the football.
"It kind of scared me because the ball was hanging up there too long," Ross said. "I was like 'oh my god, I think I'm about to get killed.'"
The five-foot-six Ross used his shifty moves to break tackles all night. Ross lost thirty pounds in the off-season, enabling him to be more versatile.
"He put a lot of work and effort in the off-season to get where he is. And as a result you can see his performance is beyond great," Dailey said. "Cory lost thirty pounds in the off season to make big plays, and that is exactly what he did tonight."
The touchdown grab was his first career touchdown reception. Last season, he was the third leading rusher on the team, with more than 500 yards on the season.

SOCCER: Smith impressive in Jayhawks' weekend victories
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
It was the first goal of the year for Karfonta, who told her teammates before the game that she would break out the gymnastics if she did something special.
"I promised my teammates that after I scored I'd do a flip," Karfonta said. "I was a gymnast and cheerleader in high school, and it's kind of expected that if I score I do a flip."
It looked like it was going to be a good day for Kansas from the very beginning, as the team jumped out early and never looked back. The Jayhawks were quicker than the Red Raiders and seemed have the offensive edge throughout the contest.
Kansas got started 14 minutes into the game when freshman defender Afton Sauer headed a free kick from senior mid-fielder Lauren Williams past the Texas Tech goalie. Sauer's header was the first goal of her career. Seven minutes later, sophomore midfielder Nicole Cauzillo increased the lead with a perfectly placed bending free kick that hit the upper left portion of the net from 25 vards out.
Caroline Smith capped off an impressive first half of soccer when she took a pass from senior forward Monica Brothers, slashed through two defenders
and rolled the ball into the unprotected left side of the goal.
With a three-goal lead in the second half, the Jayhawks continued to attack like they did in the opening period. Senior forward Rachel Gifillan scored in the 57th minute when she took a pass from Caroline Smith and sent a shot past the attacking goalie. Karfonta added the finishing touches of the 5-0 win in the 78th minute with her goal.
Francis called off the dogs for the last 30 minutes of the game as he began plugging in the reserves. Even Miller was taken out of the game to give freshman Colleen Quinn and junior Erin Ferguson a chance to play in goal.
Miller probably could have taken the day off, as Kansas attacked virtually the entire game. She recorded one save, but only saw two shots.
"Those are my favorite games when I don't have to do a single thing," Miller said. "I like letting these guys do all the work."
"Before the game we showed the girls a video of the goals Tech scored against us last year," Francis said. "They wanted vengeance."
The team was fired up more than usual for the game. Francis said avenging last season's loss to Texas Tech was the main reason.

GREENE: Selling bracelets detracts from cause
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Then I remembered when I first had a conversation with a friend about Lance Armstrong's "Wear Yellow" program in June.
Lance teamed up with Nike, who produced the bands, with a goal of selling six million of them for $1 each, with all proceeds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation in the ongoing effort to find a cure for cancer.
There was no better spokesperson for this type of effort than Lance, a cancer survivor who rebounded by winning six consecutive Tour de France titles.
So far, Armstrong's foundation has more than doubled its goal with orders still being made
After reading up on some information on the foundation's Web site, www.laf.org, I decided to donate to the fund, and less than a week later an envelope with ten bracelets arrived on my doorstep.
I put one on my right wrist, and began to spread the word to friends and family, giving out the rest of my bracelets and trying to raise awareness.
In my life, I have seen more than my share of how cancer can break people down and make families stronger than
When I was 12 years old, my uncle, Guy, lost a long battle with cancer.
Aside from being one of the greatest human beings I've ever known, the words he delivered just before his final hours about preparing for the certainty of death and being happy with your life in front of a national audience on Oprah were an unbelievable inspiration.
Then just a couple of years ago, one of my dad's closest friends in the world, Paul, passed away after battling what was thought to be a nonfatal form of skin cancer.
After all I have seen and experienced, I figured that donating $10, wearing my band and spreading some info was the least I could do.
Then, in the Sept. 23 edition of The University Daily Kansan, I read about Adam Strauss, a KU student who bought the bracelets, and sold them on eBay, making upwards of $1,000 this summer.
When I read this, I seriously felt the vomit come half-way up my throat.
It also made me realize that it's losers like Strauss who are 1) too lazy to get an actual job and work over the summer and 2) the reason that what began as an outstanding cause to raise
ever.
money and awareness turned into something just as trendy as the popped collar.
"I gave enough money to cancer research," Strauss said in the article. "They were in high demand. I was helping people that wanted to support cancer research."
He also said his conscience is clean. How is that possible? He did not help those people one bit.
Instead, he's one of the thousands of vendors you find on eBay who have turned the "LiveStrong" bands into a Beanie Baby-like frenzy.
To those of you who still wear the yellow bands for the right reason, thank you.
To Adam Strauss, I hope someday you can really see how immoral your "business venture" really is.
Do I still own my bracelet?
Yes.
When will I wear it again?
When it's no longer a trend and once again an actual cause.

Students compete in gluttony
By Ross Fitch

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As he registered for homecoming's pizza-eating contest yesterday afternoon, Alex DiCarlo was relaxed and confident. He knew there would be plenty of competition — 25 other participants — but he had stronger motivation than the rest: To be a hot dog-eating champion.
With a bottle of Dasani water as his only aid, DiCarlo ate all but half a slice of an entire large cheese pizza, crust included, from Papa John's. And he only had five minutes.
ing champions. "This was just one step in my training on the road to the World Hot Dog-Eating Championships," said DiCarlo, Overland Park sophomore.
DiCarlo said he would have tried out for the championship this year, but he thought he wasn't mentally prepared for the challenge.
This was the second pizza-eating contest the University of Kansas has had for homecoming, said Chris Kaufman, Denver senior and co-director of this year's homecoming. He said this year's competition was fun to watch, but it did not have at least one exciting event of last year's contest.
Overland Park Sophist. Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest is held annually at Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y., according to the International Federation of Competitive Eating. Every year, men and women gather to see how many hot dogs they can eat in 12 minutes. The current champion, 5-foot-7, 145-pound Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi, has dominated the contest for three straight years. He ate 44 and a half hot dogs at the contest this summer and his personal best is 50 and a half hot dogs.

"We had somebody puke last year," Kaufman said.

Even though no pizza came out of students' mouths, Kaufman said he was pleased with the turnout, which was bigger than last year's.
The scene of students stuffing their faces with pizza varied for each participant. Some students carefully ate one slice at a time.
slice at a time.
Others frantically folded two or three slices together and jammed them in their mouths as fast as they could. One student even took a break to answer his phone. It was a call he had to take: It was his mother.
But that half-slice was the smaller, portion of pizza left, and victory was DiCarlo's. For his victory, he received a coupon for a free pizza from Papa John's, which donated all of the 50 pizzas for the contest. DiCarlo said the coupon won't be used anytime soon.
"Faster, faster!" frequently erupted from the crowd gathered around the tables on Wescoe Beach. Some were laughing, some were disgusted and some looked just plain hungry. The love relationship between college students and pizza can be a powerful thing.
With seconds left, DiCarlo made one last attempt to devour his remaining slice, but time and stomach space were just too little. The lone half-slice remained.
"I never want to see a pizza again," DiCarlo said.

Cosby returns to campus
Cosby visited University in 1968
BY LAURIA FRANCOVIGUA
francoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Entertainers of Bill Cosby's celebrity status rarely come to the University of Kansas.
More commonly, the University brings entertainers before they reach super-celebrity status. Their talent fees are lower and their schedules aren't as booked, said Trisha Grensick. Homecoming adviser and Kansas Memorial Unions program adviser.
The Homecoming Steering Committee began brainstorming possible Homecoming entertainers last spring. Before deciding on Cosby, the committee discussed Ray Romano, Larry the Cable Guy, Wayne Brady and Dave Chapelle.
The University has seen an impressive list of comedians before they hit super-stardom status, such as Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon and Jim Carrey. Cosby also came before he was a superstar, in 1968.
Bake Chapelle was the only other entertainer the committee extended an offer to, but his agency didn't respond, Gresnick said.

All of the entertainers the committee considered were in the $100,000 price range for the talent fee. The talent fee is the entertainer's cost for a performance. The cost varies depending on the entertainers popularity and success, Gresnick said. Gresnick said keeping tickets low for students was a priority for Cosby. The talent fee is covered by $25,000 from Coca-Cola, $1,000 from Student Senate and private donations.
The Homecoming Steering Committee sent an offer letter to Cosby late in August and Cosby's agency replied with a verbal agreement two days later, she said.
She said the committee chose Cosby from the list of possibilities because he

The debate will be held tonight at Case Western University in Cleveland and will feature Republican Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic challenger, Sen. John Edwards (D - N.C.).
Diana Carlin makes a living out of studying political debates. As the dean of the graduate school and international programs and a professor of communication studies, she studies political debates and the public's reaction to them. She said the vice presidential debate
was less important than the presidential debates.
"I'm not sure that in the long run, it will make a huge difference, but it might create some momentum. The media spin has more impact than the debate itself," Carlin said.
She said the vice presidential debate does serve two primary functions. It serves as a "surrogate debate," where the vice presidential candidates can drum up support for their running mates' ideas. Secondly, it can give the public an idea of how the candidates would perform as president if needed.
She said vice presidential debates were historically more aggressive than presidential debates, and she thought that would again be the case this year. The vice-presidential candidates are usually considered apart from their running mates, so they can embellish character traits that would look like bragging if the presidential candidates did it, she said. She also said Cheney and Edwards had been more aggressive on the campaign trail.
"These two have really been the attack dogs," she said.
some memorable In 1988, Democratic Sen. Lloyd Benttsen highlighted the inexperience of his Republican challenger, Sen. Dan Quayle, with a memorable quote.
Carlin said that historically, the vice presidential debates have not affected voters one way or the other, despite some memorable moments.

Mount St. Helens threatening
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT ST. HELENS NATIONAL MONUMENT, Wash. — Mount St. Helens blew off more steam yesterday, shooting a billowing white plume several hundred feet above the volcano and thrilling hundreds of visitors who had gathered below the rumbling mountain.
"Wow. It was amazing," said 9-yearold Alex Turchiano, who watched from a nearby visitors center. "I was hoping to see lava so I could see the trees fall down and the lava flow into the water. I wanted to see what it was going to do — whether it would stop or keep going."
going. Scientists, who continued to warm that the volcano could blow at any moment, stopped short of calling the steam burst an actual eruption, saying no volcanic material apparently was emitted. The steam quickly dissipated and did not threaten any structures near Mount St. Helens.
Even if a larger eruption comes, officials say there was little or no chance of a repeat of the mountain's lethal 1980 explosion, or Hawaiian-style lava flows
Since Sept. 23, thousands of tiny earthquakes have shaken the mountain and several steam eruptions have occurred, the most seismic activity at
The eruption 24 years ago blew 1,300 feet off the top of the peak, killed 57 people and coated much of the Pacific Northwest with ash.
the peak since the months following the 1980 blast.
The latest burst came after scientists detected swelling in the 1,000-foot lava dome within the crater of the southwest Washington mountain. Steam rose to 10,000 feet, or nearly 2,000 feet above the rim.
A burst of ash and steam on Friday was followed Saturday by a smaller plume of steam and a volcanic tremor. A smaller extended volcanic vibration was detected Sunday.
"Hopefully after this clears away our crews will get a view of the crater, and the crater will probably be enlarged a bit," said U.S. Geological Survey geologist Willie Scott, who described it as a "very passive event."
Scientists speculated the steam was due to hot rock coming into contact with ice and snow contained in the glacier.
Jeff Wynn, chief scientist for volcano hazards in nearby Vancouver, Wash., said the lava dome within the crater had risen another 100 feet in the dome's southern area.
"Now most of us are convinced there's fresh magma down there," Carolyn Driedger, hydrologist, said.
"Something is driving — like a piston — something is driving up. We believe it's magma. We believe new magma is involved.
And new magma is potentially more gas rich and therefore more explosive," Wynn said.

Alex Turchiano 9-year-old observer
The action at Mount St. Helens has drawn thousands of visitors to the monument, including Patricia Cusic of Live Oak, Fla., who arrived Saturday with her daughter, and her three grandchildren who live in Arlington.
"Now we can go home and say, 'Hey, we saw a volcano erupting!' This was a good time to come," Cusic said at the Coldwater Ridge Visitors Center, about 8 1/2 miles from the rim.
During the weekend, officials shut down areas closer to the mountain as a precaution.

'K-S-U SUCKS' T-shirt raises eyebrows at Strong Hall
men and may kick.
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
francoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University Daily Kansan advertising staff thought the T-shirts that read "Without K-S-U you can't spell SUCKS" would be in good fun and in the spirit of school rivalry.
The staff understands students' perspective, said Justin Roberts, Kansan business manager. But he said he knew others had a different opinion of the T-shirts.
"I'm aware that administration is not thrilled about the shirts," Roberts, Overland Park senior, said.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, is one administrator who isn't pleased with the T-shirt. Though the ad for the T-shirt reads "show your pride," Johnson said the T-shirts put down K-State instead of showing pride for the Jayhawks. He
"T the only quarrel I have with
the T-shirts is the slogan isn't very creative. You can't spell sucks without KU either."

said he didn't think the T-shirts reflected well on students or on the athletic teams.
"I don't think it's a positive message for our student body," he said.
Johnson said the T-shirt could have used a wittier jab at K-State and had the same message of school rivalry, rather than the blatant message used.
be sold, he said, was up to the students.
Selling T-shirts for Homecoming week isn't a tradition for the Kansan advertising staff. Roberts said.
Whether the T-shirts should
Roberts said the administrators thought other T-shirts created by students were inappropriate, such as "Muck Fizzou" and "Win or lose we'll still booze," but students still sold them anyway.
Henry C. Jackson, Kansan editor, said he didn't think the T-shirts would hurt the Kansan's reputation.
On the first official day of T-shirt sales yesterday, the Kansan business office sold almost 100 T-shirts at $10 each. Roberts said the business office ordered 2,000 T-shirts.
Though the T-shirts were created for Homecoming, they

would still be on sale next week because they would be applicable year round for other games against K-State, he said.
Roberts said he had discussed giving some of the money to the Marso Fund, which would help KU graduate Andy Marso, who fought bacterial meningitis, but would need to discuss this with the Marso family first because the T-shirts had a controversial message.
Jackson said he supported the Kansan advertising staff whenever it found a new way to bring in revenue, but he thought the T-shirt needed a better slogan.

Service accused of serving alcohol to minors in sororities
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
The Panhellenic Association will vote tonight on whether to ban Jayhawk Catering from planning its events for not following chapter guidelines.
Catering company faces blacklisting
The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. at Delta Gamma, 1015 Emerv Road.
If the ban passes, sororities that already have contracts for this semester can keep them, but no further events with Jayhawk Catering will be allowed.
"Their hope is that Jayhawk Catering will see this as a learning experience," said Laura Cripple, coordinator for fraternity and sorority life.
"The issue is the chapters
will explain their policies, and they will still not be followed."
Stephanie LeClaire
Panhellenic Association vice president in charge of public relations
Cripple said concerns varied from chapter to chapter.
Jayhawk Catering rents out venues such as the Schoolhouse and the Teepee, and supervises the sale of alcohol at the parties.
Jayhawk Catering hosts events for University sorority chapters because sororities are all dry, meaning no alcohol is allowed on its property.
"I have a laundry list of concerns." Cripple said.
include underage drinking, transportation, security and unauthorized guests.
Cripple said some chapters were upset because rules they set for the catering company were not being enforced by Jayhawk Catering.
Mike Evans, owner of Jayhawk Catering, 1510 North Third Street, had no comment.
Not all chapters oppose Jayhawk Catering. Some chapters had no problems at all, said Kellie Pyle, social chair for Chi Omega.

Other chapters have not been so pleased.

Rec center report card Mission needs attention
As if the hills aren't enough, students have filled up the one-year-old Student Recreation Fitness Center, working to improve their health. Based on attendance, the student-financed recreation center has been a huge success, a visible reminder that fee hikes go somewhere. Yet one year into the University's experience with the new recreation center, gaps have been revealed that need to be filled.
The primary problem is the size of the recreation center. Plans drastically underestimated students' enthusiasm for fitness and as a result students often wait in long lines to use the facilities and machines for which they paid. Fortunately, the coming expansion addresses this lack of foresight.
A problem also reaches in the other direction. Not all students have been enfranchised by the center. Its justification, to promote healthy lifestyles at the University, has gone largely unfulfilled because the recreation center is filled with people who were already health enthusiasts.
KU FIT classes and other free services offered by the recreation center that could entice more students are being underutilized, especially those on the exercise and health-awareness periphery. Students still have not heard of the classes offered or have schedules that do not fit the meager offerings.
As the recreation center expands its mission should be modified to better reflect the needs of the entire fee-paying student body. Greater outreach and advertising could attract students who typically avoid undertaking any strenuous physical activity in an average week, helping their long-term health habits as a result.
At the end of this first year it is clear that the new center is a colossal improvement over Robinson Center. The center still needs to address its problems and fulfill its ideal mission to enhance the lives and well-being of all of the students paying fees toward it, not just the health nuts.
For the successes, but minding the failures, in it's first year, we grade the center B+.

Disabled employees face barriers
NOT UNHEARD OF
This October, the nation observes National Disability Employment Awareness Month as part of the government's effort to increase the awareness of employers and potential employees with disabilities. The University should make every effort to participate in this effort to increase awareness and prevent workplace discrimination on campus and in Lawrence.
NOT UNHEARD OF
The past ten years have brought many improvements for people with disabilities. More people with disabilities are employed than five or 10 years ago. Still, attitudes of co-workers can be a major barrier to employment for people with disabilities.
Nearly everyone with some form of disability, particularly those with sensory and mobility disabilities, has at least one story of experiencing discrimination in the workplace.
Last summer, I applied for a job as a cashier at a local grocery store where I had worked in high school. Much to my surprise, the personnel manager offered me a job as a grocery sacker. When I asked why she didn't hire me as a cashier, she cited concerns about my ability to interact with customers and having to find an interpreter for the training sessions.
Even after I reminded her that I had worked as a cashier at the same store and would not need training, she refused to consider giving me the cashier position and repeated the sacker offer. I walked away and chose not to work that summer than risk encountering anyone else with the same attitude again.
TARA SCHUPNER opinion@kansan.com
employers, when hiring and firing, often discriminate against people with disabilities due to concerns about their ability to perform physical tasks or interact with other people. Some employers also discriminate by failing to make the workplace fully accessible for employees with any kind of disability.
This discrimination obviously has detrimental effects on people with disabilities as they strive to find jobs and make enough money to support themselves.
People with disabilities have a much lower employment rate than those without disabilities. The United States Census reported that, in 1995, 82 percent of Americans without disabilities were employed. The numbers drop for people with disabilities: 77 percent with nonsevere disabilities and only 26 percent with severe disabilities are employed.
People with disabilities also earn less than people without disabilities. Men without disabilities earned about
$2,190 per month in 1995; men with nonsevere disabilities, $1,857; and men with severe disabilities, $1,262. The figures drop for women too: $1,470 per month for women without disabilities, $1,200 for women with nonsevere disabilities, and $1,000 for women with severe disabilities.
Attitudes of employers and co-workers are a major barrier to people with disabilities, according to the National Health Interview Survey, conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor. In the private sector, 22 percent of people with disabilities cited attitudes as a barrier. In the public sector, the percentage increases to 43 percent.
We all, as current or future employers and co-workers of people with disabilities, owe it to them and to ourselves to be open-minded about their talents and capabilities. They could surprise you and even teach you many lessons.
Before you decide that someone can't do a job because of their disability, stop and think about the possibility that you may be preventing that person from achieving his full potential. With examples like these people, who knows what that full potential may be.
Take for example a few people with disabilities who made their mark on the world: Walt Disney, Stevie Wonder, Helen Keller, John Updike, Stephen Hawking, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Reeve and even Franklin Delanor Roosevelt.

Unnecessary photograph depicted animal cruelty
Dear editors,
I am writing in response to the photograph that appeared on the front page of the Sept. 30 edition of the Kansan. The photo, titled "Gator-aid", featured a man holding a small mouse directly above the gaping mouth of his pet caiman.
I doubt that I stand alone in feeling emotionally disturbed at this site. This is not what occurs in nature. In nature every creature has a chance. It is wrong to "bait" an animal, and even worse to subject others to unavoidable viewing of this disgusting display of human cruelty.
I see no need to place a large picture of a helpless creature struggling for its last seconds of life on the front page of the paper.
There is no difference between placing this picture on the front page and placing a photograph of a hostage just before being beheaded on it.
This picture was useless as well as tasteless.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kisha Steineger Kansas City, Kan., senior
Voters should search for truth before presidential election
Dear editors,
This letter is to encourage all Americans to become informed on the issues and the candidates before casting their votes on Nov. 2.
Our right to choose those who govern us goes to the essence of being an American.
Too many people, however, are choosing who they will vote for, and forming their opinions on the issues, without taking the time to thoughtfully consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances.
I urge all voters to avoid the party line, whichever party that may be, and take the time to inform themselves on the issues and the candidates.
Democrats and Republicans alike allow their political bias to rob them of the right to make informed decisions on Election Day.
TUE
Choose what you believe is the best for yourself and the country. Try
Resist the impulse to make snap judgments based on party propaganda.
Independently consider the facts and allow knowledge, not bias, to guide your choices.

Victor of presidential debate easily identified by viewers
Dear editors,
My informal interviews after the debate caught something the Kansan missed ("Debate shows clash of views" on Oct. 1). Everyone I spoke to had the same observation: that Kerry was answering the questions, while Bush was repeating the same phrases over and over.
For instance, Bush said that being President "is hard work" so often that I wondered if he doesn't find the job too hard. Maybe someone else could handle it better?

Pair to share Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden American researchers Dr. Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine yesterday for their work on the sense of smell.
Axel, 58, of Columbia University in New York, shared the $1.3 million prize with Buck, 57, of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Both are investigators with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Their genetic work revealed a family of proteins in the nose that recognizes odors, and they illuminated how the information is transmitted to the brain, letting it perceive and remember smells.
Axel and Buck clarified the intricate biological pathway from the nose to the brain that lets people recognize smells.
A whiff of an odor brings a mix of different molecules into the nose, where each molecule activates several odor receptors.
Buck said she did not know she was under consideration.
This pattern of activation is interpreted by the brain, letting people identify and form memories of about 10,000 different odors, the Nobel Assembly said.
Academy members said the decision to give the pair the award was not in light of any medical or commercial payoffs, but honored their exploration of one of the humanity's most profound senses.
When asked if he had thought about becoming a Nobel laureate, he replied: "No, this is nothing I have been thinking about, I think about my science."
For two scientists to singlehandedly map one of the major human senses is unique in the history of science, Nobel assembly chairman Goeran Hansson said.
Figuring out the human nose took longer than understanding our eyes and ears because it needed modern microbiology and DNA technology to find the microscopic cells and proteins, he said.
Throughout the 1980s, scientists offered several theories of how people perceive odors, most of which were "ill-founded and wrong," said Sten Grillner, deputy chairman of the assembly. "This system was completely unknown before" Axel's and Buck's discoveries.
The assembly said it was still unclear what the medical and scientific implications of their discoveries will be, but that the work could affect areas as diverse as psychology and cooking, as scent and taste are deeply connected.
The awards always are presented on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death in 1896.

students. The KU Writing Center, the Provost's office and the Office for Student Success were a few departments with representatives who attended the event.
The informal gathering was a good opportunity for the Chancellor to meet students, student organizations and leaders and share his views on diversity, Robert Page, director of office of multicultural affairs, said.
New KU students got a chance to see the people and resources available to them at the University.
"It is nice to know that the faculty and staff do support you, that they understand that this is a transitional period," Victoria Faulkner, Junction City freshman, said.
Emily Chao, Overland Park freshman, said it was interesting to meet some of the people on campus that she heard about but never saw.
"It's interesting to see the people face-to-face, they're not just names on paper," she said.
Being welcomed by the Chancellor is something special. Ballard said.
Ten years ago the Chancellor's reception was just an idea to Barbara Ballard, Dole Institute of Politics associate director.
Ballard, who was the associate dean of student life, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and a supervisor for the Office of Multicultural Affairs, thought of the idea: a reception for minority students to get together and to get involved. The Chancellor offered to host the reception and the tradition has continued.

The tradition began as four individual receptions, with each multicultural group separately. Ballard said that she
"It says that he puts you at a high priority and that you're considered important," Ballard said. "How many people can say they've been to the Chancellor's residence?"
Not only were students invited for this event, though. The Chancellor extended an invitation for students to feel welcome coming to the house.
"KU is a university for all the people of Kansas and this is a house for all the people of Kansas," Hemenway said.
But the Chancellor did have one disclaimer. Students who take him up on the opportunity to stop by should be warned: 2 a.m. is not a good time, he said.

Quayle said he had served as long as John F. Kennedy, and Bentsen responded with "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. And Senator, you're no jack Kennedy."
Carlin said this moment, while it did serve to underscore Quayle's relative inexperience, didn't matter for Bentsen and his running mate, Michael Dukakis, in the long

DEBATE: Little at stake during VP debate

He agreed that the vice presidential debate probably wouldn't matter too much for the eventual outcome directly.
But he said that it had the potential to energize the core base of support for both sides,
which could affect the outcome of the election.
"I think the most important thing to come out of this debate is how the media rates it," Joslyn said.
He said he looked forward to seeing how Cheney would defend his connection to Halliburton, the oil company given contracts in Iraq, and how the Edwards would try and counter Cheney's experience in government.

costs included travel and lodging expenses for his flight crew while Cosby performs because Cosby would not be staying overnight in Lawrence.
To pay for these costs and the added cost to use Allen Fieldhouse for the night, the Homecoming Steering Committee is counting on ticket and T-shirt sales.
Along with the contract, a rider is negotiated with the entertainer's agent.
The rider contains the specific information for the show including the performers' personal needs and stage set up instructions.
Dawn Shew, Student Union Activities program adviser, said artists often didn't know all of the contents of the contract or rider.
She said artists usually would let agents work out all of the details. She said that strange requests sometimes appeared in riders.
When she negotiated a contract with the alternative band Fastball, she said the rider asked for tube socks because the band couldn't wash them on the road.
Though Cosby's rider doesn't ask for tube socks, it does ask for a few other things that aren't so strange.
Gresnick said Cosby's agents asked that, the University present him with a "Hello Friend" shirt with the KU logo and a

Jayhawk sweatsuit.
Cosby's agency requests these as a favor from all of the universities that Cosby performs, she said.
The "Hello Friend" shirt has a history. Cosby's son, Ennis, who was killed in 1997, would always greet friends, both old and new, by saying "Hello friend," according to the Hello Friend Web site.
The shirt and a foundation set up by Cosby was created with this saying in memory of Ennis.
Cosby's rider also has agreement for a reception after his performance.
Representatives from the student body, including Jayhawk athletes from the football and basketball teams, representatives from Student Senate and the Homecoming Steering Committee, are invited to the reception.
Gresnick said the reception, sweatsuit and the "Hello Friend" shirt are ways the University would honor Cosby for coming.
The University has a history of bringing performers to campus for homecoming week, according to the Homecoming Steering Committee Web site.
TICKET INFORMATION
Tickets are still available for Bill Cosby's 90-minute comedy routine. The Allen Fieldhouse event, at 8 p.m. tonight, opens at 6:30 p.m. The price for students is $15 with a KUID and $25 for nonstudents. Tickets are available at the SUA box office on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union and in Allen Fieldhouse before the show.
The Web site said that Bob Hope, Sonny and Cher and B.B. King were past entertainers during homecoming week in the '70s and '80s.
Homecoming became stagnant during the '90s, according to the Homecoming Steering Committee's Web site.
Hosting performers such as Cosby is part of the plan to rekindle homecoming traditions at the University, said Richard Johnson, dean of students and adviser of the Homecoming Steering Committee.
"It plays a large role in retention while here and being a good alum," Johnson said.
He said the purpose of homecoming was to invite " 'Hawks near and far home."

Jayhawk Idol hits the Beach
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2004
Jayhawk Idol finalist Kasey Cullors, Wichita freshman, sings the University of Kansas Alma Mater and a portion of His Eye on the Sparrow yesterday afternoon on Wesco Beach. Fourteen students auditioned on Saturday to be a Jayhawk Idol, and nine were selected as finalists Jayhawk Idol is the University's spin-off of the television show American Idol. To prove their talent, finalists have to sing on Wesco Beach. Three contestants sang yesterday, three will sing today and three tomorrow at 12:20 p.m. on Wesco Beach. Also up yesterday was Mike Barry, Dallas sophomore, who sang the Alma Mater and a portion of 'I'll Be,' by Edwin McCain, and DeAndrea Herron, San Antonio junior, who sang the Alma Mater and a portion of 'Can't Give Up.' by Mary Mary. Cullors, known as Little Luther; some students in the crowd, said the competition was pretty tough, but it was a fun way to get students involved with homecoming. One of the judges, Jennifer Alderdice, homecoming adviser, said each performer was different, but good in his or her own way. The judges didn't offer feedback to the performers because they didn't want to be rude or mean like Simon Cowell, an American Idol judge, Alderdice said. The winner of Jayhawk Idol will sing the national anthem at the first men's home basketball game, an exhibition on Sunday, Nov. 7, against Emporia State University.

U.S. Supreme Court back in session
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court returned for another term yesterday and appeared poised to alter the system used for sentencing 64,000 federal criminal defendants a year.
Justice Antonin Scalia said that lucky accused criminals went before merciful judges.
The unlucky, he said, could face a "hanging judge."
The Supreme Court tackled two follow-up appeals to a June ruling in which the court struck down state sentencing systems that gave judges too much leeway, on the opening day of a nine-month term.
Judges, not juries, make factual decisions that affect prison time, such as the amount of drugs involved in a crime, the number of victims in a fraud or whether a defendant committed perjury during trial.

Car bombers flout U.S. efforts to stop terrorism
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Insurgents unleashed a pair of powerful car bombs yesterday near the symbol of U.S. authority in Iraq — the Green Zone, where the U.S. Embassy and key government
offices are located一and hotels occupied by hundreds of foreigners. Three other explosions brought the day's bombing toll to at least 24 dead and more than 100 wounded.
More than three dozen car bombings since the beginning of September illustrate the militants' seeming ability to strike at will despite recent pledges by the United States and Iraq to intensify the suppression of insurgents.

SpaceShipOne wins X Prize
MOJAVE, Calif. — A stout, star-spangled rocket plane broke through the Earth's atmosphere to the edge of space yesterday for the second time in five days, capturing a $10 million prize aimed at opening the final frontier to tourists.
SpaceShipOne — with test pilot Brian Binnie at the controls then glided safely back to Earth.
The privately built SpaceShipOne took off underneath the belly of a mother plane that carried it about nine miles over the Mojave Desert. From there, SpaceShipOne fired its engine and streaked skyward at about three times the speed of sound on a half-hour flight that took it more than 62 miles high, generally considered the point where space begins.
Katie Hine called it a "fantastic experience" — especially the sight of Earth from space. "There is darkness outside the windows," he said. "It's contrasted starkly by the bright pearl that is the greater California area, which is the view from up there."
"This is the true frontier of transportation," said Marion C. Blakey, head of the Federal Aviation Administration, who stood near the runway to watch the flight. "It feels a little bit like Kitty Hawk must have."
The reward for the achievement is the $10 million Ansari X Prize, created in 1996 to kickstart the development of privately built rocket ships that could make spaceflight available to the public.
To win the prize, a spacecraft capable of carrying three people had to make two flights to an altitude just over 62 miles within two weeks. The goal was to show that the rocket could go back and forth like a spaceliner.
About an hour after the space-
ship landed, X Prize founder
Peter Diamandis said the altitude was official, and declared SpaceShipOne's team the winner.
X Prize chief judge Rick Searfoss said the spacecraft reached a height of 367,442 feet and speeds of Mach 3.09 during ascent and Mach 3.26 on the way down.
Major funding for the prize came from the Ansari family of Dallas. Diamandis hoped the St. Louis-based Ansari X Prize would have the same effect on space travel as the Orteig Prize had on air travel more than 80 years ago. Charles Lindbergh claimed that $25,000 prize in 1927 after making his solo trans-Atlantic flight.
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who put more than $20 million into the project, watched Monday's flight from the control room.
"Your heart goes straight to your throat," he said.
The total cost of the project has not been released, but Rutan jokingly noted to Allen yesterday that the $10 million prize covered 40 percent of Allen's costs. That would make Allen's investment $25 million.
The prize money will be spread among the employees of Rutan's company. Scaled Composites, Rutan said.
SpaceShipOne's effort has drawn high-level attention from the U.S. government, and comes at a time when others are preparing for space tourism.
NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe came to Mojave to watch last week's flight, and the FAA and members of the industry are in talks about regulatory aspects of space tourism, particularly the safety of people on the ground as well as that of the passengers.
The first flight needed to win the X Prize took place on Wednesday, with test pilot Michael Melvill at the controls.

"Our defense got turnovers and did a good job tonight and against both the run on the pass," coach Mark Mangino said. "Our defense played well enough to win. The bottom line is that Nebraska's offense ran into a good defense, and our offense ran into a good defense."
The Jayhawks continued their streak of consecutive losses to Nebraska on Saturday.
This Saturday, they will revisit another losing streak when the Kansas State Wildcats come to town.

Kansas is 33-0 against K-State when they have scored 23 or more points. The Kansas offense averages about 28 points per game this season.
In both of their losses this season, KState's defense has allowed more than 40 points — Fresno State scored 45 and Texas A&M scored 42.
Also in Kansas' favor is a weak K-State defense, which has allowed an average of 30 points per game this season, about 14 more points per game than the 16.3 they averaged last year.

Bradpitts gets a full house and knocks swodog28 out of the game. He jumps a little in his chair, making his long blonde hair swing up.
It's 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Before the night is through, Bradpitts will win the 10-person, $10 buy-in, no limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament, and the tournament's $40 prize.
Two guys in blue togas, breaking between parties, stand behind him giving advice as each card is turned by an invisible hand.
Bradpitts sits on the edge of his wooden chair, shirtless, yelling at his computer screen.
Bradpitts is one of many KU students who partake in one of the fastest growing pastimes on the Internet; virtual poker.
He asked that his online alias be used in place of his name because online poker is illegal by federal law.
"Ha ha, sucker," he said. "I'm on a hot streak."
The Federal Wire Wager Act, amended in 1994, prohibited betting over any "wire wagering facility," including the Internet, according to the Kansas Gaming Commission.

Fans key to Hawk victory Saturday
This is a season on the brink.
Its offense has, too, only it's gone straight backwards.
In fact, during their 11-year run, the Wildcats have outscored the Jayhawks 460-97.
With a 2-3 record, including an 0-2 conference mark, every game from now until Nov. 20 is important. Few, however, may reveal as much about the team's progress as this Saturday's game against Kansas State.
"We have to be able to prove on Saturday that this rivalry can be a good one," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
Five games in with six to go, Kansas' defense has moved miles since last season.
Some of the defeats have been close, such as a 10-9 defeat in '93, but most have been lopsided in the Wildcats' favor.
For the last 11 years, the Jayhawks have fallen to the purple plague from just down I-70.
K-State is only 2-2 overall, 0-1 in the Big 12, and seems to be going through growing pains as it endeavors to integrate younger players into its mix, giving Kansas a chance to find success in the Sunflower Showdown.
What may be most important for Kansas this season is that the team has a defense that can face the K-State juggernaut.
This season, the KU defense has held its opponents to an average of just 16.4 points per game.
K-State coach Bill Snyder gave credit for the defensive improvements to increased speed and players sticking to their assignments.

Nonstudent football tickets discounted for K-State game
The Kansas Athletics Department announced yesterday that certain members of the KU community would be eligible for discounts on tickets to the football game against Kansas State on Saturday.
According to Assistant Athletics Director Jim Marchiony, there will be a $20 discount for all University faculty and staff. The discount will also apply to family members of current University students.
The regular nonstudent ticket price for Saturday's game is $65, $30 more than Kansas' other home games this season. The Athletics Department hopes to capitalize on the number of Kansas State fans who come to Lawrence for the game.
In addition to this discount, fans can purchase a mini-pack with tickets to the K-State, Colorado and Texas games for just $105, $30 less than the cost of buying three individual tickets for those games. Regular season tickets are $185.
Tickets are available by calling 1- 800-34HAWKS, as well as at www.kuathetics.com or by going to the east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse. Jonatha Kealing
Anyone with questions about, or wanting to use the $20 discount should contact the ticket office by phone or in person.

Major League Baseball postseason begins today
By B.J. RAINS
sports@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
During the next month, Major League Baseball will take center stage. The playoffs begin this afternoon with eight teams fighting for the ultimate goal — a trip to the World Series.
The St. Louis Cardinals enter the playoff with the best record in baseball, but since 1995 only one team — the 1998 New York Yankees — had the best regular season record and went on to win the World Series.
They have three Most Valuable Player candidates in Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds. All three players have more than 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. Add in Larry Walker, Edgar Renteria and Reggie Sanders, and the Cardinals have the best offense in the National League.
Today
MLB SCHEDULE
The Cardinals' Woody Williams will pitch in game one against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers, which will counter with the soft-tossing left-handed pitcher Odalis Perez, clinched the NL West title on Saturday with a walkoff grand slam by Steve Finley. Finley, acquired on July 21 from the Diamondbacks, has 46 RBI in 57 games with the Dodgers.
Minnesota (Santana 20-
6) at New York (Mussina
12-9). 7:19 p.m. (FOX)
"Larry Walker, Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds in one lineup? Are you joking? They have an all-star team, and I predict them to win it all," Joel Balzer, Whitewater freshman, said.
The Houston Astros enter the post season as baseball's hottest team. Their 36-10 record since mid-August is the best in baseball, and propelled them into the

playoffs.
The Astros face the Atlanta Braves, which recently clinched its 13th straight division title. An off-season trade for right fielder J.D. Drew paid dividends for the Braves. Drew hit .506 in the regular season, with 31 homeruns and 93 RBI. The Braves will start 15 game winner Jaret Wright in game one, and the Astros will counter with 6 time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens.
The Associated Press
"The Astros, in my opinion, are the better team. They have played harder teams, and are hot right now," Keaton Mishler, Lawrence freshman, said. "The Braves pitching staff isn't what it once was and the NL East is one of the weakest divisions in baseball."
In the American League, the New York Yankees have the best
record, and will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs because the AL won the All-Star Game. Questions surround its pitching staff as it enters the postseason. Mike Mussina will start game one for the Bronx Bombers, but the rest of its pitching rotation is up in the air. Kevin Brown, Orlando Hernandez and Javier Vasquez all struggled this season, and its effectiveness in the postseason is in doubt. The crucial factor in the series may be the greatest postseason closer in the history of baseball, the Yankees' Mariano Rivera.
SAILS
New York will host the Minnesota Twins in the first round. The Twins have the best pitcher in baseball with Johan Santana. Santana, the favorite for the AL Cy Young Award, is 20-6. If the Twins are to have any chance of beating the Yankees, they need a victory from Santana in game one.
The Associated Press
The Associated Press
As the wild card winner, they will open the playoffs on the road in Anaheim. The Angels.
"The Yankees are America's team. I hate them, but they will probably win it all, like they always do," Chris Harber, Carlinville, Ill., freshman said.
Houston Astros' Mike Gallo, top left, jumps up onto pitcher Brad Lidge, as they celebrate their 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies last Sunday in Houston, to win the National League wild card spot.
Minnesota Twins' Michael Cuddyer, shown watching his solo home run off Cleveland Indians' Cliff Lee last Sunday in Minneapolis, will start at second base in place of injured Luis Rivas when the Twins meet the New York Yankees today in New York for the first game of the American League Division Series.
When Curt Schilling was traded to the Boston Red Sox in the offseason, the Red Sox immediately became the favorites in the American League. It may be the wild card winner, but with Schilling and Pedro Martinez, it has what it takes to break the postseason curse and advance to the World Series. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz are both MVP candidates for the Sox, which for the first time in years, have a proven closer in Keith Foulke.
which won the World Series as the wild card team in 2002, have an MVP candidate of their own, in Vladimir Guerrero. Guerrero, who signed with the Angels as a free agent in the offseason, carried the Angels on his back during the last week of the regular season, hitting six home runs in the last seven games of the season to help them clinch the AL West title. It will be Curt Schilling and Jared Washburn in game one.
"The Red Sox have what it takes to win in the playoffs: power pitching." Matt Bradbury, Olathe freshman, said. "Schilling and Pedro should propel the Sox past the Angels and
Yankees, and into the World Series."
The Cardinals and Dodgers will play the first game of the playoffs today at noon on ESPN, from Busch Stadium in St. Louis. The Angels will host the Red Sox at 3 p.m. on ESPN, and the Twins and Yankees will play in prime time at 7 p.m. on FOX. The Astros will open up at 3
p. m. in Atlanta tomorrow, on ESPN.
"There isn't one clear-cut favorite. Every team has a chance," said Kansas City, Mo., junior Steve Wallace. "It should be a lot of fun, and I look forward to the games beginning this afternoon."

Baseball playoffs ready relief from struggling football team
With the Kansas baseball team kicking off its fall exhibition season this past weekend, we can only look forward to the this year's team adding to its back-to-back 30-win seasons. Until the regular season begins in February, baseball fans should tune in to what should be an exciting postseason in Major League Baseball.
Most sports pundits contend that every year is the best in a particular sport. This of course was, "the best season ever." Not that it wasn't good, but I hate that the media has to label each season as "the best." As the regular season came to a close yesterday and the playoff picture became clear, it's time to take a
INSIDE THE PARK

look back at the dog days of summer.
Let me be the first to apologize to all the Chicago Cubs fans out there. After a year in which they were expected to contend for the World Series, the Cubs were beaten out for the National League Wild Card spot by the Houston Astros, that won its
tinal seven games of the season,
and the division title by the St.
Louis Cardinals that won a
league-high 105 games. Cubs
fans all over the world have to
repeat what has become their
mantra: "Wait till next year."
In the NL West, the San Francisco Giants were left out of the postseason by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that doesn't diminish the record-setting season Barry Bond put up. At 40, Bonds continues to get more God-like as he makes the impossible a reality. He became the third member of the 700 home-run club on Sept. 17. He finished the season with 45 home runs and 702 for his career, 12 behind Babe Ruth and 53 behind all-time
leader Hank Aaron.
The Atlanta Braves won the NL. East division for the 13th consecutive year. On May 18, it didn't look like the Braves had a chance to contend for the title, as they were the victim of Randy Johnson's perfect game. Johnson became the oldest man at age 40 to throw a perfect game, the 17th in Major League history. It was the first since 1999.
In the American League East, the Yankees made the playoffs for the eight millionth time, even though some of its best players were hurt or didn't produce most of the season. This included its best pitcher, Kevin Brown, who missed considerable time largely because of a broken hand he suffered punching a clubhouse wall. No matter, they're the Yankees and they always win.
The Anaheim Angels won the AL West, but didn't overshadow the Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki. Ichiro broke George Sisler's 1920 hit record of 257 in a season. Ichiro ended the year with 262 hits, 225 of which were singles. The Angels will face the AL Wild Card winner, those resilient Boston Red Sox, in the first round of the playoffs. Unlike its cursed counterparts in the south side of Chicago, Boston faithful have at the least another two weeks before their hearts are broken.
The Minnesota Twins used the Kansas City Royals along
with the rest of the sorry division as a punching bag along their march to the AL Central title. Eventual Cy Young award winner Johan Santana is the only hope for a team that will be embarrassed by the Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.
If you're like me, you're probably tired of watching the offensive ineptitude of our football team. If you're looking for a break from the disaster that is quickly becoming KU's football season, check out postseason baseball. If nothing else, it should be one of the best play-offs ever.

Today's Birthday (Oct. 5).
This year is about learning to take orders — and learning when to talk and when to keep still. The lesson isn't an easy one, but it's valuable.
Unfortunately, you'll be learning through experience — but at least you're a quick study.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6.
Your temper may be rather short. Be careful not to make too much of a ruckus before you have all the facts. Wait until you know what you're talking about.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Although your routine has been working well, there may be another way. A friend can help you upgrade your standards to a whole new level.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is an 8.
Did you hit the jackpot? It looks like more money's coming in — without you doing any more work. Maybe you're finally getting paid for work already done.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7.
HOROSCOPES
You have a lot more influence than you may realize. Speak with authority, and you may be pleasantly surprised.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7.
Deadlines are looming so no more excuses. Minimize distractions. That includes chatting on the phone with relatives. Call them the day after tomorrow.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
Friends can help you stay on budget with a few helpful hints. You're good at pinching pennies, but you can always learn from a master. And you know somebody like that.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Todav is a 7.
The person who signs your pay-
check, or a reasonable facsimile,
would like a strict accounting
of how you've spent your time
and money. Got the answers?
Get 'em, and make points.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 6.
Although you're still being pressured to make all sorts of decisions, you have a secret that
keeps you happy. You have a hidden advantage.
Saggittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Togav is a 7.
Although it's good to get out with your friends, don't start thinking you're made of money. They'll love you even if you don't pay their way. So don't.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7.
you may feel rather agitated and eager to take action. Don't react to pressure from above or from a partner. Well, the partner actually could be right.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8.
The workload's increasing and interfering with your other plans. It'll be much easier to get away in a couple of days. The others will understand.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6.
Things might not be exactly right yet, but it's time to hold a conference with loved ones, roommates and whoever else might give you encouragement. Don't even ask any of the others.

POKER: Legal poker site awards scholarships
CONTINUED FROM 1B
PartyPoker.com, has grown to host 55,000 players during peak hours. The site, created in 2001, boasts a whopping 1,500 percent traffic increase in the last year. Other widely used poker Web sites include PokerRoom.com, PacificPoker.com and UltimateBet.com.
Bradpitts said he plays online mostly because it's convenient. He can enter a 10-person table at any time, and he doesn't need cash on hand. He transfers money directly to the site from his bank account.
But there are disadvantages to online poker. Besides being illegal, playing against unknown opponents takes some elements out of the game, like the need for a poker face. Also, it is possible

TRAINING: Players build strength, endurance
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Due to the demands of basketball on an athlete, the program involves many sport-specific exercises in terms of injury prevention.
One main cause for concern with women's basketball is the non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury.
But the groin, hamstring, hip and torso are also areas of focus for Hudy.
Outside of injury prevention, the focal point of the training is strength and endurance.
Early in the training cycle, Hudy has the players working on capacity and endurance so they are ready to handle the rigors of both the regular season and the lengthy practices that accompany the game scheduling.
"We're doing a lot of circuit training that keeps the heart rate elevated." Hudy said. "They're
"My biggest challenge is to
keep them consistent and their biggest challenge is to be consistent."

working at about 170 beats per minute for an hour."
The continuous nature of the exercise is working toward building strength and gives the athlete virtually no rest between sets.
"My biggest challenge is to
keep them consistent and their biggest challenge is to be consistent," Hudy said.
Staying at a high level for the duration of the training is a goal that requires motivation, which requires teamwork and encouragement from teammates.
"Peer pressure can be the worst type of pressure there is," Hudy said. "I tend to try them to be accountable."
Despite the fact that the team is in the offseason period, the players still maintain their focus on the importance of the regular season.
With a small roster, the Jayhawks put an even larger emphasis on physical preparation.
"We need to be in better condition than the teams we play against," Brown said. "We only have 10 people."

KEALING: Give football team one more chance
CONTINUED FROM 1B
"They really do a nice job of coaching that defense," Snyder said.
What really has to bother Kansas football fans, not to mention players and coaches, is the fact that the team is really only three plays away from a 5-0 record, likely a national ranking and a real chance at a trip to the Big 12 Conference Championship game.
With three losses, and dates with No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 5 Texas to come, Kansas' hopes of a trip to the title game are pretty well dashed, but it can still mark a milestone in its turnaround by beating K-State.
That being said, this weekend's game against K-State gives the student body a chance to make a difference.
In close games, fan support can often be the difference. Kansas fans showed that they will come out, especially for the first two games.
After three straight losses, though, they may be less enthusiastic.
Don't give up yet. Give the football team one more chance to prove that it is a team on the up-and-up.
The Kansas Athletics Department increased the price of regular tickets for this Saturday's game to $65 per seat, to capitalize on the K-Staters who venture to Lawrence and try to turn Memorial Stadium purple.
Students, on the other hand, pay the same price for all of their tickets, and boy, is it a bargain. At just $35 for tickets to all six home games, it's a steal.
Students at Kansas State pay between $143 and $173, depending on seat quality, for seven games.
At Nebraska, it's $126 for six games, while at Oklahoma, six games are $107.
If you have tickets, this is an opportunity to take advantage of a bargain. If you don't have tickets, there are still a few available. Most importantly, if you have tickets but don't use them, find someone who will.
This is going to be a weekend for good football.
Win or lose, this program is improving, and this is one of its last, best, shots to prove it. Kickoff on Saturday is at 6:20 p.m.

'Apprentice to speak at Union

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
NAS
Bill Rancie will speak for an hour beginning at 8 p.m. at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Rancic will deliver a speech called "Lessons from the Boardroom" as part of Homecoming festivities at the University of Kansas.
A. WILLIAMS
The organizers are paying Rancic, last season's The Apprentice victor, $12.000 plus travel
RANCIC
$12,000 plus expenses to appear, according to contracts obtained from Student Union Activities.
Famed comedian and actor Bill Cosby speaks to an audience. Last night's event was held at Allen Fieldhouse.
The homecoming committee has worked since April to bring Rancic to campus, said Keith Ellis, special events tri-chairman for the homecoming committee. He said the committee wanted someone with popular appeal who would also be educational and timely.
Ellis said Rancic was a good choice because of the popularity of NBC's The Apprentice and Rancic's experience in the business world.
Student Senate allocated $5,500 for Ranici's visit, but because his speech is to attend, the rest of the money will come from Bill Cosby's ticket sales, student fees and T-shirt sales.
Rancic auditioned for both The Apprentice and The Bachelor but said he was happy with the outcome.
Kansan staff writer Austin Caster had an interview via e-mail with Rancic.
Q: Do you think The Apprentice is an accurate representation of what it's like in the business world?
A: I think it is a pretty close replica of the business world. It is hard to recreate things exactly, but they came close.
Q: What other universities have you spoken at, and what's the most common question you get? What's the strangest question?

Classic Cosby
Comedian pleases crowd at Allen Fieldhouse
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA

KANSAN STUFF WRITER
Bill Cosby's expressions were worth thousands of laughs, and Allen Fieldhouse erupted in laughter last night.
Cosby surpassed expectations, said Robyn Shaver, Wichita sophomore.
"Bill Cosby's been my hero since I was born," she said. "His sense of
humor is timeless."
And it was. Cosby's jokes hit from from pre-puberty to to the ails of old age.
Shaver said her her favorite part of the show was the "finger-tongue." Cosby used his finger to demonstrate how the girl of his dreams kissed him during a game of spin the bottle.
batting during a game. When Cosby was 13, he only had eyes for one girl: Doris Mann. At his friend Boogy's birthday party, he finally got a chance to kiss her.
I got a chance to lose it.
"I just loved her" Cosby said.
She kissed him first on the lips, but then Cosby described how she began to french kiss him. Instead of telling, all Cosby had to do was wiggle his finger in his mouth, and the audience understood. Cosby said he and his childhood friend had made a pact against kissing that way.

"The senator has got his facts wrong. We've never let up on Osama bin Laden from day one. We've actively and aggressively pursued him."
■ "If they couldn't stand up to pressures that Howard Dean represented, how can we expect them to stand up to Al Qaeda?"
EDWARDS
- "Mr. Vice President, I don't think the country can take four more years of this type of experience."

Ministry of Education
Consul General Takao Shibata, of the
Consulate General of Japan at Kansas
City, Mo., presented a Foreign
Minister's Commendation yesterday to
Drs. Elaine Gerbert and William
Tutsui, directors of the Center for East
Asian Studies. The commendation was
presented at Chancellor Robert
Hemenway's house.
On March 31, the ministry of foreign affairs released a list of 150 commendations to celebrate the 150th anniversary of relations between the United States and Japan.
The Center has never received an honor of this prominence, Tsutsui said. The Center is a federally designated national resource center funded by the U.S. Department of Education and a recipient of numerous grants and funds.
"It is a tremendous honor and affirmation of what we've been doing the last 45 years, studying Japan and East Asia," Tsutsui said. "It really is a big deal for us."

Hemenway said the commendation acknowledged the University's commitment to take an active role in international relationships.
In 1959, George Beckman, a profes sor of Japanese history, received a $1 million Ford Foundation grant to create the Center for East Asian Studies.
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology and a co-founder of the Center, said Beckman came to Tokyo, where
At the time the Center was created, the National Defense Education Act was in place, largely in response to the Russian satellite Sputnik, Moos said. The United States realized the need for scientists, engineers and people who spoke a variety of languages, and that idea was extended to universities, he said. The chancellor at the time, W. Clarke Wescoe, challenged Moos and Grant Goodman, a professor of
But Moos came to Kansas anyway in the fall of 1961. Shortly after, the University established the department of East Asian Languages and Cultures.

Windmills unwanted
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COTTONWOOD FALLS — A Florida company that wants to make use of the winds blowing across the Great Plains to generate electricity has taken Chase County off its list of potential locations.
The idea of 400-foot tall wind turbines dotting the scenic Flint Hills raised concerns from many in Kansas, including Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
"You don't put them on the edge of the Grand Canyon and you don't put them in the Flint Hills," said Larry Patton, a Chase County landowner.
In the face of opposition, Florida Power and Light Co. announced last week it has shelved its plans for Chase County.
Company spokesman Steve Stenge said because one of its customer needs the power from a wind farm next year, "we didn't have the time to let the debate or discussion play itself out." He said the company is looking elsewhere in Kansas and surrounding states for a place to locate a wind farm.
Stengel wouldn't offer specifics, but also wouldn't rule out taking another look at Chase County some time in the future, calling it a good location.
Sebellius" spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said the governor "has been pretty clear" about asking companies interested in developing projects in the Flint Hills to show restraint until a consensus can be reached on how to protect the tallgrass prairie.
In June, the Wind and Prairie Task Force appointed by the governor came up with three recommendations for preserving the grassland, identifying protected areas and perhaps reconsidering the permanent tax exemption now available for wind farm development.
Supporters of wind energy view it as a method of generating revenue for developers and user fees for land owners. The Flint Hills area in Kansas is viewed as the best location in the state not only because of consistent winds, but also its proximity to existing transmission lines.
That kind of money "can make you sit up and pay attention," Rick Weiss, superintendent, said.
Not everyone welcomed the news that Florida Power and Light had decided against trying to proceed in Chase County. The company would have made annual payments of about $500,000 in lieu of property taxes for the next 25 years, with almost $200,000 going to the Chase County school system.
"Those were things that we needed and could provide the educational opportunities to our students that we know that would have enabled them to become more successful." Weiss said.
He said the district could have used that money to maintain an after-school program that loses its funding this year, as well as to start a preschool program and buy one or two new buses each year.
Stengel also said his company would have given another $425,000 to buy and preserve tallgrass prairie somewhere in the Flint Hills, Stengel said.
He said that a wind farm would provide "quite an economic boost to the county," but added, "you can't sell our soul."
Recommendations from the governor's task force are to be implemented by the Kansas Energy Council, with guidance to protect the tallgrass prairie while also aggressively promoting wind farm development.
The council must decide how much of the Flint Hills, and which parts of the area, should be protected from development.
"it's definitely too early to make that decision," said Lee Allison, the council chairman.
Man guilty for terror remarks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — An Olathe man who told co-workers that another terrorist attack was going to hit the United States and said all Americans should die was guilty of disorderly conduct, the Kansas Court of Appeals ruled.
In a decision mailed to attorneys Monday, the appeals court upheld a Johnson County judge's ruling that the Nadar Matanagh Sokhanvar's words in September 2002 were criminal behavior and not protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
On Sept. 12, 2002, 31-year-old Sokhanvar told a co-worker at Marley Cooling Technologies in Olathe that something was going to happen to "all the United States" five days later. That worker and another also reported that Sokhanvar previously made statements praising Osama bin Laden and said all Americans should die.
Sokhanvar, who came to the United States from Iran in 2000, was convicted in Johnson County District Court of a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He was given a suspended 30-day jail sentence.
His attorney, Rebecca Brock, argued before the appeals court that the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Sokhanvar's statements constituted "fighting words," which previous courts have defined as inciting people to the point that they are ready to fight. That didn't happen in this case, Brock argued.

Assistant dean was 'true Jayhawk'
BY LAURA FRANCOVILLA
lffrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Without her husband, Phyllis Wolf said she would need to buy an encyclopedia.
She said her husband, John Wolf, often used the saying, "little-known facts about lesser-known things."
He knew every battle of the Civil War and could name any train by looking at only the numbers on front, she said.
Wolf was the assistant dean of continuing education at the University of Kansas for 30 years. He died Sept. 27 at age 63 at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.
"He was red and blue," she
said, "a true Jayhawk. He was one of the brightest men I've ever met in my entire life. He could do almost anything."
Wolf was thorough, a perfectionist and took his job seriously, said Robert Senecal, Wolf's friend and dean emeritus of continuing education. As assistant dean, Wolf went through training at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center himself to better understand the program for which he was responsible.
Wolf also initiated the continuing education program's move to computerized databases, said Steve Bunch, director of information analysis and research for continuing education.
He helped write and develop some of the computer programs and transferred records, Bunch said.
Wolf also founded the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress and served as a parliamentarian.
His wife said he had a reputation for knowing everyone and had a genuine concern for others.
She called him a "sounding board" because of the way he listened to other people's ideas. He would help people think through their problems but let them find the solutions on their own, she said.
John earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in philosophy at the University. He then taught
mathematical logic and a survey course in the department of philosophy.
"For the students who cared, they would have learned a great deal," she said.
Though she never watched him in the classroom, Phyllis said she knew Wolf was a tough, vet fair, teacher.
Wolf's family suggests that memorials be given to the Elden L. and Mildred Pursell Wolf Scholarship at the KU Endowment Association, the John P. Wolf 33rd Degree Masonic Professorship or the KU Med Center department of urology for prostate cancer research.

Mayor Mike Rundle proclaimed Oct. 7 as "Communities in Motion Day" at last night's city commission meeting. The Lawrence Transit System will provide free rides to the public on that day. Ridership appreciation bags will also be distributed to random riders throughout the day. People took more than 9.4 billion trips using public transportation in 2002 in the United States.
According to the American Public Transportation Association, 54 percent of all trips using public transportation ended at work. Fifteen percent of people take trips to schools, 9 percent shop, 9 percent use public transportation for social visits and 5 percent use it for medical appoint-
"Violence in our community is
intolerable no matter if it's on an individual family level or on a larger scale involving more people."
Emily Nelson Outreach Director for Women's Transitional Care Services
ments
Rundle also proclaimed the month of October "Domestic Violence Awareness Month."
"Violence in our community is intolerable no matter if it's on an individual family level or on a larger scale involving more people," said Emily Nelson, outreach coordinator for Women's Transitional Care Services. "And if we can't even
eradicate violence from our homes and people can't even feel safe in their own homes, then we're never going to be able to eradicate it on a larger level."
University of Kansas students, as members of the community, need to be as aware as possible of the issues concerning domestic violence and remaining active in trying to educate people about the problems, Nelson said. Students can help by calling the police if they witness something or offering help to women who might be experience domestic violence,said.
"We say we have equality because we can vote. But if women are still having to flee from their own homes because they don't feel safe, I don't really call that equality," Nelson said.

Panhellenic bans use of alcohol-catering service
The Panhellenic Council unanimously voted to ban Jayhawk Catering, an alcohol-catering service many sororities had used, from future functions last night at its meeting.
The ban may be lifted if the business decides to follow Panhellenic regulations.
"I think the ban is a catalyst for change," said Kelly Rifenbark, Panhellenic vice president in charge of risk management.
The chapter presidents will meet with Jayhawk Catering on Thursday to discuss whether the ban will be lifted.
The Panhellenic Association proposed the ban last week because the business had allegedly been serving alcohol to minors.
Morgan McBee, Panhellenic Association president, organized the meeting after Jayhawk Catering expressed concerns to to Laura Cripple, coordinator of fraternity and sorority life.
"I think it will improve the safety of Panhellenic functions that are going on," McBee, Dallas senior, said. "There was a death this weekend at the University of Oklahoma because of alcohol."
It has become clear to greek communities across the nation that change is necessary, she said.
"It'll show Jayhawk Catering that we do want to have stricter rules at our functions," said Anne Domann, Doylestown, Pa., junior and Kappa Alpha Theta member. "We want our member to be safe."

Forum to provide insight on diversity in higher ed.
A diversity dialogue, "Higher Education: A Right or Privilege?" will be held tomorrow from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Kansas room in the Kansas Union. The dialogue sponsored by the Diversity Peer Education Team, will focus on non-documented
students and college tuition in Kansas.
"A lot of people might not be familiar about this issue," said Vedrana Balta, Diversity Peer Education Team student coordinator. "It will not only be educational, but it can open up their eyes to important issues."
The series creates an opportunity for everyone interested to discuss issues in a safe and comfortable environment, Balta said. The evening will begin with a panel discussion, and then participants will break into groups.
"It's a good way for people to get different opinions and points of view on important issues," Balta said.
Other diversity dialogues this year include "Race: Check One Only" on Nov. 4, "War of Words" on Dec. 2, "The 'N' word" on Feb. 3, 2005, "Fat — So?" on March 3, 2005, and "How far have we come?" on April 7, 2005.

Recent crimes indicative of larger safety problem
Readers of the Kansan might have noticed that last week's pages seemed unusually replete with stories of campus crime. A female student's car was stolen from her at gunpoint. Police investigated the rape of a freshman in a residence hall. Another student was trapped in the passenger seat as a thief drove off in his boyfriend's car.
It is most comforting to deem the week's crimes freak occurrences. It is easiest to hold onto the picture painted by the admissions office of the University of Kansas as a quaintly secure campus in the middle of small-town America.
All universities want parents to believe their students will be protected from the outside world, from crime and misfortune. Until 1990, this was often accomplished by simply choosing not to release information on campus crime. The Clery Act changed this unscrupulous practice.
The Clery Act, named after Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University freshman tortured and killed in her dorm room in 1986 by a fellow student, requires all U.S. colleges and universities to report crimes that occur on and around their campuses. Enforced by the Department of Education, the act is intended to prevent schools from hiding offenses that occur on campus in order to preserve their reputations and keep enrollment numbers up. Last Tuesday, the University fulfilled its yearly obligation to the act by sending an e-mail to all students with links to its campus crime information.
Few students bother to examine the statistics. But those that do probably realized that they are incredibly misrepresentative of university life and are not much of an improvement compared to the days of total silence by university administrations on safety issues.
For example, four "forcible sex offenses" occurred on campus in 2003. Research has found that one in five women at the University experiences rape or attempted rape during their time here. That means then that statistically 945 women are made victims of rape each year. Where are the 941 other victims? They do exist. They simply are not talking. Some fear retribution and some simply don't know to whom they can turn.
The claim is that victims of rape are still stigmatized and the University is not doing enough to reach out to them and provide easy, well-advertised avenues for reporting incidents of rape. Change in these areas is necessary because the incredibly low number reported by the University lulls students into a false sense of security and reinforces the notion that awareness of surroundings and situation is unnecessary because rape happens so infrequently.
Rape is, of course, not the only underreported crime on campus, or the only one that needs to be aggressively combated through campus outreach and reforms. It is one that serves to illuminate the entire problem of crime reporting at universities.
Last week's incidents were not isolated occurrences. They are indicative of a crime problem suffered by most large campuses but one that is unpleasant for administrations to address. The risks of damaging the students' sense of security and the school's reputation simply cannot take precedence over student well-being. Even if it causes crime statistics to rise, the University must pursue more aggressive measures to protect its students and obtain accurate counts of on-campus crimes.

Besides the fact that the link to the Genie's source algorithm is broken, we must also wonder if certain language patterns really are more feminine or masculine than others.

Gender Genie ignores context
Do language patterns reveal gender?
The Gender Genie answers with a resounding and confident Yes!
The Gender Genie lives at www.bookblog.net and has never popped out of a bottle. And, alas, it does not grant wishes, though it does 'magically' predict one's gender based on a text sample. At least, it tries.
Site visitors insert text for analysis and tell the Genie if the sample is fiction, nonfiction or a blog entry. The program flags certain words as feminine or masculine, and voila, it gives the text a gender score. For example, the genie scored our last column as Female: 249, Male: 809 (the bigger number is the winner).
LANGUAGE RULES!
LANGUAGE RULES?
After we submitted our actual gender (the site wants to know if it has guessed correctly), the genie responded: "that is one butch chick."
The Gender Genie computes patterns in language with a seemingly objective eye. Looking for these gender patterns is intriguing, but ultimately meaningless
APRIL BENSON AND LAUREN STEWART

When the Web site responds to its misgendering with "butch chick" references, it is asserting that there is something potentially unnatural about a woman who uses words like a man.
The Gender Genie's conclusion is unfortunate on many levels. If there IS a difference between male and female, masculine and feminine forms of communication, is it a difference that is somehow natural, or is it a learned behavior? The Genie ignores the importance of context—topic, situation, experience—and suggests that gender matters more in determining language.
Sites such as the Gender Genie compete people to think about the ways that humans package and manipulate their language without necessarily meaning to do so. The ideas behind the Genie also speak to the strong link between gender and identity, as language continuously helps reaffirm identity.
Language encompasses many things including experience, contexts and identity. Yes, gender probably factors in to all of those things—and somehow, some way, probably factors into our language patterns. But should we allow something as simplified as the Gender Genie to deny the complexity of human language?

Snuggling cozy alternative to sex
The power of the snuggle can cross the boundaries of, apparently, sexuality. While many will claim that snuggling is a non-sexual sport, which it can be, I would also like to note that most good sexin' has precluded or concluded with snuggling.
True story; I get off work at three o'clock in the morning. I'm tired, but decide to go spend the night at my friends house in order to meet her new boyfriend. I walk into her apartment and see a boy lying down on her couch. This boy, a casual acquaintance, sleepily wakes up and says, "Hey Stephen, haven't see you in a while." We then hug. It turns into us falling onto the couch and snuggling for the next forty-minutes. It was hot.
The best snuggle EVER: In order to find out the mechanics behind the snuggle I enlisted my snuggle buddy/partner in crime, Schuyler. We spent a solid hour and a half trying out every position and even making up a few of our own. Our results:

Spooning: The most popular body position. It's where the larger bodied individual adopts a fetal position and presses their stomach up against the back of the smaller bodied person in front of them.

The person who is "spooning" the other person always has trouble finding what to do with the other arm.

The tree hugger: The first person lies down and their back and the second person nuzzled up against the "tree's" side. The "hugger's" head is usually laid on the "tree's" chest and their arm over the "tree's" body. Pros: Comfortable and moderately intimate. Cons: One of the Hugger's arms will get crushed.

The 69: It started out as a joke, but eventually became a reality. Both parties lay with their heads on the other's thighs. Pros: Good for eye contact and communication. Cons: Move too much and you could crush some one's nuts. It takes a fair amount of setup.
The three-some: Eventually Schuyler and I invited our friend Joel, to see the pro/cons of the three-some snuggle. Much like real three-somes, there's always someone making out like a bandit. The person in the middle got the most loved on.
Three people severely limit movement. To keep everyone comfortable, either try a spoon train, or a double tree hugger. Anything more complex just won't work. Trust me, we tried.
Pros: It's three people!! Cons: There is a tendency to overheat and the lack of movement can get annoying.
Final notes: While good body type interaction helps in obtaining that perfect snuggle, it isn't the only mitigating factor. Enthusiasm seems to be key. Be an active snuggler. Get your body close to the other person, stroke their hair and caress their skin. I am assuming you like this person, so show it.

Japanese history who had taken Beckman's place, to build a long-lasting program.
Today, the University is the only college in the west-central region of the United States that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Japanese studies, and the Center provides coordination for the University's active and growing program in East Asian studies, according to a Consulate General of Japan press release.
Owen Grieb spent three years teaching English in Japan in a government program and is now back at the University. He
said he was part of the East Asian languages and culture program and thought it had an excellent mixture of Japanese history, language and relation between old and modern Japan.
"It's amazing that a landlocked state in the middle of the U.S. can get an island country to bestow an award on it," said Grieb, Overland Park graduate student.
It is important for the University to remain active in maintaining its relationship with Japan and in teaching East Asian studies because the future is in Asia, Tsutsui said.
Japan is a huge trading partner with Kansas and China is continuing to grow, he said, and
because of globalization, the world is only getting smaller.
"We need to stay aware of our neighbors in the world, and Japan is one of our best friends and allies," he said.
But Moos said the University and the United States had come full circle and were repeating some their past mistakes.
The NDEA has been replaced by Homeland Security and the United States and its universities are once again in need of language experts, he said.
"We need to remember that we should look in the past and learn from the past." Moos said.

Dangerfield dead at 82
Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m. yesterday, said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Rodney Dangerfield, the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82.
stroke after the operation and developed infectious and abdominal complications. But in the past week he had emerged from the coma, the publicist said.
Sasaki said in a statement that Dangerfield suffered a small
"When Rodney emerged, he kissed me, squeezed my hand and smiled for his doctors," Dangerfield's wife, Joan, said in the statement. The comic is also survived by two children from a previous marriage.
As a comic, Dangerfield — clad in a black suit, red tie and white shirt with collar that seemed too tight — convulsed audiences with lines such as: "When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my
mother," and "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: "Basement?"
In a 1986 interview, he explained the origin of his "respect" trademark:
"I had this joke: I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me.' To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: I was so poor, I was so dumb, so this, so that. I thought, 'Now what fits that joke?' Well, 'No one liked me' was all right. But then I thought, a more profound thing would be, 'I get no respect.'

Recent crimes indicative of larger safety problem
Readers of the Kansan might have noticed that last week's pages seemed unusually replete with stories of campus crime. A female student's car was stolen from her at gunpoint. Police investigated the rape of a freshman in a residence hall. Another student was trapped in the passenger seat as a thief drove off in her boyfriend's car.
It is most comforting to deem the week's crimes freak occurrences. It is easiest to hold onto the picture painted by the admissions office of the University of Kansas as a quaintly secure campus in the middle of small-town America.
All universities want parents to believe their students will be protected from the outside world, from crime and misfortune. Until 1990, this was often accomplished by simply choosing not to release information on campus crime. The Clery Act changed this unscrupulous practice.
The Clery Act, named after Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University freshman tortured and killed in her dorm room in 1986 by a fellow student, requires all U.S. colleges and universities to report crimes that occur on and around their campuses. Enforced by the Department of Education, the act is intended to prevent schools from hiding offenses that occur on campus in order to preserve their reputations and keep enrollment numbers up. Last Tuesday, the University fulfilled its yearly obligation to the act by sending an e-mail to all students with links to its campus crime information.
Few students bother to examine the statistics. But those that do probably realized that they are incredibly misrepresentative of university life and are not much of an improvement compared to the days of total silence by university administrations on safety issues.
For example, four "forcible sex offenses" occurred on campus in 2003. Research has found that one in five women at the University experiences rape or attempted rape during their time here. That means then that statistically 945 women are made victims of rape each year. Where are the 941 other victims? They do exist. They simply are not talking. Some fear retribution and some simply don't know to whom they can turn.
The claim is that victims of rape are still stigmatized and the University is not doing enough to reach out to them and provide easy, well-advertised avenues for reporting incidents of rape. Change in these areas is necessary because the incredibly low number reported by the University lulls students into a false sense of security and reinforces the notion that awareness of surroundings and situation is unnecessary because rape happens so infrequently.
Rape is, of course, not the only underreported crime on campus, or the only one that needs to be aggressively combated through campus outreach and reforms. It is one that serves to illuminate the entire problem of crime reporting at universities.
Last week's incidents were not isolated occurrences. They are indicative of a crime problem suffered by most large campuses but one that is unpleasant for administrations to address. The risks of damaging the students' sense of security and the school's reputation simply cannot take precedence over student well-being. Even if it causes crime statistics to rise, the University must pursue more aggressive measures to protect its students and obtain accurate counts of on-campus crimes.

Gender Genie ignores context
Do language patterns reveal gender?
The Gender Genie answers with a resounding and confident Yes!
The Gender Genie lives at www.bookblog.net and has never popped out of a bottle. And, alas, it does not grant wishes, though it does 'magically' predict one's gender based on a text sample. At least, it tries.
Site visitors insert text for analysis and tell the Genie if the sample is fiction, nonfiction or a blog entry. The program flags certain words as feminine or masculine, and voila, it gives the text a gender score. For example, the genie scored our last column as Female: 249, Male: 809 (the bigger number is the winner).
LANGUAGE RULES!
After we submitted our actual gender (the site wants to know if it has guessed correctly), the genie responded: "that is one butch chick."
The Gender Genie computes patterns in language with a seemingly objective eye. Looking for these gender patterns is intriguing, but ultimately meaningless.
As a legitimate tool, the site and its underlying philosophy are not especially credible. Besides the fact that the link to the Genie's source algorithm is broken, we must also wonder if certain language patterns really are more feminine or masculine than others. Or is the Gender Genie just another example of a bogus linguistic trend?

said he was part of the East Asian languages and culture program and thought it had an excellent mixture of Japanese history, language and relation between old and modern Japan.
"It's amazing that a landlocked state in the middle of the U.S. can get an island country to bestow an award on it," said Grieb, Overland Park graduate student.
It is important for the University to remain active in maintaining its relationship with Japan and in teaching East Asian studies because the future is in Asia, Tsutsui said.
Japan is a huge trading partner with Kansas and China is continuing to grow, he said, and
because of globalization, the world is only getting smaller.
"We need to stay aware of our neighbors in the world, and Japan is one of our best friends and allies," he said.
But Moos said the University and the United States had come full circle and were repeating some their past mistakes.
The NDEA has been replaced by Homeland Security and the United States and its universities are once again in need of language experts, he said.
"We need to remember that we should look in the past and learn from the past." Moos said.

Dangerfield dead at 82
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Rodney Dangerfield, the bug-eyed comic whose self-deprecating one-liners brought him stardom in clubs, television and movies and made his lament "I don't get no respect" a catchphrase, died Tuesday. He was 82.
Abbey Dangerfield, who fell into a coma after undergoing heart surgery, died at 1:20 p.m. yesterday, said publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield had a heart valve replaced Aug. 25 at the University of California, Los Angeles. Medical Center.
stroke after the operation and developed infectious and abdominal complications. But in the past week he had emerged from the coma, the publicist said.
Sasaki said in a statement that Dangerfield suffered a small
"When Rodney emerged, he kissed me, squeezed my hand and smiled for his doctors," Dangerfield's wife, Joan, said in the statement. The comic is also survived by two children from a previous marriage.
As a comic, Dangerfield — clad in a black suit, red tie and white shirt with collar that seemed too tight — convulsed audiences with lines such as: "When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my
mother," and "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: "Basement?"
In a 1986 interview, he explained the origin of his "respect" trademark:
"I had this joke: I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me.' To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: I was so poor, I was so dumb, so this, so that. I thought, 'Now what fits that joke?' Well, 'No one liked me' was all right. But then I thought, a more profound thing would be, I get no respect."
After his first major film role in "Caddyshack," he began starring in his own movies.

be on a reality show and is Donald's hair for real?
A: I wish I knew how to lead a more balanced life. Studying is very important, but so is experiencing the world around you
Q: What is one thing you wish you knew in college?
Q: How has fame changed your life?
A: It has been a lot of hard work but also fun. Not only do I have the amazing opportunity to work on the Trump Tower project in Chicago, I also have taken advantage of other opportunities like speaking at KU.
Q: Are you single? Have you thought about how your life would be different if you had been chosen for The Bachelor instead of The Apprentice?
A: Yes, I am single. My life would be so different if I were chosen for The Bachelor instead of The Apprentice. First of all, I might have a girlfriend.
Q: Who are you rooting for this season on The Apprentice and why?
How was it being on the other side of the table on last week's show?
A: I can't really say who I am rooting for because I am now on the other side of the table. It was great being in the boardroom on last week's show. I am looking forward to doing it again.
Q: How did you get the idea for your cigar business? In what profession did you imagine yourself as a child?
A: After a lot of research and brainstorming with my partner John, we came up with the idea of Cigars Around the World. As
a child I wanted to be a fireman just like every other kid.
Q: What's Donald Trump like in person?
A: Donald Trump is a genuinely nice guy who has taken me under his wing and is willing to show me the ropes.
G: Have you met anyone that made you starstruck?
A: I met Jack Nicholson last year and I am a huge fan, so I guess you could say I was starstruck.
Q: How's the new job? Are you happy with your choice?
A: I am very happy with my choice. I love Chicago and am happy to be working here. The new job is going well. I am learning a lot.

PEARSET!
Today's Birthday (Oct. 6).
Discipline is one of your least favorite subjects. You'd much rather negotiate than play by the rules; you don't see life as black and white. You're apt to be rebellious this year, but take care. You could win a small victory but lose the entire war. Or acquire a valuable skill.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 5.
HOROSCOPES
A particularly annoying person may be a messenger assigned to bring you information that you don't want to hear. Listen, and take notes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Today is a 7.
Practice makes perfect, but unfortunately, it takes a lot of time. Learn from a master, and soon you'll be able to teach coworkers a few things.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
You'd better not spend your newly wont treasures for a little while. There's the outside chance it might be an error. Better stash it away for now.
Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 7.
Being thoughtful is more than a natural talent of yours. You work at it, and that may be necessary.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Today is a 6.
There are so many interesting things to do other than that which you've previously obligated yourself. Don't you hate it when this happens?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Continue to solicit advice from one with more experience. There's no reason you have to learn it all the hard way, especially since a friend of yours already did.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Of all the kinds of discipline there are, the kind you apply to your own self is the best by far. It's not easy, but this is a perfect time to practice.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 7.
A distant friend or relative dispenses good advice. Trade by sharing the story of a miracle that's happened to you recently.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
In a perfect world you'd be able to buy whatever you want. You can bring yourself closer to satisfaction by learning to want what you can afford.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is a 7.
Common sense isn't really all that common any more. Advise a person who doesn't have much—but carefully. Your words may not be welcome.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18).
Today is a 7.
Today is a 7.
Once you've got the workplace routine firmly in place, you'll produce much more with much less effort.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 7.
You're good at fantasies, but you need somebody else to help with the structure. Being in love with a person like that is an excellent plan.

Edwards, Cheney clash, refute each others' 'facts'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Sen. John Edwards accused the Bush administration Tuesday night of bungling the war in Iraq and presiding over a historic loss of jobs.
"Your facts are just wrong." Vice President Dick Cheney shot back in a crackling campaign debate.
In a clash at close quarters. Edwards accused Cheney of "not being straight" with the American people about the war. He said U.S. casualties are rising monthly and the United States is bearing 90 percent of the cost and suffering 90 percent of the dead and wounded.
dead and wounded.
Cheney promptly challenged those figures, saying the Iraqi security forces had taken nearly half of the casualties.
"For you to demean their sacrifice is beyond the pale," he said to Edwards seated a few feet away.
"Oh, I'm not," Edwards protested before the vice president cut him off.
"Frankly, senator, you have a record that's not very distinguished." Cheney said to the North Carolina lawmaker after accusing him of a pattern of absences in the Senate during his one term.
In a jab at the Bush-Cheney campaign's claim on experience, he said. "Mr. Vice President, I don't think the country can take four more years of this type of experience."
He also said that as a member of Congress more than a decade ago, Cheney voted against Head Start and banning plastic guns that can escape detection in metal detectors.
Edwards was on the attack from the opening moments of the debate.
He said that in addition to mismanaging the war in Iraq, the administration had Osama bin
Laden cornered in Afghanistan at one point, but turned over the hunt for him to Afghan warlords.
"The senator has got his facts wrong," said Cheney. "We've never let up on Osama bin Laden from day one. We've actively and aggressively pursued him."
In rebuttal to Edwards' charges on the war, Cheney repeatedly criticized the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry, for shifting positions on the conflict.
Referring to Kerry's debate with President Bush last week, Cheney said the four-term Massachusetts senator had declared he would submit American military commitments overseas to a global test.
He said that was part of a record that led Kerry to oppose the first Persian Gulf War in 1991 and "always being on the wrong side" of defense issues.
On domestic issues, Edwards said Bush has presided over a loss of jobs during his administration — the first president to do so since Herbert Hoover sat in the White House. He also said more Americans are in poverty, and living without health insurance, than when the president took the oath of office in 2001.
seek to take action.
Edwards denied that even before the vice president said it, noting that the Democratic proposal calls for rolling back the Bush tax cuts on only those earning $200,000 or more a year.
But Cheney said jobs were being created, and said a Kerry-Edwards administration would seek to raise taxes.
carrying Cheeney, whose daughter, Mary, is a lesbian, spoke supportively about gay relationships and said that "people ought to be free to choose any arrangement they want." At the same time, Bush supports passage of a constitutional marriage to ban
gay marriage, and Cheney said. "He sets policy for this administration, and I support him."
Edwards said it was obvious that the Chenes loved their daughter and that "you can't have anything but respect" for them. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and so does John Kerry." Edwards said. But, he added, "We should not use the Constitution to divide this country."
Edwards also charged that Cheney, as the chief executive officer of Halliburton, pushed to lift U.S. sanctions against Iran, did business with countries that were "sworn enemies of the United States," and that Halliburton paid millions of dollars in fines for providing false information "just like Enron and Ken Lay," the now indicted former chief.
her mother.
Cheney accused Edwards of "trying to throw up a smoke screen" and said "there's no sub
stance to the charges"
Kerry and Edwards have sought to link Cheney to Halliburton as a symbol of corporate greed and insider connections. Halliburton has reported making more than $7.6 billion so far from U.S. government contracts in Iraq.
The Republican said Kerry voted to authorize the war, then voted against an $87 billion aid package for Iraq and Afghanistan. He said Democratic primary politics were at work at that point. "If they couldn't stand up to pressures that Howard Dean represented, how can we expect them to stand up to al-Qaida?" he said.
Democratic oppose Bush and Kerry will debate twice more, the next time being on Friday in St. Louis and Oct. 13 in Arizona.

It was the only debate of the campaign for Cheney and his Democratic opponent.
White House backs Bush's moves in Iraq
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The White House staunchly defended its Iraq policy Tuesday as new questions emerged about President Bush's prewar decisions and postwar planning.
An impending weapons report undercut the administration's main rationale for the war, and the former head of the American occupation said the United States had too few troops in Iraq after the invasion.
Four weeks before Election Day, Democrat John Kerry pounced on the acknowledgment by former Iraq administrator Paul Bremer Iraq that the United States had "paid a big price" for insufficient troop levels.
Bremer, who shot into the national headlines with his remarks, softened his comments
during a speech Tuesday in Michigan.
Michigan. "We certainly had enough (troops) going into Iraq, because we won the war in a very short three weeks," he told an audience of more than 400 people at Michigan State University.
"The point that I have been making, and that has gotten a little bit distorted in the press recently, is that, as I look back now, I believe it would have been better to stop the looting that was found right after the war.
"One way to have stopped the looting would have been to have more troops on the ground. That's a retrospective wisdom of mine, looking backwards," he added. "I think there are enough troops there now for the job we are doing."
Kerry said there was a "long
list of mistakes" that the Bush administration had made in Iraq.
"I'm glad that Paul Bremer has finally admitted at least two of them," Kerry said, referring to postwar troop levels and a failure to contain chaos.
At a campaign stop in Tipton, Iowa, Kerry said the question for voters was whether Bush was "constitutionally incapable of acknowledging the truth" or was "just so stubborn."
His speechwriters polished an address that administration aides said would be a sweeping indictment of Kerry's policies on Iraq, the war on terrorism and the economy.
"It's a comprehensive look at two very different records, one of accomplishment, and one of being on the wrong side of history over and over again." Bush campaign communications
"We certainly had
enough (troops) going into Iraq, because we won the war in a very short three weeks."
Paul Bremer
Former Iraqi administrator
director Nicole Devenish said of the speech.
"The president will talk about the choice we face in this election between his commitment to success in the war on terror and John Kerry's record of voting against measures to keep us safe, and attacking policies he once supported."

Offensive setback

According to the football adage defense wins championships.
That may be the case, but Kansas' offense has not done enough this year to complement a defense that is doing its part to keep the team in games.
part to keep the team in control.
Before the season started, fans were unsure of what to expect from the Jayhawk offense. The departure of team leader and offensive powerhouse Bill Whittemore would undoubtedly affect its performance.
Adrian Jones and Danny Lewis would affect the offensive line, especially its ability to open up holes for the running game.
While the offensive line has struggled so far to open holes and push defensive linemen off of their spots, sophomore running back John Randle seems pleased with the progress the line has made recently.
"We had some success early in the year, and it's kind of coming back slowly." Randle said. "There are a lot of new people on the line, and they're starting to work better together."
The return of senior right guard Tony Coker has the potential to contribute to the offensive line. Coker said yesterday
that he felt "100 percent" for the first time all season. Coker has been sidelined with an injured ankle.
Sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann was responsible for filling the gap left with Whittemore's departure. Barmann is more of a pocket passer — Whittemore also loved to throw but was never afraid to tuck the ball and run.
Last season, Whittemore averaged 53.4 yards rushing per game, second on the team.

When Paula Caten moved to Kansas from her home in Canarana, Brazil, she had one thing on her mind: Paola.
And she'd never even heard of the small Kansas town south of Kansas City.
When she moved from Great Bend to Lawrence, the junior outside hitter's thoughts were still fixed on Paola.

When Paola, Caten's 3-year-old

face growing pains.
"I can't imagine the change from juco to D1," she said. "She's struggled a little bit, but she's going to be an amazing player."
Caten, who was named Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year by conference coaches, is the first to admit she has struggled so far this season — she is last among starting hitters with a .096 hitting percentage. But Bechard said she was vital to the team's chemistry.
"She comes to practice every day and works hard, and she's shown improvement" he said.
And the improvement is evident in games, even if Caten won't admit it.
11 Runs that night. Caten, along with the rest of the Jayhawks, has struggled since then, and the team is working to improve its passing to let hitters like Caten get more clean hits.
"Every game feels the same," she said. But when Texas swept Kansas Sept. 25, Bechard said Caden was one of very few bright spots. She led the team with 11 kills that night.
"If you, don't have a pass, you don't have a set, you don't have a hit," she said. "We are all trying to help each other."
Junior middle blocker Josi Lima, who played against Caten in Brazilian club play, said Caten's early-season missires would fade as she adjusted to the speed of the game.
"Where she played, there were two or three good players." Lima said. "Here, everybody's good."
Here, everybody's good Friends like Lima and sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa helped Caten decide to transfer to Kansas after two seasons at Barton County.

"They said, 'Oh, you're going to Kansas, you're going to lose to K-State,'" she said.
Caten said she would prove them wrong tonight when No. 16 Kansas State visited Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The match will start at 7, and some standing-room-only tickets may be available at the Horejsi ticket office at 5:30 p.m.
Caten said she hoped to report a victory to Paola next time they spoke.

Kansas' turnover trouble

points away from a 5-3 tie.
That's the total margin of victory in Kansas' past three losses. Instead, the Jayhawks sit at 2-3 with a collection of missed opportunities behind them. In the past two games, the Kansas defense has forced nine turnovers, including five against Texas Tech and four against Nebraska. The offense has capitalized on just one-third of those opportunities, scoring 17 points on three possessions — all against Texas Tech two weeks ago.
The Kansas football team is 10 points away from a 5-0 record.
Seven of those points came in the first quarter of the Texas Tech game after Kansas senior cornerback Rodney Harris intercepted a pass by Sonny Cumbie, Texas Tech senior quarterback. Kansas running back John Randle broke loose for a 36-yard touchdown run on the following play. The other 10 points came in the second quarter of that game when Kansas converted on two of three forced turnovers.
and finish our drive.
If the offense had been able to capitalize on at least one of those turnovers in the last six quarters, the Jayhawks could have a winning record. In the fourth quarter of last week's game, Nebraska turnovers created three of Kansas' six offensive possessions, including the first possession of the quarter when Kansas junior linebacker Banks Floodman recovered a fumble with less than a minute left in the third quarter. Kansas did not score in the
That means that in the last six quarters of play, the Kansas defense has forced five turnovers, and the offense has not scored off any of them.
Randle gave the defense credit for forcing turnovers and said the offense needs to do a better job of capitalizing on them.
"The defense gave us the ball a lot; we just haven't been able to score," Randle said. "Being able to convert when we get the ball back is really important to us. We owe that to the D. We will just keep working hard to score and finish our drives."

THOMASTOWN, Ireland — Umbrellas were in, sunglasses out. Fans walked about Mount Juliet in golf shoes with metal spikes, something only seen

And it's not much different when the World Golf Championships come to the United States. Even with the inflated prize money, it's getting hard to distinguish between them and most other PGA Tour events.
Something needs to be done to resurrect the World Golf Championships, which just finished their sixth official season and already have become stale.

"We just have a few issues that need to be corrected," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said.
Money isn't the answer, although an argument can be made.
When the World Golf Championships began in 1999, the prize money was $3 million with $1 million going to the winner, the only seven-figure payoff at an official tournament. The only events that offered more than $3 million in prize money were the majors, The Players Championship and the Tour Championship.
Nick Price stayed home because Hurricane Jeanne was on its way as his family was still recovering from Frances, Vijay Singh checked out when he found his Florida home without power from the hurricane — several players figured it was the Fijian who was out of gas from winning so much.
Now, there are 25 tournaments worth at least $5 million, and 11 players already have cashed checks worth at least $1 million, with one more to go at the Tour Championship.

Win could salvage Wildcat season
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — The last time Kansas State started 2-2, the Wildcats followed by losing their next four on the way to a 6-6 season — the team's worst in nearly a decade.
That was three years ago.
This year, the Wildcats are 2-2 for the third time under coach Bill Snyder, but they couldn't have picked a better opponent for their fifth game. Kansas State has won 11 straight against instate rival Kansas, who they'll face Saturday in Lawrence.
The Wildcats have outscoored the Jayhawks by an average of 30 points in those games.
That kind of domination isn't expected this time around.
opener at Texas A&M last week, and has allowed 30 points per game, while Kansas (2-3, 0-2) is coming off three losses by a combined 10 points.
"They've earned some respect in the conference and they've improved," Kansas State quarterback Dylan Meier said of the Jayhawks. "We realize that."
"But," defensive tackle Jermaine Berry said, "you have to beat us before you can say you've closed the gap."
Kansas State has lost two of its last three games, including its Big 12
For Kansas State, a win Saturday could salvage a season already hanging in the balance.
Sproles' response after the game was simple: "It was on me."
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2004
Sproles has already rushed for 611 yards this season, averaging more than 152 per game, sixth-best nationally. He has nine catches and two touchdowns.
And Snyder indicated he is still confident in Sproles.
"This game means a lot," Meier said. "We need a big win."
Kansas State star running back Darren Sproles has had trouble holding onto the football this season, fumbling seven times so far..
"I'm with Darren like every other player. If he makes a mistake, I'm upset with him," running backs coach Michael Smith said. "I was disappointed. I don't want him to get that reputation as a fumbler."

"Look at what he's gone through in his life. This isn't even on the scale." Snyder said, referring to the death of Sproles' mother, Annette, in April. "He takes (fumbling) extremely hard and I appreciate it. But if he can handle that, he can handle this."

Pippen retires after 17 seasons
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Scottie Pippen played the sidekick to basketball's greatest star, creating a partnership the Chicago Bulls parlayed into an NBA dynasty with six titles in the 1990s
Pippen's career came to an end Tuesday, as he announced his retirement following 17 years in the league. He made the announcement standing in front of the six championship trophies he helped the Bulls win.
"As I stand here and as I look back, I don't think Michael (Jordan) had any championship trophies without me," Pippen said of a basketball relationship was mutually beneficial.
Jordan already was a star when Pippen arrived in 1987. Four seasons later, they brought the Bulls their first title.
"It was a taste for us we had never had before," Pippen said, looking back on the five-game victory over the Lakers in the 1991 NBA Finals.
Pippen, 39, chosen as one of the NBA's 50 greatest players in 1996 for the league's 50th anniversary, was known for his all-around play — especially his long-armed defense at 6-foot-7 against some of the league's best scorers. The seven-time All-Star directed the Bulls' famed triangle offense with his ballhandling skills.
WEDN
Looking for some leadership, the Bulls brought Pippen back last season to work with their young team. But he had knee surgery in December and played in only 23 games as the Bulls went 23-59.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
— The sweat pours off the face of University of South Carolina wide receiver Tim "Pops" Frisby
— it's another hot day at the Gamecocks practice facility, and he's enjoying every minute of it.
Frisby gets the call and plants off his left foot, running a perfect route and watching the ball fall right into his hands, protecting the ball like it is a child.
it is a child.
Frisby is just another freshman wide receiver at South Carolina. He goes to school, studies hard and plays the sport he loves. However, Frisby isn't an average collegiate football player. At the age of 39 and with six kids, Frisby is the oldest freshman player in the NCAA.
Players like Frisby have become recognizable over the past few years as older players have come back to school after professional baseball careers or in Frisby's case, military time, to play a sport they love.
Names like Mark Farris of Texas A&M and Chris Weinke of Florida State come to mind when people talk about older players who took the time out to come back to the collegiate game. While some people still contest that the older players are a gimmick to get fans out to watch the "old guy," players like Frisby deserve the chance to play even if they aren't in the same physical shape as a 20-year-old player.
"In life it's easy to say these are things I could've done," Frisby said. "It's a lot harder to say I did them."
high school, all three went on to pursue different dreams. Farris and Weinke went on to play professional baseball, and Frisby spent 20 years in the military. Yet, all three found themselves back full circle to the game they loved.
When Farris, Weinke and Frisby were recruited out of
South Carolina coach Lou Holtz, considered by most to be one of the greatest collegiate coaches of all time, backs Frisby and his chance to play collegiate football.
"I think it's great in this country that everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dream," Holtz said. "Tim has this dream and he wants to play football, and I say God bless you, Pops."
you! Pops!
It's rare in today's society to see someone like Frisby live out a lifelong dream when so many people today rest on their laurels and go through life living each day with "what its." Players like Frisby make collegiate football the game it is today — a chance to live out a dream without regard to age.
regard to age.
Over the years, players like Farris and Weinie proved that age was only a number, as both went on to start at quarterback at their respective schools, and just last week. Frisby got the chance to play in his first collegiate game.
"I never gave up on my dreams," Frisby said. "These were dreams that started 20 or 30 years ago; I never gave up on them."
The burning desire to succeed is what drives these players to come back, not the publicity and fame. It's the friendships and camaraderie that they feel walking through the tunnel on Saturdays to a crowd of 80,000 screaming fans. In the end, the players are all equal no matter their age. All of them are working toward the same goal — to be successful.

OFFENSE: Team scoring potency diminished from last year
CONTINUED FROM 1B
As far as total yards passing, Whittimore averaged 238.5 yards per game, while Barmann averages 225.4. Once again, if you take out the lopsided Toledo game, the average is just 205.5 yards per game. In the grand scheme of things, however, Whittimore and Barmann have posted relatively similar number in passing.
Last season the Jayhawks ran up large point totals and relied on outscoring opponents to win games. Last season, the team averaged 29.5 points per game, while this season the team averages only 27.8. Take out the Jayhawks' lopsided 63-14 victory over Toledo, and the team is averages only 19 points per game.
Part of this can be attributed to a team that has thrown fewer deep balls, and also to the fact that the kicking situation has been a bit of a mess this season.
Last season, the Kansas kickers went 14-21. So far this season they are only 6-13. Not only does this keep points off the board for Kansas, but it gives
opponents good starting field position.
position.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the Jayhawks success this season would probably depend a lot on their ability to continue posting those kinds of yards passing and further developing the run.
Barmann is still young and has a couple years to evolve into the type of player that Whittemore was. Mangino compared Barmann's situation to that of the quarterback of Kansas' next opponent, Kansas State sophomore Dylan Meier.
"Right now, any win I go home happy with," Randle said.
"They're learning on the job," he said,
he said.
Barmann's learning curve may prove to be the key in the Jayhawks' efforts to field a potent offense that can run and pass effectively and ultimately compete for a Big 12 Championship. In the meantime, the 'Hawks will settle for the victories they can get.

Fantasy football with a twist

The Jayhawks are 2-3. The Kansas City Chiefs are 1-3. But Hanluen Kuo's team is undefeated. After a lackluster start to this fall's football seasons, students are taking matters into their own hands — in the form of a controller.
Some students play sports video games like Madden 2005 and NCAA Football 2005 in exhibition games against each other, but others, like Overland Park junior Hanluen Kuo, create leagues and try to get more students involved.

Kuo loves video games. He has played them his whole life.
While playing *Madden* a few years ago, Kuo realized he could play a season and control more than one team. He manned one team while his roommate manned another. Last year, two more people joined the group — each player controlled his team for the whole season.
"We did a fantasy draft," Kuo said. "Everybody was a free agent, and we went through and picked our teams, just like fantasy football. We control our teams, and the computer controls the other 28 teams."
This year, the league has 12 players. They put their names in a hat at the beginning of the season to determine which team they would be given. This year's draft took almost four hours.

Kuo is tied for the best record in the league with Shawnee Mission junior Billy Voelker. They are both undefeated. Kuo started the league because of his love for *Madden* football and sports in general. It also gives his friends an opportunity to have fun together.
"It's just like fantasy football, but we actually play the games," Kuo said. "It's a lot of fun."
Wallace, like all members of the league, knows that without Kuo's hard work and dedication, the league wouldn't be possible.
"He spends hours each week working on stuff for the league," Wallace said. "We really appreciate everything that he has done for us, but I'm going to enjoy beating him in the playoffs."

The group's ultimate goal is to get 32 people in the league. Anyone interested in playing during the spring season should e-mail Hanluen Kuo at ichikuo@ku.edu.

"I have really found that I have limitless opportunities to learn how to run activities and fundraisers," Wedel said.
The fundraisers will help the club grow, Wedel said.
"We just need to make sure we do not limit ourselves. We want to involve more people who are interested in careers in sports and help them to get the first hand information that is so crucial in a competitive field."
The club is non-major specific, which is different from other clubs on campus. Galvin said he wanted people to realize how many majors could relate to the club, especially journalism and communications majors because of the advertising experiences available. Campus sports teams that are not Division I or University-sponsored have contacted the group for help with public relations. Galvin said.
At least once a month, a speaker will come address the group. Former speakers include Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, athletic directors and Jay Hendricks, former chairman of the Williams Fund.
Brett Siegel, Buffalo Groves III., junior, said he found motivation in the speakers the club invited to campus. He said it was good to have a variety of speakers because it gave a positive outlook into careers members might be interested in.

Sproles' season has not been without miscues, however.
In the game against Texas A&M, Sproles lost two fumbles on punt returns.
In the Wildcats' two losses to Fresno State and Texas A&M, Sproles had a combined 98 yards rushing.

fourth quarter.
On Nebraska's second offensive possession of the fourth quarter, Harris intercepted a pass by Joe Dailey, Nebraska sophomore quarterback, at the Kansas 49 yard line and returned it to the Nebraska 26 yard line, giving Kansas excellent field position.
The Jayhawks gained two yards on the next three plays and faced a fourth down and eight situation. With about nine minutes to go in the game and his team down by six points.
Mangino opted to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking the field goal. The attempt failed, and the Jayhawks came away with no points.
Mangino said the team's inability to gain yardage on first and second down hurt its chances of converting turnovers.
"We think about it like all of the little things that we could do better," Randle said. "All of the little things come back to haunt you at the end of the game."
"Off of getting a turnover, we have got to come out and bam, make a good play on first and 10," Mangino said.

Chiefs' victory encourages team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
- KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At 1-3, the Kansas City Chiefs aren't where they would like to be.
But a 27-24 victory Monday night at Baltimore sent the Chiefs into their bye week feeling better about themselves, their program and their chances of salvaging the season.
"All this means is that we will not be 0-16," coach Dick Vermeil said yesterday. "There still is a lot of work, a lot of hard work to do."
"But I think last night just demonstrated that we're better than our 0-3 record that we took in there. And that we can play good football, that we did last night. And when we do, we can win."
Vermeil said speculation about the imminent collapse of his team was not what motivated the players to make the best effort of Kansas City's season.
"The staff's ability to handle adversity properly over the last
three weeks led to a positive contribution to our players' handling it properly." Vermeil said. "We played a pretty good football game against a pretty good football team in a real tough environment. I salute those guys."
Priest Holmes, in the town where he started his NFL career, carried 33 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns. That pushed his season total to 476 yards rushing, tops in the league.
Holmes has run more 100 yards in three of four games this year and became just the fourth running back since 1970 to reach 5,000 yards plateau in 50 games or fewer.
Yesterday, Holmes was named the AFC offensive player of the week.
"What's great is having the league's No. 1 rusher back in Kansas City, leading the league in rushing." Vermeil said.
The players scattered for their week off and will be back
on Saturday to begin preparing for their next game, Oct. 17 at Jacksonville. When they get back to work, they figure to have wide receiver Eddie Kennison back after a two-week absence. The only regular who might still be out is defensive tackle Ryan Sims, who pulled a hamstring Monday night diving for a ball.
In losing by three points to Houston, the Chiefs outgained the Texans 366 yards to 296, hogged the time of possession 35 minutes, 7 seconds to 24 minutes, 53 seconds, and had 25 first downs to 18 for the Texans.
For the second straight week, Kansas City dominated in first downs, total yards and time of possession. The outcome in those games, however, has been one three-point loss and one three-point win.
At Baltimore, while eking out a three-point win, Kansas City had 398 yards to 207 for the Ravens, rolled up 25 first downs
to Baltimore's 13 and 8 of 16 third downs to Baltimore's 1 of 8.
In the two games combined, the Chiefs have run 147 plays while the opposition has put the ball in play only 95 times.
From looking at those statistics, it seems Kansas City should have routed both opponents.
"Sometimes when you've been a very big-play team offensively, the No. 1 thing people do in the offseason is study you and work on ways to make sure they take away some of those big plays," Vermeil said. "We came very, very close to having some big plays last night."
Meanwhile, the Chiefs released punter Jason Baker for the second time in less than a month. Baker was released right before the season opener and replaced by Steve Cheek. He was re-signed when Cheek hurt his leg, but Cheek is expected back for Kansas City's next game.
Freed from jail, free agent signs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The Denver Nuggets signed free agent forward Rodney White to a 2-year deal yesterday, a day after a judge allowed him to leave Washington D.C. for the first time since his arrest last month on a gun charge.
White's future in the NBA was in doubt after a Secret Service officer arrested him and two other men Sept. 5 for randomly shooting a gun in the air. White spent 10 days in jail and wasn't allowed to go 30 miles outside of Washington until Monday.
"I'm so thankful that the Nuggets stood behind me during a tough time," White said Tuesday, the first day of Denver's training camp. "Everybody let me know that this was home and I'm happy to be back. It was a mistake, just being a little stupid. I learned from it, I learned a valuable lesson, and I'm moving on."
White still faces a felony charge of unlawful discharge of a gun, but Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandwegehe said he expects that to be reduced to a misdemeanor or less through a plea bargain. White's contract can be voided if he is convicted of a felony.
Vandewheghe has prided himself on bringing in players who can be role models in the community since becoming Denver's GM three years ago. He said White's incident was an isolated case.
"Rodney's been part of our family for two years now," Vandweheghe said. "Been great, been a good player for us and been a great individual. We all make mistakes. This was something that was non-intentional. He acknowledges it was a mistake and will try to turn it into a positive."

Editoi's Note Louise Stauffer
this university is a place many love to call home. So in following this year's homecoming theme "Hawktoberfest, : Home Is Where the Hawk Is," the staff has written about people who call the University home in one way or another. Some chose to return after graduating to teach, some participated in homecoming traditions, and some went on to fame. No matter where all of us end up calling home, we'll always have one at this university as well.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
When the homecoming parade makes its way down Jayhawk Boulevard Saturday morning, a few University of Kansas homecoming queens might be waving at the crowd, but their crowns will be no less than 35 years old.
KU crowned its last homecoming queen in 1969. Citing an adverse political climate, it did away with the tradition the next year
"There was a lot of unrest then — there was the Vietnam War, and a lot of people protesting and everything." former homecoming queen, Cynthia Geiger, said.
coming queen, Cynthia Geiger. The Kansas Alumni Association has invited the University's past queens to return to Lawrence for homecoming and participate in Saturday's parade.
Saturday's parade.
Although Geiger says she probably won't attend, she still remembers her reign vividly.
Geiger was crowned queen by then Governor William Avery at halftime of the football game against Nebraska in 1966. But even on the field, she could feel that times were changing.
An important face was missing from the crowd. Having received a military draft notice, Geiger's fiancé was away completing basic training.
Geiger's sorority, Pi Beta Phi, nominated her to compete with representatives from other living groups on campus, including residence halls and scholarship halls, for the title of homecoming queen.
"They made a really big deal of it — we traveled all over the state and did interviews on TV." she said.
Barbara Keating, crowned in 1962, also found that her duties as queen extended
She remembers appearing on one television program between track star Jim Ryun and future NFL hall-of-famer Gayle Sayers.

Along with the University of Missouri's queen and the American Royal queen, Keating presided over the grand opening of Kansas City's Ward Parkway shopping center, where they waved their "magic wands" and were escorted by a group of handsome young men.
beyond riding around Memorial Stadium in a convertible.
Keating learned of her selection as queen at a gathering in front of Strong Hall before the football game that year. After a parade down Massachusetts Street, Chancellor Clarke Wescoe and Governor John Anderson crowned her at halftime.
"They each kissed me on the cheek, and was just kind of an exciting thing," she said.
According to 1945 queen Joy Bates, the University didn't always take the homecoming queen tradition so seriously.
Bates doesn't owe her selection to careful deliberation by faculty and staff. The year of her reign, the University entrusted the decision to the K-State football team.
Bates said homecoming organizers interviewed each candidate on color film, then shipped the tapes away to K-State, where the rival team made the final decision. The University played K-State in the homecoming football game that Saturday.
Bates' coronation was equally lighthearted. On the Friday of homecoming week, the candidates gathered in South Park before the beginning of the parade down Massachusetts Street.
Massachusetts Street "Dean Malott was the chancellor, and had on a nightshirt — he was a real tall, very handsome man — and then he announced that I was the queen," she said.
After the ceremony, Bates and her two attendants climbed into a convertible with the pajama-clad chancellor, and the four led the parade down the street.
Considering the silliness of her experience as queen, Bates hates to see that the tradition has ended.
"I just considered it a nice compliment and a fun thing," she said. "You didn't put a lot of emphasis on it."
But according to Jennifer Alderdice, director of student programs at the Alumni Association, the tradition had begun to seem politically incorrect by the 1970s, when it was discontinued.
"Homecoming queen" has a connotation of a popularity contest," she said. "The last year they did it, they decided it was inappropriate."
Instead of a crown, the University began presenting two students with an award for leadership, scholastic achievement and community service in 1991.
continuing services.
After completing an application and interview process, one male and one female student receive the Ex. C.E.L. award, which includes a $500 cash prize, at halftime of the homecoming football game.
Geiger doesn't mind leaving the queen tradition in the past. If she returns to KU this weekend, she won't be seeking the royal treatment
"I think my parade days might be over," she said. "But I'll see."

Love and marriage, Jayhawk style
BV PAGE BLAIR
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Your soul mate, partner or future spouse, may be just the around the corner. These four couples met at the University of Kansas and have been together ever since. Perhaps you'll meet your "happily ever after" here, Jayhawk style.
Prince and Princess Charming
Melissa and Randy Rolston are self-described, "story book KU sweethearts." Randy had not intended to take an art history class, but with his counselor's encouragement, he ended up in a most life-altering class. He arrived late and sat down next to his future wife, Melissa, and has since been eternally grateful. Their instant crush elevated into flirtacious pen fights, smiles and winks. The class traveled upstairs to the second floor
gallery and Randy said he "couldn't keep his eyes off her."
Their official first date was sledding down Potter's Lake on a snow day. Although she was a scholarly sophomore and he was a senior simply appreciating the social aspect of the University, they made it work.
Melissa explained that there were two kinds of couples; best friends, and those with intense chemistry. Although she had dated other people, "Randy, just did it for me," she said.
The Rolstons wed on Oct. 12, 1980, at Danforth Chapel. Melissa put on her bridal gown in the Kansas Union bathroom alongside gagges of sorority girls preparing for a Halloween party. The girls complimented her on her "costume," she said.
Even though their days at the University have long passed, Melissa said she still has a very, very serious crush on this Randy. She fondly remembers their crazy days of streaking through the Campanile.
The Ralstons live in Brookside, Kan., where they run Victorian Trading, a specialty store and mail-order catalog. This week they will be celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary. Their daughter Polly is a freshman at the University, continuing the third generation of av Hawk tradition.
Melissa Rolsten graduated in 1980, B.F.A. with Illustration and English.Randy Rolsten graduated in 1978 with a degree in graphic design.
Continuing a family tradition
Juli Jarvis (formerly Juli Chaney) came to the University expecting to meet her soulmate. Coming from a long stemmed history of KU couples, it seemed only natural. But she didn't expect to meet Paul Jarvis, her future husband, at the fraternity league in the Jaybowl. Juli assumed he already had a girlfriend, but when the two Kansas natives ended up catching the same ride home that night, he definitely did not.
It was a perfect match. She was a sophomore living at a Sigma Kappa house, and he was sophomore living at Sigma Nu. Their first date was at one of her sorority parties. They became permanent dates to endless Greek functions such as the Christmas formals and the White Rose Dance. But Juli also spent hours down at Potter's Lake helping Paul memorizing poetry. In return, he would bring flowers to the house, and takeout from Taco John late at night.
On Aug 2, 1975, they became the third couple in their family to marry fellow KU graduates. Starting back in 1922, Kenneth C. Harris and Fern Koontz married after studying business and education at the University. Their son, William Chaney, continued the tradition by marrying Patricia Harris, on Aug. 27, 1949, the summer after they both graduated. Then there's the third couple, Paul and Juli Jarvis, who currently live in Buffalo Wyo. Their daughter, Sarah Jarvis, is a KU freshman studying aerospace engineering.
Juli graduated from the University in 1975 with a B.A. in personnel anagement. Paul graduated in the same year with a B.A. in classical antiquities and English.

they be like a wimp.
"No matter how many people there are in college, life can be totally lonely until you meet someone you love spending time with," James said. "We fell in love really fast, and still are, I still think she is as beautiful as she was the night I met her at the Taco Grande."

During their last 34 years of marriage, they have lived in Colorado, New Mexico, a year in Europe and some time in Florida while James worked at Disney World. Now they live in Wichita and their identical twin sons attend the University.
Ruby graduated from the University in 1970 with a degree in secondary education. James graduated a year later with a degree in business.

Vandervelde's family was also accepting of his initial choice.

Murray and May both went to college outside of Kansas but returned to the University for graduate school. After growing up immersed in KU traditions and surrounded by alumni relatives the decision to come back was not a hard one to make.

"We have a boat named the Jayhawk," May said. "Everyone's always in KU gear and we look really out of place. It's a great time though, our grandfathers are always telling funny stories about when they were at KU."
For these six fifth-generation KU students, being a Jayhawk does not end at graduation, it is a title they will proudly bear throughout their lives.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A current student's view of the school may be totally different than the view of alumni of years past. To analyze the University of Kansas' evolution over the years, professors who studied at the University talked about their experience as students, way back when.
Phil Wedge was in the class of 1978. Wedge is a Lawrence native and now an English professor. His father taught English at the University as well. Wedge decided to teach because he loves Lawrence and the familiar atmosphere that encompasses it.
He was an undergrad at the "end of the hippie/disco era," and looking back, said that the student body goes in cycles.
wedge said.
The student body has grown significantly over the years. Wedge said that he remembered going to Allen Fieldhouse and walking table to table with a punch card to enroll in classes
"The school is drawing from a more diverse population. This makes a more culturally-diverse student body," Basow said.
"The population has doubled", Professor Bob Basow, class of 1967, said.
Back then, it was primarily white male, he said. Now, there is more diversity and integration.
Peter Ukpokodu, who got his Ph.D. from the University in 1985, agreed that the student body was diverse.
body was poked out. Ukpokodu said he liked the inclusion of international students in school politics. He remembered a protest of the stage production "Hair" because the lead role wouldn't be given to a black woman.
"There has been much change." Ukpokodu said. Now black students play roles other than Othello.
Though it has grown and diversified, some aspects of the student body have stayed the same.
Chuck Marsh, class of 1973, said that the students are still much the same. The student's work ethic was and is very strong, he says. "KU is a great university because of that. I hope it never leaves," Marsh said.
Professor John Tibbetts, class of 1969, thought that the students were more conservative now. He said that the campus was more anti-war and more activist back then.
same. The environment of the campus has also gone through many adaptations, both socially and politically.
activist back them "There has been complacency in the years past", Tibbetts said. He remembered seeing the student union get burned, and that the Chancellor called for a convocation, asking the students to calm down.
Tibbetts also remembered the Kansas Union as more of a hangout than it is now.
"You used to be able to buy beer and smoke there," he said. "Now it's more sterile."
Opinion of the campus's socio-political awareness will differ, though, depending on where you are from and when you were a student here.
Distinguished Professor Donald Worster, class of 1963, came to the University from a small town in western Kansas. He said people made comments about him coming to "Red Hill," insinuating that the campus supported communism.

Other additions, such as west campus, reflect how the school has grown as an institution.
has grown as it does. Worster said that he was glad that the design of the campus' newer building remained aware of the campus's architecture. Except for Wescoe Hall, "Everybody hates Wescoe", Worster said, it was a severe blow to the architectural beauty of the campus.
One tradition that has not changed is homecoming. It has been around for decades, and now, just as then, students can be as little or as greatly involved in it as they want to.
in it as they waited. Marsh would never miss a football or basketball game. He said he "wouldn't be able to talk on Monday because he had screamed so much". Worster, on the other hand, said that he went to couple of games, but "sports played no significant role in my college experience."
experience. "Homecoming was a bigger deal back then", said Marsh. "There were more floats and parades."
Homecoming may have been a bigger deal in the past, but it still serves a purpose. Basow said that homecoming acts as a rite of passage. He said it exists because it was a good way for alumni to come back and show their family where they went to school.

Janet Merrick was crowned the University of Kansas' last Homecoming queen on Nov.7,1969.The tradition was dethroned the following fall because, according to the University, selecting a single woman to represent all others was "inappropriate in a multicultural environment." (KUhistory.com)
Political unrest "kills" queen competition makes nationwide news
On Nov. 7,1969, three senior women stood at the 50-yard-line of Memorial Stadium awaiting the climax of their two whirlwind weeks as Homecoming queen finalists.
queen mints.
But strife clouded the pageantry. Anti-war demonstrations and stormy race relations were beginning to tear apart the Lawrence campus. The Black Student Union, dissatisfied with the University's selection process, elected its own royalty, Lorene Brown, Value, Miss., freshman.
"The political climate on campus was very hot and it weighed heavily on me," recalled one of the queen candidates, Candice Heavin Benn, 1970 graduate.
Heavin Bem, 1970 graduated "Something like the Homecoming queen contest paled in importance to the Vietnam War, but it was a bright spot for me. We were treated royally. We traveled around the state and gave interviews on radio and television shows. It was good outreach for the University," she said.
Nevertheless, Kansas crowned its final Homecoming queen that day when the tiara went to Janet Merrick, Shawnee Mission senior.
The tradition was halted the following fall. "It seems inappropriate in a multicultural environment such as a university," the committee's statement read, "to select one or a group of young women to represent that community. The 1970 Homecoming committee deems it more appropriate to recognize those who embody the academic spirit for which this community was established."
A Chicago Sun-Times editorial expressed support: "Kansas is less corny," the story declared. "The campus queen contests are
as far from the purpose of a university as air conditioning is from the worries of the city fathers of Reykjavik, Iceland." The Topeka Capital-journal put it most succinctly: "The Queen," it proclaimed, "is dead."
The University continued to crown academic royalty during Homecoming, applauding the winner of the Honor for an Outstanding Progressive Educator (HOPE) Award, the only teaching award bestowed exclusively by students.

Tailgating a tasty tradition; rising in popularity
KU
Tailgaters enjoy the outdoors and traditional food for the activity.Many people don KU attire for the occasion.
BY NATE KARLIN
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Three hours before kickoff; it's too early for students to pick their seats in Memorial Stadium. But for Rhonda Percival, it's the perfect time to throw some steaks on her KU grill with 12 friends while sipping a cocktail with students and fellow alumni.
Parked in the grassy lot at the corner of 11th and Mississippi streets, the Olathe resident, who liked to maintain a variety of meals throughout the season, chooses a meal for that particular game of steak, chicken or her favorite, fajitas. And, of course, she maintains the tailgater's priority:
the tangerin's priority. "We like to have a few beers before the game," she said.
The University of Kansas did not invent the leisurely activity of tailgating. But a rising football team in recent years and a welcoming atmosphere has sparked an increase in enthusiasm and number of people who enjoy tailgating before football games.
before football games. Andrew Steinberg, assistant director of athletics for marketing, said the University noticed a stronger tailgating presence going into last year's season, which included more pop-up tents, additional grills and larger groups of people.
people. "There's energy out there," he said. "I think people are excited about the direction of the football team. There are more tailgaters present than in years past."
years past. For several years, events and activities have accompanied age-old traditions of grilling and drinking to help increase the University's positive tailgating atmosphere, such as Hospitality on the Hill and the Hy-Vee Fun Zone.
The Hospitality on the Hill program, according to the Athletic Department Web site, was designed to enhance the tailgating atmosphere for large groups, including businesses, alumni gatherings or birthday parties. Groups would receive a tent package including: a private tent on the Campanile hill, tables, chairs, garbage bags, personalized sign for the group's name and one parking pass. Tent package prices range from $400 for a 25-person group to $1000 for a 150-person group.
Tailgaters who bring their kids to football games could enjoy the family atmosphere at the Hy-Vee Fun Zone, located southeast of Memorial
Stadium. The fun zone offers face painting, inflatable games and other activities for families.
Percival said this family-oriented atmosphere was one of the main reasons she has continued to enjoy tailgating at the University. She said her husband could take the kids to get their faces painted or tattooed while she grilled some food.
ginned some food. "There's something to do for everyone," she said. "It's hard to find."
For example, she said she would never take her kids to Chiefs games. She said that atmosphere would just not be right for them. However, her kids have attended every KU football game.
Although the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere had made tailgating more enjoyable for alumni, the atmosphere at the University had made football games more enjoyable for students as well, such as Mark Schwartz.
The Denver junior had tailgated dozens of times at the University of Colorado, a traditional football powerhouse, but he said Memorial Stadium had a more enjoyable tailgating atmosphere.
He said he saw more students tailgate here than they did at Colorado. Tailgaters there consisted mostly of alumni and parents of students. "At KU," he said. "It's just a ton of students out there tailging having a good time."
time.
Along with the greater number of students, he said the peripheral settings that surround the tailgaters each game also made the experience more enjoyable and energetic.
able and energetic. "You're right outside the stadium, you can look in and see some of the players warming up and getting ready; the band comes right through."
the board comes in to tailgating outside the stadium, people could also setup a grill along Memorial Drive and on the south side of campus in the parking lots by Robinson Center and the Burge Union. However, the University does not permit alcohol consumption in those areas.
Regardless of the reason or location to grill food and mingle with friends in a leisurely fashion before a football game, Steinberg said he hoped students and alumni continued to maintain the safe, responsible tailgating atmosphere.

Hawktoberfest theme doesn't worry officials Homecoming theme hints at party, alcohol use not a big concern
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The 2004 Oktoberfest has ended, but the "Hawktoberfest" is just beginning. The 171st Oktoberfest ended on October 3, after 5.9 million people visited and drank about 5.5 million liters of beer.
This year's homecoming theme is "Hawktoberfest: Home is Where the Hawk Is." The Homecoming Steering Committee tried to create a theme that tied in with Homecoming happening in October, said Chris Kaufman, co-director of the committee. Hawktoberfest, based off the German Oktoberfest, celebrates the pride and tradition of the University of Kansas, said Kaufman, Denver senior.

Alcohol, in and of itself, is not a problem, but abusing alcohol and drinking under age is, said Barbara Ballard, associate director for Dole Institute of Politics civic programming and public outreach. Ballard said alcohol use was a concern on every campus, but the link between the German festival

"What that really means is a celebration," Ballard said.
The problem lies in what people associate with a name, said Ballard, chair of the Alcohol Task Force from 1998 until 2003.

The Marching Jayhawks run into a stadium full of students and fans on game day to perform, but a lot of preparation goes into being ready for it.

During that week, the band practices from about 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. For the football game against Texas Tech, the band spent 14 hours of class time and two hours the morning of the game preparing for the show.

Hudson said those hours didn't include personal time band members spent memorizing and practicing music.

Hudson said he looks for dedication, a great attitude and pride in the University when he picks band members. People think they have to be music majors to be in the band, but anyone who has band experience can be a Marching Jayhawk, Hudson said. The

Mercer said she wanted to be a part of something that other people were happy to be a part of. The band looked like a good opportunity to meet people, Mercer said. The band's new uniforms have created new interest in the band from people, she said. People did not come to see the band in high school, Mercer said.

Pre-game is a complete adrenaline rush, Carroll said. She said she doesn't get nervous anymore
"I hate it. It bothers me so much. Like I just think about it and sometimes I'll be thinking about that while I'm doing work and so I will mess up on something else," Carroll said.
Carroll said she first became interested in the color guard when a friend, who was on the team, dragged her to a practice.
"I fell in love with it," Carroll said.
Color guard isn't hard to do as long as you have coordination, Carroll said.
The homecoming game on Saturday is Alumni Band Day. Hudson said more than 100 alumni are performing with the band. The band is performing songs that bands throughout the generations have performed.
Glen Opie, KU alumnus, is attending the band day at Saturday's game. Opie was a drum major in the band while he attended the KU School of Law. Opie graduated from law school in 1954.

Crisp fall air has swept into campus, the leaves are changing
it's time for homecoming again.
Students are getting out their chicken wire and flatbed trucks to build their "Hawktoberfest; Home Is Where the Hawk Is" homecoming floats, following in the footsteps of past jayhawks.
The idea of having a homecoming theme started in 1956, but parades didn't start until 1979.
Before the annual homecoming parade began, sororities, fraternities and residence halls built huge, statue-like structures out of tissue paper and chicken wire on their front lawns. On Homecoming Day, passersby would drive by the statues, causing traffic jams.
In 1979 the structures were made into floats, bringing the "parade to the people." The homecoming committee thought it would reduce traffic and increase participation among those who didn't have a front lawn.
These structures were evaluated and judges went by each house rating creativity, adherence to theme and appropriateness.
The first parade's theme was "Kansas: The Real Wild West." It started in the Joseph R. Pearson Hall parking lot, went down Jayhawk Boulevard to Mississippi Street and ended in the parking lot behind the Kansas Union. The parade was on Friday instead of Saturday, and started at 3 p.m. Classes were dismissed at 2:20 that afternoon so everyone could attend to celebrate.
Michelle Capra, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Delta Delta Delta homecoming chair, said building a float was a good chance to bond with friends.
"I got involved because I have a lot of friends in the frat house that we're doing it with this year," she said. "It's a great way to get to spend time with them."

How to build a kick-ass float — it ain't easy
By Eva Reed
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Every year at homecoming, Jayhawks old and new take to the streets to watch football, drink beer and look at floats. From the first homecoming to now, the floats take a life of their own. But not everyone knows how much hard work and effort it takes to build a kick-ass float. Fear no more, fellow Jayhawks, as we present you with five steps to build a kick-ass float.
1. Find the perfect fraternity or sorority to work with. Ryan Talley, Overland Park senior and vice president of alumni relations for Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, said he called this year's partner sorority, Chi Omega, and made his case as to why they should partner Talley told the sorority that Phi Kappa Tau was reliable, it won decorated vehicle in 2002 and took second place in decorated vehicle last year. Talley said after hearing the qualifications, Chi Omega members accepted the offer.
ing your partner in pomp, now comes the hard part: designing the float. There are two basic designs: a moving parts float and nonmoving float.
"A float is up to a tractor trailer in length and can't have anything moving. A moving parts float is more complicated and takes more work," said Andrew Ward, Overland Park junior and member of Phi Tau fraternity.
2. Come up with a kick-ass design. After you're done woo-
Steven Everley, Eudora senior and president of Triangle fraternity, said the homecoming chair and committee meet to discuss ideas.
"We just start going over all the materials we need. Most of what determines what kind of design you have is your budget, and since we do moving parts you want to do something that's elaborate and neat, but also want to do something possible," he said.
3. Buy all the basics. After you get your ideas and budget hammered out, now comes the fun part; buying supplies.
Although a float's glory only lasts for one day, expenses can run high.
"We usually have a budget of a little over $1,000 and we ended up teaming with another sorority and they usually have a few hundred dollars they can throw in," Everley said.
Everley named the basic float must-haves. Chicken wire, which can be found at Home Depot and Wal-Mart, is essential in building the frame. Colorful pomps must be purchased to cover the float. Why pomps and not crepe paper?
"It has to be flame retardant and it has to abide by fire safety standards." Everley said.
Tyler Dall, Overland Park junior and member of Phi Tau fraternity, added in another crucial element to float building.
"You need lots of two by fours," he said.
4. Work, work and ... more hard work! It takes a lot of hard work, people and effort to build a float. The closer it gets to the big day, the later students burn the midnight oil.
"There's people easily up to midnight or one o'clock usually for almost two weeks straight working on it. Usually the last week is crunch time with people staying up to three o'clock working. For the past three years, we've worked all night on the last night to get it done," Everley said.
After the frame is shaped anu built, the pomp is used to add
pizzazz to the design. Another important part of construction is staying consistent with the theme. Last year's theme was "Bringing Back the Classics," and Dall said Phi Tau built two Jayhawks that spun around. One was the current Jayhawk and the other was the 1906 Jayhawk.
"After we get the idea drawn up, it usually changes because things don't work. Last year with the time machine, the original plans didn't work because (the float) was rubbing up on the tire. We had to come up with a new way to change a small thing," Ward said.
But with all good plans, there are some mishaps.
Everley echoed the "whatever can go wrong, will" feeling in Triangle's experiences.
"Something that breaks at the last minute or we don't have the right color of pomps, it always comes down to the last dime in everything." he said.
5. Gloat over your float! Confidence is key. If you don't think your float's the best, the judges won't either.
"If you don't go into the competition with any confidence you're not setting yourself up for
any benefit or gain." Everley said. "You don't want to think 'We're gonna win anyway so it doesn't matter what we do.' But you also don't want to think, 'It doesn't matter, we're just going to enter.'"
With all this time and hard work some thrive on the competition of the event.
“I've heard some of the houses jokingly say they're out to beat Triangle because Triangle wins a lot,” Everley said. “We do have an advantage because our chapter is full of engineers and architects, so when it comes to an object that has moving parts we really know what to do and what to use and what we actually can accomplish. There really aren't any rivalries. It's not like it always 'this chapter versus this chapter,' that stuff doesn't really exist with the homecoming stuff. It more about cooperation and having a good time," he said.
So there you have it, the five steps to building a kick-ass float. For the amateur builder, Ward left this advice for a winning float: "I think a lot of it is creative idea and if you can build what your creative idea is then I think you can win."

Cosby brings back celebrity trend
BY LAUREN DEBARK
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The University of Kansas celebrated this year's Homecoming in style. Bill Cosby paid the student body a visit.
The 67-year-old comedian best known for his work on the 1980s sitcom, The Cosby Show, that aired for eight years, appeared at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets were $15 for students and $25 for general admission.
The University has had its share of famous faces during Homecoming. The Homecoming of '72 welcomed Ray Charles and Della Reese. The concert was originally scheduled for Allen Fieldhouse, but moved to the Hoch Auditorium because not enough tickets were sold. Reese impressed the crowd with songs like Proud Mary and It's the Real Thing. Ray Charles danced on stage and performed songs such as Yesterday.
songs such as You Are Homecoming of '73 made history with the arrival of Sonny and Cher. Before the duo's appearance, Allen Fieldhouse had never seen such an astounding turn-out. Sonny and Cher dazzled the audience with their flashy costumes, while singing hits such as I Got You Babe.
In 1974, Homecoming was celebrated with celebrities, such as Dionne Warwick and the Righteous Brothers. In the following years, however, celebrity appearances seemed to dwindle. Perhaps that is why Bill Cosby, a well-known public figure in many aspects, was invited for this year's Homecoming activities.
Many students may be curious
why such a big-name celebrity was chosen to entertain at this year's celebration. Chris Kaufman, homecoming codirector, said the committee members wanted to bring someone who would unite the University and the Lawrence community, rather than just having a football game.
"Most people thought Cosby would be speaking about education, but it's actually an hour and a half comedy act," Kaufman said.
Joan Grosdidier, administrative assistant for University Relations, said that inviting wellknown guests to Homecoming used to be a tradition at the University, but ended in recent years.
"Famous speakers like Bob Hope and the Beach Boys came to KU. That's when homecoming was a huge deal," Grosdidier said
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said he hoped bringing Bill Cosby to the University would help to revive an old tradition. Johnson said that Cosby travels to many universities. Johnson can remember as a student at Oregon State, Cosby appeared and entertained the students there, he said.
Bill Cosby has been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years. Although he is most often recognized for his humor, Cosby also has a passion for education and community involvement. He received his master's and doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts.
Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille Cosby, have 5 children together. Their son, Ennis, was murdered at age 27, on Jan.16,
1997, while fixing a tire off the freeway in Los Angeles.
Cosby is a civic activist who donates his time and money to philanthropies, including $20 million to Spelman College.
Cosby is seen as one of the most influential entertainers in America. He has won a number of awards during his career, including 8 Grammy Awards. He was also the first AfricanAmerican performer to win an Emmy Award for his role in I Spy.
He recorded eight certified Gold Record Albums, received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, wrote numerous books on The New York Times Best Seller List, and proved to be the most effective spokesman for the Iell-O campaign.
jell-O campaign.
At times, his outspoken approach to such topics as the African-American culture receives less than favorable reviews; however, Cosby continues to voice his opinions. At the 50th Anniversary of the 1954 Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education, Cosby spoke about the consequences of not preparing African-American children for today's society. He criticized parents for buying their children expensive sneakers, rather than investing in Hooked on Phonics. His overall message was to work toward improvement through education.
When asked about pleasing others, Bill Cosby has said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone."

For example, The Wheel Pizza Co., 507 W. 14th St., still serves the "Kappa Burger," which was named after the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in the early '70s because of its members' love of Wheel hamburgers.
Traditions such as this are what alumni are looking forward to when coming home during Homecoming week.
Lawrence bars have worked hard to keep up with old traditions and start new ones. Signing the walls of the Wheel, once known as The Wagon Wheel, is a tradition that has been going on longer than can be remembered, and songs from the '50s through the '80s are still available on thejukebox, four for $1.
"This is one place where alum would be upset if things changed," said Robert Farha, Wheel owner.
An evolved Wheel tradition is its food. Once known as a place to grab a cheeseburger and fries or an afternoon beer, the Wheel is now celebrated for its late-night pizza. Though lunch is still served daily, the Wheel's "Pizza Pete" has made buying pizza after a late night of partying customary since 1997.
The Crossing Inc., 618 W. 12th St., also has its share of traditions.
"Every Monday a man comes in, who graduated in '58, just to look around, have a beer and tell stories," said Jake Shipley, The Crossing's general manager.

the 50-year-old structure. Ever since, students have headed straight to the Crossing after classes to get a beer, listen to music and sit outside to socialize. Shipley recalled going to the Crossing for Thursday Pitchers Day when he was a KU student in 1996. Friday Brown Bags are a recent addition. Drinkers can get a 32-ounce beer wrapped in a brown paper bag.
At Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. Second St., visitors can still get their picture taken under the original Johnny's Tavern sign or order one of the "world famous burgers" that have been around since 1978. A newer tradition of Johnny's is live Cajun music on the first and third Wednesday of every month.
Patrons of Jefferson's Restaurant, 743 Mass. St., can pin dollar bills on the wall with their artwork on them.
Since 1976, students have been going to Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., and Louise's West, 1307 W. Seventh St., to order 32-ounce Scooners and steal the glasses.
There are other traditions current KU students are starting, such as signing dollar bills and sticking them on the walls at Jefferson's Restaurant, 743 Massachusetts St., or purchasing jumbo margaritas at El Mezcal, 804 Iowa St. and 1819 W. 23rd St.
Tradition is a staple of Homecoming Week and a student's life at the University of Kansas.
A poem hanging on a wall at the Wheel sums it up: "Even
"Every Monday a man comes
in, who graduated in '58, just to look around, have a beer and tell stories."

Cosby brings back celebrity trend
BY LAUREN DEBIAK
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The University of Kansas celebrated this year's Homecoming in style. Bill Cosby paid the student body a visit.
The 67-year-old comedian best known for his work on the 1980s sitcom, The Cosby Show that aired for eight years, appeared at Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Tickets were $15 for students and $25 for general admission.
The University has had its share of famous faces during Homecoming. The Homecoming of '72 welcomed Ray Charles and Della Reese. The concert was originally scheduled for Allen Fieldhouse, but moved to the Hoch Auditorium because not enough tickets were sold. Reese impressed the crowd with songs like Proud Mary and It's the Real Thing. Ray Charles danced on stage and performed songs such as Yesterday.
Homecoming of '73 made history with the arrival of Sonny and Cher. Before the duo's appearance, Allen Fieldhouse had never seen such an astounding turn-out. Sonny and Cher dazzled the audience with their flashy costumes, while singing hits such as I Got You Babe.
hits such as Pink Floyd in 1974. Homecoming was celebrated with celebrities, such as Dionne Warwick and the Righteous Brothers. In the following years, however, celebrity appearances seemed to dwindle. Perhaps that is why Bill Cosby, a well-known public figure in many aspects, was invited for this year's Homecoming activities.
Many students may be curious
ing a football game.
"Most people thought Cosby would be speaking about education, but it's actually an hour and a half comedy act," Kaufman said.
why such a big-name celebrity was chosen to entertain at this year's celebration. Chris Kaufman, homecoming co-director, said the committee members wanted to bring someone who would unite the University and the Lawrence community, rather than just having a football game.
Joan Grosdidier, administrative assistant for University Relations, said that inviting well-known guests to Homecoming used to be a tradition at the University, but ended in recent years.
"Famous speakers like Bob Hope and the Beach Boys came to KU. That's when homecoming was a huge deal," Grosdidier said.
Richard Johnson, dean of students, said he hoped bringing Bill Cosby to the University would help to revive an old tradition. Johnson said that Cosby travels to many universities. Johnson can remember as a student at Oregon State, Cosby appeared and entertained the students there, he said.
Bill Cosby has been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years. Although he is most often recognized for his humor, Cosby also has a passion for education and community involvement. He received his master's and doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts.
1997, while fixing a tire off the freeway in Los Angeles.
Cosby is a civic activist who donates his time and money to philanthropies, including $20 million to Spelman College.
Bill Cosby and his wife, Camille Cosby, have 5 children together. Their son, Ennis, was murdered at age 27, on Jan. 16,
Cosby is seen as one of the most influential entertainers in America. He has won a number of awards during his career, including 8 Grammy Awards. He was also the first African-American performer to win an Emmy Award for his role in I Spy.
He recorded eight certified Gold Record Albums, received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, wrote numerous books on The New York Times Best Seller List, and proved to be the most effective spokesman for the Jell-O campaign.
At times, his outspoken approach to such topics as the African-American culture receives less than favorable reviews; however, Cosby continues to voice his opinions. At the 50th Anniversary of the 1954 Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education, Cosby spoke about the consequences of not preparing African-American children for today's society. He criticized parents for buying their children expensive sneakers, rather than investing in Hooked on Phonics. His overall message was to work toward improvement through education.
When asked about pleasing others, Bill Cosby has said, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone."

