Fake IDs threaten bar
NIGHTLIFE
BY STEVE LYNN

KANSAN WRITE WRITER
The line that normally allows only a slow trickle of patrons inside The Hawk on weekends was nonexistent about 11:30 p.m. Friday, as patrons sporadically entered the nearly empty bar.
The bar, 1340 Ohio St., has had 17 alcohol-related violations in two-and-a-half years, said coowner Tom Devlin, Devlin and his partner John Heleniak could soon have their liquor license revoked.
"There are rumors out there that Tom and I are in jail and the bar's closed." Heleniak said.
Evidence about minor-in
One violation could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and a suspension or revocation of an establishment's liquor license, said Brad Burke, assistant attorney general at the ABC.
possession citations by Lawrence Police Department and Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control officers at The Hawk was presented at a hearing last week.
Burke would not comment on why The Hawk had stayed open so long with so many violations.
Heleniak said The Hawk paid a $10,000 fine for three minor-in possession violations two-and-a-ball years ago.
Burke said if the judge, ABC
Director Tom Groneman, ruled against The Hawk, its owners could appeal the decision.
Two months could pass before Groneman makes a decision, Burke said.
Burke would not comment on specific details of the case.
Heleniak, owner since 1998, said he and Devlin would spend as much money as needed to save their license. Heleniak and Devlin said they disputed the part of Kansas law that says a bar cannot "unknowingly permit the possession or consumption of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage by a minor."
Fake IDs can be difficult to catch,
Devel said. Every ID in question
had a picture of the person who presented the ID to bouncers.
"It's only fair if the person knows they sold to a minor," Heleniak said.
Devlin said The Hawk still has a good compliance rate, the ABC's measurement of how often minors are turned away.

"Everyone thinks we are closed but we're not," said John Heleniak, co-owner of The Hawk. in response to the rumor that The Hawk.

Former softball player sues University

Former University of Kansas
Sr. Manager
Vasquez
softball player Jackie Vasquez is suing the University and several associated individuals after being kicked off the team, Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said
Marchiony said Vasquez was removed from the team because of misconduct regarding assistant coach Jennifer Sewell's e-mail account.
Albert Lopes, Vasquez's attorney, did not return calls seeking comment over the weekend.
Marchiony said Bunge had players shower in their uniforms, in order to motivate them after a loss. The 1996 Olympic softball team used a similar tactic. Marchiony said.
Marchiony said the other two players who went to Perkins were not kicked off the team after talking to him. Perkins knew about the shower incident and addressed Bunge before the players approached him, Marchiony said.
Senior second baseman Jessica Moppin said the softball team had moved on from the incident and would not comment further. Bunge also would not comment.
Vasquez filed five complaints to the KU Equal Opportunity Office, one of them claiming sexual harassment was involved in the incident, Marchiony said.
Sewell borrowed Vasquez's computer last semester and did not sign out adequately to prevent anyone from accessing her account, Marchiony said. He said Vasquez then accessed Sewell's e-mail and read e-mails about players and coaches, and that's why she was kicked off the team.
Marchiony said Vasquez stated in the lawsuit she was removed from the team in retaliation for her and two other teammates talking to Athletics Director Lew Perkins about an incident with Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge.

Prescription renewal moves online

Melissa Cooper uses two prescription drugs every day.
Instead of stopping by Watkins Memorial Health Center or Walgreens pharmacy, Cooper renews her prescriptions via the Internet. Cooper, Philadelphia freshman, said she used the Internet for refills because it was cheaper and more convenient.
"It's easier for me just to go online and refill it, and then it just comes to you in the mail," Cooper said.
A 2004 National Consumers League study of 1,013 Americans 18-and-over said 15 percent of the respondents bought drugs online and one-third had done so without a prescription.
Survey respondents who used the Internet wanted more government control over online providers. Of those surveyed, 60 percent agreed that the Food and Drug Administration should approve any dispenser of prescription drugs.
When consumers utilize the Web for drugs, they are often at risk for receiving counterfeit
products
Since 2000, the FDA has investigated more than 20 cases of counterfeit prescriptions every year,the NCL study found. In the 1990s, the FDA investigated an average of five counterfeit cases per year.
Cooper said she was not worried about counterfeit drugs because she used Caremark.com, which is recommended by her
insurance company.She was required to send in her prescription and fill out paperwork before becoming eligible to refill her prescription online.
Regardless of the dangers, more Americans are buying from the Internet. IMS Consulting, a firm that provides analysis and intelligence on the pharmaceutical industry, estimated that
online sales totaled $407 million in 2003, up from $160 million the year before.
Sally Heilman, a pharmacist at Orchards Drug, 1410 Kasold Drive, said that younger generations were utilizing the Internet more for prescription drugs.
"The No. 1 reason is to save money," Heilman said.
Heilman said there were issues to consider before choosing an online provider.
"I think probably one of the
Heilman said she had received calls from people inquiring about drugs they probably ordered over the Internet; however, she can't help them because she has no personal records and consulting with them would present a liability.
Orchards Drug has not seen much change in the amount of business they receive, but Heilman said that was most likely because the demographic that she saw most often was older and less computer savvy.

KU begins Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lee Denim Day

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two speakers will kick off Jayhawk Communication's seventh annual Lee Denim Day for breast cancer awareness at the University of Kansas.
Sheryle D'Amico and Julie Cowdin will speak about breast cancer survival and prevention at 7 p.m. tonight in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
D'Amico is an oncologist, a physician who studies, diagnoses, and treats cancerous tumors, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and Cowdin is a breast cancer survivor who was treated at LMH.
According to the American Cancer Society, 40,000 American women will die this year of
According to the American Cancer Society,40,000 American women will die this year of breast cancer and it will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
Amy Bainum, Dover senior, said she would attend the speech because she has witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects of
breast cancer and breast cancer will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
breast cancer.
Her mother was diagnosed in 2002, when Bainum was a senior in high school.
After going through chemotherapy treatment and having both breasts removed, her mother remains alive today, with the cancer in remission.
Watching her mother go through all the treatments was an eye-opening experience because she witnessed her mother lose a body part that society places great emphasis on, Bainum said.
Jayhawk Communications the public relations firm of the KU Public Relations Student Society of America, will sponsor activities to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research this week leading up to Denim Day on Friday.
"I learned that being a female isn't just about having breasts, even though we place so much emphasis on it in our society," Bainum said. "It's so much more than that."
Group members will pass out information about breast cancer, collect donations and display a memory board for people to remember affected friends and family members. They will have booths Tuesday through Thursday on the lawn in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, between Watson Library and Wescoe Hall, and at Mrs. E's on Wednesday and Thursday.
Lee National Denim Day occurs on the first Friday of October, which is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is the nation's largest, single-day fundraiser to support the fight against breast cancer.
Denim Day encourages people nationwide to wear jeans in exchange for a $5 donation
to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
All money collected will go the foundation. , Denim Day has raised $52 million and has been held nationally for 10 years, according to www.
komen.org Last year, Jayhawk Communications collected about $1,500.
Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park sophomore and assistant director for Jayhawk Communications, said because most KU students wear jeans anyway, the group wouldn't make people wearing jeans give donations on Friday.
Morgenstern said it was important to bring about awareness to something that is important to many people on campus.

The University Daily Kansan reported that sophomore Donald Henry had been killed in combat in the Spanish Civil War. Henry had been fighting alongside the leftist Loyalists in Spain against General Francisco Franco's right-wing Nationalists. The incident led to an investigation into what had turned a Dodge City-born
student into a radical. The Boyleians, France's fascist regime. It was decided that the Depression-era circumstances had led to increased political radicalism on the college campus. An investigation by the Board of Regents found that while communist groups were active at KU, no staff or faculty had actively supported the ideology.
Oct. 3,1946
Smith Hall (not the religious studies building), a Mormon house of worship, was converted into living quarters for roughly 100 male KU students. This arrangement lasted two years. The housing shortage was the result of former World War II soldiers returning home to take advantage of the GI Bill. The living conditions in the hall were greatly similar to barracks conditions. After its usefulness expired, the building was returned to the Mormon Church. Currently, the St. John campus of Lawrence Catholic School stands on

Finding appropriate lodging was often more difficult for women because many people thought women required more emotional support and supervision than men.

Oklahoma student identified as person killed in blast
EXPLOSION
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORMAN, Okla. — A University of Oklahoma student was identified Sunday as the person who was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium, authorities said Sunday.
The body is thought to be that of Joel Henry Hinrichs III, 21, according to a news release from Salvador Hernandez, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma. A student telephone book lists Hinrichs with a permanent address in Colorado Springs. Colo.
Hinrichs was killed when an explosive device detonated around 8 p.m. Saturday near Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where more than 84,000 people were watching Oklahoma play Kansas State in a Big 12 Conference game.
There were no other reports of injuries and OU President David Boren said spectators were never in danger.
Officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium and no one was allowed to leave the stadium immediately after the blast. Spectators who wanted to leave were allowed to go about 30 minutes later.
Boren initially said a police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast, but later said further investigation determined that the second detonation was done by the bomb squad to ensure there was not a second device.
Investigators have no information to suggest there is any additional threat posed by others related to the explosion, Hernandez said.
New cast tries out for Rock Chalk

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A new organization could grab a piece of the spotlight in this year's Rock Chalk Revue.
The scholarship halls have formed a group and plan to audition for a chance to perform in the March show.
Kansan file photo
Rock Chalk is open to anyone in a housing group, but has become associated primarily with Greek organizations. The scholarship halls last participated three years ago.
"There is a pride element," said Emily Copeland, McPherson freshman. "We can show off our talents just like our peers" in Greek chapters.
A board of six individuals with backgrounds in performing arts was created to produce the 20-minute performance.
The group will audition against 10 groups of greek chapters.
Lindsay Eagle, Kansas City Mo., sophomore, said the learning experience would benefit the halls in the long run.
"No matter what the outcome, this will be the first step," she said. "We can improve in the years to come."
MIRANDA
Nicole Kansier, Lincoln, Neb. senior and executive producer for Rock Chalk, said having a group outside of the greek community would help increase ticket sales and benefit the United Way.
She said she would like to see the scholarship halls continue their involvement in the future.
"I'm glad this year is going to be different and I hope this becomes a tradition," she said.
Delta Gamma's Michelle Gates, then Omaha freshman, and Pi Kappa Phi's Jason Murray, then Leawood senior, rehearse for their play "Double Booked" last semester at the Lied Center. Scholarship halls are participating in this year's Rock Chalk Revue, March 9-11, for the first time in three years.
The scholarship hall board has worked to meet weekly deadlines before the final deadline on Nov. 4. The group will put together a script complete with lyrics, choreography, character sketches and a compact disc with songs for the Rock Chalk directors. The five groups selected will be announced Nov. 21.
"It's a little nerve-racking. It's a lot of work but I really enjoy it," she said.
Copeland said she spent between six and 10 hours last week preparing lyrics for the musical portion of the show.
With little previous experience with Rock Chalk, the board pulled out yearbooks, videos and notebooks from years past to get an idea of what exactly goes into preparing for the performance. Each group usually puts in more than 100 hours to prepare before being selected to perform in the show itself.
While only a freshman, Cope
land said she had just as much knowledge about Rock Chalk as the senior members.
"We had to start totally from scratch. I've learned everything from the beginning," she said.
This year's Rock Chalk, themed 'Breaking Through,' will take place March 9 through 11.

Former members of Sigma Nu fraternity have registered as a housing group called Friends Incorporated in order to participate in this year's Rock Chalk Revue.
As a housing group, Friends Inc. can continue to work with Kappa Delta sorority, the former partner of Sigma Nu. The new group is called Kappa Delta and Friends. If the former members of SigmaNu had not reorganized as Friends Inc, Kappa Delta
would have needed to plan and find its entry alone.
The national organization of Sigma Nu fraternity revoked the charter of its University of Kan-

Justin Lindsay, Overland Park senior and member of Friends Inc., said making sure the group took the proper steps and was able to reorganize was important to the members of Friends Inc. and Kappa Delta.
Friends Inc. can participate because Rock Chalk is open to any housing group on campus
Lindsay said the process took a couple of days because the group spoke with members of the Interfraternity Council and the vice provost to ensure the proper steps were taken.

Amanda Naff, Lawrence senior and member of Kappa Delta, said the chapter was not far along in planning when Sigma Nu's charter was revoked.
Members of Kappa Delta were devastated to learn Sigma Nu
She said she was happy the men made the effort to continue its participation.
We are nothing but proud to be involved with this group of guys," she said.

New University logo has Pennsylvania twin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KU KU
The new logo unveiled by the University of Kansas earlier this year bears a marked similarity to one used by a smaller Pennsylvania university that also calls itself KU.
Kutztown University, located in Kutztown, an eastern Pennsylvania community northwest of Philadelphia, has been using its current logo for about two years — and it cost a lot less than Kansas paid for the one it unveiled earlier this year.
The Associated Press
The University of Kansas paid more than $88,000 for its logo, left. Kutztown University paid $20,000 for its logo, right.
Both logos feature the letters "K" and "U" in a variation of the Trajan font. There are differences — the Kutztown version is thinner and more stylized, with the
extension of the "K" swooping almost across the full width of the "U." The Kansas logo has a "K" that is extended just barely underneath the left side of the "U."
Also, the tops of both letters are on the same plane in the Kansas version.
The Kutztown version has a larger "K" whose upper left branch extends over and a bit above the left side of the "U."
Breeze, told the Lawrence Journal-World after being asked to look at an online version of the Kansas logo.
"They're distinguishable, but they're also easily confusable," Kutztown University's director of university relations, Phillip
"I don't see the two schools getting in a battle," Breeze said. "But if we don't police it, then it becomes public domain and we're both hurting then. I just think we need to have the legal people chew on this bone."
David Johnston, director of marketing at Kansas, said he doubted anyone would confuse the two schools.

Shots swished through the net from all around the basket. The 9-year-old competition was barely waist high on the 6-foot-8 freshman forward, but all Wright could do was smile.
Wright and nearly 75 other student athletes participated in the second annual "Hawks, Cops and Kids" event Saturday morning at Anschutz Sports Pavilion, sponsored by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County, local law enforcement and the Kansas Athletics Department.
"They're having fun, that's what it's all about," he said.
The event taught nearly 165 children between the ages of 8 and 10 about avoiding drugs and alcohol and living healthy lifestyles.
"I think the whole event is great," said Becki CarlStutz, Big Brothers/Big Sisters event coordinator.
"It's really important for all the kids to hear and understand what the law enforcement is saying."
Police officers provided information on safety and the dangers of drugs and alcohol at different interactive stations. The student athletes taught fundamentals of several sports, including football, basketball and track. The sports stations helped promote active lifestyles.
The event also provided children the opportunity to see law enforcement in a positive light rather than as intimidating figures.
"They can realize that they're just regular people," said Mark Gdowski, sophomore middle distance runner for the track and field team.
Wright said it was important to show the children to exhibit enthusiasm in all aspects of life. The event helped him and five other players on the men's basketball team build a connection with the community and provide a positive example.
"We want to show people we're about something,"
Shaquina Mosley, junior guard on the women's basketball team, said the event was a positive experience because the children put forth efforts in learning a fundamental even if they weren't interested in that particular skill.
Mosley said the event also allowed exposure for the women's basketball program to the children. She said one of the most important parts of the event was providing a positive example for children. She said children typically look up to athletes and the event is a good way for student athletes to contribute to the community.
Mosley and Wright both said it was not difficult to get fellow teammates to wake up early one Saturday morning.
Wright said. "We're not just here to play basketball."
"It's not every Saturday morning that you can work with kids and help the community," Wright said.
"It's really exciting," Mosley said. "These kids are so open-minded and open to anything."

Majority leader faces indictment
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Yet some House Republicans said the fundraising conspiracy case in Texas has plunged DeLav back into the GOP pack.
The Texas Republican known for keeping colleagues in line and raising prodigious amounts of cash to help elect GOP candidates said he is only guilty of working to defeat Democrats. "But that's not illegal," he said.
WASHINGTON — A defiant Tom DeLay, removed as House majority leader because of a criminal indictment, said Sunday he can do his job even without the title and pledged to continue his close partnership with House Speaker Dennis Hastert in pushing the GOP's agenda.
DeLay was charged Wednesday with conspiring with two political associates to use corporate donations to support Texas legislative candidates. House rules require any member of the elected leadership to step down temporarily if indicted.
"He's lost his office. He's lost his staff. And he's now basically a rank-and-file member who has a lot of friends and will still have influence," said Connecticut Rep. Christopher Shays, a moderate Republican.
Democrats said their party stands to gain if DeLay asserts himself in the Republican leadership and the GOP embraces him. "I hope they continue to let him go out and say just what he's saying," said Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who joined Shays on CNN's "Late Edition."
Shays acknowledged he has not been comfortable with DeLay as the No. 2 House GOP leader, citing "continual acts that border and go sometimes beyond the ethical edge. They may not be illegal, but he's always pushing that ethical edge to the limit."
He has said he has done nothing wrong, called the indictment "a sham," and denounced the Democratic prosecutor who pursued the case as a "partisan fanatic."
DeLay told "Fox News Sunday" he expected to dispense quickly with the charges and will serve as a close adviser to Hastert, R-III., in promoting an agenda that includes lowering gas prices, cutting taxes and enforcing immigration laws.
"get to continue my partnership with the speaker." DeLay said.
"The speaker and I have been leading the House for, what, eight years now. It's because we get along together, we think the same. We are simpatico," DeLay said.
Asked whether he would return to the GOP leadership, DeLay said, "Well, I hope so. I can do my job with or without the title. That doesn't concern me."
The indictment from a grand jury in Austin, Texas, charged that conspirators carried out a fundraising scheme by having the DeLay-founded Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee send corporate money to the Republican National Committee in Washington. The RNC then sent back a like amount — $190,000
But GOP Rep. David Dreier of California, the House Rules Committee chairman initially recommended to take over many of DeLay's duties, said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that DeLay "knows he's not going to run things."
— to distribute to Texas candidates.
DeLay said he allowed his name to be used for fundraisers and participated in several of them, but vehemently denied knowing about or intending any illegal activity. Instead, he asked that associates consult with lawyers to make sure their activity was proper, DeLay said.

Topeka mayor says he's offended by Hallmark's 'CSI: Topeka' card
TOPEKA — A birthday card produced by Hallmark bears the title "CSI: Topeka" and features a cartoon of two people standing over a corpse, with one saying, "Looks like he was bored to death."
PEKA - A birthday card
Though a company spokeswoman says Hallmark didn't intend to offend anyone, Mayor Bill Bunten wasn't laughing when he learned about the card.
"I find it offensive," Bunten told TheTopeka Capital-Journal. "It's probably drawn up by somebody from West Virginia who hasn't been here."
The card refers to popular television dramas about forensics experts who investigate crimes, set in Las Vegas, Miami and New York. Inside the card is the message, "Hope your birthday is anything but dull."
Spokeswoman Kristi Ernsting said Hallmark began marketing the "CSI: Topeka" greeting card in April as part of a humorous "hot off the press" line focusing on timely topics in pop culture.

BOATING ACCIDENT
FACTORIAL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sgt. Steven Stackdale kneels near the victims of the capsized Ethan Allen tour boat on Sunday afternoon at the staging point at Lake George, N.Y. The Shoreline Cruises boat, carrying 47 senior citizens, capsized Sunday afternoon off Cramer Point on Lake George. At least 21 people died.
Glass-enclosed boat capsizes; 21 dead
BY CHRIS CAROLA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. — A glass-enclosed boat carrying tourists on a senior citizens' cruise overturned Sunday on a calm lake in upstate New York, killing at least 21 people and sending more than two dozen cold and wet passengers to a hospital.
The 40-foot Ethan Allen capsized around 3 p.m. on Lake George about 50 miles north of Albany, N.Y. in the Adirondack Mountains.
Authorities were investigating whether a large passing tour boat created a wake that caused the accident, Warren County Sheriff Larry Cleveland said.
The accident apparently happened so fast that none of the passengers was able to put on a life jacket, Cleveland said.
Patrol boats that reached the scene within minutes found other boaters already pulling people from the water. All passengers had been accounted for within two hours.
Twenty-seven people were taken to a hospital in nearby Glens Falls. Some suffered broken ribs and some complaining of shortness of breath. Five people were to be admitted, hospital snokesman Jason White said.
Police investigators were at the hospital late Sunday.
Dorothy Warren, a resident who said she brought blankets and chairs to shore for survivors, said one passenger told her "she saw a big boat coming close and she said, 'Whoop-deedoo. I love a rocking boat.'"
Warren said the woman did not know how she got out of the water but said her mother was killed.
Many of the bodies were laid out along the shore, and the site was blocked off by police with tarps. A hearse, police vehicles and several sport utility vehicles later began taking the dead from the scene.
At the time of the accident, the weather was clear and in the 70s at Lake George, a long narrow body of water that is a popular tourist destination.

BOMBINGS
Indonesia raises alert level after attacks
BY CHRIS BRUMMITT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALI, Indonesia — Police raised the alert level for Indonesia's capital and the president warned of more attacks Sunday as a chilling video shot the day before showed a suspected bomber clutching a backpack and strolling past diners moments before one of three suicide bombings killed
26 people on Bali.
The near-simultaneous bombings on the resort island also injured 101 people, including six Americans.
The attacks apparently were planned by Southeast Asia's two most-wanted men, who are believed to be connected to an al-Qaida-linked group, said Maj. Gen. Ansaaya Mbai, a top Indonesian anti-terror official.
Fear of more attacks on tourists prompted Israel to warn its citizens Sunday not to travel to Egypt's Sinai desert during the upcoming month of Jewish holidays, saying it has information that Arab militants planning strikes against Israelis already are located in the resort area.
The alleged masterminds of the Bali attacks were believed to be Azahari bin Husin and Noor-
din Mohamed Top, both Malaysians who fled to Indonesia after a crackdown on militants following the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said.
The masterminds were not among the suspected bombers, whose remains were found at the scenes, officials said. All three bombers were believed to be wearing belts of explosives, police said.

EDITORIAL
A job well done, Mr. Shulenburger
In his 12 years of administrative service to the University of Kansas, David Shulenburger has been an exceptional vice chancellor, provost, and executive vice chancellor.
He has led many positive changes that took place at the University since 1993.
PAGE 5A
He has shown he cares about learning, students,and faculty through his tuition enhancement plan, which allowed the University to raise student and faculty salaries, and make many improvements to libraries and technology.
During his tenure, the University received the Paul Simons award for being one of only five universities that stress an international education. This increased numbers of study abroad students, and an international curriculum.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and the KU Writing Center opened on his
watch, giving academic help and advice to many students who were just getting aquainted with the university life.
The University also found itself among the top 20 universities for "effective educational success," as published in the 2005 "Student Success in College" book, while Shulenburger was here.
During his term, the University has doubled its funding for research, and received many major grants. In the past three years, the University has accumulated $40 million for two National Science Foundation centers.
Besides his emphasis on the people and education at the University, he has made sure the University has the means to run smoothly after he leaves.
Shulenburger has also showed his enthusiasm for furthering education through research.
University property by acquiring Smith Hall. He also overseen additions to the University such as the $40 million Multidisciplinary Research Building on west campus and the Life Sciences Research Laboratory at 15th Street and Wakarusa Drive.
He has helped enhance
He has also hired and mentored many deans. Kim Wilcox and Sally Frost, both former deans of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences came and left during his tenure.
He has shown his passion for people at the University, learning, and the University's legacy through his years as an administrator.
The editorial board commends him on a job very well, and wish him the best of luck in the years to come.
Also, Toni-Marie Montgomery, former dean of the School of Fine Arts, was hired.
Anne Weltmer for the editorial board.
Oversensitivity blocks game
STAND UP!
Just less than 1,000 KU students are from Illinois. I am one of those students and the game that I have been waiting for since I arrived on this campus in 2003 will never happen thanks to athletics director, Lew Perkins, Student Senate and what I feel are a few rabble-rousing special interests groups.
What makes me even more irate is that a few people can ruin things for the majority. Kansas should never give in to the voice of a few and accept it as the voice of the majority.
For all those who do not know, the university is not going to schedule any games with schools that have mascots the NCAA has deemed "hostile and offensive" toward Native Americans.
I thought sports were for the fans, but obviously not. The majority of the fans don't even have an opinion on this issue. The administration is being too concerned with its public image rather than good competition.
We live in a democratic nation, but what is happening right now is not democracy. It seems as though the loudest person/group gets heard. Well hear me out, this has got to change!
A while back, a group of Native Americans saw some mascots as demeaning to their culture, and they brought the issue in front of the NCAA.
The NCAA and KU sports are businesses, with television contacts, endorsement deals, merchandise, ticket sales-the whole nine yards.
They are afraid of having a bad image in the eye of the public, which is why as soon
as controversy comes up, it is quickly avoided. It's all to prevent the loss of sponsors.
What about fans being lost? I do not think that is a primary concern to them, even though they say it is all for the fans. Money makes things happen.
Programs like the Williams Fund, which rewards better seats to bigger donors, will show you that.
We buy the merchandise, we go to the games and we are a bigger part of collegiate sports than the people who run them are.
Why do you think in the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge, not one of the mascots has Native American ties?
No Florida State Seminole, no Chief Illiniwik; but, of course, we get Baylor's Bruiser among the top mascots. I do not know many people who watch Baylor athletics.
There's nothing I would rather do than sit down and have a discussion with coach Self on this topic. Even though he is no longer an employee at the University of Illinois, he still has ties to that university and I would almost guarantee that he would like to see a game scheduled between Kansas and Illinois.
I wonder what our basketball coach, Bill Self, former coach at the University of Illinois, would have to say on this issue. I have yet to hear him publicly speak about this topic.
It would be good for the game, and more importantly, good for the fans.
ment needs to be changed. The argument made by some out-spoken Native Americans does not hold water.
A mascot's purpose is to engage the fans, especially the younger ones who are more interested in the mascot than the actual game itself.
I am asking people to voice their opinion on this issue. This scheduling require-
If someone could give me any proof that the University of Illinois was not accepting Native American students, then yes, that would be an injustice.
There is sensitive and then there is over-sensitive, but the line between the two is hard to distinguish. People in daily society have become over-sensitive.
But mascots symbolize school pride, not prejudice.
We have become a society of class action lawsuits.
I realize that I am not the most intellectual person, but I have long realized something that the NCAA and Mr. Perkins have not: No matter what you do or what you say, someone will take offense to it.
And then when she found out that the girl was half-Korean, she shut up really quick.
Two weeks ago, a girl wrote a huge article on how the two people on the "Sex on the Hill" were both white. Hello? We are in Kansas here.
People are just looking for controversy, and I still have not come to understand why. Is it that they need something to argue about?
Peace starts with everyone just relaxing!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Relief not Red
In the Sept. 28 Kansan, Andrew Soukup writes of government efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, "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." Mr. Soukup is a student at a publicly-funded university, as am I.
I wonder why it's okay for students pursuing linguistics or pathology degrees to rely on government handouts, but it's Soviet-style communism for the government to help American citizens whose homes were destroyed in one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
Perhaps in a future letter Mr. Soukup, using his taxpayer-subsidized education, could explain this to me.
♦ Rachel Robson
Baldwin City graduate student
John Stowell Kansas City, KS
The success story amid this disaster is the response of private organizations, and the charity of private citizens. The proper role of the government is limited to keep order to protect people from crime, not to provide relief. Charity requires giving of one's free will, not forced taxation. After all, were you to donate money, would you send it to FEMA or to the Red Cross?
Charity, not taxes
I commend Andrew Soukup on his column on Wednesday. It was a mistake for New Orleans to depend on the federal government to prepare for this disaster. Did the candidates take a position on the levies before the disaster? Of course not, because the voters didn't care on a national level. The people of New Orleans should have elected their local government to prevent this disaster, and the people of New Orleans should have born the cost of improving the levies.
Garlick's viewpoint defeatist, unpatriotic
I read the opinion page in the Kansan every day. I'll admit my favorite part is the Free For All, but I read the articles, too.
When I saw a headline that mentioned my favorite jolly fat man, a cheapskate with a tooth fetish, and a female president, I was reasonably interested. The article was far from what I expected.
Miss Garlick states that there has never been a female president, and never will be. This struck me as pretty screwy.
The first thing I thought was that this was a self-fulfilling prophecy. If women want a female president, but refuse to believe it is possible, women won't
From the way Sara writes the article, it's unclear whether she wants a female president or not, but very clear that she won't lift a finger to make it happen.
Next, I thought "Our forefathers would be disgusted!" That's right. Our country was not built upon doubt and sullen acceptance. Our nation was not created with "it hasn't happened before, and it never will" in mind. No backwater colonies had ever beaten England before, but we did it anyway. What Sara suggests, that women give up and quit, is the opposite of the principles of
the United States.
I'm not saying there will or should be a woman president. Personally, I don't think gender really matters in that regard. What I'm saying is that a quitter's attitude won't make it happen. If you want equality, Sara, do something about it. If you want things to change, you can't advocate women giving perpetual figurative blow jobs.
Of course, being a man, either one works out fine for me, but, pardon the pun, sometimes it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

'Suck factor'on soldiers' minds
BY JOHN MILBURN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT RILEY — Capt. Mike Squires forms up members of "Bandito Charlie" Company and begins a dry run through a training course. "Hop in the war wagon," said Squires, motioning toward the back seat of a desert-brown Humvee.
That Humvee already has been to Iraq. It still carries scars from an IED, or improvised explosive device, that was along a roadside. "It was probably a
155mm artillery shell," Squires adds matter-of-factly. "Fortunately, everybody was all right."
The 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry of the 1st Brigade and the rest of the 1st Infantry Division, the famed "Big Red One," expects to return to Iraq in a few months. It is the second yearlong stint for about 40 percent or more of the soldiers in the brigade.
About 3,400 Fort Riley soldiers currently are in Iraq. Those now training for a second tour don't show much fear about returning.
But some of them talk about the "suck factor" — working long hours, enduring extreme heat and having to take showers with bottled water. Some of them wonder when Iraq's military will be ready to fend for itself.
A top Army official said Thursday that only one Iraqi battalion was capable of combat, dampening hopes that the Americans could be ready to start reducing their numbers.

SUPREME COURT
President mum about nominee
BY DEB RIECHMANN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush is watching his first Supreme Court nominee, Chief Justice John Roberts, take the helm of the high court today while weighing his options for nominating a second justice who also could shape the bench for years to come.
"He's still working," White House chief of staff Andy Card said Sunday about the president's effort to choose a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. "Still considering lots of options."
The White House will not disclose who is on Bush's short list, or hint when an announcement will be made.
Legal experts who are in touch with administration officials say the president is most likely to choose a woman to replace O'Connor, even though many of the often-mentioned candidates are white men.
There continues to be talk in legal circles that he could pick one of three longtime Bush loyalists: White House counsel Harriet Miers, the first women president of the Texas State Bar and Bush's former personal attorney; Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Bush's longtime friend, who would be the first Hispanic on the court; and corporate lawyer Larry Thompson, who was the government's highest ranking black law enforcement official when he was deputy attorney general during Bush's first term.
Other candidates mentioned most frequently in recent days include conservative federal appeals court judges J. Michael Lutig, Priscilla Owen, Karen Williams, Alice Batchelder and Samuel Alito; Michigan Supreme Court justice Maura Corrigan; and Maureen Mahoney, a well-respected litigator before the high court.
Justice Stephen Breyer, when asked if he thought Bush should appoint another woman, deflected the question, replying, "For me to talk about the appointment process is a little bit like ... seeing the recipe for chicken a la King from the point of view of the chicken."
Appearing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Breyer said, "We're a big country, and there are people of many different points of view, and it's helpful, not harmful, to have a court made up of people of diverse backgrounds, points of view and so forth."
today, Bush is going to the Supreme Court for a formal ceremony at which Roberts, who was confirmed by the Senate 78-22 and sworn in at the White House on Thursday, assumes the role of chief justice. Following tradition, Roberts will don his robe for the first time and take the center seat last held by the late former Chief Justice William H. Rehquist.

Mangino maintains control of team
LUBBOCK, Texas — One could criticize Mark Mangino for a lot of what went wrong Saturday.
After having two weeks to prepare for Texas Tech, the Kansas football coach's defensive game plan was ripped to shreds on the game's opening drive.
PAGE 1B
Everything that could possibly go wrong for the Jayhawks did in the first half — an interception returned for a touchdown was called back because of an illegal block, and a fourth-down conversion was taken away after the replay official decided that Kansas was wrongly given a few extra inches on a spot. Facing a 20-point halftime deficit, Mangino convinced the Jayhawks to stick together and fight back against a team that is known for destroying opponents at home.
But for all of Mangino's shortcomings on Saturday, he proved one thing: he has complete control of his team.
Later, after a Texas Tech field goal, on the first play following the ensuing kick-off, the Kansas offense committed a delay of game penalty and then was whistled for a false start. When the Jayhawks finally got their play off — on first and 20 from the 10-yard line — senior quarterback Brian Luke made an errant pitch that found its way into the end zone. The Red Raiders fell on the football for a no-work-needed touchdown.
Mangino's musical chair-like quarterback rotation was also baffling. Especially because each one looked completely lost on the field.
Nebraska and TCU, for example, both left Lubbock with 70 Texas Tech points on the scoreboard last year. Texas Tech hung 59 points on Texas A&M two years ago.
Not only did the Jayhawks make it a game in the second half, but they were within one play of taking control of the contest.
But Kansas refused to pack it in and stayed within striking distance until falling by 13.
"Hats off to our defense. We were there at the end," senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said. "A couple plays here and there, things might have gone the other way."
Late in the third quarter, Kansas had an open path to the end zone on a Texas Tech fumble, but when sophomore defensive tackle Eric Butler went to pick up the ball, his knee touched the ground, ending the play. Kansas eventually settled for a field goal.
Jayhawks would have had momentum firmly on their side.
A touchdown would have pulled Kansas to within 6 points, at 27-21, and the
As it turned out, Kansas still had a shot in the fourth quarter, but every time the defense handed the offense a golden opportunity to mount a serious challenge, it couldn't get over the hump.
Luke threw an interception on the first play of a drive with Kansas at midfield trailing by only 10 points with more than 10 minutes remaining.

FOOTBALL: 30-17
Offense can't play catch-up
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
LUBBOCK, Texas — The Kansas defense did all it could Saturday to get a victory against No. 16 Texas Tech, but it was the Kansas offense that struggled en route to a 30-17 loss, dropping the team's record to 3-1.
The offense managed little more than two yards per play in the first half. Kansas was down 20-0 at half-time after accumulating 82 yards of offense in the first half.
83
"If you come down here in Lubbock, and your defense can keep you within 23 points, your offense has to score more points," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "That's what we didn't get done the way that we would have liked."
The offense had three turnovers, including a fumble that resulted in a Texas Tech touchdown. Senior quarterback Brian Luke ran an option and pitched the football to senior running back Clark Green. The pitch got away from Green, allowing Texas Tech to recover in the end zone and gain a 17-0 lead.
Mangino used three quarterbacks in the game, yet none were able to get the Kansas offense moving.
"I didn't think we were crisp at all in the pass game." Mangino said. "If it wasn't a misfire, it was a drop. If it wasn't a drop, it was not a really well-run route. Those are correctable things and we will get those things corrected."
Luke started the game, but was replaced by junior quarterback Adam Barmann for a series in the second
quarter. Mangino said he made the switch to calm Luke down.
Mangino later inserted freshman quarterback Marcus Herford into the lineup to give the offense a spark. None of the quarterback switches moved Kansas down the field.
Kansas wide receiver Mark Simmons makes a touchdown reception in the third quarter of the 30-17 Texas Tech victory Saturday in Lubbock. Texas.
Luke finished 13-for-27 for 109 running yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Barmann was 8-for-10 for 45 yards, while Herford went 0-of-1 passing.
"I think they are capable guys," Mangino said. "But someone is going to have to take charge, or we are going to have to make some decisions."
The Kansas defense, after allowing a touchdown on the first drive of the game, buckled down for the rest of the contest and provided Kansas with good field position.
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said it was a mental problem with the offense when it was not successful.

"It is pretty frustrating," Simmons said. "We know we can do it. We have to continue to do it, just like we do in practice."
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith recovered a fumble and returned it 12 yards to the 11-yard line at the beginning of the second half. Junior running back Jon Cornish then barreled through defenders on a drive for an 11-yard touchdown.
Kansas sustained its only lengthy drive at the end of the third quarter. The Jayhawks drove 73 yards and Luke found Simmons for a touchdown in the back of the end zone. The score put the Jayhawks within 13 at 27-14. Simmons caught four passes on the drive for 39 vards.
While the Jayhawks scored 17 points in the second half, the first of the two touchdowns was clearly because of the KU defense.
Cornish finished the day with 117 yards on 17 carries. It was the second 100-yard rushing game of his career and of the season.
After the opening drive, the KU defense was able to get significant pressure on Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges.
Senior linebacker Brandon Perkins recorded three tackles and a sack.

Weekend loss, tie frustrate Kansas

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas fell to a 500 record after suffering through its most unsuccessful weekend of the year, falling to Iowa State 3-1 on Sunday and going scoreless in a tie with Nebraska on Friday night.
The road loss to the Cyclones made three winless efforts in a row for the Jayhawks, all of which were Big 12 Conference matches.
Kansas (5-5-2, 1-2-1 Big 12) gave up two early goals to Iowa State (7-3-3, 2-1-1 Big 12) within 45 seconds of each other.
"It was a very disappointing game," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "We need to pick it up
and get back on track."
Iowa State forward Amy Flores used her head to push the Cyclones past the Jayhawks. She scored two goals by header for her sixth goal of the season.
The Jayhawks failed to get on the board in the first half. Their only goal came in the 59th minute. Senior forward Nicole Braman drove the ball to the net for the first time this season with freshman forward Jessica Bush and junior defender Holly Gault assisting.
Iowa State was not finished. With less than 10 minutes to play, Iowa State forward Meghan Smith scored her first career goal off Leslie Hill's first career assist.

Runs abound over weekend

For the second consecutive weekend, the Kansas softball team rolled over its opponents to win another tournament and improve its preseason tournament record to 8-0.
Senior pitcher Serena Settlemier was the highlight of the second of three games over the weekend, recording a no-hitter against Northern Colorado. She also went 2-2 from the plate with a home run, double and two RBI in the 8-0 Kansas victory.
In the fourth inning, Settlemier sent a towering shot to left field that barely snuck inside the foul pole for her first home run of the day. She said she always tried to complement her pitching by producing offense.
"I do feel like I've been taking strides," she said. "I always like to help myself out when I'm pitching and hitting and that's
In the third inning. Kansas produced five runs and helped end any chance of a Kangaroo comeback.
The game was stopped in the bottom of the sixth inning when Kansas scored its eight run. The mercy rule stops the game if a team is winning by eight runs or more after the fifth inning.
Playing through the rain, Kansas cruised to a 6-0 victory over UMKC in its first game of the weekend. Junior pitcher Kassie Humphries pitched well, allowing no hits while striking out 12 batters.
Humphreys struck out the side in the fifth inning before rain forced umpires to stop play.
Junior first baseman Nicole Washburn led the offensive attack. Her double with the bases loaded scored three runs and gave the Jayhawks a comfortable lead heading into the fourth inning.
always good so that you can contribute to the team."
Another Kansas home run, this time off the bat of senior second baseman Jessica Moppin, tied the score at two in the bottom of the inning.
Kansas' offense struck first when senior third baseman Nettie Fierros homered to left field in the second inning.
The day's remaining games were postponed until Sunday.
The Jayhawks prevailed 3-2 in a hard-fought contest.
"We knew Washburn was scrappy. It's probably the best team we'll play all fall," Moppin said.
Despite the defense committing three errors, freshman pitcher Valerie George was able to hold Washburn to two runs, both unearned. She struck out nine batters on the way to a complete-game victory.
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with the way George stepped up after starting the game slowly.

Kansas one of 16 schools playing in Battle at the Lake in Tulsa
The Kansas women's golf team will tee off today in the Battle at the Lake tournament in Tulsa, Okla. Oral Roberts University, winner of last year's tournament, will play host to the two-day event at Tulsa's Meadowbrook Country Club.
The Jayhawks will face off against 16 other schools, including University of Texas-EI Paso, Sam Houston State, UMKC and Texas Pan-American.
The Jayhawks did not participate in last year's Battle at the Lake. They are coming off a sixth-place finish at the Ptarmigan Classic on Sept. 13.
"It should be a good tournament and the course is similar to the one we practice on at Alvamar," Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said.
Junior Amanda Costner led the Jayhawks in the Ptarmigan Classic in Fort Collins, Colo. She placed third individually.
Although there are no Big 12 Conference teams participating, O'Neil said she saw this as an opportunity to build momentum during the fall season.

Red Sox capture wild card spot in A.L.; Astros in N.L.
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just when it looked as though the playoff picture might remain muddled for days, everything was settled on the final afternoon of the regular season.
The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros wrapped up the wild cards Sunday, clinching the final two major league playoff spots. All the matchups were set for the 2005 postseason, starting Tuesday with the NL West champion San Diego Padres playing in St. Louis at 1:09 p.m. EDT.
Houston will open Wednesday in Atlanta against the NL East champion Braves, coming off their 14th consecutive division title. It's a rematch of their first-round series last year, won by Roger Clemens and the Astros in five games.
The Phillies did all they could to force a tiebreaker playoff, beating Washington 9-3 for a weekend sweep, but still fell short.
"I'm very thankful. It was some rocky roads, roller-coaster rides throughout the season," pitcher Andy Pettitt said after a 6-4 victory over the Cubs allowed Houston to finish one game ahead of Philadelphia.

TENNIS
Kansas faces tough competition in Indiana
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
The Kansas women's tennis team struggled the in the first two days of the Hoosier Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., this weekend before recovering Sundav.
Five talented tennis teams — Indiana, Kansas State, Louisiana State, Murray State and Notre Dame — gave Kansas solid competition and many long matches over the weekend.
The Hoosier Invitational singles portion had five tournaments or "flights." There are eight competitors per flight.
Sophomore Stephanie Smith scored the only first-round victory for the Jayhawks. She went on to lose in the championship of Flight E in a close match against Maria Perevoschikova of Kansas State 3-6, 6-3, 0-1 (9).
Sophomore Elizaveta Avevea lost all three of her matches in Flight A. Some of the highest
ranked players in collegiate tennis were in Avdeeva's bracket. Coach Amy Hall-Holt said Avdeeva played tough and stayed focused through the toughest bracket in the tournament.
Senior Christine Skoda and freshman Ksenia Bukina both lost their opening matches before winning their next ones in Flight B.
Freshman Edina Horvath fought through a tough opening tie-break loss to win her next match in the same tie-break fashion. She lost in the fifth place match to Sigrid Fischer of Indiana in her third tie-break match of the tournament, 3-6, 6-3, 0-1 (4). Horvath played in Flight C.
Flight D competitors junior Brittany Brown and sophomore Lauren Hommell finished sixth and seventh respectively.
Junior Ashley Filberth finished sixth in Flight E.
Unlike the singles play, the doubles portion of the tournament had one all-inclusive bracket. The draw saw the team of Avdeeva/Bukina finish in the seventh place match, but the match was
scheduled for late in the day and was eventually canceled Horvath/Hornmell earned 10th, the highest Kansas placeer, while Brown/Skoda ended the tournament with two impressive victories to capture 13th place.
The team struggled in the opening day of doubles but rebounded with a strong finish Sunday.
"They played much better," Hall-Holt said. "They beat some really tough teams. I was very proud of the effort."
Hall-Holt said there is room for improvement before the team competes in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional on Oct. 19 in Salt Lake City.
"I felt like we could have come out and competed a little harder," Hall-Holt said. "It's all about the experience in the fall. There is a lot work we need to get done before the spring season starts."
Hall-Holt said the players are willing to step up for the challenging weeks ahead.

Kansas wins, records fall
BY DREW DAVISON

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas volleyball team righted itself in Boulder, defeating Colorado on Saturday night.
The Jayhawks won in five games (30-32, 31-29, 17-30, 34-15, 15-6).
Andi Rozum, senior setter, became the all-time Kansas leader in assists with 4.238 for her career.
Rozum had 65 assists in the match and passed Julie Woodruff by 29. Woodruff played from 1988 to 1991.
"It was awesome to get the win and it's a good feeling all around," Rozum said.
It was the first conference road victory for the Jayhawks this season and improved the team to 12-3 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 play. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said it gave Kansas a legitimate road victory.
Bechard said the team was excited by its performance. Going into the game, Bechard said the team needed to do a better job of passing and serving. The jayhawks were able to improve that aspect of their game.
Kansas was not, however, able to close out the opening game after jumping to a 29-26 lead. The Buffalooes capitalized on the Jayhawks' hitting errors and serving miscues to take the first set. The Jayhawks hit .118 in the first game allowing the Buffalooes an opportunity to come back.
Kansas bounced back nicely to win game two. After trailing 25-28, the Jayhawks rallied to win the set, 31-29. Kansas' increased hitting efficiency, 271, helped the Jayhawks tie the match on one-game a piece.
Colorado tried to run away with the match in game three. Colorado won by a substantial margin, 13, with a match-high .536 hitting percentage. Colorado was able to hold Kansas to a .129 hitting percentage in the victory. Colorado's Nicole Carr, senior outside hitter, and Allie Griffin, senior right side hitter, both reached milestones in the loss. Carr recorded her 1,000th-career dig and Griffin got her 1,000th-career kill.
Kansas was able to re-establish itself in game four. Sophomore outside hitter Emily Brown and senior outside hitter Paula Caten had consecutive kills that led the Jayhawks to win the set. The team hit 326 in game four and forced game five.
Kansas ran away with the deciding game, winning 15-6. The Jayhawks ended the game on a 4-0 run for their first conference road
victory.
"We played really well in the fifth game," senior middle blocker Josi Lima said.
Next up, Kansas takes on instate rival No. 16 Kansas State t at 7 p.m., Wednesday night in the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. K-State swept No. 23 Texas A&M.

Rowers Jen Ebel and Jelayna Da Silva walked away from this weekend's regatta in Oklahoma City, Okla., with a smile.
"It was a hard race," Ebel said.
Ebel placed second in the women's open single and Da Silva placed third.

Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said the focus of practice this week would be on keeping the fitness level up and improving techniques.
"Our main competitor is Texas so we went out to beat them and we did," Da Silva said.
"I think we've improved a lot from last year. I was really pleased and I know everyone is really excited." Da Silva said
Many women tested their abilities by competing in multiple races this weekend.
The Kansas rowers held up to the pressure because nearly all the girls received a medal.
"We definitely need to keep
working on our strength and speed up our times," Ebel said. "We'll have to just keep working hard."

Hall ties record with 10th kick-off return
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's Dante Hall tied an NFL record with his six career kickoff-return touchdown, a 96-yard in the second quarter Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After Philadelphia's Sheldon Brown scored on a 40-yard interception return, Hall took the ensuing kickoff at his own 4-yard line and started left. He cut
back right, sliced through traffic near midfield and eluded a last-ditch dive by new kicker Todd France at Philadelphia's 40 on his way to the end zone for a 24-6 lead.
It was the 10th kick-return touchdown of Hall's career, his first since a 97-yard kickoff return against Denver on Dec. 19, 2004.
Hall now shares the kickoff return record with Ollie Matson, Gale Sayers, Travis Wilson and Mel Gray.

Tech quarterback a hit
Defense rattles Cody Hodges with sacks and knock-downs
BY RYAN COLAIANNE
colaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges took so many hits during Saturday's victory against Kansas that he's not sure about his current physical shape.
"I really don't think I'll be able to get up tomorrow morning." Hodges said.
"It seemed like every play I was getting knocked down and had to get picked up off the turf."
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the plays by Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges were the reason Texas Tech won 30-17.
Mangino said he was specifically impressed by Hodges' response to the pressure from the Kansas defense.
"He is a tough kid. We knocked him down, sacked him, got after him all night
The Jayhawks sacked Hodges five times,but he was hit many other times just as he released the ball.
and he just kept competing and making plays," Mangino said.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was impressed by the pressure Kansas put on Hodges. "They sort of hung up a punching bag on Cody Hodges," Leach said of the Kansas defense.
Senior linebacker Brandon Perkins was one of those "punching" Hodges, recording a sack.
"We hit him with whatever we had, and he had a lot of heart as he kept getting up. You have to give him a lot of credit," Perkins said.
The Kansas defense blitzed often and was able to get in Hodges' face on seemingly every play.
Hodges managed to throw for more than 300 yards for the fourth straight game this season.
He wasn't always able to find the end zone, but he was still happy with the victory.
"It is disappointing we had only two touchdowns and all of the field goals," Hodges said. "I would rather have an ugly win than a pretty loss," however.
Hodges was not only successful throwing the football into the Jayhawk secondary, but he was also able to use his legs to get first downs for Texas Tech.
The five sacks negated Hodges' rushing totals, but he was able to score a rushing touchdown on a five-yard run in the third quarter.
Still, Hodges didn't put up the big touchdown numbers that he had in his last three games, he had 12 coming into the game.
Mangino said while Hodges may have had only one touchdown, he did a great job of getting crucial first downs when it mattered most in the second half.

Fumble recovery key play
Key Plays:
On third and seven from the 30-yard line during Texas Tech's first drive of the game, Hodges had nowhere to pass but was able to run for a 14-yard gain to keep the drive alive. Hodges later hit junior wide receiver Jarrett Hicks on a four-yard touchdown pass.
Pinned inside their own 10-yard line in the second quarter because of two penalties, senior quarterback Brian Luke pitched the football to senior running back Clark Green. The pitch was behind Green and Texas Tech recovered in the end zone.
While on the 30-yard line, facing a third and four, Luke was on the run looking for junior cornerback Charles Gordon, however he underthrew him and the ball was intercepted. It was Texas Tech's first interception of the year.
On the next play, senior safety Rodney Fowler intercepted Hodges after the pass was tipped by junior safety Jerome Kemp. Fowler took the interception into the end zone for what appeared to be a touchdown, however an illegal block below the waist negated the touchdown and put the Jayhawks at the Texas
Tech 31-yard line. Junior Adam Barmann began the next possession at quarterback and the Jayhawks were unsuccessful on a 51-yard field goal attempt by sophomore punter Kyle Tucker.
Kev Stats:
Just 82 yards of total offense in the first half. The Kansas defense allowed 23 points, the other seven coming off a fumble by the offense.
The Jayhawks racked up their most penalties of the season; nine penalties for 95 yards.

Fans bash Lubbock

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
LUBBOCK, Texas — When Jayhawk fans take road trips to support their team, they often pick glamorous destinations such as Austin, Texas, or Boulder, Colo., — certainly not Lubbock, Texas.
The KU fans who filled the two smallest sections of the Jones SBC Stadium were a mix of family members, alumni who live in west Texas and die-hard fans.
Among attendees, the city drew comparisons to another Big 12 Conference locale.
"It's almost worse than Manhattan," KU student Blake Ferrel said. "Only almost, though."
What's there to do when in Lubbock? "Keep going," advised a gas station attendant in Amarillo, Texas, which is two hours north of Lubbock.
The city is located along the west Texas plains, which offer vast expanses of nothingness as far as the eve can see.
Drivers are guided by a string of high school football stadiums that light the way, with Jones SBC Stadium in Lubbock towering over them all.
Football is king in this part of

the country, which explains why the stadium will soon expand to more than 62,000 seats.
The stadium currently holds 53,000 fans.
The city is dry, meaning no liquor stores exist within city limits.
That didn't put a damper on tailing.
Open fields near the stadium quickly filled up with cars and grills, including a tent for the lavhawk fans.
"We are going on all the road trips this year," said Mike Davis, senior vice president of the KU Alumni Association.
"This is the first time the alumni association has done that." He said he expected 70 to 75 people to stop by the tent, which held its own with the Red Raider parties in every category except attendance.
For most Jayhawk fans, a 12-hour drive was just too much, but for Gary McCullough and Kyle Beran, it meant a game they could attend.
McCullough and Beran live in the Midland, Texas, area, just two hours south of Lubbock.
"It isn't always easy to follow the team, because they don't put any of the games on TV," Beran said. "We can follow basketball, because all those games are televised."
"The two enjoyed the area and said that residents were friendly.
For McCullough, it was a big difference from growing up in Los Angeles.
"I think Midwesterners in general are just very cordial," he said.
Davis and the alumni association travelers will get another opportunity to see another part of the state next month, when the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, to play the Longhorns.
"We'll have a lot of people at the Texas game," Davis said. "People perceive Austin as having more to do."

I have a riddle for you, Karl. Why would a man have a box of open condoms in his car if his wife were on birth control?
"I meditate a lot, but I am constantly in pain," Horn, of the famed duo "Siegfried & Rov" told the Las Vegas Sun.
Today is the second anniversary of the attack; It's also his 61st birthday.
Horn can now walk unaided for short distances, and the grip of his right hand is noticeably firm. But signs of the attack remain: A thin white scar cuts across the right side of his neck, his left side is partially paralyzed and his walk is a slow shuffle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
for Monday, Oct. 3, 2005: A Solar Eclipse on your birthday heralds major changes in your life. You have more control than you realize, especially if you don't fight the inevitable. Many work might be questioning their career choices and want to make an adjustment. Do. If male, you could find that you are going through a mini identity crisis. If female, you could find your views about the key man or men in your life changing. If you are single, you might decide that it's time to settle down. You will have your choice of suitors. If you are attached, you might find that you want to transform your bond in some way. LIBRA understands where you are coming from.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ The Solar Eclipse opposite your sign could be particularly poignant if you are within a week of your half-birthday right now. Other Rams still might feel its impact in one month, three months and six months. Interpersonal ties are about to transform
— ultimately for the better! Tonight:
Be available.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★ You might feel that your energy is
off no matter what you do or what you take on. You can make this a problem or simply flow with the moment. Be sensitive to those in your daily life. The Eclipse could hit them hard. Tonight: Yes, be a coach potato.
GEMINI (Mav 21-.June 20)
★★★ Whether your creativity and imagination have been high or low, today's Solar Eclipse heralds a transformation in your creative product. If you are single, a love affair could tap you on the shoulder in the next few months. Offspring could also act up. Tonight: Enjoy your life.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★ You are the sign of home and family. Today's Eclipse will stimulate the domestic area of your chart. You will find that much goes on within your personal life in the next few months. Some might make an investment in real estate. Tonight: Head home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Whether you realize it or not, you might be changing your daily patterns in the next few months. Some might choose a new, zipty car; others could choose a simpler item. You will ultimately feel very good with this
transformation. Tonight: Hang out; swap the day's tales.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**** Use extreme caution with your finances in the next few months. You could experience some dramatic financial changes, from winning the lottery to having a big bill drop on you. Someone might take advantage of you. Tonight: Pay bills.
LIBRA (Sent. 23-Oct. 22)
***** Today's Eclipse in your sign might be particularly powerful for those born within a week of today. A career change or an adjustment in a relationship becomes a strong possibility in the following months. If you feel drained, slow down. Tonight: Play it according to how you feel.
★★ Investigate more of your feelings.
Sometimes you suppress your emotions.
Get more in touch with your inner self. Think about processing things in a new way. You are more open than you realize. Tonight: Do some soul-searching.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
commitments might not be what you want to do in the next few months, but it will be one of your major concerns. You might decide to broaden your horizons and somehow change your circle of friends. Tonight. Find your pals.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ You might want to consider how much of a commitment you would like to make to your work or to community involvement. You will make changes soon enough, either getting more responsibility or choosing more free time. Tonight: Out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Fake IDs threaten bar
BY STEVE LYNN
:lynn@kansan.com
KANSAN WORK WRITER
The line that normally allows only a slow trickle of patrons inside The Hawk on weekends was nonexistent about 11:30 p.m. Friday, as patrons sporadically entered the nearly empty bar.
The bar, 1340 Ohio St., has had 17 alcohol-related violations in two-and-a-half years, said coowner Tom Devlin. Devlin and his partner John Heleniak could soon have their liquor license revoked.
"There are rumors out there that Tom and I are in jail and the bar's closed." Heleniak said.
Evidence about minor-in
possession citations issued by Lawrence Police Department and Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control officers at The Hawk was presented at a hearing last week.
One violation could result in a fine of up to $1,000 and a suspension or revocation of an establishment's liquor license, said Brad Burke, assistant attorney general at the ABC.
Burke would not comment on why The Hawk had stayed open so long with so many violations.
Heleniak said The Hawk paid a $10,000 fine for three minor-inpossession violations two-and-a-half years ago.
Two months could pass before Groneman makes a decision, Burke said.
Burke said if the judge, ABC
Burke would not comment on specific details of the case.
Director Tom Groneman, ruled against The Hawk, its owners could appeal the decision.
Heleniak, owner since 1998, said he and Devlin would spend as much money as needed to save their license. Heleniak and Devlin said they disputed the part of Kansas law that says a bar cannot "unknowingly permit the possession or consumption of alcoholic liquor or cereal malt beverage by a minor."
Fake IDs can be difficult to catch,
Devlin said. Every ID in question
had a picture of the person who presented the ID to bouncers.
"It's only fair if the person knows they sold to a minor," Heleniak said.
Devlin said The Hawk still has a good compliance rate, the ABC's measurement of how often minors are turned away.

"Everyone thinks we are closed but we're not," said John Heleniak, co-owner of The Hawk. in response to the rumor that The Hawk. The bar is now closed because of the recent violations for serving to minors. Heleniak and co-owner Tom Devlin said they would take whatever measures were needed to secure the bar's liquor license.

Marchiony said the other two players who went to Perkins were not kicked off the team after talking to him. Perkins knew about the shower incident and addressed Bunge before the players approached him, Marchiony said.
Marchiony said Vasquez was removed from the team because of misconduct regarding assistant coach Jennifer Sewell's e-mail account.

Vasquez filed five complaints to the KU Equal Opportunity Office, one of them claiming sexual harassment was involved in the incident, Marchiony said.

Marchiony said Bunge had players shower in their uniforms, in order to motivate them after a loss. The 1996 Olympic softball team used a similar tactic. Marchiony said.
Albert Lopes, Vasquez's attorney, did not return calls seeking comment over the weekend.
Sewell borrowed Vasquez's computer last semester and did not sign out adequately to prevent anyone from accessing her account, Marchiony said. He said Vasquez then accessed Sewell's e-mail and read e-mails about players and coaches, and that's why she was kicked off the team.

Marchiony said Vasquez stated in the lawsuit she was removed from the team in retaliation for her and two other teammates talking to Athletics Director Lew Perkins about an incident with Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge.
Melissa Cooper uses two prescription drugs every day.
Instead of stopping by Watkins Memorial Health Center or Walgreens pharmacy, Cooper renews her prescriptions via the Internet. Cooper, Philadelphia freshman, said she used the Internet for refills because it was cheaper and more convenient.
"It's easier for me just to go online and refill it, and then it just comes to you in the mail," Cooper said.
A 2004 National Consumers League study of 1,013 Americans 18-and-over said 15 percent of the respondents bought drugs online and one-third had done so without a prescription.

Since 2000, the FDA has investigated more than 20 cases of counterfeit prescriptions every year, the NCL study found. In the 1990s, the FDA investigated an average of five counterfeit cases per year.
Cooper said she was not worried about counterfeit drugs because she used Caremark.com, which is recommended by her
insurance company. She was required to send in her prescription and fill out paperwork before becoming eligible to refill her prescription online.
Regardless of the dangers, more Americans are buying from the Internet. IMS Consulting, a firm that provides analysis and intelligence on the pharmaceutical industry, estimated that
online sales totaled $407 million in 2003, up from $160 million the year before.

Orchards Drug has not seen much change in the amount of business they receive, but Heilman said that was most likely because the demographic that she saw most often was older and less computer savvy.
Heilman said she had received calls from people inquiring about drugs they probably ordered over the Internet; however, she can't help them because she has no personal records and consulting with them would present a liability.

KU begins Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lee Denim Day

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Two speakers will kick off Jayhawk Communication's seventh annual Lee Denim Day for breast cancer awareness at the University of Kansas.
Sheryle D'Amico and Julie Cowdin will speak about breast cancer survival and prevention at 7 p.m. tonight in Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
D'Amico is an oncologist, a physician who studies, diagnoses, and treats cancerous tumors, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and Cowdin is a breast cancer survivor who was treated at LMH.

According to the American Cancer Society,40,000 American women will die this year of breast cancer and it will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
Amy Bainum, Dover senior, said she would attend the speech because she has witnessed firsthand the detrimental effects of
breast cancer and breast cancer will be diagnosed in 200,000 women.
breast cancer.
Her mother was diagnosed in 2002, when Bainum was a senior in high school.
After going through chemotherapy treatment and having both breasts removed, her mother remains alive today, with the cancer in remission.
Watching her mother go through all the treatments was an eye-opening experience because she witnessed her mother lose a body part that society places great emphasis on, Bainum said.
"I learned that being a female isn't just about having breasts, even though we place so much emphasis on it in our society." Bainum said. "It's so much more than that."
Jayhawk Communications, the public relations firm of the KU Public Relations Student Society of America, will sponsor activities to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research this week leading up to Denim Day on Friday.
Group members will pass out information about breast cancer, collect donations and display a memory board for people to remember affected friends and family members. They will have booths Tuesday through Thursday on the lawn in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall, between Watson Library and Wescoe Hall, and at Mrs. E's on Wednesday and Thursday.
Lee National Denim Day occurs on the first Friday of October, which is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It is the nation's largest, single-day fundraiser to support the fight against breast cancer.
Denim Day encourages people nationwide to wear jeans in exchange for a $5 donation
All money collected will go the foundation. , Denim Day has raised $52 million and has been held nationally for 10 years, according to www. komen.org Last year, Jayhawk Communications collected about $1.500.
to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park sophomore and assistant director for Jayhawk Communications, said because most KU students wear jeans anyway, the group wouldn't make people wearing jeans give donations on Friday.
Morgenstern said it was important to bring about awareness to something that is important to many people on campus.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Oct. 3,1937
The University Daily Kansan reported that sophomore Donald Henry had been killed in combat in the Spanish Civil War. Henry had been fighting alongside the leftist Loyalists in Spain against General Francisco Franco's right-wing Nationalists. The incident led to an investigation into what had turned a Dodge City-born
student into a radical. The Loyalists eventually fell, leading to
Franco's fascist regime. It was decided that the Depression-era circumstances had led to increased political radicalism on the college campus. An investigation by the Board of Regents found that while communist groups were active at KU, no staff or faculty had actively supported the ideology.
Oct. 3, 1946
Smith Hall (not the religious studies building), a Mormon house of worship, was converted into living quarters for roughly 100 male KU students. This arrangement lasted two years. The housing shortage was the result of former World War II soldiers returning home to take advantage of the GI Bill. The living conditions in the hall were greatly similar to barracks conditions. After its usefulness expired, the building was returned to the Mormon Church. Currently, the St. John campus of Lawrence Catholic School stands on
the grounds.

More than 800 female students rallied for female residence halls at the University. Originally, the school did not operate its own residence halls, and students were forced to find their own lodging.
making appropriate toughness was often more difficult for women because many people thought women required more emotional support and supervision than men. Alberta Corbin, a German professor at KU, represented the faculty in the mission to secure quality housing for female students. The students and faculty searched for support and raised money. In 1923, Corbin Hall was opened
housing 107 women, a social director and a house manager.

Oklahoma student identified as person killed in blast
EXPLOSION

NORMAN, Okla. — A University of Oklahoma student was identified Sunday as the person who was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium, authorities said Sunday.
The body is thought to be that of Joel Henry Hinrichs III, 21, according to a news release from Salvador Hernandez, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma. A student telephone book lists Hinrichs with a permanent address in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Hinrichs was killed when an explosive device detonated around 8 p.m. Saturday near Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where more than 84,000 people were watching Oklahoma play Kansas State in a Big 12 Confer-
There were no other reports of injuries and OU President David Boren said spectators were never in danger.
Officers cordoned off an area west of the stadium and no one was allowed to leave the stadium immediately after the blast. Spectators who wanted to leave were allowed to go about 30 minutes later.
Boren initially said a police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast, but later said further investigation determined that the second detonation was done by the bomb squad to ensure there was not a second device.
Investigators have no information to suggest there is any additional threat posed by others related to the explosion, Hernandez said.
New cast tries out for Rock Chalk

A new organization could grab a piece of the spotlight in this year's Rock Chalk Revue.
The scholarship halls have formed a group and plan to audition for a chance to perform in the March show.
Kansan file photo
Rock Chalk is open to anyone in a housing group, but has become associated primarily with Greek organizations. The scholarship halls last participated three years ago.
"There is a pride element," said Emily Copeland, McPherson freshman. "We can show off our talents just like our peers" in greek chapters.
The group will audition against 10 groups of Greek chapters.
Lindsay Eagle, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said the learning experience would benefit the halls in the long run.
A board of six individuals with backgrounds in performing arts was created to produce the 20-minute performance.
"No matter what the outcome, this will be the first step," she said. "We can improve in the years to come."

Nicole Kansier, Lincoln, Neb., senior and executive producer for Rock Chalk, said having a group outside of the Greek community would help increase ticket sales and benefit the United Way.
She said she would like to see the scholarship halls continue their involvement in the future.
"I'm glad this year is going to be different and I hope this becomes a tradition." she said.
Delta Gamma's Michelle Gates, then Omaha freshman, and Pi Kappa Phi's Jason Murray, then Leawood senior, rehearse for their play "Double Booked" last semester at the Lied Center. Scholarship halls are participating in this year's Rock Chalk Revue, March 9-11, for the first time in three years.
The scholarship hall board has worked to meet weekly deadlines before the final deadline on Nov. 4. The group will put together a script complete with lyrics, choreography, character sketches and a compact disc with songs for the Rock Chalk directors. The five groups selected will be announced Nov. 21.
"It's a little nerve-racking. It's a lot of work but I really enjoy it," she said.
Copeland said she spent between six and 10 hours last week preparing lyrics for the musical portion of the show.
With little previous experience with Rock Chalk, the board pulled out yearbooks, videos and notebooks from years past to get an idea of what exactly goes into preparing for the performance. Each group usually puts in more than 100 hours to prepare before being selected to perform in the show itself.
While only a freshman, Cope
land said she had just as much knowledge about Rock Chalk as the senior members.
"We had to start totally from scratch. I've learned everything from the beginning." she said.
This year's Rock Chalk, themed 'Breaking Through,' will take place March 9 through 11.

