National headquarters explores potential violations

Representatives from the national headquarters of Sigma Nu fraternity are looking into allegations of hazing at the local chapter.
Brad Beacham, executive national director, confirmed that representatives were in Lawrence investigating the fraternity.
"We are looking into allegations with the risk management policy." Beacham said.
There was no timetable for completion of the investigation,
which is ongoing, Beacham said.
"We still have some more work. We're in the early stages," Beacham said.
When reached for questions, Jason Shaad, president of Sigma Nu, said he had no comment.
Others in the greek community see the investigation as casting a negative light on the organization.
"Even accusations such as this can really have a negative image on the greek community, which makes it all the more important to publicize our positive contributions," said Scott Shorten, president of the Interfraternity Council.
While no punishment has been issued, any incidents of hazing would be handled by the University of Kansas in addition to the national organization.
Incidents other than hazing would be dealt with by the IFC judicial board, Shorten said.
"We have full faith in the Sigma Nu national organization," he said.
This is not the first time the fraternity, established at the
University of Kansas in 1884 has been under investigation for incidents related to hazing.
In October of 2003 the fraternity was placed on probation as a result of an investigation conducted by University staff and members of IFC.
That hazing incident, which occurred Aug. 13, 2003, involved a tradition where members of the house threw a pledge into the air.
On that occasion, the pledge was thrown out a window and suffered a head injury.

Pi Kappa Phi fears losing house to returning fraternity

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Pi Kappa Phi is growing concerned about its housing as the men of Alpha Tau Omega are making a push to return to campus.
Pi Kappa Phi currently leases the house at 1537 Tennessee St. from Alpha Tau Omega, which left the University of Kansas in 2001. Now that the fraternity is making an effort to return to campus, Pi Kappa Phi could soon be looking for another place to live.
"I really don't try to think about it too much. I know it's in the back of my mind," said Zack Zimmerman, Wichita senior and president of Pi Kappa Phi.
The members of Alpha Tau Omega signed a three-year lease with two one-year renewals, allowing the men to live in the house for five years.
The lease will end in a year, and though the members of Alpha Tau Omega would like to re-establish their fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi would like to buy the house.
"We're going to try and acquire the facility," said Charlie Mitts, housing corporation president for Pi Kappa Phi. "Fraternity and sorority life buildings are hard to find in Lawrence."
Zimmerman said it would be difficult for the group that owns the house to re-establish.
"It's a tough situation," Zimmerman said. "You want to see the Greek community thriving at KU but at the same time if it could be a threat of our living conditions then I don't want to see that happen."
Despite Pi Kappa Phi's plans, Alpha Tau Omega plans on moving back in to the house.

University to accept students
Late fees waived for those from campuses hit
BY FRANK TANKARD

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
A week ago, Laury Pflaum was getting ready for her junior year at Tulane University. Now Pflaum, an Overland Park native, may be looking for a new school.
For students from Gulf Coast colleges that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina, that new school could be the University of Kansas.
Hurricane Katrina has shut down several colleges, including Tulane, and forced thousands of students to find new places to study.
Nearly 30 students had called the University of Kansas by 2
p. m. yesterday and asked about being admitted to the University, said Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of admissions and scholarships.
Pflaum, who has sought shelter in Galveston, Texas, said she was waiting for Tulane to announce if and when classes would resume before deciding what she would do. She said she was originally scheduled to start classes yesterday.
Pflaum, a finance major, was worried that some of her business classes wouldn't transfer and that she wouldn't be able to make up for lost class time.
"I'm still holding out," she said. "I'm hoping the university will make the announcement soon. It'll be hard for a university to accept us because we started so late. Hopefully they'll make a decision in the next couple days."

Kansans urged to stay home
Kansas Emergency Management is urging Kansans concerned about Hurricane Katrina not to head to the Gulf Coast but rather to stay home and donate to the American Red Cross and other professional aid organizations.
"We know that their hearts are in the right place, and there will probably be opportunities for people to volunteer. But right now, we need to let the professionals do their jobs, assessing the situation to see what is needed and where it is needed." Major General Tod Bunting, Kansas adjunct general and director of Kansas Emergency Management, said in a statement.
Organizations currently providing food, water, medical supplies and other neces
sites to the Gulf Coast region include the U.S. Coast Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Department of Transportation, the National Guard, the Department of Agriculture and the American Red Cross.
The Laurence Journal World reported yesterday that four local Douglas County Red Cross volunteers were headed to the Gulf Coast this week.
Joy Moser, spokesperson for the Kansas Adjutant General's Department, warned against untrained Kansans heading south.
"We're not encouraging people to do any volunteering other than through professional organizations at this point," she said.

What do you THINK?
BY MEGAN PENROD
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Editor's Note: As part of the new, daily 2A features, every Thursday the Kansan will have a "What do you Think," which will ask students about a recent news topic.
How do you feel about the Lawrence ordinance that may reduce the penalty for people caught with marijuana?
.
-Kelly Kerr, Leawood sophomore
"I think it's a great idea. They did it in Columbia, Mo., and I know a couple of friends from there and they said it's worked out better because marijuana is not as violent as alcohol. I don't think that the government should control what people put in their own bodies anyway."
"Sure, go ahead and make it a lesser offense. It isn't all that bad. It definitely isn't as bad as most people tell you. I think, generally, it makes people very complacent, so I still don't see a reason to have it be illegal per se. It was a poor decision by the courts to make medical marijuana illegal."
-Andrew Smith, Virginia Beach, Va., junior
DAMIEN HUNTER
"Someone could do it knowing it could get expunged off their record. It'll probably make the problem worse. If it's banned federally we're just saying it's OK now."
-Justin Venkatsammy, Olathe sophomore
"I agree with it. With as much spending that they're doing or the amount of trouble they're in with the student budget regarding education, I think it's ridiculous that people can get in so much trouble and have their financial aid revoked for a marijuana violation. Some people disagree because they think they're letting people get away with everything. The cops show up at a party and make the underage drinkers dump out their cups, but arrest the people with marijuana and don't punish the people drinking."

Evacuation affects students
-Ashton Martin, El Dorado junior
Images of Israelis wailing and protesting the evacuation of people from the Gaza Strip hit close to home for Zohar Ravid, Overland Park junior, who was born and raised on a kibbutz in Israel. Former classmates of his are in the Israeli army overseeing the pullout.
"One friend had to tell an older woman to move and she asked him to sit down and explain to her why he was doing this." Zohar said. "My friend said 'I have no choice, we have to do this.'"
On Aug. 15, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the Israeli army to have all Jewish settlers leave their homes in the Gaza Strip and relocate peacefully within 48 hours. Sharon ordered the evacuation as a territorial compromise to Palestine.
For all Israelis abroad, the latest developments in Gaza continue to evoke strong feelings.
Ravid, who visits Israel every summer, was there a week before the evacuations began. He said the atmosphere throughout the country was intense. Popular opinion was almost evenly divided. Those who supported the pullout wore blue and those who were against it wore orange.
He said he agreed with the argument that because of security risks, it wasn't worth it for Jewish settlers to remain in Gaza.
"Blue and orange were every where. The colors were on cars, buildings and clothing."avid said. "The pull out was the only people could talk about."
similar value and a job offer in the places that they move." David said.
But Ravid said he supported the pullout because his friends in the Israeli army were trained to be peaceful and could not carry weapons during the process. The Israeli government worked to ensure that the settlers who were displaced did not encounter any financial losses.
"The ball is now in Palestine's court." David said.
But Kahil Saad, Wichita senior and a Lebanese-American, said it was "ridiculous" to assume the Palestinian authority could take control immediately.
Saad said the evacuation was not about bringing stability to Gaza.
"Demographics are its biggest threat," Saad said.
"People were offered a house of
Saad is referring to comments Sharon made in a televised speech last week.
Sharon said that Israel could not hold on to Gaza because more than a million Palestinians live there and that the number doubles with each generation.
"The Israel government is actually setting up conditions contrary to that of a stable government," Saad said. "Sharon wants to wash his hands from the responsibilities of the Gaza Strip but he is still required to protect basic human rights."

But the withdrawal seems to be the first step in a long process for Palestinian stability in Gaza.
The Gaza Strip borders the Mediterranean Sea, near Egypt and Israel. The total area is 360 square kilometers.
According to the CIA World Fact Book, the Gaza Strip has a population of 1,376,289, in an area that is little more than twice the size of Washington, D.C. Few natural resources add to the nation's woes.
Saad said the evacuation actually defied provisions set forth by the Geneva Conventions by controlling economic development while neglecting to provide for the citizens' welfare.
"Iisrael maintains control of water, sewage, telecommunications and electricity in Gaza," Saad said. "But they also reserve the right to reinvade and continue
to limit any sort of movement."
In these conditions, factions such as Hamas rise to power. Hamas is a militant Islamist Palestinian organization that opposes the existence of Israel and favors the creation of an Islamic state in Palestine.
"A relative poverty and lack of opportunity for Palestinians in Gaza are one source of what seems to be the source of extremism and exclusivism in
Gaza," said Jonathan Boyarin, lewish studies professor.
But Boyarin also stressed Palestinians "nopm't just a fanatic tribe").
Boyarin urged understanding on all sides.
"Whatever the politics are, it seems a human imperative that the residents of Gaza be integrated into the region's economy," Boyarin said.

Winter break class offered to Caribbean
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Living in a landlocked state won't matter this winter for several students who want to study marine biology.
James Thorp, a University of Kansas professor in the department of Kansas Applied Remote Sensing, will accompany students to the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean Sea over winter break. The students will earn three credit hours in marine biology.
"I was a student at KU interested in marine biology, and there were no opportunities like this at that time," Thorp
said. "When I joined the faculty, I wanted to give students a chance to do fieldwork."
According to the course announcement, students going on the trip will enroll in Biology 420 or Biology 701. The trip will include lectures, tests, field trips and research projects and will be from Jan. 4 to Jan. 18, 2006. The deadline to turn in applications is Oct. 1.
Bonaire is a tropical island off the coast of Venezuela in the Netherlands Antilles and has rich coral reef communities. The lectures will cover topics such as basic marine biology and ecology; biology; and identification of marine invertebrates, fish, mammals and turtles. The field trips will allow student-
to explore the marine, terrestrial and inland aquatic habitats.
Katie Roach, Redwood Falls, Minn., graduate student said she wanted to take the class in Bonaire so she would be able to teach it later. Besides Roach, four to five students have expressed interest to Thorp.
Thorp said because of transportation restrictions and his limited ability to watch over students underwater, he will allow no more than 11 students on the trip.
He said he would give priority to students who complete scuba diving training by January but that it would not be an absolute requirement. He will require students to be able to
swim reasonably well.
This is not the first time Thorp has arranged a trip like this. Thorp said he has led marine biology trips to the Caribbean from two other universities and has led two trips from the University. The last trip was to the island of Roatan, off the coast of Honduras, in January 2005.
Thorp moved this trip farther south for better weather conditions. He said Bonaire is better protected from storms and that winds at diving areas are consistent in their direction, which makes for easier diving. Thorp also said Bonaire is a desert island, where the rainfall is less and divers therefore receive
STUDY ABROAD IN BONAIRI
- Students will receive three credit hours in either BIOL 420 or BIOL 701.
- There is an 11 student maximum.
Preference will be given to students who scuba dive, but snorkelers will be considered.
Grades will be based on one or more tests, a field notebook and a group research project conducted in marine habitats.
12 boat dives and unlimited shore dives will take place to investigate the fringing coral reef.
- No prerequisites are required.
Application deadline is Oct.1.

more sun exposure.
Being in the sun while scuba diving is important for regulating core body temperature, Thorp said, because diving can cause body temperature to drop. He said Bonaire is one of the finest
diving sites in the Caribbean.
Students can find out more about the trip by contacting Thorp at 864-1532 or the Office of Study Abroad at 864-3742.

CAMPUS KU alumnus gives money for research
When Frank Bowman Tyler died in 2003, he donated $1.8 million for cancer research at the University of Kansas and the University of Kansas Medical Center.
"We don't know why he left it," said Jen Humphrey, development editor of the Kansas University Endowment Association. "He left it for us as a gift through his estate plan."
According to a press release from the Endowment Association, the money donated by the 1947 KU graduate will fund three new positions at the University: a deputy director for clinical cancer care, a director of therapeutic cancer treatment development and an assistant director to coordinate the University's basic science cancer research programs.
The new positions will help the University's cancer programs receive cancer center status from the National Cancer Institute, which will provide more federal funding. Humphrey said the extra funding would help with greater access to federal clinical trials and federal research dollars.

Recent changes made by the American Bar Association have increased the amount of instructional hours required for law students to graduate. Meanwhile, some critics are calling for the abolishment of the third year of law school.

But students at the University of Kansas say their final year of law school is essential for finding jobs and gaining work experience.
Kate Allen, 2002 graduate and a KU alumna, said she worked the hardest during her third year of law school. She worked at a firm in Overland Park, took diverse areas to focus on different areas of law and tried to raise her grade point average.
She said her final year of school was challenging as she was learning the ropes of real-world trial work — something students can't learn in class.
"Learning the ABC's doesn't teach you how to speak," Allen said.
A paper published in 2002 by two California law professors concluded that many students viewed the last year of law school as irrelevant. The study used surveys of 1,000 law students.
clients.
The study recommended turning law school into a two-year academic program with an additional year of specialized training.
But law school administrators at the University say they don't plan on changing the school's program to two years of class work any time soon.
Iodd Rogers, career services director for the school, said the third year was both traditional and effective.
"Students wouldn't have the depth of experience not having
He said that spreading classes over three years of course work gave them the opportunity to get work experience in the summer. These working experiences are as important to potential employers as class work, Rogers said.
The surveys also found that third-year law students study less and are less prepared. Sixty-seven percent of third-year students said they studied 20 hours or less a week, compared with 11 percent of first-year students. The surveys also found that third-year students came to class with a lower proportion of assigned readings completed.
Third-year students know how to study more efficiently than first-year students, said Michael DPiPasquale, third-year law student from San Diego, Calif.
DiPasquale said he was focusing more on social activities than he had in the past. He's going out to bars more often and spending time playing intramural sports.

New Orleans evacuate city
BY ADAM NOSSITER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — With thousands feared drowned in what could be America's deadliest natural disaster in a century, New Orleans' leaders all but surrendered the streets to floodwaters Wednesday and began turning out the lights on the ruined city — perhaps for months.
Looting spiraled so out of control that Mayor Ray Nagin ordered virtually the entire police force to abandon search-and-rescue efforts and focus on the brazen packs of thieves who
have turned increasingly hostile.
Nagin called for an all-out evacuation of the city's remaining residents. Asked how many people died, he said: "Minimum, hundreds. Most likely, thousands."
With most of the city under water, Army engineers struggled to plug New Orleans' breached levees with giant sandbags and concrete barriers, and authorities drew up plans to clear out the tens of thousands of remaining people and practically abandon the below-sea-level city. Most of the evacuees — including thousands now suffering in the hot and muggy Superdome — will be moved to the Astrodome in Houston, 350 miles away.
There will be a "total evacuation of the city. We have to. The city will not be functional for two or three months," Nagin said.
POST CHURCH
If the mayor's death-toll estimate holds true, it would make Katrina the worst natural disaster in the United States since at least the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, which have been blamed for anywhere from about 500 to 6,000 deaths.
M. Spencer Green/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The First Baptist Church, in Gulfport, Miss., still stands, but in ruins after it was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Cleanup work continues.

Before the storm hit, more than 400 Tulane students were evacuated to Jackson State University in Jackson, Miss., where they are being sheltered and fed temporarily. Others were evacuated to Dallas and Atlanta. Tulane reports an enrollment of 13,000.
Tulane's Web site has posted emergency messages to keep students updated. One message contains the following condition report, which was posted Tuesday night:
"As expected, our facilities have been damaged; however, based on our preliminary assessments, the majority of the damage can be remediated in a reasonable period of time. The uptown campus is covered with debris from fallen trees and shrubs, making it almost impossible to drive or even walk on campus. We have no power in any of the buildings other than a few where we control the power source."
Tulane has not announced when or if this semester's classes will begin.
Provost David Shulenburger said the University would send

a message to faculty members advising them to allow transfers from hurricane-battered colleges to make up missed work.
"We've got everyone alerted to work with students as they appear," he said.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success, said the University would waive the late enrollment fee for these students.
"If we can make that happen for students and help them get a good semester under their belts, then, obviously, that's a lot better than not going to college at all," she said.

"The goal is within two years from now, we would really like to move in, coming that fall," said Chad Sinclair, associate director of expansion for Alpha Tau Omega.
Alpha Tau Omega has just started its first week of a five-week recruitment process.
The group will hold informational meetings and provide information for interested students.
The fraternity's goal is to attract 20 to 30 members to start a colony group, which would allow the members to

"We'll stay as long as it takes, until we get the 20 guws." Sinclair said.
Once the colony group is established, Alpha Tau Omega
ga would aim to become a chapter beginning next fall with at least 40 new members.
The group would then build up recruitment until it has about 75 members, which would be enough to fill the house.
Meanwhile, Pi Kappa Phi is furthering its presence in the greek community to gain support.
Zimmerman said the recruitment process Alpha Tau Omega is undertaking has only served to motivate his fraternity.
"Their trying to recruit gives us a bigger push to make more of an impact on
campus," he said. "Each year is kind of like you're making yourself known on campus."
The threat to Pi Kappa Phi's current housing has elicited mixed reactions from around the greek community.
"I'm a little concerned for Pi Kappa Phi because they are an outstanding chapter for us," said Scott Shorten, president of the Interfraternity Council.
" (Alpha Tau Omega) is absolutely welcomed back on campus. The more we can get greek life here the better."

Contraceptive's convenience creates clash
America's reluctance to green light pill indicates distrust
Doug Lang/KANSAN
The nefarious Plan C.
The condom broke? Forgot your pill? What if a woman was sexually assaulted? What would her options be? Fifty-eight hospitals in Kansas don't fill the morning after pill prescription, even in cases of sexual assault. Five out of seven Catholic hospitals will not write prescriptions for emergency contraception (E.C.) Wal-Mart will not fill E.C. because of corporate policies. Douglas County Health Clinic and Planned Parenthood both fill the prescription, but are not open on the weekends.
Here at the University, an office fee is applied to appointments at Watkins after 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and all day Sunday during the school year. Lawrence Memorial Hospital, our only hospital, offers the morning after pill to sexual assault survivors with the exception of a few doctors. These doctors refuse to prescribe it because of "moral issues" or conscious clauses. In all cases, the doctor/pharmacist is judging the integrity of the woman. It is her rights and integrity against the morals of the doctor/pharmacists.
WELL I'M APPEAL,
YOU WANTED YOU

PLAN B OR "MORNING
AFTER PILL" TO

PLAN C
THUD
People are presuming that women are irresponsible, and assuming that over-the-counter emergency contraception will open the door for sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) to increase is a myth. Over-the-counter E.C. does not devalue our youth's morals, it does not warrant us to have unhealthy sexual intercourse. These presumptions might be made because some do not understand how emergency contraception works.
Anytime you have sex, not just when you are unprotected, you run the risk of getting an STD. Contraceptives are designed primarily to inhibit conception, not STDs. Even male condoms are not 100 percent effective in preventing STDs. Are these contraceptives any different than the morning after pill? No. The morning after pill is a high dosage of birth control. Let's be real, distrust of the morning after pill is indicative of a distrust of women and a belief that they are inherently irresponsible. By denying women the right to choose, or by denying the information to decide what to do with their own bodies, society is robbing women of basic human rights.
If your concern is that the younger generation will not understand this concept, then the fault lies with a lack of proper sexual education. A proper education plan must encompass how contraception and preventative sexual health practices can reduce the risk of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and pregnancy.
If one were against abortion, why would one be against emergency contraception? According to information collected by Sylvie Rueff and the Kansas Choice Alliance, the rate of abortion has dropped in the last two years because of comprehensive, effective contraception and sexual education campaigns. Knowledge and access to over-the-counter contraception would decrease the abortion rate by one third. The availability and use of contraception will not increase the likelihood of a person having intercourse. It only decreases the chances that they would inevitably get pregnant.
Women are not being trusted with decisions that pertain to their own bodies. There is no reason why emergency contraception should not become an over-the-counter treatment.

These days it seems all human contact is being replaced by technology. You can even listen to church in podcasts.
In an August article in the New York Times, it was recorded that "since the beginning of July, the number of people or groups offering spiritual and religious podcasts listed on PodcastAlley com has grown from 177 to 474." Are people really that busy now that they can't go to church?
One of my favorite "Family Guy" episodes is the one where Peter Griffin gets his own theme music for his everyday actions. "Wouldn't it be cool," I thought, "to have a sound track to your everyday life?"
While escaping everyday reality can be a nice break sometimes, slipping on headphones for the long trek from Wescoe to Strong seems a bit ridiculous.

Current availability most realistically responsible
Sometimes accidents happen. Women get pregnant quite frequently without trying. This is why there are many different types of birth control options on the market, both over-the-counter and prescription.
The Food and Drug Administration is trying to approve the emergency contraceptive Plan B as an over-the-counter option for women over the age of 17, instead of prescription-only, as it is now. The drug would still remain prescription-only for those under 17.
Plan B, also known as the "morning after pill," should be taken up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex. According to the drug's Web site, "If it is taken within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex, it will decrease the chance that you will get pregnant by 89 percent. That means seven out of every eight women who would have gotten pregnant will not get pregnant."
To have this drug sold as an over-the-counter option seems like a dream for some women. What could be better than not going to the gynecologist to receive prevention, other than condoms, from pregnancy? Sounds great, right? Wrong. The negatives of this drug outweigh the positives.
The problem lies in the fact that Plan B would be sold alongside pain relievers and cough drops. Does it really make sense that young women, who can't even purchase cigarettes or lottery tickets, would be able to buy a drug that allows them to have unprotected sex whenever they want?
Another reason that Plan B should remain a prescription-only drug is that the FDA is trying to make it legal for 17-year-old women to buy the drug. The editorial board certainly advocates the use of birth control for women of all ages, but it feels that the over-counter use of any contraceptive should not be an option for these young women.
This counteracts everything that women are taught in sexual education classes, which attempt to inject a sense of responsibility through their curriculum.
Sexually transmitted diseases could cause other problems. If women and men both know that there is a drug readily available that can prevent pregnancy without the use of condoms, sex without the use of condoms may rise. This in turn could cause the number of STDs to also rise.
These are only a few of the problems that could occur if the FDA were to eventually approve Plan B to be sold over-the-counter. If the nation wants to erase the problem of teen pregnancy, decrease the number of STD cases and also promote safe sex, then it should spend more time and effort educating young women to have protected sex rather than promoting a drug that will provoke unsafe sex.

Minnesota Twins' Brent Abernathy slides back into third but is tagged out by Kansas City Royals' third baseman Mark Teahen in the ninth inning yesterday. Abernathy was caught off base as he tried to advance to home on a wild pitch by Mike MacDougal and then was thrown out by catcher Paul Phillips.

Royals hold Twins scoreless
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Emil Brown singled home Denny Hocking with one out in the ninth to lead Kansas City to a 1-0 victory yesterday over the Minnesota Twins, who set a team record by getting 13 hits in a shutout.
The Twins bounced into four double plays and had runners thrown out at third and home. It was also a Royals' record for most hits allowed in a shutout, breaking the mark of 10 which had been done four times.
The Twins' previous record for hits in a shutout was 12 in a 1-0 loss to the California Angels in 1975.
Hocking singled off Matt Guerrier (0-3) leading off the ninth, and reached second when third baseman Terry Tiffee misplayed a grounder by Chip Ambres. Terry Mulholland relieved and struck
out Matt Stairs, before Brown grounded a single just inside the bag at third.
Mike MacDougal (3-4)
pitched the ninth for the win.
The Twins had runners at second and third with one out in the ninth but pinch runner Brent Abernathy was thrown out at third after MacDougal's pitch to Michael Ryan sailed to the backstop. Abernathy started to come home, then changed his mind and tried to get back to third but catcher Paul Phillips' throw beat him.
Ryan then took a called third strike. It was the second straight game every Twins starter hit safely.
ouis
Kyle Loheg gave up only three hits and one walk in seven innings and had a perfect game until Terrence Long's two-out single in the fourth. The veteran right-hander did not allow another baserunner until Paul Phillips doubled into right-center leading off
the sixth.
Royals starter Mike Wood gave up eight hits and two walks in six innings but kept the Twins scoreless with the help of double plays in the first, second and fourth. He was relieved starting the seventh by Andrew Sisco.
The Royals turned an unusual double play to keep the Twins from scoring in the fourth. With runners at first and second and one out, Tiftee grounded to first baseman Joe McEwing. He threw to second for the force out there, but the throw back to first to get Tiftee was late.
Jacque Jones, who had singled leading off the inning, tried to score from second but was cut thrown out at home by Wood, who had covered first.
The Twins also had two runners on base with one out in the first and second innings but Jones and Mike Redmond each rolled into double plays.
Jones also bounced into a double play in the eighth.
Notes: 1B Mike Sweeney missed his third straight game with pain in his lower back. Manager Buddy Bell said it was not believed as serious as the upper back pain, which had sidelined Sweeney for long periods before. ... Twins 2B Nick Punto made an outstanding play in the first, dividing to his right to stop Long's hard-hit grounder and then throwing him out from his knees. ... Ryan's single in the seventh stretched his hitting streak to a career-high seven games. ... A moment before he broke up Lohse's no-hitter with two out in the fourth. Long fouled a ball off his right leg and lay on the ground in pain. He finally got up and then rifled a single into right, but was replaced at the top of the fifth in left field by Ambres. The Royals said Long had a bruise on his lower right leg.

Beyond that, question marks abound. It's highly unlikely they'll be able to hold their home opener Sept. 18 at the Superdome — and they may not be able to play there at all this season after the stadium was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
And all of those sites could host other home games for the Saints, who escaped the hurricane by flying with their families last weekend to San Jose, Calif. New Orleans plays at Oakland on Thursday night in its final exhibition game.
While the Saints and NFL officials have been discussing a variety of alternatives, they haven't talked yet with many of the people at the proposed sites.
So that first game against the New York Giants could be at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Or at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. Or even at Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala.
Following the Raiders game, the Saints will go to San Antonio, where they will stay at the same hotel they stayed at last season when Hurricane Ivan chased them out of New Orleans in the second week of the regular season.
"We can say is LSU an option, yeah, but is it an option with them?" Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said Wednesday by phone from San Jose. "That's the next hurdle. We haven't crossed that hurdle yet."
Only one hurdle has been crossed.
The Saints will also use the same practice facilities at
Trinity University, so they will have, as Benson put it, "a certain comfort level with where we are."
That would seem to make the Alamodome, which holds 65,000 for football, a logical alternative, although it's about 550 miles from New Orleans, farther than the NFL would like.
But at this point, no one really knows the options.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and league officials have discussed the situation over the past few days. Location hasn't been the most important topic.
"We've been talking about how we as a league can assist with relief efforts," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. "Not only for Saints players and officials and their families, but also for a lot of other players in the league who live or have families in the region."
The Saints aren't the only ones in sports affected by the damage done to the 65,000-seat Superdome.
Bowl Championship Series spokesman Bob Burda said Sugar Bowl officials hoped to meet within the next few weeks to talk about what to do with the game scheduled for Jan. 2 in the Superdome.
It's unlikely officials would want to let the Sugar Bowl leave Louisiana, even for just a year. Independence Stadium, home of the Independence Bowl, in Shreveport has been renovated in recent years and holds about 53,000. Tiger Stadium could also be a plausible option, with a capacity of almost 92,000.
"It's just too early on their end to even speculate," said Burda, adding that bowl officials had been in contact with BCS coordinator Kevin Weiberg.
None of the options for the Saints seem ideal.

Player debuts with a grand slam
BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — Florida's Jeremy Hermida became the second player to hit a grand slam in his first major-league at-bat and the first to do it as a pinch-hitter, connecting in the seventh inning off the St. Louis Cardinals' Al Reyes in the Marlins' 10-5 loss last night.
Alan Diaz/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The only other player with a grand slam in first major league at-bat was pitcher William "Frosty Bill" Duggleby, who did it for Philadelphia at home against the New York Giants in the second inning on April 21, 1898, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
St Louis Cardinals' Hector Luna rounds third base after hitting a two-run home run off Florida Marlins Jason Vargas in the fifth inning yesterday in Miami. Scott Seabol scored on the home. The Cardinals won 10-5.
Only a few thousand people in the announced crowd of 20,656 remained to see Hermida's hit. The Marlins' top pick in the 2002 amateur draft and the 11th pick overall, he remained in the game as Florida's left fielder to start the eighth inning.
Sports Bureau Hermida, an outfielder whose contract was purchased from Double-A Carolina earlier in the day, batted for pitcher Brian Moehler with Florida trailing 10-0 and connected on the third pitch he saw in the big leagues.
ning.
Yet most of the night's other offensive fireworks came from the Cardinals. Albert Pujols had a season-high three extra-ball scores, scored twice and reached the 100-RBI mark for the fifth consecutive season, and Hector Luna also had three extra-base hits.
Friday where 25 of its final 29 games will be against NL East foes; the remaining four games are at Houston, another wildcard hopeful, from Sept. 12-15.
The loss put the Marlins (70-63) one game behind Philadelphia — a 8-2 winner in New York over the Mets — in the wild-card race. Florida starts a stretch on
David Eckstein stayed hot with three hits, including his seventh home run. Luna and Eckstein each finished with three RBIs. Jeff Suppan (13-10) threw five scoreless innings, leaving after a 35-minute rain delay in the bottom of the fifth.

Luna, who managed only five extrabase hits in his first 41 games of the season, also scored three times for the NL Central leaders, who took two of three in the series.

Juan Pierre had two hits for Florida, which hadn't had a player other than Miguel Cabrera or Carlos Delgado home runs since Aug. 5.
runs since Aug. 3.
Pujols doubled off left fielder Cabrera's glove and scored in the third, then drove in his 100th run of the year on a triple — his second of the season and only the 11th in his career — in the Cardinals' four-run fifth against Jason Vargas (5-2). Pujols doubled again in the sixth.
Pujols doubled again in his 91 pitches for strikes to avoid what would have been a season-long three-game losing streak. Then again, the Cardinals simply haven't endured any long slides this season. They're now 41-8 after a loss.
a loss.
Yadier Molina drove in two runs and So Taguchi had two hits for St. Louis, which dealt Vargas the toughest outing of his brief major-league career. He lasted five innings, gave up career-highs in runs (seven) and hits (10), and saw his ERA rise from 3.16 to 4.15.
Quinn, who has started every game as goalkeeper this year, also reflected on her role.
"She didn't get tested too much today, but for the whole team it's good to get a shutout," Francis said.

"It's kind of day-to-day," Quinn said of her status as keeper. "It helps when your teammates are supporting you."
"The important thing is that we got the W," Francis said.

"Every player adjusts differently and every young man has to deal with it in different ways and the stages of what they are going through," he said. "The big thing is we have to support one another, and through time we will work through this."
Pinkel said he knew the team had to focus on the upcoming season and dedicated it to O'Neal. Pinkel said the seniors were supportive and provided leadership for the younger players.

Regulations relaxed
op the man Mo. Time an state nameouri Nov.
BY MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA is considering temporarily changing some of its rules that place restrictions on travel costs and benefits being given to athletes' families as players and universities recover from the destruction left by Hurricane Katrina.
"Any rule that can negatively impact an institution or the student-athletes, I think we'll be proactive in," Steve Mallonee, the NCAA's managing director for membership services, told The Associated Press yesterday. "The message we'd like is that we have a process that can and will be flexible to any of our institutions that are impacted."
Other potential changes include allowing athletes to compete even if they're not enrolled in school — because there is the possibility that some schools may not be able to immediately hold classes — and allowing teams to where games are played, Mallonee said.
Mallonea acknowledged that the effect of rules changes could be far-reaching and not necessarily limited to the hardest hit areas along the Gulf Coast.
For instance, Mallonee said, if Southern California had a basketball player who lived in New Orleans, the NCAA might ease travel restrictions to help the athlete return to Los Angeles for classes without worrying about violating NCAA rules.
several conferences, including the Big 12, Conference USA, Southeastern and Sun Belt, to discuss potential scheduling problems. But because of communication problems along the Gulf Coast, Mallonee said he had not yet spoken with officials from schools such as LSU, Tulane and New Orleans that face the biggest recovery challenges.
Mallonee said he had already been contacted by officials from
Mallonee said in his 20 years with the NCAA, he had never seen a weather-related catastrophe of this magnitude and that the NCAA wanted to help aid the recovery effort.
"We need to make sure we have our priorities right," he said. "We're the NCAA and we deal with it from an athletic perspective. But this is much bigger than that. It puts things in a unique perspective."

The Kansas tennis team proved last semester that managing athletics and academics is possible.
possible. The team had a cumulative grade point average of 3.49, which was higher than any other sports team at the University.
In a statement released by the Athletics Department during the summer, the department said that the 3.49 GPA was an all-time record. The athletics program as a whole averaged a 2.92 GPA last semester.
Often cramped for time, the
team found itself studying on the road and during the evenings after practices. Sophmore Stephanie Smith said she was pleased the team was able to accomplish such a feat during the tennis season.
during the tenure "I'm amazed," Smith said. "Everyone worked hard, and the fact that it was during the spring semester when we travel a lot more is even more impressive."
Smith, a journalism major, received several accolades for her 4.0 GPA last semester. Among the awards were the Athletic Director's Honor Roll and the Big 12 Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll.
Junior tennis player Ashley Filberth also earned a 4.0 last semester. She was named first team All-Academic Big 12.
The Kansas City, Mo., native said balancing academics and athletics was not easy, but it was
possible with determination.
"It's a lot harder in the spring because we miss so much class," Filberth said. "We're gone almost every weekend, so we miss lots of Friday classes and some Monday ones."
"In the fall it's easier to study since we travel less," Smith said. "I feel I do better when I have a lot of things to do. With tennis and school, I'll stay focused."
The team remained optimistic for this semester.
Filberth also said the fall semester is less time-consuming, allowing for more time to study. She said she had faith that her teammates could maintain last semester's high standards. "I think all the girls are smart and capable," Filberth said. "We know how to work hard."
The team will have more free time to study until September 7

NEW YORK — Wispy Maria Sharapova was one strong gust away from getting knocked over, though not out, at the U.S. Open

nearer. Nearly as thin as her racket, the top-seeded Sharapova had more trouble with gales up to 36 mph playing tricks with the balls than she did with any of the shots by Dally Randiantely in a 6-1, 6-0 rout yesterday that took all of 49 minutes.
"The first few games I was serving 69 miles per hour," Sharapov said. "It's pretty funny. I think it's even funnier from TV because they
can't see the wind. These people probably think we look like beginners. That's the sad part."

Paper and plastic scudded across the courts, umpires' microphones rumbled with the sound of the wind, and the jets that are often diverted away from the National Tennis Center roared constantly overhead to and from nearby LaGuardia Airport. Lobs looked as if they were perfect sometimes sailed long, sometimes flew back toward the net. It was a day for double-faults, a day for muttered curses.

Technique and team-building are two focal points for the Kansas swimming team. Although the season doesn't kick off until Oct. 8, Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell is guiding the team through a five-week skills and drills clinic.
The five week period is a time for the team to become efficient in their strokes and starts and to do weight training and stretching.

With 10 new swimmers and divers on this year's squad, Campbell said he was already impressed with his young team's maturity, spirit and willingness to learn. He partially credits senior leadership for the energized atmosphere.

Sept. 26 ends the five-week foundation-building and begins the training phase of the swimming season. The Jayhawks will open the season with Minnesota on Saturday, Oct. 8th at Robinson Natatorium.

Chiefs quarterback undergoes procedure
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Trent Green underwent an outpatient procedure to improve circulation in his leg but will be ready for the season opener on Sept. 11, Kansas City coach Dick Vermeil said Wednesday.
Green, who's been having numbness in the lower left leg and foot, will not play Friday night when the Chiefs meet St. Louis in their final preseason game.
"He had a little problem. It was a minor problem and it's taken care of."
Vermeil said Green, who played only two series last weekend against Seattle, did not have a blood clot.
Vermeil said it was not major surgery and that Green would be at the stadium on Thursday for team meetings and return to practice on Monday.
"There's a procedure that they go through to do those things, but it's not like having a heart transplant," Vermilil said.
"You'll talk to Trent tomorrow and he'll tell you what they did. He watched them do it."
Green has never missed a start since the Chiefs gave St. Louis their first-round draft pick for him in 2001, and for the past three years has led one of the NFL's top-scoring offenses.
His endurance has been something of a surprise in light of his four knee operations after an injury in the
1999 preseason.
He had undergone a battery of tests for several days to find the cause of the numbness.
"I can't tell you the exact time that they found it, but as soon as they found it they quit looking for something else and went to work," Vermeil said.
"It was a circulation problem and I think it stemmed around four knee operations and things passing through scar tissue and they had to clean it up. But it was just like going to the dentist," he said.
Green's backup, Todd Collins, is out with a hand injury and No. 3 quarterback Damon Huard has a slight concussion.
Jonathan Quinn will have the start on Friday against the Rams for the winless Chiefs.
Quinn, a journeyman who was with the Chiefs for two years and played last season for Chicago, was out of football when the Chiefs gave him an emergency call two weeks ago.
Vermeil also said linebacker Kendrell Bell, a former NFL defensive rookie of the year who was acquired in the offseason, would make his first appearance against the Rams.
"I think he's getting excited about playing his first game. I know he's practiced real well," Vermell said. "He's working up to it. He may not play very much but he'll play."
Volleyball travels to Utah
VOLLEYBALL

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas volleyball team embarks on its first road trip of the season tonight as it takes on Utah Valley State in the first match of the UVSC/Brigham Young Challenge.
Utah Valley State is in its third season of Division I volleyball. The team had its best season last year, going 11-16. The Wolverines return seven players from that squad, including a second team all-independent selection in junior setter Lacee Koelliker.
Kansas is 2-0 going into the match up with UVSC. Victories over Alabama and Missouri-Kansas City last weekend have the team confident that it will be ready to play in Utah.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team might be at a slight disadvantage. The Jayhawks will be playing in Orem, Utah, on the Wolverines' home court and they don't know much about their style of play.
KANSAS 19
"It's their first match, so they've probably seen us on tape, and we don't have that opportunity," Bechard said. "Early on we'll probably have to make a change on the run. We're not sure what to expect."
Kansas will take on Montana State on Saturday afternoon in Provo, Utah. Montana State is 2-1, with its only loss coming to second-ranked Washington, the team that eliminated the Jayhawks from the NCAA tournament last year. MSU is led by senior middle blocker Megan Zanto, who garnered first-team All-Big Sky Conference honors last season.
The marquee match up of the tournament, however, will come tomorrow night when Kansas takes on BYU. The Cougars are looking to return to the NCAA tournament after missing out on the postseason last year. BYU is picked to win the Mountain West Conference, in which they finished third in 2004.

The Cougars return three all-conference performers among 10 letter winners. First-year coach Jason Watson will rely on their experience to push the team to the postseason.
Tomorrow night's match will be emotionally charged. BYU will name the floor at Smith Fieldhouse after legendary coach Elaine Michaelis, who compiled a record of 886-225-5 while coaching the Cougars from 1961 through 2002.
Bechard said the scene will make the Jayhawk's task difficult.
"We'll have to sort through all of the emotion and do the things necessary for us to be
successful," Bechard said. "We can't get in a situation where we allow that emotion to creep in and impact points or even game outcomes."
Junior outside hitter Jana Correa said the Jayhawks would have a tough time with the Cougars, ceremony not withstanding.
"The main focus is passing and defense," Correa said. "When we play BYU, they're going to hit pretty hard and we
need to be prepared for that."
Bechard said the match could have a big impact on both teams' seasons.
"It might be a point where you look later in the year where both teams may or may not be considered for NCAA tournament play." Bechard said. "In that sense it may be pretty important. It will be a great test for us."

After falling short in its first two matches, Kansas soccer finally gets a win
BY ALISNA BAUER

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The pressure of sealing a first victory broke last night, as Kansas shut out Missouri State 2-0 at the Ivahawk Soccer Complex.
In a game that Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said was not played worth a dime, his girls took the lead in the 15th minute and never looked back.
"I think the biggest thing today is that we won the game," Francis said. "It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was pretty ugly at times."
Taking advantage of Missouri State freshman goalkeeper Jackie Jasper, Kansas freshman forward Jessica Bush picked up a fumbled ball and sent it to the back of the net. The 15-yard, unassisted goal was the first of the game and of Bush's collegiate career.
"It was really exciting. Michelle played a really good ball to me," Bush said in reference to junior midfielder Michelle Rasmussen. "The goalie made a mistake. It was good for our team because we really haven't been finishing as well."
That goal was one of six first half shots on goal, five of which belonged to Kansas. The Jayhawks went on to triple the Bears' shots 18-6 and quadrupled their shots on goal for the game 12-3.
Although Missouri State, tailing only one shot on goal in the first half, did not seem to be putting up much of a fight, Francis was upset that his team was playing without emotion and
"I think the biggest thing today is that we won the game. It wasn't pretty. In fact, it was pretty ugly at times."

looking flat. So much so that he admitted to ripping into the girls at halftime to get them into the game.
There was power in his words,
evidently, and Kansas worked through it.
Francis mentioned that even senior forward Caroline Smith wasn't entirely on her game in the first half. She promptly got "on" her game in the second half and put the Jayhawks up 2-0 in the 84th minute of the game.
Smith's unassisted 20-yard shot meant she had scored in all three games this season.
Sophomore goalkeeper Colleen Quinn recorded her first shutout last night against the Bears, boosting confidence in herself, her coach and her teammates.

Athletes deserve positive coverage
Kansas athletics is taking a beating in the whole being nice area.
Insults directed at our most prominent sports figures pour in with each and every breaking news story.
Even at the Kansan sports desk, reports come out declaring "enough is enough."
There is validity to that complaint. Being constantly updated on every juvenile activity our athletes are up to does tend to get old, and not to mention, impossible.
Let's not forget that this is a college campus, and trying to find any student — athlete or not — that has kept a squeaky clean record would be a challenge.
But one of the many factors that makes life as a collegiate athlete ohso glamorous is those famous faces they quickly develop, followed by a level of class and reputation that is passed on for them to uphold.
I'm here to say they are upholding it.
Two weeks ago, I had finished up my interviews after the Drake game and headed for the exit at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. It was nearly impossible to get out because rows of tables were full of tired and sweaty soccer girls busily signing autographs for a line of fans.
I felt slightly disgusted with myself for letting the words "hot," "tired" and "T" even mingle around in my head together. These girls just finished running a close equivalent to a 90-minute sprint. They barely knocked off Drake and now planned on signing autographs until each fan was happy.

Friendship improves play
Linebackers' closeness builds team chemistry
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Senior linebackers Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman share a bond that comes from more than football. Beyond sitting through the same meetings and running the same drills every day in practice, they manage to spend time together off the field.
They are three of the mosttalented linebackers in the Big 12 Conference. Between them they have more than 595 career tackles and intimidate offensive players each week. And through their play on the field, they have become great friends.
"We are all great friends, we hang out, we finish each other's sentences," Reid said. "We know what the other one is going to do."
Reid and Kane are roommates, so their time together is virtually endless. Reid said that Kane did some unusual things for a football player.
"He doesn't really wash his hair too much," Reid said. "He says his hair gets poofy. That's kind of weird — he doesn't like his hair poofy. Other than that, he's a pretty straight-forward, laid-back guy."
Whether it's going to movies
or going out, the three usually are together.
They think that their friendship has helped them become better football players.
"It makes it that much better to be out there playing with people that you are such good friends with," Floodman said. "It helps build chemistry not only on the defense but on the whole team, especially when you are the leaders."
Reid said that the friendship helped him know exactly what either Kane or Floodman were going to do on the field.
campaign, he could move up to second on the all-time Kansas tackle mark.
The three have put their mark on Kansas defense. Reid was named to the All-Big 12 first team after last season. Reid had more than 100 tackles in each of the previous two seasons, and with another 100-tackle
Floodman had 47 tackles last season and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection two seasons ago. Kane was also an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last season.
The three will walk together onto the field at Memorial Stadium Saturday for the beginning of their final season together. Floodman said it felt a little weird, knowing that he's near the end of his career.
"I am pumped up, just ready for the opener. I think it adds a little bit when you are a senior, your final opener. It's exciting," Floodman said.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Editor's Note: This is the last of 11 articles previewing Kansas' competition in the Big 12 Conference.
In 2002, the senior quarterback became only the second quarterback in Division 1-A history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and run for more than 1,000 yards
Two years ago, life was good for Missouri's Brad Smith.
Smith then finished the 2003 season and rushed for more than 1,000 yards, led his team to a bowl game for the first time in five years and was being talked about as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate for the 2004 season.
in the same season.
Then, in the 2004 season, nothing would go right for Smith or his team. Missouri was picked by several media outlets to win the Big 12 North and play in a major bowl game. Instead, the Tigers faltered to a 5-6 record and missed out on a bowl game.
This season, with a new offense installed, Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said he expected Smith to have a big season and lead the Tigers back to a bowl game.
"Brad, as he has matured, he wants to work on his throwing, work on his footwork, work on all kinds of things to make himself a better player, as he has done this year." Pinkel said. "We want him to be a complete player, and he has worked very hard, and I expect him to have a very good year."
Smith will have talent around him, as senior wide receiver Sean Coffey returns for another season. Coffey caught 39 passes for 648 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
Sophomore running backs Marcus Woods and Tony Temple will join Smith in the backfield.
Even though Pinkel has yet to name a starter, lie said he expected both players to have big 2005 seasons.

I've been waiting tables for the past six years. My first job was at Carrabbas Italian Grill; I'd come home every night singing Frank Sinatra. Then there was that job at Applebees, enough said there. Finally I landed a job serving tables in Overland Park at the Ritz Charles, a weddings and conference facility.
Like most servers I've seen my fair share of customers with colorful personalities; from the lady who fell asleep eating
her spaghetti to the man that demanded I fill his water glass after every sip.
So this is an official call-out to all Lawrence restaurants and regulars. We want to shine the spotlight on your favorite, deserving servers, bartenders and baristas. Send your nominations to jayplay2005@gmail.com and then look for them in the Bite and Venue sections of the magazine. Happy nominating!

Street musicians provide the fun, free soundtrack of our lives
By Dave Ruigh, Jayplay writer
On Massachusetts Street, the bustling patchwork of life and culture that defines downtown Lawrence, few things can be guaranteed or predicted. The cultural tectonics shift daily. But for decades, street musicians - their names and faces always changing - have been one of the most familiar and reliable aspects of the landscape.
Known traditionally as buskers, street musicians have historical roots stretching as far back as the 12th- and 13th-century French troubadours and trouveres, the traveling poet-musicians of the day, says Doug Harvey, a performing musician and adjunct professor of history at Johnson County Community College. Today's street musicians are generally found in college towns like Lawrence and large cities across the country.
Musical street performance, or busking, has traditionally been seen as a moneymaking enterprise, but the intentions of Lawrence street musicians are as varied as their instruments and style.
"Some folks are playing to get spare change, other people play because they like to play," says Brad Butler, a slight, dread-locked man noodling on a classical guitar during an unseasonably cool Sunday afternoon in a cozy alcove next to the Antique Mall, 830 Mass. St.
But because some street musicians here accept tips, their playing is sometimes perceived as invasive entertainment, if not outright begging. For most street musicians, however, the music is more meaningful than mendicant.
"I'm not trying to scrounge a dollar," says Chad Smith, strumming pop chords in the same alley a day later. "If you want to throw a dollar, that's great. I'm here to express myself."
That current of self-expression runs parallel to a sense of creative and physical freedom many of these musicians share. Butler, a recent Lawrence transplant from Colorado Springs, Colo., says he can play "under a tree, under a rock, anywhere I want — grab a coffee, pick a spot and sit for a bit"
Though the possibility of playing under a tree or rock exists in theory, most
street musicians in Lawrence prefer the four-block stretch of Mass. Street pavement between 7th and 10th Streets. Three of the most popular places to play are in the alley next to the Antique Mall; the wide expanse in front of U.S. Bank, 900 Mass. St.; and on the corner of 7th Street. These venues receive heavy pedestrian traffic and have moderately comfortable seating (insofar as concrete can be deemed comfortable). Ignored or avoided by some when playing these ad hoc venues, street musicians exist as a living soundtrack in the lives of others.
"it's for people who can't afford to go to the bar and buy the beer," says Tara O'Brien, JCCC sophomore, stopping and listening to Butler play. "It shows how much music is in this town and how much people love it."
Because street musicians have played on Mass. Street for so long, by default, they have helped shape the character of downtown Lawrence and distinguished it from the rest of the city. Larry Billings, owner of the Antique Mall, says that when street musicians play, they give downtown "a different kind of atmosphere — a carnival atmosphere."
Harvey says the nature of street musicians in America is cyclical, an ebb and flow of performers dictated by the social climate. And, Harvey adds, street musicians in Europe are more prevalent because Europeans are more accepting and appreciative of the performers and the lifestyle.
But this is far from the Golden Age of street musicians in Lawrence. Billings, who has owned the Antique Mall for 14 years, says street musicians don't appear outside his storefront as often as they once did. Musicians used to show up as many as three times a week. Now only one a week stops to play, generally on the weekend.
But as long as one musician picks up a guitar and perches somewhere on Mass. Street, the tradition here will continue.
"It's something people have always done," says Smith. "Someone will always be playing downtown."

Replay Lounge
801 New Hampshire St.
As one walks down Massachusetts Street, he or she might wonder what lurks behind the purple neon-lit sign of the Replay Lounge. The atmosphere of the Replay often contradicts its grungy allure.
"The Replay has a bit of the Cheers syndrome, if you're a regular, everyone knows your name," bartender, Joe Montgomery says.
The Replay Lounge plays host to some of the more obscure bands touring the country and is known to attract acts from all over the states. Cover is never more than $2 for any of the live shows.
One of the unique aspects of the Replay Lounge is its back patio, which before the smoking ban hit Lawrence, was the only outdoor patio of its size in downtown Lawrence. Another thing that makes the Replay Lounge unique, says Montgomery, is the lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms, which the Replay Lounge seems to be quite proud of. "The Replay has, without a doubt, the shittest bathrooms around," says Montgomery.
Fridays and Saturdays are your best bet. At the Replay Lounge, one can play free pinball on any of the six pinball machines from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., while sipping the Replay's patrons' drink of choice, Pabst Blue Ribbon cans (only $1.50 every day).

It is Henry's on Eighth's diverse atmosphere and Aaron Blair's meetings with many random people that keeps this Leavenworth senior working every Monday, Sunday and Tuesday night. Blair recalled one of the strangest men he has encountered during his two year tenure at Henry's. An Alaskan man named LK, who comes in about twice a month to drink and tell stories, told Aaron a story about shooting an arrow at a bear while hunting and then watching the bear swat the arrow away. If you like stories, Henry's patron's have plenty. So go there to listen to stories and Blair's choice of "mushroom jazz." And have a French Martini, Blair's favorite drink to make.

These eyes were made for wandering
Kit Leffler/Jayplay photographer
And that's just what they'll do By Meghan Miller, Jayplay writer
Models Dusty Mills, left, Mandi Sumner, WaKeeney senior, and Tom Kimmel, Lawrence sophomore, share a couch and eye contact.
It's Thursday night and Kristin Wesche, Raleigh, N.C., sophomore is getting ready to go out. All she has to do is take a shower, fix her hair, throw on a little makeup, and then it's off to her closet to rummage for the perfect outfit. After a little lip gloss, she's ready. She's not going out on a date though. Tonight she'll be out with her friends, so she won't have to worry about her suitor's wandering eyes. Wesche says she's fortunate to have not had a boyfriend that stared at other girls while they were out together. That type of behavior, she says, would really piss her off. Wesche says that if a guy is out with her, she should be the center of his attention. If he wants to stare at other girls, then he should be dating them instead.
Not all of us have been as lucky as Wesche. We know what it's like to experience the horrors of a mate with a wandering set of eyes. It can leave you feeling resentful, insecure and embarrassed. Even worse, it could be a sign that your partner might be cheating or contemplating the dirty deed.
But slow down. When your partner checks other people out, it doesn't necessarily signify the beginning of the end. And it doesn't have to mean that your partner is cheating either. So is it something that needs to be talked about, or can you just leave it alone? You've heard repeatedly how important communication is to any relationship. Now's the time to put that advice to work. Roving eyes should raise red flags because what starts out as innocent ogling could turn into something bigger if left unchecked. It's time for a heart-to-heart with your partner.
Practice, practice, practice
Understandably, you are concerned about those wandering eyes, so you question your boyfriend about it. He gives you some sweet line about how you're the one he's with and that the other girl is nothing but trash. Daylle Deanna Schwartz says in her book All Men Are Jerks*; *Until Proven Otherwise that cheating men have their responses rehearsed and ready. Schwartz also says that "these professional jerks are like fishermen" using bait, such as eye wandering, to test the waters so they can gauge their partners' reactions. Schwartz says the whole scenario has probably been rehearsed over and over in his mind, so he's prepared for just about any response you'll have.
Universal eye wandering
But it's not just men with eyes that roam. Women do it, too. And how does it feel when someone is ogling your mate? How do you think that dancing queen's boyfriend feels when every eye in the bar is scanning every inch of his girlfriend's bare skin? You know what I mean. You have that friend, or you are that friend, that will opt for a tighter shirt or a shorter skirt, knowing it's sure to grab ample attention when you go out. This is part of the friendly — and sometimes dangerous — sport of flirting.
Judy Kuriansky says in her book The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Healthy Relationship that both men and women are guilty of flirting. Even if the flirting seems harmless, it can still raise questions about faithfulness on down the line. Flirting, innocent or not, could be sending you a clue that your partner has issues within your relationship that
need addressing. Flirtatious behavior has the potential of severely damaging a relationship. Kuriansky says that, in some cases, a flirting mate can be just as hurtful as a cheating one. And if your partner catches you, be prepared. It could cause more pain than the flirting was worth.
Knowing your partner, knowing yourself
Remember that communication is key. Talk to your partner if you witness questionable behaviors. And if you're the one sneaking peeks or flirting with your best friend's boyfriend when she's not looking, question your own behavior.
People who put up with roaming eyes or a flirtatious mate sometimes let the behavior slide in the name of love. Victims of cheaters often stay with their lover for the same reason. It's time to stop the insanity. No longer can we allow ourselves to be walked all over in the name of love. We need to take note of these possible precursors to cheating so we can nip the problem in the bud.

Why is that my boyfriend always looks hottest when we are fighting?

- Melinda, Junior
is very normal, actually. When we're ticked off, our arousal levels sky rocket and in the presence of attractive visual stimuli, we end up wanting to jump our significant others. Logic tells us to be angry, but our animal instinct tells us to pounce. I say multi-task: blow off some steam AND let out that animal.
Jessica: Ahhhh! Don't you hate it when you're fuming because of something he did or didn't do, yet you're fixated on how freaking foxy he looks with his five o'clock shadow and shaggy hair? This
Brian: You may be surprised to learn this, but men are actually genetically engineered so that when our testosterone levels rise, we become more attractive. This would also explain why women will find men who are working out or are playing a sport more attractive than if he were just in his normal clothes. Another reason you might find us hotter is because we actually have the power to make ourselves hotter when we know we have done something wrong. It's just a huge self-defense mechanism. We know that you are madder than hell at us, but if we make ourselves hotter, then you won't be able to resist our good looks.
?
My boyfriend and I recently broke up,but we share most of the same friends so we see each other very often. It's uncomfortable seeing him so much. Should I try to find new friends?
- Katy, Sophomore
Jessica: For future reference, it's always wise to have separate groups of friends, along with some mutual ones so you can hang out with your shared friends together or your own friend separately. I recommend forging some new friendships to avoid the consistently awkward rendezvous with your ex. It's really just a matter of moving beyond the old relationship and the people associated with
it so that you can eventually establish a new network of friends.
Brian: This seems to be one of the biggest issues I've heard concerning friends dating, I see two different paths you can take. First, try and rekindle some of those old friendships you have let go astray. The other way you could go would be to keep the same friends
you currently have, but try and hang out with only your closest girls. Get together with three other friends and go to the movies. When you are trapped with hanging out with Mr. X, just keep your distance from him so that you don't have to worry about what he's doing. Stay on the other side of the room, talk in a different group or go for a food run with all of your chronically high buddies. Give the breakup a little time and maybe you and he can just have general conversation. If that doesn't seem possible, tell everyone a rumor about how much trash he talked on all of them behind their backs when you were dating. That should help get him out of your life involving your friends.

What are some sure-fire ways to tell if a girl has had an orgasm? Chuck, Freshman
Jessica: I'm going to break the female honor code here and let you men in on the secrets of our mystifying orgasms. Though there really aren't any sure-fire ways other than honest, open communication, there are some physical cues you can look for: if she's fair-skinned, her chest and cheeks may flush noticeably; she may break out in a sudden sweat all over her body; her breathing may quicken, you might hear noises you thought only elephants could make; and lastly, you can usually feel her muscles contract when she climaxes. These should help tip you off.
Brian: From what I've learned, there seems to be no definitive way to tell if a girl has orgasmed. While it's very simple to tell when a guy is reaching his peak, each and every woman has different signs or ways of telling. The easiest way to tell if a girl came is to build up a strong trust between each other. That way when she tells you that you did your job, you will believe her. And don't think you can tell just by how much noise she makes. Just remember how "real" Meg Ryan's impression was in When Harry Met Sally. I have a feeling that is the best orgasm Billy Crystal ever gave to a woman.

USA PEPPERDINE
Friends: Shanna & Dara
It all began at work. Dara Haynes, Topeka junior, was working at Googles of Fun, 4931 W. Sixth St., a Chuck E. Cheese-like edu-tainment place. Shanna Todd, Pretty Prairie senior, was the new girl. Dara says that Shanna was talkative and outgoing, and the two started up a conversation. Then Shanna invited her to a birthday party. They had a great time and so they started hanging out on a regular basis. Neither of them had ever been a fan of flying solo; they say it's great going out together because they act as one another's wingman. Now they've been friends for roughly a year and a half and you'll hardly ever see one without the other.

Why you check your friends' away messages and what it means to be "in the circle"
By Dani Litt, Jayplay writer
"Be right back"
"At class, leave me a message"
"I'm out, call my cell"
At first, away messages functioned like a note on a storekeeper's door three or four words to tell visitors to wait or come back later. But among computer savvy college kids, they have become much more.
Today, students leave away messages to pass along their daily and weekly schedules, tell funny anecdotes and share favorite quotes from the latest books and movies.
"Production meeting, class, work, another meeting, rehearsal, back way later, peace"
"TYLENOL COLD...where have you been my entire life?"
"I'm in advertising, I don't lie, I sell."
-Picture Perfect
Experts say away messages have become a new form of communication and a new way to feel connected; we want to be in the loop.
"In some ways it's like gossiping," says David Jacobson, professor of anthropology at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. "When you are inside the circle, you know the gossip, but if you are excluded it is a statement about your social status."

sages for entertainment.
Jeff Daniels, Overland Park sophomore, uses away messages to keep up with his friends.
"I check them to see where they are and what they are doing," he says. "And to see if there are any funny quotes."
In the know
"I hate spring break. Everyone signs offline and I am no longer continuously updated on my friends daily activities which I have grown so accustom to reading several times daily."
Of the 74 people on his buddy list, Daniels says about 55 of them would know he is playing the drums when he puts up a quote from the movie Drumline.
In one study done in Jacobson's "Virtual Communities" course, a student posted an away message and asked several people to read and interpret it. The message simply read, "sex." Jacobson says, "Guys who didn't know her looked at it and thought maybe she's interested. But women who knew her immediately said 'she's watching Sex and the City,' which is what she intended by the message."
People often have a lot of buddies on their list, but not all of them are close friends. Away messages can mean different things to different readers. Being able to understand an away message gives people a sense of belonging; it also shows they have a close relationship with the person who wrote it, says Jacobson. "It says something about where you are in the social circle."
Jacobson says if students read messages and don't understand them, they still won't feel included. "Away messages don't so much change people's social relationships, but they express inclusion and exclusion in a

"Well, I updated my buddy list...I used to have 152 total buddies, now I'm down to 88...sad sad day...if you want to be on the list and u are afraid you might have been removed, please IM me and plead your case. Thanks"
Away messages have been part of the instant message package since the beginning.
In 1996, America Online introduced the instant messaging program for subscribers only. It became so popular that the company put AOL Instant Messenger on the Web for non-members in May 1997, says Krista Thomas, senior director for AOL corporate communications. AIM can be downloaded for free using any Internet server.
The program allows users to chat online using instant messages and to and to post an away message if the user is away from his computer. "It's like a social contract. You promise a presence by saying you are online," Thomas says. "If you're going to be on the list as a presence, you owe it to the person to say where you are or when you'll be back."
Shortly after the introduction of AIM, other companies, such as Yahoo! and MSN, began offering the same type of messaging. Today, AIM has more than 35 million active users, according to www.corp.col.com. The service is also available on cell phones through companies like Sprint, AT&T/Cingular and Verizon.
Thomas says the company has become aware of the popularity of away messages on college campuses through focus groups and market research. "People tell us they are leaving quotes from the book they are reading or their favorite movie," she says. "We hear a lot about college students leaving funny away messages."
The use of away messages has crept into the workplace too. Thomas uses them to keep in touch with journalists. She has 250 buddies on her buddy list, the maximum number allowed. Her favorite away message is by Ryan Nariane, a reporter for eWeek.com.
"Right now I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before."
"What if the hokey pokey really IS what it's all about? Will we all have to
turn ourselves around?"
Employees in Thomas' office use away messages to say where they are, the best way to reach them and when they will be available. "If you are on deadline, you know that your away message will take care of people for awhile."
Making communication easier
"So far away I bet you can't find me!"
Daniels and Kanterman both agree that away messages are a good, quick way to communicate with others. "Think of how much you know about people through away messages that you wouldn't know otherwise," Kanterman says. "They bring us closer and keep us in touch at a time when not a lot of people want to pick up a phone."
But how many people do they really communicate with on a list that holds a maximum of 250 screen names?
Kanterman has 130 buddies on her list; she talks to only 10 percent of them. But she reads everyone's away messages. "I have a lot of people on my list from high school that I don't talk to anymore," she says. "But I learned where an old friend goes to college from reading her away message."
Not all students find away messages to be as exciting and informative. Some choose to stick to the phone.
"I get too stressed out," says Jessica Gerrick, Ft. Worth, Texas sophomore. "Too many random people IM you, and it just distracts from other things. I'd rather pick up a phone."
Jayplay 09.01.05
Selena Self, Norman, Neb., sophomore, used to use AIM in high school, but sticks to her cell phone now that she is in college. "I came to KU to get away from high school and meet new people. And IM for me is kind of a link back to high school," she says. "I wanted to sever that link from high school and be independent." Self says that away messages may make it easier to express yourself, but she sees a downside to using AIM. "You can't hear the voice and you never really know if their reaction to what you say is true or not."
Misinterpretation is something Jacobson's classes have studied as well. He suggests people take the conversation offline if what they have to say is personal and would cause problems if misunderstood. Away messages are meant for a specific audience, he says. "People aren't going to say things wildly outlandish because they could be held accountable whereas people in chat rooms say nasty things because they know
8
they can't be held accountable."
Susan Gauch, professor of computer science at the University of Kansas, focuses on Internet safety, and as a parent, she sees other potential problems.
"People reveal more than they realize in away messages," she says. "They mention activities, their school, and even if there is no name or number, they can still be found."
A staple in communication "I'll be back soon"
Students' addictions to away messages may not be cured soon, but Jacobson doesn't think it's a bad thing. Initial skeptics worried that online communication would undermine face-to-face conversations, he says. But if it does anything, it supplements face-to-face communication. "They had the same initial concern about the phone or the telegraph, but now people would never say that and we're getting to that point with the Internet," he says.
The number of people who use away messages after college drops dramatically, Jacobson says, when they get caught up in socializing and work.
But that may be changing, too.
"I use them to express creativity," says Tracy Davis, KU alumna. "And also to show people that I am doing something." She has about 200 buddies on her list. Away messages help Davis stay in touch with friends from other states. It also improves her communication with people she wouldn't regularly talk to on the phone.
Davis, an independent contractor for event planning in Dallas, Texas, doesn't think age matters when it comes to using away messages. "I think it just depends on how busy you are," she says. "I mean my sister will use it and she's 25."
"In the room, just not staring at the screen waiting for you to IM be b/c I would just be disappointed... since, clearly you are reading my away message instead of lming me :-D"

My high school friend Chad holds the title for the greatest food-in-class scam ever. He sat beside me in sophomore biology in the front row and, before class, he would stick a pudding cup in the front left pocket of his shirt. Throughout class, Chad would nonchalantly stick his pen into his pocket — as though he had a slight nipple itch — and casually bring it to his intensely-focused face as if amino acids were just too complex to ponder without some good pen-chewing. His eyes never left the teacher, and neither did ours, as we passed our own pens down to him.
To be sure, most professors aren't as strict about the food-and-drink-prohibited laws as Catholic school biology teachers. But eating in class can still be an irritation to both professors and students. David Holmes, professor of psychology, says he doesn't have much of a problem with students eating in class. However, he does mention in his syllabus each semester that food and drink are prohibited. Jamie Grinsell, Long Beach, Calif., senior, says she hates hearing students "chewing and chomping" during class.
But that doesn't mean the hungry
can't snack. Pack the right food the right way, eat it with the right moves and you'll be on your way to snacking AND learning at the same time.
The right stuff
Just because a food has crunchy qualities doesn't mean it has to be any louder than fruit snacks. Think of the food that moms put in baggies for their kids before hauling the family to a quiet event: raisins, Cheerios, Goldfish or maybe even candy if you have a cool mom.
The foolproof foods are chewy: raisins, fruit snacks, bite-sized licorice pieces or any non-melting soft candy. Chocolate, while quiet, also has a pocket life of just a few minutes before your body heat melts it, so avoid it unless it's for immediate consumption. Or if you're an amphibian.
Doyle Hart, Grinnell junior, points out that Gummi bears have a dual function.
"If you get bored in class, you can make your own little love scene with them," says the film student.
But even "loud" foods, like Cheerios Goldfish and other crackers are possi-
biliities. Go back to the baggies of food that moms pack. Now think of how the infants eat them: slowly, methodically toothlessly. Repeat.
Hard candy is another great option that doesn't require much stealth. The crackling of wrappers can be irritating, so hard-candy eaters shouldn't overdo it. If you must eat Jolly Ranchers in class, unwrap them beforehand and load up. A dedicated snacker won't be embarrassed to suck an Oreo into oblivion or spend 50 minutes eating a handful of Cheez-its.
Hey, give me some of your tots
For the most efficient storage of contraband foodstuffs, look no further than Napoleon Dynamite's tot headquarters: his Zubaz cargo pocket. The cargo pocket is the Ark. It's big and it's subtle. All the way down there, near your thigh. Zubaz is optional. Pockets are the most valuable weapons in the food-sneaking arsenal. If you're wearing expensive pants (again, Zubaz is optional), you may want to line your pockets with a baggie first.
Front pockets are required for the pudding trick, but any hoodie or jacket
pocket will suffice for non-gelatinous snacks. The smaller pockets on book bags work well, too, if it doesn't require much reach to get at them. You have to take into account the way you'll get the food to your mouth.
Nice moves
So now you've got a pocketful of Starbursts. How to get them consumed?
The key is patience and subtlety. Above all, keep your eyes off of what you're doing. Move your hand casually. Don't fumble. Bring the food to your mouth. Scratch your chin, cheek or nose after the drop-off. Chew slowly. Don't open your mouth. Appear to be intensely fascinated with whatever the professor is saying. Take notes with the innocent hand.
Follow these simple guidelines, and before you know it, you won't be rushing toward The Underground or the Union in a hysterical burst of hunger after that 11:30 lecture. If you're not a shady person, you may want to start with raisins or Skittles and work your way up.
Don't rush it. Before you know it, you'll be eating Jell-O in the front row.

And you thought yoga was great
How transcendental meditation can change the world
Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer
By Kathryn Anderson, Jayplay writer
My mom was bitter when her boyfriend left Nebraska in 1973 to study transcendental meditation in Switzerland. She was hip, but David had crossed the line. I picture mom's former fling floating on a cloud over the Alps in half-lotus position, chanting like a monk while his fingers formed a circle on either knee. "Ohmmmmmm," he'd utter. That's what I imagine.
Upon further research, I found that followers of transcendental meditation make innumerable promises about the technique. The list is long, but some of the coolest benefits include stress reduction, increased intelligence and creativity, decreased depression and anxiety, inner calm, happiness and more intimate relationships. Oh yeah, and world peace.
Perhaps David wasn't smoking too much dope. Perhaps he was onto something.Today, almost six million people practice transcendental meditation, including about a million Americans.
Once upon a time
His Holiness, Maharishi Mahesh Yagi, arrived in California on a winter day in early 1959. With him, he brought a grand plan and, presumably, little luggage. Maharishi's plan was to familiarize the world with transcendental meditation. His ultimate message? "Life is bliss. Man is born to enjoy. Within everyone is an unlimited reservoir of energy, intelligence, and happiness."
Maharishi believed people could learn
to live life this way through transcendental meditation. And some people did. Half a century later, millions have jumped on the bandwagon for some pretty substantial rewards. Maharishi's world plan was to launch peace palaces, centers where people could learn the transcendental meditation technique, in 3,000 major cities of the world.
Proving it
More than 600 studies have uncovered the scientific truths of this meditation phenomenon. Between 1978 and 2000, the results of 47 studies confirmed a phenomenon that was later tagged the "Maharishi Effect". They found that in societies with 1 percent of the population practicing transcendental meditation, there was a measurable downturn in crime and a positive change in community cohesion.
Transcendental meditation is one of the most studied human development programs in modern science, with more than 200 universities and research centers devoting countless hours unraveling the truth about transcendental meditation.
A National Institutes of Health study found that patients who "ohmmmed" cross-legged for one year lowered their blood pressure more than patients who skipped the lotus position and simply followed muscle relaxation techniques.
The Maharishi University of Management, founded by - you guessed it — His Holiness himself, cited an overall
rise in IQ scores in students practicing transcendental meditation. The Journal of Social Behavior and Personality found that practicing transcendental meditation increased self-actualization three times more than other techniques. And a 1973 study at the University of Kansas found that inmates at Stillwater Prison who utilized the facility's transcendental meditation program were more involved in prison activities and experienced reduced levels of anxiety. They also had fewer disciplinary rule infractions and parole violations.
Sounds so good I had to try it
The transcendental meditation program contains seven steps and takes a measly four to five days to learn. It sounded great until I checked out the price tag - a whopping $2,500. After a polite goodbye, I enlist the help of Rick Winfrey, a practicing Buddhist and Wichita senior in religious studies and environmental engineering. Winfrey practices Shinay meditation. He says Shinay means "calm abiding" in Sanskrit. Winfrey explains his first meditating experience with the nostalgia of the recently de-flowered. During his first experience, he says he felt a strong feeling of recognition coupled with a pair of eyes that were continuously opening. Cool enough, I think. Let's get started.
Naturally, I had asked Rick to meet me under a tree on campus. However, it's important to minimize potential distractions, so we relocated to a concrete
bench behind Wescoe. Rick is ultra-mellow, hospitable and eager to share his vast cosmic wisdom. Sitting "comfortably erect" with my hands on my knees, I avert my eyes downward 45 degrees and place my tongue behind my front teeth, as instructed. Winfrey and I practice sustaining attention on in-breaths and out-breaths. I sit with my feet planted on the grass, breathing slowly and feeling quite uncomfortable erect.
Truthfully, everything is a bit blurry and an 11:00 class seems suddenly manageable. Many rookies mistake zoning out for successful meditation. Winfrey points out that meditation is not zoning out, nor is it relaxation. If you're bored during meditation, you aren't meditating. Oops. My tutor assures me that it takes practice.
Gotta trv it?
Meditation is one of those things that shouldn't be attempted without the supervision of a grownup. A qualified teacher is imperative for the safety of your sanity. The Transcendental Meditation Program holds lessons in Kansas City, Mo. Visit www.tm.org for the skinny. But, if you're like me, and see $2,500 as a year's rent, visit the Kansas Zen Center, 1423 New York St. Members of the center learn about Zen Buddhism and meditation through workshops and activities, including some that are free, held in this neck of the woods.

Sufjan Stevens
Come on Feel the Illinoise
With a name like Sufjan Stevens, this singer-songwriter instrumentalist is bound to turn some heads. Add in a conceptual album based on the state of Illinois, and he's sure to get attention. Come on Feel the Illinois! is Stevens' second album in an attempt to create a collection of albums about each of the 50 states. Michigan, his home state, was the first.
Illinoise! is truly artistic from all points of view. The slip cover is coated with images specific to the state
including the Chicago skyline, Superman and Abraham Lincoln. Play the CD and you'll find it to be an imaginative blend. Stevens plays and layers over 20 instruments for the album. He includes everything from banjos to xylophones to piccolos, creating an overall sound reminiscent of The Polyphonic Spree.
Illinoise! has the happiness of The Flaming Lips' while mirroring Neil Young with banjo-heavy songs like "Jacksonville." If you like iron and Wine frontman Sam Beam's voice, Sufjan Stevens should be right up your alley. It has just enough of that dusty quality to complement his contemplative lyrics. And contemplative they are, as he
asks, "What have we become, America?" in "Part I: 'The Great Frontier'..." Rarely will you find an album so well researched: the songs immortalize Polish Chicagooan Casimir Pulaski, Chicago serial-killer John Wayne Gacy Jr., the UFO sighting near Highland and many other interesting subjects specific to Illinois.
Seven instrumentals are interspersed between the lyricized songs, giving variety to the listening experience.
Simply put, this is one of the most original albums you will hear this year.
Sufjan Stevens is playing at the Bottleneck Sept. 21.

Limbeck
Let Me Come Home ☆☆
Limbeck's previous album, Hi Everything's Great, was a great album. The album, which tells stories of driving around America, does so with a strong alt-country rock feel reminiscent of Ryan Adams and is the perfect soundtrack for any road trip.
Unfortunately, the band's follow-up Let Me Come Home, essentially repeats their previous effort. Most of the songs
The production level is sub-par on the band's second album, having chosen to record live at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis, a decision that possibly should be rethought.
stick to the same formula of upbeat tempos and sharing stories of the road. Some of the songs are spiced up with added instrumentals, from piano, mandolin and even an accordion. It does little to enhance the repetitive style throughout the album though.
The most interesting track on the album is "I Saw You Laughing," a slowed-
down song with some interesting percussion and country-style piano.
"Sin City" also stands out with its slower tempo, rising guitar chords and harmonica parts. "Making The Rounds" is also a good track, with its catchy background vocals and good use of acoustic and electric guitars.
Let Me Come Home has a few good tracks, but simply doesn't deliver the road trip fun that its predecessor does. So if you're looking for a good Limbeck album, go with Hi Everything's Great.

GAME
Big Mutha Truckers 2:
Truck Me Harder
System: X-Box, PS2, Gamecube, PC
If bad game titles were a criminal offense, the team behind Big Mutha Truckers 2: Truck Me Harder would probably be facing capital punishment right about now. This lowly anticipated sequel to the former worst-titled game ever features the same lowbrow, blue-collar "humor" as the original and a title twice as dumb. Oh yeah, and the gameplay remains terrible.
Things kick off when Ma Jackson, the proprietor of the trucking company, Big Mutha Truckers, is thrown in jail for tax evasion. Elaborating on the story from here is pointless. I may as well detail the plotline of my last bathroom break.
In order to free Ma Jackson, players take control of one of four truckers and undergo a number of missions and delivery jobs to raise money. The controls are bad, the missions are idiotic and the gameplay itself is about as exciting as watching trees grow. In short, the game plays like a budget-titled Grand Theft Auto, minus the fun.
The list of complaints could go on for miles. If you value your brain cells, stay away from this game. It trucking sucks.

MOVIES
The Brothers Grimm PG-13, 118 minutes, South Wind 12 ★★★
Between the horses that swallow children, little mud men stealing a child's eyes and a kitten killed by whirring blades, I came to one conclusion about the The Brothers Grimm: director Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys) is one sick bastard.
Matt Damon and Heath Ledger play brothers, Will and Jake Grimm, the future authors of every fairytale known to man. Now, this film could have run with that, exploring how the two men come to create some of the most famous stories in the world. But alas, Gilliam chooses to make the brothers into medieval Ghostbusters; the only difference is that they create their own ghosts and then "remove" them from unwitting
towns. This goes on until the French army finds beef with them and instead of locking them up, sends the two to a town where a real curse causes young girls to disappear. The rest of the plot is so concocted and complicated I can hardly go into it. But needless to say, the film has some problems, mostly in the area of fancy and fantasy.
Damon, as the lothario, and Ledger, as the dreamer, make plausible brothers and they're often funny in a shrieking, conniving kind of way. But they, too, get lost in the director's overindulgence.
The production design is really the star here. So if you must take the journey into Gilliam's world, where the storyline doesn't seem to matter, your eyes will be filled with captivating images. Unfortunately, the most interesting thought in your head will probably be the question, "what?"

Me and You and Everyone We Know
R, 93 minutes, South Wind 12 ☆☆☆
After debuting her first feature film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Miranda July is now known in Hollywood as a triple threat. She not only wrote the screenplay to this endlessly odd yet endearing film, but also stars in and directs the movie. The film is about the unusual and wonderful connections people choose to make throughout their everyday lives. The main characters are written with a colorful array of idiosyncrasies, albeit too blatantly. There is an elderly Hispanic man who finds love at the age of 70, two extremely bold and competitive teenaged girls and a middle-aged father struggling with a divorce.

Initially, we are presented with adults dealing with crossroads-situations and
July makes wonderful use of quiet moments between characters and her script is sprinkled with poignant lines of dialogue and amusingly tender moments of empathy. At one point the divorcee solemnly says, "There is not enough time for time-outs".
Miranda July cleverly displays a unique collection of characters and their hopes, fears and traumas. But she falls short with the main romance and excessively weird circumstances. Despite her initial shortcomings, we can expect a bright future from her as evidenced in this charming, yet unstable, first effort.
children who exist somewhere in between. In spite of the film's "freshman kinks," there are several laugh-out-loud moments. A bi-racial four-year-old and his older brother engage in a truly hilarious conversation in a sex chat room.

ly to be injured in an attack than victims armed with guns and twice as likely to be injured than victims who do not resist. Stun guns require three seconds of close contact with an attacker to distribute the electrical charge, and the Mace we buy is diluted and virtually useless against an attacker, especially one who is drunk or on narcotics. That leaves me with guns as my first — and only
- choice of self-defense weapons.
My friends' reactions about the gun class varied. I learned that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a woman wielding a gun. But women with guns make perfect sense to me. Our bodies are not built like men's. We weren't made to be warriors. In an attack, a man could easily overpower a woman. But guns are "the great equalizer" between the sexes. They put us on even ground. I know that if a potential attacker knew I had a gun, I would be safe.
How can I be so confident? Because empirical evidence suggests criminals avoid armed victims. In Orlando, in 1966, a series of brutal rapes plagued the city. In response, the Orlando Sentinel Star and the local police department trained 6,000 women to use guns in self-defense. The newspaper gave incredible coverage to the training, hoping to discourage the rapist or rapists from attacking for fear that the women might be armed.
One year later, none of the trained
women had needed to use her gun. None of the women had turned the gun on a husband or boyfriend. And there had been no accidental shootings. While the number of rapes in 1966 was 36, in 1967, the year after the training, there were only four rapes. In addition, Orlando saw a 25 percent decrease in both violent assault and burglary, making it the only city in the United States with a population higher than 100,000 where crime actually decreased in 1967. I'm not preaching that every woman should own a gun. It's a big responsibility. And if you aren't committed to educating yourself and practicing frequently, a gun might not do you much good in a real emergency anyway. I've taken steps to educate myself about guns and will continue to do so as a responsible gun owner. Gun owners aren't paranoid eccentrics who will one day go crazy and kill someone out of anger. They're simply people like me, who choose to be responsible for their own safety instead of becoming victims.

KSU students to build in Lawrence
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas State University architecture students are designing a new building in Lawrence instead of University of Kansas' architecture students.
The Islamic Center of Lawrence worked with a junior architecture studio design class from K-State last spring semester to develop models for a major rebuilding project anticipated at the center.
Mousa Elbayoumy, facilities manager of the Islamic Center of Lawrence, said he had contacted the University of Kansas' School of Architecture first, but miscommunication between the two led to a dead end.
"Somehow we didn't make the right connection with KU," Elbayoumy said. "Contact was made by phone with two professors whose names were given to us by KU students."
Donna Luckey, chairwoman of the School of Architecture at the University of Kansas, said she had no prior knowledge of the project but wishes that she had known.
Instead, Donald Watts, professor of architecture at K-State, had the opportunity to oversee the project with his class.
“It’s new to me.” Luckey said. “but it’s that kind of thing I’d love to get our students involved in.”
Watts said he was contacted by his friend and colleague, architecture professor Fayez Husseini, who is also a member of the Manhattan Islamic Center. In turn, Husseini was approached by Elbayoumy, who was then director of the center.
Husseini and Watts first visited the Islamic Center of Lawrence a year ago to assess the situation.
Then students visited the center at the beginning of the spring semester to observe Friday afternoon services and meet with members of the mosque.
Representatives from the center came to K-State twice to review the progress and answer questions. At the end of the six weeks, the students' models
were exhibited in Seaton Hall.
Watts said everyone involved was pleased with the experience, especially students, who expressed their appreciation to be able to work on a project that had real problems involving real people.
Elbayoum also said he was happy with the outcome.
"I cannot say enough how grateful we are for the dedication, professionalism and creativity showed by this group of students and the professors," Elbayoumy said. "They also paid utmost attention to the religious guidelines and traditions which took a lot of research and learning."
Currently the Islamic Center of Lawrence is located at 19th Street and Naismith Drive. Watts said the rebuilding efforts came as a result from a desire for the building to remain at its location near campus and an attempt to accommodate an anticipated 70 percent growth over the coming decade.
"We are in the very early stages of planning this big project," he said. "With the growth our community has experienced over the last few years we want to be proactive."
The center is housed in a former Baptist Church built in the 1950s and a separate educational and fellowship building built by the church in the 1960s.
Elbayoumie said it will be a major project that will take three to five years and will redo one-third to one-half of the building.
The students' models were shown at the center last Sunday and Monday.
"We put the models on display so community members could pick what they like," Elbayoumy said. "Then we will take their input and have a final model of what the building will look like."
Watts said after determining the condition of the existing structures, a decision was made to recommend the demolition of the existing church but maintain the educational and fellowship building.

Gates in contention
Oread residents cagey about iron gates and stone pillars
BY LOUIS MORA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Oread neighborhood east of the University of Kansas is going through some changes and not everyone is happy about it.
Members of the Oread Neighborhood Association wrote a letter to the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission asking it to look into the addition of iron gates and stone pillars to several houses in the area.
The residents want to see if those additions, which have cropped up in the neighborhood, are acceptable for their historically designated district.
"I think they're so distinct you notice them as sort of an element," said Marci Francisco, member of the association
Landlords who are partners with Crimson Property, a development company that buys homes in the neighborhood and renovates them, installed the gates and pillars.
Residents in the community have concerns about the structural additions to the remodeled homes.
Candy Davis, association vice president, said she had mixed feelings because she enjoyed the historic presence that the houses and neighborhood provide.
"I personally value the historic parts of our neighborhood." she said.
While those in the Oread community see the fences as detracting from the historic area,members of Crimson Property see them only no positive

Modern anti-war protests scarce, follow different format
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
David Katzman remembers a day when student protests were common at the University of Kansas. It's not quite the same anymore.
"It was an unpopular war. Male students were directly at risk because of the draft," said Katzman, now chairman of the American studies department. "People went out to protest about it, anti-draft as well as anti-war."
A recent protest on campus by members of Lawrence Counter-Recruitment called for milli-
When Katzman first came to the University in 1969, the anti-Vietnam movement was in full swing.
One such protest occurred at Kent State University in Akron, Ohio, on May 4, 1970. Ohio National Guard members shot and killed four protesting students in the midst of riotous conditions.
tary recruiters to leave campus, but the protest was not marked by the violence and vandalism that colored the protests of the '60s and '70s.
"Things just happened a lot more spontaneously." Danny Kaiser, assistant dean of students, said of the '60s.
The number of protests that occur on campus as well as the nature of those protests have changed drastically since the 1960s and 1970s, he said.
Students today are not as likely to protest as they once did. Katzman said.
"1
It was an unpopular war. Male students were directly at risk because of the draft. People went out to protest about it, antidraft as well as anti-war."

Protesters at the University now follow rules. And while permission from the University is not required, some groups check with the University Events Committee, which approves space for events, to plan protests, said Kaiser.
Police protected the recent protestors rather than trying to disperse them, said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office.
The basic rule about protesting nowadays on campus is that the protest must not disrupt the business of the University. This means that students must be able to get to and from class without a problem. Voice amplification through megaphones or microphones is not allowed because it would disrupt classes.
"That's considered inappropriate behavior," Kaiser said.
Gustavo Sudre, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior, said he probably would not protest, even if he believed strongly about an issue.
"I don't feel like I need to change people's minds," he said.
Danielle Burch, Bonner Springs sophomore, said she would probably not protest either, but some situations might provoke her.
"I would protest to spread love instead of aneru." she said.
Katzman said people are not provoked to protest because they don't feel as directly affected by the war as students in the 1960s did.
Katzman said even though there is a war on in Iraq, it
does not directly affect as many people as the Vietnam War. There is no draft and not everyone has a loved one or acquaintance who is sent off to fight. In the '60s, people were also more familiar with the idea of protesting because of the Civil Rights Movement.
Katzman said he didn't believe that protesting would ever have as vital a role as it did in the '60s.
The effect of the war on troops is hidden from Americans, Katzman said. And if the people don't see the truth, they have nothing to protest against, he said.
"Students are not motivated to do anything about the war," Katzman said.

Sleuth keeps felons out
NEIGHBORHOODS
Local broker gives landlords vital statistics
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Steve Hicks might keep you from getting that perfect two-bedroom you've been eying. He might also keep you safe in that apartment.
Hicks is the only broker in Lawrence who sells information on people's rental, credit and criminal histories to property managers and businesses. He asked that the name of his service be withheld for fear of retribution from those who have been denied in the rental and job application processes.
"A lot of the people I see as applicants are students, in the nature of the demographics of this community," said Hicks, who has been in the business for 10 years.
Hicks said students' histories were evaluated 15 to 20 percent of the time.
"If it's repeated felonies, it should be taken into consideration. But if it's something someone did ten years ago, then it's not that big of a deal," she said.
Tracy Cota, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore, said criminal background checks should be used.
Adam Whitener, Overland Park senior, said that he didn't have anything bad on his record and that he hoped the service would make residences safer places to live.
Every day, Hicks gets information on the nature of incidents, suspects and victims, including their names and addresses, from police reports and jail logs, he said.
He said the landlord had discretion to decide if an applicant meets the dwelling's criminal and income criteria and if a client called to inquire about the background of a potential tenant, he searched his database and gave the landlord a copy of his findings.
Hicks said he charged $25 for information about an individual and $40 for a married couple. He said his clients consisted mostly of smaller property management operations, which may own up to 100 units.
Alicia Smiley, regional manager for First Management, Inc., said the firm had a company based in Kansas City, Kan., that it used to check past employment, credit scores, landlord histories and criminal backgrounds. First Management oversees approximately 1,000 units in Lawrence.
"We do criminal background checks to help aid in the safety of our tenants." Smiley said.
Hicks used to check only rental histories and credit reports, but after working in the business for a couple of years, a landlord asked him whether he could get criminal information. The landlord was worried that criminals might attract police too often and scare away other renters, he said.
Domestic battery cases, especially, concerned landlords, Hicks said. A person may have committed battery several times without going to trial because the victim may have refused to file charges, he said.
"So the only record that there is some kind of problem going on there, you know, that there's screaming and hollering and
throwing of dinnerware in that place, is that the guy is arrested so frequently." Hicks said.
Bill Staples, chairman of the department of sociology at the University of Kansas, said this type of information gathering could have "collateral consequences," meaning a person who committed a crime may not be the only one punished.
"Let's say a guy gets in a fight downtown and he has a wife and two kids. If his family can't lease an apartment, it's guilt by association," Staples said.
Hicks said he helped law enforcement, as well. He said sometimes law enforcement agencies lost track of sex offenders and if he encountered one in the public record who had a standing warrant, he informed the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"There's a great quotation from an icon of American literature, William Faulkner; it was central to his novels. 'The past isn't the past yet, it's not even over.' And I think that is so true," Hicks said.

Gas prices deal blow to local workers
BY CHRISTINA SPALDING editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Looking at the ticker on the gas pump, Brian Holland, Edina, Minn., senior, shakes his head in disbelief. Filling up his tank will cost him nearly $30, and because he uses his car for his job, he most likely will have to fill up again in just a few days.
Holland is just one of many KU students facing the expensive gasoline problem. As a delivery driver for Jimmy John's, he drives his car for at least 20 hours a week for work alone. With gas prices in Lawrence hitting about $3 a gallon, remaining at a delivery job becomes a problem for people such as Holland.
"This is getting out of control," Holland said. "There's no way I can afford to run this car if gas prices stay like this."
Management at restaurants such as Jimmy John's are seeing the effects of gas prices on their employees.
"Our delivery drivers are really taking a hit," Yingling said. "I get complaints at least five times a day and threats to quit if I don't compensate, but it's understandable. In a lot of cases our drivers will lose money doing a delivery based on the cost to fill up their tank."
Scott Yingling, manager at Gumby's Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St., faces the issue every day.
Delivery drivers aren't the only people taking a hit. With jobs in Lawrence so scarce, many students commute to other cities, such as Topeka and Kansas City, for work. Just having the money to get to their jobs is becoming a problem.
Attention to detail
"This is getting out of control. There's no way I can afford to run this car if gas prices stay like this."
Senior
Brian Holland
"I run out of applications every day and I can usually only hire about a tenth of the people that apply," he said.
August and September are the hardest times to find a job in town said Taylor White, manager at Jimmy John's on 23rd St.
Scott Handy, Wayzata, Minn., senior, works in downtown Kansas City, Mo., at Old Dominion Shipping Co. Because of the high price of gas, he was forced to put in his two weeks notice and attempt to find a job in Lawrence.
Students such as Handy face another problem by giving up their out-of-town jobs—finding work in Lawrence.
This is bad news for people like Holland, who may be searching, along with other students, for a job that won't guzzle their gas and empty their wallets.
"It's roughly 40 miles from Lawrence to Kansas City," Handy said. "Make that a round trip, three days a week, and you've got nearly 250 miles a week. I just can't afford to put that much gas in my car anymore."

Students' mental health problems on the rise
BY ZAK BEASLEY
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Doctors from the Counseling and Psychological Services have reported an increase of 35 percent in the number of students with mental health issues during the last five years at the University of Kansas.
The most common types of mental health illnesses treated on campus are depression and anxiety. Counselors have also stated that the severity of the cases has increased.
Frank DeSalvo, CAPS director, said in 2000 the center saw about 800 students. By 2004, DeSalvo said CAPS was seeing more than 1,200 students.
There are two types of students treated at CAPS. The first type of student has pre-existing medical conditions and visits the center on a regular basis. The second type of student has an unexpected crisis he or she needs treatment for, such as a death in the family, DeSalvo said.
Almost 15 percent of the nation's college students have reported that they have suffered from a mental illness. A national study conducted by the American College Health Association found that the number of students suffering from mental health issues has increased by nearly 50 percent in the last five years. A similar study shows that 85 percent of college psychiatric clinics have had significant increases in the number of cases in the last five years.
Unfortunately, the cause of this growing problem is not limited to one source.
"A student's mental health problems can come from a number of things." DeSalvo said. "Perhaps a student becomes overwhelmed with school work, breaks up with his or her significant other, or forgets to refill their medication. The variables are endless."
Nick Dormer, Topela junior,
sees many different kinds of
students as a resident hall assistant
at Lewis Hall. He thinks that the
social and academic pressures of
college life are equally responsible
for a student's mental health.
"Students, especially freshmen, are constantly trying to find ways to be accepted. When they don't achieve that acceptance, they begin to slip into depression," he said.
Like most physical injuries, mental problems require appropriate treatment in order for someone to properly recover. Without treatment, a student's mental problems will only get worse.
"I have seen how students can suffer from mental health issues," Dormer said. "Students who used to be socially active begin to shut themselves off from society. They eventually stop talking to friends and their academics begin to suffer."
Even though mental illness is becoming a bigger problem on college campuses, there are solutions.
"Most students who use CAPS are usually treated within three to five visits," DeSalvo said. "Normally, students do not have reoccurring episodes, unless they have serious pre-existing conditions."
"The problem is that as the semester goes on, it becomes harder for us to see everyone," DeSalvo said. "By November, a student will not be able to see us until 10 to 15 days after they have made their appointment; however, we will never turn a student away who is in dire need of counseling."
CAPS allows students to meet with counselors one-on-one to discuss their problems. Sessions last for one hour and students can return as many times as needed.
Besides CAPS, students can get information on mental health care at the American College Health Association's Web site www.acha.org, or the National Mental Health Association's Web site www.nmha.org.

medical personnel comfort a child who was airlifted from New Orleans to the downtown airport Wednesday, in Kansas City, Mo. The evacuation was being conducted by the 139th Airlift Wing based out of St. Joseph, Mo., in conjunction with Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
Child patients moved
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Twenty-four young patients from a hospital in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans have been brought to Kansas City. They were flown in Wednesday night on two Missouri Air National Guard transport planes.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Children's Mercy Hospital of Kansas City agreed to take the patients, sending a team to New Orleans earlier Wednesday to start arranging the transfer from that city's Children's Hospital. The two hospitals are not affiliated, but Randall O'Donnell, chief executive officer of the Kansas City facility, is a longtime friend of his New Orleans counterpart and offered to do whatever was needed to help.
Tom McCormally, a spokesman for the Kansas City hospital, said the New Orleans hospital called Wednesday asking for accommodations as quickly as possible for patients and their families.
"They said not tomorrow, it needs to be today." M Cornally
Kansas City hospital takes youths
said. "They were really anxious to get the children out of there to someplace safe and dry, away from the chaos."
McCormally said the hospital contacted the office of Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., which helped arrange for the National Guard transport on two C-130 planes from the 139th Airlift Wing, based in St. Joseph. The planes were already in the Gulf area, having flown guardsmen from Colorado to Gulfport, Miss, to help in the hurricane relief efforts.
The two C-130s arrived at Kansas City's downtown airport about 11 p.m., with a convoy of ambulances waiting to transport the patients. Some were taken to the main Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, others to Children's Mercy South in suburban Overland Park, Kan.
"Just to get to help the children really felt good," said Maj. Ron Douglas of the Air Guard unit. "We were willing to work longer if
we had to."
McCormally said the patients range in age from a few months to 20 years. He said they were hospitalized for everything from asthma to leukemia to kidney dialysis, with conditions ranging from fair to critical.
"Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid anymore," said Arnita Lister of Shreveport, La., who arrived with her 3-year-old son, to whom she donated a kidney in February.
McCormily said the New Orleans hospital sent about 40 children to a hospital in Houston, with Kansas City getting the next largest number and others going to locations that included Birmingham, Ala., Little Rock, Ark., and Memphis, Tenn.
McCormally said about 30 parents and siblings who accompanied the patients to Kansas City stayed overnight at the hospital and hospital social workers were helping arrange for longer-term accommodations.

Superdome refugees evacuate to Houston
BY MARY FOSTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS - At the front of the line, the weary refugees waded through ankle-deep water, grabbed a bottle of water from state troopers and happily hopped on buses that would deliver them from the horrendous conditions of the Superdome.
At the back end of the line, people jammed against police barricades in the rain. Refugees passed out and had to be lifted hand-overhand over headend to medics. Pets were not allowed on the bus, and when a police officer confiscated a little boy's dog, the child cried until he vomited. "Snowball, Snowball," he cried.
The scene played out yesterday as the plodding procession out of
the Superdome entered its second day — an evacuation that became more complicated as thousands more storm victims showed up at the arena.
Capt. John Pollard of the Texas Air Force National Guard said 20,000 people were in the dome when the evacuation efforts began. By yesterday afternoon, the number had swelled to about 30,000. Pollard said people poured into the Superdome because they believe it's the best place to get a ride out of town.
The refugees began arriving yesterday at the Astrodome in Houston, where they got a shower, a hot meal and a cool place to sleep.
I haven't had a bath. They treated us like animals. Everybody is scared."
"I would rather have been in jail," Janice Jones said in obvious relief at being out of the dome. "I've been in there seven days and
Miranda Jones, her daughter, was standing next to her, carrying her father's ashes — the only thing they were able to save from her house before Hurricane Katrina blasted New Orleans.
An angry Terry Ebbert, head of New Orleans' emergency operations, watched the slow exodus from the Superdome and said the Federal Emergency Management Agency response was inadequate.
The chaos at the nearby New Orleans Convention Center was considerably more hostile than the Superdome, with few options for refugees to leave the scene.
"This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control." Ebbert said.
After a day in line in the heat without water or food, dozens of people fell out. Medics poured water on them, fanned them, and tried to cool them down.
One woman, lying on a canvas cot, was in convulsions. Medics doused her with water and slapped her, trying to bring her around.
Meanwhile the crowd kept growing as stranded people heard about the buses and headed to the dome.
By early afternoon, a line of people a half-mile long snaked from the Superdome through the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel, then to where buses waited.
State troopers, making every effort to be cheerful, handed out bottles of water and tried to keep families and groups together.

"The Oread is a historic area and the kind of features that make an area distinctive are important," Carol von Tersch, Oread resident, said.
"People that live in the neighborhood don't want to see those characteristics lost."
While von Tersch does not necessarily welcome the distinctive style created by the newly remodeled houses, the houses are now restored and up-to-date.
She said renovating the houses was better than the alternative of simply demolishing them, though.
"I'm pleased to see the owners and investors are really investing to fix the houses up. I think that's a very positive thing," she said.

CULTURE SHOCK
Embrace the F-word
Many men I have encountered are confused, uneasy or misinformed on the significance of the "f-word." This is unsurprising because of the many conflicting connotations of feminism spread throughout society.
The televangelist Pat Robertson erroneously and hilariously defines feminism as "a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
I tragically went on a first – and last – date with a chauvinist who had an equally flawed definition. After I used feminist as an adjective to describe myself he replied, "You can't be one of those "femi-nazis." Feminists are bra-burning-men-hating women who are too ugly to get laid, so they stop shaving and become lesbians."
Check please! Feminism encompasses a wide range of philosophies, movements and theories, but this is what it signifies to me.
It means women are liberated from male dominance. It means women are treated as political and intellectual equals. It means they are as free as men to express themselves socially. They are not confined to stereotypical roles. It means women have control over their bodies. It means women unite in sisterhood, abandoning pettiness. It means both genders have equal economic opportunities.
Feminism in the context of relationships implies that males should not have authority over

females and vice versa. Men should not exploit the labor of their partners, but instead they should have equal responsibility with the children and household duties.
Feminism is mutually beneficial to us all. As a woman, I am not trapped by being economically reliant on a male. Thus when seeking a relationship, I can take my time, choose characteristics I want and base it on love without the complication of materialistic motivators. The male is rewarded by a having a more fulfilling reciprocal relationship in which he is mentally stimulated.
These attitudes stem from Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women, published in 1792. She argues that because women instruct the children and are companions of the husband, they should be informed. Now fellas, I suspect you don't want a helpless dim-witted wife raising your kids. Feminism remains a work in progress.
Primarily, women have yet to break through the infamous glass ceiling. In 2005, 46.5 percent of America's workers are women, and 92 percent of senior managers are men, as reported by The Economist on July 23. In addition, female managers earn only 72 percent of their male counterparts' earnings. Women
with children often suffer further because careers add responsibilities without relief from their motherly duties and household burdens.
Another obstacle for the future of feminism is the division among feminists themselves. Some view Brittany Spears' exploitation of the male sex drive as empowering. I lean more toward the side that thinks such actions set feminism back, as it is perceived as a shallow manipulation of men. The same as what many men have historically done to women. This proliferating type of media figure glamorizes a life of endless frivolity, and it insinuates to young women that it is essential to use sexuality and beauty to succeed instead of one's brainpower, talent and that forgotten ingredient: integrity.
Few viewpoints parallel the democratic nature of the feminist perspective. Both genders need to continue to move feminism forward. One way is to be involved in organizations such as NOW (National Organization for Women) or the KU chapter of FU (Feminists United).
And males, if you feel uncomfortable with the label "feminist," proudly call yourself a "gender egalitarian."

KILLS VAMPIRES DEAD
Gas can be small price to pay
So far with the rising gasoline prices, I've heard many people comment that it's President George Bush's fault because he opted to fight with Iraq, instead of making it the next political bed buddy. First off, gas prices rise because the natural rhythm of the concept "supply and demand." People, besides the Iraqi and Saudi pipelines, there are other factors that have caused the price of gasoline and crude oil to rise. First, inflation. Has anyone been paying attention to the impact on trade with our South American oil buddies? Second, military conflict. Sure, the war isn't helping things. Third, weather. These hurricanes have been destroying wells, refineries and pipelines making it nearly impossible to transport this liquid gold to us consumers.
The higher gas prices have not stopped KU students from continuing to do what they do best: consume. Every time you shop, eat, go to hang out with friends or come to school, you are using your supply of gasoline. During this week, the gas prices throughout town have jumped up from the range of 2.55 to 2.59 per gallon for regular gas to about $3. Now many of you studs out there might be saying, "Well, I paid more than 2.59 for my gas!" But think, does your car really need supreme gas or can your Honda take the regular?
P
SARA GARLICK opinion@kansan.com
If your car isn't a sports car, or has an engine that requires you to tank up on high-priced, high-quality gasoline, then chalk up the high bills to your own stupidity. Maybe most of you haven't had parents who harp about the rationing of gas back in the '70s and '80s. They used to spend hours in line just to fill their cars up. But that's only if they had a license plate that ended in an odd or even number, depending on the day. You're lucky! I've read all of the gas-price stories and how everyone thought that we were going to go into another crisis because people couldn't afford to pay for the gas to commute to work. This is where programs such as car pooling and public transportation kick in.
To quote Donna Hultine, the director of parking. "The parking
For students complaining about the rise, people are still driving more, which spends more money than taking alternative means of transportation such as the bus, car pool, bike, or walking. Hell, everyone can benefit from walking to class at least once.
lots certainly seem just as full as a typical beginning of a fall semester." Needless to say, making a big deal about the rise in gas prices is a waste of time. You don't have to panic and stock up your gas supply in your basement like it's the end of the world. Prices will go down eventually. They have in the past, and they will rise again in the future. Simple laws of economics have just come into play. Finite supply combined with a rise in demand will yield higher prices. If Americans want gas prices to go down, while satisfying the same demand, then let's go and tap that great Alaskan pipeline!

A plunger, a staple gun spackle, tubing, insulation, twine, and glitter. What are you making?
Homemade sex toys.
I read about it in the Kansan.
Just get the hell out.
Improvise between the thighs
Not everyone is as willing to spend as much time in Lawrence sex stores as myself. While I now only make it into stores like Priscilla's and Naughty But Nice every few months, there was a time that as soon as I walked in, whoever was behind the counter came over to chat (mind you this is because I had already been there at least once that week).
PILLOW TALK
For those of you who are too uncomfortable in sex stores and do not enjoy spending extra money for that "unmarked" package to arrive in the mail, I have another option - buying products from mainstream product retailers. With a little imagination, these improvised "toys" can be just as enjoyable.
I spent some time this weekend wandering through some stores with a close friend. Normally, we would spend little, if any time in a home improvement retailer, but for you, my readers, we spent about an hour. We walked up and down the aisles examining merchandise, only guessing at its intended use. There were some things that looked like fun, but upon careful inspection, did not seem safe, so I warn you to never risk injury. What we did find could indeed provide pleasurable.

For readers wanting a softer touch, I recommend the wide selection of gloves, allowing for many different sensations. Those slightly more vanilla may be interested in the shower heads that can be set to different water pressures to massage deep inside and the knee pads to protect against those cold hard dorm-room floors.
The pet store was stalked with a different sort of fun. There were collars and leashes for a dominatrix session (remember to leave enough room for a comfortable fit), along with bowls intended to be left on the floor. Again the vanilla pleasure is not forgotten, for I could not believe the number of teaser toys. While these are sold for cat and ferret play, many have feathers or soft plush dangling from the end.
even restraints. While pharmaceuticals normally have little to provide, there are options for personal hygiene. While not for all, enema kits can be both arousing and useful for anal encounters to follow. For obvious reasons there is often a humiliation factor if fecal material is left on one's penis, finger or toy. Not only will an enema remove this embarrassing factor, but will help allow the body to relax and open for more enjoyable anal sex.
This product slips over one's finger and is marketed to help release tension in the face and eye region. The fact is, there is no difference between this and what you would pay as much as three times for it marketed as a vibrator. It is small, easy to store and use and most importantly will make one's clitoris feel all tingly inside.
The last store to mention is the discount department retailer. While this all-purpose store allows for all sorts of imagination, I will suggest but a few items. The fabric in the crafts section can make a cheap blindfold, gag and
There is but one last item for me to mention today, the massager. While many forms exist, some are quite similar if not identical to vibrators sold in erotic shops. The example I will use mention is the finger massager.
This information, while new to some, and a review to others, will hopefully provide hours of enjoyment for those who choose to utilize it. May all your sexual encounters be "safe, safe and consensual." Enjoy, and have fun.

Tom McCormally, a spokesman for the Kansas City hospital, said the New Orleans hospital called Wednesday asking for accommodations as quickly as possible for patients and their families.
"They said not tomorrow, it needs to be today," Mcmally
said. "They were really anxious to get the children out of there to someplace safe and dry, away from the chaos."
Kansas City hospital takes youths
McCormally said the hospital contacted the office of Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., which helped arrange for the National Guard transport on two C-130 planes from the 139th Airlift Wing, based in St. Joseph. The planes were already in the Gulf area, having flown guardmen from Colorado to Gulfport, Miss., to help in the hurricane relief efforts.
The two C-130s arrived at Kansas City's downtown airport about 11 p.m., with a convoy of ambulances waiting to transport the patients. Some were taken to the main Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, others to Children's Mercy South in suburban Overland Park, Kan.
"Just to get to help the children really felt good," said Maj. Ron Douglas of the Air Guard unit. "We were willing to work longer if
we had to."
McCormally said the patients range in age from a few months to 20 years. He said they were hospitalized for everything from asthma to leukemia to kidney dialysis, with conditions ranging from fair to critical.
"Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid anymore," said Arnita Lister of Shreveport, La., who arrived with her 3-year-old son, to whom she donated a kidney in February.
McCormally said the New Orleans hospital sent about 40 children to a hospital in Houston, with Kansas City getting the next largest number and others going to locations that included Birmingham, Ala., Little Rock, Ark., and Memphis, Tenn.
McCormally said about 30 parents and siblings who accompanied the patients to Kansas City stayed overnight at the hospital and hospital social workers were helping arrange for longer-term accommodations.
▼ HURRICANE KATRINA
Superdome refugees evacuate to Houston
BY MARY FOSTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — At the front of the line, the weary refugees waded through ankle-deep water, grabbed a bottle of water from state troopers and happily hopped on buses that would deliver them from the horrendous conditions of the Superdome.
At the back end of the line, people jammed against police barricades in the rain. Refugees passed out and had to be lifted hand-over headover to medics. Pets were not allowed on the bus, and when a police officer confiscated a little boy's dog, the child cried until he vomited. "Snowball, Snowball," he cried.
The scene played out yesterday as the plodding procession out of
the Superdome entered its second day—an evacuation that became more complicated as thousands more storm victims showed up at the arena.
Capt. John Pollard of the Texas Air Force National Guard said 20,000 people were in the dome when the evacuation efforts began. By yesterday afternoon, the number had swelled to about 30,000. Pollard said people poured into the Superdome because they believe it's the best place to get a ride out of town.
The refugees began arriving yesterday at the Astrodome in Houston, where they got a shower, a hot meal and a cool place to sleep.
"I would rather have been in jail," Janice Jones said in obvious relief at being out of the dome. "I've been in there seven days and
I haven't had a bath. They treated us like animals. Everybody is scared."
Miranda Jones, her daughter, was standing next to her, carrying her father's ashes — the only thing they were able to save from her house before Hurricane Katrina blasted New Orleans.
An angry Terry Ebbert, head of New Orleans' emergency operations, watched the slow exodus from the Superdome and said the Federal Emergency Management Agency response was inadequate.
The chaos at the nearby New Orleans Convention Center was considerably more hostile than the Superdome, with few options for refugees to leave the scene.
"This is a national disgrace. FEMA has been here three days, yet there is no command and control." Ebbert said.
After a day in line in the heat without water or food, dozens of people fell out. Medics poured water on them, fanned them, and tried to cool them down.
One woman, lying on a canvas cot, was in convulsions. Medics doused her with water and slapped her, trying to bring her around.
Meanwhile the crowd kept growing as stranded people heard about the buses and headed to the dome.
By early afternoon, a line of people a half-mile long snaked from the Superdome through the nearby Hyatt Regency Hotel, then to where buses waited.
State troopers, making every effort to be cheerful, handed out bottles of water and tried to keep families and groups together.

The Oread is a historic area and the kind of features that make an area distinctive are important," Carol von Tersch, Oread resident. said.
"People that live in the neighborhood don't want to see those characteristics lost."
While von Tersch does not necessarily welcome the distinctive style created by the newly remodeled houses, the houses are now restored and up-to-date.
She said renovating the houses was better than the alternative of simply demolishing them, though.
"I'm pleased to see the owners and investors are really investing to fix the houses up. I think that's a very positive thing," she said.

CULTURE SHOCK
Embrace the F-word
Many men I have encountered are confused, uneasy or misinformed on the significance of the "f-word." This is unsurprising because of the many conflicting connotations of feminism spread throughout society.
The televangelist Pat Robertson erroneously and hilariously defines feminism as "a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
I tragically went on a first—and last—date with a chauvinist who had an equally flawed definition. After I used feminist as an adjective to describe myself he replied, "You can't be one of those "femi-nazis." Feminists are bra-burning-men-hating women who are too ugly to get laid, so they stop shaving and become lesbians."
It means women are liberated from male dominance. It means women are treated as political and intellectual equals. It means they are as free as men to express themselves socially. They are not confined to stereotypical roles. It means women have control over their bodies. It means women unite in sisterhood, abandoning pettiness. It means both genders have equal economic opportunities.
Check please! Feminism encompasses a wide range of philosophies, movements and theories, but this is what it signifies to me.
Feminism in the context of relationships implies that males should not have authority over
.
SARAH STACY

females and vice versa.Men should not exploit the labor of their partners, but instead they should have equal responsibility with the children and household duties.
Feminism is mutually beneficial to us all. As a woman, I am not trapped by being economically reliant on a male. Thus when seeking a relationship, I can take my time, choose characteristics I want and base it on love without the complication of materialistic motivators. The male is rewarded by a having a more fulfilling reciprocal relationship in which he is mentally stimulated.
These attitudes stem from Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women, published in 1792. She argues that because women instruct the children and are companions of the husband, they should be informed. Now fellas, I suspect you don't want a helpless dim-witted wife raising your kids. Feminism remains a work in progress.
Primarily, women have yet to break through the infamous glass ceiling. In 2005, 46.5 percent of America's workers are women, and 92 percent of senior managers are men, as reported by The Economist on July 23. In addition, female managers earn only 72 percent of their male counterparts' earnings. Women
with children often suffer further because careers add responsibilities without relief from their motherly duties and household burdens.
Another obstacle for the future of feminism is the division among feminists themselves. Some view Britney Spears' exploitation of the male sex drive as empowering. I lean more toward the side that thinks such actions set feminism back, as it is perceived as a shallow manipulation of men. The same as what many men have historically done to women. This proliferating type of media figure glamorizes a life of endless frivolity, and it insinuates to young women that it is essential to use sexuality and beauty to succeed instead of one's brainpower, talent and that forgotten ingredient: integrity.
Few viewpoints parallel the democratic nature of the feminist perspective. Both genders need to continue to move feminism forward. One way is to be involved in organizations such as NOW (National Organization for Women) or the KU chapter of FU (Feminists United).
And males, if you feel uncomfortable with the label "feminist," proudly call yourself a "gender egalitarian."

Gas can be small price to pay
So far with the rising gasoline prices, I've heard many people comment that it's President George Bush's fault because he opted to fight with Iraq, instead of making it the next political bed buddy. First off, gas prices rise because the natural rhythm of the concept "supply and demand." People, besides the Iraqi and Saudi pipelines, there are other factors that have caused the price of gasoline and crude oil to rise. First, inflation. Has anyone been paying attention to the impact on trade with our South American oil buddies? Second, military conflict. Sure, the war isn't helping things. Third, weather. These hurricanes have been destroying wells, refineries and pipelines making it nearly impossible to transport this liquid gold to us consumers.
The higher gas prices have not stopped KU students from continuing to do what they do best: consume. Every time you shop, eat, go to hang out with friends or come to school, you are using your supply of gasoline. During this week, the gas prices throughout town have jumped up from the range of 2.55 to 2.59 per gallon for regular gas to about $3. Now many of you studs out there might be saying, "Well, I paid more than 2.59 for my gas!" But think, does your car really need supreme gas or can your Honda take the regular?

SARA GARLICK
opinion@kansan.com
If your car isn't a sports car, or has an engine that requires you to tank up on high-priced, high-quality gasoline, then chalk up the high bills to your own stupidity. Maybe most of you haven't had parents who harp about the rationing of gas back in the '70s and '80s. They used to spend hours in line just to fill their cars up. But that's only if they had a license plate that ended in an odd or even number, depending on the day. You're lucky! I've read all of the gas-price stories and how everyone thought that we were going to go into another crisis because people couldn't afford to pay for the gas to commute to work. This is where programs such as car pooling and public transportation kick in.
To quote Donna Huline, the director of parking, "The parking
For students complaining about the rise, people are still driving more, which spends more money than taking alternative means of transportation such as the bus, car pool, bike, or walking. Hell, everyone can benefit from walking to class at least once.
hss ceramity seem just as full as a typical beginning of a fall semester." Needless to say, making a big deal about the rise in gas prices is a waste of time. You don't have to panic and stock up your gas supply in your basement like it's the end of the world. Prices will go down eventually. They have in the past, and they will rise again in the future. Simple laws of economics have just come into play. Finite supply combined with a rise in demand will yield higher prices. If Americans want gas prices to go down, while satisfying the same demand, then let's go and tap that great Alaskan pipeline!

PILLOW TALK
Not everyone is as willing to spend as much time in Lawrence sex stores as myself. While I now only make it into stores like Priscilla's and Naughty But Nice every few months, there was a time that as soon as I walked in, whoever was behind the counter came over to chat (mind you this is because I had already been there at least once that week).
For those of you who are too uncomfortable in sex stores and do not enjoy spending extra money for that "unmarked" package to arrive in the mail, I have another option - buying products from mainstream product retailers. With a little imagination, these improvised "toys" can be just as enjoyable.
I spent some time this weekend wandering through some stores with a close friend. Normally, we would spend little, if any time in a home improvement retailer, but for you, my readers, we spent about an hour. We walked up and down the aisles examining merchandise, only guessing at its intended use. There were some things that looked like fun, but upon careful inspection, did not seem safe, so I warn you to never risk injury. What we did find could indeed provide pleasurable.

even restraints. While pharmaceuticals normally have little to provide, there are options for personal hygiene. While not for all, enema kits can be both arousing and useful for anal encounters to follow. For obvious reasons there is often a humiliation factor if fecal material is left on one's penis, finger or toy. Not only will an emema remove this embarrassing factor, but will help allow the body to relax and open for more enjoyable anal sex.
The pet store was stalked with a different sort of fun. There were collars and leashes for a domatrix session (remember to leave enough room for a comfortable fit), along with bowls intended to be left on the floor. Again the vanilla pleasure is not forgotten, for I could not believe the number of teaser toys. While these are sold for cat and ferret play, many have feathers or soft plush dangling from the end.
There is but one last item for me to mention today, the massager. While many forms exist, some are quite similar if not identical to vibrators sold in erotic shops. The example I will use mention is the finer massager.
This product slips over one's finger and is marketed to help release tension in the face and eye region. The fact is, there is no difference between this and what you would pay as much as three times for if marketed as a vibrator. It is small, easy to store and use and most importantly will make one's clitoris feel all tingly inside.
The last store to mention is the discount department retailer. While this all-purpose store allows for all sorts of imagination, I will suggest but a few items. The fabric in the crafts section can make a cheap blindfold, gag and

Broncos string Cards along
Final preseason match-up will test Arizona
BY BOB BAUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEMPE, Ariz. — If the preseason meant anything, the matchup between the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals on Friday night would be a virtual Super Bowl. They are the only NFL teams without a loss.
Instead, it's just a fourth and final exhibition game, a matchup mostly of reserves battling to make the final roster. The Broncos plan to sit all of their starters, including Jake Plummer, who returns to Sun Devil Stadium, where he starred in college and quarterbacked the Cardinals for six seasons.
Bradlee Van Pelt, who won the No. 2 quarterback job in training camp, will start for
Denver, and will be replaced at some point by Matt Mauck.
Among those who will play is defensive end Courtney Brown, the former No. 1 draft pick out of Penn State trying to make the Broncos' roster after an injury-riddled career. He has been out for 3 1/2 weeks with a dislocated elbow.
"I'm not really sure yet," coach Mike Shanahan said when asked how much he would use Brown in the game. "We'll get a better feel before the game and decide how many plays he can play."
Arizona coach Dennis Green is taking the game a bit more seriously than his Denver counterpart. He will go with the first team offense and defense for a series or two. That probably will include Pro Bowl defensive end Bertrand Berry, whose practice was limited on Wednesday because of a sore lower back.
"I'm an 'all hands on deck' type guy," Green said. "All of
the guys who can play, in my opinion, should play."
The preseason has shown that the Arizona offense needs the work. Struggles along the line have put the pressure on Kurt Warner, and the team's running game has not been consistent. Any success won't be diminished by the fact the Cardinals are going against Denver's second unit, Warner said.
The Denver starters should be thankful they won't have to play, because the temperature probably will be at least 100 degrees at kickoff.
"The bottom line is to try to get into as much of a rhythm as we can before that first game," he said. "We haven't hit on all cylinders yet. We want to try to get that accomplished and at least be going into the regular season with the confidence that I think this team should have."
"I think it's a tough one," Green said of the game. "It's going to be extremely hot. We
have a limited number of players available, which means that some players are going to get an awful lot of football. You hope that you don't have any injuries."
One of the roster fights for Arizona is for the No. 3 running back spot behind J.J. Arrington and Marcel Shipp. J.R. Redmond had that position locked up, but dislocated a shoulder in last week's victory at Oakland and has been placed on injured reserve, meaning he is out for the season.
James Jackson and Damien Anderson are contending for the job. Both could make the team if Green decides not to keep both of his fullbacks: Obafemi Ayanbadejo and James Hodgins.
Adam Haayer is listed as the starter at center, where the team has had three players go down with injuries in camp. Shawn Lynch, signed just last week, is listed as No. 2 and is expected to play considerably.

Jayhawks tackle Owls in opener
Offense key to Kansas' success
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The season opener is finally here for the Kansas Jayhawks as they take on the Florida Atlantic Owls at 6 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
The Jayhawks look to improve on a 4-7 campaign from last year in which they lost five games by six points or less and the offense struggled.
The Jayhawks will face three unheralded teams before they begin conference play, and they will look to work out the offensive struggles that they encountered last season.
The Kansas defense kept the Jayhawks in nearly every game last season and will be led by a trio of senior linebackers. Seniors Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman look to contain Florida Atlantic quarterback Danny Embick.
Junior cornerback Charles Gordon will attempt to shutdown Florida Atlantic's passing game. Gordon had an NCAA-leading seven interceptions last season.
The Jayhawks offense will likely determine how successful the team is this season. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said the offense was vastly improved from last season.
The offense will begin with junior quarterback Adam Barmann and senior running back Clark Green. Green appears to be quicker than he was last year after shedding some unneeded muscle. Green, who ranks eighth on the Kansas career rushing list, is expected to receive the majority of the carries tomorrow, with junior Jon Cornish and freshman Gary Green II backing him up.
Barmann was not named as starter until this week, after he beat senior Brian Luke and freshman Kerry Meier for the position.
Mangino said that it was possible that Luke or Meier could see playing time.
Barmann started eight games last season until an injury ended his season. Mangino has said throughout training camp that Barmann has improved in nearly every facet of the game.
Kansas will be the favorite to win tomorrow, as Florida Atlantic is building a program that will begin its first season of Division I-A competition.

The Kansas offense averaged more than 300 yards of total offense last season, but consistently let the team's solid defense down. The team's running attack will be the first way of monitoring the offense's success, as it averaged just 2.7 yards per carry last year. If senior running back Clark Green can get some solid runs early in the game, quarterback Adam Barmann should be able to throw the ball downfield and the offense will be successful. Until the team takes the field tomorrow, it's difficult to know how improved this offense really is.
DEFENSE
KU
FLORIDA ATLANTIC
KU KU KU KU
The Owl offense will have difficulty moving the ball downfield against one of the strongest defensive units in the Big 12 Conference. The Kansas defense has continued to improve since last season, where Reid, Kane and Floodman orchestrated one of the most drastic defensive unit improvements in the conference. The Jayhawks were ranked fifth in total defense. The team added depth at linebacker, as well as on the defensive line. Not only are the linebackers returning, but so is All-American cornerback Charles Gordon. The junior led the nation in interceptions last year with seven, and is expected to have just as large an impact this season.
KU KU KU
SPECIAL TEAMS
KU
KU KU
It's tough to know how successful the Jayhawks will be kicking field goals this season. Sophomore Scott Webb handled the short field goal opportunities as well as the PAT's last season, but he lacks the leg to kick long field goals. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker may kick longer field goals this season with his booming leg. Tucker averaged 40.1 yards per punt last season and was impressive during the team's practices in August. The team will have a talented group of punt and kick returners in Gordon, junior Jon Cornish and freshman Gary Green II. Gordon is a threat to take it deep and Cornish and Green's speeds could make things interesting on kickoff returns.
COACHES
KU KU KU
The Owls averaged just less than 400 yards a game in total offense last season and scored nearly 25 points a game. But the team must replace its starting quarterback from a season ago, along with its three top receivers. The team's leading rusher is also gone, and the starting running back for this season racked up only 84 yards last season. If quarterback Danny Embick can put up similar numbers to last year's starter Jared Allen, the Owls could put a lot of points on the board.

Coach Mark Mangino may not have the record (12-24) that reflects a successful program, but the Jayhawks are clearly more competitive than they were before Mangino arrived at Kansas. Mangino took the Jayhawks, in his second season, to a bowl game and has a talented group of players that may make a second trip possible this year.

The strength of the Owls team will be their secondary. Willie Hughley will lead the charge and will most likely be responsible for covering Kansas' top receiver Mark Simmons. Charles Gordon will not be the only Gordon on the field tomorrow, as Florida Atlantic's Lawrence Gordon is also a returning starting cornerback. The linebacking unit will be anchored by Shomari Earls, who led the team in tackling last season. If Kansas' offense struggles early, look for the Owls to carry the momentum and stop the Jayhawks a few times.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Z
Returning for the Owls on special teams is punter Mike Brown. Brown averaged almost 42 yards a punt last season and had seven touchbacks. Brown is the only returning starter on special teams, as the Owls must replace their kicker from a year ago, along with both their punt returner and kick returner. The likely candidate for punt returns will be Troy Pindell, and for kick returns it could be Casey McGahee. Sophomore Daniel Kennard will most likely handle the kicking duties.

This one is a no-brainer. Florida Atlantic coach Howard Schnellenberger has 126 career victories and captured a national championship at Miami in 1983. He has coached under Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Shula. He also has two years experience in the NFL and is in the midst of building the Owls program.

Owls not so easily defeated
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTS WRITER
After posting back-to-back winning seasons, the Florida Atlantic Owls will look to steal a game from Kansas in their opener.
The Owls know all about season-opening upsets; they traveled to Hawaii last season and defeated the Rainbows 35-28 in overtime.
The team will continue to play a hard schedule this season, as it will face Oklahoma State, Minnesota and Louisville.
Senior quarterback Danny Embick will lead the Owls into Memorial Stadium. Embick is a transfer from West Virginia and played in 11 of the team's 12 games last season, but didn't start any of them.
Embick's best game as an Owl came in 2005, when he was 8-for-9 for 132 yards and a touchdown against Northern Colorado.
Embick's targets at wide receiver are bringing something new to the game. Casey McGahee will be one of the starting wide receivers. He is making the transition from defensive back to wide receiver. The other starting wide receiver is Frantz Simeon, who took a redshirt last season. He will see his first collegiate action tomorrow.
The running game is also inexperienced, as sophomore B.J. Manley will handle most of the carries. Manley rushed for only 83 yards last season on 13 carries.
On defense, the Owls most experienced and talented unit is their secondary. Senior cornerback Willie Hughley is the team's most experienced player, as he racked up 43 total tackles and six interceptions. Hughley has 14 interceptions in his career, ranking him first on the Owls all-time list.
Senior cornerback Lawrence Gordon is also in the secondary. Gordon had 63 tackles last year and registered one sack. Gordon and Hughley will be assigned to Kansas' top two receivers, senior Mark Simmons and junior Brian Murph.
Senior linebacker Shomari Earls will return for the Owls as well after a solid 2004 season. He had 81 tackles and five sacks.
Florida Atlantic will be an underdog against Kansas, but with as much big-game experience as the team has, it could be a closer game than what most Kansas fans are expecting.

Florida Atlantic coach known for improvements
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
During his 20 seasons in college football, Howard Schnellenberger has won 126 games at programs such as Miami, Louisville and Oklahoma. Now, Schnellenberger coaches at Florida Atlantic and will be across the field from Kansas football coach Mark Mangino tomorrow.
"I got my schooling from those guys," Schnellenberger said. "They have all been very helpful in the growth of my career. Now, I hope I can pass some of that on to the coaches that are working for me."
Schnellenberger has coached with some of the most successful coaches in football history, including Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Shula. He said working with coaches like them has made him the coach he is today.
Schellenberger
Schnellenberger arrived
at Florida Atlantic in time for the 2001 season. It was the first season Florida Atlantic had a football team, and its record was 4-6. After another losing season in 2002, the team went 11-3 in 2003 and 9-3 last season.
Schnellenberger
"It was just something I couldn't turn down," Schnellenberger said. "It was close to where I was living, and just a great place for me to finish my career. I want to do big things for this university."
Now in his fifth season, Schnellenberger said the Florida Atlantic job was appealing because he could build the program from scratch.
Schnellenberger has experience rebuilding programs; he turned around both the Miami and Louisville programs.
It was something I couldn't turn down. It was close to where I was living and just a great place to finish my career."

Howard Schnellenberger Florida Atlantic coach
In his first season at Miami, the team went 5-6 and was close to being eliminated by the university. Four seasons later Miami went on to win a national championship under Schnellenberger, defeating Nebraska in the Orange Bowl 31-30.
After he left Miami, Schellenberger returned to his hometown, Louisville, Ky., to rebuild that program. Again,
EXPERIENCE
One season later, Louisville went 8-3, and only two years after that, Louisville went 10-1-1 and defeated Alabama in the Fiesta Bowl.
during his first three seasons at Louisville, he compiled an 8-24 record.
"I learned to rebuild from the other coaches I have coached with," Schnellenberger said. "In Shula's third season with the Dolphins, he went undefeated and won the Super Bowl. Bear Bryant rebuilt the program at Alabama. I just took it in from those guys."
Schnellenberger's coaching career
1973-1974: Baltimore Colts
1979-1983: Miami Hurricanes
1985-1994: Louisville Cardinals
1995: Oklahoma Sooners
2001-present: Florida Atlantic
Schnellenberger also spent two years as head coach for the Baltimore Colts in the NFL, and was an assistant coach for the Miami Dolphins when they won the Super Bowl in 1972.
During his weekly press conference, Mangino said Schnellenberger had one of the best backgrounds of any college coach.
Career Collegiate record: 126-98-3
Career NFL record: 4-13
Now, in Florida Atlantic's first season in Division I, Sellenn-

berger said he hoped the team could continue to be successful and build on the success from the past two seasons.
The Owls spent the season as a Division I-AA school last season, and now that they are Division I, they received an increase to 85 scholarships. The increase allowed Schnellenberger to recruit more athletes than in years past.
Even though Florida Atlantic has begun to win games and has started building a program, Sch-
nellenberger said he knew there was still a lot of work to do before the rebuilding process was complete.
"We're moving this program ahead, and we expect big things," Schnellenberger said. "We are in the process of building a 40,000-person dome stadium and are traveling to play some of the best teams in the country. That is unheard for a program like us."

Time to pick some games
O' BROTHER
KELLIIS ROBINETT AND TRAVIS ROBINETT
SPORT@RANSAN.COM
Kellis: The first week of college football is upon us, and that means it's time to pick some games. I just wish we had some better opening games. Out of all these match-ups only half are debatable. The other five are just boring.
Travis: We just have to get those games out of the way for now. In the coming weeks we'll see some better match-ups. At least the chancellor is picking with us; he should make things pretty interesting.
TCU.
Travis: There's no question about that. I'm taking Texas A&M over Clemson. The Aggies are from the tougher conference, and they have senior quarterback Reggie McNeal, who's ready to lead his team to victory.
Kellis: Indeed. I'm going to start off taking Colorado State. Colorado is a slow-starting team and this rivalry game is always a good one.
Travis: Colorado is riding high after being picked to win the Big 12 North by the media. They're not going to blow it on their home field.
Kellis: I agree with that. It's going to be a lot closer than most people think, though. It's never easy to play in Death Valley.
Kellis: I've got Oklahoma beating
Travis: Texas A&M will win by at least 10 points.
Kellis: Clemson for sure covers the spread. Now here's a tough one: Baylor at SMU.
Travis: They both suck, but I'm taking Baylor for one reason only. I went to an SMU game against Louisiana Tech last year and there were only about 500 students there. The Mustangs were losing so bad that I left at halftime.
Kellis: That's funny. I'm using another SMU game to pick against Baylor. I remember Kansas walking into SMU a few years back and getting absolutely smoked. The Bears are probably the better team, but I say the Mustangs win because they'll be fired up knowing this is
their best chance at a victory.
Travis: It's Baylor's best shot too, though.
Kellis: Touché.
Travis: Next game up is Florida Atlantic at Kansas. Duh, Jayhawks win easily.
Kellis: I'd hope that's who you're taking. Here's another doozy. Louisiana-Lafayette at Texas.
Travis: Longhorns.
Kellis: By a wide margin. Let's go to a better game. Notre Dame at Pittsburgh.
Travis: I'm taking Pittsburgh, because Notre Dame has a new coach, Charlie Weis, and the Irish are on the road. It's the new coach's first game in a tough road environment, against a semi-rival. Pittsburgh isn't bad and I say the Irish go down.
Kellis: That new coach is coming off a Super Bowl victory, though. Weis hasn't been there all that long, but I'm picking him to lead Notre Dame back to respectability and leave Pittsburgh with a victory.
Travis: He won't get his players
to buy into his system that quickly.
Kellis: His players will listen to those Super Bowl rings.
Travis: I really wanted to pick Boise State in the next game, but Georgia is at home and they're from a tougher conference. I went with the bigger name team here, but Boise State could end up making a fool out of me.
Kellis: Boise State is the best of all the mid-major teams, and the Broncos will give the Bulldogs all they can handle. But I too went with Georgia because of their home-field advantage.
Travis: I wish I could pick against Missouri in its game with Arkansas State, but I can't. Maybe at a later date.
Kellis: The real question is how many people show up at Arrowhead Stadium to watch this lame match-up.

Teams start season at home

KANSAS SPORTSWRITER
The Kansas cross country team will officially start its season at 9 a.m. Saturday in the Bob Timmons Invitational.
The meet will take place at the Rim Farm Farm in Lawrence.
Last season, the men's team placed first out of nine schools, while the women's team placed second out of eight teams. Kansas placed six out of the top 10 players in last season's invitational. On the women's side, three runners finished in the top 10.
"As our athletes know what to expect more and prepare better, hopefully the team will place better in their meets," Kansas cross country coach Stanley Redwine said.
This year, the men will run an 8K and the women will run a 5K. This will translate into five miles for the men and over three miles for the women.
Redwine enters his sixth season with the Jayhawks. He will return 12 men and eight women runners from last year. The men look to build on a fourth place finish in the Big 12 Conference Championship last season. The women finished tenth last season in the conference championship.

Junior runner Tyler Kelly said although Kansas was familiar with the territory, the hills could present challenges.
"We know where the tough spots are and know how to prepare for them in the race," senior runner Angela Pichardo said.
"Right before the four mile mark is the killer because it's so late in the race," Kelly said. "That is the make or break point for some people, just because it's real steep."
Winners of the race are determined on a point scoring system. The first four finishers for each team will be designated a certain amount of points, but the lower the score, the better. For example, if a runner came in first place overall, that runner would receive one point. If another runner for the same team finished fourth, he or she would receive four

Green won't play tonight in St. Louis
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Doctors have placed a stent in an artery in Trent Green's lower left leg and put the Kansas City quarterback on blood-thinners in an effort to restore full circulation.
Green, who underwent four surgeries in his left knee six years ago, will not play in tonight's exhibition game at St. Louis but does plan to be ready for the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Jets.
It may be related to the succession of surgeries Green required after his knee injury in the 1999 preseason. But
Doctors were not able to say with certainty what caused the condition that led to numbness and lack of feeling in the leg and foot and caused him to come out of last Saturday's game against Seattle in the first quarter.
"By Wednesday, I'll be able to do everything full-go and be ready to go with no complications or problems for the opener," he said yesterday. "That was one of the things I wanted to find out."
doctors are not pointing to football contact as the cause
"That's the hard part for me is not knowing how it happened," said Green, who underwent the surgery on Tuesday. "I really haven't taken any sort of hits or uncomfortable twists or turns or anything like that that could have done it."
Anything that keeps Green on the sideline could be disastrous for the Chiefs. His backup, Todd Collins, has a hand injury and probably won't be ready by the season opener.

Jayhawks hope to blunt Razorbacks
Francis said he didn't feel the need to keep his players out for a long practice in yesterday's heat and instead watched video and addressed issues from the Missouri State game.
"It's more important for these girls to try and recover to get some of the soreness out," Francis said.
Shutting out the Missouri State Bears on Wednesday created a sigh of relief for the soccer team.

With its first victory of the season, Kansas, 1-1-1, will take on Arkansas, 1-1-0, at 5 p.m. at the Jawhaw Soccer Complex.
The Jayhawks have not gotten much rest; this will mark their fourth game in the past seven days.
"Winning is a habit, just like losing is a habit." Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "We need to get in the habit of winning."
They finished up a weekend opener last Sunday with a loss at Oklahoma. Arkansas opened its season with a 5-1 victory against Tulsa last Friday.
The Razorbacks, on the other hand, are well-rested.
In three prior meetings, Kansas holds a 1-1-1 all-time record versus Arkansas, with a loss in 1996, a tie in 1997 and a victory in 2002.
The 2002 match up starred senior forward Caroline Smith.
Smith, who has a goal in each game played this season, dropped two goals on Arkansas in the last meeting, including the game winner.
Sophomore midfielder Alison Harter led the Arkansas offensive charge last weekend, tallying two goals and an assist.
Arkansas soccer coach Gordon Henderson, now in his second year, will look to break the tie the two teams have accumulated.
With three goals this season, Smith already holds the KU all-time scoring record. Now, she is just an assist away from being second on that all-time list.
"Caroline's always going to be a danger when she gets around the goal," Francis said. "She's taking the chances that she has."
Senior forward Jessica Smith will likely be in the starting lineup after an apparent hamstring problem that sidelined her for most of the Missouri State game.
"She had a little injury that wasn't worth risking," Francis said.
"We know what we have to do on Friday," Bush said. "We'll be ready."
Freshman forward Jessica Bush knocked in her career first against Missouri State on Wednesday. Francis noted that all of his freshmen were only getting better.
Kansas is 8-5-1 against the SEC Conference.

Frankenstein inspires teammates

The Jayhawk softball team will look to senior infielder Destiny Frankenstein for her leadership skills this season.

Frankenstein, a Broken Arrow, Okla., native, was the cocaptain of last year's team. She said she would be looked upon this year as a leader.
"It's a hard position to be in, but at the same time, I just love my teammates so much because they put that much trust in me," Frankenstein said. "It's a good feeling."
As she enters her final season in a Jayhawk uniform, Frankenstein is expected to contribute to the team more than ever.
"You can set records all day long and you can be all that you think you can be, but being a good person and leaving behind an example is what I would really like to do," Frankenstein said.
Iared Soares/KANSAN
As the softball season approaches, most of the talk has been about senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein. Frankenstein has been named to numerous all-conference and all-region teams, and has put together impressive stats in previous seasons.
Frankenstein said her presence as a teammate was what was truly important.
"Her bat is amazing and it gets better every year," senior infielder Nettie Fierros said.
Frankenstein's appreciation for strong team unity was the reason she picked the Kansas in the first place.
Frankenstein was a first team, all-region selection last season, as well as an All-Big 12 First Team selection.
"Kansas seemed to be a good fit with me," she said. "I like the
atmosphere and the team is really more of a family. It's not like a bunch of girls that just get together to plav."
Frankenstein led the Jayhawks last year in batting average and her 14 home runs broke the previous Kansas single-season record of 12.
The Jayhawks finished last season with a 31-24 record, and made their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1999.
"As long as the team moves forward," she said. "Just as long as the team learns something and next year they're better than they were this year."
She did her work and helped others. She helped the team relax, to where the focus isn't just on winning, Fierros said.
Fierros said Frankenstein was vocal and led by example.

Frankenstein said the lessons learned on the softball field have helped her in other aspects of life.
"Softball has made me more mentally tough," Frankenstein said. "There's stuff you have to make yourself do on a daily basis even though you don't necessarily want to do it."
The Jayhawks hope that returning seven starters from last season will bring success to the team.
Frankenstein said after the season ended and she walked off the field, she hoped people would remember her as a team player.
"I want people not to remember my name, but just the kind of person I was — that I was a true teammate," she said.

"I don't know why we relaxed," he said. "We didn't need to be out there for those extra 25 minutes or so."
Bechard said he was happy with the team's overall performance. One problem for the Jayhawks early in the season was serving, but with the exception of game two, the squad was better.
Kansas missed a serve and UVSC took advantage and won 31-29.
"For 70 percent of the match, we were really good," he said. "We served really well, and I thought we responded nicely after the second game."

Bechard expressed concern with the second game slip because tonight's opponent, BYU. only has one match on its plate. Kansas will play Montana State in the afternoon before its tilt with BYU, which could cause some fatigue issues.
Correa said she wasn't worried about being tired.
Kansas will face Montana State at 1 p.m. today. The match against BYU will start at 8 p.m.

Kansas' schedule light

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino couldn't ask for a better non-conference schedule than the one his team faces this year.
The early season home games against Florida Atlantic, Appalachian State and Louisiana Tech are just challenging enough to test Kansas, but also easy enough for fans to expect three victories.
"It's just the way we want it," Mangino said. "We want to have a chance to play teams that, if we play smart and hard football, we'll have an opportunity to play and do well."

Florida Atlantic transitions to Division I football this year, but has won 20 games during the last two seasons, including road victories against bowl teams Hawaii and North Texas. So, although the Owls probably can't keep up with the Jayhawks for four quarters, they won't be intimidated.
The same is true with Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs, of the Western Athletic Conference, have knocked off their share of big conference teams in the past—Fresno State last year and Michigan State two years ago — but with the game being played in Lawrence, the Jayhawks should cruise to victory.

Some will argue that scheduling these three relative "no name" teams suggests weakness and doesn't prepare a team for conference play. That may be the case for a program with legitimate Bowl Championship Series hopes, but right now the Jayhawks need victories more than they need stiff competition.
If you'll remember the non-conference games of Kansas' recent past, it's easy to see why scheduling tougher opponents is a bad idea. Even when the Jayhawks have been the least bit bold, they've been burned.
Northwestern, traditionally the worst football team in the Big 10 Conference, defeated Kansas during both of the last two seasons. Three years ago, Kansas lost to UNLV and Bowling Green.
Kansas State, where Mangino once coached as an assistant, used the formula of scheduling weak non-conference opponents to climb out of the national cellar in the 1980s and '90s. Each year, the Wildcats secured three victories going into conference play and eventually improved enough to consistently win the number of games required for bowl eligibility.
"Right now I think our program is going at the pace where it needs to be," Mangino said. "We're not in a position here where we need to bring in three BCS teams and play them."
Going back even further, UCLA crushed Kansas by 24 in 2001, and the year before, SMU embarrassed Kansas 31-17.
The problem with the Wildcats scheduling was that, once they became good, they continued playing patsies before conference play.
If the same scheduling system works at Kansas, and the Jayhawks turn into a national power, don't expect Mangino to keep avoiding highly ranked opponents.
I
"We won't sit in this position forever," Mangino said. "For our program to keep getting better and better, there are steps that need to be taken. When we get to a point where we feel comfortable to take that next step, we will, and we'll play another BCS team."

Waters said she and her sister decided to help some people they knew in Louisiana. Twenty eight people, including five children, traveled from Louisiana to Kansas City, Mo., to stay with Waters and her extended family. The refugees will stay in five separate houses.
Waters is taking donations and said she has received plenty of clothing, but she still needs food and money. She said she might sit in front of the Kansas Union sometime soon to ask for donations and try to get the word out.
Waters said the victims have nothing because they came to Kansas City after the hurricane hit. She said eight people arrived by bus on Friday, and the rest came Sunday night.
"I guess they will start over, stay here and get jobs," Waters said. "Nobody has any plans right now."

Higherger said he wished the idea was his, but he credited Lawrence resident Sara St. John for the inspiration. St. John called Higherger and said she thought if every community made an effort to adopt a family, it could help a lot.
Highberger agreed, and he decided to call on Lawrence for any kind of help it could offer. Landlords, shoe stores, job placement agencies, hotels and dozens of citizens have all come forward, he said.
Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger announced that the city of Lawrence was planning to host at least one family displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
A family has already been chosen, Highberger said. He said that family, D.J. and Ursula Markey, should arrive in Lawrence sometime early next week.
The Markeys are veterans of the civil rights movement in New Orleans, and they worked toward the disability rights movement in Louisiana, said Rud Turnbull, co-director of the Beach Center on Disability of the University of Kansas.
"They got out with two changes of underclothes and the shirts on their backs, and they were lucky," Turnbull said.

BATON ROUGE, La. — Like estranged in-laws at a holiday gathering, President Bush and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco kept their distance as both toured a relief center for storm victims Monday. At their next stop, the Republican president kissed the Democratic governor on the cheek, but it wasn't clear whether they had made up.
Bush, Louisiana governor avoid each other during tour
State and federal officials are all facing public criticism for a slow response to the crisis.
In front of the cameras during Bush's visit to the Gulf Coast states on Monday, the president and Blanco said little to each other.
"I know I don't need to make any other introduction other than Mr. President", Blanco said tersely, turning the microphone over to Bush after praising emergency management officials during a stop with Bush at an emergency operations center.

'Transporter' takes No.1 slot after holiday weekend
"Transporter 2" took over the No.1 slot from "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", which slipped to second place with $16.6 million after two weekends on top, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The followup's solid pay day over the four-day Labor Day weekend was more than twice the haul for "The Transporter," which took in $9.1 million in its three-day opening weekend in October 2002.
LOS ANGELES — Jason Statham delivered a bigger box-office package this time, with his action sequel "Transporter 2" taking in $20.25 million to debut as the top weekend movie.

Clashes with visiting fans, bands prompt stadium's seating switch
Student seats give new view
The Associated Press

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A new season of Kansas football kicked off Saturday, and students had a different view of the game than in past years.
Student seating at Memorial Stadium was shifted north of the 50 yard line, while reserved seats and Williams Fund members occupy the former student seats south of midfield.
Student seats were switched after the visiting team seating was moved to the southeast corner of the stadium. Last year, the visiting section was in the north bowl, associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said.
In 2003, when the student and visiting sections were next to each other, the Missouri marching band was pelted with small plastic footballs by students during the game and after its halftime show.
"We switched the sections to avoid any possible trouble between students and visitors," Marchiony said.
Student seating is now located in sections 34 through 59 and the upper
There are eight sections of reserved seats and Williams Fund members separating the student and visiting sections.
sections of 40 and 41. The marching band will be in sections 32 and 33.
Students' reactions to the seating change were mixed.
"I think they're better, since they're closer to midfield," Jeremy Kliewer, Overland Park junior, said. "They seem like better seats to me."
However, he did notice one downside to the move of the seats.
"I couldn't hear the band at all," Kliewer said. "We couldn't get into any of the chants or yells all game."
Marching band members noted difficulty with their new seats in the north bowl.
"It was hard to see when they were playing on the opposite end," Andrew Fyler, Lawrence freshman and band member said. "I had to watch most of the game on the video board."
One caller to The University Daily Kansan's Free for All line said he had waited in line to enter the stadium for an extended period of time because there was only one entrance available to students.

Last year, students sat in the lower parts of sections 40 and 41, as well as 42-47 at home games. This year, the students have moved to sections 34 through 39 and the upper parts of 40 and 41. Students can only enter through a gate on the northeast corner.
Because of the line, another gate
was opened, but several students said people were allowed to enter the stadium without having their

McAllister served with Roberts on a federal rules committee during the past year and praised Bush's decision to nominate him for Chief Justice.
"I don't know his stance on every issue specifically, but I don't really care, because he has great credentials and great experience," he said. "He's a very thoughtful, level-headed person. I think he'll be a great Chief Justice."
Richard Levy, professor of law, said that because Roberts is thought to be conservative, like Rehnquist, his vote may not dramatically change
the dynamic of the Court.
But Levy said it was unfair to assume how Roberts would vote.
"It's important to keep in mind that there are nine justices, and they're not preset votes that you can plug into a case and predict what the outcome will be," he said.
Francis Heller, professor emeritus of law and political science, warned not to assume that Roberts would gain the necessary votes from the Senate to be confirmed as Chief Justice. He said he expected heated debates during the hearings.
"The Supreme Court is so crucial to the life of this nation that when filling these two positions — regardless of who you put in there — people are going to say, 'This isn't the man or woman we want,' or 'This is who we want,'" he said.
Cathe Decena, Lansing first-year law student, said that whomever Bush nominated next and regardless of whether Roberts is confirmed, the nation would miss Rehnquist's contributions to the Court.
"The law is a living thing," Decena said. "And he had the chance to see it evolve for years and be a huge part of that evolution."
"It's important to keep in mind that there are nine justices, and they're not preset votes that you can plug into a case and predict what the outcome will be."

The KU Bookstores will be donating 10 percent of pre-tax sales from today through Friday to relief efforts, said Tim Norris, KU Bookstores director.
Gietschier said she'd like to see $2,000 in donations from the collection buckets in Lewis and Templin.
Norris said the money would go to a fund to buy textbooks for Gulf Coast transfer students.
Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director, said the Athletic Department's donation was made on the behalf of student athletes and coaches.
He said all money collected would go to the American Red Cross.
Tau Kappa Epsilon, 1111 W. 11th Street, raised more than $500 by selling parking spaces, said Joe Lantz, Tula senior and philanthropy chairman of the fraternity.
"Having recently conducted a retreat in New Orleans, I am personally aware of the scope of the devastation, and our chapter is trying to help in any way we can," said Alex Plassmeyer, Stillwater junior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Once the Markeys arrive, Springhill Suites, at the intersection of 6th and New Hampshire streets, will offer a free room for one week.
Mayor Highberger called the hotel on the morning of Sept. 1.
"I did not hesitate one bit," said Michael Moore, general manager of Springhill Suites. "I didn't even look to see if we were sold out."
Highberger said that today he and the Ballard Community Service Center would decide which house, out of the many offered by various land-lords, would best fit the Markey's needs.
There is a possibility for the city to host more families, depending on the amount of resources available. Highberger said.
To make a donation to Monique Waters, call her at 816-729-5857. Cash donations for the Markeys should go through the Douglas County Community Foundation, while people who want to volunteer should contact the Ballard Community Service Center, Highberger said.

Max Falkenstien began his 60th and final season Saturday night broadcasting Kansas athletics.
But the 81-year-old said he did not want to take away all the attention from the athletic programs.
Falkenstien also hosted television shows for more than 30 years with basketball and football coaches, including Larry Brown, Don Fambrough, Pepper Rogers and Rov Williams.
Falkenstien has served as the play-by-play announcer for Jayhawk athletics for 39 years and assumed his current role as color commentator in September 1984.
"I want this year to be like all other seasons, without any undue emphasis on me," he said.
He and current play-by-play announcer, Bob Davis, have worked together since the fall of 1984.
As a Lawrence High School graduate, Falkenstien was the first person inducted into the school's Hall of Honor. He has also been inducted into both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. In 2001, The Sporting News named Falkenstien "the best radio personality in the country."
Jared Soares/KANSAN
"As we travel around the Big 12, it is obvious how much everyone respects Max and how most all media members know and admire Max," said David Lawrence, Jayhawk Radio Network sideline reporter.
Even though Falkenstien will retire at the end of the season, Kansas athletics director Lew Perkins doesn't expect Falkenstien to leave the athletics program for good.
"We always want Max to be a part of our KU Athletics family," Perkins said. "He does not plan to just fade away and that's just fine with us."
"I'll worry about it when the time comes this spring," Falkenstien said.
Kevin Harlan, KU alumnus and NFL and NBA play-by-play announcer, had been rumored to be Falkenstein's possible replacement. That rumor, however, was quickly dismissed by Jim Marchchlony. associate athletics director
"He's a terrific announcer, but he does play-by-play, and we're looking for a color commentator." Marchiony said.
Marchiony said that the athletics department had not begun the search for a replacement and that any talk would be too premature.
As for Falkenstien, he does not know exactly what the future holds for him.
For now, Falkenstien is content to continue talking about what he knows best: sports.
Harlan could not be reached for comment.
"I feel very optimistic about the football team, which is much improved from over a year ago," Falkenstien said. "And in basketball we have a recruiting class that is unequaled in recent years. It will be a good year."

University of Kansas students looking for an organic alternative for their hamburgers will soon have a place to dine.
Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., is scheduled to open Sept. 12 and will serve hamburgers and hot dogs made with meat supplied primarily by local farmers who raise animals without using antibiotics or hormones.

do to it are possibly making us sick." Brown said.
Brown is a KU graduate and Lawrence native. She worked as an occupational therapist but always catered for friends and family on the side. She has dreamt of opening her own restaurant for the past eight years, and, after attending Natural Gourmet Cookery School in New York City in 2003, she decided to go through with it.
"I really believe that what we eat affects our health. The way foods are raised and what we

"I'm going to shoot for get-
Brown said. Jordan Ryan, Olathe freshman, said she thought the restaurant would attract Lawrence residents who were concerned with the way animals are raised.
"Most people I know who don't eat meat is for reasons that pertain to the treatment. I would think that people who don't normally eat hamburgers would eat here," Ryan said.
Garen Stacey, Manhattan freshman, said he was not concerned with the treatment of meat as much as the price of the food.
"Can't beat the Wendy's 99 cents menu," Stacey said.
cents menu. Saucyyay.
Most of the hamburgers Local Burger will serve will cost about $5. The restaurant will also have hot dogs, salads, soups, smoothies and tofu. The tofu will come from Central Soy Foods in Lawrence. Brown said she was not a vegetarian herself, but she is picky about the meat that she does eat.
"I only eat meats that I think use humane and practical methods of raising them. I want that animal to have a good life," Brown said.
Scott Hartegan, general manager of Mass. Street Deli, 719 Massachusetts St., said that he did not foresee Local Burger's presence as a threat to business.
"I would say that it won't affect us terribly much because that's more of a health-food restaurant. I can see it affecting more of the health-friendly restaurants like Zen Zero," Hartegan said.

LET'S GOETT IT ON
Going through the emotions
It is now official: The anti-war movement (at least at the University) has lost any sense of reason and is now just going through the motions. If you don't believe me, just look at last Thursday's protest on Wescroe Beach.
marks KS
Let me begin by saying that the protesters I talked to were courteous and politely answered all of my questions, although I'm sure after they read this they'll wish they hadn't. After talking to a few of them, I'm not sure they even knew exactly why they were there.
I asked a woman encouraging students to sign a petition if the protesters wanted recruitment off campus because they didn't think that students at the university could make their own decisions about joining the military. She answered that the protesters didn't believe this, but were only exercising their free speech rights against the military. I then asked if the military didn't have the same free speech protections. The answer I got was that the military had the same First Amendment rights, but that didn't stop the protesters from voicing their opinions. At this point, you should hear the sound of a needle scratching

off a record in your head. In case you don't, let's recap. At least one protester — probably many more
— was exercising her free speech to try to prevent another organization from exercising its, even though the protester freely admitted that the military had free speech rights to be recruiting on campus so that students could make their own decisions about joining the military. But it gets better.
The second sign at the protest read, "We will not fight your wars." This sign also bothered me a bit, so I asked another protester why he didn't support those who did fight the wars, our troops. He replied that he did and things went downhill from there.
Now I admit, I'm not majoring in philosophy and I haven't taken any logic courses, but to me, a sign like that implies that everyone who has chosen to fight for his country has made the wrong
decision. I made this argument and also pointed out that it's awfully hard to say legitimately that you support people when you adamantly believe that they have made a horrible decision and are ruining our country and another one. The response I got bordered on incoherent and the phrase, "You obviously just don't understand," was repeated often.
I realize that some of the protesters on Thursday were probably as sincere as could be and really believed in what they were doing. But, this does not excuse the fact that their cause is lacking in reason and intellectual honesty. After attending the protest, I am more convinced than ever that the main impetus behind the anti-war movement on campus has little to do with actual policies and a lot to do with a general disdain for the military and partisan politics. If the protesters really want to change minds, maybe next time they will come up with some coherent reasons why people should take them seriously.

Instead of competing with other women, instead of boosting our egos by finding "faws" and promoting self-loathing, we should preach acceptance. There is no reason why a woman should hate her hips or J-Lo shouldn't love her ass. We should accept who we are and how we were made.
Heidi Klum's who had nice bodies naturally were their own standards of acceptance and rejection. One that, just as the hatred for the curves, freckles and wrinkles that our bodies may display, needs to be abolished as well. This movement toward more realistic standards does not mean that we need to negate the women who have been "lucky" enough to set that bar so high. I guarantee they have their own stories to tell.

So sue me. I was watching America's top model today. I used to be vocal about my hatred for television, but have begun, out of boredom, to force my opinions on this tool that can be used for various learning objectives, especially when trying to understand certain ideas and convey them in a manner that 13-year-old girls could comprehend.
I always pick the underdog.
You know; The girl who everyone thinks has an eating disorder or the one who used to be "fat." And you know what they mean by "bat" right? Size eight and up. Come on, ladies, Tyra Banks (the host of the show) is a size eight and she is a Victoria Secret model.
During the summer, I found out that I was one of two women from
"It would help if you didn't wear such tight clothing." Translation: No one likes to see a "fat girl" embrace her "fat." Of course I made a point to tell him that these little diatribes were not a positive influence on my self-esteem. A silence followed, and then an excuse. "But, you're strong; you can't use that as an excuse."
Growing up in a world of tall, tan, blonde and beautiful people, we all suffer from this "seen but unseen illness." I learned both to envy and to despise these media figure-heads. I hated my freckles; I would sneak into tanning beds trying to make them merge. I would dye my hair, trying to make it blonde. I would work out, work out, eat a bagel and work out some more. I was hopped up on diet pills and Prozac and I didn't even bother to question why.

Dealing with break-ups tricky
A relationship that lasts long enough to be considered a relationship doesn't just disappear overnight. Those feelings can last for a long time, especially if only one person wanted the relationship to end.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend, and you know what word I hate? "Ex-boyfriend." As in: "There's your ex-boyfriend's car" or "Your ex-boyfriend likes that song."
PATRICK ROSS
opinion@kansan.com
There should be a transition word that encompasses the hope that you'll get back together along with the relief of making the right decision combined with the fervent wish that he won't be the first to have sex with someone else. "Ex-boyfriend" doesn't cut it. It has a finality and a scary quality that says "I don't have the ability to make relationships last," or "Now I have to start all over again." How about "post-relationship co-sufferant"?
Whatever you call it, break-ups always suck no matter when they happen. And whether we're the break-ee or the break-en, break-ups have an effect on our lives that only matters of the heart can have. A break-up can be consuming or it can be liberating — or both — and chances are, almost all of us will
deal with a break-up while in college.
It's hard to look objectively at a relationship and say "This isn't delivering what I want." It's also unfair to the other person to remain in a relationship for fear of hurting the person even though you no longer want to be with them. The pain will always be worse later.
Most of us are in our late teens and early-to-mid twenties. We don't always have tons of experience with dating and one of the biggest mistakes we tend to make is staying in a relationship when it's time to move on.
You may lose friends in the "divorce," so be prepared. When two people part, some things can't be shared or split down the middle. As someone who has been friends with a broken-up couple after its break-up, take it from me that it's almost impossible to treat each one equitably.
A new semester brings with it many new opportunities. New
classes, new jobs, new friends and new digs all combine to open a world of positive changes in our lives as we return to school or come for the first time. Sometimes painful choices have to be made. I'll call it a fall cleaning of sorts.
The most important thing to remember when dealing with an "ex" situation is that sometimes our emotions get the best of you. Don't call him at three o'clock in the morning and yell. Don't drunk dial him for a booty call. Don't assume that he feels the same heart-wrenching pain or profound relief that you feel. And don't ever convince yourself that you can't move on or feel love again. Also: E-mail can be dangerous, choose wisely.
Conventional college wisdom
Conventional college wisdom — which is to say I heard this somewhere — tells us that it takes as long to get over someone as the relationship lasted. I guess I'm facing a long, hard nine months. But, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens and for all of you out there who are recently single or will be soon, take heart. There's nothing that can take your mind off an "ex" quite like too much homework.

Bush mulls justice options
BY TERENCE HUNT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Seizing a historic opportunity to reshape the Supreme Court, President Bush swiftly chose conservative John Roberts as chief justice Monday and weighed how to fill another vacancy that could push the nation's highest court to the right on issues from abortion to affirmative action.
Like Rehnquist, Roberts is deeply conservative. He was nominated in July to succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who angered conservatives with her tiebreaking votes on contentious issues like abortion restrictions, campaign finance limits, discrimination laws, and religion.
Roberts' nomination, just two days after the death of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, raised fears among Democrats about a rightward shift as Bush fills two openings on the nine-member court. Democrats have been frustrated by Roberts' popularity and said the Senate must take a closer look at his new nomination.
"Replacing two justices at the same time will have an enormous impact on the court and on the lives and liberties of all Americans for decades," said Ralph Neas, president of the liberal advocacy group People for the American Way, which opposes Roberts' nomination.
"The stakes are higher and the Senate's advice and consent responsibility is even more important," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., expressed concerns about the court's balance.
The Roberts-for-Rehnquist nomination would not affect the balance, but Bush could force an ideological shift by replacing O'Connor with a reliably conservative vote. O'Connor has offered to remain on the bench until her successor is named, and Bush called her Monday to say he would move quickly to find her replacement as well. He is not expected to name a new O'Connor successor this week.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said Roberts was "one of the most well qualified candidates to come before the Senate." He said he still expects Roberts to be confirmed before the new court session begins Oct. 3.
After turning twice to Roberts, Bush faces increasing pressure to name a woman or a minority. Some conservatives fretted Bush would pick Attorney General Alberto Gonzales whose views on abortion and other issues have raised their suspicions.
"The president promised in two campaigns to nominate justices who will faithfully uphold the text and principles of the Constitution," said Wendy Long, counsel for the conservative Judicial Confirmation Network. "One would expect the president to nominate more exceptional judicial conservatives like Judge Roberts for as many vacancies as occur."
Polished and plainspoken, Roberts had been on a likely track to be confirmed as an associate justice and it appeared Bush turned to him for the top job to avoid an acrimonious fight at a volatile moment. Bush was on the defensive about the administration's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina and his poll ratings had fallen to their lowest point of his presidency.
"For the past two months members of the United States Senate and the American people have learned about the career and character of Judge Roberts," Bush said. "They like what they see."
But Brad Berenson, a former Bush White House lawyer, said, "My own view is that Judge Gonzales would be a more conservative justice" than O'Connor.
Other possible replacements include federal courts of appeals judges Edith Clement, Edith Hollan Jones and Emilio Garza. Also mentioned are judges J. Michael Luttig, Samuel A. Alito Jr., James Harvie Wilkinson III and Michael McConnell, and former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, lawyer Miguel Estrada and former deputy attorney general Larry Thompson.

Barmann falters Luke steps up in home opener
BY RYAN COLIAIanni
rcoliaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Instin O'Neal/KANSAN
Senior running back Clark Greene leaps on the back of senior quarterback Brian Luke in celebration of Luke's second-half touchdown pass. The Jayhawks beat the Owls 30-19 Saturday at Memorial Stadium. To the right is Florida Atlantic defensive back Greg Joseph.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino didn't get the quarterback performance he wanted in Kansas' season opener against Florida Atlantic, and he's still not sure who the starting quarterback will be for next weekend's game.
Junior quarterback Adam Barmann lasted just more than a quarter before Mangino replaced him with senior Brian Luke for the remainder of the contest.
Iared Soares/KANSAN
After the Jayhawks' 30-19 victory against the Owls, Mangino said he was prepared to use two quarterbacks in each game from now on.
"We will rotate," he said. "Our objective is to win and have a successful offense. I think it is a positive. We have two guys who can play. If we have to play two, we will play two every week."
On the team's first drive of the game Barmann threw on all three plays, but he didn't complete a pass, and the team was forced to punt.
Overall, Barmann was 5-11 for 56 yards with a rushing touchdown. He threw one interception when he greatly overthrew junior comback Charles Gordon.
Mangino said he intended to use Luke during the game and had envisioned Luke would get his opportunity during the second quarter. With 9:33 remaining in the half, Mangino put Luke in the game.

It was a beautiful Friday night outside Memorial Stadium the perfect place to crash after a long night at the bars.
Just ask Jesse Plous. He spent the whole night camped
out in a tent in the grass outside the stadium.
Plous is one of the three members of "The Blue Man" group, a company of fans who paint themselves blue for every Kansas home football and softball game. Because of Plous' overnight endeavor, members of group had prime front row seats
Normally, Plous, New York City senior, and his group members, Josh Bailey, Lawrence senior, and Will Paulson, Wichita senior, paint their entire bodies blue, leaving room for "K-U-1" to be painted on their stomachs
"We do it because we love Kansas football." Plous said.
in the student section.
Bailey is the traditional bearer of the K, while Paulson reserves rights to the U. Plous has the exclamation point. But on Saturday afternoon, Plous and Bailey found themselves among a slightly larger group than usual, despite missing Paulson. They had enough stomachs to spell "I-A-Y-H-A-W-K-S!"
"Normally it's just us. We've been doing this for two years," Bailey said. "But we have more people this time. We pretty much take anyone we can find."
SEE FANS ON PAGE 8B
"I didn't get a lot of sleep," Plous said. "But it was worth it because I was first in line to get in the stadium."
Plous doesn't really remember falling asleep late Monday morning, but he does remember a friend of the group bringing him doughnuts at 1:30 a.m. And he definitely remembers Bailey waking him up at 7 a.m. on Saturday.

Rush cleared by NCAA to play
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Add another high-profile recruit to the Jayhawks' 2005 recruiting class. Brandon Rush, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Kansas City, Mo., will definitely wear a Kansas uniform this year. Rush joins Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs and Julian Wright in one of the best recruiting classes of 2005.
After more than a month of questions regarding Rush's academic paperwork — he attended four different high schools — the NCAA Clearinghouse cleared Rush for an athletic scholarship late Friday afternoon.
"Brandon and his family rightfully have been waiting for positive feedback from the NCAA Clearinghouse concerning his eligibility," coach Bill Self said. "We received information from
Rush
the Clearinghouse today, and Brandon is eligible to pursue a college career this academic year."
Rush initially declared for the NCAA draft but later withdrew his name. He has been on campus for the past two weeks and enrolled in classes at the University last week. Rush said he waited on a definite answer from the Clearinghouse before he began attending classes and working out with the team.
"I'm very happy about coming to school and getting this out of the way." Rush said.
The long wait left Rush and Self frustrated that Rush could

Ask anyone and they'll tell you that Brian Luke has greatly improved since he was first introduced to fans two years ago in a blowout loss at Kansas State.
Resilient and improved, Brian Luke is the 'Hawks best bet
Luke filled in for Bill Whittemore, who left the game with an injury. Luke came in and didn't exactly wow fans in a 42-6 defeat against the Wildcats.
The injury to Whittemore and Luke's performance led to the introduction of junior quarterback Adam Barmann the next week at Texas A&M.
Ironically, two years later, it's the very same Brian Luke who gives Kansas the best chance at being successful. That was apparent after Luke replaced Barmann in the second quarter of the 30-19 season opening victory over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.

JIMMY CHAVEZ

After Barmann struggled in the first quarter, Luke stepped in and showed poise and confidence.
Now, some would tell you he completed fewer than half the
passes he attempted. They may not tell you that receivers flatout dropped several passes, two of which would have been sure touchdowns.
Despite the statistics, Luke is starting to show the same command that Whittemore, who was the best quarterback during the Mark Mangino era, showed as leader.
This started last year against Texas when Luke was forced into action after injuries sidelined the other three quarterbacks ahead of him. Fans were uncertain about the Jayhawks hopes for winning, but Luke stepped up and nearly helped upset the then No. 6-
ranked Longhorns.
The next week, Luke won Mangino his first Big 12 Conference road game with an improved and poised performance at Missouri.
Ask Garv Pinkle.
This year, Luke has seemed to pick up where he left off, and if he can stay healthy, he could lead the Jayhawks further than they've been a long while.
The Jayhawks don't need someone to be a gunslinger, but instead, someone more like a field general that will manage the
On offense, Kansas must rely on a consistent leader that the team will rely on.

If Kansas is serious about the Big 12 Championship chase, it needs leadership at quarterback that reflects that which is on defense, the kind that shows initiative and perseverance.
In 2000, Dilfer lead the Baltimore Ravens to a Super Bowl victory with a confident and superb defense and by playing mistake-free football. Unfortunately, it looks like Ray Lewis won't be lining up on defense this Saturday for Kansas, but there are some pretty good players who will.
game and be a rock for the team.
Ask Trent Differ
this by telling Mangino after spring practice that he wanted to be considered for the starting job,after it was assumed he would be the backup quarterback.
He has gotten to this point by putting in yeoman's work at improving his skills and earning the respect of coaches, teammates and fans — 2003 couldn't be farther away.
Now it shows, and this Saturday could further prove that Kansas has found itself a quarterback. But don't ask me.
Ask Brian Luke.

Long-time wide receiver ends prolific football career
DENVER — The greatest receiver of all time realized he would be no better than the fourth receiver for the Denver Broncos. It was no way for Jerry Rice to end his career, so he called it quits after 20 sensational seasons.
"I never thought I'd ever see this day," Rice said Monday during an emotional news conference at Broncos team headquarters.
The 42-year-old receiver, a first-round draft pick out of tiny Mississippi Valley State in 1985, leaves the field with 38 NFL records, including the most careerceptions (1,548), yards receiving (22,895) and touchdowns receiving (197).
He was a slave to details, a master of routerunning precision, a good guy off the field and a workout junkie both in season and out.
Rice told the players he was retiring during a short meeting held after his public announcement. The Broncos gave him a standing ovation.
"Not many people that own all the records spend that type of commitment and give that type of commitment in the offseason," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "That's why, in my opinion, he's the greatest player to ever play the game."
An avid golf player who was often spotted playing at the resort hotel where he stayed while in Denver, Rice said he was "looking forward to the next phase of my life."
"There are opportunities out there. I'll approach them like I did football, with determination and pride", he said.

CROSS COUNTRY
The Kansas men's and women's cross country teams started the season with two first place finishes in the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm.
TALK TO US
The men's team won its 8K race with 20 points overall. Scoring was based on the positions the first five runners of the team crossed the finish line. If a runner came in first, for example, his or her team was awarded one point.
The women finished with a total of 56 points, which earned them overall first place honors in the 5K race.
If the next closest runner came in eighth overall, the team was awarded eight more points for a total of nine. In the meet, the lower the score, the better the result. Kansas had four of the top five runners on the men's team. The team was led by sophomore Colby Wissel. Junior runner Tyler Kelly finished second and senior runner Eric Sloan placed third. Senior runner Joshy Madatib rounded out the race with a fifth place finish for the Jayhawks.

Kansas loses match against Brigham Young
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas volleyball dropped its first match of the season Friday night in the finale of the Brigham Young/ Utah Valley State Challenge in Provo, Utah.
BYU defeated Kansas 3-1 in the second of two matches of the day for the Jayhawks. Kansas fell to a 4-1 record, while BYU improved to 3-0.
"They put more pressure on us with their serve than we did on them," he said. "They had us back on our heels."
The Jayhawks committed six serving miscues in game one, which they lost 30-27. Kansas wasted a .343 hitting percentage as well.
The Jayhawks bounced back to take game two 30-28. With the game tied at 23, Kansas ran off seven of the next 12 points. Junior outside hitter Jana Correa recorded three kills in the latter portion of the game.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team was not able to overcome inaccuracy in serving, while BYU was efficient and aggressive.
The Jayhawks could not carry that momentum into game three. The Cougars jumped out to an early lead and never looked back on their way to a 30-22 victory. Kansas hit a meager .139 on the attack.
BYU sealed the match in game four. After Kansas rallied to tie the match at 24, BYU sprinted to a 30-28 victory. BYUs junior middle blocker Lindsay Hartscock led the Cougars to victory with a game-high 20 kills. Kansas was
paced by Correa, who tallied 14.
Kansas sophomore opposite hitter/setter Emily Brown said her team needed a match against a tough team like BYU to be prepared for the tough matches that lie ahead.
"It itakes something like this for us to focus," Brown said. "This was our first true challenge. It will help us refocus for the upcoming schedule and the Big 12."
Bechard said the team would have to recover quickly from the setback.
"We have no choice but to bounce back," Bechard said. "We have a huge week next week, and then we have the Big 12 schedule coming up."
One bright spot for Kansas was that it fought back after falling behind early in games. Even so, the Jayhawks could not close out those
games.
"Against Montana State we fought back too," Brown said. "We are having a hard time finishing games right now."
Kansas played Montana State in an earlier match on Friday. In that match, Kansas was too much for its counterparts from Bozeman, Mont. Senior middle blocker Josi Lima had a huge match in the Jayhawks 3-1 victory. She recorded 21 kills, nine digs and five blocks to lead the Jayhawks. Junior libero Jamie Mathewson had a career-high 19 digs in defense. Four Jayhawks finished in double figures in kills.
Kansas plays at home tonight against Saint Louis University. Match time is set for 7 p.m.

KU freshman forward Jessica Bush makes the game-winning goal against Arkansas Friday, while Arkansas freshman midfielder Abbey Wilburn looks on. Kansas defeated Arkansas 1-0 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, improving its record to 2-1-1.
Jayhawks win with lone goal
A slow second half followed an even slower first half, but Kansas (2-1-1) defeated Arkansas (2-1-0), 1-0, breaking their 1-1-1 overall series tie.
"The first half wasn't great but in the second half, I thought we played pretty well," Francis said. "I thought we played as well as we did this weekend — but we also won the game."