Activities change, but heart of tradition stays
BY JULIA COLLING
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
What is the real meaning of homecoming?
Technically,homecoming is simply the act of returning home. But to the University of Kansas, it is more than that.
"The importance of homecoming is huge, because it is when the University welcomes alumni and the community back to campus ... there is something for everybody on campus," Trisha Gresnick, adviser of the Homecoming 2004 Steering Committee, said.
2004 Bench Henry Fortunato, project director of the KU History Web site, sees it in a different way.
you see it in a different way "Homecoming has more significance for people who attended KU as an undergraduate student, than as a graduate student," he said.
Fortunato said that normally graduate students do not participate much in the University's activities, and do not get involved with Homecoming, while undergraduate students have a tendency to socialize more and get more involved with the University's traditional events.
There have been some changes to the week throughout time, but has the meaning of homecoming changed?
"It still means the same," Jennifer Alderdice, Director of Programs for the Kansas Alumni Association, said.
Adam "It's different because there are more students involved in the planning, and there are also more events to be planned, for example bringing Bill Cosby to

campus. In the past, they used to bring big names, but that hasn't happened for a while." Alderdice said.
3—Groups participating in each event are judged, earning points for each activity
5 — On going chart with the points is kept by the Awards Chair
6 — The group who has more points is the winner, and receives the Overall Homecoming Award
7. — You have to go to the ceremony to receive the Award and that happens in the last day of Homecoming Week.
While in the past there was less organization and participation in the events, participation has became one of the most
important times of the year. This year, if you wanted to participate in the homecoming events, you had to apply early, earning points for each event. The point system can seem a bit complex. Laura Burrows, from the Steering Committee explained: The point system was created to evaluate who is the homecoming winner, that is who should receive the Overall Homecoming Award. Basically, the groups are judged in the competitive events and for participation, and based on that they assign first, second and third places. Burrows said that the Overall Homecoming Award is a participation award that symbolizes the school spirit, showing who is actively involved with Homecoming, stimulating the University traditions.
Lauren Jesse, the
Homecoming Awards Chair, said that there were some changes from past homecomings, for example, they did not use to count points for participation, and this year it is the first time that the Overall Award Ceremony is happening at the Kansas Union, and the winners of past years will be present.
of past years who will "Over the years, Homecoming has increased, becoming a much bigger event, including the whole community. We want it to be possible for all students to participate," Jesse said.
"People come here to relive some of their memories, to retrace their footsteps. You can back home and home needs to make you feel comfortable." Barbara Ballard, associate director of the Dole Institute of Politics, said.
Termination of rowdy Hobo Day bums out students
It was not exactly a bum's rush, but the unexpected ending of Hobo Day seemed sudden and sorrowful to at least some members of the KU community.
"Sadly the University laments the passing of one of its finest traditions," The University Daily Kansan editorialized on Nov. 21, 1939, when it became clear that Hobo Day was to be

Day was to be no more. "For 17 years students have been enjoying this yearly festival of rags ... No longer will we experience an expression of the idealism that is inherent in all youth."
youth.
Yet what the Kansan thought of as idealism, University officials knew could often become a near riot. Each year in late fall from 1923 on, many KU students had marked this day by dressing in boorish Hobo costumes and dreaming up all manner of street theatre celebrations. The wild party atmosphere of Hobo Day
swept all parts of campus; for years the University even supported the occasion by canceling afternoon classes.
With all that, the end of Hobo Day came about inadvertently. In 1939 a student group petitioned the University Senate to cancel classes so that students might attend the national cornhusking championship held near Lawrence. The Senate, which surely contained faculty who wished to see Hobo Day disbanded, voted to substitute the Hobo Day vacation for the cornhusking championship.
Although a few students belatedly tried to revive the custom, this administrative end run was not to be reversed. As the Kansan noted, the event fostered school spirit, but "in that it provided students an excuse for cutting classes needlessly, for destroying property, and for causing a great deal of unnecessary trouble, its passing is to be acclaimed."
Hobo Day began with the age old undergraduate need for beer money. In 1894, KU's campus was
site of a convention of used clothes buyers. Students rushed to swap their old duds for cash, badly needed given that the then annual "beer bust" in Kansas City was quickly approaching. The clothiers did brisk business, and decided to make their stop in Lawrence an annual affair.
Lawrence is an annual Enterprising students soon developed the idea of combining the beer bust with a special event that featured old clothes, and Hobo Day was born. Prohibition briefly derailed the celebration, but in 1923 students reinvented the tradition as a massive pep rally held before the annual Kansas-Missouri football game.
Missouri football game
The rehabilitated event featured students dressed in outlandish Hobo costumes, pep rallies, dances, bonfires and, at times, property damage and fistulocs between students and professors.
An article in the Kansan described the required outfit: "Old clothes, the older the better, plenty of paint, burnt cork, and... a corn-cob pipe are the main essential of makeup of a good 'hobo.'"
Soon, the raucous events became an integral part of homecoming festivities. The Kansan reported on particularly successful Hobo Day in 1925 in which Missouri's tiger mascot was captured "with the aid of hounds" as it was "perched in a tree ... The beast was executed and then dragged to convocation."
A red bandana carrying one's worldly possession was recommended, but not considered absolutely essential.
dragged to convince In its time, participation in Hobo Day was a virtual requirement. "The students who thinks himself out of the hobo class," warned the Kansan in November 1954, "is apt to lose his clothes and perhaps his dignity." The Kansas City Star, writing with a sense of bemused wonder, dubbed the Hobo Day atmosphere "Hobohemia."
From the beginning the raucous Hobo Day combined rallies with street theatre. In 1919, two students founded Doc Yak's Medicine Show, which soon became a Hobo Day staple. Doc
Yak imitated the medical hucksters of so-called Patent Medicines (which were usually neither patented nor medicinal) by combining the instincts of the carnival barker with the latest in medical quackery. He advertised himself as a "Purveyor of Pink Pills for Pale People" and held massive on-campus rallies. Taking Doc Yak's medicine was said to ensure a KU victory.
Perhaps fueled by too many pink pills, student Hobo Day behavior crossed the line from rowdiness to criminality more than once. Hobos raided grocery delivery trucks in 1926, and the resulting food fight included the collateral damage of professors hit with flying food. Other reports noted that a "hobo" and a professor engaged in "hand to hand scuffle."
scume. Little wonder that in 1926 the Graduate Magazine warned that Hobo Day "smacked almost too much of the real hobo spirit and may have wrecked a well-formed custom." In 1932 law students attempted to wreck the well-
formed Hobo Day custom by wearing fine clothes replete with rose boutonnieres to a Hobo Day rally. The ensuing battle between law students and those dressed in traditional attire raged until broken up by an assistant football coach.
Consequently, it is no surprise then, that the University Senate seized its chance to quash the hobo festivities. And yet one writer for the Kansan spared no rhetorical extravagance while lamenting the passing of this wild tradition.
"Student loyalty to the University will stagger under a death blow," editorialized the paper; "The good of this institution to postery may be blotted out forever. For loyalty is based on tradition, and loyalty assures the preservation of the school. It is with streaming tears, therefore, that the student body sees in the abolishing of Hobo Day the first step toward a desecration of the sanctity of tradition."

Themes reflect changes in times, life at University
BY KIM CARMICHAEL
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
According to the 46th Annual Catalog of the University of Kansas, in 1912 there were 2,546 students enrolled at the University, compared to 27,463 students enrolled today.
During "Hawktoberfest, Home is where the Hawk is," this year's homecoming theme, spirit at the University of Kansas will be high. The tradition of homecoming stretches back 92 years. For nearly a century, students have been celebrating homecoming, a week of festivities before a football game against the University's biggest rivals. Times, fashions and ideas have changed over the years but homecoming still has a big impact on KU students.
On the first night of homecoming, KU students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered around a large bonfire in front of Old Fraser Hall. On the top of the bonfire they laid a large wooden tiger to symbolize the hope of victory over the University of Missouri in the football game that was to be played the next day. The University of Kansas football team had started the season with excellent prospects. The next day, a crowd of 10,000 cheered on the Jayhawks as they defeated Missouri 12-3. Other festivities included a dance following the football game — revelers celebrated late into the night. The first homecoming was such a huge success and so important to people that the event became a celebration that lasted all weekend.
The first homecoming was in November 1912. This was the year women were given the right to vote, the Titanic sank, and Woodrow Wilson became president.
There was no sponsorship, the Memorial stadium was yet to be built however, over that weekend a tradition still celebrated today was born.
Over the many years of homecoming there have been various themes. Fifty years ago, Jayhawks were anticipating a victory over Nebraska. The theme for the
The first homecoming was in November 1912. This was the year women were given the right to vote, the Titanic sank, and Woodrow Wilson became president. According to the 46th Annual Catalog of the University of Kansas, in 1912 there were 2,546 students enrolled at the University, compared to 27,463 students enrolled today.
1954 homecoming was "Show Your Spirit." The Women's Pep Organization distributed 5,000 special badges urging, "Beat Nebraska."
Forty years ago, students were preparing for "The Greatest Show on Earth," the theme for the 1964 homecoming celebrations. A sellout - crowd of 45,000 packed in to Allen Fieldhouse to enjoy the Kansas v. Nebraska game.
Similar to this year's homecoming theme, "Hawktoberfest, Home is where the Hawk is," Jayhawks of 1984 celebrated with a theme of "Oktoberfest."
The students of 1984 partied at a pregame picnic and ate "Oktoberfest" hotdogs. This homecoming picnic was followed by the Jayhawks v. Oklahoma game.
Like the very first homecoming, gatherers danced late into the night, this time to the sounds of a swing band.
The party continued, and 1994 saw "The Spirits Come Alive" at homecoming. The University of Kansas marching band led floats down Jayhawk Boulevard to Wescoe Beach.
From the very first homecoming in 1912 to this year, the Jayhawk has presided loyally over the celebrations. The only question is, what do Jayhawks have to look forward to in the future?

It is ninety-five degrees and the sun is beating down onto Memorial Stadium. The football team scores the first touchdown of the game and the student section goes crazy. In front of the student section parades the Jayhawk mascot.

"I have always been a KU fan and have wanted to be Big Jay since I knew how to say 'Jayhawk,'" said Tim Welch, Salina sophomore.
Being Baby Jay and Big Jay can sometimes become a challenge for those on the inside. The costumes rotate between nine people. While Baby Jay sees through the eyes, Big Jay sees through the mouth.
"It is hot and horrible on the inside. People always are pulling and tugging, but yet it is awesome to be a Jayhawk. About a fair balance,"said Chris Veit, Overland Park senior and also a Big Jay.
and also a big jaywah. Being a Jayhawk can also be time consuming. The mascots typically practice three hours a week and are required to attend games of all athletic teams at least once, travel
away to football games and basketball tournaments as well as weddings, birthdays and various events.
"You have to love what you do because it can be a big commitment," said Jessica Virtue, Lawrence senior and a Baby Jay.
Before each game, there are traditions that the mascots help carry out: the circle run at basketball games and the fight song, rock chalk chant and Alma Mater. Sometimes when there is a great basketball play or touchdown, the mascots are seen crowd surfing.
"Fans will try to get you to crowd surf by picking us up Luckily we have body guard to help with this." said sophomore Elaine Jardon from Overland Park, a Baby Jay. But sometimes being a mascot can have it's downs when other schools are disrespectful.
schools are disappointed.
"The first game I did in 2003, I got jacked by the Jackson State Gamecock. It was cool though because as some fans may remember, I "beaked" him real good," said Adam Reese, Big Jay Manhattan junior.
For those behind the uniform, it is of importance to carry out the legacy of the Jayhawk mascot. "It is an honor that makes me feel proud to be a KU student. I really feel like I bleed crimson and blue. I have never been so proud in my life," said Jesse Plosse, Leawood junior and a proud Big Jay.

A lot has changed, but there are advantages and quirks to being an older student
I have to admit that I've never paid much attention to the whole homecoming thing. It was just one of those traditions that I couldn't relate to and didn't understand why I was supposed care about it.
To me, it was just an event where a bunch of dorky alums clad in red and blue would inevitably wind up plastered to the walls of The Wheel after too many pitchers and anecdotes that ended with the phrase "Dude, I was sooo wasted."
But this year it's different. After a 13-year hiatus, I have returned to the University where it all began for me so long ago.
Upon returning to campus this fall I found myself in the strange position of having the first-day-of-school jitters while simultaneously feeling the nostalgia of an alumna.
Despite being on the verge of cardiac arrest as I reached the top of Mount Oread, I still had the proverbial spring in my step as I entered Wescoe for the first time in over a decade.
As I walked down the hall to my 8 a.m. class, my new backpack brimming with items from my overzealous shopping spree at Office Depot the night before, I felt more confident than I had in years. And then I got to my first class.
I was the first person to arrive and like a total nerd, chose a desk right smack in the center of the front row.
This was a far cry from my old habits, where I would have picked the spot that the professor was least likely to notice me drifting off.
When the classroom was almost at capacity, I glanced around at my fellow classmates.
I suddenly found myself in a very surreal place where not just some, but all of the people around me were at least 12 years younger than I was. Then
the teacher came in and I realized that I had at least five years on her too. Suddenly I felt cold and clammy and I desperately wished that I had chosen my old back corner seat. Instead I was right where everyone could laugh and point at the old woman sitting in the front row.
I fully expected Rod Serling to emerge with a cigarette and begin describing the bizarre set of circumstances that I found myself in.
One of the students sitting next to me began chatting me up and asking the usual questions, like my major, my hometowns, and when I graduated from high school.
By the time I got to my last class of the day I was getting used to the fact that I was different.
I swallowed hard and told him 1988.
He looked at me like I was from another planet and told me that he was four when I graduated high school.
eigh high school.
Then he kind of redeemed himself by telling me that he would have never guessed that I was that old.
Now, more than a month into classes, I've discovered that being older has its advantages. Since I already had my first college experience when I was younger, I don't feel the need to make up for it now.
I've already had the dorm experience and learned the evils of going to too many keg parties on Ohio Street.
I know that credit cards and poorly managed finances can cause serious long-term damage, and that I'm the one that will suffer the consequences when I skin classes.
COMMENTARY
Another great thing about being older is that I understand my mission much better than I did the first time around. I've been out in the world and I know what I want to do. As I sit in class I can actually apply it to

my real world experience, which is something that I really couldn't do before.
Now, rather than looking at my age as a detriment, I use it as my calling card. When I introduce myself to my professors I always point out that I'm the oldest person in their class and they laugh.
Even though it's nice that they get a kick out my sense of humor,my biggest success is that they remember me, despite the fact that they have hundreds of students.
Over the last few weeks I've taken notice of just how much has changed since I was here last.
For starters, in 1988 tuition was only $700 a semester, which is just a tad more than I spent on books this semester. In those days I typed all of my papers on a cheap Smith-Corona typewriter and I used card catalogues to do research.
Budig Hall had no computer center because it was still Hoch Auditorium and Watson was the only library. If I was up on campus and I needed to call someone, I paid a dime to use a payphone.

tones."
There were no students walking around campus with their cell phones pressed up against the sides of their faces or lee
If you wanted more than generic cafeteria-style food you had to leave campus all together and believe it or not, Folger's was about the fanciest coffee out there.
I must admit that I can't believe that I ever got along without all of the amenities this campus now offers.
There are some things that are still the same, of course. I'm pretty sure that the seats in the Wescoe lecture halls are the same ones I napped in 13 years ago and from what I can tell, KU on Wheels hasn't done much in the way of upgrading their transportation system.
A day without my doublegrande latte breve is generally not a good day.
SYSTEM
So I guess you could say that this year I finally understand why I should care about Homecoming. There really is something magical about coming home.
The only problem is that most of the time you have to go away for a while to really realize it.
As I walk through campus everyday I'm constantly reminded of more wild stories from my youth and I laugh to think that I was ever that crazy.
Every time I come to the corner of 12th and Oread streets I remember the time when I was working at Yello Sub and the Crossing started giving away free beer for an hour because the 'Hawks beat the Tarheels in the Final Four. And all of us "Sub" employees decided to just leave work and go next door.
My apologies to anyone that happened to be waiting in line for a sandwich that night. If it's any consolation, my karma totally caught up with me and I woke up on my apartment floor the next morning only to find that I'd puked in my sock drawer. "Dude, I was sooo wasted."
Scotland native learns meaning of celebration
- Andrea Sumpter is a Lenexa junior in journalism.
The question is, do Kansans know what it is all about?
Homecoming is always a special time of year. This year, however, it will be a wee bit extra special for me. This year is my first ever experience of such a tradition, but I'm going to have to let you in on a little secret; I don't actually know what "homecoming" is.
homecoming
Oh, and before you start scoffing and making jokes about these "ignorant foreigners" — neither do you lot! I at least have an excuse. I'm not from these parts. I'm from a land far, far away.
Glasgow, Scotland, to be exact, is where I would call home, and back home the concept of celebrating anything other than Christmas, birthdays and St. Patrick's Day is like asking a Jayhawk to root for Mizzou. And just for the record, Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, but it's a good excuse to get drunk, so we Scots have gladly adopted the March 17 celebration!
Anyway, I digress. I've spoken to several students on campus, and none could give me an indepth answer to the great philosophical question: What is homecoming?
honecoming.
"It's a week of partying," said one keen student before breaking into what can only be called and "interesting" rendition of some traditional KU anthem. Unsurprisingly, she asked to remain anonymous. Another student, Jeff Butcher, Springfield, Mo., freshman, claimed that he knew what it was before mumbling and bumbling his way through an explanation that included both the words "home" and "coming," but that was about it.
From what I have read on Web sites and in recent newspaper articles, the homecoming celebrations take place the week before our football team plays its biggest rival. In previous years this has been Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. More recently it has been Kansas State.
COMMENTARY
SAM ROBERTS
GARY MEENAGHAN correspondent@kansan.com
"I've spoken to several students on campus, and none could give me an in-depth answer to the great philisophical question."
When I tell people that I am ignorant to this homecoming legacy, they look at me as if I am an idiot. Whilst I may be an idiot, it doesn't change the fact that back in Scotland, homecoming just wouldn't work. Most students can't wait to leave university by the end of their degree, and even those who do actually enjoy intense work and long sessions in the library don't often find themselves attached to the actual place they study
And whilst the week preceding the game brings loads of fun events and competitions, it also invites alumni to return to Mount Oread and reminisce about fond memories of their times at the University of Kansas.
The University of Kansas has a far greater sense of community than I have witnessed at any other university I have visited, and it's great.
So I say on Saturday, when the Hawks run out on to the field at Memorial Stadium, we clap as loud as we can and sing to our heart's content. Just don't take your lead from the Scottish guy, he doesn't know the words. Yet.

The story behind crimson and blue
BY CATHERINE WILCOX correspondent@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
What colors come to mind when the University of Kansas is mentioned? Generally, crimson and blue.
But in the 1870's, sky blue and corn yellow were the official colors. One assumption is that these colors were decided by the first graduating class from the University of Kansas, according to www.kuhistory.com.
"Sky blue and corn yellow are such wimpy colors. They definitely needed to be changed," said Paola freshman Jay Warring.
and Papa Rusham in 1891 The athletic board in 1891 questioned these colors because of visible stains on uniforms. The board sought after darker colors, and given that the University was referred to as the "Harvard of the Midwest," colors were changed to crimson.
Then after much criticism, New York attorney John J. McCook suggested the University add either blue or black to the combination of crimson. In 1896, the University's athletic board choose crimson and blue, two colors together that had not been used by any other university. And more than 100 years later, crimson and blue are still the colors of the University.
In honor of the colors of the University, Crimson and Blue day will be tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 2 p.M. on the Stauffer Flint Hall lawn.
Anyone who sports the colors can claim free KU attire such as Jayhawk stickers and tattoos, beads and pom-poms. Also, a banner will be available to the KU community to sign, supporting the football team.
'Nightshirts'invade campus
The end of September 1957 found some long-standing customs contested, both in the nation and atop Mt. Oread.
President Dwight Eisenhower reluctantly federalized the Arkansas National Guard in order to overcome opposition in that state to the integration in Arkansas of Little Rock's public schools.
As the students on Mt. Oread took in all of these events (with most apparently supporting the action of Eisenhower and the decision of Armstrong), they found themselves contemplating the future of an increasingly questionable practice of their own. While segregation did exist in Lawrence at the time, that was not the tradition on the minds of University of Kansas undergrads. Rather, they pondered the future of what had been an annual event for more than half a century — the boisterous Nightshirt Parade.
The University Daily Kansan reported in September that the student body president was encouraging KU's All Student Council (ASC) to adopt some proposed changes that would end the annual affair.
end the annual sale.
He contended the Nightshirt Parades "had never been very popular" with KU students and expressed his hope that they would be replaced with "a football rally at Allen Field House ... followed by a social function."
And so in the midst of a debate over the future of the parade and on the night before a gridiron showdown between KU and Oregon State (in which the Beavers would prevail by a score of 12-0), 700 nightshirt-clad students gathered in the parking lot of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall. The assembly "swarmed across campus" to the "Student Union to pick up L.C. Woodruff, dean of students, Donald G. Alderson, dean of men, and Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women." Woodruff and Alderson both sported red and white striped pajamas while "Miss Taylor wore a matching night cap."
Cancellor Franklin D. Murphy where KU's chief administrator, dressed in a bright red nightshirt of his own, joined the crowd as it paraded to the Mississippi Street baseball field. After a rally led by the football team's Coach Chuck Mather in the field adjacent to Memorial Stadium, 250 couples attended a dance in the Student Union Ballroom, where they were entertained by melodious tunes of The Collegiates until nearly midnight.
a matching night cap. The procession then wound its way to the residence of
Although no one knew for sure at the time, as the ASC would not vote to end the traditional parade until the following year, when the festivities had ended that night, the University had hosted its final Nightshirt Parade. Another University tradition had gone quietly into the night.
The precise origins of KU's Nightshirt Parades are somewhat muddled. Reports exist of male University students gathering in nightshirts for spontaneous celebrations of Jayhawker football victories as early as the 1890s.
1890s. However, the first well-documented case of KU students donning pajamas for an outdoor celebration came in April 1902 and was not held in honor of an athletic victory of any kind but rather as a festive gesture congratulating the appointment of Dr. Frank Strong as the University's sixth chancellor. The Board of Regents had chosen Strong, a Yale PhD then serving as president of the University of Oregon, after a lengthy nationwide search.
Contemporary reports indicate that most KU students were delighted with the selection, particularly as Strong had a reputation for being "very much interested in athletic sports" and for interpreting "the caprices of youth that often incite indiscretions and pranks ... in their proper sense."
student body decided to give him an appropriate sendoff. Shortly before 10 that night, 100 or so KU students "beddecked in night gowns" congregated in South Park and, followed by "mobs of others in civilian attire," made their way to the Eldridge Hotel where Strong was staying.
When news spread that the chancellor-elect, who had been in Lawrence for final interviews, was going to cut short his visit and catch the 10:35 p.m. train back to Oregon, members of the

for the gesture, reminding them
that he expected to see "the
same kind of enthusiasm" when
he returned to Mt. Oread that
fall as chancellor.
The next well-documented occasion in which KU students paraded through Lawrence in their evening clothes came in the fall of 1905 and had its roots in the denouement of a violent KU tradition. On Thursday, Sept. 21 of that year, Chancellor Strong negotiated a truce between the freshmen and sophomore classes, bringing an end to the annual "fall numeral fight," a physical confrontation between male members of the sophomore and freshman classes that had become increasingly ferocious. Interclass rivalries at Kansas and other universities were often tainted with violence at the dawn of the 20th century.
Indeed the fighting served in many ways as a rite of male initiation. The best remembered example of these bouts at KU was the Maypole Scrap, but other clashes were commonplace and took little provocation to initiate. One year, such fisticuffs even erupted between
the freshmen and sophomore classes during chapel.
The first tenuous attempts to secure a peace between the two classes had come the day before. However, that evening "scouting parties of the two classes engaged in a hand to hand conflict on the rocky slopes of Adams Street." As the freshmen lost this fight, the next day they demanded an apology which the sophomores refused to extend and "but for the diplomacy of Chancellor Strong the effort for peace" would have proven abortive.
abortive.
Initially Strong, like his immediate predecessor Chancellor Francis H. Snow, had been inclined to favor the occasional interclass scrap for their potential to bolster manliness and class spirit. He changed his mind when two freshmen sustained serious injuries in the fighting of fall 1904, a result that also brought negative publicity to the University. Thus Strong persuaded the sophomores to apologize and convinced both classes to agree to bring an end to the scraps.
The following morning in his weekly Friday chapel remarks, Strong thanked the two classes for consenting to end the fighting. In possession of "the treaty of peace duly ratified and signed," the chancellor claimed to feel "much like President Roosevelt," who two weeks earlier had negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War. Strong didn't realize, however, that he had inadvertently played a role in initiating a new tradition on Mt. Oread that would in time be marked by a different sort of violence.
For that evening, which happened to be the day before the Jayhawker gridiron squad's first game of the season, the "sophomores and freshmen established a precedent ... when two hundred of them paraded the streets of Lawrence in night-shirts, instead of holding the regular class scrap."

'All-American' girl twirls her way to KU success

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
If you've ever attended a KU football game, you've seen this Jayhawk strutting her stuff in front of the Marching Jayhawks. You might also recognize her face from television or news publications.
from television of news publications Angelaea Busby, Lenexa senior, is the feature baton twirler for the KU marching band. She was also crowned Miss Kansas in 2003 and went onto compete in the Miss America pageant.
Busby has twirled with the band for the past three seasons. Last year, she took time away from school to dedicate her time as Miss Kansas 2003.
Since the age of 5, baton twirling has been a big part of Busby's life.
"My mother was a baton twirler, and she introduced me to the sport at a very young age," Busby said.

She performs at football games, events like Traditions Night, parades, and she also performed at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Fla., last winter break.
As the KU feature baton twirler Busby experiences things that many college students do not.
"It's an adrenaline rush to perform," Busby said, "I truly love to entertain audiences of all kinds."
She has won many awards, including more than 500 trophies, and last year she ranked second in the nation in
one-baton twirling.

The baton has been more than a form of recreational activity for Busby. She has put her talent to use and participated in many competitions.
Her most prestigious award came in 2003 when she competed for Miss America.
At the pageant in Atlantic City, N.J., Busby won the "Non-Finalist Top Talent Award" with her baton. This award put her atop the rest of the candidates in the talent competition.
Before competing for the title of Miss America, she first had to win the title of Miss Kansas.

"I went to schools across the state advocating good choices, saying no to drugs and alcohol, and addressing my personal platform issue of depression awareness," Busby said.
This tour of Kansas wasn't the first taste of advocating for causes. Busy is a spokesperson for The National Alliance for the Mentality III and the Kansas Children's Service League. She
is also an alumna of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Busby has kept busy at the University.
"I'm currently a journalism and pre-law major. I'm in a couple different honor societies. My goal is to become a legal counselor in the field of mental health policies," she said.

KANSAN STAP WRITER
Sarah Garner paused for a moment yesterday on the front lawn of Strong Hall to regain her composure.
The Jefferson, S.D., junior looked into the clear blue sky, received a hug from her friend and then continued to tell the assembled crowd about James R. Wolf, one of the 1,064 American soldiers killed in Iraq so far.
He was her friend, she said. Someone who enjoyed playing basketball and the bass, and who genuinely enjoyed life.
Those faces were on display yesterday as volunteers read the names of the American soldiers who died and posted pictures of them on the Strong Hall lawn in an event sponsored by Delta Force.
She pleaded with the crowd. "Every time you see a name, a face on the news, think of Jamie, and all of the people behind that person."
For every American name that was read over a loud-speaker, the speakers also added "and 15 Iraqi civilians," indicating the estimated 15,000 deaths in Iraq so far.

Rickesha Scott had her life together. She would be the first in her family to earn a bachelor's degree. Her 5-year-old daughter was going to kindergarten. She had her own apartment, and she was vice president for special events for the American Women's Business Association.
Two weeks ago, the phone rang. On Oct. 18, Scott will report for National Guard duty, knowing that soon she will be deployed to Iraq and will serve there for 540 days, about a year and a half.
THE WORLD'S GREATEST TEACHERS
Scott, Junction City junior, will be leaving Lawrence after she celebrates homecoming weekend, with her life packed into storage and her daughter, Keyara, enrolled in a new school.
"I called my mom and cried like a baby. I have to leave my daughter, my home." Scott said.
Scott will be a food service specialist in Iraq, but she still worries about the violence.
Scott joined the National Guard after she graduated high school in 1997 in order to finance college. Oct. 25 would have been the end of her contract, but after 9/11, an officer approached her about volunteering for the reserves and Scott signed up.
I know I'm not going to be fighting, she said,
but it's still a scare tactic to target support staff.

She was the first person in her family to go to college. Scott graduated from Cloud County Community College with an associate's degree in business. She came to the University of Kansas to pursue her bachelor's degree in business.

"I was going to be the first to get a bachelor's degree, too, but now my mom and my sisters are going to beat me," Scott said.
Scott comes from a family of three daughters, a mother who loves to spoil her granddaughter and a father in the military. It's hard to leave her family, but it's heart-wrenching to leave Keyara.
"When she firsts starts reading, I won't be there," Scott said. "When she turns 6, I won't be there."
Leaving her family
Keyara will be staying with Scott's parents in Junction City. It is a familiar place for her, and she will be going back to the school where she went to Head Start.
Shella, Scott's mother, already knows what it's like to have a family member leave for duty. Ricky Scott, Rickesha's father, is a sergeant in the National Guard and served in Desert Storm. Ricky

worries for his daughter. He remembers his own time abroad.
"Words can't explain it," Ricky said. "All I can say is we did what we were trained to do and I think we did it well."
When his daughter told him that she was leaving for Iraq, his first concern was her safety.

Rancic: Believe in your worth
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Bill Rancic had his first taste of capitalism as a 10 year old.
He said he mastered the art of making pancakes at his grandmother's home and served guests who left him $5 tips.
"I was running a makeshift restaurant out of my grandma's house," Rancic said.
Rancic, winner of the first season's The Apprentice, gave advice to a crowd of about 350, said Keith Ellis, special events tri-chairman for the homecoming committee. Rancic said he was successful in the business world because he asked a lot of questions and was willing to try new things.
He credited his victory to his practical execution, meaning he could deliver results; his agility, and the fact that he could convert risk into success.
"The recipe for success in America hasn't changed," Rancic said. "Take the

high road and stay away from politics and backstabbing."
"People respected the fact that we took responsibility for our actions," Rancic said. "Mistakes happen and people realize that."
One summer, he and his partner put neon flyers on boats with ink that bled when a storm hit.

world before he went on TV." Thudium, Wichita sophomore, said.
Matt Tyson wanted to see Rancic speak and is using Rancic's speech for a class assignment.
"I figured this guy would be the guy," Tyson, Olathe senior, said. "I think he's worked hard to get where he's at. It nays off."
"He was successful in the business
Rancie flew out this morning, much to the dismay of many women and possibly men in the audience. Several women asked what he was doing last night and where he was staying, but he wouldn't answer.
He said the rumor he auditioned for The Bachelor was false. ABC aired a tape of Rancie during an episode last season with bachelor Jesse Palmer.
Rancic is taping the third season of The Apprentice, which will premiere in January, he said.
An audience member asked if work experience during summers was more important than classes referring to a comment earlier in the speech. Rancic said no.
"If you can't make it in school, what makes you think you can make it in the real world?" Rancic asked.
Friday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Partnerships aid minority recruitment," stated that Krys Cole met Claudia Mercado at Cole's high school. Cole met Mercado during a University of Kansas multicultural program. Cole decided to come to the University because of student panel during her campus visit. The article also stated Cole helped a student come to the University and find a job. Cole did help a student come to the University and find a job, but they were two different students.

"It's a time to get together have a good time and see that we are all the same," Belstner said.
Tickets are $10, or can be purchased online at www.ku.edu/-qanda for $11. Eight local businesses will provide door prizes with a total value of more than $250.
"We've really gotten great support from the community," Maureen Warren, Queers and Allies social chair, said.
Other campuses are also invited to the dance. Tickets have been sold to students from Newton, Hays and Wichita.
The Douglas County AIDS Project and the Human Rights Campaign will have speakers available to answer questions and talk about issues that the queer community deal with. There will also be a table set up where people can register to vote.

"Maybe if they didn't feel comfortable getting their pictures taken at a prior dance, they can come and get a couple picture at this dance," Warren said.

Flu-shot clinics face dose shortages
NEWS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A day after the nation's flu vaccine supply was cut in half, officials scrambled to determine which cities and states will have the most dire shortages.
Communities have begun canceling long-planned flu-shot clinics. Hospitals suddenly stripped of planned supplies began searching for luckier neighbors that might share.
Aventis Pasteur will produce 55.4 million flu shots this year, 1 million more than originally estimated. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said yesterday.
But Aventis said it is unlikely that it can produce any more than before February or March, when flu season usually wanes.
Aventis has shipped 30 million of its doses and sold all but about 2 million.
Most of the doses are in the hands of private distributors, not state health departments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has began trying to track down exactly where those doses are, in an effort to help
direct vaccine to the youngest, oldest and sickest people those who need it the most.
The CDC could not estimate yesterday which regions would have the greatest shortages. The search probably will take weeks and will be voluntary.
and will be vulnerable.
The CDC cannot override private contracts that, for instance, allow for healthy office workers to get the shot instead of people in nursing homes. The agency hopes to soon open a hot line for patients and doctors to use to help find scarce supplies.
Told of scattered reports of healthy adults lining up for shots, CDC Director Julie Gerberding said health officials will urge mass-vaccinators to comply with the voluntary rationing.
The United States had expected a record 100 million doses of flu vaccine. But on Tuesday, British regulators unexpectedly shut down a second supplier, Chiron Corp. That held up the 46 million doses, destined for the United States, at the factory in England where the vaccine had been made. Manufacturing problems apparently led to the contamination of a portion of those doses.
Committees approve shorter classes
At last night's Student Senate Committee meetings:

KANASAN START WRITEER
Two Student Senate committees passed the resolution in support of changes to the university class schedule. The changes would go into effect Spring 2006.
The changes would include shortening classes held on Tuesdays and Thursdays by five minutes.
Another change would create more three-credit-hour Monday/Wednesday classes from 11 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
The schedule changes also would eliminate 7:30 a.m. classes from the University by moving the start time to 8 a.m.
These proposals came from Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, to increase class space and use in a growing University.
This would bump start times of all consecutive classes half an hour later.
This proposal still needs to approved by the full Senate.

SENATE
Because the group is open to about 60 students, who are selected through an application process, each year, the bill is in violation of Student Senate's rules and regulations.
Student Senate only funds groups that are open to all KU students.
A proposed amendment to exempt LeaderShape from this rule failed.
LeaderShape has been independently funded for the past seven years.
The following bills for organizations for general funding in the amount of $200 passed through two committees. These bills will be reviewed by full Senate next week.
- Asian Community Center,
which promotes Asian culture
Taiwanese Student Association, which helps
Taiwanese students adjust to life at the University
KU Model United Nations Club, which will participate in the regional conference
KU Dutch Society, which is a group that discusses Dutch language, politics and culture
American String Teachers Association, which promotes learning about string education and performance for string enthusiasts
Cultural India Club which provides Indian nationals with opportunities to interact with each other and with the community
Society for Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, which raises awareness of atheism, agnosticism and secular thought
A bill to pay for $330 for one year of phone and Internet usage for Soka Gakkai International-USA, which promotes peace, culture and education based on Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism
Two committees approved the following legislation:
A bill to give $150 to the Sexuality Education Committee for promotion of special events about human sexuality. The committee promotes sexual awareness with an ecumenical and interfaith program.
A bill to fund an Indian event cultural for $870 to the Cultural India Club
A bill to give $400 to KU Ballroom Dance Club for general funding and instructor fees.
The club teaches ballroom dance technique through lessons and informal practices.
The following bills were tabled and will be reviewed by committees again in two weeks:

Car theft. dark walkwavs make GSP-Corbin residents wary

KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Last week's armed car theft at the garage at 11th and Indiana streets has left residents at GSP-Corbin Hall shaken.
Corbin Hill snarked.
Abby Lindsay, Overland Park freshman, said she never felt comfortable walking from the parking garage to GSP-Corbin by herself. The armed robbery gave her a reason to worry.

past week. The average number of calls was one call a week since the program began last October.
Students can call and request two students to escort them any where on campus and up to three blocks beyond campus boundaries.
Dewesee said volunteers are sent out in pairs, and there is always a female and a male present to make the student feel more comfortable.
Volunteers are required to wear orange and yellow reflective vests and carry flashlights.
Lindsay and her roommate, Theresa Moehler, Wichita freshman, said they weren't aware the program existed until they read about it on a flyer in GSP-Corbin.
The women said they would probably use JayWalk in the future, and they would feel safer if someone from GSP-Corbin would walk students to and from
their cars, which sometimes are as far away as Memorial Stadium.
The Campus Safety Board is discussing the idea, said Chris Janish, Campus Safety Advisory Board chair and Wichita junior.
Janish said the board is considering ways to create JayWalk satellite locations at GSP-Corbin and Ellsworth Hall. The board will decide priorities at tomorrow's meeting at 1 p.m.
The program will be a top priority for the advisory board, Janish said.
Lighting is another issue the advisory board will discuss.
Janish said something needs to be done so students feel safer.
The advisory board asked the Campus Safety Office to increase patrol by GSP-Corbin, he said.
Lindsay and Moeller have noticed the police cars driving around the parking lot. But they said the increased patrol hasn't helped their nervousness.
helped them. Lindsay said they just don't feel as safe anymore, especially because they're women.
"It didn't seem like something like that could happen here," Lindsay said.
Incidents similar to the car
theft have happened in parking lots throughout campus at least two other times in the past year.
Last February, a man waved a knife at a student in the same parking lot.
A student was threatened with a knife when she was walking from the Lied Center parking lot to Daisy Hill last October.

Students must overcome fears to help save lives
We've all heard the horror stories. For no foreseeable reason, a person passes out after giving blood. Someone who knows someone we know got AIDS from donating blood. The needles give some people bruises the size of grapefruit.
The myths surrounding donating blood are mired in tales of good deeds gone wrong. Let's be perfectly honest: It might hurt when you get pricked with the needle. If your blood sugar is low, you might pass out.
All of these possibilities and many more are printed on the consent forms every donor signs before giving blood.
However, students cannot allow the fear of a bad experience keep them from donating blood. Also, if you've had a bad experience, you can't allow that to stop you from donating again.
The KU Blood Drive is a important event on campus because both the American Red Cross and the Lawrence Community Blood Center are in almost constant need of blood of all types.
The Red Cross' blood donations are shipped across the country to areas of need, such as Florida, where the blood was needed in the aftermath of the hurricanes this fall.
Meanwhile, the Community Blood Center's blood is shipped to many rural areas across Kansas
where blood is in low supply and high demand.
Both of these organizations are doing everything they can to save lives, and students need to step up to the plate and help them achieve this goal. According to the Red Cross, a one-pint donation has the ability to save up to three lives.
The fall blood drive at the University was last week. The final count for blood donations came in at 1,020, or just over 200 donations a day.
To the thousand or so students who donated blood, well done. Congratulations on saving over 3,000 lives. To the 96 percent of campus that did not donate blood, it's time to get into action. The next time a blood drive comes to the University, as long as you are eligible to do so, there is no reason not to donate.
If even half of the students on campus donated blood, the University could be responsible for saving up to 45,000 lives. That is a number well worth an hour of your time and a pint of your blood.
No one likes pain, and a fear of having a bad experience is understandable, but donating blood is too important to let fears stop you. During the next campus blood drive, stop by and give blood. It might hurt a little, but you can leave knowing that you personally saved up to three lives. That's worth a prick in the arm.

These days, you can't throw a stone inside a bookstore without hitting a book that denounces George W. Bush in one way or another. Most seem to deal with him telling lies, whether it be about Iraq—for which the jury is still out or his service in the military.
Democrats also guilty of lying
STEVE SPEAKS, IT MUST BE SO
What you don't see too many of are the books about John Kerry. It's not because Kerry hasn't told lies, because he has. It goes back to a phenomenon another liar divined.
Richard Nixon called his supporters the Silent Majority because of the conservative tendency to shut up and vote and get the job done that way.
10
This group is a stark contrast to most liberals, because liberals love to protest. It creates an image that they are getting the point across, which people buy into because the media report the protests.
In liberal Lawrence it's easy to believe that Bush's defeat is imminent, but the Silent Majority is back at it again. Bush's defeat is possible, but not likely.
But it leaves one wondering why no one ever hears about the whoppers that Democratic presidents have told. It's probably due to the "Silent" part in Silent Majority. Nevertheless, those fibs are out there, and they're about to be told.
Let's begin with Harry Truman because there's not enough solid evidence to say whether Franklin Roosevelt knew Japan was going to scorch Pearl Harbor. Truman told the nation a few phenomenal falsehoods concerning the atomic bomb.
Upon discovering the payoff from the Manhattan Project, he had this to say in
STEVE VOCKRODT
svockrodt@kansan.com
So then he drops the bomb on Hiroshima, a city with virtually no military or strategic value, but all the dead women and children he could dream of.
As for John F. Kennedy, an elementary U.S. history class would indicate his transparent lies concerning Cuba and the Bay of Pigs. Said Kennedy, "I have previously stated and I repeat now that the United States intends no military intervention in Cuba."
But we know he was the ringleader of a botched attempt at getting Fidel Castro's own untrained people to turn on him.
Oh, and didn't the Democrats say something recently about Bush supposedly stealing the 2000 election in Florida, despite the absence of direct evidence?
It's been well documented, with direct evidence, that JKF, or more like
ly his campaign personnel committed election fraud in his 1960 victory over Nixon. Mafia leader Sam Giancana helped swing the vote in Illinois, a major battleground in what previously was the closest election ever.
"If it wasn't for me, [Kennedy] wouldn't even be in the White House," Giancana said in Richard Mahoney's Sons and Brothers.
The apple didn't fall far from the tree with his vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson. He made up an attack by the Viet Cong at the Gulf of Tonkin to justify a resolution that allowed him unprecedented executive control over the military.
So then recently, Bill Clinton lied about whether the genocide in Rwanda was actually genocide. This spared him having to actually do something about it, and then 800,000 people perished.
It's strange how quickly the Democrats are to forget — or deny — the lies its representatives in the White House told. To listen to many of them is to be told they run nothing but clean politics, and the only truth is is that neither side has, does or ever will.
Now we can see Kerry isn't as honest as most would like him to be concerning his military service. It shouldn't come as a surprise, but to the Democrats it clearly has. It's interesting to see how quickly he dropped the "I'm reporting for duty" posturing.
Maybe that's because the Silent Majority is finally sounding off about it.
Vockrodt is a Denver senior in journalism and political science.
Anti-Kerry chalking steeped in hypocrisy,ill-conceived logic
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Regarding the political discourse that I have seen on the campus sidewalks recently, I have just a couple of observations. One of the statements trumpets "Support Communism - Vote Kerry."
Dear editors.
As long as we are identifying America's political parties with debunked ideologies, I think a far more apt comparison would read, "Support Fascism - Vote Bush." After all, which party exhibits blind nationalism and the tendency to label all who do not agree with their policies as un-patriotic and un-American?
Another statement I saw said that Kerry would say "anything to be elected." Last time I checked, Kerry and Bush are both politicians, and most rational people would agree that politicians will say anything to be elected. But then again, no one ever accused Republicans of being rational.
THU
And finally, and definitely most disgusting and disingenuous, was the assertion that "al-Qaeda supports Kerry." Not only does this back up my
earlier "neo-fascism" assertion, but it lacks sense.
Andrew Duncan Wichita junior
Why wouldn't al-Qaeda instead support the man who has taken the focus off of them — the same man who has not only failed to capture bin Laden, but has also let bin Laden's name slip from his vocabulary? Just a couple of observations.
Chalking dishonorably uses memory of American deaths
I say this to the person(s) who wrote, "Al-Qaeda says Vote for John Kerry."
I do not care what side you stand on in this political race. What you choose to believe about the presidential incumbent and the candidate is based on your personal perspective. That is fine. That is democracy.
However, do not dare desecrate the memory of our fallen citizens and soldiers by using their deaths in a political mud-slinging act. Soldiers take an
Dear editors.
oath to defend this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They do not have the luxury of choosing Democrat or Republican. They are willing to kill or be killed for this country and ask only one thing in return; honor their service and their sacrifice.
Perhaps this chalker(s) need to review what honor truly means.
So congratulations are in order. You have just steeled your opponents to work harder to remove the presidential cancer that has infected the nation for the last four years and shown the independent voters what your true message is: Hate, division and deceitfulness is the American way! Well done.

Garner said it was possible to be unsupportive of the war but still support the troops. Nuss said he was doing just that.
He said 200 people had signed up to read names, and that about 300 had done so since they opened the reading to anyone who wanted to read.
Steven Mak, Overland Park
sophomore, stopped to look at the display yesterday afternoon on his way to class in Strong.
"It's a bit on the shocking side to see how many lives were lost," he said. "There's really no words to say. I hope God will take care of their families."
Garner said it was therapeutic to tell a crowd of people about her friend, and she wanted people to keep in touch with any friends or family members overseas.
She said her experience led her to contact another childhood friend currently serving in Iraq, and she has kept in close contact with him.
Garner was not the only speaker to relay personal stories yesterday. Nuss said there had been speakers who talked about
a friend who had a heart attack in Iraq, and then his mother died "from grief." Nuss said.
Another speaker talked about the loss of "the guy next door I had a crush on but never told."
Bridley Maidhof, Mission freshman and one of the organizers of the event, talked about the first thing that went through her mind when she got up to the microphone and began reading names.
"It sounds really petty, but I was so scared to misprounce their names. You just want to make sure it sounds the best," she said.
"If I got up there and mispronounced their names, it wouldn't be them."

There are too many random acts of violence, Ricky said, but it's his daughter's duty.
"The first thing I told her on the phone was 'this is what you signed up for. All of your hard work boils down to this,'" Ricky said. "You are fulfilling your contract."
Rickesha remembers basic training well, and the structure is intimidating.
"I feel that everyone should be respected, regardless of rank," she said. "It may not be something that the military shares, but I try to instill it."
Leaving her life
Rickesha dropped her classes last week. The National Guard will reimburse her for rent, books and any educational costs.
Her sister, Anniesha, a junior at the University, is devastated.
On Monday, Anniesha attended a Black Student Union meeting and asked if anyone could help pack.
"I'll help her move in and I'll help her move out," Anniesha said. "Yesterday I started crying. It really hit home."
Teresa, her sister who attends Kansas State University, doesn't like it one bit.
Rickesha's main concern is the 540 days that will be taken out of her life. She is 25 now and hopes that she will have the same energy about school a year and a half later.
"It's one thing to know somebody who goes," Teresa said. "It's another thing to have your sister go."
The adjustment to a life in Iraq will be aided by the fact that there will be other Americans there, Rickesha said. The military has already tried to set up a home-away-from-home atmosphere. But some things she will just never adjust to.
Rickesha will have to get rid of her long, painted and jeweled fingernails and wear a hair net and "cook whites" most of the time. At least the cook whites are comfortable and like wearing scrubs, she said.
Keeping her faith
War is on the mind of the Scotts — and also their congregation.
Friends from the Scotts' church have recently returned from Iraq, and they gave Scott some advice about what and what not to bring. Rickesha now knows that the water is terrible and to bring lots of moisturizer because the air is so dry. They also reassured her of her return.
"They told me that God is a keeper, if he brought us back he'll bring you back too," Rickesha said.
Sheila also relies on God's grace.
"I know God will protect her, and that's what makes it tolerable." Sheila said.
Even though Rickesha said she won't be on the frontline, she was still scared of death.
"Every time I turn the TV on, someone is dying," she said. "I hope that is not going to happen to me."

KU-MU 'War' no more; rivalry now 'Showdown'
BY MIRANDA LENNING

MLENNING STAFF WRITER
The rivalry between Kansas and Missouri athletics is not likely to change, but this week, the rivalry's name did.
the IVY's name.
The Missouri-Kansas athletic competition, formerly called the Border War, was re-named the Border Showdown, athletics directors Lew Perkins, of Kansas, and Mike Alden, of Missouri, announced this week.
Officials from both universities said the word "war" was inappropriate.
"We feel that in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, and the ensuing events around the world, it is inappropriate to use the term 'war' to describe intercollegiate athletic events." Perkins said.
University of Missouri officials said that when they named the competition in 2002 there wasn't a concern that it could be inappropriate.
"At the time we signed the agreement, we really didn't think about it," said Mario Moccia, senior associate athletics director at Missouri.
However, when Perkins came to the University in July 2003, he wanted to change the name to something that would reflect the universities' sensitivity to world events. Perkins was the driving force behind the idea to alter the name, but Missouri agreed with the idea, Moccia said.
The Border Showdown is a head-to-head athletic competition between the two schools. A point system assigns a certain number of points to each com-
pettition. The school that wins the event receives those points.
The Showdown also has rules that take ties, in an event or in a final tournament, into account.
Additional points are awarded to the team based on its placing in Big 12 or NCAA Tournament events; however, post-season bonus points count only if the two teams play each other.
Whichever school earns the most points wins the Showdown. Points range from a half point to three, depending on the competition. Three points are awarded to the winner of each game or match between the two teams in the following: soccer, men's and women's golf, tennis, women's track and field, and football. But most other events are worth one or one-and-a-half points.
The four basketball majors — both the men's and women's teams play once at home and once in Columbia — are valued at one-and-a-half points each. If the two basketball teams meet head-to-head in the Big 12 Tournament, an additional half point is given to the winning school.
The school officials want people to understand that there are more important things than an athletic rivalry, Alden said.
"Our rivalry with Kansas is a very important thing to many people," Alden said. "But it certainly pales in comparison with what is taking place overseas, and this is the right thing to do."
The four basketball matchups
The Midwest Ford Dealers have sponsored the competition since it began in 2002 and extended that sponsorship through the end of the 2007 athletic season.
The decision to change the name was made between both athletic departments and the Midwest Ford Dealers, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. He said that they discussed it for a couple of months before any decisions were made.
Moccia said that Midwest Ford Dealers were cooperative in changing the name.
"I give them credit because they had a financial stake in this thing," he said. "They had to make promotional materials, create new logos for their radio and TV commercials; this was a huge expense for them, both materially and in a public relations aspect."
Kansas and Missouri have been competing in sports for more than a hundred years. The history of the rivalry traces back to a conflict between Missouri and Kansas in the 1860s. Missouri, a slave state, and Kansas, a free state, met in a series of bloody battles on the line line.
In 1863, William Quantrill's army of Confederates sacked Lawrence, burning most of the town to the ground.
Regardless of all of the history reflected by the title "Border War," officials wanted to ensure that there weren't any ties to armed conflict.
"The Missouri-Kansas rivalry is one of the best and most spirted in the nation, and while both schools and their fans share a passion for beating each other, making an adjustment to the name of the sponsorship is quite appropriate," Alden said.

Soccer shines in Big 12
With third place conference standing, visions of titles dance in their heads

After losing to Nebraska for its Big 12 Conference opener, the Kansas soccer team has bounced back with three straight victories and is in position to make a run at its first conference title.
"You look at the conference right now, and there are a lot of teams in the running, and we're one of them," said coach Mark Francis. "We just have to make sure we show up every day. With the competition we play against, you can lose a game if you let down even a little bit. We've just got to keep being consistent."
It won't be hard for Kansas to maintain that consistency if junior forward Caroline Smith continues the level of play she displayed last weekend. Smith earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors with eight points and three goals in games against Baylor and Texas Tech.
Kansas hasn't started conference play with a 3-1 record since 2001, and the team is currently third in the Big 12 standings behind Texas A&M, 5-0, and Nebraska, 3-0.
www.kansan.com
"Caroline is getting back into her groove a little bit," Francis said. "This year she has a lot of assists and she's helping other people score. She's
also burying the chances she gets to score."
Smith's award is the fourth weekly Big 12 honor for Kansas. If the team expects to earn more accolades, and gain ground on Texas A&M and Nebraska, it will need to continue its stellar play on five upcoming game road trips.
Kansas will be challenged from the start, with the first game in the road trip against rival Missouri. The matchup will be the first game in this year's newly re-named Border Showdown series.
Nicole Cauzillo, sophomore midfielder, battles Maddy Minnis, Colorado sophomore midfielder, and Laura Munnelly, Colorado sophomore defender, for a loose ball. The Jayhawks defeated the Buffaloes 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Plus, the Jayhawks will be facing an angry opponent — the Jayhawks ended the Tiger's season in Columbia, Mo., last year in the NCAA tournament.
"Momentum is not going to mean a darn thing when we go to Missouri," said senior goalie Meghan Miller. "I mean they're Missouri, and that's all I can say without getting in trouble."
After Friday's 7 p.m. contest with Missouri, Kansas will have a week off before traveling to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. The team will then finish its string of road games the following weekend at Texas A&M and Texas.
The soccer team realizes the magnitude of the game and expects to get all it can handle from the Tigers.

The Kansas volleyball team played its first five-game match of the season last night, but the outcome wasn't what it wanted.
Kansas State defeated Kansas 30-19,
23-30, 30-25, 22-30, 15-12.
"The volleyball gods went their way tonight," said senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels.
Game one looked menacingly familiar, coach Ray Bechard said, as the Wildcats outhit the Jayhawks .500 to 194. Kansas had hit just .078 in the previous three matches.
But in game two, the Jayhawks hit .289. Michaels had five kills in each of the first two sets.
the first two sets. The Jayhawks trailed 20-21 in the second game but reeled off rallies of four and five points to seal the game. Junior setter Andi Rozum led the charge on the game-winning rally with her reintroduced jump serve, which she had not used since the beginning of the season.
"She's getting more comfortable," Bechard said. "I think it's a great weapon."
Rozum's serves kept the Wildcats off balance as she scored two aces in the match. Sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa added two aces for the night.
Correia audited the scene. In the third set, the Jayhawks had more kills than their feline counterparts, but 10 attack errors put them at a dangerous 2-1 disadvantage.

"We had some players run some different patterns to keep that defense off balance." Bechard said.
Game four was an offensive fireworks show, as each team hit better than 350.
The teams began the set by trading kills. The usually reserved Correa jumped into Lima's arms after her third kill of the match gave Kansas a 5-4 advantage.

But two kills by Wildcat outside hitter Agata Rezende forced Bechard to take a time out. An attack error by Lima made the deficit three points.

Bechard said in recent matches, the team had failed to pass the ball to Michaels often enough. Last night, there was no such problem as she led the team in kills with a career-high 24 and attempts with 45.

Track star has losses on mind
Editor's note: Athletes at the University of Kansas are more than just victories and statistics — they are real people with opinions on sports, life and love. Each Thursday, Kansan sportwriter Shane Kucera sits with a student-athlete and discusses issues beyond the playing field.
Some athletes, like women's track member Brooklyn Hann, dwell on the losses and forget about the victories. That's unfortunate for Hann because she's arguably one of the best triple jumpers in Kansas' history: The 2002 Big 12 Championship, the USA Juniors triple jump and the Pre-World Meet triple jump are all titles under her belt, but those don't stick out in her mind. Instead, what she remembers is losing the Big 12 Championship in 2003.
Q. Do you get special treatment because you're a student athlete?
The Dig 12 Jackals Hann is the Jayhawks' record holder for the triple jump (42' 11") The record holder gives us an idea of what she's like off the track:
Q: Which triple jump victory was most important for you?
A: 1 don't know, it depends on the sports you do. We get to enroll early, but that's because our schedules are already made. Because of practice you have to have a time set out, but other than that not really.
Oh yeah! I won the USA Junior Championships, I forgot about that. That was pretty big just because I got to go to Jamaica.
A: (Big 12) Conference my freshman year. It has just kind of sucked because I haven't won again since. This year I'll be able to at least fight for it. The losses stay in my memory more than the wins.
Q: Is your 21st birthday next month?
A: Yeah, but I don't drink or anything, so hey, it's just another day. But it's exciting to be able to do more stuff I guess.
C: What's your reason for not drinking?

KU-KSU tickets less for students
Students looking to attend the Kansas versus Kansas State football game on Saturday don't have to pay a fortune for a ticket. Students who bring their KUID to the ticket office in Allen Fieldhouse can purchase a ticket for $10.
Students can also purchase additional tickets for $45. The normal price for game tickets is $65, which is the most expensive ticket price for a home game in Kansas football history, but students and faculty can purchase tickets at the reduced price for people coming to the game.
"If students have family members or friends coming into town for the game, they can buy tickets for them for $20 off," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
Athletics Department officials said the tickets would be located as close to the student section as possible.
As of yesterday, Kansas officials said they had sold about 40,000 tickets for Saturday's game. They said that about 10,000 tickets remained. Marchiony said he expected a lot of people will come out for the game.
"Ticket sales have been steady, so we are expecting a good crowd," he said.

Flinging at Fraser
Former teammates match up
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — For six seasons, defensive end Grant Wistrom and offensive tackle Orlando Pace squared off hundreds of times on the practice field as St. Louis Rams teammates.
Their matchup will be for real now that Wistrom is a member of the Seattle Seahawks (3-0), who host the Rams (2-2) Sunday.

For now, both players are passing on any trash talk. "I'm not that stupid." Wistrom said, while Pace simply said of their practice-field skirmishes, "we made each other better."

Wistrom signed a $14 million bonus with Seattle that the Rams simply couldn't match.
"That's the sad thing about free agency and the salary cap." Wistrom said. "Whenever you have a good football team people are going to come and raid it."
But Wistrom, known for his high-energy style of play, was the emotional leader of the St. Louis defense.
He's been named to five straight Pro Bowls.
and it.
Pace and Wistrom were key building blocks that turned the Rams from a 1990s bottom-feeder into a powerhouse.
His loss was the biggest offseason defection for the Rams.
"That's the key with Grant — he's a big effort guy," Pace said. "You can't let up on him at all."
Wistrom, a Missouri native who played at Nebraska, was the Rams' first choice a year later.
Pace was the first overall pick of the 1997 draft out of Ohio State, and immediately became one of the league's dominant tackles.
The Rams, 4-12 in Wistrom's rookie season, won the Super Bowl following the 1999 season.
Now, Wistrom is part of a vastly improved Seattle defense that ranks No. 1 in the NFL.
No. 1 in the N.F.L.
"In our division at this point they really are the team to beat." Rams coach Martz said. "They're playing well in all phases."

Earnhardt yearns for more
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is about to turn 30, and despite occasional indiscretions like being penalized for cursing on TV, he longs to be the go-to guy in NASCAR.
with my dad to be up in that trailer every weekend," he said. "All the drivers have said that was something they really liked about dad was that he could go up in there and get something done for the drivers.
Already the sport's biggest star despite his lack of a championship, Junior is adored by millions of fans, is wealthy beyond the dreams of most and has shown he inherited a considerable amount of talent from his late father.
In five years in NASCAR's top stock car series, Junior has won 14 times and has finally become a legitimate title contender; going into Kansas Speedway this week he is second in points with only seven races remaining.
But he wants more — and not just on the racetrack.
"I'm kind of like the guy who has some old valuable baseball card in his collection that he's looked at for years and doesn't know it," Earnhardt said.
The elder Earnhardt, a seven-time champion and the biggest star of his generation, died in a crash during the 2001 Daytona 500. At the time of his death, he was the biggest name and the most powerful influence in NASCAR, often visiting the NASCAR hauler to let the sport's officials know his opinion of every crisis or proposed change.
"Everybody is always telling me about my position in the sport and how far I reach. I can't grasp it. I don't know if I walk into a room who is listening and who isn't," he said.
"I'd love to be that guy. Who wouldn't? Hopefully, I can just get smarter and every time I talk I'll know what I'm talking about and everybody will think it was awesome and they'll do it."
More important, the NASCAR officials more often than not listened to Junior's father. That's what the younger Earnhardt wants.
"I know it was pretty commonplace
It may be a while, though.
It may be a whirlwind.
Little E's remarks came a day before he raced away with his latest win at Talladega Superspeedway, then let his mouth race away with him in Victory Lane, uttering a vulgarity during a postrace TV interview on NBC Sports.
The curse brought a $10,000 fine from NASCAR and, far more important, the loss of 25 points, turning a 13-point lead over Kurt Busch into a 12-point deficit.

He doesn't have a car to get him around town or his mom's cooking waiting for him at dinner, and he certainly wouldn't mind lounging in his old bed instead of having to lie around in the one at his apartment.
LOS ANGELES — Like any freshman going to college 2,000 miles away from home, University of Southern California linebacker Keith Rivers doesn't have access to the all the amenities he grew up with the past couple years in Florida.
The transition has been a smooth one so far for Rivers, who recorded two key sacks in the Trojans' victory over Stanford two weeks ago and continues to play a bigger role on the defense as each game passes.
But you can bet Rivers is thankful this week to have a stable roof over his head.
The one resting atop his family's home in Lake Mary, Fla., was ravaged when Hurricane Jeanne rolled through the area in September. Rivers said no family members or close friends were injured when the natural disaster struck — a relief for him as he continues to entrench himself into life in Los Angeles.

"I'm not that worried about how it's going at home; everything's OK," he said. "We're just going to have to get a new roof and some other things fixed up."
In the meantime, friends and family from home can take comfort in knowing Rivers will be a crucial part of the Trojans' plans this week as they prepare for their Pacific-10 Conference showdown with California. Southern California coach Pete Carroll said Rivers made the most of the repetitions in practice he gained last week while starting outside linebacker Matt Grootegte sat out to rest a minor injury.

Rivers has not made his first college football start, but each week he is making it tougher on Trojan coaches to keep him off the field.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3G
For the women's basketball team and first-year coach Bonnie Henrickson, the media spotlight will shine even brighter during the 2004-2005 season.
Yesterday, the KU Athletics Department announced a basketball television package that will make the lajhawks one of the most televised women's basketball programs in the country.
According to the plan, 18 of Kansas' games will be televised, including four nationally. The four national telecasts will consist of home games against Nebraska and Kansas State and road games against Kansas State
and Texas. Fox Sports Net will carry the Nebraska game and the Kansas State road game. College Sports Television (CSTV) will broadcast the other two national games.
"We're excited that our fans will be able to follow us so closely throughout the season," Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks will also see greater radio coverage in Kansas City.
Radio stations KMBZ-AM 980 and XKTR-AM 1660 will work together to broadcast all of the Kansas women's basketball games live, Athletics Department officials and ESPN Plus announced. This marks the first time all games will be aired live in Kansas City.
"We're very excited that our Entercom radio affiliate in Kansas City is strengthening its partnership with KU athletics," Lew Perkins, athletics director, said. "And we are particularly pleased that the women's basketball program will get the coverage in Kansas City we know it deserves."
The full schedule of women's basketball games will also be broadcast on Ja Hawkw Radio Network affiliate stations in Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita.
Jayhawk Radio Network will also air a weekly call-in show with Henrickson. The network already hosts similar shows for football coach Mark Mangino, men's basketball coach Bill Self and Perkins.
Angela Haar, general manager of ESPN Plus at the University, which operates the Jayhawk Radio Network, said she was pleased to be able to extend and expand the coverage of KU sports in Kansas City.
The Jayhawks posted a 9-19 record (2-14 in the Big 12) in 2003-2004, and Kansas has not reached the postseason since the 1999-2000 season.
Henrickson will spend the 2004-2005 season as the Kansas coach after leaving Virginia Tech, where she compiled a 158-62 record during seven seasons. The Hokies recorded at least 20 wins in each of her seasons and made seven postseason appearances.

Freshman tennis standout propels, encourages team

There are athletes who attest to giving their all on the playing field or on the court. But there are also athletes who are willing to go further.
Meet Kansas freshman tennis player Lauren Hommel.
A native of Roswell, Ga., Hommell understands the role hard work and team effort play in athletic success.
"It takes a lot of dedication, working out, giving it the extra effort and being supportive of my teammates," Hommell said.
"As a team, we want to make it to the Big 12 Championships," she said. "We want to beat Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. We want to kill them."
That burning desire to win is something Hommell used effectively back home in Georgia as a three-time all-county selection player and member of the prestigious Super Six All-Region team.
Hommell came to the Kansas tennis team with the goal to help it return to the national prominence of 1996, when Kansas reached round 16 in the NCAA championships.
Hommell, who is one of three freshmen on the team, already possesses the instinctive drive to be a champion.
Hommell said she could see the way the coaches were impacting her game. She said Polito's presence was a constant
Kansas coach Amy Hall-Holt, who served as an assistant in 1996 with Frank Polito, teams up with Polito once again with the same aspiration. Hall-Holt said Hommell could prove to play an instrumental role in helping the program get better.
"I feel, as a freshman, Lauren has been taking big steps to better her game as well as to better her teammates." Hall-Holt said.
"He is pretty much on you the whole time, trying to pump us up." Hommell said of Polito. "He gives great advice and has helped my game tremendously the last couple of weeks."
motivating force.
In the first tournament of the year at Tulsa, Okla., Hommell played to perfection, sweeping the singles competition and dropping only one set.
Throughout her prep career, Hommeli participated in many junior tournaments affiliated with the USTA, but she said collegiate tennis was more comfortable for her.
"It's more relaxed than juniors," she said. "It's team-oriented, and you get to have a coach on the court."
Emily Haylock, who competed from 2001 through 2004, and is a senior at the University, has played an intricate part in Hommell's development.
Overall, Hommell acknowledged the difficult competition Kansas faces, but she thought persistent effort would help to propel Kansas back into the national spotlight.
"Emily is taking me under her wing." Hommell said. "She's giving me a lot of advice on how to take things and how to embrace coaching."
Hommell made the transition from high school to college quite well. Former Kansas player
"It's all about giving 200 percent on the court." Hommell said.
The Jayhawks will be in action next weekend when Kansas travels to South Bend, Ind., for the Notre Dame Invitational.

Big 12 South shows North how to play ball
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — The Big 12 North has gone south.
If there were any questions about the conference's balance of power the last couple of years, this season clearly shows it has shifted.
Nebraska and Kansas State were the class of the Big 12 when it formed in 1996 with the merger of the Big Eight and old Southwest Conference.
Though K-State is the defending champion after upsetting Oklahoma in the conference championship game last season, the Sooners and Longhorns are rightfully regarded as the standard-bearers for the league.
This is the fourth-straight week that the North Division hasn't been represented in The Associated Press Top 25. Before this season, it had been since November 1967 that not one team from the current North was ranked.
Oklahoma and Texas, meanwhile, are Nos. 2 and 5, respectively, and Oklahoma State is No. 22.
The South is 3-0 against the North in early conference play. That follows an embarrassing nonconference portion of the season that saw five of the six North teams lose to teams from mid-major conferences.
Most notable: Missouri losing 24-14 at Troy, Kansas State losing 45-21 at home to Fresno State and Nebraska's losing 21-17 at home to Southern Mississippi.
"Everything goes in cycles, conferences and even divisions," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "I have no idea why it is the way it is. It's just the way it has happened. Obviously it's exciting for everybody in our division because of the opportunities that are there."
To be sure, the North is not being surrendered to Nebraska or Kansas State, which have combined to represent the division in six of the eight confer-
"I know why I'm here.I can see that as I work
through our day-to-day routines. I can honestly see that we have a long ways to go in terms of wehre we want to be."
Bill Callahan
Nebraska coach
ence championship games.
The North coaches say each team will improve and that one could emerge as a legitimate threat to whichever team comes out of the South.
"I know there are a lot of good coaches and players in the North, and don't count any teams out from being a very big factor in the national picture," Iowa State's Dan McCarney said.
Why has the North floundered? The reasons are varied.
Division favorite Kansas State (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) is breaking in a new quarterback in Dylan Meier, leaving little room for star tailback Darren Sproles. Also, the Wildcats defense has been uncharacteristically leaky — they are 11th in the league in points allowed at 30 a game, 14 more than a year ago.
The Wildcats hit a key stretch this week. After visiting Kansas, Kansas State is at home against Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas Tech.
At Nebraska (3-1, 1-0), first-year coach Bill Callahan is trying to rebuild a program that Frank Solich had let slide. When Nebraska athletic director Steve Pederson fired Solich last November, he said he would not allow the program to "gravitate into mediocrity."
Closer-than-expected victories against Pittsburgh and Kansas indicate that maybe the program has reached that point.
"I know why I'm here. I can see that as I work through our day-to-day routines," Callahan said. "I can honestly see that we have a long ways to go in terms of where we want to be."
The Huskers have struggled in the transition from the triple option to the West Coast offense, with Joe Dailey having thrown one interception for every 11 pass attempts.
Saturday's game at Texas Tech could be an indicator of which direction the Huskers will go.
Missouri (3-1, 1-0) was perhaps the most hyped team in the division entering the season. The Tigers have an improving defense, and Brad Smith is one of the top run-pass quarterbacks in the nation.
But the loss to Troy shook the Tigers' confidence, which has been made fragile through two decades of mostly losing.
Colorado (3-1, 0-1), fresh off a sex and recruiting scandal in the spring, was the surprise of the North after rattling off three nonconference wins.
But the Buffaloes lost 17-9 to Missouri last week and will be underdogs at home to Oklahoma State.
Kansas (2-3, 0-2), which went to a bowl last year, already is in a must-win situation against Kansas State at home this week.
Iowa State (2-2, 0-1) was winless in the conference last season and could be heading down that road again.
The Big 12 coaches say it's too early to write off the North.
After all, Kansas State lost three games in a row last season and ended up winning the conference championship.
Colorado coach Gary Barnett, for one, dismisses talk of the North slipping.
"On Dec. 4, somebody from the North is going to be playing in Kansas City against somebody from the South," he said. "National perception isn't going to help you or hurt you getting to that position."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 6.
A review of your current position will help you make sure you're still on the right trick. As you know, things can get quite confusing in the heat of battle.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Practice makes perfect, and you prefer the latter to the former. You want to already know what you're doing. You don't like the awkward learning phase, which is why you study so hard to get through it. Be patient with yourself and others.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
Once you have your plan figured out, you'll be ready to get back to work. Don't rush this part; it's important. You don't want to head off in the wrong direction.

'Healthy fast food
by Andrew Vaupel, Jayplay writer
Follow a few simple steps, watch what you eat and you'll avoid a super-sized waist.
College students eat fast food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even between meals. Fast food is only a part of America's obesity issue, but college students must become aware of the problem. The Centers for Disease Control reported in 2003 that the prevalence of obesity among adults ages 20 through 74 nearly doubled from 15 percent in 1976 through 1980 to 28 percent in 1999 to 2000. Despite our best intentions to eat a healthy diet, cravings and the demands of school, work and time send us in search of the quick fast food fix. No one can stop you from eating fast food, so here are some tips for when you have your next burger-and-fries craving.
Don't eat it all at once
A regular-size burger provides two servings of grain, 3 ounces of protein and 260 calories, which is just right for a single meal. But if you switch from a regular burger to a Big Mac value meal with large fries and a large Coca-Cola, your calorie total soars to 1400 calories — almost a day's worth of calories for the average college student. Either take home leftovers
much more you may end up super-sizing your waist and your value meal.
Fried chicken tenders are not healthy
Fried chicken tenders are not healthy Even though chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches and chicken tenders seem to be a healthy alternative, they aren't if they've been dunked in a hot-oil fryer. When fried foods are dunked in a vat of oil they soak up even more calories. For example, the five-piece McDonald's Chicken Selects breast strips have 630 calories, 33 grams of fat and 46 grams of carbohydrates. A Big Mac has a similar 580 calories, 30 grams of fat and 46 grams of carbohydrates.
So watch how much fried food you eat. Even fish sandwiches are rarely healthy, because they are usually fried. Items that are baked, broiled, roasted or grilled are better choices. But ask for the sauces on the side so you control how many extra calories, fat and carbohydrates you eat.
for another meal or buy smaller portions. Even though the larger sizes don't cost a big drink. Skip the sodas and save tons of calories. "Avoid any with added sugar or high-fructose syrup because we don't need the additional calories and the some evidence that they in fact cause us to gain weight," says Grieger, RD, CDE 2003 Vermont outgoing dietitian.
A super-sized 42-cup pop or fruit drink would you back 410 calorie would

Drink better
Even if you choose healthy main dishes you can destroy your hard work by ordering a big drink. Skip the sodas and you'll save tons of calories. "Avoid anything with added sugar or high-fructose corn
A super-sized 42-ounce pop or fruit drink will set you back 410 calories. It would be
more, but you get a lot of ice. "Smoothies are great if you make them yourself, but most of the commercial ones are loaded with sugar," says Grieger, Healthy Eating Expert for iVillage.com, a national women's Web site, and a registered dietitian in private practice in southwestern Vermont.
Make your own decisions
Look at your options and for places where your food is made to order so you can control the amounts. Consider ordering large salads, but don't spoil them with high-fat dressings. Roast beef, turkey and chicken sandwiches are often better than a burger.
"View your restaurant dining as a convenience. You are paying not to have to shop, cook and clean up," recommends Go Ask Alicei, Columbia University's Health O&A Internet Service, at www.goaskalice.columbia.edu. Take the time to make good decisions about what you eat and where. Don't let the closeness to home, school or work dictate where you eat. "Convenience is playing a larger role — pun intended — because many of us no longer cook, we reheat; we eat out more often; we buy pre-cooked foods at the grocery store." Grieger says.
Ask for nutrition information or visit fast-food Web sites to know what you are eating. To make the comparison simple, check the next page's three popular options at six different restaurants by grams of fat, grams of protein, grams of carbohydrates and calories

V veggie Tales Vegetable Identifier, Lorenz Books, 128 pages
It trips to the grocery store aren't producing enough produce, you might think about picking up Christine Ingram's encyclopedia Vegetable Identifier. The book covers more than 160 varieties of veggies, with hundreds of color photographs for easy matching when scrolling the aisles.
Ingram offers tips to keep from losing vitamins and minerals while cooking, such as avoiding cutting veggies too finely because their nutrients will be more susceptible to seeping into the cooking oil. She even provides a history of each vegetable (apparently the Greeks went gaga for asparagus) and consumer advice (avoid pre-wrapped bundles of broccoli), which tend to deteriorate more quickly than loose bundles). Published in London, the book has a couple of jarring colloquialisms. In the section on the history of onions, Ingram suggests using an "outhouse" for storage. (Ewww, I thought, until I looked it up and found out this is another word for shed.) You need to start somewhere, people. Experts agree we should be getting a high proportion of vegetables in our everyday diets.

If you have any relatives or friends in the area, ask to crash with them. Feinberg also recommends camping outside your car. Make sure you're in a legal area to avoid fines.

cost is between $10 and$ 35 a night per person. Andy Miller, Swansea, Ill., senior, and two friends took a different approach on a nine day, 4,416-mile trip across the northern United States and Canada. They took turns sleeping and driving, so not only did they never have to pay for lodging, but they made better time. They brushed their teeth at rest areas and showered at truck stops. Miller says it usually costs about $7 to rent a shower, but it is well worth it if you're all going to be in the car together. One of Miller's friends had an aunt in Denver, and the other had relatives in Saskatchewan, Canada, so they spent a night and ate a couple of meals at each place, and helped out with odd jobs.

Fast food is a no-brainer for a bargain bite, but grocery stores can be even less expensive, Feinberg says. Many have delis and salad bars, but even if they don't, you can buy sandwich makings. Look online for discounts and coupons at both fast-food restaurants and grocery stores.

Miller passed through several national parks, such as Yellowstone in Montana, and drove through Canadian forests. Speeding tickets won't make for a cheap trip, and neither will DUI's, so don't be stupid. Driving slower on highways instead of taking interstates makes for better gas mileage and scenery.

After eyeing your friend's favorite book, necklace, car—you name it—the unthinkable has happened: you've borrowed and lost it. Worse yet, when your friend has asked about the loaned item, you've come up with excuses, but now you know you've got to come clean. This isn't going to be a pretty situation, but here are some things to keep in mind as you approach your friend: Be honest about what happened. If you were negligent, admit it. Clearly an apology is in order. If your friend is angry, give him or her time to cool off. And if there's any way you can replace the lost item, do it.

Dialing while drunk
Misadventures with the cell phone
By Brian Wacker, Jayplaywriter
It's 1:45 in the morning. Kelly Richey, Lee's Summit, Mo. junior pulls out her cell phone and stares at it intently. Staggering to keep balanced, thoughts swirling through her mind, she ponders as to which one of her friends will be the lucky winner of a phone call from her. No, this isn't just any old phone call.
This is a drunk-dial
This is a drunk clair "Whenever I am trashed on my way home from the bar, so i just start calling people," Richey says, without even a hint of embarrassment.
Richey's tale is a very common one for college-aged students: Going out at night, drinking to the point of no return and then calling everyone in your cell phone's address book. Drunk students are binging on the phenomenon known as drunk-dial. And don't even pretend you didn't know that.

because you know you won't have to worry about it in the morning," Probably the most awkward of the drunk-dials is the "I haven't talked to you in so long!" call. It's pretty self-explanatory. Matt Dezort, Edwardsville, ill., senior
Students seem to drunk-dial for a variety of reasons. Most common are for booty-calls, the last-ditch attempts to score some action on a given night. Booty-calls are usually made to explorers or current friends-with-benefits. No one likes to talk about booty-calls after the fact, but most students say that they are most common form of the drunk-dial. Heffinger says that the lack of shame a person feels while intoxicated makes booty-calls conducive to drunk-dialing. "When you are at that point of drunkenness, you are willing to say or do just about anything
claims to be quite a fan of this one. "It's usually to all of my buddies from high school. When I look at my phone book and see their names, I'm like 'This guy has to be awake at four in the morning.'" So why do we feel compelled to call our friends to give them the running tally on how many whiskey sours we slammed in the last four hours? Catherine Crisp, assistant professor of social welfare, has studied substance abuse. Though she had never heard of drunk-dialing, saying that the trend was probably the property of this college generation. While someone must have called someone while they were drunk before our generation, the recent explosion of drunk-dials belongs to us. Crisp thinks that the behavior can be traced to common theories on inhibition. "People engage in behaviors differently when they are drunk than when they are sober because there is a perceived absence of social barriers and social norms."
Translation: When you're drunk, there are no rules. You don't have to worry about
sounding like a jerk if you can't remember it the next day. Drunk-dialing really got its wings with the introduction of cell phones. Getting in touch with people used to be a whole lot harder. Before cell phones, students never had such instantaneous access to communicating with so many people. Not so anymore. Now you don't even have to be able to pee straight to call your ex-girlfriend at 2:30 a.m.
"You literally have a phone with a phone book listing
the numbers of all your friends just sitting in your pocket waiting to be dialed," Richey says.
Crisp says that may be one of the reasons drunk dialing has gotten so big. The combination of convenience and accessibility of the cell phone makes it almost too easy to get in touch with anyone at any time. Crisp also notes that in the college environment, there seems to be

a lack of set times when it is not OK to call each other. "Back when I was that age, if there was a call after 10 p.m., someone was either dead or in the hospital." Crisp says.
The simplest explanation is that people drunk-dial each other simply because they want someone to talk and listen to. According to Crisp, although alcohol is technically a depressant, it can have a converse effect on some people, acting as a social agent.
Richey says that the drunk-dial is much more of a way for her to express herself, although intoxicated, to her friends. "You tend to love people so much when you are drunk. So when you can't always see them and give them a hug, you call them," she says.
No matter what the motivations behind it, drunk-dialing is not going away anytime soon. Students are still going to drink and they will still want to talk to each other. Plus, they generally don't feel about the calls they make while drunk.
Heffinger says, "I have no regrets about calling people drunk. It's usually pretty funny and gives you something to talk about the next time you see them."

The early origins of this cocktail date back hundreds of years, when it was an Arabic drink called "ulab." It was a refreshing mixture of water and rose petals that people believed would be their way of

The y changed the name of the drink to the mint julep and it gained popularity throughout Europe.
It wasn't until the julep came to America that it involved any liquor at all (go figure). Settlers in the early 1700s spiked it with whatever alcohol they had available and used it as a pick-me-up.
drink in the morning. Today, the official liquor of the mint julep is bourbon. The drink is especially popular in the South, where it became the official drink of the Kentucky Derby in 1938. Southerners are protective of their mint juleps and the process by which they're made. In fact, a guy in the bourbon business named Irvin S. Cobb said that the Civil War actually started by "some Yankees coming down south and putting nutmeg in a julep." Yeah, they're not kidding around. There is a debate among bartenders about the "right" way to make a julep, so there's the recipe that the experts in the South use;
Mint Julop
Fresh mint

2 tsp. water

Place several fresh mint sprigs, 1 tsp. of sugar and 2 tsp. of water in a bowl and crush together with a spoon.

Add more ice, more strained mixture and another layer of ice. Pour bourbon on top of glass and garnish with mint sprigs.

TEARS FOR FEARS GENTLY INFORM ME that everybody wants to rule the world as I walk through the doors of the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. About 75 people are already in the bar a place traditionally

quiet, relaxing because they know things will get crazy later. The door guys, Alex and Matt, politely greet me as I walk in. I decide to hang out by the front for awhile and chat with them before it gets too busy. Both have been working Neon since last December when it moved to the Bottleneck after La Tasca, now the Jackpot Saloon, closed its doors. Matt says he sees all types come to the '80s dance party known as Neon — hipsters, preppies, skaters, punks, sorority girls, goths — all mostly college students. Alex says he sees a lot of the same faces, but every week a different crowd will show up. He says more minors have been coming since new school year began. "A lot of the female minors will dress up in full '80s costume," Alex says.
"Excuse me, $3 please!" Alex suddenly yells at a younger guy trying to sneak in. I ask them what their most memorable moment working at Neon has been. Alex says when a girl flashed him her breasts in order to get in for free. Matt ponders the question for about five minutes, then quietly says "I see a lot of intimacy. We pick up a lot of condoms, and thankfully most of them are new"
10:45 p.m.

I enter a completely different Bottleneck than what I'm used to. It's almost as if the venue starred in the TV show Extreme Makeover. Fluorescent lights dimly light up the dance floor, where a few people are already dancing to Edie Brickell's "What I
Am." Surrounded by his buddies, one guy waves a joystick in the air as he celebrates beating a level on Pac-Man, the classic video game shown on a movie screen sitting on what used to be a stage.
Stringed gold lights and black lights barely light up the tables where about 30 people are chatting over cheap alcoholic beverages."Watch out for the Miller High Life draws," Nick St. Peter, Andover senior, says."They may be cheap but if you drink too many of them you'll be tasting them tomorrow."
them tomorrow.
While about half the people in the bar, including myself, is wearing the normal night-life attire, as I walk around I see a girl wearing a skeleton T-shirt, one guy with 3-D glasses and another sporting a Goonies tee. Almost every female is wearing a skirt or dress and knee-high socks.
11:04 p.m.
I meet up with Edwin Morales, who is known as Konsept when he DJs here. He takes me up to meet Cruz, the other regular DJ at Neon, who is now playing George Michael. I then meet Alison Olewnick, who, along with Morales, started Neon, as well as Project Groove, a hip-hop oriented dance party at the Bottleneck on Fridays. Earlier that day Morales tells me that Neon is not your typical retro night. In addition to plenty of classic and underground '80s tunes, Konsept and Cruz will play anything from new hip hop to dance rock from
bands like the Rapture. Morales loves the Neon crowd. "We're like a big family," he says. Morales says one night a drunk girl got mad when he didn't have a Britney Spears song and poured her drink on his records. The crowd immediately stood up for Morales, taunting the girl and eventually forcing her to leave.
11:32 p.m.
Sweaty dancers now pack the dance floor like teenage girls at a Good Charlotte
concert. I meet up with friends and sit down. Karl Geiger, Washington, D.C. senior, tells me he has only one complaint about Neon; every time he requests "Come On Eileen" they say they don't have it. Konsept plays "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by the Police, and a casually-dressed man with rimmed-glasses raises his fist and shouts "This song rocks! I'm an old man!" Nicholas Cage is now on stage. On the movie screen, of course, in the 1983 film Valley Girl.

More than 200 people danced through the night last Thursday at Neon.
After sitting around an hour, I decide to walk around and mingle. Jessica Turner, Lawrence resident, has been coming to Neon since its creation. She tells me one of her most enjoyable moments was crowd surfing. Patrick Casteel, Prairie Village graduate student, tells me Neon is the best party to dance at in Lawrence, and the only place where you can go crazy. Nikki Perry, St. Louis senior, regularly comes to Neon for the great
atmosphere. "Everyone actually dances here- they don't just grind," Perry says. Soon the dance floor calls my name. I attempt to do some dancing on my own, and because I'm sober this isn't an easy feat. I meet up with Geiger, who jumps up and down when "Come on Eileen" bounces out the speakers. I tell him he has nothing to complain about now.

people are now dancing everywhere in the Bottle-neck- even back by the pool tables. "Eight-six-seven-five-three-Onieinel!" everyone sings in unison. A little later Morales interrupts New Order to make an announcement. "I'd like to wish my girlfriend, Alison, a happy 25th birthday!" Olewnick hides from view as the entire congregation cheers.
1:33 a.m.
I'm in the bathroom when everything goes dark. Making my way out into the confused crowd, I watch as Morales attempts to quiet everyone. He says some people
were causing trouble and security had to kick them out, but after they left they somehow disconnected the power. Morales thanks the crowd for coming but asks them to leave. The audience moans and groans, but heads toward the exits in an orderly and respectful manner. I'm one of the last out the door, and as I exit, I notice everyone is still hanging out outside.

Happily hairless
Cultural beauty standards encourage permanent body hair removal
By Nate Karlin,special to Jayplay
When Nicky Mitchell raised her arms in the locker room to take off her shirt and put on her basketball jersey, the other girls jokingly reminded her that she forgot to shave her armpits. The Lydon senior tried to laugh it off by joking back, but those embarrassing reminders and comments would continue until her 19th birthday.Although she shaved every morning, Mitchell's hair quickly grew back. By the time she put on her jersey for an early-evening game, her teammates thought that she'd forgotten to shave.
Mitchell's mom, Laura Rillamas,
decided to pay for laser hair removal as a
19th birthday gift to her daughter. Rillamas, along with Mitchell's aunt and grandmother, have also undergone laser hair removal.
For some people, shaving and waxing no longer cuts it within a culture that increasingly stresses the unattractiveness of body hair. Although permanent methods of hair removal are more expensive than conventional methods of shaving and waxing, and men are turning to electrolysis and laser hair removal.
"Today, hair is just not in," says Dr. Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist in Lawrence who performs laser hair removal. "That's just one of those things
that is no cool to have necessarily a hairy chest when you go to the beach or for women, hair legs."
Naomi Schulman,
Sugar Land, Texas sophomore, who started shaving her legs in the fifth grade, feels pressured to maintain the cultural standards of beauty. "As a woman," she says, "you get the impression that guys think it's unattractive." Schulman says shaving every day is a pain, but she continues to do it because of comfort and today's cultural influences. "I don't feel comfortable walking around like a mammoth," she says. One of these cultural influences; her boyfriend. Schulman says he wouldn't like it if she didn't shave.
"TODAY, HAIR IS JUST NOT IN. THAT'S ONE JUST OF those THINGS that IS NOT COOL TO HAVE NECESSARLY A HAIRY CHEST WHEN YOU GO TO THE BEACH OR FOR WOOM, HAIRLEGS." —Dr. Lee Bitterneider, a Dermatologist, at the Hairstyle Hair Removal Center.
Some men also feel the pressure of today's beauty cultural standards. Ryan Scarrow, Humboldt senior, says one recent trend — girls shaving their chest hair – went too far, but he does acknowledge that magazines and advertisements lean toward a softer concept of masculinity. "It's like a competition," Scarrow says. "When you are around other people, get dates with girls, you play by to these ever-changing rules." People have to go along with these beauty trends, he says, even if they don't like them.
Kathy Mears, a certified professional electrologist, says cultural standards make more beauty requirements for women than men. Mears, in the '80s had electrolysis done on her face, says woman with noticeable facial hair need to do something to get it temporarily removed to meet societal criteria.
These cultural pressures have also taken their toll on Tanya Johnson, Dallas sophomore. A dancer age three, Johnson is annoyed with having to shave her armpits every day because of sleeveless dress uniforms. But she continues to do it because she knows the American culture deems hairy armpits on women as unacceptable. "I don't want to be the one that people stare at. I don't want to be 'the Meredith Brooks,'" she says, referring to the pop-singer who has the natural look for her armpits.
If students of both sexes are concerned with their body hair, electrolysis and laser hair removal are the two most common methods used to permanently treat unwanted body hair.
Electrolysis has existed since 1875 when Dr. Charles E. Michel, a St. Louis ophthalmologist, used it to destroy ingrown eyelashes, according to the American Electrology Association Web site.
Tiny needles, big rewards
Electrolysis destroys the follicle, which is the actual living tissue of the hair. Tweezing and waxing only pull hair out; they do not destroy the follicle, which will continue to make new hair if it remains alive.
The hair must be in its growth stage for
electrolysis to produce its best, long-lasting results. Hair goes through three stages: growing, resting and shedding. An example of the shedding stage occurs when a hairbrush pulls hairs from a person's head without having to tug at the scalp. The
growth stage occurs when the hair follicle actively grows. This stage can last anywhere between three weeks to eight years, depending on the area of the body. For example, scalp hair will continue to grow up to eight years, while upper lip hair on a woman may grow for only three weeks.
Mears, who has performed electrolysis in a basement office in her Lawrence house for 16 years, slides a hair-fine needle alongside the hair into the hair shaft. Then a one-thousandth of a second-long discharge of electricity zaps and destroys the cells in the follicle area.
Mears says bleeding from electrolysis rarely occurs because the hair shaft acts as a natural opening in the skin so the patients aren't poked or stabbed with the needle. After the electricity discharges, Mears pulls out the dead hairs with tweezers. "If it's been treated thoroughly, the hair should slide out with all the anatomy intact," she says.
Electrolysis produces only mild side effects. Redness occurs right away, but could last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the skin's sensitivity. Wetting, which lasts only for a few min utes, also occurs immediately, along with CONTINUE NEXT NEXT

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE could last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the skin's sensitivity. Welting, which lasts only for a few minutes, also occurs immediately, along with swelling. Mears says contrary to claims from people who perform different techniques to remove hair, electrolysis seldom leaves scarring. She says people need to inform her about their sensitivity so she can adjust the settings accordingly. She says electrolysis doesn't scar the body if the electrologist performs the procedure correctly.
Mears charges by time rather than number of hairs destroyed. She says she requires every patient to attend a consultation visit to discuss price, procedure and skin sensitivity.
Although she charges $60 per hour, not every area does not take that long to dehair. For example, she only allows 20 minutes to remove hair on the upper lip or eyebrows. Even if the area requires moretime to complete, she says too much heat in that small of an area can damage the skin. She charges $26 for a 20-minute treatment to make up for effort and equipment used for such a short amount of time.
But, electrolysis

is not a one-time procedure. Not every hair grows during the same growth cycle, so each patient should expect several sessions of electrolysis before all of the hair follicles are destroyed. Mears recommends waiting four to six weeks between sessions.
Laser hair removal works by destroying the hair follicles under the laser's two-centimeter tip. When destroying the follicle, the hair growing from it is also destroyed.
A hand is wrapped tightly around a body part, possibly for protection or support. The hand appears to be made of a flexible material, and the wrapping is secured with bands or tape. The background is dark and blurry, focusing attention on the hand and its wrapping.
People with unnaturally tanned skin can't undergo laser hair removal, either. The hairs' melanin attracts the laser, but unnaturally tan skin will overpower the laser's attraction. This attraction could lead to hyper-hypo pigmentation, which causes the skin's natural pigmentation to disappear.
And with this laser...
Laser hair removal works by melanin pigment absorbing a wavelength of light. This procedure works only on pigmented hair, or people with brown or black hair. The ideal candidate for this procedure would be someone who has dark hair and
The LightSheer Diode Laser System uses a nine by nine millimeter jewel lens attached to the tip of its gun. This jewel lens, or ChillTip, which is the most important part of the laser, protects the skin from overheating. The dermatologist pushes the ChillTip along the area while the laser emits a second-long wavelength of light
that destroys each follicle.
Laser hair removal produces almost the same side effects as electrolysis, such as temporary redness and swelling. However, Amanda Challacombe, skin care specialist, advises her patients not to have contact with the sun for long periods of time. So for the next four to eight weeks after treat-
ment, patients should not lie around the pool hoping to catch some rays. Just like artificially tanned skin, Challacombe says too much sun could also lead to hyperhyp pigmentation in the skin. But if patients want to go out in the sun, she advises them to stay out for only short periods of time with the use of sun block S.P.F. 30 or 45.
Unlike laser hair removal, Mears requires her patients to stay out of the sun for three days after electrolysis treatment. But better yet, she recommends to her patients who want to enjoy the summer sun, but who also want to remove unattractive body hair, to undergo the sessions during the fall and winter months.
Laser hair removal for an entire leg starts around $600. The cost may be higher than electrolysis, but the procedure also takes less time.
The biggest difference between electrolysis and laser hair removal is the cost. Unlike electrolysis, laser hair removal patients have to pay for time and also help pay for a $70,000 laser machine, Bittenbender says. Twenty minutes of laser removal on the upper lip costs$ 60 compared to Mears' $26 electrolysis procedure. The cost of a full leg would start at$ 600 and a full back for men starts at $275. The trade-off for price is it takes less time for laser hair removal. The back and legs can take two to three hours, Challacombe says, but that is a short amount of time compared to electrolysis.
X
Similar to electrolysis, laser hair removal also requires several sessions in between growth cycles in order to remove every hair follicle. Challacombe recommends waiting four to eight weeks between sessions.
Students who attend several sessions of hair removal most likely will notice hair growth in that same area several years or even several weeks later, depending on the activeness of their hormones. And although students are about 25 to 30 percent of Mears' patients, both she and Bittenbender warn them, as well as other young adults, that permanent hair removal may never truly be permanent - a misleading name, indeed. Hormones force new hair to grow in the place where electrolysis or laser removal destroyed
the old hair follicles.
"It's important that people understand that this won't prevent you from growing new hair," Bittenbender says. "You just grew the hair you normally would've grown." He says, for example, a 20-year-old man wanted to remove his newly grown back hair, which some form of permanent hair removal had taken care of. But, five years later, his back hair was back. Once again, he had to redo the several sessions required to "permanently" remove that new, unwanted hair.
Mitchell's dermatologists in Topeka, where she underwent the laser procedure, warned her about the possibility of hair regrowth; she wanted to do the several sessions anyway. Since her five treatments, she has seen some hair growth. But, shaving twice per week, rather than every day, brings a sense of triumph to her former 5 o'clock shadow humiliation.

Better Than Crack
By Samia Khan, Jayplay writer
Political junkies will never run out of their drug
College students don't have to binge on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes anymore. They can binge on politics. It's the easiest drug to find. Politics are on the cover of every magazine from Rolling Stone to Ladies Home Journal. Students are even beating each other up at weekend parties because of it. Politics keeps Blake Swenson up at
night. The Topeka senior, Kansan columnist and self-proclaimed political junkie says he often has trouble falling asleep because he is thinking about all the issues at stake in next month's election. Political addiction can resemble other addictions — junkies can be consumed by politics, and it's a habit that's hard to kick. But political junkies are an important part of the system, especially in election years. They help bring attention to politics and issues. It's hard not to notice the track marks on a junkie.
Swenson's first vivid political memory was watching the 1992 election results coming in while he studied for a fourth grade spelling test. But his first hit didn't get him high. For years, he didn't care about politics. "I think I might have voted for Ross Perot in our school election because he had big ears or something," Swenson says. Sports were Swenson's gateway drug early in school. His obsession with sports isn't surprising since it involves much of the same competition and strategy as politics. He was also surrounded by a political family that gave him access to his political drug. His father worked for Kansas Governor John Carlin in the early 1980s. Swenson slowly became more absorbed by politics when he decided to pursue it his senior year in high school. The idea of campaigning, strategy and meeting people appeals to Swenson. It is part of the reason he says he ran for University of Kansas student body president last year.
Addiction: It's in the eye of the beholder
freedoms facts
fessor of political science, a true political junkie is more like an extreme fan. These obsessive spectators are usually not active in the process, he says, but devour information instead. They are like the fans with pictures of Cher—or Cheney—all over their walls. They are the fans, who think by watching they make a difference to the
Addiction to politics may not be akin to heroin addiction, but merely a deep passion for politics. In an article called What is Addiction: A Perspective for the Harvard Medical School Division on Addiction, Howard J. Shaffer says defining addiction is complicated. Some substances involve physical dependence and some involve addictive behavior patterns." Addiction represents an intemperate relationship with an activity that has adverse biological, social, or psychological consequences for the person engaging in these behaviors," Shaffer says. Addiction includes behavior ranging from craving to compulsion, in spite of adverse consequences and a loss of control. The average political junkie usually isn't out of control or clinically addicted, but like any obsession, politics can consume your life. Ask Swenson, who works eight to nine hours per day, six to seven days per week as the Johnson County Director for the Kansas Coordinated Campaign of the Kansas Democratic Party. For Paul E. Johnson, proare still too touchy," Lowe says. "People get too worked up over it. There are better things to be doing in life."

team. Johnson cites a case study of a woman in Connecticut who kept two running televisions in every room of her house at all times, just so she could get a constant stream of C-SPAN and CNN. The political fanatics who most people think of are actually involved in politics. "The issue public" is a political science term Johnson uses to describe the avid participants. These fanatics are rabidly interested in one or more issues, like saving the manatee. Johnson says these citizens are a vital part of the process. Their watchful eye helps monitor the behavior of politicians. The active junkies, like Swenson, enjoy being around people with like opinions and they want to make a difference. Secretly Kelsey Lowe admires political junkies, wishing she could find an issue to be so passionate about. But the Bloomington, Ind., junior and registered independent doesn't like to discuss politics, especially in social situations. "I grew up in a family where we didn't talk about sex, politics and religion. Not talking about sex went out the window, but politics and religion

In a July 2004 artiare signs to this epidemic too. in a July 2004 article for Crain's New York Business magazine, Matthew Flamm reports that sales in the political category at the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain have grown by nearly 25 percent every year since 2000 and sales this year show no signs of slowing.

They must lead the candidate to victory. The game melds the addictive nature of competitive sports, computer gaming and politics into one designer drug.
gaming and politics
Swenson doesn't bank on feeding his political addiction for a lifetime. "I'm not gonna lie, I'll probably burn out somewhere down the road and move on to other things," he says. But this is coming from a guy who thinks about politics in the grocery store, while watching movies and when he's toasting John Kerry with a friend at the bar.
It sounds a lot like an addict who says, "Psssshhh! I can quit whenever I want!" Swenson thinks about it and admits he might be naive in thinking he will change, but quitting politics some day is what he ultimately foresees. Well, that's what every junkie says.

In Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie, Hunter S. Thompson says, "Politics is like the Guinea Worm. It sneaks into your body and grows like a cyst from within — until finally it gets so big and strong that it bursts straight through the skin, a horrible red worm with a head like a tiny cobra, snapping around in the
air as it struggles to breathe."

Q
[Lust is the best deadly sin.]
I cheated on my boyfriend a while back. Since then we've gotten back together, but I'm feeling tinges of jealousy when it comes to him and other girls. Do I have any right to jealousy?
a
Jessi: I tend to believe jealousy is a useless emotion, though I think we all encounter it at some point. We feel jealous when we feel entitled to someone or something. In that regard, we really don't have the right. Instill a sense of trust in him, and more than likely, he won't let you down if he knows the ball's in his court (and his pants.) Also, your insecurities might also be some leftover guilt from when you screwed around. Get over what you did, and focus in on what he didn't.
Chris: Ah sweetie, so you mean you're a little worried the person you're in a committed relationship with is going to mess around with someone else? How devastating! You should be jealous. Oh wait, you mean you cheated on him first? Slut.
Q
My long-time partner is pressuring me to move in with him. I care about him very much, but I'm not sure if I'm ready. What should I tell him?
-Kalen, Junior
a
Chris: Moving in with a loved one is a pretty serious act. I've never considered doing that and I don't know what I'd do in your situation. But I think a good open conversation on the issue is your best bet. Tell him it's too soon, his apartment sucks, whatever, but don't move in unless you're ready, because packing sucks.
Jessi: That you're not ready to live with him yet.

When John Kerry spoke these words before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, he was a handsome 27-year-old veteran of America's War in Vietnam.

A memo written by Charles Colson, special counsel to the president, advised Nixon to "destroy the young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader." The director wastes no time in drawing allusions to this year's presidential race, positioning Kerry as the fiery upstart to a war-mongering Republican administration that has forgotten (or openly rebelled against) the lessons of Vietnam.

Lest We Forget: The Best Of ..
Marilyn Manson
It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment that Marilyn Manson had the title of "white-trash hell raiser" wrenched from his sickly white fingers by the next great white hype, Eminem. The most visible moment of his passing was in the video for Eminem's "The Way I Am," which was released in the wake of Columbine, which should have been Manson's defining moment. Instead his ghoulish visage was relegated to window dressing among several jump cuts in the clip, in which Marshall Mathers railed on social critics who tried to "blame it on Marilyn." While on the surface it was a shout-out to all the white metalheads who had dismissed Em as another nigger-loving Vanilla ice, it also reduced Manson to a permanent role as a visual reference to demonic rock. From that
moment on, the image of Manson's crucifix laden, stigmata stained carcass was all anyone needed to see to simultaneously recall and reject the man's entire career.
And what a career it was. Looking back on the five albums and assorted EP's, it's startling to realize just how important the devilish antics of one Brian Warner were to the pop landscape. Billed as a comprehensive collection of Manson's memorable singles and overlooked B-Sides, "Lest We Forget: The Best Of" gets the general idea right even if it fudges a couple of early details.
The seventeen track affair demonstrates Manson's growth from cartoonish freak to Bowie-esque conceptual artist and then back to cartoonish freak, if not in that order. "The Beautiful People," "Disposable Teens" and "mOBSCENE" all couple crunching guitars with genuine hooks while lesser known standouts "Tourniquet," and "The Nobodies" dispatch the spooky.
spoorky.
Of the various cover songs included, the epochal "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" shines along with the Sneaker Pimps collaboration "Long Hard Road
out of Hell." The inclusion or rarities like "Personal Jesus" simply illustrate how Manson has made a pretty sizable living out of bullying irony like it stole his lunch money. His drab take on "Tainted Love," however, is just plain terrifying.
What's missing are the cuts that created buzz for the band before it hit big with "Smells Like Children." Even without "Cake and Sodomy," the consistency of what did make the album is surprising evidence of the band's stranglehold on all things heavy throughout the Clinton administration.
The fact that most anybody who would care to listen to these songs probably already has them on their hard drive is beside the point.
If Marilyn Manson frightens you beyond belief you better shelter your soul from Nine Inch Nail's "The Fragile," but everybody should listen to Manson's "Mechanical Animals." That album was just plain awesome.

Burnout 3: Takedown
When I picked this game up for review, I wasn't expecting too much. The first Burnoutgame was really terrible so I shied away from the second Burnout. My worries were put to rest, however, as soon as I turned the game on. There are so many different modes of play that you'll rarely find yourself bored even after hours of playing.
Much of the game consists of racing opponents while trying to make them crash into stuff or simply trying to rack up as much monetary damage as possible. All of this is done to unlock different areas of the map (there are three areas: USA, East Asia, and the Far East) and to acquire new vehicles. And though there are no "real" cars in the game, there are quite a few, ranging from coupes, buses, and even ultra-fast circuit racers.
In the first Burnout, the cars handled incredibly sluggishly, making it really hard to enjoy the game. Burnout 3 has definitely fixed that problem as cars control
nicely and fairly realistically. And the crashes are a pretty sight with glass breaking, debris flying all over the place, and cars gracefully flipping through the air. In the bigger crash arenas, cars from every direction will crash into the oncoming traffic causing massive car pile-ups.
Basically, this game is the best arcade racing, car crashing game I have played, and I really don't want to take it back to the rental store. It combines addictive gameplay with awesome crashes and furious racing. This game is not, however, a racing sim by any means. Anybody looking for that would probably be disappointed with the lack of licensed vehicles and arcade like physics, and your best bet is to wait until Gran Turismo 4 comes out. Those who love wanton chaos and destruction should definitely give Burnout 3: Takedown a shot.
Star Wars: Battlefront
Grade:B
Nick Finnegan
Who would have guessed that Storm troopers had it so bad? Sure, you see them in the movies shooting lasers, falling down and getting flung in the air, but there were hundreds more to take their place. The latest in the Star Wars gaming series has you fighting on land, sea and air. Star Wars: Battlefront is an intense war game.
Battlefrontputs you in the action of each Star Wars battle worth mentioning and a few that aren't. You have a different class of soldiers that you can pick from and each with their own kind of weapons and specialties on the battlefield. They work as medics on the field by having the ability to drop health on the battlefield. There are also soldier classes that work well against crowds. For instance, some droids are equipped with radiation cannons that are very useful for taking out organic life forms and vice-versa, some Humanoid soldiers have EMP-equipped cannons capable of taking out droids in a single shot. Each class has strengths & weaknesses and it's up to the players to pick which class of soldier they want to be.
I remember before I played this game, a friend told me that this isn't like Dynasty Warriors where you are a one-man wrecking crew and can kill more than 400 people in a battle. The objective is to ensure the victory of your army. There are multiple ways to win a battle. One of them is to capture all the command posts in a battlefield and maintain them. Command posts are re-spawning areas for your troops. If the enemies have no more command posts, they can't get any more soldiers to fight and victory is yours.
Star Wars: Battlefront lets you take part in the greatest Star Wars battles of all time from both sides, you can ravage the universe as the Galactic Empire, defy them as the Rebels, take part in the Clone Wars as a Clone Trooper or as the Separatist from the prequels.

By the time I was 12, I was used to the invariable bastardization of my last name. Like sands through the hour-glass, so were the days of my life filled with ridicule. I'm really not sure why this instance sticks out so vividly in my head. (Perhaps it was the added bonus of having Coach write "WACK-OFF" in bold, underlined letters on the dry-erase board he was using.) In any event, this was the point when I knew I'd had enough.
On the way home, instead of reflecting on my whole 11 minutes of total playtime, all I could think about was my last name. I cried like a Cubs fan. My parents tried to console me, but I got the feeling they didn't want to talk about the meat-smacking connotation of our last name with their 12-year-old.
I knew what masturbation was. I did it as often as any normal 12-year-old. Probably more. But I wasn't nearly at the point to where I knew how commonplace it was. I thought I had to be ashamed of my "Brian time."
Later that night, my hardly-keen and seldom-perceptive older brother, Bob, came into my room and told me he had heard about what happened at the game. He told me the horror stories of what he had been putting up with now that he was in high school. "Believe me," he said, "It does not get any easier any time soon." I had never believed someone so much in my life.
The key was, according to him, to not only accept that this was how things were going to be, but to embrace it. Was he serious? I am supposed to embrace being called Wack-job?
Then Bob said something to me that I will never forget.
"At least you're not Uncle Rich."
Like a Texan doing his multiplication tables, it took a few second for things to click. And then it was there. Dick Wacker! There is no way...But Rich is so cool...What the hell were Grandma and
Grandpath thinking?
Bob was right. How could I ever possibly
complain about being Brian Wacker. My own uncle, whom I had grown up idolizing, had it far worse than I could ever imagine. His name, when translated loosely to teenager slang, meant "Penis Masturbator."
I went to school the next week with a renewed sense of self-worth. Long gone was plain old Brian Wacker. There to stay was the self-appointed Wack-Daddy, the King of Wack. Who would have thought the most teased kid in school could
also be the most popular? My mastery of self-deprecation won me friends and acclaim.
I spent hours researching different variations of my last name. Wack-job. Wack-off. Patti-Wacker. Wack-A-Smack. Big Wack. I figured out every name that I could not give to my kids. Richard (Dick). Charles (Chuck). Patrick (Patty). Jimmy. Peter. Wang.
I didn't just gain popularity — confidence, charisma and self-assurance soon followed. I began high school, not knowing a single soul in the entire 275-person class. I left as one of the most popular guys in school, coat-tailing my last name 'til the very end. Not bad for the slow, fat kid who did theater and sang second tenor in the chorus. Did I mention that I went to a guys-only high school, where every single student only appreciated the connotation that my last name brought that much more? You can imagine how much everyone appreciated my last name.
Going to college has been no different.
Even the guys in my fraternity, all of whom I used to hold in high regard, can't get through an entire chapter meeting without taking a shot or two at my surname. I play along, beating everyone to the punchlines.
Of course, it doesn't bother me. I'm not the one going to hell.
But the first day of classes is always fun when my name gets called out in roll, shocking 25 complete strangers. Like clockwork, the professor always gives a double-take before he reads my name. Brian ... Wacker?? I grin, raise my hand and then listen for the whispers and chuckles. It always brings me back to that basketball game and all I've learned since then. I love my last name and wouldn't have it any other way.
Come to think of it, I've only had one real regret when it comes to my last name. Hell, let's fix that.
Kiss my ass, Coach.

One of Yankees' big investments pays off in October
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - The New York Yankees waited all season for that huge hit from Alex Rodriguez.
Boy, did he deliver just in time.
Rodriguez hit a tying double in the 12th inning, then Derek Jeter dashed home on Hidekid Matsui's sacrifice fly and the Yankees bailed out Mariano Rivera with another improbable postseason comeback, beating Minnesota 7-6 last night to even their series at a game aniece.
The Yankees responded with a championship-caliber rally after falling behind in the 12th on Torii Hunter's home run.
Corey Koskie keyed an eighth-inning rally with a tying double against Rivera, who blew a save in the postseason for only the third time in 33 chances.
Game 3 in the best-of-five AL series will be Friday night at the Metrodome, with Kevin Brown starting for the Yankees against Carlos Silva.
Jeter, Rodriguez and Gary
Sheffield homered earlier in this game, and it went to extra innings tied at 5. It stayed that way until Hunter connected on the 49th pitch from reliever Tanyon Sturtze, who had worked 2 2-3 hitless innings to that point.
But Joe Nathan was running out of gas, too. The Twins closer had made 43 straight appearances without going more than one inning, but manager Ron Gardenhire sent him out for a season-high third inning in hopes of finishing it.
After a strike, Nathan walked Miguel Cairo and Jeter on eight straight pitches with one out in the 12th, bringing up Rodriguez, who struggled in clutch situations for most of his first season with the Yankees.
He's changing all that in October. A-Rod hit a groundrule double to left-center on Nathan's 49th pitch, tying the score at 6 with his fourth hit of the game. It gave him three RBIs in the game, and made him 6-for-10 in the series.
Shefield was intentionally
walked before J.C. Romero replaced Nathan.
With the outfield drawn-in, Matsui hit a liner directly at right fielder Jacque Jones that appeared to be too shallow to score letter from third.
But Jeter took off for the plate, and Jones' throw didn't have much on it. First baseman Matthew LeCroy, who entered as a pinch-hitter in the 10th, relayed the ball to the plate, but Jeter slid in safely.
Paul Quantrill got one out in the 12th for the win, retiring rookie Jason Kubel with two on.
Jeter led off with a long ball, and Sheffield and Rodriguez hit their first postseason homers in pinstripes to help the Yankees build a 5-3 lead after seven innings.
With two All-Stars in Tom Gordon and Rivera at the back of the bullpen, that was supposed to be the Yankees' foolproof formula for playoff success. But they couldn't put this one away.
The Twins tied it at 5 in the eighth, rallying against Gordon
and Rivera. Jones reached on a wild pitch after striking out, and Hunter singled.
That was as long as manager Joe Torre could wait to go to Rivera, who had been 12-for-12 in postseason save chances at Yankee Stadium. But he gave up a bloop RBI single to Justin Morneau, cutting it to 5-4 and leaving runners at the corners.
Koskie then came through with an outstanding at-bat, fighting his way back from an 0-2 count. Choking way up on the handle just like Diamondbacks slugger Luis Gonzalez did against Rivera in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, Koskie sliced a 3-2 pitch into the left-field corner for a double, tying the score at 5.
Koskie's ball bounced into the stands, perhaps costing the Twins the go-ahead run. Pinchrunner Luis Rivas was running on the pitch.
Rivera recovered to strike out Kubel and retire Cristian Guzman on a comebacker, stranding the potential go-ahead run at third.
One night after getting shut out by Johan Santana and two relievers, the Yankees hit three homers off Brad Radke — one each from the top three batters in the lineup.
Rodriguez added an RBI single in the seventh to make it 5-3, snapping New York's 0-for-19 postseason skid with runners in scoring position since Jeter's seventh-inning RBI single in Game 5 of the 2003 World Series.
Jon Lieber pitched 6 2-3 solid innings in his first career post-season start. He left with a 4-3 lead and jogged off the mound to a standing ovation.
After Morneau's two-out RBI double in the first, Jeter hit Radke's third pitch into the empty black section beyond the center-field fence for his 14th career postseason home run.
That ended another punchless string for the Yankees — they had been shut out in consecutive postseason games for the first time in franchise history, dating to Josh Beckett's gem in Game 6 of the 2003 World Series for Florida.
Jeter popped out of the dugout for a curtain call, but the feisty Twins went right back ahead.
Koski drew a rare walk from Lieber leading off the second and scored on Michael Cuddyer's single. Henry Blanco poked a shallow sacrifice fly down the right-field line, making it 3-1.
Rodriguez singled in the third before Sheffield's fifth career postseason homer, bringing chants of "M-V-PI. M-V-PI!" from the sellout crowd of 56,354.
Rodriguez connected in the fifth, giving the Yankees a 4-3 lead.
Lieber walked only 18 batters in 27 starts this season. He and Radke ranked 1-2 in the AL in walks per nine innings.
The first five innings took only 1 hour. 14 minutes.
Jeter became the third player to homer into the center-field black at Yankee Stadium in the postseason, joining Reggie Jackson in the 1977 World Series and Seattle's Jay Buhner in the 2001 ALCS.
LOSSES: Brother's death, mother's cancer puts life in perspective
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
A: I just never started and I figure if I don't start I won't get addicted. You know, I figured I won't miss what I don't know. I've never drank alcohol. I've never drank alcohol.
Q: Would you ever be in the Women of KU Calendar?
A: No. Well, I don't know, it depends. I wouldn't say no. I don't know. Maybe, maybe I would if there were more athletes. If there were other athletes, I'd do it then.
Q: How different is Lawrence from Sacramento?
A: For me it's not much different because I don't really do anything, but it's much smaller. Sometimes it gets a little boring, but not much other than that.
Q: Which place would you rather
live after college?
A: Sacramento, just because it doesn't snow.
Q: Have there been any major obstacles in your life?
A: Yeah, well, my mother had cancer when I was in 10th grade and my brother died when I was in 11th grade — he got shot. Those were probably the toughest things in my life.
Q: Do those events in your life motivate you to do better in track or focus more on school?
A: Before those things happened I was pretty much the same. The only thing different was that it made me think 'wow, you can lose somebody' — stuff like that.
Q: So how important is family to you?
A: It's really important because my family is really
close, and that's basically all you have in the end, you know.
Q: Are you going to vote in the upcoming election?
A: Yea, I registered today. I'm going to vote back home, so I's registered in Sacramento. I'm going to vote for Kerry. I don't know why.
Q: What do you think of Bush?
A. I don't know. I'm kind of scared of him because of all the war stuff, so I figure I'd rather vote for Kerry and hopefully the world will get better.
Q: What do you think about the war in Iraq?
At *Like* I said, it's just kind of scary. I'm not going to say it's useless. I just think it's sad because all those people die and I'm not really for sure why. They say weapons of mass destruction and they don't seem to have
those, and all kind of junk like that.
Q: Besides track, what accomplishment are you most proud of?
A: I guess being almost done with college and actually going to college, which track helped me come here.
Q: Are you superstitious about running?
A: I’m not superstitious, but there are some things you can’t do, or you have to do. Like before I run I have to straighten my hair. I don’t know why.
Q: Do guys ever challenge you to races?
A: Yeah, I race with the guys on the team all the time. They beat me usually, but I win every once in a while.

Different religious beliefs alter voting
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
While some voters will focus on economics or foreign policy in this year's election,some will make their choices based on religious beliefs. Students of different religions say faith plays a role in their political decisions.
Burdett Loomis, professor and chairman of political science, said religion was important in the political arena.
"The overlap of the conservative branch of the Republican party and the evangelical Christian movement has been very important," he said.
He said the two presidential candidates dealt with their faiths in different ways.
"George Bush is pretty public about his faith, while John Kerry is pretty religious and doesn't really talk about it." he said.
Loomis said Jewish people historically had been most influential in politics because of their monetary donations, while Muslims had little impact historically because they had not donated as much money.
Melissa Horen, Overland Park sophomore and president of the student board at KU Hillel, said her Jewish faith played heavily in her political decisions.
The United States' support of Israel
"From a Christian perspective it's more about voting on values than voting on issues like the economy."
Lee Bickerstaff Emporia senior
Emporia senior
is the most important issue to Horen, who is also a political science major
"My faith plays a big role in politics," she said. "A lot of Judaism is about community service and giving back to the community."
Although she based a lot of her decisions on community service, she considered the United States' support of Israel most important.
She said she would vote for Bush because she thinks he will offer more support to Israel.
Lee Bickerstaff, Emporia senior, is involved with the Campus Crusade for Christ, and he said he thought more people in the Christian faith weighed the morals and characters of political candidates.
"I'm not going to vote for someone who goes against the morals of what I believe," he said.
Those morals included being antiabortion and against gay marriage, he said.
"From a Christian perspective," he
said, "it's more about voting on values than voting on issues like the economy."
He said faith was more important in his decision than things like the economy or foreign policy.
Elaf Saifan, Overland Park senior,
said her Islamic faith also played a large role in her voting decisions.
Two major issues for her were the rights of Palestine in the Middle Eastern conflict, and the belief that marriage was between a man and a woman.
She said it was important for Muslims to be politically active, especially considering today's political climate, where Muslims could be racially profiled.
"A lot of support goes to Israel and not Palestine," she said.
it promised.
"It's not as bad in the United States" she said, referencing France, which has recently outlawed women from wearing head scarves in school.
Loomis said Bush had been open about his Methodist Christianity. Bush didn't attend church often, but chooses instead to focus on his personal relationship with God, Loomis said.
Kerry, on the other hand, attends Catholic masses frequently. Loomis said, but does not focus on his religion on the campaign trail as much as Bush does.

Registration increases in county
BY BROOKB Budke
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAK
Penrod estimated an additional
With the Oct. 18 registration deadline approaching in Douglas County, voter registration is running almost one-fourth ahead of the last general election.
Voter registration from July 2000 to July 2004 dramatically increased by 23 percent, Marni Penrod, deputy clerk of elections for Douglas County, said.
In July 2000,45,771 people were registered to vote. With three weeks before the registration deadline,60,935 people are registered.
10,000 to 15,000 voter registrations before the deadline.
This year's presidential election has captured youth interest nationwide, which could be contributing to the increased registration turnout, said Burdett Loomis, professor and chairman of political science.
The Douglas County population has increased by approximately 3,000 people since the 2000 election.
According to U.S. Census Bureau the Douglas County population was 99,962 in 2000 and increased to 102.983 in 2003.
Penrod attributes the 23-percent jump to population growth within the county.
Registered voters under the age of 25 totaled 21 percent of the registered voters in Douglas County.
"The war in Iraq and draft possibilities attract the attention of young voters," Loomis said.
He said that Democrats would gain voter registration because they were supplying more energetic activists in this election cycle.
"Lawrence has a huge population turnover, which may have caused the registration increase," Loomis said. "But the local Democrats could be succeeding in getting people to vote."
"More people are registering now because our generation will face the consequences of our decisions in this election for years to come," Dunlap said.
KU students add to the population turnover in the county and could have affected the registration increase. said
Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Other student senators said extreme differences between the presidential candidates caused the increased voter registration.
"This year's candidates are so polarized that they affect the students directly in more ways than one," said Katie Wolff, chairwoman of the Student Legislative Awareness Board.

Rail tracks death ruled suicide
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WELLINGTON — The death of an Argonia teenager hit by a train was a suicide "staged to give the appearance of a homicide," the Sumner County Sheriff's Office said yesterday.
The July 5 death of Jacob "Jake" Allen, has haunted this rural Kansas community since media reports surfaced that the 19-year-old had apparently been tied with bailing wire to the tracks.
"There is no evidence that any other person or persons took part in or were present at Mr. Allen's death," the sheriff's department said in a news release.
Forensic examinations were done on evidence from the scene and Allen's home. Evidence included autopsy results, fingerprints, documents, handwriting analysis, tool mark identification, fiber comparison, blood analysis and DNA matching. Two computers were also searched.
"Nothing revealed in this case would connect it to any investigation in any other jurisdiction."
Sumner County Sheriff Gerald Gilkey was not available for comment yesterday. The release did not give any further details of the case.

Allen graduated as Argonia High School valedictorian in May and had planned to attend Northeastern Oklahoma University.

Stadium.
The club started in May and has about 300 members. The march before the homecoming game is the club's first event.
"You can get sent to Iraq, but you can't even have a glass of wine at your own wedding," said Jared Loehr, president for the club.
People sometimes lose a sense of moderation when they come to college, said Loehr, Overland Park sophomore. Changing the drinking age to 18 might allow people to grow into drinking responsibly, he said.
Loehr said the club was looking for sympathetic representatives and senators who would go to a higher court to get the legal drinking age lowered.
Every state that wants to receive federal funding for transportation must set the legal drinking age at 18, said David Cortiss, administrative legal services director for the city of Lawrence.
Loehr said the club wanted to get people to lobby during January, February and March to help lower the age.
The KU Public Safety Office had no comment on lowering the age. Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the office would enforce whatever is made law.

How does camping for basketball games work?
KU Athletics doesn't administer or oversee campings in any way. Basically, a group signs up at the beginning, and has to be represented by at least one person from 6am to midnight, every day. If your roll is taken and a group has no representative, they lose their place in line.
1. Camping will take place from 6 am until 10pm every weekday and weekend.
2. If the fieldhouse is closed, it will be put to a vote by the teams if camping should continue. If voted to continue, camping will be in the parking garage. If suspended, a list will be posted and teams can add their names.
3. Each team may consist of no more than 30 members. Half of this number, up to 15, my enter the fieldhouse when the doors are opened.
4. Camping for a game cannot begin until 6 am following the preceding home game.
5. Camping will be suspended for one hour prior to an out-of-town game and will resume one hour after the end.
6. Any team may call roll at any time.
7. Camping can be suspended if there is a justifiable reason, a majority of the present teams agree, and a notice is posted with the date and time that camping will resume. Any队 arriving during suspension may add their name to the list.
8. When campers are asked to exit the field-house to line up before game time, one or more groups must be in charge of lining up the teams.
9. Be courteous of other groups.
10. Camping rules are developed by campers for campers.

Coalition short on funds for Homeless Summit
inceton Review
Bellezza Karen Dawen
Association Council
The Statewide Homeless Summit is being held at the University of Kansas this year. While members of the Lawrence Coalition on Homeless Concerns said they are excited for the summit, they are also having financial worries.
Because the summit does not charge its guests, like other conferences, the coalition is left looking for the final $3,000 for this event.
"We were excited that the summit was coming to Lawrence but we panicked upon hearing the summit would cost so much money; especially when we were
told the Coalition had to raise the money," said Steve Ozark, co-chairman of Lawrence Coalition on Homeless Concerns. "We only have about a thousand dollars in our budget at any given time — at best. And so far the food alone has racked up a bill of $3,000."
The total cost of the summit is $20,000. The $17,000 that was already raised was through private donations and grants. One such grant was from Kansas Housing Resource Corporation, which gave the Summit $5,000.
The money for the summit is used for printing of programs and other materials, staff, parking, speakers and food. As for the renting of facilities, the University of Kansas waved the
$1,200 rental fee for the summit.
Randy L. Crandall, chairman of Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition that sponsors the annual summit, said they never charged for the summit
Louise Kirkpatrick, tenant and landlord counselor for Housing and Credit Counseling Inc., said that not charging for the summit was the best idea.
"We want there to be no barriers for service providers that are attending, the homeless that attend, or people who have been homeless in the past and for government agencies that send representatives," Crandall said.

"For my organization, it means we can send multiple people to the summit." Kirkpatrick said. "Education

The Student Fitness Recreation Center was more active than usual last night. Homecoming took over — literally.
Thirty-two men's teams, eight women's teams and two coed teams competed in the three-on-three basketball tournament yesterday.
Teams were first divided into pools, and then brackets were formed for a single-elimination round that led to the championship games.
Kurt Schooley, assistant director of sport programs, addresses the crowd of basketball players at the three-on-three tournament. The basketball tournament was held in the Student Fitness Recreation Center for homecoming week.
In each game, the first team to score nine points with a lead of two or more points won.

"We've been working since Sunday, practicing every night," Dutton, Overland Park sophomore, said.

Student-run committee helps bring 'Hawks home
www.kansan.com
With University of Kansas homecoming this weekend, it's important for students to consider all of the events and the work put into them. Homecoming is unique in that it is a completely student-driven project. The homecoming committee, consisting of KU students only, raises the money and plans all of the events on its own.
When students think of homecoming, usually the first event that comes to mind is the football game. This year, the game will be even more exciting because of the huge Kansas versus Kansas State rivalry.
This may be an event to look forward to, but it's not the only fun thing to do during homecoming week. Among other events, the parade is on a Saturday this year.
This will be more convenient for students who have class on Friday afternoons. A mural display in Strong Hall, a pizza-eating contest, a Jayhawk Idol contest and a K-car bash are all homecoming
events happening this week. If none of these events strike an interest, the Web site, www.homecoming.ku.edu, has plenty more events listed in an easy-to-follow schedule.
Because the University's own students had the drive to take on such a big project for the University, it's important to show school spirit.
schedule. The homecoming committee has put plenty of hard work and time into planning another great year of festivities, so students should look up the Web site and take advantage of all the fun.
By coming out to the events, KU students can show their support for the University. It would also be a great thank you to the people who dedicated their time and effort to planning such a fun week for everyone at the University.
Keep supporting the tradition here at KU by attending as many events as possible and cheering the Jayhawks to victory this Saturday.

Will the real Kerry please stand up?
John Kerry and John Edwards believe that there are two Americas. I believe that there are two John Kerrys.
believe that these are the new skills.
When you think of it in those terms, Kerry's actions make much more sense. There is a more conservative John Kerry, and then there is a very liberal John Kerry. Sometimes one of them votes, sometimes the other one votes. Sometimes one of them debates, sometimes the other one debates. Sometimes, right before our eyes, one John Kerry changes places with the other John Kerry in the middle of a speech. It's very tricky.
GUEST COMMENTARY
The first John Kerry voted for the war in Iraq and made clear that he considered Saddam Hussein a threat to national security. The second John Kerry called the Iraq war "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."
The first John Kerry said in the first presidential debate, "I'll never give a veto to any country over our security." The second John Kerry, in that same debate, said that any preemptive military action must pass "the global test," insinuating that any military action by the United States must have global support or else Kerry won't do what is necessary to protect the country.
The first John Kerry used the words "kill" and "attack" in the first presidential debate because, indeed, those actions are required in the War on Terror. The second John Kerry believes that the War on Terror needs to be more "sensitive."
GUEST COMMENTATOR
VINCE MYERS
opinion@kansan.com
The first John Kerry has said that the death penalty should be applied to terrorists. The second John Kerry has said he doesn't support the death penalty because, as he said in 2002, "I think it is worse to take somebody and put them in a small cell for the rest of their life, deprived of their freedom."
The first John Kerry told a newspaper in Iowa, "I believe that life begins at conception," insinuating a Catholic, pro-life stance. The second John Kerry has been present when abortion votes have come up in the Senate during the past 20 years, and he has voted for abortion rights each and every time.
The first John Kerry served in Vietnam and won several medals for his service. That is, presumably, the same John Kerry who "reported for duty" during his nomination speech at the Democratic National Convention. The second John Kerry accused Vietnam soldiers of war crimes and atrocities. It's the John Kerry who protested the war during the 1970s and threw away combat medals in a statement against
the war.
The first John Kerry is an intelligent man. The second John Kerry claimed he was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, 1968, when President Richard Nixon had said that no troops were in Cambodia at that time. Not only was John Kerry not in Cambodia on Christmas Eve — he was several miles outside the border — but Lyndon B. Johnson was president at the time, not Richard Nixon.
So it's apparent that there are two often contradictory John Kerrys. I like the first John Kerry. The second John Kerry has his priorities backwards. I'm sure a lot of people like the second John Kerry and dislike the first. It seems to me that the best solution is to have another primary in which the American people can vote for their favorite John Kerry, and then that Kerry can run against George W. Bush in the general election.
Unfortunately, there will be no Kerry Primary. Upwards of 40 percent of likely voters support John Kerry. There is a chance that Kerry could win the presidency in 2004. But which John Kerry will take office? We won't know that until the votes are cast, the politicking is finished and one of the two John Kerrys steps forward to be sworn in on Jan. 20, 2005. Whichever Kerry steps forward that day, a lot of people will have been duped.

Slurin Jayplaymusicreview inappropriate,unnecessary
The Kansan would like to issue an apology. In yesterday's Jayplay, a writer used a racial slur in a Marilyn Manson music review. Though the writer intended this phrase to be a satirical reference to the artists Eminem and Vanilla ice, it was inexcusable.
Ahsan Latif, the writer of the review, said he did not use the phrase to malign or insult readers.
I included the phrase as a satirical reference to racist Manson fans who dismiss white rappers as cultural poseurs," Latif said. "I should have realized the slur I appropriated, because of its dynamic history, cannot simply fit into the limited meaning I intended. I apologize for its use and any offense its inclusion caused."
The responsibility for this error is not sole Lait's. The Jayplay editors, copy editors and proofreaders share the same responsibility to ensure quality writing for our readers.
In this issue's production, the editing process broke down. Steps have and will be taken to ensure this will not happen again.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In addition, the Kansan will work with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and several student organizations to host a forum to discuss the issues, specifically the effects of racial slurs, intentioned or not.

Failure to engage and destroy the enemy, radical Islamic terrorism, will only result in far greater losses of life in the future. We can either allow our enemy to define the battlefield, — the USS Cole, U.S. embassies, and 9/11 — or we can define where the battle will be fought and engage the enemy there.
The 1050 plus soldiers and American civilians who have sacrificed their lives for this nation are heroes, not victims to be used in a thinly veiled political statement.
I believe unequivocally that these soldiers would be offended at being portrayed as victims. We must remember them as the heroes they are.

The City of Lawrence has a new poster targeted at students of all ages, focusing on the consequences of drunken driving.
The city is working with the KU Public Safety Office to distribute posters to all residential locations on the University of Kansas campus.

The posters will be displayed in residence halls and fraternity and sorority housing and also at Haskell Indian Nations University.
The poster is part of a long-term interest the city has had in educating students about alcohol, said Lisa Patterson, communications coordinator for the city.

Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, was the photographer for the poster. Ward shot the photograph from a cherrypicker, and it shows emergency workers standing with emergency vehicles and a helicopter.

Although city officials have no way of knowing how much the poster is helping deter people from drinking and driving, Patterson said she thought the concept of educating students about alcohol had proven to be effective.
If the poster causes one person to think about not driving drunk, then it has done its job, Ward said.
"The worst thing you can do is not do anything at all." Ward said. Would it help or not? I don't know".
The police department arrested 475 people for drunken driving between January and August 2004. Ward said.
Ward said June, July and December were the lowest months for drunken driving
If students have been drinking and they need to leave, then they need to call a cab or a friend or walk. Ward said.
April and May had the highest number of drunken driving arrests, Ward said.
The city invited all law enforcement to participate with the poster, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office.
arrests.
If students cannot find a way to leave, then they need to wait until the alcohol is out of their system before they drive, Ward said.
While Ward said the department could not pick out which violators were students, he noticed the number of arrests greatly decreased when the students left for vacation or the summer.
"One drunk driver is one drunk driver too many." Bailey said.
Even if students have had little to drink and think they can make it home on their own, they are still under the influence, Ward said.

ORCHESTRA: 'A special concert for us'
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The orchestra will perform Festival Overture by Shostakovich, Piano Concerto No. 2 by Saint-Saens and Symphony No. 6, Pathetique by Tchaikovsky.
"This is a really special concert for us," said Emily Stewart, Kansas City, Mo., senior and violin performance major. "I think the audience will be surprised
with how challenging our repertoire is."
The violinist credited sectional rehearsals and faculty involvement for the improvement of the orchestra. Stewart practices 30 hours total each week, she said.
"That's very typical of a violin performance major," Stewart said.

Violinist Cori Simmons plans to teach strings once she graduates.

After the concert, the last event of the the night will take place on the second floor of the Adams Alumni Center, 1266 Oread Ave., across from the Kansas Union parking garage. The KU Class of 1964 is having its 40-year reunion, and there will be a dance from 9 until 11 p.m. The dance will be open to everyone, and students are encouraged to bust a move with the older generation.
The traditional homecoming Parade will take place tomorrow. Charlie Gruber, University alumnus and 2004 U.S. Olympic Team member, will be the grand marshal. Gruber competed in the 1,500-meter run at the 2004 Summer Olympic games, but fell just short of being eligible for the finals by finishing ninth place.
WEEKEND: More community involvement

and members of numerous organizations, including the Arab Shriner's Clown Unit and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Douglas County, will participate.
Last year's event started new parade traditions, Anderson said. The coordinators emphasized putting more spirit and diverse involvement in the parade, including introducing a high school marching band competition. The winners got to play in the parade, she said.
Grand marshals in recent years include Danny Manning in 2003 and Don Fambrough in 2002.
"We're trying to help that tradition grow bigger," Anderson said.
This year's parade will continue the marching band competition and will feature more than 300 high school students playing in the parade, she said.
Manning played on the men's basketball team from 1985 to 1988, leading the Jayhawks to a national championship in 1988. Fambrough was the football team's head coach from 1971 to 1974 and from 1979 to 1982.
Thirteen floats, eight marching bands and eight decorated vehicles are in the lineup. KU Public Safety Office, the ROTC Color Guard, Chancellor Robert Hemenway, Mayor Mike Rundle and some of the former KU homecoming queens will also be in the parade.
"Our goal is to try and top it this year," said Marlyse Anderson, Oathe senior and 2004 Homecoming parade co-chairwoman.
For early-morning risers, there will be a pancake feed from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. on the Stauffer-Flint lawn.
This year's parade will also draw in more participants from the Lawrence community. Various local organizations and a dance team from Haskell Indian Nations University, the New Dawn Native Dancers, will be in the parade. The purpose of making an effort to include members of the Lawrence community is to show that homecoming is about more than just the University, Anderson said.
According to University Relations, 2003's homecoming parade was the largest parade in University history.
The parade will start at the Adams Alumni Center at 11 a.m. and wind its way through campus, ending at the Chi Omega Fountain.
"It's not just a University thing," she said. "It's more of a Lawrence event."
One hundred Flags of KU and various banners will wave throughout the parade. Each flag represents a University group or residence hall. Representatives

COUNTY: Registrators increase
"President Bush's and Senator Kerry's platforms are radically different creating a political frenzy nationwide," Wolff said. "A student vote simply strengthens the ideals that this country was founded on."
Mark Lyda, co-director of the KU Center for Community Outreach, said college-aged students are volunteering now more than ever.
"Students are becoming more actively involved with the political process." Lyda said. "People finally realize that voter registration is vitally important because this election affects our quality of life."
Chris Brown, Lawrence senior, attributed the increase in county registration to the overflow of anti-Bush voters.
"Lawrence is such a liberal hipple-ville," Brown said. "Locals make it a point to register and vote against Bush more than anything else."
The Douglas County Clerk Election Office is expecting even more voter registrations before the deadline.
the deadline. "Our estimations are high for the remaining county citizens to
register before deadline." Penrod said.
A large portion of the registrations could still come from students who have yet to register.
Voter registration applications are available online at www.douglas-county.com or at the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union.
Student Senate and SLAB will be helping students register to vote through the Oct. 18 deadline.
"The best way for elected officials to have the ability to take care of KU needs is to know students will back them with support and their vote," Wolff said.

Smith earns team spot on soccer mag's list
US
Last weekend's performance by junior forward Caroline Smith did not go unnoticed.
Her three goal and two assist assault during two games earned her a spot on Soccer America's Team of the Week.
Smith contributed eight points in the two games to give her 17 points for the season, which is a team high. Three of the points by Smith came in the Texas Tech game where she scored one goal and an assist. In the Baylor game Smith scored the other five points with two goals and an assist.
"We've been playing better the past few weekends, so that helps a lot," Smith said. "We've gotten a lot more chances, both individually and as a team. The goals come when you get a lot of chances."
The three goals and two assists brought Smith's season total to six goals and five assists, both lead the team. The honor is the second one received by a Jayhawk this season. Sophomore defender Holly Gault was named to the team on Sept. 2.

Swimming, diving team opens season today
The Kansas swimming and diving team will open its 2004-05 season today with an intrasquad meet at the Robinson Natatorium.
Today's event will serve as a warm-up for a flurry of meets beginning Oct. 14, when Kansas hosts Texas, followed by the Big 12 Relays Oct. 15, and ending in a dual meet against Texas A&M, Oct. 16th, all at Robinson Natatorium.
"Our 2004-05 schedule has a great mix of events to get us ready for the Big 12 and NCAA Championships," said third-year swimming coach Clark Campbell. "Kicking off the season with a dual meet versus a top-10 school like Texas is an
enormous challenge, but we are ready to take that step.
The Jayhawks return 19 letterwinners, including six seniors, from a team that finished 9-3 in dual meets and third at the Big 12 Conference Championships last season. One of the returning seniors, Amy Gruber, is fresh off her second consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships.
The Bigelow, Ark., native, was also selected to the All-Big 12 Swimming and Diving First Team. The diving team, led by first-year diving coach Eric Elliott, has high expectations for the divers including sophomore Shelby Noonan, the lone NCAA Zone Diving qualifier for the Javhawks last season.
The Jayhawks will also look for team points from five strong newcomers that have joined the 2004-05 roster.
The 2004-05 intrasquad meet gets under way at 6 p.m. today in the Robinson Natatorium.

Baseball to scrimmage; games open to public
Baseball fans are getting their fill of baseball these days with the Major League Baseball Playoffs on ESPN and Fox. For those die-hard fans who want to more, you can see it live this weekend.
The Kansas baseball team is participating in fall intrasquad scrimmages in preparation for the spring season. The scrimmages are free and open to the public.
The games get under way at 6 p.m. today with the annual Parents' Day scrimmage. On Saturday and Sunday, the Jayhawks will scrimmage at 1 p.m. On Monday and Tuesday, scrimmages will be at 3 p.m.
That's five straight days of games for Kansas coach Ritch Price and his Jayhawks, who have been lifting weights and holding individual workouts all semester.
Last weekend, the Jayhawks had scrimmages as well. Sophomore pitcher Sean Land was impressive on the mound.
"Overall, I was pleased with Sean's outing," Price said. "He has shown a lot of progress from last season to this fall. He showed good command of three pitches and was dominating on the mound.
He pitched five innings and allowed only one hit, while hitting 90 miles per hour on the radar gun.
Kodiak Quick, a junior transfer from Stanford, also threw a couple innings. He struck out four and walked none, while also repeatedly hitting 90 miles per hour on the gun.