The national organization of Sigma Nu fraternity revoked the charter of its University of Kansas chapter about a month ago.
Justin Lindsay, Overland Park senior and member of Friends Inc., said making sure the group took the proper steps and was able to reorganize was important to the members of Friends Inc. and Kappa Delta.
"It was important that we not ditch out on them." he said.
Friends Inc. can participate because Rock Chalk is open to any housing group on campus.
As part of the restructuring, the men had to adopt a new name and come up with a list of members, and select a president ad vice president.
Members of Kappa Delta were devastated to learn Sigma Nu

She said she was happy the men made the effort to continue its participation.

New University logo has Pennsylvania twin
The new logo unveiled by the University of Kansas earlier this year bears a marked similarity to one used by a smaller Pennsylvania university that also calls itself KU.
Kutztown University, located in Kutztown, an eastern Pennsylvania community northwest of Philadelphia, has been using its current logo for about two years — and it cost a lot less than Kansas paid for the one it unveiled earlier this year.
KU KU
The Associated Press
The University of Kansas paid more than $88,000 for its logo, left. Kutztown University paid $20,000 for its logo, right.
Both logos feature the letters "K" and "U" in a variation of the Trajan font. There are differences
— the Kutztown version is thinner and more stylized, with the
extension of the "K" swooping almost across the full width of the "U." The Kansas logo has a "K" that is extended just barely underneath the left side of the "U."
The Kutztown version has a larger "K" whose upper left branch extends over and a bit above the left side of the "U."
Also, the tops of both letters are on the same plane in the Kansas version.
"They're distinguishable, but they're also easily confusable." Kutztown University's director of university relations, Phillip
Breeze, told the Lawrence Journal-World after being asked to look at an online version of the Kansas logo.
"I don't see the two schools getting in a battle," Breeze said. "But if we don't police it, then it becomes public domain and we're both hurting then. I just think we need to have the legal people chew on this bone."
David Johnston, director of marketing at Kansas, said he doubted anyone would confuse the two schools.

It's all about the skills
Wright and nearly 75 other student athletes participated in the second annual "Hawks, Cops and Kids" event Saturday morning at Anschutz Sports Pavilion, sponsored by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County, local law enforcement and the Kansas Athletics Department.

Kansas basketball player Julian Wright willingly let his competition win for once.
"They're having fun, that's what it's all about." he said.
The event taught nearly 165 children between the ages of 8 and 10 about avoiding drugs and alcohol and living healthy lifestyles.
Shots swished through the net from all around the basket. The 9-year-old competition was barely waist high on the 6-foot-8 freshman forward, but all Wright could do was smile.
"I think the whole event is great," said Becki Carl-Stutz, Big Brothers/Big Sisters event coordinator.
"It's really important for all the kids to hear and understand what the law enforcement is saying."
"They can realize that they're just regular people," said Mark Gdowski, sophomore middle distance runner for the track and field team.
Police officers provided information on safety and the dangers of drugs and alcohol at different interactive stations. The student athletes taught fundamentals of several sports, including football, basketball and track. The sports stations helped promote active lifestyles.
The event also provided children the opportunity to see law enforcement in a positive light rather than as intimidating figures.
Wright said it was important to show the children to exhibit enthusiasm in all aspects of life. The event helped him and five other players on the men's basketball team build a connection with the community and provide a positive example.
"We want to show people we're about something,"
Wright said. "We're not just here to play basketball."
Shaquina Mosley, junior guard on the women's basketball team, said the event was a positive experience because the children put forth efforts in learning a fundamental even if they weren't interested in that particular skill.
"It's really exciting," Mosley said. "These kids are so open-minded and open to anything."
Mosley said the event also allowed exposure for the women's basketball program to the children. She said one of the most important parts of the event was providing a positive example for children. She said children typically look up to athletes and the event is a good way for student athletes to contribute to the community.
Mosley and Wright both said it was not difficult to get fellow teammates to wake up early one Saturday morning.
POLITICS
"It's not every Saturday morning that you can work with kids and help the community," Wright said.
Majority leader faces indictment
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A defiant Tom DeLay, removed as House majority leader because of a criminal indictment, said Sunday he can do his job even without the title and pledged to continue his close partnership with House Speaker Dennis Hastert in pushing the GOP's agenda.
The Texas Republican known for keeping colleagues in line and raising prodigious amounts of cash to help elect GOP candidates said he is only guilty of working to defeat Democrats. "But that's not illegal," he said.
Yet some House Republicans said the fundraising conspiracy case in Texas has plunged DeLay back into the GOP pack.
"He's lost his office. He's lost his staff. And he's now basically a rank-and-file member who has a lot of friends and will still have influence," said Connecticut Rep. Christopher Shays, a moderate Republican.
Shays acknowledged he has not been comfortable with DeLay as the No. 2 House GOP leader, citing "continual acts that border and go sometimes beyond the ethical edge. They may not be illegal, but he's always pushing that ethical edge to the limit."
Democrats said their party stands to gain if DeLay asserts himself in the Rep blican leadership and the GOP embraces him. "I hope they continue to let him go out and say just what he's saying," said Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, who joined Shays on CNN's "Late Edition."
DeLay was charged Wednesday with conspiring with two political associates to use corporate donations to support Texas legislative candidates. House rules require any member of the elected leadership to step down temporarily if indicted.
He has said he has done nothing wrong, called the indictment "a sham," and denounced the Democratic prosecutor who pursued the case as a "partisan fanatic."
DeLay told "Fox News Sunday" he expected to dispense quickly with the charges and will serve as a close adviser to Hastert, R-Ill., in promoting an agenda that includes lowering gas prices, cutting taxes and enforcing immigration laws.
"get to continue my partnership with the speaker," DeLay said.
"The speaker and I have been leading the House for, what, eight years now. It's because we get along together, we think the same. We are simpatico," DeLay said.
Asked whether he would return to the GOP leadership, DeLay said, "Well, I hope so. I can do my job with or without the title. That doesn't concern me."
But GOP Rep. David Dreier of California, the House Rules Committee chairman initially recommended to take over many of DeLay's duties, said on CBS "Face the Nation" that DeLay "knows he's not going to run things."
The indictment from a grand jury in Austin, Texas, charged that conspirators carried out a fundraising scheme by having the DeLay-founded Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee send corporate money to the Republican National Committee in Washington. The RNC then sent back a like amount — $190,000
— to distribute to Texas candidates.
DeLay said he allowed his name to be used for fundraisers and participated in several of them, but vehemently denied knowing about or intending any illegal activity. Instead, he asked that associates consult with lawyers to make sure their activity was proper, DeLay said.

Topeka mayor says he's offended by Hallmark's 'CSI: Topeka' card
TOPEKA - A birthday card
TOPEKA — A birthday card produced by Hallmark bears the title "CSI: Topeka" and features a cartoon of two people standing over a corpse, with one saying, "Looks like he was bored to death."
Though a company spokeswoman says Hallmark didn't intend to offend anyone, Mayor Bill Bunten wasn't laughing when he learned about the card.
"I find it offensive," Bunter told The Topeka Capital-Journal. "It's probably drawn up by somebody from West Virginia who hasn't been here."
The card refers to popular television dramas about forensics experts who investigate crimes, set in Las Vegas, Miami and New York. Inside the card is the message, "Hope your birthday is anything but dull."
Spokeswoman Kristi Ernsting said Hallmark began marketing the "CSI:Topeka" greeting card in April as part of a humorous "hot off the press line focusing on timely topics in pop culture.

Glass-enclosed boat capsizes;21 dead
Sgt. Steven Stackdale kneels near the victims of the capsized Ethan Allen tour boat on Sunday afternoon at the staging point at Lake George, N.Y. The Shoreline Cruises boats, carrying 47 senior citizens, capsized Sunday afternoon off Cramer Point on Lake George. At least 21 people died.
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. — A glass-enclosed boat carrying tourists on a senior citizens' cruise overturned Sunday on a calm lake in upstate New York, killing at least 21 people and sending more than two dozen cold and wet passengers to a hospital.
Authorities were investigating whether a large passing tour boat created a wake that caused the accident, Warren County Sheriff Larry Cleveland said.
The accident apparently happened so fast that none of the passengers was able to put on a life jacket. Cleveland said.
The 40-foot Ethan Allen capsized around 3 p.m. on Lake George about 50 miles north of Albany, N.Y. in the Adirondack Mountains.
Patrol boats that reached the scene within minutes found other boaters already pulling people from the water. All passengers had been accounted for within two hours.
Twenty-seven people were taken to a hospital in nearby Glens Falls. Some suffered broken ribs and some complaining of shortness of breath. Five people were to be admitted, hospital spokesman Jason White said.
Police investigators were at the hospital late Sunday.
Dorothy Warren, a resident who said she brought blankets and chairs to shore for survivors, said one passenger told her "she saw a big boat coming close and she said," Whoop-dee-do. I love a rocking boat."
Warren said the woman did not know how she got out of the water but said her mother was killed.
Many of the bodies were laid out along the shore, and the site was blocked off by police with tarps. A ahear, police vehicles and several sport utility vehicles later began taking the dead from the scene.
At the time of the accident, the weather was clear and in the 70s at Lake George, a long narrow body of water that is a popular tourist destination.

Indonesia raises alert level after attacks
BY CHRIS BRUMMITT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALI, Indonesia — Police raised the alert level for Indonesia's capital and the president warned of more attacks Sunday as a chilling video shot the day before showed a suspected bomber clutching a backpack and strolling past diners moments before one of three suicide bombings killed
The near-simultaneous bombings on the resort island also injured 101 people, including six Americans.
26 people on Bali.
The attacks apparently were planned by Southeast Asia's two most-wanted men, who are believed to be connected to an al-Qaida-linked group, said Maj. Gen. Ansyaa Mbai, a top Indonesian anti-terror official.
Fear of more attacks on tourists prompted Israel to warn its citizens Sunday not to travel to Egypt's Sinai desert during the upcoming month of Jewish holidays, saying it has information that Arab militants planning strikes against Israelis already are located in the resort area.
The alleged masterminds of the Bali attacks were believed to be Azahari bin Husin and Noor-
din Mohamed Top, both Malaysians who fled to Indonesia after a crackdown on militants following the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said.
The masterminds were not among the suspected bombers, whose remains were found at the scenes, officials said. All three bombers were believed to be wearing belts of explosives, police said.

EDITORIAL
A job well done Mr. Shulenburger
PAGE 5A
In his 12 years of administrative service to the University of Kansas, David Shulenburger has been an exceptional vice chancellor, provost, and executive vice chancellor.
He has led many positive changes that took place at the University since 1993.
He has shown he cares about learning, students,and faculty through his tuition enhancement plan, which allowed the University to raise student and faculty salaries, and make many improvements to libraries and technology.
During his tenure, the University received the Paul Simons award for being one of only five universities that stress an international education. This increased numbers of study abroad students, and an international curriculum.
The Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and the KU Writing Center opened on his
watch, giving academic help and advice to many students who were just getting aquainted with the university life.
The University also found itself among the top 20 universities for "effective educational success," as published in the 2005 "Student Success in College" book, while Shulenburger was here.
Shulenburger has also showed his enthusiasm for furthering education through research.
During his term, the University has doubled its funding for research, and received many major grants. In the past three years, the University has accumulated $40 million for two National Science Foundation centers.
Besides his emphasis on the people and education at the University, he has made sure the University has the means to run smoothly after he leaves.
He has helped enhance
University property by acquiring Smith Hall. He also overseen additions to the University such as the $40 million multidisciplinary Research Building on west campus and the Life Sciences Research Laboratory at 15th Street and Wakarusa Drive.
He has also hired and mentored many deans. Kim Wilcox and Sally Frost, both former deans of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences came and left during his tenure.
Also, Toni-Marie Montgomery, former dean of the School of Fine Arts, was hired.
The editorial board commends him on a job very well, and wish him the best of luck in the years to come.
He has shown his passion for people at the University, learning, and the University's legacy through his years as an administrator.
Anne Weltmer for the editorial board.

Oversensitivity blocks game
Just less than 1,000 KU students are from Illinois. I am one of those students and the game that I have been waiting for since I arrived on this campus in 2003 will never happen thanks to athletics director, Lew Perkins, Student Senate and what I feel are a few rabble-rousing special interests groups.
What makes me even more irate is that a few people can ruin things for the majority. Kansas should never give in to the voice of a few and accept it as the voice of the majority.
For all those who do not know, the university is not going to schedule any games with schools that have mascots the NCAA has deemed "hostile and offensive" toward Native Americans.
I thought sports were for the fans, but obviously not. The majority of the fans don't even have an opinion on this issue. The administration is being too concerned with its public image rather than good competition.
We live in a democratic nation, but what is happening right now is not democracy. It seems as though the loudest person/group gets heard. Well hear me out, this has got to change!
A while back, a group of Native Americans saw some mascots as demeaning to their culture, and they brought the issue in front of the NCAA.
The NCAA and KU sports are businesses, with television contacts, endorsement deals, merchandise, ticket sales- the whole nine yards.
They are afraid of having a bad image in the eye of the public, which is why as soon
as controversy comes up, it is quickly avoided. It's all to prevent the loss of sponsors.
What about fans being lost? I do not think that is a primary concern to them, even though they say it is all for the fans. Money makes things happen.
Programs like the Williams Fund, which rewards better seats to bigger donors, will show you that.
We buy the merchandise, we go to the games and we are a bigger part of collegiate sports than the people who run them are.
Why do you think in the Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge, not one of the mascots has Native American ties?
No Florida State Seminole,
no Chief Illiniwek; but, of
course, we get Baylor's Bruiser
among the top mascots. I do
not know many people who
watch Baylor athletics.
There's nothing I would rather do than sit down and have a discussion with coach Self on this topic. Even though he is no longer an employee at the University of Illinois, he still has ties to that university and I would almost guarantee that he would like to see a game scheduled between Kansas and Illinois.
I wonder what our basketball coach, Bill Self, former coach at the University of Illinois, would have to say on this issue. I have yet to hear him publicly speak about this topic.
It would be good for the game, and more importantly, good for the fans.
ment needs to be changed. The argument made by some out-spoken Native Americans does not hold water.
A mascot's purpose is to engage the fans, especially the younger ones who are more interested in the mascot than the actual game itself.
If someone could give me any proof that the University of Illinois was not accepting Native American students, then yes, that would be an injustice.
I am asking people to voice their opinion on this issue. This scheduling require-
But mascots symbolize school pride, not prejudice.
There is sensitive and then there is over-sensitive,but the line between the two is hard to distinguish. People in daily society have become over-sensitive.
I realize that I am not the most intellectual person, but I have long realized something that the NCAA and Mr. Perkins have not: No matter what you do or what you say, someone will take offense to it.
We have become a society of class action lawsuits.
Two weeks ago, a girl wrote a huge article on how the two people on the "Sex on the Hill" were both white. Hello? We are in Kansas here.
People are just looking for controversy, and I still have not come to understand why. Is it that they need something to argue about?
And then when she found out that the girl was half-Korean, she shut up really quick.
Peace starts with everyone just relaxing!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Relief not Red
In the Sept. 28 Kansan, Andrew Soukup writes of government efforts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, "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." Mr. Soukup is a student at a publicly-funded university, as am 1.
I wonder why it's okay for students pursuing linguistics or pathology degrees to rely on government handouts, but it's Soviet-style communism for the government to help American citizens whose homes were destroyed in one of the worst natural disasters in American history.
Perhaps in a future letter Mr. Soukup, using his taxpayer-subsidized education, could explain this to me.
Baldwin City graduate student
I commend Andrew Soukup on his column on Wednesday. It was a mistake for New Orleans to depend on the federal government to prepare for this disaster. Did the candidates take a position on the levies before the disaster? Of course not, because the voters didn't care on a national level. The people of New Orleans should have elected their local government to prevent this disaster, and the people of New Orleans should have born the cost of improving the levies.
The success story amid this disaster is the response of private organizations, and the charity of private citizens. The proper role of the government is limited to keep order to protect people from crime, not to provide relief. Charity requires giving of one's free will, not forced taxation. After all, were you to donate money, would you send it to FEMA or to the Red Cross?
John Stowell Kansas City, KS
Charity, not taxes
Garlick's viewpoint defeatist, unpatriotic
I read the opinion page in the Kansas every day. I'll admit my favorite part is the Free For All, but I read the articles, too.
When I saw a headline that mentioned my favorite jolly fat man, a cheapskate with a tooth fetish, and a female president, I was reasonably interested. The article was far from what I expected.
Miss Garlick states that there has never been a female president, and never will be. This struck me as pretty screwy.
run, women won't vote for her, and we will therefore never have a female president.
The first thing I thought was that this was a self-fulfilling prophecy. If women want a female president, but refuse to believe it is possible, women won't
From the way Sara writes the article, it's unclear whether she wants a female president or not, but very clear that she won't lift a finger to make it happen.
Next, I thought "Our forefathers would be disgusted!" That's right. Our country was not built upon doubt and sullen acceptance. Our nation was not created with "it hasn't happened before, and it never will" in mind. No backwater colonies had ever beaten England before, but we did it anyway. What Sara suggests, that women give up and quit, is the opposite of the principles of
the United States.
I'm not saying there will or should be a woman president. Personally, I don't think gender really matters in that regard. What I'm saying is that a quitter's attitude won't make it happen. If you want equality, Sara, do something about it. If you want things to change, you can't advocate women giving perpetual figurative blow jobs.
Of course, being a man, either one works out fine for me, but, pardon the pun, sometimes it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

'Suck factor' on soldiers' minds
BY JOHN MILBURN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT RILEY — Capt. Mike Squires forms up members of "Bandito Charlie" Company and begins a dry run through a training course. "Hop in the war wagon," said Squires, motioning toward the back seat of a desert-brown Humwee.
That Humvee already has been to Iraq. It still carries scars from an IED, or improvised explosive device, that was along a roadside. "It was probably a
155mm artillery shell," Squires adds matter-of-factly. "Fortunately, everybody was all right."
The 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry of the 1st Brigade and the rest of the 1st Infantry Division, the famed "Big Red One," expects to return to Iraq in a few months. It is the second yearlong stint for about 40 percent or more of the soldiers in the brigade.
About 3,400 Fort Riley soldiers currently are in Iraq. Those now training for a second tour don't show much fear about returning.
But some of them talk about the "suck factor" — working long hours, enduring extreme heat and having to take showers with bottled water. Some of them wonder when Iraq's military will be ready to fend for itself.
A top Army official said Thursday that only one Iraqi battalion was capable of combat, dampening hopes that the Americans could be ready to start reducing their numbers.
Some critics have compared Iraq conflict to the lengthy and ultimately unpopular Vietnam War.

SUPREME COURT
President mum about nominee
BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Bush is watching his first Supreme Court nominee, Chief Justice John Roberts, take the helm of the high court today while weighing his options for nominating a second justice who also could shape the bench for years to come.
"He's still working." White House chief of staff Andy Card said Sunday about the president's effort to choose a replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. "Still considering lots of options."
The White House will not disclose who is on Bush's short list, or hint when an announcement will be made.
Legal experts who are in touch with administration officials say the president is most likely to choose a woman to replace O'Connor, even though many of the often-mentioned candidates are white men.
There continues to be talk in legal circles that he could pick one of three longtime Bush loyalists; White House counsel Harriet Miers, the first women president of the Texas State Bar and Bush's former personal attorney; Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Bush's longtime friend, who would be the first Hispanic on the court; and corporate lawyer Larry Thompson, who was the government's highest ranking black law enforcement official when he was deputy attorney general during Bush's first term.
Other candidates mentioned most frequently in recent days include conservative federal appeals court judges J. Michael Lutig, Priscilla Owen, Karen Williams, Alice Batchelder and Samuel Alito; Michigan Supreme Court justice Maura Corrigan; and Maureen Mahoney, a well-respected litigator before the high court.
Justice Stephen Breyer, when asked if he thought Bush should appoint another woman, deflected the question, replying,
"For me to talk about the appointment process is a little bit like ... seeing the recipe for chicken a la King from the point of view of the chicken."
Appearing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Breyer said, "We're a big country, and there are people of many different points of view, and it's helpful, not harmful, to have a court made up of people of diverse backgrounds, points of view and so forth."
Today, Bush is going to the Supreme Court for a formal ceremony at which Roberts, who was confirmed by the Senate 78-22 and sworn in at the White House on Thursday, assumes the role of chief justice. Following tradition, Roberts will don his robe for the first time and take the center seat last held by the late former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist.

Mangino maintains control of team
LUBBOCK, Texas — One could criticize Mark Mangino for a lot of what went wrong Saturday.
After having two weeks to prepare for Texas Tech, the Kansas football coach's defensive game plan was ripped to shreds on the game's opening drive.
Later, after a Texas Tech field goal, on the first play following the ensuing kick-off, the Kansas offense committed a delay of game penalty and then was whistled for a false start. When the Jayhawks finally got their play off — on first and 20 from the 10-yard line — senior quarterback Brian Luke made an errant pitch that found its way into the end zone. The Red Raiders fell on the football for a no-work-needed touchdown.
backdown. Mangino's musical chair-like quarterback rotation was also baffling. Especially because each one looked completely lost on the field.
But for all of Mangino's shortcomings on Saturday, he proved one thing: he has complete control of his team.
Everything that could possibly go wrong for the Jayhawks did in the first half — an interception returned for a touchdown was called back because of an illegal block, and a fourth-down conversion was taken away after the replay official decided that Kansas was wrongly given a few extra inches on a spot. Facing a 20-point halftime deficit, Mangino convinced the Jayhawks to stick together and fight back against a team that is known for destroying opponents at home.
Nebraska and TCU, for example, both left Lubbock with 70 Texas Tech points on the scoreboard last year. Texas Tech hung 59 points on Texas A&M two years ago.
Not only did the Jayhawks make it a game in the second half, but they were within one play of taking control of the contest.
But Kansas refused to pack it in and stayed within striking distance until falling by 13.
"Hats off to our defense. We were there at the end," senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said. "A couple plays here and there, things might have gone the other way."
Late in the third quarter, Kansas had an open path to the end zone on a Texas Tech fumble, but when sophomore defensive tackle Eric Butler went to pick up the ball, his knee touched the ground, ending the play. Kansas eventually settled for a field goal.
A touchdown would have pulled Kansas to within 6 points, at 27-21, and the
Jayhawks would have had momentum firmly on their side.
As it turned out, Kansas still had a shot in the fourth quarter, but every time the defense handed the offense a golden opportunity to mount a serious challenge, it couldn't get over the hump.

Offense can't play catch-up

LUBBOCK, Texas — The Kansas defense did all it could Saturday to get a victory against No. 16 Texas Tech, but it was the Kansas offense that struggled en route to a 30-17 loss, dropping the team's record to 3-1.

Kansas wide receiver Mark Simmons makes a touchdown in the third quarter of the 30-17 Texas Tech victory Saturday in Liberty.

The offense managed little more than two yards per play in the first half. Kansas was down 20-0 at halftime after accumulating 82 yards of offense in the first half.
"If you come down here in Lubbock, and your defense can keep you within 23 points, your offense has to score more points," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "That's what we didn't get done the way that we would have liked."
Mangino used three quarterbacks in the game, yet none were able to get the Kansas offense moving.
The offense had three turnovers, including a fumble that resulted in a Texas Tech touchdown. Senior quarterback Brian Luke ran an option and pitched the football to senior running back Clark Green. The pitch got away from Green, allowing Texas Tech to recover in the end zone and gain a 17-0 lead.
"I didn't think we were crisp at all in the pass game." Mangino said. "If it wasn't a misfire, it was a drop. If it wasn't a drop, it was not a really well-run route. Those are correctable things and we will get those things corrected."
Luke started the game, but was replaced by junior quarterback Adam Barmann for a series in the second
quarter. Mangino said he made the switch to calm Luke down.
Mangino later inserted freshman quarterback Marcus Herford into the lineup to give the offense a spark. None of the quarterback switches moved Kansas down the field.
Luke finished 13-for-27 for 109 running yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Barmann was 8-for-10 for 45 yards, while Herford went 0-of-1 passing.
"I think they are capable guys," Mangino said. "But someone is going to have to take charge, or we are going to have to make some decisions."
The Kansas defense, after allowing a touchdown on the first drive of the game, buckled down for the rest of the contest and provided Kansas with good field position.
Tony Gutierrez/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said it was a mental problem with the offense when it was not successful.
"It is pretty frustrating," Simmons said. "We know we can do it. We have to continue to do it, just like we do in practice."
Kansas sustained its only lengthy drive at the end of the third quarter. The Jayhawks drove 73 yards and Luke found Simmons for a touchdown in the back of the end zone. The score put the Jayhawks within 13 at 27-14. Simmons caught four passes on the drive for 39 yards.
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith recovered a fumble and returned it 12 yards to the 11-yard line at the beginning of the second half. Junior running back Jon Cornish then barreled through defenders on a drive for an 11-yard touchdown.
While the Jayhawks scored 17 points in the second half, the first of the two touchdowns was clearly because of the KU defense.
Cornish finished the day with 117 yards on 17 carries. It was the second 100-yard rushing game of his career and of the season.
After the opening drive, the KU defense was able to get significant pressure on Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges.
Senior linebacker Brandon Perkins recorded three tackles and a sack.
"As a defense, I think we did all right."

Weekend loss, tie frustrate Kansas

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas fell to a .500 record after suffering through its most unsuccessful weekend of the year, falling to Iowa State 3-1 on Sunday and going scoreless in a tie with Nebraska on Friday night.
The road loss to the Cyclones made three winless efforts in a row for the Jayhawks, all of which were Big 12 Conference matches.
Kansas (5-5-2, 1-2-1 Big 12) gave up two early goals to Iowa State (7-3-3, 2-1-1 Big 12) within 45 seconds of each other.
"It was a very disappointing game," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "We need to pick it up
and get back on track."
Iowa State forward Amy Flores used her head to push the Cyclones past the Jayhawks. She scored two goals by header for her sixth goal of the season.
The Jajhawks failed to get on the board in the first half. Their only goal came in the 59th minute. Senior forward Nicole Braman drove the ball to the net for the first time this season with freshman forward Jessica Bush and junior defender Holly Gault assisting.
Iowa State was not finished. With less than 10 minutes to play, Iowa State forward Meghan Smith scored her first career goal off Leslie Hill's first career assist.

Runs abound over weekend
For the second consecutive weekend, the Kansas softball team rolled over its opponents to win another tournament and improve its preseason tournament record to 8-0.
Senior pitcher Serena Settlemier was the highlight of the second of three games over the weekend, recording a no-hitter against Northern Colorado. She also went 2-2 from the plate with a home run, double and two RBJ in the 8-0 Kansas victory.

In the fourth inning, Settlemier sent a towering shot to left field that barely snuck inside the foul pole for her first home run of the day. She said she always tried to complement her pitching by producing offense.

Kansas' offense struck first when senior third baseman Nettie Fierros homered to left field in the second inning.
Another Kansas home run, this time off the bat of senior second baseman Jessica Moppin, tied the score at two in the bottom of the inning.
"We knew Washburn was scrapy. It's probably the best team we'll play all fall," Moppin said.
Despite the defense committing three errors, freshman pitcher Valerie George was able to hold Washburn to two runs, both unearned. She struck out nine batters on the way to a complete-game victory.
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with the way George stepped up after starting the game slowly.

Junior Amanda Costner led the Jayhawks in the Ptarmigan Classic in Fort Collins, Colo. She placed third individually.
Although there are no Big 12 Conference teams participating, O'Neil said she saw this as an opportunity to build momentum during the fall season.

Red Sox capture wild card spot in A.L.; Astros in N.L.
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just when it looked as though the playoff picture might remain muddled for days, everything was settled on the final afternoon of the regular season.
The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros wrapped up the wild cards Sunday, clinching the final two major league playoff spots. All the matchups were set for the 2005 postseason, starting Tuesday with the NL West champion San Diego Padres playing in St. Louis at 1:09 p.m. EDT.
Houston will open Wednesday in Atlanta against the NL East champion Braves, coming off their 14th consecutive division title. It is a rematch of their first-round series last year, won by Roger Clemens and the Astros in five games.
The Phillies did all they could to force a tiebreaker playoff, beating Washington 9-3 for a weekend sweep, but still fell short.
"I'm very thankful. It was some rocky roads, roller-coaster rides throughout the season," pitcher Andy Pettitt after a 6-4 victory over the Cubs allowed Houston to finish one game ahead of Philadelphia.

Kansas faces tough competition in Indiana

KANSAN SPORTSMITER
The Kansas women's tennis team struggled the in the first two days of the Hoosier Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., this weekend before recovering Sunday.
Five talented tennis teams — Indiana, Kansas State, Louisiana State, Murray State and Notre Dame — gave Kansas solid competition and many long matches over the weekend.
The Hoosier Invitational singles portion had five tournaments or "flights." There are eight competitors per flight.
Sophomore Stephanie Smith scored the only first-round victory for the Jayhawks. She went on to lose in the championship of Flight E in a close match against Maria Perevoschikova of Kansas State 3-6, 6-3, 0-1 (9).
Sophomore Elizaveta Adeveea lost all three of her matches in Flight A. Some of the highest
ranked players in collegiate tennis were in Avdeva's bracket. Coach Amy Hall-Holt said Avdeva played tough and stayed focused through the toughest bracket in the tournament.
Senior Christine Skoda and freshman Ksenia Bukina both lost their opening matches before winning their next ones in Flight B.
Freshman Edina Horvath fought through a tough opening round tie-break loss to win her next match in the same tie-break fashion. She lost in the fifth place match to Sigrid Fischer of Indiana in her third tie-break match of the tournament, 3-6, 6-3, 0-1 (4). Horvath played in Flight C.
Flight D competitors junior Brittany Brown and sophomore Lauren Hommell finished sixth and seventh respectively.
Junior Ashley Filberth finished sixth in Flight E.
Unlike the singles play, the doubles portion of the tournament had one all-inclusive bracket. The draw saw the team of Avdeeva/Bukina finish in the seventh place match, but the match was
scheduled for late in the day and was eventually canceled. Horvath/Hommel earned 10th, the highest Kansas placer, while Brown/Skoda ended the tournament with two impressive victories to capture 13th place.
"They played much better," Hall-Holt said. "They beat some really tough teams. I was very proud of the effort."
The team struggled in the opening day of doubles but rebounded with a strong finish Sunday.
Hall-Holt said there is room for improvement before the team competes in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional on Oct. 19 in Salt Lake City.
"I felt like we could have come out and competed a little harder," Hall-Holt said. "It's all about the experience in the fall. There is a lot work we need to get done before the spring season starts."
Hall-Holt said the players are willing to step up for the challenging weeks ahead.

Kansas wins, records fall

The Kansas volleyball team righted itself in Boulder, defeating Colorado on Saturday night.
The Jayhawks wore in five games (30-32, 31-29, 17-30, 34-15, 15-6).
Andi Rozum, senior setter, became the all-time Kansas leader in assists with 4.238 for her career.
Rozum had 65 assists in the match and passed Julie Woodruff by 29. Woodruff played from 1988 to 1991.
It was the first conference road victory for the Jayhawks this season and improved the team to 12-3 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 play. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Beachard said it gave Kansas a legitimate road victory.
"It was awesome to get the win and it's a good feeling all around," Rozum said.
Bechard said the team was excited by its performance. Going into the game, Bechard said the team needed to do a better job of passing and serving. The Jayhawks were able to improve that aspect of their game.
Kansas was not, however, able to close out the opening game after jumping to a 29-26 lead. The Buffalooes capitalized on the Jayhawks' hitting errors and serving miscuces to take the first set. The Jayhawks hit .118 in the first game allowing the Buffalooes an opportunity to come back.
Kansas bounced back nicely to win game two. After trailing 25-28, the Jayhawks rallied to win the set, 31-29. Kansas' increased hitting efficiency, .271, helped the Jayhawks tie the match at one-game a piece.
Colorado tried to run away with the match in game three. Colorado won by a substantial margin, 13, with a match-high .536 hitting percentage. Colorado was able to hold Kansas to a .129 hitting percentage in the victory. Colorado's Nicole Carr, senior outside hitter, and Allie Griffin, senior right side hitter, both reached milestones in the loss. Carr recorded her 1,000th-career dig and Griffin got her 1,000th-career kill.
Kansas was able to re-establish itself in game four. Sophomore outside hitter Emily Brown and senior outside hitter Paula Caten had consecutive kills that led the Jayhawks to win the set. The team hit 326 in game four and forced game five.
Kansas ran away with the deciding game, winning 15-6. The Jayhawks ended the game on a 4-0 run for their first conference road
victory.
"We played really well in the fifth game," senior middle blocker Josi Lima said.
Next up, Kansas takes on instate rival No. 16 Kansas State t at 7 p.m., Wednesday night in the Horesei Family Athletics Center. K-Stew note 23. Texas A&M.

KANSAN SPORTWEEPER
Rowers Jen Ebel and Jelayna Da Silva walked away from this weekend's regatta in Oklahoma City, Okla., with a smile.
Ebel placed second in the women's open single and Da Silva placed third.
"It was a hard race," Ebel said.
"We went under eight bridges and it was really windy. So I felt really good when it was all over."
Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said the focus of practice this week would be on keeping the fitness level up and improving techniques.
Both rowers passed Big 12 Conference rival Texas, which had rowers fall behind in the race.
"Our main competitor is Texas so we went out to beat them and we did." Da Silva said.
"I think we've improved a lot from last year. I was really pleased and I know everyone is really excited." Da Silva said.
Many women tested their abilities by competing in multiple races this weekend.
The Kansas rowers held up to the pressure because nearly all the girls received a medal.
"We definitely need to keep
working on our strength and speed up our times," Ebel said. "We'll have to just keep working hard."
Kansas had other strong finishes as well. The women's varsity four boats took third, fourth and 15th out of 38 competing boats.
The third place boat finished five seconds behind Texas, which took second. The U.S. National Team took first.
"It was a good performance." Catloth said. "They were rowing like they do in practice, which was good to see. I was really pleased at all levels."
The women's novice four boats took first and third and the women's novice eight boat took second behind Kansas State.
In the women's open double race, Kansas took first, fourth, sixth, seventh and 12th out of 18 teams.
The women's varsity eight boat A took third place, behind Texas and the U.S. Naval Academy. Boat B finished 10th.
"The women did an awesome job," assistant coach Jennifer Myers said. "We're off to a great start."
Kansas will compete again the last weekend of October in Iowa City, Iowa.

Tech quarterback a hit
Defense rattles Cody Hodges with sacks and knock-downe
BY RYAN COLIAanni rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges took so many hits during Saturday's victory against Kansas that he's not sure about his current physical shape.
"I really don't think I'll be able to get up tomorrow morning." Hodges said.
"It seemed like every play I was getting knocked down and had to get picked up off the turf."
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said the plays by Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges were the reason Texas Tech won 30-17.
Mangino said he was specifically impressed by Hodges' response to the pressure from the Kansas defense.
"He is a tough kid. We knocked him down, sacked him, got after him all night
and he just kept competing and making plays," Mangino said.
The Jayhawks sacked Hodges five times, but he was hit many other times just as he released the ball.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was impressed by the pressure Kansas put on Hodges. "They sort of hung up a punching bag on Cody Hodges," Leach said of the Kansas defense.
Senior linebacker Brandon Perkins was one of those "punching" Hodges, recording a sack.
"We hit him with whatever we had, and he had a lot of heart as he kept getting up. You have to give him a lot of credit," Perkins said.
The Kansas defense blitzed often and was able to get in Hodges' face on seemingly every ojay.
Hodges managed to throw for more than 300 yards for the fourth straight game this season.
He wasn't always able to find the end zone, but he was still happy with the victory.
"It is disappointing we had only two touchdowns and all of the field goals," Hodges said. "I would rather have an ugly win than a pretty loss," however.
Hodges was not only successful throwing the football into the Jayhawk secondary, but he was also able to use his legs to get first downs for Texas Tech.
The five sacks negated Hodges' rushing totals, but he was able to score a rushing touchdown on a five-yard run in the third quarter.
Still, Hodges didn't put up the big touchdown numbers that he had in his last three games, he had 12 coming into the game.
Mangino said while Hodges may have had only one touchdown, he did a great job of getting crucial first downs when it mattered most in the second half.

Key Plays:
On third and seven from the 30-yard line during Texas Tech's first drive of the game, Hodges had nowhere to pass but was able to run for a 14-yard gain to keep the drive alive. Hodges later nit junior wide receiver Jarrett Hicks on a four-yard touchdown pass.
Pinned inside their own 10- yard line in the second quarter because of two penalties, senior quarterback Brian Luke pitched the football to senior running back Clark Green. The pitch was behind Green and Texas Tech recovered in the end zone.
While on the 30-yard line, facing a third and four, Luke was on the run looking for junior cornerback Charles Gordon, however he underthrew him and the ball was intercepted. It was Texas Tech's first interception of the year.
On the next play, senior safety Rodney Fowler intercepted Hodges after the pass was tipped by junior safety Jerome Kemp. Fowler took the interception into the end zone for what appeared to be a touchdown, however an illegal block below the waist negated the touchdown and put the Jayhawks at the Texas
Tech 31-yard line. Junior Adam Barmann began the next possession at quarter. back and the Jayhawks were unsuccessful on a 51-yard field goal attempt by sophomore punter Kyle Tucker.
Key Stats:
Just 82 yards of total offense in the first half. The Kansas defense allowed 23 points, the other seven coming off a fumble by the offense.
The Jayhawks racked up their most penalties of the season: nine penalties for 95 yards.

Fans bash Lubbock
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
mphillips@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
LUBBOCK, Texas — When Jayhawk fans take road trips to support their team, they often pick glamorous destinations such as Austin, Texas, or Boulder, Colo., — certainly not Lubbock, Texas.
The KU fans who filled the two smallest sections of the Jones SBC Stadium were a mix of family members, alumni who live in west Texas and die-hard fans.
Among attendees, the city drew comparisons to another Big 12 Conference locale.
"It's almost worse than Manhattan," KU student Blake Ferrel said. "Only almost, though."
What's there to do when in Lubbock? "Keep going," advised a gas station attendant in Amarillo, Texas, which is two hours north of Lubbock.
The city is located along the west Texas plains, which offer vast expanses of nothingness as far as the eye can see.
Drivers are guided by a string of high school football stadiums that light the way, with Jones SBC Stadium in Lubbock towering over them all.
Football is king in this part of
TEXAS TECH

Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges prepares to make a pass as Kansas senior defensive end Charlton Keith applies pressure in the fourth quarter of the 30-17 Texas Tech victory on Saturday.
the country, which explains why the stadium will soon expand to more than 62,000 seats.
The stadium currently holds 53,000 fans.
The city is dry, meaning no liquor stores exist within city limits.
That didn't put a damper on tailgating.
Open fields near the stadium quickly filled up with cars and grills, including a tent for the Jayhawk fans.
"We are going on all the road trips this year," said Mike Davis, senior vice president of the KU Alumni Association.
"This is the first time the alumni association has done that." He said he expected 70 to 75 people to stop by the tent, which held its own with the Red Raider parties in every category except attendance.
For most Jayhawk fans, a 12-hour drive was just too much, but for Gary McCullough and Kyle Beran, it meant a game they could attend.
McCullough and Beran live in the Midland, Texas, area, just two hours south of Lubbock.
"It's not always easy to follow the team, because they don't put any of the games on TV." Beran said. "We can follow basketball, because all those games are televised."
"The two enjoyed the area and said that residents were friendly.
For McCullough, it was a big difference from growing up in Los Angeles.
"I think Midwesterners in general are just very cordial," he said.
Davis and the alumni association travelers will get another opportunity to see another part of the state next month, when the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, to play the Longhorns.
"We'll have a lot of people at the Texas game," Davis said. "People perceive Austin as having more to do."

Roy still finds magic two years after attack
LAS VEGAS — Roy Horn says "the magic is back."
But two years after he was nearly killed by a tiger on stage, the magic is about walk ing short distances, not making elephants disappear.
"I meditate a lot, but I am constantly in pain," Horn, of the famed duo "Siegfried & Roy" told the Las Vegas Sun.
Today is the second anniversary of the attack; It's also his 61st birthday.
Horn can now walk unaided for short distances, and the grip of his right hand is noticeably firm. But signs of the attack remain: A thin white scar cuts across the right side of his neck, his left side is partially paralyzed and his walk is a slow shuffle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
for Monday, Oct. 3, 2005: A Solar Eclipse on your birthday heralds major changes in your life. You have more control than you realize, especially if you don't fight the inevitable. Many who work might be questioning their career choices and want to make an adjustment. Do. If male, you could find that you are going through a mini identity crisis. If female, you could find your views about the key man or men in your life changing. If you are single, you might decide that it's time to settle down. You will have your choice of suitors. If you are attached, you might find that you want to transform your bond in some way. LIBRA understands where you are coming from.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ The Solar Eclipse opposite your sign could be particularly poignant if you are within a week of your half-birthday right now. Other Rams still might feel its impact in one month, three months and six months. Inter-personal ties are about to transform — ultimately for the better! Tonight: Be available.
TAURIS (April 20-May 20)
**★ You might feel that your energy is
off no matter what you do or what you take on. You can make this a problem or simply flow with the moment. Be sensitive to those in your daily life. The Eclipse could hit them hard. Tonight: Yes, be a coach potato.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ Whether your creativity and imagination have been high or low, today's Solar Eclipse heralds a transformation in your creative product. If you are single, a love affair could tap you on the shoulder in the next few months. Offspring could also act up. Tonight: Enjoy your life.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★ You are the sign of home and family. Today's Eclipse will stimulate the domestic area of your chart. You will find that much goes on within your personal life in the next few months. Some might make an investment in real estate. Tonight: Head home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ Whether you realize it or not, you might be changing your daily patterns in the next few months. Some might choose a new, zipty car; others could choose a simpler item. You will ultimately feel very good with this
transformation. Tonight: Hang out; swap the day's tales.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Use extreme caution with your finances in the next few months. You could experience some dramatic financial changes, from winning the lottery to having a big bill drop on you. Someone might take advantage of you. Tonight: Pay bills.
***** Today's Eclipse in your sign might be particularly powerful for those born within a week of today. A career change or an adjustment in a relationship becomes a strong possibility in the following months. If you feel drained, slow down. Tonight: Play it according to how you feel.
★★ Investigate more of your feelings.
Sometimes you suppress your emotions. Get more in touch with your inner self. Think about processing things in a new way. You are more open than you realize. Tonight: Do some soul-searching.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
commitments might not be what you want to do in the next few months, but it will be one of your major concerns. You might decide to broaden your horizons and somehow change your circle of friends. Tonight. Find your pals.
★★★ You might want to consider how much of a commitment you would like to make to your work or to community involvement. You will make changes soon enough, either getting more responsibility or choosing more free time. Tonight: Out late.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**Rethinking goals and long-term**
**** You re-evaluate your inner direction and your choices. Your sense of humor comes through, no matter who you encounter. A family member or domestic matter tests your patience. Detach. Tonight: Experiment with new ideas.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 7B
★★★ A partnership will be changing in the next few months. You will find that this person's outlook and willingness to share transforms. You need to adjust, communicate and be open. Tonight: At another's back and call! (Just tonight.)

Perkins said. "We gave up a few big plays. We just didn't do enough to win."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The Texas Tech offense was not as prolific as it was in its first three games, scoring just 30 points after averaging over 50 in the first three games. Hodges was often sacked or knocked to the ground.
Junior cornerback Charles Gordon forced a key fumble late in the third quarter that was recovered by junior defensive lineman Eric Butler.
"They mixed up their coverage a lot," Hodges said. "It seemed like they had guys everywhere."
Gordon's fumble set up a 27-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Scott Webb and the Jayhawks were within 10 points at 27-17. That would be the closest the Iavhwaws would get.
Luke threw his second inter
ception with about 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The miscue gave the Red Raiders the ball at their own 37-yard line. Texas Tech ran 5:12 off the clock and set up its final score of the evening on a 46-yard field goal from Alex Trlica to make the score 30-17.
Kansas won its fourth consecutive coin toss of the season and once again chose wait to receive until the second half.
Senior cornerback Theo Baines got the start at cornerback for the first time this season.
The Jayhawks saw their first instant-replay review. Simmons caught the ball for a first down at 4th and 2, but later officials overturned the play and gave the Red Raiders the ball.
Football Notes:
Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker attempted his first field goal of his career, a 51-yarder in the second quarter. The kick
fell just short. Tucker booted a career long 77-yard punt in the third quarter. He managed the booming punt despite having the snap fall short of him and having to pick it up.
Gordon limped off the field with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter. He would later return, but limped off the field after the game. Mangino said he hurt his ankle but was not concerned with his status for next week.
Senior linebacker Nick Reid is now in a tie for third place all time for tackles for a loss, after a tackle in the second quarter.
Green's two receptions on the day moved him into fifth place all time on the all-time receptions list at Kansas.
Perkins recorded his 16th sack of his career, which moved him to sixth place all-time at Kansas.

"Val really struggled with a lot of frustration early in the game. But what I liked was she gathered herself in about the fourth inning and she pitched much better from the fourth inning on," Bunge said.
The next two games resembled batting practice for the Jayhawks, as they outscored their opponents 17-0. The final game of the tournament was a rematch between Kansas and Washburn.
This time, the Jayhawks defeated the Lady Blues in a more convincing fashion. Kansas once again ended the game early when Settlemier homered to center field in the bottom of the sixth inning, putting Kansas ahead 9-0.
Humphreys pitched three innings and allowed three hits and no runs.
Settlemier continued her dominance, as the Lady Blues were unable to come up with a hit against her in the final three innings.
Chapple scored two runs in the game and went 2-3 from the plate.
Freshman third baseman Val
"As the day goes on, you can see that we started to come around on it," Chapple said. "We had some good hits this time that they caught, but they had a better defense."
The Jayhawks will continue the fall season when they play host to Johnson County Community College and Missouri Western next Sunday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Junior quarterback Adam Barmann couldn't move the Jayhawks with more than five minutes to go down 13.
"I like the way they played for four quarters; they played hard and fought right to the end," Mangino said. But, impressively, the Kansas defense, which allowed Texas Tech's vaunted offense to produce
only one touchdown drive during the last 56 minutes of the game, never got down.
Every defender on the team had reason to believe the offense was never going to give Kansas an opportunity for victory and could have chosen to leave his intensity in the locker room at halftime.
But Mangino kept the team together, leading it to a 17-10 advantage in the second half,
and gave Jayhawk fans reason to believe that this team would never quit on him.
That's one attribute every good coach has, and even though the trait doesn't guarantee the Kansas football team will turn the proverbial corner, it would have no chance without it.

The Jayhawks recorded 21 shots to the Cyclones' 12, but were outshot 8-7 on goal, an occurrence relatively uncommon for Kansas.
"We just need to come back next week and bounce back against the Oklahoma schools," Francis said.
Friday night brought little resolution to Kansas' desire for revenge against Nebraska for sending Kansas home from the NCAA tournament last year.
Sophomore goalkeeper Colleen Quinn knocked down five saves, while Iowa State keeper Joanna Haig saved six for the Cyclones.
The tie marked Kansas' first since Aug. 28, and - besides a red vs. white scrimmage - the first for Nebraska (6-3-1, 1-1-1 Big 12) this season as well.
Francis said he was proud of his team's effort and he knew his team was on the right track.
"On the road, in conference, against a good team, we should probably be happy with that," Francis said. "But we're a little disappointed. We definitely had the better chances in the game."
The Jayhawks outshot the Huskers 25-14 and 9-5 on goal, but could not convert chances to score goals.
Junior midfielder Michelle Rasmussen led the Kansas attack with four shots on goal. Senior forward Caroline Smith followed with three.
On Nebraska's side of the ball, freshman forward Aysha Jamani was the only Husker to record more than one shot on goal, recording a pair.
In goalkeeping, Quinn recorded five saves, while Nebraska keeper Jamie Klages stopped nine.
Kansas returns home to face Oklahoma State on Friday and Oklahoma on Sunday.
"We didn't really finish," Francis said. "We had three or four excellent opportunities. We should've won."

Utilities fuel increase
BY ANN WELTEM
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
This year's tuition for an in-state student taking 15 credit hours is $2,706.50,
$338.25 higher than last year.
The University of Kansas quietly raised tuition this semester an extra 4 percent from last year's tuition, partly to cover rising natural gas prices and other maintenance costs.
The 4 percent increase is on top of the $247.50 increase students already pay under the University's tuition enhancement plan, now in its fourth of five years.
The increase gives the University an extra $5.2 million in its maintenance fund to cover utilities and other costs

the University needs to run buildings.
Natural gas is just one of the utilities that the maintenance budget pays for, but it is the one that has significantly gone up in price this year.
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said the University's utility costs were expected to be $7.1 million this year. The University estimated it would pay $7.10 per 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas, he said. Eakin estimated that rates would increase to $12 per 1,000 cubic feet this winter.
in an e-mail sent out to all faculty and staff last Friday, Provost David Shulenburger stated that the University was paying $14.25 per 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas last week. Right now, the University uses about 400,000 cubic feet of natural gas per fiscal year.
Eakin said the University decided to have students help pay maintenance costs because it didn't get enough money from the state to cover them.

University holds legal edge on logo
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The confusion regarding the logos of the University of Kansas and Kutztown University in Kutztown, Pa., has brought up issues dealing with copyright and trademarks.
The University introduced its new logo this semester after nearly two years of work by the University and LandryMorrow, a consulting firm based in Portland, Ore. The University was surprised to learn that Kutz-town University had a very similar logo. Both logos are in Janfont, and both feature a "k" that swoops underneath the

"u." But Kutztown University's logo was developed in 2003. The issue that has come up deals with the trademark of the letters "k" and "u" used together. The University had had the trademark on KU since 1979, said Paul Cartar, executive vice chancellor for external affairs. Both universities said they did not anticipate a lawsuit from either side. Philip Breeze, director of licensing, marketing and university relations for Kutztown University, said some kind of legal agreement would have to be made to ensure that both universities could use their logos.
KU
♦ Monday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The photo caption accompanying "Fake IDs threaten bar" should have read "Everyone thinks we are closed, but we're not," said John Heleniak, co-owner of TThe Hawk", in response to the rumor that the bar is now closed because of recent citations for serving minors. The bar is not closed.
"We understand the underlying values of the University and what the symbol embodies," he said. "We definitely got our money's worth."
"I don't anticipate any unpleasantness with this situation." Breeze said.
Scott Stockwell, a copyright attorney who practices in Lawrence, said if a lawsuit was filed about the logos, the University would have the better stand. This is because Kutztown University was not in existence as a university when the University made KU a trademark. Carrtar said any talks regarding the logo would be in consideration of the University's best interest. Carrtar also said the University was not making any plans to redo the logo or any of the new visual elements released this semester. The University spent $88,900 on the development of the logo, which included working with focus groups to find the best logo possible. Carrtar said the money was well spent, considering the amount of work that went into the visual identity and the product the University received.

An uncomfortable equation
Unclear graffiti raises questions discussion
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Perplexing graffiti with several references to the word "nigger" were found on a set of stairs on campus this weekend. Jake Kenyon, Atchison junior, said he saw an individual marking on the stairs about 5:15 Friday night.
After turning in a physics lab report, Kenyon left Mallot Hall and took the stairs between Wescoe Hall and Anschutz Library. As he ascended the stairs, Kenyon said he saw someone lying on the stairs, writing.
"When I passed by on the stairs he glanced up at me. I was on the phone, and I saw that he was doing a whole bunch of mathematical equations so I didn't really think anything of it," Kenyon said. "If I had known he was writing racist stuff, I would have done something."
Scrawled on the cement were incoherent phrases such as "just the shit existence of negativity and bad intent" and "nigger = symbol of negativity." The phrases were accompanied by what appeared to be mathematical sketches, such as a downward parabola, a circle within an equilateral triangle, and a labeled human figure.
The KU Public Safety Office informed the Facilities Operations office of the graffiti yesterday, and it sent painters to assess the situation and remove the writing during the afternoon, said Vickie Baldwin, work manager at Facilities Operations. The Public Safety Office is currently investigating the graffiti.
seemed to focus on the intent and interpretation of the words Negro, Negra and Nigger.
Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, notified Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, and informed her of the writing. He said the writings were hard to interpret and
"It talks about the word being used both positively and negatively and how this word has purpose and the message through drawings and formulas," Page said. "At this point we are seeking help to interpret the writings."
Saul Stahl, mathematics professor, said from a mathematical standpoint, the drawings were "meaningless" and "incorrect." The only sketch Stahl recognized was the Pythagorean theorem.

Study abroad ban decried

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
University of Kansas students trying to study abroad in Israel have a barrier preventing them from taking classes in the Middle East nation.
Since the Intifada, a Palestinian uprising against Israelis began in September of 2000, the university has banned all students from studying abroad in the Middle East country after the U.S. government issued a travel warning for tourists or travelers heading to the area.
The University's policy states that if a travel warning is issued for a country, no student will be sent there to study, said Stacey Satchell, Office of Study Abroad outreach coordinator.
"This is not a new policy," Satchell said. "It's been this way for years. It is not a study abroad
CURRENT TRAVEL WARNINGS
Travel Warnings are recommendations from the State Department that Americans avoid a certain country. The countries listed below are currently on that list. In addition to this list, the State Department issues Consular Information Sheets for every country of the world with information on such matters as the health conditions, crime, unusual currency or entry requirements, any areas of instability, and the location of the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate in the subject country.

Today, many students want the ban gone. To these individuals, the barriers against studying in Israel are excessive and unfair.

Croatian turns Kansan
After stops in three countries and two states graduate student finds latest home at University
By FRANK TANKARD
fankard@kansai.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Born in Berlin, raised in Croatia, schooled in Montana and Maine, he now sits squarely in the middle of the United States with a blue Rock Chalk bracelet hugging his wrist.
Vjeko Jadric is a second-year graduate student, but his path to the University wasn't a typical one.
It began in Berlin, where he was born to two Croatians. In 1986, at the age of six, he moved with his mother to Hvar, a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea that served as a refugee outpost during the Croatian battle for independence from Yugoslavia. At the time he lived there, the war wasn't ongoing, but Jadric saw the side effects of a wartime nation.
It was basketball that brought the 6-foot-7 Jadric to America. After graduating from high school, his coach found a scholarship for him at Miles Community College in Miles City, Mont. Jadric jumped at the opportunity.
"At that point, everything in
He eventually got used to the barren Montana landscape and quickly began to like the people.
America was the same to me. I didn't know the difference between Chicago and Montana," he said.
"I've never had a problem with people in smaller towns in America. They're very pleasant," he said.
He then returned to Europe to try to play professional basketball. He signed an agent, but when he wasn't able to find a team, Adric came to the University on the recommendation of a Presque Isle professor.
After two years at Miles Community College, Jadric transferred to the University of Maine at Presque Isle, where he played basketball for two years in the NAIA. He averaged nearly 10 rebounds per game and graduated with a bachelor's degree in international relations and political science.
So now he's here, in the lobby of the Kansas Union. His basketball days are now limited to playing on an intramural team and an occasional pickup game at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. He's a year and a half away
from graduating with a master's of business administration and a master's of arts in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. He's the first student to pursue the joint degree.
"There aren't, frankly, a lot of students with the full compliment of international experience Vjeko has," said Bart Redford, international programs coordinator at the School of Business, who helped him get into the program.
Jadric said he'd probably look for work at an American company after graduation.
"I've really blended in and gotten used to the American lifestyle," he said. "Being abroad was never really a problem for me."

SUPREME COURT
Bush's latest justice nomination has no experience as judge
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

WASHINGTON — President Bush nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to a Supreme Court in transition Monday, turning to a longtime loyalist without experience as a judge or publicly known views on abortion to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
White House counsel and Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers walks out with RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie following their meeting with Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, Monday, in Washington. President Bush nominated Miers to the Supreme Court Monday to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
Miers "will strictly interpret our Constitution and laws. She will not legislate from the bench," the president said as the 60-year-old former private attorney and keeper of campaign secrets stood nearby in the Oval Office.
ing for the Capitol and a confirmation campaign already taking shape in the Senate.
Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said through his spokesman he wanted a confirmation vote by Thanksgiving, a compressed, seven-week timetable by recent historical standards. Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, pledged thoroughness.
Miers' was Bush's second selection in three months for vacancies on a high court long divided on key issues. The announcement came shortly before the president attended a ceremony marking John Roberts' new tenure as the nation's 17th chief justice.
"The wisdom of those who drafted our Constitution and conceived our nation as functioning with three strong and independent branches has proven truly remarkable." Miers said at the White House before depart-
"There needs to be, obviously, a very thorough inquiry into her background as a lawyer and her activities, people who will know her on the issues of character and integrity, which we will find out," he said.
In conference calls and interviews, the White House worked aggressively during the day to tamp down concern among conservatives determined, as Bush has pledged, to turn the court in a new direction.
Despite criticism, initial reaction suggested Bush had managed to satisfy many of the conservatives who helped confirm Roberts — without inflaming Democrats who repeatedly warned against the selection of an extreme conservative to succeed O'Connor, who has voted to uphold abortion rights and
preserve affirmative action.
preserve terminal author.
Several officials familiar with Bush's consultations with Congress said that Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, had recommended that he consider Miers for the vacancy. In a written statement, Reid
praised the Dallas native as a "trailblazer for women as managing partner of a major Dallas law firm" and said he would be glad to have a former practicing attorney on the court.
Frist greeted Miers by telling her, "We're so proud of you."
sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, issued a statement saying he looked "forward to Ms. Miers' confirmation."
Republicans hold a 55-44 majority in the Senate, with one independent. Barring a filibuster, they can confirm Miers on the strength of their votes alone.
Miers has served as an adviser to Bush for more than a decade, in positions as varied as private attorney, chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission and in the White House.
When Bush decided to run for governor of Texas in the early 1990s, he turned to Miers to research his own background for information that his opponents might try to use against him. When terrorists struck the United States in 2001, she was with him as staff secretary on what had been a routine trip to Florida.
While her loyalty to Bush is unquestioned, Democrats publicly and Republicans privately wondered about her qualifications for the high court.
"The president has selected a loyal political ally without a judicial record to sit on the highest court in the land," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
At the same time, several senators, Reid and Specter among them, said they would be pleased to have a justice with no prior judicial experience, and the White House moved to fend off any charge that Bush was merely picking a longtime associate.
The administration released material showing that 10 of the 34 justices appointed since 1933 had worked for the president who picked them. The list included the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, first tapped for the court by Richard M. Nixon, and Byron White, named by John F. Kennedy.
Republican concerns tended to be more muted. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a strong foe of abortion, pointedly declined to issue a statement responding to the nomination.
First-term Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said he was reserving judgment. "It has been my expectation that President Bush would nominate someone in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas and it is my hope that Harriet Miers will prove to be such a person," he said. Both justices have voted to overturn the 1973 abortion ruling.

Flu vaccine to be available this season
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
There should be no shortage of influenza vaccine this flu season.
Before last flu season, the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency removed flu vaccines manufactured by Chiron Corp. from the market, citing safety concerns stemming from the manufacturing process.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration followed suit, leading to last year's shortage.
On March 2, the British agency renewed Chiron's license to manufacture the vaccine. Chiron announced Aug. 31 that its facility in Liverpool, England, passed the FDA's inspection and was allowed to resume distribution to the American market.
Shortages of the flu vaccine and delays in its manufacture are common because only four companies prepare, manufacture and distribute the vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Any problems at any step in the process can lead to disruptions. Shortages and delays happened three out of the last five flu seasons.
Jack Brown, professor of molecular biosciences, said a lot of work was required to make the vaccine available to the public. "It's not an overnight process," Brown said. Brown said the procedure from vaccine manufacture to approval for the consumer use was complex and required the vaccine to be effective and not contaminated.
Four versions of the flu vaccine will be available in the United States: Fluzone, Fluvirin, Fluaxi and FluMist. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said there were

small differences among the four vaccines, but all contained the same main ingredients.
People who are in high-risk priority groups — such as health care workers — can currently receive a vaccination.
Intoxicating Oktoberfest
Watkins has accepted the CDC's advice and will not provide vaccinations for everyone until Oct. 24. Denning said the flu season fluctuated, but usually started in December and continued through March.
The CDC projected as many as 96 million doses of the vaccine would be available in the U.S.
Christof Stacha/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fluzone, manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Inc., will be the most widely available vaccine. Chiron, which makes Fluvirin, is projected to provide the second most doses, with as many as 26 million. FluMist, a nasal spray instead of a shot, is projected to be available in three million doses.
A flu shot costs $15, while the FluMist nasal spray is $25.

Film festival offers glimpse of French culture
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A grant from the French government will fund the Tournées KU French Film Festival at the University of Kansas on Wednesday.
"Bon Voyage," the first ol five films to be shown, starts at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
An $1,800 grant from the French American Cultural Exchange will cover part of the cost of the festival. Money and support from the Kansas Memorial Union Corp. and
French department covered the remainder of the approximately $3,500 cost of the festival.
Delphine Nurdin, Dijon France, graduate student, said the festival was a great way to let students get a glimpse of French culture.
She said she missed her culture and "la qualité de la vie" — the quality of life.
"The refinement of French culture is top-of-the-line," Nurdin said.
Van Kelly, chairman of the department of French and Italian, said he hoped the festival would help introduce students to all facets of French culture.
SHOWTIMES
The Tournées film festival begins Wednesday. All shows are at 7:30 p.m. at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
All films are in French with English subtitles.
Tickets are $2 per film.
Wednesday — “Bon Voyage”
Oct. 19 — “Pas sur la bouche” (Not on the lips)
Oct. 25 — “Moolade”
Nov. 2 — “Lesquive” (Games of Love and Chance)
Nov. 15 — “L'autre monde” (The Other World)

French culture covers a wide geographical area, Kelly said, something the average American is unaware of. He selected five films to show the many
French sub-cultures. The films portray World War II-era Paris, religious and political issues in modern-day French-speaking parts of Africa, as well as urban
flight and immigration in today's France.
"Some people think Paris when they think France," Kelly said of French culture. "It's actually all around the world."
Delphine Selles, spokeswoman for the French American Cultural Exchange, said the purpose of the festival was to expose young people to the French language and culture.
Students don't get to see many French films because many theaters don't show them because of costs, language barriers and the difficulty of turning a profit Selles said.
Universities are a place to expose people to the language, she said. Demand for the grants has been rising every year.
"There's really high demand based from professors and budget cuts." Selles said.
Demand has led the exchange to allow universities to receive the grant only every five years.
This is the 10th anniversary of the exchange's establishment of the Tourées festival.
Four other films, all in French with English subtitles, will be shown for the festival in the next four weeks. Tickets are $2 per film.
Cause of capsizing remains a mystery
BOATING ACCIDENT
...
Meredith L. Kaiser/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Divers float alongside the Ethan Allen after they raised it from the bottom of Lake George in upstate New York, Monday. Twenty people died when the boat capsized.
Rules for life jackets, weight may have added to problems
BY CHRIS CAROLA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wayne Bennett, State Police superintendent, said that investigators do not know what initially caused the Ethan Allen to tip. But he said passengers either slid or were thrown to one side of the boat after it began lurching.
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. — The passengers aboard a tour boat that capsized on Lake George were sitting on long benches and slid sharply to one side of the vessel just before it flipped over, killing 20 people, authorities said Monday.
"And that, of course, would automatically mean an even bigger shift of weight," Bennett said.
The captain of the 40-foot
glass-enclosed boat told authorities it was hit by waves from at least one other vessel and turned over as he tried to steer out of them, authorities said earlier Monday. The boat flipped so fast that none of the 47 passengers — all senior citizens, most of them from Michigan — could put on a life jacket.
There was no immediate confirmation that another boat that could have churned up waves was in the area, and survivors were giving investigators differing versions of what happened before the boat went down, authorities said.
Eight people were hospitalized with shortness of breath, broken bones and other injuries.
Mark Rosenker, acting chairman of the National Transpor
tation Safety Board, said investigators would focus on such things as the history of the boat, the pilot's record, whether the boat had enough crew members, and whether the number of passengers played a role in the accident.
"It's much too early to determine what happened out on that lake," Rosenker said.
The boat's captain, Richard Paris, was the only crew member aboard, but state rules allow for just one crewman for up to 50 passengers. Also, New York state regulations require that life jackets be made available for every person on a boat, but people do not have to wear them.
Earlier in the day, Bennett said the seats were not secured to the deck. But later, State Police said that was incorrect.
Rep. John Sweeney, R.-N.Y., said investigators are looking at whether there was too much weight on board the boat, even
though the vessel was just below its capacity of 50 people. He said the Coast Guard assumes a weight of 150 pounds per person in calculating a vessel's capacity — an assumption he said may have been off the mark.
Gov. George Pataki said licenses for two other boats operated by the Ethan Allen's owner, Shoreline Cruises, have been suspended while the investigation continues. He and others, however, said people should not draw any conclusions about the operator.
"I do not believe there is any criminal culpability on any of the parties we have spoken with," said Sheriff Larry Cleveland.
On Monday afternoon, crews using inflatable bags raised the sunken vessel 70 feet to the surface. They planned to pump it out and tow it to shore. NTSB investigators will then examine the wreck.