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
One goal was all the Jayhawks needed to turn a Wednesday night victory into a Friday night winning streak.
"Sometimes it works better on a field with more space, which is why I don't do it here sometimes," Karfonta said.
As to why that wasn't a more regular part of each game, Karfonta said that there were only certain situations in which flipthrows were needed.
The first half had few highlights, except for one rarely-seen throw-in.
The second half pace was faster, and Kansas out-shot Arkansas 14-3 in the last 45 minutes of play.
At the 64 minute mark, the
Junior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo passed Bush the ball, and she scored from 15 yards out.
With five minutes remaining in the opening half, senior forward Kimberly Karfonta gave a perfect flip-throw that sailed at least as far as any Kansas corner kick this season.
"I guess it's something unique that I do," Karfonta said.
0-0 tie was broken with a score from freshman forward Jessica Bush.
Bush said, "We definitely played a lot better than we did on Wednesday. I wish the score would've been a little more, but it's all right.
"It was a great goal. She finished it really well," Francis said.
"The intensity was there, and it was good for us to get another win," she said.
Bush's lone score was the only in the game, despite outshooting the Lady 'Backs 22-5.
There were enough opportunu-
Regardless of Friday's win, Francis said that his team still needed to work on playing a full game to their capability, not just a half.
"We've played well and not won. Then, we've played bad and won. So is it possible for us to play well and win?" Francis said. He said he looked forward to the team's practices before the next game.
nities," Francis said. "We probably should've buried a couple more to put the game beyond doubt. But at the end of the day, we'll take the win for sure."

Fans liked the idea of the screens but were not in favor of how they were used. Instead of "Go Jayhawks" on the screens, several fans suggested they should feature game scores and stats, as they had at the half.

Transfer shines in home opener
Sophomore Jeff Foster proves an asset in Kansas victory against Florida Atlantic
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITSPORTWRI
Jeff Foster hasn't played a competitive football game since 2002, but that didn't stop him from making two of the biggest plays of the game Saturday night against Florida Atlantic.
In the third quarter of the game, senior quarterback Brian Luke connected with Foster on a 17-yard touchdown that gave Kansas a lead it would not give back.
"It was a great read by Brian Luke," Foster said. "They were playing cover two, and he placed it right in the hole. It was one of the best feelings I've had in my life."
Although Kansas coach Mark Mangino was not surprised by
Foster's performance, his name wasn't even on the pre-game depth chart. There were at least six wide receivers listed ahead of him.
"He earned a right to be out there," Mangino said. "He is in the rotation, so we'll count on him as we go. He made some big plays, and we're excited he's going to help us out."
Mangino said Foster was impressive in practice and dedicated himself to the summer workout program.
"He has a real want-to kind of attitude," Mangino said. "He wants to prove he can play at the Division I level at the University of Kansas, and we are convinced he can."
Foster, a sophomore wide receiver, transferred to Kansas after spending a season at the University of Northern Iowa. During the 2003 season, Foster took a redshirt and played on the scout team.
After the season with Northern Iowa, Foster looked into other schools where he could play football, and Kansas became a natural fit last fall.
"I have a lot of family history at KU," Foster said. "All the coaches were really accepting of me transferring, so it worked out."
Foster walked on to the football team and had to sit out a year after transferring. He played on the offensive scout team and was offensive scout player of the week before the Iowa State game last October.
The two-year break from games was well worth it to Foster with his performance on Saturday.
"He earned a right to be out there. He is in the rotation, so we'll count on him as we go."
Mark Mangino Kansas football coach
Aside from his touchdown catch, Foster made another big play for the Jawahaws. Early in the fourth quarter, on third down and eight, Luke connected with Foster for a critical first down. This play led to a 32-yard goal field by sophomore kicker Scott Webb and gave Kansas a 9-point lead.
Freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford, who took a redshirt last season, was one of the receivers listed ahead of Foster on the depth chart, but never saw the field Saturday. Another wide receiver listed ahead of Foster was freshman Dexton Fields, who also took a redshirt last season. Fields played but failed to make a catch.
Foster was all smiles after the game but admitted there would be one thing better then his first career touchdown.
"I think a Big 12 Championship would be better." Foster said.
After his performance in the first game, Foster will now have an opportunity to contribute toward capturing that goal.

Coaches are pleased with first use of instant replay
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — Nebraska coach Bill Callahan was one of the staunchest proponents of instant replay in the Big 12. He still is, even after five plays were reviewed in the Cornhuskers' season opener.
There were eight Big 12 home games in which instant replay was used for the first time over the weekend. There were seven reviews, the
"They were possession calls and boundary calls and things of that nature. I think it was well-done," Callahan said Monday during the Big 12 coaches conference call. "The calls were well represented and logically thought out before they pulled the trigger and asked for a replay. What occurred was valid, was logistical."
five at Nebraska and one each in the Texas and Oklahoma games.
Two calls were overturned Saturday in the 25-7 victory over Maine. An interception by Maine's Daren Stone was called good after initially ruled an incomplete pass, and replay officials also overturned a reception by Nebraska's Terrence Nunn.
Officials at the Oklahoma game used a replay to determine that a Sooners punt didn't break the plane of the end zone.
That call put TCU inside the 1
rather than the 20 to start a possession, but the Frogs still won 17-10 in the biggest upset of the opening weekend.
"Even if it goes against us, I told (the official), I thought it was fair," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
Under the Big 12 instant replay rule, coaches can't ask for a review.
Stoops was surprised that another play — in which he thought the Sooners had caused a fumble
— wasn't looked at by officials.
The seven reviews in the Big 12 home games took an average of just 1 minute, 45 seconds each.
As long as the calls are right, the coaches said they would go with the system.
"We're all in an agreement," Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said. "Anything we can do to make sure we get calls right and give players the opportunity win football games, I'm all for it."

Opener
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Luke went 11-24 for 121 yards and a touchdown. Several of his passes were dropped, including four consecutive passes in the third quarter that, had they been caught, would have resulted in touchdowns. Luke, though, was not pleased with his performance.
"There is definitely area for improvement, I'll tell you that," Luke said. "I am happy with the win but definitely have to come back next week and watch the tape. There are a lot of areas to improve."
Mangino said that both quarterbacks did well in some areas and that he was pleased with parts of Luke's performance.
"It took him a little while, but he got into a rhythm," Mangino said. "He recognized all the blitzes. He made a couple of the throws that he probably would like to have back. For the most part he got into the rhythm, and we continued to go with him."
After the game, Mangino would not say that the quarterback job was a controversy. Both quarterbacks had the luxury of the offensive line protecting well, which
gave them time to throw, and it also opened up a running game that gained 201 yards.
"I am really pleased with the offensive line play for the first game," Mangino said. "We ran the ball well, protected extremely well."
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier, believed to be a challenger for the backup job, was not dressed for Saturday's game. Mangino said that Meier had a condition that was caught by an advance medical screening that all new players have.
"The problem is being addressed. It is being taken care
of. He has some more things that need to be done, some procedural work," Mangino said. "It is a situation where we are very fortunate that we caught something that may have gone undetected had we not had some advance medical screening for new players here."
Mangino said Meier would be fine but gave no timetable as to when he would return to the playing field. He said he would definitely be out this week. Mangino would not elaborate as to what Meier's condition was.
Record Setting
Charles Gordon's return at the end of the second quarter made him the team's all-time punt return leader. Gordon now has 648 career return yards.

In an effort to serve readers better, the Kansan has chosen a new provider for crossword and horoscope material.

Let us know what you think of the new content and design by writing us an email at editor@kansan.com.
ENTERTAINMENT 98 Degrees star runs for mayor
CINCINNATI — While pop singer Justin Jeffre was speaking at a rally in his bid for mayor, dozens of young women were backstage trying to talk to his 98 Degrees bandmate Nick Lachey.
Lachey, husband of actress Jessica Simpson, made a pitch on stage for Jeffre's candidacy as the group reunited for a rare appearance together.
"It's a very important time for Cincinnati," Lachey said. "Don't take it lightly. This is a big deal — and this guy knows what he's talking about."
After Saturday's rally, the band, which hasn't appeared together in concert in four years, moved to a nightclub for a $10-a-person Jeffre for Mayor fundraiser.
Jeffre, 32, is one of seven candidates in the nonpartisan Sept. 13 mayoral primary; the two top vote-getters will move on to a November run-off.

HOROSCOPES
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Sept. 6, 2005: Listen to your
instincts concerning money,
and you will see a lot of money
head in your direction. Whether
you discipline yourself and
hold on to some of this surplus
is your choice. You could hit a
major money peak this year. Take
advantage of this opportunity.
Communication flourishes from
the winter on. You will meet
people easily. Your family and
your domestic life become more
important than in previous years.
If you are single, you will enjoy
many people and might not be
ready to commit for a while. If
you are attached, work on your fi-
nances together. Schedule some
more time together out and about.
★ ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★ Others seem to be ready, willing and able to pitch in. You accomplish a lot and gain new insight into those around you. Be willing to break past your normal thought patterns, and you will ultimately gain. Walk in another's shoes.
★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ You put in a stellar performance right now, causing others to step back and applaud, or at least admire your abilities.
You get the job done. A partner revises his or her attitude toward you. This might be a continuing process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You might want to
explain a lot, but somehow actions mean more than words. Let your creativity surge, and you have a way of enchanting others. Be more observant about those around you. You will learn a lot.
♥ CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ If you can stay home, do,
even if it means working from
there. You will feel much better
and more creative in this setting
right now. You become a trouble-
shooter and handle a crisis well.
Curb spending.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Loosen up and drop your shield. Good news will head in your direction if you put yourself out there and reach out to others. Your creativity surges, no
matter where you direct it. There are no problems, only solutions.
♦ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Finally, money seems to be heading toward you. Of course, this isn't a money tree.
So although you might feel wealthy today, don't think this will be your status forever. You could get a pay raise. Your family and your domestic life are changing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★ For once, you can do no wrong. Loosen up and enjoy yourself. You might find a different style of communicating to be more effective. Change plans and adjust to others. You have nothing to lose.
♦ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★ Know when to back off.
You have more information than others do, but you cannot share all the facts right now. Use caution with money. Consider revising your budget or portfolio. Be willing to do your own research.
Your instincts are right-on.
- SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★★ As the result of your flexibility, you come out a winner. Others appreciate the way you can transform a situation through your own acumen and perceptions. Meetings serve your purposes.
- CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Others turn to you for advice. You intuitively know what
42
1
PH
CHINA
to say. Perhaps the best way of teaching is through example. You seem to be able to follow through on work and other commitments.
❖ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ Stretch your wings and look at a situation with renewed eyes. A different perspective helps you resolve a problem.
You understand what is going on with a friend. Perhaps you need to do some changing, too.
- PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★★ A partner might be more helpful than you thought possible. If you are attached, he or she might be getting a pay raise. You appreciate what this person does for your life. Do more together in public.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 2005
Stadium doesn't rival that of the number of students lined up on the walls of Allen Fieldhouse days before a home basketball game. But on Saturday, the newly relocated student section at Memorial Stadium was packed with cheering fans.
Bailey took over their place in line that morning while Plous went home to shower. He didn't want all of the time his friend invested in their place in line to be lost.
At about 9 a.m. Saturday some members of "The 700 Club" arrived at Memorial Stadium to take their place in line. The members of the club painted M-A-N-G-I-N-O across their chests.
"I am betting on complete annihilation of the competition," Loebr said. "We are going all the way this season."
"We had lots of war paint, and we wanted to represent our love for Mangino," said Jared Loehr,
With the same idea as "The Blue Man" group, members of "The 700 Club" took turns holding their place in line. One person would stand in line for about an hour while the other members would go tailgate. Then a different person would replace the person in line, letting him tailgate with the others.
The plan turned out well, and the club also took front row seats in the student section, just a few sections away from the blue men.

HOUSING
University goes keyless
Jayhawker Towers use card-swipers
BY LOUS MORA
Imora@kansan.com
KANSAST WRIFFER
The days of lock and key are finished at the Jayhawker Towers.
Residents in towers B, C and D now make their way through the main entrances of the buildings by swiping their KUIDs through an electronic lock system. By the end of the month, tower A also will use the system.
Student housing officials made the move to save money on constantly making new keys for the complex and to provide
a more efficient and simpler system for staff and added security for tower residents.
This is the first lock card system used 24 hours a day on exterior doors at a University living environment.
While the new system will save the department money in the long run, it's more important to provide extra security, said Vince Avila, associate director for housing shop maintenance.
When residents checked into the towers their KUID was
"I think it's going to improve security. You can't be too safe," he said.
scanned and programmed to allow them access to only one of the four towers.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the system made replacing a lost key much easier for the staff.
When students lost their keys in the past, the staff would rekey the entire building and provide the towers with a new main entrance key.
The move will also save the department money. The towers required re-keying every two years costing the department $350 to create a key for all 800 residents. Once tower A is
A lost KUID is electronically eliminated from the system, rendering it useless until another card is issued.
equipped, the system will cost $8,800 for 11 locks.
Ashok Daruru, Sau Paulo, Brazil, senior, said the system made it easier for residents to go in and out.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
"It's actually more convenient than carrying the keys. I'll just carry my wallet with the card in it." he said.
At Iowa State, students at selected housing have had to use a swipe card system for exterior doors since 1998 and newly renovated halls have moved toward the system, said Ginny Arthur, associate director for residence life.
While the system has been just put in place, the impact of the lock system is yet to be seen, said Matt Beckendorf, Jayhawker Towers complex director.
While only the first at this campus, other Midwestern universities, such as the University of Nebraska and Iowa State University, have used this system for years.
Like fellow Jayhawker Tower residents, Abby Boudewyns, Leawood sophmore, uses her KUID to enter her building. This is the first year for the towers to switch from the keypad entry to requiring tenants to use KUIDs.
Arthur said using a swipe card system benefits everyone.
"I think it's a really good way to go," she said. "It's so individualized."

The locksmith is in his shop, cutting grooves into keys. Every day, it's kevs.
"I don't know if this is true," says Joe Falkenstien, head of the three-man KU locksmith department for academic buildings, "but I've heard that keys are the second-most manufactured item in the world, behind shoes."
It's Friday, and he's hunched over his desk. His fleshy hands carefully drop a pin. 3 inches thick into a tiny hole in a cylinder lock.

ing at the University for nearly 25 years. He's been a locksmith for the last 20. He can make any key and pick any lock.
He slides a few more pins into the lock, each one making it distinct. He reaches for the master key, tests the lock, then slides in the Burge Union key that fits the lock. It's a match, of course.
Falkenstien, 50, with a wife and two kids, has been work-
"Our motto is, 'We can open anything but your mind,'" he said, grinning from behind his ruddy mustache.
Old school profession
The capacious shop is lined wall to wall with locks and lock parts. Tiny screws in boxes and big door handles fill the room.
As Falkenstien moves through the shop, he passes a box full of old keypad locks, the kind meant to replace keys.
On one end, keys to each room of every academic building on the Lawrence campus hang in lockers. Nearly 20,000 kews dangle there.
"They've taken a mechanical machine and electrified it," he says. "It's doubled our trouble in troubleshooting."
Falkensien estimates that there are more than 100 combo locks on campus. But they aren't in vogue anymore. Now, it's card-scanning locks that are steadily replacing keys.

POLICY
Commission defers drug ordinance
BY TRAVIS ROINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Lawrence City Commission, on a unanimous vote, deferred city staff to draft an ordinance banning the possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, changing the location for prosecution from District to Municipal Court.
Laura Green of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas requested the ordinance in a presentation last night to the commission. Green said she wanted to clear up confusion surrounding the ordinance.
She said it was a common misconception that the ordi-
decimalize
nance would marijuana. Decriminalization meant removing the penalties, which was not what she was asking, she said.
Green said the proposed ordinance would have the exact same penalty in Municipal Court as District Court.

needed to be. The ordinance gives first-time offenders the ability to have a second chance.
Mike Rundle City commissioners
He said marijuana and paraphernalia possession still would have penalties and consequences, and repeat offenses would follow a parallel course to what occurs now.
"I hope people do take the time to think these things through as much as they can, rather than take a quick reaction to a poll in the newspaper," Rundle said.
Commissioners Sue Hack, David Schauner and Mike Amyx all agreed they could not take a stance for or against the ordinance without the actual ordinance in front of them. Hack
"It's not three strikes, and you're out," Highberger said. "It's one strike, and you're out."
supported the proposal because the Higher Education Act's drug provision, barring students with drug convictions on their record from receiving financial aid for a set amount of time, was too harsh for an offense such as possession of marijuana or paranormalia.
Leslie Eldridge, community affairs director of the Student Senate, said the possible ordinance was addressed at last week's Senate meeting. She said the Senate considered the ordinance to be a students' rights issue and that the Senate was a supporter of a student's right to have an education and keep financial aid. With this ordinance in place, more students could keep aid and fewer would be barred from applying, and the Senate "whole-heartedly" supports the proposition. Commissioner Mike Rundle also was in favor of the ordinance. He said the impact on people's lives was harsher than it
said she would like to see what other communities have done and make some comparisons.
Schauner said he had more questions than answers, such as what the cost impact to cities with ordinances like this would be.
One factor that Hack, Schauer and Amxv opposed
about the proposed ordinance was making marijuana a low priority. Hack said she would not support the ordinance under those circumstances. Amyx said he agreed that manijuana should never be a low priority because it was illegal.
"I don't think the commission is in the business of telling the police department how to prioritize law enforcement," Schauner said.
Green said what she meant was to make marijuana and paraphernalia possession a low priority in relation to other drugs. She said 85 percent of drug offenses in Lawrence are for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.
"The police department needs to go find people selling the drugs," she said.
Highberger said the vote whether to adopt the ordinance would be cast after the ordinance was drafted by the city staff. He was not sure when that would be.

Tulane transfers get help
▼ HURRICANE KATRINA
— Edited by Kellis Robinett

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas schools are split in their policy toward the students displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Private universities, such as Washburn and Rockhurst, are waiving or delaying tuition payments entirely, while the public institutions, such as the University of Kansas and Kansas State University are offering to waive late fees and work with students for possible financial aid.
University officials said so far 19 displaced students have been admitted, 15 of those being from Kansas.
Marles Roney, vice provost for student success, attributed the discrepancies to legal constraints set forth by the Kansas Board of Regents.
"From a legal perspective, we can't reduce tuition." Roney said. "The Board approves a fee structure that has been approved already."
At the moment, all the University can do is work with the federal government on loans and scholarships because there is no reliable method of contacting the students' former colleges, Roney said.
"I it's a fairly complex situation and we are very limited on what we can do immediately," Roney said. "But we'll know more by the end of the week hopefully."
UNIVERSITIES DIFFER ON ASSISTANCE
Public colleges and universities in Nebraska and Oklahoma have offered to reduce or eliminate tuition for displaced students altogether.
Joan Sanmann, admissions staff
Assistance provided to displaced students at universities (OSU, KSU, Missouri, KU, Rockhurst, Nebraska, Washburn):
* Extending enrollment period until Friday, Sept. 9
* Financial help with textbooks and school supplies
* Elimination of late fees
* Assistance in finding federal aid
Additional help:
Public Oklahoma Universities — Waiving tuition for the fall semester
♦ Washburn University
— Waiving tuition for the
entire academic year
♦ University of Nebraska (all
four campuses) — In-state
tuition for the semester
- Rockhurst University
  - Delaying tuition billing for eight weeks
adviser for Oklahoma State University, said all public higher education institutions in Oklahoma were allowed to waive tuition to displaced students for a semester after the Oklahoma Board of Regents approved the measure during a teleconference, last week.
"Right now, we're just admitting them," Derritt said.
Erin Brush, originally from Edmond, Okla., is a sophomore transfer student to the University from Tulane, where she was in the School of Architecture. Brush first looked at Oklahoma State University, which is a 45-minute drive from her home. But like the University of Tulane, the University has a five year masters program for architecture students
Sources: Larry Moeder, director of admissions at KSU; Christian Basi, spokesman for the University of Missouri; Dawn Shew, director of student activities at Washburn; Brent Gage, associate director of admission at the University of Nebraska; Joan Sannmann, admissions staff adviser at Oklahoma State University; Katherine Frohoff, director of media relations for Parkhurst University.
Cindy Derritt, director of the University registrar, said there was no discussion under way at the Kansas Board of Regents about reducing or waiving tuition for the students.
Rockhurst University.
"If I want Tulane on my diploma, I can't afford to get behind in architecture classes," Brush said.
Brush met with the dean of the architecture school, John Gaunt, and then associate dean, Michael Swann who she said were both extremely helpful and accommodating. Even though many of the studio classes were already full, Gaunt and Swan ensured Brush that the enrollment process would be as smooth as possible.
"They almost transferred my whole semester from Tulane." Brush said. "The professors looked up what classes I would be taking and went by Tulane's program, and not theirs, which is a little different."
But the downside to Brush coming to the University is having to pay double tuition. Tu-
iane's dean of architecture, Reed Kroloff, in a letter posted Sept. 6, on www.tulaneschoolofarchitecture.com said, "Pay your tuition to Tulane, if you haven't already, and all tuition will be waived at the host school. You may still have to pay some student fees, and you will be responsible for all your living expenses, as you would have been in New Orleans."
According to www.lunchmoney.com, a Web site that tracks universities' tuition, a year's worth of tuition and room and board at Tulane is $40,000. On top of paying Tulane, Brush must also pay out-of-state tuition to the University.
"It's not like I'm asking for a hand-out," Brush said. "My parents can afford to send me to college, but paying for it twice is hard. I'm not living out of a box but at the same time it does put a strain on everything."
The TSA Web site encouraged students to look elsewhere for the semester, and in regards to professional schools it said students should try to find an equivalent program.
Brush's hope is that she will be reimbursed or compensated by Tulane, eventually. Tulane president Scott Cowen said in an address to students posted on www.tulane.edu, on Sept. 3, that students could be sure that Tulane would implement the plan in a manner that was fair and equitable as it regarded the tuition that students had paid or must pay to the institution they attend this fall.

Kansas prepares for more evacuees
BY JOHN MILBURN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joy Moser, spokeswoman for the Kansas Adjutant General's Department, which includes the National Guard and emergency management, said yesterday that fewer than 1,000 people were already in Kansas.
TOPEKA — State officials are preparing for an estimated 4,000 evacuees from Hurricane Katrina to arrive in the coming days, far fewer than originally rumored.
"We might be able to handle more," Moser said. "We want to make sure we can handle what they give us. They don't want to stress everybody. Texas is stressed."
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was
asked by Texas officials to take in people whom they couldn't handle, said Nicole Corcoran, the governor's spokeswoman. Sebelius signed a letter yesterday asking for federal funds to assist Kansas in caring for evacuees.
"Supplementary federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health and safety and to lessen the overall impact of this effort on the evacuates and the state of Kansas." Sebelius said.
Communities across Kansas were beginning to see people trickle in from the storm, with the bulk of evacuees still to come.
"Still waiting. Ready and waiting," said Angie Duntz, spokeswoman for Sedgwick County.

The University of Kansas plans to create 42 new faculty positions for the fall of 2006.
The new faculty members will be hired as part of the five-year Tuition Enhancement Plan, which raised students' tuition for University-wide improvements during a five-year period. The plan, in its fourth year, has already funded the hire of 58 faculty members. As soon as the 42 remaining positions are filled, the number of faculty members hired under the Tuition Enhancement Plan will total 100.
"It gives us the opportunity to create more offerings of things we weren't able to before," said Lindy Eakin, vice provost of administration and finance.
Hiring the new faculty members would allow the University to grow in new directions and add new classes or programs without making budget cuts, Eakin said. The University will focus on hiring professors in life
sciences and globalization. One of the new fields the University hopes to include is bioinformatics, which is the combination of biology, chemistry and engineering.
"It gives the faculty an overall boost since the faculty will have more colleagues to collaborate with," Eakin said.
Carla Hines, Shawnee senior, said she was not sure if an increase in the number of professors would help or hurt the University.
The engineering student said she thought a larger number of professors could lead to conflicts in viewpoints and a less straight-forward approach to what was being taught. The School of Engineering is searching for seven new faculty members; it already filled 10 new positions in the past two years.

Some faculty search committees have been formed, but none have started hiring as of yet, Weaver said. Few professors would be hired before the end of the fall semester; offers are typically made to potential professors during the spring semester.

A resident who was watching the incident called the police. Police apprehended a suspect at the scene and later two other suspects who fled the scene, Ward said.
The suspects include Ryan M. Cunningham, 19, Jason D. Warble, 20, and Michael Zotti, 23, all KU students, Ward said. They were arrested for criminal impersonation of an officer, burglary and obstruction.

Bush pays respects to chief
▼ SUPREME COURT
BY GINA HOLLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—Teary-eyed Supreme Court justices, a somber President Bush and one-time clerk John Roberts led a long line of Americans paying their last respects to William H. Rehquist, the chief justice whose conservatism helped drive the high court toward the right.
Washington protocol underscored a changing of the guard yesterday. Roberts, the former Rehnquist clerk named to succeed his old boss, was among the palbearers carrying the flag-draped casket up the court's long steps and into the Great Hall.
Rehnquist died Saturday at 80 after battling thyroid cancer.
Bush, his head bowed, and first lady Laura Bush spent about a minute standing near the casket and a short time looking at the portrait of Rehnquist on a stand nearby. Justice Antonin Scalia escorted the couple.
Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. today at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, open to friends and family. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney plan to attend, and Bush is to
Remembrance is finally Bush initially nominated Roberts, a federal appellate judge, to replace O'Connor, who announced in July that she would step down. The president said Monday that he would nominate Roberts to be the nation's 17th chief justice instead and that the list of possible nominees for O'Connor's seat was now "wide open."
speak, along with retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Rehnquist family members.
In an acknowledgment of the period of mourning, Roberts' confirmation hearings, which had been scheduled to begin Tuesday in the Senate, were delayed until next Monday.
Flags, including the one above the court, were at half-staff in honor of Rehnquist, a President Nixon appointee who served on the court for 33 years and was elevated to chief justice in 1986 by President Reagan.
Bush and Senate Republicans are pushing to confirm Roberts before the new court session that begins Oct. 3. Democrats cautioned against a rush to judgment now that Roberts is a candidate for chief justice and at age 50, could shape the court for decades.
"I would hope all senators, Republicans and Democrats, would ask very substantive questions because this is, after all, a lifetime position," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
In a simple morning ceremony, six justices, along with former clerks and court staff lined the steps outside the court, awaiting the arrival of the hearse bearing Rehnquist's casket. Seven men and one woman — most of them former Rehnquist clerks — carried the casket past the line that included a crying O'Connor.
In the Great Hall, Rehnquist's casket was placed on the Lincoln Catafalque, the structure on which President Lincoln's coffin rested in the Rotunda of the Capitol a century and a half earlier. Two sprays of flowers and the portrait were on display.
At the east end of the hall were the doors leading to the court chamber, a reminder of Rehnquist's years of service.
The Rev. George Evans Jr., the Rehnquist family pastor at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Virginia, read
from Psalms and led the Lord's Prayer. There were audible sobs from the family.
Rehnquist's personal employees were the first to make a circle around the coffin. A stream of other court workers followed. Absent were Justices Anthony M. Kennedy and David Souter.
After the brief ceremony, a long line of people formed outside the court and people began walking inside past the coffin. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, and Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., were among those who paused before the casket.
Among the first was Sarah Chusid, 24, an intern at Mobilizing America's Youth, a private organization that seeks to increase the involvement of young people across the political spectrum.
Although she considers herself a liberal, Chusid said she respected the influential role that Rehnquist played on the court for more than three decades. "This is a pivotal time in the court's history; I had to come down and bear witness to this event," she said.
Kevs
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Many, if not most, modern offices use card scanners to secure their buildings. Many universities, from Harvard to Nebraska, have followed suit.
The University is no stranger to card scanners. Falkenstien estimates that between 100 and 150 card scanners have been installed, with more appearing all the time.
"We're going in that direction," he says.
Maybe someday the University won't need a locksmith. It'll need a techsmith. But for now,
it needs Falkenstien to make kevs.
Not to say that key-making technology hasn't changed. It just hasn't changed much.
The non-pressurized machine Falkenstien learned on still sits in the shop. On that machine, he had to manually pull a rod to cut each groove into the key. Six pulls a key, 50 to 75 keys a day — that's a lot of work.
"I got so sick of cutting keys, I thought I was going to go insane," he said. "Here I am 20 years later and I'm still doing it. And I'm still going insane."
Unlocking the secret
He removes a blank key from a box, places it in the pressurized machine, pulls a lever and adjusts the machine before every cut to make the key fit a specific lock.
Once the key is cut, Falkenstien moves to his right and turns on an electric wire brush that smooths out the key's edges.
Fittingly, John Mellencamp is roaring over the radio: "Ain't that America, land of the free!"
Falkenstien picks up a hammer and a steel stamp and stamps the key code and building number onto it.
"That's it," he says.
A few minutes later, a young woman enters the shop. She's lost her key.
"No problem," he says, and he makes her a new one. He attaches a key ring so she won't misplace it this time.
Just helping out.
"It's quite an operation we have out here," he says of the University. "It's like its own little community, its own little world, almost its own economy."
He shrugs.
"It's kind of a cool place to work."

Boeing strike cuts hours
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
stoppage at the Boeing Co Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers walked off the job at Boeing production plants near Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Wichita on Friday. The union represents 18,400 people at the three facilities, including 960 in Wichita where Boeing has kept its military operations.
Few watched strike developments with as much interest as Spirit Aerosystems, the company formed after its parent, Onex Corp., bought Boeing's commercial aircraft operations in Wichita as well as Tulsa and McAlester in Oklahoma.
WICHITA — Spirit Aerosystems Inc. told its 8,600 employees in Kansas and Oklahoma yesterday it was shortening their workweek by no more than two days during the machinists' strike and subsequent work stoppage at the Boeing Co.
Boeing has so far remained Spirit's sole customer, said Spirit spokesman Fred Solis, adding that the strike underscores the need for Spirit to expand its customer base.
About 8,600 people now work at Spirit's three plants, including 7,500 in Wichita.
In a letter to employees, Spirit CEO Jeff Turner said yesterday the decision was based on several immediate priorities.
"We plan, to the best of our ability, to minimize the impact on you of necessary business actions taken to preserve cash resources, ensure the long-term health of our young company, and be ready to support Boeing's production requirements when the work stoppage is over,"
Turner wrote.
Turner told workers that none of them will be asked to shorten their workweek by more than two days. The reduced weeks will begin as soon as possible.
Excel Manufacturing, which employs 130 people in Wichita, produces structural components like ribs and fittings for Boeing's military and commercial aircraft operations.
Some "critical areas" at the plant will not be affected, the letter said. Those include programs focused on future development and those in pursuit of new business.
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.
To minimize the personal impact, the company has continued its health and group benefits and given workers various options. Employees are allowed to use their vacation balance or earned time off until it is exhausted for their two days off per week.
Allen Oakleaf, owner and CEO of Excel Manufacturing, remembers how nervous he was then when Boeing machinists went on strike. At that time Boeing orders accounted for 70 to 80 percent of his business, sparking a work slowdown and work stoppage at Excel.
The last strike by Boeing machinists was a 69-day walkout in 1995.
work stoppings "It hurt us," he said. "Today, we are more diversified. We are so doggone busy now, if there was an impact it would allow us to do more work for someone else."
"In our case, the impact is not as severe as some only because the amount of business we do with Boeing as a percentage of our business is fairly low," Oak-leaf said.

California bill OKs same-sex marriages
BY STEVE LAWRENCE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —The California Legislature yesterday became the first legislative body in the country to approve same-sex marriages, as gay-rights advocates overcame two earlier defeats in the Assembly.
The 41-35 vote sends the bill to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The bill's supporters compared the legislation to earlier civil rights campaigns, including efforts to eradicate slavery and give women the right to vote.
"Do what we know is in our hearts," said the bill's sponsor.
San Francisco Democrat Mark Leno. "Make sure all California families will have the same protection under the law."
Leno's bill had failed in the Assembly by four votes in June, but he was confident he could get it through on a second try after the Senate approved a same-sex marriage bill last week.
Democratic Assemblyman Paul Koretz called bans on gay marriage "the last frontier of bigotry and discrimination, and it's time we put an end to it."
Assemblyman Tom Umberg, a Democrat who abstained when another gay marriage bill fell four votes short in June, said he
was concerned about what his three children would think of him if he didn't join those "who sought to take a leadership role in terms of tolerance, equality and fairness."
But opponents repeatedly cited the public's vote five years ago to approve Proposition 22, an initiative put on the ballot by gay marriage opponents to keep California from recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states or countries.
"History will record that you betrayed your constituents and their moral and ethical values," said Republican Assemblyman Jay La Suer.
New storm threatens Florida
BY JILL BARTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
About 120 miles of Florida's Atlantic coast were under a tropical storm warning yesterday as a new system formed just offshore and threatened to dump up to 15 inches of rain in parts of the state.
The tropical depression could strengthen into Tropical Storm Ophelia by today, which prompted the warning from north of Jupiter to Titusville, according to the National Hurricane Center. It was expected to bring tropical storm conditions — winds of at least 39 mph — to the state by this morning.
this morning.
"The primary concern is very heavy rains," hurricane specialist Richard Pasch said. Five to 10 inches were expected over the next few days, with some isolated areas possibly getting
15 inches. The rain was expected to hit areas affected by last year's Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. Much of the region has recovered, but some homes remain covered in tarps as owners await new roofs.
At 8 p.m., the depression had top sustained winds of about 30 mph and was centered about 165 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral. It was drifting northward with slow northwest movement expected later yesterday.
Emergency management officials in St. Lucie and Indian River counties said they were monitoring the depression for developments but were not taking any protective action.
Two other storms were out in the open ocean yesterday as the busy hurricane season continued. Tropical Storm Nate was expected to strengthen south of Bermuda, while Hurricane Maria weakened on its way to the
colder waters of the north Atlantic.
lance.
At 5 p.m., Nate, the 14th named storm of the season, was centered about 275 miles south-southwest of Bermuda with top sustained winds near 60 mph. Forecasters said it could reach hurricane strength, with winds of at least 74 mph, by today.
It wasn't moving, though it was expected to eventually make a turn to the northeast over the next 24 hours, forecasters said
"Perhaps by the end of the work week it could be posing a threat to Bermuda, but not the U.S.," hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said.
Maria peaked late Monday as a Category 3 hurricane with top wind speeds at 115 mph. By 5 p.m.yesterday, it was centered about 575 miles east-northeast of Bermuda, forecasters said.
Maria is the fifth hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Radio regurgitates routine rhapsodies
KANSAN The
This semester marks the third semester I've been a DJ at KJHK 90.7, and I've really enjoyed spinning tunes at the station. Recently, I even had the privilege to meet a fan: my friend's dad, who listens to our station online all the way from England. As we discussed the station and my experience there, he asked if my future career plans included becoming a radio DJ. I told him no without much hesitation and explained that, as much as I love being a disc jockey, I've found that most radio stations don't like to experiment with their formats. Call me a music snob all you want, but I'd rather work on the marketing team at Abercrombie and Fitch than for a radio station that plays it safe and sticks to a mainstream format.

One of the major problems with this region is that you can hardly differentiate between the commercial FM stations here
LAURA WATKINS opinion@kansan.com
The five corporations — Entercom, Viking, CBS/Infinity, Cumulus and Susquehanna — that dominate FM commercial radio in the Kansas City area need to consider the audience members they aren't satisfying with their country, adult contemporary and Top 40 stations. Greed shouldn't be the only thing affecting radio format; these corporations need to quit playing it safe and begin targeting the audience members
when surfing through the channels. 93.3 and 95.7 are basically the same station — play the Top 40 music that guarantees you money, no matter how horrible it sounds. 96.5 The Buzz is similar to those stations but with the hip-hop music removed, giving it that "I'm so totally punked out for corporations" sound. 97.3 is almost the.same as the Buzz but with some more mellow, yet mainstream, alternative rock. In fact, it's not uncommon for me to flip the dial only to find the same horrid Green Day song playing on several different stations at once.
I've got to be honest. Some of my animosity toward ra-
with different music preferences. Not everyone wants to listen to the Britney Spears/Kelly Clarkson/Simple Plan songs they can access anywhere. Give
dio has to do with something I experienced in high school. I carefully planned to release this article around the anniversary of a rather tragic date in radio history. I remember the day after Labor Day weekend in 1999 just as if it were yesterday. As I drove with an acquaintance to school, she turned on 105.9 The Lazer, a station I loved because of its focus on more alternative rock and especially for their promotion of local music. But they were playing music from the new Madonna album. I was pissed. Why the hell would a perfectly good alternative rock station that spent its time preaching the ways of alternative, modern rock and local music to the masses turn to Top 40 mainstream format?
The answer is money. I'm fully aware that 105.9 changed because it thought there would be a bigger listening audience to reach with pop music. I know
the people something they can listen to and enjoy!
P. S. Willie Nelson, I really do love you, but I am still really pissed about your participation in Jessica Simpson's joke of a remake of a perfectly wonderful Nancy Sinatra song.

how money works. No matter how much I dislike it, I understand that money is typically the determining factor when most people decide how to react to an opportunity.
But that doesn't mean it's not complete bullshit. When you own six or seven stations in one area, can't you take a risk and play something you can't hear on MTV? There are a ton of people in our area who can't afford or don't have access to CD and MP3 players but who want to hear something different on the radio. What about them?

In a city with a metropolitan population of more than 2 million, why is there only one hiphop station in town? Why is it necessary to have nine country stations, yet there isn't a commercial FM station playing any type of world music? What about the people who want to hear electronic, classical, under-

Goetting's goett it all wrong
Joshua Goetting's August 25th editorial mischaracterizes the protest. He states: "this protest...is an attempt by some to impose societal ideas on the military at the expense of military effectiveness."
This protest did not seek to impose ideals on the military; it asked that the administration enforce its own nondiscrimination policy and deny the military the right to recruit on campus.
Mr. Goetting cites the US military as a color blind segment of society.Promotion op-
the thoroughly getting worried that allowing gays in the military would damage effectiveness. Throughout its history, the U.S. military's effectiveness has not been used for justice or liberty, but for the protection of U.S.
portunities do not make the military color-blind. In a 1997 congressionally-mandated survey, 75 percent of minorities in the military said that "they have experienced racially offensive behavior, and less than half expressed confidence that complaints of discrimination are thoroughly investigated."
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editorial board high on self
The August 30 editorial, "New law provokes toke," levies the charge of moral error against proponents of a city ordinance that would change the way first-time marijuana offenders are handled by both the Police Department and the justice system.
As I see it, the ordinance exists largely outside the moral realm. This ordinance is about saving law enforcement and the courts and, thusly, the taxpayers (e.g. students, residents, citizens, all of us), money.
Simultaneously, the law enforcement community will be able to focus limited resources on investigating and prosecuting more serious crimes that take place in our fair town such as rape, domestic violence, and theft to name a few.
Despite all of the erroneous charges made in the August 30 editorial, which range from increased drug use to a full blown, pot-fueled, population boom, the laws prohibiting the sale, use, and possession of marijuana will remain unchanged and fully enforced.
The ordinance will not result in the legalization of marijuana, nor its decriminalization for that matter. The argument made in the editorial piece is faulty and completely misses the point of the ordinance, to save us (the taxpayers) money and to potentially save students' academic lives.
Let's start with the plea for understanding for "those students who need financial aid who didn't get caught with pot." According to the editorial, the ordinance would make it "possible for a student without a drug conviction to get passed up for student loans by a student with a drug conviction." This is a half truth at best.
The student with the conviction would be more eligible for the loan if and only if his/her financial need was greater than that of the conviction-free student. I don't think that there exists a single case in which someone with genuine financial need loses out on federal aid dollars because those funds were given to some red-eyed dope fiend that is equally financially eligible instead.
Student loans, especially need-based loans, are disbursed to most every needy student. From time to time someone who has made a mistake in their past, though needy, does not and cannot qualify for federal aid, regardless of the steps in the present they are taking to make good choices and like seeking higher education.
But, as I have previously stated, this is not a moral issue but one of economics and efficient public services. So, just for fun let's make an alternative moral argument to that which was presented in the August 30 editorial. This is an argument that can be made although it need not be, as the ordinance has intentions other than dictating public morality.
During his senior year, while hosting a party at his apartment, the Lawrence Police show up to end the shin-dig, in the course of which they find a pipe and a very small amount of the drug, "Mariiiana."
Let's say that Herbert T. Dope-smoker is the first from his poor family to attend college, much less KU. Herb is completely reliant on Federal Student Aid and an assortment of grants to fund his education. He is an excellent student, and progressing quickly towards his double major in education and political science.
Both the pipe and the drugs are not even his despite his extremely ironic name, he's never even tried "the pot", but they are in his house. Under the current system Herb goes directly to jail, does not pass go ("Lawrence is not a monopoly game," remember? Of course you do.), and loses a lot more than two hundred dollars.
Does a system that can turn one mistake, one misjudgment, or some misfortune into a lifetime of debt or deprive one of the opportunities afforded the recipients of a college education on such grounds seem a little immoral to you? It does to me.
His financial aid is cut, his grants are rescinded, and Herb can no longer afford to go to college any longer, so he drops out. He is convicted and is now, not only permanently haunted by his criminal record, but is also more than fifty thousand dollars in debt, a debt which he has no real prospects of paying off any time soon, essentially sentencing him to years of menial labor at low wages. Why? A little pot, a lot of bad luck, and because he and his family are not rich enough to pay his way out of the hole he fell in to.
Under the proposed ordinance this unfortunate series of events is largely averted. Herb will no doubt have to work hard to pay off the court fees and fines assessed to him, he may have to borrow more money to do so, but at least he might be able to fulfill the potential within himself, and someday repay society for leniency and understanding he was shown by a SENSIBLE policy towards first-time offenders.
It may be easy to sit back and claim to have the moral high ground, to pass down judgment from afar, to harbor opinions based on a conception of concrete, uniformly applicable morality that exists only in the abstract, however, the world is made up of shades and touches of gray, and this ordinance is a recognition of that. Compassion and empathy are virtues that are important parts of our character, both individually and socially. Our policies should reflect these virtues.

8A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2005
READ THIS FIRST Letter from the editor
Hello and welcome back to another fun-filled, factually dubious year at The University Daily Kansan.
A year full of exciting possibilities that will slowly diminish into depressing realities. This is Tongue in Beak, the satire section of the newspaper. Here you can find your dose of campus hilarity and hijinks on the first Wednesday of every month. That's right. Four times a semester, after you are done with the crossword puzzle, you can turn to the back page of the Kansan for some edgy satire that's usually written at the last minute and sometimes peppered with a clever penis joke.
Because of the offensive nature of some of the articles in the Tongue in Beak section, we have to remind you, the reader, that we are not for everyone and that the writers and editors of the Tongue in Beak section are not the writers and editors of the actual Kansan.
So, seriously, if you are from Johnson County and are offended by an article, be sure to have your parents contact us. On the other hand, if you really like an article, or you think this section is a shady rip-off of The Onion and that you could do better after smoking a couple of bowls (which, by the way, is just the drugs talking; you cannot outdo this literary brilliance), please do not e-mail or call the Kansan newsroom. Instead send your e-mail to tinb@kansan.com, and we'll be more than happy to ignore or ridicule it.
Thank you,

Showdown at high Moon
Giddens, Randall to host Second Annual Charity Brawl
ERIC SCHAUMBURG
tinb@kansan.com
tinb in BEA WRIITE
Former KU basketball player J.R. Giddens and former KU running back John Randle will face off in a bloody, bare-knuckled duel to benefit local charity Friday.
we just felt like we owe the community a little somethin' somethin' for, ya know, puttin' up with our bullshit and, ya know ... whatea." Giddens told reporters Monday.
The event is expected to raise at least $100 for the United Way's Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence, after subtracting legal fees incurred by Giddens and Randle.
"This town has given me bars to urinate on, stolen credit cards to order pizza with and random bouncers to punch so I figured, 'Hell, why not?' I should give something back," Randle said while trying to start his car, for which he evidently had lost the keys.
"I hope Randle 'The Pissin' Vandal' tears into Giddens'," said Jamal Weekley, 8, a member of the Boys and Girls Club. "That'll teach Giddens to shoot deep three pointers when we had Simien under the net."
"Won't even be a fight. It'll be like kickin' the ass of a bouncer at The Hawk, then stealin' his wallet and pissin' on him," Randle said.
Randle expressed confidence in his chances of winning.
"Let's just say I've got a knife or two up my sleeve," Giddens hinted at the weigh-in Monday. "Kickin' Randle's butt will be as easy as draining three from ten feet behind the arc while being guarded."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he didn't care who won because the two men no longer played sports for the University.
The two criminals will face off after last call Friday night, or whenever the Hennessy runs out in front of the former Moon Bar. Tickets are $10 the night of the event or $5 in advance. Advance tickets are available from the United Way. Crowd safety is not guaranteed.
CHANCELLOR CORNER Welcome freshman
Hello freshmen, and welcome to the University of Kansas. KU offers many opportunities, and with a little luck and a lot of hard work you too can achieve your goals ... as long as you stay in college, you lily white suckers.

finally find your lifeless, frigid, bare body after a gangland attack prison-style inside the showers, you think they're gonna cry for you? No. To them you're just another college dropout who ended up on the wrong side of a deal.
Is that the life you want?'Cause that's the way you gonna and up if you don't stay in school. With that I want to say again thank you for choosing the University of Kansas and our excellent schools and staff. We welcome you with open arms and look forward to seeing you on Mount Oread.

Cheetos too cheesy for Jaybowl
Administrators have voted against selling Cheetos in the Kansas Union, citing reasons for the denial "alarmingly high" levels of cheesy flavor and an inability to protect minors from the snack that many experts consider "dangerously cheesy."
"Obviously I'm disappointed that the proposal was denied," said Jeff Coates, Seneca junior and student senator. "We felt strongly that students could responsibly enjoy this destructively cheesy, yet tasty, snack while bowling in a safe environment."
The proposal was submitted by Student Senate to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and vice provost of student success Marlesa Roney. Senate polled students, asking if they would feel safe in the Union around an item with a potentially fatal cheese level.
Students supported the sale of Cheetos with an overwhelming majority, and most students looked forward to the snacks in the Union.
"I enjoy Cheetos at my house and at restaurants, and I do so as a legal adult. Not every day, mind you, just on the weekends," said Nick Ross, Hiawata graduate student in biological science. =
"We agree that most students probably would not have had a problem with it," Roney said. "It's just that 5 percent or so will abuse the product, and we consider the risk too high."
The Union sold Cheetos until 1994, when one student's head exploded from a cheese overload, splattering bystanders with a mixture of brains and dehydrated, processed cheddar. Since then, all genetically engineered hydrogenated corn products have been banned from campus.

writer. Here's my problem: my girlfriend weighs 360 pounds, an improvement from 400 a year ago. I am all right with this because, to me, it's the person inside that counts. Recently, though, I met a girl who just happened to be thinner and I truly believe with all my heart that she's a nicer, better person. I tried to tell my girlfriend
— Jim
Dear Jim:
Dear Jim.
Whoa Dude! You're in luck'cause Rick the Partymeister—Do you like the nickname? I came up with it myself—has had a little experience with the bulging beauties himself. I remember this one Kappa Kappa Alpha girl I met at the annual Ball on the
Beach party that all my crazy frat brothers and I throw.
This chick, although she did not weigh 360 pounds, I would guess was packing a solid buck twenty-five.
At first I thought it was a joke, cause, like, how could a girl that weighs more than 110 pounds get into our party? After all we ARE Delta Psi Epsilon! But when I realized it was not a joke and that she was not a custodian or anything I decided to approach her.
I like to think of myself as a good samaritan type, you know, and this was definitely a case of charity on my part. Anyways, after I approached her and asked her if she had any diseases or anything that made her grotesquely obese, she responded no and that she was actually "healthy" — whatever that means.
I talked to her for a while but after that I realized she was not my type.
The reason I mention that story, though, is because like only five minutes after I finished talking to her I took one of my famous beer bongs, and these two chicks were looking really impressed at me and all, so I used some of my smoother moves —What am I talking about? All
of my moves are smooth! And we ended up talking and, you know, one thing led to another, and I ended up, like, getting on both of them at once in the pool house, and just as we were about to take it to the next level one of the girls passed out and cracked her skull on the concrete.
That part was not cool, but to tell you the truth, I was hala messed up myself! Yea man! Best night of my life! So to answer your question, Jim — keep rocking!

Jayhawks kill Billikens
Three games, three victories

The Kansas volleyball team swept Saint Louis last night, bouncing back from its first defeat of the season.
With the exception of a close third game, the Jayhawks dominated the Billikens from start to finish. Kansas served itself a
victory in game one, 30-22. The Jayhawks came up with four aces against just two errors. In contrast, Saint Louis did not record any aces and had three miscues.
Game two saw much of the same, with Kansas running away from its counterparts and winning by eight for the second time last night. The Jayhawks were aided by a paltry .364 attack percentage in the frame,
while the Billikens hit just. 160.
The thir and final game was more competitive. Saint Louis hung with Kansas until the end, before failing 30-28.

Schedule allows no time to slack
The NFL has the preseason and college basketball has the EA Sports All-Stars, but what about college football?
The Jahawks escaped a loss, but showed they have a lot of growing to do to contend in the Big 12 Conference.
As teams around the country learned last Saturday, week one of college football is no half-speed scrimmage. It's as important to the standings as games in November.
The offense looked like an out-of-tune guitar, with every plucked string leaving the Jayhawk faithful cringing at another incompletion or penalty.
Senior running back Clark Green and junior running back Jon Cornish had strong individual performances overshadowed by a disjointed team performance.
Oklahoma's loss to TCU had the feel of March Madness and perhaps damaged the Sooners' title hopes.
The good news for Kansas is that it was not the only big-name school dusting off the cobwebs.
Ditto for Texas A&M and Auburn, both ranked teams that lost to unranked opponents. With tough conference schedules ahead for all three teams, it becomes important for them to regain footing in time for Saturday.
College football doesn't slowly build to an exciting finish like other sports. It comes rushing out with the power and force of a fire hose turned to full blast.
JEANNE
with only 12 games in a season, the match against Florida Atlantic can be considered as important as the one against Oklahoma. Every victory and loss is magnified.
The closest the Jayhawks had to an exhibition was the spring game. Comparing this to a real game would be like saying Hydrox cookies taste as good as

Oreos. Nobody's going to be fooled.
Considering this lack of experience, scheduling for the first week is important. The Jayhawks made a terrific decision by booking Florida Atlantic. The Owls gave the Jayhawks all they could handle, but in the end, the talent gap was too much for the Owls to overcome.
Kansas will play a similarly wise game this Saturday against Appalachian State. If there are still kinks to be ironed out, the team can figure it out and still have time to recover.
That's not to say the Jayhawks will have a 2-0 record after Saturday. Four quarters of sloppy football will result in a loss against any team, as evidenced by Oklahoma's fallout against TCU.
The Kansas team that played the first half on Saturday was not the same as the team in the second half. Neither would win a Big 12 game, but the second-half team showed signs of improvement. If the same can be said on Monday, then Jayhawk fans have reason to be encouraged about the upcoming season.
Analyzing last Saturday's game as an exhibition is a mistake, because it wasn't. Instead, smart scheduling means Jayhawk coaches could get a good look at their team without worrying too much about the result.

Clark Green made a lot of noise on the field Saturday, but off the field, he goes about his business quietly.
He said he doesn't look at his stats and isn't caught up in the accolades.
"That's me," the senior running back said. "I might not look like I am excited, but I am."
Green said he had made progress on his ability to read
"I did OK, not too bad; I got 100 yards," Green said. "Yards don't really matter to me. We got the win. That's what I care about."
Green has changed his style of running since his freshman and sophomore campaigns. Previously, he was more of a downfield runner, as he tried to run over defenders to gain yards. Green appeared taster Saturday and was able to accelerate past
defenses. That was evident Saturday, as Green rushed for 107 vards on 20 carries.
Last season, Green did not see as much playing time because he put on too much muscle weight. Consequently, he lost his starting job to then-sophomore running back John Randle.

Green now weighs 210 pounds, and Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has given Green the starting job.
"It was just too much weight and he felt I wasn't as quick as I should," Green said.

MEN'S BASKETBAL Guard rewarded with scholarship
After three seasons of paying his own way to play basketball for the Jayhawks, Steven Vinson was rewarded for his hard work.
The senior guard was given a scholarship for the 2005-06 basketball season, Kansas coach Bill Self announced yesterday.
"Stephen has been a great teammate during his time here at Kansas," Self said. "He's very positive, a great ambassador on campus and the hardest working Jayhawk in our program. He has improved a tremendous amount since he has been here due to his attitude and work ethic."
Vinson, who attended Lawrence High School, has been an invited walk-on for the last three seasons. During his career at Kansas, he appeared in 39 games.
The scholarship couldn't have come at a better time for Vinson and his fiancé, Anna Harve of Lawrence.
"I got engaged this past summer, and this will help with the finances," Vinson said.
Vinson is scheduled to graduate with a communications degree in May 2006.
"This was something Coach and I talked about, but I didn't expect it!" Vinson said. "I will do everything possible this year to prove I am worthy of this."
Self said that Vinson, who is known for his work ethic, will be able to set an example at practice for this year's young Jayhawk team.
"Stephen will be a great leader for our young guys to follow," Self said. "His role with this team should be greater than any other time during his career."

Sophomore Colleen Quinn won the battle for starting goalkeeper this fall over senior Erin Ferguson and freshman Julie Hanley.
Though she's off to a strong start, Quinn realizes she needs to stay on her toes to keep her starting gig.
"I can't get complacent," said Quinn, from Fort Collins, Colo.
"I know that I have to come and work hard every day, because I know that Julie and Erin are going to come and work just
as hard. We're pushing each other every day. I definitely don't have it won by any means over the other two."

Loss to Marshall haunts K-State
Current Wildcat players recall last-second defeat two years ago as Saturday's rematch approaches
BY DAVE SKRETTA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — It has been nearly two years since wide receiver Davin Dennis lay face down in the end zone at KSU Stadium, after what could have been a game-tying touchdown pass slipped through his hands as time expired.
"It was a tough pill to swallow," Dennis said yesterday, remembering Marshall's 27-20 upset of then-No. 6 Kansas State in 2003. "It just so happened the game kind of laid in my hands at the end, but I didn't make the play."
Dennis, then a sophomore, said the loss haunted him for weeks, as the Wildcats struggled through a three-game losing streak. When he turned on ESPN, he saw the highlights. When he opened a newspaper, he read the headlines.
"It was pretty hard to get out of my mind," Dennis said. "I remember a lot of things we did good and bad in the game, but the last play has stuck in my mind. That last play."
Only a handful of players who had a part in the outcome two years ago are still on Kansas State's roster as the Wildcats prepare for a rematch Saturday in Huntington, W.Va.
I remember a lot of things we did good and bad in the game, but the last play has stuck in my mind."
"I
Davin Dennis Kansas State wide receiver
Those who do remember seem just as eager to forget.
But Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, the quintessential here-and-now coach, does remembers the loss vividly — almost every play of it.
"A lot of people talk about that game a couple of years ago," fullback Victor Mann said, "but it doesn't matter. Both of the teams are new."
"I can think of a hundred plays in the ball game — when we pitched it to them and they run it in for a touchdown, and we had a chance to score and we didn't," Snyder said.
"I remember a lot about it, but nobody should have to carry that burden."
day and recounted that last play a dozen or more times. Each time Jeff Schwinn's pass slipped through his outstretched arms, and each time he took full responsibility.
Maybe it's easier to talk about the missed touchdown pass now, considering Kansas State went on to win its first Big 12 championship.
Not even Dennis, who stood bravely in the corner of the Vanier Football Complex yester-
Maybe it's easier because Dennis has finally put football in the proper perspective.
Dennis was born in Thibadoux, La., and his parents Alvin and Hollie still live in St. James, a small town 56 miles north of New Orleans. The town was hit hard last week by Hurricane Katrina, although Dennis' family fled to safety.
"You turn on the TV right now and you see the sights," said Dennis, whose mother has been distributing his old clothes to those in need. "It makes football seem pretty small compared to Louisiana right now."
That's not to say football doesn't mean a lot to a senior who has had a roller-coaster career.
And no one game means more to Dennis than Saturday against Marshall.
"I didn't want to be in that position again, the guy who couldn't make the catch," Dennis said. "I worked hard to get myself better. I prepared myself to change that. I want to show the world that I've redeemed myself."
Because freshman quarterback Kerry Meier is out indefinitely with a health issue, the team lacks a third-string quarterback. Mangino said senior Jason Swanson would likely be the team's third-string quarterback if needed.
Mangino names team's players of the week
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino didn't name a starting quarterback for Saturday's game against Appalachian State yesterday at a press conference. Mangino said he would probably use both senior Brian Luke and junior Adam Barmann, and he would choose the starter later in the week. Meior has health problems, out ofdefinitely
On offense, the coaching staff selected senior running back Clark Green, with 107 yards rushing on 20 carries. On defense, senior linebacker Nick Reid and senior defensive end Charlton Keith were selected. Reid led the team with 11 tackles. Keith had four tackles and a sack. Special teams player of the week was sophomore place kicker Scott Webb who was perfect on field goal attempts, including a 43-yarder.
This week in Jayhawk football
Mangino stays in contact with NFLplayers
With the NFL season beginning tomorrow, Mangino spoke about his friendships with former players who now play professionally. Mangino said he rarely contacted them during the season because of busy schedules. He occasionally got a phone call from former players asking for advice, and during the offseason players would visit him in his office.
Starter not yet named
Tim Allen coming back
Mangino said senior defensive tackle Tim Allen suffered from an injury, but hoped to be 100 percent better by this weekend. He also said Allen needed to play, or he might lose his starting position.
Redney Allen to defensive tackle
Junior defensive end Rodney Allen spent time at defensive tackle on Saturday. The coaching staff made the switch last week. Allen said the transition wasn't difficult, but he had to get used to a different spot. Say What?
"He has kind of teased us on the practice field the last couple years," Mangiino said of junior running back Jon Cornish's ability to run over defenders, as he showed on his touchdown run last week.

Armstrong thinks about making race comeback
Tour de France winner retired in July 2005
BY JIM VERTUNO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Retired life is nice, but Lance Armstrong says he is thinking about making a comeback.
Recently engaged to rocker girlfriend Sheryl Crow, the seventime Tour de France champion issued a statement yesterday confirming that he's contemplating a return to competitive cycling.
"While I'm absolutely enjoying my time as a retired athlete with Sheryl and the kids, the recent smear campaign out of France has awoken my competitive side," Armstrong said. "I'm not willing to put a percentage on the chances but I will no lon-
ith
ger rule it out."
Armstrong, who will turn 34 this month, retired in July after winning his seventh consecutive Tour and declared "I'm finished."
He said he wanted to spend a few days "with a beer, having a blast" with time dedicated to playing with his three children.
Armstrong first hinted of a comeback in an interview Monday with the Austin American-Statesman. An Armstrong spokesman yesterday said the comments were a joke, but within hours, the cyclist confirmed it was possible.
"I'm thinking it's the best way," to anger the French, he told the newspaper. "I'm exercising every day."
But he's also spent the last two weeks angrily denying reports by the French newspaper LEquipe that said tests showed he used a performance-enhancing blood booster in the 1999 tour.

Coroner rules 49er had heart disease
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Thomas Herrion had heart disease and evidence of previous heart trouble when he collapsed and died after a preseason game last month, an official in the Denver County coroner's office said yesterday
The coroner's findings confirmed the beliefs of Herrion's family and friends, who were certain drugs played no role in Herrion's death Aug. 20.
Herrion's heart condition was caused by factors that are often nearly undetectable, though fairly rare in a 23-year-old athlete in good physical condition.
"It really squashes all the speculation regarding his death," said Frederick Lyles, Herrion's agent. "They appear to be very thorough in their analysis. Hopefully, now people really get off the idea that these guys are overweight, or that drugs or steroids were involved."
Herrion had ischemic heart disease, with significant blockage in his right coronary artery that caused the death of heart muscle, according to Amy Martin, a forensic pathologist and deputy coroner in Denver. Herrion's heart was slightly enlarged, a condition that could be related to anything from heart disease and high blood pressure to heredity.

Roger Federer, of Switzerland, returns to Nicolas Keifer, of Germany, at the US Open tennis tournament in New York yesterday.
Federer stumbles, wins in first Open set
2001 champion drops first set before advancing to quarterfinals
BY NANCY ARMOUR
AP NATIONAL WRITER
Lleyton Hewitt scored one for the fashion police in making the
NEW YORK — Roger Federer finally got a scare in the U.S. Open.
Federer will play 11th-seeded David Nalbandian or Davide Sanguinetti.
"Nalbandian, because I have a bad record against him," Federer said when asked if he had a preference.
Looking more mortal than the guy who has dominated tennis the past two years, Federer dropped his first set in the Open before putting Nicolas Kiefer of Germany away 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-4 yesterday to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
"So far in this tournament, I haven't lost set before," Federer said. "When it happens, you're not ready for it."
quarterfinals for the sixth straight year. He won 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 over No. 15 Dominik Hrbaty, who drew more attention for his pink peekaboo shirt than his play.
The 2001 champion and runner-up last year now plays Jarkko Niemien, who became the first Finnish man to reach the quarters in a Grand Slam event with a 6-2, 7-6(6), 6-3 victory over Spain's Fernando Verdasco.
"I wouldn't wear it. But it made it a lot easier for me to beat him today." Hewitt said. "I just couldn't lose to a bloke wearing a shirt like that."
It was ladies night at Arthur Ashe Stadium, with No. 1 Maria Sharapova taking on fellow Russian and ninth-seeded Nadia Petrova, and fourth-seeded Kim Clijsters facing No. 10 Venus Williams.
Federer has hardly been tested in the Open — or this year, for that matter. He's 68-3, unbeaten since the French oneminials,
and has won 32 straight matches on hard courts — moving him ahead of Ivan Lendl and behind only Pete Sampras in the Open era. Federer can break Sampras' record if he wins the tournament.
But Federer looked vulnerable early against Kiefer, whom he'd already beaten three times this year. Federer's timing was off as he repeatedly hit shots a touch too long or dumped them into the net, and his game lacked its usual flair. He even tossed his racket once, a rare show of emotion on the court.
Federer finally returned to form in the third set. With the set tied 3-3, Kiefer reached double break point when Federer netted a forehand. But Federer rallied, drilling a 120-mph winner, then yelling "Come on!" after hitting a crosscourt pass to get the score back to deuce. Kiefer made two unforced errors as Federer closed out the game.
Federer broke Kiefer the next game, then served out the set as Kiefer slipped awkwardly racing for a shot in the corner on set point. Though Kiefer made him work for
the final set, Federer seemed more like himself with dazzling shots no one else can make.
Maybe it's the proximity to the Garment District, but the Open seems to be the spot for fashion statements. Three years ago, Tommy Haas was ordered to change after he showed up in a sleeveless muscle shirt. Now, of course, all the kids are wearing them.
Serena Williams showed up in a zip-down, stop-at-the-thighs black Lycra outfit a few years back, and sported knee-high black boots, a pleated denim miniskirt and a studded black tank top last year.
This year, it was Hrbaty's shirt causing the stir. The black-and-pink shirt looks ordinary from the front. On the back, though, there are oval-shaped cutouts — "fly-holes." Hewitt called them — below each shoulder that look like a peekaboo bra. Or as if the shirt had gotten caught on his head
"I don't really know what the design means," Hrbaty said. "The shirt itself is actually nice. You don't sweat as much. Also, you don't feel the heat that much."

THE MASKED AVENGERS Jill and Beth got more crack than what they asked for.
Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2005. You have an unusually positive attitude this year, which helps you gain more of what you want. You also have a way of expressing yourself that could make money for you. Work on this talent. Your more possessive side emerges with loved ones. Learn to talk through problems, and you'll find that your relationships in general will benefit. Don't stand on ceremony with others. Reach out to others. If you are single, you certainly are desirable, and others let you know it.

OBITUARY
'Gilligan actor dies at 70
THE ASSOICATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed
yesterday. He was 70.
MERCEDES
Denver died Friday at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina of complications from treatment he was receiving for cancer, his agent, Mike Eisenstadt, told The Associated Press. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."
Denver had also undergone quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year.
Denver
Denver's wife, Dreama, and his children Patrick, Megan, Emily and Colin were with him when he died.
"He was my everything and I will love him forever," Dreama Denver said in a statement.
Denver's signature role was Gilligan. But he was already known to TV audiences for another iconic character, that of Maynard G. Krebs, the bearded beatnik friend of Dwayne Hickman's Dobie in the "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," which aired from 1959 to 1963.
"Gilligan's Island" lasted on CBS from 1964 to 1967, and it was revived in later seasons with three high-rated TV movies. It was a Robinson Crusoe story about seven disparate travelers who are marooned on a deserted Pacific Island after their small boat was wrecked in a storm.
the cast: Alan Hale Jr., as Skipper Jonas Grumby; Bob Denver, as his klutzy assistant Gilligan; Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer, as rich snobs Thurston and Lovey Howell; Tina Louise, as bosomy movie star Ginger Grant; Russell Johnson, as egghead science professor Roy Hinkley Jr.; and Dawn Wells, as sweet-natured farm girl Mary Ann Summers.
TV critics hooted at "Gilligan's Island" as gag-ridden corn. Audiences adored its far-out comedy.
PH
Writer-creator Sherwood Schwartz insisted that the show had social meaning along with the laughs.

Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was pleased with the defensive effort of his team. The Jayhawks had 50 digs and 11 blocks as a unit.
"Two and a half games were really clean." Bechard said.
The third game was a different story. The Jayhawks' serving was sloppy, and they struggled to put the Billikens away.
"We were a little uneven there in game three," Bechard said. "I thought at the key times our serving was good, but we're still a little below where we want to be."
Brown focused more on the Kansas team effort after the game.
Sophomore opposite hitter and setter Emily Brown had one of her best matches as a Jayhawk. She finished with 11 kills, 15 digs and three total blocks.

"I felt like we played really well as a team," Brown said. "We accomplished goals we set at the beginning of the season."

"Sometimes you get lucky," Caten said, laughing. "Every ball I hit was falling."

The Kansas victory kicked off a six-match homestand. This weekend the Jayhawks will play host to Virginia Commonwealth, Michigan State and Temple in the Pizza Hut Jayhawk Invitational.

Green had games last year that showcased his potential. He rushed for 118 yards on 32 carries against Missouri in last season's finale.
"When he has pressure on him and he has to get it done, he gets it done," Mangino said.
Green's 5.3 yard-per-rush average Saturday helped the offense get into a groove in the second half.
Junior captain and center David Ochoa said he enjoyed blocking for Green.

"Whenever he gets the ball, he is going to run as hard as he can."
Ochoa said. "Whenever we call on him for pass protection, we know he is going to block."
Ochoa and the offensive line did a great job opening holes for Green Saturday, Mangino said.
Green said, "They did a good job producing the running game and the passing game," Green said
"Their defensive line did a lot of twists. We did a good job of picking up on that."
When Green needed a break, junior running back Jon Cornish was there. Cornish had two big runs for first downs, including a 29-yard touchdown run where he appeared to be tackled, but barreled over defenders into the end zone.
"Running backs routinely get hit by everyone, and dishing it back to the defense is always a great thing to do," Cornish said.
Green could pass L.T. Levine Saturday against Appalachian State for seventh all time on the Kansas rushing list. He needs just 51 yards to pass Levine.
"When it gets here, that's when it comes," Green said of moving up the rushing list. "You all can ask me about it. I am not counting."

When Katie Young learned yesterday that she had been voted to the fifth and final seat in the freshman Student Senate elections, she didn't even know where to go for her first meeting.
The Derby freshman said she was amazed she had won because 30 other freshmen were running, the most to campaign since Senate held elections for freshmen three years ago.
Young and the four other winners then went to work and attended a meeting last night with the elections chairman to get ready for their first Senate committee meeting as senators.

Luke Thompson, Lawrence junior and elections chairman, reported in an e-mail he sent to all the candidates that 653 people voted in the elections. He said he was impressed with the number of freshmen who ran and voted.
Bill Walberg, another winner, said being new to the University forced him to meet people. That process helped start his campaign.

Ron Wroczynski sells a hotdog to Casey Parr, Topeka junior, on Wescoe beach yesterday. Wroczynski, a supervisor for the KU Memorial Unions, brought the cart out for the first time this semester to sell hot dogs, bratwursts and drinks. He said he would try to bring the cart to Wescoe Beach twice a month, every other Wednesday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. So far business has been "not too bad," Wroczynski said. Carlos Stephens, Seattle junior, said the cart was convenient because he could get a hotdog while he was on the go. "It also gives Wescoe Beach a different flavor; a Coney Island thing," Stephens said. Hot dogs and drinks cost $1 each. A bratwurst costs $2.

The tires of 17 vehicles were slashed Friday in the parking lot of Delta Chi fraternity, 1245 West Campus Road. The damage was the most recent incident in a rash of vandalism at fraternity houses this year.
Josh Stewart, president of Delta Chi and Lawrence junior, said sometime between 3:30 and
"My biggest concern was that we had guys that needed to drive to jobs and go home for the weekend," Stewart said.
Stewart said he didn't know who committed the crimes but that police were investigating the incident.
Most of the tires have been replaced, but some of the members who did not have spare tires needed their cars towed. Stewart said.
8:30 a.m. each of the vehicles had one to three tires slashed.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said that criminal damage reports from fraternities were not uncommon at the beginning of the semester because fraternity members often play pranks on members of other chapters. But Scott Shorten, president of the Interfraternity Council, said that the recent vandalism is too damaging to be considered a prank.

In Robert Hemenway's 10 years as chancellor, his impact at the University of Kansas is apparent. He has overseen his share of changes, and while his decisions have been met with both agreement and dissent, he continues to set aggressive goals.
One of Hemenway's most publicized goals is to turn the University into a top-25 public
university. He said that to achieve this goal, the University would likely need to adopt a more selective admissions policy.
In an interview last week, Hemenway listed two more goals he'd like to achieve in the near future.
One is a review of the general education program, which the 'University has been talking about for a couple of years. General education consists of the common classes students

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — In the federal fraud trial of two former Westar Energy Inc. executives, the jury will begin its seventh day of deliberations today.
Former Westar chief executive David Wittig and former strategy officer Douglas Lake face 40 counts, including conspiracy and money laundering.

Law school admits displaced students
The University of Kansas School of Law admitted three students from New Orleans-area law schools.
When Tulane University and Loyola University released the students, the students contacted the University about enrolling in the law program.
The students — Christine Begerone, Becky Mann and Claire Samuels — are classified as visiting students. Any credits earned at the University will transfer back to their previous schools.
All three students have Kansas ties.

Film event ready to replay
Festival returns for fourth year
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dan Hughes was ecstatic when he attended a trade show in Salt Lake City and watched outdoor-themed films at a theater that served beer. Eventually, Hughes brought the experience to Kansas.
Now that film festival, the Banff Mountain Film Festival, will come to Lawrence for its fourth consecutive year Friday and Saturday at Liberty Hall. The festival will feature 14 films on rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, skiing and more.
Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, said that even though the adrenaline films were a huge draw, the cultural films were the ones people talked about for weeks after the festival.
The festival is hosted by Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., and also
serves as a benefit event for the KU Rock Climbing Club. Hughes said more than 600 people attended the event last year
Shane Barber, Lindsborg junior and vice president of the KU Rock Climbing Club, said that last year Sunflower donated $250 to the club. He said the money went toward rock-climbing gear and climbing trips.
The actual Banff Mountain Film Festival takes place in the city of Banff, located in Alberta, Canada. Started in 1976, the annual event, held the first weekend of November, features 55 films. The festival's Web site, www.banffmountainfestivals.ca, bills it as a celebration of "mountain culture."
Although Lawrence is one of the last stops on the tour, Hughes said that was the best way to do it.
Starting in March, a selection of the best films entered in the festival go on a North American tour to more than 185 cities.
"We picked to be in the fall because we receive feedback from the people in charge of the festival about films that have gone over well but that we might not have chosen," Hughes said.

The assailant reportedly raped her in an alley that is east of Massachusetts Street, west of Delaware Street, south of 10th Street and north of 15th Street, Ward said. The victim reported the alleged rape from her residence, Ward said. A Lawrence police officer drove her to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, he said. She had minor injuries, he said. The location she walked from was unclear and she was thought to be under the influence of alcohol, Ward said. Anyone with information should call 843-TIPS.

Geoff Pye, senior veterinarian at the San Diego Zoo, measures the zoo's five-week-old panda cub yesterday. Pye said he was amazed at how quickly the cub was gaining the round belly of a giant panda and that the cub had increased her weight by more than one pound in a week. The female cub weighed 3.29 pounds and measured 1.3 feet from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail, a three-inch increase since last week. The cub was born Aug. 2 at the zoo's Giant Panda Research Station birthing den.

Rachel Burchfield, Topeka freshman, finished 22nd in the voting. She said that although she was disappointed she wasn't elected, she was glad she had ran. She said the process of gathering signatures to get her name on the ballot gave her the opportunity to meet new people. She was so busy in her sorority that she didn't have enough time to campaign to win a spot, Burchfield said

must complete before entering a professional school or choosing a major. He said he would likely form a task force to improve the general education of students at the University.
"We want to ask, 'Are we accomplishing all the goals we want to accomplish in general education?' Hemenway said.
Hemenway also said he'd like to do a better job of preparing students for a global economy, noting that other countries are catching up with the United States technologically.
Hemenway's third goal is to improve the funding for biosciences and life sciences. Though research funding overall has increased from $94 million in 1995 to $274 million last year, he said he'd like to have more money for those subjects.
When Hemenway arrived at the University, one of his goals was to increase minority enrollment. When he arrived, 9.4 percent of students were minorities. That number rose slightly to 11.6 percent last year.
"I'm pleased we've made some strides. We've added some faculty of color, but I think we can do much better. We have the highest
efit minorities, Pierotti said.
enrollment of students of color that we've ever had," said Hemenway, who is an African-American literature scholar and wrote a biography on black writer Zora Neale Hurston in 1978. Even though Hemenway has helped increase minority enrollment, Ray Pierotti, associate professor of indigenous studies and ecology and evolutionary biology, said Hemenway has not always succeeded in treating minorities fairly.
"I think his heart is in the right place," said Pierotti, who came to the University in 1992.
Pierotti, a Native American who lost a discrimination lawsuit against the University in 2000, said that Hemenway's administration has been less receptive to grievances than he would like. Pierotti filed the lawsuit with his wife, Cynthia Annett, because they believed that Annett was denied tenure and Pierotti was removed from his position as chairman of the department of ecology and evolutionary biology's minority affairs committee partially based on gender and race discrimination.
Andy Peterson, who has worked at the University as a landscaper for
the last four years, said Hemenway was responsive to his less-controversial grips.
"If you've got a complaint, he listens," said Peterson. "All you've got to do is e-mail him. He's good about complimenting us when campus looks good."
For many students, Hemenway is an invisible force at the University, a man they see speaking at an occasional event but don't feel a close connection to. But this is an inevitable problem at a university with an enrollment close to 30,000 people.
"What I'd like to see is more activities at his house, like coming to
eat with him, to get to know him a little more," Clayton Holmes, Wichita sophomore, said. "I've seen him before, I shook his hand, but I don't know who the chancellor is."
Hemenway, 64, says that he has no plans to retire in the next few years. But when he turns 70, he says he might step down as chancellor but continue to teach English.
"The regents have asked me my plans, and I said my plan was to go till I am 70," Hemenway said. "As long as I'm in good health, I don't see why that wouldn't be a proper goal."

What in the world
Flipping through the news channels, I see only one kind of news, and that is — you guessed it — Hurricane Katrina. Thanks to this natural phenomenon, it seems that lately the rest of the world has disappeared.
Even when there are no natural disasters troubling the United States, Americans seem to care more about the latest miracle weight loss pill than the 4,000 people in Ukraine potentially dying because of radioactivity.
This disinterest in the rest of the world is made more evident when a disaster occurs in U.S. territory. I am not saying that Katrina isn't an enormous tragedy. People affected should be helped as soon as possible.
But to look at the situation from a global point of view, natural disasters happen all the time in countries where students do not have the privilege of transferring to a different college because theirs' is flooded.
In Indonesia, a country struck by the tsunami last year, the gross domestic product is $827.4 billion, according to the CIA's World Fact Book, while the United States' is

$11.75 trillion.
$11.75 billion.
By looking at these numbers,
it is easy to realize the advantage
the United States has in order
to recuperate from such a disaster.
Newspapers, including our own the University Daily Kansas, seem to portray that because American citizens are not involved in a disaster, the event somehow matters less. That is why we do not hear about events such as the genocide in Rwanda where 800,000 Tutsis died.
What makes a tragedy a tragedy? Is it the fact that we know about it, or is it because it's occurring in our world?
Just this week, the British Broadcasting Network reported that 14 immigrants died in a fire in Paris. This is only the latest in a series of fires in the Paris area involving immigrants.
Two days ago, 190 people died in a plane crash in Indonesia, and five Islamic militants were killed by Syrian troops in an environment that has killed more than 1,000 people in Afghanistan this year.
It does not require much effort; students have immediate access to the Internet and national newspapers on campus. Reading the international section of any newspaper will make students well-rounded and aware human beings.
Yes, this is what is happening around the world: deaths that you do not hear about on TV. Tragedies that involve people outside of the United States who, just like the dead in New Orleans, had parents, children, friends and a story to tell.
If the information doesn't easily come to you, seek out the information somewhere else.
As a person with the privilege to attend a university, make sure you are informed, not only of what affects Lawrence but also of what is happening in the rest of the world.

How to cheer at games 101
It was impressive how we the students were excited and loud before and throughout a part of KU's football home opener Saturday against Florida Atlantic.
Yet, when the Hawks really could have used us we didn't do our job.
Yes, it was hot. Yes, the team was struggling a little bit. Yes, the game wasn't exactly action packed and down to the last second thrilling. Still none of these excuses are valid.
Many of us left the game when it was still close. Many of us decided we were simply too tired and sat down during the actual game.
Noise factor was a problem as well. When we really needed to be loud Saturday
I know we are a basketball school, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for football. This year's team has a lot of potential and is going to surprise people.
I'm not talking about during timeouts either. (Feel free to sit down and rest during timeouts, but be back on your feet before the first play starts). Could you imagine seeing students sitting down for one second in a one-point game in basketball at Allen Fieldhouse?
REID PETTY opinion@kansan.com
we simply weren't. There were times when there was no noise at all when FAU had the ball.
Also, third downs aren't the only big downs. It should be loud each and every down. The crowd really can make a difference in a close game. The crowd sure played a big part in last year's thrilling victory over K-State.
If you didn't attend that game, the crowd noise caused them to use two timeoutes that they sure could have used near the end of the game. That's the kind of homefield advantage we need to create at Memorial Stadium.
There are times when there should be no noise. We were sometimes louder when our team had the ball then when they were on defense. This isn't basketball where the goal is to stay loud the whole game.
In football, we as fans actually do get a break, and that break comes when our side has the ball. I liked the
attempts by some to help when they were on offense by chanting "Lets Go Jayhawks", with claps following, but save the positive energy for when we're on defense.
The offense needs silence when they take the field so they can hear if the quarterback has to audible and change the play, or communicate with other players who aren't standing right by him.
I know these things don't apply to everyone and don't take this the wrong way, but these are important things that could make the difference in a victory or loss.
Teams really thrive off the crowd. Ask any one of our players and they will tell you the crowd really does make a difference.
From now on, let's be our own team in the stands and work together and make it a point to fill the student section at Memorial Stadium for the entire game, and make it a hostile environment that our opponents won't want to come back too.
I'll see you Saturday against Appalachian State. Rock Chalk Chalky hawk!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Director of athletics, coaches thank students for enthusiasm
On behalf of our coaches and football student-athletes, I want to thank you for your terrific support at Saturday's football game vs. Florida Atlantic.
Dear student body:
are truly our 12th man!
You came early — in very large numbers — you stayed late, you were loud, and many of you showed your true colors by wearing Kansas blue. You
That's just the kind of support our football team will need as we progress through the season.
We hope you enjoyed yourselves, and we hope you continue to come out to Memorial Stadium to cheer on the Jayhawks.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the game against Appalacian State at Memorial this Saturday at 6 p.m.
Thanks again, students, and Rock Chalk Jajhawk!

If you are attached, you love going out together as a couple. You get reacquainted.

Rowling battles piracy
BY HILLEL ITALIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Break out your iPods: Harry Potter is going digital.
J. K. Rowling, once publishing's greatest holdout against the computer age, has made all six Potter novels available for audio downloads. In a message posted yesterday on her Web site, Rowling said she was concerned about online piracy, included bootleg editions for which the original text was altered.
"Many Harry Potter fans have been keen for digital access for a while, but the deciding factor for me in authorizing this new version is that it will help combat the growing incidents of piracy in this area," Rowling wrote.
"There have been a number of incidents where fans have stumbled upon unauthorized files believing them to be genuine and, quite apart from the fact that they are illegal, the Harry Potter content of these can bear very little resemblance to anything I've ever written!"
BOOKS
The digital audiobooks are being released by the Random House Audio Trade Group, her current audio publisher. They can be purchased through Apple's iTunes store for prices ranging from $32.95 for a single book to $249 for the whole series, which, according to Random House, includes a "full color digital booklet" and "previously unreleased readings" by Rowling.

Neil Blair, a lawyer with Rowling's literary agency, said yesterday that there were no current plans for Potter e-books.
"It's very exciting that an audiobook both critically acclaimed and commercially successful is finally available to the very broad audience of people who enjoy downloading," said association president Mary Beth Roche.
Helped by the iPod boom, digital audiobooks are already one of publishing's hottest sectors, with sales nearly quadrupling between 2001 and 2003, to more than $18 million, according to the Audio Publishers Association.
Rowling's fantasy series, most recently "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," has sold more than 200 copies worldwide in print editions and more than 5 million as audiobooks, narrated by Grammy winner Jim Dale. But up to now the author had only permitted paper and traditional audio releases, making her work a favorite for online pirates, although illegal sales are believed to be relatively tiny.

Editor's Note: Every Thursday
Kansas senior sportwriter Daniel
Bark will give updates on the Big
12 Conference.
Texas in spotlight
Early Season Test
The game of the week this weekend will be Texas at Ohio State. The Longhorns will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to do battle with the Buckeyes for the first time in the schools' histories
Texas enters the game ranked second in the coaches poll, and Ohio State enters the game ranked fourth in the country.
texas football coach Mack Brown said Ohio State would be a difficult opponent, but his team would be up for the challenge.
After dropping their first game of the year, the Oklahoma
"This is a fun week in Texas," Brown said. "We are excited about going up to play at Ohio State. Ohio State won 22 of its last 23 home games and has never lost at night, so it will be a challenge. This is a great test for us and a great challenge for the Big 12 and Big 10 Conferences."
Ohio State opened its season last week with a 34-14 win over Miami of Ohio. Texas was also victorious in week one, defeating Louisiana-Lafayette 60-3.
New quarterback in Norman
Sooners made a quarterback change. Junior quarterback Paul Thompson got the starting rod last week, but will be the backup this weekend, when Oklahoma plays host to Tulsa.
Rhett Bormar, a freshman who took a redshirt last season, will start in Thompson's place. Thompson went 11 for 26 in completions, accumulating 109 yards and throwing one interception against TCU last week. Bormar saw limited action.
Sophomore running back Adrian Peterson struggled last week, nushing the ball 22 times for 63 yards. It had been reported that Peterson suffered a high ankle sprain during the TCU game, but Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said Peterson was fine and walking early in the week.
Smith returns to old form
Missouri senior quarterback Brad Smith was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after he threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns in a 44-17 win over Arkansas State. Smith also rushed the ball 12 times for 95 yards.
Smith became the third quarterback in NCAA history to have over 6,000 yards passing and over 3,000 rushing yards in his career. Smith ranks second in the Big 12
with 9,895 total yards gained in his career. Former Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury is first with 12,263 yards
Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said he was pleased with Smith's first game."Brad Smith had been waiting for this game since last January, and there was no guy in our camp who wanted to get back on the field and get respect for the team than Brad," Pinkel said.
Missouri will take on New Mexico at home on Saturday, but will do it without junior linebacker Marcus Bacon. Bacon was suspended indefinitely following an arrest last weekend for driving while intoxicated.
Early wake up call
Kansas State will travel to Huntington, W. Va., to take on Marshall Saturday. The' game will be on ESPN 2 at 9:30 a.m.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said the coaches have been trying to get things accomplished quickly for the early start time. Snyder said this would be the earliest game he had ever coached.
The Wildcats enter the game 1-0 following a 35-21 victory over Florida International last Saturday.

MLB
Suspension cut in half for coach
Duncan served the final game of his two-game ban in the finale of a three-game series with the Cubs last night. He missed Friday's game as well.
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan had a four-game suspension for his part in a scuffle with Pirates hitting coach Gerald Perry cut in half yesterday.
tion in the commissioner's office, heard Duncan's appeal. Duncan said he was suspended "for getting punched."
"I still think it's excessive, but I appreciate them reconsidering and listening to what I had to say," Duncan said.
John McHale Jr., executive vice president of administra-
Duncan also was unhappy that a $1,000 fine was not reduced.
"I thought it was an awfully big fine for what involvement I had," Duncan said. "I thought it was an excessive fine. Realistically, if you equate players' salaries vs. coaches' salaries, it's pretty significant."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL Missouri linebacker faces DUI charges
Missouri officials cited disciplinary reasons for the suspension. Bacon was the Tigers' leading tackler with eight tackles in Saturday's win.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri linebacker Marcus Cuson has been suspended indefinitely following his weekend arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Spokesman Chad Moller said there was no timetable for Bacon's return.

Cornish steps up in opener
The Kansas football team didn't show much offensive firepower in its opener against Florida Atlantic, who Sports Illustrated ranked as the third worst Division I team.
But there were a few bright spots on the offensive side of the ball. The player that turned the most heads Saturday was junior running back Jon Cornish, who has spent more time in coach Mark Mangino's doghouse than on the field during his career as a lajhawk.
(What evidence do you have to prove that?)
to prove that. Cornish ran for 45 yards on only four carries. Kansas' starting tailback, senior Clark Green, had a serviceable game, running for 107 yards. Green is a guy that drives and will run for four to five yards on every carry. He looked lighter on his feet Saturday and appeared to have stayed away from the Krispy Kremes during the off-season.
But Green still lacks speed and is not going to bust the big one, as Cornish showed he could do with his fourth quarter 27-yard touchdown. Cornish's fourth-quarter run was the play of the day on Saturday. He also dropped some jaws with his second-quarter run, where he collided with FAU safety Kris Bartels and dropped Bartels like a bad habit.
C.J. MOORE

Hopefully Cornish caught Mangino's attention on Saturday. Kansas' offense pretty much stunk out loud against FAU. With his inaccurate passing and poor decision-making, starting quarterback Adam Barmann guaranteed himself a prime spot
senior quarterback Brian Luke threw the ball better than Barmann, but his receivers, with the exception of sophomore tight end Derek Fine, looked less than stellar. The equipment manager needs to look into purchasing the receivers new gloves, preferably sticky ones.
on the sideline for the rest of the season.
With a passing game that won't be much better than last season's, the offense is going to need big plays from the running game. Cornish can deliver long runs and deserves more carries. He has the combination of speed, size, power and elusiveness that all great running backs possess.
Cornish may lack experience, but these next two games against cupcake opponents are the times for him to get experience. The reason it has taken Cornish so long to
get on the field is that he hails from Canada, which isn't exactly football country. Cornish was behind the learning curve when he arrived in Lawrence, but now he is ready to contribute.
Green is a solid back. He should remain the starter, but the offense will benefit in the long run if Green and Cornish share the running responsibilities 50-50.
It's no secret that the reason the Jayhawks were unable to hold leads in the fourth quarter last season was that the defense spent too much time on the field. With Green and Cornish, the KU offense has two solid backs that can eat up clock and rack up yards.

Cornish picked he's for real Saturday. Now give him the damn ball.

Mangino did not announce who his starting quarterback would be for Saturday's game against Appalachian State. He said it would be a game-time decision. Mangino said junior wide receiver Jonathan Lamb would miss significant time because of an injury.

Although he has the skills of a guard, the 6-foot-8 Downs will most likely play at the small forward position for the Kansas offense.
"He has a lot of bounce and he can shoot and he is really a skilled player," Self said.
The biggest knock on Downs' game is that he's too thin, and of course, too quiet.
At 190 pounds, Downs knows he has to get stronger if he wants to earn minutes during the physical Big 12 conference games. When he came to Kansas this summer, he weighed about 180 pounds, but he worked hard in the weight room to add muscle. Eating his favorite meal of fried chicken and mashed potatoes probably didn't hurt either.
"The biggest thing about Michah will be how he can adjust to a stronger more physical game because he is such a thin kid." Self said. "With strength comes better defense, better rebounding, those sorts of things. He wants to be a player. He just has to get stronger."
Self would also like to see Downs get more aggressive. He said Downs' passive personality was reflected a great deal in his game.
gamie.
"Probably too much so," Self said. "I think Micah is not as aggressive as he should be on the court. I think he turns down open shots, I think he doesn't play with the tenacity that he needs to play with consistently. But I also think part of that is just his personality and how he has played."
As Downs becomes more comfortable off the court he will become more assertive on it, Self said.
Downs met all of the players on his visit to Kansas in May 2004, so he said he felt welcomed right away. A devoted Christian, Downs said he sometimes had long talks with Christian Moody and Stephen Vinson about their faith.
"I have a relationship with
everyone on the team," Downs said. "But I have a lot in common with those guys."
He doesn't like to go out, so Downs spends time hanging out with his teammates over competitive games of NCAA Football 2006 on PlayStation 2.
"I like to, you know, just do what guys do," Downs said. "Sit around, play video games and talk friendly trash."
He is a little homesick and he misses his girlfriend of almost a year, Natanya. But he said he had enough to keep him busy until the season gets here.
"I have always wanted to go to Hawaii," Downs said. "That will be a blast."
Right now, he sports an orthopedic boot on his left foot — he suffered a minor sprain to his left ankle at one of last week's practices — but Downs said he was eager to get the season started. A trip to Maui to face Arizona in Kansas' fourth game of the season will be an early test for the freshman.
and games though. The Jayhawks are stacked with young talent at the guard position, and with the addition of Brandon Rush, Downs now has one more person to battle for minutes. Self said that the competition would help get the freshmen involved early in the season.

He knows it won't all be fun
That will be important for a team that has lost its top four leading scorers from last season.
minutes. Downs likes the challenge. Self has told him there will be ups and downs this season with such a young team, but Downs has his goals in focus.
"I think all of the freshmen will have an impact on our team, but there is going to be some competition for those guys." Self said. "Nobody is going to roll over and say to another guy. 'OK, hey, these are your minutes.'"

His intensity and energy is what Kemp's teammates know him for. Kevin Kane, senior linebacker, said Kemp's energy rubbed off on the other defensive players.
Kemp
"He's a linebacker in the secondary," Kane said. "He likes to run around and hit people. It's a great feeling to watch him come out of the defensive backfield and lay somebody out."
Although Kemp had a solid first game, it came with mistakes that he said he knew could be corrected.
Mangino said he wasn't worried about Kemp's mistakes.
In the third quarter of Saturday's game, Florida Atlantic connected on a 42-yard pass to the receiver Kemp was defending.
Kemp eventually made the tackle on the receiver, and Florida Atlantic's drive came to a halt inside the Kansas 20-yard line after a fumble.
"He had a few mistakes, but they are all correctable," Mangino said. "He just has to settle down and be assignment-sound all the time."
Other than the 42-yard pass, Florida Atlantic also connected on a pair of 66-yard touchdown passes over other players in the secondary.
Kemp said he wished that hadn't happened, but he knew the secondary could make adjustments for Saturday's game against Appalachian State.
"We made a few mistakes, but it happens," Kemp said. "We need to pay more attention to detail and be more fundamentally sound. Everyone knows the plays and their assignments, so I think it will work out."
Kemp said he still felt as if people doubted him and his abilities.
"There are a lot of people that aren't sure about me," Kemp said. "I want to prove to people that I can play."

Webb adds strength

Sophomore place kicker Scott Webb has always been known for his accuracy, but his power is what had fans turning their heads last Saturday.
Webb drilled a career long 43-yard field goal, and all six of his kickoffs sailed into the end zone, including one that split the uprights.
"He's had a great offseason in the weight room and is much stronger than he was a year ago," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "That is pretty obvious when you see him kick the ball. It's got some distance to it and some height and the kick-offs are strong too."
oars are strong. Mangino credited Webb's distance to the offseason conditioning program in which Webb participated just like any other player.
"They lift, squat, and run and do the same exact out-of-season programs as the linebackers, fullback and the receivers," Mangino said.
"It is just that I have become more consistent with my distance," he said. "Sometimes I had trouble consistently hitting distance. I think I have gotten better
Webb said part of the reason he had been more successful was because he was more comfortable on the field and had an extra year of experience. The 43-yarder that Webb hit on Saturday probably would have fallen short last year, but Webb doesn't feel that is because his distance has improved from a year ago.
at the range and accuracy."
at the range and accuracy.
Last season, Webb only kicked extra points and short field goals and was perfect on 29 for 29 of those attempts. After the departure of former kicker Johnny Beck, Webb has been given all field goal duties as well as kickoff responsibilities. There is little competition for Webb's starting spot.
Mangino recruited Webb out of Tuba, Okla., and was impressed with his abilities in high school.
"I like competition," he said. "I miss Johnny Beck, he is a great guy. He made me better. But it was real fun to get out there with no competition, that's for sure." Webb said.

Frosh QB's heart treated
Syndrome uncovered in health test
BY RYAN COLIAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino announced yesterday that freshman quarterback Kerry Meier had been cleared to practice without restrictions beginning on Monday.
The team's medical staff determined Meier has Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a disorder that affects the electrical system of the heart. Mangino said.
Meier went to the hospital Friday for a non-surgical procedure.
"I would be lying if I told you it wasn't an awfully tense day here on Friday," Mangino said. "We are playing our first game the next day and we are all concerned about Kerr."
Meier returned to the hospital Tuesday for another test, but another procedure wasn't necessary. Mangino said.
"Monday he will be back with football, which he loves to do," Mangino said.
The Meiers were grateful for the positive outcome, they said in a statement released after Mangino's announcement.
"As we have learned, both the physical and the mental heart of an athlete is God's most precious gift." the Meiers said.
The syndrome was detected during health tests all first-year

Mangino said Meier hadn't shown any signs of the disease before the tests.
"The doctors were very confident and he was worked on by en excellent staff. He was in very good care, a very good team of doctors," Mangino said.
In the spring of 2004, Mangino implemented a policy requiring all incoming players to receive an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram.
"We are also very appreciative of the efforts by the University of Kansas, Coach Mangino, the athletic training staff, coaches and doctors to insure that our student athletes are screened and tested to discover conditions that may otherwise go undetected," the Meier family said.
Mangino said he required these tests because of the health incidents — some fatal athletes have faced around the country.

Freshman adjusts to new teammates
Downs shows fellow players quiet nature
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
Almost everything about Micah Downs is quiet — from the way his eyes hang low when he's introduced to someone for the first time, to the way he talks, just above a whisper.
Downs could easily go unnoticed in a large crowd or in the classroom, but on the hardwood, he is hard to miss.
Put him behind a three-point arc and tell him to shoot a basketball and it's apparent Downs will be one of the jayhawks' best shooters this season. Invite him
"When I'm not working out, I am just kind of lazy," he said. "I like to lay around and watch TV and take a lot of naps."

to hit the town-on Friday night and he'll probably say he would prefer to stay home and watch "Friday Night Lights."
Next thing he knew, he heard a roar of laughter, a door slam and two sets of footsteps running down the hall. Typical. It was just fellow freshman basketball players Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright playing another one of their practical iokes with Downs as victim.
Downs is the easiest one to pick on, Chalmers and Wright said.
"If you do something to Micah, he just gets mad," Chalmers said. "But if I mess with Julian, I know he is going to try to get me back."
Downs really didn't say much about it the next day. Wright said.
"Probably, just because he is so quiet," Wright said. "Really the only time Micah says anything is when we've messed with him."
His teammates might not be so quick to mess with him on the court. Not only does Downs have an impressive jump shot, but Kansas coaches are impressed with his ability to create his own shot and get his teammates involved with his passing ability.
A McDonald's All-American, Downs averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds during his senior season at Juanita High School in Kirkland, Wash.

Team Redell tops Delta Chi One

hrrelf@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
A slow offensive start by Delta Chi One was too much for the team to overcome as they fell to Team Redell by a score of 13-7 on Tuesday at Shenk Sports Complex.
Both teams played hard, but in the end, Team Redell had the offense required to come out with the victory. The first half was a defensive battle as both teams were held scoreless. Team Redell's quarterback, Sean Anderson, Overland Park senior, had many long passes to move the ball down the field but could not convert the drives into points. At the end of the first
half, Team Redell drove down the field but was stopped short of scoring when the defense knocked a pass down in the end zone. Team Redell came out strong in the second half. The team had an impressive drive down the field that involved multiple lateral passes. That drive led to a touchdown pass from Anderson to Bronson Eldridge, Kansas City, Kan., junior.
Team Redell was not done scoring. Anderson marched the team down the field and threw a touchdown pass to Joel Dreiling, Overland Park senior. The team converted the extra point when Anderson found Casey Wright, Overland Park senior in the end zone.
Delta Chi One was not about to give up. The team fired back with its own
Delta Chi One thought it had a chance to beat Team Redell in the closing minutes when Charlie Black, Overland Park senior, intercepted a pass from Team Ridell. But before they could even the score, time expired and Team Redell celebrated the victory. After the game, Wright and Team Redell said they were ready to take on the Kansas football team.
scoring drive that included a touchdown pass by quarterback Lance Mall. Clay Center sophomore, to Mike Jevons, Manhattan senior. Mall ran in the extra point to pull within a touchdown.
"Team Redell, Memorial Stadium, be there," Wright said.

Answer: Discipline determination and athleticism.
Question: What are three things I would never be accused of having?
Another question that would garner the same response is "What does it take to be successful as a member of ROTC here at KU?"
M. S. KHAN
Ever since I was eight years
old and my uncle Bob came home from his tour of duty in the first Iraq war, I've held military folks in the highest of reverence, if for no other reason that I was sure they could all kick the crap out of me. When he got home, my uncle showed me pictures he had taken of oil fires and of the Iraqi desert. Then, when my mom wasn't looking he showed me a photo of himself, gun drawn, keeping guard over a makeshift, barbed-wire holding area for Iraqi prisoners. Wow, I thought, what a badass! What a man!
This week, Anja Winikka, my boss and Jayplay editor profiles an ROTC student here (who I am sure can kick the crap out of me), well on her way to achieve that same level of bad-assedness. And she's no man.
Meanwhile, Kelsie Smith offers you a crash course in Brewing 101, perhaps providing you with a permanan refuge from that case of Natty Light.

And if you have time, turn to the inside-back cover to find out why I couldn't stop thinking about Wescoe Hall and crossword puzzles as I toured the great cathedrals and museums of Europe.

Becoming a brewmeister
With a little patience, you too can enter the ranks of the ale elite.
By Kelsie Smith, Jayplay writer
Hey, you - put down that Pabst Blue Ribbon. Seriously, you can do better.
Yeah, we know. It's cheap, and you're poor. But since that beer belly already proves guzzling Budweiser has quickly become your favorite extracurricular activity post-high school graduation, you really could afford moving on to better brews.
Home beer brewing is an increasingly popular pastime and, although challenging, leaves you with a finished product you just can't get from a can. So force yourself away from that Kwik Shop cooler tempting you with cheap cases of Keystone Light and take a new approach: Quality over quantity.
OK, catch your breath. No one is saying you toss the cheap stuff completely, but give something new a try, attempt to learn why it is that this stuff tastes so good. First you have to understand what beer really is. Sounds silly, but really, do you know what's in there?
According to Brew Your Own magazine's Web site, www.byo.com, beer is simply a fermented, alcoholic beverage. It has four main ingredients, although many types of fruits and nuts can be used in the brewing process to add various flavors: water, malt, flowers called hops (didn't know they were flowers, did you?) and yeast.
Now your first time brewing might seem a bit overwhelming. You'll want to set aside an hour to make sure you don't rush things, so you'll have ample time to follow the equipment sanitization processes, which is really the only part of home brewing that can prove to be tricky. It's essential, though, because if your equipment isn't properly sterilized the bacteria on it can mar the taste of your batch of beer.
Once you have finished the initial brewing stages, fermentation (you can stick your beer in a closet for this part) and bottle conditioning time add up to about four weeks, but don't let that stop you. Rob Dewwhirst, president of the Lawrence Brewer's Guild, promises it will all be worth it in the end.
"Homebrewed beer typically has a lot more flavor than beer bought in the store," Dewhirst says. "For one thing, it's something you've created. It's not something that mass produced. Just like any other things that you ingest, you have far more control over it."
Brewing basics
Dewwhirst insists that all a determined person needs to brew beer is a big pot, a stove, a clean bucket, a hose and the ingredients, of course. A little patience also helps. But Dewwhirst admits that a good brew might come with, well, better equipment. He points to the Web site www.howtobrew.com, where an entire book on beer brewing is available to read and print out, for free.
The site, maintained by brew master John Palmer, suggests you have the following tools at your disposal: a 20-quart brew pot (large canning pot), a large stirring spoon (non-wood), an ordinary table spoon, a measuring cup (preferably Pyrex glass), a glass jar (at least 12 ounces), a fermentor (food-grade plastic bucket or glass carboy that you can get from a homebrew shop), an airlock (also found at homebrew shops), sanitizer (chlorine bleach or other) and a thermometer (optional but recommended).
Dewhirst says ingredients for a small batch of beer can be bought at a homebrew store for around $20.There are no such stores in Lawrence, so you'll have to jump on K-10.Check out Bacchus and Barleycorn in Lenexa or the Homebrew Pro Shop in Olathe.A host of online companies also sell beer brewing kits which contain all the supplies you need for anywhere from $60 and up.Web sites also sell ingredient kits for around $20 each.
Say it with me: san-i-tize
Once you get your stuff, there's one rule you have to promise you'll follow: be sanitary. Not clean, Dewhirst says, but not sterile, either. Sanitary. It's somewhere in between clean and sterile, he says. This is an especially important element for college students, who generally hold that if something is aesthetically free of grime, it must be clean enough. Not the case. Dewhirst says the typical kitchen might look clean, but is not devoid of organisms that spoil beer. The website, howtobrew.com gives detailed explanations on how to sanitize your brewing equipment. Check it out. Dewhirst says your beer will taste better as result.
So yeah, it takes a little time. Brewing your first batch will take about an hour, and you can't just walk away. Things need to be monitored, equipment needs to be cleaned and so forth.

BREWERY
Uh, this sounds hard
If all of this sounds great, but getting started seems too daunting a task, you have options. The Lawrence Brewers Guild holds meetings the second Thursday of every month. Visit their Web site www.lawrencebrewers.org for more information. The group puts together seminars and runs an e-mail list where members (dues are $18 a year and are pro-rated) and nonmembers are welcome to ask questions. And if you're one of those visual learners, Guild members often open up brewing sessions to an audience, so feel free to hit one of those up to learn how the veterans do things.
Dewhirst says the Guild, at about 35 members, is the biggest it's ever been. He says college students have been members in the past, but because it takes kitchen space, it can be tough for some students to find the room. You do, of course, have to be 21 in Kansas to brew beer. (Although Dewhirst points out that you can legally brew at 18 unless your state has a drinking age of 21+).
"It has become trendy," Dewhirst says of homebrewing's recent popularity surge. "I think it took a while to ramp up, but homebrewed beer is finally getting beyond the reputation of the stuff grandpa used to make that we just tolerated. The quality control was awful. In the last 10 years, there have been many many more yeast suppliers and you can get laboratory-grade yeast. People are finally developing an appreciation for beer like they have wine."
So come on, try it out. Become a beer snob.
If that's true, if beer is like wine, then PBR is like drinking merlot straight from the box. And you know you've moved beyond that.
The fantastic four The role of each ingredient
- Water—Tap water is perfectly fine to use - some famous brewing water has very high mineral content.
- Malt—Cereal grain (usually barley, but wheat and rye are other cereal grains) that is moistened will germinate and begin to sprout. The starch in the grain becomes "activated" at this time. But if you dry the grain to stop the sprouting, you have made malt. Malt, germinated then dried, is the heart of beer. It provides food for the yeast (maltose, a sugar); it lends body and color to the beer; and it gives beer its nutty, grain flavor. For your first batch of beer, avoid using non-malt fermentables such as corn, rice, or sugar and stick with the basics.
- Hops-These flowers are the spice of the beer. Pleasant bitter flavors and herbal aromas come from hops.Think of them in beer as the oregano in spaghetti sauce; while the tomato might be the heart of the sauce, it just wouldn't be the same without seasoning.Malt flavors alone in beer would be far less interesting without snappy hops to balance the rich sweetness of malt.
- Yeast -The magic ingredient in beer is a single-celled organism (actually many millions of them per batch) that eats sugar, multiplies and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as waste products.The most elusive flavors in beer seem to be the ones produced by the yeast during the process of fermentation.

MARBOUR LIGHTS
Tales from our other home half way around the world.
By James Foley, Jayplay writer
The air outside is warm and heavy. The lush trees and foliage provide ample shade from the hot summer sun as I walk through the quiet garden. Nearby stands a grey stone pagoda more than two meters tall engraved with ancient, esoteric characters that only a few can understand. Plants and flowers not native to this part of the world are all around me. The scenery makes me feel like I'm in Japan, but I know that can't be true because when I turn around and head towards the entrance, I see the Granada staring back at me in all of its flashy, purple concrete glory.
I'm at the Japanese Friendship Garden, which was built in 1995 to honor the 10 year anniversary of the relationship between Lawrence and its sister city Hiratsuka, Japan. This garden serves as a reminder to all Lawrence denizens that we have a place to call home on the other side of the world.
Lawrence and Hiratsuka are two entirely different cities. But our sister-city relationship connects our two cities on cultural, sociological and academic level that will leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough explore both places.
The lay of the land
Japan comprises a chain of four main islands that have a land area roughly equal to that of California. The population of this humbly-sized country is more than one-third of the United States' 295 million people. Needless to say, Japan's population: density is huge. Think of Hiratsuka like you would Lawrence: A nondescript city that would never appear on a national map next to the likes of, say Kansas City. Then consider that Hiratsuka's population is nearly 260,000; that's more than three times the size of Lawrence's, but a dwarfish number compared to the populations of metropolises like Tokyo or Osaka.

because the majority of stores in Hiratsuka don't take credit cards, and consequently everybody carries around large sums of cash.
Student life
Student life in Hiratsuka has many parallels with student life in Lawrence: Wake up, go to school, sit through class, hang out, get some work done and start drinking. This, of course, is done in a particularly Japanese fashion. Instead of having a 10-minute walk to campus, it's a 40-minute bus ride; instead of a sandwich and can of soda for lunch, it's a bowl of udon (noodles) and cup of ochya (green tea); instead of going to a kegger at random house, you get as many people as you can find and go out on the town together.
Drinking like you're Japanese
Drinking in Japan is quite the adventure. A popular thing to do in Hiratsuka is to get a large group of people together and find a place that offers nomihoudai, or all you can drink. One place of interest is Daisukiya where for 1,400 yen (around $12) you can drink all you want for two hours. When drinking in Japan, the custom is to pour drinks for the people you're sitting with. And don't forget to say kampai (Japanese for "cheers") before you take a swig. Many bars close at 11 p.m. so patrons can catch the train home before they stop running (around midnight). A typical night on the town in Hiratsuka might include an hour or so of singing karaoke before dinner, and then a couple of hours drinking before your Japanese comrades have to get home. If home is within walking distance, the night can keep on rolling at one of the many 24-hour karaoke bars. Once you've had your fill of song and drink, saunter

Learning the culture
Of course, there is more to traveling abroad than getting drunk. Cultural exchange is essential to make any trip abroad worthwhile. Getting to know people other than the Americans you came with, understanding their culture and personality is key to a successful experience traveling any country.
Jordan Condit, Winfield, senior, says she tried to meet as many people and do as many "Japanese" things he could. But he says his best memory of his summer in Hiratsuka is of something he could have done right here in Lawrence. He went on a date. When the program was over, he was disappointed. "I wanted to stay. I want to go back as soon as possible," he says. Rees says he enjoyed observing the culture and people, listening to their music and getting lost in the sea of people and buildings that is Japan.
The sister-city relationship
The sister-city program creates opportunities for students to travel to Hiratsuka, regardless of their age, Japanese language ability or place in academia.

History
The concept of sister cities was put in motion by President Eisenhower as a way to eliminate the strife and trouble that plagues the world by spreading cultural awareness, which results in a better understanding of our fellow human beings. In Lawrence, this concept manifests itself through student exchanges. The University offers summer programs in both Hirst-suka and Eutin. There are also exchange programs for Lawrence's junior and senior high schools.
ratsuka. KU also offers a 5-week summer program in Hiratsuka, open to any interested student. Graham Kreicker, chair of the Lawrence Sister Cities Advisory Board, says that the cultural exchange is a wonderful adventure for those who aren't afraid to try new things and jump in with both feet.
Student's at KU's sister-university, Kanagawa University, have the chance to visit Lawrence each February for a
one-month exchange. The Japanese students experience dorm life (atypical to Japanese college life), take a busy schedule of English and culture lessons, see the sights of Lawrence and the surrounding areas and have a brief home stay. Kreicker says that the greatest benefit to this exchange is giving the Japanese students a taste of the midwestern lifestyle. Some like it here so much, they make arrangements to come back and stay with friends they made in Lawrence.

The strong connection
between students in Hiratsuka and Lawrence would never exist if it weren't for the sister city program. Through the efforts of each of our cities and universities, we are able to better understand our two cultures. This exchange fosters a greater understanding of the rich culture and fascinating people that make each of our cities truly amazing.

I know a lot of girls on my floor who are sexually active, but they've never been tested and they don't plan to; a few are good friends of mine and I want them to be safe. Any advice to these girls? Nina, Freshman
Brian: Tons of girls living together, all sexually active? Man, I miss dorm life. While people tend to have less sexual partners in high school, in college there are random people hooking up all over the place, making it much harder to know if someone is completely clean. So if you're sexually active I recommend getting an STD and an HIV test. The worst that happens, if you are in the clear, is that you have spent a few bucks to help keep the KU population safer. It also
helps to keep you safe if you know the person you're fooling around with. As much fun as it can be to hook up with a stranger (or two) on a drunken night, it can lead to a lifetime of regrets.
Jessica: If you're old enough to be having sex, you're old enough to prepare for the consequences of visiting the
big-girl doctor. The same goes for guys, only they don't have to worry about putting their feet in cold stirrups. Some of the procedures are somewhat invasive, but those few moments of discomfort far outweigh the alternatives. I recommend getting checked before any sexual encounter with a new person. I am an adamant advocate for seeing your gynecologist/men's dr. regularly. So why not take this opportunity to start now if you haven't already?The sooner you do it, the sooner you can rest assured that your private parts are in fact healthy and ready to help others' private parts feel mm mm gooooooood instead of itchy and burning.

My girlfriend has of late started to talk about marriage quite a bit. We are both seniors this year and she has started to talk about possibly trading vows as soon as next year. I am feeling really closed in and freaked out. What should I tell her? — Cale, Senior
Brian: Don't all upperclassmen know that life goes by waaaaay too fast? Last time you blinked, you were crossing the stage at your high school graduation, ready to make the best of your next four (or five or six) years of your life before you have to get a real job and be
an adult. Well, now that time has come and you're still not ready. A simple rule: If you want a relationship to work, the person who wants to take things slower should always win the battle; this includes sex, time commitments, family and marriage. Don't feel forced into getting married or you could be throwing away something very special.
Jessica: Cue the traditional wedding march. Tell her you think her boobs are actually getting smaller and that her best friend is looking really good lately. Then I'm sure she'll back off with the wedding talk, at least for a while. No, silly. Just be up front with the girl the next time she mentions it. You love her and although both of you are graduating soon you're just not ready for that great of a commitment especially since you'll both be dealing with the stresses of graduation and post-grad plans.
?
My friends were joking around the other day talking about Eiffel Towering this girl.I was too embarrassed to ask them what it was, so I was hoping you could shed some light for me.
Mark, Sophomore
Brian: Ah yes, the Eiffel Tower. Beloved by men in France for its beauty and by men in America for its sexual connotation. Here is a great synopsis from urbandictionary.com: "A threesome, with two guys and one girl, when one guy is hitting it from the back and the other guys is hitting it from the front. The guys then slap hands at the top resembling the Eiffel Tower." I bet you think better of the French now, don't you?
Jessica: Thanks, Brian. And you thought the French kiss was all we got out of the French version of Sex Ed. Au contraire! Oui Oui! Yeah... I don't know French.

wanna have Sex?
A look into the jersey chasing phenomena and why a student-athlete's dating life can be difficult and misunderstood
Illustration by Becka Cremer
By Katie Moyer, Jayplay writer
KU basketball player Jeff Hawkins walks into a bar on a Saturday night with some teammates. He looks forward to a night out with the guys as they relax after a tough workout. A girl approaches him from across the room. You can almost see the basketballs in her eyes as she smiles slyly at the KU guard. Hawkins, Kansas City senior, waits patiently for her to speak as she does her best to act innocent."Wanna have sex?"she asks bluntly.Yep, you gotta love those jersey chasers.
Being a student-athlete in the wide world of dating has its advantages, one of which could be argued are jersey chasing, which seems to make hooking up effortless. According to the online Urban Dictionary, a "jersey chaser" is loosely defined as someone who only goes for athletes. This term can be subdivided into particular sports. Lacrostitutes, for example, set their sights on lacrosse players. Here at the University, basketball players are popular targets for jersey chasers, as Hawkins has witnessed time and time again.
Hawkins says that he can always tell when a girl is approaching him only because he plays on the basketball team. "I'm ugly, so when girls come up to me I know it has to be the jersey!" Hawkins says modestly. "Some just flat out say they want to have sex and others will be polite and try to hold a conversation."
Aside from jersey chasers, the real advantage that athletes have is simply the effect that the college sports experience has on an athlete. Higher confidence and a larger social network are both factors that make it easier for athletes to meet new and interesting people. But even when an athlete does find a match, the disadvantages come into play. Athletes have a time commitment that would interfere with any relationship. Their duties include not only those of the average college student, but also practice, weights and competition.
Like Hawkins, Tyler Docking, Overland Park senior and member of the KU men's golf team, has encountered a couple jersey chasers in his-day. He says that a couple years back, seven of the 13 guys on the golf team hooked up with the same girl. He smiles embarrassingly and says, "It was kind of the team joke that semester." Docking denies being one of the seven who had fallen victim to the jersey chaser whose name remains anonymous.
Docking says that although he has scored a couple dates because a girl approached him after a previous tournament earned him news coverage, or even because the girl's father was impressed by his golfing game, it's more than just a status thing. "It definitely gets you more attention than you normally would," he says, "but I'm so much outgoing since I started playing. That's a big part of it."
Matt Thompson, KU offensive lineman and Missoula, Mont., senior, says that he agrees completely. He points at the confidence factor as the main reason athletes may find dating easier than others. This may put them at an advantage, however, athletes also face the challenge of time management. Thompson deals with balancing school, football and his love life. But he manages, saying that he always finds time after
practice for his lady.
Sometimes it's impossible to date during the school year, Kristy Hainer says. Hainer, Ontario, Can. senior, is a member of the women's rowing team and says that between practice in the morning, class, another practice, schoolwork at night and traveling on the weekends there just isn't enough time.
Docking spends up to 35 hours a week on the golf course practicing. Docking, an engineering student, is enrolled in 12 hours this semester and usually studies outside of class a couple of hours each day. Other than being well over the equivalent of a full-time job, this hectic but normal student-athlete schedule leaves little time for dating. For Docking, the dating season is during the summer, when he goes on an average of one to two dates a week.
Hawkins says that his past relationships were difficult because he is always busy, and girls don't always understand that sometimes he would rather just relax than go out after four hours of practice and weight training. Trailing off as he speaks, he says that if he could just find an understanding girl, it could work.
For some athletes, though, it's simpler to just date another athlete. It could best be described as a comparison to celebrities. Often celebrities only date other celebrities because they are the
only people who truly understand the industry and its demands. The same goes for college athletes.
Becca Zarazan, South Lake, Texas senior, just finished her last semester as a KU swimmer. She says she has dated other athletes because she knows that they have common interests and they understand the demands of each other's hectic lifestyles. "It's natural to be attracted to the people who are in your same situation," Zarazan says.
The trend of athletes dating athletes is everywhere.Docking refers to one of his teammates whose girlfriend is on the KU women's golf team as an example. Another athletic duo was basketball player J.R. Giddens and volleyball player Josi Lima.Hawkins says that he has not dated another athlete, but ponders the question for a moment and says that maybe he should because he understands what athletes go through.
So all you jersey chasers listen up. You know who you are. The next time your radar zones in on an athlete keep three things in mind. One, offering sex right off the bat could make you seem easy, to put it nicely. Two, he might already be taken by another athlete who understands his needs better than you. And three, he might just not have any time for you.

As Michele sat in her chair at the military ball, she couldn't help but feel a little bit envious of the other girls. Sure, she was sitting next to a new boyfriend. But that didn't change that she was right across the candle-lit table from his ex-girlfriend and her date, a fellow male battalion member. And unlike the ex-girlfriend, dressed in a black, form fitting, low-neck, low-back gown, Michele was wearing her uniform that she says
made her look like a nun. But as the University of Kansas Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) members and their dates began eating their cheesecake, the guest speaker, an Air Force General, stood up to give a speech. He told the members that they were sitting there that night in uniform because they were leaders and because they were there to serve their country. He said they had made a noble decision to pursue the military as a career.
"Itmade me sit up a little taller," Michele says smiling, "because then I knew that it wasn't about the dress anymore — it was beyond that — I thought I'm just going to be proud to wear this uniform."
At 5-foot-3 with blond hair and blue eyes, Michele Dierks, Colorado Springs, junior sort of resembles a Dixie Chick. She likes going to parties with friends and loves to dance. She's athletic too; she likes running,
playing lacrosse and has a black belt in karate. "I'm just a normal girl," she says. But if all goes as planned, in just more than a year, Michele will be attending flight school in Pensacola, Florida as Ensign of the United States Navy training to fly F/A-18 Superhornet jets. She would be called an aviator. "Like in Top Gun," she explains.
Michele knows that when she is officially sworn in as an officer after her graduation, she will have to serve seven to nine years in the military. But that is why she's a part of ROTC.
More than 200 students are a part of the ROTC program at the KU.The program which includes 31 women is sponsored by the United States Military and works to recruit and train college students to become U.S.military officers.

Michele joined ROTC her freshman year at KU after winning a four-year scholarship from the Navy.The scholarship gives Michele free tuition, money for books and a monthly living stipend. So Michele does not have to find a job somewhere off of campus. ROTC is her job.
Even though her major is exercise science, which requires 124 credit hours, she'll graduate with 168 credit hours. This is because the Navy ROTC program requires that she take classes as well. Most of those classes like Military History, Leadership and Management, Ship Systems and Weapons Systems, Michele says are easy for her. But some, like Navigation, Engineering Math and Engineering Physics have been extremely time-consuming.
While she does have friends outside of the ROTC program, her closest friends are the ones right there with her as they struggle through complicated physics questions.
One of Michele's advisors and instructors, Lt. Laura Jeffries is an aviator, just like Michele aspires to be.
"It's hard because you're in a man's world." Jeffries says, "But Michele can keep up with the guys and she can run with the guys but in her free time she's just like one of the girls."
This semester, since Michele is 21, she and some of her other friends in ROTC like go to bars together, like Louise's, Quinton's and The Ranch, completely unidentifiable as women of Navy ROTC.
But they know why they're together. With only 10 women in the 73-person Naval battalion, Michele has grown close to the other women.
And, with so few women in the battalion, Michele works to maintain a command presence in front of her fellow female and male ROTC members. She admits it's hard sometimes to
strike a balance between maintaining a command presence and still acting like herself - a smiling, energetic, feminine woman. She says guys will take her more seriously if she doesn't try to be something she isn't.
"I don't pretend to be one of the guys. I'm not going to chop off all my hair and bulk up. They'll see right through that and they won't respect that," she says.
According to one of her superiors, Staff Seargent Marty Mineck, Michele is effective at communicating with both the girls and guys in the battalion. Mineck says that Michele just ignores the
male-female issue; and by relegating it to a non-issue, it becomes a non-issue.
"So then it's not that a girl is asking you to do something, it's a person in the battalion," Sgt. Mineck says.
Wednesdays are Michele's long days. Her alarm goes off at 5:20 a.m. and she arrives on campus at 5:50 a.m., ready for weekly PT (physical training), which usually includes some running and calistenics such as push-ups and sit-ups. Following PT, Michele drives home and gets ready for the rest of her day. Also on Wednesdays, Michele and the other members have to wear their full uniforms on campus.
SIR WALTER JACKSON, F.B.I.
It's hard trying to still look feminine underneath all the layers of starch and sharp creases. So Michele finds herself putting on more makeup those days.
"Because it's your saving grace," she says.
Her hair is not supposed to touch her collar either. So after her shower, she slicks her hair back into a tight ponytail. Then she wraps a sock (without the toe end) around her ponytail and then wraps her hair around that, creating a tight, perfect bun.
Michele and her Marine ROTC friends at the Marine Corps Ball in Kansas City last November 2004. She wore formal attire because she was a date.
As she explains her hair routine, her friend and former ROTC member, Sean Regehr, lola junior, sits across the table from her.
"It's like a Princess Leia bun," Regehr says.
Like many ROTC members, Michele was recruited in high school. She's wanted to fly since she was seven years old.
"She saw that movie Top Gun with
Tom Cruise and I think she thought 'I'm going to be like those guys,' her dad, Stephen Dierks, says.
"Her whole life, she's had exposure to the Air Force Academy and the lifestyles that come with military careers," her dad says.
Michele grew up with her dad and step-mother in Colorado Springs.
Her dad says that her interest in the military probably has a lot to do with growing up in Colorado Springs with the Air Force Academy located just down the road.
Michele decided she wanted to join the Navy or Air Force when she was in seventh grade. And she never flinched in her decision to pursue it.
"When Michele makes up her mind, changing it would be like trying to stop winter from coming." Dierks says.
And she's proven herself to her teachers and superiors in the Navy.
"Honestly, she's one of the sharpest midshipmen we have," says Chief
RIPPY BLAKE
Wheeler of the Navy ROTC.
Michele was awarded her KU ROTC Navy scholarship during her senior year of high school. As an applicant, Michele had to complete an interview and an extensive medical exam, which is used to make sure an applicant doesn't have any long-term medical issues that might hinder their abilities. Additionally, Michele had to pass a strict eye exam because she wants to fly. She has 20/20 vision, a requirement for passing.
The week before her first day of college, Michele had to go to Camp Crowder in Neosho, Mo., for KU ROTC orientation. She says she didn't know what to expect. All she had was a list of items to bring, which, among others included ten white T-shirts and a one-piece bathing suit.
She drove with her dad to KU where she would then hop a bus to camp. Her dad says he remembers the drive well because it was an emotional event for him.
"I told her 'Michele, don't quit. They're going to try to break you down and make you feel bad but whatever you do — don't quit. And she didn't," he says.
Camp was hard, Michele admits, because she was worried about school, the ROTC and leaving her dad. When they got to camp, the Navy superiors screamed and yelled at all of them.
The first night, as they were ironing their uniforms, Michele threw up. All she had eaten was water and a peanut MRE (a bagged, air-tight, made-ready-to-eat, dinner).
"They all thought I wanted to quit," she says. The next day she sat out and watched the others do drills and workouts. "And they yelled at me a lot," she says.
But as the group prepared to head off on a march up one of the trails surrounding the camp, the staff seargent approached her and asked if she had made a decision as to whether she wanted to stay.
"I told him I had but I think he thought that meant I was going to quit," Michele says, "But I just started marching with the rest of them."
Lt. J.G. Jim Cataline and Michele pose in their Naval flight suits this summer on the Whidbey Island Naval base.
Michele considers that day a turning point. She says that after that, she worked hard to show the rest of the battalion that she was capable.
"I just thought that if all of these people could get through it, then I could too. And then the yelling didn't bother me anymore," she says.
Every summer, Michele is required to travel to a naval base and train with other ROTC students across the country.
The first trip she took was to San Diego. That summer, the navy highlighted each warfare community in the Navy, educating the ROTC members on their choices for assignments following college graduation. Michele says the time she spent with the Marine community was cool because they formed teams, covered their faces in cami paint, slept on the ground, carried M-16's and played games where they would attack the other teams. But her time with the Marines was also the most challenging.
They had to go on a "hump" where Michele, wearing boots, dressed in full camouflage, carrying a 40-pound pack on her back and an M-16 had to hike up a mountain. Her group hiked at the pace of the tallest person — in the hot summer sun. She says a lot of them fell out of the line. When she finished, her feet were bloody and blistered and her back ached.
"When I got to the top, I just cried," she says "But I didn't want anyone to see my tears."
Her dad recalls that day too because she called him just afterwards.
"She said 'Dad, it was so hard but I just wanted to tell you — I didn't quit!"

For the quintessential college-town bar experience, Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., fits the bill. A great location, great atmosphere and the fact that is always busing with students make Louise's perfect for some Thursday night debauchery. Louise's Downtown has two levels, two, large outdoor patios for smokers and the standard pool tables, etc. Chris Pieschl, Overland Park senior, and Louise's Downtown patron says it's the $1.75 domestic schooners that bring the people out in droves on Thursdays. Louise's no fuss attitude also helps and it is one bar that in Lawrence that doesn't try to pretend its something its not. It is a bar: pure and simple. And with drink specials like the infamous $1.25 domestic schooner and the Sunday night $3 premium cocktails it's a bar that knows how to cater to students on small budgets. However, if you are in the mood for something European, Louise's Downtown recently started selling Stella Artois, a Belgian beer that's worth the four bucks.

QA AND
Koufax
With local roots and a penchant for churning out accelerated, socially aware dance-rock, Koufax have established themselves as one of the area's premier exports, joining the ranks of local heroes like the Get Up Kids and the Appleseed Cast. With a new record and a new label supporting them, Koufax are prepared to take on the American masses with sweat-soaked riffs and nuevo-wave swagger. Frontman Robert Suchan had time to catch up en route from Chicago to Minneapolis , talking tour psychology, his adopted home and why hard times are in fashion.
Q: You guys are in the middle of a blistering tour schedule (25 shows in 31 days, coast-to-coast). What's it like to play that many shows?
A: It's madness. But we prefer it to be
madness. You make more money that way.
Q: What's your psychological state when the tour ends?
A: There's tour withdrawal. When you're in your town, there's no incentive to get up. It's like, 'Shit, I don't have anything to do.' But we won't consider this tour finished until all the legs are finished. (The band tours Europe and then America again later this year.)
Q: What's the difference between playing in Europe and playing in America?
A: The treatment of bands. Western Europe has a really good support system; they give you a beautiful spread of snacks, dinner and a place to sleep. In America, when the show's over, they're like, 'Get out'. Also, European cities have retained their own history and culture. America

Q: You guys just switched labels (from Vagrant to Doghouse). Why was that?
is so homogenous. It's the same almost everywhere you go.
A: We got off Vagrant Records because it was a popular label for a certain sound, which we didn't fit into. It was sort of false advertising. Kids would buy the record and say, 'Wait - this isn't emo hardcore.' The press would question why we were on the label. But in fairness, they have diversified with bands like Paul Westerberg and the Eels since we left.
Q: The new record, Hard Times are in Fashion, is full of discontent. Where did that come from?
A: The political and social commentary came from me spending a lot of time in Europe in the time leading up to the 2004 presidential election and the war in Iraq starting. People there were more willing to talk about it. There was also an anti-American sentiment there and I was reacting to that as well.
Q: You lived in Lawrence briefly (Fall 2004 thru Spring 2005). What did you think?
A: I really like Lawrence. It's a cliché, but it's an oasis. You're amazed at the culture and the sense of community. It's like, 'How do these people and this town exist in this location?'
Q: Who are some of your favorite Lawrence bands?
A: Kelpie, White Whale, Conner, Appleseed Cast - I'm probably forgetting some. We're touring with some of the guys from Kelpie now.
Q: You were Spin.com's "Band of the Day" on August 11. What does that kind of exposure mean to the band?
A: I may be realistic, or jaded, but I don't think it will help that much -it was only up for a day. Success comes with critics and music fans liking your music.I don't really care about press.
Q: Your birthday was just a couple days ago (August 22). How'd you celebrate?
A: I actually didn't celebrate that much. It was Little Rock, Ark. at midnight. I spent it mellow. I'll consider my birthday in 2005 on August 23 when we we're in New York - that was a good time.

Maybe a bit of everything mixed into one diverse set will suit your musical desires for the evening. It might be the Midwest, but most nights in Lawrence you have the option of getting down to some of the best music from all over the world in addition to the hottest domestic grooves provided by area DJ's.
What makes Lawrence's DJ scene so unique is the diversity of its record slinging music junkies. In many cities, it's not difficult for one to stumble upon a club and find the same cookie-cutter, "hip-hop" DJ spinning the same 50 Cent track we've all heard a countless number of times. While these Top 40 DJ's do exist in Lawrence, there are certainly other types as well.
Lawrence generally has three main outlets for DJ's wishing to reach the ears of listeners: bars and music venues, house parties and radio, specifically KJHK, 90.7 FM, which first aired in 1975 and became the first college station to broadcast via the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In the early '80s College Music Journal and New York Rocker named KJHK one of the top seven college radio stations in the country.
There is no limit to the talent that local and touring DJ's have graced Lawrence with over the years. This town's plethora of talented DJ's fill venues around town with music from all genres.
for decades. For a town that has hosted some of the best musicians from all over the United States, as well as much of the world, it only makes sense that its inhabitants would have a cultured, educated and unique taste in music. Therefore, the Lawrence community is enriched by the presence of avid music listeners who have the willingness and passion for sharing the music that has made such an impact on their lives.
The quality that makes a good DJ is the passion for music. What does not make a good DJ is someone simply collecting a check for playing wedding requests off an iPod (i.e. Brown Eyed Girl on repeat).
Long-time Lawrence spinner, DJ Curtis
McCoy recalls when he was one of the few people in Lawrence with his own turntables. He has lived here for nine years and has DJ-ed for most of them. "It is great to see so many more people DJ-ing around downtown Lawrence. It brings so many different styles of music to the community." McCoy says. He says he sees DJ's as gatekeepers of introducing people to new kinds of music and cultures they otherwise may never have experienced. "People can spin anything on turntables these days, the Gaslight (Tavern) has punk DJ's as well as '50s swing sets, I think that kind of diversity in DJ's and music really accelerates the scene," McCoy says.
There are typically two types of DJ's:
[Image of a person in a library setting, with shelves filled with books. The background is blurred, possibly indicating motion or depth.]
one's who scratch and ones who simply mix. Of course, some are a combination of both. The skills of DJ-ing extend far beyond the obvious technical scratching abilities of turntable virtuosos such as Mix Master Mike, Q-Bert or Cut Chemist. Often, some of the most enjoyable DJs are those who strictly mix their tracks. The main skill that makes a great mixing DJ is the ability to make transitions between tracks seamlessly by matching beats and adjusting the pitch between tracks with different beats per minute.
Lawrence DJ Joe McGuire, a.k.a. Cheo, has been spinning Latin-flavored beats and rhythms in Lawrence since he began a weekly show on KJHK titled Latin Lab, in 2001. He frequently spins at various venues around Lawrence as well as in Kansas City. He says he enjoys the support the community has shown him over the years. "People in Lawrence always seem to welcome new types of music in the community. I am constantly amazed by the positive feedback I receive many of the nights I DJ." McGuire says.
Many venues around town have weekly DJs, including the Eighth Street Taproom, the Gaslight Tavern, EightOneFive and Fatso's. The standard price is typically between $1 and $2, which is usually more affordable than most concerts in Lawrence. So next time you're looking to hear some unique tunes, check out flyers around town, as well as the Jayplay's concert calendar, for events in the local DJ scene and you'll be pleasantly surprised at the quality of Lawrence's DJ's.

velope mixed in with the regular mail, she points out that it must be from one of his other girlfriends. She isn't far off.
The envelope contains an unsigned letter from an ex-girlfriend informing Don that he has a son somewhere. When Don shows the letter to his neighbor Winston (Jeffrey Wright), Don blows off the letter as a prank, but Winston, a hardcore mystery-lover, sinks
his teeth in. For Don, he creates a list of possible women who could be the mother of his child and a travel itinerary to visit them all. He also throws in a mix CD of cheesy, detective-sounding Latin
music. one of the film's nice touches.
Don visits the list of exes, including a widow (Sharon Stone) with a sexually liberated daughter aptly named Lolita, a real estate agent shaken to see Don again (Frances Conroy), an animal communicator (Jessica Lange), also not enthusiastic to see Don and a tough bikertype (Tilda Swinton).
So, does Don find out who and where his son is? I will not say here, but I don't think that's the point of the movie. It's a film of self-discovery, of how Don got to be so unhappy and unenthusiastic about his life and how the potential of having a family could change that. At the least, it would probably get Bill Murray to smile.

The Constant Gardener
R, 129 minutes, South Wind 12
☆☆☆1/2
The Constant Gardener is a well-executed "romantic thriller" with a formulaic plot that unfolds in a fascinating setting. British diplomat Justin (Ralph Fiennes) takes his wife, Tessa (Rachel Weisz), to Kenya. There, her uncompromising activism puts her on the blacklist of corrupt politicians and greedy corporations — with fatal results.
Fortunately, the film has better things to do than deliver a parable of corporate greed. It would much rather follow the path of a passing Kenyan or hover in front of Rachel Weisz's smile. It isn't a slow film, but it does take its time about things. So you may want to leave your MTV-weakened attention span at
home. The camera lingers lovingly on the streets of Nairobi and the pores of Ralph Fiennes' nose. There's suspense, too, but not the edge-of-your-seat variety.
The Constant Gardener treats its characters with respect, affection and humor, and a touching post-mortem love story is given center stage. But the film doesn't sustain its delicacy of touch. Before long, the twists are untwisted, the bad guys declare themselves, and the film's love story is doused in bathos. All this makes the denouement more emotionally satisfying, but fails to make the movie better.

THE PALE PACIFIC RULES AND PREDICTABLE
The Pale Pacific Urgency
☆☆☆
In this album, The Pale Pacific creates spacey, indie/emo rock putting the band alongside other acts like Feeder and La Guardia. While most of the bands in this genre stick to a guitar-heavy approach, The Pale Pacific utilizes keyboards on several of the tracks. Vocally they bring to mind the frail vocals of Copeland and Bright Eyes.
Upon receiving Urgency by The Pale Pacific last week, I figured the CD would be added to my collection of coasters to keep my Dr. Pepper from perspiring on the table. But after listening to it a few times, I realized my misjudgment. This was one of the best albums I have heard in the last few months.
Aside from the two clunkers of the album — "Written Down" and "Identity Theft" — this is a great effort. From the ELO-sounding "If Only She'd Leave Town" to the Sigur-Ros-influenced "Fall To Place," Urgency packs a strong punch of somber organs and light drums that make this one of the more interesting releases in the indie/emo genre I've heard this year.

The novel is broken into three criss-crossed timelines. The first is a narrative of the 1930s, when Professor Rossi first begins investigating the Dracula myth.

The Historian aims at those with a love of history — appropriately. While
there are surely those who would cling to every description of Ottoman warfare - Vlad the Impaler was a Romanian warlord whose military victories against the Turks made him infamous — I imagine that after a while, the historical anecdotes would get repetitive for some. My main beef with the novel is its editing — it easily could have beeh slimmed, and seems bloated.
Far from being a horrific novel (this is nowhere near the realm of, say, Stephen King), The Historian is more interested in the real history of the Dracula myth than in any gore. That said, the most involving passages are those describing Vlad the Impaler's historical actions — when envoys refused to remove their religious turbans, he had the turbans nailed to their heads, for instance. For better or worse, the man makes a compelling subject.

Geist
Gamecube
☆☆
In GameCube's Geist, you can be captured and have your soul ripped from your body and still have a chance at redemption.
There is also a multiplayer option involving death matches between friends. But this form of generic combat can be found in any first-person shooter game.
From the beginning, Geist seems to rely more on the adventure aspect, unlike blast-everything-away games of the past. The story is original, keeping the gamer well entertained.
This new, first-person adventure game has the gamer avoiding the afterlife at all costs in hopes of making things right in the end. Essentially, all you have to do is find a body with a gun and possess it. It's pretty cut and dry.
Playing Geist also gives the garner the ability to possess - in the sense that your spirit takes over their bodies. That means a lot of different things such as people, dog food and lights.

Gamecube
★★★
When I think of baseball, I think of a fat Italian man in red overalls who likes to jump on turtles while playing catch with his girlfriend and his pet dinosaur. I'm probably in the minority with that right now, but Mario Superstar Baseball might change that.
Although it may look like a kiddy game, Superstar Baseball has plenty of intricacies that allow for the casual baseball fan to get his or her fix. There are several different modes of play including Practice, Exhibition, Toy Field, Challenge and Minigames.The Exhibition, Toy Field and Minigames modes are all good with a friend or for single play. The Challenge mode starts you with a ragtag team that you must shape into the best nine baseball players possible.
During games with other teams, you can impress players from the opposing side by completing challenges. If they are impressed, you may be able to add them to your roster, increasing your chances of taking down Bowser. Although this won't replace your copy of MVP Baseball 2005, it does offer some good gameplay.

Getting back to my side of the ocean
Kansas
on mv mind
Illustration by Greg Griesenauer
I haven't been sleeping well lately.
My mind wanders at night, contemplating my senior year in college. Last semester, I studied abroad in Paderno del Grappa, Italy. After four crazy months of traveling, eating pasta by the wheelbarrow-full, drinking wine by the
gallon and meeting amazing people, I was really ready to be back in Lawrence.
Among others, my roommate (in Italy and in Lawrence) Jake would constantly ask what the hell was the matter with me. How could I be missing Kansas as I'm lying on the beaches of Nice or drinking wine under the Eiffel Tower? Why did I miss KU so much?
I've never really been able to articulate an answer. Until now.
PETER L. HANSON
Brian Wacker, senior Jayplay writer
You see, Jake, I wanted to be back here because it's what I know. It's home.
I wanted to wake up at nine on a Saturday morning, pick up a case of Bud Light, tailgate at the stadium for hours, play catch with some friends and wander into the football game halfway
through the first quarter.
I wanted to camp out for five days in the lobby of Allen Fieldhouse with a blow-up mattress, a pile of homework and a can of Pringles just to get the best seats for an exhibition game against the EA All-Stars.
I wanted to walk up the Hill from my parking spot each morning and still get that nostalgic feeling as I passed the Campanile.
I wanted to tune into KJHK, listen for an hour and not be able to recognize one single song.
I wanted to walk to class 20 minutes early, sit out on Wescoe Beach on a perfect fall day, run into three different people I haven't seen in three months, say "we should hang out this weekend," swap phone numbers and then not see or
talk to them for another three months.
I wanted to meet my girlfriend on campus for 20-minute dates between our classes just for hell of it.
I had nothing against being in Europe. Believe me, it was an incredible semester. For four months, I lived outside of anything I'd ever known and loved
it. But it had to end and now I'm back living the life I know and I love it even more.
So many times, I hear about how going to college is just the springboard into the journey that is life. It's only the training ground. But am I crazy to think that maybe that journey is already in full-swing? College is so much more than trying to build a better life for yourself down the road. It's about having the best life for yourself now. It scares me that I'm a senior now and I'm just starting to fully appreciate this.
So for now, I'm here to walk through the student ghetto on a Friday night, find a random house party, steal a cup and drink off the keg for free all night.
I'm here to crawl down Mass St. on any given night with five different friends through five different bars and not remember where I went with whom the next morning.
I'm here to know that my going to either the Hawk or Liquid on a Friday night instantly raises the average age of everyone there by two years; and I'm only 21.
I'm here to find that perfectly-positioned spot in Budig 120 where the professor can't see me and pull out my perfectly-folded crossword during Biology
I'm here to pass Western Civ I and II without ever reading one required book.
class.
I'm here to skip out of class early on Friday afternoon and make a bee-line for the Crossing.
I'm here to take every flier handed to me on campus and directly deposit it into the nearest trash can without reading it.
I'm here to spend more time finding a parking spot near the library than I do actually studying there.
I'm here to walk into the Underground at 12:20 p.m. and feel absolutely violated just trying to get some breadsticks. I'm here to know that the only people who care about how Delta Force and KUnited do in student elections are the people actually in Delta Force and KUnited.
I'm here to think Wescoe Hall is the most beautiful building on campus.
The Venetian canals and German beergartens will be there for me if I decide to go back to Europe in ten years. But if I come back to Lawrence then, will any of this stuff be the same for me?
That's why I missed Lawrence so much, Jake.
Oh, and Pokey Stix.

Patrol checks drivers' levels
Checkpoints aim to thwart drunken driving
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN WRITER
Max Hire wasn't sober when he saw the checkpoint ahead on Kentucky Street. He made a U-turn on a one-way street to avoid it.
A police officer immediately pulled him over on 19th Street at 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 3.
Hire, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, was one of four people charged with driving while intoxicated last Friday and Saturday night at a checkpoint on the 1800 block of Kentucky Street.
"I was a little bit over the limit," Hire said.
If students drink and drive this weekend, they should expect their chances of getting caught to increase. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said the department will conduct a checkpoint and saturation patrol tonight, similar to the checkpoint and saturation patrol police conducted last Friday and Saturday, said.
The checkpoint will be set up at a different location than the one conducted
on the 1800 block of Kentucky Street between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. last Friday and Saturday. Ward said.
Federal law requires the department to conduct a number of checkpoints because the city received $2.2 million in federal funds for the traffic unit, Ward said. The department has completed more checkpoints than required, he said.
The entire traffic unit, which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant, will conduct a saturation patrol in Lawrence tonight, Ward said. Last week, the traffic unit patrolled from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday.
The saturation patrol made 26 stops and gave out 10 speeding tickets, nine moving violations and one seat belt violation, Ward said. The checkpoint yielded four DWIs, one drug possession and six minors-in-possession.
"It's quite labor-intensive," Ward said of the checkpoint. "We have charge vehicles that apprehend people who try to avoid it."
Hire won't be able to avoid the expense and inconvenience of a DWI.
He said he would have to get a job to pay for an attorney, $500 for the bond to leave jail and court costs. He also said trips to see his family in Kansas City would be more difficult without a car.
"Nothing's been as fun. At the game next day, all I could think about was the DWI." Hire said.

Sororities ensure safe rides home Members place phone calls from stadium
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Getting home safe after parking next to Memorial Stadium late at night is only a phone call away for sororities located along West Campus Road.
Sigma Kappa, Gamma Phi Beta and Chi Omega have instituted a system that allows members to call on other members to provide a ride back when they are unable to find a spot near their house.
Members see the system as a way to prevent incidents like the one that occurred on Tuesday Aug. 30, when a female student was robbed near Memorial Stadium and 11th Street.
"We have made it clear that no one
should walk from the stadium by themselves," said Valerie Hooper, Hutchinson junior and president of Gamma Phi Beta.
Sigma Kappa, 1325 West Campus Road, uses a community cell phone plan called Safe Sigma that women can call at any time.
Amanda Zimmerschied, Lawrence sophomore and member of Sigma Kappa uses the Safe Sigma system two to three times during the week.
Each day a member signs up to take calls and provide rides to any members parking in the stadium lot.
"It makes me feel so much more safe knowing I will have a safe ride back to the house." she said.

LMH proposes expansion of its facility
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lawrence Memorial Hospital could be using $35 million to expand the hospital because of a need to handle an accelerating increase in patients.
Michele Berendsen, spokeswoman for LMH, 325 Maine St., said that eight years ago 15,000 patients visited the hospital, a relatively low number compared to the 29,000 patients last year and the expected 30,000 plus visitors once the project is finished.
If the city gives us the permit in a timely process, demolition will be completed by the end of the year."
Michele Berendsen
LMH spokeswoman
The concern about the difference caused Skanda Skaandravl, director of facilities at LMH, to fill out a demolition permit application on Aug. 24 for the Department of Neighborhood Resources to approve.
If Neighborhood Resources approves the permit, demolition of a wing of the hospital built in 1969 will begin soon after.

After demolition concludes, construction would begin to improve the hospital in many different areas. Berendsen said LMH wanted to increase square footage of the wing by up to 50 percent.
"If the city gives us the permit in a timely process, demolition will be completed by
Berendsen said the surgical facility would be enhanced, because the current facility was 20 years old, out of date and not prepared to meet the demand to potential changes in technology.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY MARK VEIRTHALER editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Welcome to Action Movies 101. Today, we will teach you the proper mix of ingredients to make your own thrilling action movie.
First, take one protagonist that is seemingly incongruous with an action role. Skinny Englishmen work wonderfully for this part. Add three parts shaky
camera work,
one part vertigo and mix well.
Pepper liberally with caricatured antagonists and one scantily clad, yet deadly, woman. Bake 88 minutes.
Congratulations, you have
D
just made "The Transporter 2."
In the sequel to 2002's "The Transporter," Jason Statham reprises his role as Frank Porter, the no-nonsense, ass-kicking Englishman.
Porter is an ex-special agent, turned driver-for-hire. In what seems like a lull in his career, he has taken on the job as chauffeur for a rich couple's six-year-old. Armed only with his two fists and a seemingly indestructible Audi A8 W12, he sets out to rescue the kidnapped child after a mysterious abduction — and, as is the action standard, to save the world from a deadly virus.
quandaries. The plot takes a back seat to the action sequences and the emphasis is on the wanton violence inherent in action films, which is how things should be in this type of movie.
The original movie garnered attention for its slick, choreographed chase scenes and its mix of blazing gunfire with "chop-socky" fighting. The sophomore trip around the block hits the mark.
Don't come to this movie looking for deep philosophical quandaries.
The sequel is almost Bond-
Too often action films are bogged down with clumsy story lines coupled with poorly executed plot twists. You come to "The Transporter 2" expecting car chases and ass kicking. You leave satisfied.
Don't come to this movie looking for deep philosophical
amost Bondesque in its straight-forwardness, which is one of the reasons it succeeds. Statham plays a more hands-on type of hero than the Bond characters, managing to
beat the snot out of several hundred henchmen without firing a single shot from a gun.
You have your standard James Bond formula working overtime. There are the over-the-top villains with foreign accents, the legions of henchman that come out of the woodwork for fist fights, the deadly woman with a violent sex drive to boot and the foreign friend who's pigeon-holed into the role of comic relief. Fans of the original won't be disappointed. It serves its purpose as an action movie and makes no qualms about it.
If you're looking to work your brain, this isn't the film for you. If you want an intense, often funny, never heavy movie, this is definitely worth a look-see this weekend. But be sure to pack the Dramamine.

Group to stress freedoms
ANNIVERSARY
9/11 tribute will remember rights

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A group of University of Kansas graduate students is organizing an event to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Sept. 11.
The event, called the September Project, will feature panel discussions and the showing of the movie, "A Day Without a Mexican." It will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11, at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
"This is a positive event for
the city of Lawrence," said Shannon Portillo, Shawnee graduate student and one of the organizers of the event.
The September Project, which was started by a library at Washington State University, encourages libraries worldwide to sponsor events concerning freedom and democracy on or around Sept. 11.
The University of Kansas hosted the Project last year, which was the first year Lawrence participated in the event.
"We're pretty excited," said Michael Sweeney, Overland
Park graduate student and an event organizer. "We've been able to expand quite a bit."
Portillo said the event was moved to the public library this year to include members of the Lawrence community.
Maria Butler, community relations coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library, said she had heard quite a bit of interest about it from the library patrons.
Portillo said about 50 students attended the event last year. This year, the organizers hope to triple that number, Portillo said.
"This will blend students with the community and get the community involved," Portillo said.
The panel discussions will feature religion, the ways people interact with their communities, international perspectives and civil rights and immigration.
Experts on the respective topics will open the discussions. Five international students from the University who represent five different conti nents will lead the discussion involving the international perspectives. The film "A Day Without a Mexican" will precede a discussion about civil rights and immigration.
"There's a good variety of interesting topics," Butler said.

Band position not likely to change
Runs on the east side of Memorial Stadium unable to hear the marching band at the Florida Atlantic game may have difficulty hearing the band all season.
Band and athletics department officials said there were no simple solutions to the problem of fans hearing the marching band at football games.
"Short of micing and sepa rate speakers, there's not a whole lot that can be done,"
said James Hudson, marching band director.
A report done by the athletics department said the bowl was the best place for the band in terms of acoustics, Hudson said.
While fans on the east side of Memorial Stadium had difficulty hearing the band, Hudson said he heard from fans on the west side who said that they could hear the band clearly.Those seated on the west side said that they had difficulty hearing the band last year, when they were seated near midfield.
"In a perfect world, they'd be in the center of the bowl."
said Brandon Macneill, associate athletics director. "But we'd like for them to have better seats than that."
Macneill said that while some on the east side of the stadium may not be able to hear the band clearly, that number would be lower than those who could not hear the band last season.
Broadcasting the band through the speaker system at the stadium was not an option because of a time delay, Hudson said.
Hudson said the new seats in the north bowl served as a more practical location for the band. The new seats allowed
the band to move quickly from their seats because they now have two sections to exit for halftime. The band now sits in sections 32 and 33.
Hudson also dismissed the rumor that the full band was not present at the Florida Atlantic game.

Stadium gates open only to students
Gates 29 and 30 at Memorial Stadium will be designated for student entrance only starting this weekend.
At those gates, there will be
eight entrances for students compared with the six entrances open last weekend. There will also be extra staff on hand to expedite students' entrance into the stadium, said Brandon Macneill, associate athletics director.
Numerous students said they waited in long lines to enter the stadium before the Florida Atlantic game. It was the first game for the new student seating near the north bowl. Last weekend, both students and reserved-seat ticket holders were allowed to use the same entrances.
was some first game jitters, growing pains," Macneill said. "We hope that we have the solution."
"We acknowledge there
Despite the additional entrances, Macneill encouraged students to enter the stadium as early as possible to help avoid lines.
Student seating at football games was shifted before the season to separate the visiting and student sections, which were next to each other in previous seasons. The student entrance was also moved from numerous gates at the southeast corner to entrances in the north bowl.

CAMPUS Douglas county not needed for refuge
Planning to take in Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Douglas County has been suspended by the state of Kansas.
An official planning meeting yesterday at 8:30 a.m. was held to inform agencies involved about procedures that would have been taken if Douglas County was needed. Evacuees would have stayed at Robinson Gymnasium.
"I'm about to cry" she said. "I'm so proud of this community for coming together so quickly."
Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Management, was in the middle of her presentation at the meeting when she was told that the four primary sites in the state would be sufficient. After making the announcement, she said she was disappointed that the efforts of everyone involved would not be used.
Phillips said the first 500 evacuees would arrive in Kansas on Monday.
The executive editor of the Associated Press will speak tomorrow at the University of Kansas.

SNL comedians to perform skits at Lied Center

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Seth Meyers and Kenan Thompson will perform their comedy skits at 7 p.m. Oct.23 at the Lied Center
A pair of "Saturday Night Live" comedians will headline this year's homecoming festivities.
The event-filled homecoming week, "Hawks on the Haunted Hill: Legends of the Fall," begins Oct. 22.
Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for the public and will be available at 11 a.m. on Monday at the SUA box office.
A large portion of funding for comedians will be generated from ticket sales, said Dustin Curzon, Broken Arrow, Okla., sophomore, and special events co-chairman.
The Homecoming Steering Committee lured the comedians with help from Student Union Activities, but it has continued to look for sponsors from the community.
"It is important that we have this
After Bill Cosby's performance last year, which drew crowds from Kansas City and the non-student population, the committee wanted performers who would appeal to the college scene and generate a large student turnout.
big act coming in, but it's really a small part of homecoming," Curzon said.
"I think this would be better because they are around our age," Cherie Moose, Wichita junior, said about this year's performance. "Kenan is pretty cool."
The committee has made it a goal to get the entire community involved in the activities.
The "Saturday Night Live" duo may be the hit of the week, but other Halloween-themed events are scheduled.
A block party, scheduled for Oct. 27 at South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St., is open to the community and students. Live entertainment, including Jayhawk Idol competitors, will perform on a stage at the party. Inflatable children's games and various Massachusetts Street vendors will be on hand.
Committee members planned events like the block party to generate interest from the Lawrence community.
"KU is a big part of Lawrence, and Lawrence is a big part of KU.
"KU is a big part of Lawrence, and Lawrence is a big part of KU. It's really important that the community get really involved in that also."

Other activities include the traditional 'Can'sstruction competition, in which campus groups build displays out of canned goods on Wescoe Beach, and Chalk n' Rock, a sidewalk chalk mural competition also held on Wescoe Beach, as well as the return of Javhawk Idol.
Nine finalists will be selected, and the winner will sing the national anthem at a basketball game.
It's really important that the community get really involved in that also," said Lauren Jesse, Leawood senior.
The week ends Saturday with the annual homecoming parade and the homecoming game against the Missouri Tigers.

RETRACTION AND CLARIFICATION
An article in Wednesday's University Daily Kansan was incorrect. On Tuesday, Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department told the Kansan that Michael C. Zotti was a suspect in a case of persons impersonating police officers. Ward said yesterday that one suspect, whom he identified as Jason D. Warble, had given the Zotti name when he was arrested. Ward said later that Warbie identified himself correctly. Michael C. Zotti was not involved in any way. The Kansan regrets this error. The District Attorney's Office has identified Warble as having been charged with false impersonation, robbery and obstruction — in this case, providing an incorrect name. Douglas County Jail records show a second suspect in the case, identified as Ryan M. Cunningham, charged with robbery and false impersonation. Cunningham's case remains under review, the district attorney's office said.
CORRECTIONS
- Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. In the story "Hemenway Looks Forward" a federal court ruled in 2000 that discrimination was not the reason the University of Kansas denied Cynthia Annett tenure and removed Ray Pierotti from his position as chairman of a minority affairs committee.
ON CAMPUS
- Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. In the article, "Max Falkenstien in recovery," Falkenstien's name was misspelled.

Photos are arranged in groups according to what commission they belong to. Klocke said they did this to have the works parallel how the work landscape has changed over time.
The works also hang in a nonlinear, disjointed order. Klocke said they had to warn the security guards in advance that the exhibit looks like paintings have been stolen.
"We did this to engage the viewer and emphasize that the individual works are part of a larger effort," he said.
Instead of traditional explanatory text underneath each
work, labeling appears at the beginning and end of each section. Each label is a Friedlander quote describing the specifics of the commission.
"We're just trying to explore the potential of the exhibit as it lends itself so well to different interpretation," Porter said.
Porter said the informational labels act as parentheses around the photos, similar to what viewers would see on a magazine page.
The museum has planned other events inspired by the exhibit throughout the semester including a commissioned work of art, a first-time display of student work in the museum, a digital video installation and a visiting lecturer.

CAMPUS Influential speakers to visit K-State
CAMPUS
Two of the most influential figures of the modern world will visit Kansas State University this fall.
The lectures, which are part of K-State's Landon Lecture Series, are free to the public.
Kansas State announced this week that former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev and media magnate Ted Turner will speak, Gorbachev on Oct. 28 and Turner on Nov. 28.
Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985 and guided it through its dissolution. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
Charles Reagan, associate to the KSU president, said the university had been working for years to bring Gorbachev and Turner to campus.
Ted Turner founded CNN and Time Warner Cable and invented 24-hour television news. He donated $1 billion to the United Nations in 1997.
The chapter won the John Reilly Knox Chapter Excellence Award, the Francis H. Sisson Award, the Whitman Choral Cup and the Virginia Tech award for excellence.
This is the first time the chapter has been awarded the Knox Chapter Excellence Award, the highest award presented recognizing chapters demonstrating leadership, scholarship and community service.

GIVIN' IT TO YOU STRAIGHT
Preposterous programs propagate petty personalities
I'm flipping through the channels the other night and, lucky me, I happen to catch a minute of the latest episode of "My Super Sweet Sixteen" on MTV.
Wow, if you have not been fortunate enough to see this one, then let me be the first to let you know that it is the most ridiculous show on television.
Let me give you a brief synopsis of how this show is set up.
Young girls parade themselves around as if they are royalty, yelling at their mothers and blatantly bragging of their extreme wealth and superiority.
Their parents pay for outrageous gatherings while the lucky girl spends the day exposing herself as a spoiled, self-absorbed, disrespectful snob.
These children are 16 years old and treating their parents and classmates like the dirt on their designer shoes.
This is the kind of thing that people are actually paying to put on television.

Other reality shows these days have proven to climb the ladder of popularity because people get involved in the drama of the show, because it is the drama that people want.
People picking fights with each other, talking about each other behind their backs, and lying and cheating are all huge pluses for the entertainment side. These shows are quick to draw us in with every insult.
What does this say about our society?
This is the number one thing America wants to watch. Why is that?
There are a number of shows similar to this one and it will only be a matter of time before these absurd reality shows take over television completely, if they haven't already.
these shows are making it on television.
What I want to know is how
Whose bright idea was it to document a bratty, 16-year-old girl's birthday party?
Who OK'd the decision to put someone like Andy Milonakis on MTV several nights a week to act like a complete fool?
Is this completely embarrassing illustration of "American reality" really that entertaining?
I could barely watch 30 seconds and it blows my mind to think that people actually watch the entire show each week?
It would be safe to generalize that younger teens are the targeted group for this show.
Let's think about this for a second. Since I've been using "My Super Sweet Sixteen" as my example, I will continue to use it here.
If a significant number of kids age 17 and under watch this show, then what are they getting out of it?
It just exposes them to greed, immaturity and shallow popularity.
While there is no scientific way to measure how much television affects children today, many aspects of every-day life are portrayed on television.
It isn't outrageous to say that it does shape and influence them.
This kind of behavior is served on a silver platter to children who think what they are watching is cool.
If these kinds of behaviors are glamorized while children are still fairly young and impressionable, what are we teaching them?
Is this the way people in other countries view the American people?
There is no entertainment value in watching another individual behave so inappropriately and it is certainly not something that we want to teach our younger generations.
Nothing good or remotely entertaining for that matter can come from these kinds of shows.
Its completely disgraceful
they have continued to appear on television, getting worse and worse with each new show. We must draw the line somewhere.
How long will it be until television turns into a complete mess?
Better yet, how long will our society keep watching? It's up to you.

I ordered food over the phone from Jade Garden, a local Chinese restaurant, two days before classes ended this past semester. When I told the man that I would come to pick up my order, he gave me my total and told me it would be ready between 10 and 15 minutes.
I arrived at Jade Garden about 20 minutes later. I entered the restaurant and approached the long counter across the dining room. The gentleman on the left was helping some other customers, and the gentleman on the right was answering a phone order. Both cashiers were fairly young white men.
I waited a few minutes quietly until the cashier on the right got off the phone. When he seemed to be available, I looked at him to assist me, and he held up his index finger without saying a word. He then walked away and returned to the counter moments later.
I waited patiently for about eight minutes, and the other cashier was still helping the same customers, as there was a discrepancy with their bill. The cashier on the right who I had been waiting on was staring at the computer monitor occasionally hitting a few buttons.
As I stood there, an older white gentleman walked into the restaurant, came up to the counter and stood beside me.
The cashier who had given me the silent "hold on" finger, and ignored me the rest of the time, suddenly came to life.
"May I help you?" he asked the older white gentleman who had just arrived.
The man said, "Yes. I called in an order and would like to pick up my food."
Perhaps because my skin was darker, he had somehow missed me standing right in front of him for the past 10 minutes. So, I stood there stunned for a few moments, before growing angry. I began to stare at the cashier over my glasses. Although I could not see myself, I know I looked angry because as soon as he looked at me, he quickly averted his eyes.
A Hispanic gentleman came from the kitchen and asked if I needed help, as I had been standing there for an extended period of time. I told him yes and gave him my name. My food had been sitting directly behind the counter the whole time.
Even as the Hispanic gentleman gave me my food, and the other cashier on the left proceeded to add up my bill. I continued to stare at the cashier to my right. I was at a loss for words. Had I not been so stunned I would not have paid for the food. I would have
Why did I have to stand there for 10 minutes when the white man came in, got his food and was out the door in two?
I contacted Lisa Nguyen, manager of jade Garden, and informed her of her employee's actions. She was very apologetic on behalf of the restaurant. Nguyen said the cashier had only been working for three weekends, and she did not know him very well. She said he would be dealt with accordingly.
just left.
"When I hire people, I never think that I have to teach them manners. I assume they would treat all customers with the same respect," said Nguyen.
It is not as if I misinterpreted the situation and thought about it after the fact. There is no mistaking that the cashier intentionally ignored me. Why did the Hispanic man have to get my order for me? He was not a cashier. The white man who came into the restaurant was picking up food just like I was, except it took me about 10 minutes longer.
After two years of living at the university, I have noticed that people are surprised when they hear of racial acts that occur in Lawrence as well as other places in this country. Many believe that all people are treated the same way regardless of race and other differences.
Some acts of racism are unintentional and are results of ignorance. Ignorance however, is not an excuse for oppressing people based on ethnicity or other differences.
I am a living testament that racial injustice still goes on, and as African-Americans, we are forced to deal with it every day of our lives.

STUDENT SENATE
Polling sites may return
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The bill would reinstate voting sites at Strong Hall, Wescoe Beach, the Burge and Kansan Unions and Mrs. E's dining center The Students Rights committee amended the bill to include a site at the Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Students may hear about the elections on campus, Poppe said, but that doesn't mean a student will vote when he gets home.
Students may again be casting their ballots at polling sites on campus for the Student Senate elections next spring.
Physical polling sites weren't used for recent freshman elections or senate elections last spring. The only voting option was online.
A bill was introduced Wednesday in committee to permanently bring back the sites.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior and holdover senator, wrote the bill because she said physical sites weren't supposed to be removed when senate went to online voting. The bill accidently removed the physical sites, Craig said.
After being debated, and passing in two senate committee meetings, the bill will now be voted on in full senate next week.
Kevin Poppe, Leawood senior, said polling sites on campus got more students to vote. He said he voted when the sites were up but not when elections were online.
"When you get home, you sit down and watch TV, you don't go to your computer to vote," Poppe said.
"I
really don't think we need anymore P.R. on election day."
In discussion, Craig said
Jason Boots
Plano, Texas senior
the sites are a non-partisan way to encourage student voting.
She said that during elections, having mostly candidates who were running for senate positions talking to students wasn't the best way to remind them to vote.
Having 90 coalition members on campus,compared with only nine nonpartisan elections, commission members could add bias to the process. Craig said.
In debate, some were concerned that the sites offer undue costs.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and Student Executive Committee chairman, said if Senate brings back the sites, it would need to hire workers and pay for set-up costs for computers and Internet connections.
"I really don't think we need anymore P.R. on election day," Boots said.
Stephanie Sato, Baldwin City junior, and her husband Tusta Krsna Das perform the chanting of Maha Mantra on Wescoe Beach yesterday afternoon. The drum Tusta played was called a Mridanga, and Sato played a Harmonium. The two are part of a group that meets at 6 p.m. on Thursdays at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Two workers at six sites for two days would cost over $1,500. Boots said.

Along with the surgical facility and birthing rooms, the hospital wanted to develop larger private rooms with better video and Internet technology, and renovate the intensive care unit.
She also said the hospital planned to build six new birthing rooms because of increased numbers in births. Last year, 1,120 infants were delivered at LMH. The new rooms would be able to accommodate 1,400 to 1,600 births per year.
Berendsen said the plans for the intensive care unit have not been solidified because they are still in the planning stages.
Archie Smith, senior vice president of Universal Construction Company, said he hoped to start demolition by the end of September and complete it by the end of this year.
He said he was still waiting to receive the final drawings from an architect.
Smith said he didn't know
when the project would begin or the extent of what his company would be doing. He said part of the existing hospital would be exposed to the demolition, and a semi-permanent solution to cover the project from view was being thought up.
Universal Construction Company would most likely work on the project, Berendsen said, but she could not fully commit to anything until LMH receives the permit.

With Tulane unable to make it, the game times were adjusted accordingly.

He has been in Sports Illustrated, shattered nearly every record in school history and is one of the best players at his position — but most college football fans have no idea who he is.
His name is Richie Williams. Williams is the starting quarterback for Division 1-AA Appalachian State and is finally getting the opportunity to prove himself against big-time competition tomorrow night when Appalachian State takes on Kansas.
"You got to handle it the same way you handle any game, but I know there is a little extra incentive this weekend," Williams
Last season, the senior quarterback threw for 3,109 yards and 24 touchdowns. Williams also ran for 284 yards and eight touchdowns. Those numbers led to him being named first team all Southern Conference by coaches and media last season.
This season, Williams is a leading candidate for the Walter Payton Award, which is the equivalent to the Heisman Trophy for Division 1-AA players.

In the first game of the season this year, Williams threw for 234 yards and generated two touchdowns, one in the air and one on the ground. He racked up 66 yards rushing in a 24-16 victory at Eastern Kentucky.

In the Furman game, Williams put up record-breaking numbers. He completed 40 of 45 passes for 413 yards and ran in the winning touchdown with 35 seconds left to propel Appalachian State to victory.
His 88.9 completion percentage for that game and 28 consecutive completions set two NCAA all-divisions records. For that performance, Williams will be featured in the next week's Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd."

Anyone upset about Kansas' home football game against Oklahoma being moved to Arrowhead Stadium need only look south to realize that not having one game at Memorial Stadium isn't worth complaining about.
While moving the game outside Lawrence is unsavory to local fans and businesses, all they are losing is the excitement and money generated from an on campus event. Besides, just about everyone who wants to watch the game can still make the short drive down I-70.
Fans in the gulf area aren't just losing a home football game. They're losing an opportunity, for a few hours, to escape from the real world and the horrors caused by Hurricane Katrina. This game

Although the Spartans were picked to finish ninth in the Big 10 this year, Bechard said they might be a team to watch as the season progresses. "Michigan State is playing at a high level," he said.

Sophomore Connie Abbott led the women's cross country team with a seventh place finish at the Bob Timmons Invitational at Rim Rock Farm last Saturday. Both men's and women's teams will compete in the Kansas State Invitational tonight at 6:30 at Warner Park in Manhattan.
The Kansas cross country team will head to Warner Park at 6:30 p.m. to race against Kansas State in Manhattan.
This season, the rivals have an agreement to square off against one another.
Before this season, the dual was called the KSU Invitational. The tournament included other schools in addition to Kansas and Kansas State.
"We just talked to Kansas State about it over the summer and decided to have a little key meet against each other," assistant coach Doug Clark said.
The men's team will run in an 8K race as it did in last week's meet in the Bob Timmons Invitational in Lawrence.
The women will run in a 6K race tonight. They ran in a 5K race last week.
Last season, the men's team placed first out of six schools at the KSU Invitational. The women's team placed fourth out of eight teams.
"I'm pretty sure everyone is looking to go out there and beat as many K-State runners as they can," sophomore runner Connie Abbot said.
The competitive air of the meet against Kansas State will prepare Kansas for the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 24 in Minnesota, Clark said.
The Kansas men's and women's teams are coming off last week's first place finishes in the 8K and 5K runs, respectively.
Both the men's and the women's teams swept the field of 12 male teams and 10 female teams.
The women came in first
place with a final score of 56. Sophomore runner Connie Abot paced Kansas with a time of 19:19 in the 5K race.
The meet against Kansas State will prepare Kansas for a difficult schedule the rest of the semester, which will include meets that take place in
"Between the meet last week and the Kansas State dual this week, I think those two meets will get us well-prepared to compete to our potential." Clark said.

Anticipation and expectations for the 2015 season run high in the KU Women's tennis team. "The coaches are expecting a lot more than last season," senior Christine Skoda said. "We need to step up and pass their expectations."
Sophomore Stephanie Smith echoed her teammate's opinion and said the team would strive to exceed goals set by the coaches.

Skoda said she had spent much of the summer in Lawrence fine-tuning her game for her last season as a Jayhawk.
"Having everyone on the courts will be better than the workouts this summer," Skoda said. "There will be a better atmosphere. Everyone's ready to play."
"I feel like I've been practicing this whole time," Skoda said. "I."

The start of the season starts quickly; the first tournament will be Sept. 16 to 18 at the Tulsa Invitational.
Junior Ashley Filberth said the team was eager to start playing on the courts again in a competitive atmosphere.

"He can run, pass, do anything. He is real similar to Brad Smith. He is a great player, and we have to prepare for him."
Smith led Missouri to 95 yards rushing, 317 yards passing and four touchdowns in last weekend's victory against Arkansas State.
Beginning during his sophomore year, Williams was thrown
into the leadership role at Appalachian State. He said that was something he wasn't used to, but he learned to adjust.
"I'm probably more of a leader by example," Williams said. "I never yell at other guys because I don't think things get done when you do that. If we're up, I'll try to have fun with the guys too and keep them loose."
After college, Williams said he would love to play in the NFL, but knows he has to take care
of business this year and win games for Appalachian State.
Off the field, Williams said he was a clown. He loves to have fun with his teammates and sometimes likes to talk a bit on the field to opposing defense*
He said he knew how good the Kansas defense was, and that he would have to pick his battles as to whom he talked to on the field.

NFL Chief's Green healthy again
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two weeks after undergoing surgery to restore circulation in his leg, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green pronounced himself 100 percent fit.
"I feel really good," he said yesterday. "It's amazing how quick the turnaround has been, how quickly it came back."
"I haven't had any muscle soreness. My foot feels fine," he said. "It's really amazing how quickly it recovers."
He was taken off blood thinners this week and will no longer require them.
"I'll be fine, ready to go," he said. "I took every snap (Wednesday), every drill the first unit ran. I'm taking everything today. I haven't had any setbacks."
questions remain about the overall state of an offense that has been hobbled by aches and pains throughout the preseason. The top unit actually worked together in the four exhibition games only a few snaps. Green played only the first two series in the Chiefs' third preseason game, and was not even at the stadium for the fourth.
Most of the quarterbacking in those two games was done by emergency backup Jonathan Quinn, who was released on cut-down day.
Green may feel great,but

Helping matters was the fact that the Aggies, who dedicated the game to the victims of the disaster, turned in such an inspired effort that they knocked off the favored Longhorns. But regardless of who won, the game helped people move on with life.
LSU decided to move its game because hurricane evacuates in Baton Rouge prevented the school from using all of its facilities, according to Associated Press reports.
"We don't want to interfere with the recovery effort in any way," LSU athletic director Skip Bertman told reporters.
That's the right decision, because no football game is more important than helping those homeless and suffering after Hurricane Katrina. It's just a shame that LSU officials
Playing the game in Tempe will help those affected by the hurricane. Arizona State will donate its net gate receipts to the hurricane relief effort.
But it is likely that the other sites would have done the same. And having the game closer to home would have given LSU a home field advantage of sorts, rather than a road game against a strong opponent.
couldn't have figured out a way to keep the game closer than Tempe.
Obviously, losing the home crowd edge seems minor compared to the plight of the hurricane victims, but the game is still important to many people.
If the Sun Devils prevail on their home field and wind up in the national chamionship game, critics will detract from their feat by pointing out that they didn't have to travel to Tiger Stadium and play an inspired LSU team on its turf.
But a good portion of those fans could have made the trip to Oxford, Miss., or Shreveport, La. Both cities have large football stadiums and reportedly wanted to play host to the game. Instead, it was moved 1,500 miles away.
LSU's Tiger Stadium holds just more than 91,000, and every fan who planned to attend tomorrow's game has to be unhappy, especially since LSU had already postponed its home opener against North Texas, and the New Orleans Saints likely won't play in Louisiana this season.
That's why 91,000 fans make their way to Baton Rouge on game days each fall.
If the Sun Devils prevail on their home
If you play the game, you play it to win. Especially when both teams are ranked in the top 15, and the winner could end up batting for the national championship.
field and wind up in the national championship game, critics will detract from their feat by pointing out that they didn't have to travel to Tiger Stadium and play an inspired LSU team on its turf.
In the end, moving the game to Tempe might not have an effect on the grand scheme of things in the real world, but in the world of college football, it would have been more fair to LSU fans to keep the game close to Baton Rouge. And perhaps, therapeutic.

off against the No. 15 Pepperdine Waves (4-0-0) at noon on Sunday.
California
In his eighth season, Pepperdine Coach Tim Ward is enjoying his team's most successful start in school history.
Much like the Toreros, the Waves are also coming back from a similar invitational but from Hawaii instead.
While there, the Waves shut out both the University of Hawaii and Eastern Michigan.
Unranked at the beginning of the season, Pepperdine has shot up the polls because of its dominant start and has now landed itself at the No. 15 spot in the Soccer America poll.
Junior forward Linsey Redlin leads the team with four goals and nine points in just four games. She is at the 55 percent mark at shots on goal.
Francis acknowledged Pepperdine's out-of-the-cannon start, but isn't even thinking about them yet.
"We've got to take on San Diego before we even get to Pepperdine," Francis said. "We'll take one game at a time. We got to train a lot more this week than we did last week."
Sunday's match up will mark the first between Kansas and San Diego.
The Jayhawks are not heading to the beach without preparing. Francis sounded happy about having the last week off and said he felt his team needed the extra training time.
Senior forward Caroline Smith leads the charge for Kansas with three goals and six points.
Freshman forward Jessica Bush is right behind her with a pair of game-winning goals last week against Missouri State and Arkansas. Bush was also named Big 12 player of the week for that effort.
"It's always good to see your players get recognized around the conference," Francis said. "And she deserves it."
The Jayhawks kick off in San Diego at 39 to 10on.