'Hawks to win showdown
This week's slate of games features some tough games that could be called either way.
Kealing: Kansas will add to its 26-game lead over K-State
But one game will be an easy pick. The Kick the Kansan ballots had San Diego instead of Southern California. Everyone will get points for this game.
For this week, I predict another slight improvement in my record. This week's goal is 10-2.
Kansas State at Kansas
The Sunflower Showdown
Kansas holds a 26-game lead in
total victories, but Kansas
State has won the past 11
match-ups.
This season, we may finally have some drama in a game where the winner has outscored the loser almost 5-1 during the past decade.
15 Wisconsin at #18 Ohio State
Pick: Kansas
Undefeated Wisconsin would like nothing more than a chance to dash the dreams of Big Ten rival Ohio State.
If this game were at Wisconsin, it would be an almost impossible choice, but the Horseshoe in Columbus is as difficult a place to play as any in college football. This game will be won by no more than a field goal.
Pick: Ohio State
5 Texas at #2 Oklahoma
The Red River Shotout hasn't exactly lived up to its billing in the last few years.
This will mark the teams' 99th consecutive meeting, with Oklahoma having won the past four games.
KICK THE KANSAN
Texas coach Mack Brown has been unable to win this huge rivalry game and won't find a victory this year.
---
Pick: Oklahoma
13 Minnesota at #14 Michigan
Minnesota has outscored its opponents 193-82 this season
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
and has yet to lose. Michigan, on the other hand, has been all kinds of inconsistent, not performing as well as the team did last season.
Pick: Minnesota
8 Florida State at Syracuse
Hmmm, perennial ACC football powerhouse or a college football team that plays in a dome?
Syracuse has the ability to build a decent program and even compete in the weak Big East Conference. But it does not have the ability to compete with Florida State.
Pick: Florida State
7 California at #1 Southern California
It's Southern California, not San Diego. Southern California has shown weaknesses recently while California has done a relatively solid job of working through its schedule. Because it won't count toward my record, (unless of course, I win) I'll take the upset.
Pick: California
Georgia Tech at #23 Maryland
Who loses to North Carolina in football? Evidently, Georgia Tech does. Maryland has beaten North Carolina a lot more times than North Carolina has beaten Marvelland.
I say the Terps win by at least two touchdowns.
Pick: Maryland
17 Tennessee at #3 Georgia
Georgia has bullied its way to the top of the Southeastern Conference — the best conference in college football
Tennessee is simply playing for a respectable position in the conference. Right now, it is tied for fifth overall. Another loss will hurt A LOT.
Pick: Georgia
22 Oklahoma State at Colorado
Pick: Oklahoma State
Colorado started the season as the only North team to go 3-0. But that won't be enough to defeat a good team from the strong Southern part of the conference.
Nebraska at Texas Tech
Neither team has a clear cut advantage in this game. Unfortunately for Nebraska, Texas Tech wins because its defense is better than Nebraska's offense.
Pick: Texas Tech
Texas A&M at Iowa State
Last week, Texas A&M proved that its program was improving with a victory over Kansas State.
Iowa State, on the other hand, is the only team challenging Kansas for last place in the Big 12 North.
Pick: Texas A&M
Carleton at St. Olaf
St. Olaf is such a cool place. Well, at least it seems like that way on TV and in movies where the town is mentioned.
Texas-FI Paso at Fresno State
Fresno State was having a dream season until last week's loss. Texas-El Paso, just 2-2, will have its hands full with an angry Fresno State.
Pick: Fresno State
It's so cool, in fact, that I'm going to pick it to win. Go St. Olaf.
Pick: St. Olaf
Kealing is a Chesterfield, Mc. sophomore in journalism and political science.

K-State predicted to have 'edge' over Kansas
BY JONATHAN KEALING AND RYAN COLAIANNI sports@kansan.com
30
Not since the streak began has the line on a Kansas-Kansas State football game been so close.
Going into the game, Kansas was listed as a 2.5 point underdog. The last time Kansas lost to Kansas State by such a small margin was Oct. 9, 1993, in Manhattan.
As coach Mark Mangino said yesterday, the key to beating K-State is stopping senior running back Darren Sproles. He also emphasized how important it was to respond to the other aspects of its offense.
Kansas' defense has the potential to stuff Kansas State, but will its offense be able to put points on the board? They have not scored a touchdown in six quarters.
Clark Green, then sophomore running back, was tackled by Kansas State's Josh Buhl, then senior linebacker, in the first quarter of the game. The Jaynawks lost 42-6 in Manhattan last year on Oct. 25.
Quarterback
Edge: Kansas State
Kansas State sophomore quarterback Dylan Meier is a much different quarterback than last year's quarterback Ell Roberson. Meier does not have the running ability of Roberson. Meier has just 147 yards rushing through the teams four games this season. Meier has not used his arm that often thus far, he is averaging 143 yards per game passing with five touchdowns and three interceptions. Roberson averaged nearly 200 yards passing and nearly 100 yards on the ground per game. Kansas sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann ranks second in passing yards and touchdown passes in the Big 12 so far this season. Barmann's yardage total could have been even higher, as the Kansas wide receivers have had many dropped passes so far this season. He has a much stronger arm than Meier as he is averaging 225.4 yards passing per game. With Barmann's arm strength and production this season so far, Barmann gets the edge.
Edge: Kansas
Running Back
Sophomore running back John Randle seems to have firmly established himself as THE running back for Kansas. After posting a career best 105 yards rushing last week, he will be critical to Kansas' offensive success this week.
K-State's Sproles proved himself to be explosive over the last couple of years. Considered by
many to be a strong candidate for the Heisman Trophy, he may have fumbled that away last weekend.
Edge: Kansas State
Wide Receiver
If beating the Jayhawks were not enough incentive for the Olathe native, the opportunity to make up for last week will propel Sproles through the game. Interestingly, K-State has outrushed its opponents in its victories, and trailed in its losses.
The Jayhawks have struggled at times this season catching the football, costing the 'Hawks first downs and touchdowns. Barmann's favorite target is senior Brandon Rideau who has 273 yards receiving with four touchdowns. Kansas has six players with 10 catches or more on the season including three with 20 or more. Kansas State on the other hand have just two players with 10 catches or more and none with more than 11 catches. Barmann has the ability to hit a receiver deep, and with the Kansas speedy receivers he could be successful with this on Saturday. Since Kansas is more inclined to throw the football and have had more success this season, the edge goes to Kansas.
Offensive Line
Edge: Kansas
He's back. Senior right guard Tony Coker, that is. Coker has been seeing minimal or no playing time since the season began, as he recovered from an ankle injury. Early this week, he pronounced himself 100 percent. Joining by a line which showed great improvement last week, Kansas' line could have a stand-out night.
K-State's offensive line is almost as experienced as possible. With four seniors and a junior listed at the top of its depth chart, K-State's offensive line is a major contributor to Sproles' success. Combined, the five offensive linemen have 71 career starts for K-State.
Edge: Kansas State
Linebackers
Kansas has one of the best linebacking corps in the Big 12, and it proved to be an important part of the defense. All juniors at the starting spots, Nick Reid and Kevin Kane are both high on the Big 12 team leaders in tackles.
Kansas State has a particularly average linebacking corps. The linebackers tend to run hot and cold, and have faced somewhat of a struggle with injuries.
They should have all of their regular started back, but, they're not quite capable of the things Kansas' linebackers can do.
Edge: Kansas
Secondary
Kansas' corner, sophomore Charles Gordon, recorded two picks last week against Nebraska. The rest of the defense pulled in one more errant pass from Joe Dailleley of Nebraska, and that was without senior safety Tony Stubbs. His return, and Gordon's breakout performance have improved a unit that was one of the weakest facets of last year's Kansas defense.
K-State's secondary is balanced between experience and youth. Junior safety Jesse Tetuan has made 19 consecutive starts, and leads the team with 27 tackles this season. Senior corner Cedrick Williams has started 15 consecutive games and is considered by some analysts to be one of the best corners in the Big 12.
Edge: Push
Defensive Line
Kansas State has been traditionally known for a spectacular defense. Last season the unit had 51 sacks in 13 games, this year the defense has struggled as it has just three sacks in four games Kansas has 11 this season, as the Jayhawk defense continues to show that they are a much better unit than it was last season. The 'Hawks have four players with two sacks. Game after game they have been successful in getting pressure on the quarterback. Both teams have had issues at times in stopping the run. Kansas has allowed 100 yards by a running back the past three games and in facing Sproles it may very well be a fourth straight game. The Wildcats are giving up more than
150 yards rushing per game. With Kansas' ability to get pressure on the quarterback, the edge goes to Kansas.
Edge: Kansas
Special Teams
Johnny Beck certainly improved last weekend as he went 2-2 in field goal tries. Mangino has not announced who will see the majority of the field goal kicking options, but with Beck's success last week, he likely will get an opportunity. As a team Kansas is 6-15 on field goals. The Wildcats on the other hand, have yet to miss a field goal. Joe Rheem is 7-7 on the season with a long of 41 yards. Darren Sproles handles much of the punt returns, yet last week he fumbled twice. Still, with Sproles' quickness he could easily break one for a touchdown. With the Wildcats solid place kicking play thus far, and Sproles' elusiveness, the edge
goes to Kansas State Edge: Kansas State
Coaches
Mark Mangino served with Kansas State coach Bill Snyder on the Wildcats coaching staff in the '90s. Mangino's coaching style is similar to Snyder's. Snyder is a good model to follow as he put the Wildcats on the college football map. Snyder who is his 16th season as coach, is 129-57-1 in his career with the Wildcats. He has also taken them to 11 straight bowl games and one the Big 12 title for the first time last season. Snyder may not have Kansas State off to the start that it is used to, but one thing you can count on is the Wildcats will be prepared for the Jayhawks. With Snyder's success at Kansas State, the edge goes to the Wildcats.

Chiefs unaltered defensive strategy re-evaluated after only victory
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Knowing people are making fun of his players, Gunther Cunningham employed an ancient coaching ploy and made sure his players knew it, too.
It got their attention and fueled their drive, just as Cunningham expected. Playing together for a month and letting everybody get adjusted to a new system and a different attitude was also a big help.
As a result, the Kansas City Chiefs are enjoying their bye
week much more than one would expect of a 1-3 team.
"It's coming," said Cunningham, the Chiefs' new defensive coordinator. "I knew it was."
What drew sneers around the league was the Chiefs' surprising offseason decision to virtually stand pat with an ineffective defense. Instead of working free agency for new players, the Chiefs concentrated on re-signing their own. The only meaningful change in a defense that ranked 32nd overall in 2002 and 29th in 2003 seemed to be in
defensive coordinators.
defensive coordinator. Out was Greg Robinson, who had become unpopular with both players and fans. Back was Cunningham, the former defensive coordinator and head coach who was in charge of Kansas City defenses in the mid- and late 1990s that led the NFL in fewest points allowed.
But could a poor defense get appreciably better just by changing coaches?
The answer the first two games was a resounding no. People were calling them the "Career-Day Defense" when first
Quentin Griffin and then DeShaun Foster gouged Kansas City for their best games as NFL running backs.
The Texans struggled all day on offense. And at Baltimore last Monday night, the defense held NFL rushing champion Jamal Lewis to just 73 yards and thwarted two fourth-quarter drives to preserve what everyone viewed as a must win. Two
Baltimore touchdowns came on a punt return and a trick play.
"It's a process. It takes time," Cunningham said. "We are just staying with a plan we have and we're going to teach these guys to play football and how to play it the way we believe it should be played.
"I think the players are buying into what we've been telling them. We've made steady progress, the last two games in particular."
particular.
It's not entirely true the Chiefs have no new defensive players. Tackle Lionel Dalton, an almost
overlooked free agent, has been a major help.
No. 1 draft choice Junior Siavi, a 350-pound tackle, is also providing assistance as he hones raw skills.
But improvement seems to be coming mostly from the same cast that failed to force even one punt out of Indianapolis in the playoffs.
"I took it real personally when I heard them saying the Chiefs could not be any good since they kept the same defensive players and only changed their defensive coordinator," Cunningham said.

Kansas continues Missouri rivalry today, looks to take over lead in border series
KELLI ROBINETT

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Border Showdown begins at 7 tonight when the Kansas women's soccer team takes on Missouri at the Audrey J. Walton Soccer Complex in Columbia, Mo.
The Tigers are tied for fourth in the Big 12 standings with a 5-6-1 season record and a 2-2 league mark.
Missouri is coming off a weekend in which it lost in double overtime to Nebraska and defeated Colorado 1-0.
Kansas comes into the game 11-2 on the season with a 3-1 record in Big 12 Conference play.
The Jayhawks are ranked 10th nationally and are riding the momentum of a three-game winning streak.
"it's definitely good to get three wins in a row heading into the game at Missouri," said junior forward Caroline Smith.
The Jayhawks and Tigers are tied with a 5-5 overall series record. Kansas claimed two victories over Missouri last year, defeating the Tigers 2-0 at home during regular season play and again in the NCAA Tournament.

Missouri has not played particularly well at home this season, posting a .500 record of 3-3-1, but the rivalry aspect of the game should add intensity for both sides.

“You're always excited about Mizzou,” said Kansas coach Mark Francis. “It’s always a big rivalry.”
If Kansas hopes to contribute to the Tigers' home woes, it will have to slow down Missouri's leading scorer, junior forward Jennifer Nobis, who has found the back of the net five times this year.

The Missouri scorers hope to find a weakness in Kansas senior goalie Meghan Miller, who has been dominant for much of the season with nine

The Tigers, with freshman goalie Laura Buehrig, will also have to slow down a Jayhawk offense that has scored eight goals in its last two games.
Buehrig has 50 saves on the season, but she has allowed 18 goals, compared to Miller's four.

A winning streak in 'Hawks' favor

Kansas never loses when playing K-State for homecoming
The Jayhawks hold a record of 38-47-5 in homecoming games, but Kansas has never lost one of its homecoming games to K-State.
Kansas may have a losing homecoming record, but when facing Kansas State in one of its homecoming games, its record is nothing short of perfect.
During the 102 years of football competition between the two schools, K-
Kansas is 8-0 in those games, outscoring K-State 237-71. The Jayhawks faced the Wildcats in homecoming games in the following years: 1945,1961,1963,1965,1967,1971,1973 and 1990.
Kansas finished with a winning record in just two of the eight years that K-State has been a homecoming opponent.
State has been a homecoming foe in Lawrence eight times.
Kansas has shut out K-State four times in the eight homecoming games at Memorial Stadium.
Kansas faced K-State for the first time in a homecoming game in 1945. Kansas won 27-0.
In 1965, Kansas won two games in the season, but still beat K-State on homecoming 34-0.
The 1973 victory drew the largest
crowd of all time in Memorial Stadium a record 51,574 fans in attendance. Coach Mark Mangino said he hoped the fans would fill up the stadium this weekend.
The last time Kansas faced K-State in a homecoming game was 1990 — Kansas won 27-24. Since then, Kansas has defeated K-State just once in 13 games.
"Our fans have had ample opportunities to buy tickets and fill up the stadium." Mangino said. "I know the students will be there. Their support has been awesome this year."
The players said that just because their recent success against K-State has been minimal, it didn't mean Kansas was going to let K-State come into its stadium and win.
"We know that this is K-State, they are a big rival of ours and we haven't
beat them in a long time," senior line backer Banks Floodman said."We are looking forward to the opportunity."
Floodman, Wichita junior, said that players from Kansas probably understand this rivalry better than his out-of-state teammates.
state teammates. "But they are pretty enthused about it," Floodman said. "We talk a lot about it in the locker room and we are really excited about it."
Sophomore running back John Randle thinks the Jayhawks could make their homecoming record against the Wildcats 9-0.
"If we play well for the whole ball game, then we have a good chance." Randle said. "They are a good team, but playing in the Big 12, we expect that."

Transfer athletes can reach potential
Coming to a new school to compete athletically is never an easy adjustment.
Every Division I athlete along the way has faced these types of obstacles and adjustments.
Especially when that school enrolls more than 20,000 students and is a Division-I athletic institution.
before she unleashes her power at the Division-1 level.
It is only a matter of time
Now toss into
the mix that you're an athlete who's not even from this country — like Kansas volleyball newcomer Paula Caten, Canaarana, Brazil, junior.
Although she has lived the past two years in Great Bend and is used to living as a foreigner according to American standards, she is still new to the University of Kansas.
In the Wednesday edition of The University Daily Kansan, sportswriter Bill Cross explored the adjustments that Caten is making while working to succeed in her position as an outside hitter on the volleyball team and living without her 3-year-old daughter, who is still living in Brazil.
To be in an entirely different continent from her daughter, Paola, has to be upsetting to her, but the junior college transfer is also getting used to a new level of volleyball.
While attending Barton County Community College at the same time as Caten, I had a courtside view of what she can do.
She lead her Barton County teammates to an NJCAA championship last year. It is only a matter of time before she unleashes her power at the Division-I level, living up to her preseason Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year status.
Although she may be struggling in her new home at Kansas, her teammate Ashley Michaels, senior middle blocker, was absolutely right when she predicted that Caten will be an amazing player.
Caten is not the only athlete in this situation. There are numerous athletes who endure changes in their athletic career.
Many athletes transfer in from never-heard-of schools or come in as freshmen, only to be constantly questioned about their true talent.
The world of athletics is unfair and heartbreaking.
As rough as the road may be, athletes love what they do and who they do it for—which is exactly the point Caten is proving.
Athletes open their reputations up to questioning every time they take the field or court.
She is making the adjustments, improving and doing it all for someone other than herself.
Caten can live up to the hype that has built up around her. She is trying to reach her potential at Kansas as she did at Barton County Community College.
Every athlete has support somewhere.
Whether struggling or not, each athlete has that person behind him, believing in them, knowing what others don't.
But all athletes also have something inside, reassuring their confidence and pushing them onward. Caten's just happens to be in a little girl, and I commend her for rising to the challenge.

Jayhawks flock to field
Fans rush the field of Memorial Stadium seconds after the end of the Jayhawks' win over the Wildcats. Before game ended, fans in the student section crowded the edge of the field while police officers, event security staff members and national guardsmen tried to keep them back. Crowd members snapped photos with camera phones and cameras while the goalposts were torn down and carried to Potter Lake.

Clint Brown had to walk home barefoot from Memorial Stadium.
He searched the pile of more than 30 shoes located just a couple of yards from the back of the south end zone. He said he couldn't find his because they all looked alike.
"I think someone must have walked off with mine," he said.
Brown, along with about 20,000 Kansas fans, stormed the football field and tore down the goal posts after Kansas' 31-28 victory over Kansas State on Saturday.
"It was crazy, everyone stormed the field and I lost my shoes and my cell phone," Brown, Cincinnati freshman, said. "Everyone was just running in the crowd, I was getting knocked all over the place."
Jason Patterson, Wichita freshman, said with two minutes left in the game, students knew they were going to tear down the goal posts.
"Everyone knew the goal posts were coming down, so we were planning it at the end of the game." Patterson said.

A rock 'n' rollin' administrator and a scantily dressed Dorothy highlighted the last events of homecoming this weekend.
With a live disc jockey on hand, music from the 1960s to the 1990s rang throughout the Adams Alumni Center Friday night for the first-ever inaugural homecoming dance. Some joined Richard Johnson, dean of students, and the homecoming steering committee for nearly every song.
Kent McCoin graduated from the University of Kansas in 1964 and he and his wife, Dale, danced most of the night. Kent said he enjoyed dancing alongside students more than 20 years his younger.
"I'm a believer in the young generation."

In the middle of Play That Funky Music, Johnson provided the highlight of the evening with an air guitar solo - on the floor. After the disc jockey handed him an inflatable guitar, Johnson dropped to the floor and continued to rock out on his back.

Rumsfeld responds to troops
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AL ASAD AIR BASE, Iraq —The United States may be able to reduce its troop levels in Iraq after the January elections if security improves and Iraqi government forces continue to expand and improve, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday.
with hundreds of Marines assembled in a concrete-line aircraft hangar at this desert air base in western Iraq, Rumsfeld was asked what the future holds for the length and frequency of troop deployments in the country.
In a question-and-answer session
Rumsfeld, on his first visit to Iraq since its interim government was installed in June, said the insurgent violence is likely to get worse in the weeks ahead, so troop reductions are almost
out of the question. The United States now has about 135,000 troops in Iraq
"Our hope is that as we build up Iraqi forces, we will be able to relieve the stress on our forces and see a reduction in coalition forces over some period of time, probably post-Iraqi elections," the Pentagon chief said. "But again, it will depend entirely on the security situation here in this country."

Bush, Kerry roam swing states
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ELYRIA, Ohio — President Bush and Sen. John Kerry, their animosity stirred by a contentious second debate, lit into each other over Iraq, jobs and debate performance on Saturday in critical battleground states. Kerry also criticized the administration for the shortage of flu vaccine.
"We now know the administration knew ahead of time that there wasn't going to be enough vaccine," Kerry asserted as he campaigned in Ohio. The administration has denied it had any warning.
Instant polls did not give either Bush or Kerry a clear edge in Friday's wideranging debate in St. Louis before an audience of uncommitted voters. But Republicans were heartened by what they saw as a steadier, more focused and aggressive performance by the president than in the first debate, where he displayed bouts of impatience and peevishness.
Bush and Kerry ventured into each other's "must win" states. Bush campaigned in Iowa and Minnesota, states won by Democrat Al Gore in 2000. Kerry had stops in Ohio and Florida, states won by Bush in 2000.
"The administration, we've learned today, is playing fast and loose again with the facts and the truth to the American people because they pretended and they've acted surprised that we didn't have the vaccines," Kerry said at a nursing school. "Rather than tell the truth to the American people, they've acted surprised and pretended it just sort of happened on their watch."
Campaigning in northeastern Ohio, Kerry accused the administration of misleading Americans on the flu vaccine shortage.
Kerry did not elaborate, but a story from London in Saturday's editions of The Washington Post quoted British health officials as saying their American counterparts were told in mid-September that problems at a drug manufacturing plant in northwest England could disrupt vaccine supplies to the United States.
A Food and Drug Administration statement disputed the British account, saying "there had been no communication" between the U.S. and British governments on the matter until the British government acted earlier this week.
Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt called Kerry's criticism "basteless and hypocritical. So few companies make flu vaccines because of a broken medical liability system that Kerry falsely claims to want to fix but has voted 10 times against reforming."
Both candidates sharply critiqued the other's debate performance of the night before.
because he saw the latest job numbers." Kerry told about 10,000 people at a rally in this northeastern Ohio community. At another point, Kerry joked that he was "a little worried . . . I thought the president was going to attack (moderator) Charlie Gibson."
"The reason I thought he was making all those scowling faces was
Kerry said the nation's choice "could really not have been more clear than it was last night."
The Democrats' advisers said he plans intense attacks in the coming days over domestic issues, including job losses, rising health care costs, and stem-cell research, in the run-up to Wednesday's concluding debate in Tempe, Ariz.
Bush, speaking to more than 7,000 supporters at a Waterloo, Iowa, baseball field, declared himself the winner of the debate and ridiculed Kerry.
"With a straight face, he said, 'I had only one position on Iraq.' I could barely contain myself. He must think we've been on another planet," Bush said, and contended his opponent "doesn't pass the credibility test."
Bush repeated his attack on Kerry's credibility later at a rally in suburban Minneapolis, with his audience chanting "He can run, but he cannot hide" along with him.
Both sides worked to maximize weekend exposure in hopes of winning the post-debate "spin" battle to portray their respective candidate as emerging as the victor.

Mrs. E's added astabling site before election deadline
Days are dwindling to register to vote in this November's elections.
States such as Missouri, Colorado and Texas have already surpassed their voter registration deadlines.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board will add Mrs.E's to its tabling sites for the final days before the deadline from 5 to 7 p.m.The last day to register is Oct.18. SLAB also will be on Wescoe Beach, the Kansas Union Lobby and in the Student Senate office in the Kansas Union with voter registration forms.
"If they haven't registered somewhere else, they should register in Kansas because most likely their deadline has already passed," said Katie Wolff, legislative director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board.
Wolff, Shawnee senior, said SLAB's effort for this campaign season has already set a new record in registering voters. Though she didn't have a hard number, she said SLAB had registered at least 3,500 voters in Douglas County.
"The state controls more funding for KU than the federal government does," Wolff said. "That's a very good reason to vote in Kansas."

Reality stars highlight MTV event at Flanigan's
Adwords Camouflage and influence on marketing
BY AUSTIN CASTER
acaster@kansan
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Real World alum Tonya Cooley jumped onto the stage next to the DJ booth and yelled at the crowd.
"I'm about to leave this joint!" Cooley screamed, coercing the crowd to get wild.
It took three times to satisfy her, but she got the crowd to scream "Reality Bar Tour."
They were promoting the new season of Battle of the Sexes and helping MTV film a documentary about college students at bars.
Cooley, of The Real World Chicago, and Katie Doyle, of Road Rules season 10, made appearances at Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, 806 West 24th St., Friday and Saturday nights.
Both star in the new season which premieres at 9 p.m. tonight on MTV.
The bar estimated that more than 400 students showed up for the event, said Steve, co-
owner of Flanigan's, who didn't want his last name printed.
He said this weekend was the third time MTV visited because past experiences were so successful.
"The kids here turn out," he said. "The reality shows the hottest thing and it doesn't hurt that they're Playboy Playmates either."
He believed that MTV was filming a natural college environment.
She didn't send in a tape, but was chosen for The Real World because of her life experiences.
"Anytime you turn cameras on, people get more extroverted." Steve said. "But it's a balance between sanity and fun."

Cooley grew up in foster care in Wallawalla, Wash., or "Walla-squared" as she called it.
Cooley and Doyle had different experiences with reality television, but could agree on a few things.
the show get cast," Cooley said. "I had a unique story. They wanted to see me unravel and ravel up again."
Doyle said she didn't have a sad story.
MTV's The Real World cast member Tonya leans in for a kiss with Curt Elsbury, 2018 University of Kansas graduate. Tonya and fellow MTV reality star Katie made appearances Friday and Saturday night to film for a DVD at Jack Flanigan's Bar and Grill, 800 W. 24th St.
Her parents are still together and she thought MTV wanted to see her in an unstable environment.

She said the experience on reality television made her a more humble person.
"Self realization, confidence and, of course, the money."
Both women travel across the country speaking at universities about issues students face such as body image, diversity, interracial living, conflict resolution and anger management.
Doyle said the best thing about her reality fame was the money. Cooley disagreed at first but then changed her mind.
"It makes you a better person because you can look at things you don't like about yourself and know you can change them." Doyle said.
Doyle said she was a confident person before she ever went on the show.
Some students danced close on the dance floor as DJ Andrew Northern spun Petey Pablo's Freak-A-Leak, while others joined Doyle, smoking her Mariboro Light 100s, on the patio to talk.
Coolev said.
Barbara Williams, Topeka
junior, was in attendance, but said she probably wouldn't be chosen for the show.
"I'm really sensible and I don't like to play mind games so they probably wouldn't want me," she said.
Ryan Case, Tyler, Texas, junior, brought a camera and got a picture with Cooley.
"You see a good-looking girl like that you just have to talk
to her." Case said.
Case said Cooley was not "Ms. Famous" but more "down to earth." His conversation gave him an idea about what he'll be buying this holiday season.
"She told me to check her out in Playboy in December," he said.
Debutante ball celebrates National Coming Out Day

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
When Andrew Shirk, Wichita junior, first told people that he was gay he didn't want people to judge him.
"I don't want to be labeled," Shirk said.
But Friday night, Shirk could be comfortable because he was in an accepting crowd.
In celebration of today's National Coming Out Day, KU Queers and Allies sponsored the Coming Out Day Debutante Ball last Friday.
More than 65 tickets were sold for the event and people came from as far away as Hays to meet new people and dance. Members from Networkq, the Women's Activities Group, and queer and straight alliances from Lawrence's high schools were also at the dance. Tom VanHolt, chairman of Networkq, said that it was important to work together. He also gave the Queers and Allies credit for its activism and ideas.
the University has had an organization fighting for equality for the queer community since 1969. David Ta, director of
Queers and Allies, said that dances used to be a regular for the group, but they had died off over the years because of a lack of funding. With the suggestion and help from alumni, and a lot of planning from the executive board the dance was brought back for this year.
Even though the Homecoming game pitted Kansas State against Kansas, Kansas State students joined in
"It's an outlet for KU students but it is open to everyone." Ta said. "It is something where queers and allies can come to and feel comfortable."
the coming out celebration.
"I thought it would be fun to see new people," Damian Head, Kansas State junior, said. "I think the idea of getting the gay community together was a fantastic idea and should be done more often."
Shawna Saubers, Lawrence resident, also agreed that there should be more opportunities like the dance. Saubers heard about the dance at a monthly potluck for the Women's Activities Group.
"It gives KU a chance to bring the community together." Matt Allison, outreach chairman for
Oueers and Allies, said.
Whether you are coming out today or five years from now, it is a celebration of knowing who you are and loving it, Allison said.
Margaret Schrader, Marysville senior, said she was an ally. She said tolerance was something that she understood personally because her uncle is gay. Tolerance still has a long way to go, she said, but she has tried to do all that she could to promote it.
Maureen Warren, social chairwoman for Queers and Allies, said that even though the dance celebrated coming out, the decision to come out about one's sexuality was a difficult choice.
If you risk financial, physical or emotional consequences, don't come out, Warren said. She said some disagreed but a person's health should come first.
Warren said that although it may be uncomfortable being in the closet,it wasn't worth it to lose a job.
"Sometimes the right choice is to not come out," Warren said. "Sometimes you should wait if you're risking serious consequences."

Kansas vs. Missouri a war, not a one-time 'Showdown'
Last Monday, Lew Perkins, Kansas athletic director, and Mike Alden, Missouri athletic director, decided to forever change the infamous Border War to a more politically correct term of Border Showdown. They thought using the word "war" to describe intercollegiate sporting events was too insensitive to the real post 9-11 wars occurring overseas.
Giving respect to their decision this change would be more suitable for other universities that refer to their border rivalries as wars, such as Missouri and Illinois. But here's the truth: the rivalry between Kansas and Missouri began with a real war.
No one should neglect the fact that 150 years ago border ruffans from Missouri ransacked Lawrence — and burned it to the ground.
Alden should know that historical fact. After all, two years ago on Oct. 23, 2002 — one year and 12 days after 9/11 — he, along with former Kansas Athletic Director Al Bohl, announced the official Border War Series, sponsored by Midwest Ford dealers.
and bursaries We have a showdown with Kansas State. We have a war with Missouri.
The trophy will just not read the same. Border Showdown Series
does not accurately represent the fierce rivalry that has lasted since 1891 to become the second oldest in the nation.
Students, faculty and staff, both here and at Missouri, should have the highest respect for the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, but not using the word "war" is a ridiculous way to show that respect. Changing the border war, now, to show respect to the current wars, in turn, shows disrespect to the soldiers who fought and died in wars past.
Why didn't anyone officially change the name during the Vietnam War? A war is a war regardless of the effect it has had on the United States. Will the name change back after the wars have finished? Athletic officials should not change or deny history to have the University acquire a more "politically correct" persona. In 2002, the rest of the country did not condemn our "insensitivity" after the announcement of the official Border War Series.
People around the country are aware of the intense hatred between Kansas and Missouri. A showdown is a one-time encounter. A war could last much longer. Do not change this 113 year-old Border War over a current situation abroad.

As homecoming celebrations took over campus last week, alumni returned to their alma mater to look back and appreciate the time they spent here.
Mix of ages adds to campus life
COMMENTARY
These alumni spent four or more years of their lives at the University, earning a degree and living the college life. They have come back to honor and reminisce about the place that was home to them for a significant time in their lives.

Another ongoing "event" is the phenomenon of the non-traditional student. More specifically, it is the student who returns to school at the undergraduate level after time living outside the university atmosphere. This classification can also apply to married students and those who commute from a distance to the University. Some of these students have lived in the "real world" for longer than the majority of undergrads have been alive.
SARA ZAFAR
opinion@kansan.com
Many of these men and women started out just like most undergraduates. They went directly to the university after graduating high school, and most likely, intended to finish a degree program in the shortest amount of time possible, and move on, either to graduate school, or into the working world.
Often, financial situations force students to stop going to school because they cannot afford tuition, housing, food, and living expenses at the same time. Many of these students work full time to save money, with the intent of
Not everything works out exactly the way it is planned, and different circumstances can cause a student to leave college before they have completed a degree.
For other non-traditional students,returning to college is a choice they make for further enrichment of their lives even if they already completed a degree.
Other situations that cause a student to leave college before graduating are military duties, marriage and parenthood, the decision to follow a spouse or significant other who must move away, or simply being unable to handle the stress and pressures of college.
Whatever the reason, students leave college with partially finished undergraduate degrees lingering over them.
For others however, the call to return to school and earn their degrees is so compelling that they return, even after decades of never setting foot in a college classroom.
For some, the need to complete that degree is not important; they are settled in their lifestyles, content, and making a living.
lege classroom For other non-traditional students returning to college is a choice they make for further enrichment of their lives, even if they already completed a degree. They re-enter the college atmosphere to pursue a subject that always interested them, and now they have the time and resources to fully enjoy what the university has to offer.
More and more commonly, undergraduate classrooms are morphing from the groups of 18-22 year old students, fresh out of high school, to a more mixed group of men and women of all ages, including people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and older. This mixed demographic provides a new range of ideas and perspectives that allow a broader understanding of a topic.
All people stand to gain from the perspective and opinions of someone who has lived longer than they have. Ordinarily, different age groups would not interact with each other on such a level, discussing philosophy, literature, history, even science and mathematics
The newer face of today's typical undergraduate classroom provides the perfect atmosphere for such interaction, and students of all ages should appreciate and embrace this opportunity.

Dear editors,
Religious beliefs don't always align with political parties
I'm writing regarding Andy Hyland's article "Different religious beliefs alter voting" in the Oct. 8 Kansan.
Kansen.
While I agree that religious views definitely play a role in politics, I disagree with the commonly held view that those who are religiously dedicated and active must vote Conservative. I am a very dedicated Christian, yet I plan to vote for John Kerry in the upcoming election. In fact, I align myself with the Libertarian party.
myself with the diocesan party It seems that the correlation between Conservative and Christianity is more of a tradition than a well thought out relationship between the values of a religion and a political party. One of the basic tenets of the Christian religion is free will. The religion is based on a personal relationship with God.
Throughout the Bible, the point is stressed that an individual must choose to follow God. To force others to hold the same values and beliefs is a mistake. My Christian beliefs are the
Making a judgment for another person directly contradicts Christianity's belief that only God may judge. I only hope that religious students will look at their candidates and evaluate them against what they believe, not merely follow the traditional voting choices of members of their religion. After all, most religious figures and leaders were absolutely radical for their time.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR reason that I am Libertarian. While economic considerations and foreign policy affect my choices, it is my belief that morality should not be legislated that determines many of my political choices. In the words of Peter McWilliams, "Consenting adults should not be put in jail unless they physically harm the person or property of a nonconsenting other."

Homeless services provide answers,don'tcause problem
Dear editors,
Arrah Nielsen's opinion column in the Sept. 30 'Kansan' saddened me.
Humane services for the homeless do not create the homeless people. The mylad of services in San Francisco and surrounding areas created by people of good will for the homeless did not cause the dearth of housing for the working poor.
I have a mentally ill son. When he was homeless and mentally ill it meant he did not have a roof over his head and a door that he could lock for safety nor a bed to lay upon nor cooking or bathroom facilities. Now that he has housing he has安全, security, water for cleanliness and cooking, warmth and an address. He is still mentally ill.
Criminalizing being poor and homeless only causes more grief. IF affordable housing, health care, drug treatment and a livable wage were available there would be no homeless problem.

"You can't get more traditional than a homecoming parade," Dunlap said. "It's something every town can relate with."
The parade today remains a symbolic part of the University's homecoming, Dunlap said.

FLOCK: Students sink uprights for second time in two years
Jimmy Gallan, Dallas sophomore, said he was in a group that was on the field with two minutes left on the clock.
"I was on the field before the game even ended," Gallivan said.
At least 10,000 fans sat on the hill to watch the game. More stood along the fence on the south end of the field. When the clock ran out, there was no stopping those fans from getting into the action on the field.
As the students flooded out of the student section, more fans came from the stands on west side of the stadium. Fans who were sitting on the hill pushed their way through the gates and onto the track. The ones who couldn't get through the crowds climbed the over the 12-foot fence surrounding the stadium. After one fan got hurt, they released the fence from the ground and climbed under it onto the field.
After the goal posts came down, students carried them up the hill to Potter Lake to join the posts from last year's victory over Missouri.
Some students said they didn't help carry the goal post down, but went to Potter Lake to celebrate.
Tyler Kye helped carry the south goal post out of the stadium.
"It it awesome, it just fell down and we grabbed a part of it and carried it." Kye said.
"I went last year after the Mizzou game," Mary Ann Mohr said. "It is crazy up there. People are pushing their way through and everyone is jumping into the lake."
Saturday's attendance marked the first sell-out crowd of the season at Memorial Stadium. It was the largest attendance in two years. The crowd had a huge impact on the game because there were several times that the K-State players couldn't hear the quarterback.
"All of our fans did a great job.
It made them call a lot of time-outs and that was pretty much clutch at the end."

Coach Mark Mangino also acknowledged the crowd's impact.
hipster.
"How about that student section," Mangino said. "The fans helped us tonight, they really did."
Saturday's come-from-behind victory was just the spark that Kansas fans needed.
"Every game should be like this," Brenden Moretz, Chicago freshman, said. "If we have another winning season, football games will be this much fun all of the time."
Mangino said he hoped the Jayhawks' victory would make the series between the Jayhawks and the Wildcats more interesting.
"Maybe now this can be a game that people in the state of Kansas can be proud of," Mangino said.
Kansas fans were proud on Saturday night. Fans of all ages hung around to talk to the players after their victory.
Children jumped on junior linebacker Kevin Kane's shoulders. Players threw their wristbands into the crowd. Hyped-up students ran up to the lake.
Some of those students must have been barefoot. Long after the stadium had cleared out, at least 20 shoes remained in the pile in the south end zone.

tickets.
"Everyone who purchased and picked up their tickets will have a seat" Marchiony told the Kansas on August 28.
Karlson on August 15 He said they think that will still be the case, but they are alerting students as a precautionary measure.
"So many more students bought them than ever before," Marchiony said.
"For most games we know this will not be an issue, but we are just making sure that we let people know that for maybe one or two games it will be something we have to deal with." he said.
Marchiony said this was more of an FYI for students.
"We have allocated 4,000 student seats in Allen Fieldhouse," he said. "Only once in the last decade has student attendance surpassed that number."
In the past two years, the maximum student attendance at a home game was 3,850, but average student attendance was about 2,000, according to the agreement issued by the athletics department and Student Senate.
The athletics department is offering students the opportunity to request their money back for the basketball portion of their all-sports combo. Marchiony said that comes out to about $95. All requests must be submitted to the KU Athletic Ticket Office by Oct. 29.
He said that if they have to use the lottery, it would most likely be for the Jan. 24-25 pick-up period. That's when tickets for the Missouri and Texas games are scheduled for distribution.
The lotteries will be held at the end of the pick-up period. The winning students will be contacted by e-mail. They can pick up their tickets until 5 p.m. on the Thursday after distribution.

At least four of K-State's six time-outs could be partially attributed to the crowd's noise.
"The crowd did cause confusion on the line," said K-State junior running back Darren Sproles. "You couldn't really hear anything."
Kansas used this to its advantage, and the Wildcats had no time-outs left to take when the Jayhawks ran the clock down on their final possession after recovering the K-State onside kick attempt. The three-point victory was Kansas' first over K-State in its last 12 tries.
"It's unreal." said senior kicker Johnny Beck. "It was the greatest game I've ever seen here. The fans were great; I think that played the biggest role in the game."
After the game, fans, players
and coaches all took a couple minutes to take in the atmosphere of Memorial Stadium. Junior linebacker Nick Reid even spent 10 to 20 minutes signing autographs for fans young and old. Randle said the victory was an important success for the players.
"It means a lot to us, especially some of the older guys," Randle said.
Beck summed up the feelings of many of the Kansas players who had watched Kansas State come out and dismantle the Jayhawks for many years.
"This is my last game against KState." Beck said. "There's no better way to go out than to feel like you contributed to the game."
As for Mangino, who makes an extra $5,000 from this game, he was looking forward to a quiet night with his family.

The official attendance of 50,152 is the biggest Kansas home crowd since 50,750 watched Nebraska beat Kansas Nov. 3, 2001.
Barmann played the first three quarters before being pulled in favor of Swanson. Barmann went 10-20 with two touchdowns, while Swanson went 4-7 with one touchdown. Neither threw an interception.
In one defensive series, Kansas lost both sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon and junior cornerback The Baines to injury.
Though Gordon was able to return within a few minutes, Baines stayed out for the remainder of the game. After the game, however, Mangino indicated he didn't think Baines injury was too serious.
Gordon pulled down his third interception in two games during the first half of Saturday's game.
the first nail on the wall.
Both goal posts came down quickly after Kansas' victory. Even before the last second ticked off the clock, fans were streaming over the fences and out of the stands to get to the field. Kansas' PA. announcer warned fans not to rush the field until after time had expired.
Saturday's victory in the Sunflower Showdown gives Kansas a 62-35-5 edge over Kansas State in the series. Kansas has never lost in the series when scoring more than 23 points.

QUESTION: Quarterback spot up for grabs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14A
Whether Swanson will start in the games ahead will not be known until Mangino has plenty of time to study tapes of the game and watch the two quarterbacks practice.
What is known, though, is that Barmann's job doesn't seem as safe as it was before.
For the first half of the season, it seemed like this year's position up for grabs would be the kicking spot.
First it was senior Johnny Beck.
Then, he was sharing with freshman Scott Webb.
"A t that point, it was a 7-6 game,and I
just had to go out there. It's a 27-yard chip shot, and you can't get caught up in the emotions."

the field goal and kickoff duties, while Webb kicks extra points.
When it came time to kick the field goal, Webb went onto the field, only to be called back by the coaching staff.
Beck trotted onto the field and kicked it between the uprights.
"At that point, it was a 7-6 game, and I just had to go out there," Beck said. "It's a 27-yard chip shot, and you can't get caught up in the emotions."
After the game, Beck said he was excited to get the opportunity to put points on the board for the team.
"I think he's going to go with who's hot," Beck said. "I'm glad he went with me."

After last year's victory over Missouri, and subsequent goal post tear-down, officials installed quick-release bolts at the base of each post.

They showed up with their game face on. I think we must have sold every student ticket we had. Our fans were awesome.

Jayhawks, fans reinvigorated after Kansas' victory
It was two weeks ago, after the Kansas football team lost its 31-30 heartbreaker to Texas Tech at home, that I heard it for the first time this year.
"All right, when does basketball season start again?"
It was just some random guy I'd never I overheard say it at a bar, and then after the 14-8 loss to Nebraska last week, I heard it even more. Usually, from my experience during my first three years at Kansas, this was something you typically heard after the second game of the season.
Be honest, most casual jayhawk gridiron followers gave up on the 2004 season after what happened in Lincoln a week ago. But now, everyone's back on the bandwagon, and with good reason.
Saturday's 31-28 defeat of Kansas State, the first time the KU football team has done so since 1992, meant lots of things.
Let's lay this out.
For one, it was the landmark victory of Mark Mangino's brief tenure. But most importantly, it salvaged the 2004 season, and has brought the thoughts of a possible bowl berth back to the rear portions of our minds as a possibility. Let's lay this out
JEAN SHORT MADNESS
The Jayhawks are 3-3, with five games remaining. They need just three more wins to qualify for a bowl game. With the nation's second-hardest schedule, as long as they hit that magic number, they're pretty much golden, no matter who it is that they beat.
JEAN SHORT MADNESS
RYAN GREENE
rgreene@kansan.com
With the way it looks right now, Iowa State, even though it's on the road, should be a win. Colorado, who at 3-2 is beginning to flounder offensively, at home is another very winnable game. The Oklahoma game is more than likely a loss, but it could be a closer game than most anticipate. Between Texas, who showed how overrated it really was this weekend, and
If Kansas had lost to Kansas State, again, the season would have been lost. A deflated team would have traveled to Norman in two weeks, taken a pounding and been left for dead at 2-5. But as it is now, there should be more excitement for the Kansas football season than there was when it kicked off against Tulsa.
Missouri, there should be one more win in there.
The rest of the schedule is filled with four reasonably winnable games and enough leeway for two more losses.
The Jayhawk defense has proven so far that it can handle big-time backs. Take Heisman flop Darren Sproles being held in check Saturday as a prime
example. that experience could be huge in the coming weeks when Kansas will have to face Oklahoma's superhuman freshman Adrian Peterson and Texas' sole offensive threat, Cedric Benson.
The other result that came from Saturday's mayhem is that Kansas may have finally taken "the step."
To steal from my boy Vince Vaughn in *Swingers*, they moved from PG-13 status to being an R-rated team.
It was the Jayhawks' inexperience in big-game and high-pressured situations that resulted in their previous three losses. There was the blitzkrieg drive put together in the fourth quarter by Northwestern, the long touchdown gallop by Texas Tech's Taurian Henderson on third and six, and the time after time failure to score late against Nebraska.
When Dylan Meier came in at quarterback for K-State and put his team up 21-17, I thought that after what I'd seen the previous few weeks, it was a done deal, and Kansas was as good as 2-4. But the Jayhawks stepped it up a notch and clamped down late in the game. Pardon my French, but they had balls of steel.
If the Jayhawks can keep that edge, there's more than a good chance they'll still be playing come Christmas.

Kansas to have games televised in 2004-2005
A new television package will make the Kansas women's basketball team one of the most televised programs in the country.
"This television package is among the best in the country," said Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson. "We're excited that our fans will be able to follow us so closely throughout the season."
Four national telecasts will highlight the 18-game telecast package.
Fox Sports Net will air the Jayhawks' home game against Nebraska on Feb. 20 and their road game at Kansas State on Feb. 26.
College Sports Television
(CSTV) will air the KU-KSU contest in Lawrence on Jan. 8. CSTV will also shown the KU- Texas game on Jan. 5.
KU will play UMKC at home at 1 p.m. on the Jayhawk Television Network.
Metro Sports, based in Kansas City, will broadcast four games throughout the season. Sunflower Broadband Channel 6 in Lawrence will also broadcast the four Metro Sports games, as well as nine other home games.

NFL
Broncos' persistence helps defeat NFC champs
DENVER — Rumblin', bum-
blin'，stumblin'，Julius Peppers looked up and saw nothing but 104 yards of Mile High air between himself and the end zone.
He only made it 101.
That pretty much defined the day for the Carolina Panthers, who came up just short Sunday, falling 20-17 to the Denver Broncos on a wild day filled with lots of strange and unexpected performances from lots of strange and unexpected places.
Lelie's touchdown — caught
Reuben Droughtns ran for 193 yards for Denver (4-1) and Jake Plummer made up for his fourth-and-goal interception to Peppers by throwing a pretty, 39-yard touchdown pass to Ashley Lelie for the winning points.
over the shoulder in the corner of the end zone, then upheld after Carolina asked for a review — was one of the few things that went to script on an otherwise crazy day.
Despite the loss, Peppers will surely get a game ball — maybe a bottle of oxygen, too
maybe a bottle of oxygen, too — for his 101-yard trek that goes down as the longest interception return in NFL history to not result in a touchdown.
Sure not to get a game ball for Carolina (1-3) is Matt Willig, who got called for unsportsmanlike conduct when he picked up a flag and chucked it downfield after the Panthers were called for false start before a tying field-goal attempt with 6:42 left.

'Kansan' falters in 7-5 performance
What a weekend for college football.
The fact that Kansas beat Kansas State is enough to lessen the blow I should be feeling after a week when I went 7-5. That's absolutely terrible. Honestly though, two of my losses were by just the tiniest of margins, and three were by less than a touchdown.
I think the problem with this week's games was that I looked too much at how the two teams have fared this season, and not enough at their head-to-head records over years past.
The closest losses I suffered this week were University of Texas-EI Paso over Fresno State and Michigan over Minnesota.
Who could have predicted that Fresno State, which beat K-State handily, and Minnesota, which handily beat all of its first
opponents would fall to that competition?
Fresno State is one of those teams that went from media darling to nothing in the blink of an eye.
After a screaming start that included the win over K-State, pundits and analysts from ESPN to The Kansas City Star were all predicting that the Bulldogs could make a run at a Bowl Championship Series game. My, what two weeks will do for a team.
KICK THE KANSAN
I suppose Minnesota falling to Michigan should not have surprised me too much. I mean, it's the Wolverines, and they're capable of beating anyone on any given Saturday — not to mention, the game was played in Ann Arbor. Mich.
ACK THE YOUNG
JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
But if I should have given more credit to the Michigan game, I should have given less emphasis to a game being played
in Columbus, Ohio.
When I pegged Ohio State over Wisconsin, I based my decision almost exclusively on OSU having home field advantage.
Ohio State, however, is completely rebuilding its team this year and is going to struggle with every major opponent in the Big Ten Conference.
Big picks for me this week included the KU-KSU game, which some 40 of you also picked, as well as picking Texas Tech over Nebraska.
The Red Raiders slaughtered Nebraska, 70-10.
If you were to look at how close Kansas played both of those teams, you can't help but wonder what might have been for the Jayhawks.
Highlighting those contests will be Missouri at Texas and Texas A&M at Oklahoma State.
In the week ahead, there's a pretty good slate of games, which includes all five of the Big 12 games.
This week, just one person recorded a 10-2 record, overall. Abbey Sorem selected Texas to beat Oklahoma and also got fooled by Fresno State versus UTEP.
Kansas State will have to try and recover from this week's loss with a visit from Oklahoma.

Volleyball has rocky showing in Colorado

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The Kansas volleyball team which dropped out of the USA Today/CSTV Top 25 poll a week ago, has now lost five straight matches. It lost to Colorado Saturday, 3-0.
The -loss dropped the Jayhawks' Big 12 Conference record to 1-6.
"This is not a good position for us to be in, but we have to keep fighting," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
He said he thought the NCAA selection committee would go deep into the Big 12 when choosing teams for December's championship tournament. But the Jayhawks, currently ranked 10th in the conference, will probably have to move up three or four places before the end of the regular season on Nov. 27.
On Saturday, poor passing led to poor offense, as the Jayhawks' hitting percentage — the difference between kills and errors, divided by total attempts — was a dismal .114. Bechard said he wanted the team to hit about .270 in every match.
In the first game, Kansas hit

.244, but that number declined rapidly.
The Jayhawks hit .083 in the second set and .000 in the final game. The Jayhawks lost the games 30-23, 30-22, 30-21
LIMA
The offense had no rhythm, Bechard said.
But Kansas' main problem was finding a way to defend Colorado's attacks. Three Colorado front line players hit better than .420, including .733 by middle blocker Lara Bossow. She had no errors on the night.
"Colorado played like a great team tonight." Bechard said.
Freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown led the Jayhawks with nine kills but also had a team-leading eight attack errors. Senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels had seven kills, and junior middle blocker Josi Lima added a personal season-low six kills.
Senior libero Jill Dorsey had a personal season-law nine digs, but led the team in that category.
Kansas was unable to build

Soccer continues to roll in Big 12
The University of Kansas football team wasn't the only program to record victory over its rival this weekend. The Kansas women's soccer team won at Missouri 3-1.
Senior midfielder Amy Geha scored a goal and had an assist, helping the No. 10 Jayhawks win the first game of the 2004 Border Showdown at the Audrey J. Walton Soccer Complex in Columbia, Mo., on Friday.
It was the fourth win in a row for the Jayhawks, who now sit at 12-2 on the season and 4-1 in conference play.
Kansas got on the board first in the 14th minute when Geha scored her second goal of the season. Missouri tried to clear the ball away from their own goal following a KU corner kick, but Geha intercepted the ball and fired a line drive that made it past Tiger goalie Laura Buehrig giving Kansas a 1-0 lead.
"We were happy to get the win because Missouri is a good team," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "We created a lot of chances, but we missed a lot of chances to bury them."
The Tigers helped the Jayhawks score their next goal. Just before halftime, junior forward Nicole Braman drove in on the left side of the net and sent a shot wide of the net, only to

PABLO MAYORAL
In the first half, Kansas managed to get off only five shots, compared to Missouri's six. But Kansas
capitalized on its chances, and with senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller turning in another solid performance, the Jayhawks held a 2-0 lead at halftime.
Miller made eight saves in the game, but Missouri spoiled her chances for a shutout in the 82nd minute, when Jennifer Nobis scored her sixth goal of the season.
With Missouri back to within one goal of tying the game, junior forward Kim Karfonta sealed the victory for Kansas. In the 89th minute she took a pass from Geha and headed the ball past Buehrig, pushing the KU lead to 3-1.
"Overall, it was a good team effort in a tough place to play," Francis said.
With the loss Missouri dropped to 5-7-1 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12, while Kansas waits to see if it moved up in the rankings.
The soccer team will be back in action next weekend when they travel to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, starting on Friday.

"The end off the race was pretty neat," said Rudd, who drove onto the apron and nearly spun out on the late restart before breaking out of the pack to chase down Nemechek.
"I got hung up in traffic and Joe had a half-a-straightaway lead on us," Rudd added. "I caught him somehow and I got
to his door, but my car was slipping and I had to ease off so I didn't take us both out. Joe and I, neither one, needed that type of ending to a great day for both of us."
Rudd raced to only his second top-10 finish of the year, both coming since being reunited with crew chief Michael "Fatback" McSwain in August.
Nemechek was among a group of 10 drivers who stayed
on track when cars ahead of them pitted during a caution period late in the race, moving from 14th to fourth.
Biffle and Jeremy Mayfield, who were 1-2 at the time, were among the leaders who did pit.
"I was getting really, really good gas mileage and we elected to stay out when those other guys pitted for a splash of gas," Nemechek said. "It worked out just perfect for us."

Quarterback: Question is who's starting
GORDON
3
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing at kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
It cannot really be a season of Kansas football without a little controversy over which players will start.
Saturday night, it seemed like the question of who would kick the field goals was laid to rest.
but a question seemed to be raised as to who would be the quarterback.
Going into spring ball, junior college transfer Jason Swanson was expected to challenge sophomore Adam Barmann for the starting quarterback role.
SWANSON
That competition never emerged, and Barmann seemed to be firmly in control of the starting job.
Swanson's only Division I game experience came against Northwestern earlier this season, when Barmann was briefly sidelined with an injury.
On Saturday, with Kansas' offense having gone cold and K-State challenging, Mangino felt as though something had to be done.
"I kind of realized it just before the half," Mangino said. "I told our offensive staff, if he doesn't hit some kind of rhythm, we're going to go with I Jason."
Mangino's decision appeared questionable early, as Swanson committed a costly turnover with a fumble on third down.
On his next series, though, he led the team on a 68-yard score drive, capping it with 31-yard strike to junior wide receiver Mark Simmons.
"We needed a little spark, and he's just feisty enough to give it to us." Mangino said.
From Swanson's position, the fact that he ended up in the game was not all that surprising.
"Coach Q [Quartaro] came up to me at half time and told me to stay loose, but he tells me that every half time," Swanson said. "I didn't think anything of it."
Swanson said that with all of the repetitions he got in practice and the experience he got on the sidelines during the game, he was prepared to go in at a moment's notice.
"I got the opportunity, and I was just hoping I made the best of my opportunity," Swanson said.

Mark Simmons and Charles Gordon celebrate in Kansas' endzone in the fourth quarter on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. "It was a perfect throw and one of the finest catches I've seen in a long time. Mark Simmons just stayed focused and didn't get distracted because he was covered very well. The throw was executed perfectly," Mark Mangino said.
Simmons seals victory with sweet catch
BY RYAN COLAIanni

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas Jayhawks blew a lead for the fourth straight game and appeared to be on the ropes as they trailed Kansas State 21-17 with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. But with one throw, the Jayhawks were able to defeat their in-state rivals for the first time since 1992.
A. M. C. B.
SIMMONS
Junior quarterback Jason Swanson entered the game in the fourth quarter, replacing starter Adam Barmann. Swanson threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mark Simmons with 5:28 to go in the fourth and gave Kansas a 24-21 lead.
Simmons made the grab one-handed because he was closely covered by K-State cornerback
"It was a perfect throw and one of the finest catches I've seen in a long time," coach Mark Mangino said. "Mark Simmons just stayed focused and didn't get distracted because he was covered very well. The throw was executed perfectly."
Simmons was the team's leading yardage receiver, catching four balls for 58 yards. Simmons was quick to say that this was not the best catch of his career.
"It's maybe in the top five, it's not my best, I've done it in practice before, so it should come naturally," Simmons said. "If you can do it in practice you should do it in the game."
Simmons was Swanson's first option on the play, and the only option the quarterback considered.
"Mark (Simmons) gave the defender a really good move off the line and I knew they were coming with some sort of blitz," Swanson said. "So I just threw it out there hoping he would come down with a great play and he did."
Simmons was unable to get his other arm up on the catch because of the close coverage from the All-America candidate Williams.
"He made a good catch with one hand. I was in a good spot — it was just one of those time when the ball fell into the right place." Williams said.
When Swanson threw the ball he felt that Simmons had a chance to catch it.
"When I threw it I saw the trajectory," Swanson said. "I thought he had a chance, I knew I put it out there far enough." Swanson said.
So far this season, Simmons has 24 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns.

Jayhawks tame Wildcats in last quarter
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
It took 11 long years, but the Kansas football team has once again beaten instate rival Kansas State.
All season, the Jayhawks have built leads only to lose them in the second half. Kansas has outscored its opponents 51-5 in the first quarter, but its opponents hold a 51-49 lead in the second half.
The Jayhawks rode sophomore running back John Randle all the way to a 31-28 victory over the visiting Wildcats
Randle led the team in rushing with 105 yards and was second in receiving with 51. He also had two touchdowns — one receiving and one rushing
"I'm proud of our kids," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino, a former assistant at Kansas State. "They did a terrific job. They stayed in there and fought."
Randle's touchdown catch came off of a hook-and-ladder play that Mangino cooked up in practice last week. After drawing it on the boards for his players, Mangino made them practice it extensively.
"They got my blood pressure up on the practice fields," Mangino said. "But I was determined to put it on the field."
Randle's other score came on a 43- yard run late in the fourth quarter. Nervous Kansas fans waited for the final minutes to tick off the clock, as the Jayhawks held onto a three-point lead. Randle took a pitch from junior backup quarterback Jason Swanson and tore off for the goal line.
Contributing to the touchdown run were downfield blocks and an improved offensive line, which opened holes at the line of scrimmage.
The play looked like a typical slant pass from sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann to senior wide receiver Brandon Rideau. Instead of cutting up the field, Rideau paused, turned and flipped it back to Randle. Randle then slashed 24 vards to the end zone.
After breaking four tackles, Randle dove for the end zone for the touchdown with just 3:16 left on the clock.
In addition to allowing both Barmann and Swanson time to pass, the line opened enough holes for Randle and the rest of the backs to fight through.
"The line's blocking was magnificent tonight." Randle said. "They did a great job and opened the holes all night."
Kansas' other major offensive contributor was junior receiver Mark Simmons. Simmons led the team with 58 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Simmons would have been unable to record those 58 yards without an acrobatic, one-handed touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. That score re-established Kansas' lead and proved to be the turning point in the game.
The 'Hawks faced third and seven from the Kansas State 31-yard line. Swanson lofted up an arching pass toward the end-zone that landed in Simmons' outstretched hand. The catch impressed many in the stadium, including the K-State cornerback that Simmons beat for the touchdown.
"He made a good catch with one hand," said Kansas State cornerback Cedrick Williams. "I was in a good spot; it was just one of those times when the ball fell into the right place."
Throughout the game, K-State faced a huge problem with communication.

Men's store selling out
Clothes go quickly as Easton's Ltd. owner closes doors to business
BY STEPHANIE FAIRLE
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
"Going Out of Business" signs covered the walls, and yet Greg Easter was upbeat as he welcomed customers into the store with a smile. Throughout the morning, he managed the constant flow of people coming out of the dressing rooms with pants and jackets needing to be tailored.
After 15 years of business in Lawrence, Easton's Ltd., 839 Massachusetts St., is going out of business. Easter, store owner, said 2000 was the store's best year, then sales began
declining in 2001 and 2002 and leveled off in 2003. The store started to show signs of improvement, but it just wasn't enough to justify five more years on a lease.
People aren't dressing up for work anymore, so the income that people were spending on clothes for work has become disposable and they're spending their money on other products and getting by with what they have as far as dress clothing goes. Easter said.
"Men kind of find as many excuses as possible not to buy clothing, because they don't like to shop anyway." Easter said.
Easter's father opened Easton's on
Oct. 15, 1989. Easter bought his father out of the business in 1998 and has been running the store ever since. The sale has exceeded expectations, Easter said. New customers and old have been coming into the store for the sale, Easter said. It's been a kind of "sweet sorrow" for a lot of the customers because they're happy for me, but they're sad to see the store go, Easter said.
Easter said he knew inside when it was time to call it quits. It doesn't seem like it was a hard decision to close now, but this has been going on for about three years from thinking about how to increase sales to thinking about
closing the store, Easter said.
"There's always up and downs, but right now I'm excited about the future," Easter said.
Easter said he looked forward to spending more time with his kids. He's going to miss seeing the people that he regularly saw at the store, but he's still going to be doing business down the street, he said.
Easter is moving the denim jeans line that Easton's currently carries to his wife's store, Ginger & Maryanne, 914 Massachusetts St., which carries women's clothing.

Lawrence police are looking for suspects after a 22-year-old KU student reported she was raped.
According to police reports, the student was attacked from behind, pushed down and a man penetrated her with his fingers
The student told police the attack happened between 1:30 to 2:30 Sunday morning in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street.
The male was reportedly in his 20s with short blond hair and approximately 5" 11" with a muscular build, Sgt Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said.

The woman left Quinton's Bar and Deli www.lawrenceks.org
615 Massachusetts St., and was walking south on Tennessee Street with friends. Ward said.
She continued to walk south on Tennessee Street, according to the report.
She was separated from her friends when they left to attend a party on Ninth Street, Ward said.
The student reported she was on the sidewalk when she was attacked.
Ward said the woman kicked, punched and bit the man and was able to get away.
She sustained minor injuries from being thrown to the ground.
Ward said the woman went to Lawrence Memorial Hospital to complete a rape test that morning.
This was the second KU student who reported a rape this month. An 18-year-old KU student reported a rape in McCollum Hall Sept, 24.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office, said they were preparing to send the case to Douglas County district attorney Christine Kenney for review.
Ward said it was important that students not walk alone at night.

Kevin Kesterson, Overland Park sophomore, sits at Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St. Kesterson has been running into problems with his neighbors on the city's housing ordinance.
BY HALEY HARRISON

SPECIAL TO THE KANANE
Arly Allen examined the beer bottles, cigarette butts and the red Budweiser trash can and shook his head. Allen, a Centennial neighborhood resident, recalls the history of the home and the family that used to live in it.
"Students are into wild, raucous living." Allen said, "When they live next to an elderly couple, it's a clash of cultures."
In the late '90s, when the crowds, year-round Christmas lights and beer can littered lawns became too much, Allen and others took the issue to the city council. On Aug. 1, 2004, a new section of a city ordinance — ordinance No. 7526 was implemented that stated no more than three unrelated persons could live in a single family dwellings, like the homes in Centennial neighborhood.
Allen, who has lived in his neighborhood for 30 years, is fighting to keep his neighborhood clean and family friendly.
When a complaint is filed with the city, one of the city's two inspectors evaluates the property in question, Torres said. If homes are in violation of the ordinance, inspectors notify the owners. Residents are given a warning telling them to move out. If violators fail to leave, the city prosecutor will take the case before a judge.
The Centennial neighborhood, located between 19th and 23rd streets and Naismith Drive and Massachusetts Street, had an increase in the number of students living there.

Kevin Kesterson, Centennial neighborhood resident and Overland Park sophomore, said an angry neighbor approached him and his roommates about more than three people living in the home and the parties they had thrown. On Sept. 29, an inspector has visited Kesterson's residence at 2006 Mitchell St.
"I mean everyone around here is a student, it's just silly to try to enforce this." Kesterson said.

Saudi female voting barred
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Women may neither vote nor run in Saudi Arabia's first nationwide elections, the government announced yesterday, dashing hopes of progressive Saudis and easing fears among conservatives that the kingdom is moving too fast on reforms.
Some women considered the move yet another indignity in a country where they need their husbands' permission to study, travel or work.
But others said they wouldn't trust themselves to judge whether a candidate is more than just a handsome face.
"I don't think that women's participation is possible."
The religious establishment had been lobbying against women's participation in the elections, diplomats said.
But an electoral official cited administrative and logistical reasons yesterday for the decision to ban women from the municipal elections, scheduled to be
Interior Minister
Prince Nayef
held in three stages from Feb. 10 to April 21.
The decision was first announced by Interior Minister Prince Nayef in an interview published yesterday. In his terse comment to a Kuwaiti newspaper, Nayef said only: "I don't think that women's participation is possible."
His remark was the first by a named top official on the issue.
It settled a question that had been occupying Saudis since the government set the date for the elections in August. When the election law was published, it did not explicitly bar women from voting, which encouraged three women to
declare themselves candidates.
"I am surprised," said Nadia Bakhurji, 37, the first woman to announce she planned to run. "I was optimistic and didn't think they would ban it."
Bakhurji said she hoped Nayef and the elections committee would "rethink their decision" and show transparency by saying why women have been banned.
She said that would give women the chance to "work hand-in-hand with them to solve these problems in time for elections," said Bakhurji, an architect and a mother of two.
Saudi Arabia's only electoral experiences were some municipal polls held in a few cities in the 1960s.
They did not cover the whole country, and their electoral rules and registration procedures did not conform to international standards. Women did not vote.
'Superman' Reeve dies at age 52
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOUNT KISCO, N.Y.
Christopher Reeve, the chiseled, strapping "Superman" of celluloid who became another kind of hero as a force for spinal cord research after a devastating horse-riding accident, has died at 52. Reeve, a quadriplegic for the last nine years of his life who vowed that he would one day walk again, died Sunday of complications from an infection caused by a bedsore.
His wife, actress Dana Reeve, issued a statement thanking "the millions of fans from around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years."

for people worldwide. I have lost a great friend," said actor and comedian Robin Williams.
He used his Hollywood fame to win attention and funding for scientific study of disabilities like his and to lobby for looser restrictions on stem-cell research.
Reeve suddenly became the face of spinal cord injury after his May 1995 riding accident.
"I consider myself a spokesman for people who can't call the president or a senator or testify by Congress," Reeve said in a 1998 interview with The Associated Press.
Reeve, born in New York City in 1952, landed a part on the soap opera Love of Life in 1974. His first Broadway role was as Katharine Hepburn's grandson in A Matter of Gravity, and his first movie role was in the 1978 submarine movie Gray Lady Down.
"I felt the best opportunities of my career still lay ahead." Reeve wrote.
But then came the accident in Culpeper, Va.
Then came Superman, fame and wealth.
Besides his wife, Reeve is survived by their son, Will, 12; two children from a relationship with Gae Exton, Matthew, 25, and Alexandra, 21; his mother; his father, Franklin Reeve; and a brother, Benjamin Reeve.

KANSAI STARP WRITER
The impact of the cuts in higher education funding on Kansas colleges will be discussed tomorrow afternoon.
The Citizens for Higher Education, Inc. will be making a free public presentation tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union
KU students, faculty and staff and the public are invited to attend the presentation.
Although the speakers haven't been announced, Kevin Boatright, associate executive vice chancellor for external affairs, said the primary speaker of the presentation will most likely be chairman of the Hall Family Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., Bill Hall.
The Citizens for Higher Education is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization formed in late 2002 dedicated to increasing the awareness of the effects of cuts in higher education funding.
Hall has been a driving force behind the formation of the Citizens for Higher Education, Boatright said. Bill Taylor, the chairman of Citizens for Higher Education, will most likely assist Hall with the presentation, Boatright said.
The main thrust of the presentation will be the organization's study of the economic impact of higher education on the state of Kansas, he said, but the future of the Kansas economy and the impact of higher education on it will also be discussed.
Student Senate has worked alongside KU administrators, faculty and staff to combat higher education funding cuts, which it thinks hinders the availability of a quality education.
"Student Senate opposes these cuts as basically one of
TALKING POINTS
Some recent findings from the Citizens for Higher Education research:
Kansas ranks in the Top 10 of states for sending its young people to colleges, but the University of Kansas ranks at the bottom of the Big 12 in terms of funding.
State funding for higher education, adjusted for inflation, has dropped every year since 1990, while enrollment today is higher than ever.
Public support for Kansas higher education has fallen below national averages and the Big 12 states since 1990.
Average salaries for professors in the state are at the bottom of the Big 12.
State appropriations per student at the University of Kansas and Kansas State University are lower than any other Big 12 university.
State revenues and appropriates were less for regional universities and community colleges than at similar institutions in the Big 12.

"Student Senate opposes
these cuts as basically one of the worst things the state could do."
Arthur Jones
StudEx Committee chairman
the worst things the state could do," said Arthur Jones, Dallas junior and StudEx Committee chairman. "We think it's wrong for the state to make education much less affordable for students."
State General Fund Expenditures, tax dollars allotted by the state to universities, per full-time student at the University dropped dramatically from $7,311 in fiscal year 1985 to $5,591 in fiscal year 2004.
In his faculty and staff convocation address, Chancellor Robert Hemenway presented what he said was the lack of state investment in higher education funding.
Chris Miller/KANSAN
Faculty members' salaries have also taken a hit. According to the 2004 edition of "University of Kansas Profiles," the weighted average salary for the University's 954 faculty members, which includes professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors., is $70,732 this year, or about 90.8 percent of the University's peer institutions.
The University ranks seventh out of 12 among Big 12 Conference universities in terms of weighted average salary for faculty.
The University of Texas has the highest average of $84,427 and Kansas State University has the lowest average of $61,710.
It is hard to receive money from the state because the University is just one group vying for a portion of the state's funds, Jones said.
"We're one small group trying to argue for a little bit bigger piece of the pie," he said.

Sustainability the goal for Senate task force
KU Student Senate is undertaking an effort in environmental sustainability. The goal is to centralize environmental groups' efforts on campus and increase usability and communication.
A task force of eight students and faculty members is in the preliminary stage of planning and will research the feasibility of such a program at the University. The task force will examine the possibility of organizing a hub for research, data collection and implementation of projects that will make campus operations more environmentally friendly, said Jeff Severin. Environmental Services
Manager for the Environmental Stewardship Program.
"Our main charge," said Anton Bengtson, task force member and Salina sophomore, "is to look into what we have, expose it more and make sure we're using existing resources to the fullest potential."
The task force will begin meeting within the next month. After the task force meets, it will have a clearer picture of the goals and activities of the program.

FORT SCOTT — The town that wouldn't let Gordon Parks
sit with the white people when he was growing up made it up to him in a big way with a four-day celebration of his life.
In the downtown theater where, as a boy, Parks had to sit in the balcony with other blacks, he ate dinner Saturday next to the governor of Kansas. Down front.
"Gordon, welcome to the front row," Gov. Kathleen Sebelius told the famed photographer to the applause of about 350 people at the Liberty Theater.
The banquet was the culmination of the town's first Gordon Parks Celebration of Culture and Diversity.
"I have a strange feeling back here," Parks said at the presentation. "I can't explain it."

Don't isolate disabled students
Many people on and off campus are uncertain about how to interact with people with disabilities. They worry about inadvertently offending them by doing or saying the wrong thing.
Many people give up on interacting with people with disabilities before they even try. As a result, people with disabilities often feel isolated and as though nobody wants to talk to them.
The people who give up before making a modicum of effort are the losers. They miss out on meeting people with unique personalities and original opinions and ideas. They miss out on the opportunity to make new acquaintances who may even become some of their closest friends. They miss out because they cannot see beyond the disabilities to the people themselves and their personalities.
For those who are not too cowardly or lazy to put forth the effort, here are some guidelines on disability etiquette to quell your fears of committing any sort of politically incorrect slip-up.
NOT UNHEARD OF
The tips below were compiled from the National Organization on Disability and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse Web sites.
Always ask before you try to assist a person with a disability. It's OK to offer assistance but don't barge ahead without making sure your assistance is wanted first. Many people with disabilities enjoy being independent and are not comfortable with what they may see as unwanted intrusions upon that independence.
图
First and foremost, treat a person with a disability with respect. As long as you give that person the respect you would afford anyone else, you can't go wrong.
When you first meet people with a disability, it's OK to shake their hands. They're not contagious.
TARA SCHUPNER
opinion@kansan.com
Many people with disabilities enjoy being independent and are not comfortable with what they may see as unwanted intrusions upon that independence.
They won't hurt you. You won't hurt them. They won't be offended. Even if they don't have a hand to shake with, if they offer their limb or prosthesis, go ahead and at least touch it in recognition.
If you are communicating to a person who uses an interpreter or aide, talk directly to the person. Don't look at the interpreter or aide.
- Don't yell or raise your voice when talking to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. That doesn't help them hear any better.
- Don't pet or feed a guide dog. They are working. Interfering with a guide dog that's on the job is just as bad as jamming a stick into the snooke of a wheelchair.
Don't ask personal questions about a person's disability right off the bat. Some people are sensitive about any implication that
a person may be interested in them simply because of their disability. Let the people with disabilities offer the information themselves. Or wait until you have become better friends before asking them personal questions.
When talking about disabilities, put the person first rather than the disability. For example, "a person with a disability" or "Elizabeth, who is blind." is appropriate.
Also, be aware of politically correct terms. In the past, people have used terms now considered unacceptable which include handicapped, visually or hearing impaired, crippled, retarded and mentally defective. These can be damaging to one's esteem because they imply defectiveness or a lesser status.
Help make events on campus and in the community accessible. Make sure your event is wheelchair accessible. People who need interpreters must file a request 24 to 48 hours in advance, so advertise your event ahead of time. Print out large-print or Braille copies of PowerPoint presentations for people with visual difficulties.
Ask the office of Services for Students with Disabilities for assistance or advice.These are only a few tips. Go online and find more. Use them.
Don't be a loser. Learn from the tips above and don't let someone's disability become a solid brick wall, separating you from someone who could be good company for lunch at the Underground, a cram session or even a drink at the Hawk.

In October 2002, when he voted to give the president authority to go to war, Kerry said, "In giving this president authority, I expect him to fulfill the commitments he has made to the American people in the last few days — to work with the United Nations Security Council to adopt a new resolution setting out immediate and tough inspection requirements, and to act with our allies at our side if we have to disarm Saddam Hussein by force. If he fails to do so, I will be the first to speak out."

The president failed to do so and Kerry spoke out, and said that it was a mistake.
The "global test" comment was said that the United States should be able to prove legitimacy to the rest of the world if we decide to invade another country.

Rescuer of lost Seattle girl: dreams said 'keep going'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — After eight days, Laura Hatch's family had almost given the 17-year-old up for dead, and sheriff's deputies had all but written her off as a runaway.
Then she was found, badly hurt and severely dehydrated but alive and conscious, in the back seat of a crumpled car, 200 feet down a ravine.
Hatch, who remained hospitalized yesterday in serious condition, was last seen at a party on Oct. 2.
When she did not show up by the next day, her family filed a missing person's report.
The initial search was slowed because there had been underage drinking at the party, and the young people who attended would not say where it had been held, sherriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.
On Oct. 6, detectives learned the party had been in a neighborhood east of Lake Washington and searched along her likely route home, Urquhart said. But prospects dimmed as the days passed.
"We had already given her up
and let her be dead in our hearts," her mother, Jean Hatch, said.
Urquhart noted that in 24 years with the department, he had never known of a person to survive eight days without food or water.
He said an investigation into the accident was under wav.
Hatch's parents organized a volunteer search on Saturday, and that night Sha Nohr, a church member and mother of a friend of Hatch's, said she had dreams of a wooded area and heard the message, "Keep going, keep going."
On Sunday morning, Noht and her daughter drove to the area where the crash occurred, praying along the way.
"I just thought, 'Let her speak out to us,' Nohr told The Seattle Times.
Nohr said something drew her to stop and clamber over a concrete barrier and more than 100 feet down a steep, densely vegetated embankment where she barely managed to discern the wrecked Toyota Camry in some trees.
She called to her daughter,
who flugged down a passing motorist.
The man helped Nohr get closer to the car as aid was summoned.
Hatch was being treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for dehydration, a blood clot on the brain, and broken bones in her face, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg-Hanson said.
"This is a good story. We're hoping it has a really happy ending." he said.
The teen's doctor said Hatch's dehydration contributed to her survival by keeping a blood clot caused by the crash from expanding in her brain.
Dr. Richard Ellenbogen said Hatch was disoriented, thinking only a day had passed, but he said she was "in amazing shape for someone lost for eight days."
A call yesterday to the family home in Redmond was answered by one of Hatch's sisters, who declined comment.
Ellenbogen said doctors were rehydrating Hatch and carefully monitoring her condition.

for his portion of the rent. Kesterson said angry neighbors were overreacting.
"What do you expect living two blocks from the University?" Kesterson said.
Despite daily letters and phone calls to Torres, Allen has yet to see any change in his neighborhood.
Cars continue to fill the streets and lawns; parties still keep Allen and his wife awake at night, he said.
Allen said Torres was unresponsive to his complaints. He said Torres doesn't take complaints seriously. Torres said inspectors respond as soon as possible.
The Lawrence Police Department does not respond to these types of complaints because they are out of its jurisdiction.
Allen doesn't see alternative living space as an issue for students.
Apartments, residence halls and the greek community are living spaces students should consider, Allen said.
Getting renters out of the neighborhood would solve crime and economic, population and school board issues for the city, he said.
Torres said he receives an equal amount of complaints from neighborhoods around the city. Allen said he would keep filing complaints until the city did something about violators.
"What do I have to do as a 30-year property owner to protect my property," Allen said.

Men have gotten more casual with their clothing, but women are still very fashion conscience, willing to pay more even though the clothes may not be dressy, said Beth Easter, owner of Ginger and Maryanne.
Ginger & Maryanne started out with more traditional clothing, but the denim was outselling traditional wear, so the store began primarily carrying denim, Beth said.
"I think that the denim, and the trends, and the T-shirts and all that we got into at the right time really made our business go up. Even though we added that same kind of look into Easton's, the guys weren't quite ready for it," Beth said.
Weaver's Department Store is still doing well with suit and sportscoat sales, said Earl Reineman, vice-president of
The guys are getting there, but they're still a little bit behind the women, Beth said.

Weaver's. There is an ebb and flow of sales between casual and dressier clothing, he said.
nesses have sprung up
Weaver's adjusts its retail according to what people are buying. If people don't buy suits, then they're buying something else, Reineman said.
The City of Lawrence does not require businesses to register or have licenses, so no record is kept of how many businesses have gone out of business in the last couple of years and how many new busi-
lesses have spring up.
But vacant buildings in downtown never stay vacant for long, said Maria Martin, director of the Lawrence Downtown Association. The reason why some businesses close varies from business to business, Martin said. But owning and operating your own business as a small, independent business owner takes all of your own time, Martin said.

Queers rally against ban
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Capitol at their backs, supporters of gay marriage pleaded, demanded and sang out for equal rights yesterday, hoping they will succeed in the long term but mindful of the hostile political environment they face today.
Unfortunately I think it's such a hot
Opponents of gay marriage, led by President Bush, are trying to amend the U.S. Constitution to outlaw gay and lesbian marriages. Voters in 11 states will consider such amendments to state constitutions this fall, and most, if not all, are expected to pass. Even many politicians friendly to gay rights say they oppose same-sex marriage.
Opponents say same-sex unions would undermine traditional marriage between a man and a woman, and they contend children are better off with a mother and a father.
button issue no candidate will come within a mile of it." John McDonell Kerry supporter
About 200 gathered for yesterday's rally. Many of them signed a petition asking Bush to reconsider his stance. Some couples held placards declaring the years they have been together.
Same-sex marriage is legal only in Massachusetts, the result of a state court ruling. Opponents of such marriages fear other states may follow suit, so they are pushing amendments to state constitutions to define marriage as the union of a man
and a woman. Six states have adopted these amendments.
On the federal level, Bush and congressional Republicans have similarly tried to amend the U.S. Constitution, but Senate and House votes failed to attract the required two-thirds support.
The issue has left some politicians in awkward positions. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has said he opposes gay marriage but also opposes amending the U.S. Constitution, calling it a matter for states to decide.
He supports civil unions,
which give same-sex couples
many benefits of marriage but
not the title.
At yesterday's rally, support for Kerry was clear but tepid.
"Unfortunately I think it's such a hot button issue no candidate will come within a mile of it," said John McDonell, 38, of San Francisco, who attended the rally with his wife.
The bus tour also lacked support from people expected to be its natural allies.
The nation's largest gay rights group, the Human Rights Campaign, neither endorsed the event nor advertised it at its annual dinner of 3,000 people this weekend.
The group supports the effort but thought it was unhelpful to discuss gay marriage — which alienates many voters — three weeks before an election.
The Human Rights Campaign is focused on fighting marriage amendments on state ballots, said Steven Fisher, the group's communications director.
States voting on the issue Nov. 2 include Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon and Utah.
Many at the rally say they will win in the long run even if they lose the state fights.
"When more and more couples are married in Massachusetts and people in the country see the sky hasn't fallen, they will realize that it's not going to hurt anyone. Right now the other side can use a lot of scare tactics," said Ellen Pontac, 62, of Davis, Calif., who attended the rally with her lesbian partner of 50 years. "I certainly believe it's going to happen in my lifetime."

Schools approved a donation from Royal Crest Lanes proprietors Larry Burton and Wayne Martin to fund all costs for bowling as a sport at Lawrence and Free State high schools. Sprow and many other young bowlers now have the opportunity to represent their school in competition.
The approval was immediate and surprising to some people, including Free State High School Athletic Director Steve Grant. The response was students have already expressed interest in trying out for the team.
The Kansas State High School Athletics Association officially sanctioned bowling as a varsity letter sport on Sept.15.
"There are lot of kids already bowling and I didn't know it was that popular," Grant said. "Olathe East last year had 90 kids try out for the teams, which

"I think it's awesome. It kind of pissed me off that no one took bowling seriously," Kwassay said. "There's the stereotype that bowling is something for overweight old men, and maybe this will make people take the sport seriously and more people, especially freshmen, will want to try out."
More exposure for young kids will impact the collegiate level of bowling as well. In-state universities such as Kansas and Wichita State have successful bowling programs; the KU men's club bowling team won the national championship last year. Michael Fine,

Not all Kansas student athletes compete through the University. Some trade the possibility of the limelight of NCAA competition for the fulfillment of unconventional sports. This is true for Brandon Carlson.
Tonight, Carlson, Overland Park senior, will travel to Bakersfield, Calif., to compete in the International Amateur Waterski, Wakeboard and Kneeboard Tour's U.S. Championships for wakeboarding, sponsored by the International Novice Tour. The competition, which starts tomorrow, will feature riders from 34 states. Carlson will be one of five representatives from the state of Kansas.

Riders of varying skill levels are separated into one of five divisions: novice, intermediate, advanced, expert or outlaw, a division that is considered semi-professional. The Kansas State Coordinator for INT. Mike Riffle, said 28 percent of the professional wakeboarders come out of the outlaw division. Carlson will wakeboard in the expert division, and could decide next year to join the outlaw ranks.
Carlson has been wakeboarding for about six years, but didn't really get serious about the sport until he transferred from Creighton University in Omaha. Neb., a year and a half ago.

What is more upsetting is having Georgia Tech in town on New Year's Day. Most students have already had the opportunity to go to Late Night, and if they haven't, they will get another chance next year. But to schedule a game that could be the college basketball game of the season on the biggest football day of the year is unforgettable.
If they did, maybe they would have had the common sense not to schedule two of the biggest Kansas basketball events of the year, Late Night in the Phog and the home game against Georgia Tech, during fall and winter break, respectively.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
KELLIS ROBINETT sports@kansan.com
Lawrence an extra day before Thanksgiving to watch the Jayhawks play Michigan State. Two years ago, I stayed two days into winter break to catch the UCLA game.
Delaying those trips home didn't cost any extra money or cause much inconvenience. It just meant one or two less days at home. But this time it's different.
Virtually all out-of-state students who want to attend the Georgia Tech game will have to sacrifice their New Year's Eve festivities and their New Year's Day football watching and spend a pretty penny traveling to Lawrence.
Out-of-state students and other Kansas fans should not be forced to choose between their New Year's ritual and a home basketball game as important as this one. After all, there is a legitimate chance that this Elite Eight overtime rematch between Kansas and Georgia Tech could feature the teams ranked first and second nationally going into the New Year.
I'm sure the TV executives recognize this as a potentially big game and most likely scheduled it thinking they would

Men's volleyball faces first competition of fall in Mizzou
Beyond the arc
The KU Men's Volleyball club team will travel to the University of Missouri's Mizzou Midwest Swing tournament over fall break. The tournament, beginning at 9 a.m.on Oct.16 at Hearnes Center, is the first for this year's club.
The club will compete with 12 other teams in a round-robin format to establish seeds. After the teams have been seeded, they will play singleelimination games to establish a champion.
"We're much more confident this year," said Matt Parrot, a grad student from Overland Park. "We've got a few new players who are going to make a difference."
"We're really psyched and ready for competition, because we've been practicing for so long," said Adam Ferrari, Wilmette, ill., senior. "I'm hoping we'll play like we are able to play."

Cardinals deserve respect in playoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
That was indeed a handshake line you saw moments after the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Dodgers in Los Angeles, three games to one, to settle half the bracket for the National League championship series.
Just don't get used to it.
Respect is hard to come by in baseball around playoff time. The last time anybody can remember two teams shaking hands at the end of a playoff series was 1991, after the closest World Series ever, and you definitely won't see the Yankees-Red Sox series end that way in a week or so. Then again, few teams merit respect the way the Cardinals do.
million ranked 11th out of 30 major league teams, but nobody got more professionalism for the buck.
The guy who calls the shots day to day, Tony La Russa, is a lawyer by training, once known as the "Thinking Man's Manager" and "Baseball's Answer Man" because he was using computers long before they fit on a lap. They even celebrate with restraint.
The Cards' lineup is loaded top to bottom with patient, lethal hitters, their pitchers contest every inch of the plate, and they send out a Gold Glover at just about every position.
Their opening-day payroll of $75.6
So maybe it wasn't a coincidence that Dodgers manager Jim Tracy described the rare handshake exchange Sunday night as, "a professional show
Odalis Perez and drew a walk in the first inning. Then Scott Rolen, who was hitless in the division series, wrangled another walk after Perez just missed with balls three and four.
Then, in the fourth, Pujols maneuvered reliever Wilson Alvarez into a 3-1 count and smacked the next pitch into the left-field seats for a three-run homer that sealed the Dodgers' fate.
It would have said just as much if the Dodgers carried a white flag out onto the field. That's how soundly the Cardinals handled Los Angeles throughout. Their only hiccup came in Game 4, when Los Angeles starter Jose Lima threw a complete-game shutout by nibbling at the corners, and the St. Louis hitters uncharacteristically obliged by biting at too many bad pitches.
of class between two very classy organizations.
"To play this series the way it was played with the intensity it was played," Tracv said, "it said a lot."
Their patience wasn't rewarded immediately, but all the walks eventually wore down Perez.
"Albert is a tremendous player, he does amazing things out there," said St. Louis starter and winner Jeff Suppan, who is a pretty good story himself. "With him and everyone else, it's the best team I've been on."
That trend ended early in the clinching game. Albert Pujols, who had only one RBI in the series to that point, climbed out of an 0-2 hole against

Junior leader adds to tennis team
BY RAHUL SHARMA

The 2004 Kansas women's tennis team is young.
After graduating three seniors last season - Emily Haylock, Courtney Steinbock and Kristen Steinbock - the Jayhawks will have to look to a new leader.

less. program sk of the week ing in program fee.
Enter junior Christine Skoda. "I'm ready to take that role." Skoda said in response to embracing team leadership.
Skoda is a different type of leader.
"I'm not vocal, but you don't have to be." she said.
TENNIS
Skoda, a native of Edmonton. Alberta, is exemplified by her composure on the court, rarely showing emotion.
Freshman Lauren Hommell follows through on a ground stroke during a practice this fall.
"I want to be the person who can be looked up to," Skoda said.
For the team, Skoda embracing a leadership role could not have come at a better time.
win three incoming freshmen, Lauren Hommell, Anna Jackson and Stephanie Smith and two sophomores, Brittany Brown and Ashley Filberth, Skoda is joined by junior Luiza
Loureiro as the eldest members of the team.
"Skoda has been working extremely hard in practice and taking on the challenge of being a leader," coach Amy Hall-Holt said.
Skoda understands the value of her presence.
"When the team is depending on me, that is when I play my best." Skoda said.
Skoda, who was named the Big 12 player of the week in March, is constantly looking to improve her game, as well.
"I want to see improvement in my serve, shot selection, and having the discipline to play harder." Skoda added.
With regards to Hall-Holt, Skoda spoke highly of the second-year coach.
"She's always there for us," Skoda said. "It's comforting for the entire team."
Assistant Frank Polito, who was named to the coaching staff this July, also influences Skoda, she said.
"His coaching philosophy suits our team because we are younger," Skoda said. "He understands we are eager to learn and listen."
team, Skoda said unity was important.
"We need to be there for each other and put in the effort that's expected of us." Skoda said.
After two and a half weeks of rest, Skoda and the Jayhawks travel to South Bend, Ind., home of the Fighting Irish, for the
Notre Dame Fall Invitational this weekend. Action begins on Oct. 15 and continues through the 17.
Schools competing include Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Virginia and Kansas.

Former Padres player dies of heart attack
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — On the field, Ken Caminiti's all-out style served him well. Off the field is where it got him in trouble.
The 1996 National League MVP, who later admitted using steroids during his major league career, died Sunday. He was 41.
Caminiti died of a heart attack in the Bronx, said his agent-lawyer Rick Licht.
"What we all loved about Cammy was his devotion to the game and his desire for the game. But it went into uncontrollable levels with no discipline," said one of his former coaches, Houston manager Phil Garner.
Caminiti's 15-year big league career ended in 2001, five seasons after he led the San Diego
Padres to a division title and was a unanimous pick for MVP. But the three-time All-Star third baseman often was in trouble the last few years.
Just last Tuesday, he admitted in a Houston court that he violated his probation by testing positive for cocaine last month, and was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
State District Judge William Harmon gave Caminiti credit for the 189 days he already served in jail and a treatment facility since he was sentenced to three years probation for a cocaine arrest in March 2001.
"This is the largest mistake I've made in my life," Caminiti said when he pleaded guilty in March 2002. "I had a real good thing going for me and I got sidetracked. It doesn't have to be
that way. It doesn't have to be drugs. It doesn't have to be alcohol. That part of my life is over."
In May 2002, Caminiti told Sports Illustrated that he used steroids during his MVP season, when he hit a career-high 526 with 40 home runs and 130 RBIs. He estimated half the players in the big leagues were also using them.
Licht said Caminiti hoped to get back into the game, possibly in a position that would allow him to mentor younger players about avoiding the mistakes he made.
"I'm still in shock." Padres general manager Kevin Towers said. "He was one of my favorite all-time players."
Caminiti did return to baseball this year, serving as a spring training instructor with San Diego.
"He didn't look good," Towers said. "The best way to describe him is that he was a warrior in every sense of the word. I can't tell you how many times I remember him hobbling into the manager's office, barely able to walk, and saying, 'Put me in the lineup.'"
Licht said Caminiti was in New York this past weekend to help a friend, but did not go into detail.
"Man, that's just a tough one. I played with him for eight years," Dodgers outfielder Steve Finley said Sunday night.
"He was a great player, but he got mixed up in the wrong things — taking drugs. It's a sad reminder of how bad drugs are and what they can do to your body. It's a loss all of us will feel."

bowling coach, said he liked the idea of having bowling at the high school level because it would increase the level of interest in the sport.
"The prospect of having more kids involved in the sport is exciting." Fine said. "This will hopefully improve the pool of students we recruit for our program."
Since bowling is a club sport at Kansas, athletic scholarships aren't available for prospective bowlers. However, there are no shortage of scholarship opportunities for young bowlers.
Sropw already won about $1,000 in scholarships in tournments and was looking to win more. As part of the bowling team at FSHS, she would be eligible for one of the $250 scholarships that Royal Crest pledged to give to one girl and one boy at both Lawrence and Free State

"I run five tournaments at the state level and we give out around 84 scholarship totaling $15,000," Altman said. "Now
Altman said bowling's popularity was growing and there was a buzz going around the younger kids at the schools and in the leagues at Royal Crest Lanes.
Altman said he knew the growing popularity of the sport first hand and will be the first to admit that he was very passionate about providing the opportunity for kids who would normally not be involved in high school activities to be part of a team.
Altman's two sons are students at FSHS and are on a bowling team at Royal Crest Lanes with Srow and her younger sister.
"I'm excited the program made it before I graduated," Sprow said. "There are a lot of people out there who play and don't have the same opportunities as softball or basketball players."

ROBINETT: No time for hoops
CONTINUED FROM 1B
get a good audience. But who, other than Kansas and Georgia Tech fans, will want to watch any middle-of-the season basketball game over the Cotton. Fiesta and Rose bowls?
Heck, I'm one of the biggest Kansas basketball fans around, but last year when Kansas State played Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2 at the same time that Kansas played Villanova in a regular season nonconference basketball game, I chose to
watch the Fiesta Bowl to root against Kansas State and TiVoed the Kansas basketball game for later.
And that raises another question: What will happen if the Kansas football team wins the Big 12 Championship and gets selected to play in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day? How will we choose between supporting the basketball team and heading to Arizona to cheer on the Jayhawks in their first BCS bowl game?
OK, so the chances of that
happening are slim to none. But honestly, what sick and twisted soul decided to put Kansas fans through this New Year's Day dilemma?
Kudos to those of you who are sticking around during fall and winter breaks to catch these events.
I guess the rest of us will have to hope for an ordinary Late Night and an unexciting Kansas blowout of Georgia Tech to make us feel a little better about not being there.

CARLSON: Dad key to success
CONTINUED FROM 1B
It helps that his parents support him, he said.
Wakeboard Camp in Clermont, Fla., and it pushed him to try harder tricks, he said.
From driving the boat so he can practice to paying the entry fees at the tournaments, their contributions have been important to his success, he said.
But Carlson's dad isn't just a spectator. He competes in the tournaments.
"When my friends come out, they're just blown away," Carlson said. "He's 52, and he can tear it up on a wakeboard."
Riffle believes that the camaraderie between Carlson and his dad is at an all-time high because of wakeboarding, which is exactly what the INT league tries to promote, he said.
This past summer, Carlson started in the advanced division. After winning the first event, he decided to move up to the expert
Carlson started competing in INT tournaments in 2003 and didn't fare well the first time out. He fell twice early in his run, the maximum number of times a rider is allowed to fall during competition, and finished ninth out of 11riders.
He did better the final two tournaments of the summer finishing second and first.
"Hopefully, I can go out there
and give it my best shot."

division, the second highest. To his surprise, he won that event too, and ended up winning two out of the next three to qualify for the U.S. Championships.
"It was pretty interesting because I bumped up." Carlson said. "I was going against guys who had been in that division the whole year. The last tournament of the year basically decided who got to go to nationals."
"I want to do well," he said. "Everyone wants to do well, but I'm not hung up on the fact that I should go out there and try to beat everybody. I don't think that's realistic.
Expectations for this type of competition might be high for most people, but Carlson doesn't view the U.S. Championships as a life or death situation.
"Hopefully, I can go out there and give it my best shot," Carlson said. "Like I said, if I lose, who cares? I mean, I had fun, and it's cool to go out there."
Carlson doesn't wakeboard for awards, or even necessarily because he has an overwhelming desire to be in tournaments. Instead, he competes for fun. He loves the sport and would go out on his boat every day if he had the chance.
"Wakeboarding to me is a sport that anybody, any type of person can do and honestly, I don't care how good you are," Carlson said. "It doesn't matter."
Wakeboarding is a hobby, but it can also be used as a distraction.
It's never mattered to Carlson who he rides with.
He gets as much satisfaction from teaching other people how to wakeboard and watching them land their first trick as he does when he learns something new. The feeling a person gets when doing something new on a wakeboard for the first time is unbelievable, Carlson said.
For Carlson, wakeboarding isn't something he'll just do in college.

"He said he had a good feeling," associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said. "He said if one of the goal posts were to come down, he would pick up the tab."
At about $3,000 per set of post posts, the students post-game revelry proved to be a little expensive. When the goal posts were torn down last season, the

Friday marks the beginning of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. Rehman, a Kansas City, Mo., senior, said it was an important time for practitioners of the faith.
Starting Friday, Asma Rehman will be refocusing a large part of her life on God and her religious values.
Lasting for the entire month, Muslims fast during the daylight hours and in the evening eat small meals and visit with friends and family.
"It is a time of worship and contemplation — a time to strengthen family and community ties," she said.
The Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Drive, held an open house yesterday to answer questions from the community about Ramadan and many other facets of Islam. such as involves fasting and submission to God.

The month-long fast is required of all Muslims said Moussa Elbayouy, the director of the Islamic Center of Lawrence. He said that the fasting experience was part of one of the five pillars of Islam. The fasting is called for by God, he said, and helps Muslims understand the plight of those long fortunate than them.

Groups promote cancer awareness

SPECIAL TO THE KANSAK
She called it her blessing in disguise. Donna Neuner, "Bosom Buddies" support group leader, found comfort in a Christmas-time tragedy. Ten years ago, at age 52, Neuner was diagnosed with breast cancer after receiving a mammogram. She frantically scanned her brain for someone she knew who had breast cancer, but she came up blank.
Neuner found support from coworkers who revealed their experiences with breast cancer. She underwent a bilateral mastectomy only days before Christmas.
Neuner said she was grateful because having breast cancer helped her reorganize priorities and realize what was most important.
"It was the most meaningful Christmas," Neuner said. "It was beautiful because I got through it and I was still alive."
The 20th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a campaign designed to educate women about breast cancer and prevention methods, kicked off Oct. 1. The third Friday in October, Oct. 15 this year, is National Mammography Day. It was first proclaimed by President Clinton in 1993. Radiologists throughout the nation will offer discounted or free mammograms Friday.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women in Kansas, according to the American Cancer Society. Yearly breast cancer screenings in Kansas are on the rise, despite a national drop in 2000 from 69.1 percent to 66 percent in 2002, according to the society. In Kansas, nearly 63.2 percent of women in 2002 had a mammogram, up from 61.9 percent in 2000. The reason: public awareness campaigns, better insurance coverage and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
David Sostarich, director of radiology services at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said the rise in mammogram rates was due in part to marketing strategies.
Sue McDaneld, director at the Topeka branch of the American Cancer Society, said Lawrence had an active community with a core group focused on awareness. Lawrence has several support groups and health

The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas is serving up pizza with its politics.
Luncheon at Dole Institute to host campaign manager
Pizza and Politics will be today at noon in the Centennial Room on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. Pizza and beverages are on us, said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute.
Pizza and Politics is another way he is trying to get students involved with politics and the institute.
Julie Merz, campaign manager for Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) will be the guest speaker at the luncheon. Merz, 2001 KU graduate, will speak on "running a campaign targeted by both national parties."
There are about 435 House of Representatives races across the country and 400 of those races are automatic in the sense that people are already decided on whether they will vote Republican or Democrat, she said. The other 35 races can go either way and usually involve the most campaign money and competition. These races have to target voters from both parties.
Bipartisanship is important, Merz said. Politics have become so polarized, but most legislative solutions come from the middle where both sides of the spectrum come together to make a decision. She said this was a way that she could share with students how she's done what she's done.
Merz is someone students can relate to and may see themselves doing
what she's doing three or four years from now, Lacy said.

For one freshman, visiting family and doing laundry for free are good reasons to head home for fall break.

But the dirty socks and shirts aren't the only motivation for Rachel Seymour to go home to Ottawa tomorrow.
The freshman will also participate in her first presidential election, although the official election day is weeks away.
Absentee voting is a way for out-of-state and out-of-city students to exercise their rights to vote without registering in Lawrence.
Seymour said out-of-state students probably would benefit more from absentee ballots.
It's a general understanding that Democrats don't have a strong voice in Kansas because of the way the electoral college is
divided. she said.
But students from swing states such as Florida probably think they have more of a voice when submitting their votes in their home states.
Marni Penrod, Douglas County deputy of elections, said she has noticed an increase in voter registration, though she didn't have hard numbers.
She said the convenience of absentee ballot was appealing to people for other reasons, too.
Penrod said absentee voting allowed people more time to ponder their decisions if they submitted ballots by mail. Hypothetically, a person could stare at the ballot for hours instead of being rushed in and out of a voting booth.
She also reminds first-time voters that, with absentee ballots, a copy of their IDs is required before their votes will be counted.
Here are the regulations for absentee voting for Kansas and surrounding states.

City to join state in fight against homelessness
LAWRENCE
The 2004 Kansas Statewide Homeless Summit will take place on Oct. 14, exactly one month before the Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week starts on Nov. 14. Mayor Mike Rundle proclaimed the Summit and the Awareness Week at last night's city commission meeting.
The Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition organized the Summit as part of its goal to end homelessness in Kansas and was founded in 2000 by a group of service providers for the homeless.
"It's an educational opportunity, and the coalition is bringing experts to Lawrence to provide education and training to community agencies, non-profit and for-profit agencies that serve the homeless around the state so
that they can do the best job in serving them," said Randy Crandall, chair for the Coalition.
The theme for the Summit is "Knowledge + Partnership = Solutions." The theory behind the theme was several organizations in Kansas were serving the homeless, Crandall said. A lot of them are serving in isolation, Crandall said. If the Coalition can provide them with a better model for them to work from and encourage them to partner with other agencies in their city or county, then the Coalition can provide them with more money and overall policies and procedures.
"Lawrence is a good example of what cities can do if they adopt good policies and they work together and they share resources," Crandall said.
Crandall said almost half of homeless individuals are children.

Student Senate is sitting on a $100,000 surplus. At least for this year.
Increased enrollment and unused money will give Student Senate $50,000 more to spend on student organizations and special events. The other $50,000 will be spent on Senate projects that benefit a large number of students, such as Wireless Internet.
Full Senate voted to acclimate the Resolution in Support of the Proposed Changes to the University Class Schedule. Senate accepted a proposal from Vice Provost Don Steeple to change class schedules beginning Spring 2006. Changes will include:
changes will modify
Decreasing Tuesday/Thursday

Late Night during break shouldn't hinder crowd
After last weekend's exhilarating victory over Kansas State, students are hungry for more. For KU sports fans, this is a great time of year. As the football team sprints toward a tough home stretch with a potential bowl game in sights, the basketball team is beginning to rev up. This year we were treated to a sneak preview with the team's Labor day excursion up to Canada for some exhibition games. On Friday, fans will get their first chance to see the team up close at Late Night in the Phog.
The beginning of basketball season is something that should be celebrated on this campus. However, there has been some grumbling among students about Late Night this year. The event will take place during fall break. Though this is unfortunate for the fans and the team, it was the only choice the administration had. The only way this wouldn't have happened was if
the University were to schedule fall break and homecoming on the same weekend. Having Late Night on fall break is an inconvenience, but having homecoming over fall break would be a bigger blow to school spirit.
Bill Self and the team would probably prefer to not have this scheduling situation, but its doubtful that you'll hear them complain about it. The team is too busy preparing for a run at the national championship. This promises to be a big year with Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, Michael Lee, and Wayne Simien wrapping up their KU careers.
Undoubtedly, many students will be out of town this weekend. Many will still be in Lawrence, though. For those who will be here, Late Night will be the best party in town. It is hardly a bold prediction to declare that a packed house will be there as always this year.

Some guy just took a picture of me on Mass Street. It's called a pic and run.
This is to the pastor and all of his followers protesting God's hatred towards homosexuals: 1 John 4:20-21 says, "If anyone says, 'I love God' yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother." So, obviously you don't know the Bible as well as you think you do.

No more apathy; vote on Nov.2
GUEST COMMENTARY
We are sure that you are aware that next month there will be an election. We are also sure that at least once in the last month someone has tried to convince you that this is the most important election of our lifetime.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Now, this statement may have confused you at first. "The most important?" you ask. "Then why did a political cartoon in the Kansan lampoon both candidates, the debates and the entire political process, implying that I shouldn't care at all?"
JASON BOOTS & KATIE WOLFF
opinion@kansan.com
Recent media coverage such as the Oct. 6 political cartoon in The University Daily Kansan portrayed the debates and politics in general as something that is neither pertinent nor interesting to the nation. This unfortunate portrayal of the process will only prolong the image of the United States as an apathetic nation.
We urge you to look past the media images driving their shouts about the apathy of our generation into our skulls. As students and members of a younger generation, we are often considered to be the least politically involved of the population. We cannot allow this inundation of media coverage to disenfranchise us by convincing us that voting isn't hip. Look around you. You can see political activism gleaming in peoples' eyes. Students on this campus have broken school
records with the number of new registered voters. We are here to assure you that you do care and for good reason, too.
This election will have important ramifications. With foreign policy issues concerning the use of troops in Iraq, domestic issues such as the future of social security and homosexual rights, state issues like education funding and possible local referendums about the Lawrence smoking ban, there issues for all interests. These will directly affect your life and you should demand that your elected officials choose policy that will best serve you. As a resident of Kansas, we welcome you to cast your vote in this lovely state. Don't worry; you can still register until Oct. 18.
It is easy to fall prey to the lure of horse-race political analysis. The whole affair seems simple when broken down into neatly drawn pie charts. But do you really want a pie chart to rule your
life? Of course not. The Student Legislative Awareness Board, the nonpartisan governmental affairs wing of Student Senate, has taken the time to compile helpful information for you, from biographies to surveys filled out by the candidates themselves on the important issues at hand. As Election Day nears, visit us at www.ku.edu/ -slab for all of your election needs.
Our hope is that by Nov. 2, your interest has been sparked and you have registered to vote. The SLAB website is bookmarked on your computer and you can recognize the names of most of the candidates that will be on your ballot.
On Election Day, you will arrive at your designated polling site and cast your vote. It will be a relief to release all of that pent up political activity so after you vote, take a stroll around our beautiful campus, and be content that you have contributed as a citizen. Somewhere in the back of your mind you will recall a phrase that will become clear to you. What was it again? Oh, that's right. Engage in your Community. Commit to your world.

Kerry gains ground in debates
To some surprise, Kerry drew first blood on Sept. 30 in Miami, showing himself to be "presidential" — an ever-present word lately, despite any common definition of what it means or looks like — while Bush devolved into catch phrases and seemed caught offguard by the split-screen technology employed by each network telecast
The debates during the past two weeks, predicted on this very page to be more about style than anything else, have illustrated in decisive fashion the issues, positions and personalities of John Kerry and President George W. Bush.
The debate was considered a clear victory for Kerry, and the pictures of a frustrated Bush became useful for Democratic Party advertising.
RYAN SCARROW opinion@kansan.com
Kerry and Bush participated in the only town-hall type debate of the campaign, and Kerry was able to keep Bush from setting the agenda.
GUEST COMMENTARY
In the first part of the debate Bush, had trouble keeping his attitude under check, seeming at times to be overtly displeased at Kerry, moderator Charlie Gibson and even the audience.
LAUREN GART
Kerry uncharacteristically addressed the President directly at times, but in a stunning reversal was able to seize the quality most associated with Bush by seeming warm and personable with the audience; fully in grasp of his material, and the President's own tax returns. Kerry advanced his arguments with ease for the entire hour and a half.
WED

At times in each debate he seemed particularly exasperated and resorted to "strawman" arguments and tired labels. He took facts out of context on many issues. And most of all, he looked even more detached from reality than we had come to believe before the debates.
With these two debates down and one to go, we already have some indelible images, not the least of which being that of a president who appears to have difficulty dealing with people who challenge his statements and record. Upon Kerry's direct questioning of the administration's record on various issues Bush would clinch his jaw or slump over his podium, his body language indicating a man who has become too comfortable with the prescreened audiences he has addressed for four years now, and from whom he can expect no dissent from the party line.
After a month in which attacks on American troops have skyrocketed and deaths of U.S. soldiers marked yet another increase from the previous month, the

President said the situation in Iraq was improving. In a week in which the Iraq Survey Group reported that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction since the late 1990s and no capacity to produce them at the time of the invasion, the president said it vindicated his decision to go into Iraq.
On the day job employment numbers for September showed a significant decrease, Bush stuck to his script regarding taxes and the economy.
regarding taxes.
Kerry did not fully explain some of his positions and proposals: how to deal with military over-extension and how to cut the deficit without dramatic tax policy shifts being the most crucial of these items. He neglected to address or even bring up some issues of importance to the liberal wing of the electorate, such as poverty and civil rights. But his answers gave the impression of a mind at work.
Kerry's most important goal for the first debate was to establish himself as a clear alternative to Bush. Now he can work on making people want to vote for him, rather than just against the president.
If he can make a clean sweep of the debates tonight and deny Bush from regaining any momentum going into this last three-week stretch before Election Day, then it might be Kerry's race to lose.

history.
The best way for students to be vaccinated is to visit a clinic when they are home during fall break, said Myra Strother
Watkins Health Center chief of staff.
Healthy adults are being asked to put off or forego getting the shot in order to allow a specified group be immunized first by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said Sharon Watson, KDHE public information director.
People in the high-priority group are those most likely to develop serious or life-threatening symptoms of the flu, including the young, the old and those with chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes.
Watson said students should ask their health-care officials about Flu-Mist, a live vaccination that can be administered nasally.
She said she was not sure of the cost, but knew it was more expensive than flu shots.
expensive that Watson said it was difficult to guess whether more people would fall ill because of the vaccine shortage.
"No vaccine is 100 percent effective," she said. "The influenza vaccine is only about 80 percent effective. Those who get the shot could still get sick."
more seriously when they're sick, Martin said. This will prevent illness spreading through large lecture classes and offices.
Students, staff and faculty should take staying at home
"If they're not at class or not at work, hopefully people will understand that you're trying to do something for the community so to speak, rather than getting out of work or skipping class," she said.
She said students needed to take an active role in staying healthy during the flu season, which usually begins in late November or early December.
Strother said the staff at Watkins would try to be prepared for flu season, and staff members may be required to wear masks to avoid the illness.
Students should wash their hands frequently with antibacterial soap, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, stay home from school or work if they are sick, limit alcohol consumption, eat right and get plenty of sleep. Strother said.
"We'll still be ready to help them," she said.

GOAL POSTS: Almnus calls victory a sign of new winning ways
N.Y. RANGERS VS. NEW YORK GREAT CHAMPIONSHIP

University for three years, and graduated in 1968 with a business degree.
Clevenger joined Smith Barney in 1970. He continues to work at the financial firm as a senior vice president. That, combined with his alumnus-athlete status, allowed Clevenger to serve a three-year term on the KUAC board.
Thousands of fans rush the field after Kansas' victory over Kansas State. After some struggle, the fans managed to take down both sets of goal posts.
Last week, before the game, he decided he had something else to contribute to the Athletics Department.
"I've been following KU and K-State pretty closely and I thought it was the time," Clevenger said of his feeling. "It was a kind of inspirational message I wanted to send to the chancellor, the athletics director, the head coach and the team."
Clevenger was at the game, and said that it was one of the best student sections he remembers. He attends about 90 percent of all Kansas football and men's basketball home games.
While Clevenger was prepared to pay for the goal posts, and perhaps another set if Kansas beats Nebraska in Lawrence next year, he did say that he hoped students would
realize that goal posts should only come down when something unexpected happens.
He said that this was a sign that winning has come to the Kansas program, and with it, the need to celebrate these things will be fewer and farther between.
In addition to the goal posts, fans briefly considered removing the 25-second play clock
from the south end zone on Saturday. People tried to pry the clock out of the ground, amidst warnings from the public address announced, Hank Booth. Had that come out, repairs could have been even more expensive. The electricity that runs through the clock could have caused serious injury to anyone around it.
Other items that had to be
fixed or replaced after the postgame celebration included parts of the fence around stadium, as well as stolen advertising and signs.

LATE NIGHT: Fall break won't stand in the way

"He will have people clucking like a chicken," Steinberg said. "People do some pretty weird stuff when they are hypnotized."
Kansan File Phot
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said that he expected a packed house on Friday, even though students would be on fall break.
Sophomore guard J.R. Giddens danced during the men's basketball team's "Soul Train" dance at Late Night last year. Late Night in the Phog concluded last year with the annual intra-quad scrimmage.
If last year's turnout was any indication, Jayhawk fans should come early.
"Last year was an awesome event, we had to shut the doors four hours early." Marchiony said.
The doors to Allen Fieldhouse will close when it reaches capacity.
"Late Night at the Phog is a free event for basketball fans. Prizes will be given away, including free programs for the first 5,000 fans and thunderstix for all fans. A contest with a $20,000 prize will also take
place. The contest will be basketball-related, but the details are not yet known.

were so supportive.
"It really reflects the love that the fans have for college basketball," he said.
Edwards and Leno share jokes about Bush's 'battery'
— Edited by Rupal Gor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BURBANK, Calif. — John Edwards has a theory about what was hidden underneath an unusual wrinkle that appeared on the back of President Bush's suit jacket during his first debate with John Kerry.
"I think it was his battery," a grinning Edwards told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" on yesterday.
"I think tomorrow, before the debate, John Kerry ought to pat him down," Edwards said, referring to the final Bush-Kerry matchup, scheduled for Wednesday in Arizona.
chatting about issues from Iraq to chubby Secret Service agents.
The Democratic vice presidential nominee, making his second appearance on the comedian's stage this year, was in turns silly and serious while
Leno asked Edwards if he could beat the president in a foot race.
Edwards, who said he jogged about five miles Tuesday, reminded the audience he played football as a student. Bush, he noted, was on a cheering squad.
Bush "was on the side, with his pompoms," the North Carolina senator said. "I don't know, can you run fast with those cheerleading outfits on?"
Earlier, at a campaign stop in Colorado, Edwards attacked President Bush and Cheney as "out of touch." He didn't let up on Leno's show.
When Leno showed a clip of
Kerry windsurfing, Edwards said, "If I had to spend 90 minutes on a stage with George Bush, I'd want to clear my head too."
During the first debate between the presidential candidates, a camera glimpsed what looked like a rectangular lump between Bush's shoulder blades.
Bush's campaign aides have laughed off rampant Internet speculation that the president was wired to get help from advisers.
Edwards' one-day trip to California was somewhat unusual.
The presidential race has largely bypassed the state, which is viewed as an all but certain win for the Kerry-Edwards ticket in November.
RAMADAN: Participants fast for a purpose, donate food

"They experience voluntarily what others cannot enjoy," he said.
He said after the month, Muslims are called upon to make a donation of food directly to a needy family. The donation can be food or its monetary equivalent. He said that each person in the family was responsible for donating
Elbayoum said the donation should be equal to what the Islamic family normally eats in a day.
"If that's peanut butter and jelly, then they should donate peanut butter and jelly," he said.
He said this was a way to give back to the community and show that they understand what needy families are going through after having an experience like a month-long fast.
The most important part of the month was the worship element, he said.
"We fast because this is a command from God," he said.

She said Ramadan was a month about much more than just fasting.

"It's awesome," she said. "It brings the community closer together."
The community is invited to share in dinners after sundown in the mosque called iftar, she said.
She said God accepted one good deed as a thousand good deeds during Ramadan, (making) so that made doing those good deeds all the more special, she said.
But when you get to the bottom of it, she said, it was really about piety and worship.
"You do whatever it takes to eet closer to Allah," she said.
After Ramadan is over. Muslim families get together and celebrate and have a feast marking the end of the holiday.
"I will be going home to be with my family," Rehman said, "and we will visit friends and family all day and eat and drink until someone's pants become too small," she said.

CANCER: Self-exams, mammograms help with detection, survival
care advocates that help people combat financial limitations, such as lack of health coverage and high insurance deductibles.
"There is a huge interest in making people aware of breast cancer," McDanell said. According to the American Cancer Society, 96 percent of breast cancer deaths reported from 1996 to 2000 occurred in women 40 years and older. Some methods of prevention include mammograms, clinical breast exams, self-exams, moderate consumption of alcohol and monitored weight. Kansas groups, such as the Breast Cancer Action, Inc., are contributing to a year-round effort to educate women on the importance of self-breast exams and mammograms.
"The earlier the detection, the better the survival rate." Judy Hollingshead, chairperson of the Breast Cancer Action, Inc., said.
The group was developed to support women who had cancer and to raise awareness in Lawrence. The group sponsors annual health fairs where it passes out shower cards and stickers to remind women to do a self-breast exam every month.
The group has also spoken to several groups in the community, including churches, the Salvation Army and students at the University of Kansas.
Members of the group share personal survival stories and encourage women to get a yearly mammogram if they are 40 years or older. Hollingshead was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1986 at the age of 36. As a registered nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, she knew the American Cancer Society emphasized that mammograms were the best way to detect cancer, but since she was younger than 40, a self-breast exam was the next best thing.
"I am an advocate of selfbreast exams, because I found mine through a self-exam," Hollingshead said. She said another reason so many women were getting mammograms was the increased support from celebrities who have backed breast cancer awareness.

Department of The Kansas Department of Health and Environment found a link between mammograms and social economic disadvantages. For example, Asian-American women were least likely to get a mammogram. Only 46 percent had a mammogram in 2000, compared to 53 percent of African-Americans, 48 percent of Hispanics and 57 percent of Caucasians.
Women ages 40 years to 64 years old who do not have health coverage or have a high insurance deductible are less likely to get a mammogram, according to the Lawrence Department of Health.
By state and federal law, the Breast and Cervical Cancer Center Program must provide low-income women with regular breast and cervical screenings. A woman is considered low-income if she meets Federal poverty guidelines.
Early Detection Works program and almost 2,100 have been diagnosed with breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The program also offers ongoing public awareness through newspaper articles, brochures, posters, radio advertisements and outreach workers.
The KDHE and the CDC developed Early Detection Works, a program that provided free clinical breast exams, mammograms, Pap tests and diagnostic services for low-income, minority and older women in Kansas. As of July 2003, approximately 14,000 women have been screened through the
"There is no excuse for anyone not to have a mammogram," said Renee Kelley, director of public relations for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
According to the society, two common forms of tumors are linked to breast cancer: in situ and invasive. In situ tumors are cancerous, but have not spread from their origin. This type of cancer is almost always treatable. The other, invasive, is a cancerous tumor which invades the fatty tissue.
The risk factors vary from age, family history and late menopause, but breast cancer can be prevented. Early detection is the best way to increase the survival rate and improves treatment options. After diagnosis, someone with breast cancer may undergo surgery, radiation therapy or systemic therapy.

Good timing: team gets a break

90 8
All Kansas students get a break from classes this week, but the Kansas football team also gets a break from games with a bve weekend.
Coming off the team's biggest victory of the season, coach Mark Mangino said the bve could not have come at a better time.
"We have played six games, hard-fought games," Mangino said. "This week will give us an opportunity to heal up some bumps and bruises that we have."
Some of those players who will be able to heal are cornerbacks Theo Baines and Charles Gordon. Both cornerbacks came out of Saturday's contest against Kansas State. Gordon returned to the game later, but Baines did not.
Saturday was the Jayhawks' fourth straight contest that was decided by six points or less.
points of note.
Mangino said the week off would not be used to lengthen celebration time after Saturday's 31-28 victory.
"We have about 12 to 15 hours to enjoy the victory and then we get ready for the next one, so we don't celebrate too long." Mangino said.

Junior defensive tackle Tim Allen attempts to wrap up Kansas State quarterback Allen Webb during last Saturday's game.
The bye week will also give Mangino an opportunity to evaluate the quarterback position. Junior Jason Swanson replaced starter Adam Barmann in the fourth quarter and led the Jayhawks to victory.
"I want to be able to meet with the players," Mangino said. "I want to see how both quarterbacks react to Saturday out on the practice field this week."
Kansas' last practice this week will be on Thursday.
"Many of our kids on Thursday after practice will be able to go home or go home with a friend who lives locally for a couple days," Mangino said. "I think they will get a chance to relax and I am sure they are looking forward to that."
The extra week of practice will enable the Jayhawks to prepare for Oklahoma, which is ranked second nationally.
Mangino said. The coaching staff will also look back on the first six games to see what adjustments should be made for the home stretch.
which is rather specific. "It doesn't hurt to have a day or two to practice to get ready for Oklahoma," Mangino said.

"I want to study our team, see what we can improve, maybe see what we can do to get better in some areas that we have not been as productive as we have liked," Mangino said.

The No. 9 Kansas women's soccer team will hit the road for the second straight weekend, as it plays at Oklahoma State on Friday and Oklahoma on Sunday riding a fourgame winsnine streak while sitting in second place in the Big 12 Conference.
"This weekend's games are going to be tough," said coach Mark Francis. "Any road game in conference is tough. You have to show up ready to play. Oklahoma State is on a roll right now and Oklahoma doesn't allow many goals. It is going to be hard."
Although Kansas (12-2, 4-1) has experienced more success than the Oklahoma schools, it is looking at both games as a challenge.

Kansas proved last weekend it could win a conference game on the road by defeating Missouri 3-1 last Friday. After recording three or more goals in each of its past three games, the team also showed that it can finish scoring opportunities, something that Francis has been stressing in practice all year.

Red Sox won't ice Yankees
What a sad fate to be anything other than a Yankees fan when October rolls around. Whether you love them or hate them, the Yankees' have a supernatural ability to win games in the postseason.
Since the World Series began in 1903,
the Yankees have won the title 26 times.
After the Yankees advanced to the American League Championship Series, the uproar of Yankee-haters got louder. It only makes sense that the campus that hosted an upset of its own against Kansas State on Saturday is pulling for another one in Major League Baseball. But it won't happen.
Most Yankee-haters chalk up the club's amazing accomplishments to money. Those of us that love them know better. These guys have the talent, the heart and the magic that allows them to excel year after year.
Money comes into play, but every team has to buy a player for him to play for the organization.
Gary Sheffield and Alex Rodriguez were not cheap additions to this year's team, but both were more than willing to join a team with winning ways.
The Yankees get outstanding players not just because of money, but because players believe that the Yankees are America's team.
Team captain Derek Jeter has said,
"All I ever wanted to be was a Yankee."
Players like Jeter know that they're not the best until they play for the best.
The difference is that the Bronx Bombers just won't die. There is a mysterious aura of untouchable magic that lifts the Yanks to insane comebacks.
Losses occur for the Yankees the same as they do for any other team, just as it did in game one versus the Minnesota Twins on Oct. 5.
From Bucky Dent's rallying homer in 1978 to Aaron Boone's 11th-inning walk-off blast last season, the Yankees could never be counted out.
Upsets disguised as Marlins, Angels and Diamondbacks keep the Yankees grounded. The Florida Marlins won it all last year with a payroll roughly one-third of the Yankees. Talent and heart win championships, period.
Since 1996, 32 of their 69 postseason wins have come backs.
Yankee-haters be prepared. The Boston Red Sox may look better on paper this year, and the St. Louis Cardinals dominated the entire regular season, but I predict yet another heartbreaking year for both clubs.
Baseball is a great game. Without the underdogs knocking off the elite once in a while, this game would get boring.
I believe in the game and acknowledge the idea that I may be wrong about the Yankees' chances this year. But I wouldn't bet against them.
The Twins' ace and American League Cy Young favorite Johan Santana threw two incredible starts against the Yankees in the Division Series, but the Twins could only manage one victory. Furthermore, the Yanks hit a pitiful 214 throughout the series with runners in scoring position, but still found a way.
Now they face the red-hot Red Sox and might be underdogs against monster hitters Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz and pitchers Curt Schilling and Pedro Martinez.
New York's starting pitching is shaky; its ace closer is in another continent dealing with a family tragedy, and they're up against a cursed opponent. If it was anybody other than the Yankees, we'd already have them counted out.
But it's that Yankee magic that keeps fans loving — and hating — those boys in pintstripes, and it's why they will win their 27th championship this season.

Moving on up
Nomadic outfielder hits home
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS - Reggie Sanders, who's playing for his seventh team in seven seasons, has no trouble landing with a winner.
with a winner.
The St. Louis Cardinals left fielder has made it to the postseason for the fifth time and with his fourth team.
"I think a lot of it has to do with timing, being able to look at certain teams, and having the opportunity to pick." Sanders said yesterday.
Two of those teams, the 2001 World Champion Diamondbacks and 2002 World Series runner-up Giants, eliminated the Cardinals in the playoffs.
And now he'll try to help put St. Louis in the World Series for the first time in 17 seasons.
"What he brings to a clubhouse is great," teammate Larry Walker said. "I can't figure out why he doesn't stick with a team longer than he does."
The biggest reason is a succession of one-year contracts, along with two trades, although the Cardinals gave him a chance to plant roots with a two-year, $6 million contract in December.
And he's well-regarded by the team for his easy going disposition that has helped keep the team loose for the NLCS.
December.
Another reason is he's never been the big stick in the attack. Sanders has decent power and good speed, and he's the first player in major league history to hit 20 homers for six teams, but he's never driven in 100 runs. He's batted .300 only once.
Perhaps that's because he has so much experience in this situation.
Sanders hasn't been a productive player in the postseason, entering the NLCS opener against the Houston Astros on Wednesday night with a .192 career average. he has five homers and 13 RBIs.
Still, his homer in Game 4 against the Dodgers was one of the key hits in a clinching 6-2 victory.
"You have more media and the following is much greater," Sanders said. "What I've learned is you have to negate all of that and you just have to go out and do what you've got to do — treat it as a regular series. The emotions that come with the postseason can overwhelm you as a player."
as a player.
Sanders, 36, said it used to affect him more. He was 2-for-16 in the 1995 NLCS with the Reds and was 1-for-16 as recently as the 2002 NLCS.
"Of course, each time you go through it, it gets easier and easier," Sanders said.
Like most of the Cardinals, Sanders puts little stock in the Astros' 10-8 series advantage.
Houston was the only team in the NL with a winning record against St. Louis, although three of the games came right before the Cardinals clinched the Central on Sept. 18 and a later three-game sweep in Houston came while the Cardinals were coasting to the finish.

Former Missouri football star faces possible fine, jail time
Kettering Smith, 25, was stopped by a Montgomery County sheriff's deputy who saw his truck weaving in a Dayton suburb. He told the deputy he had consumed five beers, and he swayed while walking during a sobriety test, according to the arrest report.
KETTERING, Ohio — Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Justin Smith pleaded not guilty yesterday to a driving under the influence charge.
A breath test found he had a blood alcohol level of 0.152, nearly double the state's legal limit, the report said.
Under the instructions Smith was arrested last week. His attorney entered a written plea in Kettering Municipal Court.
Smith faces a maximum six months in jail and $1,000 fine for the misdemeanor charge.
Smith was the fourth overall pick in the 2001 draft. The former Missouri star set a team rookie record for sacks with 8 1/2 that year, but his total has declined during the past two years.

Sooners want revenge on wounded 'Cats
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORMAN, Okla. — Revenge isn't the word No. 2 Oklahoma is using this week heading into a rematch against Kansas State. Try preparation.
The Sooners were thoroughly beaten the last time they faced the Wildcats and the loss is still grating on their minds. But don't count on vengeance becoming too big a part of their vocabulary this week.
"I'm never much on that and I think our players understand that, too," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said Tuesday. "There's been a lot of people who want revenge on us or other people. Revenge doesn't do much."
"I think it gets down to execution, your focus, your intensity, your respect for the other team and being prepared to play."
Oklahoma was cruising along with 12 straight victories and rampant national championship talk as it headed into the Big 12 championship game against the Wildcats last season.
Perhaps the Sooners could have forgotten about it if they'd gone on to beat LSU and win the national title. Instead, LSU used Kansas State's formula and sent the Sooners home with two straight losses.
snap at the national state That didn't stop Kansas State from relentlessly attacking a hobbled Jason White and unleashing tailback Darren Sproles for 235 rushing yards, including a 60-yard touchdown run in a 35-7 victory.
Math whizzes had even figured out that a loss wouldn't cost the Sooners a shot at the national title.
raight losses. So instead of celebrating, Oklahoma
spent the offseason watching films of the losses and looking for ways to get better.

For Sooners players, those images overshadow the fact that Kansas State (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) has struggled so far this season.
this season.
But the Sooners (5-0, 2-0) aren't spending too much time looking backward. They're focused on not letting it happen again.
This year's game will have some similarities, but many differences.
Once again, Oklahoma comes in on a roll and the Wildcats have three blemishes on their record. Stoops will again face former mentor Bill Snyder, and White and Sproles return as the most recognizable offensive stars.
But the differences start there. No conference title will be at stake and the stars
game will be at Kansas State's home stadium instead of a somewhat-neutral Kansas City site.
More importantly, the Sooners now have the country's fourth-leading rusher, Adrian Peterson, at running back and the Wildcats are without departed veteran quarterback Ell Roberson.
Roberson.
Also, the Wildcats haven't had time to rebound from their losses and build momentum heading into the game. They'll instead be looking to turn their season around.
"More than anything, they have our attention and we recognize them as a strong opponent, a team that is very capable and a team that beat us a year ago." Stoops said.

The hot spot of the week takes a trip to the land of Orange, where the Cowboys will celebrate their homecoming this weekend in a colorful style.
"All of the streets and store windows were painted orange at the beginning of the week," said Cory Cart, marketing and public relations coordinator of the Stillwater Visitors Bureau. "This is going to be a huge weekend with so much to do. We are actually known to be America's largest homecoming celebration."
Before Friday night's soccer game, head to downtown Stillwater at the heart of the city. The district is home to more than 50 locally owned shops and coffeehouses, and beautiful buildings line the streets.
The soccer teams clash at 7 p.m. Friday on Cowgirl Field on the Oklahoma State University campus. Tickets are still available and cost $7. The Cowgirls sit at 10-2-2, and the jayhawks come in to the game with a 12-2-0 record.
After rooting for the Jayhawks, head to the Strip, where all the action would take place during
the weekends. Cart said.
The seven-block strip, which boasts several bars and is similar to Massachusetts Street, sits just south of the campus. Popular watering holes include Tumbleweeds and Eskimo Joe's.
David Peal, Leawood senior, has been to Stillwater several times.
"Every year we would go down around Thanksgiving, and Eskimo Joe's is the place to be," Peal said. "They have good drinks and really nice people."
The two-story bar and grill serves food by day and drinks by night, making it a popular spot, Cart said.
"On games days, Eskimo Joe's is the place to be seen." Cart said.
There are 10 hotels in Stillwater ranging from the inexpensive Motel 6 to a more lavish and popular Atherton Hotel at OSU, located right on campus. This just underwent a five-million-dollar renovation.
This weekend's homecoming festivities in Stillwater include the "Friday night walk around," which features decorated Greek houses and massive mechanical floats. University officials expect 25,000 people to jam the streets of University Avenue to get a look. The avenue is located between campus and the Strip.
Before leaving Stillwater, stop by Boone Pickens Stadium and catch the football game between the Texas A&M Aggies and the No.15 Cowboys, who are 5-0.
If heading south of the border is in this weekend's plans, don't forget to pack your crimson and blue to support the Jayhawk soccer team in Orange country.

New player will provide stability for Denver team
DENVER — Bryon Russell has been to the playoffs every year but one and has played in the NBA Finals three times.
It's just the kind of experience the Denver Nuggets could use.
"A player like that can contribute on and off the court," Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik said.
It's easy to see why the Nuggets would think so.
Russell has been to the playoffs in 10 of his 11 seasons, going to the finals with Utah in 1997 and 1998.
"I feel like I can provide some kind of leadership," Russell said.
Russell had something rare by NBA standards at the start of his career: stability. Russell provided the Utah Jazz with a steady outside shooter and a superb on-the-ball defender, with his best season coming in 1999-00, when he averaged 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and set a career high with 128 steals.

Team tries to rekindle confidence
By Bill Cross
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITHER
At the midpoint of 2004 volleyball play, the Kansas volleyball team has seemingly played two distinct seasons.
In non-conference play, the Jayhawks won all nine games, including a match against Wisconsin that vaulted the team to its first top-25 ranking.
Less than a month ago, the Jayhawks had climbed to No. 21 in the USA Today/CSTV coaches' poll.
then they hit the Big 12 Conference. After dropping home matches to nationallyranked teams Texas and Nebraska, Kansas lost to Baylor for the first time since 2001. The losing streak stands now at five matches, and the Jayhawks' conference record is 1-6.
"We knew the Big 12 was going to be difficult," senior libero Jill Dorssey said. "It's really difficult, we're finding out."
Coach Ray Bechard said the team's recent struggles could be traced to a loss of confidence after early losses in conference play.
That's what we've got to try
"We knew the Big 12 was
going to be difficult It's really difficult, we're finding out."
Jill Dorsey Senior volleyball player
to regain," he said.
He said injuries, particularly at the outside hitter position, forced the team to re-shuffle its lineup.
Sophomore Jana Correa and senior Lindsey Morris both had early-season knee injuries. Correa has since reclaimed her spot in the starting lineup, but Morris, whom Bechard called the Jayhawks' "most valuable teammate," is out of action indefinitely.
"Everybody's going to have injuries, but ours seem to come at the same position," he said. "We've had to move some people around, and it really hasn't allowed us to get into a really smooth playing rhythm since."
Beachard experimented with different lineups that gave sophomore outside hitter Megan Hill
and freshman opposite hitter Tessa Jones their first career starts, but the team could not rekindle the hitting power of Correa.
In order to move on, the team needs to rekindle the confidence of the early season, Dorsey said.
"It's something you have to cope with and move on," Bechard said.
"That's a big positive that we look back to and remember how successful we were."
Junior middle blocker Josi Lima said the team's serving and blocked paving the way for its 10 victories, but they have been inconsistent this month.
"We need to be more stable," she said. "Sometimes we have a very good game, and another game we just throw away."
Dorsey said that passing was a highlight in practice in recent weeks.
Lima said the team's passing had contributed to poor hitting.
"Our hitting percentage is something that Coach has highlighted. It's a direct reflection of everything: our passing, our setting. Everything."
She said the team's preseason goal, to reach the Sweet 16 of December's NCAA tournament,
was still attainable.
"They might take eight or nine teams from this conference," she said of the selection committee. The Jayhawks are currently ranked 10th.
Bechard said the team needed to focus on the next game, not the tournament.
"We started the season with tremendous confidence," Dorsey said. "We're on the down side of our season right now."
The team is now focused on Iowa State. The Jayhawks play the Cyclones at 7 tonight in Ames, Iowa.
Bechard said Iowa State, who has not beaten Kansas since 1999, was different than other Big 12 teams Kansas had faced.
"They won't overwhelm you physically, but they're very consistent," he said. "They're one of the top digging teams in the Big 12."
"It doesn't matter who were playing at this point," Bechard said. "We have to give every match our best effort."
The Jayhawks return home for a 7 p.m. match Saturday against the Missouri Tigers at Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Cross country team bound for Indiana during fall break

KANSAN SPORTSWITCHER
As Kansas students enjoy fall break this weekend, the Jahawk cross country teams will be back in action.
After a three-week hiatus from competition, the teams will run Saturday at the NCAA Pre-National meet in Terre Haute, Ind.
The Pre-National meet is held at the site of the NCAA Championships every year to prepare teams for both the course and the level of competition they hope to face at the national meet in November.
Such a large number of teams are participating in the meet 87 Division I men's and women's teams that the competition has been divided into two equally seeded races, a white race and a blue race, for both the men and the women.
Kansas distance coach Doug Clark said the women's goal is to finish in the top 20 in their six-kilometer race, while the men's
is to place at least in the top 10 in their eight-kilometer race.
Jessie Violand, Wildwood Mo., sophomore, said she was excited to race again after three weeks off, during which time the team has been through five tough interval workouts.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said the intensity of training has gone up since the Roy Griak Invitational in St. Paul, Minn., on Sept. 25.
"They've been doing more race-related work," he said. "The athletes are aggressive and ready to go."
The race, hosted by Indiana State, will be held on the same course as the 2002 NCAA Championships.
Mike Putzke, New Buffalo,
Mich., junior, raced the course
twice during his two years at
Western Michigan before transferring to Kansas this season.
"It's pretty wide open, so the turns aren't too tight," he said. "Overall, it's a good course, and it has great footing."
Putzke said a fast start would be crucial.
"When you race against the nation's best teams, they take it out from the gun," he said. "That's how it will be."
Clark said the race will be extremely competitive, but added that the Roy Griak meet gave the Jayhawks early-season exposure to racing in large meets.
"When you're in a race like we saw in Minnesota or Pre-Nationals where you've got hundreds of people, it's a lot different than the smaller meet we had at KU earlier in the year or the K-State meet," he said. "I think running in that type of competitive environment in Minnesota should prepare us for Pre-Nationals."
The women's blue race will start at 11 a.m. followed by the white race at 11:35 a.m. The men's blue race is at 12:10 p.m.; white, 12:45 p.m. The meet coordinators have not yet released whether the Jajahkw teams will run in either the blue or white races.