FBI's emphasis on terrorism decreases crime investigation
BY MARK SHERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating only about half the criminal cases it did before the Sept. 11 attacks because of its focus on stopping terrorist attacks.
Investigations of financial fraud, bank robberies and some drug cases have suffered as a result, but other federal agencies as well as state and local law enforcement have picked up the slack in most areas, Justice Department inspector general Glenn A. Fine said Monday.
"This reprioritization has affected not only the FBI's operations but also the investigative operations of other law enforcement agencies," Fine said.
The FBI did not comment.
Four years after the Sept. 11 attacks and FBI Director Robert Mueller's decision to make counterterrorism the bureau's top priority, the decline in traditional criminal investigations was steepest in drug cases and extended to organized crime, bank robberies, civil rights, health care fraud, corporate fraud and public corruption, Fine said in a 194-page audit.
Portions he said contained sensitive law enforcement information were blacked out.
Among the FBI's traditional criminal investigations, gang, obscenity and child pornography cases increased. Fine said. The report looked at cases opened and the deployment of agents in the 2000 government spending year — the last full
The FBI opened 62,782 criminal investigations in 2000 and 34,451 last year, a drop of 45 percent. Fine said. Drug cases declined by 70 percent, he said.
There were 2,200 fewer field agents investigating criminal matters in 2004, he said.
year before the attacks — and in 2004.
Drugs squads in some FBI field offices have been decimated. The Miami office lost six of its nine drug squads between 2000 and 2004. In Los Angeles, 57 of the 79 agents focusing on drug cases were reassigned.
"FBI field managers reported that the timeliness and quality of such investigations has been impaired," the report said. The Drug Enforcement Administration has filled the gap in some cities, the report said.
State and local law enforcement officials said they felt the effect of changes at the FBI most keenly in complex financial fraud cases that the FBI handled before Sept. 11.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, disputed that the new focus on terrorism has meant that other crimes go uninvestigated.
"Ninety-six percent of law enforcement assets in this country are at the state and local level," said Pasco, who runs the nation's largest union for law enforcement officers.

The Justice Department also has directed DEA and other federal agencies to take more responsibility for crimes in their domains, Pasco said.

Study abroad
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SA
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
One option for KU students wanting to study abroad in Israel is to drop from the University, study in an Israeli school, then re-apply to the University.
"If a student wanted to study abroad in Israel and went through the process of dropping out of KU, they could possibly lose their scholarships, if they had any." Johnson said.
Tanya Johnson, Dallas junior, has been to Israel many times, and she said she wished to return some day to study.
She said the guidelines of the ban were unfair to her and other students.
Satchell echoed this. She said if a student wanted to study in any of the nations with a travel warning, they would have to drop out of the University and then enroll in the foreign college themselves.
Lauren Rabinowitz, Minnetonka, Minn., sophomore, said she thought the University's ban was unnecessary.
She said students do risk losing financial aid if they choose this route.
"I don't think it's fair. If students want to go they should be allowed to." Rabinowitz said. "Other schools are letting their students go. They're also afraid that another incident like the Shannon Martin murder will happen, but that was a different situation."
Martin was murdered in May 2001 while studying abroad in Costa Rica.
if they went to a country on the state department's list of travel warnings.
Satchell said the Martin incident was different from the situations students would face
"There was no travel warning on Costa Rica when Shannon went," Satchell said. "The policy was around before Shannon. It was not created as a result of her."
Jay Lewis, executive director of Hillel, an organization that often sends students to Israel, said the places where students would study are not the same places that make headlines in international news.
"I have full confidence in their (the students') safety. They are not going to places you see on CNN," Lewis said. "They're not studying in Gaza or the West Bank.
"They need to take their own stance," Johnson said. "If they see their students wanting to be there, they need to make it happen. It's the student's right and choice."
Satchell also said the dangers in Israel and other countries with travel warnings were different from Martin's experience. Many of the warnings are in place because of terrorism or in the case of Uzbekistan, a political coup.
Johnson also said that because other schools let their students go, it was only fair for the University to do the same.
Johnson and students interested in studying in Israel are working on a proposal to the study abroad program.
The proposal is a waiver for students to sign that would allow them to study in Israel on the grounds that if something happened to the student, the University would not be held
Other attempts to lift the ban have been unsuccessful thus far. Students attempted lifting the ban by creating a petition.
According to Satchell and Study Abroad Director Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, a few years ago a student had contacted Congressman Dennis Moore (D-Kan.), who later agreed with the University's stance. Satchell said the University policy was unlikely to alter.
responsible.
"I doubt the policy will change. It's been that way for years." Satchell said.
Lewis said he thought that the situation in Israel was improving, and that the University would recognize the demand to study abroad in Israel was too great to continue barring students from attending college in the Middle East nation.
"We're optimistic they'll allow study abroad in Israel," Lewis said.
With the removal of Israeli residents from the West Bank and Gaza during the past few weeks, these students hope tensions will decrease in the area, thus allowing travel restrictions and warnings in the area to be removed and removing the ban on study abroad in Israel.
"I hope it (Israeli removal) will decrease attacks in the area," Rabinowitz said. "Most of Israel is already very safe. Most the attacks were in the West Bank or Gaza, so hopefully the security risk will go down."

Last year, state funding for the University was $136.6 million. In 2003-04, it was $132 million. In 2002-03, it was $131 million.
Chevron, the natural gas company the University uses, guarantees a discount on natural gas prices because the University did a study three years ago to make campus more energy-efficient.
Other Kansas universities asked the state for more funding to help pay increasing energy costs, said Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Kansas Board of Regents, which approves the universities' budgets.
The University spent $18 million dollars on upgrading buildings

In 2004-05, utility costs continued to exceed the budget. The price per 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas went from $5.25 to $7.10, a 40 percent increase. The University budgeted $2 million, but spent $3.1 million.

Some of the conservation alternatives for this winter include maintaining occupied rooms at 69 degrees, turning off equipment that does not automatically shut off and cutting hot water from some buildings.

Teach for America: Does it make the grade?
By the time children growing up in low-income communities are 9 years old, they are already three grade levels behind 9-year-olds in high-income areas.
This means that there are children who are barely able to read "Sesame Street" books who should be able to read "Harry Potter."
Even more alarming is that students in low-income communities, by virtue of where they are born, are seven times less likely to graduate from college than their more-wealthy peers.
Teach For America believes that ending this educational inequity must be our generation's civil rights movement.
Teach For America recruits the top students from all fields. These students are leaders who have the qualities to excel as a teacher despite immense challenges and will ultimately assume great influence in our country.
We have seen it proven time and again that the teachers who are able to move their students to the greatest academic heights are those with determination and drive.
It doesn't matter what students"major is. On average, Teach For America corps members, of whom only 1 percent are education majors, make more than 10percent more growth than other new teachers (as stated in the CREDO survey, 2001).
The impact of Teach For America teachers is even more clearly shown by the fact that 74 percent of all principals of Teach For America corps members surveyed stated that they were more effective than traditional new teachers, and 63 percent went as far as to say they were more effective than all of the teachers at their school.
We want the University's outstanding seniors to join our movement; The children in the communities we serve need and deserve you to.
This year, 3,500 corps members are affecting the lives of more than 500,000 students.
During their two years, corps members gain the insight and experience to become more effective leaders in the movement to end educational inequity and become lifelong advocates of change within their chosen field, whether it is education, medicine, law, business or science.
For those of you who want to fight for social justice, it is important to remember that you cannot make important changes if you don't know exactly what the problems are.
Corps members serve as fulltime,paid teachers throughout the country in San Francisco, Chicago,Miami, Washington,D.C., rural North Carolina and more than a dozen other locations.
As a KU student, you are privileged with an excellent education that has and will continue to open doors for you.
Many of you were also privileged growing up to have dedicated teachers that instilled you with the basics and a strong foundation for future learning.
Every child deserves this type of education, and now you have the ability to help provide it to those who may not otherwise.
Some of you have experienced the unequal conditions
that exist in many urban and rural schools firsthand.
Now you know better than anyone who vital a good education is and you have the ability to provide it to others in this similar circumstance.
Your education says you're able; you have to decide that you're willing.
We will have KU alumni and Teach For America corps members and alumni coming to campus to speak about their experiences during the coming months. If you're even slightly interested, please come to one of these events.
After 15 years, Teach For America is even more committed than ever to our mission.
We've seen that educational disparities do not need to exist, but to truly reach the day when where you're from doesn't determine your educational outcome, we need the most committed and exceptional among you to step up and lead our efforts.

Math has always been one of the toughest subjects for college students.
The class' toughness is increased because it has nothing at all to do with what most of us are studying.

But, because we are forced to take these classes, it makes sense that we should get an "A" in them and not just any "A," a 100-percent "A." To do this you can do one of two things.
Why on earth do we need to take any math classes if we're studying underwater basket weaving, competitive lawn-gnome tossing or something equally as useless, such as political science?

First, you could study long hours into the night to make sure you can integrate and find the derivative of every type of formula your teacher might throw at you on a test.
Or you can figure out how to get the correct answer on your TI-83 calculator so that you can always check your answer and make sure you're correct before turning in your test.

Exit out of that screen, then press the math button on your calculator and hit 9 to get "fnInt" to appear on your screen. Press the Vars button then and hit the right arrow once to move into Y-functions, choose "y1" and hit enter.
The first trick: Integrate anything on your calculator. Hit the "y=" button in the top left of your calculator, then enter in whatever formula you'd like to integrate into the Y1 section.
Type a comma then an X, another comma and then your lower bound, and another comma and your upper bound then hit enter and voila!
Your problem will be integrated.
So, if you were to integrate your
function from 0 to 10 it would
look like this before you hit enter.
"fint(Y1, X. 0, 10)".
The second trick: Check any derivative on your calculator.
Go back into the "y=" screen and go all the way down to Y6, then hit the math button and hit number 8 to put "nDeriv" into the formula line.
After that, go back into the Vars button and put in Y1 then a comma and an X and another comma and an X. So, it should look like this: nDeriv(Y1, X.X).
Now simply put whatever formula you want to find the derivative for in the Y1 line and what you think the derivative is in the Y2 line and you can check your answer by going to the table (hit the 2nd button then the Graph button) and making sure that the numbers under Y6 and Y2 are equal.
I these are two neat tricks that will make sure that you know if your answer is correct and should guarantee you an "A" in the class.
Make sure that you always show your work though as math teachers are infamous for their dislike of writing only the answer.

TFA claims "74% of all Principalsof Teach For America corps members surveyed stated that they were more effective then traditional new teachers."
If TFA was truly committed to reform, it would provide non-exclusive support to all first-year teachers, not simply their corps members.
The National Education Association cites lack of support as the number one obstacle first-year teachers face.

Accepted applicants then teach in a rural or urban school for two years upon completion of little more than this month of intensive training.
TFA neglects the fact that successful educators are not manufactured.
There is no such thing as "Neurosurgeons for America" for a reason.
EDITORIAL BOARD
Rather, a combination of pre-professional training, in-class experience and professional development creates effective teachers.

Also: The Kansas will not print guest columns that attack another columnist
Educators continually struggle to be recognized as the professionals that they are. TFA undermines these efforts by suggesting that their "specially-trained" college graduates can outperform fully licensed and trained professional educators in a matter of two short years.
Teaching builds upon itself, and takes years to master. A two-year commitment adds little, if anything, to the profession as a whole.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kansas blew it on new logo
On the same day (Sept. 30) that the Kansan ran a story on needed maintenance tasks that the University is deferring for lack of money, the Lawrence Journal-World disclosed that the University paid $89,000 for a new logo similar to the one that cost Kutztown University in Pennsylvania a mere $20,000.
Meanwhile, the KU Libraries are throwing out books in dumpsters, the Provost is resigning on surprisingly short notice and for the first time that I remember, the registrar screwed up the fall final-exam schedule. Contrary to the apparent motive for the new logo, the University's identity isn't hard to define. This is Klutztown University!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2005: You discover that your efforts are sometimes futile, but not because of a lack of imagination or determination on your part. This year, your endurance might be tested more than in the past. Focusing on your long-term goals will help you move through different situations. Creativity is your strong suit, and as a result, your income will increase as long as you are not changing fields or overspending. If you are single, you might be a bit possessive when you hook up with a special person. Often, this person could go on a tirade. That behavior has to do with him or her, not you. If you are attached, easygoing with your partner. He or she might want to redefine parts of your relationship. Scorpio helps you make money.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Don't buck the trends. Key discussions today will probably need to happen again. You might only be adding to your frustration. Investigate and evaluate, but take no major actions. Tonight: Listen to a key friend or loved one.
★★ Though you have lots of energy, you still might need to redo a project or anything you do right now. Perhaps you could relax or get some exercise. Play it low-key for now. Tonight: Respond to a call or an invitation.
GEMINI (Mav 21-June 20)
***** You are up for a key talk, be it about a personal matter or a creative project. Though you are a sign that communicates well, you will have to repeat key discussions right now. Don't assume that someone is getting the gist of your message. Tonight: Lounge around.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ If you want to handle a domestic or investment situation, postpone it for a day. You might not hit a home run right now, but instead get thrown out of the game. Tonight: Allow your imagination to lead.
★★★ You might think you are quite direct and concise, and you might be. The problem might be your audience and their lack of ability to concentrate
right now. Instead, return calls; send out memos; catch up on errands.
Tonight: Mosey on home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★ Be careful with any decisions, situations or actions that could impact your finances. Postpone anything having to do with this segment of your life, if you can. Later in the day, make calls and schedule a get-together. Tonight: Talk to a close relative.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★* Sometimes your words fall on deaf ears. Such is the case now. Even if someone shakes his head as if he understands or is in agreement, don't count on not having to address the issue again. Be careful when dealing with an associate. Tonight: Order in.
★★ The lower your profile, the better off you are right now. You might hit a logjam if you try to move a situation or project ahead. Even if it looks like you made progress, you might have a backflare later. Relax. Tonight: Nap, then go out on the town.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Use the daytime to catch up on
news or to network. You might have some spare energy that you want to plug into a project. Careful, because you could make a mistake or trip up. Focus on others. Tonight: Why not an early bedtime?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ Your leadership skills can only be enhanced by your creativity. The problem lies in that others simply don't get it right now. Relax and take it easy. Do as much as you can by yourself. Tonight: Friends surround you.
AQUARIUS (Jan, 20-Feb.18)
★★★ Taking an overview might be tough with someone, or an issue might invade your thoughts. Still, you can do it. Imagine what it would be like to be the other person involved. Empathy and understanding will save the day. Tonight: Call or visit with an older relative or friend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Work with others, knowing that anything can change, even if you think you have reached a solid decision. Don't worry, but try to absorb as much as you can about where others are coming from. Tonight: Seek solutions rather than wallow in problems.

Worst-of-the-worst Royals need a break
BY DOUG TUCKER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Being a laughingstock of the league, the Kansas City Royals naturally spawned plenty of jokes.
Some of the best ones even made the late-night comedy shows and brought a chuckle to Allard Baird, who found laughs hard to come by as general manager of the worst team in the majors.
Tough, but abundant. The Royals of 2005 — grittily sticking to a no-pain, no-gain rebuilding campaign — finished 56-106, an all-time low in the 37-year history of a once-proud franchise.
"Losses bother me," Baird said. "Jokes do not. The losses were tough."
They suffered through a team record 19-game losing streak while dropping at least 100 games for the third time in four years.
Jose Lima (5-16), the worst pitcher on the worst team, had an ERA of 6.99.
No one in baseball history with at least 30 starts ever had one higher. Runnelys Hernandez (8-14) led in victories despite going 0-5 with a 9.15 ERA in his final nine starts. It's the lowest club-leading total the Royals ever had.
And what about that unbelievable rally by Cleveland? Only two other visiting teams in baseball history ever scored 11 runs in the ninth inning.
Baird insists, however, that things are finally turning around. Phase I of his long-term reclamation project is complete, he said, with the arrival of young players such as catcher John Buck, third baseman Mark Teahen, shortstop Angel Berroa and pitchers like Zack Greinke, Mike MacDougal, Mike Wood and Hernandez.
Promising but inconsistent, they all struggled at times. Most were hurried through the minors and sometimes foundered while learning on the fly.
"People ask who our best prospects are. They're here. They're right here," Baird said. "Now we have a core group we feel are ready to move into the big leagues next season that were already here."
"I'd like to compete in 2007," Baird said. "That's what I've said all along."
Next comes Phase II — adding some veterans and freeagent finds to complement the developing youngsters.
"That's when we start looking for more results," Baird said. "We had this year to go full steam ahead. Next year we're in that next phase where we're looking for more results."
There'll be more money. Owner David Glass has said the payroll is going up from around $36.9 million to more than $50 million — paltry to large-market powers but an upgrade for budget-conscious Kansas City.
And Phase III?

Panthers outlast Favre magic
BY JENNA FRYER
BY JENNA FRYER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Brett Favre showed he still has some Monday night magic — just not enough to prevent the Green Bay Packers from getting off to their worst start in 17 years.
Favre threw four touchdown passes but couldn't overcome two early turnovers that the Carolina Panthers used to build a big lead and then held on for a 32-29 victory.
The Packers fell to 0-4 for the first time since 1988.
Rallying Green Bay from a 19-point third-quarter deficit, Favre threw two touchdown passes and for two 2-point conversions in the fourth quarter and had the Packers in position to possibly win the game on their final drive.
Favre threw the ball to Donald Driver past the first down line but Chris Gamble knocked the ball out of his hands and it fell incomplete.
But with running back Ahman Green on the sidelines with an injured knee and no timeouts left, Favre had to do it all on his own when Green Bay got the ball back with 1:58 to play. He completed two passes before Carolina (2-2) stopped the Packers on a fourth-and-2.
Favre, a 15-year veteran and future Hall of Famer who is possibly playing his final season, stood alone at the 44-yard line. Soon, Carolina tight end Kris Mangum, a fellow Mississippian, walked over and patted the dejected Favre on the helmet. Mike Wahle, the left guard who spent seven seasons protecting Favre before signing with Carolina, embraced him.
Chuck Burton/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme throws the ball as he is hit by Green Bay Packers' Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila during the first quarter in Charlotte, N.C., Monday. The Panthers held out for a 32-29 victory.
The Panthers let out a sigh of relief after nearly giving one away.
Jake Delhomme threw two touchdown passes and Stephen Davis ran for two more as the Panthers built an early lead and put themselves in position to ride out an easy win.
Perhaps that's just where Favre wanted them.
17
"I was just praying for our defense to get a stop," Delhomme said. "He was awesome tonight. I'm just honored to be on the same field with him."
what seemed to be an insurmountable lead.
But after a Packers punt, Delhomme fumbled the ball away when his arm was hit by Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila. Green Bay recovered and Favre made the Panthers pay for it one play later with a 16-yard scoring strike to Donald Lee.
Trailing 26-7 midway through the third quarter, Favre turned it up a level. He led by example on an 80-yard scoring drive, sprinting up the middle for a 12-yard gain on third-and-8 then finishing it off with a 26-yard TD pass to Driver.
His finest work, though,
came on the Packers' next drive.
Favre was 8-of-12 on a 90-yard drive, hitting Antonio Chatman on a 4-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone.
Favre finished 28-of-47 for 303 yards and four touchdowns. It was his 19th game of four or more touchdown passes, second to Dan Marino's record 21.
Favre threw the 2-point conversion to Robert Ferguson to make it 32-29 with 3:07 to play.
The pass to Driver was Favre's 50 touchdown pass on Monday Night Football, second only to Marino's 74, and it cut Carolina's lead to 26-13.
The Panthers pushed it to 32-13 on Davis' second score of the game, a 1-yard run with 14:44 to play that gave them
The Panthers were suddenly hapless on offense, going three-and-out to give the ball back to Favre for one final chance.

Chiefs fumble home match
Too many turnovers make victory unrecoverable
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The day after, everybody was still blinking their eyes and wondering how in the world this happened.
How could the Kansas City Chiefs, with what they feel is one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL, let a robust 18-point lead dissolve into a disquieting 37-31 loss?
One part of the equation is clearly Donovan McNabb and the strength of a Philadelphia team that represented the NFC last year in the Super Bowl. Once he got rolling, McNabb was unstoppable, jumping on every mistake and leading the Eagles on a stunning 31-0 scoring blitz.
But another, more painful reason was poor execution by the Chiefs after they seized leads of 17-0 and 24-6.
The feeling around Arrowhead Stadium on a gloomy
Monday afternoon was that without four Kansas City turnovers, not even McNabb and the Eagles could have come all the way back.
"It was very disappointing," said Dante Hall, who returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, but whose fumble during a later return led to a Philadelphia score.
Well, it had something to do with them. Although he was supposedly playing with an assortment of aches and pains including a painful sports hernia, McNabb threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns.
it's hard to swallow when you beat yourself. That's just tough, tough, tough to digest when you look back at all the mistakes you made."
Not in Arrowhead.
Terrell Owens caught 11 balls for 171 vards and a TD.
Coaching may also have been a factor. The Chiefs got two touchdown and a field goal early and seemed to be moving at
will. But then the Eagles adjusted their defense and the Chiefs managed only 72 total yards in the second half until their final touchdown drive.
By then, the Eagles had taken a 37-24 lead.
"The best thing that could have happened to us in the second half is to convert some third downs and not turn the ball over," said coach Dick Vermeil. "They got 23 points off turnovers. We had a couple of dropped passes."
It was the second straight loss for the Chiefs after a 2-0 start. A slow start at Denver on Monday night led to a 30-10 defeat.
"We were down 17-0 (at Denver) and we weren't able to come back," said tight end Tony Gonzalez. "They (Philadelphia) were down 17-0 and the crowd was in it, the team was in it and we just couldn't get it done."
Roaf's hamstring injury is expected to be healed in time for the next game against Washington on Oct. 16. Also back will be cornerback Eric Warfield and offensive lineman John Welbourn after serving their fourgame suspensions.

"Being a part of a team like this is indescribable," Sauer said. "We have tons of fun together off the field, but then when it comes time to play soccer, we work hard for each other and against each other, but the moment we step off the field we are best friends again."
In fact, when players have free time, they spend that time together, too. Bush said some of her older teammates would spend time in her residence hall room just to watch television.

The team's chemistry also helps newcomers to succeed. Kansas started four freshmen in its last match at Iowa State. Bush and freshmen midfielders Missy Geha and jenny Murtaugh have started all 12 matches.
"Everybody just helped us ease into it and were like 'OK,
class doesn't matter here. You guys are freshmen, but you're a part of this team. It doesn't matter when you step on this field. Do what you've got to do and we're going to win — together," Bush said.
“It’s definitely something that has gotten better every year,” Karfonta said. “Just like anything, you have to work at it. We all want it so we work at it.”
Despite falling into a three-game winless slump, the Jayhawks knew they had something unique. No amount of talent could match the way the team played the game together or how they defined teamwork.
Karfonta said the sense of family among the Kansas seniors had always been there but seemed to have gotten stronger.
"I think teamwork is knowing that you're going to go out every game and bust your butt off, not only for yourself, but for each other," Bush said. "It's picking each other up off the ground when you've had a bad day. It's about each other — not about yourself."

Chicago looks to end slump
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trying to end an 88-year championship drought, the White Sox need only look across the field to find hope.
After all, the Red Sox finally won it on. Why not Chicago?
"It would be comparable if we could ever pull this thing off; it would be a lot of parallel lines to what they have done," slugger Paul Konerko said Monday.
Shoeless Joe Jackson, Happy Felsch and Eddie Cicotte led Chicago to its last World Series title in 1917, just a few years before the famous Black Sox scandal ended their major league league
As these White Sox prepared for their playoff opener against Boston, other teams were thinking big, too.
The St. Louis Cardinals want to make up for last year's wipeout in the World Series, and the Atlanta Braves are fired of their annual October flops.
Boston is the AL wild card for the third straight season — and that might be the perfect spot in these playoffs, which begin Tuesday afternoon with the NL West champion San Diego Padres playing in St. Louis.
In the American League, Derek Jeter and the Yankees haven't won it all in five years, and that's too long as far as they're concerned.
The Los Angeles Angels have the bulpen to get deep into October, and the Red Sox are hoping to repeat after winning their first title since 1918.
The last three World Series champions have been wild cards, including the Angels in 2002. They upset New York that year and are looking forward to opening the rematch at home tonight.

Texas poised to upset Oklahoma in rivalry

Texas is ranked second in the country and is favored to beat Oklahoma Saturday,but Longhorns coach Mack Brown said that wouldn't matter much in that rivalry.
Stoops said his team's 43-21 victory against Kansas State couldn't have come at a better time.
The Longhorns (4-0,1-0) haven't beaten the Sooners (2-2,1-0) since 1999-Bob Stoops' first season with the team.
Despite losses to UCLA and Texas Christian, Brown said Oklahoma would be competitive against Texas.

Rams scramble to fill spot at tight end
BY JIM SALTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Rams tight end Roland Williams will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, coach Mike Martz said Monday.
Cam Cleeland, 30, who played for the Rams in 2003 and 2004, may return. He was expected in St. Louis today, but Martz wasn't certain if Cleland would be ready for Sunday's game at home against Seattle.
"He will have to have a major repair of the knee," Martz said.
Williams, a starter for the 1999 Rams team that won the Super Bowl and back in St. Louis this season after a four-year absence, tore ligaments in his right knee midway through the first quarter in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the New York Giants.
The loss sets about a continuation of musical chairs at

the offseason. Cleeland was not re-signed. Williams caught three passes for 21 yards this season.
Martz said his game plan for the Giants game had called for running Steven Jackson behind frequent two-tight-end sets, a plan that ended when Williams was hurt on a tackle by Curtis Deloatch less than eight minutes into the game.
Cleeland, meanwhile, played for the Rams in 2003 and 2004. He caught just seven passes for 57 yards last season, but his touchdown catch beat Seattle in the first round of the playoffs.

Cardinals relief pitcher injured
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Cardinals reliever Al Reyes tore a ligament in his right elbow in the regular-season finale and will require reconstructive surgery, forcing him to miss the playoffs.
Reyes, who was 4-2 with a 2.15 ERA in 65 games with three saves, was the team's top middle reliever and was equally tough on right- and left-handed hitters. He struck out the side with the bases loaded to get the win on Friday and had 67 strikeouts in 62 2-3 innings while holding opponents to a .177 batting average.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Al Reyes was in the middle of any situation in the last three or four innings when we were trying to close out a game," manager Tony La Russa said. "He had a great year."
La Russa said it was just another obstacle for a team that had played much of the year without four starters and also would be without third baseman Scott Rolen for the postseason. Rolen had season-ending shoulder surgery in August.
The 35-year-old Reyes had reconstructive surgery on the elbow in 1995. The injury is expected to sideline him for a year.
Trainer Barry Weinberg said Monday that Reyes had not reported any problems with the elbow before the injury in the sixth inning Sunday against the Reds, and he left the game with a 3-2 count on Felipe Lopez. An exam on Monday morning confirmed the team's suspicions, Weinberg said.
"You make too big of a thing of it and it sounds like 'How do we win without him?' and we have to," La Russia said. "It's not important who takes his spot."
Weinberg said Jim Edmonds, who didn't start the last two games of the regular season because of shoulder soreness, would be in the lineup for the opener of the Cardinals' first-round playoff series against the Padres on Tuesday.
"It's bad luck," Weinberg said.
"I'ts horrible luck for him."
"It was a one-pitch episode," Weinberg said. "He felt some discomfort and knew it wasn't right."
"He's doing much better," Weinberg said. "He'll be ready to go."

Coach may use redshirt freshman to spark offense
Mangino considers change
BY RYAN COLAIanni
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A weak performance this weekend by a trio of Jayhawk quarterbacks could lead to a new face in the backfield.
After the offense struggled to move the ball in Saturday's 30-17 loss at Texas Tech, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino talked Sunday about the likelihood of using freshman Kerry Meier this season.
"We still think we are still in the part of the season where we are working with him every day, trying to see if he can be ready to play in games here in the near future," Mangino said.
"We are really not to the point where we would say just
Major
Meier
yet that we would absolutely redshirt him, but we haven't made a decision."
On Saturday, senior quarterback Brian Luke started, but was ineffective.
He went 13-for-27 for 109 passing yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions.
Junior Adam Barmann was 8-for-10 for 45 yards, while freshman Marcus Herford went 0-for-1.
Mangino stressed that work on the practice field this week would be key in determining if Meier would play this season.
Mangino said he now plans to keep having Meier receive repetitions during practice to help him develop.
He said there were still a few weeks to decide if he would put the redshirt on Meier and that special circumstances would have to occur to make him consider using Meier this season.
"We would play him after five or six games if we needed to, if we felt we were in position to compete for a championship," Mangino said.
Meier was in contention for the starting job during training camp this summer, but he underwent a procedure just before the Jayhawks' first game to fix a heart problem. That kept Meier out of practice for more than a week.
Mangino said that any decision to redshirt Meier would be discussed with the quarterback.
"We want him to feel comfortable, whether he should
play at any particularly point in time." Mangino said.
During the Big 12 coaches' teleconference Monday, Mangino didn't say that Luke would be his starter for the game against Kansas State.
Mangino said that it would be important for his offense to play two halves of football.
The Jayhawks were shut out in the first half against Texas Tech before scoring 17 points in the second half. The team also struggled to score in the first half against Louisiana Tech.

While competitors focus on their opponents, champions focus on one another.
The Kansas soccer team, returning from a Big 12 Conference championship, has captured what many teams only attempt. It has found the basis for success, which is more important than talent, awards, accolades and All-Americans; team chemistry.
"I think a lot of times the difference between an average team and an exceptional team is team chemistry," Senior forward Kimberly Karfonta said, "We work at it because we are a family."
Although accurately measuring team unity may be difficult, freshman forward Jessica Bush said she noticed differences between Kansas and its opponents.
"We have very talented athletes on our team, but there are a lot of things that set us apart from other teams," Bush said. "I don't know a lot about teams in the Big 12, but so far, in the games that we have played, it's our team chemistry."
Junior defender Afton Sauer praised the coaching staff, led by Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis, for contributing to team unity.
"Even our team chemistry with the coaches is big." Sauer

said. "We have a very good relationship with our coaches that most teams don't have. Coach has opened up his own family to us, and that is something really special, and that you don't see in other programs. His family is our family."
The soccer women may have a bond to rival other Kansas teams as well.
"I'm not really sure, but if other teams are like ours I'd be really shocked," Bush said. "We're all really good friends, and it's just kind of rare that you see that."
Sauer said despite their tight bonds, team members pushed each other to improve every day.
we never go easy in practice, so this makes our team even better on game days." Sauer said. "We know each others' limits. It shows on the field that we are willing to work for every single person on the team."

Big 12 Conference play began last weekend, and the North didn't fare well, winning only two games.
Nebraska and Colorado were the only two teams to register victories. Kansas State lost to Oklahoma on the road, Missouri lost its conference home opener against Texas, and Kansas was unable to upset Texas Tech.
Nebraska had the closest game of the weekend, defeating nationally-ranked Iowa State at home in double overtime.

"The OU game wasn't really a contest. If it was, we weren't involved," Snyder said. "Kansas has developed into a good football team, and we will have our hands full. Before focusing on them, we have to get our own game figured out."
The Kansas vs. Kansas State game is set to kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday and will be televised

Football success has price
LUBBOCK, Texas - The game is called college football, but this is more accurately a football college.
During the past five years, Texas Tech has undergone a nearly $90 million renovation of its football facilities and the surrounding area. The result is top-notch facilities that would impress any recruit. At Kansas, Mark Mangino has spent the past two years lobbying for a similar, $40 million facility.
But Texas Tech's expansion has come at another cost. The neighborhood across the street from the stadium has been bulldozed to make room for a hotel. More land has been cleared nearby to make room a highway that will run from Interstate 27 directly to the stadium.
The next time Mark Mangino or Lew Perkins say Kansas needs new football facilities to compete, remember that keeping up with the Joneses — or the Jones SBC Stadium — comes with a cost.
Perkins has handled the issue commendably, assuring students and staff that the building will not have an effect on graduation ceremonies that take place on the hill. At some point, however, the demands of a top-25 football team come in direct conflict with those of a college community like the one in Lawrence.
Currently, the football team has to take a bus from the offices in Anschutz Sports Pavilion to Memorial Stadium to practice. When the final $22 million is raised for the $40 million facility, a site will have to be chosen.
If the choice is a site near Memorial Stadium, no matter the exact location, it will cause an uproar from students and faculty. But Mangino and his staff would likely be unhappy with any other location.
in texas, where football is the state religion and the Red Raiders are beginning to contend for major bowl games, residents are fine with devoting several blocks of campus to football. It also helps that the campus is on a wide-open piece of land.
Lawrence residents claim to want a successful football team, but only in the same way that you want a clean bedroom. It'd be nice, but you don't want to expend any effort to make it happen.
At Kansas, Mangino has none of these luxuries. He coaches in a city where the first basketball practice will be televised, but the first conference football game was not
Perkins is committed to making the Jayhawks a consistently good football team, and Mangino is the right man for the job. Once he is provided with the right tools, he should be able to compete for the same caliber of players as Texas Tech.
Right now, Lawrence residents want it all. They want a big-game atmosphere on Saturdays and a chance at going to January bowl games. They also want the area around Memorial Stadium to remain untouched, giving football a small corner of campus but keeping everything else intact.
It doesn't work both ways. Schools like Texas Tech have raised the bar, and it won't be lowered anytime soon. There is a cost to being on top, and right now it's one that most Kansas fans aren't willing to accept.
That's why the Jayhawks will continue to play college football while Texas Tech is a football college.

Nicknamed the "Punisher," comedian Carlos Mencia has been described as an equal opportunity offender, and he spared no race or ethnicity with his sardonic barbs, performing for a sold-out crowd at the Lied Center last night.
For two hours, Mencia quipped and lampooed a myriad of ethnicities and nationalities with impunity, apologizing for any he missed. Michael Lopez, Kansas City, Kan., senior and member of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization, said Mencia's performance wasn't for people who took themselves seriously.
"You have to come with an open mind and expect to get offended," Lopez said. "But you walk away with a greater appreciation of ethnicities."
Mencia was brought to speak at the University of Kansas by Student Union Activities for Hispanic Heritage Month. Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union planning, helped coordinate with HALO to bring Mencia to campus.
Lopez saw Mencia perform at Stanford & Sons

Mencia, initially named Ned, was born in Honduras, and soon after, his family moved to the United States to East Los Angeles. He was the 17th of 18 children and, as a result of limited space in the house, Mencia was raised by his aunt and uncle, who renamed him Carlos.

Mencia worked the comedy circuit and released his first album "Take A Joke, America" in 2000 to major success. He now stars in his own show, "Mind of Mencia," on Comedy Central.
During his performance, Mencia gestured excitedly and spoke in a frantic, stream of conscious manner with boundless energy and enthusiasm. He saved his best material for ridiculing the obese and mentally handicapped.
But for Mencia, it was all in a day's work.
"If you allow me to get into your psyche and get offended, that's not my fault," Mencia said. "You came here on your free will. Besides, every single joke I say, I've already thought about the 10 ways you can respond, and then I will defend myself still in a non-comedic way."

"I love that he's funny and still brings across a lot of messages too," Hernandez said. "When you make people laugh, that's when they'll really listen."
To clarify, Mencia explained that he did, in fact, limit and define what he thought was offensive.
"If I slap you, it's offensive," Mencia said. "If I call you a cunt, it's funny."
At the end, Mencia left the possibility open for a return to the state of Kansas, which he deemed one of his favorite places to perform.

Giving insight on intelligence
Analyst trainer points out goals
BY ALY BARLAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Candice Rukes/KANSAN
The United States government, since Sept. 11, has received more criticism for its use of national intelligence, and much of it is well-deserved, William Nolte, chancellor of the National Intelligence University, said at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Tuesday.
?
As leader of the National Intelligence University, Nolte educates and trains intelligence analysts. He said a primary goal in improving the intelligence capabilities was to improve the analysts themselves.
Nolte said one way of doing this was to encourage the analysts to be self-critical. They needed to be able to ask questions and admit problems.
One problem Nolte cited in the government's intelligence agencies was inadequate coordination of information sharing, such as the issue of what information to release and to whom.
"We are not just in the information-sharing business," Nolte said. "We are in the information-protecting business."
The intelligence agencies of the U.S. government have gone through a number of transitions in the last 50 years, but there was still room for improvement. Nolte said.
Intelligence was initially used only in times of war, but once the United States became a world power there was a greater need for intelligence. In 1947, the National Security Act created the National Intelligence Agency.
Another transition Nolte said was key was bringing espionage under legislative oversight.
Nolte said people praised the intelligence by comparing its current status to past progress. But he warned that statistics could be misleading when the external environment was not
considered. Issues that intelligence encounter are continually changing as well, so intelligence must keep up. Since Sept. 11, the national intelligence agencies have been pressured to improve communications, but recent events have again demonstrated deficiencies in the system.
William F. Nolte, chancellor at the National Intelligence University spoke in Hansen Hall at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics last night. Noite is a National Security Agency officer and a former deputy assistant director of central intelligence.
said it was the individual citizen's responsibility to voice his or her level of comfort with government encroachment on civil liberties.
"That's not our call. That's your call," Nolte said. "We don't get to do what we do unless the American people support us."
"I look back and have two words for my friends: Hurricane Katrina." Nolte said.
As a reaction to past intelligence failures, Nolte said excessive centralization was something he wanted to avoid. He
When an audience member asked Nolte what Americans could do to help the government, Nolte said, "Just be good citizens. I know it sounds silly, but I think it's a very important role."

▼ ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Athlete sues over dismissal from team
Officials say she misused e-mails

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Former Kansas softball player
Jackie Vasquez claimed she was removed from the team and that her scholarship was terminated because she reported a shower incident involving softball coaches to
Pamela P. Gillis
the Athletics Department.
The department, however has a different explanation for why Vasquez was removed from the team.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said she was removed from the team because of misconduct regarding the e-mail account of assistant coach Jennifer Sewell.
According to court documents, Sewell admits to using Vasquez's computer to access her personal e-mail in February 2005. Sewell's personal identification and password were saved to the computer. In a complaint sent to the dean of students, Sewell claimed Vasquez was sharing the information in her e-mails with her fellow teammates .
According to court documents, Vasquez said there were at least five times where it was impossible for her to have accessed Sewell's account because she was at a game, practice or mandatory study hall.
The court ruled Sept. 29 that the Athletics Department was prohibited from stopping Vasquez's participation in preseason and season softball practices and from terminating the remaining two years of her scholarship until an Oct. 14 hearing.
SPEAKER
Vasquez is represented by Law-
rence attorney Albert Lopes.
SEE SUES ON PAGE 4A
"There's obviously things that are being said," Lopes said. "I'm chomping at the bit to refute, but I can't comment."
According to a letter addressed to Vasquez by the dean of students, Vasquez allowed Sewell's e-mail account to be accessed without notification. While it could not be proven whether Vasquez herself accessed the e-mail, the letter said she was responsible for all activity on her computer.

Monk to share story of protest, torture Tibetan was held prisoner 33 years
He is visiting from Oct. 11 to Oct. 19 and plans to attend three public events — two of which are sponsored by the Hall Center for Humanities
Now, 13 years after his release, he is coming to Lawrence to tell his story.
A Tibetan monk, Palden Gyatso, was abused and tortured in prisons and labor camps for 33 years after protecting the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
2014.03.25
— to discuss his experiences and answer questions.
Gyatso
She said in one of Gyatso's torture sessions, an electric rod was placed in his mouth. He lost consciousness and when he woke up he had lost all his teeth. She said Gyatso told her he must have had bad karma, so he accepted it. When he was given dentures, he equated it to good karma.
Ling-Lung Chen, assistant professor of anthropology, said this would be Gyatso's third visit to Lawrence. He last visited in April 2003. During Gyatso's 2003 visit, Chen met him and they discussed his experiences and life.
"During one of our conversations I asked him 'Of all the years in prison, what do you fear the most?' and he said, 'I was most afraid that I would lose compassion for my torturers.' His whole person embodied that kind of quality,' Chen said'.
"That's the kind of attitude that really touched my heart," Chen said.
She was so impressed with Gyatso that she made a commitment to be involved in his activities the next time he visited Lawrence.
When Chen learned Gyatso would tour the U.S. this year, she knew his story needed to be heard. She arranged the events on campus so he could tell his story to the University community.
Chen said when she approached the Hall Center in late June, she presented Gyatso's story and the Hall Center quickly agreed to play host to two events, even on short notice.
Kenneth Massey, undersherriff for Douglas County Corrections, will be part of one of the upcoming round table discussions.
Massey said he was reading Gyatso's book, "The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk," to educate himself on the topic." He said he was looking forward to being a part of the discussion and that it would be an educational experience.
"One area I want to explore is his ability to feel compassion for the people torturing him on a daily basis," he said. "That would be difficult to do, and I'd like to hear him explain how he accomplished that."
The events are scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 12 at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union; 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 14 in the Hall Center for the Humanities, 900 Sunnyside Ave.; and at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 18 in the Lawrence Art Center, 200 W. 9th St.

Who's Who at KU By Erin Wiley editor@kansan.com
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5. 2005
Dr. Stanley Lombardo Director of the Honors Program
Stanley Lombardo is a professor of classics at the University of Kansas. Lombardo teaches Greek and Latin, as well as classes on mythology, literature and culture of ancient Greece. He is well known both on and off campus for his translation of Homer's epic tale "The Iliad."
What inspires you about ancient Greek society?
I don't find ancient Greek society itself very inspiring, except that they did experiment a lot with various forms of government. The Greeks were very competitive, litigious and somewhat hyperactive. I do value Greek culture for its literary and artistic accomplishments, and its citizens, such as Socrates, who were pretty uncompromising in their search for truth.

I'm working now on a translation of Dante's "Inferno."

What inspired you to translate classic works such as "The Iliad" and "The Aeneid?"
When I was in college I wanted to be a poet and I began the study of Greek and Latin so I could read the poets. Literary translation was a natural step. Translating authors such as Homer and Virgil is an opportunity to engage deeply with their poetry, lock eyebrows with the master of old, blend my voice and theirs and make something new.
How are your translations different?
What do you consider is your great at accomplishment in translation

Car-less students find rides online
TRANSPORTATION
- Edited by Becca Evanhoe
BY LOUIS Mora
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDENT WRITER
With no car and the bus route no longer stopping at Lorimar Town Homes, transportation proved difficult for Michelle Tran last year. She had to turn to car pooling for transportation to school but had trouble finding a ride.
This experience sparked the Derby junior to come up with a way to communicate with other students without transportation through the new Web site, KU Carpool. On the Web site, www. ku.edu/~carpool, students can post their information and communicate with others who may be heading to similar destinations.
"It's very flexible," she said. "We want to give people the freedom to post as little or as much information as they want."
Tran said she tried using the commuter board on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union, where students can post messages requesting rides. But when she tried to find out more information about the board, she was sent around to different places and never found an answer.
She said the site provided more organization than the commuter board and was more efficient for students who needed rides to school or transportation during fall break.
Tran said that with increasing gas prices she had received interest from other students. She has already found a ride to Wichita
for fall break through the site.
Kathryn Orth, 2001 KU alumna, stumbled upon the site while looking around the University site.
When she entered the site she found it could help her get back to Wichita for Thanksgiving break. She normally goes back by bus but no longer has to worry about transportation because she found a ride with a member on the site.
Orth said car pooling would save her money and time.
Michael Legg, Great Bend senior, designed the car pooling site with simplicity in mind.
He said there were several options for creating the site but decided to make it more of a message board to provide access to contact information so
that students would not have to travel to the Union.
"It's right there at their finger-tips whenever they want it," he said.
The site has caught the attention of KU Environs. Members are encouraged to use the site to find rides to reduce pollution.
Emelia LaFortune, Tulsa Okla., senior and member of KU Environs, said if students shared rides they could cut down on the carbon dioxide used which impacts the environment.
"With gas prices rising and climate change taking its toll with these two hurricanes, measurements such as KU Carpool are becoming increasingly valuable," she said.

Jefferson softens up for nickel redesign
BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON After nearly 100 years of depicting presidents in somber profiles on the nation's coins, the Mint is trying something different: The new nickel features Thomas Jefferson, facing forward, with the hint of a smile.
"It isn't a silly smile or a smirk, but a sense of optimism that I was trying to convey with the expression," says Jamie Franki, an associate professor of art at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. His drawing was chosen out of 147 entries.

For the past two years, the Mint has changed the design of the nickel every six months to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition, both of which occurred during Jefferson's administration.
The new five-cent coin, which will go into circulation early next year, is the last scheduled change in the nickel's design. Between 1.4 and 1.8 billion of the nickels are expected to go into circulation next year.

Space tourist orbits in Russian rocket
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
— A rich entrepreneur scientist who bought his own ticket to the international space station said from orbit Tuesday that the trip was worth the millions of dollars he paid, and his only fear on launch day was not going.
"This is my fourth day and I'm really enjoying it," Gregory Olsen said at a news conference broadcast from the space station. "Just to look out and see the Earth from about 230 miles up is just great."
The best part, Olsen said,
is "just being here." As for the
reported $20 million he paid
for the 10-day trip, "It's like
the price and value argument. This
is something I wanted to do. I
love doing, so to me, yes, it's
worth the money."
With his launch aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket on Saturday from Kazakhstan, Olsen became the world's third paying space tourist. He made his fortune with Sensors Unlimited Inc. of Princeton, N.J., a company that makes devices for fiberoptic communications and infrared imaging. He is chairman of the board of directors and a co-founder.

Swapping organs could save lives
CHICAGO — More than 63,000 U.S. patients now await a kidney transplant, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. In 2004, 3,897 patients died while waiting for a kidney. But researchers reported a high success rate for a novel kidney-swap program that proponents hope could help relieve the organ shortage.
In a live-donor practice called "kidney paired donations," a patient who needs a kidney is matched up with a compatible stranger; in return, the patient lines up a friend or relative willing to donate an organ to a stranger, too.
In the first U.S. success rate study of such donations, Johns Hopkins University researchers tracked 22 patients who received kidneys from living strangers. Of the 22 transplants, only one failed. There were no deaths.
- The Associated Press
The success rates were comparable to other livedonor transplant rates, said study co-author Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of Johns Hopkins' Comprehensive Transplant Center. The study appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.

$1 million grant possible

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Brandon Maples stumbled home along sidewalks in the Oread neighborhood after a night downtown, but not because he drank too much.
MEETING INFO
Maples, a resident in the Oread neighborhood, said the streets were poorly lit and the sidewalks were muddy and needed repair.
"It's a real bummer to come home after a night out and to have mud all over your shoes," Maples, Overland Park junior, said.
Margene Swarts, Lawrence community development manager, said grants could be used for neighborhoods when 51 percent of the residents had a low to moderate income, which is defined as an annual income of $49,760 for a family of four in Lawrence.
Maples and other KU students may be seeing improvements to the Oread neighborhood and other low to moderate income neighborhoods after Aug. 1, 2006. The city could receive more than $1 million for community development block grants, which the Oread Neighborhood must present ideas for by Dec. 1.
The grants can be implemented for improvements on neighborhood blocks, Swarts said. Or, the grants can be used for
Oread Neighborhood Association Meeting

♥ Open to the public
individual properties, as long as the improvement benefits the whole block. Last year, the city received $911,227 for community development, which were part of a larger federal grant, Swarts said.
The neighborhood association used $85,000 for curb repairs on Tennessee Street last year and $11,860 for a neighborhood coordinator's salary, operating costs and a neighborhood cleanup, Swarts said. The grant is relatively small compared to the money the city spends to finance other neighborhood projects, she said.
The addition of lighting in alleys or on streets could be considered improvements the grant would cover this year, but property owners have to get estimates from contractors. Swarts said. Then the request would have to be approved by the Community Block Grant Advisory Committee and, finally, the Lawrence City Commission. James Dunn, president of
the Oread Neighborhood Association, said obtaining a grant could be a daunting task, especially for students because they are a transient population in the neighborhood, which borders Arkansas Street, Ninth Street and 17th Street, he said.
Dunn urged students to come to the meetings before the proposals for the grant are made on Dec.1.
The association's board meets monthly to talk about improvements that can be made to the neighborhood and with the public quarterly, he said. The association's board has talked about additional lighting for the neighborhood, improving the noise ordinance, traffic safety and trash on neighborhood properties. Davis said.
"We don't want to make it a blighted student ghetto," he said.
No students have a position on the board, but the neighborhood association would like one, she said.
Maples said if he knew more about the meetings, he might go, but for now he is reluctant.
"I get the impression they might be bureaucratic," Maples said. "They might end up not listening to my ideas and spending it on something stupid."

Buses celebrate with free rides on Thursday
The Lawrence Transit System will offer free rides on its buses Thursday to celebrate the fourth annual Communities in Motion Day, a national celebration of public transportation supported by the American Public Transit Association.
Rachel Cornish, marketing coordinator for the Lawrence Transit System, said the association decided the date in July, choosing early October because of pleasant weather.
The transit system has participated all four years since the celebration's founding.
Cornish said that the local celebration is usually larger, but the transit system would celebrate its fifth-year anniversary in December, so the event was scaled back this year.
Cornish said the buses have eight routes throughout town, including to the University of Kansas, Haskell Indian Nations and Downtown Lawrence.

Hacker tags Senate site
WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 5. 2005
A hacker defaced the Student Senate Web site during the weekend, marking the home page with "online graffiti."
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Riley Dutton, the site manager, is working with KU Information Services to increase security on the site. He said he would comment on the hacking after he met with University officials. The Senate Web site is currently down.
He said someone may have stolen the site's password and used it to make the change.
Nolan Jones, Pittsburg junior and Student Senate communications director, said the message indicated a group of Kurdish hackers accessed the site. He said the hacking didn't affect the site's content, but only added the message.
Allison Rose Lopez, spokeswoman for KU Information Services, said the hacking was a form of online graffiti, and that similar attacks happened every day around the world.
Lopez said Information Services provided servers for the Senate site, but senate managed its own content and applications. Information Services uses employees to monitor applications and security on KU sites it maintains. Other sites are responsible for ensuring their own security.
She said Information Services worked to keep sites updated to avoid this problem and cited education as the most effective tool.
"Every person who uses a computer needs to move past thinking computer security is someone else's job," Lopez said.
Applications such as calendars, mail forms and photo galleries need to be updated routinely to stay secure, she said. Any site needs to be careful about what applications are included, Lopez said.
During the summer, the Web site of KUJH-TV was hacked and shut down for a brief period of time. Last year, servers for Watkins Health Center that contained private student information were also hacked.

DODGE CITY — A western Kansas school bus driver has resigned after leaving a sleeping first-grader on a vehicle.
Bus driver leaves student unattended
The child woke up after the vehicle returned to the Dodge City school district's transportation building and was taken to class.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
Under district policy, Eckelman said the driver would have faced termination, anyway.
The district requires its bus drivers to walk up and down their
buses looking for students at the end of each route. But district spokesman Seth Eckelman said the driver, whose name wasn't released, didn't complete the task after finishing his morning rounds. He resigned the next day
"The guy erred, and he resigned as a result of it," Eckelman said. "That's just policy if you don't check the bus."

HURRICANE KATRINA
New Orleans mayor could lay off as many as 3,000
BY CAIN BURDEAU THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Mayor Ray Nagin said Tuesday the city is laying off as many as 3,000 employees — or about half its workforce — because of the financial damage inflicted on New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina.
He said only non-essential workers will be laid off and that no firefighters or police will be among those let go.
Nagin announced with "great sadness" that he had been unable to find the money to keep the workers on the payroll.
"I wish I didn't have to do this. I wish we had the money, the resources to keep these people," Nagin said. "The problem we have is
we have no revenue streams."
Nagin described the layoffs as "pretty permanent" and said that the city will work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to notify municipal employees who fled the city in the aftermath of Katrina, which struck about a month ago.
The mayor said the move will save about $5 million to $8 million of the city's monthly payroll of $20 million. The layoffs will take place over the next two weeks.
"We talked to local banks and other financial institutions and we are just not able to put together the financing necessary to continue to maintain City Hall's staffing at its current levels," the mayor said.
According to court documents, the shower happening occurred after the team's loss to Texas A&M, April 2, when softball coach Tracy Bunge ordered her players to shower while wearing their uniforms. Bunge claims the shower was meant to, "wash away the bad play." The players were then ordered to strip to their underwear. They were lectured by Bunge for nearly 20 minutes about their play. During the lecture, Bunge made a remark about the underwear worn by then-sophomore pitcher Kassie Humphrey. The team was then sent home by Bunge.
Sues
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The next day, Sewell commented to the entire team, "I hope you girls make better choices of underwear."
According to the report by the Equal Opportunity Office, at least one other witness and Bunge do not remember Bunge making the comment.
Vasquez and two other teammates met with Athletics Director Lew Perkins two weeks later to discuss the shower incident.
Court documents show Perkins said he would resolve the situation over the summer.
During an Aug. 26 meeting with Perkins, Vasquez was notified her scholarship had been revoked, court documents said.
In a report sent to the University's Equal Opportunity Office Aug. 24, Vasquez said she and her teammates were sexually harassed by Bunge and Sewell. Vasquez also alleged four seperate incidents of retaliation by Bunge and Sewell.
The report was reviewed by the Department of Human Resources and Equal Opportunity. The review found that Bunge and Sewell's alleged comments and the shower incident did not constitute sexual harassment, as defined by University policy. The review also concluded there was no indication of retaliation by either Bunge or Sewell.
The lawsuit named Chancelor Robert Hemenway, Perkins, Bunge, Sewell and faculty representative Don Green as defendants.

HEALTH
Children adopt fatty food habits
BY JAMIE STENGLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — As toddlers begin eating "grown-up" food, they may also develop grown-up eating habits — like too much junk food and too few vegetables, warn doctors who want parents to change their ways.
Within the childhood obesity outbreak is an increasing number of overweight 2-year-olds, according to pediatrics experts. In an effort to address the problem, the American Heart Association is offering this advice to parents: Children 2 and older should eat mostly fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat and non-fat dairy products, beans, fish and lean meat.
"These guidelines are not that different from what you as a parent should be following," said Lona Sandon, a dietitian and assistant professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "Kids will follow the example of their parents if the example is there."
"We've gotten away from preparing foods at home." Sandon said. "We are eating foods that are much higher in fat and calories and larger portion sizes. We've gotten away from physical activity."
The new recommendations for infants, children and adolescents
revise the heart association's 1982 statement. Since then, more and more children have been falling into the overweight or obese category. The updated guidelines, which are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, also recommend children 2 and older get an hour of exercise a day.
Dr. Barbara Dennison, who helped draw up the guidelines and is associate professor of clinical pediatrics at Columbia University, said that 10 percent of 2-year-olds are overweight, doubling the rate from the mid-1970s.
"The whole idea of a nutritionally balanced diet has been compromised," said Dr. Samuel S. Gidding, another adviser on the AHA recommendations and professor of pediatric cardiology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. "I think that fast foods have become — rather than being discretionary choices — the main stop for meals."
He said that 30 to 50 years ago, foods that were nutritional were considered "kids' foods." Now, he said, kids' foods are viewed as sweets, snacks or so-called comfort foods.
The heart association notes that by the time kids are 19 to 24 months, french fries are the most commonly eaten vegetable. Experts say that as jars of baby food packed with fruits and vegetables give way to solid foods, nutritious food is often bypassed for whatever ever is easiest.

Benigni's latest film tackles Iraq war
ROME — Like the Oscar-winning "Life Is Beautiful," Roberto Benigni's new film, "La Tireg la la Neve (The Tiger and the Snow)" , is a comedy set against a tragic backdrop — the war in Iraq.

What should we do today, Spot? Nobody cares.Noid.
"We have not had any disagreements about clothes, smoking or L'Wren, and this is all very hurtful for her," the 62-year-old rocker said in a statement Tuesday.
He issued the statement after British newspaper reports suggested Scott had angered band members by giving fashion tips and urging them to stop smoking.

Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2005: Your emotional and financial generosity draw many people. You can be hard on others this year, but also on yourself. Re-evaluate expectations, friendships and goals. Perhaps what you want is no longer reflective of who you are. You have a natural talent that could help you make money, if you don't go hogwild with spending. The tendency to go to extremes marks your year. A child or loved one might be pulling the wool over your eyes, and you might not care. If you are single, a relationship takes on a magical quality, though at times there might be glimmers of reality. If you are attached, you adore your sweetie and always see him or her in the best possible light. Work with SCORPIO to make money.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
A partner or associate needs to discuss what is on his or her mind, even if you would rather not. A conversation could be quite healing, as long as you both are clear about what is said. An element of confusion runs through the day. Tonight: A one-on-one talk.
★★★ How you approach others could allow even more good feelings to evolve. In fact, much that is said and done right now could be very healing. A boss could be confusing, as usual. Avoid difficult situations if possible. Tonight: Happy at home.
★★★ You have determination on your side. Sometimes even you can be hardheaded. Know when to let others rule the roost and make the decisions. Curb a tendency to overindulge, especially if frustrated. Tonight: Listen to great music.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
**** Your imagination could take you down an unusual path, introduce you to a new friend or energize your relationship. Don't take a financial risk. What occurs can only backfire. Avoid money matters. Tonight: Playful doesn't need to cost.
★★★ You could cause yourself problems by being negative. You have many serious issues on your mind, but don't allow these situations to flow into other areas of your life. Confusion
surrounds relationships. You can be sure that you are not seeing the whole person. Tonight: Mosey on home.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
***** Speak your mind, and others might react strongly. You could feel a bit down. Your imagination and your need to pitch in come out. Though these gifts bring satisfaction, you need to be aware of your own needs. Tonight: Share your caring.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ Your finances can take a pleasant turn with effort and discipline. You could feel like you have to give up something that is very important to you. Brainstorm with a creative pal and see other paths to the same end. Tonight: Gather bills. Is your budget holding together?
***** You might feel tension left and right. You also can, and might, choose to ignore what is going on. You might be carrying too many responsibilities. Think of ways to lighten your burden. Tonight: Talk to someone about ways to make your life easier.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★ You can be sure that you are
not getting the whole story. In fact, someone might be intentionally holding back. Your sixth sense kicks in. It is important to not be reactive and to look at others with understanding. Tonight: The less said the better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ Others are disposed to give you what you want and need. If you are in touch with your feelings about financial and security needs, you can negotiate. Otherwise, an associate could rain on your parade. Don't let him. Tonight: Where the gang is.
AQUARIUS (Jan, 20-Feb, 18)
AUDIANCIS (Jan. 24-Feb. 10)
* You might not be present with the moment. This might not bother you, but it could cause others to be frustrated. Tune in to a boss or higher-up who can impact you, for your sake. Your imagination finds waves of handling a problem. Tonight: Out late.
★★★ Try to get out of yourself even if you are tired and run ragged. Know when to say that you've had enough and cut the day short. You might need to take some time off. Consider what you would do with a day off. Tonight: Relax to a movie.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
OPINION
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5.2005
WWW.KANSAN.COM
▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
PAGE 7A
Pay attention to these smoke signals
There has been a lot of dialogue in Lawrence concerning a proposed city ordinance that would move some marijuana cases from district courts to municipal courts.
The proponents of the ordinance have cited two reasons as to why they wish to make this change.
One reason was to thwart the Higher Education Act, passed in 1998. The second was to make possession of marijuana a lower priority for law enforcement, the city claiming that this would save time and money.
A
I think that there are some serious flaws in this ordinance, and neither the Lawrence Journal-World nor The University Daily Kansan have been responsible in making sure that both sides of this issue are seen.
I, for one, have a personal interest in this matter. Almost two years ago, five days after Christmas, my sister and I received the shock of our lives.
While staving at our aunt's
LINDSAY SHELTON opinion@kansan.com
house, we were told that my father had been taken to the hospital and that they didn't know any more information.
Almost five hours later, when my mother and uncle pulled up, I knew that something terrible had happened.
My mother gave us a hug and then dropped a bombshell: my father had accidentally overdosed on a combination of morphine and OxyContin. He was found in his parked car outside of work.
The odd thing was, this was the first time my sister or I had ever heard of my father using any sort of drugs. I found out that during high school, my father started smoking marijuana on a regular basis. When he was
older, he went to a psychiatrist for the first time and he was prescribed Xanax, an antidepressant meant to alleviate the most serious symptoms of depression.
It is only meant to be taken to get you out of the worst of it. He took it for 20 years.
Because of this combination of supposedly harmless drugs, my father didn't even think he had a problem.
After all, the Xanax was by prescription, and it was just a little pot. My mother was aware of the Xanax and what she thought was his past history with pot and was troubled by it, but he kept most of his activities a secret.
She tried to help him work through his issues for our sake, while trying to protect my sister and from the harsher realities of his depression. But the marijuana and the Xanax led to other drugs such as the morphine and OxxContin.
I am willing to argue until I'm
blue in the face that for some people, marijuana is a gateway drug.
I certainly know that it was for my father. No, marijuana won't kill you. But to continue numbing his pain from his childhood, my father wanted more.
My father was lucky in a way. He survived his overdose and his parents paid for him to go through a good rehabilitation program. But he lost his entire family that day. My parents' divorce was finalized last year, and I haven't spoken to him directly in almost a year and a half.
Because of my father's overdose, our family's financial situation changed dramatically from when we first applied for financial aid. I was almost unable to attend college.
We submitted a Financial Aid Status Reevaluation while I was a senior in high school, praying for the financial aid and loans that I needed.
When we heard back from the office,we were told that
while I did qualify for the aid that I needed, there just wasn't any available at that time.
My options were quickly being whittled down and I was becoming desperate. Luckily, some more aid came through a little while later, and I am now able to get the education that I crave.
The Higher Education Act does bar students caught with marijuana from receiving financial aid. Many people, however, aren't pointing out that this is only for one year. After the second offense, it is two years, and only for the third time is it an indefinite amount of.
When I had a family emergency that involved marijuana abuse, there wasn't enough aid to help me. Why should we allow students who break the law to get preference over the students who don't?
Let the students who get caught with marijuana spend a year going to a junior college and working to save up money.
Quite honestly, I think they need to grow up a little before going off to college.
People will never learn a lesson if they are bailed out from the mess they have made. If they have truly learned from their mistake, then they won't allow themselves to be in a situation where they could be charged with possession, and they will be able to receive aid after one year.
It is a commonly held belief that pot is a harmless activity, not unlike drinking.
I know from very personal experience that this is simply not always true.
I feel its irresponsible for the city of Lawrence to eliminate consequences for getting caught possessing marijuana because this will ultimately marginalize the seriousness of the act even more so than it already does.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Whoever's job is it to edit the Free for All needs to jump off a cliff. It are not funny.
Start building the future
Tim Hall's article, "Change in Tradition not Always Negative" demonstrates a common paradox in America between technology and architecture, between tradition and the future.
At one point in his article, Hall praises the fact that the Booth Family Hall of Athletics will "look like it has been there for 50 years," while complaining in another paragraph about not having instant replay.
We demand new technology in all aspects of our life, but are afraid to pursue new possibilities of building technology and materials.
Hall, like many of the alumni, faculty and student population, accepts the luxuries of a new scoreboard and the ability to watch a game on TV while he is standing in the historic Allen Fieldhouse, but would rather see an addition, on the exterior, built with the safe and comfortable technology of 1955.
The University spends millions of dollars improving its own image through the KU Marketing Plan and other strategic initiatives.
The Marketing Plan's goal is to "enhance the image, reputation and visibility of the University of Kansas in the eyes of key constituents." After years of re
search, the only visible changes are a change to a more elegant font and a dedication to "KU Blue." The inspiration for the Marketing Plan's policy could have come from a speech made by Chancellor Gene A. Budig, at the dedication of Anschutz Science Library, on Oct. 7.1989.
The paradox I am talking about is that while we are buying iPods
While he states, "this library represents our commitment to the future," he is standing in front of a building that represents the past.
Right now, our University can boast one of the top public architecture schools in the nation, but recent construction projects, such as the Booth Family Hall, Eaton Hall, the KU Visitor's Sign and the Hall Center for the Humanities, suggest that we only know how to build bastardized versions of landmark precedents. Our buildings can be ambassadors of the University.
Eaton Hall could have been a display of the Engineering School's commitment to state-of-the-art engineering technology and research.
that can hold 10,000 songs, cell phones with Bluetooth technology that have the ability to check e-mail and scoreboards that provide instant replay and a variety of other slick graphics, we are building structures that look and act like buildings that were built 50 years ago or more.
If you can accept the iPod instead of a Walkman, a Razor instead of a clunky cell phone from even five years ago and instant replay instead of three colors and dancing nachos, how come we can't accept a building that will say something about the age we are living in now and suggest the potential of where we could go in the future?
A potential new engineering student only sees something that has already been done, a dedication to the past and an acceptance of mediocrity.
A common criticism of Europeans is that the United States has no history or culture. Maybe we have become self-conscious and are trying to build backward in time to establish some sort of history and culture to prove them wrong. But we have always been involved with making history. That is our foundation.
We are the culture of the future and should be setting the precedent for the building culture and the buildings of the future.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
How to find the goods
When I read "How to lose a guy in 10 seconds," I was shocked and amazed. The fact that girls are using bad one-liners to get rid of a guy does not surprise me in the least bit, but what did surprise me is that good girls are looking for good guys in bars. Maybe nice guys finish last because the girls are looking in the wrong place. Here's a tip from a genuinely good guy: If you want a guy with a little more substance, look in a place with a little more substance. A bar is great if you want to get drunk and hook up with some random person, but I don't know too many people who find their soul mates there.
The first place I would look for a good guy is the First Friday art scene in Kansas City. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, all of the art galleries in the Crossroadss district of Kansas City, Mo., open up or, the first Friday of the month. There is music, food, art and a ton of people. You might even find people you know down there. Art galleries are great scenes to strike up conversations. If art is involved there is always something to talk about. The music is usually in the open air, so unlike most concerts, talking is actually possible.
If art isn't your thing, or you just want to do some dancing, check out the KU Swing Society. If you don't know how to dance, they offer free lessons. Guys, this is a good skill to have. I have seen many girls fall for a guy who can swing. The KU Swing Society meets up every Tuesday from 9 p.m. to midnight.
If you are weighed down with schoolwork and you can't find the time to go out, a good guy can be as close as that 8:30 lecture. That's where I found a good girl. Though it's early in the morning and you
probably don't look your best, the good guys aren't going to care. If you're in a big lecture, ask that cute someone for the notes that you "missed" last week. Say that you don't have time right now but you would love to meet up for coffee or something later. Guys really like when they can explain something to that cool girl.
Girls, when looking for a good guy, you may have to put forth more effort than you do at the bars. Good guys are commonly shy, and they won't always have that liquid courage in them. If you are looking for Brad Pitt, look somewhere Brad might hang out; the environment usually reflects the guy. If the only thing around you is booze and drunken people, then Brad probably isn't there.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2005
SELF-EXPLANATORY Letter from the editor
Against public opinion and good taste, Tongue in Beak is indeed back for a second helping. Yes, get ready to ignore a second issue of even more jokes about campus shenanigans and athletes who could beat us up. The real editorial staff of the The University Daily Kansan has (very strongly) suggested that we put another disclaimer on this issue stating — once again — that the writers and editors of Tongue in Beak are in no way actually affiliated with the writers and editors of the Kansan. The opinions and ideas on this page are our own. So say, if we would want to tell oh, I don't know, Jeff Hickens to GO TO HELL!!! and BURN TO DEATH JEFF HICKENS!!!! and Jeff Wadm at us then he should send his email to tinb@ kansan.com (not that Jeff Hickens has the mental capacity to do much of anything besides screw my ex-girlfriend). Also if we were to offend anybody — let's just say oh, maybe an ex-girlfriend or something, let's just call her Lauren Casoday by saying LAUREN CASO-DAY IS A WHORE AND BADE BREATH then this Lauren Casody, whoever she may be, would send her nasty, skanky, full of open sores e-mail to tinb@ kansan.com. It should also be noted that we recently changed the password of the Tongue in Beak email address, so don't try logging in to it even if, say, you used to know the old password because you dated the editor. Well my time is up. I'm off to go visit my new girlfriend. You hear that Lauren? I've moved on. I'm totally over you and totally into my NEW GIRLFRIEND! One that knows how to floss correctly and does so.
Sincerely,
Oven Morris

IS COMPETITIVE EATING A SPORT?
Mangino prepares game plan for Chinese buffet
KANSAS
BY ERIC SCHAUMBURG
tinb@kansan.com
TONGUE OR KANSAN WRITER
Kansas football coach and Chinese buffet connoisseur Mark Mangino prepared a game plan for attacking the all-new Friday Buffet at the popular local Chinese eatery with his assistant coaches.
"All right, we have scouted the place and it appears they are running a new 3-4 chicken-beef layout," Mangino said while going through notebooks outside the restaurant. "We should exploit it from the left because I'm almost positive that is where they'll place the fried rice. I don't want to be surprised and go in and find the white rice on the opposite end of the fried rice. It'll totally throw off the entire meal."
With hours of studying menus and sampling dishes hanging over their belts, Mangino and staff seemed confident as they waddled into the buffet but the feeling was not to last.
While everything appeared to be going the team's way at first, including a fresh steaming tray of egg rolls and free drink refills, the meal took a turn for the worse when the seafood surprise was declared "off." As the meal progressed, Mangino's game plan seemed to fall into more and more disarray.
"Dammit! We're being blocked up front by kids at the yogurt machine," Mangino yelled to his staff. "We've got to bring coverage coach Johnson from the side or that crab Rangoon is as good as gone."
Mangino also seemed upset
by the level of sweetness in the sweet and sour chicken.
Overall, the meal ended on a sour note when the restaurant ran out of food at 8:30 p.m. and had to close. In the parking lot after the meal, Mangino said that he was disappointed at what he called the "timidity to attack."
"If we want to go in there and actually win, and you know, get our seven dollars worth of greasy Americanized Chinese food, then we can't be afraid to rush the front line," Mangino said as he grabbed a handful of complimentary mints, the only food left in the restaurant.
Mangino said he was already looking forward and preparing for next week's buffet, a Sizzler Steakhouse in Manhattan.