Gov. plans bill veto
BY STEVE LAWRENCE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would veto a bill to legalize same-
sex marriage "out of respect for the will of the people," drawing
heated criticism from gay rights supporters and cheers from
conservative groups.
The bill, narrowly passed by lawmakers in the past week, would make California the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through its legislature.
But Schwarzenegger said Wednesday the legislation would conflict with the intent of voters.
"We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote," the governor's press secretary, Margita Thompson, said in a statement.
"I'm encouraged that the governor is going to stop the runaway Legislature, and he's going to represent the people," said Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute, a Sacramento group that lobbied against the bill.
But gay rights advocates said the Republican governor had betrayed the bipartisan ideals that helped get him elected in the 2003 recall election.
"Clearly he's pandering to an extreme right wing, which was not how he got elected," said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, one of the bill's sponsors. "He got elected with record numbers of lesbian and gay voters who had not previously voted for a Republican, and he sold us out."

KU won't overlook opponent
Kansas hoping to grow
BY RYAN COLAIANI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has said that a team's biggest progression comes from game one to game two. On Saturday, it will be clear how much the team has improved since last week's 30-19 victory against Florida Atlantic. The Jayhawks will look for answers from the quarterback position on Saturday. Mangino will use two quarterbacks: Senior Brian Luke and junior Adam Barmann.
"We are not going to tell you that they are a Big 12 team; They are not," Mangino said. "But are they capable of winning any game if the team they are playing against does not prepare well, does not stay focused, doesn't play smart football, you bet."
Kansas will face a division I-AA opponent this weekend in Appalachian State to help prepare them for the rigors of Big 12 Conference play. Mangino said the non-conference games were also important for younger players looking to gain experience. Mangino said that he would not approach the game any differently because Appalachian State is a Division I-AA opponent.
Mangino said he intended for his team to be ready and focused. A victory would move Korea to 2 on the podium.
POLYMER
season. The Jayhawks will likely rely on a solid running game like last week against Florida Atlantic. Senior running back Clark Green ran for more than 100 yards and the team ran for more than 200. The Jayhawk
offensive line opened large holes for the runners and also gave both quarterbacks time to look down field. The defense will look to prevent big plays that they gave up last weekend, in two 66-yard touchdown completions.
Kansas vs. Appalachian State Saturday 6 p.m. Memorial Stadium
"As a defense, we know that we are a big part of this team," senior linebacker Kevin Kane said. "We are going to have to step up and stop them on situations such as that."
Kane said the big plays were correctable and the defense would focus on not giving up big plays against Appalachian State. Kane said he did not plan to take Appalachian State lightly from a mental or physical perspective.

OFFENSE
The Kansas offense sputtered during most of the first half last week because of inconsistent play at the quarterback position. The offensive line did a good job of opening holes for the running game, as senior running back Clark Green ran for 107 yards. They also gave the quarterbacks time to throw the ball, and senior Brian Luke took chances downfield that were nearly caught. While a starting quarterback has not been set, look for the quarterbacks to try to right the ship after last week.
DEFENSE
Defense: The Kansas defense gave up two long touchdown plays against Florida Atlantic, both 66-yard bombs. The defensive line and linebackers, though, did stop the run, as they allowed just 70 rushing yards on 37 carries. They also did a good job of getting pressure on the quarterback. They will have to be just as successful this week in getting pressure on the quarterback, as they face another mobile quarterback.

nss Kansas special teams were great last week, sophomore kicker Scott Webb drilled two field goals and helped set Florida Atlantic off with poor field position with his booming kickoffs into the end zone. The special teams unit also made big tackles on returns that lengthened
the field for the Owls. Expect more of the same this week from a speedy group.

Coaches: Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has said all week that he will likely use two quarterbacks this weekend. He also said the starter would likely not be named until game time. Mangino found a way for his team to win last week after being down in the third quarter. Mangino should have the luxury to try some different players this week, as the team should be up big on Appalachian State in the second half.

DEFENSE
Offense: The offense is definitely the strong point for Appalachian State, as Walter Payton Award nominee quarterback Richie Williams will lead the team into Lawrence. Appalachian State features a no-huddle offense, which will attempt to keep the Kansas defense off-balanced and confused. Williams has more than 5,000 career passing yards, has thrown for 39 career touchdowns, and ran for 17 career touchdowns. His main targets at wide receiver are senior Jermaine Little and tight end Daniel Bettis. Appalachian State had 334 yards of total offense in its season opener versus Eastern Kentucky.

Defense: The defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses, as it let up 40 plus points in four games last season. In the season opener, Appalachian State allowed over 450 yards of total offense.The defense did get a much-needed boost last week, when sophomore safety Corey Lynch returned after missing all but two games of the 2004 season.In his first game, Lynch recorded seven tackles and also had two interceptions.

Looking for an upset
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SENIOR SWITTER WRITER
After winning its season opener, Appalachian State will come to Lawrence this weekend in its first ever game against a Big 12 Conference opponent.
Appalachian State's defense has been a major area of concern. The team allowed an average of 32 points a game last season, and although it held Eastern Kentucky to 16 points last weekend, it still let up 455 vards of total offense.
The defense has a knack for turnovers though, as it forced four turnovers last week.
Junior defensive lineman Marques Murrell, brother of former NFL running back Adrian Murrell, will lead the Appalachian State defense, after being named first team all conference last season. Murrell registered eight tackles, two-and-a-half sacks, three-and-a-half tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles in the season opener.
"He's not as big as your typical D-1 defensive ends, but he is athletic, strong and smart," senior quarterback Richie Williams said. "You want him on your team. He is just a real good plaker."
Williams will lead the offense which will look for a receiver to replace last season's conference player of the year DaVon Fowlkes. Fowlkes caught 103 passes last season for 1,618 yards and 14 touchdowns. After the first game, senior wide receiver Jermane Little seemed to be the leading candidate to replace Fowlkes, as he had more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown catch last week.
Appalachian State has some issues at the running back position. The team's leading rusher from a week ago was Kevin Richardson, who ran eight times for 30 yards. C.J. Underwood could also see some time at the position.
Appalachian State cracked the division 1-AA top 25 after its season opening victory. The team was ranked 25th, after spending nine weeks in the top 25 last year.
Kansas is not the only big time program the Mountaineers will face this season, as they will also travel to Boston.

Sigma Nu fraternity officials revoked the charter of the chapter at the University of Kansas. The officials recently concluded an investigation of allegations of misconduct at the fraternity.
Fraternity loses charter
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAT WRITER
Sigma Nu fraternity officials announced Friday that they have revoked the charter of the local chapter after concluding an internal investigation.
"Sigma Nu Fraternity cannot tolerate these activities that defy the fraternity's most basic values and principles." he said.
The decision, made by the fraternity's national board of directors, found the chapter and members in violation of policies involving the treatment of new members, said Brad Beacham, executive director of Sigma Nu.
The initial complaint was directed to the national headquarters. Sigma Nu officials responded to the complaint, but kept the University informed of the developments of the investigation.
Members of the fraternity understood they were under investigation, but hearing the news at a meeting Thursday evening left members upset, said Sigma Nu member Justin McAuley, Kansas City, Kan., junior.
"People in the house were shocked," he said. "Most of the people had it in the back of their mind but didn't believe it."
"The University is supportive of the Sigma Nu national office. Hazing of any kind is a violation of human dignity," said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success.
While not directly involved in the investigation, University officials stand by the decision of the national headquarters.
Jason Shaad, Derby senior and Sigma Nu president, said the punishment comes because
the national organization didn't see enough progress after an incident two years ago when the University placed the chapter on social probation.
In that incident, active members of the fraternity threw a prospective member into the air. The individual hit his head and had to be taken to the hospital.
The house made the requested changes at that time and continued to make improvements, Shaad said.
The changes included new house rules, a revamped education program for new members as well as an increase in the number of individuals recruited.
"It's frustrating. The officers have put so much time and effort into the house." Shaad said.
Members said they could have used more support from the national organization and local Sigma Nu alumni. A connection didn't develop between the three groups, Shaad said.
"More could have been done to help us instead of them going to the extreme and shutting our house down." he said.
With no charter, the University will no longer recognize Sigma Nu as a member of the Greek community. Most significantly, that means the members must find a new place to live.
The 57 members living in the house have 30 days to find a new place to live.
Shaad said he planned to live with some other members his age, but most of the members would wind up in different places.

ACTIVISM
Group delivers signed petition to chancellor
Protestors return to campus
BY FRANK TANKARD

KANKSAN STaff WRITE
A group of students and Lawrence citizens rallied against military recruitment on campus for the second time in three weeks on Friday.
About 20 people from a group called Lawrence Counter-Recruitment assembled in front of the Kansas Union at noon, gave a speech and then headed to Strong Hall and delivered a petition to Chancellor Robert Hemenway's office.
The group collected many of the approximately 300 signatures on the petition during an Aug. 25 rally on Wescoe Beach. The petition was addressed to Hemenay, Student Senate and Provost David Shulenburger.
"U.S. military policy blatantly contradicts the University's non-discrimination policy by actively discriminating against homosexuals, transgendered peoples and those in same sex relationships."
The petition demanded military recruiters and ROTC be booted from campus because of the war in Iraq and the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for queers. It contained the following statement:
Shortly after the group delivered the petition, the University issued the following statement:
"Those individuals have the right to protest the policy, just as students have the right to choose whether or not to seek
Don Steeple, vice provost for scholarly support, said kicking the military off campus would devastate the University financially. The Solomon Amendment, a law passed by Congress in 1996, requires universities to permit military recruitment on campus in order to receive federal funding.
Kim Coughlin, Lawrence senior and a member of the group, wasn't satisfied with that response.
career opportunities and service in the military."
"We would challenge the University to take a higher ground and say that in certain cases human dignity and human life are more important than funding," she said. "Funding can be found elsewhere."
The protests took on new urgency and meaning when the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2004 that tying federal funding to military recruitment violated universities' First Amendment rights.
Steeples said he didn't believe the third circuit court's ruling overturned the Solomon Amendment. The Supreme Court is expected to decide whether the law is constitutional in the next year.

Coughlin said Lawrence Counter-Recruitment would likely return to Strong Hall until they talked to Hemenway, who was in a meeting when the group delivered the petition.

Panel discusses terrorist attack

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Lawrence citizens gathered at the Lawrence Public Library to be a part of the September Project. Those in attendance listened to and discussed post-Sept. 11, 2001, issues on the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The September Project started at a library at Washington State University with the purpose of remembering Sept. 11 in a meaningful way at libraries around the world.
Shannon Portillo, Lawrence graduate student, was part of the committee that organized the event. She said this was the second year Lawrence was involved.
The committee, which made all the decisions about the project, was made up of six University of Kansas students who specialized in different areas, Portillo said.

42,000 tickets sold for Arrowhead game
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas Athletics Department is more than halfway toward selling out Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
Nearly 42,000 tickets had been sold for the game between Kansas and Oklahoma, with the Oct. 15 kick-off more than a month away, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. Arrowhead's capacity is 79,451.
Students who purchased a football season ticket package can pick up their ticket for the game Oct. 10-14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the ticket office on the west side of Memorial Stadium. Students are allowed to have one ticket for the game at the student price. Additional tickets can be purchased at the regular ticket price. Upper-level tickets are $35 and lower-level tickets are $55.
Kansas season ticket holders' seats at Arrowhead will be similar to their seats at Memorial Stadium. Marchiony said.
Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holders can purchase tickets to all events at the stadium, including college games and concerts. Nearly 4,000 tickets had been sold to 1,500 Chiefs season ticket holders, team officials said.
Marchiony said Oklahoma had already sold its allotment of 3,800 tickets. He said there was no way to tell at the moment which school's fans had bought individual tickets.
Arrowhead has played host to nearly 10 college football games since the stadium opened in 1972.

The department receives the revenue from ticket sales and the Chiefs receive money from parking and concession sales. Beer will be sold at Arrowhead because the game is off campus,

against Oklahoma in 2001, the game attracted 48,700 fans to Memorial Stadium. This season's game marks the first Jayhawks game at Arrowhead and the program's 55th game in Kansas City in 115 years of football. Kansas is 18-12-5 all-time in games played in Kansas City.
"Oklahoma is a name opponent, marquee name that has a lot of fans that will travel," Marchiony said.
Marchiony said the important factor for having a game at Arrowhead was there were already six home games at Memorial Stadium this season, similar to past seasons. A game that fans would travel to Kansas City would watch was also a key factor.
"We talked about it several times in the past and it made sense with so many alumni in the Kansas City area and from a recruiting standpoint, playing in a big NFL stadium," Marchiony said.

A parade was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the modern Jayhawk, created by Hal Sandy. He sold his sketch of the bird on decals to pay for his final few years in college, and then sold the copyright to the University of Kansas for $250 after his graduation in 1947. According to an article by KU professor Mark Hersey, "Jayhawk jubilee," Sandy though his payment was "a substantial amount of money."

The 1946 Jayhawk is the University's longest and most enduring symbol. The history of the Jayhawk dates back to the Civil War when the term was used to describe anti-slavery Kansans and set them apart from pro-slavery Bushwhackers. Even though some historical actions of the Jayhawkers are questionable, their ties to the Union victory and their anti-slavery stance has made the Jayhawk a source of state pride.
Clarence Chalmers Jr. succeeded W. Clarke Wescoe as the 11th Chancellor of the University of Kansas. Chalmers was officially installed Sept. 15, 1969. Student's classes were shortened by 30 minutes so they could attend the installation, which included a speech by then-Gov. Robert Docking.

ENTERTAINMENT 'Exorcism' scares its way to top of the box office
LOS ANGELES — "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" bedevelt its competition in its box-office debut this weekend, hauling in $30.2 million with its mix of courtroom drama and classic horror.
The film, inspired by true events follows a Catholic priest on trial for negligent homicide following the death of a satanically possessed 19-year-old.
Its PG-13 rating and cast, including Oscar nominees Tom Wilkinson, Laura Linney and Shoreh Aghdashloo, helped give it wide appeal, bumping last week's newcomer, "Transporter 2", from the No. 1 spot, according to studio estimates.
Overall revenue for this weekend's top 12 films was up 16 percent from the same period last year, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
total domestic gross to $82.3 million.
"Transporter 2" fell to third place with three-day estimated ticket sales of $7.2 million. The action sequel dropped below "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", which held on to the No. 2 spot in its fourth week with $7.9 million, boosting its
The critically panned "The Man", a buddy comedy that throws together federal agent Samuel L. Jackson and dental supply salesman Eugene Levy to solve a murder, opened in sixth place with $4.0 million.
"An Unfinished Life," which stars Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez in the story of a rancher reluctantly reunited with his estrange daughte-in-law, opened well in limited release, with $1.0 million and a per theater average of $7,264.
Meanwhile, "The Constant Gardener," starring Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz and based on a John le Carre novel, moved to fourth place in its second week. The film took in $4.8 million, bringing its total to $19.1 million, while playing on fewer than half the number of screens given to "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
Dergarabedian attributed the popularity of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," to its genre-bending style.
The film's debut marks the third biggest September opener, behind "Sweet Home Alabama" and the first "Rush Hour."

Nationwide shortage forces clinics to choose
HEALTH
BY TAMARAH DREITZ
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
In the spring of 2004, then-KU student Andy Marso was airlifted from Lawrence to the University of Kansas Medical Center to be treated for meningitis. Marso lost fingers and toes, as well as parts of hands and feet. Marso is expected to return to the Lawrence area this week.
This year, all students living in University housing are required to receive a meningitis vaccine, show documentation that they have already received the vaccine or sign a waiver stating they do not want to receive the vaccine, but understand the risk in refusing.
Students who receive the shot choose between two vaccines, Menactra and Menomume. According to the American College Health Association,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that universities require students living in student housing receive a meningitis shot. Meningitis is an infection of fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis can lead to problems with the nervous system, the loss of limbs and possibly death.
A nationwide meningitis vaccine shortage could cause problems for KU students.
"We have had several college students come into our clinic ... and we have had to turn them away."
DeeAnn Schoenfeld Immunization charge nurse
the demand for Menactra exceeds the supply that its manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, has made available.
"We have had several college students come into our clinic requesting the Menactra vaccine, and we have had to turn them away," said DeeAnn Schoenfeld, immunization charge nurse at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department. "We have stopped receiving supplies of Manetra because the company that makes the vaccine cannot keep up with the demands."
The Menactra vaccine carries some specific advantages. Menactra is thought to better stimulate the immune system and lasts twice as long as Menomune. Immunity from Menactra lasts 10 years compared to the five years Menomune lasts. Menactra hit the market last March. Because it is fairly new, there is not as
much background information on it. Menactra costs about $20 more than Menomune.
Most students who get the meningitis vaccination from Watkins Memorial Health Center will receive the Menomoum vaccination.
Students should not expect to receive the Menactra vaccine any time soon, either. According to a statement issued by Sanofi Pasteur, providers should expect periodic supply limitations until the company's new manufacturing facility is online in early 2008. Increasing quantities of the vaccine should be available by the end of this year.
"Our facility along with every public unit in the United States is getting an allotment of 20 Menactra vaccines per month." said Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center. "Once there are ample supplies, we will then start to convert over to Menactra because the vaccine does have a longer life."
Since the policy requiring the meningitis shot or a signed waiver was instituted, 60 percent of students living in student housing had chosen to receive the vaccination, Denning said. Two percent of students had signed the waiver and 38 percent had not responded.

Bundling boosts textbook prices

Norris and David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, said they were disappointed in the report.
GAO found that, in the last two decades, textbook prices have increased about 6 percent annually. The primary reason for the price increase was bundling, which is the packaging of textbooks with additional materials, such as CD-ROMs. According to NACS, the use of bundling is increasing because more instructors are requir-

URBAN RENEWAL
KC revitalizes corner famous for jazz
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It's been nearly two decades since there has been a corner to stand on at 12th and Vine, an intersection made famous in the song "Kansas City."
That hasn't stopped tourists from visiting the empty field east of downtown to get their pictures taken at the site in an area that once thrived.
On Sunday, a baby grand piano-shaped piece of land — and a parking lot painted to resemble piano keys — were formally
named "Goin' to Kansas City
Plaza at 12th Street and Vine."
The landscaped park will become a sculpture garden with trees and flower beds, ornamental lamps and a 13-foot plaque that tells the story of 12th Street, once the city's main drag.
"A lot of folk come here and take pictures, so now they can take a picture standing at the new street sign in a nice park," said Ollie Gates, a Kansas City barbecue magnate who was among those who worked for
a decade to create the park. "It also helps create some beauty in this area. This was a forgotten area and perceived as undesirable. Now look at it."
The area around 12th Street and Vine was cleared amid urban renewal efforts in the 1970s, and the streets were realigned in 1977. The city left a street sign to note the spot's significance.
From the 1930s to the 1950s, places such as the Reno Club, Orchid Room, Jockey Club and Boulevard Room thrived.
with jazz luminaries like Count Basie, Charlie Parker jamming all night at the local clubs.
"Almost every door you went in had a band," said Myra Taylor, a singer and dancer who started working on 12th Street in the 1930s. "They had so much to offer. Food, clubs, dancing, all up and down 12th Street.
A law enforcement crackdown on liquor in the late thirties hurt business at the clubs, and live musicians gradually were replaced with jukeboxes.
Female teen shot in west Lawrence
A 19-year-old female was arrested on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder of an 18-year-old female about 7 a.m. Friday, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department.

The 18-year-old was shot about 10:20 p.m. Thursday in the 600 block of Eldridge Street, Ward said.The victim's injuries were not life-threatening, he said.
TOPEKA - Partisans fighting over Attorney General Phill Kline's pursuit of abortion clinic records have burned up a good deal of time portraying it as a battle over something other than abortion.
Partisans fight over abortion records
Kline's fellow abortion opponents have emphasized his stated desire to go after predators who sexually abuse young girls. County prosecutors who've sided with Kline have said he's also fighting to preserve their ability to investigate crime.
The clinics argue the sanctity of patients' medical records is at stake. If Kline prevails, no one's medical records may be private, they contend.
But an hour's worth of arguments last week before the Kansas Supreme Court and the spin surrounding them only served to emphasize that abortion is the issue.
Kline is aggressively pursuing the clinics. Eric Rucker, his chief deputy, told the Supreme Court he believes each record contains evidence of multiple crimes on their part — which would amount to several hundred misdemeanors and felonies.

Relatives remember victims of attacks
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2005
BY AMY WESTFELDT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — America mourned the victims of Sept. 11 on Sunday as the siblings of the deceased read their loved ones' names to a weeping crowd at the site where the World Trade Center once stood.
One by one, the names of the dead echoed across the site where the twin towers collapsed four years ago in a nightmarish cloud of dust and debris. The ceremony drew to a close after four hours, the time it took to read the 2,749 names.
"Mom and Dadache for you every minute," Linda Giammona-Julian said to her brother, Vincent Giammona, one of 343 firefighters killed. "We love you and we watch; ti me meet again."
Relatives in the crowd bowed their heads and sobbed as speakers uttered brief, personal messages to the brothers and sisters they lost, many voices breaking in sorrow.
"My big sister, my better half, life will never be the same without you," Rolando Moreno said to Yette Moreno, who worked for
a brokerage in the north tower.
As the names were read, weeping mourners filed down a ramp to a reflecting memorial pool at the floor of the site, which remains virtually empty four years after the attack killed 2,749 people and tore a hole in the New York skyline. Families filled the water with red, orange and yellow roses, some shaking as they inscribed dedications on the wooden edge of the pool.
The ceremony came as Hurricane Katrina left Americans once again struggling with a catastrophe that caught the nation unprepared and left citizens dead and grieving.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg opened with words of condolence for those devastated by Katrina and the terrorist bombings in the London Underground.
"To Americans suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, our deepest sympathies go out to you this day," Bloomberg said.
In New Orleans, New York firefighters helping with the relief effort gathered around a makeshift memorial for their fallen comrades, accepting the gift of a bell from a nearby
church_whose steeple was destroyed in the storm.
Rescue workers in Biloxi, Miss., took a break from searching for the storm's missing to remember those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks. At a special Mass, parishioners applauded and thanked two retired New York City firefighters for their efforts on the Gulf Coast.
For the local emergency workers, honoring their New York comrades while dealing with their own destruction was particularly important.
"Now we can relate," said Deputy Biloxi Fire Chief Kirk Noffsinger.
The ground zero ceremony paused for moments of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time at which a hijacked jelliner crashed into the north tower, at 9:03 a.m., the moment a second plane struck the south tower, at 9:59 a.m., when the south tower fell and at 10:29 a.m., when the second tower collapsed.
Many relatives looked to the clear, bright morning sky as they spoke to the brothers and sisters they lost. Several held up photos of their loved ones.
Sigma Nu officials would like to return to campus and re-establish the fraternity on campus "in the near future," Beacham said.
Charter

Sigma Nu has been a member of the University's greek community for 121 years.

"Sigma Nu appreciates KU's long-standing commitment to building a vibrant and successful greek community and we look forward to being a part of that community again," Beacham said.
This marks the second time
in six months that a national organization has revoked the charter of a local chapter.
Last April, Phi Kappa Theta had its charter revoked after the fraternity hosted an unregistered party. The Interfraternity Council Board later expelled the chapter from campus.

Discussion

Diverse perspectives were represented, including four university students who were part of an international perspectives panel. Each of the four was from a different continent.
The need for security in their home countries and American perceptions of foreigners were popular topics.
Kengo Terada, Kashiwa Japan, senior, said after Sept. 11, Japan realized it may need to protect itself from another country or another group outside of Japan.
"I understand why, but I don't think it's the right thing." Burduli said. "It needs

Burduli told a story about was flying to New York City. When his plane landed, he turned on his cell phone to call a friend who was supposed to meet him there. When he spoke in his native language, everyone on the plane looked at him.
"They thought I was a terrorist," he said. "I could see their scared faces. It was too weird."
Julia Melim Coelho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, junior and University Daily Kansan columnist, said arriving in the United States as an international student after Sept. 11 made her feel vulnerable.
She said the first time she came after Sept.11,it took three hours to get through customs.
"The first impression you have is people asking all sorts of questions. It feels really invasive," Coelho said. "They get your fingerprints and your picture, just like getting arrested."

Kengo Terada Kashiwa, Japan, senior

Portillo said last year only 50 people attended, a number matched this year by the end of the first panel.
She said she wants to expand the project for next year, and she is looking for volunteers to help with planning. To be a part of the committee, send and email to septpro@ku.edu.

EDITORIAL
Roberts a responsible choice
Nearly two months have passed since John Roberts was first nominated to serve on the Supreme Court and, by now, decision makers in Washington have a pretty good idea of the type of man they are being asked to confirm. Despite this, many are still calling for long and detailed hearings in the hope that Mr. Roberts can be pinned down and made to look bad enough that his nomination can be defeated. Instead of political posturing and partisan tactics, though, what needs to happen now is a quick confirmation of Mr. Roberts.
It is true that Mr. Roberts will be stepping into a important position if he is indeed confirmed as the next Chief Justice, but this is no reason to delay his confirmation. One common complaint that has recently surfaced is that the next Chief Justice should be someone with more experience who is already on the court. This argument is specious, though, because the
last three Chief Justices before William Rehnquist (Burger, Warren and Vinson) were all appointed directly to the top position and did just fine. It is also absurd to suggest that Mr. Roberts, who clerked on the Court for Mr. Rehnquist, would be so inexperienced as not to be able to perform his job.
Despite this complaint and the outcries from many on the left about the need to further vet Mr. Roberts and ask him specific questions about hot-button issues, Mr. Roberts is probably about the best compromise candidate there is right now, which only strengthens the argument that he should be confirmed as the next Chief Justice. Sure, he has a solid track record as a conservative and has argued in the past that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned (the greatest anathema there is to the political left), but he also has moderate views, which no one seems to be interested in reporting. For instance, many
conservatives were shocked to find out that he helped, pro bono, a gay rights group to overturn a Colorado state law. Many may also be interested to learn that although he has often argued against affirmative action, he has also argued for it in certain circumstances. And, even though he has argued against Roe vs. Wade, he has also recently made comments that he respects precedent and that the Roe ruling is "settled law." (For NARAL members out there, that's conservative code word for, "I won't overturn it.")
More importantly than his views, though, is the fact that he is extremely well-qualified. Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, who has been an ACLU lawyer and has an obvious prochoice position, was confirmed to the Supreme Court nearly unanimously based not on her views, which were opposed by more than the three senators who voted against her, but on the fact that she
was extremely well-qualified. Mr. Roberts is no different. He has distinguished himself beginning in college when he graduated summa cum laude, through his time as a clerk for the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, until now, as a judge of the DC Court of Appeals (a post for which he was confirmed by unanimous consent). He has been given the American Bar Association's highest rating of "well-qualified" and there is absolutely nothing in his record that would indicate that he would do anything less than a spectacular job.
With all of the other problems that our nation is trying to come to grips with right now and another vacancy on the Court that needs to be filled, the last thing the country needs is a drawn out confirmation battle about a person who genuinely deserves to be on the Supreme Court.

▼ LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Columnist trivialized hurricane coverage
The issues surrounding the New
I am writing in response to Alaide Vilchis' article "What in the World." While I agree that news coverage of the world in smaller papers such as the Kansan and the Lawrence Journal-World is subpar, her comparison to Hurricane Katrina is beyond appalling.
"...Heroes emerge every day to reach out to the victims of Hurricane Katrina."
Orleans disaster are tremendously vast and complex.
Matters have arisen that have made the American people question the efficacy of their government, the 'Intelligent Design' that would allow such a tragedy to happen and the things that matter most (i.e. family).
tory evacuations, to the diseased water pervading the city, New Orleans will never be the same.
Ibarna states, "Americans seem to care more about the latest miracle weight loss pill than the 4,000 people in Ukraine potentially dying because of radioactivity."
From the looting, to the manda
I disagree.
As American citizens continue to outreach to the thousands of refugees from Mississippi and Louisiana.
Americans are actually caring more about each other than anyone could ever fathom. We may not be in close proximity to help the 4,000 people in Ukraine, but heroes emerge every day to reach out to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
If ibarra would like better coverage of world events, she should read the New York Times, not trivialize a natural disaster that has deeply distressed the entire country to its frightening core.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sarah Stacy's love of alteration seems contagious among all Kansan writers.
Legislation hits pocket books
With the start of classes comes the headache of making sure the tuition bill is paid. But for students with grants and loans, their ability to afford school will become dramatically reduced in the near future. Recently, lawmakers proposed the largest cut ever, an estimated $9 billion, to the federal student aid programs when they passed H.R. 609 out of the House Education Committee.
An article in The Chronicle of Higher Education states that
H. R. 609, cleverly named the College Access and Opportunity Act, is anything but an opportunity for students receiving federal loans. Tuition prices at all Kansas Institutions of Higher education increase annually. Unfortunately, this legislation puts affordable higher education even further out of reach for students. This bill freezes funding for grant programs, hikes student loan interest rates, and charges students bigger up-front fees to borrow.
lawmakers believe an additional $2 billion of further cuts when Congress reconvenes. Currently, almost 100,000 students will lose their Pell Grants. Countless others will experience significant decreases in the face of soaring tuition prices.
This legislation also fails to include a vital piece of legislation that would significantly help students attend higher education institutions. The Student Aid Reward Act (STAR) or H.R. 1425, would provide more then $17 billion in student financial aid without any burden to tax payers. In fact, every year the program
Average student debt in this country is higher than $17,500. H.R. 609 will add an additional $5,800 through fees and interests rates while simultaneously cutting the amount students can receive in financial support. Every student who receives federal financial loans will feel the effects of this legislation.
would create more revenues that could be funneled into education.
Instead, atrocious cuts in the higher education budget are going to pay off the national debt. As fiscally unsound as this legislation is, H.R. 609 is an even worse education policy. At a time when tuition rates are soaring, Congress should be working to send more students to college rather than cutting financial aid budgets.
This is the wrong direction for our country's future. Congress is scheduled to vote on the measure on September 26th. Log onto www.house.gov in order to contact your respective legislators. Let them know that they should do the right thing for Kansans and vote against the irresponsible policies that H.R. 609 proposes.

GOOD TO GO
Discussing Good influences
Let me ask you a question:
Who is your hero? And I mean
your real hero, not some fictional
creation you saw a movie about.
During some recent job training, I was asked this very question. After learning that I could not use Spider-Man as my answer, I found this question surprisingly hard to answer.
Many people in the group answered their parents, which is an entirely understandable reaction. With rare exception, one's parents are the most influential people during the most formative years of life.
After my initial impulse to say my parents as well, I stopped and thought about my answer. Yes, my parents have been incredibly helpful to me, and I would not be who I am today without them. But I'd like to think my parents know that, and they are certainly not the only people who have done those things for me.
Staying within my family, I can think of many other people I would describe as heroes. My grandfather is a good example.
He is a World War II veteran, having served a tour of duty in the Pacific, which continues to blow my mind. The idea that someone related to me actually fought for a cause such as that inspires me every day and makes me infinitely proud both of my family and of my country.
During my life, my grandfather has also been a continual source of inspiration and advice. All of my grandparents have always been proud of me, but he is the only one who has ever vocalized specifically why. I have dozens of memories of sitting down with him and having him
RYAN GOOD
opinion@kansan.com
P. A. P.
tell me how talented and gifted I was, and of him encouraging me to use my abilities to reach my goals, no matter how lofty those goals might have been.
This may sound like a routine grandparent-grandchild relationship, but to me it is not. My grandfather is a relatively humble man, as is most of my family. To have him to this day tell me that I am smart, that I can do anything I want, has been a direct influence on me, and is a primary reason that I am ambitious.
Another person who I could describe as a hero is a professor here on campus.
Many people meet faculty members with whom they develop strong relationships — relationships that help many people to navigate the countless challenges of university life and to obtain a degree.
I met Mary Klayder through the Honors Program at the university, and she quickly became my de facto resource for help when it came to advising. She also accompanied a group of students and me to London on a study abroad trip, helping us to become friends as well.
Mary is a hero to me not because she has all the answers (even though she usually does) but because she legitimately cares. When a student goes to her and says they can't finish a
paper because they have family issues, she'll make time to sit down with them and talk about what's going on. She'll happily slip into any role that you want her to, be it adviser, teacher, or simply a friendly face.
For example, a good friend of mine recently returned from an internship in San Francisco. From the time she got back, she's been more than willing to listen and talk about any issue, and sympathizes with me even when it doesn't make sense for her to. Since she's been back in town I've been able to get a lot off of my chest, and I don't ever feel she's judged a single word that has come out of my mouth. This week, Kate's been a hero to me.
Finally, I've recently realized that someone can be a hero to me for a brief amount of time. I wouldn't describe most of my friends as my own personal heroes, but there are instances when they can all be heroic.
The fact is we can all be heroes. During that training exercise, almost everyone in the room mentioned someone they know as a hero. All of the people who have been heroes to me have been individuals with whom I've had personal relationships. By making a difference in my life, they've been heroic in my eyes.
In the cynical world we live in, I think it's important to remind those close to us what they mean to us. I encourage you to do the same. To Mom, Dad, Grandpa Sheehan, Mary and Kate: You'll always be heroes to me.

Sometimes I like to stand around the newspaper stand and follow somebody who picks up a copy.
I follow them to their classes and sit behind them to see if they laugh at my comics.
If not, I stick a piece of paper on their back that says "I put this on myself to be funny!"

Martin defines talents in movie
BY DAVID GERMAIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — More so than at perhaps any other time in his career, Steve Martin, 60, has a film that showcases his versatility.
"Shopgirl" started with Martin's prose, his best-selling novella about a depressive wallflower pursued by a rich older man and an awkward young slacker. It comes to the theater via Martin's own screenplay adaptation, which turned a highly internalized tale with minimal dialogue into a camera-friendly story.
It also features one of the finer in Martin's growing range of quiet, restrained performances as he fills the role of the lonely older man looking for love while settling for sex with a woman half his age. And as the producer, Martin helped stitch together a pitch-perfect cast that includes Claire Danes as the wallflower and Jason Schwartzman as the slacker.
The only thing missing is the wild-and-crazy physical comedy that has been a trademark of Martin's biggest successes, from "The Jerk" and "All of Me" to "Bringing Down the House" or "Cheaper By The Dozen."
Dismissed by critics in the 1970s as an anti-intellectual, banjo-toting buffoon with a fake arrow through his head, Martin has undergone a gradual transformation since the mid-1980s to become an esteemed writer and performer.
▼ HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 12, 2005. Your creativity comes into play in whatever area of your life you focus on. Financially, you might become a mini-expert in how to handle your funds. You find solutions and see no problems, only challenges. Children could play an important role in your life. If you are artistic, you could create one of your best works. Others act up and are unpredictable. On some level, you find this behavior exciting. If you are single, romance will knock on your door, perhaps more than once. Knowing how you want to feel with this person and the type of relationship you desire can make all the difference in your choices. If you are attached, you act like new lovers again. A surprise could come along in the form of a new addition, if you are at that stage of life.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Responsibility, community activity and/or elder relatives demand your time and attention. Instinctively, you know what to
do and say. In fact, on some level, you are on cruise control. You might be surprised by how your views are changing. Tonight: Handle only what you must.
**** Your ability to distance yourself from a situation and take an overview could be instrumental in solving a problem. Others might be stunned by your solution. You know when to walk off the beaten path. Check out answers with experts. Tonight: Catch up on news.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Togetherness proves to be a winning combination, be it at work, in your daily life or in your personal life. You could surprise someone with your reaction. You don't always walk the tried-and-true path. Tonight: Chat over dinner.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
might take more than your share of talent. In fact, you might as well give up and let others dominate today. You are popular, as are your views. Still, evaluate others' ideas. Tonight: Go along for the ride.
***** Where others could be stymied by events or someone, you seem to be able to read right through the situation or person. You also recognize that someone is changing right before your very eyes. Let your humor ease tension. Tonight: Be more kidlike.
**** You cannot avoid what you need to do. Whether you work, are retired or are a housewife or -husband, you have a lot of ground to cover. A partner or associate comes up with a surprise, which could impact your daily life. Tonight: Stop working. Let go of responsibilities.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**** Getting anything accomplished
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ If you can work from home or stay close to home, you might surprise yourself with how much you can and will accomplish. Soothe your nerves through a walk or some kind of stress-buster. Tonight: Snuggle in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
***** Say what you think, but don't be surprised by the responses you might trigger. What is good is that the thinking process opens up new and different ideas, people and solutions. Tonight: Catch up on a pal's news.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You might be unusually single-minded in what you do today. Your focus might be hard to break, with the exception of a family member or domestic issue. You know what you want; go get it. Tonight: Revamp your budget.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
***** You have the Moon in your sign emphasizing your normal inclinations. You can create what you want, whether you are aware of it or not. Others are drawn to you. Unpredictability marks an interaction. Tonight: As you wish.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★ Your intuition can save the day, especially with finances. Pull back some, and do your own thinking and reflecting. Not everything is as it seems or as others are telling you. Go on your own fact-finding mission. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Brittany Hills has met Big Jay numerous times, but she still gets excited about the thought of posing for a picture with the Jayhawks' mascot. On Saturday, Brittany and her sister, Timory, got more than that.

The Capital One Mascot Challenge made its second stop of its 13-week tour at Memorial Stadium on Saturday before Kansas' football game against Appalachian State. Big Jay was on hand to meet fans and encourage them to vote for him in the mascot challenge.
Brittany, 11, and Timory, 8, traveled with their mother all the way from Sedan, near the Oklahoma border, just to see their favorite bird. They left with pictures of Big Jay, autographed shirts and smiles on their faces.
"He's cool," Brittany said. "We meet him every time we come to KU football or volleyball games."
Capital One
The mascot challenge is an 11-week competition where mascots compete head-to-head with a different mascot each week. Fan voting will determine the winner of the battle of the beasts. Big Jay was in a head-to-head competition with Butch T. Cougar, the Washington State mascot, last week. The results of that competition will be announced today. This week,
he will match up with Bruiser of UCLA.
The six mascots with the most head-to-head victories during an 11-week period will advance to the playoffs, which consist of three weeks of nose-to-nose competition between the top mascots. The winner will receive $10,000 for the school's mascot program.
Former Kansas City Chief Curtis McClinton poses with a fan during the Capital One Mascot Challenge.
The mascot tour is part of Capital One's effort to give the fans an opportunity to get to know their favorite mascots, said Wesley Ward, Capital One's event coordinator for the mascot tour. Each week, they will visit the home of one of the mascots on the All-America team.
The challenge is also fun for the school and the fans, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
"Capital One is celebrating the unsung hero," Ward said. "We are giving the mascots their day in the sun."
Former and current Kansas football players are also getting involved. Curtis McClinton, who played professionally with the Kansas City Chiefs and was a member of the 1969 Super Bowl Championship team, joined Big Jay at the pregame festivities. He signed autographs, took pictures and chatted with fans. He said he voted for Big Jay many times already and was excited to get out and encourage fans to do the same.

"I think it is a positive experience to be able to take pictures and explain to kids about my career and my Super Bowl ring," McClinton said. "I would like fans to reach out and support the University in this challenge."
Current Kansas linebacker Kevin Kane said he wasn't quite as on the ball with voting as McClinton, but he said that was about to change.
"I am going to go home and vote right now," Kane said after the Jayhawks' victory against Appalachian State.

with even shots and even corners," Francis said.
Kansas held the lead for only 12 more minutes before Pepperdine midfielder Emily Wynne drove in the first goal of her career and tied the match at a goal apiece.
In the 65th minute, Pepperdine midfielder Kelsey Quane scored her first goal of the season, putting the Waves up 2-1.
From 28 yards out, the shot was too high for sophomore keeper Colleen Ouinn.
Quinn was replaced by freshman keeper Julie Hanley.
"We were actually a little fatigued and we made some mental mistakes." Francis said.
Gault scored again in the 79th minute from an assist from senior forward Caroline Smith.
With less than seven minutes left in regulation, Pepperdine forward Megan Woods broke away.
The unassisted score was Woods' second game winning goal of the season.
"They got beat but even though they were tired, they still found extra energy," Francis said.
The Kansas victory came from Friday's 1-0 victory against San Diego, Kansas' third shutout.
In a night of firsts, the game marked the first Kansas road match, its first game under lights and the first game-winner by freshman midfielder Missy Geha.
Quinn was there to clear shots on goal. The Jayhawk keeper collected a career-high seven saves.
Kansas will have its next game against UC-Irvine this Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Luke gets his starting role
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPECIALISTS WRITTERS
After three seasons as Kansas' backup quarterback, senior Brian Luke has reached the top of the depth chart.
Luke started Saturday's contest against Appalachian State and took advantage of the opportunity. Luke completed 17 of 26 passes for more than 200 yards. He also pounded out a one-yard touchdown run.
"This is what I have been working for my entire five years here," Luke said. "It feels good to be out there starting."
Luke said he practiced with the first string last week and assumed he would be the starting quarterback. He said although it took a long time to become the starter, it was worth the wait.
After the game, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he expected Luke to be the starter for next week's game against Louisiana Tech.
"Unless there is something that really shocks me while I watch tape tomorrow morning, I suspect he will be the starter for the La. Tech game," Mangino said.
Mangino said the mistakes that Luke made could be corrected. Luke threw an interception deep inside Appalachian State territory at the end of the first half.
"He had one bad series that he fell out of syne for whatever reason," Mangino said. "Outside of that, I thought he managed the game well."
Junior quarterback Adam Barmann saw limited action as his one pass attempt fell short.
Freshman Marcus Herford, who took a redshirt last season, saw unexpected time at the quarterback position Saturday night.
Herford was recruited as a quarterback, but switched positions to wide receiver before the season. After not playing in the first game, Herford entered Saturday's game in the third quarter as a quarterback. He finished the night running for 42 yards on five carries. He also completed two passes for 16 yards.
Mangino said Herford would continue to see playing time at the quarterback position, but would also see playing time at wide receiver when the time is right.
"Marcus is a really good athlete, and we just feel like he can bring us a little spark," Mangino said. "He can run the ball extremely well, and manage the game when he has to."
Herford will be a situational quarterback for now, which means Mangino will only play him when he thinks the time is right in the game.

Fans love Luke, Gordon
Loudest applause during player introductions;
Luke"
Chears to Charles Gordon:
best sign: "Cool Hand Luke"
Brian Luke takes home the prize. He's definitely the quarterback of choice for Kansas fans. Best siren: "Cool Hand."
Fans have been expecting Gordon to bust loose on a punt return and they got their wish twice on Saturday. His first crowdpleaser got called back, but Gordon was able to show off his nifty moves again in the third quarter. Gordon is indeed the fan favorite.
Cheers to John Cornish.
Those who stuck around for his 58-yard run in the fourth quarter loved what they saw. If he keeps delivering high-light-reel runs, he might push Gordon for big man on campus. He needs to watch the five yard line.
Cheers also to jean skirts:
Definitely appropriate apparel on game day.
Jeers to the dudes who sported the jean shorts and Appalachian State T-shirts. Good try, but anyone who caught a glimpse saw a little more than they would have liked to see.

Chiefs overcome injuries, beat Jets
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City Chiefs simply were hoping to improve one of the NFL's sorriest defenses, not open the season with the first shutout of the NewYork Jets in almost a decade.
Although weakened by first- half injuries to two starters, the Chiefs' defense held the mistake-prone Jets out of the end zone until the final half-minute yesterday en route to a 27-7 victory.
Larry Johnson rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries and Priest Holmes added 85 yards and a touchdown for a fast-starting Kansas City offense that scored 17 points on its first three possessions.

The Chiefs' defense then made sure that was more than enough, forcing seven fumbles and recovering two.

Kellis: Yes.
Kellis: I told myself, before the year started, that I'd smoke a cigar after every Kansas victory, but I don't know if I will after defeating Appalachian State.
Travis: Well, did you smoke one last week?
Kellis: Last week was the first game of the season and it was at least against a Division I team.
Travis: What's the difference then? Both games were supposed to be easy victories.
Travis: I'm a little worried about next week though. Our offense still doesn't look that good.
Kellis: Barmann was the undisputed starter two weeks ago. Now, a guy who wasn't even listed on the depth chart is the backup?
Kellis: Louisiana Tech got killed at Florida.
Travis: Not necessarily. If Luke got hurt do you really think the coaching staff would put Herford, a freshman who doesn't know the system yet, in the game? I think they were just testing him.
Kellis: I'm a little surprised that freshman Marcus Herford played at quarterback in front of junior Adam Barmann.
Travis: Kansas is a lot different from Florida.
Travis: Herford looked good. I think he was put in there because Kansas was playing Appalachian State and the coaches wanted to see what he could do.
Kellis: Barmann only played one series and threw one pass. If Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was interested in him being the backup, he would have played the whole second half.
Travis: Regardless, Herford looked solid and made plays.
Kellis: He's definitely a good change of pace, but opposing teams will know that Kansas is going to run the ball every time he gets in the game.
that. Herford completed more passes than Barmann.
Travis: I don't know about
Kellis: But when Barmann was at quarterback, he led the Jayhawks to a touchdown.
Travis: All he did was hand the ball off to junior running back Jon Cornish, who gained every yard. I could have played quarterback on that drive.

Junior running back leads Jayhawks to victory with three rushing touchdowns, 104 yards on 10 carries

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas' rushing attack would not be denied Saturday night.
Junior running back Jon Cornish led the charge and rushed for 104 yards on 10 carries. Cornish scored three times on the night.
Kansas backs ran for 207 yards and four touchdowns in a 36-8 victory against Appalachian State Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
His three touchdowns are the most rushing touchdowns in a game since Bill Whittimore rushed for three against Tulsa in 2002.
"Jon is a talented young guy and slowly but surely he is putting his game together." Mangino said. "He is pretty close to becoming a complete player, which is something we need him to be."
Cornish's longest run of the night came in the fourth quarter when he scampered 58 yards down the field, only to trip over his own feet at the five-yard line. Cornish capped off the drive with his third touchdown of the evening.
The drive put the Jayhawks up 33-8. Cornish accumulated all 75 of the drive's vards.
Kansas found the endzone on the ground twice more for a total of five trips. Senior running back Clark Green and senior quarterback Brian Luke each had a rushing touchdowns as well.
Green rushed for 55 yards on 15 carries.
Mangino said he liked the way Cornish ran the ball, but he needed to improve the other areas of being a running back.
"It's all the other aspects of his game that he really has to stay on top of: his pass protection, his ability to block in the run game
itself." Mangino said.
The crowd of 37,070 also saw a successful passing attack.
Luke was 17-for-26 through the air for 212 yards. Kansas racked up 228 yards passing overall.
The offense gathered 435 yards of total offense.
Mangino said before the game that a team made its most progress from the first game to the second.
"I think the offense is starting to come together a little bit," Mangino said after the game. "I thought our passing game was much improved over last week in terms of running routes and getting the ball where they should be."
Luke started 4-for-5 for 86 yards in the first quarter, highlighted by a 59-yard pass to junior wide receiver Brian Murph as the quarter wound down.
The pass set up the first score of the game — a Green four-yard touchdown run.
After the game, Mangino said — barring anything drastic on the tape of the game — Luke would be the team's starting quarterback against Louisiana Tech next week.
"Other than the pick that he threw down there before the half where he under threw the post, I thought he managed the game pretty well." Mangino said. "I thought he made some good throws. I thought he did a good job checking. I am pleased overall."
Luke, freshman Marcus Herford and junior Adam Barmann all took snaps at quarterback.
Herford entered the game with 5-44 remaining in the third quarter. He rushed 18-yards on his first two plays. Herford played just three snaps before Luke returned. Herford finished the contest with 42 yards on five
carries.
Barmann entered on the Jay-hawks' first drive of the fourth quarter and went 0-for-1.
Senior linebacker Nick Reid led the Jayhawks with 14 tackles and senior linebacker Banks Floodman forced a fumble on
the Mountainer's first series of the game. Appalachian State marched down the field before Floodman caused the fumble along the goal line.
Football Notes:
♦ Scott Webb's missed field
goal in the second quarter was the first miss of his career. Before the miss, he was a perfect 31-31.
On the season, Cornish has just 14 carries but has accumulated 149 yards and four touchdowns.

Still defeated, the Waves (5-0-0) proved they could pass the test the Jayhawks (3-2-1) handed them, using their powerful and well-rested offense.
Senior defender Holly Gault scored two goals for the Jayhawks in the loss.
Kansas beat San Diego on Friday night before its loss to Peperdine. The Waves only played the Jayhawks in the invitational.
"They didn't play Friday, which made them a little fresher and it made a little bit of difference in the end of the game," Kansas coach Mark Francis said.
Pepperdine was supposed to play Tulane in its first game, but the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina canceled the match up.
Kansas struck first yesterday on a well-placed corner kick from freshman forward Jessica Bush in the 25th minute of play. Using her head rather than her foot, Gault knocked the ball past Pepperdine goalkeeper Ana Picarelli.

Kansas brings brooms to tournament
The Kansas volleyball team wrapped up the non-conference portion of its schedule by winning the Pizza Hut Jayhawk Invitational in decisive fashion this weekend.
The Jayhawks improved to 8-1 with the perfect weekend. Kansas will begin Big 12 Conference play this Wednesday when it plays host to Texas A&M.
Kansas started the tournament by beating Virginia Commonwealth in three games on Friday afternoon.
The match proved to be the closest of the three Kansas matches during the weekend.

Dear Jayhawk,
Studying abroad opens up a world of opportunity to thousands of college students every year. Academically, students get the chance to study topics they may never have the opportunity to on the KU Lawrence campus. It is a mind-expanding and life-altering experience. Just ask study abroad alumni. This past summer, we asked KU alums, who studied abroad while in college, how the study abroad experience affected their life. The responses were wonderful and so many we haven't the space here to go into great detail. Turn to the back page for a sample.
One KU alum, writes in this issue about her experience studying abroad in the UK. One of your best resources for information on studying abroad can be a student who has returned from studying abroad. You'll find several experiences related here in this issue.
Our Fall Study Abroad Fair is another great opportunity for you to meet with students who have returned from studying abroad. The Study Abroad Fair is this Wednesday, September 14, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Kansas Union. You will have the opportunity to speak with returned students, faculty and OSA staff about studying abroad as well as pick up information on all of KU's study abroad programs.
Your next step is to stop by the Office of Study Abroad Resource Library, located in 109 Lippincott Hall. The library, open 8-5, Monday through Friday, is staffed with Peer Advisors who can answer your questions and help you discover your options. They can help you figure out the next step in choosing a program, direct you to information on scholarships, and provide names of Study Abroad alumni who would be happy to talk to you about their experiences. The Peer Advisors are also recent study abroad participants, so they are not only familiar with what KU has to offer but they also remember well what the process was like for them.
See you at the Fair. . and remember if you are interested in studying abroad over Winter Break, Spring Break or the Spring semester the deadline for applying is October 1!
Sincerely,
Stacey Satchell
Outreach Coordinator
Office of Study Abroad
P. S. Remember the Office of Study Abroad has opportunities to study abroad in over 50 countries and in 20 languages! We also have many programs taught through the English language. Come in and find the program that is right for you.

[Image of a stone tunnel with arches and a ceiling made of stucco.]
New Year appropriately ... In the snow.
When the snow fell in September, I knew it was going to be a long year...
Abby Mills studied abroad in Russia on an NSEP David L. Boren Undergraduate Scholarship for Study Abroad
Despite temperatures that dropped to -30 Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit), my semester in Siberia and the following semester in St. Petersburg were marked by warmth more than cold.
I first heard of Gorno-Altaisk, Russia - a small town on the border with China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan - when a group of students and faculty from Gorno-Altaisk State University visited Lawrence on a scientific exchange. I started working with the group and traveled to Gorno-Altaisk in the summer of 2004, before beginning my fall semester there on a grant from the National Security Education Program.
The grant was to study journalism and Russian in Russia. I chose St. Petersburg to study journalism because I was already familiar with the university there. Gorno-Altaisk State University does not have a journalism school, but I decided that my first semester would be better spent in a place more isolated from English-speaking foreigners, who are everywhere in St. Petersburg. I also think that Americans know so little about Russia in general - I wanted to experience a Russia outside the Western strongholds of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Seeing such a remote part of Russia is a rare opportunity unavailable to most Russians, let alone most Westerners.
I also found a new group of soul mates. In Russian the word "friend" is not used lightly. It implies complete dedication and commitment. My new friends led me through the complexities of living in a foreign culture and taught me the language better than any classroom. They were the support system that allowed me to take in all the beauty of such an amazing culture and the soft ground to pad my fall on those rough days when I just couldn't take one more day of this backwards country.
These human connections are the essence of the study abroad experience. I studied Russian for four years before my trip to Russia, but arrived not able to communicate. I somewhat spoke the language, but lacked the essential cultural background knowledge
Winter or Spring Break a great time to go abroad...
Can't devote a semester or year to study abroad? Short-term programs are a great way for students to complete discipline-specific credits while experiencing another culture. KU will offer a number of short-term programs during Winter and Spring Break this year. All courses are taught in English.
Winter Break: Marine Biology, Field Studies in the Caribbean Bonaire is a tropical coral reef island in the Southern Caribbean. The course will focus on the ecology of estuaries and oceans from population to ecosystem levels. The trip will include 12 days of diving as well as explorations of terrestrial and cultural habitats.
Winter Break: Theatre & the Arts in Prague, Czech Republic This program consists of six evening seminar meetings from October to December in which various aspects of Czech history and culture are introduced. The course culminates in a 12-day study trip to Prague in January. The trip will include lectures by local scholars, visits to museums and other local sites, and evenings at the theatre. A special emphasis will be placed on contemporary theatre.
NEW! Winter Break: The Costa Rica Experience
NEW! Winter Break. The Costa Rica This 12-day program offers Honors program students the opportunity to investigate a variety of current issues in Costa Rican politics, culture, and environmental conservation through lectures, field trips to sites of interest, and individual research projects.
Spring Break: Humanities and Western Civ. England - Enroll in a specially designated section of Western Civilization II on the Lawrence campus this spring and spend Spring Break in London visiting museums, historic buildings, and other locations related to course content. Assignments, examinations and discussion activities will integrate Western Civilization II readings with London venues.
Spring Break: The London Review
The London Review allows Honors Program students to plan and research a visit to London, to spend Spring Break visiting London, and to create a publication of reviews and essays about their stay. Students attend class weekly during the spring semester, both before and after the program.
Spring Break: Turkish Women in Islam and Society Spend nine days in Turkey Spring Break exploring the ways in which women have been and are active in Islam and society in Turkey. Students will travel to Turkey to tour Islamic monuments and meet with women who are active in the public sphere in areas as diverse as education, research, development, politics, religion art, music and media. Six classes will be taught at KU prior to departure.
DEADLINE FOR APPLYING FOR WINTER BREAK or SPRING BREAK PROGRAMS IS OCTOBER 11
and human experiences to feel the language and the culture to which it is inherently linked. I can't say that I completely understand these things after only a year, and probably will not after my 50th year in Russia, but I can say that after this experience I can look at the world around me differently. I appreciate and question things about my own culture that I had always taken for granted. At the same time, I have taken in parts of a new culture and can say with pride and warmth that a part of my soul will always consider Russia home.

The image is too blurry to read. Please see the original document for details.
I know I changed in Spain...
Rachel Zupek, a KU student studying for the Spring semester in Santiago de Compostela, Spain relates her experiences of studying abroad.
I compare my semester abroad to my first year of college. I left my familiar home in Iowa for a new environment, new rules, new freedoms, and new people. Only this time, my home was in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, where I also had to get used to speaking a different language and living a culture completely opposite of any I had known before. Unfortunately, I didn't get four years there- I only got four months.
Global Awareness Program (GAP)
In those four months, I did things I thought I would have only dreamed of doing. I met people I never knew existed and saw countries, cities, cathedrals, monuments, paintings and museums I had only read about in books. Unfortunately, the things I did I might never get the opportunity to do again. I will probably never again see the many people from around the world I met abroad and I will never be able to convey to anyone the beauty and history of anything I saw in Europe enough to do it justice.
Those first days in Santiago, I cried at the
The Global Awareness Program (GAP) is a new program at KU that offers students a broader view of the world and recognizes undergraduates' international experiences. Students can have an international experience through study abroad, taking classes with an international focus, foreign language study, or participating in international co-curricular activities. Undergraduates in any major can earn global awareness certification. Students completing this program will have their international experience noted on their official KU academic transcript. They will also receive a certificate from the Office of International Programs.
Students who have already completed some or all of the requirements will receive retroactive credit. More than 250 students have already registered and 96 have already received their certification since the program started in Fall 2004.
sound of a familiar voice on the phone. I hated walking to school before the sun rose and returning after it had set. I not only didn't understand the Euro, I loathed it, and all I wanted was my pillow from home to rest my head after a long day. But soon, much sooner than I imagined, things started looking up. I began to meet all the people that soon became my "family" and dearest friends in my new home away from home. My tears of homesickness turned into smiles. I learned to love chorizo, paella, vino tinto and anything flavored jamón. Before I knew it, the semester was over and everyday I found myself saying "this will be the last time I do/see/hear ___." You can ask anyone on my program; I was a mess those last weeks in Santiago. Not necessarily because I didn't want to go home; because I knew that I shared something incredible with amazing people, in an amazing place and I would never be there with them again.

For me, studying abroad was more than conquering culture shock, sightseeing, wine tasting, living with foreigners, or trying new things. It was about personal growth and experience. It is impossible to express the anxiety, uncertainty, happiness, excitement and everything in between to anyone who hasn't studied abroad. Looking back, I know I changed in Spain, but I don't know exactly how, when, or how extreme the change was. I just know it happened. It was the experience of a lifetime, personally, and culturally, and an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

After being back in the States for three months now, I have gotten over the culture shock of America and the excitement and anxiety of seeing all the people I missed so much throughout the semester. But, it has also begun to sink in a little bit just how great my experience was and how much I miss it. How much I miss café con leche, siestas, tapas, and my view of the cathedral from my bedroom window.

Study Abroad tips from Katie Jackson
Study Abroad tips from Katie Jackson. Katie Jackson studied abroad on a student-initiated program with Drake University and the Institute of Italian Studies in Florence, Italy in 2005.
Studying abroad is one of those experiences that is indescribable. But the study abroad process can be overwhelming and everyone needs advice about how to get started and what to do when you get there.
Tips for Studying Abroad:
Getting started is the hardest part, so start your research early. Talk to a study abroad advisor, other students and search Web sites. There are many different programs out there to fit your individual needs and goals of your experience.
There is a lot of paperwork and preparation once you do chose a program. Do not put it off. The due dates will creep up on you.
Depending on your program, you may need to find your own housing. Ask your program coordinator for advice.
When you are packing, pack conservatively, but remember that you may not be able to find products that you need where you go. Be prepared for all types of weather, occasions and traveling. Pack casually for travel, you will be glad you did.
When you get there, it may be overwhelming, but immerse yourself and wander around your city to get acquainted. If your program offers activities, try to participate. Meeting new people from all over the world is an experience you will value. Try to learn about the culture of your city or country and experience the traditions of the natives.
Planning trips can be confusing. Do not worry, it will take time, buy a good travel guide and utilize the internet for cheap airfare, hostels and other travel deals. Traveling can be expensive so try to compare prices and do your research, but also remember to be safe.
The best way to communicate is by cell phone. Buy them when you get there they are incredibly cheaper than buying them in the U.S. Calling cards are also a great way to call home.
My most important goal was not to regret anything - try to take full advantage of all the opportunities that come your way. Just remember that coming back will be different from the culture you were in and try to get back into a routine to get readjusted.

LESSON'S LEARNED
Meghan Swallow studied abroad in the Humanities and Western Civilizations program in Spring 2005. She wrote this article on the plane on her way home from her experience.
This trip has taught me a lot about myself, and even how I relate to others. I think that, although hard at times, I learned most importantly how independent I am and that I can be ok just about anywhere and it is also nice to be able to depend on others.
- Sometimes it is just better to go with the flow, and wandering at large always leads to an adventure. Strangers can turn out to be some of the most interesting people to come into your life, and that the best times are with those new people in new places.
- I learned that doing something on your own can be scary, but that it broadens your horizons more than you can imagine. It was the best thing I have ever done.
- I learned that you can eat great food that is actually healthy-and doesn't include things like Doritos.
- I learned that dinner can sometimes last over 3 hours, and even then asking for your check can initiate a surprised response.
- I learned why Europeans think Americans are always rushing around - because we are. Europeans take time to really enjoy life.
- I learned that it is great to experience something so polar opposite of what you are used to,and feel like you are in another world.
- I have learned that art history is truly one of my greatest passions, and I could walk around the Musee D'Orsay everyday for the rest of my life. (I think I went to the Louvre and D'Orsay at least 5 times each).
- I have learned that sitting on the Champs-de-Mar ith friends and watching the Eiffel Tower light up the first 5 minutes of every hour is possibly one of the coolest experiences I will ever have.
- I have learned that walking everywhere is something Americans don't do enough of, and that it is the best way to learn and appreciate your surroundings.
- I learned that my favorite excursions were not to the tourist trap cities, but to the tiny towns with tons of character and overwhelmingly friendly people. My fondest memories are of our weekend trips to tiny Giverny and Saint Malo, France.
But the most important thing I have learned is that the world is too big and amazing to not explore, and I am very lucky for getting the opportunity to see many different parts of it.
Give something back . . .
Volunteering while you are studying abroad is a great way to immerse yourself in your new host culture and see things from a different point of view. You have a chance to meet new people and leave a lasting imprint on your host community. Opportunities are abundant and usually advertised on campus or through special programs. You only have to ask. Below are a few of the volunteer experiences KU students have had while studying abroad.
Jeff Baumert and Lawrence Settles volunteered with Habitat for Humanity building houses for local people while studying in San Jose, Costa Rica.
Jessica Arthur who studied in Madrid Spain volunteered at an after-school program for children who were learning English. She found out about the opportunity on a bulletin board of "things to do in your spare time." Jessica said, "I loved volunteering with the kids, I think they helped me more with my Spanish than I did with their English, though."

Brittany Simon volunteered for the National Association of Hospital and Community while studying in London, England.
Kate Morrand also helped tutor children learning English while studying in Angers, France. She learned about the opportunity through one of her French instructors at the university in Angers. "Language is definitely a bridge and I think the mere fact that I was interested in learning their language gave them a sense of pride. Working with kids is especially rewarding and an excellent opportunity to enhance your language skills because children are not afraid to correct your mistakes."
Jackie Miller took part in the Elementary School Visit program at Deakin University in Australia.
Amber Webb volunteered for The Phuket Project for tsumani relief in Thailand for about three weeks. She found out about the opportunity while studying abroad in Naples, Italy.
The Denmark International Study (DIS) program has announced opportunities for students studying abroad in Denmark, such as volunteering at a center for asylum seekers, an organization for mentally-impaired persons, a youth club, a leadership seminar, and other sites.
Lindsey Black helped clean up the 2002 Prestige oil spill off the northwest coast of Spain while studying at Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Remember, volunteering can make a big impact on you as well as those you help.
GAINING NEW PERSPECTIVES Justin Waters studied abroad at Ajou University in Suwon, South Korea in Fall 2004
I started preparing six months before leaving for South Korea. During this time, I applied for scholarships, completed forms, and met with advisors. The help I received from the Office of Study Abroad made me feel more comfortable and confident during the process. Other than Mexico, I have never left the US. I chose to study a semester in South Korea because I wanted to learn more about East Asian culture for future business.
A
Justin Waters & friends in Suwon, South Korea.
I studied at Ajou University in the city of Suwon, which is 40 minutes by bus from the country capital Seoul. Seoul is huge, and there are so many things to do and see there. Suwon had great natural beauty and many historic sites. Nearby I relaxed in natural hot springs, hiked rocky mountains, and traveled to offshore islands. The dormitory I stayed in was filled with other foreign students from all around the world, two from the US. We would stay up late and spend time together, walk the streets, try new food, and play games. I gained new perspectives I never imagined before, found a new love for my country, and became more aware of global problems. I even learned how to read and speak Korean with no former knowledge before. I took international business classes taught in English, joined a tennis club, and participated in the International Food Festival where I made hot dogs and peanut butter jelly sandwiches. South Korea has huge malls with all types of cool technology.
South Korea has many tall compact buildings built very close to one another. At night, the streets are filled with lights, and sidewalks are lined with Korean food vendors. Some times the subways get very full and you feel like a sardine. The buses too are dense, people need to stand and hold on to handles to keep from falling as the drivers make quick stops and turn sharply. The people are very friendly and eager to speak to you so they can show off their English skills. The Korean students pay close attention to detail and study very late in the night. The food was very spicy and I enjoyed trying all the varieties. My favorite was kimpop, which is rice, eggs, and vegetables rolled up in dried seaweed. They also serve a spicy pickled cabbage called kimchi with every meal.
In addition to new experiences with food, transportation being an international student, I learned intercultural skills like, in Korea, there are more than five ways to say hello to someone. I enjoyed my semester in South Korea and will never forget the time there.

Study Abroad alumni say . . .
Over the summer, the Office of Study Abroad contacted former study abroad participants who have now graduated from KU. We asked them how their study abroad experience affected their lives both personally and professionally. Here is a small sampling of what they had to say.
•"The value of understanding a culture so different from yours inevitably affects how I see and deal with the world in general." Craig Hess study abroad in Japan and was awarded a Monbukagakusho scholarship from the Japanese government to pursue research in Japan at the University of Kyoto.
•"We are living through a very shaky time in America's history and studying abroad allowed me to better understand my relationship with my country and the larger global community." Marita Robinson, BA Psychology, studied abroad in Cork, Ireland and is currently serving in the Peace Corps in Africa.
•"I participated in the Kansas/Asia Scholar Program and spent three weeks learning about business and culture in China. I enjoyed China so much that after graduation I decided to teach English here." Eric Garrett, Academic Coordinator/American Teacher at a foreign language school in Songyuan City, China.
•"One of the most amazing and empowering experiences of my life to date. The opportunity immersed in that
One of the most amazing and empowering experiences of my life to adate The opportunity to live in a foreign land and be completely immersed in that culture is one that expanded my horizons and opened my eyes to the world, its immense opportunities, and its wealth of cultures. While studying abroad, I achieved a new level of independence, while at the same time I gained friends from numerous countries." Sara Baumgartner studied abroad in the Summer Institute for Italian Language and Culture in Florence

We Are What We Eat

Andrea Broomfield, a KU alum, is an Associate Professor of English at Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, Kansas
Shared Broomfield, a KU alum, is an Associate Professor of English at Johnson County Community College and is currently writing a book for Praeger Press on the history of food and cooking in nineteenth-century England.
When I decided to spend my Junior Year Abroad at Exeter University in the UK, I left Kansas with predictable objectives for a twenty-year-old: experience a different culture, figure out who I was, gain independence, and enhance my academic record for when it came time to apply to graduate school. I did not, however, expect to learn anything about myself, let alone anything about the English, through what I ate! And yet, years later, I realized that my most lasting memories, impressions, and the conclusions that I drew during that time abroad came initially through my stomach. While studying abroad did help me get into graduate school and led to my becoming an English professor, my experience with English food also led to my becoming a culinary historian, one who attempts to understand a nation by examining how and what people eat.
My initiation into English culture, or my "baptism by fire" as I like to call it, certainly involved food. All who study abroad go through an initiation of some sort one that happens early in their stay and which, while often funny in retrospect, was embarrassing or even painful while it was occurring. At the beginning of my first term at Exeter, I went to lunch with a group of English students who like me were enrolled in a nineteenth-century literature course. We had just come from our first lecture and were talking animatedly about Romanticism as we stood in line at the university's refectory (cafeteria). As we moved our trays along, I spied some sausages that reminded me of American hotdogs, and a wave of homesickness washed over me. Passing up the salads, the ploughman's lunches of cheddar cheese and bread, the jacket potatoes, beef burgers, fish and chips, I ordered a sausage and then did what most Americans do: I slathered it with mustard. Grilled hotdogs with mustard: that's comfort food for me, and being with new people and having to speak intelligently about Byronic heroes and Grecian urns put me in much need of such a treat.
I sat down with my classmates and unthinkingly took a large bite out of that sausage, and immediately thereafter, I thought I had died and gone to hell. In the States, yellow mustard means French's. The English mustard that I had liberally applied to that sausage, however, was so hot that there was no taste; rather, I felt like I was standing in a smoking sulfur pit with its fumes penetrating not only my mouth, but crawling up through my nasal passages, into my ear drums, my tear ducts, and permeating my brain. During the ordeal, it hit me that maybe Americans shouldn't be such big eaters, so eager to inhale food, so confident about biting into things that they don't really know much about. So my first lesson about food and England taught me something about me, about what many Americans do when it comes to a plate of food.
Today, I remember my year in England because of its food and traditions, and in years since, its history, culture, and literature have made such an impression on me for reasons of cuisine. Any Dickens novel will make it clear very quickly that food and drink are as important to understanding the characters and their circumstances as are the clothes they wear or their home address. Toast with marmalade recalls the leisurely mornings I spent talking politics with a Welsh national who befriended me at Exeter. A sone recalls the lush Devonshire countryside with its agricultural history and traditions. And as for mustard... I keep a tin of Coleman's on my shelf as a reminder to take smaller bites and to be a bit more cautious about all foods I put in my mouth, no matter how enthusiastically I as an American might approach new flavors and experiences.

Students, faculty must make changes by tomorrow
Stronger passwords required
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students and faculty members must change their passwords for University online services to make them stronger by Thursday or access to e-mail and other online services will be denied.
A new University password policy, which took effect June 1, 2005, requires students to change their passwords every semester. The new password must be different by at least three characters. Each new password must contain seven characters, including both lowercase and uppercase letters and at least one number and one special character. New passwords must be different than the user's login name or the reverse of the name, and easily-guessed personal information, such as birth dates, should be avoided.
The password policy, which has been in the works for three years, was part of an enhanced strategy to protect University resources, said Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator of information technology policy and planning.
"Having a strong password that's regularly changed is one layer in our 'defense in depth' strategy," Mehmedovic said. "The reason why we call it 'defense in depth' is it takes many layers and many players to reach the most protection for our resources."
She said a strong password by itself wouldn't be enough but would help when combined with firewalls, anti-virus programs and software patches. Mehmedovic said if a hacker was able to get a password, they might be interested
"In an environment with so many students and staff, it's important for each individual to keep a strong password in order to protect all our resources," she said.
Some students disagree with the mandatory password change because of the inconvenience it could cause.
in using it as a launch pad to store information on a computer or attack other systems.
"I use my student ID," Lauren Ponchur, Leawood freshmen, said. "I have a lot of passwords and like to keep the same one, so that will be annoying"
The policy warns users against scams, where a password could be requested over the phone.
Sharing a password is a violation of the policy, unless it is for an information technology professional helping with a technical problem.

Mehmedovic said that was a last resort and only necessary if there was no other way to troubleshoot a problem. Before asking for the password, she said the personnel would always ask if there was a problem with sharing it.

Coalition alleges partiality
Student Voice disputes violations
BY JOHN JORDAN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Voice, which ran as a coalition in Student Senate elections last semester, is concerned about the fairness of the body that oversees the elections.
Party leaders claim that the elections commission, which oversees student elections, was unfair to their party.
This allegation was what put Student Voice into so much trouble with the commission, said Dennis Chanay, who ran for student body president with Student Voice last spring.

judicial board overturned two charges of election code violations that were leveled against Student Voice during the elections last spring. The board also reduced a fine for a third allegation.
Student Voice leaders said the appeals board's rulings confirm that the elections commission's charges were unfair to their party.
"We thought this elections commission was a joke," Chanay said.

SIGMA NU
Ousted fraternity faces crime, security issues
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Security guards who were paid to be vigilant at Sigma Nu called police twice and asked them to remove residents from the house early Sept. 9, said Det. David Anderson of the Lawrence Police Department.
Even though the security guards requested the residents' removal, police did not have the authority to remove them, Anderson said.
"This is the normal stuff that happens when someone gets kicked off campus," Anderson said.
Sigma Nu members say they have maintained a good relationship with the security officers, but police say there is a conflict between the two parties as members prepare to vacate the residence.
Sigma Nu's national board of directors required the fraternity's 57 members to vacate the house in less than 30 days after the national headquarters concluded in an internal investigation that the fraternity hazed its new members.
Two Sigma Nu members reported two thefts last weekend, and officers from Citywide Security Company, the Topeka security firm that employs the guards, reported $515 in damage. The damage included broken toilets and holes in the house's walls.
Jason Shaad, former president of Sigma Nu, said that national headquarters hired the security guards to prevent damage to the house.
"I know their concern is the same thing that happened at Phi Kappa Theta will happen here, but that just hasn't happened," said Shaad, Derby senior.
Shaad said that only three exit signs were damaged since Sept. 9, and that he doubted that the security guards could pick out recent damage. No toilets were damaged, he said.
"We've cleaned up from that night. We've picked up trash. There haven't been any problems that I'm aware of," Shaad said.
Police officers from the KU Office of Public Safety were called to assist Lawrence police early Sept. 9. A police report stated that the fraternity had a party and several items had been thrown off the balconies, including a couch. Thirty or more people inside acted as though they would resist removal, the report stated.
Shaad said he was asleep that night and didn't hear about it until the next day. The fraternity had good relations with the security officers, said James Lee, Kansas City, Kan., freshman and former Sigma Nu member.

Board of Education debates sex ed
Contributed photo
TOPEKA - State Board of Education members are debating whether students should have to bring a signed note from home before hearing about the birds and bees in public school classrooms.
Conservative board members have suggested that schools keep students out of sex education discussions unless a parent signs a form giving permission. Currently, most schools have students receive the information unless a parent objects.
The issue stems from the board's consideration of health curriculum standards, which cover sex education. The board planned to review proposed standards at 11 a.m. today, during its regular monthly meeting
Kelly Lothteros, Orlando, Fla., graduate student; Lamace, a Tanzanian guide, and Sandrine, a French climber, rest at the Uhuru peak of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, early in the summer of 2005. Lot terros and two Florida State University friends started the six-day climb, but only Lothteros made it all the way to the summit
The standards would be only recommendations to local school boards because the state doesn't test students on health, unlike reading, math or science. But board conservatives — who hold a 6-4 majority — want to encourage school boards to adopt their "opt-in" proposal on sex education.
But less conservative state board members contend there's no need to push for change, and question whether local boards would follow the state board's recommendation

Piqued by the African mountain
- The Associated Press
A suggestion then reality: climbing Kilimanjaro
BY FRANK TANKARD
flankard@kansan.com
KANSAST STAFF WRITE
At about 15,000 feet, things got tough.
All signs of animal and plant life disappeared, and she was left with the rain and the wind and her exhaustion.
Spring semester had just ended, and while most students were bathing in the summer sun, Kelly Lotterhoes was in Tanzania, battling Mount Kilimanjaro.
Lotterhos' journey from Mount Oread to the peak of highest mountain in Africa began two years ago the same way so many college endeavors are born; the crazy plan of a friend.
Lotterhos, a 23-year-old Orlando, Fla., graduate student, was a senior at Florida State University when one of her buddies, Jon Fry, got the idea to climb Kilimanjaro in his head. She had her doubts at first.
"I just kind of laughed and thought, 'That's crazy. That's halfway around the world. If you want to climb a mountain,
there's plenty of mountains here." she said.
But Lotterhos, Fry and another college buddy, Greg Pierce, decided to go for it. The idea lost some of its spontaneity in the process of scheduling a flight and booking a guide a year in advance.
Rain and tundra
It was May 24, a good day to climb a mountain.
Lotterhos had read Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "Green Hills of Africa." As a kid, she'd lived near Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
But Lotterhos had never done anything like this. Not that you have to be Sir Edmund Hillary — the first man to scale Mount Everest — to climb Kilimanjaro; local guides make money off the scores of non-professional climbers they guide successfully to the peak every year. The trail Lotterhos took was not a very technical hike. It's the altitude hikers have to worry about.
A French woman named Sandrine joined them, and the group began the six-day journey at 6.400 feet.
The first day in the green, warm forest was an easy ascent. The guides pointed out animals the hikers had only seen in zoos.
They trudged on, all lightheaded tired and cold, until reaching the peak There was a sign: "Congratulations, you are now at Uhuru Peak, Tanzania." There Lotterhos stood, 19,340 feet high, with her head throbbing.
The next day, Lotterhos and Sandrine tramped ahead as Fry and Pierce measured their pace, stopping regularly for Powerbars and water.
One of the guides, Lamace, kept repeating "polepole" (pronounced "polee polee") to the girls, the Swahili word for "slowly."
The third day, the group took a day hike to Zebra rock to help their bodies acclimate.
Resumed their ascent the next day, the climbers were soaked by cold rain, and exotic plants were replaced with scrubs and tall grass as rainforest morphed to tundra.
"No sign of any life. Not a bird, not an ant, not a blade of grass." Pierce said.
As Lotterhos passed Kilimanjaro's secondary peak, Mawenzi, Lamace told her of the climbers who had died there.
The guides said it would be dangerous to sleep long at that altitude.
They reached the last set of huts and caught a little sleep.
Final ascent
At 12:30 a.m. on the fifth day, in the dark, the guides, Pierce, Fry, Lotterhos and Sandrine started toward the peak.
Soon, Pierce's Florida blood wasn't getting enough oxygen, and a guide escorted him down. Then Fry, a swimmer for two years at Florida State, started to lean hard on his walking stick, afraid his knees would buckle, and he turned back.
"You just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other," she told herself.
Lotterhos dealt with her own exhaustion.
"Polepole," Lamace reassured, staying with her and Sandrine, the last of their party.
in altitude, and reached it as the sun rose.
They zigzagged their way up to Gilman's Point, 18,652 feet
Next stop: Uhuru. the peak
They trudged on, all lightheaded, tired and cold, until reaching the peak.
There was a sign: "Congratulations, you are now at Uhuru Peak, Tanzania." There Lotterhos stood, 19,340 feet high, with her head throbbing.
"By then, the altitude's really getting to you," she said.
Lotterhos and Sandrine headed down and met up with Pierce and Fry in one of the huts below. They spent the night on the mountain, then made a quick descent the next day.
"The guys weren't slowpokes anymore," Lotterhos said.
The three friends said goodbye to Sandrine, and finished their trip with a safari.
Lotterhos was soon off to her next endeavor: boot camp with the Army Reserves, which she joined in February.
"The climb was definitely a lot harder." she said.
Though she's no expert climber, she said she would like to climb Mount Everest next. But just to base camp.
"I don't think I want to tackle the whole mountain yet," she said.

Dean search moves forward
Selection committee will draw from campus groups, organizations
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The forming of a search committee of students is bringing the University of Kansas closer to hiring a permanent dean of students.
Nick Sterner, student body president and Shawnee senior, is working with Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, to create a list of 15 potential students to serve on a search committee. Sterner said he was aiding Roney by giving
his opinion as to who should be chosen.
Frank DeSalvo is the interim dean of students. He replaced Richard Johnson, who was terminated last spring after a formal investigation.
The formation of the search committee was also brought up at the Presidents' Roundtable meeting on Sept. 2. The roundtable is an association of the presidents of the different campus student groups.
The list of students on the search committee will be finalized at the same time as the availability of the
position is announced, Sterner said. At that point, applications can be sent in for the dean of students position.
A date to finalize the search committee has not been set, Sterner said.
"It's important not just for CCO but as a student," Bengtson said.
Anton Bengtson, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, said he would be willing to serve on the search committee if he were asked.
The CCO worked closely with the dean of students in the past, Bengtson said. Johnson worked with CCO during Homecoming and helped coordinate change collection for the United Way.
"A lot of times we would meet to talk about how we both could help students on campus," Bengtson said.
Sterner said he was using a list from the Student Involvement and Leadership Center to help him decide who to contact for the committee.
"My primary goal is to find a wide range of student opinion and student involvement," he said.
Sterner said he was trying to combine presidents of campus student groups, student senators and other students on campus.

Chanay said he thought if a third party that had no connections to Student Senate oversaw elections, there wouldn't 'be what he called "bogus" charges.

Coalition
Last spring, Student Voice was charged with violations of the elections code, including violations about campaign materials, charges of libel and expense reports not being turned in.
Nick Sterner, student body president and member of KUinited, said Senate did have checks and balances in the elections commission process.
Student Senate Executive Committee, which consists of the elected student body president and vice president and other appointed student staff, appoints the Elections Commissioner. Full Senate must approve the commissioner. The other positions on the commission are volunteer positions, which also are approved by Senate.
Once the commission is formed, it works under the Dean of Students office.
He said it was important that students have a role in deciding who would oversee elections.
Sterner said any changes to the elections commission process would need to be considered by Student Senate as a whole, not just the student body president.
Anne Iverson, Le Mars, Iowa, senior, said she thought the parties in control use their power to keep their power. Iverson is the former chairwoman of the Student Rights Committee, a
Having three commissioners from the greek community misrepresents the student body and affects the ability of the committee to act fairly, Iverson said. A separate body without so many connections to Student Senate should govern the elections, she said.
Student Senate committee that deals with student rights in matters of University policy and academics.
Chanay said the root of the Student Voice's trouble was the commission's association with KUnited. Chanay said two of the commission members dated students who ran on the KUnited ticket last spring, and three of the six students on the elections commission are members of the greek community.
Sterner and Luke Thompson, acting elections commission chairman, declined to comment about last year's elections. Chanay said those connections caused the commission to favor parties that are currently in control.
Yet other candidates said the commission acted fairly, but they wouldn't comment on possible biases of the commission.
"Bottom line, this is more corrupt than a third world country." Chanay said of the elections commission.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior, who ran for vice president with Delta Force, said the commission used its resources to the best of its ability.
Craig would not comment,
however, on biases of the commission, because of her working relationship with some members on Student Senate. Craig is currently a holdover senator.
KUnited also was charged with two violations last year; Delta Force was not charged with any.
The judicial board, a University governance panel that looks into student grievances, heard appeal hearings between Student Voice and the elections commission. A panel of two faculty members and one classified staff reviewed two charges of libel and a $100 fine Student Voice received for turning in an expense form late.
Mike Kautsch, professor in the School of Law and chairman of the appeals panel, said in the panel's report that the judicial board thought the $100 fine was too high, and it recommended a $25 fine.
The panel also dismissed two libel charges with the consent of the elections commission. The commission told the panel that mistakes had been made in the processing of the libel charges.
Additionally, the panel recommended that the libel provision be removed from election code because of its wording and possible conflicts with first amendment precedents.
The report on Student Voice's appeals also stated that the coalition and the elections commission be commended for the congenial manner in which its members conducted themselves in the hearing.

Holy monster? Or monster full of holes?
THE COLUMNIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS KATE Embrace His noodly goodness
There comes a time in everyone's life when they are forced to ask the big questions.
In short, my answer is an unequivocal — Yes.
Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? Is there a God, and did that God create the universe for all of mankind?
I believe we were created by God and that God, not evolution, is responsible for our world today. It is my belief that Intelligent Design is the only fair option for Kansas school children. Under Intelligent Design, all theories of beliefs are to be included. My personal God, more commonly known as the Flying Spaghetti Monster, created the universe.
By this statement alone, Spaghetti-Monster followers deserve to have equal time in public schools dedicated to our theory of the creation of the universe. There is ample scientific documentation to support that the Flying Spaghetti Monster did in fact create the universe. It is of the utmost importance that our school children are exposed to the one truth in this vast universe, and that is the truth of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Should one not succumb immediately to the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His powers, eternal damnation will surely prevail. Accepting the FSM faith is the most important decision a person will ever make in life. It will most certainly determine one's eternity. To sit at the right strand of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for eternity, or to burn in a marinarless hell, this is the ultimate question.

This is why it is so important for the Kansas Board of Education to embrace the truth of FSM. Without this religion implemented in our public schools, chaos will prevail. Public school children are not capable of embracing the faith that they so choose. We must get to them now, or they might see for themselves that the FSM religion is (like so many other theories of Creation), well. cran.
▼ A'HQYT MATIES!
I am aware that some of you might be oblivious to the faith of the FSM religion. I will attempt to relate to my readers some of the basics of our religion. The official Web site of the FSM faith can be found at, www.venganza.org. At this Web site one will find that there are more than 10 million people currently practicing the FSM faith. We only worship Him while decked out in full pirate attire. There are a plethora of reasons for this, which I cannot go into now. Also, the average global temperature continuing to rise is directly related to the shrinking number of pirates in recent years. Should we choose to obey Him, the trend of global warming shall certainly reverse itself.
Please, act quickly KU students, and let the Kansas Board of Education know the importance of fair and equal Intelligent Design. Members of the board of education can be reached through www. ksde.org. According to the Flying Spaghetti Monster's prophet, Bobby Henderson, legal action will be enacted if the theory of FSM is not included in the curriculum of Kansas schools. It is up to us, the pirates, to make sure that Kansas kids are informed of all theories of evolution.
Perhaps we will show up on your doorstep on a Saturday morning at 7 a.m., or maybe we will attempt to recruit you on campus while you are trying to attend some meaningless religion class (which I know from experience will not include FSM). Either way, the FSM faith will not be ignored.

GOETTING IT RIGHT
Satire leaves bad after-taste
So now you've heard about the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and you might even think that it's such a fun idea that you want to become a Pastafarian today. I won't try to convince you differently; Everyone needs to have a little fun. But for those of you who think that this is just the greatest satire ever and that FSM beliefs deserve to be taught along with any other intelligent design theories, let me set you straight.
Despite what professors in the KU religious studies department might tell you, religious scriptures such as the Torah, the Bible, and the Koran are all historical documents. In fact, they tend to be more
C
JOSH GOETTING opinion@kansan.com
historically valid than many of the primary source history texts which students at the university study every day. "But, Josh," you say, "how can that be? I've always been told that they are a load of manure just like this FSM thing." Well, you've been told wrongly. Let's take the Bible (the holy book which I am most familiar with), and apply a scientific (yes, even religious people can use science) test called bibliographic verification to see how reliable it is as an historical document. In this test, we first see how many manuscripts are still in existence because if it is many, we can conclude that the work was important and very acceptable to people before the age of the printing press. We find over 24,000 manuscripts exist of the Bible. Compare this to eight of the works of Herodotus, eight of Thucydides, and seven of Pliny the Younger. The work that comes closest to the Bible is the Iliad (which isn't even proper history) at 643.
Niklas Jansson/CHURCH OF THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER
The other part of this test involves dating the oldest original manuscript and comparing it to the latest one. The reasoning here goes that the earlier the work, the more accurate it
must be because there weren't as many opportunities to embellish it and by comparing it to the latest manuscripts, one can determine just how much embellishment has occurred. The oldest copies of the Old Testament are the Dead Sea Scrolls and they date back to about 250 B.C. Presumably because of the care taken in copying sacred texts, they are virtually identical to manuscripts of the Bible copied before the printing press caught on. This is in contrast to many other historical works that have been changed to better-fit preferred world views or to flatter certain audiences. Both parts of this test indicate that the Bible is exceptionally valid compared most historical works, let alone to the ideas advanced by some masters student from Oregon on a Web site.
My point here is not so much that we should teach intelligent design theories based on the Bible, Torah, Koran or any other historically valid documents as much as it is to show how ridiculous it is to compare something like the FSM theory to theories based on time-tested documents and beliefs and think that it's good satire. So if you still insist on being a Pastafarian, by all means, go ahead, but be aware that you are being more offensive than amusing.

Flying Spaghetti Monster's satire provokes reflection of ideals
In the beginning, when He created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters.
MARK HONDA
DAN HOYT
opinion@kansan.com
If the concept of the world being created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster is offensive to you, then I'm sorry; it's what I believe. If you want to have public school teachers teach about how the world was created by God, then I want them to teach about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. My depiction of the beginning of the world is just as plausible as yours, and much more interesting and tastier.
Then the great Flying Spaghetti Monster said, "Let there be trees, a mountain and a midget pirate," or something like that. The world was born and all its inhabitants soon followed.
I'm agnostic, but if I chose to become atheist it would be insulting to have my son or daughter learn intelligent design. It's wrong to force my
own beliefs on someone else whether I'm atheist, agnostic, Catholic, Hindu or a Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Bobby Henderson founded the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the spring of 2005 to protest the attempts of the Kansas School Board to put Intelligent Design into Kansas science classes. He sent a letter to the Kansas School Board detailing Flying Spaghetti Monsterism and demanded it be taught alongside other religions or he would seek legal action. Currently, he seeks to recruit an army of Flying Spaghetti Monsterism-lawyers.
Although, Henderson is from Oregon, it doesn't make his anti-Intelligent Design sentiment any less valid. I'm from Kansas and I completely agree with him.
The new definition of science the school board is adopting will change from "seeking natural explanations" to "seeking logical explanations," according to Carol Rupe, a Kansas School Board member, in a response letter to Henderson.
"I think FSMism is able to be included. It is as 'logical' as any other theory," Rupa said.
If you think FSMism is a mockery of the Christians religion, I would say "parody"
is more accurate. FSMism is a parody of Christianity, but Christians should calm down and realize that forcing religion on someone is wrong.
Or maybe Henderson is mocking Christianity. What's wrong with mocking Christianity? I do it all the time. I'm mocking it right now and I don't think I'll go to Hell for it. There are a lot of other things I've done that I'll probably go to Hell for first.
Some conservative Christians will say that the Bible is old and therefore should be respected more than this editorial. If being really old is a requirement to be a valid religion then how would a religions begin?
FSM isn't disrespecting God in any way. If you think God created everything, then he created humor and pasta.
If religion is going to be taught in schools, it shouldn't be taught as a science. Religion is about faith and believing in a higher purpose or a greater being, whether that being is an omnipotent old man with a beard or a flying spaghetti monster. Faith is not science and shouldn't be confused with it.

FEMA head resigns
Career firefighter reportedly named as replacement
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown resigned yesterday, three days after losing his on-site command of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
"I'm turning in my resignation today," Brown said. "I think it's in the best interest of the agency and the best interest of the President to do that and get the media focused on the good things that are going on, instead of me."
Brown had taken much of the heat for the delayed relief efforts in Louisiana and was relieved of his on-site command on Friday. In an interview yesterday with The Associated Press, Brown said he resigned "in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president." He said he feared he had become a distraction.
"The focus has got to be on
FEMA, what the people are trying to do down there." Brown said.
His decision was not a surprise. Brown was abruptly recalled to Washington on Friday, a clear vote of no confidence from his superiors at the White House and the Homeland Security Department. Brown also was accused of padding his resume, which he has denied.
White House officials picked a top FEMA official with three decades of firefighting experience as Brown's replacement. R. David Paulison, head of FEMA's emergency preparedness force, will lead the beleaguered agency, according to three administration sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made.
Paulison is a career firefighter from Miami who was among emergency workers responding to Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and the crash of ValuJet Flight 592 in the Florida Everglades in
1996, according to a biography posted on FEMA's Web site. He also has led the U.S. Fire Administration since December 2001, according to the site.
As chief of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department, Paulison led 1,900 personnel under a $200 million operating budget. He was also in charge of Dade County's emergency management office, according to his biography. Paulison will lead an agency that has been under fire for its response to the Katrina disaster.
President Bush ducked questions about Brown's resignation. "Maybe you know something I don't know. I've been working," the president said to reporters on an inspection tour of damage in Gulfport, Miss. Bush said he planned to talk with Brown's boss, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, on the flight back to Washington.
"There will be plenty of time to figure out what went right and what went wrong." Bush said.
Former FEMA director, Mike Brown, left, listens as U.S. Fire Administrator R. David Paulison, right, speaks to firefighters at Loudoun County Fire Rescue in August.

LOS ANGELES — Utility workers connected the wrong wires and caused a blackout across major portions of Los Angeles on yesterday afternoon, trapping people in elevators and snarling traffic at intersections, authorities said.
Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the resulting power surge and outages, which were reported from downtown west to the Pacific Coast and north into the San Fernando Valley.

Some power was restored within an hour; Deaton said he expected all power to be restored by 5 p.m.

But calm prevailed in downtown Los Angeles around midday. Office workers took the opportunity for an extended lunch as police and fire sirens echoed in the background.
The blackout came a day after ABC aired a video tape of a purported al Qaeda member making terrorist threats against Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia, on the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
But even before the utility explained what happened, Homeland Security Department spokesman Russ Knocke said
there was no indication of terrorism.
Some Los Angeles neighborhoods did not lose power at all.
Los Angeles International Airport lost power, but its emergency generator kicked in promptly and no flights were affected, said Harold Johnson, an airport spokesman. UCLA Medical Center used backup generators and reported no danger to patients.
Los Angeles operates its own power utility, which serves 1.4 million electricity customers. Customers of Southern California Edison, the largest utility in Southern California, were not affected, according to spokesman Gil Alexander.

Nuke talks resume
Representatives aim to end negotiation standoff
BY BO-MI LIM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea — Representatives to talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons program will try again today to resolve the standoff at six-nation negotiations, but the main U.S. envoy insisted the key lies with Pyongyang.
The latest round of discussions broke for a recess early last month after a record 13 days of negotiations where participants failed to agree on a statement of principles laying a groundwork for dismantling the North's nuclear weapons programs.
The talks were to resume the last week of August, but the North demanded a two-week postponement — taking issue with annual joint military exercises between the U.S. and South
Korea, and Washington's appointment of a special envoy on human rights in North Korea.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill met Monday evening in Seoul with South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young, who is headed to Pyongyang this week for Cabinet-level talks between the two Koreas separate from the nuclear forum.
The U.S. diplomat said he would be able to gauge where this week's arms talks were headed after meeting with the North Koreans.
"It's hard to be optimistic or pessimistic at this point. It hasn't started." Hill said.
communist state's past record proves it can't be trusted with any nuclear program.
On Friday, Hill reiterated a set of measures — including energy aid offered by South Korea — that he said would make it unnecessary for North Korea "to go and develop additional capacity, especially through such very difficult and extremely expensive projects as nuclear energy."
One key dispute has emerged over Pyongyang's demands for a civilian nuclear program — something Washington has strongly resisted, saying the
Hill emphasized Monday that the main issue remained getting a broad agreement on a joint statement of eliminating nuclear weapons from the peninsula.
"I really do hope we can move rapidly and move toward an agreement on these goals and principles," he said.

The Arias airlines flight had departed the southern city of Florencia for a flight to Bogota yesterday when two people armed with grenades commanded it, said Gen. Edgar Lesmez, the chief of the Colombian Air Force.
BOGOTA, Colombia — A father in a wheelchair and his son hijacked an airliner yesterday, claiming to be armed with grenades, but they freed all the passengers more than four hours after landing in Bogota, authorities said.
The crew was reported still on the plane.
The Aires plane, believed to be carrying 20 passengers and five crew members, had left the southern city of Florencia when it was commandeered, air force Gen. Edgar Lesmez said.
The plane landed in Bogota, its original destination, but at a military airfield next to the civilian El Dorado Airport.
The hijackers demanded a meeting with representatives of the Catholic Church, the attorney general's office and a human rights organization, officials said, and government negotiators and a priest spoke with them while the twin-propeller plane stood on the tarmac.
It was not known if the men made any other demands.
Live television broadcasts later showed people filing off the plane.
A negotiator confirmed to The Associated Press by phone from inside the plane that the passengers had been let go, but that the crew remained on board.
Martin Gonzalez, spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority, identified the hijackers as Luis Ramirez, about 42, and his son Linsen Ramirez, about 22.
They did not appear to be
The hijackers earlier allowed five women and two babies to leave the plane, Bogota's police chief, Gen. Luis Alberto Gomez, said.
long to any of Colombia's illegal armed groups, said Gen. Alberto Ruiz, chief of operations for the National Police.
"They seem to be common citizens," he told reporters.
The drama riveted Colombians, who tuned to radios and TV sets.
They listened to one hostage, while still on the plane, describe the scene in a furtive cell phone conversation with local RCN radio.
"They have indicated to us they have explosives," Reinaldo Duque, the hostage, said in a hushed voice.
Duque, who works in Colombia's Congress, said all the passengers were herded to the rear of the Dash-8 plane while a priest spoke with the hijackers in the front. Duque said the older hijacker boarded the plane in a wheelchair.
The wheelchair was too large to pass through a metal detector at the Florencia airport, and the man was not patted down by security agents, Luis Octavio
Rojas, the airport director, told the Associated Press.
"But they did give him and the chair a visual inspection," Rojas said.
Among those on the plane was congressman Antonio Serrano, his assistant, Consuelo Barragan, told RCN television.
It was the second time an Aires flight has been hijacked on the same route.
In February 2002, members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia hijacked an Aires plane flying from Florencia to Bogota, forced it to land on a rural highway and kidnapped a Colombian senator who was aboard. Other passengers and the crew were left alone.
That hijacking led the government to cancel peace talks with the rebel group, which has been waging war in this Andean nation for four decades.
The senator, Jorge Gechen Turbay, president of the Senate's peace commission, remains a hostage.

Desperate Housewife endorses Clairol dye
BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Teri Hatcher is hiding her gray hair — and she's not shy about talking about it.
Hatcher, one of the stars of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," is the new spokeswoman for Clairol's Nice 'n Easy hair color. The natural brunette, who's had a spot of gray since she was 25, uses medium golden brown.
"I'm not the kind of person who can get involved in things I don't believe in. I'm a very honest and open person. I'm not a good liar. I might be an OK actress but I'm not a good liar," she told The Associated Press in a recent phone interview.
Hatcher will star in both print and TV ads.
"In all my career, in my ups and downs, I've never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign," she said. "It made me feel really great."
Hatcher said the product fits her personality and lifestyle.
"My daughter is much more important to me than how I look that day, so on days when I'm rushing to get my daughter to school and rushing to work, if I don't have to worry about my hair looking good, then it's a good thing." she said.
Patrice Louvet, vice president of global hair colorants for Clairol, said Hatcher was a perfect match for the at-home product.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2005: You develop a unique quality this year: an endless imagination with humor and the ability to provide solutions. You will break past the "box" in your normal thinking patterns. You might accomplish this break through school, travel or just being close to someone who thinks much differently from the way you do.
Be open to different thought processes. Through a talent that you might not have used previously, you could make money. If you are single, romance will not be the problem; the question will be which person to choose. If you are attached, you feel grounded and connected with your sweetie. Try to think like your significant other. CAPRICORN is fun.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Could too many opportunities be a problem?
You might just begin to believe that today. Your choices do count, financially and emotionally. You might need to make a major expenditure. Tonight: Don't even consider an early bedtime.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★★ Fortunately, you have the get-up-and-go to meet today's demands. Still, do as much as you can over
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
the phone or at your desk. Make calls rather than go down the hall. Remember, you might be a Bull, but your energy isn't limitless. Tonight: Treat your mind.
★★★★★ Others want and need to put in their two cents. You will be able to reveal your thoughts at the right moment. Your creativity is in demand. Use it, even if it's just to amuse yourself. Lighten up a natural heaviness. Tonight: Ask a friend to join you in a game of tennis or some other sport.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★★* Others prove to be strong and demanding.
Somehow, they will be heading in a positive direction.
You might find some are stronger-willed than you. Go with the flow. Tonight: Say yes.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★ Focusing will take talent, as so much is happening around you. Someone key to your life might be pushing you hard. Listen and try to accommodate this person. Emphasize strong communication. How you say what you think makes a difference. Tonight: Choose a relaxing activity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★★ You can make money or spend a lot of money, depending on how you handle a demand and your present need for self-expression. You do need to stop and think rather than impulsively book a trip or take off. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
***** Though you might be a bit lazy or tired, you get energized by those around you. Your mental enthusiasm energizes others; you don't need to be active. Just go into the business of being a cheerleader. Tonight: Rest up, because tomorrow you will need every drop of energy possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
******* You tell it like it is. Yet you might know more than you are letting on. Just as well, because you will feel more confident keeping this information to yourself. You are a secretive sign. Act like it as well. Others seek you out. Tonight: Find a favorite nook.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
*** Others might push you toward a risk, and only you can decide if it is worth it. You might risk, but know
★★★ Others push and prod for what they think should happen. You might be more irritated than you realize. As a result, you will cocoon and vanish. Still, seek out a different perspective. Tonight: Get as much sleep as you can. You will need it.
★★★★★ You have the ideas, creativity and charisma to create much more of what you want. Someone might compliment you, and although you might like the praise, you could be overwhelmed. Tonight: What would make you happy?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★★ You have the energy and force to accomplish what you want. Be careful how hard you push and of the words you choose. You could be a lot more brusque than you think, if angry, calm down before doing anything.
Tonight: Follow another's lead.
NEED CASH?

KANSAN SENIOR SWRIETWRITER
It was a successful weekend for the Big 12 Conference as 10 of the 11 Big 12 teams in action 'came away with victories, two of which were against top 10 ranked opponents.
Iowa State defeated Iowa on its home turf, and No.2 Texas traveled to then No.4 Ohio State and came away with a dramatic 25-22 victory broadcast on national television.
Vince Young, junior quarterback, led Texas on Saturday, garnering 270 passing yards and 76 rushing yards. Young also threw for two touchdowns and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Besides his statistics, Young led the Longhorns on their game winning drive, throwing a 24-yard touchdown pass to Limas Sweed with 2:37 remaining in the game. "We so glad to go up there and get a win. Ohio State's band even played 'Texas Fight' when we
left the field," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "It was just a shame that either team had to lose a game that was that hard fought."
Texas will look to carry the momentum from the Ohio State game into this weekend, when the Longhorns take on in-state foe Rice before starting conference play.
Iowa State's victory was considered more of an upset then Texas' because Iowa State entered its game unranked.
"I love Dan (McCarney) and what he has done for the Iowa State program. That was a great win for Iowa State
Iowa State knocked Iowa's starting quarterback, Drew Tate, out of the game in the second quarter and took advantage of it, holding off the Hawkeyes 23-3.
Two Iowa State players were recognized by the Big 12 Conference, as LaMarcus Hicks, senior cornerback, was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week, and Troy Blankenship, senior punter, was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week.
and the Big 12." Brown said. "Now we all need to get back down to earth and go to work. I was at Iowa State when they restarted the ISU-Iowa series in 1978 after 23 years because of a lot of fights, so that was an exciting time."
Iowa State will now have a week off before traveling to play Army.
Texas A&M did not play this week, but 10 of the 11 Big 12 teams in action did come away with a victory. The only team that lost was Missouri, which dropped a 45-35 game at home against New Mexico. Missouri will have to try to rebound before taking on Troy this Saturday.
"After looking at the tape, we saw that we just made some mistakes against New Mexico," Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said. "We gave up too many plays on defense and had some execution problems. We didn't get any turnovers in the game, and these things can be worked on for the future."

"I think it's a great opportunity to get some young kids on the floor and get some battle experience," she said.
Henrickson said the schedule would allow fans to follow the team more easily.
No Kansas team has played 21 home games in the history of Jayhawk women's basketball.
This year's team has six rookies joining six returning veterans.
The adult season ticket price of $96 means that fans can attend for less than $5 a game.
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said the home games would be a huge advantage.
All home games will be telecast on regional television through Sunflower Broadband channel 6 or Metro Sports in Kansas City.
Marchiony said the recently added games will likely be televised, but that has not been finalized.

Nearly half of league ranked nationally

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Big 12 volleyball season will begin Wednesday with five of the league's 11 teams ranked in the national preseason top 25 poll.
Coach Ray Bechard said he knew that what his team has seen thus far will pale in comparison to the stiff competition the Jayhawks will face from now on.
Kansas was picked to finish fifth in the conference by the league's coaches in the preseason. The Jayhawks have dominated their pre-conference opponents en route to an 8-1 record.
"The Big 12 will be the very best it's been in my 8 years here," he said.
"There are four or five Sweet Sixteen teams this year. You better be ready every night in this league."
The overwhelming favorite this year is Nebraska. The Huskers are ranked first in the nation and are the defending conference champions.
They finished the 2004 season with a perfect conference record for the fourth time in five years.
Sophomore outside hitter Sarah Paven was tabbed preseason player of the year. She was an all-American selection last season, becoming the first freshman in Nebraska history to earn that honor.
Nebraska was ousted from the NCAA Tournament in the regional finals by eventual na
tional champion, Southern California.
Missouri was picked second in the poll. The Tigers will enter conference play ranked 10th in the country and are coming off a sweep of No.9 Wisconsin.
The Tigers will return six starters off last year's NCAA Tournament squad. Looking to the future, Missouri has only one senior on its 2005 roster.
Texas was picked third. The Longhorns graduated two all-Americans and have only four starters returning from last year's team.
Kansas' opponent Wednesday, Texas A&M, was selected fourth. The Aggies, like the Jayhawks, advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament last season.
They will be aided, however, by junior middle blocker Jennifer Todd. This will be Todd's first season in Austin after transferring from Washington State, and she was named the Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year.
Senior outside hitter Laura Jones is the anchor for the Aggies. Jones was an all-American last year and is expected to be this season as well.
We know we'll have to play well to win. Having a sustained effort for the entire match is the biggest thing for us."
Ray Bechard
Kansas Volleyball Coach
Kansas junior*outside hitter Jana Correa said the Jayhawks were looking forward to the tough start to the season.
"I think we are ready to play, but it will be pretty hard," Correa said. "The competition will make us a better team. A&M is a very good team.
The Jayhawks are ranked fifth in the league, followed by Kansas State. Baylor and Colorado tied for seventh in the voting and preceded Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Iowa State rounded out the poll in 11th. Oklahoma State does not field a team.
Beachard said the Jayhawks had a lot to learn from last season. He said the team was inconsistent at times during the 2004 campaign, finishing in a sixth-place tie.
Bechard said that with the talent level in the Big 12 this season, the team couldn't afford to let its guard down at any point during the season.
In order for the Jayhawks to start off on the right foot, they will have to be sharo Wednesday night.
"We know we'll have to play well to win," he said. "Having a sustained effort for the entire match is the biggest thing for us."

Future grim for Barmann
A lot has changed for Adam Barmann in the past two weeks.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named the junior quarterback the starter for the first game of the season against Florida Atlantic.
Then, last Saturday, Barmann was not the first — or even the second — option for the Jayhawks at quarterback.
So what happened? Barmann was supposed to lead Kansas into a promising season against a Big 12 Conference that didn't have a clear-cut winner in the north.
Now, he appears to be the third stringer.
As a freshman in 2003, Barmann scored 5 touchdowns at Texas A&M and last season was part of the victory against Kansas State. He was pulled for then junior quarterback Jason Swanson.
- that's all that mattered.
But replacing Barmann was not talked about as much as it is now. Kansas beat Kansas State that's all that mattered.
Enter the present. Enter senior quarterback Brian Luke, Luke took the starting job last week against Appalachian State, and Barmann was not to be seen — except for one incomplete pass attempt.
What many may forget is that Luke gave the Kansas football faithful an element of foreshadowing at the end of last season when he replaced the injured Barmann in a win in Columbia against Missouri.
Barmann still expected to be the starter against Florida Atlantic, and was not surprised with Mangino's decision. No problem.
Kansas was up 9-0 against Florida Atlantic at the end of the first quarter. The points came from an Adam Barmann touchdown run. No problem.
Then, the second quarter began — big problem. After Barmann was unable to move Kansas down the field, he was benched for Luke.
Luke came in and was impressive in the victory. His stats were strong, and would have been better if not for dropped passes.
Who can argue with the success Kansas has had under Luke? He was sharp again against Appalachian State, completing 17 of 26 passes in the 36-8 victory.
With Kansas in command for much of the game, Mangino gave the offense a change of pace at quarterback — but it wasn't Barmann who entered the game.
Freshman quarterback Marcus Herford filled in at various times and gave the Jayhawks a dual threat at quarterback. If Luke is the starter and Herford situationally played, where would that leave Barmann?
Unfortunately for him, the answer against Appalachian State was on the bench.
Future playing time for Barmann does not look favorable either. After Luke graduates, Herford will still be around, along with freshman quarterback Kerry Meier.
From undisputed starter in week one to garbage minutes in week two — yes, a lot has changed for Barmann in the past two weeks.

New Orleans comes to Kansas
The Kansas men's basketball team has added another game to its 2005-2006 schedule. Kansas will play the University of New Orleans on Dec. 29, a knowledgeable source said yesterday.
The game will be televised on ESPN2 at 6:30 p.m. central time.
New Orleans was originally scheduled to play Norfolk State University on that date, but it altered its schedule to play Kansas, the source said.
Led by coach Monte Towe,
the Privateers finished 13-17 in
2004-05 and 7-8 in the Sun Belt
Conference. Kansas and New Orleans both played Louisiana-Lafayette last season. Kansas defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 96-51, while New Orleans lost 72-67.
The University of New Orleans suffered severe damage from Hurricane Katrina. According to its Web site, more than one third of the university is underwater.
Because of the damage, the school's men's basketball team has temporarily relocated to the University of Texas at Tyler.

Junior running back Jon Cornish runs past Appalachian State defenders during the second half Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Cornish carried the ball 10 times for 104 yards and three touchdowns.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Junior running back Jon Cornish has made use of his limited carries during the Jayhawks' first two games, rushing for nearly 149 yards on 14 carries with four touchdowns, and he looked every bit as good as starting running back, senior Clark Green.
The Kansas quarterback controversy may have ended against Appalachian State, but if the Kansas running backs keep performing they way they have this season, there may be a new controversy brewing.
Green ranks
Mangino said that Cornish gives the Jayhawks a rare combination of power and speed, as he is able to run over defenders or burn them with his quickness.
"He is very quick his feet are extremely quick. He just has some power"
Mark Mangino

"If you are going to be a back in our system, you've got to pass protect," he said. "You've got to block, maybe for the quarterback or another running back in the run game. We need a complete back."
"He runs with a natural lean with his pads down." Mangino
Coming into the season, Cornish had just one rushing attempt in his career at Kansas.
Cornish emerged after spring practices, though, and is now looking to see a more permanent role in the Jayhawk rushing attack.
"He's pretty close," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "I am pleased with the way he has responded this year."
"Cornish is one of those guys that is going to keep his knees high," junior center David Ochoa said. "He is going to keep running until he physically cannot keep going."

But now the running back unit appears to be the strength of the offense after collecting over 200 yards rushing in each of the two games this season.
Last season Kansas averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, and the team lost its leading rusher in John Randle when he was dismissed from the team.
"I think it is wonderful. When one is tired, the other one goes in," Mangino said. "I think we have a good thing going."

Hispanic Heritage Month officially starts with music and games tomorrow at noon at the Kansas Union Plaza.
Hispanic Heritage Month recognizes the various cultures of Caribbean, Central and South American countries. At the University of Kansas, organizations and community groups organized cultural and political events under the theme for the month, "Paving the Way for Future Generations."
Last night, a presentation was given titled, "Mexicans as the New Irish," comparing similarities of the two cultures in regards to immigration policies.
Some of this month's main events include a presentation by Jeanne Castellanos from the University of California at Irvine on "Latinos in Higher Education" on Sept. 20.
Comedian Carlos Mencia will visit the Lied Center on Oct. 4.
Victor Aguilar, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said this meant establishing a strong precedent for other Hispanic students attending the University.

Former student's company makes strides in home audio industry
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Imagine an audio speaker as transparent as plastic wrap and as thin as a single-subject notebook.
That's what Gayle Sanders made, and the outlook for the future looks good through his creation.
Sanders was an architecture student with a passion for the audio industry when he started his research in 1979 at the University of Kansas. He knew he was intrigued by electrostatic technology, a concept deemed too dangerous to use. Sanders eventually tamed the beast of the technology after three years of research, and now his company, MartinLogan, is making waves in the home audio industry.
"I knew if I could crack the barrier in making a highly aesthetically pleasing product, I could build a better mousetrap," Sanders said.
Science Behind the Speakers
Electrostatic technology was first developed in the 19th century. Because the technology used an extremely large amount of volts to produce sound, it caused a lot of explosions and sparks to fly.
The idea behind electrostatic speakers has to do with magnets. When a magnet is positively charged, it will repel other positively charged magnets and attract negatively charged magnets. This concept is what makes MartinLogan speakers work, said Devin Zell, assistant marketing manager of MartinLogan.

STUDENT SENATE
Banned mascots face further scrutiny
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Multicultural Affairs committee drafted the resolution. Shawnee sophomore and First Nations Student Association senator Studio Red Corn said the committee's job was to bring issues of discrimination to Student Senate.
Student Senate will vote today on a resolution recommending that the Athletics Department not schedule games against teams with mascots banned by the NCAA.
"Educational institutions of all places are upholding these stereotypes instead of teaching a fullrounded history of America." Red Corn said. "Too often non-natives are dressed up in false regalia, with no idea of the meaning behind what they are attempting to represent. Worse, though, these mascots perpetuate stereotypes that date back over a hundred years."
The NCAA decided Aug. 4 to prevent schools with abusive ethnic or racial mascots to show those
Only a handful of schools uphold their mascots with respect, he said.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said he would not comment on the issue because he hadn't seen the resolution. He added that it sounded like a decision the University would make, instead of the Athletics Department.
mascots at championship games.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior and holdover senator, said if the NCAA was willing to ban offensive mascots, the department should follow.
"This is a national movement, and the NCAA has made this an issue," Craig said. "KU as an NCAA
school should show our support."
Craig said part of the NCAAs goal behind its policy is for universities and students to discuss the issue.

Future grim for Barmann
A lot has changed for Adam Barmann in the past two weeks.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named the junior quarterback the starter for the first game of the season against Florida Atlantic.
Then, last Saturday, Barmann was not the first — or even the second — option for the Jayhawks at quarterback.
So what happened? Barmann was supposed to lead Kansas into a promising season against a Big 12 Conference that didn't have a clear-cut winner in the north.
Now, he appears to be the third stringer.
As a freshman in 2003, Barmann scored 5 touchdowns at Texas A&M and last season was part of the victory against Kansas State. He was pulled for then junior quarterback Jason Swanson.
But replacing Barmann was not talked about as much as it is now. Kansas beat Kansas State — that's all that mattered.
Enter the present. Enter senior quarterback Brian Luke. Luke took the starting job last week against Appalachian State, and Barmann was not to be seen — except for one incomplete pass attempt.
What many may forget is that Luke gave the Kansas football faithful an element of foreshadowing at the end of last season when he replaced the injured Barmann in a win in Columbia against Missouri.
Barmann still expected to be the starter against Florida Atlantic, and was not surprised with Mangino's decision. No problem.
Kansas was up 9-0 against Florida Atlantic at the end of the first quarter. The points came from an Adam Barmann touchdown run. No problem.
Then, the second quarter began — big problem. After Barmann was unable to move Kansas down the field, he was benched for Luke.
Luke came in and was impressive in the victory. His stats were strong, and would have been better if not for dropped passes.
Who can argue with the success Kansas has had under Luke? He was sharp-again against Appalachian State, completing 17 of 26 passes in the 36-8 victory.
With Kansas in command for much of the game, Mangino gave the offense a change of pace at quarterback — but it wasn't Barmann who entered the game.
Freshman quarterback Marcus Herford filled in at various times and gave the Jayhawks a dual threat at quarterback. If Luke is the starter and Herford situationally played, where would that leave Barmann?
Unfortunately for him, the answer against Appalachian State was on the bench.
Future playing time for Barmann does not look favorable either. After Luke graduates, Herford will still be around, along with freshman quarterback Kerry Meier.
From undisputed starter in week one to garbage minutes in week two — yes, a lot has changed for Barmann in the past two weeks.

Game added to schedule
New Orleans comes to Kansas
The Kansas men's basketball team has added another game to its 2005-2006 schedule. Kansas will play the University of New Orleans on Dec. 29, a knowledgeable source said yesterday.
The game will be televised on ESPN2 at 6:30 p.m. central time.
New Orleans was originally scheduled to play Norfolk State University on that date, but it altered its schedule to play Kansas, the source said.
Led by coach Monte Towe,
the Privateers finished 13-17 in
2004-05 and 7-8 in the Sun Belt
Conference. Kansas and New Orleans both played Louisiana-Lafayette last season. Kansas defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 96-51, while New Orleans lost 72-67.
The University of New Orleans suffered severe damage from Hurricane Katrina. According to its Web site, more than one third of the university is underwater.
Because of the damage, the school's men's basketball team has temporarily relocated to the University of Texas at Tyler.

Mangino said that Cornish gives the Jayhawks a rare combination of power and speed, as he is able to run over defenders or burn them with his quickness.
"He is very quick his feet are extremely quick. He just has some power"
"Cornish is one of those guys that is going to keep his knees high," junior center David Ochoa said. "He is going to keep running until he physically cannot keep going."
“He's pretty close,” Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. “I am pleased with the way he has responded this year.”
Coming into the season, Cornish had just one rushing attempt in his career at Kansas.

Phi Delt Three showed offensive strength and defeated Fourth Floor Ellsworth 14-7 yesterday.
In the first few minutes, Phi Delt Three quickly scored on a touchdown pass from Alex Di-Carlo, Overland Park junior, to Ryan Mizer, Salina sophomore. The team followed that up with another throw by DiCarlo to Mizer for the extra point.
Fourth Floor Ellsworth was stopped short of scoring when Mizer intercepted a pass thrown
by Austin Housmann, Liberal freshman, on the following drive.
Phi Delt Three's offense went down the field again and scored on a touchdown pass by DiCarlo to B.J. Adams, Leawood sophomore.
Fourth Floor Ellsworth then tried Rocky Rosales, Chanute freshman, at quarterback, but he was also intercepted, this time by Jack Spangler, Leawood sophomore.

Fourth Floor Ellsworth stopped Phi Delt Three on its next drive and finally made it into the endzone on a pass by Rosales to Anthony Wichnan, Liberal freshman.
There was not enough time for a comeback by Fourth Floor Ellsworth, though, and its fate was sealed when Mizer picked off Rosales again.
After the game Phi Delt Three agreed that Mizer was the MVP of the game.

Hispanic Heritage Month officially starts with music and games tomorrow at noon at the Kansas Union Plaza.
Hispanic Heritage Month recognizes the various cultures of Caribbean, Central and South American countries. At the University of Kansas, organizations and community groups organized cultural and political events under the theme for the month, "Paving the Way for Future Generations."
Last night, a presentation was given titled, "Mexicans as the New Irish," comparing similarities of the two cultures in regards to immigration policies.
Some of this month's main events include a presentation by Jeanette Castellanos from the University of California at Irvine on "Latinos in Higher Education" on Sept. 20.
Comedian Carlos Mencia will visit the Lied Center on Oct. 4.
Victor Aguilar, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said this meant establishing a strong precedent for other Hispanic students attending the University.

Former student's company makes strides in home audio industry
BY GABY SOUZA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Imagine an audio speaker as transparent as plastic wrap and as thin as a single-subject notebook.
That's what Gayle Sanders made, and the outlook for the future looks good through his creation.
"I knew if I could crack the barrier in making a highly aesthetically pleasing product, I could build a better mousetrap," Sanders said.
Sanders was an architecture student with a passion for the audio industry when he started his research in 1979 at the University of Kansas. He knew he was intrigued by electrostatic technology, a concept deemed too dangerous to use. Sanders eventually tamed the beast of the technology after three years of research, and now his company, MartinLogan, is making waves in the home audio industry.
Science Behind the Speakers
Electrostatic technology was first developed in the 19th century. Because the technology used an extremely large amount of volts to produce sound, it caused a lot of explosions and sparks to fly.
The idea behind electrostatic speakers has to do with magnets. When a magnet is positively charged, it will repel other positively charged magnets and attract negatively charged magnets. This concept is what makes MartinLogan speakers work, said Devin Zell, assistant marketing manager of Martin-Logan.

Who's Who at KU BY KIM WALLACE editor@kansan.com
Ken Stoner
Director of Student Housing
What is a typical day like for you?
KS: It varies from day to day. I meet with student groups, have other meetings, tour facilities and construction projects. It really kind of depends on the day.
What changes or improvements will we be seeing in student housing this year or in the coming years?
KS: Of course this year you'll see that we'll open Rieger Hall. The dedication of it is September 24. Hashinger is currently shut down and undergoing renovation so it will open next fall, so that is probably two of the bigger changes.
What improvements are being made with Hashing Hall?
KS: Well, we are generating some more public room space down there. Student rooms won't be a lot different from what they are now, but the theater will get more space and there will be more music practice room
space, dance, workout room areas,
just additional public room space.
Each wing will get a small study
room. Increased emphasis on public
room space.
What is the biggest housing complaint received each year?
KS: Well, I suppose when it changes from fall to winter or winter to spring. The air conditioning system we have is a two pipe system, so you're either putting cold water through the pipes or hot water through the pipes, one day when the weather is making up its mind whether it's really going to be spring or summer, there are days that are cool and others that are hot. On cool days, of course they want the heat on, and on hot days they want the air conditioner on
and we're in that in-between time.
How long have you been in charge of student housing?
KS: I'm in my 20th year now.
KS: I have been at four different institutions before coming to KU. I was at
State and did my bachelors there, Iowa State and did my master's there. I worked a couple years at the University of South Florida, and then I was at Tennessee where I did my doctorate and then I got
back to Kansas in 1985. One of the major differences that we see in housing from when I was a student to now, a lot of the amenities have gravitated to the student room. We used to have a TV lounge, well now the TV is in the room. We used to have a cook area where most of the suites now have a zap station with microwave and refrigerator, that's in the student room. Computers and bathrooms are the same way.
What advice do you have for in-
coming students living in housing?
KS: Take advantage of all the resources that there are. We provide a very educational supportive and enriching environment. Students that live in housing tend to graduate sooner and on schedule compared to those that don't. There's academic resource centers, RA's, cable and data connections, in addition to all the other activities on campus.

Henry and Brush are the only two greek students to transfer to the University from Tulane, where Brush was a member of Chi Omega and Henry was a member of Pi Beta Phi. The two women have been accepted into the respective chapters at the University. Though they continue to adjust, Greek life made the transition easier.
"It was an immediate group of friends. It was really comforting to know that people out there cared about me," said Brush, Edmond, Okla., second-year architecture student and newest member of Chi Omega.
- Edited by Kellis Robinett
Henry, Prairie Village junior, moved into the Pi Beta Phi sorority house. Sorority members at Tulane do not live in the house. Henry said living with 91 other women was a completely different atmosphere.
The sorority immediately accepted her, said Katy Ibsen, Boulder, Colo., senior and Pi Beta Phi president.
"We're really caring for each other, and that means all Pi Phi's and not just Kansas Pi Phi's." Ibsen said. "Nobody even questioned our transfer coming in here."
Although Brush moved in
with students from the School of Architecture, Chi Omega members say Brush's arrival has strengthened their house, too.
"Now that we have the opportunity to help one girl, it brings it all closer to home," said Kelly Kate Waldron, Aspen, Colo., senior and Chi Omega president. "Everyone has been so willing and so receptive; it really has been a bonding thing for our house."
Although Tulane-based communication isn't vet functioning, Brush and Henry contact their Tulane sorority sisters through facebook.com and blogs.
"I have to count my blessings that everyone I know is safe and sound," Henry said.
Brush said the past two weeks had been stressful, but her life was settling down.
"I don't know what I would have done without them," she said.

Parking tickets affect downtown living
BY STEVE LYNN

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Carolyn Tharp paid $192 for a parking permit in a lot located a few blocks from her downtown residence, only to accumulate about $500 in parking fines over two years.
Tharp has owned a car two out of the three years she has lived in an apartment at Ninth and Massachusetts streets.
"After two years, parking was such a pain in the ass I got rid of my car."

"After two years, parking was such a pain in the ass I got rid of my car," Tharp, Lawrence senior, said.
Lawrence senior
Tharp had so many unpaid parking tickets that two warrants were out for her arrest.
City officials said that parking fines could accumulate quickly and could result in large fines. Students who live downtown and those who frequent the area can attest to large fines that always begin with a $2 ticket.
Vicki Stanwix, court administrator at Lawrence Municipal Court, said an average of 800 to 900 notices per month were sent to people who owe at least $20. She also said that out-of-state vehicles were harder to track down because court clerks had to gather information from other state's databases.

Erin Bodzin, Dallas senior,
said her friends told her that
she didn't have to pay parking
tickets in Downtown Lawrence
because the city didn't keep
track of fines. She paid $40 for
Seven months after Erin received her last ticket, her mother in Texas received a notice in the mail stating that she had to pay the fines or a warrant could be issued for her arrest because the car was registered in the mother's name.
"I learned a lesson," Bodzin said. "If I ever get one again, I'll pay it right away."
Jerry Little, city prosecutor, said people who receive five or more tickets in 30 days were charged $50 in addition to already accumulated fines.
Those who refuse to pay fines can be arrested and jailed. The judge usually sets the bond so that it equals the total fine. Most people post the bond instead of going to trial. Little said.
Tharp's roommate, Jake
lones, Stillwater, Minn., senior.
said he struggled to avoid parking tickets downtown.
Sometimes, Jones doesn't park in the lot on 10th and Vermont streets, where he spent a couple hundred dollars on a parking permit. Instead, he goes grocery shopping and parks in the two-hour lot adjacent to his apartment, he said.
When he doesn't want to move his car from its location to his apartment, he erases the chalk from his car tire that parking attendants apply to keep track of how long a car has been parked in a space.
"The cons of parking are outweighed by how fun it is to live downtown," Jones said.
For Tharp, the expense of parking downtown has inconvenienced her. She spends much of her time downtown, but without a car traveling to see her parents has been difficult.

Organization recovers losses
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas University Endowment Association made significant gains in the stock market this year and has appeared to offset losses incurred during the recent recession.
After the market values of the association's endowed funds dropped 14.4 percent from $855.5 million in 2000 to a low point of $732.2 million in 2002, the value climbed back to $849.3 million in 2004.
Dale Seuferling, president of the Endowment Association, warned against making too much out of yearly gains or losses.
The market value has not been released for fiscal year 2005, but the association has reported a 13.7 percent return on investments, showing the association has bounced back significantly since the stock market went down.
"Our horizon is 50 years,100 years," he said. "We're not so focused on one-year or two-year returns."
When the Endowment Association receives a donation, it invests
that money in stocks to accrue interest before making a contribution to the University.
The Endowment Association provided $76.6 million to the University in 2004, which helped fund scholarships, endowed professorships, research funding and building improvements.

The losses of the Endowment Association that followed the downturn in Internet and technology stocks at the start of the century mirrored losses of endowment associations nationwide. Its recent gains have also been paralleled by other universities.
When the association posted a rise of 18.1 percentage points on annual returns on investments for fiscal year 2004, the nationwide average rose 12.1 percentage points, according to a survey of 747 universities by the National Association of College and University Business Officers.
The association hit a low in investment returns in 2002 when it lost 7.9 percent on its investments. The national average that year was a 6-percent loss, according to NACUBO.
While it was losing money in the stock market, the association

benefitted from KU First, a large-scale fundraising campaign that operated from 1998 to 2004. The fundraising campaign raised $653 million, exceeding its initial $500 million goal.
Jeff Davis, senior vice president of finance and treasurer of the Endowment Association, attributed the association's ability to bounce
back in the market to investing in a wide variety of stocks and bonds rather than overinvesting in hightech stocks.
"It's a very high-quality, well-diversified portfolio," he said. "I don't think there's been any one major, dramatic change to it."

CORRECTIONS
Yesterday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. In the article "Coalition alleges partiality" KUnited was found to have committed five violations of the election code.
The Sept. 9 University Daily Kansan contained several errors.The story "LMH proposes expansion of its facility" should have said that eight years ago,15,000 patients visited Lawrence Memorial Hospital's emergency department, while 29,000 visited the department last year. LMH spokeswoman Michele Berendsen said the hospital wanted to increase square footage of the emergency department by up to 50 percent. She said the surgical facility would be enhanced, because the current facility was 20 years old and was not prepared to meet the demands of changing technology and patient flow.
- Monday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Nationwide shortage forces clinics to choose," though correct when written, was out-of-date when published. Watkins Memorial Health Center has about 250 meningitis vaccines currently on hand. In addition, 76 percent of students living in on-campus housing have received meningitis vaccines, 5 percent have signed a waiver indicating they do not wish to receive the vaccine and 19 percent remain noncompliant.

Planned gift helps librarian hopefuls
Nancy Sanders and her husband, Wilman Crowe, left a planned gift of $250,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association for the Raymond W. and Dorothy Jewell Sanders Fund.
The fund will be used to encourage interest in librarians as a career by providing support for one or more students employed in the University of Kansas libraries.The dean of libraries will determine the process of selection.

Diane Silver said a planned gift was a donation that was part of a person's estate planning. She said the endowment association would not immediately receive the funds from a planned gift. Instead, the donation would be received and used after the death of the people who set up the gift.
Silver said that by setting up an endowed fund, the donors have enabled the University to have financial support far into the future. She said endowed funds also grow over time as they're invested.

STATE West Nile virus still lingers in Kansas
TOPEKA — Kansas health officials said the state has had four confirmed cases and one probable case of the West Nile virus this year.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said yesterday that an 82-year-old Douglas County resident had a confirmed case and a 61-year-old Douglas County resident has a probable case.
Both had onset of symptoms in late August. The agency declined to reveal additional
information about the people.
The other cases this year include a 28-year-old Johnson County resident, a 51-year-old Douglas County resident and a 40-year-old Rice County resident.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that as of Sept. 6,821 human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in 32 states,with 18 deaths.
Last year, 2,535 human cases and 98 deaths were reported to CDC, with western states hit the hardest. During the past six years, West Nile has been confirmed in every state except Alaska and Hawaii.
KDHE confirmed 66 human cases and two deaths in the state last year, compared to 90 human cases and seven deaths in 2003. No deaths have been reported this year.
This is the fourth year the virus has been found in Kansas, and the sixth in the United States.

This material holds a positive charge and is attracted to one metal plate, but repelled by the other. The charge of the metal plates is constantly changing, and the material is pushed back and forth between the metal plates. This push and pull process creates sound.

A Business is Born
Sanders had an unused, but incredible, technology and a great idea, but he had no way to develop what he wanted to do.
That's when he turned to Ronald Sutherland, an engineer who could help him use what he knew.
They combined Sutherland's expertise with Sanders' eye for design to create the first Martin-Logan speaker.
They named it Monolith, and Sanders called it "a tour de force of engineering and elegance."

"I want many others to follow in the footsteps that we as one of the few Hispanic Jayhawks are leaving behind," he said.
For the Fall 2004 semester, the University had 844 Hispanic students on the Lawrence campus, including 677 undergraduates. Mariza Rosales, Olathe junior, said the University provided Hispanic students with many effective outlets for activities and leadership.
Hispanic Heritage Month begins nationwide tomorrow, which is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, and Chile.
Additionally, Mexico achieved independence on Sept. 16, and Chile on Sept. 18.
Santos Núñez, program director for the Multicultural Resource Center, said that the events throughout the month were designed to highlight and educate people about the various groups that make up the Hispanic culture.
Robert Rodriguez, associate
director of the McNair Scholars Program and Argentine-American, said it was important to make the distinction between the subgroups within the Hispanic family.
"People tend to think either we're all Mexican or that we all like spicy foods or we all like to Salsa dance," Rodriguez said. "But if you get a little deeper, there is a great diversity within
the different aspects of our cultures."
Rosales said sometimes explaining her culture could be difficult because people didn't understand or share her culture, but that occasions like Hispanic Heritage Month provided a great opportunity to share her culture with others.
"With events like these, it's nice to be around people who
share your values, and together, we can share it with other people." Rosales said.
Organizations involved in planning the events include the Multicultural Resource Center, Office of Multicultural Affairs, Hispanic American Leadership Organization and the Latino Council.

example," said Six, a KU alumnus.
Levy said he approved of the nomination but disagreed with the common misconception that intellect was a key factor in determining the best nominee for the Supreme Court.
He said being a good person was just as important.
McAllister said that Roberts was qualified, but that the court is historically not representative of the American people.
"Smart isn't the only thing you would want in a Supreme Court justice." Levy said.
He said all the justices generally came from an elite background and have attended elite schools such as Harvard.
Reilly Pharo, Denver sophomore and political science major, said the forum was interesting to see how pertinent the Constitution still was but that sometimes people took it for granted.
"It's disappointing to see the lack of interest people have about it." Pharo said.
Gretchen Wieland, Sterling, Ill., sophomore, found the forum timely considering the current situation with vacancies on the Supreme Court.
"It's really interesting to see the whole process in action," Wieland said.
The purpose of yesterday's forum and the mission of Constitution Day, on Saturday, was to perpetuate the Constitution to the next generation.
Rep. Barbara Ballard said Americans did not know enough about what the Constitution is and what it does.
"We're not really appreciating the Constitution as much as we should." Ballard said.

AUSTIN BABY, YEAH!
Queer' connotations prompt change
What's in a name?
With a group comprising gay men, lesbians, transgenders and bisexuals, it's hard to find one all-encompassing term.
To stay in accordance with our style guide, the editors who worked Sunday evening held a discussion and decided to change the term "homosexuals" to "quers" in the article "Protesters return to campus." The reporter was not responsible for its use.
For about 10 years, the Kansan has used the term 'queer' to describe the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community. The rule in our style guide states, "Although the term 'queer' was offensive
AUSTIN CASTER acaster@kansan.com
in the past, it is a term in transition. It is not considered as offensive by younger generations (which are our primary audience) and is the preferred term of many." The stylebook for The Associated Press, another source the Kansan staff refers to, does not include an entry for "queer." It does, however, list the term "gay" as acceptable, but leaves out the bisexual and transgendered parts of the community.
Though we have used this term for about 10 years, and already several times this semester, it drew criticism in Monday's edition through the forms of letters to the editor and Free for All comments.
The feedback received prompted research to determine whether our style guide required an update.
The Web site for the KU organization Queers and Allies poses the same question I was researching: "Why the word 'queer?'" Because "queer" is an all-inclusive, one-syllable word, because it pushes the envelope and because it continues to gain acceptance in political and academic context, according to the site.
But because the Kansan received so much negative feedback, my investigation led to Santos Nunez, director of the Multicultural Resource Center.
"There's differences in what people call themselves, and they're from the same cultural group," she said. "A lot of it has to do with the generation.
"You have some of the older people who remember being called those names and to them, it's not powerful, it's derogatory."
It's easy to see why the commotion arose. The term "queer," as defined on Wikipedia.org, traditionally means strange or unusual.
"Growing up that word had a very negative connotation," said Michael Franklin, LGBT resource coordinator. "Being called queer was not a fun thing."
Though he suggested "gay" as his preferred term, I found conflicting evidence elsewhere.
The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, lists a media reference guide on its Web site, www.glaad.org.
The site deems the terms "gay," "homosexual" and "lifestyle" as dated and derogatory.
"Traditionally a pejorative term, 'queer' has been appropriated by some LGBT people
to describe themselves. Some value the term for its defiance and because it can be inclusive of the entire LGBT community. Nevertheless, it is not universally accepted even within the LGBT community and should be avoided unless quoting someone who self-identifies that way," according to the site.
So, as long as the organization chooses to call itself Queers and Allies, we will print its preferred name. But from now on, the Kansan will refer to the community as a whole as "LGBT."

Peace Prize winner speaks
When Lech Walesa visits the University of Kansas this month to accept the Dole Leadership Prize, you can bet I'll be at the ceremony to see him. Not just because I'm Polish-American or because I enjoy history, but because this is a man who literally changed the world.
With his courage and ability to organize mass movements of people, Walesa was able to singlehandedly launch a peaceful revolution strong enough to crumble the virtually indestructible communist government in Eastern Europe.
This victory won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, and a coveted place in Time's "Most Influential Personalities of the 20th Century."
Wales went on to become the country's president - the first democratically elected leader in post-Communist Poland.
To better understand why Walesa (pronounced "Vawensa") is so important, consider how oppressive communism must have been: Imagine having no freedom of speech and few rights to own property.
MARYSIA KAMINSKA

You cannot have a passport at home, and each time you want to travel abroad, you must ask for permission to do so. You might be hungry from the recent food shortage, and if there is food, you must wait in line for hours to get the simplest of necessities like milk or
bread. You cannot meet freely with other people without government supervision, and you constantly have a nagging feeling that you're being watched ... because you are.
This is how people like Wales lived less than 30 years ago during the age of communism in Eastern Europe. Communism operated differently from the capitalist society that you and I are used to; it assigned less value to a free market and basic human rights.
With his compassion for human life, natural talent for organizing people and above all, courage, Wales, like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. before him, used non-violent methods to galvanize a grass roots social movement to demand better working conditions. These humble beginnings occurred at a shipyard in Dgansk, in North
Nearly every attempt to overthrow the communist government, however, ended in bloodshed. Thousands of people were killed, hope for a better future seemed unattainable, and communism seemed invincible.
Poland, where Wales worked as an electrician in 1980.
With the large-scale mobilization of shipyard workers came Solidarity, the first independent trade union. For the first time in nearly 50 years, an organization of its character was not controlled by the communist government. Though Solidarity was crushed by the military in 1981, the government's intervention happened too late:
Walesa's movement ignited peaceful rebellions across the entire bloc of Eastern Europe, and communism began ripping at the seams. Soon after, the Berlin Wall collapsed, as did the Soviet bloc.
For once, people stopped being scared. This historical milestone was possible because one visionary man demanded life and basic human rights in a free society for himself and for generations to come.
His journey affected the entire world and re-wrote our history books.
I sincerely hope that students, teachers and anyone else interested will take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Lech Walesa.
His story is one of incredible inspiration because it truly shows the power of a single individual.

Enter the abusement park
"Welcome aboard the FOX American Trolley. We are Americans, and the planet is our amusement park. On your tour today, you will see America through our eyes, but as a forewarning, we only represent the perspective of faithful Americans and not those bleeding-heart liberals.
Americans are generally people with good intentions who want the best for our loved ones. Fortuitously, we are provided with the greatest array of economic opportunities. We may have more tokens than anyone else, but we feel we earned them through our hard work and innovation.
Four years ago, vandals conducted a malicious strike against our Ferris Wheel of Progress, but we trust that our beloved regional park manager and his board members have a strategy for capturing them. We have faith that they will prevent future harm by means of an effective approach to combat this unique problem. And surely, they would never go as low as to exploit the tragedy by using it as a rational for unrelated political actions or to distract park-goers from internal management troubles.
Look to the left and you will see a typical American family. The parents wear their 'I Survived the Cold War Roller coaster' T-shirts with their American-flag-imprinted fancy packs holding credit cards, SUV keys and super shopper coupons. Theyoungermembers tend to wear labeled clothing they buy at popular souvenir shops like Conformity Corner or that they win as prizes from overpriced carnival games like 'Rate Your Hotness' or 'How Suburban Gangsta Are You?'

They enter individual simulators with 3-D visors and live vicariously through entertaining characters that are put in outrageous scenarios that nearly seem real.

"On the final episode of "Who Wants to Marry a Midget Porn Star?" only two girls remain.

It is followed by "Ultimate Televangelist Showdown."
Now folks, if that preview captured your interest, you will be even more intrigued by the wild and unpredictable virtual reality sitcom 'Extreme Iraqi Makeover.' Those Shilites, Kurds and Sunnis can be so silly, not to mention the hilarity of the writers of the show.

We have offered suggestions to other lands on how they should run their sections, but we often had to shut our ears to their constant nagging of our alleged arrogance, which we know is disguised jealously.
One of the executive producers stated that it might be renewed for another 12 years by the network, ensuring that Iraq-mania will undeniably continue to be a part of our virtual reality.
We would tell you about the other sections of the park, but in all honestly, there is not much worth telling. As shown in your pamphlets, the African attractions are too outdated and offer nothing of interest. We have heard that Asian Land is particularly crowded, making the lines too long. And the Latin American section lacks basic comforts, like drinkable water, which are fine for them but unacceptable for us.

Resource center's tribute to accomplished women

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
They come from all areas of the globe: Bosnia, Oklahoma, Wichita. They span through different generations: undergraduates, alumni, faculty. They represent a variety of experiences, achievements and interests: a pioneering engineer, a musician, a Rhodes Scholar. Nineteen women earned the honor to be featured in the third annual KU Women of Distinction Calendar.
The calendar is the brainchild of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, a student service that works to address women and gender-specific issues. It also promotes education and awareness of issues through resources, programs and staff consultations.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the University of Kansas resource center, said the calendar was developed more than three years ago to challenge the way women are commonly portrayed in objectified ways.
"The goal of the calendar is to present women in a positive way, focusing on achievements, not physical attributes," she said.
The e-lendar aims to celebrate the achievements and involvement of women
Rose-Mockry said that a global representation of women featured on the calendar was essential.
and how far they have come, not just within the University, but globally as well.
"It is important to have a range of cultures, majors, backgrounds, undergraduate and graduate students, and age ranges in making a positive statement to the campus," she said.
Marynell Jones, Wichita senior and student body vice president, was recognized in this year's calendar. She said many female students accomplished great tasks without receiving much praise.
Among the diverse women featured in the calendar are Vedrana Balta, a Bosnian senior; University alumna Marge Heard Franklin, who established her own engineering firm; and Santos Nunez, a doctoral student and director of the Multicultural Resource Center.

which go unnoticed and this calendar is a magnificent way to recognize their contributions to the University," Jones said. "I know several of the other women on the calendar and I am proud to say that each of them have sacrificed and worked hard for this university in a way that goes above and beyond being a member of the community."
The calendar is distributed for free around campus, which Rose-Mockry said was an important aspect of the calendar in reaching a wide audience.
The calendar is also used at the Office of Admissions and is also distributed to Kansas high schools to exhibit a positive and successful image to younger women.
"A lot of women entering a college environment don't feel equipped to achieve, and the calendar helps to change perspectives and encourage," Rose-Mockry said.
Rose-Mocky hopes that other women will look to the calendar to be optimistic by the many women featured who have overcome challenges to become who they are.
The calendar can be found at all KU bookstores, the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, the Kansas Union and the Edwards Campus.

Herford helps offense
Freshman QB steps up in debut

Freshman quarterback Marcus Herford was surprised when he entered the third quarter of last Saturday's victory against Appalachian State.

quarterback spot at the beginning of spring practices, but Mangino switched him to wide receiver and had been practicing there until last week.
Last week was the first time since spring practices that Herford had taken snaps at the quarterback position.
Herford was successful when he saw action, as he rushed for 42 yards. His second carry went for 16 yards and a first down. Herford was perfect on his passing attempts as well, going 2-for-2 for 16 yards.
"I thought it was a pretty good game for me," Herford said. "But it wasn't just me of course."
He added that the offensive line helped out with a solid performance.
While Herford primarily ran the ball last Saturday, he said
was pleased with his ability to throw the football as well.

"I felt fine throwing it. I read my reads, I think I did pretty well," Herford said. "They want me to run the ball, and if that's what they want me to do, that is fine. If I have to pass, I'll pass."
It's unclear how many repetitions Herford will see in this weekend's game against Louisiana Tech, but Mangino is pleased with Herford's work.

Experienced A&M comes to Kansas
No.15 Aggies bring veterans to Horejsi

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas will have to defend its four-game winning streak against No. 15 Texas A&M in both teams' Big 12 Conference opener tonight.
The Jayhawks enter the contest with an 8-1 record, including three consecutive victories in the Pizza Hut Jayhawk Invitational, held last weekend.
Playing at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center will be an advantage for the Jayhawks. Kansas hasn't dropped any of its last six home matches.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said the team's nonconference opponents were good preparation for the early Big 12 competition.
Texas A&M is 7-2 after losing to No. 8 Southern California on Sunday. The Aggies returned five starters from last year's squad, which finished 19-9 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Texas A&M is led by senior outside hitter Laura Jones. Jones, an All-American and a two-time All-Big 12 selection, was last week's conference player of the week. She tied an Aggie record Saturday with 55 kill in a victory against Louisiana State.
Kansas dominated Texas
A&M the last time the two teams met. The 3-0 home victory for the Jayhawks was only their second in the all-time series. The Aggies have won 17 of 19 matches against the Jayhawks. Both KU victories were at home.
After a victory against Temple last Saturday, junior outside hitter Jana Correa said the Jayhawks had displayed improvement in the most recent games.
"Our serves and our defense
were much better than when we played BYU," Correa said. "I think we are ready to play."
Beachard has expressed concern with the Jayhawks' consistency all season. For instance, Kansas committed 25 hitting errors against Temple. Overall, the Jayhawks have been efficient this season though, posting a .262 attack percentage compared with their opponents'.167 mark.
Also, the team's serving was a problem earlier in the year. That is
sue has been slowly corrected. To date, the Jayhawks have served 74 aces against 108 errors.
Beachard said the Jayhawks would have to be sharp to beat the Aggies.
"Texas A&M will be a very experienced top 15, top 20 type of team," he said. "It will be a good challenge for us. We can't afford to have some of the mistakes we've made at times."

After two games, Kansas football coach Mark Mangiino said the defense was not where it was a year ago, and needed to develop last season's mental edge over opponents.
After Kansas's 36-8 victory against Appalachian State, Mangino said the defense played all right, but had room for improvement.
"I'm not down on our defense," Mangino said. "I think our defense is really good. I just think that there is another level of play for them. They are not far off, though."
During the 2004 season, the KU defense did not allow any first-quarter touchdowns in all 11 games.
In the first game of the season this year, the Jayhawk defense allowed two 66-yard touchdown passes to Florida

things leading up to the big plays that we need to work on," Keith said. "Everybody knowing their assignments, not cheating on plays, and just being technique-sound. That's the stuff that leads to the big play."
Mangino said he would like to see improvement from his defense in forcing turnovers as well.
During the 2004 season, Kansas led the Big 12 Conference with 27 takeaways. The team also led the Conference with 19 interceptions.

Offense improves rushing blocking

The pleasant surprise in the running game comes thanks to one man — Jon Cornish. The
Cornish's performance Saturday night proved two things. One is that Cornish not only has bruising size, but tremendous speed as well. Second, he needs more carries and he needs them now.
So far this season the Kansas football team has improved in two vital aspects that were missing from the team last year — a balanced rushing attack and superb blocking from the offensive line.
running game one man junior running back has come out with a bang, averaging more than 10 yards per carry in his first two games.
Cornish's performance Saturday proves he has brusing size and tremendous speed, and that he needs more carries.
The running game couldn't have found more than 400 yards rushing in the first two games without the big fellas up front, though.
Jon Cornish needs to see the football more than 10 times, and he needs to carry the ball on first and second down. Clark Green is still a great receiving back to bring in on third down in the shorter yardage situations.
Matt Thompson, Jake Cox,
David Ochoa, Bob Whitaker
and Cesar Rodriguez have done
their jobs to near-perfection in
providing holes for the backs
and protection for the quarterbacks. If you saw some of the holes Cornish busted through Saturday, you would hope he took the whole line out to dinner. Senior quarterback Brian Luke has been sacked only three times.
But a guy who takes his opportunities with the football and scores three times on 10 carries is sending the coach a message. He's saying that he is ready to go.
It appears the Kansas football squad might be experiencing a baby version of what is happening to the Kansas City Chiefs. I say a "baby version" because Clark Green and Jon Cornish don't quite compare to Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson.
Look for Kansas to continue the rushing attack this Saturday against Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs' defense is coming off a shell-shocking 41-3 loss to the Florida Gators in the swamp.
Kansas fans have a lot to be excited about with this rushing game behind an experienced and improved line. Last season the Jayhawks gained more than 1,000 yards rushing. The 2005 squad could have more than half that total come Saturday night.

Seniors seek success
BY SAM CARLSON

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas softball team, led by six seniors, plans to build on last season's success after its first week of practice.
The veterans will lead the Jayhawks, and new faces will be expected to make a big impact on the team as well. Senior infielder Jessica Moppin, who received AllBig 12 honors last season, will be a vital component to the success of the program.
Moppin said the team was coming together, despite only having practiced together for one week.
"There's definitely room for improvement," she said. "But I think we look fundamentally sound right now."
Moppin said success at the plate would come later in the preseason practices. Not able to hit against live pitching during the summer makes it hard to adjust to the first practices, she said.
The softball team made it to the NCAA Regional last year, something it hadn't done in six years. The last time the Jayhawks made it to the regional tournament was 1999.
Moppin said having a taste of postseason success motivated the team to work toward the same goal. Senior outfielder Heather Stanley said the seniors this year were no strangers to leading the team.
"We had to step up last year and try to be leaders, so this year we actually know how to do it," she said.
Stanley was selected to the All-Big 12 First Team last season, along with senior infielder Destiny Frankenstein.
Stanley said she was impressed with the fresh players so far.
The team is further ahead than it was this time last year, and this year's freshmen are more advanced than previous freshman classes, she said.
The expectations are high for the five freshmen who will be making their Kansas softball debut this fall.
"They seem like they really want to be here and they want to work hard, and that's just what
we ask of them." Stanlev said.
Freshman third baseman Val Chapple and freshman pitcher Valerie George highlight the cast of newcomers. Both earned All-American honors in high school. Kansas' defense ranked 14th in the nation and second in the Big 12 last season. The team's .973 fielding percentage was the best in the history of the program.
"The team chemistry is awesome," Moppin said. "It's the best it has been since I've been here, and this is my senior year. There's no selfishness, and the team knows what needs to be done when it takes the field."
"The freshmen have a really good outlook on things, and we know how far we can go," she said.
Stanley said she also thought that the team had a strong bond, and that the freshmen fit in well with the program.
The Jayhawks will kick off the fall season when they play host to the Kansas Softball Invitational on Sept. 24 and 25.

Mangino said he would have a plan entering Saturday's game as to who he was going to use at quarterback.
He said the purpose of getting Herford experience was to prepare him and other backup quarterbacks for potential playing time in the future.
"Historically we have used a lot of quarterbacks here," Mangino said. "And we are not going to get caught in a position where we have to bring someone in at some point in time who is cold and has not had work on the field."

Herford said that he was prepared for whenever his time came and that he understood his role on the team.
"I was just ready to help the team any way I could," he said. "If it is at quarterback or if it is at receiver, it doesn't matter as long as I am helping the team out on the field."
Football Notes:
For the second consecutive week, coach Mark Mangino and the coaching staff named senior linebacker Nick Reid the defensive player of the week. Reid had 14 tackles last week and has

totaled 25 in the two games this season.
On the offensive side, the coaching staff selected junior running back Jon Cornish after he rushed for 103 yards on 10 carries and three touchdowns.
Cornish's three touchdowns were the most since former quarterback Bill Whittimore ran for three in 2002. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker was the special team's selection as he had four punts for an average of 46.8 yards.
Freshman linebacker Brandon Duncan, who joined the team late in the summer, was named the scout team defensive player of the week, while freshman running back Tang Bacheyie was named scout team offensive player of the week.

"I kind of equate it to the football version of 'Apollo 13.' We have a lot of different parts that we have to put together, so that we can have a successful quarterback position," Mangino said of the current quarterback situation.
"We hope there is never a situation where all 11 are injured on one play and you have to bring your second unit in. We would really feel bad if that happened," Mangiino said of the coaching staff's attempts to help reserve players progress.

Comic back to stand-up routine
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI - Dave Chappelle, who walked away from his hit TV series earlier this year, said working in front of smaller audiences is more his speed.
Chappelle, who sold out 10 shows at a northern Kentucky club, said doing standup is "like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people."
He played the Funny Bone Comedy Club at Newport on the Levee last week, a 325-seat club.
"Most people don't know what it's like to stand up there and speak their mind. I have a venue to do that. I get paid to do that," he told The Cincinnati Enquirer in yesterday's editions.
The comedian stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of the third season of his Comedy Central series, "Chappelle's Show."
He spent two weeks in South Africa before returning home to his 65-acre farm near Yellow Springs, about 75 miles northeast of Cincinnati.
"I like that particular kind of attention. People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you," Chappelle told the newspaper.
Chappelle has said he was unhappy with the direction of his show.
His decision triggered reports that he had mental or drug problems, which he denied.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2005: You easily could be a bit more down than you realize. This attitude could float through your expressions, causing others to react. Learn to eliminate what doesn't work for you. Radical changes could occur. As a result, you will change on a profound level, wanting different things and situations for yourself. Not every moment will be easy this year. Create more of what you want or dream of. If you are single, you might want to talk and get to know someone well before dating. If you are attached, understand that a change in the household might be necessary. Don't fight your sweetie.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Tonight: Bring others together.
★★★★ You can adjust a lot more easily than many today, because you keep your eye on the big picture. Still, you might feel like you are stretched to the max. A child or loved one could be touchy or a bit down
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You might be pushed beyond your limits at work. Of late, you have been grumpier than usual. Don't take your mood out on a partner, even if he or she is disagreeable. Learn to detach. Touch. Visit with an older relative.
**** Someone might do a reversal at the last minute. You could choose to be upset or disappointed. Take the high road and understand where this person is coming from. Communications could be brief. Tonight: Feed your mind some candy.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★★ You might need to reorganize your work or your day at the last minute. You need to spend more time or consult more frequently with a close associate. Together you'll come up with solutions. Tonight: Say
yes to a request.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Others run the show. What you think is a great idea, someone else puts down. This person doesn't mean to rain on your parade, but it might feel that way right now. Observe that you are developing a tendency to take others' actions and comments personally. Tonight: Do for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ The quality of your work makes a big difference. The problem lies in that someone close could be creating uproar and upsetting you deeply. You might not be able to focus. Think about what you need to do in order to feel better. Tonight: Soak away stress in a hot tub, or schedule a message.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★ You have ideas, especially when others get stuck. A friend might be very
serious. You might not be able to cheer this person up, but you can try. Avoid reversing your decisions, but be understanding if someone else does. Tonight: Act like a kid. Do only what you love.
★★★ Understand that a financial problem could stop you short. In fact, you might need to change plans. On some level, if you are honest with yourself, you might be happier. Avoid risking, please. Tonight: Soothe your soul.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You might be grumpy, though you feel it is with good reason. Someone has pushed you, and you might walk away from this situation -- forever. Your instincts tell you which way to go. Don't listen to hearsay. Tonight: Get together with a pal whom you can share all with.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ You need to let go and not worry so much. What you might have seen as a long-term issue could be manifesting. You cannot do anything about it. Take care of yourself and your finances. Make yourself No. 1. Tonight: Make sure an expense won't rock your budget.
★★★★ You are in prime shape to deal with today's hassles, which could range from a disappointment to a change in a friendship. Someone might be remote; you cannot change the way this person feels right now. Tonight: Do your thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★ Know when to hush up, even though you might be tempted to spill the beans in anger. The less said now, the better. You could feel uneasy or dragged down by work, a health matter or just an issue in your daily life. Tonight: Vanish.

Chiefs player cited in fight
BY BILL DRAPER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs running back Larry Johnson turned himself in to police Monday night after an altercation with his girlfriend early Saturday at a Kansas City bar.
Police department spokesman Darin Snapp said Johnson was cited for domestic abuse assault. Johnson posted bond and was released, with a court date set for Sept. 20 on the municipal charge.
Snapp said the incident began around 12:30 a.m. at The Drink, when Johnson's girlfriend came into the bar, where Johnson was with another woman. The 25-year-old girlfriend saw Johnson and walked the other way, Snapp said, but Johnson text messaged her and asked her to meet him downstairs.
Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said the incident would not affect Johnson's standing with the team. "We always assume our players are not guilty of any major problem until someone really clarifies it for us," he said.
The running back grabbed the woman by the arm and pulled
her to the front door, according to the police report, where Johnson asked the manager to make her leave. But since she had done nothing wrong, the manager said he couldn't kick her out, Snapp said.
Snapp said Johnson, 25, of Leawood, became irate after his girlfriend confronted his date. He grabbed his girlfriend by the shoulders and shoved her, causing her to fall onto the floor, the police report said.
The accusations come less than two years after Johnson entered a diversion program for an incident in which he allegedly brandished a gun during an argument with an ex-girlfriend at his Leawood home. He was charged in December 2003 with aggravated assault, a felony, and misdemeanor domestic battery.
The girlfriend told The Kansas City Star the police report was wrong. Snapp said she told police she didn't want Johnson arrested.
Under terms of the diversion, Johnson was required to do 120 hours of community service, attend an anger management course and avoid trouble for two years.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Faking it keeps future pleasure at bay
You thought you had it right,but you had it oh,oh,OOOOH! so wrong. Most women have
faked an orgasm in the bedroom at least once, according to a 2000 Orgasm Survey. Some women are habitual violators. But as guys are gradually catching on, is falsifying a dramatic end to a midnight rendezvous even worth it?
There are different reasons for a woman to fake it beneath the sheets. She could be uncomfortable physically or emotionally or she might just want to end the action as soon as possible.
At the beginning of a relationship things don't always mesh perfectly. Sometimes stretching the truth in the sack can help the relationship have an opportunity to evolve.
"With my ex-boyfriend, I faked it every time in the beginning. He seemed very inexperienced. Faking it made it easier so we could continue moving on in the relationship," Nicky Androes, Wichita senior, said.
Regardless of the situation, most women think their partner expects them to orgasm, so they feel obligated to do so, according to slate.msn.com. When she knows there is no way she is going to climax, she feels sympathetic and the need to act like she finished to spare his ego.
But do guys really care that much if the encounter ends with a finale? Not really. A misconception among women is that their partners think they should reach orgasm every time. Even though they wish for the best, most guys realize that a woman is not going to get off every time they hit the sack.
Women are less likely to fake it with someone they are in a committed relationship with. When in a relationship honesty is a better route.
Being truthful can leave room for improvement in the bedroom.
"Faking happens way too often. I believe the female is selling herself short. By faking an orgasm, she is not asking for the effort that is actually needed to get her off," Cal McConnell, Lawrence resident, said.
But if the hook up is merely a fling, like a one-night stand, guys say it doesn't phase them whether she fakes it or not.
"I really don't care if she fakes. If she wants to fake it to feel good about herself, more power to her. But if I care about her, I'd be kind of mad if she lied to me." Rusty Nelson, Omaha senior, said.
Guys are catching onto the little secret. Most say they can spot a fake out, according to the survey. It is easy to tell whether a woman is experiencing a real orgasm after having sex with a her on a regular basis.
All women show different signs of climaxing.
Common signs she's experiencing the real deal are having a full-body blush and blood rushing below the belt. Facial expressions can also be a sign.
"Well, your face probably looks a lot cuter when you fake it," said Jenni Zammit, Overland Park senior.
Doctor Jo Ramberg has been a sexologist since 1988 and she says communication is key to acquiring a breath-taking end to a midnight romp.
"Having to fake it means there is a lack of knowledge by both partners of how to stimulate each other to a climax," Doctor Ramberg said.
Sex is still pleasurable for a woman, even if she doesn't reach orgasm. Despite this, there are things you can do next time so she won't have to fake it.
Relax. Your partner can sense your nervousness and this can make situations
uncomfortable.
Don't leave out emotional gestures. Kissing is important and is often forgotten when action gets really intense.
Y ou know what they say:
Different strokes for different folks. This should be taken literally in the bedroom.
Different women get excited in different ways, so pay close attention to what feels good for her. Let her know you are open to being shown how it's done.
A mis conception among women is that their partners think they should reach orgasm every time. Even though they wish for the best, most guys realize that a woman is not going to get off every time they hit the sack.
Can the tables be turned?
Only on rare occasions do guys fake it. Yes, this is possible by acting like he just came, and then scurrying away.
And it's even easier if there is a condom invoiled. For guys, it's easy to admit that it's just not going to happen, especially when alcohol has been consumed. But they don't feel the need to portray a dramatic ending.
Bottom line: Ladies, keep it real. Guys, keep your ladies interested beneath the sheets.

Sex in a bunk bed
After 9 PM.

Residence hall romps prove tricky
A resident hall occupant's worst nightmare: Waking up to the sound of your roommate in the act. With hormones raging and newfound freedom, sex, among other things is a common occurrence in residence halls
Because there aren't any actual rules against sex in the residence halls, what happens behind closed doors is ultimately a discussion between roommates. Resident halls require their occupants to compile roommate agreements, which are signed pieces of paper saying that both roommates will abide by the rules—including those on visitors—they each set for the duration of the school
Excluding Gertrude Sellards Pearson, which doesn't allow male visitors past 11 p.m. during the school week, there aren't any rules against having opposite sex visitors in residence hall rooms.
the duration of the school year.
Residence halls require you to check in a guest who is spending the night, regardless of intents or purposes.
So, whether it be a visit from an out-of-state significant other, or just a fling, sex is inevitable.
Leslee Ransom,
Olathe sophmore, and resident assistant at Oliver
Hall said that there was no policy against having sex in the
residence halls and that it's just an agreement that one has with a roommate.
"It's disrespectful to your roommate," Ransom said. "But some people just can't help it."
Mindi Nichols, Ottawa graduate student, said she never had a problem with her roommates having sex.
"My roommates were good. But I'd probably be annoyed, especially if I was on the bottom bunk," she said.
Because there aren't any actual rules against sex in the residence halls, what happens behind closed doors is ultimately a discussion between roommates.
Residence halls require their occupants to compile roommate agreements, which are signed contracts saying that both roommates will abide by the rules — including those on visitors — they each set for the duration of the school year.
If the rules are breached it's up to the involved parties to decide how it should be dealt with.
If problems persist, the RA or housing staff can get involved, and in a worst-case scenario, the annoyed roommate can request a roommate change.
It would seem that not having sex in a residence hall while a roommate was there would be an unspoken agreement, but social courtesies aren't on everyone's minds.
Having sex in the residence halls can be considered ill-mannered, but some residents, including Chris Zammit, Overland Park freshman, have higher standards.
"Assuming I was going to have sex, I would in my dorm under specific conditions," she said. "My roommate is gone for a while and it's in my bed. I would assume my roommate wouldn't be screwing on my bed."
Still, some suggest finding out that your roommate is in mid-copulation mere feet away from you should be taken with a grain of salt.
"Being annoyed, awkward moments, those are a part of the dorm experience. It's what creates memories!" Nichols said.

Three ways to back up your buddy on the fly
I am going to try to help you conquer these obstacles. Here are step-by-step directions for three simple wing man maneuvers. These are designed to help your buddy seal the deal.
The wing man's friend has many titles. You can call

hurtly. You can him "The Go-To-Guy," or even "The Tank" if it tickles your fancy. With a name like "The Tank," though, he's probably better off sticking to the wing man role.
To avoid confu-
sion we will stick with a
simple title for the wing man's friend. He will be known as "Ucule Jesse."
The women have many names also, some of them offensive and unnecessary. This is no place for crude names, so we will call the target girl "D.J. Tanner."
As for the girlfriend who tries to break up the conversation and pull her girl away, we will refer to her as "Bob Saget." Now, let's enter the wing man playbook.
"The Intercept"
Uncle Jesse and his feathered mullet are lay-
D. J. and her acid-washed jeans. It may seem a little like incest, but whatever,DJ.'s hot. As Uncle Jesse and D.J.
nothings into each other's ears, the wing man spots Bob Saget on the prowl. Bob Saget is pacing around the bar, eyeing her friend. Like 1995, Bob Saget is everywhere.
As Bob Saget makes the move to her friend, the wing man intercepts
her and stops her
from reaching Uncle Jesse and D.J. At the point of interception, spark up conversation to keep the shifty Bob Saget at bay. Say something like.
"Do you think Mark Mangino will ever be on Celebrity Fit-Club?"
"Jumping on the Grenade."
Uncle Jesse and D.J. are trying to enjoy each other's company, but that damned Bob Saget is right in there with them, dominating the conversation with lame jokes and terrible voice-overs of home-videos, ruining the chances the two lovebirds will ever unite.
The wing man sees the disappointed and horny look on Uncle Jessie's face, and knows it's time to act. Like a soldier saving his platoon, he dives in headfirst to cover Bob Saget from exploding and ruining the potential hook-up. Now the wing man is face-to-face with the beast. He has to get rid of Bob Saget before she goes into a sentimental speech about the importance of family.
The best way to get rid of
P
a girl no one wants a r o u n d is to use as many bad pick-up lines a

Instructors and students steer clear of dating in class
It's 2:24 p.m. on the first Friday back from summer
1 Friday back from summer vacation. Most students are finished with their classes for the day, and are already planning for the weekend of debauchery that will commence once the sun hits the horizon (for some, even sooner).
But for students in a certain German class, there is at least

ass period standing between them and their highly-anticipated first weekend back in Lawrence.
With no instructor in sight, idle chatter fills the room, volleying between people slumped in their desks, passing by those no glassy-eyed by
the idea of weekend plans to notice.
Then the classroom door opens, and in steps the teacher. Sluggish movements become alert as wandering eyes focus on, and follow the woman who has just entered.
Sleek and tall, her curly blonde hair bounces at her shoulders as she makes her way to the front of the room.
A collective gasp escapes the guys as they swivel their heads and bodies to get a better look.
Grant Wagner, Bennington sophomore, is among them. Thoughts of the weekend ahead are temporarily forgotten as the
woman introduces herself in a genuine and endearing German accent, and class begins.
"Ever since the first day, I thought she was a very pretty woman." Wagner said.
He also said he's pretty sure the other guys in the class would agree with him. Her German accent is also very alluring, he said.
Wagner is not the only person who found his foreign language instructor attractive.
Zak Beasley, Kansas City, Mo., junior, can relate to Wagner's story.
For Beasley, it was the spring semester of his freshman year when he took French 120 and found out what it was like to be fascinated with a college instructor.
It could be a good thing, Beasley said. Even though he tries hard in all his classes, Beasley said that this could be an extra reason to pay attention and succeed.
"You want to impress them, so you try to do really well in their class." Beasley said.
When they're talking to you,
Beasley said, you're more focused on the fact that they are talking to you than on what they're actually saying to you.
Beasley said that although it's great having a pretty teacher, it can get in the way during class.
A GTA in the French department, who asked that her name not be used, recounted the times she was hit on by her students when she was teaching at another public university.
Two of her students, who happened to be in the same 100-level class, asked her out on dates. She declined both offers, she said, but would have possibly reconsidered if they had not been her students at the time.
The students behaved in class, she said, so it didn't really affect her ability to teach them.
"I tried not to pay attention or to favor them," she said.
She said she was also OK with becoming friends with her former students.
are no longer students, she said,
because while they're students,
hanging out outside the classroom could be considered favoritism.
"It's normal to develop a relationship with your students," she said, especially if the class is five days a week.
It's much better when they
There are those cases, however, when the roles are reversed.
Anna Schirer, Maize sophomore, said she remembered an incident she had with a professor last year.
She said she always felt like he was hitting on her, asking her if she wanted to go out for coffee.
in her final paper, he sent her an email saying that he wanted to discuss the paper — which he found excellent — with her over dinner.
Schirer said when she turned
"I knew this was a line because the paper was complete crap." Schier said.
He asked her out once more, saying that because finals were finished, she wouldn't be nearly as busy Again, she declined.
"I told myself that it was because he was my teacher, but
actually it might have been because he was going bald," Schirer said.
Schirer said she would probably not date a professor, and would only date a GTA after their semester together was finished.
"If it's meant to be, it can wait a semester." Schirer said.

Jessica Phan, Overland Park sophomore, smiled slyly as she remembered her philosophy teacher from fall 2004.
She said she remembered his Australian accent and amazing body, as well as his strong facial features and great confidence.
"The only reason I went to class was for him," Phan said.
She also said he was a good teacher for good measure.
Unlike the others, however, Phan said she would not have been apprehensive if he approached her.
"I would have gone out with him or started a relationship with him if he approached me in a heartbeat." Phan said.
She said the fact that he was a teacher did not discourage her. In fact, she said it made the situation more enticing.
"You always hear about people dating their TAs or teachers," Phan said. "It would be cool to say that I have."

percent of you have done it. And not just once either, but an average of 10 different times, according to an article published in the Journal of Sex Research in 2000. Research for the article was conducted at a state university with similar demographics to the University of Kansas.
I, too, am no stranger to hooking up. I am, of course, a gay man. Sometimes, however, these anonymous sexual encounters can leave us with more than we bargained for, and, no, I'm not referring to STDs (though these must be a concern), but rather a negative potpourri of emotions).
Hookups are most commonly found in one of three places. The first two are the two most likely venues: Bars or parties.
While some consciously go to bars and parties looking for sex, more people fall victim to their
intoxication through an increased libido and reduced inhibition, and end up going home with a virtual stranger.
RYAN KUSMIN
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
The bar/party hookup has two disadvantages. The first is that the hookup becomes common knowledge. The second is that there is an increased likelihood of unsafe sex.
I prefer the third hookup option, a relatively new phenomenon, hooking up via the Internet.
Whether it's through a site designed for anonymous encounters, a personals Web site or the ever-popular facebook.com, the Internet allows people looking for sex to hook up whenever and wherever they want. They can do it in the privacy of their own homes, without the glares of disapproving — or congratulatory — friends.
The Internet also has its disadvantages. There is always the risk that the person could be posing as something they're not, or, worse than that, the person could be a murderer or rapist. That danger is, however, a factor in any random hookup.
After the initial meeting, the deed is done, which can fall under a number of categories.
amazing, awkward or mundane. But I hope the goal of the hookup is achieved,and both people get off.
The problem for me, and I imagine many of you, is the thoughts that follow climax and continue for months and even years. They can include, but are not limited to: "I feel really dirty," "He's not nearly as cute as I remember him being," "I need to get the morning after pill," "What was I thinking?," "Why did I stoop to this?"
These thoughts can amount to remorse, regret and guilt. But why? Wasn't hooking up the goal all along?
I've got a hypothesis on why I, and probably many of you, feel this way.
I am not a Christian. I'm not even sure I believe in God, but the truth is I was raised in a society that instills Christian morals.
Those "moral" demonize sex out of wedlock (i.e. all sex for me), or even, a modern interpretation, sex out of a relationship.
So perhaps all my feelings of regret are a function of social conditioning even though I don't subscribe to the value system that condemns my actions. Pretty deep, huh?
There are some variations, but they all amount to the same thing: a regular hookup buddy, either
The good news is I think I have found a decent alternative to the completely random hookup.
a friend with benefits, an open relationship or a pure sex buddy.
I've personally found that the post-hookup feelings aren't as guilt-ridden when you know the person and spend a little time with them outside of the bedroom.
So next time you really enjoy the sex with a random hookup, ask that person if they want to do it again, leaving all that messy relationship stuff aside. And remember, always practice safe sex. That means more than just the pill, ladies.