Tigers' defense claws its way to top of Big 12
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri entered the season known for a potent offense, but it's the defense that is among the nation's best.
The Tigers (4-1, 2-0 Big 12)
are tops in the Big 12 and
ranked eighth nationally in
defense, allowing just 259 yards
per game. Missouri will get a
stern test Saturday with a game
at No. 9 Texas (4-1, 1-1), which
is coming off a 12-0 loss to second-ranked Oklahoma.
That is quite a departure from the 381 yards per game the Tigers allowed last season which ranked 64th. Before the season, coach Gary Pinkel said he hoped his team would crack the top third of the conference in defense.
Behind the unit's strong start, the Tigers sit alone atop the Big 12 North for the first time since the conference opened in 1996.
"We're improving," Pinkel said. "I'm very pleased that our defense is making progress, but we have to continue to work hard to get better, and I think we can."

No bad blood between Cardinals and Astros
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST LOUISE — In a display more commonly associated with hockey, the Los Angeles Dodgers congratulated the St. Louis Cardinals on the field after losing the decisive Game 4 of the National League Division Series.
Maybe it'll become a baseball tradition, too. There's a chance the Astros and Cardinals will show a similar display of sportsmanship after the NL Championship Series because there's been virtually no animosity between the teams.
Biggio's first reaction when he saw players from opposing teams shaking hands and embracing was "Wow, that's kind of classy."
"There's a big-time mutual respect," Astros left fielder Craig Biggio said. "I think there's a lot of professionalism on both sides."
kind of classy.
"But you've got to get the other side to reciprocate, especially if you're the one that wins."
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said all the feedback he's received has been positive, although he wasn't sure if the NLCS will have a similar coda. He and Astros manager Phil Garner have not discussed the topic.
"I don't know if it will come up," La Russa said. "I don't know if it's a one-time deal or you'll see it."
Cardinals reliever Steve Kline called it a "class act" by the Dodgers.
"There's a big-time mutual respect. I think there's a lot of professionalism on both sides." Craig Biggio

Houston Astros outfielder
"That's big for a lot of people to see that in baseball and in sports, period," Kline said. "In today's world everything is so competitive and it's hard to do, shake someone's hand right after you've lost."
"We are the best because we've got 108 wins. We've proved it. We are the best."
SECOND CHANCE
Cardinals third baseman Scott Rolen missed the 2002 NLCS after separating his shoulder in a division series baserunning collision. But he doesn't feel any extra incentive in his first shot since then, and his first NLCS period.
Still, everyone wasn't totally diplomatic yesterday, the day before the series began. Cardinals setup man Julian Tavares pulled no punches when assessing the relative strengths of the teams.
"There's nothing you can do about it."罗兰 said. "You don't
"We don't look at the Houston Astros like this is a great team," Tavarez said. "They are good but we are better than them.
hang your head getting a chance to play in the playoffs at any time, and right now is a great opportunity."
Even if he's not 100 percent. Rolen missed 16 games in September with a strained calf and enters the second round in a 3-for-29 slump because he's struggled with his timing.
La Russia said he'll take Rolen any day, even if he's not at his best.
"I'm not the only one hurt on the field," Rolen said. "There's a lot of guys out there playing hurt. You have a broken leg, you're going to try to get out there because we have a chance to play in a World Series."
"Every day that he didn't play I didn't think we had as good of a chance to win," La Russa said. "Every day he's in the ballgame I think we have a chance to win.
"Sometimes you have to go beyond the stats."
NO DEAL
The Astros resisted the temptation to unload Carlos Beltran at the trading deadline, a little more than a month after they acquired the star center fielder from the Royals. And just before their season took off.
Beltran said he had been told a few times by general manager Gerry Hunsicker that he would not be traded.
"I was a little bit worried for me," Beltran said. "But when we found a way to turn the season around... I knew that I was going to stay with the club and I was very happy."
Tigers take touted defense to land of the Longhorns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri entered the season known for a potent offense, but it's the defense that is among the nation's best.
The Tigers (4-1, 2-0 in the Big 12 Conference) are tops in the conference and ranked eighth nationally in defense, allowing just 259 yards per game. Missouri will get a stern test Saturday with a game at No. 9 Texas (4-1, 1-1), which is coming off a 12-0 loss to second-ranked Oklahoma.

Behind the unit's strong start, the Tigers sit alone atop of the Big 12 North for the first time since the conference opened in 1996.
"We're improving," Pinkel said. "I'm very pleased that our defense is making progress, but we have to continue to work hard to get better, and I think we can."
Missouri allowed 438 yards, including 350 through the air, in a season-opening 25-20 victory against Arkansas State. Missouri has allowed 501 yards in its past three games combined.
"We're improving.I'm very pleased that our defense is making progress,but we have to continue to work hard to get better,and I think we can."
Gary Pinkel
Missouri Tigers coach
Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus cites an improved focus on fundamentals.
"If you execute those fundamentals, you have a good chance of doing a decent job on defense," he said. "If you don't, then you see guys passing the ball on you, running the ball on you; that's the way defense is. If you execute the calls and do it with good intensity, you have a good chance to stop people."
With an influx of athleticism, Missouri switched to a 4-3 base defensive scheme before the season. Now, as the players have grown more accustomed to the formation, the change is paying dividends.
"We made a couple mistakes (against Arkansas State) and they found them," linebacker James Kinney said. "When we watch film, we might make 50 good plays, but we're going to
stress the 10 or 12 plays that we messed up on. You're not going to be perfect, but there are definitely things that can be avoided."
A top contributor from 2003 sparked the defense in Missouri's 30-10 win at Baylor on Saturday. Defensive end Brian Smith led the Tigers with eight sacks as a true freshman last season, but after losing the starting job to Xzavie Jackson in training camp, he struggled to contribute off the bench.
Three sacks and a forced fumble against the Bears changed that. Kinney said Smith's increased contributions will only help an already strong defensive line.
"It's huge," Kinney said. "He's real slippery and real quick off the ball. It's good to see him get a lot of time now."
The Tigers also forced four Baylor turnovers and have already recorded more interceptions this season (10) than they forced in 2003 (nine).
Behind tailback Cedric Benson and quarterback Vince Young, the Longhorns average 313.6 rushing yards per game, second-most in the country.
"We've got to just keep our intensity up," safety Jason Simpson said. "We have a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of energy channeling through our defense. We've just got to keep helping each other, lifting us up and being positive."

Todav's Birthday (Oct. 13).
You'll have an easier time finding exactly the right words. If you start telling stories about yourself, however, take care. Think about how you can teach others not to make the same mistakes. You'll do it through love.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is an 8.
As negotiations go on, continue to stay in the background. Your past deeds speak more eloquently that any argument you could provide. Make sure the competition knows what those are; then keep your mouth shut.
The objective is not to work harder even though that may seem like the only way to get the job done. Use your brains, and save your back.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 10.
They say the most erogenous area in the human body is actually the brain. Use yours to make tonight especially remarkable.
HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 5.
A family meeting leads to a conversation that's long overdue. Tempers may flare, but don't worry. Cookies and milk solve the problem.
Loo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8.
You're smart and getting smarter, with all the reading you're doing. If you're not, get started. Conditions are perfect. You haven't a moment to lose!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 5.
You could do well financially with a project started now. Do you have a business of your own? Do you have a passion? Put them together in writing, and catch the good luck of this moment.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 9.
You have a way of telling stories that captures the imagination. You mesmerize, but that's not the point. Your objective should be to teach them how to think on their own. That's more fun, and more important.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 4.
Clean out your in-basket, your
garage and even your closets.
Make room for all the new activities you'll be thinking up soon.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Todav is a 7.
The party goes on, and you're apt to discover some valuable information. Keep them all talking, and you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5.
Sometimes you may be considered a little bit bossy, but that is actually one of your natural talents. Help a confused person make a decision.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8.
You have a dream that's your motivation. This may seem a little strange since you're generally a rather analytical type, but don't worry about it. Keep the faith.
Pisces is the sign of giving. You can think of a person who'd like just about every item you see in the store. Stay within your budget! It's the thought that counts!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 4.

VOTER DRIVE
Registration ends today
Deadline for forms set for 5 p.m.
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
ahylan STAFF WRITER
Today is the deadline for Douglas County residents to register to vote in the Nov. 2 election.
All voter registrations need to be submitted to the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St., by 5 p.m. today, said Jason Boots, community affairs director for Student Senate.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board (SLAB) will also register voters on Wescoe Beach and in the Kansas Union until 3 p.m. today, and afterwards it will take those registrations to the courthouse.
Boots said another option is to go down to the courthouse in person to register.
So far, he said, SLAB has registered around 3,500 voters as of Wednesday, and a final count will begin today.
Boots said that was more than any voter drive in the history of SLAB, which began in 1994.
That figure did not include registrations it had received from several greek organizations, he said.
SLAB is not the only organization registering voters this election season.
The KU Young Democrats have also registered voters on Wescoe Beach every Monday and Wednesday, said Bryan Behgam, vice-president of the Young Democrats.
They forwarded those registrations on to the Douglas County Democratic Party, where they were sent to the courthouse.
He said they have registered 660 voters so far, and they hope to get several hundred more tomorrow in an effort he called "a registration blitz."
Some members of the Young Democrats also wore buttons on their backpacks asking people to ask them how to register, he said.
If a student was asked about it, they had voter registration forms available in their backpack.
The Young Democrats would then forward those along with the rest, Beham said.
He said that he hoped those registrations would turn into success for his party in November.

"If we get a good portion of the people we've signed up to vote to vote, I think it will be a success for us," he said.
Josh Steward, vice chairman of the KU College Republicans, said his group didn't do a lot of voter registration drives on campus.
"SLAB is doing a lot of work in that area, and we don't want to step on their toes." he said.
He said that registering random peo
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
What: Register to vote in Douglas County for the November elections.
Where: Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. or around campus with various student groups.
When: Must be done by 5 p.m. today to vote in November.

ple on campus probably wouldn't benefit his group politically.
His group prefers to register voters in more conservative groups, like their own meetings and the greek community. Steward said.
Olathe fire kills family of student

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Fall break brought tragedy to one University of Kansas student.
Kameron Orr, Olathe sophomore, is mourning the death of her parents and three brothers who died in a house fire early Saturday morning.
She was in Lawrence when the fire occurred.
One brother, Justin, 23, escaped the home at 15643 W. 150th St. and called 911 from a neighbor's house at 4:49 a.m., said Mike Hall, public information officer for the Olathe Fire Department.
He survived but was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Hall said.

Group says education funding still lacking
By Ross Fitch

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas colleges and universities are facing problems from lack of higher education funding, and the State Legislature doesn't seem interested in helping, said members of a Kansas group advocating higher education funds Wednesday.
The Citizens for Higher Education gave a presentation at the University of Kansas Wednesday about the benefits of higher education and the problems tight budgets cause for the Kansas economy.
The group is a nonprofit organization formed in 2002 dedicated to researching, educating and informing the public about the importance of higher education and its impact on the Kansas economy. Members went on a statewide campaign to discuss the group's findings and advocate increased higher education funds. Bill Hall, organization chairman, was the primary speaker. Fellow founding member Bill Taylor also spoke.
Hall suggested three answers to the funding problems: a state-supported tuition increase, expansion of funding

Bar owners still angered by ban
It's been 110 days since the smoking ban went into effect on July 1, and some bars and restaurants are starting to become more open about how much it is affecting their businesses.
In January through June, the sixth months before the city-wide smoking ban, Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., saw an 8.6 percent increase in sales.
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY

KANSAN KAST WRITE
Following the ban, the price of alcohol increased because of a rise in property taxes and alcohol costs. In July through September, Neverve noticed a 2 percent increase in sales, but the percentage included the cost increase.
Without the price increase, Neverve said he saw a 6.5 percent decrease in sales.

tossed dozens of T-shirts into the stands. For the first time, the women's team scrimmaged at the event. And the basketball team members performed skits.
But nobody stole the show on Saturday night like Aaron Miles, Keith Langford, Mike Lee and Wayne Simien. When the four seniors on the men's basketball team were introduced just after 11 p.m., the crowd jolted to an exhilarating applause. The ensuing skit resulted in the same kind of laughter.

the seniors broke out the 1988 NCAA championship trophy as a prop for their skit, which mimicked a dream sequence. In their skit, the four seniors appeared on the court at Allen Fieldhouse in tuxedos. Danny Manning, a member of the 1988 championship team, stood behind a podium and read a list of what it takes to be a champion. The four seniors vowed to do all of those things.
"You may touch the trophy," Manning said afterwards.

J. R. Giddens, sophomore guard, shows off some dance moves for the crowd at Late Night in the Phog Friday. He, Jeremy Case and Nick Bahe performed a Temptations song as part of one of the skits before Friday night's scrimmage.
Next, Simien picked up the microphone and the crowd erupted. R.Kelly's Step blasted from the speakers, and the seniors began to dance. Miles took the microphone, and the rest of the team came onto the court and formed a circle. Miles called on each member of the team to dance in the middle, and the next 10 minutes looked like a scene from Saturday Night Fever — rap style — as the song changed to Snoop Dogg's Drop it like it's hot.
Before that, the junior class members put on "Late Night with the Juniors." They made a list of the top 10 things to do, see and hear this basketball season

Suspects deny murder charges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Three suspects have pleaded innocent in the shooting deaths of a St. Joseph couple.
In three separate arraignments, Buchanan County Judge Ronald Taylor read each man the charges against him, while family members of the victims listened and wiped away tears.
Terrell Eugene Dawson, 24, and Javanty R. Steward, 22, pleaded innocent Friday to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the April 25 shooting deaths of Danny Watson Jr. and Dawn Thornton.
Kenderal Rogers, 19, pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree murder for his role in the homicides.
Bond was denied for Dawson and Steward; a $500,000 bond had already been set for Rogers.
"It's the first time we've seen them, and it won't be the last," said Gloria Watson, Watson's mother.
The three remain in custody, where they face charges of kidnapping, armed criminal action and robbery in the first degree.
"It's just heartbreaking."
The three were named as suspects in May after they were charged in Jackson County with kidnapping a St. Joseph man the night before the victims' bodies were found by their children.

Hispanic HIV numbers rising
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Hispanics in Kansas have the fastest-growing number of new HIV infections and could eclipse blacks as the group with the highest HIV rate. health officials say.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported last week that new HIV cases among Hispanics are being diagnosed at twice the rate of blacks and more than four times that of Caucasians.
Blacks in Kansas still have the highest rate of HIV cases, with about 66 of every 100,000 infected, the health department said. About 44 of every 100,000 Hispanics and 10 out of every 100,000 Caucasians are infected.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said denial, poverty and substance abuse are among the risk factors.
"We don't acknowledge it even exists," said registered nurse Patty Larrega, who is certified to do HIV testing and works with Latino clients in Wichita. "In our culture, it's comparable to mental health. Families shun it."
to pay, see more than 10,000 patients a year.
While part of the reason for the rising number of HIV cases among Hispanics is the state's rapidly growing Hispanic population, experts say other factors also contribute to the increase.
The clinic also has an outreach program that provides HIV/AIDS information at such places as fiestas, general health fairs, gay bars and drug rehabilitation centers.
The Hunter Health Clinic in Wichita says about 2,400 Hispanics are tested annually for the virus that causes AIDS. The clinic, which offers health care for people regardless of their abili-
"We work so diligently because the problem is so great," said Pam Harjo, director of community services who also works in the clinic's HIV/AIDS department.
To slow the spread of the disease, local and national health organizations encourage Hispanics to practice safer sex, take precautions when handling blood and bodily fluids, avoid sharing needles or syringes and get regular testing.

'Super Size Me's screening director to speak tonight
STATE
After two women tried to sue McDonalds for making them obese, Morgan Spurlock got an idea for a documentary.
CAMPUS
MANHATTAN — Ten months later, Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry finally paid up.
Spurlock, a healthy male with 11 percent body fat at the time, decided to perform an experiment on himself.
He would eat nothing but McDonald's extra value meals three times a day for a month.
The results are central to his newly released documentary.
The documentary won Spurlock the Best Director Award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
He enlisted the help of three doctors and a nutritionist to track his progress.
Super Size Me focuses on the American fast food obsession and takes a look at what children today are being served in lunchtrooms across America.
Spurlock will speak at 7 tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. He will screen his documentary then recount the toll the experience took on his body, mind and wallet.

Safety forum for social work highlights cautionary advice
Henry lost a bet with Kansas Gov.
More than 200 people are expected to attend a social worker safety forum tonight at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus, Matt Zenner, said.
Zenner, who will be one of more than four speakers tonight, has been a social worker safety advocate since the murder of his wife, KU graduate student, Teri Lea Zenner in August.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 to 8:30 tonight in Reigner Hall. An open forum will follow panel speakers.
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kan) is hosting the event and speakers will include David Wiebe, director of Johnson County Mental Health, Catherine Crisp, assistant professor of social welfare, Tonja Spear, Wyandotte Center for Community Behavioral Health Care and Walter Way, Johnson County Sheriff's office.
Zenner said the panel would discuss the physical dangers social workers face as well as options workers have to protect themselves.
Front PageNewsSports
Some of the options that will be discussed are items Zenner has been advocating such as a cell phone with an outside button to contact health care authorities and more self-defense training.
Zenner will team with Moore and address Congress about safety issues concerning social work around either the end of this year or the beginning of next year, he said.

QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL KANSAS KIDS
WHERE SENATOR BUHLER STANDS ON EDUCATION: We owe our children adequately funded public schools. And because we compete regionally and nationally for quality students, faculty, staff, and facilities, we can't continue to neglect the many important issues relating to higher education. Next year's legislature must set high standards for education for the next decade.I'll pledge to be part of the solution for children in our communities and at our universities. We can do this.Together.
I would appreciate your vote November 2nd.

Service offers alternative ride home in your own car
Lawrence residents Tobias Souders, left, and James Harmon started S-Man Transportation in August. Souders came up with the idea for his transportation service watching Comedy Central's Insomniac.
BY JOHN JORDAN
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Greyson Twist, Anthony senior, finished drinking several beers downtown with some friends. He had a good time but did not want to get into any trouble driving home.
After a quick call on his cell phone, Twist left the bar and headed to his car. A few minutes later he was safely on his way home.
Twist did not drive drunk. Twist called S-Man Transportation Services, a business started in August by 24- year-old Lawrence resident Tobias Souders.
Souders picks up the customer and drives his or her car home. He is trailed by co-worker James Ashley Harmon, who follows in another car.
Twist knows all about the benefits having his car returned home safely.
"There's nothing worse than being hung-over and trying to find your car," he said.
Souders wants to set his service apart from other services in Lawrence by avoiding problems such as vandalism, theft and parking tickets.
S-Man Transportation faces competition from the University's SafeRide program, as well as from local taxi services.
Souders charges $5 per ride. Midwest Taxi Service charges $8 per ride for the first passenger, plus $1.50 per each additional rider.
Manager Dave Old said rate had increased from $6 since Midwest acquired Lawrence Taxi Service and became the only provider in Lawrence. SafeRide is free for KU students and is available from 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. seven days a week.
Paul Karrer, Omaha, Neb. sophomore, said SafeRide was one of the coolest things he's heard about at the University.
"It's good for people who are
not only too drunk, but also people who are plain lazy," Karrer said.
Karrer said he had used SafeRide about 10 times and that it was definitely something any large campus should have.
In 2003 SafeRide gave around 33,000 rides home, said Tim Akright, KU on Wheels transportation coordinator.
SafeRide only takes students with a valid KUID, and it only takes students to their place of residence.
Souders hopes to appeal to a more students by offering to take them to any Lawrence destination — home, another party or a bar.
It is funded by campus fees paid through tuition by all KU students.
"Either way you still don't to have your car," said Souders.
According to the KU on Wheels Web site, SafeRide will only take students home.
S-Man Transportation currently employs Souders and one of his friends. A customer must present a valid proof of insurance and sign a waiver allowing Souders to drive.
The idea to chauffeur people home in their own cars began in the United Kingdom.
Souders said that before, students only had the option of paying outrageous prices or taking SafeRide.
Drivers for London's ScooterMan take English customers home in their car and then ride gas-powered scooters
Souders also originally used a scooter, an idea he picked up from Comedy Central's *Insomniac*. The scooter enabled Souders to work alone. He could drive to the customer, put the scooter in the trunk of the car and then be able to leave from the customer's destination when he was finished.
Souders said no one objected to the scooter when he registered the business with the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
I t's good for people who are not only
too drunk,but also people who are plain lazy."
Paul Karrer Omaha, Neb., sophomore
However, one night he was pulled over by a city police officer and told he could not drive it.
After failed attempts to register his scooter with the city, Souders is now petitioning to allow the scooter's use.
Souders used to work for SafeRide, and said he has not had nearly as much business as SafeRide. He said that business has been slow but steady so far.
He said his busiest nights are Tuesdays and Thursdays and he has two regular riders. He has posted flyers in bars and on cars throughout town and also ans ad in the Pub Crawl magazine.
Souders said he hoped the advertising would reach students who frequent bars in Lawrence, like Greyson Twist.
Twist said he liked the service and he would probably use it again.
"I do not need to be leaving my car downtown." Twist said.
"I've gotten four tickets leaving my car on Mass Street. The tickets are only $2, but since I haven't paid them, they're all $10 tickets now."
S-Man Transportation operates seven days a week from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. It can be reached at 550-1368.
Editor's note: During a standard background check, the Kansan found that James Ashley Harmon was charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident in June 1994. In November 1997 he was fined $106 for speeding.

Close election race ending Do your democratic duty
Fourteen months ago the 2004 campaign was already underway in small towns in Iowa and New Hampshire as Howard Dean, Dick Gephardt, Joe Lieberman and John Kerry, among others, sought the Democratic nomination against an incumbent president whose poll numbers rendered him virtually 'unbeatable' in the age of the war on terror.
Now, with fourteen days to go until Election Day, we find ourselves watching with considerable awe as both parties careen towards an election that neither can afford to lose.
National polls show a virtual dead-heat, as both campaigns have zeroed in on a list of no more than a dozen swing/battleground states. These are states whose citizens have been bombarded with advertisements and official visits for months now and will suffer one more blitz in these waning days.
The candidates fulfilled their role in the debates, but those events, which were remarkably more productive than most observers had expected, were way too early before the election and still provide a window for an 'October surprise' that is out of the control of either the president or the senator.
Nevertheless, the pictures of both candidates have been more or
less shaped, and in the broad strokes of the policies and personalities that we have seen thus far, the choice is indeed a clear one. For all of the grumbling from third party supporters about a lack of difference between the Democratic and Republican Parties, the party standard bearers represent diametric opposites in almost every policy and in how they would pursue those policies. Voters should be so lucky to have a choice like this
Thus, with but a fortnight to go in this historic (and some might say, excruciating) campaign season, voters have gotten precisely what 24-hour cable news networks and almost a billion dollars in expenditures can provide: a cliffhanger election. It will be dramatic for the pundits and it will be explosive for both parties (in ways that will become very apparent the day after), but for the vast majority of voters, it is a simple, yet thankless job: the fulfillment of a democratic responsibility.
For many students, this may be your first election. Please do not take it lightly (despite what you watch on The Daily Show); do not take it for granted (especially if your home address is in Florida); and do not procrastinate. We're all on the clock, and our fourteen days starts now.

If you missed the debates, a SUMMARY
Zach Stinson/KANSAN
Palestinians must abandon terror
"To understand the difference between the Palestinians and Israelis, you have to understand the difference between arsonists and firefighters."
FRESH ARRAH
Larry Elder
Last month, Mazim Qumsiyeh, a Palestinian American and member of the "Wheels of Justice Tour," gave an account of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict based on half-truths. He insisted that there are not just two sides to the conflict, but thousands and even millions of sides. Everyone is entitled to their own "side," but that doesn't mean that all sides are morally equivalent or equally fact-based.
KRISTI TRAVIS
Delta Force, Kansans for a Just Peace in the Middle East, the ACLU and all the other sponsors of the "Wheels of Justice Tour" apparently believe that they are champions of the oppressed. In actuality they are champions of the oppressors.
The real oppressors are the Palestinian leaders and those who support them. Throughout the 73-year conflict, the Palestinians have used terrorism as a first resort. They have rejected "land for peace" deals every time they've been proposed: in 1937, 1948, 1949 and most recently in 2001. The Palestinian's main objective is the annihilation of Israel, not statehood. A 2003 poll released by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion revealed that 59 percent of Palestinians believe that terrorists should continue to attack Israel even if a Palestinian state containing Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem is created.
But the results of that poll won't surprise anyone who recalls the 2000-01
ARRAH NIELSEN
opinion@kansan.com
Barak-Clinton peace proposals when Yasser Arafat was offered a Palestinian state with a capital in Jerusalem, 30 billion dollars in refugee compensation, and "about 97 percent of the occupied territories" according to the March 24, 2003, issue of The New Yorker. Arafat rejected the offer and made no counterproposal.
Qumsiyeh called Israel a "colonization effort." This is profoundly ridiculous. Israel comprises roughly 1/600 of the land mass of neighboring countries and possesses the military might to control the entire region. But the only time Israel gains territory is when it is attacked by hostile neighbors which was the case in 1947, 1948, 1967 and 1973.
Qumsiyeh made much of the fact that more Palestinians than Israelis have been killed in the conflict. But he didn't mention that this figure includes Palestinian suicide bombers, Palestinians killed from the tradition of firing live ammunition at protests and funerals, Palestinians killed making bombs and Palestinians who die because they refuse medical attention.
Phyllis Chester writes in The New Anti-Semitism that, "On the Israeli side 80 percent of those killed were noncom
batants, most of whom were women and girls. Of the Palestinian deaths over 95 percent were male. Palestinians purposefully went after women, children, and other armed civilians, and Israeli's fought against armed male soldiers who were attacking them."
Terrorism should not be rewarded with statehood.
The moral relativists can insist all they like that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," but no reasonable person fails to grasp the difference between unintentionally killing civilians in a military operation in response to an attack (as the Israeli army has) and deliberately machine gunning to death 18 nursery school children and teachers (as Palestinian snipers have.)
Far from being an imperialist oppressor, Israel serves as a shining example to be emulated. Though Israel contains no oil reserves, it has a vibrant economy with a gross domestic product approaching western European nations. It is the only country in the region with a free and open press and a democratic government where citizens of all nationalities and religions enjoy equal rights.
If the Palestinians desire a future of statehood, peace and prosperity, they'll abandon terrorism as a tactic and focus on a compromise instead of hate and terrorism. Israel has sacrificed greatly for peace, but the Palestinians must hold up their end of the bargain. The lives of the innocent depend on it.

Fur fashion trend cruel mistake
"Millions of fur-bearing animals — including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others — are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating," according to www.peta.org.
Where is PETA — People for Ethical Treatment of Animals — when we need it? Its presence feels nonexistent as real fur once again sadly trumps the fashion runways.
JAYME ASCHEMEYER
opinion@kansan.com
Welcome to the harsh actual world. Express World Brand is now selling baby pink rabbit earmuffs for a mere $32. Express has come a long way since being my fashion staple in high school — its models keep getting skinier, its clothes keep getting skankier and now its accessories are controversial so the middle class can afford real fur too.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Thank God, I already cut up my Gold Membership card.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Fake fur, with all of its lifelike quality, flourished last season when fake fur collars were accelerating and trend setters like Sarah Jessica Parker donned
Two years ago Christmas was ruined when my mother received an absolutely gorgeous fur coat. I was so appalled that she could wear it without shame and wondered why she did not automatically think of animal cruelty. Apparently, my mother still cherishes this coat, but I still feel justified in my disgusted response. As the new fashion trend of the winter takes hold, I despondently feel that our generation is lacking this
the essential element. Currently, Paris Hilton can be seen with the real thing, with her dog in tow. What a message that brainy Paris is sending. I wonder how she would feel if poor Tinkerbell's foot was stuck in a trap and he suffered for days? But if Paris is doing it, well, then it has to be in style.
same compassion in exchange for greed and signs of affluence.
As a vegetarian and a cat owner, I feel guilty for even smashing a bug inside my house. How can these trend setters be content with themselves after literally taking the fur (and skin) off of another animal's back? There is just no reason to decorate oneself with fur.
In Newsweek's recent fashion expose on fur, Julie Scalfe wrote that this un-PC stance is "an attitude more and more people seem to be adopting." Wonderful, for the 2003 record 1.8 billion dollars in sales on real fur. But most of what makes trends simply a fad involves liberation from basic needs. Fur is no longer a necessity to survive harsh winters. Real fur involves real animals that real people have chosen to wear, regardless of the costs. Please educate yourself before going winter shopping and making the tragic mistake of purchasing the new BCBG rabbit poncho. Someday, some rabbit may thank you.

"I think it is pretty evident that J.R. likes the crowd, and Aaron likes the crowd for sure." Self said.
The crowd of about 15,500 people proved that fall break did not hurt late night's attendance. The enthusiastic fans stayed for more than three hours of entertainment, pounding their blue thunderstix the whole time. Self said he was impressed with the turnout.
"It's a pretty special thing when you can do that without students on campus," he said.
Women's basketball coach Bonnie Hendrickson made her first Late Night debut shortly after 10 p.m. she received a

standing ovation from the Jayhawk faithful. Henrickson spoke to the crowd, saying she had all sorts of reasons to come
to the University of Kansas.
"But you just gave me 16,000 more," she said.
she said the women's team
was creating history by playing at Late Night for the first time.
Because NCAA rules prohibited
Henrickson from being
involved with the scrimmage, which took place before midnight, Governor Kathleen Sebelius took Henrickson's place on the sideline for the women's eight-minute scrimmage.
The KU alumnae said she was happy to see the women's basketball team represented at tip off.
"It is time we have the women at late night." Sebelius said.
Chelsea Hudson and Bethany Stanbrough, Emporia sophomores, said they had a great time watching their friend get hypnotized.
Fredy Cisneros volunteered when Silver, asked for people who wanted to be hypnotized. Silver came on at the beginning of the show to ask for volunteers and came back later with 10 hypnotized audience members.
"Fredy is known for doing very stupid things," his friends said.
Silver gave instructions. Cisneros was told to act like Jean Simmons, the lead singer of the band Kiss.
It was definitely a night that Lydia Reasons would not forget. Her boyfriend of two years proposed marriage to her early in the night. Riley Swanson, made the proposal and then held up a newspaper that read, "She said yes," similar to what the students do when the visiting teams are introduced.
He said late night was the perfect time to ask Reasons.
A five-minute video highlighting the history of Kansas basketball was shown just before midnight.
"We have been coming her for a lot of years," said Swanson, who drove all the way from Hutchinson. "She is a huge KU fan."
The phrase "17 players, with one goal, with one destination," opened the video. "April 2005 Dream" were the last words to appear on the video screen before the scrimmage. That set the mood for the men's warm ups, scrimmage, and for the players, the season.
Self said the team was ready to get the season started.
"They are excited," he said.
"Things continue to get better."
EDUCATION: Group talks of three-prong attack

after beyond the 12th grade and an effort to call state legislators.
Hall defended more tuition increases — but in tandem with state support — by saying the money would keep high-quality faculty at the University and enhance students' education and diplomas.
"You want tremendous value in your diploma." Hall said, "and you want a value that is rising."
A KU diploma is wellrespected in any job market right now, especially in business, he said.
"It is not adequate to expect students will end their education after high school," he said.
"They need to go on."
The second solution was for legislators and officials to think in terms of funding for kindergarten to the 16th grade instead of kindergarten to the 12 grade.
The third solution was to voice public concern.
The mood of the Legislature is not with us, and the upcoming Legislature will be less sympathetic to higher education, he said.
Provost David Shulenburger attended the meeting and agreed that the Legislature needed to start acting as a partner with Kansas colleges and universities.
"The students have done their part," Shulenburger said. "It's time for the Legislature to do their part."
Hall and Taylor stressed the important benefits of higher education on the Kansas economy.
Highlights included the creation of 116,000 jobs; $5.2 billion in economic contribution; and a difference of $23,914 between the average annual earnings among those with a
Bachelor's Degree and those with only a high school diploma.
Colleges and universities generate students and ideas that can attract the industries of tomorrow, Hall said.
That's why this is an important issue for everyone who wants to be employed in Kansas, he said.
"This isn't just a university issue," Hall said. "It's a state issue."
Even with the benefits of higher education on the Kansas economy, Kansas colleges and universities are at the bottom levels of Big 12 Conference states in many areas.
According to the organization's 2003 findings, Kansas' funding per-student ranked next to last in front of Colorado, which had out-of-state tuition similar to Ivy League schools.
The average salaries for faculty at the University of Kansas and

supplied room and board.
Highly-educated employees students and visitors spend nearly $2 billion in Kansas annually, over and above tuition, fees and university
Higher education-related jobs and sales generate over $281 million in state income and sales tax revenue annually.
Higher education community activities are responsible for almost 116,000 instate jobs, more than 8 per cent of Kansas' employed work force.
Higher education contributes to the economic wellbeing of every State Senatorial District, including more than $100 million in 16 of the 40 districts.
In the Lawrence area's Second Senatorial District, the benefits from higher education-related activities represent over $674 million in overall economic benefit; 12,713 jobs; and $35.7 million in state tax revenues.

Kansas State University are also well below other Big 12 states.
Overall, the total additional state funding needed is about $184 million per year, Hall said. $127 million is needed to cover the enrollment and inflation shortfall and to reach the Big 12 average for funding per-student. The remaining $57 million is
needed to reach the Big 12 average for tuition.

"The students have done their part," Shulenburger said. "It's time for the Legislature to do their part."
Students can vote for legislators that favor higher education, he said, and they can be a constant presence before the Legislature.
They can also encourage their parents to get involved.

Koehn said there was an increase of families coming in after the ban. The crowd before the ban was about 80 percent smokers, Koehn said.
Even if the ban is voted out in February, it has already done its damage. Koehn said.
He is starting to look toward improving the patio for the winter by putting up wind blockers and heaters. Matt Sullivan, director of operations at the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., said the ban has had the greatest impact on the shows and live music.
People can go to the Kansas City metro area and watch shows and smoke at the same time. Sullivan said.

There could be other factors affecting business.
There has been real growth in the number of restaurants that serve alcohol and bars coming into town, said Kathy Bruner, chairwoman of Clean Air Lawrence, a group that supports the smoking ban.
"It is a painful transition, but every transition is painful," Bruner said.
The Kansas Licensed Beverage Association is handing out surveys to local businesses to get a grasp of the effects from the ban, said Phil Bradley, executive director of the association.
Businesses have suffered a 15 to 38 percent decrease in overall sales. Bradley said.
The ban has also affected restaurant and bar employees who rely on tips.
Kansas City, Kan. senior and waitress for Set'Em Up Jacks.
The dinner rush is still good, but tips have gone down for late at night, said Katy Bergin,
Bergin said her shift time determined her income.
Kaplan hasn't seen many customers who normally visited the bar since the ban went into effect.
Tips are the bulk of Christine Kaplan's income. Kaplan works as a bartender at the Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave.
She said that if you weren't a closer, or one of the last employees to leave, you could expect a ten to twenty dollar drop in nightly tips.
She said all they wanted to be able to do at the end of the day was sit down and have a beer and cigarette.
"The two just go together"
Kaplan, who is a smoker, said.
The upsides are that Kaplan's smoking has decreased and she doesn't have to take a shower every night after work because the smoky smell is gone.
The downside, Kaplan said, is that she is having a hard time supporting and feeding herself and the at-risk teens she decided to take into her home.
Kaplan said she was considering applying for food stamps.

Neighbors said the family lived in the southern portion of Olathe School District. One of Kyle's classmates brought out a yearbook to show reporters his picture.
Another neighbor said the Orr family was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was no stranger to tragedy.
The family lost one daughter last June to a brain tumor.
Most neighbors did not feel like talking about the situation, but came out to support each other and found out what happened as the sun came up.

One woman brought out a pot of coffee and cups to help warm firefighters, reporters and other neighbors.
Hall said investigators were still looking for the cause of the fire on Saturday morning, but most of the heavy fire and structural damage was downstairs.

Late Night scrimmage unimpressive

Kansas coach Bill Self thought the dancing was great. The basketball needs a little work.
After complimenting his players on their various dance moves and grooves from the annual Late Night in the Phog celebration Friday night, Self glanced down at his box score when asked about the highlight of the practice game.
"That was bad basketball there in the scrimmage," Self said. "We'll do a lot better than that."
In the end, the white squad finished with an 8-0 run to defeat the blue squad 27-24 in the 20-minute scrimmage.
Offensively, freshman forward Alex Galindo and senior guard Keith Langford stood out for their respective teams.
Galindo led all scorers with 10 points, connecting on his first three shots including two three-pointers, while Langford showed no ill effects of his injured knee, scoring nine points on 4-of-7 shooting.
"I thought Keith, considering he hasn't done anything, moved pretty good. He's just out of shape," Self said. "I thought Alex made shots. Those two, as far as scoring the ball, played better."

shots and turnovers, did feature a few standout plays for the estimated 15,500 fans in attendance.
The most impressive of which came at the 10:02 mark, when freshman guard Russell Robinson lobbed a high-arching, half-court pass to a streaking J.R. Giddens, who finished with a two-handed slam for the blue suquid.
Not to be outdone, guard Aaron Miles showed his passing skills with 4 minutes remaining.
After grabbing a rebound, Miles bounced a behind-the-back pass between defenders to Galindo, who fed it to Mike Lee for an easy lay-in.
Lee added six points for the white team, while Giddens had a game-high five rebounds for the blue squad.
Self also used Late Night to showcase the basketball program to eight recruits.
Micah Downs, Mario Chalmer and Julian Wright, who have all committed to Kansas for next season, were in attendance.
Also in attendance were high school seniors Martynas Pocius, C.J. Henry, juniors Matt Bouldin and Jerry Smith, and sophomore Cole Aldrich.
Pocius, a 6-foot-5-inch guard originally from Lithuania, has narrowed his choices down to Kansas and Duke.
Self will likely offer him the lavhawks' final scholarship for next

Miles is expected to decide between Kansas, Georgia Tech and Texas at a press conference tomorrow.

He is expected to be taken in the 2005 MLB Draft.
He has yet to decide whether he will play basketball, minor-league baseball or both during college.
Bouldin, a 6-foot-5-inch forward, ranks 53rd in the class of 2006 according to Rivals.com, while Smith, a 6-foot-2-inch point guard, is 27th overall.
Aldrich, a 6-foot-10-inch sophomore center, is the sixth-best player in the class of 2007.

Benson Chesang placed third of 256 runners and was one of few bright spots for the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams Saturday at the NCAA Pre-National meet in Terre Haute, Ind.
Chesang, Eldama Ravine, Kenya, freshman, clocked an 8-kilometer time of 23:54.6 as the Jayhawks placed 22nd out of 37 teams in the men's blue race.
The competition was divided into two equally seeded races, a white race and a blue race, for both the men and the women.
Chesang, competing in just his second meet of the year, said he felt confident going into the race despite the 50-degree weather.

"It was kind of chilly," he said. "But I felt really good."
The Jayhawks' other runners finished far behind Chesang. The top five, who finished within 30 seconds of each other were: junior Matt French, 100th, senior Chris Jones, 107th, freshman Colby Wissel, 100th, freshman

"This race gave me a lot more confidence," Abbott said. "I wasn't too far behind some girls that will be in the conference meet."
Colorado also won the women's race, which included nine teams ranked in the top 30 nationally by the Women's Intercollegiate Cross Country Coaches Association.

"We lost our momentum," he said. "That's what we've got to try to get back."
The losing streak is gone, but the momentum was short-lived. Kansas defeated Iowa State 3-2, but lost at home against Missouri Saturday by the same count.
In Wednesday's match, the Jayhawks started fast, and looked as though they would easily extend their five-year winning streak against the Cyclones, after taking the first game, 30-23.
Looking to snap a five-match losing streak. The Kansas volleyball team played two five-game matches during fall break.
In the middle of the second set, Kansas scored six consecutive points to take a 20-18 lead, but three attack errors doomed the Jayhawks to a 29 - 31 loss.
The third game was tied at 25, but poor passing led to easy kills for the Cyclones, who defeated the Jayhawks 30-28.
In the deciding game, Kansas hit 400, jumping out to a 7-3 lead and winning 15-5.
The Jayhawks pulled away late in game four to win 30-24 and force their second five-game match of the season.
"Game four really won this match for us tonight, and we showed good signs in game five," Bechard said. "It was nice to get a hard-fought win."

Jake Schermer, Ozark, Mo., gave coach Mark Mangino a verbal commitment on Thursday.
While Kansas was the only school that had offered him thus far, he had also received interest from Iowa, Arkansas, Tulsa and Kansas State.
Schermer made his decision after seeing Kansas beat K-State, snapping that 11-game losing streak.
Expected to play linebacker, Schermer had planned on making his decision sometime after Thanksgiving.
This week, however, he decided he wanted to be able to focus on his current season and on his senior year.

"I told KU I would call them on Thursday morning," Schermer told rivals.com. "I talked to coach Blaney first and then to coach Mangino. When I talked to coach Mangino he welcomed me to the family and congratulated me."
Abby Pastor, Wichita freshman, and Aaron Bart, Lawrence freshman, do taekwando in front of Robinson Center. Pastor and Bart were some members of the KU Taekwando class who used yesterday afternoon to practice.
Joining Schermer with verbal commitments in the current recruiting class are Caleb Blakesley of Ottawa, Jose Rodriguez of La Puente, Calif., Darrell Stuckey of Kansas City, Kan. and Adam Wetly of Newton.

'Hawk tennis struggles at Eck Classic

KANSAN SPORTSWATER
The time off didn't help the Jayhawks, who had trouble with opponents all weekend.
Back for the first time since the Tulsa Invite on the third week of September, the Kansas women's tennis team headed to South Bend, Indiana, site of the Eck Classic Invitational at the University of Notre Dame this weekend.
On Friday, the Kansas team struggled with its opponents, Ohio State and Michigan State.
Kansas registered only one victory out of nine matches in singles competition: Freshman Stephanie Smith defeated junior Shelley Brady of Michigan State. 7-6, 6-4.
Against 41st ranked Ohio State, the Jayhawks were outplayed, as the Buckeyes dominated, sweeping all six singles matches as well as the doubles competition.
Junior Christine Skoda fell to senior Emily DeCamilla of Ohio State in three sets. 4,6,7,6,1-0 (10-3).
Freshman Lauren Hommell, who began her collegiate career with three consecutive victories, went winless, losing to senior Lindsey Adams in straight set fashion, 2-6, 3-6.
"Against Ohio State, we missed out on a few opportunities to gain an advantage and create better situations," said coach Amy Hall-Holt.
PETER MAYER
Aside from Skoda, the Jayhawks failed to earn a set against Ohio State.
In four singles matches versus Michigan State, the Jayhawks posted a 1-4 mark.
Skoda and Smith were commended for their improved level of play against Michigan State.
SMITH
"We played a lot better as a team against Michigan State," Hall-Holt said.
"I thought that Stephanie played an outstanding match and Christine also played much better," she said.
Kansas top doubles pair, Skoda and Hommell, were defeated by Ohio State's Emily DeCamilla and Caitlin O'Keefe, 3-8.
As of yesterday, the tag team of Skoda and Hommell was 3-3.
On day two of the Eck Classic, the Jayhawks continued to struggle against the some of the nation's talented programs.
On the first day of competition, Kansas went 1-9 in singles and 0-3 in doubles.
In doubles, Skoda and Hommell notched their team leading 3rd victory of the season in an 8-5 win over
Smith lost to sophomore Kristen James, 5-7, 1-6, in the closet match of the day for the Jayhawks.
Virginia won all four singles matches against Kansas.
Michigan State's Sarah Andrews and Shelley Brady.
On the second day of action, Kansas posted an 0-4 mark in singles and went 1-6 in doubles.
Kansas ended match play against Notre Dame on Sunday.
After two days of constant struggle, the Jayhawks were defeated by the Fighting Irish in both the singles and doubles competition.
In singles, junior Luiza Loureiro fell to Notre Dame's Sarah Jane Connelly in a tough three set match, 3-6, 6-3, 0-1 (10-4).
In doubles, Skoda and Hommell, despite their victory on Saturday over Michigan State, could not keep the momentum alive in a 4-8 loss to doubles pair Brook Buck and Lauren Connelly.
Next up for Kansas, a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the ITA Regionals. The event will take place on Oct. 20th thru Oct. 24th.

USC, OU to lead first standings for BCS
— Edited by Iohanna M. Maska
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
On the eve of the season's first Bowl Championship Series standings, No.1 Southern California increased its lead on No.2 Oklahoma in The Associated Press Top 25 yesterday.
Auburn slipped ahead of Miami to No.3 in the media poll for the first time this season.
Last week, the gap between the Trojans and Sooners had closed to 19 points — the smallest it has been all season — after USC edged California and Oklahoma shut out Texas. But on Saturday the Trojans played their best game, beating previously unbeaten Arizona State 45-7.
"This was an important statement — we left no doubt about it," USC coach Pete Carroll said.
The Sooners received 13 first-place votes, down 10 from last week, and 1,567 points. Oklahoma beat Kansas State 31-21.
The voters apparently took notice. USC received 50 first-place votes and 1,610 points and now leads Oklahoma by 43 points.
No. 3 Auburn received the remaining two first-place votes and slipped by No. 4 Miami after the Hurricanes had to rally for a 41-38 victory over Louisville on Thursday. The Tigers were 30 points ahead of Miami. Florida State is No. 5, and Wisconsin is sixth after winning a battle of beatmates at Purdue.
Auburn received its highest ranking in the AP poll since 1994. Wisconsin had its best showing since Sept. 10, 2000, when the Badgers were No. 4.
California, Texas, unbeaten Utah (6-0)
and Georgia round out the first 10
Notre Dame moved into the rankings for the first time this season at No. 24, while Ohio State dropped out for the first time in three seasons.
Those polls will each count for one third of a team's BCS ranking with a compilation of six computer rankings making up the other third. Also for the first time, the BCS standings will take into account how many votes a team receives in the polls, not just its ranking.
The first BCS standings will be released today. The new formula to determine a team's BCS points will take the AP and coaches poll into account more than ever before.
In the latest ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, USC and Oklahoma are Nos. 1 and 2, but Miami has a slight lead on No. 4 Auburn with Florida State No. 5. So expect the Trojans and Sooners to hold the coveted first two spots in the BCS standings. The top two teams after the regular season play in the Orange Bowl for the national championship.
The second 10 in the AP poll starts with Tennessee, followed by Purdue and Michigan. The Big Ten rivals meet next week in West Lafayette, Ind.
Virginia fell eight spots to No. 14 after a 56-3 loss at Florida State, West Virginia and Louisville tied for No. 15. The Cardinals moved up three spots after an impressive showing at Miami. Texas A&M moved up six spots to No. 17 after beating Oklahoma State, which fell six spots to No. 22. No. 18 LSU, unbeaten Boise State and Florida complete the top 20.

Swimmers kick off new season
While other students took it easy during Fall Break, the University of Kansas swimming and diving teams were far from relaxed.
The teams hosted a flurry of meets this weekend, starting with their season-opening dual against Big 12 opponent Texas on Thursday. The following day Kansas hosted the 2004 Big 12 Relays. Kansas wrapped up the weekend against Texas A&M yesterday in another Big 12 dual. All the action took place in Robinson Natatorium.
Kansas lost to Texas, 192-107, in the first dual meet. The highlight of the meet for the Jayhawks came in the 200-meter freestyle relay. Seniors Amy Gruber and Jackie Krueger, along with freshmen Anne Liggett and Terri Schramka, finished with a time of 1:36.07 to win the race. The 200 freestyle relay time was the fastest ever recorded by a Jayhawk team in Robinson Natorium
"I was really pleased with our team's performance tonight," coach Clark Campbell said. "The relay times were great and the team should be very proud of how they performed, especially this early in the season."
POLITICS
Gruber earned another win in the 50-meter freestyle and recorded a second place finish in the 100-meter freestyle. The Bigelow, Ark., native finished the 50-meter
GRUBER
free in a time of 23.84 and the 100-meter free in a time of 51.94. Junior Lindsay Urbatchka placed first in the 100-meter butterfly. She finished the race in a time of 57.62.
"Texas has a great program, one that will contend for the national title," Campbell said. "For us to go out and win a couple of races against a quality opponent, such as Texas, says a lot about how good our team can be."
In diving action, sophomore Shelby Noonan finished in second place in the one and three-meter events with total scores of 242.85 and 239.92 respectively.
On Friday, Kansas tied for third in the 2004 Big 12 Relays at Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks earned 60 points, as did Missouri. Both teams finished 34 points behind secondplace Texas. Texas A&M won the team championship. The meet consisted of 16 relays and
two flights of diving.
The meet, hosted by Kansas for the first time since 2000, was highlighted with a Kansas first-place finish in the meet's final event of the day, the 100-meter freestyle relay. It was the second consecutive meet in which the Jayhawks won in the final event. Gruber and Urbatchka along with Liggett and Schramkia finished with a time of 44.88 to win the race. The same four swimmers combined to finish second in the 200 freestyle event in a time of 1:36.97.
"We got to see a lot of racing and got a lot of people involved with each of the relays," Campbell said. "It was a good opportunity for us to see what we need to work on."
On the diving board, Noonan and freshman Bryn Conley combined to finish sixth in the one-meter competition. Noonan, Conley and junior Robyn Karlage earned a fifth place finish in the three-meter event.
"We shook some of the rust off and performed better in the second session today," Campbell said. "We are looking forward to finishing up this weekend with the meet against Texas A&M tomorrow."
Kansas finished the weekend with a lost to Texas A&M, 187-111, in a Big 12 dual on Saturday. The loss dropped the
Jayhawks' dual meet record to 0-2 on the season.
Gruber provided the highlight of the meet for the Jayhawks in the 100 butterfly event. She won the race in a time of 56.64 and finished second in the 200-meter freestyle with a time of 1:52.75. This marked the second consecutive dual meet that Gruber collected a win and a second-place finish.
"This weekend has been one of the toughest we have ever had," Campbell said. "We started to run out of gas towards the end."
Kansas recorded two other second-place finishes. Junior Gina Gnatzig placed second in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 10:26.67. The 400 freestyle relay team of Gruber, Gnatzig and Anne Liggett and Terri Schramka finished in second place in a time of 3:29.50.
Shelby Noonan led the Jayhawks divers again. She finished third in the three-meter event and fourth in the one-meter event.
The Jayhawks will face Southwest Missouri State in a dual meet at 6 p.m., Oct. 29, in Springfield, Mo. Kansas will then renew its Border Showdown rivalry with Missouri in a Big 12 dual meet at 1 p.m., on Oct. 30, in Columbia, Mo.

Struggling teams meet tonight in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — Of all times to be injured, Tyoka Jackson is about to miss his biggest rivalry game.
The St. Louis defensive lineman is doubtful for tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, for whom he played for five seasons, because of a pulled left hamstring. By his count he'd missed only one practice in his career before getting hurt.
"This is a bad time for me right now," Jackson said. "I don't like missing practices and the thought of missing a game is just killing me, it's tearing my heart out — especially against these guys."
The Rams (3-2) and Bucs (1-4) were two of the NFC's premier teams earlier in this decade and tonight will be their fourth straight meeting. Tampa Bay has won the last four regular-season matchups, although the Rams beat the Buccaneers in the 1999 NFC championship game en route to their only SuperBowl victory.
The Rams rallied from a 17-point deficit in the final six minutes of regulation before beating the Seahawks in overtime.
The Bucs, after an 0-4 start two years after their Super Bowl championship, rallied behind second-string quarterback Brian Griese to beat the Saints.
Both teams have struggled early this season, although both are coming off perhaps their best game.
Jackson left the Bucs as a free agent in 2000 for the Rams, where he's become a team captain. So the series has special meaning to him.
But he put his odds of playing at less than 10 percent.
"I want to be out there bad, especially against my former team on Monday night in an NFC game where we really need a win to keep these good things going," Jackson said. "I want to be a part of that. If you're limping around, you can't help anyone out."
Jackson was hurt in the first quarter of the Seahawks game when Matt Hasselbeck evaded a sack.

Jay Day Live
SUBMIT DEMOS BY OCT. 20TH TO DANIELLE BOSE AT 1435 JAYHAWK BOULEVARD. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, 66045 OR TO ROOM 119 STAUFFER-FLINT HALL
After his team's first victory in three weeks, Bechard said he felt his team had rekindled some of its early-season momentum. Iowa State has not defeated Kansas since 1999.
The Jayhawks once again started strong against the Tigers on Saturday, as Michaels scored a kill on the first return of the match.
VOLLEYBALL: Team balances out victory with loss to Missouri CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
But Correa and the rest of the servers struggled more in game two, when the team had seven errors. Brown had an early error in the game and was replaced by senior setter Ashley Bechard in the rotation.
Sophomore outside hitter Jana Correa was responsible for two service errors, but also scored six kills, leading the Jayhawks to a 30-27 victory.
The Tigers won 30-25. The deciding point as a service error by Correa.
The Jayhawks found themselves in an early 3-9 hole in the second game. They fought back several times, but poor serving seemed to kill the momentum every time.
Both teams displayed solid offense, but service errors killed the resulting momentum. Each time had five errors from the service line in the first set.
"We missed so many serves that it was difficult to really stand back there and be aggressive like you want to," Ray Bechard said.
With the game tied at 19, a service error by Lima gave Missouri the lead.
Kansas traded offense for serving in the third game, as the team had one error but hit only
Game four was a throwback to the first two sets, as Kansas committed seven service errors — including three by junior setter Andi Rozum — but hit a blazing .500 with only four errors. Missouri hit an impressive .357, but fell 26-30 in the shootout.
with the game tied at six, Missouri defensive specialist Abbie Booth reeled off six consecutive points, including one ace, to seal the match for the Tigers, who won the final game 15-7.
Bechard said recent close losses to Kansas State and Missouri were difficult to recover from.
"There's a lot of great stats on this sheet,but the one we really needed to win game five didn't work out for us,"he said.
Correa and junior outside hitter Paula Caten scored career highs in kills: Correa had 20, Caten 16.
"You can't make errors in a close match like that," Michaels said.
But the team also set a season high with 20 service errors.
"We can take a lot of great moments away from this match," he said, "but we're getting to the point in Big 12 play where the W's are more important than how you play."
Bechard said the Jayhawks would look to start a new winning streak Wednesday in Norman, Okla., when they face the Sooners.
Wednesday's match begins at 7 p.m. The Jayhawks have defeated the Sooners five straight times.

"It's impossible to replace her," Clark said. "That's going to handicap you, when you don't have your top runner."
Assistant coach Doug Clark said the team missed Manthe, who had developed pain on the outside of her foot in practice.
Five Kansas men and women competed in the open races. In the men's race, freshman Paul Heferon placed 17th out of 197 competitors. His time of 25:25.1 would have ranked fourth on the team in the blue race.
Clark said Manthe didn't compete to ensure she would be healthy for the Jayhawks' next meet, the Big XII Championships.
For the women, freshman Lisa Morrissey placed 51st out of 191 runners and freshman Alicia McGregor finished in 90th. Their respective times of 23.09.7 and 23.36.2 would have ranked in the top five on the team in the white race.
Clark said that Hefferon, Morrisey and McGregor will be in the mix when the coaches select nine runners from each side to compete at the Big XII Championships Oct. 30 in Topeka.
"The younger runners tend to feel more comfortable when they're near the front," Clark said. "In a race where they're running similar times but they're [placing] in the hundreds, they have got to feel competitive."

Kansas got on the board in the 20th minute on a Monica Brothers goal from a Lauren Williams pass. Later in the first half, junior forward Jessica Smith scored her first goal in 11 games, after taking a Cauzillo pass and beating Oklahoma goalkeeper Catherine Wade.
The Jayhawks capped off their scoring barrage in the 63rd minute when junior forward Caroline Smith scored her team-leading 7th goal of the season off an assist by sophomore defender Holly Gault. The second half effort by the Jayhawks did not go unseen by Francis.
"The most pleasing thing about today's game is that so far this year we have been a first

age with 0.362, dropped her average down to 0.32.
It will take a little of both offense and defense for them to come out with a win next weekend, when they travel to the state of Texas with games versus Texas A&M and Texas.
The Aggies have outscored Big 12 opponents 17-6 this season while the Longhorns have outscored Big 12 opponents 19-13, including a 6-0 beating of Missouri on Friday. The game against A&M on this coming Friday will more than likely determine the Big 12 regular season champions.

Women's basketball scores first Late Night scrimmage
Jamie Boyd, Aquinita Burras and Crystal Kemp joke with each other in a skit modeled after the television show What Not to Wear at Late Night in the Phog. This was the first year that the women's basketball team scrimmaged at the event held Friday night.

New coach. New players.
New traditions. New season of Kansas women's basketball.
Last night, for the first time in the program's history, the Kansas women's basketball team got to scrimmage as part of Kansas' Late Night in the Phog.
"We're filming this, and we'll go over it in practice at 10 a.m. tomorrow," Henrickson said.
The same rules which govern men's basketball also govern women's, which precludes the team from actually practicing before midnight. In order to get around this rule, and also to keep from delaying Late Night, the women's team practiced without first year coach Bonnie Henrickson.
"Coaching" in place of Henrickson last night was Kansas Governor, and KU alumnae, Kathleen Sebelius. Sebelius received a game jersey for her efforts, and also made a promise to the team.
"I intend to be here early and often, cheering you on," Sebelius said.
Before Henrickson left, she issued one last challenge to the fans who almost filled Allen Fieldhouse to capacity. Estimates of final attendance ranged from 15,500 to 16,000 fans at its highest point.
"We're creating a story tonight. I hope you show my kids some love," she said.
At 11 p.m., the women's team tipped off in their scrimmage against a group of boys known as the dream team. The dream team is a group of KU students who form the practice squad for the women.
Friday night, they were decked out in Missouri black and yellow to give fans something definite to cheer against.
Brett Elliot, Leavenworth
freshman, accidentally fell into the role of a "dream teamer."
"I got into it because of my brother," Elliot said. "He was out of town, so I filled in."
Elliot said that it was such an awesome feeling to be playing in Allen Fieldhouse that he felt like sticking with it.
As far as the scrimmage, the dream team and the women's team tied at 14 points. Neither team shot very well, but the women's team had several bright points.
Junior guard Kaylee Brown went two for two, including an
impressive two-pointer fed to her by senior guard Aquanita Burras' rebound. Brown led the team with four points, while senior guard Larisha Graves and junior forward Crystal Kemp tied for the rebound title with three each.
Also dishing out stand-out performances were forwards sophomore Alicia Rhymes and freshman Jamie Boyd. Rhymes spent most of last season on the bench as a reserve, appearing in just seven games for 17 minutes. Boyd is a former Miss Iowa
Basketball, and recorded 1,920 points in her four years as a starter in high school.
Eight of the women's 10 roster players appeared in the game, with just one, Graves, playing the entire game.
Absent from the lineup were senior forward Blair Waltz and sophomore forward Sharita Smith. Waltz has been injured for the last several days and watched the scrimmage from the bench. Smith, on the other hand, took no part in the team's skits and was not on the bench
for the scrimmage. She later appeared in street clothes to watch the activities.
"She's okay," Henrickson said. "Coach's decision. She'll practice in the morning." Notes
Henrickson has insisted that her players conceal their tattoos while in games. Some players had athletic tape over tattoos, while others concealed them with sweat bands or undershirts.
With 12 scholarships to offer over the next two seasons, Henrickson is not concerned at
all about recruiting too many players. With a goal of 6-8 players for next season, the concern becomes using up all of the season's official visits. Each team is allowed 12 official visits per year and the team has used nine through this weekend.
In last night's scrimmage, the Jayhawks went 0-4 from the three point line with Brown and junior guard Erica Hallman each missing two.

More struggles for Chiefs, this time in loss to Jaguars
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars had a fast start and another frantic finish.
Byron Leftwich threw two touchdown passes, including a 14-yarder to Cortez Hankton with 45 seconds to play, to lift the Jaguars to a 22-16 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday.
Leftwich also ran for a score as the Jaguars (4-2) snapped a two-game losing streak and won in the final minute for the fourth time this season.
Kansas City (1-4) took a 16-14 lead on an amazing touchdown pass from Trent Green to Priest Holmes with about five minutes remaining, but Lawrence Tynes missed the extra point. He also missed a 41-yard field goal with 2:16 to play.
The Jags got the ball back and drove 67 yards in 1:31 to go ahead for good.
Leftwich looked great on the winning drive. He completed his final five passes for 55 yards. He capped the drive with a fade pass that Hankton hauled in for his second touchdown in as many weeks.
Hankton beat Dexter McCleon for the score. Reggie Williams then outjumped McCleon for the 2-point conversion.
Lefwit completed 24 of 56 passes for 298 yards.
Kansas City had one final chance, but Green's pass near the goal line was intercepted as time expired. He finished 25-of-33 for 315 yards and threw two touchdown passes, but he also was sacked six times. Holmes had 75 yards rushing.
The Chiefs looked like they had the victory sealed when Green — with defensive linemen Rob Meier and Greg Favors draped around his legs flipped a pass to Holmes just before his knees hit the ground. Holmes cut across the field, picked up a big block from Tony Gonzalez, and scored.
The Jaguars challenged the play, but officials ruled Green released the ball before either knee was down.
Tynes' extra point attempt hit the right upright.
Jacksonville stalled on the ensuing drive and failed to convert on fourth-and-1 from its 33. The Chiefs thought they could seal the victory with Tynes' field goal, but it sailed wide right.
The Jags capitalized on the mistakes.
They also made the most of a fast start.
Jacksonville scored in the first quarter for the first time this season. They opened the game with four wide receivers, and Lefwich in the shotgun.
eight of the first 10 plays and completed two big third-down passes, including a perfectly thrown one to Jimmy Smith for 30 vards down the sideline.
Leftwich capped the 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 7-yard TD run. The Jags were 4-for-4 on third down and scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time since December 2002.
After Tynes' 31-yard field goal made it 7-3, Jacksonville answered with a quick strike. Leftwicheth to Fred Taylor in the flat. Taylor turned up in field. ran past Jerome Woods and sprinted down the sideline for a 64-yard touchdown.
McCleon had a shot at tackling Taylor inside the 10 but missed.
He dropped back to pass on
The finish was the latest heart-stopper in a season filled with them for the Jaguars.
Leftwich connected with rookie Ernest Wilford for a 7-yard score as time expired to give the Jaguars a 13-10 victory over Buffalo in the season opener.
Denver running back Quentin Griffin fumbled a handoff on the 23-yard line with about 30 seconds to play, allowing the Jaguars to escape with a 7-6 victory the following week.
Jacksonville improved to 3-0 after beating Tennessee 15-12 on Taylor's short TD run with 9 seconds remaining.

KU students wait in line to receive this season's men's basketball tickets. Matt Stern, Arlington Heights, Ill., junior, was near the front of the line, and said he skipped classes to get the tickets. "The line for getting tickets is longer than the line to get into a game, but it's worth it because we are going to win this year." Stern said. He waited for more than two hours in his pajamas with his friends.

Panic causes lines for tickets
BY ROSS FITCH AND MIRANDA LENNING
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Ryan Stos waited in line two and a half hours yesterday to pick up his men's basketball tickets.
Though annoyed and frustrated, Stos said KJUkasketball was worth the wait.
"The only reason I go here is KU basketball and drinking," said Sos,
Great Bend senior.
Students who arrived at the Allen Fieldhouse ticket office when it opened at 9 a.m. were able to quickly pick up their tickets. But from about 10 a.m. through most of the day, students waited anywhere from two to three and a half hours in line to redeem their vouchers. The long lines lasted until just after 5 p.m.
Most of the students in line were upset and annoyed.
"There were never lines like this last year," Lindsey Rippel, Topeka senior, said. "This is completely inefficient."
In previous years, students were given coupons that they exchanged for the actual tickets during redemption periods. This year students receive their tickets only after showing their KUID cards. Their names and ID numbers are then printed on the tickets.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics
director, said he expected the long lines.
"Part of why it's taking so long is that students are having multiple IDs and that's slowing the process down," Marchiony said.
He said some students brought as many as 30 IDs, but today the problem was limited. Beginning this morning, there will be at least two windows open specifically for students with just one ID.
He also said there are still plenty of
tickets available after yesterday's rush.
Many students brought ticket vouchers for friends along with their IDs. The process of entering all of the names and ID numbers into the computers kept the line at a slow crawl for most of the afternoon.
"The numbers were nowhere near lottery range," he said.

Film to promote immigrant education
BY NIKLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ranjit Arab doesn't want another award — he wants people to be aware of the issues.
After winning two awards in June at the KAN Film Festival in Lawrence for his first documentary El Jardin, Arab, Lawrence graduate student, is working on a second film.
The first film focused on Garden City and educating children of Mexican immigrants there. There is a majority minority in Garden City
where more than 40 percent of the population is Mexican. Arab is working on another film that will focus on in-state tuition for undocumented students.
"The bottom line is that we're talking about people's lives," Arab said. "When you see the tug of war that we're playing with these students'
Arab wants the audience for this film to understand that whatever label people use — illegal alien, undocumented worker, foreigner — they are still talking about humans.

Camera plans in works
New surveillance system would make campus safer
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
aotoolo@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Campus surveillance cameras are close to becoming a reality, as the KU Public Safety Office is in the process of approving a vendor to supply them. But it will be a while before students will be caught on tape.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety, said discussions about cameras have been happening for a few years, but two incidents involving weapons last year sped up the planning process.
Once a vendor is chosen, an engineering study will have to be completed to determine the number and the type of cameras that will be used. Rhonda Birdsong, KU public safety office public administrator and director of the program, said the safety office wants to be sure all areas of concern will be monitored. Those areas include parking lots and perimeters of the residence halls.
After that is done, student employees will be trained to monitor the cameras in a remote monitoring center. The location of the center has yet to be determined.
Birdsong said she didn't know how many employees it would take to run the center or where the money would come from to pay their wages.

CAMERAS ON KU
The idea of camera surveillance has been at the University for a long time. But with weapon-involved incidents last year, the plans to install cameras have become more of a priority for the KU Public Safety Office. The cameras will be dispersed throughout campus in two phases.
Phase one. GSP-Corbin Hall and parking garage, Parking Lot 300 (Lied Center and Dole Center), perimeters of residence halls
Phase two: Two academic buildings, the Kansas Union, the Student Fitness Recreation Center, libraries
All plans are tentative and are not on a set schedule.
There are already cameras in place at Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse, which are used for crowd control during games.

Director pokes fun at fatty fast food

Morgan Spurlock said he thought it was ironic that McDonald's used professional tennis players in their advertisements.
He called the term health by association.
"Serena Williams doesn't drink two milk shakes before going on the court." Spurlock said.
He looked out at the audience, smirked, said, "Maybe she did," and left the punch line to the audience.

About 320 students and members of the Lawrence community showed up to see the award-winning director speak, said Megan Storm, social issues coordinator for Student Union Activities.
Spurlock used comedy to enforce personal
"We thought it would be socially relevant and entertaining." Storm said.
The Student Fitness Recreation Center, Watkins Memorial Health Center and Student Senate cooperated to sponsor the event.
The film, which cost about $65,000 to make.
has grossed more than $28 million worldwide and is the fourth highest grossing documentary ever. Sourlock said.
"The problem is we don't have enough education about food," Spurlock said.
Six weeks after the January 2004 release of the film at The Sundance Film Festival, McDonald's eliminated super size options. Snurlock said.
The day before Super Size Me was released in the United States, McDonald's introduced the "Go Active Adult Happn Meal."
The meal includes a salad, a bottle of water, a

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) 864-3506.
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."
Church seeks national notoriety
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAWRENCE — The congregation of an east Lawrence church, founded during the Civil War and once attended by poet Langston Hughes, wants the building placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The St. Luke AME Church is badly in need of repairs, and church members said they hope the historic designation will attract grants and other money needed to perform the maintenance.
"We want to make sure that we are able to preserve for history, if you will, the work of our ancestors," said the Rev. Verdell Taylor, the church's pastor.
The church congregation was initially founded in 1862, but was moved after two dozen Union troops, many of them
black, were slaughtered during Quantrill's Raid in 1863. Later, the church was supposedly a link in the Underground Railroad, which helped escaped slaves reach freedom.
The current building was constructed in 1910. About that time, a young Hughes began attending services with this aunt.
He wrote about his experiences at the church in his book The Big Sea, and said the services influenced his writing style.
"I was very much moved, always, by the rhythms of the Negro church, of the spirituals, of the sermons," he said in a 1960 radio interview. "And when I began to write poetry, that influence came through."
The church, which now has 50 regular attendees, was named to the Kansas Register of Historical Places in 2001.
Getting the building on the National Register could be more difficult, however, as church members have yet to determine who designed and built it.
Bill Tuttle, a University of Kansas professor helping with the designation, said he and church members are trying to uncover that information.
Taylor said the church will apply for the designation early next year. Getting on the national list opens the door to tax credits and grants that can be used to renovate the 94-year-old building.
"It's just a fabulous historical treasure, given its connection to the Civil Rights movement." Tuttle said.
"It's an amazing effort to keep the building in shape," he said.

New casino coming to eastern Kansas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Two Indian tribes and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius agreed to a compact permitting a large casino in Wyandotte County, guaranteeing the state revenues based on how much it restricts gambling elsewhere, a Sebelius aide said yesterday.
Under the compact reached with the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox tribes, the state could receive $50 million or more annually, said Matt All, the governor's chief counsel. Wyandotte County could receive $10 million or more. he said.
The Kickapoo and Sac and Fox have proposed building a $210 million casino complex near Kansas Speedway The state would regulate the operation.
However, to get its full share, the state must limit the number of slot machines elsewhere and oppose another new Indian casino within 100 miles if federal law requires Kansas to be consulted first. All said.
It would be the first American Indian casino in Kansas to share revenue with the state. Seven states — Arizona, California, Connecticut, Michigan, New Mexico, New York and Wisconsin — have such agreements with tribes, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
All outlined the compact during a briefing with reporters and said it will be presented Wednesday to the Legislature's Joint Committee on Tribal-State Relations.
"This project will create hundreds of jobs, attract thousands of tourists and generate millions of dollars for the state and local governments," Sebelius said in a statement.
The Wyandottes opened a small casino without a compact last year, and the state shut it down in April. A federal judge recently ruled the state had no authority to do so but also said the Wyandottes couldn't reopen their casino.Hodges said the Wyandottes will sue the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox if they seek federal approval of their casino site.
However, Jason Hodges, a spokesman for the Oklahoma-based Wyandotte Nation, called the compact "a pipe dream." He said federal law required the Wyandottes to be consulted because they have land in downtown Kansas City, Kan., within 50 miles of the proposed casino.
dragging this out, they're insane," Hodges said.
All said Sebelius plans to negotiate only with the four tribes that have reservations in Kansas, all of which are in the state's northeast corner — the Kickapoo, Sac and Fox, Iowa and Prairie Band Potawatomi.
As for the Wyandottes, All disagreed with their assessment of federal law.
"If they think we're not capable of
The four northeast Kansas tribes already operate casinos under compacts signed in the 1990s, though none give the state any revenue.
The Kickapoo and Sac and Fox would continue to operate their existing casinos, in Brown County, for an additional seven years, with Kansas receiving 4 percent of the gross revenues from those facilities.
A Kansas Lottery study earlier this year suggested gross revenues could be $288 million, leaving the state with $56 million after regulatory costs and Wyandotte County with $12 million.
Under the Kansas Constitution, only the state or American Indian tribes can operate casino gambling. The Constitution also permits a state-run lottery and betting on dog and horse racing.

Widower promotes safety
Social worker's murder prompts husband's advocacy in field
BY AMANDA O'TOOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The sound of asplause filled the auditorium at U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) introduced Matt Zenner last night at the Social Worker's Safety Forum at Regnier Hall on the Edwards Campus.
Zenner was almost brought to tears as he took the lectern before about 300 people. He was there to talk about Teri Zenner, his wife and KU graduate student who was murdered in August while visiting a client for the Johnson County Mental Health.
He said he was overwhelmed by the number of people who came. He expected to fill maybe half of the 270-person capacity room. There wasn't an empty chair and people overflowed into aisles and sat on the floor.
"I think a lot of people saw
tonight what a problem safety is," he said. "I'm glad that many people were there. It's just more people who are aware of the problem."
Zenner has become a safety advocate since his wife's murder.
The purpose of the forum, he said, was to make more people aware that Teri's murder was not an isolated incident.
Violence in the social work field is more prevalent than people know, he said.
Sara Nelson-Johns, Prairie Village graduate student, knows about the dangers of being a social worker.
She attended the meeting to support Zenner and to learn more about safety in her profession.
"Our practicum can be an unsafe place." she said.
3
Practicums are comprised of field work that is required of graduate students to graduate.
Catherine Crisp, assistant
social welfare professor, said the violence social workers face is not well known because not a lot of people report it.
Many social workers don't report incidents because they don't feel the violence is severe enough and also because they think it's a part of their job, she said.
Crisp was attacked during a patient visit, and was one of the few who reported the incident.
She said certain studies needed to be done to compare the violence levels of social workers to other professions, but the statistics showed that chances for violence are high.
About one of every four social workers will encounter violence in the work place, she said.
David Wiebe, executive director of Johnson County Mental Health Center, said technology may make the workplace safer.
The center is testing Nextel
phones that include Global Positioning Systems and onebutton direct communication.
Zenner said he would not stop pushing safety until he could sleep at night knowing social workers would be safe doing their jobs.

his wife's murder are the driving forces that keep him going.
Zenner was invited to speak to Congress as part of a mental health caucus in Washington, D.C., in December or January. Despite his dislike for public speaking, he accepted.
He asked the social workers
in last night's audience to share their experiences with him so he could be their voices, too.
Moore called the choked-up Zenner a hero as the audience gave the widower a standing ovation.

Workshop addresses homophobia in America
Austin Caster
Homophobia is ingrained into American culture so much that it has become like a part of the air people breathe, said Thad Holcombe, campus minister of Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
To combat homophobia and stereotypes the Sexual Education Committee is presenting Scared Straight: How Homophobia Hurts Us All at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., from 6:30 to 10 p.m. tonight.
The Sexual Education Committee promotes education of sexual awareness with ecu伦育 and interfaith programs.
The workshop will be facilitated by Robert Minor, professor of religious studies.
Minor is the author of Scared Straight: Why It's So Hard to Accept Gay People and Why It's So Hard to be Human.
The workshop will be interactive, and participants will talk about their experiences and observations of homophobia in their lives, Holcombe said.
Among topics covered, the workshop will address the relationship between homosexuality and religion.
"It will challenge faith traditions that say homosexuality is evil or sinful." Holcombe said.
The workshop costs $5 for students and $8 for non-students.
The workshop is a two-part series.
Part one will be tonight and part two will be Oct. 29 at the same time and place.
The admission fee covers the cost of both workshops.
Sponsors of the workshop include the Lutheran Campus Ministry, Canterbury House.
United Methodist Campus Ministry, Hilliell Foundation and Ecumenical Christian Ministries.

KUJH-TV switches cable channel again
The student television station, KUJH-TV, cable channel changed yesterday from channel 32 to channel 31, said Dick Nelson, newsroom coordinator for KUJH.
Nelson said this is the third channel the station has been on in the last five years.
Sunflower Broadband had moved them from channel 66 to 32 and now to 31.
He said the move is a slight improvement for the station, because lower numbers are considered to be more desirable, but he just wants a stable channel for the station.
The station's over-the-air channel,channel 14,will remain the same.

Enrollment approaching: Process nearly painless
With Fall Break now past and various professors and departments emailing students to make appointments for advising, the time for enrollment is near. While enrollment will always have problems, the University has done a good job of improving the process nearly every year.
The days of waiting in line at Strong Hall and missing a class to enroll are gone. No longer do students have to choose a class at th last minute because the one they desired and all their alternates filled up. And the process of add/drop, while still tedious, is not quite the nightmare it used to be.
Instead of roped lines and a room full of data entry workers and computers, there is Enroll and Pay, which you can operate from the comfort of your own home. It may have had its problems in the beginning, especially with permission numbers. But after some fine tuning by the University and adaptation by students this evolved form of enrollment is easy and efficient.
Finding the classes you wish to enroll in hasn't always been easy, either. With the elimination of the paper timetable several years ago,
the University turned to an online version, available at www.opensections.ku.edu, and updated every hour, on the hour on weekdays. This new online timetable was easy to navigate by just clicking on individual departments for a listing of classes.
The University attempted to improve this model by making it into a search engine of sorts, allowing students to limit search time by typing in specific data. This version was hugely unpopular and inconvenient for students, so the original online timetable has been brought back.
While enrollment is the easiest and simplest it has probably ever been, there is always room for improvement. Perhaps making a general sitemap for Enroll and Pay would make it easier for newer students to navigate. An online method for requesting permission numbers instead of having to hunt down a professor would also be more effective.
Either way, so long as students are willing to take enrollment seriously and University employees willing to aid them, enrollment can be a less than painful experience.

Yeah, so I read an article in the Kansan today that I should pick up my sports package first round basketball tickets by tomorrow. Low and behold, at the ticket window, the tickets are postponed until the 18th. So, there's a lack of professionalism on the part of the ticket department or the Kansan. Or perhaps both.

'Play every game like it's your last'
Editor's Note: In April of last year, Kansan staff reporter Andy Marso fell ill with meningitis. Recently, Andy was released from the hospital and began to write again. This piece, which he typed with just his thumb, is reprinted with permission from the Basehor Sentinel.
It was late April and fairly warm, but I shivered as a chill ran through my body.
There was a strong breeze that day, kicking up dirt on the softball field where Basehor-Linwood had just finished the first game of a doubleheader.
I blamed the wind for my shivering. Sickness didn't cross my mind. After all, I was immortal; young, strong, in the best shape of my life. But the shivering got worse. I rushed home, but my body continued to break down. I spiked a high fever and broke out in cold sweats, feeling nauseous but not throwing up.
By the next morning my arms and legs were covered with purple blotches and I could barely get out of bed because my feet screamed in pain when they touched the floor.
Within 24 hours of that first chill I was being airlifted from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to KU Med.
I felt awful, but still didn't know just how sick I was. The helicopter touched down on the roof, and I was

carried towards a door on a gurney Just before we went inside, the world swirled in a dizzy haze and went black.
That night, while I was still unconscious, my parents rushed from our home in Minnesota to KU Med after a doctor called and told them I was gravely ill.
When they arrived, the doctors told them I had a severe case of bacterial meningitis. The disease was infecting my bloodstream, and rapidly destroying capillaries, or small blood vessels. Areas like my hands and feet, which have few capillaries, were beginning to die from lack of blood.
Bacterial meningitis kills roughly 20 percent of its victims, I, who had 24 hours earlier been in excellent physical condition, was now teetering between life and death. I went on like that for almost three weeks before the antibiotics killed the bacteria and my condition stabilized.
But by then, ghastly damage had been done to my hands and feet. Four months and six surgeries later, all of my toes and fingers had been amputated. The one digit I had left was a stubborn right thumb, which somehow never gave in to the disease.
As I lay in the hospital for months and months, I tried to come to terms with how different my life would be when I got out.
One of the toughest things I had to accept was that I would never enjoy playing sports in the same way as I did before. It's something I'm still struggling with now that I'm out of the hospital and rehabbing.
Prosthetics will help in the future, but with artificial hands I'll never again feel the thousands of tiny bumps and smooth, wide grooves of a basketball. I'll never have the privilege of feeling that ball slide gently off my fingertips and watching it swish through the net. And that's just one of my favorite games. What about soccer, tennis, bar league softball, or snow football? None of them will ever be the same
"Play every game like it's your last." It's not just a cliché, it's for real. I wish I would have.

Late Night fouls out for disabled
On Friday, I went to Late Night in the Phog expecting a good time, but got a bitter lesson in the inadequacy of accessibility for deaf people at KU athletic events.
NOT UNHEARD OF
My roommate and I, both deaf, were given lousy accommodations and expected to accept it and enjoy the show.
I actually wish I didn't go. As a diehair KU basketball fan, that's saying a lot.
Disability access on campus is like a basketball game. It requires teamwork. And Friday night, there was none. The Office of Services for Students With Disabilities asked the KU Athletics Department for reserved seating so deaf attendees could see both the interpreters and the court. They asked for scripts. Then they passed the ball to the department. But they didn't follow up.
Foul one; Reserved seating location

Then the Athletics Department screwed up too.
After we went to the events management office and complained, they moved
Poul one: Reserved seating location.
The department chose the worst possible location for our seats — in a corner, behind some rails. This creates an impossible scenario for interpreter placement. If the interpreter stands at the appropriate distance, he is bumped and blocked by people entering and leaving. If he stands on the bleachers in front of us, as one Athletics Department employee suggested, we get a crick in our necks and can't see the action on-court through the interpreter.

us over one section, to the front row. It was no better. Because it was right next to the entrance, people kept filing in front of the interpreter, creating intolerable amounts of visual "static." One department employee actually stood right smack between me and the interpreter.
The only place for the interpreter was out of my line of vision with the court. I had to look back and forth 90 degrees, missing half of what the interpreter was signing and half of the activity on-court.
If I had known earlier where the reserved seats were, I would have sat with other students for a better view of the court. But I shouldn't have to choose between decent seats and seeing the interpreter.
Foul two: Seat labeling.
Foul three: No script.
The Athletics Department did not
The Athletics Department labeled our seats, "Hearing-Impaired Seating." Big politically incorrect, no-no. I'm not impaired. I'm just deaf.
provide the interpreters with a script for the evening's performances. Interpreters need to know the order of events, people's names, words to music and any other transcript they can get in order to do the best job they can. Not everyone can spell Moulaye Niang cold. Paul four Sound system
Because of the echo effect in Allen Fieldhouse, even if the audience is quiet, the interpreter cannot make out some words. The SSD office needs to make sure the Athletics Department provides the interpreter with headphones with direct audio feed.
Foul five; Lighting.
When the lights went down in Allen, there was no spotlight or lighting on the interpreter. Just because deaf people can't hear doesn't mean we can see in the dark. Even if the lights were only dim, we couldn't see the interpreter with the flash bulbs popping around him.
The departments foul out of the game! If our men's basketball team had played as poorly as the departments did Friday, KU fans would run them out of town like former player David Padgett.
Deaf Jayhawk fans shouldn't be excluded from athletic events because of inadequate accessibility. The departments have considerable work to do to avoid fouling out again.

He said McDonald's spokesmen claimed his film had nothing to do with the recent changes in the restaurant's menu.
Spurlock said he could have chosen any fast food restaurant for his documentary, including Wendy's, Burger King, Pizza Hut or White Castle.
Sales in the United Kingdom plummeted 70 percent after the film's release.
McDonald's is iconic,
Spurlock said, and could most easily influence change across the industry.
Garrett Guzman said he went to see Spurlock speak because he loved the film. The Wichita sophomore said it had been almost a year since he had eaten at McDonald's.
According to its Web site; McDonald's serves 47 million people around the world in 30,000 restaurants in 119 countries each day.
"It gives insight to the fast food nation," Zach Ross, Niwot, Colo., freshman, said.
Ross said he was most surprised by the ridiculous amount
of weight Spurlock gained while filming the documentary. Spurlock gained almost 25 pounds in 30 days.
"You don't get high off your own supply," he said.
"It changed my mind," Ross said. "I know people who won't eat fast food anymore."

future, it's clear that any anger or frustration over illegal immigration is being misdirected."
The first film was in response to Connie Morris, Kansas State School Board member, claims that undocumented workers didn't pay taxes or that they were criminals and freeloaders, Arab said.
"My main goal was to provide the other side of the story," Arab said. "I knew she was wrong and I felt compelled to provide a more reasonable examination of the issue."
Arab enrolled in Tom Volek's, journalism professor, corporate video and documentary class in the spring of 2003 to help with the making of his first film.
"I provided him, more or less, the avenue," Volek said. "He clearly has done a marvelous job using video and he is a very professional person."
It took Arab more than nine months to research, film and produce the first film. Filming in a Garden City dairy feedlot on one of the coldest days was one aspect of making the film that Arab said he would never forget.
"It was probably colder inside than it was outside," Arab said. "Still, tucked away in that feedlot, we found an incredible migrant worker
named Juan, who clearly had thought long and hard about this issue."
Arab wants to show, not just talk, about issues on immigration.
"Nothing is more powerful than seeing these people with your own eyes." Arab said.
The No Child Left Behind Act doesn't say no American or English speaking child left behind, Arab said in his first film. Actually seeing the children who would be denied an education had more of an impact than just reading about the issue, he said.
The second film is more than half finished and some interesting people have already been interviewed, including Latino activists, undocumented students and their families and a KU student involved in the instate tuition lawsuit and Kris Kobach, a republican candidate for 3rd District congress running against Dennis Moore (D-Lenexa).
The lawsuit is against a bill the Kansas Legislature passed that allowed undocumented students who completed three years of high school in the state of Kansas to receive in-state tuition. Groups including the Federation for American Immigration Reform filed the lawsuit.
comes from the lack of information about immigrants, Arab said.
"The anti-immigration groups have done such a great job of spreading lies and hateful messages that it's very important to contribute something that balances out those ignorant and destructive views," he said.
"We've always had this fear about immigrants, but legitimately 90 percent of us are immigrants," Paden said.
The inspiration for this film
Paden is helping Arab make the film, and said that interviewing Kris Kobach opened his eyes to how differently people view education. Paden believes that by educating everyone, Kansas will benefit. After interviewing Kobach, Paden said that Kobach had a totally different view of what education is.
Aaron Paden, Lawrence senior, agreed that there were biased views about immigrants.
Paden said the film will help people talk about these issues in a healthy way. It was easy to paint a negative picture of immigrants when people had a blank slate on the issue Paden said, but it was an issue that won't solve itself.
"He saw education as a commodity that can be traded," Paden said.

TICKETS: Following mad dash, tickets remain
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Ginny Weatherman/KANSAN
The University of Kansas Athletic Department allots 4,000 seats for students in Allen Fieldhouse. The first 3,800 students are guaranteed tickets. If necessary, the remaining 200 tickets will be distributed in a lottery which will take place after the designated pick-up period. Marchiony said.
(From left) Ashley Roberts, Topea freshman, Amanda Zimmerschied, Lawrence freshman, Shawna McMahan, Dallas freshman, and Amanda Garibay, Overland Park freshman, sit on the lawn of Allen Fieldhouse and wait while a friend gets them men's basketball tickets with their KUIDs. Some students arrived at 5 a.m to wait in line for KU篮球 tickets.
"If everyone gets a ticket, they won't panic next time," he said. "If not, this will only get worse."there is a lottery, the winning students will be contacted via e-mail. The winning students can then pick up their tickets until 5 p.m. on the Thursday following the distribution period.
Students probably panicked when they found out there was a possibility of not getting their tickets, said Dwayne Buscher, Lawrence senior.
Kendra Finney, Overland Park junior, buys tickets every year, but sometimes has to work
during the game. Because names and IDs are printed on the tickets, she can no longer give away her tickets to friends.
"I'm going to be pissed my ticket has to go to waste," Finney said.
They would receive about $95.
Buscher said he would not mind selling back his sports combo because he plans on going to St. Louis in April.
"If I saw us winning the Final Four, that would make up for not seeing a home game," he said.

CAMERAS: Office targets parking lots, dorms
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
In the plan's first phase, cameras will monitor areas including parking lot 300 by the Lied Center and the Dole Institute and the GSP-Corbin parking lot where the incidents were reported last February and October.
Birdsong said the University hoped to have the first phase done by the end of the school year.
The first phase will cost about $250,000 and will be followed by at least two additional phases. Budgets for subsequent installations have not been determined.
Bailey said the cameras are meant to be another tool the office can use to increase safety and minimize crime.
"These are not meant to be spy cameras," Bailey said. "We'll let people know they're being watched and hopefully it will deter crime committed in public locations."
Lorin Duron, Dallas junior,
said the cameras are a good idea
as long as the watching doesn't
get out of hand.
"I think they should have something they're looking for," she said. "I don't think if they see a girl carrying beer from her car to GSP that they would go and check her ID."
Mary Chao, Denver junior. agreed.
If a crime happens, however, Chao said she wants the cameras there.
But there are two sides of the spectrum, Aaron Bazata, Chicago junior said.
"I don't really see that it's necessary for such surveillance." he said.
He also said the only people who should be concerned are those who are committing crimes.
"There's good sides and there's bad sides," he said. "A growing campus can only mean growing surveillance."
The KU Public Safety office will use the cameras to monitor crime. Bailev said.
Bill Staples, sociology professor and author of Everyday Surveillance: Vigilance and
Visibility in Postmodern Life,
said we need to be careful how
willing we are to put ourselves
under surveillance.
"I understand the fear of crime, but we need to ask if this campus is a hotbed of criminal behavior," he said. "The cameras make us feel good being able to do something about incidents that have happened, but I'm no sure how thought through they have been."
He also said the effectiveness of the cameras will depend on how it is used. He said someone needs to be watching the cameras and the response of officers needs to be quick.
Birdsong could not give a specific timeline when the vendor would be selected or when the first phase would be completed, and said additional surveillance is a growing trend.
"It'll become second nature after time passes," she said. "It's just another tool to keep the campus safe."

BCS ranking surprise Miami at No.2 for 2004
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern California took the top spot Monday in the season's first Bowl Championship Series standings, and surprisingly Miami is ahead of Oklahoma in a close race for the second spot.
Oklahoma is No. 2 behind USC in both The Associated Press Top 25 and coaches' poll. Put in place after last season's split national championship, the new BCS formula relies more on the human polls than ever before.
"I think it's obviously very early," BCS coordinator and Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said. "It's important that there not be an overreaction to this poll."
Still, even Weiberg was taken aback by Miami's position ahead of Oklahoma.
"I think I was a little surprised to tell you the truth," he said.
The AP and coaches' polls each count for one-third of a team's total score in the BCS standings. The other third is made up of a compilation of six computer rankings, and that's where Miami made up the difference over the Sooners. The Hurricanes are ranked fourth in the AP media poll and third in the coaches poll, but have the second-most points in the computer rankings.
"Our philosophy is that the only thing we can control is how we play," Miami coach Larry Coker said. "We firmly believe that if we play well and win, our rankings in the polls and the BCS will reflect this and that we will be rewarded for those efforts. Because we have been named the No. 2 team in the first BCS standings, our job now is to respond and move forward."
Oklahoma, which benefited from the old system last season, was fifth in the computer rankings. Each team's highest and lowest computer ranking is tossed out before an average is reached.
Weiberg said that Oklahoma was probably hurt in the computer rankings by having played only one road game.
"I think it's obviously very early. It's
important that there not be an overreaction to this poll."
"Several of them use a home.
Kevin Weiberg BCS coordinator and Big 12 commissioner
and-away factor in their formula so I think it has some influence, yes," he said.
Oklahoma has one victory over a ranked team (Texas), while Miami has two (Florida State and Louisville), which also sways computer rankings, Weiberg said.
The Orange Bowl will host the top two teams in the final BCS standings on Jan. 4 for the national title.
USC, No. 1 in each of the major polls all season, has a big lead in the BCS with a score of .9912 out of a possible 1.000. Miami's score is .9187, while Oklahoma graded out to .9161.
Auburn is fourth with a score of 9036. Florida State (.8072), with one loss, is fifth ahead of unbeatens Wisconsin (.7255) and Utah (.7251).
The Utes, ranked ninth in the AP poll and 10th in the ESPN/USA Today poll, are in position to become the first team from outside the six major conferences to earn a bid to one of the four big-ticket BCS games.
The champions from the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conference make up six of the eight teams in the four BCS games — the Orange, Sugar, Rose and Fiesta bowls. The other two spots go to wildcard teams.
Finishing in the top six in the BCS standings also guarantees a team a BCS bowl bid. A top-12 ranking in the final BCS standings is necessary to be eligible for one of the wild-card spots.
Utah plays in the Mountain West Conference and has a 3-0 record this season against teams from BCS conferences.
Boise State, the other unbeaten team from a mid-major conference, is 14th in the first BCS standings.
The BCS changed its formula for determining which teams play for the national title after last season, when USC finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in both polls, but third in the BCS standings and was left out of the title game.
Oklahoma reached the title game last season because of flaws in the old BCS formula. The Sooners lost the Big 12 title game and dropped to No. 3 in the major polls, but still finished first in the BCS standings. They were beaten in the Sugar Bowl by LSU, which was voted No. 1 in the coaches' poll. USC ended up No. 1 in the media poll.
Under the system in place this season, LSU and USC would have played in the Sugar Bowl last season. In the past, results from the AP and coaches' polls were averaged, then factored in with the other components — a formula that lessened the significance of the polls.
BCS officials scaled down the formula this season, eliminating elements such as bonus points for quality wins and strength of schedule, which was considered redundant because computers and poll voters already take that into account.
Also, for the first time, the BCS formula takes into account the number of votes a team receives in the major polls and not just its ranking.
The goal was to simplify the system and better reflect what are the consensus top two teams in the country.
USC and Oklahoma have been one and two, respectively, in the polls since the preseason. The Trojans hold a substantial lead over the Sooners in both polls, and Oklahoma is comfortably No. 2 in both.

SWANSON: May start Saturday
3. 652 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Swanson came to Kansas at the beginning of the spring semester last year and spent the spring working out with the team and trying to adjust to the physical changes of Division I football, as compared to junior college ball.
He said the biggest difference was the speed of the opposing defenses.
"We had a good team, and people weren't really fast," Swanson said. "Everyone here is a world-class athlete."
After his heroics against the Wildcats, Swanson still brings the same laid-back attitude that drives Mangino nuts to practice, even though he knows the better he plays, the more likely he is to start this Saturday.
"I'm just working hard, still being my relaxed self, trying to do my job as best I can," Swanson said.
For Swanson, the question of which quarterback will start doesn't really matter. Those decisions are left to the coaches.
"I'm going to keep on going like I'm going," Swanson said. "I'm not going to worry about it too much."
Most of Swanson's teammates seem to have the same attitude toward who will be taking the snaps this weekend. All say the same thing when asked who they would like to see throwing the passes. Even senior tight end Lyonel Anderson, who is usually on the receiving end of several passes, sees little distinction between Barmann and Swanson.

FLU: Athletes defend against flu

noses, not to touch their mouths and noses and stay home if they are sick.
"We're going to keep hitting that message of hygiene," Thrasher said. "We're all in this together. We don't want to get sick, and we don't want to get other people sick."
The limited number of vaccines narrowed the amount of people receiving flu shots to those considered in a high-risk group. This group includes children, adults older than 65, individuals with chronic medical conditions, residents of long-term care facilities, out-of-home caregivers and pregnant women.
"It's not a matter of having the money or needing people to get it," Magee said. "The vaccine is just out there."
Thrasher said the risk groups apply the same to athletes as to the general public.
Unless something drastically changes with the supply, most players probably will not get vaccinated. Magee said.
The Athletics Department does not require athletes to get flu vaccinations, although it strongly encourages it.

HOYER: Mangino's shadow
"I know this sounds silly, just being a manager, but it's as frustrating for us as it is for the players," Hoyer said. "We're only four plays away from being 6-0. It's frustrating."
CONTINUED FROM 10A
Athletics have been a part of Hoyer's life since she was young. She played softball and basketball in high school, and even explored playing softball at a community college. Ultimately, though, she decided she wanted to come to the University and get a degree in athletic training.
Hoyer, who graduated in May, became a certified athletic trainer in August.
To become certified, students
must graduate from an accredited program. Hoyer's class is the first group to graduate from the University since it has been accredited. Students also must pass a three-part exam, which Hoyer passed in August.
There are 13 equipment managers for Kansas football; each is assigned to a different assistant coach. Overseeing all of them is Jeff Heinz, the full-time equipment manager.
"We're in charge of everything the players wear and everything the players do in practice," Heinz said.
Heinz said that it is not uncommon for managers to stay with the team for long periods of time.
"I rarely have people who quit," Heinz said. "I think they enjoy hanging out with the players and coaches."
Mangino and Hoyer have developed a good relationship in the three years that he has been in Lawrence. In fact, it is advice from Mangino which has Hoyer pursuing her master's degree in sports administration.
Of course, if that does not work out, Hoyer does have a backup plan.
"He told me to get my master's in sports admin, and then become an associate A.D.," Hover said.
"I told coach Mangino I was still going to be carrying around his headset when I'm 80."

QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL KANSAS KIDS
WHERE SENATOR BUHLER STANDS ON EDUCATION: We owe our children adequately funded public schools. And because we compete regionally and nationally for quality students, faculty, staff, and facilities, we can't continue to neglect the many important issues relating to higher education. Next year's legislature must set high standards for education for the next decade. I'll pledge to be part of the solution for children in our communities and at our universities. We can do this.

Another historic season in store for Kansas fans
Imagine or remember.
You've been sitting at Late Night in the Phog for almost four hours when Coach Bill Self's image is projected onto four large video screens in the uppermost corners of Allen Fieldhouse. You've waited through the pre-scrimmage entertainment — Dallas Mavericks mascot, Mavs Man's acrobatic dunk show, T-shirts nearly decapitating fans as they shoot from those cannon things, a hokey group hypnotist, enough dancing to make Jack Flanigan's jealous, and skits. Self explains how special this upcoming season will be. He told us how "jacked" he was to coach this team and how this may be the best team in the country. The crowd of more than 15,500, going nuts the entire time, has waited since last March for this night, for the start of the biggest attraction in Lawrence — Kansas men's basketball.
Call me what you want, but I admit that I was taken aback by Self and the video. A wave of emotion overcame me as I realized — and I do this every year as I sit in the Fieldhouse for the first time each season — how
After Self's speech and a video that chronicled Kansas teams past and present, not only did I have goose bumps, but I could honestly say that I got a bit choked up about all of it.
truly special it is to be a Kansas student and experience firsthand how incredible it is to witness the every growing accomplishments of Kansas basketball.
JACK WEINSTEIN
iweinstein@kansan.com
The video was a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Fieldhouse that opened its doors in 1955. In those 50 years and the 57 years leading up to 1955, Kansas basketball became a tradition rivaled only by few in the history of college basketball.
KU's win total is third all-time behind Kentucky and North Carolina, coincidentally teams that were coached by Kansas alumnae and Phog Allen disciples Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith. The 'Hawks have four national titles, its two NCAA titles is tied for sixth all-time. KU has won an astonishing 47 conference championships. The list goes on.
But the greatest thing about Kansas basketball is that a new historic chapter is written every year. Students have the luxury of watching one of the best programs in all of college basketball. I'm sure many take this for granted at times, myself included. We may not always realize that most teams don't go to back-to-back Final Fours and an Elite Eight in a three-year period. Although we expect this type of performance from our basketball team, it doesn't mean we can't acknowledge how amazing it is.
The Kansas players and coaches may say that Late Night is an event for the fans, to showcase this year's team to those who will cheer for them and I agree that's true to some extent, but I am going to expand on that.
Late Night is also an event where the fans can show their appreciation for their team, by showing up and giving their support. Waiting for hours before entering the Fieldhouse and hours before the scrimmage began, fans of all ages demonstrated their love for and dedication to Kansas basketball. In Lawrence basketball is much more than a winter sport. It's a way of life. As long as there is a team playing at Allen Fieldhouse, there will always be 16,300 people that would do anything to see it and that's something special.

Teammate Doug Mientkiewicz congratulates the Boston Red Sox's Johnny Damon after Damon scored the game-winning run against the New York Yankees in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series yesterday in Boston. The Sox won 5-4.
Red Sox still in the game
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — After the game that seemed like it would never end. Boston's season goes on.
David Ortiz hit the 472nd pitch of the game with two outs in the 14th inning last night to cap a second straight amazing comeback and give the Red Sox a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees and send the AL championship series back to New York.
Boston had been three outs from a humiliating sweep in Game 4 before Ortiz's two-run
Now, after a 5:49 game that was the longest by time in postseason history, the Red Sox are just one victory from climbing out of a 3-0 deficit and forcing an anything-can-happen Game 7.
homer in the 12th inning ended a 5-hour, 2-minute marathon at 1:22 a.m. yesterday.
Boston was six outs from elimination in this one before Ortiz's leadoff homer off Tom Gordon and Jason Varitek's sacrifice fly off Mariano Rivera in the two-run eighth.
Johnny Damon walked with one out in the 14th to start the winning rally and Manny Ramirez walked with two outs. Ortiz then fouled off eight two-strike pitches.
Alan Embree and winner Tim Wakefield combined for eight shutout innings after the Yankees scored four runs off starter Pedro Martinez.

Astros take series lead
After Brandon Backe and Woody Williams dueled in the greatest games of their careers — and among the best in postseason history — Kent launched a three-run homer in the ninth inning last night that lifted the Astros over St. Louis 3-0 for a 3-2 edge in the NL championship series.
HOUSTON — On a night when pitching suddenly took over the NL playoffs, someone was bound to get a hit. Fortunately for the Houston Astros, Jeff Kent stepped up.
Each team had only one hit until the final inning. But that quickly changed when Carlos Beltran opened the ninth with a single off Jason Isrenghausen.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Half of the Red Sox ran to greet Damon coming home; the others met Ortiz halfway to second base. Raising his arm in triumph, as he did the night before, he leaped for joy.
Beltran stole second with one out, prompting an intentional walk to Lance Berkman. Kent then swung, flipping his bat after he connected.
Backe, who started the season in the minors, allowed one single in eight innings and Brad Lidge worked a perfect ninth for a combined one-hitter.
Now, Game 6 will be back in St. Louis tomorrow, with Matt Morris starting for St. Louis. Roger Clemens may pitch on three days' rest for the Astros -- manager Phil Garner had not yet confirmed his choice.
Kent tossed off his helmet as he headed home and said, "One more, one more."
He was right, because one more victory will put Houston in the World Series for the first time ever.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7.
Take care of matters at home tonight, before they get any worse. Whatever it is, you can deal with it. You're much tougher than you appear. Besides, you'll want to have the place cleaned up so you can entertain.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
Your friends aren't after your money; they need your good listening skills. One of them has a hurt that doesn't ever seem to heal. Just by offering comfort, and maybe a few cookies, you'll help enormously.

Junior Quarterback Jason Swanson threw the game-winning pass against Kansas State two weeks ago to junior receiver Mark Simmons. Swanson transferred last year to KU from City College of San Francisco.
Layin' low...sort of
Jason Swanson's quiet cool could result in a start at QB on Saturday
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
All around campus, the Kansas football team's victory over Kansas State left many students and fans with one burning question.
Who is Jason Swanson?
Everyone who watched the game saw him throw the game-winning touchdown pass, but up to that point, his exposure had been limited. Before last week's victory over Kansas State, Swanson, a junior college transfer, was just 2-of-4 for 25 yards on the season.
Against the Wildcats, Swanson went 4-of-7 for 52 yards. Included in those 52 yards was the miracle touchdown grab by junior receiver Mark Simmons. Simmons hauled in the pass with one hand and reached the end zone for the score.
The natural question that arises from Swanson's clutch play is who will be the quarterback when the Jayhawks go on the road to play No. 2 Oklahoma on Saturday. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said both sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann and Swanson will have the opportunity to earn the start in practice.
"I'll be real frank with you," Mangino said. "Probably won't say anything about it. I'll get a good feeling about it on game day, and we'll do what we have to do."
With an extra week between Kansas' game against Kansas State and its contest with Oklahoma, Mangino and his assistants have extra time to evaluate Swanson and Barmann side-by-side.
"We're going to prepare them equally unless something next week tells us differently." Mangino said.
When Swanson transferred from City College of San Francisco, he was expected to give Barmann a strong challenge for the starting job. While that challenge never initially materialized, Mangino alluded to the fact that the reason for that could be that Swanson is a very laid-back guy.
After the Kansas State game.
Mangino said he wished more things would bother Swanson.
"In fairness to Jason, our system is not easy to learn," Mangino said. "Adam just felt more comfortable and had repetitions from last year."
In junior college. Swanson led his team to an undefeated season and an NJCAA championship in 2003, appearing in seven games. In his two seasons there, he went 237-of-381, posting

Athletes not getting flu shot
Student-athletes are also victims of the shortage in flu shot vaccinations
BY CAROLYN THARP
sports@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
The shortage of influenza vaccines means that student-athletes who compete during flu season will not get a vaccination this year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention set standards for individuals with the highest risk of catching the flu, and most athletes don't fall into that category.
"There will be very few athletes, if any, that will get vaccinated," said Larry Magee, team physician. "They'll just have to get by without it."
The highest risk of infection is from November to March. Student-athletes involved in winter sports — basketball, swimming and track — will have to take extra caution to remain healthy this flu season.
"The flu is a really traumatic illness to have, especially during the season," said Susan Stromblad, graduate assistant athletic trainer with the track and cross country teams. "Depending on when they get it, they're going to be out of a lot of practices and maybe even a competition."
Magee estimated that at least half of athletes competing in winter sports got the flu vaccine last year.
Stromblad said the flu could have a sustained affect on athletes. They would be sore after the virus passed through their bodies and getting caught up after missing practices would be difficult, she said.
Fans don't want to see the flu sideline a Kansas player.
"It would be very unfortunate if someone like Wayne Simien had to miss an important game because he had the flu," said Stacey Payne, Memphis, Tenn., junior. "Really, that would be horrible."
Chances of contracting the flu virus are considerably high this flu season, according to medical professionals. Cathy Thrasher, clinical coordinator of support services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said a pandemic happens when influenza A mutates, because the population then does not have immunity to the new virus. This flu season is expected to reach the pandemic level.
"It would be very unfortunate if someone like
Wayne Simien had to miss an important game because he had the flu. Really, that would be horrible.
Stacey Payne Memphis, Tenn., junior
"There are trends where every so often we have a heavy flu season," Thrasher said. "There has been evidence that leads us to think we may be coming up to a cycle that will be very heavy."
Thrasher said the virus was highly contagious because many people did not know they had the flu right away. A person is infectious 24 hours before symptoms appear and five days after symptoms subside.
Although athletes typically maintain good health through exercise and training, they are still at risk of catching the virus.
"It's hard because they're not sequestered in the athletic department," Magee said. "They're out going to class and around a lot of people, some who may be sick."
Because the flu is so contagious, when one student-athlete becomes infected with the virus, the risk of infecting teammates is high. Stromblad said if someone on a team gets the flu, they would try to keep that student out of practices to prevent spreading the virus.
"It's so highly contagious. Someone could infect that whole team," Stromblad said. "These guys are living together. They share everything."
Because the vaccine is not available this year, health specialists recommend maintaining good hygiene to avoid flu infection. They advise people to wash their hands, cover their mouths and

kansas coach Mark Mangino, a former Oklahoma assistant, prepares the Jayhawks for Saturday's battle with the No. 2 Sooners.
When the Kansas football team faces Oklahoma this Saturday, it will be a homecoming of sorts for Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
Mangino served as an assistant coach for Oklahoma for three years, two of which were spent as the Sooners' offensive coordinator under current coach Bob Stoops. Mangino and Stoops also knew each other before they worked together at Oklahoma, both serving as assistants at Kansas State. During the years they worked together, they developed a strong friendship. Saturday will be the first time the two coaches have faced off since Mangino left Oklahoma for Kansas in 2002. If Kansas tops Oklahoma it would be the Jayhawks' first victory against the Sooners since 1997.
"It's different than maybe playing my brother Mike, in that we were assistants together for a long period of time," Stoops said of his brother, who is a first-year head coach at Arizona. "Here, Mark was with us in building this program and as the offensive coordinator that won a national championship."
A FIGHTING CHALLENGE.
Lindsey Hoyer follows coach Mark Mangino on the sideline of the Kansas State game.
Mangino's days at Oklahoma with Stoops have influenced how he runs his program at Kansas. Mangino said Stoops was a very positive person, a philosophy that affected how he coached
However, the coaches will not approach this game any differently.
"Once you get on the field, I never look at anything, no matter who we are playing, as anything personal," Stoops said. "So friendships or not, it has nothing to do with it."
and affects how he coaches now.
"When things go wrong, he tries to look for a silver lining." Mangino said of Stoops. "He looks for the good, and we've tried to operate under that pretense as well."
- Edited by Ryan Greene
"I think Mark had a great feel," Stoops said."He had a lot of influence over what we did here."
Mangino also believes strongly in family and giving his coaches a chance to spend time with their families, a value that was shown to him by Stoops.
Amanda Kim Stairrett/KANSAN
Mangino and Stoops led Oklahoma to a National Championship in 2001, and Mangino was then hired at Kansas. Stoops credited Mangino's influence as playing a large role in Oklahoma's success.
Mangino's special team
"We want our coaches to get home at a decent hour, to get some rest and spend time with their families," Mangino said. "I respect the way Bob approached things at OU in that regard, and I try to do that here."

Prowling the sidelines is usually the domain of coaches and players. For one University of Kansas graduate student, the sidelines are her territory as well.
Lindsey Hoyer, originally from Pittsburg, has spent the last five years as a student equipment manager for the Jayhawk football team. For the last three years she has been assigned to coach Mark Mangino, and has been his shadow ever since.
"My first year I was at every practice," Hoyer said. "Now, because of schedules and such, I work in the equipment room while the team is practicing."
Hoyer and her fellow equipment managers arrive at the stadium four hours before every game. They have to race to get everything set up before the athletes arrive two hours later. They must bring the players' pads, uniforms and other equipment from the locker room by the practice field to the stadium.
Because of her presence on the sidelines, Hoyer has seen things that many
"Game day preparation is a week long." Hover said.
At the game, Hoyer is responsible for helping Mangino with whatever he needs. She carries around his headset and keeps track of any particular information Mangino might need. Right now, her duties include keeping track of sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon's repetitions, because he plays offense and defense and Mangino worries about overworking him.
Kansas fans would never be able to understand. She has a unique perspective on the game and the crowd's influence on the players and the plays.
"Especially coming off the K-State game, that's probably the best game I've seen since I came here," Hoyer said. "The crowd was into it. The excitement on the field was unlike any other."
Not everything on the field is fun. In fact, in one game, Hoyer found herself literally running in circles to keep up with people on the field. During the game, a play came along the sideline, and an official thought he could run between Mangino and Hoyer. The two are connected by Mangino's two-foot
headset cord. Had Hoyer not run around the official, the official would have likely ended up on the turf.
No sooner had Hoyer untangled herself, then the official wanted to go back out the other way and caused another mess.
---
"In all the excitement, people forget they can't go between us," Hoyer said.
Having been to every football game for the last five years, Hoyer has had a chance to travel across the towns in the Big 12 Conference, and feel the same range of emotions that the players do with wins and losses.

Ticket pick-up improves daily
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Picking up men's basketball tickets was much quicker yesterday than it was on Monday. The lines outside the ticket windows at Allen Fieldhouse took about 15 minutes throughout the day.
Yesterday, two "express" windows were available for students who wanted to pick-up only one set of tickets. Marchiony said students redeeming tickets for numerous people was one of the main issues that caused Monday's lines to stretch out to Javawk Boulevard.
Students who stood in Monday's lines to pick up their tickets probably panicked because they thought there would be a lottery, said Jim Marehony, associate athletics director.
"The lines for the kids who had just one ID was very minimal and in some cases, nothing at all," Marchiony said.
When Matt Wadan, Wichita senior, picked up his tickets just after 4 yesterday afternoon, he walked directly to the ticket window without standing in

At the end of the 20th century, American culture was probably the most homophobic society ever to exist, said Robert Minor, professor of Religious Studies.
Minor led a workshop titled Scared Straight: How Homophobia Hurts Us All last night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Minor said he presents workshops around the nation, though only seven people participated in last night's workshop.
Minor defined homophobia as "the fear of getting close to one's own sex."
"If you're brought up in the U.S. you are homophobic," Minor said. "You're trained to be."
He said all people in American culture suffered from homophobia — whether people classified themselves as heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual.
Overcoming homophobia means accepting yourself and being comfortable with who you are, he said.
Gender roles are instilled in people from an early age, he said. The first question asked when a baby is born, is
Minor's workshop focused on how gender roles are created and perpetuated and "how to be healthy when the society around you is sick."

Thomas Frank signs copies of his book "What's the Matter with Kansas" yesterday evening in the Kansas Union
Kansas' politics explained
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Thomas Frank offered his explanation last night for what he saw as a strange phenomenon.
He was confused by a particular direction in American politics. The poorest county in America, he said, is in Nebraska, and its citizens voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 election with 80 percent of the vote.
"I used to think the Democrats were the party of the poor, the weak, the victimized," he said.
That trend has changed, he argued last night at the Kansas Union and in his book, What's the Matter With Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America.
He said conservatives used a strategy that he called "the Great Backlash," where culture outweighs economics and values matter above all else.
"The leaders of the backlash may talk Christ, but they wage corporate," he said. "You vote to stop abortion, and you receive a rollback in capital gains taxes."
this strategy allowed conservatives to win the votes of farmers and union workers in Kansas, who voted on their values instead of the economy.

Few students took time to fill out the online course evaluations at the end of last semester, student body vice president Jeff Dunlap said.
In an Organic Chemistry class taught by Robert Carlson, professor in the department of chemistry, about 28 percent of students filled out the online course evaluations. Carlson said the results wouldn't be representative of the class because so few students filled out the evaluations.
Only five percent of Leslie Tuttle's 127-person Western Civilization class completed the online evaluation last spring.

Munch, Bellevue, Neb., junior, said that if the evaluations were completed, they would help students gauge instructors' teaching styles and popularities.
Students can not type their own comments on the online course evaluations. Because the evaluations are public, the faculty and administration would not allow student comments on them, Dunlap, Leawood senior, said.

Lumpkin plans to return next semester as a full-time teacher
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Angela Lumpkin, dean of education, announced Monday that she would step down from the position for personal reasons, effective Sunday.
"It's an unusual time of a semester for a dean to step down," David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, said.
The school will announce the new interim dean sometime this week, he said.
After the semester ends, Lumpkin will return to full-time teaching at the University of Kansas, he said.
Lumpkin was not available to comment yesterday.
Searches for permanent replacements usually last between six and eight
months, Todd Cohen, University Relations spokesperson, said.
A new permanent dean could be named sometime next year, but it is not guaranteed. he said.
Lumpkin's announcement came as a surprise to Keith Tennant, a colleague and chair of health, sport and exercise sciences. Lumpkin has had a positive influence of the School of Education, he said.
"I always had a good working relationship with Dean Lumpkin," he said. "She was an excellent dean."
School of Education students will probably not notice the change, he said.
Last spring, controversy arose when Lumpkin announced that the school would cut its physical education program, but she later allowed students to enter the program again.
She also taught at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina.
Lumpkin was previously a faculty member and dean of the State University of West Georgia before coming to the University of Kansas.

Karzai leads in Afghan election
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan — With one-third of the votes counted in Afghanistan's landmark presidential election, Hamid Karzai was leading with 64 percent, and his campaign team said yesterday it was certain the interim leader will win with the simple majority required to avoid a run-off.
The camp of ethnic Uzbek warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum, currently third, also said yesterday that the race is over, but Karzai's main challenger accuses the U.S.-backed incumbent of cheating and refuses to concede defeat.
Karzai, who has served as president since U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban regime in late 2001, has mixed results in the returns from northern and central provinces where his ethnic Tajik and Uzbek rivals are strongest. However, he appears set to sweep southern and eastern regions dominated by his fellow Pashtun tribesmen.
Karzai's rivals have lodged dozens of complaints with a panel of foreign experts, though it is unclear if the panel will report before the expected release of the official election result at the end of October. Karzai needs at least 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff. Election officials have said the tallies are unlikely to change much once 20 percent of the votes have been counted.
The four election workers and two police officers had been stuck in freezing conditions in northeastern Badakshan province since Oct. 12. On that day, a U.N. helicopter sent to collect them crash-landed in the towering Pamir range, an illustration of the difficulties facing election organizers. Donkeys have also been used to bring ballots from remote valleys in other parts of Badakhshan.
NATO helicopters on yesterday rescued a team of Afghan election workers from snowbound mountains in the country's remotest corner, and retrieved the last four ballot boxes containing ballots from the Oct. 9 election.
The election was a milestone in Afghanistan's modern history. Although the country is still dogged by Taliban-led rebels, factional fighting and a burgeoning drug trade, Afghans turned out in force to vote, seeing the event as a chance for peace and democracy after a quarter-century of conflict.
The official election Web site, which keeps a rolling tally of results, said that 36 percent of the estimated 8 million votes cast have been counted, including at least partial returns from all 34 provinces.
"We think we are secure now," Karzai's campaign spokesman, Hamed Elmi, told The Associated Press. "When they announce it formally, then we will celebrate." He said the president's campaign staff was "100 percent" sure they would win in the first round of voting.
Karzai has captured 1,857,476 votes, or 64.4 percent. His closest challenger, former Education Minister Yunus Qanoooni, trails with 16.6 percent. Dostum is third with 7.4 percent.
Chafiga Habibi, vice presidential candidate on Dostum's ticket, told AP on yesterday, "I think Karzai is going to win because he's a long way ahead in the results, and we can't ignore this
Karzai is seen by many Afghans as untainted by the country's bloody past and the best chance for bridging its ethnic divisions, although signs are that voting has largely followed tribal lines.
reality."
In 13 Pashtun-dominated provinces in the south and east, Karzai is winning with more than 80 percent of the vote. Yet in many of the 12 provinces where he is trailing, he has less than 20 percent — most notably in Qanooni's stronghold in the Panjshir Valley, where Karzai currently polls less than 1 percent of the vote.
Qanooni, an ethnic Tajik, has refused to concede defeat and claimed on Monday that ballot boxes had been stuffed with votes in favor of Karzai in at least four provinces. Election officials say there is no evidence of this.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military said yesterday that it had arrested a Taliban suspect in connection with a blast that killed five people traveling in an election commission vehicle in southeastern Paktika province the previous day. They also seized explosives and "other evidence linking this attack to the Taliban," a statement issued in Kabul said.
Although the Oct. 9 polling day was largely peaceful, Taliban rebels have killed at least 13 election workers this year.
ON THE RECORD
"We know they are the enemy of our country and they were not able to do anything on polling day, but still they are trying to disrupt the process." Afghan presidential spokesman Jawed Ludin said of the rebels.
A 55-year-old computer operator at the University of Kansas reported that someone stole the license plate off her car sometime between Wednesday night and Monday night. Her loss is estimated at about $10.

Award touts University's blood drive participation
American Red Cross Central Plains Region presented the University of Kansas with the University of the Year award Oct. 7 during its annual meeting in Wichita. The University had higher blood drive numbers than 40 other Kansas universities and colleges that host blood drives, said Kimberly Patrick, marketing director for the Community Blood Center.
"KU does an awesome job of getting people out to donate," Patrick said.
The University drives provide more than 1,800 pints of blood to the American Red Cross Central Plains Region Blood Services and the Community Blood Center. The two blood services provide blood to 179 hospitals in Kansas, Missouri and Northern Oklahoma.
Nick Lawler, Kansas City, Mo., senior and vice president of the KU Blood Drive, said he hoped that the award would be displayed in the Union.
"We're really excited that everyone came out," Lawer said. "We are trying to have the award displayed so students can see all the hard work that they do for the community."
]
New banners, more advertising and the KU Blood Drive Web site aided in the drive's success, Lawler said.

CHICAGO — A federal appeals court on Tuesday scuttled a proposed settlement under which Sprint Corp. and three other phone companies would have paid an estimated $142 million to owners of land where they have placed fiber-optic cables.
Federal appeals court throws Sprint settlement plan out
In its split decision, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the interests of dissenting landowners in Tennessee and Kansas who had already been certified for class-action suits in their states were not adequately represented under the settlement.

Deserted house haunts neighbors
BY AMANDA O'TOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The house at 1510 Sigma Nu Place looks like a relic of the past.
Windows are broken or boarded up, there are stains on the siding, and a weathered couch is the only thing in the parking lot.
No one has lived there for more than a year and a half, and some tenants of neighboring greek houses are getting nervous.
The house and the land are part of a legal suit between Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and Alpha Omicron Pi sorority.
Alpha Omicron Pi owns the land and rented the house to the fraternity from 2000 to 2003.
According to an article published in The University Daily Kansas in Sept. 2003, the house would have required about $850,000 for mechanical repairs and mold removal at the time the fraternity members moved out.
Chris Burger, the fraternity's lawyer, said, "the court is
determining the amount of monetary damage to award to Lamda Chi resulting from AO Pi's breach of lease and, once determined, is being appealed by AO Pi, hopefully concluded by June of "05."
Lamda Chi would tear the building down at that point, Burger said, so there would no longer be any concern regarding the unoccupied building.
Lance Weeks, Lambda Chi Alpha house corporation president, said the suit was ongoing.
He said the house had been abandoned since the 65 to 70 Lambda Chi Alpha members moved out of the house in May 2003. They are now living in building eight of The Legends, 4101 W. 24th Place.
The chance of a settlement between the two organizations is uncertain. Weeks said.
Members of Alpha Chi Omega regularly run past the abandoned house between their parking lot and the sorority house, Hannah Berns, vice president of risk management, said.
The Peabody senior has instructed members of her sorority not to go near the
house and to notify an executive member if they see suspicious activity there.
It's not uncommon for girls to sprint from their cars to the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house, which neighbors the empty house on Sigma Nu Place.
"The main concern is for the girls' safety," she said. "It's definitely become a safety issue because the house is not being taken care of and it could be housing unknown people."
Tenants of the Sigma Nu fraternity house, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, noticed increased police activity when the house was first abandoned in 2003, Jason Watson, Sigma Nu president said.
Watson said there were rumors of homeless people living in the house and said Lawrence police had taken care of the situation.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said there had been no arrests for trespassing since the house was vacated. But that doesn't mean that someone hadn't been in the house, he said.
Watson said there wasn't
much of a problem anymore.
"As far as where we live, it brings down the aesthetic value of the neighborhood," he said. "There is actually a pretty consistent surveillance route the police have. They're over there all the time."
Berns said Alpha Chi Omega members have called the police in several instances including responses to glass being broken and suspicious persons at the abandoned house.
Watson said he could understand if residents of the Alpha Chi Omega house don't feel safe because they are the closest neighbors to the empty house.
Officers responded to a burglary at the house July 8, Ward said.
Since July, Lawrence police have entered the building for building checks 10 times, a fairly high number, Ward said.
He said officers are trained to check buildings like the house at 1510 Sigma Nu Place whenever they feel it's necessary and whenever they have time.

The old Alpha Omicron Pi house, 1510 Sigma Nu Place, sits dilapidated. Lamba Chi Alpha vacated the property in May 2003. There have been reports of vagrants squatting in the house since its closure 17 months ago.

City and University to hold birthday party for Godzilla
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
Godzilla is storming back into Lawrence with a vengeance, but no need to worry because he's in a good mood. Mayor Mike Rundle proclaimed the week of Oct. 24-30 as "Godzilla Week" at last night's city commission meeting.
Godzilla has made an appearance in 28 feature films and this year marks the 50th anniversary of Godzilla's first film, Gojira. The Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Kansas is hosting
what it called the world's largest Godzilla birthday celebration, "In Godzilla's Footsteps: Japanese Pop Culture Icons on the Global Stage."
"The special effects aren't great. You laugh at them a little bit. The dubbing is terrible, but that's all part of the experience and so they're very endearing," Bill Tsutsui, acting director for the Center.
The celebration will include events such as a two-day conference with scholars and screenings of three Godzilla films. All events are free and open to the public.
In other city commission news
The commission received a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community award on behalf of the City of Lawrence.
The League looks at several factors when considering granting an award to a city: physical environment for bicycling such as trails and parking, educational programs promoting sharing
The League of American Bicyclists has now recognized 44 communities across the United States. The bronze award still leaves some room for improvement in encouraging more people to ride their bikes.
of the road between bicyclists and drivers, promotions encouraging people to ride their bicycles more often and equal enforcement of traffic laws for motorists and cyclists.
Lawrence is the second community in Kansas to receive the award, Shawnee was the first. Only 44 of the 98 applicants received the award, and no communities have received the highest achievement, platinum. Four communities have received the gold award, 11 the silver and 29 the bronze.
The month of September in Lawrence is dedicated to bicycle education for children and May
is Bicycle Awareness Month
A site plan for a new fire station was also approved. The plan was approved four to zero with Sue Hack, city commissioner, absent.
Fire Station No. 5 will be located at 19th and Iowa streets. This is the first additional station to be built since 1982 and is part of a three-station process. Station No. 4 was moved to the east part of Lawrence and Station No. 2 was moved to the west part of town.
The station will enhance protection for the University, because it will be closer to campus, said Jim McSwain, fire and medical chief for Lawrence and Douglas County.
The Endowment Association leased the land, three-and-a-half acres, to the city for $1 each year.
The City of Lawrence needed the station to be at 19th and Iowa streets, because Lawrence has grown so much the fire and medical departments needed to have a shorter response time. The University liked the idea of having the station there, said Daryl Beene, senior vice-president of property for the Endowment.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
www.kansan.com
Consumer buying power can make a statement against fur Dear Editor:
By now, most people know that real fur is about as fun as having a steel trap clamped on your leg.
As Jayme Aschemeyer, aptly put it in her Oct. 18 Kansan column ("Fur fashion trend cruel mistake"), "There is just no reason to decorate oneself with fur."
PETA members have been busyworking undercover at a Michigan chinchilla farm to reveal the cruelties of fur farming, lampooning designer John Galliano in an ad proclaiming "Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People," and photographing Oscar-winner Charlize Theron and her dog for an anti-fur ad to be released this winter.
But the most important voice in the fur trade is the consumer's: fur-selling companies are more likely to change their ways if they hear from customers.
Horrified by rabbit-fur earmuffs or a fox-trimmed jacket? Let the company know!
Animals caught in the wild for their fur often face days of agony in traps, tearing flesh and breaking bones in a struggle to get free.
On fur farms, they spend their entire lives confined to cramped, filthy cages, constantly pacing back and forth from stress and boredom.
They are poisoned, gassed, strangled, or electrocuted before their fur is torn from their flesh.
No compassionately correct person would be caught dead wearing the dead these davs.
See the horrors of the fur trade for
yourself by watching PETA's video expose at FurlsDead.com.

If China or Russia had invaded Iraq, the United States would have been screaming "Aggressor!", but when we do it, it's in the name of freedom. We do not stand alone in the world. We are a part of a greater global community.
Secure your future by voting in the upcoming elections Dear Editor:
Please exercise your right to vote this year. Study the facts and the issues and ask yourself which candidate is better qualified to lead us forward in the global world which our children and grandchildren will inherit.
Are we better off than we were four years ago? I think not. Unemployment is up; gasoline and utility prices are high; and health insurance costs gobble up the rest of a paycheck.
We are in debt over a war that should never have been fought. More than 1,000 soldiers have been killed and a great many more are wounded.
And for what? A president who dug in his heals and wouldn't work with the other countries in the world.
Kansas voters are independent thinkers. It's time to assert that independence and vote to put the right person in office, not to follow a party line.
It's time for a change. Vote John Kerv.

Yeah, is this KUInfo? What's the procedure for impeaching student senators?
I'd like to thank my sociology professor for cancelling class today so that we could stand in line for four hours to get basketball tickets. This is ridiculous.
I'm freezing cold, I had a flat tire this morning, and I've been standing in line for three hours to get KU basketball tickets. I'm not having a very good day today.

Given our choice in this election, a choice between a stupid liar and a marginally smarter liar,I think the only truly patriotic thing that any of us can do as Americans today is to get in the car and move to Canada.
If JFK had been in Vienna instead of Berlin when he said, "Ich bin ein Berliner." He would have actually said, "Ich bin ein Vienner." Which means, "I am a weiner." But you have to admit, it's really post-modern when the president of the United States is going around saying, "I am a jelly donut."

Perfect speech impossible to reach
Nobody's perfect
LANGUAGE RULES!
Specifically, no one is linguistically perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes in the language they use — even us, the grammar geeks, who just flouted subject/object agreement with "everyone" and "they."
The combination of a complex and freewheeling language with its only-too-human users can never be 100 percent error free: mistakes and errors are to be expected (passive voice, we know).
Mistakes and errors expose the brain's impact on language. Have you ever noticed that when you say a wrong word, you almost always say something that is somehow related to the word you meant? Somehow, most of the time, the brain misplaces nouns with other nouns and verbs with other verbs. Or, someone will say a word that sounds like the intended word; for example, in a big important meeting last year, one of us said 'dramastically' instead of 'dramatically.'
LAUREN AND JOHN
In addition, transposed words often have closely related meanings. During this year's second presidential debate, President Bush accidentally denounced "Senator Kennedy" as "the most liberal senator of all." He was close — Kennedy is a politically famous name, and the names 'Kerry' and 'Kennedy' have a lot in common. We're not trying to pick on the president, but his Kerry/Kennedy transposition is a good example of an inadvertent error. Sigmund Freud attributed close word relationships in slips like this to the repressed unconscious. That may be a bit extreme, but the

Errors and mistakes also reveal important attitudes about language. One of the most prevalent attitudes in modern, educated society is that linguistic mastery corresponds with intelligence. That is, the more correctly one speaks, the more likely that people perceive him or her as intelligent.
While this correlation makes sense in some respects, because American society generally associates intelligence with education, and education with proper English, it is hard to deny the reality that intelligence comes in many forms. Linguistic ability doesn't necessarily reflect spatial or musical intelligence, for example. Even if people can't use language flawlessly, there's more to being smart than sounding smart.
Why do people still associate intelligence and standard English? Maybe because improving one's language seems like a manageable task. The whole idea of teaching/learning grammar in public schools relies upon the assumption that language is manage-
ante, or that anyone can 'master' it,
because so many people do.
Thus, it is easy to depreciate the intelligence of people like President Bush because of linguistic flaws. Bush has had plenty of opportunities to learn proper grammar, yet he still doesn't always use forms of the "tobe" verb correctly. For example, Bush has publicly remarked that "this is historic times" more than once (October 2003, April 2003), and in June he changed the statement to "this is an historic times."
The President's frequent grammar gaffes (as catalogued in plenty of Web sites, books and articles) sometimes seem to be part of his informal speaking style and image. Mistakes, errors and casual words like "gosh" have become part of Bush's "everyman" persona. In the third Presidential Debate, he acknowledged that his wife "speaks English a lot better than I do. I think people understand what she's saying." Does Bush choose not to improve his English?
Even without considering his political decisions and affiliations, Bush doesn't enhance his image as an intelligent person through his choices of language patterns. Whether this helps or hurts him depends on the audience.
But just as there is more to leadership than linguistic prowess, there is more to language and intelligence than perfection.

Keep wall between church, state
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
We live in a time when issues with religious subtext dominate our political discourse. Leaders consistently blend religious, legal and political arguments when it comes to abortion, stem-cell research, gay marriage, the Pledge of Allegiance and even the war in Iraq. This divisive dialogue has brought the idea of separation of church and state under much scrutiny.
POLITICAL COMMENTARY
The constitutional aspect of church and state separation demonstrates the true brilliance of our Founding Fathers. Many people immigrated to America in search of religious freedom; it was the civil rights issue of the day. Religious freedom is an ideal intrinsically tied to the first American settlers and therefore the American experience.
BLAKE SWENSON opinion@kansan.com
This election year the line between religion and government is often blurred. It is important that we understand the historical development of this American value.
that there must be a separation between the religious and secular worlds to protect the integrity of religion.
The metaphor of a wall separating the two institutions first appears in 1644. Evangelist Roger Williams references the biblical thought that there exists a "wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world." Williams believed
James Madison, the original author of the Bill of Rights, also vigorously fought to separate church and state. His fight began in 1785 with his "Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments." Madison wrote it in response to the proposal by the state of Virginia to institute religious taxes. In his report Madison tells us that governmental assistance to religion will only divide society into religious factions and whomever is in power will decide which creed the government will support.
Thomas Jefferson references the importance of religious freedom in 1779 with his "Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom." Jefferson feared that if there was no wall of separation that the religion of the majority would lead to the persecution and oppression of minority religions.
In 1789 Congress passes the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment outlines the separation of church and state. It states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Finally, the Vinson court applies the establishment clause to the states in Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing Township. Justice Black delivers the opinion of the Court and writes, "In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect a wall of separation between Church and State."
In this time when the country is so divided it is more important to understand the ideals that make this country a beacon of hope. There is a reason the United States is so unique: It's called the constitution, so go read, learn and spread the word.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" he said. Lesley Bartlett, Hector, Ark., graduate student said Minor's workshop helped her realize that gender roles had affected the way she asked questions. She felt unsure because she was a woman, she said.

Minor said gender roles were reinforced in violence, threats of violence, ridicule, humiliation, isolation and rejection.
Homophobia hadn't always existed the way it does now, and
Minor gave an example from a biblical story about two men who had a close relationship. One man wrote a song lamenting the other man's death.
"In biblical times people could have relationships so close that men could say my love for you is greater than that of women," he said. "Where is that in the music of today?"
He said either men considered it too scandalous to experience it or they were too scared to talk about it now.
The workshop was part or a
series of events organized by the Sexuality Education Committee. The group's purpose was to promote sexual awareness and living a sexually healthy life, said Hadley Ruggles, member of the committee. Part two of Scared Straight, oppression dynamics and how gender roles are maintained, will be next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. Minor will lead that discussion also.

more useful than numerical data from the course evaluations she was required to distribute at the end of each semester.
But she said she could understand why faculty members would hesitate to make student comments public — the comments could be slanderous.
During the past 10 years, different individuals and groups at the University of Kansas have attempted to implement ways for students to evaluate their classes and personally benefit from those evaluations.
The online evaluations for students became a reality last spring after Student Senate and University faculty and administration finally agreed on an online format.
RATING KU PROFESSORS: WHAT TO EXPECT
Student Senate wanted a service that could be connected to the University's Web sites, but other universities have opted for private programs like pickaprof.com, which allows students to review professors for a registration fee.
Ten of the Big 12 Conference schools are listed as members of Pick-A-Prof. The University of Kansas and Iowa State University are the only two that don't use the service.
Ratemyp professors.com is a free site that allows anyone to rate instructors at schools nationwide,
The online course evaluations can be found on the KU Web site by going to the KU Index and clicking on course evaluations. Students need their KU online IDs to access the evaluations. The evaluations consist of 10 statements. Students rate each statement from one to five, from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree" or from difficult to easy.

- The instructor gave periodic feedback in a constructive manner.
- The text was essential for successful completion of this course.
- With respect to difficulty of the material, this class was:

This class significantly improved my understanding of the material.

including 570 at the University.
The site has a disclaimer that reads, "Comments should be about teaching ability.
Every new rating is reviewed, and we reserve the right to delete comments or an entire rating."
They were introduced at the end of the spring semester.
Enrollment begins Oct. 22, and though the online course evaluations may not be useful for this semester, Munch said he thought students would remember to fill out the evaluations at the end of the fall semester.
"I want students to realize if they don't contribute to it, they won't get anything back from it," he said.
Dunlap said he blamed a lack of publicity for the online evaluations' limited success.

cited increased tuition funds and a new tuition structure as a huge move forward for the School of Education.
The School of Education enrolls more than 600 undergraduate students in five programs of study and 1,300 graduate students in 16 programs.

POLITICS: Frank crowd was mostly liberal
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Republicans used this strategy to gain control of all three branches of government, he said, and were economically harming those lower-class voters.
The harm, he said, came from lesser wages on the bottom of society, and more near the top.
He also said conservatives blamed the "liberal elite" for the problems in society, a tactic he said was mirrored by the old proletarian writers of the 1930s who blamed capitalism for societies problems.
"The gap between the two classes is too huge today," he said.
uphold were usually issues where they could not succeed, so the effect were policies that benefited the rich, but didn't uphold the values of those voters.
He said CEOs make 500 times what their blue-collar counterparts make today, as opposed to 42 times as much in 1980.
He said the morals that these candidates were promising to
"When these people choose their cultural battles, they always choose a battle where victory is impossible," he said.
He cited as evidence of this claim that abortion is still legal, school prayer is still not allowed and there is no constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
He said the Democrats needed to reorganize and speak a language of social class, like the Republicans.
"I think the old ideology still works," he said.
Frank was speaking to a mostly liberal crowd in the ballroom of the Kansas Union, where many of his remarks drew applause.
Sarah Stacy, a senior who moved during her freshman year from Washington, D.C., to Bucyrus, a small town in Miami County, said Frank's message resonated well with her.
She said it puzzled her that some Kansans placed values over the economy.
"It's amazing," she said.
"Religion is a powerful tool."
Michael Younker, a senior from Ellinwood, a town in central Kansas, attended the speech last night. He described himself as a populist, but he said he understood why people like those in his town voted on morals.
"I personally find it a little bit strange," he said. "But I know what they're voting on; they're voting on emotional issues."
TICKETS: Lottery possible after tomorrow

"I thought it was funny to walk by and see the long big lines because they said they weren't going to sell out except for the big games," he said.
Marchiony said the combined number of tickets distributed Monday and yesterday was "not at the lottery point." But he said the athletic department was not able to come up with an exact number.
guaranteed seats. If that many tickets are distributed by 5 p.m., the leftover students will be entered into a lottery for the remaining 200 seats. If fewer than 200 students show up by 5 p.m. to claim the remaining seats, there will not be a lottery and the students will be sent the tickets.
The first 3,800 students are
Marchiony credited Monday's rush to a combination of eager fans and those who were worried that there would definitely be a lottery.
"You've got the die-hards that want to go to every game and the ones that thought there was going to be a lottery,"
Marchionv said.
The athletic department is evaluating the new process of distributing tickets and trying to make improvements, Marchiony said. The system for distributing student tickets and the priority point system are both new concepts in the athletics department
"I don't feel awkward saying this is a learning process," Marchiony said. "We will make our mistakes and learn from them and do things better and make the process smoother."