English professor to hold class in unemployment line
Members of English professor Lyle Shaw's "Marxist Criticism in Post Feminist Authors" class, a course for English majors only, were surprised to learn Tuesday that they will no longer meet in room 210 of Fraser Hall, but instead in the Douglas County Unemployment Offices at 19th and Vermont streets.

graduation, to start networking and learning how to receive their unemployment check. Secondly my critique of Sylvia Plath did not get into a single literary journal and since Dillions is only hiring part-time I though it would be pretty convenient to save myself some time by meeting here."
Shaw has also changed the syllabus to reflect the new classroom environment.
"I've decided that if you do not want to do that paper I assigned on objectivism as it relates to Marxist theory that you can instead now write 3,000 words on the effects of having an English professor move into your apartment for a couple of months, you know just until he finds his own place"

KU reveals new Mrs. E's 'identity'
Robert Hemengway announced Monday that the University has redesigned the font of Mrs. E's, the popular cafeteria for students who live on Daisy Hill.
"I'm glad to announce that today we are finally sending a clear concise message about what Mrs.Es finally is, and we did it without improving the food or service one ounce." Hemenway said while standing below the new sign.
The University spent $750,000 and eight years working with an

Not everyone is
happy with it and many students believe the University got ripped off.
"There are some naysayers who say this is just the comic sans font in a purple color. Obviously they are too narrow-minded to appreciate the intricate detail of the design. Just look at the placement of that apostrophe. How it's sort of closer to the 'E' than the 's.' You can't buy brilliance like this...sort of. We hired an advertising firm that spent months researching native fonts in the Bahamas and Jamica and we feel their hardwork paid off in the end with a font that everyone can feel proud of," Hemenway said.

▼ ADVICE FROM KELLI THE SORORITY SISTER
Kelli shows France some hospitality
A.
Editors Note: Because of an accident at a costume party involving a urinal, Rick is taking this month off. In his place is Kelli. She is a member of the Chi Delta Phi sorority, works at Cold Stone Creamery and has a large collection of stuffed animals. She was also a pledge mom until her pledges quit.
Dear Kelli,
Cindy
I recently studied abroad and had sexual interactions with a number of Europe's finer men. That was great, but the problem is I posted detailed descriptions, and sometimes pictures, of my exploits on my Xanga, which I forgot my boyfriend reads. Now that I'm back in Lawrence, he wants me to get tested. Is he right or just being over-cautious?
Dear Cindy,
Way to go enjoying the European hotties! Did you go to France? Did you by chance, have sex in France with a guy named Marcus who was actually from Chicago, but also studying abroad? If you did, get tested now!!! If you didn't have sex with Marcus, then you're probably all right (and let me just say on the side - you didn't miss much). As a precaution, I might use a little hand sanitizer. Oooohhh, I almost forgot I read last month in Cosmo or in O that chocolate can be good for your immune system. So, if you want to be extra safe, just eat a lot of chocolate and it will probably make whatever you may have go away. Kisses.
Dear Kelli.
Dear Ken!
There's this really cute guy in my biology lab and I would like to ask him on a date, but I don't want to come across as easy or too forward. What should I do?
— Maxine
B. 0.435
Oh, Maxine, do I feel for you. For the longest time when I was only like 17 I had this crush on my mom's third or fourth(?) husband. I knew he would never approach me, so one night after妈 had taken her pills with her three glasses of gin (doctor's orders), I surprised him by sneaking into his study naked. Well to make a long story short we carried on an affair for two years before I got bored and told him I'd tell the authorities if he didn't buy me a new Grand Cherokee. My mom has a new husband but I still have the Jeep! Oooohhhh! I almost forgot. I was reading Details on the ellipsis at the gym when I came across this article that said chocolate contained pheromones that naturally attracted people. So, maybe if you eat a lot of chocolate he'll end up approaching you. Kisses.
Dear Kelli,
I used to be in a sorority, but I quit because my pledge mom — let's call her Kelsy — was the biggest bitch I'd ever met in my life. Not only was she the most inconsiderate person I've ever known, all she would talk about were these guys she had slept with or these stupid little quizzes or facts she read in magazines. She would cite some little fact she had read that said she could eat chocolate constantly and then she'd always wonder why she was putting on weight. The problem is that now that I quit none of my Greek friends will talk to me. I've been thinking about rejoining, so please give me some innate terrible advice that will help me come to my senses and make me realize how much I hated being in a sorority.
Sophia
Dear Sophia.
Sounds like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Oooohhh! I recently read in Seventeen that chocolate can act as a anti-depressant so if I were you, I'd grab a big bowl of chocolate to help you cheer up. As for rejoining a sorority, of course you have to. I remember last year at our Asian invasion party, when our Oriental sister made us all fortune cookies. Guess what mine said? "Go Greek or go geck." Isn't that poetic, yet so true? You too could have memories like that if you rejoin. Kisses.

Rising up to challenge rivals
S
Kansas fans celebrate in the south end zone after the victory against Kansas State last season. Then a junior, linebacker Nick Reid enjoyed the celebration on the field, too. "That was a blast. I didn't want to come into the locker room. I wanted to stay out there all night and celebrate with the fans," he said. The Jayhawks will try to defeat the Wildcats for a second consecutive season at 11 a.m. Saturday in Manhattan.

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The Kansas-Kansas State rivalry has produced the same result for more than a decade. But the Sunflower Showdown gained back some of its intensity when the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats at home last season for the first time in 11 years. That victory was Kansas' first against Kansas State since a 31-7 victory against the Wildcats in 1992 at Memorial Stadium.
Mangino said that because Kansas was more competitive now, the rivalry meant more.
"The program was in such disarray when we first got here that we couldn't even think about pointing out a game as a must-win game," Mangino said. "We weren't in a position to do that. At that time, we were just trying to win non-conference games and play hard in the conference season. That's all changed now. We feel like every time we line up, we have a chance to win, no matter who we're playing."
Last year's KU victory put an end to the 11-game winning streak, but one more streak is still alive for
Kansas State: Kansas has not won in Manhattan since 1989, when it came away with a 21-16 victory.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said last year's victory was a big one for his team, but this was a new season with new players.
"I don't think they're worrying too much about last year's game anymore." Mangino said. "They're more focused on this game now."
Both Kansas and Kansas State enter the game with conference records of 0-1. Both teams lost on the road last weekend to Big 12 South teams — Kansas to Texas Tech, and Kansas State to Oklahoma.
Adding to this year's rivalry is the fact that the game will be televised for the first time in seven years. The last time the game was televised was 1998, when Kansas State defeated Kansas in Lawrence 54-6.
Reid said that the Kansas State game was important to the players, and winning a conference game on the road against one of the team's main rivals would be a big confidence booster for the team.
Senior linebacker Nick Reid was a freshman when Kansas State came to Lawrence and defeated the Jayhawks 64-0. Reid said the team has changed since the 2002 game.
"The coaches have done a great job recruiting talent," Reid said. "We have gotten a lot better since then."
That emotion is good, and we can feed on it. We can really use that to our advantage."
"It is just another game," Reid said. "But it is hard to downplay such a big rivalry.

'Hawks hope to turn tables
11 years since last victory
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The last time the Jayhawks recorded a victory against the Wildcats, players on both teams' current rosters were in elementary school.
The Jayhawks take on the 20th-ranked Wildcats at 7 p.m. at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center in search of their first victory against the Wildcats since 1994.
Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum said her team was ready to end the 20-match losing streak and start a winning streak of its own.
The Wildcats are 12-3 overall this season and 3-2 in the Big 12. They stopped a two-match losing streak on Saturday by defeating No. 23 Texas A&M.
"Everyone is really excited about the match," she said. "We're really hungry for a win against them."
Kansas State is led by coach Suzie Fritz, who guided the Wildcats to a 91-33 record and one Big 12 title during her last four years in Manhattan. She served as an assistant for four years before taking the head position.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard knows that Kansas State will be a tough test for his squad again this year.
"They're a low-error team that doesn't make a lot of mistakes," he said. "They're good defensively, and they don't beat themselves."
Beachard said the Wildcats have a few players whom they routinely go to in key situations. Senior outside hitter Agata Rezende leads K-State with 4.12 kills per game. Junior outside hitter Sandy Werner is second with a 3.57 average.
Junior middle blocker Joy Hamlin is a presence at the net. She is among the Big 12 leaders in blocks with 1.48 per game and carries a .369 attack percentage.
Bechard said the Jayhawks would have to play a near-flawless match to defeat the
Wildcats and improve on their 4-2 Big 12 record. He also said that the extra momentum gained in Kansas' victory against Colorado last Saturday could be helpful.
Emotion will be another important factor. The Jayhawks will have the advantage of playing in front of a large home crowd.
Bechard said the rivalry in the Kansas State match was always a little more intense.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't different," he said. "I think it means different things to different kids. Our in-state players have some familiarity with their players. Because of our proximity, there's obviously some added local interest."
Rozum said the team would have to suppress the emotion and stay in control to topple the Wildcats.
"We'll have to play our game," she said. "We can only worry about our side and not make too many unforced errors."

Tech fans lack class during victory
It's funny when you go on a road trip to cover one of these games, especially when it's at a conference rival. The more places you go, you still are amazed sometimes.
Traveling to Lubbock, Texas, to find my answers to the question of what kind of football team we will have at Kansas this year, I must admit I was taken by my Southwestern surroundings. It sure did show just how much land this conference encompasses.
Talking to some of the people around Jones SBC Stadium, the experience of game day in Lubbock was summed up by one local fan. "If you stand on the hood of your car and squint, you can see Dallas."
That was Lubbock. A town that sits alone out on the South Plains. From the press box all you could see were fields and grain elevators.
As for the evening in Lubbock, I was taken by the classlessness of the Tech student section. I have been to Lubbock enough in my life — I don't know if I should be admitting that — to know that the behavior of the student section at Tech in no way is a direct representation of the people of western Texas.
But there were several moments that disturbed not just me, but even a photographer with the Texas Tech school newspaper.
In the second quarter, Jayhawks tight end Derek Fine injured his knee on a pass that sailed too high. Lying on the ground in incredible pain, even the cheerleaders for a few seconds smiled and seemed to take joy in the injury. Following that display, the student section was cheering. In fact, one student yelled for Fine to be shot in the head.
The Tech photographer turned to me and said she hoped her school would lose. She was disgusted, and it wasn't the first time.

Cornish gives offense spark
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITER
Junior running back Jon Cornish has been a surprise for the
Jayhawk offense this season. His role on the team's special teams unit, however, continues to limit his action at running back.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has said that he would not take Cornish off the special teams unit, despite his success running the football.

I won't say he has exceeded my expectations; he hasn't done that, but he is certainly moving in the right directions to meet those expectations."

as a talented running back. Now Mangino has to decide where to use Cornish.
"I love playing special teams, but I am just going to try to do whatever benefits the team most," Cornish said. "If that is me carrying the ball then I am going to have to take fewer reps on special teams."
Cornish previously saw little time at running back — in the past two seasons, he had a combined three carries for 8 yards — but Mangino has been pleased with his progress this season.
"I won't say he has exceeded my expectations; he hasn't done that, but he is certainly moving in the right directions to meet those expectations," Mangino said. "He only is going to do more for us as the season goes along. He is a talented young gun, and the light has come on."
Cornish was the team's most productive offensive player during Kansas' 30-17 loss to Texas Tech in Lubbock on Saturday. Cornish racked up 111 yards on 17 carries, good for 6.5 yards per rush.
After beginning the season as the No.2 running back behind senior Clark Green, Cornish is now making a charge at becoming the starting back.
His numbers through four games are better than Green's. Cornish leads the team in rushing with 290 yards, 63 yards more than Green. Cornish also has Green beat in touchdowns, with six compared to one.

Jayhawks up to par
Senior Pryor wins Battle at the Lake
BY MARK DENT
mdent@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Senior golfer Chelsey Pryor won the individual title Tuesday at the Oral Roberts Battle at the Lake in Tulsa, Okla. The Jayhawks finished second as a team.
Pryor shot two rounds of 74 on Monday and shot 78 in the final round to finish with a three-round total of 226. She led throughout the entire tournament.
"We wanted to win this tournament," Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said. "However, I think we learned a lot from this that we can use throughout the season. I am very proud of Chelsey. It is tough to go into the last day and hold on to the lead, and she was able to do that."
Junior Amanda Costner backed up her strong third-place individual performance at the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic in Fort Collins, Colo., with a seventh place individual finish in Oklahoma. Costner shot an opening round 80, but recovered by shooting consecutive rounds of 75 to finish with a 230 three-round total.
Sophomore Annie Giangrosso was behind Costner in the standings. Giangrosso posted identical first- and second-round scores to Costner, but shot a 76 in the final round to finish ninth individually.
Junior Jill Womble finished 18th, and senior Meredith Winkelmann finished 52nd. Kansas finished with a team score of 919.
Rounding out the top five were University of Texas-El Paso, Arkansas-Little Rock, and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
In the second round, the Jayhawks shot a team score of a 298, which was the lowest one-
round score for any team in the tournament. It was not enough to hold off Oral Roberts, which took home the championship at its own tournament.
Kansas was down by only one stroke heading into the third round. Oral Roberts held on by outshooting the Jayhawks by the count of 304 to 309.
Christy Carter led Oral Roberts and finished second individually.
Vividly.
Other top individuals included University of Texas-El Paso's Gerina Mendoza, Texas Pan-American's Stefanie Maynard and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi's Mary Betancourt, who all tied for third.
Although the Jayhawks did not come home with the title, O'Neil said she was pleased overall with the performance and strategy on the golf course.
Kansas will try to repeat its successful strategy Oct. 10 and 11 at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational in Manhattan.

All-Stars advance in football playoffs
The All-Stars moved on to the next round of the men's intramural flag football playoffs after a 13-7 victory against Team Brian Gaul on Monday.
Both teams had slow offensive starts and could not convert their drives into points.
Team Brian Gaul answered with a quick touchdown when Brian Gaul, Troy senior, threw the ball to Josh Engemann, Troy junior. Gaul connected with Engemann again for the extra point.
The All-Stars were the first to score when Landon Lukens, Medicine Lodge sophomore, ran the ball in for a touchdown. This was followed by an extra point when Lukens' pass was caught by Brandon Wise, Hutchison junior.
The momentum stuck with Team Brian Gaul on its next defensive series. On the All-Stars' next possession, Dustin Brake,
Salina senior, intercepted an All-Stars' pass.
But the offensive struggles continued. Team Brian Gaul was not able to score before halftime. Lukens credited his team's defensive effort for holding Team Brian Gaul before the half.
The second half produced the same offensive struggles as the first half.
Halfway through the second half, Gaul had a pass intercepted by Lukens, but the All-Stars quickly turned the ball over on downs.
On Team Brian Gaul's next drive, Gaul's pass was knocked into the arms of the All-Stars' Jimmy Shelite, Medicine Lodge junior. Shelite returned the pass for a touchdown to seal the game.
"Fortune favors the bold," Shelite said during the All-Stars' victory celebration.
Time ran out before Team Brian Gaul could score on its next drive.

'The Great One' drops puck on coaching career
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Marcio Jose Sanchez/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Phoenix Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky watches the game against the San Jose Sharks as Brett Hull, right, prepares to enter in the second period Friday in San Jose, Calif. For 21 days, he has been "Coach Gretzky." The greatest player to don skates was lured to the job by a love of the game.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Wayne Gretzky was lured to coaching by the most basic reason: a love of the game.
Hockey's greatest player knows his Phoenix Coyotes are not blessed with his skills. But, on the eve of his regular-season debut as an NHL coach, he insists he has the patience and drive to build a winner.
"When you're playing, there's nothing like it," Gretzky said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. "You know you can go out there and affect the outcome of the game each and every night. Now the effect I can have on the game is very different, but the passion I have to help this team win is still the same I had as a player."
All 30 NHL teams will play Wednesday night, marking a return of a sport that lay dormant during a year of labor strife. The Coyotes play at Vancouver, a fitting location for Gretzky's debut, because in Canada his fame is virtually without limits.
Phoenix captain Shane Doan grew up in Alberta during Gretzky's great years with Edmonton.
"In America, nobody has any idea what Wayne is," Doan said. "If you took Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Derek Jeter, Brett Favre and kind of put them all into one, that type of following would almost be the same as what Wayne has in Canada."
Brett Hull, who at 41 is the NHL's No. 3 career scorer behind Gretzky and Gordie Howe, signed with Phoenix because he knew Gretzky was going to be the coach.
"There's no one more competitive," Hull said. "He's the ultimate champion and competitor. He's going to have to really fight that when things don't go as great as he wants them to. I think it's going to help us players to have that. He's not going to settle for people going through the motions or not executing."
Coyotes general manager Mike Barnett is Gretzky's former agent and has known him for 25 years. When Gretzky was still playing, Barnett said, the two were in Indianapolis for a
charity appearance and attended a Pacers game where Larry Bird was coaching.
On the plane ride out of town, Gretzky spoke of how he admired Bird's style.
"He said. `You know I really like the way Larry Bird's team plays and I like the way he's coaching that team. It's playing the game the way he played it.'" Barnett recalled. "He said, 'That might be something when I retire I would consider doing.'"
Gretzky became a part-owner of the Coyotes, and Barnett reminded him of that conversation when talk turned to finding a new coach following the 2003-04 season. The NHL lockout ensued and months went by before Gretzky told Barnett he would take the job.
"From that day on, I haven't seen him as recharged and excited since he retired," Barnett said.
Gretzky said he simply missed the game.
"I think that everybody has to have a purpose in life," he said. "My enjoyment of so-called working was to be around hockey. The closest thing to being a player is to be able to coach. It has been as enjoyable as I thought it would be. It's an experience that I've relished."
"We've got a lot of work to do and there's a lot of tough days ahead, but everybody's on the same page."
"I think every individual athlete is unique, whether it be Larry Bird, John McEnroe or Wayne Gretzky," he said. "There's something unique about each part of their athleticism. I understood the basics of the team concept, how much you have to respect your opposition and how much you have to respect and rely on your teammates. That's what I'm trying to teach my players."
He knows that he can't expect players to perform at the level he set for himself.
He wants an up-tempo, aggressive style on offense with discipline on defense.
"No matter how exciting your team is, no matter how much fun it is to watch or how many goals you score, if you can't keep the puck out of your goal and your team is not disciplined defensively, then you're not successful." Gretzky said.
"I came from one of the most powerful offensive hockey teams maybe ever, and yet when it came playoff time, we knew we were going to have to win a 2-1 game and we were responsible for it."
Gretzky said he played for all kinds of coaches, ones who shouted and others who were "more mellow and quieter."
"As a player, the one thing you wanted was to be treated like a man," he said. "If you're treated like a man, you react like a man. That's what I told my players. I'm not a guy who has a lot of rules. My rules are pretty simple and basic, something we can all live with."
"But I expect everyone to be on time and show up and prepare and work hard every day."
Barnett said the only time he saw Gretzky get upset with teammates was when he thought they weren't trying.
"Our players, if the effort isn't there, will see a much different side to Wayne Gretzky than the gentleman the public knows," Barnett said. "He'll have no problem doing that."
As a kid, Gretzky skated around bleach bottles filled with ice on the rink his dad built in the backyard. There he nurtured the passion for the sport he later dominated with style and grace, and he wants young players to realize that.
"All in all, it should be the best time of their lives to show up at this rink," he said. "I want them to enjoy it, but I want them to understand that the harder they work and the more they win, the more they're going to enjoy it."

Detroit gets new manager
BY LARRY LAGE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Jim Leyland's baseball career has come full circle.
The Detroit Tigers hired Leyland on Tuesday as their manager to replace Alan Trammell, fired a day earlier after three seasons.
The 60-year-old Leyland started his baseball career as a catcher in the low minors for the Tigers. He guided the Florida Marlins to the 1997 World Series championship, but has not managed since 1999 with Colorado.
"That passion that Jim Leyland has had throughout his career is back within him to manage." Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "The decision to name one of the top managers in the game of baseball in recent time, to bring him back to this organization, is a very big day for our franchise."
In an interview with The Associated Press earlier Tuesday, Trammell said he thought Leyland was a good choice to replace him.
"He has ties with the Tigers. He was there when I signed," Trammell said. "Whether I'm there or not, I'll always be a Tiger, and I'll always root for the Tigers, because I'm a part of their history, and I'm proud of that."
As a three-sport prep star in Perrysburg, Ohio, Leyland grew up in the middle of Detroit-Cleveland territory. His first 18 years in professional baseball were in the Tigers' farm system — six as a player, one as a coach and 11 as a manager.
"I was a Tigers fan growing up because I was a little closer, 90 miles west of Cleveland and 50 or 60 south of Detroit." Leyland said in 1997.
He was beaten out for Philadelphia's managerial job by Charlie Manuel last winter. He has said he wanted to manage again close to his Pittsburgh home.

Padres battle to the end Despite eight hits in last two innings Cardinals defeat Padres in game one
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals looked every bit like the best team in baseball— even with a shaky ending.
San Diego played as poorly as its record suggests for most of the day. And now, with ace pitcher Jake Peavy out for the postseason with a broken rib, the Padres might be overmatched.
Sanders hit a grand slam and set an NL division series record with six RBIs, Carpenter pitched six scoreless innings before being pulled as a precaution and the Cardinals built a big lead and held off the Padres 8-5 Tuesday in Game 1.
"It's huge," Sanders said. "Let alone getting one RBI in a week, you get six in one day and especially under postseason pressure. It's a great day.
"But it's not over, we've got a long way to go."
Facing a team that won the West despite an 82-80 record, the Cardinals — who led the majors with 100 wins — opened an 8-0 cushion in the fifth inning against Peavy. He pitched with an injury that worsened in the third and was taken to a hospital after lasting only 4 1-3 innings. An MRI showed one broken rib on his right side and the possibility of a second break.
Even without Peavy, the Padres weren't done. They scored once in the seventh, added another run in the eighth and then got right back into it in the ninth. San Diego scored three times and loaded the bases with two outs before closer Jason Isringhausen struck out Ramon Hernandez.
"We're playing a tough team," Sanders said. "As you can see, they fought to the last out."
Against Peavy, Sanders had both of the key hits. His two-run single off the glove of diving first baseman Mark Sweeney put the Cardinals ahead 4-0 in the third, and his grand slam into the left-field seats on a 3-0 fastball chased Peavy in the fifth.
The Padres saw the dominant Carpenter again. He allowed only three singles while benefiting from three double plays from the team that led the majors.
"Our key is to make him throw pitches and get him out of there," San Diego's Ryan Klesko said. "He pitched himself out of a couple of jams."
Carpenter's biggest battle was with the weather. It was an unseasonably warm 84 degrees at gametime and 86 when he experienced cramping in his right hand while warming up before the seventh. The Cardinals said dehydration caused the problem and took him out as a precaution.
Carpenter said his fingers started cramping when he put on his batting glove before striking out in the sixth. He also said his hamstrings and calves were cramping.
"It only happened twice," Carpenter said. "But they weren't going to take a chance."
Peavy appeared to be the Padres' best shot at postseason success after going 13-7 with a 2.88 ERA — only five points behind Carpenter — and leading the NL with 216 strikeouts. But he couldn't make it through the fifth, his second-shortest outing of the season, and gave up eight runs on eight hits.
The Padres had been planning to pitch Peavy in game 4 on Sunday in San Diego on regular rest if the series goes that far. Now, the likely starter is Adam Eaton, who had been slotted for Game 5.
The Cardinals got to Peavy immediately. With one out in the first, Edmonds hit his 11th career postseason homer to the opposite field to give St. Louis the lead.

Five straight batters reached safely with one out in the third as the Cardinals scored three more times. The wild pitch that worsened Peavy's injury allowed one run to score and Sanders' infield hit drove in two more.

Both Pujols and Edmonds scored on Sanders' hit.

In the fifth, four straight Cardinals reached with one out.
The Padres had 13 hits, but eight came in the last two innings.
"I think anytime you're down eight runs and you end up getting the winning run at the plate, I think that shows a lot of character and heart of the club," Bochy said. "They were battling to the end."

Chicago routs Boston in playoff opener
BY RICK GANO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The White Sox hope to end a drought that's even longer,
CHICAGO — The winning socks came from the White Sox. Now, maybe it's their turn to end a long championship drought.
A. J. Pierzynski homered twice, Paul Konerko, Juan Uribe and even ScottPodsednik also connected, and Chicago scored five times in the first inning Tuesday en route to a 14-2 victory against the World Series champion Red Sox in their playoff opener.
Jose Contreras pitched effectively into the eighth inning, ending Boston's eight-game postseason winning streak that carried the team to its first title in 86 years last season.
dating way back to the days of Shoeless Joe Jackson and their most recent World Series crown in 1917, the last time they won any playoff series at all.
Game 2 in the best-of-five series is today at U.S. Cellular Field with Chicago's Mark Buehrle facing Boston's David Wells.
A sign in the stands summed up hopes on the South Side:
"2004: Their Sox, 2005: Our Sox."
The White Sox got their first playoff victory since 1993 with a stunning display of power.
Then again, Boston has done fine overcoming October deficits. The Red Sox rallied from 3-0 down to beat the New York Yankees in the AL championship series last year before sweeping St. Louis in the World Series for their first title since 1918.
Clement struggled with his control at the outset, hitting Podsednik and Jermaine Dye with pitches.
Conterras, who was 2-4 with an 11.67 ERA in his career against the Red Sox, allowed eight hits and two runs in 7 2-3 innings in his first playoff start.
Pierzynski's three-run homer off Matt Clement capped Chicago's first-inning outburst and sent a raucous, towel-waving crowd of 40,717 into delirium.
Konerko added a solo shot in the third and Uribe a two-run drive to finish Clement in the fourth. Podsednik, Chicago's speedy leadoff hitter who didn't have a homer all season, hit a three-run shot off Jeremi Gonzalez in the sixth.
Podsadnik stole third and after Konerko sent a long drive'
to left that was foul, he put the White Sox ahead with an RBI grounder to third.
Carl Everett followed with a single before Aaron Rowand sent an RBI single over shortstop for a 2-0 lead. The din increased moments later when Pierzynski lined a home run.
Trot Nixon singled in the fourth and, after Jason Varitek dropped down a bunt for another hit, Chicago third baseman Joe Crede made an error and both runners advanced.
Conterras threw another wild pitch at Nixon scored. Kevin Millar followed with a double, and the Red Sox were seemingly back in the game at 6-2.
But Chicago second baseman Tadahito Ighuchi made a heads-up play on Bill Mueller's grounder to douse the rally.

KC prepares for new team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fifteen New Orleans-based Arena Football League players will play in Kansas City this winter for a new expansion franchise.
The 18-team league reached an agreement with K.C. Arena Sports and Entertainment, which has signed a two-year lease to play its games at Kemper Arena. The new team has not yet been named. It paid the league a $16 million expansion fee and will get players under contract with the New Orleans VooDoo.
"It will be the Kansas City team," he said, "but we will certainly reach out to them and make sure it's still their team, too, and welcome their support as they follow us throughout the year."
The New Orleans franchise will not field a team next season because of the effects of Hurricane Katrina, but Tyler Prochnow of the Sports and Entertainment group said the Kansas City team would clearly be related to the VooDoo.
Born to ride
Kevin Porter, a former safety with the Kansas City Chiefs, is expected to be the coach of the new team. He had been defensive coordinator for the VooDoo, 9-7 last season under coach Mike Neu, who is expected to remain with the New Orleans franchise.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5B
"This is not the way we planned it, but it is the result of a lot of good people who are excited about arena football being in Kansas City," league commissioner David Baker said Monday.
The VooDoo franchise is owned by Tom Benson, who also owns the NFL's New Orleans Saints. He will retain rights to the team's franchise, nickname and colors.
Michael Roth of the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which will manage the Sprint Center, said his organization hopes to be able to negotiate an agreement for the new Kansas City team to play there after starting out at Kemper.
"This is such a great opportunity for the people of Kansas City," Prochnow said. "We feel great we were able to step in and help not only those players, but give the people of New Orleans their team to root for."
Baker said the league expected to approve a Kansas City expansion for 2007, but decided to move that up because of the circumstances involving Katrina.

According to police reports, the bumper of Verduzco's sports utility vehicle got so close it was touching the officer's leg. Police said two officers tried to remove him from his vehicle while he slapped at them and pulled awa.
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
That's when another officer sprayed Mace, police said.
Police said Verduzco was told not to turn into a gate at Arrowhead Stadium that he normally used because of heavy traffic, but did so anyway.
"I think I know what went on," Vermeil said. "I'm not as concerned about it. It's unfortunate. It shouldn't have happened. It could have been prevented. But that's as far as I'll go with it."
Maced coach 'did fine'
Vermeil declined to speak specifically about the incident, other than saying he was supporting his 35-year-old tight ends coach.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Getting sprayed with Mace by police before Kansas City played Philadelphia did not prevent assistant coach Jason Verduzco from doing a good job during the game, Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said Tuesday.
A general summons was issued to Verduzco alleging he "did intentionally attempt to inflict bodily injury" upon the officer and refused to stop his vehicle.
After an ambulance crew washed the Mace out his eyes, Verduzco was released on a signature bond and permitted to proceed.
Although he was late getting into the stadium, Vermeil said Verduzco "did fine" relaying plays from offensive coordinator Al Saunders in the press box to quarterback Trent Green on the field.
Vermeil said the Chiefs also needed Verduzco for his knowledge of the offense.
Asked if he could tell reporters any more about the incident, Vermeil said, "I could tell you a lot but I'm not going to. I defend him just like I would our own players."
"He's in the second-most pressured situation in the ball game," Vermeil said. "He takes every call and repeats it ... verbatim to the quarterback. And sometimes he has no time left."
"I have never been on the field with a guy who does a better job under pressure than he does," Vermeil said. "Having been a quarterback himself, he coached the quarterbacks and he knows this offense inside-out and backwards. He's a real asset. We could not have given that job to anybody else to do Sunday if he'd really be detained."

During Mangino's weekly press conference Tuesday, he would not say who was the starting running back, but he conceded that they were both capable of starting.
Cornish has not been able to get the number of carries that Green has seen. Despite leading Green in every rushing category,
Cornish still trails by six carries. What has been most impressive about Cornish is that he did not have any rushes for loss of yards this season. Football Nation
Football Notes:
Mangino did not announce who his starting quarterback would be for this Saturday's game against Kansas State. He said that he would start the quarterback who was the most consistent in practice.
Mangino named his players of the week from last week's contest against Texas Tech. Senior defensive end Charlton Keith and junior safety Jerome Kemp were named defensive players of the week while Cornish was named offensive player of the week. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker was named special teams player of the week.

A few years ago, after a big victory against Texas A&M, these same students tore down the goal posts and proceeded to ram them into the sections that Aggie fans occupied. Among these fans was Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Texas A&M alumnus. This sparked a fight between fans of both schools and involved primarily Red Raider students.

Later in the game against Kansas, Tech students began throwing ice and bottles on to the field and at the Kansas bench when they began their second-half comeback. and at the Kansas bench when the Jayhawks began their second-half comeback.
This prompted 'some of the defensive players to get into
shouting matches with students who yelled racial and obscene comments at them.
Granted, Texas Tech isn't Missouri, where even alumni throw batteries and slurs at visitors, primarily those from Kansas, but still it causes you to appreciate the fans here at Kansas and how they generally conduct themselves.
Thankfully, we weren't hit by anything, except for maybe tumbleweed.

New guidelines push members to talk to more students
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Do you know who your Student Senate representative is?
Twenty students outside of the Underground Wednesday morning answered no to that question.
Responses like these combined with last year's 16 percent voter turnout for the Student Senate election are leading the Senate to make changes.
To counter these results, the Senate is changing its guidelines this year to try to increase communication between senators and other students. Senators are
now required to do outreach activities that are monitored by the Senate office. One senator even hopes to reach out to students through random e-mail contact.
In the past the senate required its members to attend its outreach committee meetings but did not require them to take part in other student events, said Nolan Jones, senate communications director and Pittsburg junior.
Now senators must participate in activities such as student organization meetings, information tables on Wescoe Beach and Senate-funded events, Jones said.
Jones said the old method was more like "homework" and the new method was "getting involved."
He said he hoped the new plan would provide the Senate with new ideas of how to serve students. He said the more the Senate knows about other groups and students, the more these groups and students will know about the Senate. He said the new program would help senators think outside the box and talk to a more diverse group of students.
"Now I'm not just talking about the things the three guys I'm living with talk about," Jones said.
Senators now get points based on activities they do for outreach. Different senators are required to do different amounts of work.
Regular undergraduate College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senators must participate in more activities than senators representing schools with smaller constituencies, such as the engineering, pharmacy and law schools.
Senators who are nontraditional or graduate students have smaller participation requirements as well.
ADMINISTRATION
Work continues to fill top posts at University

Searches for four new administrators at the University of Kansas are moving forward slowly.
The University recently began its search for a new associate vice provost who will replace the former dean of students. Meanwhile, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Law and Social Welfare continue the hiring process for new deans.
The job description will be written during the first meeting. Then applications will be accepted and the committee will review them.
The search committee for the associate vice provost was scheduled to meet the first week of October. Its first meeting was pushed back to Oct. 18 because of scheduling conflicts, said Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success.
On-campus visits for the applicants will begin in February and the new associate vice provost will begin work June 1, 2006. Roney said that everything in the process except the first meeting appeared to be on schedule.
Ann Brill, dean of journalism and chairwoman of the search committee, said she would lead the first meeting and ask the committee members what qualifications the new associate vice provost should possess.
The associate vice provost position was formerly called the dean of students. The Office of the Vice Provost for Student Success announced its decision September 22 to combine with the Office of the Dean of Students and replace the title.
VACANCIES
The search process is underway at the University of Kansas to replace the following administrators:
Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
* Kim Wilcox 2002-2005
Dean of the School of Law
♦ Stephen McAllister
2000-2005
Dean of the School of Social Welfare
Ann Weick 1988-2006 (She will retire after the spring semester.)
Dean of Students (The replacement's title will be associate vice provost.)
◆ Richard Johnson 2001-
2005
Source: www.ku.edu
Roney said the office decided to change the title because it confused students. Roney said students were confused because the title gave the impression that the dean of student's job duties were equal to the deans' of the various schools on campus.
The College of Liberal Arts and Science's search committee had its first meeting in July and started reviewing applications Monday, said Don Steplees, committee member and vice provost for scholarly support.
Applications will be received until the dean's position has been filled, but late applications will not be reviewed as thoroughly.
"The boat sailed ... anybody else will have to swim to catch up," Steeples said.

There are band stickers everywhere. And posters. And, of course, the place is filled with CDs and vinyl records.
For music fanatics such as Andrew Bullington this place, student-run radio station KJHK 90.7 is paradise. Bullington, Lawrence senior, scans a wall of CDs in the cramped

Now pause for a second and imagine the strangest, most ridiculous CD on earth. He pulls it off the shelf.
"It's time for some communist music," he says as he whips out a CD with a cover shot of smiling North Korean farmers at work in a lush, green field.
It's Radio Pyongyang: Commie Funk and Agit Pop from the Hermit, Kingdom.
He places the disk into the stereo, and the happy-sounding North Koreans sing to Lawrence. For 30 years this month KJHK has been providing students with "a sound alternative." It plays jazz, hip-hop, reggae, rock 'n' roll, metal, techno and a million musical genres you've never heard of, plus sports talk, news and play-by-play sports.

Students should bring out the extra blankets this winter because the U.S. Department of Energy expects the price of natural gas and propane to rise dramatically.
formation officer for the Kansas Corporation Commission, said this year's natural gas bills were estimated by the Department of Energy to be 50 to 70 percent higher than last year's bills, if the conditions were the same.
Rosemary Foreman, public in-
She said the department made that forecast because the supply of natural gas and propane are in shortage after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The hurricanes caused production to go down while demand for natural gas went up.
"Let's hope we don't have an extremely cold winter because that's going to make the impact more severe." Foreman said.
Foreman said natural gas and propane are deregulated commodities, which means there is
no government regulation. She said supply and demand drive the price, just like the price of silver or gold.
She said utility companies were not allowed by law to make a profit on gas or propane. Aquila Inc. is the only gas company in Lawrence.

DJ who introduced Elvis to Kansas dies
WICHITA — Lee Nichols, who spent more than 20 years as a broadcaster in Wichita, has died. He was 99.
Nichols died Saturday in Spearman, Texas, where his funeral was held Wednesday.
A native of Amarillo, Texas, Nichols came to Wichita in 1951 as a disc jockey at KWBB. He became one of the first Kansas disc jockeys to play rock 'n' roll music, and in 1956 he introduced Elvis Presley to more than 4,000 screaming fans at a Wichita concert.
Nichols later became manager at radio stations KSIR and KFRM, staying in Wichita broadcasting until 1974.
"Wichita is where he really hit it big," said his son, John. "He'd do a morning show on rock and roll where he was known as Big Daddy Lee Nichols, and in the afternoon have a couple of hours of country western."
Nichols is survived by his wife, Melva, of Pueblo West, Colo.; his son John, also of Pueblo West; his daughter, Marilyn Davis of Conway, Ark.; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
In 1965 Nichols wrote a song, "I'm Gonna Tie One On Tonight," that became a Billboard No. 1 country and western hit for the Wilburn Brothers, who also used it as the title for an album. Ernest Tubb also made a recording of the song.

EDUCATION
Colorado to review standards
State forms academic council
BY SANDY SHORE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Gov. Bill Owens formed a state commission Monday to recommend ways to close the gap between high school standards and college entrance requirements and better prepare graduates for higher education and the work force.
The Colorado Education Alignment Council is composed of 30 education and business leaders who will spend the next year reviewing academic standards to determine how to make a student's move to college easier.
About 25 percent of high school graduates are placed in remedial classes as college freshmen, according to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.
That number jumps to 31 percent of recent graduates
from the Jefferson County School District, the state's largest, and 49 percent in the Denver Public Schools District.
"It's clear that too many students in Colorado still leave high school unprepared for college, and too many students still leave high school unprepared for the work force," he said. "To truly boost student achievement, we realize we must work together and we must work with the business community."
The council will determine if high-school academic standards meet expectations for higher education and the general work force.
It also will determine if higher education admissions
The Colorado Education Alignment Council is composed of 30 education and business leaders who will spend the next year reviewing academic standards to determine how to make a student's move to college easier.
guidelines are what high school graduates expect to find.
Owens said the council would not look at whether the kindergarten-12th grade system and the higher education system should be merged but would focus instead on academics.
Joyce Bales, superintendent of Pueblo School District 60 and a council member, said high school graduation requirements should be the same as the college entrance guidelines. "There has to be a better connection," she said.
Co-leaders of the council will be Rick O'Donnell, executive director of the higher
education commission, William J. Moloney, state education commissioner, and Nancy Tour, president and chief executive officer of Kaiser-Hill LLC.
Other members include schooldistrict superintendents, heads of businesses, universities and colleges and economic development councils.
"At a time when we universally recognize the need for a larger proportion of our children to move on to higher education, we are seeing before them major barriers to their achievement." Moloney said. "Our focus on the achievement gap is absolutely the right message."

University gets anti-terrorism grant
The University of Kansas Medical Center will receive a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The grant — which will be disbursed over three years — will help the Medical Center continue planning a project called "Can It Happen in Kansas?"
— Travis Robinett
The project will plan emergency responses to terrorism threats. It will also train personnel and first responders. The first payment of the grant is $1.4 million. The amount of the next two payments will be determined at a later date. Dennis Minich, spokesman for the Medical Center, said determining how the money would be spent was a time-consuming process.The result of the last grant, which was for $2.2 million and given two years ago, was used for a large-scale disaster drill.

Event to highlight Israeli culture
Ryan Grinnell, a 29-year-old KU student, reported to Lawrence police that a person stole $200 in marijuana about 9:20 p.m. Sept. 28 from the 2000 block of Heatherwood Drive, said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department. Grinnell heard knocking on a door and opened the door to two people, one of whom appeared to have a gun, Ward said. Grinnell grabbed the handgun, which broke because it was not a real gun, he said.
The KU Israel Alliance and KU Hillel are sponsoring an event to inform students about Israeli culture. Israel on the Hill will feature booths to educate students on issues such as Israeli music, technology, youth culture and politics. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in front of Stauffer Flint Hall, between Watson Library and Wesco Hall.
Student reports marijuana stolen
Booths will also offer Israeli merchandise and Mediterranean food for sale and provide opportunities to donate to humanitarian organizations associated with Israel. John Benjamin, Lawrence junior and vice president of KU Israel Alliance, said the event was intended to show Israel beyond the ongoing conflict and would focus on more positive aspects of the society.
KU Hillel is a Jewish campus organization and the KU Israel Alliance is a student-run group that promotes awareness of the Israeli people throughout campus and in Lawrence.
A struggle ensued and some marijuana was stolen from Grinnell, Ward said. Police have not apprehended any suspects, he said.
"There's a lot about Israel culturally that just doesn't get any press attention." Benjamin said
Ward would not comment on whether Grinnell would be charged with possession of marijuana. Steve Lynn

- An article in Wednesday's The University Daily Kansan needs clarification. In the story "Athlete sues over dismissal from team," Judge Robert Fairchild first ruled that the Kansas Athletics Department could not stop former softball player Jackie Vasquez from participating in practices and revoke her scholarship, after hearing arguments from the plantiff. The next day, on Sept. 30, Fairchild reversed his ruling after hearing arguments from the defense and said the department could stop Vasquez from participating in practices and revoke her scholarship.

There's one thing you can count on: Commercial stations aren't playing this stuff.
Since KJHK first broadcast on the lawn of Stauffer Flint Hall on Oct. 15, 1975, it's been providing students something different - at times something quite different - to tune in to.
"A lot of kids come to college and think good songs are those that get played on Top-40 stations," said Fowler Jones, who spun records for the station from 1984 to 1987. "KJHK will totally blow that notion up."
KJHK has been cited over the years as a leading college radio station in magazines such as Rolling Stone. In 1986 Spin Magazine cited it as "one of those rare stations that is the focal point to the local music scene."
With dozens of students coming and going each semester - it takes more than 150 of them to run KJHK - the station has also made its share of on-air mistakes.
In the fall of 1978 it inadvertently broadcast a phony news report that the town of Waterloo, Iowa, had been destroyed in a nuclear meltdown and that 15.000 people had been killed.
Dave Grissom, who wrote the story, said it slipped into another student's broadcast by mistake.
"We were always told to lead with a local story, unless it was something really big," he said. "Apparently that story wasn't big enough."
He said that oddest part of the incident was that the broadcaster who read the
story didn't think it was important enough to lead the broadcast with.
In 1988, after more than a decade of broadcasting mostly underground music, the station switched to a more traditional Top-40 format.
The change sparked protests from students, and before long the station brought back a diet of eclectic programming.
On Dec. 3, 1994, KJHK became the first station in the world to broadcast a live, continuous signal over the Internet (another station broadcast a live signal on the Internet before KJHK, but it cut in and out, while KJHK's was the first coherent signal).
Perhaps the station's greatest contribution to the University has been providing a springboard for students pursuing careers in radio.
"You can read about broadcasting, you can listen to good broadcasters, but you're never going to get anywhere until you get on the air," said Brian Hanni, a 2002 graduate who's currently the sports director at KLWN Lawrence.
For Dan Parnell, a DJ in the mid-70s, KJHK was the start of a 15-year career as a radio announcer.
IN CELEBRATION
"It all started with those fun, unrestrained graveyard shifts with a pile of vinyl at KJHK," he said.
Student-run radio station K.JHK 99.7 FM is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month with the following music events:
Wednesday, Oct. 19:
♦ Chuck D, member of hip-hop group Public Enemy, will lecture at 8 p.m. in the ballroom of the Kansas Union.
The cost is $4 for students and $8 for the public.
Thursday, Oct. 20:
♦ Dance and electronic groups LCD Soundsystem and Juan Maclean are performing at 9 p.m. at the Granada Theatre. Tickets are $20.
Friday, Oct. 21:
♦ "Plow the Fields," a free music show featuring four local bands, will be at 10 p.m. at the Bottleneck.

Andy Dierks, KJHK general manager and faculty adviser, said the station would undergo changes in the years to come.
He'd eventually like to move the station out of the Sudler House Annex — its crowded, ancient studio on 11th Street across from the JRP parking lot — and into the Kansas Union.
But those plans are down the road a way. This month, it's time to look back.

were two parts to the rule.
The device has an instrument that shows if a home has more leaks than a normal home, Craft said. He said reducing the number of leaks would decrease heating costs by about half for the small cost of the test.
First, the rule allows people to pay only 1/12 of their bill to electric and natural gas companies for any month between November and March.
Foreman said the cold weather rule applied to all electric and natural gas companies under the Kansas Corporation Commission's jurisdiction, and every residential customer qualifies. To receive the benefits of the rule in Lawrence, contact Aquila at 1-800-303-0752.
If people choose this option, they would pay the rest of the bill over the next 11 months, with 1/12 of the original payment amount added to each monthly bill. A person can choose the option as many times as he wishes, but the more he does, the more he would owe in the future.
Another way to combat rising gas prices is to take advantage of the Kansas Corporation Commission's cold weather rule. Foreman said if home owners or renters fall behind on their bill payment, they can use the rule to keep their service connected. She said there

One of the new program's plans is for senators to send e-mails to students in his or her constituency. Ethan Nuss, CLAS senator and Salina senior, came up with the idea. He called it "representative sampling."

Nuss said he thought the contact could help make the senate more accountable and help it start more programs that directly affect students. He said the program would show the Senate was actively seeking to connect with students throughout the entire school year, not just at election time.
"If Aquila has to pay $10 a unit on gas, they charge $10," Foreman said.
To combat the rising prices, the fifth annual Home Energy Conservation Fair is being held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2120 Harper St., Sunday. The fair was organized by the Recycling and Resource Conservation Advisory Board.
Nuss said he wanted a form e-mail sent to between five and 10 students per constituency every week. The e-mail plan is still in the proposal stages, but Nuss said he was confident it would become policy. Senators have already spoken with Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, about getting e-mail lists of the student population to start the program.

New commissioner seen as conservative
BY JOHN HANNA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — When it comes to evolution and sex education, the state's new education commissioner agrees with the people who hired him.
Bob Corkins said Wednesday he supports proposed science standards backed by the State Board of Education's conservative majority that are designed to expose students to more criticism of evolution. Those standards were drafted by intelligent design advocates and have been criticized heavily by some scientists.
The board Tuesday hired Corkins on a 6-4 vote, mirroring the conservative-moderate split. For four years, Corkins has led two conservative think tanks, the Freestate Center for Liberty
Corkins also said during an interview that he favored a proposal to require school districts to get parents' written permission before having students take sex education classes. Most districts now assume a student will participate in the classes unless a parent objects.
Krebs and other critics worry about promoting intelligent design, which they view as another form of creationism, which has been banned from classrooms by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I have no objection, no personal objection, nor any hesitation to personally support those positions that I've seen the board take." Corkins said.
Corkins said the board's majority wasn't promoting religion.
Studies and Kansas Legislative Research and Education.
Jack Krebs, a critic of the board's conservatives, wasn't surprised. An Oskaloosa High School teacher, Krebs helped draft proposed science standards with evolution-friendly language the conservatives rejected and rewrote.
"I think it would behoove Kansans to look more into what the board has actually recommended in terms of science standards," Corkins said. "It's, in fact, not religion that they're hoping to teach in schools, but good science. That's what this is all about."
But Corkins said parents should have a role in deciding what classes their children take, adding that local school officials have wanted to encourage greater interaction among parents and educators. "The opt-in policy is very consistent with those goals," he said.
"They definitely picked someone who they think will further their agenda on a number of issues," Krebs said. "Of course, it's troubling, because it means that he is a part of this conservative attack on education." The board expects to approve new science standards later this year to be used in testing students, while letting local school boards decide what actually is taught.
Last month, the board split 5-5 on the sex education proposal, with all the yes votes coming from conservatives. Critics of the plan say it would lead to fewer students receiving necessary sex education.
The new standards would replace ones that treat evolution as well-established science and would be used to determine the questions on statewide, mandatory student achievement tests for science.

FLU
Scientists construct virus for research
ATLANTA — It sounds like a sci-fi thriller. For the first time, scientists have made from scratch the Spanish flu virus that killed millions of people in 1918.
BY MIKE STOBBE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Why? To help them understand how to better bend off a future global epidemic from the bird flu spreading in Southeast Asia.
Researchers believe their work offers proof the 1918 flu originated in birds and provides insights into how it attacked and multiplied in humans. On top of that, this marks the first time an infectious agent behind a historic pandemic has ever been reconstructed.
The scientists involved in the project contend there's no real risk to public safety. The vials of this frightening germ — about 10 of them — are locked away at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said Terrence Tumpey, the CDC research scientist who constructed the virus.
"There isn't much input from the public. I think there should be," said Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Bioethics.
However, at least one ethicist thinks there should be a broader public discussion before scientists take such bold steps.
Like the 1918 virus, the current avian flu in Southeast Asia occurs naturally in birds. In 1918, the virus mutated, infected people and then spread among them. So far, the current Asian virus has infected and killed at least 65 people but has rarely spread person-to-person.
SUPREME COURT
Oregon goes to battle over right to die
BY GINA HOLLAND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — New Chief Justice John Roberts stepped forward Wednesday as an aggressive defender of federal authority to block doctor-assisted suicide, as the Supreme Court clashed over an Oregon law that lets doctors help terminally ill patients end their lives.
The justices will decide if the federal government, not states, has the final say on the life-or-death issue.
It was a wrenching debate for a court touched personally by illness. Roberts replaced William H. Rehnquist, who died a month ago after battling cancer for nearly a year.
Three justices have had cancer and a fourth has a spouse who counsels children with untreatable cancer.
The outcome is hard to predict, in part because of the uncertain status of retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor who seemed ready to support Oregon's law.
Her replacement may be confirmed before the ruling is handed down, possibly months from now.
Roberts repeatedly raised concerns that a single exception for Oregon would allow other states to create a patchwork of rules.
"If one state can say it's legal for doctors to prescribe morphine to make people feel better, or to prescribe steroids for bodybuilding, doesn't that undermine the uniformity of the federal law and make enforcement impossible?" he asked.
The Supreme Court eight years ago concluded that the
If this court makes clear that state law can overtake the federal regime, I think it at least creates the potential for there to be a lot of holes in the regime."

Ruth Gallaid from Eugene, Ore., who supports physician assisted suicide, protests in front of the Supreme Court Wednesday in Washington. The Supreme Court revisited the emotionally charged issue of physician-assisted suicide in a test of the federal government's power to block doctors from helping terminally ill patients and end their lives.

dying had no constitutional right to doctor-assisted suicide. O'Connor provided a key fifth vote in that decision, which left room for state-by-state experimentation.
The new case is a turf battle of sorts, started by former Attorney General John Ashcroft, a favorite among the president's conservative religious supporters.
Hastening someone's death is an improper use of medication and violates federal drug laws, Ashcroft reasoned in 2001, an opposite conclusion from the one reached by Attorney General Janet Reno in the Clinton administration.
Oregon won a lawsuit in a lower court over its voter-approved law, which took effect in 1997 and has been used by 208 people.
David Souter, in an emotional moment, said that it's one thing for the government to ban date rape drugs and harmful
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has had colon cancer, talked about medicines that make a sick person's final moments more comfortable.
The Supreme Court appeared sharply divided in hearing the Bush administration's appeal.
products but "that seems to me worlds away from what we're talking about here."
On the other side, Roberts and Antonin Scalia appeared skeptical of Oregon's claims that states have the sole authority to regulate the practice of medicine.
Roberts, 50, was presiding over his first major oral argument and thrust himself in the middle of the debate.
Over and over he raised concerns that states could undermine federal regulation of addictive drugs.
He interrupted Oregon Senior Assistant Attorney General Robert Atkinson in his first minute, then asked more than a dozen more tough questions.
Roberts said the federal government has the authority to determine what is a legitimate medical purpose and "it suggests that the attorney general
has the authority to interpret that phrase" to declare that assisted suicide is not legitimate. Roberts asked three questions of the Bush administration lawyer, noting that Congress passed one drug law only after "lax state treatment of opium."
"I was wondering if the new chief would hold back and wouldn't ruffle other people's feathers. It appears clear he's not waiting for anything or anyone," said Neil Siegel, a law professor at Duke University and a former Supreme Court clerk.
The two justices who seemed most conflicted were Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer. Breyer's wife counsels young cancer patients.
Besides Ginsburg, the justices who have had cancer are O'Connor and John Paul Stevens.
"For me, the case turns on the statute. And it's a hard case."
Kennedy told the Bush administration's lawyer, and later he asked about the "serious consequences" of curbing federal government authority in regulating drugs.
Solicitor General Paul Clement said, "If this court makes clear that state law can overtake the federal regime, I think it at least creates the potential for there to be a lot of holes in the regime."
Dozens of spectators gathered outside the court, waving signs supporting and opposing the Oregon law. "My Life, My Death, My Choice," read one sign.
"Oregon Law Protects Doctors — Not Patients," said another.
Oregon is the only state with an assisted suicide law, but other states may pass their own if the court rules in the state's favor.

Hurricane spawns massive rainstorms
BY DIEGO MENDEZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Heavy rains pounded Central America for a fourth day Wednesday, pushing rivers over their banks, flooding communities and unleashing at least two deadly mudslides as the region's death toll surpassed 120.
Hurricane Stan, which had helped spawn rainstorms in Central America, weakened to a depression over the southern state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, a day after making landfall along Mexico's Gulf coast. But punishing rains continued in parts of Central America and southern Mexico.
In Guatemala, a mudslide near the internationally popular tourist destination of Lake Atitlan, about 60 miles west of the capital, Guatemala City,
buried several houses. It was not clear how many people were caught in the earth and debris, said Carlos Santizo, chief of the Solola volunteer fire department.
An Associated Press photographer on site said he saw at least 12 bodies recovered, bringing the death toll in Guatemala alone to at least 50, and the total number of confirmed victims to more than 120 throughout the region.
Flooding in scores of Guatemalan communities forced the evacuation of more than 6,000 residents. Nearly all of the country's rivers overflowed, while landslides and fallen trees blocked at least 30 roadways. Most of the victims were killed in landslides, national disaster agency officials said.
Guatemalaan President Oscar Berger called on Congress to declare a national state of
emergency, allowing the government to force evacuations of dangerous areas, set prices on emergency supplies and provide federal coordination of relief efforts.
"But we're only going to do all of this if it is absolutely necessary." Berger said.
In the Salvadoran capital, San Salvador, at least 50 people were killed by four days of mudslides and flooding. More than 16,700 Salvadorans had fled their homes for 167 shelters nationwide.
Among those evacuated were residents of Santa Tecla, outside the capital, San Salvador, where a strong earthquake caused a massive landslide in January 2001. Officials have worried the mountain running alongside the neighborhood might collapse again with heavy rains or another quake.

In the Chiapas city of Tapachula, near Mexico's border with Guatemala, three people were killed when an overflowing river roared through the city, also carrying homes of
wood and metal, civil protection officials said Wednesday. Three other Chiapas residents were confirmed dead, as flooding forced hundreds of evacuations.
▼ CATHOLIC CHURCH
Bishop: organized crime donations acceptable, welcomed
BY LISA J. ADAMS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — When a Mexican bishop declared that drug traffickers often donate to the church, shock waves ran through this predominantly Roman Catholic nation — not because the news was a surprise, but because admitting it was tantamount to confessing that nothing, not even God, is sacred when it comes to organized crime in Mexico.
Provoking the uproar were Bishop Ramon Godinez's comments to reporters that donations from drug traffickers are not unusual and it's not the
church's responsibility to investigate. He argued that the money is "purified" once it passes through parish doors.
"Just because the origin of the money is bad doesn't mean you have to burn it," Godinez, of the central state of Aguascalientes, said last month. "Instead, you have to transform it. ... We live on this, on the offerings of the faithful."
Organized crime, especially drug trafficking, and the threat it poses to public safety are among Mexicans' highest concerns. And it's not just the criminals they worry about. They also distrust the public agencies responsible for tackling crime
prosecutors, police, the judicial system and politicians.
The church, on the other hand, is still held in high esteem.
"Of all the institutions in Mexico, the church is ranked No. 1 in terms of people's confidence," said Roderic Al Camp, an expert on Mexican religion at Claremont-McKenna College in California. It is "the one institution they find morally superior and basically honest and serving the interests of the average Mexican."
That trust holds steady even though it is common knowledge that "many towns and chapels in Mexico have been remodeled and restored thanks to the generous contributions of people who work in drug trafficking," Mexican religion expert Roberto Blancarte wrote in the Milenio newspaper.
Especially in poor, outlying rural areas, drug traffickers have taken on a kind of "Robin Hood" role, Blancarte said.
"It's not official, but it's probably fairly accepted," Camp added. "You don't want to legitimize it ... because it's such a contradiction to the church's whole philosophy. People are looking to the church for moral leadership."
The Vatican had no comment on the matter Wednesday. But a Vatican official noted that the
church has general principals based on the Bible which would prevent it from receiving the "fruit of an injustice."
For more than 300 years after the Spanish conquest of 1521, the Catholic Church was at the heart of Mexican power socially, politically and economically. Although the mid-19th-century Laws of the Reform put an end to that dominance, the country has remained — at least nominally — 90 percent Catholic.
"There are many ... who want to scare us with the idea" that the church once again could become an all-powerful presence, said Jaime
Septien Crespo, editor of the Catholic weekly newspaper Observador in the central state of Queretaro. "There is an interest in discrediting this presence, so when a minister of the church says something clumsy, he becomes an easy target."
As next year's presidential election race heats up, the scandal has been exaggerated by political parties "looking to destroy potential alliances, in this case an alliance of the National Action Party and the church," Crespo said, referring to the alleged links between President Vicente Fox's conservative party and the clergy.

Lohan involved in second crash
BY DENISE PETSKI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan, whose car crash in May led to a state law aimed at reining in celebrity photographers, has crashed again, this time after witnesses said she was swarmed by paparazzi.
“C
Lohan and a female passenger suffered minor injuries Tuesday after the actress' Mercedes-Benz convertible collided with a van on a West Hollywood street.
She got into her black Mercedes across the street and they literally were like sitting on her car, trying to take pictures of her, she was like yelling at them to get off."
Witnesses said Lohan, 19, had been shopping at a clothing store when she was confronted and that dozens of photographers had been following her before the crash.
Lori Satzberg Witness
"There were about 30 photographers outside covering the store; the poor girl just was shopping and they were just like hounding her." said Lori Satzberg. 43.
"She got into her black Mercedes across the street and they literally were like sitting on her car, she trying to take pictures of her, she was like yelling at them to get off," said Satzberg, who was shopping with her 13-year-old
daughter.
The driver of the van, which careened into a parked vehicle, suffered moderate injuries, said Sgt. Diane Hecht of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities investigating the car crash said Wednesday that contrary to reports from some witnesses, paparazzi had nothing to do with the collision.
The crash occurred because the driver of the van made a Uturn in front of Lohan, said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The van's driver may be cited, he added.
The syndicated television show "Access Hollywood" identified the van driver as Raymundo Ortega, 40, a busboy at a Beverly Hills
eatery.
Ortega told the show that he was treated for minor injuries. Authorities said there was no evidence alcohol was involved in the crash.
"She happens to be an innocent victim in all of this," Whitmore said. "The paparazzi, as far as we can tell, have nothing to do in terms of the accident."
Lohan's publicist did not return a call for comment.
The star of such films as "Mean Girls" and "Herbie: Fully Loaded" also was involved in a May 31 traffic accident when she tried to evade a photographer who collided with her.
That photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon after police said
he deliberately crashed his car into Lohan's.
The crash was credited with prompting passage of a measure Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law on Friday calling for steep financial penalties for paparazzi who commit assaults in their efforts to obtain celebrity photos.
The new law allows victims of paparazzi assaults to file lawsuits seeking up to three times the damages they suffered. The law goes into effect Jan. 1.
Tuesday's accident was witnessed by a number of people, including a reporter for the syndicated television show "The Insider."
Other witnesses said they saw Lohan and her passenger run into an antique store immediately after the crash.
"She was very upset," said Javier Ramirez, who works at Hideaway House antiques.
"She kept saying, 'Oh my God,
oh my God, I can't believe it."
Ramirez said Lohan and her passenger left after a few minutes and although both were shaken up, neither appeared badly hurt.

Jennifer Lopez attracts crowd in Mexico
MONTERREY, Mexico
MONTERREY, Mexico Dressed in a blue shirt, khaki pants and a blond wig, Jennifer Lopez chased a bus and attended a street protest as a crowd of onlookers broke into aclause.
The 37-year-old actress-singer was filming scenes Monday in the Mexican border city of Nogales for "Bordertown," a movie about the largely unsolved killings of women in Ciudad Juarez.
Lopez plays a Chicago-based reporter sent to Mexico to investigate the killings. The film, directed by Gregory
Nava, also stars Antonio Banderas.
Traffic backed up around the set and hundreds of people crowded the streets of Nogales to get a glimpse of Lopez, who was accompanied by her husband, Marc Anthony, local newspapers reported Tuesday.

Jason Alexander sells pilot to USA Network
OXFORD, Miss. - When the CBS comedy "Listen Up" was canceled, star Jason Alexander was the last to know.
"I found out about it in USA Today," Alexander told The Associated Press recently.
"That show had a sizable audience and a loyal audience and it wasn't a runaway hit but it wasn't a runaway miss," said the 46-year-old actor.
"We did better in our first year than the 'Raymond' show did in their first year, but there was a time that a network would allow a show to grow. Those days are gone."
Alexander, who played Jerry Seinfeld's friend George Costanza on the long-running comedy "Seinfeld," isn't ready to give up on television just yet
He recently sold a pilot to the USA Network that Alexander describes as a "dramedy" with a detective element.

Popular Japanese comic succeeds in film
HONG KONG - Kentaro Otani said it was difficult to adapt his new film, "Nana" from the best-selling comic book of the same name because there were so many popular scenes.
"For me, the toughest thing was not being able to bring the entire comic book to the big screen," the Japanese director said at a news conference to promote the movie.
Otani, speaking through a translator, said he hoped comics could "transend cultures and be accepted by everyone."
"Nana," the story of two young women of the same name who cross paths, has grossed over $26.4 million in Japan.