Honors English students are quite enamored with Mary Klayder. While he accumulates that much love
While some speculate that such love stems from her fashion sense ("Have you seen those awesome scarves?") Kim Duensing, Blue Rapids junior, said), Klayder's cult following may have more to do with her love of reading and devotion to those under her guidance. The sense of humor helps too, no doubt.
Klayder received her bachelor's degree in English from the University of Kansas in 1972. This was followed by another bachelor's in education in 1975, a master's in English in 1981 and a doctorate in English in 1995.
A member of the faculty since 1980, she has been the recipient of Mortar Board's Outstanding Educator's Award five times: 1991, 1995, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Students under her supervision have received awards, including the Marshall and McNair scholarships.
"People tend to do best when they really are excited about what they're doing." Klayder said.
Obviously, to receive that many accolades, Klayder has to have done something right. Her secret revolves around inspiring enthusiasm among her students, to get them to think about what they want out of life.
Duensing, who first enrolled in one of Klayder's "Freshman Honors English" classes and her Freshman Honors Tutorial "So You Want to be a Writer, Huh?", enjoyed Klayder's teaching style so much that she went back for more. Duensing took Klayder's "Sophomore Honors Proseminar" class the next semester and participated in the London Review program a year later.
Klayder is program director for the London Review, a study abroad program in which students spend spring break in London and create a publication of reviews and essays about their stay.
Duensing recalled how Klayder comforted her in London during a moment of culture shock. Duensing, being from a small town, was overwhelmed by the city.
"Mary spent a long time in my hotel room, comforting me and promising me that everything would be OK because we were going to Oxford the next day, where I could see cows on the way in the countryside," Duensing said. "I just remember her saying 'I promise, you'll see cows tomorrow.'"
Emily Howard, Dodge City senior, also took "Freshman Honors English" with Klayer her freshman year. Howard still keeps in touch with Klayer.
"Her support extends beyond the English class, and beyond the professor/student relationship." Howard said. "I consider Professor Klayder a great mentor. She has helped me throughout my four years at KU, even though I'm not an English major."
Besides being involved in such activities as London Review, Klayder also participates in readings (such as Moby Dick and Ulysses on Massachusetts Street), advises the Center for Community Outreach, opens her home to English department parties, and judges poetry slams at scholarship halls.
"I think Lawrence is a really rich community," Klayder said of her involvement. "I'm a really interdisciplinary nature."
It's this kind of participation outside of the classroom that endears her to students.
Ku
"I know that whenever I have a problem, whether it's school-related or a personal relationship, Mary will be there," Duensing said. "She's encouraging, she's exciting, and she cares. That's huge."

Allen Fieldhouse is the hottest and most desired 50 year-old on the University of Kansas campus.
From the month of October when the Phog rolls in during Late Night clear through the madness of March, more than 16,000 Jayhawk faithfuls fill this historic building for basketball games to feel the power that it holds.
This season, the appeal during home basketball games will be hotter than ever when offseason modifications are revealed.
To a KU basketball fan, nothing is sexier than attending a game in the sweat-filled atmosphere of the Fieldhouse.
3
As the singing of the alma mater commences and the Rock Chalk chant shakes the rafters, goosebumps are known to rise to the surface of the skin of fans both young and old, just like a lover's delicate touch could elicit.
Chris Theisen, assistant athletics director for media relations, said changes included a new floor, lights, scoreboard and a new coat of paint to the bleachers.
Carlos Martinez, San Juan, Puerto Rico, sophomore, is one of the many die-hard KU basketball fans who attended home games last season.
The appeal of Allen Fieldhouse is important to Martinez, but he doesn't think the renovations will change the atmosphere.
She is excited about the traditions upperclassmen have told her about.
Jasmine Walthall, Texarkana, Texas, freshman, will step into the Fieldhouse to experience her first home basketball game later this semester.
"The bonding and that everyone is pumped up and energized," Walthall said. "Beware of the Phog. The noise. I heard you will be deaf when you leave."
When it really comes down to it, the renovations to Allen Fieldhouse will not change the sex appeal and history the
building holds for students, alumni and fans
The building is a special place to most everyone who has experienced a game on Naismith Drive, and they will always take at least one special item away from it.
"I think it's like Dickie V. put it. Since the KU Jayhawk tradition is one of the best in all sports, it's the sign that reads 'Pay heed all who enter: Beware of the Phog!'" Martinez said. "And the fact that everyone who comes in knows they will be facing a hostile territory and traditional Jayhawk fans. We are tradition makers."

KU INFO
Until recent years, students have had a place to turn when they needed the answers to life's most important rules.
KU Info, still desirable after all these years, has changed as it has matured. When Alisha Ashley, Halstead senior, and Molly Tucker, Prairie Village senior, came to the University of Kansas they soon learned of the informational service, which they found helpful for adjusting to the city.
tions. Whether they wanted to know the number of dimples on a regulation golf ball or the number to the rape crisis center, KU Info came to the rescue.
As a freshman, Tucker called KU info to help her find the room number for his final exam.
"I was looking for my calculus final and realized the room number didn't exist," she said. "Then I remembered the number that my resident assistant had given me 'to call in an emergency'; I called and the guy located the correct building and room number for me."
Today, KU Info is no longer the omniscient service Ashley and Tucker once relied on to tell them the number of trees on campus or the distance between Paris,Texas. and Paris, France. While the service remains available, it no longer assists with non-academic queries.
Last year, University administrators decided the program was excessive and proceeded to make changes to the service, beginning with employees
With the significantly reduced number of calls, the University looks to employ a larger, less-trained staff who will have to divide its time between phone calls and performing other duties within their respective departments. Because the larger staff will receive only cursory training on the University, many calls will have to be redirected to other departments. In its prime, KUInfo operated using a staff of 12, with two phones, two computers, and limited office space for reference materials. The team of workers was carefully selected, knowledgeable students whose specific purpose was to answer calls.
no longer being allowed to answer non-academic questions.
In Fall 2003, Ashley and Tucker began working for KU Info and experienced the changes first hand. Tucker thought the employees prided themselves on their precise and accurate answers.
The two watched as the service evolved, but after the administration limited KU Info's scope to academic information, they quit.
"There's nothing more frustrating for me than explaining to someone on the phone that I could answer their question very easily, but I'm not allowed to because the information service only gives out certain kinds of information," Ashley said.
Now, the girls say, they are working to restore KU info to its former glory.
After meeting with the vice-provocats in charge of the changes, the two realized that raising student
awareness would be the only way to save the program.
"All they could tell us was that KU Info was going to change?" Tuker said. "But they gave no real timeline or concrete sketch of what it would look like. They even mentioned changing the name, which boggled our minds."
The two are currently collecting signatures to demonstrate to administrators that the service is desired in the minds of the students and alumni. With the petition, the two hope to gather support from campus organizations and find the minimal funding needed to restore the hot line.
- Edited by Alison Peterson
"Our ideal situation would be making KU Info student-run, cheap and completely comprehensive," Tucker said. "We don't want to have to fight our managers any longer about what we can and can't answer."
Those interested in helping with this cause can sign the petition available at Mrs. E's, the Student Recreation Fitness Center, downtown businesses, or online at www.petitiononline.com/kuinfo/petition.html.
"When we ask upperclassmen if they'll sign our petition they say 'Yeah sure! Why are they trying to change KU Info?' Freshman say 'kU What?' That's really sad for us, because they're the ones who could have benefited most from the program and now they have no idea what they're missing." Tucker said.

What was considered dangerous and taboo during our high school years is now thought of as friendly, fun and far less intimidating than before.
Students agree that facebook com's "college-only" (and just recently "high school-only") environment is more appealing and creates a sense of security that other dating services cannot offer.
Internet dating through every public university's new hotbed for hookups, www.facebook.com is as common as text messaging during class. But what makes facebook.com different from participating in a singles chatroom or placing a persons ad in a newspaper?
The couple decided to wait until they met in person and could really interact with each other before making anything official. Move-in day happened to be the day when Cunningham and Anderson crossed paths.
"Abby was literally two people behind me when I was moving in. We really just wanted to get moved in before anything else, though," Anderson said.
stretched to include exchanging personal information such as relationship status and sexual and romantic preferences. Though this information may seem harmless at first glance, it can make the user a vulnerable target for unwanted messages and flirtations.
Abby Cunningham, Silver Lake freshman, found her boyfriend, Spencer Anderson, Overland Park freshman, through facebook.com freshman, through the summer. She did a random search for people who would be living in McCollum Hall during the fall.
The couple has been together since the beginning of the semester, and they have found their relationship to be a positive aspect of their lives.
"People don't really care or make a big deal out of us meeting on facebook. It's pretty standard," Anderson said.
Elizabeth, St.
Louis sophomore, who asked
that her last name
not be used, received a message
from a random
"I was interested in meeting new people in my dorm. I wasn't really looking for anybody. I was just browsing through the pictures and then I clicked on his profile," she said. "We had a lot of the same interests, especially in music, so we just messaged back and forth for a little over a month before coming to KU."
sire to approach her, though he never did. At the time Elizabeth had her room number listed on her profile. Red flags went up, and she reported the incident to her resident assistant.
Although facebook.com opens a line of communication among college students, the initial purpose of the Web site has
"I was advised to eliminate myself from facebook and was told that this wasn't unusual, because Student Housing had dealt with other incidents involving facebook." she said.

Meeting potential mates through facebook.com has removed almost every chance of rejection. The instant gratification of messaging or "poking" someone on facebook.com cuts out the awkward first conversations and dead silences. Humiliation hardly exists in the online community, because the chances of actually running into the person who didn't reply to your advances are slim.

The user continued to message her and told her of his de-
user who complimented her on how attractive she was after he had seen her earlier that day. The two lived in the same residence hall.
"I had never seen him before, and he would say things to me and then describe what I was wearing that day," Elizabeth said. "I responded politely and figured he wouldn't bother me anymore since I didn't show any interest."

over, she logged back in and within a week's time the same user began to message her again.
Instead of removing her profile again, Elizabeth told her new boyfriend (whom she did not meet on facebook.com) about the matter, and he intervened.

Even though this incident occurred, Elizabeth continues to use facebook.com, though not for dating, and is more careful about what she lets other users see.
"I don't have any contact information listed on my profile. It's still a great way to communicate with people from out of town and at school. I'd rather facebook a message to somebody than e-mail them."

With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder
Please send your questions to bitch@kansan.com
?
Q. My girlfriend is gaining weight rapidly. She's not depressed, she's just getting fat. How can I help her out? All she wants to do is go out to eat or go out for ice cream.
- Cooper, junior
Jessica: How kind of you to notice her slowing metabolism. Perhaps you should use that observant nature of yours to focus on what she does have going for her: For one thing, she's not depriving herself of food like so many other college girls. If you genuinely want to help her out, mention you think your beer belly's growing at a rate you're not proud of and that you'd like to have a workout buddy — namely her — to help you along. To deter her from wanting to eat out so much, you can always earn boyfriend points by packing picnics with healthy food to bypass the caloric overload of eating out.
Brian: While Jessica's gym buddy suggestion is a great idea,
it might cause you more harm than good if she realizes your intentions. You need to take a step back and decide something: Are you noticing her weight gain because you like her skinny or because you are worried for her health? If it's the first, then you should probably not be in the relationship at all. But if you are really worried about her then you should realize that maybe this is just a stage because she is feeling a lot of stress in school or some problems at home. Don't just trivialize the matter. There might be something more than just a recent craving for all foods fatty. Another idea: She might have a bun cooking in her oven. You might consider buying a kit to see if she's actually eating for two.
?
Q. I had a one-night stand with this out-of-town guy 3 years ago and I recently reunited with him. How do I tell him I'd like to try it again sometime? Manica, senior
- Monica, senior
Jessica: I think you should write him an email. Say, "Dear Blah, Remember how easy I was three years ago? Well, I'm still that easy...and lonely too now. If you haven't moved on and matured past our one-night of kinky bliss, wanna try for round 2? XOXO, The Forgotten One-Nighter."
As harsh as it sounds, let sleeping dogs lie and find someone in your own town to bink. They call them ONE-night stands for good reason. Anything more would constitute a buddy-ship, which isn't best-suited for long distance unless it's a summer fling you go back to each year.
Brian: It's simple. Don't tell him you want to try it again. Just hang out with him, hit on him big time, invite him back to your place, and voila, your one-night stand becomes a two-night stand. Either that, or go get a real boyfriend. They are much more fun. They actually care about you and they can service your needs at any and all times
?
Q. Lately, my girlfriend and I have been having a way above average amount of sex and I don't see an end in sight. Have I become addicted to sex, or am I just experiencing a really high sex drive? Is there a difference?
- Steven, sophomore
Brian: Yes Steven, there is a difference. When you're addicted to sex, you'll do anything to get off whether you are actually horny or not. When you have a really high sex drive, you just want to have sex all the time. Everyone's sex drive increases and decreases, you two have been blessed that you happen to be on the same schedule. Don't
ask questions; just find some way to get up to Sam's Club in Lenexa. They have 40 packs of condoms there for dirt cheap. You might consider buying two boxes, just so you know you have a few spares laying around in every room of both of your houses.
Jessica: You're both nymphomaniacs. You better check both of yourselves in before it's too late and your naughty parts fall off. Really, I think it's perfectly fine that you've experienced a fluctuation in both of your sex appetites. That's pretty lucky, but if your over sexing prevents you from getting to work or class on time, or you've lost sight of the relationship and the feelings behind your lovemaking, then you should probably take a step back and limit yourselves to maybe once or twice...an hour.

Internet dating through every public university's new hotbed for hookups, www.facebook.com is as common as text messaging during class. But what makes facebook.com different from participating in a singles chatroom or placing a personal ads in a newspaper?
Students agree that facebook.com's "college-only" (and just recently "high school-only") environment is more appealing and creates a sense of security that other dating services cannot offer.
The couple decided to wait until they met in person and could really interact with each other before making anything official. Move-in day happened to be the day when Cunningham and Anderson crossed paths.
"Abby was literally two people behind me when I was moving in. We really just wanted to get moved in before anything else, though." Anderson said.
The couple has been together since the beginning of the semester, and they have found their relationship to be a positive aspect of their lives.
stretched to include exchanging personal information such as relationship status and sexual and romantic preferences. Though this information may seem harmless at first glance, it can make the user a vulnerable target to unwanted messages and flirtations.
Abby Cunningham, Silver Lake freshman, found her boyfriend, Spencer Anderson, Overland Park freshman, through facebook.com during the summer. She did a random search for people who would be living in McCollum Hall during the fall.
Elizabeth, St. Louis sophomore, who asked that her last name not be used, received a message from a random
"People don't really care or make a big deal out of us meeting on facebook. It's pretty standard." Anderson said.
ire to approach her, though he never did. At the time Elizabeth had her room number listed on her profile. Red flags went up, and she reported the incident to her resident assistant.
"I was interested in meeting new people in my dorm. I wasn't really looking for anybody. I was just browsing through the pictures and then I clicked on his profile," she said. "We had a lot of the same interests, especially in music, so we just messaged back and forth for a little over a month before coming to KU."
Although facebook.com opens a line of communication among college students, the initial purpose of the Web site has
"I was advised to eliminate myself from facebook and was told that this wasn't unusual, because Student Housing had dealt with other incidents involving facebook," she said.
Meeting potential mates through facebook.com has removed almost every chance of rejection. The instant gratification of messaging or "poking" someone on facebook.com cuts out the awkward first conversations and dead silences. Humiliation hardly exists in the online community, because the chances of actually running into the person who didn't reply to your advances are slim.

PETER MAYER
With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder
Please send your questions to bitch@kansan.com
?
Q. My girlfriend is gaining weight rapidly. She's not depressed, she's just getting fat. How can I help her out? All she wants to do is go out to eat or go out for ice cream.
- Cooper, junior
Jessica: How kind of you to notice her slowing metabolism. Perhaps you should use that observant nature of yours to focus on what she does have going for her: For one thing, she's not depriving herself of food like so many other college girls. If you genuinely want to help her out, mention you think your beer belly's growing at a rate you're not proud of and that you'd like to have a workout buddy — namely her — to help you along. To deter her from wanting to eat out so much, you can always earn boyfriend points by packing picnics with healthy food to bypass the caloric overload of eating out.
Brian: While Jessica's gym buddy suggestion is a great idea,
it might cause you more harm than good if she realizes your intentions. You need to take a step back and decide something: Are you noticing her weight gain because you like her skinny or because you are worried for her health? If it's the first, then you should probably not be in the relationship at all. But if you are really worried about her then you should realize that maybe this is just a stage because she is feeling a lot of stress in school or some problems at home. Don't just trivialize the matter. There might be something more than just a recent craving for all foods fatty. Another idea: She might have a bun cooking in her oven. You might consider buying a kit to see if she's actually eating for two.
Q. I had a one-night stand with this out-of-town guy 3 years ago and I recently reunited with him. How do I tell him I'd like to try it again sometime?
?
- Monica, senior
Jessica: I think you should write him an email. Say, "Dear Blah, Remember how easy I was three years ago? Well, I'm still that easy... and lonely too now. If you haven't moved on and matured past our one-night of kinky bliss, wanna try for round 2? 6X0, The Forgotten One-Nighter."
As harsh as it sounds, let sleeping dogs lie and find someone in your own town to boink. They call them ONE-night stands for good reason. Anything more would constitute a buddy-ship, which isn't best-suited for long distance unless it's a summer fling you go back to each year.
Brian: It's simple. Don't tell him you want to try it again. Just hang out with him, hit on him big time, invite him back to your place, and voila, your one-night stand becomes a two-night stand. Either that, or go get a real boyfriend. They are much more fun. They actually care about you and they can service your needs at any and all times
Q. Lately, my girlfriend and I have been having a way above average amount of sex and I don't see an end in sight. Have I become addicted to sex, or am I just experiencing a really high sex drive? Is there a difference?
- Steven, sophomore
Brian: Yes Steven, there is a difference. When you're addicted to sex, you'll do anything to get off whether you are actually horny or not. When you have a really high sex drive, you just want to have sex all the time. Everyone's sex drive increases and decreases, you two have been blessed that you happen to be on the same schedule. Don't
ask questions; just find some way to get up to Sam's Club in Lenexa. They have 40 packs of condoms there for dirt cheap. You might consider buying two boxes, just so you know you have a few spares laying around in every room of both of your houses.
Jessica: You're both nymphomaniacs. You better check both of yourselves in before it's too late and your naughty parts fall off. Really, I think it's perfectly fine that you've experienced a fluctuation in both of your sex appetites. That's pretty lucky, but if your over sexing prevents you from getting to work or class on time, or you've lost sight of the relationship and the feelings behind your lovemaking, then you should probably take a step back and limit yourselves to maybe once or twice...an hour.

guy to get laid" category to the "make sure you stop at the gas station for condoms" category. This move involves stretching truths about your friend to make him seem, how shall we put this, more doable.
The trick with the resume builder is to remain convincing.
If you lose believability, then your friend will be loneliest than Tom Hanks in that movie where he was cast-away from that plane and he had to live on that island all cast-away and alone. I forgot the name.
If you bust out saying that your friend is a congressman, you're going to get shot down quicker than the ducks in the first level of Duck Hunt. You remember, right? The level before you had to get all close to the screen with the gun?
Part of remaining believable is picking the correct mark. Don't walk up to the girl reading Dostoevsky and try to convince her that your pal wrote a best-selling novel. It's not going to fly.
Instead, pick the girl who's smoking with a cancer-research bracelet on.
She won't have much going on upstairs, and will believe that your friend once saved a school bus full of children.
Anyway, when lying to girls about how awesome your friend is, stick to vague lies with difficult to verify details. For example, say, "Oh, yeah my buddy, Eric, is going to law school. He got a 758 on his LTS's. That score is, like, totally amazing."
See, if you've picked the correct mark, there's no way that they can tell what the LTS is, but it sounds impressive, doesn't it?
They are difficult to believe and not that impressive anwav. I know from experience.
So, in conclusion, remain believable, pick an easy mark and steer clear of lies involving bodily functions.
The knowledge is yours now. Use it. I do not want to see another man left behind, kicking and punching to fend off the onslaught. Stand up for your friend. Don't be afraid of all the Bob Sagets out there.

Virginity: a journey for some students
Sexual urges ultimately controllable
He reaches for a copy of a small, pale-blue book that resides in his backpack. The title, "And You Are Christ's," is
The title, "And You Are Christ's," is essentially the only decoration on the cover. Following him to class and across the campus, this book is a reminder to José Vitteri why he has decided to abstain from sex.
Vitteri, Lima, Peru, senior has committed to himself and to God to stay a virgin until the day he marries. Vitteri admits that his commitment to chastity is not always an easy path, but says his determination to stay pure has helped him grow and become a stronger person.
"Men have an instinct that is an attraction for women. When you choose to remain a virgin until marriage you are choosing purity over your own instincts. You do not grow in virtue if you do not have a challenge." Vitteri said.
Photo Illustration by Candice Rukes
Controlling his instincts helps him control other aspects of his life. Vitteri said.
Vitteri is in the minority of college students who have chosen to remain celibate until marriage. According to a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 80 percent of undergraduate college students admit to engaging in sexual activities before marriage.
Troy Hinkel, director of theological education at St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, spends much of his time counseling young adults who are struggling with decisions regarding sexuality. Hinkel cites the problems he sees from individuals who engage in premarital sex.
"Transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies are the obvious negative effects, but I also see the individuals dealing with the emotional and psychological effects of sexual promiscuity." Hinkel said. "I see low self-esteem, a deeper sense of loneliness and an estrangement from God and friends."
There are often trust and esteem issues as well, Hinkel said.
Intimacy and love in a relationship are not merely gained by sex, Hinkel said. There are many, deeper ways individuals can bond in a relationship, other than through sexual relations, he said.
"Sex reduces the human to urges. It reduces our nobility. We want to be loved and not used and through merely being used for sex, we create a reductionistic approach to humanity." Hinkle said.
Vitteri said that flagra displays of pre-marital sex in the media caused students to believe that college and adult life was not complete without sex.
Vitteri is in the minority of college students who have chosen to remain celibate until marriage. According to a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 80 percent of undergraduate college students admit to engaging in sexual activities before marriage.
"All human beings are looking for love. The most important part of human happiness is love," Vitteri said. "When you surround yourself by like minded people you are able to hold yourself accountable for your actions."

STUDENT SENATE
Mascot policy recommended
Senate says no to 'visual violence'
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate unanimously passed a resolution to ask the University not to schedule athletic events with schools that have mascots the NCAA deems offensive.
After hearing 12 speakers, including senators, professors and students in favor of the resolution, speak for about an hour, the senate chose to pass the resolution by acclimation.
Acclamation is a process in which the senate chooses not to vote because all senators support the resolution.
Jim Marchiony, associate
atletics director, said the decision about the scheduling policy would be the University's, not the athletics department's.
He said the department would discuss it with the University, but that it wasn't an athletics issue.
Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior, said if the University adopted the resolution, it would be the first to do so since the NCAA adopted its policy.
That policy would help show the University's support of diversity and of other cultures, Craig said.
Michael Yellow Bird, professor and chairman of the department of indigenous studies, spoke in favor of the resolution.
Native American mascots have become institutionalized, unlike other ethnic groups, Yellow Bird said.
Jason Lewis, a graduate student from Los Angeles and member of the Chocktaw tribe, said it was exciting to think that students would support a policy like this.
Lewis said Native American mascots are "visual violence."
"Students have the power in their hands to change University
policy," Lewis said.
Although some may think the mascots are not offensive, Lewis said he knew the hurt the mascots bring to indigenous peoples.
"It's not an honor being a mascot." Lewis said.
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee sophomore and First Nations student associate senator, said he thought discussing and passing the resolution was a great step for the University.
He said it was up to senators to take dialogue about the issue to the athletics department.
The resolution read that Student Senate "supports the adoption of a policy by the KU Athletics Department which would prohibit the scheduling of athletic competitions with schools who are in violation with the ban."
In other business, the senate also voted to have polling sites for next spring's elections at Wesco Beach and Mrs. E's dining center on Daisy Hill.

Hooked on 'roids
By Liz Beggs
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Brandon stood in the Olathe bar where he works as a bouncer, his back against the wall, arms crossed; his body language begging someone to start some trouble. His black T-shirt stretched tight over his biceps.
He didn't come by his rally. Good genes took him only. Don, a Lawrence resident, it took hours of lifting weights.
It also took a lot of steroids.
Brandon, who asked that his last name not be used in a story about illegal steroid abuse, has cycled on and off testosterone, dianabol, sustanon, deca-durabolin, anadrol and an anti-estrogen, all in an attempt to gain muscle mass and strength. He likes what they do for his strength and physique. He's not alone.
More than 300,000 high school students reported taking steroids last year according to a study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. While that number can't compare to the number of users of marijuana and alcohol, anabolic steroids have become a growing concern for health officials.
It's a problem for KU students too.
In a random e-mail survey sent out to more than 200 male KU students, 2 percent reported they are currently taking steroids, 6 percent said they had used them in the past and about 53 percent said they knew someone who had taken an anabolic steroid in the past or was currently using them.
But it's been the athletes who have received all the attention.
This past year no athlete has been free from society's skeptical eye. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and even Roy Jones Jr. have all been scrutinized for their possible steroid abuse.
But while Congress and sports teams face on removing anabolic steroids from rooms, the everyday user swallows his body image and fit the male stereotype.
Ironically, with all of the focus on the small percentage more than a million of these everyday steroid abusers go unnoticed by law enforcement.

What do you THINK?
BY MEGAN PENROD
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Do you think the University's policies on hazing are too strict?
"I think to a certain extent that they are, but I think if they are applied fairly to all the houses, they know what is expected of them."
]
-Alicia Stuart, Shawnee, senior
"I think it should take place actually. Not like hard-core hazing, but the level of it is part of the whole deal for joining the frat and whatever, you know. I think initiation is a good thing. I don't like extreme hazing, but KU should allow some hazing."
PLEASE ADD YOUR TEXT HERE
-Derek Tokarz, Chicago sophomore
"I think that it's a good thing because I know some sororites and fraternities do get kind of crazy, and I think that KU has done a good job with what they've done in the past and now."
-Heather Morton, WaKeeney freshman
PETER ROSNER
"It sucks that people screw things up like that because not all hazing is that bad. I guess I'm indifferent about it, and I think that some hazing goes way too far and you shouldn't punish everyone for one person's mistake. I think some hazing should be allowed because it's part of the system, and it kind of teaches the freshmen they're the bottom of the barrel. With stuff like that it should be the individual people who are punished — not the entire fraternity."
-Jenna Purinton, Overland Park junior
ALEXANDRA COLEMAN
"Aren't there like different levels of hazing? They don't always beat up the freshmen. I think that hazing isn't right, but to a certain extent it can be OK. I mean, you shouldn't be hurting your pledges and stuff like that, so I don't think it's right."
-Ryan Easter, Springfield, Mo., freshman

A fire outside Hashinger Hall yesterday morning caused a traffic jam in surrounding streets and temporarily stopped reconstruction work on the building.
There was no damage to the building and no injuries were reported, Lexie Engleman, of the Lawrence Fire Department, said.
"We tried to put it out with a garden hose at first, but it was too wide around and we did not have enough pressure to put it out," Brian Mueting, superintendent for Murray and Sons, said.
The fire started as construction workers from Murray and Sons Construction Company tried to remove an air-conditioning unit that was no longer in use.
After receiving the report, local firefighters rushed to the scene to extinguish the fire. The building was evacuated and construction workers were told to wait outside.
"You could see a lot of heavy smoke on the east side of the building. We found out that it was contained to the AC unit," Engleman said. "It did not go inside the building."
tained, traffic in the streets surrounding Hashinger backed up, causing a traffic jam.
While the fire was being con-
Jessica Martinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said the buses had to be re-routed.
"They could not go across Engel and 15th, so they were redirected to go around the Lied Center and then back to campus. They were a few minutes off of schedule." Martinger said.
"I was standing outside of McCollum Hall waiting for the bus and I saw a bunch of smoke billowing and I thought it was a fire. I was definitely worried about getting to class on time," Carolyn Coyle, St. Louis freshman, said.
Students said they were not expecting the chaos that surrounded their usual bus stop.
According to construction workers, the incident will not delay construction on Hashinger.
"It was not a very big deal. It was more of an unscheduled break." Matt McPherson, a foreman for Murray and Sons, said.
After the fire was extinguished, firefighters searched Hashinger for traces of carbon dioxide and then allowed the construction crew to return.

University inks printing relationships

KU employees are still adjusting to life without KU Printing Services as the University continues to work out the kinks in a new system of private vendors.
"I guess we didn't realize how much they really did," said Dorice Elliott, chairwoman of the English department.
Since 1902, KU Printing Services handled printing duties big and small, including supplying business cards and stationery and producing glossy law school brochures and professors' textbooks.
The service closed in the spring and most of its work was outsourced. The University is still finalizing contracts with vendors it is using now.
Barry Swanson, associate comptroller and director of purchasing, said he expected to complete contracts with FedEx Kinko's and other vendors as soon as next week. A FedEx Kinko's is tentatively scheduled to open in the Kansas Union by late October, he said.
Swanson said University departments now go directly to private printers for jobs under $5,000, and vendors bid on jobs that cost more. Robin Miller, administrative assistant for the School of Law, said she had been using Printing Solutions for envelopes, business cards and stationary. She said the company had been doing a good job, but she hadn't had many major transactions with outside vendors yet.
partment recently had newsletters produced, FedEx Kinko's made the copies, ProPrint affixed the labels and a third vendor mailed them.
Elliott said going through multiple vendors wasn't always easy. She said that when the English de-
"We're still able to do everything we want to do, and sometimes it's cheaper this way," she said. "But it certainly less convenient."
Off-campus bookstores complained this semester about being unable to sell course-pack bundles
unless to send course pack burials — notes, textbooks and other materials put together by professors. In the past they ordered some of the materials from KU Printing Services. Now they must find other ways to produce course packs.
Kristin Vickers, store manager of University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., said that next semester she planed to get original manuscripts from either professors or KU Bookstores and hire a printer to produce them.
KU Printing Services had responsibilities other than printing. It also sorted federal mail and delivered campus mail, which is sent between people on campus. Now an outside vendor sorts federal mail and KU Libraries delivers campus mail, said Stan Waller, library transportation coordinator.
Swanson said replacing KU Printing Services hasn't been easy because of its size and reach. He said the University was continuing to make changes to the new system.
"It's a transition time, and things will not be perfect in that time," he said. "I like to hear the comments. I need to hear the comments, and as they come in we'll address them."

School of Medicine celebrates centennial at alumni event
The University of Kansas School of Medicine will celebrate its centennial anniversary Saturday in conjunction with the school's annual alumni weekend at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Missy Heidrick, senior coordinator for alumni relations, said the weekend would focus on alumni reunions.
"It's a big celebration night with cocktails, dinner, dancing and a program to honor our award recipients". Heidrick said.
Seven alumni, two faculty members and two retired faculty members will be given awards.
Heidrick said the award recipients were nominated by individuals outside the school, reviewed by a committee, then voted on by the alumni association and the nursing, medical and allied health alumni boards.
The School of Medicine celebrates the alumni weekend annually, but Heidrick said this year would be the largest alumni celebration the school has ever had.
She said more than 800 alumni and University friends were expected to attend.
She said there has been more interest because the school also is celebrating its centennial anniversary.

Mopeds cheap rides
TRANSPORTATION
As gas prices rise, students try out scooters to cut costs

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Although students with cars may pay more than $30 to fill their gas tanks, Heather Wertz spends only $3 at the pump.
The Topeka junior is one of the growing number of students who have turned to mopeds as a main source of transportation. Students say they buy mopeds because of their convenience and good gas mileage. But they say it's important understand how to use them safely.
Marta Vicente, assistant professor of women's studies and history, drives her moped from her normal parking spot at Wescoe to Jayhawk Boulevard. Vicente said it is convenient to have a moped because she is able to park next to Wescoe and Bailey, the buildings where she teaches.
Wertz has owned a moped for three years and uses it go to work and school.
Getting to campus takes her five minutes, and a tank of gas will last her a week and a half to two weeks.
"It's so much better for the environment and so much cheaper. It's great to just cruise around on it," she said.
She said having access to campus and the ability to drive up to buildings such as Wescoe Hall make owning a scooter a great form of transportation.
"In a city like Lawrence it's perfect," she said.
The parking department has noticed an increase in moped use and other forms of transportation.
Donna Hultine, parking department director, said the parking department has issued 68 moped permits this year compared to the 57 issued by this time last year. The total number of permits for motorcycles has increased to 150 from 125.
Tom Dierker of Subsonic Scootters said the past few weeks have been the busiest in three years for business. On average the store sells three to four scooters a week. In the past week it has sold 10.
Dierker said the main reason people are turning to mopeds is the recent increase in gas prices.
Mopeds require little maintenance,

On a recent trip to Europe, Mike Nichols, Anthony law student, saw how the locals relied on mopeds. This led him to buy a moped from his friend.
and their fuel mileage can range from 80 to 120 miles per gallon.
"It kind of got me thinking about maybe how it would be as your primary mode of transportation because it seemed popular to them," he said.
Mopeds can be fun to ride, but they can also be dangerous, as Andy Ippel, Overland Park sophomore, discovered.
Ippel was involved in an accident in front of Lewis Hall last year. He flew over the handlebars when a car clipped his moped.
In Kansas, moped riders are not required to wear helmets, and Ippel was not wearing one at the time.
Although he escaped the accident without major injury, people need to realize mopeds can be dangerous, he said.
But the risks moped riders face don't keep them from enjoying their vehicles.
"I like rolling around on a two-wheel vehicle that's got power," Robbie Gerling, Lake Quivira junior, said.

BOARD OF REGENTS
Biennial visit made
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN SLFE WRITE
The nine members of the Kansas Board of Regents paid their biennial visit to the University of Kansas on Tuesday.
The Board of Regents governs the six state universities in Kansas. It also coordinates the community colleges, technical schools and colleges and a municipal university.
The regents visit three of the six state universities each year.
Their next visit will be to Wichita State University in October, and in April they will
visit Pittsburg State University. Reginald Robinson president and CEO of the Board of Regents, said it made sense to visit each campus regularly to meet with the chancellor and students. He said it was also a good idea to "get the pulse of the place."
"One of the things we love to do as regents is interact with students." Robinson said.
Robinson said there seemed to be two themes to the regents' visit. One was making the University more international and the other was emphasizing research projects for every student. The regents first attended a presentation featuring Diana
Carlin, dean of international programs.
They had lunch with students who studied abroad following the presentation.
Robinson said this made it easier to understand the tremendous effect research can have.
The regents then visited the School of Engineering where they observed research project presentations by engineering students.
"It's more powerful to talk to students who have been impacted with these experiences," he said.

The three newest appointees to the Board of Regents visited the University of Kansas on Tuesday, and, after an appointment process, may soon be making decisions on University policy.
Christine Downey-Schmidt, Dan Lykins and Janie Perkins were appointed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius last month. The next step in the Regents' appointment process is approval by a committee, which will probably happen late this month or early next month, said Kip Peterson, director of government
relations and communications for the Regents.
The final step will happen in January, when the state legislature approve the appointees and officially give them the title of regents.
Nicole Corcoran, press secretary for the governor, said, "We've spent a lot of time finding potential regents with strong qualifications and diverse backgrounds." Each of the appointees had a different background, but they all had ties to public education. Corcoran said.
Downey-Schmidt is a former state senator who has experience with educational legislation. Lykins practiced law and worked on cases dealing with

The orientation for the newly appointed regents occurred a couple of weeks ago, Peterson said. The purpose was to inform them of their role in the state as well as on the issues at hand.

SOME KEY FACTS
The negative side effects of steroid abuse, such as acne, gynecistic mastite, hair loss and liver failure deter some people from trying differ ent anabolic steroids. These side effects mar the individual's much desired chiseled image and could pose serious health problems.
STEROID USE
Ache
Anabolic steroid abuse increases the level of testosterone in the body, which increases the amount of sebum, a fatty secretion coming from skin's dermis layer. Sebum provides nutrients to the skin, keeps it from drying out and as Chad Touchberry, a KU doctoral graduate teaching assistant in physiology said, aids in "keeping the skin happy." Sebum lubes up the pore so the hair follicle can pass easily. But when the sebum level increases, the pore clogs, becomes inflamed and immune cells gravitate to the site causing the unsightly acne commonly found on adolescents.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A
Hair
Anabolic steroids can speed up the balding process. The body converts the steroid into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a substance 10-times more powerful than testosterone. DHT binds to the scalp, shortening the growth phase of hair and causing the follicle to waste away until there is nothing left. Touchberry said. Steroids do not cause baldness. They only affect people who are predisposed to the condition, he said. The process is irreversible, however, and once the hair is gone, it is gone forever.
Liver
Oral steroids, such as dienabol, usually harm the liver more than injectable steroids because oral steroids are 17-alkylated. This means an alkyl is added to the 17th carbon on the hormone ring structure, Touchberry said. Because of this added alkyl, when the body absorbs the steroid, the steroid can make its way through the liver without being destroyed. Unlike testosterone secreted by a man's own testes, which travels through the body first and then into the liver, oral steroids head directly to the liver, he said. The synthetic version of the hormone allows the testosterone to pass through the liver without metabolizing. The continued abuse of steroids decreases the body's ability to rid itself of waste and increases toxicity, he said.
Storioid abuse can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. The heart muscle responds to steroids as the other muscles in the body do — by growing. Myocytes, or the heart's muscle cells, grow faster than the blood supply, causing the heart to work overtime to get the body the blood it needs, Touchberry said. When the heart muscles grow larger, there is less room for blood in the heart. It must pump more rapidly to get the same amount of blood into the body. If blood continues to flow poorly to the heart tissue, new heart cells could die and a fatal heart attack could follow, he said.
Heart
Gynaecomastia, nicknamed "bitch tits" by steroid users, resembles small soft feminine breasts and can totally ruin the hard-bodied appearance most male users seek. Touchberry said the man boobs are not just a cosmetic problem and can be indirectly related to hormone imbalance. An excessive amount of testosterone can aromatize — or get converted into estrogen — which is easier for the liver to break down. The liver is very susceptible to steroid abuse however, and when it's overworked it has a hard time breaking down even simple hormones, he said. This leads to estrogen flowing through the body and causes breasts to develop. Touchberry explains
Gynecomastia

Steroids CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Despite a Kansas law that makes steroid possession a Class A misdemeanor — punishable by up to 12 months in the county jail or a $2,500 fine — Douglas County has not charged a single person with either the possession or sale of steroids in the last few years, said Charles Branson, Douglas County District Attorney.
"It doesn't mean that there is not a trade going on out there. It doesn't mean that there is not somebody out there who has thousands of pills or a supply of vials, and you know those people are looked at, and a lot of times those people go to federal prosecution." Branson said.
But according to Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department, there has not even
been a steroid-related arrest in the last five years.
There has been an emphasis on standard drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, crack and heroine, because it is harder to develop probable cause for use of steroids, Branson said. Police are trained to detect the smell of marijuana, but they can't go into a gym, see a guy bulking up and have probable cause for steroids, he said.
But Branson said that steroids are just as important as other Schedule III drugs. Schedule III includes drugs such as heroine, cocaine and marijuana.
"I think if you talk to any of the detectives in the drug unit, I think they will tell you that as far as they are concerned if it's on the list it's on the list. And they're going to go after it just the same. I think there is probably more of an incidence of reporting of illegal activity when it's marijuana, when it's cocaine, when it's crack than when it is something like steroids," Branson said.
But the illegality of the drug has not been society's main concern. Rather, it is the ethical dilemma that surrounds steroid abuse in sports where users
— labeled as cheats — gain an unfair advantage. While concerned about steroids in sports, society has ignored people taking steroids to enhance their body image.
"Steroids are not the root of the problem," one survey respondent who did not abuse steroids wrote, "only a symptom of a society that has gone over the top."
And in this society, looks matter.
"I don't know why men need huge muscles anymore. It is not like they are out roping cattle or tilling the land." she said.

For women, physical attraction has always been a commodity they have sold. Maybe now that the demands for men's physical attractiveness have gone up, you feel the pressure to be more attractive, said Sandra Albrecht, professor of sociology.
But Albrecht points out that these muscles men develop are just for show.
But some men believe they need these added muscles to be

In an attempt to reach society's beauty standard, some women suffer from anorexia nervosa, but for men, a disorder called muscle dysmorphia afflicts individuals who desire strength and size.

Medi-
Roberto Olivardia, professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, said that muscle dysmorphia, nicknamed bigaxeria or reverse anorexia, played into the sociocultural ideals for men.
Certain that their muscular physiques are puny and weak, muscle dysmorphia sufferers check the mirror dozens of times each day, fixated on their bodies, Olivardia said. They lift weights and exercise constantly and could even abuse anabolic steroids, he said.
"They like to look big and perfect because it makes them look tough, confident and assertive." Oliyardia said.
Brandon, although never diagnosed with muscle dysmorphia, illustrates Olivardia's point. Even though Brandon weighs 260 pounds, he said he feels small and wants to get bigger.
cal School's Harrison Pope, the researchers found men typically chose an ideal body 28 pounds of muscle heavier than their own body and thought women would choose a man with 30 pounds more muscle, even though a preliminary study showed women preferred men without the added muscle.
These men come to this assumption because of a society that encourages image-enhanc-
Olivardia said patients with muscle dysmorphia typically have a history of depression, which can also be a side effect of steroid abuse. Steroid-induced depression was recently blamed for the suicide of a 17-year-old baseball player in Plano, Texas. Steroid abuse can cause a hormone imbalance that some users believe can cause mood
hormonal imbalance, but because when he looked in the mirror, he didn't like what he saw. Cycling off steroids causes him to lose muscle mass, decreasing his overall size.
This hormonal imbalance has also been linked to other psychological disorders such as mood swings and steroid rage. Researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health examined these neuropsychiatric effects in a two-week long, double-blind study, in which neither the subject nor the researcher knew who took the placebo or the active agent, high doses of anabolic steroids were associated with irritability, mood swings, violent feelings, anger and hostility.
However, Chad Touchberry, a KU doctoral graduate teaching assistant in applied physiology, said that there hadn't been any longitudinal studies to definitively link rage with steroid abuse, although anecdotal evidence abounds, much of it focusing on the violent behavior of athletes.
But current and former users admit steroid use influences behavior.
Matt, a former KU club sport member recalls how steroids affected his behavior negatively. "I already had a temper, but they made it worse. I was edgy and unpleasant to be around," he said.
He frequently lost his cool and snapped at his unsuspecting mother.
Former bodybuilder Larry Barber said while he was lifting with other body builders who used steroids, arguments and fights broke out regularly.

"You get to be really aggressive," Barber said. You have to be careful and channel your energy because when you are on steroids, you feel like you could lift the world, he explained.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5A
Brandon insists the mood swings and bouts of aggression aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
"It's more of an irritation," he said, "When someone cuts you off in traffic, you get a hell of a lot more pissed off than normal."
A hypothesis mentioned in the National Institute of Drug Abuse's research report claims that the increase in aggression is not because of the steroid abuse.
but because users have been influenced by media coverage of steroid rage. The researchers theorize abusers use steroids as an excuse to act in a more aggressive manner.
This pseudopsychological effect of steroids is a concept that Josh Magaha, fitness manager at the Student Fitness Recreation Center, agrees with.
Users stack two or more steroids to work through the body's different mechanisms and enhance the desired outcome. Touchberry explained. Many steroid abusers take an anti-estrogen agent throughout their cycle, increasing its dosage toward the end, to ward off the body's increased estrogen resulting from the excessive steroid intake.
High levels of estrogen in a male's body can cause soft feminine breast tissue to develop. Nicknamed "bitch tits," gynecomastia is one of the most undesirable side effects of steroid abuse.

"Steroids have a giant placebo effect," he said.
A simple mental shift and a high-intensity workout can result in muscle gains, he said.
Men and women who abuse steroids typically stack the drugs. Commonly referred to as a cocktail, a stacked steroid regime could consist of drugs such as dianabol, winstrol and progesterone, but it totally depends on the desired outcome, Magaha said.
But he's seen enough people on steroids to know the difference. In the beginning they look flat and dry, he said, but when they begin the cutting phase, steroid abusers dehydrate themselves so that the skin will pull tight against the muscles.
area while he was cycling on and off steroids during his competitive years. Typically, users take the anti-estrogen to avoid its development; Barber said.
Along with stacking the steroids, users must cycle on and off the drugs for them to be effective, Barber said. Touchberry explained that a typical cycle ranged anywhere
from four to 18 weeks, but users must remain off the steroid for one month to a year. Cycling ensures that the receptors to which the steroids bind are still sensitive and able to react to the steroid, Touchberry said.
Cycling, stacking, working out and eating right are all part of the steroid user's culture. Albrecht believes steroid culture is just like any drug culture, developing from the mixture of certain groups of people in specific environments, she said.
Ex-athletes, bouncers or people who frequent the gym are exposed to this atmosphere and can become entranced by it. Both Matt and Brandon began their steroid abuse as people around them were experimenting with the drugs.
Matt said steroid use was so rampant in his high school, he just joined in. Although he only put on 10 pounds in his six-week cycle, his body leaned out by dropping significant body fat and his self-confidence soared.
The bouncers Brandon worked with influenced him to start abusing steroids. Initially, he thought of it as something to do with his friends, but he began to see results and since he started, his weight has increased from 185 to 260 pounds.
But Magaha insists that there are other reasons people begin taking steroids. Of course sports enhancement is one reason, he said, but people who are not satisfied with their bodies, people who want to get bigger for a sense of security and people who like the attention a great physique can bring are all at risk for steroid abuse, he said.
The steroid drug culture also makes it easy for users to obtain their preferred steroid.
Barber said users bought their steroids on the black market just like someone would buy recreational drugs. Some guy at the gym always knew where to get them and how to use them, Barber said.
Sean Edinger, a strength trainer in the Lawrence area, said many dealers head to Mexico to get pharmaceutical grade steroids.
Either that, or "You can get them by convincing certain doctors or vets to prescribe them. It's against their Hippocratic oath, but some will do it," he said.
While Matt bought his steroids from close friends, Brandon opted to shop online. A simple Google search reveals hundreds of Web sites pedding steroids. The problem with choosing just any site, Brandon said, is that people try to scam your money. He heads to chat rooms centered on bodybuilding and working out. They give him advice on which sites are legit and which sites to stay away from.
It is advice that has guided both Brandon and Barber while on steroids. The steroid culture is full of advice; advice as to what steroids to buy, where

Ophelia begins N.C. assault
BY PAUL NOWELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAROLINA BEACH, N.C.
— Hurricane Ophelia lashed the North Carolina coast with high winds and heavy rains yesterday, beginning an anticipated two-day assault that threatened serious flooding and an 11-foot storm surge.
"If you have not heeded the warning before, let me be clear right now: Ophelia's a dangerous storm," Gov. Mike Easley said from Raleigh, appealing especially to those in flood-prone areas to evacuate.
Ophelia was moving so slowly
just 7 mps last night — that
authorities expected the storm's passage through North Carolina to take 48 hours from the start of rainfall on the southeastern coast Tuesday afternoon to the storm's anticipated exit into the Atlantic late today.
Easley said he had spoken to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff and that National Guard teams were prepared to evacuate sick, frail and elderly residents.
The storm had sustained winds of 85 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane warnings covered the entire North Carolina coast from the South Carolina line to Virginia, where a tropical storm warning covered the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
Following the criticism of its response to Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency had 250 workers

on the ground — a larger-than-usual contingent given Ophelia's size. FEMA also put a military officer, Coast Guard Rear Adm. Brian Peterman, in place to command any federal response the storm might require.
Officials on the Outer Banks warned Ophelia could bring 10 hours of hurricane-force wind to exposed Hatteras Island. The southernmost villages of Hatteras, Frisco and Buxton, were expected to get the worst of the winds and the flooding.
"It's an island — the water will come over, it'll go out—and we'll do it all over again," said lifelong Buxton resident Tiffany Bigham, 27.
President Bush issued an emergency declaration for 37 counties in eastern North Carolina, authorizing the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA to coordinate disaster relief efforts.

Chicago petitions Bush to bring troops home from Iraq
CHICAGO - Chicago on Wednesday became the nation's largest city to urge the Bush administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq at once.
The resolution, approved 29-9, seeks an "immediate and orderly" withdrawal. The City Council has 50 aldermen.
Chicago joins other cities — including San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Calif., 50 communities in Vermont and the Chicago suburb of Evanston — in calling for the withdrawal of troops.
The vote followed an hour of emotional debate, including an impassioned speech by Alderman Burton Natarus, who fainted afterward.
Natarus, 71, was in good condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and was be kept overnight for observation, a hospital spokeswoman said.

the University's new visual identity plan.
"We told the Chancellor from the beginning that we will support whatever this committee determines." Marchionny said.
While the department has led the distribution of the new Jayhawk, it is still unsure about the future of several different fonts and KU logos displayed on jerseys and merchandise.
A decision on whether those logos and fonts would change in the future is still pending, Marchiony said.
"We will do whatever we can to incorporate the new visual identity into what we can do as athletics," Marchiony said.
After Hemenway designated an official color of blue last spring, the department spent the summer working on new football uniforms for the team to wear this fall.
During the past three seasons, the team wore navy blue jerseys. It was the only team to use navy blue.
Rock chalk checkmate
Johnston said unifying the University around a single blue was key to the process. "Athletics is our most visible unit at the University of Kansas," Johnston said. "They were a leader in promoting royal blue."
The University will release a graphic identity standards manual for schools and departments Sept. 27. The manual contains rules for usage and presentation of the University logo and graphics.

EDITORIAL
PAGE 9A
City of Lawrence steps up to the plate
"Bush needs to start getting his act together, stop focusing on the war and put his resources into saving some lives." "He really ended his vacation early so that he could visit the new-found city of Atlantis where he could scavenge the swampland and eat babies." "Why is he praising Michael D. Brown for his efforts when FEMA obviously failed to respond in time?" "Mayor Ray Nagin hates his own race and didn't send buses when he should have." "If most of the victims stuck in New Orleans were white or above the poverty line then they would be saved and living on a tropical refugee island drowning their sorrows with margaritas and Coronas."
At least this is what I have learned through the University's bathroom stalls, the Free for All and the brilliant insight of the media. All have
been focusing on what everyone is doing wrong, when more emphasis should be placed on what incredible efforts have been put forth to aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The city of Lawrence was willing to make sacrifices in order to help refugees. Lawrence leaders were prepared to take in 250 people. Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Preparedness, acknowledged all the issues that would come along with providing shelter for the victims.
"Most likely these will be the final evacuees from New Orleans," Phillips said. "They will not have had showers. They will not have had much food. They will not be in a good mood."
amount of public servants required to man the shelter during the 50-day period. Despite all this, the city and the University were still willing to take on this task. The state received only 500 evacuees, a number that Wichita is able to manage single-handedly.
Even though Lawrence could not provide an emergency shelter, the town is still providing an incredible response to this national struggle. Different areas of the community have held fundraisers to aid the relief efforts. The University in particular has been very supportive. The Athletics Department is donating $10,000. More donations were collected at the past two home games and will continue at next Saturday's game against Louisiana Tech. The music department is putting on a benefit concert on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Swartwhout
Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. Students cannot walk past Wescoe or through the Kansas Union without seeing donation booths or getting bombarded by students asking for aid money. Many of these booths have been occupied by student organizations, as well as fraternities and sororities fulfilling their Greek philanthropy. The psychology national honor society, Psi Chi, is donating a third of the chapter dues from their next inductees. It is amazing that so many students are dedicating their time and money to this cause.
New Orleans has had a profound impact on American music, and the Lawrence music scene is well aware of its importance. Several local musicians are putting on fund raisers and donating to New Orleans relief. The incident hit particularly close to home for sophomore Rob Henry, lead guitarist for The Easy Hearts, who transferred from Loyola University in New Orleans, among other reasons in order to play with the band from his hometown of Dallas. The Easy Hearts are giving away free CD's on their Web site and at shows in exchange for donations to the Louisiana Red Cross.
Many Lawrence businesses are doing what they can to help those who suffered. Students were surprised to see that the cover charge at the Hawk had been raised; the extra proceeds went to relief efforts. Highpointe Apartments is offering $1,500 toward an apartment for people who have lost their homes and have come to Lawrence to start up a new life. Local restaurants are getting together through the National Restaurant Association to donate a portion of their
earnings on Wednesday, Oct. 5 to the Red Cross Disaster Relief fund. So feel free to take your significant other on a hot date to Teller's, Zen Zero, Vermont Street BBQ, Pachamama's, Bambino's Italian Café, Wheatfields Bakery, La Parcella or Free State Brewery Co. on that day for fine dining and good deeding.
Maybe America could have responded better once Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Perhaps there wasn't much more that could have been done because of the restraints of the system. But more attention needs to be put on the positive efforts — nationally as well as locally — and on what more we can do to overcome this hardship.

Dear FEMA.
Your only job as a federal organization is to insure the safety of the communities and the citizens of the United States after a disaster.

You had to make sure to get everything organized, right? You had to look good for when the national spotlight was on. While you were sitting on your hands doing nothing, sending no one, people's houses were flooding, and they were dying in their attics.
When looking at the death total of the Hurricane Katrina, you
should look to your own organization and the government, which gave you this job, and know that you are responsible for it being so high.If you had done your job properly, know that tens of thousands would still be alive. Next time you feel like making sure that the relief to a disaster needs to show a positive picture of the federal goverment, realize the time you wait means life or death to people. Or better yet, please resign and allow someone who is qualified do your job. All I want is answers FEMA, which you have been short on lately.

LCR's agenda based on hate
They are opposed to all recruiting and are, in fact, opposed to the US Military and only the US military.
You are disingenuous when you state that the Lawrence Counter-Recruitment is opposed to recruiting on the university.
They blame us for the raps that occur overseas while forgetting that Sadddam had actual rape squads in his government and the Taliban stoned female adulterers. They state that they feel oppressed as homosexuals because a soldier on campus intimidates them.
homosexuality is an abomination and would kill them without a second thought.
while not recognizing the good we do. The very fact that they are able to protest is because of the military.
They hate the military and all they defend. All they have is their hate.
They don't care about the conditions of oppressed people around the world as they seem to imply.
And we stand ready to ensure they can protest anything they wish.
They only want to blame the US military for all the ills in the world
But they don't recognize that our enemies abroad believe that

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Relief becomes grief
)
Destruction. Death. Chaos. Poverty. Race. All prevailing images from Hurricane Katrina. Aftermath that will forever be etched in the mind of thousands of people.
The U.S government's response to Hurricane Katrina will be remembered by many as one of the most mismanaged and botched operations to occur in recent memory.
President George Bush and other government officials at all levels are receiving criticism for their response to and their mishandling of one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin gave a radio interview two days before additional help arrived, blasting the government support that his city had not received. Nagin said in a radio interview with New Orleans radio station 870 WWL. "Don't tell me 40,000 people are coming here. They're not here. It's too doggone late. Now get off your asses and do something, and let's fix the biggest goddamn crisis in the history of this country."
Nagin also said, "I told him (Bush) we had an incredible crisis here and that his flying over in Air Force One does not do it justice. And that I have been all around this city, and I am very frustrated because we are not able to marshal resources, and we're outmanned in just about every respect."
Colin Powell, former secretary of state during Bush's first term, in an interview with Barbara Walters said, "I think there have been a lot of failures at a lot of levels: local, state and federal. There
was more than enough warning over time about the dangers to New Orleans. Not enough was done."
Rapper Kanye West dealt a personal blow to Bush. During a live NBC disaster-relief telethon broadcast, West deviated from the teleprompter and prepared statements. West said, "President Bush does not care about black people."
If you think West's comments are grossly exaggerated or the rumblings of a frustrated or detached celebrity, think again. There are members of the African-American community who feel the same way; any times I feel the same way about Bush. I do not think President Bush dislikes African-Americans, but he is certainly not endearing himself to African-Americans by the terrible way this crisis is being managed.
When President Bush arrived in Mississippi, he called the results of the relief effort "unacceptable." The most powerful man in the world could not get help to an area in the United States for approximately four days. He should have exhausted every resource to help the people in the hurricane-ravaged areas. The lone superpower in the 21st century and the richest country in the world was unable to assist its citizens in one of its darkest moments in history.
Where was FEMA? Where was the National Guard? Some will tell you the national government must be asked by the local and state governments to come in and assist them during a time of emergency. But a state of emergency (martial law) had been declared by Nagin on Aug. 31, and no one arrived for another three days.
Something should have been done earlier, and maybe more lives could have been saved.
FEMA director Mike Brown being replaced is just a Band-Aid on a wound that has already been exposed for too long. In a time of crisis people look for a strong leader with direction, determination and confidence — dare I say, a president. Bush should have taken a more active role in the relief effort of Hurricane Katrina.
When it is all said and done, more than likely thousands of people will have died from Hurricane Katrina, including many who did not have to.
Make no mistake, race and class — two of America's taboo subjects — played a factor in New Orleans. Racism is still alive and kicking, even in Lawrence; just read this past Friday's editorial section in the Kansan. The struggle for civil rights was only 40 years ago. During the United States' 229 years of existence, African Americans have had recognized individual, legal rights for a whopping 40 years. Sad, disturbing, alarming, but true.
Thinking about this tragedy reminded me of a speech by Malcolm X entitled, "The Ballot or the Bullet." He said, "The government has failed us. You can't deny that. Anytime you live in the 20th century, 1964, and you walking around here singing 'We Shall Overcome,' the government has failed us."
Once again the United States government failed its citizens, more directly its poor and African-American citizens.

New bar caters to alternative lifestyles
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When an owner of a gay bar in Topeka told Beau Dreiling that Lawrence could not support a similar business because of its transient lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community, Dreiling decided to prove him wrong.
Last Thursday Dreiling opened Limelight, a bar catering to the LGBT community. The bar is near 9th and Iowa in the Hillcrest Shopping Center. Key West used to occupy the location.
Dreiling said he did not agree with the notion of LGBT nights at bars.
"It's an absolute insult to say people are accepted one night and not the others," he said. "You can't have a 'black' night, so why 'gay' night?"
Sue Mee owns Henry's Upstairs, 11 E. Eighth St., which has 'Family Night' on Tuesdays. She said Henry's was a place that welcomed everyone, every night of the week.
"Family Night is very friendly to
Tara Tindall, Wichita senior, said although there are places in town that welcome the LGBT community, an establishment that provides a consistent atmosphere of support and acceptance is a welcome relief.
the gay community, but it's not exclusive," Mee said. "Our regulars don't mind and gay people still come seven nights a week."
"There are some hazards to being gay," Tindall said. "In a place like this, you can hit on someone without it being awkward."
Lawrence has gone through its share of LGBT bars over the years. One of the most recent was the Barefoot Iguana, formerly located where Stu's Midtown Tavern, also in the Hillcrest Shopping Center, is now. Dreiling attributed the failure of previous LGBT bars to a lack of care and attention by owners.
Despite the desire Dreiling said he had to provide a service for the LGBT community, he has received criticism from members of it.
Kim Kreicker, vice president of NetworkQ, an umbrella organization for the Lawrence LGBT community, said she had reservations
about a straight person owning a gay bar.
"If they want to make money off of our community, it makes me feel their intentions are possibly less than desirable," Kreicker said.
Regarding this concern Dreiling said, "All I can say is that yeah, we are in it to make money, but we are also going to do a hell of a job."
Kreicker also said she would prefer the LGBT community had a community center for people to gather at rather than a bar, so people could socialize in an atmosphere not centered on alcohol.
Roxie Fanning, Phoenix senior and bartender at Limelight, said a bar such as Limelight had been a long time coming.
"It's a venue we haven't had in a while because people haven't been willing to take the risk to open up a place like this," she said. "But we got this place open, so now it's their turn to support it."
Fanning said the bar was about more than just money or liquor.
"It's about the community." she said.

COURTS
Atheist wins pledge of allegiance lawsuit in federal court
BY DAVID KRAVETS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge declared the reciting of the pledge of allegiance in public schools unconstitutional yesterday, a decision that could put the divisive issue on track for another round of Supreme Court arguments.
The case was brought by the same atheist whose previous battle against the words "under God" was rejected last year by the Supreme Court on procedural grounds.
U. S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled that the pledge's reference to one nation "under
God" violates school children's right to be "free from a coerace requirement to affirm God."
Karlton said he was bound by precedent of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which in 2002 ruled in favor of Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow that the pledge is unconstitutional when recited in public schools
The Supreme Court dismissed the case last year, saying Newdow lacked standing because he did not have custody of his elementary school daughter he sued on behalf of.
Newdow, an attorney and a medical doctor, filed an identical case on behalf of three unnamed parents and their children. Karl-
ton said those families have the right to sue.
Newdow hopes that will make it more likely the merits of his case will be addressed by the high court.
"All it has to do is put the pledge as it was before, and say that we are one nation, indivisible, instead of dividing us on religious basis," Newdow said. "Imagine every morning if the teachers had the children stand up, place their hands over their hearts, and say, 'We are one nation that denies God exists,'" Newdow said.
Karlton, ruling in Sacramento, said he would sign a restraining order preventing the recitation of the pledge at the Elk Grove Unified, Rio Linda and Elverta Joint Elementary school districts in Sacramento County, where the plaintiff's children attend. Terence Cassidy, a lawyer representing the school districts, said he was reviewing the opinion and was not immediately prepared to comment.
The order would not extend beyond those districts unless it is affirmed by the 9th Circuit, in which case it could apply to nine western states, or the Supreme Court, which would apply to all states.
The decision sets up another showdown over the pledge in schools at a time when the
makeup of the Supreme Court is in flux.
Yesterday's ruling comes as Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. faces day three of his confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He would succeed the late William H. Rehnquist as chief justice.
In July, Sandra Day O'Connor announced her plans to retire when a successor is confirmed.
The Becket Fund, a religious rights group that is a party to the case, said it would immediately appeal the case to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. If the court does not change its precedent,
the group would go to the Supreme Court.
"It's a way to get this issue to the Supreme Court for a final decision to be made," said fund attorney Iared Leland.
The decisions by Karlton and the 9th Circuit conflict with an August opinion by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va. That court upheld a Virginia law requiring public schools lead daily Pledge recitations, which is similar to the requirement in California. A three-judge panel of that circuit ruled that the pledge is a patriotic exercise, not a religious affirmation similar to prayer.

Victory vital to season's success
The Kansas football team faces a must-win game against Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
But for some reason, no one wants to admit it.
"It's hard for me to sit in front of my football team and say that a certain game is a 'must-win game,' Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "If we lose, then what happens? Do we drink grape Kool-Aid?"
Probably not, coach, but a loss on Saturday will just about end any post-season hopes for Kansas.
Win or lose, eight games remain on the Jay hawks' schedule after their game with the Bulldogs. So, mathematically, they would still have a chance to make up for a loss. But if Kansas can't go undefeated with the easy non-conference schedule it has, how can anyone argue that the team will rebound and finish 4-4 in
Indeed, a perfect start to the season would give the Jayhawks confidence that hasn't been seen on Mount Oread in nearly a decade.
Big 12 Conference play?
With a 3-0 start, however, the Jayhawks will be halfway to the six victories required for bowl eligibility and be in a position to make a run at even higher aspirations.
"To start 3-0 going into conference play would be a huge boost of confidence," senior linebacker Kevin Kane said. "With three wins under our belt, it would be great. Hopefully we'd make it to a bowl game."
Indeed, a perfect start to the season would give the Jayhawks confidence that hasn't been seen on Mount Oread in nearly a decade. The last time Kansas started 3-0 was 1997, and it comes as no surprise that only one Kansas team between then and now has gone to a bowl game. The squad fortunate enough to overcome a non-conference loss was the 2003 team that made it to the Tangerine Bowl after falling to Northwestern. That team played four non-conference games, though, and only needed three Big 12 victories to finish the regular season 6-6. This team doesn't have that advantage. If it loses to Louisiana Tech, where will the other required four conference wins come from? Home games against Missouri and Nebraska both appear to be winnable, as do road games against Kansas State and Colorado. But each of those games is no better than a toss-up if the Jayhawks aren't good enough to beat the Bulldogs at home.
Oklahoma's slow start helps Kansas' outlook at Arrowhead a little, but the Sooners resemble the Jayhawk basketball team this year — long on talent and short on experience. Oklahoma will do nothing but improve as the year goes along under one of college football's best coaches. Bob Stoops.
Iowa State seemed like a probable win two weeks ago, but after the Cyclones crushed the Iowa Hawkeyes, they look like a team to be reckoned with.

Jayhawks celebrate both on and off court
BY MATT WILSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas volleyball team was filled with joy last night, and it was more than just its impressive victory over No. 15 Texas A&M that had players excited.
First, the Jayhawks dominated the favored Aggies, sweeping them in three games.
Lima's tip to the back right corner gave the Jayhawks a 23-20 lead, and they held on to win 30-26. They got help from back-to-back blocks by senior setter Andi Rozum and junior outside hitter Jana Correa late in the game.
And after the victory, the team learned that assistant coach Jill Jones Stucky gave birth to a daughter while the Jayhawks were on the court.
"What a great performance," he said. "It's a ranked team, a quality conference opponent, and I can't think of a better way to start."
emotion from game one into the second frame. Kansas jumped out to a 21-11 lead before Texas A&M awoke from its slumber.
After the match, Bechard said he was thrilled with his team's effort.
"Her name is Melinda," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "It's a pretty exciting night."
The fans at the Horeisi Center seemed to agree, Melinda may have been frightened had she been in attendance, as the boisterous home crowd was treated to the Jayhawks' best performance of the season.
Kansas improved to 9-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12. Texas A&M dropped to 7-3 and 0-1.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima led all players with 19 kills and 11 digs. Kansas was efficient all evening, posting a .314 attack percentage while holding Texas A&M to a .142 percentage.
Game one started off slowly for the Jayhawks as they fell behind early. Kansas took control with a 4-0 run midway through and took a 15-12 advantage.
The Aggies came roaring back with a 13-3 run to tie the match at 25. From there, however, the Jayhawks controlled the match and won the game 30-27.
"I was a little upset that we let them get back in it, but at the same time, we needed a game like that in a situation like this to respond and they did," he said. "I was proud of them."
The Jayhawks carried the
Game three was all Kansas.
The Jayhawks stormed to an 18-
13 lead and never looked back.
They scored 12 of the next 18
points to win 30-19.
Lima made it clear that Kansas would not fold when she hit a spike off the face of Texas A&M senior setter Kari Kelley with the score tied at 27. Cory later ensured the Jayhawks two-game lead with a kill to give them a 30-27 victory.
The second game was the deciding factor in the match. Had the Aggies come all the way back to win it, Bechard said, the match could have had a different outcome.

Despite setbacks, Wright enthusiastic
Freshman's friendly personality is asset to game
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
It's not hard to get to know Julian Wright. If you're around, he is going to talk to you. If you tell him hello, he will probably stop and shake your hand.
"I'm the type of guy who people are always telling to shut up," Wright said. "But if they don't want to hear me, they should just go buy themselves a pair of headphones." Wright is a walking personality, and he has that persona on and off the court. When he is around other people off the court, Wright makes it his job to make certain everyone is having a good time.
That's exactly what he does on the court. Wright is as competitive as anybody, but he would rather leave the game with a win than a double-double. He has a knack for getting all of his teammates involved with his sharp
"I am just active and talkative," Wright said. "I'm always trying to make sure everyone is comfortable. I can't be in a room with dead energy so I like to bring out other people's personalities."
passing skills and his ability to penetrate. But Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said it was Wright's outgoing nature that would be beneficial to his young team this year.
Self points to this summer as an example of Wright's team-first mentality. Wright had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left foot on July 28 and has been in an orthopedic boot since then. He hasn't been able to participate in pick-up games or individual workouts, but he hasn't let that get him down.
"His strengths are personality," Self said. "His strengths are when he walks into a room, he shakes hands with everybody. He is all about winning; all about the team."
"He is over here not even playing, watching pick-up games and high-fiving guys when they make good plays," Self said. "He is one of those guys who is so young that it is cool to be enthusiastic. He is just having a ball playing ball."
Wright is having fun in general. When he is not playing basketball, Wright can usually be found in the apartment he shares with freshman guard Mario Chalmers cooking up some good pranks to play on his teammates.
His latest shenanigan was on freshman forward Brandon Rush. Chalmers and Rush were using their cell phones to instant message each other and Wright logged on to Rush's computer,
Wright is a little more serious on the court. At 6-feet-8 inches, Wright could literally play four different positions. His long arms and athleticism could add versatility to the Jayhawks when he gets on the court.
"That one was just for fun, but they haven't even seen the good stuff yet," Wright said of his pranks. "I'm going to take it easy for a bit and then get someone when they don't expect it."
got on his instant messenger account and sent him messages, pretending to be Chalmers.
"He is a good slasher, someone who will be able to slice through the defense," said Chalmers.
As a senior at Homewood
Flossmoor High School, Wright
averaged 14 points, nine rebounds
and six assists a game.
The biggest problem for Wright going into the season is the time he has missed after his foot surgery.
He has been working out since August 17, but his conditioning is behind where his teammates are, and he hasn't had the opportunity to create any chemistry with other players through pick-up games. Although both Wright and Self said his foot was back to 100 percent, he has some catching up to do.
"Julian is fine, but obviously he is not in good shape right now," Self said.

Despite having to wait around after practice to be interviewed, junior defender Holly Gault smiled and shrugged her shoulders before the questions began.
"Oh, it's not a big deal," she said as she and teammate senior forward Caroline Smith ended their after-practice chatting.
As Gault made her way over to the sideline benches, the ice pack on her leg dripped down to her sock. Unfazed, Gault smiled, ready to begin. Gault is used to seeing family and familiar faces at the Jawhaws' home matches.
"I love playing at home," Gault said. "I'm a Kansas City kid, so I get to play in front of my family and people I know."

The Kansas sailing team had a strong showing over the weekend at the Fall Fury Intersectional in Madison, Wis. The Jayhawks finished third among a field of 12 teams.
Minnesota won the race and Wisconsin won a spot ahead of Kansas. Other teams that finished behind Kansas were Michigan, Ohio, Miami of Ohio, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Marquette and Iowa.
In college sailing, a captain and a crew person sail the boat, which is approximately 14 feet long. Teams are split into two divisions, A and B. Sailing for the Jayhawks were Tim Pitzgerald, Wichita senior; Alli Jones, Bloomington, Minn., freshman; Scott Dalin, Overland Park senior; Anna Majic, Chicago sophomore, and Kelly Holloway, Wichita senior.
The Kansas team's A division finished in first place after 12 races. Despite leading
through the first day of competition, the A division sailers, Fitzgerald and Jones, quickly lost ground on the second day of racing. The second-to-last race became a pivotal situation for the sailing Jayhawks. They had to finish ahead of the
Golden Gophers of Minnesota by at least two spots to claim first place in the A division. Kansas won the race by about six feet in a tight finish.
"It was an edge-of-the-seat deal for our teammates who were watching," Fitzgerald said.
The Kansas B division finished in seventh place overall after 12 races.
Fitzgerald said much of the club's success was attributable to volunteer alumni sailors from the Kansas City area who were brought in to
help coach the athletes.
"This year is also the first we've had organized weekly practices," Fitzgerald said. "Lots of good things are happening with this team."

She ended the two-day tournament at 4-under-par with a three-round total of 212. Costner, whose previous best finish at a college tournament was 17th, shot a 3-under-par 69 in the final round.
Senior Chelsey Prior had the next-best finish on the team, coming in at 21st place with a three-round total of 224.
Senior Meredith Winkelmann, sophomore Annie Giangrasso and junio Jill Womble finished in that order.
Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said she couldn't have been any happier with the team's performance.
"We had a good start and played real well in the second and third rounds," O'Neil said. "I was excited that we broke 300. It was a good trip overall."
Kansas fired a round of 297 in the third and final round of play.
Other Big 12 Conference teams included Baylor, Nebraska and Colorado.
The Bears took the first place team crown. Baylor golfers Sian Reddick and Joseph Svenningsson tied for first place individually with three-round totals of 210.
New Mexico, Fresno State, Long Beach State and Colorado State rounded out the top five respectively.
Nebraska finished seventh and Colorado placed tenth in the tournament.

Three games to note
Sooners, Bruins to face off at Rose Bowl
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
Must-win game?
Oklahoma travels to UCLA this weekend to do battle with the Bruins, who enter the game with a 2-0 record.
After losing its opening game to Texas Christian, Oklahoma defeated Tulsa at home 31-15. This week may prove more challenging for the Sooners as they will have to defend against UCLA running back Maurice Drew. Drew has had a good start this season, rushing for more than 200 yards in two games and scoring three times.
Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said he knew this week's game would be a tough test for his team before conference play begins, and two losses this early in the season would be costly.
"UCLA has made improvements, and talent wise they have always been good," Stoops said. "They continue to have sound schemes and are disciplined."
Freshman quarterback Rhett Boram did not fare well last week. He completed five of 13 passes for just 42 yards and two interceptions.
The Sooners may have to rely
Oklahoma will hope that Peterson's services will be available Saturday. According to espn.com, Oklahoma suspended Peterson from practice Monday and Tuesday after missing classes. A decision will be made later in the week on whether Peterson will start against UCLA.
on sophomore running back Adrian Peterson to carry most of the load. Peterson rushed for 220 yards and scored three touchdowns against Tulsa last weekend.
The Baylor Bears will travel to New York this weekend to play Army.
The Sooners and Bruins will face off at 2:30 p.m. at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
Baylor football coach Guy Morriss said he was happy with the crowd at the first home game and was aware of how tough of an environment Army would present.
2-0 start for Baylor
Baylor won its first two games, defeating Southern Methodist in week one on the road 28-23 and beating Samford in its home opener, 48-14.
"We know we can't play all our games in Floyd Casey Stadium, and we won't have that many Baylor people in New York," Morriss said. "It's a loud atmosphere at Army, and it's impressive when they march in the cadets, so it should be a great atmosphere."
Baylor hopes to go 3-0 on the season for the first time since 1996. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN Classic.
Similar to Oklahoma, Baylor has been led by its running back, Paul Mosley. The junior from Austin, Texas, rushed for 150 yards in the first two games and scored three times.
NFL reunion
This weekend in Lincoln, Neb., the Nebraska Cornhuskers will take on Pittsburgh, and aim to improve to 3-0 before conference play.
Callahan came to Nebraska last season after serving as the coach of the Oakland Raiders for two seasons. He led the Raiders to the Super Bowl in his first season. Wannstedt is in his first season at Pittsburgh after serving as the Miami Dolphins coach for five seasons and the Chicago Bears coach for six seasons.
Callahan and Wannstedt met once in the NFL - Wannstedt's Dolphins won 23-17.
Former NFL coaches Dave Wannstedt and Bill Callahan will be on the sidelines for the game.
Wannstedt will be looking for his first win at Pittsburgh after the team dropped its first two games to Notre Dame and Ohio. Game time is 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

FOOTBALL
After heart trouble, Meier keeps ticking
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier returned to practice on Monday, but Kansas football coach Mark Mangino had him do conditioning drills before returning to regular practice.
"He is shedding off the rust a little bit," Mangino said. "He is trying to pick up where he left off." Meier was in the hunt for playing time until he learned he had a heart condition, which forced him out of practice for more than a week.
The team's medical staff detected that Meier had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome after he underwent medical testing for new players just before the season opener.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a disorder that affects the heart's electrical system.
Mangino and his staff have a decision to make in the coming weeks — whether to give Meier a redshirt or have him play as a true freshman. No decision has been made yet.
"We'll need to decide what we want to do with him and what he'll be prepared for," Mangino said. "It's a complicated situation to some degree, because we're going to have to make a decision somewhere down the road."
Football notes:
Cornish has more
Junior running back Jon Cornish has racked up 149 yards on 14 carries in the first two games of the season. Cornish said he could show fans even more of his ability.
"I have some moves that you guys haven't seen yet," he said. "Hopefully, I will get to showcase these weekend."
Cornish saw limited action running the football before this season because he was mainly used on special teams. Cornish said he knew he would play well as soon as he got the opportunity to play this season, but he credited his offensive line as well.
"I believe I am a little more shifty than I have been able to showcase," Cornish said. "The line has been opening such large holes that I have been able to just run straight ahead."
Gordon not concerned
"I haven't had my best game yet." Junior cornerback Charles Gordon, pre-season All-American, has yet to record an interception this season. But that doesn't have him worried.
Gordon did not record any of his NCAA-leading seven interceptions last season until the fifth game of last year, when he notched two against Nebraska.
"I haven't had my best game yet," Gordon said. "I am still
believe I am a little more shifty than I have been able to showcase."
Jon Cornish Junior running back
getting back into the swing of things. Every day I have improved." Gordon has been successful returning punts as well.
He averaged more than 11 yards per return and was close to returning one for a touchdown last weekend against Appalachian State.
No backup quarterback
Mangino said after yesterday's practice that he hadn't selected an official backup quarterback for the Louisiana Tech game.
Freshman quarterback Marcus Herford and junior quarterback Adam Barmann would be the likely choices to back up senior quarterback Brian Luke.
"Marcus and Adam both are capable, and we have no hesitation using either one," Mangino said.
Herford took more snaps at quarterback this week than he did in the past but took equal snaps with Barmann, Mangino said.

Johnson responds to charges
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, who turned himself in this week to face an assault charge, said yesterday he is not "a woman-beater."
"This is something I don't want to be named for...because that is not my M.O. That is not how I was raised," Johnson said.
27
Johnson, who scored two touchdowns against the New York Jets on Sunday and appears to be an emerging star, turned himself in on Monday to face an assault charge in connection with an altercation with his girlfriend in a Kansas City bar.
He issued a brief statement after practice yesterday but declined to take questions.
"But a lot of times you don't get the good out of the bad. You more go for the bad," he said.
A team spokesman said Johnson was upset that one media outlet broadcasted the woman's name as well as Johnson's address and social security number.
Police Department spokesman Darin Snapp said Johnson was cited for domestic assault after the incident.
The woman said she was bruised. Johnson posted bond and was released with a court date set for Sept. 20.
"Let's get the fact clear right now. This police report was not signed by this young lady." Johnson said. "I also praise her for coming back and saying there's a mistake in that report.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson rushes for a touchdown against the New York Jets at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday. Johnson turned himself in to face an assault charge after an altercation with his girlfriend at a bar.
Snapp said Johnson became irate after his girlfriend confronted another woman.
The running back grabbed his girlfriend by the shoulders and shoved her to the floor, the police
report said.
On the Kansas City Star. reported on its Web site Tuesday that the woman denied that she was pushed or dragged to the door.

PITT
Bill Boyce/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pittsburgh Pirates' Mike Gonzalez celebrates with catcher Ryan Doumit after beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 yesterday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Pirates foil sweep
Brad Eldred hit a pair of solo shots for his first multi-homer game and the Pirates' bullpen worked 7 1/3 innings after Oliver Perez was ejected, keeping the Cardinals' magic number for clinching the division at two with a 5-3 victory yesterday.
ST. LOUISE — It's on to Wrigley Field for the St. Louis Cardinals, denied a chance to clinch a tie for the NL Central title at home when the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates avoided a three-game sweep.
"It feels good to play them tough, not have them clinch against us," Pittsburgh interim manager Pete Mackanin said. "We didn't make it easy for them." The Pirates won for only the fourth time in 19 games. The Cardinals completed a 6-4 homestand and begin a 10-game road trip that starts with a four-game series in Chicago today.
Second baseman Mark Grudzielanek said it would have been more satisfying to clinch in Chicago if the Cubs had a contending team.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"If they might have been a little bit closer it would probably be a little more special," Grudzielanek said. "But it's one of those things where I don't think they've really got their thing together."
Jason Bay homered, doubled and drove in two runs off Jason
Eldred, the Pirates' minor league player of the year last season, homered leading off the second and hit his ninth over the visitors' bullpen in left field with one out in the sixth for a 4-1 lead.
Marquis (12-14) for the Pirates, who finished 4-12 against the Cardinals this season. Bay is 10-for-19 against Marquis with three homers, four doubles, a triple and eight RBIs, and he added a third hit with a single in the seventh.
Perez was ejected with two outs in the second inning after hitting Hector Luna in the left leg with a pitch during an otherwise quiet game between teams that feuded recently. Perez was on the 15-day disabled list with a broken big toe when the teams had a pregame scuffle on Aug. 24 in Pittsburgh that led to suspensions of Pirates batting coach Gerald Perry and Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan along with then-Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon.
This was Perry's first game back after an eight-game banishment.
Plate umpire Eric Cooper appeared to warn Marquis before the top of the third.
Cooper said he was alerted by Bob Watson, baseball's vice president of on-field operations, about potential trouble between the teams before the series. He also noted that Luna was at the center of the confrontation in Pittsburgh after his hard slide knocked out second baseman Jose Castillo for the season with
a knee injury.
"He had been hit once before in the series," Cooper told a pool reporter. "It was certain given the variables I had to work with in that particular game, in that particular situation with the pitcher hitting behind him, I thought he was throwing at him intentionally."
Perez denied he plunked Luna on purpose.
"I had a no-hitter, that is why I was so surprised," Perez said. "I want to show what I can do. There's no way I would ever throw at anybody intentionally." Mackanin understood Cooper's view.
"I can see why he's suspicious," he said. "But we had played two clean games."
Mike Gonzalez, the Pirates' seventh pitcher, got two outs for his second save. He struck out pinch-hitter Reggie Sanders and retired So Taguchi on a grounder with runners at second and third for Pittsburgh's first save in 28 games.
Tike Redman's RBI double in the ninth off Julian Tavarez put the Pirates ahead 5-3.
Marquis lasted six innings and gave up four runs, three earned, and eight hits. He won his previous three starts, two of them complete games.
"Mentally, I feel great," Marquis said. "You have games where you get beat even though you've thrown the ball well."

Crowe works for reduced charges
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYDNEY, Australia - Russell Crowe's lawyers are working to win a reduction of the assault charge filed against him after he allegedly hurled a phone at a New York hotel staffer, an Australian magazine has reported.
The 41-year-old Oscar-winning actor, born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, was charged with felony assault after he was accused of throwing a malfunctioning telephone at hotel concierge Nestor Estrada in June.
If convicted, Crowe could lose his right to work in the United States and could face up to seven years in prison.
In an interview published by The Bulletin magazine yesterday, Crowe said his lawyers are working to have the felony change reduced to a less serious misdemeanor.
Crowe, who has a history of explosive outbursts, said he is prepared to accept his fate.
"If I'm an international menace like the (prosecuting) attorney is suggesting, then fine," Crowe said from his home in Sdvynet, "I'll just stay here."
But even that could lead to immigration hassles, Crowe said.
"Every time I apply for a visa, it's like you need a suitcase into the embassy," he said, referring to the amount of paperwork required. "So to add this charge, even as a misdemeanor level ... basically stops me getting certain types of visa."
Last month, Crowe and Estrada reached an undisclosed settlement.
HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Sept. 15, 2005: You might want to choose wisely the times you discuss your ideas, as others could be quite reactive and sometimes unhelpful. You might best be off muzzling yourself in the workplace — and maybe your daily life! Those who are friends and loved ones enjoy the discussions that evolve. You work to break past limited thinking. A person, a trip or higher education could give you that extra push. You will make money easily the first three months of this year. Save! If you are single, you will meet people easily as the weather turns cold. Shop the market. If you are attached, pick and choose your conversations. Timing could make or break the end result. AQUARIUS inspires you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
***** You can be so happy-go-lucky that you might spend more than you can afford or want to pay. Discussions with a respected friend or co-worker help you see another route that is less expensive. Others are upbeat.
Tonight: Think "weekend."
★★★ Your tamper could come out at the most inappropriate time. A boss or a respected person has been pushing your buttons. A partner does care and lets you know it. You find answers.
Tonight: Out late — perhaps later than you want.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You might be acting out of some anger, but only hurting
yourself or someone close. Work with others and seek new ideas or ways to approach this hot situation differently. You can resolve the problem quickly. Tonight: Imagine that you are someone else.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Money has a great deal of importance to you, especially how you feel about your day-to-day life. Someone might push you too hard, and sharp words will ensue. Be ready to talk through the problem later. Tonight: Listen to a trusted partner.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
★★★ You might feel that you are being tested, and in some way you are. Others have their own agendas, which somehow might be in conflict with yours. An argument with someone in charge or
someone important might become a big problem. onight: Just try to relax.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**All work and no play could have you dreaming, if not actually planning to split early. Actually, a vacation could be just what the doctor ordered. Take tomorrow off if you can. You can simply hide out at home, too.
Tonight: Take care of an important errand on the way home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ Your imagination helps you get past a close associate's grumbling. As a result of the lack of energy you give this situation, all ends well in the near future, if not immediately.
Tonight: Romp away.
SCOURPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ You might not be revealing everything that you know, which could cause some irritation between you and a partner. Know when to step back and let events take their course. Friendship plays a large role in your day. Tonight: Happy at home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
SCRAP TARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
***** You work well with others,
at least in conversations. You might
need to lay off taking too much acti-
on or using a heavy hand at work
or on a project. Discussions rather
than actions work today.
Tonight: Go to a local haunt that
has music.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** Someone might throw a tantrum when you give him or her an unequivocal no. A discussion later on will open doors to understanding. Pull away from the immediate issue before having a talk.
Tonight: Your treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ You have a way of drawing others to you. You might also cause some unintentional uproar at home or with a parent.
Schedule a quiet chat for later in the day. You will clear the air if you make the first move.
Tonight: Time with a special person.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ You seem to keep getting into trouble no matter what you do.
Spend as much time by yourself as possible, or keep your mouth closed. Don't express your opinions, for now. Talks need to happen quietly and later.
Tonight: Do what you need to do for yourself.

In games one and three, Kansas played its best. The team hit at a 471 clip in the first stanza and closed out the match with a 412 attack percentage.
Celebrate
"Our hitting percentages in games one and three are unbelievable," Bechard said. "It was a great team win."
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown, who reached double-figures in kills along with Lima and Correa, said Kansas got a little complacent but had the resolve to hang on.
"We got off to a good start in that game," Brown said. "We just kind of got too comfortable and let them back in it. Then
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2005
we were like 'Hey, A&M. Not today."
Lima said she was not worried as the Aggies were charging.
"Our team is kind of known for doing that," she said. "But we always win the end."
Brown said the Jayhawks had the Aggies' number, at least at home. The match marked the third straight time Kansas had defeated Texas A&M at the Horejsi Center, despite the fact that the Aggies still hold a 17-3 advantage in the all-time series. All of the Jayhawk victories have been sweeps.
"We always play well against A&M," Brown said. "They're always a quality program, but they don't like our gym very much I don't think."
With the Jayhawks already receiving votes in the top-25 poll, a victory over a team as highly ranked as the Aggies will likely push them into the poll next week, barring a setback against Oklahoma on Saturday.
"If it does, then great," Brown said. "If not, you know, we'll try again. That was a great way to start off the Big 12."
Bechard said he, too, was more concerned with the conference win than anything else.
"I just know we're 1-0 in the conference," he said. "We want to be a first-round host in the NCAA tournament, and to do that you have to be extremely, extremely competitive."

follow-through on his jump shot. He is also focusing on his spot-up shooting and his footwork.
Wright said he was trying to stay positive. He knows he will just have to work that much harder to get ready to play. The coaches have been working with him on drills to improve his base and
glecting his school work.

Wright said he was most looking forward to going to Maui, but overall he was just ready to get the season started. As any freshman, Wright said he was nervous about some of the adjustments that he would have to make, especially playing in the Big 12 Conference and spending a lot of time traveling. Wright, however, won't be ne-
He said his mom, Gina Wright, was on his behind all the time to get good grades.
"My parents tell me you are only as good as your academics," Wright said. "My mom says you have to be more focused on school than you are on basketball because if you are smart, you will be smart on the court."
— Edited by Anne Burgard
Still, the games against Oklahoma and Iowa State are both possible victories. You can hope for more than three victories in those six games, but there is no reason to expect it. At the moment, Kansas would likely be the underdog in most of those games.
So 3-3 against those opponents might not be the best case scenario, but it would be a good one. If Kansas plays well and comes up with three victories in that group, the team will still need one more victory, without a triumph over Louisiana Tech; to become bowl eligible.
Will that victory come at Texas or at Texas Tech? Probably not.
Yes, the Jayhawks should have won both those games last year in Lawrence, but they will be heavy underdogs in Austin and Lubbock this year.
So basically, it all comes down to Saturday. With a victory, Kansas will be right where it wants to be. But a loss will all but ensure that the Jayhawks spend Winter Break at home.

Gault
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
A Spring Hill native, Gault helped lead the Jayhawks to a 2004 Big 12 championship. She said that the conference title was her favorite award.
"Obviously, winning the Big 12 was by far the best," she said. "It took everyone on the team to win it. I was a little caught off-guard getting first team All-American. I just didn't think I'd ever be there, but it was always my goal."
In her two years as a Jayhawk, Gault has been named to the All-Central Region and the All-Big 12 team both years. She's also received All-Big 12 tournament team honors.
"Holly's obviously a great player," said Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis. "She's extremely dynamic and competitive. She
always brings a lot to the field."
Starting every game but one in the past two years, Gault has become the anchor of a dominant defense. Last season, the Jayhawks surrendered 13 goals all season, tying at ninth among the NCAA.
The Kansas defense has allowed seven goals in six games this season.
The 5-foot-6-inch defender compared the feat to a high-scoring football game in an effort to make non-soccer lovers understand. She said that even if a football team scored 50 points in a game, it would be for nothing if the opponent had scored 51.
"It's so important when you're not giving up goals, you're going to win close games," Gault said. "I don't even know how to explain it. It's so huge. We were able to hold teams to no goals and were able to win a lot of good games."
Gault said she supported the Kansas team and never expressed frustration with her team's defense this year. When asked if last year's success could be attributable to the tandem of Gault and former goalkeeper Meghan Miller, Gault stuck by her teammates.
She said that not having Miller this season cuts down the team's margin for error.
"Having an All-American back there makes a big difference," Gault said. "But we have confidence in our goalkeepers now. It's just making sure that they have confidence in themselves."
She embraces her lead-by example approach to the game and plays for her teammates while they play for her.
"I try to come out here with the attitude of this is what I love to do," she said. "As long as I come out here and do everything I can — that's all I got."
Known throughout the Big 12 for her defensive expertise, Gault was just as excited as anyone last weekend when she scored both goals in the loss to Pepperdine.
"Hopefully I keep scoring, but I love playing defense," Gault said. "It was just an extra bonus this weekend. It’s nice to kind of get into the act a little bit."
Known as 'Hollywood' to her dad and 'Holls' to her team-mates, Gault said she would not give less than herself to the sport that she loves.
"I love it more than anything right now," she said. "I come out here and all my worries are gone. I don't worry about school. I don't worry about things going on at home. I just come out here and kick the ball around."

Editor's note
I've had my fair share of clean up the mess. And then
Oops! trip like the time when I was eight and my family was driving through Nevada in the middle of a 10-hour-day car ride. I had insisted that my little brother play Go Fish with me
even thought he had told my parents that his stomach hurt. I just kept right on dealing out the cards. Then he puked. He threw up all over his Ninja Turtle shirt, all over the back seat, and all over my Go Fish cards. When we stopped the car, my parents jumped out to
P. R. M. K. N. A.
my brother puked some more.
I guess he wouldn't be a good candidate for a truck driver. And I guess truck drivers have good digestive systems. But don't take it from me.
Check out Natalie Johnson's feature story about truck drivers on page 8. From road accidents to truck stops, Johnson brings the little anecdotes and figures that might make you appreciate those roadsters a little more.

Creative crock pot
Use one to make a healthy, cheap meal
By Laura Snyder, Jayplay writer
1
Macklen Mayse, Lenexa senior, juggles a full schedule. From 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., she's in class. With no time to grab lunch, Mayse sneaks a peanut butter sandwich and a granola bar into one of her lectures. After classes are over, she heads to the Lawrence Art Center to teach until 5 p.m. Then she drives to Kansas City, where she grabs a salad for dinner at the restaurant where she works. She usually doesn't make it home until 11 p.m. Mayse works on weekends, too, so finding time to cook a meal from scratch is almost impossible for her.
The image provided does not contain any text content. It appears to be a blurred or pixelated image of some kind, but it is extremely low-resolution and difficult to determine what it represents.
Busy moms and dads have been using them for years, and college students who are busy people, too.
But there's an easy solution to the "what's for dinner?" problem: a crock pot.
With a crock pot, also called a slow cooker, you can save money, meal preparation, clean-up time and calories. They are simple to use but still allow you to cook creatively.
Save time and money
One major benefit of crock-pot cooking is lower food costs, says Dawn Hall, author of Busy People's Slow Cooker Cookbook. While you may not be able to afford filet mignon on a regular basis, you can make inexpensive, tougher cuts of meat into masterpieces. Fatty, more expensive cuts usually don't turn out well when cooked in crock pots. Root vegetables like carrots and potatoes are cheap, and they become tender and flavorful when cooked in a crock pot.
Preparation time can be as short as you want, depending on the complexity of the recipe. You can put meat and chopped vegetables in the crock pot the night before or in the morning, add water or soup broth, plug it in and let it go. Most recipes call for eight to 10 hours of cooking time. Clean-up is a breeze, because you only have one pot to wash.
Pick a Pot
You can buy a slow cooker at Target or Wal-Mart for $13 to $60. Pro Pots, a brand sold at both stores, even
makes pots shaped like basketballs and footballs. If you're on a budget, check garage sales and thrift shops.
Keep in mind the number of people you want to feed. If you only plan to make enough food for one to three people, a four-quart pot will be fine says Rick Rodgers, author of The Slow Cooker Ready & Waiting Cookbook. If you are feeding a house full of roommates or you plan to freeze leftovers for quick meals later, you might want to go with a larger pot that holds six or seven quarts.
Bethany Colwell, Olathe junior learned not to use a bigger pot when cooking just for herself.
"If you don't put enough food in to fill the pot, your meal will burn very easily," she says.
Rodgers also recommends choosing a pot that has heat coils running up the side of the unit instead of just on the bottom, so food will heat evenly.
For convenience, try to find a slow cooker that has a removable crock. These are usually dishwasher-safe and make it easy to pop the leftovers in the fridge.
Be creative
So what can you cook in a crock pot? Almost anything.
"You can basically do nothing wrong in a crock pot," says Tina Bell, caterer for Liz Karr Catering, Inc. "It's really a no-brainer because it's such a dump vehicle."
Recipes are easily available on the Web, and a variety of cookbooks have been published specifically for crock pots.
That doesn't mean you have to follow a recipe, but Rodgers says some foods just don't mix well with slow cookers. Although there are some recipes for making cakes and breads in a crock pot, Rodgers says some of these items simply fare better in a hot, dry oven.
For beginners, he recommends dishes like pot roast, chili or stew. You can also make great party snacks, such as nacho cheese or mini smoked sausages with barbecue sauce. Rodgers' book even includes a recipe for lamb vindaloo, a spicy Indian dish. One of Col-
well's favorite recipes simply consists of chicken breasts and a can of spaghetti sauce, with pasta added toward the end of cooking time.
Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer
Most dishes can cook overnight or while you're in class all day. While throwing the ingredients in the pot and walking away will yield edible results, Rodgers says you might be forgoing flavor for simplicity.
Master the art of slow cooking
Browning the meat and softening the vegetables in a skillet before putting them in the pot may take a little time, but it adds flavor.
The difference between amateur and expert dishes is in the preparation.
Rodgers also recommends cooking with fresh ingredients. Although some recipes call for frozen vegetables and canned soup, they won't be as tasty as those you make from scratch. Also, take it easy on the seasonings. Little evaporation takes place during cooking, so spices will be intensified, especially garlic and chili powder.

If El Mezcal's margaritas don't leave you smiling, the stone-faced but fast-as-hell service will. "El Mez" has been a Lawrence staple since 1999. A longtime favorite for "Best of Lawrence" and "Top of the Hill," the restaurant features typical Mexican fare - burritos, tacos and their like. The food makes up in taste what it lacks in variety. And if the 23rd Street restaurant is crowded, El Mezcal has another location at 804 Iowa street.
Atmosphere: The small restaurant is festive, with a fountain, bright colors splashed on every surface, and a life-size, tin mariachi band on the decorative balcony. It's usually crowded and noisy, so the ultra-casual joint isn't a prime place for intimate dates.

Walnut Valley Festival, and you don't want it to end.
When given the chance to sum up the festival in his own words, Ethan Nuss says, "Winfield is all about getting wild wasted on cheap whiskey while kicking up dirt to the tune of a fast fiddle."
Nuss, Salina senior, is one of many KU students who share a love for that blessed event that comes just once a year. For people the world over, the festival becomes not only a celebration of the bluegrass tradition, but also a place to hear diverse types of music, learn the true meaning of campfire jams and to experience what many Winfield natives refer to as the world's biggest family reunion.
A smorgasbord of sound
While the title seems to specify the
seems to specify the genre of music for the festival, in reality, any genre of music can be heard during the fourday event.
Barry Patton, better known to festival-goers as "Bones," has attended or performed at every festival since its inception in 1972. Patton says the widespread appeal of Winfield comes from being a music festival, not just a bluegrass music festival.
Patton became legendary in Winfield for his extraordinary ability to play the bones, a percussion instrument with primitive roots. He's arguably one of the greatest bones players in the world today and he played them as part of an old-time band in the recent season finale of HBO's Deadwood. Bones is just one of the many less-than-mainstream instruments heard at the festival.
Tommy Emmanuel, Grammy-nominated guitarist and Australia native, began playing at the festival in 2000. His style, which ranges from aboriginal to rock 'n' roll, is another special addition to the event.
Gabe Krieshok, Shawnee Heights senior, saw Emmanuel perform at last year's festival and says, "Honestly, he is the best musician I've ever seen in my life."
Campground jammin'
The real fun to be had in Winfield is in Pecan Grove. This section of the Cowley County Fairgrounds represents the majority of the camping area and is essentially the pulse of the festival. It's much more than boozing, although sneaking alcohol into the dry campground is part of the fun.
Rex Flottman, one of 12 organizers of the festival, says one of his favorite memories from Winfield is the year he and his friends commandeered a golf cart at 3 a.m. They spent hours driving to different campsites in Pecan Grove, listening to music and hanging out with whoever was still awake. He says what really makes Pecan Grove so incredible is that there is no sense of time. Flottman says music is playing 24 hours a day.
The festival also plays host to the National Guitar Flat Pick Championship, the International Finger Style Guitar Championship and many more nationally recognized contests.
Flottman says that with all of these
competitions, you have to assume that Winfield becomes home to at least 200 of the top guitar players in the world, most of whom are probably sitting around a campfire in Pecan Grove, waiting for someone to take a seat and start jamming.
Bluegrass or bust
For many festival goers, dreams come true in Winfield.
Flottman met his childhood idol, Tom Chapin, while working at the festival.
Chapin - a Grammy-award-winning folk singer - has been a regular since the late 1980s.
Patton jammed at his campsite with now-famous country stars like Alison Krauss and Nickel Creek.
What is extraordinary about the festival is not necessarily the amount of musical talent present, but the closeness of everyone who attends.
Chapin says he continues to come to the festival because it's become a reunion of friends and fellow musicians.
Emmanuel says the "sheer happiness of everybody" is what makes him return year after year. He says that nowhere else in Kansas can 20,000 people come together annually and feel like family.

THE WORLD OF TRUCKERS
Jayplay 09.15.05
Jayplay's Natalie Johnson investigates the lives of commercial vehicle drivers
In high school restaurants of the Oak Grove High School Travel Park looks smells and feels just like a truck stop only to. There are a few high looking whiteness, all under 30, with their hair either hastily pulled back or badly permed. There is a long salad buffet with few taters. The aroma is a curiously comforting, Saturday-morning smell of greasy breakfast food and stale cigarettes. And dead ahead is a low, beige coffee bar patronized by three customers.
The first is an overweight woman with a cigarette in hand. She's got peroxide blonde hair and long, fake purple nails with a flowery decal stuck to the tip of each one. A few seats down is a man who looks to weigh 300 pounds. Camel Lights next to his coffee cup, and sporting a red plaid shirt and a huge belt buckle. The third customer, half the size of his companions and bald, is lighting up a Marlboro Ultra Light 100. Red veins etch into his cheekbones and nose.
Their dialogue is a slow, ambling discussion that can easily be paused to light a cigarette or abandoned to get back on the road. It alternates between "son of a bitch"-riddled diatribes about lousy dispatchers and tall tales about impossible weather, traffic or exwives. The breaks for laughter are frequent and prolonged. Eech is generous with his smoky, wheezy guffaw. Everyone's a stranger by the civilian world's standards, but teasing insults and empathetic kindness come out as easyi as they do among old friends.
And that's just how truckers are: easygoing and grateful for a few moments' conversation and story swapping. They don't judge the man who admits to seven children and four ex-wives, and they don't forget to tip their waitress. The stereotyping ends with appearance and mannerisms. Truckers are wise, good-hearted people. They're fairly educated too. According to a profile in Newport Communications, roughly half of truckers have some college education. Approximately 90 percent have a high school diploma or equiv

I'll up for you," says Dieter Reyes, server and driver for 10 years. He wont he saw at a truck stop, "If it trucks, you'd be naked, without a well nothing to eat."
Life on the road
responsible to any inquiry about what made him as a trucker hard, but they find ways around it. In Henry's early years, he would often walk up to a farmhouse and ask if he could join its residents for dinner, offering to pay for his plate. His presence was never turned down, but his money was every time.
Loneliness manifests itself in a lot of ways, not the least of which is the infamous "truck stop love," anonymous homosexual encounters at roadside stops. Reyes says he has been approached more than once by a "babe booey," the advertising call and nickname for gay drivers on the CB, the "citizen band" radio used by truckers to communicate with one another.
Back at home, drivers usually have a miserable record of personal relationships. Studies consistently show that truckers have a higher rate of divorce than the national average. They aren't sheepish about admitting to numerous failed marriages, but they don't complain about the horrors of divorce, either. They simply move on. For most, driving is a lifelong marriage to the road. It's not just a job, it's a lifestyle.
Every aspect of Paul Stephens' life has been influenced by his trucking career. When he does make it home, he seldom can stand to be there for more than a few days. In his 34 years of truck driving, he's spent more nights in the cab of his truck than in his own bed. It's hard for him to get comfortable in a bed, so when he's at home, he often fires up the truck in his driveway and sleeps there.
There are few other jobs that entail as much private thought as truck driving. Each day holds between eight and 11 hours of solitary confinement.The trucker's legal workday recently got extended. Last month, the Bush administration reaffirmed a 2004 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rule change that extended the allowed workday from 10 to 11 hours.
Henry says that good drivers use obstruction-free driving time for mental planning so that in the event of bad weather or a collision they're ready. He describes a sort of audible sofa "what if" game, with no situation being too outlandish to plan for. On the lighter side, music, CB chatting and cell phone calls can help break up the monotony.

Trucking Reality
The trucking industry is ruthless and demanding with a high failure rate and merciless odds. After clearing tremendous overhead costs in fuel, maintenance and insurance, a huge trucking company — one with, say, 17,000 trucks could profit only a dollar a day per truck, said Henry. His company, with only six trucks, pays nearly $5000 each month in overhead. The industry makes its $255 billion in revenue through sheer volume.
There are two main types of drivers: owneroperators and company drivers. Owner-operators own their own trucks and have more independence. But they must pay for maintenance costs and the $70,000 to $115,000 trucks. Company drivers drive trucks that are owned by their employers. Should a company truck break down on the road, its driver need only call the company to have the damage repaired -- at no personal cost. But company drivers also have less autonomy.
---
Kit Leffler/ Jayplay photographer
The industry as a whole desperately needs drivers. Henry says there is a shortage of 50,000 drivers, resulting in a new standard of "if you've got a pulse, you're going in a truck." The trucking industry is trying to recruit with the concept "your own boss," hoping to attract drivers to the career, which has no dress code or set hours and pays an average of $32,000 annually.
The turnover rate is high - about 120 percent, according to the American Trucking Association.Truckers complain that larger companies often treat them as mere extensions of the trucks they drive, not considering their individual needs. And truckers suffer from "the grass is always greener" syndrome, says Reyes, leading to an industry-wide habit of frequently switching companies.
The health of drivers takes a hit too. According to a study by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 75 percent of truckers are overweight, and 25 percent are obese. Most truck-stop food is just grease in different shapes and colors, accompanied by bottomless
cups of coffee. A typical meal at the Iron Skillet, the "breakfast sandwich platter," comes with two metallic-tasting pancakes, two strips of bacon that are more chewy white fat than glistening
meat and a tough sausage patty. An entire bottle of syrup and generous portions of butter come on the side. Top off a meal like that with a cigarette or 10 and it's a wonder drivers don't expire walking out the door.
Trucking over time
Most middle-aged drivers have plenty of negative things to say about the newer generation. Henry blames the driving schools, who train drivers in
just four or six weeks and seem to instill a "me first" attitude. He recalls that 10 or 15 years ago, when a truck would pull over with a problem, three or four drivers would pull over behind it, offering help. He says a trucker would be the first to stop and help a civilian change a tire or call for help. Stephens says he used to carry scores of spare parts in his truck at all times, just for other people. With roadside crime increasing, however, truckers are making these gestures less often. Nowadays, recalls driver Penny Lowery, one runs the risk of being shot and robbed when pulling over. Kindness is simply too risky.
Truckers are also subject to a Department of Transportation crackdown on drug and alcohol use. Estimations among old-timers vary, but some estimate that any more than 20 years ago, 50 to 70 percent of drivers were on drugs at any given time. Now the Department of Transportation can call a dispatcher at any time and require any driver to stop for a screening.The screenings are frequent; Henry estimates he has a driver being screened every week.
Truck stops have changed, too. They are now called "travel plazas" and have improved features like personal showers, showers for women, even movie theaters and chrome shops. ("A trucker's favorite color is chrome," Henry says.)
The information age has also brought
change to truckers. The portability of televisions, laptops and phones and the tremendous variety of satellite radio have made the road more pleasant for truckers. Recreation is now easier than it has ever been. And the Web offers some great programs.The "trucker buddy" program matches drivers with classrooms across the country.The instructor uses the trucker's route and experiences to teach,and the students send postcards and letters.
But along with advanced entertainment technology comes more relentless tracking and communication devices that often irritate truckers. Company trucks are often fitted with limiting systems that cap the car's velocity at a certain speed. Instant message systems allow companies to contact their drivers at any time, day or night. After being constantly disturbed by his company's dispatcher, Stephens says he cut the wires off his instant message unit and shipped the whole device back to his company.
The industry is also growing more diverse. Traditionally a man's profession, women now make up about 12 percent of all truckers, according to the Newport Communications profile. More than 75 percent of women owner-operators have spouses who also drive trucks.
Penny Lowery is one such woman. She and her husband work for the same company, making it possible for their schedules to correspond. She says that for the most part, men have treated her equally. If they give her "shit," she gives it right back, she says, and that usually takes care of it.
It's not surprising. Truckers have to endure extreme weather and traffic risks. Henry has been through two hurricanes, an earthquake, a flood and a sandstorm. Nine percent of America's annual 41,000 to 45,000 traffic deaths involve a commercial vehicle, according to www.truckinfo.net. More than 80 percent of those accidents are not the fault of the truck drivers. In 1998, 600 truck drivers were killed on the road.
Henry was in many dangerous situations during his 23 years as a driver, but the worst was in 1989 in Dallas. He was driving a tanker truck carrying 8,500 gallons of gas. A woman drove off the on ramp. While swerving to miss her, Henry lost control and rolled his truck. He had seconds to climb out the passenger side window and run before the truck went up in blazes. The explosion made headline news as far away as California, he says. The next day, six drivers quit when they saw what was left of the tanker: a pile the size of a card table. Henry just went back to work.
The industry isn't a gentle one. Truckers are a tough breed. They deal with great struggles — from natural disasters to marital problems — and must do so alone. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that a high percentage of truckers suffer from high blood pressure, high stress levels and a poor diet. They must be self reliant and able to make split-second decisions.

and GPS, truckers still maintain a bit of the rugged explorer's lifestyle: they are usually far from home and uncertain what the next bend in the road will bring them. Any trucker will tell you it's a rough life, but there's a reason 3.3 million Americans choose to be drivers. Reyes gets almost sentimental when asked what his favorite aspect of trucking is.
"I'll give you a bullet list," he says, taking a long pull on his Marlboro. "Sunrise in the Rockies. The ocean view in British Columbia.The harbor and ocean along the Atlantic and Canada. Sunset in California."
How to share the road with trucks
- Pass quickly.
- Stay out of blind spots, the areas around a truck that a driver can't see. Blind spots are biggest behind and to the right of the truck. Remember: if you can't see the mirror of the driver, the driver can't see you.
- Give trucks plenty of space, especially when they are coming on or off the highway or stopping.
- Slow down in construction zones. Let other drivers merge when approaching
the zone.
- Stay alert and keep distractions to a minimum.
- Respond appropriately to driving conditions. Slow down and turn on headlights in bad or darkening weather.
- Switch lanes when passing stopped or oncoming safety vehicles.
- Don't drink and drive.
- Wear a safety belt.

Jessica: Two words. Metal underwear, Just kidding! Why not throw that pack of condoms into your paper shredder? That way you won't think twice about bagging that "butter face" from the bar who's probably just a walking STD. TD hang out in more group settings and
spending one-on-one time with people who don't pose any temptation or who are already in a faithful relationship. It's also wise to have a sober friend around to make sure you go home alone at the end of the night.
Brian: Last week Jessica and I talked about getting an STD test. This is something you need to have done yesterday. You are putting yourself in a strong position to contract a disease. One way to stop with these one-night stands is to have some self-control. While it's definitely easy to sleep with someone with no strings attached, you need to put your health before your libido. Another way to stem your sexual drive would be to take a personal trip to Priscilla's. I'm sure there will be something you could find there to keep you entertained.

I met a cute guy at a different school through Facebook.com and our online talks have become very intimate recently. I want to take our relationship a step further and I'm thinking about sending him a naked picture of me. Do you think this will help our relationship? - Jenny, Junior
Jessica: Totally! If by "helping your relationship" you mean objectify yourself! We're always complaining about men seeing us as pieces of meat. Why not present yourself as a respectable girl and you won't have that problem? This means no, Jenny. No nakey pictures.
Brian: Oh Facebook.com, is there anything you can't do? Yes, Jenny, sending him that picture could help your relationship and end up with you two living happily ever after with two kids, a house in the suburbs and the white picket fence. It could also end up with
your picture on a website and all of his friends knowing you as that easy girl from Kansas. As much as you might want to turn him on, you have to realize that you don't know everything about him. Maybe he does this with lots of girls. Maybe he just collects pictures of naked girls. Maybe he's actually a 40-year-old alumnus who preys on vulnerable college girls. For your safety, keep your clothes on and your camera off.
?
I'm from out-of-state and I'm still dating my girlfriend from back home. I want to become friends with girls here at KU, but don't want them thinking that I want more. What should I do to make my intentions clear?
- Patrick, Freshman
Brian:The easiest way to not give any girls the wrong idea:DON'T LEADTHEM ON!!! Stay away from the sexual talk,the playful touching, and closed space areas. Keep referencing little facts about your girlfriend and emphasize how much you miss her Unless the girls you are befriending have no morals,they will take the hint.Also,pay attention to your male intuition. If you have any doubts about whether or not you can just be friends with a girl,then you probably shouldn't be friends with her.
Jessica: Go buy a honkin' fake ring at Wal-Mart and put it in a pretty box. Explain to them that this will be your "wifey's" ring. Hopefully then you'll make friends with the opposite sex without them thinking you want to do them. Or, you know, you could always be sly and allude to her by saying something like, "gee, I wonder what I should get my girlfriend for our upcoming anniversary." Easy does it.

How we met
Couple: Scott & Leanne
Leanne Breiby, Olathe senior, and Scott Mayo Lenexa senior, have a relationship that is literally based on a lie.
They first met because Leanne was good friends with Scott's younger sister in high school. Although they both claim there was an initial attraction, neither one made a move. Their friends decided to take action. One friend went to Leanne to tell her that Scott had confessed his interest. The other went to Scott and told him the same about Leanne, although neither had said anything.
On their first group date, Leanne smoothly laid down the line, "So you like me, huh." To which Scott replied, "So, you like me, too." And that's where it all started.
More than two years later, the two happily admit that their union is the result of a couple of little white lies. Leanne loves that Scott can always make her laugh and Scott grins as he tells of his favorite feature about Leanne. "I like her sexy butt," Scott says.

Clockwise from left: a bouncer at The Red Lyon examines a patron's ID at the door. Paul Paridy, Dallas senior, works the door at It's Brothers! Trent Teimeyer, 29, won't put up with underage imposters at the Granada.
By Lindsey Ramsey, Jayplay writer
You join the line, get out your ID and hold your breath. The line dwindles in front of you as you try to remember the name and stats on your ID. You reach a big, burly man who surveys you with suspicion. You give him an "I've-donethis-a-million-times" look, but there is fear in your eyes. He looks you over again and then it hits you. You aren't getting in the bar tonight.
Yes, a bouncer has the power to make or break your night and this power makes these men feared by the under- age bar hoppers.
It's 11:15 p.m. on a Thursday night at The Ranch and the bouncers have already had to push back some girls trying to rush in without paying or letting them get a look at their IDs. It must be tough being the bad guy all the time.
Bouncers are a staple of almost every bar in America. They keep
things under control and take care of things when people start trouble. Even the infamous Al Capone worked as a bouncer, which is where he earned his reputable nickname, "Scarface."
Lawrence bouncers, however, have to deal with a different kind of bar patron: the drunken college student.
Paul Paridy, Dallas senior, has been a bouncer for a year at It's Brothers! Paridy says dealing with drunk people when he is sober and working can be annoying, but the money and the special treatment he receives make the job worth it. Paridy says he gets "hooked up" by Lawrence business owners who remember him from his door duties at the bar. He says he gets into bars more quickly and even free drinks.
One of the most difficult parts of the job is stopping a drunken scuffle. Paridy says when he has to go into full bouncer mode and kick someone out, there is always a lot of talking back and scuffling. He says the nature of a removal usually
Down the street at the Granada, '80s night (a.k.a. Neon) is in full swing. Bouncer Trent Tiemeyer, 29, has worked at the Granada for the better part of four years. He has plenty of stories to tell.
But, for Paridy, the good part of his job outweighs the bad "It's the closest you can come to being out at the bars but you're still making money," Paridy says.
He once saw a guy try to sneak downstairs to the basement just to steal beer. Tiemeyer caught the perpetrator and had to physically hold him until the police came to arrest him.
Another time, he had to confiscate a girl's ID because he was certain that the picture on the ID was not the same girl. The reason he was so certain was that it was his sister-in-law's ID.
involves someone who is too drunk. Patrons who can't hold their alcohol and end up vomiting are automatically kicked out.
you;" Tiemeyer says.
"It is. I just got a haircut," she told him.
Tiemeyer kept the ID and sent the imposter away.
At concerts, not only is Tiemeyer in charge of the door, he's also responsible for looking out for elusive crowd-surfers and keeping the band and managers happy.
"I said 'I definitely know this isn't
But working those concerts is his favorite part of the job because he gets to listen to live music and has the chance to meet a lot of cool people, including members of bands like Flogging Molly and Reverend Horton Heat.
Despite the perks, Lawrence bouncers have a tough job. Fights, drunken patrons and fake IDs are just a few of the problems have to be constantly aware of — and they're good at what they do.

Sandbar 17 E. 8th St.
Kansas may be landlocked but the spirit of the sea can still be found at the Sandbar, 17 E. 8th St. Less than a nautical block from Mass. St., this tiny bar (capacity 49) is Lawrence's own shack near the wharf, complete with a tiki bar, surfboards and a 400-gallon fish tank. Be sure to ask former KU basketball player and current Sandbar manager Dave Johanning for the bar's signature drink: the Bahama Mama — a fruity head rush that comes fully-loaded with a tiny umbrella and Mardi Grass-style beads to wear. Also, browse the city's most baffling jukebox, which includes Jimmy Buffet (understandable), Sinatra (unexpected) and the Schoolhouse Rock soundtrack (incredible).

GAME
Death Jr.
PSP
☆☆
It's pretty hard to smile if you don't have lips.
That's only one of Death Jr.'s problems. I really wanted to like this game. It has a plot that is far from normal: Death Jr. and his friends are in a museum when he opens a box containing a monster that takes his friends' souls and scatters them about. The characters are pretty funny and the weapons are original — especially the C4 harmsers. That's right, exploding hamsters.
Another reason I wanted to like this was because it is an original to the PlayStation Portable. Unfortunately, the controls are really touchy when targeting weapons and I spent almost five minutes trying to make what seemed to be an easy jump. If you're sick of using your PSP as a portable video player, an MP3 player or as an emulator, check this out. It's not going to blow you away, but it will give you something new and original to play, two things that the PSP is sorely lacking.

MUSIC
Trisha Yearwood
Jasper County
1/2
On Jasper County, Yearwood's first record in four years, she ditches the
ballads of yore for a hee-hawin' line-up of western-dance numbers and knockout country rockers ("Who Invented the Wheel" is bluesy, ballys, gutsy Yearwood at her best). Songs like "Pistol" and "It's Alright" revert to old-time hillbilly twang and honky-tonk piano riffs. "Sweet Love" is smoldering, sexy country, the likes of
TRISHA
YEARWOOD
Hopes Enough
- of the mediocre, country-pop-driven variety. Albums like 1998's Real Live
which Yearwood delivers deliciously. And "Try Me" is a solid, tense, mid-tempo rocker with pitch-perfect harmonies from Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn.
If ever a complaint was made of Yearwood, perhaps unfairly, it was that her material is excessively ballad-heavy
Woman and 2001's Inside Out, though some of her best, had trouble rising above the land of mediocrity. Those were saved by Yearwood's interpretive voice. On Jasper County, the material works with Yearwood, rather than Yearwood straining to make the material worth something. And the listener reaps the rewards of
such a partnership. Finally, things are as they should be on Jasper County. In a smart move, Yearwood includes only one true ballad, lead single "Georgia Rain," a gushing, gorgeous piece of contemporary pop-country, taken to the next level by a nuanced vocal treatment.
Thus Jasper County, Yearwood's tenth album proper, should mark a milestone on an already award-studded path. Throughout her career, Yearwood has always made a point to choose material a cut above the mediocre, rarely obvious or instantly catchy, which has succeeded in making her music more interesting, whether due to non-traditional instrumentation, a meandering melody, or unclear hook. Still, it's great to see her get a hold of some true radio-friendly, big-chorus, hook-laden stuff. The woman whose voice takes the mediocre to something more is even more amazing when performing material that matches the stellar quality of her voice. The results are sublime. Jasper County is damn well near the best album Yearwood has ever crafted. And that's saying a hell of a lot.

Stranger than fiction
Movies have ruined my love life and probably yours too
Meet Lloyd, Aiden, Andrew, Troy, Jesse, Harry and, hell, throw in Dusty. The whole gang is here. These names represent the only crushes in my life and they are the reasons that I will never find happiness.
These names belong to fictional characters, the exception being Dusty, my cat.Yes, I know I am a girl who is in love with fictional
So introductions: Lloyd is Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything, the relentless boy next door. Aiden is Aiden Shaw from Sex and the City, the sensitive carpenter who is too good for us. Andrew is Andrew
and I own a cat that I count among my loves. There is a reason I was voted most likely to be a crazy cat lady in high school and this is it.
Largeman from Garden State, the funny guy that needs you. Troy is Troy Dyer from Reality Bites, the greasy haired musician who is also your best friend. Jesse is Jesse Wallace from Before Sunrise, a greasy-haired impulsive, philosophical
dreamer that you meet on a train while abroad. Then there is Harry Potter

State or an Amelie. Now, normal people will admire these fictional characters and then go out and meet real people, but I apparently have trouble finding someone who can live up to my fiction-induced standards. My friends share my frustrations and we have all come to the same conclusion - that the movies have ruined our chance for love.
Yes, I need to realize there are plenty of guys around here that should be good enough to the fill the void of companionship that plagues me. But I know I will never stop hoping for the day a Lloyd Dobler stands outside

In his book, Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, Spin writer Chuck Klosterman writes about the problem with fake love.

This is why, he theorizes, a woman will never satisfy him and he will never satisfy one in return.
Heights" as used in Garden State; while telling me that "I break his heart again and again but he still loves me," as Troy Dyer does in Reality Bites.
So unrealistic have movies made my expectations that I went to Vienna just like in Before Sunrise. I sat on the train and I looked for a Jesse. But no one came and
asked me to get off the train. And I find myself desperately disappointed it didn't happen.
But then something right out of a movie did happen. Not to me, of course, but to one of my best friends and when I heard this story it restored all my faith in romance.
Illustration by Scott Kaserman
My friend had been casually dating a guy, but they hadn't kissed yet. Imagine a scene with a boy and a girl at a park. Cue rain. Close up as they finally kiss. Wide shot of the boy swinging the girl around and hugging, both of them so glad that it finally happened. Cue Simon and Garfunkel and you have a scene right out of Garden State and my friend also has, in her opinion and mine, the ultimate first kiss. Movie love personified.
This is what those of us who are lost in a world where the only relationships worth having begin on a foreign train or with a desperate chase to an airport must learn if we are ever to be happy. Guys and girls need to realize that romance isn't confined to the silver screen, and in order to not be continually disappointed by the fact that our lives will never live up to the movies, we need to spend some time working to make our lives and our romantic moments disappoint whatever standard the movies have set.
This may sound unrealistic but ask my friend and she will tell you that her kiss in the rain bested any kiss she has seen on screen. As for me, I will, begrudgingly, turn off the movies and never give up hope that I will find someone to carry out my own movie moments with.
Now this story makes me crazy with jealousy as it does to every other girl who has heard it, but it also gives hope. A kiss in the rain is one of the defining characteristics of a good romantic storyline; see Say Anything, Sex and the City, Dawson's Creek and Garden State and it happened to my friend.
But to Aiden, Jesse, Troy, Andrew and Harry: I will never forget you.

SAFETY
Cyclists do not always obey laws
Regulations for bikes on campus same as cars in most cases
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When Ed Mangimelli rides his bicycle to and from class, he occasionally runs a stop sign or takes his bicycle on campus sidewalks, even though he knows he is breaking the law.
Mangimelli, Atchison freshman, said he did it because certain buildings were situated in such a way that the places bikes were locked were on the sidewalks, forcing him to leave the road.
"And laziness," he said. "Traffic laws aren't enforced anyway. I don't wear a helmet and have never been caught."
According to the city of Lawrence's standard traffic ordinance, every bicycle rider shall be granted the rights and be subject to the duties that apply to a
Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the same traffic ordinances that applied throughout the city applied on University property as well.
"Cyclists must stop at stop signs the same as cars do," Bailey said. "If they don't and they are caught, the fine is the same for bikes as it is a car. $102.00 to Municipal court."
Bo Donora, Portland, Ore., senior, said riding bicycles on sidewalks wasn't a problem when there was not a crowd, but there was the potential for someone to get hurt when the sidewalks were busy, such as between classes.
Chris Ornce, Leawood senior, said the street was for all vehicles, including bicycles, unless they were trying to park.

TRANSPORTATION
Gas prices pose further problems for KU on Wheels
Bus pass costs could soon rise if fueling problems remain
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students who purchase bas passes may soon have to shoulder the burden of a KU on Wheels budget that is shrinking because of gas prices.
KU on Wheels is contracted with the Lawrence Bus Company to provide busing and fuel, and if gas prices rise above the amount agreed upon in the contract, KU on Wheels is required to pay the difference, said Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels.
This includes the diesel fuel for buses as well as unleaded fuel for SafeRide vehicles.
Current average Lawrence prices are $2.75 for diesel and $2.66 for unleaded.
The contract price for diesel is $2, and the price for unleaded is $1.65.
If gas prices remain high, KU on Wheels will have to rely more on student bus pass sales, but the amount of students purchasing passes is on the decline. Mortinger said.
She said KU on Wheels sold 4.856 annual and fall-only passes in the first week of the 2004 school year but had sold only 4.179 this year.
"We're going to have to find the money somewhere. Inevitably, since students pay for it, there is nowhere else to put the burden of the cost," Mortinger said.
An annual bus pass costs $130,
and the cheapest parking permit costs
$140.
Mortinger said students opted for parking permits without factoring in the added price of gas.
"People are deciding to walk or they are driving or riding their bikes. I think people are too attached to their cars," Mortinger said.
Blake Huff, Larned graduate student and chairman of the transportation board, said he was not concerned with the drop in sales.
He said he expected more students to buy bus passes after the first snow.
If gas prices remain high, KU on Wheels will have to rely more on student bus pass sales, but the amount of students purching passes is on the decline, Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said.
Huff said in the long term KU on Wheels may have to re-budget in order to prevent students from shouldering the extra costs of gas prices.
Erin Koontz, Dodge City junior, said she had a bus pass last year but always had to wait in the rain or snow and often ended up walking to her car.
"It's kind of a pain in the ass," Koontz said.
Elizabeth Herrman, Garden City senior, said she had a bus pass because she lived too far to walk or bike and with a parking permit she would still have to walk from her car to class.
"It drops you off right in front of class. It's really convenient," Herrman said.
KU on Wheels is student-run and student-funded by an $18 transportation fee charged to all students as well as money generated by bus pass sales. KU on Wheels uses these funds to cover the extra gas charges.
KU on Wheels is currently in its second year of a three-year contract with the Lawrence Bus Company, and Mortinger said that it would be difficult to project any renegotiation in the contracted gas price because gas prices are unstable and could change substantially within the next year.
The Lawrence Bus Company is required to contract with a fuel provider that submits the lowest bid to KU on Wheels.
Mortinger said the gas price agreement was intended to protect the Lawrence Bus Company from fluctuating prices.

Association aims to keep parents in the loop

KANHS STAFF WRITER
University of Kansas officials are scheduled to announce a group today that would improve communication between parents of KU students and the University.
Frank DeSalvo, interim dean of students, said the KU Parent Association was formed to reach out to parents and answer frequently asked questions. He said the University continually received calls from parents regarding everything from scheduling to tuition.
"We thought this was the tip of the iceberg," DeSalvo said. "We figured there were more people out there who wanted answers to the same questions."
The University is hoping to facilitate a response this weekend, which is Family Weekend. A booth will be stationed in the Kansas Union where parents can sign up to be members. Students and KU officials will also serve on the 16-member advisory board.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Advisory board meetings will start next semester. Marlesa Roney, vice provost of Student Success, said. The location of
the meetings was being negotiated, but she said "nine times out of 10 they will probably be in Lawrence." Roney said she hoped there could be a gathering of the entire association during Family Weekend every year.
Jennifer Honeycutt, Topeka freshman, said she was opposed to a parent association being formed because parents try to take too big a role in their college student's lives.
She said her parents were too pushy for her to handle. She refused to let them help her move in this year because she didn't want them interfering with her

The Department of Student Housing receives regular calls from parents who are curious about housing contracts and roommates, Robertson said. But the department cannot share any of this information with parents who have students older than 18. The parent association would help parents play a bigger role in students' lives.
"Parents want to help their students navigate campus," Robertson said.

Fans to donate to victims

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Fans are encouraged to bring their dollars to the Louisiana Tech game on Saturday to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The "Bring a Buck to the Game" promotion hopes to raise at least $10,000 for the victims, said Anton Bengston, Center for Community Outreach co-director.
Student athletes, coaches athletic department staff and student volunteers will be at donation stations at each of the 14 entrances at Memorial Stadium. Volunteers will also
collect donations from tailgating areas near the stadium at 4:30 p.m. Donations will be collected at entrance gates until 6:15 p.m.
"This is an excellent way to underscore our efforts to aid the hurricane victims," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director. "We know our generous fans will do what they can to help."
Fundraising efforts at the first football game against Florida Atlantic raised $1,200 and $1,500 at the Appalachian State game.
The Center for Community Outreach has been working with the Kansas Athletics Department, Concerned Active
and Aware Students and the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross to raise funds for hurricane victims.
Fundraising relief across campus has been organized by "Jayhawks Band Together: Katrina Relief," which includes University students, organizations and departments.
The volunteer effort requires 70 people to collect donations at the game. Individuals interested in volunteering are asked to meet at 3:45 p.m. behind the video board at the south end of the stadium. Volunteers will receive a free ticket to the game and a Kansas football T-shirt in recognition of their efforts.
"This game presents the perfect opportunity for a successful fundraising effort because of our exceptional base of student volunteers and the fact that we're playing a team from the devastated area." Bengston said. "We're doing all we can as a University, so now it's up to the fans."
The Athletics Department announced earlier this month that it had made a $10,000 donation to the hurricane relief effort.

Nominee's confirmation appears secure
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Chief Justice nominee John Roberts said Thursday there is no room for ideologues on the Supreme Court, declaring an "obligation to the Constitution" and to no other cause as he concluded three grueling days of confirmation testimony.
"If the Constitution says that the little guy should win, the little guy's going to win in court before me," Roberts told the Senate Judiciary Committee. "But if the Constitution says that the big guy should win, well, then the big guy's going to win."
then the big guy. Roberts' confirmation as successor to the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist appears secure, the only question is the size of his vote total and in particular his Democratic support. The Judiciary Committee is to vote its recommendation next week.
Roberts' views on abortion — and whether he would vote to overturn a landmark 1973 ruling on the issue hung uncertainly over the hearings from beginning to end. "That's the big speculative question," summed up Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and the committee chairman moments after he declared the proceedings closed.

and former Reagan administration lawyer to take his seat on the opening day of the court's term on Oct. 3.

In his testimony earlier in the week, Roberts said he believed the Constitution provides a right to privacy. But he offered no hint on how he would come down on the abortion issue, which is expected to come before the court in the coming year.
Despite pressure from civil rights and other liberal groups to oppose the nomination, some Democrats who questioned Roberts closely said they remained undecided.

SOCIAL WELFARE
Help available for violence victims
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Casey Spencer and the School of Social Welfare are trying to help victims of domestic violence, for the first time, use an array of services Lawrence offers.
"There are a lot of services people can get in Lawrence," Spencer said. "My job is to help people connect to resources in Douglas County and Lawrence."
Spencer, Melvern graduate student, works as an intern in the Douglas County District Attorney's office seven hours a week, to provide domestic violence victims with shelter, mental health and disability services. Spencer will help victims take advantage of Lawrence's various services, allowing the District Attorney's office to better prosecute defendants in domestic violence cases.
Kris Matthews, assistant director of field education at the School of Social Welfare, met with representatives from Women's Transitional Care Services and prosecutors at the district attorney's office in June 2005 to start the intern program.
Eve Kemple, assistant district attorney, prosecutes domestic violence cases. More

contact with victims is needed than in other cases, Kemple said.
"Any crime that involves an injury, and where the defendant and victim know each other, requires more attention," she said.
Kemple said Charles Branson, Douglas County District Attorney, campaigned on giving more attention to domestic violence. The office needed Spencer's help because of the high volume of domestic violence cases.
Kemple charges between five and 10 domestic battery misdemeanors a week, she said. That doesn't include felony charges, which she handles, but does not charge, she said.
Shay O'Brien, field instructor at Women's Transitional Care Services, said
that prosecutors often experience victims who fail to make it through trials because of mental health or a fallout they have had in their lives.
The office came to the WTCS asking for help, she said.
"They needed somebody who could focus on the needs of victims," O'Brien said. "They're just working on winning the case."
O'Brien said Spencer would soon be involved in making sure that victims are connected with services that provide money for rent, mental health services, shelter and whatever else the women need to endure a trial.
Spencer will also help victims fill out forms relating to protection orders, which prevent perpetrators of domestic violence from contacting the victims, O'Brien said.
Spencer works at the WTCS seven hours per week and undergoes training six hours per week at the University, she said.
O'Brien said that the internship could become a paid position if everything goes well.
After completing the training in a couple of weeks, Spencer will be able to work more closely with victims, she said.

Accused man faces six counts of first-degree murder
Hunter slayings trial proceeds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAYWARD, Wis. - A Hmong man accused of killing six hunters and wounding two others said yesterday he feared for his life when he was confronted for trespassing.
As he stood in the witness stand, Vang pretended he had a rifle in his arms and detailed the order in which he shot them. He said he reloaded the gun twice.
Two survivors of the shootings testified earlier that no shots were fired at Vang before he started shooting.
Chai Soua Vang, who came to the United States from Laos more than 20 years ago, said he began shooting after he thought one of the hunters shot at him and the others were going for more guns.
The 36-year-old truck driver from St. Paul, Minn., is charged with six counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. He faces mandatory life in prison if convicted.
yesterday, Vang said he was lost in the isolated Sawyer County woods Nov. 21, found a tree stand he thought was on public property and climbed into it to get the lay of the
land. He said Terry Willers approached him and told him he was on private property and should climb down.
and shot. As he walked away, Vang said he heard all-terrain vehicles in the distance, and moved faster because he thought they were coming after him. One soon pulled in front of him and another behind him, he said.
Vang said Robert Crotteau and his son got off one ATV, and Crotteau swore at him, used racial slurs and asked whether he knew he was trespassing.
"I did what I had to do to defend myself. I would do what I had to do to stay alive."
Chai Soua Vang
Accused
"I thought they were going to beat me or something," Vang said.
Vang said he kept trying to walk away, then looked back and saw Willers take the rifle off his shoulder and point it at him.
He said he dropped to his right and heard a shot. He saw dirt kick up from the ground about 40 feet in front of him
"In my mind, he shot at me and missed," Vang said.
Vang said he quickly removed the scope from his rifle and shot Willers twice.
"I started charging." he said.
Vang said everyone else began to scatter, and he thought they were going for what looked like a gun case on the back of one of the ATVs.
Under cross-examination by Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager. Vang was asked if each victim deserved to die. She held up a photo of each person as she asked the question.
Vang answered "no" in some cases and "yes" in others.
Asked about Crotteau, who witnesses have said initiated the angry confrontation in the woods, Vang said, "He is the one that confront me the first time and yell at me and call me names. That is who he is."
He repeated his explanation for his actions.
"I did what I had to do to defend myself. I would do what I had to do to stay alive," he said.
Heacknownedged he acted out of anger as well as fear.
"Yes, I was angry and I was scared, not as much angry as scared," he said.
Before he took the stand. Vang spoke in his native language to the relatives seated behind him in the courtroom.
Tears ran down his cheeks, and his voice quivered as he rubbed his hands together.
Closing arguments were scheduled for today, when the case could go to the jury.

CNN, NBC to open New Orleans bases
DAVID BAUDER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expecting that the Hurricane Katrina recovery will be a big story for months to come, both NBC and CNN said Thursday they are opening full-time news bureaus in New Orleans.
NBC News said its bureau will operate out of space at WDSU-TV, its local affiliate, and will help the network and MSNBC originate shows in the city. Brian Williams anchored the "NBC Nightly News" from there on Thursday in advance of President Bush's speech.
"This is not a flash in the pan," acting NBC News President Steve Capus said. "This is going to go into the next year."
Frieda Morris, current chief of NBC's Atlanta bureau who has been living out of a trailer in Biloxi, Miss., since the storm, will be in charge of the New Orleans bureau. NBC had no immediate details on how many people will staff the operation.

its news.
"The story of the devastating wrath of Hurricane Katrina will unfold for years to come as the coast recovers and rebuilds," said CNN/US president Jonathan Klein. "CNN will be there to cover that story, and New Orleans will be a critical base of operations for us for a long time."
The irony is television news divisions have spent much of the past decades shutting domestic and international bureaus to save money.
The announcements also bothered their rivals, who said they also had large numbers of people working in New Orleans. ABC News, for example, said it was moving into a more permanent work space in New Orleans. CBS News said it had 200 people in the region at the height of the story.

HURRICANE KATRINA
Bush addresses disaster
President Bush speaks to the nation from Jackson Square in the French Quarter section of New Orleans. In his address last night, Bush acknowledged that his administration had failed to respond adequately to Hurricane Katrina Across five Gulf Coast states,the death toll climbed yesterday to 794.
TERENCE HUNT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — President Bush promised last night that the government will pay most of the costs of rebuilding the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast in one of the largest reconstruction projects the world has ever seen. "There is no way to imagine America without New Orleans, and this great city will rise again," the president said.
He also said a disaster on the scale of Katrina requires greater federal authority and a broader role for the armed forces.
Standing in Jackson Square in the heart of the French Quarter, Bush acknowledged his administration had failed to respond adequately to Hurricane Katrina, which killed hundreds of people across five states. The government's costs for rebuilding could reach $200 billion or beyond.
The president said he had ordered the Department of Homeland Security to undertake an immediate review of emergency plans in every major city in America.
beyond.
Bush described the hurricane's aftermath as "days of sorrow and outrage," and he said the nation had "witnessed the kind of desperation no citizen of this great and generous nation should ever have to know." He deplored scenes of victims calling out for food and water, criminals who had no mercy, and bodies of the dead lying uncovered in the street.
Bush said the suffering of victims was tempered by acts of courage and kindness by the Coast Guard and other rescue workers. To the hundreds of thousands of

are not alone. Promising better days ahead, Bush said, "The streets of Biloxi and Gulfport will again be filled with lovely homes and the sound of children playing. The churches of Alabama will have their broken steeples mended and their congregations whole.
"And here in New Orleans, the street cars will once again rumble down St. Charles, and the passionate soul of a great city will return."
Bush faced the nation at a vulnerable point in his presidency. Most Americans disapprove of his handling of Katrina, and his job-approval rating has been dragged down
to the lowest point of his presidency also because of dissatisfaction with the Iraq war and rising gas prices. He has struggled to demonstrate the same take-charge leadership he displayed after the Sept. 11 terror attacks four years ago.
attacks four years later.
Across five Gulf Coast states,
the death toll from Katrina climbed
yesterday to 794, led by 558 in
Louisiana.
Faulting the government's response, Bush said that Katrina "was not a normal hurricane — and the normal disaster relief system was not equal to it." State officials have blamed the federal government for failing to respond more quickly, and federal officials have pointed fingers at state and local officials.

Westar execs to repay company
COURTS
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal jury on Thursday ordered two former Westar Energy Inc. executives found guilty of looting the utility to hand over millions of dollars in cash and assets linked to their crimes — but much less than federal prosecutors had sought.
Following a day of deliberations, jurors told former chief executive David Wittig to hand over his Topeka home, the historic Landon Mansion, thousands of shares of stocks, a life insurance policy and $9.7 million in bonuses and other payments made while working at the Topeka-based utility.
His co-defendant, former chief strategy officer Douglas Lake of New Canaan, Conn., was ordered to turn over $2.5 million in stock dividends and sales, as well as several thousand stock shares.
Both men also must forfeit any award they receive from an ongoing arbitration fight they're
"We're obviously still disappointed in the main verdict and will vigorously appeal that to the 10th Circuit (Court of Appeals)."
Attorney for Douglas Lake
Edward Little
having with Westar over pay and benefits they say the company still owes them.
Prosecutions had asked the two men to forfeit all the salary and benefits they had received before being forced out of the company in late 2002, which came to $27.9 million from Wittig and $9.4 million from Lake.
Lake's attorney, Edward Little, said he considered the verdict a "win" for his client.
U. S. Attorney Eric Melgren, whose office prosecuted the case, had little comment on the verdict, beyond commending attorneys and investigators
in the case.
"We're obviously still disappointed in the main verdict and will vigorously appeal that to the 10th Circuit (Court of Appeals)." Little said. "At least the jury (on the forfeiture charge) didn't go overboard and didn't believe the government's argument that everything was a fraud."
everything was at Wittig's attorney, Adam Hoffinger, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The same jury convicted Wittig on Monday of 39 counts, including a count of conspiracy, seven counts of wire fraud, 14 counts of circumventing internal controls and 17 counts of money laundering while running Westar.
Lake was found guilty of 30 counts, including one count of conspiracy, six counts of wire fraud, 13 counts of circumventing internal controls and 10 counts of money laundering. Lake was acquitted of seven counts of money laundering.
one count of circumventing internal controls and one count of wire fraud.
U. S. District Judge Julie Robinson on Thursday scheduled their sentencing for Jan. 9.
They face up to five years each for the conspiracy count, 10 years for each count of circumventing internal controls, 20 years for each count of wire fraud and 10 years for each count of money laundering.
Prosecutors said the men engaged in a number of schemes aimed at inflating their compensation and then hiding it from the company's board of directors and shareholders.
tors and shackles Following the trial, the jury had to consider a final count of forfeiting any property linked to the crimes, which required its own hearing. During that two-day hearing, prosecutors argued that Wittig and Lake had joined Westar with the intention of looting it, meaning everything they had received while at the company should be considered ill-gotten goods and surrendered to the government.
New Orleans begins to 'breathe' again
BY BRETT MARTEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Ray Nagin announced yesterday that large sections of the city will reopen next week, and the historic French Quarter the week after that. "The city of New Orleans will start to breathe again," he said.
safe. The announcement came amid progress in restoring power and water service and the day after the release of government tests showing that the floodwaters still contain dangerous bacteria and industrial chemicals, but that the air is safe to breathe.
residents will be Algiers, across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter, on Monday, the mayor said. The city's Uptown area, which includes Tulane University and the Garden District, will be reopened in stages next Wednesday and Friday, he said.
The French Quarter will follow on Sept. 26.
The first section to reopen to
low on Sept. 18.
"The French Quarter is high and dry, and we feel as though it has good electricity capabilities," the mayor said, "but since it's so historic, we want to double- and triple-check before we fire up all electricity in there to make sure that, because every building is so close, that if a fire breaks out, we won't lose a
significant amount of what we cherish in this city"
The reopened areas represent 182,000 residents out of a city of nearly half a million.
nearly half a million.
"We will have life. We will have commerce. We will have people getting into their normal modes of operations, and the normal rhythm of the city of New Orleans that is so unique," the mayor said. He added: "It's a good day in New Orleans. The sun is shining. ... We're going to bring this city back."
Nagin said there should be power in areas where people would be allowed back. But the water would be good only for flushing toilets, not for drinking and bathing, he said.
The mayor said major retailers would use the city's Convention Center to supply returning residents with food, wood and other things they would need.
The return will mark the start of what the mayor said will probably be the biggest urban reconstruction project in U.S. history.
"My gut feeling right now is that we'll settle in at 250,000 people over the next three to six months, and then we'll start to ramp up over time to the half-million we had before and maybe exceed," he said. "I imagine building a city so original, so unique that everybody's going to want to come."

Racism or bad service?
Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to Gina Ford's opinion column, "On the Street Where You Live," I completely agree that racial issues are as important today as because equal opportunity for all people is not yet fully realized in this country. I know that individuals of all minorities still experience prejudice in their daily lives. I've seen it firsthand, read and heard personal accounts.
I believe that all people, no matter what race, nationality, faith, sexual orientation, etc., deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I try to, therefore, treat everyone with the same respect and kindness.
What I have to say is in no way meant to invalidate the experiences of certain columnists, or any other individuals. I merely wish to augment these accounts with some of my own personal experiences.
s and ansan
Sometimes I encounter individuals who are quick to assume that I wish the worst for them or that I am treating them unfairly. When I used to work as a server in a restaurant, I would from time to time be seated with African-American guests who treated me as if I had acted in a racist way towards them.
PAGE 7A
them.
I do not mean to say that all African-American guests acted in this way, merely that certain guests who were African-American attributed their under-par experience to racism and directed resentment and hostility towards me.
Sometimes this was due to something like waiting a long time for their food, something I had little control over when the cooks were running a little behind. Sometimes this was due to something I had personally done, such as accidentally set their place with a dirty piece of silverware, something that was definitely due to my lack of diligence, but certainly not intentional and not something which only happened to African-American guests.
American gallant. In times like these, I was often met with mistrust, anger or rudeness. And I understand why, because if someone believes that one has been treated unfairly because of race, nationality, religion, etc., it is natural to feel upset. It is natural to feel angry.
But what I would like to know is where does one make the distinction between a racist act and just bad circumstances or coincidences? What I mean to say is, bad things happen to people regardless of race or any other characteristic.
adversity.
Ford writes in her column that there are some "acts of racism" which are "unintentional." What does this mean?
That the intentions of a person have no bearing on whether he or she acts in a racist manner? That all unfortunate events that befall a person of a "racial minority," whether they happen intentionally or unintentionally, are racist acts?
acts?
As I mentioned previously, I in no way mean to discredit any individuals' experiences, as I do understand that racist acts happen everyday. And most certainly something needs to be done about these issues.

It seems to me that occasionally certain experiences attributed to racism, though they are unpleasant and unfortunate, have little or nothing to do with racism.
Don't forget your handcuffs
This past spring break, I had the opportunity to spend a week in London. While there, one of my fellow students proved to be quite curious about the basics of BDSM.
I quickly spent time thinking of lists of possible activities that one could involve in a BDSM relationship, but never actually presented any information about the practice and how to decide if further consideration was warranted for that individual.
Throughout the next few months, remembering that my column is every other Friday, I will explore the topic of BDSM and fetishes. I do not do this to shock or push limits.
This is the most important thing to keep in mind. With this in mind, there is need to define a few other terms. The Dominant (commonly spelled with an uppercase "D"), also known as a Top, Master, Mistress, Dom (male), or Domme (female), is the partner who gains enjoyment from a partner's "surrender of control," according to
JAMIE EPSTEIN
acaster@kansan.com
There are many students on this campus who have engaged in light bondage, possibly involving handcuffs, and equally light discipline, including OTK (over the knee) spanking. Esteemed psychologist, Alfred Kinsey, found that there was nothing normal or average about human sexuality and it was with that in mind that I present my introduction to BDSM.
"BDSM" is a combination of the following: "B&D" (Bondage & Discipline), "Ds" (Dominance & Submission), and "S&M" (sadomasochism). While different people incorporate diverse aspects into sexual play, consent is obviously a must in all encounters. It is consent that separates BDSM from rape and abuse
www.sensuoussadie.com. At times the Dominant is also referred to as a Sadist (someone who derives pleasure from causing another pain), but does not have to be one in the same.
A submissive (or sub or bottom) is the Dominant's counterpart, or one who gains enjoyment from surrendering control (to some degree), and is often considered to be a masochist (someone who derives pleasure from pain), but does not have to be.
There are two other common categories of roles within the BDSM community. The first is the switch. The switch is drawn to find excitement as both a Dominant as well as a submissive. The slave is another role that has some contention behind it's meaning.
While simply put, a slave is a type of submissive, that does not fully encompass the definition. While there is much debate about the differences between a slave and a submissive, I shall try to explain it as I have understood it myself, but remember that many writers on the subject have different variations and that you should feel free to find what works best for you.
That being said, a submissive still retains some rights and power over one's self, especially because they have not given themselves up to another to be owned as property. Slaves are "owned", having entered a contract of their own free will to such and having given personal power over to a Master
or Mistress. Again, I feel the need to stress consent, and also point out that any contract between a Dominant and submissive should be considered only based off the type of relationship sought, and that like any relationship should not be rushed into.
rushed into.
The last two terms that are in need of definition are "bondage" and "discipline." As stated in the beginning, these are the two aspects of BDSM most explored by the average person and can range from fairly vanilla (which by the way refers to someone/thing not of the BDSM community) to intense.
mily to intensify Sexuality.org's BDSM Handbook says that sociologist Charles Moser estimates that "erotic restraint" has been used by 10 percent of the population at a minimum.
Discipline can involve anything from OTK spanking, to being forced to stand in a corner, or some more severe example. Often this is used by a Dom to train or punish a sub for behavior previously determined as inappropriate.
And yet again, I stress the importance of consent in these situations and that if there is a question as to whether an action is BDSM or abuse, one should discuss with one's partner to see how each person views this action so that no one suffers from actual physical or emotional mistreatment.
This information, while new to some, and yet a review to others, will hopefully provide hours of enjoyment for those who choose to utilize it. May all your sexual encounters be "safe, sane and consensual." Enjoy, and have fun.

Who can respect someone who calls a number to purely make cynical comments? Fraternities are not for everyone, but they are for some.
Every time I read the Free for All, someone is given space to make comments about a fictitious Greek house called "Rhombus." This someone most likely has no life or nothing better to do.
THE MAX FACTOR
or? The loser himself.
I personally guarantee that if you saw a fraternity guy walking down the street, you would not say these comments to his face. So, if you cannot say it to a person's face, then it does not need to be said at all.
Why did they get bottles and I got a cup?
Hey man, there's water everywhere.
GOVI. AID
but they are no need to be hateful. At least they're a part of something. What are you apart of? The loser hotline?
What's worse is that this person is blasting something that they probably have never been a part of and most likely know nothing about.
Next time you try to blast a group of people, at least have the guts put your name behind it.
P. S. I expect you guys to say something in the Free for All tomorrow about me, but just stand up for what you got to say and I will respect that.

Whoever it is trying to blast the greek community.
I was a member of the greek community for two years and then last year decided to get out. I did not fit in with the majority of the whole fraternity people: an upper class white male, which wears collared shirts and drinks beer.
Do not be a little coward and call Free for All and try to act funny, because you are no Dave Chapelle. Honestly, no one cares what you have to say. Listen to the T.I. song, "Stand Up," and then get back to me.
I am from Chicago Heights, my father is a retired firefighter and my mom works at a hospital in Englewood, for all you who don't know, that is housing project.
My family is not wealthy, I don't wear collared shirts, and I'm know I won't be rich unless I earn it for myself.
But I still refrain from making negative comments about fraternities, and yes, I said
2
fraternities, not frats, because that word has a negative connotation.
Some of my best friends are in fraternity chapters and I have the utmost respect for all of them. Their lifestyle does not harm anyone.
One day, you are going to realize it is more important to be respected than liked.

Westar execs to repay company
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal jury on Thursday ordered two former Westar Energy Inc. executives found guilty of looting the utility to hand over millions of dollars in cash and assets linked to their crimes but much less than federal prosecutors had sought.
prosecution.
Following a day of deliberations, jurors told former chief executive David Wittig to hand over his Topeka home, the historic Landon Mansion, thousands of shares of stocks, a life insurance policy and $9.7 million in bonuses and other payments made while working at the Topeka-based utility.
His co-defendant, former chief strategy officer Douglas Lake of New Canaan, Conn., was ordered to turn over $2.5 million in stock dividends and sales, as well as several thousand stock shares.
Both men also must forfeit any award they receive from an ongoing arbitration fight they're

prosecutors had asked the two men to forfeit all the salary and benefits they had received before being forced out of the company in late 2002, which came to $27.9 million from Wittig and $9.4 million from Lake.
U. S. Attorney Eric Melgen, whose office prosecuted the case, had little comment on the verdict, beyond commending attorneys and investigators

"We obviously still disappointed in the main verdict and will vigorously appeal that to the 10th Circuit (Court of Appeals)," Little said. "At least the jury (on the forfeiture charge) didn't go overboard and didn't believe the government's argument that everything was a fraud."
Wittig's attorney, Adam Hoffinger, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The same jury convicted Wittig on Monday of 39 counts, including a count of conspiracy, seven counts of wire fraud, 14 counts of circumventing internal controls and 17 counts of money laundering while running Westar.
Lake was found guilty of 30 counts, including one count of conspiracy, six counts of wire fraud, 13 counts of circumventing internal controls and 10 counts of money laundering. Lake was acquitted of seven counts of money laundering,
one count of circumventing internal controls and one count of wire fraud.
U. S. District Judge Julie Robinson on Thursday scheduled their sentencing for Jan. 9.

During that two-day hearing, prosecutors argued that Wittig and Lake had joined Westar with the intention of looting it, meaning everything they had received while at the company should be considered ill-gotten goods and surrendered to the government.
Prosecutors said the men engaged in a number of schemes aimed at inflating their compensation and then hiding it from the company's board of directors and shareholders.
New Orleans begins to 'breathe again
BY BRETT MARTEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS - Mayor Ray Nagin announced yesterday that large sections of the city will reopen next week, and the historic French Quarter the week after that. "The city of New Orleans will start to breathe again," he said.
sure. The announcement came amid progress in restoring power and water service and the day after the release of government tests showing that the floodwaters still contain dangerous bacteria and industrial chemicals, but that the air is safe to breathe.
residents will be Algiers, across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter, on Monday, the mayor said. The city's Uptown area, which includes Tulane University and the Garden District, will be reopened in stages next Wednesday and Friday, he said.
The first section to reopen to
said. The French Quarter will follow on Sept. 26.
"The French Quarter is high and dry, and we feel as though it has good electricity capabilities," the mayor said, "but since it's so historic, we want to double- and triple-check before we fire up all electricity in there to make sure that, because every building is so close, that if a fire breaks out, we won't lose a
significant amount of what we cherish in this city."
The reopened areas represent 182,000 residents out of a city of nearly half a million.
"We will have life. We will have commerce. We will have people getting into their normal modes of operations, and the normal rhythm of the city of New Orleans that is so unique," the mayor said. He added: "It's a good day in New Orleans. The sun is shining. We're going to bring this city back."
Nagin said there should be power in areas where people would be allowed back. But the water would be good only for flushing toilets, not for drinking and bathing, he said.
The mayor said major retailers would use the city's Convention Center to supply returning residents with food, wood and other things they would need.
other things. The return will mark the start of what the mayor said will probably be the biggest urban reconstruction project in U.S. history.
"My gut feeling right now is that we'll settle in at 250,000 people over the next three to six months, and then we'll start to ramp up over time to the half-million we had before and maybe exceed," he said. "I imagine building a city so original, so unique that everybody's going to want to come."

Racism or bad service?
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to Gina Ford's opinion column, "On the Street Where You Live." I completely agree that racial issues are as important today as because equal opportunity for all people is not yet fully realized in this country. I know that individuals of all minorities still experience prejudice in their daily lives. I've seen it firsthand, read and heard personal accounts.
PAGE 7A
What I have to say is in no way meant to invalidate the experiences of certain columnists, or any other individuals. I merely wish to augment these accounts with some of my own personal experiences.
ences.
I believe that all people, no matter what race, nationality, faith, sexual orientation, etc., deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. I try to, therefore, treat everyone with the same respect and kindness.
Sometimes I encounter individuals who are quick to assume that I wish the worst for them or that I am treating them unfairly. When I used to work as a server in a restaurant, I would from time to time be seated with African-Amer-
ed by s and insan
ican guests who treated me as if I had acted in a racist way towards them.
them. I do not mean to say that all African-American guests acted in this way, merely that certain guests who were African-American attributed their under-par experience to racism and directed resentment and hostility towards me.
American girl.
In times like these, I was often met with mistrust, anger or rudeness. And I understand why, because if someone believes that one has been treated unfairly because of race, nationality, religion, etc., it is natural to feel upset. It is natural to feel angry.
and hostages.
Sometimes this was due to something like waiting a long time for their food, something I had little control over when the cooks were running a little behind. Sometimes this was due to something I had personally done, such as accidentally set their place with a dirty piece of silverware, something that was definitely due to my lack of diligence, but certainly not intentional and not something which only happened to African-American guests.
But what I would like to know is where does one make the distinction between a racist act and just bad circumstances or coincidences? What I mean to say is, bad things happen to people regardless of race or any other characteristic.
Ford writes in her column that there are some "acts of racism" which are "unintentional." What does this mean?
does this mean
That the intentions of a person have no bearing on whether he or she acts in a racist manner? That all unfortunate events that befall a person of a "racial minority," whether they happen intentionally or unintentionally, are racist acts?
As I mentioned previously, I in no way mean to discredit any individuals' experiences, as I do understand that racist acts happen everyday. And most certainly, something needs to be done about these issues.
It seems to me that occasionally certain experiences attributed to racism, though they are unpleasant and unfortunate, have little or nothing to do with racism.

Don't forget your handcuffs
This past spring break, I had the opportunity to spend a week in London. While there, one of my fellow students proved to be quite curious about the basics of BDSM.
I quickly spent time thinking of lists of possible activities that one could involve in a BDSM relationship, but never actually presented any information about the practice and how to decide if further consideration was warranted for that individual.
Throughout the next few months, remembering that my column is every other Friday, I will explore the topic of BDSM and fetishes. I do not do this to shock or push limits.
P. G. L. A.
struck or punish me. There are many students on this campus who have engaged in light bondage, possibly involving handcuffs, and equally light discipline, including OTK (over the knee) spanking. Esteemed psychologist, Alfred Kinsey, found that there was nothing normal or average about human sexuality and it was with that in mind that I present my introduction to BDSM.
This is the most important thing to keep in mind. With this in mind, there is need to define a few other terms. The Dominant (commonly spelled with an uppercase "D") also known as a Top, Master, Mistress, Dom (male), or Domme (female), is the partner who gains enjoyment from a partner's "surrender of control," according to
"BDSM" is a combination of the following: "B&D" (Bondage & Discipline), "Ds" (Dominance & Submission), and "S&M" (sadomasochism). While different people incorporate diverse aspects into sexual play, consent is obviously a must in all encounters. It is consent that separates BDSM from rape and abuse.
JAMIE EPSTEIN acaster@kansan.com
www.sensuoussadie.com. At times the Dominant is also referred to as a Sadist (someone who derives pleasure from causing another pain), but does not have to be one in the same.
A submissive (or sub or bottom) is the Dominant's counterpart, or one who gains enjoyment from surrendering control (to some degree), and is often considered to be a masochist (someone who derives pleasure from pain), but does not have to be.
While simply put, a slave is a type of submissive, that does not fully encompass the definition. While there is much debate about the differences between a slave and a submissive, I shall try to explain it as I have understood it myself, but remember that many writers on the subject have different variations and that you should feel free to find what works best for you.
There are two other common categories of roles within the BDSM community. The first is the switch. The switch is drawn to find excitement as both a Dominant as well as a submissive. The slave is another role that has some contention behind it's meaning.
That being said, a submissive still retains some rights and power over one's self, especially because they have not given themselves up to another to be owned as property. Slaves are "owned", having entered a contract of their own free will to such and having given personal power over to a Master
or Mistress. Again, I feel the need to stress consent, and also point out that any contract between a Dominant and submissive should be considered only based off the type of relationship sought, and that like any relationship should not be rushed into.
The last two terms that are in need of definition are "bondage" and "discipline." As stated in the beginning, these are the two aspects of BDSM most explored by the average person and can range from fairly vanilla (which by the way refers to someone/thing not of the BDSM community) to intense.
Discipline can involve anything from OTK spanking, to being forced to stand in a corner, or some more severe example. Often this is used by a Dom to train or punish a sub for behavior previously determined as inappropriate.
nity) to increase Sexuality.org's BDSM Handbook says that sociologist Charles Moser estimates that "erotic restraint" has been used by 10 percent of the population at a minimum.
And yet again, I stress the importance of consent in these situations and that if there is a question as to whether an action is BDSM or abuse, one should discuss with one's partner to see how each person views this action so that no one suffers from actual physical or emotional mistreatment.
This information, while new to some, and yet a review to others, will hopefully provide hours of enjoyment for those who choose to utilize it. May all your sexual encounters be "safe, sane and consensual." Enjoy, and have fun.

I was a member of the greek community for two years and then last year decided to get out. I did not fit in with the majority of the whole fraternity people: an upper class white male, which wears collared shirts and drinks beer.

My family is not wealthy. I don't wear collared shirts, and I'm know I won't be rich unless I earn it for myself.
But I still refrain from making negative comments about fraternities, and yes, I said
fraternities, not frats, because that word has a negative connotation.
One day,you are going to realize it is more important to be respected than liked.

Fresh off defeat, Kansas prepares for University of California-Irvine

With just one week left before Big 12 Conference play kicks off, No. 24 Kansas will take on the University of California-Irvine at 5 p.m. at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
This will be the second time since September of 2000 that the Jayhawks (3-2-1) will face the Anteaters (1-4-1).
Fresh off of a tough loss to Pepperdine last Sunday, Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said he knew the significance of tonight's match up.
toughness this weekend is going to be huge, especially after losing," Francis said. "In a game where we were ahead, then behind, we tied it back up, and then we lost — this one has to be big."
The Anteaters fell into a losing skid after going winless in the Nike/Holiday Inn Invitational they hosted last weekend. UC-Irvine tied Colombia 0-0 a week ago and lost 2-0 to San Diego State last Sunday.
UC-Irvine didn't record a shot on goal against SDSU.
When the team does score,
it's junior midfielder Britney
Webster leading the way. Webster leads the UC-Irvine offense with seven points off three goals and one assist.

Win streak on the line

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas will look to extend its five-match winning streak tomorrow afternoon when it plays host to Big 12 Conference opponent Oklahoma at 1 p.m at the Horesei Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks have dominated the Sooners lately, beating them seven straight times. Oklahoma has not won a match in the series since 2001, and it hasn't won in Lawrence since 1997.
The Jayhawks are on an emotional high after taking care of 15th-ranked Texas A&M on Wednesday night. Kansas now stands at 9-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12 standings. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team needed to avoid a flat performance after an emotional victory over a top-ranked team.
"You always fear a let-down after a match like that," Bechard said. "If you take anybody for granted in this league, you're going to be in for a rude awakening."
Junior defensive specialist/libero Jamie Mathewson said she was not worried about a letdown.
"With any team in the Big 12, we expect a challenge."

Mathewson said. "I think we'll be able to step up our game."
The Sooners, on the other hand,
are going into the match on a down
note. Oklahoma was swept by No.
22 Kansas State in its Big 12 opener
on Wednesday. The Sooners are
5-4 on the season.
The Jayhawks and Sooners have one common opponent thus far. Both teams played against Alabama earlier in the season. The Jayhawks swept the Crimson Tide in Lawrence, while the Sooners lost to them in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
last year, Oklahoma was 12-17, its best record since 1997. The Sooners are led this year by junior outside hitter Joanna Schmitt. Schmidt was named to the preseason all-Big 12 team after averaging 4.09 kills per game last season, which was ninth in the conference. Overall, the Sooners return five
starters from last year's squad. They will also add two-time junior college All-American Ellane Santos on the court. Santos transferred from the College of Southern Idaho.
On the bench, Oklahoma is led by second-year coach Santiago Restrepo. He went to the Sooners after he successfully turned Southern Mississippi into a solid program. The Golden Eagles' 27-6 season in 2003 was an 18-win improvement from his first season.
Beachard said he thought the Sooners had their program headed in the right direction.
athy. He's very composed. Bechard said Kansas still has a lot of things to work on despite its good play. The Jayhawks serving, for instance, was subpar against Texas A&M. They had only two aces against 12 errors.
"Santiago has done a great job," Bechard said. "He works extremely hard. I think the team takes on a little bit of his personality. He's very competitive."
Bechard said he expected the Sooners to be a much-improved team and to put up a tough fight against Kansas.
"Their talent level has changed dramatically," Bechard said. "I think their results will, too."

The road to Omaha in college baseball is never an easy one. For the Kansas baseball team, that road will be especially difficult.
"It's a very difficult schedule," Kansas baseball coach Rich Price said. "Probably, without question, the toughest schedule in Kansas history. But I think we've made the kind of progress with our program where we're ready to play that type of schedule."
The Jayhawks begin the regular season with a 14-game road trip that starts with a five-game series against the University of Hawaii-Hilo, a team that managed only six victories all of last season.
"When we go to Hawaii, it's all about business, it's about getting better and it's about getting
Despite Hawaii-Hilo's poor record from last season and the numerous attractions of "The Big Island," Matt Baty, senior outfielder, said the team goes there to concentrate on baseball.

The race for the Big 12 North still looks wide open.
Big 12 teams on the move
Oh wait, that's actually happened. You heard it here first, Baylor vs. Texas for the right to go to Houston. Okay, maybe not, but one thing is still certain.
Oklahoma lost to TCU and barely got by Tulsa. What's next? Will Baylor have an undefeated record and be ahead of the Sooners in the standings?
Iowa State is for real and will be a contender for the North title that it choked away last year.
So far, no one in the north division has looked impressive, except for Iowa State. The Cyclones' shocking blowout of the then No. 8 Iowa Hawkeyes not only gave the often-overlooked Cyclones their sweetest victory in a long time but also catapulted them into the top 25.
The Cyclones always seem to falter as the season goes along, though, so don't label them as the favorite just yet.
year.
But, in some way, this was expected. Okay, maybe not the whipping that Iowa State handed its more glamorous in-state rival, but definitely the respect that it's receiving now.
Factor in that Nebraska still hasn't looked impressive. The Cormhuskers' sloppy performance against the Black Bears and offensive struggles against the Demon Deacons gives reason to believe that the Jay hawks will have a shot at sweet vindication, when the "Corn" comes a-calling on November 5th.
Colorado is doing what it does: It's just lurking around. The Buffaloes will never look that impressive, but with a coach like Gary Barnett, they'll never lose much either.

Then there's Missouri who is once again up to its old tricks. It lost to mighty
I hope to make New Mexico last week and faces a daunting rematch with Trov.
For the Jayhawks, the good news is that it appears it has found a starting quarterback, and the hope will be that Brian Luke continues to improve as he has done so far. Another pleasant surprise has been the emergence of a consistent run game with Clark Green and Jon Cornish.
In contrast, the Big 12 South is looking like it is Texas' division to win. Despite that, the Longhorns' much anticipated showdown with the Sooners looms, and you have to figure if the Texas doesn't win this year, then it may never beat Oklahoma.
Texas &M is still a bit of a mystery, but all signs point to its traditional day-after-Thanksgiving get together with Texas being for the South title.
If Kansas continues to consistently rush for 200 yards, Luke's job will become much easier, and he will prove to be an effective quarterback.
Factor those elements and the continued improvement of the defense, and there is finally serious potential.

Cycling controversy drives Armstrong out of Tour
The nasty tug of war between the bosses of the international cycling union and the World Anti-Doping Agency about who leaked documents accusing Lance Armstrong of doping claimed its first casualty Thursday: Any chance of a comeback by the seven-time Tour de France champion.
Armstrong, who said just days ago that this latest fight to clear his name had stoked his competitive desires, made clear yesterday he wasn't interested in returning to the sport he dominated.
"Sitting here today, dealing with all this stuff again, knowing if I were to go back, there's no way I could get a fair shake on the roadside, in doping control or the labs," Armstrong said on a late-afternoon conference call.
later afternoon, I came to "I think it's better that way" he added a moment later. "I'm happy with the way my career went and ended, and I'm not coming back."
Armstrong and his handlers spent most of the remaining 45 minutes with reporters criticizing WADA chief Dick Pound.
Pound set off another round of charges and counter-charges early yesterday by accusing cycling union boss Hein Verbruggen of supplying documents used by a French newspaper to charge that Armstrong used the blood-boosting drug EPO during his first tour win in 1999.
Armstrong, who has repeatedly denied ever using banned drugs, said he was the victim of a "witch hunt" after the report came out last month in L'Equipe, France's leading sports daily.

Brothers choose game winners
Kellis: It was a sad week for the Kansan sports staff. The best record any of us had was 7-3, and three students kicked us off the sports page.
Havis; They're Kellis; Hopefully none of us gets kicked this week. To start things off, I'm going with the undefeated Baylor Bears over the worst team in Division-I football — Army.
Travis: They were lucky.
Travis: Army won only two games last year and was destroyed by Boston College last week. Sick Em Bears.
Kellis: Speaking of Boston College, Jeffrey Gettler, who kicked the Kansan, said, "My pick of the week is Boston College over Florida State. They have the defense to

stop FSU's offense and the offense to trample over the Seminoles' weak defense."
Travis: I think that's nuts. Boston College may be at home, but Florida State, which already has a victory over Miami, has much better talent. He won't be getting his face on the sports page again with picks like that. Who else do you have?
Kellis: Well, I picked Oklahoma to defeat UCLA, but I'm not totally sold on it. The Sooners' stud running back Adrian Peterson might not play.
Travis: He's their entire offense. I'm sticking with Oklahoma based on what I know. But if Peterson doesn't play, then UCLA will win.
Kellis: The other interesting Big 12 Conference game is between Nebraska and Pittsburgh. Call me crazy, but I'm picking Panther coach
Dave Wannstedt to get his first victory of the season in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers are overrated, and Pittsburgh is desperate.
Travis: Desperate doesse tee a victory. Remember Pitt lost to lowly Ohio, and this game will be in front of that famous Nebraska crowd. Home field secures a triumph for Nebraska.
Kellis: We both agree Kansas will win, even though it might be close. The game that might be closer is Miami at Clemson. Miami is still angry about the loss to Florida State in its opener. The Hurricanes will have their revenge on the Tigers.
He said, "Unfortunately for Kansas fans, Troy is one of the two or three teams Missouri can still beat."

Travis: Clemson is 2-0 with victories against Texas A&M and at Maryland. Momentum is the key in this game. Tigers take it at home.

Travis: I agree, and so does Jesse Newell, who also kicked the Kansan.

to lose its first game to Michigan State. So let's just talk about Tennessee at Florida.
Havis. These two teams are pretty equal, but Florida has the home field and a, better coach in Urban Meyer, giving the Gators an advantage.
Kellis: I am taking Florida

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Gary Woodland followed his torrid summer play and captured the individual title in the Cleveland State Invitational in Chardon, Ohio, on Tuesday.
This marked Woodland's first tournament title of his career. He won the Kansas Amateur Match Play Championship in July.
"I have been playing well since this summer, and I am glad that I was able to get started off on the right foot," Woodland said. "It's always nice when your hard work and dedication that you put in is able to be noticed out there on the course."
Coming out of the gates with
a 67. Woodland was able to go into the second round with a stroke of confidence and a chance to play aggressively to increase his lead.
"The nice part about this past tournament was that I never put myself in a bad situation," Woodland said. "Although I didn't drive the ball as well as I would have liked, my approach shots and ability to keep the ball on the fairway allowed me to stay consistent and ahead of the field."
Woodland closed the tournament with a three-round total of 202 and finished 11-under par.
2022 and Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said he was very proud of his captain's efforts.
"Gary was clicking right out of the gate," Randall said. "He
had himself a great tournament, and it allowed other teams to see how well Gary can really play."
Kansas escaped the tournament with a ninth place finish in team play. The Jafhawks fired a three-round total of 887. Louisville won the tournament with a three-round total of 871.
Although Kansas finished in the middle of the pack, Randall said he wasn't worried.
"It was the first event, and on paper we didn't bring our A team," Randall said. "We will get going down the stretch here. We took the team that worked the hardest and that is something to be happy about. There are a lot of guys that want to make these trips and put in a lot of time."
trips and put in the Junior Tyler Docking did not play in the Cleveland State Invitational because he failed to make the cut in the preliminary round. The next tournament will be held at Alvamar Golf and Country Club in Lawrence, and a provisional rule allows all members of the team to participate.
Senior Pete Krsnich finished in a tie for 48th with a 226 three-round total. Freshman Zach Pederson shot a 234 to tie for 70th. Senior Jason Sigler shot an overall score of 238 and finished in a tie for 79th. Senior Ryan Rainer ended in a tie for 82nd after totaling a 239.
Kansas will hit the links Sept. 19-20 when it plays host to the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf and Country Club.

Royals contribute to White Sox slump
BY DOUG TUCKER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — All year long, they could do almost nothing wrong. Now, the Chicago White Sox can hardly do anything right — and they could be in trouble.
"We're playing lousy baseball on the bases, pitching, everything," manager Ozzie Guillen said Thursday after the Kansas City Royals emerged with a 7-5 win over the mistake-prone White Sox. "There's no doubt about it. We really flat-out stink. It's not the same team I've been watching all year."
Tadahito Iguchi's pinch three-run double off Andrew Sisco sliced the Royals' lead to 6-5 in the eighth, but Berroa added an RBI single in the eighth on a cool, rainy day which drew a crowd that seemed much small-
The White Sox have lost six of seven, including back-to-back setbacks against a Kansas City team that has the worst record in the majors. Their lead over Cleveland in the AL Central that stood at 9 1/2 games on Sept. 7 has shrunk to 4 1/2.
The White Sox committed two costly baserunning blunders and gave up a season-high
Chip Ambres opened the Kansas City seventh with his second double. With one out, Emil Brown chased Buehrle with an RBI single that put the Royals on top 3-2. Angel Berroa singled off reliever Luis Vizcaíno ahead of Buck's double. A walk and an infield single loaded the bases, and Vizcaíno walked in the sixth run.

April 20.
“If I named all that I'm disappointed about, we might be here all day,” Guillen said. “The entire week was disappointing. Even the game we won, I was disappointed. If we continue to play like this, good luck.”

Jermaine Dye hit a solo home run in the second inning and Carl Everett had an RBI single for a 2-0 Chicago lead. The Royals tied it the third on Brown's RBI double and a sacrifice fly by Berroa.
Mike MacDougal got the final four outs for his 19th save in 22 chances.
Carl Everett was hit by a pitch with one out in the sixth and went to third on Dye's double. But he overran the bag and was tagged out trying to get back.
Betroa In the second inning, A.J. Pierzynski singled after Dye's home run but was easily thrown out while attempting to score on Joe Crede's double.
Greinke managed to avoid becoming the major leagues' first 17-game loser.
"I got bailed out by the defense and by bad baserunning," he said. "They're playing for a lot. You can see how pumped up they are."