Todav's Birthday (Oct. 20).
You're facing a difficult task this year, something you don't want to do. You've put it off long enough. Go through it, and get to your reward. You'll feel so much better once it's done that you'll hardly recognize yourself.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Todav is a 6.
Do the work you're assigned with love, and don't think about asking for money. What you'll gain is something you'd never be able to buy anyway.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Criticism from an older person isn't much appreciated. Maybe your ego is in the way. Assess the situation objectively. If that's not possible, ask a friend.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7.
A conversation about finances could become rather sticky, so beware. There's no point in complaining. Suggest a better alternative.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7.
HOROSCOPES
You don't like it when people raise their voices in anger in your home. Enforce that rule.
The argument will be resolved a whole lot sooner, or they'll move it someplace else.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
Try not to be intimidated by the size of the job. Start thinking about the specialists you can ask to give you a helping hand. Start out with a person who's good with machinery.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
A night on the town may be out of the question, but that's not a reason to grieve. A night spent at home could be lots more fun anyway. Invite somebody you love.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7.
Scorpio (Oct, 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Continue with the chores and all the changes that you're making. You may not get the project done, but you can make the commitment. Start with a bigger mess; that's part of being creative.
You've got determination, and that ought to make up for whatever else you might lack. Keep learning as fast as you can. That helps, too, as you'll soon see.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7.
Instead of wasting your newfound wealth, spend it on something important. Buy books, or sign up for a class. Keep your magnificent brain cells busy, and they will serve you well.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7.
You're not going to change your position, and neither is the other person. Present the facts logically, and then step out of the way for a while. Let your adversary figure it out.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6.
You work well under pressure. You tend to settle down and seriously concentrate. This is a wonderful thing. Now if you could do it without the pressure, that would be even better. Practice.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today in a 7.
Don't offer a needy person a fish; teach him or her to cast a line. Actually, going fishing together would be a wonderful thing. You'd teach each other a lot that you didn't even realize you don't know.

Motive in Peterson case questioned
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Scott Peterson was not experiencing money problems and stood more to gain financially if his pregnant wife remained alive, a defense witness testified yesterday at his murder trial.
Martin Laffer, a certified public accountant and former Internal Revenue Service investigator, testified yesterday that the Petersons appeared to be in good financial shape.
"Does it appear to you they were doing well for a young married couple with a baby on the way at their age?" defense attorney Mark Geragos asked.
Laffer said Peterson was paying $1,300 a month toward the mortgage on the couple's home, $50 more than the minimum required payment.
"Yes, they were fine," Laffer replied.
"Is there anything you see from the credit report that indicated Mr. Peterson did not have good credit?" Geragos prodded.
"Not at all, just the opposite," Laffer said.
Prosecutors have suggested that aside from Peterson's affair as a motive for murder, he hoped to gain from a $250,000 life insurance policy taken out on
Laci Peterson more than a year before she vanished.
Prosecutors have tried to portray the couple as being in financial straits. An auditor who testified previously for the prosecution said the couple had about $210,000 in debt, including their home mortgage.
"just the fact that somebody's selling something doesn't mean they need money," Laffer said.
During cross-examination of Laffer Tuesday, prosecutor Dave Harris noted the Petersons had been selling jewelry at pawn shops in the weeks before Laci vanished.
Laffer testified Monday that while Peterson's startup fertilizer
business was struggling, the parent company had assumed all debt and in fact had planned to lose money the first four years.
He also said that Laci Peterson was set to inherit part of $2.4 million from the estate of her grandparents,including part of $480,000 from the sale of their home.
She had already inherited about $100,000 in jewelry after her grandmother's death.
Laffer added that Peterson would have benefited from the inheritance only if Laci were still alive and the two were married. The money is now being split between two of Laci's siblings, he said.
President presses intelligence bill
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday asked Congress to reject an attempt by Republican leaders in the House to place in an intelligence reorganization bill some anti-illegal immigration measures that Democrats say they won't support.
The Bush administration wants "an effective bill that both Houses can pass and the president can sign into law as soon as possible to meet the nation's security needs," national security adviser Condoleezza Rice and budget director Joshua Bolten said in a letter to congressional leaders.
negotiate a compromise on legislation based on the recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission.
Bush himself earlier called for lawmakers to hurry to finish their negotiations.
"These reforms are necessary to stay ahead of the threats," the president said in a Monday campaign speech. "I urge Congress to act quickly so I can sign them into law."
The House bill would expand the number of aliens subject to quick deportation by increasing the amount of time they would have to be in the United States to be exempted from speedy deportation.
Rice and Bolten's letter came as congressional negotiators prepared for their first public meeting on Wednesday to
The White House provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press on Tuesday to ensure its side was publicly represented as the legislation becomes entangled in election-season politics.
"This is a blueprint and a path to a bill the president could sign to make our country safer and stronger," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said.
The Sept. 11 commission recommended the creation of a national intelligence director position to control almost all of the nation's 15 intelligence agencies, saying the agencies did not work together properly to stop the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York City and Washington.
Design excellence goes to architects
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The architects who designed Bill Clinton's presidential library, a gleaming glass and steel building over the Arkansas River that invokes his administration's theme of "building a bridge to the 21st century," has won a National Design Award for excellence in architecture.
Polshek Partnership Architects of New York, whose projects include Carnegie's newest concert hall and the planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, was one of two winners in the architecture design category for the prizes, awarded yesterday by the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Architect Rick Joy, currently working on a resort in Utah and several residential projects in the Southwest, also received an architecture award.
The $165 million Clinton presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., is scheduled to open next month with a major celebration and is expected to draw 300,000 visitors in 2005. The structure, designed to feel airy
and inviting, also mimics six industrial bridges that span the river and contribute to the city's aesthetic.
Polshek Partnership specializes in projects for educational, cultural and nonprofit organizations and tries to combine beauty with a connection to history, company founder James Polshek said.
"Architecture has a responsibility somewhat greater than making beautiful form — it has to make beautiful form that has some lasting meaning," he said.
Polshek Partnership also was recently selected to design an underground exhibit center at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Polshek and Joy were to receive the architecture awards Tuesday evening at a ceremony that celebrates and raises public awareness about "the important role that design and designers play in people's lives," museum director Paul Thompson said. "This year the jury seems to have made a very strong commitment toward environmental responsibility and design that emphasizes human values."

Gabe Toomey said he had his best practice of the season Monday. The senior linebacker said his legs felt fresh and all of his bumps and bruises had healed.
After three days of rest and relaxation, that was the feeling among the rest of the Kansas football team. The team practiced Thursday afternoon but had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off because its bye week came during the University of Kansas' fall break.
Sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann said he went home to Weston, Mo., to spend time with his family and watch college football.
"It was a really relaxing weekend," Barmann said. "It was good to get away and spend time at home."
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he thought his team was refreshed after the time off.
"We have had two very good practices this week," Mangino said. "We are looking forward to the challenge this week."
This will be the second consecutive year that Kansas' bye week came after an important victory. Last year's bye came after the Kansas' 35-14 victory over the Missouri. The Jayhawks faced the Tigers on Sept. 27, 2003, and didn't play again until Oct. 11, when they lost to Colorado in overtime.
The Jayhawks defeated their in-state rival, Kansas State, Oct. 9.
Defensive tackle Tim Allen said that after getting some rest, the team had a serious attitude.
"Now that the bye week is over, we have been really focused on this week's game," Allen said. "They are a great team. We need to play our best football."
Toomey said he spent most of his fall break sleeping and watching football.
"The bye week came at a perfect time." Toomey said. "Now we have to get back to playing football."
Toomey and Barmann said they watched this week's opponent, Oklahoma, play Kansas State last Saturday. The No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners defeated the Wildcats. 31-21.
"I thought that K-State played them well," Barmann said. "But Oklahoma is a great team and we will have to play even better this week."
Mangino told his players that, because of the way the Big 12 schedule works, most of the players on the team
will only get one chance to play a game in Norman, Okla. All six teams in the Big 12 North play each other every year, but alternate the campus they play on. Big 12 North teams play three Big 12 South teams every year, playing the same group of three for two consecutive years. So Kansas will face Oklahoma twice in the next four years, this year in Norman, Okla., and next year in Lawrence.
his only opportunity to play in Norman.
"It is fun to play in places like that," Barmann said of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. "I will probably never get to play in a place like that again."
Toomey said that makes it even more important for the Jayhawks to play well.
"We have a lot on the line," Toomey said. "We need to go down there and just play a good game."

Top recruit chooses Longhorns

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
C. J. Miles, a 6-foot-5 high school guard from Dallas, announced his decision to attend the University of Texas at a press conference yesterday.
The senior, ranked 26th overall by Rivals.com, considered Kansas and Georgia Tech before committing to Texas and coach Rick Barnes. Miles also received offers from North Carolina, Arizona, Oklahoma, Illinois and Oklahoma State.
"The Texas basketball program is on the way up." Miles told Rivals.com. "I think we can win a national championship."
Kansas coach Bill Self originally recruited both Miles and his summer league teammate Kevin Rogers. But after signing forward Julian Wright, Self was forced to withdraw his offer to Rogers, who signed with Baylor.
Kansas has one scholarship
remaining for next year after signing Wright and guards Mario Chalmers and Micah Downs. Self might offer the scholarship to Martynas Pocius, a 6-foot-5 guard who attended Late Night, or might choose to save the scholarship for the 2006 season.
ALEXANDER
Pocius, originally from Lithuania, will visit Duke this weekend before making a decision between the two schools. Pocius is expected to make his decision during the next two weeks.
Jerry Smith, whom Rivals.com ranks 27th in the class of 2006, has already decided to return for an official visit to Kansas next year after his experience at

Kansas basketball notes
Late Night.
"The visit to Kansas was definitely an exciting time." Smith told Rivals.com. "I am really wide open right now, but Kansas increased their chances of getting me on campus after I graduate."
- Cole Aldrich, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Bloomington, Minn., also enjoyed his visit to Late Night.
"Kansas is right at the top of my list." Aldrich told Rivals.com. "I know that I have a lot of time left before I need to make any decisions about my future, but Kansas is definitely my leader."
The Kansas men's basketball team will begin tryouts for walk-on candidates at 7 p.m. Monday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Aldrich, ranked the sixth-best player in his class, is also receiving interest from Arizona, Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina.
Any Kansas student wanting to out will need to show up at 6:30 p.m.
on Monday with proof of health insurance and proof of a physical exam taken during the past year. Students can have an exam at Watkins Health Center, if needed.
The men's basketball office, 864-3056, will answer any questions about the process.
Kansas is only five days into the new season, but coach Bill Self has already had to deal with three groin injuries.
Guards Stephen Vinson and Jeremy Case did not participate in the Late Night scrimmage because of groin injuries, and freshman forward Alex Galindo was held out of practice earlier this week with a similar ailment.
Case bruised his pelvic bone while stretching for a pick-up game, and Vinson was injured after slipping on a towel at the team's preseason conditioning drills.

Voucher debacle raises questions
I had a high school geography teacher who had a rule about grades: You could not discuss any qualms you had about your grade with him until after a 48-hour cooling-off period after getting back your paper.
It's a politically correct strategy and fits the situations of the thousands of students who waited in line for hours on Monday in the cold outside of Allen Fieldhouse. I heard horror stories from friends and even walked by there to catch a glimpse of it. There were the guys who brought the IDs of 30 of their fraternity brothers, holding up the lines. There were the people offering $20 for someone to stand in line for them so they could go to class. There were the people calling Lew Perkins' office leaving nasty voicemails.
After Monday's fiasco, I will sell back my tickets to the athletics department and take the $95 instead. This is not to protest the department, but I, like many students, have enough stress in my life already that waiting three hours just to pick up tickets would be very low on my personal agenda.
But that was about the only conclusion I came to. After talking with friends and co-workers for the past two days, here are some questions that need to be answered.
1) What the hell was Andy Knopp thinking?
It was our Student Body President last year who approved giving up the section behind the Kansas bench in exchange for money for unnecessary projects such as a pool at the Student Fitness Recreation Center. The student seats were already bad enough compared to schools such as Duke and Michigan State, whose students sit courtside. Knopp gave up our best section, and don't forget, he was from Manhattan. Coincidence?
2) Where was Lew Perkins?
He certainly was not where he should have been: walking the lines, answering to students and explaining the department's decisions. He is the highest-paid athletics director in the conference. Would it have hurt him so much to get some pizza or doughnuts for his most loyal and proud fans?
He already disenchanted season ticket holders with the points system. Now he's messing with the students, who are the biggest part of the atmosphere at KU basketball games. Pissing them off could come back to bite him down the road.
3) What was wrong with the old ticket system?

'Hawks dig those defensive specialists
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
In volleyball, position names are generally straightforward. The middle blocker, outside hitter and setter do exactly what their names suggest: They block, hit and set, respectively.
The same rule applies for a defensive specialist.
"We specialize in defense," sophomore Dani Wittman said blithely.
In essence, the roles of Wittman and sophomore starter Jamie Mathewson are the same as that of the libero, a fulltime player whose sole responsibility is

defense. But a defensive specialist enters the lineup only when front-line players, who are less agile and less equipped for digging, must move to the back row during a rotation.
"We only play three rotations," Wittman said. "Whereas the
libero is in the game all six rotations."
In the Kansas lineup, Mathewson and Wittman usually replace senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels.
Coach Ray Bechard said his staff
M. B. SMITH
MATHEWSON
evaluated the two specialists before each match and made a decision on how much to use them based on their strengths and how they were matched against the strengths of the opposing team.
"They're similar athletes," he said.
"But one of Jamie's strengths is her ability to read and dig. And Dani, one of her strengths is serve receptions."
Flexibility at this position has benefited the team this season.
--replaced Dorsev.
Dorsey said either player could fill her shoes.
Because of the graduation of senior Jill Dorsey, one of these players will likely move to the full-time libero position in 2005, but Wittman said it didn't matter who got the job.
"They'll both be good," she said.
"We played Dani to shake things up a little bit," Bechard said. "Each day we decide how we could use each of them."
Wittman played every game against Kansas State and led a defensive effort that forced the No.16 Wildcats into five sets.
"They'll both be good," she said. Bechard said the transition to libero would be easy for whoever
Bechard said some defensive adjustments may be in order for the team's next opponent, Oklahoma. The Sooners have played well recently and defeated the Colorado Buffaloes Saturday.
"We train all three of them the same way," he said of the libero and defensive specialists.
"They've been struggling in the conference." Bechard said of the Sooners. "This win will give them confidence, and I'm sure we'll see their best effort."

Sophomore Amanda Costner finished in a tie for 32nd with a total score of 236.
Junior Chelsey Pryor, who shot a three-round total of 235 to finish in a tie for 29th, led the Kansas team.
Junior Tiffany Woods helped the Jayhawks win the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational last week at Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence by placing in a tie for fifth place individually with freshman teammate Annie Giangrosso.
In Arkansas, Woods posted a three round total of 237 to finish in a tie for 35th.
Giangrosso finished in a tie for 44th in Arkansas with a three-round total of 238.
Sophomore Jill Womble posted a three-round total of 239 to place in a tie for 49th.
"We are consistent, but I'd like us to be consistent with lower scoring," O'Neil said.
"We will look to the spring and work hard to improve between now and then," said coach Erin O'Neil. "I have definitely seen some good things from our team."
lowa State won the tournament with a three-round team total of 905, while Texas A&M took second place with a 916 total.
Arkansas placed third with a team total of 920.

Red Sox victory forces game 7
-Kansan staff report
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Gritting his teeth and grimacing throughout, Curt Schilling willed away the pain in his right ankle and the Boston Red Sox got the benefit of two reversed calls to move within one win of the most shocking comeback in baseball post-season history.
For the second straight year, the New York Yankees and the Red Sox will go to a Game 7, a winner-take-all battle for the AL pennant between baseball's perennial striped power and a Boston team desperately trying to win the World Series for the first time since 1918.
Pitching on a dislocated ankle tendon that forced him out of the opener, Schilling smothered the Yankees by allowing one run over seven innings to lead the Red Sox over New York 4-2 Tuesday night and pull Boston into a 3-3 tie in an AL championship series that was three outs from a sweep just two days earlier.
New York was ahead 5-0 in the series before blowing a ninth-inning lead in Game 4 at Fenway Park and losing in the 12th Sunday night. The Yankees led Game 5 in the eighth Monday, then lost that one, too, another 5-hour marathon that stretched on for 14 innings.
Of the 25 previous major league teams that fell behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven series, none had forced a Game 7. But back in the Bronx, where they wasted a four-run lead in Game 7 last year, the Red Sox broke through with a four-run fourth against Jon Lieber.
The team trying to reverse The Curse benefited from two big reversed calls.
In the fourth, Mark Bellhorn hit a ball over the left-field wall that was at first ruled a ground-rule double before it was correctly changed to a three-run homer that made it 4-0. It was his first postseason homer.
Then in the eighth, after Miguel Cairo's double and Derek Jeter's RBI single off Bronson Arroyo pulled the Yankees to 4-2. Alex Rodriguez hit a ball between the mound and first. Arroyo picked it up and ran toward first, where just before the base the striding A-Rod slapped the ball away.
Jeter came all the way around to score as the ball bounced down the right-field line. After Boston manager Terry Francona came out to argue, the umpires huddled, discussed the play, then called Rodriguez out for interference and sent Jeter back to first.
Rodriguez raised both hands and put them on his helmet, screaming about the reversal and the game was held up for 10 minutes while fans tossed debris on the field and Yankees manager Joe Torre argued. Gary Sheffield then fouled out, ending the inning.
After Boston's Orlando Cabrera was
ruled safe at first base in the ninth, preventing the Yankees from completing a double play, public address announcer Bob Sheppard made his second announcement for fans to maintain order. The umpires talked with Kevin Hallinan, senior vice president of security in the commissioner's office, as Yankees reliever Tanyon Sturtze warmed up.
Helmeted police then came on the field and kneeled in foul territory along the stands on both the left- and right-field sides in the top of the ninth.
Schilling, who accepted a trade to the Red Sox last fall for the express purpose of beating the Yankees, took a three-hit shutout into the seventh before allowing Bernie Williams' solo homer on the 91st of his 99 pitches.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2004
Arroyo allowed the run in the eighth and Keith Foulke pitched the ninth.
After chasing the Yankees all summer and falling short in the AL East race for the seventh straight season, the wild-card Red Sox caught up to their old rival, an unexpected turn of events given how close Boston was to packing up for the winter just 48 hours earlier.
Tim Wakefield, who lost Game 7 last year on Aaron Boone's 11th-inning homer, starts for the Red Sox on Wednesday night, most likely against Kevin Brown or Iavier Vazquez.
While the Yankees are trying for their seventh AL pennant in nine seasons under Torre and record 40th overall, the Red Sox are attempting to reach the World Series for the first time since 1986.

Rams' latest winning streak overshadows sluggish start
ST. LOUIS - Move over Reggie Jackson. Mike Martz is the NFL's version of Mr. October.
The St. Louis Rams' 28-21 victory over Tampa Bay Monday night was their third straight since a 1-2 start. They're 3-0 in October this season, 3-0 last October and 18-4 in the month since 1999. Martz took over as offensive coordinator that Super Bowl-winning season and became head coach the following year.
This season's October rejuvenation has moved the Rams (4-2) into first place in the NFC West and facing a game Sunday at winless Miami (0-6). After a sluggish September that ended with a 28-25 overtime loss at home to New Orleans — a game in which the St. Louis defense surrendered a three-point lead in the final 23 seconds — the Rams suddenly look again like the team that has made the playoffs four of the past five seasons.
"We're getting some momentum going, and we're getting better every week," Martz said. "This is all you can ask for."
The Rams struggled early on both sides of the ball — their Martz-declared "fast and furious" offense sputtering along averaging fewer than 20 points per game through September. On defense, the Rams gave up 34 points in a loss at Atlanta on Sept. 19, then forced just one punt in the loss to the Saints, a punt that was called back because of a roughing-the-kicker penalty.

Hockey player's sentencing in murder-for-hire case delayed
s v h v s h
n o p l
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — The sentencing for former St. Louis Blues player Mike Danton in a federal murder-for-hire case has been deferred until next month, according to the office of the judge hearing the matter.
U. S. District Judge William D. Stiehl had a scheduling conflict and had to change the hearing date, which was to have been Friday, the judge's secretary
said yesterday. The hearing has been set for 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 8.
Danton, 23, agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to cause a person to travel in interstate commerce to commit murder.
Danton pleaded guilty July 16 to federal charges related to a murder-for-hire plot, a move that will almost certainly end his NHL career.
A related charge of making a telephone call in the murder-for-hire plot
was dropped as part of a deal with prosecutors.
Danton's plea agreement fell short of identifying his agent, David Frost, as the intended victim. But prosecutors have said in open court that Frost was the man Danton wanted killed. Frost has denied he was the target.
the FBI said they wouldn't oppose the move.
But Stiehl has noted that Danton may not be allowed to return to the United States. That, combined with the fact that Danton will be at least 30 and at least seven years removed from hockey by the time he gets out — there is no parole in the federal system means his once-promising career is likely over.
Danton could face seven to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing. He is seeking transfer to a Canadian prison, and prosecutors and
A federal jury on Sept. 20 acquitted
W1
co-defendant Katie Wolfmeyer, 19, of charges that she helped Danton in the plot.
Danton met Wolfmeyer, of the St. Louis suburb of Florissant, Mo., at an area mall where the Blues practice.
Danton's attorney, Robert Haar, said yesterday that "we were ready to go forward (with sentencing) on Friday."
"We would like to get it resolved as soon as possible," he said.

Mangino reflects on bond with Oklahoma coach
BY JONATHAN KEALING
jkealing@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWINTER
More than 20 years ago, Kansas coach Mark Mangino had his first encounter with the family of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.
At that time, Mangino was a young, inexperienced high school assistant coach. On the other side of the field was Ron Stoops Sr., a veteran of many high school campaigns and father of Bob Stoops.
It was just a scrimmage, but Ron left an impression on Mangino at that event. Ron was worried about his defense. He confided in Mangino, because it was just a scrimmage, that his defense was not going to be as good as it had been in years past.
"They weren't as fast as they'd been, he said. They had a lot of new players, and he was just really worried." Mangino said. "That night, I don't think we crossed the 30-yard line."
Growing up just 20 minutes apart, it seemed certain that
"We have similar backgrounds," Mangino said. "We're both from steel towns across the Ohio-Pennsylvania border."
Mangino and Bob Stoops would cross paths.
"We spent a lot of time together, and we would say. 'When I get my chance I'll do this. When I get my chance I'll do that,' Mangino said.
Mangino's first chance to work with Stoops was at Kansas State. As assistants, they developed a close friendship.
Mangino did. When Stoops took the head coaching job at Oklahoma, Mangino left with him.
Stoops got his chance before
There, Mangino and Stoops rebuilt a program that had been steadily declining. Stoops said that makes facing Mangino different.
"Mark was with us in building this program," he said.
The friendship the two coaches formed also extends to their families, including the children.
"When our kids came around the office or functions, Bob and
Carol always made a big fuss over them." Mangino said.
stoops invited Mangino's son Tommy to join him when Oklahoma took on K-State last weekend.
"Bob took an active interest in him," Mangino said. "Bob invited him to stand on the sidelines last weekend, took him into the locker room."
While Mangino and Stoops both acknowledge a special relationship, it'll be business as usual when kickoff comes, Mangino said.
Stoops agreed.
Stoops agreed.
"Once you get on the field, I never look at anything, no matter who we are playing, as anything personal," Stoops said.
Mangino and Stoops' bond is especially evident when Mangino is asked to recall their times together.
"Those were fun years," Mangino said. "A lot of the guys at K-State were close. That's where we developed our friendship."

Women's basketball fans to get perks for attendance
By Paul BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
While thousands of students spent hours in the cold this week waiting to pick up their men's basketball tickets, the Kansas women's basketball program is still struggling to find ways to boost game attendance.
Its newest marketing strategy relies on one central idea: College students love free stuff.
The Rock Chalk Rewards program provides an incentive to students who attend games by giving them gifts.
Students can obtain a Rock Chalk Rewards card at any home game and present it upon
entrance to Allen Fieldhouse. Students already get into home games for free with a valid KUID.
For attending three games, students will obtain free food coupons, and attendance at each additional set of three games will bring new rewards: T-shirts, KUStore.com gift certificates, hats and autographed team basketballs.
Students who attend all 18 home games will receive lunch with the coaching staff and team, plus a chance to win two tickets to the women's Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
Although attendance has been low in the past, Henrickson said student support was essential to the team's success.
recorded an average attendance of 1,539 at each of their 12 home games. They finished 9-19, with a 5-7 record in Allen Fieldhouse.
"If you choose not to come, then you become our opponent," Henrickson said. "You become K-State."
Attendance has been a problem for the program in recent years. The 2003-04 Jayhawks
The Jayhawks open the 2004 05 season with an exhibition game against Fort Hays State at 7 p.m. on Nov. 9. Kansas' regular season begins on Nov. 21 with a 1 p.m. tip-off against UT-Arlington.

Handshake ritual may make its way to NLCS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers drew a lot of praise for their show of sportsmanship, shaking hands on the field after their first-round playoff series ended.
So, will the Cardinals and Houston Astros do the same thing after the NL championship series?
BASEBALL
Astros star Craig Biggio has said he was in favor of it, and St. Louis manager Tony La Russa supported the idea.
Houston leads 3-2 in the best-of-seven series going into Wednesday's game.
While NHL players traditionally line up for handshakes after each playoff round, and NFL and NBA players mill around after games, it's a new idea in the majors_ and one that's taking some getting used to.
"I don't like that," said Bob Watson, baseball's vice president of on-field operations. "We play 162 games. We play a different game. A lot of times, you see guys do it underneath the stands, out of sight."
Watson played 19 seasons in the majors, most of them in Houston. Another former Astros star, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, agreed.
"I think it’s just not my nature to do it," he said.

Second baseman guides Astros
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Jeff Kent flung his bat to the side and pumped his right fist as soon as the ball took flight, certain he was going to make a long-awaited trot around the bases.
He'd pondered the moment in his mind, watching St. Louis' Albert Pujols and Boston's David Ortiz finish postseason victories by wading into a mob of teammates at home plate.
Kent fulfilled that wish Monday night, hitting a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Houston Astros a 3-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the NL championship series.
"Watching those guys do what they're doing, knowing the emotions that they probably are going through." Kent said, "I wanted to be those guys. I wanted to feel like that."
The Astros have a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, only a win away from their first World Series in 43 years of existence.
Overshadowed throughout the postseason by Houston's "Killer Bs" — Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, Bagwell and Craig Biggio — Kent finally seized the spotlight with his dramatic game-ending homer.
Kent perfectly imitated those Puiols and Ortiz highlights,
It was a rare display of cheerfulness from the 2000 NL MVP and four-time All-Star, who prides himself on his cool — some might call it aloof — demeanor on the field and in the clubhouse.
rounding the bases with a smile on his face before tossing his helmet in the air and jumping into the waiting arms of his teammates.
"That's the kid in me that loves to play this game," Kent said. "I want to be the other guy who's having a great time."
"I've struggled with my emotions at times to try to control them while I played his ballgame," Kent said. "I think I've been able to do that better now through the end of my career. I let my parents and my kids get overly excited. I try to keep an even keel."
He was the Astros' steadiest offensive threat this season, hitting .289 with 27 homers and 107 RBI and setting a franchise record with a 25-game hitting streak from May 14 to June 11.
He also became the NL career leader in home runs as a second baseman (278) and tied for another position record with his seventh 100-RBI season.
exercise his $9 million option for 2005.
But Kent openly mused about retirement near the end of the season, with his two-year, $18.2 million contract with the Astros coming to an end if they don't
The Astros have started grooming 2001 first-round pick Chris Burke to take over the position in the spring.
Kent will turn 37 next season and has talked often of wanting to spend more time at home with his family and more time tending to his ranch in central Texas.
He's already made plans to live there when his career is over and sold his home in the San Francisco Bay area last year.
"I've got four kids at home I have more fun with," he said a few weeks ago during a trip to San Francisco, where he played for six years before coming to Houston. "I have a trailer full of motorcycles, a ranch I've got to take care of, a motorcycle shop I want to get going, a lot of other things I want to do before I'm too old.
"I don't want to live in a locker room my whole life. There's other things I enjoy besides baseball."
"I needed guys around me to be better than me so I can be good," Kent said. "Now I'm on a team which I wanted to be on two years ago."
Kent, who helped the Giants reach the World Series in 2002, has hinted that winning it this year would be the perfect sendoff to his career.

Rivalry intensifies as teams struggle
thriller. Two years later, it was a 49-13 rout.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
And last year, Kansas State won 38-9 at Nebraska — the Wildcats' first victory there since 1968.
MANHATTAN — For two teams accustomed to dominating the Big 12 North, Saturday's matchup between Kansas State and Nebraska will have an entirely different set of stakes.
Both are fighting to salvage their seasons.
Nebraska still controls its destiny in the Big 12 North but is just two weeks removed from a 70-10 loss to Texas Tech, its worst loss in school history.
The Wildcats are off to only their second 2-4 start since Bill Snyder's arrival in 1989, and have lost three straight games to open the Big 12 season.
For the first time since 1968, neither team enters the game in the top 25. It will be the first nontelevised matchup since 1992.
"Those are all factual things, and they change the perception of the game," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said Tuesday. "But when you talk about the young people that will get between the lines Saturday, I don't think anything is different."
Kansas State and Nebraska have combined to win six of eight Big 12 North championships.
"It goes back a long ways," Wildcats center Mike Johnson said. "It's the same feeling as it always is when you play Nebraska. The rivalry is the same as it always is."
Nebraska and Kansas State rank first and second, respectively, in the Big 12 in victories, and have combined to win three conference titles. They are the only two schools to
But the rivalry is also relatively new, built on less than a decade's worth of games. Since Kansas State snapped the Huskers' 29-game winning streak in 1998, Snyder said, the matchup has taken on new meaning.
reach bowl games every season since the league's inception in 1996.
"To beat them my first year is probably one of my best memories," said tight end Brian Casey, who was a freshman in 2000. "We got the ball and drove down and got a touchdown, then they got the ball back and it started snowing again. It was a great atmosphere."
"Maybe after we won a ball game, finally, it all of a sudden became a little more of interest to youngsters at Nebraska," he said. "Maybe that heightened the possibility it could become a rivalry game."
Nebraska is now the team trying to snap a losing streak, having dropped the last two games in the series and the last two played in Manhattan.
In 2000 the Wildcats rallied to beat Nebraska in a snowy 29-28
And while both teams have uncharacteristically slipped out of the national picture this year, one recent trend hasn't changed for the Wildcats.
"We expect to beat them now," Casey said. "Before I got here, we didn't expect to beat them. Now we have the confidence to beat Nebraska."

BIDDING FOR BELTRAN
Houston fans are making no secret of how badly they want to keep Carlos Beltran on the Astros.
In addition to the "Beltran for President" signs sprinkled around Minute Maid Park the last three games of the NLCS, one fan brought an oversized check, the kind that goes to the winner of a lottery or a golf tournament.
It was made out to the free agent-to-be for $200 million, with the memo saying it covered his salary from 2005-2012. And it was check No. 015, keeping his jersey number in mind.
A caller to a radio station suggested having 500,000 fans each donate $100, giving Astros owner Drayton McLane another $50 million to add to his eventual offer. The talk-show host countered by suggesting they ask for $10 a year because it would be easier to get and still would provide McLane a $5 million buffer each season.
Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker hadn't seen or heard about any of those grass-roots efforts to retain Beltran, but he had another for the list: Before Game 4, some fans were passing around a hat labeled "Keep Beltran fund."
city in the United States is more enthusiastic, more energetic than our fans." Hunsicker said. "When they see a player like Carlos Beltran, they're obviously excited."
The Astros are hoping the fans' reaction and the team's success will help Beltran see beyond the dollar signs.
"This city is not recognized for its fan support, but no other
CARPENTER PROGRESS
Throughout the postseason, the Cardinals have played down any progress made by 15-game winner Chris Carpenter, sidelined since Sept. 18 with nerve damage to his right biceps.
But if they make it to the World Series, there's a chance he could be available to pitch.
Carpenter threw 26 pitches off the bullpen mound on yesterday. If the Cardinals avert elimination in Game 6 tonight, he's scheduled to throw again on tomorrow.
If healthy, Carpenter would have been the Cardinals' No. 1 starter in the playoffs. He had a remarkable comeback season after missing 20 months because of a pair of shoulder operations, working seven or more innings in 16 of his 28 starts.
The number of pitches in yesterday's session was unusual because Carpenter threw a ball on what was supposed to be his last toss. So he wanted to end the workout on a good note.

4) Why do freshmen even need tickets?
The student section should
be broken into three smaller sections. The best seats should go to seniors, then the middle level to juniors and the nosebleed seats to sophomores. KU students should pay their dues on campus for a year before being allowed to sit in the student section. Besides, what do freshmen contribute to campus anyway? I'd take away tickets for fifth-year seniors as
well. If you haven't gotten your fill of KU basketball in four years, then that's just too bad.
Either way, something's got to change. If it doesn't, the Jan. 24-25 redemption period for Texas and Missouri could be armageddon. Take cover.

Dick Vermeil comes under fire
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They may have been loyal, but this bunch was far from happy.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Kansas City Chiefs executive Lynn Stiles welcomed a group of about 50 fantasy league players to Arrowhead Stadium this week, he assumed they were loyal fans.
To most callers' questions, what seemed to be a general tone. Why did you make so many coaching mistakes? Why is the offense not getting the job done? Why didn't you blitz more during Sunday's loss to jacksonville?
"It costs me a ton of money to buy season tickets and drive to the games," a caller from South Dakota said in an angry tone of voice.
No sooner had a smiling Stiles concluded his remarks than a stout man in a blue shirt spoke up.
"You guys knew you had personnel problems in some areas and you still didn't sign any free agents," he said. "Why didn't you go out and try to sign somebody?"
It's a question that is growing tiring to people who coach, play and work for a team whose season could be on the brink of oblission.
"I don't answer it any more." Vermeil said Tuesday. "The people I communicate with on a daily basis have heard me respond to that."
Later that evening on Dick Vermilil's weekly radio show, it got even worse for the coach of the 1-4 Chiefs.
And, something fans have been carping about since training camp. "Why didn't you sign any free agents?"
With a wide receiver corps that is aging and average and a defense that ranked 29th overall, the Chiefs did have needs during the free agency period.
Moreover, a number of players who changed teams were certain to draw approving glances from
fans, including wide receiver Terrell Owens, defensive ends Grant Wistrom and Jevon Kearse, cornerbacks like Champ Bailey and defensive tackles like Warren Sapp.
But instead of opening Lamar Hunt's wallet and showering free agents with cash, the Chiefs opted to hold on to their own. They resigned defensive end Eric Hicks, safeties Jerome Woods and Greg Wesley, defensive tackle John Browning, and restricted free agent cornerback William Bartee.
"Why not sign Greg Wesley? Why not Jerome Woods? Don't we know they can play good football? That was our approach. And you only have so many dollars when you get that done. Sure, I'd like to go sign this guy, sign this guy. But you only have so many dollars just like everybody else."
"Why not sign Eric Hicks?"
Vermeil said Tuesday. "He leads us in quarterback hits and pressures and has two sacks. Why not sign Eric Hicks over somebody else who might be as good as Eric Hicks or might be better, who may not fit in, who might not have the character level, may not fit the profile of the kind of person we want in this room? May not be able to handle a 1-4 record?"
In keeping their own players, Vermeil said, the Chiefs knew what they were getting.
"The most important thing to do is invest in a quality product that gives you what you think is the best opportunity to win," he said.
Vermeil noted that many Pro Bowl performers have signed free agent contracts around the league and immediately gone on the decline.
"If you really study free agent signings and production and rate of return and a Pro Bowler going back to the Pro Bowl on a new contract with a new team and how many times they do it, it ain't a very good return."
Cardinals backed up against wall

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
St. Louis Cardinals Cardinals outfielder Roger Cedeno, left, finds a light moment with Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa during a light workout at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, yesterday. Tonight they will play Game 6 against the Houston Astros in the National League Championship Series. The Astros lead the series 3-2.
ST. LOUIS — For the first time in a long time, the St. Louis Cardinals are suddenly in an unfamiliar must-win predicament.
Charles Rex Arbogast/AP PHOTO
The Cardinals won 105 games, one off the 52-year-old franchise record. They were the first team to clinch a division, wrapping up the NL Central on Sept. 18. They dispatched the Dodgers in four games in the first round of the playoffs and won the first two games of the NLCS.
But that dominance is all in the past. They have to beat the Houston Astros twice, in Games 6 and 7 on Wednesday and Thursday, or they're done.
"We've got to win, that's it." right fielder Larry Walker said. "It's win or nothing."
They're not particularly surprised or dismayed by their predicament. The series thus far has gone according to form since the Cardinals beat two lesser-known pitchers to get off to a fast start at home and the Astros answered by sweeping three straight at their park, the first two games started by aces Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens.
Now, all the Cardinals have to do is put the home-field advantage to work and they'll be in the World Series for the first time in 17 seasons.
"It's not over," first baseman Albert Pujols said. "Until you get beat four times it's not over. We feel pretty comfortable here and we've played great in the post-season at home, and it's going to help us."
The Cardinals have been remarkably consistent all year, with no losing streak longer than three games until they dropped four straight while coasting to the regular-season finish from Sept. 27-30. Coincidentally the first three losses in that slump came when they were swept at Houston,
which was in a must-win situation most of the final month of the season.
Losing three straight in the playoffs to the Astros did not seem to diminish the team's confidence, built over the course of the season which began with low expectations.
This is how easy it looked for the team that was picked to finish behind the Astros and Chicago Cubs: The Cardinals led the division by seven games at the All-Star break. The cushion had grown into a 17-game bulge on Sept. 12, six days before they clinched their fourth playoff berth in five years.
"This team has a lot of heart and we've been doing it all year," Game 6 starter Matt Morris said. "Hopefully the foundation we've built helps us
games.
For Morris at least, the magnitude of the start is a familiar feeling. He's been inconsistent this year with a 4.72 ERA trailing the rotation, numbers that prompted manager Tony La Russa to bump him to Game 5 of the division series and Game 2 of the NLCS.
through the next couple of games."
Still, he won 15 games this year, has 65 victories the last four seasons and has made the last three opening day starts. He pitched well in an elimination game in 2002, a 2-0 Game 5 loss to San Francisco in the NLCs.
"I think the feeling with this team all year has been that we've been a team that should go to a World Series and compete for a ring." Morris said. "I think that's the difference that we have, just the feeling and the belief in ourselves."
They put no stock in the momentum the Astros apparently have built since leaving St. Louis.
"I don't buy into it because we won two in a row and it certainly didn't seem to follow us into Houston," third baseman Scott Rolen said. "Hopefully, it won't follow them back here to St. Louis."
Rolen has a simple formula for the rest of the series, which he referred to on Monday as a pair of Game 7s.
"It's just a situation where you go out and you prepare yourself and you let it all go." Rolen said. "You play with as much heart as you possibly have and you dig deep and see what you come up with.
"When that first pitch is thrown, we'd better be ready to go."
There's a better way to vent.

Auburn takes success and praise in stride
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn bungled an attempt to oust its coach, and three of its stars nearly left early for the NFL.
Almost a year later, the Tigers are unbeaten. And coach Tommy Tuberville and top players Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown and Carlos Rogers are the main reasons No. 3 Auburn (7-0) is in the running for the national championship.
GIBERT 38 49
Auburn's Stanley McClover picks up coach Tommy Tuberville after their 10-9 victory against LSUon Sept. 18. Auburn has been the Southeastern Conference's best team this season, finally living up to the hype that made them the nation's No. 6 ranked team prior to the 2003 season.
"Everybody wants to say coach has got to be laughing," Tuberville said. "I've been in this business 29 years. What happened last year, I've forgotten about. I'm glad it's worked out the way it did."
Couldn't have worked out much better so far.

Auburn has been the Southeastern Conference's best team this season, finally living up to the hype and acclaim that overwhelmed the Tigers in 2003.
Last year's free-fair from a preseason No. 6 ranking has been replaced by a steady, unrelenting climb up the rankings.
That woefully inconsistent offense? It's leading the league.
And with the Tigers fourth in this week's first Bowl Championship Series standings, Tuberville is more likely to get a lifetime contract than to lose his job.
Then-interim President William Walker was forced to retain Tuberville after an expedition he led to interview Louisville's Bobby Petrino two days before last year's Alabama game became public, angering Auburn fans and alumni.
The defense that lost three starting linemen and two AllSEC linebackers? It has allowed the second fewest points in the nation, just nine per game, and is the only Division I-A team that hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown.
The university's administration had egg on its face. The football team still had its coach. And the Tigers have won nine straight since Walker & Co. boarded the plane to Kentucky.
"We know about everything that went down with our coach last year, and we know how people downed us last year because they were expecting more," receiver Courtney Taylor said. "We just don't want to be in that position anymore."
"I feel like we were at the bottom of the barrel, and now we're just trying to climb our way out."
The Tigers have risen to the occasion this season, including a 34-10 rout at Tennessee.
Thriving in a West Coast system implemented by new offensive coordinator Al Borges, Campbell is the nation's fourth-rated passer with 13 touchdown passes, only two interceptions and a 67.6 percent completion rate.
They've only been challenged once, but answered with a gutsy game-winning drive against LSU. Leading that drive was Jason Campbell, a formerly maligned quarterback whose turnaround has been about as dramatic as Auburn's.
"Its just great to finally hear your name mentioned," Campbell said. "Through all of the things I've been through here, there's finally an opportunity to have success."
Tailbacks Brown and Williams have been solid, too. They rank fifth and sixth in the SEC in rushing yards per game, combining for 1.153 vards.
When that pair and Rogers, a cornerback, opted to return for their senior seasons, it had a big impact on the Tigers — on and off the field.
"The thing that we lacked was confidence," Tuberville said. "With these guys coming back and believing in what we're doing, I think it helped everybody."
Tuberville has taken pains to make sure his team doesn't get overconfident. He seldom mentions the opposing team by name to his players during game week, emphasizing Auburn's own execution.
The philosophy behind that: "Our gameplan's going to be dictated to ourselves. We're not going to let them dictate to us."
Every player and coach sits in on the weekly special teams meet
ings, whether they play on special teams or not. And many of the top players do, including Williams, Brown and Rogers.
"By doing that, we're trying to create more of a team concept," Turberville said.
And he's not worrying about his job security anymore. Tuberville
Interim President Ed Richardson has said his coach will be "rewarded for doing an outstanding job" at season's end.
"I think the only way this job can be done is both sides have to forgive and forget. As long as we're doing what's best for Auburn, I'm fine with it."
"I'm not laughing behind the
scenes or gloating or saying I told you so, any of those things." Tuberville said. "I'm glad to be here.
No moral victories in conference matches for Missouri
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coach Gary Pinkel is not one for moral victories, so he found little comfort in Missouri's narrow 28-20 loss to No. 8 Texas.
But the offense faltered, turning the ball over after six plays.
The Tigers (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) had a chance at the end with the ball at their 34 with 3:10 to go, needing a touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game.
Pinkel was satisfied with his team's effort, but not the result.
"I thought we did OK against one of the best teams in the country," he said. "I'm certainly real disappointed. When you have a game like that, you want to win."
Moving on from such a loss often takes time, though
Missouri has little to spare. No.
21 Oklahoma State (5-1, 2-1)
visits Saturday, but the Texas
loss will linger.
Those mistakes included two Brad Smith interceptions that led to 14 Texas points. Although the Tigers outperformed the Longhorns in most statistical categories, they could not find a way to win.
"I don't think anybody can
say that they're more physical than us in the Big 12," tailback Damien Nash said. "To go out there and compete like we did and not come out on top was disappointing because we knew we could win the physical battle."
Missouri has lost its past 11 road games against ranked opponents, the last victory coming in 1998, a 28-26 victory at
No.18 Texas Tech.
The loss to Texas was particularly difficult for Omboga, one of 23 Texans on the Missouri roster.
"It's not going to be a priority in my life, but it's going to be in the back of my head that we blew an opportunity to defeat them," said Omboga, a Grand Prairie, Texas, native.
The loss will remind the Tigers of what it takes to beat top-
notch opponents.
With Oklahoma State looming, the Tigers face another difficult task, this time at home. Although the Texas loss could have provided it, Nash said he won't need any extra motivation against the Cowboys.
"I'm always fired up when you get to play a top team," Nash said. "As long as you're at the top, I want to knock you off."

CLAS tuition could increase
Open discussions to help measure student reaction
Students taking class in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be paying more money per credit hour next school year.
By Ross Fitch
rftick@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kim Wilcox, dean of liberal arts and sciences, is in charge of a proposal for a $30 tuition increase per credit hour in the college, to be phased in more than a three-year period.
Any student taking a class in the college would pay $10 per credit hour in differential tuition during the 2005-
2006 school year.
Students would then pay $20 per credit hour in differential tuition the next school year, and $30 per credit hour for the 2007-2008 school year.
After that, the $30 per credit hour increase would be permanent for the next 20 years, when it would up for review again.
If students don't like the idea, Wilcox said he would reconsider the proposal.
For that reason, there are a series of meetings to introduce the proposal and gauge student opinion. The first of four meetings begins at 5 p.m. at 3139 Wescoe.
Wilcox estimated the plan would bring a needed $12 million to $13 million per year, he said. The department needs the money for building renovations. Wilcox said.

The meetings will provide students a chance to interact with administrators regarding the $30 additional fee proposal.

to the functioning of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences," said Arthur Jones, Dallas junior and
Student Senate Executive Committee chairman.
If approved, the tuition increase would render a renovated Wescoe Hall. a new natural sciences building, enclosed catwalks, more faculty offices and various building renovations across campus.
The first 20 percent of all the money would go toward need-based financial aid. Wilcox said.
"We don't want to price anyone out of a University education," he said.
Reaction from students is mixed.
"It's a nice idea, but that's a lot of money for students to have to invest to not even see the benefits," said Jessica Mortinger, Hays sophomore and CLAS freshman-sophomore student senator.
At the start of the third year of the proposal, a student taking 15 hours, all CLAS classes, would be paying an additional $900 per semester.
As a student, Steve Munch, student body president, said he favored the proposal.
But as a student leader, student body opinion would matter most, he said.
"As student body president, I'd be in favor of it as long as student support is there," Munch said. "If this is something that faces widespread dissent from the student body, I would not be in favor of it."
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Social Welfare are the only schools and colleges at the University of Kansas that do not require additional tuition per credit hour.

The proposal process is in the third of four stages, Wilcox said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In Nebraska, "C" stands for Cornhusker. In Kansas, it stands for crops and cattle, or at least according to the series Discover America State by State.
Sandy Appleoff, a master of fine arts student in stage and costume design at the University of Kansas, illustrated C is for Cornhusker: A Nebraska Alphabet, which is one of the books in the series. The 47-year-old artist painted an illustration for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet and one illustration for the final page.
The series, published by Sleeping Bear Press, includes C is for Crowhusker. A Nebraska Alphabet and S is for Sunflower. A Kansas Alphabet. Each book contains poems, informational text and pictures to help children learn about the history and geography of their states.
Appleoff Acres, the farm where Appleoff grew up in Falls City, Neb., inspired the white house on the cover of the book.

After taking a second look, she said she thought the man on the cover resembled her father. "I guess Dad's spirit was working through it." Appleoff said.
Appleoff said she had great teachers as far back as junior high and high school, and credited them for her success.
"She used to give me a hard time for not staying in the lines when I colored," Appleoff said.
She said she had always loved to draw and learned from her older sister.

MEN'S BASKETBALL No lottery for first five games
A lottery for men's basketball tickets will not be necessary for the first five games of the season.
The first pick-up period for tickets ended at 5 p.m. yesterday. Every student who showed up at the ticket window received tickets for the Jayhawks two exhibition games and the first three games of the season.
Although he didn't know exactly how many tickets were released, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said. Marchiony said he never thought the Athletics Department would have to use a lottery for this ticket group.
"We did not get close," Marchiony said.
The next ticket pick-up dates will be Nov. 17-20. Tickets will be available for: Pacific, Texas Christian, Louisiana, South Carolina and Georgia Tech.
Marchiony said he wants the second pick-up period to be more spread out. On Tuesday, two "express" ticket windows were added for students redeeming a single set of tickets. Marchiony said that would remain consistent through the next pick-up period.
"We are going to make it so that students with only one ID can move through the line more quickly," he said.

Douglas County AIDS Project offers new HIV test
BY NIKOLA ROWE
nrowe@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITER
Seven Kansas clinics began using the OraQuick HIV test at the beginning of July, but DCAP was unable to begin using the test until this month because of new equipment and training required for the test.
A new, free HIV test will be offered for the first time by the Douglas County AIDS Project in the Kansas Union next week.
It is important for students to remember that AIDS is still a problem and that getting tested is important, Ikerd said. October is National AIDS Awareness Month, but it is often lost with other causes, such as breast cancer awareness.
The test allows recipients to get results within an hour of taking the test.
The new test is replacing a blood-drawn test, which took up to two weeks to get results, and an oral test. As testing for HIV improves, treating HIV needs research.
"We are really looking forward to using this new technology," Shannon Ikerd, testing coordinator for DCAP, said.
"It's easy with a student's busy
lifestyle to tune out AIDS." Ikerd said.
Ikerd reminds students that the age group of people most at risk for HIV are between the ages of 13 and 29.
Cheryl Calhoun, Salina senior worked for DCAP and was most affected by the treatment that HIV-infected people have to go through. "When I saw the long list of medications I was shocked," Calhoun said. The effectiveness of the drugs was also concerning to Calhoun.
"By missing one pill, you can no longer take that prescription," Calhoun said.
This is because the HIV mutates, ikerd said. There are roughly 25 different medications that are used specifically used to treat HIV. If a dose is missed, the virus mutates and the medication will become less effective.
This can narrow the medications that an HIV-infected person can use to 15, and not all medications work for every person, Ikerd said.
"Even if you take your medication perfectly it will eventually stop working because the virus becomes immune," Ikerd said.
This is also a problem if a person has HIV and is being treated with these medications and infects some one else.

SLAB showing documentary about lives of candidates
The Student Legislative Awareness Board is presenting a PBS documentary about the presidential candidates titled Frontline: The Choice 2004.
The film examines the lives of presidential candidate John Kerry and President George W. Bush.
"It's an opportunity for voters to get an in-depth look at the candidates," Katie Wolff, legislative director of SLAB, said.
The documentary shows who the candidates are as people without political rhetoric or the campaign clouding the picture, Wolff said.
The film will be shown at 7 p.m. tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the

Army staff sergeant pleads guilty to Abu Ghraib charges
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A U.S. Army staff sergeant pleaded guilty yesterday to abusing Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghaib prison, telling a military court that prisoners were forced to submit to public nudity and degrading treatment "for military intelligence purposes."
Army reservist Ivan "Chip" Frederick, 38, of Buckingham, Va., confessed to eight counts of conspiracy, dereliction of duty, maltreatment of detainees, assault and committing
an indecent act.
He was expected to be sentenced today and could receive 11 years in prison.
Frederick is the highest-ranking soldier charged in the scandal.
The scandal broke in April with the publication of photos and videos showing American troops abusing and humiliating naked Iraqi detainees.
His lawyer, Gary Myers, said Frederick agreed to cooperate fully in further investigations and would testify at courts-martial for other soldiers.
Frederick also blamed his chain of command, saying he was given no training or support in supervising detainees.
He said he only learned of regulations against mistreatment after the abuses occurred between October and December last year.
France punishing students for wearing head scarves
WORLD
The Associated Press
PARIS — France has quietly begun expelling Muslim girls for wearing head scarves to public schools in defiance of a new law banning conspicuous religious symbols, treading carefully for fear of endangering two French hostages in Iraq.
The expulsions of at least five girls since Tuesday were the first since the law went into effect at the start of the academic year on Sept. 2.
They were kept low-key because the French journalists' captors had demanded the measure be abolished.
The Associated Press
Another five girls could be expelled this week as the Education Ministry gave school districts the signal to start taking action against 72 students who could not be persuaded to obey the law.

Committee reviews gambling
TOPEKA — Market protections for a proposed casino in Wyandotte County emerged yesterday as a key issue for a legislative committee reviewing a gambling compact between two Indian tribes and Gov. Kathleen Sebellus.
Sebelius' office and the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox tribes outlined the compact for the Joint Committee on Tribal-State Relations. The agreement guarantees the state revenues from a $210 million casino-and-hotel complex proposed by the tribes.
While Sebelius' office estimates the state could receive $50 million or more annually in revenues, the amount is tied to how aggressively Kansas limits gambling elsewhere. If the state permits too much other gambling, its share of revenues from the Kickapoo-Sac and Fox casino could drop to a few million dollars.
The state would face penalties if it permitted more than 500 non-tribal slot machines or video lottery terminals within 100 miles of the new casino and more than 1,500 such machines outside 100 miles. The state also would be penalized if it did not oppose other proposed Indian casinos within 100 miles.
Rep. Bill Mason, R-El Dorado, the committee's chairman, said he and others want even tougher market protections — to limit gambling elsewhere more. But Rep.
Committee members said they would discuss those market protections today before deciding whether to recommend compact changes.
Tom Sawyer, D-Wichita, questions why any restrictions are necessary.

Student Senate committees begin Border War name-change battle
Freshman senator Dennis Chanay has heard only negative comments from students about the Border War's name change to Border Showdown.
Chanay, Paola freshman, brought forth a resolution — called the Resolution to Protect Tradition — to two Student Senate committees last night. The resolution would ask the University of Kansas and University of Missouri athletic directors to change the title of the Kansas-Missouri athletics rivalry back to Border War. The University Affairs committee tabled the item because it lacked supporting evidence about the importance of the name Border War.
Lew Perkins, Kansas athletic director, and Mike Alden, Missouri athletic director, changed the name out of respect and sensitivity for the war overseas. The Athletics Department announced the change on Oct. 7.
Chanay said university administrators should not change the title without student consent. The word "war" and other words implying a fight were often used in marketing, he said. Chanay cited the Ad War, the Battle of the Bulge and Battle of the Bands in the resolution.
"The fact that they would change it when there hadn't been any complaints made me angry." Chanay said.
He said the term Border War had deep roots. Because it was used to describe the athletics series during the Vietnam War, Cold War and more recent wars, he said the athletic directors were being overly politically correct.
The term originated before the Civil War when small battles between Missouri, a slave state, and Kansas, a free state, broke out on the states' border. In a raid led by William Quantrill of Missouri in 1863, Lawrence was ransacked and burned to the ground.
The name is relevant because the competition between
Missouri and Kansas is like a war, Brittany Zschoche said.
Abraham Sipe, midshipman first class and public affairs officer of the Naval ROTC, said standing by the athletic director's decision was like following the military chain of command.
"It's all the more reason to keep it," the Lenexa senior said. "Lawrence takes pride in being the free state."
The Senate committees will revisit the resolution in the next Senate committee meeting in two weeks. The football game against Missouri is on Nov. 20 in Columbia, Mo.
Senate committee members supported the resolution, but said it needed to be well researched before it could be sent to the athletic directors.
"I don't think it's insensitive, but I stand by the athletic director as a leader of the University," the Topeka senior said.
Chanay said he would be ready with facts and statistics to back up the resolution.
In other Senate legislation:
The committees tabled a bill
to give $200 for general funding to Students for an Egalitarian Society because the group was not registered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
The committees failed a bill to fund a speaker for the Society of Open Minded Atheists and Agnostics because the speaker would be partisan and endorse atheism.
Senate passed bills to give $200 of general funding to the Student Disability Advocates, who educate elementary schools students about disabilities, and the KU Victory Campus Ministries, a Christian fellowship organization.
- The committees passed a bill to give $700 to the Muslim Student Association's 2004 Ramadan Fast-a-Thon.
The committees passed a bill to allocate $300 to the KU Argentine Tango Club to increase partner dance at the University and in the community.

School of Ed names interim dean

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
David Shulenburger named Fred Rodriguez interim dean of the School of Education yesterday. Rodriguez, associate dean and associate professor, replaced Angela Lumpkin, who announced her resignation Monday because of personal reasons.
"I am very pleased that Fred has agreed to provide this most important service to the school and the University," said Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor.
Rodriguez has served as associate dean of the school twice, for the 1991-1992 school year and since 2001. He served as the first director of

Rodriguez is known for his work in multicultural education

Shulenburger said Rodriguez's experience with the school will make the transition to the interim position smooth.
"He has worked closely with Dean Lumpkin and has a very good understanding of the challenges facing the school and the profession." Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said a date had not been set to begin the search for a permanent dean. Rodriguez said Shulenburger's next step would be to meet with the faculty to talk about what's in the best

Rodriguez said the school intends to move forward, regardless of who the dean is.

PHILADELPHIA — The same huge federal study that led millions of women to abandon use of hormones after menopause now provides reassurance that another hormone concoction — the birth control pill — is safe.
Doctors say the type of hormones and the stage of life when they're used may be what makes them helpful at one point and harmful at another.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In fact, women on The Pill had surprisingly lower risks of heart disease and stroke and no increased risk of breast cancer contrary to what many previous studies have found.
"We're still learning more and more about the biology," said one of the researchers, Dr Michael Diamond of Wayne State University in Detroit.
The new findings are from nearly 162,000 participants in the Women's Health Initiative, the largest women's health study ever done and one of the biggest on oral contraceptives.
About 16 million American women currently take birth control pills and hundreds of millions have used them since the first one came on the market in 1960. Most combine synthetic forms of estrogen and progestin in various doses.
Women taking these hormones after menopause were more likely to have heart disease and certain cancers.
Previous research on oral contraceptives suggested that they, too, raised the chances of heart disease. The new study found the opposite — lower risk of heart attacks, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and other heart-related problems among the 67,000 women in the study who had ever taken The Pill.

Now is the time to see things through another point of view. Countless opinions must find some point of reconciliation if peace is a possibility. This world is too complicated to paint black and white. If Israel and Palestine are to move bilaterally toward peace, then everyone — Palestinianians, Israelis, Jews, Muslims, and Christians — must cease childish finger-pointing. We must stop over-simplifying with words like "right" and "wrong" and work for peace.
Bridey Maidhof Overland Park freshman
This conflict is not as simple as counting the dead, or putting up a wall, or proclaiming who is the oppressed and who is the oppressor. The fact is Palestinians and Israelis alike are suffering. To place blame on one side or the other is not just closed minded, but counter-productive. If peace is indeed our goal then the first step is to clear the way for open dialogue.
Zach Stinson/KANSAN
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Israeli-Palestinian rhetoric mustmove for compromise
Dear editor.
Arrah Nielsen: thank you. A public response defending Israel and admonishing the use of violence against any people has been desperately needed. If nothing else, your column on Palestinian violence has given us an alternate point of view to help shape our own opinions on the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
I oppose the use of violence and believe that no matter how desperate the situation, there is always an alternative. There is no excuse for the destruction of innocent lives as a political or ideological tool. I am a student who believes politically in Israel's right to exist, but I must question the ease with which you place blame.
Dear editor.
Columnist blind to oppression in Israeli-Palestinian conflict
As Arrah Nielsen herself says, "everyone is entitled to their own side, but that doesn't mean that all sides are morally equivalent or equally factbased."
In terms of the facts, she starts off with the typical inability to see them all. Her sources are The New Yorker (no pro-Israeli demographic there) and The New Anti-Semitism, a publication that doesn't even know that Arabs are Semites too!
What kind of peace deal is it when a robber invades your house, chains you in the basement and then tells you to be satisfied with getting part of the downstairs while he eats Big Macs and watches MTV in your bedroom, waiting around for more checks from America?
Then you say Israel is a "shining example to be emulated", because "it has a vibrant economy with a gross domestic product approaching western European nations." What does wealth have to do with morality?
The best part is, you talk about Israel as the only country in the Middle East "where citizens of all nationalities and religions enjoy equal rights," but Palestinians don't, be they Christian or Muslim. Jerusalem used to be a majority-Christian city. Now they are all gone. Palestinians don't even hold passports, let alone vote.
It's easy to criticize people who've had everything taken away from them, but I wonder how you far out your tongue would come in support of occupation if a foreign country had decided to create a race-based state in Andover, and you and your family had been living trapped in squall at the edge of town since 1948.

All of the plans offered have been rejected by the many sides at different times, by Arabs, Jews, Zionists and Palestinians (Christian, Muslims and Jews), because they all have been untenable. All of the offers made have been a distraction from the real issue: human rights.
The Oslo accords failed not because former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's "generous offer" was offering a ghetto, but, as Amnesty International has said, it was doomed to fail because it ignored the critical issue of human rights.
Colonization is colonization, which here is also racism and fast becoming genocide, despite how sanitized the crimes we help commit are made for the public.
While the United States is suffering
from the worst economy in years, we continue to give $6 billion a year including military aid to a country that not only violates international laws such as the Geneva Conventions daily, but also consistently violates U.S. laws. The U.S. Arms Export Control Act makes it illegal to provide military assistance to any nation that violates internationally recognized human rights.
In the current incursion into Gaza, more than a quarter of the more than 500 killed and injured are children. Aside from the destruction of homes, hospitals and schools, Palestinians are murdered because they are denied basic needs such as water, food and medical attention.
Israel has consistently destroyed the agrarian environment of the Holy Land in favor of an industrial wasteland, has carried out extra-judicial targeted assassinations and terrorist acts both inside and out of the illegally controlled Occupied Territories.
Most importantly, Israel's courts have not held up to international standards and have upheld racist laws that grant citizenship to anyone in the world solely on the basis of religion while denying it to the nine million native
Palestinians, effectively keeping the Palestinians that live in Israel (17 percent) as third class citizens without basic rights to preserve the "Jewish Democracy." The U.S. was established as a free and democratic alternative to theocratic and racist rule, so why should we support it elsewhere in the free world?
And because the accusation of anti-Semitism is going to come up, as it has been often used to kill any talk and dialogue, let's really look at it. How does enforcing a new racism protect anybody, least of all the Jewish populations that have suffered so much in the past, form the new horror which is being inflicted?
The most recent survey by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion states that even though 86 percent of Palestinians feel they lack personal security and safety, 83 percent want a mutual cessation of violence and 59 percent supports taking measures to prevent attacks on Israel in a cease-fire agreement.
The Palestinians are ready. And nonviolent peaceful adherence to human rights and justice is the only path for all.
Check out some morally-equivalent and multi-faceted events coming up, including the Students for Just Peace n the Middle East's video, "Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land" on Nov. 16th in Alderson Auditorium or Rabbi Ascherman's talk "A Call to Compassion" in Kansas City on Nov. 17th , at Congregation Beth Torah in Kansas City, Kan. The lives of the innocent depend on it.

It doesn't work that way in politics, I thought.
With the debacle that was the 2000 presidential election still fresh in my mind, I felt confident that the errors that occurred in Florida would be anticipated and corrected in preparation for the 2004 election. Considering how much confusion resulted, one would think all sides of the political fence would want a decisive and conclusive victory.
The American citizen is a powerful instrument.
The need to reunify this country under one leader would be a primary motivator for both sides to have a clear winner so that no one would have the chance to undermine his success. Yet, this does not seem to be the case.
bers in Georgia attached literature supporting their party and respective candidates in the same envelope as the official absentee ballots, contrary to a state law that was passed after the 2000 election because of similar actions taken by that party.

Much like a trumpet that fascinates the mind, or the cello that resonates through the soul, we speak in individual tones and notes. The American citizen is a powerful instrument. But without a leader — a conductor that can effectively lead this discordic band that is our nation — all we are is noise.
American citizens are the greatest collection of musical instruments in the world. We are a bit out of tune with each other, but all we need is to realize we are all on the same sheet of music. It is therefore imperative that we elect a maestro who can reunite us and not let those who act in support of him subvert the very foundations of our democratic processes.
Our defining movement of American music is about to be played. All the instruments are ready. The global audience is listening. Who will we choose to lead us in the truest American symphony yet?

The possibility of a military draft has been on the minds of leaders at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries. They have helped sponsor two discussions on the military draft, one last Sunday and one this Sunday at 7:30 p.m.at the ECM building, 1204 Orend Ave.

The first discussion, which centered around the pros and cons of a draft, was a success, he said.
"There was a lot of great dialogue," he said. "It was all over the place, which really made it great."
Rev. Thad Holcombe, campus minister for the ECM, said it was good for people to talk about the possibility of a draft.
This Sunday's event will focus on conscientious objection.
Holcombe said the current

military was situated such that it could maintain a volunteer army and was not eager to reinstate a draft.
But that doesn't necessarily mean there won't be a draft in some form, he said.
He said there had been talk of a selective draft of people with special skills to serve in the military, such as computer specialists.
He said there were two factors that would have the possibility of bringing back the draft: A drop-off in enlistment strength and the possibility of another war behind the Iraq conflict.
If either of those factors happen, Schrodt said, the possibility of having a draft would go up, because the military would be stretched thin.
He didn't know whether

either would happen.
"We'll know a lot more in six months," he said.
"I do not, I don't think that all individuals would have the skills necessary to be successful in the military. For our military to be successful, everyone needs to want to be there."

"At this point, one qualifies if one can demonstrate a principled objection that one is morally unwilling to participate in warfare," he said.
"I would support it if that's what they deemed necessary.I'm not excited about it by any stretch of the imagination. I believe in the office of the president and I put faith in our government."

Sleeping Bear Press contacted Appleoff's representative, Helen Ravenhill, to get her to do the illustrations.
Ravenhill posts artists' illustrations, such as Appleoff's, on her Web site, www.ravenhill.net.
ARTIST: 'T' for tornadoes and twisters is illustrator's favorite
While illustrating the book, Appleoff was also filling in for illustration professors at the University during their sabbaticals.
"I wouldn't recommend doing both, everything was spent painting," Appleoff said referring to all of her free time.
Appleoff said her favorite illustration was "T" for tornadoes and twisters because a bunny grasped onto a sapling and tried not to get blown away.
She said the text was given to her, and though she had grown up in Nebraska, she wanted to spend as much time as she could doing research.
"Research is a big thing for me," Appleoff said.
Justin Newhouse, University graduate, helped with the research.
Newhouse graduated with degrees in painting in 1999 and illustration and graphic design in 2001.
He met Appleoff when she filled in during a professor's sabbatical.
"To be quite honest, she was probably the best influence I had." Newhouse said. "She's a real joy."
Appleoff said after she finished her research and did her penciling, each illustration took between a day and a week, depending on the complexity.
"Water color is the hardest medium; it doesn't let you make mistakes," Appleoff said. "But I love a challenge."

"They kids really respond," Appleoff said. "They really like art."
She has illustrated several other books, including Modern Rhymes About Ancient Times, which teaches children about Egyptian history.
Appleoff spent six weeks in
the Argentinian rain forest, researching 106 birds for another book, The Birds of Iguazu.
An independent publisher didn't follow through, so the book was never published, she said.
Appleoff did get to keep her prints, and her trip to the rain forest was free.
For each book she illustrates, Appleoff gets an advance royalty and then a percentage of each book sold, she said.
She wants to make a difference in students' lives because illustration is a hard field to survive in. she said.
"The greatest part about teaching is that you get as much back from it as you put into it," Appleoff said. "If you love it, it really is a win-win scenario."

Play for me a simple melody
Jazz
John Marshall Mental/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wynton Marsalis plays trumpet during Jazz at Lincoln Center's inaugural gala in New York yesterday. He and musicians from around the world kicked off the opening of the new home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. "I just had to be here for this," said Igor Butman, a jazz saxophonist and bandleader from Moscow. "This is the first real jazz center in the world."
Study: Human gene count lower
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — In a blow to human vanity, researchers now say that people have about the same number of genes as a small flowering plant or a tiny worm. The new estimate is down sharply from just three years ago.
"We (humans) don't look very impressive in the competition," said Dr. Francis Collins, coauthor of the new analysis by the international group that decoded the human genome.
The new estimate is 20,000 to 25,000 genes, a drop from the 30,000 to 40,000 the same group of scientists published in 2001.
By comparison, C. elegans, a worm that is a favorite research subject, has around 19,500 genes. Another lab favorite, a plant in the mustard family called Arabidopsis, has about 27,000.
But the complexity of the human body arises from more than just its genetic parts list, experts said.
"It's not just the number of genes that matters," said another co-author, Eric Lander of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass. "It really is how nature uses these genes."
Scientists have long speculated about how many genes people have. Some have put it at
100,000 or more, and the genome project's initial figure fell in the low end of estimates when it was announced.
In a betting pool among scientists that ran from 2000 to 2003, the average guess before the consortium published its 2001 estimate was about 66,000 genes. Afterward, the average dropped to about 44,000.
Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, put his money on about 48,000 genes when the contest began. That's about twice the new estimate.
The new estimate deals only with genes that tell cells how to make proteins. It is reported in
today's issue of the journal Nature by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, which had determined the sequence of nearly all of the 3 billion-plus chemical building blocks that make up the human DNA code. Certain sequences of these building blocks make up genes, just like certain sequences of letters create words.
When the consortium produced its 2001 gene count estimate, it still had many gaps in the DNA sequence it had determined. Now the scientists have closed those gaps as much as they can with current technology.
HIV: Research helping fight virus; vaccine still years awav
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The virus that is passed to the new person has already come in contact with medication, meaning the virus will already be immune to it.
"HIV has not gone away," Ikerd said. "It's treatable, but some treatments don't even work. It's a lot less hopeful than we like to think it is."
Ikerd knows that research is happening, but still views HIV and AIDS as a big problem.
"Realistically we will not have a vaccine in our lifetime," Ikerd said.
At the University of Kansas Medical Center, Bill Narayan,
principal investigator and researcher, has been working on an HIV vaccine that proved effective in monkeys last year. Narayan wants to find a vaccine that can be administered to stop reproduction of HIV in humans, according to a press release from the Med Center. The vaccine has not been approved to be tested on patients. Narayan was unavailable for comment.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment estimated that there are between 900 and 1,400 people living in Kansas who do not know they are infected with HIV.

In the first stage, Wilcox asked department chairs if the college would consider per credit hour tuition.
The third stage involves educating the University community about the proposal.
The second stage was discussion among student tuition advisers, student senators and the dean's executive student council of what should be done with the money coming from the added tuition, and decided on construction and renovation.
implemented, the proposal must be approved by Provest David Shulenburger and Chancellor Robert Hemenway. If both approve, then the proposal will be sent to the Kansas Board of Regents for review and approval or denial in June 2005.
Though still undecided on where he stands on the proposal, Jones said he recognized that the University, its buildings and the overall KU feeling will benefit from it.
"I see that, 10 years from now, the University will look, feel and function better than it does now, and I am willing to pay $900 a semester for that," Jones said.

GOING DEEP
BY SHANE KUCERA skucera@kansan.com
Freshman stands out behind the racket
Stephanie Smith, Salina freshman, will play a significant role in the future of Kansas tennis. In her collegiate tennis debut in late September, Smith rolled over her competition by sweeping her singles matches. She emerged from that first tournament in Tulsa, Okla., as one of the team's most promising players.
Smith continued to show potential in last weekend's Eck Classic Invitational at South Bend, Ind. She was the only Kansas player to register a victory in a singles match.
Editor's note: Athletes at the University of Kansas are more than just victories and statistics they're real people with opinions on sports, life and love. Each Thursday, Kansan sportswriter Shane Kucera sits with a student athlete and discusses issues beyond the playing field.
The freshman's collegiate success is consistent with her high school career. She was a three-time State singles runner-up and a National Open Doubles Champion.
Q: Is it possible to be a team leader as a freshman?
This week, Stephanie Smith talks about tennis and much more:
A: Yes, I think it's possible. Every time I go out I just try to do my best.
Q: Why have you been successful so far this season?
A: I've just tried to give it 100 percent in practice and matches.
Q: How does Lawrence compare to Salina?
Q: Are you living in the dorms?
A2. It's a lot more diverse, and a lot more hilly.
A: Yeah, I live in Corbin. I like it. It's different living with a whole bunch of girls.
Q: How is it balancing school, tennis and
vour sorority?
A: It's definitely hard. I have to give a lot more time to school and tennis now than I did at home. I don't have much free time.
Q: Who do you want to win the World Series?
A: I don't even know who's in it. You can give me some teams and I'll pick one. I guess the New York Yankees because that sounds the most familiar to me.
Q: Do people recognize you on campus as a tennis player?
A: They don't come up to me and say, "Hey good job," but people I know do. Girls in my sorority and people from home and the dorms tell me good job.
Q: What do you do to prepare for tennis matches?
A: We do our team warm-up and then I kind of stay to myself before matches, and that's about it.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
O: Are you voting in two weeks?
A: Yeah, my mom sent me a — what do you call it? — an absentee ballot to make sure I'm going to vote. I'm going to vote for Bush, but I don't want to get into that.
www.kansan.com
Q: What are some benefits of being on the tennis team?
A: I get the opportunity to do something I've always worked for. It's an opportunity to stand out and have people know who you are.
A2. The freedom. You get to manage your time however you want.
Q: What the best thing about college?
A: Yeah, my dad. I've always looked up to him and admired him. We've just kind of gone through it all together. My mom, too; she supports me.
O: Do you have a role model?

Volleyball stops Oklahoma

Shutout of Sooners leads to second consecutive road victory
Last night, sophomore Jana Correa was finally able to put last season's knee injury behind her.
In the same building where she tore her ACL last season, the outside hitter led the Kansas volleyball team to its second straight road victory, a sweep of Oklahoma.
"Our left side hitters stepped up tonight and really gave us a boost," coach Ray Bechard said.
Correa, who plays on on the left side, had a match-high 17 kills while fellow outside hitter Paula Caten, a junior, was second with 15.
The Jayhawks never trailed in game one. When the Sooners closed the gap, Correa answered. She had five kills in
The Jayhawks have no game this weekend, but Bechard said the bye would not deaden his team's emotion.
the set, Kansas won the game. 30-27.
Oklahoma had its first lead of the match after scoring the first point of game two. It would not lead again, as the Brazilian trio of Correa, Caten and junior middle blocker Josi Lima all contributed powerful kills in the second half of the set to win 30-28.
In game three, an early service ace by freshman opposite hitter Emy Brown
— her third in the last two matches and fourth in the last three — forced the Sooners to take a time-out. The
Sooners closed the early six-point gap, but the Jayhawks' front line was too much to handle. The line's hitting percentage for the final match was .395. Hitting percentage indicates how many attack attempts result in a kill.
Correa had an impressive .640 attack percentage on the night, while Caten hit .500 — 15 kills and two errors on 26 attempts.
In addition to Brown's ace, the team had three others in the match. But serving was dismal at other times, as the team had 12 errors in the three sets. On Saturday against Missouri, the team set a season-high with 20 service errors.
The Sooners had 12 blocks on the night to just four for the Jayhawks, who have been outblocked for seven straight matches.
The victory moves Kansas from 10th to ninth in the conference and back
into tournament consideration.
The Jayhawks have no game this weekend, but Bechard said the bye would not deaden his team's emotion. Kansas has won two of its last three matches, with the lone loss being Saturday's five-game thriller against Missouri.
Libero Jill Dorsey said the tournament committee could select as many as nine teams from the Big 12 Conference. The senior said it is the best volleyball conference in the country last week.
"Having the weekend off comes at a good time and this win will give us a little momentum coming into the pivotal second half of Big 12 play," he said.
The team will begin the second half of conference competition when they host Iowa State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Horeisi Family Athletics Center.

OU star a 'package deal,' challenges KU defense

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Few running backs have made the type of impact as a true freshman in college football that Adrian Peterson has for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Peterson ranks third in the Big 12 Conference and fifth nationally with more than 150 rushing yards per game.
"He gets out on the edge so quickly, and he accelerates very quickly out of his stance," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said of Peterson. "He is a guy who, once he gets rolling, he's so powerful that you got to wrap up or you are not going to bring him down."
Peterson took over the starting running back position from Kejuan Jones after the Oklahoma's first game of the season against Bowling Green. In that contest, Jones ran for 148 yards, but Peterson still managed to run for 100 yards.
Mangino thought back to Hershall Walker and Bo Jackson to remember running backs who made this kind of splash during their freshmen seasons.
"I think they have done a good job of spelling him with Kejuan Jones, and Kejuan is a really good back, too; he shouldn't be taken lightly," Mangino said. "I think they have done a good job of mixing it up and not over using Peterson. He's a workhorse for them, but I don't think they are over using him."
Jones is averaging more than 60 yards per contest, despite losing his starting job. He has been used primarily to give Peterson rest.
In every game this season Peterson has run for more than 100 yards, including 225 yards against Texas two
weeks ago.
"Our guys have been working hard this week in wrapping up and taking a back like that to the ground," Mangino said. "If you try to throw a shoulder at him or try to dive at his ankles there is no
PARKER
chance, you have to get a collision and wrap him up."
PETERSON
If Peterson runs for at least 99 yards this week he will break the 1,000 yard plateau and tie Emmitt Smith and Marshall Faulk for the freshman record for reaching 1,000

yards in the fewest games. Peterson has quickly become one of the best running backs in the Big 12 and the nation.
JONES
"This guy's elusive and he's big and his fast, it's a package deal with him," Kansas linebacker Banks Floodman said. "It's going to be tough to tackle him, but we are excited for the opportunity."
With Peterson's success, Oklahoma has become less reliant on the passing attack and has been a much more effective rushing team. Last season the team averaged just less than 146 yards rushing per contest. So far this season, the Sooners are averaging more than 236
"Our guys have been working hard this week
wrapping up and taking a back like that to the ground."
Mark Mangino
University of Kansas football coach
"We are going to have to swarm, because he does not go down with one tackle. He will run you over like he showed in the Kansas State game a few times," Floodman said. "We are going to have to keep our feet and run through tackles, because if you don't move your feet he can run right through you."
vards per game.
Peterson should be a challenge for the Jayhawk defense, which is ranked third in the conference in rushing defense.
With the increased balance of the running attack, Mangino said that Oklahoma quarterback Jason White had less pressure on him. The Sooner passing attack is passing for nearly 75 yards less than it did last season. And even with a decrease in production, the Sooners have managed to be just as successful offensively because they've increased their rushing yards.
"What they are trying to do is trying to get the run game to take a little bit of the pressure off Jason White so he is not back there having to throw for several downs, and they have been successful in running the football," Mangino said.

Both QBs may play Saturday
After practice yesterday, coach Mark Mangino cleared up the controversy about who would play quarterback — sophomore Adam Barmann or junior Jason Swanson.
"We're going to start Adam, but it's our intention to play Jason as well," Mangino said.
Mangino said there was no set time period when Swanson should expect to come into the game. He also said that if Barmann was hot, the coaching staff would not pull him for the sole purpose of giving Swanson playing time.
Both will.
"Adam's our starter, he's earned that right," Mangino said. "Adam has managed a hostile environment as well."
The quarterback situation may have calmed, but Mangino has yet to settle on a permanent kicker. In fact, Mangino has elected to take a page from other teams that have been playing lately.
"With the baseball playoffs on, you've got to go with the bullpen," Mangino said.
This is also the first week that Kansas kickers have been able to practice with goal posts at Memorial Stadium. Students removed the goal posts in celebration of the team's victory over Kansas State.
Mangino even predicted who he thought would win yesterday's American League Championship game between Boston and New York
"I'd like to see Boston, just because it's a great story."

K-State, Sproles don't live up
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Kansas State broke a 15-year tradition when it put Darren Sproles' picture on the front of its media guide and set up a Web site touting him for the Heisman Trophy.
Never before had coach Bill Snyder allowed one player to get so much attention.
Now, Sproles' senior season — and the Wildcats — are collapsing under the weight of huge expectations.
Targeted by opposing defenses and increasingly marginalized by the Wildcats' game plans, the All-American running back has yet to produce big numbers in a big game.
Sproles doesn't show the disappointment in public, just as he tries to avoid discussing the pain of losing his mother, Annette, to cancer in April. But it's there. Snuder said.
As his production has fallen off, so have Kansas State's fortunes.
of bowl appearances.
The Wildcats entered the season ranked 13th and favored to contend for a conference title. Instead, they're 2-4 overall, 0-3 in the Big 12 and two losses away from breaking an 11-year string
His 211 yards in the season opener came against Western Kentucky, which plays in Division I-AA.
"He just wants so badly to help this football team, and if his numbers are not substantial, he envisions it as not providing as much help as he can." Snyder said. "I would say yes, he probably has some frustrations."
Sproles, who led the nation last season with 1,986 yards rushing in 15 games, has 718 yards and three touchdowns this season. But those numbers, while respectable as a whole, mask a series of sub-par performances against high-level onponents.
Two weeks later, Sproles set a school record with 292 yards against Louisiana-Lafayette from the Sun Belt
Conference. In the Wildcats' four losses against Fresno State, Texas A&M, Kansas and Oklahoma, he has failed to get close to 100 yards.
In one three-game span, he fumbled six times — losing four of them — and muffed two punts. The second muff, against Kansas, set up a score for the Jayhawks and led Snyder to relieve Sproles of his punt return duties.
Last week, against No. 2 Oklahoma — the same team Sproles shredded for 235 yards when Kansas State beat the Sooners 35-7 for the Big 12 Conference title — he had 34 yards on 13 carries in a 31-21 loss.
"I'll do whatever I have to do out there to help the team," he said. "But I would like the ball."
Sproeles didn't sound angry with his coaches after the Sooners' 31-21 victory
Snyder would like to give it to him more. But when opponents crowd eight or nine defenders into the box, that can be difficult.

Big Ten's top teams will not play each other this season
Purdue can do Wisconsin a favor when the team plays Michigan.
The Boilermakers will try to stay in the Big Ten title race, but they can also help the Badgers to first place in the conference by defeating Michigan — something Wisconsin won't be able to do themselves.
Thanks to the Big Ten's rotating schedule, the Badgers (7-0, 4-0) and Wolverines (6-1, 4-0) — the only Big ten teams still unbeaten in conference play — don't meet this season.
It's been a problem for the Big Ten since it added Penn State in 1993.
In 2002, Ohio State won the national title, but shared the Big Ten crown with Iowa when both teams finished with perfect conference records.

Poll criteria released in July will better determine football champion

WEEK-ONE POLLS
With the release of the first Bowl Championship Series poll on Monday, the reinvented BCS formula is finally being put to work.

In July, the BCS unveiled its new formula, which relies on the rankings from three different polls. The formula factors in the Associated Press poll, the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' poll and a computer poll average. Each component counts for one-third of a team's overall BCS score in the standings.
According to the BCS media guide, the new formula doesn't average teams' weekly rankings. It takes a team's score in the AP poll and divides it by 1,625 — the most points a team can receive. It takes a team's score in
Southern California ranked No.1 in the first poll, with Miami University No.2 and Oklahoma No.3. Southern California and Oklahoma were ranked No.1 and 2, respectively, in the AP and USA Today/ESPN polls. So how did Miami sneak in at number two overall in the first BCS standing? It edged out Oklahoma in the computer rankings. Miami finished second overall in the computer rankings. behind Southern California, while Oklahoma finished fifth.
the coaches' poll and divides it by 1,500. The third component is an average of six computer rankings. The team's highest and lowest scores are thrown out, and the other four determine the score.
The strength-of-schedule component, which had been a factor in previous years, was eliminated from the formula. The strength of schedule accounted for a team's record and quality wins over other ranked opponents. This year, when FoxSports.net ranked Kansas' schedule the second most difficult in the country, the new BCS formula could work against the Jayhawks.
In the past, the AP and Coaches' polls did not play as significant a roll in the in the BCS standings. They were averaged and then combined with other factors, such as bonus points for quality wins, which are wins over good opponents.
reworked to be less complex and more accurate in determining the top two teams for the BCS championship game —this year it is the FedEx Orange Bowl. Last year, Louisiana State beat Oklahoma in the BCS title game, which ideally would have made Louisiana State the national champion. However, because Southern California, ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, defeated Michigan in the Rose Bowl, the BCS had to name Southern California and Louisiana State duel national champions.
The BCS formula was
The BCS standings will be used to select the teams that play in the Orange Bowl. They will also be used to determine whether any team that is not from a BCS conference will be able to play in a BCS Series. The conferences in the BCS are the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pacific-10 and Southeastern. The BCS will also use its rankings to determine other automatic at-large selections, and teams that are eligible for those selections.
selections. The Rose Bowl will host the Big 10 and Pac-10 champions. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowll will host the Big 12 champion and the Nokia Sugar Bowll will host the SEC champion. If one of those teams is ranked number one or two in the BCS standings at the end of the season, the BCS game scheduled to host that team will select a replacement from a list of eligible teams.
This year, the Orange Bowl will be held on Jan. 4, 2005, in Miami, Fla., at Pro Player Stadium. It will take the No. 1 and 2 ranked teams in the BCS. Then the other BCS games—the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl—will make their selections.
Finishing the season in the top six in the BCS standings ensures a BCS bid. Teams must finish in the top 12 in the BCS to qualify for an at-large bid.

Chiefs use yellow tape to mellow out
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In an amusing twist to a possibly demoralizing controversy, the Kansas City Chiefs found yellow caution tape surrounding back Larry Johnson's locker yesterday.
The same tape that is used to rope off disaster sites stretched about six feet into the room in front of the stall of Johnson, who had blasted the organization the day before. A former 2003 first-round pick who has been complaining about being third team,
Johnson was furious on Tuesday that he was not traded by the NFL deadline.
was already under strain. And it worked. Players coming in from practice roared at the joke.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Johnson insisted the tape was an idea that he and backlash Tony Richardson hatched together to try to lighten the situation for a 1-4 Chiefs team that
"We're just having fun about it," said Johnson. "I told T-Rich we should do something, just be dumb about it, and that's what we did."

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Jayhawk football team takes on the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday at noon. It has been two years since these teams faced each other and four years since the Hawks went to Norman, Okla.' This will also mark the first meeting between the teams since coach Mark Mangino left Oklahoma as the offensive coordinator.
Editor's note: Each Thursday Kansan sportswriter Jennifer Sher will profile a recreational hot spot. If you know of a fun or interesting place or activity, e-mail jsher@kansan.com.
The Jayhawks needs support, and with midterms winding down, it's the perfect time to gather friends and take a trip to Norman, Okla., to support the 3-3 Jayhawks.
The Sooner's home field, another Memorial Stadium, is located in the heart of the campus.
There is a lot to do in Norman outside the football stadium, but you'd better get there early. What sets Oklahoma's pre-game apart from Kansas' the wet campus.
"It is crazy here. There is beer everywhere," Brak Hanson, Oklahoma University senior said. "People set their tents up days before the game to stake claim, and those who do not have tickets continue partying throughout the game."
Campus Corner, an area of restaurants and shops just off campus, is generally lined with beer stands, and down the street is Louie's, a bar owned by Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops.
For the second weekend in a row, a Kansas team will serve as a homecoming opponent. Last weekend the soccer team spoiled Oklahoma State's homecoming.
"Our football tradition is so rich, it is one of the best parts about being a Sooner," he said.
This is one reason why Kansas students are choosing to make the trip to Norman.
"I heard the OU stadium is amazing," Cohen said. "The Jayhawks are having a pretty good season, so we all decided to meet some friends down there and have a fun weekend."
The Sooners' Memorial Stadium holds more than 82,000 people. After its recent $65 million expansion and renovation, it is one of the largest campus sports facilities in the nation.
Karin Cohen, Plymouth, Minn., junior, will be driving there with her friends.
After watching the game in Memorial, Hanson said the place to be is O'Connell's behind the stadium for a beer and burger.
For night time activity, dress to impress on Campus Corner. This is where the nightlife takes place in a fashionable style. The crowd looks dressed for an evening at a nice restaurant.
Every school has unique aspects, which is why former Kansas student Ryan Call, originally from Wamego, is going.
"We are going for the tradition of OU football, which is similar to ours in basketball," Call said. "Plus it is always fun to see other college towns."
After celebrating a Kansas victory, fans can crash at one of the lodging facilities near campus and Campus Corner, including a Days Inn, La Quinta or sooner Motel.
Even without tickets, the five hour drive is well worth it, especially to see a school with rich football tradition and a great pre-game party. Just make sure that Rock Chalk Jayhawk is heard over the sounds of Boomer Sooner.

Cardinals defeats Astros to force series showdown
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Jim Edmonds skipped around the bases, jumping into a cluster of St. Louis Cardinals waiting for him at home plate.
Now, waiting for all of them is Roger Clemens in an all-or-nothing Game 7.
Edmonds blasted a two-run homer in the 12th inning and the rejuvenated Cardinals turned Busch Stadium into a red frenzy, beating the Houston Astros 6-4 yesterday to even the NL championship series at 3-all.
"We all watched TV as kids. We all hear all the stuff you guys say and write and show us. I finally get to play in a Game 7." Edmonds said.
"I think how much better does it get? Game 7 vs. Roger Clemens," he said.
After Jeff Bagwell's two-out single in the ninth off Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen tied it at 4. Edmonds won it with a one-out shot off Dan Miceli.
Bagwell didn't even bother watching as Edmonds's shot sailed way over the St. Louis bullpen in right field.
The star first baseman simply walked across the field while the Cardinals streamed out of the dugout.
"A very winnable game for us, so I'm disappointed," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "Haven't given much thought to tomorrow's game, only that I had scheduled the Rocket to go."
Clemens came out of retirement for the sole purpose of pitching his hometown Astros into their first World Series.
Now, the 42-year-old ace will get that chance tonight.
“What's there to say?” Clemens said, excusing himself to go watch the Red Sox play
New York in Game 7 of the ALCS. "We've got to win tomorrow."
It will be will Clemens' fourth career start in a Game 7 — he's 1-0 in those outings after getting knocked out early last year in the ALCS for the Yankees.
"I've never seen him pitch when he wasn't tough to beat," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "It shapes up to be a terrific matchup."
Right-hander Julian Tavarez pitched two innings for the victory. He pitched with a left hand that he broke in a dugout tantrum in Houston.
"It's my understanding that it's the fingers that are broken as opposed to the hand, so I'm not surprised. He did throw well," Garner said.
The Cardinals won a postseason game in extra innings for the first time since the 1964 World Series at Yankee Stadium.
Miceli came on after Astros pitcher Brad Lidge blew away St. Louis for three perfect innings, striking out five.
"Of course you want him out of there," St. Louis' Albert Pujols said.
Pujols drew a leadoff walk and one out later Edmonds connected for his second homer of the NLCS.
Puijols got the Cardinals started with a two-run homer in the first inning off Pete Munro. He pitched so that Clemens would not have to work on three days' rest.
The Cardinals took a 4-3 lead into the ninth, but Isringhausen immediately put himself in jeopardy by hitting pinch-hitter Morgan Ensberg.
A bunt moved Ensberg to second, and Craig Biggio hit a fly ball for the second out.
That brought up Carlos Beltran, and the Cardinals huddled on the mound.

After a double steal,
Isringhausen managed to keep it
tied by striking out Lance
Berkman.
In the bottom half, Lidge retired the first two batters before throwing a fastball over the head of Edmonds.
La Russa came out of the dugout to discuss the pitch with plate umpire Ed Rapuano.
Before the game, the manager angrily confronted baseball disciplinarian Bob Watson behind the batting cage, steamed that Tavarez was fined $10,000 for a pitch over Bagwell's helmet in Game 4.
"The only thing I was upset about was MLB made this ridiculous ruling about Tavarez," La Rusa said.
After hitting only .161 in three-straight losses at Minute Maid Park, the Cardinals quickly found their stroke at Busch Stadium.
Puijols put St. Louis ahead with his sixth homer of the postseason, a two-run shot, and later added a double and single.
He scored twice, and was called out at the plate another time when he ran through a coach's stop sign.
Beltran, continuing to build his October resume, hit two balls off the right-field wall and both times was held to a single by right fielder Larry Walker's fast relay throw.
Beltran scored twice, and his total of 20 postseason runs broke Barry Bonds' postseason record of 18 set in 2002.
Mike Lamb, starting at third base in place of the struggling Ensberg, hit a solo homer off Matt Morris in the fourth that made it 4-3.

BUHLER STANDS ON EDUCATION: We owe our children adequately funded public schools. And because we compete regionally and nationally for quality students, faculty, staff, and facilities, we can't continue to neglect the many important issues relating to higher education. Next year's legislature must set high standards for education for the next decade. I'll pledge to be part of the solution for children in our communities and at our universities. We can do this.Together.
I would appreciate your vote November 2nd.

Boston socks it to New York in Game 7
-
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Boston blew away decades of defeat with four sweet swings.
Believe it, New England, the Red Sox are in the World Series. And they got there with the most unbelievable comeback of all, shaming the New York Yankees, the Evil Empire to the south.
Just three outs from getting swept out of the AL championship series three nights earlier, the Red Sox finally humbled the dreaded Yankees, winning Game 7 in a 10-3 shocker yesterday to become the first major league team to overcome a 3-0 postseason series deficit.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Red Sox fan Danny Arelo, of Pawtucket, R.I., right, jumps up from his table at a bar in Boston as the Boston Red Sox score in the first inning against the New York Yankees in American League playoff action yesterday. For the second straight year, the Red Sox and the Yankees pushed the championship series to a Game 7.
Cursed for 86 years, these Red Sox just might be charmed.
There is no torture this time, no hour of humiliation. Better yet to Boston fans, it's the Yankees left to suffer the memory of a historic collapse.
Steven Senne/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Boston didn't need any of the late-inning dramatics that marked the last three games, leading 6-0 after two innings.
David Ortiz, the series MVP, started it with a two-run homer in the first off broken-down Kevin Brown, and Johnny Damon quieted Yankee Stadium in the second inning with a grand slam on Javier Vazquez's first pitch.
After Derek Jeter sparked hope of a comeback with a run-scoring single in the third, Damon put a two-run homer into the upper deck for an 8-1 lead in the fourth.
Dereck Lowe, pitching on just two days' rest, silenced the
Yankees' bats and their boasting fans, who just last weekend assumed New York's seventh pennant in nine years was all but a lock. He allowed one hit in six innings, then Pedro Martinez started the seventh, his first relief appearance in five years, sparking chants of "Who's Your Daddy?"
Three hits and two runs got the crowd going, but the rally stopped there and Mark Bellhorn added a solo homer in the eighth for a 9-3 Boston lead.
Cheering of Red Sox fans could be heard in the ninth, and when pinch-hitter Ruben Sierra grounded to second baseman Pokey Reese for the final out, Boston players ran on the field and jumped together in a mass huddle to the first-base side of the mound.
Yankees players slowly walked off, eliminated on their home field for the second straight season.
On a cool, crisp night in the Bronx, the historical pattern was broken, and the World Series will start at Fenway Park on Saturday night against St. Louis or Houston.
Now that the Babe's team has been beaten, Boston can try to reverse The Curse, win the Series for the first time since 1918 and bring happiness to the Hub which can scarcely believe the tumultuous turn of events.
Just because they won it over New York, in Yankee Stadium, site of the Game 7 meltdown when the Red Sox were five outs from winning last year.
This was for Williams and Peskv, for Yastrzemski and
From Fenway Park to Faneuil Hall, from Boston Common to Beacon Hill, the 11th pennant for the Red Sox, the first since 1986, will be remembered as perhaps the sweetest.
Yawkey, for Fisk and Rice and even Buckner and Nomar, just a few of the hundreds who suffered the pain inflicted by their New York neighbors in a rivalry that has become baseball's best.
None of the previous 25 major
league teams to fall behind 3-0 even forced a series to seven games. The wild-card Red Sox became only the third team in the four major North American leagues to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series and win.
New York, which dropped to 10-2 in the LCS, will no doubt face a bitter winter, with owner George Steinbrenner likely to take charge of overhauling a roster that has been short of starting pitching since the spring.

millennium or just a few steps in the right direction,but Jayhawk fans have much to cheer about in this young century.
With new leaders at the helm of the most prominent athletic programs, Kansas sports have seen an allaround revival of excitement and success. Though teams have felt their own share of heartbreak thus far, the century has had poignant moments. So far, here are the best:
tear down the goalposts in Columbia, Mo., after beating a Jayhawk team that won only two games the whole season.
10. Border War Beating; The Big 12 Conference 2003 football season opener brought sweet triumph to Memorial Stadium and goalposts to Potter Lake. The 35-14 victory over No. 23 Missouri was especially satisfying, because one year earlier Tiger players helped
9. Lew Locked In: In an expensive move by the University, Lew Perkins is made athletic director in June 2003. During his tenure, the department has seen changes both popular and unpopular. The only hope is that football bowl games outnumber changes made to student ticket policy.
8. Tailgating Returns: The combination of drinking, college students and football is a successful trio. In August 2003 the administration decided to allow pregame alcohol drinking in designated areas near Memorial Stadium, and the decision produced more enthusiastic and entertaining fans.
7. New Faces: Kansas has recently received a major facelift with the addition of three big-time coaches. First, football coach Mark Mangino's hiring in December 2001 and then the additions of men's basketball coach Bill Self in 2003 and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson in 2004.
6. Tangerine, Tangerine: Snapping an eight-year postseason drought, the football team earned its sixth and bowl-qualifying victory from Iowa State to close the 2003 season. With a 6-6 record, the Jayhawks went to Orlando, Fla., for the Tangerine Bowl. The result, however, was painful.
5. Kansas Kingpins: April 2004 brought Jayhawk sports fans something March Madness could not: a national title. In its first national championship since 1963, the Kansas bowling team knocked off Saginaw Valley State in the IBC finals, 2-1.
4. Final Four, Part One: The
2001-2002 men's basketball team entered the Big Dancer with high expectations. After ripping through the regular season, its chances to win it all seemed as good as any队. After an Elite Eight victory against Oregon, 104-86, the Jayhawks eventually bowed out in the national semifinal, losing to Maryland, 88-97.
3. All Falls Down: An 11-game losing streak to Kansas State? Fallen. North and south goalposts at Memorial Stadium? Down. Two weeks ago, the 31-28 victory against the Wildcats produced joy in Lawrence, despair in Manhattan and a game for the ages.
2. Final Four, Part Two: After another year of growth, the 2002-2003 Kansas men's basketball team made a return trip to the Final Four. This time, the Jayhawks destroyed
Marquette 94-61 in the national semifinal, which was the fourth largest Final Four victory in history. Two days later, Syracuse delivered a painful loss that still stings the heart of any lavachaw fan.
1. Perfection: The 2001-2002
men's basketball team recorded the first 16-0 season in Big 12 Conference history, and few feats are more impressive. By running the table while playing in one of the toughest leagues in the country, the Jayhawks set expectations

New drinking age group's goal
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
PUNISHMENTS FOR UNDERAGE DRINKING
The University of Kansas Political Activist Club doesn't think it is fair that 18-year-olds can vote but can't sit at a counter in a bar and have an alcoholic beverage. According to law, you must be 21 to do so, but that's a law this group wants to change.
The club's goal is to get the drinking age lowered to 18.
The club will begin lobbying the Legislature in January 2005 but has already spoken with staff members for U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) and Ralph Nader, Reform Party presidential candidate.
Lowering the drinking age is not about going out and getting plastered, but about a balance in the adult responsibilities given to us, said Krystal Werth.
Here are facts and consequences for underage drinking in Lawrence:
A minor is anyone below the age of 21.
An arrest can be made and a citation issued simply for a minor possessing an alcoholic beverage—e.g. an opnapping pco.

open container of alcohol, a minor can be sentenced to a sixmonth jail sentence and fined up to $200. The judge can suspend your driver's license on the second conviction.
If convicted for possessing, purchasing or consuming alcohol, a minor can spend up to 30 days in jail and be fined $300 to $500. The minor is also required to perform up to 40 hours of community service, attend an alcohol education program and his or her license will be suspended for 30 days.

then he should be able to have a drink,
Werth, 19, said.
Right now people younger than 21 face legal punishments for drinking underage, but that doesn't keep some
from drinking.
Werth said it was not really a matter of whether people were drinking,was a matter of whether that person was legally or illegally drinking.
The drinking age was changed from 18 to 19 on July 1, 1985. The next year, the age was raised to 20, and in 1987 it increased to 21. Before 1985, 18-year-olds could only drink 3.2 percent alcohol.
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required all states to raise the minimum age to 21 for the purchase and public possession of alcohol.
States that do comply with the Act face a reduction in federal highway and transportation funding.
More than likely, the proposal for lowering the drinking age would go

Buses to test biodiesel fuel
Transportation Board preparing for test run before Thanksgiving
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Steven Bartkoski/KANSAN
Campus may smell faintly of doughnuts or french fries once biodiesel fuel testing for University busses begins, according to the Kansas Soybean Association.
Tim Akright, KU on Wheels president and University of Kansas Student Senate transportation board coordinator, said the board was aiming for one Jayhawk Express bus to test biodiesel fuel before Thanksgiving Break.
However, he said he didn't think campus would smell like Krispie Kremes.
Some kinks still need to be worked out before the trial run, which could last one or two weeks. can begin.
The cost has not been a factor so far, said Akright. Overland Park senior. He said biodiesel fuel costs about 25 cents more per gallon than regular diesel fuel.
The board needs to discuss issues such as how to deal with complaints, where to store the biodiesel fuel, what state regulations exist for biodiesel fuel and what standard emissions the board will aim for.

a budget of $1.6 million per year and uses 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year.
The trial run will help the board work through its concerns about biodiesel fuel. Akright said.
Biodiesel fuel may jell in extremely low winter temperatures, and buses may lose power more easily in the winter while using biodiesel fuel.
"We don't want to get to the point where a bus could fail or not get up a hill." Akright said.
Akrent said the buses already had trouble driving up Naismith Drive in winter conditions.
Steve Munch and Jeff Dunlap, student body president and vice president, ran with the KUnited coalition last spring on a platform to switch all of the University's buses to biodiesel fuel.

Numbers up at Symposium

Attendance increases for Black Leadership conference
More than 550 African-American high school students met yesterday at the Kansas Union to learn about the University of Kansas, college life and the importance of being a leader.
The turnout for the 19th annual Black Leadership Symposium was larger than expected this year.
"We planned for 500 students but 535 showed up," said Pamela Scott, associate director in the Office of
The Black Leadership Symposium is an opportunity for high school students to be exposed to different aspects of college, Scott said. It is also an opportunity for students to learn about what college has to offer, Scott said.
"We hope to give aspirations to, or course come to KU, but to get to college in general." she said.

Jalisa Mathis, Junction City High School sophomore, said that she didn't know yet if she would go to the University, but she knew that she
would go to college after she graduated. She came to the symposium to see how people cared about black education and said that the event reminded her that whatever she believed she could achieve.
"It did give me a chance to see a different part of KU," Mathis said as she watched the Inspirational Gospel Voices perform during lunch.
Scott said the lunch was the most social and fun event. National Pan-Hellenic Council sororities and fraternities performed step shows and then talked to students about their chapters.

Let's go out to the lobby By Stephen Shupe, Jayplay writer
Movie theaters survive on candy and 'corn
Natalie Portman and Zach Braff sit dripping in a shimmering swimming pool at night. Slowly they lean in until their faces partially block an underwater light in close-up, glowing in anticipatory ecstasy. The audience is gripped, and then ...
Chomp, crunch, munch. Sturp.
A patron — his ponytail and girth making him look like a cleanly shaved version of the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons — is in the back row adding his own effect to the soundtrack, smacking his lips as he downs a handful of buttery popcorn goodness. As the gentle strums of Iron and Wine collide with the sound of one man eating, you expect Portman and Braff to turn to the camera and say, "Hey buddy? Moment!"
Even when a movie resonates with audiences the way that Garden State did, movie houses still function as food factories. Call it the evils of capitalism or the death of art, but the proliferation of Raisinets and Reeses Pieces provide movie theaters with their main source of income. It's a necessary evil, but as Roger Ebert once noted, "An art form will forever be in a separate category if you can attend it while eating Twizzlers."
This is the nature of the business. Studios take up to 80 percent of box office grosses on opening weekend. If a film plays long enough, the theater will start to see a significant cut of the grosses. But this is the age of the one-week blockbusters (The Day After Tomorrow, I, Robot), where movies have lost their longevity. This particularly hurts South Wind 12 Theatres, 3433 Iowa St., which has to make up for
playing so many movies for just a few weeks. Jon Ratzlaff, general manager of South Wind 12, says business has been especially slow since summer ended. Movies like First Daughter and Mr. 3000 barely survived their opening weekends, and playing box-office duds means relying more heavily on the sales of Milk Duds. Ratzlaff says South Wind 12 almost completely counts on concession sales to make a profit, and when you do the math, paying $5.75 for a student ticket and$ 5.25 for a large popcorn doesn't sound so unreasonable.
At Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., business runs a little differently, because the theater works in conjunction with La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St., and Free State Brewing Co. 636 Massachusetts St. But Tim Griffith, concession manager at Liberty Hall, says any movie relies on money made at the candy counter. Liberty Hall has done well this semester, with the R-rated Garden State and the PG-rated Napoleon Dynamite both proving to have long shelf lives. Because most of the movies that play at Liberty Hall are rated R, the theater can tailor its business to an adult audience, providing Free State beer and mixed drinks along with the Gummy Bears and M&Ms. "It's not that our movies are all trash or porn, they're just for adults," Griffith says.
As for the guy in the back row munching popcorn during Garden State: He might be annoying, but the movie going experience wouldn't be possible without him.

Going platonic
Ex-lovers who want to be friends often have a difficult transition in store

"Let's just be friends."
You might call it the cliché breakup line, at least for those relationships that end with more of a whimper than a boom. Most of us have heard it or said it at one time or another, sometimes as truth, sometimes as a load of patronizing BS, but whether it is genuine sentiment or faker than a sorority girl's tan, it's the smiley face we use to mark out the failures in our love lives.
Granted, not all relationships end in such clean fashion. There's no shortage of jilted lovers wandering the world, and a fair amount of couples part ways with a "get the hell out" instead of a "let's be friends." But many relationships fail for more subtle reasons and consequently end on more amiable terms.
The passion fades; someone wants to explore; special friends mistake each other for That Special Someone, and a breakup ensues. In these cases, people look for a way to acknowledge the good in their former lovers, and expressing desire for a friendship is a way to do that, says Alison James, author of I Used to Miss Him, But My Aim is Improving: Not Your Ordinary Breakup Survival Guide. "It seems like such an easy thing to say," she adds, "so you won't hurt someone's feelings."
Motivations aside, whether these postbreakup friendships actually work is another issue altogether. James says
most don't work, at least not right away, and people need a cooling-off period after they go through a breakup. "You need to be a little bit selfish," she says. The friendship can wait "until both people have actually moved on."
The time it takes to move on obviously varies from couple to couple. Generally, the longer two people have been together, the longer it will take them to get used to just being friends, says Ashkan Karbassrooshan, advice columnist for Askmen.com. For example, in the case of a five-year relationship, it might take another four or five years for a former couple to be entirely comfortable with each other, he says. In contrast, if it's two people who fooled around for a few weeks after meeting in the keg line at a party, the transition might be a little easier.
Some people say having a history of being friends can also help couples make the transition. Kayt Schwarten, Overland Park senior, has tried friendship with an ex both ways – with a guy she didn't know before their relationship and with a guy she'd previously been good friends with. She quickly fell out of touch with the former, but her friendship with the latter, she says, is still going strong.
Other factors that come into play are the age and personalities of the people involved and the nature of their relationship. Couples who are driven by sex and
take little stock in conversation, for instance, might have a harder time switching gears to a friendship, says Lynn Harris, co-founder of love advice Web site Breakup-
girl.net. Harris also says younger couples put a higher priority on staying friends after a breakup. "When you get older, you get a little crankier and you develop an attitude of 'I have enough friends,'" she says.
In any case, Harris stresses the importance of giving the situation time and recognizing that any friendship with an ex-lover is going to feel weird for a while, if for no other reason than because it's a fundamental change in how two people interact.
"You don't hang out together and say, 'Wow, look at that beautiful sunset, buddy,'" she says. "It's not the same."
And even when the weirdness ceases on the surface, some conversation topics might still be off-limits. James says discussing your sex life with a now-friendly ex is a definite mistake because it's a surefire way to dredge up old feelings. "Just because you had a fabulous date a week ago doesn't mean this person needs to hear about it," James says.
As for that guilty pleasure of having sex with your ex, that's a negative too. We've
all been there after six or seven too many Jagerbombs, our resolution crumbling faster and faster as our blood alcohol level climbs higher and higher. But just say no to sex with a friendly ex. "If you're going to be friends, be friends," James says.
Harris recommends keeping the friendship light at first by hanging out together in small ways, as opposed to the larger, more open-ended activities you might have been used to as a couple. For example, going bowling would be a better choice than going to your parents' house for a holiday weekend. You get the drift.
For the post-breakup friendships that eventually work, rewarding experiences often follow. Kathy Truong, Lawrence senior, says her friendship with one of her exes has benefits that her other friendships don't share. "I dited him for three years," she says. "I can still talk to him about things going on in my life on the same level that I've always talked to him."
But Harris says couples who just can't make the switch shouldn't feel bad or guilty. She says too many people try to be friends after a relationship ends because they feel obligated. "Staying friends doesn't mean you're virtuous," she says. "And not staying friends doesn't mean you're bad."

Sometimes women just need a good book that appreciates the greatness of men as well as women, and women all know that men can be a goddess and, at other times, a direct pain in our butts. This is the power of Quotes OF Love by J. C. O'Brien Browne, gives women all this and more. It's a guide to finding a man and keeping him, plus all of the stuff we see on TV. From "The five men you must have in your life at all times" to
"Men who may need killing, quite frankly." The book can be found in any bookstore, but you might want to consider getting it from a well-known bookstore its great price.

He said she said "I want to do whatever you want to do."
Wait a minute? So she really does want to crash on the couch with an open bag of pork rinds and a 12-pack of Natty Light and watch ESPN Classic until the sun comes up?
Ah, you poor, naïve, soon-to-be single fool.
When a girl says this, what she really means is "You better figure out what I want to do, or I won't be happy," says Shannon Galvin, Kansas City junior — i.e. "I want to do whatever you want to do, as long as it's what I want to do." So, for example, my Monday Night Football watching friend, if you want to switch the game over to the Oxygen double feature, then you're set—
otherwise, be on the lookout for these innocuous-sounding words because how you respond to them could be the difference between getting play and getting in an argument.

How to protect your computer from viruses
It's a normal day during finals week and you're putting the finishing touches on the paper that is due tomorrow. Sure, you put it off all semester, but now you're patting

yourself on the back because it hasn't turned out too shabby, if you do say so yourself. Then, just before you print, the screen freezes and before you can scream "I should've saved it to disk!" the whole thing's gone.

VIRUS
FREE
This situation is possible for anyone who owns a computer and the likely culprit is a virus. Melissa Marietta, Salina senior, had so many viruses on her computer last year she just stopped using it. "I just got tired of it and now I have a new computer," Marietta says.
Photo illustration by Ginny Weatherman and Neil Mulka
University of Kansas. The second you are online, viruses and spyware are probing your computer.
Marietta's experience isn't hard to believe. The reality is that without virus protection, computers that are online will be infiltrated within 12 to 15 minutes, says Chuck Crawford, information security officer for the
The good news is that most viruses are
simplistic programming,says information security consultant Robert Slade. The majority of viruses are merely modified versions of other viruses.
And the technology to combat viruses is the more sophisticated of the two, though it is a constant battle. But you're computer isn't going to protect itself.
Get real
It's time to fight back against the viruses that are getting into your computer. You have to take this threat seriously. Some viruses may only slow
the machine down, but many can permanently destroy files or even leave the computer useless. There are now viruses that can crack passwords, Crawford says. If you are using an easy password such as your last name or "jayhawk" there are programs
that can get in your computer.
Scarier yet, there are now viruses that exploit image files, such as JPEGs, says Arian Evans, senior security engineer for Fishnet Security. You don't even have to click on anything; simply by viewing the page with the image your computer can be infected and taken over.
Educate yourself
Viruses aren't the only threat to the security of your machine. It's a misconception that viruses are always the reason computers stop running correctly, Slade says. Spyware and other malware (malicious software) are another huge reason computers malfunction. Spyware is a type of programming that gathers information about you and your computer for some company's marketing purposes. Spyware will sometimes install features like toolbars on your web browser or upload information from your computer, Crawford says.
Besides being intrusive, this stuff can clog up your computer and keep the programs you actually want from running correctly. And they leave the computer more vulnerable to viruses. Spyware is everywhere, but is especially prevalent on porn sites, Crawford says.
Employ protection
Everyone who owns a computer should utilize a virus protection program. And anyone affiliated with the University has access to Sophos. If you want to use another virus scan, Slade recommends F-Prot, which has free trials at www.f-prot.com.
Next, you should also use a firewall, which filters the information coming into your computer and flags suspicious programs before they run. Check out Zone Labs at
www.zonelabs.com. And you can check for spyware by using Spybot, h t t p : / / w w w . s a f e r -
networking.org/en/index.html.
You should also consider using a different Internet browser than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Evans says 95 percent of viruses target that browser and through it, Windows operating systems. He recommends using Mozilla Firefox or Opera, both of which are free.
Pay attention
But there are more everyday steps you can take to keep your information safe. E-mail is currently the most common way viruses are transmitted. Never open attachments unless you are expecting them, even from friends. "E-mail attachments are the online version of taking candy from strangers," says Allison Lopez of KU Information Services.
And when you receive URL links in an email, don't just click them. Copy and paste the link into a new browser and look at it carefully to confirm it is legitimate. Evans says.
Avoid going to sites you are unfamiliar with and be skeptical in general. You should also use your Internet options to turn off JavaScript, VBScript and ActiveX, Slade says. Those are all programs that can be avenues for viruses and spyware.
Beyond all of this, always back up important files. Burn them to CDs or invest in a USB drive.
Clearly, protecting your computer is no easy task. The unfortunate reality is that there is always a chance your computer could get infected. But by being more diligent you can alleviate much of the risk.

Godzilla returns
A Tsunami of Godzilla events flood the area, forcing the City commission to declare the week of Oct. 24-30 "Godzilla week".
By Robert Riley, Jayplay writer
Memories of watching a flickering black and white screen came flashing back. The giant monster, a man in a rubber suit, lumbered through a miniature city setting off sparkler like explosions with every step of wonton destruction. The masses scrambled to avoid certain death as they fled from the wrath of Godzilla. I loved watching those old movies, and trying to figure out what the hell those two tiny twins in the bird cage had to do with anything. I remembered pummeling a small plastic version of the fire, or energy beam, breathing beast with He-man or Voltron, whichever happened to be my favorite at the time. I was absolutely crushed watching him loose that epic battle to King Kong (as if). Years after I had packed up my Godzilla toys (well most of them) I was happy to find out from a friend that in the Japanese version, Godzilla totally kicks King Kong's ass. And once again I am forced to totally reevaluate my impression of the greatest monster ever to hit the silver screen as the footsteps of Godzilla pound the pavement of Massachusetts Street.
The Center for East Asian Studies is celebrating the 50th birthday of Godzilla, Nov. 3, with exhibits in three different museums, a guest lecture conference, and the release of the original Godzilla movie, which has never been seen by American audiences.
"That means Godzilla is eligible for membership in AARP" says Randi Hacker, outreach coordinator for the center of East Asian studies, as she passed out pamphlets for the release of the original Godzilla, or "Gojira", playing at liberty hall absolutely free of charge. She says at 12:30 p.m. on October 28th, Baby J. will be inflating a 28 ft. Godzilla on the roof of the theater. Hacker says that the original Godzilla is totally unlike the Americanized version that we are used to seeing. She says it really captures the animosity of the Japanese about the atomic bomb. James Ford Lawrence sophomore, says he has
seen most of the Godzilla movies, but until he heard about the screening at Liberty Hall he was under the impression that he had seen the original movie. Ford says he enjoyed all of the Godzilla movies he watched while growing up. Ford says that Godzilla vs. Mothra, is probably his favorite. "I can't wait to go see the original, because I think it's great that I'll be able to go see a piece of cultural history."
The American release of the film kicks off the conference on Godzilla on Oct. 29 and 30 at the Lawrence Arts Center. The biggest names in the world who study Japanese pop culture will be in attendance, says Bill Tsutsui, co-director of the center for East Asian studies, "It's the biggest Godzilla birthday celebration in the world." Tsutsui says that Godzilla's actual birthday is on Nov. 3. He says he wanted to schedule the events early so that he could participate in any events in Japan, but that we are at the heart of the celebration right here in Lawrence. Tsutsui is a truly a Godzilla expert, and has recently finished a book on the subject entitled Godzilla On My Mind. Tsutsui says the original film is a deep reflection of the dangers of the atomic weaponry that created the classic monster, but also an important reminder of the consequences of war and disregarding the environment. He has planned a book signing for Oct. 27, at the Kansas Union.
The highlight of the museum exhibits is the Pop Goes Godzilla display at the Spencer Art Museum. One of the capstones of the exhibit is "Oval sitting atop a cosmos ball" by Murakami Takashi. Produced from his studio, Hiropon Factory, this pleasantly disturbing character wears dozens of expressions as it sits on a flowered ball. The ball separates into two pieces revealing a mini-CD inside. The music on the CD is a combination of traditional Japanese music spliced with ambient sound compliments of Zakyumiko, a member of Hiropon Factory. Another striking piece is How to tell the difference
notice

between Japanese and Chinese by Roger Shimomura. The work is actually two paintings, which should be viewed as one piece. The symbolism addresses issues of war, racism, cultural misconception, stereotypes, pop culture, and diversity. Also on display at the museum is Tsutsui's personal Godzilla toy collection, which is admittedly far more impressive than mine. Another event, The Godzilla Body Parts Tour For Kids at the spencer art museum takes place Oct. 15 through Nov. 12. The show is definitely for the youth, but also the young at heart. The purpose of the free event is to identify body parts withing the museum that make up the legendary irradiated lizard.
The king of the monsters' birthday bash is not the only event of Japanese origin to hit the area. The annual Japan Festival at the Johnson County Community College took place earlier this month, along with the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Japanese and American relations. The commemoration was at 4 p.m. October 5th at Chancellor Robert Hemenway's residence. Tsutsui, who received the commendation along with co-director Elaine Gerbert from the consul general of Japan, says that the Center for East Asian Studies has received a great honor by being chosen as one of the 150 recipients across the United States. He says that the center has always focused on having strong Japanese programs throughout its 45-year history.

Adventures in toilet sitting at your favorite music venues

Rock'n bowl
From the spic-and-span, community-style bathrooms at Abe & Jakes Landing to the tiny, dank pee rooms at The Replay Lounge, the places we go – to "go," seem to mirror the patrons that frequent them. We literally got down and dirty to find out what's going on behind the stained stall doors at your favorite downtown music venues. Along the way, people dished out bizarre tales from the land of tainted linoleum. Are guys' restrooms really ten times worse than the ladies? You bet.
Photos by Ginny Weatherman
Abe & Jakes Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
We wind our way down the stairs of this giant venue to our first destination. The doors of the downstairs men's room open into a spacious, cream-colored lavatory. The floor is really sticky, but bartender Colin Elwell, explains it is the result of cleaning supplies. Plenty of clean urinals and stalls line the walls. Like Toni! Tony! Tonel!'s Feels Good, which booms out of the
speakers upstairs, this place is very clean and sterile. The women's room sports two large mirrors (hey, girls go to the bathroom to do more than just pee, you know) but otherwise is exactly the same as the men's.
The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
Bartender Chris "Miller," smiles when we ask to hang out in the bathrooms, because the men's room has gained a reputation during the years. Miller says that the conditions of that bathrooms vary during different types of shows. The men's room might not be the prettiest but it sure has character. Posters of upcoming

shows cover the walls. The two toilets are covered in stickers and missing their seats. There aren't any paper towels either, because younger kids at shows clog the toilets with paper towels and smash the toilet lids, Miller says. One of the urinals contains a cigarette butt and a handful of colored tacks – just in case. The women's room is much cleaner with cowgirl drawings adorning the four stalls. This room also houses our first taste of profound bathroom graffiti, including choice phrases on the walls and mirror such as, "I poopee here" and "Mandy is a scenester wannabe whore." Someone added underneath, "& U must B pretentious." Mandy?

Probably the classiest set of water closets in the lot, these bathrooms could be found in an upscale hotel. High ceilings and chandelier-style lighting highlight these mocha-colored rooms. "I wanted it clean enough, like at your home, that you could get down on your knees and puke."

In the most creative design on the toilet crawl, creatures from the sea cover both the women's and men's blue bathroom walls. Green, purple, orange and red fish cover the walls, as do a shark and a purple octopus, who is holding a glass of wine, a beer, a cocktail and ... a joint? Doorman Travis Fry tells us his best story of rock st debauchery at the Jazzhaus: two guys from the band Gwar were in the men's room one night when they head butted each other while relieving themselves at the urinals. Not too bad, considering the endless possibilities of things that two guys from Gwar could do in the bathroom. We were impressed — both the men's and women's rooms passed the clean test.
The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
I
Water covers the vivid red men's room floor. But is it water? It looks like water — but it smells like piss. Yes, large puddles of an unnamed liquid reflect the light in the tiny room. The members of Kiss look down from a mural in shame. Silver spray paint defaces Brad Clark's pinball-inspired mural on the other wall. A human head with a bat's body and a
satanic symbol adorn the adjacent wall. We meet a heavily pierced and tattooed plumber known as "Catfish," who claims that the suspect toilet just needs an Oring and that he will fix it over the weekend. The mural walls of the ladies room are like the inside of a Charlie's Angels pinball machine defaced with drunken graffiti reminiscent of an Internet chat room ("unicorns are pretty kickass!" and so-and-so "rulz"). The best, though, is an irate rant letter addressed to all the "Lawrence bar sluts" — in all your drunken anger, random girl, we appreciate the kind reminder to use a condom. The ladies room is cleaner than the men's, but clean enough to sleep in? Bardenter Dana Wiseman says she thought so one night when she was loaded. She wandered into the ladies room, where she crafted a makeshift pillow out of an industrial-sized roll of toilet paper and passed out. That rulz.
The last stop on the tour, the Jackpot toilets might be too new to have history but already have more character than some other entries. Unless you're already hip on this scene, you won't be able to tell which is for the gals or the fel-

las. The signs either fell off or were ripped off. The burnt-orange walls in the large bathrooms wait for the inherent taggings that The Replay, the sister bar across the street, has made famous. But even when you're the new bar on the block, it doesn't take long to get a story. Bartender Travis Pesnell says there have already been cases (yes, plural) of guys "number-twoing in the dudes' bathroom where there's no stall." And Nick Christus says one night, around 1:30 a.m., he walked into the men's room and three or four guys were standing around a large trashcan in the center of the room. Christus says he thought it was strange. The guys were just talking — but then one guy puked in the trashcan. It got stranger when the rest of the guys then continued to do the same while the others continued to talk. Congratulations, Jackpot — congratulations.
After spending all this time in bathrooms, we're, well pooped. After the Downtown Toilet Crawl 2004, we have learned some valuable things about the nature of the loo — men are usually the dirty ones who participate in bathroom depravity, and women are generally cleaner and less bizarre. But girls, watch out: women are more likely to be armed with a Sharpie and will write slanderous comments about you on the walls if you take too long to go. You can be a bathroom fairy tale, too: whether you're a lady or a gent, get out there and give yourself a reason to go down the drain in toilet bowl history.

Cocktail[s] of the week
Absolutely Fabulous
This drink was named in honor of Patty, a character on the popular British television series Absolutely Fabulous. Recently aired on Comedy Central, Absolutely Fabulous was one of the most popular comedies on the BBC in the 1990s. The show earned two British Academy Awards and two International Emmys. Commonly called "AbbFab", the show is written by Jennifer Saunders who stars as Edina, the demented public
relations guru obsessed with keeping up with the times. Patsy, played by Joanna Lumley, is Edina's best friend and a magazine editor who can't find her office and has a habit of pill-pushing and guzzling Stolichnaya vodka and Bollinger champagne.
in honor of the show, and Patsy, in particular, this "absolutely fabulous" cocktail originated in Monte's Club in London.

Its reign as island king didn't last all that long, though - Hawaii became a state in 1959 and air travel technology made for a shorter flight, bringing thousands of tourists to the new territory. In a rush to serve them all and increase profits, Hawaiian restaurants used cheaper ingredients and substituted local pineapple juice for fresh lime juice, a move that Trader Vic said aggravated his ulcer. Today, most Mai Tais on the mainland have abandoned fresh ingredients and are too sweet for Mai tauris. A few of Trader Vic's original rec-

California restaurateur Vic Bergeron (known to most as the famous Trader Vic) invented the drink at his Oakland restaurant in 1944, which he served to two Tahitian friends in town that evening. One took a sip and said, "Mai tara roa e," Tahitian slang for "out of this world,"

Pour only 80 proof J. Wray & Nephew
Add juice from half a fresh lime, some orange curacao, a dash of rock candy syrup and a dolop of French orgeat. Shake vigorously and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
And here's a recipe that's probably more practical, ulcer problems and all:
Mai Tai
1 oz dark rum
2 oz orange cauracao
3 oz crème de noyaux
4 oz fresh lime juice
Shake with ice, garnish with an orange and a cherry and serve. You can also blend it for a frozen drink.

Coal Creek Library started in the homes of Douglas County abolitionists. In 1859, abolitionists who knew John Brown started the library to discuss the era's political issues. The one-room library was built 100 years ago.

Travel the forgotten history of the Underground Railroad in Lawrence
Rebels with a cause
Photos by John Tran
By Samia Khan, Jayplaywriter
One winter night in 1859, John Doy leaves his home, his wife and children near present-day Kasold Drive and Peterson Road with a group of 13 African-American freemen. They travel in two wagons on a north-bound path to safety and liberty.
On the same night, John Brown, a famous abolitionist, who was later martyred for the cause, and an acquaintance of Doy, leaves from a separate Underground Railroad station in Lawrence. He escorts a dozen runaway slaves. Outside Lawrence, a group of pro-slave Missourians misses Brown's traveling party but capture Doy.
Doy is held in a Missouri jail until a gang of 10 abolitionists help him escape from prison. Tricking the jail keeper into believing they had a dangerous horse-thief who needed to be held overnight, the men ambush the guard at gunpoint and rescue Doy.
A three-gun salute welcomes Doy and the group of men back to Lawrence. Doy's rescuers became known as the "Immortal Ten." The news was covered nationally in newspapers. The men and Doy pose for a
picture when they returned, bedraggled with sporting knives, pistols, unkempt beards and large mismatched hats — all with the same earnestly formidable look of purpose.
The Jayhawker abolitionists founded Lawrence for freedom. The Underground Railroad became the lifeline for this struggle to subvert the injustice of slavery and the efforts of the Missouri Border Ruffians. The Underground Railroad was a covert network of people and places, organized by abolitionists to help
It's a history that Tolly Wildcat and Judy Sweets agree most residents aren't fully aware of.

Underground Railroad terms
African Americans reach escape slavery in the North or in Canada. Somewhere between 300 to 1,000 freedom-seekers traveled north on the Underground Railroad through Douglas County, helped by men and women who risked their lives. More than a dozen Underground Railroad sites have been documented in Douglas County with a handful in Lawrence.
Passengers—(freedom seekers) Fugitive slaves or anyone traveling north in search of freedom
Station house, barn, smokehouse etc. where escaping slaves could find refuge.
Conductor—person who led the slaves to the next station on the Underground Railroad
Station Master—person who had a safehouse where the fugitive slave stayed temporarily or until it was safe to move.

Railroad Association of Douglas County Kansas and a former KU professor of English and western civilization. Sweets is vice president of the association and a Lawrence historian. Both actively research abolitionist history in Lawrence and give Underground Railroad tours. Their goal is to honor those who helped found Lawrence
on freedom by learning the abolitionists' history. "We know them better than our own relatives," Sweets says without hesitation. Wildcat and Sweets recognize these men and women risked everything to settle a town for an ideal, not for land.
Aligning with Freedom
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 left
the state's fate up to the settlers to decide. Settlers would vote whether Kansas would be a free or a slave state. Hearing this news, hundreds of abolitionists from the East began moving to Kansas in an
effort to steer Kansas to freedom. Lawrence became the unofficial headquarters of the abolitionist movement. But pro-s slave Missourians would not cede to the abolitionist efforts. Missourians illegally voted in Kansas elections and raided abolitionist homes and homes of anyone
The Narrative of John Doy
Doy ends his narrative with, "Herel may fittingly close my narrative, vouching for the absolute truth of every word I have written, and asking my fellow citizens of these United States to ponder it well and to answer to their own consciences, as they must to the God of Justice, if such an enormities as I have related shall continue to be practiced — if such sufferings as I have depleted shall continue to be inflicted on the helpless and the unoffending — in this our common country, which should be truly, "The land of the free and the home of the brave."

harboring runaway slaves. In the years leading up to the Civil War, the battles between Kansas Jayhawkers and Missouri Border Ruffians became the warm-
up to the clash between North and South. People in the East were opening their newspapers every day to find out what was happening in Kansas, Wildcat says.
Underground Railroad songs
These spirituals were often used to signal the next move to the conductors and passengers en route. The drinking gourd refers to the Big Dipper and the North Star.

hn Doy of Iain and Mark Volwhile selling runaways back into slavery and plotting the destruction of the Kansas abolitionist movement. Many of the Jayhawkers had no idea Quantrill was one of the bad guys, Sweets says. There were secret meetings and coded handshakes and signals to know who was on your side. "It kind of reminds you of a gang almost," Wildcat says. "Except they did it for a good cause."
The Jayhawkers were the trusted allies of anyone who sought freedom from a life of servitude. Freed African Americans were also at risk of capture. These were dangerous times and trust was hard to come by. Even William Quantrill, the man who massacred and burned Lawrence to the ground in 1863, acted as a double agent. He associated with the Jayhawkers
Runaways came to Lawrence abolitionists seeking help. But there were also abolitionists who snuck into Missouri and shuttled them to safety at night. Jayhawkers would pose as peddlers and other false pretenses to conspire with slaves to escape. The slaves knew Lawrence must be a place to go because their masters hated it. The best advertisement was the slaves' own masters angrily discussing the free town of Lawrence.
A Noble Rebellion
"The Underground Railroad is a celebration of people who break the law, but it was also symbolic of the American love of freedom," says Paul Finkelman, a Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tulsa. Finkelman is a historian and the author of His Soul Goes Marching On: Responses to John Brown and the Harpers Ferry Raid. Lawrence was the center of the freedom fight in Kansas, but distinct from the Underground Railroad hubs in the East. Unlike New York, where a slave could hop a boat to Canada, there was nowhere to go from Lawrence. Lawrence was a place where slaves had to be defended and protected and where abolitionists were taking greater risks and using greater force, Finkelman says.
The first recorded incident of a runaway slave on the Underground Railroad to Lawrence was in March of 1855. She was hidden in a house two doors down from the Eldfridge Hotel. She was in danger of being captured, so abolitionists told her to walk toward Topeka. Unfortunately, she was found and returned to her master.
There was little time to worry about eating or sleeping while protecting lives and homes from Missouri Border Ruffians. Relief efforts from the East barely helped abolitionists who were sacrificing everything for the cause. Doy lost one child, probably because of malnutrition from a diet of nothing more than green corn and
squash, Sweets and Wildcat say.
Lawrence was in the middle of several pro-slave strongholds, says Mark Volmut, the Underground Railroad Association's historian. Pro-slave Missourians wanted to see Lawrence wiped off the map. "It sat here like a little jewel waiting to be plucked," Volmut says.
Saving the history
The Underground Railroad Association started in Lawrence in 1999, with meetings and speakers centered on education and discovery. Now, Wildcat says, the group has turned its focus to site preservation. Wildcat and Sweets agree the explosion in Lawrence development is a major problem in finding, preserving and studying historical sites in Lawrence. Volmut, who recently re-enrolled at the University, is finishing his undergraduate degree in archaeology. He also edited and re-published John Doy's personal writing, The Narrative of John Doy of Lawrence, Kansas, "A Plain and Unvarnished Tale." Volmut says with the rich history waiting to be uncovered in Lawrence, the University needs a historical archaeology program or some sort of active involvement in preserving Underground Railroad history.
Tours
The Underground Railroad Association gives guided tours of Douglas county Underground Railroad sites. Wildcat and Sweets organize approximately ten tours per year for the association. Some are for local events such as the Sequicentennial and some are custom tours for private groups.
The association wants help and grants in creating an Underground Railroad museum and having archaeologists study old sites before development encroaches on them. Part of the process is applying to put sites on the National Park Service's National Underground Railroad Network To Freedom. Applications are reviewed by a committee in Washington, D.C., and after a site is approved it is eligible for grants. Before the association applied for Lawrence sites, Kansas wasn't even on the National Park Service's map of railroad sites. Now the homesite ruins of Lawrence abolitionist John Doy are on the network. And near the discovered site, a street has been renamed Dr. John Doy Court.
Living in the past
In the middle of the night a messenger on a panting, mud-soaked horse arrived at Doy's house, calling upon him to help defend Osawatomie against a group of Missourians. As Doy writes in his narrative, tears streamed down his wife's face as she wondered if she would ever see him

or their eldest son again. Trying to gather her composure she says, "But if the holy cause of liberty demands our blood, give it freely, and we will trust in the Providence that feeds the sparrows."
The Robert Miller house at 19th and Haskell streets is now the residence of Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality. The foundation of a smokehouse where the Millers hid runaway slaves is still on the property.
Just north of Sixth Street, off of Peterson Road, an 11-year-old boy found what looked like a pile of wood, rubble and a
well. The discovery in the summer of 2000 soon proved to be the ruins of the Doy homestead. John Doy emigrated from New England to help the cause of freedom in Kansas. He helped establish Lawrence and transport slaves north to Iowa and on to Canada.
The only way to relate to a rebel is to live like one. And to live the stories of these abolitionists as best we can today means physically transporting ourselves and our minds to the awrence of 1855.
Whitman property
A few blocks down Peterson Road from Doy's property, is a development of multimillion dollar homes. The land that these houses sit on was once the homestead of E.B. Whitman. It was here that John Brown recruited men for Harper's Ferry—the raid for ammunition that resulted in his capture and eventual execution. On a hill where families now live, Whitman kept watch to signal others of attacking Border Ruffians.
The Miller House, 19 $^{\mathrm{th}}$ and Haskell Streets
One of the former Underground Railroad stations in Lawrence is now the home of Dennis Dailey, professor of human sexuality. The house belonged to Robert Miller, a South Carolinian who left the South because of his anti-slavery views. The Millers hid runaway slaves in a smokehouse behind their home, the foundation of which still exists on the property.
When the Dailys bought the house 20 years ago, they knew it was associated with the Underground Railroad. Over the last two decades, hundreds of groups,

especially from local schools, have visited their home. On some days, unannounced visitors who saw the house listed in a tour guide will stop by. Dailey says he's happy to share his home and stories of freedom with the town and visitors. "You can't help but be touched by the history," he says. Especially when he's sitting outside on a quiet night, Dailey thinks about the people who passed through more than 100 years ago, hiding from those who denied them their freedom.
Kansas Riverfront
Runaway slaves, searching for deliverance from living as a master's chattel, unloaded their burden to abolitionists where Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 East $6^{\text{th}}$ Street, stands today. On the Kansas River in the 1850s and '60s, residents used a ferry to cross the water instead of a bridge. Travel-weary runaway slaves used the ferry to cross into Lawrence, hoping to find a freedom-supporter who could take them to the home of a Jayhawker's Underground Railroad station. But often the slaves were under the watchful eye of William Quantrill and his men. A slave

arrived in Lawrence and unwittingly asked Quantrill to take him to the home of Jim Lane, an abolitionist and the first senator of Kansas. Instead Quantrill sold the freedom-seeker back into slavery and collected $500.
Grover's Barn, Fire Station No.4
Joel Grover and his family kept runaway slaves hidden in their barn, what is now 2819 Stonebarn Terr. In the winter of 1859, John Brown brought 11 runaway slaves and a newborn baby to the barn. On the same 1859 night that Doy was caught and imprisoned for transporting slaves, Brown left from Grover's Barn with these 11 runaways. It would be his last trip from Grover's Barn before he was captured at Harper's Ferry. Now Grover's Barn is Fire Station No. 4 off Clinton Parkway, with the original stone barn walls from the 1850s.
Vinland and Coal Creek
What it lacks in size, Vinland more than makes up for in history. In the 1850s, several active abolitionists had homesteads near Vinland. Located between Baldwin and Lawrence, Vinland is a town that seems to be no more than a handful of houses, a church and a school. The school's sign may be the starkest indicator of Vinland's size. Instead of posting scores
or holidays, the sign reads "An expert is anyone from out of town."
Down the road from the school is Vinland Cemetery, where abolitionist Reverend Charles Lovejoy and his wife Julia are buried. Julia Lovejoy often wrote back east to tell them of the struggles in Lawrence. "Freedom and slavery were locked in a deadly embrace," she wrote.
The cemetery is a small patch of land marked by unadorned white arch. Though some of the grave markers are new, many are so worn that there is nothing left to read. They are lonely pieces of dulled stone rising up from the grass just as they did 100 years ago.
Further past the cemetery and the school is Coal Creek Library. In a one-roomed building are hun

The marker at Signal Oak, near Baldwin, reads, "At this site, towering above the rest of the trees, stood a stately old white oak.