GIVIN' IT TO YOU STRAIGHT
So, are we going to The Hawk again tonight?
I was thinking it might be more fun to kill ourselves.
Matthew Seyclk/KANSAN
Time to leave the nest Hawk purveyors
After 17 alcohol-related violations in two and a half years, the Hawk may finally have to disrupt the social lives of many KU students by closing its doors to the city of Lawrence.
Wow, that would be the day. What's going to happen to this town when all of those people who have continuously relied upon The Hawk for their nights of drunken merriment and stimulating conversations with the same faces weekend after weekend have to find some other place to party?
It is surprising that a bar with so many violations has managed to remain open as long as it has. With all of the bars in Lawrence, why does this one seem to have such a problem with underage drinking?
To answer this question, I am reminded of my early days at the University. When I moved to Lawrence my freshman year, I was told by several people that The Hawk was the place to go for those who were under 21, and that half of the people in the bar were under 21, so I wouldn't be out-numbered.
Low and behold, my first experience at The Hawk was just as I expected.
As soon as I knew it was that easy to get inside, it became my favorite bar — or rather, the only bar in Lawrence that I knew I could get into.
MEGAN LOGUE
ovinion@kansan.com
Keep in mind that this was when I was a freshman; my opinion of The Hawk has changed quite a bit in the last few years, the most recent of which I have actually been legal.
If The Hawk is forced to close, what is Lawrence really losing? Just for fun, let's go through a typical weekend night at The Hawk in order to honestly evaluate it as a drinking establishment.
First, unless you plan on getting there before 9 p.m., you'll be waiting in line anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
Then, once you've made it through the line, you have to have your ID recorded and, if you're under 21, you hope the door men have kindly allowed you to enter. Finally, you must pay a $2 to $5 cover, depending on the night of the week, and you're home free. By now you might be thinking "Wow, look at all of these people."
Of course the place is packed, and you must somehow get to the bar and order a drink before it is last call. This can be a challenge, as some of you well know.
Once you have your drink, it's time for some heavy, intellectual socializing and your attempt to make your way through the herd as you migrate from level to level.
Usually, by the end of the night, whether you decide to shake it on the dance floor or opt for a mellow evening on the back patio, you will most likely leave the bar sweaty, with filthy jeans and shoes.
Hmmm, sounds like a damn good time to me.
I feel compelled to give The Hawk some credit, because in small doses, it can be fun every now and again. But so can a lot of other bars.
For those who obsessively go, week after week, and sadly, year after year, it is you who will suffer the most if this bar closes, because your second home has finally fallen prey to the law.
Looks like you will have to branch out and force yourself to experience the other bars in this town. So, to all of you "Hawk groupies," just ask yourself one question: How many of those 17 "alcohol-related" violations have you or one of your friends been involved in?
To you fine young men and women, I'm sure The Hawk thanks you.

Gross makes major miscalculations
It is not now, nor has it ever been the position of Lawrence Counter-Recruitment (LCR) that Saddam Hussein was a legitimate or humane ruler. Nor is it the position of LCR that the United States went to war to liberate the Iraqi people from twnanny.
Major Joseph Gross would justify an illegal and unjust war with emotional arguments about Hussein's despotic regime, using allegations of rape and other tortures to mask the deeper causes of this war.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
their own lives. This is a right the U.S. ignores or tramples regularly.
The American government has supported numerous dictators with no thought to their human rights record, including Saddam Hussein who received financial aid and arms from the U.S. government to conduct a war in Iran.
We use depleted uranium in ammunition, poisoning our own soldiers. Is this humane? Does the brutality of Hussein's regime justify our own? LCR would like to invite Major Gross to debate these issues in an open forum. We ask him to join us for a panel discussion at at 7 p.m. on Oct. 27 in the Kansas Union.
It is neither the place nor the right of our government to install or remove leaders at will. It is the right of all people to determine
When the US ended support of Hussein, it imposed sanctions that killed 1.5 million Iraqi civilians according to UNICEF, more than Major Gross claims Hussein killed in his tenure. The "humane" wars the U.S. has conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan have included civilian casualties, torture — documented most recently by Human Rights
Watch and including beatings, withheld food and extended sleep deprivation — and the destruction of homes, towns, cities and infrastructures.

Tradition is never an excuse for disrespect
People, sports fans or otherwise, shouldn't have a problem with not playing against a team for a few years in order to achieve greater equality. It's heartbreaking that it was even suggested we ignore injustice in order for the fans to watch a match-up between Illinois and Kansas.

50 years from now, a basketball game will mean nothing, but equality will still be everything.
Monday morning, Joel Simone wrote a huge article on how Native American mascots weren't offensive or insulting. Hello? We live in a country that tries to not be racist.
Nothing is set in stone yet, and it is up to the Athletics Department to decide whether we'll play teams with banned mascots.
As a last note, we in Student Senate chose to acclimate the proposal, meaning that we passed it unanimously and without contention.
▼ GUEST COMMENTARY
It was made pretty clear that Joel, as a sports fan, was not concerned with how Native Americans view these school mascots.
I would therefore hazard a guess that Joel is much more in the minority than he realizes.
Also: The Kanas will not print guest columns that attack another columnist.

He said that, "the argument made by some Native Americans does not hold water," and that "a few people can ruin things for the majority."
EDITORIAL BOARD
small sacrifice for respect.
Well, news flash: We live in a country that embraces the minority viewpoint, and to insinuate that the feelings of Native Americans don't matter is insulting.

Generally speaking, people in this country don't tolerate things that are offensive and degrading. Sports shouldn't be any different.
If we want to live in a truly loving and understanding society, we need to be flexible. I find a mascot change to be a
The Indian mascots chosen by schools such as Florida State likely weren't selected out of prejudice (as Joel pointed out), but the fact remains that these mascots present an often one-sided view of Native Americans as warriors or savages.
Also, the half-time traditions of some schools show ceremonies or rituals that are dear to the hearts of many Native Americans. I don't find their frustration unwarranted.
Sports should never take precedence over compassion; just because a university has always had a Native American mascot doesn't mean it should continue.

And I see no difference between the two. If an entire group of people feels disrespected and mistreated, then we are obviously doing something wrong.
Tradition has always, and should always, be sacrificed for acceptance, whether it was women's suffrage or abolition of slavery.

Nancy Sanders isn't gone. She's in too many places to count.
Bill Crowe, head of the Spencer Research Library, recalls stories about his wife, Nancy Sanders.
Sara Garlick/KANSAN
She's in a frame on the wall with her younger sister, Kathryn. She's in the weary eyes of her husband, Bill Crowe, head of the Spencer Research Library, seated by the fireplace. She's in the genes of their miracle baby, Kate, a few feet away.
You've probably never heard of Nancy Sanders. But Bill Crowe recalls her as the dirt soul of Douglas County, a woman from a farming family who knew what it meant to be a Jayhawk and savored every minute of it.
Nugent, sitting surrounded by framed pictures of the students he grew close to as a KU librarian from 1950 to 1993, will never forget seeing the obituary of Sanders, who worked for him at the Watson Library circulation desk until she graduated in 1967 with a Spanish degree. Students aren't supposed to die before their mentors.
Before Sanders, 60, died of cancer on Sept.14, she and Crowe left a $250,000 endowment to the University so some day a few "Sanders Scholars" will get an opportunity to attend the university she loved.
Sanders grew up in Lawrence in a modest house on 2120 New Hampshire St., raised by two Kansans who grew up during the heart of the Great Depression. Her mother, Dorothy, had been forced to drop out of the University after two years to take a job as a bank teller. She made sure her two children, Nancy and Kathryn, got the education she couldn't afford.
Nancy's father, Raymond "Tag" Sanders, who owned a car dealership in town, grew up in southwest Douglas County on a 160-acre farm his parents bought in 1908. The farm was a special place to Nancy. She spent many hours there as a child. In 1998 she moved there with Bill and Kate into a new house she designed, where Bill now lives alone.
Nancy Sanders isn't gone. She's in the living room of John Nugent, her mentor, on an obituary resting in his hands. Nugent, 82, kept a copy of a press release for Sanders' endowment, which she and Crowe set up three months before she died.
Like losing a child
In a few years, the endowment — the Raymond W. and Dorothy Jewell Sanders Fund — will provide scholarships for student library employees and set them up with mentors like Nugent.
reason Sanders became a librarian, which in turn was the reason she and Crowe met in 1974, as co-workers at an Indiana University library. "She was one of the best student assistants I ever had," said Nugent, a radio at his side and a World War II dog tag around his neck. "It's hard she had to die so young."
Sanders actually lived longer than expected, considering she had Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes — the worst type — at a young age. Having the disease meant her body didn't produce insulin to take sugar from her blood to her body cells. She made it to 60. "She wasn't supposed to live that long," Crowe said.
Someone to live for
In 1981, at the age of 35, Sanders did something doctors warned her would be a death sentence because of her fragile vascular system, an effect of the diabetes: She gave birth. Suddenly, Sanders knew she would have to live at least long enough to see her miracle, Kate, graduate from Lawrence High School.
Sanders made it, and then, in spring 2004, she saw Kate graduate from the University with a history degree. Kate is now studying library science at Emporia State.
"She always said that anything after 55 is gravel," Kate said, her long, dark hair a little disheveled from cleaning out the barn with Kathryn, who lives down the road.
In her last few years, Sanders didn't put anything off, knowing that with each year she lived, she pushed the odds a little more. She worked tirelessly in her flower and vegetable gardens, took a trip to Europe with Crowe in 2002 — the first time they'd been there together — and spent time making the house just the way she liked it.
Every detail of the house meant something to her, from the wooden mantle carved from a tree found on the property to the kitchen floorboards salvaged from the original farmhouse.
On the wall above her grandparents' big supper table hangs an expensive, giant framed picture of a wide river and thick trees, which Sanders and Crow bought in June to commemorate their 27th and final wedding anniversary.
When they had company, the objects made great conversation pieces on the history and old-time characters of Douglas County, a subject Sanders knew well. "You should hear her talk," said one of the couple's frequent guests, Provost David Shulenburger.
On Labor Day, Shulenburger and his wife, Carol, had a final outing with Sanders and Crowe at the Eldridge Hotel. He and Sanders returned to their usual conversation points over drinks and a little food. He related his farming stories from North Carolina with hers and asked her local history questions.
"That was a grand evening," he said, sipping coffee in his office and smiling at thoughts of his friend. "She physically wasn't as strong as when I'd last seen her, but her spirit was strong. She could hold her own in conversation."
Houseful of reminders
In the end, it wasn't diabetes that killed Sanders. It was lung cancer, which was unusual because she didn't smoke. Her left lung had already collapsed entirely when doctors diagnosed her in February. It was probably too late for doctors to save her, so she chose to live her last few months without the pain of chemotherapy or radiation treatment.
Sanders died in the same room of Lawrence Memorial Hospital that legendary women's rights activist Emily Taylor died in a year and-a-half ago.
Crowe said Sanders would have been happy about that. Taylor was exactly the kind of courageous, independent woman Sanders strived to be, in control to the end. On Sunday morning, a neighbor came to the farm and took Glory, the last of the five horses Sanders kept after she got sick. Her 14 cats and three dogs remain. "They still look for her," Crowe said.
People ask him if he's going to sell the house, move closer to campus, move on. After all, he doesn't have the ties to the land that she had.
He grew up in Boston. To Sanders, the place signified the two generations that came before her. But Crowe has ties to the property that are just as strong as hers. To him, the place has taken on another meaning: Nancy.
"My job is taking care of this," he said, and he carried a plant out of the bedroom and watered it, as Nancy would have done.

Another missed chance
This was the week for the Kansas volleyball team to make a statement.
With No. 20 Kansas State and No. 1 Nebraska coming to town, Kansas could have shown the rest of the nation that it was a team to be reckoned with.
But after losing their 21st straight match to the Wildcats, in three games, it doesn't look like the Jayhawks will be turning any heads.
Sure, Kansas could end up stunning Nebraska at home on Saturday, but it's unlikely. The Jayhawks haven't defeated the Cornhuskers in their last 74 tries. Kansas owns only one victory in the series, and that came in 1975.
Volleyball coach Ray Bechard said this was his team's toughest stretch of the year, especially because No. 7 Missouri is up after Nebraska.

'Cats serve 21st loss
BY MATT WILSON

mkwalson STAFF WRITER
The loss of Jana Correa to injury had a huge impact on the Kansas 3-0 loss to No.20 Kansas State Wednesday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The junior outside hitter went down in the first game of the match with a left knee injury. Although coaches would not confirm, senior middle blocker Josi Lima said Correa tore her ACL and would likely miss the remainder of the season. The injury affected the team's ability to match up with the Wildcats on the court.
"It's very difficult to replace a kid like Correa," Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said. "I'm not taking anything away from Kansas State, but that was a difficult time for us to try to persevere."
At the time of the injury, the Jayhawks were trying to weather the Wildcats' storm. On the play she went down on, Correa put an end to a 6-0 Kansas State run with a kill. She landed awkwardly and immediately collapsed to the ground. She was helped to the locker room by trainers and coaches.
Junior opposite hitter Megan
Hill was inserted into the Jayhawks' lineup to replace Correa. She had seen limited action this season before the match. Bechard said he was happy with the way she played, especially when put in such a tough spot.
"I tell Megan every day in practice that you never know when you're going to be called upon." Bechard said. "She gave an excellent effort tonight, and I'm sure she'll be ready for Saturday."
Despite the injury, the Jayhawks momentarily gained emotion. They closed the gap to 25-23, but the Wildcats did not let them get any closer before winning 30-25.
The Jayhawks hung in and held the lead in game two. They lost the advantage for good when the Wildcats reeled off four straight points to take a 15-13 lead midway through the frame. Kansas State went on to win 70-24.
Game three slipped away from the Jayhawks in the middle stages again. The game was tied at nine before the Wildcats ran away with it. Just as they did all night, Kansas State stepped up when it needed to. It quelled a late KU rally and won 30-23 to close out the match.
Kansas State improved to 13-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12
Conference. Kansas dropped to 12-4 and 4-3 in conference play.
The Wildcats have now won 21 straight matches against the Jayhawks. The streak began on Oct. 14, 1995.
The Wildcats out-blocked the Jayhawks 17-7 on the evening, which was key to their victory. Kansas State outside hitter Agata Rezende was a force at the net all night, recording 14 kills to lead all plaques.
Lima and senior outside hitter Paula Caaten led the Jayhawks with nine kills a piece. Caten added 11 digs.
Correa was among the team leaders in several categories. Her 3.60 kills per game were second only to Lima, and she was fourth with a .255 attack percentage.
"I hurt with her," Lima said. "I'm shocked right now. It's a huge loss, but I think Megan is a great player and she will step up for us."
Notes: Senior setter Andi Rozum and Lima were honored before the match. Rozum broke the school record for career assists against Colorado last weekend. Lima became Kansas' all-time leader in kills last week at Texas.

FOOTBALL
Kansas hopes to mend offensive woes
BY RYAN COLIAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Four quarterbacks continue to battle for the starting job against Kansas State Saturday.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he would likely make a decision either tonight or early Friday morning.
Senior Brian Luke has seen the most playing time this season and started the previous three games. He is 60-108 for 678 passing yards this season. He has thrown five touchdowns but also threw five interceptions.
The other three players competing will be junior Adam Barmann, who started the first game of the season, and freshmen Marcus Herford and Kerry Meier.
"I really feel good about those kids," Mangino said. "They have really done a nice job."
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson, who threw the go-ahead touchdown pass against Kansas State last season, is not competing for the job because of injuries, Mangino said.
Mangino said the quarterback play, in previous weeks, has not been strong leading up to games. He said the quarterback consistency in practice needed to translate to consistency on Saturday.
"I think the way the season has gone at that position, it has had some great highs, it has had some real dips in the road," Mangino said. "I think they have come to the realization that the time has come that they have to be the chauffeur of this offense and get it rolling on a consistent basis."
Mangino used three quarterbacks in Saturday's loss to Texas Tech. No quarterback found a groove for the Jayhawks. Luke was unable to move the offense because he threw two interceptions in the game.
The KU offensive line, however appeared unaffected by the quarterback shuffle from last week. Sophomore offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez said the line would have to focus on the game plan regardless
of which quarterback plaved.
"Whatever quarterback lines up behind us, we don't really care," Rodriguez said. "He just has to do his job and we have to do our job."
For the second straight week, Mangino had music blaring during practice to prepare for the difficult environment the offense will deal with on the road.
Stopping quick starts
In three of the first four games, the Jayhawks have allowed a lengthy drive on the first possession of the game. Last week, Texas Tech pushed the ball 80 yards down the field to take a 7-0 lead within 3 minutes and 48 seconds in the first quarter.
Senior safety Rodney Fowler said he was unsure why the team has allowed big drives in the first quarter.
"I don't know if it is nerves, if it is adrenaline or something like that," Fowler said. "We need to get that stopped."
Fowler said it was important to
stop the opposition on its first drive to set the defensive tone early.
After giving up an opening score last week, the defense settled down and allowed just 16 points the rest of the contest.
Not laughing
Kansas State set up to punt last week against Oklahoma deep in its own territory but faced a big problem. No punter was behind center when the ball was snapped. Oklahoma recovered the football for a touchdown and grabbed a 9-0 lead.
Mangino admitted he chuckled when he saw the play, but then he suddenly stopped because he said this situation could easily occur to his lahwacks.
The Jayhawk special teams have been nearly flawless this year, but Mangino talked to special team's coordinator, Clint Bowen, to make sure the Jayhawks stay focused so the Kansas State mistake does not happen to them.

She also swam for the J-Hawks USS team, a yearround competitive swim team.

"In high school all my friends were sleeping in before school," Gnatzig said, "and after school everyone would get to go home right after."
Gnatzig decided to continue swimming because she knew she wanted to swim in college.
The University of Iowa and University of Wisconsin also offered her swimming scholarships, but when Gnatzig visited Kansas, she knew she wanted to be a Jayhawk.
The transition from high school swimming to college swimming was difficult, Gnatzig said, but she had met Coach Clark Campbell at a swimming camp in Minnesota long before he was head coach at Kansas.
"The close team and tradition caught my attention," Gnatzig said. "Plus, eastern Kansas reminds me of Wisconsin."
Both Campbell and Gnatzig started their careers as Jayhawks in the 2002-2003 season, and Gnatzig said that consistency in coaching has improved her swimming.
"Gina has come a long way since her freshman year," Campbell said.
"Freshman year, I wasn't very vocal, I was reserved," Gnatzig said. "I've also learned to give 100 percent every day, which allows better training and consistency."

Golf phenom goes pro before 16th birthday
HONOLULU — Michelle Wie, the Hawaii teen who has been competing against golf's best players since she was in the seventh grade, turned professional Wednesday.
"I'm finally happy to say I'm a pro starting today," Wie said, wearing a pink Nike shirt and high heels that made her look even taller than 6 feet. "The first time I grabbed a golf club, I knew I'd do it for the rest of my life. Some 12 years later, I'm finally turning pro, and I'm so excited."
The splashy announcement was hardly a surprise. It had been reported for weeks that Wie would go pro by her 16th birthday next week.
She has signed endorsement deals with Nike and Sony said to be worth $10 million a year, and her first act as a professional was to give some of it back. Wie pledged $500,000 to the U.S. Golf Hurricane Relief Fund, set up by the major golf organizations.
She made the pro announcement at the Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel, next to the 10th fairway at Waiaila Country Club where, at age 13, she shot 68 in the Sony Open, the lowest score ever by a female competing on the men's tour.
Lest anyone think she was skipping class on this special day. We said she still planned to join her junior class at the private Punahou School in time for "Japanese or drawing, depending on how long this thing lasts."
Still six days away from being able to get her driver's license. We will make her professional debut next week on the LPGA Tour at the Samsung World Championship, an 18-player field at Big horn Golf Club in the California desert. She also will play in the Casio World Open in Japan the week of Thanksgiving, her sixth time competing against men.
Snyder respected for longevity at K-State
BIG 12 FOOTBALL

KANSAN SEHOR SWITCHWRIES
Since 1989, four coaches have led the Kansas football team, and Kansas State coach Bill Snyder has seen them all.
Snyder has coached the Wildcats since 1989. He is in his 17th season, amassing 134 victories during that period. Snyder will look for No. 135 on Saturday, when Kansas travels to Manhattan.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was an assistant under Snyder from 1991 to 1998. Mangino said Snyder helped him become a head coach.
"He taught me not to let any one distract you or take you off course with what you think is best for your program," Manginno said. "Early on, that's really tough. When you take a program that's been down, no one really believes in it."
When Snyder took over the Kansas State program, it was in similar shape to the Kansas program when Mangino took over. In the four seasons before Snyder, Kansas State compiled a 4-40-1 record.
In his first season as head coach, Snyder struggled, and the Wildcats stumbled to a 1-10

record. By his fifth season, Snyder and the Wildcats went 9-2 and won the Copper Bowl.
Snyder has been named coach of the year three times, first in 1991, when Kansas State had its first winning record since 1982.
The amount of time Snyder has been in Manhattan is what makes him special to Kansas State players and fans. Coaching at one school for an extended amount of time is an outgoing trend in college sports.
Snyder has the longest current tenure of any coach in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State football coach Dan McCarney has been with his school for the second-longest time, coaching in his 11th season.
Four coaches in the conference have been with their current teams for three years or less. Snyder said it was not easy to have a long career at one school, and it was something that took a lot of work.
"Persistence is the key to any long coaching career and having coaches around for a long period of time," Snyder said. "The era of the Joe Paternos and Bobby Bowdens, for the most part, is over, as we see more turnover in the coaching profession these days. The money, changing of staff, etc., all figure into the equation, and the days of great longevity seem to be over, though there are some exceptions."

Paterno is in his 40th year as coach at Penn State, and Bowden is in his 30th year as coach at Florida State. Paterno and Bowden have been with their schools longer than any other active coaches in the country.
Snyder is not quite at Paterno or Bowden's status, but his 113 victories since 1993 rank fourth on the active coaches list. Since 1993, Snyder is only 11 victories behind Bowden and has more victories than Paterno.
Snyder said that even with the changing world of college sports, he would not be looking for a job any time soon and still wanted to

Taxing boot camp brings team together
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSMEN INDIAN SPORTSWRIETER
With only two days of boot camp left, the Kansas men's basketball team still has a lot to learn.
Questions remain about who the leader will be, how the freshmen will fit in and how Kansas will fill the scoring gaps left by Wayne Simien, Keith Langford and Aaron Miles. The one thing the players know is that the team is better than it was two weeks ago.
"We're still alive," senior forward Christian Moody said with a grin. "Even though we are sore and we really wouldn't mind a break, everyone still has a smile on their face."
"We are definitely figuring out that this test is good for our team," Moody said. "It is really just about surviving two, three or four workouts a day."
With most of the boot camp behind him and the official start of practice eight days away, Moody said the team's toughness, dedication and work ethic had been tested. Despite hardships throughout the past two weeks — punishments for tardiness, added workouts and resulting sore bodies — Moody said the team would emerge closer and tougher than it had been.
Freshman forward Julian Wright said staying tough was the biggest challenge for the freshmen, who were getting
their first experience of college basketball.
"When you get to this level, everyone is good." Moody said. "So I think they know now how hard they are going to have to work."
Mooody said the freshmen were starting to realize how different college basketball was from high school ball.
Wright said older players such as Moody gave freshmen perspective on the difficulties of college basketball.
"I think just watching the older guys has been a humbling experience for all of us," Wright said. "We just see how hard they work. You can see it on their faces."
With so much expected out of the freshman class, Moody said it was important for the older guys to infuse work ethic into their brains, something Moody said the veteran players had done fairly well.
"They know that everyone has the expectations of Kansas basketball on their back." Moody said.
The team also has been working on chemistry. With so many new, young players, the team wants to make sure everyone is on the same page. Wright said the freshmen were working on chemistry just among themselves.
"It takes time, but we are definitely approaching it the right way," he said. "If Coach gets on one of us, we take it and go with it. We pick each other up when items are rough because we want
to be really team oriented."
Older players such as Moody, senior guard Jeff Hawkins and sophomore Jeremy Case, who took a redshirt last year, have the most experience playing together, but the chemistry of this year's team will largely be determined by the freshmen.
"They definitely have a lot to learn," Moody said of the four freshmen. "But we have a long way to go with what we need to learn as a team."
Moody said freshman guard Brandon Rush was a determined scorer and his mind was always on going to the basket, and freshman guard Mario Chalmers impressed teammates with his passing and ball-handling skills. Freshman guard Micah Downs has natural shooting abilities, Moody said.
"They have all showed certain pluses that can help us so much." Moody said. "But this is definitely a close-knit group because being so young, everyone is so attentive. Everyone knows that they need to learn the things we are talking about."
BASKETBALL NOTES:
Robinson on Top
Freshman forward Julian Wright said sophomore point guard Russell Robinson was the hardest person for him to guard during boot camp.
"Russell is much stronger than all of the other guards," Wright said. "Not just physically, but the way he plays and
attacks the rim."
Gradual Improvement
Wright, who missed most of the summer workouts because of surgery on his left knee, bumped knees with teammates during scrimmage last week. He did not participate in boot camp last Thursday or Friday.
"I bumped knees twice with C.J. and once with Darnell." Wright said. "But the knee is getting better. It is not swollen anymore."
Brand spankin' new
Wednesday, the Jayhawks held boot camp in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time. They had been working out at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center because of renovations to the fieldhouse, which are nearly complete.
The installation of the new maple wood floor was completed earlier this week.
"Maybe because it is so new, you feel like you could just bounce off this thing," senior forward Christian Moody said.
All of the wooden seat-back chairs have been refinished and the benches sanded. The new windows, the final touch, will be replaced this week.
Wednesday, workers hung the new 22-by-20 scoreboard in Allen Fieldhouse from the rafters. A new sound system was installed with the video board.
"It all looks so nice," Moody said. "It sure lives up to how awesome the fieldhouse is."

Padres' Peavy says he can pitch with injury
ST. LOUIS — If the San Diego Padres can get to Game 4 of their NL division series against the St. Louis Cardinals, ace Jake Peavy is optimistic he can pitch again with a broken rib.
"I wouldn't rule it out," Peavy said. "We've got a great medical staff taking a look at all of our options, and I feel like we've got some pretty good options that we can take advantage of."
Peavy said team doctors are considering a numbing injection into the break, on his right side.
Peavy, who led the NL in strikeouts while going 13-7 with a 2.88 ERA, said doctors believe his start in Game 1 worsened a rib injury sustained during the Padres' onfield celebration after clinching the NL West title last week. But he said the doctors do not think he began the game with a broken rib.
Manager Bruce Bochy has slotted Adam Eaton (11-5) for Game 4. Eaton had been the choice for a possible Game 5, but he said that would be determined later.
Bochy said Peavy's injury should not affect the team's mind-set.

Padres battle to the end Despite eight hits in last two innings Cardinals defeat Padres in game one
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals looked every bit like the best team in baseball — even with a shaky ending.
San Diego played as poorly as its record suggests for most of the day. And now, with ace pitcher Jake Peavy out for the postseason with a broken rib, the Padres might be overmatched.
Sanders hit a grand slam and set an NL division series record with six RBIs, Carpenter pitched six scoreless innings before being pulled as a precaution and the Cardinals built a big lead and held off the Padres 8-5 Tuesday in Game 1.
"It's huge." Sanders said. "Let alone getting one RBI in a week, you get six in one day and especially under postseason pressure. It's a great day.
"But it's not over, we've got a long way to go."
Facing a team that won the West despite an 82-80 record, the Cardinals — who led the majors with 100 wins — opened an 8-0 cushion in the fifth inning against Peavy. He pitched with an injury that worsened in the third and was taken to a hospital after lasting only 4 1/3 innings. An MRI showed one broken rib on his right side and the possibility of a second break.
Even without Peavy, the Padres weren't done. They scored once in the seventh, added another run in the eighth and then got right back into it in the ninth. San Diego scored three times and loaded the bases with two outs before closer Jason Isringhausen struck out Ramon Hernandez.
"We're playing a tough team," Sanders said. "As you can see, they fought to the last out."
Against Peavy, Sanders had both of the key hits. His two-run single off the glove of diving first baseman Mark Sweeney put the Cardinals ahead 4-0 in the third, and his grand slam into the left-field seats on a 3-0 fastball chased Peavy in the fifth.
The Padres saw the dominant Carpenter again. He allowed only three singles while benefiting from three double plays from the team that led the maiors.
"Our key is to make him throw pitches and get him out of there," San Diego's Ryan Klesko said. "He pitched himself out of a couple of jams."
Carpenter's biggest battle was with the weather. It was an unseasonably warm 84 degrees at gametime and 86 when he experienced cramping in his right hand while warming up before the seventh. The Cardinals said dehydration caused the problem and took
him out as a precaution.
Carpenter said his fingers started cramping when he put on his batting glove before striking out in the sixth. He also said his hamstrings and calves were cramping.
"It only happened twice," Carpenter said. "But they weren't going to take a chance."
Peavy appeared to be the Padres' best shot at postseason success after going 13-7 with a 2.88 ERA — only five points behind Carpenter — and leading the NL with 216 strikeouts. But he couldn't make it through the fifth his second-shortest outing of the season, and gave up eight runs on eight hits.
The Padres had been planning to pitch Peavy in Game 4 on Sunday in San Diego on regular rest if the series goes that far. Now, the likely starter is Adam Eaton, who had been slotted for Game 5.
The Cardinals got to Peavy immediately. With one out in the first, Edmonds hit his 11th career postseason homer to the opposite field to give St. Louis the lead.
Five straight batters reached safely with one out in the third as the Cardinals scored three more times. The wild pitch that worsened Peavy's injury allowed one run to score and Sanders' infield hit drove in two more.
In the fifth, four straight Cardinals reached with one out.

Edmonds began the rally with a sharp grounder off Peavy's glove, Albert Pujols singled and Larry Walker walked to set up Sanders' grand slam.
The Padres had 13 hits, but eight came in the last two innings.
"I think anytime you're down eight runs and you end up getting the winning run at the plate, I think that shows a lot of character and heart of the club," Bochy said. "They were battling to the end."

Missouri native will compete at Speedway
BY JENNA FRYER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carl Edwards has managed to stay under the radar through the first three Chase for the championship races. That should change for him this weekend when he heads to Kansas Speedway the closest thing to a hometown track for the Missouri native
Edwards is expecting a ton of friends and family to make the two-hour trip from Columbia, Mo., to Kansas for Sunday's race. He went home earlier this week to do as much catching up as he can in an effort to free his schedule at the track and allow him to concentrate on racing.
It's a little surreal for the 26-year-old Edwards, who was scraping by just a few years ago as a substitute teacher while trying to pursue a racing career.
"It's crazy, so many awesome things have happened," Edwards said. "Winning a couple of races, being in the Chase, going for this championship — all of that is just a dream come true and it's really neat to be able to come back home to Missouri and hang out with my friends.
"I guess it reminds me of what things were like just a few years ago and how grateful I am to be in this position."
Edwards is the surprise of the Chase for the championship, a driver few expected to make the 10-race title hunt. But he worked his way in by winning two races this year — his first full season of Cup racing — and heads into Kansas sixth in the standings and only 100 points out of the lead.
It's a far cry from where he was just three or so years ago, when Edwards resorted to placing a personal ad in a trade magazine in hopes of landing a job.
He got picked up by Roush Racing and put in the truck series, where he probably still would be if Jeff Burton had not vacated his Cup seat late last year. With no driver to replace him, Roush surprisingly gave the job to Edwards, who finished 10th in his Cup debut.
Edwards drove the final 13 races of last season, getting acclimated to a Cup car and the No. 99 crew. They opened this year hoping to be competitive, and exceeded their goals by winning at Atlanta in the fourth race of the season.
Chicago routs Boston in playoff opener
CHICAGO — The winning socks came from the White Sox. Now, maybe it's their turn to end a long championship drought.
BY RICK GANO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A. J. Pierzynski homered twice, Paul Konerko, Juan Uribe and even Scott Podsednik also connected, and Chicago scored five times in the first inning Tuesday en route to a 14-2 victory against the World Series champion Red Sox in their playoff opener.
Jose Contreras pitched effectively into the eighth inning, ending Boston's eight-game postseason winning streak that carried the team to its first title in 86 years last season.
The White Sox hope to end a drought that's even longer, dating way back to the days of Shoeless Joe Jackson and their most recent World Series crown in 1917, the last time they won any playoff series at all.
A sign in the stands summed up hopes on the South Side:
year before sweeping St. Louis in the World Series for their first title since 1918.

Game 2 in the best-of-five series is today at U.S. Cellular Field with Chicago's Mark Buehrle facing Boston's David Wells.
Then again, Boston has done fine overcoming October deficits. The Red Sox rallied from 3-0 down to beat the New York Yankees in the AL championship series last
The White Sox got their first playoff victory since 1993 with a stunning display of power.
Pierzynski's three-run homer off Matt Clement capped Chicago's first-inning outburst and sent a raucous, towel-waving crowd of 40,717 into delirium.
"2004: Their Sox. 2005: Our Sox."
Konerko added a solo shot in the third and Uribe a two-run drive to finish Clement in the fourth. Podsdnik, Chicago's speedy lead-off hitter who didn't have a homer all season, hit a three-run shot off Jeremi Gonzalez in the sixth.

Conteras, who was 2-4 with an 11.67 ERA in his career against the Red Sox, allowed eight hits and two runs in 7 2-3 innings in his first playoff start.
Podsednik stole third and after Konerko sent a long drive to left that was foul, he put the White Sox ahead with an RBI grounder to third.
Clement struggled with his control at the outset, hitting Podsednik and Jermaine Dye with pitches.

Infection still affects coach
Big red win
BY JIM SALTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The infection that hospitalized St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz last week involves his heart and is getting worse. Martz said Wednesday.
Martz, 54, expects to miss practice the next two days. Joe Vitt, assistant head coach and linebackers coach, will lead the team in his absence, the Rams said in a statement. Martz was not at Rams Park Wednesday afternoon but was quoted in the statement.

Ed Pfueller/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I have been ill for four or five weeks." Martz said. "Our medical staff is in the process of evaluating a number of diagnostic tests to determine the cause. Dr. (Doug) Pogue suspects a bacterial infection of a heart valve called endocarditis."
A series of blood tests are planned over the next several days to confirm the diagnosis.
Vitt said at practice Wednesday that he expected Martz will be back coaching in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"He's getting better." Vitt said. "We expect to have him back by the weekend."
Bacterial endocarditis is an infection of the heart's inner lining, said Dr. Arthur Labovitz, director of cardiology at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Usually, it affects one of the heart's four valves.
The illness affects 10,000 to 20,000 Americans each year. If the valves are damaged enough, endocarditis can cause strokes, require open heart surgery, and even be fatal, Labovitz said.
If Martz has the illness, he'll need a minimum of six weeks of intravenous antibiotics, though he may be able to take the medicine on an outpatient basis, Labovitz said.
"For whatever reason, bacteria gets on that valve," Labovitz said. "There's an infection somewhere in the body and that germ gets in the blood stream.
"Unfortunately, it's not so easy to cure."
About one in five people with the disease will need valve replacement surgery. But Labovitz said the fact that Martz was still well enough to coach and hold news conference was an indication the disease had likely been caught early, improving his prognosis.
Still, Labovitz suggested that Martz would be advised to "step aside for at least a couple of weeks until the antibiotics take effect and at least get the infection under some control. What you don't want is to get this permanent damage to the valve."
NFL coaches are notorious for their long hours, and Martz is no exception, sometimes sleeping at the office.

Her freshman year, Gnatzig broke the Kansas record in the 200 backstroke and captured the Rookie of the Year award. During the 2003-2004 season, her sophomore year, she broke her own record at the Big 12 Conference Championships meet with a time of 1:59.80. She also recorded the team's best time in the 500 freestyle and swept first place in the event at four dual meets.
Following her junior year, Gnatzig recorded top three times in seven events at Kansas. She still holds the fastest 500 freestyle time a.4:51.31
As Gnatzig enters her senior year she is proud of her accomplishments but has key goals both as captain and swimmer for her last season as a Jayhawk.
"For the last three years, I've had to worry about only myself," Gnatzig said. "Now!
have a role to help everyone else do well."
Gnatzig's ambition this year is to qualify for the NCAA Championship meet. She fell short last year in the 500 freestyle by a little more than a second.
"I think it's a very realistic goal," she said. "It's the fine-tweaking, working on small things that will make the difference."
Gnatzig said she draws her inspiration from her older brother, her parents and her roommate, former KU swimmer Amy Gruber. She said the team and coaching staff also motivate her.
Campbell said he knew that Gnatzig would have a successful finale to her swimming career.
"She's one of those peppy, cheery people who really loves swimming," Campbell said. "She personifies the sport."
Carswell's versatility a weapon for Broncos
NFL
DENVER — The player who could very well have the softest hands on the Denver Broncos wears No. 77.
Edited by Erin Wisdom
He is offensive lineman Dwayne Carswell, who made his living at tight end for his first decade in the league and, even though he's been moved to the interior of Denver's line this year, he currently leads the team in touchdown catches.
He has become Denver's most unlikely star early in the season, a versatile player in an era where specialization is the norm. He can play guard, tackle, tight end and some special teams. And, as everyone now knows, he can still score touchdowns. Including Sunday, he has 15 in 11-plus seasons.

Adding to the difficulty of bouncing back against Nebraska and Missouri is the loss of junior outside hitter Jana Correa.
When she went down during the first game of last night's match, the previously deafening Horejsi Family Athletics Center was dead silent. Without her, even Athletics Director Lew Perkins admitted a comeback was unlikely.
"I thought we came out ready to play. Then we lost Correa," he said. "When you lose one of your best players it's difficult to make the adjustment."
Victories would mean a lot to this Kansas program, because Kansas State and Nebraska are the two Big 12 Conference programs that it most wants to become.
If Kansas fails to win either of its next two games, the question becomes when will Bechard take his team to the next level and knock off his fiercest competition?
Kansas State owns that infamous winning streak that spans over a decade against Kansas, and Nebraska is a volleyball power every year.
After talking with Perkins last night, it certainly seemed like he had complete confidence in Beachard.
"It's not about beating this team or that队," he said. "Ray's got the program going in the right direction. We've got tons of confidence in him and it's only a matter of time before we break out."
Bechard has already made the first step in taking the Kansas volleyball team to that next level. It is coming off back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances and Horejsi has turned into a fun place to watch a volleyball game.
A sellout crowd was in attendance last night, and in terms of sheer decibels, it felt just as loud as Allen Fieldhouse.
"There's a great atmosphere here that very few other schools have," Perkins said. "It's a true volleyball environment. The people here at KU are really getting behind this program."
Still, there's just that special something that Kansas lacks. By looking at both teams last night, you couldn't tell which was better physically. The Jayhawks looked every bit as tall and strong as the Wildcats, but they got swept.
Kansas State had close to 150 fans in attendance last night. There was no official count made, but that was just about as many, if not more, fans than the Kansas football team had follow it to Lubbock, Texas last Saturday.
When was the last time you heard a stat like that?
When was the last time you neared a stat like that?
It's astonishing, but the reason the Wildcats get that support is because they defeat their most competitive opponents. Maybe that's the special something separating Kansas from getting to the next level.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Thursday, Oct. 6, 2005: You gain through your many different talents and assets.
Maximizing your people skills comes into play this year. You have ways of making others feel comfortable. Sometimes, frustration can occur when dealing with others financially. You find that associates and partners have different goals. Agree to disagree. In some cases, you might break your financial ties. You will prosper in either case — don't worry. If you are single, your desirability is clear. The question is, What type of relationship do you want? Then decide with whom you would like to relate. If you are attached, you will need to manage your finances in a way that you both are comfortable with. You will tend to splurge but also make more money. SCORPIO can be very possessive.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Your temper could easily get the best of you, causing you to run around with your tail between your legs. Do what you need to do to not explode, and deal with a situation appropriately. Try as hard as you can to understand a key person. Tonight: Just say yes to another's request.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Take a hint from Aries' message, because you could find yourself in a similar predicament. If dealing with an Aries, watch out; it could be quite a hot exchange. Let others reveal their thoughts. Keep judgments to yourself right now. Tonight: Just don't be alone.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ Focus on each project, conversation or call today. You might find yourself holding back anger. Express yourself in a way that others can hear. You might be surprised by the response you get. Tonight: Consider your negative emotions and how to clear them.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Your imagination clears out problems and difficult people. Though someone might be outright aggressive and difficult, your humor can help you deal with this person. Do not personalize what others are saying. Tonight: Still on a romp.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
**** Anchor in with full knowledge of what is important to you. Communications can run amok, but you can charm your way through any hassle. Telling someone you care should be
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
done in a very personal way. Tonight
Treat someone to some Leo hospitality.
★★★ You might be more vested in a communication or meeting than you realize. Awkwardness merges with a haziness. You cannot be too clear or direct. Sugar goes much further than vinegar. Use your charm. Tonight: Out with a favorite person at a favorite place.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★ Display your innate talents and charm. Money is not the only asset or game in town. You have so much to offer. Start realizing your talents. Someone responds to you big-time. Tonight: Remember what you have to offer.
★★★ Much might be going on behind the scenes, but the truth is, you have a lot of assets. Others respond to your inquiries. Don't allow insecurity to plague you in any way, shape or form. Tonight: You've got what it takes.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You are weighing different elements and might not be sure
CAP RICOH (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
***** You seem to be unsure of which way to go. The obvious fact right now is that you do very well with groups and in meetings. You might want to play it low-key regarding your work. Tonight: Be sensitive to those around you.
which way to go. Be careful with a new friend. This person might not be all that he or she seems to be. Trust your longtime friends. A conflict will resolve itself. Tightly Play it low-key.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22--Jan. 19)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
**** Someone has nothing but praise for you. This person's opinion counts in your world. You might want to spend some time evaluating a situation that involves your community or professional standing. Ask for what you want. Tonight: Maintain your high profile.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★★ Taking an overview will be more helpful than getting locked up in rigid thinking. By being able to extend understanding, and perhaps empathy, you'll gain and will be able to mobilize another's energy. Tonight: Stay positive. Take the high road.

Astros beat Braves 10-5
Houston
21
BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Morgan Ensberg and the Houston Astros showed there's more to this team than just pitching.
Houston Astros pitcher Andy Pettitte throws a pitch during the third inning against the Atlanta Braves during Game 1 of the National League Division Series at Turner Field in Atlanta Wednesday. The Astros won 10-5.
David J. Phillip/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ensberg had five RBI, Andy Pettitte overcame a couple of homers for his record-tying 14th postseason win and the Astros got started on what they hope will be another October conquest of Atlanta, beating the Braves 10-5 in Game 1 of their NL playoff series Wednesday.
The good-pitching, weak-hitting Astros — they led the National League in ERA but ranked 11th in runs — had no trouble scoring on the Braves. Atlanta passed up the chance to start the playoffs with John Smoltz, who came in as the winningest pitcher in postseason history.
Pettit is tied with Smoltz for most postseason wins, improving to 14-8. The Houston left-hander pitched four-hit ball over seven innings — more than good enough the way the Astros were hitting.
Now, Smoltz will start against Roger Clemens in Game 2 on Thursday night.
Craig Biggio, at 59 the main leftover from the Killer B's, was right in the middle of things just about every time the team scored. He had two hits, a sacri
Houston turned a tight game into a blowout with five runs in the eighth against the shaky Braves bullpen.
Still concerned about Smoltz's ailing shoulder, manager Bobby Cox tapped another 14-game winner, Tim Hudson, for the opener. But the right-hander was roughed up for five runs — the most he had allowed since a June 13 loss at Texas, which preceded a stint on the disabled list.
fice fly, a sac bunt and a walk in six trips to the plate.
A year ago, the Astros knocked off Atlanta in the division series for the first post-season victory in franchise history. Pettitte wasn't around for that one, sitting out after a season-ending elbow surgery. He came back to have a dominant season, winning 17 games and posting the second-best ERA in the National League behind Clemens.
Ensberg tied a Houston postseason record with his five RBIs. He had a run-scoring single in the first, a two-run single in the third, another RBI single in the seventh and walked with the bases loaded in the eighth, when the Astros sent 11 batters to the plate against Chris Reitsma, John Foster and Jim Brower.
Houston scored only 13 runs in six regular-season games against the Braves, losing five of those meetings — two by shutout. But those games came early in a season that began miserably for the Astros, who bounced back to capture the wild card.
Atlanta got homers from Andruw Jones and Chipper Jones — usually a formula for success. The Braves went 44-6 when both connected during the regular season.
But this is the postseason, which has provided plenty of misery for a franchise with 14 straight division titles but only one World Series championship during that amazing run.
The Braves went down in the opening round the last three years, each time starting with a Game 1 loss at Turner Field. Now, they're in the hole again.
Atlanta tried to change its playoff fortunes by ditching the normal white home jersey in favor of a red top, which debuted
It didn't work
Hudson got off to a rough start. Biggio singled up the middle on the second pitch of the game, moved to second on a bunt and came home on Ensberg's single to center.
Chipper Jones tied it in the bottom half on an opposite-field homer to right, the Astros reclaimed the lead with two runs in the third. Once again, Biggio got things started — this time with a double — and Ensberg finished up with a two-run single to left.
Pitching coach Leo Mazzone
made a trip to the mound and the Braves got their bullpen throwing, but Hudson escaped further damage by getting Adam Everett to ground out with the bases loaded.
Biggio was at it again in the fourth. Brad Ausmus led off with a double and was bunted to third before the leadoff hitter managed a sacrifice fly to medium center. Andruw Jones had a shot at the slow-running Ausmus, but the throw home sailed way over the head of catcher Johnny Estrada, giving the Astros a 4-1 lead.
Andruw Jones, who ended the season in a 6-of-51 slump.
brought the Braves to 4-3 with a two-run homer in the fourth.
Hudson was actually fortunate that Houston didn't build a bigger lead. He escaped the first-inning jam with a double play, and surprise starter Brian Jordan made a brilliant play in left field in the second to deny Everett a two-run homer.
Jordan, who played only 76 games and was hobbled much of the season by a sore knee, drifted back to the warning track, timed his leap perfectly and caught the ball before his glove slammed into the yellow line atop the wall.
At the end of the inning,
Andruw Jones lingered on the field to pat Jordan on the back. The 38-year-old outfitfer was mobbed by the rest of his teammates when he got to the dug-out.
Notes: Ensberg tied the Houston postseason record of five RBIs set by Carlos Beltran in Game 5 of last year's playoff victory over the Braves. ... The Astros set a division series record with four sacrifice buns.

St Louis Blues goalie Patrick Lalime stops a shot by Detroit Red Wings' Tomas Holmstrom (96) of Sweden during the second period in Detroit yesterday.
Blues ice Red Wings
BY LARRY LAGE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Pavel Datsyuk had a goal and an assist in the first 7 minutes and the Detroit Red Wings went on to beat the St. Louis Blues 5-1 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
The game turned into a rout in the second period when Detroit scored three goals while St. Louis took just three shots, none of which got past Manny Legace, who needed to make a mere 13 saves.
Patrick Lalime allowed four goals on 24 shots before the Blues replaced him with Reinhard Divis midway through the second period.
Robert Lang, Mathieu Schneider, Mikael Samuelsson and Brett Lebda scored for the Red Wings, who still seem to have a lot of talent despite having to
cut their payroll almost in half because of the NHL's $39 million salary cap, a result of the lockout that cost last season.
Eric Brewer had a goal midway through the first period for the Blues, who will be challenged to extend the longest playoff streak in professional sports to 26 straight years after this season because their owners have put the streamlined team on the market.
St. Louis traded star defenseman Chris Pronger to Edmonton, allowed forward Pavol Demitra to leave as a free agent and legendary defenseman Al MacInnis retired.
It didn't take long for Datsyuk to make a return on Detroit's investment in him.
million, 2-year contract.
The one-sided game didn't provide much excitement, but Detroit's Brendan Shanahan did with some feisty play in the third period.
After Keith Tkachuk knocked down Datsyuk and was called for roughing, Shanahan pounced on him and the two were in the middle of a scrum. Shanahan fought skate-to-skate with Jamal Mayers later in the period, sending the crowd into a frenzy.
Notes: Detroit's Steve Yzerman and Chris Osgood did not play because of groin injuries. .. St. Louis was without one of its best defenseman, Barret Jackman, who is out with a separated shoulder. ... Chris Chelios is the oldest player in the NHL — 43 years, 253 days — and the
outside play for the Red Wings.
... Lebda became the first Red
Wing to score in his NHL debut
since Tim Taylor in 1993.
- 43 years, 253 days — and the oldest to play for the Red Wins.
Fans hail hockey's return

In 15 cities around North America on Wednesday night, the NHL was back.
PHILADELPHIA — The Great One made his debut behind the bench, the Next One had his coming out party in New Jersey and the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning finally got the salute they waited more than a year to receive.
Toronto Maple Leafs Mats Sundis is assisted after sustaining an injury during first period NHL action against the Ottawa Senators in Toronto yesterday.
While Wayne Gretzky coached his first game with the Phoenix Coyotes, 18-year-old Sidney Crosby — touted as the player to threaten many of Gretzky's scoring records — laced up his skates when the Pittsburgh Penguins faced the New Jersey Devils.
All in the name of winning back fans after a year lost to the lockout.
"I'm probably as excited as anybody who is dressing and playing in a game tonight," said Gretzky, the holder of 61 NHL records.

The Flyers stretched the series to seven, but never made it back home as they fell to the
From coast to coast, the words "Thank You Fans!" were stenciled into NHL rinks.
"I am so excited for things to be back — last year was horrible," said Amber Turbyne of Waldorf, Md., who attended the Washington Capitals home game against Columbus. "I usually hold a grudge like something awful, but I'm too happy to have hockey back."
A sold-out crowd was dressed in matching T-shirts just as they were 17 months ago for the "Orange Crush" during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Just down the New Jersey Turnpike, it was as though the Philadelphia Flyers never left.
eventual champion Lightning.
"I bleed the orange and black," said fan Brock Kerchner from Mechanicsburg, Pa. "Was I disappointed? Yes! But it's a new season and we've got Cup hopes."
Down in Florida, Lightning fans got to celebrate just as they did over a year ago as the Stanley Cup championship banner was raised — just much later than anyone anticipated.
A 10-minute ceremony commemorated the almost forgotten season that preceded the long laffov.
On display were individual awards given to Lightning
players, including Martin St. Louis' MVP trophy, and the one Brad Richards took home for his starring role in the playoff run.
But nothing could compare to the presentation of the Stanley Cup.
The Lightning still are the rightful owners to the trophy that wasn't awarded in 2005, the first time that happened since a flu outbreak in 1919 canceled the finals.
No other team could bring out the Cup on opening night; but several clubs did unveil their latest trophies — ones they hope will soon make them champions.

Editor's note
When I was an elementary school kid, I had no problems figuring out what I was going to be for Halloween. I was always the same: a witch. Of course I had to have a different kind of
IRENE
witch costume every year. One year I was a magical witch with sparkley black fabric. Another time I was a witch with a green face and a bump on my nose. And still another time I was a witch with
a silver moon and star on my chest. But as I got older, I guess I became more aware of gender stereotypes and when I was in middle school, I decided to be a fairy queen. I wore an ugly, blue, 80's-inspired, prom dress, some glitter and a wand. From there on out, I never attempted the scary costume idea again.
College hit and I was Pocahontus, an angel, a stalk of celery (my boyfriend at the time was peanut butter), and a bottle of mustard (the same boyfriend, was ketchup). Cute. Weird, but cute.
And so it seems choosing a Halloween costume is a personal matter. Do you have a ton of friends? Be a rock band. Is it just you and your honey? Be a taco shell and taco fillings. If you're still pining
over what you're going to be this Halloween, we've got a list of suggestions for you (Page 12). As for me, I'm going back to my roots. I'm taking the plunge. Yeah, that's right. This year — the witch is back.

spice of life
Chilis give flavor to our favorite spicy foods
By Laura Snyder, Jayplay Writer
A flair for fire
Why would anyone subject themselves to this kind of torture? Maybe they're masochists, or more plausibly, they just don't like bland food, like Brandon McAnderson, Lawrence junior, who claims he puts Louisiana brand hot sauce on everything.
As you cautiously bite into a pepper, you first taste only the crisp, rubbery flavor. Then the burn hits you: It starts at your lips and travels to the back of your tongue. Tears splash down your cheeks and your nose drips like a garden hose. Every time you exhale, it feels like you're breathing pure fire.
The heat we taste in spicy foods usually comes from chili peppers. Although chilis originated in Bolivia, they spice up cuisines around the world, including Indian, Mexican, Caribbean, Peruvian, Southeast Asian and Szechwan, says Dave DeWitt, a chili pepper expert and author of over 30 books on chilis and spicy foods.
Another reason people like chili peppers is because of the perceived risk. "Eating chili peppers has been called culinary bungee-jumping," DeWitt says. In the last fifteen years, it's become more apparent that Americans like it hot. In 1991 salsa surpassed ketchup as the number 1 condiment in the U.S., said Danise Coon, program coordinator for the Chili Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University.
America's demand for spice has led to some bizarre concoctions. You will no longer find chilis only in salsa. DeWitt has seen vanilla ice cream dotted with fiery, berry-sized chiltepin peppers. Cowgirl Chocolates makes chocolate truffles with ground-up chili powder in them, and several brewing companies, including Cave Creek in Arizona, make chili beers with a pepper in the bottom of the bottle.
Anatomy of a chill pepper There are hundreds of varieties of
6 | Jayplay 10.06.05
chilis because the plants cross-pollinate so easily, DeWitt says. However, the ones you will most commonly find at the grocery store are jalapeños, cayennes, anchos, and poblanos.
The hottest part of the chili isn't the seeds, as many believe, but the membranes. They contain capsaicin, an alkaloid that makes the pepper hot. Different varieties of chilis have different levels of heat, even within the same kind of pepper. The environment that each pepper grows in determines the heat level for that particular pepper. "You never know how hot a particular pepper is going to be until you bite into it," says DeWitt.
You can get a general idea for how hot a certain type of pepper will be by its Scoville rating. The Scoville Scale is used to measure the degree of heat in different chills. The higher the number of Scoville Units, the hotter the pepper. The poblano, a milder pepper, prepared by stuffing with meat and cheese, has a heat level of 1,000 to 1,500 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). A jalapeño, considered to have only a medium heat level, can be 2,500 to 10,000 SHU. The hottest pepper in the world, the habanero, which can actually blister the skin, can be from 80,000 to 577,000 SHU.
Eat your chilis
Chilis have surprising health benefits as well. According to Coon, one fresh green chili pod has as much vitamin C as six oranges and a single teaspoon of dried red chili powder provides your daily requirements of vitamin A. Chilis are also high in antioxidants and have few calories. They have recently been linked to a mild increase in metabolism at the Oxford Polytechnic Institute in England.
Chillis can also be used for pain relief. They can be applied topically to provide relief from arthritis and sunburn. Before antibiotics were invented, people used chilis to cauterize open wounds, but DeWitt does not recommend this because the capsaicin is so powerful it may
burn.
You can buy fresh chili peppers at the grocery store, although a wide variety may not be available. Canned peppers can be substituted for fresh peppers in recipes, although the pungency is not same. Or, you can grow yourself. It's really not tomatoes, hot
quite the same. Or, you can grow chili peppers yourself. It's really not much harder than growing tomatoes, says DeWitt. They can be grown in the ground or in pots. Besides water, fertilizer, and sun, they require littles care Chili pepper seeds can be ordered online.
Use chilis to spice up anything, especially bland foods. But be conservative when adding them to a dish, DeWitt cautions. "Always add less than the instructions tell you, and then taste it as it's cooking. Once you get the dish too hot, it's hard to remove the heat," he says.
If you decide to experiment with some
pep
pers, have
milk or yogurt on hand.
Dairy helps soothe the burn, DeWitt says, and the thicker the dairy product, the better it works.
So be brave and sample some chilis. You don't have chomp down on a whole pepper, but try adding diced peppers to your favorite dishes for some kick. Start with a milder pepper like an ancho or serrano and work your way up. You'll never be satisfied with bland food again.
Green chill stew
- 1 ½ pounds lean pork, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
- Vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 quart pork or chicken broth
- 6 to 8 green New Mexico chills, roasted,
peeled and cut into thin strips
- 2 small tomatoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, Mexican preferred
- Salt to taste
In a heavy skillet, brown the pork over medium to medium-high heat, adding a little oil if needed. When the pork is browned, transfer it to a large stockpot. Add the onions and some more oil to the same skillet and until the onions turn a golden brown,
5 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the mixture to the pot with the pork.
Add 2 cups of broth to the skillet, raise the heat, and deglaze the skillet, being sure to scrape all the bits and pieces from the sides and bottom. Pour the broth over the pork in the stockpot.
Add the remaining ingredients to the stockpot, bring it to just below boiling, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 to $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ hours, or until the meat is very tender and starts to fall apart.
Yield:4 servings
Heat Scale: Medium

Pizza is a food we equate with college. But Katie Palm's job has taken the 'za out of her collegiate regimen. Apparently slinging pies at Old Chicago has left her slightly disheartened when it comes to the doughy, cheesy, greasy staple we all love so much.
The 20-year-old Shoreview, Minn., native and KU junior has worked at Lawrence's

Her favorite item on Old Chicago's beer and pizza laden menu? The oriental chicken salad, of course.

Hunting hauntings
Discovering some of Lawrence's most spine-chilling sites By Katy Humpert Jayplay writer
Spooky sites in Lawrence
Haskell Indian Nations University:
Former Sigma Nu house,
Haskell's campus is said to include a few haunted locations, like the auditorium, where some say a spirit can be seen watching the stage, or The Bell Tower, from where some say they feel as though someone is watching them while walking past. At the small cemetery south of Taminend Hall, one can allegedly hear sick children crying.
5
1501 Sigma Nu Place:
Legend has it that "Virginia," a mistress of a former governor, lived there and either committed suicide in the house or was killed.
Her spirit purportedly has been sighted by former fraternity members and a previous housemother.
Lawrence Community Theatre,
1501 New Hampshire St.: Formerly a church, some claim the theatre has a mysterious presence causing lights to malfunction and set pieces to move seemingly on its own.
Source: www.theshadowlands.net/places
It's late at night. Annie Werner, Topeka freshman, is sitting in a fourthfloor dorm room in Corbin Hall with her friend, enjoying a quiet night at home. Suddenly, the door mysteriously slams shut. Werner investigates, only to find an empty hallway. During the night, the door rapidly closes four different times with no apparent cause. With each slamming of the door, she and her friend's hearts race a little faster and fears begin to mount. They hope it is just a draft but begin wondering if maybe the cause is something paranormal.
For Werner, these sorts of incidents occur often on Corbin's fourth floor. While the idea of a hall "ghost" may simply be a joke, the town of Lawrence is home to many urban legends regarding mysterious events. From the Eldridge Hotel to Haskell Indian Nations University, it's undeniable that Lawrence residents love to pass on stories of ghosts and strange happenings.
Room 506, please
The Eidridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts, was constructed on a foundation much older than the current building. The first structure, the Free State Hotel, was erected in 1855. Within 10 years, pro-slavery forces had twice burnt down the building, including once during Quantrill's famous raid of Lawrence, which resulted in the death of more than 140 men.
With this dark past, it's no surprise that the hotel now boasts a reputation of being haunted, complete with mysterious door movements, peculiar music and ghostly apparitions.
Ryan Kehr, rooms division manager at the hotel, says the legend of the haunting has drawn ghost hunters to the hotel for years. Tales center on the fifth floor, a spot where the elevator doors often used to open sporadically. Room 506 is of particular interest. He says the cornerstone in this room was part of the original building burned down during Quantrill's raid and is a possible explanation for the strange activity. He says housekeepers would often complain about hearing old-time music with no apparent source and lights turning on and off.
Thomas Morefield, St. Louis graduate student and former employee of The Eldridge, says he had some weird encounters during his employment, including a guest fireplace switching on by itself. Morefield says these events could probably be explained rationally, but still admits that it's kind of creepy.
The hotel does have evidence of its paranormal guest. It keeps a photo behind the front desk taken in 1990 of a ghostly figure in the elevator after the doors inexplicably opened on the first floor.
Phantom of Rhode Island street The McAllister House, 724 Rhode Island St., is supposedly another one of Lawrence's haunted locations. Tony Peterson owns the more than 145-year-old house and says the haunting is very real and very spooky.
Jayplay 10.06.05
Peterson says he began researching the history of his house and discovered that an elderly woman died from smoke inhalation during a fire in the 1960s. He invited Gil Bavel, a local paranormal investigator, to examine his haunting. Bavel discovered nothing unusual during his investigation besides the strange smell of smoke. He planned to write about the house in his upcoming book, Kansas Ghosts.
Put away your Ouija board
If you suspect a haunting, Becky Ray, a paranormal activity investigator, recommends researching as much as possible. She says to first begin learning the story or legend behind the haunting and then trying to discover its historic merit. Stories of ghosts often turn out to be urban legends, she says, so this aspect of the research is very important.
Peterson first noticed a paranormal presence months after he bought the house in 1993 when he says he heard soft footsteps pacing back and forth in the front bedroom. Upon investigation, he found nothing out of the ordinary. Similar events continued over the years, he says, like crashing noises upstairs and the sighting of an old woman in his peripheral vision.
If you find that the story has basis in reality, she says many ways exist to contact the spiritual world. And, no, conducting a séance with an Ouija board doesn't qualify as research. Ray says electronic voice phenomena (EVP) is one popular way to investigate. This includes using any kind of voice recorder with a microphone and trying to capture voices as you address the ghost. She also says video recorders and cameras could be useful as well.
Don't freak out, but...
8
While this may or may not be an explanation for the bizarre occurrences in the hall, I think I'll be steering clear of that area, at least during the nighttime hours.
I used Ray's advice and did some of my own research on the Corbin "ghost". Surprisingly, the fourth floor has a dark history. According to a Lawrence Journal-World article, a Dallas freshman died after falling from a fourth floor window in Corbin in 1994.
In the end, whether the stories are fact or just made up to explain away weird events, strange things beyond comprehension have been said to occur. As Morefield, the Eldridge hotel employee, says "All I know is that those things happen and I can't explain why."
Above all, she emphasizes that there is no set way to investigate ghosts. She says you should experiment with different media until you find one that works for you.

Down the aisle before the hill
By Chris Moore, Jayplay writer
Renee and Anthony didn't have a huge wedding. Their parents weren't even at the ceremony. Their wedding photographer was just a person who was lucky enough to have a camera with them. After leaving the courthouse ceremony, they took everyone out for coffee. Their parents found out about the marriage thanks to a drunken call from a friend at a New Year's Eve party.
By choosing to say "I do," while still trying to get a degree and a job of choice, students have the added responsibilities of a spouse in their life.
Paul-Anthony Whaley, Manhattan freshman, and Renee Whaley, Olathe junior, decided to get married before they graduated. Being out of school wasn't a major factor in their decision.
"We wanted to get married while we were in college," Renee says. "It makes us financially independent from our parents for financial aid. We get more money from our government."
Dr. John Wade, licensed counseling psychologist and outreach coordinator at Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) says there is no universal reason why students decide to get married while still in school. "Each couple has their own story in why it seems like the right thing to do," he says. He says a small percentage of students are getting married.
Todd Cohen, associate director for University Relations, says married students are on the decline. In 2003, there were 962 registered married couples on campus, just 3.5 percent of the student population. In 2004, it dropped to 799 about 3 percent.
Murkv waters
Wade says couples at CAPS face a variety of problems, whether in their marriage or as students at the University.
"Within the couples I see here, issues vary," Wade says. "Some more common issues are dealing with stress as a couple. Being married and going to school is obviously a source of stress."
Wade also counsels students who plan to get married as well. While major concerns aren't present at the time, seeking pre-marital counseling is a way to address issues the couple has about career goals, finances, dealing with inlaws and child care.
Anthony thinks birth control is an important issue to discuss before marriage. Renee agrees. "Let's not make babies yet," says Renee.
Mario Antoine, Anthony senior, and Hannah Aldritt, Harper junior, are engaged right now and plan to wed next September before they graduate.
Antoine and Aldritt say they give each other motivation to go to class each morning. Antoine says it's much easier.
er to skip class when he doesn't have someone next to him nudging him to go to class. He says when the two start living together, they'll have their own schedules and priorities to consider.
Whenever a couple has problems, Wade says both sides should talk to each other and analyze the issue carefully. Marriage is all about cooperation.
"If you're on the fence," he says, "look at the reason you are on the fence."
Help from Uncle Sam
Renee says marriage has been a huge financial responsibility.
"Lawrence is a hard place because we are both young and there are not a lot of jobs for us. That adds more stress to the relationship. I wish we could move somewhere else and have the jobs we want." she says.
The United States government is willing to lend a helping hand to students who tie the knot. According to the 1040A Tax Form of 2005, a student can deduct up to $4,000 for qualified tuition and fees if his or her adjusted gross income (AGI) is no more than $130,000 (if married and filing jointly). Married students can deduct up to $2,000 if their AGI is higher than the limit, and more than
House and to hold
The University of Kansas has accommodations for married couples. Stouffer-Place Apartments are eligible only to married students and students with children. Eric Grospitch, assistant director for residence life, says he gets 40 to 50 applications annually. Students who apply have to provide documentation and contracts of either parental or marital status.
Andrea Ash, Salt Lake City doctoral student, and resident of Stouffer-Place, has been married for 10 years and likes living at Stouffer-Place with her husband.
Renee and Anthony say they are happy together and while they do face problems from time to time, they say they don't let it get to them.
Marriage statistics
Married couples at the University of Kansas have been on a steady decline since the early '80s. Here are the numbers of registered married students on campus since 1985.

Haddad, then a sophomore, had honked at a woman who had pulled out in front of her, gaining the attention of the guy in the car one lane over. The guy, Ryan Courtney, Lawrence resident, applauded her road rage. The two drove slowly next to each other and Haddad asked him if he was 21. Courtney shouted back that he wasn't, so Haddad drove on in her quest. But as they pulled up next to each other at the next stop light, he asked if she wanted some beer and said he could call a friend to get some. They pulled into a parking lot, where he got her number, and "the rest is history." Haddad says.
As Sherene Haddad, Lee Summit, Mo., senior, drove down Iowa St. in Lawrence two years ago, she was looking for someone to buy her beer. But what she found was true love.