The returning players, along with the freshmen, will try to establish themselves on this year's squad. For the freshmen players, this will be their first look at American collegiate competitors as they face players from Missouri State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa and Wichita State.
Bukina's and Horvath's teammates and coaches are looking forward to seeing the new members in action.

Bukina, an Obninsk, Russia native, said she was ready to play with the rest of the Jayhawks this weekend. Horvath is from Budapest, Hungary.

friend for the 1-year-old. "I'm excited to see her play against girls that aren't her teammates," Hall said. "It will be a good chance to see how they bond with the other girls."
This will be a telling time not only for the freshmen, but also for the rest of the team, which will see its first team tennis action since last spring. As the returning players all know, it is important to set the tone in the first meet of the season.
"Since it's the first tournament, I just want to go play my game and get after the ball and play every point hard," junior Brittany Brown said. "I'm looking forward to playing the good teams that will be there."
Oklahoma and Tulsa ranked in the final 2005 Intercollegiate Tennis Association standings.

"We're excited to play Big 12 teams in the preseason. It's going to be a good one for all of us." Hall said.
Elizaveta Avdeeva takes a swing at the ball. The tennis team will participate in a tournament against players from Missouri State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa and Wichita State this weekend. Senior Christine Skoda said she expected a lot from her new teammates.
The team will return to practice Sept. 19 to prepare for its next competition in Bloomington, Ind.

the Stanford series because Quick had just transferred from Stanford. Price said that wouldn't be the case this season.
"Now that he has been with us a year and has been in our program,he will definitely play," Price said.
In addition to Stanford and USC, Kansas will play eight other teams that made the NCAA Tournament last season. Of those 10 teams, five hail from the Big 12.
Three of which, Baylor Nebraska and Texas, reached the College World Series, and Texas ultimately won the championship.
Jared Schweitzer, senior first baseman, was excited by the caliber of Kansas' opponents, especially Clemson, another team that made the NCAA Tournament last season. The Jayhawks rarely play teams from the Southeastern Conference.
"It should be fun to go to a
SEC school and see how good they are," Schweitzer said.
Another non-conference opponent of particular interest to the Jayhawks is in-state rival, Wichita State. Baty, a Wichita native, always looks
forward to playing in his hometown, but also emphasized the impact this season series has on the Kansas baseball program as a whole.
"When we play Wichita State, it's a huge rival for me, and not only me, but for the team as well because it's a recruiting battle between the two teams," he said.
Of all the big games on the Jayhawks' schedule, the Texas series was the one Baty was looking forward to the most.

OBITUARY
Oscar winner dies at 91
BY BOB THOMAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Robert Wise, who won four Oscars as producer and director of the classic 1960s musicals "West Side Story" and "The Sound of Music," has died. He was 91.
Wise died Wednesday of heart failure after falling ill and being rushed to the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center, family friend and longtime entertainment agent Lawrence Mirisch told The Associated Press.
Mirisch said Wise had appeared in good health when he celebrated his 91st birthday Saturday.
Wise was nominated for seven Oscars, including the four he won, during a career that spanned more than 50 years. The other nominations were for editing the 1941 Orson Welles classic "Citizen Kane," directing 1958's "I Want to Live!" and producing 1966's "The Sand Pebbles," which was nominated for best picture.
More recently, he served as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Directors Guild of America.
America.
Wise directed 39 films in all, ranging from science fiction ("The Day the Earth Stood Still") to drama ("I Want to Live!") to war stories ("Run Silent Run Deep") to Westerns ("Tribute to a Bad Man").
"I'd rather do my own thing, which has been to choose projects that take me into all different kinds of genres," he once told The Associated Press.

3. Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
you want -- even if it won't realize it until later.
You can also charm others to your side of an issue. Your relationships with those you see in your daily life will improve. If you are single, do enjoy your choices, but don't consider a relationship long-term until it actually is. You find relationships exciting but not always stable.
If you are attached, you will find that little gestures make a big difference. PISCES is full of surprises. Flex. Ultimately, your adaptability will make a difference.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
ARES (MATH)
★★★ Carefully mull over an insight.
Know when to exit. You might be
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
happiest letting others run the show, especially if you get to start your weekend early. Contact a person who might like to vanish with you. What a ball the two of you could have. Tonight: MIA.
★★★★★ Though you are a sign that plans ahead, go with the impulsive and spontaneous. Others really like you when you relax and express your true feelings. A relationship could be developing or getting warmer. Tonight: Go with a whim. Let go of a need to control.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20
★★★ Last-minute demands could have you screeching out the door. Mellow out and walk back in. By giving 100 percent right now, you will not only make a big difference
immediately, but you will make a difference in your reputation. Tonight:
Stick it out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
CANCER (June 21-July 24)
*** Your mind is already gone and not present. You could receive some biping or surprising news. Check out facts and information. Let your positive side and your caring come through. Give someone the benefit of the doubt. Tonight. Let warm feelings punctate the evening.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Don't even attempt to control anyone but yourself. You will learn a lot more about key people in your life if you lie back. You could find someone close very enduring right now. Enjoy this person to the utmost. Tonight: Let someone else choose. Be less dominant.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
******* Your words melt away
others' resistance, though someone
could have an odd or strange rea-
tion. You might realize how much
this person is afraid of being hurt.
Read between the lines. Tonight:
Just be out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

***** With Venus in your sign,
you could charm nearly anyone right
now. Add in a childlike spontaneity,
and others cannot stay away. Use your magic properly right now, no matter what you have scheduled. Tonight: Could this evening be for your memoirs?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You might be best off working from home, though the unpredictable does occur. Be careful with a new person you might meet; he might not be all he appears to be.
Also, try not to take others' comments personally, which you will tend to do right now. Tonight: Everything revolves around your home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

PISCES VER. To be right in order to achieve your goals right now. Someone at a distance touches base. Or perhaps you are looking to travel or take some time off. Split as soon as you can. Tonight: The more different, the happier you are.

Jayhawks to face tough third game
Difficult contest ahead for Kansas
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas will face its toughest competition this season when it takes the field Saturday against Louisiana Tech.
Louisiana State
The Jayhawks will look to go
3-0 for the first time since the
1997 season.
Green and Cornish, with the help of a solid offensive line, have helped the Jayhawks accumulate more than 200 yards rushing in each game this season.
Coach Mark Mangino will likely use a heavy dose of running backs Clark Green and Jon Cornish.

"I have some moves that you guys haven't seen yet," Cornish said. "Hopefully, I will get to showcase those this weekend."
1997 season. Kansas hopes to improve on a strong offensive performance from last week, when the team gained 435 yards of total offense.
Senior quarterback Brian Luke will make his second start of the season after going 17 of 26 for 212 yards last week, in less than three quarters of play.
less than three could be just as successful this week because Louisiana Tech gave up 475 yards of offense in a 41-3 loss to Florida.

Tech. The Bulldogs beat the Jayhawks in their first meeting when the Bulldogs were in division I-AA.
The Jayhawks used three quarterbacks last week, with Luke, freshman Marcus Herford and junior Adam Barmann.
and junior Adam Baskett Mangino said that Herford's use was situational because he came in and rushed five times for 42 yards.
"We'll have a basic plan before we go into this week's game about how we'll do things and who we would like to use," Mangino said. "We're going to start Brian Luke, there's no question about that. It's what we do from there, how we do it, and who we do it with."

OFFENSE KU KU KU
KU
The Kansas offense made a vast improvement from its first week performance after its more consistent passing. Senior quarterback Brian Luke was 17-26 for 212 yards passing last week and took shots deep downfield. The most impressive aspect of the offense thus far has been the offensive line. The line has given the quarterbacks time to look for open receivers and also has been key in the success of the rushing attack. The team has rushed for more than 200 yards in each of the teams game this year led by junior Jon Cornish and senior Brian Luke.
Louisiana Tech
OFFENSE
DEFENSE
KU
The Kansas defense has yet to regain the form that it possessed at the end of last season. The secondary has been a point of concern thus far, as it has given up big plays deep down the field. While the team has only given up 27 points in three games, the opposition has been able to move deep down the field before the Jayhawks got the stop they needed to prevent the score. Louisiana Tech struggled throwing the football last week against Florida. The Jayhawks will look to get pressure with senior defensive ends Charleton Keith and Jermial Ashley on the Bulldog quarterback and force him to make bad throws downfield.

SPECIALTEAMS
The Bulldog offense struggled in week one facing one of the best defenses in the country, in Florida, only scoring three points. Louisiana Tech football coach Jack Bicknell will rotate two players at the quarterback position this week, something he did against Florida as well. Both Matt Kubik and Donald Allen will play. Kubik completed just four passes for 56 yards last week and threw two interceptions. Allen completed seven passes for 61 yards and had one interception. The biggest hole to fill for the Bulldog offense is the hole left by graduated running back Ryan Moats. Last season, Moats led the team with 1,864 rushing yards. Mark Dillard handled most of the rushing duties in week one, rushing 11 times for 39 yards
DEFENSE

Senior linebacker Barry Robertson anchors the Bulldog defense. Robertson tallied six tackles against Florida and had one pass break up.The Bulldogs play a 3-4 defense, which means they play three defensive linemen and four linebackers. The main pass rusher on the defensive line is senior Quavary Winbush. Winbush had one sack last week and four total tackles. In all, the Florida offense gained 475 yards of total offense against the Louisiana Tech defense and more than 200 rushing yards. The Bulldogs are anchored in the secondary by seniorTramon Williams. Williams is a returning starter who had one tackle for loss last week and one forced fumble
KU KU
At some point, junior cornerback Charles Gordon is going to return a punt for a touchdown. Gordon was close last week when he had three punt returns for 56 yards, and he nearly broke enough tackles to get into the end zone.The special teams unit has been nearly flawless thus far. It is consistently pinning teams deep in its own territory. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker has been getting long punts off, and the team has yet to fumble a snap on punts or field goal tries.

Sophomore kicker Danny Horwedel anchors the special teams. Horwedel connected on eight of 14 field goals as a freshman last season, with his longest being 43 yards. Horwedel got this season off to a good start, knocking in his only attempt from 37 yards away against Florida.The punting game is a different story. Chris Keagle had eight punts last week and averaged just more than 30 yards per punt. Freddie Franklin, sophomore running back, will most likely handle the punnt returns, and Eric Newman and Patrick Johnson will return kickoffs

Jack Bicknell is in his seventh season as head coach of Louisiana Tech. In 2001, Bicknell was named WAC coach of the year when the team played in the Humanitarian Bowl.

Katrina hits home for visitors

Players and coaches on the Louisiana Tech football team will have more on their minds then just football tomorrow when the team takes on Kansas at Memorial Stadium.
Some members of the team are just a few of the thousands of people affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Even though Louisiana Tech lost its opening game at Florida 41-3, Louisiana Tech football coach Jack Bicknell said it was great to play a game and to get players' and coaches' minds off of the disaster.
Louisiana Tech is in Ruston, La. a part of the state that was not affected by the hurricane. There were about 30 to 55 players from areas of Louisiana and Mississippi that were hit.

and concentration of players Players on the team visited different area Red Cross shelters in Ruston, signing autographs and talking to evacuees.
In addition, Louisiana Tech has opened its campus to Tulane. The Tulane football team began practicing at Louisiana Tech this week because all Tulane students were evacuated from the campus.
The campulane Tulane football players enrolled in classes, which began last Tuesday. Players will use Louisiana Tech's athletic facilities during the season.
Tulane initially moved to Southern Methodist's campus in Dallas but decided to move to Louisiana Tech after athletic officials toured the campus.
"I don't foresee any problems," Bicknell said. "The players need to make it work. There are not going to be any problems other then the condition of the field."
Tulane will play its first "home" game this Saturday, when it takes on Mississippi State. The game will be played in Shreveport, La., at Independence Stadium.

policy lasts long. Students and faculty who didn't change their password by last Thursday would not have had access to their KU online account until they changed it.
But they can continue to use their old password until Oct. 3, said Jerie Catlin, director of program and service management of Information Technology.
There's a difference between the policy and forcing the policy, Catlin said, and it would not have been possible to force the policy on every student and faculty member in one day.

When students with an old password log onto KU online services, such as Kyou, the University's student portal Web site, a message with a link will appear as a reminder to change their password, Catlin said.
A secure password contains at least seven characters with one number, one upper and lower case letter, a special character, such as &, # or ?, and cannot be the student's name or a word in the dictionary.
Beginning today, students and faculty who have not changed their passwords will receive an e-mail reminder with a link to change their password.

Polish leader will claim Dole Prize, $25,000 on Thursday

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lech Walesa was only the third international figure to address a joint session of Congress. He was the first democratically elected president of Poland.
On Thursday, he will become the third recipient of the Dole Institute Leadership Prize and speak to the KU community at the Lied Center.
Walesa has been jailed by the former Communist government of Poland and was once placed under house arrest. His peaceful resistance of that government earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in 1983. He's also toured the world and received the Medal of Freedom.
Freedom. The leadership prize "recognizes an individual or organization whose leadership has served to inspire others by demonstrating that the phrase virtuous politician is no oxymoron." Along with the recognition, the honoree receives $25,000.
Bill Lacy, director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, credits Walesa as being key to ending the Cold War. As a dockyard worker, Walesa organized workers and led protests against the Communist government.
Lech Walesa, former president of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize winner, will speak at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Lied Center. Walesa is this year's recipient of the Dole Institute Leadership Prize.
Lacy said. The Dole Institute hopes more students will come to hear Walesa and become involved in politics, Lacy said. Earle said he didn't consider an event successful unless he saw students
said.
Jonathan Earle, associate director of the Dole Institute, said that most people changed history by being part of large movements. Walesa was different, he said.
"He obviously had an important effect in shaping the world that we all live in today," Lacy said.
Each year, the staff of the Dole Institute meets with former Sen. Bob Dole to determine who should win the prize. This year, the choice was unanimous,
said. "He really was a person whose single actions helped change the lives of people in Eastern Europe," Earle said.

Actors reunite, create quality film in Thailand
LOS ANGELES — Patrick Stewart was attracted to one of his latest projects by the prospect of a reunion with Kyle MacLachlan and the chance to visit Thailand.

Stewart played Captain Nemo in "Jules Verne's Mysterious Island" He co-starred with MacLachlan, 20 years
after the actors first worked together in the sci-fi movie "Dune."
"It's always a special attraction for a project if you have someone that you're that fond of working with you," Stewart said. "Kyle and I became unlikely good friends and have remained very close over the decades."
"Mysterious Island" was filmed in Thailand, using jungle and cave locations.
"There's always an appeal to working in a place as opposed to just being a tourist." Stewart said. "You can get a different perspective on the country and the people when you're there to do a job.The country is magnificent.I'm just overwhelmed with the natural beauty."

Bundy and others approve of the aggressive panhandling ordinance that Lawrence city commissioners unanimously passed July 5. They say the ordinance has benefited the area, although only a couple of citations have been issued since it was enacted. Others say the ordinance has hurt the homeless community.

"It doesn't prohibit panhandling, but aggressive panhandling," Schauer said. "If I ask you for a quarter and you say 'no,' and I continue to pester you, that's aggressive panhandling."
One KU student along Massachusetts Street approved of the ordinance, but also noted that he had not been aggressively approached for money.

Patients compete for face transplant
SCIENCE
Surgeons in Cleveland seek recipients for experiemental facial surgery
BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — In the next few weeks, five men and seven women will secretly visit the Cleveland Clinic to interview for the chance to have a radical operation that's never been tried anywhere in the world.
They will smile, raise their eyebrows, close their eyes open their mouths. Dr. Maria Siemionow will study their cheekbones, lips and noses. She will ask what they hope to gain and what they most fear.
to gain and what the other person will then she will ask," Are you afraid that you will look like another person?"
Because whoever she chooses will endure the ultimate identity crisis.
Siemionow wants to attempt a face transplant.
This is no extreme TV makeover It is a medical frontier being explored by a doctor who wants the public to understand what she is trying to do.
It is this: to give people horribly disfigured by burns, accidents or other tragedies a chance at a new life. Today's best treatments still leave many of them with freakish, scar-tissue masks that don't look or move like natural skin.
These people already have lost the sense of identity that is linked to the face; the transplant is merely "taking a skin envelope" and slipping their identity inside, Siemionow contends.
Her supporters note her experience, careful planning, the team of experts assembled to help her and the practice she has done on animals and dozens of cadavers to perfect the technique.
scenario: a transplanted face being rejected and sloughing away, leaving the patient worse off than before.
But her critics say the operation is way too risky for something that is not a matter of life or death, as organ transplants are. They paint the frighteningly surreal image of a worst-case
Such qualms recently scuttled face transplant plans in France and England.
Ultimately, it comes to this: a hospital, doctor and patient willing to try it.
The first two are now in place. The third is expected to be shortly.
Amy Sancetta/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The "consent form" says that this surgery is so novel and its risks so unknown that doctors don't think informed consent is even possible.
Here is what it tells potential patients:
Your face will be removed and replaced with one donated from a cadaver, matched for tissue type, age, sex and skin color. Surgery should last 8 to 10 hours; the hospital stay, 10 to 14 days.
Complications could include infections that turn your new face black and require a second transplant or reconstruction with skin grafts. Drugs to prevent rejection will be needed lifelong, and they raise the risk of kidney damage and cancer.
Dr. Maria Siemionow, a reconstructive plastic surgeon, performs micro-surgery at the Cleveland Clinic last month in Cleveland, Ohio. Siemionow wants to attempt the world's first face transplant.
After the transplant you might feel remorse, disappointment, or grief or guilt toward the donor. The clinic will try to shield your identity, but the press likely will discover it.
all of the little things that make up facial expression — mannerisms like winking when telling a joke or blushing at a compliment — are
The clinic will cover costs for the first patient; nothing about others has been decided.
Another form tells donor families that the person receiving the face will not resemble their dead loved one. The recipient should look similar to how he or she did before the injury because the new skin goes on existing bone and muscle, which give a face its shape.

Some research suggests the end result would be a combination of the two appearances.
Surgeons will graft skin to cover the donor's wound, but a closed casket or cremation will be required.
ket of cremation.
It took more than a year to win approval from the 13-member Institutional Review Board, the clinic's gatekeeper of research. Siemionow assembled surgeons, psychiatrists, social workers, therapists, nurses and patient advocates, and worked with LifeBanc, the organ procurement agency she expects will help obtain a face.

At first, not everyone was on her side, acknowledged the board's vice chairman, Dr. Alan Lichtin. After months of debate, Siemionow brought in photographs of potential patients.

Cut subscriptions hurt researchers
LAWRENCE — As state money for higher education gets harder to come by, the University of Kansas is saving money wherever it can.
That includes cutting back on its subscriptions to scholarly journals, some of which carry annual price tags in the thousands. But some faculty members say the strategy hurts their ability to do research.

ability to do research. "No one can do without them," economics professor Mohamed El-Hodiri said. "They're forcing us to pick and choose. How do I know that the one I choose is the one I'm going to need tomorrow?"
And if professors can't keep up on the latest research, El-Hodiri said, their students' education will suffer.
"If you don't know what's happening in the research, you cannot teach, or you're going to teach stale stuff," he said.

makes some take risks "Some publishers, they've gone crazy," El-Hodiri said.
The University, which recently started a three-year review of its periodicals subscriptions, would need $1.1 million beyond its current budget to maintain its current level. The school has come up with $600,000 of that total, but must cut out $500,000 in subscriptions.
"That's essentially been the trend: Spend more, get less," said Bill Myers, director of library development at the university

But with many institutions publishing research on the Internet, paper subscriptions might become unnecessary. Kansas already does that, using its KU Scholarworks site to make research — finished and unfinished — available.
Shulenburger saled Interlibrary loan programs with other universities also help, Myers said.
"Who cares about the price of scholarly journals if the material is available?" Provest David Shulenburger said.
"I think institutions like ours have gotten more versatile in trying to cope with the increasing costs of serials," he said. "The objective is to try to advance knowledge as quickly as possible."

For legislators who think too little money gets into the classroom, some of the high-flying districts are spending more on administration and less on classroom instruction than the state averages.
A study by analysts at Standard & Poor's has identified a set of Sweet 16 school districts that are making effective use of their resources to get stellar student achievement. Further review is expected to identify what those districts are doing right and how the state's 284 other districts can do better.

The final decision was announced on Sept. 8. Sigma Nu pledges sat in the middle of the chapter room. Actives and parents sat along the three walls, covered in 121 framed composite photos. The national executive director informed the men that they had 30 days to move out. Within the next few hours, police were on their way to search the entire house for alcohol and illegal substances. Guards were soon posted inside and outside of the house where they will remain until Oct. 8; the final date that members can go inside their first collegiate home.

The downfall began in Oct 2003 when a tradition led to the injury of an Olathe pledge. Members who lived in the house two years ago feel that the event was blown out of proportion. Even today the victim laughs about the attention brought upon the fraternity because of his fall. Either way, he was sent to the hospital and an investigation began. This led to the chapter's placement on social probation.

A year later the chapter was free from the shadow of the incident. Four months later the fraternity had a Rock-Chalk Revue after party at the Teepee with the TriDelta sorority. A friend of a Sigma Nu active came in town to watch the performance and joined in the revelry afterward. He left the party, began to cross the street and was hit and killed by a driver who initially left the scene of the accident then later returned.

if any at all. Most negative things I heard were about Sigma Nu. "A couple years ago, they held a pledge by his feet off one of their balconies, but they were like really drunk, and dropped him, so he died." "I heard they make pledges jump off the top balcony. Four floors down." "Now they can't haze at all' cause the national board is like, so hard core on their ass."
her new position.
The day after pledges moved into their new home, the new house mom began documenting and photographing incidents that took place. Once a party had died down, she was known to pace the house, taking pictures of the mess before members could wake up to clean the house the next morning. Members began to feel as if she was hired to provide alumni with
their ass.
The chapter's reputation has upset alumni, ultimately leading to action. The former house mom was fired at the end of last year. She was forced to retire after several decades of overseeing Greek life. Mrs. Corcoran was fond of the members, made sure not to intrude on their social lives, and took it upon herself to teach respect and manners to "her boys." The actives knew that her replacement would probably hold a different outlook but were amazed at how their new pseudo-maternal guidance treated her new position.

been led on.
So when a pledge dropped the fraternity and complained to the national board, serious repercussions were inevitable. According to members, the pledge's decision was more heavily based on personal disagreements with another member than being uncomfortable with hazing. This led to an investigation in which the documentations of the house mom were used.
The board described hazing as anything that pledges must do that actives do not have to partake in. This included house cleaning, a curfew, mandatory study hours and requirements to stay on campus from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. No pledges objected to these pams but rather viewed them as beneficial. Their parents were particularly in favor of those that established good study habits and a healthy sleep routine.

I'm sure this column comes across as fairly biased towards Sigma Nu, but I guarantee that I am not a member. I was, however, a Sigma Nu pledge. I lived in the house for a semester and dropped just before initiation. The fraternity was not for me and I got involved in a handful of events that could have possibly ruined my life. I don't blame that on the house but merely

city of Kansas.
So, I should be thinking "Good riddance. They made me miserable and this is my opportunity to bash the hell out of them." But the injustice behind the matter is too obvious. I could not continue living in a fraternity house, but my issues were not based on the discomfort of hazing. I never once felt that I was required to do anything I was not comfortable with and I understood the purpose behind all required activities. Cleaning up after other people's filth, sickness and lust was tedious and sometimes appalling. But it's a messy lifestyle and unfortunately, just as in every chapter, the yet-to-be-initiated must deal with the dirty work.
with the dirty work.
The fraternity is currently attempting to appeal the matter. There is a growing chance that they may be able to get the chapter back. But running naked through the halls of a neighboring sorority on top of $500 worth of vandalism and $700 worth of theft is not going to help their cause.

To some men, the fraternity brought them the best friendships

While I am just as guilty of attending a circus or going to a zoo as the next person, I've come to see the animals on the other side of that fence as more than just something to look at in awe.
Think about the purpose of the cage that separates you from the animal. Some of the specimens on display at zoos are capable of killing a human instantly. They have adapted and evolved over time to their indigenous habitats.
The tiger was acting out of instinct when it struck out at Haley. The tiger was killed on site, after Haley was pronounced dead, according to Traveler magazine.

Police mistake sunflowers for marijuana

BEL AIRE The police thought they'd found marijuana plants growing in a former mayor's back yard, where his wife sometimes entures members of the senior citizens' group she leads.

Kansas is, of course, the Sunflower State — which made the error even more baffling, the Smiths' attorney said.

"These are very community-oriented people who have been active in their community affairs for years," he said. "I think it's probably fair to say they care much less about the idea of a lawsuit than they do about assuring the citizens of Bel Aire that they have competent police officers who will protect the rights of everyone."
During the search, Monnat said, at least 10 officers went through the Smiths' house, checking drawers and closets and videotaping everything. The tape has not been returned, Monnat said.
Withrow said the plants weren't blooming at the time, but Monnat said some were — and noted that police would have had to drive past many other sunflower plants on their way to the home to search it.
Harold Smith served as mayor from 1991 to 1998, leaving office before serving all of his fourth and final term.
Korean nuclear talks in 'endgame'
BY BURT HERMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING - International talks seeking to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program were in their "endgame" Monday, the top U.S. negotiator said, before delegates met to consider a Chinese proposal for resolving the standoff.
U. S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said the talks would wrap up in a matter of hours.

"We're at the endgame," he said as he left his hotel early Monday.

Hill said North Korea "has some demands and the question is whether anybody accepts those demands."

"I think we have a pretty good arrangement on that, but I have to see what it looks like finally," he said.

Brandon Perkins doesn't start for the Kansas defense, but his impact was felt Saturday night.
The senior linebacker had five sacks, with his first coming in the first quarter and his fifth on the last play of the game.

a force. Perkins is a situational linebacker, which means Mangino brings him in when the situation is right. He is used primarily as a pass rusher, so he sees many third downs.
Perkins set the school record with five sacks in a single game, and passed four Jayhawks on the all-time sack list. He is now tied for seventh with 15 career sacks.
"I was just at the right place at the right time tonight," Perkins said. "I just saw some things from the offensive linemen that I wanted to capitalize on, and I was able to put some pressure on the quarterback."

Libero Jamie Mathewson returns a serve during the game Saturday against Oklahoma. The Jayhawks were victorious in a five-game match, defending the Sooners 3-2
Three days after dominating No.15 Texas A&M, Kansas volleyball barely escaped Oklahoma with a 3-2 victory Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The Jayhawks (10-1, 2-0 Big 12) seemed to suffer a letdown following their emotional victory against the Texas A&M Aggies. They didn't match the Sooners' intensity and energy for much of the match.

Kansas deserves credit for win
The KU football team's first two non-conference games were not exactly ESPN Classic material. Florida Atlantic? Never heard of it. Appalachian State? What state is that school in? But Louisiana Tech isn't in quite the same league. The Jawahar beat a good football team Saturday.
Louisiana Tech has played a BCS conference opponent every year since 1989. The Bulldogs' non-conference schedule last year included Miami, Tennessee and Auburn. Tech knocked off Michigan State in 2003. In 2002, Tech defeated Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., and lost in overtime on the road to a ranked Auburn team. There is no doubt that Crimson Tide fans remember the Bulldogs upsetting No. 18 Alabama in 1999.
Give the Jayhawks credit. They didn't overlook the Bulldogs and earned their third victory of the year. The Bulldogs' acclaimed passing attack has produced NFL quarterbacks Tim Rattay and Luke McCown. Although Louisiana Tech lacks an NFL-caliber quarterback this season, the Kansas defense saw a plethora of new offensive schemes from Louisiana Tech offensive coordinator Conroy Hines.
"They played us completely different," he said. "They gave us a bunch of different offensive plays and formations."
Hines. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino lauded the Bulldogs for their schemes and adjustments from the Florida game.
No statistic was more impressive than the four turnovers the Jayhawks forced. Kansas had zero interceptions in its first two games, but thanks to a pair of interceptions by safety Rodney Fowler and an interception apiece for Theo Baines and Aqib Talib the KU offense had a much smaller field to work with.
More importantly, the KU defense flew to the ball. The blue collar defense that nearly led Kansas to upsetts against Nebraska, Texas Tech and Texas last season finally returned to Memorial Stadium. Brandon Perkins glided in for a school record five sacks; Theo Baines destroyed a blocker on a corner blitz; and the Kansas ball-hawking safeties turned in big plays. Louisiana Tech receiver Seneca Chambers summed it up best.
plays and to formulate. Nevertheless, the KU defense finally found its swagger. The Jayhawks entered the game ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in passing defense, giving up an average of 258 yards a game. That number is a bit staggering for a team that was supposed to have one of the best defenses in the conference.
Florida Atlantic quarterback Danny Embick tallied 299 yards in the first game of the year. But the Jayhawks allowed only 257 passing yards to Louisiana Tech. That number was skewed by the 145 yards the Bulldogs racked up during the fourth quarter.
"Kansas was all around the ball — they were everywhere," he said.
If this defense continues to smash through offensive lines, the Jayhawks will not be everywhere — they will be atop the Big 12 North.

Texas remains at top of poll
Editor's Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas football writers, as well as Kellis Robinett, sports editor, and Eric Sorrentino, associate sports editor.
Another week has gone by and Texas is still at the top of the Big 12 Power Rankings. The Longhorns defeated the Rice Owls handily at home, and it looks like only a loss will move them out of the No. 1 spot.
Texas Tech wrestled the number two spot away from Iowa State after scoring 80 points against Sam Houston State.
Iowa State, who didn't play this weekend, did receive one second place vote, though.

Ryan Newman climbs rankings after 12th win
Newman, who barely squeezed into the Chase for the championship, got off to a fast start in NASCAR's 10-race playoff Sunday by outdueling points leader Tony Stewart down the stretch.
Following the final pit stops by the leaders, Newman found himself just ahead of Stewart when the green flag waved with 16 lap to go after the last of 10 caution flags.
It was Newman's 12th career win and, more important, moved him from 10th in the standings to a tie for third with teammate Rusty Wallace, both of them trailing Stewart by 40 points and Greg Biffle by 20.
Jimmy: Nice to see that the defense is finally returning to the form that drew so much praise last season.
Michael: Not so fast, Mr. Chavez. The unit is still overly dependent on the home run. It's time the players quit trying to force a big play, because it will only backfire.
Kansas game techniques stir up debate
Jimmy: But Saturday showed that on this particular team, they have to be the torch bearers. If not for the turnovers they created, the Jayhawks would have been in big trouble. Just look at the offense. At halftime, it had 13 rushes for 13 yards.

Michael: It's convenient that you use only half the offensive stats. The passing game was cruising to the tune of 236 yards and three touchdowns. Last year the defense was the only way Kansas could win games. This year it doesn't have that burden.
Jimmy: I would, until he begins to show the potential that he has. Simmons has the ability to be one of the better receivers not just on the team, but maybe in the conference. He just has to hold on to the ball, and so does everyone else for that matter. Dropped passes have made it much more
Jimmy: Yes, my pop-culture savvy friend, it's hard for five guys to move seven, but you have to think that running backs Clark Green and Jon Cornish can still gain more yards on the ground, because I really don't think the first two weeks were an aberration.
Michael: Jon Cornish is as close to a perpetual-motion machine as you are going to see in your lifetime. Even when he was wrapped up by two guys, his legs were still spinning forward trying to gain yards. Once defenses start taking our receivers seriously those holes will create themselves. If you were a Big 12 coach, would you leave Mark Simmons in one-on-one coverage?
Jimmy: Well, I guess it can't
difficult for Brian Luke to be efficient.
Michael: Jimmy, 2003 called, it wants your argument back. In the past, the defense did have to carry the load to win the games, but I think you fail to realize just how good our offense is this year. I'd be surprised if we didn't put up 20 points in conference games.
Jimmy: To do that, there must be more throws to Derek Fine. Every time the ball is thrown to him, he shows the reliability that could help open things up for the receivers and the running game. At least we may know a lot more about this team after the Texas Tech game.
Michael: We'll have our answers after that game.

Carolina Panthers' Stephen Davis (48) runs through New England Patriots players Chad Brown (98) and Matt Chatham (56) for his third touchdown of the game during the fourth quarter of the Panthers' 27-17 victory in Charlotte, N.C. yesterday.

It meant the Panthers had to rely on Davis, who ran for 77 yards and scored on three 1-yard plunges in his second game back from microfracture surgery on his right knee. Davis became the first running back to score three TDs against the Patriots since Curtis Martin did it in 2000.

It certainly was no Super Bowl reprise because neither team played that well.
But the Panthers (1-1) did just enough to win, getting three touchdowns from Stephen Davis in the first regular-season meeting between the teams since the Patriots' thrilling 32-29 Super Bowl win two seasons ago.
But if it was any indication, neither team is ready to play for a championship and the Patriots (1-1) look nothing like a winner of three of the last four Super Bowls.
Carolina won in spite of Delhomme, who was off all day and had an interception by Mike Vrabel returned 24 yards for a touchdown. Delhomme finished 11-for-26 for 154 yards and no touchdowns.

Luke connected with senior wide receiver Mark Simmons six times for 106 yards. Simmons was a force in moving the offense in the second half.

The Jayhawks faced off against the Missouri State Bears at the Jayhawks' new home, Ice Midwest, in Overland Park.
It was a bittersweet opening to the season for the Kansas club hockey team, as it racked up one victory and one loss this weekend.
The Jayhawks won 7-4 Friday night. Junior forward David Knight and freshman forward Erik Bredesen established an early lead for Kansas, scoring a combined five points in the first two periods. The Bears attempted a last-minute comeback, doubling their score in the last three minutes of the game, but failed to catch up to the Jayhawks.

The Bears returned with a volley of shots, slipping one in for their second score of the night. Kansas returned with another shot by Zellner, finishing up the second period 6-2.
Shots were exchanged up and down the rink for the majority of the third period without much success until the end of the period. Junior forward Ryne Tusten scored for the Jayhawks in the last five minutes.
Missouri State came back in the last three minutes, doubling their points for the game, but Kansas held onto its lead and the game ended 7-4.
"We really just hustled a lot and put in a lot of hard work," Kansas McSorley said. "Those guys ran the systems really well."

Despite the loss, McSorley said the
entire game wasn't a disappointment. The last minute comeback in the third period showed him that the Jayhawks still had the drive to win.
"They never stopped," he said,
"even when they were behind."
Hoping to rack up more victories, Kansas will face off against Missouri at home Friday. The team will travel to Missouri on Saturday for its second game against the Tigers.
McSorley said the main thing the team needed to work on before the season gets into full swing was consistency.
"We have a lot of new guys this year," he said. "It's basically a brand new team. They just need to know where they're supposed to be. Every coach's style is different, so we all have to get used to each other."

Trent Green engineered two second-half field goal drives and the Chiefs stopped Oakland at the 10-yard line in the final minutes to spoil Randy Moss' home debut for the Raiders with a 23-17 victory last night.

Kansas City overhauled its defense in the offseason after another season in which its high-scoring offense wasn't enough. After taking a shutout into the final minute of a season-opening 27-7 win over the New York Jets, the Chiefs (2-0) proved to be just tough enough to beat the Raiders for the fifth straight time.

After Samie Parker's fumble set up a final drive for Oakland, Kerry Collins led the Raiders (0-2) to the 10 with 1:58 to go. He threw an incomplete pass to LaMont Jordan on third down and then lofted a last-ditch pass to Jerry Porter in the back corner of the end zone. Porter leaped and had the ball on his fingertips, but Benny Sapp knocked the ball away.
Kansas City then ran out the clock.

'Heaven'exorcises 'Rose' at box office
BY LAURA WIDES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Heaven beat the devil at the box office this weekend.
the Reese Witherspoon,
Mark Ruffalo romantic comedy
"Just Like Heaven" debuted at
No.1 with an estimated $16.5
million in ticket sales, bumping
the courtroom horror film "The
Exorcism of Emily Rose" into
second place.
Overall, box office revenue jumped an estimated 13 percent compared with the same weekend last year, continuing the upward trend in movie grosses after a dismal summer, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
In its second weekend, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," about a Catholic priest on trial for negligent homicide following the death of a satanicly possessed 19-year-old, earned $15.3 million in ticket sales from Friday to yesterday, bringing its total domestic gross to $52 million; according to studio estimates.
"Lord of War," starring Nico las Cage as an arms dealer pursued by Interpol agent Ethan Hawke, debuted in third place with $9.2 million.
Dreamworks' "Just Like Heaven," which follows a man who encounters romance from beyond when a ghost keeps appearing in his apartment, touched on the audiences' desire for something light and romantic, Dergarabedian said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Monday, Sept. 19, 2005: You work well with others this year, especially on an individual level. Sometimes, groups become overwhelming. Your leadership style draws many. You can make money -- more than usual -- before the spring. A pay raise is possible. You might remodel your home. You are growing and evolving on a deep level. Your home will reflect this. What worked several years ago might not work anymore. A partnership plays a key role in your year. If you are single, you will become close with someone special whom you trust enormously. If you are attached, teamwork will make this marriage a great success. Talk more. Agree to disagree. ARIES understands more than you think.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
**** March 21-April 19
*** Your enthusiasm might bowl some people over. You certainly get the ball rolling. Many get their energy and direction from you. Remember, you are the sign of the pioneer; be ready to conquer new ground.
You will be delighted by the crusaders that join in. Tonight: You're on top of your game.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Step back and observe more. A partner feeds you instrumental information that presents a better and more upbeat view of a situation in your daily life. Don't act on this news right away. The timing is off. Tonight: Mull over news.
**** You are in charge, whether you want to be or not. Remember your limits and
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
**** Although you hit the bull's-eye, you might need to make a minor adjustment. Remember, people and opinions change. Your creativity and ingenuity peak. If at the right point in your life, a romance could spice up your life. Tonight: What you want most.
don't accept too much responsibility. Knowing when to say no is as important in leadership as accepting responsibility. Delegate, if need be. Tonight: You don't want to retire.
***** You have what others consider either brilliant ideas or crazy thoughts. Your mental processing doesn't change; you are seeing how open those around you are to breaking past black-and-white thinking. Screen your calls if you need to get a project done. Tonight: Socialize to your heart's content.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
VIRGU (Aug. 23-Sept. 12)
★★★ Sharing issues with associates draws a new perspective and perhaps will help you revive your thinking. You also might discover how adaptable a family member can be. Think about your finances creatively, but don't risk anything you can't afford to lose. Tonight: Go with another's choice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
***** Others seek you out. You might like all the socializing, but at the same time, you could gather some important information. Just make sure it isn't gossip. Allow others to express their ideas without making any judgments. Tonight: Ever popular.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ Your mind is in overdrive, making situations complicated or difficult. Concentration is the name of the game. Follow through on a financial decision. Others respond to your ideas. Tonight: Fit in a walk or some other form of exercise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★★ Change your style if you find someone isn't getting it. You have creativity and adaptability on your side. Imagine what it might be like to be someone else -- you will be able to communicate and connect on a deeper level. Tonight: Let your hair down.
★★★ Check out an investment with care. A higher-up might overwhelm you with ideas. Try to absorb all of them, even if you feel they won't work. At a later date, you could discover otherwise. Tonight: Head home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 10)
***** You're not a sign that holds back, and you certainly won't today. Pick and choose your words with care. A friend might surprise you with his or her perspective. Adapt to others, especially in a meeting. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite restaurant.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Take charge of your finances and other assets. Have you been ignoring an innate talent that might be a moneymaker? Take a stand with a boss or higher-up. Avoid a hassle, if possible. A partner shares his or her feelings or points you in several unthought-of directions. Listen. Tonight. Pay bills.

Disappointing loss ends non-conference play

Midfielder Missy Geha (top right) and defender Holly Gault (below right) stop UC-
Inville midfielder Dayna Knowles. The Jayhawks shut out the Anteaters 4-0 on Friday
The No. 24 Kansas soccer team was unable to get itself going at Purdue yesterday, losing 3-1, in what coach Mark Francis called a disappointing game.
nured a disappointing game. "I think that is probably the worst game that I have experienced as a coach at Kansas in the last four or five years." Francis said. "It was very disappointing."
Kansas (4-3-1) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first half off a goal from sophomore defender Afton Sauer, which was her first of the season. Junior midfielder/forward Lacey Novak assisted the play.
But the Boilermakers (4-4) responded less than two minutes later with a goal off a corner kick.
her kick.
Kansas and Purdue were tied heading into the second half. The Boilermakers received a penalty shot after the Jayhawks committed a foul in their own box. Purdue's Jordyn Shaffer nailed the past kick senior goalkeeper Erin Ferguson, who started the second half.
"It was not the way we wanted to finish the non-conference season," Francis said.
the final "insurance" goal for Purdue came in the 88th minute of the game. Jill Sarbaugh knocked in her second goal of the year with a little less than three minutes remaining.
Kansas 4, California-Irvine 0
Kansas will open conference play Friday when it travels to Waco, Texas, to take on the Baylor Bears.
The No. 24 Kansas soccer team picked up a 4-0 shutout
Francis and his staff made a few position changes, with freshman goalkeeper Julie Hanley in goal, junior defender Holly Gault at midfield and freshman midfielder Kristin Graves on defense.
Graves on deserts:
Adding to the changing improvements, sophomore forward Emily Strinden came
not quite good.
"We scored some pretty good goals, but I thought we should've had four or five more." Francis said. "We've got to maintain our standard no matter who we're playing and what the score is. Right now, we're not doing that."
A penalty kick in the 63rd minute was senior forward Caroline Smith's contribution of the afternoon. A shot the forward put past Henry's right side.
New Jayhawks continued to step up and score goals, while a new goalkeeper kept the Anteaters' off the board. Francis said he thought each of those were important, but not quite good enough.

Academic Integrity
Shanda Hurla Program Coordinator New Student Orientation
Jane Tuttle, Ed. D.
Assistant to the Dean of Students
Academic integrity is a central value in higher education. It rests on two principles: first, that academic work is represented truthfully as to its source and its accuracy, and second, that academic results are obtained by truthful means." Academic misconduct" occurs when these values are not respected. A good rule of thumb is "if you have to ask if this is cheating, it probably is."
The Center for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. An overview of those values provided by the Center shows the interconnection that forms the basis of integrity.
on
Without honesty the results of teaching, research and learning are suspect. How can we know the information is accurate if it is not based in honesty? Honesty is more than personally not cheating on assignments; it is it is not tolerating cheating from anyone.
Being able to discuss issues without fear is part of trust. We promote trust when the guidelines and expectations in the class are clearly stated; when the university academic policies are consistent and easily understood; when students do work that is theirs alone.
Fairness on the campus is everyone's responsibility. Evaluation without prejudice is a right at KU just as consistent treatment is. There are no rationalizations for dishonesty or preferential treatment.
Respect is critical to learning and respecting people involves fairness and honesty: it is part of academic civility. Students are respectful when they come to class on time, prepared and work to the best of their ability. Faculty are respectful when they seriously consider students' ideas and provide honest evaluation of the students'work. Administrators are respectful when they listen to students and treat them as responsible adults.
The final value of responsibility is one of being accountable for your behavior and taking action when you witness lapses in honesty, fairness or respect. Gary Pavela explained why the University must not tolerate cheating in any form. He wrote:"Academic dishonesty ... undermines the bonds of trust and honesty between members of the community and defrauds those who may eventually depend upon our knowledge and integrity". For the university to thrive we must be committed to academic integrity.
Civility on Campus
Jane Tuttle, Ed.D.
Assistant to the Dean of Students
Good manners are another name for civility. P.M. Forni of the Johns Hopkins University Civility Project states "The rules of civility and good manners give us a basic, time-proven, and effective code of relational competence."Civility is about respect for others which in turn is about our relations with others. Civility at KU is not limited to the classroom nor is it limited to social etiquette. Academic civility is about how we treat one another both inside and outside the classroom.
The learning environment can be ruined by disruptive or inappropriate behavior. Indiana University conducted an academic civility survey of its faculty and students in 2000 and some of the behaviors that are labeled as academic incivility might be surprising. Some behaviors labeled as such included:
- Arriving late or leaving early from the classroom
- Cell phones or pagers sounding during class
- Sleeping in class
- Sarcastic remarks or harassing remarks
- Side conversations between students
Disrupting a class is both rude and can be classified as academic misconduct at KU. Despite clear communication of expectations, some students do behave rudely in the classroom. Inappropriate behavior in class takes the focus away from the topic and short-changes students. There are resources available for faculty and staff. You can find a listing at the Dean of Students Web Site: http://www.ku.edu/~stlife/difficult/
Preserving academic civility is part of overall academic integrity. It means reading the course syllabus as well as the assignments, being attentive in class, not reading a newspaper during class, and not eating during class. Civility is more than being merely polite; it is about respecting other's rights and needs.
In the 2005 Ombuds Annual Report, the Ombudsman reported "When reviewing the trends for this year, one theme, civility, stands out from the rest."
KU provides the community with codes of responsibilities and rights. Students and organizations are expected to conduct themselves as responsible members of the University community and minimum standards of behavior have been established in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Similarly, in University Senate Rules and Regulations minimum standards are outlined.
The standards for academic misconduct for both student and instructor are closely linked to civility - the relationships inside the classroom. University Senate Rules and Regulations define academic misconduct while the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities explain non-academic misconduct. Both documents are available in their entirety on the KU Web Site.
For real academic freedom to persist at KU, we need to be able to confront difficult and complex issues without resorting to disrespectful behaviors during the conversation. We need civility: it does not eliminate conflicts, however, it makes them more productive. Each person in the classroom has a role in the learning environment. You can monitor your own behaviors and ask others to do the same. Management expert Peter Drucker has said that "Good manners (civility) are the lubricating oil of organizations." Are you doing your part to keep KU a well oiled machine?

Ask Jamie Jayhawk!
Have a question? Need some advice? Jamie is here to help!
Dear Jamie Jayhawk-
My friend and I are interested in joining a fraternity/sorority, but we've heard that their members are too busy to study. Any advice?
- Undecided
Dear Undecided,
Our fraternities/sororities at KU are very committed to the academic experience. For many years the 'all fraternity and sorority student' GPA has exceeded the 'all university student'GPA. Last spring, the fraternity and sorority community (nearly 3,000 students) GPA was a 3.13,.13 above the all university student GPA.
Fraternities and sororities provide mentoring programs, study programs, and will help students create individual plans for academic success. There are many ways to get involved in fraternities and sororities; however each chapter will recognize your studies as your number one priority and will support your academic endeavors.
If you want to learn more about KU Greek life, check out www.kugreek.org.
Dear Jamie,
I have been having trouble with my ex-boyfriend lately, and it is really affecting my studies. We recently broke up, and he can't seem to let go. At first I thought he was just having trouble getting over me, and I tried to stay friends, but lately it has gotten worse - almost scary. He keeps calling and emailing me, and last week he started to show up at my classes. It's hard enough to concentrate on my homework without knowing I'm going to have to see him every time I go to class! What can I do?
- Nervous
Dear Nervous,
Although you may not realize it, the behavior your boyfriend is exhibiting actually sounds a lot like stalking. According to Kansas state law, stalking includes following or harassment by an individual when it is intentional happens repeatedly and implies a credible threat. There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself. If you haven't already, try making it very clear to your ex-boyfriend that you no longer want contact with him and you'd like him to quit bothering you. If the stalking continues, try contacting the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, Watkins Health Center, or KU Public Safety to obtain a Stalking Assistance Kit. These kits provide information on stalking and Kansas Law, how to protect yourself from stalking, and tools to document stalking incidents. They will help you build a case against your ex-boyfriend and hopefully get him to stop stalking you for good. For more information on stalking or other relationship issues, drop into the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, located in the Student involvement & Leadership Center on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union, 864-3552.
Dear Jamie,
I'm from a small town and am feeling lost here. I've met a lot of people but feel lonely and unhappy. What can I do?
- Despondent
Dear Despondent,
It takes awhile to find your niche. What kinds of things interest you? Whatever your interests, there is a way to get involved. First off, look at the groups with whom you already have a connection. Is there a way to take a more active role? You might consider volunteering to be in charge of a project or activity on your floor/in your house. You might also look at the list of student organizations and consider one that interests you ( www.ku.edu/organizations ). Another great option is to check out the new student organization, Kansas Connections, (www.ku.edu/~connect ) whose members are students like you from Kansas small towns. The group helps students connect with each other, and succeed on this large campus. For more involvement opportunities, contact the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, 864-4861 (www.ku.edu/~silc). Don't get discouraged - it takes awhile to feel connected. Take some steps to
make KU your home away from home.
University Career Center
Perhaps you're a freshman who's tired of smug pre-meds rolling their eyes when you tell them you're undecided. Maybe you're a sophomore who's just realized your med school plan is not going to happen because you faint at the sight of blood. Maybe you're a senior who cringes whenever the term "job search" is mentioned. Fortunately, help is available right on campus: the University Career Center, an extraordinary resource that most students never realized existed.
Having trouble choosing a major or career path? Schedule an appointment with a career counselor. With personality tests, books on majors and jobs, and trained professionals, learning about and selecting majors and careers become much simpler tasks.
Nervous about a job interview? UCC offers lots of services to prepare students for the career world. Advisers are always available to edit resumes and cover letters. Individual and group mock interviews are available to coach students on interviewing techniques. Etiquette dinners are a popular option for people looking to figure out the purpose of all that silverware before an interview that entails a business dinner.
Trying to find an internship or summer job? The UCC sponsors numerous internship and career fairs throughout the year at different campus venues. The office also has an internship adviser and files listing many opportunities.
Nearly every service offered by the UCC is free. Freshmen should use the service to help navigate the jungle of majors available, and upperclassmen should use it to get an edge on the job search, apply for an internship, or create a graduate school plan.
The Burge Union, with its location right behind Jayhawk Towers and Daisy Hill, and across the parking lot from Allen Fieldhouse, is a short walk from almost anywhere on campus. If you are willing to 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.The University Career Center can help make the transition from student to professional, undergrad to graduate, or even undecided to decided.
The University Career Center is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday in 110 Burge Union. To schedule an appointment with a career counselor, call 864-3627. Further information can be found at www.ucc.ku.edu.

Tutoring Services Celebrates 6 Years!
By Kristin Scott, Assistant Director,
Academic Achievement and Access Center
This year Tutoring Services is celebrating its sixth year of operation here at the University of Kansas. Since it began in the Fall 2000, it has offered quality peer-tutoring for challenging entry-level courses at a reasonable cost.
This semester, Tutoring Services plans to offer more than 50 groups in a variety of courses in a number of disciplines including Math, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We anticipate more than 200 students will request our services this semester. Tutor Groups
Tutor groups (2-4 students) meet twice a week(Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday) for one and one-half hours each session.The groups may meet in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings based upon tutor availability and student demand. Once the tutor group begins meeting, students will meet with the same tutor at the same time on the same days in the same location through the last week of classes. Consistency is one of the many positive aspects of this program!
Students may pre-enroll for specific courses prior to the start of the semester. For example, students were pre-enrolling for tutor groups in October or November for this semester. Now that the semester is underway, students may simply request tutor groups by going to the Tutoring Services website (http://www.tutoring.ku.edu) or completing a request form in 22 Strong Hall.
Once the request has been received, our staff will e-mail students with the details (time/day/location/etc.). Students have two sessions to determine whether or not they want to continue attending the sessions. If not, the student will not be billed. On the other hand, if the student is satisfied and wants to continue attending, a bill will be issued or a fee waiver will be processed.
Tutoring Services charges a fee in order to pay its tutors. Therefore, students are billed $100 for each tutor group each semester. This charge is minimal in cost compared to one-on-one tutoring by private tutors who charge from $10 to $35 per hour On the other hand, students who have a FAFSA on file through the Office of Student Financial Aid may be eligible for a fee waiver. In Tutoring Services students can expect that they will be matched with a tutor who can break down problems, clarify discuss, explain, and show. Charles Exdell, a Spanish Tutor and Program Assistant said, "Tutoring is all about the interactive experience: discussion, group problem solving, and taking a fresh and creative approach to every session."
Many students like the interactive approach to small group tutoring. Esther Hoang, a student who took Physics during the Fall Semester, said, "it is helpful . . . If I didn't have this tutor group I would be failing the class." Andrea Wolf, also in Physics, added, "It helps you get the concepts down" and Dustin Volz, a student who took a course in Math, said, "It gives you a general review."
Small-group tutoring is beneficial because it is large enough to allow group interaction but small enough so the students are not afraid to ask questions. Students learn from the questions posed by the tutor but they also learn based on the questions asked by their peers. Tutoring can be a win-win for everyone in a small group but it is not a substitute for attending class or meeting with the professor. It is geared toward students who need supplemental help in learning course material.
Tutoring Services hires full-time students who have been recommended by faculty Our tutors have excellent communication skills and have excelled in their academics (for more details, see the accompanying box).
Students apply to be tutors for a number of reasons including the enjoyment of helping other students learn. However, tutors may get additional benefits from the experience.Jessica Kimple,a Spanish Tutor and Program Assistant,said, "Tutoring really deepened my own understanding of Spanish.Having to go back and explain fundamental concepts that I learned helped to cement them in my brain and brought further clarification."
Tutors gain a deeper understanding of the course material but also like the small group atmosphere and the informal nature of operating one of these groups. For example, the students can ask their tutor questions about a concept and in turn ask how to effectively study for the upcoming exam. Although challenges may exist for a tutor, the positive aspects outweigh the negative and therefore the majority of tutors return semester after semester.
As of this month, tutoring will be available in more than 20 courses. Other courses may be offered depending upon student demand and there may be a need for more tutors in a variety of disciplines.
Tutoring Services promotes learning. As we celebrate the fifth year of the program, growth in the service continues. If you are interested in requesting a tutor, or in being a tutor, please access http://www.tutoring.ku.edu or stop by 22 Strong Hall.
Supportive Educational Services
Need additional help in one of your courses? Not sure of what to major in or what classes to take? Interested in receiving additional money for school? If so, you need to know about Supportive Educational Services (SES). SES at the University of Kansas is a federally funded TRIO program designed to assist those who are either first-generation college students, students with a documented disability, or students who meet certain low-income guidelines excel and succeed in a university setting. Our goal is to help eligible students obtain a baccalaureate degree. We accomplish this mission by providing a variety of services to the students in our program such as academic advising, financial aid, career and graduate school counseling, scholarship, computer assistance, cultural events, educational workshops, resource library, drop-in tutoring for math and writing, and course specific individualized tutoring. A current student describes SES as "a wonderful program and support in place for student success - a much needed and extremely sensible service for students."
As part of Academic Success Week, Supportive Educational Services will be holding its Academic Success Bash on Wednesday, September 21 from 4-6 pm in the Courtside Room in the Burge Union. The event will include lots of educational and fun games such as Jayhawk Walk, Study Skills Jeopardy, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. In addition there will be lots of good food and prizes.

Faculty Food for Thought
Are there "weed-out" classes at KU? Do I actually need to read the textbook chapters before coming to class? Is it necessary to attend class to get a good grade? What are offices hours for? If I was a good student in high school, will I be a good student at KU?
Being a new student in college means having lots of questions. The classes are a lot larger, they meet less often, and have more homework than you expected. Unlike high school, you may not have friends to tell you what to expect from a teacher or the class they had the year before you. The material may be taught differently from what you have ever seen. You may be asked to refer to a syllabus, take tests in a blue book, and find assignments on Blackboard.
The Department of Student Housing, the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, and KU Dining Services have partnered to bring you a special opportunity to have your questions about classes, majors, and college-life answered by members of the KU faculty and academic advisors.
To prepare for the event,100 KU students were asked to submit the questions they would like to have answered for them by KU's faculty. By attending Faculty Food for Thought, you will benefit from your peers' thought-provoking questions and from the wisdom of professors and academic advisors.

Why should you attend Faculty Food for Thought? A.J. Strickland (sophomore from Washington, Kansas majoring in Biology) attended last year and shared that it was a great way to sit down with faculty and hear about their experiences and their advice about college in general. Peter Buchanan (senior majoring in English from Stillwater, Oklahoma) helped organize the program last fall for the scholarship halls. He shares: "Faculty Food for Thought gives students a chance to interact with professors outside the classroom. Freed from the bounds of the lecture hall, we have a rare opportunity to find out why they do what they do,and discover there is more to their lives than teaching."
We hope to see YOU at Faculty Food for Thought.

SUA to bring Coach Carter for Academic Success Week
On September 20th, Student Union Activities (SUA) will be hosting Coach Carter, the high school basketball coach who famously locked his championship players out of the gym until their grades improved, thus inspiring the recent popular film, Coach Carter. Coach Carter will speak to the campus community Tuesday at 8pm in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. This free lecture is part of Academic Success Week.
Ken Carter was the head coach of Richmond, California's basketball team from 1997 to 2002. Since that time, he has toured the country as a

Student Union Activities will also be showing the film Coach Carter in Woodruff Auditorium, Kansas Union Level 5, on Monday, September 19th, at 7:00pm. This 2005 movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, Ashanti, and Rob Brown (Finding Forrester) tells the story of the infamous lockout and will be shown for free.
One of the hallmarks of SUA's mission statement is to provide educational programs for the KU community. Recent speakers brought in part by SUA have included feminist and magazine editor Gloria Steinem, former Attorney General Janet Reno, director of Confederate States of America Kevin Wilmott, political commentary speaker James Carville, director of Supersize Me Morgan Spurlock, prize-winning Journalist Laurie Garrett, female artist activists the Guerilla Girls, and CNN anchorman Anderson Cooper. Panels on controversial issues such as religion and gay marriage have also been popular events.
In addition to its larger events, SUA hosts several regular events that place an academic-related topic in an entertaining setting.
- College Bowl, a yearly national quiz competition between teams of five members or less, will be held Saturday, December 3rd in the Kansas Union
- In an English class this semester? Check out the popular Poetry Slam series every first Wednesday of the month in the Hawks Nest.
- Every Thursday at 2:30 pm in Alderson Auditorium, SUA sponsors Meditation at which the week's selected speaker presents a meditation to music.
- Meditations are followed by Tea Time, an hour of free tea and treats in the Union. These Thursday afternoon activities provide a needed stress reliever from classes and often encourage intellectual conversations or course discussions.

Carter has an agent, his own Web site — www.coachcarter.com — and an ABC reality series in the works. He has his own non-profit foundation, a publishing company called Prime Time Publishing, through which he sells three instructional books he's written, and a sports apparel company called Prime Time Sports.
Ken Carter goes up for a shot during his playing days at Richmond High School, where he played in the 1970s and coached from 1997 to 2002.
Capitalizing on his fame? No, he says he's been doing all this since he left Richmond High in 2002.
"That was in place before the movie," he said of the agent, the Web site, the speaking engagements. "My lifestyle hasn't changed. A lot of people think that having a movie made about me starring Samuel L. Jackson will affect my lifestyle and how I do things.
I'm still Coach Ken Carter. I still enjoy being a coach, and that's what I will continue to be."
He says his heart lies not in his business prospects or speaking engagements, but in the Coach Ken Carter Foundation, which he established in 2002.
Through the foundation, he's worked in Richmond to set up grants for underprivileged kids, paired them with tutors, encouraged their families and created after-school programs.

A new case of family law at KU
Father and daughter attend the School of Law together
It was the first day of the semester, and Aimee Richardson walked into her first law school class through the back entrance.
1
She spotted a gray-haired man, one of the few people in the room without a laptop, and she faced the question: Do I sit with him, or not?
OK, she thought, I'll sit with Dad. If I don't, Mom will kill me.
Earl and Aimee Richardson, Lawrence father and daughter, venture onward in their first year of law school at the University. They both attended KU for their undergraduate degrees.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
This fall, Earl and Aimee Richardson of Lawrence began classes in the School of Law together at the University of Kansas. They are the first parent-child pair to enter the school in the same year that Mike Davis, interim dean and faculty member since 1971, can remember.
"I'd spent about 20 years working in newspapers, and I kind of felt it," Earl, 44, said. "I decided I wanted to make a change."
"I've been around here a long time, and that's new to me," Davis said.
He said he first became interested in law when he served as a juror in a fraud case in the late '80s. But he was too busy working 70- to 80-hour weeks as a photojournalist to switch gears.
When Aimee was born, Earl was starting his senior school studying journalism at the University of Kansas. After 23 years of working in the fast-paced newspaper business as a photographer, he's back at school with his firstborn child.
Things changed in 2003 when
"On the first day, she said, 'What would you do if I didn't sit with you? I said, 'Well, I'd have to go to the professor and ask him to change the seating assignment because my daughter has to sit with her dad."
Earl Richardson KU Law student
he left his position as director of photography of the Topeka Capital-Journal and concentrated on his photography business he'd started a couple of years earlier. Then, when a cousin his age enrolled in law school, he decided to give law school a try.
He said that he was probably the oldest person in the room when he had taken the Law School Admission Test.
"It was the first test I'd taken other than the driver's license open-book exam since 1983," he said. "It was hard to sit still for five hours."
"You reach a certain age where if you want to do something, you just have to do it." Earl said.
For Aimee, the decision to enroll in law school was more ordinary. She was starting her
last semester double-majoring in English and sociology when the realization that she would soon be joining the workforce sunk in.
"I freaked out and thought I needed a backup plan other than living in my parents' attic," she said.
Earl had already taken the LSAT by then and had been urging her to apply to law school for a year. So she went online one day, during winter break, to see when sign ups were for the LSAT. The deadline was that very day.
So she enrolled for the test at the last minute and passed it a few weeks later. Now she's in the School of Law with Dad.
"You come to grad school and

your old man's there." Earl said, "it's to be a total buzzkill for her."
She said she's getting used to finding her husband studying law books when she comes home from work.
"I get control of the remote now," she said.
"He's more diligent about homework than I am," she said.
And he's willing to help, just so long as she sits with him.
"On the first day, she said, 'What would you do if I didn't sit with you?' Earl said. "I said, 'Well, I'd have to go to the professor and ask him to change the seating assignment, because my daughter has to sit with her dad."

Manure-fueled plant comes to Kansas

WICHITA — A Dallas-based energy company announced yesterday that it will build an ethanol plant in southwest Kansas that will be powered with cattle manure.
Panda Energy's $120 million ethanol facility - the third manure-fueled plant the company has announced this year - would refine about 100 million gallons of ethanol from corn and milo that will be blended with gasoline to make fuel, the company said.
The other two are in Hereford, Texas and in Yuma, Colo.
The plant would use a billion pounds of manure each year. — The Associated Press

Bill could cost students financial aid
BY JOHN JORDAN
jfordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Members of a student lobbying group have been pressing to halt the passage of legislation through Congress that they say could cut many students off from financial aid.
The bill doesn't have an amendment that could have generated $12 billion in aid for students, Bender said. That money could be sent to different projects.
Josh Bender, president of the Student Legislation Awareness Board, SLAB, has been working to make students aware of a part of the Higher Education Act that he said would cut billions from financial aid for students.
Bender is trying to get students to write to their congressmen to tell them how important financial aid is to students and to vote against the act. The Senate education committee working on the act was focused on moving money to funding for vocational and technical training, said Craig Orfield, spokesman for the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
The act will be presented before the House of Representatives and the Senate in different forms.
He said he believed additional money from unforeseen savings in the budget could add money to grant programs. The bill still needs to be approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate, and changes could still be made. Orfield said that after that process is complete, additional funds could be found.
The effect on college aid will be seen when a final version of the bill is available. Orfield said.
POSSIBLE EFFECTS
These are some of the changes in the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act currently Before the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate
Last year, the University had 8,279 students with direct loans
The art keeps interest rates for student loans capped at 9.25 percent instead of lowering the rates to 6.8 percent

♦ The act limits Pell Grant loans to a maximum amount of $5,800 for the next six years.
and 3,144 students with Pell Grants, according to University records. Those two programs gave $43 million to students. The grants and loans could both be affected by the act. Bender said.
Source: The States Public Interest Research Groups
Stephanie Covington, associate director of office of student financial aid, said increases in interests rates could cost students $1,800 if interest rates aren't lowered, like Congress agreed to do in 2001.
SLAB has been urging student senators to write to their congressmen for two weeks. Nathan Ladd, Effingham senior and College of Liberal Arts senator, said students might not know how letters affect congressmen.
She also said that interest rates have been lower than the maximum in recent years.
"The letter-writing campaign is a whole lot more important than you think," Ladd said to members of Student Senate Wednesday.

The proposal was passed in the committee last week as part of the Higher Education Act reauthorization legislation, Congress has not voted on it. Gorkem Sevinc, Nicosia, Cyprus, junior, said the government shouldn't be spending money for education on relief.
"The hurricane is a bad thing,
everyone knows that," Sevinc said, "but I believe that money from education should go to people being educated."
Sevince said he thought the money could go specifically to student aid for hurricane victims in college.
He said he had a friend from Tulane University that had to transfer to Washington University in St. Louis.The family had to pay extra for an apartment and tuition there.
Andrew Shaw, a legislative assistant for Rep. Dennis Moore,
D-Kan., said Moore couldn't comment on the legislation until he had seen the specific bill. Shaw said Congress had been working on streamlining the budget; cuts made would provide the extra money for the donation.
Shaw said Rep. Moore was concerned about cuts from the Higher Education Act.

"There's been concern with keeping levels of aid consistent with the rising levels of tuition," Shaw said.

Publications teach students
Whitney Englert/KANSAN
Tyler Childs, Joplin, Mo., junior, flips through the stack of CDs he received recently. He created an online magazine during his senior year of high school that is steadily expanding. Tyler was involved with the local bank kick off at the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St. on Sept. 10, where the local bank Connor performed.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Natalie McAllister, Topeka junior, and Nate Barbarick, Olathe senior, received $1,200 from Student Senate last week.
McAllister and Barbarick president and vice president of Student Writer's Association. The, would like to create a magazine that would help KU students use publications to get into graduate school.
The magazine would include fiction, screenplays and short stories.
McAllister said the money provided by Student, Senate would cover only about half of what the magazine would actually need, and a fundraiser may be considered to raise the rest.
"Our club just started last spring, and we are already hoping to have the journal come out sometime this year," she said. "So we're doing pretty well."
A new magazine may soon start, but literary magazines and other publications are nothing new to the University of Kansas.
Student publications provide a place to write and display work that tests the limits of conventional publications, such as newspapers, said Joe Morgan, Wichita senior and Kiosk editor-in-chief. He said he printed a how-to story last year about how to snort cocaine off a friend's rear end.
Kiosk, the student literary and art publication on campus, pushed the limits last year with conceptual design. Instead of a traditional booklet, it included twenty postcards, a miniposter and book of poetry and prose in a box.
But student publications are not just fun and games. They also teach students about the difficulties that accompany the creative and collaborative processes of putting out a publication.
"We had to assemble the whole thing by hand for about two-anda-half days. That sucked," Morgan said, of last year's Kiosk.
Jacky Carter, Shawnee senior served two years as director of production for the "Jayhawker," the University's student yearbook.
Carter said working on a publication for the University was an endeavor because of limited funding and support.
Carter said she was worried about the "jayhawker's" future because funding and interest were dwindling.
"It was extremely difficult producing a book for the student body with a core of only four people," Carter said. "Some weekends we would hardly see the light of day because we had
"I hope the yearbook stays around to help people remember their time at KU," she said.
to get pages ready for an upcoming deadline."
paper and then copied at Office Max. Childs said the magazine looked awful, and everyone thought it was lame.
The magazine was about a two-paged pamphlet with content literally cut and pasted onto
Tyler Childs, Joplin, Mo., junior, said challenges arose when he decided to use his own money three years ago to start a private publication. Lo Fidelity Press.
"The first band interview was Jimmy Eat World. I just went backstage and said I was working for my school newspaper. That was an absolute lie, but I got to interview them," he said.
Childs brought Lo Fidelity to college and has continued to work on it in his spare time. Over the years he has had the opportunity to interview or review shows for the Hives, Al Green, 50 Cent, Keane and Fall Out Boy.
He said the publication, which is available only online at www. lofidelitypress.com, appeals to people who are passionate about all types of music.
"Although it has been a lot of work, the rewards have significantly outweighed the costs," he said.
"For many writers and artists at the undergrad level, this may be their first opportunity to publish their creative efforts," he said. "A school with a journalism department but no newspaper would be absurd. So a school with creative writers ought to have a forum for the recognition of talent."
Morgan said publications such as Kiosk were important for students majoring in English and design.
"If the only people reading the book are other designers and other English majors, then we've failed," Morgan said. "The political voice is loud, but the creative voice, the voice of introspection and observation, is quiet and subtle. It is this type of student voice that can be so compelling."
Even though Morgan said Kiosk's primary role was to give an outlet to writers and artists, he would like to see everyone on campus to enjoy the magazine.
He said he was leaning toward a more adult venue but that he would wait to make that decision until later in the bar's development.

Iraqis run from the area as a British Warrior fighting vehicle burns in Basra, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad yesterday. British forces and demonstrators exchanged gunfire in the southern city of Basra after two British men were arrested for allegedly gunning down an Iraqi police officer, authorities and witnesses said yesterday.
Iraqis accuse British of raiding city prison
BY ABBAS FAYADH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BASRA, Iraq — British armored vehicles broke down the walls of the central jail in this southern city yesterday and freed two British soldiers, allegedly undercover commandos arrested for shooting two Iraqi policemen, witnesses said. But London said the two men were released as a result of negotiations.
The different versions of events came on a chaotic day that raised questions about how much sovereignty Iraqi authorities really were granted when the U.S.-led Coalition Provision Authority handed over power to an interim Iraqi government in the summer of 2004.
The arrests of the two British soldiers yesterday appeared to have been the first real and public test of how far that sovereignty extends.
There have been no known incidents of Iraqi authorities
arresting U.S. soldiers operating in the Iraqi heartland.
Mohammed al-Waiali, the governor of Basra province, condemned the British for raiding the prison, an act he called "barricic, savage and irresponsible"
"A British force of more than 10 tanks backed by helicopters attacked the central jail and destroyed it. This is an irresponsible act," al-Waail said, adding that the British force had spirited the prisoners away to an unknown location.
Aquil Jabbar, an Iraqi television cameraman who lives across the street from the Basra jail, said about 150 Iraqi prisoners fled as British commandos stormed inside and rescued their comrades.
Late yesterday, the Ministry of Defense in London said the two British soldiers were freed after negotiations.
A spokesman said he had no information suggesting the soldiers were freed as a result of overt military action, but
stopped short of denying reports that British armored tanks crashed through the walls of the jail to free British soldiers arrested by the Iraqi police.
According to the BBC, Defense officials insisted they had been talking to the Iraqi authorities to secure the release of the men, but acknowledged a wall was demolished as British forces tried to "collect" the two prisoners.
While the Shiite-dominated south of Iraq, where 8,500 British troops are based, has been far quieter than Sunni regions to the north.
British forces in Iraq have come under increasingly frequent attacks in recent weeks.
The British military has reported 96 deaths since the war began in 2003.
That compares with the deaths of 1,899 Americans who are stationed nearer the violent insurgent regions around Baghdad and stretching west to the Syrian border.

HURRICANE KATRINA
Storm threatens weakened New Orleans
大津市中村郡 栄田町 福島県
Bill Feig/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mud covers the area in the 9th Ward section of New Orleans. As the floodwaters recede, houses are in ruins, and others have floated off their foundations and bumped up against their neighbors. Facing the possibility of another tropical storm or hurricane hitting the city, mayor Ray Nagin again ordered all residents out of New Orleans yesterday.
NEW ORLEANS — Under pressure from President Bush and other top federal officials, the mayor suspended the reopening of large portions of the city yesterday and instead ordered nearly everyone out because of the risk of a new round of flooding from a tropical storm on the way.
"If we are off, I'd rather err on the side of conservatism to make sure we have everyone out." Mayor Rav Nagin said.
BY MICHAEL RUBINKAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The announcement came after repeated warnings from top federal officials — and the president himself — that New Orleans was not safe enough to reopen. Among other things, federal officials warned that Tropical Storm Rita could breach the city's temporarily patched-up levees and swamp the city all over again.
The death toll from Hurricane Katrina rose to 973 across the Gulf Coast, with the number in Louisiana alone rising by 90 to 736.
The mayor reversed course even as residents began trickling back to the first neighborhood opened, the lightly damaged Algiers section.
Nagin said he had wanted to reopen some of the city's signature neighborhoods over the coming week in order to reassure the people of New Orleans that "there was a city to come back to." He said he had strategically selected ZIP codes that had suffered little or no flooding.
But "now we have conditions that have changed. We have another hurricane that is approaching us," Nagin said. He warned that the city's pumping system was not yet running at full capacity and that the levees were still in a "very weak position."
He ordered residents who circumvented checkpoints and slipped back into the still officially closed parts of the city to leave immediately. Those areas include
the historic French Quarter, the Garden District, Uptown and the central business district.
Nagin also urged those settled back into Algiers to be ready to evacuate as early as Wednesday. The city requested 200 buses to the aid the evacuation, his office said.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, in a televised address yesterday, urged residents of coastal southwest Louisiana to also make preparations to leave. More evacuees would strain the shelters in Texas, so she urged people to head for central and northern Louisiana instead.
"We will pray that Rita will not devastate Louisiana, but today we do not know the answer
to that question," Blanco said.
Tropical Storm Rita was headed toward the Florida Keys and was expected to become a hurricane, cross the Gulf of Mexico and reach Texas or Mexico by the weekend. Forecasters said it could veer toward Louisiana and New Orleans' weakened levees.
With the approach of Rita, Bush said he had "deep concern" about the possibility that New Orleans' levees could be breached again.
In addition, Bush said there were significant environmental concerns. Fears of contamination in the remaining floodwaters and the muck left behind in drained areas of New Orleans are still a concern.
"We're watching Tropical Storm Rita's projected path and, depending on its strength and how much rain falls, everything could change," said Col. Duane Gapinski, of the Army Corps of Engineers task force that is draining New Orleans and repairing the levees. Brig. Gen Robert Crear said the Corps hoped to have the levees capable of handling a Category 3 storm by June, the start of the next hurricane season.
Under the mayor's plan, Algiers opened yesterday, and Uptown, the Garden District and the French Quarter were supposed to reopen between Wednesday and next Monday, bringing a total about 180,000 of New Orleans' half-million inhabitants back.
"The mayor — you know, he's got this dream about having a city up and running, and we share
warned that such a move could be a few weeks premature, pointing out much of the area does not yet have full electricity and still has no drinkable water, 911 service or working hospitals.
The dispute over that plan was the latest example of the lack of federal-local coordination that has marked the disaster practically from the start.
Nagin saw a quick reopening as a way to get the storm-battered city back in the business of luring tourists. But federal officials
that dream," the president said. "But we also want to be realistic about some of the hurdles and obstacles that we all confront in repopulating New Orleans."
Bush said White House chief of staff Andrew Card had been pressing the matter with Nagin. The concerns were also echoed by the top federal official in charge in New Orleans, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, who went on one news show after another to warn that city services may not be able to handle the influx of people.
Before reversing course yesterday, a clearly agitated Nagin snapped that Allen had apparently made himself "the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans."
About 20 percent of the city is still flooded, down from a high of about 80 percent after Katrina, and the water was expected to be pumped out by Sept. 30.
But officials with the Army Corps of Engineers said the repairs to the levees breached by Katrina were not yet strong enough to prevent flooding in a moderate storm, much less another hurricane.
nagin did not give any specifics about how he plans to enforce the evacuation.
In the French Quarter, about a half-mile from where Nagin made his announcement, businesses were up and running, and bars were serving cold beers to National Guardsmen and passers-by. Del Juneau, owner of a Bourbon Street lingerie shop, said it would be premature to order an evacuation based on the storm nearing Florida.
"Where are you going to go? What are you going to do?" he said. "I'm not going anywhere."
Down the street at the Famous Door, bartender C.B. Dover, said: "If we have a forced evacuation, we'll go. If it's not forced, we're not going anywhere." Dover said the mayor "has been overreacting the whole time. He's reacting emotionally, and you can't do that."

New logo a no-go
The University of Kansas is in the midst of a visual face-lift. At the helm of this revamping is the University's integrated marketing plan, which aims to better-tell the success story of the University and unify the visual message presented to outside sources. The most noticeable change resulting from the campaign is the new KU logo in the Trajan typeface.
According to the integrated marketing plan's Web site, one of the overall goals of the new logo and marketing campaign is "to do a better job sharing with our best college-bound students the strength and value of KU." The question then becomes, how effective can a symbol be at changing the identity of an academic institution? Also, if the goal is to show the strength of a KU education, what better way to showcase this than to have a KU student design the new logo?
The samples provided to the University by design firm LandreyMorrow Inc. as part of the new marketing plan were the initials "KU" in four different typefaces, a design that essentially could have been done on a personal computer. While it is true that the $88,900 cost of the design was paid for using private funds, the opportunity for KU students to have an opportunity to design a new logo is forever lost to the student body.
Our University's most recognizable symbol, the Jayhawk, was itself independently designed by KU student Harold "Hal" Sandy in 1946 who sold the logo to the University when he graduated. If the University had given KU students the opportunity to design the new logo, the University would not only have gained an enduring new symbol, but would have been able to use the new logo in the integrated marketing campaign as an example of the excellent work students can do at a top-notch university.
From the onset of the new integrated marketing plan, the University has been careful to address people's concerns about what the new logo would actually entail. Knowing people would be worried the famous Jayhawk would be in danger, David Johnston, director of marketing for the University, was quoted as saying in a July 6 article in the Kansan, "The new logo is to fill in the gap between the fun and informal Jayhawk and the formal and official seal." The integrated marketing Web site echoes this same idea stating "KU is best known visually through our ubiquitous Jayhawk mascot. This WILI
NOT CHANGE" (emphasis added by the Web site).
However, in a Sept. 15 article in the Kansan, plans were announced to add the new KU design in the Trajan typeface to the existing 1946 Jayhawk. This decision was surprising because of the lengths the University had gone through to assure the public the new logo would be just what the name implies, a new separate logo.
So, one might argue that the combination of these two symbols is necessary as part of the unified visual identity the University wants to present, but we look at this as overwriting the commitment the University made to maintain the sanctity and tradition of the existing Jayhawk. The University has a challenge ahead of itself in getting people to accept a change in such a prominent symbol.
Altering the Jayhawk is basically the same as altering 60 years of history. If the purpose of the new logo in the Trajan typeface was to be a new logo then it should do just that, stand alone as the sole representation of the University as part of the new visual identity.

Here are some ride-lines
You step out of your class, tired from the night before, and all of a sudden you hear a "zzzIIIIIPPP" and feel a breeze across your face as someone rides rudely past you on the sidewalk while they yell at you to get out of their way.
The Kansas Department of Transportation says that bicycles are legal vehicles allowed on roadways, but restricted on highways. KDOT states within its side path law that, "if there is a usable pathway dedicated to bikes, then it must be used."
The controversy with this is what stipulates as "usable." KDOT said the meaning of "usable" is up to the local authorities.
Some bikers might think it's funny to almost clip pedestrians, but it's not. For starters, those actions are illegal, and second, it just isn't nice. I guess we need a cyclists' education class. It has definitely not occurred to many bikers to know the laws of cycling, and that sidewalks should be safe pathways for people walking to and from class, not another extension of the road.
Unfortunately, the University of Kansas campus and the city of Lawrence have a liberal (used as "loose," not the political definition) policy for what "usable" means.
P
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said, "We follow the same city ordinances for traffic." The receptionist for the Lawrence Police Department informed me, "It is not illegal to cycle on the sidewalk except for downtown Mass[assusetts] Street."
SARA GARLICK opinion@kansan.com
This should not be the case. If you have ever been on campus, then you've obviously seen some cyclists who do not yield to a pedestrian, which is against laws for cyclists. If it is illegal to walk in the street when a sidewalk is provided, (a law the KDOT mandates for pedestrians) then it should be illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalk.
I'm glad to know that my out-of-state tuition that should go toward the making of the campus "a beautiful and safer place" instead goes toward only those programs the administration sees fit.
I guess the safety of the majority of students who walk on the sidewalks along Jayhawk Blvd. does not matter to the local authorities and the administration.
Maybe if Chancellor Robert Hemenway, student body President Nick Sterner or Gov Kathleen Sebelius were on campus and had a cyclist run into them, they might think about changing the cycling
laws.
Reckless cyclists give fellow cyclists who ride properly and the KU Cyclists Club a bad wrap. They clearly need to get off the roads and sidewalks. Take the bus instead. That way you can't run over anyone unless you become a bus driver.
I'm certainly not the only one fed up by this issue. I've observed several people get upset at nearly getting hit on Wescoe Beach and in front of Stauffer-Flint.
Christian Beer, sophomore and vice president of the KU Cycling Club, said, "They [reckless cyclists] shouldn't ride on the sidewalks because they are designed for pedestrians.
"If you know how to ride safely, then the road is nothing to be afraid of. If you can't ride safely, then you shouldn't be riding at all."
I definitely miss the East Coast and visiting New York City where it is illegal to ride on the side-walk-except for the police. I'm glad to know that KSDOT is looking out for the welfare of all KU students when they allow cyclists to zip on by on sidewalks. That breaks another law saying that cyclists on a usable path should not go any faster then the pedestrians walking. Seriously, why have laws if no one enforces them?

rooms have to be shut down. It is very important that everyone who is eligible and willing to give their blood as often as they can, which is usually about every 56 days. We, however, want this to be done in a safe manner.
President calls for blood
We would love for this blood drive to be one of the most successful yet! It will be held the week of Sept. 26, and our goal is to collect more than 1,000 units.
Greetings fellow KU students.
It can easily be done with all of the awesome people we have here at the University! Just make sure everything is done in a safe manner so that every unit of blood counts. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the blood drive this semester.
The reason I am writing you is to address some concerns that have recently been brought before the blood drive committee.
It is possible some people may have been pressured into donating, which is a very serious problem. According to laws put in place by the American Red Cross and Community Blood Centers; if anyone reports being forced to donate, all pints of blood collected up to that point will have to be thrown out and the drive will be shut down. The reasoning for this is the possible risk of someone receiving contaminated blood.
A person forced to donate may lie about having a blood-borne illness that could easily be passed on to others. If one person reports being pressured into donating blood, there is no way to know who else may have been pressured.
So, to keep recipients from becoming sick, every single unit of blood collected must be discarded.
I am sure donors don't want their blood to go to waste, and neither do the people who so desperately need it. The blood that gets collected at the University's week-long drive goes out to many hospitals across this whole region. Without blood, hospitals and emergency

A new way to find that perfect seat

Officials say system treats all equally
BY RVAN SCHNEIDER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A new tradition may be starting this year for some men's basketball fans.
The Kansas Athletics Department held its first select-a-seat program for seats at men's basketball games yesterday. The order of seat selection was determined based on donations to the Williams Educational Fund.
Season ticket holders were assigned times to come to Allen Fieldhouse for the event. They were accompanied by athletics department officials to select their seats from diagrams of sections in the fieldhouse.
Ticket holders had already selected several sections in which they would like to sit. That list was then compared to sections with available seats. They also had the opportunity to see the view of the court from their new seats.
"I've actually had positive reaction," Rodney Jones, Williams Fund director, said. "This way there's no surprises when they get tickets in the mail."
Because the times were assigned, many families sent representatives to the fieldhouse to select their seats for the coming season.
Chris and James Allen selected seats for their vacationing parents, Mark and Louise Allen of Overland Park. Mark Allen is the grandson of Kansas basketball coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen.
Rodney Jones Williams Fund director
keep the same seats they had last season in section H, on the lower level.
"It was a pretty simple process," Chris Allen said. "Our parents had preference, like first, second and third or just whatever was available."
Alicia Rieder, fourth year season-ticket holder, said her family increased its Williams Fund donation in order to improve its seats. She said her seats last season were in section 6, on the top row. Her family's seats this season will be in section 7, in the chair-back section.
"I've actually had positive reaction. This way there's no surprises when they get tickets in the mail."
The Allen family was able to
Rieder said it was possible to lose seats on the bleachers because other fans were constantly shifting during games.
"The advantage to the chairback is that your seat is always there," Rieder, Lawrence resident, said.
Several ticket holders with more than four or five tickets
had difficulty finding seats together in the lower chair-back sections.
Andy and Donna Perry, St. Mary residents, said they were not able to get their first or second selections. They said they had to move up several sections to find six seats together. Several sections only had one or two seats together in the same row. They were, however, able to find
better seats than last season.
"We're very happy," Andy Perry said. "We moved down 12 rows from last year. I'm very pleased."
The process reflected the view of Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins. Jones said.
"It's a system that's put in place to treat people equally," Jones said.
The select-a-seat program was first used by the Athletics Department for football season- ticket holders this season.

Last season, ticket holders were assigned seats by the Athletics Department based on donations to the Williams Fund. Specific sections only were available to ticket holders who met the minimum point requirements.

Crowds still flock despite gas prices
General manager Denny Stoecklein said fair attendance rose as gas prices did. He said crowds on Saturday and Sunday
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUTCHINSON — High gas prices kept some people away from the Kansas State Fair, but officials were happy with this year's attendance figures.
— the fair's final days — were large, but it will be several weeks before he has a final tally on the number of tickets sold.
"Overall, we're real thrilled," general manager Denny Stoecklein said. "It's gone great."
The biggest draw was a grandstand performance of Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion, which packed in about 9,000 spectators. The two-hour show reaches more than 4 million listeners weekly on 558 public radio stations, as well as American networks in Europe and the Far East.
Many people who attended the live broadcast were firsttime fairgoers or had not been to a grandstand show before, Stoecklein said.
STATE FAIR
Although there was still country on the menu this year, the flavor of choice was rock: alternative, classic, even Christian.
Fair officials were briefly caught off guard by country singer Trace Adkins' emergency appendectomy, which forced him to cancel Sunday night's performance. After learning of the situation Saturday morning, organizers were able to line up "Nashville Star" runner-up Buddy Jewell to fill in.
"To pull off something like that on a day's notice on a weekend — we were pretty pleased," Stoecklein said.

Big 12 honors Perkins
Senior linebacker Brandon Perkins was named the SBC Big 12 Conference defensive player of the week, yesterday,
after recording a school record five sacks in Kansas' 34-14 victory against Louisiana Tech.
"We are very happy for him, and the entire defense." Kansas football coach Mark
Perkins
Mangino said. "Brandon does an excellent job of understanding leverage, and he understands how to fundamentally beat blocks. Quietly, he's been one of our best defensive players the last two or three years."
Perkins helped the Kansas defense record seven sacks during Saturday's contest and upped his team leading sack total to six on the season.
Texas A&M quarterback Reggie McNeal was named offensive player of the week, and Nebraska punter Sam Koch was named special teams player of the week.

The athletics department had collected money outside the stadium for the first two games and raised an additional $5,000.

"We met with several people on campus after the hurricane," Marchiony said. "We told them, 'We will do whatever we can to help.'"

Conference play begins

Mangino says team is readv
The Kansas football team finished pre-conference play with a 3-10 record and changes few expected. Junior Adam Barmann was the team's starting quarterback before the season, and junior running back Jon Cornish was believed to be only a role player.
Now, Barmann has lost his starting job to senior Brian Luke, and Cornish has scored five touchdowns in three games. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said that he believed the team was where he thought it would be after completing the non-conference games.
"I think we are well-prepared for conference play now," Mangimo said. "We have to be able to prove now that we can go out on the road and win, and I think we can."
The first road game is Oct. 1 at Texas Tech. Kansas has struggled on the road, as it has won just one road conference game during Mangino tenure.
"We have some really mature kids in our program, and there is no question that they are ready to play on the road and prove that they can win on the road," Mangino said.
The defense showed improvement by racking up four interceptions in its final non-conference game. Senior linebacker Nick Reid said he thought that the defense still has work to do.
"We played better, yes, but it's not where we want to be." Reid said of the defense's performance against Louisiana Tech. "It's a great feeling to be 3-0 and know that you have so much room for improvement."
After running for more than 200 yards in the first two games of the season, the Jayhawks mustered just 41 yards last week. Mangino said
"We have some really mature kids in our program, and there is no question that they are ready to play on the road and prove that they can win on the road."
Mark Mangino
Kansas football coach
he planned to make improvements on team's running game before the conference opener on Oct. 1.
"I want to find out why we ran the ball well the first two weeks," Mangino said. "I think that we need to get in the mentality of finishing blocks."
While the offense was productive in the team's first two games, it struggled in the final as they accumulated just 277 yards of total offense against Louisiana Tech after Kansas averaged 406.5 yards in the first two games. Mangino said he didn't think the team had withheld anything offensively.
"We have got a thick playbook, so we can't play everything in the first three games," Mangino said. "There are things in our offense that just didn't fit the first three games we played. We are doing things that we thought were appropriate against the defenses."
Mangino said the team needed to do a better job throwing the football to different receivers. He said that getting more players catching passes would open up the defense.

Strong doubles play highlights weekend
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
A weekend trip to the Hurricane Invitational in Tulsa, Okla., was all it took for the Kansas tennis team to establish itself against Big 12 Conference competition.
The lajahawks scored big victories against the Sooners of Oklahoma, who were ranked in the 2005 Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings. Senior Christine Skoda, junior Brittany Brown, sophomore Lauren Hommell and freshmen Ksenia Bukina and Edina Horvath all notched victories against the Sooners. Kansas had a 5-1 tournament record in singles matches against Oklahoma.
Brown and Skoda led the way for the Jayhawks in singles play, finishing with records of 2-0 and 3-0, respectively. Brown said her performance in the tournament was better than how she was playing before the weekend.
"We came out aggressive at the net. It blew them off the court. They just sat back and we went after them. We poached on their shots and moved up to the net."
Bukina Brown
Sophomore
"It's always good to get wins against Oklahoma," Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It was exciting tennis. Everyone played well and I was very pleased with the doubles."
Kansas held its own against other opponents as well, including Oklahoma State, Wichita State, Missouri State and Tulsa.
"I hit more of my shots. I didn't push as much," Brown said. "The tournament was good for my confidence."
"We came out aggressive at the net," Brown said. "It blew them off the court. They just sat back and we went after them. We poached on their shots and moved up to the net. We really got after it."
This will be the third year Brown and
Brown and Skoda tallied three wins with no losses, which included victories over Missouri State, Wichita State and Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane finished ranked in the 2005 ITA standings as well.
The doubles teams of sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva and Bukina, Brown and Skoda, and Hommell
and Horvath finished the weekend with a cumulative 8-2 record.
Skoda have played doubles together
Skoda sat out Sunday because of soreness. Sophhore Stephanie Smith played in her place, defeating her only opponent. The only team to cause problems for the Jayhawks was Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks finished 3-3 in singles against the Cowboys.
"I think Skoda and I work well as a team, Brown said. "I always feel like we are going to win."
"OSU on Friday gave us some trouble," Hall-Holt said. "Opening up the season is always tough. We worked the kinks out later, though."
Hall-Holt said the tournament allowed Kansas to get a look at teams it will play during the spring.
"Considering it's our first meet, we played well," Hall-Holt said. "I'd rank our performance close to 9 out of 10."
Kansas will be in action again on Sept. 30 in the Indiana Invitational from Bloomington, Ind.

University retracts secondary violations reported to NCAA
Ryan Schneider
The Kansas Athletics Department has announced it has notified the NCAA to remove two violations the University self-reported in June.
The two secondary violations involved improper off-campus academic meetings between three football recruits and two faculty members in December 1998.
The report alleged that the meetings occurred between the three recruits and Florence Boldridge, Director of Diversity Programs for the School of Engineering, and John Michel, Speech, Language and Hearing professor.
An attorney hired by the department concluded that the reported meeting did not occur, following interviews with Boldridge and Michel. The attorney, Rick Evrard, has notified the NCAA that the University wishes to remove the violations from the report.
"Ms. Boldridge and Mr. Michel have been outstanding ambassadors for the University of Kansas, educating numerous prospective student athletes about the University." Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said. "They did nothing wrong, and we are truly sorry we included their names in the self-report."

Saints blame loss on performance
NFL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — To the New Orleans Saints, last night's bizarre "home" opener was unfair from the outset. And they played like they did:1 want to be there in losing 27-10 to the New York Giants.
"They made this seem like the Super Bowl," quarterback Aaron Brooks said of the NFL and the hoopla after New Orleans had six turnovers and 13 penalties. "We played a team that outplayed us today, but it was way overdone. Setting up a stage, traveling out here, was uncalled for.
"Try not to patronize us next time, traveling us to New York, saying we're playing a home game."
Added coach Jim Haslett: "We were in the visiting locker room, on the visiting field. It seemed like an away game."
The Giants, visitors in name and jersey color only, had no complaints. Playing before 68,031 of their fans, they took advantage of New Orleans' sloppiness from the first play, a fumbled kickoff. Tiki Barber scored two touchdowns and the defense had four sacks.
"It was supposedly their home game, but we just played like it was our home game," said Giants defensive end Osi Umenjiora, who had two sacks.
NFL nomads after the damage to the Superdome and New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina, the Saints were given a home game here by the league. Historically more successful on the road under Haslett (25-17 going in), they couldn't overcome critical mistakes in falling to 1-1.
Efforts to make this resemble something akin to home appeared minimal at Giants Stadium, where -- surprisingly, considering the local team's popularity -- about 10,000 seats went unoccupied. Those in attendance generally were dressed in Giants blue and, except for mild applause when the entire Saints squad came onto the field before the coin toss, they rooted for their guys.
One end zone had SAINTS painted in white and a few Saints banners were scattered along the blue bunting on the lower level. Other than a www.saint-shurricanefund.org sign on the message board, everything about the night said New Jersey, not New Orleans.
"It could go on and on like this, we have to take this one week at a time," Brooks said. "At some point, it is going to wear down on us. We've got to be strong enough and mature enough to handle this situation and accept the responsibilities given to us."
While they could be excused if their minds were elsewhere, Saints players have insisted that on game day, nothing distracts them from football. It looked that way in last week's upset of Carolina. It looked decidedly different Monday night.
"I think the guys have gone a great job of focusing on football in practices and meetings," Haslett said. "It did not reflect that today. It didn't carry over."
In the first half alone, the Saints committed 11 penalties for 72 yards, including an illegal contact by Sedrick Hodge that negated a third-down sack and set up the Giants' third touchdown.
"We've been in four complexes in four weeks, I've been in three hotels, now an apartment," Haslett noted. "But that (performance) had nothing to do with where we live or what we do. We sucked on that field today."
At least the Saints' other seven home games will be played closer to home: four in Baton Rouge, La., and three in San Antonio, where they train. For this one, they had to dress in the cramped visitors' locker room, with a makeshift Saints sign hung above the entrance.
The Glants (2-0) benefited in every way from the NFLs decision, beginning with the opening kickoff. Some Saints trickery immediately backfired. Michael Lewis handed off the return to Fred McAfee, who tumbled at the 10, with Chase Blackburn recovering. Three plays later, to tumultuous cheers for the "visitors", rookie Brandon Jacobs squeezed into the end zone for a 7-0 lead.
Hardly the start the Saints needed, and it didn't get much better. The Giants took a 14-0 lead on Barber's 6-yard reception.
But the Saints are nothing if not resilient, and they came back with an 86-yard drive that was almost all Joe Horn. He had two catches of 15 yards, then a 21-yard touchdown reception. It was Horn whose cell phone antics in a game against the Giants two years ago drew him a measure of fame -- and a $30,000 fine.

Royals beat Tigers avoid 100th loss
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Stairs had three hits, including a three-run homer, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 10-4 Monday night before their smallest home crowd in 10 years.
The Tigers are 4-15 in September, and with 82 losses are assured of their 12th consecutive losing season.
The Royals, who have lost 99 games, drew an announced attendance of 8,915. That is the smallest crowd to see a Royals' home game since July 5, 1995, when 7,511 watched them play Boston.
Stairs homered in the first after Mike Sweeney snapped an 0-for-11 skid with a single. Terrence Long was also on after a single.
Mike Wood (5-7) was 0-3 in four starts before earning his first victory since Aug. 20, when he helped snap the Royals' franchise-record 19-game losing streak. He is 2-3 in eight starts since moving into the rotation on Aug. 9.
Wood gave up four runs and eight hits, including home runs by Carlos Pena and Chris Shelton, in 5 2-3 innings before being replaced by rookie reliever Ambiorix Burgos. He walked one and struck out four.
The Royals made it 5-2 in the fourth. Angel Berroa's double scored Emil Brown, who opened the inning with a single, and Andres Blanco's sacrifice fly scored Berroa.
The Royals scored three more runs in the fifth and chased Tigers starter Jeremy Bonderman (14-13). The inning included doubles by Stairs, Berroa and Mark Teahen. John Buck contributed a run-scoring single, his third hit.
Shelton homered in the first. Ivan Rodriguez, who leads all active players with a .357 average against the Royals, doubled home Placido Polanco in the fourth with the second Detroit run.
Bonderman gave up seven runs and 11 hits in 4 2-3 innings. He has lost four straight starts and seven of eight.
The Royals added a run in the sixth, which Aaron Guiel led off with a double and scored on a Sweeney single.

Runner continues winning tradition
Sophomore uses routine, dedication to build on his history of success

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Sophomore runner Colby Wissel trained nearly all year for the cross country season, but it's what he did before coming to the University of Kansas that has helped him succeed.
Wissel came to the University from Kearney High School in Elm Creek, Neb., because this was the place he wanted to be.
Wissel started running cross country during junior high but didn't become serious about it until his sophomore year of high school, after being hurt while playing football his freshman year.
"I took a visit here, and I just really liked the kids on the team." Wissel said. "I thought I could really fit in with them. I also thought this would be a good place for me to come and develop as a student and as an athlete."
Individually, he won the Nebraska state cham-
He owns the state record for the 1600 and 3200-meter run, he and was crowned the Kearney Hub Athlete of the year in 2004.
I took a visit here, and I just really like the kids on the team. I thought I could really fit in with them. I also thought this would be a good place for me to come and develop as a student and as an athlete."
Besides winning state three consecutive years, he also helped his team win the state championship his senior year.
Colby Wissel Sophomore runner
Wissel holds various other records in Nebraska.
This season he has started with two
priorship in cross country his sophomore, junior and senior years of high school.
2004 Last season Wissel finished as the second-best runner on the Kansas cross country team.
He was named the Gatorade track athlete of the year in 2003 and 2004.
he has started with two first place finishes at the Bob Timmons Invitational and the KU/KSU Dual.
Other than being an athlete, Wissel said he was a normal college student. Outside of the practices and races he said that the team hangs out a lot together.
"It's exciting to know that I'm improving and the hard work is starting to pay off," he said.
"Every week we're working hard, and it is kind of nice to just get some relaxation in there," said Wissel.
Though school takes up a lot of time, he said that athletes can't forget why they came to Kansas: to be the best athlete and student they can be.
Wissel also said that it was an honor to run
for Kansas and that he knew what he came here to do.
After having this weekend off, both the men's and the women's cross country teams will be competing in the Roy Griak Invitational, which will be held this Saturday in Minneapolis, Minn.

NCAA BASKETBALL Padgett breaks foot in pickup game
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Former Kansas basketball player David Paddett will be sidelined six to eight weeks after breaking a bone in his right foot and spraining his ankle in a pickup game
The Louisville sophomore center fractured the fifth metatarsal and is doubtful to be available when the Cardinals

begin the 2005-06 season, their first in the Big East.
Padgett, who sat out last season after transferring from Kansas in 2004, was expected to fill the frontline void left by the graduation of Ellis Myles, the team's leading rebounder last season.
Juan Palacios hurt his right foot in a pickup game on July 13 and has been sidelined since.
Padgett is the second Cardinal to be injured in the offseason.
"This is the most disappointing preseason I've experienced in a long time," Pitino said. "We'll look for the silver lining, and when I can find it, I'll let everyone know."
Padgett started 19 games as a freshman for the Jayhawks in 2003-04, averaging 6.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.

He shot 53.1 percent from the field and blocked a teamhigh 43 shots, the second highest for a Kansas freshman.
The Cardinals finished 33-5 last season and reached the Final Four before being shellacked by the Fighting Illini of Illinois. 72-57. Illinois lost to North Carolina in the national championship.

Quarterback makes switch to receiver
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Being unranked and the only team in the Big 12 without a winning record isn't stopping Oklahoma from making plans and plowing straight ahead.
Paul Thompson, who began the season as No. 1 quarterback, is switching to wide receiver, coach Bob Stoops announced yesterday. Thompson played the last two games behind redshirt freshman quarterback Rhett Bomar.
"He's got another year after this one to contribute and play," Stoops said. "He's an excellent athlete who works hard. We just want to give him more opportunities to get on the field. I think he will give us more production."
Thompson is a fourth-year junior who opened the season against TCU as the starting quarterback. But Bomar has now nailed down the job for the Sooners, who dropped out of The Associated Press Top 25 this week after a 41-24 loss at UCLA.
"Rhett Bomar made a lot of plays, which will continue to give him confidence," Stoops said during the Big 12's weekly conference call with coaches. "He was much better in executing our passing game."
Stoops also said the Sooners (1-2) have been scuttled mostly by mistakes that can be corrected. and will.
Like much of the Big 12, the Sooners are off this week. Also off this week are Baylor, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and No. 2 Texas. Playing a rare Friday night game is No. 22 Iowa State, which was off
last week, allowing them to recover emotionally from the 23-3 victory against then-No.8 Iowa, a game that drew 54,290, the largest crowd since Iowa State's Jack Stadium was reconfigured in 1996.
"It is unusual to be playing on a Friday night," coach Dan McCarney said. "But we've known for quite some time."
McCarney is no longer the only major hire Iowa State has made off the staff of Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez. Jamie Pollard has been hired as the Cyclones' new athletic director.
"He's an outstanding person and leader." McCarney said.
In his 10 years at Iowa State, McCarney has seen a lot of people come and go.
“This is three (athletic directors), two presidents, three men's basketball coaches,” he said with a laugh. “I'm a survivor. I'm glad to be here.”
McCarney also said he has received a huge response from an e-mail he sent to all Iowa State students thanking them for their support in the win over Iowa.
"The e-mails are out of sight," he said. "I only had one negative response, and it happens to be a Hawkeye fan who goes to Iowa State."
Punishment to follow
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder indicated running back Thomas Clayton would face disciplinary action for being arrested on a charge of aggravated battery. Clayton, whose rushing average
of 164.5 yards per game leads Division I-A, was arrested in an incident involving an employee parking service employee.
He declined to say whether Clayton would play this week against North Texas.
"We have to let things settle down a little bit," Snyder said. "It's not what it appears to be. And I'm not in position to tell you, to elaborate on that. But I don't think it's quite the issue that it was made out to be initially."
Scoring gluttony
Mike Leach, two days after his No. 19 Texas Tech team ran up 80 points on Division I-AA Sam Houston State, was asked if he or his team ever entertained the notion of scoring 100.
"Next question," he said.
When asked if he would just as soon not have his players think about scoring 100, he did respond.
"I don't think about it. I never think about it. I look at did we improve."
Extra points
Reggie McNeal, who set a school record with 449 total yards, was named the Big 12 and the national offensive player of the week. McNeal threw for 349 yards and ran for 100 in only three quarters of Texas A&M's 66-8 win over SMU. Kansas linebacker Brandon Perkins, who set a school record with five sacks in the victory over Louisiana Tech, was named Big 12 defensive player of the week.

Charge may change for K-State back
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder would not say Monday whether he would bench Thomas Clayton after the junior running back's arrest.
"There will be some consequences for Thomas," Snyder said during the Big 12 coaches' weekly conference' call. "We have to let things settle down a little bit. It's not what it appears to be. And I'm not in position to tell you, to elaborate on that."
Clayton was arrested Friday after a university parking services employee said the running back nearly ran over him while trying to avoid having his vehicle immobilized for several unpaid parking tickets.
Clayton was arrested and posted bond on a probable cause statement of aggravated battery but is unlikely to face that charge, Riley County Atto-
ney Barry Wilkerson said.
While Wilkerson said he had not reviewed the official police report, he said he would not prosecute someone for aggravated battery if no weapons were used or if a suspect did not use his hands or feet to cause severe injuries.
"There has to be some sort of physical contact for it to be aggravated battery," Wilkerson said.
Clayton, who leads the nation with an average of 164.5 yards rushing, was later released on $1,000 bond. No court date has vet been set.
Kansas State (2-0) was off Saturday and is host to North Texas this weekend.
Riley County Police Sgt. Tim Schuck told The Kansas City Star. that the parking services employee had phoned for a wheel lock when Clayton drove away. He was arrested shortly afterward.
All Cardinals tickets gone in two hours
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MLB
ST. LOUIS — It took only about two hours yesterday for the NL Central champion St. Louis Cardinals to sell out all playoff games leading up to the World Series.
World Series tickets will be sold later.
Tickets for the Division Series and National League Championship Series went on sale at 9 a.m. yesterday and were sold out by about 11 a.m.
For the first time, playoff tickets were not sold at the Busch Stadium ticket office or at other ticket outlets; they were sold online through the Cardinals' Web site and by phone. The team said problems with long lines and new stadium construction
prompted the change. The new Busch Stadium is being built next to the existing ballpark, which will be demolished at the end of the season.
It wasn't immediately clear how many tickets were sold. The team had expected to have about 14,000 tickets available for each Division Series game and about 13,000 for each NLCS game.
The Cardinals became the first team to clinch a playoff berth after beating the Chicago Cubs 6-1 Thursday. At 95-56, they have baseball's best record and will have home-field advantage in all NL playoff games. The American League team will have home-field advantage in the World Series because the AL won the All-Star game.

New Houston Texans offensive coordinator Joe Pendry looks on at the press conference announcing his promotion. Pendry will replace Chris Palmer, who was fired on Monday following the team's second straight loss. Pendry had been the team's offensive line coach.
NFL
Texans coordinator loses job
BY KRISTIE RIEKEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — The Houston Texans fired offensive coordinator Chris Palmer on Monday following the team's second straight embarrassing loss.
Joe Pendry, the team's offensive line coach, was introduced as his replacement by coach Dom Capers Monday afternoon.
"We have not performed up to our expectations," Capers said. "We needed to make an adjustment to help us move forward in the direction we want to go."
We Stand Behind Our Work, and WE CARE!"
Capers and quarterback David Carr agreed that offense needs to be more consistent and hope this change will facilitate that.
Palmer, who had been the offensive coordinator since the team's inception, also called the plays.
to Buffalo 22-7 in the opener. Houston has averaged the fewest yards (170.5), fewest passing yards (66.5) and points (7) in the NFL through its first two games.
In Sunday's game, Carr appeared to be confused. He was sacked eight times — the most since the expansion year in 2002 and one shy of the most in the team's 50-game history.
The Texans lost to Pittsburgh 27-7 on Sunday after losing
Against Buffalo, Houston allowed five sacks and had five turnovers.

Capers said he's been "evaluating the big picture" for a while and that this decision is a culmination of Houston's poor performance in a season-ending loss to Cleveland, in the preseason and the first two games.

He said over that period it became "apparent to me that things weren't working."
Houston has a bye this week before traveling to Cincinnati on Oct. 2. Capers said the extra week of preparation made it the "logical time" to make a change.
Palmer joined the Texans after being fired after one season as
Pendry was the offensive coordinator under Capers for three seasons at Carolina. He spent 1998-2000 in the same position with Buffalo.
"It's not fun to go into this situation, but it's my job," he said. "I've been asked to do it and I'll give everything in my power to give us the opportunity to win."
Carr said he didn't like the feeling he's had the last two weeks and that he's happy with any change that will improve the team.
In his first season with Buffalo, the Bills improved from 25th in the NFL in offense to sixth and reached the playoffs.
"We have to put him in a position to do his job and not have to go win the game for us every time," Pendry said. "We have ten other guys out there. They've got to go play."

He said he'll work to improve the offense to help relieve the pressure on Carr.
Carr said he's excited about working with Pendry and that he thinks he will help the offense play to its strengths.

Moss admits cocaine use, apologizes to company
LONDON - Supermodel Kate Moss acknowledged to the Hennes & Mauritz clothing chain that tabloid allegations she recently used cocaine are true, an H&M spokeswoman said.
Moss, who is to model for one of H&M's upcoming clothing lines, apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be "healthy, wholesome and sound," spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said. H&M has decided to keep Moss on.
Her lawyer, Gerard Tyrrell, did not return a message left at his office Saturday.
The Daily Mirror tabloid printed images from a video which it said showed the model doing five lines of cocaine in 40 minutes at a late-night music recording session.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2005: You find solutions through mental processing, gathering information and digging up experts. Others often come to you for help. Despite your popularity, on some level you could feel a bit down. You are closing off a 28-year cycle in two years. Be honest with yourself about what doesn't work in your life. You might want to make some adjustments. Travel, education and foreigners are highlighted. Your mind expands past its present patterns of thinking. Money could be a strong suit, if you are careful. You could get a pay raise. If you are single, romance might appear in the form of someone quite different. Be open. If you are attached, explore new ways of thinking. Doors will open for both of you. A trip might play a key role in your year.

Student fees fund Day on the Hill fun
SUA brings more events, speakers
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Extra money is bringing bigger-name speakers and the return of the Day on the Hill outdoor concert this year.
Students approved a Student Senate referendum that added a $5 student fee last spring. With the fee, SUA's budget more than tripled, from about $100,000 to $340,000.
Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union programs, said SUA could spend six figures on this year's Day on the Hill concert, whereas SUA's total budget was $127,000 last year.
Day on the Hill was a daylong, annual, free outdoor music festival on Campanile hill, last held in May 2002. Bands such as Pearl Jam, They Might Be Giants and Fastball have performed at the event.
SUA is planning this year's concert's infrastructure and preparing to invite to performers, Hoffman said. SUA is considering locations on West Campus, near the Lied Center and other locations for the concert. SUA hopes to have a location and date by Oct. 1, Hoffman said.
Kaitlin Connealy, Leawood senior and SUA president, said that besides the Day on the Hill concert, the extra money allowed the University to bring in comedians Jeffrey Rush and Carlos Mencia, and speakers Chuck D of Public Enemy and basketball coach Ken Carter, who spoke last night.

This semester, $143,000 is budgeted for speakers and comedians. Last spring semester the budget was $20,000 less than Carlos Mencia's visit. Also, the new money lets students see speakers at a reduced cost, Connealy said. For example, students with a KUID got free admission to Coach Carter speak last night.
"I can definitely say that if there had not been this added fee, students would be paying considerable amounts to see Coach Carter," Kratz said. She estimated students could have paid as much as $20 before the fee.
Carter was the first speaker that the SUA social issues committee proposed last spring after the committee learned of the SUA student fee's approval, said Jenny Kratz, Lawrence senior and SUA social issues coordinator.

CRIME

Elizabeth Newman walked outside her apartment Saturday morning and realized that her car had been damaged and her compact discs were stolen. She walked back inside and screamed.
Newman, Overland Park sophomore, was parked in a dimly lit lot behind her boyfriend's house on the 1300 block of Kentucky Street because too many cars park on that street on weekends, she said.
In all, there were $1,375 worth of damages.
"I won't leave anything that could be stolen in my car again," she said.
Newman and at least eight others were victims of a crime spree totaling at least $6,505 in damage and stolen valuables last weekend between the 1100 and 1400 blocks of Kentucky Street. The crimes have puzzled
KU students, the Oread Neighborhood Association, landlords and the Lawrence Police Department.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said that police would investigate to see if the crimes were connected because auto burglaries often occur in the same area at the same time.
"It's less likely to have one in an area than to have more than one in an area." Ward said.
Kevin Baker, Lenexa senior locked his car door, but still couldn't keep his car safe. Baker reported $680 in CDs stolen after someone broke the lock on his car door, he said.
Auto burglaries often occur because students leave doors unlocked and valuables visible he said.
"Most of the people are students and they were probably drunk," Baker said. "Nobody saw it so I don't know what to do."

Chancellor worries board's stance will affect University
Edited by Becca Evanhoe
The State Board of Education's stance on evolution could hurt recruitment of students and faculty to the University of Kansas, Chancellor Robert Hemenway said.
In a Sept. 8 speech to faculty and staff, Hemenway said Kansas' state school board has challenged the scientific principles that are essential to the University's teaching. He said the state of Kansas was the butt of jokes for the rest of the country.
Steve Abrams, a member of the Kansas State Board of Education, said he didn't think the chancellor's opinion had any relevance to the debate at hand. He said the board wanted evolution taught fully, with different scientific views made known to the students. He said some scientists had different views regarding evolution.
"Six politicians on the board claim that evolution is just a theory. Evolution is a theory in the same way that gravity is a theory. It has been proven by years of scientific observation and experimentation," Hemenway said.
"I cannot possibly see how it could hurt KU," Abrams said.
Craig Martin, chairman of the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, was nervous about how these issues might affect faculty recruitment, even though he said he hadn't seen direct evidence that the University had lost someone because of it.
Martin said his department was recruiting four new faculty members, but that he did not know whether the best applicants would apply. He said they may not want to come to a state with an inappropriate understanding of what constitutes science education.

Robert Hemenway Chancellor
Kenneth Willard, a member of the board, said the actions of the board should not cause problems. He said students should be able to critically analyze controversial areas of evolution and develop their own conclusions.
Willard said that he understood Hemenway's concern and that it his concern as well.
"But what the board is doing is not being truthfully reported." Willard said. "People think we are trying to put religion in schools, and that simply isn't true."
Bill Wagon, a member of the board, said he suspected it was a problem, and mentioned how Kansas has developed a negative reputation nationally, in reference to the proposed science curriculum changes. He said he thought evolution was a theory that has been well-proven.
Ryan Shepard, South Paris Maine, graduate student, said the impression of Kansas in Maine was weak because of Kansas' stance on evolution.
"My friends always wondered why I would come to a school in — and these are their words
— 'a backwards state,'" Shepard said. "But the communications program was too overwhelmingly good to pass up."

Sororities still openly recruiting
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Formal recruitment is finished for sororities, but several are still welcoming members with open arms.
Open recruitment allows sororities to continue to grow and reach the average chapter membership of 140, which was estimated by Colleen Grosch, vice president of recruitment.
Those interested in open recruitment provide a name and contact information, which is passed to the house they are interested in.
Differences between formal recruitment and open recruitment include women not being kept in large groups and not being confined to a week full of activities.
Levita Bui, Garden City junior and member of Alpha Delta Phi, went through open recruitment last year and said it helped her because it was less stressful and time consuming, than formal recruitment.
"It was more easy going," she said.
Grosch, St. Charles, Mo. senior, said four or five sororites will take part this year. She said involvement in the process may be perceived as a problem, but some sororites enjoy their small size.
Alpha Delta Pi, 1600 Oxford Road, is one of the sororities taking part in open recruitment.
Jodi Lifit, Topeka senior and president of Alpha Delta Pi, said the negative image may exist, but having the opportunity to add more members to the house benefits the chapter's future.
"If you're not at total, you risk losing more women and support from your national organization," she said.
Sigma Delta Tau, 1625 Edgehill Road, has been involved in the process for several years, as it is one of the smaller chapters.
Marisa Vrona, Minneapolis, Minn., junior and president of Sigma Delta Tau, said members enjoy the size of their chapter and are not as concerned with numbers.
Open recruitment may not receive the same numbers as the 750 involved in formal recruitment, but the process provides a more comfortable setting for prospective members. Grosch said.
She said the open recruitment process has provided an outlet for past members to join.
"If there wouldn't have been an open recruitment process, they might not have joined the KU greek community," Grosch said.

Actor in clear with good behavior
- Edited by Kellis Robinett
NEWYORK — Groping charges against Christian Slater will be dropped if the actor stays out of trouble for the next six months, under a plea agreement reached with prosecutors.
"The case is dismissed, and we are very pleased with the outcome," his lawyer, Eric Franz, said Monday outside Manhattan Criminal Court.
In July, the actor had rejected a plea bargain that would have required him to perform three days of community service in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree harassment.
Slater, 36, was arrested May 31 and charged with forcible touching for allegedly groping a woman during a late night run-in on the Upper East Side. He faced up to a year in jail if convicted.
Slater, whose credits include "Heathers;" "Broken Arrow" and "True Romance," was appearing in "The Glass Menagerie" on Broadway at the time of his arrest.
It was not his first run-in with the law. The actor was sentenced to 90 days in jail for an August 1997 incident where he reportedly bit one man in the stomach and threw a police officer against a wall during a rowdy Los Angeles party.
Model out of work after drug use
STOCKHOLM, Sweden Swedish clothing chain Hennes & Mauritz will drop a planned advertising campaign with model Kate Moss after she admitted to recently using cocaine.
H&M, Europe's largest fashion retailer, had planned to use Moss to help launch a new collection designed by Stella McCartney that will hit stores in 22 countries in November.
The decision to drop the campaign came after Moss acknowledged last week that British tabloid reports of her recent cocaine use were true.
H&M initially said it would proceed with the campaign, but company spokeswoman Liv Asarnoj said Tuesday that "after evaluating the situation, we have decided that a campaign with Kate Moss is not consistent with H&M's clear disassociation from drugs."
The company will call in another model for the campaign, Asarno said.
H&M said Saturday that Moss, 31, had apologized for her drug use and promised in writing to abide by a company policy that models be "healthy, wholesome and sound."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas State Board of Education continues to debate on the issue of teaching evolution and creationism in public schools, but University of Kansas professors and students don't see what the fuss is about.
Professors from KU's departments of biology and religion and students agree that the two theories are not totally separate and there is room for the academic study of both. But there are those who disagree.
"There does not necessarily have to be a conflict," he said. "You can believe in creation and all that; you can believe in intelligent design. Both of those beliefs don't necessarily conflict with believing in evolution."
Craig Martin, chairman of ecology and evolutionary biology, said that someone's religious affiliation or background should have no impact on his or her interest in biology or ability to learn biology.
Martin said the department of biology generally did not address religious issues. He would like to cover the issue of evolution more, but there is not time in the course schedule. He said he felt obligated to teach evolution because it was part of biology.
Martin said he tried to define evolution in scientific terms for students. He said that he told his classes that evolution was a genetic change in a population over time. He said this concept did not conflict with the American form of Christianity, which was the primary religion that he saw evolution come in conflict with.
"We're studying how species change over time. That's undeniable," Martin said. "You can believe that everything was created by God and set in motion at one time and then everything is working in a natural way that
Kale Langley, Kingman junior, said religion had no place in science classes, and it made him uncomfortable when professors criticized religion.
scientists study."
"I would rather they just teach evolution and not downplay anything else," Langley said. "They are two separate things."
Erika Hane, Topeka senior, said that many times people did not consider the possibility that evolution and creationism did not have to be mutually exclusive.
Brenda Brown of the international organization Campus Crusade for Christ has worked for the University's chapter since 2000. She said she would like to see creationism addressed more.
But Timothy Miller, professor in the department of religious studies, said the concepts of religion and science were not conflicting and should be addressed in separate spheres.
"They have approaches to dealing with the natural world and religion is more of a system of providing meaning and value." Miller said.
"They present that evolution is the only way and that you're foolish if you think that there's another way." Brown said.
Megan True/KANSAN
Miller said there were direct conflicts with the Bible and modern science but that the specific content of the Bible was intended to guide the reader with systems of values and morals.
"The Bible can be taken symbolically rather than literally," she said.
Miller said that for a great majority of religious believers in the world there was no conflict between religion and science. He is one of them.
"I personally have no reason to quarrel with science," Miller said. "I don't think religion has much of a place in science."

Round two for Gulf coast
Mark M. Hancock/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WAL-MART 3 CAR
Motorists wait for fuel at a gas station in Port Arthur, Texas, yesterday. Residents of the southeast Texas region are stocking up on supplies in anticipation of Hurricane Rita, which is expected to hit somewhere in the area Saturday.
BY NEDRA PICKLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — President Bush kept a worried watch Tuesday on "what we pray is not a devastating storm" — Hurricane Rita — as he flew over miles of flattened homes and mud-caked neighborhoods hit by Hurricane Katrina.
Bush received a briefing about Rita aboard the USS Iwo Jima, which is docked near downtown New Orleans, as the hurricane lashed the Florida Keys and caused new anxiety among Katrina victims in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
The officials said Rita was projected to strengthen to a Category 3 hurricane that would hit the upper to middle part of the Texas coast by the weekend and could create tropical storm conditions — or, much less likely, hurricane-force winds — in southeastern Louisiana.
In a ship mess hall, the president held a videoconference with three federal officials: Homeland Security Secretary Michael Charroft, the National Hurricane Center's deputy director, Ed Rappaport, and a Federal Emergency Management Agency official.
"we're watching very closely, of course, its track," Bush said later at a Folgers coffee plant in Louisiana that recently restarted operations. "All up and down the coastline people are now preparing for what is anticipated to be yet another significant storm."
Eager to show hands-on leadership after being criticized for a slow response to Katrina, Bush signed an emergency declaration for Florida, spoke with Texas Gov. Rick Perry about planning for the storm's landfall, and said military outfits are being removed from New Orleans to be out of
Rita's path and ready to help with recovery.
The White House said Bush had named Frances Fragos Townsend, his in-house homeland security adviser, to lead an administration investigation of "what went wrong and what went right" in the sluggish federal response to Katrina. The appointment of Townsend, a former federal prosecutor with a reputation as a tough adversary, is unlikely to satisfy Democrats on Capitol Hill who are demanding a fully independent investigation.
Bush said he was pleased that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin suspended his plan to allow as many as a third of the city's residents to return. He said positive steps are being taken.
"What you're beginning to see is a revitalized economy," Bush said, standing before 110 trailers set up for Folgers employees who lost their homes. "Progress is being made."
Bush began the day in Gulf
"There is no doubt in my mind that out of the rubble and out of the huge heaps of timber that used to be homes, a better Mississippi will emerge." Bush told the local government and business leaders gathered in an air-conditioned tent set up in a hurricane-damaged outlet shopping center.
port, Miss., where he dropped in on the first meeting of Gov. Haley Barbour's Commission on Recovery, Rebuilding and Renewal, applauding their "can-do spirit" and pledging to help clean up the devastated Gulf Coast. He flew along the coast over mile after mile of destroyed homes.
Jim Barksdale, chairman of Barbour's commission, told the president and other attendees that they only have themselves to blame if reconstruction isn't successful. "You folks are like the pig at a ham and egg breakfast," he said. "You are committed."
The president told them he had heard their complaints about bureaucratic hurdles for trash removal, saying he was personally making calls to cut through red tape and people in the area will soon see results.
"There was a level of frustration, as there should have been," he said. "We'll get the debris removed."
Barbour told Bush that local officials need the federal government's help to rebuild the area's infrastructure and make Mississippi's hurricane zone "the most attractive place in America for private investment."
"I'm confident that we'll get the resources because y'all have been so generous and good to us. But we want you to know that we're going to try to help you know what to give us," Barbour said to laughter.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan acknowledged that some of Mississippi's more rural areas still are waiting for federal help that has been focused in New Orleans and other larger population centers.

Oil prices fluctuate amid Rita threat
NEW YORK — Oil prices dropped more than $1 a barrel yesterday but held on to most of Monday's sharp advance, as Hurricane Rita headed toward the Gulf Coast.
Projections made early yesterday that Rita would miss the Houston area refineries triggered a drop of more than $2 a barrel in oil prices. But prices recovered much of those losses as Rita strengthened to a category 2 hurricane, with winds of 100 mph.
100 hp. "The complex is still demanding at least some storm premium," said Jim Ritterbusch, president of consultancy Ritterbusch & Associates. "There is still some concern out there. Otherwise, we'd have given up more than half of yesterday's gain."
At the New York Mercantile Exchange, the October crude-oil contract ended $1.16 lower at $66.23 after dropping as low as $64.80 a barrel.
Petroleum products, which advanced more than 10 percent Monday, posted bigger losses but ended well off their intraday lows by the close.
October gasoline, up nearly 25 cents at one point Monday, drooped as low as $1.9150 a gallon before closing at $1.9766 a gallon, down 6.71 cents on the day.
October heating oil ended at $2.0113, down 2.71 cents, after hitting an intraday low of $1.9250.
Forecasts Monday that Rita would target Houston sent oil prices soaring a record $4.39, above $67 a barrel. Traders worried about the loss of refining capacity at a time when refiners are struggling to recover from the devastation brought about by Hurricane Katrina three weeks ago.
"Yesterday was pure panic," Fitzpatrick said.
But while those worries have eased a bit, forecasters and analysts warned that Rita's track and strength could change as it moves westward.
"It's going to be a very emotional market in the next several days," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago. "It's still a little too early, but you have to take the threat seriously. We don't know if it's gong to do any damage."
The pullback in prices came as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, meeting in Vienna, decided to leave its official output target unchanged but to make some 2 million barrels a day in unused production capacity available as of Oct.1.
Officials, expressing concern about the latest price spike, said the move to make all of the cartel's extra capacity available was meant to reassure the consumers on supplies.
October natural gas fell 1.71 cents to close at $12.492 per million British thermal units.
December gold settled at $470 an ounce, down 40 cents, on the Nv mex.
December silver settled at $7.375 an ounce, down 2.3 cents.
The September copper contract settled up 1 cent at $1.7495 per pound. The most-active December copper contract rose 1.15 cents to $1.6660.
Arabica coffee futures bounced off 10-month lows on the New York Board of Trade.
Buyers were influenced by talk that exchange-licensed beans in New Orleans, being examined by Nybot inspectors this week, will be decertified because of damage from Hurricane Katrina.
The September contract settled 7.30 cents higher at 91.75 cents a pound, and December closed up 6.05 cents at 92.50 cents.

Ally Porter, Highlands Ranch, Colo., sophomore, said she and other tenants were going to write a letter to their landlord requesting cameras or additional lighting in the apartment complex's parking lot.
Along with three other vehicles, her Toyota 4-runner was spray-painted early Sundav morning.
James Dunn, a landlord and president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, said landlords would be responsible for lighting in parking lots.
If students needed additional lighting or other improvements in the Oread neighborhood, they should become involved in association meetings, he said.
Dunn also said he thought that the Oread neighborhood, which is a low-to-moderate-income neighborhood, is
entitled to a nearly $1 million grant. The association will apply for the grant by Dec. 1, and could receive it by October 2006. The grant would be used to fund neighborhood improvement projects and services that benefit the poor. he said.
Landlords are also looking for ways to combat the crime.
Students should provide suggestions at meetings before Dec. 1, he said.
Debi Hartley, who rents her house to Newman's boyfriend, said she would add another motion detector light after the burglaries because the lot was insufficiently lit.
In the meantime, Newman will have to risk her car being burglarized or damaged in the alley when she visits her boyfriend.
"I saw a guy the next morning whose car got spray-painted. He said 'it's time to move.'" Newman said.
BOARD OF REGENTS
Meningitis shots required
BY JOHN HANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - More college students will be required to obtain meningitis vaccinations or sign a waiver saying they refuse under a new policy adopted by the state Board of Regents.
— Edited by Kellis Robinett
The policy will apply to all incoming students who will live in dormitories or other housing operated by the six state universities, starting in the fall of 2006. About 14,000 students live in such housing, or about 16 percent of those enrolled.
Ten months ago, the University of Kansas became the first college in the state to adopt such a policy Three others followed — Wichita State University, Emporia State University and Fort Hays State University.
Kansas State University and
The board's new policy, approved during a meeting last week, is a response to a recommendation in May from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that all incoming college freshmen be vaccinated.
Pittsburg State University encourage students to get the vaccine but do not require it.
"Once the CDC issued a new meningitis recommendation, the board felt strongly that it should take a more aggressive approach to combating this potentially fatal diseases," said board President Reggie Robinson.
The National Meningitis Association lists 24 states, including Colorado, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma, with laws outlining similar policies.
In August, an autopsy listed viral meningitis as the probable cause of death at University of Missouri
linebacker Aaron O'Neal, who colapsed during a prescaon worke
Last year, a Wichita State University student died at home from the disease. A University of Kansas student was in a coma for two weeks and had both feet and most of both hands amputated.
Bacterial meningitis, which inflames membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, affects about 3,000 Americans each year, according to the CDC. Between 100 and 125 cases are reported on college campuses each year.
The disease is transmitted by contact with saliva, such as through sneezing, coughing, kissing or sharing drinks.
Ten percent to 15 percent of people contracting the disease die. Others suffer brain damage or hearing loss, and the disease can lead to amputations.
SUPREME COURT
Democratic leader rejects Roberts as chief justice
BY DAVID ESPO HE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said yesterday he would oppose confirmation of Chief Justice-nominee John Roberts, questioning Roberts' commitment to civil rights and accusing the Bush administration of stonewalling requests for documents that might shed light on his views.
At the same time, Reid readily predicted Roberts will win Senate confirmation, coupling the forecast with a warning of sorts to President Bush as he considers candidates for a second vacancy on the Supreme Court.
"No one should think that just automatically they're all going to be easy like this one." he said.
Reid is one of four senators invited to a White House meeting with Bush on Wednesday to discuss the vacancy created by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's decision to retire.
The Nevada senator made his comments as Democrats began taking sides in advance of next week's confirmation vote. President Bush named Roberts, a 50-year-old appeals court judge and former lawyer in two Republican administrations, to succeed the late William H. Rehnquist.
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., announced he will vote for confirmation, and Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., edged toward an endorsement, as well. Roberts also commands overwhelming if not unanimous support among the Senate's 55 Republicans.
"After reviewing Judge John Roberts' credentials and meeting with him privately, I have found that he meets my criteria for judges. And that is: only the brightest, most objective minds shall serve on the bench," said Baucus, who added the decision was not an easy one.
"I've not seen anything that would cause me to vote against," Roberts, said. Nelson, who is seeking re-election next year in Republican Nebraska and often crosses party lines to support Bush's legislative proposals.
Reid had successfully urged fellow Democrats to refrain from taking positions on the appointment until after the completion of last week's confirmation hearings and the regular Tuesday closed-door meeting of the rank-and-file.
"This is a very close question for me. But I must resolve my doubts in favor of the American people whose rights would be in jeopardy if John Roberts turned out to be the wrong person for the job," he said.
Referring to publicly released memos that date to Robert's tenure as a Reagan administration lawyer, Reid said they showed the young attorney "played a significant role in shaping and advancing the Republican agenda to roll back civil rights protections."
"No one suggests that John Roberts was motivated by bigotry or animosity toward minorities or women," Reid added. "But these memos lead one to question whether he truly appreciated the history of the civil rights struggle. He wrote about discrimination as an abstract concept, not as a flesh and blood reality for countless of his fellow citizens."
Reid also said Roberts followed a "disengenuous strategy" at the confirmation hearings of suggesting that the views in the memos were not his own.

Stitches, charges follow dance-off
WICHITA - One person required stitches and a mother and son were arrested after two drill teams brawled during an impromptu dance off, Wichita police said.
"This is a whole new arena" of crime, said Wichita police Lt. Jeff Easter.
The Dynamic Steppers, a Wichita drill team, were practicing routines Saturday night when members of another drill team, the White Tigers, showed up and challenged the others to a dance-off, police said.
During the altercation, a woman struck a 17-year-old Dynamic Steppers drummer in the face with a drumstick, Easter said. The teen, who had left the WhiteTigers to join the Dynamic Steppers, punched the 28-year-old woman in the face. He then tried to run over spectators with his vehicle, witnesses told police.
The boy's mother, a Dynamic Steppers coach, grabbed a box cutter and sliced the other woman's right arm, Easter said. The wound required eight stitches.
An estimated 50 people became involved in the altercation. The mother was booked on suspicion of aggravated battery for cutting the other woman, Easter said, and the son faced charges of simple assault and aggravated assault. More charges are possible, police said.

"If a teacher wants to know your performance level, they just call you up to the blackboard in front of the class,and you pretty much have to say everything you know."
Focusing on one specific field of study was something Lin was not expecting.
"I'd never thought about it before, because in Hong Kong the definition of a good student is to be good at everything," Lin said. "It's hard to find out what you want to do, or what you're interested in."
Burduli and Castillo both have found the professors at the University to be more friendly and helpful than instructors in their native countries. Castilo noted the helpfulness of office hours and study groups, which were absent in Bolivia.
She is still debating between majoring in business, pharmacy, architecture or perhaps something else.
Social Life
"In Hong Kong, if your grades are good, the teachers like you, but if your grades are bad, they won't help you at all," Lin said.
During her first semester at the University, Lin concentrated mostly on her grades, as was the norm at her school in Hong Kong.
Burduli said the attitude of professors was different in Georgia.
This past summer, Lin said, she decided to adopt a new philosophy toward life in college. She was determined to make friends and become involved, rather than revolving her life around classes.
Along with a less-competitive school system, Lin has also found professors who are more friendly than her teachers at the Catholic school she attended in Hong Kong.
Lin thinks Lawrence is a quiet town, especially at night. She misses the way she could go almost anywhere with her friends at odd hours of the morning in Hong Kong. She said she could go shopping at 2 or 3 a.m. if she wanted to.
"Now I don't have to care that much about classes," she said. "Grades are not the only things that matter."
Lin enjoys being able to join extracurricular organizations and activities, something she said was rare at her old school. She is a member of several organizations at the University, including the Hong Kong and Macau Student Association, the International Student Association and a finance club.
"American food gets old in about two weeks," Burdul said.
Castillo and Burduli also were impressed with the opportunities available for students to get involved at the University, as well as the social atmosphere.
Because of time constraints, Lin cannot visit her home for at least another two years and may be staying in the United States for six or more years. She said she misses her family and friends in Hong Kong, as well as genuine Chinese food, which she said is much better than the Chinese served at restaurants here.
Lin said her family promised to come here at least once a year, and she hoped they will follow up on their promise.
Castillo said he found people in Bolivia to be more friendly and somewhat more tolerant than people here, and Burduli said that he misses family, friends and food in Georgia.
Lin said she planned to return to Hong Kong to work after she finishes her education. She credits her childhood there for teaching her how to manage her time and work independently.
"Despite its faults, I still love Hong Kong," Lin said. "I got to learn how to work under pressure and how to do things efficiently."

Many might need to go back to school or specialize in their field. You want to make a difference. Don't just plunge into a new idea or career before checking out the pros and cons. Also, evaluate the financial ramifications. If you stay where you are, you might be heading toward a pay raise. If you are single, learn to identify with others. Understand where others are coming from. This sensitivity draws others. If you are attached, your in-laws play a significant role; otherwise, travel might. TAURUS can be pushy. Learn to say no.

John Mellencamp, Miles Davis among new Hall of Fame nominees
NEWYORK - Heartland rocker John Mellencamp is among the nominees for a new class of inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joined by jazz legend Miles Davis, rap pioneers Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five and Blondie.
Mellencamp quickly ditched the cheesy nickname Johnny Cougar and banged out a series of rock hits in the 1980s, including "Pink Houses," "Jack & Diane" and "R.O.C.K. in the USA."
Grandmaster Flash, whose "The Message" and "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)" were among rap's early hits, will test whether the rock hall is willing to open its doors to one of today's top styles of music.
The late Davis was one of jazz's most iconoclastic musicians. Blondie, led by pinup model Debbie Harry, fused pop with the aggression of punk and mixed in rap and disco.
Cat Stevens, who had folk hits in the 1970s before converting to Islam and largely retiring from music, was also nominated, along with punk rock pioneers The Patti Smith Group, the Sex Pistols and the Stooges.
"Free Bird" singers Lynyrd Skynyrd, heavy metal band Black Sabbath, the '60s beat group Dave Clark Five, Boston-area blues-rockers J. Geils舞, dance masters Chic and Texans Joe Tex, and the Sir Douglas Quintet were also on the ballot.
Musicians, industry professionals and journalists vote, and results of the 21st annual election will likely be announced in December.
Artists are eligible to be inducted into the Rock Hall after at least 25 years have passed since their first record was released.
Billy Joel establishes endowment for Syracuse University musicians
Syracuse's Setner School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts was one of seven East Coast schools chosen by Joel to receive seed money, musical scholarships and endowments as part of his recently launched music education initiative, said Carole Brrozowski, the college's dean.
Syracuse will use the money to establish four Billy Joel Fellowships in Composition and hopes to enroll the first two students next fall, Brzozowski said.
The money will cover full tuition for the two year master's program, provide some support money for each student and, at the end of their studies, possibly help pay for either a high-level album with their music or a concert of their work in a prominent place, Brzozowski said.
"Because of Mr. Joel's strong commitment to the arts and arts education, we will be able to give student composers even more opportunities to grow as artists and make an impact on the world," she said.
Joel also made grants to the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, New York University, The Juilliard School, State University of New York at Purchase, New England Conservatory, and Tanglewood Music Center, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Academy for Advanced Musical Study. Each institution will use the money for different needs.
Joel, a longtime advocate for music education, has held master's classes on college campuses across the country and around the world for more than 20 years.

▼ KEEPING US ON OUR TOES
Picture this: more diversity
Impudent, belligerent, callow and undermining. Courageous, empowered, impassioned and defiant. These words describe how I responded to the cover and content of last week's Sex on the Hill, an annual special section of The University Daily Kansan.
I incited a classroom of students to rip up their copy of the Kansan last Wednesday. I presented the refuse to the newsroom; and I wrote a mass e-mail, eliciting assistance to do another Sex on the Hill, which would span the broad spectrum of diversity at the University of Kansas.
Consequently, I earned an audience with a broad spectrum of opinions. Confused? The e-mail contained my analysis of both the front cover of SotH and some of its content, which I found lacked the diversity that befits a college newspaper.
From talking to co-workers, classmates and friends, I have been told that one of my more extremist statements was likening the representation of the female on the cover to the image of the virgin whore, which is to say that she is supposed to appear innocent and vulnerable, while exhibiting an unconscionable sexuality.
Also, upon further inquiry, I discovered that the model was part-Korean and part-Caucasian. As a result, my initial reason for wanting to know why another white, heterosexual-looking couple was the main photo illustration had been short-sighted.
To me, representing a minority (I know people will take issue with that label, and I encourage you to do so) in that way, with the Caucasian male holding her, facilitates her position as the weaker individual. There are several other comments with which readers took issue.
The main opposition to the preceeding argument was that everyone else, both readers and staff, did not see what I saw. I have been reminded repeatedly that the staff never meant to intentionally offend anyone; and I recognize that several of the photographs and content were presented in a humorous light. That does not make it right.
JULIE OBORNY
opinion@kansan.com

I am a 21-year-old, middle class, non-religious, heterosexual,
white, female college student. It takes work for me to see racism because I am white. I can see misogyny and the patriarchy because I was not born a male. I have trouble seeing poverty because I have never known financial discomfort.
We are so often barraged with images and words perpetuating the status quo that we never think to question them, especially if one is placed higher on the societal scale.
Honestly, I wondered why only Christian sources were consulted in the virginity piece, because, in addition to Christianity, there are other religions that support celibacy. Also, there are non-religious people out there who have chosen to wait.
A teacher reminded me the other day that big revolutions begin with small ones.
I am not a journalist, an outstanding civic leader or even the foremost authority on these issues; but I recognized a symptom of the overarching disease of discrimination.
You might agree with my viewpoint. You might disagree. You might feel somewhere inbetween. I just hope you engage yourself. Think about what you see, hear and experience; and act on it.
Whether it's staging a march, buying a CD or book, writing a column (they will publish it even if you do plenty to alienate them beforehand), just talking to someone or choosing to remain passive; it's participating.
The outcome will be as multifaceted and multi layered as society; but that's how dissatisfaction becomes change.
- Oborny is a WaKeeney senior in English and anthropology.
I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there.

Lift van service needs work
As a KU student who uses a wheelchair, I would like to share my personal experiences regarding use of the wheelchair lift-van service on campus. When I used the lift-van, I faced a number of difficulties.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
feel that it is important for students with disabilities to be able to access the regular buses...
First, it would usually arrive late to pick me up which made me late to class.
Then it would be late picking me up after my class; therefore I would be late to my next class.
Third, the lift van is available only by appointment - you have to call and schedule a pickup. In contrast, KU on Wheels comes by regularly.
I was probably late to class more than I was on time, and had to get notes from other students to fulfill class requirements.
Second, I felt segregated from the other students. The regular bus would come and pick up all the other students and I would still be waiting for the lift van.
This is not meant as a critique of the lift-van service but rather of the inaccessible KU on Wheels buses.
If you can access the fixed route buses and need to visit the library you can just go outside and wait for the KU on Wheels bus.
I feel that it is important for students with disabilities to be able to access the regular buses in order to have an equal opportunity to succeed at KU.
If you need the lift-van you have to call and schedule an appointment. You hope the service
can fit your needs into their schedule, which may or may not work for them.
Why should we be excluded when we pay the same fees as other students? The fixed route buses should be accessible!
It is not fair that students with disabilities are unable to board with everyone else.

The summer before I arrived as a freshman, I could not stop telling my friends and family how completely and utterly excited I was to be heading to the University.
TALK TO US
I was ready to take a stand and make a difference. After two years at this institution, I am beginning to see the student body and our generation for what it really is: apathetic.
Soon I was going to be surrounded by informed and passionate students - students who also saw all the inequities in the world and were ready to do something about them.
I want to be a part of a campus that takes action to make a change in the world. It may seem pointless at first glance, but as Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

I read in the Kansan today that Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Chicago, among other cities, are taking a public stance urging President Bush to withdraw our troops from Iraq.
Now is the time that we make a stand and make our voice heard. Our apathetic ways need to stop, not only here on our campus, but across the nation. Let us lead by example.
In Chicago, it was a petition from the citizens that led to the city taking a stand against the war. The time for talking is over.

Many of the young men and women who are involved in various ROTC programs at the University have been publicly criticized for their support of the war in Iraq during the past couple years.
I will be the first one to admit that I am a tree-hugging, fern-fondling, bleeding-heart liberal who is strongly against the United States' occupation of Iraq. May I be damned if I ever condemn someone for standing up for what they believe in.

Instead of verbally attacking the soldiers on campus, maybe we should take the initiative to make our voice heard. When was the last time you wrote a letter to your U.S. Representative stating your stance on the war in Iraq?

IOA THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
When Ka Ying Lin and her friends planned to go to college in the United States, Lin's friends chose to head to the coasts. Lin, Hong Kong freshman, said she wanted a more adventurous locale — Lawrence.
"You can't always stay in a place forever," she said. "I like experiencing new things; I like to take risks."
Now Lin, along with other international students at the University, is adjusting to life and education in the United States while dealing with the challenges of being away from home.
Friends and teachers encouraged Lin to come to the U.S. for college, because of its reputation for quality education.
She went to a university fair in New York upon arriving from Hong Kong and was impressed with the presentation from a University admissions officer. After a bit of research, she decided to come to the University.
Lin came to the United States in December 2004 and began class at the University of Kansas in the Spring 2005 semester.
Lin said she had mixed feelings about being away from home — she is grateful to be away from Hong Kong, but at the same time she misses her home country.
She said that the school system in Hong Kong was internationally competitive. In high school, students were required tests about every two determined whether allowed to many subjects.

Kicker puts team in good place
Kansas will make a bowl game this year, but not because the offense or defense has changed. The difference will be the kicking game.
The 2004 Jayhawks' 4-7 record could have been 7-4 if they had this year's improved version of sophomore kicker Scott Webb.
This year, missed field goals won't come back to hurt the Jayhawks, because Webb will make most of them. So far in 2005, he is perfect on five field-goal attempts, including one from 47 vards.
The difference is leg strength. Webb has always been accurate, but last season he struggled from more than 40 yards, and former place-kicker Johnny Beck handled the kick-offs because he could kick the ball farther.
It's apparent that Webb's leg strength has improved. This year on 20 kick-offs, he is averaging 63.7 yards with 11 touchbacks. Beck had similar numbers in his first three games last season. On 19 kick-offs, Beck averaged 63.9 yards with 11 touchbacks.
Beck was great at kicking off, but his and Webb's inconsistencies with field goals contributed to losses against Northwestern, Texas Tech and Nebraska last season.
It's almost too easy to blame Beck for Kansas' 20-17 loss at Northwestern. He cost Kansas six points in a three-point game, missing two field goals — one from 48 yards at the end of the first half and the other from 43 yards with about a minute to go in the second.
When Texas Tech came to Lawrence, the Red Raiders scored 26 unanswered points to win by one. Fans usually blame Kansas' offense for that loss, but it set up Webb, who briefly replaced Beck as place-kicker, for six possible points in the fourth quarter. He missed both field goals, one from 45 yards and one from 43. Making either attempt would have sealed the victory for Kansas.
During Kansas' loss at Nebraska, Webb missed a 37-yard field goal less than three minutes into the game, the only missed attempt for Kansas. Nebraska ended up winning 14-8, but let's put the simple math aside. Those three points affected the outcome.
Kansas lost confidence in its kicking game with that miss. That was proven at the 9:14 mark in the fourth quarter. Kansas was on the Nebraska 24-yard line, and Kansas football coach Mark Mangino decided to go for a long fourth down instead of trying a 41-yard goal field that would have cut Nebraska's lead to three points.
Mangino probably made the right decision. Beck and Webb had both been inconsistent from more than 40 yards up to that point in the season, and Kansas needed a touchdown thanks to Webb's early miss. Hypothetically, in a three-point game with a solid place-kicker, Kansas could have tied it.
Even if the Nebraska game was thrown out of the victories blown by kickers, the other two can't be ignored. Kansas was three field goals away from six wins and back-to-back bowl games.
This year, look for Kansas to win two close games, or maybe even a few more, thanks to a solid kicking game.

Jayhawks set to spike Longhorns
BY MATT WILSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas volleyball will take its six-match winning streak on the road tonight to face Texas.
Ranked No. 24 in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 coaches' poll, the Jayhawks (10-1, 2-0 conference) will seek revenge after being swept last season by the Longhorns. Texas defeated Kansas in four games last season in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns, ranked No. 23, lead the all-time series between the two clubs, 17-4.
When: 6:30 p.m.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima attempts to tap the ball past Oklahoma defenders during the match last Saturday at Horeisi Family Athletics Center. Lima, named Big 12 Player of the Week for her last two performances against Texas A&M and Oklahoma, will help the No. 24 Jayhawks continue their winning streak against No. 23 Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas, at 6:30 tonight
MATCH INFO
Kansas is off to a successful start in conference play after beating Texas A&M and Oklahoma last week. The match starts at 6:30 p.m. at Texas' Gregory Gym. It is the Longhorns' second home match at home this year.
Where: Gregory Gym,
Austin, Texas
Texas (6-2, 1-1 conference) is coming off a loss at Iowa State on Saturday. The Cyclones' victory snapped a five-match winning streak for the Longhorns.
Texas will be led by fifth-year coach Jerritt Elliott. He has compiled an 81-42 record and led teams to the NCAA tournament in three of his four seasons in Austin.
On the court, Texas has two preseason all-conference players in sophomore setter Michelle Moriarty and junior middle blocker Brandy Magee. Moriarty will anchor the Longhorns' attack. She averages 13.29 assists per game this season. Magee leads the team with 3.77 kills per game. This duo will present tough match-ups for Kansas' veteran counterparts, senior setter Andi Rozum and senior middle blocker Josi Lima.

Kansas golfers hold on for Invitational victory Final round 70 for freshman helps team win overall "7

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Going into the final round of the Kansas Invitational, the Kansas men's golf team was locked in a battle with Tulsa and Western Kentucky for the trophy at Alvamar Golf and Country Club.
Carrying a two stroke lead into yesterday's final round, the team defended its lead and escaped with a final-round team total of 289.
Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall was proud of his team and its victory, but said there was room for improvement.
"We put up a decent score," Randall said. "We certainly didn't play our best golf, but it's not easy to play well at home, because there is that feeling of pressure you put on yourself. We overcame that."
Kansas freshman Zach Pederson led the Jayhawks with a fourth-place round of 70, which helped capture the title. Randall was impressed with Pederson's demeanor and overall performance.
junior Gary Woodland went into yesterday's final round with a two stroke lead, but that was not enough for the team captain to capture the individual trophy.
"Zach Pederson really helped the effort — shooting two under par for us," Randall said. "Whenever you have a freshman finish in the top 10, you know that he played solid golf. This is not an easy place to play for visiting teams coming in."
"It was a rough day for me," Woodland said. "It was very frustrating considering that I got off to a slow start. I felt I was a little anxious at the beginning, but I settled down

and hit the ball as well as I have hit it all year down the stretch. I just didn't hit any putts."
Woodland shot a final round 74, finishing third for the tournament.
Although Woodland was disappointed with his play, he was excited by the production of his teammates and the way they picked up a lot of the slack.
"It was a big win for us," Woodland said. "We kind of struggled last week a little bit, but we came out and beat some tough teams this week."

Chalmers has moves on court, not off it
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIVER
On an occasional weekend night, somewhere on a dance floor in Lawrence, all eyes are on Mario Chalmers. The music is loud, and Chalmers and his teammates are dancing. Just a few feet away, their teammate Julian Wright is laughing at Chalmers.
"He cannot dance," Wright said adamantly. "Mario has no moves. He can dance on the court but not off it."

That could be the truth, or just typical bante
Chalmers
between Wright and his roommate, Chalmers. But luckily for Chalmers, he will be judged more on his talents on the hardwood than on the dance floor.
So far, the judges who matter the most think highly of the young point guard.
"We feel Mario is probably as talented as any freshman point guard out there," said Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self.
Chalmers is different from most of Kansas' recent point guards. Unlike Aaron Miles, who owns the Big 12 Conference and Kansas all-time assist records, Chalmers is a scorer. He can take defenders off the dribble and spot up behind the three-point arc. As a senior at Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Alaska, he average 25 points and four assists a game, and led the state in three-point shooting. Even as a junior, Chalmers averaged 23 points a game.
"My mentality is just a little different now, because in high school I had to do a lot of scoring," Chalmers said. "But now I
With the abundance of young talent on the Jayhawks' roster, Chalmers knows he won't have to take as many shots as he did in high school.
can pass the ball to my teammates and get them involved more."
That change in mentality will benefit all the Jayhawks on the court, including Chalmers. Talk to players and coaches and they will tell you Kansas is going to be a running team this year — the style of play that fits Chalmers' game best. His quickness and passing ability will create scoring opportunities for his teammates, but he can remain a scoring threat.
"I don't have to shoot it a lot, I just have to keep the defense honest," Chalmers said.
"My personal opinion is that I don't want our point guard to be our biggest scorer. But if our point guard is our best scorer, we have to find a way to take advantage of that, and he is going to be involved in a very competitive position to see who plays the most minutes."
The competition for minutes at point guard will be intense. Senior Jeff Hawkins, sophomore Russell Robinson and Chalmers will all battle for that position, but Self thinks that will make each of them better.
"I could see him being one of our leading scorers," Self said. "And he needs to become a great assist man, but that doesn't need to take away from his creativity on his ability to create his own shot.
Self wants Chalmerst to play as the game comes to him, whether it's as a scorer or passer.
"Just because guys have been here before, they are not going to have the upper hand," Self said. "If a fifth-year guy like Jeff allows a freshman to come in and take his minutes when he is physically stronger, more mature and he is experienced, then so be it. But I would think that our experienced guys would say 'Hey, the advantages I have on the young guys are: I've been in the trenches before, I know what coach wants, I know what to expect, and these guys don't know it.'

'Mental errors' fret flag football
BY HEATHER RIFFEL
hriffel@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Delta Upsilon One's mental errors led to an 8-6 victory for Lime Green Machines during Monday's intramural men's flag football game.
Delta Upson One struggled to get started during its first series. A too-hike lice to Delta Upson One's quarterback Tommy Beeler, Overland Park sophomore, caused him to drop the ball in the Lime Green Machines' end zone, leading to a safety.
Lime Green Machines capitalized on this mistake and marched down the field where Jacob Nelson, Delphos senior, threw a touchdown pass to Tim Fajkus, Lenexa senior.
Delta Upsilon One was unsuccessful on its next drive when Beeler was intercepted by Lime Green Machines' Efe Ekpere, Port Charlotte, Fla. senior, to end the first half.
"There were too many mental
errors in the first half," Beeler said at halftime.
The second half started with another failed attempt to gain yardage by Delta Upsilon One when it turned the ball over on downs.
Lime Green Machines was unsuccessful on the following drive and punted the ball back to Delta Upson One. Delta Upsilon One's Nolan Seim, Salina junior, returned the punt for a long run that gave the team good field position.
Delta Upsilon One capitalized on this field position with a touchdown pass by Beeler to Scott Bradford, Marysville senior.
NFL
In the end, the mental errors were too much for Delta Upsilon One to overcome.
"We shot ourselves in the foot by not being mentally into it." Beeler said after the game. "We were looking ahead to the play-offs instead of this game."

DENVER — The Denver Broncos signed running back Quentin Griffin yesterday, bringing back last season's opening-day starter who was surprisingly released before this season began.
Broncos re-sign running back
To make room for Griffin, the Broncos waved kickoff specialist Paul Ernster, a seventh-round draft pick who was inactive for last Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Denver also released quarterback Kliff Kingsbury from its practice squad.
Griffin opened last season with a 156-yard game against Kansas City and started the first four games, but lost his starting job after hurting his ankle in the fifth week against Tampa Bay.
Two games later, he tore ligaments in his knee and was lost for the season.
He was fourth on the depth chart in Denver's training camp and when the Broncos released Maurice Clarett, many thought Griffin's spot
“T
I the thing about a running back who's a fourth-team guy is that he rarely sees any action. Q doesn't play special teams. Chances are, he wouldn't have played this year."
was secure.
But he wound up on the list of Denver's final cuts. A few days after his release, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said it was one of the most difficult cuts he had to make.
"It stood out because we know he can play," Shanahan said at the time. "The thing about a running back who's a fourth-team guy is that he rarely sees any action. Q doesn't play
special teams. Chances are, he wouldn't have played this year. So, we went in a different direction. I know he's a good player and I hope he gets picked up. He can play."
He may soon get a chance given Denver's status at the position.
Mike Anderson hurt his ribs in the first game and struggled last week, rushing for 49 yards on 15 carries against San Diego.
Tatum Bell hurt his ankle, and his status for this week is unknown.
Ron Dayne, meanwhile, replaced Anderson late and is the only fully healthy tailback the Broncos have.
Ernster's release wasn't a big surprise, given Todd Sauerbrun's effectiveness with kickoffs last week, combined with Shanahan's open criticism of the rookie.
Kingsbury's departure leaves Denver with an open spot on its practice squad and with only two quarterbacks — Jake Plummer and Bradlee Van Pelt in the organization.

Experienced Missouri defense struggles in early-season tests
BY BRANDON HOOPS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Cornerback Calvin Washington doesn't blame opposing teams for testing Missouri's secondary.
The most experienced part of the Tigers' defense has struggled through the first three games, allowing an average of 230 yards passing.
That's a stark contrast to last season, when the Tigers' pass defense was the best in Big 12 and third-best in the nation, allowing an 150 yards per game.
"I think we've really got a secondary that can really shut people down. It comes to the point where we've just got to execute things. We've got the talent to do it."
not making the plays where we should, and it tells us that we've got to have a sense of urgency to eliminate that."
It's not like the Tigers have been hurt by loss of players.
Calvin Washington Missouri cornerback
Missouri (2-1) ranks eighth in the Big 12. The only interception came from linebacker Dedrick Harrington. The Tigers have this weekend off before hosting No. 2 Texas Oct. 1.
"If I was them (opponents), I would definitely go deep and try us, too." Washington said. "You can't blame them. We're
Fifth-year seniors Washington, A.J. Kincade and Marcus King anchor a secondary believed to have made considerable progress since Gary Pinkel arrived as coach in 2001.
Back then, Pinkel learned the Tigers only had one cornerback on scholarship and that player
was having season-ending surgery.
"Talk about rude awakening when you get a job," Pinkel said.
So Pinkel asked a couple of players to switch from wide receiver to cornerback.
Washington was one of those players.
Washington broke the school record for receiving yards during his senior year at Lancaster High School in Dallas. The switch to cornerback "was something I was told to do," he said. "There are a lot of guys that make a transition like that and they really can't handle it. I had my ups and downs where I wanted to go back, but I stuck with it. I was like, 'If I want to be a corner, I've got to be the best I can be.'"
Washington's sophomore season was spent learning the nuances of the game.
Last year in a backup role he continued to learn and develop, making 13 tackles.
Washington still believes the best is yet to come.
"I think we've really got a secondary that can really shut people down," Washington said. "It comes to the point where we've just got to execute things. We've got the talent to do it."
Safety David Overstreet agreed.
"We've got to make progress," Overstreet said. "We haven't played to the best of our ability."

Colorado searches for positive press

BOULDER, Colo. — In the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past several months, the Colorado Buffalooes have a chance to shift the focus this weekend.
It's not going to be easy.
of us because of exactly what it provides to the whole program," quarterback Joel Klatt said. "Obviously, the whole department gets a little national respect. Hopefully, we go down there and put together a solid effort and get recognized on a national stage where we feel we belong."

to steer the focus away from its troubles.
"It means a lot," linebacker Akarina Dawn said yesterday. "It's a statement game for this university and this program if you beat a top-15 team. Beating a name like Miami means a whole lot."
Ever since he posted the big schedule board in the locker room in the offseason, coach Gary Barnett says the buzz has been all about Miami. Sure, the Buffs traditionally play big-name teams like Texas and Oklahoma. But Miami — it simply grabs more players' attention.
"I think it's important to most
Since the Buffs began practice in August, every Friday has been labeled a "Miami Friday," meaning there would be extra conditioning and that the heat in the
weight room would be turned up to prepare for the humid, sweltering conditions the Buffs will probably face when they head South.
MLB
Barnett's biggest task over the first two weeks of the season was keeping the Buffs focused on the opponent at hand. First there was rival Colorado State, then came New Mexico State. The Buffs won both games and their 39-0 win over New Mexico State two weeks ago was just what Barnett was hoping for — a disciplined, thorough effort from a team that was focusing on the present, not the Hurricanes.
But after a bye week, it's time.
Sweeney helps Royals take game from Tigers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Mike Sweeney's double with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Aaron Guiel, giving the Kansas City Royals a 5-4 victory against the Detroit Tigers in the first game of a
doubleheader yesterday.
Guiel had a pinch-hit single with one out off Craig Dingman (3-3) and scored easily on Sweeney's double to right-center, his second RBI of the game.
Mike MacDougal (4-5) pitched a scoreless inning for the victory.
The Royals took advantage of errors by Chris Shelton and
Nook Logan to score three runs, two unearned, in the first inning. Chip Ambres led off and reached first on Shelton's fielding miscue at first base. Ambros advanced to third on Terrence Long's single and scored on Sweeney's sacrifice fly.
Emil Brown singled, sending Long to third. Brown went to second on Logan's throwing
error from center field. Matt Stairs lined a single to left to score Brown and Long.
The Tigers countered with two runs in the second. Brandon Inge and John McDonald each drove in a run.
John Buck's sacrifice fly in the fourth scored Stairs, who led off with a walk and went to third on Angel Berroa's double.
The Tigers tied it at 4 with a
two-run fifth and chased rookie left-hander J.P. Howell. Curtis Granderson, Placido Polanco and Shelton started the inning with singles to produce a run, and Shawn Camp replaced Howell. Camp's wild pitch allowed Polanco to score the second run of the inning.
Howell, who gave up four runs, six hits and three walks in four innings, has allowed 10 runs and 13 hits in seven
innings in his past two starts, both no-decisions.
Camp pitched three shutout innings, allowing two hits, before being replaced by rookie left-hander Andrew Sisco to begin the eighth.
Tigers starter Mike Maroth went seven innings, allowing four runs, two earned, and eight hits. Chris Spurling replaced him in the eighth.

Chiefs strive for 3-0 start
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs are holding back the swagger and putting off the party.
res, they're one of four teams in the AFC who are 2-0. They have impressive wins over the New York Jets and Oakland and reason to believe all their work toward rebuilding a crumbling defense is paying off.
"Normally, when you win a football game and you really feel good about it flying home, you look at tapes and it's not quite as good as you thought it was," Vermeil said yesterday.
But a review of the film of Sunday night's 23-17 victory at the Raiders brought to mind a lesson coach Dick Vermell learned long ago.
"Conversely, when you lose a football game and you fly home and look at it, it's not as bad as you thought it was. We know we aren't there yet. But we all feel we have the talent here to continue to get better."
Sobering, too, is the location of their next game, in Denver on Monday night. That's a place the Chiefs have traditionally had more than their share of trouble at. For his career, Vermeil is 0-4 in the Rockies.
Improved speed at linebacker, with rookie Derrick Johnson and veteran Kendrall Bell, should help contain those backbreaking bootleg plays the Broncos have hurt the Chiefs with year after year. But the Denver running game has always given Kansas City a headache.
"The big problem with them is their offensive line and their zone scheme." Vermeil said.
"They do an awfully good job with it. Everybody has a few zone scheme running plays. We do. But they build their offense
on that. They get you stretched, reaching out, and then they shove you out and cut right back underneath you. They do a good job of cutting the linebackers off."
For the second week in a row, Kansas City will probably be without Willie Roaf, a dominating Pro Bowl left tackle. Third-year man Jordan Black, who was switched from right tackle to Roaf's spot on the left side, would again step in.
SPORTS
"One was at least a pretty good call," said Vermeil. "Sometimes, hey, if you're getting beat, you don't want the quarterback hit, you take the penalty. But overall, Jordan Black did a good job for his first start at left tackle. That's a tough position."
Black got mixed reviews and had one horrendous stretch. After Oakland tied it at 17, the Chiefs went on a nine-minute drive that got them to a first and goal at the 9. But then on successive plays Black was called for holding, and the Chiefs ended up kicking a field goal.
"He has the talent to play, just doesn't have the experience. And he's not Willie Roaf. He did have some problems."
Black also had his moments, Vermel said.
If they can hold together while in Denver and get away with a win, the Chiefs would seize control of the AFC West. They would have at least a two-game lead on everyone else.
But that kind of thinking, Vermeil cautioned, is getting far ahead of where he wants his players to be.
"None of us are disillusioned in any way. We know we're not where we have to be, where we want to be," he said. "It's way, way too early. We aren't arrogant in any way. We aren't cocky. We aren't strutting around bragging about how good we are."
Running back's court date postponed
NFL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The assault case against Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has been postponed.
David Eulitt/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, center, walks out of municipal court in Kansas City, Mo., yesterday, Sept. 20, 2005, after his appearance in Courtroom E on a charge of domestic assault stemming from an incident at a Plaza nightclub Sept. 10. Johnson's case was continued until Nov. 29.
Johnson appeared in Kansas City Municipal Court yesterday for trial on an assault charge stemming from a Sept. 10 altercation with a woman in a bar. But the judge continued the case to Nov. 29, despite objections by Johnson's lawyer.
A woman said Johnson shoved her while inside the Kansas City bar. The 25-year-old woman, who lives in the suburb of Overland Park, said she had been involved with Johnson for more than two years.
Police cited Johnson for assault by writing him a ticket, which included a court date for Tuesday.
A city prosecutor asked for a continuance, saying a witness was not in court. Johnson's attorney, Kevin Regan, objected and said he had five witnesses ready to testify. Two worked at the bar and three were bystanders, he said.
A continuance "would be a gross injustice to my client, who is ready to defend himself," Regan said.
Kansas City Municipal Court Judge Leonard Guillem III said
he typically allows prosecutors continuances and would not deviate just because Johnson's case is high-profile.
The Kansas City charge could prompt reinstatement of
Johnson County, Kan., charges for a 2003 incident in Johnson's Leawood home, where he was accused of slapping a woman and threatening her with a gun.
Johnson agreed to enter a domestic-violence diversion program to avoid prosecution in that case. As part of the deal, he was ordered to stay clear of legal trouble for two years.

Congress talks to other players about perjury
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
suspended this year for failing a drug test.
WASHINGTON — Still trying to figure out whether Rafael Palmeiro lied under oath about using steroids, Congress wants to hear what other players might know.
The House Government Reform Committee is interviewing major leaguers connected to the Baltimore Orioles slugger, including a Colorado outfielder
A congressional source familiar with the committee's work, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said Monday that "several active players" have spoken or will speak with the committee about Palmeiro. That source would not identify who was interviewed.
But Colorado Rockies outfielder Jorge Piedra said he spoke on the phone with the committee. He said investigators contacted him through his agent about a week ago, found out "all they wanted to know" in a matter of minutes and didn't plan to contact him again.
Piedra, the second player publicly identified under the sport's new steroid rules when he was suspended for 10 days in April,
said the committee "had a few questions and I just answered them honestly."
"I told them I didn't have anything to do with Palmeiro." Piedra said. "We only worked out a few times together."
Palmeiro was the seventh to be identified publicly, and by far the most accomplished, one of only four players in baseball history to collect at least 3,000 hits and 500 homers.

The players also understand the challenging season. Senior setter Andi Rozum said they will be ready every night.
"We know that every Big 12 match we go into will be tough." Rozum said.
This match-up could be a pivotal one for the final league standings.
Last season, Kansas and Texas both finished in the top half of the league. This year, Texas was picked to finish third, and Kansas was selected fifth by the Big 12 preseason coaches poll.
"Every team is just so good," Lima said. "We have to be ready every game."
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima said the Jayhawks would have to be on top of their game if they wanted to be at the top of the league.

"They'll pull for the other guys to do well, but at the same time, they are thinking 'This is my time too.' So I think it is going to make for some pretty competitive practices."
Chalmers said the biggest knock on him is that he hasn't played against tough competition, as some of his teammates have.
As a freshman, he also doesn't have the leadership qualities that the older players do, which could hurt him at the beginning of the season.
"The Big 12 is a physical conference, so I just need to get stronger," Chalmers said. "Coming out of high school, people here are a lot stronger, a lot quicker than what I played against in Alaska."

Cardinals lose more than a game
BY JOE KAY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI — The St. Louis Cardinals are hoping their latest injury is gone by the time the playoffs arrive.
Rich Aurilia drove in three runs with a homer and a single last night, rallying the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 victory over the NL Central champions in a game that had little meaning for either team.
Until Mark Grudzielanek hit the ground, that is.
The Cardinals have won 95 games even though the everyday lineup has been battered by injuries. They suffered another yesterday when their second baseman twisted his right ankle in a collision with Reds first baseman Javier Valentin while running out a grounder.
A few hours later, it appeared
the cardinals would get lucky this time.
"It stung a little bit, but I'm fine now, really," Grudzielandek said. "I don't see it swelling."
Grudzielanek has missed games in the last month because of a sore back and knee. He smacked into Valentin — who was trying to field an errant throw — and spun around before landing awkwardly. He sat on the field with a grimace for several minutes, then walked off slowly.
With two weeks left before the playoffs, manager Tony La Russa wants to keep his regulars sharp by keeping them in the lineup most of the time.
The Cardinals reached the World Series last year but were sweet by Boston.
La Russa was relieved that Grudzielanek's injury didn't appear to be serious, leaving him listed as day-to-day.

BIG I2 FOOTBALL Charges may be filed against K-State player
MANHATTAN — Kansas State University police yesterday turned the report of running back Thomas Clayton's arrest over to prosecutors, who will decide what — if any charges to file.
Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson said he received the
report shortly after noon but would not be able to review it until last night because of a heavy caseload. Clayton's first appearance in District Court was set for 1 p.m. Oct. 3.
The junior, whose 164.5- yard rushing average leads the nation, was arrested Friday on a complaint of aggravated battery against a university parking employee. A parking official said Clayton was driving away to avoid having a wheel boot placed on his car
to immobilize it because of a violation.
A charge of aggravated battery would require physical contact, Wilkerson said — but it was still unclear yesterday whether Clayton's car hit employee James A. Seymour. Police would not release witness statements, and Seymour, 44, of Manhattan, declined comment.
Jeff Barnes, the university's assistant director of parking services, told The Topeka Capital-Journal that Clayton's vehicle had hit Seymour. Barnes told The Associated Press yesterday that he stood by those comments, but refused to repeat them.
The public portion of the police report indicated that Sevmour was not injured.
Clayton had been expected to attend the Wildcats' weekly news conference yesterday, but coach Bill Snyder made a late decision to hold him out.

In his guilty plea, Skillman admitted that on numerous occasions he completed academic work on behalf of student athletes so that they could obtain associate degrees they were not entitled to receive, according to the U.S. attorney's office.
Coach pleads guilty to fraud
The fraud charge stemmed from the mailing of a falsified academic transcript for basketball player Randy Pulley from the western Kansas junior college to the University of Missouri in Columbia
WICHITA — A former assistant basketball coach at Barton County Community College has pleaded guilty to fraud and embezzlement charges, the latest development in an investigation that has snarled three coaches in federal indictments and led to the firing of the school's president.
Matt Skillman pleaded guilty Monday to one count of embezzlement for falsifying timecards so players could receive money from the federal work-study program without doing any work. Skillman also pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud.
Sentencing was set for Dec. 5 before Judge Wesley E. Brown.
CRIME
"Most of the time people plead guilty because they have done something wrong and they are ready to accept responsibility for what they have done wrong. That is the situation with Matt," defense attorney Steve Gradert said yesterday.
Through a spokeswoman, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren declined to comment on the guilty plea.
Skillman, 30, worked for eight months at Barton Community College during 2002 and 2003 as an assistant coach under former basketball coaches Ryan Wolf and David "Soupy" Campbell.
Wolf has pleaded not guilty to 37 counts of fraud, theft and embezzlement, and one forfeiture count.
His trial is set for Oct. 25 in U.S. District Court in Wichita.
Campbell has pleaded not guilty to one count each of embezzlement and theft. A trial date is not set.
Former Barton County Community College President Veldon Law was fired in July because of the controversy.
Gradert said Skillman was not so much motivated by pressure to win as by a "desire to produce players to the Division I schools and please coaches at higher levels, in hopes that someday you can advance to that level yourself through those contacts."
"This is a sad case, particularly for Matt, because he was a young assistant coach who basically was doing what he was told," Gradert said.
Skillman, who is no longer coaching, faces a maximum of five years in federal prison, without parole, for the embezlement charge and a maximum of 20 years for the mail fraud, according to the U.S. attorney's office. His attorney hopes Skillman will be sentenced to probation.

"What I believe is that this stuff goes on throughout college sports _ particularly at the junior college level _ and may have been going on for years and years, long before Ryan Wolf or Matt Skillman or any of these guys came along," Gradert said.

Home runs decrease with steroid testing
BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Baseball power dimmed this season, with home runs dropping to their lowest level in eight years and some linking the power outage to tougher steroid testing.
An average of 2.06 homers per game were hit through Monday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, down 8 1/2 percent from last season's final average of 2.25. The figure hasn't been so low since it dipped to 2.05 in 1997.
"A lot of guys who were hitting them haven't been hitting them." Florida's Lenny Harris said. "I think the drug policy had a lot to do with it. It changed a lot of guys' diets. There are too many people having off years."
eers
Some players point to the first year of steroid testing with penalties for first offenders. Nine players have been suspended for 10 days each for violating the major league policy, including Baltimore's Rafael Palmeiro.
"I think it's cyclical," baseball commissioner Bud Selig said. "It's very hard to determine what variables are at work here. I don't think anyone really knows."
Gene Orza, the chief operating officer of the players association, said linking steroid testing to the home-run average is too simplistic and pointed out that this year's level is only slightly lower than the 2.09 average for 2002.
Chicago White Sox's Paul Konerko reacts after popping up in the ninth inning to end the game against the Cleveland Indians on Monday in Chicago. The Indians won 7-5.
"You might want to consider other possibilities for home run production: the players are bigger because of training regimen, the ballparks are smaller, bat manufacture and design is different. There can be a slew of reasons."
2002.
"The numbers are essentially the same as they were three years ago, before there was testing, and in those three years players have been tested a massive number of times," he said.
Boston center fielder Johnny
Damon cites better pitching.
"We haven't really faced too many chumps for pitchers this year," he said. "Young guys coming in have got some unbelievable stuff."
Several stars had huge power drops, many because of long-term injuries. San Francisco's Barry Bonds went from 45 to two, Philadelphia's Jim Thome from 42 to seven and St. Louis' Scott Rolen from 34 to five.
"If I hit 12, the ratio would still be down," Bonds said.
Among those players who've been mostly healthy, Seattle's Adrian Beltre has fallen from 48 to 18, the New York Mets' Carlos Beltran from 38 to 15 and Washington's Vinny Castilla from 35 to 12. All three were free agents last winter and switched teams — and home ballparks.Texas has done its part to ensure the home-run average topped 2.0 for the 12th straight season — a figure reached only once in 25 years before the current boom began in 1994. The Rangers have 152 homers at Ameriquest Field, a record for a home ballpark, and lead the major leagues with 252 overall — 12 shy of the mark Seattle set in 1997. Bucking the trend are Houston's Morgan Ensberg, who has gone from 10 homers to 35 and Atlanta's Andruw Jones, up from 29 to 50.