Annie helped start the Coal Creek Library in 1859 while her brother, Silas, was away attempting to rescue John Brown after his raid on Harper's Ferry. Before the library was built 100 years ago, people met in each other's homes to discuss books and abolitionist issues.
Down another gravel road from Coal Creek Library, on the outskirts of Baldwin, is Signal Oak. On this hill, an old white oak tree once stood, towering above the other trees. From this tree, messengers hung a lantern to warn settlers that slave raiders were coming. Abolitionists

hang another lantern to warn settlers a few miles further near Mount Oread.
After years of researching Underground Railroad history in Douglas County, Wildcat and Sweets see the Lawrence of 1855, before every individual had the freedom to walk through the streets without hiding behind trees, in creek beds, in covered wagons and under trap doors of wooden floors. "We stay fairly obsessed with this stuff," Wildcat says.
Try standing on Signal Oak and live it yourself. Don't look at the distant silhouette of Fraser Hall or the dorms on Daisy Hill, sitting miles away like Monopoly pieces in front of you. Instead see Mount Oread 150 years ago when there was only a warning lantern to spark the cry for liberty; see the history of a college mascot with an ideological backbone. And remember the story of a runaway slave named Napoleon Simpson, who was shot to death by Border Ruffians at a safehouse near Lone Star. While Simpson was struggling for his last breaths, the abolitionist who had sheltered him asked if there was anything they could do for him. Simpson responded with his last words, "Fight. Fight Hard!"
There is your Border War.

Q a
[Animal love is the perfect drug.]
Is it true that breast implants are going out of style?
—Molly, Sophomore
Chris: You could say that. You could also say I have no idea what I'm talking about, because I don't. But I think the Pam Anderson-esque big-boobied ladies of the '90s are not nearly as popular as the well-proportioned girl-next-door women of the 21st Century. I mean, c'mon, we're talking about the future! Smaller Boobs 2004!
Jessi: My mom recently informed me that the big-butted/wide-hipped bodies (joy to all the ghetto bootays of the world!) are coming back into "style." I happen to think this whole "style" of bodies is a load of hoopla. The truth is masking what you've been blessed with is never going to be "in style," so I recommend we all just work with what we've got.
Q
I've been single for almost two years and I think it's because I don't date girls who don't smoke pot. Should I try to change my preferences or hold out for the perfect girl?
Matt, Senior
a
Jessi: Maybe you should try not smoking pot and perhaps more people will begin to look like "the perfect girl" to you. Meanwhile, I have a problem not wanting to date guys who don't have big noses ... See how silly I sound? Don't judge a person on something as superficial as a single trait. Take a look at the big picture (or booty).
Chris: If your "dream girl" is a hot little pot-smokin' hippie, you shouldn't settle for anything less. But do analyze why you prefer your ladies to smoke dope. If the bigger issue is her tolerance of your habit, consider expanding your criteria to include girls that are open-minded, but pass on grass.
Q
My friends and I downloaded a bestiality porn and were disgusted and fascinated at the same time. Is it normal to be intrigued by that?
Katherine, Senior
a
Jessi: It's normal to be intrigued by anything you're unfamiliar with, so don't limit yourself too much. I'm not saying you should go out tonight and boo a cow because watching humans bang animals is different than actually banging animals yourself. If you're disgusted, chances are you're not going to get off on the act in reality.
Got a burning question? E-mail us at bitch@kansan.com.
Chris: If I was driving down a windy, country road and happened to see an attractive girl, possibly a farmer's daughter, in the distance, making sweet love with a horse, I'd probably pay attention. Would I pull over to call all of my friends? Yes. Would I take as many pictures as possible? Yes. But would I partake in the action? No, and neither should you.

Interpol Antics
Certain music makes you want to do certain things. While listening to Neil Young, going camping and wearing flannel seem like a great idea. Kraftwerk makes you want to become a robot, or a computer at the very least. While these are powerful feelings, they can be taken further, and cinema has shown us this. In the movie Strange Days people use illegal virtual reality masks that make them actually feel what they are seeing. I believe Interpol saw this movie and sought to record an album (Antics) based on this principle. The difference however, is in the medium Strange Days employed virtual reality masks; Interpol makes virtual.reality music. For example, on "Length of Love" you actually feel like you are wearing a three-piece suit while driving a fast car slowly through a big city at midnight. In the rain. Drinking Grey Goose Martinis. And smoking. It's a strange and powerful thing.
So how do they do it? Why, with rock-
'n'roll of course. Riffs and rhythms. In fact, Antics contains one of the most rock'n'roll lyrics of all time, one that describes the album perfectly. On "Slow Hands", Paul Banks and his signature clammy delivery assert that, "You make me want to pick up a guitar / And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you." Guitar and love. It's simple and perfect. Interpol knows this.
Everything that was perfect about Interpol's debut album, Turn On The Bright Lights, is retained on Antics, though more muscular. The fastest pulse of bassist Carlos D. packs more punch, the guitars have greater levity and the drums more bombast. Tracks like "Evil," "Narc" and "C'mere" in addition to having great names are archetypal dark pop: infectious and dangerous. This sophomore album wasn't supposed to live up to its predecessor. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. It's hard to compare flawless albums.

Jayplay movie critic Stephen Shupe interviews co-creator of South Park and Team America: World Police.
In the months after Sept. 11, Letterman and Leno looked like they were walking
through minefields. Jon Stewart, in his first Daily Show appearance following the attacks, looked into the camera and wept. Only Trey Parker and Matt Stone saw the absurdity peaking through the solemn shroud of our national mourning. In the first
"I FEEL LIKE I'M HIGH,
LIKE I'M ON SOME KIND
OF WEIRD MORPHINE
DRUG IN THE HOSPITAL
BEGAUSE I'M JUST SO
HAPPY WE GOT THIS
MOVIE DONE"
Good. So what inspired you to make a puppet movie?
episode of South Park that fall, Stan's mom sits day and night watching round-the-clock cable news coverage, the boys are forced to wear gas masks to school, and Osama Bin Laden shows up as an Elmer Fudd-like comic foil to Cartman's Bugs Bunny. It was a brilliant coup de grace, and it proved that something, at long last, hadn't changed.
Now, three years later, Parker and Stone have returned to the big screen with Team America: World Police, a film populated entirely by marionettes that takes on all comers in the war on terror. The dou's previous theatrical effort, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, was a vulgar masterpiece. Once again, the filmmakers' message seems to be that, in an uncertain world, all we can do is keep laughing.
How's it going today Matt?
Pretty good, how are you doing?
It came from watching Thunderbirds on TV. Trey and I were watchin this show a few years ago and it really had such an interesting feel. It's one of those things that they never intended to be funny but now is really funny. So it kind of came from
watching this show and then combining that with wanting to make fun of big Hollywood movies.
What are your feelings about the MPAA ratings battle over Team America's puppet-on-puppet sex scene?
I think the MPAA is a pretty broken organization. I don't think it serves artists very well and I don't think it serves parents very well. Our puppets are not even anatomically correct! They're like Ken and Barbie dolls, and we put them in low positions and rubbed them together. The MPAA had a problem with some of the positions we picked, but it really is one of the most innocuous things in the movie.
Are you and Trey political?
Truthfully, I think Trey and I are like most people; we're kind of down the middle with our political affiliation. With the movie, we tried really hard not to make it bend one way
or the other. In these last three years, most of us have been somewhat conflicted between just being proud to be an American and sometimes being ashamed. It's about those feelings, not about the politics that come out of those feelings.
How much longer do you see South Park playing?
It will slow down when Trey and I slow down, but that probably won't be for a couple, three or four years. I don't think I'll be doing it when I'm 60, but a couple, three or four more years, yes.
One of the most popular episodes from last season was The Passion of the Jew, where Kyle goes to see The Passion of the Christ and Cartman dresses up like Hitler.
That was one of our least favorite episodes last season. We talked so much about what we wanted to say on that episode and we never quite focused it, but there was just a sheer punk rock, fuckeverybody kind of attitude about this show that think people really responded to. The episodes that Trey and I like are always the ones that other people don't like.
Is there another movie in the works?
No, not right now. In fact, I think we've kind of sworn them off after this. This puppet movie almost killed us.
Are there any plans for a full-length
DVDA (Double Vaginal, Double Anal) album?
No, which is bullshit by the way because we would love to do one.
What's holding you back?
Our biggest regret of this whole thing is that we came to L.A. to be in a band and we got sidetracked by this stupid fucking television thing. On this movie, our time was so compressed. There's like six or seven songs in there and usually that would be our favorite part of the whole process, where we would go fuck around and play music. But we just literally did not have time, so we had to have other people do the recordings. They are still Trey's compositions and he sung them, but we literally just did not have time to go in and track our own guitar tracks and drum tracks. That was kind of a bummer and we won't do that again. But we should do a full-length DVDA album. That's what we should do.
I've always wondered what this experience is like when you finally finish a movie and people are seeing it for the first time.
We're just really tired right now because it was like round-the-clock editing to get this thing in theaters. I feel like I'm high, like I'm on some kind of weird morphine drug in the hospital because I'm just so happy we got this movie done.
Team America: World Police (☆☆1/2)
R, 98 minutes, South Wind 12
ACTION PICTURES
Blind patriotism gets a surprise celebrity endorsement in Team America: World Police, the new all-marionette satire from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Comedy Central's resident bad boys zero on Jerry Bruckheimer
movies and lefty Hollywood types as they take the idea of America policing the world to its logical extreme.
Team America is struggling in the age of jihad, when search-and-destroy missions result in retaliatory terror attacks. The team recruits a Broadway star named Gary (voiced by director Parker) to spy on a terror cell because he's "a double major in the theater and world languages."
Team America was hastily assembled over a six-month period, and at times the film lacks the rhythm and controlled anarchy of inspired satire. (For perfect puppet madness, see Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles.) It often plays like a straight recreation of Bruckheimer's overblown melodramas. Of course, this is part of the joke, but the laughs emerge from a fundamentally flawed concept - Bruckheimer movies (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) already border on self-parody.
The best scenes feature Kim Jong-il as a lonely
arch-villain who feeds Hans Blix to his pet shark to avoid weapons inspections. He gets to sing one of the film's outrageous musical numbers, some of which match in vulgarity and sublimity the songs featured throughout South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
Team America practically teases you to be offended, to lose patience with its hip political incorrectness. Near the end, Gary gives a hysterical speech in support of the American war effort, the monologue seems intended to illustrate the filmmakers' point of view. For all of its detached mockery, Team America ends up demonizing "the enemy" in a way that recalls the old Warner Bros. cartoons of World War II. Call it post-9/11 propaganda for the preppie-stoner crowd.

A film about a Christian high school has to walk a fine line between entertaining enough and sacrilegious. Saved! teeters the line but usually stays in a pure state of fun. The young actors Malone, Moore, Macaulay Culkin and Patrick Fugit seem to
be having a lot of fun, which is evident in the film but confirmed in the extras. Commentary by Moore and Malone provides humorous insight on the film. Other extras include the standard bloopers, featurette, deleted scenes, trailer and a Saved! Revelations feature that sheds some light on certain scenes.
Saved! is definitely not your
average high school comedy. In fact it comes as a welcome release from the usual fare. You could say it was sent from (insert heavenly pun here).

Shall We Dance? ( )
1 hour 35 minutes
Shall We Dance? is an aw shucks movie.
The characters go through the movie with goofy grins and puppy dog eyes, and when they get into trouble we go "aw shucks, that's too bad." The real purpose is to get us to smile as much as possible, and the movie succeeds—most of the time.
Just like in his last movie, Chicago, Richard Gere plays a dancing lawyer. He plays John Clark, a 40-something lawyer

going through a mid-life crises of some sort. On his L-train rides home every night he notices a sign for a dancing hall and a beautiful yet solemn-faced woman staring out the window at him. John's curiosity gets the better of him and he ventures into the hall and discovers that, yes, it offers dancing lessons and, yes, the solemn-faced woman works there. With two other guys, John signs up for beginner's ballroom dancing lessons, and he soon discovers that he has a real passion for the
dance. The solemn-faced woman he saw in the window is Pauline (Jennifer Lopez), one of the instructors at the dancing
school, who fears that John is just taking lessons because he has a crush on her.
The movie seems to tease us with conflict. John's wife, Beverly (Susan Sarandon), first suspects John of cheating on her when he starts coming home late with the smell of perfume on him and excuses about where he was. But once Beverly hires a couple of private eyes, she quickly learns that, no, John is
not cheating on her. He is just taking dance lessons and too ashamed to tell he about it.
Shall We Dance? is filled with some genuinely sweet moments, and all of the characters are likable, so it is hard to hate it. There is no villain, save for bad tempo and tripping feet. Gere and Sarandon are perfectly cast, and Lopez taps her In Living Color Fly Girl days and, along with Gere, is an impressive and natural-looking dancer. This movie is fluff, but likable fluff.

Donkey Konga
Nintendo's resident monkey has returned. This time he's not riding rhinos, swimming through the sea, or laying waste to evil crocodiles. He's on the Nintendo Gamecube laying down bongo beats. Donkey Konga is a crazy fast drumming game.
Donkey Konga is a DancelDancelRevolution-esque game. You select different songs and you follow the bongo note and hit them at corresponding times. The game itself includes a set of bongos to play, but it can be played with the Gamecube controller as well.
The songs difficulties are gauged by the amounts of Bongos it has at the top-right corner of the song card. Some famous songs include "We Will Rock You" and few Nintendo themes such as The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon.
The game can support up to four-players and has many modes of playing. One example is where you memorize the notes from a song you've played in the game.
Donkey Kongacan be a fun game to play with lots of people and is a real challenge. After a few songs I found my hands aching from all the times I slammed them on the drum and clapped my hands. The notes stream by very fast, and when playing with more than one person they aren't the same for each player. It's actually like throwing a Bongo concert.
Grade: Cyou complete earns money that you can use to buy better weapons, or items from the general store that serve little purpose, unless you like to unlock different outfits for your characters and other useless things like that. Most missions use the "kill a bunch of underlings while running around the level completing varied objectives and ending it all with a boss battle" formula. But because each level is fairly different and has some truly unique boss battles, this rarely gets boring. Another little spice in the action is the slow-motion quick draw in which you have a limited amount of time to aim your shots before time goes back to normal. Well-placed shots will instantly kill your foe. If you do not kill them right away, you will have to battle in real time.
Chris Moore
Red Dead Revolver
Taking a departure from its Grand Theft Auto series, Rockstar Games created a shooter set in the Old West. Red Dead Revolver for the PlayStation2 gives gamers a chance to do the very thing that they've always wanted to do: kill psychotic circu midgets and equally freakish boss characters.
The main character is a silent bounty hunter looking to make his fortune in the new world. Before each mission you are given the opportunity to purchase weaponry and upgrade or repair current weaponry. There are many different guns to choose from, including various pistols, shotguns and rifles with their specific uses. A shotgun delivers a powerful blast but has a slow reload time compared to a repeating rifle with seven rounds. Needless to say, weapon choice can spell life or death in any given mission.
After you've made your weapon choice you head down to the Sheriff's Department to select a mission. Each mission
I really enjoyed this game. It had tight control, an interesting story line, and was a very good shooter overall.

From bland to blonde and back again By Jennifer Voldness, Jayplaywriter
I was about to be transformed. The colorist was grinning from ear to ear. "You look fantastic," she told me. I couldn't wait any longer. She spun me around. I had closed my eyes so tightly in anticipation of
this moment I almost forgot to open them. But I did.
Although my expectations were likely too high, I had hoped to emerge from the chair a beautiful blonde swan. Instead, I was still an ugly duckling with subtle, caramel-streaked feathers.
I can trace my blonde longing all the way back to my earliest memories of playing make-believe—specifically, playing princesses. Because I was plagued with mahogany-colored hair, my blonde friends always
Pooja

Jayplay writer
stuck me with Snow White. They, however,
had their pick of Sleeping Beauty (by far the
prettiest of the princesses), Cinderella and
Rapunzel. Not to knock Snow White, but
besides her annoying voice, she's clearly
the least attractive.
And then I had my mother as a point of reference. To me, she was the epitome of blonde beauty. Her hair was not naturally light, but hair can be like breasts; most of
the time fake looks a heck of a lot better than natural. She knew I had always wanted to dye my hair and told me to wait for a while because, "once you start you can never stop." But I didn't care. I couldn't
wait to be blonde. I wanted to be someone else. Middle school only added to my longing. My best friends were the prettiest girls in the school and most were blondes. The boys swarmed around them like bees. I wasn't so appealing. The climax of my blonde obsession came at the end of eighth grade when my best friend and I had a crush on the
media and I had a crust on the same boy. She had always been the "it" girl at the lunch table and I wanted so badly to be noticed just once. When my dreamboat called
me one Tuesday night, I was overjoyed. Right when I was sure he was going to ask me out, he dropped the bomb: did I think my friend would go out with him? My 14-year-old heart broke.
By ninth grade I was ready to be blonde. Since I was only 15, my mother and I agreed that I would get a few highlights at first. All I could think about was how I was going to look like Grace Kelly. Obviously
that didn't happen. Though disappointed, my resolve was strong. I waited a few months and returned to the chair. This time I wanted a full highlight—none of this partial business. I was more pleased with the result this time. I still had some brown left in my hair, but it was a vast improvement to my earlier looks.
I was surprised at the reaction my new tint aroused. My girlfriends, although complementary, made a point to tell me how much they had liked my natural color. I ignored their feedback. Guys barely noticed a change — something I would come to regard later as their lack of aesthetic observational skills but at the time, I was hurt and confused. During high school my hair got lighter but things pretty much stayed as they always had. Most boys looked past me to see who the gorgeous blonde behind me was, and the ones who did like me weren't the right ones.
When I got to college I knew it would be impossible to keep up my $130 bi-monthly highlighting regimen so I decided to go back to my roots. I went to the salon at the start of my freshman year and had my colorist dye me back to normal. When I looked in the mirror, I barely recognized myself. I felt ugly and plain again.
College was different than I anticipated. I found out there are hoards of guys who will talk to just about any girl, and I actually began to get attention from the guys I liked. I made friends with a new group of beautiful blonde girls — and brunettes and redheads as well. I fell in love with school, the connections I was making and the experiences I was having. Somewhere in the course of my first semester of higher education, I forgot to hate how I looked. In fact, I actually started to appreciate my dark hair. For one thing, my normal color actually matched my eyebrows and I definitely didn't miss the high maintenance of being blonde.
Since my freshman year, I have occasionally lightened my hair during a holiday break or the summer, but never with the same desperate longing to be someone else. It took me a long time to realize that it wasn't my friends' hair color that got them noticed — it was their confidence. I may not have complete self-assurance, but I'm learning. I may never be Sleeping Beauty, but I can see now that Snow White isn't so bad.

Making reflections on a century that is not even five years old may seem impatient, but the 21st century has already brought exciting moments for the he University of Kansas Athletics Department. Call it the beginning of the crimson and blue

millennium or just a few steps in the right direction, but Jayhawk fans have much to cheer about in this young century.
With new leaders at the helm of the most prominent athletic programs, Kansas sports have seen an allaround revival of excitement and success. Though teams have felt their own share of heartbreak thus far, the century has had poignant moments. So far, here are the best:
10. Border War Beating: The Big 12 Conference 2003 football season opener brought sweet triumph to Memorial Stadium and goal-posts to Potter Lake. The 35-14 victory over No. 23 Missouri was especially satisfying, because one year earlier Tiger players helped
tear down the goalposts in Columbia, Mo., after beating a Jayhawk team that won only two games the whole season.
9. Lew Locked In: In an expensive move by the University, Lew Perkins is made athletic director in June 2003. During his tenure, the department has seen changes both popular and unpopular. The only hope is that football bowl games outnumber changes made to student ticket policy.
8. Tailgating Returns: The combination of drinking, college students and football is a successful trio. In August 2003 the administration decided to allow pregame alcohol drinking in designated areas near Memorial Stadium, and the decision produced more enthusiastic and entertaining fans.
7. New Faces: Kansas has recently received a major facelift with the addition of three big-time coaches. First, football coach Mark Mangino's hiring in December 2001 and then the additions of men's basketball coach Bill Self in 2003 and women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson in 2004.
6. Tangerine, Tangerine: Snapping an eight-year post-season drought, the football team earned its sixth and bowl-qualifying victory from Iowa State to close the 2003 season. With a 6-6 record, the Jayhawks went to Orlando, Fla., for the Tangerine Bowl. The result, however, was painful.
5. Kansas Kingpins: April 2004 brought Jayhawk sports fans something March Madness could not: a national title. In its first national championship since 1963, the Kansas bowling team knocked off Saginaw Valley State in the IBC finals, 2-1.
4. Final Four, Part One: The
2001-2002 men's basketball team entered the Big Dance with high expectations. After ripping through the regular season, its chances to win it all seemed as good as any team. After an Elite Eight victory against Oregon, 104-86, the Jayhawks eventually bowed out in the national semifinal, losing to Maryland, 88-97.
3. All Falls Down: An 11-game losing streak to Kansas State? Fallen. North and south goalposts at Memorial Stadium? Down. Two weeks ago, the 31-28 victory against the Wildcats produced joy in Lawrence, despair in Manhattan and a game for the ages.
2. Final Four, Part Two: After another year of growth, the 2002-2003 Kansas men's basketball team made a return trip to the Final Four. This time, the Jayhawks destroyed
Marquette 94-61 in the national semifinal, which was the fourth largest Final Four victory in history. Two days later, Syracuse delivered a painful loss that still stings the heart of any lajwhay fan.
1. Perfection: The 2001-2002
men's basketball team recorded the first 16-0 season in Big 12 Conference history, and few feats are more impressive. By running the table while playing in one of the toughest leagues in the country, the Jayhawks set expectations

New drinking age group's goal
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas Political Activist Club doesn't think it is fair that 18-year-olds can vote but can't sit at a counter in a bar and have an alcoholic beverage. According to law, you must be 21 to do so, but that's a law this group wants to change.
PUNISHMENTS FOR UNDERAGE DRINKING
The club's goal is to get the drinking age lowered to 18.
The club will begin lobbying the Legislature in January 2005 but has already spoken with staff members for U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) and Ralph Nader, Reform Party presidential candidate.
Lowering the drinking age is not about going out and getting plastered, but about a balance in the adult responsibilities given to us, said Krystal Werth,
Here are facts and consequences for underage drinking in Lawrence:
A minor is anyone below the age of 21.
An arrest can be made and a citation issued simply for a minor possessing an alcoholic bever-
A minor can be charged for providing alcohol to other minors.
A minor can be issued a citation for possession of alcoholic beverages on private property.
Legal consequences:
If convicted for transporting an
Wichita sophomore and vice president of the group.
If an 18-year-old can be given the responsibilities of an adult — including voting, marriage and military service —
open container of alcohol, a minor can be sentenced to a sixmonth jail sentence and fined up to $200. The judge can suspend your driver's license on the second conviction.
If convicted for possessing, purchasing or consuming alcohol, a minor can spend up to 30 days in jail and be fined $300 to $500. The minor is also required to perform up to 40 hours of community service, attend an alcohol education program and his or her license will be suspended for 30 days.

then he should be able to have a drink,
Werth, 19, said.
Right now people younger than 21 face legal punishments for drinking underage, but that doesn't keep some
from drinking.
Werth said it was not really a matter of whether people were drinking, was a matter of whether that person was legally or illegally drinking.
The drinking age was changed from 18 to 19 on July 1, 1985. The next year, the age was raised to 20, and in 1987 it increased to 21. Before 1985, 18-year-olds could only drink 3.2 percent alcohol.
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 required all states to raise the minimum age to 21 for the purchase and public possession of alcohol.
States that do comply with the Act face a reduction in federal highway and transportation funding.
More than likely, the proposal for lowering the drinking age would go

Buses to test biodiesel fuel
Transportation Board preparing for test run before Thanksgiving
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Campus may smell faintly of doughnuts or french fries once biodiesel fuel testing for University busses begins, according to the Kansas Soybean Association.
Tim Akright, KU on Wheels president and University of Kansas Student Senate transportation board coordinator, said the board was aiming for one Jayhawk Express bus to test biodiesel fuel before Thanksgiving Break.
However, he said he didn't think campus would smell like Krispie Kremes.
Some kinks still need to be workeo out before the trial run, which could last one or two weeks. can begin.
The board needs to discuss issues such as how to deal with complaints, where to store the biodiesel fuel, what state regulations exist for biodiesel fuel and what standard emissions the board will aim for.
The cost has not been a factor so far, said Akhright, Overland Park senior. He said biodiesel fuel costs about 25 cents more per gallon than regular diesel fuel.

a budget of $1.6 million per year and uses 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year.
The trial run will help the board work through its concerns about biodiesel fuel. Akright said.
Biodiesel fuel may jell in extremely low winter temperatures, and buses may lose power more easily in the winter while using biodiesel fuel.
"We don't want to get to the point where a bus could fail or not get up a bill." Akright said.
Akright said the buses already had trouble driving up Naismith Drive in winter conditions.
Steve Munch and Jeff Dunlap, student body president and vice president, ran with the KUnited coalition last spring on a platform to switch all of the University's buses to biodiesel fuel.

Numbers up at Symposium

Attendance increases for Black Leadership conference
More than 530 African-American high school students met yesterday at the Kansas Union to learn about the University of Kansas, college life and the importance of being a leader.
The turnout for the 19th annual Black Leadership Symposium was larger than expected this year.
"We planned for 500 students but 535 showed up," said Pamela Scott, associate director in the Office of
The Black Leadership Symposium is an opportunity for high school students to be exposed to different aspects of college, Scott said. It is also an opportunity for students to learn about what college has to offer, Scott said.
Multicultural Affairs. "Every year it gets bigger; the turnout is great."
"We hope to give aspirations to, of course come to KU, but to get to college in general." she said.
Jalisa Mathis, Junction City High School sophomore, said that she didn't know yet if she would go to the University, but she knew that she
would go to college after she graduated. She came to the symposium to see how people cared about black education and said that the event reminded her that whatever she believed she could achieve.
Scott said the lunch was the most social and fun event. National Pan-Hellenic Council sororites and fraternities performed step shows and then talked to students about their chapters.
"It did give me a chance to see a different part of KU," Mathis said as she watched the Inspirational Gospel Voices perform during lunch.

Stars and Bars billboards raise concerns
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The man responsible for billboards in St. Louis suggesting that supporting changes to the city's government is akin to supporting the Confederate flag yesterday ordered them taken down.
The man, Gregory Colombo, 35 of St. Louis County, agreed to instead donate the space to the NAACP, Sltoday.com, the Web site for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reported.
Colombo said his company financed
Colombo told the newspaper he was asked to put up the signs because he has advertised before with the company and could get a discounted rate.
the billboards to generate attention to the upcoming vote. But he said it generated only negative publicity.
"We wanted to get some heightened awareness out of this, but it could have probably been done in a more tasteful manner." Colombo said.
The billboards read: "A vote for Charter Amendments A, B, C and D equals support for the Confederate
The billboards also state, "A vote against A, B, C and D protects your right to vote."
Flag." A representation of the stars and bars of the Confederate flag appears next to those words.
The propositions on the Nov. 2 ballot would convert several elected positions in the city into appointed jobs, reduce the size of the Board of Aldermen, allow certain appointed jobs to become civil service positions and consolidate decision-making power to the mayor's office.
Carl Star, 45, said he was shocked to
see the Confederate flag displayed at an intersection in a mostly black neighborhood, over a black-owned business.
"It's blatantly disrespectful," Star said. "It's blatantly racist."
Claude Brown, vice president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, filed a complaint Wednesday with the Missouri Ethics Commission. Brown's Vigilant Communications firm is running the campaign related to changing the city charter.

Regents express concern about financial burdens
By Ross Frch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN START WRITE
The Kansas Board of Regents approved an 11-acre land grant for the University of Kansas' West Campus to be used for a new research building.
They also questioned how well Legislature understood the important benefits of higher education.
"I'm not sure they get it outside this room," Regent Deryl Wynn said. "We need to dedicate ourselves to telling this story."
Rather than wait for the Legislature to allot the University the necessary funding for a new Multidisciplinary Research Building, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the University needed to act now
because of the ongoing need for space.
The success of the University's research faculty to receive outside funding depended on having space for buildings. he said.
Though the Regents approved the land grant, Regent James Grier expressed concern about the $40 million research building that was adding to Kansas schools' increasing financial burden.
"We're adding to the problem by building buildings that we need." Grier said.
An almost $600 million shortfall exists for deferred maintenance, which includes repair and rehabilitation for the six Regents schools and the KU Medical Center, said Richard Bond, Regents chairman.
Joan Hunt, senior associate dean for the School of Medicine, also spoke to the Regents about research endeavors.
Hunt is the director of K-

economy in the state of Kansas without successful universities." Robert Hemenwa

BRIN, the Kansas Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network
K-BRIN is funded through the National Institutes of Health Center for Research Resources and links eight institutions on nine campuses in Kansas, including the University and the KU Medical Center.
It strengthens biomedical research and trains researchers in Kansas.
K-BRIN has more than $8 million worth of funds, divided among the various Kansas institutions. Hunt said.
Additionally, Institutional Development Award, or IDEA, grants have awarded nearly $70 million to the state of Kansas, resulting in 2,520 new jobs.
The IDEa enhances biomedical and behavioral research.
Steve Munch, student body president, attended and said he thought research was exciting for the University.
Concerning Kansas universities' and colleges' problems in the Legislature, Munch said it was all about priorities and he was curious to see how things would pan out.
After the meeting, Hemenway said the problems facing universities and colleges were not limited to the institutions. It's a whole state of Kansas problem, he said.
"You can't have a successful economy in the state of Kansas without successful universities," he said.

TOPEKA — Legislators heard plenty of criticism Thursday of a gambling compact that calls on the state to provide market protections to a proposed tribal casino in Wyandotte County in exchange for a share of its revenue.
Some critics complained the market protections for the new casino operated by the Kickapoo and Sac and Fox would restrict other gambling too much. Others said the market protections would permit too much gambling outside of the new casino.
The Joint Committee on State-Tribal Relations is reviewing the compact reached by the two tribes and Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The two tribes hope to build a $210 million casino-and-hotel complex near Kansas Speedway.
Sebelius' office estimates the
state could receive $50 million or more a year in revenues, but the compact requires it to restrict gambling elsewhere to get its full share.
The state would lose revenues by permitting more than 500 non-tribal slot machines or video lottery terminals within 100 miles of the new casino and more than 1,500 such machines outside 100 miles. Doing so would drop the state's share to a few million dollars.
Doug Lawrence, a lobbyist for the Kansas Greyhound Association, said the limits could keep dog- and horse-racing tracks from competing effectively with casinos. Track owners have unsuccessfully sought legislative approval for slot machines for years.
"We are concerned that this compact creates a business environment that does not allow free-market competition," Lawrence said.
Greeks to hold auction for House That Greeks Built
BY AUSTIN CASTER

KANSAK STAFF WINTER
Tomorrow the greek community will be one step closer to building a house for a deserving Lawrence family.
The Interfraternity Council and Panthellenic Association will hold an auction to raise money for their "The House That Greeks Built" program at 7 p.m. tomorrow on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union.
each year from now on.
The main goal of the auction is to spread the word about the House That Greeks Built, said Megan Rose, Panhellenic appointed adviser of philanthropy.
The St. Charles, Ill., senior said this would be the first auction but hoped it would grow
The Delta Delta Delta member said donations came from Lawrence and the Kansas City area.
The biggest prize will be a study session with Kaplan Test Prep. 1000 Massachusetts St.
"We got MCAT, LSAT and GRE classes which normally cost $1,500." Rose said.
The bidding on those items will start at $500.
The House That Greeks Built differs from other Greek programs because it combines philanthropy and community service, said Anne Domann, Panhellenic vice president of philanthropy and community service.
"You actually get to see the people you affect," Domann, Doylestown, Pa., junior, said.

t's a pretty big feat to raise money for the
house.
Nick Lawler Kansas City, Mo., senior
She said they raised money for other programs, but never saw where the money went.
Habitat for Humanity will choose the family for the house. Greeks have collaborated with the charity for about six years, Domann said.
The greek community does not pick the family that will move into the house, but gets to meet them because that family will also help build the house.
"It provides homes for numerous people across the country." said Nick Lawler, IFC vice president of community service and philanthropy.
According to its Web site, Habitat for Humanity has provided housing in 89 nations to more than 750,000 individuals in 3,000 countries.
The University of Kansas is one of two schools in the nation involved with Habitat for Humanity. Lawler said.
"It took a lot of hard work."
Lawler, Kansas City, Mo., senior
Lawler said this will be the third house the KU greek community has been involved with.
He said he had received emails from other universities asking how to get involved with the program.

I have been in uniform for over 15 years, and I'm fairly sure that I speak for the (once-silent) majority here: Changing the name of this great rival is sophomoric. Please tell the P.C. commissars that we military folks have no problem with the term "Border War."
Whether anyone likes it or not, Missouri fans will still cry, "Let's burn the town down!" as they embark on road trips to Lawrence. If we think that we can change attitudes by changing terms, then we are all being idiots.

We should call this what it really is: War. The rivalry is literally rooted in war, and the game-day atmosphere certainly supports it. So take it from a veteran: The soldiers and Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan couldn't care less what we call this rivalry.

President correct to ignore U.N.
STEVE SPEAKS
Regardless of whether President George W. Bush's term ends in a few months or in four years, arguably his greatest accomplishment will be shirking the United Nations and forging ahead in the war against Iraq. The war itself won't be immediately recognized as his crown jewel — although history will judge him to be correct — but ignoring the United Nations was an act that the rest of the world should follow. This is a fact students should keep in mind when heading the polling booth on Nov. 2.
1
After 17 failed resolutions by the United Nations to get Iraq to disarm, it's hard to imagine how countries such as France and Russia insisted on firing up another round of resolutions that proved to be as worthless as the paper U.N. resolutions are written on. Then again, maybe it's not so hard to imagine if you consider the billions of dollars those nations stood to make through the United Nations Oil-for-food program.
STEVE VOCKRODT
svockrodt@kansan.com
Bush's refusal to heed the United Nations, in part because of such corruption within the organization, is the latest in a series of embarrassing setbacks for the languishing international organization.
A program that was supposed to provide humanitarian aid to Iraqi people in exchange for limited oil sales turned out to be a well-known scam through which Saddam Hussein received billions in kickbacks. Anyone familiar with his regime knows Hussein is far removed from using any money to improve the pitiful lot of his own people. But why the hell should France and Russia care? If money is the end, then the means are justified.
One could go back as far as the United Nation's inception after World War II, but for the sake of brevity, we'll start in 1994. After receiving word from Rwandan insurgents who warned of impending genocide, a dead giveaway for what was going to happen, the United Nations played dumb and did nothing. One hundred days later, Rwanda was stuck with 800,000 annihilated corpses, all victims of horrible genocide. The rate of killing surpassed the Holocaust at any time.
Seeing how the United Nations was created largely to prevent another Holocaust, it's safe to say that it is hardly the world's moral mountain, and its advice has the value of a wooden nickel.
Now we're seeing a huge problem of impending genocide in Sudan that the United Nations isn't about to do anything for. It's making headlines these days because of recent insurgent developments in Darfur, but anyone with even a marginal education in world issues knows the problem in Sudan has been brewing for decades.
But those issues are only the big ones. For those unwilling to pay attention to the world around them, here is a partial track listing of the United Nation's greatest misses:
In 2003, the United Nations made Libya the chair nation of the United Nations Human Rights Commission amid protest of every other human rights organization in existence and anyone with any concern of human rights issues.
The BBC reported that refugees seeking protection were coerced into performing sexual favors upon U.N. peacekeepers in order to ensure their safety.
The United Nations recently called the Bush Administration's military action in Iraq illegal, but somehow favored NATO intervention in Kosovo. Speaking of which, opportunistic U.N. peacekeepers jumped on the chance to run drug and prostitution trade there, but ignored the genocide that continued in the U.N. safe-haven for refugees.
With so much recognizable, indisputable corruption and inaction that follows everything the United Nations touches, why should Bush be expected to keep his finger on the U.N. pulse for how to run world issues?
At this point, the rest of the world should follow Bush and move along without the dead weight of the United Nations.
Vockrodt is a Denver senior in journalism and political science.
Demonstrations supporting various causes and ideas are a constant occurrence on most university campuses and university towns. University environments provide a large audience with very mixed ideas on politics, religion, business practices, university policy, and a number of other causes.
This diverse array of ideas naturally creates tension between people with conflicting views. Conflict often sparks debate, and debates can then lead to demonstrations.
Negative protests easy to tune out
Today, public demonstrations are still very common, although the causes behind them have changed significantly. These demonstrations range anywhere from silent vigils to sign-waving, chanting, and marching down Massachusetts Street to a few motivated religious activists preaching up and down lavihawk Boulevard.
However, the main goals of these demonstrations often do not reach the majority community members because their message is based on negative ideas. In fact, many protests are ineffective because they do not provide a positive outlook on a situation, but focus on debasing a political candidate or religious idea.
SARA ZAFAR
opinion@kansan.com
PERSPECTIVE
People do not respond well to being
Often, demonstrators mean well. They believe in a cause, and want others to support them. They want to get the message out about whatever issue is important to them, and they want to do it quickly and efficiently.
old that they are wrong in how they choose to live their life, or what political views they hold, or what they believe. The last presidential debate, while not an overt protest, is a good example of how little can be accomplished by slandering one's opponent until no one is sure what is true, and no one learns anything new about the candidates.
The best way to reach an audience is to make the demonstration approachable, sending a positive message. Rather than defiling a particular political candidate through malicious propaganda, sidewalk chalking, or mudsling-
ing, opposing campaigns should display the positive characteristics of their own candidate, highlighting any significant platforms, goals, and accomplishments.
This gives voters a better idea of where a candidate stands instead of leaving them confused as to who is even telling the truth. Rather than attacking passers by for not following a certain religion and lifestyle, religious demonstrators should point out the advantages, as they see them, to following their religion or lifestyle. Anti-war demonstrations often cause misunderstandings because passers by do not always understand the reasons for protesting the actions of the country's leaders. A demonstration for peace is much more effective because it is easier for people to accept.
Some demonstrations, especially those dealing with controversial issues, will always create some tension among lookovers, particularly concerns with homosexuality, foreign policy, abortion, and others, because people generally already have strong opinions on these subjects, a demonstration that supports a cause will always be more effective than one that only shows the negative.

DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — A camouflage-clad Sen. John Kerry went goose hunting yesterday while President Bush paid a call on the archbishop of a heavily Catholic battleground state, a clash of symbolism in a tight race for the White House.
especially in all issues, in among nns with abortion, generally on these supports effective negative.
Unimpressed with Kerry's shotgun-toting excursion, Vice President Dick Cheney accused Kerry of donning an "October disguise" to keep his record on gun issues hidden from the voters.
Twelve days before the election, an Associated Press survey among likely voters had the race as a statistical tie, 49 percent for the Massachusetts senator and
46 for the man in the White House.
The nominal three-point margin was inside the survey's margin of error.
The same AP-Ipsos Public Affairs survey produced a tie on the question of preferred congressional leadership, 47 percent favoring Democrats and 46 percent for Republicans. That pointed toward problems for Democrats, struggling to gain the 12 seats they need to win back the majority they lost a decade ago.
In the presidential race, the AP survey depicted a country at a crossroads.
Fifty-one percent support the president's conduct of foreign policy and the war on terror. But
voters are split on which man would do the better job in the war on Iraq, and Kerry is viewed as better able to stimulate job growth.
More than half of those surveyed, 56 percent, said the nation was headed in the wrong direction, a danger signal for any incumbent.
Other recent polls show a similarly close race, with Bush and Kerry battling over about a dozen states that remain competitive with less than two weeks of campaigning to go.
Kerry's hunting excursion in Boardman, Ohio, was a classic of a campaign genre, the photop. So, too, Bush's stop at St. John's Church Rectory in Downington, Pa., where he met
with Cardinal Justin Rigali. Catholic archbishop of Philadelphia.
Images counted for much. words less.
Kerry told reporters he had bagged a goose, but by the account of his own aide, that wasn't the point.
It's important that voters "get a better sense of John Kerry, the guy." Mike McCurry said of the 60-year-old Massachusetts senator.
Kerry strolled past television cameras on his return from a two-hour hunting trip, wearing a camouflage jacket and carrying a 12-gauge shotgun under his arm. A hunting companion carried the bird the senator said he had shot.
Reporters never got a glimpse of Bush's meeting with the spiritual leader of Catholics in a state where 23 percent of voters practice the faith.
But photographers were briefly permitted inside the 20-minute meeting between the two men, good enough to record the image the president's re-election campaign wanted.
Apart from his meeting with the archbishop, Bush delivered a sharp attack on Kerry's plan to expand health care, insisting it would mean "bigger government with higher costs."
Kerry has repeatedly denied the big government charge, and says Americans would be free to choose their coverage from competing private plans.
Rangers begin dramatic rescue at Yosemite
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. Rangers attempted a dramatic helicopter rescue Thursday of two climbers on a snowy mountain and struggled to remove the ice-encrusted bodies of two Japanese hikers after an unexpected early blizzard swept through the Sierra.
The deaths occurred on El Capitan, a 3,200-foot granite mountain at Yosemite National Park, following a fierce blizzard that stranded nearly two
dozen hikers and climbers across Northern California. Other than the two deaths, all of them were found or rescued.
Paul Bargetto was part of a four-person group that had been missing since Sunday. They were spotted from the air
"Oh, thank God, thank God. This is the greatest day of my life," rejoiced Rita Bargetto-Snider after receiving word that her brother, Paul Bargetto, was apparently safe after becoming stranded at a 9,400-foot-elevation lake east of Fresno.
Thursday, and all appeared to be in good shape, authorities said.
A rescue team was lowered to the ground and quickly reached the stranded hikers, who are members of a California winemaking family.
About a dozen friends and family members were on hand ready to greet the men, none of whom needed hospitalization.
"Once the conditions got overwhelming, they stayed put and rationed their food and kept warm. They saved themselves," said Jenna Endres, one
of the rescuers.
On El Capitan, the survivors spent the night on a portable ledge secured high above the valley floor. A team of 12 began trying to reach them late Wednesday, and renewed the efforts Thursday.
asked for extra supplies but apparently didn't need any additional help; and one who was rescued off the mountain Wednesday.
A separate crew prepared to remove the bodies of the Japanese climbers - a man and a woman.
Seven people in all were stranded on El Capitan by the storm: the two Japanese climbers; the two being rescued Thursday; another couple who
A half-mile high and a mile wide, El Capitan casts an imposing shadow over the glacier-sculpted Yosemite Valley.
The first successful ascent took 45 days, but today most climbers need three or four days to make it to the top—clinging to barely visible outcroppings and prying their way up cracks invisible from the valley floor.
3 charged with voting in Kansas, Missouri in 2002
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Federal prosecutors charged three Kansas City-area residents Thursday with using fraudulent records to vote in both Kansas and Missouri in the Nov. 5, 2002, general election.
James Scherzer, 68, of Kansas City, Kan.; Lorraine Goodrich, 39, of Prairie Village, Kan.; and
Leslie McIntosh, 67, of Kansas City, Mo., were each charged with giving false residency information to elections officials.
In each case, they registered to vote using different residence addresses in both states and signed forms at the polling places swearing they lived at those addresses, authorities said
The U.S. Attorneys' offices in western Missouri and Kansas are
investigating the cases, which each carry a potential sentence of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
McIntosh didn't immediately return a phone call to his home seeking comment, and calls to listings for Scherzer and Goodrich were not answered.
states during a primary election in 2002, and both the primary and general election in 2000. Graves also said Scherzer used the Missouri address to obtain a Missouri driver's license and to register a vehicle.
Todd Graves, the U.S. attorney for western Missouri, said Scherzer also voted in both
Eric Melgren, the U.S. attorney for Kansas, said McIntosh also voted in both states during the 2000 general election.
The charge against McIntosh was announced during a press conference Thursday morning where Melgren, Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh and local elections officials said they were stepping up efforts to prevent election fraud or voter disenfranchisement.
Neither has been charged
with those crimes.
Castro injures knee,arm in public
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAVANA — Cuban President Fidel Castro's advancing age — and ultimately his mortality — were brought home yesterday after he fractured a knee and arm when he tripped and fell at a public event.
In a communist society where the 78-year-old leader has played a larger-than-life role for more than four decades, the tumble was the latest reminder that Cuba's commander in chief is an aging man who will not live forever
— with an elderly brother as his designated successor.
"I'm all in one piece," Castro declared on state television Wednesday night. when Castro tripped on a concrete step while returning to his seat after an hour-long speech in the central city of Santa Clara.
A medical examination early yesterday confirmed Castro suffered a broken left knee and a hairline fracture in his upper right arm, said an official notice carried by state media.
"His general health is good, and he is in excellent spirits," it said, adding that Castro hoped to be "back in place" soon.
"He asked that it be made known he is in condition to keep overseeing fundamental questions in close cooperation with government and party leaders," the statement said.
Parliament speaker Ricardo Alarcon, who has been by Castro's side more than four decades, said yesterday he was confident the president would recover quickly.
"He is a man of much strength," Alarcon told international journalists in Havana.

Japan starts cleanup after typhoon kills 67
TOKYO — Rescue workers and Japanese troops waded through sludge early today to search for victims of mudslides in Japan's deadliest typhoon in over a decade that ripped across the country, killing 67 and leaving 21 missing.
Typhoon Tokage unleashed towering waves and rapid mudslides that demolished homes and flooded dozens of communities when the storm slammed into western Japan Wednesday.
Tokage headed east into the Pacific Ocean Thursday after
losing power, leaving clear blue skies in its wake and rescue workers combing the sea for victims feared washed away in the typhoon.
Tsutomu Mukai on the small island of Awaji 279 miles west of Tokyo said a mudslide buried his home and killed his 72-year old mother.
"We panicked. We had no time to escape," Mukai, 50, told broadcaster TV Asahi. "I called out, 'Mother, are you alive?', but there was no answer."
By Friday morning, the death toll had risen to 67, and 21 others were still unaccounted for, the National Police Agency said. Injuries totaled 281.

SYMPOSIUM: Students learn the importance of leadership
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Stepping is synchronizing steps, clapping and chanting, sometimes along with music. The performers chanted about their organization and their background. Performers included three sororities and three fraternities.
"It is watching history and entertainment together," Scott said.
Marina Burton, Topeka senior, performed in last year's Black Leadership Symposium but this year she enjoyed just watching. Burton remembered the performances from when she was in high school.
"There are a lot of things about KU that you don't see in a normal visit," she said. "I was impressed by the performances."
Burton said she was always planning on attending the University but the Black Leadership Symposium made it more comfortable for her to come.
A cash prize of $100 was awarded to Kourtney Williams, Maize High School, the "Reading Gets You There" essay contest winner. Participants in the contest read one book by Frederick Douglas, Ernest J.
Gaines, Booker T. Washington,
W.E.B DuBois or Langston
Hughes. The award was given by
Marshall Jackson, associate
director in the student development center.
"Communication is a important skill to have as a leader and writing is communication," Jackson said. "It is also a history lesson because we pick literature from different parts of history."
Barbara Ballard, associate director in the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, was the keynote speaker and led the workshop on black female leadership.
The men had their own workshop during this time.
Ballard said learning together without certain criticisms helps for a more open environment, and there are some things that women will not say in front of men.
"It's important to have that opportunity to get in touch with each other, to have a camaraderie and validity with each other as women." Ballard said.
The symposium also had workshops for each high school graduate and a student talent show.

BIODIESEL:1997 test run failed after half a day
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Akright said planning began during the summer, but the process of bringing biodiesel fuel to campus has been more difficult than expected.
The board is working with the Kansas Soybean Association to begin the trial.
Akright said the association would pay for rental of the tank to store the fuel for the trial and might even pay for other costs of the trial.
The University will use B20 biodiesel fuel, which is comparable in efficiency to generic diesel fuel, said Dunlap, Leawood senior. B20 is 20 percent biodiesel fuel and 80 percent diesel fuel.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, biodiesel fuel emits 20 percent unburned hydrocarbons and 12 percent less carbon monoxide than diesel fuel. Unburned hydrocarbons are one of the major exhaust pollutants left after fuel is burned.
The last time Student Senate initiated a biodiesel trial was 1997. It lasted less than one day because administrators at Strong Hall complained about the stench and the bus driver became nauseated.
The last time Student Senate initiated a biodiesel trial was 1997, Akright said. It lasted less than one day because administrators at Strong Hall complained about the stench and the bus driver became nauseated. The biodiesel fuel that the University of Kansas will test this semester is the same composition as the previous trial, but
the Kansas Soybean Association said this biodiesel fuel would not stink, Akright said.
The previous biodiesel fuel had another disadvantage. The biodiesel and regular diesel fuels needed to be hand mixed. The fuel for this trial is pre-blended.
Dunlap said working between companies and government agencies to meet specifications for the trial took time.
"There's always more bureaucracy than you think," Dunlap said.
The Transportation Board is currently discussing other ways to bus reduces emissions, he said. A possible option is a better filtering system which would reduce emissions year round.
If the Transportation Board finds that biodiesel fuel will work with the climate and hilly conditions of campus, biodiesel fuel would probably be used during warmer months only. Akright said.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The mission is clear for the No. 6 Kansas women's soccer team: defeat its next three opponents and be Big 12 Conference champions.
Kansas has never won a conference title in soccer, and the team is thrilled to control its own destiny.
"It's a huge deal," said senior defender Stacy Leeper. "We were eighth in conference when I got here, and now we have a chance to win it all. It's good to know it's in our own hands."
The Jayhawks (14-2 overall, 6-1 conference) will begin their quest for the title today when they travel to College Station, Texas, to take on No. 9 Texas A&M, (12-4, 7-1).
Three more victories will give the Jayhawks sole possession of the Big 12 title, but the team can also clinch a share of the conference crown with two wins, as long as one of them comes against Texas A&M, or if it loses to Iowa State. But today's top 10 match-up will likely determine who ends the season as champion of the Big 12.
"We know it's a must-win game," Leeper said. "We have to win the A&M game to have a chance of winning the conference."
Kansas will then play at Texas on Sunday and Iowa State at home next Friday.
The task will not be easy because the Aggies, seeking their fifth conference championship, are emphasizing tonight's game as much as the Jayhawks are.
The Texas A&M soccer Web site is promoting the matchup as the Road to the Ring.
Kansas will see its largest crowd of the year with a sellout crowd expected at the Aggie Soccer Complex, but Kansas coach Mark Francis said it wouldn't hurt his team's performance.
"Everyone likes to play in front of big crowds," Francis said. "The girls are always mentally ready, and it will fire up our team."
According to AggieAthletics.com,
Texas A&M set a Big 12 record crowd of
5,384 last month against Texas.
Texas A&M is coming off a 2-1 loss to Missouri, but it had won seven straight games before that defeat.
The Aggies have firepower on the offensive side of the ball, having scored 43 goals this season. Ashlee Pistorius leads the team in goals scored with 13, but 16 others have also recorded goals.
Kansas counters with a defense that has dominated its opponents in recent games. Senior goalie Meghan Miller, coming off back-to-back road shutouts, has only allowed three goals in seven conference games.
"They have forwards that are very impressive in front of the goal," Francis said. "This weekend, we will have to be sound defensively, otherwise they will put some in on us."
After today's game, Kansas travels to Austin, Texas, to take on the Longhorns (9-5-1, 4-3-1) on Sunday.

CoRec football Cinderella falls

Nick Hunt intercepts the ball intended for Stephen Petiteras. The ball was returned for a touchdown, Kathy Says Okay and Bruce Hall were the CoRec teams to play in the Intramural Championship at Memorial Stadium.
Bright lights and empty bleachers gave Memorial Stadium an eerie feel as Kathy Says Okay thrashed Bruce Hall, 26-0, in the CoRec football intramural championship at 7 p.m. vestedday.
The game wasn't the same magnitude as the Kansas football team's homecoming victory against Kansas State, but playing at Memorial Stadium was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the committees.
"It was fortunate we didn't win, because then someone would have to buy another set of goalposts," said Bruce Hill placer Derek Gustafson.
Bruce Hall, comprised of members from the seventh floor of Lewis Hall, miraculously made the championship by winning three playoff games because of forfeits. The team lost both of its regular season games.
Kathy Says Okay was able to control the game and cap off an undefeated season, largely because of Nick Hunt, a hard-nosed, redheaded St. Louis, Mo., graduate student. Hunt had three touchdown receptions and three interceptions.
Hunt said Kathy Says Okay played several Kansas intramural sports, including soccer, volleyball, floor hockey and sand volleyball.
"He was a formidable opponent," said Stephen Peterten, Lenas freshman and Bruce Hall player. "But I didn't like him."

The team was supported by three fans — the only fans at the game — who watched from the wet, otherwise empty bleachers.
"We're just a group of friends," he said. "We enliv it."
"We came to support our friends, and I thought they did fantastic," said Sara Fox, Topeka senior and Kathy Says Okay fan.
Brian Bratichak, Lenexa sophomore and Bruce Hall player, said his team was rusty from three straight weeks of forfeits.

SEVENTH-INNING STRETCH
Late Night needs more basketball, less preshow
Nothing can get a basketball-hungry campus more pumped up than a jampacked Allen Fieldhouse.
Late Night in the Phog got all 16,000 attendees psyched for the start of the 2004-2005 basketball season.
As a first-year transfer student, this was my first year at Late Night.
After a week to reflect on the festivities, a conclusion arose: Although Late Night executed the mission or entertaining the audience, many of the students who cut fall break short to make it to Late Night found the actual basketball focus a little blurry.
The hour-long wait to get in came as no surprise, and the night started just as expected — all basketball.
The free programs were easily accessible throughout the gym, so all fans present could read up on what we came to see. Coaches Bonnie Henrickson and Bill Self talked about our men's and women's basketball teams who are going to "bring the National Championship home."
Then came the pre-scrimmaging entertainment.
Audience members were chosen by NBA hypnotist Tom Silver, and led away for a seemingly long time.
Some of the gimmicks used to keep the fans amused were just far-fetched you had to laugh.
Of course these things are fun to watch. Who doesn't want to see a man with a basketball head do a front-flip into a dunk?
For the first hour and a half, antics such as the "Mavs Man" and a $20,000 shoot-out contest were presented to the audience.
They returned to be hypnotized in front of us all. This was the most farfetched stunt of the night. What does the NBA use this guy for?
For the first five minutes it was funny, going along fittingly with the fun mood that filled the fieldhouse. But I failed to see the point.
Not to say the night as a whole wasn't entertaining.
The coaches assured the audience of even better seasons than last year and the expectations were raised for their talent-packed squads.
Both basketball teams had the crowd rolling at their creativity and their willingness to clown around in front of a packed house.
Both teams also proved their suave ability to dance.
Every word they said was inspiring and believable. I just wish we could have seen a little more basketball action to back up their opinion.
Henrickson and Self did impeccable jobs of super-sizing the volume of the crowd.
With the women's first appearance at Late Night this year, it is understandable that they would scrimmage before the men, meaning they had to play before midnight. As a true practice was not allowed yet, Henrickson could not be present. But does that also mean they could play no longer than eight minutes?
Obviously the steadfast rule remains unchanged — official practices cannot begin until Oct. 16.
So little can be seen in eight minutes. I don't know the official rules on how long is too long, but I think I could've lived with less star impersonations from the hypnotizees in order to watch a few more minutes of women's basketball, considering basketball is the supposed to be the focus of the evening.
Self may have been a little disheartened by what he saw, but when guys

KANSAN TEAM WRITTEN
Kansas faces Oklahoma's Heisman double-threat
For the first four weeks of the season, the Kansas defense was fed a steady diet of outstanding quarterback.
The next two weeks brought a continuous stream of dynamic running backs.
This week, Kansas is going to face a quarterback who already has his first Heisman Trophy, and a running back who is in the lead to grab one this year.
Kansas' defense has been its foundation this year, but when faced with an offense with so many weapons, the defense will have a hard time stopping the run and the pass.
No. 2 Oklahoma and Kansas have not met in the Mark
Mangino era, however a new coach is not going to snap this two-game losing streak.
Edge: Oklahoma
Quarterback
After a week of suspense, Kansas coach Mark Mangino announced that sophomore Adam Barmann would be starting quarterback for the Iavhawks.
Brandon Rideau
Barmann was replaced in
the fourth quarter by junior Jason Swanson against Kansas State.
Swanson then led Kansas to its first victory against Kansas State in more than a decade.
Barmann is clearly the bigger quarterback with the better arm strength, but he has struggled
with accuracy all season, Swanson, who is quicker, may be able to create an effective option running game.
may an sea Swanson, who isicker, may be able to create an effective option running game. but is not the same threat t h a t Barmann whe n throwing deep. Mangino has said that it is likely that both of these quarter backs will play.
tomorrow, Oklahoma matches up with Barmann and Swanson with last year's Heisman Trophy winner, senior Jason White.
White has not put up the kind of numbers he did last year, but that is because of the
emergence of freshman Adrian Peterson at running back. White is certainly a threat, especially with the wide receivers he has to throw to.
Running Back
Edge: Oklahoma
Kansas' John Randle, sophomore, has developed into one of the best young running backs in the Big 12 Conference.
Unfortunately for Randle, his accomplishments will be eclipsed by an even better, and younger, running back at Oklahoma.
Freshman Adrian Peterson did not start the season, but ever since posting triple digits in a reserve-role in the season opener, Peterson has held the job.
In Peterson's six games, he's netted 901 yards. Randle has gained just 458. Peterson averages 5.8 yards per carry. Randle, a respectable 4.1
The Sooner's have arguably the best wide receiver in the nation in senior Mark Clayton. Clayton was an All-America selection last season and this season, he has caught 30 balls

players who have caught a pass this season, which shows the ability of White to spread the ball around to different receivers. Kansas has six players who have caught 10 or more passes led by senior Brandon Rideau who has 31 receptions for 287 yards with four touchdowns. Whoever is throwing the ball to the Jayhawk receivers, the Kansas receivers will be ready.
Oklahoma, on the other hand, has an offensive line which has performed remarkably well.
Injuries and inexperience have plagued the line all season, however. So far this season, the offensive line has given up eight sacks, fifth worst in the Big 12. Kansas' paltry 615 yards rushing per games earns them third worst in the Big 12.

Edge: Oklahoma
Edge: Oklahoma
Sophomore cornerback Charles Gordon, who was also shaken up against Kansas State, has three interceptions in the past two games, and leads a defensive unit that has 12 interceptions on the season.
Offensive Line
The Oklahoma secondary has not produced nearly as much, with just three intercep-
They are allowing teams to pass for over 220 yards per game while the Jayhawks are allowing 227 yards passing.
With Kansas' ability to make big plays and force turnovers, the edge goes to the Jayhawks.
Edge: Kansas
Defensive Line
The Oklahoma defensive front is led by senior Dan Cody. He leads the team in sacks with four on the season. Also on the defensive line is senior Jonathan Jackson who has recorded three sacks.
Oklahoma has 16 sacks thus far and does a great job of getting pressure on the quarterback and forcing him to make poor throws.
Kansas is not that far behind the Sooners in the sacks category, with 12 on the season. The Jayhawks have four players with two sacks.
The defensive unit improved from last season and like Oklahoma have been forcing opposing quarterbacks to hurry their throws.
Edge: Oklahoma
Linebackers
Many schools can have one exceptional linebacker, and then several fair linebackers.
They're not extraordinary, but as a group they do extraordinary things.
Kansas' top three linebackers have a total of 125 tackles an average of 20.8 per game. Included in that number is the Big 12's leading tackler, junior Nick Reid.
Oklahoma's top three line-backers have just 98 tackles, an average of 16.3 tackles per game.
While Oklahoma's linebackers are good, Kansas' four line
backer keep each other fresh and they perform every game.
Special Teams
Edge: Kansas
Oklahoma and Kansas have similar kicking situations in that their place kickers have not shown the ability to kick field goals of longer than 40 yards.
Oklahoma's junior Trey DiCarlo is 6-9 on the season, but has a long of just 35 yards.
The Jahawks on the other hand, have senior Johnny Beck, who has connected on just 1-5 from 40 yards or more.
Beck has been a little more consistent in recent weeks as he has connected on three straight field goals in the past two games.
Beck has the stronger leg compared with DiCarlo, however his accuracy has not been good this season.
Edge: Kansas
Coaches
Mangino and Oklahoma's coach Bob Stoops share a special bond.
Both coached at K-State as assistants, then Stoops brought Mangino to Oklahoma as his offensive coordinator.
Stoops has a 34-1 record at home since becoming the coach at Oklahoma.
He's won a national championship, and has the best nonconference record in the Big 12, having lost just one game.
Mangino is still trying to turn this Kansas team around, and the team has gotten better.
Next time the Jayhawks go to Norman, Okla., they'll have a chance if Mangino's turnaround continues.
For now, however, Stoops has the drop on Mangino.
Edge: Oklahoma

It turns out Sunday's clash between Mora's surprisingly good Atlanta Falcons and the venerable Vermeil's unexpectedly bad Kansas City Chiefs will not be the first time the two have met.

"He was moved somewhere else," said a smiling Vernell, who still can't stop calling his 42-year-old opponent "a kid."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If Jim Mora is upset about being kicked out of his bedroom to let Dick Vermeil get a good night's sleep, then maybe this is a revenge game.
Oddly, the Chiefs' defensive coordinator is also an older man who is a close friend. After he was given the Atlanta job last year, Mora tried to hire Gunther Cunningham away from Tennessee as his defensive coordinator. Instead, Cunningham elected to return to Kansas City.
A good day for Mora's Falcons (5-1) in their first trip to Arrowhead Stadium in 13 years could elevate them to 6-1. The Falcons are led by peerless quarterback Michael Vick, who engineered a stirring fourth-quarter rally in last week's 21-20 victory over the Chargers.
"I kicked young Jim out of his bedroom and slept in his bed," Vermeil said. "When I came back to recruit there again, I stayed in his room again. I've known this guy since he was 6 years old. I'm proud of him. I just hope he doesn't have a good day against his real old friend."
But defensive end Patrick Kerney, who already has seven sacks, gives much of the credit to Mora.

Courtrules Athens gold belongs to U.S. gymnast
For weeks, Paul Hamm's Olympic gold medal sat in a drawer at his boyhood home,
There was, after all, a chance he'd have to give it to someone else.
Now, the gold medal is his — finally and forever.
Sports' highest court rejected an appeal from a South Korean gymnast on Thursday, ruling that Hamm is the rightful champion in the men's all-around competition at the Athens Games.
The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
"It feels like it's mine now. If I were to damage it in any way, it wouldn't be going to anyone else. If I ruin it, it's mine to ruin." Hamm said. "Now I'll be able to put it in a safe place and leave it there."
And leave this whole mess behind him.
The decision by a three-judge panel from the Court of Arbitration for Sport ends a tussle that began more than two months ago, when South Korea's Yang Tae-young claimed a scoring error had cost him victory.
"There's been a lot of fighting for this medal. I feel like I've won it three times," he said, "I think it'll mean that much more, that I'll be able to keep it for the rest of my life."
But the CAS panel dismissed the appeal, leaving Hamm with gold and Yang with bronze. Kim Dae-eun of South Korea will keep the silver.
Yang asked the court to order international gymnastics officials to change the results and adjust the medal rankings accordingly, giving him the gold and Hamm the silver.

This triple threat will be difficult for the Jayhawks to slow down, but it comes with the territory for a team trying to win its first conference championship.
Carpenter is second with seven and McDonald, Texas' all-time leading scorer, is third with six.
Texas is still dangerous, though, as the Longhorns' Kelsey Carpenter and Kelly McDonald were both named last week's Big 12 players of the week.
The Longhorns are also tough at home, having won their last eight matches.
Texas is as good on offense as Texas A&M, having scored 42 goals this season.

Kelly Wilson leads the team in goals scored with nine.
"We've got two tough games on the road and another at home," Francis said. "It won't be easy, but this is one of the goals we set before the season, and we are right where we want to be."

When the show ended and people filed out of the fieldhouse, I wondered what the crowd was taking away from the night.

While walking over the empty popcorn boxes and bottles of water, still trying to get out of the fieldhouse, I went on thinking
PRESHOW: Women's team should play more than 8 minutes

about how deserving it was for the women's team to finally get in on the action. And although Henrickson warned us of a "rusty" debut for her team, we saw them play well enough to get us excited for the season. We just didn't see much.

OH, RIGHT...
DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF IMPRESSIONABLE TRY-ANYTHING-ONCE COLLEGE GIRLS MERE FEET FROM WHERE YOU LIVE?
OH, RIGHT...
DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
Today's Birthday (Oct. 22).
You can bring in the money, and you can figure out how to have the very thing that you want. You're determined, lucky and smart. Provide an unusual service that helps other people feel better.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Others can give you the boost you need to get where you want to go. Ask for an introduction to someone who's already been there and done that.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is a 6.
You're gathering points that you'll be able to redeem later for something you need. These aren't like coupons exactly; they're more like a good impression you're making.
HOROSCOPES
Today is an 8.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
There's going to be a lot of work coming in the next few weeks. You may not have much time to play or investigate new boutiques, so you'd better make time for that now.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Today is a 7.
Go through your paperwork one
more time, and see what you might find. Your own work and imagination transform dearth into plethora.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
today is an 8.
You're pretty good at working out the details in advance. That's fine, but also be on the lookout for a great opportunity. Planning is good, but planning plus passion is better.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
today is a 5.
Your own efforts are making the transformation that you've envisioned come true. Isn't it satisfying to do something where you can see results? Keep at it; you're not finished yet.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 7.
Fantasies are wonderful, and you're good at thinking them up. The challenge now is to figure out how to make one of them come true. You know which one, and if you don't, a person you love will remind you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is a 6.
Today is a 8.
Your place will look magnificent, and nobody needs to know how

Pitcher plays with pain for the love of the game
Softball junior ready to return to field after injury, surgery
By MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIER
Sometimes the things you love the most cause the most pain.
For Kansas softball junior pitcher Serena Settlemier, it was her love of softball that put her in pain every time she took the field.

Settlemier enjoyed an outstanding
Settlemier enjoyed an outstanding
Her batting average was .297 and included two home runs. An All-Big 12 selection came her way as well. At that point, the skv was the limit.
freshman season in 2002. She led the Jayhawks in innings pitched, saves and strikeouts and had a 12-7 record.
But underneath that success was an injury that Settlemier had played with since she was 15-years-old.
A chipped ulna caused her constant pain that she was determined to fight. She wanted to continue her first year's success, but in the middle of the fall season of her sophomore year, the pain got to the point where something needed to be done. Surgery was the next step.
"It was a really radical operation, but she said 'let's do it' with no hesitation," coach Tracy Bunge said. "I don't know a lot of kids who could have handled it the way Serena did."
Settlemier's absence left a gap in the lineup that was difficult for the team to fill.
"Serena was going to bat in the fourth spot," Bunge said.
"Her absence from the lineup and the pitching staff was a devastating loss that really hurt us."
The Jayhawks finished the 2003 season with a record of 26-22. Settlemier wanted to return in 2004 and help the club post more victories.
But after three surgeries and a metal plate, she had to face the possibility that she might not be able to do what she loved ever again.
"It was very hard not knowing if I could make it back or not," Settlemier said. "I went through stages of anger and depression. It was tough pulling myself away from the team."
Settlemier went through a 16-month rehabilitation program to try to get herself back into form. It was a tough process, both physically and mentally.
"After that long, I was definitely ready to get back out there and play." Settlemier said.
When she did return to the game, her wrist continued to give her problems.
Settlemier often was limited to filling the designated hitter role, starting in 46 games. She even managed to pitch nine times during the season, but she experienced unforeseen problems associated with the wrist surgerv.
"Pitching last year was more painful than before because of the metal plate," Settlemier said. "The tendons would rub against the plate. It wasn't a lot of fun."
Continuing to fight through it all has made Settlemier appreciate every chance she gets to contribute to the team.
This year she is expected to be a main participant in a deep pitching staff that returns Kassie Humphreys and Kathy McVey and welcomes newcomer Christina Ross.
Settlemier's ordeal has earned her respect among her teammates and coaches.
"The team really looks up to

her because of all that she's been through and how hard she's worked to get back," Bunge said. "I'm confident that she will step up and be a leader this year."
Bunge said she wanted Settlemier to be a significant contributor on the field as well.
"Serena gives us lots of depth and we need her to pitch a lot of innings this year, especially in tournaments when you play all weekend," Bunge said. "I envision her batting in the middle of our lineup. She is one of the most dangerous hitters we have."
Settlemier will not be completely healthy this season, but she said she still believed she could be a big factor in a successful season for her club.
"My arm probably won't be full strength, but with my determination and hard work to get back, my role will be big on this team." Settlemier said.
Full strength or not, Bunge said she was just happy to see her back.
"She's better than she's been in a long time, and she has that smile back on her face," Bunge said. "She just loves the game. She may not be 100 percent, but Serena at 90 percent is better than most."

became a roiling sea of red.
In a match-up where the home team won each time, the Cardinals broke through with two outs in the sixth inning. It came in a span of only two pitches, and Busch Stadium
Albert Pujols hit a tying double, Scott Rolen followed with a home run and the St. Louis Cardinals suddenly erupted against Roger Clemens, startling the Houston Astros 5-2 last night to take Game 7 of the National League championship series.
Jeff Suppan overcame a lead-off home run by Craig Biggio to win an apparent mismatch against Clemens. The bullpen combined for three scoreless innings, shutting down Carlos Beltran and Co., with Jason Isringhausen working the ninth for his third save.
After posting 105 victories and running away with the NL Central, the Cardinals advanced to their first World Series under manager Tony La Russa, and first overall since 1987.
Next up, the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 on Saturday night at Fenway Park. By all accounts it should be a classic — they also met in the 1967 and 1946 Series,
and St. Louis won both, going the full seven games.
Puiols led the way, hitting 500 with four homers and nine RBI. Overall, the teams combined for 25 home runs, the most in any postseason series.
Larry Walker singled home an insurance run in the eighth, and the club sporting the famed birds-on-the-bat logo captured its 16th pennant.
For the Astros, it was total disappointment.
They have never reached the World Series since their expansion season of 1962, the same year Clemens was born.
But the Rocket could not hold an early 2-0 lead in his record fourth start in Game 7.

Matthew Carazo, Salina senior, stands in a winding line on Saturday morning outside of Free State High School to receive a flu vaccination. Carazo has a congenital heart defect which put him in a high-risk priority group and allowed him to receive the shots.
Shortage causes line for flu shots
BY AMANDA O'TOOLE
A line stretched around Free State High School Saturday morning.
The scene resembled ticket redemption at Allen Fieldhouse last week. But the more than 1,000 people were there for more than a basketball game. They were there to get a flu shot.
BY AMANDA O TOLE
aotole@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment hosted the Flu-X clinic, which was one of the only clinics that was not canceled in Lawrence after an influenza vaccine shortage was announced about two weeks ago. Only people in a high-risk priority group were to receive a shot.
As most of the high priority group was defined as the elderly and children under 3 years old, Matt Carazo, Salina senior, seemed a bit of out place.
But his congenital heart defect made him just as deserving as every one else who braved the 50 degree-weather on Saturday.
Carazo said he felt like he was competing with the other people in line. As he surveyed the crowd he said he wasn't sure if he'd even get a chance to get a shot. He shrugged and returned to the psychology homework he brought to make it through the wait.
Carazo had been there since about 9 a.m. and was willing to stay in line until noon.
Though he looked relatively healthy, Carazo said a flu shot would protect his heart from infection.
"I think it's unfair," Carazo said. "We have to get up early and stand in line just to try to stay healthy."
He had heard that there were only 1,000 units available. He didn't know if there were that many people in front of him.
Lawrence Douglas County Health Department released that the clinic was deemed successful. About 1,400 shots were given. The last shot was administered around 3 p.m.
Carazo eventually made it in said the process went quickly after he got inside the building.
Only seven people were turned away said Janelle Martin, department communications coordinator.

A $2.78 million facelift
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLIA
francoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
New Multicultural Resource Center to open in Fall '06
The center will be funded by Student Senate, which is raising $1.5 million with a student fee of $3.50 each semester. The fee was implemented in the spring of 2003. Another $1 million will be funded by a private donor, whose name has not been released. Eakin said he worked with Provost David Shulenburger on an internal loan to fund the remaining $280,000 needed to begin the project.
Olivia StandingBear pointed out the slanted floor of the Multicultural Resource Center. She said her chair was always rolling backward as she worked at the front desk.
The Multicultural Resource Center Building Committee put off plans for the center in hopes of finding another donor to give $500,000 to the project. The committee has waited since 2003 to find another donor. The original aim was to secure $3 million for the project, but the committee had to downsize its
goal to proceed with the project.
"To me it looks like a trailer house," said StandingBear, ambassador to the Multicultural Resource Center. "It always seems like there's something wrong."
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said that since the Kansas University Endowment Association could not find another donor, the University will put up the rest of the money needed for the center.
Though StandingBear, Pawhuska, Okla., senior, will have graduated by the time the new $2.78 million Multicultural Resource Center is finished, she is excited at the prospect.
In the winter she said she had to wear gloves and a blanket over her legs because the building was so poorly heated.
The new center, located between the Kansas Union and the parking garage, is projected to open in fall of 2006. Santos Nuñez, director of the center, said.

Much 'To-Do' about art
Chris Miller/KANSAL
The image depicts a group of people gathered in an indoor setting, likely a hall or a room with staircases. The floor is covered with a layer of fabric or paper, and there are several balloons tied to the wall above them. Some individuals are holding balloons while others are interacting with each other. The expressions on their faces suggest a cheerful or celebratory mood. There are also framed pictures or artwork on the walls, adding to the decorative atmosphere of the space. The lighting in the room appears to be artificial, casting shadows and highlights on the people and objects within the frame.

A University of Kansas freshman died sometime early yesterday morning, Lynn Bretz, director of University Relations said yesterday.
Information regarding his death was not available last night.
James Justin, St. Charles, Mo. freshman, was a resident of the third floor of Ellsworth Hall.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, and Richard Johnson, dean of students, were unavailable for comment.
The Malaysian Student Organization hasn't held a sports tournament in more than six years — but Saturday it revived a tradition. A table tennis and badminton tournament took place at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center Saturday from noon to 7 p.m. The student group reformed this year and was hoping that this tournament would reunite Msia KU with other student groups on campus.
A University of Kansas student was cited this weekend after his shotgun accidentally misfired and blasted into a neighbor's apartment. PAGE 2A
"This tournament can help our association to build up a reputation," Boon Ya Tan, Msia KU president, said.
More than 30 players showed up for the games. This is more than half of all Malaysian students at the University of Kansas, Niang Choo Lim, the group's adviser, said.

Dude, what happened to your car?
CAR
A car in the Sigma Nu fraternity parking lot caught fire Saturday afternoon. The car was previously destroyed by sledge hammers as a part of a fundraiser done by Delta Delta Delta sorority, before it was speculated that someone set it on fire. "The flames were about 20 feet high with black smoke everywhere," Tommy Whitehead, Leawood freshman, said.

Student cited for shotgun blast into neighbor's home
A 22-year-old KU student was cited for firing a gun within city limits Thursday evening.
Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said the student was reassembling his shot gun when it misfired. He was getting ready for a hunting trip, Ward said.
The misfire happened in an apartment building in the 1100 block of Louisiana Street.
The bullet went through a wall and into his neighbor's apartment.
His neighbor, a 25-year-old KU student, reported the misfire to Lawrence police.
Ward said the 22-year-old rushed to the neighbor's to make sure no one had been hurt.
The only damage reported was the hole the bullet caused when it went through the wall.

Former Westar Energy Inc. executives loot electric bill
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — David Wittig was not the only executive at Westar Energy Inc. to take advantage of a life insurance policy the indicted former chief executive used to collect $2 million in 2002, a witness testified at Wittig's federal fraud trial.
During cross examination Thursday, Wittig's attorneys questioned the government's first witness, former Westar chief administrative officer Carl Koupal.
Wittig and former executive vice president Douglas T. Lake are on trial in Kansas City, Kan., accused of trying to "loot" the state's largest electric utility by manipulating the company's policies and board of directors.
Attorney Paula Junghans got Koupal to acknowledge that like Wittig, he and other executives took advantage of the same kind of so-called split-dollar life insurance policy.
Defense attorneys asked Koupal questions aimed at proving the duo's actions were approved by the board of directors, reported to securities officials in public filings and enjoyed by other executives, including Koupal.
The life-insurance policy had a "put" provision that paid executives $1 for every $1.50 in death benefits they sold back to the company. Koupal, who said he received $4.5 million when he exercised his put rights after leaving the company in October 2001, said that if all executives had exercised those rights, Westar would have actually seen a profit.
He added that the policy had been reviewed by company attorneys and accountants and was reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investigators search farm, man asks them for apology
ELKHART — A southwest Kansas man says one of the investigators who came to his farm with a search warrant two weeks ago told him they were looking for about 16 bodies, at one point adding, "It's going to be a big deal."
"I said, 'it's not going to be a big deal because there's nothing here,'" Joe Bitter said in an interview Thursday evening.
The search, authorized by a judge in Topeka, ended without any bodies being found, Morton County Sheriff Loren Youngers said earlier this week. An attorney said the Bitner family deserve an apology for the way the search warrant was executed, and how
far the investigation went.
Bitner, 63, said he was in a shed Oct 8 when he saw three officers running up the driveway, wearing what looked like bulletproof vests and pointing what looked like assault rifles.
Bitner said he then saw two others, one a Kansas Bureau of investigation agent who put his pistol in its holster after coming around the shed.
At first, Bitner told The Wichita Eagle, he thought it was a mistake, or perhaps some type of training exercise.
Kansas National Guardleader holds ceremony about war
TOPEKA — War. Trouble on the home front. Citizens asked to leave their families to take up arms. That was the report from the state's adjutant general in 1865.
It also was the report Friday from the man currently holding that job as the Kansas National Guard kicked off a yearlong celebration of the 150th anniversary of its founding in 1855. Several hundred people participated in a ceremony at the Statehouse's south steps.
Like their early predecessors, Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting said today's soldiers are being pressed into service amid growing anxiety about whether the Guard can meet demands placed on it.
"No one knows what the future will bring out." Bunting said.
He said about 1,800 soldiers are mobilized or deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan or Kosovo, about 40 percent of the Kansas Army National Guard's strength.
Bunting said the deployments — affecting 74 Kansas counties and more than 270 cities — have increased steadily for the Guard over the past decade, Even before the 2001 terrorist attacks, Guardsmen were deployed on active duty more than they were during the 1991 Gulf War, he said.

Yellow Roadway Corp.to pay $15.5million to collision victim
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — A federal court jury, after hearing testimony about a truck driver's lengthy accident record, awarded $15.5 million to an Atlanta teacher who suffered a leg injury in a head-on collision.
The verdict went against Yellow Roadway Corp., of Overland Park, in a suit filed by first-grade teacher Olivia Nix, who was hospitalized after the Jan. 19, 2002, collision on Interstate 20/59 in Tuscaloosa County.
One of Nix's attorneys, Matt Glover, said the eight-member jury deliberated Wednesday about two hours before settling on the amount
— $500,000 in compensatory damages and $15 million in punitive damages.
She had not asked for a specific amount.
The trucking company is expected to appeal the ruling.
The company's attorney, David Wilson, of Birmingham, did not return a phone message seeking comment Friday.

Sean Findley, Leavenworth freshman, Jon Even, Overland Park senior, and Ashley Brockord, Lee Summit, Mo., sophomore, all hurry to gain distance in the Kappa Alpha Theta Sun Run. The 21st annual Sun Run was a 5K and 10K run that benefited CASA yesterday morning, and began in front of the Lied Center
Though he lettered in cross country four times in high school, Jason Simon ran into a bit of a challenge yesterday.
"This is the first time I've ran in four months," Simon, Andale senior, said.
The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority hosted its 21st annual Sun Run yesterday morning to benefit Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA.
CASA makes court recommendations for children in foster care to try to find them permanent homes, said Carolyn Johnson, volunteer supervisor for CASA and professor of political science.
"We work one on one with kids who have been abused or
neglected," Johnson said.
The program helps foster care children ranging from infants to 21-year-olds, she said. Johnson has volunteered with CASA for more than five years.
"I'm a lawyer and I wanted to do something that would help kids." Johnson said.
Johnson ran 5K and said she prepared using Dog Days, an exercise program sponsored by the University.
"The weather was beautiful," Simon, Pi Kappa Alpha member, said. "Perfect day for a race."
After a rainy week, the sun came out yesterday to lift the runners' spirits.
The ideal temperature for a race is 50 degrees, he said.
"The past two years we've had great weather," said Marlyse Anderson, Olathe senior and Kappa Alpha Theta member.
The race began at 9 a.m. at the Lied Center and participants chose whether to complete in the 5K or 10K.
"Makes a difference on how many people get out of bed at 8 in the morning."
She said during the past four years she had helped with the race, the turnout increased each year.
She estimated there were 20 people running her freshman year.
She said there were 170 who pre-registered, but more came the morning of the race.
About 200 runners showed up yesterday, said Gretchen Anderson, Olathe sophomore and community service deputy for Kappa Alpha Theta.
University of Kansas, Anderson said.
"We were shooting for $5,000," Anderson said. "Each runner paid $15."
The amount the fundraiser actually raised won't be known until sometime today when the sorority totals the money.
The chapter will hold an ice cream social in the spring, also benefitting CASA.
This event was sponsored by several local businesses, including Body Boutique, Color Hair spa retail studio, U.S. Bank, Arensberg's Shoes, Graybill and Hazlewood Lawyers, Pizza Shuttle, Pro Print and Pony Xpress Printing.
There were five different age groups for the race and each range had medals and gift certificates as awards. The groups ranged from 17 and younger to
Roommates Rob Rosasco and Chase Edgerton were among the first to finish the 5K with a time of a little more than 15 minutes.
The first racer to finish 10K took a little less than 37 minutes.
50 and older. Several participants brought along their dogs.
Many participants asked each other if they had gone out the night before and whether it was hard to get up.
Edgerton said they found out about the race through a flyer on campus and thought it was a good cause.
"We had run it freshman year," the Barrington, Ill., junior, said.
"We run more than most," Rosasco, Southbury, Conn., junior, said. "That hurt a lot more than I expected."

Lim believes that less Malaysians are coming to the University because of the expense.
In fact, there are 40 Malaysians enrolled at the University, according to fall enrollment numbers.
She said that 3.8 Malaysian dollars equate to one U.S. dollar. Lim described the group as one of many races.
The players represented that description with students from America, China, India and Indonesia. The tournament was a chance for these students to compete at sports that are familiar at home, but also just to have fun.
"We study all of the time," Lim said. "We need to relax over the weekend, get together and have fun."
Badminton is big in Malaysia, Ken Thye Lee, Eile
Malavsia sophomore. said.
He joined the tournament to support Msia KU and to play a sport that he played a lot back home. Lee learned about the student group from the KU Web site before he came to the United States.
He got in contact with the group and Tan was there to pick him up from the airport.
Lee said that it made it easier to meet people that were like him first to get use to his new surroundings. He liked getting to know all the different people at the University.
On Saturday, Lee sat with a towel around his shoulders and a flushed face after losing in the badminton tournament.
"I already lost in the first round," Lee said. "It's ok, I'll help out with the refereeing."
Tony Wong, who won table tennis tournament — it's not ping-pong — took his sport seri-
ouslv.
"It's way beyond great being champion," Wong, Indonesia senior, said.
Wong started playing table tennis again eight months ago.
Wong said he stopped playing table tennis after he graduated from high school because he couldn't find people who played the game.
When he heard of the tournament he though it would be a great chance to play with new people.
KU alumni Cher-Chiang "Max" Yang, Malaysia graduate student, and Kok Meng Pua were the champions for the badminton doubles games.
The two play together every Saturday and Sunday.
"When we heard of the chance of a tournament we jumped on it," Yang said.

Student ticket situation unfair for basketball fans
Students are being forced to choose between attending class with the chance of not receiving their pre-paid tickets, and getting a big "A" for absent on the attendance record and still have a chance of not receiving their tickets.
Just as we thought getting a seat in Allen Fieldhouse for basketball games couldn't be more competitive, only four thousand tickets are available to students. The first 3,800 tickets go to students in line, and the remaining tickets are given out by lottery.
Instead of making a in-and-out trip to the ticket booth to exchange vouchers for tickets, students had to stand in line for hours only to wait for their set of the highly coveted 3,800 student tickets to be printed on the spot.
The new system and the sight of the seemingly endless line that stretched down Naismith Drive has created a sense of panic.
With the amount of enthusiasm that surrounds the Kansas basketball tradition, the chances of students choosing class over tickets are not good. Shouldn't this send a red flag to the University?
The fight to be in the front of the
line when the ticket office opens will only get worse as the season progresses and the basketball team faces Big 12 Conference competition and big-name schools. Soon, students will have to camp out not only for seats, but also for tickets. Who would regulate another camping process, this time for tickets?
Besides the stress of finding extra time to stand in line and possibly even camp out, it is also stressful to think that many students who have already paid for tickets and did not get any may have to pay again to buy a ticket from someone who decides not to attend a certain game. This is not fair.
The athletic department has crossed the line. Students need to be a much higher priority for basketball.
The new system that has been implemented is unnecessary. What was wrong with the old system? There rarely were lines to wait in, and students did not have to choose between class and their love and loyalty to Jayhawk basketball.
After all, without students to carry on the spirited customs, Kansas basketball would not be the longstanding tradition that it is today.

Homeless deserve our concern
Many Americans, including myself, have the luxury of avoiding the homeless. Like others, I have crossed the street to keep from walking past people who appear to be homeless and might ask me for spare change. Another way to avoid the homeless issue is to ignore the truth about it. Americans can't afford this ignorance if they care about their future.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Concern for the future means concern for children, who account for increased numbers of the homeless. U.S. Census statistics for 2000 indicate that children account for 40 percent of the 31.1 million American poor. These children are usually in families headed by single parents, mostly mothers, who often are domestic violence victims. (National Coalition for the Homeless, 2004)
Since Sept. 11, more Americans express respect for military veterans. Some may not know veterans make up a significant portion of the homeless: 33 percent of the male homeless population, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2004. How real is our patriotism when so many of those who served lack basic human needs?
Families are the fastest-growing part of America's homeless population. When politicians and voters talk about protecting family values do they have homeless families in mind?
D. J.
Fewer still want to believe that many homeless people work. The "just
RAY PENCE
opinion@kansan.com
world" theory is often used to explain homelessness and other misfortunes. Its proponents see a world where people get what they deserve: prosperity is a result of hard work and failure is due to laziness. The theory obviously doesn't apply to children, but many people insist homeless adults cause their own problems through sloth.
The facts tell a different story. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 44 percent of homeless people worked for pay in the past month, with 20 percent of that number in jobs with a duration of at least three months.
Attributing mental illness to the majority of homeless people is another factual error. At most, seven percent of mentally ill homeless people have a condition that could be handled best by institutionalization. America has a long, mostly successful, tradition of rehabilitating people with disabilities so they can work and live independently in communities. History shows that such programs are cost-effective investments, and that institutions do far more harm than good. Releasing people from mental hospitals during the 1950s and 1960s did not cause the rise in homelessness starting in the 1980s; declining incomes and housing shortages did, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless, 2004.
Homelessness is more of a social problem than a personal one. Some won't agree, clinging to the American celebration of individualism.
Reforms can alleviate and minimize these problems. President Bush wants to go further and eliminate homelessness during this decade — perhaps a surprising goal for a conservative president, but a worthy one.
Pursuing Bush's goal requires taxpayer money. We can be negative and call this "throwing money at problems," or we can be positive and invest in people who will themselves become taxpayers. In addition to this investment, America needs what Martin Luther King, Jr. called a "revolution of values." Stigmatizing the homeless and wishing them away is easier, but less selfishness and more interdependence in America will lead to fewer homeless.
Pence is a Casper, Wyo., graduate student in American studies.
Subsidizing perpetuates problem
I was going to drop the homeless issue, but Ron Knox's article "Chess 24/7" (Lawrence Journal-World, Oct. 11) is an opportunity too good to pass up. So I'm back for a second round. Seldom does an article reinforce the points of one of my columns so well.
Ron Knox's article discussed the plight of two homeless men, both convicted felons with substance abuse problems. One of the men admitted he'd had a job and a place to live with a relative but chose the street because a job and a housed existence "felt like I was still in prison." So it's not as if he has "no place else to go." Nor is it accurate to say that the homeless are just like everybody else, unless everybody else is a skid row wino.
FRESH ARRAH
I'm sure many of the homeless didn't exactly have a Leave it to Beaver-type childhood. But society can't suspend the rules that everyone else lives by for every person who had an unhappy childhood. Encouraging patterns of responsible behavior can go farther to help the needy than the most generous set of welfare benefits.
It's telling that able-bodied English speaking Americans claim that housing and jobs can't be found while illegal non-English speaking Mexicans manage to find both and send money back to their families in Mexico.
ARRAH NIELSEN

I've seen numerous panhandlers bearing signs claiming that they are disabled
However well-intentioned homeless advocates may be, their outreach activities are ineffective. The Alternative Spring Break office hosts a trip to Washington, D.C., through the National Coalition for the Homeless where students live on the street for two days and pretend to be homeless. This activity accomplishes nothing of value and is probably more meaningful to participants than to the homeless. The homeless need practical help, not some kid from Leawood pretending to be a hobo.
veterans. Disabled veterans are eligible for guaranteed housing loans, education grants, free healthcare and a pension. There is no reason for veterans to be homeless unless they do not apply for benefits or get kicked out of veterans hospitals. But whose fault is that?

Expanding benefits to the homeless and demanding nothing in return is counterproductive because it encourages homelessness. That's why "progressive" communities such as Boulder, Colo., San Francisco and Austin, Texas with overly generous benefits have burgeoning homeless populations. Subsidize anything and you can expect more of it. That includes homelessness
Step 13, a homeless shelter in Denver founded by a former homeless alcoholic, Bob Cote, boasts a rehabilitation rate of 35 percent — higher than any government-run shelter. Residents of Step 13 may stay as long as they need to but are required to work or attend school, submit to random drug tests and pay rent. Says Cote, "Without individual responsibility, human dignity and well-being can't be restored."
一
If moral indignation and no-strings-attached charity were solutions to homelessness, the problem would have been solved long ago. Indiscriminate giving encourages those preferring freeloading to work, not to develop the skills that will get them off the street. We can't force people to behave responsibly, but we don't have to subsidize their self-destructive behavior.

MRC: Center could open as soon as May or June of 2006
Eakin said the University waited as long as it could to find another donor. The University was in the midst of the major fundraising plan, KU First, when the idea for a new MRC was conceived.
He said some students working with the Endowment Association came close to finding donors, but the state of the economy didn't help the cause.
"We have thought there was a pretty good chance," Eakin said.
The committee is currently working on a contract with Gould Evans, which will be the architecture firm to design the center. Gould Evans has designed many other projects on campus, such as the Underground, Eaton Hall and the Kansas Union.
Warren Corman, the University architect, sketched out a schedule for the new MRC. He said the contract negotiations with the architecture firm would be finished in the next few weeks.
The design process would
take about eight months to complete, and construction would take another year. If construction goes well, the center could open as early as May or June of 2006.
The new center will have an entrance on the fourth floor of the Union. The MRC will be about 7,000 square feet, which is 180 percent larger than the current building located between the Military Science Building and Anschutz Library.
StandingBear said she hoped the new center would bring in students who hadn't used it before.
The building, as it stands now, is insufficient, said Dominique Crain, Olathe freshman. She said unless students were involved with the center's programs, they wouldn't realize it was there. She hoped the new building would be different.
"People think they have to be a minority to be multicultural," she said. "It's open to everyone."
"I hope people will notice it more." Crain said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — In their boldest and deadliest ambush yet, insurgents waylaid three minibuses carrying U.S.-trained Iraqi soldiers heading home on leave and massacred about 50 of them — forcing many to lie down on the ground and shooting them in the head, officials said yesterday.
Some accounts by police said the rebels were dressed in Iraqi military uniforms.
ed on an Islamist Web site attributed the attack to followers of Jordanian-bornb terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The killing of so many Iraqi soldiers — unarmed and in civilian clothes — in such an apparently sure-footed operation reinforced American and Iraqi suspicions that the country's security services have been infiltrated by insurgents.

Edward Seitz, 41, an agent with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, was believed to be the first U.S. diplomat killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. Al-Jaazeera television reported yesterday that the militant Islamic Army of Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack.
FLU: More vaccine should be ready in January
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Roderick Bremby, KDHE secretary, said there is a common misconception that there would not be enough vaccination units for all people in the high risk priority group.
Though there may not have been enough for everyone in Lawrence on Saturday, more vaccine would become available in January, Bremby said.
"We urge people to be patient," he said. "We hope that everyone in the risk group will get one. There is no need to panic."
And health authorities are still
In doing this, local clinics and pharmacies wanted to be relieved of daily phone calls regarding the vaccine. Risk group members can call 843-0721. According to a news release from the health department, the line will be open
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
learning, he said. It's only been 19 days since the Food and Drug Administration announced that no influenza vaccinations would be distributed from Chiron, one of the two influenza vaccine providers for the United States.
The KDHE has set up a phone number for high risk group members to call to find out where more vaccines are available, Martin said.
"All Douglas County has to do is make one phone call," Martin said.
Bremby said information acquired from the clinics would be evaluated later today by the state and county health departments.
Douglas County's Flu-X clinic was one of ten originally scheduled throughout the state. Six were canceled because of the shortage. Other clinics were held in Shawnee, Saline and Crawford counties.
The clinics were originally scheduled to be a state-wide
exercise for mass immunization. Bremby said the flu immunizations were to imitate crisis of disease outbreaks or situations like biochemical warfare.
Loree Cordova, Lawrence-Douglas County medical consultant and health officer, said in case of a crisis situation, clinics like the one at Free State High School would happen throughout the city.
Martin said sites for immunization would be at location with large gymnasiums like both Free State and Lawrence high schools and at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Student ticket situation unfair for basketball fans
www.kansan.com
Just as we thought getting a seat in Allen Fieldhouse for basketball games couldn't be more competitive, only four thousand tickets are available to students. The first 3,800 tickets go to students in line, and the remaining tickets are given out by lottery.
Instead of making a in-and-out trip to the ticket booth to exchange vouchers for tickets, students had to stand in line for hours only to wait for their set of the highly coveted 3,800 student tickets to be printed on the spot.
The new system and the sight of the seemingly endless line that stretched down Naismith Drive has created a sense of panic.
Students are being forced to choose between attending class with the chance of not receiving their pre-paid tickets, and getting a big "A" for absent on the attendance record and still have a chance of not receiving their tickets.
With the amount of enthusiasm that surrounds the Kansas basketball tradition, the chances of students choosing class over tickets are not good. Shouldn't this send a red flag to the University?
The fight to be in the front of the
line when the ticket office opens will only get worse as the season progresses and the basketball team faces Big 12 Conference competition and big-name schools. Soon, students will have to camp out not only for seats, but also for tickets. Who would regulate another camping process, this time for tickets?
Besides the stress of finding extra time to stand in line and possibly even camp out, it is also stressful to think that many students who have already paid for tickets and did not get any may have to pay again to buy a ticket from someone who decides not to attend a certain game. This is not fair.
The new system that has been implemented is unnecessary. What was wrong with the old system? There rarely were lines to wait in, and students did not have to choose between class and their love and loyalty to Jayhawk basketball.
The athletic department has crossed the line. Students need to be a much higher priority for basketball.
After all, without students to carry on the spirited customs, Kansas basketball would not be the longstanding tradition that it is today.

Homeless deserve our concern
Many Americans, including myself, have the luxury of avoiding the homeless. Like others, I have crossed the street to keep from walking past people who appear to be homeless and might ask me for spare change. Another way to avoid the homeless issue is to ignore the truth about it. Americans can't afford this ignorance if they care about their future.
GUEST COMMENTARY
Concern for the future means concern for children, who account for increased numbers of the homeless. U.S. Census statistics for 2000 indicate that children account for 40 percent of the 31.1 million American poor. These children are usually in families headed by single parents, mostly mothers, who often are domestic violence victims. (National Coalition for the Homeless, 2004)
Families are the fastest-growing part of America's homeless population. When politicians and voters talk about protecting family values do they have homeless families in mind?
PETER SCHRODER
Since Sept. 11, more Americans express respect for military veterans. Some may not know veterans make up a significant portion of the homeless: 33 percent of the male homeless population, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2004. How real is our patriotism when so many of those who served lack basic human needs?
Fewer still want to believe that many homeless people work. The "just
RAY PENCE opinion@kansan.com
world" theory is often used to explain homelessness and other misfortunes. Its proponents see a world where people get what they deserve: prosperity is a result of hard work and failure is due to laziness. The theory obviously doesn't apply to children, but many people insist homeless adults cause their own problems through sloth.
The facts tell a different story. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 44 percent of homeless people worked for pay in the past month, with 20 percent of that number in jobs with a duration of at least three months.
Attributing mental illness to the majority of homeless people is another factual error. At most, seven percent of mentally ill homeless people have a condition that could be handled best by institutionalization. America has a long, mostly successful, tradition of rehabilitating people with disabilities so they can work and live independently in communities. History shows that such programs are cost-effective investments, and that institutions do far more harm than good. Releasing people from mental hospitals during the 1950s and 1960s did not cause the rise in homelessness starting in the 1980s; declining incomes and housing shortages did, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless, 2004.
Homelessness is more of a social problem than a personal one. Some won't agree, clinging to the American celebration of individualism.
Reforms can alleviate and minimize these problems. President Bush wants to go further and eliminate homelessness during this decade — perhaps a surprising goal for a conservative president, but a worthy one.
Pursuing Bush's goal requires taxpayer money. We can be negative and call this "throwing money at problems," or we can be positive and invest in people who will themselves become taxpayers. In addition to this investment, America needs what Martin Luther King, Jr. called a "revolution of values." Stigmatizing the homeless and wishing them away is easier, but less selfishness and more interdependence in America will lead to fewer homeless.

Subsidizing perpetuates problem
I was going to drop the homeless issue, but Ron Knox's article "Chess 24/7" (Lawrence Journal-World, Oct. 11) is an opportunity too good to pass up. So I'm back for a second round. Seldom does an article reinforce the points of one of my columns so well.
FRESH ARRAH
Ron Knox's article discussed the plight of two homeless men, both convicted felons with substance abuse problems. One of the men admitted he'd had a job and a place to live with a relative but chose the street because a job and a housed existence "felt like I was still in prison." So it's not as if he has "no place else to go." Nor is it accurate to say that the homeless are just like everybody else, unless everybody else is a skid row wino.
FRESH ARKAH
ARRAH NIELSEN
opinion@kansan.com
It's telling that able-bodied English speaking Americans claim that housing and jobs can't be found while illegal non-English speaking Mexicans manage to find both and send money back to their families in Mexico.
I'm sure many of the homeless didn't exactly have a Leave it to Beaver-type childhood. But society can't suspend the rules that everyone else lives by for every person who had an unhappy childhood. Encouraging patterns of responsible behavior can go farther to help the needy than the most generous set of welfare benefits.
I've seen numerous panhandlers bearing signs claiming that they are disabled
However well-intentioned homeless advocates may be, their outreach activities are ineffective. The Alternative Spring Break office hosts a trip to Washington, D.C., through the National Coalition for the Homeless where students live on the street for two days and pretend to be homeless. This activity accomplishes nothing of value and is probably more meaningful to participants than to the homeless. The homeless need practical help, not some kid from Leawood pretending to be a hobo.

Expanding benefits to the homeless and demanding nothing in return is counterproductive because it encourages homelessness. That's why "progressive" communities such as Boulder, Colo., San Francisco and Austin, Texas with overly generous benefits have burgeoning homeless populations. Subsidize anything and you can expect more of it. That includes homelessness
Step 13, a homeless shelter in Denver founded by a former homeless alcoholic, Bob Cote, boasts a rehabilitation rate of 35 percent — higher than any government-run shelter. Residents of Step 13 may stay as long as they need to but are required to work or attend school, submit to random drug tests and pay rent. Says Cote, "Without individual responsibility, human dignity and well-being can't be restored."
If moral indignation and no-strings-attached charity were solutions to homelessness, the problem would have been solved long ago. Indiscriminate giving encourages those preferring freeloading to work, not to develop the skills that will get them off the street. We can't force people to behave responsibly, but we don't have to subsidize their self-destructive behavior.

MRC: Center could open as soon as May or June of 2006
Eakin said the University waited as long as it could to find another donor. The University was in the midst of the major fundraising plan, KU First, when the idea for a new MRC was conceived.
"We have thought there was a pretty good chance," Eakin said.
He said some students working with the Endowment Association came close to finding donors, but the state of the economy didn't help the cause.
The committee is currently working on a contract with Gould Evans, which will be the architecture firm to design the center. Gould Evans has designed many other projects on campus, such as the Underground, Eaton Hall and the Kansas Union.
Warren Corman, the University architect, sketched out a schedule for the new MRC. He said the contract negotiations with the architecture firm would be finished in the next few weeks.
The design process would
take about eight months to complete, and construction would take another year. If construction goes well, the center could open as early as May or June of 2006.
The new center will have an entrance on the fourth floor of the Union. The MRC will be about 7,000 square feet, which is 180 percent larger than the current building located between the Military Science Building and Anschutz Library.
"I hope people will notice it more." Crain said.
The building, as it stands now, is insufficient, said Dominique Crain, Olathe freshman. She said unless students were involved with the center's programs, they wouldn't realize it was there. She hoped the new building would be different.
StandingBear said she hoped the new center would bring in students who hadn't used it before.
"People think they have to be a minority to be multicultural," she said. "It's open to everyone."

BAGHDAD, Iraq — In their boldest and deadliest ambush yet, insurgents waylaid three minibuses carrying U.S.-trained Iraqi soldiers heading home on leave and massacred about 50 of them — forcing many to lie down on the ground and shooting them in the head, officials said yesterday.
Some accounts by police said the rebels were dressed in Iraqi military uniforms.
Insurgents attack Iraqi soldiers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ed on an Islamist Web site attributed the attack to followers of Jordanian-born terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The killing of so many Iraqi soldiers — unarmed and in civilian clothes — in such an apparently sure-footed operation reinforced American and Iraqi suspicions that the country's security services have been infiltrated by insurgents.
Elsewhere, a U.S. diplomat was killed yesterday morning when a rebel-fired rocket or mortar shell crashed into the trailer where he was sleeping at an American base near the Baghdad airport, the U.S.
A claim of responsibility post-
Embassy announced.
Edward Seitz, 41, an agent with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, was believed to be the first U.S. diplomat killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. Al-Jazeera television reported yesterday that the militant Islamic Army of Iraq claimed responsibility for the attack.

FLU: More vaccine should be ready in Januarv
Roderick Bremby, KDHE secretary, said there is a common misconception that there would not be enough vaccination units for all people in the high risk priority group.
"We urge people to be patient," he said. "We hope that everyone in the risk group will get one. There is no need to panic."
Though there may not have been enough for everyone in Lawrence on Saturday, more vaccine would become available in January, Bremby said.
And health authorities are still
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
In doing this, local clinics and pharmacies wanted to be relieved of daily phone calls regarding the vaccine. Risk group members can call 843-0721. According to a news release from the health department, the line will be open
"All Douglas County has to do is make one phone call," Martin said.
learning, he said. It's only been 19 days since the Food and Drug Administration announced that no influenza vaccinations would be distributed from Chiron, one of the two influenza vaccine providers for the United States.
The KDHE has set up a phone number for high risk group members to call to find out where more vaccines are available, Martin said.
Douglas County's Flu-X clinic was one of ten originally scheduled throughout the state. Six were canceled because of the shortage. Other clinics were held in Shawnee, Saline and Crawford counties.
Bremby said information acquired from the clinics would be evaluated later today by the state and county health departments.
The clinics were originally scheduled to be a state-wide
exercise for mass immunization. Bremby said the flu immunizations were to imitate crisis of disease outbreaks or situations like biochemical warfare.
Loree Cordova, LawrenceDouglas County medical consultant and health officer, said in case of a crisis situation, clinics like the one at Free State High School would happen throughout the city.
Martin said sites for immunization would be at location with large gymnasiums like both Free State and Lawrence high schools and at the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University.

Soccer misses Big 12 title
'Hawks denied first championship after split with Aggies, Longhorns
BY KELIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
Kansas senior goalie Meghan Miller shut out Texas A&M and Texas collectively for 198 minutes, but Texas senior forward Kelly Wilson scored a game-winning goal in double overtime yesterday to keep the Jayhawk soccer team one victory shy of its first Big 12 Championship.
The Jawhays defeated Texas A&M 1-0 on Friday, but Wilson's goal, scored with just under two minutes to play in double overtime, gave the Longhorns a 1-0 victory over Kansas.
The Jayhawks now need a win on Friday against Iowa State to tie Texas A&M for the Big 12 regular season title. Game time is set for 3 p.m. at the
Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

defense kept the game close despite Texas (11-5-1, 6-3-1 Big 12) dominating the first period of the game, outshooting Kansas 12-3. Miller made seven saves for the match; including four in the first half.
with just 1:59 remaining in double overtime, the Jayhawks were looking at their first tie of the season, but Wilson received a pass from Carrie Schmit, made her way past three Kansas defenders and fired a shot past Miller, clinching the victory for Texas.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
NORMAN, Okla. — When a team has one Heisman Trophy winner, an impressive freshman making a bid for one of his own, the opposing team needs to be at full strength to have a fighting chance.
At first, it looked like Kansas was going to hang tough and give the Oklahoma Sooners a hard time. Then it happened. And kept happening.
Injuries
32
32
If the injury to Randle was not enough to slow down the Jayhawks, then that was accomplished with the loss of junior cornerback Theo Baines.
In the first quarter sophomore running back John Randle hobbled off the field. He returned, but he took part in far fewer olans than he normally does.
After a scoreless first quarter, OU got on the board first. Quarterback Jason White led a 91-yard touchdown drive, capped off by a 61-yard pass from White to Mark Clayton. With 14:14 left before the half, was up 7-0.
That drive gave Oklahoma a lead Kansas would never take away. It also ended Baines' day, as he never returned from his injury. His absence allowed the Sooners to easily throw downfield, taking advantage of junior reserve corners Ronnie and Donnie Adami.
"It's real tough when one of your top players go down," senior strong safety Tony Stubbs said. "The guys behind him have to step up and make plays."
Against Kansas State, Baines was forced to leave the game early and was seen icing his knee on the bench for most of the game. While the Kansas team has a policy of, not discussing injuries, it appeared that Saturday's injury was once again to Baines' leg.
Oklahoma accumulated almost 300 of its 389 passing yards with Baines out of the game. All four of the Sooners' touchdown passes came after Baines left the game.
While Oklahoma scored first, Kansas did not stay down long. Just 33 seconds after Oklahoma's scoring drive, Kansas drove 80 yards in just two plays. An unsuccessful rush by Randle set up sophomore Adam Barmann to take advantage of blown coverage and go down the field.

Jason White returns to Heisman form

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
Stopping the Oklahoma running attack was clearly a priority for Kansas on Saturday.
The Jayhawks put up a good effort, holding freshman running back Adrian Peterson to 21 yards in the first half.
What Kansas did not do was stop last year's Heisman Trophy winner Jason White, who threw for 389 yards and
"Kansas was determined early to take the running game away, but he made some great throws and some great plays and we were just on the verge of making some others," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "He still hung in there late and still pounded the ball some."
four touchdowns. Oklahoma has featured a balanced offensive attack this season. But the Sooners were able to fall back on their passing game when the ground game sputtered.
White's four touchdowns were
bombs, as he connected on touchdown for 61.41 and 69 yards. His final touchdown toss of the day was from eight yards out. Those long-yardage laws deflated the lajhayw defense.
"We're giving up some big plays that are hurting us a little bit," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said.
Those big plays enabled the Sooners to break the game open and improve to 7-0 on the season.
Several receivers played a part in Oklahoma's latest win. Nine receivers
White's favorite target was senior Mark Clayton, who caught five balls for 112 yards including a 61-yard touchdown, to give Oklahoma a 7-0 lead.
"I'm happy with whatever we're doing to put points on the board and winning in the end," White said. "I don't care if I throw it two times or 20. It doesn't matter to me."

'Fab Four a rarity to remember
Growing up a Michigan basketball fan, there was never a tougher season to watch than the 1994-95 campaign.
If your appetite as a Jayhawk basketball fan will only be satiated by a national championship this season, consider an example that should put matters into perspective.
Just three years earlier, coach Steve Fisher brought in the greatest recruiting class ever, known as the "Fab Five": Chris Webber, Jimmy King, Jalen Rose, Ijuwan Howard and Ray Jackson.
After two years, Webber bolted to be the top pick in the 1993 NBA Draft. The following June, Howard and Rose followed suit. that left King and Jackson—i.e. "the other guys" of the five.
That team wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the three previous teams that made the Final Four twice and the Elite Eight in 1994. King and Jackson combined to average more than 30 points per game, but the Wolverines were ousted by Western Kentucky in the first round of the 1995 NCAA Tournament. I cried.
All that Kansas fans have to do is look at that example, and if they're not already appreciative, it will make them much more thankful for this year's senior class. Wayne Simien, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee have all had their highs and lows, but they all have one big key in common.
These four will also benefit from great timing. College basketball as a whole will be down this year. Despite what any of the "experts" say, the only teams with solid returning cores from a year ago are Kansas, North Carolina and Georgia Tech.
Langford has shown that he can recover from injuries and be the same player he always was. Miles has answered questions of his shooting ability by simply winning games, and Lee confirmed that he made the right decision to with basketball, not football.
No matter what happens this season, they did it the right way.
Simien has proven that he can finish an entire season.
The one thing most fans should remember about this foursome is how they overcame their critics individually.
Over the past decade, the level of play in the NBA has taken a significant downward turn as a result of high school studs, such as former Kansas signee DeShawn Stevenson, thinking they have what it takes to make the jump to the pros, with few success stories. In turn, the lower talent level and lower scores have cost the NBA a large chunk of its fan base.
Is Kansas' senior class the greatest class ever recruited? Heck no. Not by a longshot.
Also, on a lesser scale, college basketball has taken a hit as well. Anyone who follows the college game knows that most of the top prospects can usually only be depended on to stay in school for a year or two before the big payday is too much to keep them from leaving.
If the Jawhays are able to leave St. Louis with a national championship in April, it could be the last time, ever, that a team with a senior class like this one wins a title. But don't allow that scenario to be the only one in which this season will be considered a success.
In a time where young basketball stars use college as a springboard into the pros, the Kansas senior class is a welcomed rarity.
But it is one that could be remembered more than any other because it is the last of a dying breed. So appreciate the four seniors for their basketball contributions while they're here, because you may never see anything like this again.

Docking helpsteam finish sixth place in tournament
Sophomore Tyler Docking fired two rounds in the 60s to help the Kansas men's golf team finish sixth in a 16-team field at the Nelson-Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., this weekend.

Docking got off to a quick start, shooting rounds of 68 and 69 to begin the tournament. He finished in a tie for fourth place individually after a final round score of 70.
PARKS STATE UNIVERSITY
"The course played difficult again today," said
Kansas coach Ross Randall. "I was impressed with Tyler Docking's performance this weekend, but as a team, we haven't played our 'A-game' yet."
Sophomore Gary Woodland returned to the Jayhawks lineup after suffering a back injury that kept him out of the past tournament. After a first round 75, he came back and shot rounds of 69 and 68 to finish in a tie for 16th with a three-round total of 212.
New Mexico State won the tournament as a team after shooting a three-round total of 830. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas finished second with a 835 three-round total, while Georgia State finished third with a 837 three-round total.
Senior Kevin Ward had a rough start with an opening round of 76. Ward then posted back-to-back scores of 69 and 71 in the second and third rounds, Ward and sophomore Barrett Martens finished in a tie for 37th. Senior Andrew Price finished with a three-round total of 223 to place in a tie for 65th.

Dolphins score first victory over injury-plagued Rams
MIAMI — The Miami Dolphins finally gave their fans reason to celebrate, combining a polished offensive performance with solid defense for their first victory this season, 31-14 over the St. Louis Rams.
FOOTBALL
After enduring the worst start in their 39-year history, the Dolphins took out their frustration on the Rams, who had at least five players injured Sunday. Much-maligned quarterback Jay Fiedler threw for two touchdowns, embattled coach Dave Wannstedt made some risky calls that paid off and Miami held the Rams' explosive offense in check.
Chris Miller/KANSAN
The Dolphins, the last NFL team to win this season, improved to 1-6. St. Louis (4-3) had won three in a row.
Fiedler, a frequent target of boos, heard none as he went 13-for-17 for 203 vards.
He shrugged off five sacks and threw touchdown passes of 42 yards to Randy McMichael and 71 yards to Chris Chambers.
The conservative Wannstedt, his job in jeopardy, took some uncharacteristic gambles to keep St. Louis guessing. A 48-yard pass by receiver Marty Booker set up the game's first score, and Miami also pulled off a fake punt and tried a halfback pass.
The Dolphins scored four touchdowns, matching their total for the first six games.

Mizzou's winning streak ends
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With Missouri's defense focusing on tailback Vernand Morency, it was quarterback Donovan Woods who made the plays that rallied Oklahoma State to a come-from-behind win.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Down 17-0 late in Saturday's first half, the Cowboys (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) came back for a 20-17 victory that ended Missouri's nine-game home winning streak and handed the Tigers their second straight loss. Oklahoma State moved up two spots in Sunday's poll, to No. 20.
more than three minutes to play, he connected on a 27-yard pass to his brother, D'Juan, the key play in the drive that set up Jason Ricks' 28-yard game-winning field goal. The kick culminated a 78-yard drive.
Still, it was Missouri (4-3, 2-2) that dominated early, grabbing a 17-0 lead with 54 seconds to play in the first half when Brad Smith connected with Sean Coffe on a 3-vard scoring pass.
Woods faked a手andoff to Morency early in the fourth quarter, then ran 34 yards untouched for a touchdown that tied the game at 17. Then, with just

the Woods brothers to get to the Missouri 12 with 12 seconds left in the half.
"That let us know we could move the ball." Donovan Woods said.
On Oklahoma State's next drive, the Cowboys tried a fake punt with the ball snapped to up-back Chase Holland, who passed to Prentiss Elliott. But just as Elliott was about to make the catch, Missouri's Jason Simpson jarred the ball loose, giving the Tigers the ball at the Oklahoma State 42 with 3:21 to go in the half.

Coaches pick Kansas as one of two teams to win Big 12
Big 12 Conference coaches selected Kansas and Oklahoma State as the preseason favorites to win the conference in basketball.
The Jayhawks and Cowboys both garnered 116 points and six first-place votes in the rankings, making it the first time in the conference's history that two teams have tied for the top spot.
"This is a league in which multiple teams have a chance to win the conference title," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "The Big 12 should be even more deep and talented this year."
Texas was third in the poll with 97 points, followed by Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa State, Texas Tech, Nebraska, Kansas State, Colorado, Texas A&M and Bavlor.
This season marks the sixth time in the nine-year history of the Big 12 that coaches have picked Kansas to win the conference championship.
The Jayhawks won the Big 12 title after being selected by the coaches in the 1997-98, 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.
Missouri finished in a tie for fifth place after being picked to win the conference last season.
Both Kansas and Oklahoma State return four starters from successful 2003-04 teams.
The Cowboys finished last season with a 31-4 record and a Final Four appearance.
They welcome back co-Big 12 Player of the Year John Lucas along with forwards Joey Graham and Ivan McFarlin, who all averaged more than 12 points per game.
Kansas returns seniors Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and sophomore J.R. Giddens from a team that finished 24-9 and reached the Elite Eight.
Texas and Oklahoma will also compete for the title, both returning three starters from teams that played in the postseason.
The preseason all-Big 12 team will be announced tomorrow.
"I think our league will be balanced," Self said. "I think there's going to be three, four or five teams that are perennial top-20 teams, and we could have as many as three or four in the top ten at the same time."

Tennis struggles in Tulsa
Skoda, Hommel slip in final event of the fall season
BY RANIU SHARMA

rsharma.INFO@KANSAN.COM
The Kansas women's tennis team struggled to a disappointing finish at the 2004 Wilson/ITA Regional Championships on Oct. 20 and 21 in Tulsa, Okla.
The Jawhacks' doubles pair of junior Christine Skoda and freshman Lauren Hommell fell in the second round on Friday.
The tandem was defeated by Colorado's Kendra Strandemo and Iessica Vanderdys, 8-1.
In the consolation bracket of the singles competition, Hommell lost to sophomore Ana Renda of Saint Louis University in a three-set match. 7-5, 4-6, 10-7.
Also, Skoda was defeated by junior Ewelina Skaza of Nebraska, 6-4, 6-2.
Mary Jane
Before Friday's losses, Skoda and Hommell advanced to the
round of 32 in doubles, ousting Jenna Hirdle and Outi Jarvinen of Arkansas-Little Rock, 8-4, but their early victory was the lone bright spot of the entire tournament for the Jayhawks.
PETER M. RENNIS
"We were really focused on the match," Skoda said.
Sophomores Brittany Brown and Ashley Filberth were also in action for Kansas on Thursday.
The sophomore duo was blanked by Arkansas-Little Rock's Rosario Negrete and Bindiva Parekh, 8-0.
In singles competition on Thursday, Colorado State junior Dasha Zhurin blasted past Skoda in straight-set fashion, 6-1, 6-2.
HOMMELL
Nebraska senior Gitte
Osterman, who is ranked 44th nationally in singles, defeated Thommell, 6-3, 6-1. Osterman went on to win the final of the event as the third seed.
Second-year Kansas coach
Amy Hall-Holt was disappointed to say the least.
"We as a team have a lot of work to do to prepare us for the spring." Hall-Holt said. "We are not playing at the level that we should be to be competitive in the Big 12."
Skoda shared her coach's disappointment.
"We have a lot to improve on," she said. "We'll use the off-season as a means to get better."

Chiefs run all over Falcons
Eight rushing touchdowns set NFL record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY. Mo. — Priest Holmes sprained his ankle early in the second half, so Derrick Blaylock scored the other half of Kansas City's NFL-record eight touchdowns rushing.
Holmes scored on runs of 1, 2, 2 and 15 yards during a 35-0 first-half blitz. He was stopped just a couple of feet short of what would have been his fifth TD run for the Chiefs (2-4).
Shredding what had been the NFL's leading defense against the rush, Holmes and Blaylock each scored four times on the ground Sunday in a stunning 56-10 rout of Atlanta.
Holmes, who set the NFL record last year with 27 touchdowns rushing, then left with a mild ankle sprain.
But all Holmes' injury did was get backup Blaylock into the flow. Blaylock, who had a 7-yard TD in the first half, immediately scored on a 1-yard run after Holmes was hurt. He added TD runs of 3 yards early in the fourth period and 2 yards with 1:59 to play in a game that also saw the Chiefs record a team-record 36 first downs.
Michael Vick's 32-yard run set up Jay Feely's 19-yard goal on Atlanta's first possession, then the Chiefs reeled off five straight touchdowns and stunned the visitors with a 35-3 halftime lead.
Holmes tied the NFL standard with four TDs rushing in one half. Those touchdowns also broke the record for most in a game against the Falcons (5-2), who came in leading the NFL with 74.5 yards rushing allowed per game.
It was Holmes' eighth game as a Chief with three or more touchdowns.
Pro LaDainian Tomlinson to 64 yards on 23 carries was gouged for 140 yards in the first half and 271 yards for the game. Blaylock had 90 yards on 19 carries.
The same Atlanta defense that last week held San Diego All-
Vick rushed for 62 yards on six carries, including 32 yards on his first drive, and was replaced in the fourth quarter by Matt Schaub.
The Falcons got their only touchdown when Allen Rossum returned a punt 75 yards in the third period.
The Falcons could have taken a quick early lead. But Vick was stopped on third down after failing to make good on a first-and-goal from the 9. Then the Falcons recovered Holmes' first lost fumble in almost a year deep in Chiefs territory, but were stopped on fourth-and-11 and Kansas City drove for its first touchdown.
The Chiefs' second touchdown came off Greg Wesley's interception of a tipped pass. On a fake reverse; the Chiefs got 35 yards on a screen pass to Holmes. Blaylock scored from the seven.
WHITE: 398 yards through the air doom Jayhawk defense
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
White completed 27 of his 44 passes. His 389 yards passing marked the first time this season that White threw for over 300 yards.
"He was right on the money today, but he's been like that all year," Oklahoma wide receiver Brandon Jones said. Jones caught four passes for 78 yards with a touchdown.
White's passing totals have been down compared to last year because of the increased success of running the football with freshman Adrian Peterson.
"When you have Adrian Peterson back there running the ball,you don't have as many chances." Jones said. "Jason finally had the chances today."
White burned the Jayhawk secondary, particularly after Kansas cornerback Theo Baines, who left the game with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
After Baines left in the second quarter, White passed for nearly 300 yards.
White said he was excited about his team's offensive potential.
"Today, they played the run the first half and tried to play the pass the second half. We still have room to improve in both areas." White said. "When it all comes together, it's going to be real good."

The loss, though heartbreaking, was not the worst thing that could have happened to the soccer team.
Friday's game was similar to yesterday's — scoreless at halftime.
By defeating Texas A&M, Kansas still gave itself a shot at a tie for the conference title.
The Aggies outshot Kansas 17-8 for the contest.
The Jayhawks took advantage of their opportunities, though, and scored the game's only goal in the 59th minute when senior forward Rachel Gilfillan recorded her seventh goal of the season.

Today's Birthday (Oct. 25).
Celebrate soon with a winter vacation that's traditional yet exciting. Then in the spring, when the workload is heavy, you'll have something nice to remember.
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Today is a 7.
The next few days may be rather stressful, as you attempt to find a compromise between where you are and where you want to be. This is a good thing. It's motivational.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
The first thing you realize is that you're already behind schedule. Don't let somebody else's rush situation mess with your equilibrium.
Todav is a 7.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Don't let enthusiastic friends distract you from important work. Although you'd much rather run and play, that could prove to be expensive.
HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Remind a person who's in a
panic that you have a structure in place to deal with this sort of situation. It will work well.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
Today is a 6.
Temptation backons, but you may not be able to follow it far. You have lots of other responsibilities.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today is a 7.
Figure out ways to build up your equity; it will come in handy the next time you're short of cash. Take care of what you have, and you can use it to generate more.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 6.
Today is a 6.
Watch out for arguments.
You're liable to be in a feisty mood: Usually you'd just go along, but now you'll probably put up a ruckus.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
Today is an 8.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 7.
After a few relaxing days, you're now going into a hectic phase. There's lots to be done, and quickly. Luckily, you're rested up by now, right?
Today is a 7.
Structure is important, even for a vagabond like your. You'll see just how important it is if you break the rules today. That's not a good idea.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a 7.
You're figuring out a way to do a job that needs to be done. But now somebody else's opinions have to be taken into consideration. If it's not one thing, it's another.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18). Today is a 7.
You're feeling rebellious, but if you're smart (and of course you are), you'll stifle. Sometimes it's better to keep your job than to show your utter contempt. If you really feel that way, get a new job first.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Today is a 9.
Print almost anything you need!
You'll find it easier to increase your income over the next few days. You won't have to take on any more work, but there might be more responsibility involved. No problem.

Sigma Kappa tip-toes past Alpha Chi Omega
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
---
Sigma Kappa players were eager to celebrate after defeating Alpha Chi Omega 12-6 in the women's intramural flag football final Friday night at Memorial Stadium.
Following Derby freshman Ashley Garvey's game-winning touchdown grab in overtime, a Sigma Kappa player yelled "It's time to start drinking!"
In the bleachers, half of the evenly divided 80 fans, mostly comprised of sorority sisters, screamed wildly.
Alpha Chi Omega, 7-3, was looking to avenge its loss to undefeated Sigma Kappa in the annual Delta Upsilon flag football tournament in September.
Lauren Henninger, Kansas City, Mo., senior and Sigma Kappa player, relished the free T-shirt awarded to the champions, after three years without winning the big game.
"It's about damn time," Henninger said. "But we knew we were going to win because we beat them in the DU tournament."
After scoring one touchdown aplee in the first half, both teams went scoreless in the second half and sent the game to overtime.
On Alpha Chi Omega's overtime possession, Garvey intercepted the ball in the end zone. She then caught a touchdown pass from Sigma Kappa quarterback Kat Meyer to win the game
back Kat Meyer to win the game "We all did really well," Garvey said. "We worked
together as a team."
Speedy Sigma Kappa quarterback Meyer boosted her team with numerous first down carries, including a long of 41 yards. Alpha Chi Omega's defense came up big at the end of regulation, stopping Meyer at the two vard line on fourth down.
Meyer came back in overtime with a run to the 5-yard line, setting up her game-winning pass to Garvey on fourth down.
"Their quarterback was the team, and we couldn't stop her," Jessica Herrera, Alpha Chi Omega player and Topeka senior, said. "It's frustrating."
Women from both sororities raucously rooted their teams on from the stands throughout the game, along with a few parents and other friends.
"I came to watch the best
football team at the University of Kansas," Alpha Chi Omega fan Chris Farris, Topeka senior said. "Or at least the best intramural women's team."
Lindsey Woerther, Alpha Chi Omega junior and hall vice president of fraternal relations, said the game was an opportunity for the sororites to showcase their athletic abilities.
"It's a really great way for people to see other aspects of sorority life," Woerther, a St. Louis, Mo., native said; "We have some great athletes in our chapter."
After the hard-fought game, both sororities had team pictures taken to remember playing at Memorial Stadium.
"Both the teams played our hearts out." Herrera said.

SOONER: Injuries prove too much to overcome for Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Barmann completed a careerlong pass to senior Brandon Rideau for 78 yards for a touchdown. The catch was also the longest of Rideau's career.
Kansas' only other points of the game came on a 43-yard field goal attempt at the end of the second quarter.
After a bad snap, Oklahoma's Blake Ferguson, senior punter, bobbled the ball, and ultimately kicked the ball to an offensive lineman. This drew an illegal touching penalty and gave Kansas the ball at the Oklahoma 36.
Kansas drove 10 yards in four plays, moving the ball to the 26. Senior kicker Johnny Beck kicked the field goal, and ran out the clock in the first half.
who played in last year's BCS Championship game will generate.
As lopsided as the score seems, it was not a rout for the entire game.
The stadium was quiet going into halftime. It was not shock, but it was the sort of quiet confidence that an undefeated team
The Jayhawks had stopped the run. They made timely stops. They were only trailing 14-10 at halftime.
"In the first half, the defense played unbelievable football," Barmann said. "Hats off to our defense because we were stopping them."
Oklahoma only mustered 13 yards on the ground in the first half. Freshman back Adrian Peterson had just 21, while the rest of his team lost 8.
"I thought our defensive coaches had an excellent game plan." Mangino said.
Peterson, who had rushed for 901 yards on the season coming into the game, was able to pass the 1000-yard mark in the fourth quarter with his 122 yard total.
"We're keeping them on the field too long," Mangino said.
The second half was all about Oklahoma. On the field for two-thirds of the third quarter, a quick, aggressive Kansas defense looked flat and tired in the fourth quarter.
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
Mangino's players seemed to agree that the defense was put in a tough position.
Overall, Kansas was outgained in all facets of the game. While recording just 256 yards of total offense, Kansas' defense gave up 507.
Penalties and turnovers also hurt the Jayhawks, on offense and defense.
Kansas had 12 penalties for 109 yards. Included in that total was a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct called on Mangino. Oklahoma had only nine flags for 70 yards.
"I cannot comment," Mangino said. "I'm not permitted to. I was told not to stand on the field, and I wasn't."
Kansas played both Barmann and junior quarterback Jason Swanson. Barmann was responsible for both of Kansas' interceptions, while Swanson accounted for Kansas' one lost fumble.
Ultimately, however, as Mangino pointed out, both the play he was disputing and his penalty ended up having no impact on the score of the game.
Oklahoma scored 21 points off of Kansas turnovers, generating touchdowns after all three. In addition, two of Oklahoma's six touchdown drives were sustained by Kansas turnovers.
James Moses, Oklahoma tight end, evades the tackle of Kansas linebacker Nick Reid. Reid recorded six solo tackles and assisted five others during the Javhawks' loss Saturday.
SOONERS 89
All was not negative for Mangino, on Saturday, however. After the game, he spent several minutes hugging players he knew and recruited to the Oklahoma program.
After all that, while walking into his locker room, he received a standing ovation from the thousands of Sooner fans who stuck around until the bitter end.
"This place is special to me," Mangino said. "I've said it before: I'm not trying to hide it. I enjoyed my time here. The people treated me great."
"OU still loves you," one fan said from high in the south endzone.
Game Notes
Official attendance for Saturday's game was 84,520 the most fans who have watched a Kansas game all season.
Also watching Saturday's game were members of the Orange Bowl Selection Committee. The Orange Bowl is this year's BCS Championship game. After the game they told one Oklahoma coach they would "see him in Miami."
Kansas went 14:04 seconds into the game before recording a first down. Overall, Kansas had just 11 first downs, compared to Oklahoma's 23.
Junior Greg Heaggans made his first appearance on the field since the game against Toledo on Sept. 11. Heaggans was arrested on suspicion of DWI on Sept. 16.

Hall mourns loss of friend
Ellsworth freshman beat the odds, outlived doctors' expectations

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jim Justin didn't tell a lot of people about his heart condition.
He just wanted to be a normal kid living a normal life. He did this well despite his diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, his mother, Louise
Grissinger, said. His disease enlarged his heart and caused vessels in his heart and lungs to become small, Grissinger said.
Justin, 18, died early Sunday morning because of complications of his disease less than a month before his birthday.
He was diagnosed at 13 and lived every day since then to the fullest,
Grissinger said. He had already lived more than two years longer than doctors initially predicted.
He was watching a movie Sunday morning with friends when he developed an attack that Grissinger said was similar to a

She said her son was at peace now. "He died a happy man," Grissinger said.
He was a resident of Ellsworth Hall and lived on the third floor in room 301. Friends said he was fun to have around. Nathan Jones, Wichita freshman, was one of the few people who knew about Justin's condition.
"He lived with what he was dealt,"
Jones said. "I admired the fact that he didn't want anyone to pity him."
Jones said a lot of people on the floor knew Justin because he was always playing Madden Football in the third floor lobby.
Justin usually chose the Chicago Bears, and always beat Jones.
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, said that Sunday night at a floor meeting grief counseling was available to students.

Avoid election lines with advance voting
With 10,000 new voters Douglas County officials anticipate longer lines
BY ANDY HYLAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
With Douglas County registered voters up 10,000 people from the beginning of the year to a total of 64,598 voters, the county election office has a few recommendations to avoid standing in long lines on Election Day.
Students registered in Douglas County may want to take advantage of advance voting options, said Marni Penrod, deputy clerk for elections of Douglas County.
Advance voting in person is available on the second floor of the Douglas
County Courthouse,
Massachusetts St
1100
The office will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. throughout the week, with extended hours until 8 p.m. tomorrow and Thursday. Advance voting in person will end at noon next Monday.
Penrod said that while advance voting by mail was still an option, it was probably too late to request an advance ballot by mail.
"I wouldn't recommend that to anybody at this point, because the likelihood that we can get your application, send you a ballot and have you get it back to us by Election Day is pretty small," she said.
Penrod said that voters could also go to their polling place and vote on Election Day. She said the polling place

Downtown regulations prohibit expansion
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSWAN STAFF WRITER
The owner of the Red Lyon Tavern wants a patio for his bar so drinkers can smoke and smokers can drink, but his bar just happens to be right in the heart of Lawrence's Downtown Historic District.
The Lawrence City Commission will discuss alternatives for a proposed storefront remodeling of the Red Lyon, 944 Massachusetts St., at tonight's commission meeting.
In the proposal, the glass windows at the front of the bar would be removed and replaced with metal bars. The two doors would be replaced by ornamental gates and the entryway would lead to an enclosed patio for customers to use as a smoking area.
The Historic Resources Commission denied the original proposal from Jerry
Neverve, owner of the Red Lyon, on Sept. 16. The proposal was denied because it did not meet the Secretary of Interior's Standards and downtown design guidelines.
A second wall would be constructed between the patio area and the inside bar. This wall would consist of a six-foot-wide doorway. The wall would have a wood panel at the bottom and
then the rest of the wall would be glass.
"I don't know if it will increase business. I don't know if it'll bring it back to where it was before," Neverve said. "I don't know if it will make any difference whatsoever, but we're in the hospitality industry. We're trying to make this as comfortable as possible for our customers."
The patio would allow people to sit down, enjoy their beverage and smoke a cigarette at the same time, Neverve said.
The Red Lyon was already remodeled once in January 2004 to make the front look better and to expand floor space for more people, Neverve said.

Simpson's Milli Vanilli redux
Blame it on the pain, yeah, yeah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — If Ashlee Simpson's stomach was upset Saturday night, imagine how she's feeling now.
Busted for a Saturday Night Live lip-synch gone awry, her manager-father said yesterday that his 19-year-old daughter used the extra help because acid reflux disease had made her voice hoarse.
"The whole situation was a bummer," Ashlee Simpson said in an interview on MTV's Total Request Live.
"Just like any artist in America, she has a backing track that she pushes so you don't have to hear her croak through a song on national television," Joe Simpson told Ryan Seacrest on Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. "No one wants to hear that."
He insisted it would be Ashlee's live voice alone during her appearance on NBC's Radio Music Awards last night. And he said she'd never used the extra help onstage before.
Simpson had performed her hit single *Pieces of Me* without incident earlier on
he whole situation was a bummer."
Ashlee Simpson
L“
SNL. When she came back a second time, her band started playing and the first lines of her singing *Pieces of Me* could be heard again.
She was holding her microphone at her waist at the time. Simpson looked momentarily confused as the band plowed ahead with the song and the vocal was quickly silenced.
A flustered Simpson made some exaggerated hopping dance moves, then walked off the stage.
She told TRL that she and her band didn't know what to do. "I think all of us went into a state of shock," she said.
The incident exposed what many consider an obvious secret: that some singers who appear onstage aren't singing live at all, or at least have their voices augmented by backing tracks. And it's happened before on Saturday Night Live, too, executive producer Lorne Michaels said.
"She was mortified and in her dressing room, but (producer) Marci (Klein) got her to come out for goodnights and explained that it wasn't the end of the world. It wasn't her fault," Michaels said.
"Every artist that I know in this business has had vocal problems at some time — from Celine on down," said Joe Simpson, also father of Jessica Simpson. "So you've got to do what you've got to do."
He said it was his decision to use the tapes when it became apparent that acid reflux disease had swollen Ashlee's vocal cords. After consulting Wayne Newton's doctor, she received a cori-tone shot to get her ready for the Radio Music Awards, he said.
It was the band's drummer who pushed the wrong button onstage, he said.
Michaels corroborated that, adding: "If she were a more seasoned performer then I think that she would've taken charge and said, 'No, let's start this over again.'"
To add to Ashlee's indignity yesterday, eBay.com was auctioning off her private cell phone number, which it said had been inadvertently, and briefly, posted on her Web site.

Footprints, located on the third floor of the Kansas Union, is offering students discounts on merchandise before the store's closing, probably in December. Pat Beard, director of building services for the KU Memorial Unions, said he didn't know what would replace it but that a mail copy service or an ice cream parlor were possibilities.
Union Footprints to close
Downtown store profits, discount store misses bottom line
BY AUSTIN CASTER

KANSAH STATE UNIVERSITY
The Footprints store in the Kansas Union wasn't quite the easy sell owner Mick Ranney originally thought.
"The Union store probably wasn't the best idea I've ever had." Rannev said.
The downtown location at 1339 Massachusetts St. will remain open.
Because of insufficient profits, the Footprints store on the third floor of the Kansas Union is going out of business.
The Union store will close the last day of classes this semester, Pat Beard, director of building services for the KU Memorial Unions, said.
He didn't know if there would be a new business already in place when students returned for classes in the spring.
Since the store in the Kansas Union opened a year ago, there had been about three or four sales each day. Ranney said.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
His lease will expire on Dec 31, Ranney said, but the store might close earlier, depending
on inventory.
He said because the store sold discount footwear — already 25 to 75 percent off — he would take an additional 10 percent off to move the stock.
"We're practically giving the stuff away." Ranney said.
Though sales in the Kansas Union store have been slow, the employees will all transfer back to the Footprints store on Massachusetts Street.
Business on the whole is still about $1 million each year, Rannev said.
Footprints hired Amanda Morley about a year ago, around the time the store in the Union opened, she said. Morley is the Union Footprints supervisor.
"It's just been slow from the beginning." Morley, former KU student, said. "We hoped it would pick up but it didn't."
She said she and other employees alternated between working at the store on Massachusetts Street and the store in the Kansas Union.
resources into our business store."
Footprints has a good relationship with the KU Memorial Unions, but it could not achieve the income level it needed, Beard said.
Each business in the Union has a weekly meeting with him to discuss what's going on, he said.
"It's a debate every day where we're going to work," Morley said. "We're putting our
"We try to make it a partnership, not just a landlord-tenant relationship." Beard said.
Beard didn't know what type of business would replace Footprints, but ideas include a mail copy service or an ice cream parlor. he said.
Each tenant at the Union pays a monthly rent, which varies business to business, Beard said.
Beard said the Union had been checking Listservs and asking unions at other universities what businesses had been successful for them.
To get a store in the Union, tenants make bids, competing against each other. The highest bidder will get the space, Beard said.