I just started a long distance relationship and I am known to be quite a party animal. What are some precautions I can take so that I respect the fact that I am in a relationship without hiding in my apartment every night? -Trisha, Junior
Brian: If you really want to pursue this relationship, but you also want to say very close to Jack Daniels, then you'll need to explain things to your far-away boyfriend. Make sure he knows what you do when you tend to get a little crazy on the weekends. I'm sure he somewhat knows how you are and he'll respect that. As for what you should do, get a buddy when you go out at nights. Tell him or her to watch you, to let you get crazy, but to make sure you don't go over the top. Don't be bogged down by wondering if your boyfriend is going to be offended by what you do. As much as he deserves to have a faithful girlfriend, you deserve to be yourself. Maintain your identity, but at the same time, stay true to your boyfriend. He's
Jessica: Brian's advice is superb, especially the buddy system and cluing him into your weekly shit-faced shenannigans. I say live your life the way you're most comfortable while moving the relationship up on your list of priorities. Relationships, especially "LDRs", are hard work, so don't let the adage "out of sight, out of mind" get the best of you. Keep yourself busy, but make sure you schedule trips to be together. Maybe upgrade your cell phone plans, too. It seems like this out-of-reach stud means a lot to you if you're willing to change your reputation to be with him. If you work at it, I'm sure it'll be worth it.
worth it.
?
When I have sex with my girlfriend, I think about her having sex with my friends. Is this just something little, or am I a pervert? - Andrew, Sophomore
Brian: Seems to me as though you are very strange Andrew. Most guys don't like it when their girlfriends flirt with other guys, yet you think about her being with other people. There is definitely something bizarre there. The first thing you might want to consider is that you might not be fantasizing about her with other guys, but about the other guys. If you really don't think that's the case, then try a few things while you're in the sack. Keep your eyes on her and her body. Constantly touch her to remind
yourself of where you are. Tell her to scream your name to keep the attention on you. Anything you can do to keep your mind off the other guys. If none of that does anything, consider working your lisp and look into colleges in San Francisco.
Jessica: Said in my best British accent: You nosty wankal Take a cold shower and rinse those filthy thoughts from your sick mind. I don't really think you're a perv, Andrew, but I do think you have some kinky, imaginative fantasies. I'm just glad you're not dreaming about her doing kitty cats or something worse (think large mammals). Would you go so far as to want these fantasies played out in actuality? Probably not. Your fantasy isn't harming anyone, so I think it's kosher. Weird, but kosher. Maybe include yourself in the fantasy next time?
?
Whenever I tell my boyfriend "I love you" lately, he never says it back. He said it once a few weeks ago and now I'm worried. What's going on? - Alyssa, Freshman
Jessica: Alyssa, relax. You're placing too much of an emphasis on words and not on actions. Does he treat you right? Do you feel loved despite the absence of those three little words? I think you can definitely overuse "I love you" to the point where it loses its flavor. Make sure that you mean it when you say it and you're not just probing for an insincere, regurgitated line. If you just need more verbal reassurance, let him know that a balanced combination of words and actions works best for you.The trick to all this is being secure enough within yourself that you don't even need to hear "I love your's" at every opportunity, just when the moment strikes.
Brian: I love you. There, did you feel that, the romance bulging from my words, the love lingering in the air? No, you did not. So what, your boyfriend said "I love you" to you once? For all you know he was just saying it to you because he messed up big time. Maybe, for just a fluttering second, he really did feel love for you. Or he might have just said it to see what kind of a reaction he would get from you. Seeing how he hasn't said it since a few weeks ago, you should realize that when he said it initially, it didn't mean as much as you thought it did. Don't try to force him to repeat those words. Let him take his time and pace himself. For him, your relationship is a marathon, not a sprint. He needs to be able to take it easy for a while, then allow him to give it his all once he's ready. It will serve you better in the long-run.

QA AND
with The Frames By Tyler McNally, Jayplay Contributor
Acclaimed Irish band, The Frames have kicked off a lengthy U.S. tour to promote the international release of their most recent of seven full-length albums, Burn the Maps. Given the geographical limitations and college budget (not including international phone calls), my only opportunity to catch up with the band before the tour was an email interview with bassist, Joseph Doyle.
Q: What is your favorite aspect of touring in the good of' U.S. of A.?
Joseph Doyle: Cheeseburgers.
Q: How does touring in Europe or Australia generally compare to touring in the States for you?
JD: It's enjoyable waking up in a different country to a different language with different food and a very different culture every day when touring Europe. It's strange that when you spend so long driving around America, you can wake up in a different city but generally on a whole it remains the same.
Q: Do you prefer playing a larger venue with the possibility of a larger crowd or a smaller venue with a much more intimate setting and interaction with the fans?
JD: I enjoy both. Obviously the smaller venue allows you to be a bit more adventurous and challenge people a bit more and bring the crowd closer and have really good rappor with the audience. But having said that, walking out on stage to 15,000+ people is instant atmosphere as well and one could get very used to playing to lots of people, especially indoors where all the energy is kept inside.
Q: Burn the Maps is getting some fantastic reviews. Does that put a ton more pressure on you for the next album to be just as critically acclaimed?
JD: No, not at all. I don't think we've felt any pressure when it comes to making records at all. At least not with the last two records. If there ever is, then the pressure comes from within; to do a song justice by writing it well or playing it even better and progress in-step with each other.
THE FUTURE IS NOW.
Q: Do you feel like international acclaim has been long coming or right on time in relation to where your career is as a band?
JD: We're a slow burner on a long road. Previous to Burn the Maps, none of our records ever really got a proper release abroad, so it's a step in the right direction. Of course, it's very enjoyable to travel abroad and play to people who genuinely like your music.
Q: Which album are you most proud of as a band? Does one stick out as being more complete or closer to exactly what you envisioned?
JD: For the Birds is the one that turned out mostly as we'd planned. Dance the Devil turned out least like we planned and Burn the Maps is somewhere in the middle in my opinion. But having recently listened to those records (which is unusual for me). I have to say I enjoyed and was proud of them.
Q: How are you coping as a band in the digital age that facilitates illegal downloading?
JD: Very well, thank you.
Q: Occasionally, just occasionally, there is some good stuff circulating on the radio here, but sometimes it's rare and hard to find. As an experienced international band, how do you approach entrance into an American market which right now is inundated with artists like Gwen Stefani, 50 Cent, and Toby Keith?
JD: To be honest, they don't really even register on our radar. We don't see ourselves really in direct competition with any of them...or anyone for that matter really.
Q: Burn the Maps was released internationally in February. Are you working on a new album now or have plans to get into the studio soon after the tour?
JD: We have just finished on a new batch of songs that we're all very excited and enthusiastic about them. We can't wait to get into the studio and start to record them because I think we're going to have a really strong cohesiveness and potentially my most favorite record yet. Studio
MUSIC BY
time is now booked for February/March 2006 when the touring and other commitments stop.
Q: You are both Irish and in a rock band — the envy of so many Americans, myself included (those of us with any Irish lineage at all, no matter how pure, seem to hold onto it for dear life). Any advice for aspiring American-Irish wannabe rockers?
JD: Yeah it's nice growing up in a culture where music plays a huge part in the fabric of life, but we all draw from our own cultures in different ways and I'm sure it's just as relevant coming from the U.S.A. as it is to come from Ireland.
Q: What are you listening to right now?
JD: Arcade Fire, same as everybody else.
Q: Your lead singer Glen Hansard's guitar was stolen while touring in Prague. I have diabetes and my insulin was stolen from
me in Prague. So...what's the deal with Prague? But seriously, any other horrid touring stories that have kept you wary on the road?
JD: Evidently there are a lot of diabetic guitar playing thieves in Prague, huh? Of course we do have touring stories — usually involving exploding buses, extreme weather, gun wielding promoters, alcohol — all the usual stuff you come across day-to-day touring.
Don't miss The Frames this Saturday night at the Granada. Exploding buses, extreme weather, gun wielding promoters and alcohol are bound to be a good time. Josh Ritter is set to open. Doors open at 9 p.m.

Lawrence wine nights and dinners give students a chance to branch out into the wonderful world of wine.
The waiter brings over a bottle and shows you the label. He pours you just a taste of the wine. He waits until you drink it, so you sip trying to look like you know what
you are doing, but you really don't. He looks at you eagerly, so you give him a nod. He starts pouring for

True, beer has different types resulting in many varieties with different flavors, but the medley of different wines is like a country compared to a beer's meadow. Beer tastes like beer.

A case of beer costs at most $20.
A bottle of wine can range anywhere from seven dollars to $100. So it's easy to see the appeal of beer over wine. Even out at the bars, wine costs tend to match the import bottles or sometimes higher. But instead of settling for that Bud Light, wine's taste

says drinking wine really just depends on your mood.
"I had a large dinner and flavor aside, wine is very relaxing. It is not as filling and is great with food."
Kieffe says.
Could wine save your life?
It is an age-old fact that red wine is good for your heart. Around 450 B.C. Hippocrates recommended wine to cure fevers and disinfect wounds. Now studies are out to prove just how good wine can be for you. According to www.nutrition.com, a Danish study determined what is called the "French paradox." The researchers found that on average, the French eat 30 percent more fat than Americans (all that cheese). But the French have lower cholesterol than

Americans and have 40 percent fewer heart attacks. The researchers found that the moderate and daily consumption of red wine was the difference in the two country's lifestyles. According to www. winepros.org, studies have shown that a moderate consumption of red wine may prevent heart disease and forms of cancer. The chemicals in wine work as antioxidants, which prevent cells from being damaged. Also grapes used for

The restaurant chooses three different wines and customers can come in and try the wines and enjoy free snacks for $15. Nicole Lauderdale, manager of Teller's, says she thinks it's a great way to educate customers about the different types of wine.

Hit the town
In the light of the film Sideways and the jaded Lawrence thirst, there are plenty of places that offer an alternative to the usual beer and cocktail bar scene. Wine nights, wine tastings and occasional wine dinners can bring a little class to your Friday or Saturday night. Quinton's Bar and Deli have wine nights every first and third Thursday of the month. Manager Greg Mann says it gives people the opportunity to dress up and do something unusual for the night. Quintons' wine nights offer a taste of five wines — some red, some white — and a glass of your favorite, all for $10. Henry's on Eighth also offers wine tastings, usually on a monthly basis. Teller's also recently started offering wine nights starting every Wednesday.
wine tasting every Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The restaurant chooses four to five wines, united by a common characteristic be it a type of grape or region. For anywhere from $15 to $25, you can sample all the wines and enjoy Pachamama's appetizers and atmosphere.
No reservations are required. Manager Conrad Ostrand says a Pachamaa's wine tasting is a great way to start your Friday night. Pachamama's and Teller's also host wine dinners. The chef plans a five-to-seven course meal around a certain type of wine. Save this for a special occasion; the cost at both places is anywhere from $50 to $100 depending on the food and wine served. Paisano's Ristorante also has monthly wine specials. So with all these options, students have ample opportunity to take a break from beer and get out there and try some vino.
Wine list decoded
Next time the waiter appears, eyeing you with suspicion, you will know how to handle yourself. Don't fear wine; embrace it in all its complex and diversified glory. Wine will help you stay classy, Lawrence.

QA AND
with Free All Beats
Free All Beats performs at a Sudan Benefit at Liberty Hall earlier this year. Photo by Joe Cable.
Among Lawrence's numerous bands and musicians, Free All Beats stands out amongst the pack. Their abstract, experimental free jazz is a type of music that bassist Patrick Hangauer says few try to attempt. The trio formed in Lawrence two and a half years ago and have since gained a large local audience, as well as a new Kansas City fan base after a recent mention in an article from The Pitch.
McCoy: Well, Tyler and I met about three or four years ago through KJHK and we
Q: So how did you guys first begin playing together?
As I sat at a booth upstairs at the Eighth Street Taproom, two members of the trio Free All Beats, upright bassist Patrick "Pockets" Hangauer and drummer Curtis "Candlepants" McCoy, joined me to sit and talk about their music, the local music scene and their plans for world domination. The third member of their band, keyboardist Tyler "Bone" Larson, meanwhile, was spinning downstairs between sets of the infamous rock n' roll cheerleader Nathan Brown, of which they are all huge fans. Throughout the interview they both pause every so often between thoughts and listen to the screaming electronic beats and shouts coming from the packed show downstairs, making it apparent their minds are fixed on several musical genres.
hit it off immediately. It was love at first sight. We started playing music together and things really started coming together when Patrick joined us. Our first show was at the former Paradise Café about two and a half years ago.
Q: What are some of your musical influences?
Hangauer: Sun Ra, John Coltrane
McCoy: All kinds of indigenous world music, folk music, hip-hop. We really are influenced by so many different kinds of music.
Hangauer: Yeah, I am really into whale sounds and bird calls and shit like that. I also have to mention Raffi as well as early Sesame Street.
Q: How would you describe the music you make?
Hangauer: For starters it's not gay music.
McCoy: We play auto-fisio-psychic music. It is minimal beat free jazz. We like to do more with less. There really are no rules with the music we make.
Hangauer: We have plans for world domination. We are tired of only playing in one city. Then we don't like the idea of playing in one country. We are going to set ourselves up as being entirely international. We try to teach people what they haven't heard before is what they really
want to hear.
Q: You incorporate some interesting instruments/electronics into your live sets. What do you typically play?
Hangauer: Well, Tyler plays two Casio keyboards through wa-wa peddles and he has a lot of different buttons which give all kinds of effects. Curtis plays live drums with a combination of electric drum pads. And I play a bowed upright bass.
Q: I have noticed that you have quite an elaborate stage setup including art and visuals, who can take credit for that?
Hangauer: Our friend Kyle likes to experiment with different video projections. We really should do more but since we are so improvisational, we never really know where we are going with our sets.
(McCoy leaves to watch the remainder of the Nathan Brown show as Larson sits down)
Q: You played weekly here at the Taproom in September, I was wondering why you suddenly had decided to play more often than in the past?
and more experimental. We also have many guests perform with us.
Larson: We really make each set unique and different by performing with these guests.
Q: Who are some of these guests that have performed with you?
Hangauer: Josh Powers, Left E. Grove, EMC. We have enjoyed working with hip-hop artists. We feel that we are putting the jazz and blues back in hip-hop.
Hangauer: Well, we are constantly trying to push ourselves. We want to keep things fresh. We have no set lists and we never play the same thing twice. Each time we play, the sets get tighter, more abstract
Q: Have you been recording in the studio recently or have you been mainly focused on your live performances?
Hangauer: We have plans to get in the studio as soon as possible. We have been recording our live performances on a 4-track recorder off of one mic. We hope to release a compilation of our live performances as well as stuff we have done in the studio.
Q: Any more upcoming shows?
Hangauer: Well, I think we are going to take a break for a while and get more organized. After recording we plan to play more outside of Lawrence.

Ruffalo is absolutely delightful and truly shines throughout the film, grounding it in honest heartache with grace, charm and sincerity.

RISE OF THE IMPERFECTS
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects Gameplay PS2 Xbox
Gamecube, PS2, Xbox
I was surprised when I tried out Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. When I first heard out the game, I was expecting a somewhat traditional fighting game. But when I began to play it, it was completely different. It's really more of an action game with some bits of one-on-one fighting built in.
An alien force has come to Earth and have been taking out the superheroes. (It has a cool scene of Captain America getting blasted and even the Hulk being smashed by the remains of a building.) Now all the Marvel Heroes are trying their best to stop the alien threat and during their fights, a faction of super-powered beings called The Imperfects are trying to stop them.
The one-on-one fights were not what I expected, but they kept me entertained. The battle takes place in a free-roaming arena, so players can use objects like cars and mailboxes to deal additional damage to their opponents.

The game is pretty decent. However, when I expected one thing and got another, I was left asking, "Why did they do it this way?"

It's no surprise if you haven't heard of The Frames — it's just unfortunate. You probably didn't hear about Nick Drake either, until he became a soundtrack favorite well after his career came and went. But Nick Drake is dead,The Frames are not. In fact, they are very much alive and their most recent release proves it. This Irish band's first album, Fitzcarraldo, was released 10 years ago, followed by five albums that fell through the cracks of the American radar until now.
Burn the Maps is the band's 2005
worldwide release that should give a deserving band past-due international respect. After listening to Maps without first giving their previous albums a try, it won't surprise you to find out they have so many notches on their belt. They have a well-developed, comforting sound, containing brilliant depth and
layering. With themes ranging from existential ones to the classic girl-breaksheart, the 12 tracks have a wide variety
of tempo and feel.
THE FRANCE
WITH THE WORLD
"Dream Awake" is the album's all-star track containing a tidal wave of sound, crashing into a serene eye-closing, head-bobbing response. Lead singer Glen Hansard's somber Irish voice perfectly matches most of the songs' darker tones. A few songs, like the powerful "Underglass," are even reminiscent of the Pixies' "Doolittle." The album ends on a subtle and lovely note with "Suffer in Silence" and "Locusts," wisely letting the listener down softly to contemplate
the emotional state of the album.
I can't explain why The Frames have eluded us in the States until now. It's unfortunate because previous albums like For the Birds and Dance the Devil are also appealing in their own right. Burn the Maps is with a beautiful album as soothing and comfortable as a favorite book
that leaves you wanting more.

The one-on-one fights were not what I expected, but they kept me entertained. The battle takes place in a free-roaming arena, so players can use objects like cars and mailboxes to deal additional damage to their opponents.
The game is pretty decent. However, when I expected one thing and got another, I was left asking, "Why did they do it this way?"

Burn the Maps
The Frames
what I gained.

wever anoth- / do it
It's no surprise if you haven't heard of The Frames — it's just unfortunate. You probably didn't hear about Nick Drake either, until he became a soundtrack favorite well after his career came and went. But Nick Drake is dead, The Frames are not. In fact, they are very much alive and their most recent release proves it. This Irish band's first album, Fitzcarraldo, was released 10 years ago, followed by five albums that fell through the cracks of the American radar until now.
Burn the Maps is the band's 2005
worldwide release that should give a deserving band past-due international respect. After listening to Maps without first giving their previous albums a try, it won't surprise you to find out they have so many notches on their belt. They have a well-developed, comforting sound, containing brilliant depth and
layering. With themes ranging from existential tones to the classic girl-breaksheart, the 12 tracks have a wide variety

of tempo and feel.
"Dream Awake" is the album's all-star track containing a tidal wave of sound, crashing into a serene eye-closing, head-bobbing response. Lead singer Glen Hansard's somber Irish voice perfectly matches most of the songs' darker tones. A few songs, like the powerful "Underglass", are even reminiscent of the Pixies' "Doolittle." The album ends on a subtle and lovely note with "Suffer in Silence" and "Locusts," wisely letting the listener down softly to contemplate
the emotional state of the album.
I can't explain why The Frames have eluded us in the States until now. It's unfortunate because previous albums like For the Birds and Dance the Devil are also appealing in their own right. Burn the Maps is with a beautiful album as soothing and comfortable as a favorite book
that leaves you wanting more.

Time Well Wasted Brad Paisley
☆☆1/2
Time Well Wasted opens with "The World," a super-slick, country-pode ode of devotion to Paisley's girl. "To the
world, you may be just another girl, but to me, baby, you are the world." It's supposed to be reassuring that, hey, maybe no one else gives a flip - but I do. And that's about as deep as he's going. It's the same point restated, only in different words, in songs like "Waitin' on a Woman," "Love is Never Ending" and "She's Everything,"

TIME WELL WASTED
on 2003's Mud on the Tires). This time around, the formula is tired. Sure, the instrumentation is clean, crisp, and
in which he compares his woman to a "Saturn with a sun-roof." When he isn't lovin' up on some woman, he's trying to get one back ("I'll Take You Back," "Flowers"). And when there are no women around, Paisley's affection turns to parking lots ("Out in the Parking Lot").
It's all comical lyrics and cutesy oneliners, only not as cute as before (as
slightly countrified, the hooks polished to radioplay perfection, and Paisley's pure, behaved tenor hits all the right notes. But we've heard this already.
The non-stop radio play of lead single "Alcohol" has revealed a shared trait between the song and its namesake — after having too much you'll
be sicker than a dog. At best, the whole album is like a night of heavy drinking - it's all fun and games until someone pukes their guts out.

Burnout Legends PSP
PSP
☆ ☆ ☆
I love causing a $100,000 worth of damage because I've been driving recklessly faster than 200 miles per hour. I can't help it, it's a weakness. Thankfully, I can indulge at any time and at any place now that Burnout Legends has arrived. Anyone familiar with the Burnout series will feel right at home playing Legends, since this isn't truly a new game as much as a compilation or greatest hits collection.
The sense of speed and danger is still present on this version. Races can go awry pretty quickly if you're not careful, especially since you're driving through freeways and tracks with oncoming motorists who just don't know how to get out of the way.The crash mode is just as much fun as the console versions.The PSP's screen does a nice job of showcasing the destruction you can cause with one car and the right attitude.
If you're sick of the lack of quality games on the PSP, pick this one up. It's not really an original game, but I'd rather have a good game that I might have seen in some form before than an original game that sucks. It's available for $49.99.

BOOK
Beyond Belief
By Deborah Lipstadt
Free Press, $20
Available in Paperback
1/2
I'm leery of labeling books as "important." Usually such books are self-indulgent and pompous far more than they
make any real political statements. Deborah Lipstadt's book is not one of these. In all honesty, it is quite possibly one of the most critical books any of us will ever read.
This non-fiction piece details the response of the American media to the Holocaust. It is a common, grave misconception that the atrocities of the Nazis were not discovered in full until the concentration camps were liberated towards the end of World War II. Lipstadt presents evidence
was happening (and what would happen) to European Jewry as early as 1933, and especially in 1935 when the

that the press - and by extension, the newspaper-loving FDR - knew what
Nuremburg Laws were passed (similar to our own Jim Crow laws).
Lipstadt traces the roots of American journalists stationed in Berlin in the early 1930s, who wrote articles of warning that were killed by editors and thus unseen by the American public. It is outrageous to see that such respected publications like the Christian Science Monitor, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, hell, even the New York Times praised Hitler in editorials, only to
jump ship on him when his true intentions became clear. The historical anal-
sis continues on past the 1936 Olympics, into the actual war and finally ends when the heinous damage had been done.
Beyond Belief, more than anything, stresses both the need for a responsible press corps and the need of the public and government to trust its press corps. The idea that "it can't possibly be that bad" didn't cut it then and it shouldn't cut it now. Racial cleansing and genocide didn't begin or ed with the Nazis, but Lipstadt challenges us to ask ourselves if we would allow such acts when we're privy to the grim details.
Being unable to see Lipstadt speak here a few weeks ago, I promptly picked up her book. If an aware American citizen doesn't finish it outraged, I would be shocked. At the very least, it should be required reading in at least some journalism, political science and history courses. At the most, it should be required reading for everyone, a painful and tragic lesson about the price of skepticism.

I'm gonna party like it's 1999!
Illustration by Greg Griesenauer
Well ... maybe not
So I am going out tonight and I'm gonna get hammered. I'm talking about balls to the wall bloody drunk. I'll start out with a shot of tequila to get things
rolling. Then, we'll go one shot every 10 minutes for two hours. I'm going to wear a hot little number that barely holds my boobs, a mini skirt and a pair of black boots that come up past my knees. Yeah...Right. Like that will happen. There's no chance in the world because I am a goody-two-shoes.
Meghan Miller Jayplay writer
Since I can remember, I have always done what I was
told. I went to bed when I was supposed to, I did my homework, I never missed school and I never stayed out late. I just assumed that listening to your parents was something that every kid did because, like eating your vegetables, it was good for you. In high school, I played three sports and was in jazz band. Every day after school, I had practice to go to. This was my social life.
P
As I navigated through freshman year of high school, I realized that there was
a whole world out there I didn't know about. There were parties to go to, (boy, my mom would have flipped if I had gone to a party with no adult chaper-
ones) cigarettes to smoke, beers to bong and classes to skip. Yeah, that's what rebels did. This was my chance to live on the edge.
But I never did any of these things. Every time I even thought about doing something slightly risky, a little angel popped up on my shoulder and said "Meghan, would your parents approve of what you're doing? Someone could get hurt doing this and then you'd feel really bad." Damn that angel. She was always holding me back. My friends asked me once to go out to a movie during the week; but God forbid I should stay up past nine on a school night. College has been no better. I can't even remember the last time I went out dancing all night or exceeded the speed limit. Getting drunk and letting go is just a fantasy. I have to have the world record for the number of times I've been
to a bar sober. My friends don't even ask me anymore whether or not I want to go out because they know I'll say no.
I have been drunk once in my life; on my 21st birthday. My birthday was on Saturday, but we went out Friday so we could be at the bar the moment I turned legal at 12 a.m. I got completely smashed. By midnight, I couldn't even remember how many shots I had. I do remember puking. I was given a shot of tequila for my first "official" 21-year-old drink. I knew that would make me yarf, so I planted myself right by the trash can, took the shot and tossed my cookies over the side. After that, I was ready for another round. Apparently this is called "puke and rally." I had a fun-filled night of uncontrollable dancing and an attempt from a random guy to kiss me. That didn't work out though because good girls don't just kiss random guys. After the bar, I made my way home and fell asleep. I woke up twice to hurl. It was so golden yellow, I could have resold it to the tequila company. I couldn't go to the basketball game that day because loud noises hurt my head and I had a tough time keeping my burning
eyes open. Never doing that again.
I am content with my position as the goody-two-shoes. My friends always know there will be someone to pick them up after their nightly escapades. And yeah, sometimes they give me a hard time about it, but in the end, they always tell me how much they appreciate a safe, sober ride home. I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't wake up hung over. I always remember the stupid shit that all my friends do while they're drunk. I don't have to worry about saying or doing something I might regret. I know my friends are safe. I know that I am never going to call my parents in the middle of the night from the ER because I got hit in the head with a bottle at a bar. My friends know they're in a safe environment because I never do anything that could get us killed. And if I did get us killed, I have a list of emergency numbers to contact, extra money in case we needed fast cash and I always notify someone of our whereabouts in case everything does not go as planned. Yup, you can count on it.

"Stories are used in a daily way," said novelist Salman Rushdie, while addressing 1,800 people at the Lied Center Thursday. "It's a method that people experience their own reality." Rushdie, who spoke as part of the Hall Center for the Humanities Lecture Series, talked about a variety of topics from President Bush to his opinion on the book, "The DiVinci Code."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A writer's job in today's world is to constantly push the boundaries. Renowned author Salman Rushdie has done so in his writing and received a death sentence in 1989 from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini for his book "The Satanic Verses," which was deemed sacrilegious.
Rushdie, who spoke to a crowd of 1,800 people Thursday night at the Lied Center as part of the Hall Center for the Humanities lecture series, described his book as "largely a comic novel" and found the debate difficult to justify.
"You could describe what happened as a battle over people with a sense of humor and people without one," Rushdie said.
He said he had always wanted to write on the edge between funny and not funny. Rushdie said conflict emerged when those who wanted to push the boundaries met opposition from those who wanted to retain the status quo. This produced issues of infringement on freedom of speech.
"You don't bother to think about free speech when everybody has it," Rushdie said.
This clashing of ideals often emerged from the debate between rationalists and religious fanatics, Rushdie said.
He described himself as "mercifully free of religion" and went on to comment about the evolution debate in Kansas, saying that as a result of his upbringing he had never had doubts about the evolution theory.
"I gather there are some parts of Kansas where the Big Bang Theory did not take place," Rushdie said.
Despite his personal beliefs, Rushdie said he often considered Hindu mythology and Islam when writing because of his Indian roots. There are an estimated 300 million deities incorporated into Indian culture, and Rushdie said that it was a large population to discredit, imaginary or not.
"There are all kinds of things that don't exist, like George Bush's brain," Rushdie said jokingly.
On a more serious note, he said he was concerned about the move of religion into the public sphere.
"I think it's a pretty bad time for those of us who believe that superstition should not rule the world," Rushdie said.
The power of religion can do harm, he said, and no single religion was to blame because there were great disputes even within religions — not just between them.

Shulenburger announced on

Choosing the new provost will be a complicated process, Aube said. The committee will have to work diligently and efficiently to recruit candidates and review applications in time to hire a candidate by July 2006, when the new provost will start work.
"We'll have to roll up our sleeves and get right to it," he said.

Traffic unit swells Lawrence's city funds
BY STEVE LYNN
slynn@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lawrence's traffic unit contributed to a 23 percent increase in city revenue — primarily from traffic tickets — from January to June 2005, compared to last year. A $10 fee added to municipal court costs since September 2004 also contributed to the increase, said Vicki Stanwix, Lawrence Municipal Court manager. Michael Kingsley, Chicago senior, has contributed to the increased revenue. Kingsley received two speeding tickets in Lawrence totaling $310, nearly two years ago.
Lawrence's budget has had an infusion of cash from some unwitting sources: lawbreakers.
City officials said the increased number of tickets issued by the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant between 2004 and 2005 contributed to an increase in the city's revenue and traffic safety.
"As a college student, it's not great," Kingsley said.
City officials said the increased number of tickets issued by the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit — which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant — between 2004 and 2005 contributed to an increase in the city's revenue and traffic safety.
According to a 2004 annual report written by Stanwix, city rev
enue increased almost 9 percent, or $218,667, from 2003 to 2004. Officers issued 5,681 more traffic tickets in 2004 than 2005, the report states. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said the city had a traffic unit 20 years ago when the city was far less populated.
A $2.2 million federal grant allowed the city to form a new traffic unit in October 2002, he said.
Sgt. Randy Roberts of the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provided the grant.
"City Hall was getting calls about people speeding, and patrol was so overwhelmed with calls that we formed the traffic unit," Roberts said. "People wanted it."
The traffic unit also takes calls from residents who complain about traffic violations in their neighborhoods, Roberts said.
In addition to issuing traffic tickets, federal law requires the department to conduct a number of checkpoints because the city received federal funds for the traffic unit.

Traffic unit swells Lawrence's city funds
BY STEVE LYNN

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
Lawrence's traffic unit contributed to a 23 percent increase in city revenue — primarily from traffic tickets — from January to June 2005, compared to last year. A $10 fee added to municipal court costs since September 2004 also contributed to the increase, said Vicki Stanwix, Lawrence Municipal Court manager. Michael Kingsey, Chicago senior, has contributed to the increased revenue. Kingsley received two speeding tickets in Lawrence totaling $710, nearly two years ago.
Lawrence's budget has had an infusion of cash from some unwitting sources: lawbreakers.
City officials said the increased number of tickets issued by the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant between 2004 and 2005 contributed to an increase in the city's revenue and traffic safety.
"As a college student, it's not great." Kingsley said.
City officials said the increased number of tickets issued by the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit — which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant — between 2004 and 2005 contributed to an increase in the city's revenue and traffic safety.
According to a 2004 annual report written by Stanwix, city rev
enue increased almost 9 percent,
or $218,667, from 2003 to 2004.
Officers issued 5,681 more traffic tickets in 2004 than 2003, the report states. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said the city had a traffic unit 20 years ago when the city was far less populated.
A $2.2 million federal grant allowed the city to form a new traffic unit in October 2002, he said.
Sgt. Randy Roberts of the Lawrence Police Department's traffic unit said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provided the grant.
"City Hall was getting calls about people speeding, and patrol was so overwhelmed with calls that we formed the traffic unit." Roberts said. "People wanted it."
The traffic unit also takes calls from residents who complain about traffic violations in their neighborhoods, Roberts said.
Today's weather
In addition to issuing traffic tickets, federal law requires the department to conduct a number of checkpoints because the city received federal funds for the traffic unit.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY MARK VIERTHALER

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Take a break from the usual party and drinking scene of Lawrence and check out one of the most recent art shows to open up in town
The Olive Gallery and Art Supply 15 E.8th St., will feature art influenced by the horror movie genre, and more specifically, zombie movies. The exhibit will be open until Oct. 26. Three local printmakers, Adam Jeffers, Patrick Giroux and Rachel James are featured in the show.
The Olive Gallery and Art Supply is owned by two University of Kansas students and a doctor and artist from Halstead
Contributed Art
THE TOROON
Titled "The Walking Undead: 2 Legit 2 Quit," the show focuses on the gory and cheesy. The works are primarily inspired by the 1960s B-horror movie legacy.
*Controversial Art*
Zombie + Ghosts (Tango) by patrick Giroux
rotund, bespectacled, middle-aged claims adjuster, wielding a deadly scythe.
The best way to describe the show is morbid with a dark sense of humor. Each work focuses on the re-animated dead, and each has a bit of cheek.
Jeffers' work includes a comic panel and a trilogy of portraits. The panel is a 1950s-style horror comic, and the portraits are of two zombies and a terrified woman.
Another tongue-in-cheek work by Jeffers is "Dad Rides a Pale Horse," a play on the classic image of death riding the remains of his skeletal steed. The cadaverous horse is there in all its emaciated glory. But replacing the classic image of the hooded horseman is a
Giroux's work plays with the idea of conflicting emotions by placing the undead mingling with adorable ghosts. Also in his series of zombie works, Giroux has three photos with ghostly
images painted across the likenesses of horrified friends. Each photo has been enhanced by "comic-strip style" dots, inspired by Andy Warhol's work of the 1970s
Of the artists featured, James' etchings are the most
morbid of the bunch.Her largest work features the semi-color, semi-black and white depiction of a young girl playing with bloody bones.
A wolf-like animal is next to the girl James' two smaller works feature simple drawings of the same wolf creature featured in the larger work.
Although there are only 15 pieces currently on display, this is definitely worth a look. Whether it's to get you in the mood for Halloween, or simply to satisfy a morbid obsession with reanimated flesh, it's impressive to see this kind of local talent.
Prints and T-shirts of Giroux's work are available for purchase, along with all originals that are on display.

Dean announces resignation
BY MATT WILSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
ADMINISTRATION
Another top University of Kansas administrator has announced her resignation.
The dean of libraries, Stella Bentley, announced Thursday that she would retire at the end of June 2006. The University plans to conduct a national search to hire a new dean before Bentley leaves.
Denise Stephens, vice provost for information services, said the University would form a search committee sometime within the next two weeks in hopes of having its pick of the best candidates available.
Stephens also said the University would try to fill the position early enough for Bentley to help with the transition process.
Bentley, who has held her po
sition since 2001, said she was ready to pursue goals for which she had not previously had time. She said she was interested in volunteer work. She also said she was proud of what KU Libraries had accomplished during her time in Lawrence.
"I think we've made a huge amount of progress," Bentley said. "We really increased the amount of information available to the campus community."
Stephens said she was impressed with what Bentley had been able to accomplish during her short time at the University.
"She has been able to make a lot of significant improvements to the system and the facilities at a time when university libraries across the country were struggling with budgets and other restrictions," Stephens said.
David Shulenburger, provost and executive vice chancellor, said in a press release that Bentley's work had provided an opportunity for the libraries to succeed even after she left.
One of Bentley's accomplishments during her tenure was to digitally revolutionize the libraries.
She oversaw the installation of wireless Internet at all library locations on campus and the addition of more than 200 computer workstations and laptop computers.
Bentley said the building of a storage facility was one of the most important steps taken toward improving the library facilities on campus. It allowed the space in the libraries to be used to benefit students in other ways, she said.
Bentley came to the University after serving as the dean of
libraries at Auburn University in Auburn, Ala. She has spent more than 20 years in university library work.
"I was very excited at the chance to work at a university with a reputation like KU," Bentley said. "It was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up."
After four years at the University, Bentley said it was time for a change.
"I'm ready to move on and do other things with my life now," Bentley said.
Bentley said her main concern for the future of the libraries was the physical facilities. She said that great progress had been made to spruce them up but that more work was necessary in order to bring the libraries up to date.

HOUSING
Center's new Web site to take fear out of the housing hunt
BY LOUISE MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Aaron Hood moved into a two-bedroom apartment and is now looking for a roommate to fill the extra space. The Kansas City, Mo., junior, is still exhausting all the traditional search methods, but by next semester placing a classified ad may no longer be part of the search.
Recent funding to the Off-Campus Living Resource Center is allowing the organization to create a Web site that will help students
find apartments and roommates. The site will also help familiarize students with legal problems they could potentially encounter by signing a lease.
Hood said a site like this would make his search for a roommate much easier.
"You could be more specified in what you want," he said.
The center's site has been under construction since last May when Student Senate off-campus representatives advocated a site that could help students in the hunt for housing.
Jessica Mortinger, Hays junior
and off-campus chair, said the group had plans for organizing the site into different pages that will focus on different resources. Students will be able to locate apartments, check convenience to bus routes and access information that will help in finding the ideal roommate.
Mortinger said students normally found apartments in the classified ads where bigger companies could afford more advertisements
She said she wanted to give smaller companies an equal opportunity to reach students and ensure that students didn't think
big companies were the only option.
The center also wants to prevent legal problems between students and landlords. To do this, the site will include evaluations by students of landlords they've dealt with.
Michele Kessler, attorney and associate director for Legal Services for Students, said students and landlords most commonly were involved in disputes over security deposits, damages and maintenance.
She said by increasing awareness of the options out there and of what students could expect from landlords before contracts
were signed, potential disputes could be prevented.
Emily Black, McPherson senior and off-campus co-chair, said the project was a way to increase awareness of the center.
She said the Web site would increase student awareness of the resources the office has to offer.
Ouest
The group has big plans and members hope they can come to life. Mortinger said.
"We have big dreams. We hope to open a lot of doors to students." she said.

Aube said the improvements made the position a very attractive one to applicants. Aube said that he thought there was a lot of interest in this position and that he hoped for and expected to receive a lot of applications.
Nick Sterner, student body president and search committee member, said the committee would discuss the process of finding and hiring the new provost during the first meeting.

er, student body president and search committee member, said the committee would discuss the process of finding and hiring the new provost during the first meeting. Sterner is the only student on the search committee.
He said he would have liked to have seen more of a student voice on the committee, but he understood that a large search committee would make the process less efficient.
"I just hope the committee takes into consideration student opinion, which I think they will," Sterner said.

Spring class times to allow for more sleep
The Office of the University Registrar released next semester's timetable of classes Thursday.
Online enrollment appointments begin Oct. 21 on the Enroll & Pay Web portal, which can be accessed from www.ku.edu.
Classes will be held at new times. Classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will begin at the top of the hour instead of at the half-hour, and classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays will last 75 minutes instead of 80.
7:30 a.m. classes will move to 8 a.m., giving students an extra half-hour of sleep, and 4:30 p.m. classes will move to 4 p.m.

Classes moved after elevator breaks down
The elevator in Strong Hall will be out of service for at least a month. It broke down Wednesday.
Steve Green, associate director of facilities operations, estimated that the elevator controls were 40 years old. It will be four or five weeks before a replacement for the broken part can be installed, he said.
Melissa Manning, associate director of disability resources, said classes in the building that had students with mobility problems were moved to handicapped-accessible rooms.
A makeshift wooden ramp was constructed Thursday behind the building to give people with disabilities access to the first floor.

The KU Symphony Orchestra will perform its first concert of the 2005-2006 year tonight. This season marks the orchestra's 101st Anniversary.

Ensemble to begin season

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The KU Symphony Orchestra will start its 2005-2006 concert season with a performance at 7:30 tonight in the Lied Center.
In preparation for the performance, students such as Jesse Henkensiefken, Topeka second-year graduate student, play at least six hours a week, not including the numerous hours they spend practicing in their spare time.
"This is a big deal, so we spend an absurd amount of time practicing for it," he said. "And then we drink afterward."
Despite all of the hard work and effort, Nicholas Uljanov, director of Orchestral Activities and conductor of the symphony orchestra, said the orchestra continued to struggle to attract younger people.
KU Symphony Orchestra to give initial performance
"There is a university in Germany that is much, much smaller than the University of Kansas, but its music hall, which holds 2,000 people, is full with students every week," Uljanov said. "I want that kind of enthusiasm here."
The Lied Center holds nearly 2,000.
Uljanov came to the University two years ago with 17 years experience as a conductor. He said he was already proud of the students because of their dedication to working hard for the performance.
"Unlike professional musicians, these students have not played together for many years, and any of this music before, so it takes a lot of work to get
the performance right," Uljanov said. "But they have taken up the challenge and practiced many hours. It has certainly paid off."
Henkensiefken agreed that playing an orchestral piece with college students made the performance especially difficult.
"There's always people coming and going. The longest you might have a full orchestra together is three years," he said. "Sometimes this can create a strenuous environment."
The orchestra will begin the night with the "Overture of the School for Scandal" by Samuel Barber, a 20th century American composer of classical music. Barber's work has been described as light and full of color
and brilliance.
Scott Watson, professor of music who teaches euphonium and tuba, is the featured soloist for the evening. He will perform George Frederick Handel's "Concerto No. 3 in G Minor" on the tuba. Watson acknowledged that most may not think of the tuba as a solo instrument.
Watson said people didn't realize the tuba was a mellow instrument, unlike what people were used to hearing in a large outside ensemble. "There is an elegant side to it where it can be beautiful and resonant. It's uniquely unusual in a good wav." he said.
The concert will end with a performance of Dmitiri Shostakovich's "Symphony No. 5 in D Minor."
The orchestra will have two more performances at the Lied Center this year, one on Nov. 3 and the other on Feb.28,2006.

LOS ANGELES — With a popular TV series, a clothing line, an upcoming film and a debut CD, its been suggested that Sara Paxton could be crowding Hilary Duff for the title of pop culture teen queen.
DAMN! HOW THE HECK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SCORE A TOUCHDOWN WHEN OUR GUYS ARE FALLIN' ALL OVER THE PLACE?!
SQUIRREL, YOU'RE WATCHING HOCKEY.
But Paxton is too busy to concern herself with such who's-in-and-who's-out speculation. Back in her hometown recently to shoot a video for her album, the perky 17-year-old is trying to figure out how to balance a senior year of high school in Los Angeles with her Canadian-based TV show, "Darcy's Wild Life." The show airs at 6:30 p.m. Mondays on the Discovery Kids cable channel.

She's casually dressed in a gray pullover shirt, blue jeans and open-toed shoes as she sits for an interview in her publicist's office. Also present are "Darcy" creator Stan Rogow and Paxton's father, Steve.
She could be wearing something from her new "Darcy's" line of casual Western wear — "if I could fit into it," she says, sounding just mildly exasperated.
The clothes are being marketed for preteen and younger teenage girls, who make up the core of Paxton's fan base.

Friday, Oct. 7, 2005:
Often, you might want to explore and question what is going on around you. Do so, and take nothing and no one for granted. Sometimes co-workers or associates surprise you. For your well-being, you need to learn how to handle tension and how to change this year. You could be stressed out often. Accept new technology and don't fight it. If you are single, you could be gooey-eyed over someone before you know it. Realize that you might not be seeing the whole of this person. A romance might be very special. If you are attached, your first child could play an important role in your year. Also learn to communicate on an even deeper level with each other. SAGIT-TARIUS is always cheerful with you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for

TAUROUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Others look at you much

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
***** Your ability to relax will help many relate to you. Unfortunately, you might have to respond to someone who is quite unpredictable. You can do it. Take the high road. Understand this person better. Tonight: You might have too many invitations to sort through. Poor you.
★★★ News could jolt you. Be a troubleshooter, a solution-finder. Your creativity and imagination can bounce over a problem. An associate, friend or partner strongly supports you. He or she can be quite imaginative too. Tonight: Ease out of work slowly.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
******* You wake on the right side of the bed, ready for today and the oncoming weekend. A partner or associate could do the unexpected.
especially with funds. Remember, this could be good too. Flow. Tonight: Love the moment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ You have a way with people that draws in much more of what you want. You might need to make the first move, especially with an unpredictable co-worker or associate. You can find solutions. Trust yourself. Tonight: Out and about.
★★★ Knowing when to retreat and when not to dominate or push a project could be important. Avoid any risks right now, financial or emotional. You could have a backfire. Stay within the playing field you know. Tonight: Decide how much you have to spend first.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★★★ Though the cards are in your hands, you might feel a bit

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ Knowing when to vanish might be critical to your well-being. A friend means well, though somehow might be party to some unexpected news or events. Know that this too will pass. Ignore what is going on. Tonight: Follow a financial hunch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★★★ Friends play a huge role in the Water Bearer's life, and today is no exception. You find that you need to be careful with how far you stretch your finances. Find more creative and dynamic ways to enjoy your pals. Tonight: Where the party is.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ You tend to create uproar wherever you go, whether it is intentional or not. Recognize the impact of this behavior on you in the long run. Others make judgments. Problems could ensue with a boss or someone you need to please. Tonight: Don't count on being in early.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Casting call: one audience ready for great show
PAGE 7A
Does anyone remember what happened to those three people who got snowed in at that cabin in Alabama a few years back? Or do you remember what a nerd the young Hugh Hefner was? Or how about the blind guy who poisoned that stripper and buried her in his back yard? No, probably not.
English Alternative Theatre, known to many as EAT, has been around for fifteen years now. To date, they've performed more than 100 productions and 50 staged readings, focusing primarily on original scripts by KU students. That fact alone is incredible.
The climate for original student-written scripts in American universities is bleak. Most student playwrights consider themselves
lucky to have their script read, while EAT, which is spearheaded by English professor Paul Stephen Lim, not only reads them but actually produces them. The opportunities provided to KU student playwrights are unparalleled.
I should know. I've received two productions already, the second of which, The Holocaust Kid, is playing at the Lawrence Arts Center this weekend.
Money is poured into these original scripts; there's set design, rehearsal space, costumes and countless other details.
All of the elements of a great theatrical experience are present, with one very notable exception, the audience.
Granted, EAT does sell seats
to some loyal patrons, but many students and faculty simply ignore the work being done by the company.
In The Holocaust Kid alone, there is a director, a stage manager, a costume designer, a set designer, a producer; not to mention five actors who have spent every night for months toiling over their scripts, learning their blocking, studying crash courses in boxing and developing their characters, but few will ever know this.
Stop anyone on campus and ask them how far the KU men's basketball team got in the NCAA tournament last year, or the what the football team's current record is, and 95 percent of them will know.
Then ask that same person how many KU playwrights have taken their work to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and watch for a blank stare.

Well, the answer is five, and it all started with EAT. Stop them next week and ask where Jack (the boxer from my play) disappeared to last fall when he was supposed to start his freshman year at Yale and, well, you get the idea.
Is theatre as exciting as college basketball? No, it isn't. But would the KU vs. Mizzou game be exciting if the stands were empty? The audience makes the difference. The actors feed off of the gasps, the whispers, the laughter.
This weekend, there are two adjudicators coming in to watch our two one-acts, the other being Edward Albee's Zoo Story.
They will decide on the success and future of the shows, whether they will advance to regional competition and then to the national festival. If these two adjudicators hear crickets when they should be hearing enthusiastic applause for the great performances, then it's curtains for us.
I'm not asking people to come for me. My dream, to have a cast and crew make my words come alive on stage, has been realized.
Come for your fellow KU students who make these shows happen. The same students who deserve support, applause and the same chance to advance in competition that the Jayhawks have every year.

Mom was right. Drugs are bad.
I'm stuck in an elevator in Lewis Hall.
It's not like we didn't make the cut. It's more like you're a poindexter and your daddy paid the frat president to make you cool.
Why is it that every girl driving a Jeep is really hot? Good job growing up, ladies.

Am I the only person who thinks the opinion page sucks this year?
Mike Jones once beat Bill Braskey in a rib-eating contest.
If you are the girl whose boob I licked at
The Wheel the other night, I'm sorry.
Sometimes the beauty of this world is so overwhelming that I just want to gargle. Gargle and gargle and gargle and gargle because I am beautiful.
True or False: My fraternity brother said he'd never drink on a weekday again. Guess what he's doing right now. The answer is false.
I'd just like to thank my roommate for bringing over those two guys last night, because I had sex with one of them. You rule, Megan!
Yeah, I heard it was great. I only live 5 steps across the hall from you.
Free for All, you should hook up with Mrs. E's.
Then we can complain about Eric Jorgensen and the bad food all at the same time.
Kanye West hates white people.
Hey, Big Jay is already down and he's lost two in a row. Why'd you stop voting?

can't get you a hot guy... because you won't
give us... booty. Yeah-tay! Yeah!
I love candy necklaces.
When you see a guy with a pink iPod, just kiss him.
I was going to call in about a week ago, and see if you guys would put in a cryptoquip, but you guys did it already, so thanks and keep putting that in.
I love panties!
So I'm bringing the greek directory to the bars so all you girls who give me fake numbers, I can totally call you out on it right then and there!
Free for All, will you come tuck me in?
Who knows? You might get lucky.
Hello, Free for All! I'm extremely bored.
Do you think we should give Jimmie John's?
I live in the dorms, but I can't find any drug dealers, maybe I should join a sorority!
Do you know what the going rate for a sorority friend is now a days?
It's okay. If you knew my life, it's okay. What's okay?
Don't let the Rhombus House fad die!
A message to all of you boys and girls using handicap stickers illegally. Pond scum is a higher form of life than you. You are truly the lowest of love. May karm find you and deal with you swiftly.
Is it wrong that she's a pirate and I'm kind of attracted to it? Because she has the best booty around!
I'm really drunk right now, and I love chicken pot pies. Chicken pot pies! Chicken pot pies!
Guys are like pora-potties. They're either full of it, or taken already.

You know, honestly, I've always liked the Free for All. It's my favorite part of the paper. And yet, it's never gotten me laid. I'm lonely.
Strangely enough, the Free for All and the UDK has gotten me laid. And besides that cronyism is good. I'll tell you why. I don' know why. But, I'm drunk. I'm out!
Honestly, my friend has never gotten laid by the Free for All. The truth is, he's a virgin.
Just tell your mom you spent $1200 on an ounce of weed because you were stoned. She'll understand.
The Free for All is for losers!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Easy to criticize, hard to understand
I begin this editorial by expressing my extreme disappointment in Mr. Stowell and Mr. Soukup for not researching their opinions before publishing them.
I will attempt to correct the erroneous statements that have been made, as well as offer the opinion of someone who was actually in New Orleans.
First, I will address the idea of taxation to fix New Orleans.
The President has stated that he has no plans to increase taxes in order to help rebuild the Gulf Coast, instead, he has proposed spending cuts in areas which include the Army Corps of Engineers and Medicaid, as well as $6.1 million in tax breaks to help Gulf Coast businesses resume their daily work.
I am aware that the increase of taxes is not the president's decision, but that of Congress. I am confident in the accuracy of the opinion of Jeb Hensarling who stated in the Washington Post, "We do not have to raise taxes."
Now that we have that taken care of, I would like to bring notice to the fact that many things Mr. Stowell said in his editorial on Monday, were incorrect. Indeed, a position was taken on the levee system before the disaster. In the late 1960's, after Hurricane Camille devastated New Orleans, the federal government joined up with the state and local governments to form a task force to improve the system.
After a flood in 1995, the local governments also joined the Army Corps of Engineers to form SELA (the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project). Shortly afterward, $430 million was allocated to shoring levees and building pumping stations and another $50 million was given to local aid.
Funding began to dry up in 2003 and $250 million worth of
projects were left unfinished.
In 2004, SELA was given only 10.4 million dollars, down sharply from the 36.5 million it had previously received, this was barely enough to cover contractor's salaries. In 2005, Pres. Bush allocated a mere 3.9 million dollars to complete a project that was designed to strengthen the barriers between Lake Ponchatrain and the city. Twenty million dollars was needed. For the record, the levees themselves never failed.
Levees are earthen walls built up along the banks of the river and the lake, they've been there since the 1700s. The failure was in the canals, floodwalls designed to re-route water around the city. It was common knowledge within the city and within SELA that these canals needed fixing.
I am starting over, but I have what is most important to me,my friends,my family and my city, as decimated as it
may be.
How dare you, Mr. Stowell, suggest that New Orleans have to pay for the creation and repair of our levees when the federal government, specifically the Army Corps of Engineers, was responsible for their construction and maintenance to begin with!
You clearly know nothing of the systems, or the financial plight of the city of New Orleans. twenty-three percent of the city lives below the poverty level, and therefore pays no taxes to the government.
I, personally, would appreciate the end of editorials calling
for the city of New Orleans to save itself, and boldly stating that you refuse to help us, and are angered that your tax dollars might go there. I have a hard time believing that most of you understand what we're going through. This is the greatest natural disaster of our time.
There are 22 people reading this who can relate, who understand the feeling of leaving your home knowing you may have nothing to come back to, sitting in a hotel room watching the city you love, the place you call home, destroyed.
Is the boy that you taught reading at Crocker still there? What about the lady at the drug store that always called you "baby," or the cab driver who, for some reason, was always burning incense? Are they alive? You can't describe the feeling until you've been there.
One day, you get a phone call, and the person on the other side says, "I got into your house, I'm sorry, there's nothing left." I came back to this state with nothing but a duffel bag and my laptop.
There are 22 people reading this who know the feeling of watching your fellow citizens on the riverwalk dying of starvation, thirst and heat exhaustion and wondering how many of them you've come in contact with.
I moved to New Orleans permanently last summer, and everything I had is gone. I am startling over, but I have what is most important to me, my friends, my family and my city, as decimated as it may be.
I am extraordinarily thankful that my family could afford to help me put my life back together.

Rushdie cited Jlhadist influence on Kashmiris as an example of religious tension. He said that though both groups were of the same faith they practiced it differently; now the Jlhdists are intimidating the Kashmiris in practicing a more
extreme form of Islam. Rushdie said that there was no problem when religion was private but that the question of intolerance was important.
"The problem I have is with this renewed and very powerful connection between religion and politics," Rushdie said.
Ian Staples, Lawrence junior, said he agreed with Rushdie's comments on the increasingly common bond between religion and politics.
"His dialogue on modern dogma was insightful to say the least," Staples said.

Unit
The department has completed 11 checkpoints since forming the unit, Roberts said. The traffic unit also conducts saturation patrols during which it targets drivers under the influence from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. on weekends, in addition to issuing traffic tickets, Roberts said. The traffic unit issues an average of 50 tickets per day and does not have quotas to fulfill, he said. Stanwix and Jerry Little, Lawrence city prosecutor, said the unit had increased the workload of municipal court and trials had been delayed. No employees have been added, they said.
Little said students could come to municipal court, 1006 New Hampshire St., to avoid having their citation reported to insurance companies. A prosecutor would lessen the change from a moving violation to a parking violation, he said. Kelly, a KU graduate student from Kansas who asked that her name not be used, said she received two speeding tickets totaling $198 while commuting to and from campus in September.
"I if I end up paying double to get them off my record, I'll go broke," Kelly said. "If I don't pay double, then my insurance
will go up and I'll be broke."
Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the city collected the revenue, which it uses to fund parks and recreation, street maintenance and police and fire protection.
"The purpose is not to raise revenue, but to make sure people follow traffic laws so the streets are safe." Highberger said.
The money from the federal grant has run out, Highberger said, but city commissioners were able to continue funding the traffic unit through an 8 percent increase in property value.

Quarterback quandary is a four-way decision
After a week of speculation, Kansas' quarterback situation has actually gotten more confusing.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named senior quarterback Jason Swanson as the offensive scout team player of the week, and was asked if he, too, was being considered for the starting job Saturday against Kansas State.
KELLEL ROBINETT
KROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Mangino has never allowed Barmann to throw the ball downfield, and the Jayhawks will need more than bubble screens and shovel passes to defeat the Wildcats.
An individual associated with the team said Barmann took all but a handful of snaps with the first-team offense Thursday. Still, Mangino told reporters Thursday that he had not yet named a starter.
He also owns zero conference victories.
One down, four quarterbacks left to debate.
"He's limited in some ways, and that's why he's down on the scout team right now," Mangino said. "At this point in time, I find it highly unlikely that he will play in this particular game."
Barmann saw time in relief of Luke last week but didn't take advantage of his opportunity, and he failed to spark the Kansas offense. Mangino said he hasn't written off Barmann, but going back to Barmann seems like the wrong decision.
Still, he is familiar with hostile road environments, like Texas A&M and
The remaining candidates: Senior Brian Luke, junior Adam Baramn, freshman Kerry Meier, and freshman Marcus Herford, who took a redshirt last season.
According to Mangino, the criteria for selecting the starter would be to evaluate the week of practice and go from there.
Adam Barmann
Oklahoma, so his experience could be a factor.
Chances of Starting: Very high
Kerry Meier
The most popular player on every football team is often the backup quarterback, and it's no different at Kansas.
Perhaps Meier has looked better than the other quarterbacks in practice and deserves a start, but there are obstacles in the way.
Mangino said Meier's family would play a large role as to whether Meier takes a redshirt this season, and convincing them to let him give up his redshirt could be difficult.
He also has no college game experience. Throwing him into his first game at Kansas State isn't the learning environment a freshman needs. It would have been better to have given him his first playing time during Kansas' non conference games, but he was suffering from a heart condition and was unable to take the field.
Mangino has been vague as to whether he is considering Meier for the Kansas State game or later in the season, but his philosophy has always be to play his best 11 players.
"I don't feel like today that I'm pressed to make an absolute decision about whether or not I'm going to redshirt him," Mangino said. "We're just going to keep going day-to-day, and if we feel good about Kerry playing, then we'll insert him in the game."
Chances of Starting: Medium
Marcus Herford
Herford is the wildcard in this decision. He has played in each of the last three games, but only as a change-of-pace quarterback who can run the ball.
During his series at Texas Tech, he was clearly the most mobile quarterback, but also the most inexperienced. If the Kansas offensive line breaks down, he's the only one who can make something good happen.
But if the quarterback has time to throw Saturday, and his scrambling ability is not needed, he might not be the best choice for throwing the ball downfield or reading the defensive coverage.
Chances of Starting: Low
Brian Luke
He had a bad game against Texas Tech, but he has been the most consistent quarterback this season. He also is the only candidate with a road victory, which was last year's season ending game at Missouri.
He also played well against Texas, last year, and has proved to be the best quarterback when he is hot.
Luke's touchdown pass to Mark Simmons during last week's game was worthy of an NFL quarterback, but for every quality throw he made, there was an equally poor one.
Mangino attributed this to over- analyzing the game.
Still, the only time Kansas has been productive on offense has been when Luke is at his best, and he gives the Jayhawks their best chance of victory.

'Hawks to face formidable foes
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas faces its season's turning point this weekend, hosting both Oklahoma schools, starting with the No. 24 Cowgirls tonight and finishing with the No. 25 Sooners on Sunday.
Determined to find a way out of a three-game winless streak, the Jayhawks
(5-5-2, 1-2-1 Big 12) will match up against strong numbers to get there.
Although the season looks dim at the moment, Kansas isn't worried.
"I don't really feel like there are any problems," senior forward Nicole Braman said. "We're on the brink of doing something great."
Sitting at the four spot in the Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma State (9-1-2, 2-1-0 Big 12) enters tonight's game on the momentum of a 5-0 victory. Oklahoma
This weekend we are playing two teams that have been very successful so far this season. For us to do well against them will really be good for our confidence."
Mark Francis
Kansas soccer coach
State buried Texas Tech last Sunday after suffering its only loss at the hands of Colorado, 1-0 last Friday.
"I think the results, to be honest, are because anybody can beat anybody," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said of the variance in the Big 12 standings.
The women from Stillwater are shooting for a 47 percent shot on goal mark. They have also scored 10 times the number of goals this season than all of their opponents combined. The Cowgirls have 40, their opponents, four.
"This weekend we are playing two teams that have been very successful so far this season," Francis said. "For us to do well against them will really be good for our confidence."
Junior forward Jesyca Rosholt leads the Cowgirls and the Big 12 with 11 goals, after scoring twice in the Texas Tech victory. Combined with her five assists, Rosholt totals 27 points at this point in the season.
Named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks, freshman goalkeeper Bettina Grosmann is one of three different Cowgirl keepers to start this season. In four starts, the native German has 11 saves and a. 32 GAA.
"Everybody in the Big 12 is awesome." Braman said. "We're not expecting anything less than a great game from both teams."
Sunday brings the other Oklahoma crew, the Big 12-leading Oklahoma Sooners.
On a nine-game winning streak, the Sooners (11-1-0, 3-0-0 Big 12) are coming off a 2-1 overtime victory at the expense of Colorado last Sunday. Their only loss was a 2-0 decision against Wisconsin more than a month ago.
Junior forward/midfielder Savannah Scott sent the game winner against the Bufaloes on Sunday. Her six goals lead the team, and she has had 14 points in 2005.

Injury, losses build barrier for Kansas
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Jayhawks (12-4, 4-3 Big 12) have not defeated the Cornhuskers since the first meeting between the two schools on October 17, 1975. That was the only victory that Kansas has ever recorded against Nebraska, losing 73 matches with one tie since.
The Kansas volleyball team will have multiple problems to deal with when it plays top-ranked Nebraska at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Athletics Center.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team would have to be perfect in order to knock off the No.1 team in the country.
"We have nothing to lose," he said. "We'll have to play close games and try to steal one from them at the end."
First-place Nebraska (14-0, 6-0) is led by sophomore outside hitter Sarah Paven. She was named the Big 12's preseason player of the year after earning freshman of the year and all-conference honors last season. She averages 3.64 kills per game and has scored a team-high 218.5 points this season.
"You can't hold these kids responsible, obviously," he said. "Nebraska's just been really good. Their record against everybody around the league has been good."
As for the streak, Bechard said it was the result of some excellent 'Husker teams over the years.
Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook has led the Huskers to a 170-11 record in his five-plus seasons at the helm. He won a national championship in his first year and has captured four conference titles.
Nebraska has won six out of the last seven Big 12 championships, including last season. Coupled with its perfect 2004 conference slate, Nebraska is 26-0 over the last two years.
Another obstacle for Kansas will be the absence of junior outside hitter Jana Correa. She suffered a left knee injury in the first game of Wednesday's loss to Kansas State. Although it was not confirmed by coaches, Correa was said to have suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
Junior reserve Megan Hill is expected to take Corale's place
in the starting lineup for the Jayhawks. She had seen very limited action before getting the call against Kansas State.
"They could give us a real shot in the arm," Bechard said. "They will have to execute well in order for us to be successful.
Bechard said Hill, along with redshirt freshman middle blocker Kristin Buehler and sophomore middle blocker Caitlin Mahoney, provided good support during a time when the Jayhawks needed someone to step up.
The Nebraska match will be Kansas's last until October 15 when it plays at Missouri. The v-eek-long layoff will match the longest of the season for the Jahawks.

Football heaven comes to Atlanta
BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The French Quarter is out. Underground Atlanta is in.
Red beans and rice are off the menu. How 'bout some biscuits and a heaping bowl of grits?
The background music for this party will be hip-hop, not jazz.
Come January, Peachtree Street gets to pinch-hit for Bourbon Street, an extraordinary turn of events brought on by a catastrophic disaster.
A news conference is scheduled for Friday morning at the Georgia Dome to make it official: The Sugar Bowl is moving from flooded-out New Orleans this season and setting up shop in much drier Atlanta, a city of traffic jams and seemingly constant construction, a Mecca of big-time sporting events that now gets the task of hosting two major college football bowls — not to mention an NFL game — within the space of four days.
For football lovers, Atlanta will provide a little bit of heaven as one year blends into the next.
So, if things go as expected,
more than 210,000 fans will pack the Georgia Dome during a four-day cornucopia of football that should leave even the most hardened pigskinner screaming,
"No mas!"
"If you don't like football," quipped Mark Vaughan, an executive vice president with the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau, "you probably don't want to be in Atlanta during that time."

O'BROTHER
Two rivalries to heat up this weekend
Travis: Now that we're into the Big 12 conference season, these games are going to get more competitive and more difficult to pick.
Kellis: Well, let's get started with what is traditionally the league's game of the year, the Red River Shootout.
Travis: I don't think it will be much of a "shootout" this year. More like a Longhorn blowout. I like Texas because Oklahoma has been struggling, while Texas has a major victory at Ohio State.
Kellis: The Sooners came to life last weekend with their victory against the Kansas State Wildcats. Freshman quarterback Rhett Bomar is looking good, and don't forget Bob Stoops hasn't lost to Mack Brown in five years. I'm sure he's got a special game plan ready to make it six straight victories.
had a punter, is not impressive. Stoops definitely has the coaching advantage, but the talent is overwhelmingly in Texas' favor.
Travis: A victory against Kansas State, who forgot it
I am a student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am studying Computer Science and Mathematics. I am looking for a job as a computer scientist or a data scientist.
Kellis: So, if Kansas goes on the road and defeats Kansas State it won't be impressive?
Travis: Wait a minute. That's a different situation. First of all, we're dealing with a rivalry. Second, any road victory by Kansas is impressive, because Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has only one conference road victory.
Kellis: On that note, I think Mangino will get his second on Saturday. The Jayhawks might only win 2-0, but their defense is just too strong to lose to the Wildcats.
Travis: I agree. Junior running back Jon Cornish and the offense will be able to out score Kansas State by at least a touchdown because Kansas' defense has a chance to shut out the Wildcats.
TRAVIS AND KELLIS ROBINETT
SPORTS@KANSAN.COM
Kellis: Speaking of cats, Missouri will have a tough road game at Oklahoma State. I'm going with the Tigers, though. The Cowboys lost 34-0 to the Colorado Buffaloes last week.
Travis: I don't think Missouri's going to have a tough time. With Baylor's good performance last week at Texas A&M, I think Oklahoma State is the worst team in the Big 12. Missouri will win by double digits.
Kellis: Those Bears will hit the road again this weekend, as they take on the Iowa State Cyclones, who lost a double overtime game at Nebraska last week. The Cyclones won't lose two in a row, but this game will be close.
Travis: The Bears will have a huge letdown after last week's disappointing overtime loss. Their hangover will lead to at least a 20-point victory for the Cyclones.
Travis: Did the oil fires from West Texas kill some of your brain cells last week? Nebraska's defense is comparable to Kansas'. Plus, the game is in Lincoln, Neb. I'm going with the 'Huskers on a last-second field goal.
Kellis: That's nothing compared to how badly Nebraska will lose this weekend. The 'Huskers can't score, and even with this game being at home, Texas Tech will again approach the 70 point total it put up last year on Nebraska.
Kollis: Wait a minute. It did smell bad in parts of Lubbock, but they're making great strides to convert to natural wind energy out there. My brain cells are just fine.
Travis: All right, you're entitled to
your opinion, no matter how crazy it is. I just hope you put some more thought into the game between Colorado and Texas A&M. Colorado has all the momentum and the home-field advantage. I'm going with the Buffaloes.
Travis: Uh, I'm pretty sure they're the Buffalo Bulls. By the way, who made us pick this game? I don't know anything about either team. But I guess I'll go with Akron just because you picked Buffalo.
Kollis: I am taking the Buffaloes as well, not just in this game, but also the Buffalo of Buffalo who are taking on fellow bottom feeder Akron.
Kollis: When you're sports editor, you can pick the games.