White Sox in danger of missing playoffs

CHICAGO — Down at Jimo's, the mood is decidedly different these days.
"It's like they lost their chemistry." patron Sarah Gradry said.
Jammed earlier this season with families and friends pumping up the White Sox, the barrestaurant just two blocks from U.S. Cellular Field is now full of worry warts.
rally, parental support.
Rarely do baseball fans on the South Side dare to dream. Resigned to being second place in their own city, and without a World Series title since Sheoled Joe Jackson helped them win in 1917, they believed this season was going to be different _ until the White Sox headed toward a record collapse, the kind usually seen by the crosstown Cubs.
Leading the AL Central by 15 games on Aug. 1 and on the verge of a runaway, the White Sox find themselves hanging on with two weeks to go, trying to hold off the hard-charging Cleveland Indians.
Chicago still tops the league in wins, but a 7-5 loss to the Indians on Monday night cut its edge to 2 1/2 games. It was the eighth loss in 11 games for the White Sox and suddenly, instead of the playoffs, there's talk about them blowing the biggest lead ever.The 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers squandered a 13-game lead on Aug. 11, beaten when Bobby Thomson's homer doomed them in a playoff with the New York Giants for the NL pennant. The 1978 Boston Red Sox wasted a big edge over the New York Yankees and the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies blew it in the final week.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen can tell how things have changed from the tone of the emails he gets. After guiding Chicago to the best record in the majors for much of the season, he's under assault from angry critics and frustrated fans.
"A lot of nasty ones," Guillen says. "It's your fault. You stink. I know you are going to choke."
The Indians, meanwhile, won for the 13th time in 14 games Monday night.
"Everybody wants to put the blame on us and say this and that. We haven't played our best

Simmons steps up
Receiver's key catches save second half

KANSAN SHORT SPORTWRITER
If Kansas was to lose this game, its record would fall to 2-1, which would hurt its bowl game chances. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino challenged his team at halftime and knew someone would have to step up.
That player was Mark Simmons, senior wide receiver. Simmons was having a quiet season, collecting 58 yards in his first two games. At halftime on Saturday, Simmons had two catches for 15 yards. But Simmons came through for the Jayhawks in the second half, collecting four catches for 91 yards.
Kansas entered the locker room at halftime tied at seven with Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons congratulates junior running back Jon Cornish after a run during the game against Appalachian State on Sept. 10. Simmons totaled six catches for 106 yards against Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
"I told our wide receivers that this game was going to be on our shoulders," Simmons said. "I'm one of our senior leaders, and I knew we would have to make the big plays. I made a couple of plays and got our offensive rolling."
Simmons' four catches in the second half were timely and set Kansas up with good field position.
The first big catch of the half came early in the third quarter. Kansas started its drive on its own 37-yard line. After a short rushing gain, Luke connected on a 28-yard pass to Simmons that put the ball on the Louisiana Tech 32-yard line. Three plays later, on third down, Luke and Simmons connected again, this time for 23 yards, which set Kansas up on the three-yard line. Kansas would score two plays later to take the lead.
"He really did a nice job on the one ball on third down," Mangino said. "It was a little underthrown, and he kind of put

the brakes on and caught the ball lying on his side."
Simmons had one more big play in store for the second half. This time, it came in the fourth quarter, with Kansas leading 21-7.
The Jayhawks took over possession after an interception and got the ball on the Tech 30-yard line. On their first play, Simmons hauled in another pass from Luke for 29 yards, putting Kansas on the one-yard线. Kansas
Simmons ended the game with six catches for a total of 106 yards. He now ranks fifth in all-time career receiving yards at Kansas and ranks third in all-time career receptions.
would score on its next plav.
"Mark is a veteran guy here, and he made some key catches," Mangino said. "He has some talent, and we are counting on him to have a big year."
If Simmons continues to put up big numbers, he could pass Willie Vaughn, who ranks first in all-time receiving yardage with 2,266 yards. He needs nine catches to pass Vaughn for the all-time receptions lead, which is 133.

Offices combine to help students
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Leaders in the Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success want to be more helpful and accessible to KU students. To achieve this goal, the office will combine with the Office of the Dean of Students.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said combining the two offices would make the office more accessible, less bureaucratic and easier for students to understand.
Marynell Jones, student body vice president, said, "Centralizing the location will give a similar title to everyone in the office. Students can go to anyone in the office for information."
The office also announced that the title of dean of students would be replaced by the title of associate vice provost by March 2006.
The dean of students title is being retired because of the
confusion regarding the title's meaning, Roney said. The title implied that one person was ministering to the needs of the entire student body, which is impossible.
"Academic titles don't mean anything to students," she said.
Roney said the idea surfaced in a survey that student success employees completed about the office. Employees expressed concern about the confusion between the student success and dean of students offices.
Student success manages 18 departments that employ more than 750 staff members and 1,300 student employees within the Department of Student Housing, the Office of Admissions and Scholarships and Student Health Services.
The Office of the Dean of Students manages thematic learning communities and Student Senate, as well as Homecoming and the newly formed KU Parent Association. Five universities in the Big 12 have eliminated the dean of students title and replaced it with the associate vice provost title that the University is adopting.
A 16-member search committee will begin a national search to fill the associate vice provost position, Roney said. The committee was finalized yesterday. Richard Johnson held the position until he was fired from the University in April.
The search committee comprises faculty, staff and students.
The committee will have its first meeting Oct. 1.
Ann Brill, dean of journalism, is the chairwoman of the committee, which also includes representatives from the University of Kansas Medical Center and the Edwards Campus.
Roney said she hoped that on-campus visits would begin in February 2006 and that the new associate vice provost would start work June 1, 2006.

Registry lacks current offender information
Addresses, statuses outdated

The registry, available at http:// www.ku.edu/ ~kucops/CSC- PAlist.html, is intended to provide the names and addresses of all sex offenders that work at or attend the University of Kansas.

changing his classification as a student, the University will not be notified, Meier said. Essentially the University only receives information on each offender once — when his or her status as a student or an employee is registered.
The investigation revealed that there are
many discrepancies between the KBI's list of registered offenders and the KU Public Safety Office's list.
According to the Registrar's office, one of the listed offenders hasn't attended the University since Fall 2000. The public safety office lists his address as being updated in May 2005, but the KBI has no record of the offender.
Another student has moved four times since being at the address the KU Public Safety Office lists him at, said Sgt. Al Deathe of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Deathe deals with the county's sex offenders. He said keeping track of offenders is complicated because there are more than 20 circumstances

When Deathe is notified of changes, he sends in the information to the KBI. Deathe said it can take two to three weeks for the list to be updated, because, he said, the offender registry office is understaffed.
Deathe also said names and addresses aren't officially changed on the list until the sheriff's office can prove the offender actually lives at the new address provided.
Deathe said one offender on the Douglas County list doesn't live at the address listed but remains on the list

What do you THINK?
BY HALEY TRAVIS editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Should parents' involvement with their child's education stop after high school?
"I think it's going to be good for some really clingy parents that won't really let go of their kids. My roommate's mom is like that, so I kind of know how it is, but I think it will actually be a good idea."
*Philip Adam, Kansas City, Kan., freshman.*
PENGUIN
"I think it's probably a good idea that parents know what's going on in the University, as long as they still give their sons the freedoms they have in college to be on their own and be independent."
◆ Javier De Palacios, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, junior.
Frank Tankard / KANSAN
"I think it's a good opportunity for parents to get involved and know what their children are getting involved in at the school: know what type of roommate they're going to be rooming with if they come from a different background, if they want to be more associated with different people. We have different ethnic groups that come from different places, if they wanted to learn about different places and have different experiences."
★ Duchess Williams, Miami senior.
"I think it's great for parents to be involved. The only thing is, some students come to school to detach from their parents. It might make the student feel like they're still in high school, with their parents coming to meetings and being able to phone in. I think college is more about an independent experience and not relying on your parents."

University opens doors to student

KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
Paris Matthews sits in the lobby of Oliver Hall, wondering how she got there. Wondering how she got tossed from innercity Los Angeles to New Orleans to Topeka to Kansas City, Mo., to Lawrence in less than a month.
"It's nice here." she says.
It's like last week, Matthews didn't even know what a Jayhawk was. She had no idea she'd ever be one.
Her journey started a little more than a month ago when she left South-Central Los Angeles, where she'd lived all her life. She boarded a plane for New Orleans and traded her dangerous neighborhood for Xavier University of Louisiana to study political science.
to study she arrived at Xavier, unpacked her belongings, met her roommate and started class Aug. 22.
"I didn't like it there," she said. "It was too small. The curriculum seemed very easy."
She wasn't there long. Six days after classes started she fleed the city with two of her friends from Xavier — girls she'd gone to high school with who'd since left the neighborhood — after the news spread that Hurricane Katrina was going to hit.
The three of them climbed into a cab around noon on Aug. 28, the day before Katrina hit land, and headed to Atlanta. They arrived at 3 a.m., a few hours before Katrina made landfall. Total cab fare for the three of them: $573, Matthews said.
couple of days at the home of one of her traveling companions, but the friend's family didn't want them there for long, Matthews said.
She looks well-rested now after being here for a week: No circles line her eyes, her hair is neatly braided.
They stayed in Atlanta for a
She had decided that whatever happened, she wasn't going back to Los Angeles, so she and her other friend flew to Kansas City, Mo., after two days in Atlanta, to stay with her friend's aunt and uncle in Topeka.
Matthews was once again told she could stay there for a while — but not permanently. She learned that she would have to transfer colleges because the 4,100-person Xavier — not to be confused with the larger Xavier University in Cincinnati — had been hit hard.
After about two weeks and an unsuccessful attempt to get into Washburn University, the family suggested she look for another place to live, she said. One option was a local shelter for hurricane victims.
shelter." Matthews said.
So she called her mother, who in turn called up some old friends from their longtime church in Los Angeles — Gil and Bennie Crockran, who live in Kansas City, Mo.
"I know the environment she came from, and she's had a tough row to hoe, growing up in South-Central Los Angeles, in a gang-infested neighborhood. God has his hand on this girl's life," Gil Crockran said. He manages a Poneye's restaurant in Olathe.
"I wasn't going to live in a
As it turned out, they were the right people to call. They'd already been looking into sheltering a hurricane victim, and here was Matthews at their doorstep, the girl they'd known since she was 7 or 8 years old.
TRANSFERS
They took her grocery shopping and spent hours on the phone until she got her $2,000 relief check from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
They made it their mission to

find her a college. First they tried the University of Missouri-Kansas City, right down the street from their house. People there told them to contact Rockhurst University a few blocks away, Bennie Crockran said, and Rockhurst officials sent them to the University of Kansas.
The three of them drove to the University on Sept. 14 and were relieved when finally, a university greeted Matthews with open arms.
"Everybody was so kind, like she was a star. The word had buzzed around about the girl from Xavier. People were saying, 'Is she here yet?' Bennie Crockran, an animal control officer, said.
Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, gave the Crockrans and Matthews a tour of campus, helped Matthews enroll and gave her a blue T-shirt with "Class of 2009" printed on it. She started class the next day.
Page contacted Matthews' professors to make sure they'd let her make up missed work, and he warned her that starting school late would be challenging.
"She has a tough road ahead of her, but with what she's been through and her life experience, I think she'll be tenacious enough to make it at KU, both academically and personally." Page said.
Matthews plans to stay at the University all four years before applying to law school.
"I don't feel like moving around no more," she said. "There's been too much unpacking and packing again."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A 40-year old man has been hospitalized with the first confirmed case of the West Nile virus in Kansas City this year, the city's health department said yesterday.
The man spent considerable time outdoors, the department said. No other information about him was released.
So far this year, the state has
reported one death from the disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. A 70-year-old man from Adair County in northeast Missouri died on June 14. The man had other medical problems, but the virus was considered a contributing factor in his death.
body aches, skin rash and swollen lymph nodes.
West Nile is found in birds. Mosquitoes, after biting the birds, transfer the virus to mammals, including humans.
Less than 1 percent of those infected become seriously ill.
Most people infected with the virus develop no symptoms, while others suffer only mild illnesses, such as fever, headache,
Health officials say people wanting to protect themselves should wear an effective insect repellent, like one that contains DEET. It also helps to wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors. Tires and other items that can hold water should be removed from properties, because they can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Docking family contributes funds for a new gateway
A new gateway, featuring a water fountain, will be built near the intersection of 13th Street and Oread Avenue.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced that the $600,000 gateway would be funded by a gift from the Docking family of Wichita.
"This is an outstanding way to honor the legacy of the Docking family and provide a fitting entrance to the University of Kansas," Hemenway said. "This gateway will improve the visibility of this historic entrance to the campus and is an integral part of KU's campus landscape master plan."
The gateway will be named for the Docking family, including former Kansas Lt. Gov. Tom Docking and his wife, Kansas alumna Jill Docking.
"Jill and I hope our support of this valuable enhancement to the campus will return to KU some of the immense benefit our family has received over many generations,"Tom Docking said.
Construction will begin in Spring 2006, pending approval from the Campus Historic Preservation Board and the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission. The gateway fountain will feature vertical jets of water in a round plaza.

Trip abroad sparks call for action
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Erin Larive couldn't believe what she had heard was going on in Uganda. She was studying abroad in Nairobi, Kenya, and decided to go see for herself. In Uganda, Larive saw the effects of the refugee camps in the war zone of the northern area of the country.
"At the camp, people were eating trash and there were the malnourished children with giant bellies," Larive, who graduated in the spring, said. "It's hard to think that the kids I met are not still alive."
According to the British Broadcasting Corp., more than one million people inhabit the camps and face food shortages and lack proper medication. The refugees relocated to these camps to escape attacks from Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army rebels in their villages. For 19 years, more than 20,000 children have been abducted by the rebel forces to be used as soldiers and sex slaves.
Rebekah Heacock, Lawrence senior, heard of the conditions from Larive and took action.
"When I heard about the situation, I felt like I had a responsibility to do something," Heacock said. "People need to know so they can pressure our government to support peace negotiations."
Heacock, Larive and Whitney Onasch, Fairwayjunior, created the KU4Uganda Club to educate and encourage others to act for peace in Uganda and to call on government leaders to make an effort for peaceful resolution to the war.
"At the camp, people were eating trash and there were the malnourished children with giant bellies."
Erin Larive 2005 graduate
More than 20 students have expressed interest so far, Heacock said. The group has applied for registration with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.
The first meeting will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday at Mirth, 745 New Hampshire, formerly Cafe Nova. The group will discuss its next event, the GuluWalk Day on Oct. 21 and 22. Participants will walk from Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive, northeast of Sixth Street and Wakarua Road, to South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, beginning at 5:30 p.m. A film about the children affected by the war will also be shown at the park. Afterward, participants will sleep in a local community building before walking back to the high school the next morning.
The Lawrence GuluWalk Day is one of 32 similar walks taking place internationally. KU4Uganda's goal is to raise at least $2,000 to help provide shelter, food and support to the "night commuters" of northern Uganda.
"These are children in rural northern Uganda who walk up to 7.5 miles each night to the cities where they feel safer from rebel attack and abduction than at home." Heacock said. "They shouldn't be living like this."

Meeting children and families at a refugee camp in northern Uganda inspired Erin Larive, a 2005 graduate, to educate KU students about the plight of Ugandan refugees. More than 1 million people live in the camps and face starvation and lack of medications.

at that address because the sheriff's office can't prove he's living somewhere else.
"This guy is riding the trains somewhere," Deathe said. "He's one that likes to stir up trouble."
Jerilyn Smith, director of GaDuGi Safecenter, a support center for rape victims, said the center does work with the KU Public Safety Office and uses its sex offender registry. She said she had concerns that it wasn't as up to date as the KBI's registry.
"It does cause me alarm, but I don't want to point a finger at the PSO [Public Safety Office] or any other public law enforcement," Smith said.
Smith said she knew it was up to the sex offender to keep the sheriff's office informed of his or her current address, so she said she didn't think it would be appropriate to blame law enforcement for mistakes.
The KBI updates its sex offender registry by sending out letters to registered offenders every 90 days and the Web site is updated every week. Meier said.
A summer audit by the KBI and Kansas sheriff's offices found that 13 percent of the 3,392 offenders were not at the address listed on the registry.

ALL GREEK TO ME
PAGE 5A
I hope that through this writing I won't discredit a past writer who, through his pledgeship at one fraternity, Sigma Nu, felt he was able to ascertain the activities of the entire fraternity community. I wish, however, to offer my own observations about the fraternity community, as someone who actually has close contact with all 19 of them, and works with them on a daily basis.
SCOTT SHORTEN opinion@kansan.com
Where should I start? Should I tell you about how fraternity men consistently earn grades higher than the average KU student? Perhaps I should tell you about how Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Chi all received awards this summer from their national organizations for being outstanding chapters?
How about the already $13,153 that has been collected for donation to the Red Cross for hurricane relief and 25 members of Delta Chi going down to New Orleans during Fall Break to help? And these projects are only from the eight chapters with whom I've spoken recently, and they are largely in addition to their normal philanthropy projects.
How about the measures we put in place to prevent chapters from getting out of control so they don't resemble Animal
No. Let's not talk about those things. They aren't nearly sensational enough. Let's talk about hazing, or rather, the misconceptions about its prevalence in fraternity life.
House and the programs designed to promote responsible alcohol use? I could go on.
Had the author I previously mentioned written what he did 25 years ago, I would have agreed with him to a large extent. But the suggestions that hazing is still a common practice at this University is categorically false; especially in the sense that his article implies. People hear the word "hazing" and instantly they imagine physical abuse to incoming freshmen. They imagine people being paddled. They imagine people being forced to drink or do demeaning activities.
Those activities are a relic of the past and are as dead as the chapters who practiced them.
What Sigma Nu got in trouble with, I suspect, had little to do with that type of physical hazing, but rather activities that many people may not even consider hazing at all, in the traditional sense. That's pure conjecture, though; and I'm not trying to downplay the harm that may be caused psychologically, only that hazing no longer strictly means physical abuse.
To suggest, however, that any type of activity falling under the category "hazing" is as pervasive as suggested is ridiculous. What makes it even more ridiculous is that the author is such an outsider to the whole system.
He pretends, it seems, to know something he does not.
I don't think he's alone in his misconceptions, though — everywhere in film and television we see fraternities portrayed in that fashion. Fraternities, being mostly secret societies, are misunderstood on many levels. This is just one of them.
Is every fraternity man the saint their creeds ask them to be? No, of course not. Do some guys party too hard? Probably, but not in any greater proportion than the general student population. Do fraternities facilitate the transition of new students into collegiate life, guiding and supporting them along the way, while also managing to have fun? Absolutely.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to shed the belief that today's fraternity is the same as it was 25 years ago. The fraternity of the
21st century is one that contributes back to its community, one that builds men up instead of tearing them down and one that fosters the ideal environment for developing upstanding citizens and leaders of tomorrow. It would be substantially off base to suggest anything to the contrary.
Thank you to all you members of fraternities who live by your creeds. Keep up the great work it doesn't go unnoticed by everyone.
I see this because I am involved; with it every day; and it breaks, my heart that more people can't see these organizations from the same perspective that I do.

Keep education for all
Education is a right every person should be able to access. The truth is, however, that an enormous part of the U.S. population is denied this right.
Immigrants without legal citizenship status in the country struggle to receive a higher education because the law requiring states to provide education stops at the high-school level.
In order to remedy this inequality between students, the Georgia Senate will vote on a law that would allow immigrant students who meet certain requirements to pay in-state tuition. Kansas has already adopted a similar law by passing the House Bill 2145.
P
What they have not figured out is that illegal immigrant pay taxes just like any other citizen. By living and working in the state of Kansas, residents pay sales tax and any worker's taxes. If people contribute to the
Yet, the people who refuse to support the in-state tuition bill are closing the door for these opportunities. Instead, they
Just like in Georgia, this bill has many opponents. These opponents do not understand the value of education, regardless of immigration status. People against the in-state tuition bill argue that illegal immigrants do not pay taxes, therefore they should not be able to benefit from the state.
ALAIDE VILCHIS opinion@kansan.com
Kansas economy, they should be allowed to enjoy the essential right to education.
People who immigrate to the United States do so because they have few other options in their own country. They wish for better opportunities for their children.
This means that states will enjoy the wisdom they have planted in the students. After all, education is the basis of a good, stable democratic country.
But any of the states debating in-state tuition laws will benefit greatly from immigrants getting higher education even after they graduate from college.
One of the requirements for those who want to enjoy the instate tuition bill is to pledge to work for the state where they go to college after graduation.
prieter to have poorly educated people living in the United States because students, rather than leaving the country, will start working right after high school.
The reason why paying instate tuition is so important for illegal immigrants is that they can not submit a Free Application of Federal Student Aid as an out-of-state citizen could. These immigrants know that the opportunities they are given by going to college is priceless and they are truly going to school to learn.
Let them know your opinion about the issue. After all, this bill reflects on the University of Kansas, and the students affected will be the same students sitting next to you in class.
As students of higher education, we have to decide who the people we want taking classes next to us will be. Though the house bill already applies in Kansas, students represented by Chris Kobach are trying to appeal it. So, write your congressman or any representative in the Kansas government.

Wealth of knowledge
As the recovery continues from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina, great attention has been given to the slow and ineffective relief efforts that contributed to the loss of hundreds of lives.
The government's shuffling feet had little to do with race, and everything to do with the income level of the afflicted. Nearly all of the dead are poor African-Americans, without the financial means to afford a hotel, or even a ticket out of town, resigned to stick out a category-five hurricane in a city laving 10 feet below sea level.
After the initial destruction, the real tragedy began, as state and federal emergency relief was inexcuably slow to act, resulting in many more deaths. Many critics have blamed this lack of concentrated and prompt relief on the race of the victims.
Picking on the poor is a popular pastime in our country. While oppression of the lower classes has occurred since man began walking upright, the bullying has become particularly nasty during the last 25 years, when "Reaganomics," a bastardized version of supply-side economics, was unveiled to the masses.
Tax cuts for the wealthy and trimming of "government spending" (read: social programs for the poor) was promised to lead to unprecedented economic growth for all citizens, rich and poor.
CHRIS RAINE

The wealth gained by the superrich would "trickle down" to the middle and lower classes in the way of better jobs and lower consumer prices.
In reality, "Reaganomics" did little trickling, and by 1988 it resulted in a deep recession that prompted then candidate George H.W. Bush to decry the duplicitous economic policy as "voodoo economics."
What this thinly veiled attack on the poor did accomplish was mass cutting of social programs for the needy, a crushing federal debt that we're still saddled with
---
today, and the largest gap between the rich and the poor that civilization had ever witnessed.
This income gap remains, and it's only grown larger during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
So when faced with these sobering statistics, what was President Bush's response? Tax cuts for the wealthy. Based on Congress.

es. As the rich gorge, the poor continue to wait for their promised windfall, which history shows will most likely never come.
The result of this full assault on the "working classes" is particularly poignant to the people of New Orleans, who know all-to-well the harsh realities of poverty.
Only Detroit has more poverty stricken residents, with nearly one-fourth of its families and 40 percent of its children living below the poverty level.
Most of these people's lives are daily tragedies; Hurricane Katrina only added to the grief and brought the fickle attention of America to bear on the hardships suffered by the poor in New Orleans.
Now we need to shift that attention to the troubles faced nationwide by the working poor, and engage in real solutions to the very real problem of poverty nationwide.
Responsible tax policy combined with necessary, efficient programs to help the needy, and a sensible and compassionate attitude toward the needy are what's needed to combat the growing poverty problem.
Tax cuts aimed at the richest among us only exacerbate these struggles, and the zeal to help out those who need it least will only be abated for a short time: before the Katrina catastrophe, the Senate was set to vote that week on a repeal of the estate tax, which would benefit all of 2 percent of the richest families in the country, none of whom will be going to sleep hungry tonight.
A popular saying amongst proponents of "Reaganomics" is "A rising tide lifts all boats." Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath reinforces the reality that this rising tide simply drowns those who can't afford boats, an unacceptable reality in a country overflowing with wealth.

ABUSE SCANDAL
Group urges name removal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A group of survivors of clergy sexual abuse yesterday urged the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo. and a Boy Scout group to remove the name of a priest accused of sexual abuse from a chapel at a Boy Scout camp near St. Joseph.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests asked Bishop Robert Finn and a Boy Scout headquarters in St. Joseph to remove the name of the late Rev. Sylvester Hoppe from the chapel at Camp Geiger.
The Scouts named the chapel after Hoppe in 1999 in honor of his nearly 75 years of involvement with the organization.
In the last three years, three men have filed lawsuits against the diocese claiming that Hoppe sexually abused them in the 1950s. The diocese settled one lawsuit for $10,000; the other two are still pending. The men claim in the lawsuits that the diocese ignored and covered up reports of abuse by Hoppe, who died in 2002.
SNAP thinks other lawsuits
against Hoppe are likely, said David Clohessy, the group's national director.
"Publicly honoring an accused serial molester severely discourages other victims who are considering reporting these kinds of crimes," he said.
Although the camp is owned by the Boy Scouts and the diocese has no authority to change the name, it could encourage the Scouts to take that step, Clohesy said.
The Rev. Robert Murphy, vicar general of the diocese, issued a statement that did not address SNAP's request, other than noting that the Boy Scouts own and supervise the camp.
Murphy said the diocese regrets any clergy sexual abuse and is ready to help any victims.
"We stand ready to offer our support and our resources for healing to victims and survivors of abuse," Murphy said in the statement.
The head of the Boy Scout headquarters in St. Joseph said the request would be forwarded to the group's facilities committee for any possible action.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas men's basketball team will face Kentucky in January in what may be the most anticipated home game of the season.
Before the 11 a.m. tip-off, officials from Kansas and Kentucky will have spent months planning for the marquee match up.
Coaches must be consulted
and schools must compare open dates before television officials can begin salivating at the chance to broadcast a Final Four-caliber match up long before the madness of March.
This behind-the-scenes workload for Kansas belongs to Athletics Department official Larry Keating.
Keating, senior associate athletics director, is responsible for scheduling football and basketball games. Scheduling
is important to a strong national reputation, whether building a program or maintaining an established tradition.
For football, Keating said, there are only a handful of teams that would be considered for nonconference games. After 30 years of scheduling, Keating has a good idea of which teams will best fit into the Jayhawks nonconference schedule and which teams would be willing to travel to Lawrence for a game. The key
to nonconference games for most teams in major conferences is starting league play with an unblemished record.
When the department schedules a guarantee game, the opposing team is guaranteed a predetermined amount of money for coming to Lawrence. A home-and-home series typically involves at least one home game for each team in the agreement.
On average, Keating said, Division IA football teams receive
a $400,000 paycheck for playing the Jayhawks at Memorial Stadium. Division IAA teams receive between $250,000 and $275,000.
The amount paid, to an opposing team is determined based on the potential income from football games. Before entering into negotiations with other schools, Keating has an undisclosed limit on how much can be spent to lure an opponent to Lawrence. Keating said schools with stadiums
that seat more than 85,000 fans, such as Tennessee or Ohio State, could potentially pay up to $1 million to opponents per game.
Mid-level college teams still receive their $1 million pay day, no matter the outcome of the game against a high-ranked opponent.
"In many cases, their programs require them to do guarantee games because of budget," Keating said.

Longhorns kill winning streak
BY MATT WILSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The 24th-ranked Kansas volleyball team had its six-match winning streak snapped last night with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at No. 23 Texas.
The Jayhawks (10-2, 2-1 Big 12) found themselves unable to weather multiple early storms produced by the Longhorns (7-2, 2-1) and
were unable to create enough thunder themselves. Despite rallying to win games three and four, the team's early struggles cost the Jayhawks a chance at their first-ever 3-0 start in the Big 12 Conference.

score tied at 20, the Longhorns rattled off six of the next seven points for a commanding 26-21 lead. They won the second stanza 30-24.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was disappointed in the way the Jayhawks played in the early going. Kansas had 27 combined hitting and service errors in the first two games.
"We were just handing them points. We had more kills and more digs than them, but our errors really cost us."

we had more kills and more digs than them, but our errors really cost us."
Kansas finally got on the board in the third game. The Jayhawks were in control in the middle of the set after a 5-0 run gave them a 20-13 lead. They built their advantage to eight points at 23-15 before watching the Longhorns mount yet another comeback. Texas closed to within two at 29-27, but a kill from sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown won the game for Kansas.

no short-lived. Texas stormed back to seize control at 14-12.
From there the two squads went back and forth. The game was tied at 26 before Kansas scored four of the last five points to win 30-27.
Kansas came back to get within one point at 12-11, but that was as close as the Jayhawks would get. Texas held on to win the game 15-13 and, with it, the match.
The fifth, and deciding game, was hard-fought. The Longhorns went on a 4-0 run to put the Jayhawks down 8-4 in the middle stages.
Texas sophomore outside hitter Jen Christian led the Longhorns with 20 kills and 10 digs. UT junior outside hitter Dariam Acevedo added 22 kills.
Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Paula Caten's 21 kills and 10 digs. Four Jayhawks finished with double-digit kills.
Bechard was pleased with the effort his team made to get back into the match, even though the Jayhawks came up short.
Kansas has now lost three straight matches to Texas, dating back to last season when the Longhorns swept the season series with the Jayhawks.
"We didn't play that well technically, but we fought like crazy" he said.
"That is a constant that will serve us well in Big 12 play throughout the season."

Kansas benefits from a week off
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two weeks. That's how long the Kansas football team will have to prepare before facing Texas Tech on Oct. 1.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino and his coaching staff said they have focused on their own team during practice rather than focusing on the Red Raiders.
Junior running back Jon Cornish breaks up the middle during the game against Louisiana Tech Saturday. Cornish ran for 39 yards and scored one touchdown during the 34-14 victory.

"I think we've got some momentum here," he said. "In one sense, you'd like to say you would like to keep playing. The other half of that story is that we could use some time to improve ourselves fundamentally."
"When you get an off week like this, it almost serves a dual purpose," he said. "You get to rest your body a little bit, and you don't necessarily have the pressure of a game on Saturday."
Mangino said the focus will shift onto Texas Tech today.

Finding this year's hatchling 'Hawks
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
Since Sept. 9, the first day that NCAA coaches were allowed to contact recruits, Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self and his staff have been on the recruiting trail, selling Kansas,to some of the most highly recruited basketball players in the nation.
Some of the country's top high school basketball players will help the Jayhawks kick off the 2005-06 season at this year's Late Night with Bill Self.
At the top of the Jahawks' list of recruits are three high school seniors; guard Sherron Collins, forward Darrell Arthur and guard Biu Muonelo.
Collins, a 5-foot-11-inch point guard from Chicago Crane High School, is the fourth-ranked point guard in the class of 2006, according to the recruiting Web site Rivals.com. Collins is being recruited by Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi State, Iowa and Missouri, according to the Web site. But
Kansas is the only team he is scheduled to visit so far.
"Coach Self gave him some history, some of the former players and current players and what it's like to play basketball at Kansas," Longstreet said.
Self visited Collins on Sept. 12, when they talked about the Kansas program, said Anthony Longstreth, Collins' high school basketball coach.
He said Self told Collins that if he chose Kansas he would play point guard, despite the jayhawks' deep backcourt.
"My understanding is that he talked to Chalmers about it," Longstreet said. "He seems to think Sherron is the missing piece."
Longstreet, who dealt with Self when he coached at Illinois, said he would endorse Kansas if he felt Collins had used good judgement in weighing his options.
"I've known coach Self for a long time, and I trust him," Long street said. "If he says something then I have to believe him."

lowa, rises in rankings
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney was so thrilled with the home crowd's enthusiasm during the Cyclones' victory over Iowa two weeks ago in Ames, he e-mailed all the ISU students thanking them for their support.
The responses flooded the coach's in box.
"The e-mails are out of sight," he said. "I only had one negative response, and it happens to be a Hawkeye fan who goes to Iowa State."
The Cyclones (2-0) moved into the Associated Press Top 25 after upsetting then-No. 8 lowa two weeks ago and will play at Army at West Point, N.Y., tomorrow night.
Iowa State will play as a ranked team for the first time since Nov. 9, 2002.
"There's not much meaning in rankings right now, but (a victory) would be a good notch in Army's situation," he said.
McCarney said he was wary of the Cadets (0-2) because they came close to beating Baylor last weekend and were hungry for a win.
I haven't seen this team (lowa State) on the road yet," McCarney said. "The atmosphere of West Point, 4,000 cadets, their history and tradition, I don't know how it will affect this team."

Nebraska will be on the road to open Big 12 play in Boulder, Colo., against Colorado. Kansas lost to Nebraska 1-0 last year at Kansas.

Both Bettina Grossmann, freshman midfielder, and Angelika Feldbacher, freshman forward, should step up for Oklahoma State this season. They earned Big 12 Defensive and Newcomer Players of the Week for their performances last week. The team defeated in-state rival, Tulsa, 6-1, Sunday in Stillwater, Okla., so they are entering conference play on a roll. With veteran leadership from junior forward Jesyca Rosholt, who had a hat trick against Tulsa, the Cowgirls will work to continue their nine-game unbeaten streak. Rosholt leads Big 12 players with 19 points and seven goals. The Cowgirls, who the Jayhawks defeated 1-0 last season in Stillwater, Okla., will visit Lawrence Oct. 7 to take on the Jayhawks.

Jennifer Nobis, senior forward, also played a key roll in the victory, heading in the game-winning goal. Nobis leads the team with 11 points on the season. Aria Hudetz, junior midfielder and forward, and Amber Swinehart, senior forward, are tied for fifth in the Big 12 with four goals each this season.

One of the team's highlights included a team victory at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational, which was the program's first tournament victory since 1990.
Last season, the Jayhawks were a young, inexperienced bunch that had their ups and downs throughout the year.
At the end of the year, the Jayhawks couldn't quite piece it all together, finishing ninth at the Big 12 Tournament.
"We were really close to breaking through at the end of the season, but we were just too inexperienced," women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said. "It was understandable."
O'Neil expects much more out of her team this season, especially because of the work her players put in this summer.
Team members' summer on the links included countless hours of working on their short game and course management in the scorching heat.
"We love to golf and look forward to playing with one another."
Each player also competed in tournaments, including junior Amanda Costner who played in
Sarah Kierl

the U.S. Women's Amateur.
Costner, expected to lead the Jayhawks this year, has already gotten off to a sizzling start.
The junior finished third overall last week at The Ptarmigan Classic and led the team to a sixth-place finish.
After breaking out last season with four finishes in the top 20 at tournaments, including a first-place finish at The Lady Boilermaker Invitational, Costner is being counted on to help the team reach its lofty goals.
These goals include placing in the top five at most tournaments, finishing in the top five in the Big 12 Conference and reaching Nationals.
"Dream big is our motto, and I believe we will do whatever it takes to achieve these dreams," senior Meredith Winkelmann said.
The young, inexperienced team of last year is now a veteran team led by seniors Winkelmann and Chelsey Pryor, plus top individual Costner.
Throw juniors Jill Womble and Kelly Birdsell into the mix, along with sophomores Kierl and Annie Giangrosso, and the Jayhawks have all the ingredients for success.

To create a recipe for success, however, more than just the ingredients are necessary.
The ingredients must be blended together correctly, and this team has done that by already creating undeniably strong team chemistry.
This special bond is not only evident to the players but also to the coach.
"There's very close team chemistry this season. We're all striving for the same thing and that makes a difference," O'Neil said.
Team camaraderie and fun may be high on the team's list of priorities for the season, but just like the kids on "The Sandlot," the Jayhawks are totally dedicated to their sport.
"We love to play golf," Kierl said. "It's why we're here."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
OU, OSU try out new QBs
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops announced this week that junior quarterback Paul Thompson will be switching positions.
Thompson started the first game of the year at quarterback for the Sooners but was benched in favor of Rhett Bomar. Thompson will be switching to wide receiver. Stoops said Thompson would still be the team's backup quarterback but would spend most of his time in practice as a wide receiver.
Oklahoma wasn't the only team in the Big 12 Conference to move one of its quarterbacks. Oklahoma State moved Donovan Woods from quarterback to the defensive backfield. Like Thompson, Woods started the first game of the year and was projected to be the team's starting quarterback throughout the season.
After the first two games, Oklahoma State coaches gave
Bobby Reid the job and moved Woods to defense. Joe Deforest, associate head coach, said Woods has played well in his new position.
"He made a great tackle, deflected a pass, had a couple of other big plays—and his knowledge at quarterback seems to help him with the coverage," DeForest said. Both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have bye weeks this week. Oklahoma will kick off its conference schedule Oct.1 against Kansas State. Oklahoma State will start its conference season Oct.1 against Colorado.
Tough Test
Colorado will be traveling to Miami this weekend to do battle with the nationally ranked Miami Hurricanes.
Colorado had a bye week last weekend and enters its contest against Miami undefeated at 2-0.
Colorado football coach Gary Barnett said it was good to have an extra week to prepare for Miami. He said that he didn't know how the game would affect Colorado's Big 12 chances, but he said that it was just another game and shouldn't be looked at as a must-win.
"All these games have the same value as a win or a loss," Barnett said.
Barnett said Colorado will have to shut down Miami running back Tyrone Moss in order to have a chance. Moss has compiled 241 yards and three touchdowns in the Hurricanes' first two games of the season.
Colorado will be led by Joel Klatt, senior quarterback. Klatt has 469 yards passing in two games and two touchdowns.
Both Kansas State and Iowa State will return to action this week after having a bye week last weekend.
Back to it
Iowa State's bye came after an emotional 23-3 win over rival Iowa. This week Iowa State will travel to play Army tomorrow night. Iowa State will be the second team in the Big 12 to play at Army; Baylor played
there last week. Dan McCarney, Iowa State football coach, said he knew it would be a tough game for his team.
"We are playing a legendary football coach in Army's Bobby Ross and at a legendary stadium, Michie Stadium, where Army has won over 70 percent of its games," McCarney said.
Kansas State will also return to action after not playing last weekend. Kansas State defeated Marshall its last time out 21-19 on the road.
This week Kansas State will face North Texas at home. Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said the team had a good week of practice and is looking forward to playing North Texas.
"We spent a lot of time last week on fundamentals, ball management, technique and all the things you try to do on an open date." Snyder said.
Kickoff for the Kansas State North Texas game is scheduled for 1:10 p.m.

Royals sweep series
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hocking's two-run pinch single with two out in the ninth inning gave Kansas City its first four-game sweep in six years with 4-3 victory against the Detroit Tigers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Denny Hocking had just 53 at-bats for Kansas City since being called up from the minors on Aug. 6. He came through when the Royals needed him yesterday.
"It's not a comfortable situation to be in," Hocking said. "You've got one chance to go up there and succeed. It is like what I try to tell all the guys that aren't playing that day that go down and are preparing in the (indoor batting) cage from the fifth inning on. I tell 'em, 'Someone in here is going to have a big impact on the game.' Today was my turn," Hocking said.
Tigers reliever Fernando Rodney (1-3) gave up a leadoff single to Matt Stairs in the ninth. Mark Teahen doubled with one out and Angel Berroa was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out.
After John Buck struck out, Hocking — who at 35 is the second-oldest Royals player — batted for Andres Blanco and singled on a 2-2 pitch.
"When you're an older guy on a younger team, you can lead by example or you can lead verbally," Hocking said. "I lead enough here verbally. I had a chance here to lead physically today, it worked out in my favor. I was happy to get the opportunity and I was ready. Today I had a
chance to pick a lot of guys up by doing something on the field. I think they appreciate that."
Kyle Snyder (1-3) pitched 3.2/3 scoreless innings for the victory, giving up three hits and striking out four.
"That at-bat doesn't happen without the effort Kyle Snyder threw out there today," Hocking said.
Snyder picked up his first victory since June 4,2003, against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"I went to my cut fastball quite a bit and it really helped keep the hitters off stride." Snyder said.
Snyder gave up a double to Ivan Rodriguez, the first batter he faced, to put runners on second and third with one out. Craig Monroe hit a high chopper to Teahen at third base, who leaped and threw him out at first base.
The Royals again avoided becoming the first team in the majors with 100 losses this season. Detroit dropped its seventh in a row despite an impressive home run by Chris Shelton that bounced off a sport utility vehicle. The shot was estimated at 449 feet, the longest in Kansas City this year, and gave Detroit a 3-1 lead.
"Teahen's play won the ball game when he left his feet," Snyder said. "If that ball gets over his head or he doesn't field it, we don't get Monroe out and both base runners score and it's a totally different ball game."
"No matter how far you hit it, it is just one home run and nobody's on base, so it is just one run." Shelton said.
Kansas City has won six in
a row at home, its best streak at Kauffman Stadium since it went 11-0 to start the 2003 season. This was the Royals' first four-game sweep since May 1999 at Minnesota, and their first at home since August 1994 against Oakland.
The Tigers went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
"I just look back at the opportunities we had," Tigers manager Alan Trammell said. "We had runners on first and second and nobody out in the first and we didn't score. In the sixth after Shelton's hit the home run, we had runners at second and third with one out and didn't get anybody in. Going back those (lack of) runs hurt us. They got it done and we didn't."
Curtis Granderson led off the Tigers' third with a home run. He has three homers, four doubles and eight RBIs in his past 15 games.
and we run Aaron Guel hit a solo home run in the Royals' third. Emil Brown had a sacrifice fly in the sixth, giving him a team-leading 81 RBIs.
Jason Johnson, who was sent back to the Tigers' team hotel on Tuesday with a sore throat, gave up five hits and two runs in six innings. He failed to improve to 4-0 in five starts against the Royals this season.
Royals lefty Jimmy Gobble, making his fourth start since being moved into the rotation, allowed three runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Shelton's sacrifice fly in the third scored Placido Polanco, who had tripled for one of his three hits.

Schedules CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Recently, the Kansas football team has scheduled as many guarantee games as possible, Keating said. Guarantee games, against schools such as Appalachian State or Jacksonville State, allow the department to play a game in Lawrence without having to play a road game against that team.
for the football-less weekend. Ochoa will be attending a wedding, and Fowler plans to be just like any other student this weekend: watching college football and doing homework.
The schedule for next season includes nonconference home games against Northwestern State and Florida International and an away game against Toledo.
Keating is still searching for one additional nonconference game to fill the football schedules in 2006 and 2007.
The Big 12 Conference football schedule is completed in four-year blocks, Keating said. It takes four years for Kansas to play a home and away game against all six teams in the South division.
The football team completed a home-and-home agreement with Northwestern last season. It will complete an agreement with Toledo in 2007, which required two games in Lawrence and one in Toledo, Ohio.
He said in the next few years, as the program progresses, the team would be able to schedule at least one home-and-home game per year.

Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins said smart scheduling was a key to success in football and basketball.
"Scheduling is one of the most important things to building our program," Perkins said.
Similar to football, the amount paid to a team in basketball is based on the average income from a home game. In basketball, the average is about $50,000, Keating said. The basketball average was similar to what numerous schools across the country pay opponents, he said.
The rare weekend off for the Jayhawks has a few players making plans
Even though Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self leads a well-established program, scheduling games against major and mid-major teams is important to maintaining a nationally recognized program.
pected to challenge the nationally ranked Red Raiders. Last weekend Texas Tech scored 80 points against IAA Sam Houston State.
The team typically has 11 nonconference games each season. Keating said that on average, the team played six guarantee games and four or five home-and-home games per season.
This season the men's basketball team's mid-major opponents include Nevada, the 2005 Western Athletic Conference champion, and Peperdine, the 2003 West Coast Conference runner-up.
The four or five home- and home games are against higher-caliber teams than the guarantee games. The remainder of the schedule is filled with conference games and a preseason tournament.
When scheduling games, Keating said he looked for respected mid-major schools, as well as national championship contenders.
Keating said the major games against teams such as Kentucky or Michigan State were not difficult to schedule because they were typically tied to prime television times on ESPN or CBS.
"We try to play upper teams in the mid-level conferences," Keating said. "There's a difference in playing the No. 1 team instead of the No. 10 team."
The team completes a home- and-home series against Kentucky this season. Kansas still has contractual obligations to play away games against Georgia Tech and Michigan State. Michigan State and Georgia Tech played at Allen Fieldhouse in 2003 and 2005, respectively.
Those high-profile games will bring in paychecks and inspire fans to dream of marque match ups for seasons to come.

Darrell Arthur will join Collins in visiting Kansas during Late Night weekend. Arthur is a 6-foot-9-inch forward from South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas. He is the fourth-ranked power forward in the class of 2006, according to Rivals.com. The scouting report on Arthur says he is athletic for his size, a good inside player and an outstanding rebounder.

Michelle Wie watches her tee shot on the 11th hole during a practice round for the U.S. Women's Open at Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver on June 22. Sources close to Wie say the 16-year-old golf prodigy is poised to turn pro and sign endorsement deals, including one with Nike, that could bring the teenager as much as $10 million. If true, she would become the highest-paid female golfer in the world.
BY DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Everywhere she goes, people can't help but notice Michelle Wie.
As a 13-year-old still wearing a retainer, she was warming up on the practice range for a junior pro-am at the Sony Open in Honolulu. When she pulled out her driver, five PGA Tour players on both sides of her stopped to watch her launch tee shots that approached the 300-yard marker.
"Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and watched her go to her table," said Greg Nared, a Nike business manager who has been tracking Wie the last two years. "That told me a lot."
Last year in Portugal, where Wie received the Laureus World Newcomer of the Year award, she walked into the banquet room filled with celebrities, including Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Placido Domingo.
The 15-year-old from Hawaii
who commands so much attention is on the verge of commanding top money. Wie is about to turn pro, and endorsements estimated to be worth as much as $10 million a year await.
Two sources close to Wie, speaking on condition of anonymity because she is still an amateur, said the announcement will not be made until endorsement deals are signed.
He added that "we are getting close,"but said her decision to turn pro would not be related to Samsung.
"It doesn't have to be associated with a tournament she would play," the father said. "There is no target date we have to meet."
That could be done before the Samsung World Championship, which starts Oct. 15, two days after her 16th birthday. It will be the eighth and final LPGA Tour event Wie plays this year.
"There is nothing to say until everything is completed," her father, B.J. Wie, said yesterday.
When it happens, she will be the highest-paid female golfer in
One deal that is nearing completion is with Nike, which is no surprise. Wie has been playing its irons and golf balls the last two years and often wears the swoosh on her clothing. A source with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal could be worth anywhere from $4 million to $5 million a year.
Annika Sorenstam, the best player in women's golf, makes about $7 million a year in endorsements. No other female golfer is close.
She also is working on a deal with an Asian-based electronics company that could be worth about $3 million a year. Golf World magazine reported another possible endorsement with an airline company.
B. J. We declined to discuss endorsement opportunities, but he noted that his daughter - who made straight As in the spring semester while playing three LPGA Tour events - wants to graduate with her class and still wants to pursue a business degree, preferably at Stanford.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Thursday, Se 22 2005:
Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005:
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
You might need to break tradition this year and become involved in many different activities. Though it might be more comfortable to stay in the same space, by walking down the untrendled path, you'll greet success. Money flows from the end of October on. Many of you will experience a pay raise or promotion. You deserve it! Others will use a new talent. Be verbal; don't hold back. You might simplify your life and spend time with fewer friends, but more time with special ones. You will get what you want but will work hard to get it. If you are single, romance might be difficult. Once someone enters your life, getting rid of this person is a whole other story. If you are attached, work on a common goal, which could involve a trip. GEMINI always has a different view.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Finally, with the Autumnal Equinox, you breathe a sigh of relief. Wait until the afternoon before expressing your opinions, which, for the most part, you have kept to yourself. Others still could be reactive. Tonight: Hang at a favorite spot.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Use the morning for anything you find very important. Others will be more responsive at this time. By the afternoon, work and perhaps an expenditure take a higher priority. Walk your talk, and others will respect you. Tonight: Gather your bills.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
***** In the afternoon, the Moon slides into your sign. Yes, you will be feeling your Wheaties, and why not? Your creativity emerges. Where you plug this energy in is your call. Romance could flourish, if you want it to. Tonight: What you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Family and domestic matters take on an even higher priority in the next few weeks, starting today. You might need to distance yourself or pull back some. Sometimes all you do is run around. Stop. Think. Reflect. Tonight: Into your private world.
★★★ By midday, you feel as if some of the recent weight and burdens might be lifting. Encourage others to join in on a project. Your words seem to work like magic; just express yourself. Use that famous Leo
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Pressure builds for you to do what you have been talking about. Take the first step. Others will be unusually supportive. A financial matter will be resolved to your liking. Know when to say "enough." Tonight: Burn the cake at both ends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
***** The Sun moves into your sign today, lightening up your mood. You hear news from a distance. Don't accept information at face value. It is important to check out facts. Use the computer or make calls. Tonight: As you wish.
★★★ You will need to lie back for a little longer. Besides, without your direction or push, you could be delighted by an associate and her offer. Trust will build if you let this person reveal herself. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGIT TARIMAS (No. 82-366-219)
★★★★ Starting this afternoon, you open up to a more social period in which you meet new people and broaden your horizons. As a result, you can make a dream a reality in the next month. Others seek you out. Tonight: Decide first whom you want to be with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Examine what you want from associates and co-workers. If you are not in a working situation, examine your daily life. What do you need to spice it up or make it more to your liking? You will want to be in the limelight. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
***** Spontaneity works and takes you down a new path, if you are open. In fact, in the next few weeks, you might want to explore your options. Nothing is written in stone. Let your imagination flow. Tonight: Be with the person you have the most fun with.
PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)
★★★ Your concerns revolve around your home, financing and a partnership. Some might be looking at new homes, while others might want to invest in their present abode. Don't hesitate. Go for what you want. Tonight: Hate at home.
Talk show televises sonogram to prove Banks' breasts are real
PEOPLE
NEWYORK -Talk about keeping it real. Tyra Banks underwent a televised sonogram on her new talk show to prove that her breasts aren't fake.
"I'm tired of this rumor. It's something that's followed me forever," the supermodel said Tuesday on "The Tyra Banks Show."
After Banks asked the men in the audience to leave, Garth Fisher from ABC's "Extreme Makeover" performed a touch test and then the sonogram. He concluded: "Tyra Banks has natural breasts; there are no implants."
---
"By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it's not a choice that I made," the 31-year-old model said. "But it's something that a lot of the public knows that I have, and that's so frustrat-
... think that I have, and that's so frustrating for me."
Banks, who models for Victoria's Secret, also displayed how her push-up bra exaggerated her body. But, Banks said she was not totally real.
"I got take hair, y'all. I got fake eyelashes," she said.
the hour-long show was, as Banks declared, "all about breasts!" It also featured lessons on proper bra fitting and an appearance by a slimmed-down Anna Nicole Smith.
Aside from her syndicated daytime talk show, Banks also plays host to "America's Next Top Model."The fifth installment of the UPN reality series premiered last night.

Friend, co-host visits Nebraska to honor Johnny Carson's life
Carson, who grew up in Norfolk, died Jan. 23 of emphysema at age 79. He was the host of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" from 1962 to 1992.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Ed McMahon is taking the road to pay tribute to longtime TV partner Johnny Carson, stopping in the late-night king's home state to reflect on the pair's friendship.
TH
McMahon started working with Carson in 1957 as his announcer on "Who Do You Trust?" The game show ran until 1962.
"Heeeree's Johnnyl" was the booming announcement from McMahon that ushered Carson out to the stage of "The Tonight Show."
McMahon said he was closer to Carson than Carson's brother. They ate dinner together several nights a week and talked about their troubles, dreams and families.
Carson was the acknowledged king of late-night television and McMahon said the job was tough. It had its highs and lows like any job, and Carson took it all in stride, he said.
"Johnny once described our relationship by saying we were as close as two people could be without being married," McMahon said.
"There is no planning. On the night it is really great, it's euphoria and if it is not so great there is always tomorrow night. That was his attitude," said McMahon, who gave a talk Tuesday.
"Everywhere I go people remember the certain moments of the show as the highlight of anything they ever saw in television," he said.

HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Thursday 22 2005
You might need to break tradition this year and become involved in many different activities. Though it might be more comfortable to stay in the same space, by walking down the untrendled path, you'll great success. Money flows from the end of October on. Many of you will experience a pay raise or promotion. You deserve it! Others will use a new talent. Be verbal; don't hold back. You might simplify your life and spend time with fewer friends, but more time with special ones. You will get what you want but will work hard to get it. If you are single, romance might be difficult. Once someone enters your life, getting rid of this person is a whole other story. If you are attached, work on a common goal, which could involve a trip. GEMINI always has a different view.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult charm. Tonight: Try a new jazz spot.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★★★ Finally, with the Autumnal Equinox, you breathe a sigh of relief. Wait until the afternoon before expressing your opinions, which, for the most part, you have kept to yourself. Others still could be reactive. Tonight: Hang at a favorite spot.
★★★ Use the morning for anything you find very important. Others will be more responsive at this time. By the afternoon, work and perhaps an expenditure take a higher priority. Walk your talk, and others will respect you. Tonight: Gather your bills.
GEMNI (May 21-June 20)
***** In the afternoon, the Moon slides into your sign. Yes, you will be feeling your Wheaten, and why not? Your creativity emerges. Where you plug this energy in is your call. Romance could flourish, if you want to it. Tonight: What you want.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Family and domestic matters take on an even higher priority in the next few weeks, starting today. You might need to distance yourself or pull back some. Sometimes all you do is run around. Stop. Think. Reflect. Tonight: Into your private world.
**** By midday, you feel as if some of the recent weight and burdens might be lifting. Encourage others to join in on a project. Your words seem to work like magic; just express yourself. Use that famous Leo
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Pressure builds for you to do what you have been talking about. Take the first step. Others will be unusually supportive. A financial matter will be resolved to your liking. Know when to say "enough." Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ The Sun moves into your sign today, lightening up your mood. You hear news from a distance. Don't accept information at face value. It is important to check out facts. Use the computer or make calls. Tonight: As you wish.
★★★ You will need to lie back for a little longer. Besides, without your direction or push, you could be delighted by an associate and her offer. Trust will build if you let this person reveal herself. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Starting this afternoon, you open up to a more social period in which you meet new people and broaden your horizons. As a result, you can make a dream a reality in the next month. Others seek you out. Tonight: Decide first whom you want to be with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
TH
**** Spontaneity works and takes you down a new path, you are are open. In fact, in the next few weeks, you might want to explore your options. Nothing is written in stone. Let your imagination flow. Tonight: Be with the person you have the most fun with.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Your concerns revolve around your home, financing and a partnership. Some might be looking at new homes, while others might want to invest in their present abode. Don't hesitate. Go for what you want. Tonight: Happy at home.
PEOPLE
Talk show televises sonogram to prove Banks' breasts are real
NEWYORK - Talk about keeping it real. Tyra Banks underwent a televised sonogram on her new talk show to prove that her breasts aren't fake.
her dress before it.
"I'm tired of this rumor. It's something that's followed me forever," the supermodel said Tuesday on "The Tyra Banks Show."
After Banks asked the men in the audience to leave, Garth Fisher from ABC's "Extreme Makeover" performed a touch test and then the sonogram. He concluded: "Tyra Banks has natural breasts; there are no implants."
The hour-long show was, as Banks declared, "all about breasts!" It also featured lessons on proper bra fitting and an appearance by a slimmed-down Anna Nicole Smith.
Banks, who models for Victoria's Secret, also displayed how her push-up bra exaggerated her body. But, Banks said she was not totally real.
are no imprints.
"By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it's not a choice that I made," the 31-year-old model said.
"But it's something that a lot of the public ... think that I have, and that's so frustrating for me."
The Associated Press
"I got fake hair, y'all. I got fake eyelashes." she said.
Aside from her syndicated daytime talk show, Banks also plays host to "America's NextTop Model."The fifth installment of the UPN reality series premiered last night.
Friend, co-host visits Nebraska to honor Johnny Carson's life
Carson, who grew up in Norfolk, died Jan. 23 of emphysema at age 79. He was the host of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" from 1962 to 1992.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Ed McMahon is taking the road to pay tribute to longtime TV partner Johnny Carson, stopping in the late-night king's home state to reflect on the pair's friendship.
"Heeeeeere's Johnny! " was the booming announcement from McMahon that ushered Carson out to the stage of "The Tonight Show."
McMahon started working with Carson in 1957 as his announcer on "Who Do You Trust?" The game show ran until 1962.
McMahon said he was closer to Carson than Carson's brother. They ate dinner together several nights a week and talked about their troubles, dreams and families.
"Johnny once described our relationship by saying we were as close as two people could be without being married," McMahon said.
Carson was the acknowledged king of late-night television and McMahon said the job was tough. It had its highs and lows like any job, and Carson took it all in stride, he said.
"There is no planning. On the night it is really great, it's euphoria and if it is not so great there is always tomorrow night. That was his attitude" said McMahon, who gave a talk Tuesday.
"Everywhere I go people remember the certain moments of the show as the highlight of anything they ever saw in television," he said.

Woodland swinging toward second title
This week the Kansas men's golf team hosted the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Golf and Country Club and won by three strokes over Tulsa.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks in their second tournament was none other than Garv Woodland.
It's vital for the jayhawks that Woodland become that
that Woodland guy the team can always rely on for a round in the 60s, the guy who can replace former KU golfer Kevin Ward.
TIM HALL
THALL@KANSAN.COM
Woodland's improvements on his performance last season indicate he may be on his way to doing this.
*See www.meetmark.com/collegesweeps for details.
Let's go back to last year's Kansas Invitational.
Woodland struggled as he fired a three-round total of 225, nine-over-par.
Flash forward to this week's event.
He placed in a tie for 31st, seventh on the team. Senior Kevin Ward played lights out and won the golf tourna-
"It's vital for the Jayhawks that Woodland become that guy the team can always rely on for a round in the 60s, the guy who can replace former KU golfer Kevin Ward."
Woodland held a two-shot lead after scoring 69 and 66 in his first two rounds.
at the 2005 Kansas Invitational also shows the leaps and bounds he has taken.
He led all other Jayhawks and finished the tournament in third place overall.
His overall score of 209 was 16 shots better than his performance last year.
Woodland's performance Kansas Invita-
Last season he didn't fire a round lower than 68.
He has already done that three times this season — in just
two events.
So far this season he has finished first and third — and that third place finish would have been a second consecutive win had Woodland avoided a final round 74.
His best tournament performance last season came at the Stevinson Invitational, where he tied for 13th.
Woodland's strength gives him an advantage over every other golfer that steps on the tee.
This guy can crank drives out past the 335 marker all day, driving distances that rival the likes of Tiger Woods and John Daly.
Watching him swing the driver is like being at a live PGA event.
And oh yeah, his swing speed is even faster than Tiger's.
Taking over for a player like Kevin Ward will be tough.
Ward won two individual titles last season and is now making money on the Gateway Tour.
But then again, Woodland may be on his way to his second individual title of the season, in week two.

Royals to open season in April against Tigers
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The Kansas City Royals will open next season at home on April 3 against the Detroit Tigers, the club announced yesterday as it released its 2006 schedule.
The schedule also features six games against the Cardinals, May 19 through 21
at Kansas City and June 30 through July 2 at St. Louis.
Another schedule highlight includes the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium on Labor Day for the beginning of a three-game series on Sept. 4. The Royals are also home on July 4 as part of a three-game series against the Minnesota Twins.
Kansas City will play host to NL Central Division teams Pittsburgh and Milwaukee,
June 20 through June 25, in interleague play. The Boston Red Sox will play their only series at Kansas City on Aug. 8 through 10.
The Royals will finish the season with seven road games, with the finale on Oct. 1 at Detroit.
Kansas City, with the worst record in the majors, said it would not raise ticket or parking prices next year.

Editor's note
Surveillance.
I think of those posters with the Uncle Sam (wherever I move he follows me with a finger and his eyes). I think of big cold corporate buildings with cameras in every hallway. I think of convenience store videos with gunmen stealing money from cash registers on the nightly news.
PENNANT
I don't really think of drug tests or internet-site monitoring. But according to Katy Humpert's story on surveillance (pg. 10), 76 percent of companies monitor the Web sites workers visit. Even more, 15 percent admit to listening to employee voicemail messages, even after they've been "deleted." Now those are practices worth considering before accepting a position.
Read on and you'll find Jayplay's got you covered on all the concert and event news for the week. The calendar's packed and Jayplay writer, Dave Ruigh's got the latest on this fall's can't-miss concerts. With school in full swing and so many concerts and events brewing, the only problem might be trying to fit it all in your planner.

QA AND
Among his influences, singer/songwriter Justin Lamoureux lists beards, not showering for days, camping in bear country and open windows. His one-man band Midwest Dilemma is a mix of indie, folk, country, rock and alternative that has been compared to Counting Crowns, Bright Eyes and Jeff Buckley. Lamoureux says that he finds inspiration for songs in everything from the weather and relationships to geography and personal experiences. Lamoureux formed Midwest Dilemma in 2002 and has since toured throughout the country, playing with artists such as Jesse Malin, Kathleen Edwards, Kid Dakota and country legend, Malcolm Holcombe. Originally from Sioux City, Iowa, Lamoureux talks about how he got started, his love of all types of music and
Midwest Dilemma
why he loves what he does.
Q. If you had to say your band sounded like anyone, who would it be?
A. Counting Crows, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and I have been getting Bright Eyes a lot lately.I just think that's because I am from Omaha and people relate the two.I have heard people say Iron and Wine,Jeff Buckley and Howie Day — not sure how people get their comparisons.I was told once that I have a Midwest sound but I still don't know what that means or what the Midwest sound is, but that's all right with me.
Q. Why did you choose this type of music?
A. I grew up listening to artists and bands such as Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Cat Stevens and lots of Southern Rock. My dad had an amazing selection of records growing up. Early on, I seemed to veer off the path of the heartfelt-folksy type of music and more towards heavier rock and punk while in middle school. I had a heavy metal band back then, The Broken Flower Pots On Acid. We played the eighth grade talent show and pretty much rocked like the 15-year-olds that we were. In high school, I was still into punk rock but also got into hair metal and some hard-core rap. I loved power ballads. However, I really liked the underground punk music. Sioux City had a great underground music community that was always fed by angry
teens and the need for lots of make up and fishnets. When I moved to Omaha and started working for a local music store, I was turned on to jazz. Now being a guitar player, this was like blues with more rules that you can break. I fell in love and it was all jazz all the time. Now I really prefer the Alt-Country thing, which back in the '70s was Southern Rock or Americana. I have found a blend of the Indie sound and the old folksy stuff my dad listened to.
Q. Where did the name of your band come from?
A. It was something that best fit my situation of living in the Midwest. I feel alone a lot here, but being alone can be inspiring. I realized how much I take for granted living among all the cornfields and farmland; it's actually pretty neat if you have never seen it before. This is where my heart is, even though sometime I want to go far away.
Q. What is one thing your fans don't know about you (as a band)?
A. I really don't like using a pic while playing guitar.
Q. What is something random, people in general, don't know about you?
A. I don't have any official cavities and I still have some baby teeth.
Q. What is one thing you would want a potential fan to know about you?
venue
A. I sing with just about everything I've got, sometimes vocally and sometimes lyrically. I don't make up my songs; these are all real bits from my life or experiences, or even situations about friends, family and the weather.
Q. What is the worst thing that has happened to you during a show?
A. The most obvious would be breaking a string. That is the worst. But when you play outside you have bugs flying and the weather. It started pouring on me as I was playing my last song of a two-hour set in Wichita at The Brickyard.
Q. What is the most random place you have ever played?
A. In San Francisco. I played at a place called The Brainwash Laundromat & Cafe. They literally did my laundry for me while I played for the people in the cafe. I really want to play there again.
Q. What is your favorite part of playing live?
A. I really enjoy giving a part of my life and experience to others.I like the feeling of putting myself out there to new people and I like the thrill of not knowing if people are going to like you or not.Either way,it's still a rush.

$101 — it was a server's dream.
The gentleman asked Ryan Ludwig and his fellow bartender what the best tip they had ever received was and, upon hearing $100, decided to raise it. Years later, Ludwig still smiles at the memory.
Ludwig also has his worst tip branded in his memory: 30 cents on a $29 tab. Servers have good memories - they do, after all, have to remember everyone's order. A tip isn't an anonymous donation seized and forgotten - it's the foundation upon which a customer's reputation is built. Good tippers are remembered and taken care of. Bad tippers are remembered, too.
Good or bad, tipping is a $5 billion-a-year practice, according to an article on www.counterpunch.org. Americans get served a lot - the National Restaurant Association found that one in five American meals are prepared in a commercial setting.
Tips are a part of life, especially in a college town, where serving jobs are often the only ones that provide the ready cash and flexible schedule students need. Statistics from www.collegegrad.
com reveal that about 2.1 million Americans are servers.
The standard tip, according to etiquette Web sites like www.tipping.org is 15 to 20 percent. But the simple numbers can be deceptive. A tip means a lot more than just a percentage of a total bill.
The sweat and blood joe customer doesn't see
What your tip says
The primary work of servers is obvious: take orders, refill drinks and bring hot food. But a lot more goes on behind those kitchen doors. In a dynamic restaurant setting, servers have a plethora of duties. Servers Danielle Frederick, Topeka junior, of Lake Bar and Grill, and Emily Hensley, Wichita senior, of Addis Ababa, list some of their duties: sweeping, refilling condiments, rolling silverware, running other servers' food, pouring drinks when bartender's are busy, hosting, bussing tables, taking out trash, and breaking down stations in the kitchen. Other restaurants require servers to wash linens or make salads. A good server performs the whole gamut of restaurant duties - for $2.13 an hour.
+ 100 percent: "Papa just won the lottery!"
50 to 100 percent: "I am a server, I know what it's like." Or "I am wasted."
35 to 49 percent: "You did an amazing job. I was very impressed with your service. Oh, and I'm a server." Or "I am wasted."
25 to 35 percent: "Great service. I'll be sure to ask for you when I come back."
12. 5 percent: "I actually took the time to calculate one-eighth of my bill and give it back to you. I am old/anal/a jerk and I think one-eighth is a nice, round number." Or "You suck."
20 percent: "Good job."
17 percent: "Good job. But I am too cheap to actually make that leap to 20 percent."
10 percent: "I hate you and I wish I would have gone to KFC."
15 percent: "Thanks. Loser."
Less than 10 percent: "I hate your mother and I wish you were dead."
No tip: "I am an appallingly cheap jerk who hasn't a shred of human compassion or understanding." Or "I am such a worthless, rude moron I forgot to bring enough money." Or (acceptable) "My server suggested I get the 'low-fat' dressing, dumped my Dr Pepper on me when I asked for ketchup, and then held me in a headlock and stole my wallet." Or "I am wasted."

Yep, $2.13 an hour
What countless customers don't realize is that the federal minimum hourly wage for servers is $2.13, 41 percent of the federally mandated $5.15 minimum wage, according to the National Restaurant Association. Those two bucks an hour are then taxed, leaving servers often with a $0 paycheck.They depend on their tips to survive. "People don't realize," says Amber Tice, Perry senior and Molly McGee's server, "It's how we pay for bills, rent, education."
Food for thought
And tips must be shared too. Frederick has to tip out bartenders, cooks, hosts, and buskers. Regardless of how much she makes.
A server can get very busy quickly. A typical, full five-table section can mean 20 or more guests, all needing food, drinks, and sides of ranch dressing. A 20-to-one ratio can be hard to manage. Ludwig says customers should understand that servers do the best they can which is exactly what the customer would do in the same situation.
The server is the middleman, says Tice from Molly McGee's. She says servers must deal with the bartender, owner, manager, kitchen staff, and customers, all of which have different priorities. For example, a customer gets frustrated when he has to wait to be seated while empty tables stand by. But
All servers agree, the best tippers are those who have done serving work themselves.
"I tip well because I know what it's like to make two bucks an hour," Hensley says.
Servers tipping servers
In an informal poll of Lawrence servers, five out of five say that they tip at least 20 percent, and often more. Hensley says there's an "unspoken rule" that servers tip well. She tips between 25 and 30 percent. While that may not be feasible for every one, better to err on the side of generosity.
that person doesn't see that the kitchen is swamped, the servers are dealing with a frozen computer, and the owner is trying to find a plumber who can fix a dishwasher at eight on a Friday night. Some customers automatically blame servers for things like delayed seating or food. But Flaigle says it's wrong to assume it's the server's fault, as anything - from kitchen efficiency to a host's pacing - can affect every aspect of a meal.
Hensley says servers know when they make a mistake, and usually understand if a lousy tip ensues. But they hope for compassion: If the guests are servers, they usually get it.

So remember the next time you go out to eat, take a look around, and remember, your tip has to go a long way. Your server's probably earned it in more ways than you can tell.

Kate Jackson Ten, Eldridge Hotel
Kate Jackson, Nickerson senior, has been serving at Ten, 701 Massachusetts St., since the Eldridge Hotel re-opened last spring. While she loves the food and customers, the best part of working Ten, according to Jackson, is the eye candy. "We definitely have the hottest restaurant staff in town," she says. "I'm not joking."
- Laura Snyder
Favorite menu item: Jackson praises the macaroni and cheese, and especially likes the fillet Oscar-style, which is served with crabmeat, grilled shrimp, asparagus and hollandaise sauce
Downside of serving: When her friends and co-workers come in to dine, Jackson wishes she could socialize instead of working.
Eat here
Future plans: Jackson is working on bachelor's degrees in spanish and psychology at KU. She hopes to eventually get a Ph.D in clinical psychology and work with children.

A tail of Jayhawks and the dogs who love them.
By Kathryn Anderson, Jayplay writer
Lucy Bitler entered college life at the tender age of five months. Her gorgeous blonde hair and stunning youthful features attract the attention of many. Yet, Lucy keeps her nose to the ground, focused on class, bar hopping and more often than not, chasing tail. Despite her delicate frame, a meager 2 lbs, Lucy manages to be the big dog on campus. She keeps her owner, Jessica Bitler, an Emporia sophomore, busy and undoubtedly fulfilled.
Bitler goes about her day with Lucy stowed comfortably in a puppy tote, while unsuspecting bar owners and professors are none the wiser. According to Bitler, Lucy rarely makes a sound — she's too busy catching up on beauty sleep to bother talking. A college-educated, well-rested, bar-going pup? Take that, Tinkerbell.
Bitler's not the only one finding that college isn't college without a furry, tail-wagging friend. With plenty of outlets for student dog-lovers and their companions, the University of Kansas is a doggie utopia.
A short drive west to the Clinton Lake Dam could leave many park enthusiasts asking, "Who let the dogs out?" Let's put an end to the curiosity. In 2001, the Lawrence parks and recreation department did, indeed, let the dogs out. Located at 133 East 902 Road, Mutt Run is a puppy playground. There, dogs and their masters have a playtime haven where canines romp and leashes are out of the question. Imagine 20-sorne hyper dogs running amuck on 30 acres of pristine land. Think kindergarten
recess, but more barking.
Rodger Steinbrock, marketing coordinator for parks and recreation, says the leashless park addressed a quality of life issue. Realizing that dogs are part of the community too, city officials established Mutt Run for the benefit of all dog kind. And the pilgrimage has been successful. Lawrencian dogs and masters swarm to the park to run and "talk dog" with fellow patrons. If you're really lucky, you can hear a frustrated owner scold their dogs using their full name. "Margaret Elizabeth Jones, put that Beagle down this instant!" for example. The scene is reminiscent of a playground. One proud parent watches her English Bulldog skillfully horde tennis balls, another teaches a reluctant
terrier to swim in the nearby creek, while a Dachshund wrestles a Scottie by the drinking fountain.
The park is open dawn 'til dusk all week. Go after class and walk the perimeter of the 30-acre park, or let your dog christen the newest playground at Riverfront
Park, near Second Street and Highway 24. Steinbrock says dog parks are much better than the bars. The guys are probably cuter too.

If you're serious about finding your new best friend, however, the Lawrence Humane Society sets the pace for dog ownership in town. Since almost 20 percent of owned dogs are adopted from shelters, according to a Humane Society statistics handout, students often head there when searching for a companion. The shelter, located at 1805 East $19^{th}$ Street, is the largest in the state. Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, sees flocks of KU students peruse the kennel aisles. She agrees that there's nothing like coming home after a grueling day to your happily awaiting pooch.

If dog ownership turns out to be more than your busy drinking schedule can allow, consider these options. The Lawrence Humane Society hosts about 300 volunteers and you can be one of them. Volunteers have a one-on-one relationship with the shelter animals. The most popular duty is dog walking. If not, head to Mutt Run dog less and play with everyone else's pooch.

Before looking to adopt, Grinstead stresses that pet ownership for college students can be tricky, and a decision should be made carefully. Lawrence Humane Society staffers only adopt dogs to serious applicants who have time to care for a dog. Consequently, only 50 percent of KU applicants are approved for adoption, estimates Grinstead. Some ambitious Jayhawks forget that life still goes on after an adoption. They must schedule class and a social life around the needs of the new furry friend.

stains on your carpet.
If you want a pup but your daddy didn't buy you your own house, apartment shop carefully. Not all landlords like dogs as much as you do. Apartments that allow dogs typically have weight limit. Brandon Rose, a Fort Gibson, Okla. sophomore lucked out at Tuckaway apartments. The 50 pound limit set by his landlord was exceeded by his neighbor, who owned a 150-pound Great Dane. That made it easy for Brandon to slip through the cracks with his 2-year-old boxer, Roxie.
Rose works hard to find a balance between school, a serving job and dog time. But he found his pace and the going is easy. Rose frequents the dog park, but prefers
other parts of Clinton Park. Once or twice a week, he drives Roxie and a few friends to Clinton park to play Frisbee and drink beer.
Roxie and Rose keep each other content. They have to. "If she's not happy, she'll shit all over the place," said Rose.
Ah,puppy love.

Portable water filter straw
If you ever find yourself stranded on a deserted island or lost in the wilderness, you'll need one of these puppies. This lightweight straw uses a series of filters and chambers to turn undrinkable, disease ridden water into potable goodness. Safteycentral.com sells one of these straws for $21. Even cooler, a similar product is being designed for people living in third-world countries with no access to safe drinking water.

I'LL BE WATCHING YOU

The growing need of surveillance in the workplace
By Katy Humpert, Jayplay writer
Imagine working at a job where your employer constantly monitors you. An electronic monitor records the time you arrive and leave. Surveillance cameras watch everywhere you go in the building. Every key stroke you type on the computer is stored The Web sites you visit, the emails you write, everything you do is saved for possible future review. Your boss can listen to your phone conversations at any point. On top of that, you are subjected to random drugs tests where you have to submit bodily fluids to your employer, and, if you object to any of these practices you could be fired.
Stop imagining
For many KU students and millions of employees nationwide, surveillance in the workplace is an everyday reality. New technologies allow companies to have more control than ever over their employees through the monitoring of their daily activities. These practices are not only legal, but commonplace. While employers can lawfully monitor employees, experts say that does not necessarily make it right.
Yes, you are being watched
If you work in an office setting, chances are your boss is somehow watching what you are doing on the computer.
The 2005 Electronic Monitoring and Surveillance Survey from the American Management Association and The e-Policy Institute says 76 percent of compa
nies monitor the Web sites workers visit. Another 50 percent store and review computer files on workers' computers while even more, 55 percent, retain and review employees' e-mail messages. Take into account that 67 percent of companies already use software to block inappropriate Web sites and it's easy to see that the corporations of America aren't taking any chances when letting their staff use the Internet. Lincoln Lewis, Lawrence senior, interned at an architecture firm in Rhode Island and says his superiors kept vigilance over what he and his co-workers did on the Internet. Not only were the sites he visited monitored with software, but his employers physically watched over his shoulder while he spent time online.
The phone, another way for workers to potentially waste time, presents another medium for monitoring. The same survey says 51 percent of employers, up from 9 percent in 2001, track the amount of time spent on the phone and the numbers dialed by employees. According to the survey, 19 percent of organizations record and review their workers' telephone conversations. Voicemaills are also fair ground for monitoring. In fact, 15 percent of companies admit to listening to employee voicemail messages, including those that have been deleted.
Joe Green, Olathe senior, works as an intern at Capitol One Home Loans and says at any time his phone conversations with customers can be monitored, but that his employer lets employees know
when they are being recorded.
Even employees at Target feel the watchful eye of their superiors. Shanna Thomas, Winfield junior, says video cameras follow her and her co-workers everywhere they go in the store, from the loading docks to the parking lots. The bathrooms are the only locations inmute to video surveillance. She says not only are there a plethora of cameras, but they also have the ability to zoom in close enough to see what employees are writing in their check books. Overall, 51 percent of companies use video monitoring to counter theft and violence among employees, according to the survey.
Cover your ass
Nancy Flynn, executive director of the e-Policy Institute, says the number one reason for monitoring employees is legal liability. She says e-mails and Internet history can become valuable evidence in litigations involving sexual harassment, discrimination and any other workplace lawsuit, adding that 20 percent of employers have had employee e-mail subpoenaed as part of a lawsuit or investigation. She also says several companies have actually gone to court because of an employee e-mail.
Bill Staples, chair of the sociology department at the University of Kansas, says employers also say they monitor employees to stop them from wasting time and company resources. This way, a manager will have physical proof that employees spend more

time on the phone or downloading Friends re-runs than actually working before firing them.
Staples, who is also the author of Everyday Surveillance, says the validity of these concerns is questionable. He says, for example, that a company claiming to monitor employees "to stop them from wasting resources," while at the same time providing million-dollar severance pay for recently fired executives, may have other motives.
Staples says many employers use surveillance as a way to control employees. He says the knowledge that you are being watched by your boss and the fear of getting in trouble really keeps you in line."The more you watch people, the more likely it is that they will be submissive and not confront management," Staples says.
Because an employer owns the computer and pays for the Internet, employees should expect that they will be monitored. Legally, Flynn says an employee has no expectation of privacy when it comes to the company's computer system.
What can they do?
You know your boss can keep track of what you are doing, but what are the consequences? Well, let's just say dilly-dallying while the boss is out of the room is a thing of the past. Flynn says firing employees solely based on information gathered through surveillance is fairly common.
Flynn says 25 percent of companies have fired workers for misusing the Internet and another 26 percent have terminated employees for abusing e-mail privileges. That means no more spending the day writing e-mails to your sister complaining about how boring your job is. Moreover, Flynn asserts that employees are fired on a regular basis for posting negative comments on their personal blogs about anything from their superiors to their companies' products.
Recently, workers fired for blogging have set a blaze to news headlines. This list includes Jessica Cutler, a staff assistant on Capitol Hill, who, in 2004, was fired after only two weeks of blogging about her sexual exploits with a few high-up government staffers. Nadine Haobsh was fired from Ladies Home Journal this summer after blogging about the inner-workings of her office.
Outraging or understandable?
Lauren Airey, former KU student from Lenexa, just began working at a small lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. While her organization has no policy on monitoring employees, she says it is justified in monitoring company computers. She says, because her employers own the equipment and pay for the broadband,
they have every right to watch what she does online, just like a parent can track what his child does online.
Lewis, who worked at a Rhode Island architecture firm, says his superiors once reprimanded one of his co-workers for wasting time. He says they knew how much time he was spending online and which sites he was visiting. None of which were job-related. Lewis says he was happy the surveillance caught his fellow employee, mostly because he didn't want to have to do more work to make up for someone else's lack of effort.
"I think I should be able to do my job and be trusted to do my job without having people worry about monitoring me."
Monitoring phone conversations takes surveillance one step further into an employee's comfort zone. Green, from Capitol One Home Loans, says that although he has yet to be monitored while on the phone, the idea of his boss listening to his conversation rubs him the wrong way. He says that kind of monitoring makes him feel as though he isn't trusted. "I think I should be able to do my job and be trusted to do my job without having people worry about monitoring me", he says.
He isn't alone. More than 80 percent of the public believes employers have no right to monitor phone calls at work, according to The Naked Employee, a book on surveillance by Frederick S. Lane. In this day of ever-changing technology, however, employers continually find new ways to literally spy on employees.
Gillium also says drug testing is often referred to in offices as "comically useless." He says if you are using drugs and coming to work high, then the effect on your job performance should be obvious to those around you. On the other hand, he says, if you are one of the millions of Americans who smokes pot occasionally on the weekends and doesn't let it affect your work, then your habits really are none of your employers' business.
In his book, Lane writes that nearly all Fortune 500 companies conduct drug tests on employees before they are hired, as well as randomly throughout their employment. Staples says drug testing is a much more sensitive area. He says many employees who have no problem with computer surveillance have severe reservations about providing urine samples. Once the monitoring becomes physical, he says, it turns into a different issue.
John Gilliam, author of Overseers of the Poor: Surveillance, Resistance and the Limits of Privacy, says the most common way employers test for drugs is through a urine sample. He says usually someone stands outside of the bathroom stall and listens for the sound of normal urination and, in some cases, an employee is forced to urinate in direct view of the testing official.
-Joe Green, Olathe senior
---
Genetic testing for diseases through an employee's urine is also practiced in some organizations.
Lane writes about a recent case where the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad was sued for conducting secret genetic tests on workers from blood collected for drug tests. This company utilized the tests to cut down on worker compensation claims for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, taking surveillance one step closer to the world of "Big Brother."
The big picture
Working at a job where your boss monitors you can have negative effects on your job performance and your sanity. Emily Smith and David Lyon of The Surveillance Project at Queen's University in Canada say surveillance at work demonstrates a lack of trust by employers. They say research has shown that intensive monitoring creates a "highly stressful and dehumanizing environment for workers" which can harm a worker's health.
Staples says the forms of surveillance used by corporations also create an aura of intimidation. In an age where fewer and fewer employees have union representation, he says surveillance is just one more instrument of power that employers hold over workers. The decrease of union presence means many employees don't object to the surveillance because no one will stand up for them if they do. Most workers don't even realize they have the right to object, he says.
Students who've worked in these situations say the reason they don't mind surveillance in the workplace is because they aren't doing anything wrong. Giliom says the issue of surveillance is much more complex than that. When different kinds of surveillance are introduced, they only slice out a small deviant behavior that the majority of society isn't guilty of, such as the cameras that catch people who run yellow lights or drug tests that catch potheads. But, he says, once you begin putting these small pieces of surveillance together, a surveillance society emerges.
"Do you want to look up in 15 years to find that any part of our privacy and autonomy is gone?" Gillium asks.
Ultimately, Smith and Lyon say employees should decide where the limits of privacy are in the workplace and convey that message to their employers.
Whether you have experience with electronic monitoring in the workplace or not, employee surveillance will likely be as common as locks on the doors in whatever occupation you pursue. The best you can do is try to understand how your boss monitors you and not be afraid to voice your opinion.

Slang has become an official part of language and it's here to stay

Illustration by Scott Kaseman
By Meghan Miller, Jayplay writer
What up dawg? You wanna kick it later? Ah yes, the common speech of kids heard on every high school and college campus. If you stop to listen to almost any conversation, I guarentee that slang will be mixed in somewhere. Have you ever stopped to listen to some of the popular songs out there? Take Snoop Dogg.
We got a world premiere right here, now get lost/ So don't change the dizzle, turn it up a little/ I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles/ Waiting on the Pizzie, the Dizzie and the Shizzie/G's to the bizzack, now ladies here we gizzo.
What the hell does that mean? Even if you did find out what it meant, there would be at least five other people with different translations.
The foundation of slang
It probably doesn't matter if Snoop is making any sense, though, because we will still listen to his music and buy his CDs.
Slang has been around for a long time. Edward M. Meilillo, J.D. and author of American Slang: Cultural Language Guide to Living in the USA says that slang was originally a style of informal language.
It began as a secret language used so other people wouldn't understand what was being said. It was historically
associated with the subclasses of our culture, but, as slang has evolved, it has become more commonplace in almost every walk of life.
Pretty much every societal group has its own slang that's distinctive to the way its people communicate with each other.
The slang we use comes from a miriad of places. Author of the American Slang Dictionary, Richard A. Spears, Ph.D, says that the expressions we use come from places like movies, song
that there is no standardized test that will determine what slang is and what it isn't.
Break it down...
There is no way to predict how slang
Props -- respect, recognition
lyrics, books, newspapers and everyday conversations. Spears also says
Ridonkulis — a blending of ridiculous and donkey. Usually conveys excitement or silliness. "That was freaking redonkulis!"
Beer Thirty - time to open a cold one
Badookadunk — a nice rear end
Union Fiver — five minute break, usually to catch a smoke
G'd Up — looking like a pimp
Fo Shizzle - for sure
Skeelo - girl
Git To Steppin' — leave
Heezle - slut
o predict how slang will ebb and flow, we only know that it will exist.
Slang on the hill Joe Mortensen, Oakland freshman, and Paul Como, Dana Point, Calif., junior, say that slang is a major part of their conversational lives. They make up words all the time as a way to have fun and to express themselves. One phrase they use is "cup-caking" or "bubble bathing," which means spending too much time with a
girl and not getting any action, respectively. Neither of them care if they use
their slang in front of other people because most likely, no one will understand them anyway.
But, as far as professors are concerned, Edgerton says they just have to deal with it. In some cases, though, the slang Edgerton uses takes the place of a possibly offensive word. He says "shmu" is one of his favorites, used instead of shit.
Slangin' it foreva
Chase Edgerton, Barrington, III, senior, sometimes worries about slipping up or saying something offensive in front of parents and grandparents.
Slang is prominent in our society, no matter where we look. Almost every person has some word they use that would be considered slang. What started out as a way to put common English into code for the subclasses has transformed into jargon that is used every day. As time goes on, slang will continue to evolve to the needs of what people have to say. It doesn't matter whether you're talking to Snoop Dogg or to your professor, slang will make its way into the conversation.

venue
little town of rock 'n' roll
Lawrence may be small, but it's chock full of spots where the rock rarely stops
By Dave Ruigh, Jayplay writer
You've had your socks rocked off in most of them (and probably thrown up in all of them), but how much do you know about Lawrence's institutes of higher rocking? From hole-in-the-wall dives to expansive theatres, Massachusetts Street is lined with more rock stops than sandwich shops, a per capita ratio equaled by few cities, large or small.
"There are a lot of venues for a small town," says Richard Gintowt, a contributing author for Schools that Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide and front man for the Lawrence-based band, OK Jones. "There's too many; it's not rational. But it works."
From smallest to largest, here's a rundown of the top five places to go, as well as a few shows you can't afford to miss this fall.
The Replay Lounge 946 Massachusetts St.
Opened in 1993, The Replay is Lawrence's punk rock stronghold. Originally a burger and pinball joint, the bar only started to book shows after a number of other venues closed. The burgers are gone now, but the pinball machines continue to draw people in seven nights a week. The bar's name itself is an arcane pinball reference to winning a free game.
As one of Lawrence's smallest venues, The Replay's capacity of 240 can be deceptive. Much of it lies outside in the heated patio/beer garden, a defiant middle finger aimed at the city's smoking ban. The stage inside, which has
hosted mega-huge bands like Pavement and The White Stripes, exists only nominally, and is little more than a slightly elevated platform. Coupled with the bar's tiny floor, it makes for a sweaty blend of rock and community fellowship.
"It's small, it's in your face, it's live, it's loud rock 'n' roll," says Jenny Osborne, manager of both the Replay and the Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall — the brother-sister bars have a common owner.
The Replay has live shows eight to 10 times a month. Cover is always two dollars and goes directly to the bands.

Jackpot Saloon and Music Hall 943 Massachusetts St.
Though it opened last spring, the Jackpot has already established itself as the place to see bands about to hit it big. Slightly bigger than The Replay, the Jackpot is flexible enough to accommodate indie-rock heavyweights like The Decemberists and Arcade Fire, as well as host local shows like KHJK's annual Farmer's Ball, a battle of the best bands Lawrence has to offer.
In accordance with the club's nostalgic, old-western name, a bleached longhorn skull watches patrons from above the Jackpot's bar as the whiskey flows freely, seven nights a week.
Embracing diversity, the Jackpot offers more than just music and booze. The club curates the occasional artist or fashion show and a plan for a weekly movie night is in the works. A Gong Show-style karaoke night is a favorite of regulars and goes down every Monday at 10 p.m., barring a scheduled show.

The Bottleneck
If you like music at all, the odds are high that you've been to the B-Neck. A former roller skating rink, the club offers the most diverse blend of music in Lawrence, including indierock, folk and hip-hop. Photos of some of the more famous bands that have graced The Bottleneck stage (Radiohead and Sublime to name a few) blanket the walls.
"Every band who makes it has played here," says former employee Caleb Skulskie.The photos, along with the innumerable band stickers that line the bar, are "crusty rock memorabilia" and give The Bottleneck "a look that can't be made in a day,"says Chris Miller,the club's doorman/maintenance guy/workhorse.

"It's kind of a shithole," concedes bartender Sara Waelke. "But it's about the music."

GRANADA
Granada Theater 1020 Massachusetts St.
With its monstrous marquee, Granada is the venue in Lawrence least likely to win a game of hide-and-go-seek. According to the theater's Web site, The Granada was originally built in 1928 for vaudeville shows and did not become the club we all know and love until 1993.
As the Lawrence venue most likely to book acts that some of you may have actually heard of, big name bands like Weezer and The Hives have taken to the Granada stage at times of relative fame. In addition to the heavy concert schedule, Granada also hosts Neon, a dance party every Thursday night where patrons pretend the 80s were cooler than they probably actually were.

Liberty Hall 644 Massachusetts St.
Liberty Hall's got it and then some. Since it was first built in the 1870s, Liberty Hall has re-invented itself more than Madonna and has had more names than Diddy. Originally used as the Lawrence town meeting center, the hall was visited by none other than Irish writer and itinerant hooligan, Oscar Wilde, near the end of the century.
After burning down in the early 1900s, a new building was erected on the site and, for the next 60 years was used for an odd variety of purposes - vaudeville theatre and Hallmark card storage among them.
First used for music in 1965 when it became the Red Dog Inn, the building would spend the next 20 years changing names and, conversely, booking disparate bands. After spending time as both a blues club, hosting Hound Dog Taylor, and a punk club, hosting damn near every important punk band you can think of, the building closed for renovation and re-opened in 1986, and became known as Liberty Hall once again.
Used mainly for movies these days.

Bitch moan
With Brian Bratichak and Jessica Crowder Please send your questions to bitch@kansan.com
?
Everytime I have sex, I have to pee right afterwards. It's like clockwork. I have to get up within 30 seconds of coming. What is the deal with this? Is this normal?
Randy, Junior
Brian: Your body, whether you want it to or not, basically does what it wants to a lot of the time. Sometimes, the things that happen can be changed and sometimes nothing can be done at all. Do an experiment to check this theory: go to the bathroom before you do anything with a girl. If there is nothing for you to pee out, it makes it harder for you to pee after coming. If that does nothing, consider making the best of the situation. Before you go out, listen to an R. Kelly CD for inspiration. He might give you some good ideas for the evening.
Jessica: As long as you don't feel any burning sensation, peeing post-sex is actually beneficial for preventing urinary tract infections, so pee all you want! Many people feel the urge to pee after sex. To avoid that urge, pee before sex. If your urge is particularly strong, you may have a UTI, in which case, see your doctor and drink plenty of cranberry juice.
?
I've been talking with this girl and she's been pretty open about the idea of us kissing, but she wants me to initiate. The problem is she has a boyfriend of 4 years who I've met. He's a real loser, and I don't understand why they're still together. I can tell she's unhappy. Should I pursue something or what? - Garrett, Sophomore
Jessica: So Garrett, since you can tell she's so unhappy, can you also tell me what color underwear I'm wearing right now? ... Didn't think so. Look, unless she kisses you first, you have no right to encroach upon the dork's territory. Even if she kisses you or even if she's discussing the possibility of kissing you, you should politely decline. What if things did happen for you two? What basis would she have to trust you when you essentially cheated with her? Be the better man if you like her so much. I'm guessing from her discontentment that after four years she feels obligated to stay with him, which is typical of couples who've been together a long time. The past is the only adhesive keeping that relationship together. Unfortunately, for you, the only two people who should be responsible for a breakup are Miss Kissy Face or Geektoid.
Brian: If you like the girl, then you need to let her control her own life. By trying to kiss her, you could be setting yourself up to fail in any possible relationship with her. She will always remember that you were devious enough to kiss her while she was in a relationship with someone, and will worry that you'll do it to her if the right girl comes. Don't let this girl jerk your chain around. Tell her if she wants anything to happen with you two, then she needs to break up with her pocket protector-wearing boyfriend. If she won't, then she never was planning on choosing you over him. If he really is as big of a loser as you allege, then she'll see how wonderful you are and ditch him.
?
This girl and I have been sleeping together since school started and the sex has been great. The problem is things are very awkward right after sex and one of us always ends up leaving within five minutes. Is there anything I can do to ease the situation? Ted, Freshman
Jessica: Things are going to be as awkward as you allow them to be. Whenever you decide to engage in a buddy-ship without attachment, you encounter the problem of not having an emotional bond formed that relationships have. Sure you have electric physical chemistry, but where there would ordinarily be comfortable conversation and cuddling, you've got her sprinting for the door.
Crack a joke. Give a compliment. Cuddle.Make her as comfortable as possible while keeping your intentions clear.
Brian: Ted, you're a freshman. You gotta do one of two things: either get out and explore the world and hook up with as many girls as possible, or get into a relationship with this girl and make things work. It seems as though something is missing to make this relationship work. By just sleeping with her you are limiting yourself to one girl with whom you are getting limited experience in a relationship. Somewhere out there, a girl is in bed waiting for you to have sex with her and then have an enjoyable, relaxing time with her afterwards. Go forth, my pupil, and find this mystery girl. And remember, go to her bearing gifts. It's the quickest way into a girl's heart... and pants.
How we met
Couple: Ben & Kayla
JONATHAN KING AND MICHAEL RUSSELL
They say that you never really know the people closest to you. For these two, it's true. Ben Katz and Kayla Dudley, Topeka juniors, first met each other on graduation night of their senior year in high school. It was on a blind date, set up by a mutual friend. Turns out they had had the same physics class but never knew each other. That night they went to a carnival for a couple of hours. Ben says he had carnival workers heckling him the entire night to win his date a prize. Sadly, he didn't win any thing.
But he did win her over: the two have been together for more than two years.

The Aristocrats
86 minutes, Not Rated, Liberty Hall
☆☆☆
The Aristocrats, in all its twisted and
augusting glory, is really about a bad joke. A bad joke that comics seem to love for no apparent reason, except it gives them unlimited opportunity to try and gross each other out.
The basic outline of the joke is this: A man walks into a talent agency and says to the agent, "I've got a great family act for the stage."
MUSICAL INVESTIGATION, VOLUME AND WEEK
MORE OF THE PERIOD MADE ON LIVERY LIST
THE ARTISTS' CARES
The agent says "Well, tell me about your act." The man then launches into a description of the most utterly foul act you can imagine involving his wife, kids and usually the family dog.
The talent agent says "That's quite an act, what do you call yourselves?"
The man answers, "The Aristocrats!"
The only part that makes this joke funny is who tells it and what revolting details they add to the middle — thus,
the beauty of The Aristocrats. Directed
by Paul Provenza and produced by Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame, the film features interviews of more than 100 comics (from Robin Williams to my favorite, Bob Saget) who tell the joke or embellish on its importance. It is, as the creators say, like a jazz rift, as each comedian takes on somebody else's tune and makes it their own.
However funny this film is - and it really is - the film suffers from a wayto-long malady that seems to plague most films these days.
I was tired and exhausted at the end. But I was laughing. So even though the film leaves you feeling worn out and disgusted, The Aristocrats will make you laugh.

An Unfinished Life
1 hr 50 min , PG 13, Southwind Theatre
★★★
Director Lasse Hallstrom's film, An Unfinished Life, quietly illustrates
heavy themes like premature death, shattered lives and fate. The film involves three main characters, all involved in emotionally and physically paralyzing life moments. Together, Einar (Robert Redford), Mitch (Morgan Freeman) and Jean (Jennifer Lopez) make up a fragile group of lost souls trying to come to grips with pain, loss and forgiveness. Einar loses his only son, Griffin, in a car accident and then his wife
every minute takes the life of the man
an unfinished life
leaves him. Then, Jean and her elevenyear-old daughter, aptly named Griff, arrive at Einar's ranch after fleeing an abusive boyfriend. On the ranch, Einar is coerced into talking about his situation
to the young, inquisitive Griff through a series of conversations. This collection of scenes illustrates the powerful dialogue found throughout the film.
The film excels in the subtle, comic banter between Freeman and Redford, who bring depth and rugged wisdom to their roles. But the film is misguided in the relationship between Jean and the town sheriff (Josh Lucas), and the all-too-perfectly timed entrances of Jean's ex boyfriend; it's just too forced. Despite the lack of character development in parts, An Unfinished Life does a solid job of displaying believable character interactions. It's a quiet film worth watching.

Kanye West
Late Registration
☆☆☆1/2
Tight. Dope. Bomb-ass. Go ahead, shakin'. The Grammys love him. MTV loves him.
pick your clichéd, hip-hop adjective. It all applies to Kanye West's latest album, Late Registration.
LAWN WEST
PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT
We all know the beats and music are going to be amazing. Unfortunately, they're so amazing that Kanye West's rapping still seems sophomoric in comparison.
But don't get me wrong. These lyrics are much better than on The College Dropout, West's first album. Any improvement is a direct result of the confidence he gleaned from the mega-success of his first album. He's willing to try more things on this album. And some of the efforts are incredible, like the track "Roses," in which he raps about the health-care problems black Americans face in hospitals, or the track "Gone," which is the best song on the album, musically and lyrically.
There are hiccups, most notably evidenced on the track "Crack Music," a politically-charged track featuring rapper, The Game. The message is there, but it's difficult to access a message without the music behind it.
But if West has one strong point, it's his ability to appeal to every member of the listening community. He'll be played on the boring top-40 radio stations around Kansas City. The music snobs will play him on college radio. The DJs at the clubs will spin his records to get people
And yet, more important than the rhymes and the beats is the content. Unfortunately, for many people, West's music is the only music they will ever listen to that deals with racial and political messages. Top-40 kids, I'm looking at you.
West's new release opens like his last one,
with a blistering lecture from an old, black faculty member. He tells West that he "isn't doing anything with his life," and that "nothing has been promised to him." While we listeners think the faculty member is out of touch, West's comments ultimately frame his message and consequently the state of mind of the black community.
West's ultimate theme is a message that blacks will have to fight for their place in America, even through corrupt, disingenuous systems like college. So his music isn't perfect by any means, but his message is vitally important, especially in light of the way minorities were slighted in the recent tragic hurricane.
For some, West's political commentary Late Registration arrives just in time.

Minus The Bear
Menos el Oso
☆☆
MinusThe Bear has made a name for itself with its original form of progressive indie/emo. Powered by upbeat, dance-
able drumbeats, interesting guitar leads, odd time signatures, and subtle vocals, the group will have you dancing to its songs, but still thinking at the same time.
The band's latest release, Menos el Oso finds the group doing more of the same: writing uptempo, catchy songs with random titles such
MINUS
THE BEAR
Marcos al Bar
as "This Ain't A Surfin' Movie" or "The Game Needed Me." As usual the drumbeats are impressive, the guitar leads are awesome and the songs never let
up with Minus The Bear's original style of writing.
The few standout tracks include the
20| Jayplay 09.22.05
somber, "The Pig War," where the band messes around with electronic drumbeats. Another favorite is "Pachuca Sunrise," which features Minus The Bear's standard blend of intertwining guitar sounds backed by a steady drumbeat.
But unfortunately, the songs just aren't as good as some of
the bands past efforts. Menos el Oso is a pretty enjoyable CD, after a few listens. But if you want to hear its best stuff, just pick up 2004's They Make Beer Commercials Like This.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction System: X-Box, PS2, Gamecube, PC
★★★
Let's face it. Everyone, at some point in his or her life, has wanted to pull a light
post out of the ground and run down a city block using it to smash everything in sight. Well, maybe not everyone. But for those who have, Radical Entertainment has just the game for you.
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction gives players control of the
ticular character — the alter ego of mildmannered Dr. Bruce Banner. He suffers from a condition that transforms him into a massive, green giant every time he gets mad. The story centers on his search for a cure, which is constantly hindered by the U.S. government as it hunts him down. Destruction ensues.
Gameplay is fast-paced and consistently entertaining. The Hulk's repertoire of
moves is enormous, as is the city that the game takes place in. Players can run up walls, leap over buildings and even snap cars in half to use them as gloves. Unfortunately, the game's missions are occasionally lacking and are often repetitive. Additionally, the
graphics are pretty simplistic. But this is understandable, given the huge size of the environments.
Overall, Destruction is a solid title that should appeal to fans of the comic or action games in general.

I am a sucker for bargains. And ladies, lets just say the cup runneth over at Kieu's. Every time I shop at this store (for my friends...don't get any crazy images in your head), I see racks of cute, clearance, BCBG-esque dresses, summer bottoms, shoes and jeans.
The color spectrum is alive in the store, where hanging displays are lined with autumnal hues, grays and flashy teals, pinks and oranges.
Kieu's has an array of shirt styles and colors, especially spaghetti-strap tops and flowing blouses, softened by silky fabrics with funky, geometric patterns. An extra bonus is the Kieu's shoe selection: it's trendy, diverse and surprisingly large.
Look for cute, round-toed flats and embroidered, point-toed heels, styles
reminiscent of those found in the September issue of Cosmopolitan.
**Price Range:** Tops run in price anywhere from the $20 to $30. More elaborate styles are priced around $40. Mini and peasant skirts range from $30 to $40. Pants are priced $40 to $70 with the most expensive, great-fitting jeans are $90. Find the best deals on the north-wall shoe rack, where flats and heels range from $22 to $30 and a few boot styles can be found for $35.
Best For: Kieu's has great club attire options. The styles are cute, stylish and affordable, but Kieu's is specifically a petite, apparel collection. So shop accordingly.

BOOK
The Time Traveler's Wife
By Audrey Niffenegger
Harcourt, $14, available in paperback
Often, books come out that slip through the cracks at first, which makes finding them later that much more special. It's also nice to get them in
paperback for about half the price of a hardback. I decided to give The Time Traveler's Wife a try following a friend's recommendation. While a little dense at 500 pages, it has one of the most unique plots I've ever come across.
Henry DeTamble, our said time traveler, is afflicted with a fictional genetic disorder that causes him to travel back and forth through time, involuntarily. He has no control over
where he goes, when he goes or how long he's gone. For obvious reasons, this can get a little dangerous.
Clare Abshire, our said time traveler's wife, first encounters Henry as a child, when he (as an adult) time travels to her family's home. Henry turns into a repeat visitor, and as adults, Clare and Henry get married. The body of the novel recounts how Henry's time traveling experiences shape him, and how Clare deals with being left behind during the travel. The two face hardships such as trying to have a child, the danger of Henry's time travel and Clare's impatience at

THE TIME
TRAVELER'S

The city of Chicago, where Henry works as a librarian and Clare is studying art, serves as the backdrop of the

Some of the details are confusing (in a scene, there are often two Henrys of two different ages, one of that time and one time traveling). Niffenegger helpfully provides the ages and locations of the characters prior to each scene change. Henry must come face to face with some painful past memories, including the death
story. By the end of the novel, the city has evolved into its own character.

of his mother, and his own unhappy young adulthood.
Apart from being the most un-science fiction "science fiction" novel I've ever read, Time Traveler is, despite its quirks, a very sincere and moving romance. Clare represents the stereotypically feminine behavior in her waiting, and Henry encompasses the masculinity of coming and going.The two characters, so different personality-wise, clash beautifully together. The end result is the lesson that love will always outlast time.

Where I come from...
Growing up a country bumpkin has its ups and downs, but this country girl left with much more than some good stories and mud on her tires.
Groggily, I roll out of bed and slip into my black-and-white bikini. After shuffling into the kitchen, I slurp down some
cereal. Then I apply a healthy dose of sun block, put on my flip-flops, tie on my blue bandana and grab the water jug.
Katie Moyer Jayplay writer
When I step outside at 7 a.m., the morning sun seems to weigh on me as I make my way through the stubbly pasture toward the tractor. My dad had called earlier to wake me, saying that it was supposed to be the hottest day of the summer so I should get
started mowing the fields early. Remembering his words as I climb up into the seat of the Farmall 706, which my dad named "Rusty" for obvious reasons, I wipe away the beads of sweat already trickling down my forehead. I start up the tractor, let Rusty get some of that black smoke out of his lungs and begin another day of summer work. With no air conditioning and no canopy to protect me from the sun, I know that today I'll be earning my tan.
My grandpa farmed
Since my family moved out of town to our small patch of 106 acres when I was 9 years old, I have grown to truly
appreciate a hard day's work. Living out in the country has its disadvantages, like the hassle of driving 15 minutes for gas and groceries, and not being able to hang out with my friends as much in the summer. But because of my experiences growing up, I developed a strong work ethic and an intimate knowledge of animals' natural life cycle.
My grandpa farmed for 35 years and my dad worked for him all the way through college. Dad had to quit school at Kansas State because grandpa was in a combine accident and needed help on the farm. He and my mom are small business owners now, but dad couldn't completely give up the farm life. As a result, my family has bought and sold Hereford and Black Angus cattle for more than 10 years.
Talk to my friends, and you'd think they believed their meat simply comes
already wrapped in plastic. I, on the other hand, know where my meat comes from. Our meat comes from the cattle my family raises. We have always felt close to the animals we owned and we all take part in caring for the cattle. They depend on us to feed them and take care of them when they're sick. If a calf gets separated from its mother, we hear its bellowing cries and reunite them. And those that stay with us for a while, we usually name. Donna was my favorite.
I admit, I feel sad sometimes when I see my dad rumbling down the driveway with stock trailer in tow, knowing that the animals inside are heading to certain death. But this has given me a more personal understanding of life's cycle.The meat on our table is a result of my family's work in raising the cattle.And as a result of our work on the farm, my parents have taught me to value the fruits of my labor.
When I was in the fourth grade, my dad bought me my own litter of six pigs. Because they were my responsibility, I was up with the sun every morning with a 50-pound sack of grain slung over my
back. I fed them before school and then again as soon as I returned in the afternoon. My parents also depended on me to care for our two horses. I would spend hours on the weekends mucking out their stalls and putting down fresh straw for them. They repaid me by giving me midnight rides with my friends after we had snuck out of the house. Such is rebellion on the farm.
While a lot of my friends here at the University have spent lazy summers lying by the pool and bar-hopping, I spent my summer hours on the tractor and working cattle. But I wouldn't trade that time in for anything. Though it may have been dreadfully hot, exhausting and dangerous at times, my country-girl way of life has given me the desire and the ability to work hard for what I want, and not to mention, a damn good and well-deserved tan.

Walesa stresses unity
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lech Walesa, former president of Poland and this year's recipient of the Dole Institute's Leadership Prize, with the help of a translator, urged a packed house at the Lied Center last night not to fear globalization.
A jovial yet serious Walesa said that the world should approach the 21st century with the attitude that the world was a global community.
"We are all needed. We are all consumers, and if we
want to survive the 21st century we must remain in solidarity." Wales said.
Walesa was a Polish dockyard worker who responded to the Communist government under the Solidarity movement, which united the working class against the Soviet regime.
He continued in the movement until the fall of Communism, and went on to become the first democratically elected president of Poland. Walesa acknowledged that Europe benefitted from the downfall of Communism and said the continent was better off now. But
the distribution of wealth was uneven and, without economic strength, it was hard for Poland to rebuild.
"Transformation after the downfall of Communism has been tough and very costly," Walesa said.
Walesa emphasized the need for a more global community to help rebuild Eastern Europe and said the world had been divided in the past. He said that for the world to be successful in the 21st century it must become global.
"We have no choice, actually, in this. It's a must," Walesa said.
Walesa said that without the Soviet Union's communist power, the United States was the only superpower left. He said that though the United States was a leader in many ways it was not a political or moral leader. Walesa went on to say that Poland modeled its democracy on that of the United States.
He joked that there was some concern when America almost elected two presidents but conceded that maybe the country would be large enough for both presidents to work together.
ics in a lightearted manner, often bringing eruptions of laughter from the crowd, but he continually emphasized the need for globalization and said the battle was not vet over.
Walesa covered serious top-
"We have won a tremendous victory. Now it's up to us to do something about a globalized world." Walesa said.
Erika Simington, Phoenix freshman, said her grandparents lived in Estonia under Communism and that was the reason she attended Walesa's address. She said she learned something as well.

A ticket for a fake ID from the ABC is easy as 123

HANSAN STAFF WRITER

ABC
Alex Benson's fake ID had passed the initial inspection of the bouncer at The Hawk, but uniformed Lawrence police officers swooped in when his friend's ID was being scrutinized by the bouncer
The police stepped outside with his friend. That's when Benson said he decided to leave through the other front door of The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St. But the police apprehended Benson at 12th and Ohio streets and issued him a citation that resulted in a misdemeanor and a $337 ticket for false identification.
"I was a lot more upset back then because I had to pay the money." Benson said.
The Hawk could not be reached for comment on the situation. Benson, Salina senior, got his ticket when he was a sophomore, but he still goes to the bars now that he has a legitimate ID. The Lawrence Police Department and the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control patrol Lawrence bars, restaurants and liquor stores for underage drinkers. The ABC often inspects establishments in Lawrence because of the town's large population of underage drinkers. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said officers who patrol areas concentrated with bars look for underage drinkers in those bars and sometimes restaurants.
Occasionally Lawrence police assist the ABC with its patrols in Lawrence, he said.
Tom Groneman, director of the ABC, said the agency's plainclothes officers enter a bar and look for people who appear young or those buying alcohol for them. The officers also look for those in 18-and-over establishments who are drinking but lack a wristband or have Xs on their hands, he said. Groneman said the ABC's 16 field agents work throughout the state, but give more attention to Lawrence because it has a large population of underage
The agency operates wherever there is a large gathering of underage drinkers, such as the Wakarusa Festival or the City Stampede.

Enrollment breaks record once again

The University of Kansas' fall 2005 enrollment set a record once again with a 34 student increase from fall 2004.
The official number of students at the University is 29,624, a 0.1 percent increase. Last year it was 29,590. Provost David Shulenburg-ered said the ideal enrollment number for the University was "about what we have now." He said the high enrollment was a good sign for the University because it "shows students like the place."
But at the same time it is worrysome because the University is not planning on creating any new classrooms. Though Shulenburger said new faculty members were being hired and the

As the music of Big John and the 39th Street Blues Band can be heard, students come to the barbecue sponsored by SUA and KU Dining Services last night. Resident hall cafeterias were closed to encourage students to come out to the Lied Center.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The sound of blues music and the smell of barbecue came together yesterday evening as students gathered for the Blues & Barbecue event on the Lied Center lawn.
With 30 Dining Service members and enough food for 2,200 students, the event brought residents from University residence halls together. The event, sponsored by Student Union Activities and KU Dining Services, allowed residents to meet other residence hall members as well as enjoy live entertainment and activities.
To encourage people to attend the event Dining Services closed all the residence hall dining services for the evening.
Oliver Hall resident Erin Glmore, Minneapolis freshman, said she would not attend the event
because of the distance of the Lied Center from her residence hall
"We have to use our own money because we don't want to walk over there," she said.
Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director for KU Dining Services, said the Lied Center lawn provided the space needed for the event.
In addition, the location was convenient because it was a place where the bands Blue 88 and Big John & the 39th Street Blues Band could play without disturbing classes, said Shannon Stewart, comedy and concerts coordinator for SUA.
"One of our concerns was not interfering with classes because we will be a little bit noisy," she said.
Alayne Meadows, Olathe junior and jayhawker Towers resident, said the walk didn't bother her because she enjoyed the music and the environment.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY MARK VERTHALER

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The on-again, off-again band known as The Band That Saved the World has been hitting the
live circuit for the past three years delivering a fresh mix of soul, jazz and rock. Tonight and tomorrow, it will return home to Lawrence for back-to-back shows at the Jazzhaus.
The Lawrence octet's most recent album, "Changes," came out three years ago, but the sound still has yet to stale.
The band even breeches genres to hit the hard-core funk of the mid-70s with songs like
Serving up polished brass sounds with upbeat vocals, smoot bass lines and screeching guitars, this is some local flavor that will offer a break from the standard Alternative/Metal flavor in Lawrence.
Serving up polished brass sounds with upbeat vocals, smooth bass lines and screeching guitars, this is some local flavor that will offer a break from the standard Alternative/Metal flavor in Lawrence.
The band isn't limited to your standard fair of funk and soul either, such songs as "Lasso the Moon" show the acoustic side of the band, which it pulls off with just as much skill as its more elaborate numbers.
sometimes heartfelt lyrics, this is a band that not only knows what it's doing, it enjoys getting there in the process.
The vocals of Shannon Savole lend a smooth overtone to the music that ties the rolling music and sharp beats together. Coupled with the light-hearted,
Its heavy bass and kick-drum with trilling guitars and horns provides backup that gives it a retro-funk flavor.
"Changes" has proved that you can have multiple genres on one CD and still make it easy to listen to. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, without the sickening changing of gears that happens so often when other
bands take a stab at multiple style recording.
Although TBTSTW has independently produced two records, its live show is definitely where its heart lies. In full swing of a live tour, be sure to check these local boys as they come back home.
Located at 926 1/2 Massachusetts St, the show is 21 and over only. The admission is $5 and the show will begin at 10 p.m.

Display a first for museum
Commissioned video shows Lawrence laborers at work
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Spencer Museum of Art will display student work for the first time in its 77-year history. The museum has also commissioned a video presentation to go along with the current photo exhibit, which is another first for the Spencer.
The video presentation, which the museum commissioned last summer from local artists and University of Kansas art and design professors Luke Jordan and Earl Iverson, focuses on Lawrence workers.
"This was an opportunity that came up very quickly," Jordan said. "It wouldn't have been possible for someone else to do it from anywhere else but here."
Jordan said the project was interesting because no one had a set idea for what they would end up with. The theme was "feeding Lawrence" and had to be tied to workers in the workplace.
Jordan and Iverson decided to film employees at Wheatfields Bakery, Free State Brewing Co.
Lawrence Journal-World and Sunflower Broadband. They collected more than 30 hours of video of workers doing various tasks, from preparing dough to bundling newspapers.
"We went in and were allowed to just be flies on the wall," Jordan said. "The people at Free State said, 'Don't tape the bathrooms, but everything else is cool.'"
The images will be projected on different parts of the walls in the central court of the museum. There will be no printed labels. Instead, everything from the curator's statement to the titles of the works will be projected on the walls.
Jordan said this would be done to include everything in video format. He also said the central court would be dimly lit to create the feeling that the viewer was getting a sneak peek into the lives of the workers.
what to think, but the thoughtful observer would find a lot to grab hold of," he said.
"We're not telling people
One of the videos from Wheatfields Bakery focused on the making of pastries. It follows the dough from formellum lump to freshly baked pastry.
On the front exterior of the museum, which faces the Kansas Union, in a cordoned-off area, workers of various types will perform their jobs for people to watch from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday outside the main entrance until Oct. 20. When not occupied, the space is available for anyone to demonstrate their skills in a free-form, exhibition-style display.
Inside, in the right hallway of the main level, visitors will find a display of 20 photographs taken by KU students.
Brett Knappe, photo intern for the Spencer Museum of Art and collaborator for the student's exhibit, said the time had arrived
for students not just to appreciate the work in the museum, but be a part of it themselves.
"I think this is a good opportunity for the students having their work shown in a major museum," Knappe said. "Many local artists would love to have this opportunity to be on display in a significant way."
Knappe said every student took a different approach. One or two of the students actually set up a photo shoot specifically with the theme in mind. Others took their photos while traveling abroad. Erik Heironimus, Paola graduate student in architecture, took a series of photos near his hometown specifically for the exhibit. Each of his four black and white photos in silver gelatin is a close up shot of antique farm equipment, he said.
"I'm quite excited and honored just to be chosen to have my work in the Spencer," Heironiumus said. "And I'm even more honored to have them presented at the same time as a photographer as distinguished as Friedlander."

LANGDON — Two fire trucks responding to a brush fire in south-central Kansas collided head-on yesterday, killing the district's fire chief. The accident occurred about 4 p.m. southwest of Hutchinson as the two trucks from Reno County Fire District No. 7 responded to a controlled field burn that had gotten out of hand, the Reno County Sheriff's Office said. The office said smoke from the blaze had reduced visibility over the roadway, contributing to the crash. One of the drivers, Fire Chief Ed King, 55, of Turon, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other truck, Assistant Fire Chief Tom Franks, 57, also of Turon, was uninjured, the sheriff's office said. It was unclear if anyone else was on either truck.

Seven hunters charged for killing cranes
WICHITA -- Seven men were charged yesterday with shooting two whooping cranes, an incident that sparked unsuccessful efforts to halt the state's sandhill crane hunting season.
The shooting allegedly took place Nov. 6, 2004, during a hunting trip in Stafford County. The hunters will not be arrested, but will be issued a summons to appear in court Sept. 30. The maximum penalty for the misdemeanor charge is six months in prison and a $15,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office
The deaths of the whooping cranes led bird enthusiasts to seek changes to Kansas' sandhill crane hunting season earlier this year.

WASHINGTON—John Roberts' nomination as chief justice cleared a Senate committee on a bipartisan vote of 13-5 yesterday, with next week's confirmation so certain that Republicans and Democrats turned increasing attention to President Bush's choice to fill a second Supreme Court vacancy.
Before the committee vote on Roberts, Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., said, "I will vote my hopes and not my fears, and I will vote to confirm him." Kohl was one of three Democrats on the Judiciary Committee who supported Roberts' nomination along with all 10 Republicans on the panel.
"I don't see how anybody can justify a vote against Judge Roberts, unless they want to nitpick certain areas that you can nitpick on anybody," said Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
Five Democrats voted against Roberts, questioning his commitment to civil rights and expressing concern that he might overturn the 1973 court ruling that established the right to abortion.
"The values and perspectives displayed over and over again in his record cast doubt on his view of voting rights, women's rights, civil rights and disability rights," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said of the 50-year-old appeals court judge and former Reagan administration lawyer.
The Democratic support for Roberts marked a stinging defeat for the liberal groups that are lobbying energetically against confirmation. Without mentioning names, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., criticized them in remarks on the Senate floor, accusing them of "knee-jerk, unbending and what I consider to be unfair attacks" on lawmakers who disagreed with them.
Even so, one prominent conservative said he was unimpressed with the level of bipartisanship in committee.
"We're supposed to think the
Democrats are being magnanimous? Give me a break," said Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society. He noted that several Supreme Court nominations by presidents of both parties have gained overwhelming bipartisan support in the past two decades.
The full Senate is to debate Roberts' nomination next week, with all 55 Republicans expected to support him. A final vote is expected Thursday, in enough time to allow him to succeed the late William H. Rehnquist and become the 17th chief justice before the court begins a new term on Oct. 3.
With the committee session over, Democrats not on the panel began making their positions known.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., a potential presidential contender in 2008, said she will oppose the nomination. In prepared remarks, she said, "Desire to maintain the already fragile Supreme Court majority for civil rights, voting rights and
women's rights outweighs the respect I have for Judge Roberts' intellect, character and legal skills."
There was scant sparring in the Judiciary Committee as 18 senators took turns reading prepared statements laying out their positions. What passed for suspense had dissipated Wednesday, when Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the panel's senior Democrat, announced he would support the nomination.
With Roberts' confirmation a certainty, several senators on the committee were looking ahead to Bush's selection of a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the committee's chairman, told reporters he thought the president might name a successor shortly after Roberts' confirmation. "He might wait until the following Monday, but seeing how President Bush operates, I think it will be sooner rather than later," he said.

Perfect exam scores earn big rewards
Steve Lynn
The University of Kansas is offering a new scholarship this semester to in-state students who earn a perfect score on college entrance exams, either a 36 on the ACT or a 1600 on the SAT.
The scholarship, named the Perfect Achievement Scholarship, covers the cost of enrollment in 15 credit hours, housing in residence halls, a meal plan and a book stipend. The scholarship is estimated to be worth $50,000 for four years.
"We wanted to highlight the academic achievement of Kansas scholars by recognizing perfect achievement," said Lisa
Pamononti Kress, director of admissions and scholarships.
Thornton Thompson, Lenexa freshman, is the first person to receive the scholarship. He scored a 36 on the ACT.

Francisco Gutierrez will stop in Lawrence this weekend with the crew of the Papaotzin project, which has been following the migration of monarch butterflies since Aug. 22.
Gutierrez started in Montreal, Canada, and will end his journey at the butterfly sanctuaries in Michoacan, Mexico. The Papalotzin project uses an ultralight plane for travel.
At 10 a.m. on Monday, the plane will be transferred from Lawrence Municipal Airport to Foley Hall, 2021 Constant Ave., to be displayed for the media. Dan Lara, of University Relations, said the event was open to the public
Lara said the crew of the project would be taking footage of Lawrence and the University campus from its plane.
Orley "Chip" Taylor will take Gutierrez and his crew on a tour of Foley Hall and the Baker Wetlands. Lara said. Gutierrez will interview Taylor, director of Monarch watch and professor of ecology, for the documentary about the trip, said Lara.

Jerry Neverve, owner of Red Lyon Tavern, 944 Massachusetts St., said his establishment had had one violation in 13 years.
The agency also operates on the day of a football or basketball game or at the beginning of a new semester, he said.
"They come in and don't announce their presence unless something bad happens," Neverve said.
The agency also inspects liquor stores. Scott Schmidtberger, manager of Alvin's Wine and Spirits, 905 Iowa St., said the ABC has
been using 19- to 20-year-old people for 10 years to make sure a store is following the law. The underage person, carrying a legal, under-21 ID, will try to buy alcohol, he said.
Schmidberger said the store hadn't been checked in a "sting operation" for two years. The store received a violation six years ago for selling to a minor, he said.
Lawrence has a 95 percent compliance rate, which means only 5 percent of liquor stores sold to minors when the ABC last checked them Schmidtberger said. Ten years ago, 25 percent of liquor stores sold to minors, he said.

This event is the first one SUA and Dining Services have organized together for residence hall students, Stewart said.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said it was a positive thing to have high enrollment because that meant the retention rate was also high.
She said the partnership between the two organizations was just one of the ways SUA was trying to work with other campus groups, and that SUA wanted this event to become something residence hall members would look forward to.

Enrollment CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
She said that the University had to accept all students who meet the admissions requirements, but that the University was expecting to implement an enrollment deposit for students applying for the fall 2006 semester. Pinamonti Kress said the reason for the deposit was to better manage applicants to the University. She said the details were still being worked out, and other than that she could not comment.
The number of in-state students at the University has increased by one percent, to 20,587. Out-of-state students total 9,037, or about 30.5 percent of the student body. The percentage of out-of-state students has fluctuated between 27 and 35 percent, Shulenburger said. He also said that was a good percentage because it was higher than most state universities.
Lisa Lipovac/KANSAN
Enrollment at the Edwards Campus has fallen by 46 students, or 0.2 percent. Shulenburger said this was because the University began charging out-of-state tuition at the Edwards campus a few years ago. He said enrollment would probably be up in the next few years.

EARTH tour features farms
ENVIRONMENT

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Environmental Action to Revitalize the Heartland at the University of Kansas is looking for volunteers to showcase farms during the Kaw Valley Farm Tour. The tour, which is intended to raise awareness of the local agricultural industry, is Oct. 1 and 2 from 1 to 5 p.m.
The Kaw Valley Farm Tour is a driving tour that includes stops at 16 farms in and around Douglas County. Each farm will showcase food and agriculture unique to that farm. Volunteers for the Kaw Valley Farm Tour will participate in a training session on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. At the training session, volunteers will view a slideshow presentation of the 16 farms in order to become familiar with the farms before the tour begins.
"We can use all the help we can get," Jamil Akram, EARTH Coordinator and Kansas City, Mo., senior, said.
EARTH is part of KU's Center for Community Outreach and is dedicated to promoting environmental awareness in the community by helping with events like the farm tour.
"We are about 60 percent there," said Hilary Kass, nutrition educator and volunteer coordinator for the tour. "But we need the other 40 to make sure it goes smoothly."
The tour sponsored by the Kansas Department of Commerce, the Kaw Valley Agri-Tourism Council,

Class or race: A big difference
Was Katrina a case study in 21st century racism?
Looking at the footage of victims on TV, and the photos in the newspapers, it was very clear that a majority of the people who were left behind were African American.
I spoke to Mark Maddox, a native Kansan, who two years ago moved to New Orleans to study at Tulane University for his masters and Ph.D. He is now back in Kansas because he had to transfer to the University for the semester as a result of Katrina.
Maddox, who is white, expressed his views on the slow reaction of the government. "Locally, (New Orleans) Mayor Nagin was not prepared for this at all, but at the federal government level, I think it could have been a race and class issue. At some level, the government decided that they were not going to go in and help these people," Maddox said.
I believe, as do many people, that it was almost as much of a class issue as it was a race issue. Some of the people who were also left behind were poor whites.
It didn't really matter who you were; if you had money or connections, whether you were black or white, you got out of town.
According to the 2000 census, at least 67.25 percent of New Orleans's population is African American, the median income for a household is about $27,133 and 23.7 per

cent of families were below the poverty line. They had the least money and connections and they were targets for the suffering, as an examination of some of the events shows.
As those who survived the hurricane tried to flee the floods, masses of them were dropped off in front of the Earnest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans approximately 10 blocks from the Superdome.
When the superdome filled up, people were turned away and sent down the street. They were to stand outside the convention center until busses came to take them out of the city. Some 20,000 people later, with no food, no water, no busses, they broke into the convention center to seek shelter.
Because the center was not equipped with the proper tools to take care of these victims, lawlessness and chaos soon broke out. It was mayhem from Monday, Aug. 29 until Friday, Sept. 2. Some of the few policemen in there were so afraid they took off their uniforms. It was that bad.
Some actions or lack of actions raise the race question. According to the The Washington Post, a police officer from Jefferson Parish, a nearby county pleaded with SWAT team Captain, Jeff Winn to help him by bringing his wife and female relative from the convention center to safety.
Once the people realized that the SWAT team had not come to help them, but came only to save the two white women, they soon grew angry, shouting "racists!"
Yet, even worse, as women were raped and men were murdered by thugs at the convention center-in that very same
When the SWAT team entered the convention center, desperately fearful people, mostly black, thought help had finally arrived. The officer called out his wife's name. She and another woman soon came to him, and the SWAT team surrounded them and took them immediately from the building.
building, about 250 armed Louisiana National Guard troops were also camped out. The troops simply barricaded themselves in an exhibition hall hoping that no one would get in. The troops did nothing, because supposedly they were not there to keep order in the convention center. Were there 20,000 mostly white people suffering, would they have sat on their hands? Would they have tried to provide food or water, let alone protection?
"There is a definite link between race and class; there always has been. Living in New Orleans for two years, I see the way people are treated. I see the way cops treat young rich kids from uptown, and I see how the blacks are treated," Maddox said. "It's a big difference."

MEGAN LOGUE

Think back to when you were a freshman in high school. I bet when you see pictures of yourself when you were 15 you laugh and you wonder how you even made it this far looking as ridiculous as you did then.
It's funny how I thought college was going to be this instant life-altering experience that began the second I set foot out the door of my parents' house and into the exciting, independent, and rather drunken world we call college.
Most people reflect back on those years and can only focus on the overwhelming realization that they have drastically changed.
Now, I can proudly report that I have accomplished all of those commendable aspirations, but there is another large element involved in these very precious and important years that is sometimes overshadowed by those other things.
I planned on meeting thousands of people, spending random weeknights at bars and doing stupid things that would land any parent in the hospital from a sudden and dramatic anxiety attack.
There is nothing worse than a person wasting his time being fake and behaving in a way that isn't a genuine portrayal of who he really is.
Simply be who you are, that is all there to it. It sounds simple and tedious, a phrase that you have definitely heard before on flowery daytime television, and throughout your life up until now. The real question is how many of us actually live that way?
Don't be afraid to branch out from the norm and partake in something that is outside the
realm of what is mainstream and in style. Isn't style supposed to be reflective of a person's own distinctive and unique essence? Girls are especially concerned with this phenomenon. For example, most girls would rather jump off a bridge than wear something that some fashion magazine considers distasteful.
Likewise, many guys have a strong, healthy fear of appearing even the slightest bit sensitive or unmusculine. When it comes down to it, these things are frivolous and ultimately insignificant.
This same type of thing applies even in the way we act. If you have strong feelings about something or particularly enjoy an activity that is not the most ordinary, don't run or ignore these notions, embrace them.
At the same time, don't go out of your way to do things that you wouldn't normally do in order to impress or get the attention of someone else.
Why would you want to compromise yourself for the approval of another person?
Chances are that if they don't notice you for who you are then you probably don't want them around anyway. Don't give in to the shallow, one-dimensional band wagon that seems to be running along side as you go through life, because believe me, it is way over-rated.
Making decisions about who you are and what you do based on the opinion and judgments of other people is a terrible way to go through life.
When you are 50 years old and taking that sweet walk down memory lane, it's not going to be about what you wore, or how "in style" you were, but about the inimitable and distinct yet crazy experiences that made you into the person you will be. Unfortunately for those who learn this too late, enjoy the land of "what its" and regret.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Documented Iraqi civilian deaths stand at 24,000 (http://www.iraqbodycount.net/). The use of torture by US troops in Iraq has been documented, as has the use of napalm and depleted uranium, all rebuilt under international law (http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2003/030810-napalm-iraq01.htm).
Grossly mistaken
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7967-20040ct28.html).
Major Gross severely misinterprets the LCR campaign in his Sept. 15 letter. LCR cares about the conditions of oppressed people; that's why it opposes the occupation of Iraq. Iraqi deaths since the start of the war have been estimated as high as 100,000, with 84,000 caused by coalition forces.
Contrary to what Major Gross
claims, the anti-war, labor and civil rights movements have ensured the right to protest, not the military. The military has often been used to quell their protests.
Abroad, the U.S. military has intervened to insure that US business interests are protected without regard for the effects these interventions will have upon ordinary people. We do not accept oppression, whether America causes it or not.
LCR is opposed to the US Military as it opposes US Imperialism. To suggest, as Major Gross does, that a lack of support for the US military equals support for Saddam Hussein or the Taliban is faulty logic at best, disingenuous at worst.

Anti-recruitment effective
In response to the Sept. 21 column by Ashton Martin, as far as I know, no campaign on campus has actively targeted soldiers on the campus, or the individual members of the ROTC.

Instead, I know that a campaign currently exists that strives to prevent military recruiters from being able to lie to students (typically those who come from poor socio-economic backgrounds or that are failing) and entice
People have been lobbying for three years, and the war hasn't ended. In fact, the biggest threat to the military's effort in Iraq is the lack of fresh recruits.
It's disturbing to me that Ashton promotes the idea that those who are against the war should not work to reduce the number of new recruits in the military, but instead focus on joining the Democratic Party or lobbying our congress people.

Logic would indicate then, that if you want to end the war, you wouldn't ally yourself with a political party that actively supported the war (as the Democrats did, and still do), but instead focus on concrete measures that you could take to reduce the capacity to wage war.

HURRICANE RITA
Trickling departures frustrate Texas evacuees
Michael Ainsworth/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gulf residents try to evacuate Houston on Interstate 45 in preparation for Hurricane Rita yesterday. Texas governor Rick Perry opened all eight lanes of the highway to northbound traffic in an unprecedented attempt to speed the strucured evacuation effort.
BY MIKE GRACZYK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Hurricane Rita closed in on the nation's fourth-largest city and the heart of the U.S. oil-refining industry with howling 145 mph winds yesterday, sending hundreds of thousands of people fleeing in a frustratingly slow, bumper-to-bumper exodus.
"This is the worst planning I've ever seen," said Julie Anderson, who covered just 45 miles in 12 hours after setting out from her home in the Houston suburb of LaPorte. "They say we've learned a lot from Hurricane Katrina. Well, you couldn't prove it by me."
Nearly 2 million people along the Texas and Louisiana coasts were urged to get out of the way of Rita, a 400-mile-wide storm that weakened yesterday from a top-of-the-scale Category 5 hurricane to a Category 4 as it swirled across the Gulf of Mexico.
It also made a sharper-than-expected turn to the right late yesterday afternoon, on a course that could spare Houston and nearby Galveston a direct hit and send it instead toward Port Arthur, Texas, or Lake Charles, La., at least 60 miles up the coast, by tonight or early tomorrow.
But it was still an extremely dangerous storm and one aimed at a section of coastline with the nation's biggest concentration of oil refineries. Environmentalists warned of the possibility of a toxic spill from the 87 industrial plants and storage installations that represent more than one-fourth of U.S. refining capacity.
Rita also brought rain to already-battered New Orleans, raising fears that the city's Katrina-damaged levees would fail and flood the city all over again.
At 5 p.m. EDT, Rita was centered about 405 miles southeast of Galveston and was moving at near 9 mph. Its winds were near 140 mph, down from 175 mph
earlier in the day. Forecasters predicted it would come ashore somewhere along a 350-mile stretch of the Texas and Louisiana coast that includes Port Arthur near the midpoint.
Forecasters warned of the possibility of a storm surge of 15 to 20 feet, battering waves and rain of up to 15 inches along the Texas and western Louisiana coast.
The evacuation was a traffic nightmare, with red brakelights streaming out of Houston and its low-lying suburbs as far as the eye could see. Highways leading inland out of Houston, a metropolitan area of four million people, were clogged for up to 100 miles north of the city.
Drivers ran out of gas in 14-hour traffic jams or looked in vain for a place to stay as hotels filled up all the way to the Oklahoma and Arkansas line. Others got tired of waiting in traffic and turned around and went home.
Service stations reported running out of gasoline, and police officers along the highways carried gas to motorists whose tanks were on empty. Texas authorities also asked the Pentagon for help in getting gasoline to drivers stuck in traffic.
people walked their dogs, got out to stretch or switch drivers or lounged in the beds of pickup trucks. Fathers and sons played catch on freeway medians. Some walked from car to car, chatting with others.
Rather than sit in traffic, some
With temperatures in the 90s, many cars were overheating, as were some tempers.
"I've been screaming in the car," said Abbie Huckleby, who was trapped on Interstate 45 with her husband and two children as they tried to get from the Houston suburb of Katy to Dallas, about 250 miles away. "It's not working. If I would have
known it was this bad, I would have stayed at home and rode out the storm at home."
Trazanna Moreno decided to do just that. After leaving her Houston home and covering just six miles in nearly three hours, she finally gave up.
"It could be that if we ended up stranded in the middle of nowhere that we'd be in a worse position in a car dealing with hurricane-force winds than we would in our house," she said.
To speed the evacuation, Gov. Rick Perry halted all southbound traffic into Houston along I-45 and took the unprecedented
step of opening all eight lanes to northbound traffic out of the city for 125 miles. I-45 is the primary evacuation route north from Houston and Galveston.
Perry urged evacuees to stay calm and be patient.
"You've done the right thing by leaving two days before Hurricane Rita makes landfall," he said. "You will get out of the coastal region on time. It's just going to take some time."
In Galveston, a city rebuilt after an unnamed 1900 hurricane killed between 6,000 and 12,000 residents in what is still the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history, the once-bustling tourist island was all but abandoned, with at least 90 percent off its 58,000 residents cleared out.
The city pinned its hopes on its 11-mile-long, 17-foot-high granite seawall to protect it from the storm surge, and a skeleton crew of police and firefighters to ward off potential looters.
The last major hurricane to strike the Houston area was Category-3 Alicia in 1983. It flooded downtown Houston, spawned 22 tornadoes and left 21 people dead.
Along the coast, petrochemical plants began shutting down and hundreds of workers were evacuated from offshore oil rigs. Environmentalists warned of a worst-case scenario in which a storm surge pushed spilled oil or chemicals from the bayous into the city of Houston itself, inundating mostly poor. Hispanic neighborhoods on its south side.
At Houston's Johnson Space Center, NASA evacuated its staff, powered down the computers at Mission Control and turned the international space station over to the Russian space agency.
"Whatever happens is going to happen and we are going to have a monumental task ahead of us once the storm passes," said City Manager Steve LeBlanc. "Galveston is going to suffer and we are going to need to get it back in order as soon as possible."

Sophomore center Sasha Kaun sings during Late Night in the Phog last fall. The starting time for Late Night has moved to 7 p.m. this semester.
Late Night not so late this season
BY RVN SCHNEIDER

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
What was once a late night tradition for 20 years may turn into a new early evening tradition at Allen Fieldhouse this year.
A new NCAA rule will allow the Kansas men's and women's basketball teams to begin practice at 7 p.m. Oct. 14 at Late Night in the Phog. Previously, practice was allowed to start at midnight on the Friday closest to Oct. 15. The NCAA rule change cited a concern for the travel of fans, student athletes, coaches and recruits in the early morning hours as the reason for the change.
"The likelihood is that it'll start no later than 7 and it'll end by 9:15." Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said.
Marchiony said a decision had not been made on when doors at the fieldhouse would open for Late Night.
The men's basketball team will be featured on ESPNU from 8 to 9 p.m., said Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director.
In previous years, Late Night provided an outlet for campus groups and men's and women's basketball team members to perform in front of a large crowd. Marchiony said the performances would continue in the new, abridged version.
"We'll have some entertainment, but we haven't nailed it down yet," Marchiony said.
"We're close to setting the schedule."
Even though the traditional basketball kickoff is scheduled during Fall Break for the second consecutive year, Marchiony isn't worried about empty seats. "Judging by the attendance last year, I think it'll be just like it always," Marchiony said. "The earlier time will make it family-friendly. We won't have a problem packing the place."
Last year, Late Night filled the fieldhouse capacity of 16,300 people.
Josh Bailey, Lawrence senior, said he had attended Late Nights for many years and understood that families would benefit most from the change.
"A lot of people in the community enjoy it. It's probably better for them to have it early." Bailey said.
While Marchiony said the time change would make the event more accessible to families, Ryan Nugent, Overland Park freshman, disliked the idea of changing a basketball tradition.
"I like it being late, as in, actual midnight," Nugent said. "There was, at least, more of a point to it."

Construction inside Allen Fieldhouse is wrapping up, with Late Night in the Phog three weeks away.
Boxes and construction material still line the halls
throughout the lower level of the fieldhouse.
Painting was completed on the bleachers and the refurbishment of chairback seats was completed as well.
Additional lights and speakers will be seen hanging from the ceiling.
A new basketball court has
been completed. Crews are currently painting the design, which will be similar to last season. The only difference is that center court will feature a 28-foot version of the new lavhawk logo.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said most of the new video board had been installed, but one piece needed to
be added to the bottom before it would be completed. Small digital advertisement display boards will also be installed above all second-level entrances.
Marchiony said the doors of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics would not be used as an entrance at Late Night.
"I think people will have to
stay away from those entrances and use some of the others," Marchionv said.
The work also continues outside the fieldhouse on the Hall of Athletics, which is not expected to be completed until November.

Aggies out for vengeance after last year's upset loss

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Jayhawks' journey to the Big 12 Conference title starts now after a disappointing end to a not-so-hot nonconference season.
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said his team had now entered the second part of a three-part season.
The team will also play Sunday in a rivalry match against 2004 Big 12 Co-Champion Texas A&M, whose record is 5-1-1.
Tonight, Kansas, whose record is 4-3-1, opens its Big 12 play at home against Baylor, whose record is 2-5-1.
The game was originally scheduled to be played in Waco, Texas, but Hurricane Rita forced the game to be moved to Lawrence.
Nonconference has come and gone making tonight the time to focus on its conference opening weekend one game at a time.

A&M's name," Francis said. "In fact, I think that is the first time I've said A&M in the past two weeks. We're looking at Friday's game. We've got to get a win. Any game on the road in the Big 12 is tough."
Baylor, like Kansas, enters tonight's match after a Sunday defeat. The Bears fell 4-1 to the No. 3 Portland Pilots to end their nonconference run.
Baylor managed just two shots on goal in the defeat. Sophomore midfielder Margaret Kaderli scored the lone goal for the Bears, her first of

the season.
Leading the Baylor offense is senior midfielder Tiffany Boshers. Boshers has collected three goals and two assists for eight points.
Allowing 15 goals in its first eight games, Baylor will start sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Holder. Holder racked up 14 saves against Portland alone and has 56 on the season. That lowers the average number of goals scored against her to 1:91.
Her 19 shots on goal leads the team.
Baylor soccer coach George Van Linder's Bears lead the all-time series against Kansas with five victories, three losses and one tie, but have picked up only one home victory this season.
A not-so-friendly rival, Texas A&M, sits at the closing end of this Big 12 weekend.
"They're a good team," senior forward Caroline Smith said of Baylor. "They're a good test for us."

Networks snub Kansas football
It's a shame that Kansas' next football game against Texas Tech won't be evised.
The Red Raiders' pass—happy offense versus the Jayhawks' tough defense would have created an entertaining match up.
The teams' records are also enticing. Kansas is undefeated, and with Texas Tech playing Division IAA Indiana State tomorrow, the Red Raiders will surely be 3-0 entering the game.
But the networks decided to air Texas at Missouri, Baylor at Texas A&M, Iowa State at Nebraska, and Kansas State at Oklahoma instead.
Making the situation more frustrating for Kansas and Texas Tech fans is the fact that an extra Big 12 Conference game will be televised next week.
Normally, three Big 12 football games are televised each week, with Fox Sports Net typically airing games at 11:30 a.m., ABC at 2:30 p.m. and TBS at 6 p.m. Next week ABC will telewise two games, Texas at Missouri at 11 a.m. and Iowa State at Nebraska at 2:30 p.m.
"There's no way to know," he said. "It's just a week-to-week deal."
Bob Burda, assistant commissioner of the Big 12, said ABC might use that privilege in two weeks, because the conference race will still be unclear and the network might need all the time possible to make its selection.
"There are a few weeks where there are four or so great Big 12 match ups," he said. "In those cases, networks take longer to announce their games."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the networks were always unpredictable in what games they decided to air.
He said that networks never approached Universities about televising football games. The only time the two are in communication is when the networks inform the home school that its football game will be televised at a specific time.
"A lot of it has to do with marquee appeal," he said. "Networks are always looking for teams that are on a roll or looking for an upset."
Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director, said the networks usually picked which games to televise 10 days in advance, but two weeks a year ABC waits until six days before game day to make its announcements.
All four of next week's Big 12 games were announced at the regular time, and the two televised games that seem to be less intriguing than the Kansas at Texas Tech match up are Baylor at Texas A&M and Kansas State at Oklahoma.
Putting Baylor on TV can be explained, because FSN is obligated to televise each Big 12 team at least once a year. The network most likely wanted to show a Baylor game before the Bears' 3-0 record came back to earth, and the fact that Baylor upset Texas A&M last year probably helped the cause as well.
But Kansas State at Oklahoma being on TV is a head scratcher. Oklahoma is 1-2, and Kansas State has looked like anything but a quality team, with narrow victories over Florida International and Marshall.

Editor's note: Nobody was able to Kick the Kansas last week, so we decided to give students tips and background information for this weekend's college football games. Numbers in parenthesis represent the team's national ranking in the Week 4 AP Top 25 Poll.
Colorado at Miami (Fla.) (12)
Colorado at Miami (Fla.) (12)
— Who would have thought the Big 12 North Conference would start this season 14-1? Colorado will look to take its 2-0 record into the first college game played at the Orange Bowl this season. Miami (1-1) beat Clemson on the road 36-30 last weekend.
up an average of over 47 points per game.
North Texas at Kansas State — The Wildcats come off a bye week still unbeaten at 2-0. Kansas State's last victory was in dramatic fashion at Marshall on Sept. 10. North Texas is 1-1 and reeling off of a 54-2 loss at home to Tulsa last weekend.
Iowa (21) at Ohio State (8) — Another Big 10 rivalry will see Ohio State (2-1) playing host to Iowa (2-1), who come off a 45-21 victory against Northern Iowa last week. Ohio State is 1-1 on its home field this season. They beat San Diego State last week and lost to No. 2 Texas two weeks ago.
Purdue (11) at Minnesota — This is one of three marquee match ups in the Big 10 Conference this week. Purdue (2-0) beat Arizona by a touchdown on the road last week. Minnesota (3-0) beat Florida Atlantic at home last week. The Golden Gophers have put
Georgia Tech (15) at Virginia Tech (4) — Both teams come into this game unbeaten at 3-0. Georgia Tech held off North Carolina and Connecticut at home and Auburn on the road this season. The Hokies have won 45-0 the last two weeks, on the road at Duke and home to Ohio last week.
Michigan (14) at Wisconsin — The final of the marquee Big 10 match ups will see Michigan (2-1) on the road against Wisconsin (3-0), who have averaged over 60 points in two home games this year. Michigan's key loss came against Notre Dame at home Sept. 10.
two-time defending national champion Trojans (2-0) have destroyed their opponents this year, winning 63-17 over Hawaii on Sept. 3 and 70-17 over Arkansas last weekend. Oregon (3-0) is 2-0 at home and this weekend will mark the third consecutive home game for Oregon.
USC (1) at Oregon (24) — The
Tennessee (10) at LSU (3) — This will be the first true home game for the Tigers (1-0). Their first game against North Texas on Sept. 3 was postponed due to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. LSU beat No. 18 Arizona State 35-31 Sept. 10. Tennessee's (1-1) key loss was last week against No. 5 Florida.
Boston College at Clemson — Clemson (2-1) comes off a heartbreaking triple overtime loss against Miami. Boston College (2-1) lost last week as well at home against No. 6 Florida State.
North Carolina at NC State — The Tar Heels (0-2) are struggling this year, losing games against Georgia Tech and Wisconsin. NC State (1-1) beat Eastern Kentucky 54-10 last week, but lost to Virginia Tech Sept. 4.

Hornets find home in Oklahoma City
NBA
BY JEFF LATZKR
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — The New Orleans Hornets have a few new homes on the road.
The Hornets announced plans Wednesday to play 35 home games in Oklahoma City and six others in Baton Rouge, La., after a relocation agreement was approved by the city council.
"This whole thing is somewhat bittersweet," owner George Shinn said. "I've got a fine line to walk. I want to be enthusiastic to the people here and let them know I'm proud and that we're going to make this thing work. I also want to make sure that people in New Orleans have hope because they've gone through a lot."
The New Orleans Arena sustained extensive water damage from Hurricane Katrina and will take months to repair. But even if New Orleans is ready to
welcome the team back before the 2005-06 season ends, the Hornets are locked into their 35 dates at the 19,675-seat Ford Center.
The team will alter its home jerseys so they read "Hornets" on the front. The road jerseys will feature the words "New Orleans," but a patch on the shoulder will recognize Oklahoma City. In standings and statistics, the NBA plans to call the team the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets.
Playoff games also would be played in Oklahoma City, and the Hornets will have the option to stay for an extra year.
Numerous other cities — including San Diego, Las Vegas, Nashville, Tenn., and Kansas City, Mo. — also made offers to host the team for the upcoming season, but Oklahoma City had what few others could offer — a top-quality arena with few scheduling conflicts.

Both the Kansas men's and women's cross country teams will compete in their first out-of-state meet tomorrow at the 20th Annual Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, Minn.
It will be the third race of the season for both teams. The women's team is coming off of two first place finishes, the Bob Timmons Invitational and the KSU Dual. The men won the Timmons Invitational and tied
KSU in the dual.
The men's race will be an 8K,and the women's race will be a 6K.
"For our freshmen, this will probably be one of the biggest meets that they race in," said Coach Stanley Redwine. "It's a great meet, great competition, and we're just looking to go there and do well."
The men start at 11:20 a.m., with the women following at 12:20 p.m. Both of the races will be on Les Bolstad golf course.
Last season the men's team finished 10th out of 25 teams,
being led by then sophomore Benson Chesang. The women finished 23rd out of 29 teams.
Coach Redwine did say that Chesang would run in the race this weekend.
The women will have 31 teams to race against. The only Big 12 addition on the women's side is Oklahoma State.
On the men's side 26 teams will be racing this season, including Big 12 conference rivals Baylor, Iowa State and Nebraska.

Up to this point in the season this will be the largest race that the Jayhawks have participated in.
"There are probably going to be in between 200 and 250 girls racing," said Pichardo.
After this meet there will be meets every two weeks allowing the teams to get into a normal race pattern.

FOOTBALL
More than statistics
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITTER
Expectations are high for Nick Reid. It's been that way before the 2005 season.
The senior linebacker from Derby had a solid season last year and was named preseason First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches before the start of this season.
Reid was one of only three players in the Big 12 Conference to have more than 100 tackles last season. This year, Reid has 39 tackles in three games and is on pace for more tackles than the 109 he had last season.
Reid leads the KU defense in tackles, forced fumbles and tackles for loss. This past weekend against Louisiana Tech, Reid had his best game of date. He had 14 total tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack.
"Nick Reid is just solid. He gets it done every game for us," Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino said after the victory against Louisiana Tech.
The Louisiana Tech game was a good game not just for Reid personally, but for the entire defensive unit. Reid led the defense, which had four takeaways, eight sacks and 15 tackles for loss.
Reid said the defense still had a lot of room for improvement before conference play.
Before the start of the season this year, the team chose Reid as one of its five captains. Junior center David Ochoa is one of the other team captains. He said even though he wasn't on defense with Reid, he knew Reid's value to the team.
"It's a great feeling to be 3-0 and know we still have so much to improve on," Reid said. "We are all having fun out there — we just want to go out and make plays."
"The way he plays is the way a lot of us try to play." Ochoa said. "He is a constant team leader and a constant team player. He never complains about anything. He just goes out and does his job."
Reid helped the defense become one of the best units in the conference last season. The team led the Big 12 in takeaways with 27 and also a Big 12 best 19 interceptions. The defense also posted numbers that topped the Kansas record books.
Reid entered the season 12th in all-time total tackles in school history. Now, he is in fourth place with 354 tackles and, barring an injury, will most likely finish second all-time. Second place is currently 403 tackles.
He also ranks in the top ten in career sacks and is eight alltime for tackles in a single season.
Reid said he didn't pay attention to any of the statistics or accolades. When asked if there is anything better then a quarterback sack, Reid said there was one thing: "Hitting someone when they aren't looking."

Team stranded by new storm
HURRICANE RITA
AP SPORTS WRITER
BY RALPH D. RUSSO
With Tulane's plight fresh in their minds, University of Houston officials told the football team to pack for a lengthy trip with Hurricane Rita bearing down on the Texas Gulf Coast.
The Cougars were ready to go but unsure early yesterday where they were headed and how they would be getting there.
The second hurricane in less than a month has college sports teams scrambling again to rearrange schedules — and in some cases — to relocate teams. No. 3 LSU had its home opener delayed for the third time, when the Southeastern Conference decided to push back the Tigers'
game against No. 10 Tennessee two days to Monday night.
Houston's initial plan was to bus the football team, coaches and support staff — about 125 people — to Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas, about a six-hour drive in normal conditions, far longer with much of southeast Texas fleeing the likely destination of a powerful hurricane.
That plan fell through late Wednesday night when the state would not authorize the team's move to the base, according to Houston athletic director Dave Maggard.
And then the Cougars lost their ride when the bus company informed them that they had no drivers for the five buses the
school hired, Maggard said.
"It's left us in a real quandary." Maggard said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press yesterday.
After having no luck finding a charter plane to take the Cougars to Tulsa, Okla., where they play football next Saturday, the team decided to bus it the nearly 500 miles to Tulsa.
Maggard couldn't find any buses in Texas — "That has been amazing to me," he said last night — but secured four in Tulsa. The Cougars expected to be on the road Friday morning.
As for the team, Rita is about to provide some serious bonding time.
"Maybe this will pull every body together." Maggard said.
BOXING
Boxer dies from in-ring blows
BY TIM DAHLBERG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — Boxer Leavander Johnson died yesterday from injuries sustained five days earlier in a lightweight title fight with Jesus Chavez.
The 35-year-old died at University Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since being injured in the fight Saturday night at the MGM Grand hotel-casino.
A hospital spokeswoman said Johnson was pronounced dead at 4:23 p.m.
Johnson was put in a medically induced coma after undergoing brain surgery less than an hour after his fight with Chavez.
Doctors were initially unsure he would make it through the night, but the next day expressed cautious optimism after tests showed improvement in brain function.
A hospital spokeswoman said Johnson was pronounced dead at 4:23 p.m.
Johnson was defending the IBF title he won in June against Chavez, but took a' beating in the fight before finally being stopped by a flurry of punches in the 11th round.
He walked away from the ring, but on the way to the dressing room began showing signs of an injury. He was rushed to UMC, where neurosurgeon William Smith operated on him to
relieve pressure from a subdural hematoma, or bleeding on the brain.
His death follows the July 2 death of Mexican boxer Martin Sanchez, who died a day after he was knocked out by Rustam Nugaev of Russia in a super lightweight fight in Las Vegas.
That death was the fifth in the ring since 1994 in the city.
Before Sanchez died, two other fighters suffered brain injuries but survived after fights this year in Las Vegas.

"They're out to get us just for last year," Sauer said. "It was a big upset for them. So, they'll be out to get us, but we're going hard at them."
Texas A&M finished its preseason on a high-note, winning the Tennessee Lady Vol Classic last weekend.
In a two-game sweep, Texas A&M played the role of the predicted Big 12 winner.
The only time Kansas has defeated Texas A&M was last year on the Aggies' home field.
"For the people that have been here a while, we know a little more about the teams. There's a little bit bigger rivalry there." Smith said.
Last Friday, the squad defeated Washington 6-0 before shutting out Stanford 1-0 on Sunday.
So far this season Garey has notched 13 points on six goals and one assist.
Texas A&M sophomore forward Melissa Garey was named offensive MVP of the tournament after she scored two goals against Washington.

Spisak has allowed just two goals in seven games, with an average of .28 goals scored against her.
"We didn't let a goal in until we played Clemson last year, which I think was six or seven games," Smith said. "Then we let seven goals in the last five games. Anything can happen. With Spisak in goal, the Aggies have scored 18 goals while allowing just two."

That tidit certainly explains why schools such as Texas, Michigan, Ohio State and Florida seem to be on TV every week.

Loss doesn't steal homefield
MLB
BY JOE KAY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CINCINNATI - An uncharacteristic loss didn't stop St. Louis from improving its chances in the playoffs.
Edwin Encarnacion's bases-loaded double completed a five-run rally in the eighth inning that gave the Cincinnati Reds a 6-2 victory against the Cardinals last night.
Despite the loss, the NL Central champions clinched home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs when Atlanta lost earlier in the day. The Cardinals are trying to make it back to the World Series, where they were swept by Boston last year.
"It's not that big of a deal," said starter Matt Morris, who gave up one hit in six innings. "With two weeks left or however much time, we're not going to jump up and down over that. We knew the goal was attainable."
Morris was on the verge of snapping his four-game losing streak, the longest of his career, and the Cardinals were within five out of their 97th victory when their bullpen let a 2-1 lead get away.
Ryan Freel doubled for the Reds' only hit against Morris. Freel doubled again off Brad Thompson for the Reds' second hit in the eighth to start the comeback.
Felipe Lopez's single off Ray King (4-4) tied it, and the Reds loaded the bases with one out.
The Cardinals tried to turn a double play on Austin Kearns' grounder up the middle, but the relay by shortstop David Eckstein pulled first baseman Albert Pujols off the bag, letting in the go-ahead run. Encarcacion wrapped it up with his three-run double off Julian Tavares.
The Reds lead the NL with 206 homers, relying on them too much at times for the bulk of their offense. They ground this one out by just putting the ball in play.
"We played all-around good baseball today," Freel said. "That's what happens when you do the
little things. This is something to build on. We played small-ball today. The little things have to happen for us to win."
Todd Coffey (4-0) pitched one inning for the Reds, who are 10-22 against St. Louis during the last two seasons.
The bullpen's failure prevented Morris from becoming the fourth Cardinals starter to reach 15 wins.
joining Chris Carpenter, Mark Mulder and Jeff Suppan. The Cardinals' rotation leads the majors with 80 wins, four more than last year.
Morris gave up Ken Griffey Jr.'s 500th homer at Busch Stadium on June 20, 2004. Before the game Thursday, Griffey decided to end his season because of a sore foot. He'll have minor knee
surgery next week.
King, a left-hander who usually pitches late in games, also got the loss in the first game of the series. He hit a batter and gave up two hits in the seventh inning of Cincinnati's 6-5 victory on Tuesday.
"It was rough," manager Tony La Russa said. "It's not good enough. He's working on it, but the reality is you either do or you don't. He's got to figure it out. He's got to get back to what he did for us when he was efficient."
Left-hander Brandon Claussen failed in his attempt to become the first Reds pitcher to get 11 wins. He gave up Yadier Molina's RBI single in the second inning and Jim Edmonds' two-out, run-scoring double in the fifth. Claussen escaped further damage by retiring Reggie Sanders on a grounder with the bases loaded in the fifth.
Sanders, who returned from a broken bone in his leg on Sept. 12, played two games in the series and went 0-for-8.
Pujols went 0-for-3, dropping his average to .335, two points behind the Cubs' Derrek Lee for the NL lead.
Notes: As planned, OF Larry Walker got a cortisone shot for the hermiated disc in his neck
his fourth shot this season. Walker is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Walker missed 26 games because of the neck problem before returning on Aug. 20. ... With his fourth strikeout, Morris passed Jesse Haines and moved into fourth on the team's career list. ... Molina is 8-for-11 with runners in scoring position in September. ... Reds 1B Sean Casey is still sidelined by a concussion suffered last Friday in a collision at first base. "He is from time to time with physical activity getting some dizziness and loss of balance," trainer Mark Mann said. "He has yet to perform any baseball activity."

Dennis Quaid pledges to return to New Orleans for upcoming film
NEW ORLEANS — An impromptu meeting with the city's police chief ended with a pledge by Dennis Quaid to return to the hurricane-ravaged city for his next movie.
There's one catch, though: Police Superintendent Eddie Compass wants a walk-on role.
"Get me in there, brother, even if it's as an extra," Compass told Quaid as the two offered hugs and posed for pictures at the police staging area at Harrah's Casino on Tuesday.
"Quaid had been set to begin filming "Shame on You" in New Orleans later this year, but Hurricane Katrina scuttled those plans.
After arriving on a relief mission late Monday, Quaid said he's now determined to return to New Orleans to shoot the film, which he wrote and plans to direct.
"Can we get in here by Jan. 1?" he asked Compass. "If there's any way we can do it here, I want to do it here. This is the place that really needs it"
Quaid, 51, said he's had a soft spot for the city since starring in the 1987 film "The Big Easy."
"I've spent about a year of my life here between the four movies I've filmed," he told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans. "I can't imagine how devastated people must feel."
Kimmel offers apology for offensive remark during 2004 Super Bowl
DETROIT - Jimmy Kimmel, the late-nightTV host who said Detroit would burn if the Pistons won the 2004 NBA championship, is bringing his show to the Michigan city.
ABC plans to broadcast "Jimmy Kimmel Live" from downtown Detroit's Gem Theater during the week before the Super Bowl, set for Feb. 5 at Ford Field, said theater General Manager Jim Forbes.
Kimmel apologized soon after making the remark in a TV interview during halftime of Game 2 of the 2004 NBA Finals between the Pistons and the Los Angeles Lakers.
ABC spokeswoman Annie Fort refused to comment Tuesday on Kimmel's plans, but told The Detroit News that Kimmel's show aired live from the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ Getting clear of your responsibilities takes a major effort on your part. You wonder what exactly is going on with a boss or a certain someone you admire. Think: Are you being negative? Could that be the problem? Tonight: Don't count on getting home early.
***** Your mind isn't present, wherever you are. In fact, your fantasy life seems to take over. A stern comment might bring you back to reality. If you're an artist or are creative, let your imagination flow. Tonight: Your libido calls.
SCORPIQ (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ A family member is not revealing the true story. There is a strong possibility that even if he or she did, you would not quite hear it. Work and make plans on an individual level. You are better off with those who understand you. Tonight: Dinner for two.

many friends and new want-to-be pals. A relationship benefits as well. "New" might be difficult. Tonight: Go with already-made plans.
★★★ You might not be able to get through as much as you would like. Confusion surrounds a financial/work/ daily issue. You need to root out the problem before you relax. Get plenty of exercise, even during the day. Take a walk at lunch. Tonight: In your easy chair.
★★ You feel pushed and scattered to the utmost. You need to realize that you are very tired and probably feeling others' demands more profoundly than usual. Quit work early if need be. Tonight: How about a nap first? You need some downtime.

Admission to the games is free with a KU I.D.
The University of Kansas softball team will face its first opponents of the fall tomorrow in the Kansas Softball Invitational.
Kansas will play two games tomorrow at Arrocha Ballpark, one game each against Pittsburgh St. and Missouri Southern. The team will then match up against Rockhurst on Sunday and another team to be announced later.
Kansas' starting lineup is undecided, and this weekend's tournament will determine who will start early in the future, senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein said.
"Nobody's position is set in stone, and I think everybody likes that because there is somebody behind each one of us pushing us to get better everyday." Frankenstein said.
Senior infielder Jessica Moppin said the players knew the situation and competition for each spot was heating up.
"The coaches are going to have a difficult decision because everyone is playing well," she said.
A talented cast of freshmen will compete for starting positions. Freshman infielder Val Chapple will battle for the third base position while freshman Stevie Crisosto will play multiple positions in practice to see where she will fit in best.
"When you've got some new kids plugged into key positions, you've got to find each other and find out what their strengths and weaknesses are and then learn how to play with these
people," Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said. "And that's what the fall is all about."
Pittsburgh St. and Missouri Southern have new head coaches this season. Rockhurst is still in the developmental stages, in its second year.
"We're really going to have to bring our 'A' game and work hard, but they're going to be scrappy, and they could come up behind us," Frankenstein said.
Pittsburgh St. finished last season with a record of 57-26, while Missouri Southern didn't have as much success as they posted a 23-32 mark last year.
"I'm not really worried about the type of competition that we're playing or who we're playing," Bunge said. "We just want to go out and try to execute some things that we've been working on in practice."

Jayhawks come home to roost after victory

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After compiling an 8-0 record in eight matches at Horejsi Family Athletics Center, the Jahawks are looking forward to returning to the comforts of home tomorrow night against Baylor.
During the past two years, Kansas has compiled a record of 18-4 in its own gym.
The Jayhawks (10-2 overall, 2-1 Big 12) look to rebound from a loss in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday night to the Longhorns.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said that protecting home court was vital to the Jayhawks' success in the Big 12 this season.
full advantage of that."
"Obviously, in this conference every match is important," he said. "When you get a chance to play at home, you need to take
The Jayhawks used yesterday's practice to work out some kinks, and they will do the same today. Bechard said he was not happy with the way the Jayhawks defended against the Longhorns. He said they fell short of their side out goals, and allowed Texas to score off the serve.
Offensively, the Jayhawks had better balance. Bechard said it was important to make sure everyone was involved for Kansas to be less predictable in its attack.
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown said the loss to Texas was mostly because of Kansas miscues that could be corrected before the next game.
big things from ourselves."
"We're looking forward to coming back and working on a few things," Brown said. "We'll get them straightened out and expect
Baylor (9-4, 1-1) is coming off a loss at home to Iowa State on Wednesday. The Bears are led by Jim Barnes, who is in his second season coaching in Waco.
He guided the Bears to a 12-19 record last season, including a 4-16 mark in conference play. The Bears were picked to finish seventh this season by the league's coaches.
On the floor, junior middle blocker Desiree Guillard-Young was expected to pace the Bears attack, but a knee injury sidelined her for all but two games this season.
Junior outside hitter Nicole LeBlanc has assumed a leadership role in Guilliard-Young's absence. She leads the team with 3.89 kills per game. She is also averaging 2.87 digs and 0.53 blocks per game, both of which are leading statistics
for the team.
Most important for Baylor is its senior leadership. They have six on the roster, which is something that Bechard said would help them when they go into a road environment.
"Baylor is very experienced," he said. "I know they feel like they're an NCAA tournament type of team."
Bechard said it would be important for Kansas to forget about the loss to Texas before Saturday comes.
"With 20 matches in the Big 12, if you ponder too much on the last one it's going to affect the next one," he said. "We're going to have two good days of preparation, and we're going to give our very best effort against Baylor."

PARKING DEPARTMENT
Ticket payment standing still KUnited plans digital option
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Paying parking tickets online is not going to happen anytime soon.
Lending a hand
A plan by KUUnited to let students pay their tickets online is in the works, but probably won't take effect until next fall, said Donna Hultine, KU Parking Department director.
The Parking Department has run into stumbling blocks with getting a payment system on the Kvou portal. Hultine said.
The department has the software to let students and faculty pay tickets online, but issues with secure credit card payments have been slowing the process.
Students can currently pay tickets at the Parking Department, by mail or over the telephone with a credit card.
with KUnited last semester. He said the commission hasn't discussed the online payment system in its first two meetings, but would address it soon.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas,
senior, serves on the parking
commission and campaigned
KUnited put the issue on its platform because it thought the system was a simple, convenient thing students could use, Boots said.
"This is probably something that could be implemented rather easily," Boots said about that platform issue.
He said he got at least one parking ticket per semester, and had to take time out of his day to pay the ticket in person at the Parking Department, north of Allen Fieldhouse.
He said he would like to see the online payment system available next semester, but thought it could take longer.
Justin O'Neal/KANSAN
"If they're giving us good reasons why this is taking longer than expected, that's not a problem," Boots said.

Roger and Annette Rieger talk with guests during an open house that followed the dedication of Dennis E. Rieger Scholarship Hall on Saturday. The Rieger family pledged $3 million to build the hall, which is named after Roger's brother, Dennis, a 1967 graduate of the University. A portrait of Dennis hangs on the wall behind Roger and Annette.

KANSAN SCRIPT WRIFFER
A three-year wait for Roger and Annette Rieger ended Saturday morning when they took part in the dedication of Dennis E. Rieger Hall, 1323 Ohio St..
With about 100 family members, friends, students and Lawrence residents in attendance, the Riegers expressed their desire to build a diverse community and preserve the memory of Roger's brother, Dennis E. Rieger.

Annette Rieger said helping build the University's 11th scholarship hall and sixth women's scholarship hall was even more rewarding than she had expected.

"The commitment of the University, to use the scholarship hall and the scholarship hall system to promote economic and racial diversity is better than we ever expected," she said.

Michelle Tran, Derby junior and president of Rieger Hall, said the makeup of the residents in the hall reflects the diversity that the Riegers have strived to accomplish.
Dennis Rieger graduated from the University in 1972 with a political science degree and earned his a masters in business administration in 1974.
She said the hall, which has 50 residents, houses women from all across the country as well as international students.
Roger Rieger, 1967 graduate, said the hall was also a way to preserve the memory of his brother who died of diabetes at the age of 47.
Roger Rieger said his brother wasn't a famous athlete or a well-known business executive, but having a building in his honor or would preserve his memory.
"Everyone has amazing stories. We come from all different backgrounds." she said.
"His name will be spoken as long as this beautiful building stands," he said.

Diversity on campus increases More minorities enroll at KU, figures still lag behind state

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
U. S. resident minority enrollment African Americans Native Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans rose 117 students from 3,420 in Fall 2004 to 3,537 in Fall 2005.
Minority enrollment has risen at the University of Kansas again this semester, though it remains disproportionate to the population of Kansas.
Since 2003, minorities have comprised 10 percent or more of the student population, and the numbers have steadily in-
work in industrial and agricultural plants.
But Roney said the numbers reflect hard work and not any demographic shift.
"It's not by chance those numbers are going up," Roney said.

creased. Minorities comprise 11.9 percent of this year's campus population. They make up 15 percent of the population of the state of Kansas.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, said that progress had been made but there was still room for improvement.
"Although the percentages are growing for minorities, when you walk down Jayhawk Boulevard, you will see predominately that it is a white campus."
Part of the increase in minorities can be attributed to the general increase in minority populations throughout the nation and in the state, especially in the southwest corner of the state, where many Hispanics
ents continually pushed him to attend college.
"My parents wanted us to go to college because they have worked so hard and they wanted it easier for us," Gonzalez said. "My dad is 55 and still working in the feed yard."
Part of the University's success in recruiting minority students is
due to informational sessions for prospective students.
In 2000, the Multicultural Student Recruitment Board was established to tie together minority recruitment programs across campus and to coordinate efforts among the admissions office and the various schools and departments.
The board drafted the Multicultural Student Recruitment Plan, which outlines recruiting efforts. It promotes focusing on community-based recruitment, providing transportation for campus visits, creating more scholarships for minorities and facilitating personal contact with current minority students.

Show, which travels around the state, and a program started this spring that targets Hispanics in Dodge City and Garden City are two examples of board's initiatives.
Roney said it was due to programs for current students as well as the efforts of individual staff members, like Santos Nunez, coordinator of the Multicultural Resource Center and Robert N. Page Jr., director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, who helped bring minorities to the University.
Simon #James, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, is an engineering major who received a minority scholarship from the School of Engineering. He came to Kansas mostly because of Page, who is a family friend, he said.
"I wasn't sure where I wanted to go, but with Robert Page, I knew I would have a role model and someone to look out for me if I came to KU," James said.
Page said no one could take full credit for the University's success, but that everyone involved had a part.

Sept. 26, 1949 - The Hill Co-op
Few graduate and undergraduate students today have time to attend classes, study and renovate their own residence. On a similar day 56 years ago, however a dozen students did exactly that
in any 50 years ago, however, a dozen students did exactly that. An abandoned horse barn turned automobile garage at 1539 Tennessee St. became a cooperative men's residence hall — later called the Hill Co-op — after the 12 student renovated it and moved in. The students repaired the roof, installed plumbing, filled holes with bricks and mortar and even added windows and doors, according to the KU History Project's Web site.
The idea of transforming the barn into a residence co-op started with Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and chairman of the University Housing Board. An upsurge in the number of students had made residences hard to find during the post-World War I housing shortage. Since the 1960s, however, an apartment complex has replaced the Hill Co-op, Albert Roland, one of the first co-op residents, wrote in the 1949-1950 "jayhawker" yearbook that students encountered some difficulties during renovation. One student wanted to paint his desk green in a room with blue walls. Roland also mentioned a graduate student in economics asked for payment to work the draw draperies in his room. Roland also wrote others desired "this manifestation of speculative greed."
Despite these complications, cooperation and teamwork helped the process considerably. In the end, The University Daily Kansan reported in 1949, the students-turned-renovators followed a slogan by one of their residents: "When in doubt, paint it maroon."
The football team first chose to wear crimson and blue uniforms. Before this, the University of Kansas athletic board had chosen crimson as the athletic color. At the time, several people protested these changes. One individual even wrote a letter of protest to The Kansan University Weekly in October 1896: "The Kansas University color is crimson, and we will not suffer the other combination to be thrust down our throat."
Sept. 27, 1896 - "The Yellow and the Blue"?
The Kansan University Weekly on Oct. 17, 1896, wrote as a response to the letter that the official school colors were "sky blue and corn yellow, as displayed on the authorized University pin." Robert Taft, however, in his book "The Years on Mount Oread" wrote that sky blue and corn yellow soiled easily when used in football and baseball games. Crimson lost its popularity when insinuations arose that the University was trying to imitate Harvard, which also used that color. After consideration, the athletic board decided to change from just crimson to blue and
Eventually, crimson and blue seeped into popular opinion and even the University's Alma Mater, which changed its chorus from "Yellow and the Blue" to the version sung today.
Sept. 29,1944-Freshmen Caps
The University Daily Kansan reported in 1932 that failure to wear the cap could result in "a paddling and a dirobing in Potter lake."
First-year students faced an extra requirement beyond mapping campus and attending classes. They had to wear freshman caps. University Daily Kansan reported in 1932 that failure to wear
The Men's Student Council, senior honor society Sachems and the varsity sports' K-Club often enforced these punishments, according to the KU History Project's Web site. George Dick, the president of the K-Club, announced discharged veterans from World War II would be required to wear freshman caps. The All Student Council would abolish these caps on April 7. 1948.
Tradition required freshmen to wear these caps the day before each football game and on the day of the game, the Kansan reported. This would continue until the last football game of the year. The caps had to display red and blue ribbons 12 inches long, although the newspaper wrote that fresher干脏了 such a "sissy" touch to their badge of unsophisticated."
Once World War II veterans entered the University as nontraditional freshmen, however, paddling and dipping became unenforceable, according to the KU History Project's Web site. Although other University traditions before that era have survived, such as the Rock Chalk Chant, the Kansan did not report any freshman objections when this custom ended.
Another storm roars ashore
Students worry about families
HURRICANE RITA
BY FRANK TANKKAND
fankand@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
They had seen Hurricane Katrina on TV, in newspapers and on the Internet and, like the rest of the nation, their hearts went out to the devastated communities.
Many were relieved when the center of the hurricane missed Houston and made landfall closer to the Texas/Louisiana border as a Category 3 hurricane early Saturday morning,
"That's where I grew up," said Cornelius Brown, a senior originally from League City, Texas, southeast of Houston. "You see it on the news, but it doesn't really hit you until it hits where you live."
But when the 47 students from southeastern Texas saw that Hurricane Rita was heading for Houston and the Texas/Louisiana border, the KU students from those areas — 46 from the Houston area and one from Galveston, Texas — felt a little different.
WOLF'S MANAGE OF FIRE
One death related to the hurricane was reported as of yesterday afternoon.