Bush and Kerry trade barbs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Both candidates step up harshness in criticisms of one another
PHILADELPHIA — Sen. John Kerry cited the war in Iraq yesterday as proof President Bush has "failed the test of being commander in chief." The Republican slammed his rival as "consistently and dangerously wrong" on national security matters.
In a race of ever-escalating rhetoric, the president also accused the Democratic challenger of "the worst kind of Monday-morning quarterbacking" on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But he fell silent on the disappearance of 377 tons of high explosives in Iraq, leaving it to aides to explain.
Polls in the major battleground states were so close that both camps had cause for optimism — and room for doubt. And with only eight days to go, there were signs that the field of competition might be widening.
Democrats fretted about
Hawaii and made plans to advertise to voters in the state that has never backed a Republican for president.
ly put it to use.
Polls showed a tightening race in Arkansas, a state the president won four years ago and the Democrats had virtually given up for lost this time. The president's high command was concerned about New Hampshire trending Kerry's way in the race's final days.
Supreme Court officials announced that Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, is undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer and is expected to return to work next week. The statement served as a reminder that the next president is likely to have more than one appointment to an aging court that is divided on abortion, gay rights and more.
Failure to secure the material was "one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration," the fourteen Massachusetts senator said in New Hampshire, his first campaign stop of the day.
Word of the disappearance of explosives from a military installation in Iraq was like a campaign gift to Kerry, and he quick-
Bush gave as good as he got. "On Iraq, my opponent has a strategy of pessimism and retreat," he said in Greeley, Colo. That was mere warmup, though.
He accused Kerry of "throwing out the wild claim that he knows where Osama bin Laden was in the fall of 2001 — and that our military had a chance to get him in Tora Bora."
That was a reference to Kerry's frequent assertion that the administration "outsourced" the job of hunting down bin Laden to Afghan warlords.
"This is an unjustified and harsh criticism of our military commanders in the field," Bush said.
Crime continues to drop, FBI says
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Every type of violent crime fell last year with one notable exception: Murders were up for the fourth straight year, according to an annual FBI report released yesterday.
After reaching a low point in 1999 of about 15,500 homicides, the number has crept up steadily since then to more than 16,500 in 2003.
there were 819 juvenile gang killings last year, compared with 580 in 1999.
That was a 1.7 percent increase from 2002 and a jump of more than 6 percent since 1999. Still, the latest figure was 29 percent lower than the homicides in 1994.
James Alan Fox, criminal justice professor at Northeastern University, said the recent rise in murders is partly traceable to an upsurge in urban youth gang violence. The FBI report indicates
"It's quite clear that at least in terms of homicide, the great 1990s crime drop is officially over and has been for some time," Fox said. "While this does not signal any epidemic of homicide in this country, we cannot ignore what has happened in the past few years."
Democrats, however, said the uptick in murders and the increase in juvenile gang slayings over the past four years show that much more needs to be done. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said more money is needed for gang prevention, the COPS program that provides grants for new police officers and other anticrime initiatives.
federal prosecution of gun crimes, arrest of more drug offenders and longer prison sentencing policies for repeat offenders.
The 1.4 million total violent crimes reported to law enforcement agencies in 2003 marked a 3 percent drop from the year before.
The Bush administration seized on the more positive numbers overall violent crime is down 3.1 percent since 1999 as evidence that its law enforcement policies are working.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said factors in the reduction include stepped-up
Despite the criticism, crime is no longer a hot political issue thanks to the long-term decrease. President Bush and Democratic challenger John Kerry rarely mention it in their campaign speeches and polls indicate few voters rank crime as a top concern facing the country.

EDITORIAL BOARD

University must address violence in larger picture
After the spike of reported violence on campus three weeks ago, many students and administrators discussed what should be done. Much of the discussion has focused on the responsibility for preventing crime is often with students who should lock their doors, watch their surroundings and drink in moderation, because there is only so much the administration can do.
But our culture of violence and fear obscures the urgent need to change attitudes regarding crime and violence. The University and all the members of its community must reevaluate their fear and challenge the attitudes that condone violence.
Yes, vigilance does prevent crime, especially when potential victims can outsmart would-be criminals. Measures such as lighting do dissuade criminal acts. But there is more that can be done.
The University desperately needs an honest reporting on and discussion of violent crime in its community. The spirit of the Clery Act, which requires the annual reporting of crimes on campus, is about raising awareness so universities can confront their crime problems and prospective students can decide to avoid violent campuses.
Most violent crime on campus is still out of sight. Rapes and assaults not reported within the framework of current statutes far outnumber reported violent crimes. Awareness is the first of many requirements to build a community that respects its individuals' rights.
Violent crime is a double terror. First, it's a terror on the victims, who we cannot blame for being so traumatized they cannot follow the dictum of the legal code requiring
immediate reporting. Second, it hurts the community, where everyone suffers, living in fear and spending time and resources to ameliorate the transgressions of its members.
Students and administrators must do more than recognize the size of the problem.
Punishment and more effective reporting, although effective in deterring some crime, are not truly effective in repairing our community's social fabric. Individuals who feel they can escape the view of the community will continue to rape and assault.
Measures such as the new camera security system on campus are only effective insofar as they prevent would-be criminals who know about them from committing crimes around the cameras (or adopting disguise).
Though a response is needed, such measures are only cosmetic approaches unless a larger problem is addressed. The University must create a comprehensive safety plan that honestly addresses and reports the bigger picture. It needs programs and measures that understand the problem of violence in our society and community.
The safety needs of students now is more important than the University's image for future recruitment.
Our society has taught many of its members that if their want — whether from anger, sexual desire or anything else — is great enough that they can transgress others. People must express their disgust for this attitude as well as discuss its devastating implications if the community is to take responsibility for its problems and change its ways.

Disability organizations need you
National and local organizations have contributed a great deal to the advancement of rights for people with disabilities by pushing for legal changes and acting as watchdog groups. Without these organizations, very few people with disabilities would be able to attain an equal education, go to college or obtain jobs.
NOT UNHEARD OF
One such local organization is AbleHawks, a recently resurrected group that seeks to increase awareness about disabilities and advocate for people with disabilities on campus.
"Ablehawks can provide a resource for students, faculty and other people with disabilities or with an interest in disabilities to learn about each other and share their experiences," said Zach Coble. AbleHawks president.
Much as some people would like to deny or ignore it, the University is not entirely accessible to people with disabilities. Students and faculty with disabilities regularly face barriers. In some situations — the buses on campus, for one, are not accessible — the University is at risk of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
P
AbleHawks will help make people aware of these problems on campus and advocate for improvements. However, it can't change things by itself. AbleHawks is still a new and small organization and needs student and faculty help to make progress on campus.
AbleHawks follows in the footsteps of successful organizations and seeks to continue furthering the advancements they have already made and apply them

Disability organizations, working in concert, helped push several bills, including the Americans With Disabilities Act, through Congress. The National Council on Disability wrote the first draft of the ADA. The National Organization on Disability and organizations for specific disabilities, such as the National Association of the Deaf, pitched in.
As a result, on July 26,1990,3,000 disability advocates looked on as President Bush signed the ADA into law.
The ADA is "the world's first comprehensive declaration of the equality of people with disabilities," President Bush said.
Deaf people can now get interpreters for plays, concerts, school board meetings, political rallies and recreational activities. They can also call other people using telephone relay services. People with mobility disabilities, with the help of lifts, ramps and elevators, can now access public transportation and buildings. Malls, restaurants, parks museums and other public places now have accessible bathrooms and parking spaces.
Because of these organizations' work, as well as their persistence in monitoring the enforcement of the ADA, people with disabilities have gained access to many parts of life previously inaccessible to them.
The ADA also makes it illegal to discriminate against job applicants on the basis of their disabilities, and requires employers to provide accommodations.
After the passage of the ADA, disability-oriented organizations have acted as watchdogs, helping people with disabilities when they face barriers in public spaces, education and the workplace.
You don't have to be disabled to participate in AbleHawks. Whether you have a disability, know someone with a disability, plan to work with people with disabilities, or just don't know anything about disabilities, you can still support AbleHawks.
Contact Zach Coble and go to the AbleHawks meetings. Listen. Speak up. Act. Help enable others to obtain an education here at the University. After all, students with disabilities pay the same tuition as you, so shouldn't they get the same access as you?
Help them make a difference on campus.

Swift Boat Veterans not credible
People all across the country are confused as to why the Swift Boats and POWs for Truth are coming out and attacking John Kerry now. Was he really the soldier he claims to be? Is he a fraud?
The more relevant question is: Why have the Swift Boat Veterans waited until now to question his bravery? Because they want to hurt him as much as they feel he hurt them.
John Kerry served in a swift boat in Vietnam. He won six medals, a bronze star, a silver star and three purple hearts. Kerry saved the life of another soldier by picking him up from the river and into his boat. He killed when the life of his crew was threatened, he chased a Vietnamese man who shot at his boat and killed him.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Kerry risked his life for his country, but was disillusioned at what the country was fighting for. Kerry came back after his stint in Vietnam determined to stop a war that he thought was wrong.
GUEST COMMENTARY
So he got together with an anti-war group and marched on Washington. He gave speeches at rallies and finally testified in front of Congress. Kerry talked about the horrors that he had heard from other soldiers. He painted a brutal
This is what the Swift boat veterans are really mad about. They feel betrayed by John Kerry.
picture of the Vietnam War to Congress and the American people.
This is what the Swift Boat Veterans are really mad about. They feel betrayed by John Kerry. They came home from a war and were spat on. They were called baby killers, and to them Kerry perpetuated that image of them. That is why the Swift Boat Veterans are attacking Kerry, not because of anything he did or didn't do in Vietnam.
So why don't they just come out and say what they are really mad about?
Because it would be very hard for anyone to understand how Kerry wronged them. They went to war with images of World War II still fresh in their minds, expecting to return to the states as heroes.
Instead they returned to a society opposed to a war that they fought in, and opposed to them for fighting in it. That was a double whammy to these soldiers, not only did they endure the hell of war but no one was grateful for the sacrifice. They killed and saw their brothers die only to be spat on by a bunch of hippies? That was hard for many soldiers.
There was Kerry, in front of Congress, perpetuating the negative attitude towards soldiers. All he wanted to do was to end the war. All he did was anger a lot of veterans. How could he do this to us? He is one of us? The dagger went straight to the heart.
Now it's 30 years later and Kerry is running for president boasting his war record, and the Swift boat veterans for "truth" are saying that he is a fraud. We need to ask ourselves if we can trust them as a reliable source.

A wounded Iraqi boy looks on following a bomb explosion yesterday near a U.S.-Australian military convoy in central Baghdad, Iraq, killing at least three people and injuring several, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said. The bomb was targeting the U.S. convoy when it detonated in the Karrada neighborhood of Baghdad.
Iraqi insurgents obtain unguarded explosives
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria - The U.N. nuclear agency warned yesterday that insurgents in Iraq may have obtained nearly 400 tons of missing explosives that can be used in the kind of car bomb attacks that have targeted U.S.-led coalition forces for months.
Diplomats questioned why the United States didn't do more to secure the former Iraqi military installation that had housed the explosives, which they say posed a well-known threat of being looted. Others criticized the United States for not allowing full international inspections to resume after the March 2003 invasion.
The White House played down the significance of the missing weapons, but Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry accused President Bush of "incredible incompetence" and his campaign said the administration "must answer for what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq."
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei reported the disappearance to the U.N. Security Council yesterday, two weeks after he said Iraq told the nuclear agency that 377 tons of explosives had vanished from the Al-Qaqaaf facility south of Baghdad as a result of "theft and looting ... due to lack of security."
Al-Qaqsa is near Youssifiyah,
an area rife with ambush attacks.
"The most immediate concern here is that these explosives could have fallen into the wrong
Melissa Fleming IAEA spokeswoman
An Associated Press Television News crew that drove past the compound yesterday saw no visible security at the gates of the site, a jumble of low-slung, yellow-colored storage buildings that appeared deserted.
"The most immediate concern here is that these explosives could have fallen into the wrong hands," IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said.
The agency first placed a seal over Al-Qaqaa storage bunkers holding the explosives in 1991 as part of U.N. sanctions that ordered the dismantlement of Iraq's nuclear program after the Gulf War.
IAEA inspectors last saw the explosives in January 2003 when they took an inventory and placed fresh seals on the bunkers. Fleming said.
Nuclear agency experts pulled out of Iraq just before the U.S.-led invasion later that month, and have not yet been able to return for general inspections despite ElBaradei's repeated urging that they be allowed to finish their work. Although IAEA
inspectors have made two trips to Iraq since the war at U.S. requests, Russia and other Security Council have pressed for their full-time return — so far unsuccessfully.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said U.S.-led forces searched the Al-Qaqa facility after the invasion.
"Coalition forces were present in the vicinity at various times during and after major combat operations," he said. "The forces searched 32 bunkers and 87 other buildings at the facility, but found no indicators of WMD. While some explosive material was discovered, none of it carried IAEA seals."
IAEA analysts since have viewed satellite photographs of Al-Qaqaa, and only two storage bunkers showed damage that may have occurred in bombing during the war, an agency official said. The other bunkers were intact, and the photos showed no evidence of a crater that would have been created if bombing runs had caused the explosives to blow up, the official said.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the administration's first concern was whether the disappearance constituted a nuclear proliferation threat. He said it did not.
But diplomats and analysts questioned why the U.S.-led coalition, which administered Iraq until June, and the U.S.-led multinational force, which is still in charge of security, did not do more to secure Al-Qaqaa.

Peak times for voting is early in the morning, lunch time and after work, she said, with breaks in mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
"Students can usually plan around those times if they have a more flexible schedule," she said.
She also said that first-time voters in Douglas County would need to bring a form of identification with them when they voted if they did not show it when they registered.
Katie Wolff, Lenexa senior and chairwoman of the Student Legislative Awareness Board. said that if students were registered outside of Douglas County,
they could contact their county clerk or the secretary of state's office in their state to see how to get an advance ballot.
Wolff said time was running short, so it would be best to do that as soon as possible.
She also encouraged voting in advance.
"I definitely think that not too many students know about advance voting," she said. "It's really a nice option."

RED LYON: Owner wants to appeal to smokers

It was clear that the proposal for additional changes to the Red Lyon did not meet guidelines, said Virgil Dean, historian and member of the Historic Resources Commission. Not that all changes are bad, but the Resources Commission and the City of Lawrence have traditionally tried to protect and preserve a uniformed store look in Downtown Lawrence, he said.
According to one of the design guidelines, "Storefronts may be recessed or extended slightly (typically, 3 inches to 9 inches) to emphasize the feeling of containment and provide architectural variety."

The Red Lyon is located in Lawrence's Downtown Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the Red Lyon, is not listed as a contributing structure in the district. Even though the building is not a historic structure, officials said the changes to the storefront would change the Downtown environment.

GRUBER: Struggle helps runner find success
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Then Gruber went out on a sour note. In his final season, he placed seventh in the 1,500 meters at both the Big 12 Championships and the NCAA Outdoor Championships. At the NCAA meet, he finished one second behind the winner and felt let down: He wanted to bring Kansas a first-place medal in his final race.
After graduating with an undergraduate business degree in May 2002, he cut his long hair, packed up his medals and quietly stepped away from the track. Information said he was burned out.
"I hated running," he said. "I just didn't want to do it. I was fed up."
He tried to live like a normal American. He sat on the couch, watched TV, ate potato chips, went out with friends on Saturday night and gained weight. He and the girl he'd been dating for seven months, Courtney Deutsch, also a Kansas distance runner, split up.
Gruber kept in touch with Doug Clark, Kansas assistant track coach. While Clark would've liked Gruber to keep running, he told Gruber that the decision was up to him.
Gruber thought about it; throwing away the years of sweat and sacrifice.
After two months away from the track, Gruber's perspective gradually changed.
"Before, I felt a lot of pressure," he said. "I wanted to please everybody else. I realized that I needed to do it for myself."
By and by, the urge to get back into the sport tugged at him. Every now and then, he'd find himself lacing up his running shoes and racing out the door for a run on the pavement.
He decided to give track another shot, assuring himself that things would be different. He gave Clark a call.
"Once I realized that running was just part of my life and not all of my life, I could handle victory better and accept defeat easier," he said.
***
Clark told Gruber that if he wanted to come back,he would need goals. So they sat down and talked.
Clark remembers being captivated by Gruber the first time he saw him, when Gruber was a sophomore and Clark was the distance coach at Tulsa in the spring of 1999. Gruber ran the lead-off 1,200-meter leg of the distance-medley relay at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
"Charlie handed off in the lead for Kansas," Clark said.
"And I thought, "That guy's good. I wouldn't mind coaching him.' I remember that vividly."
Clark said Gruber's biggest obstacle was believing in his potential. At 26 years old, Gruber is currently ranked 33rd in the world in the 1,500-meters by the International Association of Athletics Federations.
Clark said Gruber was capable of running the mile, about 1,600 meters, in under 3:50. No American has done that since Jim Spivey 13 years ago.
When the two sat down together, they talked bigger than they had before. The 2004 Olympics was, for the first time, a concrete goal. And Gruber, for the first time, bought into it.
"Once he and I started setting goals for him, he started believing," Clark said.
***
The next step was training like a world-class runner.
Gruber needed to step up his intensity, meaning more two-a-day workouts, increased mileage and added weightlifting.
"I basically said, 'I'm either going to do it all the way or not at all,'" Gruber recalled. "No half-assing it."
He also signed on as a volunteer assistant coach for the Kansas cross country team and ran with the team during workouts. And he'd get in an eight-mile rub with Clark once or twice each week to discuss his progress and make plans. That tradition continues today.
"It's a good opportunity for us to chat and make sure we're taking care of business," Clark said. "Although usually by the end I'm not doing much talking because I'm breathing pretty hard."
Gruber also enrolled in graduate business school at the University, mostly to fill the time when he wasn't running. And he got back with Deutsch.
"I got a better balance in life," Gruber said, "Which enabled me to become a better person as well as a better runner."
When he stepped back onto the track in the spring of 2003, Gruber knew he needed to improve. Although he had come close to breaking 3-40 in the 1,500 meters — just a little over 100 meters short of a mile — on many occasions since he ran 3:41.2 in 2000, he had always fallen short. He hoped that by the USA Outdoor Championships in college, he would finally do it.
In the first few months Gruber didn't break 3:40. Frustration was settling in.
Then at the Oregon Track Classic in May, against stiff competition, he felt it. Figures ran
through his head as he neared the finish: 3:37, 3:38. His time had to be down there somewhere.
Gruber crossed the line and looked up at the posted results: 3:39.7. Not what he expected, but those three-tenths of a second made all the difference. The 10-ton weight of 3:40 melted off his back like an ice cube in the rain.
At the USA Championships, after 10 months of hard work, Gruber figured he was ready to place in the top three. He ran 3:45.3 and crossed the line in fifth.
"I was disappointed," he said. "But to go from almost quitting to fifth in the country in 10 months, that's not too bad."
But he wasn't producing Olympic stuff, either. Not yet.
- *
On a cold, snowy February afternoon in Indianapolis, out of nowhere, Gruber won the four-kilometer race at the USA Cross Country Championships to start the 2004 season.
He'd go on to knock two seconds off his 1,500-meter time when he ran a 3.57.2 in June at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore.
Eugene, Orca
Then came the Olympic Trials 1,500 meter final in Sacramento, Calif., on July 18.
He finished second.

TRACK & FIELD
But he wasn't able to celebrate. He still had to meet the international qualifying mark, the Olympic A standard, of 3:36.2. He had to do it by the Aug. 9 deadline.
Gruber said he wasn't worried. "I truly believed I could do it." he said.
h, he said.
Within days, Gruber boarded a plane for Europe to race against some of the world's best. Two days after arriving, he ran 3:38.0 in Stockholm, Sweden. Four days later, he clocked a blazing 3.34.7 in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium.
He called Deutsch in Lawrence to tell her the news: He'd made the Olympics.
***
The top five runners from each heat and the next nine fastest from any heat would qualify for the semifinals. The times from first two heats had been slow, so Gruber figured that he had a good shot at advancing with a quick time if he didn't place in the top five.
The Gruber contingent in Athens consisted of Clark and a number of close friends and family who had stuck with him through thick and thin.
They watched from the stands as Gruber stepped to the line in lane two against 13 competitors in the third and final heat of the 1,500 meter preliminaries on Aug.20.
Gruber and Clark had formulated a plan beforehand. Gruber was to hang near the middle of the pack for half the race, then make a move.
But he had to be prepared for anything. Something strange happens to runners under the glare of a million flashbulbs. They shove, trip and trash talk. Sometimes everybody charges to the lead, other times nobody will take it.
former KU distance unner Charlie Gruber runs at the Anschutz Pavilion last Wednesday afternoon. The five-time All-American and Olympian plans to defend his USA 4K cross country championship in February.
The starter fired the gun, and the race got off to a sluggish start. Nobody wanted to push the pace. Gruber couldn't afford to get caught against the rail in a slow race.
He boldly sprinted past everyone and took the lead in the first lap. Sometimes you have to stick your neck out for that brass ring.
Gruber maintained his lead as the pack salivated off his shoulder. Clark checked his watch after the second lap: 2:00.3. Gruber was on a 3:45 pace.
Brian Lewis/KANSAN
Railbirds say that underdogs who take the lead early rarely win the race. But if he could just push the tempo, he'd have a shot.
A group of runners passed Gruber in the third lap. Michael East of Great Britain took the lead and drove the race into a fury. Gruber fought to keep up. With 300 meters left, Clark checked his watch again: He was still on pace to advance.
Gruber headed into the final turn. Somebody clipped his heel from behind. He stumbled. By the time he regained balance and got back to speed, his race was finished.
Gruber finished in ninth. His time: 3:41.7. The semifinal qualifiers were posted. The slowest qualifying time was 3:41.1.
Two months later, Gruber doesn't know who tripped him up. He doesn't care. He's got other things to worry about.
After getting back from Athens, he and Deutsch bought
a house in Lawrence, using the money from his Nike sponsorship and her job as logistics manager at the local Target. One day Gruber brought her to the new house and asked her to marry him.
Since earning his master's degree last spring, Gruber still volunteers with the cross country team, helping out however he can.
He took three weeks off after the Olympics and is now building his mileage to his normal volume in the 70s.
He has a title to defend at the USA Cross Country Championships in Vancouver, Wash., in February. And he hopes to reach the finals in the World Championships next summer in Helsinki, Finland.
"You have to believe in your ability to do things you haven't done before," Gruber said. "You can't limit yourself."

Firing of Florida coach effective at season's end
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Ron Zook was fired yesterday but will finish the season, a university source said.
The move comes after Florida lost 38-31 on Saturday to Mississippi State, which was just 1-5 entering that game.
It was Florida's 13th loss in three seasons under Zook, hired in 2002 to replace Steve
Spurrier, who led Florida to a national championship in 1996.
Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley told The Gainesville Sun that he and school president, Bernie Machen, met Sunday, then informed Zook of the decision yesterday morning,the newspaper reported on its Web site.
Calls to Foley by The Associated Press were not immediately returned. The Associated Press

NORTH: Balance of power tips heavily toward Big 12 South
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
have a good chance at the title. Winning out would guarantee Kansas at least the same conference record as Missouri, with the Jayhawks owning the tie-breaker. Nebraska would then have to go no better than 2-2 over the rest of the season and be 6-5, 4-4 in the Big 12.
While that scenario is not likely, a 6-5, 4-4 Kansas team would still win the North if Missouri recorded the same record and lost to the Jayhawks, and Nebraska went 1-3 down the stretch.
Also interesting is that reigning Big 12 champ Kansas State plays three of five North teams in the next four games. If Kansas State wins out, the only team that could beat it for the North title is Kansas, if it also wins out.
"It says it's wide open, perhaps," he said.
Every other team in the Big 12 North has its own secret formula for generating success. For Mangino, having such odds late in the season says one thing.
Part of the reason for the confused picture in the North is its failure against Big 12 South teams. So far this season, North teams are 3-0 against Baylor, but 0-11 against the rest of the South. The situation left many Big 12 North coaches without much of an explanation.
"Their record is a little better than ours, but I think, in time, the North will have similar numbers," Pinkel said.
Pinkel and Mangino offered a similar explanation as to why this sort of situation arises.
"I'm not sure there is a scientific reason, just that things go
in cycles," Mangino said.
With the improvement of teams like Kansas and Missouri, which had struggled for many years, the teams at the top could no longer count on drawing the same level of local talent.
Perhaps the real reason for the North's struggles is something the NFL has been dealing with for some years: parity.
With the talent from the north more spread out, the teams at the top fell a little bit, and the teams at the bottom improved even more with big victories.
Talent is more abundant in southern states, especially Texas. A large portion of each Big 12 teams' players come from Texas.
Last season, Missouri knocked off Nebraska for the first time in 24 years. This season it was Kansas' turn, knocking off KSU for the first time in 11 years.
"In college football, I see parity coming across the board. I see teams coming up and down all around the country," Callahan said. "I think it's so much harder now to reload for any program."
When Nebraska hired Bill Callahan as its coach, athletics director Steve Pederson said that Nebraska would not be allowed to "gravitate to mediocrity." However, maybe by no fault of the 'Huskers, Big 12 North teams have caught up on its own.

KU's lacrosse victory ends 2-1 preseason run

Summer Shiflett, Overland Park freshman, practices with friend Matt Gumming, Overland Park freshman, yesterday afternoon at the tennis courts near Robinson Center. Although they both used to play tennis in high school, Shiflett said this was the first time they had played together.
An overtime victory against Nebraska helped the KU women's lacrosse team finish its fall preseason with a 2-1 record.
KU faced Nebraska on Saturday at Shenk Field for the last game of the preseason. The Jayhawks rallied from a 6-1 halftime deficit to tie the game at 7-7 with less than two minutes remaining. A stick-side upper-corner shot by Tasha Treffa, Parker, Colo., senior, sent the game to overtime.

Todav's Birthday (Oct. 26).
Work interferes with your travel plans, but there's no need for dismay. An unexpected assignment or two could add bountifully to your treasures. Put in the overtime while you can, and schedule your playtime for later.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7.
There's frustration as you discover things aren't yet quite as you want them to be. Nobody said the task would be easy. Call in an expert for advice.
Although you'd rather snuggle this morning, that may not be an option. There's too much noise, or something else is calling you to action. Better take care of that first.
Today is a 7.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6.
You ought to be in a pretty good mood even though your life's complicated. You've got enough love and almost enough money. Don't obsess about what you lack.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7.
Continue to slog along diligently, and check the things off your lists. Pay a bill that will go into red alert soon if you do't. You hate it when that happens.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
Tempers are short, and the tension could be high. There may be an argument about the best way to proceed. Although there's a lot at stake, it won't help to act without a plan. Settle down, and help the others devise one.
Turn down an invitation to an event you can't really afford. No need to feel embarrassed; your true friends will understand. They value your ability to stretch your money as much as you do.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
Your attention to detail is bringing you points, profits and status. Don't get impatient if this takes a while. You're building up a reputation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
Some of the rules you've
recently set for yourself are about to be tested. Even though you're busy, can you protect your free time? Sure you can. Show you tough.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Todav is a 7.
Your studies detract from something else that you're supposed to be doing. Continue to improve your skills, and it'll become easier to do both well.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 6.
All of a sudden, everything seems possible, and yet you're not sure. Is this a magical moment or an illusion? There's some of both. Watch out.
Your home could turn into a bigger mess before it gets any better. So why not make the corrections that you've been thinking about?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
New contacts turn into new leads, but don't believe everything you hear. Check it all out to make sure it's true before taking action. Caution is advised.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6.

'Hawks can win North

No dominant team in division
BY JONATHAN KEALING

KANANAL SPARKWRITER
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
From top to bottom, the Big 12 North football teams are separated by just one game.
just one game.
Halfway through conference play and two-thirds of the way through the season, no team has emerged as the clear favorite to win the northern half of the Big 12.
Right now, both Nebraska and Missouri control its own destiny regarding the Big 12 Championship game. Both are tied at the top of the North standings.
"We're fortunate to be in a position like, that is, Nebraska," said Missouri
coach Gary Pinkel.
After last weekend's loss to Oklahoma State, Missouri is 2-2 in the Big 12 and 4-3 overall. Nebraska's loss to Kansas State gave it the same record.
While these two teams have slight leads, no team in the North is down and out yet. In fact, formulas for Kansas winning the Big 12 North have been swirling around online message boards since the team's victory against K-State.
"If we take care of our business, all those other things will take care of themselves," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
As the theory goes, Kansas needs to go 4-0 in its remaining four games to

Not only an Olympian
With life settled off the track, Gruber shines on the track
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
For Gruber, a runner of untellable talent, believing in his abilities has been a constant challenge. Following a disappointing senior season in 2002, he was ready to hang up his spikes.
In Gruber's career at Kansas, he earned All-American honors five times, counting both indoor and outdoor track. He twice won the 1,500 meters at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships and became the first Kansas runner to finish a mile in under four minutes since Jim Ryun in 1968.
A couple weeks ago former Jayhawk runner Charlie Gruber sprinted onto the Kansas football field and waved to more than 50,000 fans during a break in the game against Kansas State. A few hours before, he'd cruised down Jayhawk Boulevard as the grand marshal of the homecoming parade.
The University of Kansas alumnus was getting the Olympic treatment after competing in the 1,500 meters in Athens this past summer. It might sound like a dream come true, but it wasn't exactly Charlie Gruber's dream, at least not when he finished up his running career at Kansas.

Possible Kansas recruit going to Duke
Martynas Pocius, a 6-foot-4 guard from Lithuania, announced yesterday he would attend Duke, after Kansas withdrew its scholarship offer.
The high school senior visited Duke's campus this week after attending Late Night in the Phog two weeks
Pocius had narrowed his choices to Kansas and Duke earlier this month.
“Kansas backed out, and it make my decision easier.” Pocus told Jeff Goodman of Theinsiders.com. “I had such a great visit at Duke that I was probably going to go there, any-
ago at Allen Fieldhouse.
He chose Duke after receiving word Sunday that Kansas would no longer offer him a scholarship.
ways."
Pocius said a smaller campus and increased playing time contributed to his selection.
The decision leaves Kansas coach Bill Self with one remaining scholarship after the signing of guards Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs and forward Julian Wright. Self could hold the
scholarship for next season, giving him the option to bring in three recruits, or try to sign a player in the spring signing session.
Freshmen C.J. Giles and Alex Galindo both committed to Kansas in last season's signeting period.

Coach has team back on track
Most people have moments when they listen to someone talk, and they don't believe a single word the speaker says. Few, on the other hand, have those instances in which they believe everything someone says.
That's human nature — to be a little skeptical in most situations because most of us follow the mantra: You can't believe everything you hear. My first experience with Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson was one of those rare moments in which I believed every word that came out of her mouth.
With little knowledge about the fifth coach in Kansas women's basketball history, I wasn't sure what to expect of Henrickson.
Henrickson. However, it was easy to understand what other respected college coaches from around the country thought of Henrickson, as Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins mentioned at Henrickson's first press conference last March.
"There wasn't one person that didn't have Bonnie one or two on their list," he said.
There's no doubt Henrickson has big plans for the future of Kansas women's basketball. Her hire may prove to be the best decision Perkins has made during his tenure as athletics director. At least, it should make him more popular when Henrickson's teams start to take on the personality of its coach.
She may be the most articulate person I have ever heard speak in public. Henkickson exudes charisma that can be attributed to his confidence
Henrickson pledged team values of hard work, discipline, communication and re-establishing tradition for women's basketball at Kansas. Her team will also be more proper in its appearance. Henrickson doesn't allow visible tattoos or jewelry during games.
Henrickson's experience also includes five trips to the NCAA tournament in her time at Virginia Tech, including a trip to the Sweet 16 in 1999, a year in which her team finished with a 28-3 record.
Henrickson spoke with class as she described succeeding legendary Kansas coach Marian Washington and how much of an honor it was to follow her example, to continue a legacy Washington began more than 30 years ago.
Her coaching resume is impressive. Henrickson led the Virginia Tech Hokies to a 158-62 record during the past seven seasons, never winning fewer than 20 games in a single year. In her first year, she led the Hokies to a 22-10 record, a turnaround from a 10-21 season the year before.
Henrickson's demeanor in front of the podium convinced me that she was the right person for the job, and with the knowledge of her coaching credentials and everything that has been said about her in these last couple of weeks, there should be little doubt in the heart of basketball country that the women will soon become a team that's not just worth watching because it will win a few games, but will compete for titles as well.
I assume that the ability to rebuild a program was a key component to Henrickson's hire, and it's something that she is familiar with.
"At Virginia Tech, I was put in a rebuilding position," she said. "I can promise you that I am better prepared to do it now than I was then. I have more resources and commitment."

First-time voter wants to be proactive student
BY KATE MOVER
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Mariza McCann has her priorities straight. The Bartlesville, Okla., senior, is an honor student, an employee of the University of Kansas, a Notre Dame Law School hopeful and for the first time, a registered voter.
This year's presidential election is the first which McCann has been eligible to register for. McCann said she feels that by voting, she will fulfill her duty as an American citizen.
Although McCann is busy planning her own future she is willing to take the time this November to have a say in the United States' future.
"I don't want to be one of those angry college students who criticize and don't do anything about it," McCann said.
"Our nation is in a fragile global state right now, and I think it's important to choose a leader who is well-equipped to take care of things," she said.
McCann is most concerned with the war in Iraq and terrorism issues, as well as education reform and homeland security.
She said the controversial issues facing the United States were of more importance to voters than party affiliation.
"Most people aren't so worried about voting for the Democratic or the Republican candidate in this election," McCann said. "We just want the best leader."
McCann said it seemed that this election was placing more emphasis on minorities, single women and young voters.
She said groups such as Rock the Vote, which uses television ads with celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Macy Gray and
Justin Timberlake in attempt to engage young people in the political process.
"I think it's working," McCann said. "They're making it cool to vote."
Paul Johnson,political science professor,said that young people didn't vote because they felt that their votes made no difference.
"They care about the elections a lot, but know that an individual vote doesn't have a profound effect." Johnson said.
However, he said It was very important for college students to vote because it was a form of self-expression and involvement.
McCann said that it was difficult to believe that just one vote would matter, but she said she thought every vote would count this election because it would be a close race.

Students give time and energy to candidates, causes they believe in
By ANNIE McENBOE
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
As local and national candidates enter the home stretch of election season, KU students are putting in extra hours at various campaign headquarters.
At the office of the Douglas County Democratic Party, Lydia Krebs, an Oksaloosa second-year law student, supports John Kerry by filling out postcards encouraging people who haven't voted recently to hit the polls on Nov. 2.
Although the two don't share political views, both are familiar with the last-minute chaos that comes with a fast-approaching election.
AM: What made you feel strongly enough about the election to get involved?
Elizabeth Moss, Carmel, Ind., senior and events coordinator for the College Republicans, continues to spend Fridays and weekends in Topela working for Jim Ryan as part of an internship program.
LK: I think that this election is probably the most important one that I'll see in my lifetime, just because of the possibility of the appointment of several Supreme Court justices and the impact that could have. The thought of Bush appointing three or four Supreme Court justices is terrifying to me.
EM: It's something that I'm interested in, and the Republican Party has ideas I believe in. We have good representation in our state and I just want to keep it that way.
AM: Which issue is most important to you in this election?
LK: I'm most concerned with the Supreme Court justices, but that brings up a whole host of other issues.
EM: I really like what Ryun does for the economy — for small businesses and for hard-working Kansans, both for people working on farms and in small business.
AM: is there a part of your candidate's platform you would change?
LK: I definitely support gay marriage, and even thought it's probably not practical for a politician to do, I wish Kerry were more supportive of gay rights.
EM: I wish that some things didn't have to be the way they are. I wish we didn't have to deal with terrorism, for example. But we do. I wouldn't change anything, but I wish I could.
AM: What bothers you most about the onboarding candidate's platform?
LK: I have a problem with the way Bush stresses his own personal faith and moral judgment in his decisions, and how he panders to the religious right.
EM: Nancy Boyda has had some negative ads out against Jim Ryun, saying that he's not in touch with the state. She just moved here — just celebrated her one year term living in this district. She's been in the state less time than he's been representing his district.
AM: How does campaigning locally make a difference?
LK: Hopefully, it encourages people to get out and vote. As we saw last election, that doesn't always make a difference, but it's nice to think that it does.
EM: When you have lots of people sitting there wanting to know what's going on, that's the perfect opportunity to reach them. College students have really open minds, and they want to know what's going on, and that's an opportunity you don't get often in the working world.
AM: What has been your biggest frustration with this election?
LK: The fact that even when Bush's approval rating is less than 50 percent, the polls show him getting more than 50 percent of the vote. I think that Kerry's won all of the debates, and people just don't care.
EM: When you're involved in the campaign every day, it gets grueling. But you just have to keep pushing.
AM: What was your favorite moment in the debates?
LK: My favorite moment was when Edwards complimented Cheney on the way that he handled his daughter's sexual orientation, and Cheney had a chance to respond to the compliment, and instead of responding to the question he just said, 'Thank you.' It was probably the only example of civility and nonpartisanship that I've seen on Cheney's behalf.
EM: In the second debate one of the people in the audience posed the question about abortion. Because George Bush has these ideals, he's not going to give in — it was easy for him to answer the question. He was just like, "No. I'm against abortion." And that made me proud. A lot of politicians today want to appease the public, and you can't really tell where they're standing. George Bush is one of those guys where you can tell exactly what he's going to do based on what he says.
AM: What should the United States' next move be in Iraq?
LK: I think we need to concentrate on training soldiers and police in Iraq so we can get our soldiers out. And I think we need to make an effort to bring in other countries, even though Bush has probably ruined our chances there.
EM: We need to stay. We can't give up. But at the same time, we need to pay attention to what's going on out there. I think we need to watch North Korea very
closely, and watch Africa and make sure none of the genocide continues to occur. We need to focus on other international issues as well.
AM: How do you expect the election to turn out?
UK: I think it's too close to call

at this point.
EM: I don't think that Jim Ryuin is taking Nancy Boyda for granted. He is an incumbent, so that gives him a little bit of an advantage. I think he'll continue to be represent us.
AM: Where will you be on election night?
LK: I will be at a party at a friend's house.
EM: I will be hopefully celebrating Jim Ryun's victory — we're going to have a party.

Kobach's top priorities for Kansas: tax cuts, job growth, defend values
BY MAGGIE VANBUSKIRK
correspondent@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Republican Kris Kobach is running against Dennis Moore for United States Representative for the 3rd Congressional District.
Kobach, a previous senior Bush administration official and counsel to Attorney General John Ashcroft, was raised in Kansas. Currently, he is a law professor at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. Other government leadership positions to Kobach's credit include time spent as a White House Fellow and an Overland Park City councilman from 1999-2001.
Thirty-eight-year-old Kobach lives in Overland Park with his wife, Heather. Kobach's daughter, Lily, attended Washburn Rural High School where she was co-valedictorian.After graduation,Kobach attended Harvard University where he graduated first in his class in the government department,summa cum laude,and was a Phi Beta Kappa member.Her later received his doctorate in political science at England's Oxford University in 1992,where he was a Marshal Scholar. Kobach completed his education in 1995,receiving a Juris

According to Kobach's campaign platform, his top priorities for strengthening Kansas are "Making the President's tax cuts permanent and reducing the tax burden further to stimulate economic growth and job creation. Strengthening local control of our schools and keeping education dollars here at home. Defending marriage and Kansas values."
Kobach agrees with President George Bush's tax cut packages in 2001 and 2003 and also believes further tax reduction is necessary to "unleash" the full power of the American economy.
American economy. "The economic benefits of President Bush's cuts are already starting to emerge. If we want to see unprecedented strength in our economy and the creation of millions of new jobs, we must build on that success." Kobach stated on his campaign Web site.
Kobach is in favor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, "defining marriage as the union of one man and one women." The Federal Marriage Amendment ensures that no state will be forced to give legal benefits to a married gay couple just because another state recognizes their marriage as a civil union. Without the amendment, Kobach thinks there is a threat to the tradition of marriage, as well as an increase in out-of-wedlock births.
Kobach is prepared to address the issues of decreasing taxes, strengthening local schools, and protecting the Federal Marriage Amendment. He also has ideas and works-in-progress to protect the United States against terrorism and dangerous illegal immigrant action. According to his campaign slogan, Kobach, as a part of the United States Congress, will provide "A stronger Kansas, A Safer America."
Kobach's priorities for a safer America are stopping terrorists at American borders by organizing the National Guard and retuning to the rule of law for immigration. Kobach has already developed a national program to fingerprint and register illegal immigrants, which has resulted in the identification of eleven suspected terrorists so far.

Boyda determined to cut costs of health care
By JESSIE FETTERING

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Nancy Boyda is a wife, mother of two, step-mother of five, and she's ridden her bike across
Kansas nine times. But on top of all of that, she's running for the U.S. Congress.
BOYDA
She graduated from William Jewell College in
PETER BURNS
Liberty, MO, where she received degrees in chemistry and education. She started out as an analytical chemist and field inspector for the Environmental Protection Agency and also held management positions in different pharmaceutical companies.
In 2003, she started campaigning and said she wants to devote her time to making Kansas a place for citizens to have good jobs, affordable health care, and even better public education.
Because she has had such a large experience with pharmaceuticals, she is determined to find a way to cut the costs of medical care and make healthcare more available and affordable.
The 2nd Congressional district of Kansas has three military bases, she supports the proposals giving more money and aid to the troops. On her Web site she said, "We're already asking our soldiers to risk their lives; asking them to go without the basics is just asking too much."
Boyda is running against Republican incumbent, Rep. Jim Ryun (R-Kan.). She says that unlike her opponent, she is willing to work with people from both parties and encourages anyone to join her campaign. She wants to speak as a moderate, independent for the 2nd district.
Boyda also talks about improving higher education. She says she wants to make tuition more affordable. When she came to campus in early September, she said that she would address financial issues with college students if she were elected in November.
THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
Ryun stands behind congressional career ready for another term to serve Kansans

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Ryun is a member of the Armed Forces, budget and financial committees and works to relieve the economic tax burden that the people of Kansas face yearly. He also strives to eliminate, "unnecessary governmental regulations."
U. S. Rep. Jim Ryun, (R-Kansas), is serving his fourth consecutive term in Congress for the state of Kansas. He is incumbent candidate for second congressional district of Kansas.
Ryun disagrees with his opponent Nancy Boyda's claims of his economic decision-making rationale to be outdated. He defends his accomplishments and stands behind the economy he has influenced.
Before his congressional career he was the founder and owner of Jim Ryun Sports, Inc., a public-relations company. Later he partnered with Resound Hearing Aid Company, and together they worked to create the program Sounds for Success, helping deaf children further their educational and personal opportunities. Some could say Ryun reached his full potential as a high school track star, holding the male mile record for 36 years at 3:55.3.
Ryun was a state and national champion, which brought fame to his hometown of
Wichita. He attended three Olympic summer games, in 1964, 1968 and 1972. He held the world record in the mile, 1500 meters and 880 yards.
During his days as an Olympic track star he married Anne Snider in 1969. They now live on a farm in Jefferson County and he is a

grandfather of three. Ryun said he cared about the environment and thinks that "too often we take for granted the natural treasures that surround us. It is extremely important to assure that these beautiful resources are preserved for generations to come."
Ryun emphasizes the importance of serving the people of Kansas with integrity and honesty. True to standard Republican beliefs, on the topic of abortion Ryun is an anti-abortion advocate. He believes, "The pre-born are precious lives that deserve our protection."
Ryun voted against the No Child Left Behind Bill that was signed by President Bush and made into law in 2002. Ryun argued that the testing requirements of Kansas children would not improve the quality of their education. Additionally, he believes Kansas's educational system does not need new programming

Jim Ryun does not support gay marriage. In his floor speech regarding the Marriage Protection Act, he stated that, "historically, marriage between one man and one woman has been the cornerstone of stable families." He believes in the need to protect the preservation of the institution of the family, and that gay marriage should remain illegal.

Kerry presidency means change United States desperately needs
Four years later, we are all still waiting for the 'uniter, not a divider' that we were promised. Four years later, we are wondering where the largest budget surpluses in history went.
Four years later, we are in the midst of a conflict without solution, inside a war with no end.
The re-election campaign of President George W. Bush has been geared around a theme of 'more of the same', and that is exactly what we are afraid of. Thus, The University Daily Kansan, by a ratio of 2 to 1, heartily endorses his opponent, U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), for president of the United States.
While there are numerous issues that the editorial board of this paper noted in its criticism of the president, none speak so broadly as the absolute disengagement of Bush and his administration from the reality of current situations.
But the president says his No Child Left Behind Act is a cure for not just education but also lost jobs.
Schools across the country are being labeled as 'failing' because of absurd standards, causing much consternation among teachers, administrators, and parents.
Iraq is descending into chaos with each passing day, while reports continue to show that the administration was both misleading in its basis for war and alarmingly unprepared for the aftermath.
However the president, in every speech, says that conditions in Iraq are improving regardless of the news coming

out of that country.
Despite the sizable portion of the American population that has objected to the USA PATRIOT Act from the moment it was passed, the president not only stresses its importance, but implores Congress to go further.
What these few examples only begin to illustrate is that beyond the differences in policy between the two candidates and their parties, is a fundamental divide in the very way that the president and the senator believe in carrying out the duties of the highest office in the land.
The outright secrecy and attitude of 'loyalty at all costs' that pervades this White House is not at all conducive to governing well.
To this administration, it is not the mistake that is condemned and punished, but the revealing of that mistake.
In all of its actions, the Bush administration seems to thrive on always having an enemy. Whether it is a terrorist mastermind or U.S. congressman the
administration blame its troubles on, it morphs difficulties abroad into a rationale for passing reactionary legislation here at home.
This atmosphere would not continue if Kerry were in the Oval Office.
A Kerry presidency will be remarkably more effective in reengaging with the same world and the same American population, that for those precious weeks and months after 9/11 was willing to help and fight in whatever capacity was asked of them.
Kerry would help rehabilitate the image of the United States, to ourselves and other nations, if only through the insistence on truth and transparency in government actions.
That the Bush administration has squandered significant and numerous opportunities on many issues is without doubt.
Kerry is a shot well worth taking.
Whether those same kinds of opportunities, should they present themselves, would be seized and capitalized upon by
In both his record and in interviews, Kerry has shown himself to have a considerably different and more advanced view of how to fight terrorism than this administration.
The process by which Kerry would proceed on this matter "engaging in thoughtful analysis, listening to multiple opinions, and displaying the capacity to learn from past events" is revealing, and comforting, in how he will make decisions in other areas of policy, both foreign and domestic.
Though reservations about Kerry are duly noted, "his deficit plan, with promises of rescinding only part of the Bush tax cuts, is likely unreasonable with these budget difficulties; his commitment to corporate tax reductions; the unforgiving perception of wavering in his views" the truth is that Kerry holds far more promise than Bush for leading our nation back to the position of fiscal, domestic and international strength we have hoped for.
Kerry ended his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention with the line that "our best days are still to come."
The politics of fear on the part of this administration must be ended and soon.
America needs a change in direction and approach for the next four years, and that can only come from John Kerry as president.

ANALYSIS Platform breakdown

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Here are Bush's and Kerry's stances on some issues critical to your future. We break it down for you, nice and simple. Or is it?
JOBS
At the end of your four-year tour of academia, will there be a job waiting that doesn't involve deep-frying or exhaust fumes?
■ Kerry: Proposes giving tax incentives to businesses that create jobs and ending tax breaks for companies that send jobs overseas. Says Bush has the worst record on jobs since Herbert Hoover, which neatly lowers the bar for a Kerry presidency: at least 'it'll be better than the Great Depression.
**Bush:** Claims responsibility for all jobs gained in the last four years and denies responsibility for all jobs lost. When asked at the third debate he would say to someone who is unemployed, he started talking about No Child Left Behind.
Bush: Blames the trial lawyers. Says health care costs are sky-high because of excessive malpractice lawsuits; wants to cap the awards from such suits. Accuses Kerry of proposing a costly government-controlled health plan. He's half-right.
HEALTH CARE
Yes, this again. 50 million Americans are uninsured and KU grads are soon to join them. What do these candidates intend to do about it?
■ Kerry: Has a plan that is not government-controlled but is costly. Says he will give all Americans who want it the same health benefits program that Congress has. When asked
at the third debate how he would pay for it, he answered by telling us again what a great plan it was.
THE DEFICIT
Bush: In four years he has seen a budget surplus turn into a record deficit, but he blames it on Clinton and 9/11.
Sounds boring, but if the Baby Boom generation doesn't pay down our $400 billion deficit, guess who inherits it?
Says tax cuts will spur economic recovery and increase revenues, thereby cutting the deficit in half by 2007, but many economists argue that tax cuts are actually a major cause of the deficit.
But independent research groups have said his numbers don't add up, and a Republican Congress won't let him cancel the tax cuts anyway.
- Kerry: Also says he will magically cut the deficit in half. He promises to do this by rolling back Bush's tax cuts for those making $200,000 or more (that should leave most of us), and cut corporate welfare.
MUSICIAN ENDORSEMENTS
Still undecided? Maybe your CD collection holds the answer.
Bush: Has been endorsed by Wayne Newton, Alice Cooper, Donnie McClurkin (well, Donnie hasn't heard of you, either!), Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith — really the entire country music nation except the Dixie Chicks. Brittney Spears and Kid Rock seem to be on board as well.
**Kerry:** Has been endorsed by the Boss (Bruce Springsteen), John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Babyface, REM, Pearl Jam, Jurassic Five — the rock and hip-hop community are mostly united for Kerry, mostly because he is not Bush.
Remember to Vote November 2nd
November 15,1917 (ONLY 87 years ago!)
Suffragists Imprisoned Because They Dared to Picket For the Right to Vote
The women were innocent and defenseless. And by the end of the night, they were barely alive. Forty prison guards wielding clubs and with their warden's blessing went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of "obstructing sidewalk traffic." Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming pinching, twisting, kicking and force-feeding the women. The warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there for weeks because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote.
100 Good Women Speak by Voting
Please Join us on November 2, and cast your vote to make Women's voices be heard. We will honor our suffragist sisters who wouldn't give up until they were granted the right to vote!

COMMENTARY

MOORE
Moore's voting record in Congress speaks for itself. His bipartisan work has been tremendous,
Moore has voted to lower taxes, fund schools and increase homeland security.
Moore has been supportive of education. Not only is he endorsed by the National Education Association, his voting record during the current term has aligned with the NEA 92 percent of the time.
In the race for 3rd Congressional District congressman, we unanimously endorse U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) for re-election. We have been thoroughly turned off by his Republican challenger Kris Kobach's negative campaigning and policy statements.
Moore cosponsored a bill to pay for troops transportation to their homes and their families while on leave. The previous allocation had only paid their way to New York. Moore's support of not only our troops but their families is admirable.
And we have been impressed with the work Dennis Moore has done in Congress so far and believe he can continue to help Kansas.
During his campaign, Kobach has repeatedly accused the Democratic incumbent of being a far-left liberal who is out of touch with his district, while representing himself as a moderate. This could not be further from the truth.
Moore's voting record in Congress speaks for itself. His bipartisan work has been tremendous, especially given the context of his time in office—Moore has served during some of the most divisive times in recent memory and has still continued his efforts to breach party gaps.
Meanwhile, Kobach's own policies have shown him to be out of touch with the 3rd Congressional District. Kobach supports bans on gay marriage and abortions. He supports
more tax cuts to fix our floundering economy and is against any and all immigration reform. While not all voters disagree with some of Kobach's stances, many residents of the 3rd Congressional District do, and Kobach's radical opinions do not fairly represent many Kansans.
Moore is on the tail end of his third consecutive term in the House of Representatives and his voting record speaks for itself. Moore has voted to lower taxes, fund schools and increase homeland security. Moore's bipartisan initiatives are admirable, and fairly and accurately represent his constituency.
Moore has been supportive of education. Not only is he endorsed by the National Education Association, his voting record during the current term has aligned with the NEA 92 percent of the time. As a graduate of the Wichita public school district, the University of Kansas, and the Washburn
School of Law, he has extensive firsthand experience in the workings of Kansas public schools and understands how to help them.
help them.
Regardless of your position on the war in Iraq, it is important to support our troops, and this is another area in which Moore has been exceptional. Moore cosponsored a bill to pay for troops' transportation to their homes and their families while on leave. The previous allocation had only paid their way to New York. Moore's support of not only our troops but their families is admirable.
Kris Kobach's negative campaigning and views coupled with Dennis Moore's exemplary record have made this race very clear: Dennis Moore is an ideal candidate for voters of the Third Congressional District, and we fully endorse him.

Both candidates have addressed universal issues concerning the state. Both have advocated improving health care for all, improving funding for education, allowing our economy to go forward and protecting second amendment rights. While Boyda is particularly emphatic on funding higher education, many of her economic goals do not fit the desires of Kansans. Her goal of increasing the minimum wage and promoting fair trade go against the interests of her constituents. This is not to say that Ryun is clean of error.

Why does our District Attorney have domestic violence victims arrested?
The D.A. has victims arrested to force them to testify at trial, even when their abusers are released on bond. Without adequate safety and support, domestic violence victims frequently refuse to testify out of fear, shame, and in an effort to avoid negative consequences for their families.
Charles Branson will:
Not arrest victims;
Help victims get the protection, services, and support they need;
Require abusers to be accountable to victims and to the community;
Work with community organizations to develop a better, safer, and more coordinated response to domestic violence.

COMMENTARY
-TREASURER
BLAKE SWENSON
bswenson@kansan.com
This election is about these two Americas. Two drastically different paths lie ahead of the decision we make on Nov. 2. The road we choose to travel determines the course of our country and civilization.
Simon, an Ethiopian immigrant, found his way into my office. Simon looked at the variety of campaign yard signs and began speaking reverently about America—a country where people can live and worship freely As citizens in this country, we don't fully understand what America means to those abroad. Simon warned me that the faith the world once had in America was rapidly disappearing.
Simon reminded me of the reason I was voting for John Kerry. I am mad. The Bush America is not the America that Simon dreamed of in Ethiopia and it is not the America that I grew up loving.
In the last four years one man has squandered the goodwill Americans earned throughout the past 217 years by fighting an unjust war under our name, but not our values. No longer do others look to America as a beacon of hope. Instead our country is viewed as a greedy and arrogant world bully.
Americans often underestimate the influence of our position. The decisions our president makes affects every citizen in every country around the globe. The president is not just the leader of our 50 states but the "free world."
Kerry is the solution. As citizens of this country we have no other choice.
This century demands a president who can reach out to the
world community and be a superpower that promotes our values of freedom, justice and equality. Kerry's history shows a record that is rooted in these American values. He recognized and responded to the threats against this nation when he enlisted to go to Vietnam. He witnessed the atrocity of war and came back home strong enough to admit America's mistakes. Kerry's experience has taught him we cannot win a war by acting like the enemy.
Kerry speaks of meeting a global test because to be the leader of the "free-world" the United States must be the best. We must not just pay rhetorical lip service to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
The war in Iraq is growing worse and it is the most important issue in the election because its worldwide impact. Here at home a war based on misinformation has cost the American taxpayers more than $200 billion and the deaths of 1,100 soldiers and 15,000 Iraqi civilians. The war has distracted our government from fixing the economy, education, health care and social security. We still have not found Osama bin Laden.
These past two years have stretched the Army so thin that the thought of a draft looms. The one way to guarantee America does not have another draft is to elect a president that is able to bring the world back to our side. Kerry can accomplish this task.
It is our responsibility to redeem our reputation. At this young age we have been presented with an opportunity to decide America's future and it will not be guided by fear and deception.

Bush ensures stronger, safer America
COMMENTARY
George W. Bush won't be running for his second term on Nov. 2; it began at 9:37 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001. At that exact moment, the largest terrorist attack carried out on American soil ushered in a new era in United States history and in the current administration. Nearly 3,000 Americans perished that day, but it was the last in a series of violent terrorist attacks against this nation.
STEVE VOCKRODT
svockrodt@kansan.com
The United States has never faced an enemy so real and determined. After hostage crises with Iran in the late '70s and early '80s, a bombed Pan-Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, at the hands of Libyan terrorists in 1988, the slaughter of U.S. soldiers in Somalia in 1993, embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the attack on the U.S.S. Cole in the Persian Gulf,
and culminating in the World Trade Center attacks, Bush had enough, and did something about it. Since then we've seen nothing to the magnitude of previous terrorist attacks, and major terrorist organizations have been disrupted and its members arrested.
A relaxed attitude from previous administrations toward prior terrorist threats and conflicts only served to embolden terrorists. The 9/11 Commission Report pointed out specifically that U.S. troop withdrawals
from Lebanon in 1983 and Somalia in 1993 only solidified the resolve of terrorists, who saw the departures as a sign of our vulnerability. The report said that the decision to leave Lebanon was "routinely cited by jihadists as evidence of U.S. weakness."
Inactivity during the Reagan administration made us look vulnerable; strategic bombings in Iraq during the Clinton administration only made Saddam Hussein more resilient; action during the current administration has made us stronger.
War is never an attractive option: it is gruesome, and it is costly both in terms of economics and morale. But in this case, it was finally necessary.
Since deploying troops to Afghanistan and Iraq, terrorism has ceased, and the United
States has never been safer within its own boundaries. The Bush administration has set out with an aggressive and effective deterrent against terrorism abroad, while beginning to overhaul counterterrorism intelligence at home in accordance to the report's recommendations to further disperse the terrorist threat. Done are the days of cutting counterterrorism funding from previous administrations. Done are the days of half-hearted attempts at merely stalling terrorism. Done are the days of a weak and indecisive America.
Now beginning are the days of a stronger, safer America, all under the watch of George W. Bush.

Most students care about voting
Although some straggle, most vote
BY JULIA COELHO
correspondent@kansan.com
KANANI CORRESPONDENT
Surprisingly enough, it is hard to find somebody who is not going to vote, at least at the University of Kansas.
People like Brianne Koester, Hoisington freshman, are taking this election very seriously.
"I am going to vote. And I don't know anybody who is not going to vote. I am from a pretty small town, but here there is a lot of diversity, people have a lot of opinion.
Most students are pretty active in the election this year," Koester said.
There are still some people who are not going to vote and the reasons vary. Some of them are not voting just because they missed the deadline.
"I didn't register on time. I didn't know about the deadline," said Ali Maddox, Leawood junior.
Maddox said she had never been involved in politics until this year, when she started taking a politics class.
Bill Staples, chairman of the sociology department, analyzed the main reasons that lead people to vote or not.
"I don't know if students are any different from the general public. There is a lot of political apathy in America. They don't feel connected in the political process; they feel alienated from it, in a sense that their votes or their opinions don't really matter," he said.
Martin Korytkovski, Chicago senior, would agree with the Staples.
"I think my vote doesn't really matter. I wanted to vote conservative, but I think Bush is a liar and not a fit leader.
While if I vote for Kerry, in Kansas this is as good as not voting at all. There is also Nader, but he is just un-electable. I am coming to the conclusion that
we don't live in a democracy since I don't really have a choice of who rules the country."
Many students question if their votes are really going to count. There are some students who care more about the elections than others.
"students feel that politics is something that is out there, in the media, they feel strange to it, when we know it will affect them in the future, in funding for education, or in a possible draft," Staples said. "There have been a lot of cultural attempts to get out and vote, to reach young people, and people between 18-25 years will probably vote in record this year."
Staples also said that the election is polarized and this tends to create strong feelings among voters. Such as Jennifer Farwell, Leavenworth junior.
"Of course I am going to vote! This election will decide a lot of things, especially with the war in Iraq. This will have a great impact in our future," she said.
And Genevieve Boyle, Salina

from the general public...in a sense that their votes or their opinions don't really matter."

vote early.
Deb Unferth, English professor has an optimistic view toward this election.
"It does feel to me that students are more involved these elections than I have seen in the past. I think there will be students who don't vote. Some don't have the intention to vote, but some just don't make it to the polls. But I hope everyone does."
More negative ads means less information
BY CLAI OVERBY
correspondent@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Editor's note: The following is a political analysis from a student in Journalism 801: Research 1. It does not reflect the views of The University Daily Kansan.
After watching T.V. for a few hours, you probably see numerous campaign advertisements approved by and supporting the local Senatorial candidates. After viewing these advertisements, does it make the voters feel informed about both the good and the bad aspects of each candidate? Or do they just know reasons why each candidate is untrustworthy or amoral and why they don't deserve a vote?
Through the past years, the number of negative campaign advertisement produced by rival candidates has increased. The
reasons behind the increase or the effects that it will have on voter turnout are unclear.
One reason for the increase in negativity could be that the recent candidates have more negative information about them that needs revealing. This increase in negative information could originate from politicians lying about what they believe in to make their beliefs match the beliefs of the majority of voters. They may say one thing but events in their past may show they believe something else. Could recent politicians actually have more dirt on them or is this negative information becoming easier to find?
A second theory is that voters prefer and remember the negative campaigns advertisements better than the positive ones. This may happen for two reasons. First, American society is very interested in knowing when something bad happens to political figures or Hollywood celebrities. If a person who is in the public eye has a failed marriage or gets caught shoplifting it makes the front page of magazines and newspapers. Often voters are more likely to discuss the negative information discovered about the opposite candidates rather than the good information learned about their candidate. Second, these negative campaign advertisements may stick out from the positive product advertisements during the normal television broadcast. If the viewers are used to seeing positive advertisements promoting a product and then they see a negative advertisement, chances are the negative advertisement is going to stick out in the viewers mind.
A third theory is based or research done by Kim Fridkin Kahn and Patrick J. Kenney. Their research concluded that "...people are more likely to vote
as the proportion of negative information in the candidates' ads increases and as the proportion of media criticism of the candidates escalates, holding all remaining forces constant." They also discovered that when the public's view of the ads turned from negative to mudsling it lowered voter turnout. How can campaign architects draw the line between an informative negative advertisement and a degrading mudsling advertisement?
if the increase in negative ads is in fact increasing the voter turn out then great, does that make voters informed?
The increase in negative advertisements means there is a decrease in positive informative advertisements that tell voters what platforms the candidates stand on. If this is the case then there are a plethora of voters voting for the wrong reasons.

Music and politics get Sam Stepp excited.
"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do," said Stepp's all-time favorite artist, Bob Dylan. By these standards, Stepp is wildly successful.
Later, over a vanilla latte and a cherry Italian soda, he and I got to talking about politics, John Kerry, the upcoming Bob Dylan concert and the previous night's events.
I first met Stepp at the Democratic rally at Liberty Hall. Going in, I didn't know what to expect. A young guy with crazy curly brown hair and a peace sign-adorned T-shirt walked up and stuck a "Vote for Kerry" sticker on my bag.
Stepp's interest in the Kerry campaign led him to be involved in the Liberty Hall rally. When asked if he thought it was a success, he said that there was "good food, good music and liberals; it doesn't get any better than that." He was in charge of getting people involved, by greeting them, slapping stickers on their bags and getting them riled up. A wide variety of people attended the event, including political figures such as Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas), who both spoke at the event, along with local band Big Metal Rooster, who entertained the crowd with its upbeat music.
crowd with his upbeat music. Stepp's interests in politics go back to the beginning of his high school career.
"I began reading the news, became informed and decided that I wanted to make a difference in our country and speak out for what I believed in," he said. Though Stepp's parents never swayed him in any direction on the political spectrum, they did always encourage open-mindedness and fostered an environment of tolerance at home. He ultimately decided his views most agreed with the Democratic party and began volunteering for causes he believed in.
As a strong advocate for peace, Stepp often rallied against the war in Iraq. From attending small peace breakfasts before school to a massive peace rally in Washington, D.C., he was trying to make a difference everywhere he went. On another visit to Washington, D.C., in April, Stepp participated in the largest rally the city had ever seen, the March for Women's Lives. Stepp, along with a few hundred other KU students, went to support a woman's right to choose.
Stepp is a member of the KU Young Democrats and the Lion's Club, which is a volunteer organization that helps children with sight problems. He is also an intern for the John Kerry campaion .
His involvement as a member of the board of directors for the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America is another activity on Stepp's resume. He described the organization as a "group of Baptists on our continent who believe in peace and justice, like myself."
myself.
Although Stepp's future is uncertain for now, he knows that he never wants to be a politician and that he will never sell out his views or compromise what he believes in.
"I've never understood why caring about the environment, working for peace and respecting diversity is considered such a crazy notion," he said.

Talk shows aren't only form of information
BY KIM SWEET RUNESTEIN
Special to the Kansan
CORPORATION@KANSAN.COM
Editors Note: The following is a political analysis from a student in Journalism 801: Research 1. It does not reflect the views of The University Daily Kansan.
During the 2000 presidential race, David Letterman was noted for telling then Gov. George Bush in an appearance on his show nearly a month before the election that "the road to Washington runs through me."
Letterman's quip was quickly dismissed by the audience with obligatory laughter. But had he been able to see ahead to the boost Bush's Late Show appearance had on the governor's poll numbers, perhaps Letterman wouldn't have been so flip.
A national survey taken the week after Bush's Late Show appearance showed the governor had a higher favorability rating with Letterman viewers than with non-viewers. Just a couple of weeks before, there was no difference between the two groups, according to a study on the priming effects of late-night comedy done by researchers at the University of Washington.
There is no question that political candidates are convinced that appearing on talk shows and late-night television increase the likelihood for a win at the polls in November. Why else would they do it? Richard Nixon is credited for being the first candidate to cross the entertainment-news show divide when he appeared on Laugh-In and said "sock it to me." He went on to be the victor in the race against vice president Hubert Humphrey.
Bill Clinton became legendary for his presence on entertainment television when in 1992 he showed off his saxophone-playing skills on the Arsenio Hall Show.
In 2004, the road to elected
once seems to require pit stops at chairs next to Letterman, Leno and Jon Stewart. Along with poking fun of one's self-image while reading Letterman's Top Ten List, candidates and their wives appear on Oprah and Live with Regis and Kelly. They are even having heart-to-heart conversations with Dr. Phil. The president and the first lady sat down with Dr. Phil and his wife in the last month, as did John Kerry and Teresa Heinz-Kerry. Both couples shared intimate details about their marriage and family relationships with the television psychologist.
Clearly, entertainment shows are playing a growing role in political communication. And it's easy to understand why. Bush's appearance on the Late Show in 2000 garnered him 13 minutes of uninterrupted exposure. That exceeded the entire time allotted to him on news shows on all three networks during the entire month of October, according to Media Monitor, a
publication produced by the Center for Media and Public Affairs. Al Gore's appearance on the Late Show the month before had similar results, giving him more airtime in one sitting than a month's worth of newscasts on all three networks.
There are other advantages as well. Appearing on the talkshow circuit gives candidates an opportunity to step out from the snippets that appear on the evening news and the characterizations formed by journalists and pundits following the campaign. Chatting it up with Letterman and Leno and revealing their senses of humor helps candidates convey an image of a real person — and warm up to the electorate.
Doing the rounds of late-night talk shows also puts candidates in touch with a different segment of the voting population. A six-month study completed recently by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that people ages 18 to 29 were less likely to watch
the news or read the newspapers and more likely to watch late-night television shows. Similar studies done by the Pew Center back up the contention that fewer young people peruse the daily newspaper or sit down to watch the local or national newscast.
So what's the effect of utilizing entertainment-based programming in political communication? Some make the argument that the increasing emphasis put on such shows by candidates will lead to a larger segment of the electorate voting based on a candidate's image rather than their issue stance. In the University of Washington study, for example, researchers said those who expressed favorable opinions of Bush after his Late Show appearance felt he "really cared about citizens." Did that mean that Gore, in turn, did not care? And to what stance does caring translate to when it comes to issues such as health care and social security?
An extension of that concern is young voters' reliance on entertainment shows for political knowledge. The University of Washington researchers point out that much of the content consumed by young people when it comes to political decision-making is personality-based. It seems at some point, in order to truly be considered politically active citizens, young people will have to make the jump from making entertainment shows their sole source of information to seeking information from other sources as well.
After all, Steven H. Chaffee and Stacey Frank Kanihan point out in their article Learning about Politics from the Mass Media that television news and the newspaper are complementary in their contributions to political knowledge. While television provides rudimentary knowledge of the American political system, voters must go beyond it to truly be engaged citizens.
MTV's slogans too extreme, now that's not cool
BY SAMANTHA SAUMEL
Special to the Kansan
CORRESPONDENT@KANASAN.COM
Editors Note: The following is a political analysis from a student in Journalism 801: Research 1. It does not reflect the views of The University Daily Kansan.
Choose or Loose! Vote or Die! Please, is it really that extreme? The past six months brought relentless campaigning. Like most election years, the television and radio screamed at people to vote for a specific candidate. The 2004 campaign possessed a different element. MTV carried the responsibility of inspiring the 18-25 year old demographic to vote, period. While the notion is pure, voting is much more than what MTV makes it out to be.
MTV takes a liberal and democratic approach to society. The network hides behind the illusion of bipartisanship when in reality their promotional tools are anything but that.
President Bush directly opposed the issues raised by MTV this election year. Gay marriage and the war against terrorism will play major roles in this election. Both issues will stir controversy and branded their marks on President Bush.
Intentions of the MTV campaign are obvious. Its target market is the unknowing youth of America. MTV has made voting the cool thing to do, not the right thing to do.
Unsuspecting adolescents will head to the polls, not with knowledge of the issues or the candidates, but with a firm belief that their vote will make them
Insuspecting adolescents will head to the
polls, not with knowledge of the issues or the candidates, but with a firm belief that their vote will make them cool in the eyes of Puff Daddy and Malcolm X's daughter.
cool in the eyes of Puff Daddy and Malcolm X's daughter.
This cynicism does not stem from a firm belief in the republic, or an undying devotion to George W. Bush. The question must be asked, where was MTV in prior elections? Yes, it was
around, meekly urging for their viewers to vote. However, when has it devoted an entire Video Music Awards program to voting? Or in what other election year has it developed elaborate marketing schemes in different cities of the country? Simply put, MTV has never taken an interest of this magnitude in any election.
So why does this year stand out for MTV? What was it about this president that triggered a voting frenzy? The theory of spiral of silence suggests people with certain opinions will not express them unless they feel their opinion is widely shared.
The issues of this presidential election are very controversial. So much in fact that some are afraid to express their opinion, or do not know how to do so at all. Social isolation is common among people ages 18-25. Not wanting to be different among peers falls equally at some level or another.
MTV approached the election issues in a one-sided manner. According to MTV, if we do not choose they way it tells us — then we lose. If we do not vote the way it tells us — then we die.
MTV has made any opinion other than its own the minority. By introducing voting issues like gay marriage and the war on terror into mainstream pop culture, it has created a social isolation greater than peer pressure. Differing opinions are not just different, but they will now not be voiced because the network has said that their views are not cool.
MTV's intentions were pure. However its history as a liberal its voting campaign. The intensity of their commercials towards the final days of the campaign
proved it to be one-sided and partisan. Social issues are things everyone has a right to form an opinion on. They also have that right to express their opinion, whether it is popular or not.
MTV has not taken away the right to express differing opinions. However it has successfully created a breed of voters who want to hear nothing but what they agree with. MTV did not aid these people in learning how to form their own opinions or critically think about the issues.
That is what is important in an election. Becoming educated on the issues and forming an opinion is a civic duty and responsibility. MTV has made a mockery of the electoral process and cheapened it. The network needs to stick to reality TV and leave politics to the people who understand it.

PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
PATRICK B. MAYER
1958
In 1999, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Higher Education Reorganization Act. In exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system, KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain over $9 million in new funding for Kansas universities in 2004. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 2nd to keep fighting for us!
PAUL'S RECORD
- co-authored a plan that would increase funding for KU and other universities so that the promises of the 1999 Higher Education Reorganization Act are met.
- advocated for an overdue pay increase for KU faculty and staff.
- advocated for an overdue pay increase for new faculty
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members
- -rought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members
- supports funding higher education properly so that there will be no further tuition increases for KU students.

JAYWALK 864-3222 Sun-Thurs 9p-1a

JayWalk users volunteers low
Eleven JayWalk users so far this year
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGIA
lfrancovigia@kansan.com
KANSAN STARF WRITER
The number of JayWalk volunteers is lagging compared to last year. The program has the minimal number of volunteers needed to run the campus peer walking program, said Cayla Witty, JayWalk volunteer coordinator.
So last week, Witty said JayWalk had to close the Monday after fall break because not enough volunteers were available.
The program has fewer volunteers than last year and a disproportionate number of males to females, 26 males and 17 females. It has 43 walking volunteers and five desk volunteers compared to 60 total volunteers last year, Witty, Wakefield sophomore, said.
Witty expects more people to use the program in light of recent crimes. Tristan Deweese, JayWalk business manager, said that one night two people needed escorts, but only one pair was available.
Two volunteers, one male and one female, together walk the people using IavWalk.
The program began operating in Anschutz Library on Sept. 12. Of the 15 users so far, all have been female, though the program is open to both female and male students, faculty and staff.
Witty said she wanted to expand the program to satellite locations at GSP-Corbin and Ellsworth Halls. Witty said JayWalk would probably expand to GSP-Corbin by the end of the semester. She said she needed at least 12 more volunteers to sustain an additional site to cover all of the shifts.
Witty said three volunteers who come in regularly and are on time will get scholarships at the end of the semester. JayWalk began offering scholarships as incentives for volunteering this year. The volunteer who staffs the desk will get a scholarship of $500 and two walkers will get $250 at the end of the semester.

JayWalk is located at the KU Info desk in Anschutz Library from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.

training session in which they are briefed in safety guidelines, Witty said. The volunteers wear orange vests and carry flashlights when they escort walkers, but are not required to have formal defense training.
Brent Carpenter said he had volunteered to be a JayWalk walker five or six times since the program restarted this fall. On average, he worked one two-hour shift per week. Of those times, Carpenter said he has been called only once to walk with someone. Carpenter said the student said she just wanted to be safe.
"She said she was glad we were here." Carpenter said.
Witty said she thought JayWalk usership would pick up once more people were familiar with it. Student Senate recently amended its Rules and Regulations so that the Campus Safety Advisory Board would oversee JayWalk. Witty said senators asked whether the program was justifiable if usership was low.
With only 15 students so far using the program, the cost of one walk is about $345. But Witty didn't think the program needed a minimum number of users to continue.
The program costs $5,200 to maintain per semester. The costs include scholarships, coordinators' salaries and equipment such as flashlights.
"It's hard to put a price on safety," she said.

Condition critical
Student falls from house; roof in violation of city code

KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
Officials with the Department of Neighborhood Resources determined that the house where a KU freshman from Lenexa fell off a roof Sunday was in violation of a city code.
The code states that elevated areas 30 inches and higher require railings.
The house at 1045 Tennessee St. did not have a railing.
Sara Anne Driessel was in critical condition yesterday after falling off the third-story roof early Sunday morning, said Bob Hallitan. University of Kansas Medical Center media relations coordinator.
She fell from the west side of the roof of the house while she was outside smoking about 3:40 a.m., Sgt. Dan Ward, Lawrence Police Department, said.
He said someone inside the house heard a crash and went outside to see what the noise was.
The person discovered Driessel on the ground and called 911 for help.
"It looks to be a very tragic accident." Ward said.
Ward said Lawrence police were the first to arrive on the scene.
The roof was accessible by a door, but Ward said houses with these were not meant to be stood on and were not safe.

Senators unpaid dedicated
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGLA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Some students may be drawn into college politics by the promise of celebrity and popularity. Some may do it for the money. But for student senators at the University of Kansas, it's a labor of love.
The only paid positions are those of the Student Senate Executive Board. Student senators at the University don't have a history of receiving compensation, and there are no plans to change that.
But next year at Washington State University, all student senators will begin receiving paychecks. The student senators voted to set aside $18,000 to pay themselves, saying that a monetary incentive would keep senators accountable.
"I don't think we've ever thought about paying student senators," said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Dunlap, Leawood senior, said Student Senate didn't have trouble finding students interested in being senators.
"It attracts people that care about the University rather than a financial incentive," he said.
Dunlap said the University had to mandate Student Senate to increase pay for StudEx positions by 50 cents when a bill within the senate to increase it was rejected.

Students can find Thanksgiving hosts
BY NIKOLA ROWE

Where to go when the residence halls close is one question international students consider whenever Thanksgiving break nears, Paula Adriazola said. She stayed with a group of friends last year and didn't have as much fun as she wished.
"I wish I knew of the homestay program last year," Adriazola, Bolivia junior, said.
The program is open to the 1,615 international students at the University of Kansas. Students in the program join a Kansas family during break, Nov. 24-28.
Applications from families and international students are due Monday to the office of International Student and Scholar Services.
For 50 years, the Betty Grimwood
Thanksgiving homestay program has been an option for international students during Thanksgiving break.
"As an international student I think the program is important because when you first get here you don't know how traditions are for American families." Adriazola said.
Carol Dias da Silva, ISSS program coordinator, said it was a good opportunity for students because they experience an American family holiday. It is a free option for international students, Silva said, because the families were volunteering the holiday stay and meals.
It is also a chance for the international students to share their experiences from another culture with the family. It's a two-way street, Silva said.
Betty Grimwood began the program began in the town of Burns — located
northeast of Wichita — in 1954. The ISSS office named the program after Grimwood following her death in May 1999. The spirit of opening one's home to international students continues among the town's 271 residents.
"We've been volunteering for 11 years, since Betty came to our door and asked us to volunteer when we first moved in." Burns resident Sue Hoffman said.
Families who volunteer to house international students tend to have an interest

Supreme Court justice to teach several classes at law school
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas arrived yesterday afternoon in Lawrence for his fourth visit to the University of Kansas.
Thomas will teach today and tomorrow at the University's School of Law.
Thomas made public appearances during his visits in 2002, 2000 and 1996, but no events for his fourth visit to campus will be open to the public.
Thomas will teach five constitutional law classes and a criminal procedure class to students. He will also teach a class to first-year law students.
Thomas spoils students because he's so down-to-earth and patient, Stephen McAllister, dean of law, said. Thomas will stay for about 30 minutes after class and just visit with students. He'll take pictures and sign autographs and whatever the students want to do, McAllister said.
The Stephenson Lectures in Law & Government Fund supported Thomas' trip to the University.

Politics gets a little tastier today in the Kansas Union
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics is serving up a more calorie-friendly diet at noon today in the Centennial Room, on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. Instead of pizza and beer, it's pizza and politics.
Pizza and Politics is a bipartisan series offered by the Dole Institute that features guest lecturers and free pizza.
Morgan, Lawrence resident and owner of Morgan Quitno Press, 512 E. Ninth St., lived in Washington for quite some time, Lacy said. Morgan served as chief council for one of former Sen. Bob Dole's campaigns.
The theme for this week's session is Tales from the Trail: Campaign & Political Experiences. Scott Morgan and John Bush will be the guest speakers.
Morgan said he had a different view to give students because he had served on the local, state and federal levels.
Bush, owner of Lawrence Realty Associates, 4321 W. Sixth St., has been involved with several political campaigns and will talk with students about what it's like to be behind the scenes, Lacy said. Every night, people see candidates looking good on television, Lacy said. Bush is one of the guys who helps make them look good, he said. .
One of the goals of the Institute is to try to get people to look beyond television and newspapers and understand the reasons why political events are happening the way they are, Lacy said.
Retired teacher donates $3.5 million to University
Stephanie Farley
Lavon Brosseau, a retired English teacher, has given $500,000 for a School of Education scholarship and committed about $3 million for the University to come later.
Brosseau, who now lives in Concordia, taught English for 29 years. She taught in public schools in Atwood, Concordia and Coffeeyville and for an additional nine years at Cloud County Community College in Concordia. She retired from teaching in 1978. She said she thought education was the key to every kid's future.
"I want to see the money invested so that scholarships will be available to kids perpetually," Brosseau said. "Students long after I'm gone will benefit from it."
The $500,000 gift established the Jack and Lavon Brosseau Scholars Fund for Teacher Education Students, named for Brosseau and her late husband, according to University Relations. The fund will provide scholarships for students admitted to the teacher education program who have a 3.0 grade point average or higher.
The remaining $3 million was pledged through estate plans the couple created in 1994 and will include support for the University and addition al funds for the education scholarship
Brosseau said she was good friends with Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chanceller, and Angela Lumpkin, former dean of education.
Even though Lumpkin is no longer the dean of the school, Brosseau said it did not affect her decision to give money to the School of Education.
Brosseau graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in education and earned a master's degree in English literature from Pittsburg State University in 1971.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Dole Institute 'winds up' for Nov. 2

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The "Inside Baseball" series of workshops presented a look at this campaign from the view of an insider.
A series of workshops on presidential politics came to a close yesterday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics as William Lacy, the director of the institute, discussed political advertising and the week ahead for the campaigns.
Lacy drew from his experience as a participant in the Republican presidential campaigns from 1980 to 1996 to give some insight into what might happen in the last week 2004's race.
"Unless some big event occurs, this is going to be an extremely close election," he said.
There are, however, some signs that people might be able to watch to gauge which way things might go on Nov. 2, he said.
Two key numbers to watch are the Bush job approval rating and the polling numbers Bush gets near the end of the campaign, Lacy said. Those numbers historically reflect the actual vote percentage of an incumbent president.
If those numbers are between 49 and 51 percent, he said, expect the election to be very close.
He also mentioned the effect of Ralph Nader, the independent candidate.
Nader's poll numbers are at about one percent. If those numbers increase to two percent, the scales could tip in Bush's favor, he said.
He said he thought there were two key questions on voters' minds.
Bill Lacy spoke last night at 'Inside Baseball'.
"First, how competent has this administration been on the war on terror?" he said. "Second, do voters trust John Kerry to be president?"
Lacy said he hoped to continue this style of presentation next semester.
He said about 50 people attended each event and that there were a mixture of students and members of the community in attendance.
He said that turnout exceeded any one of the similar sessions he helped run at Harvard University.
Susan Alig, Leawood freshman, attended all five sessions of the workshop.
"It's nice to see that we can talk about politics without
being partisan or inflamed," she said.
Justin McFarland, chairman of the KU College Republicans, also attended the events.
"I thought they were excellent," he said. "It was great to have people with experience talk about the presidential campaigns."
He said one of the highlights was seeing the lectern Bob Dole stood behind to practice his debates in 1996.
The Dole Institute will be sponsoring a few more events this week for people interested
in the presidential election.
At 7:30 tonight, there will be a panel discussion, featuring former U.S. and foreign ambassadors, that will focus on how the world will will see the American election.
Tomorrow, the Dole Institute will sponsor a lecture by David Brooks, New York Times columnist and contributor on NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
Brooks is scheduled to speak in 120 Budig Hall. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.

Commission says no to Red Lyon plan

KANSAN STAPE WRITER
Sue and Jerry Neverve won't get their new storefront and smoking patio, but their resources aren't exhausted, yet.
The Lawrence City Commission upheld, four to one, the Historic Resources Commission's denial of the Neververs' proposal to remodel the front of their bar. The Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St. The proposal would allow customers to smoke without having to leave their drinks inside. Although the commission denied the proposal, all commissioners agreed alternatives could be pursued.
In the proposal, the windows and doors would be removed from the Tavern's storefront and replaced by metal bars. A second wall would be installed 10 feet behind the storefront and would have glass windows and wooden doors.
The Resources Commission denied the proposal because it did not meet Downtown Lawrence design guidelines, which say a storefront must have a 65 to 80
The look of the storefront from the street was maintained, said Sue Hack, city commissioner. Hack said voted against the denial because she thought there were no other alternatives. Hack said she thought the remodeling did no harm to the downtown environment.
percent of glazing, or glass, and must also be within a certain distance of the sidewalk.
Jerry said he expected the commission's decision.
Dennis Highberger, city commissioner, said it might be worth looking into granting The Red Lyon a sidewalk dining license. The license would allow the Neverves to have an area in front of the bar chained off for people to drink and smoke. Right now, the ordinance requires a business to have 70 percent revenue in food sales to have an outside patio in front of the store.
Lynne Zollner Braddock, Historic Resources administrator, said she would work with the Neververs to find other alternatives and to determine if they were economically feasible.

Vote for pro-University state legislators in election
Here we go again. Only three years into the five year tuition increase plan that will effectively double tuition, students are being asked to give feedback on another proposal to tax us and our families. This time it is a proposal to tack on an additional $30 per credit hour charge for all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences courses.
There is a larger issue which puts the college tuition increase and the five year tuition hike into context. That issue is support for the University in the Kansas legislature, or more accurately, the lack of support.
This problem is best illustrated by an exchange that took place at the first CLAS increase student feedback meeting last Thursday. CLAS Dean Kim Wilcox, an ardent supporter of the differential tuition plan, was asked by an unimpressed student why the state government was not asked to pony up the funds for the new buildings and renovations. Wilcox answered that we didn't bother to ask because we know that the answer would be no.
Although it would be nice to see legislators held accountable for their anti-KU, anti-education sentiments by forcing a vote on the issue, Wilcox is probably correct in his assessment that the idea would be shot down in the statehouse.
These legislators led the charge to smack the University with $19 million of painful budget cuts for fiscal years 2002 and 2003. With rising costs in areas such as health insurance for employees, the University was forced to cut $3.7 million from its base budget for the 2004 fiscal year. Even with a funding increase of $3.6 million for the University in the fiscal 2005 budget, there will still be a $6.4 million budget shortfall because of rising health insurance costs, according to Chancellor Robert Hemenway
There is plenty of blame to go
around for the beating the University has taken in the Legislature in recent years The poor economy, and the overzealous, irresponsible tax-cutting by the Legislature in the 1990s combined to create a crippling revenue crisis for the state in the 2000s.
The cuts can't all be blamed on unfortunate circumstances, even though many in Topeka have been doing just that. Democrats and moderate Republicans in the statehouse have banded together on several occasions to fight for education funding by proposing a wide variety of measures to boost the coffers of the state. Nearly every time, the conservative Republicans blocked them. Though their efforts have not been fruitful, it is pretty clear that the Democrats and moderate Republicans are fighting for the University.
Pro-KU legislators are certain to win all the elections for seats in the statehouse in the Lawrence area. However, the conservatives trounced the moderates in Republican primaries all over the state this August thanks to the closed primary laws. The vast majority of these right-wingers appear poised for victory thanks to the socially conservative attitude that dominates the state politically.
It is certain that a very sizable number of KU students come from families who have helped elect conservatives to the Legislature in districts all over Kansas. These students need to call home and tell their parents the hard truth. The Legislature can't do much more about abortion, and there is no way that gay marriage is going to become legal in Kansas anytime soon. Instead of voting for social conservatives on principle, our parents should be voting practically for their pocketbooks and their children's future by electing candidates who are pro-education, and pro-KU especially.

In the final presidential debate, CBS' Bob Schieffer asked the candidates what part their faith plays in their policy decisions. President Bush said, "When I make decisions, I stand on principle, and the principles are derived from who I am."
'Watch out for false prophets'
GUEST COMMENTARY
The first one is easy: President Bush is a born-again Christian. He has said that when he converses with the Almighty, he can talk back. His principles derive from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Let's examine some of the tenets of Jesus' teachings — taken from the Gospel of Matthew — to see how the president has applied them.
The president's answer begs three questions: Who is the president, what are the principles he ascribes to and how has he applied them?
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEPHEN SHUPE
opinion@kansan.com
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."
Matthew 5:7
Bush approved the execution of 152 death row inmates in the six years he was governor of Texas. This was the highest rate of any state in the Union.
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Matthew 5;24
The Center for Public Integrity reported in 2003 that the energy company Enron had contributed $736,000 to Bush's candidacies since 1996. This was by far the largest amount the corporation had ever given to a single politician. In 2001, Bush asked Vice President Dick Cheney to "investigate"
the California energy crisis that had sent prices skyrocketing.
Cheney, who had spent the previous spring meeting in secret with Enron CEO Ken Lay to plan the administration's energy policies, told NBC's Meet the Press that May, "We get politicians who want to go out and blame somebody and allege there is some kind of conspiracy, whether it's the oil companies or whoever it might be, instead of dealing with the real issues."
These "real issues" became clear this summer, with the release of taped conversations of Enron employees laughing about gouging "the poor grand-mothers of California."
Last week, Bush signed into law $136 billion in new tax breaks. It was the most sweeping corporate tax overhaul since the Reagan administration, and the beneficiaries included Houston companies with offshore accounts. In the final debate, the president said most of his tax cuts went to "low and middle income Americans." A report released by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in April stated that the top one percent of American households received 54
"Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven."
times the amount of tax cuts given to middle class families.
Mark 10:21
More Americans slid below the poverty line this year, for the third year in a row. According to the Census Bureau, the poor have gotten poorer under President Bush's watch. Twelve and a half percent of the population lives below the poverty threshold, which for a family of four is an annual income of $18,800. The number of children living in poverty rose sharply this year. Of the 1.2 million Americans who joined the ranks of people living with incomes half the amount of the poverty threshold, one out of three was a child.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
Matthew 5:9
The president's war against Iraq has yielded more than 1,100 American casualties and many more thousands of Iraqi casualties. Bipartisan reports have discredited the administration's major reasons for launching the war, which included the possession of weapons of mass destruction and operational ties to Al-Qaeda.
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them."
Matthew 7:15-16

Declare independence from corporate rule in America
Dear editor.
Abraham Lincoln envisioned a democracy of, by and for the people. Yet today we live in a country where corporate power has hijacked our democracy and taken control of our major political parties, our economy and our culture.
All mass movements have started with a mobilized citizenry in a struggle for justice — from the populist progressive farmers of the 19th century to the women suffragists, labor unions and the civil rights movement.
Forty years ago I launched a movement against unsafe cars because I believed that a handful of people, if their cause was just, could stand up and defeat General Motors, the most powerful corporation in the world. It gradually became clear there was a common link between unsafe cars, contaminated drinking water, destruction of rain forests, and collapsing job opportunities - etc.- and that link was runaway unaccountable corporate power.
In the 1960's and 70's, the people, prominently including younger
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Americans, channeled their energy against the Vietnam War into a political movement to create the Environmental Protection Agency, to establish the Freedom of Information Act, the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, and to help us found dozens of citizens groups.
Today we are at a critical point in history and you have an opportunity to lead a mobilization that shapes your future. Both corporate-controlled political parties are taking our country over a cliff, the Democrats are just doing it a little slower. There are political pundits who are telling you to accept the lesser of two evils, to support an overall pro-war, pro-corporate globalization party, and put your idealism on the shelf. I, like many of you, have reached a breaking point with the two-party system. It either must be driven toward the people or driven out in the coming years. You have a choice – drop out or drop-in.
This campaign is a call to action for the young people of America.
We need a world where college tuition is free for all, not hiked every semester, politics is activated by vision, not fear, where media is created by people, not corporations, where
energy is produced more from the sun and less from oil, where business is driven by human need, not greed, and where foreign policy is dedicated to justice — not war. No Justice, No Peace.
We need your energy, your passion, and your commitment to help build a more just, equitable world - a world of happiness and the fulfillment of human possibilities. We are developing a 12 year plan to help young Americans to take control of their future and change our political system.
We invite you to join with us in this effort and urge you to pass this message on to all your family, friends, classmates, and instant messaging buddies. Together, we can declare our own independence from corporate rule.
Sincerely,
Ralph Nader
Reform Party presidential candidate on the
Kansas ballot

Hoffmann agreed and said that it enriched the entire family and they made it a family tradition.
"This is when the students really open up." Hoffmann said.
"Every year it is a new experience." Hoffmann said.
The town also keeps the tradition by having a community dinner for the international students on Friday after Thanksgiving.
New families are also volunteering for the program. Julie Gipson, Lenexa resident, housed two international students for the first time last year. She heard an advertisement for the program and thought it would be fun. Gipson housed one student from
"We had some interesting conversations and we all ended up getting along fine," Gipson said.
"I told them they could help me make the pumpkin pie. It took them three hours to make that pie, but we had fun," Gipson said.
For Gipson, the five-day stay during Thanksgiving break gave way to taking them in during winter break as well.
"They always wanted to try new stuff," Gipson said. "And I've never eaten so much seaweed soup in my life."
The program has seen a small decline in participants in the last five years. Last year there were 28 families that housed 33 students compared to 2000 when there were 39 families and students.

Walthall said he could not release the name of the property owner, but according to 2003 Douglas County Property Valuations, Eric D. Cleveland owned the property at 1045 Tennessee St.
He said the next step would be to notify the homeowner of the violation. If the violation is not fixed, the department will prosecute the homeowners in municipal court.

She wants to visit her roommate but said she would wait until the family knew more about Driessel's condition.
Driessel has a lot of friends, and she is the type of person everyone wants to know, Koehler said.

SENATORS: Executive Board members get perks from their jobs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"It's not a politically enviable move to raise your own salaries." Dunlap said.
The Student Senate Executive Board, which includes the student body president, vice president, treasurer, secretaries, SLAB chairpeople and StudEx committee chairman, has its office in room 410 of the Kansas Union. Executive members log the number of hours they work each week but can be paid for a limited number of those hours.
Steve Munch, student body president, said he worked about 30 hours in an average week but received payment for only 20.
"On average, you work more than you get paid for," Munch, Bellevue. Neb., junior, said.
Because of the large size of Student Senate, paying all of the senators would put restrictions on the Student Senate budget.
HOW STUDENT SENATE EXECUTIVES ARE PAID
If each of the 85 student senators were paid $6 an hour for five hours of work each week, it would add up to $2,550. That's $40,800 for each 16-week semester.
Funds for Executive Board members' compensation comes from an allocation of the student activity fee, $17.50 per student per credit hour.
The Transportation Board
Executive Board members get a few perks for holding highranking senate positions. They are offered in-state tuition if they are out-of-state residents, but if they are already from Kansas, they don't receive the benefit.
The Student Senate Executive Board members have paid positions at the University of Kansas. All of the positions are appointed positions except for student body president and vice president. Salaried positions include president, vice president, StudEx committee chairman and treasurer. All other positions are hourly.
Title Hourly pay rate limit Hours/week
Student Body President $7.00 20
Student Body Vice President $6.75 20
Student Executive Committee Chairman $6.50 20
Treasurer $7.00 20
Executive Secretary $6.50 10
Communications Director $6.50 15
Assistant Treasurer $6.50 18
Legislative Director $6.50 17
Community Affairs Director $6.50 15
Transportation Coordinator $6.50 20
Center for Community Outreach Co-Directors $6.50 20
As student body president and vice president, Munch and Dunlap were offered gold parking permits for $180 annually, the same amount that eligible staff members pay. Quisenberry said the gold permit helped Munch and Dunlap make it to meetings with the provost, chancellor and athletic director, among others, on time.

Eligibility for the gold permit is normally determined by adding age and number of years of employment in Kansas. The two numbers must be at least 62, according to section 5.1 of the Parking Rules and Regulations.
Other perks, Munch said, were free lunches at meetings and box tickets to home football games, which the Alumni Association provides.
Munch said if senators were paid, it might allow for a wider range of students to be involved. Because of the time commitment and duties of student senators, he said some students might be

unable to participate in lieu of jobs or other work.
Extra incentives aren't necessary for Student Senate, said Jason Boots, community affairs director.
Compared to other schools in the Big 12, the Plano, Texas, junior said, the University was at the middle of the road for compensation to senators.
Paying senators would not be a good enough reason to raise student fees, Boots said.

ABILENE — Serendipity and curiosity combined to introduce Dwight D. Eisenhower to a hobby that would rival golf as his favorite pastime.
On display through March 14 at the Eisenhower Center, "The Paintings of Dwight D. Eisenhower" explores his passion for and problems with painting. Dennis Medina, museum curator, said Eisenhower began painting at age 58.
Medina said painting relaxed Eisenhower, so much so that "whenever he went on vacation, he usually took his painting equipment along."
Eisenhower gave away most of the more than 300 works he completed, usually with a note of apology as to their quality.
The exhibit includes a sampling of Christmas prints and greeting cards, as well as 18 paintings from the museum's permanent collection and five on loan from family members.
Eisenhower continued to paint until his health prevented him from doing so, and the exhibit includes an unfinished landscape likely started before his last stay at Walter Reed Hospital where he died March 28, 1969.
- The Associated Press
For more information about the exhibit, call the Eisenhower Center. (785) 263-4751.
WICHITA -- With more export markets reopening borders to limited U.S. beef trade, the nation's meatpackers and livestock producers are scrambling to revamp operations to qualify for overseas sales.
In major cattle states such as Kansas - where frustration already runs high with the pace of the U.S. Agriculture Department's cattle identification program and its slow negotiations with overseas markets state governments and industry groups are taking the initiative themselves.
Yesterday, the Agriculture Department announced that pending a final round of inspections, Taiwan would resume beef imports, which were suspended because of concerns over mad cow disease. The Taiwan deal came just three days after Japan agreed to allow limited imports of American beef from cows younger than 20 months. All infected animals found in Japan have been older than 20 months.
"I am very pleased we finally have a framework of agreement with Japan. Many of us believed a very similar framework could have been agreed to several months ago," Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Adrian Polansky said yesterday.
Polansky also criticized progress on the federal animal identification system.
"Many of us are disappointed we are now looking at 3 1/2 years before they initiate the individual animal identification program," Polansky said.
Kansas is putting together its own voluntary animal ID system to meet market demand for ageverified animals, he said.

A strong domestic taste for beef has kept meat profits and cattle prices high despite the discovery last December of the first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, a disease that attacks the nervous system and is commonly known as mad cow disease, in the United States.

Reopening export trade bodies well for Kansas, which sold $171.1 million of beef and meat products to Japan before the ban. Taiwan bought $2.39 million of beef from Kansas last year.
Kansas has 6.65 million cattle on its ranches and feedlots.Most cattle slaughtered in the state are fed cattle coming out of feedlots animals typically butchered at under 20 months of age.

Students proud of hometown teams
Rasim Aroglu is a dedicated fan of his home country soccer team Galatasaray Spor Kulubu, which means Galatasaray Sport Club. Aroglu uses his computer to keep tabs on his team. "I called my friend who is in Turkey right now," he said. "And I changed my background to a long of the team."

While students in a nearby room of Battenfeld Scholarship Hall were watching "Monday Night Football" earlier this week, Pablo de Palacios checked a score on his roommate's computer.
"Oh, mv team just won," he said
Oriente, his favorite soccer team, had beaten archival Blooming in the 115th meeting of the clubs from de Palacios' hometown, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
"In Santa Cruz, we have two big teams, and every time they play, it's a team," he said. "It's like KU-K-State."
Before coming to the University of Kansas, de Palacios, a junior, would watch Oriente's games from el Tahuichi, the stadium, with his dad and two brothers.
Now, like other international students at the University, he checks the results of his hometown team on the Internet. From 4,400 miles away, it's the closest he can get.
Rasim Aroglu, Nicosia, Cyprus, freshman, said that when fans back home celebrated a victory in the 100th anniversary match of his favorite soccer team, Galatasaray of the Super League, last week with a parade, he w
celebrating on his own.
"I called my friend who is in Turkey right now," he said. "And I changed my background to a logo of the team."
Aroglu said he had fallen out of touch with his other favorite team, Genclik Gucu of the small Cyprus Super League, because he couldn't find results on the Internet.
"It's harder to follow." he said.
Paul Trigoso, Lima, Peru, junior, said he listened to the Peruvian national team's soccer games live on Internet radio, then watched video of the goals when they were posted online after the match. He meets with other University students from Peru when the national team plays.
"If Peru's playing, some of the Peruvians get together in a room and listen to the game and hope that they win." Trigoso said.
De Palacios said getting together with his Bolivian friends to listen to their national team wasn't always easy.
"Every time they play, we say we're going to get together," he said. "But we only did it once. It's kind of hard to go somewhere where there's a computer."
De Palacios said he and Trigoso, who are roommates, have a friendly rivalry when their teams play.
"The last Peru-Bolivia game, Bolivia
won." he said. "Hell, yeah."
Some international students have adopted American teams to cheer for in the absence of their hometown teams.
Mauricio Antezana, a junior who is also from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, calls himself a Kansas City Chiefs fan, and he watches college basketball and football. He roots for one college team in particular.
"The layhawks, of course," he said.
Other international students were already American sports fans before coming to the University.
Xiaobang Yue, Chengdu, China, junior said he grew up watching the NBA.
"The NBA was on TV just like twice a week," he said. "I watched it every time. Now I pick some of the games to watch if I'm free."
For Trigozo, however, seeing Peruvian soccer on TV is nearly impossible. He remembered the one time the Peruvian national team was shown in Lawrence.
"The only time I saw a game was when we were playing in the America Cup, which has nothing to do with the United States," he said. "On channel 72 they showed Peru versus Argentina. We watched it."

KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
The last time the Kansas football team won a Big 12 Conference game away from Memorial Stadium, Terry Allen was coach, Al Bohl was athletics director and basketball coach Roy Williams was preparing to lead the Iayhawks to back-to-back Final Fours.
Kansas' last road victory came Oct. 6, 2001, against Texas Tech. Allen coached his Jayhawks to one of the team's three victories of the season, squeaking by the Red Raiders 34-31 in overtime.
Since Mark Mangino came to Lawrence, the team has lost 10 consecutive Big 12 road games. Some have been close, like the team's 35-32 loss at Baylor in 2002 and the 50-47 loss in overtime at Colorado last season.
Then there are the other games. The team lost 45-7 at Nebraska in 2002 and 42-6 at Kansas State last season, and there were more losses that were not as lopsided but still were ugly for Kansas fans.
Things appear to be shaping up differently this season. Before the loss to Oklahoma, Kansas' two road losses came by a total of nine points. Mangino attributed the improvement to a change in the team's attitude.
RELATED NEWS
The Kansas football team sees Saturday's game as a "must-win" for its bowl hopes. See story on page 3B.
He said the defense played especially well against Nebraska.
The Jayhawks have led several times on the road this season. Finishing the game has been a problem for this year's players.
"If you look at all the games we played this year, we played a pretty good first half every single game," sophomore free safety Rodney Harris said.
Even against No. 2 Oklahoma Kansas was able to stay close early in the game, trailing by four at halftime.
"We just couldn't get the win," he said.
Mangino said his previous teams did not perform consistently. That is not a problem with this year's players, he said.
"Home or road, you're going to get the same enthusiasm out of them," Mangoino said.
The team has broken down in the second half, when the offense quits putting points on the board or the defense spends too much time on the field.

"Fatigue's always going to be a factor in football," Harris said. "You're going to get tired. No one's Superman out there."
While the Jayhawks recognize their problem winning road games, no one can find a reason.
Many of the players said they approached road games the same way they do home games.
"I look at it as: same field, 100 yards," said junior defensive end Charlton Keith. "The environment really doesn't matter."
Harris said he thought the crowd conditions might play a small part in a team's ability to win road games, but he did not pin the team's problems there.
Against Oklahoma, the Kansas defense-spent more than 10 minutes on Edited by Bill Cross
He said it was important from a mental perspective for the team to get its first road victory.
Texas defeat won't affect confidence
In the eyes of an athlete, nothing is more important than the big-game victories. The natural high that players experience when they know they have accomplished greatness is a feeling unparalleled to that of any other.
"It's very important for the psyche of our team." Harris said.
For junior tackle Matt Thompson, the struggles come down to accountability.
Unfortunately, on the other end of this euphoria, is that the heartbreak can be as slight as one measly little goal knocked in by an opponent in double overtime.
"I haven't been accountable for myself on the road, and I haven't played my best games on the road," he said. "We're definitely looking to play a complete game this week."
The women's soccer team continues on in an extremely successful season, but even it was affected by those tiny mishaps.
Winning its first Big 12 title was directly in reach, as Kansas dominated Oklahoma and Oklahoma State before going up against those pesky Texas teams.
that sweet relief grew as Kansas defeated Texas A&M, the preseason pick to win the Big 12. This was the first time the Jayhawks had beat the Aggies, and the opportunity of winning the Big 12 could not have looked better.
Going into the game against Texas on Sunday, the Jayhawks (7-1 in the Big 12 before Sunday) seemed likely to defeat the Longhorns (5-3-1 in the Big 12 before Sunday).
The Jayhawks had just received their highest ranking in school history, at No. 6, from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. It was serious cloud-nine material.
But the one predictable facet to sports, as we well know, is that they are always unpredictable. Just like that, Texas found a way to score on the Jayhawks' three-time Big 12 defensive player of the week, senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller.
This is where the unfair and heart-breaking side of sports sets in.
In no way are these soccer ladies out of it. A victory this Friday against Iowa State will give the Jayhawks a share of the Big 12 Championship. The unexpected loss to Texas will do little, if anything, to affect these girls' confidence win a game.
But it's that frustration that can hurt an athlete. A co-championship is absolutely nothing to.scoff at, but when the players know how closely they've come to being the best and come up short, it's a pain that athletes know more than any other group.
is there a rule written somewhere
SEVENTH INNING STRETCH
ALISSA BAUER

that success must always be counteracted by some degree of failure at exactly the wrong time?
Looking back at the season that the soccer girls have racked up, they've proven that they know how to win their games. The six-game winning streak directly preceding Sunday's loss shows the hard work, drive and sheer talent this team has to get a victory.
Miller and senior Rachel Gilfillan have emerged as leaders and both have had stellar seasons.
Miller holds the school record of 11 shutouts as a goalkeeper, while Gilfillan has recorded seven goals this season. There's also the point-scoring junior powerhouse Caroline Smith, who has tallied seven goals. Leading the rest of the talented squad, they were at the brink of making more history as the sole holders of the Big 12 title.
But it's that one goal — with less than two minutes left on the clock — in that decisive game that can turn champions into co-champions and force them to share the glory when they are so close to having it for themselves.
The same story rings true in the lives of every athlete in every sport. Sadly, it is close to impossible to get away from it
It is not, however, capable of taking over a great season. Just because women's soccer must now share its Big 12 Championship if the team wins this Friday's game, it doesn't take away from what the team has done and what it could do in the postseason.
Although it is rare for a team to escape the fate of an untimely loss, it is not rare for it to happen only once in a season.
Bad breaks just happen, but highly successful teams, such as this year's women's soccer squad, find a way to roll with them and roll out of them.

LSU coach minimalizes job pressure
BY TABRY SOIGNIER
The Reveille, Louisiana State University
U.S. A-11-WRIE
VIA U-WIRE
BATON ROUGE, La. — The news of the firing of Florida coach Ron Zook made headlines Monday. After going 4-3 overall and 2-3 in the Southeastern Conference, Zook could not compare to the success of former coach Steve Spurrier, who led Florida to SEC domination in the 1990s. One of Zook's bigger successes was beating LSU during its national championship run last season, but the expectations that came after replacing Spurrier were high.
LSU is experiencing some of the same high expectations that Zook was faced with. The Tigers are coming off a championship season and fans find it easy to expect no less.
"Anything less than a national championship and everyone is disappointed," said coach Nick Saban. "Last year's accomplishments are this year's expectations."
Those expectations that booing fans have developed does not put pressure on Saban or his team, he said.
"Where this team is and where we want to take them is the pressure I put on us." Saban said. "I don't feel any pressure. I'm going to do this job as well as I can do it and for as long as I can do it."
One reason pressure is not on Saban is because he said he feels there are a lot more important things in his life and in the world.
"There are bad things that happen every day to people all over the place that are a lot more important than this football game." Saban said. "We should all have some gratitude and love in our heart from some of those things."
some of those things. Saban may find other things in life more important, but he said his focus is
concentrating on the team's performance.
"How anyone can think what's happening with our team — our team, our coaches, myself and anybody on our staff doesn't feel more so — that's what you call being self absorbed," Saban said. "I understand why everyone is frustrated, but we aren't happy about it."
Saban said the standards of last year's team are still there, but players and the maturity level from last year is not. Players are aware of their position, but said they do not feel pressure that their performance will affect Saban's coaching position at LSU.
["Saban's success"] is something you're aware of, but you can't worry about," said junior offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth. "You can't worry about the coaching situation. When you're recruited, you are reminded not to go somewhere for a coach because you
never know when they will leave and you can't worry about that. You have to focus on your teammates."
Players may not be concerned with Saban's future plans, but they said the team does not see a reason to worry just vet.
"We're still winning — not every team is the same," said junior tight end David Jones. "A few years back Miami won the national championship and the next year they lost two games and still had a great season. We're still on the verge of having a great season."
A repeat of a national championship may be out of the question, but players said they still have confidence in another one and believe Saban is still the man to lead them there.
"I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon." Jones said. "We may pull out of another championship in a few years. We got a lot of great young core players."
As weather changes, season sports do too

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Autumn brings on many changes. Daylight is shorter. Temperatures are cooler. There are wonderful benefits such as fewer mosquitoes after the first frost and no dustbowl at the baseball diamond after a drenching rain.
On the downside is the need for jackets, which inhibit the swing of a bat or golf club. Players and fans alike adjust by bringing thermoses of hot chocolate or cider, warm blankets and knitted hats and gloves. The Washtenaw Community College club golf team had
one last hurrah at the Longest Drive Contest, which was won by Scott Gosselin with a 281-yard drive.
The club now goes dormant until next spring. The softball and baseball clubs hope to wrap up their seasons in the fourth week of October. With games ending at 11 p.m. or later and temperatures in the 40s, the crack of the bat on ball is beginning to sting.
Both teams were going into position play in second place with great hopes pinned on each winning another championship.
Fall weather is perfect for road races whether they're 5Ks or marathon relays. Runners solve the problem of cold weather with polyprophylene, a lightweight fabric that wicks the moisture away and retains warmth.
Club volleyball has already moved to indoor games and is sponsoring two teams in the Ann Arbor Recreation League. The Women's A team is 13-2. The outdoor sand pit is now mostly quiet except for occasional forays by the softball club.
Outdoor soccer is winding down for both the men's and women's teams. They've been fortunate to have clear, crisp afternoons for their games. Practices move indoors Nov. 9.
The biggest change for fall is under way with club hockey. With only four returning players, there's a whole new look for the team. The first game was close until the last half of the third period. WCC pulled out the victory with goals to spare winning 7-3 over Zells.
Three weeks of tryouts start for both the men's and women's basketball teams on Oct. 24 and subsequent Saturdays.
The second game against Bridgeland was a 15-1 blowout. The three Warrior goalies — Ryan Ebright, Sean Farrell and Andy Mossburg — rotated through the position and had little to do thanks to the offense and defense. Coaches Dan Midura, Brad Bellaire and Jim Teevens are looking forward to another championship season.

In a 'four-game season' Kansas must win three

On Sept. 4, the Kansas football team began the season with 11 games to play. Now, the Jayhawks have a 3-4 record and a new approach to the last four games.
“It’s a four-game season,” said sophomore guard Bob Whitaker.
The Jayhawks, with four games left on their schedule, want to put the first seven games behind them and focus on what they can control. The team's seniors came up with the idea to separate the remaining games.
"These seniors have a sense of urgency about this four-game season, as they're calling it," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
He said the seniors had used practice time to set an example for improvement during the last four games.
"These kids truly want to be better and want to get better," Mangino said. "They really have ratcheted it up on the practice field and in the meeting room."
Junior quarterback Jason Swanson stumbles as Oklahoma senior defensive end Dan Cody attempts to take him down. Swanson split time at quarterback with sophomore Adam Barmann, ran for 10 yards, and completed five of 13 passes for 24 yards during the Jayhawks' 41-10 loss against the Sooners Saturday in Norman, Okla.
The first test of the four-game season will come Saturday against Iowa State. The Jayhawks have split the last two contests with the Cyclones, winning last year 36-7. A victory Saturday in Ames, Iowa, would keep Kansas in contention in a wide-open Big 12 North Both Nebraska and Missouri are 2-2 in the Big 12. The other four Big 12 North teams sit at 11-3.
Mangino said his team was very aware that the division was up for grabs.
"We don't dwell on it, but we bring it up," Mangino said. "It's like 'It's wide open, lets keep going.'"
Whitaker said the team understood that it could not afford to overlook any opponents.
"We have to take it one game at
a time," Whitaker said. "We have to take Iowa State first and can't look past them for anything else."
After Saturday's matchup against the Cyclones, the Jayhawks will play back-to-back home games against Colorado and Texas. They will close the season out on the road against Missouri. Since 2000, Kansas is 4-10 against those four opponents. The Jayhawks did not face Texas in 2002 or 2003 because the Longhorns are a Big 12 South team.
become more aggressive since the first game.
Mangino said his team had
"These guys are more intense now than when we opened up against Tulsa," Mangino said.
The players said Saturday's game would require more intensity to post an essential victory.
"If we don't win, we won't have a chance for the postseason," said junior tackle Matt Thompson. "That was a goal at the beginning of the season."

Chiefs looking forward to rematch against Colts
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dick Vermill would prefer not to hear the "R" word — you know, "revenge" — tossed around
Arrowhead Stadium this week.
Yes, the 38-31 playoff loss to Indianapolis last Jan. 11 was one of the most disappointing in Kansas City memory. Yes, the Colts did not have to punch once while ruining the Chiefs' 13-3 regular season campaign, which had earned the team home-field
advantage in the playoffs.
And yes, Peyton Manning and the Colts will be back in town Sunday for a much-anticipated rematch that could have nearly 80,000 fans thirsting for revenge.
But Vermeil would never call it a revenge game for his team.

Today's Birthday (Oct. 27).
Although you have lots of energy, and you might rightfully think that nobody can do the job as well as you can, learn to delegate this year. You'll become a better manager and get even more accomplished.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7.
Where will you get the money to achieve the quality you imagine? Don't have a tizzy; the opportunity will present itself soon. Offer your services.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8.
You're getting stronger and more determined over the next few days. One of your talismans must be the bulldog. When you latch on, you don't let go.
There's a fight brewing; try not to get emotionally involved. Step back — look at the bigger picture when deciding which side to take. There's an awful lot at stake.
gemini (May 21-June 21)

HOROSCOPES
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a Z
There's one hassle after another,
and none of them are your fault. So why should you have to deal with them? Because you're so good at it!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today in a 5.
You're smart and creative, but that won't be enough. If you also take on responsibility for your actions and for others, you could rise into a well-deserved leadership position. Now's a good time to practice.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is a 7.
There are a few more touchy subjects to deal with before you can relax. Schedule a break for yourself tomorrow – and even more on the next day.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6.
Quick action leads you to make a discovery that could change your attitude. Make plans carefully, and you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7.
You're not in the battle all by yourself even though it may seem that way. Form an alliance
with somebody who can provide the stability you lack.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7.
It's just about time to get back to work. A creative friend may inspire you to try something you thought only others could do. Your expertise is expanding.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7.
The wonders never seem to cease. Just about when you're ready to quit, the difficulty finally gets resolved due to a new discovery. And you had it all the time.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 6.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7.
The odds are pretty high that you'll learn a lesson the hard way — and soon. Be respectful and attentive, hold onto your money, and your odds of success improve.

PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
IN COMPUTING
1988
In 1999, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Higher Education Reorganization Act. In exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system, KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain over $9 million in new funding for Kansas universities in 2004. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 2nd to keep fighting for us!
PAUL'S RECORD
- co-authored a plan that would increase funding for KU and other universities so that the promises of the 1999 Higher Education Reorganization Act are met.
- advocated for an overdue pay increase for KU faculty and staff.
- supports funding higher education properly so that there will be no further tuition increases for KU students.

Senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels gets ready to serve during a match this season. The Jayhawks have been erratic lately, with a high numbers of both errors and aces.
Serving key to victory
By BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After 19 matches last season, the Kansas volleyball team had a solid but unexceptional 12-7 record and had the opportunity to improve on its mediocre conference record in a home match against Iowa State. This year, the team finds itself in the same situation.
"They're one of the better passing teams in the league," he said of the Cyclones. "To compete with them, you have to serve and receive serves well."
He said serving would be key when his team faced Iowa State at 7 tonight in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The 2003 Jayhawks swept the Cyclones, beginning a winning streak that catapulted Kansas to its first-ever NCAA tournament.
To do the same thing this year, the Jayhawks will have to improve their serving, coach Ray Bechard said.
In the last two games, Kansas' serving has been erratic. The team set a season high with 20 service errors against Missouri on Oct.16.
"That's a lot of serves to miss," senior middle blocker Ashley Michaels, in near disbelief after the match, said.
The Jayhawks followed that performance with 12 missed serves in a three-game victory against Oklahoma a week ago.
These errors have been par tially balanced by an increase in service aces, serves that are not returned by the opposing team.
Kansas has 10 aces over its last eight sets.
"We've been working on the tempo of the serve and the placement of the serve," Bechard said.
He said the spin and location of a serve could wreak havoc on an opponent's game plan.
"We could get 100 percent of our serves in, but it'd be a nice and easy pass for the opponent to play," he said. "A heavy top spin or a floater can be disruptive to the other team's offense."
He said the team served to specific areas of the court to disrupt patterns run by opposing hitters.
Adjustments by individual players are partially responsible for the team's sometimes terrible, sometimes fantastic serving.
Junior setter Andi Rozum, who has served flat-footed for most of the season, unleashed her jump serve on Kansas State during the Oct. 6 match.
"You live or die by Rozum's jump serve," Bechard said.
Freshman opposite hitter Emily Brown has landed four aces over the last three matches after moving back from the line.
"The trajectory is different," she said. "It feels like I have a lot more room."
"She does a jump float," Brown said. "From the reception perspective, those are very intimidating because you don't know if it has top spin or if it will come right at you."
Senior setter Ashley Bechard has taken Brown's place in the rotation.
When Iowa State and Kansas met at Iowa State two weeks ago, the Jayahaws won despite below-par serving, Bechard said. The team had five aces and 12 errors.
"We try to get a 60 percent ratio of aces to errors," he said. "Obviously, we need to be a little better in that department."

Bengals outplay Broncos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — That was no mirage, it was the supposedly unbeatable Champ Bailey getting beaten — again and again and again.
And that wasn't the Patriots or the Eagles or the Colts, it was the lowly Cincinnati Bengals who embarrassed the Broncos and left much of Denver wondering how its team could look that bad on the big Monday night stage.
It may have been Cincinnati's first Monday appearance in 15 years, but it was also Denver's only appearance of this season, meaning there was little reason for the Broncos to come out flat.
Neither the coach nor the Broncos were available for interviews Tuesday, but after the game, the consensus was that they simply didn't come ready to play.
"They were more ready than we were," said coach Mike Shanahan, who apologized to his players for not getting them ready. "I have to do a better job preparing these guys."
Bailey, of course, got most of the attention, whether he deserved it or not.
The Broncos got him in the
offseason to be left alone to handle the opponent's best receiver, and up to this point he had done fine. Against Chad Johnson of the Bengals, he allowed no fewer than five catches in single coverage, including a pair of 50-yarders — one for the opening touchdown that set the mood for the evening.
"I was thinking, 'Let's go,'" Bailey said of his reaction when he realized the Bengals were going to go right at him. "I'm not afraid of any challenge. That's just the way I roll."
He took the worst of it, and maybe the most insulting result of it all was that the best Broncos cornerbacks Monday night were Deltha O'Neal and Tory James. Problem was, they're both former Broncos cornerbacks who now play for the Bengals, and each of whom had interceptions on Jake Plummer.
"I think they were ready for a big game," Piumner said. "I think we got outplayed."
In addition to the general ineptitude, the rest of the league got to watch tackle George Foster end Bengals defensive lineman Tony Williams' season with a brutal cut block that, while not illegal, certainly looked dirty.
"I don't think it was a cheap shot," Foster said, ignoring the fact that a number of TV replays that showed the grusome injury made the block appear out of line.
Denver may have lost tailback-turned-kickoff returner Quentin Griffin for the season. Griffin twisted his knee on a kickoff return. Tests on the knee weren't disclosed Tuesday, but talk in the locker room Monday night was that it looked like an anterior cruciate injury, which often spells long-term rehabilitation.
Reuben Droughns, the player who knocked Griffin out of the starting lineup, ran for 110 yards for his third straight 100-yard game. This time, though, it did nothing to open up the offense.
Receiver Rod Smith, often the hardest-working player on the team, said he was frustrated with himself because he made a mental mistake that cost the Broncos on a key play.
"I never make that mistake," he said on a postgame radio interview, "and I'm going to be mad at myself all the way home on the plane. But once the wheels touch down in Denver, we've got to forget about it and move on."
Former Yankees punished
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Two former New York Yankees who got into a brawl with a Fenway Park groundskeeper during the 2003 American League Championship series agreed yesterday to serve six months of probation and perform 50 hours of community service.
Pitcher Jeff Nelson and outfielder Karim Garcia accepted the deal just before the case was scheduled to go to trial
ers to be evaluated for possible anger management counseling.
If they meet the requirements and stay out of trouble, the assault and battery charges will be dismissed.
"While sufficient evidence exists to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, the conduct of Nelson and Garcia does not merit criminal convictions," the district attorney's office said in a statement.
Charges were dropped last week against Paul Williams, 25, of Derry, N.H., a part-time
groundskeeper who got into the fight with the players.
The fight broke out after Williams cheered for the Red Sox while in the Yankee bullpen during the third game of the ALCS last October.
The groundskeeper sued the players for more than $33,000. He said the fight left him with a crooked nose, broken teeth, a neck injury and cleat marks on his body.
Nelson and Garcia would have faced up to 21/2 years in prison if convicted.

Reward offered for reporting false alarms
BY Ross FITCH
rftick@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Board met earlier this week and decided to implement the award. Funding will come from various sources.
Students can now receive an award up to $1,000 for turning in suspects on information that leads to an arrest. Callers can remain anonymous.
Garrett Kohl, Olathe freshman, said the award, though a good idea, would probably not work because the problem was one of a "he said, she said" case.
The prankster or pranksters behind the 13 illegally pulled fire alarms this year in McCollum Hall had better watch their backs.
Provost David Shulenburger appointed a group of University of Kansas administrators, faculty and staff, students and members of the KU Public Safety Office to a KU Crime Stoppers Board.
The awards will make the guilty students more cautious though, Kohl said.
"There's such a concern about the number of alarms and the risk it puts people in," said Ann Eversole, associate dean of students and chairwoman of the Board. "We wanted to get their attention."
Since the start of the semester, 13 of the 19 fire alarms in McCollum have been criminal.
Criminal alarms mean they have been falsely set off, Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said.
When students set off the alarms they are disrupting the student environment and tying up emergency equipment, Bailey said.
If caught, the person or people responsible could spend up to a year in jail and pay a fine of up to $2,500. One suspect has already been identified and arrested.
Some McColum residents said the award would be nice, but turning in the perpetrators wouldn't necessarily be about the money.
"I'm so tired of getting up in the middle of the night," Arianne Cordray, Lenexa freshman, said. "It's worth the satisfaction of a night of sleep."
Most importantly, they are causing students to ignore the alarms, which could be serious in the event of a real fire, he said.

"They can't really trust anyone around because it's a lot of money if they get caught." Kohl said.
SAFETY MATTERS
Students continue to sit on roofs despite accident
BY AMANDA O'TOOLLE AND STEPHANIE FARLEY
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITERS
The door leading out to the roof was meant to be an emergency exit — a way for Kyle Jones to escape flames or other lethal threats.
www.kansan.com
No one was supposed to be on the roof. homeowner Misty Iones said.
Photo illustration by Courtney Kuhlan/KANSAN
But that wasn't the case early Sunday morning at 1045 Tennessee St., where Misty's son and other KU students live. Sara Anne Driessel, Lenexa freshman and McCollum Hall resident, went out to the roof to smoke a cigarette and fell from the third-story building. Driessel was taken to. the University of Kansas Medical Center and was listed in critical condition Tuesday. Her family has declined further comment on her condition.
"I never, in my wildest dreams, thought someone would fall off the roof." Mistv said.
Misty said she had been on the roof multiple times, pulling ivy, but she didn't think falling was an immediate danger. The roof is at least 10 feet long, she said. She now regrets her lack of concern for the roof's danger.
The city cited Misty and her husband, who live in Lake Quivera, with a violation yesterday. The house was in violation of a city code that stated that any elevated area higher than 30 inches required a railing.
Oread Neighborhood residents said they saw people on roofs all the time.
Kyle Thompson has lived in the house immediately to the north of 1045 Tennessee St. for 16 years.
"It's a fairly common thing," he said of his younger neighbors on rooftops. Mostly he sees people using roofs to sunbathe.
A third-story door in a house on Indiana Street, a few blocks away from Misty's house, leads to a similar roof.
A back door on the third-story apartment opens out onto a flat roof that overlooks Memorial Stadium. The roof violates the same city code that the Joneses were warned about because it does not have a railing.
Phil Harrison, trustee for the property owners of 1145 Indiana St., said tenants were prohibited in the lease from on the roof.
But Amanda Flott, Omaha senior and resident of the apartment building, still goes out on the roof.
One of the selling points of the apartment was the beautiful view, Flott said, which allows her to see and hear all home football games.
Courtney Kuhlen/KANSAN
The owner probably wouldn't advise residents to go on the roof, she said, but she and other friends go out there all the time.
"We don't want anyone out on any roofs at any time, period," Harrison said. But he is not taking any chances.
Flott said Driessel's fall probably would not keep her from going out on the roof. She doesn't think it will stop others either.
100
Harrison said the property owners were going to install a railing on the roof immediately. The roof would then
comply with the city code.
Compliance
The city has given the Joneses 30 days to make the house comply to the code. Misty said she would turn the door into a window large enough for an adult to exit, to be used in case of an emergency.
Misty said she wished her roof would have been in accordance with city code. A private home inspector who inspected the house when her family bought it in May didn't tell her that the door-accessible roof violated any codes, she said. She did not want to release the name of the inspector.

Undecided voters make last-minute decisions
BY ANDY HYLAND
ahyland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dustin Delich, Leavenworth junior,
said he was still undecided.
With this year's presidential election days away, some students have already voted, while others are using the short time left to make up their minds.
"I watched the debates, and I still haven't made up my mind," he said. "The war is going to take its course no matter who is president. I'm more concerned about the flu shot shortage and health care."
Delich said it could take until he drove to the polls in Leavenworth on Election Day before he made up his mind.
"I'm looking for someone who looks like they'll be a strong leader and knows what they want to do as president," he said. "I also want to make sure we keep our allies and not upset the world."
Ryan Mulloy, Springfield, Mo., sophomore, was also trying to sift through the information on the candidates.
"I'm going to start paying real close attention," Multon said. "Economic factors when I get out of college will be a big deal."
He said he was also interested in what the candidates would do about rising college tuition costs and the war.
"As long as there's no draft; that's what I'm concerned about." he said.
"He seems like more of a person," Board said.
Nick Bogard, Lawrence sophomore,
said he was leaning toward Bush, but
still hadn't made up his mind completely.
"I'm a Democrat, I was raised a Democrat," he said. "When I get down to domestic policy, the stuff that's really near to my heart, I'm with Kerry. In the times we're in now, though, I feel like I have to go towards Bush."
Others made up their minds long ago.
I was raised a republican, Cy Kruen,
Baldwin City freshman, said. "I personally agree with everything Bush says."
Kate Quimby, Overland Park junior,
preferred John Kerry.
"I feel like from watching him, I can relate to him a lot better than Bush," she said.
Adam Evans, Kingwood, Texas, sophomore, found a way to express his distaste for both candidates.
"I'm voting for Nader." Evans said. "I don't like John Kerry because he flip-flops, and I worried that Bush's moral principles is just an act to get votes.
"I'm going with the least of all the evils." he said.

Overall academic ratings positive
By Ross Fitch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In the University of Kansas' most recent Student Perceptions Survey, students continued to rate most aspects of their educational experience high, with one exception: Academic advising took a slight hit.
The survey rates academic approval on a scale of one to five, undergraduate rated academic advising 3.49. One meant students found advising not helpful at all, whereas five meant they found it very helpful. The rating was down from 3.54 in 2002.
rated academic advising fairly high, the overall rating still dropped. Low ratings for sophomores could come from transition into major schools and departments, said Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success.
While both freshmen and seniors
"Both the needs of sophomores and the transition to junior, senior advising are areas we need to continue to look at," Tuttle said. "I think that's where the difference can be."
In some cases, students have worked with one adviser for two years, and then moved into a department or school where the advising system is different, she said.
Tuttle said the actual percentages
from the survey rate academic advising high.
For 2004, 87 percent of freshmen found advising to be somewhat helpful, helpful or very helpful. That percentage is up slightly from 2002's 86.2 percent.
The majority of seniors, 82.5 percent, found advising to be somewhat helpful, helpful or very helpful. That percentage was up from 2002's 75.9 percent.
The University, specifically the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, has tried to improve advising.
All incoming freshmen are now given the name of their adviser prior to arriving at the University. An advising tutorial is available so students can go online and prepare for advising in
advance. Additional professional advisers have also been hired. Tuttle said.
"It helps us take the temperature of what's going on, but it also gives us a snap shot of each class as it goes through," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcet, senior vice provost.
The Office of Institutional Research and Planing has conducted the Student Perceptions Survey every other year since 1996. The student satisfaction results were gauged through a telephone survey that asked about students' educational experience. At least 159 students from each class were surveyed.

'What a feminist looks like discussion at Union today
The Commission on the Status of Women is sponsoring a panel and discussion titled "This Is What A Feminist Looks Like" at 7 p.m. today at the Pine Room on the 6th floor of the Kansas Union.
The panel discussion will focus on feminist issues and why the issues are relative to students today at the University of Kansas. The panel is comprised of people who are wellversed in feminist philosophy and have had experience with feminist issues, Cheryl Wozniak, Commission on the Status of Women president, said. Learning what it is that makes a feminist has many different facets, Wozniak said.
The idea for the panel came out of the "This is what a feminist looks like" button campaign, which began in 2002 by the commission. The idea for the buttons came from the 2002 Women's Needs survey that showed 36 percent of KU women surveyed considered themselves a feminist.
"You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist, and I think it's important for students to know that," Wozniak said.
There also will be discussions of feminist issues within this year's election, why voting is important and how to protect one's rights,
Kathy Rose-Mockry, Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center program director, said.
The four-member panel is comprised of Roksana Alavi, graduate teacher assistant; Ann Cudd, director of women's studies; Jimmie Manning, graduate teacher assistant and Lorraine Bayard De Volo, political science assistant professor.

Scientists find skeleton of new new human species
Ross Fitch
In a discovery that could rewrite the history of human evolution, scientists said they found the skeleton of a new human species, a dwarf.
The finding on a remote Indonesian island has stunned anthropologists like no other in recent memory. It is a fundamentally new creature that resembles the fictional, barefooted hobbits than modern humans.
The 3-foot-tall adult female skeleton found in a cave is thought 18,000 years old.

Remembering Jim
in
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Ellen Stolle, Prairie Village freshman, and Adam Krause, Overland Park freshman, pay tribute to Jim Justin, St. Charles, Ill., freshman, at a candlelight vigil in front of Elsworth Hall. A memorial service to honor Justin, who died over the weekend, was held on the third floor of Eelsworth before the vigil last night.
Resident advisers Melissa Hambleton, Leavenworth senior, and Nate Jones, Wichita sophomore, organized the program. Students were invited to listen to songs, give testimonials, talk about Justin's impact on their lives and participate in the vigil. Jones also read a letter from Justin's parents that included a thank you to the students for their support and friendship. Jones said he spoke with Justin's parents about the program. "His parents were extremely appreciative and encouraged to know that people were remembering him here," Jones said.
Senate debates CLAS tuition fee
BY LAURA FRANCOVIGILIA
lfrancoviglia@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
The cost of tuition could soon go up $30 per credit hour for each class in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. That is, if the school implements its plan for a differential tuition fee.
That is a $900 tuition increase for students taking 15 CLAS credit hours.
Senators also questioned whether administrators were exhausting their opportunities to get more state funding.
Student Senate held an Issues Forum on the discussion of the CLAS Differential Tuition fee at last night's meeting.
Dean Kim Wilcox of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences introduced the proposal to students at the first of the meetings discussing the increase on Oct. 21.
The differential tuition fee would foot the cost of remodeling Wescoe Hall and building a natural-sciences building.
The fee would phase in $10
per credit hour fee for each CLAS course in the first year, $20 per credit hour the second year and $30 per credit hour for the remainder of the 20-year plan.
The project would create better classrooms and more class space in Wescoe, which would draw professors to the University, said Kristan Seibel, Junior/Senior CLAS Senator.
Freshmen at the University of Kansas would have use of the remodeled classrooms in Wescoe by their senior year, Seibel. Salina junior, said.
She said the fee schedule would ensure student use of the remodeled building sooner.
Dennis Chanay, freshman senator, said he understood that states had debts, but he cared more about whether his family and friends were in debt.
Chanay, Paola freshman, said the fee would likely cause more students to take out loans. He didn't think administrators understood his side.
"You make them take out loans and you put them in debt for possibly the rest of their life," he said.

International Halloween party looks for flair, not scare
The International Student Association Halloween party is the biggest event during the fall semester for the group.
The party has been such a long standing tradition for the group Mike Ediger, International Student and Scholar Services associate director, said that no one knows how

to the party dressed as Princess Fiona from the *Shrek* movies.
"That costume has been hard to come by this year." Silva said.
Silva said that she was looking forward to being with friends and the, international atmosphere at the party. The D.J. will be playing international music and taking requests, Silva said.
"It won't just be like going to a club on Halloween," Silva said. "The international touch is what makes the party special."
The purpose of the party is to introduce American holiday traditions with an international flair, Juan Cristobal Aragoz Riveros, La Paz, Bolivia, junior and ISA president, said.
Riveros went last year as a scarecrow, a costume he had made himself from straw and twigs he found in his yard. He said that he didn't know what he would be this year. He hasn't had time to think about it because he has been busy studying for tests, but he will make a trip to the thrift store to create a costume.
There will be a raffle for prizes from Chipotle and Liberty Hall. Vouchers from STA travel will be awarded to the winners of the costume contest. Riveros said audience response and board members of the ISA would determine the winners. The members will be looking for the most creative costume instead of just he scariest, Riveros said.
The purpose of ISA is to support international students, faculty and staff and a diverse culture on campus, Ediger, ISA adviser, said. The Halloween party promotes social interaction and the cultural exchange within the group, Ediger said.
"It's a fun event, but it also gives international students a chance to see how Halloween is celebrated here," Ediger said.

Differential tuition increase proposed
Money needed on campus
The best universities in the country are often renowned for the research their faculties conduct, the quality of education their students receive and the beauty of their campuses. In order to remain competitive in all three areas, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is trying

to sway the student body in support of an eventual $30 per credit hour increase to build a new natural sciences building, heavily renovate Wescoe Hall and cover minor renovations across campus. While its proposal has a few kinks that need to be worked out, the idea is an effective way of improving the University.
A new natural sciences building would be great addition to the main campus. Nearly all lab courses, from chemistry to physics to biology, are crowded in small labs. Malott Hall is an outdated facility. Any student who was on campus last year can attest to the number of times The University Daily Kansan reported an evacuation of the building due to gas build-up from poor ventilation. Haworth Hall has limited lab space, and faculty with their offices and labs within are cramped for space as well. A new building would improve the learning environment and give faculty the room they need to conduct their work.
Wescoe Hall is not one of the most attractive buildings on campus — or most stable. Part of the renovation plan proposed includes reinforcing the building's foundation, along with adding about 100 offices. Many TAs are cramped into offices with two or three other fellow instructors, making it difficult to prepare for classes or meet with students. The lowest levels of the building receive almost no sunlight, making it depressing to work there. Not only would students receive a more aesthetically pleasing Wescoe Hall, but one that would be more welcoming and comfortable to work in.
This is not to say that the University's proposed plan is not without flaw. While the tuition would be phased in at $10 increments over three years before becoming fixed for 20 years, the ultimate increase of $30 per credit hour seems a little steep. Capping the increase at $15 to $20 per credit hour would still raise a significant amount of money while possibly retaining student support.
Preliminary plans for Wescoe's renovation have it looking very much like the Kansas Union, with a clock tower. Perhaps a different design could be proposed, allowing the building to blend more into campus but retaining its unique character.
Either way, to remain competitive, and with the Legislature cutting the budget
for higher education, students must step up to the plate and continue the improvement of the University.

Increase sets bad precedent
Let's call it what it is. Differential tuition is a tuition increase. Tuition has been increasing for students attending the University of Kansas for the past two years, and it's scheduled to increase 4 percent for students next year in accordance with the 2002 Record of Recents

tuition plan. The differential tuition proposed for students taking courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is a misplaced burden.
The other colleges on campus, except for the School of Social Welfare, all pay differential tuition. However, the money is usually used to pay for student services or faculty positions. The
STINSON'S VIEW
differential tuition for CLAS will be used primarily for building renovations. Traditionally, students do not pay for building renovations, and this would be a bad precedent to set. The state might decide that if students are willing to pay for building renovations when the state doesn't, then students would continue to be willing to pay in the future.

Wescoe Hall is one building that would undergo complete renovation. Wescoe does need additional office space for teaching assistants and professors. But the renovation of Wescoe would result in the whole building eventually being torn down, including the Underground, which cost about a half-million dollars to build and was completed only one month and five days ago. To start from scratch in the next three years is bad planning, and a waste of money.
The preliminary plan shows Wescoe beach would have a clock tower on the north side. More money does not need to be spent on a clock tower when there is already the Campanile, which chimes on the hour. Although Wescoe is not the prettiest building on campus, it has its own unique character. Besides, "ugliness" should not be a good enough reason to spend between $30 million and $40 million on renovation. It is 50 years old, but buildings such as Malott Hall, which is almost 50 years old, and Haworth Hall are in worse need of renovation. The differential tuition does include plans to build a much needed new science building. Though this is a need, the students should not have to pay for this renovation.
Zach Stinson/KANSAN
Students should not be expected to pay for a building they will use for less than four years, or not at all, depending on when they graduate and when the building is completed. This is not like the Student Fitness Recreation Center, where students who paid for the center would receive a pass for semesters after they graduate from the semesters they paid for in building it.
Students do not want or need a pass to use Wesco Hall with a clock tower after they graduate.