Jayhawks aim to remain undefeated in final games
BY SAM CARLESON
scarleton@kansan.com
KANSAN SWITTERWRI
The Kansas softball team, riding high off an undefeated preseason record, will play its final two games of the fall season this weekend at Arrocha Ballpark.
Kansas is scheduled to host Johnson County Community College and Missouri Western on Sunday.
The Jayhawks have yet to lose this fall, boasting a record of 8-0, not including their 13-1 victory in a scrimmage against William Jewell.
Statistically, it doesn't appear the Jayhawks have been tested in fall ball.
Missouri Western, a Division II program, earned a record of 48-20 last season while Johnson County enjoyed similar success, as it finished the season with a 47-14 record.
Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said she didn't know what to expect from Missouri Western, but she anticipated a good game against Johnson County.
"They're usually a pretty solid juco team, and they're usually pretty-well coached." Bunge said.
This weekend will be the last opportunity for the Jayhawks to face other teams before the spring season begins.
Bunge said she hoped her team would be put in situations this weekend that would allow it to try various strategies on the field, like bunting and hit-and-runs.
Senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein said Johnson County would give the Jayhawks stiff competition.
It's back to practice for the Jayhawks after Sunday's games, meaning this weekend will be the final opportunity for the pitchers to test their arms against batters other than their teammates.
"They come out and bring their A-game when they play us so we know that we're going to have to step it up a little bit," she said.
The trio of pitchers such as freshman Valerie George, junior Kassie Humphreys, and senior Serena Settlemier have formed a pitching staff that has dominated the opposition this fall season.
It's back to practice for the Jayhawks after Sunday's games, meaning this weekend will be the final opportunity for the pitchers to test their arms against batters other than their teammates.
"I think the pitchers are getting pretty comfortable with where they're at and how many innings they're pitching," Frankenstein said.
Bunge has mixed up the defense this fall, inserting players at multiple positions in order to determine a starting lineup for the spring.
Frankenstein said establishing a starting lineup was more difficult when the entire team was playing well.
"Everybody's doing a good job, so it's really hard to not play someone," Frankenstein said. "It's really about being comfortable with each other out there."

ST. LOUIS — Mark Mulder tossed aside a pair of poor tune-up starts and put the St. Louis Cardinals on the brink of a playoff sweep.
St. Louis Cardinals' shortstop David Eckstein flies over San Diego Padres' Xavier Nady on a double play grounder by San Diego's Miguel Olivio during the seventh inning in Game 2 of their National League Division Series in St. Louis Thursday.
Mulder pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and the Cardinals once again built an early lead, beating the San Diego Padres 6-2 Thursday for a 2-0 edge in their first-round NL series.

Mulder was 16-8 in his first season since being acquired from Oakland, but gave up seven earned runs over 5 2-3 innings in two starts after the Cardinals clinched the NL Central.
stacked with seven right-handed hitters until the late innings and backed by four double plays, tying the NLDS record.
The Cardinals' first four runs came on balls that didn't leave the infield — or in one case, even the catcher's glove. David Eckstein had a run-scoring groundout and a squeeze bunt, Yadier Molina had an RBI grounder and Albert Pujols drew a bases-loaded walk to finish Pedro Astacio after four innings.
Matt Morris will try to clinch it for St. Louis on Saturday at San Diego against Woody Williams.
The Cardinals, who led the majors with 100 wins this season.
have advanced to the NL championship series four times in five chances under manager Tony La Russa. San Diego, which limped into the playoffs with an 82-80 record, hasn't shown any signs of stopping them.
Seven teams have rallied from a 2-0 deficit in division series play — the last team to do it was Boston against Oakland in 2003.
As in Tuesday's opener, when the Cardinals took an eight-run lead behind Chris Carpenter before the Padres rallied in an 8-5 loss, it got a little closer at the end.
Mulder scoffed at both of those trends the day before Game 2, blanking a lineup

Jayhawks to compete against top 25 team
BY KELY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's swimming and diving team will compete against the nationally ranked Minnesota Gophers in its first dual meet tomorrow at Robinson Natatorium.
The meet is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Kansas finished fourth out of six teams at the Big 12 Conference Championships in College Station, Texas. The Golden Gophers, coached by Kelly Kremer, Terry Niezner and Jason Baumann, finished sixth out of 11 teams at the Big Ten Conference Championships in Bloomington, Ind., last February. They also finished the 2004-2005 season No. 23 in the College Swim Coaches Association poll, published by USA Today.
"This is a good opportunity to swim a top 25 team." Kansas
swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "Mentally, we get up, but we're still physically early in the season. It will be a great early season test."
The hype surrounding Minnesota has not discouraged Kansas. Senior co-captain Gina Gnatzig said it would give the Jayhawks more incentive to do well.
"Knowing that they are ranked is always in the back of our minds, but that gives us a reason to swim fast." Gnatzig said.
Gnatzig said to prepare the team to compete against Minnesota, Campbell had had a mini swim camp during the first five weeks of school that focused on physical training and conditioning.
"Clark has been talking to us about how to be mentally tough, also," Gnatzig said.
Gnatzig said the Golden Gophers had fast sprinters but the Jayhawks had the depth to keep the meet alive.
Because the Jayhawks are playing host to the Gophers, they may have momentum in their favor, but Campbell said the away meet would not slow Minnesota down.
"They will come to Lawrence prepared," Campbell said. "That's what makes them nationally ranked. They swim well at home and on the road."
Each team released its 2004- 2005 top times at the end of last season. Their times were comparable.
"Most of our top times come from Big 12s or the Nike meet at the end of the season, but Minnesota swims very well in-season," Campbell said.
For the Jayhawks to get to Minnesota's level, they must perform for the remainder of the season like Minnesota does, Campbell said.

Fans hate no-huddle offense
BY JUDI BOLAND
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. — After his first loss as Oklahoma State's coach, Mike Gundy is getting plenty of input on how to make the Cowboys' no-huddle offense more effective.
Two days after Oklahoma State's 34-0 loss to Colorado, the first-year coach had already received 50 e-mails from fans.
"People are saying the offense is no good, you need to huddle up," Gundy said.
Gundy said most of the e-mails were negative,but some of the writers knew what they were talking about.
"I read my e-mails. I read
them not because I want to fire back and say, 'You are wrong.' I read them because I want information. Any information I can get is good information," Gundy said.
The loss to Colorado was the first time since 2000 that Oklahoma State was shut out and the first time it was held scoreless at home since 1991.
But heading into this week's game against Missouri (2-2, 0-1 Big 12), which features the worst defense in the Big 12, the Cowboys (3-1, 0-1) remain confident.
"Our players are upbeat, and the coaches are upbeat after a tough loss." Gundy said. "We are looking forward to a new
challenge this week."
Both Oklahoma State and Missouri, which lost 51-20 to No. 2 Texas last week, are looking for their first conference victory.
"We understand that they lost a game; we both lost one and obviously, we both want one back and that's natural as competitors." Tigers coach Gary Pinkel said. "This will be a challenge like every other one."
Missouri has won its last three games in Stillwater, dating back to a 24-15 win in 1994.
The Tigers also picked up a 41-38 win in triple overtime in 2001 and a 51-50 win in double overtime in 1997

Old-time quarterback joins the Jets
16
Ed Betz/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY JIM LITKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
New York Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde puts on his helmet as he arrives on the field at the Jets practice facility in Uniondale, N.Y. Wednesday. Testaverde will be the fourth-oldest quarterback to start a game in the Super bowl now.
One picture of an old quarterback is worth a thousand words of warning.
The iconic image for today's NFL fans might well be T.O. with his mouth in gear, but to an earlier generation, a single black-and-white photo fixed what the game was about: Y.A. Tittle on his knees in the shadow of the goalposts, his blue New York Giants helmet lying on the ground a few feet away, a trickle of blood creasing his bald pate.
When that image was captured in September of 1964, Tittle was a month shy of his 38th birthday and beginning his 17th year in pro football.
He had no way of knowing it at that moment, but his time had already run out. Ahead lay a season so brutal and bad that he'd quit the game as soon as it was over.
Vinny Testaverde will be almost four years older than that when he settles in over center Sunday at the Meadowlands. He'll be a Jet again, which is only fitting, because that's how his most ardent supporters and detractors will remember him, anyway.
At the moment, though, it's an even-money bet which side will be happier when this experiment ends.
"Everything is old," Testaverde chuckled Thursday, "not just my arm."
His teammates claim they got the opposite impression — if you heard the phrase, 'same old Vinny' in the Jets locker room once, you heard it a dozen times
— but what did anyone really expect them to say?
With a 1-3 record, they haven't blocked well enough to unclob the running game, and they couldn't prevent the first two quarterbacks on their chart, Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler, from
getting knocked all the way to the sideline.
Maybe that's why coach Herm Edwards warned his squad to worry less about posing for alumni photos with Testaverde and concentrate more on protecting him.
"It's going to take everyone around Vinny to be successful." Edwards said Thursday, "not just him."
If that sounds as if the coach is already laying off some responsibility for bringing Testaverde back, there's a reason.
Edwards said he knew something drastic had to change after watching third-stringer Brett Bollinger run for his life last week against the Baltimore Ravens.
But he didn't rush right out and call Vinny. Screwing up the courage to do that, to switch to Plan D in yet another desperate bid to revive the Jets' season, took the better part of two days.
Testaverde would have been happy to save Edwards the time and trouble. Turns out he watched Bollinger get chewed up too, and even from the safety of his couch, figured he could do better.
But Testaverde didn't rush out and call Edwards, either.
He left the organization after playing in fewer than half the games in the 2003 season, convinced he'd slid too far down the depth chart to make it worth his while. Instead, Testaverde hooked up with his old Jets coach, Bill Parcells, in Dallas and had another productive if unsatisfying season.
It's anyone's guess whether Testaverde would have been moved to re-enlist anywhere else but New York, but at least there he got some encouragement.
Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet and he still get their families together for dinners, and that's
where the reunion tour idea picked up steam.
"I was thinking how the offense was going," Chrebet recalled. "I said, 'Vinny, this is perfect for you. You just drop back there and throw it to the open guy. Just like we played it back in the day."
But Testaverde can take some comfort knowing the Jets can't do much worse with him than without him. Pressure is a word that won't enter his vocabulary this week.
"At that point we were just hoping," he added. "Then it became a reality."
Edwards finally got around to calling Tuesday morning, and 15 minutes later, Testaerde reported for his physical.
By kickoff, he may not know the offense, or that he's only the second-oldest QB in the league behind Doug Flutie, soon to turn 45.
"You just want to go out and react," he said.
He may not know he's the fourth-oldest quarterback to
start a game in the Super Bowl era, or even the sad endings that Tittle, and Johnny Unitas, wrote for their careers.
'Hawks CONTINUED FROM 18
Colleen Quinn. Nichols has recorded 38 saves in her 12 starts to tally a .57 GAA.
The challenge both teams will bring to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex tonight and Sunday provides the ideal setting for Kansas' road to improvement.
"This is a great weekend to turn things around," Braman said. She was the only Jayhawk to score last weekend against Nebraska and Iowa State. "Winning results would obviously be great."
Kansas leads the overall series against Oklahoma State 6-2-2. But this year, the Cowgirls have knocked in more than double the number of goals as Kansas.
The Jahawks have scored 18 times, while allowing opponents to stay close behind with 16. This number does not stand up well to the fact that the Oklahoma tandem holds the first and second points per match spots in the Big 12.
Despite setbacks, such as the sidelining of junior midfielder Nicole Cauzillo, the co-captain has not played in the Pepperdine match on Sept. 11. Francis and his team are convinced they are moving forward.
"I think the team's played well," Francis said. "We've had injuries that have affected us and just some bad luck. Right now we're third from the bottom of the conference. Does that mean we're not a good team? No it doesn't."
Senior forward Caroline Smith continues to lead the team with five goals and three assists for 13 points. One more assist will put Smith atop the all-time Kansas assist leader board. Quinn will likely step in as keeper despite increasing her GAA to 1.17.
In their favor, the Jayhawks feel that returning home will be the best environment for a turning point in their season.
"Traveling takes its toll," Braham said. "It's definitely an advantage for the home team. With the home crowd and no strict schedule in between games, this is obviously the better place to be."

NFL
Chiefs to welcome back desperately needed players
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When they get back from their bye week to host Washington on Oct. 16, the Kansas City Chiefs won't be the same team.
They'll acquire over the break a great left tackle, an experienced starting cornerback and a versatile, valuable backup lineman.
How much difference that will make remains to be seen. Perhaps even if they'd had Willie Roaf, Eric Warfield and John Welbourn and been at full strength, the Chiefs would be 2-2 anyway, victors over two losing teams and victims of two contenders. And still in search of their own true identity.
But getting those three back on the field may also turn out to be a tremendous boost in the last 12 games of what will probably be the last team Dick Vermeil ever coaches.
"You bet it will be nice to see those guys," said wide receiver/kick returner Dante Hall. "We can use all the help we can get."
Welbourn, a former starter who can play both guard and tackle, served a four-game suspension for steroids. With injuries cutting down the effectiveness of the offensive line, his absence hurt.
Warfield, the only productive cornerback Kansas City's had for several years, had to sit out the first quarter of the season for violation of the NFL's drug abuse policy. With him joining newcomers Patrick Surtain and Sammy Knight in the secondary, maybe Chad Pennington and Donovan McNabb would not have torched the Chiefs for a combined 721 yards passing
But the biggest plus will be Roaf. The hulking 10-time Pro
Bowler popped a hamstring early in the first half of the first game and his absence has had an amazing trickle-down effect on the entire offense.
Without Roaf, quarterback Trent Green's been fighting to stay upright. The Denver Broncos knocked him down eight times during a dominating 30-10 Monday night victory.
Pro Bowl tight end Tony Gonzalez, who set an NFL receiving record for his position last year with 102 catches, has been almost entirely neutralized.
Frequently held in for maximum pass protection. Gonzalez hasn't had a chance to make any meaningful catches when he does go downfield because the harried Green's not had time to wait for him to get there.
Without Roaf, the bread-and-butter running game that was so vital to an offense that set an NFL record with 398 first downs last year has been relegated almost entirely to wide stuff.
"When the players come back, we'll be healthier than we've been at any time this year, including training camp," said Vermeil. "(Roaf) feels very good right now. He feels very confident he can play these 12 games stronger than he played them last year because of the rest and how good he feels right now. We'll be deeper in the offensive line with the return of John Welbourn."
With Warfield back, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham may be able to go to more of the man defense he prefers instead of the soft zone which saw the Eagles' Terrell Owens get wide open time after time for 171 yards receiving. But Vermel insists that Warfield will not walk right back into his job.
In fact, veteran Dexter McCleon has done better than many expected filling in for him.

Houston Astros' Lance Berkman dives safely back to first base on a pickoff attempt by Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz in the 3rd inning of Game 2 of the National League Division Series at Turner Field in Atlanta, Thursday.

BY PAUL NEWBERRY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rookie Brian McCann hit a three-run homer in his first postseason at-bat, which were all the runs Smoltz needed to lead the Braves past Roger Clemens and the Astros 7-1 on Thursday night, tying the best-of-five series at one game apiece.
ATLANTA — The Braves rocked the Rocket, John Smoltz picked up where he left off six years ago, and Atlanta finds itself all even with the Houston Astros in the NL playoffs.
Smoltz broke a one-day tie with Houston's Andy Pettitt to reclaim the title of baseball's winningest postseason pitcher. The right-hander improved to 15-4 with seven strong innings in his first October start since the 1999 World Series.
With the NL East champion Braves having bounced back from a 10-5 loss in Game 1, the
series shifts to Houston. Twenty-game winner Roy Oswalt is set to go against Atlanta's surprising 13-game winner, Jorge Sosa, on Saturday.
The Astros hope Oswalt looks better than Clemens, who led the majors in ERA (1.87) at age 43 but was bothered late in the season by a sore hamstring.
McCann sent the Turner Field crowd into a frenzy when he connected with two outs and two on in the second, driving a fastball into the right-field seats to put the Braves up 3-1.
The 21-year-old catcher became the first player in Braves history — including Boston and Milwaukee, too — to homer in his first trip to the plate in the postseason.
McCann, one of 18 rookies who played for Atlanta this season, started the year at Double-A Mississippi. He was born less than three months before Clemens made his major league debut with
the Boston Red Sox in 1984.
The Braves stretched their lead to 5-1 in the third. Adam LaRoche hit an opposite-field double to bring home two more runs.
The ball slipped under the glove of diving left fielder Orlando Palmeiro before rolling all the way to the wall.
With Smoltz on the mound
— stiff shoulder and all — the lead was secure. This is what he yearned for after spending three-plus seasons as the Braves closer, a role that left his playoff fortunes in the hands of others.
Smoltz had to wait an extra day to make this long-awaited playoff start, getting bumped from the expected Game 1 nod to give his shoulder a little extra rest.
No problem, considering how long he already had waited.
Back in that '99 World Series, Smoltz's last year as a starter before an elbow injury cost him an
entire season and prompted his move to the bullpen, he struck out 11 in Game 4 against the Yankees.
It wasn't enough to keep New York from completing the sweep with a 4-1 victory. And the winning pitcher that day? Clemens, who was back to face Smoltz, now 38, in the oldest pitching matchup in postseason history.
The Braves added two more runs in the seventh against reliever Chad Qualls, even with two runners thrown out on the basepaths. Andruw Jones and Jeff Francoeur had RBI singles to give the shaky Braves bullpen a six-run cushion.
Jones, who came into the playoffs mired in a 6-for-51 slump, followed up a Game 1 homer with three more hits, scoring each time.
Chris Reitsma, who retired only one hitter while giving up four runs in the opener, gave up a leadoff single in the eighth but retired the next three hitters.

Greats swing on new course
BY DOUG FERGUESON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Coming off his first victory in 19 months, Colin Montgomerie appears hungry for more.
Montgomerie showed no effects from an emotional victory four days ago in Scotland, matching his career-low score in the United States with a 6-under 64 that gave him a three-shot lead Thursday in the American Express Championship.
Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and nine others were at 67 on a spectacular day at Harding Park, the municipal course along Lake Merced that got a $16 million makeover and held its own
against the world's best players. It was right up Montgomerie's alley.
"If I can hit fairways, I can hit greens," he said. "And then I can score."
He looked like the Monty of old with tee shots that split the tree-lined fairways, making the game look simple. The 42-year-old Scot ran off three straight birdies to close out the back nine, then added his lone birdie on the front with a wedge into 18 inches. What mattered more to him was no bogeys on his card.
Woods, who played Harding Park in junior high school when it was covered with weeds, stayed close until he stopped
giving himself good chances, dropping a shot on the par-3 eighth and having to scramble for par at the end.
"If I shot something between 2- and 4-under par, I thought it would be pretty good," Woods said. "They've done a wonderful job tucking the pins. The greens are firm, so you've got to be careful."
It was the first test at Harding Park, which had not hosted golf's best players since the late 1960s. The course is considered relatively short at 7,086 yards, although the firm greens with subtle contours kept anyone from going outrageously low.
"A muni just means it's owned by the city." Pihl Mickelson said after stumbling to a 71. "It doesn't mean it's an easy or hard course."
It was plenty easy for Montgomerie.
He missed only two greens, and saved par both times with 10-foot putts that kept his momentum going — not only in the opening round, but in a summer that has turned his fortunes around more than he could have imagined.
Montgomerie fell as low as No. 83 in the world ranking and failed to qualify for The Players Championship and the Masters in the spring. But as he coped with a controversy over an apparent rules breach in March at the Indonesian Open, he finds himself headed toward the top.

Detroit continues sweep against St. Louis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Robert Lang had a goal and an assist, and Jason Williams had three assists to lead the Detroit Red Wings to a season-opening home-and-home sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 4-3 victory Thursday night.
SHER-WOOD
Detroit, which beat the Blues 5-1 at home Wednesday night, could not have asked for a better opponent to open the season. Since 2002-03, Detroit is 11-1-1 against St. Louis.
Mikael Samuelsson, Jiri Fischer and Brendan Shanahan also scored for Detroit, while Manny Legace made 23 saves for his second win in as many nights. The victory wasn't assured until the final seconds as the Blues, with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker, got off several shots in a goal-mouth scramble. St. Louis outshot Detroit 11-4 in the final period.
Doug Weight had a goal and an assist for St. Louis, while defenseman Andy Roach scored his first career goal and Dean McAmmond got his first goal as a member of the Blues.
Detroit led 2-1 after the first period, and appeared to take control when Fischer and Shanahan scored late in the second.
Detroit goaltender Manny Legace makes a save against St. Louis' Dallas Drake in the third period on Thursday in the Savvis Center in St. Louis. The Red Wings added another victory to their 11 against the Blues since the 2002-2003 season.
Fischer made it 5-1 at 16:10 when he took a feed from Tomas Holmstrom, skated down the right side and beat goalie Patrick Lalime inside the far post. Shanahan then scored on the power play with 1:43 left in the period as he put in the rebound of Williams' shot from the left point.

Padres hand over game to St. Louis Cardinals in a 6-2 loss
MLB
BY JIM SALTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Misplays and missed opportunities have put the San Diego Padres in a big hole.
The St. Louis Cardinals scored twice in one inning on an error, three walks and a botched throw to the plate, then got two more runs in another inning after a misjudged fly ball and a bad throw home.
The Padres made it easy for the Cardinals when they were at the plate, too. San Diego hit into double plays in four straight innings, blowing several scoring chances in a 6-2 loss Thursday,
"We had our chances," Padres manager Bruce Bochy said. "We're just missing the big hit. It was similar to the first game."
The Cardinals are up 2-0 in the best-of-five series, which moves to San Diego on Saturday.
The Padres were primed to take their first lead of the series when they loaded the bases in the second against Mark Mulder on a walk, a hit and a hit batter. But rookie Ben Johnson struck out and pitcher Pedro Astacio bounced back to the mound.
The Cardinals scored two runs without a hit in the third. Astacio walked Abraham Nunez leading off, then Yadier Molina hit a sure double-play ball to short. But Khalil Greene misplayed it for an error and both runners were safe.
After Mulder's sacrifice bunt,
first baseman Xavier Nady fielded
David Eckstein's grounder
but threw high to the plate,
allowing Nunez to just sneak under
the tag. Astacio then walked
Jim Edmonds and Albert Pujols
on nine pitches.
Mark Grudzielanek singled leading off the fourth, and Nunez hit a liner to deep right
that Johnson broke slowly on, the ball just eluding his outstretched glove for a groundrule double.
"I guess it was a case of misjudging it," Johnson said. "Off the bat I kind of lost it. I picked it up the last second and tried to take a stab at it."
Molina grounded sharply to Nady, who again threw just high enough home for Grudzielanek to score. The Cardinals made it 4-0 on Eckstein's squeeze bunt.
Johnson, who also struck out twice and hit into a double play, said he was nervous.
"The adrenaline was pumping," he said. "I tried to set myself. I made a couple of mistakes."
Meanwhile, the Padres missed several chances to get back into the game, hitting into double plays in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings.
"You can't guide it," San Diego's Joe Randa said. "If you hit it hard at somebody, there's nothing you can do."
The double play in the seventh was the biggest. The Padres had scored to make it 4-1
and had runners on first and second with hit out when Miguel Olivo hit into a 4-6-3 double play. After a hit batter, Ryan Klesko flied out to left as the potential tving run.
"That's the way we played all year long," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Our pitchers are not afraid to pitch to contact and get the ground-ball."
The Cardinals tied an NL division series record with the four double plays. The double play streak finally ended in the eighth — and San Diego still missed a chance to get back in the game.

Sunflower Showdown hits Manhattan
KU Blitz
AT A GLANCE
Kansas ended an 11-game losing streak to Kansas State last season and will look to make it two straight victories tomorrow. The Jayhawks will look to continue their strong defensive play to help their sputtering offense. A victory on the road would put the Jayhawks just two victories away from becoming bowl-eligible.
The current win streak for the Jayhawks over the Wildcats.
5 QUICK FACTS
17 of 17 The success of the Jayhawks thus far in the red zone. They are one of all three teams in the conference to score every time they get inside the 20 yard line.
LAST TIME OUT
- Whomever Kansas football coach Mark Mangino starts at quarterback. The Jayhawks have struggled throughout the season with inconsistency at the quarterback position. The offense has thrown six interceptions this season and has been unable to convert on third down.
◆ The Jayhawks put together their best defensive performance last week. It was the offense that let them down. Kansas fell to Texas Tech 30-17 for its first loss of the season. The offense gave the Red Raiders seven points when it fumbled and turned the ball over in its own end zone. Kansas was unable to move the football once it got into Texas Tech territory.

17
PLAYER TO WATCH

6 Number of interceptions thrown by Kansas quarterbacks through four games. Whomver backs tomorrow will need to do a better job of not making turnovers in order for the offense to be successful.
6.3
5,35 Yards per carry for junior running back Jon Cornish. With the Jhyawk passing attack struggling, Cornish will need to shoulder most of the offensive load tomorrow.
Kansas vs. Kansas State 11 a.m., Saturday, Manhattan, KSU Stadium
0
Number of interceptions for junior cornerback Charles Gordon. After leading the nation in picks last season, Gordon has yet to record one this season.
KLY INJURIES
The Jayhawks appear to be relatively clean on injuries at this point. Gordon limped off the field after last week's contest, but Mangino said that it was an ankle sprain and that he was not concerned.
KEY TO VICTORY
The offense needs to come alive this week if the Jayhawks hope to win. That will all start with the KU quarterback not forcing throws into coverage that could result in interceptions. The longer the offense stays on the field, the longer the solid Kansas defense will have to rest. The offense cannot make a habit of relying on the defense to score points.
Kansas
OFFENSE
KU
The Kansas offense struggled against Texas Tech last week, mainly through the play of its quarterbacks. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino used three quarterbacks, but none of them moved the offense down the field. The
offense received good field position from the Kansas defense, but the quarterbacks were unable to capitalize on it. Mangino has yet to name a starter for Saturday's game. The selected Kansas quarterback will have to perform better than last week if the Jayhawks want to win their second consecutive game against Kansas State. Junior quarterback Adam Barmann is the projected choice to start against the Wildcats. Junior running back Jon Cornish will also be a huge factor in the offense. Cornish, the team's leading rusher, will split time with senior running back Clark Green.
DEFENSE KU KU KU KU
The Kansas defense is coming off its best performance of the year after holding Texas Tech's high-powered offense to 23 points. The defense has been spectacular against the run this season, ranking second in the Big 12 Conference and fifth nationally. The Jayhawks have given up only 72 yards per game on the ground. Expect the Kansas defense to be more concerned with the run this week. Kansas' solid linebackers will be put to the test to stop the Kansas State rushing attack.
SPECIALTEAMS
The Kansas special teams unit continues to be a vital part of the team's success. The punt and kickoff coverage has consistently set up the opponent with poor field position. Sophomore kicker Scott Webb has yet to miss a field goal this season, and sophomore punter Kyle Tucker is coming off his best game of the season and is averaging 43 yards per punt. Junior cornerback Charles Gordon is always a threat to take a punt return to the end zone.
Opponent
COACHES
The Kansas State offense will go as far as running backs junior Thomas Clayton and freshman Parrish Fisher go. Clayton has rushed for more than 300 yards in three games and is one of the best running backs in the conference. Junior quarterback Allen Webb will lead the passing attack for Kansas State. Webb's statistics have improved from last season, but don't be surprised if freshman quarterback Allan Evridge comes on to spell Webb at some point during the game. Evridge has played in the past two games, and he went 3-6 for 49 yards against Oklahoma. Coach Bill Snyder said he has been happy with Evridge's performance in practice.
KU KU KU
Mangino coached with Snyder for eight seasons at Kansas State. Mangino ended the streak of 11 consecutive Kansas State victories last year and will look to get a rare road victory tomorrow. In order for Mangino to do that, he will look for solid play from his quarterbacks. Mangino had a quick leash last week, using three quarterbacks. Mangino has not found a consistent quarterback to stick with this season. Fans will see if he finds that consistency this week.
OFFENSE
— Ryan Colaianni
DEFENSE
The defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses. In its first conference game, Kansas State faced a struggling offense and still could not contain it. Last weekend, Oklahoma star running back Adrian Peterson left in the first half, but the Wildcats still struggled to stop the Sooners. Junior linebacker Brandon Archer anchors the defense and has had 25 total tackles in the team's first four games. Archer is a mainstay on the Wildcats defense; he has 115 tackles in his career. Sophomore defensive back Marcus Watts had a solid game last weekend against Oklahoma, compiling nine tackles and breaking up one pass. The defense is ranked 39th in the NCAA in total defense.
CCC
SPECIAL TEAMS
Junior place kicker Jeff Snodgrass anchors Kansas State's special teams. He had a 57-yard field goal against North Texas, which tied for the fourth-
longest in school history. He is 4-6 on the season and has hit all three field goals from 30 to 39 yards. Sophomore punterTim Reyer had a tough week last week, as he failed to get on the field before a Kansas State punt. The ball was snapped, and it went out the back of the end zone. Reyer: had been solid before that, averaging 40 yards per punt. Junior wide receiver Jermaine Moreira handles the punt return duties for Kansas State. He averages more than 12 yards per return and has one touchdown that came on a 67-yard return. Moreira also handles the kick return duties, averaging 28 yards per return.
COACHES
Although Bill Snyder was named NCAA Coach of the Year three times in the 1990s, he has struggled throughout the past year when Kansas State stumbled to a 4-7 finish. Snyder has to prove that he can still recruit in the state of Kansas, despite losing to the Jayhawks last season. The Wildcats are 88-31 in their past 10 seasons, which ranks fifth in Division 1-A. Snyder is the reason Mangino coaches Kansas; Snyder served as mentor to Mangino for seven years while Mangino served as an assistant at Kansas State. Mangino will look to defeat his mentor for the
90 8 7
KSU Blitz
♦ K-State got off to a 3-0 non-conference start before losing to Oklahoma last weekend. The Wildcats' closest game was their second of the season, when they defeated the Marshall Thundering Herd on the road 21-19. Kansas State's other two victories were at home against Florida Atlantic and North Texas.
Kansas State is going to need a strong performance from junior running back Thomas Clayton to beat the Jayhawks. The Kansas defense has been tough against the run so far this season, but if Clayton explodes for more than 100 yards, which he is capable of, Kansas could have a long day. Clayton has 337 yards in three games, which ranks 14th nationally and is the best in the Big 12 Conference.
- Kansas State opened its conference season on the road against Oklahoma and came away with a 43-21 loss. The Wildcats fell behind 26-0 in the third quarter and never made up the deficit. Kansas State couldn't get its run game going, as freshman running back Parrish Fisher was limited to 13 yards, and junior running back Thomas Clayton had only eight yards on 12 carries.

♦ The Wildcats' offensive line has been decimated by injuries so far this season. Projected starting center freshman Ryan Schmidt broke his ankle and is done for the year. The Wildcats also back lost-up tackle junior Michael Frieson to a trom ACL. Three other members of the line have been injured during the first four games, but are all expected to play tomorrow.

KEY TO VICTORY
If Thomas Clayton and Parish Fisher are effective, Kansas will have a tough game ahead. The Kansas defense ranks fifth in the country in rush defense, but if the Wildcats can find a way to neutralize the Jayhawks' biggest strength, they'll have the Governor's Cup come Saturday.
OU
Oklahoma vs. Texas
When: Saturday, noon
Where: Dallas
TN
Why: Texas is hoping to finally stop the Sooners after five years of defeats. This appears to be its best shot at winning the Red-River Shootout. Texas enters the game 4-0, a record that includes an emotional road victory at Ohio State and a conference-winning win last week at Missouri. Oklahoma is 2-2. Running back Adrian Peterson left the game with a foot injury last week against Kansas State. Peterson is expected to be back, but not at full strength.
Texas Tech at Nebraska
When: Saturday, 3 p.m.
Where: Lincoln, Neb.
ATM
Why: Nebraaska is looking to become the top team it was a decade ago, when it won the National Championship in 1984, 1995 and 1997. The Cornhuskers have started 4-0 and beat nationally-ranked Iowa State at home last weekend in double overtime. Quarterback Zac Taylor has thrown for 830 yards and three touchdowns this season. Texas Tech defeated Kansas at home. Quarterback Cody Hodges the Tech offense with 1,450 passing yards and 13 touchdowns. Tech is ranked 13th in the country. The last time these two played, Texas Tech came away with a 70-10 victory.
When: Saturday, 6 p.m.
Where: Boulder, Colo.
Texas A&M at Colorado
8 STATE
Why? This game could be Colorado's best shot at winning the conference. Colorado got off to a good start last weekend, beating Oklahoma State on the road 34-0. Colorado football coach Gary Barnett seems to have finally taken control of his team after a problematic off-season. The Angies go to Colorado after winning a tough home game last weekend against Baylor. Texas A&M is paced by its quarterback Reggie McNeal who has more than 1,000 total yards.
Missouri at Oklahoma State
When: Saturday, 1:05 p.m.
Where: Stillwater, Okla.
Why: This could be the ugliest game of the weekend. Both teams find themselves struggling and trying to find their identities. Missouri's offense has been solid so far, averaging 43.7 points and 554 yards per game. But its defense has struggled in the first four games, including letting up 51 points last weekend against Texas. Oklahoma Stake can be in for a disappointing season. It dropped its home conference opener last weekend to Colorado. Freshman Bobby Reid has taken over at quarterback and has only thrown one touchdown during the season.
Baylor at Iowa State
When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
Where: Ames, Iowa
BU BURSA STATE
Why: Both teams look to rebound from tough losses last weekend. Baylor lost to Texas A&M in overtime, and Iowa State dropped a double overtime thriller at Nebraska. Last year, Iowa State escaped with a 26-25 victory at Baylor. That victory enabled Iowa State to go on to a bowl game. For Baylor, it was just another moral victory. Both teams will look to end their "moral-victory streaks" and tally a real victory.

APARTMENT FIRE
Bodies found, cause of fire remains unknown
Members of Lawrence- Douglas County Fire and Medical and the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives work Sunday to remove the body of another victim of the Boardwalk Apartment fire in the 500 block of Fireside Road, off Sixth Street. Investigators found what they believed was a body Sunday morning, and located a second in the afternoon. The cause of the fire remained unknown Sunday.

A fire early Friday morning at Boardwalk Apartments left several buildings destroyed and many residents homeless. Fire departments from Lenexa and Olathe, as well as emergency medical units from Johnson County, came to Lawrence to assist in what was deemed a four-alarm fire.

Investigators found Sunday what seems to be at least two bodies buried in the rubble of the Boardwalk Apartments, which burned in a massive fire Friday morning.
The bodies will be sent to medical examiners in Topeka for verification, said Mark Bradford interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department.
Investigators worked all day Sunday with five dogs from a Missouri search and rescue unit and one dog from the Kansas State Fire Marshal, Bradford said. The dogs located another potential body before a press conference held at the site at 2 p.m. Sunday. Rescue workers were seen carrying away what appeared to be a body about 4 p.m. Sunday.
"The goal of investigators is to find the cause and specific origin."

Nearly 1,000 art aficionados came out in full force Saturday evening for the Red Balloon To-Do. Eight Lawrence businesses and residences, such as an apartment at 846 1/2 Indiana St., opened their doors for the event.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
More than 1000 red balloons covered the streets of Downtown Lawrence Saturday night from spectators attending the Red Balloon To-Do art show.
Red Balloon To-Do gave local artists an opportunity to display their work for an evening at Lawrence businesses and residents' homes.
Attendees were encouraged to donate a dollar for the price of admission, and in exchange, they received a red balloon. The balloon granted admission to every venue and the money will be used for next year's show.
Jill Kleinhans, owner of Olive Gallery and Art Supply, 15 East Eighth St., has coordinated the Red Balloon ToDo since 2003. She said the idea for it began when a few friends who were a part of the Lawrence Art Collective
a group of local artists who shared space in the Grimshaw Gallery approached her with the idea of a community-wide art event.
"It's all about getting people active," Kleinhans said. "Whether you are an established artist or you just do蛋糕 in coffee shops, it's a way for people to show their work and socialize with like-minded artists."
Thomas Czar, Albuquerque,
N.M., senior, said he enjoyed
seeing the balloons.
As for the balloon aspect, Kleinhans said it was just a creative alternative to buying tickets.
"It adds charm to the event."

This was her first time ever showing her works in public. She said the event provided her a great opportunity as an artist.
Angela Kerner, Hutchison sophomore, had her paintings displayed in the Olive Gallery.
"This is definitely a good starting point for me," Kerner said. "People can see my work and contact me and I'll just go from there. Now I'm going to try to look into where else I can show my work."
Red Balloon To-Do had eight venues this year.
Last year it had only six. More than 160 artists showed their work at the event, which doubled the number from two years ago.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Oct. 12, 1983 - "The Day After"
A special screening of the controversial made-for-TV movie "The Day After," which was filmed in Lawrence, was displayed in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The movie, which took place in the Lawrence and Kansas City areas, explored the scenario of a nuclear holocaust, from the time of impact to the shattered lives and futures of the survivors.
More than 2,000 people, comprised mostly of local residents and students, attended the screening, according to the KU History Project's Web site.
Susan Emmanuel from the Museum for Broadcast Communications wrote on the museum's Web site that the movie took its place as "one of the biggest media events of the 1980s." Chuck Twardy, columnist for The Lawrence Journal-World, commented, "The town William Quantrill burned down has become the city ARC blew up."
Quentin Burns taught us how the city rose up. Time Magazine wrote, the film increased its realism by actually filming in Lawrence, rather than "upon some back lot of Warner Brothers." Students and residents worked as extras, while scenes from the movie were set in Allen Fieldhouse, Memorial Stadium and the Spencer Museum of Art, according to the History Project's Web site.
Some critics denounced the movie's anti-war stance, saying it indirectly supported nuclear disarmament. Others said it sensitualized nuclear devastation or else failed to portray its full impact. Still more commentators praised the movie for its pacifist message, and the newspaper reported it was shown in 40 countries.
Controversy erupted when the movie debuted on ABC Nov. 20, 1983. The Lawrence Journal-World estimated nearly 100 million people watched the movie.
The film, winner of two Emmy awards, remains the largest film production Lawrence has experienced, the newspaper reported in 2003. The "Kansas Alumni Magazine" in October 1983 called movie "the largest portrayal of human suffering in Allen Fieldhouse since last season's K-State game."
Al Oerter, 1958 KU alumnus,
won his fourth gold medal in

Games in Mexico City.
Oct. 15, 1968 - Olympic Stardom
Named among ESPN's top 100 athletes of the century, Oerter tossed his way into world history by winning four gold medals in the same event at consecutive Olympic Games. The Kansas City Star reported in 1976 that he entered the games every time as an outsider who people often overlooked

He obtained the first of his medals in 1956 in Melbourne, Australia. The University Daily Kansan reported in 1999 that he threw the discus 184 feet and 10-and-a-half inches on his first
throw, setting a world record. The resulting exhilaration inspired him to try to win four more, Oerter told the Kansan.

While he was the first person to win four consecutive gold medals, Oerter never won a fifth. He practiced to compete in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but President Jimmy Carter announced the United States would boycott the games that year after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Undeterred, Oerter continued to train for the 1984 Olympics, but an injured tendon prevented him from competing, according to the History Project's Web site.
The Kansan named him the fifth best athlete in the University of Kansas' history. One of 20 charter members in the Olympic Hall of Fame, he now lives with his wife, Cathy, in Ft. Myers. Fla.

Commission may drive off parking
City officials are considering establishing a no-parking zone on the west side of Lawrence Avenue from 150 feet north of Bob Billings Parkway to Applegate Court. Local residents are concerned because many of the townhomes on the street have no driveway and use the street for parking.
LAWRENCE
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Residents of the Applegate at the Orchards neighborhood will find out Tuesday whether they will be able to continue to park on part of Lawrence Avenue in west Lawrence.
The City Commission, in a 5-0 vote, directed city staff to draft an ordinance outlawing parking on the west side of Lawrence Avenue beginning 150 feet north of Bob Billings Parkway and continuing to Applegate Court. The commission will vote on the ordinance at Tuesday's meeting. Parking is already forbidden on the east side of the street.
Mary-Elizabeth Debicki, a neighborhood resident who spoke to the commission, said the problem was where Lawrence Avenue curved.
Garrett Peterson, Osawatomi senior, lives on Lawrence Avenue. He said he parked on the west side of the street instead of in his driveway because he must move his car every time his roommates wanted to leave.
She said cars heading south sometimes swerved to avoid hitting parked cars. She said she has often seen glass on the road and has witnessed two accidents.
"We all have different class schedules," Peterson said. "It would be inconvenient if all of us had to park in the driveway, or up the road. This side of the street isn't even that full."
Neighborhood residents initially presented their case to the Traffic Safety Commission on June 6, but were denied an ordinance because of concerns about student parking and speeding.
"We are scared about cars coming from both directions at the same time," Debicki said. "The fact that the road is curved really makes drivers blind to what is coming."
Carol Jean Brune, the commission's chairwoman at the time, said with three or four college students sharing one house, their cars cannot be accommodated without street parking.
Brune said the parked cars were useful because they slowed speeders. She said with less roadway, drivers slowed down when a car was passing from the other direction and because of concerns for pedestrians.
"You never know when someone is going to be walking out from behind a parked car," she said. "You do not want to hit pedestrians, or most of all a child."
Debicki said she thought the Traffic Safety Commission was not familiar with the street's terrain. She said she didn't think cars would increase their speeds
if parking were banned because there was a sign in place advising drivers take the curve at 25 mph.
After the Traffic Safety Commission denied the association an ordinance, residents wanted the case forwarded to the City Commission during the school year, when parking would be more of a problem.
Debicki said the bylaws of the neighborhood association said cars are meant to be parked in a garage and after a garage in a driveway. She said students had enough room to keep their cars off the street.
Schauner said he thought the neighbors made a good case that banning parking would make the street safer. He said parked cars pushed drivers into the middle of the street or the other lane.
At last week's City Commission meeting, only Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger was not in favor of passing the ordinance. He said he shared the Traffic Safety Commission's concern about increased speeding on the street.
City Commissioner David
"What took me over the edge was the curb." Schauner said. "I have driven down that street a number of times, and drivers can't see oncoming traffic well."
The case is now on the commission's consent agenda for the Tuesday meeting. All items on the agenda are considered and enacted in one motion.
No discussion will take place unless it a commissioner or member of the public requests it. If so, the item will be removed from the agenda and considered separately.

'Wallace & Gromit' debut at No.1 with $16.1 million
BY DAVID GERMAIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The airplane thriller "Flightplan," which had held the top box-office slot the previous two weekends, slipped to second place with $10.8 million, lifting its total to $60.9 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
LOS ANGELES — Clay paid off at the box office for "Wallace & Gromit; The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." The clay-animated family film debuted as the top weekend movie with $16.1 million.
Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette and Shirley MacLaine's tale of squabbling sisters, "In Her Shoes," which opened at No. 3 with $10 million.
A rush of new wide releases filled out the top five, led by
Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey's sports-gambling flick "Two for the Money" debuted in fourth place with $8.4 million.
"The Gospel" — starring Boris Kodjose as an R&B singer making peace with his faith and his estranged father, a church bishop — had a surprisingly strong opening of $8 million, placing fifth for the weekend. The movie played in just 969 theaters, barely one-fourth of
the cinema count for "Wallace and Gromit."
The restaurant comedy "Waiting," with Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris and Luis Guzman, premiered at No. 7 with $5.7 million.
Overall revenues slipped, with the top 12 movies taking in $87.8 million, down 10 percent from the same weekend last year.
"The Squid and the Whale," starring Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney in a comic drama of a family's bitter divorce, grossed $124,000 in four theaters.
Two acclaimed movies opened strongly in limited release. Actor-director George Clooney's "Good Night, and Good Luck," featuring David Strathairn as legendary broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, took in $420,000 in 11 theaters.
"Audiences are evidently paying attention to critical raves and really showing up in big numbers for these independent movies that have been very well-reviewed," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.

"Wallace & Gromit" was based on three short films made for British television about the adventures of a cheese-loving inventor and his canine pal.

"I'd hope they'd plan in advance." Love said about students asking for help before tests. "But a lot of students just want help one time."
The program helps students find tutors, but the participants arrange schedules and payments. Love said tutors charged an average of about $10 an hour, but some tutors helped for free.
Math tutors are the most frequently requested, Love said.
Margaret Grattan, Segovia, Spain, sophomore, tutors for Math 122, Calculus II, with the KU Tutoring services. Now students are worried about Tuesday's midterm exam.
Other math classes with upcoming tests have also seen increased demand for tutors. The number of students needing help in algebra classes increased from 10 to 15 students to 30 or 40 students, said Katie Wetterhus, Morton, Ill., junior.
The rising demand led the Senate tutoring program to increase its recruiting efforts. Love told senators about the demand for tutors in committee meetings last week, called students and sent e-mails to find more
Love said Senate caught up with current demand and was working on adding tutors to the list.

Thirty-two KU students lived in the building and all but one had been accounted for as of 5 p.m. Friday, according to a press release from University Relations. The missing woman, Nicole Bingham, Wichita senior, is a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority.
Eighteen people were injured and a 400-by-40-foot building was destroyed after the fire Friday morning at Boardwalk Apartments. Firefighters arrived at 1:25 a.m. and had the blaze under control by 4:30 a.m. Two people were transported to Kansas City-area hospitals because of injuries.
Also, family members of Jose Gonzalez, 50, who lived in the complex, said the man did not show up for work Friday morning. His car was parked in the parking lot. Gonzalez' sister said
More people could have been in the complex Friday morning in addition to the 87 who live there, but there was no evidence to suggest that was true Sunday afternoon, Bradford said.
Jaret Flores, Omaha sophomore, was picking up his mail from a box across the street from the burned building Saturday afternoon. Flores owns only the clothes he was wearing and a car with a melted bumper, which he can't remove until the fire investigation is concluded. He said he didn't have renter's insurance.

There are some things he can't buy back: the grades and homework of students he teaches in College Algebra and pictures of friends stored on his computer.
"It's going to suck having to buy back some of the stuff I lost." Flores said.
Student housing has a few open spaces, but is relatively full, Tuttle said. Managers of Boardwalk Apartments have been trying to help students find housing as well, he said.
Flores said he was staying with friends in Templin Hall and planned to move in with friends at Meadowbrook Apartments.
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean, said Boardwalk Apartments' management company emailed the University a list of students who lived in the complex.
Ken Stoner, director of KU Student Housing, said most of the students had been accommodated by friends, family or vacancies in other units at the Boardwalk Apartments. If any students need housing, officials at student

Marso starts job at newspaper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BASEHOR — Nearly 18 months after bacterial meningitis almost claimed his life, Andy Marso has started work as a part-time sports reporter and columnist for a weekly newspaper.
Marso contracted the disease when he was just weeks from graduating at the top of his journalism class at the University of Kansas. Toxins the disease released in his body destroyed skin tissue and forced doctors to amputate parts of his feet and all his toes and fingers, except his right thumb.
After months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, the 24-year-old drove himself to Lawrence from his parents' home in Minnesota so he could begin his job at the Basehor Sentinel. His parents worried about everything from how he would take off the gas cap to whether he would be able to extract a single credit card from his wallet.
Marso was undaunted.

No pencils for Rader
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Prosecutors want to make sure BTK serial killer Dennis Rader cannot get items in prison — even markers or crayons — that he could use to draw or write anything that would satisfy his sexual fantasies.
That and other possible conditions of his incarceration will be taken up at a hearing Wednesday at the El Dorado Correctional Facility. The proceeding will also involve questions about restitution, defense fees and disposition of evidence.
Prosecutors have also asked that Rader be barred from seeing or listening to news reports regarding his murders and prohibited from making audio or visual recordings other than for law enforcement purposes.
Rader was sentenced Aug. 18 to 10 consecutive life sentences for a string of murders that terrified Wichita for decades. But Judge Gregory Wailer did not rule at that time on the prosecution's request for additional restrictions on how Rader spends his years behind bars.
Kansas law at the time that the murders were committed allows the judge to make recommendations on the conditions of a defendant's imprisonment to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
BTK — which stands for "bind, torture and kill" — is the name Rader gave himself in taunting messages to police and the media that started in 1974. After years of silence, he resurfaced last year with communications to the media that ultimately ended in his arrest in February.
He pleaded guilty at a nationally televised hearing in which he gave chillingly detailed descriptions of stalking and killing his victims.
Georgia Cole, spokeswoman for the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office, declined to disclose the amount of restitution prosecutors were seeking until it is presented at Wednesday's hearing. She also said the district attorney's office was not going to comment before then about the prison conditions it is seeking.
The prosecution's request for the more restructive incarceration — first presented at Rader's sentencing in August — surprised defense attorneys at the time, who told the judge they had not had time to research the issue.
The hearing is being held at the El Dorado prison primarily because of security concerns over transporting Rader back to Wichita, as well as the convenience of holding it in the most expeditious manner. Cole said.

APARTMENT FIRE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A fire that destroyed a Lawrence apartment building also claimed a stockpile of Kansas musical history.
Bill Lee, president of the Kansas Music Hall of Fame, said he lost around 2,000 albums from Kansas and Kansas City bands, about 4,000 singles and several hundred CDs and tapes. He also had rare live recordings from the late 1950s to today.
"Since the Hall of Fame doesn't have a brick-and-mortar location, everything was at my place," Lee said. "I've long felt that I had the largest collection of Kansas music and memorabilia. I never met anybody who had more, anyway. And it's all gone."

On Saturday, Mark Bradford, interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical department, said three people remained unaccounted for after the blaze, which left 87 people without homes, including 32 students at the University of Kansas.
About 40 investigators were working Saturday, interviewing witnesses and trying to find the three missing people. Bradford declined to release information about the three.
Also on Saturday, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said it would join the investigation.
Mike Boxler, special agent in charge of ATF's Kansas City Field Division, said his office is simply providing additional expertise and laboratory resources and its involvement should not be taken as an indication that authorities
suspect arson or foul play was involved.
Investigators will not be able to begin shifting through the scene until Sunday, Bradford said, because of concerns about structural damage.
Lee, who was at work when the fire began, said his apartment was a total loss.
"Over the years I just managed to grab onto all the things I could." the 58-year-old said, "Former booking agents, for example, who were cleaning out their basements and attics would give me what they had. So I had old flwers and photos."
He said an 8-by-10 glossy autographed photo of the four Blue Things is what he will miss the most.
"One of the members died in 93, so he's not going to be signing any more pictures," Lee said. "Life goes on. It was just stuff. I've lost the important people in my life this year to cancer and other things. I
miss them a whole lot more than I miss stuff."
The first Kansas Music Hall of Fame induction was held last January. Music artists The Blue Things, Brewer & Shipley, Chesmann/Chesmann Square, Mike Finnigan, The Fabulous Flippers, Kansas, The Red Dogs, Rodney and the Blazers and Big Joe Turner were honored with a ceremony at Liberty Hall.
The organization had just sent out a news release last week discussing the potential 2006 nominees.
"We'll keep going. Voting is under way right now for next year's inductees. We're going to have a ceremony at Liberty Hall in the spring," Lee said.
"As far as my contributions go, it means going back to square one. I need to start scouring garage sales and flea markets again and see what I can find."
HOLIDAY
Theme parks rake in frightening profits
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — Dave Surgan dropped into a crouch, then leaped into the air and let out an eardrum-rupturing vein.
Halloween Horror Nights, now in its 15th year.
His imitation of a crazed monkey during a recent audition at Universal Studios Orlando helped him land a job frightening some of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who will come to be scared, be very scared, at the theme park resort's multimillion-dollar Halloween celebration this October.
"Once, they had to call the paramedics because a girl started hyperventilating," said Surgan, 22, who in the past five years has worked as a crazed chain saw operator and a mutated dinosaur at the park's monthlong
Not so long ago, Halloween was merely a one-day holiday, observed primarily by kids dressed in fake blood, plastic teeth, ballerina tutus or superhero costumes, who traipsed from door-to-neighborhood door, dragging pillowcases full of candy.
Not anymore. Over the past five years or so, the nation's $11 billion amusement park industry has appropriated the holiday as its own, helping transform Halloween into a monthlong celebration.
"If there are still theme parks out there that aren't celebrating it, they need to get their heads examined," said James Zoltak, editor of Amusement Business, a trade publication. "It's a mon-
eymaker, almost universally."
Although the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions keeps no figures, industry experts estimate that millions of people go to Halloween celebrations at parks around the nation, generating tens of millions of dollars in extra revenue for them.
For Terri Lacroix, the appeal of the Halloween celebrations comes from the adrenaline rush she gets anticipating where the next grotesquely masked figure is going to jump out at her in the confined space of a haunted house.
"I don't like roller coaster rides but I love scary movies. This is my adrenaline rush," said Lacroix, 35, an Orlando catering manager, as she exited "The Skool" haunted house at
Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.
Nationwide, Halloween has grown by leaps and bounds as a holiday, and this year consumers were expected to generate $3.3 billion in Halloween spending, according to the National Retail Federation. Celebrations also have spread abroad to amusement parks in places, such as Mexico and Brazil, without strong Halloween traditions.
This year, the nation's theme and amusement parks are counting on successful Halloween celebrations more than ever as a season of great promise in the spring gave way to what is expected to be flat attendance for the year because of the hurricanes and high gas prices.

BUILT FORD TOUGH
The writing on the wall
Many people get annoyed when racism and racial issues are brought up in public. Some believe that they are not pressing matters anymore, therefore they do not need to be discussed. At this point, discussion won't do the trick, there needs to be more action taken on behalf of this University.
This past weekend someone wrote derogatory terms and racial slurs on University of Kansas property in permanent marker. I heard about the graffiti last Monday and went to see for myself.
There it was on the stairs across from Anschutz Library (near the Underground). As I looked at the scene about 10 other African-American students gathered around. We stood there stunned for a moment, but I don't think the graffiti surprised any of us. I was shocked when I realized that the markings were reported on Saturday and the graffiti was still there on Monday. I don't think any University official made a quick effort to remove it from the stairs.
If those parents had seen it, would they have had reservations about letting their children attend the University?
Several other students and I rubbed our feet back and forth over the area to see if we could remove the markings to no avail. Students had to look at it all day Monday until someone finally crossed it out. About 10 feet from where I stood prospective students and their parents walked by not realizing that if they looked just a little to their right they would see these offensive markings.

NAACP, went to the site on Saturday evening when he was told about the situation. He immediately e-mailed the chancellor, the vice provost and the dean of students hoping they would help students and other officials resolve the markings.
Frank DeSalvo, interim dean of students, looked at the graffiti Monday morning. He did not see the markings on the stairs, but instead discovered something else.
"There had been chalking on the walls around the Underground that had racial slurs. An Underground staff member had already washed it off," said DeSalvo.
In two days' time — and in more than two places on campus — someone wrote racially derogatory words. It's time we start taking this matter seriously.
It is unfortunate that these acts occur on this campus. In response to one of my earlier articles, someone called into the Free For All and asked, "Why doesn't Gina Ford provide solutions to racism instead of just bitching about it?"
"What's the solution? Don't be a bigot," said Sonya Heath, Corrales, N.M., senior.
What is a true solution to racism? There is not a quick fix, because this country has been struggling with the issue for a long time. But raising awareness is a start.
For people who would like to
help make a change in our community, the KU NAACP extends an open invitation to its Oct. 25 meeting in the Kansas Union.
Regardless of whether students believe racism still exists, it is still very much alive in this country. You don't have to be black or a minority to recognize that, but, many people don't like to admit it.
What can we do at this point? Many people think that these images and words, written on school grounds in permanent marker, may have been trying to send a positive message explaining why the "n-word" is wrong.
Regardless of the intended context, that word is never acceptable to use. It is offensive not only to African Americans, but many others on campus as well. If this person had a strong statement to make protesting the use of the "n-word." Brown said, the Black Student Union and NAACP would have been happy to listen and help organize an awareness event.
Positive or negative, use of the word is unacceptable and should be treated as such.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey, of the KU Public Safety Office, said the graffiti would be treated as criminal damage to property. The public safety office is attempting to investigate this crime, but if anyone has information, he or she should contact the public safety office at (785) 864-5900, or Crime Stoppers at (785) 864-8888. People with vital information may be eligible for a cash award through Crime Stoppers.

LAYIN' DOWN THE LAWSON
The Renthouse Forum
Freshman year, you could find my friends and I frequenting places like the Halfway House and the Pink House just so I could see bands play. I remember one night fairly vaguely.
Iknocked a vacuum cleaner over in the kitchen, then stood crammed in a corner as I watched Hook and Ladder play. We sat on the front steps, feeling a little too "unscene" to hang with the scenerists. We never thought about actually living in these houses, or what a nightmare the maintenance would be.
When I returned from England and my roommate and I began looking for something central, our market was in the Oread neighborhood.
One fateful night, on our last attempts to find something, we came across a small ad in the Lawrence Journal-World. I made an appointment for the next day and while sitting on the steps, something seemed all too familiar to me. The prospective house was the Pink House, a piece of house show history. When we signed the contract it was like a dream come true.
I love you
Or was it? There were holes patched with cardboard, petrified rats in the ceiling, black mold, a 10-year-old air conditioner, a clogged up grease trap, and a man in the basement who howled. It looks like they took a motor home, dropped it on top of our house, and turned it into an apartment with a

rotting deck. Not to mention this is the only house that I've ever lived in that you have to spray for bugs weekly.
And now, they are fixing a problem that can easily be solved by a sump pump by pouring cement into a crack. Even if the maintenance men had responded to our requests for repair, I am not sure that I would welcome them into
And we aren't the only ones having these problems. Too many students in the "Ghetto" run into similar issues. Black mold, rotten porches, ghastly temperatures, petrified rats? Low rent with lots of problems. The sad thing is that could be fixed. Maybe it's just because I am the daughter of a handyman but I think our biggest issue here is that the maintenance men are only after quick fixes. When our toilet wasn't running properly, they came in and bent a paper clip to suffice for a part. When our ten-year-old window unit wasn't working right, they came in cleaned it twice before it broke down. They drilled a hole through the floor in the upstairs apartment through our ceiling twice.
the house.
We chain the doors when we see them coming. We are afraid that they will cause more damage than good, and we would rather keep our leaky ceilings and low rent. These quick fixes have caused only further damage to our apartment and they are, what I think, the reason why so many of these houses have to be completely renovated. But because the means must justify the end, the rent is hiked up to cover the costs of construction, hence the reason rent prices are going up in the Oread neighborhood. If the repairmen would fix only the problems properly instead of trying to save the management a few bucks, then we would not have to worry about complete remodels and could keep our affordable living. But really we would not have it any other way. We like "slumming it."
Who knows, maybe when we move out they will put a fence around our house, pull off the pink-stripped siding, caulk the cracks in the windows, replace the splintering wood floors and liberate the rodents hiding in our ceilings. But I sure hope not for the sake of future Oread renters. Apartments like ours keep the rent affordable for college students. And not to mention the location is to die for.

PROFILE
Wildcat fan defects, dons Jayhawk gear
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
For more than 40 years, Terry Dahl bled Wildcat purple. He was born into a family filled with Kansas State fans and graduates. When it came time to choose a college, he had no choice but to attend his parents' alma mater. After college, he held season tickets to K-State football games for 14 years.
At Saturday's Kansas vs. Kansas State football game in Manhattan Terry sat eight rows up in one of the three sections allotted for Kansas fans. Wearing a white Kansas shirt that said, "Jayhawks are born, not made. Finally I discovered myself. KU #1," a Jayhawk sticker, a Kansas hat and jacket, Terry cheered on the Jayhawks.
Jayhawks fan Terry Dahl watches the end of the game Saturday in Manhattan. Dahl, a Kansas State alumnus who was a KSU football season-ticket holder for 14 years, converted to love of the crimson and blue. His wife, Beth, graduated from Kansas, and her parents are Kansas basketball season ticket holders.
It used to be that the only time Terry could be found wearing Jayhawk attire was when he lost a bet over a Kansas vs. Kansas State athletic event to his wife, Beth, a Kansas alumna and avid Kansas fan.
For years they put small wagers on the rivalry games between their teams. Once Terry had to take a picture hugging Big Jay for losing a bet.
Beth doesn't have to win a bet anymore to get her husband to cheer for the jayhawks. About a year ago, Terry converted.

his passion for Kansas.
"I think I had always admired Kansas a little bit even though I was a huge Wildcat fan." Terry said. "But after I married my wife and I started reading up on Kansas, I really started to like them."

"I wasn't at the game, but I was very emotionally into that game watching it on TV", Terry said. "I really fell in love with KU emotionally that day, because of the heart and desire they left on the field that day even though they lost. They lost on a bad call at the end. Usually I root inwardly when rooting for teams. That particular day was different."
Terry said his conversion was gradual, but it was during last year's Kansas football game against Texas that Terry realized

There was a steady progression of Terry's enthusiasm toward Kansas. Terry said one of the reasons was simple: the success of Kansas basketball. Beth's parents, who are Kansas season-ticket holders, have taken Terry and Beth to Kansas basketball games for years. Terry said the atmosphere at the games made him realize how great Kansas fans were.
"I was always really impressed with the atmosphere in Allen Fieldhouse," Terry said. "And it's hard not to be a KU basketball fan. I'm not saying I'm a fair-weather fan, but with KU's dominance in basketball, my enjoyment of that was part of the conversion."
Another reason for Terry's attraction to Kansas was the University's high academic ratings.
"He gets this magazine that ranks colleges and KU is always ranked really high among the other universities," Beth said.
Terry said if he and Beth ever had children he would want them to attend college at Kansas.
"Since I think KU is better, I would want my kids to be Jayhaws." Terry said.
It's not like he doesn't like K-State anymore. He just likes Kansas more. When the two teams play, he will be rooting for the Jayhawks from now on. Terry said
Terry started off the New Year with his big announcement. On Jan. 28, 2005, Terry sent out an e-mail to all of his close friends and family declaring that he was a Kansas fan.
For some people, an e-mail might not be necessary, but for the Dahls—a family divided it was essential.
"I was really nervous about telling people," Terry said. "I had rooted for K-State all my life, and to suddenly announce that I was going to be a Jayhawk was something I was really nervous about."
Terry has gotten a great deal of flack from his family, the Wildcat supporters, while Beth's family joke that he finally came to his senses.
his conversion, Terry said she had a large influence. He said his perception of Kansas would have been different if it weren't for her.
"I guess I was brainwashed, growing up to think that Kansas fans were snobby and rude." Terry said. "They are very nice and welcoming. They have adopted me into the KU family, which has meant a lot to me."
As for Beth's involvement in
Beth said she didn't think that she was influential in his decision.
"When we got married, he was still a Wildcat fan," Beth said. "He didn't hate KU, but he rooted for K-State. I don't think I did anything to do with him becoming a Kansas fan."

"I was so shocked," Beth said.
"He told me to go check my e-mail, that there was something he wanted me to read. When I saw the e-mail, I was so surprised."
Saturday was a big moment in Terry's conversion. It was the first time he attended a Kansas vs. K-State game in Manhattan as a Jayhawks fan.
"To be honest, I am really uncomfortable. I didn't get much sleep (the night before). Going into my alma mater and wearing KU clothes and rooting for KU. I don't know if I can do this again next year," Terry said.
Sitting in his aisle seat in the Jayhawks section, separated
from K-State fans by only some concrete stairs, Terry did not look a bit out of place. If you didn't know him, you would probably think he was just one of the of Kansas faithful who made the trip down I-70 to cheer for the Jayhawks.
A while back, a friend of the Dahls gave them a wooden Jayhawk and a wooden Wildecat, the kind that people put in their living rooms or front yards so that visitors know where their college sports loyalty lie.
The Wildcat no longer adorns the Dahls 'living room.
"I put it downstairs in the basement with the rest of my K-State stuff." Terry said.

Herford deserves chance to shine
MANHATTAN — It's Luke, no wait a second, it's Barmann. Yeah, definitely Barmann. No, wait a second, it's Herford.
That's what I found myself saying every time the Kansas offense took the field on Saturday.
The whole time I was watching this amusing game of musical chairs, I wondered to myself
For those of who you don't know, Herford spent his time as a wide receiver. A year after being recruited as a quarterback, Kansas football coach Mangino decided to move Herford to wide receiver for the 2005 campaign.
Herford is the type of athlete coaches drool over. He has an enormous amount of athletic ability and is extremely talented. Now entering game six against Oklahoma this weekend. Herford is trying to play catch up and not only prepare for the opposing team's defense but also learn his own offense.
Mangino knows a lot more about football and his team than I do from sitting up at the press box and living the dream, but it looks like Mangino and his staff made a big mistake when they decided to move Herford.
—and whoever else would listen to me — what was freshman quarterback Marcus Herford doing this summer?
It's easy to second guess coaches and their decisions, but if Herford had been given the opportunity to succeed at quarterback and it didn't pan out, moving him to wide receiver would have been one thing. But Herford was never given that opportunity.