Far from the hurricane's eye, in Belzoni, Miss., a tornado formed, killing a man.
Students from the Texas coast said that the worst part was knowing that if something happened — if their homes were destroyed and their families were hurt — they wouldn't be there to help.
"That was the thing that bothered me the most," said Leah Lindelow, Houston sophomore, "That I wasn't there and didn't know what was going on."
The hurricane caused more flooding in New Orleans and other areas hit by Katrina, which was more bad news for DeMarco Smith.

He thinks his grandparents are in Atlanta — he hasn't talked with them — and his brother is with his girlfriend and their baby in Houston, "living in and out of hotels," he said. He said he was trying to get his brother to move to Lawrence.

Elvig said her friend was safe with her family in Tyler, Texas.
Eric Lefkowitz, Houston sophomore, was relieved that his family and relatives — who stayed in Houston — weren't hurt.
"At first when I heard about it, I thought it was going to do the same thing as Katrina," he said. "We got lucky."

Houston back in business after storm
HURRICANE RITA
BY KRISTEN HAYS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Airlines resumed service and cars flowed easily over freeways as Houston flickered back to life yesterday, avoiding at least for now a repeat of the gridlock that plagues the evacuation before Hurricane Rita.
There were signs the eerie emptiness was lifting in the nation's fourth-largest city. More gas stations offered fuel, and supermarkets, drug stores and restaurants opened their doors.
At Pappa Seafood, a sign read,
"Come on in, open at 11. Incredible!"
The marquee at Kennely's
Irish Pub read: "Rita who?"
"I was without power yesterday for about five hours, but now that it's back on, I'm hungry and need some beef," said Yvette Gatling, a 34-year-old lawyer.
"Our people are tired of the state's plan. They have a plan too, and it's real simple: They plan to come home when they want."
A supermarket near downtown was open, even though no produce was expected to arrive until tomorrow, and the packaged meat and dairy aisles were depleted. Still, the store was bustling within 15 minutes.
John Willy
Brazoria County official
It was the first day of a staggered re-entry plan drawn up by authorities in hopes of avoiding a recurrence of the massive gridlock that stalled freeways and temporarily stranded some Houstonians as they fled days before Rita.
Only the northwest quadrant of the city was encouraged to return yesterday, but cars were streaming back to other parts of the metropolis as well.
good people to come home," said John Willy, the top elected official in Brazoria County, along the Gulf Coast. "That is ridiculous."
"Our people are tired of the state's plan," he added. "They have a plan too, and it's real simple: They plan to come home when they want."
"I am not going to wait for our neighbors to the north to get home and take a nap before I ask our
Traffic appeared to be moving smoothly.
Meanwhile, the city's two main airports, Bush Intercontinental and the smaller Hobby, resumed service yesterday morning. They were shut down Friday as Rita bore down on the Gulf Coast.
Continental Airlines, based in Houston, was operating 249 flights out of the city, with plans to restore its smaller Continental Express and Continental Connection branches today.
"We've got the gas. People just need to be patient," Mendoza said. "I'm thinking of filling up myself, but all I need to do is top off, because I planned ahead." Four 5-gallon gas cans sat in the back of his pickup truck.
More gas stations opened, with lines of motorists eager to tank up snaking around blocks.
Groundskeeper Frank Mendoza, 64, was mowing grass in front of a building next to a Ciggo station where lines were getting longer as a tanker truck resupplied the pumps with fuel.
Fuel shortages posed perhaps the biggest challenge to the massive exodus ahead of the storm. Cars were marooned on the main freeways out of town, and buses had to deliver evacuees to shelters.
Houston Mayor Bill White urged essential employees to return to work in the city yesterday, including people who work at grocery stores and gas stations.
At a supermarket in east Houston, Al Davis shopped for food with his wife and two children.
Employees had already removed plywood used to cover the market's windows and pushed it on a cart to the back of the store as people shopping.
Davis was scheduled to return Monday to his job as a letter carrier. Yesterday he planned to stay home.

'Helicopter parents' cope with empty nest
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The first voice Madhu Aruna-
Manoharan hears in the morning is
her mother's, and it is the last voice
she hears before she goes to sleep
each night.
The Topeka freshman got used to this practice last summer when she took summer classes at the University. She also talks to her mother during the day about anything from money to classes. Aruna-Manoharan's relationship with her mother wasn't always like this, she said. In high school her parents were not as interested in how she was doing and did not talk to her as frequently.
"They're probably lonely without me," she said.
Aruna-Manoharan's parents are not the only ones who started keeping close tabs on their children once
they leave the nest to go to college. They are part of the growing trend of "helicopter parents," parents who "hover" around their children.
"Helicopter parents" are convinced their child deserves special treatment from the University, said Frank DeSalvo, director of Counseling and Psychological Services and interim dean of students. They can become angry at KU administration, faculty and staff for not treating their child well enough.
These parents' attention can be positive because they are "very strong advocates for their sons and daughters," DeSalvo said. They can also have a genuine concern that their children can't take care of themselves, and they are simply doing what they think they need to do.
While "helicopter parents" are not limited to parents of college students, they can become a bigger problem in college because parents no longer have legal control over
Parents have no legal right to information about their children once they turn 18. This means they aren't allowed to demand their children's grades, pay for tuition without permission from the student, and get information from student housing.
DeSalvo said limiting access to personal information does not solve the parents' problem, but only makes it worse. The legal restriction doesn't change parents' minds but instead makes them more convinced that they should know what their child is doing and have a say in what their child does, he said.
their children.
"Even if that is the case because they are paying tuition, information can still not be given out," he said.
The Department of Student Housing and the Office of Admissions and Scholarships report that they receive daily calls from parents, asking for information about their children
that the offices can't give out freely. Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing, said she always tells the parents to ask their children directly for information.
DeSalvo said when he encountered problems with parents, he tried to remind them that their children are adults and should be able to take care of themselves.
"It's important for the parents to understand that and act accordingly." DeSalvo said.
DeSalvo said during new student orientation in the summer. there is always a parent who asks who is responsible for getting her child up for class.
For Aruna-Manoharan, it's her mother who provides the daily wake-up call, but Aruna-Manoharan has learned to appreciate keeping in touch.

Robotic machines take on speed for money prize
BY ALICIA CHANG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Wanted by the Pentagon: A muscular, outdoorsy specimen. Must be intelligent and, above all, self-driven.
When 20 hulking robotic vehicles face off next month in a rugged race across the Nevada desert, the winning machine (if any crosses the finish line) will blend the latest technological bling and the most smarts.
The military sponsors the race to speed the development of unmanned vehicles for combat. The project had an inauspicious start: Last year's inaugural contest ended soon after it began when the robots careered off course or abruptly stalled. One even got tangled in barbed wire.
Fast forward 18 months, and double the prize to $2 million.
OAT
Newcomers have joined a handful of last year's teams to form a motley
mix of garage tinkerers, academia and corporations. All hope that their machines — fitted with the latest sensors, cameras and computers — have aged a generation since last year.
Teams have beefed up their vehicles' artificial intelligence through improved computer algorithms that will help them avoid pitfalls such as ditches and boulders strewn across the roughly 150-mile-long course. To get there, the robots must compete in a semifinal showdown that starts Wednesday.
Entrants include several converted SUVs, souped-up passenger sedans, a modified all-terrain vehicle, a behemoth military truck and even a motorcycle.

This year's race shows signs of being extremely competitive. Some vehicles have logged hundreds of self-guided miles in the Southwest desert during summer practice runs. Several even tested on last year's

course, which spanned the Mojave Desert between Barstow, Calif., and Primm, Nev.
The ramped-up preparation reflects the higher stakes for the so-called Grand Challenge. While
sweetening the purse, organizers promise that the course, which this year loops from and to a casino town on the Nevada-California border called Primm, will be tougher and meaner.

Vice President Cheney recovering from surgery to repair aneurysms
WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney had successful surgery on Saturday to repair aneurysms on the back of both knees and was alert and comfortable after the six-hour procedure, his spokesman said.
Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was under local anesthesia during the surgery at George Washington University Hospital.
"He will remain in the hospital for up to 48 hours to monitor his recovery. He is expected to resume a regular schedule when he is released to home," said Steve Schmidt, counselor to the vice president.
After the operation, Cheney was "awake, alert, comfortable," Schmidt said.

PROTEST
Few turn out for troop rally
Freedom is not Free!
Evan Vucci/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ryan Bowman, Philadelphia, holds a sign on the National Mall in support of U.S. troops fighting abroad yesterday in Washington. Anti-war demonstrators protested across the street.
BY ELISABETH GOODRIDGE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Support for U.S. troops fighting abroad mixed with anger toward anti-war demonstrators at home as hundreds of people, far fewer than organizers had expected, rallied yesterday on the National Mall just a day after a massive protest against the war in Iraq.
"No matter what your ideals are, our sons and daughters are fighting for our freedom," said Marilyn Faatz, who drove from New Jersey to attend the rally. "We are making a mockery out of this. And we need to stand united, but we are not."
About 400 people gathered near a stage on an eastern segment of the mall, a large patchwork American flag serving as a backdrop.
Many demonstrators focused their ire at Cindy Sheehan, the California woman whose protest near President Bush's Texas home last summer galvanized the anti-war movement.
Sheehan was among the speakers at Saturday's rally near the Washington Monument on the western part of the mall, an event that attracted an estimated 100,000 people.
"The group who spoke here
the other day did not represent the American ideals of freedom, liberty and spreading that around the world," Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican, told the crowd. "I frankly don't know what they represent, other than to blame America first."
One sign on the mall read "Cindy Sheehan doesn't speak for me" and another "Arrest, the traitors"; it listed Sheehan's name first among several people who have spoken against the war.
Melody Vigna, 44, of Linden, Calif., said she wants nothing to do with Sheehan and others at nearby Camp Casey, an anti-war site set up to honor her son, Casey, who was killed in Iraq.
"Our troops are over there fighting for our rights, and if she was in one of those countries she would not be able to do that," Vigna said.
The husband of Sherri Francescon, 24, of Camp Lejeune, N.C., serves in the Marine Corps in Iraq.
One of the many military wives who spoke during the rally, Francescon said that the anti-war demonstration had left her frustrated.
"I know how much my husband does and how hard he works, and I feel like they don't even recognize that and give him the respect he deserves," Francescon said. "I want him to know and I want his unit to know that America is behind them, Cindy doesn't speak for us, and that we believe in what they are doing."

Boeing spokesman Charles Bickers said the company believed the deal is a fair compromise that puts more emphasis on things that matter.
Airbus is ahead on deliveries so far this year, with 216 planes delivered as of the end of July compared with 179 for Boeing.
"The total cost to Boeing is similar to the previous contract offer and meets our definition of a reasonable settlement," said Alan Mulally, head of Boeing's commercial airplanes division.
Pension payouts for union members would increase to $70 per month for every year served, up from $60 currently; the previous offer was $66. The company also agreed to continue retire medical benefits for new hires, Blondin said.
Blondin conceded Sunday that the union had hoped for a higher increase to pension payouts than is in the tentative agreement, but he said the fact that health care
There would be no general wage increase, but workers would receive an 8 percent signing bonus, or about $5,000, plus $3,000

Bunny viciously murdered
Being drunk excuses many actions, like falling down a flight of stairs or calling an ex, for instance. It does not, however, excuse throwing someone's pet off of a third story balcony.
My bunny was taken out of her cage and thrown over the balcony the other week while I was out of town, by a guy who claimed he was too drunk to know what he was doing, according to a letter he sent me. In the letter, he also he said, "I don't know, I just wanted to kill it."
On September 28, that guy will go to court and emerge with little more than a slap on the wrist.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, Kansas is only one of nine states that don't consider animal cruelty, no matter how severe, a felony. In fact, according to Kansas law, the maximum penalty for someone convicted of animal cruelty is one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
In another shocking case of animal cruelty in Wichita, a puppy, named Magnum, was found in a trash can with his front legs bound to his face, sporting a broken leg and covered in acid.
After futile rescue attempts, Magnum didn't live, and the fury of the public has caused two Kansas state senators, Phil Journey and Carolyn McGinn, to draft a bill, dubbed "Magnum's Bill," that would make animal cruelty a felony.
Legally, Kansas considers animal cruelty to be "when a person intentionally kills, injures, maims, tortures, mutilates any animal, or if that person abandons, or having physical custody of the animal, fails to provide such food, potable water, protection from the elements, opportunity for exercise and other care as is needed for the health or well-being of such kind of animal."

Recent discoveries that Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, frequently abused animals in his childhood has caused a larger awareness that hurting animals isn't just wrong, it's a sign that something isn't right unstairs.
In the August 1999 edition of Minnesota's Public Health Report, Michael Robin, M.S.W., wrote, "...persistent and extreme cruelty to animals in childhood suggests serious psychopathology.
Children who are cruel and sadistic to animals are at great risk of becoming increasingly violent, as they get older. The DSM-IV cites physical cruelty to animals as one of the 13 diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder."
The report also introduced a study by the FBI in the late 1970s of 36 convicted murderers, of which half claimed they maimed or tortured animals in their adolescence. When I get drunk, I tend to make a fool of myself and tell everyone how much I love them, not intentionally hurt their pets over a third-story balcony just for kicks.
blaming such a heinous action on being drunk.
It is appalling and disgusting that someone can even think of
I'm not a vegetarian. I wear leather and I love a good steak, and honestly, until this incident, I never knew that Kansas won't consider animal cruelty a felony.
But now that I do know, I'm sickened by those in Topeka that let these head cases off on animal cruelty charges with nothing more than a misdemeanor.
I understand that evolution in schools is a much bigger issue at Kansas' capitol than animal cruelty punishments, but maybe instead of focusing on a religious debate that makes us the laughingstock of the United States, we should petition to have our tax dollars be spent on something more worthwhile, like harser punishments for offenders who exhibit characteristics of serial killers.
Will Magnum's bill get passed? Will the man who killed my pet suffer more than a citation?
I'd like to say its up to you, but, unfortunately, the will of the people doesn't always get represented in the government.
You can join the Magnum force at 1053thebuzz.com, or e-mail senator Phil Journey at journey@senate.state.ks.us. Unlike humans, pets can give you unconditional love, and I think we take that for granted sometimes.
Sure, Coco was just a bunny, but she was my bunny, and I loved her even though all she did was eat, sleep and poop.
Think about that the next time your puppy chews up your favorite Steve Maddens, or when your cat shreds the term paper you stayed in Thursday night to finish.
And when I sat there, staring at the empty cage, I forgot about the time she peed in my lap, or when she ran under my bed and refused to come out until she had shred a good square foot of carpet.
None of those bad things mattered anymore because I had taken on a responsibility to take care of her, and I had let her down. Before I could realize how much I would miss her, she was gone.

▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
AEC should let students take classes
Let's talk about international students.
I think most of the students at the University don't know that the Applied English Center, AEC, is for international students who have just arrived in the United States and the University of Kansas.
They don't speak English well and cannot catch what people say.
So usually people who just arrived in America and don't have any other study abroad experience take some AEC classes.
Some of them even have to take all three of the classes, which are grammar, listening and speaking and writing, which also means that they cannot take other KU classes.
I talked to a Japanese guy who is taking all of the AEC classes. He said he was trying to learn English so hard, but still, he doesn't have many chances to talk to Americans.
Because all of his classmates are international students, and they are in the same level class, how can they improve?
He tries to go to parties, bars or clubs every weekend.
But even when he goes to parties, he goes with Japanese
students or other international students, and he ends up speaking Japanese after he's had a few drinks.
I remembered my own experience with AEC. Last year at this time, I was like those new international students, new to America and always confused about what people were saying, even though I thought my English was good when I was in China.
So I took three AEC classes, which were 16 credit hours, and I was not allowed to take other KU classes.
I was trying my best to know more American students and to practice my English. I wished I could take at least one KU class, because that would help my English. I talked to the AEC chancellors, but they just didn't allow me to do so.
I was really worried because although my classes were level four classes which are the highest level except the level to graduate, I still felt like those classes were too easy.
The teachers were good, but classes were too easy compared to the AEC English test. I was like the Japanese guy. I knew only how to speak English to international students.
At the end of the semester,
I passed the exam, but there
were still so many people who
didn't pass or just partially
passed.
They still had to take AEC classes and threw their money at the University.
So I started to take KU
classes last semester. I thought because I passed AEC, I would have no problem with KU classes, but I couldn't catch up with what my teachers said the first day.
My roommate, a Japanese girl who just passed AEC, had the same problem as me.
Because we didn't understand what professors were talking about, we had to take
"I thought because I passed the AEC, I would have no problems with KU classes, but I couldn't catch up with what my teachers said the first day."
our recorders and record the whole lecture, and organize the lecture after we got home.
I didn't know what AEC was used for. I spent a whole semester there and lots of money (one credit is equal to one credit of KU international student's tuition, which is more than $400). I took five classes last semester and I felt panic.
I know AEC helps some students, but I want to encourage it to please use different policies for students on different levels! If I could have taken even one KU class in the first semester, my listening skills would have improved a lot.
I couldn't help thinking, "Why do they speak so fast?" AEC teachers didn't speak that fast!"
I would have known how American people were talking and it would have been much easier for me last semester.
Most of the students here are adults. We know what we are doing. If we really think we can not handle it, we will drop it. And it is much better than going to parties, getting drunk and learning nothing.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Want change? Take it to the streets
With the firestorm of rhetoric and the enigmatic smiles of politicians it is easy to mistake electioneering for activism, but we must make this mistake no more.
The average politician or young party member seeks not to change the world but to place himself in a position of power. The Democrats lost an election by running a "peace" candidate that criticized the way Republicans ran the war.
Do we really expect Democrats to end a war when their rallying cry is "We would like the opportunity to do this differently?"
Writing to a Congressman will not end a war. It will merely ensure you a typed letter of thanks and a continuation of policy. The only way to end a war is to pour into the streets and end it with a public outcry so great the powerful have no choice but to listen.

Sebelius campaign in stealth mode
BY JOHN HANNA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is running for re-election next year, but the first-term Democrat isn't ready to acknowledge it publicly.
She remains coy about when her campaign will kick off, but her administration is testing themes for next year's advertising: The governor is committed to better schools, the governor is working to grow the state's economy, the governor is making state government more efficient.
Consider an August statement from her office that began, "Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is committed to strengthening our schools and believes sharing ideas and innovations with other states benefits Kansas kids and schools."
How pervasive is the spin?
Following that puffery was announcement of Sebelius' appointment of two people to the Education Commission of the States.
"She's doing all those things people do when they're running for re-election," said Allan Cigler, a University of Kansas political scientist. "They're doing some testing as to what the campaign agenda should be."
Sebelius recently found herself confronted with a minor embarrassment because of the liberal, Washington-based Emily's List, which helps Democrats support abortion rights, such as New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It quoted Sebelius on its Web site announcing her re-election bid, although she had not officially made such an announcement. The group later eliminated the statement, though it still fawns over Sebelius as "one thing that is definitely right about Kansas."
"There'll be plenty of time for talk of politics and campaigns in the months ahead," Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Coco-
ran said. "But, for now, she is as focused as ever on the challenges of growing our economy, strengthening our public schools, and keeping Kansas safe and secure."
It's common, of course, for seasoned politicians such as Sebelius to pretend they aren't running when, in fact, they're in campaign mode. She wants to control the announcement and undoubtedly will schedule what amounts to a queen's triumphant progress before adoring crowds in cities throughout her realm. But there are other considerations, too.
"Let her stay above the fray; it's an incumbent's preogative to try and stay above it as long as possible," said Jennifer Duffy, the managing editor of The Cook Political Report in Washington. "Once you really start running, then everything you do is viewed through this political lens, which is a difficult way to govern."
Republicans watched U.S.
Rep. Jerry Moran take a pass on
the race, followed by Secretary of
State Ron Thornburgh and State
Treasurer Lynn Jenkins, leaving
Kansas House Speaker Doug
Mays as the biggest candidate left
Also, Sebelius may not need to have an active-looking campaign vet to reassure her backers.
— facing the hurdles of building statewide name recognition and overcoming moderate distaste for his conservative leanings.
The Cook report so far sees the race as a likely Democratic victory — one that could be competitive but isn't now.
Finally, testing themes and building a positive image are smart. Cigler said, as long as the message remains vague, and a little bland.
That means, for example, having Sebelius talk about her desire for strong schools, without mentioning her doomed 2004 plan for phasing in $300 million-plus worth of tax increases.

Gruver, 33, collapsed on the street near his home July 27 and died at a hospital. An autopsy could not determine the cause of death.
Randy Phillips, Tallgrass board president, said a shorter festival this year will allow it to come back in full force next year.
"We looked at trying to pick up the pieces after Tim's passing and do a full festival," Phillips said.
"But, quite honestly, that would probably have been a formula for failure. Tim had so many of the plans still in his head. It would have been worse for us to try."
The festival will begin with a fundraiser the evening of Oct. 21, followed by a full day of screenings and discussions with filmmakers from Los Angeles and New York on Saturday, Oct. 22. Past festivals have gone four days.
the minifest, dubbed "Shortgrass" by Lela Mezdow of Chicago, who has produced the festival since the beginning, will also feature a brunch with filmmakers, presentation of the Ad Astra Award and a closing gala.
"So many people enjoyed them before that we feel that the community deserves to have a film festival, even if it is short," she said.

Hultine said students should be able to buy their parking permits next fall online.
Staff and faculty were able to buy parking passes online through a payroll Web site last spring. The permits were mailed
Because students change addresses and freshmen often don't know where they will be living until close to the beginning of the school year, mailing the permits could pose a problem.
Faculty and staff are a smaller population and have more stable home addresses so they were able to buy permits online first, Hultine said.
Staff from the department are meeting with KU information services next week to discuss using Kyou to pay tickets online.
Hultine said she hoped that the department would know more about what kind of parking payment services would be available on the Kyou after the meeting.
As of now, students can only view parking holds on the portal.

"We come away with a loss, but there is no doubt in anyone that watched this game that we were the better team," senior forward Caroline Smith said. "If they are supposed to be the best team in the Big 12 then we've definitely got some good stuff to show this year."
Kansas players maintain their pride and continue to look forward to the rest of the season despite a 1-0 victory against Baylor and a 3-2 loss to No. 14 Texas A&M this past weekend.
The Jayhawks edged the Baylor Bears in their first Big 12 Conference contest on Friday before dropping a toss-up match yesterday afternoon to the Texas A&M Aggies, who were picked first in the pre-season Big 12 coaches poll.
Although Texas A&M racked up eight shots on goal to Kansas' six shots — split between two Jayhawks — Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis was happy with his team's effort.
"A&M is one of the best teams in the Big 12," Francis said. "I told our guys you're not going to play anybody this year better than them. And I thought we played very evenly with them and, at times, outplayed them."
Kansas never held a lead in the match, as both goals came from behind to tie. An overtime period looked certain before the Aggies ended the game with less than three minutes to play.
The Aggies seemed to control the game's tempo, as well as the location of the ball in the beginning of the match. As the game continued, however, the pace shifted toward the lav Hawks' control.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, with the bases loaded, senior infielder Jessica Moppin was hit by a pitch, forcing in the winning run.
The Kansas softball team went undefeated this weekend and won the Kansas Softball Invitational.
Strong pitching helped the Jayhawks earn a 4-0 record for the weekend.
On Saturday, Kansas defeated both Pittsburg State and Missouri Southern, with the second victory being more convincing than the first.
In game one, senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys pitched five solid innings, allowing only one hit and one run while striking out seven batters.
Freshman pitcher Valerie George took over for Humphreys and pitched three perfect innings.
Moppin, Kansas' all-time home run leader, set the tone for the game when she blasted a pitch over the left field wall in
"Val George came in and did a great job as a freshman. I was pretty pleased with the pitching staff overall," Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said.
Kansas' bats came alive in the second game of the day as it pounded Missouri Southern 7-0.
Offensively, the Jayhawks had no trouble getting on base, but they couldn't manage to drive in any runs in the early part of the game.
Kansas left 10 runners on base through seven innings.
Pittsburg State led Kansas the entire game until Kansas tied the score in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Freshman infielder Val Chappe hit a double off the top of the wall, barely missing a home run.
She eventually scored, and the game was sent into extra innings tied 1-1.

Senior pitcher Serena Settlemier struck out 11 of the 12 batters she faced before George relieved her in the fifth inning.
Settlemier's bat complemented her pitching, as she collected two hits and one run.
George finished the game without giving up a hit, ending the first day of her college softball career in impressive fashion.
"I was anxious to get out there and just try to get my first game out of the way. But it feels really good now and I'm really excited," George said.
George wasn't the only freshman who had a successful debut.

As the Jayhawks struggled to close out the match in game three, their 29-25 advantage turned into a 30-29 Baylor lead. Kansas regained focus, though, and scored the next three points to win 32-30 and send Baylor to the bus with its second straight conference loss.
Kansas improved to 11-2 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play. Baylor fell to 9-5 and 1-2.
The Kansas volleyball team defeated Baylor 3-0 Saturday night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, despite playing sluggishly at time.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he thought the Jayhawks lacked focus for much of the match.
"We were lucky to get out of here in three," he said. "If you can win 5-0 in this league without your best effort from a technical standpoint or an energy standpoint, you're pretty fortunate."
The Jayhawks were led by junior outside hitter Jana Correa. She had 13 kills and eight digs despite suffering an ankle injury. She rolled her ankle at the net after going up for a shot and coming down on it awkwardly.
After the match, Corraea said she was fine and would be ready to play against Texas Tech Wednesday night in Lubbock.
Junior libero Jaime Mathewson had her best match of the season. She had 19 digs, which led all players and tied her career high. Bechard said her energy was vital to the Jayhawks' victory.
In game one, Kansas and Baylor went back and forth. There were 11 ties in the frame, and the Jayhawks emerged with a 31-29 victory. Kansas hit just .190, but Baylor could not take advantage. The Bears posted a .159 attack percentage with 11 errors.

Offensive line adjusts to departed veterans improves on last year

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas' offensive line has dealt with the loss of one of its key components each of the last two seasons.
After the 2004 season, it was center Joe Vaughn. The year before, it was offensive tackle Adrian Jones. Jones is now with the New York Jets of the NFL.
Vaughn was the Big 12 Conference newcomer of the year after the 2003 season. Despite the losses, this season's offensive line has been successful. Senior quarterback Brian Luke has had plenty of time to find his receivers, and the running backs have been able to find plenty of holes.
The line has helped running backs Clark Green and Jon Cornish average more than four yards per carry, this season, after struggling to open holes for a rushing attack that averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, last season.
"They did a good job producing the running game and the passing game," Green said after the season-opening victory when he ran for 107 yards. "Their defensive line did a lot
of twists. We did a good job of picking up on that."
In turn, the improved running game has opened up the passing attack. The offensive line has allowed just three sacks this season. Last season Kansas lost nearly all of its quarterbacks to injuries after they were sacked.
"It's not necessarily we're proud of one aspect, but you have to take a look at what you are doing right and not take a look at what you are doing wrong; you're not going to improve," Ochoa said. "There's always a game coming up that you have to improve for."
Much of the success up front has been due to Ochoa. He became the team's center in training camp after numerous players tried out for the job.
While the offensive line has performed well, Ochoa still thinks that the line can do more.
"There's always room to improve at offensive line, whether its running game or passing game," Ochoa said.
Ochoa hopes to continue that progress in the conference opener Saturday night at Texas Tech.

Two vets lead Patriots to victory against tough Steelers squad
PITTSBURGH — Don't write off the New England Patriots after one loss.The Super Bowl champions were good enough to beat what coach Bill Belichick called the NFL's best team on the road with backups, a patched-up defense and good old determination.
Oh, yes, and with Tom Brady and Adam Vinatieri, too.
The Patriots, badly depleted by injuries, withstood the longest scoring pass play against them in 15 years and two turnovers inside the Pittsburgh 10 to rally in the fourth quarter behind Brady and beat the Steelers 23-20 yesterday on Vinatieri's last-second. 43-vard field goal.
New England was within one play of winning when Chad Scott was called for pass interference against Quincy Morgan on a fourth-and-11 play from the Steelers' 27.

Yesterday's game between Kansas and Texas A&M showed why both teams were co-Big 12 regular season champions last season.
The Aggies, led by forward Melissa Garey's three goals, defeated Kansas 3-2 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

He said the team made huge strides during the game as far as the level Kansas was capable of playing.

Editor's Note — The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas football writers, as well as Kellis Robinett, sports editor, and Eric Sorrentino, associate sports editor.
With only five Big 12 teams in action last weekend, there wasn't much ground to be made up or lost in this week's Big 12 Rankings.
Most teams with a bye stayed in a position similar to last week, but Baylor did suffer because of its week off.
Baylor didn't receive a single last place vote, but the four teams that did — Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Nebraska — each had voters rank them as high as eighth, while Baylor's highest vote
After avoiding the last-place spot for the last two weeks, the Bears fell to 12th place despite owning a 3-0 record.

Iowa State fell to the fourth spot after barely defeating lowly Army, 28-21.
Colorado stayed in fifth, despite suffering its first loss of the season, because the voters found it difficult to punish a team for losing at Miami.
Kansas State came out looking like a team with something to prove against North Texas. A 54-7 victory moved the Wildcats from last place to seventh.

Kansas runners place high, low in annual Minnesota invitational
BY ANTONIO MENDOZ
mendoza@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas cross country men's team finished eighth overall out of 25 teams that participated in this weekend's 20th annual Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, Minn. The women's team finished in 26th place overall out of 31 teams.
The men finished with 235 points, three points behind the 25th ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers.
This was the first race of the 2005 season in which the 2004 Big 12 Champion junior Benson Chesang participated. Che sang finished the 8K race second overall with a time of 24:05. Benson finished 22 seconds behind Simon Bairu Wisconsin senior.
"Overall, I think we did really well," coach Stanley Redwine said. "We need to continue to build on this result. Our goal at the end of the year is to place in the NCAAs. We just need to continue to work hard and hopefully we'll be there at the end of the season."
Sophomore Colby Wissel was the closest Kansas runner following Benson's finish. Wissel finished 22nd overall with a
time of 24:53.
"We did a lot better this year in this meet than we did last year, and this year's meet was a little more challenging." Wissel said. "We're excited and we know we're going to improve and we can't wait to get started."
Sophomore Connie Abbott was the first Jayhawk to cross the finish line of the 6K race with a time of 23.16 and was the 116th finisher overall.
The women's team finished with a total of 734 points and 26th overall out of a total of 31 teams.
"I expected us to do better." Redwine said. "We need to try
and pack a little better during our races."
This was Abbott's second meet of the season. Allergies kept her from participating in the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational on Sept. 9.
Both cross country teams have this weekend off.
The Jawahks will compete in the NCAA Pre-Nationals Invitational on Oct. 15 in Terre Haute, Ind. After the NCAA Pre-Nationals, there are only two more meets before the National Championship on Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind.

Kansas State could take untested North after last year's disappointing season
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY ERIC OLSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OMAHA, Neb. — Before the season you would have been hard pressed to think of a reason why Kansas State should contend in the Big 12 North.
Now the question is, Why shouldn't the Wildcats?
Every team in the North is vulnerable. The nonconference portion of the schedule proved that.
After a 54-7 feel-good victory over North Texas, the Wildcats are eager to move on to their Big 12 opener Saturday at Oklahoma.
"I think this win was a steppingstone for us," freshman running back Parrish Fisher said. "We got a big win, and I feel like we are ready to head into conference play. We know that the Big 12 teams we face will be tough, so we have to keep working and improving each day."
The Wildcats were picked to finish fifth in the North, ahead of only Kansas. But the division looks balanced now and ripe for the taking.
Preseason favorite Iowa State struggled to hold off Army 28-21 on Friday, and the Cyclones' 23-3 win over Iowa on Sept. 10 doesn't look quite as impressive after Ohio State throttled the Hawkeyes 31-6.
Kansas is 3-0 for the first time since 1997 but has built its record against undistinguished competition.
Nebraska also is 3-0, but the Cornhuskers have an offense that has mustered a total of three touchdowns in three games.
Missouri is 2-1 but hasn't proved it can stop anyone.

shaky on the road in a 23-3 loss at No.9 Miami, where they committed a school-record 16 penalties.
Defending North champion Colorado also is 2-1 and still looks like the class of the division. But the Buffaloes were
The North has been hard to predict. The Wildcats won the division in 2003 and shocked Oklahoma 35-7 in the conference championship game, only to drop to last place last season.
So being 3-0 for the 13th time in 15 years means little to Kansas State coach Bill Snyer.
"We haven't really done enough to say that we're really up there yet," Snyder said. "There are other schools who have obviously played a more difficult schedule and fared well. I think those teams would be the odds-on favorites as it stands."
But the Wildcats have reason to be optimistic.
to rush for 100 yards.
Fisher, who had 169 yards subbing for the suspended Thomas Clayton, became the first freshman in school history
The Wildcats rolled out 658 yards of total offense, breaking the school record of 638 set in 1997 against Bowling Green.
Allen Webb completed 10 of 12 passes for a career-high 256 yards, including three passes of 40 or more yards. He's the first Wildcat quarterback to throw for more than 250 yards since Ell Roberson's 294 against Ohio State in the 2004 Fiesta Bowl.
Wide receiver Jordy Nelson caught his third touchdown pass in three games and Jermaine Moreira returned a second-quarter punt 62 yards for a touchdown, the first at Kansas State since Darren Sproles' 63-varder against Kansas in 2003.
"It was very important to get this win going into Oklahoma," Moreira said. "It builds our confidence a lot more."

Alumni picnic goes on despite high river level

Saturday's weather was perfect for a rowing event, but because of Thursday's downpour, the Kansas River was too high and fast for the

"Everything went really well," coach Jeremy Struemph said. "I think the alumni were happy to see us get the ball rolling, and happy to see people they used to row with."
"It would have been fun to row, but with the past week's rain, it would have been too dangerous," crew alumni coordinator Phil Wilke said.

Despite the lack of actual racing, event organizers called it a success. Twenty-four alumni came back for the event, along with 40 to 50 current crew team members.

"Most people who came back were probably within the area," Wilke said. "But we've established an alumni keeps growing, have about 100."
The crew's fall schedule begins Oct. 1 in Iowa City, Iowa, making it convenient to have the reunion in the fall.
"We encouraged them to come out if they can. It's just a good prep for the year." Struemph said.
The reunion will likely occur again in the fall, however it is undecided if it will be an annual event.
Wilke plans to hold a meeting to discuss what worked well, and how often to host the event in the future.

Royals trip the Indians in race for the division
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cleveland center fielder Grady Sizemore appeared to lose Paul Phillips' ninth-inning double in the sun, allowing Angel Berroa to score the winning run for the Kansas City Royals in a 5-4 victory over the Indians yesterday.
The Indians lost for only the
third time in 20 games, trimming their AL wild-card lead to a half-game over the Red Sox and Yankees, who are tied atop the AL East.
The Indians tied the score at four in the ninth, but Bob Howry gave up a leadoff single to Berroa in the bottom half. He moved up on Joe McEwing's sacrifice and scored when Sizemore couldn't come up with Phillips' fly.

New players a risk for Broncos
▼ NFL
BY EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER—Courtney Brown saw the ball loose on the ground and pounced. Gerard Warren saw an offensive lineman trying to get the ball from Brown, so Warren pounced on him.
It's still early, but that sequence last week was one of several signs that Denver's decision to make the Cleveland Connection — one of the most questioned and criticized offseason maneuvers in the entire NFL — might actually be working for the Broncos.
Tonight, Warren, Brown and company get their biggest test when the Broncos (1-1) face one of the best offenses in the league, the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs (2-0).
"They just needed an upgrade," Chiefs left guard Brian Waters said. "I think they saw an opportunity to upgrade with Cleveland. Denver saw an opportunity to get some parts that were better than the parts they had."
Again, it's early, but thus far, the stats are complimentary.
The Broncos' defense, ranked fourth in the league last year but criticized because it didn't make big plays, has five takeaways through two games. Last season, the Broncos finished with 20 all season.
Last week in a 20-17 win over San Diego, the Broncos had four sacks and held the Chargers to 41 yards over the second half in what several Denver players said was the most dominating half of defense they'd ever seen.
Individually, the decision to pick up Brown, Warren, Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers, all from the Browns' defensive line, made sense. None was an overly expensive move and all
"We've got a great defense, a great front seven," said cornerback Champ Bailey, who returned an interception for a touchdown. "There's no way we shouldn't play the way we did in the second half every week."
four players had pedigrees that were worth looking into. Of the four, only Myers wasn't a first-round pick.
But add them together, and combine it with the fact that the Broncos had earlier hired Browns defensive line coach Andre Patterson, and the move was, well, ripe for ridicule. The Browns, after all, were not very good last year. They had the NFLs worst run defense.
"Really, it was a big risk to gut your defense like they've kind of done by cutting a lot of guys who had been there a while," Waters said. "Not just for the personnel's sake, but how the team feels about playing with guys, and the chemistry on the team."
The Broncos chose not to resign Reggie Hayward, who led the team in sacks last season, in free agency. Those who lost jobs at the most competitive spot in Denver's training camp included veterans Luther Elliss,
Raylee Johnson, Anton Palepoi and Mario Fatafehi, who started all 16 games last season.
He came to camp in shape, earned a starting spot, and if he keeps on this pace — through the first two games of the last year of his contract, he has made seven tackles, has offered strong push up the middle on pass rush and has been an effective run stopper — he will likely earn a lot of money in the offseason.
So far this year, Warren has looked the best in Broncos blue.
"It's the best football I've played since high school," he told the Rocky Mountain News.
Brown, meanwhile, missed most of the preseason with a dislocated elbow. His return last week showed how dominating he can be. Playing about 20 plays, he had the fumble recovery and a sack and was disruptive pretty much everywhere he went.
Still, the task for the Denver defense gets tougher today.
"He's a very physical player like we talked about," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. "If he stays healthy, I think he'll play extremely well."
The Chiefs have not one, but two outstanding running backs in Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson. Trent Green came into the season as the sixth-highest rated passer in NFL history (87.9). Tony Gonzalez. Eddie Kennison. Receiver-returner Dante Hall. The list is long for what has been among the most prolific offenses in the NFL over the last several seasons.
"They've got two great running backs. They've got three great tight ends. They've got a great offensive line," Broncos defensive coordinator Larry Coyer said. "Like any team, it starts right there. Then, you put the skill they've got behind that line, and it gets kind of scary."

Eagles overcome injury, beat Raiders
PHILADELPHIA — David Akers, fighting through a strained right hamstring, kicked a 23-yard field goal with 9 seconds left to give Philadelphia a 23-20 victory over Oakland yesterday.
Donovan McNabb, playing with chest and groin injuries, threw for 365 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles (2-1), while Brian Westbrook caught a TD pass, ran for a score and had 140 yards receiving. Terrell Owens had nine catches, including his 100th career touchdown.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kerry Collins threw a 27-yard TD pass to Doug Gabriel to bring the Raiders into a 20-20 tie with 2:17 left. Westbrook caught passes of 13 and 17 yards, Greg Lewis made a 13-yard catch on third- and 9 Owens had a 14-yard reception to set up Akers' kick.
Akers reinjured his hamstring on the opening kickoff, but came back to make two extra points and the winning field goal in the second half.
Randy Moss had five catches for 86 yards, but didn't score as Oakland fell to 0-3 for the first time since 1992.
Buccaneers 17, Packers 16
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Tampa Bay's Carnell "Cadillac" Williams broke Alan Ammeche's NFL record for most yards in his first three NFL games by rushing 37 times for 158 yards.
Green Bay's Ryan Longwell missed an extra point for the first time in 157 attempts, and that was the difference as the Packers fell to 0-3 for the first time since Brett Favre was a sophomore at Southern Mississippi in 1988.
The Buccaneers, 3-0 for the first time since 2000, got two touchdown receptions from Joey Galloway and two interceptions from Will Allen in snapping a 13-game road losing streak to the Packers. Their last
win at Green Bay came on Sept. 10, 1989.
Williams, the first NFL rookie to start his career with three straight 100-yard games, has 434 yards rushing, besting Ameche's mark of 410 set in 1955 for the Baltimore Colts.

Carolina's Steve Smith had 11 catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns. His 53-yard score midway through the fourth quarter tied the score at 24.
MIAMI — Lance Schulters intercepted Jake Delhomme with 2 minutes left to set up Olindo Mare's game-winning field goal.
On the next possession, Schulters stepped in front of a pass intended for Keary Colbert and returned the interception 37 yards to the 25. Mare kicked a 32-yard field goal with 4 seconds left.
Under new coach Nick Saban, Miami is 2-1 and halfway to last year's win total. The Panthers, who lost seven of their first eight games last season, are off to another slow start at 1-2.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Shaking off a tender hamstring he hurt last weekend, Atlanta's Michael Vick threw two touchdown passes and scrambled for 64 yards on nine carries.
Atlanta 24. Buffalo 16
Warrick Dunn rushed for 97 yards and T.J. Duckett added 75 yards rushing and a touchdown for the Falcons (2-1), who snapped a three-game road losing streak dating to last season. Vick finished 15-of-27 for 167 yards passing and an interception.
Willis McGahee led Buffalo (1-2) with a career-high 140 yards rushing and a touchdown. Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes hurt his right Achilles' tendon in the second quarter and did not return.

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams' needed a last-minute defensive stand for a victory over the Tennessee Titans, and Leonard Little flashed back — not to his team's 2000 Super Bowl win, but to a fresh memory from seven days ago.
"I had thoughts of last week," Little said. "We played pretty good last week except
Marc Bulger threw three touchdown passes and the Rams survived a controversial replay ruling in the fourth quarter to hang on for a 31-27 win yesterday. Last week the Rams held off a down-to-the wire drive by the Arizona Cardinals to win by five points.

for the last drive, and we knew if they got into the red zone they'd have a chance to throw it into the end zone.

The Rams (2-1) won
The Titans converted three turnovers into 17 points while
their only Super Bowl when Mike Jones' overtime-saving tackle of Kevin Dyson at the 1 preserved a 23-16 victory over Tennessee. In their first meeting since, the Titans drove to the St. Louis 23 in the final minute and had two shots at the end zone before running out of downs.
first play of the fourth quarter was the goalhead score for the Rams.
"I thought it was coming together, we did the things we had to do at the end," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "We had time, we just ran out of downs."
Bulger was 21-of-28 for 292 yards with an interception; he also fumbled three times, losing two. The third was recovered in the fourth quarter by first-round draft pick Alex Barron, who was making his pro debut.
Steve McNair was 24-of-39 for 261 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Titans (1-2). It took Tennessee, which was leading 10-0
The Titans, who made it to the Super Bowl in 2000 with the help of a questionable lateral known as the "Music City Miracle," cut the gap to four points
and appeared close to another score early in the second quarter, a long time to recover from Archuelta's return.
on a similar play in the fourth quarter.
With the Rams leading 31-24, Bulger's swing pass to running back Steven Jackson appeared as though it might have gone forward before falling incomplete. But there was no whistle and Peter Sirmon scooped up the ball and returned it 41 yards to the Rams 29 with 10:26 left.
The Rams challenged the call and the St. Louis offense and Tennessee defense stayed on the field throughout the review process, an indication that the call would be overturned. But referee Tom White said there was inconclusive evidence and the play stood.
"I do that every day, that's what I do for a living," Bulger said.
"That's a hot route. But it's neither here nor there now, we won and we don't have to go kill the ref."
The Titans said White did the right thing.
"Our people upstairs said it was clearly a lateral," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "You have to have an awful lot to overturn it, and I was right there and I felt like it was a lateral."
A third-down sack by Little forced a 59-yard field goal by Rob Bironas that cut the Rams' lead to 31-27 with 6:02 to go.
Fans booed the officials at every opportunity the rest of the game.
The Titans outgained the Rams 111-5 in the first quarter and scored on a 16-yard pass from McNair to Ben Troupe and a 41-yard field goal set up by an interception by Tank Williams. Bulger said the Rams were confused at first by Tennessee's defense.
"Half is not enough protection, half is my fault and half is them just doing a good job," Bulger said. "I know it's 150 percent, but I'm a little tired now."
Archuleta's third career interception reversed the momentum. He jumped on a short route for Drew Bennett and had a wide open field for the 85-yard return that got the Rams on the board early in the second quarter.
Energized, the Rams added a 46-yard field goal by Jeff Wilkins and a 13-yard touchdown pass from Bulger to Marshall Faulk for a 17-10 halftime lead. They increased it on a 32-yarder from Bulger to Holt in the third quarter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Monday, Sept. 26, 2005: You will tend to go to extremes and excess this year. Sometimes you can be found handling many different tasks at one time. Focus on your career and your public image this year if you want to great success. Others admire you and your abilities. A partner or associate could be very critical of you. Listen to and sort through this person's comments. Some might be true, but others might come from jealousy. If you are single, you will probably choose to remain so this year, though you will expand your horizon. If you are attached, your relationship will improve if you don't take your sweetie's comments personally. CANCER pushes you.

Box office receipts surge higher
MOVIES
LOS ANGELES — Jodie Foster piloted "Flight-plan" to a No.1 debut, her airborne thriller taking in $24.6 million to land ahead of "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride," the runner-up with $20.1 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, rapper Bow Wow's rollerskating romp "Roll Bounce," opened at No. 4 with $8 million, according to studio estimates yesterday.
BY DAVID GERMAIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
With two movies topping $20 million at a traditionally quiet time in theaters, the box office surged. The top 12 movies took in $89.2 million, up 51 percent from the same weekend last year.
The upswing extended a September rally for Hollywood, which has seen revenues slump most of the year. Receipts are running 6 percent behind 2004, and with higher ticket prices, movie admissions are down 9 percent.
"This fall season has been in a word, spectacular," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "We'd be so fixated on the box-office slump, and here we are in a fall boom. This is terrific for the industry and bodies well for a very strong holiday season."
David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence," starring Viggo Mortensen as a family man whose tranquil life is shattered by intrusive mobsters (Ed Harris and William Hurt), opened strongly in limited release with $504,000 in 14 theaters. The movie expands to about 1,200 theaters Friday.
Also debuting solidly was Roman Polanski's adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist." featuring Ben Kingsley as pickpocket mentor Fagin, which took in $69,000 at five theaters. The film will be shown in about 800 theaters Friday.
"Flightplan" was the first No.1 debut in almost five months for distributor Disney, historically one of Hollywood's steadiest hitmakers.
"Long time coming. You never expect that. We're usually more consistent," said Chuck Viane. Disney head of distribution.
"Flightplan" stars Foster as a widow whose 6-year-old daughter vanishes on a trans-Atlantic trip, prompting panic from the girl's mom and skepticism from the crew and passengers, who have no record or recollection of the child.
After a strong premiere for "Corpse Bride" in five theaters the previous weekend, some industry observers had expected the animated tale to hold the top box-office spot this weekend.
"Corpse Bride" features the voices of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in a musical fantasy about a jittery groom whisked to the underworld after he's inadvertently wied to a decomposing cadaver. It's the second stop-motion animation flick for co-director Burton, following 1993's "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
Dan Fellman, head of distribution for "Corpse Bride" backer Warner Bros., said the studio hadn't expected a No.1 showing and that the movie had the best results for a September animated film.
"There's always those in the industry making predictions outside our company, but we knew the strength of our movie," Fellman said, "we're nothing but thrilled."
Estimated ticket sales are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters. Final figures will be released Monday.

Senior forward Kimberly Karfonta and sophomore midfielder Emily Strinden were given assists.
The game remained tied through the half, until the 59th minute when Garey put a ball in from eight yards out for her eighth of the season.
Smith counteracted this time and put the game-tying goal by Spisak for her fifth of the season in the 69th minute. Senior forward and co-captain Jessica Smith and Rasmussen were given assists.
"I missed two chances that I probably should've finished on and I probably won't ever miss again," Smith said. "That stuff happens."
The final minutes saw several missed opportunities, including two shots from Caroline Smith.
But it was Garey to the rescue for the Aggies for the third and final time in the 88th minute, collecting the hat trick and the victory. The assist went to Pistorius for the second time of the day.
"A game like that is going to go either way. They had chances and we had chances," Francis said. "Today they just didn't fall

The match was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. in Waco, Texas, but Hurricane Rita precautions moved the game to Lawrence. After heavy rain in Lawrence, the match finally landed at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka.
Giving a strong effort, the Bears were hard after the ball even in the final seconds of play, making the 1-0 victory an almost sigh of relief for the Jayhawks.
Kansas tied one in the 20th minute to get ahead early. Junior defender Holly Gault and senior Caroline Smith both assisted freshman forward Jessica Bush knock in the game winner. It was her fourth goal of the season.
"The thing is, especially with a team like Baylor, they never give up," Francis said. "The longer that game is close, the more they are going to keep fighting, the more they keep pushing."

room, weight room, training facility
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino's goal to have a new practice facility built next to Memorial Stadium received a significant boost yesterday.
Former Kansas basketball player Tom Kivisto donated $2 million to the athletics department and pledged another $8 million. The money is scheduled to go toward paying for the facility.
The facility would be a one- or two-story structure and include meeting rooms, a weight facility and locker rooms near the stadium as well as practice fields.
"I believe a successful football program helps a university at every level," Kivisto said. "By making the football program
stronger, the entire University and all of its sports programs are the beneficiaries. I am happy to do what I can to support the University, especially its athletics programs."
Construction plans have previously been a source of controversy. Faculty and students were concerned with the facility blocking the view of the Campanile and disrupting the tradition of graduates walking down the hill into the stadium.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the donation put the total pledges for the facility at about $18 million. The cost of the facility is now being envisioned at $40 million.
Marchiony said that construction on the facility would not begin until all of the money was collected.

Even though the three games' donations totaled about $3,000 dollars of the $230,000 goal, Van Leer said it was important for the students to be aware of local needs.

Jubilee Café diverts funding allocation
JOHN JORDAN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Changes made to the Jubilee Café at the beginning of the year have forced the café to divert funding from food to administrative costs.
The café used Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana, as a home for interns, offices and for food storage.
But on Jan. 10, the Episcopalian Diocese decided to quit holding services there and remove it as part of the campus ministry of the diocese.
The chaplain of the house and founder of the Jubilee Café, Rev. Ioe Alford. Lost his job.
Alford said he would continue to work at the café until he found another position. The café is searching for a replacement for the director of Jubilee Café.
The cafe continues to operate, but volunteers are raising money now to cover new costs.
Alford said money from grants the cafe received that would have gone toward food would now be used to rent offices, pay for phone service, acquire office supplies and fund a housing stipend for the cafe's intern.
Now the café is selling concessions at home football and basketball games to make up for lost revenue. Carolyn Tharp, who is the co-coordinator for the café, said doing the extra fundraising was a "wake-up call."
"We want to get very financially secure," Tharp, Lawrence senior, said. "If something like this happens again, we'll be prepared."
Alford said the losses equalled about $700 a month.
She said the diocese was trying to reach more students through campus ministry by hiring a campus 'missioner' to travel between the five regent schools in the diocese. Previously, there was only a chaplain at the University and at Kansas State University, with no chaplain at Washburn, Wichita State or Emporia.

Butterfly film takes flight

Orley Taylor and Francisco Gutierrez answer questions about Papelotzin, the monarch helicopter. The helicopter is traveling over Lawrence following the migration of monarch butterflies and raising awareness for monarch habitats.
Crew follows monarchs migration
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Francisco Gutierrez and his crew of the Papalotzin project decided to stop in Lawrence for a few days on their way to Mexico, following the annual monarch butterfly migration.
Gutierrez is filming a documentary to raise awareness about the monarchs' decreasing habitat as he and his crew fly an ultralight plane — painted like a monarch — from Canada to Mexico.
The crew displayed the plane to the public yesterday at Foley Hall, 2021 Constant Ave. Gutierrez also answered questions from the crowd.
The project came to Lawrence to film a monarch-tagging demonstration and an interview with Orley Taylor, director of Monarch Watch and professor of ecology, for the documentary. Monarch Watch has been tagging monarchs since 1992 and has tagged about half a billion since it started, Taylor said.
Gutierrez started the trip to make the documentary in an attempt to raise awareness about illegal logging decreasing the monarchs' habitat.
Diane Sanders, Lawrence resident, went to see the project because of her interest in monarchs. She said she thought everyone in Lawrence should have been there.
"The plane is just marvelous," she said.
Gutierrez, the pilot and director of the project, has been flying since he was 14 years old. He said it took him five years to save enough money to pay for the plane, which was made in England.
The plane has 80 horse power, can travel at speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour, weighs 190 kilograms and costs about $35,000.
Gutierrez said he flew the plane from Virginia to Kansas in two days.
Taylor welcomed the five-person crew to Lawrence, and Monarch Watch played host to the visit. The crew saw Foley Hall, the butterfly garden behind Foley and the Baker Wetlands.
"By yesterday evening they were ready to crash," Taylor said.
Taylor said that last year the monarch butterfly population was at an all-time low.
He said the sanctuary areas in Mexico were difficult to protect because each tree was worth approximately $300.
Loggers come from outside corporations, and local law enforcement can't do much to enforce the law because the loggers are armed, Taylor said. He said there was a conflict between the local citizens of
Gutierrez Project director
"Every form of life has the right to live."
the area and the loggers, who are referred to as "mafioso" by the locals.
Gutierrez said the forests in Mexico where monarchs live during winter must be healthy. The trees act as a
canopy, he said. If trees are cut down, a hole in the forest is created. Then when a cold front comes, the wind travels inside and kills the butterflies.
"Every form of life has the right to live," Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez said he wanted to raise awareness because he lived 10 kilometers from the sanctuaries in Mexico and saw the monarchs when he drove past.
He said he wanted his kids to see the butterflies when they grow up, and if illegal logging wasn't stopped, they might not be able to.
Gregory Allen, director of the documentary, said the film would contain three chapters: the scientific study, the adventure and the awareness process.
"This trip in itself creates awareness and knowledge of the documentary." Allen said.
Gutierrez said he and his crew planned to rest in Lawrence for another day, then head south to their next stop in Oklahoma City, Okla.
"There is a relationship between the monarchs and our trip," Gutierrez said. "Monarchs need a habitat and food to pass the night, and so do we."

Library supervisor overcomes cancer
1980
WASHINGTON - A puzzling outbreak of respiratory disease in dogs has been tracked to a virus that has infected horses for decades - a transfer researchers say is rarely seen.
NATION
The illness first drew attention sweeping through kennels of racing greyhounds in several states and has also been found in household dogs in some states.
Canine respiratory virus spreads quickly
The flu kills between 5 percent and 8 percent of infected dogs, Dr. Cynda Crawford of the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine said at a briefing Some dogs get a cough, runny nose and fever while others show no symptoms at all.
Nancy Hawkins, Media and Reserve Supervisor at the Music and Dance Library, survived a two-time battle with breast cancer and a brain tumor. Hawkins is an alumni of KU and KSU, and has lived in Lawrence since 1973. Hawkins said that her husband Alan Hawkins, a retired professor of bassoon at KU, was her main support during her struggles. Hawkins said that there was no way to prepare for cancer, but that she takes her life one day one at a time.
The flu can cause symptoms similar to the common illness known as kennel cough, Crawford said. But kennel cough is usually caused by a bacteria while the new illness is caused by a virus.
Photos by Candice Rukes/KANSAN
Dr. Brad Fenwick, vice president for research at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, said he thinks mortality from this flu is even less than estimated by Crawford. If infected dogs are treated, mortality can be much lower, Fenwick said in a telephone interview.
While the new virus is easily transferred between dogs, Crawford said people should not panic.
ON THE BOULEVARD
Owners of dogs that have a respiratory infection should keep the animal home for at least two weeks, she said.

Nancy Hawkins will persist.
The 55-year-old Hawkins sits in a study room of the Music and Dance Library where she works as the media and reserve supervisor, a blue button-down shirt hanging loosely on her body, a silver Jayhawk necklace from her husband lightly hugging her neck.

phabet:
1978: Took a job with the University of Kansas Libraries.
1979: Married Alan Hawkins, a KU bassoon professor.
1986: Earned a master's degree in journalism from the University.
But what she's here to talk about is her fight with cancer.
1992: Cancer of the left breast
Hawkins didn't have a family history of cancer; diabetes and heart disease, but not cancer. Yet she wasn't surprised when her doctor said the lump in her left breast was malignant.
"For some reason I was expecting it," she said. "I don't know why."
She chose to have a mastectomy and was spared chemotherapy. She recovered quickly.
The same year, Hawkins saw a graduate student she worked with named Jay Atwood fight a brain tumor, weaken and die. She wouldn't forget him, or the other people she met who died of cancer. She felt so helpless.
"Unfortunately, we don't have all the answers," she said.
After that, life went on as normal. Every year for more than a decade, she'd go in for a mammogram. Every year, her doctor would tell her she was cancer-free.
Then, on a spring day in 2003 she was checking out Lawrence's new Home Depot for the first time with Alan, when something weird happened.
"I noticed all of a sudden that out of the right side of my peripheral vision I couldn't see the shelves," she said.
The same year, Hawkins saw a graduate student she worked with named Jay Atwood fight a brain tumor, weaken and die. She wouldn't forget him, or the other people she met who died of cancer. She felt so helpless.
2003: A brain tumor
Hawkins' doctor advised her to go to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for a CT scan. There a doctor found a tumor nearly the size of a tennis ball in the center of her forehead.
Nancy was too. They wouldn't know until after the surgery whether it was benign or malignant, whether she might need

"I was shocked," Alan said.
more surgeries, chemotherapy, who knows. She thought of Jay Atwood.
The surgeon told her he'd have to "tickle her brain" to remove it. That meant she'd lose a few cells from her frontal lobes, and with those cells, a few memories.
The surgery was successful. The tumor was benign, a gentle giant. And she was relieved, though a little loopy from the drugs they gave her. She has no memory of seating off the alarm in the recovery room by walking out the door in search of the newspaper, or calling the University the day after the surgery to say she was ready to come back to work.
"It's quite an adventure when they're messing with your brain," she laughed.

A national organization has recognized Douglas County as one of the nation's best communities for youths from birth to age 21.
Douglas County was selected out of 1,200 applicants as one of the "100 Best Communities for Young People" competition, sponsored by America's Promise - The Alliance for Youth, a national organization dedicated to providing youths with the resources they need to succeed.
U. S. Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) announced Douglas County's selection yesterday. The competition honors communities that have provided a healthy and educationally successful environment for youths.
Moore said that providing

stable upbringing should be a priority of any community and was proud of the recognition for Lawrence's dedication to its children.
The five promises are the presence of caring adults who are active in children's lives, safe places with structured activities during nonschool hours, access to health care and education for healthy living, an education that provides marketable skills and the opportunity to help others in the community.
The communities selected were

"I think that their biggest accomplishment is providing resources to the community so that parents can provide youth in Douglas County with the five promises." Reid said.
Kristen Malloy, executive director of the Partnership for Children and Youth, the local non-profit organization that applied for the competition, credited Douglas County's collaborative efforts for its success with youths and said that the collaboration is what makes Douglas County stand out.
'There's just all different

America's Promise Founding Chairman General Colin Powell announced the competition in May. The Partnership for Children and Youth, along with the Roger Hill Volunteer Center, submitted the Douglas County application in July. The winners were selected by a panel of civic, business and nonprofit leaders that including United Way President Brian Gallagher, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and baseball star Cal Ripken Jr.

Bush hints to next nominee
BY JESSE J. HOLLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHINA
WASHINGTON—John Roberts, hailed by supporters as "the brightest of the bright," cruised yesterday toward easy confirmation as chief justice while President Bush hinted that his next pick to the Supreme Court could be a minority or a woman.
Judge John Roberts smiles on Capitol Hill Friday before a meeting with Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Cofo. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-5 Friday to send Roberts' nomination as Chief Justice of the United States to the Senate floor where a final vote is expected next week.
"Diversity is one of the strengths of the country," the president said.
Roberts, a 50-year-old federal appellate judge and the president's first pick for the Supreme Court, is assured of getting an overwhelming confirmation vote by the Senate later this week, making him the nation's 17th chief justice.
Two-thirds of the 100 senators — both Republicans and Democrats — already had promised to support Roberts as the successor to the late William H. Rehnquist before the debate began.
Roberts' would-be colleagues support him, too, said Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
Roberts is "the brightest of the bright," declared Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., as the Senate began several days of debate.
"The word is that the justices very much applaud his nomination to be chief justice," Spector said. "He has the potential, almost from a running start, to bring a new day and a new era to the Supreme Court."
With Roberts' confirmation guaranteed, senators and Bush started turning to the White House's upcoming selection of a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Dav O'Connor.
Specter said he expects that nomination to come "shortly, if not immediately, after a decision is made by the Senate on the Roberts nomination."
Frist and Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., expect Roberts to be confirmed by Thursday, and Bush is expected to make his next selection for the Supreme Court soon after that.
"I will pick a person who can do the job. But I am mindful that diversity is one of the strengths of the country." Bush said yesterday.
The president is under pressure from many quarters — including his wife — to pick a woman or a minority for O'Connor's seat.
Widely mentioned candidates include federal appellate judges Janice Rogers Brown, Edith Brown Clement, Edith Hollan Jones, Emilio Garza, Alice Batchelder, Karen Williams, J. Michael Luttig, J. Harvie Wilkinson, Michael McConnell and Samuel Alito.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former deputy attorney general Larry Thompson, lawyer Miguel Estrada and Maura Corrigan, a member of the Michigan Supreme Court, are also considered possibilities.
Roberts' Democratic supporters warned the White House not to take their support for granted on the next nominee, especially if Bush chooses a hard-right conservative to replace O'Connor.
"We're asking him in this case especially. Be a uniter. Don't be a divider, for the sake of the country," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Leahy is one of the 13 Democrats supporting Roberts. With all 55 Republicans expected to vote for the conservative judge, he will easily surpass the number of votes garnered by the last conservative nominee, Clarence Thomas, who was confirmed, 52-48. in 1991.
"I believe there is value in rolling up the score," Specter said.
President Clinton's two nominees, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, were confirmed 96-3 and 87-9, respectively.
Democrats opposing Roberts say they're afraid the former lawyer in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations will be staunchly conservative like Thomas and Justice Antonin Scalia.
They question Roberts' commitment to civil rights and expressed concern that he might overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade court ruling that established the right to abortion.
The White House refused to release paperwork from Roberts' time as a deputy solicitor general in the administration of George H. W. Bush, and many Democrats feel the nominee has
evaded or refused to fully answer questions asked by Democrats during his confirmation hearing two weeks ago.
"I have too many doubts about the direction a Roberts court will take us. Persistent, nagging doubts," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
Republicans insisted that Roberts has not indicated how he will vote on any issue, including abortion.
"Judge Roberts is not predisposed to overturning the settled precedent represented by Roe," said Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine.
Prisoner abuse trial ends in conviction
IRAQ
BY T.A. BADGER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT HOOD, Texas — Army Pfc. Lynndie England, whose smiling poses in photos of detainee abuse at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison made her the face of the scandal, was convicted yesterday by a military jury on six of seven counts.
England, 22, was found guilty of one count of conspiracy, four counts of malt treating detainees and one count of committing an indecent act. She was acquitted on a second conspiracy count.
The jury of five male Army officers took about two hours to reach its verdict. Her case now moves to the sentencing phase, which will be heard by the same jury beginning today.
England stood at attention yesterday as the verdict was read by the jury foreman. She showed no obvious emotion afterward.
England tried to plead guilty in May to the same counts she faced this month in exchange for an undisclosed sentencing cap, but a judge threw out the plea deal. She now faces a maximum of nine years in prison.
Asked for comment after the verdict, defense lawyer Capt. Jonathan Crisp said, "The only reaction I can say is, 'I understand.'"
England's trial is the last for a group of nine Army reservists charged with mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghaib in Iraq, a scandal that badly damaged the United States' image in the Muslim world despite quick condemnation of the abuse by President Bush. Two other troops were convicted in trials and the remaining six made plea deals. Several of those soldiers testified at England's trial.
Prosecutors used graphic photos of England to support their contention that she was a
key figure in the abuse conspiracy. One photo shows England holding a naked detainee on a leash. In others, she smiles and points to prisoners in humiliating poses.
Beyond the sordid photos, prosecutors pointed to England's statement to Army investigators in January 2004 that the mistreatment was done to amuse the U.S. guards at Abu Gheil
"The accused knew what she was doing," said Capt. Chris Graveline, the lead prosecutor. "She was laughing and joking. ... She is enjoying, she is participating, all for her own sick humor."
Crisp countered that England was only trying to please her soldier boyfriend, then Cpl. Charles Graner Jr., labeled the abuse ringleader by prosecutors.
"She was a follower; she was an individual who was snipped with Graner," Crisp said. "She just did whatever he wanted her to do."
England, from Fort Ashby, W.Va., has said that Graner, now serving a 10-year sentence, fathered her young son.
The defense argued that England suffered from depression and that she has an overly compliant personality, making her a heedless participant in the abuse.
England's earlier attempt to plead guilty under a deal with prosecutors was rejected by Col. James Pohl, the presiding judge. Pohl declared a mistrial during the sentencing phase when testimony by Graner contradicted England's guilty plea.
Graner, a defense witness at the sentencing, said pictures he took of England holding a prisoner on a leash were meant to be used as a training aid. In her guilty plea, England had said the pictures were being taken purely for the amusement of Abu Ghraib guards.

Spy actor was more than smart
BY BOB THOMAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Don Adams, the wry-voiced comedian who starred as the fumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart in the 1960s TV spoof of James Bond movies, "Get Smart," has died. He was 82.
As the inept Agent 86 of the super-secret federal agency CONTROL, Adams captured TV viewers with his antics in combatting the evil agents of KAOS. When his explanations failed to convince the villains or his boss, he tried another tack:
"Would you believe ... ?"
Adams died of a lung infection late Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, his friend and former agent Bruce Tufeld said yesterday, adding that the actor broke his hip a year ago and had been in ill health since.
It became a national catchphrase.
Smart was also prone to spilling things on the desk or person of his boss — the Chief (actor Edward Platt). Smart's apologetic "Sorry about that, chief" also entered the American lexicon.
The spy gadgets, which aped those of the Bond movies, were a popular feature, especially the precellphone telephone in a shoe.
"He had this prodigious energy, so as an actor working with him it was like being plugged into an electric current," Feldon said from New York. "He would start and a scene would just take off and you were there for the ride. It was great fun acting with him."
Smart's beautiful partner, Agent 99, played by Barbara Feldon, was as brainy as he was dense, and a plot romance led to marriage and the birth of twins later in the series.
Adams was very intelligent, she said, a quality that suited the satiric show that had comedy geniuses Mel Brooks and Buck Henry behind it.
... He had that other side to it. through Maxwell Smart," she said. "Don person was anything but bumbling."
person was anything but bullying. Adams had an "amazing memory" that allowed him to take an unusual approach to filming, Feldon said.
Instead of learning his lines ahead of time he would have a script assistant read his part to him just once or twice. He invariably got it right but that didn't stop people from placing bets on it, she recounted.
Adams, who had been under contract to NBC, was lukewarm about doing a spy spool. When he learned that Brooks and Henry had written the pilot script, he accepted immediately. "Get Smart" debuted on NBC in September 1965 and scored No. 12 among the season's most-watched series and No. 22 in its second season.
"Get Smart" twice won the Emmy for best comedy series with three Emmys for Adams as comedy actor.
After four seasons on NBC, CBS picked up the show but the ratings fell off as the jokes became repetitive and it was canceled in 1970 after just one year. The show lived on in syndication and a cartoon series. In 1995, the Fox network revived the series with Smart as chief and 99 as a congresswoman. It lasted seven episodes.
"It was a special show that became a cult classic of sorts, and I made a lot of money for it," he remarked of "Get Smart" in a 1995 interview. "But it also hindered me career-wise because I was typed. The character was so strong, particularly because of that distinctive voice, that nobody could picture me in any other type of role."

Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, a woman president
KILLS VAMPIRES DEAD
There will be no female president in my lifetime and there shouldn't be. All right, so I've already touched a nerve with some of you. Many liberals and female activists would bring up the issue of Hilary Clinton running for the presidency in 2008.
Although there are some women who have the public presence and essentially more balls than their male counterparts vital for holding such an office with a huge amount of power and prestige, this country would still not accept a female president, or we would have already done so.
For a country that prides itself on women's suffrage and the feminist movement, then why haven't we had women in power since the start of colonies?
The answer to that question is that back then, men and women thought that women were incompetent for such power.
This thinking still goes on today. If the United States wanted to be known as a
SARA GARLICK
opinion@kansan.com
country that allowed equality of the sexes, then the United States would have idolized women as leaders and warriors from the beginning as other countries had done in the past.
Here in the United States, we do not have this "female warrior" persona that allows the women who want to lead to do so.
Religion also plays an important factor in the sexual inequality here in the United
States. Within the JudeoChristian beliefs on which the United States and its principles are founded upon, this sexual inequality is obvious in the emphasis on male leaders and paternal lineage allowing for the success of the society to be based on the male genitalia.
This is another reason that we will not have a female president. When it comes down to it, politics still follows the emphasis on males and men controlling power.
The majority of the senate, the house and governorships has and always will be men. Even though having women in politics and acknowledgements by their male counterparts as excellent leaders is good PR, the reality is that the general male politician, a WASP (white Anglo Saxon Protestant), will not give up his established power just for a woman to take it. Come on, that's common sense.
There is one biological factor that would prevent a woman from fulfilling the office
of the presidency - estrogen. It is physically proven that because of the higher levels of estrogen in females than those levels in males, they are physically weaker than men. Not only are there differences in the muscular and skeletal structures of the body, but there are also mental differences due to the elevated levels in estrogen.
Think about this: Although some women are rational during their menstrual cycle, not all of us are.
"The chemical imbalances during this time have several side effects from cramps to becoming total bitches who crave chocolate."
becoming total bitches who crave chocolate. Along with the mental side effects of the increased estrogen comes the maternal instinct that all women have.
The maternal instincts also would prevent a woman from raising her family and giving the oval office her undying attention.
Even male politicians can't take care of their families while in office.
That's why they have their wives and/or they ship their kids off to boarding schools to let someone else raise their children.
That way their minds are worry-free and they can get their job done.
Because of several factors, women should not and will not become president at least in my lifetime. As I said before, if the United States was going to choose a female president, there would have already been one.
Instead, sexual inequality will always be present.
For the most part, though.
power is outside of the media frame and behind the scenes.
The old saying goes "Behind every great man is an even greater woman."
This saying is indeed true! Most recently, even Sex & the City has commented on this behind-the-scenes power.
Kim Catrell's character, Samantha Jones, states, "The only place you can control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men blow jobs we could run the world!"
If it wasn't for the wives of politicians, I highly doubt their husbands would have public's support for them to be in office.
The harder job is behind the-scenes, getting that support and those votes as well as campaign money (just don't let your brother put campaign money in real estate, Adam Taft), not being the pretty face that people see kissing babies.
▼ LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dictatorship or America?
- Garlick is a Sanford,
  Maine, senior in international studies and history
Scott Ruby severely misinterprets what constitutes caring about oppressed people. Saddam Hussein is responsible for the deaths of more than one million of his own citizens and citizens of neighboring countries.
Even if Scott Ruby's 24K to 84K to 100K estimates were to be believed, they are a drop in the bucket compared to Saddam's body count. Where were the protesters before we entered Iraq?
The simple fact for anyone willing to believe his or her country before those who hate America, is that in both Afghanistan and Iraq, we fought the most humane war in the history of the world. We routinely avoided targets because of civilians in the area and we never used illegal weapons.
Did anyone protest against Saddam Hussein? Of course not. The LCR does not support human rights. They simply oppose the U.S. military and by extension, the U.S.A.
Ruby also brushes with lies
when he states that "the use of torture by U.S. Troops in Iraq has been documented."
The U.S. has not used torture in Iraq or any other setting. Of course, Mr. Ruby and I will disagree on how to define torture.
"...Iin both Afghanistan and Iraq, we fought the most humane wars in the history of the world."
He might believe making someone sit in an uncomfortable position is torture while I believe that someone raping a spouse and nine-year-old daughter in front of a husband under the Hussein regime is torture.
I will leave that to others to decide. I am also quite sure that Mr. Ruby thinks that the Abu Graib fiasco in some way demonstrates that the military condones torture.
We will never convince some people that what happened there was an utter lack of supervision and what we have seen is that the involved members were punished.
It should be remembered that by the time most of America knew about Abu Graib, the U.S. military was already investigating the incident.
In the end, Mr. Ruby and the LCR line up with people like Cindy Sheehan who have called for the military to get out of Iraq and out of "occupied New Orleans."
That is what I expect from the LCR. I can only assume that the LCR and Mr. Ruby would have liked the military to stay out of New Orleans.
As always, I stand ready to meet and debate these facts with anyone.

Mature, rational and understanding are not words often associated with undergraduate students, but in Shorten's case perfectly describe the manner in which he assessed the state of fraternity culture at the University today.
As an undergraduate, I was both a member of a fraternity and an opinion columnist for the Kansan.
I never put words to paper because I never thought I was able to objectively write on this topic without focusing on the ignorance of those who criticize fraternities on false grounds, to the detriment of the positive light I could shed on Greeks.
Now as a law student, it is easier for me to look at greek culture from the outside and while — like in anything — there are areas for improvement, the positive effects of fraternities both on their members and the outside world vastly outweigh their faults.
ing those people but instead on dispelling their erroneous beliefs through factual examples.
Thanks, Scott, for being a fantastic representative for all of us.
Shorten, on the other hand,
was able to accomplish just that.
Never defensive and consistently

misconceptions of fraternity life, but

Lew Perkins, Athletics Director, previously ensured that the facility would not affect graduation traditions.
Perkins said when the facility was built, it would help the other athletic teams at the University as well.
"The entire KU Athletics family is indebted to Tom for his generosity." Perkins said. "By consolidating all football activities into one area, the facility will free up space needed for other sports. In addition, this football facility will help KU football be more competitive with other Big 12 programs."
"Our coaching staff and players are all committed to making the KU football program a perennial power in the Big 12, and Tom's generosity will help us achieve that goal." Mangino said.
The Anderson family of Los Angeles donated $3.15 million, and the Kimbell family of Hutchinson, Kan., donated three million last year to contribute to the facility.
Mangino brought up the idea for the new facility after a practice last season.
Kivisto, originally from Chicago, graduated from the University in 1974 with a degree in pre-medicine
and psychology. He received his masters degree in urban planning from the University.
Kivisto is currently president and CEO of SemGroup L.P. of Tulsa, Okla., a midstream energy service company. Last year, his company was ranked 14th in earnings among private companies by Forbes Magazine with $1.4 billion.
Kivisto started for three seasons on the Jayhawk basketball team in the early '70s and averaged 8.3 points per game during his career. Kivisto is also a member of the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame.
In recent years, numerous schools in the Big 12 Conference made improvements to their practice facilities, similar to those proposed at Kansas. In the last five years, Oklahoma built a new locker room, training area, and weight room. Texas Tech completed an $84 million improvement to its stadium and practice facilities.
"Athletics was a huge part of my life at KU, and I respect and appreciate what Lew Perkins is doing for athletics and for KU," Vikisto said.
Missouri will undergo a $16 million improvement of its facilities, which will include a new weight room, dining hall, larger offices and meeting rooms.

New Orleans partly reopened
BY JUIIA SILVERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — With Hurricane Rita gone, the mayor picked up where he left off with his plan to reopen New Orleans, inviting people in one largely unscathed neighborhood to come back yesterday and "help us rebuild the city."
A line extended out of a Winn-Dixie supermarket as locals stocked up on ice, milk and other staples in Algiers, the first New Orleans neighborhood officially opened by Mayor Ray Nagin.
At a Texaco station, owner Mohammed Mehmood returned to find damage both from the storm and from looting. His gas pumps were vandalized, his computers did not work, and his ceiling was about to collapse.
caped flooding from Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Unlike most of the rest of the city, Algiers has electricity and clean water.
"I have immediate problems," he said. "I have no money. They broke and stole everything."
A steady line of cars waited 20 to 25 minutes to get through checkpoints all day, police spokesman Capt. Marlon Defillo said. He had no estimate of how many people returned.
The neighborhood of 57,000 people lies across the Mississippi River from the main part of New Orleans and largely es-
"With Hurricane Rita behind us, the task at hand is to bring New Orleans back," Nagin said. "We want people to return and help us rebuild the city. However, we want everyone to assess the risks and make an informed decision about re-entry plans."
In neighboring St. Bernard Parish, so heavily damaged by flooding that many buildings will have to be demolished, officials allowed residents in yesterday to see their sodden homes.
The mayor said a curfew would be in place from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. and warned there were limited police and firefighting services and no critical-care hospital services.

Opening of conference play to showcase playmakers
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
Missouri will open its conference season with a home game against No. 2 Texas.
Conference play begins this weekend and teams in the North division will get an opportunity to distinguish themselves.
The game will feature two versatile and similar quarterbacks in Texas' Vince Young and Missouri's Brad Smith. Smith has had a good start to the 2005 season, racking up 343 yards rushing and 748 passing yards and has accounted for 10 touchdowns.
Young is being mentioned as
one of the favorites for the Heisman Trophy and has amassed 202 yards rushing and thrown for 544 passing yards in Texas' first three games.
"I don't like to compare Brad Smith and Young, but they both have a lot of talent," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "They are both great athletes, and Young will become a better trooper the more he plays."
Last season, Young threw three interceptions against Missouri and was knocked out of the game with a bruised sternum. Smith threw for 185 yards and two interceptions last year. Texas won 28-20.
Another key matchup for
Big 12 North leverage will be in Lincoln, Neb., when the 23rd-ranked Iowa State Cyclones play the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Iowa State enters the game 3-0 and is coming off a come-from-behind victory at Army. Nebraska also enters the game 3-0 after a bye week last weekend. In Nebraska's last game, the Cornhuskers defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers at home 7-6.
"Nebraska is a tough team to overcome," McCarney said. "Frankly, we have been embarrassed over in Lincoln several times. The great tradition and environment at Nebraska should bring out the best in our team, and it will be a challenge."
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said he knew how important this game was to the Bi2 race.

Vince Young, then Texas sophomore quarterback, looks to pitch the ball during the second half of the game last season at Memorial Stadium. The Texas Longhorns, one of just three Big 12 teams in the top 25, are ranked No. 2 in the country behind the USC Trojans.

Change in tradition not always negative
Kansas basketball is going through an array of changes in tradition, such as the appearance of the fieldhouse, the loss of the scoreboard that was home to the famous "dancing nachos" sequence, and the rescheduling of Late Night in the Phog.

The NCAA thought that the late nights were a concern for the travel of fans, students and coaches. This is such a ridiculous rule, how can you even respond to a statement like that?
But hey, Kansas basketball still has its traditions that make it great for the fans. It still has the inventor of basketball, it still has the fieldhouse, it still has the rock chalk chant, and hopefully will have a new high-tech version of the dancing nachos on the new video board.

Staff and faculty members and the Athletics Department have eased tensions following last season's debate about seats at men's basketball games.

Faculty and staff were warned this year that they may have difficulty seeing the court in certain sections because of standing students, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.

"They were very well-aware of where the students sit." he said.
Many faculty ticket holders last season had difficulty seeing the court in several sections because of standing students.
The department asked students to stand on the floor; rather than on the bleachers, in response to the complaints.
Students will be asked again this year not to stand on the bleachers.
Despite this warning, Mar-
chiony said he was not aware of any faculty or staff members returning their tickets for a refund.
Susan Twombly, education professor and faculty ticket liaison, said she had heard of at least one faculty member who was upset about the seating situation.
The faculty member was informed of the ticket policy, attended the select-a-seat program and was able to choose seats he liked. Twombly said.
"We have had numerous people tell us how happy they
were to be able to select a seat." Twombly said, "even if they did not get the exact seat they wanted."
Marchiony said the order of faculty seat-selection for members who ordered a full-season package was based on longevity at the University of Kansas. Faculty members who ordered partial-ticket packages selected
The ticket policy states that faculty and staff members could ask for refunds if they could not find acceptable seats when it was their time to choose, Twombly said.
Faculty and staff were warned this year that they may have difficulty seeing the court in certain sections because of standing students, said Jim Marchiony associate athletics director.
Faculty members who ordered basketball tickets were able to select their seats last week during the select-a-seat program held at Allen Fieldhouse. Faculty and staff are allotted 1,600 to 1,800 tickets to men's basketball games, Marchionny said.
Their tickets are in the lower level of the southwest, southeast and northeast corners of the fieldhouse.

The Kansas men's rugby team lost its first game of the season 20-15 in a close loss to Kansas State on Saturday.

Andrew Meyer, Woodbridge, Va., senior, said Kansas had played a disappointing first half.

hawks came out ready to go in the second half. Kansas scored two tries.
Hannaford and Trevor Hendricks, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, scored those points, Hendrix's first of the season. The points were not enough to hold off the Wildcats.
Kansas rugby coach Larry Clark said the team was ready to grow after the disappointing loss.
"It was our first game of the season, and we had a strong showing." Clark said.
"However, it's early in the season, so we are still searching for our strengths and weaknesses. We're looking forward to building on this."
Team captain Jordan Brown, Whitefish Bay, Wisc., senior, said the team has tried to develop its 15 freshmen this year.
"It was a disappointing loss, but it was good to get the young players into the game to see what they can do," Brown said. "We're still building, and that showed when we came on strong in the end."
Tim Williams, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, said players still had high expectations for the future of the young team after the Kansas State game.
"We're building a dynasty." Williams said.
The team's next game will be against Oklahoma State.

Pennington's injury was confirmed by a person with knowledge of his condition, but who declined to be identified because the team had not made an official announcement.
NEW YORK — Jets quarterback Chad Pennington will miss the rest of the season because of a torn right rotator cuff, The Associated Press learned last night.
Jets QB injured, out for season
An MRI exam showed Pennington tote his rotator cuff in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to Jacksonville. The NFL Network originally reported the injury, the second time Pennington has had this tear in less than a year.
Backup Jay Fiedler also damaged his shoulder Sunday and will be sidelined, leaving thirdstringer Brooks Bolinger to play quarterback against Baltimore this weekend.
During the third down of the Jets' first series of the second half, Pennington was taken down by Bobby McCray and fumbled for the second straight down. He recovered the ball, but injured his shoulder on the play.
Fiedler came in, but was hit while completing a 16-yard pass to Justin McCareins — his sixth play in place of Pennington — and hurt his shoulder.
Pennington came back to lead the Jets (1-2) on two scoring drives, both capped by field goals, but clearly was hurting and said after the game that the injury felt "similar to last year."

Practice so far has been limited to conditioning and skill drills, but Henrickson said she was encouraged by the progress her players were making.
Mosley also was invited to the USA Basketball National Team Trials last summer to try out for the USA Olympic team.
The Kansas women's basketball team has been through a lot of changes in the past few years.
The most celebrated player of this year's class is Shaquina Mosley. Mosley enters as a junior after spending two years at Central Arizona College. She was named the 2005 junior college/community college player of the year by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
Two years ago, long-time coach Marian Washington and interim coach Lynette Woodard retired. Last year was the first for coach Bonnie Henrickson.
Kansas will have an international flavor with the addition of Serbians Marija Zinic and Ivana Catic. Catic has experience playing basketball in the United States and attended high school in West Virginia. Zinic had never visited the United States before enrolling at the University. She picked Kansas because she was friends with Catic. The two are roommates this year.
"It can be a difficult transition."
This year the team will undergo a major face-lift, with six newcomers joining six returning players to complete the 2005-06 squad.
"We brought them in here knowing we would need them on the floor." Henrickson said.
Henrickson said. "Maria is still adjusting to the American style of basketball, which is much different than what she is used to."
Another pair of teammates will join the team this year from a little closer to Lawrence. Jen Orgas and Katie Smith played high school
basketball together in Omaha, Neb. Orgas was the first player Henrickson signed. Smith joined the team later as a walk-on.
The final addition to this year's team is Sophronia Sallard, who plays guard and forward. She attended high school
in Syracuse, N.Y. Henrickson said that Sallard had spent the past few weeks adjusting to the pace of Division I college basketball.
The challenge for Henrickson will be to balance playing time so the veterans lead the
team, but still give the new players a chance at game experience.
She refused to speculate about roles for the season yet because she had only had limited practice time with the players.
Full practice begins with Late
Night on October 14th.
With six talented players coming in, Kansas fans could look forward to a season with higher expectations. And that's a change they could get used to.

Rockies rally for 6-5 victory

Colorado Rockies' Todd Greene, right, is congratulated at home plate by Garrett Atkins after hitting a three-run homer off Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Reitsma in the eighth inning yesterday in Atlanta. Colorado won 6-5.
BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves kept their champagne on ice. Instead, this was a night for a more poignant, personal celebration.
Todd Greene hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 6-5 victory over the Braves last night, preventing Atlanta from clinching at least a tie for its 14th straight division title.
While most of the Turner Field crowd groaned when Greene homered, a small group of family and friends cheered—including the catcher's father, Charles Greene, who's fought a long battle against lung and bladder cancer.
"My dad's having some trouble, but he was able to be here," said Todd Greene, a native of Augusta, Ga., who lives in suburban Atlanta during the offseason. "The last time he saw me play (in person) was when we were here last year."
Chris Reitsma (3-6) took over with one out in the eighth and didn't retire anone.
Colorado came all the way back from a four-run deficit, taking advantage of the Braves' shaky bullpen.
Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins hit back-to-back singles before Greene drove a 1-2 pitch into the center-field seats, a 406-foot shot for his seven homer and the Rockies' first lead of the night.
"With all my family and friends here, yes, it was the biggest hit I've ever gotten," Greene said.
Reitsma threw a changeup where he wanted — low and over the inside corner — then watched in disbelief as the ball sailed out of park.
"It was 3 inches off the
The Braves came into the night hoping to clinch the NL East championship, needing a win over the Rockies coupled with a loss by second-place Philadelphia:
ground." Reitsma said. "What can you do? I don't know if he was looking for it. Whatever. You've got to tip your hat to a guy in that situation. It's not fun to do, but that's why they call it the big leagues. It was a good pitch in a good location."
Ryan Speier (2-1) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win. Brian Fuentes worked the ninth for his 31st save, ending the game by striking out pinch-hitter Brian Jordan with a man on third.
Space had already been cleared on the facade in left field, where the team displays pennants for each of its playoff seasons.
But there was nothing to watch on the scoreboard much of the night. The Phillies' game against the New York Mets, set to begin a half-hour earlier than the one in Atlanta, was delayed
for more than 2 1/2 hours by rain in Philadelphia.
The Phillies and Mets finally began about the time the Rockies were coming to bat in the seventh, ruining any chance of a celebration at Turner Field.
Colorado's comeback made it a moot point — there would be no outright division title on this night.
"I'm kind of glad," said Adam LaRoche, who homered for the Braves. "If we had won, we would have come in here and watched television for two hours to see if the Phillies won. I'm not saying I would have complained. Obviously, that would have been better than this. But it will all work out."
Jeff Francoeur also homered for the Braves, and Johnny Estrada's two-run double off rookie starter Mike Esposito pushed Atlanta to a seemingly comfortable 5-1 lead in the fifth.
Colorado began its comeback in the sixth, though a baserunning blunder messed up a potentially huge inning.
straight hits, including Todd Helton's RBI double and Garrett Atkins' run-scoring single.
On Helton's hit, Luis Gonzalez came streaking around third, intent on scoring another run. But coach Mike Gallego threw up the signal to stop, Gonzalez fell down, got caught between bases, tried to score and was thrown out easily by Rafael Furcal's relav.
Blaine Boyer replaced starter Horacio Ramirez and gave up two more hits, putting the potential tying run on base. But the rookie escaped the jam by striking out Greene and Dustan Mohr.
In the next inning, Boyer threw his first pitch in the dirt and appeared to be in pain.
He rubbed at his right biceps when trainer Jeff Porter came to the mound, and manager Bobby Cox signaled for a new pitcher.
Boyer has been bothered by a sore shoulder, and Cox mentioned the biceps as being the source of the pain.
The pitcher said simply: "It's just my arm."
Ramirez gave up eight hits and three runs in 5 1-3 lmings.
The Rockies started with five
The team said Boyer was day to day, but it's too early to tell how long he might be out.
Esposito has yet to win in two big league starts, giving up nine hits and all five Atlanta runs in 4 1-3 innings.
Notes — Colorado had 15 hits. ... Francoeur had the first two-walk game of his young career — a sign of growing patience for a hitter who went 131 plate appearances before drawing his first walk in the majors. ... Helton extended his hitting streak to 13 games. ... Greene her homer ruined Ramirez's chance to tie his career high of 12 wins. ... Atkins had three hits and two RBIs.

BY PAT MILTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Yankees star Derek Jeter has received a threaten letter reportedly warning him to stop dating white women or "he'll be shot or set on fire."
FBI special agent Scott Wilson, speaking by phone from Cleveland, confirmed the bureau's probe yesterday, saying "we have an ongoing open investigation into racially threatening letters to Jeter and others across the country."
He declined to comment further.
The New York Police Department has also investigated the matter.
The Daily News reported yesterday that the hate mail to the Yankees' 31-year-old captain called him a "traitor to his race" for dating white women. It warned him "to stop or he'll be shot or set on fire," the News said.
The Daily News reported that others received similar threats.
including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jason Taylor and the parents of tennis star James Blake.
Jeter, picked by People magazine as one of the world's most eligible bachelors, has been linked with models, singers, actresses and athletes of various racial and ethnic backgrounds in New York's gossip columns. His mother is white and his father is black.
The NYPD's hate crimes unit recently completed a four-month investigation into the letter to Jeter — mailed to Yankee Stadium earlier this season, according to Detective Brian Sessa.
In an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS" "60 Minutes," Jeter said that he and his sister were taunted for being bi-racial while growing up in Michigan. But Jeter said that he has never heard any racial epithets from the fans at Yankee Stadium in his 11 seasons as a Yankee.
The threats have been traced to the Cleveland area.

Son of former Jayhawk signs to play in 2006-07
Brady Morningstar, the son of former Kansas basketball star Roger Morningstar, will play basketball for the Jayhawks next season. Morningstar, who played high school basketball at Lawrence Free State High School, committed to Kansas this past weekend.
Morningstar told rivals.com he decided to commit after a visit with Kansas basketball coach Bill Self and his staff.
"Coach Bill Self and Coach Joe Dooley came to my school on Saturday," Morningstar told rivals.com. "I gave them a tour of the offices, campus and my
room. It was really great to see a couple of faces from my hometown. After the coaches and I talked for a couple of hours, I decided that I was going to attend Kansas."
Morningstar was also being recruited by Tennessee, Northern Illinois, Texas Christian and West Virginia. He is expected to be a scholarship athlete for the Jayhawks during the 2006-2007 season, according to rivals.com.
The 6-foot-3 shooting guard is spending this year at The New Hampton School, a prep school in New Hampshire.

Commission,union spar over penalties
BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Baseball players offered to accept a stiffer penalty for first-time steroid offenders — 20 games instead of 10 days — along with agreeing to amphetamine tests, but their proposal yesterday still fell short of what commissioner Bud Selig wanted.
In an April 25 letter to the union, Selig called for a 50-game suspension for an initial positive test, a 100-game ban for second-time offenders and a lifetime ban for a third violation.
Union head Donald Fehr's response said Selig's proposal was meant to quiet criticisms of baseball's current policy, not deter steroid use.
"We share your concern about the criticism our program has received, and in response, the players have demonstrated, several times now, their willingness to take all reasonable measures in response." Fehr wrote.
Nine players have been suspended this year under the MLB program, with Baltimore's Rafael Palmeiro the most prominent.
"Doubling it is good," Orioles player representative Jay Gibbons said before last night's game against the New York Yankees. "I think 10 is a little light.
"Ten you can get away with as a team. You can do without a guy for 10 days, but 20, you're kind of hurting your ballclub, too. Not just your own public scrutiny, but you're hurting your ballclub to win."
Fehr's letter came before tomorrow's congressional hearings on steroids in sports, the latest in a series of sessions on Capitol Hill. Selig and Fehr are expected to join the commissioners and union heads of the NFL, NBA and NHL in testifying about legislation to standardize testing and punishment policies.
"It's good to see the players' union moving in the right direction. But it remains to be seen whether this is good enough for members of Congress," said Rob White, spokesman for House Government Reform Committee chairman Tom Davis, R-Va.
In a telephone interview, Fehr said he released the union's position because of the upcoming hearing and to ensure players are up to date before they scatter when the regular season ends Sunday. He's met separately with players on all 30 teams since April "to give everybody an opportunity to weigh in who wanted to.
Fehr said the sides disagree "on what the first penalty should be and the first penalty range."
"We always thought there was a need for a review," he said. "You don't have a cookie-cutter approach. The better approach if you can is to gauge the individual facts and circumstances."
Fehr said that while Selig publicly called for 50-game suspensions for first-time offenders, management negotiators proposed it be a range of 50-60 games, giving players the right to ask an arbitrator to lower it to 40 games.
Rob Manfred, executive vice president of labor relations in the commissioner's office, did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
"Twenty games are not enough," baseball spokesman Rich Levin said. "Also, the union's proposal is not three strikes and you're out. It is three strikes and maybe you're out."
Baseball began testing for steroids in 2003, but players were not identified by name. Because more than 5 percent of tests were positive, penalties began
in 2004 under rules that were scheduled to run through 2006.
"I think it's great," Detroit's Brandon Inge said of the union's response. "I'm glad they're cleaning up the sport. I don't like it that anything can be tainted with an illegal substance."
Fehr said that during recent negotiations with management, the union agreed to have:
- every player tested at the start of spring training and at least one additional time.
—the possibility that a firsttime offender's suspension could rise up to 30 games if there were aggravating factors, or be lowered to as few as 10 games if an arbitrator finds mitigating circumstances.
— first-time offenders for ampetamine use receive treatment, with discipline starting with a second offense.
—the penalty for a second positive steroid test increase from 30 days to 75 games, with the possibility an arbitrator could increase it to as many as 100 games or lower it to as few as 50 games.
— the commissioner impose "such discipline as you believe appropriate, including a permanent ban" for a third positive test "provided that it is consistent with just cause and subject to arbitral review."
— much of the drug program's administration moved to a "jointly selected independent expert" from the current management-union joint committee.
the provision calling for the program to be halted in the event of a government investigation be narrowed.
Some congressmen have criticized baseball for not adopting the standard of the World Anti-Doping Agency, which in most cases calls for two-year suspensions for first offenses and lifetime bans for second positives.

NFL
Chiefs' defense reverts to 2004 form
80
David Zalubowski/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Denver Broncos tight end Rod Smith pulls in a pass on a 19-yard reception against the Kansas City Chiefs during the third quarter in Denver last night. Smith became the first undrafted player in NFL history to surpass 10,000 yards.
Broncos too much on both sides of ball
BY EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Rod Smith,
Mike Anderson and the Denver
Broncos made that newfangled
Kansas City defense seem a
lot like the old one. And that
vaunted Chiefs offense looked
pretty lame, too.
"I didn't do much but just guided them down the field," Plummer said.
Anderson ran for a 44-yard touchdown and Smith became the first undrafted player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards receiving last night, as the Broncos handled Kansas City from start to finish in a 30-10 victory.
Jake Plummer went 13-of-18 for 152 yards — including a 12-yard TD to Smith — and ran for a score on fourth-and-goal from the 1, an efficient performance that was more than enough to blow Out Tent Green and the Chiefs.
Green finally threw his first touchdown of the season with 2 minutes left—a 21-yard pass to Samie Parker — but it was cosmetic, a score that helped Dick Vermeil avoid his worst loss as an NFL coach and the Chiefs avoid matching their worst loss in the 46-year history of this AFC West series.
Green had 27 TD passes last year for the NFLs most productive offense. The Chiefs (2-1) were anything but productive on this night.
Priest Holmes finished with only 61 yards and backfieldmate Larry Johnson had 13 yards on eight carries.
Harassed by Gerard Warren and Courtney Brown two members of Denver's revamped defensive line Green finished 23-of-44 for 221 yards and the garbage touchdown.
"I think we proved we can play with the best of them,"
Broncos defensive end Trevor Pryce said. "That was the best offense in the NFL, make no doubt about it."
When the Broncos (2-1) weren't making Kansas City look bad, the Chiefs were doing it themselves. They finished with 118 yards in penalties, including eight infractions in the first half while the Broncos were cruising to a 20-0 lead.
The perennially soft Kansas City defense added players this season — most notably defensive backs Patrick Surtain and Sammy Knight and linebacker Kendrell Bell — and when the Chiefs allowed a total of 24
points over the first two games, it looked like the fixes were working.
They took a big step backward against the Broncos, who finally started clicking after two rugged games to start the season.
Anderson, who has struggled since hurting his ribs in the first
"I think we proved we can play with the best of them. That was the best offense in the NFL."
Trevor Price
Denver Broncos defensive end
half of the opener against Miami, went through a huge hole untouched in the first quarter for his long score and a 10-0 lead.
"We didn't want to sit back," Anderson said. "We wanted to go right at them. That's why the first score was so important. We had to run the ball to make the play action so effective."
The Broncos used Anderson to work the clock in the second half and he finished with 98 yards on 20 carries.
Three plays after Anderson's touchdown, Brown recovered his second fumble of the season and the Broncos scored right away, when Plummer saw Smith at the back of the end zone for the 12-yard score.
The Denver receiver caught seven passes for 80 yards. He hit his milestone with a 19-yard catch in the third quarter, making him the 24th player to reach 10,000 yards. He celebrated in his typical understated style — getting up and lining up for the next play. Five plays later, Plummer bootlegged in from a yard to give the Broncos a 27-3 lead.
Early in the fourth quarter, Smith took a rough hit from Knight after catching an 11-yard pass, but walked off the field under his own power. He was diagnosed with a concussion and did not return. The Broncos also lost cornerback Champ Bailey to a hamstring injury in the second quarter.

Iowa State is led by Bret Meyer, sophomore quarterback. Meyer has thrown for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns in the Cyclones' first three games.
N e braska is led by senior running back Cory Ross. Ross has 381 yards for the season, but has found the end zone only once.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said he was aware of the challenge Oklahoma presented, and said he thought his team would be ready.
The key other m a t c h up in the North is K a n s a S state at Oklahoma
ma.
Kansas State is 3-0 after beating North Texas at home last weekend 54-7. Parrish Fisher, freshman running back, set the tone for the Wildcats when had more than 200 yards of total offense and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Fisher was subbing for Thomas Clayton who did not play after being arrested last weekend. It is not known whether Clayton will play this weekend.
Oklahoma enters the game 1-2 and is looking for a home victory before playing Texas next weekend.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said he was aware of the challenge Oklahoma presented, and said he thought his team would be ready.
"Oklahoma has too many great players and great coaches not to be an outstanding team, and I know they will be ready for us," Snyder said. "Year in and year out, the Big 12 becomes harder, and it is difficult to stay on top."

THE CAMPUS IS USED FOR A variety of ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING CAMPING, SPORTS LEAGUES, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.
Empty fields northwest of Shenk Sports Complex at 23rd and Iowa St. are under consideration as a location for a new student parking lot. The lot would accommodate about 1,500 spaces and would replace the Lied Center as the Park and Ride Lot.
A 'lot' of new parking coming to West Campus
WWW.KANSAN.COM
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Students vexed with on-campus parking could have 1,500 new spaces to choose from as early as next August, with the construction of a Park and Ride lot on West Campus.
The ground-level, uncovered lot will be located northwest of the Shenk Recreational Sports Complex, at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets. The lot will cost an estimated $10.4 million, which includes the cost of lighting and other necessities for the lot.
"We'll all be paying for it," Cohen said.
The Kansas Development Finance Authority, a committee that funds state-run institutions, approved the financing of the lot yesterday, said Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations. The lot will be funded by revenue bonds issued by the state, which the Parking Department will pay back through parking fees.
Once the new lot is built, the Lied Center will no longer be a Park and Ride lot, although 200 to 250 spaces will still be available at the Lied Center for overflow from
the Daisy Hill lots. Also, the bus system will be expanded to account for the longer routes.
The new lot will solve two problems. First, the current Park and Ride lot at the Lied Center wasn't built to handle the amount of bus traffic it has gotten, and the material was deteriorating, said Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the Parking Commission.
Secondly, the University of Kansas faces a parking shortage of as much as 3,000 spaces in the next few years, according to a study by the consulting firm Chance Management Advisors. The Parking Department hired the firm to study the University's parking situation and suggest solutions.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said there were only two options to ease parking problems on campus: the Parking Department could either build a garage or another lot on West Campus.
— Edited by Becca Evanhoe
SK Design Group, a civil engineering firm from Overland Park, has been hired to design the lot. Hultine said she hoped construction models and plans would be ready for review in December.

THE HISTORY OF THE SEA LINES
Let there be light
New lights to help secure paths home
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
lKANSAN STAFF WRITER
The pathway home to Rieger Scholarship Hall will be a little brighter with the addition of security lighting.
The Department of Student Housing has installed 12 lights in the area that will light the north half of the 1300 block of Ohio Street. The security lighting will brighten up the area for residents who walk back and forth to the Kansas Union parking garage.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the lights would be turned on next week when the power will be hooked up.
He said the addition of lights would provide a noticeable change to an area that previously had little lighting.
Quincy Nicole Jones, Wichita freshman, said the new lights would help her walk back from campus because walking around the area at night was frightening.
She currently takes shortcuts to areas where there is adequate lighting to get home safely.
"It's kind of dangerous," she said. "Especially if you're walking by yourself."
A proposal to have the women of Rieger Hall park in the Alumni Place lots — located next to Rieger Hall — and sell the allotted 32 Union garage passes available to all scholarship hall residents was rejected by the University, said Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior, and member of the parking commission.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said the proposal was not accepted because the University and Community Advisory Committee had already reached
an agreement and did not want to break that commitment.
Rejection of the proposal resulted in Rieger Hall residents parking in the Union garage.
Britta Tobias, Osage City
freshman, has to make the walk and said lighting in the area was needed but she still did not feel safe parking in the Union garage.

Steve Alvarez (left) and Aaron Kaser (right), F& O Electric Shop employees, aim to finish the lighting near Rieger Scholarship Hall, which is located between 13th and 14th streets off Ohio. The new lighting should ensure better safety for residents in the vicinity.
Scholarship Halls have offered to switch parking permits with the women of Rieger Hall but the Parking Department said that was not possible.

International instructors break barriers

Brennan Metzler arrived on the third floor of Strong Hall for calculus on his first day of class freshman year. He remembered being taken aback when he saw students packed in one corner of the classroom and a group of girls in another complaining about the teacher, whom Metzler could not understand.
Metzler's experience is not an uncommon one for a number of students on campus. The University has 197 international graduate teaching assistants, almost 21 percent of all GTAs on the Lawrence

Chiefs' defense reverts to 2004 form
80
David Zalubowski/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Denver Broncos tight end Rod Smith pulls in a pass on a 19-yard reception against the Kansas City Chiefs during the third quarter in Denver last night. Smith became the first undrafted player in NFL history to surpass 10,000 yards.
Broncos too much on both sides of ball
BY EDDIE PELLS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Rod Smith,
Mike Anderson and the Denver
Broncos made that newfangled
Kansas City defense seem a
lot like the old one. And that
vaunted Chiefs offense looked
pretty lame, too.
Anderson ran for a 44-yard touchdown and Smith became the first undrafted player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards receiving last night, as the Broncos handled Kansas City from start to finish in a 30-10 victory.
Jake Plummer went 13-of-18 for 152 yards — including a 12-yard TD to Smith — and ran for a score on fourth-and-goal from the 1, an efficient performance that was more than enough to blow out Trent Green and the Chiefs.
"I didn't do much but just guided them down the field," Plummer said.
Green finally threw his first touchdown of the season with 2 minutes left—a 21-yard pass to Samie Parker—but it was cosmetic, a score that helped Dick Vermeil avoid his worst loss as an NFL coach and the Chiefs avoid matching their worst loss in the 46-year history of this AFC West series.
Green had 27 TD passes last year for the NFLs most productive offense. The Chiefs (2-1) were anything but productive on this night.
Priest Holmes finished with only 61 yards and backfieldmate Larry Johnson had 13 yards on eight carries.
Harassed by Gerard Warren and Courtney Brown — two members of Denver's revamped defensive line — Green finished 23-of-44 for 221 yards and the garbage touchdown.
"I think we proved we can play with the best of them,"
Broncos defensive end Trevor Pryce said. "That was the best offense in the NFL, make no doubt about it."
When the Broncos (2-1) weren't making Kansas City look bad, the Chiefs were doing it themselves. They finished with 118 yards in penalties, including eight in-
points over the first two games, it looked like the fixes were working.

half of the opener against Miami, went through a huge hole untouched in the first quarter for his long score and a 10-0 lead.
"We didn't want to sit back," Anderson said. "We wanted to go right at them. That's why the first score was so important. We had to run the ball to make the play action so effective."
The Broncos used Anderson to work the clock in the second half and he finished with 98 yards on 20 carries.
The Denver receiver caught seven passes for 80 yards. He hit his milestone with a 19-yard catch in the third quarter, making him the 24th player to reach 10,000 yards. He celebrated in his typical understated style — getting up and lining up for the next play. Five plays later, Plummer bootlegged in from a yard to give the Broncos a 27-3 lead.
Three plays after Anderson's touchdown, Brown recovered his second fumble of the season and the Broncos scored right away, when Plummer saw Smith at the back of the end zone for the 12-yard score.
Early in the fourth quarter, Smith took a rough hit from Knight after catching an 11-yard pass, but walked off the field under his own power. He was diagnosed with a concussion and did not return. The Broncos also lost cornerback Champ Bailey to a hamstring injury in the second quarter.

"Oklahoma has too many great players and great coaches not to be an outstanding team, and I know they will be ready for us," Snyder said. "Year in and year out, the Big 12 becomes harder, and it is difficult to stay on top."

PARKING DEPARTMENT
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Empty fields northwest of Shenk Sports Complex at 23rd and Iowa St. are under consideration as a location for a new student parking lot. The lot would accommodate about 1,500 spaces and would replace the Lied Center as the Park and Ride Lot.

A 'lot' of new parking coming to West Campus
WWW.KANSAN.COM
BY GABY SOUZA

ksANAN STAFF WRITER
Students vexed with on-campus parking could have 1,500 new spaces to choose from as early as next August, with the construction of a Park and Ride lot on West Campus.
The ground-level, uncovered lot will be located northwest of the Shenk Recreational Sports Complex, at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets. The lot will cost an estimated $10.4 million, which includes the cost of lighting and other necessities for the lot.
The Kansas Development Finance Authority, a committee that funds state-run institutions, approved the financing of the lot yesterday, said Todd Cohen, associate director of University Relations. The lot will be funded by revenue bonds issued by the state, which the Parking Department will pay back through parking fees.
"We'll all be paying for it." Cohen said.
Once the new lot is built, the Lied Center will no longer be a Park and Ride lot, although 200 to 250 spaces will still be available at the Lied Center for overflow from
the Daisy Hill lots. Also, the bus system will be expanded to account for the longer routes.
The new lot will solve two problems. First, the current Park and Ride lot at the Lied Center wasn't built to handle the amount of bus traffic it has gotten, and the material was deteriorating, said Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the Parking Commission.
Secondly, the University of Kansas faces a parking shortage of as much as 3,000 spaces in the next few years, according to a study by the consulting firm Chance Management Advisors. The Parking Department hired the firm to study the University's parking situation and suggest solutions.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said there were only two options to ease parking problems on campus: the Parking Department could either build a garage or another lot on West Campus.
SK Design Group, a civil engineering firm from Overland Park, has been hired to design the lot. Hultine said she hoped construction models and plans would be ready for review in December.

New lights to help secure paths home
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
The Department of Student Housing has installed 12 lights in the area that will light the north half of the 1300 block of Ohio Street. The security lighting will brighten up the area for residents who walk back and forth to the Kansas Union parking garage.
The pathway home to Rieger Scholarship Hall will be a little brighter with the addition of security lighting.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said the lights would be turned on next week when the power will be hooked up.
He said the addition of lights would provide a noticeable change to an area that previously had little lighting.
Quincy Nicole Jones, Wichita freshman, said the new lights would help her walk back from campus because walking around the area at night was frightening.
She currently takes shortcuts to areas where there is adequate lighting to get home safely.
"It's kind of dangerous," she said. "Especially if you're walking by yourself."
A proposal to have the women of Rieger Hall park in the Alumni Place lots — located next to Rieger Hall — and sell the allotted 32 Union garage passes available to all scholarship hall residents was rejected by the University, said Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior, and member of the parking commission.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said the proposal was not accepted because the University and Community Advisory Committee had already reached
Rejection of the proposal resulted in Rieger Hall residents parking in the Union garage.

What is a typical day like for you?
We'll that's hard to say we don't have class every day. When I'm not preparing for class or teaching, I do administrative things as director of the program. There are always tasks to be done in the regular course of things, but things are always coming up that have to be dealt with that one doesn't really plan on.
What is the hardest part about your job?
It's hard to say what specifically is the hardest part. It's sort of like asking me what's my favorite color. I don't really have one. The things I really enjoy about the job are working with the people in the program. I think we have a really fine group of staff members.
made was to make it a regular three-hour course with a lecture and discussion. And we also began to have faculty regularly teaching the program. They were actually assigned to the program whereas before, faculty involvement had always been on a voluntary overlook. We created a textbook for the program, which is in its third edition, and we're actually working on the fourth.
How long have you been director?
Twenty years
Of all the books you've read over the years, which books have been your favorites?
There are
books I really enjoy teaching. I've spent my career reading great books and many others as well. I particularly like teaching Plato, Chaucer and Machiavell. And as I say, these aren't my favorite books; They're ones I enjoy teaching. I get a special pleasure out of teaching them. Second semester I always enjoy teaching Voltaire and "Candide." I like talking about Darwin and Marx, and I like Virginia Wolfe.
In 20 years how has the program changed?

Once they get into Western Civ. they realize they needn't have been so afraid of it. There is a lot of reading — a fair amount is challenging reading — but we really do try to help students as much as possible with the reading and understanding of the material as much as possible.

RESEARCH
Device to help stroke victims
$3.9 million grant fuels KU professor's stroke research
BY TRAVIS ROBINET
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The National Institutes of Health gave University of Kansas School of Medicine professor Randolph Nudo a four-year grant worth $3.9 million to help him optimize the use of a device that could aid the recovery process of stroke victims.
Nudo, professor of molecular and integrative physiology, said with the grant, he would look at different types of electrical stimulation variables, such as frequency, pulse width, intensity and location of stimulation. He said he was trying to optimize those variables in primates.
With that information, Nudo said the device would send electric pulses to the brain from a stimulator. A small metal disc would be implanted by a neural surgeon on top of the cerebral cortex, near the area in the brain where a stroke had caused damage.
In the disc there is a wire that leads to the stimulator, which can be controlled to adjust parameters such as current and pulse. The disc has a FM receiver, allowing the stimulator to be remotely controlled from the outside.
Northstar Neuroscience, a Seattle-based company, is working closely with Nudo. John Bowers, vice president of business development at Northstar Neuroscience, said Nudo and his team were the pre-eminent researchers in the world for brain reorganization and neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability
to reorganize and respond to an injury.
During a stroke, oxygen supplies are cut off and brain cells die. Bowers said the most common disability is loss of hand and arm function.
Bowers said there was nothing wrong with the hand or arm, but the part of the brain sending signals that controlled them was no longer functioning. He said the first few weeks after a stroke, some patients regain function.
MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT
He said the cells that died were gone forever, but other areas of the brain would reorganize to try and take over the missing function.
"But that process doesn't go far enough." Bowers said.
A functional MRI shows the new area of the brain that controls the function. Bowers said that was where stimulation would take place.
Nudo's hypothesis was that during the patient's rehabilitation, the device would provide the brain cells around the damage enough low level electrical stimulation to make the cells more active and form new connections.
Randolph Nudo, director of the Landon Center of Aging, explains how the cortical stimulator works. Nudo has been using the device, along with physical therapy, to help monkeys that have suffered from strokes regain movement in their hands.
Nudo said all the aspects of stroke rehabilitation were not understood. He said physical rehabilitation after stroke modified the brain in a positive way. Clinical trials have shown that forcing patients to use their impaired limb can regain the limb's function, but there is only so much a patient can regain.
"They may be able to re-learn how to button a button, but probably not the skill for hand-writing," Nudo said.
Nudo said there had been trials on humans based on the results of Nudo's previous studies. The human trials were conducted by Northstar Neuroscience. Bowers said the first trial showed the device was safe and the second showed improvement in a patient's hand and
arm function by up to 30 percent.
Based on those results, Bowers said, Northstar Neuroscience now had FDA approval to conduct a thorough study of the device on humans.

Rivera nudged by New York Times rab
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DAVID BAUDER
NEW YORK — The New York Times acknowledged yesterday that Geraldo Rivera didn't nudge aside a Hurricane Katrina rescue worker on TV, and although Rivera called the statement "grudging and ungracious," he considered the case closed.
Rivera had been angry since critic Alessandra Stanley, in a column that ran on Sept. 5, said Rivera had "nudged an Air Force rescue worker out of the
way so his camera crew could tape him as he helped lift an older woman in a wheelchair to safety."
Fox News Channel distributed a tape of the telecast where no such nudge was visible.
In a column headlined "Even Geraldo Deserves a Fair Shake" on Sunday, the Times' public editor, Byron Calame, said the paper should set the record straight.
The Times ran an item under "Editors' Notes" on Tuesday — not a correction — that said editors understood Stanley's
comment to be a "figurative reference to Mr. Rivera's flamboyant intervention."
But the Times said numerous readers, including Calame, read the comment as factual. "The Times acknowledges that no nudge was visible on the broadcast," the note concluded.
"As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed," Rivera said. "I want everybody to remember who made the factual error and refused to correct it."
Rivera said the newspaper's editors "tailor their journalism on the basis of whether it's someone they like or respect or not, and I think it's really scandalous."
The Times had no further comment on the issue, a spokesman said.
Rivera wasn't too happy with Calame's column, either, which began with the lead: "One of the real tests of journalistic integrity is being fair to someone who might best be described by a four-letter word."
"What four-letter word do they have in mind?" Rivera asked. "Hero?"

Filmmaker meets controversy
Journalism graduate student Ranjit Arab utilizes the Dole Institute for his film documentaries
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ranjit Arab strives to make film documentaries that provide in-depth coverage about immigration issues in Kansas, and his confrontations with one official have not prevented him from making films with controversial topics.
Arab, a 35-year-old Lawrence graduate student in journalism, will screen "in-state," the newest documentary from Arab and his cameraman, Baldwin senior Aaron Paden, on campus tonight. Arab's "El Jardin" won two awards at the KAN Film Festival in 2003.
Arab's "in-state" focuses on a law that legislators passed in 2004, which granted in-state tuition for some undocumented immigrants at public universities, including the University of Kansas. The Federation for American Immigration Reform and 24 students sued Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, the Kansas Board of Regents and state university chancellors and presidents in 2004, Arab said. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2005.
"Making movies seemed to be the best way to get the point across," Arab said. "People can see the people who are affected by the laws rather than just reading about them."
During the making of "El Jardin," Arab made some unsuccessful attempts to interview Kansas State School Board member Connie Morris. He said he tried to ask her questions about her immigration policies, which sought to bar undocumented immigrants from attending Kindergarten through 12th grade in public schools.
"She just didn't feel obligated as a public figure to talk about her policies," Arab said. "She works for the citizens of the state. It really is her duty to answer those questions."
Making the films has not always gone smoothly for Arab, who has worked in media-related professions throughout Kansas until beginning graduate school recently.
Morris did not return phone calls or an e-mail message requesting an interview.
Penny Plamann, secretary to the
Sue Gamble, school board member,
said she didn't know why Morris had
given up on the press, but said that she
was present at a board meeting where
Morris refused an interview with Arab.
Gamble also said that Morris had recently made a habit of screening phone calls and e-mails, on which she has programmed an automatic response, to avoid the press.
board, said Morris had given up on the press.
According to an October 2004 article in The Hutchinson News, Morris reported Arab to the FBI "to ward off any possible stalking or terroristic behavior."
Arab said he made a Freedom of Information Act request to view the complaint, but the office said it had no record of such a complaint.
Arab, whose parents immigrated legally from India in the 1960s, made the documentaries to provide a voice for immigrants who would otherwise remain silent about their struggle for rights in Kansas. He said immigrants were afraid of being deported, put in prison or fined if they asserted themselves on certain issues.
"These are dangerous times — to
Gamble said she thought Morris accused Arab of possible stalking or terroristic behavior because of Morris' geographical background.
Arab hopes "in-state" will educate people on the issues that immigrants face in Kansas, he said. After screening the film in classrooms a number of times, Arab was surprised to learn how little people knew about immigrants and how much they paid in taxes, what rights they were entitled to and how they contributed to the economy, he said.
"OK, you've got Connie Morris from podunk Kansas. This man is asking her opinion," Gamble said. "Her best defense is to accuse him of this."
"There's a lack of understanding." Arab said. "We've reduced these people to titles like aliens and workers; We don't view them as people with goals, rights and aspirations."
be accused of that is no laughing matter," Arab said.

Spanish-speaking students visit campus for bilingual recruitment
Spanish-speaking high school students will have two days to learn about applying and coming to the University of Kansas. Special on-campus visits set up by the Office of Admissions and Scholarships will be held on Oct. 27 and Dec. 7. This is the first time the office has played host to specific on-campus visits for Spanish speakers.
Bilingual staff members will talk to students about applying for admission, financial aid and housing, said Lisa Pinamonti Kres, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
She said the University has held programs for Spanish-speaking students in Dodge City and Garden City, but never on campus.
"This is to provide an additional opportunity to understand the process of going to KU for Spanish-speaking students." Pinamonti Kress said.
Registration is based on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Unmanned ship explores ocean
BY RICHARD C. LEWIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The ship with all the gadgets and underwater rovers was stationed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but for the first time, the scientists directing the expedition were not on board.
They sat in rooms thousands of miles away.
"We're treated like the chief scientist on the ship that makes the decision about it. It's just that we're not there," said Deborah Kelley, a geology professor at the University of Washington in Seattle and the expedition's co-leader.
The scientists and technicians, at universities in Rhode Island, Washington state and New Hampshire, watched 42-inch plasma television screens in awe as unmanned submersibles poked around the Lost City hydrothermal vents — a two football field- sized forest of limestone chimneys on the ocean floor.
Wearing headsets, the expedition's leaders stationed at the University of Washington told engineers on the ship where to send the robotic vehicles and its high-definition video cameras, and what to explore next.
Supporters said the trip, which ended Aug. 1, has broad implications for future exploration of the oceans, which cover about 70 percent of Earth but remain mostly unexplored. For one, it shows ships can stay out at sea for as many as eight months of the year, since the scientists no longer need to be on board.
"No scientist will sit on (a ship) for that long, reading a book and eating popcorn for
the whole time, no way," said Robert Ballard, the founder of the Titanic who's credited with dreaming up the technology used on the Lost City expedition.
A combination of technology helped pull off the feat. The expedition used fiber-optic cables, satellite feeds and a special, high-speed Internet connection to transmit images by the rowing submersibles' lights and cameras at Lost City within 1.5 seconds — essentially live — to the three "control" rooms.
The images broadcast to the land-based scientists were stunning, said Jeffrey Karson, a geology professor at Duke University and the expedition's coleader. Karson, who explored Lost City in dives in 2000 and 2003, said the two submersibles, one shining a bright light over a wide area and the other filming with a high definition camera, gave scientists a more panoramic view of the vent field.
Steve Warmowski/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hydrothermal vents were first discovered by Ballard in 1977 near the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific. Those fields, called black smokers due to the color of the fluids released, are located around underwater volcanoes. But Lost City, discovered five years ago and nowhere near any undersea volcanoes, showed that vents could be found elsewhere. It's still the only vents of its kind found so far.
Lost City is a series of hydrothermal vents located at a northsouth underwater mountain chain called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which splits nearly the entire Atlantic Ocean. The site yields dramatic video because its limestone chimneys created by crystallized fluids can reach 200 feet in height.

Two split $100,000 Wendy's reward
SAN FRANCISCO — A businessman will split a $100,000 reward from Wendy's International Inc. with an anonymous tipster for helping solve the infamous "chili finger" case, the company said yesterday.
Mike Casey, who runs an asphalt plant in Las Vegas that employed both the man who lost the finger and the husband of the woman who claimed she bit into the digit, had complained last week he hadn't been compensated for the tip that helped authorities unravel the scheme.
"I did what they wanted
and they offered it, so I think I have it coming," he said at the time.
Wendy's, based in Dublin, Ohio, said it was grateful to all the tipsters who called a hot line set up when profits plunged after reports of the hoax hit headlines worldwide.
"We sincerely thank these citizens for stepping forward and calling the special hot line number with information that helped investigators break open this case," Wendy's officials said in a statement.
Company officials said the second recipient asked to remain anonymous.
here to convey information, Mukherjee said. "Yes, I'm from a different country but I know I am capable."
Casey could not be reached by phone at work yesterday.

In fact, being overqualified is a common problem among GTAs. Mehmet Dakir is from Istanbul, Turkey, and received his doctorate in economics this month from the University.
Dalkir worked as a teaching assistant for two semesters in Turkey, three semesters in Australia and then as a GTA at the University for three years. He said teaching in the United States was a radically different experience from other countries.
"On the first day I started writing formulas for calculus on the board," Dalkir said. "The students started panicking."
Dalkir said high schools in Turkey and Australia were more strict and rigorous in their curriculums. Students must pass a written test to complete their education. He said the questions on the exam were comparable to what a junior in college should know.
"in Turkey and Australia, they make it hell for them in high school," Dalkir said. "But in the United States, high schools are more fun, and the undergraduate is harder. That's why it takes more experience and patience to teach here."
Metzler, a mathematics and physics major, has since taken multiple classes with international GTAs. He said the more he went to his teacher's office and spoke with them in a personal setting, he had no difficulties with the class or learning the material.
"I think students that complain about their teachers are looking for an excuse or probably are not holding up their end of the bargain," Metzler said.

Tobias said residents of Rieger Hall plan to write a letter to the parking department asking it to switch parking permits with the mens halls.
Jones said parking near Rieger Hall would ease safety concerns, and please residents.
Donna Hultine, director of KU parking, said the proposal could be considered by the parking commission as long as the spaces in the Union garage were used.
"I think it is a necessity to have lights to be safe but we still need to have parking closer to the hall," she said.

Board OKs teaching intelligent design
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A rural school board showed a clear bias against teaching evolution before it pushed through a plan to introduce "intelligent design" to students, a former board member testified yesterday in a trial over whether the concept has a place in public schools.
Aralene "Barrie" Callahan, who was once on the Dover school board and is now among the challengers, said she believed the policy to teach intelligent design was religion-based.Eight families are trying to remove the theory from Dover Area School District curriculum, arguing that it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. They say it effectively promotes the Bible's view of creation.The school district argues it is letting students know there are differences of opinion about evolution, not endorsing any religious view.

BILOXI, Miss. - First lady Laura Bush made her reality TV debut yesterday, helping with a taping of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in a sweltering community building as she toured hurricane relief sites on the Mississippi coast.
Hundreds of people crowded into the Biloxi Community Center where a mountain of donated clothes covered a stage. Bush and Preston Sharp, a designer on the ABC TV show, greeted storm victims and handed out donated items from big plastic bins.
"Extreme Makeover" came to the coast to distribute items donated for victims of Katrina, which displaced as many as 1 million people in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Bush said she was struck by the devastation in Biloxi, where every building was damaged and mounds of rubble lined streets.
"It really is heartbreaking," she said.
A spokeswoman for the first lady said the "Extreme Makeover" segment would likely air in December.

Eight students die in Utah van crash
BY PAUL FOY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah State University van that crashed after a tire blew out, killing eight students and an instructor, was traveling over the 75-mph speed limit, a Highway Patrol trooper said yesterday.
The university has been inspecting its 50-van fleet and said it may stop using the top-heavy vehicles that sit high on their axles and have narrow tires.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued four warnings since 2001 about the safety hazards of 15-passenger vans.
Another of the university's 15-passenger vans rolled in 2001 near Laramie, Wyo., tossing around six volleyball players but leaving them without serious injury.
Trooper Jeff Nigbur said speed was a factor when the van overtook another vehicle Monday on a northern Utah highway before blowing its left rear tire. "They were definitely going over
the_posted_speed_limit" of 75 mph, he said.
None of the 11 occupants of the crushed Dodge van was wearing a safety belt, violating a school regulation, and all were ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over, according to a preliminary accident report from the Highwav Patrol.
The van was carrying agriculture students on a field trip. Two surviving students were listed in critical but stable condition at Ogden hospitals Tuesday night.
- The crashed van was among 10 or so kept by college departments and not returned daily to a motor pool where it might get more regular inspections, but maintenance records didn't indicate any problems with it, university spokesman John DeVilbiss said.
The blown tire had 16,000 miles of use,a moderate amount, DeVibiss said.
The instructor, Evan Parker, who died at the scene, had received training and certification to drive the van, DeVilbiss said.
ership works in isolation; its medical response capability is fragmented and ill-prepared to deal with a mass casualty event and ... DHS lacks an adequate medical support capability for its field operating units" said the report.
U.S. 'ill-prepared' to weather storms
Homeland Security officials said the problems identified in the Jan. 3 report were being addressed when the hurricanes hit. Secretary Michael Chertoff was reorganizing his department and created a new chief medical officer to take the lead on preparedness, they said.

"I thought it (the report) was a great place to start," said Dr. Jeffrey Runge, the department's new medical officer who started his job after Katrina.
Eight months before the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, an internal Homeland Security Department review warned that the nation was unprepared for a medical disaster and lacked a coherent plan for handling mass casualties.
The Associated Press
Government medical teams had difficulty coordinating and delivering help during 2004 hurricanes in Florida, said the report obtained by The Associated Press. The report also said there was inadequate planning for dealing with a surge of patients during a disaster like a biological or nuclear attack.
It called for creation of a uni-

Senate eyes next justice
BY JESSE J. HOLLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON—With John Roberts' confirmation as chief justice now assured, Republicans yesterday began pressuring the Senate's minority Democrats to promise what they called a fair confirmation hearing and vote for President Bush's next Supreme Court nominee.
Bush could announce his choice to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor as early as tomorrow, the same day the senators plan to overwhelmingly confirm Roberts as the Supreme Court's 17th chief justice.
Almost three-fourths of the 100-member Senate will vote for Roberts, a 50-year-old conservative U.S. Appeals judge and former appellate lawyer, as the replacement for William H. Rehnquist, who died earlier this month.
"If being intelligent,brilliant,a superb lawyer,the greatest legal mind of your generation and well qualified is not enough,what is?"

seat, confirmation could be tougher for O'Connor's replacement. She often has been a swing vote, a majority maker whose replacement could signal a shift on the court on many contentious issues including abortion and affirmative action.
Democrats have successfully filibustered several of Bush's conservative choices for lower courts, and Republicans are jumping out front to try and dissuade them from attempting to do the same to Bush's next pick, who probably will be someone more conservative than O'Connor.
The White House is on the verge of completing its consultation with the Senate on the second seat, spokesman Scott McCllanl yesterday. As many as 70 senators have been contacted, as have most of the 18 Judiciary Committee members, he said.

How to lose a guy in 10 seconds
HUMP DAY
Hey, baby, can I buy you a drink?
Sure, you want to look at pictures of my seven kids?
Uh.. I gotta go. CARE BEARS
Women of KU: I feel for you. I've watched as you sit uncomfortably at a bar while that guy hits on you. Your fingers anxiously strum your bottle or glass as you listen to him pitch his best game to you.
Matt Sevcik/KANSAN
Hump Day Get-Rid-of-a-Jerk Tactic #42
As he tells you about how he was "piss-pants drunk last night," you can't help but wonder why he smells like a petting zoo. And was that his car outside with the "2HOT4U" license plate?
Wait, did he just say his name is Cigarette Jack?
You put on a fake smile for about a minute. Then all you really want to do is reach for your mace and put this guy on the floor.
Earlier, when you were putting your makeup on, you were hoping tonight would be the night you found your knight in shining armor riding upon his noble steed.
You weren't expecting to meet a monkey wearing a "The Man ... The Legend" shirt.
And guess what? He wants to take you home on his bicycle equipped with early 1990s spoke-beads. Don't worry, they glow in the dark.
Girls, I know you feel frustrated when that guy won't leave you alone.

There are ways to get rid of him before he ruins any chances you had of getting with a guy who doesn't smell like nee.
You may think you know how to free yourself from his awkward, stalker-ish vibe. But then why is he everywhere you go that night?
Try these foolproof routines the next time you find yourself wanting to break a bottle over some creepy guy's dome.
Here's the scene; You see a guy who's been staring at you for a few minutes. Then, he makes his move toward you.
---
He tries to walk smooth and suave, but he spills beer every step of the way. He must have just received hand transplants.
You look at him and think,
"Oh. My. God. What a tool.
Pssh, more like a power
tool."
His hair looks like it's been dipped in Crisco, he's wearing an entire bottle of cologne, and his collar is

dodded.
And this guy? He's wearing two polos. One of them is pink, of course.
Both of his collars are raised toward his hair, which looks more like a squirrel that's been hit by a car than it does "in style."
Before this over-zealous S.O.B. gets to you, turn to him and say, "I can't believe you got my friend pregnant." He'll be too busy reminiscing about the past two months to bother asking you what your sign is.
The second method is a lot more fun.
The guy has already made his way to you and asks,
"How do you like it?"
"I like it on the rocks, and make it a double baby!"
From here on out, only speak in Dick Vitalt's voice.
By the time you start reciting the "Gettysburg Address" to him.
A third, more subtle way to get rid of the guy who is trying way too hard is to stare straight ahead.
He'll be well on his way to the next unfortunate girl. And hey, free drink!
As he talks to you, don't take your eyes off the wall in front of you.
After you don't respond to his "Are you from Tennessee, because you're the only 10 I see," and, "I may not be a Flintstone, but I'll make your bed rock," he'll be sure to utter a few choice words and leave.
Don't even think about blinking. Just stare in utter silence.
What happens if he doesn't leave?
There is no reason you should not enjoy a bar or party because some jackass can't take a hint.
You have only four years of college, a victory lap, three years at the pizza place, two more years of graduate school, and three more years of unemployment before it's time to get serious. Utilize the time while you have it.
The next time you go to the bar expecting Brad Pitt and you get Tony Danza instead, fight back.
I hope these tactics work for you.
Start rubbing your chin a little and say, "Hmm, missed a spot."
Free All for
The sheer possibility that you grow facial hair better than he does will have him leaving with his masculinity in question.
Let's say he still hasn't bolted, and he starts asking louder and louder if he can buy you a drink. A kind, "You wanna go the f*** away?" is sure to do the trick.

▼ LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Relief? or Godless communism?
Following the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, many Americans have raised concerns that the federal government has not done enough to help those affected. On the contrary, though, the federal government overstepped its bounds in this area and has done too much to help.
President Franklin Pierce said it best: "I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity.
[To approve such spending] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory
upon which the union of these states is founded."
many do not take advantage of these safety nets, even though they are still there. It has been said that communism is the abolition of God in favor of man.
I'm not against helping people. It is true that societies are judged by how they treat the least among them. That, however, should apply to societies, not governments.
There is a fine line between charity and communism, and it all has to do with who carries it out. They used to be a time when people who were down on their luck looked to their churches and families for support.
In the end, taxing people to pay for charity does not make them more charitable; it only makes them more taxed.
If relying on the government for help instead of on love and faith bears any semblance to that sentiment, then America has become the new Soviet Bloc.
But, because religious and family values are virtually non-existent in today's mainstream culture,

GUEST COMMENTARY
Oborny article born of prejudice
Racism is the assumption that people are different based on the color of their skin.
Isn't assuming that people are different based on their innate traits wrong?
In a Sept. 21 guest column, Julie Oborny argued that the latest edition of Sex on the Hill lacked diversity.
Because Oborny and I share at least one view - that discussing one's beliefs helps make the world a better place - I would like to comment on the content of her letter.
Although Obnyr failed to concretely define diversity, it appears that she felt the Sex on the Hill articles were lacking because they were racist, misogynistic, patriarchal and overrepresentative of heterosexuals.
TIM ROBBINS opinion@kansan.com
Obronny's argument is flawed, because it implies that all white, heterosexual males are the same, and that there are inherent differences between people of different sexes, races and sexual preferences.
Belonging to a particular sex, race or sexual preference does
The belief that these innate traits define and separate us is a form of prejudice that is every bit as harmful to society as the stereotypes Oborny was protesting.
not make you similar to everybody else who fits that same demographic mold.
Two people with the same combination of these traits can have vastly different worldviews and experiences.
Belonging to a particular sex, race or sexual preference does not make you similar to everybody else who fits that same demographic mold.
Believing that a person's views are defined by the traits they are born with is prejudice and will
only perpetuate inequality.
Furthermore, people of different sexes, races or sexual preferences don't necessarily have different worldviews or stances on various issues.
Because of these differences, they will have diverse beliefs on many issues, such as the sexuality presented in Sex on the Hill.
The belief that belonging to a particular demographic allows a person to see a sector of life that other demographics are blind to implies that sex, race and sexual preference are what make us different.
If you believe that there are differences stemming from our demographic data that cannot be escaped,you are an advocate of prejudice.
Prejudice, as defined by Dictionary.com, is "to cause to judge prematurely and irrationally." Judging people based on their sex, race or sexual preference is a premature and irrational judgment.
As a society, we ought to learn that culture and individual backgrounds account for the type of people we become - it isn't sex, race or sexual preference.
If we want true equality,we need to stop seeing others as the sums of their demographic data and start seeing them as individuals.
Robbins is a Lenexa senior in psychology

Love it or hate it, for the last 60 years, students at the University of Kansas have been exposed to many different thoughts, ideas and philosophies of Western Civilization.
The course that has kept many students up all night with sometimes-intense readings and writing assignments began on Sept. 14, 1945, after World War II changed the course of the western world.

arguments began on Sept. 14, 1945, after World War II changed the course of the western world. "The original intent of the program was to teach people about war as a means of trying to keep it from happening again," said David Dewar, assistant director of the humanities and western civilization program.
He said Chancellor Deane Mallot and the other founders of the western civilization program did not want to lose important ideas about civilization after two major wars devastated a single generation.
The program began as a five-year trial period before a committee decided to indefinitely continue the program in 1950.
Early students of the course did not attend a class lecture or a group discussion, but were handed only a study guide and a reading list. Students were responsible for a self-guided study program that culminated in a comprehensive exam to be completed before graduation.
Dewar said the reason for the self-guided study was that other departments at the University, including English, did not want the new program to take away from their enrollments.
In 1985, with help of the current program director, James Woolfel, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program changed to require lecture and discussion classes with a final exam as part of the new western civilization curriculum.
The Mvth
A required course with a stack of books more than a foot high does not survive 60 years without picking up a few epic legends of its own.
years without picking up a few epic legends of its own. Brad Safarik, Lawrence sophomore, is in his first semester of western civilization. He had heard from other people about the difficulty of the class. "I really didn't know what I was getting into," Safarik said. He said he heard the class "sucked" and that students "had to read a ridiculous amount."
After more than a month in the class, Safari thinks he is reading a ridiculous amount, and he is a couple of books behind.
"I just can't read an entire book in a week," he said.
But not all students think the same way.
Cameron Cooke, Overland Park senior heard all the rumors about the class, too but he said he found the class to be cas and if anything it made him a better writer Dewar thinks the idea of western civilization being such a difficult class, originated
when the program was self-guided, and there was no real place for students to get help. Because of the rumors, both Dewar and Woelfel think less students take the course early in their college career and put it off until their junior or senior years.
The two also agreed that western civilization influences all of a student's studies, helping students in not only their future studies but also in their later lives.
"If students could just get their heads around the idea that whether they like it or not, this stuff is shaping everything they do," Dewar said.
Shortcuts
Web sites like sparknotes.com created easier ways to get summaries and discussions of books read in the program. Before that students relied on little yellow and black Cliff's Notes to replace the task of reading Chaucer and Plato.
Since the program started, students have been trying to find better and faster ways to avoid reading the books.
Charles Marsh, associate professor at the School of Journalism, was in the Western Civilization program in the early 1970s. He and four other students under the guidance of Dennis Embry, then a graduate student at the University, created a radio program called Western Civ Review to discuss the class readings of the week. The panelists were made of students who Embry considered to be at the top of their west- civilization classes.
Marsh said he and the other panelists met in a corrugated iron quonset hut on the prairie and recorded their one-hour radio show.
"By this time we were all of legal drinking age, so there had been some alcohol consumed to loosen up the conversation, and we would just have discussions of what the reading was," he said. "To my memory, the only reason it lasted one semester was because students were no longer reading the books. They had discovered they could turn to Western Civ Review."
Even though Marsh was selected for the panel, he said he wished he had paid more attention in class when he was 18, because he sees the influence of the ideas taught in western civilization in his everyday life.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Marching into 'boot camp'
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Before the start of basketball season every fall, the men's basketball team endures coach Bill Self's two-week "boot camp."
The term boot camp can refer to anything from army training to Billy Blanks' Tae Bo workout, but for the Jayhawks it means early mornings, tired days and early nights.
"To sum it up, I think boot camp is about sacrifice," freshman forward Julian Wright said. "You are sacrificing your body.
ing and puffing." Wright said.
You sacrifice your social time and the things you do outside of basketball. It is really just getting your priorities straight and taking care of yourself properly and staving focused."
"There are not balls, just squeaky shoes and a lot of huff
On Monday, the first day of boot camp, the team worked on fundamental defensive drills, sophomore guard Jeremy Case said. The drills included defensive slides, stances, jumping rope and conditioning. Yesterday, Case said the team worked more on defensive techniques, such as denying the basketball, seeing the opponent and the ball, helping on defensive and jumping to the ball.
If the first two days of boot camp are any indication of what this year's preseason training is going to be like, the Kansas players expect to focus on defense and conditioning. It's just the players and coaches alone at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, learning and teaching defensive fundamentals.
The first couple of days have been slightly less intense than what the players expect for the rest of the two weeks, because
PAGE 1B
there is some down time when the coaches are explaining drills and procedures.
Case, who has been to two of coach Self's boot camps in the past, said the coaches have players do a variety of different drills in practice, but the overall schedule was the same.
"This is the first few days, so there was a lot of demonstrating," Wright said. "So I feel like the second week there will be less demonstrating, and they will expect us to know if they say 'defensive slide,' we will have to just do it."

Kansas tries to keep it steady for Texas Tech
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
When the Kansas volleyball team squares off with Texas Tech at 7 tonight in Lubbock, Texas, it will try to avoid the trap of playing down to a lesser opponent's level. It's a trap that has nearly caught the team on multiple occasions this season.
Kansas' first close call came in a home match against Oklahoma earlier this month. The Jayhawks (11-2 overall, 3-1 Big 12) fell behind 2-1 before charging back to win in five games.
The Jayhawks looked sluggish again Saturday despite sweeping
Baylor. The Bears pushed two of the games past 30 points.
"As much as you try to tell your team, as much as you plead with your team, about how every Big 12 opponent is going to be extremely worthy of our best effort, you've got to experience something like that to really truly believe it," he said after the Oklahoma match. "In this league, if you don't close out games, you will be in trouble."
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks needed to play at the same level every match, no matter who was on the other side of the net.
Another early problem has been traveling. Kansas is 3-2 away from home after its loss
last week at Texas. The players recognize the importance of playing well in tough environments, and they want to start against Texas Tech.
Junior outside hitter Philister Sang, originally from Kenya, leads the team with 4.88 kills per game. Texas Tech was picked to finish tenth in the Big 12 coaches' preseason poll.
Texas Tech is led by Nancy Todd, who is in her third year as coach. The Red Raiders added six newcomers to their roster this season, including three international players.
Texas Tech (7-5, 1-2 Big 12) is coming off of a 3-0 defeat of Oklahoma two weeks ago. The team's match scheduled for Saturday against Texas A&M was postponed because of Hurricane Rita.
"We need to win on the road," freshman middle blocker Savannah Noyes said. "We need to come out and not take them lightly."
Texas Tech leads the all-time series between the two teams, 12-7. Kansas has won the last four matches though, while dropping just one game in that span.
"I think we need to stay focused for the whole game," junior outside hitter Jana Correa said. "It's like what coach talks about; we lose our concentration in the middle of the game. If we can keep it, we will be good."

Jayhawks prepare for Raiders' offense
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
The Kansas secondary will be tested early and often Saturday against a Texas Tech passing attack that has averaged 488 yards and scored 199 points in its first three games.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said the defense would not approach the game any differently, despite the Red Raiders' high-powered offense.
"We are going to play defense the way that we play defense all the time," Mangino said. "We are not ma king any special preparations for this offense. They execute well so you have to play good, sound, assignment and fundamental football, and that is what we plan to do."
Texas Tech is coming off a 63-7 victory against Indiana State last week. The Red Raiders passed for 292 yards and four touchdowns on the night.
"As you know, offensively they can score a lot of points; they rack up a lot of yardage," Mangino said. "They have a system that their kids are real comfortable in, and they execute it very well."
After having no interceptions in the first two games of the season, the Kansas secondary came alive against Louisiana Tech, picking off four passes.
The KU defense will look at the defensive line rather than the secondary to stop the Texas Tech offense.
"They get rid of the ball real quick; we just have to interrupt his comfort level back there and just have to put as
much pressure on him as we can," senior linebacker Brandon Perkins said.
Perkins set a school record against Louisiana Tech with five sacks. The Jayhawks hope to get as much pressure on Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges on Saturday.
"That is what we have been preaching this whole season, offseason and everything," senior defensive end Charlton Keith said, regarding pressure on opposing quarterbacks. "Just for our defensive line to come through, step up."
Hodges has passed for 1,117 yards and 12 touchdowns and just one interception in the first three games.
"I don't think their offense is complicated. I think it is very efficiently operated," Mangino said. "It is not something where they take a lot of chances with the ball. They execute, their players execute, and that is really the key."
Texas Tech's rushing attack is led by Taurean Henderson. Henderson has 264 yards rushing this season. He scored the game-winning touchdown last season against Kansas with a 70-yard run in the fourth quarter.
The Kansas secondary will have to be prepared to cover many receivers. Texas Tech could feature four or five wide receivers on any given play. The offense has incorporated passes to 16 different receivers this season.
"As a DB, preparing for this game, we know we are going to have to stay in coverage so that the quarterback doesn't have anyone to throw to."

Football fans, be ready when easy competition gets tougher
Heading into the first weekend of Big 12 Conference play, their hopes inflated by an easy non-conference schedule, fans' expectations for the lavhawks are sky high.
Kansas boasts a suffocating defense. an improved kicking game and an offense that explores ways to utilize surprise playmakers. That said, it would still be shocking to see the team make a bowl appearance. There is too much talent on the schedule to make reservations for a warmer locale during winter break.
To secure a postseason berth, the Jayhawks will need

at least six victories. Through a combination of smart scheduling and adequate performance, they are already halfway there, with victories against Florida Atlantic, Appalachian State and Louisiana Tech. But Kansas has yet to face teams that are traditional powerhouses such as Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma. Where are the other victories
Iowa State, defending Big 12 North Conference cochampion, must be considered the favorite to win the division. Iowa State boasts the highest-profile non-conference victory of any division team, beating Iowa 23-3 earlier this season.
After Iowa State, things get a little murky. Nebraska has looked lost at times, but managed a 3-0 start highlighted by victories against Wake Forest and Pittsburgh. Colorado, the other Big 12 North co-champion, looked downright awful against powerhouse Miami.
Kansas State and Missouri are both off to winning starts, but Kansas State squeaked by Florida International and Marshall, and Missouri fell to New Mexico.
Perhaps the answer to that question lies in another: Has Kansas football caught up enough on the talent scale
Offensively, Kansas is not capable of matching point for point in a high scoring game. To put it nicely, the offense is built for playing with a lead.
I'm rooting for the Jayhawk to make their way to a Hawk game this winter, but
to compete nationally? Defensively, the Jaynawks have looked surprisingly vulnerable against the pass, which does not bode well for this weekend's game at explosive Texas Tech.
On both sides of the ball, Kansas football headlines are much more likely to include "shootout" than "shootout."
I'm not buying the early hype. If they can manage to keep the Red Raiders on this side of the Mississippi River this weekend and pull out a victory, it will be an encouraging sign.
If they can follow that up with a victory at Kansas State, I'll humbly request whatever space is left on the Jayhawk football bandwagon.
If not, the great thing about Kansas is that basketball starts before football gets too depressing.

Women's club wins two of three in season-opening tournament play
The Kansas women's lacrosse club team started its season with a pair of victories at Oklahoma State University on Saturday.
Kansas lost its first game 7-8 to Dallas Threat, a post-college club team, but nearly forced overtime after trailing 8-4. Kansas sophomore Lisa Allen scored four goals, junior Sarah Fiske added two and freshman Crystal Thomas had one.
In the team's second game, Kansas defeated Nebraska 13-6.The victory avenged a loss from last season, in which Nebraska knocked Kansas out of contention for post-season play.
Kansas led 9-3 at the half and never looked back. Allen once again scored four goals, and Fisk had three. Freshmen Kristen Sheaen and Brittany Marholl scored a goal apiece, and so did sophomores Laura Swick, Emily Ratzlaw and Holly Currie.
Kansas closed out the weekend with a winning record by knocking off Oklahoma State 11-9.
Kansas will next be in action at the University of Minnesota for a tournament on Oct. 8 and 9.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Thanks to Champ Bailey and Monday night microphones, the Kansas City Chiefs should be well motivated for their next match with the Denver Broncos.
Tell us your news. Contact Kells Robinett or Eric Sorrentino at 864-4858 or sports@kansan.com
First the Chiefs (2-1) got embarrassed 30-10 Monday night at INVESCO Field, one of their worst losses ever in a long and often-bitter AFC West rivalry.
The Chiefs beat Denver last year in Kansas City 45-17, dominating the Broncos almost as thoroughly as they were dominated on Monday night. They will host the Broncos again in Arrowhead Stadium this Dec. 4.
Then they found out that while the rout was taking place, the Broncos' star defensive back accused them on national television of not even playing hard
Speaking to teammates on the Denver bench after the Broncos had taken control of the game in the first half, Bailey was heard to say, "They're playing a little different. They're not playing as hard. I ain't going to relax, though."
Kansas City Chiefs Tony Richardson (49) is tripped up by Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, right, after a 3-yard pass completion during the second quarter in Denver, on Monday night. Bailey was injured on the play.
"The way they played up there in Kansas City, it ain't the same, though," said Bailey, who was miked for Monday Night Football.
"I know this — none of our players said Champ Bailey didn't play hard when we beat them by three touchdowns last year out here," Coach Dick Vermell said yesterday. "Eddie Kennison (Chiefs receiver) didn't say that Champ Bailey was not playing hard."
The Chiefs' players had the day off and will get back to work today for Sun-

Vermell tried to downplay Bailey's remarks, but was clearly irritated.
"That's why I don't allow players to be miked. I don't know what (Bailey)
An experienced broadcaster himself, Vermell said he had always been against miking players.
"I just think the broadcast ought to be done by the guys in the booth," he said. "That's what they're professionally trained to do. I just won't put one of my players in that position."

KU alumnus Cromwell joins Ring of Honor at stadium
in the fourth round of compe-
Former Kansas football player Nolan Cromwell will be inducted into the Ring of Honor at Memorial Stadium, during the halftime ceremony of the home game against Missouri on Oct. 29, the KU Athletics Department announced yesterday.
Cromwell, a Ransom native, played safety and quarterback for the Jayhawks from 1973 to 1976. In 1975, he was an Associated Press All-American honorable mention and Big Eight Player of the Year. He rushed for 1,124 yards that year and set an NCAA record for the third-highest rushing total by a quarterback.
"Nolan Cromwell was a terrific football player," said Lew Perkins, Kansas athletics director. "More than that, he is a tremendous representative of this University, the athletics program in general and the football program in particular."
Cromwell played for the Los Angeles Rams for 11 seasons and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times. Since 1999, he has served as the wide receivers coach for the Seattle Seahawks.

Camp
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
On Monday and Friday, the players lift weights at 7:30 a.m. and then boot camp starts an hour later. On Tuesday and Thursday, boot camp starts at 6:30 a.m. Then they go about their days as usual, attending classes and visiting with tutors before an afternoon weight-lifting session. There isn't much time after weights for the players to relax because pick-up games start around 5 p.m. There are no weights on Wednesday, but boot camp starts at 8:30 a.m.
With practice and weights scheduled early in the morning, alarms at the Jayhawker Towers start going off about 5:45 or 6 a.m., Wright said. The players have to grab breakfast, make the short walk to the locker room and prepare for practice, which includes 15 minutes with strength and conditioning coach Andrea Hudy and — most important among those duties — using the bathroom.
"I just found out there is no breaks so you can't be like, 'Coach, I gotta go,'" Wright
said. "And it's early in the morning, so make sure that you take care of business before you go on the court."
And they better not be late.
"If anyone is late to anything, the whole team has to run." Case said.
So what is the early morning walk like from where the players live to the locker room?
"We don't really talk to each other much," Case said. "You have to understand, that is not really the morning, it is still dark outside. It is practically the middle of the night."
"The other night I went to bed around 10 but I couldn't fall asleep because I was so tired," Case said. "By the time I fell asleep, it was time to get up again. You feel like you got one hour of sleep because you sleep so hard.
"It's not a lot of fun. But it makes you tougher and it definitely makes you better."
Case said once the team starts to get active, they loosen up a bit, but those first few minutes out of bed are the hardest part of boot camp.

Sooners say 'bye' to bye week
FOOTBALL
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
It would be easy to overlook any opponent with the team's biggest rival and a national television audience drawing so near. But somehow coach Bob Stoops and his staff were able to keep the Sooners on focus each of the past five years, winning all five of the team's Big 12 openers heading into the big game against Texas.
NORMAN, Okla. — With the Red River Rivalry looming only a week away, Oklahoma's Big 12 opener seemed like the perfect trap game.
After a 1-2 start, Oklahoma's concerns entering Big 12 play are much different this season. Heading into Saturday's game against Kansas State, the Sooners can't even think about the upcoming showdown with No. 2 Longhorns.
"Every game, every snap, every quarter, every halftime, every
third quarter, every fourth quarter is big for us right now." said offensive coordinator Chuck Long.
Off to the worst start in Stoops' seven years at Oklahoma, the Sooners had to take a new approach to their bye week. Instead of regrouping and recovering, the Sooners put in as much work as they could.
Oklahoma practiced Monday through Saturday — a bye-week first under Stoops — to get in extra snaps.
"It was anything but an easier week," Stoops said. "It's probably the hardest week we've had in a long time."
"I emphasized to them that our approach as coaches — not just mine — has nothing to do with at all punishing, like 'Hey, we lost and now we're going to beat you into the ground,' Stoops said. "It was all about trying to get better."
The Sooners seem to be sorting out some of the issues. After
not throwing a pass in the second half against Tulsa in Week 2, quarterback Rhett Bomar was 20-for-29 for 241 yards against UCLA.
"We have too many negative plays," Stoops said. "We have to eliminate where we're beating ourselves in some of those areas."
On the offensive line, Adrian Peterson tied a career-low with 58 rushing yards in a 41-24 loss to UCLA.
For Stoops, the main focus on offense is stopping mistakes such as fumbled snaps and missed blocking assignments which result in lost vardage.
On defense, linebacker Clint Ingram, who had interceptions in Oklahoma's first two games, is expected back after missing the UCLA game with an injury. Stoops plans to start either Eric Bassey or Marcus Walker in place of Chijioke Onyenegecha, who started each of the Sooners'
first three games.
"We're trying to find consistency there this week — who's going to be the most consistent being in the right places and making the most plays," Stoops said.
With all the focus on improvements, the Big 12 opener is much more of a milestone for Oklahoma this season than a game that might be overlooked on the path to Texas. It also provides a clean slate that could still earn the Sooners a trip to a BCS bowl game, if they're somehow able to recover and win the Big 12 title.
Offense
"I'm not big on trying to hide from the past and start again, but in the end the Big 12 and what we do in the Big 12 Conference is what truly does matter," Stoops said. "We realize this is the most important part of the season, and we've made improvement over the last four weeks.

Braves clinch 14th straight division championship
Mangino talked more about the $10 million donation that was made Monday for the football practice facility. He said the logistical questions of where and when the facility would be built or what the appearance of the structure would look like had not been discussed. Mangino said he thought the donation would help others make donations to the facility.

BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves tried to hold off the celebration. It didn't work.
The Braves wrapped up their 14th straight division championship yesterday night while playing the Colorado Rockies, the NL East title assured midway through the game when the second-place Phillies lost to the New York Mets.
Clinching in style, Marcus Giles hit a pair of homers, Adam LaRoche also homered and the Braves routed the Rockies 12-3.
Still, the way it worked out was a bit strange.
The Braves had just finished off a four-run fifth inning. giv
ing them a 7-1 lead, when Philadelphia's Bobby Abrust struck out to complete a 3-2 loss to the Mets.
A smattering of fans apparently learned of the Phillies' loss via cell phone or other means, clapping as soon as Abreu struck out. "Let's go Mets!" one man yelled. A tomahawk-chopping woman held up a handmade "2005" sign above the left-field seats, right next to the official pennants detailing each of the Braves' playoff seasons.
But most of the crowd was apparently in the dark. The out-of-town scoreboard merely showed the Mets leading 3-2 in the eighth. Even after the Rockies were retired in the top of the sixth, there was no mention of
the division title.
Finally, as Chipper Jones stepped into the box, the public address announcer revealed the news.
In the bottom half, Giles hit his second homer, a two-run shot, to give the Braves a 9-3 lead.
The celebration was on. The crowd of 25,306 gave the Braves a standing ovation, and several fans broke out signs marking the occasion. "In case you didn't know .14 in a row," one said. Two shirtless men had painted a "1" and a "4" on their chests.
Mets 3. Phillies 2.
Atlanta became the second team to clinch a title, following the NL Central champion St. Louis Cardinals.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★ You might not understand what someone is requesting. On the other
hand, this person might not have a clear concept. Work with others, and in the spirit of cooperation, figure out what is what. Tonight: Be a couch potato.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
******* You have a natural gift for finding solutions. You need to reel in this ability today as you deal with sometimes chaotic messages or plans.
Imagine what it's like to be someone else. Put yourself in her or his shoes.
Tonight: Play cards with friends.
★★★ Use a gentle touch with your finances, as there is a tendency to have money slip through your fingers. Don't get uptight; take charge of your life and security. Use care with a new purchase for the home or an investment. Tonight: Lounge around with a pal.
LEO (Julv 23-Auu. 22)
***** Great today with a smile,
as the Moon in your sign helps you do
what you want. Your normal agenda

Tonight: What you want.

★★ It appears that mix-ups are normal right now, especially involving your daily life and quite possibly your finances. You cannot be clear enough. Confirm meetings. Verify conversations with a memo. Tonight: Do for yourself.
LIBRA (Sent. 23-Oct. 22)
***** You might not know which way to turn, as the pace is so hectic. Somehow you seem destined to disappoint someone. Therefore, make choices that please you. At least one person will be happy. Tonight: Find your friends.
★★★ You are on top of your game, though you might be amazed by what is happening on the home front. Listen to your inner voice. Many will choose to be out late or visit with an older friend or relative. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
**Listen to feedback from others. You might not be too sure of yourself about an investment or a money matter. The more feedback you get, the stronger your decisions will be. Take your time. Tonight: Let someone talk away.**
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
★★★ Confusion could be your middle name today. In fact, you are not hearing anything you don't want to hear. You also might be an enigma to others. Discussions help clear the air. Remember that you don't think like others. Tonight: Let others dominate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ All work and no play isn't healthy for the Fish. If you find that your mind is drifting, know that you probably need to schedule a personal day. Your imagination leads you down some interesting paths. Tonight: Get into something you enjoy.

Special teams tackles records
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORT WRITEER
One school record has already fallen, and several personal bests have been set in a so-far successful season for the special teams unit.
Sophomore place kicker Scott. Webb has handled the field goals, point after attempts and kick-offs.
In the first three games, Webb converted all five field goal attempts, including a career-long 47 yard field goal against Louisiana Tech.

seven times he kicked off. On the other three, Louisiana Tech did not advance the ball past its own 20.
Kansas' kick-off coverage has aided Webb. Kansas is holding opponents to little more than 13 yards per return in the first three games.
Junior cornerback Charles Gordon runs past Louisiana Tech safety Alton Bryant during a punt return Saturday, Sept. 17 at Memorial Stadium. Gordon and the special teams unit will look to make an impact during the game against Texas Tech Saturday at 6 p.m. in Lubbock, Texas.
"It helps us offensively if we know that we are at least going to get three points if we are in their territory," Luke said. "We know we are in Scott Webb range."
Webb has misfired once this season, missing an extra point in the team's second game of the season against Appalachian State.

Tucker's season started with a career-long, 58-yard punt in the first game of the season, against Florida Atlantic.
"With Kyle Tucker punting, we know he can boom the ball," junior safety Jerome Kemp said. "He can get the other team pinned down deep in their own territory, and that gives the defense momentum."
The punt coverage has also been impressive. Teams are averaging 1.4 yards per punt return. Kemp played considerable snaps on special teams last year and remains on the punt coverage team this season. He said the team took a lot of pride in

K-State running back charged with battery
MANHATTAN — Kansas State running back Thomas Clayton was charged yesteday with misdemeanor battery, stemming from a complaint that he almost hit a university parking services official with
his car earlier this month.
"I wasn't aware of that," Clayton said, when informed that Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson filed the charges that morning. "It'll have to be taken care of obviously."
Parking services officials
Clayton, a junior from Alexandra, Va., was arrested Sept 16 on a complaint of aggravated battery.

He has not played since, but coach Bill Snyder said Monday that Clayton will play Saturday in the Wildcats' Big 12 opener at Oklahoma.

JOPLIN, Mo. — Missouri Southern football coach John Ware died yesterday of an apparent heart attack. He was 46.
Jasper County coroner Jerry Neil told The Joplin Globe the apparent cause of death was heart failure, though an autopsy was scheduled for today.
Ware was in his second year as the Lions' coach, having
joined the university after 19 years at Truman State University in Kirksville. He was head coach there for nine seasons.
A star offensive lineman at Drake, he signed with the San Francisco 49ers after graduation. Ware was also a five-time U.S. Senior National Powerlifting champion, Missouri Southern said.

Retro pastimes alleviate boredom

As a child, Bryson Rexwinkle always had to visit his neighbors to play Nintendo.

I love chalking for clubs because it reminds me of when I was little."
Hutchinson sophomore
For Rexwinkle, Iola senior, the land of Nintendo is closer now. He ran across a used Nintendo at a garage sale last year and had no problems forking over $10 for his own system.

Kyle Billings, owner of Fun and Games, 830 Massachusetts St., said lots of college students came to the store in search of costumes, but many left with a little reminder of childhood as well.
Great deals aren't the only reason college students are reaching out to their childhood favorites to entertain themselves. Lost memories, boredom and heavy workloads all encourage University of Kansas students to break into the toy box to have fun. Jumping into play allows them to escape the stress of college.
"It was an awesome deal," he said.
He said college students liked

to play what they did as children especially when they discovered that their friends played similar games.
College students often come looking for replacement games because they have moved. Sometimes entire houses or apartments will contribute to buy familiar games, he said.
"Even if they're childish,
they'll get them," he said.
Tiffany Goebel, St. Joseph, Minn., senior, said she and her roommate avoided boredom with her Twirl-A-Paint, a device that allows users to create a painting on a spinning circle without ever seeing the work in progress.
Her roommate discovered it in a closet during a trip to Goebel's home, and the two decided
to bring it back to Lawrence.
"I got it when I was, like, 4," Goebel said. "Now we play with it all the time."
The pair also owns a multitude of board games, including Twister, Scrabble and Dream Phone.
"It's a good break from serious stuff," she said.
"I love chalking for clubs because it reminds me of when I was little," said Rachel Barnes, Hutchinson sophomore.
Even campus essentials such as chalking can invoke childhood memories.
As winter approaches, Barnes can suit up for another favorite past time: sledding. She said she once rode the bus to campus with her pink sled to ride down the hill behind JRP Hall. She said the looks were worth it.
"It's a lot of fun," she said. "I still enjoy it."
Elizabeth Cusimano, Dallas junior, said coloring was one of her favorite ways to procrastinate. The selection of Disney coloring books in her apartment usually entices her guests to do the same. They come in and see the books and want to color, she said.
In addition to coloring, Cusimano said she randomly swung in a park with her roommate. She has even gone to McDonald's just to get the Happy Meal toy.
"If I'm in a bad mood, I'll do it," she said. "It puts me in a really good mood."
She said acting like a kid seemed to make the chaotic college experience a little easier.
"It makes your life not as serious as we make it now." Cusimano said. "It puts a hold on everything."
The breather only lasts until students climb out of the toy box and re-inhale the pressures of going to college.

Games evolve to meet players' needs

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Board game companies are finding ways to appeal to people looking for intellectual depth or simply action-packed entertainment, from strategic war games to DVD interactive games.
Gwen Billings, co-owner at Fun and Games, 816 Massachusetts st., said older games, such as RISK had held steady, but the strategic war games had evolved into more complex and time consuming endeavors.
C
Chris Baker, Lawrence resident, and his friend Brian Schwarzer, Lawrence freshman, set aside time every Friday night to strategize and conquer while playing war games with a group of friends.
They have to find enough space to set up their board games, such as Civilization, which easily fills up a living room floor.
Candice Rukes/KANSAN
"We used to spread out on a pool table, but we are playing on the floor now." Baker said.
Axis and Allies was originally designed in the 1970s and the newest version is two years old.
These older games can be completed in two to four hours while Baker and his friends have spent more than nine hours trying to finish Civilization.
"I like Civilization because it is a cross between Monopoly and RISK," Schwarzer said. "It is multi-faceted. You can do politics, practice diplomacy and manage your economics."
Michael Breen, owner of Hometown Games, 711 W. 23rd St., said that games had evolved to meet the needs of the people.
"The game industry considers life's distractions and tailors a game to fit people's schedules," he said. "Now, a complex game like Axis and Allies can be completed in a night and it is still a challenge whereas in the past you had to schedule your time around the game."

Wine? Wine not?
Four students were given a blind taste test of four wines affordable to the average college student. The wines ranged from $3 to $11 wine.
The testers were Beau Winfrey, Denver sophomore; Kristin Riedlinger, Dodge City senior; Zach Stewart, Dallas, Texas, graduate student and Takafumi Komatsubara, Hayama, Japan, graduate student.
Boone's Farm
Sangria (Red) $2.95
Winfrey: Weak. I would say it's a good social wine because it's so light. I'm surprised it's even called wine. There's no bite to it.
BONES FARM

Riedlinger: I like it. It would be a good summer wine. It's like kool-aid.
Komatsubara: It's a good introductory wine because of how weak it is. It's something you would buy when you were going to have
Stewart: It's like sparkling... grape juice or something. It's all right. I wouldn't pay a lot for it, but it's OK. It's definitely something you would drink with a big group of people.

Mark Vierthater/KANSAN
Stewart: Yeah, it's not completely awful. But then again, this isn't really wine.
Riedlinger: It's not that bad.
Komatsubara: It's like someone took regular wine and diluted it with water. I used to buy cheap wine and then mix it with Sprite to make it more palatable. That's what this tastes like.
1976
Riedlinger: I'm reminded of Natty Light.
Winfrey: This is one of those drinks, it's a great "New Years Eve Party" thing for poor college students. You'd pick this up for a house party.

Komatsubara: This is the first time I've had a combination, and I have to say I like it.

College students need to eat, so food is a great thing to have with you on your road trip.
Some ideas for road trip snacks are beef jerky, candy and chips, but any snacks that are packaged, easy to store and not too messy will work.
Also, you should plan to eat fast food because it is
quick and convenient. What you eat on the road is not always the healthiest, but you are on vacation, after all!

"It's surprising, but hilarious, how many 6th — and 7th — grade Brain Quest answers that college students can miss!" Brandon Shirley, Lawrence resident said.
Most students have either been on a road trip before or plan to take one in the near future.
These tips should come in handy to almost all of you on your next road tip.
Try to estimate how much money everyone will need to pitch in on gas before you leave. Put it in a bag and store it somewhere like the glove compartment.
That way, no matter how much money you spend on the trip,you are guaranteed to get back home.
Take a lot of pictures to capture memories.

Destinations known: Take a drive this time for fall break
With fall break just a few weeks away, Tamera Parman plans to hit the road.
Parman, Derby senior, said she often spent long weekends taking road trips.
"Being with friends and just hanging out in the car is part of the fun, but car games, scenic views and iPods always add to it," Parman said. "And you get to see all the quirky stuff that you don't get to see when you're flying somewhere."
Parman plans to drive to the Black Hills — in South Dakota — for this year's break.
Gas prices may be high, but October is a great month to travel, said Shanan Kingsbury, a Lawrence-based travel consultant.
"It's a perfect time in the Midwest to travel," Kingsbury said. "It's not too terribly cold out there yet."
Kingsbury said many fall travelers sought destinations with outdoor recreational opportunities and scenic foliage.
National parks are popular fall destinations because accessibility is restricted in the winter, Kingsbury said.
From Lawrence, an ambitious traveler could reach the Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains or other Big 12 college towns within half of a day.
Karlsson Banks, Topeka senior said deciding on the best road trip destination required some thought.
"It definitely has to have something that everyone wants to do," Banks said. "You just need to sit down and discuss and compromise."
Banks said he had taken road trips to Nashville, Tenn., Austin, Texas, and Fargo, N.D.
If the car and pocketbook can handle it, consider these destinations:
Denver, Colo.
If the daily hike up and down M. Great doesn't satisfy your need to climb, consider travelling west to Denver. "
Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, the Mile High City has beautiful surroundings, bountiful sunshine and a giant selection of brew.
Denver's historic Lower Downtown (LoDo) district offers a multitude of outdoor cafes, art galleries and brew pubs. The light rail system provides transportation around the downtown area and to the 16th Street Mall, a pedestrian-only strip mall lined with shops and restaurants.
Just 20 minutes west of Denver is the Coors Brewery, where visitors can learn about the beer-making process and enjoy a complimentary beverage afterward.
Nature buffs can visit nearby Red Rocks Park, home to hiking trails that wind through huge sandstone rock formations.
★ Distance: 567 miles
Austin, Texas
For those wanting to get away but still be surrounded by students, try Austin, Texas.
More than 50,000 students attend Austin's University of Texas, making it one of the largest universities in the country.
Austin's famous live music scene ensures you will find something every night. Most of the entertainment is centered on Sixth Street.
Anyone without a phobia of bats may enjoy the show under the Congress Avenue Bridge just before sunset. People gather nightly to watch thousands of Mexican free-tailed bats descend from under the bridge.
The famous district offers a diverse array of music venues, restaurants and shops.
The lakes, wilderness preserves and limestone hills in the surrounding hill country provide many other recreational opportunities.
★ Distance: 702 miles
Minneapolis-St. Paul
Seven-and-a-half hours north in the land of lakes and loons is Minneapolis-St. Paul, boasting a chain of urban lakes surrounded by walking and biking trails.
Nearby skyscrapers and shopping fill the busy downtown area and clubs and theatres line the bright Hennepin Avenue. A few miles south, the trendy Uptown district caters to a hip, younger crowd.
St. Paul features the state capital and a historic cathedral, Ethnic restaurants abound throughout the city and local students frequent the food and drink establishments on Grand Avenue.
The country's largest shopping mall lies in the nearby suburb of Bloomington. The Mall of America includes an indoor amusement park, aquarium and more than 520 stores. Across the street is the Swedish home furnishings superstore Ikea, offering stylish items at student-friendly prices.
★ Distance: 476 miles
South Dakota
There's no big city, but southwestern South Dakota is full of places to visit.
Badlands National Park has thousands of acres of rock formations and prairie mammals. Along the way is Wall Drug, a knick-knack shop that still advertises free ice water for visitors.
The Black Hills, just an hour farther west, encompasses several state parks full of granite cliffs and pine forests.
The area is full of history, including attractions like Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial.
Scenic routes and overlooks abound, but don't expect many options for restaurants and nightlife. The best bet is Rapid City, population 59,607, which serves as gateway to the parks.

Kansas City holds many opportunities for adventure
Fall Break is just around the corner. This means that students should start checking out where they want to spend this four-day weekend.
Though definitely a well-deserved break, Fall Break's lack of length prohibits students from traveling far from Lawrence.
Students can hop in their cars and head east for about an hour on I-70 or K-10 and have a fun weekend close to home, in Kansas City, Kan., or Kansas City. Mo.
A weekend in Kansas City can either be a relaxing get away or a fast-paced weekend filled with thrills and crazy adventures.
No matter what type of fall break someone prefers, Kansas City can offer it.
"It's a quieter scene than most hot spots other people will go," Chrisy Whetter, Overland Park sophomore, said. "Kansas City would be more relaxing, which is what most people could use by the time fall break hits. Plus, there could be some fun parties!"
Here are some fun places in Kansas City, some well-known, others not, that could make Fall Break more exciting than spending time relaxing in Lawrence.
Ye Olde Renaissance Festival
Travel East on 1-70 to Bonner Springs and take a step back in time to a 16 Century village. Enjoy spending a day living like Kings and Queens of olden days and make sure to eat an oversized turkey leg.
Ticket prices are $14.50 for
adults in advance and $15.95 at the gate. The Renaissance Festival is open weekends through Oct. 16.
Spooky City
Under the 12th Street bridge lie some of the spookiest nationally known haunted houses. Two of the haunted houses are The Edge of Hell and The Beast.
The Edge of Hell has been scaring visitors for more than 30 years and The Beast is America's largest haunted house. Another is The Catacombs. Prices of the haunted houses range from $20 for one to $36 for combo tickets.
The Edge of Hell's Web site is edgeofhell.com, and The Beast's is kcbeast.com.
HalloWeekende
Going to Worlds of Fun during the summer is one highlight of Kansas City, but going during October?
From Sept. 24 to Oct. 30th Worlds of Fun is changing things up to bring a spooky amusement park to the people of Kansas City.
Visit Trick-or-Treat village or Camp Spooky. Also enjoy the park's thrilling roller coasters like The Mamba or The Timber Wolf before they close for the season.
Movies to the Extreme
Tired of watching movies in normal, boring movie theaters? Then head to Union Station in Kansas City and watch a movie in either 2D or 3D.
Until Feb. 3, 2006 "Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey" and until April 30, 2006 you can check out "Wild Safari in 3D: A South African Adventure."
Clue Train
Remember playing the board game Clue as a child? Well, now a theater in Kansas City near Crown Center brings Clue-like performances to life.
The shows, performed by professional actors, are presented as mystery games in which the audience acts like detectives.
All the shows have a train setting with Kansas City history as the setting.
From Sept. 22 to Nov. 19 the show "Who's in First?" will bring murder and mystery to the stages of Kansas City. For more information call (816) 813-9654.
For a little lighter entertainment the 80-member Kansas City Symphony is music to ticket holders' ears. The weekend of fall break, the symphony is presenting Mozart by McGegan. Nicholas McGegan is the conductor. For ticket information call (816) 471-0400.
Symphonic Harmony
Near Downtown, this museum offers a glimpse at the days when Kansas City was the world's leading manufacturer of coats and suits.
Garment District Museum
Production started in 1898 and peaked in the 1960s. This museum offers a glimpse into a side of Kansas City history that many don't know about. For more information call (913) 814-0334.
Home for a President
Visit the Independence, Mo., home of former president Harry S. Truman. He lived in his Victorian mansion from 1919 until his death in 1972. For more information call (816) 254-9929.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk
One of the most important reasons to take a trip down I-70 during fall break is the University of Oklahoma vs. the University of Kansas football game at Arrowhead Stadium. Spend Saturday, Oct. 15 cheering on the lavhawks.
For more information call (816) 920-9300.