Editorial Board explains state, local endorsements
In yesterday's Kansan, the Editorial Board gave its endorsements for various state and local elections.
In an effort to more clearly explain the board's methodology and decision-making, the Kansan is running explanations for those endorsements.
State Board of Education, 4th District, Bill Wagnon. The board endorsed Wagnon it supported his stance on following standards from the National Academy of Science in school curriculum. The board did not support including intelligent design in science curriculum as suggested by Meissner.
State Senate, 2nd District, Mark Buhler. The board was torn between Buhler and Marci Francisco. Both would be worthy candidates, but the board decided to support Buhler based on his experience in the State Senate.
State House, 10th District, Rich Lorenzo. Again, the board had a difficult time deciding between Lorenzo and the incumbent, Tom Holland. The board endorsed Lorenzo because of his experience with the University of Kansas and because he is a resident of Lawrence.
State Senate, 3rd District, Jan Justice. Justice received the board's endorsement for her background in higher education.
State House 45th District, Tom Sloan. The board endorsed Sloan because of his experience in the State House of Representatives and his support of higher education.
County Treasurer, Paula Gilchrist
Gilchrist's opponent, Cindy
Monshizadeh, had no political
experience whereas Gilchrist did. The board did not support Monshizadeh's idea of paying taxes with credit cards.
County Clerk, Marni Penrod. Penrod received the board's endorsement because of her previous experience in county clerk's office and ability to provide continuity in leadership. She has been trained through the Secretary of State's office to implement the Help America Vote Act.
District Attorney, Charles E. Branson. The board supported his interest on the District Attorney spending more time in court and his proposal to start a consumer-protection division.
County Commission, 3rd District, Marguerite Ermeling. The board endorsed Ermeling because it did not support Jere McElhaney's proposal to push for the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway.
District court judge, Paula Martin,
not endorsed to be retained. The board
thought the sentences Martin had
given rape offenders were too
lenient.
The Kansan would also like to invite candidates to submit letters to the editor explaining their platforms. These submissions should not exceed 200 words and should be an explanation of a candidate's platform — not an attack on an opponent. Please e-mail submissions to opinton@kansan.com by tomorrow afternoon. We will run these letters, provided they are explanations and not attacks, up until election day.

BAGHDAD, Iraq — An uptick in airstrikes and other military moves point to an imminent showdown between U.S. forces and Sunni Muslim insurgents west of Baghdad—a decisive battle that could determine whether the campaign to bring democracy and stability to Iraq can succeed.
newsroom
buffer-Flint
American officials have not confirmed a major assault is near against the insurgent bastions of Fallujah and neighboring Ramadi. But Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has warned Fallujah leaders that force will be used if they do not hand over extremists, including terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
A similar escalation in U.S. military actions and Iraqi government warnings occurred before a major offensive in Najaf forced militiamen loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to give up that holy city in late August. And U.S. and Iraqi troops retook Samarra from insurgents early this month.
Now U.S. airstrikes on purported al-Zarqawi positions in three neighborhoods of eastern and northern Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, have increased. And residents reported this week that Marines appeared to be reinforcing forward positions near key areas of the city. Other military units are on the
move, including 800 British soldiers headed north to the U.S.-controlled zone.
The goal of an attack would be to restore government control in time for national elections by the end of January. However, an all-out assault on the scale of April's siege of Fallujah would carry enormous risk — both political and military — for the Americans and their Iraqi allies.
A videotape obtained Tuesday by Associated Press Television News featured a warning by masked gunmen that if Fallujah is subjected to an all-out assault, they will strike "with weapons and military tactics" that the Americans and their allies "have not experienced before."
Regardless of whether the threat was an empty boast, insurgents elsewhere in Iraq could be expected to step up attacks to try to relieve pressure on fighters in the Fallujah and Ramadi areas.
But the main problem an assault would pose for both the U.S. military and Allaw's government is political, such as a widespread public backlash. A nationwide association of Sunni clerics also has threatened to urge a boycott of the January elections if U.S. forces storm Fallujah.
U. S. and Iraqi officials hope the Iraqi people are so fed up with suicide attacks, assassinations and kidnappings that they will acquiesce to the use of force.
Americans heavier, taller than ever before
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Americans are getting a little taller and a lot fatter.
WASHINGTON
Adults are roughly an inch taller than they were in the early 1960s, on average, and nearly 25 pounds heavier, the government reported yesterday.
The nation's expanding waistline has been well documented, though yesterday's report is the first to quantify it based on how many pounds the average person is carving.
The reasons are no surprise: more fast food, more television and less walking around the neighborhood, to name a few. Earlier this year, researchers reported that obesity fueled by poor diet and lack of activity threatens to overtake tobacco use as the leading preventable cause of death.
In 1960-62, the average man weighed 166.3 pounds. By 1999-2002, the average had reached 191 pounds, according to the
National Center for Health Statistics — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — which issued the report. Similarly, the report stated, the average woman's weight rose from 140.2 pounds to 164.3 pounds.
The trends are the same for children, the report said: Average 10-year-olds weighed about 11 pounds more in 1999-2002 than they did 40 years ago. So expect the next generation of adults to be even heavier than they are today, said Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
"All the kids who are obese now will become obese adults," Klein said. "What will happen with the next generation of adults is really scary."
Obesity can increase the likelihood of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other health problems.
The report also documented
A WEIGHTY ISSUE
On average, American adults are about an inch taller and nearly 25 pounds heavier than they were in the early 1960s, the government reported yesterday.
BY THE NUMBERS
Average man in 1960s: 5 feet 8 inches and 166.3 pounds.
Average man 1999-2002: 5 feet 9 1/2 inches, 191 pounds.
Average woman in 1960s: just over 5 feet 3 inches and 10.2 pounds.
Average woman 1999-2002: 5 feet 4 inches, 164.3 pounds.
THE IMPACT. Obesity can increase the likelihood of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other health problems.
an increase in weight when measured by body mass index, a scale that takes into account both height and weight. Average BMI for adults, ages 20 to 74, has increased from about 25 to 28 during the 40-year span.
Anyone with a BMI of 25 and up is considered overweight, and those with BMIs of 30 or more

are considered obese.
Men's average height increased from 5 feet 8 inches in the early 1960s to 5 feet 9 1/2 inches in 1999-2002.
The average height of a woman went from just over 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches.

K-State student falls from second story
The University of Kansas was not the only university to have a student fall off of a balcony this week.
Michael Brothers, a Cherryvale junior at Kansas State University, was flown by helicopter to a hospital in Wichita after falling from a balcony at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house, 1632 McCain Lane.
Wesley Medical Center has moved Michael Brothers' condition from critical to serious after the two-story fall Tuesday morning.
"Serious is better than critical," said Jeri Rose, marketing and public relations for the Wesley Medical Center.
Brothers, a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, was visiting Alpha Tau Omega when he fell from the second floor at 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, said Scott Jones, director of greek affairs at Kansas State University.
The balcony has a railing, but it may not have been adequate, said Tiffany Dean, senior admin-
lstrative assistant for the office of greek affairs at Kansas State University.
"It only came up to his upper thigh," Dean said, referring to the height of the railing.
"It's something they're going to look into to prevent it from happening again."
She does not know when the railing was built, she said.
Officials do not know whether alcohol was involved, and the incident is classified as an accident, Jones said.
He had not talked to the Brothers family but heard about his condition on the radio yesterday morning.
"From what I heard it had improved," Jones said.

If students think the state should give more money to higher education, Jason Boots, Student Senate community affairs director, said students should learn about the candidates running for office in next week's election. Boots, Plano, Texas, junior, said if students were unhappy with tuition increases, it was all the more reason to go vote.
Student Senate will formally voice its opinion on the prospect of a CLAS differential tuition fee, said Jeff Dunlap, student body vice president.
Dunlap, Leawood senior, said he didn't know when or how Senate would do this.
In the meantime, he encouraged senators to talk with their constituents to gauge public opinion on the fee.
Discussion will continue at open forums scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. Nov. 8 in 3140 Wescoe and from 6 to 7 p.m. Nov. 18 in 1001 Malott Hall.

ALARMS: Students think it won't be easy turning in peers

Residents said they wanted to catch the guilty students, but would hesitate to turn in their friends.
"It would matter if it was one of my friends, but none of my friends would do it," Mike Graham, St. Louis freshman, said.
Graham suggested that cameras would be the most effective way to catch the culprits.
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, thinks there should be reasonable limits to what can be done to catch the alarm pullers.
"We're reluctant to go the route of cameras," Robertson said. "It doesn't feel like a home anymore."
In addition to the awards, student housing administrators have enhanced the pull stations, Robertson said.
She was reluctant to say what had been done so the culprits wouldn't know how to get around the enhancements.

Fawcett said she was pleased instructors' English speaking ability had not posed serious problems.
"We were very happy to see all that work in that area has made a difference," she said.
Graduate teaching assistants and faculty have to pass two exams, the TOEFL and the SPEAK before they can teach.
Each exam determines whether GTAs or faculty who are foreign born and speak English as a second language can effectively communicate and teach, Fawcett said. Students who took the survey were they thought their teachers were especially helpful.
"Teachers have been more than willing to help out and talk about whatever I want to," said Amanda Sellers, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore.
"All the teachers I've had make themselves approachable," Williams, Tulsa, Okla., freshman said.
Erin Williams said she liked the way teachers interacted with students.

Kansas savvy at Media Day
Coach Self center of attention as he talks about injury and filling that last starting spot
BY JESSE NEWELL
jnewell@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bill Self sat at the head table surrounded by the biggest crowd at Big 12 Media Day, but he didn't seem to mind.
While all other coaches brought just two representatives from their respective teams, Self crammed onto the front table with all four of his seniors.
Then again, there might not be another coach in the Big 12 with the luxury of returning senior contributors such as Wayne Simien, Aaron Miles, Keith Langford and Michael Lee.
"A lot of coaches feel a team is only as good as the seniors allow them to
be," Self said. "That's one reason we feel we have a special team, because of these four guys."
The four seniors were part of the reason Big 12 coaches chose Kansas, along with Oklahoma State, as the preseason picks to win the conference.
conference.
"Kansas has their whole team back; everybody knows what to expect from Kansas," Texas A&M forward Antoine Wright said. "They're going to play fast, and they're going to play hard."
SELF
Coaches have already chosen Simien
as Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year after averaging 17.8 points per game and 9.3 rebounds per game last season.
"It's a great honor," Simien said. "There are a lot of other great players in this conference that could easily sneak up and lay hold to that."
Along with Simien, Langford was named to the Big 12 first team, and Miles received honorable mention.
Though he has had injury problems in the past, Simien said health was not a concern for him in his final season.
"This is it for me. This is the last year, so there really is no need for me to hold back in any way." Simien said.
Kansas is battling some injury problems in practice. Guards Stephen Vinson, Jeremy Case and forward Alex

Galino continue to miss time because of groin injuries.
Self said that Galindo's missed time in practice set him back the most because of his status as a freshman.
"He's going to be healthy." Self said. "My concern is by the time he gets healthy he's missed so many repetitions that it will be more difficult for him to be ready to play."
Forward C.J. Giles has also been held out of practice because of shin
splints.
Self has yet to determine who will fill the final spot in the starting lineup but said that he would not consider starting four guards.
"We have about four guys that are all about the same," Self said. "Nobody has really emerged yet. It's kind of a different guy in practice, and a lot of times it's a different guy throughout each practice."
Freshman forward Darnell Jackson, freshman center Sasha Kaun, Giles and junior forward Christian Moody are the current candidates for the final spot.

Kansas sweeps Iowa State despite serving problems; Transfer player improves
Brian Lewis/KANSAN
The Kansas women's volleyball team celebrates after scoring a point against Iowa State last night. The Jayhawks swept the Cyclones in their second Big 12 Conference victory of the year.
BY BILL CROSS
bcross@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas volleyball team's outside hitters led the team to its second straight Big 12 Conference victory with a sweep of Iowa State last night.
Junior Paula Caten led the Jayhawks with 13 kills, while fellow outside hitter lana Correa followed with 12.
Correa, a sophomore who struggled with a knee injury earlier this season, led the team in kills in its previous two matches.
"It's good to see our two leaders are someone besides Josi and Ashley," he said when handed the box score of last night's match.
Middle blockers Josi Lima and Ashley Michaels led the offense during the first half of the season, but Correa's return to form and Caten's steady adjustment to the speed of Big 12 volleyball have shifted some of the Jayhawks' power to the edges of the net. coach Rav Bechard said.
Before Oct. 16, Lima or Michaels led the team in six of eight Big 12 matches.
Caten, who transferred to Kansas from Barton County Community College, started fast in game one, when she posted seven kills.
Service errors — when a served ball does not land inbounds — continued to haunt the Jayhawks, as they have during the last two matches. An error by Correia let the Cyclones pull within three points. 9-6.
But then the Jayhawks unleashed a six-point rally, sparked by Lima's serves and four Caten kills.
In the second game, service errors
were a bigger problem. Four Jayhawks missed serves in the first half of the set, allowing the Cyclones to build a 15-13 lead.
The teams traded kills until a score by Lima put the Jayhawks ahead 20-19. Despite two more service errors, Kansas won the set 30-24. The Jayhawks had seven blocks in the game, including three by Michaels.
"When you get those instant points, it really makes lie a lot easier," Bechard said.
In the third game, Kansas built a 23-15 lead as Caten and Correa combined for five early kills. Kansas errors allowed Iowa State to narrow the lead to two when Correa, who had been
replaced by sophomore outside hitter Meghan Hill, returned to the game and immediately contributed her last kill of the match.
After Iowa State outside hitter Meghan Ferrie scored a kill and a block, Bechard took a time-out. His team led just 29-28. Michaels immediately ended the match with a kill that went from the right side of the net to the middle of Iowa State's baseline.
"Game one we were pretty good. Game two, we were good in the second half. But we got really sloppy at the end of the match," Bechard said.
Michaelsa said the team played a well-rounded game.
than that, everything was good for us," she said.
But she said the Jayhawks would have to play better to keep winning in the Big 12.
"We've got to beat teams who are going to be in the tournament," she said.
The team's next opponent, Kansas State, will most likely compete in December's tournament.
The Jayhawks and Wildcats will play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Ahearn Field House in Manhattan.

Home-field advantage possible
Soccer team vies for host privileges in first rounds of NCAA tournament
BY KELLIE ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
Friday's game against Iowa State may be senior day for the Kansas soccer team, but it may not be the last time the team's seven seniors take the field at SuperTarget Field.
In the NCAA women's soccer tournament, teams are allowed to play on their home fields throughout the first four rounds, and the Kansas Athletics Department wants to host every tournament game possible.
"We submitted a bid to host the first and second rounds and a regional," said Kelly Mhertens, associate athletics director. "It would be nice to host and have a great crowd behind the team."
The No: 6 Jayhawks, who are 15-3 overall and 7-2 in Big 12 Conference
play, are having the best season in school history and would qualify easily for home-field advantage in the NCAA tournament. But SuperTarget Field can't compete with other facilities across the country. It does not have sufficient seating, concession stands, bathrooms, stadium lights or locker rooms, or a sufficient press box.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said the Athletics Department did not try to host tournament games last year. Last season Kansas was the 13th seed in the tournament and joined Duke University as the only seeded teams not hosting a tournament game.
"I have no idea why we didn't send in a bid," Francis said. "But home-field advantage would be huge in the NCAA tournament, and now that we are trying to host games I think we will get to host."
"I think we have a pretty good opportunity," Mehrtens said. "The soccer committee tries to give schools a chance to host, and we have just as good a chance as anyone who is ranked like we are."
The Jayhawks' ranking and record are superior to those of last season and stand a better chance of getting home games in the first two rounds.
The NCAA women's soccer tournament consists of 64 teams, with the top 16 teams seeded. The selection committee designates 16 schools to host first- and second-round games and sends a group of four teams to each selected site.
The highest ranked team remaining after the first two rounds in each region is usually given the opportunity to host a regional event. The Final Four will be held in Carry, N.C., Dec. 5 through 7.
Kansas' Top-10 ranking will be difficult
for the selection committee to ignore, but so will the fact that SuperTarget Field does not have stadium lights.
Playing two games a day on the field should not be a problem, but if bad weather delays either game the session may not end by sundown. The first round of the tournament starts Nov. 12, and with the amount of daylight decreasing every day, that doesn't leave much room for error.
---
"The NCAA is hard to predict," said Adam Quisenberry, Kansas media relations consultant. "They may not mind that problem, but then again it could bother them."
In the past, soccer matches delayed by weather have been played at Memorial Stadium and the Hummer Sports Complex in Topeka.

SHANE KUCERA skucera@kansan.com
Pitcher proves his dedication
Editor's note: Athletes at the University of Kansas are more than just victories and statistics — they're real people with opinions on sports, life and love. Each Thursday, Kansan sportswriter Shane Kucera sits with a student athlete and discusses issues beyond the playing field.
For a season and a half he patiently sat the bench and didn't get any playing time — the most action he saw was chasing after fly balls. But, when he got his chance, Hayakawa proved to everyone he had talent.
Ryotaro Hayakawa left Narita, Japan, two years ago to play baseball at the University of Kansas. He had never heard of the University, he had never seen Kansas and he had never talked to a baseball coach here, but he decided to try to walk on to the team.
He showed up for tryouts in fall 2002 barely able to speak English. Most of the time he just nodded his head in agreement when the coaches would talk. Three times a week he would get out of bed at 5:30 a.m. and walk from Hashinger Hall down to the baseball field for morning conditioning, all so he could have a chance to play baseball in America.
This week Ryotaro Hayakawa talks about baseball and much more:
In his most notable appearance last season, the 5-foot-9 pitcher came in for more than six innings of shut-out relief against a Texas Longhorns team that would go on to play for the national championship. In just more than a season, Hayakawa went from a walk-on to earning the Tom Hendrick award for most improved player at Kansas.
Hayakawa immediately impressed coaches when his first pitches registered at 88 mph. His pitching earned him one of only two walk-on spots given in 2002.
Q: How is it being a student athlete and a foreign exchange student?
A: It's pretty tough because we have a language difference and a culture difference and everything is in a totally different style than what I did in Japan.
Q: How do you throw so hard, being a shorter-than-average pitcher?
A: The one most important thing is mechanics. It doesn't matter how big you are as long as you have good mechanics. As long as you have good mechanics then you throw hard and finish hard and you can throw 90 to 91.
Q. How do classes at KU compare to your classes in Japan?

Griffin closed the season with 311 yards rushing, including 156 in the season opener against Kansas City.
When an ankle injury sidelined him Oct. 10 against Carolina, Reuben Droughts took over and shined.

Crash could affect Gordon's Cup bid
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ricky Hendrick was like a little brother to Jeff Gordon.
As a 12-year-old boy, Ricky idolized Gordon when he began driving for Hendrick's father in 1992. Later, when he tried to become a racer himself, the four-time NASCAR champion was his mentor.
Their relationship grew, and as a young adult Ricky provided a little guidance of his own, helping Gordon through his very public divorce two years ago and easing him back into the Charlotte social scene.
Now, Ricky's death and those of nine others in the Sunday Hendrick Motorsports plane crash will almost certainly affect Gordon in his bid for
a fifth Cup title.
How so remains to be seen, but fellow drivers believe Gordon will rise to the challenge.
"Jeff Gordon has exhibited over a long period of time to be the utmost professional," Jeff Burton said. "He and Ricky I'm sure did a lot of things together. I know that will be very difficult.
"On the other hand, knowing Jeff Gordon, I wouldn't be surprised to see this springing him into running better than they've been running."
Gordon, second in the championship standings with four races to go, has used adversity as a motivator before
He has driven for no other team since his Cup debut, and now has a lifetime contract and part ownership in the company.
— especially when it concerns Hendrick Motorsports.
It's possible the recent tragedy also could further spark Jimmie Johnson's comeback.
"Jeff is extremely professional," Burton said. "That team is extremely gifted. It wouldn't surprise me for them to use this as motivation much as they did when Rick was dealing with his leukemia."
He won his first series championship in 1995 and wrapped up his second in 1997, one month after Hendrick was diagnosed with leukemia. Gordon added a third title the next season as Hendrick battled the disease that nearly killed him and kept him away from the race track.

"This means a lot to those guys — they're going to keep their heads up, I'm sure," driver Greg Biffle said.

Bonds' 700th home run ball fetches handsome online bid
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants slugger Barry Bonds' 700th home run ball drew a top bid of $804,129 yesterday after a 10-day online auction.

The baseball had received 240 offers by the time Overstock.com closed the bid-ding.
The identity of the new
GIANTS
Holly MacDonald, vice president of auctions at Overstock.com, said the site's policy is to verify that the highest bidder has the means and intention to make the purchase before declaring a winner.
The seller, baseball fan Steve Williams, got the ball after a scramble in the bleachers at SBC Park on Sept. 17. Timothy Murphy has sued Williams, saying he should get the ball because he had it locked behind his knees before Williams swiped it.
owner, a bidder nicknamed "bomasterj," was not immediately made public.
A San Francisco judge refused to hold up the sale, freeing Williams to auction it.
Murphy is pressing ahead with the lawsuit, seeking the proceeds from the ball's sale.
Bonds became the first member of the 700-homer club in 31 years. He now has 703 career home runs, trailing only Babe Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755).
In 2001, Bonds' record-setting 73rd homer of the season sparked litigation that ended when a judge ordered two men who claimed ownership to split the $450,000 the ball fetched.
Comic strip creator Todd McFarlane paid $3.2 million for Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball in 1999.

KANSAN STAFF WINTER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The strength of the Big 12 Conference was the prevailing point of discussion yesterday, as the conference's basketball players and coaches gathered in Kansas City for Big 12 Media Day.
Members of about half the conference's teams were present for the event, which was an opportunity for media members to talk with players and coaches before the start of each season. Everyone there seemed to have the same thing on their minds: The Big 12 is a talented league.
The Big 12 has three teams ranked in the Top 25. Kansas ranks as high as No. 1 and no lower than fourth in the nation in any preseason poll, making it the favorite to win the Big 12 North and the Big 12 Championship. Texas and Oklahoma State are also recognized in the Top 25. Oklahoma State, the current Big 12 champion, is the leading contender to win the Big 12 South.
"I think Oklahoma State and Kansas are going to be really good," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said.
"The only league that is better than the Big 12 is the NBA," Barry Collier, Nebraska coach, said.
For three consecutive years, the Big 12 has had at least one representative in the Final Four. In 2002, both Kansas and Oklahoma made appearances, and in 2003, Kansas and Texas were both Final Four teams.
Last year, Oklahoma State made it to the Final Four before losing to Georgia Tech.
One of the reasons Big 12 teams have been so successful in the NCAA tournament is because they play in such a diffi-
"The players want to play in this
league because they know it is one of the best leagues in the country."
Rick Barnes Texas basketball coach
He said the conference was so good that most middle-tiered Big 12 teams are better than top-ranked teams from other conferences.
cult conference, Missouri coach Quin Snyder said.
Coach Wayne Morgan, in his second year at Iowa State, and first-year Texas A&M coach Bill Gillispie are both trying to rebuild their basketball programs in a conference that has little margin for error. Morgan said that the talent level in the Big 12 made it even more difficult to finish high in the conference.
"If you win the league here, you are probably going to get a one or two seed in the tournament," Snyder said. "That is what makes it challenging. We have taken our lumps in the league, but it has helped us in the postseason."
Gillispie said his philosophy was that the way to get to the top of the Big 12 was to take baby steps.
Historically, there has not been a great deal of parity in the Big 12 Conference. Only four different teams have won the conference title in the last eight years. Kansas has won it four times, Iowa State twice, Texas once and Oklahoma State won it for the first time last year.
"Our league is the best league in the country from top to bottom." Morgan said.
"It is going to be very difficult
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
to get to where we want to be in the Big 12." Gillispie said. "It's going to take some time and effort, and it's going to take a lot of effort in a lot of different areas."
Many of the coaches agreed that the success of the Big 12 helped them recruit players and ultimately maintain the league's reputation.
"I think our league actually draws players," Morgan said. "... When you go and tell kids that we have the toughest league in the country ... kids look forward to that."
Coaches want players who want to compete with the best players in the country, Texas coach Rick Barnes said.
The Big 12 has at least one preseason first-team AllAmerican: Kansas senior forward Wayne Simien.
"The players want to play in this league because they know it is one of the best leagues in the country." he said.
A variety of others were predicted to make the honorable mention team, including Kansas senior Keith Langford, Oklahoma State senior forward Joey Graham, senior guard John Lucas and Iowa State Curtis Stinson sophomore guard.
Kansas coach Bill Self said he was conversing with a friend on Tuesday night about the preseason hype surrounding his team. His friend told him that Kansas' situation was no different than 15 or 20 other teams out there that look good on paper.
It just happens that at least three of those teams play in the Big 12.

Trek to Topeka for championship Cross Country coach encourages students to attend Big 12 title races
BY JENNIFER SHER
jsher@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Editor's note: Each Thursday Kansan sportswriter Jennifer Sher will profile a recreational hot spot. If you know of a fun or interestin place or activity, email jsher@kansan.com.
This week started out big for the men's and women's cross country teams, and if all goes well it will end the same way.
On Tuesday, seven members from the cross country teams were named to the to the 125member 2004 Men's and Women's Cross Country Academic All-Big 12 teams. This weekend the teams hope to be crowned league champions.
Coming off a strong showing at NCAA Pre Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind., last weekend, the teams will travel to Topeka this Saturday for the Big 12 Conference men's and women's

cross country championship.
The team would benefit from student support, said coach Stanley Redwine, making the Statetland Cross Country Course in Topeka the hot spot of the week.
The team put on a decent showing at the Big 12 meet last year, when the men placed fourth and the women placed 10th.
But Redwine is confident his crew will perform better this year.
"The majority of the team is much more mature, they have experience from last year," Redwine said. "They know what to expect and can take that experience and help them."
Redwine said one of the most important factors in the meet wouldn't come from practice or teaching.
telling, "I would love, just love, to have more fans out there rooting us on in the stands," Redwine said. "It would be great for the confidence of the team."
With Topeka an easy 30 minute drive away, it is reasonable for Kansas students to support their cross country teams.
A simple drive down Interstate Highway 70 could be a fun Saturday afternoon road trip.
Lawrence resident Melanie Tuffley, who is from Topeka, agrees.
"I make the drive about once a week, and it is really not bad," Tuffley said. She is taking the semester off from KU classes.
Tuffley said Topeka gets a bad rap, but she said the city has restaurants and activities that Lawrence does not.
"There are some restaurants and a mall with some different options that Lawrence does not offer." Tuffley said.
There are popular restaurant choices, including an Olive Garden and a Red Lobster.
The meet carries the potential for 15 individual Big 12 medallions, along with a league champion.
the cross country action begins Saturday when the women start at 10 a.m. The men will run at 11 a.m.
The drive to our state's capital is a great option for students looking for something to do and a way to support Kansas athletics.
"It would be be a great motivator to get the students and the community to this competition on Saturday." Redwine said.

Manning looks to crack KC defense
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning is pulling everything out this week.
Old notebooks, old tapes, anything that might give him a hint about how to beat the Kansas City Chiefs' revamped defense — again.
"They're very aggressive, they get a lot of sacks," Manning said yesterday. "They're an excellent, excellent football team."
Championship game.
The last time Manning faced the Chiefs, he had one of the best days of his career.
Manning completed 22 of 30 passes for 304 yards with three touchdowns in a 38-31 playoff victory.
His quarterback rating was 138.8 and the Colts never puntered as they advanced to the AFC
Two days later, Kansas City defensive coordinator Greg Robinson resigned.
The Chiefs replaced him with Gunther Cunningham, who served in the same capacity with the Chiefs from 1995-98 before taking over for two seasons as the Chiefs head coach in 1999.
Kansas City made few other changes, but Cunningham's more aggressive approach has given the Chiefs (2-4) a different look and is forcing the Colts to adjust.
"They're a lot different," coach Tony Dungy said. "So today was more of a learning and recognition day."
Manning and the Colts have other issues to resolve this week, too.
The defense struggled to get
off the field against Jacksonville, and the offense was set back by two turnovers and uncharacteristic penalties.
Even the special teams had an off-day last week, which resulted in consistently poor field position.
In the final minute, Manning and wide receiver Reggie Wayne even got into a shouting match.
Then Wayne shoved Manning. Afterward, Wayne denied the confrontation although it was shown on television. Wayne has not been available for questions since then.
They'll give you some looks that force you to throw and having Marvin and Reggie outside, that will be the challenge."
Manning, meanwhile, downplayed the incident yesterday.
"That's such a non-issue," he said. "Reggie is going to play a huge role in this game because they play a ton of man-to-man.
The Colts also are dealing with a new round of injuries.
Four players, including starting cornerback Nick Harper and starting guard Tupe Peko, are listed as questionable. Harper played last week with a brace on his injured left elbow, but this week, the Colts have listed him on the injury report with a shoulder injury. Peko has had back spasms and didn't practice yesterday.
Indianapolis also could be without safety Cory Bird, who hasn't practiced since hurting his calf against Jacksonville, and kick returner Brad Pyatt, who sprained his right ankle in practice last week.
'Hawks face solid Cyclone defense
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
coliainni@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWITER
TH
Last season, the Iowa State defense struggled, giving up more than 216 yards per game against the run, including 180 yards in a 36-7 defeat to Kansas.
This year, the unit is much improved and the run defense is off to its best start since 1982.
It is only giving up 124.3 yards per game.
The run-stopping unit is led by linebacker Brandon Brown. Brown is second on the team in tackles with 53.
Last week against Baylor, Brown had 13 tackles, forced a fumble, recovered two fumbles and had a sack.
Linebacker Tim Dobbins has 39 tackles and an interception so far this season.
"I really like the linebackers that they have," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "Iowa State has been playing good defense for most of the season and they have some talented kids."
The Iowa State defense could pose a problem for the Jayhawk running attack because both of Kansas' running backs are nursing injuries.
Junior running back Clark Green has a nagging groin injury and sophomore running back John Randle suffered an apparent ankle injury against Oklahoma.
It has lowered their number of yards allowed per game from about 450 yards per game to just more than 332.
The Cyclone defense has not just improved in its run defense.
"They're a good defense, they have held a lot of good teams to few points," junior offensive lineman Matt Thompson said.
The Cyclones are allowing about 24 points per
game, and will likely be a challenge for the Jayhawk offense, which struggled last week against the Sooners.
The Cyclones rank fifth in the conference in rushing defense and total defense.
"Up front, we just need to keep on improving." he said.
The Cyclones are allowing about 24 points per game, and will likely be a challenge for the Jayhawk offense, which struggled last week against the Sooners.
The Cyclones rank fifth in the conference in rushing defense and total defense.
"They are like us in a lot of ways, we play hard, they play hard." Mangino said.
While the Cyclone defense has been solid this year, its offense has struggled.
It is averaging about 305 yards of total offense per game.
Iowa State has struggled running the football, averaging fewer than three yards per carry.
At wide receiver the Cyclones are led by Todd Blythe.
Blythe has caught eight of the teams nine touchdown passes.
Cyclone quarterback Bret Meyer has 976 passing yards.
He has six touchdowns to go with 95 rushing yards.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Boston Red Sox players Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and David Ortiz celebrate after the Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 in Game 4 to win the World Series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis last night.
ST. LOUIS — The Boston Red Sox — yes, the Boston Red Sox — are World Series champions at long, long last. No more curse and no doubt about it.
Charles Rex Arbogast/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ridiculed and reviled through decades of defeat, the Red Sox didn't just beat the St. Louis Cardinals, owners of the best record in baseball, they swept them for their first crown since 1918.
After all that, the Red Sox made it look easy.
Johnny Damon homered on the fourth pitch of the game, Derek Lowe made it stand up and the Red Sox won 3-0 last night. Edgar Renteria grounded out for the final out, wrapping up a Series in which the Red Sox never trailed.
Chants of "Let's go, Red Sox!" bounced all around Busch Stadium, with Boston fans as revved-up as they were relieved. Only 10 nights earlier, the Red Sox were just three outs from getting swept by the New York Yankees in the AL championship series before becoming the first team in baseball post-season history to overcome a 3-0 deficit.
It was Boston's sixth championship, but the first after 86 years of frustration and futility. Since the Red Sox last won, there were two world wars, the Great Depression and the rise and fall of the Soviet Union.
Gone was the heartbreak of four Game 7 losses since their last title, a drought — some insist it was a curse — that really began after they sold Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920.
Damon's leadoff homer and Trot Nixon's two-out, two-run double on a 3-0 pitch were all that Lowe needed. Having won the first-round clincher against Anaheim in relief and then winning Game 7 at Yankee Stadium. Lowe blanked the Cards on a mere three hits for seven innings.
Relievers Bronson Arroyo and Alan Embree worked the eighth and Keith Foulke finished it off for his first save.
Even the heavens reacted to the news with a total lunar eclipse. And what a reward the Red Sox earned for their first Series sweep: They get to raise
the World Series banner next April 11 in the home opener at Fenway Park, with the Yankees in town forced to watch it.
The Red Sox became the third straight wild-card team to win it, relying on the guts of Curt Schilling and guile of Pedro Martinez. And they took it in the same year they traded away popular shortstop Nomar Garciaparra.
86 years in the making: Title lifts curse off Red Sox Nation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Harry Frazzee was ready for the reaction. The Boston Red Sox owner had just sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 and a $350,000 loan.
"Ruth had simply become impossible and the Boston club could no longer put up with his eccentricities," he said. "While
Ruth, without question, is the greatest hitter the game has ever seen, he is likewise one of the most selfish and inconsiderate men that ever wore a baseball uniform."
So began what's now known as The Curse of the Bambino, on Jan. 3, 1920. It lasted until last night, when the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 for a sweep and their first World Series title since 1918.
The Series flag will return to Fenway Park on April 11, and the Yankees — of all teams — will get to watch it rise. New York, which blew a three-games-to-none lead against the Red Sox in the AL championship series, is the visiting team in Boston's home opener.
For the first time in more than eight decades, the Red Sox can put behind them the sad history
that is so well known by players and fans who suffered with them for all those years.
"I heard about it before I got here," Boston closer Keith Foulke said yesterday. "I mean, it's funny that a team that's this good hasn't won for all those years, but the reason they didn't win wasn't because of a curse. The curse thing doesn't affect anyone here."
The Red Sox had won five of the first 15 World Series before the trade. Ruth, then a pitcher, too, threw a six-hit shutout against the Chicago Cubs in the series opener, winning 1-0. He then beat the Cubs 3-2 in Boston in Game 4 on three days' rest.
When Stuffy McInnis gloved second baseman Dave Shean's throw to first on Les Mann's grounder to seal Boston's 2-1
victory in Game 6 at Fenway, the reaction was muted. Perhaps it was because World War I caused the major leagues to stop the season a month early. That final game, played on Sept. 11, drew just over 15,000 fans.
"Boston is the luckiest baseball spot on earth, for it has never lost a world's series," The New York Times reported the following day.
PAUL DAVIS A STRONG VOICE FOR KU AND HIGHER EDUCATION
OF THE UNIVERSITY
1936
In 1999, the Kansas Legislature enacted the Higher Education Reorganization Act. In exchange for allowing community colleges into the Regents system, KU and other state universities were promised increased funding to bring faculty salaries up to peer levels. Unfortunately, the Legislature hasn't lived up to its promise. State Representative Paul Davis has been working hard in Topeka to change this. Paul worked with Governor Kathleen Sebelius and legislative leaders to obtain over $9 million in new funding for Kansas universities in 2004. Let's send Paul back to Topeka on November 2nd to keep fighting for us!
- co-authored a plan that would increase funding for KU and other universities so that the promises of the 1999 Higher Education Reorganization Act are met.
PAUL'S RECORD
- advocated for an overdue pay increase for KU faculty and staff.
- supports funding higher education properly so that there will be no further tuition increases for KU students.
- fought efforts to restrict the academic freedom of KU faculty members

CAPTAIN RIBMAN IN PATRIOTIC DUTY BY SPRENGELMEYER & DAVIS
SOUIRREL BY WES BENSON FOR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
AMERICA! HELP CAPTAIN RIBMAN TURN
TERRORISM
into
TERRORISN'T!
Today's Birthday (Oct. 28).
A relationship that always keeps you guessing could turn out to be the most stable one you've ever had. This is good cause it never gets boring. Now it's up to you to confirm the commitment.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19). Today is a 5.
Security is a wonderful thing to have, but is it real? It's been said that it only exists in your mind.
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Because you do such an excellent job, you can start asking for and getting more. That's not only more work, but also more pay; maybe even for less work.
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Today is on 8
The plans you make with your sweetheart in private are nobody's business but your own. While you're at it, think up another way to bring money in this weekend. Conditions will be in your favor.
Better call your committee
Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
together and make decisions now. If you wait until tomorrow, that'll be harder to accomplish.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22).
Today is a 5.
It'll be hard to make changes now; everyone's stuck in their ways. Don't fret about it; just listen and wait for a better time.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You should be just about ready to stretch and get out of your cramped position. Get some exercise so you're ready to take on more duties as soon as next week.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Today is a 6.
Ask for the money. You might get it, but don't go shopping yet. Pay off an old debt first, and you'll have a lot more to spend on a special treat later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21).
today is a 7.
you may be attracted to somebody who is quite different from you. Don't obsess on the problems; focus on the qualities you share. They're harder to spot but quite valuable.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Today is a 5.
Today is a 5.
Go ahead and concentrate. It won't do any harm, and it might help you solve a puzzle that has had you completely baffled. Stand back, and be objective.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Today is an 8.
Rest and relax while you can. New opportunities will be coming your way soon. Meanwhile, luxuriate.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Today is a F.
You may feel like you're slogging through mud to accomplish the simplest tasks. There's a lot of resistance going around, and you may have caught some of it. Don't push yourself too hard.
Today is a 5.
Today is a 9.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
You're able to concentrate a little better than usual now, so why not study money and how to make yours grow? You could turn out to be good at this. Cancer is the sign of millionaires, but Pisces is the sign of billionaires.

KU
DEDICATION: Hayakawa loves his Bon Jovi
CONTINUED
A: Pretty to
skip a class be-
lot of homework
reading material. I
didn't study a lot; I must
concentrating on playi
baseball so usually I didn't study at
all. It seems like here, study a
lot. I have to study because I
have to maintain a certain
GPA.
Q: Does the team treat
you differently because
you're from Japan?
A: I don't
feel like they
do.
Everybody
is pretty
nice to
me and
they
treat
m e
pretty
well.
Every one
of my
coaches is
nice and
every one of
my team-
mates are pretty nice to me. I
can't speak
English that
well and maybe that's why everyone takes care of me so well. They try to help me and try to be good teammates.
Q: What do you think about the United States from what you've seen of it?
A: I like it a lot because everybody is so independent and has a lot of respect. There is a lot of freedom — if a person cannot take care of responsibility, that person goes down, but if a person wants to take care of responsibility, then hard work can give a guy an opportunity to play baseball. In America I think a person has more of an opportunity to do something special compared to Japan.
Q: Was it hard to learn English?
A: Yeah, I used to be frustrated to speak English, but since I've been here two years there is not as big of a language barrier between my teammates, my teachers and my friends. I used to have a big language barrier, many times I would have to ask 'What did you say?' or have to ask what something means. I also didn't understand what coach was teaching or talking about and I would have to depend on my friends.
Q: You requested to have Bon Jovi played while you warmed up to pitch. Why is that?
A: Because I had a best friend
in Japan that gave me a Bon Jovi CD, which was the first time I listened to American music. I got so interested. I still like Bon Jovi.
Q. Why did you decide to leave Japan for Kansas?
A: I wanted to continue to play baseball. My father found Kansas — I don't know, somehow — he found a study abroad handbook and he found Kansas, which belongs to the Big 12 Conference, which is a pretty big conference, right? I just came here to give it my shot and tryout and walk on. I had confidence, but I didn't have any guarantee to make the team. I just wanted to try myself; I just wanted to put myself in a difficult situation and I want to see how I can manage difficult situations.
Q: What's the best thing about being on the baseball team?
A: I can get the friends; it's been the best thing since I've been here. Also, I can see American baseball — like not many Japanese people can play baseball in American, like in the Big 12, in a big conference, and also I was the first Japanese guy to play up in Minnesota in the summer. I can get a very good experience.
Kucera is an Omaha, Neb., senior in journalism.
English that A: Because
Ryotaro Hayakawa walked on to the KU baseball team in 2002 and immediately impressed the coaches. Hayakawa said he coming here was a test of how he can handle difficult situations, including overcoming a language barrier.

FIELD:
Home stadium lacks preferred amenities
CONTINUED FROM 18
Both stadiums have the amenities that SuperTarget Field lacks, but the Athletics Department has not submitted a bid to host using either stadium.
Other than the lighting issue, SuperTarget Field has everything needed to host the first two rounds. The opening rounds receive little hype, and Kansas will be able to accommodate the visiting teams and fans.
visiting teams tend to "I don't think the stadium will be a factor. We have the necessary facilities to host," Mehrtens said.
The bigger obstacle lies in hosting a regional. Regional games bring larger crowds and demand from the media, especially if the game is televised. This creates a problem for Kansas because the soccer stadium does not have seating on both sides of the field or an adequate area for the press.
"It we're one of the highest seeds, the committee will probably do us some favors," Quisenberry said. "But they're funny sometimes. The team could be sent anywhere."
The NCAA soccer selection committee will conduct a selection show on Nov. 8 to announce the Jayhawks' seed and whether Kansas will host any tournament games. Quisenberry said the team was planning to watch the selection show on a satellite feed at Memorial Stadium.
If the Jayhawks are not allowed to host, they would likely be sent to the closest host site, as was the case last year when they played the first two rounds at Missouri. But there is no assurance of even that. For example, Duke was sent to Texas A&M last year.

Justice visits campus
Clarence Thomas answers questions for law students
BY STEPHANIE FARLEY
sfarely@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
www.kansan.com
After 13 years on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas said he didn't feel like he had changed all that much.
"I've just grown up a little and grown out some," Thomas said, motioning to his waist.
Thomas answered questions for law students yesterday at Green Hall, east
of the Burge Union. It was his fourth trin to the University of Kansas.
Thomas said as he got older, he found he had a lot more questions than answers.
Thomas told the story of a young man at a another school who made the mistake of telling Thomas he was all-powerful because he was a justice. Thomas told the student he was expelled.
The man told Thomas he couldn't do that, because he didn't have the authority. That young man was the last to understand what he had just said, Thomas said.
"We're just human beings," Thomas said.
All of the justices may be smart and hardworking, Thomas said, but he's
"We're just human beings."

Supreme Court Justice
never found one who is omniscient.
Thomas answered students' questions for the scheduled time of one hour. He then stood outside the room for about 30 minutes and shook hands and talked with students.
Stephanie Hart, Atlanta junior, and Robert Gordon, a sophomore at the University of Missouri-Kansas City,
came to hear Thomas because their constitutional law classes. Hart said she'd always wanted to be a lawyer and grew up on shows such as Law & Order. Thomas's speech affirmed her thoughts on the Constitution, Hart said.
Hart, who's majoring in political science, wants to study corporate law.
Thomas was personable, Gordon said.
He said the fact that Chief Justice William Rehquist had been in the news lately had raised his interest in coming to see Thomas.
coming Rehnquist was admitted to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Oct. 22.

Trick-or-treat for good cause
Students collect cans by going door to door on Halloween night
By ROSS FITCH
fitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A group of college students will be trick-or-treating this weekend, but not for candy. They will be collecting canned goods for the hungry.
The Concerned, Active and Aware Students organization (CAAS) will be having its second annual "Trick-or-Treat So Others Can Eat" event on Halloween night. The service project is part of CAAS' month-long theme of Hunger Awareness at the University of Kansas.
The volunteers will head out into Lawrence neighborhoods, targeting family-based and well-lit areas of West Lawrence.
The goal for this year's event is to draw 300 volunteers and fill five SUVs with canned goods, said Jennifer Donnally, Lawrence junior and co-coordinator of CAAS. That is more than last year's 135 volunteers and three SUVs, but Donnally said the group was confident.
"This year, we've talked to a lot of organizations, and they're putting forth volunteers," she said.
It also helps that Halloween is on a Sunday night because more students can come out, she said.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Meet at 5 p.m. Sunday in the KU Memorial Stadium Parking lot by Kansas Union tunnel entrance.
Trick-or-treating is scheduled to last until 8 or 9 p.m.
Volunteers can wear tume.

Students organization
Katie Jensen, Minneapolis senior and co-director of Center for Community Outreach (CCO), said she was confident CAAS would meet its goal, as long as enthusiastic KU students helped out.
The event can help students feel more a part of Lawrence, she said.
"Volunteering within the community gives students a 'place' in Lawrence, and can create lifelong connections to the city and its people," she said.
The Lawrence community was receptive to CAAS last year, though citizens were a little surprised, Donnally said.
"People think it's itsew seeing college students trick-or-treating, and then they realize it's community service, and they're overloved," she said.
Donnally encouraged volunteers to make the evening more fun by wearing costumes, she said.

Political party
A bash like this only comes around every four years By Jennifer Voldness, Jayplay writer

When you think of parties, I'm sure the first things that come to mind are Republicans and Democrats. OK, if you're picturing a keg and a bunch of freshmen girls in
stilettos, you're not alone. But in the spirit of the ensuing election, why not host a bipartisan freedom-style fete?
Katie Nichols, Des Moines, Iowa, senior, plans to host a party she's calling "Rock the Vote," for about 40 guests. She says her original plan was to have a John Kerry party, but realized how few guests she'd have. "Since

most of my friends are Republicans, I figured nobody would show up if it was just for Democrats," she says. For all of you planning a celebration for the big night, here's a step-by-step guide to throw the best bipartisan bash on the block.
First, and most importantly, you'll need alcohol, and probably lots of it. Keeping with the theme of the evening, quench your liberal-leaning guests' thirst with The Donkey, a rum drink, or if the vote sways to the right, offer The Blue Elephant, made with Absolut Citron. For all of your guests
who are keeping their fingers crossed for the Green Party to be victorious, mix up Green Power, made with midori and cointreau. It's important to stay fair, balanced
and non-partisan throughout the evening, so if none of these drinks appeal to your invitees, offer an Uncle Sam Adams (or Sam Adams light).
You can't have a great cocktail party without great fingerfood. Anja Winikka, Overland Park senior and manager at Ritz Charles catering company, has seen people host all kinds of events. She says the way to
go when hosting a cocktail party is the "less is more" approach. For an election-style party, Winikka says to make the food festive and fun. For an easy but still delicious and complicated-looking dip, try the red, white and blue appetizer. It's quick, simple and doesn't have too many ingredients. Be liberal, in this case, and make enough for everyone. If your political debates aren't heated enough, try serving firecracker shrimp — they're sure to spice things up. Be conservative with your shrimp, however, because they go bad fast and are costly.
What you'll do:
You don't need to go overboard on decorations. It's easy to get filled with patriotic glow and turn your home into a red, white and blue version of the Griswold house in Christmas Vacation. Just get some red, white and blue candles of differing sizes and place them where your guests will be. If you really want to go all out, visit www.politicalgifts.com, where you can buy all sorts of political paraphernalia. Be ready to spend some money, though. The Supporter Kits, which contain T-shirts, buttons and bumper stickers, go for $20 a pop. For your centerpiece, get a wide vase, some miniature American flags and some red and blue jellybeans. Fill up the vase about halfway with the respective beans and put the flags in the vase as if they are flowers. It will look great in the middle of your serving plates. Then make yourself a drink, relax and wait for the guests to arrive. And leave enough time in all your busy party preparation to go vote before the polls close on Nov. 2.
At the end of the night, after all the votes are counted and the winner determined, if your candidate isn't victorious, at least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you brought people together to enjoy an evening of civic pride. And if it helps, just think: Only four more years until the next election soiree.
Firecracker Shrimp
1 pound medium-size shrimp, tails on, rinsed, patted dry, and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons hot pepper oil
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
Season shrimp with 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tbsp pepper oil. Layer shrimp in a concentric circle in the bottom of a 10- to 12-inch sauté pan, leaving about a 1-inch space between the shrimp and the rim of the pan. Drizzle remaining 2 tblspn pepper oil in the space around inside of pan. Sprinkle the popcorn kernels into the oil. Cut a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil 14 inches long. Place the foil over pan and press down firmly over shrimp, oli and popcorn. Crimp the foil securely around edges of the skillet. Place pan over medium-high heat. Cook until it begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove shrimp and place in a large bowl. Recover the pan and continue to cook for about 2 1/2 minutes. The corn should begin popping.

Vibrators. dildos and creams... oh my!
By Jayme Wiley, Jayplaywriter

The new definition of sex education
The toys and creams are strategically placed according to edibility on the table in the living room. About 30 people gather near the table, anxious to hear what the hostess is going to say next. Every 20 seconds there is a spurt of laughter, mostly from the males, as a joke is made about the human body and its sexual desires. This is the typical scene at a "Passion Party," or as they're sometimes called, "Sex Toy Parties."
Passion Parties give a spin on the typical sex education class. The obvious difference is that instead of teaching adolescents about puberty, they teach adults how to enhance their sex lives.
They're like a Tupperware Party but with love toys. The important thing for non-party-goers to remember is that they are not raunchy, but tasteful in-home presentations.
"Sex is not evil. It's a normal human experience, and I think the more people are informed of their anatomy makes people's relationships better all around," says Bridget Remer, a 35-year-old passion consultant.
Remer has been hosting Passion Parties since February of 2004 after attending a party where she realized how easy this would be for her. She is a junior high sex education teacher in Topeka, and she took up party hosting after viewing the poor job the hostesses did at the party where she was a guest. She says they weren't covering topics such a

between themselves and their spouses. Remer says most of her income from these parties comes from married, monogamous women who are 25-years-
- Most sold item among college students among the edibles is "Tasty Tease" which inhibits gag reflexes. This is a great thing for men and women. The selling price is $3.50.
- Best selling vibrator for young women is the "Jackrabbit". It runs around $50 and its batteries will last for at least two months if used twice a week.
- For women who are 30 or over, a favorite is the "C-Rings" which will keep your man loving longer for only a few bucks. These run anywhere from $10-$ 20.
old or older; but she also says that today these parties are a hot topic with college students as well.
Meghann Hesse, Wichita senior, recently hosted a party at her house in Lawrence. Thirty people attended, with a mixture of males and females. Hesse says she thought it would be fun to do, and her and she friends are always looking for ways to have fun even if that means doing it on their own. Among the toys offered were vibrators and dildos. Women can experiment with these toys to find out what they really like before engaging in sexual acts with their partner. Hesse's first experience with a party of this sort was at her house. One of her friends who is well acquainted with

probably do it again.
"If I can get women to please themselves, especially on campuses, STD's would go down and the use of condoms would go up from them being properly educated," Remer says.
Many college women who attend Passion Parties are just out to have a good time and to buy products that they might be embarrassed to go to somewhere like Priscilla's and buy.
Pliscia's and boyfriend Jessica Sands, Ozawkie junior, attended Hesse's party. This is her second sex toy party, but this time she brought her boyfriend along to participate in the fun. Sands was a good sport and agreed to try out the products that are meant to instantly bring women to tingles. Her boyfriend tried out a few of the products with her; she applied creams to her arms and he licked them off. Later, she chose to apply the "Pure Satisfaction Enhancement Gel" to her clitoris and report back to all the females what she was feeling. The gel is supposed to give the female a warming sensation as well as plump her clitoris like it would do naturally if she were getting ready to engage in a sexual act. She says that the gel did just that. Sands says it also gave her the warming sensation and it felt great. She says she would recommend it to others who enjoy clitoral stimulation of any kind.
Some say sex toy parties are a generational thing,but this isn't necessarily the case. All women can enjoy the atmosphere and products that are offered regardless of their age.
Jeff Lane, a sex therapist in Wichita, says that he first heard of Passion Parties from his 19-year-old secretary.
"Frankly, I think it's a wonderful idea...there was none of this when I was a kid," Lane says. "Girls at that time didn't even admit they masturbated — that was supposed to be a guy thing." Those who attend one of these events will become less shy and more educated about their bodies, while becoming more comfortable with their sexuality. Lane says.
Passion Parties may be a fairly new trend, but will probably stick around for decades to come. Women are no longer afraid of their sexuality. They are owning it and embracing it as opposed to shying away from it in fear of the unknown.
Remer says that she hopes to see every women attend one of these parties someday and open their hearts and minds to new experiences.

He said she said "I'll call you later."

A common phrase is "I'll call you later." The problem with it is that guys and girls interpret this in two different ways. Occasionally, it is a line used to get someone to leave you
alone altogether; but sometimes, it means just what it implies. The real question is "exactly what is later?"
Generally, women hear this phrase and think, "Cool! He'll call me as soon as he can," except for the select few who can decipher the language of the opposite sex. Alexia Mitchell, Mead senior, says, "I would expect a phone call later that day or within hours if it was a girl saying this, but I know that when a guy says that to me that it means something else."
Guys, on the other hand, think that the word "later" gives them liberty to call days or weeks later. Grant Zehner, Overland Park senior, says, "I'm usually talking about at least a day...it's indefinite almost."
Both sexes should remember that this line always means something different to the opposite sex and should use it at their discretion.

Jack is BACK
The making of an old Halloween tradition
By Megan Claus, Jayplay writer
is
BACK
A little history
Jack-o-lanterns aren't an American original, you know. As old Irish legend has it, Stingy Jack was a drunken trickster who was too sly for the Devil and too cruel for God. When he died, Jack was denied entrance into both Heaven and Hell. Instead, his soul was doomed to roam the frigid darkness of the earth, armed with only a hollowed turnip, lit by the glowing radiance of an ember.
Our Irish ancestors brought over the custom and adopted the primary use of the ever-abundant pumpkin. So abundant, that in 2003, the U.S. produced 805.3 million pounds of pumpkins. That's equal to the weight of roughly 3 million Vespa motor scooters, 161 million small laptop computers or 1 billion cans of beer. That's a lot of pumpkins.
Pumpkin Scouting
Tip: You're looking for an able-bodied pumpkin with a herculean stem.
I took my search straight to the heart of the season at the Free-State Farm pumpkin patch, 1431 N. 1900 Road, where I had myself an adventure. Among picking out a couple plump pumpkins, I climbed a hay fort, took a hayrack ride and ate a caramel apple. They sell pumpkins for $.35 a pound, about$ 5 for a medium-sized one. But for the purposes of our limited budgets, Dillions, 1015 W. $23^{rd}$ St., will sell you one for $3.99 and give you another for free. That's about the best deal in town.
Tool yourself
Tip: Specialty tools are optional.
You can actually find everything you need in your kitchen. I, however, went for the big saw, medium saw, goop scoop and all — one of those carving kits that just about every supermarket sells. If you're looking for all the gadgets, you'll find the best set at the best value at Super Target, 3201 Iowa. Pumpkin Masters Pumpkin Carving Kit comes with 16 patterns, two saws, one scoop, one poker and a drill for $3.99. Like an uber-nerd, I made full use of every single utensil. But you can easily get away with just a saw. I found an E.Z. Pumpkin Detailer Saw, "flexible and break resistant," at Dillons, for$.99. You'll also need a steak knife to carve out the lid.
Hollow Jack
Tip: This step can result in loss of blood. Sober operation and supervision required.
When you cut out the lid, angle the incision so the lid won't fall in. Use your large carving knife and cut at a four-inch radius from the stem. De-gooping the 'kin is D.J. Gumowski's, Chicago junior, favorite step. "It's the gooiest experience ever." Gumowski hasn't carved a jack-o' since high school, but promises he'll revive the tradition this year. I used a kitchen spoon and my hands to scrape out the goods. You'll want to make the interior walls about an inch-and-a-half thick.

Take a stab
Tip: Skip the store-bought patterns and print them off the web or make your own.
After using a creepy clown face pattern from my kit, I found printable ones on the Net. You can find some spooky ones at www.jack-o-lantern.com and they're free. Position your pattern on the smoothest side of the pumpkin and use masking tape to secure it. Use a pin or the poker from your kit to trace the pattern onto the pumpkin. The rounded multiple-pokes poker worked nicely for me. After you transfer your pattern, use a saw or steak knife to slice your design. Do this at a 90 degree angle so the candle light will shine straight through.
Preserve and light up
Tip: Coating the edges with petroleum jelly will keep your pumpkin from shriveling.
Be sure that there is a flat surface at the bottom of your pumpkin. You wouldn't want the candle to tip over and burn your porch down. I found a 100-piece set of tealights at HyVe, 3504 Clinton Pkwy, for $2.99. At four hours of burn time a piece,
Jack O' lanterns are a sure way to scare up some festive fall spirit with the coming of Halloween.
you can get 400 hours or 16-and-a-half days of burn time of this deal. Or, if you're most interested in just one or two, go buy a votive candle. You can find these for less than a buck almost anywhere. At Super Target, I also found Pumpkin Masters Pillar Candles, a set of two candles that burn for 12 hours a piece for $3.99. To preserve your pumpkin even longer, store it in the refrigerator when it's not on display. I know you all have plenty of room in there.
Pumpkin Smarts
Did you know..
- Pumpkin seeds can be roasted as a snack.
- Pumpkin is a fruit, not a vegetable.
- Pumpkins are 90 percent water.
- A pumpkin is really a squash.
- Cinderella's chariot was made out of a pumpkin.
- Pumpkins were once used as a remedy for freckles.
Damage control
Swimming in debt
It may seem far off now, but as college students we will soon be out on our own and many of us could find ourselves in debt, be it from credit cards or loans. In any case, if you are ever in this situation, there are some important things you can do. First, stop using credit and deal only in cash and checks. Second, consider paying off your debt in a form that has a low interest rate.
This could end up saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Third, track your spending to identify what is frivolous. Last, seek the advice of a financial adviser to plan. Whatever you do, be aggressive and smart.

minute fix
Make New Friends,but Keep the Old
If after fall break you've realized you've lost touch with hometown friends, don't despair. You can reconnect. Set up regular "dates" you won't back out on. Call each other after watching a favorite television show to talk about it. Or start a long-distance book club and discuss your latest novels - email and most evening and weekend phone calls are free. Make plans to meet up in your hometown during the holidays for some face time. But be realistic, it's not possible to maintain lasting friendships with all of your old classmates.

LIVE or DIE by the Pizza Pie
notice
From muggings to stolen cars, Lawrence drivers have all the fun.
By Erik Johnson, Jayplaywriter
Don't tell Joe Noel his job is dangerous. He doesn't want to hear it. There is no boss breathing down his neck or telling him he has to stay late Friday or come in early Saturday morning At the end of the night, when 4 a.m. finally rolls around, Noel goes home with a thick wad of cash lining his pockets. He chooses the music he listens to and no one else's. And aside from the occasional no-show, shortchanged or disgruntled drunk, everyone's delighted when Noel arrives at the door.
The Kansas City, Kan., junior has delivered for Pizza Shuttle, 1601 W. $23^{\mathrm{rd}}$ St., about 25 hours each week for more than two years. Averaging 50 stops each night, Noel admits he's seen his share of hairy situations but says he's been able to avoid trouble until recently.
Early morning, Sept. 25, however, was different. It was Noel's last delivery of the night. He was tired and eager to head home. As he stopped his 1992 Honda Accord on the 3700 block of Overland Drive in West Lawrence, one of three shadows standing on the nearby driveway suddenly ran off. Something isn't right, he thinks.
▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲
"By the time I figured out what was going on," he says, "They hit me with a board, I think. I don't really remember." As he lay on the ground, unconscious from a powerful blow to the head, five men kicked, stomped and robbed him. They stole $65 in cash, his cell phone and leafed through his wallet for whatever they could find. "I wasn't carrying any extra cash, but they took a ring off my finger that I had found on the ground somewhere. I guess they thought it might be worth something."
The men ran off with the pizza and Noel's belongings shortly after. He awoke, sort of, about five minutes later

feeling broken and bewildered. Noel says he remembers little from the next three days, but he managed to drive himself back to the store that night. His manager found him in Pizza Shuttle's parking lot, slumped over in his seat and incoherently explaining that he'd been robbed. A police officer was already in the lot examining a car that had been hit. He immediately went to the scene, and found one of Noel's shoes, his hat and his wallet, but no suspects. Two trips to the hospital revealed Noel had suffered a severe concussion. It could

have been worse, but a pair of CAT scans revealed Noel had not broken any bones in his face. "I was pretty bruised up," he says. "I had kick marks on my face, and boot marks on my arm and shoulder. I don't think they punched me at all; they just kicked me while I was down and unconscious, which is really shitty to do."
In the past two years, I delivered for three different pizza shops. But in my countless hours wandering the roads of Lawrence I've never encountered — knock on wood — anything like Noel's recent brush with the worst Lawrence has to offer. Few drivers can.

At Pizza Pro (you may have never heard of it; it went out of business in about seven months), we primarily serviced the East Lawrence area. I delivered to a trailer park on $19^{th}$ Street one afternoon, and having been there dozens of times before, was suprised to see a recent-model Cadillac Deville in the parking space. A burly, sharply dressed middle-aged man answered the door of a doublewide trailer that had nothing but a small table in the far corner. The man was entirely too well-dressed to live where he did, and my suspicions were confirmed when he asked if I had change for a $50. I did not. But with an$ 18 tip, whatever secrets he held back there were safe with me.

Another night I received an invitation to "party" with a visibly coked-out man sharing a Days Inn hotel room with three women – one in nothing but a towel and another passed out on the far bed. But those are about as wild as my stories come. Delivery drivers enjoy certain advantages on Lawrence roads your average commuter may not garner. That trapezoid-shaped magnet many shops require drivers to place atop their vehicles is nearly a free pass to park wherever I damn well please, go around those annoying "Road Closed to Through Traffic" signs or speed within reasonable limits. "I can see you have somewhere to be," a kind officer tells me after I breeze through a short, yellow-to-red stoplight last winter, "but you need to keep your speed down and watch those lights a bit closer. Have a nice evening."
SHU
DELIVER
PIZZA
SHUFFLE
Joe Noel still chooses the dangers of pizza delivery even after the beating. Noel says the pay is just too good to turn down.
"I HAD KICK MARKS ON MY FACE, AND BOOT MARKS ON MY ARM AND SHOULDER. I DON'T THINK THEY PUNCHED ME AT ALL; THEY JUST KICKED ME WHILE I WAS DOWN AND UNCONSCIOUS..."
I've been lucky.
A month ago, Preston Lynch, Olathe senior and driver for Papa John's, 2233 Louisiana St., wasn't so lucky. It was nearing 2 a.m. and he had to make one last delivery at Templin Hall before going home for the night. He left his car running — because his car-topper was stolen the night before he figured it couldn't happen again — and went inside to make the exchange. The girl didn't show, and he looked out the front window to see his car slowly moving out of the parking space. "I just dropped the pizza and ran out screaming, 'My car! My car!'" Lynch says.
Lynch chased the car around the lot, getting between it and the exit. "That's when he floored it, hit me with the mirror when I jumped out of the way, hopped the curb onto Iowa and took off." Authorities eventually found Lynch's car weeks later in St. Joseph, Mo. "I got it back, but the keys were missing," he says. "I guess he planned on driving it again." Jarett Pons is going on his fourth year as a Lawrence delivery driver. He now drives for recently opened Wheat State Pizza, 711 W. $23^{rd}$ St., and says late-night drivers often come across the after-bar crowds who suddenly feel a common bond with the pizza man and invites him in for a drink. "I have to turn it down because, well, I have to drive," Pons says. Now and then lonely-looking women also offer him to come in and "share the pizza," though he suspects they want to share a bit more than just hot food. With his car in the shop one night, Pons borrowed his girlfriend's to make the nightly rounds. Bad timing. Driving along Tennessee
Street, he rear-ended another vehicle, totaling his girlfriend's car. It was hard calling his girlfriend, Pons says, to explain that he hadn't gotten off work early but that she might want to come to Tennessee Street to claim any valuables out of her now scrap metal car.
These were all rough nights, sure. But they were nothing compared to a beating.
Just two days after Noel was beaten and robbed, another delivery driver was almost mugged by the same group of men, but managed to get away without being seriously harmed. Authorities traced the delivery call to Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway, and with the help of an employee who saw the men, two were apprehended shortly after. The next day, three more were arrested and all five are awaiting trial. Side effects from the concussion has forced Noel to relearn how to write and play the drums. It's a slow, frustrating process, and the words are still a bit small on the page, but Noel's confident he'll regain any lost abilities. Despite his experience, Noel returned to work just two weeks later. "It didn't scare me to go back to work," he says. "It could have been anyone. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." But the madness didn't end there. During his Friday back on the road, and once again his last delivery of the night, someone stole a pizza right out of his hands at the door of a delivery in West Lawrence. A fight between the thief and the rightful owner ensued, and a car door was ripped off the hinges, all in front of a justifiably shell-shocked Noel. But this guy can't be fazed. Noel says he still doesn't want another job. "I'll stay, yeah. It's the freedom that I like," he says. "And the money's good, too."

Q
(Drinking and dialing just don't mix.)
I drunk-dialed a girl I like the same night I got her number. What should I do?
That Guy, senior
a
Chris: I've drunk-dialed new love interests an unfortunately high number of times as well. And I'm supposedly really cool! You can try the "Nextdayapologycall" or just for the "I'mmoingtopretendlikeit-everhappenedcall" or just cut your losses and forget all about it. But remember that a drunk dial of this nature can appear overeager, desperate and a little creepy, but if the person is interested in you too, they may take it as a flattering sign of interest.
Jessi: Just the fact that you thought of her while inebriated is flattering. Most guys in that position will take whoever's in close proximity to their pee-pee. I applaud your drunken efforts, though it could also be interpreted as a booty call. Whatever the case, if you like her, call to clear things up and ask her out. If you were calling for some boom-boom action, just drop it altogether. P.S. If you want to limit your drunk-dials, folks, you can lock your phone and most times, you won't remember the password before morning.
Q
I'm interested in a high school girl I've known for a long time, but I know of a potential college girl who's a more realistic option for me. What should I do?
Michael, sophomore
Jessi: Ah, so you're the one perusing the playgrounds around town. I think that a high schooler's maturity level is drastically different from someone who has experienced college life. If the more realistic option isn't as appealing as the younger one, try finding someone that is more appeal and closer to your age. The age gap now is more obvious than later on, so work with your age group for the time being.
Chris: Why is one girl a more realistic option? Because she's a year older and has a HS diploma? Society feeds us all kinds of B.S. about dating, Eff That. Date whomever you want and enjoy the hell out of it. I'm not advocating old guys to date younger girls just for kicks, but if you're going to respect her, go for the one you're really interested in.
Q
For Halloween, my boyfriend and I are wanting to wear a couples costume. What are some good ideas for us?
—Unimaginative And Naked, senior
a
Jessi: Oh, the possibilities! Let's see...I've been involved in a plug and socket costume, which lends to the ever-stylish sexual innuendo. Other options are Superman and Lois Lane, Napoleon Dynamite and Deb, Greek gods Aphrodite and Adonis, Tarzan and Jane, or "period costumes." Be creative!
Chris: One year I was an Angel and my date was a Devil. It was absolutely just the cuteest thing I had ever done to make-out with a girl. Consider dressing as a Pimp and Ho, a Prostitute and a John or possibly a Dude and a Whore.

She slightly turns her head to find an elderly couple sitting at the booth to her right. Their eyes are honing in on Brooke and her boyfriend with a disapproving look.

Brooke, Overland Park senior, who prefers to have her last name withheld, joined the growing population of interracial daters when she was 17 and has only dated black men since then. She says she dated white guys before that. In fact, Brooke considered herself to be the typical cheerleader prep who never thought about dating outside of her race. She says when she was 17 she began hanging out with a new crowd of people, and most of them just happened to be black. She says she never thought of her friends as being different from her.
"It wasn't a choice in the beginning so much as being introduced to a completely different crowd," Brooke says. "I simply got along with them because they were fun and because of similar interests like lifestyles, culture, music, speech, et cetera."
Because she shared these common interests, decisions on dating were made from there. Most of us make decisions on whom to date based on appearance and personality commonities, Brooke says. Brooke says the
difficulties in her relationships stemmed not from the relationships themselves,but from the bias and opinions of others.
Brooke says when she first started to date black men, she was unsure what her family's reaction would be. Brooke has been solely dating black men for
about four years now, and her father is still not OK with Brooke's decision. Brooke contemplates whether to incorporate Marcus into her family life when it comes to her father. Brooke says her mother is fine with her relationships as long as Brooke is fine; Brooke's happiness is the most important thing in her mother's eves. Brooke is not the only one who has experienced relationship hardships with family members.
"My husband is white, and we met in Jamaica while he was visiting there," says Mitchell VanDoren, Jamaica junior. "Race was never an issue for us, but for his family, it was a huge problem. The first time I met his family, I thought to myself 'Crap! What have you gotten yourself into?"
VanDoren says her and her husband's earliest marital problems resulted from issues with his family. Her husband's family warned him about the struggles he would face marrying a woman outside his race. They also worried about the welfare of the children the couple may someday have and where the kids would fit in a society that can be cruel and judgmental. VanDoren says she never understood this, because in her eyes, she is not black and he is not white. They are simply husband and wife.
Jorday 10.28
VanDoren realizes the harshness of a world that does see people by color. "I do understand people's point of view," she says. "I can't say only ignorant people think this way because everyone in my husband's family is very smart, educated."
She knows her union with a white man may cause more hardships, but her theory is that we all live in a world of variety and always have. She says people should deal with it because this will never change. Apparently, VanDoren's in-laws have dealt with the matter and now embrace her as a part of their family. Vandoren says she enters her mother-in-law's home to find pictures of herself and her husband on the mantel in front of the door. She says this never would have happened in the beginning.
Another interracial relationship study listed on www.about.com shows interracial marriages now account for close to 1.5 million of the marriages in the United States. According to the study, this means they are doubling
every decade. The study also found that "forty percent of Americans had dated someone of another race." With numbers showing that interracial couples are on the rise, some may want to know why these relationships are occurring and what leads one to date outside of his or her race. Kerry Carlon,
Mulvane senior, says she never dated outside of her race but would like to. Carlson is Korean and her family is white. She was adopted as a baby, so living with a white family is all she has known.
"I prefer white guys to Asian men," Carlon says. "I find them more attractive and I feel that I might relate better to someone who is white over Asian because of my family background. I grew up with two
white brothers, and culturally, I understand white better than Asian."
Even though numbers show more people are accepting others' decisions to date outside their races, some still say they never would consider doing so. Constance Washington, Wichita senior, and Crystal Gentry, Kansas City, Mo., senior, both say dating outside their race is not an option, although neither one sees a problem with others doing so.
12
"I don't think I will ever date anyone that is not black," Washington says. "I am more attracted to African-Americans. I just think another black person would be more sympathetic to my needs, wants and desires."
Gentry agrees with Washington's point of view. The only difference is she has dated interracially and says she couldn't knock it until she tried it for herself. She also says she still notices interracial couples, but the couples don't jump out at her, and she doesn't see it as a problem. She says it's common and acceptable, just not for her.
Brooke says to an extent she thinks stereotypes and racism will always exist. Despite this factor, she wants people to see her for who she is, not who she dates.
"My biggest challenge within society is knowing that so many people are against my decisions on who to spend my life with," Brooke says. She also says people's insecurities may get to her for a certain amount of time, but she isn't going to let that influence or control her love life. In the end, she will be with whoever makes her happy — regardless of race.

Underneath the graffiti
An Unconventional Art Tour By Liz Beggs, Jayplaywriter
Stopped by a train again. I settle myself into the headrest, turn up Wilco and prepare to zone out for the next three to five minutes, but then I see it, on train car after train car. ALIVE written in blocked gray letters outlined in blue. PAKO sprayed in green and yellow and UNCLE SEX, an extra-disturbing message, scrawled in white and yellow. This style of graffiti originated in Philadelphia in the '60s, raced to New York, traveled across the ocean into Europe and crept into the back alleyways of Lawrence. It decorates plaster, brick and steel, walls, trains and subways.
steel, walls, trains and ammunition.
Graftifi has gotten a bad rap as the scrawling of gangs and the work of thugs, and because of its subversive nature, it is an art form unexplored by the average individual. The tags and names that are thrown-up, dotting our downtown, are vandalism to some, expression to others.
vandalism to some, expresses This expression is misunderstood by most of the population because graffiti uses stylistic writing and symbols creating a design that is sometimes illegible to the
average passerby. "We write for each other," says Denz, known among graffiti artists as one of the best graffiti writers in the Midwest, who can be only be identified by his tag name. If people cannot read it, they can't understand it, and people are afraid of what they do not understand, he says. Lawrence, it seems, is one of those cities that doesn't understand. We have no legal walls for graffiti artists to use and in fact, Tony Jones, Douglas County Community Services Coordinator, says that graffiti destroys neighborhoods and he sets out to eradicate this vandalism as quickly as possible.
quickly as possible.
Because of the urban aspect of graffiti, it has become intertwined with the hip-hop culture. According to Susan Farrell, curator of Art Crimes at www.graffiti.org, many people say that graffiti is part of hip-hop but it is more accurate to say that graffiti and hip-hop involve many of the same people and hip-hop style has been a major influence on graffiti. Denz, member of the T.A.C. (Taking All Cities) and K.D. (Kings
Destroy) crews, argues that the first element of hip-hop was graffiti. It was only after graffiti that DJs and break dancing surfaced in the hip-hop culture. Richard S. Christen, University of Portland, says the two are intertwined because graffiti shares certain characteristics of hip-hop, such as reconstructing the old to make something new.
something new.
The fear of the unknown adds to graffiti's association with the hip-hop culture and makes gangs the perfect scapegoat. While it is true that some graffiti comes from street gangs, the majority is the creative outlet for adolescents with a lower socio-economic background. Lawrence is no exception. Tony Jones thinks that most graffiti is vandalism with a personal agenda or political opinion. Denz explains that these underprivileged youth cannot afford family trips to Yellowstone or picnics in the park and graffiti becomes an outlet for them. In his essay on hip-hop writing, Christen asserts that graffiti-writing satisfies a certain need for these adolesscents and cures their isolation, boredom and feelings of powerlessness. Christen says that these adolescents are searching for an identity and a voice." The writers consistently talk about graffiti as a way to stand up and shout 'Here I am. Pay attention to me," he says.
attention to me, here.
Much like Denz, these young adults struggling for a voice join crews, which are similar to regular street gangs except that there is no element of violence. They compete against other writers by trying to outdo other crews' or writers' pieces by out-styling them. Another way writers compete is in the sheer number of tags that an individual throws up on the walls or freights. Unlike the subway cars in New York that get pulled from operation if they are tagged, freight trains still run, and they travel across the United States, ensuring national exposure.
national exposure.
"Watch next time the train cars of the Santa Fe pass by. You will get an art show from around the nation."

The inside of this bar speaks of its name-sake. The cool night air blows through the open front door and with it comes an image of a Maine fishing village with the lighthouse flashing in the night and the waves lapping against the shore. Well, okay, maybe not totally, but this blue-collar bar is definitely the hang-out if you're wanting to chill out in some cracking black vinyl booths with one of its many tap beers.

The Austin, Texas five-piece just released its self-titled, sophomore effort and will charm pants off at the Jackpot Saloon & Music Hall this Friday with Minus Story. The 21+ show will cost you $5.
Interview with Michael Booher, vocals/guitar for Zykos
What does Zykos mean?
Booher: Zykos is actually nonsense.
Our drummer's last name is Cykoski and it was similar and it stuck.
You're from Austin — will the Kansas football team upset UT in Lawrence this year? Booher: Absolutely not. Although, UT likes to lose games that they're supposed to win.
If you were locked in a room and forced to listen to either Hilary Duff's album, Lindsay Lohan's or Céline Dion's new baby tribute album — which would you choose?
Booher: Hilary Duff without a doubt. I could feel like I was back at the mall again. Céline Dion is unlistenable and I haven't heard Lindsay Lohan's stuff.
If Bill O'Reilly said he wanted to rub a falafel on you, how would you respond in a professional manner? Booher: I probably wouldn't respond professionally — he never treats other people professionally. I'd probably tell him to shut up.
U2, REM and Green Day have new albums coming out. Which bands are still relevant?
Booher: I think U2 and REM are still relevant. I like U2.I might not sound hip but I've listened to them since junior high and they put on a great live show.

Satan's Whiskers
In preparation for Halloween, we decided to take you back to the 1930s when orange bitters were a bar staple. This drink has been MIA for awhile now, and to be honest, you will have a hard time finding a bartender that knows this drink or a bar that has all the necessary ingredients, but you should definitely give this one a
try if are a fan of gin. This drink caters to both the beginning and experienced drinker because the orange flavoring covers up a lot of the alcohol taste, but the hint of gin keeps it strong enough for the veteran drinker. Satan's Whiskers can be drunk either straight or curled. Straight is made with Grand Marnier, while the curled version uses Orange Curacao.

3/4 oz. Gin

R, 105 minutes, Liberty Hall I Huckabees is inexplicable. Directed by David O. Russell, director of Three Kings, it leaves the viewer pretty much at a loss for words. It has little to no plot. It is self-important. It is in love with its own cleverness about the state of the world. It is definitely going to require a second viewing to be sure what was really going on. And yet I found myself enjoying it nevertheless.
Hoffman and Lily Tomlin as Bernard and Vivian, the Existential Detectives Albert hires in order to sort out his meaning in the world. It probably was Jude Law as Brad, the charming but crafty corporate fodder in the Huckabeees chain who is Albert's nemesis. It could have been Mark Wahlberg as Tommy, a firefighter who is suffering his

own existential crises in his crusade against the use of petroleum as the root of all evil. Or it could have been Naomi Watts as Dawn, the voice of Huckabees and Brad's girlfriend, who in learning about all these existential matters begins to wonder what it all means. And then there was Isabelle Huppert as Catherine, a nihilist who questions Bernard and Vivian's theories about everything being connected as she tries to convert and seduce Albert and Tommy along the way.
If all this seems off-kilter, that's because it is. The film is a frenzied assault on any deep thought you've ever had about the world. It does so with a loud, messy onslaught of words exchanged so fast I'm sure I
missed something. Russell has certainly created something new and refreshingly different (the fantasy scenes, complete with
a machete-wielding Albert, come to mind), and although you will find yourself laughing and pondering your own existence, you will still be wondering what the hell is going on.

The Grudge (★★★)
PG-13, 96 minutes, South Wind 12
The rare horror movie that defies expectation, The Grudge is a surprisingly exceptional exercise in cinematic scare tactics. Judging by the rowdy Friday night crowd I saw the movie with, who left the theater giddy with fright, Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar's return to the big screen is going to be a huge smash.
Gellar stars as an American foreign exchange student attending a university in Japan. After a few brief introductory scenes, the film breaks from its main character and veers into bizarre territory that catches the viewer off balance. The first half of The Grudge has no exposition, no character development and basically no point-of-view. We're introduced to one American expatriate after another, each of whom enters a haunted house and is greeted by the spectral vision of a wounded little boy
and a terrifying girl who has the ability to hover off the ground. This extended opening makes effective use of traditional horror
effects like cobwebs, creaking doors and shadow play, but there's even more going on here.
Like The Ring, The Grudge was adapted from a series of fllms from
"J-horror," a new Japanese film movement that has reinvigorated Eastern filmmaking. The director of the original Grudge movies, which (for those who dare) are now available on DVD, also directed this Hollywood remake. Takashi Shimizu's filmmaking style is pure J-horror, which favors scaring the shit out of you over telling a comprehensible story. He uses images familiar from The Ring (interactive video tape, omnipresent children) to suffuse the movie with anticipatory fear. Shimizu is a
master at knowing exactly where to put the camera so that the frame is filled with suspense. Few movies have made interior
architecture so foreboding - we dread the house in The Grudge as much as we do Regan's bedroom in The Exorcist.
Shimizu is also a witty conceptual prankster.
He's taken the conceit of characters wandering off alone to their doom and made a whole movie out of it. In one dazzling sequence, a woman escapes a creepy skyrise only to end up at an even creepier one on the other side of town. Horror crops up in moments that are traditionally designed to give the audience a breather. There's no escape.
The Grudge reduces you to a child cowering in a carnival spook house. It is, hands down, its the year's the scariest movie .
Stephen Shupe
Shaun of the Dead (☆☆☆1/2)
R, 99 minutes, South Wind 12
Flesh-eating zombies and apathetic Londoners blend seamlessly in a casually apocalyptic metropolis in this hilarious Brit horror-comedy. Shaun (Simon Pegg, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Edgar Wright) is an aimless twentysomething professional working a dead-end job and losing his ready-for-commitment girlfriend (a tart Kate
Ashfield). Worse, his roommate (a scene-stealing Nick Frost) is a lazy, unemployable mooch tempting Shaun to play video games during the day and drink at the pub at night. His troubles multiply when zombies start trudging up the neighborhood streets and driveways, and of course, it's up to Shaun to save the day.
Wright's cleverly executed direction nails the satirical aspirations of his screenplay, which
argues that zombies already exist in the soulless day-to-day monotony of modern capitalism. The film piles on the gore in the last 20 minutes and it's ultimately not for the squeamish. But Pegg's physical comedy is disarming, lending a breezy streak to the nightmarish proceedings. Look for Shaun of the Dead to become a socially relevant cult classic in the tradition of Donnie Darko.

Your fighting in this first little stage is recorded and makes up the opening title introducaren't very hard to control and when fighting it becomes easy to link combos together. After beginning a combo, you can push different buttons to launch spectacular moves. One of them includes a Thunder Kick where you launch a barrage of kicks at your opponent hurling them into near-by structures. The swordplay is only part of the fighting system in Bujingai.

This is the best part of the game. As you keep defending your enemies' attacks, your defense game will begin to lower. Once it's emptied, you will be unable to defend any attacks until it refills. It is crucial to know when to counterattack and when to jump out of the way and flank your opponents.

Bujingai is a pretty decent game, but with its real lack of story it may not be a good buy. The puzzles aren't really that tough and after a few minutes you can easily figure out the jumping and wall running system. This game can be easily enla in a rental.

Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama There Will Be A Light
Gospel legends the Blind Boys of Alabama have been making music together since FDR's third term, an absolutely ridiculous length of time. The group has written and recorded traditional and contemporary gospel for the better half of a century; even sang in a Broadway musical. It seems odd that the group's past would lead them to collaborate with a sometimes-stoned guitar wanker like Ben Harper, but here we are.
EED
are. Recorded in only eight days, There Will Be A Light is gospel rock for the 21st century. Harper provides the fireworks, like the incendiary slide riff of " $_{11}$ th Commandment," a riff so fiery one can only wonder whether Gcd approves. Generally, though, Harper steps back,
lays down something simple, and lets the round robin soul of the Blind Boys shine through. The two groups work well together on a stormy cover of Dylan's "Well, Well, Well" and the ecclesiastical anecdotes "Church House Steps" and "Wicked Man," The album's best track, "Mother Pray," is a visceral cappella version of a traditional gospel song and it's the Blind Boys at their best, coaxing and creating ample emotion.
coaxing and creating simple music. The interplay between Harper and the Blind Boys is electric and gives the album great cohesion. There Will Be A Light sounds like an album from a band that's been together for years, not an ad hoc collaboration. These two successful and tenured artists have made an album that could (and should) usher in a new generation of soul and gospel fans.

Local Bands, Politicians Helped Rock The Vote
Despite taking place on the first day of Fall Break, more than 300 people showed up at The Granada on Thursday, October 14 for Rock The Vote. The show began at 7:30 p.m. with a few words from local representatives of the Democratic party. Most of these representatives spoke briefly about the importance of voting and addressed issues surrounding this year's election. U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas), however, opted against the lecture and entertained the crowd with his one-man rendition of "This Land Is Your Land."
The show proceeded with performances from seven local bands three from Kansas City and four from Lawrence. Among the lineup was Fourth of July, Drakkar Sauna, Darling At Sea, The Girl Is A Ghost, Chemical Ali and Elevator Division. Also performing was local musician, Justin Ripley. Ripley hosts the weekly Acoustic Open Mic Night at The Jazzhaus and coordinated the Rock The Vote event with the help of Blake Swenson, ex-president of Delta Force. "It's nice to see local musicians getting together for a good cause and supporting each other's
music as well," Ripley said.
Most of the bands that chose to participate in the event are familiar to the local music scene, but some are new to it. The event allowed all of the bands and musicians to get their names out there, as well as their music. And when their time came to grace the stage, they let their voices be heard. One band member began his set by telling the crowd, "Vote if you want to. Don't let anyone tell you what to do." Most of the bands, however, stressed the importance of voting this November. They also encouraged attendees to visit the booths set up inside the venue by local politicians and to register with one of the many voter registration volunteers outside the building.
Overall, the tone of the event was very positive and supportive and the efforts of Ripley and Swenson were successful. "We hope to create a new series of events based off this show," Swenson says. "Combining local music and activism to bring about awareness really represents what Lawrence is all about, and what KU offers to the community."

Jimmy Eat World Futures
JimmyEatWorld is one of the bands that brought emo into the mainstream at the turn of the century. However, underground fanatics respected the Mesa, Ariz. band well before Bleed American/Jimmy Eat
World hit big in 2001. The band combines sweet melodies and hard, crunching rhythms better than most, and has been doing so for about 10 years.
Futures combines much of the radio-friendly (and predictable) songs similar to those on their last album with some of the more "artsy" songs from their first two albums. The first six songs, though, while catchy, seem to be manufactured for the sole purpose of appealing to the T.R.L./A.D.D. listeners, while the latter half sounds like it could have been slapped on the band's brilliant 1999 album Clarity. The album is dark—as
dark as the band has ever been — lyrically and musically. "Night Drive" really is a song I can only imagine people listening to driving down a lonely road at 4 a.m. "Work" is a guilty pleasure that epitomizes a sound that Jimmy Eat World has already claimed their own. Yes, my friends, MTV will eat this up, but a few hipsters will secretly listen.

Lessons from a burnout bring enlightement
The whir of the blender and Phish blaring over the surround-sound speakers jarred me from my sleep. It was 10 a.m., Saturday
morning in Austin, Texas. I'd been out pounding beers with my roommate and friends downtown the night before and we didn't get home until 3 a.m.
I stumbled down the hallway from my bedroom and rounded the corner into our living room. Smoke lapped out of a blue bong on the kitchen counter. My roommate, Alex, stood in the kitchen with his back to me, making margaritas and groovin' to the music. The morning sunlight fell through
the window onto his gelatinous body. All I could see was an outline of his bald, round head and belly. In my groggy haze, he looked cartoonish - like Homer Simpson or Buddha.
By Chris Crawford, Jayplay writer
"Hey man, I'm just makin's somemargaritasandlistenin'totunes," Alex slurred. "I couldn't sleep I thought I'd get started early I bought some CDs I'm sorry if it's too loud this song rocks what are you doing up?"
What I was doing was experiencing a lifechanging moment, I realized that day I couldn't live like that anymore. It wasn't just Alex who was out of control. I was only a
"What are you doing?" I say. "It's 10 in the morning."
step away from margaritas in the morning. Alex and I had too many things in common.
We both were in our mid-twenties. We both spent our days typing insurance policies, while barefoot and listening to our headphones (We worked at a very liberal insurance company). We both had dropped out of college multiple times and as a result were stuck in a rut. We had grown accustomed to the cycle of working our mind-numbing
jobs during the day and then killing as many brain cells as possible at night. We had become two fat losers lying around like beached whales, high and drunk.
But I had one thing that distinguished me from Alex. I still pictured a different end to my story. I hadn't given up. I knew I needed to try college one last time. Sink or swim, one last shot. But that was a scary proposition, considering my college career so far.
I started at Drake University out of high school in 1993. I finished two years. It was easy — no problem. And then mid-semester in the fall of 1995, life intervened. Most of my friends had transferred after the school kicked our fraternity off campus the year before. My long-distance girlfriend of two years broke up with me after I found a framed picture of her with another guy. Nice. And I was enduring an unrelenting series of illnesses connected to a spleenectomy following a car accident in 1989. So I dropped out. That semester started the snowball of my record-setting line of six dropped semesters that slowly broke my confidence.
One semester at Johnson County Community College, then two more back at Drake and two semesters at St. Edwards University in Austin. Six semesters!
When shit happens, you get depressed and I did. I fell into a deep depression fueled by booze and drugs. January 1996 to the summer of 1999 is still a blur to me. Somehow I got myself together in 1999, met my current girlfriend and moved to Austin in 2000.
But after dropping out of the last semester at St. Edwards and feeling as low as humanly possible, I started working with Alex at Austin Surplus Lines Insurance.
Every day I went to work I grew increasingly numb. I didn't care about anything.
All I could think about was how to escape and for me that meant graduating college. Why was it so easy for everyone else? Had I created a self-fulfilling prophecy that I had to fail?
The day after the margarita breakfast, I told Alex that I had to try school one last time and I was moving back to Kansas. Although I could tell he was sad to lose a friend, he was very supportive. I moved back in the summer of 2002.
I've finished four semesters and some change at the University of Kansas and I'll crack 30 when I graduate in May 2005. I still don't know what's different this time; maybe I'm older and more focused. Maybe I owe my success to a Post-it note I hung above my computer on my desk that reads, "FOCUS." Maybe having the support of family and friends back home in Kansas worked.
But one thing is sure, I owe my change of heart to Alex. During the course of two years, he brought me enlightenment. I saw in Alex what would happen if I decided that my previous failure was a blueprint for my future. Alex's ignorant bliss brought clarity to the world we had muddied up.

KU
DEDICATION: Hayakawa loves his Bon Jovi
A: Pretty tough. We skip a class because lot of homework and reading material. In Japan didn't study a lot; I was just concentrating on playing baseball so usually I didn't study at all. It seems like here I study a lot. I have to study because I have to maintain a certain GPA.
Q: Does the team treat you differently because you're from Japan?
A: I don't feel like they do. Everybody is pretty nice to me and they treat me
pretty well. Every one of my coaches is nice and every one of my teammates are pretty nice to me. I can't speak English that
well and maybe that's why everyone takes care of me so well. They try to help me and try to be good teammates.
Q: What do you think about the United States from what you've seen of it?
A: I like it a lot because everybody is so independent and has a lot of respect. There is a lot of freedom — if a person cannot take care of responsibility, that person goes down, but if a person wants to take care of responsibility, then hard work can give a guy an opportunity to play baseball. In America I think a person has more of an opportunity to do something special compared to Japan.
Q: Was it hard to learn English?
G: Was I hard to learn English.
A: Yeah, I used to be frustrated to speak English, but since I've been here two years there is not as big of a language barrier between my teammates, my teachers and my friends. I used to have a big language barrier, many times I would have to ask 'What did you say?' or have to ask what something means. I also didn't understand what coach was teaching or talking about and I would have to depend on my friends.
Q: You requested to have Bon Jovi played while you warmed up to pitch. Why is that?
A: Because I had a best friend
A: I wanted to continue to play baseball. My father found Kansas — I don't know, somehow — he found a study abroad handbook and he found Kansas, which belongs to the Big 12 Conference, which is a pretty big conference, right? I just came here to give it my shot and tryout and walk on. I had confidence, but I didn't have any guarantee to make the team. I just wanted to try myself; I just wanted to put myself in a difficult situation and I want to see how I can manage difficult situations.
in Japan that gave me a Bon Jovi CD, which was the first time I listened to American music. I got so interested. I still like Bon Jovi.
G: Why did you decide to leave Janaan for Kansas?
Q: What's the best thing about being on the baseball team?
- Kucera is an Omaha, Neb., senior in journalism.
A: I can get the friends; it's been the best thing since I've been here. Also, I can see American baseball — like not many Japanese people can play baseball in American, like in the Big 12, in a big conference, and also I was the first Japanese guy to play up in Minnesota in the summer. I can get a very good experience.
English that A: Because
Ryotaro Hayakawa walked on to the KU baseball team in 2002 and immediately impressed the coaches. Hayakawa said he coming here was a test of how he can handle difficult situations, including overcoming a language barrier.

FIELD: Home stadium lacks preferred amenities
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Both stadiums have the amenities that SuperTarget Field lacks, but the Athletics Department has not submitted a bid to host using either stadium.
Other than the lighting issue, SuperTarget Field has everything needed to host the first two rounds. The opening rounds receive little lype, and Kansas will be able to accommodate the visiting teams and fans.
The bigger obstacle lies in hosting a regional. Regional games bring larger crowds and demand from the media, especially if the game is televised. This creates a problem for Kansas because the soccer stadium does not have seating on both sides of the field or an adequate area for the press.
"I don't think the stadium will be a factor. We have the necessary facilities to host," Mehrtens said.
If the Jayhawks are not allowed to host, they would likely be sent to the closest host site, as was the case last year when they played the first two rounds at Missouri. But there is no assurance of even that. For example, Duke was sent to Texas A&M last year.
"If we're one of the highest seeds, the committee will probably do us some favors," Quisenberry said. "But they're funny sometimes. The team could be sent anywhere."
The NCAA soccer selection committee will conduct a selection show on Nov. 8 to announce the Jayhawks' seed and whether Kansas will host any tournament games. Quisenberry said the team was planning to watch the selection show on a satellite feed at Memorial Stadium.

Justice visits campus
Clarence Thomas answers questions for law students
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After 13 years on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas said he didn't feel like he had changed all that much.
"I've just grown up a little and grown out some," Thomas said, motioning to his waist.
Thomas answered questions for law students yesterday at Green Hall, east
of the Burge Union. It was his fourth tribo to the University of Kansas.
Thomas said as he got older, he found he had a lot more questions than answers.
Thomas told the story of a young man at a another school who made the mistake of telling Thomas he was allpowerful because he was a justice. Thomas told the student he was expelled.
The man told Thomas he couldn't do that, because he didn't have the authority. That young man was the last to understand what he had just said, Thomas said.
"We're just human beings," Thomas said.
"We're just human beings."
All of the Justices may be smart and hardworking, Thomas said, but he's
never found one who is omniscient.

came to hear Thomas because their constitutional law classes. Hart said she'd always wanted to be a lawyer and grew up on shows such as Law & Order. Thomas' speech affirmed her thoughts on the Constitution, Hart said.
Hart, who's majoring in political science, wants to study corporate law.
Thomas was personable, Gordon said
He said the fact that Chief Justice William Rehquist had been in the news lately had raised his interest in coming to see Thomas.
Rehnquist was admitted to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, on Oct.22.

Trick-or-treat for good cause
Students collect cans by going door to door on Halloween night
By Ross Firch
rfitch@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A group of college students will be trick-or-treating this weekend, but not for candy. They will be collecting canned goods for the hungry.
The Concerned, Active and Aware Students organization (CAAS) will be having its second annual "Trick-or-Treat So Others Can Eat" event on Halloween night. The service project is part of CAAS' month-long theme of Hunger Awareness at the University of Kansas.
The volunteers will head out into Lawrence neighborhoods, targeting family-based and well-lit areas of West Lawrence.
The goal for this year's event is to draw 300 volunteers and fill five SUVs with canned goods, said Jennifer Donnally, Lawrence junior and co-coordinator of CAAS. That is more than last year's 135 volunteers and three SUVs, but Donnally said the group was confident.
"This year, we've talked to a lot of organizations, and they're putting forth volunteers," she said.
It also helps that Halloween is on a Sunday night because more students can come out, she said.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
Meet at 5 p.m. Sunday in the KU Memorial Stadium Parking lot by Kansas Union tunnel entrance.
Trick-or-treating is scheduled to last until 8 or 9 p.m.
Volunteers can wear a costume.
source: Concerned, Active and Aware Students organization
Katie Jensen, Minneapolis senior and co-director of Center for Community Outreach (CCO), said she was confident CAAS would meet its goal, as long as enthusiastic KU students helped out.
The event can help students feel more a part of Lawrence, she said.
"Volunteering within the community gives students a 'place' in Lawrence, and can create lifelong connections to the city and its people," she said.
The Lawrence community was receptive to CAAS last year, though citizens were a little surprised, Donnally said.
"People think it's weird seeing college students trick-or-treating, and then they realize it's community service, and they're overjoyed," she said.
Donnally encouraged volunteers to make the evening more fun by wearing costumes, she said.

That was the message from David Brooks, conservative The New York Times columnist, last night. Brooks spoke to students and others about U.S. polarization in the context of next week's election as part of the Kansas Economic Policy conference. Brooks has been the editor of The Weekly
America is polarized, and that's why this election is tied and could go down to the wire again.
Brooks said the Midwest was the battleground where this election would be won. So far, this campaign has been a great carnival, Brooks said.

The most remarkable and scary aspect of this year's campaign is its similarity to the atmosphere in 2000.
"Everything in America changes except for politics," he said.

Who's my advisor?
Advisors are assigned through departments, which means that your department office (Psychology, Urban Planning, Industrial Design) is the best place to call. If you are an honors student, try calling the Honors Department. If this is your first year in a freshman-entry program, such as Engineering or Fine Arts, you will be assigned an advisor in your department. All freshmen in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, however, must be advised by someone at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center.
Expect high Kansas voter turnout
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansans are expected to head to the polls next week in numbers last seen when a president named Bush was trying to win a second term against a brash Democrat promising change.
Secretary of State Ron Turnburgh predicted yesterday approximately 1.29 million Kansans or 76 percent will vote on Tuesday, in part because of interest in the tight race between President Bush and Democrat John Kerry.
If the prediction holds, it would surpass the 1992 mark by more than 120.000 votes.
"The presidential race is obviously
The predicted turnout would surpass the 1992 mark in total ballots cast, but still fall below the 85 percent turnout of the election that featured a choice between presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
driving the election," Thornburgh said. "I'm very pleased and excited to see the opportunity that we have before us."
About 300,000 more Kansans are registered to vote this year than in 1992.
In 2000,1.08 million Kansans voted in the presidential election, or about 67 percent of those registered.
Voter registration increased by more than 100,000 after the August primary, Thornburgh said, due to aggressive efforts by candidates and parties.
Overall, 1,687,896 Kansans are registered: 779,687 Republicans, 453,039 Democrats and 443,487 unaffiliated voters.
Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee and Wyandotte counties account for 45.7 percent of all registered voters.
Each of those counties have special issues on their ballots, which Thornburgh said were factors in increased registration and participation in advance voting.
As of yesterday, more than 81,000 people had voted in Johnson County, where voters are deciding whether to approve a quarter-cent sales tax to finance cultural and sports programs in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
The tax would benefit the Kansas City Royals, the Kansas City Chiefs and a new downtown performing arts center, as well as cultural programs on both sides of the Kansas-Missouri border.
Also a factor is the highly contested 3rd District congressional race between Democrat incumbent Dennis Moore and GOP nominee Kris Kobach.
The result could be longer lines than normal for voters when they arrive at polls Tuesday, Thornburgh said, though many counties have hired additional temporary help to deal with potential problems.
Voting between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. could reduce a person's wait at polls, he said.

Brazilian Student Association sponsors mini Brazilian week
The Brazilian Student Association is sponsoring a mini Brazilian week that starts today, said BSA social chair Rafael Demarco.
The group has a Brazilian week and Carnaval during the Spring semester and people were asking us why we didn't do anything for the fall semester, said the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, junior.
Tonight from 6:30 to 8 p.m. there will be a Brazilian table at the Nova Cyber Cafe, 745 New Hampshire St.
Feijoada night will be Sunday at 6 p.m. in the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread. Feijoada is one of the most famous Brazilian dishes, Demarco said. It contains black beans, meat, rice and cassava flour.
"This is an opportunity for people to speak Portuguese, to talk and practice the language," Demarco said.
The next event is Brazilian pop music open mic night Thursday evening at 8 in the Hawks Nest, first floor of the Kansas Union.
Guarana, a Brazilian soda, and caju and passion fruit will be served at this event.
On Friday the student group will host a movie night at 7:30 in room 100 of Stauffer-Flint Hall. The movie is O Auto da Compadecida, which is comedy about Northeastern Brazilian traditions.
The week will end with the Carnaval II. More than 900 people attended the first Carnaval, Demarco said.
The party will be at 9. p.m, at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St.
Demarco encourages all students at the University of Kansas to participate in the Brazilian week events.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from the SUA ticket box on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. Tickets can also be purchased at the Brazilian Cargo Co., 4706 1/2 Holly St., Kansas City, Mo.
"Diversity is one of the University's main goals," Demarco said. "It is a good thing to try new things from different cultures."

Tina Connolly, KU graduate, and Brent McCall, Arkansas City, Ark., senior, rehearse for their play, The Art of Conquering Aja. The play will be performed today, tomorrow and next weekend, in the ECM basement.
Play shows artist's angst
Kleptomania, art and eccentric friends define ECM play
BY AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Playwright Paige McLemore shows the trials of a starving artist as a burned-out, kleptomaniac art school dropout who starts stealing as a way to pay for her group therapy.
The Art of Conquering Ajapremieres at 7:30 tonight in the basement of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 OreadAvenue.
The ECM hosts several plays throughout the semester, but the building does not require its plays to have religious significance, said Tina Connolly, the play's producer.
The play also includes Aja's obsessive compulsive best friend and she washed-up lounge singer father. Connolly said.
Connolly chose to produce the show after reading the script. "It was well-written and
"It was so well-written and funny." Connolly said.
In addition to producing, Connolly plays a character named Sheree, a ditzy kleptomaniac actress. To prepare for her role, she researched kleptomaniacs.
Alyson Schachcherer will reprise her role as Aja. The actress earned her master's degree in theatre at Kansas State University, where she met McLemore.
Schacherer performed the role for its first production for McLemore's master's thesis in 2002.
As an artist, Schacherer can identify with her character.
"How am I going to do what I love and still make ends meet?" Schacherer asked, a question she said many artists face.
Brent McCall plays Aja's obsessive compulsive friend Erroll. He said Connolly saw him in other productions at the

University and asked him to play the part.
Overall, McCall has enjoyed the production.
He has faith in all of the other actors, he said.
"Usually in shows I get really nervous by the end," the theatre and film major said, referring to opening night.
This marks Connolly's first time producing a play, but she has worked as an actress in professional theatres such as the Martin City Melodrama in Overland Park.
Connolly first read the script in August and started casting for the show in October. She graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in English and French in 1998, she said, but did not participate in theatre in college.

The Renaissance woman recently finished a romance novel, The Trophy Bride, which will be available this holiday season. she said.
Tickets cost $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors, and will be available 30 minutes before the show in the ECM basement.

Officials unsure of when explosives disappeared
NATION
There appear to be two periods of time when the 377 tons of high explosives missing from a military facility in Iraq could have been moved or stolen — in the weeks before the U.S. invasion began or several weeks in April after U.S. troops overran the Al-Qaqa base and moved on to Baghdad.
Iraqi officials told the International Atomic Energy Agency two weeks ago that the explosives vanished as a result of "theft and looting ... due to lack of security."
— Edited by Ashley Doyle
The ministry's letter said the explosives were stolen sometime after coalition forces took control of Baghdad on April 9, 2003. But they have not been able to explain how they know when the explosives were removed from bunkers sealed by the IAEA as part of the weapons inspection program.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — There are more people giving $1 million or more to partisan political groups now than before Congress passed a law aimed at taking seven-figure contributions out of elections, new figures show.
Partisan groups receive million-dollar donations
About five dozen people are on the list of $1 million-plus donors to partisan groups active in this year's presidential and congressional races. That compares with about three dozen during the heyday of party "soft money" in the 2002 election cycle and about two dozen in 2000, according to data compiled by the nonpartisan Political Money Line campaign finance tracking service.
Some of those who wrote big checks in 2002 when national party committees and members of Congress could still accept them are giving even more now — this time to nonparty partisan groups running ads and get-out-the-vote campaigns.

OPINION
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2004
www.kansan.com
NOTE FROM THE EDITORS
The Kansan failed to use primary sources in deciding and commenting on the endorsements the Editorial Board made in Wednesday's Kansan.
The endorsements failed to include reasoning for the Editorial Board's decisions and relied too heavily on third-party sources, particularly the Lawrence Journal-World. In one case, the wording was almost exact to what the Journal-World had published in its election section on Oct.24.
"This mistake was the result of rushed and poor decision-making," said Henry C. Jackson, editor of the Kansan.
Jackson said it was not intentional.
The endorsements should have represented the direct views of the
members of the Editorial Board and the candidates.
The Kansan apologizes to its readers, the candidates and the Journal-World.
Today's opinion page includes statements from some of the candidates.
The Kansan has invited each candidate in state and local elections to submit a 200-word statement or letter to the editor explaining their platform and what they see as their key issues in Tuesday's election.
Statements should be sent to opinion@kansan.com by noon today. The Kansan will continue to publish these statements on Monday.
The Kansan reserves the right to edit any submissions. Statements that attack other candidates will not be published.
EDITORIAL BOARD
Career Center underused resource for undecideds
Enrollment season is here. And perhaps enrollment has brought for you, like it has for so many others, a unique form of panic, the kind that can only come from the realizations that you still haven't chosen a major, you still have no idea what kind of career you want, and you know if you don't figure it out soon, your parents are going to stop being so jovial about fronting your tuition bill.
Being a directionless free spirit has its appeal for a semester or two. But at some point, 90 hours are accumulated, and majors must be declared. Students often feel overwhelmed by the abundance of majors available and unsure of how to select just one or two.
Fortunately, help is available right on campus. Unfortunately, students don't seem to realize what a good thing they've got.
The University Career Center in 110 Burge Union is a great resource that most students need but never realize exists.
If you're having trouble choosing a major or career path, schedule an appointment with a career counselor. They have personality tests, hundreds of books and files on majors and jobs, and trained professionals willing to meet with you every week to help you learn about selecting majors and careers.
If you're nervous about a job interview, UCC offers lots of services to prepare students for the real world: They edit resumes and cover letters, individual and group mock interviews are available to coach
students on interviewing techniques and etiquette dinners are also a popular option for people looking to learn a few manners before business dinners with the boss.
If you're trying to find an internship or summer job, the UCC sponsors numerous internships and career fairs throughout the year. The office also contains dozens of files on internships and jobs.
Every freshman should use the service to help navigate the jungle of majors available and every upperclassman should use it to get an edge on the job hunt process, improve a résumé with an internship, or create a graduate school plan.
STINSON'S VIEW
The Burge Union certainly does not have the popularity or student traffic of the Kansas Union. But, with its location right behind Jayhawker Towers and Daisy Hill and across the parking lot from Allen Fieldhouse, it's only a short walk from almost anywhere on campus. If you willingly make the trek to the Phog for basketball games, you should take a detour to the Burge.
Nobody wants to give up college life. But at some point, those scholarships will run out and parents will grow anxious to see you graduate.
Students should realize what a resource they have with the University Career Center. It can help make the transition from student to professional, undergrad to graduate, or even undecided to declared, a lot easier.

We must find ways to stimulate economic development by enhancing business incentives for existing businesses and exploring incentives for rural areas and small towns. We must support farmers and find ways to blend two competing economies - rural and urban. We need a statewide energy policy and attractive incentives to develop ethanol and wind energy.
My extensive management experience in both for profits and not profits as well as my masters in business and marketing and theology will bring the right set of skills to make a difference.
Your vote on Nov. 2 is not about whether you are a Democrat or a Republican or an unaffiliated. It's about who can truly represent the interests of all the district — not just a selected few.
By voting for me you can send a big message and a little "Justice" to Topeka.
Democratic Candidate for State Senate, 3rd District
Over the past 8 years as a member of the Kansas State Board of Education I have been committed to adequate funding for schools, better pay for teachers and rigorous curriculum for our children.
Our schools are under increasing stress, caught between the legislature and the courts overfunding and under restrictive mandates from the federal government — all without adequate resources to meet rising expectations to educate every child.
The major challenge is to convince the legislature to fund schools suitably. To assure that districts are spending state funds effectively, I've proposed voluntary technical assistance review for local boards to advise on efficient budgeting and spending. To protect science curriculum standards from creationism, I've proposed the board adopt guidelines for teaching religion in schools as a separate discipline. My experience is needed for leading our schools through these stressing times.
Bill Wagnon
Bilgesson Democratic Candidate for State Board of Education, 4th District
My name is Patrick Wilbur and I am running for the Kansas House of Representatives from the 45th district. I believe that the rights of the individual should supercede the power of bureaucracy.
I became engaged in the political process because I was alarmed that civil and economic liberties were being usurped by the power of federal and state government.
Many in the Legislature believe that the solution to the K-12 education funding issue is to raise taxes. The fact is Kansas spends more capita on education than the national average, but less per pupil. We need to look at the lack of efficiency in the system before considering a tax increase. We also need to fight the stringent, marginally funded mandates imposed by the No Child Left Behind legislation.
I will fight for the rights of every Kansan to choose personally appropriate reproductive options, choose their marriage partner, bear arms and every other right afforded by the United States and Kansas Constitutions. I will also fight for academic freedom for our state university faculty.
The futile war on drugs should end immediately. Criminalization of drugs only leads to increased crime and inefficient use of law enforcement resources.
Patrick Wilbur Libertarian Candidate for State House, 45th District
I am Jim Mullins and trust the people of Kansas to make the right decisions on "Quality of Life" issues.
I am Pro-Life and believe the citizens of Kansas should be allowed to vote whether marriage will be between a man and a woman and whether they want Concealed Carry in Kansas.
I will vote in the Senate to properly fund KPERS as promised by the State
of Kansas and to adequately fund K-12 education by putting more money into the classroom without raising taxes. Kansas is currently ranked 44th out of 50 states in the amount of money that reaches the classroom. Therefore, we must put more money into the classroom and not the district office.
My vision for K-12 schools is to sponsor a bill in the 2005 session which will give school districts a level of spending equal to the increase in the CPI (Consumer Price Index) for the next three school years.
FRI
But with that level of spending the districts must AGREE to increase their percentage of dollars going to the classroom from the current 58.6% to at least the national average of 61.5%. This could mean approximately $120,000,000 or more going into the classroom at the current level of spending.

Jim Mullins
Reform Candidate for State Senate, 2nd District
My name is Cindy Monshizadeh and I am running for Douglas County Treasurer. I wish to thank the Kansan for giving me this opportunity to explain why I believe I should be treasurer.
The treasurer's office is responsible for a variety of duties and the most visible is the registration motor vehicles and collection of real estate and personal property taxes. The statutes enacted upon by the legislators in Topeka closely regulate these functions. Therefore this office becomes an enforcement agent for the state and, so, knowledge of these statutes and how they affect the public is vital to ensure the proper handling all transactions.
I believe that my 13 years of experience in the county treasurers office along with 8 years in banking makes me the ideal candidate for the office. I have worked closely with all functions of the treasurer's office and understand the responsibilities necessary to guarantee the safeguard of the public's assets. I will work toward three goals - adequate staffing of all offices, expand electronic payment options available at each location, and improve the communication with the public. My experience is the key for these to succeed and I ask for your vote on November 2nd.

$100,000 needed for renovations to bequeathed house
Community center slated for halls
Scholarship hall residents will soon have a new meeting place. The Wilma Crawford Community Center will house the offices for the All Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC), the scholarship hall complex director and be a place for residents to hang-out.
BY STEPHANE FARLEY
sfarley@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WINTER
The Juanita Strait home, 1346 Louisiana St., will be the location of the Crawford Community Center. Strait left the home to the University when she died in Fall 2002.
Part 2002.
Tom and Jann Rudkin, KU alumni, donated $300,000 for the restoration of the home and have agreed to provide $100,000 more if the rest of the estimated $400,000 for the project is not raised. Tom lived in Battenfeld Scholarship Hall while he was attending the University. Jann lived in both Douthart and Miller scholarship halls.
The Rudkins said they also wanted a way to honor Jann's mother, Wilma "Willie" Crawford.
The hall council currently has 13 officers that share one office, Becca Evanhoe, ASHC president and a columnist for The
Contributed art
4
University Daily Kansan, said. The new office space at the Community Center would provide everyone with more space to do their own thing, said Evanhoe.
Strait's connection to the University is decades old.
Juanita Strait's husband, Reginald, was a professor of physical education for the University. The Straits bought their home in 1943. Juanita received a Bachelor of Music in Piano from Ottawa University 1929, and was a well-known music teacher.
After Reginald Strait died in May 1981, some of the scholarship hall students would go by Strait's house and help with the lawn and take care of her, said Ken Stoner, director for the University Department of Student Housing.
Matt Unger, St. Louis senior,
was one of the students who visited her. Unger, who lives in Pearson Scholarship Hall, was introduced to Strait, known as "Mrs Strait" to scholarship hall residents, by a fellow student.
Strait's home was always open for Halloween. University of Kansas scholarship hall residents would come in for cookies and hot chocolate and sing "Happy Birthday" to her, whose birthday is today.
Unger said he would make trips to Wendy's with Strait, and she almost always got a small soda, a box of chicken nuggets and a baked potato. He said all she wanted to hear about was what was going on in his life.
Strait was 93 when she died Sept. 29, 2002.
"She had become part of that little community down there and they just kind of looked after each other," said Stoner.
Strait's house is located in the center of the scholarship halls.
The estimated time for the project's completion is 10 months. Stoner said.
"The house will become her legacy," Stoner said. "I think the fact that it's going to continue on and that scholarship hall students will continue to come in and out the front doors just like they used to would please her to no end."
Siding, windows, the roof and porch are among the repairs.
Stoner said Strait had once told him she didn't know if her house was worth saving, but maybe the area could become a little park or a quiet area. She didn't want it to be paved over with a parking lot, because that was her piece and she wanted to leave something there, he said.

VISIT: Thomas said Rehnquist others are family
Thomas sits on the bench between Justices Stephen Breye and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Thomas said even though Justice Breyer and Justice Ginsburg had not come over to his way of thinking, they were his friends. Thomas said when he went on breaks or trips, he found himself actually missing his co-workers.
Rehnquist, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, underwent a tracheotomy — a procedure that creates an artificial opening in the neck for breathing — on Oct. 23.
CONTINUED FROM 1A
When asked about Rehquist, Thomas said he was family. All the justices are my family, Thomas said.
Rehnquist will return to work next Friday, Thomas said, and would be as unforgiving as ever about everyone's workload. Thomas said Rehnquist was always badgering him about cases that he hadn't turned in yet or reviewed.
Thomas addressed the controversy about the justices deciding the outcome of the 2004 election. Thomas said people accusing the Court of jumping into the election was not fair. Thomas said he was minding his own business when the controversy began and he was expected to make a decision. That's what anyone has to do when there's a lawsuit. Thomas said.
Thomas was born in Pinpoint, Georgia, and graduated from Yale Law School in 1974. Thomas joined the U.S. Supreme Court in October 1991.

POLLS: Cultural zones divide us
CONTINUED FROM 1A
Americans live affects how they vote, contributed to the division.
"Red parts are getting redder and blue parts are getting bluer," he said, referring to the colors representing wins by Republican and Democrat parties, respectively, on an electoral map.
The nation has become divided into cultural zones, where the residents don't know, like or interact with anyone outside their zone. In some cases, these zones are less than five miles apart, Brooks said.
Education is another factor, he said. The more educated Americans are usually voting a straight ticket.
Educated people pick a party and stick with it election after election.
Partisanship plays a major role in dividing the nation. Americans align themselves with the political party that is filled with people most like themselves.
Americans' party identifications can filter their reality.
The last factors Brooks listed were the rise of the religious right and the secular left and the division among career choices.
Those who routinely attend church, the religious right, are voting predominantly Republican.
Those who attend church less, the secular left, are voting predominantly Democrat. African Americans are the one exception they tend to vote more Democrat but are heavily religious. Brooks said.
Among professionals, business owners and doctors are giving more money to Republican candidates. Lawyers and university faculty and administration, on the other hand, are pledging more money to Democrats, he said.
Brooks said the solution to eliminating polarization was rediscovering the past.
energetic government with an emphasis on enhancing social mobility is the key to unifying the nation, he said.
Brooks' speech is a simple explanation of what's going on in American politics, said Rachel Francis, Shawnee senior. Francis was not as sure as Brooks about the future.

"He's optimistic that polarization could change, but I don't think it will," she said.
Lawrence resident Judy Swartz said Brooks was truthful and poignant about polarization.
With her son in the Marine Reserves, Swartz said she was a Democrat.
That didn't affect her opinion, though, as she said she was pleased with the conservative Brooks.
"I thought he presented very well," Swartz said.
And who does Brooks think will be president?
John Kerry, because of the war in Iraq.

Arafat leaves West Bank for medical care in Paris
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank — An ailing Yasser Arafat — too weak to stand, unable to hold down food and spending most of yesterday sleeping — agreed to leave his battered West Bank compound for the first time in more than two years and fly to Paris for urgent medical treatment.
The 75-year-old Palestinian leader's planned departure Friday, a decade after he arrived in the West Bank with the promise of statehood, could mark the end of an era. Arafat, who hoarded power and declined to groom a successor, leaves behind a people in disarray.
Blood tests revealed he had a low platelet count, though it was unclear what caused the ailment, his doctors said, ruling out leukemia. In deference to his deteriorating condition, Israel lifted its travel ban on Arafat, allowing him to leave his battered headquarters compound in Ramallah for the first time since 2002 and to return if he recovers.
Arafat will be moved to the Jordanian capital of Amman early today, then continue on to Paris for medical treatment, said Munnib al-Masri, an Arafat aide. Jordan sent two helicopters to pick up Arafat.
Palestinians across the Middle East anxiously, but quietly, monitored Arafat's health yesterday, but there was no mass vigil around his compound or any other public displays of support.
"I pray to God to save him because we need him, he is the safety valve for everything here, he is the father of all the Palestinians," said Imad Samara, a teacher from Gaza City.
Palestinian officials tried to play down Arafat's health problems earlier yesterday, saying he performed Muslim prayers before dawn and ate a light breakfast of cornflakes and milk.
They released a brief video and two photos showing him sitting in a chair, wearing blue pajamas and a dark stocking cap and smiling broadly as he posed with his doctors Thursday afternoon. In the video, he holds two of his doctors' hands and leans
over to kiss one of them.
Dr. Ashraf Kurdi said there was no immediate threat to Arafat's life. "His condition is good, his spirits are high," Kurdi said.
But the seriousness of his condition was underscored by the rushed arrival of Arafat's 41-year-old wife, Suha, who lives in Paris with their young daughter and has not seen her husband since 2001.
Despite Israel's promise to let Arafat return, his deteriorating condition and departure from the West Bank are likely to dramatically change Palestinian politics.
A close associate said Arafat spent most of Thursday sleeping. Arafat has been unable to hold down food, and also suffers from diarrhea, the associate said. At times, Arafat appeared confused, not recognizing some of his visitors, he added.
Bulldozers entered Arafat's compound Thursday night and began clearing away rubble and cars crushed by Israeli raids there, presumably to make room for a makeshift helipad.
Campaigns focus on Iraq war
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAGINAW, Mich. — Bitingly personal, President Bush called U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) too weak and wavering for wartime leadership yesterday while the Democrat held Bush responsible for missing explosives in Iraq.
"The commander in chief is not getting his job done," Kerry said.
For the fourth-straight day, the candidates exchanged harsh words about the disappearance of nearly 400 tons of explosives stored at Iraq's Al-Qaqaa military installation. The 11th-hour political stir is

Volleyball team to try to snap 10-year losing streak against K-State

The last time Kansas beat Kansas State in volleyball, the current volleyball seniors were in fifth grade.
matter in five games.
The Jayhawks have one more chance to end the streak before the 10th anniversary of that victory. The Wildcats host the Jayhawks at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at Ahearn Field House in Manhattan.
It was Nov. 16, 1994. The underdog Jayhawks came back from a 2-1 deficit to win the match in five games.
"It's going to take a great effort, but we think we've got it in us," he said.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard, was optimistic after Wednesday's sweep of Iowa State.
The 10-year losing skid is not a factor for his players, Bechard said.
"They don't care. They don't remember 10 days ago," he said. "They just know that, since they've been here, it hasn't gone as well as they'd hoped."
Kansas State coach Susie Fritz, who played for Bechard for two years at Barton County Community College and later became his assistant, said the streak did not affect her players for better or worse.
"I like to think my players won't let themselves get distracted with any kind of streak, good or bad," she said.
She said playing against her former coach did not affect the match.
"I'm proud of what she's done, but it's a Big 12 match like everyone else," he said.
Bechard said he did not change his coaching when he faced Fritz.
Middle blocker Ashley Michaels, one of four seniors who could take their last regular season shot at the Wildcats tomorrow, said the team would have to beat tournament-caliber
teams in the conference, such as Kansas State, to make its second-ever NCAA tournament.
Junior outside hitter Paula Caten, a Barton County transfer, said the Jayhawks had to win tomorrow to keep their postseason hopes alive.
"We have to do it. This is it," Caten said. "Before, we'd say, 'Oh, we can lose this many games.' We don't have that anymore."
Michaels said the team would be ready.

PAUL DAVIS A LEADER WHO LISTENS
REP. DAVIS
We need legislators in Topeka who are part of the solution, not part of the problem. In the past two years, State Representative Paul Davis has been a leader who has offered solutions to the difficult challenges that our state faces. He has tackled the tough issues because he listens to your concerns.
- Paul listened when you said schools should be properly funded.
- Paul listened when you said the Legislature should keep its promises to KU and the other regents institutions.
- Paul listened when you said senior citizens and persons with disabilities should get the services they deserve from the state
- Paul listened when you said state government ought to run more efficiently and bureaucracy should be streamlined.
Let's send Paul back to Topeka on Tuesday to keep fighting for us!

Mangino could win first conference road game
BY RYAN COLLAIANNI AND JONATHAN KEALING sports@kansan.com KANSAN SPORTSWITTERS
Overall
of has hat is to
After falling last week to Oklahoma, Kansas looks to rebound with a Big 12 Conference road victory, which has eluded them since coach Mark Mangino came to Kansas. When the team faces Iowa State tomorrow in Ames, Iowa, the team will have its best opportunity to end that streak.
Iowa State's offense has struggled and is currently ranked last in scoring total offense in the Big 12. Kansas' offense has not been much better. The team is ranked 11th in total offense in the Big 12. Expect the Jaihawk defense to continue to impress and shut down the Cyclone offense. Kansas should get its first Big 12 road victory under Mangino against Iowa State.
Pick: Kansas
Offensive Line
Kansas' offensive line has struggled at times this season in giving quarterbacks time to throw the football or open up holes for the Jayhawk running backs. What they have done a decent job of is protecting their quarterback, allowing just 12 sacks on the season, compared to the Cyclone offensive line which has allowed 24. If the Jayhawks want to have a chance to win tomorrow they need the offensive line to give time for Adam Barmann to deliver the football to his wide receivers. The Cyclones have struggled to open holes for their running backs as they have averaged under three yards per carry. With the insecurity on the Cyclone defensive line, Kansas gets the edge.
Rideau is the team leader in touchdowns with five and leads the team in receiving yards with 383 yards on 55 catches. The difference in the teams' receivers is Iowa State has three players with more than 10 catches while the Jayhawks have six. With their ability to spread the football around, the Jayhawks get the edge.
Edge: Kansas
Freshman Todd Blythe leads Iowa State's wide receivers with eight touchdowns this season. Unfortunately for the Cyclones, they have only one other passing touchdown. Blythe has caught 23 passes on the year for nearly 500 yards. Kansas senior Brandon Rideau's 78-yard touchdown catch last week against Oklahoma was the team's high point in the game.
Edge: Kansas
Quarterback
Wide Receiver
John Randle
The Kansas offense has not played to the level of the defense this season.
Quarterbacks Adam Barmann, sophomore, and Jason Swanson, junior have taken turns leading the offense.
Neither has fantastic numbers. John
Last week, coach Mark Mangino tried playing both. It did not exactly work.
Mangino said the team had been putting its energy into preparing Adam Barmann to start this week. Mangino was not ready to declare a definite starter, indications point toward Barmann reassuming control of the position.
Iowa State has had a dual-quarterback system of its own. Freshman Brett Meyer is listed as the starter, but sophomore Austin Flynn has played in six of the team's seven games. Meyer ranks 10th in the Big 12 in passing efficiency. He has six touchdowns and three interceptions this season.
Iowa State's situation is not ideal, but until a Kansas quarterback steps up, it's hard to give Kansas the advantage.
Randle's 959 all-purpose yards ranks fifth in the Big 12.
After last week's game, Mangino said both sophomore John Randle and junior Clark Green were trying to recover from their injuries. They appear to be prepared for this week's game, but their injuries have limited their recent effectiveness. Randle, the regular starter, has averaged 4 yards per carry this season, for a total of 473 yards rushing.
and he has seven touchdowns in seven games.

Kansas
Defensive Line
The Kansas defensive line has set the tone for the rest of the Ja y ha w k
defense all season. Last week, they sacked Oklahoma senior quarterback Jason White. Before that game, opposing teams had sacked Oklahoma's quarterback only three times all season. The Jayhawks have 14 sacks this season, led by senior David McMillan who has four. The defensive line has enabled Kansas to be stingy against the run, allowing 108.1 yards per game, good for third-best in the conference. The Iowa State rushing defense is strong as well, giving up 124.3 yards per game, which is the team's best run defense performance since 1982. Expect the Kansas defensive line to be successful pressuring the quarterback because Iowa State has allowed 24 sacks on the season.
which has 12 interceptions this season. The Kansas secondary may not have many opportunities for deep interceptions because Iowa State has a seasonlong pass reception of 47 yards this season. The Cyclone defense has nine interceptions this season. They are allowing just more than 208 yards passing per game while the Jayhawks are ranked 11th in the Big 12 in the category, allowing more than 250 yards per game.
Edge: Kansas
Secondary:
Kansas junior cornerback Theo Baines was injured last week for the secondstraight game, but Mangino said Baines would play tomorrow. Baines and sophomore corner back Charles Gordon lead the unit.
The Jayhawks' struggle in recent weeks against the pass, gives the edge to the Cyclones.
Edge: Iowa State
Kansas' linebackers are the foundation of its solid defense. All season long, the defense has kept the team in close games, and had the third-most success stopping the run in the Big 12.
Junior Nick Reid has led the Big 12 in tackling for most of the season and is currently seven tackles behind Nebraska' Barrett Ruud. Reid leads the big 12 in tackles for loss with 8.5. With 149 tackles, Kansas' linebackers have 19 more tackles than Iowa State's.
the run. Iowa State's rushing defense is ranked fifth, allowing 124.3 yards per game on the ground. This season, Iowa State has given up nine touchdowns on the ground, fifth most in the Big 12. There is no shortage of experience in Iowa State's linebackers, including senior Brandon Brown, who was an honorable-mention All-Big 12 selection last season and was the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week last week.
Edge: Kansas
Special Teams
Iowa State's field goal kickers actually have a worse conversion rate than Kansas'. At just 3 for 11, Iowa State has completed only 27 percent of its field goals
Kansas seems to have a handle on its kicking situation. The team has settled on freshman Kyle Tucker at punter, freshman Scott Webb kicking points after touchdowns and senior Johnny Beck kicking field goals. Since adopting the current scheme, the team has converted its field goals and improved its punting.
and is ranked last in the Big 12. Kansas, at 8 for 15 has completed 53 percent and is ranked 11th.
Iowa State's Dan McCarney has coached the Cyclones for 10-consecutive years, the second longest tenure in the Big 12 and the 13th-longest in Division I-A. He has coached Seneca Wallace, a 3000-yard passer, Troy Davis, a 2000-yard rusher and Lane Daniels, a 1000-yard receiver. He has won bowl games and has led his team to high rankings in the Associated Press poll.
Coaches
Mangino is regarded for his coaching potential and his work as an assistant. He has already brought Kansas a long way from the dumps in which he found it. A bowl game, and a victory against Kansas State are just two of his accomplishments. Mangino is on the way up, but he still hasn't proven his team can win on the road.

Arrowhead agreement for'Hawks not reached
Contrary to an announcement by the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday, no agreement has yet been
KU
reached about Kansas and Oklahoma playing a football game at A rrow he ad Stadium, next season, said associate athletics director Jim Marchiony
"We've had great conversations with the Chiefs but nothing has been worked out yet," Marchiony said.
The game, scheduled for Oct. 15, may be played at Arrowhead, but as of now the agreement is simply an outline of something both organizations would like to do.
If Kansas was to play a Arrowhead, it would be the
team's first game played in an NFL stadium since the Jayhawks participated in the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 28, 1993.
Kansas was shut out by Florida State 42-0.
Kansas remains in contention for a trip to the Big 12 Title game, which is also played in Arrowhead, at the end of this season.

Mourning plays again after kidney transplant
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Alonzo Mourning played in a game for the first time since a kidney transplant in December, and he scored 12 points in 19 minutes for the New Jersey Nets in a 96-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers last night.
Mourning, 34, peeled off his sweat pants midway through the first quarter and walked into the preseason game with 6:15 to play.
About half the fans in the sparsely filled Continental Airlines Arena gave him a standing ovation.
The cheers got louder 4 seconds later when Richard Jefferson found Mourning at the foul line and he swished a jumper.
Mourning was supposed to play 8-to-10 minutes, but he remarkably almost doubled that. Coach Lawrence Frank even asked him at one point in the second quarter if he was OK. Mourning smiled and said "Yes."
The 12-year-veteran was 3-of-5 from the field and 6-of-10 from the free throw line.
"I count my blessings every day and I realize how fortunate I am," Mourning said before the game. "Sometimes you've got to look back and I look back very often in order to look forward. In looking back, I'm able to build
"Just doing all the right things to prepare myself, making the changes I had to make in my life, from the standpoint of my diet and rest and my mental and physical approach toward preparation has made a big difference in my progress," the seven-time All-Star said.
Frank led the cheers as Mourning walked off the court.
off of where I was and where I am now.
Mourning is attempting to be the second pro athlete to return from a kidney transplant.
The first was former San Antonio Spurs swingman Sean Elliott, who played 71 games over two seasons after undergoing a transplant in 1999.

'Hawks to face Cyclones
Today's match could be last home game for 7 seniors
BY JASON ELMQUIST
jelmquist@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Today's final game of the regular season could have big implications on the soccer team.
The team's 3 p.m. game against Iowa State could be the last home game for seven seniors, and could give the seniors the opportunity to end their careers as co-champions of the Big 12.
The No. 7 Jayhawks will face a Cyclones team that is in the midst of a three game losing skid. But Iowa State, who is currently 7th in the Big 12 Conference standings with a 4-5 record, has actually outscored conference opponents 12-10.
"Obviously, it's a huge game, especially for the seven seniors," said senior defender Stacy Leeper. "We want to go out on a good note for our home fans because we don't know for sure if we'll get to host a game."
Leeper, who started in all 18 games
this season, leads the back four defenders that has been a major reason for the Jayhawks' success, as they are second to only Penn State in goals allowed with six.
Senior goalkeeper Meghan Miller leads the defense. She leads all Big 12 goallies with a 0.33 goals against average, which ranks her sixth in the nation. Miller has achieved 11 of the team's 12 shutouts this season, which ties the team for first in the country with four other teams.
While Miller is the senior leader on defense, senior forward Rachel Gilfillan is tied with junior Caroline Smith on the offensive side of the ball with seven goals each.
Other seniors playing their last home game include midfielders Amy Geha, who has two goals, one of which was a game-winner, and four assists for eight points, Gabriela Quiggle, who has one assist and has played a key role coming off the bench in 16 games, and Lauren Williams, who has one goal and four
assists for six points. Forward Monica Brothers, who has one goal, which was a game-winner, and four assists for six points round out the senior squad.
"It's going to be an emotional night for the seven of us, our parents, and the team as well." Miller said.
Coach Mark Francis expressed that the team still needed to focus on the match up against Iowa State.
"We focus on the process of what we need to do to be successful in the game, and that's kind of what we really are trying to focus on," said Francis. "All the other stuff is going to be a result of us winning the game."
The prospects of winning a Big 12 Championship will cap off the success the senior class has brought to the Kansas program. The group has brought Kansas its only two NCAA appearances, including last season's Sweet 16 run and have compiled 57 wins in its four years.

Team adjusts its game playing style
BY PAUL BRAND
pbrand@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIETER
Accompanied by senior Blair Waltz and junior Crystal Kemp, Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson made it clear at Big 12 Media Day that the inexperience of her 10-person roster is a problem that excludes no one.
"Right now, I have 10 freshmen, and two true freshmen," Henrickson said of a Kansas team she took over following the end of last season.
Since Henrickson assumed control as the women's basketball coach, all players were given a clean slate and were expected to absorb an entirely new approach and coaching staff With this fresh start comes an understanding that a new foundation must be made; even by the seniors.
"It's basically going back to being a freshman again," Waltz said. "It's just kind of going back to the basics."
Henrickson's new system is not the only issue confronting the team. The Jayhawks have to adjust to a new playing style in the Big 12 Conference, one of college basketball's toughest conferences.
Seven Big 12 teams earned NCAA tournament berths in 2004, and this year has five conference teams Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas State — returning strong rosters for the 2004-2005 season.
Although Henrickson recognizes the tough competition of the Big 12, she remains optimistic about the potential for growth in the program.
she said. "I wouldn't have come to Kansas if I thought that was impossible."
Competing with the Big 12's upperter teams of the Big 12 will present obvious problems to the small roster of the Jayhawks, whose tallest player, Kemp, is only 6-foot-2.
"We understand what's coming at us as far as size." Henrickson said.
"We realize we have to beat K-State."
To combat this expected difficulty, Kansas has been preparing early in practice to deal with the dynamics of a taller opponent. To Henrickson, dealing with superior height is only a mental matter and can be overcome using resourceful coaching.
"It's not how big you are, it's how big you play," she said. "We are obviously going to have to bring some help and bring it from different parts of the floor and be creative."
Henrickson said former coach Marian Washington's cooperation earlier has helped ease the transition period.
"From coach Washington we have had nothing but support, and our communication with her has been nothing but positive." Henrickson said.
Despite the help from Washington in the transition phase, Henrickson inherits a roster with members from team that finished 9-19 last season. But even with the lack of recent success.
Henrickson's confidence and optimism have rubbed off on the "young" team.
"I think it is just mostly we have more confidence in each other," Waltz said. "We have developed that self-confidence.
Kansas takes top spot in preseason poll
- Edited by Neil Mulka
Preseason praise for this year's men's basketball team keeps on coming.
Oklahoma State, Texas also in coaches poll
Yesterday evening, the first ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll was released and Kansas was the leader of the pack. It was close though.
Wake Forest is just 17 points behind Kansas, and actually garnered more first place votes than any other team on the list. The first place votes split seven ways, giving Wake Forest 12, Kansas with eight, North Carolina with six and Georgia Tech, Illinois, Oklahoma State and Louisville with one vote each.
Included in the Top 25 are six Atlantic Coast Conference teams, including the three ranked directly behind Kansas, the Big East and the Southeastern Conference with four teams each and the Big 12 Conference
"They are going to be there regardless." Self said. "I think that with the expectations, they put you in a position to operate under pressure."
At Wednesday's Big 12 Media Day, Kansas coach Bill Self said his team might as well embrace the preseason expectations.
So far this season, Kansas and Wake Forest have been first or second in most of the preseason polls.
with three teams.
Rounding out the top ten are Syracuse, Connecticut, Oklahoma State, Kentucky and Michigan State.
Kansas starts the season with an exhibition game against Emporia State at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7

No.2 position not yet claimed
Senior Chris Jones said each runner on the men's team needed to run to his potential and not be rattled if something unexpected happened in the race.

The men's and women's teams are coming off disappointing finishes at NCAA Pre-Nationals on Oct. 16 in Indiana, where the men's squad placed 22nd out of 37 teams and the women's side finished last out of 36.
"We just have to run better than we've been doing," he said. "We haven't had a great meet yet."
Doug Clark, Kansas distance coach,
conceded that Colorado, which won
Pre-Nationals, was heavily favored.
But beyond the Buffaloes, he said, the
field was wide open.
After traveling to St. Paul, Minn., and Terre Haute, Ind., for their last two meets, the Kansas cross country teams will stay close to home tomorrow for the Big 12 Championships in Topeka.
The men's squad has fared well against Big 12 competition this year, finishing ahead of Baylor, Kansas State, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, and only losing to Colorado, which has won the Big 12 Championships each year since the conference expanded to 12 teams in 1996.
If the women's squad finished in the middle of the conference that would be a success, Clark said.
"After [Colorado], there's going to be three or four teams — Texas, us, Oklahoma State — shooting for second," Clark said.
Major said the women's team needed to stay in a tight pack throughout the race, which it was working on in practice by running together in workouts.
The women's team lost three of its top five runners from the meet last year because of graduation, but the men returned eight of the nine runners who competed.
"If our girls our healthy and we get good races out of them, our top end will be sixth or seventh," he said.
Sophomore Laura Major said the team would be focusing on itself rather than the competitors, but admitted that a win over a couple of rivals would taste sweet.
"We'd like to beat K-State, of course, because we don't like K-State," she said. "And we don't like Mizzou."
"We definitely want to do better than we did the previous year," Redwine said. "If everyone is healthy, I think that can be attained."
Sophomore Benson Chesang is expected to lead the men's team after placing third out of 256 runners at Pre-Nationals. Jones said the rest of the team needed to finish closer to him. Junior Matt French was the Jayhawks' next finisher at Pre-Nationals with 100th place.
Coach Stanley Redwine said that both squads were capable of improving over last season, when the men placed fourth and the women placed 10th. The men's finish was the highest Jiahawk conference finish since 1994, the last year it made the NCAA Championships.
The meet will be held at the Stateland Cross Country Fairgrounds in Topeka, where the Jayhawks competed in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on Sept. 11. At the meet, the men won out of six teams and the women placed fourth out of eight.
Jones said the teams' familiarity with the course, which many runners complained about after the meet, would give them a mental boost.
"It gives us ease of mind going in," he said. "We won't be shocked that the footing isn't great, or that the turns are really tight. We should feel confident because we've already had success there."
The women's 6-kilometer race will be held at 10 a.m., followed by the men's 8-kilometer race at 11 a.m.