The porn will get old. You may not believe me now; It may take many long months or years of slouching in front of your computer at all hours of the day and night, squinting your eyes against the bright screen as you intently watch the plot of Babes in Porland unfold before you realize that it has been far too long since you've seen the light of day.
But that day will come. And when it does, you'll need some new ideas about how to spend your time. For most college students, money is a precious commodity and is not always easy to come by. But not to worry; Lawrence has so much to offer an ambitious college student like
yourself.
The Spencer Museum of Art has exhibits throughout the year, as well. Although donations are welcome, the exhibits are generally all free.
If you want to start small, you can explore what the University of Kansas itself has to offer. For example, there is always something going on with Student Union Activities. Whether it's a free concert or a free movie on the hill complete with popcorn and Coke, it's sure to be more exciting than three weeks straight of World of Warcraft.
James Arruda, Pittsburgh junior, said, "They showed a lot of Asian movies, and they kicked ass."
Arruda said he had been to only one exhibition but would go more often if he had more free time.
Visiting sites on campus is
great, but there are bigger things out there. Off campus there is an entire city waiting to be explored.
Massachusetts Street is one of Lawrence's hot spots, mostly because there's something there for everyone; Yes, even you. And you don't have to go to a bar or a club to have a good time. Just walking the street is an adventure in itself and a little bit of self-control in the face of window-shopping can make it a free one.
The street musicians, for instance, offer a great alternative to traditional concerts. Don't get me wrong: I love a good punk concert at the Granada just as much as the next music aficionado, but there's something different about the informality that street musicians have to offer

Swanky parties not so tough
LUKE MORRIIS
editor@kanean.com
KANEAN CORRESPONDENT
This weekend is another opportunity to party and if the large crowds, congested hallways and keg parties don't seem appealing it may be time for a different approach to drinking a wine party.
Typically, wine parties are associated with those who are monetarily stable, unlike most college students. Wine parties can fit perfectly into a college budget, though. The tricks are teamwork, shopping around and resourcefulness.
Dan Blomgren, owner of the two Cork & Barrel stores in Lawrence, said wines started at about $6, and quite a few decent wines were available for a little more than that.

"If you're willing to spend about $10 per bottle, your options are endless." Blomgren said.
He also said that sharing the cost between all partners kept everyone's wallet happy.
"Typically, to help spread the cost out, everybody brings a bottle of wine," he said.
Each bottle of wine will fill about six glasses, Blomgren said. He also estimated that each person at the party drinks about three glasses of wine, about a half of a bottle per person.
President of the KU Culinary Club, Donald Gay, Omaha, Neb. senior said, "For all of those students that head straight to the keg on the weekends, a wine party is a nice change of pace. You're in a relaxed setting with friends instead of random people waiting in line with you at the keg."
Wine is not the only refreshment for guests to consume at a party. Both Gay and Blomgren agree that food is necessary.
"The food is not only meant for snacks, it's also a palette cleanser between wines," Gay said. "Sometimes, the flavors of the wines are enhanced, brought out and accented when certain foods are paired with them."
Gay recommended snacks such as cheese, chocolate, strawberries and olives. He said that it was important to avoid dry foods such as crackers.
Aside from the wine and food, utensils are very important when
organizing a wine party.
"The shapes of some wine glasses are specifically designed to enhance the wine they are meant for," Gay said. "Shape can affect how strong an aroma the wine gives, as well as how you actually sip the wine."
Dining trays, napkins, and plates are handy items as well.
Most wine party utensils can be found at kitchen stores, and wine glasses can be found at party stores.
With everything ready to serve, all that's missing is a place to have the party. Not just any abode will do. Everyone needs his or her personal space bubble.
Invite close friends over with instructions to bring their favorite wine, but check their snobby attitudes at the door.
"If you have 10 guests, then you need enough room for 10 people to feel comfortable," Blomgren said.
It's about creating an atmosphere that allows you to really savor the wine," Gay said. "Keep things informal. No fancy dress or sophisticated attitudes are needed, unless you want to do that for fun."
"It's not supposed to be about acting sophisticated or acting fancy;
While setup may not be a challenge, hosting such an event can have other stressful situations. Blomgren said that sometimes hosts think they need to know all about the wines at the party. He said he thought this was a misconception.
"If I'm going to host a beer party, I don't need to know where the hops came from," he said.
For information on drinks, Blomgren said Web sites like erobertparker.com provided profiles for most wines.
Gay had one extra piece of advice for would-be wine connoisseurs: "Don't forget a cork-screw. It happens a lot, and it's not good."

WEDNESDAY,SEPTEMB Dining out a fun,easy way to eat

Not everyone in college, lives on Ramen noodles.
CollegeRECESS
Elizabeth Ault, Topeka senior, chooses to dine out at restaurants twice a week. She said she liked to cook, but eating out allowed her to sample ethnic dishes that she can't duplicate in her own kitchen.
For others, eating out off offers convenience. Hugo Vera said he dined out three or four times a week because of his busy lifestyle.
"I like to try new things," she said. "A lot of the things that I try now are things I'd like to some day learn how to cook. If I just keep eating there, I'll figure it out."
"I really do not have time to cook at home," Vera, Lawrence graduate student, said.
Vera said most of the groceries he bought ended up going bad because he had no time to cook.
Eating out at restaurants also gives students an opportunity to catch up with friends. Laura Good, Olsburg graduate student, said she liked the social atmosphere of a restaurant.
Good said she dined out at least three times a week, usually one-on-one with a different friend each time.
The downtown area alone offers students several choices in cuisine. In a matter of blocks, one passes Thai, Ethiopian and Greek establishments.

Cathy Lewis said the student population was heavily dependent on restaurants. Lewis, vice president of membership for Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said dining out was a popular activity because of our active, service-oriented community.
"People like their leisure time and eating out all plays into it," Lewis said. "They work long hours and then play hard."

Games
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2C
The ability to decide on the level of challenge is a major appeal of DVD games, which hit the market about a year and a half ago.
G
The games are designed to match the question's level of difficulty with the player's abilities, thus keeping all players satisfied and interested in the game. Scene It? is a popular movie trivia game. It has several editions, such as the Harry Potter edition, sports, music and Walt Disney. The made-over classics can be seen in this genre as well.
The Family Feud DVD is just like the television show with host Richard Karn, and people can go back in time with courtesy of a technological renovation, Name that Tune '80s Edition.
Card games have been keeping up with the pace as well Every week Stefan Vogler, Overland Park sophomore, plays a Western-themed card game called Bangl', with a group of four to six people.
Everyone plays a different role, such as a renegade or sheriff.
"It is really fun because people really get into it," Vogler said.
He said he also liked the fast pace the game demanded. He said he liked playing with people who already knew the rules.
In another card game, San Juan, players build palaces, houses for the poor, gold mines and other features.
At Fun and Games, Billings quickly sees card games leave the shelves. Titles such as MILLE, SET, Quiddler, which is a variation of Rummy only with words, Apples to Apples, Imagine IFF and Wizard are some of the first games to be sold.

that cannot be topped.
Another Massachusetts Street pastime that merits mentioning is people watching Lawrence residents have a certain knack for being out in public, whether it's the spiked rainbow mohawk or the skirt whose pocket lining is longer than the hem, it achieves its goal of getting the desired attention.
That's what makes Massachusetts Street so unique: It's all accepted as the norm.
Ashley Stubblefield, Liberty, MO, senior, said people-watching was her favorite part of going downtown.
"I love to observe the interactions between people." Stubblefield said. "The flirting, the talking; it's great."
She said she could sit on a bench for hours listening to people talk, watching them go about their everyday lives.
As exciting and moving as Massachusetts Street can be, you may come to find that you prefer more peaceful surroundings. Some sites in Lawrence offer a more relaxing and laid-back atmosphere away from the traffic and crowds of newly liberated people such as yourself.
Clinton Lake, though a bit of a drive, is well worth the small effort of getting there. It lies out far enough that it seems secluded, but isn't so far as to be uncomfortable for those unaccustomed to activities outside the residence hall.
Elena Larson, Lindsbong sophomore, said the lake was one of her favorite places to go with that special someone. She said the lake was romantic, especially when the moon was shining on the water.
"It offers a fun alternative to ordinary dates like dinner and a movie," she said. "It's also cool because it feels like you're not in Kansas anymore. That's always a plus."
T.V. on DVD puts shows at fingertips

Just as Miranda from "Sex and the City" became addicted to TiVo, a recording device that allows users to record, fast forward and rewind live TV, college students are becoming more addicted to TV series on DVD.
HBO began selling boxed sets of its hits "Sex and the City" and "The Sopranos" a few years before the DVD obsession hit big with prime time series such as "24" and "The O.C.," and, more recently, cartoons like "Family Guv."
DVD sets allow viewers to watch on their own schedules and make for great down time get-togethers.
Molly Jensen, Lawrence sophomore, is an avid fan of Fox's series "24." She said that it was more fun to have watch parties than watching the show

When a new person is hooked but has missed the first season, it's all the more reason to go
"You can take food breaks and pause the DVD," she said. "In a way it's just like getting together for a movie."
The difference between getting together for movie parties and TV show parties is main-

tion, while most show episodes are 30 minutes. This helps when new people are invited to attend watch parties because it eases the new viewers into the show.
Some students opt for comedy to fill
down time alone or with friends. "Family Guy" remains a popular choice.
"I usually watch at least two episodes of 'Family Guy' at a time. I guess it would really depend on whether I feel like being a good-for-nothing slacker or if I feel like studying," James Scollon, Lawrence freshman, said.
Though "Family Guy" regularly airs on Cartoon Network, it's hard for busy students to find time to plan a 30-minute program into their schedules.
"It's on at so many different times I haven't really figured out when to watch it. By buying it on DVD I can watch it whenever I have a free minute," Scollon said.
Compared to TiVo, having TV shows on DVD leaves no room for malfunction because every episode is included, as well as bonus features and no commercials.
Miranda's problem with missing episodes of her favorite show could have been eliminated had she just bought the season on DVD.

Top hawk to step down Students value provost's role
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Provost David Shulenburger has announced he will step down at the end of June 2006 after 13 years as a top administrator at the University of Kansas.
Shulenburger, 60, is the chief academic and operating officer for the Lawrence Campus. During his time as provost, he has overseen the five-year tuition enhancement plan and emphasized the merging of teaching and research.
Shulenburger said he began thinking about resigning from his position a few years ago. He said he decided to leave before the job wore him down completely and because he wanted to get back in the classroom. He will remain on the faculty and teach in the School of Business.
Shulenburger said there was only one other provost in the Association of American Universities that had been at his position for longer than he has.
"It's mostly about smelling the roses at 10 miles an hour instead of 70 miles an hour," he said.
Jon Wefald, president at Kansas State University, said Shulenburger's reputation as a dedicated and knowledgeable administrator had won a name for him not just in the Big 12 Conference, but across the nation.
"He is one of the smartest people I know and a brilliant academic administrator." Wefald said.
Wefala began working with Shulen-
burger during Board of Regents meetings
when Shulenburger was associate vice
chancellor for the University.
Barbara Romzek, interim dean of liberal arts and sciences, said Shulenburg
He set boundaries for each school and then let the deans decide what course of action to take, she said. She said he had made himself available to anyone who wanted to speak with him and always had the best interests of the University at heart.
He served as an associate dean and undergraduate program director before he was named associate dean for academic affairs in 1988.
Shulenburger joined the School of Business faculty as an associate professor in 1974.
He became the associate vice chan cellor for academic affairs in 1993. He took over the role of provost of the University in 1996 after a national search and interviews with more than 200 candidates.
Provost David Shulenburger has announced his retirement from his administrative position. Shulenburger has been in this position since 1996 and will step down in June 2006 and return to teaching. "There were lots of things I wanted to do that I think we accomplished." Shulenburger said.
Shulenburger said he wanted to be remembered as someone who understood the University community and did what was best for the University.
The hardest part of leaving his position will be leav ing the people he works with,he said.
Shulenburger said he would not have much of a role in the selection process for a replacement. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he hoped the search committee would be chosen within a week to 10 days.

Student leaders, past and present, are joining administration and faculty in bidding Provost David Shulenburger farewell after he announced his resignation Wednesday.
Nick Sterner, student body president and Shawnee senior, said the provost went out of his way to have active discussions with students, especially when the administration had a different opinion than students.
An administrator that worked so well with the University was valuable for student leaders, Sterner said.
"It's going to be rough for the University," Sterner said. "He'll be missed."
Shulenburger laid the groundwork for the University for the next ten years, working with the Student Senate on projects such as the new Multicultural Resource Center and the proposed entrance gate at 13th Street and Jayhawk Boulevard, Sterner said.
Sterner said that he thought Shulenburger enjoyed working with students and that Shulenburger was fun to be around. The provost never considered a question stupid, Sterner said.
Shulenburger said in a press conference Wednesday he had

respect for all the student leaders he worked with. He said the most important issue he worked on with students was guaranteed tuition. Guaranteed tuition ensures that students pay the same fixed tuition rate, without annual increases, for their first four years at the University. The students he worked with genuinely cared about the University, which made dealing with them worthwhile, he said.
SAFETY
"When everyone cares, you have to respect one another," Shulenburger said.
Steve Munch, former student body president, said Shulen-burger was accessible and always had advice. The Bellevue, Neb., senior said there was never an e-mail or phone call the provost didn't return within the day.

Firefighters clean up Wednesday after extinguishing a fire at the West Hills apartment complex, 1012 Emery Road.
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
troinett@kansan.com
troinett STAFF WRITER
An apartment in the West Hills apartment complex, 1012 Emery Road, caught fire Wednesday afternoon. Emergency personnel arrived on the scene at 2:12 p.m. after receiving a 911 call six minutes earlier.
Tom Bristow, Lawrence resident, said he was at the scene around the time the 911 call was made. He said he saw huge balls of flames bursting from the two bedroom apartment's east window and smoke coming out of the window above it.
Mark Bradford, deputy chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, said the origin of the fire was inside apartment nine in building F. He said that the two people who lived in the apartment were not home and that all residents of building F had already evacuated by the time emergency personnel arrived.
There were reports of 20 occupants in the building at the time of the fire, according to Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical. There were no injuries, Bradford said.
Bradford said that the cause of the fire was unknown and that it would be investigated. He said that the fire did not damage the surrounding apartments but
that smoke and heat did. He said the extent of that damage was unknown.
Apartment nine is on the second story of the three-story, red brick building northwest of the University. The window glass was completely gone and the edges of the hole in the building, where the window used to be, were burnt. A large yellow hose stretched from the fire hydrant around the other buildings.
"I can't go to work because the hose is blocking my car," Marqwuesa Cole, Lawrence sophomore, said. "I'm more worried about the people, as long as they are OK."
"It's really cold and it stinks out here," Kylee Tibbits, Lawrence sophomore, said.
Cole and Tibbits are roommates and live in building F. Bradford said residents of the building were not being allowed back in at that time.
Peter Ingleman, director of acquisitions at Nolan Real Estate Services, which owns West Hills, said that the most important thing was that no one was hurt. He said Nolan Real Estate would help the residents of the damaged apartment find another place to live, possibly in the same complex. The American Red Cross is also assisting those affected.

SPEAKER
Powell says technology vital to youth culture
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Technological capabilities have made a world of possibility just a click away with the Internet, but the advancements have also created a society that is fast-paced, impatient and difficult to please, a speaker said Wednesday night.
Powell spoke as part of the Anderson Chandler Lecture Series sponsored by the School of Business. Powell was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the Commission in 1997 and designated chairman by President George W. Bush in 2001. He resigned earlier this year.
Michael Powell, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, addressed a Lied Center audience about the impact of the digital revolution and the speed of technological advancement in today's society.
To demonstrate the generation gap between himself and today's youth, Powell used his sons, ages 11 and 16. He said his sons had never used a record or a rotary phone but instead only knew DVDs, CDs and gaming consoles.
Advancement in technology today is exponential and is driven by innovation, Powell said. Technology must constantly change to maintain the attention
Pawell
of teenagers and young adults.
"They're incredibly audio-visual minded. Their world moves breathtakingly fast," Powell said.
The digital revolution has
also led to impatience, increased personalization and the consumer's need for interactivity, Powell said. Powell used Napster as an example. Americans demanded music and used technology to find it online instantly and circumvent music companies.
To demonstrate personalization, Powell said that his son would pay $2.99 for a ring tone to personalize his phone, but he refused to pay for downloaded music online. Powell said that cell phone carriers made $4 billion yearly in ring tone sales to satisfy consumers' need to personalize.
Powell said that even television was often not advanced enough for some of the young in America because there was no interactivity or consumer involvement like there was with the Internet or gaming consoles.

Students urged to vaccinate
STUDENT HOUSING
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Nineteen percent of students living in the KU Department of Student Housing buildings, a total of 854 people, have not complied with the University's meningitis vaccination policy.
In order to enroll for the Spring 2006 semester, those students must either receive a meningitis vaccine from Watkins Memorial Health Center, give Watkins a record of previous vaccination or sign a waiver acknowledging they refuse to be vaccinated.
"I just haven't gotten around to it," Seth Metzler, Newton freshman, said. "I guess I'll do it when it comes to the point that I have to."
Cathy Thrasher, clinical coordinator of support services at Watkins, said that when noncompliant students tried to enroll, the Kyou portal would show "IMM hold," which means immunization hold.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said she would like students to comply with the policy now so they would be able to enroll without trouble and avoid a potentially long line at Watkins.
Thrasher said Watkins kept track of who had complied through its health center operating software.
When a student is vaccinated, brings in a record of vaccination or signs the waiver, a record of it is entered into the program.
Watkins will send letters to noncompliant students. Thrasher said students should get them next week.
She said students who did not know whether they had complied with the policy could call the compliance office at 864-9533, and that students who wanted to get the vaccination could call 864-9507 to
make an appointment.
For students who do not want to be vaccinated, a waiver is available at www.ku.edu/~shs. Students can print out the waiver or pick one up at Watkins.
The waiver contains information about meningitis that lets students know what they are waiving, Thrasher said.
Sam Williams, Topeka freshman, said she knew the possible consequences of not receiving a vaccine.
"I'm not crazy," she said. "I like my limbs. I'm kind of fond of them."

STUDENT SEATING Nearly 3,000 seats
Assigned seats coming at Arrowhead Stadium

Finding a seat with friends at the football game against Oklahoma won't be as easy as it is on a typical game day on the hill.
Unlike home games at Memorial Stadium, where student seating is general admission, students will have assigned seating at the Kansas-Oklahoma game Oct. 15 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Mo.

Marchiony said students would sit in sections 132, 133 and 134 on the lower level

Joe Michaelsen, Omaha, Neb, brittish, disagreed with the decision to put students in assigned seats at Arrowhead.
"It should be just like home games here," Michaelsen said. "We should be able to have open seating."

Students posing as security guards
Emily Soener and three other female students were in a 10th floor room in McCollum Hall late Saturday evening when two students dressed as KU Public Safety Office security monitors knocked on the open door and asked permission to enter.

"We asked what the complaint was," said Soener, Omaha, Neb., freshman. "They said something about marijuana and somebody said they could come in."
A Public Safety Office report said that Matthew S. Meyer, Camarillo, Calif., freshman, and Seth Breeding, Marysville freshman, knocked on several doors and entered after residents gave them permission.
Meyer worked as a security monitor for the KU Public Safety Office but was not on duty Saturday. Meyer let Breeding, his roommate at McCollum,

"People were falling for it," Breeding said. "They actually believed we were security."

A resident assistant called KU Public Safety, which did not cite the students because they didn't break any law, Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office said.
Soener said the episode didn't decrease her trust in KU security, but that it upset her.
Meyer said he was fired because of the exploit.
The office exhausted all avenues to make sure the students didn't break any laws, Bailey said. He said that, unfortunately, a person could knock on someone's door and lie.
Breeding, Marysley freshman, said he and Meyer knocked on doors on the ninth and 10th floors looking for their friend's missing laptop, which they never found.

Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that type of behavior was inappropriate and not allowed at the University. Stoner had not, however, received any official information on the episode.
He said that it was a Public Safety Office matter and that he would take action if he received a recommendation from the office.
Stoner said that students are not required to answer their doors. If a student is uncomfortable with a situation, he can phone the residence hall front desk, call the police or contact a resident assistant.
"I don't think there are dozens of people who violate the rules," Stoner said. "We have a single instance."

Competition challenges high school students to design car
The University of Kansas School of Engineering will again sponsor a competition for high school students to demonstrate that engineering is about more than crunching numbers.
the competition would help high school students learn more about the profession
"The whole idea is to show high school students who may not have thought about the possibility of engineering as a career that they can have a lot of fun working on projects that are directly related to the engineering field," Hummels said.
The 18th Annual High School Design Competition is scheduled for Oct. 25 in Eaton Hall. The event usually draws between 100 and 200 students. Teams will design a mousetrap car powered by one spring. The competition has three components, including speed, power and handling. Jill Hummels, director of public relations, said
Participants can also tour the school's facilities and meet with KU faculty and students.

Changes to test may toughen admissions

Champion
Tzu-chi Liu of Kalhiung, Taiwan, works in the Learning English Online Lab in Fraser Hall. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) was changed this week. Many foreign students believe the added speaking portion of the test will make it more challenging.
BY FRANK TANKARD
tankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAH WRITE
The English test required for international graduate students at the University of Kansas underwent major changes this week, which might mean added preparation for some incoming students.
Chuck Seibel, director of the KU Applied English Center, says the new format may weed out students whose spoken English skills aren't up to par.
Joan Allen, Overtland Park senior, hastily renders an interior perspective for her Interior Design Thesis course. Allen is designing a cake boutique that will be called Le Gateau. This is one quick sketch project to create workable pieces for her portfolio.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), a standardized test taken by 750,000 students worldwide last year, has been rewritten and a speaking section has been added.
The Educational Testing Service, which developed the test, implemented the new version Saturday in U.S. testing centers. It will replace the old version worldwide within a year.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
Chuck Seibel, director of the KU Applied English Center, says the new format may weed out students whose spoken English skills aren't up to par.
"A lot of people say it's going to be more challenging," he said. "I think it might test skills that the old version of the test doesn't test as well."
A speaking section has been added to the test in which test-takers are recorded talking. It also integrates reading, writing and listening skills throughout the test. Before, it tested reading, writing and listening separately and didn't include a speaking section.
Xianping Li, Beijing graduate student, said he spent many class hours preparing for the test, as well as a lot of time reading prep books.
He feared that the new test would be difficult for students from countries such as China where English isn't as commonly spoken as in Europe or the Americas.
Rajesh Maduri, Hyderabad,
India, graduate student, agreed that the test may be more difficult for students from countries where writing and reading are emphasized in class more than speaking and listening are.
"For students coming from India, English is a primary language taught from kindergarten," he said. "For students who haven't had English as primary

medium of instruction, that might be a problem."
PRISMACOLOR
The University mandates that international graduate students new to the country obtain a minimum score on the test. Undergraduate students may also take it to test out of some English classes.

"They want to be a part of the entertainment experience." Powell said.
David Stern, Minneapolis, Minn., junior, said that he learned a great deal about the impact of the digital revolution, not only on the consumer, but also from the business standpoint.
"For the networks to grab attention of teenage kids they have to have so much stuff coming at them," Stern said.
Powell addressed the educational system briefly, saying that he was not sure if it was the children or the educational system that should change.
He said that he worried that children were not taught in a way that they responded well to because of the fast-paced
world in which they lived.
Despite the immense changes in technological capabilities and the broad reach of media made possible by the Internet, Powell said that there was really no difference between generations in terms of values and the need for community.
"At the end of the day what's going to matter for us as human beings is what does not change. At the end of the day we're still human," Powell said.
Jeff Oligschlaeger, Overland Park junior, attended the lecture for extra credit for a business class but was surprised to find the lecture interesting.
"It was astoundingly well presented," Oligschlaeger said.

Majority leader faces criminal indictment
WASHINGTON — House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury Wednesday on a charge of conspiring to violate political fundraising laws, forcing him to temporarily step aside from his GOP post. He is the highest-ranking member of Congress to face criminal prosecution.
A defiant DeLay said he had done nothing wrong and denounced the Democratic prosecutor who pursued the case as a "partisan fanatic." He said, "This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history. It's a sham"
Republicans quickly moved to fill the void, while voicing polite support for Delay.

Frist inquiry now formal
BY MARCY GORDON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The Securities and Exchange Commission, which is examining a stock sale by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, has upgraded its initial informal inquiry to a formal investigation.
The change means the agency can issue subpoenas for documents rather than just requesting them.
Federal prosecutors also are investigating the Tennessee Republican's recent sale of stock in HCA Inc. about two weeks before its price dropped. Frist's family founded the big hospital operating company.
The SEC has made the in
vestigation formal, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because
Frist ordered the stock sold from several blind trusts this summer, about two weeks before HCA issued a disappointing earnings forecast that drove its share price down almost 16 percent by mid-July.
Frist's office said prosecutors and SEC investigators had contacted the senator's office about the sale.
Manhattan asking for documents the company believed were related to Frist's sale of company stock.
He sold the stock at a time when top executives and directors of HCA — including the chief executive and the treasurer — also were selling off shares worth a total of $112 million.
The change means the agency can issue subpoenas for documents rather than just requesting them.
the agency does not comment publicly on its inquiries.
It is customary in potential cases of insider trading for the agency to initiate a formal inquiry so investigators can obtain telephone and financial records and other documents.
Asked whether any subpoenas had been issued to the majority leader's office, he said, "I can't get into that right now."
"We're going to cooperate with them every step of the way. This is a usual step in inquiries of this nature." Frist spokesman Bob Stevenson said.
Already, Nashville, Tenn-
based HCA has said it has

Aides to the majority leader, who is widely considered a potential presidential candidate in 2008, say he ordered his trustee to sell
his shares to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest.
The new SEC chairman, former Rep. Christopher Cox, on Monday said that to avoid a potential conflict he would take no part in the agency's investigation. Cox was a member of the Republican leadership in Congress with Frist.
Frist has hired two private attorneys who specialize in securities litigation and insider trading cases: William McLucas, a former SEC enforcement director, and Harry Weiss, a former SEC attorney who was a co-author of a text titled "Preventing Insider Trading." Their representation of Frist was confirmed by their law firm, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr.

Residents return to New Orleans
BY ADAM NOSSITER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATON ROUGE, La. — More areas of New Orleans that escaped flooding from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will be formally reopened starting today, Mayor Ray Nagin said.
The areas include the French Quarter, the Central Business district and Uptown with its historic Garden District. Business owners will be allowed in today, and residents on Friday.
breathing."
"The re-entry started Monday and is going very well — exceedingly well." Nagin told legislators at a hearing Wednesday at the state capitol. "Everything you hoped to happen is happening. Algiers is alive and well and
On Monday, Nagin opened the Algiers neighborhood, which has electricity and clean water.
Nagin said checkpoints where officers stop people will be pulled back today so that only areas that were flooded will be off limits. Homes in those areas were heavily flooded and most are likely beyond repair.
If all goes well, as of Oct. 5 only the Lower Ninth Ward, which was hit especially hard by the flooding, will be cordoned off, Nagin said.
Electricity has been restored to some dry parts of the city, but the water is not yet drinkable. The mayor disagreed with the head of the state's Health
Department about the condition of the city's water, insisting residents could now wash in it, though they shouldn't drink it.
"The two things that are absolutely necessary to ensure public health — clean drinking water and proper sewage systems — simply are not available in the east bank area of New Orleans at this time," said Fred Cerise, secretary for the state Department of Health and Hospitals.
"People who re-enter the city may be exposed to diseases such as E. coli, salmonella or diarrhea illness if they do not allow time for the necessary inspections to ensure public health and safety," Cerise said.
Many residents of the city have returned ahead of Nagin's official timeline, and the mayor appeared eager Wednesday to get more of them back.
Nagin complained that state opposition was feeding a misperception about New Orleans, saying. "We're fighting this national impression that we're tainted, we're not ready."
Yet a handout from the mayor's office to returning motorists struck a more cautious tone than Nagin himself.
"You are entering the city of New Orleans at your own risk," it reads, before going on to detail potential health hazards from water, soil and air, and advising residents to bring in food.

Female bomber kills six
LEE KEATH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A woman disguised in a man's robes and headdress slipped into a line of army recruits Wednesday and detonated explosives strapped to her body, killing at least six recruits and wounding 35 — the first known suicide attack by a woman in Iraq's insurgency.
The attack in Tal Afar near the Syrian border appeared aimed at showing that militants could still strike in a town where U.S. and Iraqi offensives drove out insurgents only two weeks ago. A female suicide bomber may have been chosen because she could get through checkpoints — at which women are rarely searched — then don her disguise to join the line of men, Iraqi officials said.
Iraq's most notorious insurgent group, al-Qaida in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack in an Internet statement, saying it was carried out by a "blessed sister."
The bombing came a day after U.S. and Iraqi officials announced their forces killed the second-in-command of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abdullah Abu Azzam, in a raid in Baghdad over the weekend. His death has not slowed insurgent violence, with at least 84 people
- including seven U.S. service members - killed in attacks since Sunday.
President Bush warned violence will increase in the days leading up to a key Oct. 15 referendum on a new constitution, a document that has sharply divided Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority and the Sunni minority that forms the backbone of the insurgency.
"We can expect they'll do everything in their power to stop the march of freedom," Bush said. "And our troops are ready for it."
Legendary creature caught on film
A 26-foot-long Architeuthis attacks prey hung by a white rope at 900 yards deep off the coast of Japan's Bonin islands, 670 miles south of Tokyo, in the fall of 2004. The camera was operated by remote control.
SCIENCE
The U.S. military announced Wednesday that two more American soldiers and an airman were killed in violence and a Marine was killed by a noncombat gunshot. The deaths brought to 1,922 the number of U.S. service members who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Association Press count.

Kubodera's team captured photos of the 26-foot-long beast attacking its bait, then struggling for more than four hours to get free. The squid pulled so hard on the line baited with shrimp that it severed one of its own tentacles.
"It was quite an experience to feel the still-functioning tentacle on my hand," Kubodera, a researcher with Japan's National Science Museum, said. "But the photos were even better."
For centuries giant squids, formally called Architeuthis, have been the stuff of legends, appearing in the myths of ancient Greece or attacking a submarine in Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." But they had never been seen in their natural habitat, only caught in fishing nets or washed ashore dead or dying.
The Japanese team, capping a three-year effort, filmed the creature in September of last year, finding what one researcher called "the holy grail" of deep-sea animals.
The results were not announced until this week, when they were published in Wednesday's issue of the British journal, the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Kyoichi Mori, of the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association, co-authored the study.
Giant squid are the world's largest invertebrates, having been known to exceed 50 feet. Kubodera said the one he caught on camera was probably an adult female. He said the squid's tentacle would not grow back, but its life was not in danger.
The photos earned the team cheers from researchers around the world, largely because of the
difficulty of finding the mysterious giant.
"That's getting footage of a real sea monster," said Randy Kochevar, a deep-sea biologist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. "Nobody has been able to observe a large giant squid where it lives. There are people who said it would never be done. It's really an incredible accomplishment."
The photos taken with strobe lights at 30-second intervals also shed some new light on the animal's behavior.
"That's getting footage of a real sea monster."
"We think it is a much more active predator than was previously thought," Kubodera said Wednesday. "It had previously been seen as more lethargic, and not as strong."
In the pictures, the squid's tentacles can be seen stretching out toward the bait, grasping it and pulling away in a ball. It is then seen struggling to get itself free of the jig attached to the line
under the remote-controlled camera. The struggle took place at a depth of between 2,000 to 3,000 feet.
He added that he had some help — from a population of sperm whales.
"We knew that they fed on the squid, and we knew when
and how deep they dived," he said. "So we used them to lead us to the squid."
Kudodera and his team found the squid about 10 miles off the remote island of Chichijima, which is about 600 miles southeast of Tokyo. They had been conducting expeditions in the area for about three years before they actually succeeded in making their first contact at 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 20 last year.
"We were very lucky," he said. "A lot of research went into it, but still, others have tried and not succeeded."

A new female precedent
I have never been so infuriated and downright amazed at the ignorance and severe lack of logic presented in the article "Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, a woman president." First of all, as a woman, I do not enjoy being compared to an imaginary fat man.
Secondly, the article was based upon 1950s stereotypes that lacked any form of logic, making the entire argument pathetic and contradictory. As a favor to all women who are in college to learn and make something of themselves, I have gladly taken the liberty to take this article apart, piece by piece, just so there is no confusion that a woman can and should become president if she so desires.
First point, the writer claims that in the past, men believed that woman were too incompetent to be put in positions of power. Of course, this stigma still exists today.
If it did not, then women would be making just as much money as men and holding a seat in the presidency.
The problem lies in the writer's claim that a woman cannot and should not become president because of this misogynistic stereotype.
To discredit this view, I would like to highlight that scientific evidence shows that females, on average, actually have higher IQ scores and are better at interpersonal communication than males.
The last time I checked, interpersonal communication and intelligence were both positive attributes desired in a leader.
In conjunction with this, the writer talks about politics being a WASP playground.
Anyone who pays attention to this fact would have to agree, but thank goodness not everyone has given up and accepted this reality.
True, the white male still outranks the African American, the Hispanic and female population in Congress, but the power is no longer absolute. Thank goodness not everyone just accepted that having an African American in Congress was equivalent to believing in Santa Claus.
Third point, the writer argues that a woman should not become president because she would have no time for family, and if she did have a family,
---
MICHELLE GOODRICK opinion@kansan.com
then her "maternal instinct" would get in the way.
I guess the writer assumes that due to this lack of "maternal instinct" in males, fathers must not feel some kind of responsibility to their family and have no problem giving their "undying attention" to the oval office.
Also, while we're at it, because this article is based totally upon baseless facts, why don't we all just assume that every women must have a
"You can find yourself living vicariously through the male genitalia, but I will keep my dignity as both a woman and a human being intact by using my God-given talents that do not revolve around sex or food."
family and totally ignore the reality that many women remain quite active and competent after age 40, a time when most presidents are elected and women finish child rearing.
My fourth point starts with a quote from our writer in reference to the incompetence of women as leaders because of biological factors such as PMS.
"The chemical imbalances during this time have several side effects from cramps to becoming total bitches who crave chocolate."
Now in this article I am going to ask you all to at least pretend to be college students who can use reason and logic in the face of facts.
A woman experiences PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) when levels of estrogen fall. As a result of this reduction, the ratio of testosterone to estrogen increases.
Therefore, during these times that men complain women are so moody and the writer claims that women are so irrational, in all actuality, a woman is more like a man then any other time of the month. As for being physically weaker, let's see a man give birth.
The Nazi's — and I am by no means condoning these tests, just reporting the results
tested the endurance of males and females and found that females stayed conscious longer than males during trials of severe pain.
This makes sense when put in the context of childbirth. This also makes sense when put in the context of politics, or any other profession. Just because a woman may not be able to bench press 200 pounds, does not mean that she cannot lead 200 or more people. The belief that women are the "fairer" and "weaker" sex exists only because the very ideals of what strength consists of is built upon a patriarchal construct.
My final point takes the writer's mention of the examples of Queen Boudicca, Queen Elizabeth, and Margaret Thatcher and says, "Hey, you just mentioned and highlighted three prominent leaders of the western world, all of which were women." This eliminates and forces your argument to be reviewed as total crap.
I do not know about the rest of the women on this campus, but I am willing to bet that taking advice about politics from Kim Cattral is not going to be viewed as the best source.
You can give as many "blow jobs" as you want, wear heels and pearls while making breakfast, and find yourself living vicariously though the male genitalia, but I will keep my dignity as both a woman and a human being intact by using my God-given talents that do not revolve around sex or food.
It all depends on your perspective and talents as a human being, not your position as a man or as a woman.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Turn down the stereotypes
I am so glad that Sara Garlick finally figured it all out for me in her latest column, "Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, a woman president." Because our country has never had a female president, why start now? After all, we wouldn't want those chocolate cravings to get in the way of running a country, would we?
Give me a break!
be. If we instead use the classic stereotypes of men, then they would be unfit for commander in chiefs as well. Beer-guzzling, football-watching, ball-scratching, girl-oogling; all of these daily activities would be too much of a distraction for any man to run the country.
Garlick used the ultimate stereotypes to defend her position on how incompetent a woman might
Well, if it wasn't for women like Garlick who condone this treatment, I highly doubt that men would fail to support their women in any way possible. Or perhaps this is just my mental inferiority to men settling in. Or perhaps my PMS has started making me delusional, and men really are far superior.

THE KING OF BEERS
ROVE
held accountable for, he chooses a natural disaster. To me, one of the main arguments for a democracy, as opposed to a monarchy like the one we rebelled against, is that everyone can be held accountable under law.
Columnist's Rendition of Karl Rove
Rove: a smooth criminal
On Thursday, Sept. 15, right after "The O.C.," President George W. Bush walked out in front of the New Orleans capitol building and accepted blame for the federal government not doing its job correctly.
It doesn't matter anymore if you are Republican or Democrat; you can't let things like this go. Rove's actions are a definitive, tangible, illegal breach that there is no defense for.
He was alone at his lectern; no aides, no security visible, and no Dick. Just as he was warned before September 11, he was warned about Katrina, and even though he is in charge of the greatest military in the world in the richest country, he did almost nothing until it was too late for thousands of Americans.
At this point, it's irrelevant to try to argue about Bush's presidency based on moral beliefs or opinions. Look whom we elected twice, and let's look at its immaculate track record: it allowed September 11 to happen, lied about WMD's, causing thousands to die at war, and did nothing despite numerous warnings when Katrina was coming.
You would think someone in this presidential cabinet could be convicted of some crime. Well, it has, and it all goes back to the man who Satan would start a fan club for. Karl Rove.
MAX KREUTZER opinion@kansan.com
Rove indicated that Valarie Plame was a CIA agent to Time reporter Matt Cooper in 2003.
I'm not worried about Rove eventually having something negative happen to him because of this.
Under Executive Order 12958, all White House officials who are subject to classified information must sign a Classified Information Nondisclosure agreement stating they understand the laws of the Executive Order 12958. Section 5.5 of this Order states that, "Officers and employees of the United States Government, and its contractors, licensees, certificate holders, and grantees shall be subject to appropriate sanctions if they knowingly, willfully, or negligibly disclose to unauthorized persons information properly classified under this order or predecessor orders."
Matt Cooper was not an authorized person. The important part of this is the "knowingly, willfully, or negligently" the defenders of Rove all say he can't be held legally accountable if he did not knowingly release her name.
Rove has signed this form,and
This Executive Order was designed with people like Rove in mind, so that there would be no way someone could release classified information, even if he did do it "unknowingly," without harsh legal consequences.
The Order also specifically states that the president has to, at a minimum, "promptly remove the classification authority of any individual who demonstrates reckless disregard or a pattern of error in applying the classification standards of this order." and launch an investigation into the breach separate of any other ongoing investigations.
Basically, Rove signed a legal document saying he would not reveal classified information or acknowledge any classified information, and he did.
This seems to be old news; senator Henry Waxman of California has been talking about it for years and sending letters to Bush asking for action. Other senators have started sending letters as well as community organizations.
Under the Executive Order 12958, if someone does leak information, the president is supposed to initiate an investigation and immediately revoke that person's classification clearance. The president has not done any of this.
It amazes me that, of all the things Bush could and should be
Rove so clearly broke the law that, though he probably has some favors from Satan still, some legal action will be taken against him. The wheels of justice grind slowly, especially when they have to grind a whale of a jerk like Rove.
After all, in the early similar presidency of Richard Nixon, Nixon wasn't the first one to go. The topple began with men who had positions similar to Rove's. H.R. Haldeman was a presidential counselor, and John Ehrlichman was just in Nixon's inner circle. Haldeman, the White House chief of staff, followed, and then Nixon himself.
My main concern is that we all understand that Rove did something illegal.
The reason being that U.S. News and The New York Times have reported White House insiders saying that Rove is going to have a big hand in the rebuilding of New Orleans.
To me, this would be like putting Hitler in charge of Disney Land on Children with Terminal Illness Day. Have the people of New Orleans not suffered enough? He doesn't deserve to be in New Orleans; he should be in jail instead.

'Hawks fall again
Kansas loses but Lima hits milestone
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas volleyball team committed countless unforced errors at Texas Tech last night and was swept for the first time this season, despite a performance by senior middle blocker Jos! Lima that broke the KU kills record.
Kansas' 3-0 loss added to the team's road struggles. The Jayhawks have lost all three of their games away from home.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said that was typical in a conference as tough as the Big 12 Conference. He said the team would have to be able to win road matches if it wanted to finish near the top of the league.
The Red Raiders dominated the match from the outset and dropped the Jayhawks to 11-3 and 3-2 in the Big 12.
"I think Texas Tech was better prepared than we were tonight," Bechard said. "We'll get another opportunity when they come to Lawrence."
frame despite being tied as late as 25-25. The Jayhawks committed 13 errors and posted a .041 attack percentage. A hitting error by junior outside hitter Jana Correa ended the proceedings.
The Red Raiders jumped in front with a 30-28 victory in game one. Kansas never held a lead in the
Game two saw the Jayhawks bounce back to take an early 8-5 lead. Texas Tech responded with a run to tie the game at 9-9. From there the Jayhawks struggled again, allowing the Red Raiders to build a 21-18 advantage. They kept Kansas at arms length the rest of the way to win 30-25, putting the Jayhawks down 0-2 for the second straight road match.
An early 6-1 run by Texas Tech gave it the cushion it needed to close out the match. The Red Raiders extended their lead to 26-16 before putting the Jayhawks away, 30-19.
Bechard lamented the errors and blamed much of the outcome of the match on the Jayhawks' sloppy play.
The final stanza was the Jayhawks' worst from an efficiency standpoint. Their .024 attack percentage was their worst of any game this season.
"Many of our errors were unforced," he said. "We have to get back to work."
For the match, Kansas hit just .075 as a team. It wasted a good defensive effort in which the team held Texas Tech to .171.

Sang led a balanced attack for the Red Raiders with 10 kills and 10 digs. Senior outside hitter Paula Caten had 15 kills for the Jayhawks while hitting a team-high 290.
Lima had 11 kills, which made her the Jayhawks' all-time kills leader with 1,308 total.
Beachard dismissed the idea that Kansas might not have taken Texas Tech seriously.
"Our team understood that you don't take anyone lightly," he said. "After Oklahoma pushed us to five games a couple of weeks ago, we knew that it was going to be tough every match."
Kansas returns to action Saturday, when it will have a chance for its first conference road victory when the team visits Colorado.

Players prepare for crowd distractions on the road

The road stretch has Jayhawk players preparing for hostile environments.
Beginning Saturday against Texas Tech, the Jayhawks will play their next four football games away from the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium.
The Texas Tech band could be one of the crowd distractions Kansas will face as it travels to Lubbock, Texas, Saturday. The Red Raiders have averaged 48,000 fans a game at Jones SBC Stadium this season.

The Jayhawks have struggled on the road since Kansas football coach Mark Mangino took over the program in 2002. Mangino has just one conference road victory, which came against Missouri last year.
"We need to continue to build on that," Mangino said. "We have played in hostile environments everywhere."
Despite being the first road game of the season, the players will prepare for it like any other road contest.
Mangino said he told his players that playing on the road was no different than playing at home.
"It's just a different environment to play in." senior quarterback Brian Luke said. "I think for the most part, we are mature enough to handle that."
"I tell our kids that the fans aren't out on the field. They still only have 11 guys out there and the field is still only 100 yards long." Mangino said. "We have to do our job and stay focused and I'm confident that we will."
"Luke said that coaches turned on loudspeakers at practice to simulate the noise the offense would face when playing Texas Tech on Saturday.
"It is going to be a test to see how we react to those circumstances and that environment," Luke said.
Luke successfully dealt with the crowd in last season's victory over Missouri. He will have to deal with the crowd again in Lubbock, Texas, especially when trying to change plays at the line of scrimmage.
"You just have to make calls
a little louder. You have to have your hands up a little bit more," Ochoa said.
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said road games change the team's routine, especially after playing three straight home games. He said the biggest concern on the field would be for younger players who
have yet to experience the road environment. The Jayhawks will have to keep their mental edge when the crowd erupts, senior linebacker Brandon Perkins said.
The Red Raiders have averaged more than 48,000 fans per game this season.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
After finishing in eighth place Saturday in the 20th Annual Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis, Minn., the Kansas men's cross country team is now ranked 24th in the nation.
Junior Benson Chesang, who finished second overall at the invitational, was named Big 12 Runner of the Week.
By finishing eighth overall, Kansas placed higher than Arizona State, Butler and Providence, which are ranked 11, 17, and 27 respectively.
Stanley Redwine Kansas cross country coach
Outperforming those teams was enough for Kansas to earn the national recognition of a ranking from the Mondo Cross Country Poll.
"Benson is a very talented athlete and a great competitor."
"It's an indication of hard work," cross country coach Stanley Red-
wine said. "They have been working hard to achieve a goal, and that is to be nationally ranked and to make it to the NCAA, and I think that it is a step along the way." The Jayhawks also moved from fourth place in the Midwest Regional Poll to third.
In addition to being the second runner to cross the finish line in a race of 255 runners, Chesang was named Big 12 Runner of the Week for the second time in his career. It was a year ago this week when Chessang first received the honor.
"It just caught me by surprise," Chesang said. "At the same time, it means something really important to me. It shows how much effort I have put into
my running this season."
The only runner to finish ahead of Chesang was last season's national champion, Simon Bairu of Wisconsin.
"Benson is a very talented athlete and a great competitor," Redwine said.
Redwine added that at one time in the race, Chesang was not even in the top 20. He said that he looked again and he had pulled up to second place.
The men's and women's cross country teams will be off this weekend. The next race will be the NCAA Pre-Nationals Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 15.

Game will be symbolic
With a win, Kansas fans will count on a bowl appearance. A close loss will have fans talking about Kansas' realistic chance for victory next week at Kansas State.
But, perhaps Saturday's game between Kansas and Texas Tech will be one of the more symbolic games for Kansas in some time.
It's not often that a game on the first Saturday of October can give insight to how the rest of a season will turn out.
A blowout loss, however, will have the fickle Kansas fans — those who constantly whine about when basketball season will once again resurface — jumping off the football bandwagon in a hurry.
That's a lot for just one football game, but after three wins against inferior competition, fans want to see Kansas compete against Big 12 Conference teams in what will undoubtedly be a grueling stretch that will continue through the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Of course, you could say the same for Texas Tech and its Playstation-like offense. The Red Raiders started the season against competition that would make Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder, who is infamous for playing cream puff nonconference schedules, chuckle.
Saturday in Lubbock, the two friends will meet a year after Leach got the upper hand on Mangino when the Jayhawks blew a 25-point lead and Leach called a 70-yard draw on fourth and six to score the winning touchdown.
You have to give Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach credit. By producing a perennial winner in Lubbock, Texas, he has proven that he's one of the most underrated coaches in the nation.
But you don't have to tell Kansas football coach Mark Mangino that. The two are good friends and worked together in 1999 at Oklahoma when Leach was the offensive coordinator and Mangino was an assistant. The following year, Mangino replaced Leach, who had left to take the Texas Tech job.
Despite that, Kansas did show that it could play with the Red Raiders. And make no mistake, Texas Tech in no way is a powerhouse in the conference.
That year, Mangino helped the Sooners to an undefeated season and the National Championship, collecting honors as assistant coach of the year along the way.
Texas Tech won't be recognized as a power until it lines up against Texas or Oklahoma and comes away with a victory.
That's why this game could reveal a lot about both teams Although their goals seem different, they are really the same. Both teams are working to overcome stigmas that have plagued their respective programs.
A win would go further in establishing change for both. Of course, it will mean more to Kansas. If Kansas wins Saturday, the line for the bandwagon will get a lot longer.

Kansas to make up missed softball game against William Jewell todav
The threat of rain forced the Kansas softball team to wait until today to play William Jewell College.
The game was originally scheduled for today, but a forecast that included a 50 percent chance of rain pushed the game back to today.
The teams will meet at 2:30 p.m. at Arrocha Ballpark.
William Jewell, a member of the Heart of America Athletic Conference, posted an overall record of 35-17 last season.
The Jayhawks enter the contest with a 4-0 record after winning the Kansas Softball Invitational last weekend.
The Kansas pitching staff produced two no-hitters and allowed only two earned runs in the four victories.

Pittsburgh Pirates finish season with win against Chicago Cubs
CHICAGO — Rookie Nate McLouth homered for the third straight day to lead Pittsburgh to a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Wednesday.
The Cubs finished the season 38-43 at Wrigley Field.
Paul Maholm (3-1), in his sixth major league start, outpitched Mark Prior (11-7), who lost to Pittsburgh for the first time in his career.
McLouth's fourth homer of the season gave Pittsburgh a 3-0 lead. Jose Macias hit his first homer of the season for Chicago.

The team performed well in its previous tournament, and it expects nothing less during the Indiana Invitational Friday through Sunday. But the coaches and players know they can't just walk in and be as successful. This tournament features talented teams that can push the Jayhawks harder than before.
The Kansas tennis team is off to a good start and playing at a level that may help erase the memory of last year's disappointing season.
"This is going to be a tough tournament," senior Christine Skoda said. "These matches will be harder
TALK TO US
than the last weekend. We still have the same expectations though."
The schools Skoda and company will face Friday through Sunday include Indiana University, Kansas State, Louisiana State, Murray State and Notre Dame.
Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said the quality of teams in Bloomington, Ind., would make for a true test for her squad.
Besides better competition, the tournament presents one more feature for the Jayhawks. They get an early shot at rival K-State.
"Notre Dame has some of the top players in the country," Hall-Holt said. "There is going to be a higher talent there."
"I'm anxious to play K-State,"
For Evansville, Ind., junior Brittany Brown, this will be her homestate debut for the season. Brown went undefeated in the Hurricane Invitational in Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 16 to 18. She said she felt more confident during the tournament. She hopes this confidence will find its way into her game as she faces opponents who present more of a challenge.
"I'm really anxious to play," Brown said. "I hope I can go into the tournament with confidence like I had in the first one."
hall-Holt said. "It's nice to get a look at a Big 12 team in the fall."
Confidence may be Brown's pathway to success, but determination may be the key for the team as a whole.
"I think we'll maintain the level we played at in the first weekend," Skoda said. "We've been working hard these last few weeks."
"I think the first tournament was a confidence builder," Hall-Holt said. "You can see the confidence at practice. It's very encouraging as a coach."
Hall-Holt said the team is showing a new-found confidence that it didn't have last season.
Skoda said with the better competition, she and her teammates would have to focus.
"We're going to have to fight through the matches," Skoda said.

Kansas State features young offensive squad
BY DAVE SKRETTA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — At Kansas State this season, about the only thing that has drawn as much attention as running back Thomas Clayton's recent arrest is the play of the offensive line.
The two-deep chart lists eight freshmen and sophomores among the 10 total spots. Kansas State has already lost an expected starter and a backup for the season, and the
line got even thinner during Kansas State's 54-7 victory over North Texas on Saturday.
Redshirt-freshman Matt Boss went down with a leg injury in the first quarter, followed shortly after by center Jacob Voegeli.
Coach Bill Snyder said Tuesday he doesn't expect Boss to play when the Wildcats open Big 12 Conference play Saturday at Oklahoma. Voegeli is listed as probable.

Other than senior Jeromey Clary, who has started 29 straight games, the Wildcats' offensive line has consisted of junior Greg Wafford, sophomores Voegeli and John Hafferty and redshirt freshmen Gerard Spexarth, Jor-
But despite their youth and inexperience, Snyder said the linemen were living up to expectations.
"We've made progress," he said. "I thought last ballgame, there were signs improvement was continuing. We still make mistakes. We still got penalized more than I would like. We still had assignment errors, but nevertheless, you look at it — they've made steady improvement."

This may be a breakout season for junior golfer Amanda Costner.
The look of a winner is seen in the precocious look in her blue eyes. Her solid golf game is apparent in her thirdplace individual finish at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic.
But most importantly, her determination is heard in the cool confidence of her speech.
I am a licensed
laboratory technician.
"I want to win at least another tournament and
go to Regional," Costner said. "I want to be an All-American."
Costner has already made strides this summer by qualifying for the U.S. Amateur Public Links and the U.S. Women's Amateur, the two most prominent tournaments for amateurs in the country.
Last season, Costner won her first college tournament at The Lady Boilermaker Invitational at Purdue University in what she said was her proudest golf achievement.
SPORTS
Costner's work ethic has not only benefitted herself, but also benefited the rest of the team.

"The team looks to Amanda to see what we are striving for," sophomore teammate Sarah Kierl said.

Costner has used the influence of her father to reach new heights in her golf game.
Her father showed her how to be diligent when she was a kid growing up in Claremore, Okla.
Jack Dempsey/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"My dad always kept on pushing me. He took me away from sitting on the couch and just being lazy," Costner said, "I wouldn't be here without him."
Costner's father, a preacher in Claremore, gave his daughter the gift of faith as well.
When Costner was a senior at Claremore High School, she did not receive any scholarship offers from Division I Oklahoma schools.
This included Tulsa, her No. 1 choice at the time.
Costner's faith shined through when she talked about her present situation in Lawrence.
"KU is where I'm supposed to be." Costner said. "God sent me here for a reason."
Costner has an interest in arts as well. She said she played the guitar and drums in her spare time.
She also has an interest in Harry Potter movies and stayed up all night to read the newest book. She enjoys a bit of television, too.
"I love 'Higher Ground,'" she said. "It was on Fox Family in like 1998, but nobody has ever heard of it. Luckily, it was on some digital cable channel this summer so I taped all of the episodes."
"And if that doesn't work, I want to help people."
"After I graduate, I want to be on the Futures Tour," she said of the professional women's tour that serves as a stepping stone to the LPGA tour.
Costner is obviously having fun off the course, but she knows when she needs to focus on school and golf in order to reach her goal of becoming a professional. Costner is a behavioral sciences major at Kansas.
Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey says he doesn't regret making comments about the Chiefs not playing hard during the two teams' Monday night match-up. Bailey's comments frustrated Kansas City coach Dick Vermeil.

DENVER — Champ Bailey didn't apologize when he learned he made Kansas City coach Dick Vermeil mad for saying the Chiefs weren't playing hard.

BRONCOS
24
Instead, Bailey insisted he'd say it again.
"I'm doing my job, doing it well," Bailey said Wednesday. "I'm going to keep doing it and I'm going to talk about it."
At issue were statements Bailey made to teammates during Denver's 30-10 victory over Kansas City on Monday. Bailey wore a microphone during the game and some of his comments were heard on ABC.
"The way they played up there in Kansas City, it ain't the same, though," said Bailey, referring to last season's 45-17 Chiefs win. "They're playing a little different. They're not playing as hard. I ain't going to relax, though."
Bailey left the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury, which has put his availability in limbo for next week's game in Jacksonville, which would be his 100th consecutive start.
The results of the MRI exam were better than he expected.
"I don't know the complete diagnosis," Bailey said Wednesday. "I just know I didn't tear anything and that was the best news possible."
It didn't look as good last Monday night when he dragged down Chiefs fullback Tony Richardson for a modest gain late in the second quarter. He tried to get up, but the leg buckled under him.
"The way it felt then, I thought my leg was going to fall apart," Bailey said. "I'm fine now."
Still, the hamstring wasn't good enough to allow him to practice Wednesday.
"I'm very optimistic I'll play," he said. "I always think I can play. I never count myself out."
On Tuesday, Vermeil vented some frustration over Bailey's in-game comments.
"I know this — none of our players said Champ Bailey didn't play
hard when we beat them by three touchdowns last year out here," Vermeil said. "Eddie Kennison didn't say that Champ Bailey was not playing hard."
Vermeil said he has never let his players wear microphones during games because "sometimes that embarrasses the player."
If Bailey was embarrassed or upset about what he said, it sure didn't
sound like it Wednesday.
"I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind," Bailey said. "I felt like I was kicking (expletive). So, I just said it."

Astros still in lead of wild-card race
ST.LOUIS — Morgan Enberg had a tie-breaking double in the ninth inning, his fourth hit of the game, and the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6 Wednesday night to maintain a 2 1/2-game lead over Philadelphia in the NL wild-card race.
With the score 6-6, Willy Taveras led off the ninth with his major league-leading 69th in-field hit and scored without a play on Ensberg's double into the left-field corner off Jason Isringhausen (1-2).
Houston swept a two-game series against the NL Central champions, finishing the season 5-11 against St. Louis, and will close the regular season with a four-game series at home against the Cubs that starts today.
Lance Berkman and Mike Lamb homered for the Astros, who at 87-71 are a seasonbest 16 games above .500.
Chad Qualls (6-4) worked a perfect eighth, and Brad Lidge finished for his 40th save in 43 chances.
Reggie Sanders hit his first home runs since early July, connecting on consecutive at-bats for the Cardinals, who got another spotty outing from 21-game winner Chris Carpenter.
The Cardinals are 3-8 since clinching the division and must sweep a season-ending series at home against the Reds to give the franchise consecutive 100-win seasons for the second time, the first since 1942 to 1944.
Carpenter was shaky from the start, giving up a line-drive
Carpenter has failed in four attempts at getting his 22nd win while reaching a careerhigh 241 2-3 innings.
single to Craig Biggio on his first pitch. In all, he allowed six runs — five earned — and nine hits in six innings.
Carpenter is 0-1 with a 9.14 ERA since throwing seven scoreless innings against the Mets Sept. 8, hiking his overall ERA from 2.21 to 2.83.
Against the Astros he was better with the bat, hitting his first two career doubles and scoring twice.
Houston took a 4-2 lead against Carpenter in the fifth on consecutive home runs by Berkman and Lamb, the first leaving the frustrated pitcher barking into his glove at himself.
A four-run fifth highlighted by Sanders' second homer and 20th overall, a two-run shot off Scott Strickland, put the Cardinals ahead 6-4.
Carpenter's second double of the game started a rally that included an RBI single by Jim Edmonds and a sacrifice fly by Larry Walker.
Carpenter, who won 13 straight games from June 14 to Sept. 8, couldn't hold a lead for the second straight outing, surrendering a sacrifice fly to Biggio and a tying single by Taveras in the sixth.
Notes: Carpenter finished 12-1 with a 2.75 ERA against the NL Central.
A crowd of 40,616 was the Cardinals' 39th straight of 40,000 or more.
The final weekend, a three-game series against the Reds, is a sellout.
Sanders has 26 multi-homer games, including two this year.
Carpenter was a career .067 hitter and was batting .400 this year (3-for-75) before doubling and scoring in both of his at-bats.

McNabb has hernia
BY DAN GELSTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb tossed touchdown passes on a broken ankle and played an NFC title game with an agonizing rib injury.
Now McNabb is taking his biggest health risk yet: playing with a severe abdominal strain that likely will need surgery and definitely will leave the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback in discomfort and pain all season.
"Fortunately for me, I haven't got to the point where you just can't go," McNabb said. "Once that happens, then I think the best way of handling this is not being out there. But I don't think that would ever happen."
"We're hoping it's something we'll be able to manage," Burkholder said. "The plan with Donovan is to allow him to participate, continue to rehabilitate him and we're going to take it on a day-by-day, game-by-game situation."
Trainer Rick Burkholder said rest will not fix the problem and McNabb can play if he can handle the pain. McNabb, who practiced Wednesday, does not have to be sidelined now for the sports hernia.
McNabb is expected to start Sunday against Kansas City and is willing to play through his various injuries. McNabb also is playing with soreness in his chest and a shin contusion.
"I'm ready to go." McNabb said Wednesday. "I don't have any concerns right now. ... It's just something you have to deal with and realize some days you'll feel great and some days you won't."
McNabb was tested last week for the sports hernia, but coach Andy Reid called the injury an abdominal strain after the Eagles' win over Oakland. McNabb went to Boston on Tuesday for another opinion and it was confirmed he has a sports hernia.
"His pain may get worse, it may get better, the condition won't." Burkholder said. "It's not like he's going to do a career-ending problem to his abdomen or his groin."
McNabb hoped to delay surgery. Burkholder said it usually takes eight to 12 weeks to recover from that type of surgery.
"If I can avoid it, I definitely will avoid it," McNabb said. "If that's the case that I have to have it, then it will happen."
McNabb didn't know when he first hurt the area. He came into training camp with soreness in his abdomen. He seemed to be fine until the second game
against San Francisco, when the injury was aggravated.
The injury hasn't affected NMcabb's performance too much. Against the 49ers, he matched his career best with five TD passes and threw for 342 yards while playing three quarters.
MLB
Against the Raiders, McNabb rebounded from a slow first half and finished with 365 yards passing, two touchdowns and a career-high 25 passes.
"It's good that I've been in the situation before where I've dealt with pain, I've dealt with soreness, dealt with injuries," McNabb said.

Congress demands standard test from all professional athletes
WASHINGTON — The head of the baseball players' union told Congress Wednesday that a new drug-testing agreement could be reached next month — after he heard Hank Aaron and other Hall of Famers call for tougher steroid penalties.
Commissioners and union leaders from the NFL, NBA and NHL also testified at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing about legislation that would standardize steroid testing in U.S. professional sports.
"I particularly single out baseball. And in baseball, I particularly single out the players," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) "because they have negotiated reluctantly, if at all."
Lawmakers looking at steroids in sports have focused on baseball since March 17, when Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, commissioner Bud Selig and Fehr testified before the House Government Reform Committee.
But the focus was squarely on Major League Baseball — and, more precisely, on players' association chief executive Donald Fehr.
Palmeiro emphatically told Congress he never used steroids; he was suspended Aug. 1 after failing a drug test.
"We're at the end of the line," Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) said Wednesday. "How many more Rafael Palmeiros is there going to be?"
Five weeks after that March hearing, Selig proposed going from a 10-day ban to 50 games for a first violation, from 30 days to 100 games for a second, and from 60 days to a lifetime ban for a third.
Fehr this week outlined an
"Don't you understand that this is an issue of such transcendent importance that you should have acted months ago? The patience of this body is at an end."
Sen. John McCain
R-Arizona
approach that would increase the first penalty to 20 games and wouldn't mandate a lifetime ban. He stressed Wednesday the need for case-by-case examination of players who fail drug tests.
"Don't you get it?" McCain asked Fehr. "Don't you get it that this is an issue that's greater than the issue of collective bargaining? Don't you understand that this is an issue of such transcendent importance that you should have acted months ago? The patience of this body ... is at an end."
Pressed to say when there will be a new steroids agreement, Fehr said: "Can I give you a precise date? No. Do I expect to know within the reasonably near future whether that will be done? Yes. Would I expect it to be by the end of the World Series? I would certainly hope so."
The World Series is scheduled to begin Oct. 22 and end no later than Oct. 30. Asked whether that's a workable deadline, Selig said, "I don't see that we have a choice."
Selig received more criticism in past congressional appearances. But now he's advised by former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer and has received praise for proposing changes to baseball's drug policy.
Yesterday, he brought along former stars Aaron, Ryne Sandberg, Phil Niekro, Robin Rob
erts and Lou Brock.
McCain invited them to speak, and all backed Selig.
"I want to applaud the commissioner, and I also just want to make sure that whatever we do, we make sure that we clean up baseball," said Aaron, whose lifetime record of 755 homers is being approached by San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds.
Asked by McCain what should be done about records tainted by steroid use, Aaron said: "That's going to be left up to the commissioner and the rules committee. They would probably have to go back and look at some of those things that happened."
Later, Sen. George Allen, R-Va., made a not-so-voile reference to Bonds: "As far as Hank Aaron is concerned, if a certain player breaks his home run record, it's not a question of an asterisk. ... There probably ought to be an 'RX' next to it."
The Senate is considering two bills that call for a two-year suspension for a first positive drug test and a lifetime ban for a second.
McCain sponsored the Clean Sports Act. Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Kentucky) a member of baseball's Hall of Fame, sponsored the Professional Sports and Integrity Act. There are three similar House measures.
McCain and Bunning said they'd prefer not to legislate but warned that Congress is prepared to.
NBA, NFL and NHL officials raised some complaints about the bills, saying a "one size fits all" proposal isn't fair; U.S. law couldn't be applied to Canadian teams; and the two-year ban for a first offense is too harsh.
"For whatever reason, you just can't get it done, and you can't get your act together," Bunning said. "I and millions of fans think that's pathetic."

When a pregnant Jennifer Garner appeared on NBC's "Tonight Show" on Tuesday night, host Jay Leno asked, "So what do we have here? A boy or a girl? Do you know vet?"

Look, I thought he could handle a few bites. I was wrong ok! Everyone makes mistakes.
"You can just start to feel really pregnant. Like you are the hugest person on the face of the planet."
"We have one or the other for sure," replied Garner, who is married to her "Daredevil" co-star Ben Affleck. Later in the show, Garner seemed to refer to her baby bump as a "she."
The 33-year-old actress stars as Sydney Bristow on ABC's "Alles", returning Thursday night for its fifth season.
The Associated Press
Garner's pregnancy was written into the show.
Will it be a boy or girl for Ben and Jen?
LONDON — Vivienne Westwood has launched a line of T-shirts to take a stand against a proposed anti-terror law..

"I am not a terrorist. Please don't arrest me," says one T-shirt, which Westwood designed to raise funds for Liberty, one of Britain's largest civil rights organizations.
The campaign opposes the government's proposal to allow terrorist suspects to be detained for up to three months without being charged, instead of the present 14 days.
Another design says: "Liberty throw away the key."

▼ HOROSCOPES The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Thursday, Sep 25, 2003
You don't always want to hear a partner's point of view this year. This person could be quite critical and difficult, and might feel as if he or she is always right. Don't deal with others in the here and now, but rather consider the value and importance of their relationship. Learn to focus rather than scatter, which could come naturally this year. If you are single, romance could knock on your door, though getting along with this person has its own set of challenges. If you are attached, take in what your sweetie says and evaluate it. Make it OK to look at life differently. The period between Dec. 28, 2005, and Feb. 3, 2006, could be touchy. Try to avoid anything major at this time. VIRGO reads you cold.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ You might be pushed more than usual. You could lose your temper easily, as you are high-energy right now. Others pitch in to try to take some of the pressure off of you. Be gracious and say yes. Tonight: Do something you love.
★★★ You might not be as easygoing
GEMINI (Mav 21-June 20)
as usual. In fact, early in the day you could be seeing red, like a true Bull. One way to calm down is to do something physical. Take a walk by yourself and chill out. Tonight: The later it gets, the better.
**** You might not be aware of the impact your words have on others. You might have a sharp edge, as you have been suppressing frustration or anger. Use your humor to lighten up. Tonight: Try to get in early.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Someone pushes you beyond your limits, and you might let this person know it. Use care with spending, as tempting a purchase might be. Someone might not have all the facts. Do your own research. Tonight: Run errands first.
LEO (Julv 23-Aug. 22)
★★★★ Someone chooses to take you on. You might be challenged directly by a boss or superior, or someone you care about. Don't get upset. Simply discuss the issues. You find that often many opinions are helpful. Tonight: Decide to get in early.
VIBGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
VIRIO (Aug. 23-September 6)
★★★ You might not be in the mood to run around. In fact, you might want to do less physically and more mentally, if possible. You have a unique ability to get the facts. Don't assume that you have the whole story. Tonight: The later it gets, the happier you will be.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ Use today to straighten out a potential misunderstanding involving another. The issue could involve your finances or a problem with taxes. By grabbing the bull by the horns, you'll succeed. Tonight: Try for an early bedtime.
★★★ Others look to you for leadership, but still might be quite critical about what you do. You might find this mixed message irritating. It let go. Use your sixth sense, which kicks in and points you in the right direction. Tonight: Once you hook up with a friend, the going gets wild.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**November (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)**
**** You give that extra push to complete a project. Someone might be put off by how assertive you are. Also,
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
don't take information as solid. Exag-
eration might be involved. Detach
and go on your own fact-finding
mission. Tonight: Watch a movie or hop on
the computer.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★ Someone else is running the show, whether you like it or not. You discover how much you dislike being in the back seat. Be positive about what is happening. Others will need your feedback soon enough. Tonight: Accept a very personal invitation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
***** Others have the cards in their hands, no matter where you go. You express upset to someone close, who just might not be in the mood to listen. Stay calm and detached, and remain confident. Everything will work out. Tonight: Socialize all you want.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Your words and actions come off a lot harsher than you realize. You could find an associate reacting quite strongly. It's best to focus on your work and security. Right now, clearing the air doesn't work. Tonight: Nap and then decide.

Editor's note
Last January, I spent two weeks working an internship with a magazine in Manhattan, New York. I stayed in a Midtown hotel with three journalism classmates and we ventured
out exploring every night for those two weeks. One rainy, Saturday night we were out bar-hopping and, with the average price for a beer at $6, my wallet was starting to look too empty for
me. I told her I did. "You will have a bright and wonderful future together," she told me. I smiled. "You're a good person," she said. I smiled again. "Come into my room," she said pointing her hand

comfort. So when I spotted a sign that read "ATM Only $1.50 Charge!" I made straight for the building. The cash machine was nestled in a foyer of an old building. Just as I was taking my check card out of my wallet I heard an old woman's voice. "Excuse me?" she said. I spun around to find a little woman cloaked in a hooded poncho. "I must see your hand," she told me. I was taken aback and for some reason I agreed. She looked at my palm. "You have a boyfriend," she told
in the direction of a tent with red sheets. "Only $30 for me to read your palm," she said. "No thanks," I said, realizing that the entire conversation had probably been a ploy for money. Whether or not the woman had
some connection with the stars and knew my future or if she was just trying to make a buck, I don't know. Perhaps James Foley's article will inspire you to explore the world of palm reading. (See Page 18). I guess I tend to lean to the skeptical when it comes to palm reading. But who knows? Maybe the woman inside the ATM foyer knew something I didn't — Ben and I are still together.

Taking it slow
How taking time to taste might be all the diet you need
By Kelsie Smith, Jayplay Writer
know when it started. I was in elementary school, not even 6 years old. Lunch came right before recess, and if I wanted to secure my spot on the soccer team, I needed to hit the playground early.
My mom was quick to notice my 20-minute lunch habits affecting my meals at home. She looked at me with alarm as I shoveled Dad's homemade meatloaf from plate to mouth, hardly taking time to breathe.
"Kelsie Lee," Mom said to me, her eyes wide as she watched my unsavory and unsettling cafeteria-style eating. Looking back, I'm not sure if she was scolding me or was just plain worried I was going to choke.
Nutritionist Ann Litt, author of College Students Guide to Eating Well on Campus, says my habits were normal, that in today's society speed eating is a way of life.
"Many meals are eaten on the run. People are always in a rush. Families do not sit down and dine. They are running out to meetings, practices, etc." Litt says. "There is little modeling done for slow eating."
Slow down, you're chewing too fast You've heard the story - it takes your stomach 20 minutes to let your brain know it's full. Doesn't seem like a big window, but you'd be surprised how 6 Jayplay 09.29.05
many Kristy Kremes you can consume in such a narrow time frame.
"Twenty minutes later when it reaches your brain you will be stuffed," Litt says. "If you can eat slower, you will eat a more reasonable amount, enjoy the taste of the food you are eating and less prone to digestive disturbances caused by eating too quickly."
The idea is simple. If you eat slower, your brain has plenty of time to get the "Hey, I'm full" message before you are forced to unbutton your jeans on the way home from the restaurant. So that means you eat less, thus consuming fewer calories.
But that isn't the only plus - for those who suffer from acid reflux, taking your time at dinner can ease your pain. In an August 2004 study by doctors at the Medical University of South Carolina, 20 volunteers ate the same meals on two different days, but dined in five minutes one day, while taking 30 the next. The instance of reflux increased from 14 after the five-minute meal to 10 after the longer one.
But I just can't help myself!
If you just can't make yourself slow down at the dinner table, in the car or at the Underground, there is another option. But be warned, this seems slightly extreme, like $500 extreme. It's called the DDS System, and, essentially, it's a retainer. Yep, the bane of your fifth-
The "discreet oral insert" as the company calls it, is designed to be worn only during meals. Formed to fit your mouth, the DDS System actually makes your mouth smaller, forcing you to eat slower, and, ideally, less. Litt hasn't heard of the DDS System but says it sounds "ridiculous."
grade existence, back to haunt you in your adult years.
Damn those skinny French women
Really, there has to be another option. Mireille Guiliano, author of the best-selling book French Women Don't Get Fat, says eating slowly can change your life, and your waistline. It did, after all, work for her.
Born and raised in France, Guiliano was left disheartened after a stint in America as a foreign exchange student
left her with 20 extra pounds. Back in France, she visited her family physician in a desperate attempt to shed her Yankee bulge. The doctor helped appreciate "hereditary French gastronomic wisdom." Which, among other things, means simply, French chicks eat slower.
His advice worked and, years later, Guiliano decided to write about it in an attempt to rescue
lation to food and life."
Curb speed eating
A new attitude
So maybe eating slowly teaches a bigger lesson in life. Next time you sit
- Try not to eat standing up. Sitting down will keep you more relaxed, and, hopefully, slow your normal eat-and-run habits.
Guiliano's instructions come in four phases: "wake-up call," taking inventory of what you are eating so you begin to realize what you are putting in your mouth; "recasting," where you learn French-sized portions and "diversity of nourishment" as Guiliano writes; stabilization, where you reintroduce your favorite foods in (gasp!) moderation; and, finally, the rest of your life, where you've learned what your body needs, what you should eat and how much you should eat of it. Guiliano's point in this fourth phase is that, now, you should know your body enough to make necessary adjustments down the road.
- Never eat anything directly out of the package, especially while sitting in front of the television. This lends to mindlessness. Your hand keeps going for more Doritos and soon you look down and realize you've demolished half the bag in one sitting.
- Chew and swallow each bite before taking the next.

After attending four colleges (KU being one of them) Ryan Dolan took a chance. Originally from Kansas City, Mo., Dolan decided to do what many only dream of. He dropped everything, moved to the big city (Chicago) and is trying to make it big in the world of improvisational comedy. He has been a part of many different improv groups including a guest act at Chicago's infamous Saturday Night Live breeding ground, Second City. Currently working in Boston with Improv Asylum, he and his partner Tony Amatuzio, are bringing their improv show, "Powder Blue Unis," to Kansas City. Dolan gives Jayplay his opinions on why Lawrence needs an improv theater, advice for future improv artists and his take on why the Royals suck.
Q. Why and how did you decide to go ahead and go for it and move to Chicago?
A. KU was fourth college I had attended (Georgetown, Johnson County Community College and Washburn). Except for Washburn, I really struggled in the classroom. After dropping out of KU at the age of 26, I figured maybe I should stop kidding myself and go to Chicago and study improv. I had taken an online writing course through Second City and had gotten good
Q. How did you start out as a newbie in the improv field in a big market such as Chicago?
feedback from my teacher. I had seen shows at Second City and improv Olympic, and loved it. At I.O. (improv Olympic). I saw a hilarious show at 10:30pm on a Tuesday, which was packed. I thought that was where I needed to be. I was actually so bad at improv in Topeka, I told everyone I was moving to study sketch writing; lest they think I was crazy.
A. Chicago is the best place on Earth to learn improvisation. It's affordable.It's a one hour, $100 round trip ticket from KC. People are friendly, and it's easier to support yourself as opposed to New York. It has three great improv schools: Annoyance, I.O. and The Second City.The best thing you can do to meet people is to either intern at I.O, or work at Second City in some capacity.I got a job in the box office and I learned a lot about the business aspect of comedy and theatre.
Jayplay 09.29.05
Q. What is the funniest (to you) topic someone has shouted out to you during a performance?
A. In Chicago, I never did shows that garnered a lot of suggestions.Here at Improv
Asylum in Boston, we get a lot of suggestions over the course of a show. A lot of people think they're being funny, when they yell out crap like "proctologist" or porn-related things but we hear them so often, it's not funny. Sometimes, we will pull people up to tell us about their day or a bad date, and the "funniest" people just tell the truth. Life is funny enough on its own. And honestly, comedians are the filthiest people on Earth. If you want to see a scene about a dildo, we'll do one so awful it will make you sorry you're alive, but in a good way.
Q. What is a time that you were on stage and had a performance where you felt like you nailed it?
A. The first time I played during the Second City, we got a suggestion for a scene of "Underwater Apartment" or something. Seven of us went out, and everyone made a comment about the great underwater view. I was last, and I commented, "the fish tank is kind of redundant." You had to be there but there was this pause, and then the audience of 180 people blew up. That was a pretty awesome feeling. I went to the side of the stage with a stupid grin on my face and started shaking. I blame it on hypothermia.
Q. You have traveled all over performing, what has been your favorite place and why?
Q. Compare American audience suggestions to audiences overseas?
A. Being able to play for three weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival was pretty awesome though. I went with this show from Chicago called "Chairs." We had good crowds, covered some expenses, fought a lot and I'll never forget it. After our show one night, the girls in the cast went out and the guys from our show went to a bar to drink. A couple of hours into it, Andrew Moskos, from Boom Chicago walked in (Boom Chicago is a comedy theatre in Amsterdam, where a lot of actors and writers at MadTV and SNL have performed). He was with Boom Chicago alum, Seth Meyers, who is on SNL. We drank with them all night. Later the girls came running in and they had these oomp-loompa outfits on from this show they had been to and they were covered in paint. My friend runs in laughing and then realizes that she's staring at Meyers and Moskos and she looks like a Smurf on acid. That was my favorite night there.
A. American audiences are more improv savvy, so they laugh at what they think is funny. In Edinburgh, improv isn't well known so half of the time they were just trying to absorb the fact that we were making it up on the spot and did not pre-plan anything.
Q. How do you calm down or get pumped up before a big show?
8
A. it doesn't take much to pump myself up. I bring a lot of energy to my work. If I didn't like what I did, I would get my degree
and go into a field that actually had job security. This may sound stupid, but Kelly Clarkson songs will have me bouncing off the walls in about 0.3 seconds. I calm down by drinking beer and occasionally making out with a woman who is stupid enough to want to kiss me. I don't recommend that to anyone, but that's what I do.
Q. Why do you like/dislike performing with your partner for this performance, Tony Amatuzio?
A. Tony is this short Italian guy from Delaware, who pretends he's from "Philly." We're doing a show in KC because we're in town to eat and party with my friends at the American Royal BBQ and watch the Chiefs/Eagles football game at Arrowhead. He's an Eagles fan. I'm not sure what I like about him. I'm starting to regret doing this show.
Q. Explain the title of your current show?
A. The Kansas City Royals suck. Back when they were good, they used to wear powder blue uniforms. I have named the show "Powder Blue Uni's" in protest of Allard Baird and David Glass for ruining the Royals organization. I'm pretty sure they're going to resign after it and sell me the team for a penny and some Junior Mints. It's improv. I have no idea what the show is going to be about. I could have named it "Crimson Girls Forever" and it would make no difference. I do actually have a show idea called "Kirk Hinrich," but I won't bore you with the details.
Q. What can people expect from this show?
venue
A. We'll ask for a simple suggestion up top like a word or a household object. Tony and I will use that suggestion to inspire a 30-40 minute longform piece. We'll do several different scenes as different characters and try to tie them together or at least revisit them through out the show. Nothing is pre-planned. We do not plot out the scenes or pre-plan the characters. The great
A. One of the reasons I'm doing the show is that I wanted to connect with the Kansas City improv scene. There are a lot of people from Kansas in Chicago doing not only improv but also theatre. There is no reason why we can't take what we've learned in Chicago and bring it back to KC through shows, workshops or even starting an improv theatre. City 3 Improv is
Q. Why come back to Kansas City?
helping me produce this show and they and a few other groups are re-launching a Kansas City improv festival. There used to be a very popular one a few years ago. The fact that City 3 can rent out the Westport Coffee House for me on a Saturday night two weeks before the show speaks about how much room for growth there is for a KC/Lawrence theatre scene. Events like the new KC Fringe festival will only help build a dynamic theatre/improv community. Theatre is more than another Shaw production at the Missouri Rep or a touring production of "Cats." Those productions are fine but it could be so much more.
thing about improv is that it's all made up on stage. It will be the funniest thing to see in Kansas City and Lawrence on October 1st. If it isn't, I'm blaming Allard Baird.
Q. Where should KU theatre grads and people interested in improv go once they graduate?
A. First off, just because I'm a drop out, doesn't mean I advocate it. It's much easier to get a job to support your passion for theatre or music or art, if you have degree. Chicago is widely regarded as best theatre town in the country - greater than New York. This is because the wealth of talent and it's real' to form a theatre company and new work. It's definitely the most theatre scene in the country. E wants to go to New York or L.A. so it." Those cities just chew you up you out. Chicago allows you to go an artist and as an individual. It allows you to develop your chops. also make you a bad ass, if you want move back to KC to start your own the company. After a few years, you'll act

ly know what you're doing from an artistic and business standpoint.
Q. Who inspires you?
A. The people that inspire me are the people I have seen perform in Chicago. John Lutz, who writes for SNL, taught me at Improv Olympic. Dan Bakkedahl, performed at I.O. and Second City, and is the newest correspondent on The Daily Show. There are so many talented people in Chicago that it's disgusting. They could replace the cast of
SNL, 20 times over with people from Chicago and it you wouldn't know the difference and they should probably do that.
Q. Who is that someone famous you aspire to be like or meet?
A. Bill Murray and Steve Martin. They are intelligent, good actors, understated and go a mile just by raising an eyebrow. Martin's a great writer. Pretty much 90% of all improvisers would love to have Bill Murray's career. He may not know it, but he's the unspoken icon in our field.

Lawrence's ever-growing local hip-hop
scene
By Rory Flynn, Jayplay writer
As the needle hits the record and the
bass line drops, the emcee clinches the mic with a tight fist. A drop of sweat drips off the brow of the lyrical mastermind and hits the stage floor. As the beat kicks in, the crowd starts bobbing their heads to the percussion jumping out of the speakers. With the stage presence of a messianic prophet, all eyes are on the emcee. Rhythmically he drops rhymes,

With the crowd of fellow hip-hop heads, you exit the show being force-fed flyers of all sizes and colors, and you wonder if that show can possibly be topped.

That's right, Lawrence, Kan.: a recognized Midwestern Mecca for local hip hop artists.
Lawrence has hosted many of hip-hop's pioneer acts, such as KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and De La Soul. By selling out these shows, Lawrence shows its support of famous hip-hop acts, but the local hip-hop scene has gained national, and even global, rec
ognition, as well.
Edwin Morales, local promoter and owner of Downplay Productions, says that the Lawrence community has shown great support of the hip-hip shows he has promoted. He has promoted shows in Lawrence since 1999 and started a weekly Friday night hip-hop event called Project Groove in 2001. "Lawrence is always looking for a fresh sound
that many local hip-hop acts have been able to provide," Morales says.
Lawrence has local, independent record labels that are helping propel the progression of its hip-hop culture as well. Sean Hunt, owner of the Lawrence-based hip-hop label Datura Records, explains the mark Lawrence is making on the national scene.

The Kansas City/Lawrence hip-hip group Deep Thinkers, also on Datura Records, is soon to reach recognition from the Eastern hemisphere. As a Japanese hip-hop label contacted Datura to release the

Another turning point in the popularity of Lawrence's hip-hop scene has been the start of the Web forum Lawrencehiphop.com. The site was started in 2001 to post shows and promote local artists. Today, it is one of the most popular tools for hip-hop fans in Lawrence and the Midwest to find out about upcoming shows or post comments on recent releases.

"Lawrence has always had great desire and artistic drive for hip-hop. The Web site just gave these artists a way to share their talents. It has now created a ripple-effect as more and more artists in Lawrence are being inspired," Giessel says. Giessel, now pursuing a Ph.D in Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School in Boston, says the evergrowing hip-hop scene in Lawrence competes with many east cost cities such as Boston.

QA AND with Conne
THE MAN WHO LIVES
Though formed only four years ago, Conner have already established themselves as one of Lawrence's best local bands, evidenced by their raucous 2002 debut, The White Cube, and this year's follow-up, the sublime Hello Graphic Missile. With a national release date for the new album scheduled for October and a tour tentatively planned shortly thereafter, Conner's mix of dance-rock rhythms and guitar heroics could (and should) soon earn them the label of "Next Big Thing." Only a month removed from an opening slot on the tour of new-wave revivalists the Killers, Conner front man and 2005 KU grad James Duft sat down to talk about the benefits of touring with superstars and why drinking before a show isn't always a good idea.
WITH CONN
Q: You guys recently opened a few shows for the Killers. What was it like to be part of a large tour?
A: We were nervous and freaked out at first to be playing in front of 5,000 people every night, but we adapted to it. The best part was we got these tour passes that gave us unrestricted access to everything. Also, they gave us a lot of free alcohol.
Q: How did the crowds respond to your music?
A: We got a great response every night. We sold all the merchandise we brought with us, like 600 CDs. We sold more in three days on that tour than we had in the four months before.
Q: So there wasn't any hostility at all, even though you were opening and playing for people who had never heard Conner before?
A: Well, at one of the shows this guy yelled, "You suck!" but some smart-ass always does. The cool thing was that, like, five or six guys around him started punching and kicking him after he said it, which made me feel good.
ALEXANDER LOUGHBURY
Q: Did you learn any lessons from the tour?
A: Yeah, don't drink before you play! When you're playing a big venue like a theater, the people in the back can't actually see that you're drunk so they just think you can't sing or play.
Q: Do you consider Conner a “new-new wave” band, like the Killers?
A: No, not at all. Lazy journalists have tried to pigeonhole us as one, but that's not our sound. We're like 70s-disco rock mixed with post-punk. I mean, yeah, we listen to the Smiths and the Cure, but we also listen to the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
Q: You just put out your second record, Hello Graphic Missile. How's it different from Conner's debut, The White Cube?
A: We smoked a lot more pot in the studio, so it's slower. We tried to make a full record, one that flows together front to back, each song complementing the others.
ALEXANDER

Q: You're not hesitant to confront people in the audience when you're onstage. Why is that?
A: Because we've played a few shows where people were just standing around talking. I just try to let people know we're onstage playing. It's like, if you're not into it, leave. Go. If you are into it, smile and have fun – it's just a little rock 'n' roll. Shows are always more fun when you're involved.
Q: What's the nerdiest thing Conner has done together as a band?
- Dave Ruigh
A: We're just music dorks. The Simpons, Seinfeld and Spinal Tap dominate all our vocabularies. We even stole Spinal Tap's band motto: "Have a good time, all the time."

Cannabis Leaf
By James Foley, Jayplay writer
Ryan Bonacker smiles sheepishly as he takes a hit from t Exhaling a cloud of smoke, a slight droopiness accents the shu hue of his eyes. He is stoned. I ask him why he smokes bud pauses for a few seconds before taking another hit. He says never really thought about it before. He enjoys it. Simply p juana just makes some things better. Music is one of them ing my questions about his smoking habits, Bonacker, a La resident, digresses, recalling a recent night of eating brown smoking a bowl.
"I was lying on the floor, looking at the ceiling, listening to pol when it hit me," he says, talking about the moment the erful combo took its effect. The swooping bass lines of the transported him to places he'd never been. The music, the drugs, entrusted him. His mind wandered away, exploring less subtleties of his pleasant apartment before returning amanding his body into a deep, refreshing sleep.
This is marijuana at its finest.

There are numerous varieties of pot grown around the world. U.S. markets are exposed primarily to grass grown in Canada, Mexico and even right here in our own backyard. So far, in 2005, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation has "processed" more than two tons of marijuana.
With weed so widely available all over the country, it's no surprise that more than 72 million Americans — roughly a third of the U.S. population have been high at least once in their lives. The same is true at the University of Kansas, where plenty of students get high regularly. An informal survey of a Western Civilization class revealed 20 percent of the 150 students queried smoke marijuana on a regular basis. But there are consequences, both legal and physical, which probably keep this country from going up in smoke like Jamaica on April 20.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the U.S. Last year, in Douglas County alone, law enforcement agents seized 211 high-grade
plants from indoor growers. Fifty of these plants can produce 2.5 pounds of high-grade bud every six weeks. Just an ounce of this high caliber stuff can be worth $1,200.
Old school herbage
Lawrence once had a reputation for having a lot of ditchweed, a very lowgrade of marijuana that gives smokers little more than a headache. The soils and climate in the Midwest allow ample marijuana growth. It isn't called ditchweed for grins: marijuana is essentially a weed. It grows everywhere, especially in ditches. According to Bill, a Lawrence resident of more than 30 years, the ditchweed harvested here in the '70s was shipped across the country, deceptively being passed off as higher quality Mexican grass.
Despite the ease with which cannabis grows in the area, the number of attempts at outdoor cultivation is steadily decreasing because law enforcement officials are good at catching people.
The Law vs. Mary Jans Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, boasts of the KBI's skill at spotting outdoor marijuana cultivation. Surveying the land from helicopters, the KBI is able to effectively spot any significant, concentrated marijuana growth. Agents know where to look — mainly along fences and railings — to find camouflaged cultivation areas. Last year, the KBI seized a 900-plant crop in a single bust. This type of marijuana, commonly referred to as schwag because of its low quality and cheap high, is what comes from the majority of the plants cultivated outdoors.
Pot-savvy green thumbs have moved their operations indoors where there is a more controlled environment. Indoor cultivation allows the grower to prevent nature from interfering with the quality of the plant. An expertly tended plant can produce very potent marijuana known as sensemilla. This high quality form of marijuana is also known as kind bud (KB) or nugget.
The marijuana that is not grown in state is trafficked in. Smith says much of it comes from Mexico.Either way, it all eventually trickles down to individual buyers.A typical end-market transaction is for one person to buy an eighth of an ounce of high-grade kind bud for $50. Usually,an entire ounce will cost $350, meaning the seller who takes the risk of buying the ounce can smoke for free by selling seven friends an eighth ounce bag.
Smith says detecting indoor growers is a difficult task, and police rely on informants and good Samaritans, such as nosy landlords, to tip off home growers. Home growers have become increasingly skilled at their trade, too, with the average THC content in sensemilla leaping from 3.2 percent in 1977 to 13.34 percent in 2004.
Needless to say, there's a lot of money in the marijuna biz. There are also a lot of KU students ready to support the cause.

Smokin'a jay
As Rory Smith walks down bustling Jayhawk Boulevard, he basks in the warm afternoon air. The slight breeze feels good against his skin. He is relaxed. Calm. Enjoying the beautiful day as he makes his way toward his next class. He is on cloud nine. His stomach grumbles quietly. The joint he just smoked did its job. He is high.
And he is not alone.
The same 20 percent of people in the surveyed Western Civilization class also claim to have been high on campus at least once.
Smith, Olathe junior, regularly gets high. He admits to smoking pot four or five days a week, sometimes on campus before class. Only 20 years old now, he's smoked weed for nearly six years. He only gets high during the daytime occasionally, preferring to save it until night, after he's ready to settle down.
Smith says getting weed is rarely a problem. "Everybody smokes," he says, and getting a bag of grass here is just as easy as any other place he's lived. If you know the right people, an hour or two is all it takes to put something together.
How often, and with how many people Smith smokes determines how often he buys. He prefers good KB over schwag. Schwag is less expensive than KB because it's easier to grow and not as potent. But veteran smokers like Smith want the good stuff. He says he hasn't bought a bag of schag since he was in high school.
Know the rules
Despite the relative ease of buying marijuana, it is still illegal to possess. Currently in Kansas a first time offense is classified as a misdemeanor and can earn you up to a $2,500 fine or a year in jail. A second possession offense is a low-level felony and can land you a pricier fine or almost two years in jail. Cultivating five or more plants will get you a full-fledged felony and up to 17 years in prison.
Often, people will get busted for a rmore serious crime, like a DUI, and then get nailed with a secondary marijuana offense, too. Sgt. Dan Ward, spokesman for the Lawrence Police Department, says in his experience, the majority of cases he sees are drug or alcohol related.
In 2004, there were 139 marijuana related cases in Douglas County. The harsh penalties are rarely fully enforced. The typical punishment in Douglas County for a single pot offense is a $117 docket fee and $100 diversion fee.
While officers are obligated to take action if they encounter even a small amount of marijuana while on the job, busting individual users for marijuana possession is not a primary goal of the LPD or the KBI. "The goal of the KBI is to limit growth and distribution," Deputy Smith says. It's not cost effective to
try and arrest individual users. The KBI also doesn't worry about small-level transactions and city-level distribution. That's left up to the city's law enforcement.
In Lawrence, lawmakers are debating the idea of making the possession of small amounts of marijuana a low priority for the LPD. Under the new proposal, getting busted for pot would be much like getting a speeding ticket. The offenders would be issued a citation, appear in municipal court (rather than district court) and perhaps fined, much like the streamlined process of receiving a traffic violation.
both tobacco and marijuana. Though scientific data is not available, a common estimate is that one joint poses the same health risks as four cigarettes.
James Grobe, assistant professor of psychology, teaches a class called Drugs and Behavior. He says there are unique risks associated with smoking marijuana. But he says there are also unique benefits, which make the little green plant quite the paradox. For instance, sufferers of bronchitis report that smoking pot loosens up their airways for a short while, allowing them to breathe easier. Ironically, the toxins released into the body from smoking the
curate. Some people show more signs of addiction to marijuana than others, Grobe says.
"Everybody smokes,"
—Rory Smith, Olathe junior
Smoking abroad
Other college towns across the country are adopting similar policies. Columbia, Mo., just enacted a law similar to the proposed Lawrence ordinance. The two largest pot-per-capita cities, Boulder, Colo., and Boston, also have liberal laws regarding possession of small quantities of grass.
While the laws regarding possession are slowly loosening, the world has a long way to go before pot can be officially legalized. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is illegal in the Netherlands. They just happen to have a non-enforcement policy. De facto legalization, yes, but it's still technically against the law. If the Netherlands were to legalize, it would jeopardize international relations with countries that have a ban on marijuana, such as the United States.
Depending on where you stand on the issue, Lawrence may or may not have a marijuana "problem." But the health risks surrounding marijuana are a cause for concern. Any time you smoke a plant, you're going to inhale a certain amount of nasty carcinogens. Obviously, heavy smokers are at the greatest risk for developing health problems. Lung problems, pulmonary problems and bronchitis are just some of the hazards related to heavy smoking. These risks are prevalent in smoking
Dude, where's my lung?
plant are what cause bronchitis in the first place.
A study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation found that the THC in marijuana causes a moderate degree of driving impairment, but is far less of a danger than driving under the influence of many prescription medicines or alcohol. Drivers under the influence of marijuana retain insight of their driving performance, compared with drivers under the influence of alcohol, who do not. The study concluded that "THC's adverse effects on driving performance appear relatively small."
According to Grobe, some studies show that smoking marijuana actually increases productivity when performing monotonous tasks. This might explain why so many people who work at restaurants are stoned all the time.
Justin, a Lawrence resident, has smoked in the past, but generally avoids it now. He says getting high used to make him feel relaxed and a little goofy, but eventually he stopped having a good time when he smoked. The more he smoked, the less he liked the effects. It made him feel anxious, like he always needed to do something. It also caused the level of his conversations with people to decline. He says he would strike up interesting conversations that digressed into distracted rants and incomplete thoughts. "I got tired of acting stupid," he says.
Another bizarre property of marijuana is that in some cases, a person who is vulnerable to certain disorders may be pushed over the edge if they use marijuana. A person prone to anxiety may trigger an episode by smoking. Grobe says that people who are highly anxious about smoking weed probably shouldn't.
The effects of marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), are different for everybody. It chills some people out; energizes others; some report tension, paranoia or apathy. Grobe says because marijuana affects every person differently, overtly labeling it as addictive would not be ac-
Meanwhile, Bonacker says the first few times he smoked herb he also felt really anxious and panicky. Though now, he doesn't get those feelings.
Share the love
The social aspect surrounding marijuana use is perhaps one of its greatest benefits. Smith says he rarely smokes alone. He usually lights up with two to four people. The communal activity of sharing a pipe is very satisfying and it's a good way to chill out, he says. Bonnacker says he has a good mix of friends who do and don't smoke pot. He says whether or not he smokes depends on his mood. He says pot has a tendency to make him introspective and asocial.
People have been using psychoactive substances since the dawn of civilization. Grobe says problems from heavy drug use, whether it's binge drinking or marijuana use, are everywhere in the country. The real problem, he says, is not that people are doing it, but how to get help to people who need it. Heavy, prolonged marijuana use can cause cognitive impairment, but it's unclear whether it persists once someone quits. He says that punishing a person for using marijuana is not an effective behavioral control device. He says the best way to keep people from developing drug problems is a rich environment with lots of activities other than using drugs.
Bill, who spent almost a year in prison for growing marijuana, says herb has had a very positive effect on his life, despite his time in the pen.
Growing (up)
He says youth is a time to experiment and do drugs and go a little crazy, because when you're older you'll want to focus on other things.
"You get older. You have kids. You don't have time to be dicking around with it. You grow past the age where drug consumption makes any sense," he says.
Though he doesn't smoke anymore, Bill says he has no regrets about smoking pot.
Bill says Lawrence was a fantastic place to be in the early 70s; marijuana made his young life a lot more fun.
"This town rocked," he says, "and drugs were at the center of it."

Male birth control Too hard to swallow?

By Katie Moyer, Jayplay writer You lie exhausted next to your partner, smiling contentedly after the night's sexual endeavors. Suddenly, your heart skips a beat. You are panic-stricken and gasping for breath as you think, "Holy shit, I forgot to take my pill!" Your partner notices your exasperation and he asks what's wrong. When you reply, he only smiles reassuringly and says, "Don't worry, babe, I took my pill."
As part of the NIH contract, about 500,000 compounds will be tested on enzymes that play a key role in either sperm development or sperm motility. The University's research facilities hous- Continued on page 16
Although it sounds too good to be true, shared oral birth-control responsibilities are an imminent possibility. The University of Kansas and the University of Kansas Medical Center recently won a nearly $8 million, five-year contract with the National Institutes of Health to research chemical compounds to develop into effective male oral contraceptives. The results of this research may soon provide men with a weekly or monthly pill that temporarily switches off their fertility, giving them a safe means to play a more active role in birth control.

es a technology called High Throughput Screening (HTS), which is able to screen
thousands of compounds at a time. HTS is one of the reasons the University was able to win such a prestigious contract.
The University and the KU Medical Center are the only institutions in the United States involved in the NIH contract. However, Gunda Georg, lead researcher, says her team might collaborate with other institutions that are doing similar research to speed up the process. Georg is also the director for the Center for Drug Discovery at the Higuchi Biosciences Center and professor of medicinal chemistry. Other primary members of the research team include Qi-Zhuang Ye, research professor at
the Higuchi Biosciences Center; Joseph Tash, associate professor of molecular and integrative physiology; and Ernst Schonbrunn, assistant professor of medicinal chemistry.
According to Schonbrunn, KU researchers are determined to achieve at least the 95 to 99 percent effectiveness that women now have when taking the pill. The biggest difference between the female pill and the one being developed for men, he says, is that the female pill is hormonal and the male pill would be non-hormonal. The main advantage of this approach is that by leaving men's hormones alone, the pill will have fewer side effects.
- The typical U.S. woman wants only two children.To achieve this, she must use contraceptives roughly three decades of her life.
After its five-year contract is complete, the University will give NIH a list of the compounds that have proved effective in temporarily sterilizing mice and rats, Schonbrunn says. The NIH will then begin clinical studies.
- The female birth control pill accounts for 31 percent of contraception use in the United States; Condoms account for only 18 percent.

How we met
Friends: Grant & Chris
PURDUE
You wouldn't think you'd find many friends out in the wilderness. But that's not the case for Grant Zehner, Overland Park senior and Chris Rogge, Kansas City senior. Zehner was mountain biking at the Spillway in Manhattan. He wrecked his bike and bent his wheel in half. As Zehner was walking his bike back to the car, Rogge saw him and they started talking. They began to hang out and became friends. After their sophomore years, they both decided to transfer from K-State to KU.
Zehner is going to be Rogge's best man in his wedding next year.

My girlfriend and I used to have sex every day, but it's been two weeks and every time I try she isn't in the mood. Now she wants to take a break and date other guys. Is she leaving me because my lovin' isn't satisfactory?
Jessica: She's not leaving you because of your crappy love-making skills. She's leaving you because you have no idea how to love her. Most girls will attest that although sex is a major component in a relationship, the emotional connection far outweighs the bedroom business. If she's just not feeling the chemistry, the lack of sex is a moot point. You need to learn how she wants to be loved, not how she wants the pipe laid. The sex will come when you learn to care for her in the way she wants to be cared for. For future reference, no matter who you end up with, make sure you're more concerned with her and not how you measure up in the sack. Jerk.
- Garrett, Sophomore
Brian: Ahh. Already feeling like you're married and the sex is slowly dying off? Girls are much more emotionally driven than guys are, meaning that she probably isn't leaving you because you don't make her orgasm. Look back and think of all the times she has needed you at her side recently. Have you been there to help her? She wants to go out and date other people because she knows you two connect sexually but wants to see if someone else is more in touch with her emotional needs. If you want to keep her, make that extra effort. Be willing to give up friend time for time with her. Find out her deepest desires and make them come true even something as simple as cooking her dinner after a long day. It will all go a long way towards helping you get more action in the bedroom.

My boyfriend goes to the strip clubs with his friends a few times a month, and every time he comes home wanting sex. This feels so wrong since he's just been looking at other women. What should I be doing?
-Ellie, Junior
Brian: Sometimes boys will be boys. This includes acting without regard for how it will affect someone else. If he doesn't know you have a problem with this, then he is doing no wrong. You'll need to confront him about how you
Jessica: If it feels wrong, don't do it and tell him why you're not doing it. Maybe that'll change his mind about going to strip clubs in the first place when he realizes he has his very own free and private peep show to go home to. For your sake, I sincerely hope he figures that out before you find a man who knows you're the only stripper he wants in his life.
don't feel at ease with him lusting after you when he comes home. A refusal to budge at all by him will show that your relationship is destined to crash and burn anyway. His desire to conform to your needs will show that he isn't going to the strip clubs to get turned on but to spend time with his friends. As much as you need your time with your girls, he needs his time with his guys. By giving him time to be with his buds other than this monthly ritual, it will minimize the frequency of him going to the clubs. If all else fails, starting practicing your stripper routine and look into buying a pole for your house.

My girlfriend and I have been dating for eight months. My family is from out-of-state and when my parents visited last weekend, she didn't want to meet them. What's going on here? - Jim, Senior
Jessica: Either she's on a different wavelength in terms of the relationship's commitment or she suffers from a parental phobia. Explain to her that you wish she could've been there to meet them and then ask her if there was anything preventing her from doing so. Hopefully, it's just a minor fear of parental acceptance, but if you're still questioning her level of commitment you should talk with her about where you both stand. Good luck!
Brian: You might have a case of a very caring girlfriend on your hands. If you have been expressing how overly excited you are that your parents are coming up, she might have been trying to give you space for some quality family time. On the other hand, you might have a case of a relationship that isn't quite where you thought it was. Meeting parents is almost as big of a deal as Ron Burgundy and she just might not feel like your relationship is yet at the meeting parents stage. This shouldn't qualify as a reason to break up, but it gives you a better insight into her mind. The biggest mistake you could make right now is to assume anything. Talk to her and find out exactly what the deal is. Don't push the issue too heavily, but make sure she knows how you feel about this.

People with this line benefit if they have some sort of creative outset, because they can then channel their emotions into their creativity. People who do this often produce works of an extremely high standard.

By James Foley, Jayplay writer
Maybe it's the glazed and detached look in my eyes, or my scraggly 5 o'clock shadow from three days ago that tips her off, butTina Lee is right on the money. I am stressed and exhausted, and she can tell. But the funny thing is when she notices this, she isn't paying any attention to my face—she's looking at my hand.
Sitting in wicker chairs inside a private room, Lee speaks to me calmly, thoughtfully choosing her words. Her dark brown eyes blink and move rapidly, as if focusing on everything and nothing. Her concentration is steadfast, unbroken by the murmur of the news program on the television in a nearby room. She asks what is troubling me. Unsure of how to respond, my eyes begin to wander around the room as I try to work out the answer for myself.
The rest of our encounter goes the same way, with her making bold statements and me, palm outstretched, searching my mind for an answer to what all these thoughts mean. Fortune telling works this way. She doesn't have answers for what I'm supposed to do; she can only bring certain issues to my attention. My palm is the map to my life, and she understands how to read it. In the world of soothsaying, you can find a map to your life anywhere, whether it's in the palm of your hand, a deck of cards or the celestial bodies. All you
need to do is read it.
Lee runs the Lawrence Metaphysical Shop, 11 W. $^{9\text{th}}$ St., the bright purple neon storefront just off of Massachusetts Street. She offers a variety of services, from palm and tarot readings, to a full-fledged psychic reading. She says clairvoyance runs in her family—she's a fifth generation psychic—and credits much of her ability to her lineage and her connection to God.
When we begin our session, she asks to see my right hand. This distinction is important, she says, because the right hand channels all the positive energy. Reading the left hand would result in negative conclusions. Being positive is key to the entire experience. "As long as you're positive, you can make things happen," Lee says.
Essentially, she is a counselor. She helps people address their problems and work them out by focusing on the positive elements in life. She says more than 75 percent of her clients are students, most of which have their palms read for the friendly price of $15. What she says must be good advice, too, because many of her clients make regular visits every few weeks.
Look at your hand. The three most defined lines on the palm are the heart line, the life line and head line. An expert palmist is in tune to the subtle variations of these lines and how they interact with the less dominant lines, alerting
you to the troubles and fortunes that lie ahead. A correct interpretation of the lines can forecast the span or your life, your success in the future and the vitality of your love life.
It's in the stars
Some people, like Anna Bruursema, aren't comfortable with another person telling them what awaits them in the future. She'd rather figure it out for herself. Bruursema, Olathe senior, studies astrology and dream analysis to help her understand and interpret her life. On the telephone, she sounds lively and optimistic. She tells me about how her family ran a metaphysical school while she was growing up and how her parents introduced her to the world of astrology when she was a child. Because she was constantly exposed to metaphysical thought throughout her childhood, today she actively practices astrology. Bruursema says astrology is a more personal form of fortune telling. It's something you can do yourself, compared to palm reading which requires an expert reader to understand the meaning.
Astrology supposes that the positions of the celestial bodies influence one's destiny. The exact positions of the Sun, moon, planets and the Earth at the precise moment of birth can be plotted into birth chart. This information is unique to everyone. It is the hand one is dealt in
life. A correct interpretation of the birth chart can provide incredible keys to understanding, says Michael McClain, who has been practicing astrology for more than thirty years.
Bruursema says she usually doesn't look at her birth chart because she enjoys the surprises in life. She considers herself a lucky person, everything always worked out for the best. But about two years ago, she began going though a period where nothing seemed to go her way. Even simple tasks like making doctors appointments were frustratingly difficult. Distressed, she consulted her birth chart. Sure enough, it foretold that she would be going a rough period for about two years, but once it was over her life would completely turn around. About six months ago, things did turn around. "Now, I feel like a completely different person. I'm more understanding, less frustrated and more relaxed," she says.
She says that having a firm understanding of the past and present helps you understand what will happen in the future. It's all about awareness. She doesn't discredit palmistry or tarot reading, saying they're all variations of coming up with the same answers.
So, next time you need metaphysical advice a little more substantial than the horoscope in The Kansan, think about checking your palm or the stars. You might learn something.

✩ ★ ✩ 1/2
How do you pull a disappearing act at 40,000 feet? That's what Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster) wants to know in Flightplan, the second thriller to be set mostly inside an airplane in as many months (Wes Craven's Red Eye being the other). While Flightplan does create a real sense of paranoia as we watch Foster's character slowly unravel, the film's plot holes and third act ultimately drag down the rest.
As Kyle and her daughter are passengers aboard a new, mammoth airplane transporting the dead body of Kyle's husband, the daughter mysteriously disappears and we learn she was probably never even on the flight. What follows, for the first two-thirds of the movie, is watching Kyle slowly grow uneasy at the possibility that her daughter was never aboard the plane and is, in fact, dead. Meanwhile, she tries to convince the flight attendants, pilot (the ever-
graceful Sean Bean), and sympathetic air marshal (Peter Sarsgaard) that she's not crazy.
I was reminded of that Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner where he's a passenger on a plane and sees a monster ripping apart pieces of the wing whenever he looks out the window, only nobody believes him. The difference between that and Flight-plan is that we don't know if Kyle is crazy or not. The film suggests that she is. For instance, the opening scene is

her strolling on a Berlin street with the hallucination of her dead husband. The air marshal also raises a good point: if somebody is hiding her daughter on board a plane, what would anyone have to gain by kidnapping her? What makes Kyle so important?
Foster is impressive as her character goes a little more insane every second she can't find her daughter and does
a great job playing a protagonist we're not sure if we should be rooting for. And the always-great Peter Sarsgaard seems primed for leading-man status. Watch out for him in Sam Mendes' Jarhead during the upcoming holiday movie season. The set of this two-story plane with nooks, crannies and little rooms everywhere is impressive, and the hand-held camera work does a great job of creating
a sense of claustrophobia.
What brings Flightplan down are its plot holes and its final act. I cannot reveal them without giving away key plot details, but you could fly thorough them with a 747.

BANDAI
One Piece: Grand Battle Gamecube, PS2
The battle to become the Pirate King is a tough one. Good thing Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates are ready for battle.
☆ ☆
One Piece: Grand Battle's fighting style is run on simple mechanics. If you have every played Super Smash Brothers, then you should feel right at home. The fighting is funnier than anything else, so don't expect anything more than cutsie fights between opponents with some funny gags as well. The super moves are also fun to look at.
The Story Mode is lacking, to say the least. Even after beating the game with all of the Straw Hat Pirates, you don't get really any ending that gives you a sense of accomplishment. It's more of a "Is that it?" feeling.
While the fighting is decent (and I do like some games to use spectacular beat-down moves), there needs to be somewhat of a story behind it. This games just leaves you wanting more.

MUSIC
Corpse Bride Soundtrack
Danny Elfman
★★★
To begin with, there is no Corpse Bride without Danny Elfman. He writes the lyrics, sings the songs and composes the music. Nothing in this movie
works without the musical genius that is Elfman.
Except for the few of us who have been living under a rock for the last 15 years, we're all familiar with Mr. Elfman's illustrious composing resume. Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, the Batman franchise; the

guy has done everything. He's sort of my personal hero, so to say that I was excited to see a movie that he had such an imperative hand in making is a bit of an understatement.
Luckily, Elfman doesn't disappoint. The music perfectly matches director Tim Burton's visuals and ideas. Every harrowing picture Burton conjures is expertly coupled with a dark, moody tune. But soon, we see that Elfman's work is so much more than a background element.
As the movie progresses, the musical aspect becomes a character of its own. Burton has invested so much of this movie's feel and themes into Elfman's music. Victoria and Emily, after all, fall in love with the main character, Victor, because of how beautifully he plays the
piano.
So, what you have here is a tormented, shy protagonist, who doesn't have much screen dialogue to convince the
audience that he has depth, especially considering that the casting choice of Johnny Depp leaves no room for Victor to sing any songs of his own.
The only form of explication that the women in Victor's life, and consequently the audience, have to judge him by is
Elfman's music. Victor's piano playing had to be haunting and profound. It had to all at once persuade us to take stock in Victor. This would be an insurmountable task for a novice composer, but not for Elfman.
From the first note of the second track, "Victor's Piano Solo," the audience is enamored with Victor. His song injects an automatic, undeniable feeling of empathy for Victor - a must for any protagonist.
If you appreciate the form of musical expression that Elfman has so adeptly mastered, then please do yourself a favor and pick up The Corpse Bride soundtrack. You'd have to be dead to not like it.

Fall fashion preview
Fall officially arrived exactly one week ago and I thought it would be fitting to give a synopsis of what's on the runways of the most noted design-
ways or the most desirableers. Personally, fall is the best season in the fashion world; its colors are vibrant, its styles are classic and its wardrobe range is plentiful.
At the 2005 Fall Fashion Week in New York, designers showcased spectacular garments that mimicked those of the mid-20th century. The following is a rundown of the highlights. Diane von Furstenberg's collection features paisleys, circles, diamond shapes and ruffles turned plain-Jane skirts into couture bottoms. Oscar de la Renta is using heavy, geometric designs and gemstone colors in his ensembles. And Carolina Herrera is mixing sleek, A-line skirts with small jackets to create a sophisticated look. Another major motif in the collections of Fashion Week was the trench coat. Long and luxurious, the coats of Christian Dior

and Stella McCartney are facets in their respective styles. Stella is using a lot of natural fabrics in her trendy, tweed
coats and Dior's use of brown and black exudes his simplified fall collection. I also noticed an abundance of boots on the runways. Chic, fabulous boots of suede, leather and alligator graced the collections of Dior, de la Renta and McCartney.
The beauty of these three key items is that they are versatile. Whether you're dressing up for a date or hitting the bars, boots, coats and
skirts will help to solve your seasonal fashion woes. To put it in more simple terms, if you have a great coat, a pair of hot boots and some sleek skirts, you're ready for a stylish Autumn 2005.

Ozona
Gooldrush
☆☆☆☆
Treasure has been discovered, but the year is 2005 and the goods are from across the pond.
Goldrush hails from Oxford but is not
part of the dance-
part of the dance- rock, Brit-pop sensation. In fact, you would never know they are chaps from the U.K. by their sound on Ozona. One could call them country rock. But fear not, fellow haters of country music: these lads are heavily influenced by Neil Young, an American classic. Robin Bennett's
GOLDRUSH
GREEN AVE
Ozona has a reflective feel, evoking many of the thoughts and emotions that would be present while sitting on the California coast in the slanted, late
chalky voice sounds like that of Alex Greenwald from Phantom Planet, while the lyrics and laid-back feel call to mind songs like "Tequila Sunrise" and "Take It Easy" by the Eagles.
afternoon sunlight, or road-tripping across the South with hopes of getting there. "Wait for the Wheels," a catchy song with great potential for radio play, begins the journey with a crash of cymbals and guitar before moving into a free indie-rock song. "Let You Down" is the first slow song, filled with feelings of shame and regret. Next comes the highly-reflective "Each Moment in Time," in which the band perfectly describes the feelings of hunger for something better that many college kids feel.
The beat picks up again with "Come On Come On" as they warn that "every moment is a lifetime passing you by." With "Outro," one feels the journey come to an end, as the waves gently roll over the sand in the last rays of the California sun.
Just as their songs speak of possibility, so does Goldrush's Ozona possess great potential. Go buy this CD. You, too, could be soaking in the motivation Ozona is sure to stir up, for "there's a world waiting for the chance to happen."

We Love Kataman
PlayStation 2
★★★★★
I just spent the last two days picking things up. If you know me, you're laughing right now, because I am not the tidiest person in the world. But this game — We Love Katamari — is incredibly addictive. You assume the role of the Prince, son of King of All Cosmos, and you're trying to make stars out of random stuff you've picked up because Daddy's got a temper and has decided to blow up all of the stars. You use the two analog sticks to move the Katamari, the ball of stuff, around different environments. When you pass the levels, you're given a flashback into the King's childhood — which is kind of sad, but very funny. For those who didn't have a chance to play the original Katamari Damacy, there is a tutorial to get you into the game properly. This is definitely a simple game, but don't let that fool you. Everything from the hilarious graphics to the horrific music makes me grin. Definitely make this a part of your collection, especially since it's only $29.99.

A Penny can be priceless
The recent death of my childhood dog was difficult, but the thoughts of the time we had together overshadow the pain
I was 7 years old when my family and I drove out to a small farm in the country to buy a dog. It was fall, the landscape a mixture of gray, red and brown, the sky overcast.The hills arched and fell like a roller coaster and I was nauseated with anticipation.
When we arrived, the litter of pure-bred golden retrievers mingled with their siblings and parents for the last time as strangers began to cart them off, one by one.
Dave Ruigh Jayplay writer
When I saw her, tiny and the color of light copper, I knew I had to have her. She reminded me of a penny, and before we were home, that was what I named her.
As we drove home, she lay in my lap, cradled in a blanket. Because I was an only child, Penny would become the closest thing I had to a sister for the next 13 years, as we grew up together.
She started small but grew quickly. Before I knew it, she weighed as much
as I did. Penny loved to shake people's hands and play in the snow. She hated firecrackers and thunderstorms, and she never failed to greet me at the top of the stairs when I would come home. As Penny grew older, her face whitened and she couldn't run as fast, but she aged gracefully and sat like an elderly monarch, hunched yet regal.
When I decided to go to school 200 miles from home, I didn't realize how
much I would miss her. I looked forward to seeing her more than just about anyone else whenever I went back home. Every time I came back she met me at the top of the stairs, just like always, whining with her thick tail wagging frantically.
When I moved back home this past summer, I knew Penny wasn't going to live very much longer. Her
hind legs would give out, slipping on the linoleum or tripping on the stairs, and my dad would have to pick up her aging body and set her back on course. He would mention, quietly and reluctantly, that we couldn't let her live like this.
One day Penny fell in the yard, the same yard where we played in the snow every winter for more than a decade, and couldn't get back up. She had never fallen in the yard before, and I knew
what would happen if she couldn't raise herself.
I panicked. I sat down next to Penny and begged her to get up. If she could get up on her own, I reasoned, she wouldn't need to be put down. She tried, but couldn't. Her hind legs were sprawled awkwardly underneath her body and her front legs, pawing for balance, could not find steady ground. Eventually, she stopped struggling. I begged her again, but she just smiled at me in the way only golden retrievers can, with a sagging tongue and upturned gums. I cried. I never cry.
My dad called the veterinarian that evening to make an appointment to have Penny put down the following day. When I left for work that next morning, I shook her hand one last time and kissed her on the forehand. She looked happy. I couldn't turn back and look at her as I walked down the hallway. My mom said goodbye to me, but I couldn't respond. I had no air in my lungs.
At work that day, I couldn't look anybody in the eye and I felt sluggish and dazed. My legs barely existed and could hardly support me. When a co-worker said something offhandedly about what her pet had done the night before, I felt like throwing up. I didn't tell anybody what happened.
When I got home that afternoon, there were flowers from the veterinarian's office on the table and my dad was
sitting in a chair. We didn't speak for a few minutes. Finally, he told me how strong Penny had been before the veterinarian gave her the shot in the back of our pickup. My dad had held her in a blanket through it all; she left us as she came to us, cradled in a blanket. It was over so fast that my mom was still petting her when my dad told her Penny was gone.
As my dad sat in his chair, he asked me, his voice cracking, if I would write something for Penny. He told me I was the writer in the family. But I couldn't do it then.
Penny had been my friend and part of our family since I was 7 years old. I've never experienced a death in the family, so hers was one of the hardest things I've had to go through.
My parents swear they will never get another dog. Most people say this after a pet dies, but I believe them when they say it. Penny does seem irreplaceable. When I get a place of my own, though, I know I'll get another dog. Pets add something to life that nothing else can, a constant source of friendship and comfort.
But no matter how many dogs I have in my life, I'll never forget Penny. She was my first dog, my friend and my family.

The University of Kansas has a list of facilities improvements to make, but it will have to turn to private funds to complete the repairs.

Toni Dixon, director of communications for the School of Business, said Summerfield
has quite a few limitations. The building is not big enough to hold the growing number of faculty and staff, and it is not technologically advanced. Specifically, the facility lacks conference rooms and computer laboratories.
"It's been at the back of people's minds for a while," Dixon said.
The School of Business will probably be relocated between Carruth-O'Leary Hall and Potter Lake, Steeples said. The University will either build the new building while Carruth-O'Leary is still standing or tear down the building and then

Multiple bike thefts strike campus

Polzin's $450 Trek bicycle, and convenient means of transportation, had been stolen.
Tanner Polzin walked along the bicycle rack outside Templin Hall, looking for his ride to class Monday morning. Only his broken cable lock remained, still hanging from the rack.
"I have class sometimes from 9:30 to 2:30 straight and my classes are far apart," Polzin, Hoisington freshman, said. "I might have to get a Wal-Mart one."
Since Sept. 12, at least eight other University of Kansas students and employees have reported to the KU Public Safety Office that their bicycles were stolen on campus or in surrounding neighborhoods. This number almost exceeds the total number of 10 bicycles reported stolen during the 2004-2005 academic year.

their bikes by removing the front wheel and chaining both wheels and the frame to a bicycle rack, Bailey said. Or, they can buy a good-quality u-lock — many of the stolen bicycles were locked with cable or chains, he said.
Tom Fulbright, salesman at Sunflower Bike Shop, 804 Massachusetts St., said a $15 cable lock might work for bicycles left in areas of heavy traffic. A $35 u-lock would work better, though a professional could outsmart any locking device, he said.
A u-lock is shaped like U, and its strong
design makes it more difficult to cut or break than a cable lock.
Fulbright said since Kryptonite u-locks had been redesigned to better thwart people from picking the locks, sales had increased.
Doug Wahl, owner of Lawrence Pawn and Jewelry, 944 E. 23rd St., said people often attempt to pawn bikes at his shop. Before he buys a bike, Wahl said he checked for a yellow sticker that proved the bike had been registered with the police department. Then he calls the police department to double check.

Westar scandal stresses ethics
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
▼ SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
The School of Business has a business ethics class, but it is not a requirement for students. The class was last taught by H. Joseph Reitz in the Spring 2005 semester.
The School of Business maintains its policy toward educating students on ethics, even in the wake of the David Wittig scandal.
Chad Anderson, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said his professors had not really dwelt on the Wittig incident.
"They kind of touched on it, but we never got an opinion from them," Anderson said. "They just asked us questions on what we thought about it."
Richard DeGeorge, professor of philosophy, also taught the business ethics class every year up until two years ago.
The school's reaction to the Wittig incident helped get student's attention focused on the need to study such subjects in their classes."
Douglas May Professor of business
He said the school should consider making an ethics class a requirement for students, preferably as a requirement before they are admitted.
De George said his class introduced students to the techniques of moral argument and the language of ethics in order to articulate and defend their position. In addition, he said he strove to familiarize students to what current ethical issues are.
The David Wittig scandal has
become the latest incident in corruption of business ethics.
Wittig, a 1977 graduate of the School of Business and former chief executive of Westar Energy Inc., was found guilty of 39 counts from money laundering to conspiracy. Six of eight Westar board of directors who served under Wittig were also KU alumni.
Douglas May, business professor and co-director for the International Center for Ethics in Business at the University, said the School of Business had been dedicated to teaching business ethics and infusing it throughout the curriculum since the late 1980s.
"The school's reaction to the Wittig incident helped get students' attention focused on the need to study such subjects in their classes," May said.

As her mother Gerda steadies her, actress Charize Theron takes the first "official" step on her new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during dedication ceremonies in Los Angeles, Thursday.
Law firms find no evidence of affair
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul dodged questions about a review that Fox said found no evidence that she had an affair with a former contestant, and Simon Cowell said viewers could expect more scandals among competitors.
"I'm sitting right here happy doing what I'm doing," Abdul said Wednesday when asked if she felt vindicated by a report last month by two law firms that found nothing to corroborate former contestant Corey Clark's claim of an affair with the former pop star.
Abdul did say later that "when you have a show this successful it's crazy we haven't had any more discrepancies."
'AMERICAN IDOL'
Abdul, Cowell, fellow judge Randy Jackson and host Ryan Seacrest were in San Francisco for auditions for the upcoming season, which starts in January.
The judges also said viewers shouldn't expect every contestant to have a flawless background, and that a good scandal can keep the show interesting.
"Not everybody is perfect and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people," said Cowell, who routinely skewers "Idol" candidates he deems aren't up to snuff. Cowell also promised to be "nice."
The judges also praised former "Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson's transition to mainstream stardom. Clarkson recently won MTV awards for Best Pop Video and Best Female Video for her hit "Since U Been Gone."
"We're proud, we're happy, and it's nice that she remembers the show as well," Cowell said.
The judges said viewers should be prepared for plenty more contestants like William Hung. Hung's dismal performance of the Ricky Martin song "She Bangs" failed to earn him a spot on "Idol" but won him a cult following and spots on television ads.
The allegations that Abdul had an affair with Clark, who competed unsuccessfully in 2003, received nearly as much publicity as the Fox-TV show last year and led to an ABC special called "Fallen Idol."
Senior greeks stick together
HOUSING

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Senior year for members of the greek community means the opportunity to move out of the house but still share a bond by continuing to live with fellow senior members off campus.
Though living out of the house can provide freedom, it also requires more responsibilities.
"Everyone wants to move on as the last hurrah," said Joel Dreiling, Leawood senior and member of Phi Kappa Psi.
Ashley Withers, Shawnee senior, lives under the same roof with 11 other Kappa Delta seniors.
She said because her house was filled to capacity it provided the option of living off campus.
"V
You get so used to living around so many girls. I couldn't imagine living with anyone else."
Ashley Withers
But still living around the girls she has known since freshman year was a must.
"You get so used to living around so many girls," she said. "I couldn't imagine living with anyone else."
Molly Cobb, Overland Park senior, lives with six Chi Omega seniors. She said the freedom
that comes with living away from the house was rewarding.
"You create the rules of the house," she said. "There are no consequences if you don't follow the rules."
Dreiling said he could now have friends over to visit and have parties with kegs on football game days, which was not possible living under fraternity rules.
"You get kegs, but you get noise complaints," he said of throwing parties at his new place.
Living with 11 senior members of Gamma Phi Beta, Anna Zuroweste, Overland Park senior, said to keep the house clean they had come up with the wheel of chores that assigned cleaning duties.
Last year, living in the sorority house, Zuworeste didn't have
to worry about anything other than cleaning her room and paying bills.
She said this year has helped prepare her for when she has to live on her own.
"It increases your responsibility and makes you feel like you're on your own more than you were before," she said.
Withers said having a place off-campus has helped the younger members get to know the seniors.
The off-campus house provides an extension to the sorority, because the sophomore members use the house as a place to relax, she said.
"It's helped the house as a whole to bond," she said.

EVOLUTION
Science critics' rhetoric called 'demeaning'
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — They may be Nobel Prize winners, but they didn't do their homework before criticizing how proposed Kansas science standards would handle evolution, intelligent design advocates argue.
The intelligent design advocates described the critics — prominent chemists, physicists, and medical experts — as "clearly ignorant" about changes the advocates are seeking in current standards that treat the theory of evolution as well-accepted and crucial to understanding science.
Thirty-eight laureates, led by Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel, sent a letter to the State Board of Education earlier this month. Intelligent design advocates who helped draft the proposed standards fired back in a letter they made public Thursday.
The intelligent design advocates suggested the laureates didn't review the proposed changes and said the criticism was part of a larger campaign to discredit intelligent design advocates and suppress debate over evolution's flaws.
"We all want good standards," the letter said. "However, demeaning rhetoric that does not address specifics but serves only to belittle and misrepresent the changes is not helpful."
The state board expects to vote later this year on proposed standards, which will be used to develop tests for students but would allow local boards to decide how science is taught. With a 6-4 conservative majority, the board is expected to adopt language sought by intelligent design advocates.
But Steve Case, assistant director of the University of Kansas' Center for Science Education, said intelligent design advocates' language deserves the criticism.
"What they're proposing is the same old debate and arguments that were disposed of by the science community in about 1860," Case said.

President Bush watches as Judge G. Roberts Jr. is sworn in by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, Thursday, in the East Room of the White House. Roberts is the 17th Chief Justice of the United States. Left to right are Bush, Judge Roberts, 'wife Jane and Justice John Paul Stevens.
Roberts supersedes Rehnquist
BY JESSE J. HOLLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - John G. Roberts Jr., a conservative protege of the late William H. Rehnquist, succeeded him Thursday and became the nation's youngest chief justice in two centuries, winning support from more than three-fourths of the Senate after promising he would be no ideologue.
Roberts, at 50, becomes the 17th chief justice, presiding over a Supreme Court that seems as divided as the nation over abortion and other tumultuous social issues. The court opens a new term on Monday.
"The Senate has confirmed a
man with an astute mind and kind heart," President Bush said just before Roberts was sworn in by acting Chief Justice John Paul Stevens. "All Americans can be confident that the 17th chief justice of the United States will be prudent in exercising judicial power, firm in defending judicial independence and above all a faithful guardian of the Constitution."
Constitution and bearing true faith and allegiance to it." Roberts said.
A crowd including seven of the eight sitting justices, Roberts' parents, Rosemary and John Sr., children John and Josephine, Senate supporters and White House well-wishers stood and applauded as Roberts kissed his wife and shook Stevens' hand. The audience also included Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and White House counsel Harriet Miers, both of whom have been mentioned as candidates for O'Connor's seat.
Bush is expected to make his second Supreme Court nomination within days, one that conservatives hope will move the court to the right. Replacing Rehnquist with Roberts keeps the court's current balance, but replacing the moderate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with a conservative could tilt it rightward.
"What Daniel Webster termed the miracle of our Constitution is not something that happens in every generation, but every generation in its turn must accept the responsibility of supporting and defending the
He said he would try to "pass on to my children's generation a charter of self-government as strong and as vibrant as the one that Chief Justice Rehnquist passed on to us."
Roberts took a separate judicial oath during a private White House ceremony attended by the other justices. A formal Supreme court ceremony is scheduled for Monday, before the opening of the term.
Roberts called the Senate's 78-22 bipartisan vote for him "confirmation of what is for me a bedrock principle, that judging is different from politics." All of the Senate's 55 Republicans, independent James Jeffords of Vermont and half of the 44 Democrats supported him.

Father relives death
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — The father of a teenager whose killing captivated the community said Thursday he felt like he was reliving his daughter's death after a judge bound her alleged killer over for trial.
"It just takes you right back to the first," Roger Kemp said in a phone interview Thursday night after hearing Benjamin Appleby's taped admission during the second day of the preliminary hearing.
Earlier in the day District Judge Steve Leben ordered Appleby, 30, of Bantam, Conn., to stand trial on charges of capital murder and attempted rape in the June 2002 killing of Ali Kemp, who was 19.
Appleby was arrested more than two years later in November 2004 in Connecticut, where he was living under an alias.
Among the witnesses testifying Wednesday was Roger Kemp, who told the court about finding his daughter's battered body in the pump room of a Leawood swimming pool. She was working there
After the killing, Roger Kemp helped set up a $50,000 reward fund, got billboards put up around the Kansas City area seeking information on his daughter's killer and bought advertisements in USA Today. Her case also was the subject of "America's Most Wanted" segments, and never fully faded from the public eye.
after finishing her freshman year at Kansas State University.
"I can see it all how it unfolded," he said. "It was a very tough day."
Bringing his daughter's killer to justice was his goal, but he was emotionally exhausted as the process got under way.
Earlier this month, Leben rejected defense attorneys' efforts to have Appleby's taped statement describing the crime disallowed. Appleby had a small pool-cleaning business in the region at the time Kemp was killed, and said he occasionally stopped at pools looking for work.
Also Thursday, a pathologist testified that the likely cause of

Her case also was the subject of "America's Most Wanted" segments, and never fully faded from the public eye.
death was strangulation, though other injuries could have caused her death.
"At least the ball is rolling," Roger Kemp said. "We're taking one step at a time. It's starting to happen."
Funds

Work has already begun on Murphy Hall, but further improvements are needed, said Steve Hedden, dean of the School of Fine Arts. A price has not been set.
He said that the University has made other renovations the building needed but that private funds would have to be used
to improve Swarthout Recital Hall.
The University renovated Murphy's choral rehearsal room and 15 practice rooms.
Hedden said the University was planned to renovate a large portion of the practice rooms in the summer of 2006. Murphy has not been renovated since it was been built in 1957.
science building for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was at the top of the University's list. But this is not the easiest goal when the building would cost an estimated $75 to $100 million.
The University is also looking for funds to build the new Multicultural Resource Center and library annex.

Ethics
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The University brought May to campus this summer to strengthen the programs that the center offers.
Besides ethics classes, the School of Business also relies on its International Center for Ethics to educate students. The center's mission statement says the center was established "to promote individual and corporate integrity through research, teaching, and training."
Part of the center's efforts to promote ethical decision-making in business is the annual Sutton Lecture Series that brings speakers in the business field to campus. In addition, the center facilitates a student honor system established in 1990, which was revised this year.
Susan Gianairs, Wichita senior, said she was satisfied with the School of Business' handling of teaching business students ethics.
"They give us a heads up on what will get us in trouble or not," Gianairs said.

Get with the program
Here we go again with North Korea. For those of you who haven't been watching the news lately, the six-nation talks between North Korea, the United States, and other involved parties last week yielded what was heralded by many as dramatic breakthrough in the diplomatic impasse that has prevailed since 2002 when North Korea declared that it had a secret nuclear weapons program.
Now don't get us wrong, we think that the United States. and its allies should continue to seek a diplomatic solution to the problems on the Korean Peninsula, but this agreement does nothing to herald peace in our time.
The new agreement, which was signed on September 19, lays out a plan that would lead to North Korea having normalized relations with the United States, and would also give North Korea light-water nuclear reactors, which produce waste products that are much more difficult to convert into material for nuclear weapons than the waste producer by North Korea's current reactors, for electricity production.
In exchange, North Korea would agree to give up its nuclear weapons program and to allow meaningful inspections in order to verify its compliance.
It appears so far, however, that this agreement has in reality changed very little or nothing at all.
Perhaps the most evident sign of this is that North Korea's Yongbyn Nuclear Center is still
active; not only is it still producing power, but, presumably, it is also still producing the raw materials needed to build a nuclear warhead.
Another apparent sign that North Korea may have been less than sincere in the latest rounds of negotiations is the continuing posturing and saber-rattling of the state-controlled North Korean media.
"Before we get too excited about this latest breakthrough, we need to be aware that, if anything, this agreement is only a beginning..."
In its latest bombasts, which have been aired since this agreement was announced, the North Korean media has trumpeted its country's "deterrent" against the United States and has continued to openly proclaim that, "Nuclear weapons are no longer the monopoly of the U.S."
Another sticking point that will probably doom this latest agreement is that North Korea is demanding that the United States give it new nuclear reactors before it opens up to inspectors.
Anyone who remembers the initial agreements made in the '90s between the United States, and North Korea, though, realizes that this would be a bad idea.
Back in 1994, President Clinton made an honest mistake by assuming that if only he negotiated in good faith with North Korea, then the regime there would be more than happy to accept conditions made by its neighbors to abandon its missile program and to reaffirm its adherence to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
Unfortunately, after North Korea happily accepted our reactors, it continued to increase its weapons capabilities and to sell its technologies on the black market.
In 2002, after several years of accusations by the United States, North Korea admitted that it had been developing nuclear weapons, and, on top of that, was using its donated reactors to produce material for its warheads.
Once again, the editorial board fully supports a diplomatic solution the problems between North Korea on the one hand, and the United States, South Korea and Japan on the other.
Before we get too excited about this latest breakthrough, we need to be aware that if anything, this agreement is only a beginning, and that it will take much more hard work and patience in order to see these problems through to an acceptable resolution.
Josh Goetting for the editorial board.

Keeping with my current theme, and attempting to save some fellow students a few bucks, my thoughts turn to role-play.
Having not discussed the basics of a scene in my last installment, I shall try to keep it brief. A scene is a set period for BDSM activity. By involving role-play, it allows for one's erotic fantasies to come alive.
While role-play is not exclusively a BDSM activity, it is not purely for the vanilla either. There is an added excitement in having sex with someone who is "not" your partner. Within BDSM, role-play adds options for possible scenes.
I know well enough that, out there, people are dreaming of teachers, athletes, bosses, police, firefighters, medical professionals, etc. Why not try it with your partner? Indulge in having your hot schoolteacher punish you for forgetting your homework.

childhood game of doctor.
Having quickly glanced at a few costume Web sites, all of these possibilities and more are available. Also, both Naughty But Nice and Priscilla's have a wide selection of clothes, especially for the Halloween season. Choose something that you can use again and again, at least for private use.
For the vanilla, the options stop here, but the BDSM mind has only begun to find possibilities. There is the somewhat common option of a Daddy (or Mommy)/baby relationship, or the pony girl (or boy). Pony takes a little imagination, but, in short, it is where the sub is treated as a pony, fitted with a tail (butt plug) and bridle.
Men, do not despair. There are many options for you too, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your mind set) there is not as wide of a range of possibilities to be skintight and scantily clad.
Now after providing the suggestions for the "what," I must touch on the "how." Unlike many
activities, where one might need a complete owner's manual, this is not the case for role-playing. Communication is, as always, an important factor (I sound like an advertisement for the COMS department).
While many of us are not willing to open up and discuss our deepest fantasies, you must remember that your partner cares for you and might have something similar in mind. If being blunt and open does not work, sit down together and make a list of roles that could be fun. If your secret one is on the list, do not draw attention to it; it's just one of many.
Make a game of the whole thing. Draw a role, a place, and a time from a pile at random. Naughty nurse, in the bathroom, first thing in the morning (sounds a bit like Clue). Then act it out. The worst that can happen is that it is not repeated, but you never know, it could become a new favorite.
This information, while new to some, and yet a review to others, will, I hope, provide hours of enjoyment for those who choose to utilize it. May all your sexual encounters be "safe, sane and consensual." Enjoy, and have fun.

this financial hostage taking. Among others, Yale, Harvard Law and UC Berkeley are no longer allowing this form of legalized discrimination to take place on their campuses. They have been forced to find funding in other places, but consolations have been made in that they no longer support an imperialist organization whose initial aim is the militaristic control of foreign soil (regardless of whether they accomplish this by "protecting our freedom").
864-7666 or [weaver@kansan.com]
I am neither blaming nor supporting the University in its decision to accept the funding in which this University relies upon. Aside from what I have already stated, I am not asking anything more of the University than an end to on-campus recruitment. I am, however, asking the student body to stand in solidarity and oppose the presence of a discriminating and imperialist military on this campus.
I argue that the federal government is taking the University financially hostage by providing them with only two options: discriminate against students or forfeit the financing which enables the daily running of the University of Kansas.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Discrimination is what it is
From this student's vantage, which is from the inside of Lawrence Counter Recruitment, the initial cause of LCR's campaign is the immediate and everlasting removal of military recruiters from this campus and an immediate end to United States, led imperialism. The issue that directly relates to this campus is not U.S. imperialism, the rampant use of torture by agents of the military, the deceitfulness of military recruiters, the thousands of lives lost because of the Iraq war or the effects of the Saddam Hussein regime.
LCR, as it relates specifically to this campus, is opposed to the discrimination supported by both the military and the administration at the University of Kansas. The University has a non-discrimination policy by which the administration has pledged to abide. This policy states clearly that any organization that supports the discrimination of individuals based on age, race, sexual orientation, etc., is not welcome on this campus. Military recruiters, however, openly discriminate against gays, by way of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy, and are continually allowed to recruit at the University of Kansas. The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy is a poorly disguised case of discrimination that
states that people within a certain percentage of the military are not allowed to freely discuss their marital and sexual relations without the fear of the repercussions of a dishonorable discharge from the military. But now is not the time and place to discuss the legality of said policy.
SCOTT GUSTAFSON opinion@kansan.com
The federal government, in order to establish an education system that promotes equality and fair treatment through the funding of research, has pledged $110 million to the University of Kansas. In the form of the Solomon Act, the federal government has stipulated that in order to receive this funding, a military presence must be allowed on campus. The federal government has thus forced the University to choose between funding and respecting its students. The University, as any capitalist enterprise would, chose the funding. While this is a decision that all universities wishing to receive federal aid have had to make, few have stood up to the government and demanded an end to

Sara Garlick. Do you realize that Sex and the City is written by males? (Editor's note: According to the Internet Movie Database, the majority of writers are female.)
All the GDI's that keep calling and bashing greeks need to stop talking about something they know nothing about.
I was going to leave a Free for All comment, but the estrogen is making me completely irrational.
I think the Kansan is sexist because they keep running terrible columns by women, i.e. Sara Garlick and Julie Obormy.

She will never know what it is like to look at magazines or television shows and have a hard time spotting someone of her racial background. She will never know the feeling of immediately standing out in the United States, not because of what she is wearing, but because of the color of her skin, her hair or eyes. That is why I could not understand why Miss Oborny felt that she needed to speak for Asian-Americans in her 9/27/05 Kansan column, "Picture This: More Diversity."
As a self-described "21-year-old, middle class, non-religious, heterosexual, white, female college student," Julie Oborny will never know what it is like to be asked "Do you know English?" even if she were born in the United States.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Weaker sex or weak column
She turned what was intended as a fun, humorous picture into a racial statement, and her statement was, in my opinion, basically that the half-Caucasian and half-Korean model was representing her race badly, that the half-Asian model was putting out the message that because the white male model was holding her, the model was reiterating that she was the "weaker individual," and that the half-Asian model was

I never would have interpreted
an idiot for posing in the position,
not knowing that she was setting
back her people many steps.
People viewing that photograph probably wouldn't think about racial issues either. Miss Obomy, on the other hand, appears to want to make a big issue out of nothing, and I find it personally disturbing that she used a minority group to vent out her frustrations.
Instead of criticizing the model, why did Miss Obormy not take into account that representation of Asian-Americans is scarce, and there is a serious lack of Asian celebrities in American culture. Besides Lucy Liu, can non-Asian-Americans name an Asian celebrity that is not a kung-fu star? Does anyone know who Ming Na, Coco Lee or John Cho are?
That model probably had no idea that race would play into her posing for that photograph.
I doubt it. Asians and Asian-Americans mostly fly under the radar in the entertainment business. I am accepting of this, even though it is a sad fact. That is why when I learned that the model on the Sex on the Hill cover was half-Korean, I thought to myself, "Good for her."
If Miss Oborny saw racism in that photo, then maybe Miss Oborny needs to step back and evaluate her own views of different races. I am an Asian-American woman born in Kansas.
that picture as a portrait of racial subjugation. I had not heard in a long time that because I was a minority I had to be careful that I never did anything to portray myself as Obormy stated "the weaker individual."
I have felt my fair share of discrimination, and I have learned in my lifetime when someone is actually discriminating or stereotyping me and when someone is not.
The model in the SOTH did not offend me, but Miss Oborny's statement, "...To me, representing a minority (I know people will take issue with that label, and I encourage you to do so) in that way, with the Caucasian male holding her, facilitates her position as the weaker individual," very much did. Racism should never be taken lightly and when one cries wolf like Miss Oborny, real racial issues lose their impact.

NEWYORK — Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt didn't have a chance from the get-go, says John Gray, best-selling author of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." The couple separated in January after 4 1/2 years of marriage. Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences.

"Aniston and Pitt had very little chance of lasting." Gray told The Associated Press. "They started out like the prom king and queen. He was the sexiest man and she the sexiest woman. That kind of pressure makes it hard to make a relationship last."

Friday, Sept. 30, 2005:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Often this year, you might shake your head at what goes down around you in your day-to-day life. You will learn not to anticipate a certain response or outcome, but rather to flex. You are likely to see work- and health-related matters differently because of events. You need to learn to handle tension. Consider a yoga class or some other outlet. If you are single, you might want to keep a new friendship low-key. It will take you at least a year to get to know this person. The unpredictable runs riot in your personal life. If you are attached, both you and your sweetie need weekends alone together. Sharing and closeness will build as a result. VIRGO makes a good healer for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Just when you thought you had life under control ... surprise! You might be upset by what you see around you. You might ask yourself why you are so triggered by events and people. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.
***** Excitement seems to follow you. Being a staid sign, sometimes you find asta the uprair a bit unnerving. Let go of the status quo and work with change. The only thing you can be sure of is change. Work on flexing more. Tonight: A very fun Bull plunges into the weekend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ You might feel like taffy being pulled in many different directions. You can change what is happening. Matters on the work or professional front are exciting at best. Look at the cup as half-full. Tonight: Homeward bound.
★★★★ Surprises occur. Plans could change. Odd news could come your way. Take nothing as a given right now, and explore options in a rapidly transforming situation. You need to be positive. Tonight: Hang with the gang.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ try to at least get control of your finances, even if a partner or associate could be a bit crazy and off-the-wall. For some, this might mean separate checking accounts or dual signatures on the account. Expect a
strong reaction, and you will not be disappointed. Tonight: Take it easy.
VIRGB (Aug 23-Sent. 22)
★★★★ You have the best intentions,
but others tend to toss your plans,
ideas and projects in the air. Consider
what you want from a relationship or
friendship. Right now, someone might
need space. Tonight: Get into the
moment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
TAJRUS (April 20-May 20)
★★ Know when to cut out and do something different. Play it low-key today. If you can vanish, do so. The unexpected runs riot through your life with a quickness. Adapt and flow. Don't get too plugged in. Tonight: Play ockyt
★★★★★ You know what you want,
but getting there might take a leap of faith. Others might have to deal with a child's or loved one's unpredictability.
You have the imagination you need to find solutions. Tonight: Party the weekend in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
to do about a situation. On the personal or domestic front, you need to give up ways that no longer work for you. Express your dynamic personality. Tonight: You want to be out late.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Others need you to take charge, as they cannot figure out what
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
★★★★ Take the high road, despite the action-packed incidents around you. Don't trigger; rather, look at what happens with perspective. You can certainly say you aren't bored. You might long for calmer days. Tonight: Take off ASAP.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
ADEMIC OCTOBER 26-JULY
★★★ Work with others and listen to their thoughts. You have pulled the wild card financially, which means anything could happen with your finances. Consider buying a lottery ticket. Someone has lots of advice.
Tonight: Be a duo.
PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)
★★★★★ You want to steal the scene or get attention. Just be careful how you do it. When you let the "wild thing" in you out, sometimes others back off. Let others do their thing. You will get attention soon enough. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

The team has been racing against each other on the Kansas River when the weather permits. They've been doing time trials as well.
"We're looking to see who the fastest people are, and who has the most competition," Catloth said. "It's definitely a progressive stage, and a chance to get our feet wet. There's a lot of preparation that the team needs to be able to race. It's not just about
As far as the physical part is concerned, Ebel said she felt the team was physically fit for this weekend.
the physical aspects, it's also about the mental aspects."
"We've been working really hard," she said. "It'll be nice to get our first race under our belts and see what we can do."
Kansas's rivalry teams such as Texas and Kansas State will be participating this weekend as well.
"I always like to see how we compare to those teams," rower Kris Lazaar said. "We get to see how each team has improved from last season."
Catloth said positions could change from season to season and weekend to weekend, though, so sometimes it's hard to judge what a team would be like.
"It's really about getting more experience on rowing," Catloth said.
The two-day race will give experience because races occur one right after the other.
The race starts Saturday with the Women's Varsity Four, then continues with Women's Novice Eight and ends with Women's Open Double.
Sunday morning's competition starts with the Women's Novice Four, then continues with Women's Open Single, and ends with Women's Varsity Eight.
Sunday afternoon, teams will run in the 500m Cox Communications Women's Open Single followed by the 500m Chesapeake Energy Women's Varsity Eight, with the top six qualifying.
"Everyone's really excited to start racing," Lazaar said. "It seems like we've been practicing for awhile, so it'll be nice to actually start racing and compete against other teams and not iust each other."
The team departs from Allen Fieldhouse Saturday at 7 a.m.

Delta Chi Three wins in intramural playoff
Delta Chi Three's strong defense led it to a 6-0 victory against Sigma Chi One during Wednesday's intramural men's flag football playoff game.
Strong defensive games by both teams kept the scores low.
In the first half both teams struggled to make it into the endzone.
Halfway through the first half, Delta ChiThree scored a touchdown on a pass by Matt Selzer, Garden City junior, to Mark Doering, Garden City junior.
Delta Chi Three's offense came alive in the second half
This series, however, did not end in points for Delta Chi Three.
when Selzer, its quarterback, ran for 20 yards during one play. Adam Fleumer, Leavenworth junior, followed this with a great catch, which bounced off a few Sigma Chi One defenders before he caught it.
Both Sigma Chi One and Delta Chi Three had the opportunity to score again, but neither one could capitalize. The game ended with more failed series by both teams.
"We are excited to win our first game in the playoffs, and we are looking forward to the next game," Selzer said after the game.

Nebraska was scheduled to play Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, last Sunday, but Hurricane Rita pushed that game back to Oct. 30.
Kansas has defeated Iowa State in the last six meetings, outscoring the Cyclones 8-1 in two games last season.
Iowa State (6-3-2, 1-1 Big 12) split its opening pair of Big 12 games against Colorado and Texas Tech. The Cyclones will face Missouri tonight.
Despite the loss last Sunday to Texas A&M, Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said the game marked the best 90 minutes his team has put together so far.
"We need to tap into what
ever we did to get us ready to play," Francis said. "If we bring that every game, we're going to win a lot of games."
Standing in the Jayhawks' way in Ames is freshman forward Leslie Hill. Hill was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week after scoring twice against Texas Tech, for her second and third goals of the season.
The Cyclones have just 15 goals compared to the Jayhawks' 17, but boast a shot on goal percentage of 58 percent. Kansas is only at 44 percent.
Francis said each game would be a battle once Big 12 play started.
"You have to show up or you're not going to win," Francis said.

"It was really good to score some runs and to get our hits going and our batters going," she said.
Humphreys' focus was on throwing strikes, and she was satisfied with the way the team strung hits together.
Freshman pitcher Valerie George relieved Humphreys in
the ninth inning. She pitched the final 4.5 innings and didn't allow any hits, striking out five batters.
The Jayhawks will play host to the Fall Jayhawk Classic this weekend.
The team will play UMKC and Washburn on Saturday and Northern Colorado and a team to be announced later on Sunday.

Missouri quarterback Brad Smith, center, fights his way through the Arkansas State defense on Sept. 3, during Missouri's 44-17 victory at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Smith's average of 362 yards per game ranks him third in the nation in total offense.

Lauded players to face off
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's Brad Smith and Texas' Vince Young will go head-tohead Saturday as the Tigers face the No. 2 Longhorns in a Big 12 Conference opener.
Although the two quarterbacks have had different levels of success as starters — Young is 20-2 and Smith is 20-19 — they both will be trying to prove themselves to a national audience.
Smith will try to disprove critics after a disappointing 5-6 season a year ago. He also will look to lead the Tigers to their first win against a Top 5 opponent since 1978. Missouri is 0-25 against Top 5 opponents in the last 27 years.
Young, who led his team to a 2005 Rose Bowl win, is a Heisman Trophy candidate looking to lead the Longhorns to the national title game.
"Everybody at Missouri and on TV will get a special treat watching two of the best quarterbacks in the country play," Texas coach Mack Brown said.
Both quarterbacks are off to strong starts.
Smith, a senior, is 84-of-125 for 748 yards and six touchdowns. He has rushed 54 times for 383 yards and four touchdowns. Smith's average of 362 yards per game ranks him third in the nation in total offense.
Young, a junior, is 39-of-60 for 544 yards and five touchdowns.
He has also rushed 35 times for
202 yards and a touchdown.
"You see two phenomenal athletes playing quarterback," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "Both of them can make a lot of things happen when things break down, and that's the thing that causes defensive coordinators to have sleepless nights."
Brown anticipates Saturday's game will be a high-scoring affair. Texas (3-0) is No. 2 in the country in rushing, and Missouri (2-1) is No. 3. Both teams are also in the Top 15 in points scored.
Last year, the Longhorns posted a 28-20 home win over the Tigers. Young was injured in the second quarter of the game and did not return.
"It was before Vince started on his roll, and he's excited about the game because he knows that he got hurt in last year's game and didn't play very well." Brown said.
As for Smith, Brown said,
"We knocked him around last year,
and he didn't even blink.
"I think we're seeing a guy who is very similar to the one who's playing for us because he can beat you with his feet, he can beat you with his arm, and he competes so hard," Brown said.
Young is known for longer strides while Smith takes shorter steps.

Every other football game was a toss-up, and a bold pick won't make the most difference in these match uns.

A major Major League weekend
Alissa: How sad is it that anyone would think of watching football this weekend? Seriously, I live for weekends like this one.
Matt: You sound like a Major League Baseball commercial. I think you may be disappointed, Bauer. What once looked like an unbelievable weekend, with New York at Boston and Chicago at Cleveland may turn out to be meaningless by Saturday or Sunday.
RADIO MUSIC SHOW
ALISSA BAUER AND MATT WILSON sports@kansan.com
Alissa: If you mean disappointing because of the anti-climactic week-end ahead in Boston, then okay. There's an awful lot of hype going on for a division race that will end with the Yankees up by three games. But you're really not excited about Cleveland and Chicago? They're so back and forth on who's going to burn out faster that it can't be disappointing.
Matt: Yeah, the Southsiders have
been limping their way toward October since the All-Star break. Even though they hung on, they don't appear to be a threat to win the American League pennant. But neither do the Yankees.
The National League is pretty much set. The best story is San Diego. How funny is it that they have won the West and could end up with
It's the Angels in the AL. They have a chance this weekend to own home-field advantage throughout the playoffs because of the AL winning the All-Star game. With Bartolo Colon and company, plus that gaudy bullpen led by Francisco Rodriguez, they will be very tough to beat. But enough about the AL:
a losing record? Bold prediction; San Diego over St. Louis in the NL Division Series.
Alissa: Your hatred for the Yanks and the Cardinals is showing more than I can stomach right now. As much as it frustrates me that the NL West is even allowed to send a team to the playoffs this year, I applaud your bold prediction. I'm sorry, but you know I can't just let you say the Angels are going to roll.
Okay, so the Yankees aren't sending any starting pitchers to the Cy Young race this season, but L.A. isn't going to hang on and do well. Call it the Cleveland Indians' syndrome, if you will, because I think both will be infected by Oct. 4th.
Matt: I think you're infected with something, but that's for another discussion. I agree the Indians are probably done. They can't keep up the pace they set the last month or so. I do think the Angels are for real, though. They have been the steadiest
team in the AL this year. What you haven't addressed is who you think will be in the World Series. I'll take the Angels and the Cardinals because I'd be crazy to actually think that the Fightin' Friars could pull the upset of all time.
Alisa: I can hardly wait for the infection talk. I don't hear the phrase "I agree" very often from you, so your call on the Indians has to mean something.
All bias aside, the boys from the Bronx get my vote for the AL, and making their debut in this conversation — the Houston Astros. What do you think about that World Series match-up?
Matt: I think I wouldn't watch it. I mean that in the kindest of ways.

2005-2006 HOME MEETS
The Kansas swimming and diving team will kick off the swim season tonight with its annual intrasquad meet.
Members of the team will compete against each other in a scrimmage to prepare for the arrival of the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Oct. 8. The intrasquad meet will include every event of a normal meet, but each event will be cut in half in terms of number of vards.
All to be held at Robinson Natatorium

For five weeks, the Jayhawks have collaborated to establish an impeccable technique and skill base. Monday, the intensity of practice escalated when the number of yards the team swam per practice nearly doubled and the team began the training
phase of the season in preparation for dual meet competition.
The intrasquad meet provides an opportunity for the freshmen to experience a college meet format and allows the team to compete and swim quickly in a low-pressure environment, said senior co-captains, Emily Rusch and Gina Gnatzig.
"Newcomers will also have the chance to get used to team unity." Gnatzig said.
In addition to eliminating the pre-season jitters of the swimmers, coach Clark Campbell said the meet was a time for the coaching staff to evaluate where everyone was performing this season, as well as to make decisions about who would compete in what race. He said the meet would also aid diving coach Eric Elliot in creating diving lists.
Campbell said, "but this is a great time to shake it off."
'We expect there to be rust,'
Campbell said the team had been conscious of its swimming this early in the season, but the goal was to start working toward swimming with no mind in preparation for championship season.
"The goal by February is to have the team swimming unconsciously, to be thinking about nothing while they swim," Campbell said.
Campbell, Gnatzig and Rusch look at tonight's competition as good practice, preparation and a learning opportunity for the team.
The intrasquad meet will begin at 5 p.m. at Robinson Natatorium. The first dual meet of the season is Oct. 8 against Minnesota at 2 p.m., also at Robinson.

Loss motivates Kansas

It's been almost a year since Nebraska ended the Jayhawks run in the NCAA Tournament. Even though it's been a year, the heartbreak still drives them to reverse last years outcome.
"Ive seen them play the last two years," freshman forward Jessica Bush said.
"So I know last year when Nebraska beat us it was very heart-breaking. We just decided that we're not going to go through that again."
The Jayhawks will face off against Nebraska and Iowa State this weekend. They will travel to Lincoln, Neb., first and seek revenge at their 4 p.m. game.
One more assist this weekend would put senior forward Caroline Smith past former Jayhawk Hilla Rantala as the all-time assist leader in the history of Kansas soccer.
Nebraska and Iowa State stand in the way of the record. The Cornhuskers have had the Jayhawks' number lately on the soccer field.
Smith continues to lead the Jayhawk offense with five goals and three assists.
Freshman forward Jessica Bush has four goals and two assists on the season.
Sophomore keeper Colleen Quinn has contributed to four of the five Kansas shutouts of the year. All five Kansas victories have come via shutouts. In her eight starts, Quinn has racked
up 35 saves and a 1.11 GAA.
The Jayhawks (5-4-1, 1-1 Big 12) will play a well-rested 'Huskers team. A 2-1 comeback victory against Colorado last Friday was the last time Nebraska (6-3-0, 1-0 Big 12) took the field. Kansas will head to Ames, Iowa, to take on Iowa State at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
"I know a lot of us have family coming so we're extra motivated," junior midfielder Rasmussen said. "We're excited for every game we play, but Nebraska is definitely one we want to beat."
Kansas will have to defend against Nebraska sophomore midfielder Jessie Bruch and junior forward Brittany Timko.

The Kansas softball team wore practice jerseys while the coaches took turns playing umpire in a scrimmage against William Jewell yesterday.
The game ended after 13.5 innings instead of the standard seven innings. After the fourth inning, the William Jewell Cardinals went up to bat with at least one runner on base each inning.
Despite this advantage, William Jewell managed only one run against Kansas. The Jayhawks defeated the Cardinals 13-1.
The game gave both teams a chance to play before the spring season begins. Despite the absence of umpires and official rules, Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said the game was a valuable experience for the Jawahrs.
"It puts us in a situation where we've got somebody else and we
don't know how they are going to react," she said.
The scrimmage allowed the team to experiment with stealing bases and bunting. The Jayhawks also mixed up their defensive positions.
Bunge said she wasn't concerned with the opponent, but rather on a way to work on the elements of the game her team needs to work on.
"I don't think it really helps our confidence that much or hurts our confidence," she said. "I think it helps our learning experience."
Junior pitcher Kassie Humphreys said the team benefited from facing different pitchers than the ones in practice.
Humphreys had strong performance, pitching eight innings, throwing 18 strikeouts and allowing only one hit. At bat, she went 3-4 with two doubles and a single.

Bludgeoning Buffaloes a point of pride for Hawks

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Jayhawks will try to put a little swagger back in their step and pick up their first conference road victory of the year when they play against Colorado at the Coors Events Center Saturday night. First serve is set for 8 p.m.
Wednesday's loss to Texas Tech was the low point of the season for the Jayhawks. Kansas committed 34 attack errors and hit a season-low.075. The Jayhawks have not been swept since last year against Nebraska on Nov. 12.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima broke the Kansas all-time kills record in the loss against Texas Tech. She said Kansas would not overlook Colorado despite a match with in-state rival Kansas State looming next week.
Kansas (11-3, 3-2 Big 12) has lost two of its last three matches, both losses coming on the road. Last season, the Jayhawks were 3-7 away from home in conference matches.
The Kansas volleyball team was swept for the first time in 20 matches Wednesday night against Texas Tech.
Kansas again will face a lower-tier Big 12 opponent. The Buffaloes are 5-5 this year with a 1-4 mark in conference play. They are fresh off a 3-0 loss to Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Colorado sits in ninth place in the conference standings.
"Every time we play Colorado, it seems like we never play well," she said. "We just need to go over there and beat them."
The Buffaloes are led by two preseason all-conference players. Junior setter Ashley Nu'u is third in the Big 12 Conference with 13.39 assists per game, just behind Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum, who averages 13.84. Senior right side hitter Allie Griffin is second in the conference in kills with 5.09 per game. Both Nu'u and Griffin received all-conference honors for Colorado at the end of 2004.
Colorado coach Pii'Ai Aiu amassed a 148-91 record in his eight previous years with the Buffalooes. He guided his clubs to six NCAA Tournament appearances and he has made it as far as the Sweet 16 in 1997.
Last season the Jayhawks lost in Boulder 3-0. They won the return match in Lawrence to split the season series. Colorado has dominated the Jayhawks to the tune of a 50-8 record over the years. Kansas has won four of the last six meetings between the clubs, dating back to 2002.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said the Jayhawks needed to work on passing and serving. Texas Tech outperformed Kansas in both of those areas on Wednesday.
"I know they're backed into a corner with their record where it is," he said of Colorado. "I know we're going to get a very inspired effort from them."
Bechard said they needed to win and build some momentum before worrying about Kansas State next Wednesday.
"We've got to give every effort Saturday in order to be in good shape for that match," he said. "We are focused on this one first."

Freshman forward Julian Wright said the games were more organized than they were in the summer. Players applied techniques they worked on in their individual workouts and boot camp. Wright said.
"We aren't just playing street ball anymore," Wright said. "Our chemistry is not there, but everyone is starting to apply the defensive stuff we've been working on and stuff they learned in individual workouts."
"Compared to last season I think we are in better shape, because in the spring we worked really hard and we were here in June and July working," Case said. "We only went home for two weeks and then came back and started working again."
The Jayhawks might even be better conditioned for their pick-up games this year than they were last year. Redshirt sophomore guard Jeremy Case said a strict offseason workout regimen helped the team get in better shape.
Case said the coaches recommended that players stay in town for the summer to get ahead in their conditioning, but it was a team decision to put in the extra effort.

"As a team we all thought we should be here and that we had something to prove this year," Case said.
One thing the Jayhawks hope to find through boot camp and pick-up games is a leader. Case said players were still learning to play together, but he expected someone to emerge as the Jayhawks' leader.

Kansas to face video game-like offense
Kansas offense its best defense
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KAMSAN STAFF WRITER
After three games and three victories for the Kansas football team, the Jayhawks will face their first stiff challenge of the year tomorrow against the No. 16 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Jayhawk offense could end up being their best defense tomorrow. The longer the offense can stay on the field, the fewer opportunities the Texas Tech offense will have to score points. Much of that will begin with senior quarterback Brian Luke.
Jayhawk fans will have their first opportunity to see how the team will perform against top competition.
"We definitely need to eat up some of the clock by running the ball and completing the ball through the air," Luke said. "Like every game we want to score as many points as we can and the more points we score puts us in that much better a situation."
Last season, the Jayhawks blew a 30-5 lead, losing late in the fourth quarter on a 70-yard touchdown run by Red Raider running back Taurean Henderson, and lost 31-30.
Although the team has not dwelt on last year's loss, senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said he thought the loss was in the back of every player's mind.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he thought his defense played well in the game, and the loss had more to do with a lack of offense.
The Jayhawks, throughout the offseason, discussed playing four complete quarters and not losing the close games that they lost last season.
Kansas vs. Texas Tech 6 p.m. Saturday, Jones SBC Stadium
The offense may be an important part of the whole if the Jayhawks are going to be successful tomorrow, but the main concern has to be with the Red Raider offense.
The Red Raiders have scored 199 points in just three games thus far and are led by quarterback Cody Hodges, who has passed for 1,117 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Mangino said despite the potent offense that Texas Tech had, Kansas was not approaching this game any differently.
"We are going to play defense the way that we play defense all the time." Mangino said. "We are not making any special preparations for this offense. They execute well so you have to play good, sound, assignment and fundamental football, and that is what we plan to do."
The Jayhawks are hoping to stop the passing attack by putting pressure on Hodges and playing tight coverage in the secondary. Much of that will come with cornerbacks Charles Gordon and Theo Baines.

KU KU
Kansas OFFENSE KU KU
The Kansas offense may have to be the team's best defense tomorrow if they want to stop Texas Tech. Expect Kansas football coach Mark Mangino to run the ball often to try to take time off the clock. While the rushing attack had a lackluster game against Louisiana Tech, Kansas will need to regain the form it had in the opening two games where it rushed for over 200 yards in each game. Senior running back Clark Green will likely get the tough yardage and junior Jon Cornish will look to use his speed to get into the open field. Senior quarterback Brian Luke needs to be efficient and not throw interceptions for the Jayhawks to succeed. Mangino said he wanted to get more receivers involved in the offense, which struggled in the first half against Louisiana Tech. If Kansas gets off to a slow start, the game may be over by halftime, because it is clear how quickly Texas Tech can score points.
DEFENSE KU KU KU
The Kansas defense will be under a lot of stress tomorrow, specifically in the team's secondary. The Jayhawks will see four and five wide receivers on the field on nearly every play. Kansas' secondary has been a point of concern this season. The secondary has given up nearly 250 passing yards per game. Junior cornerback, and pre-season all-America, Charles Godron has yet to record his first interception. Gordon certainly will have his chances tomorrow. The defense has stressed pressure on Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges all week. The defensive line will also need to get its hands up to knock down passes. The talented Kansas linebacker corps may not have the luxury of blitzing very often and will likely drop back into coverage to protect against the pass. If the secondary steps up and the defensive line gets to Hodges, which are both huge ifs, the Jayhawks could be in good position for the upset.
SPECIALTEAM KU KU KU
COACHES
Texas Tech
The Jayhawk special teams unit has been the most impressive unit this season. Sophomore place kicker Scott Webb has converted all his field goal attempts and his kickoffs have mainly resulted in touchbacks. Webb's accuracy has been a pleasant surprise for a Kansas team that had previously struggled in the kicking game. The kickoff and punt coverage team has been impressive as well, tackling returners deep in their own territories. The team's kick returners have averaged more than 20 yards per return and Gordon is averaging more than 10 yards per punt return. The Jayhawks will need to play mistake-free football on special teams if they want to win tomorrow
KU KU KU
Mangino said the KU defense would not plan any differently than it usually did against the high-powered Red Raider offense. Unless Kansas presents different looks at the potent Texas Tech offense, it may be a long day for Kansas. Mangino and Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach coached together at Oklahoma and understand each other's coaching styles. Mangino has efficiently used the first three games to have certain players emerge as starters, such as Luke and Cornish. Mangino will need to mix it up on defense and establish a strong running game tomorrow.

OFFENSE
KU
Texas Tech leads the Big 12 Conference in scoring offense, pass offense and total offense. The Red Raiders have two of the best receivers in the conference. Junior wide receiver Robert Johnson leads the conference in receptions with 19 and ranks second in the conference with 350 yards. Junior wide receiver Joel Filani has 198 yards in the first three games and has 12 receptions for the season. During quarterback Cody Hodges' first three games as a starter, he threw 12 touchdowns and only one interception. Hodges is averaging 372 yards per game. The experienced offensive line is also having a good year, protecting Hodges and giving him plenty of time to throw.
DEFENSE
TT
The defense often gets overlooked at Texas Tech because of the high-scoring offensive attack. However, the defensive unit, once one of the worst in the conference, is turning around. It ranks in the top half of the conference in total defense and pass defense. If there is an area where Tech has to improve, it's stopping the run. Tech ranks ninth in the conference in rush defense and has allowed 341 rushing yards in just three games against Sam Houston State, Indiana State and Florida International. The defense got a boost last weekend when senior safety Vincent Meeks returned to the lineup after serving a two-game suspension after getting arrested in the off-season. Meeks has nine interceptions in his career and compiled 61 total tackles last season. Also, defensive end Keyunta Dawson is a force on the defensive line. Dawson has nine tackles in the first three games and one sack.

SPECIALTEAMS
Sophomore kicker Alex Tricla will handle the kicking duties this weekend. Tricla has attempted two field goals and has made one of them. A year ago, Tricla converted seven of 13 at 34 yards, Junior punter Alex Reyes ranks sixth in the conference so far this season in punt average with 43.5 yards per punt. Last season Reyes had

Kansas to meet powerful offense
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWITCHWRITER
The Kansas defense will have its hands full this weekend, taking on one of the most potent offensive attacks in the country.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders enter the game with 199 points scored in just three games, which leads the Big 12 Conference.
In years past, Tech had been known as a passing team, which it still is, but this season the story for the Red Raiders has been their running game.
Taurean Henderson, senior running back, broke the school record for touchdowns last week, finding the end zone for the 55th time in his career. In the first three games, Henderson has rushed for 267 yards and has scored seven times.
"He's probably the most underrated back if not in the country in the Big 12," Cody Hodges, senior quarterback, said. "He can run, pass and block the blitz. I have a lot of confidence in him making big plays."
Henderson's statistics are even more impressive, considering he has yet to play a full game this season. The Red Raiders have defeated each of their first three opponents by more than fifty points, including a 80-21 beating of Sam Houston State.
Hodges compliments Henderson in the backfield, leading the Big 12 in total offense. The senior from Hereford, Texas, has already thrown for more than 1,000 yards, and is Texas Tech's fourth starting quarterback in the last four years. Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach said he has been happy with Hodges' season so far, but knows this weekend will provide a test for him.
"They did a good job stopping us and slowing us down and getting ahead," Leach said. "The biggest things we need to do are move the football and take care of it."
Kansas will not only have to overcome Tech's offensive attack, it will also have to deal with the road environment. Hodges said he thinks homefield advantage will play a factor in the game.
"We have one of the greatest venues in the Big 12 and our fans and the atmosphere really gives us an advantage," Hodges said. "We need to carry the momentum from the first three games into conference."
Texas Tech enters the game ranked No. 13 in the country in the coaches poll and No. 16 in the Associated Press poll. The No. 13 ranking is the highest-ranking for a Red Raider team since 1977.

VIEW FROM PRESS ROW
Kansas offense must put pressure on Texas Tech to skirt loss
It was this time a year ago that Mark Mangino committed the biggest coaching errors he has made during his tenure as the Kansas football coach.
While holding a 30-5 lead against Texas Tech, in the second quarter, he failed to convert a needless two-point conversion and abandoned his running game.

game. The Jayhawks ran the ball on just 17 of their 51 offensive plays in the second half, and though that would normally be a respectable balance, the Red Raiders took advantage of the extra time this strategy allowed to come back and win the game 31-30.
Last year, with John Randle and Clark Green sharing the load at running back, the rushing game was Kansas' most effective offensive weapon. Yet, Mangino put the game in the hands of then sophomore quarterback Adam Barmann.
Of course, Kansas could have lost the game even if Mangino had opted to run and the Jayhawks had not turned over the ball. The question now is: What has Mangino learned since last year?
Texas Tech is one of the toughest teams in the country to keep down; it has already put up 80 points against Sam Houston State this season. But when Kansas had a 25-point lead, it should have adjusted its game plan to make it as difficult as possible for a team that scores as quickly as Texas Tech to come back.
The Jayhawks scored zero points in the second half and Barmann threw two interceptions, which gave Texas Tech good field position and enough time to take advantage of it.
But when Kansas had a 25-point lead, it should have adjusted its game plan to make it as difficult as possible for a team that scores as quickly as Texas Tech to come back.