MANHATTAN — Missed opportunities.
One missed opportunity occurred on a drive where, thanks to freshman quarterback Marcus Herford, got the Jayhawks inside the Kansas State red zone, only to be dropped by junior quarterback Adam Barmann.
That's the simplest way to sum up Kansas' 12-3 loss to Kansas State on Saturday.
Herford entered the game in the fourth quarter. He was at the quarterback spot for only two plays, but one of those plays was a trick.
completion. Barmann was inserted immediately afterward, but fumbled on the 14-yard line three plays later with 10:06 remaining. The fumble negated any potential points for the Jayhawks.
After beginning the season a perfect 17-17 in scoring in the red zone, the Jayhawks either turned the ball over or lost yards when they reached the red zone at KSU Stadium. The Jayhawks mustered only three points from a field goal.
"We were one and four in the red zone today and we turned the ball over three times, which in a close, hard fought game you can't do that." Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said.
Herford passed the ball to junior cornerback Charles Gordon, who then threw it back to Herford from across the field. Herford then ran for a 34-vard
stopping their drives, Kansas held its in-state rival to just 182 yards of total offense, but it wasn't enough to keep the Sunflower Showdown Governor's Cup in Lawrence for a second straight year.
The Kansas defense, however, was able to give the offense good field position by getting pressure on Kansas State quarterbacks and
"I am proud of our defense," Mangino said. "I thought they played extremely, extremely well today. Played good, hard, physical football."

It's now painfully clear that Kansas football coach Mark Mangino is incapable of making sound ingame decisions and leading a Big 12 Conference team.
Time for KU to replace Mangino
With the help of his hapless offense, Mangino handed Kansas State a 12-3 victory on Saturday.
The Jayhawk defense did everything it could to defeat the Wildcats and deserved to win. The stats show Nick Reid and company allowed K-State 10 points. In reality, they gave up just seven points. Kansas State's field goal was the result of an unforced fumble deep in Kansas territory.
Time after time the defense gave Kansas good field position and kept Kansas State from adding to its score. Sadly, the defense's performance wasn't enough to overcome Mangino's awesomeness awful strategy.
His first mistake was starting junior quarterback Adam Barmann. Barmann simply can't move the offense. Mangino should have realized this during Kansas' first game against Florida Atlantic.
Barmann didn't play well again on Saturday. Mangino made the right call when he benched him after Kansas' third offensive series. But Mangino made the mistake of putting him back in during the most crucial point of the fourth quarter.
With 12:20 left in the game, Kansas was down only seven points.
Mangino made a great decision and replaced senior quarterback Brian Luke - who was playing badly - with freshman Marcus Herford.
On his second play, Herford threw the ball to junior cornerback Charles Gordon, who then passed back to Herford for a 24-yard gain.
Kansas gained 33 yards in two plays with Herford under center

Wildcat fan defects, dons Jayhawk gear

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
For more than 40 years, Terry Dahl bled Wildcat purple. He was born into a family filled with Kansas State fans and graduates. When it came time to choose a college, he had no choice but to attend his parents' alma mater. After college, he held season tickets to K-State football games for 14 years.
MONDAY. OCTOBER 10. 2005
At Saturday's Kansas vs. Kansas State football game in Manhattan Terry sat eight rows up in one of the three sections allotted for Kansas fans. Wearing a white Kansas shirt that said, "Jayhawks are born, not made. Finally I discovered myself. KU #1," a Jayhawk sticker, a Kansas hat and jacket, Terry cheered on the Jayhawks.
It used to be that the only time Terry could be found wearing Jayhawk attire was when he lost a bet over a Kansas vs. Kansas State athletic event to his wife, Beth, a Kansas alumna and avid Kansas fan.
For years they put small wagers on the rivalry games between their teams. Once Terry had to take a picture hugging Big Jay for losing a bet.
Beth doesn't have to win a bet anymore to get her husband to cheer for the Jayhawks. About a year ago, Terry converted.
Jayhawks fan Terry Dahl watches the end of the game Saturday in Manhattan. Dahl, a Kansas State alumnus who was a KSU football season-ticket holder for 14 years, converted to love of the crimson and blue. His wife, Beth, graduated from Kansas, and her parents are Kansas basketball season ticket holders.
"I think I had always admired Kansas a little bit even though I was a huge Wildcat fan." Terry said. "But after I married my wife and I started reading up on Kansas, I really started to like them."
Finally I Discovered Mysef KU#1
SUNDAY
Terry said his conversion was gradual, but it was during last year's Kansas football game against Texas that Terry realized
his passion for Kansas.
Rylan Howe/KANSAN
Finally I Discovered Mysef KU#1
"I wasn't at the game, but I was very emotionally into that game watching it on TV," Terry said. "I really fell in love with KU emotionally that day, because of the heart and desire left on the field that day even though they lost. They lost on a bad call at the end. Usually I root inwardly when rooting for teams. That particular day was different."
There was a steady progression of Terry's enthusiasm toward Kansas. Terry said one of the reasons was simple: the success of Kansas basketball. Beth's parents, who are Kansas season-ticket holders, have taken Terry and Beth to Kansas basketball games for years. Terry said the atmosphere at the games made him realize how great Kansas fans were.
"I was always really impressed with the atmosphere in Allen Fieldhouse," Terry said. "And it's hard not to be a KU basketball fan. I'm not saying I'm a fair-weather fan, but with KU's dominance in basketball, my enjoyment of that was part of the conversion."
Another reason for Terry's attraction to Kansas was the University's high academic ratings.
Terry said if he and Beth ever had children he would want them to attend college at Kansas.
"He gets this magazine that ranks colleges and KU is always ranked really high among the other universities."Beth said.
"Since I think KU is better, I would want my kids to be Jay-hawks." Terry said.
It's not like he doesn't like K-State anymore. He just likes Kansas more. When the two teams play, he will be rooting for the Jayhawks from now on, Terry said.
Terry started off the New Year with his big announcement. On Jan. 28, 2005, Terry sent out an e-mail to all of his close friends and family declaring that he was a Kansas fan.
For some people, an e-mail might not be necessary, but for the Dahls — a family divided — it was essential.
"I was really nervous about telling people," Terry said. "I had rooted for K-State all my life, and to suddenly announce that I was going to be a Jayhawk was something I was really nervous about."
Terry has gotten a great deal of flack from his family, the Wildcat supporters, while Beth's family joke that he finally came to his senses.
his conversion, Terry said she had a large influence. He said his perception of Kansas would have been different if it weren't for her.
"I guess I was brainwashed, growing up to think that Kansas fans were snobby and rude." Terry said. "They are very nice and welcoming. They have adopted me into the KU family, which has meant a lot to me."
Beth said she didn't think that she was influential in his decision.
"When we got married, he was still a Wildcat fan," Beth said. "He didn't hate KU, but he rooted for K-State. I don't think I did anything to do with him becoming a Kansas fan."
As for Beth's involvement in
else, Beth was surprised about Terry's switch from purple and white to crimson and blue.
"I was so shocked," Beth said.
"He told me to go check my e-mail, that there was something he wanted me to read. When I saw the e-mail, I was so surprised."
Coming a Kinks fall.
Perhaps more than anyone
Saturday was a big moment in Terry's conversion. It was the first time he attended a Kansas vs. K-State game in Manhattan as a Jawahra fan.
"To be honest, I am really uncomfortable. I didn't get much sleep (the night before). Going into my alma mater and wearing KU clothes and rooting for KU, I don't know if I can do this again next year," Terry said.

KANSAN SPORTSWITER
The Kansas softball team preserved its spotless fall record Sunday and defeated Johnson County Community College and Missouri Western to end the preseason.
The two victories gave the Jayhawks a perfect 10-0 record in the fall.
The Jayhawks began the day by pounding the Cavaliers from Johnson County, 5-1.
Freshman pitcher Valerie George allowed no runs and one hit through four innings before being replaced by senior pitcher Serena Settlemier. Settlemier finished off the Cavaliers, pitching three innings and allowing one run and one hit.
Freshman third baseman Val Chapple led the offense, going 2-3 from the plate with two RBIs.
"We're full of chemistry," Chapple said. "We all get along together and do stuff outside of the field. When you have good chemistry you play well."
Her two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning was all the Jayhawks needed to knock off the Cavaliers. Chapple said her teammates deserved credit for the victory.
Kansas had to fight harder to earn its second victory of the day, edging Missouri Western 1-0. Strong defense kept Missouri Western in the game, but its offense couldn't get going against the pitching combo of Settleier and junior Kassie Humphreys.

Settlemier struck out four and allowed no hits through two innings. Humphreys completed the no-hitter with nine strikeouts after relieving Settlemier in the third inning.
The pitching duel was interrupted in the fourth inning
when the Jayhawks scored the lone run of the game. Chapple ripped a pitch off the top of the left field wall in the bottom of the inning, narrowly missing her second home run of the day.
Senior shortstop Destiny Frankenstein quickly drove in Chapple with a single.
A couple of mistakes on the base paths later in the fourth inning kept the Jayhawks from adding to their lead.

Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said she was pleased with Chapple and had high expectations for her in the spring season.
Chapple said the fall season helped her ease into softball at the college level.
"I know the upperclassmen know what to expect, so this was a good amount for them," Chapple said. "I could always go for more."
"She's a gamer," Bunge said. "I think that she's definitely swung the bat maybe
what we've got in our freshmen. We also have played enough that we know what things we need to work on in the offseason."
The Jayhawks will kick off the spring season against Florida on Feb. 10 in the Wilson/Dimarini Tournament, in Houston.
Kassie Humphreys, junior pitcher, hits a single in Sunday's game against Missouri Western. Coach Tracy Bunge considers Humphreys the top returning pitcher from 2004 and is expected to contribute in the field and at the plate.
The Jayhawks will enjoy a week off before taking the field for more practice.
Bunge said she was satisfied with the team's performance in the fall season and looked forward to working with the players individually.
even a little bit better this fall than I thought she would."

NASCAR
Racing pessimist wins, hopes for more
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Mark Martin is probably NASCAR's best known pessimist.
As Martin raced toward a victory Sunday at Kansas Speedway that would keep his slim championship hopes alive, he couldn't shake the feeling that something would keep him from Victory Lane.
Tell us your news, Contact Kelli Robinett or Eric Sorrentine
at 864-848 or sports@kansan.com
"We got the lead in the first half of the race and just stayed out front and that's a formula for heartbreak in my world because, more often than not, something goes wrong," Martin said.
Not this time.
Teammate Greg Biffle did give the 46-year-old Martin a late scare, but the veteran racer remained out front for the 35th victory of his career. It was Martin's first points victory — he did win an exhibition event in Charlotte in May — since June 2004 at Dover.
To do it, Martin had to hold off his Roush Racing teammates.
Biffle, another of the 10 drivers in the Chase, passed Stewart for second place 30 laps from the end of the 267-lap Banquet 400 and went after Martin, cutting a lead of about 20 car-lengths to less than half of that.
But the last laugh might belong to Tony Stewart, who finished fourth and extended his Chase lead from four points to 75. It was Stewart's 15th top 10 finish in the last 16 races and, more important, his third in the first four events of this year's 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup championship.
Martin and Biffle led a team sweep of the top three spots and another Roush driver, Matt Kenseth, finished fifth.
WOMEN'S GOLF
But Martin was able to hold on, leading Biffle and Carl Edwards to the finish line. Martin jumped from ninth to seventh in the standings, 113 points behind Stewart with six races left in the Chase.
"That's too far back," said Martin, that pessimism showing up again. "We can go and win us some more and you never know. But it's going to be a lot harder now than it was going to be if we could have finished in the top 10 at Talladega."
Jayhawks defend Sunflower title
The Jayhawks won the tournament last year. It was the team's best finish at a tournament since 1990.
The Kansas women's golf team will play in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational today in Manhattan.
Big 12 Conference foes Kansas State and Nebraska, along with SMU, TCU and last year's runner up UTEP will headline the field of 13 schools.
Last week, Kansas finished second overall at The Battle at the Lake in Tulsa, Okla. Senior Chelsey Pryor won the tournament individually. Junior Amanda Costner and sophomore Annie Giangrosso also had top 10 individual finishes for the Jayhawks.
Today's tournament begins at 8:30 a.m. Teams will play the first 36 holes today and the next 18 tomorrow.

NFL
Broncos beat odds, Redskins
SPORTS
EDDIE PELLS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — The offense wasn't moving. Denver was facing overtime in the ice, bitter rain. Linebacker Ian Gold stuck his hand out, knocked down a pass, and with that, the Broncos showed that Washington isn't the only team that can find odd and ugly ways to win the close ones.
Gold knocked away Mark Brunell's 2-point conversion pass with 1.09 left Sunday to help Denver hang onto a 21-19 victory and keep the Redskins from adding yet another fantastic finish to their charmed season.
The problems that plagued Plummer didn't bother Brunell.
"Later in the season, you don't remember how they came, you only remember it's a win," said Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer, held to 92 yards passing in the rain drive.
He went 30-for-53 for 322 yards and drove the Redskins 94 yards for the touchdown — an 11-yard pass to Chris Cooley — that pulled Washington (3-1) within two.
On the conversion try, Brunell spotted David Patten open in the back of the end zone for a moment, but Gold came over and batted down the pass to prevent a possible overtime.
"You saw what his speed and athleticism will do," Broncos linebacker Al Wilson said. "It was a hell of a play."
The Redskins won their first three games by a total of six points, including a grinding 20-17 overtime win last week that came only after Seattle kicker Josh Brown hit the upright on the last play of regulation. This time, though, no great finish.
In the first quarter, Bell took a toss on fourth-and-1 and faked out Phillip Daniels en route to a 34-yard score. That stood as Bell's longest career run until the third quarter, when he burst through the Washington defense on a sweep for a 55-vard touchdown.
While Gold's big play saved the game, Tatum Bell made the difference for Denver (4-1) the rest of the time, rushing for 127 yards and two long scores to help the Broncos to a 21-10 lead.
"This one is going to hurt, it's supposed to hurt." Brunel said.
"I just have to keep working," said Bell, demoted behind Mike Anderson in training camp this year. "I don't want to just be a one-game wonder."

NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Sunday he expects tailback Adrian Peterson to be able to play in the Sooners' game next week at Kansas after being limited by a sprained right ankle during a loss to Texas on Saturday.

Seahawks break losing streak against Rams
NFL
ST. LOUIS — The toughest part of Joe Jurevicius' biggest day in the NFL had nothing to do with filling in as a starting wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. It was the bus ride past the hospital where his son died that was tough to take.
nine passes for 137 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's 37-31 victory Sunday over St. Louis. On the way to the game, the Seahawks drove past the hospital where Jurevicius' young son, Michael William, died of a neurogenetic disease in 2003.
Jurevicius caught a career-best
And the memories flooded back.
"This is a hard place for me to play," said Jurevicius, who
helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl a few weeks before.
The Seahawks snapped a tourgame losing streak against the Rams that included a first-round playoff loss last season. Shaun Alexander ran for 119 yards a pair of scores and Matt Hasselbeck threw for 316 yards and two touchdowns, and Seattle (3-2) moved into first place in the NFC west.
On Sunday, Jurevicius — who vaulted to the top of Seattle's depth chart because of injuries to Darrell Jackson and Bobby Engram — had his son in mind when he scored.
"This is not being said with any disrespect, but we expected to win this game," Hasselbeck said.
"On my touchdown, I wrote a little 'M' in the grass and threw the ball up to him," he said.

The 43-year-old Rocket came out of the bullpen to rescue the Astros and Chris Burke ended the longest postseason game in baseball history with a home run in the 18th inning, lifting Houston over the Atlanta Braves 7-6 Sunday and into the NL championship series.
The Braves took a five-run lead into the eighth, and were poised to send this first-round series back to Atlanta for a decisive Game 5 tonight. Instead, Lance Berkman hit a grand slam in the eighth and Brad Ausmus tied Game 4 with a two-out homer in the ninth barely beyond Gold Glove center fielder Andruw Jones' outstretched glove.
Then, at 6-all, the Braves and Astros began the real endurance test that wound up lasting 5 hours, 50 minutes.

Kansas came out flat the first game, losing 30-16. Hitting efficiency was -.103 with 11 errors committed in the first set.
Beachard said Nebraska's serving was a little tougher in the first game than in the second game.
The "Rufio" chant seemed to help the Jayhawks in game two when they defeated the Cornhuskers 50-26.
"Our passing was much better in game two." Bechard said.
Kansas' hit efficiency was a remarkable .395 against the best team in the country. Kansas had 19 kills en route to its first game won against Nebraska since Oct. 8, 2003. Senior Josi Lima said committing only four errors set the tone for game two and game three.
Kansas played Nebraska tough in game three, but fell 22-30.
"It was 20-20 in game three, and we got to make something happen," Bechard said. "There is a world of difference going up 2-1, then down 2-1. That's why Nebraska is great, that's why they are No. 1, and that's why we're going to keep working on what we need to work on."
Nebraska won the match after defeating Kansas, 30-15 in game four. Nebraska held Kansas to a .077 hit efficiency in the final game.
Kansas was missing integral team-member junior Jana Correa, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 5. Megan Hill, junior outside hitter, filled Correa's shoes, turning in six kills.
"Megan does a great job, finally getting her chance now." Emily Brown, sophomore opposite hitter/setter, said.
Brown said Correa was an inspirational, irreplaceable player.
Brown led the Jayhawk offense with 16 kills and a .333 hitting efficiency.
"I finally felt comfortable with what I was doing," she said.
Bechard said Brown's performance was what the team needed from Brown every night.
After a week off, Kansas will face Border Showdown rival Missouri on Oct. 15 in Columbia, Mo.
Nebraska finished the game with a hitting efficiency of .292 compared to Kansas' .071. Christina Houghtelling, Nebraska junior, led the Huskers with 14 kills.
The next home game is Oct.
19 against Iowa State.

points.
"I can sit here and say it is frustrating. It is frustrating. Our defense could have recovered a few fumbles in that first half that could have helped out our offense quite a bit," senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "I can't throw this on the offense's shoulders at all."
The defense was on the field the majority of the game. Kansas State won the time of possession battle 38 minutes to 22
The Kansas defense consistently set up good field position for the offense but it was only able to score once, on a 28-yard field goal in the second quarter to give the Jayhawks a 3-0 lead. They were the only points Kansas would put on the board all day, as its quarterback play continued to struggle.
Kansas senior linebacker Kevin Kane said the defense could have done more to help the team.
"It's a two-way game. You do your part and you hope the offense does theirs. If they are not doing their part you have to make plays for them," Kane said. "We were stressing trying to score on defense, and we just didn't get it done. The offense
Kane had a game high 14 tackles.
will pick it up. They are a little down right now, but they will swing it back."
The Kansas defense set the tone early when senior defensive end Charlton Keith sacked Kansas State quarterback Allen Webb. The sack forced the Wildcats to punt, but Gordon fumbled the return. Kansas State recovered the ball at the jayhawk 30-yard line. Kansas had two sacks on the day, but it was most impressive holding the Kansas State rushing attack to 35 vards on 45 carries.
The defense took back the ball three plays later when senior linebacker Nick Reid intercepted a Webb pass. Reid took it back 28 yards to the Kansas State 39-yard line. But the Kansas offense moved only three yards on the pxte drive and was forced to punt.
Mangino's decision to start Barmanno on Saturday against Kansas State did not jumpstart the already struggling offense. Mangino said the offense that had just 236 yards of total offense was not to be blamed on the quarterbacks. Mangino often switched among three quarterbacks.
The Kansas State defense set up its first score of the game when it recovered a Jon Cornish fumble on an option pass and later kicked a field goal to tie the game at three.
plays on offense across the board," Mangino said. "To blame it all on the quarterback would be unfair."
"We are not making enough
Mangino said that senior quarterback Brian Luke changed the play at the line of scrimmage to that option play. He said Kansas had a rule that no one could change the play to an option inside its own 25-yard line, yet Luke still changed the play.
"It's not an indictment of either quarterback," Mangino said. "We have 10 other guys out there."
The offense was unable to move the ball through the air as Barmann and Luke completed only four passes.
Kansas State drove 75 yards to take a 10-3 lead on an eight-yard touchdown pass from Evridge to wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Meanwhile, Luke fumbled in the end zone with less than four minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The fumble resulted in a safety, which gave the Wildcats a 12-3 lead and put the game out of reach.

Texas prepares for Colorado
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILLWATER, Okla. — After suffering through a five-game losing streak, Texas finally got the big win over Oklahoma for Mack Brown and in the process kept its undefeated season and national title hopes alive.
For the coach dogged for being unable to win "The Big One," that means a whole new string of games with added importance. After getting through the OU game undefeated for the first time since 1983, any loss for the Longhorns (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) would be devastating.
But before the second-ranked Longhorns can start crafting Rose Bowl dreams, they have to get through the rest of the Big 12.
Next up for Texas is a showdown with Colorado, which slammed a Big 12 Sole foe for the second straight week to become the clear front-runner in the North. The Buffs (4-1, 2-0) jumped on Texas A&M for 21 quick points and led by as many as five touchdowns on the way to a 41-20 win in Boulder.

"This is the best team we have had in a number of years and we
"I think that it is really important that we go in there with a little bit of a swagger and play with some confidence so we can go in there and make some things happen," CU wide receiver Evan Judge said.
And now, their meeting with Texas has potential to be an early preview of the conference championship game.
Texas Tech survived a scare at Nebraska to keep its undefeated start in order while spoiling the Cornhuskers' 4-0 start. But it took a bit of a miracle. Only after Nebraska nose tackle Le Kevin Smith intercepted a Cody Hodges pass and then coughed it back up did the 15th ranked Red Raiders manage to win on a last-minute score for the first time since 1998.
Beyond those front-runners, the rest of the league is disorder.

The Kansas defense held Kansas State to 12 points, which ended a 36-game streak of scoring 20 or more points.

Mark Simmons caught two passes, which moved him into a tie for second in all time in career catches. With two more, Simmons will move into a tie for first place all-time at Kansas.
charles Gordon made up for a fumbled punt return, with a 54-yard return to the K-State 16-yard line. The Jayhawks did not covert the return to points. Scott Webb's 46-yard field goal attempt was blocked.

plays on Saturday, and for those two plays it actually looked like Kansas had an efficient offense. Not only did Herford's entrance into the game make the opposing defense off-balanced, it also sparked the Kansas offense.
I'm not saying that Herford
In his first play on Saturday, it was anybody's guess on whether he was running, throwing or handing the ball off. He handed the ball off to Clark Green, and Green gained nine yards. On the next play, even though Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder, was aware that Kansas tries trick plays with Herford on the field, Herford threw the ball to Charles Gordon, who threw the ball back to Herford, and he ran the ball inside Wildcat territory.
The next play, Barmann came in to the game, and fumbled on his third play. Kansas State recovered the ball, and Kansas could never recover.
should start next week, because he doesn't know the offense well enough yet, and can't possibly prepare for the Oklahoma defense while trying to play catch up, but he absolutely should be given the opportunity.
He doesn't have the strongest and most accurate arm in the world, but that didn't stop teams like Texas, Iowa State and Missouri from playing run first quarterbacks like Vince Young, Bret Meyer and Brad Smith, respectively.
Snyder, Mangino's coaching role model, handled a quarterback situation well on Saturday. Before the season, he had two experienced quarterbacks and gave them both a shot. Neither of them is performing the way he would like, so, on Saturday Snyder turned to a redshirt freshman, just like Herford, and let him take over in the Wildcats' biggest game of the season.
Kansas State's quarterback Allan Evridge doesn't have the best arm, and might not be the
most polished player at the position, but Snyder gave him an opportunity, and he took advantage of it.
It would have been nice to see Herford get a legitimate chance in a game this season. Even if Mangino committed him full time to receiver, the Kansas offense would have one of its best athletes on the field at all times
Instead, he's stuck still trying to learn two positions and figure out what his role is on this year's team is.
There is no telling what Mangino will do next with Herford, but hopefully he permanently moves him to quarterback and lets him learn the offense.
Herford was moved prematurely, it's as simple as that. Now, Mangino should stop building packages for Herford, and just teach him the entire offense already.

More trouble for Barton County sports
GREAT BEND — Veldon Law, former president of Barton County Community College, said he was pressured by boosters to hire two men's basketball coaches who are awaiting trial on federal charges.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"The thing I feel worst about is acquiescing to political pressure." Law told The Hutchinson News. "I didn't stop it and I should have."
Law told the newspaper that he
faced intense pressure from influential boosters — including trustee Mike Johnson — to recommend hiring former coaches Ryan Wolf in 1999 and Dave Campbell in 2003.
Johnson and other trustees deny the assertions. They contend the board made the hiring decisions based on Law's recommendations.
The board fired Law as president in July, saying he failed to provide adequate administrative oversight of the basketball program.
Wolf and Campbell have pleaded innocent to federal charges and are awaiting trial. Wolf faces 37 counts of fraud, theft and embezzlement related to alleged wrongdoing while he was coach. Campbell faces two charges, one a count of embezzlement and the other a count of theft.
The criminal cases have prompted the NJCAA to place the men's basketball program on a second year of probation.

'Hawks defense tames'Cats rushing
BY DANIEL BERK
dbrek@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIETER
Coming into Saturday's Sunflower Showdown, the Kansas defense heard all about the effectiveness of the Kansas State offense.
But the defense was up for the challenge.
The Kansas defense totalled six three-and-outs that forced Kansas State to punt. The Wildcats came into the game averaging more than 400 yards of total offense. Kansas State gained 182 yards of total offense against Kansas and mustered just 35 rushing yards on 45 attempts.
The Kansas defense delivered many bone-rattling hits at or behind the line of scrimmage. Kansas State's first drive was a template for how most drives would go for its offense.
On the first offensive play of the game, Kansas State running back Thomas Clayton was met at the line of scrimmage by senior linebacker Banks Floodman for no gain. The next play saw Kansas State's starting quarterback, Allen Webb, getting sacked for a five-yard loss. After not converting a first down on the next play, Kansas State was forced to nunt
"Much credit to the KU defense," Clayton said. "They played an awesome game. We came out victorious and I'm really excited about that, but they did a good job defensively."
Clayton entered Saturday's game with more than 300 yards of rushing in just three games, but managed only 29 yards on 16 carries.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder echoed Clayton's comments after the game and said fans saw two fine defensive football teams.
"It was a penalty-ridden ball"
game for both sides that created some field position problems," Snyder said. "Outside of that, nobody thought we played very well offensively. As I said, a lot of that is to the credit of the University of Kansas."
The crew of Kansas linebackers led the defense all game and gave the offense opportunity after opportunity to put points on the board. Senior linebacker Kevin Kane led the team in tackling and compiled 14 total tackles. He combined with the other two linebackers, Floodman and senior linebacker Nick Reid, to put together eight-and-a-half tackles for losses. This amounted to 26 yards lost on those plays. Floodman also had double-digit tackles with 11.
Reid only had six tackles, but had an interception in the first quarter and returned it 28 yards. Reid set Kansas up with good field position at the Kansas State 39 yard line, but the KU offense could not convert on the drive and had to punt.
Kansas had offensive possessions that started at Kansas State's 39 yard line, Kansas State's 16 yard line and a couple at midfield. The Jayhawks were unable to score on any of those possessions.
Kane said after the game that no one would point fingers and the defense would continue to pick up the offense.
"It's a two-way game," Kane said. "You do your part and you hope the offense does theirs. If they are not doing their part, you have to make plays for them. We are stressing trying to score on defense and we just didn't get it done. The offense will pick it up. They are a little down right now, but they will swing it back."

scoring position at the Wildcats 18-vard line.
Mangino
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Of course, Mangino immediately benched Herford, even though he had finally given Kansas some offensive momentum.
In came Barmann, who fumbled the ball away and all but eliminated the chance of a Jayhawk victory. Mangino should have let Herford finish the drive, if not the game. At the very least, he should have put Luke in instead of Barmann.
Another critical mistake was Mangino's choice to try to convert a fourth and 11 on Kansas' first offensive series.
To make matters worse, Barmann gave Kansas only the smallest chance of converting the first down when he threw the ball to a covered receiver well short of the first down line. Mangino should have taken his chances with Webb.
After two Kansas State penalties, Kansas was on Kansas State's 29-yard line. Kansas could have attempted a 46-yard field goal, which, though long, is inside sophomore kicker Scott Webb's range.
Three points would have helped tremendously. Besides early momentum, Kansas' last drive would have implications
In retrospect, many of those losses could have been attributed to Mangino instead of the kicker who missed a late field goal, a defensive collapse in the fourth quarter or a referee who made a questionable call.
Optimistic fans thought last season was indicative of an improving team. Saturday was a sign of a stagnant program.
Saturday's close loss was nothing new. Last year, six of Kansas' seven losses were by an average of 4.9 points.
Those games proved Kansas had the talent to compete with almost any team in the Big 12.
for a victory instead of just covering the point spread.
Sure, Mangino has taken the first step toward building a winning program. He recruited what could be the best defense in the Big 12 and built Kansas from being the laughing stock of the Big 12 into a program with some respectability. Kansas fans should appreciate him for that.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
But if he doesn't start winning close games, this offseason Kansas needs to take the next step and hire a better in-game coach with the ability to deliver a winning season.

She belted out the song with gusto, the only boost seeming to come with a brief echo effect on her vocal in the chorus. When she was done, Simpson smiled and hopped in relief.
It was nearly a year after Simpson's embarrassing appearance on the same stage, where her voice was heard singing the wrong song when she held her microphone at her waist.
She danced an awkward jig and then walked off the stage. — The Associated Press

Freshman keeper Julie Hanley started her second career conference game against Oklahoma and led what Francis said was a defense that would set the

Hanley needed just two saves while Oklahoma's Nichols saved five.

APARTMENT FIRE
BY FRANK TANKARD
tankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Of the 32 KU students who lived in Boardwalk Apartments, Raul Diaz was one of the few lucky enough to have renter's insurance.
But some of his possessions destroyed by fire early Friday morning were irreplaceable, like the $10,000 worth of books he had for his evolution research, including original copies from the 1800s.
ATC
When Diaz, Los Angeles graduate student, awoke to shouts of "Fire!" he grabbed his cell phone, keys and dog and ran down the stairs and out the front door of the three-story building. He's now living in the guest bedroom of a friend's house and looking for a new apartment.
rector of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said the University would award grants of up to $1,000 from an emergency fund. Johnson said grants would vary based on the level of need, but would typically be about $500. He said several students had requested assistance as of yesterday afternoon.
Johnson said displaced students should go to the Office of Student Financial Aid at 50 Strong Hall to meet with an adviser.
University officials said they were doing everything they could to accommodate students who lived in the destroyed apartments, including replacing textbooks and school supplies for free.
Chris Johnson, associate di-
Dave Heller, a Manhattan senior who lived in the complex, said the office gave him $500 yesterday. That amount won't go far to replace the possessions he lost in the fire.
Heller said he hoped to get his $375 security deposit back from Boardwalk Apartments, along with the rent he paid through January, totalling $1,560. He also was waiting to get his car back, which was impounded at the scene while investigators searched for clues to how the fire started.
office's records. She said residents' payments would be refunded when the records were returned.
Diana Robertson, associate director of KU Student Housing, said the University was offering housing to those who were displaced by the fire.
As of Monday afternoon, three students had called to ask about housing, but none had decided to move in.
Judy Miller, assistant manager of Boardwalk Apartments, investigators took all of the
Robertson said Jayhawker Towers had the most available space.
Members of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives take a break from investigating the cause of the fire in the Boardwalk Place Apartment complex. Three bodies have been discovered since the fire ravaged the apartment complex on Friday morning.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said that if residents of the complex had any other needs, the University would try to accommodate them on a case-by-case basis. She urged students affected by the fire to contact the University.
Heller said his next step would be to move out of his friend's house and find a new apartment.
"I'm just in the process of getting my life back together," he said.

APARTMENT FIRE
KU student among missing
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Investigators confirmed Monday that they had found three bodies in the rubble of Boardwalk Apartments, which burned down early Friday morning.
Nicole Bingham, Wichita senior, is among three apartment residents missing, along with Jose Gonzales, 50, and Yolanda Riddle, an Ottawa social worker.
All of the other residents have been accounted for, Mark Bradford, interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department, said in a press conference at 2 p.m. Monday.
Bradford said he was relatively sure emergency workers found all the bodies, but it could be a few days before medical examiners determine the identities of the three bodies found. The fire was reported at 1:19 a.m. Friday at Boardwalk Apartments, in the 500 block of Fire-side Drive, off 6th Street. When firefighters arrived at 1:25 a.m., the apartments were engulfed in flames. The fire was under control by 4:30 a.m. Thirty-two KU students lived there.
At least 18 people were injured and two were taken to Kansas City for treatment. One of those injured was Eli Greenbaum, a KU graduate student. He was listed in fair condition yesterday at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Monday afternoon, Lyz Matney, 19, watched from across the street as firefighters dug through the rubble.
She spoke of how lucky she was to move out of the building just the week before. And she thought of Nicole Bingham, whom she didn't know well, but frequently saw in passing at the apartment complex.
"I just talked to her in the laundry room," she said.

What was once home to many students will soon lose its own
BY GABY SOUZA
gouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
On top of the hill that shadows Potter's Lake sits a building that is sometimes overlooked.
It is not a building where classes are held, though it is home to the bursar's office and the KU Public Safety Office. Its neighbor to the north is JRP Hall, a newer-looking and more impressive building.
But that building, CarruthO'Leary Hall, will be torn down to make room for a new facility for the School of Business.
Toni Dixon, director of communications for the School of
The hall has never been completely renovated and is underequipped, said Don Steeples, vice provost of scholarly support. Its rooms are tiny, and the general wear and tear has taken its toll.
Business, said she hoped the new business facility would be built within the next five years. That means the demolition of Carruth-O'Leary.
1955. It first housed the football team and students attending an international student orientation, but in the fall of 1955, it became home to 200 male students. It also was the home to basketball wonder Wilt Chamberlain, who lived at Carruth-O'Leary sometime between 1955-1958.
"A person could walk into dozens of rooms and say, 'Yep, this was a dormitory.'" Steeples said.
Henry Fortunato, project director and editor-in-chief of the KU History Project, said the new residence halls were built to accommodate the University's growth. The University was shifting its focus from normal house-sized student residences with 60 residents to larger, highrise housing buildings such as Carruth-O'Leary.
Carnuth-O'Leary began its existence as just that when it opened its doors as twin residence halls for students in the summer of
The hall got its name from two University greats: Dr. William Carruth and Raphael O'Leary.
Dr. William H. Carruth was a University graduate who made a name for himself by becoming a professor of German and literature in 1887. He was a man before his time, coauthoring a book on women's suffrage and writing a famous poem advocating the idea of evolution.
CARBUTN AND Q
English was O'Leary's strong suit. He was a member of the KU English department from 1895 to 1936. He was also the first editor of the KU Graduate Magazine.

Carruth-O'Leary Hall will be torn down to make room for a new business school building. The hall was once a residence hall and the home of Wilt Chamberlain.

Group hosts coming out celebration
LGBT
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Coming out in support of a group has taken on a whole new meaning today thanks to Queers & Allies celebration of National Coming Out Day today.
Queers & Allies has planned multiple events in celebration. There will be a special "Coming Out Day" social event at 7:30 tonight in the International Room of the Kansas Union and a party Wednesday night at Liquid.
Queers & Allies also will have a table from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on Wescoe Beach. The group will provide informational fliers about coming out. The fliers will discuss what should be done before someone comes out publicly and how to deal with negative responses.
"It's hard to find a good time to come out, and lots of people make the mistake of doing it at the wrong time, like on holidays, when people are already stressed. Today gives them a better opportunity," said Maureen Warren, Garden City first-year graduate student and director of Queers & Allies.
Warren first came out publicly during her freshman year. She said although it was a difficult thing to do in the beginning, she felt relieved
that she had finally come to terms with herself.
"It was painful because I lost some friends, but in another way it was liberating because I didn't have to watch what I said and worry about revealing who I really was," she said.
Warren stressed that coming out is not something only queer persons do, but allies as well. She defined an ally as someone who not only believes LGBT people deserve the same legal protection as others but also that they make sure their voice is heard.
Justin La Mort, Cherryvale senior, declares himself as an ally to the LGBT community and said he worked to protect its rights.
"Some people say because I'm not gay, why should I do anything, it's pointless," he said. "But if you don't help prevent their liberties from being taken away now, who knows when it will be you?"
La Mort is president of the American Civil Liberties Union at the University of Kansas. ACLU and Queens & Allies will co-sponsor a letter-writing campaign on Wesco Beach to oppose proposed measures in the Kansas legislature towards same-sex parent couples wanting to adopt.
ACLU is also representing Lisa Johnston, a KU alumna and lesbian, who was denied adoption in Missouri on the basis of her sexual orientation and has taken her case to court.
"Being gay is not against the law. This legislation institutionalizes prejudice and ignorance. There is not a single reason why homosexuals can't raise children and yet here we are having the same debate." La Mort said.
Warren said being gay wasn't simply an issue about sexuality, but about respecting different points of view.
"I don't expect everyone to approve of my sexual orientation, but I do expect the same legal protection from hate crimes and prejudice," Warren said.

Governor lauds cooperation between agencies
"Emergency management systems really worked the way they were supposed to work," Sebelius told the League of Kansas Municipalities meeting in Wichita.
WICHITA — Gov Kathleen Sebelius said Monday she was pleased at the response of local and state emergency agencies to the recent floods in northeast Kansas, pointing to it as an example of the working relationship between local and state officials.
storm dumped up to a foot of rain over parts of northeast Kansas, stranding people in their homes and cars in the flash flooding that ensued in Jefferson, Jackson, Leavenworth and Shawnee counties.
The governor credited the partnership between local and state officials for the fact that the flooding caused no deaths or serious injuries.
On Oct. 2, an unexpected
Local responders who knew the people and needs of the community reacted quickly, and state agencies served as a backup to them. Sebelius told city leaders attending
a convention in Wichita.
The National Guard helped get people out of nursing homes and the Kansas Highway Patrol did door-to-door notification for voluntary evacuations.
"If there is any lesson we learned from Katrina, I hope it is the lesson of not putting ourselves in a position we are not able to respond adequately to events we cannot necessarily predict," she said.
The governor also listed other partnerships between state and local governments that have lowered costs by using the state's
buying power.
One of those allows local jails and the Department of Corrections to buy medications for prisoners at reduced prices.
In Wichita, for example, that has resulted in savings of 42 percent in drug costs.
The state health insurance plan — which now covers not only state employees but employees of 45 local government units — has lowered health care costs so much that employees will likely see a decrease in health care costs in the next two years, she said.

Teaching assistants want salaries that provide living wage
BY ALY BARLAND

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition has been in negotiations with University administrators to increase wages for graduate teaching assistants, who say the wages are not sufficient for the cost of living in Lawrence.
There have been five meetings between the negotiating teams to rework the contract. The contract formally ended on Oct. 1. The University will continue to operate under current guidelines until a new contract is finalized, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost.
The minimum salary for a GTA with a half-time position for the academic year at the University was $10,000 for the fiscal year 2005, but most GTAs have higher salaries than that, Johnson said.
Katy Martin, spokeswoman for the GTA negotiation team, said the University provided her with an estimation that the cost of living in Lawrence would be about $13,000 annually after the GTA tuition waiver.
Martin said from her experience and what she has heard from her peers, that number was incorrect.
The exact number compiled by the University for cost of GTA living expenses was $13,100, said Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid.
She said the majority of GTAs have had to take out loans in order to work for the University.
Covington said the $13,100 included estimated room and board, transportation, books and personal expenses.
"I suspect if you started looking at actual students' expenses, you would probably find that their figure is a little low," Martin said.
She said that cost of living would vary among individuals, and some would exceed the University's estimate.
"We just want them to have a good idea of what the costs are to live in Lawrence," Covington said.
The average salary for a GTA at the University as of the fiscal year 2005 was $12,647, according to Lynn Bretz, University Relations director.
Bretz said GTAs have had a 30 percent increase in salary over the past three years and that an extra $1 million yearly goes to GTAs. Bretz said the increase was made possible by the tuition increase before the fall semester.
The Kansan Association of Public Employees, or KAPE, represents the GTAC and has been negotiating with the University administrative team that does all negotiations with public employees.

STUDENT HOUSING
Faulty towers letting in rain
Windows blamed for leaks
NEWS Sign of the times
"I got kind of scared because I thought that was not good; electricity and water don't go so well together." she said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that he was aware of the problem and that this fall's weather has not helped the situation.
She said water in the socket caused her light to short out.
Nadine Billgen pays close attention to the weather these days because rain outside has found its way inside the Jayhawker Towers.

The Bonn, Germany, graduate student, said she had filled buckets of water in her Jayhawker Towers apartment after heavy rain, and other Towers residents have said they have had the same problems with leaking ceilings and wet carpets. The towers' old windows have been blamed for the problem.
"The driving rains certainly aggrate that and makes it appear like more water than you normally would ever see," he said.
Stoner said the Department of Student Housing will stop the leaking by installing new windows. The installation of new windows began Monday in Tower B; window replacement in Tower D will begin later this fall.
Billgen, who lives in Tower A, discovered the problem after she heard dripping sounds coming from the ceiling.
Water started collecting in her light fixture then slowly dripped down the wall near the electrical outlet.
"The issue won't be fully solved until we get the windows replaced." Stoner said.

Nadine Billgen
Bonn, Germany, graduate student
Kan., senior, who lives in Tower B said she's tired of dealing with puddles in her apartment.
A two-person apartment in the towers costs $4,074 per year.
She said she used a towel around the window to prevent water from seeping. She said constant leaking had caused her ceiling to sag and kept the walls damp.
The problem had prevented her from hanging pictures on the wall or setting anything on the floor.
Billgen said she had talked to her Resident Assistant and called the department but had gotten a reaction only after she sent an e-mail to the department. Little was done then to fix the problem because the leaking had stopped, and the water had dried up.
She said she understood the problem couldn't be fixed overnight, but she would like the department to provide some temporary solutions.
While residents have contacted maintenance to address the issue, students said there has been no response.
"I pay enough per semester to not have to have this," she said
"It would be nice if they could do something about it — just give the feeling that they care," she said.

Police under scrutiny
Robert Davis shows scrapes on his elbows Monday near the intersection of Bourbon and Conti streets in the French Quarter in New Orleans where New Orleans police officers arrested him on Saturday night. Davis' arrest was captured on tape and has sparked an investigation into the conduct of the officers who arrested him.
NEW ORLEANS - Their homes are gone, their families scattered, their reputations sliding by the day.
Experts say the personal and professional upheaval is catching up with the New Orleans police force in the form of desertions, suicides, corruption and perhaps even the videotaped beating by officers of a 64-year-old man in the French Quarter.
Home for most New Orleans police officers is a cramped cruise ship, and work is 12- to 14-hour days in a wrecked city. When time off does come along, there is nowhere to go and no one to spend it with.
"This is unprecedented in our country," said Dr. Howard Osofsky, chair of psychiatry at the LSU Medical School Health Sciences Department. "There is no disaster that has
drunk, as police alleged. He said he had just returned to the city to check on his property.
Three officers were suspended without pay, charged with battery and pleaded not guilty Monday. The U.S. Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation Monday.
At least two officers took their own lives in Katrina's aftermath. At the same time, the 1,450-member department said it was investigating nearly 250 officers accused of leaving their posts and 12 suspected of looting or condoning looting. Authorities are also looking into allegations officers took nearly 200 cars from a Cadillac dealership during the storm.
had the amount of trauma for a department that this has, where so many police officers have lost homes, been separated from their families, had loved ones living in other places with no idea when they'll return."
On Saturday night, Robert Davis was bloodied by officers using their fists, and another officer attacked an Associated Press Television News producer who helped capture the incident on tape.
Two other officials in the video appeared to be federal officers, according to police. Numerous agencies have sent officers to help with patrols in the aftermath of Katrina, and police spokesman Marlon Defillo said it would be up to their superiors to decide if they would face any disciplinary action.
"I've been here for six weeks trying to keep ... alive. ... Go home!" shouted the officer.
"The actions that were observed on this video are certainly unacceptable by this department." Riley said.
Davis denied that he had been
Police Superintendent Warren Riley said any misconduct found in the investigation would be dealt with swiftly. He noted the video showed "a portion of that incident."

Carruth-O'Leary became a women's residence hall in 1964. It remained that way for a year before the headquarters for the English, classics, classical archaeology, German, Romance languages, and family life departments moved in in May of 1965. Those departments eventually moved out and were replaced by the KU Public Safety
Office in 1986.
The Public Safety Office plans to move to the former University Printing Services building at 15th and Crestline streets in the spring of 2006. It has not been determined where the other administrative offices in Carruth-O'Leary will be moved.
Steepsle said it was still to be determined whether the University would tear down Carruth-O'Leary first, or tear it down after the new business facility was built.
Fred McElhenic, University research consultant, said he saw a pattern with both the building and the future destruction of Carruth-O'Leary. Campus is simply growing and needs more space, he said.
Carruth-O'Leary was built to accommodate a growing University, and its demolition would serve that same purpose, McElhenie said.

Domestic abuse: a black eye on our society
SAY A LITTLE PRATHER FOR YOU
Wherever you are right now, stop and look around. If you are female,look at two girls sitting next to you.
Now imagine that one of the three of you has been domestically abused.
If you are male, observe three women around you on campus. Pick one of them out.
You have just brought to life with your imagination the statistic that one in three women will be domestically abused in their lifetime.
Domestic violence is defined as "physical, sexual, or psychological harm to another by a current or former partner or spouse," according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month, and on Oct. 4, 2005 at City Hall Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger proclaimed that the City of Lawrence recognized this month through supporting victims of domestic violence.
I will write the text as per your request. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any details. Please provide a clearer image for me to transcribe it.

Because domestic violence affects nearly 5.3 million women age 18 and older in the United States, it is clearly a problem that needs addressing.
According to the NCIPC, the predominant age group for domestic abuse is 19 to 29. Traditional college students fall directly into this category. Domestic violence is abuse by an intimate partner.
ic type of relationship. Heterosexual, homosexual and platonic couples all face the affects of domestic violence.
Some may overlook the fact, that verbal abuse is considered domestic violence. Name-calling, threats and intimidating language are usually what starts a vicious cycle of abuse and can lead to physical abuse and even death.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 1,247 women were murdered by their intimate partner in the year 2000. This averages out to three women a day and is an astronomical number for a country that was founded on escaping oppression.
Although women constitute 85 percent of domestic abuse cases, men are affected as well. According to the October 2003 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, there are 835,000 domestic abuse cases against men per year.
If you think that because you have not been abused that your life is not directly affected by domestic violence, think again.
"It is a silent problem that plagues women of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic status that will never be solved unless we all take a stand."
As a taxpayer, you should know that your government spends approximately $5.8
billion on health related costs because of domestic violence (also according to Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report). This money goes to physiological counseling, medical attention and government-sponsored shelters.
So what can you do to help support victims of domestic violence? For one, you can volunteer your time at Women's Transitional Care Services, a safe house for women who are in abusive relationships right here in Lawrence.
You can make donations of clothing, hygiene products or money to The United Way of Douglas County. It has workers to deliver donations to the safe house. You can participate in a 3-on-3-basketball tournament November 12 hosted by Alpha Chi Omega Sorority.
the alpha Chi Omega Foundation, which gives monetary donations to women's shelters.
Victims of domestic violence are mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, cousins best friends and lovers.
If you suspect domestic abuse or are in an abusive relationship, call WTCS for shelter or counseling at (785) 843-3333. Domestic abuse is not something to be taken lightly.
It is a silent problem that plagues women of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic status that will never be solved unless we all take a stand.

Megan Logue and all the really, really cool GDI's are just mad because when they go to The Hawk they get dissed on by all the Greeks.

Actually, the North Templin Liberation Front's efforts will be postponed by a week while we sober up.
I think Sigma Nu has the cutest girls on campus.
George W. Bush doesn't care about The Hawk.
This goes out to the non-Hawkers:
Let The Hawk live on. Also, let the Dance Factory live on. That's all I got.
I am waiting to watch English Alternative Theater. Good bye.
I just want to let everyone know to not ride bikes when you are drunk that are not yours. It might get you arrested and that's not a fun time.
I'm high and drunk at 9:50 in the morning. It's awesome!

Performance not heritage
I was fascinated by your choice for the cover story on Oct. 5 ("Offensively Funny" by Malinda Osborne).
by Malina Osborne).
First, with all else that was covered, even on your own front page, "Mr." Carlos Mencia's "performance" was hardly the one that ought to grab the headline. I feel sorry for the Lama Palden Gyatso (his, a more compelling story).
Not picking his story hardly evidences Kansas as a university in the literal sense. Second, to characterize the content of Mencia's "performance" as somehow reflective of "Hispanic Heritage" is both short-sighted and insulting. Apparently, "Hispanic heri-
Apparently, "Hispanic heritage" worth top billing in your paper is vulgar, racist,

misogynist pabulum. Lastly, it is irresponsible journalism to include a euphemism for the female genitalia in a quote as if the quotation marks somehow make it excusable.
All of this is notwithstanding the several typographical errors, verb tense issues and overall awkward syntax in this hastily constructed issue. Please be more discriminating and do justice to this as a learning institution.
of Ms. Osborne's weak point (although I am sure that Mr. Mencia provided little worth publishing at all).

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I attended Carlos Mencia's show at the Lied Center on Oct. 4, and read the Kansan article "Offensively Funny" the next morning.
The only thing that offended me was how Mencia was misquoted in the article. After his routine, he was kind enough to stick around for a Q & A session with the audience.
Because Mencia's schtick was to make fun of everyone and everything, one of the audience members asked him what, if anything, actually offended him. His response was absolutely nothing
"If I slap you, it's offensive. If I call you a cunt, it's funny." He explained that physical violence and oppression were offensive to him, and
"The point is that the difference between laughable and funny and the context of the quote are huge, and it's irresponsible to get such an important word wrong..."
that words can only hurt you if you let them.
To illustrate, he told the story of how a man was stabbed to death right outside his door when he was 8 years old, and
shakily said that was the kind of thing that offended him.
That's when he said "See, if I come over there and slap you, it's offensive. If I call you a cunt, it's laughable."
That, indeed, got a big laugh (we needed one right then). I don't think I need to break down what distinguishes the words funny and laugable from each other for a bunch of college students.
The point is that the difference between laughable and funny and the context of the quote are huge, and it's irresponsible to get such an important word wrong in such a short quote.

St. Louis Rams team president John Shaw, flanked by Jay Zygmunt, president of football operations, right, and interim head coach Joe Vitt, talks to the media on Monday in St. Louis about the health of head coach Mike Martz, who will step down indefinitely because of a bacterial infection in his heart. Vitt will lead the team in Martz's absence.
Tom Gannam/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Football coach out with heart infection
BY JIM SALTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST.LOUIS — St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz is out indefinitely with a bacterial infection of the heart.
Martz was told by a specialist Monday that his condition, which kept him out of two practices last week, had worsened. The 54-year-old has been ill for more than a month and was tested for endocarditis, a bacterial infection of the lining of the heart or a heart valve.
After the Rams' 37-31 loss Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks, Martz said he shouldn't have been on the sideline. St. Louis dropped to 2-3.
Rams president John Shaw said Monday that Martz will be hospitalized four to 12 days but would not speculate on the length of his absence. Shaw said he wasn't told the specific name of the illness, but was led to think that Martz's heart valve had weakened since last week.
"I think he was concerned he was letting down a lot of people, but also had concern about the gravity of the situation," Shaw said.
The antibiotics that Martz began taking on Friday didn't seem to help, Shaw said, but he
didn't know if any additional procedures would be necessary. Severe cases of endocarditis can require open-heart surgery.
Assistant head coach Joe Vitt will take over as coach. Martz told his players during a brief, but emotional, team meeting that he would step aside, Vitt said.
"The team is his concern," Vitt said. "His health is our No. 1 concern."
Martz spoke with a raspy voice after Sunday's game but sounded optimistic about his health. Still, he said that in retrospect, he should have allowed offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild to run the show.
"I wasn't myself this week, the game plan wasn't clear for me," Martz said. "It's over with now, but I just feel what happened to me has affected this team, and that breaks my heart."
Martz was first hospitalized Sept. 30 with what was thought to be a sinus infection. He coached two days later during a 44-24 loss to the New York Giants.
Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, a friend of Martz's, advised the Rams coach to be careful with his health.
"With the health problem like
he seems to have, he's got to take care of it. He's got to take care of himself, his family. He's got to think of way more things than football, of winning a football game," Holmgren said. "But it's hard for us. It's hard for all of us to back away on something like that."
Endocarditis affects 10,000 to 20,000 Americans each year and in some cases can require open-heart surgery, said Arthur Labovitz, director of cardiology at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
"It's a very serious condition," Labovitz said. "There can be some serious complications that are probably influenced by how you take care of yourself once a diagnosis is made."
Now in his sixth season with the Rams, Martz is 56-36 including the postseason. The Rams have missed the playoffs just once in his tenure (2002) and reached the Super Bowl after the 2001 season, losing 20-17 to New England.
Martz joined the Rams as offensive coordinator in 1999, and his high-powered offense led St. Louis to its first Super Bowl title that season. He became head coach following Dick Vermeil's retirement after that championship run.

New coach arrives at Kansas with notable junior college record
The Kansas Athletics Department has hired a new assistant baseball coach.
Rick Sabath will coach catchers and hitters and will serve as the bench coach for Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. Sabath spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Garden City Community College in Garden City.
"He has been one of the most successful junior college coaches in the state of Kansas and throughout the entire Midwest," Price said. "Not only is he an outstanding coach, but he is an outstanding person and we think he is a great fit for our program."
Last season, Sabath lead Garden City to a 41-17 record and one win shy of the Junior College World Series.
Sabath received his masters' degree from Kansas in 1996.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Off to their best start in a decade and with a 37-game road losing streak in conference play finally behind them, Baylor coach Guy Morriss and the Bears are interested to see what kind of reaction they get back home.
FOOTBALL
After all, the Bears (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) have hardly been in Waco this season. Four of their first five games were on the road.
Bears take home winning record
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
After a 23-13 victory at Iowa State on Saturday, the Bears announced a "Fill the Floyd" effort to pack the 50,000-seat Floyd Casey Stadium for Saturday's game against Nebraska. In their only home game so far this season,
36,595 fans turned out.
"It will be interesting to see how many folks show up," Morriss said Monday. "I think enthusiasm right now is pretty high. We're expecting a big crowd. I hope that we get a big crowd."
The 4-1 record is Baylor's best since 1995, the team's last year in the Southwestern Conference. Baylor finished 7-4 and moved to
the Big 12 a season later.
Already, the Bears have four victories in a season for the first time since 1996, and players are starting to be treated differently on campus.
"It's the first time in forever that we've been 4-1," Morriss said. "We just have to speak to them as coaches about tuning that stuff out."

"I have come to the conclusion that too much blame has been put on the quarterbacks here," Mangino said. "There is enough ineptitude to go around on offense to go around for everyone."
Mangino admitted that the offensive performance was the worst since he arrived at Kansas in 2002. The offense had just 236 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times. The Jayhawks converted points in one out of four redzone opportunities, after coming into the game with a 100 percent conversion rate.
addressed this week in practice. He did not credit the Kansas State defense for stopping the Kansas offense.
Mangino said that the offensive struggles were ultimately his responsibility and that the problems would be
"The quarterback needs some help. He needs some help from the other 10 guys out there," Mangino said.
"Kansas State did not do things much differently than they had not done in the last couple of years." Mangino said. "We did not respond properly."
Barmann started the game, but was replaced by Luke. They combined for seven completions against Kansas State and were unable to move the ball, despite receiving great position from the KU defense. Kansas accumulated just eight first downs on the day.
Mangino said the team did not plan on having a pre-game walkthrough at Arrowhead Stadium before Saturday's game in Kansas City, Mo. He said the team would have the walk-through in Lawrence and take a bus to the game.
Football Note:
Chemistry
Edited by Ty Beaver
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A
Q: Were you a natural when you started playing?
A: No. I don't remember, really.
I remember one time getting hit in the head when I wasn't paying attention to the game, so I guess not.
Q: Major?
A: Sports management.
Q: What are your plans after you graduate?
A: Not quite sure. I've thought a lot about going to Brazil to live for a little while and learn Portuguese. That's where my boyfriend's from.
Q: I saw you're from Loveland, Colo. What do you miss most about Colorado?
A: Oh, the mountains, no doubt. I love the mountains. I'm a mountain girl.
Q: Why did you come to KU, away
from the mountains?
A: (Laughing) People ask me that a lot. Just the strong volleyball program. I came on my visit and got hooked.
A lot of it was the team chemistry. Everyone got along. I went to a game and it was an awesome atmosphere in terms of fans and everything. I liked what I saw.
Q: What did setting the assist record mean to you?
A: Personally, it was just a good feeling.
I got to do it in front of my friends and family from Colorado, so that was the best part of it — good feeling for all my family to be there and my mom and dad.
Q: Before the season, did you circle that game, planning on setting the record then?
A: No. (laughing) People probably think I did.

Mangino switches quarterbacks whenever he feels the offense needs a "spark." For the first time this season, he was able to find that spark in a redshirt freshman. A 24-yard lateral pass from Charles Gordon to Herford showed that a spread offense could move the ball effectively.
If Herford and Jon Cornish were both in the game at the same time, defenses could no longer cram the line to chase down Cornish because they would have to respect Herford's bootlegging ability.
When asked why Herford didn't stay in the game, Mangino said that those were two plays scripted specifically for Herford to run. After
spending two years practicing with the team, let's hope Herford knows more than just two plays.
Don't switch partners in the middle of the dance: Twice in the second quarter, Kansas faced third down and three yards to go on the Kansas State side of the field. Both times the play call was a pass.
Facing a defense that was guarding exclusively against the run, Jon Cornish still averaged 3.9 yards per rush. So why was he a non-factor on two of the biggest plays of the game?
The offensive line performed admirably against a good Wildcat defense, allowing Cornish to make plays when none existed.
"We take it upon ourselves to do what we need to do," center David Ochoa said.
They did Saturday, but weren't given the chance when it really mattered.
Slow down the huddle: The Jayhawk defense was on the field for 42 minutes of football, while the Wildcat defense only had to play 18. This difference was created with the Wildcats running only 16 more plays than the Jayhawks (68 to 52).
Whichever quarterback starts next week needs to use the clock to his advantage. Slow huddles might be boring to fans, but they mean everything to the 11 defenders desperately trying to catch their breath.
Mangino calls the offensive plays: While at Oklahoma, Mangino presided over one of the best offenses in the country.
The only thing Mangino changed after moving to Kansas was he stopped calling the plays on offense, which Quartaro now handles.
With six games left on the schedule, Mangino needs to take this team over and make it his own. The Jayhawk defense is good enough to keep games within a touchdown, and clever play calling could mean the difference between a win and another busy day for punter Kyle Tucker.
These changes may not be the exact formula, but after Saturday, it's hard to imagine things getting uglier.
coordinator Nick Quartaro still have the ability to bring in players being recruited by better schools.

TEXAS 10
After Saturday's quarterback struggles, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino is again juggling his options in who will start in the next game.
Mangino said he had not made a decision on Saturday's game against Oklahoma during Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference.
"We are going to move pretty quickly," Mangino said. "We are not going to drag it out and try to see what happens. We are going to make a decision and we are going to live with it and continue with it."
Barmann, senior quarterback Brian Luke, freshman quarterback Marcus Herford and senior quarterback Jason Swanson, according to reports, will compete for the starting iob.
Herford saw only two offensive plays against Kansas State. He was the third quarterback to see action against the Wildcats. Swanson has yet to play this season and has been recovering from injury.

The Baylor Bears did something on Saturday that they had never done: they won a Big 12 Conference road game.
It took Baylor 10 years and nearly 40 games to notch the victory, but the Bears defeated the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames, Iowa. 23-13.
Baylor football coach Guy Morriss said he was glad to put an end to the losing streak, but the team still had work that needed to be done.
"People are real excited here in Waco about the team, and they should be," Morriss said. "Now, we're 4-1 and we're getting some attention and the guys are getting pats on the back at class. But we understand the pressures on us to keep winning."
Junior kicker Ryan Havens paced Baylor during the weekend. Havens connected on three field goals, with his longest coming from 49 yards out.
He was named Big 12 Special
Teams Player of the Week Monday for his performance.
Baylor looks to continue its winning ways this weekend when Nebraska visits for the Bears' conference home opener.
Morris said he was anxious to see how the Baylor fans react to the victory.
"It will be interesting to see how many folks show up," Morris said. "We are expecting a big
crowd, but we will have to wait until 6 p.m. on Saturday to find out."
Baylor was not the only Texas team to break a streak. The Texas Longhorns defeated Oklahoma 45-12 in Dallas after losing to the Sooners for five years.
Texas quarterback Vince Young led the Texas offense, throwing for 241 yards, three
touchdowns and no interceptions. It was the second big win of the season for Young and the Longhorns.
They defeated then No. 4 Ohio State on the road by three.
Texas now sits at 5-0, and will host Big 12 north frontrunner Colorado on Saturday.
Texas football coach Mack Brown said his team couldn't enjoy the Oklahoma victory for too long.
"We had six months to enjoy our Rose Bowl win," Brown said. "Then we had six hours to enjoy the Ohio State win, and it's the same thing now with this win."
Brown said he was looking forward to the challenge of Colorado, who is the favorite to win the North.
Colorado is 2-0 in conference play and 4-1 overall.
The Buffalooes defeated Texas A&M at home on Saturday and shut out Oklahoma State on the road two weeks ago in their conference opener.

Police arrested a local man early Tuesday morning in connection with the fire that destroyed Boardwalk Apartments last week.
Jason Allen Rose, 20, is being held at the Douglas County jail on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated arson, according to records from the Douglas County Sheriff's office. Police arrested him in Lawrence after 2 a.m. Investigators will announce whether charges will be filed no earlier than this afternoon. District Attorney Charles Branson said in a press conference Tuesday.
Lt. Kari Wempe, spokeswoman for the Douglas County Sheriffs Department, said Rose was a Lawrence resident. He was never enrolled at the University of Kansas, KU officials said.

Jaret Flores, an Omaha sophomore and former Boardwalk resident who lost everything he had in the apartment except a pair of pants, a T-shirt, two jackets and one shoe, said he was upset that the fire could have been started intentionally.
Bradford said police arrested the suspect after conducting 195 interviews with witnesses as of 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Olympian clarifies softball incident

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The United States 2000 Olympic softball team wanted to clear up any confusion about the motivational technique that had recently sparked debate at the University. Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said in a University report that she told her players to shower in their uniforms following a loss to Texas A&M April 2. Bunge said she had heard of the technique being used by the Olympic team. Leah O'Brien-Amico played first base and outfield on the Olympic gold medal teams in 2000 and 2004. She wanted to clear up the comparison made between the two shower motivational incidents.
She said the Olympic team members voluntarily showered in their uniforms at the Sydney Olympic Village following three consecutive losses. The shower was a light-hearted attempt to "wash away" the losing streak, she said. O'Brien-Amico said no players on the Olympic team were told to strip
"The 2000 team shower had absolutely nothing to do with the coaches." O'Brien-Amico said.
down. She said the team members who participated were in full uniform throughout the motivational event. According to a complaint filed by former Kansas softball player Jackie Vasquez, Bunge said "she heard of this technique being used with an Olympic team when they had a losing streak."
In the complaint, Vasquez said she and her teammates were told by Bunge to shower with their uniforms on as a way to "wash away the bad play."
Bunge then asked the players to strip down to their bras and panties, while she lectured them about their performance in the game. Weeks after the incident, Vasquez filed a sexual harassment claim against Bunge and an assistant coach.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the incident had been reviewed by the University and had found that it did not constitute sexual harassment as defined by the University.
Bunge declined to comment because of a pending legal case.

KANSAI STAFF WRITE
Gyatso, 75, said when he was first imprisoned in the early 1960s, starvation was widespread among prisoners.
He relied on refuge, contemplation of karma and other buddhist meditation practices to help him elevate his spirit, give him life and relieve him from the torture he faced in everyday life.
Tibetan monk Palden Gyatso turned the philosophies and disciplines of Buddhism into survival skills during his 33 years of torture in prisons and labor camps.
Editor's note: 75-year-old Tibetan monk Palden Gayatsoa, speaking through his translator, sat down with staff writer Travis Robinett for an exclusive interview. The interview took place at the home of Ling-Lung Chen, assistant anthropology professor.

♦ 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Lawrence Art Center

He said about 70 percent of the inmates died because of lack of food.
"The prisoners endured extreme physical and mental abuse almost every day," Gyatso said. "They were interrogated and had their hands and feet tied to ceilings. The guards would use an electrical pole to hit the prisoners, regardless of age or gender."
Gyatso said the guards would hit any parts of a body. He said some were hit in their eyes and lost their sight.
At one point, the electric pole was used in Gyatso's mouth, and he lost all his teeth.

Dr. Michael Yellow Bird
Director of the center of Indigenous Nations Studies
Could you explain your job?
Dr.Michael Yellow Bird is the director of the Center of Indigenous Nations Studies and an associate professor of American Studies.
I spend a lot of time trying to fulfill the mission and the vision of the Center. Working with faculty and students, I do a lot of global outreach to indigenous
communities, individuals and leaders. I work with local indigenous groups and organizations national and also international groups, bodies like the United Nations on behalf on indigenous peoples. Trying to connect with these different bodies to collaborate on issues and topics that are very important to indigenous peoples and communities. We talk about everything from trying to work with indigenous people in different parts of the world.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
The biggest thing is trying to innovate new ideas, programs and initiatives that would be beneficial to indigenous communities. Providing support to those communities in terms of technical support, whether it be help
ing them evaluate the needs of their communities or standing in solidarity against external oppressive forces. Providing direct consultation and training indigenous students who come to the Center. Get some of the best and brightest students that we can here and get them to address and confront complex issues and problems their communities faced. Get them ready to create some kind of positive effect in their communities.
What is a typical day like for you?
I don't know when it ends or begins, because being an indigenous person, there is a particular kind of
protocol that we live by. There are constantly a number of things we have to work on. During work, after work and during the weekends, it's supporting people and communities in a number of ways. We stay very involved with our communities wherever they may be. It's unending, it's not a typical day. We are always confronted with things that are going on throughout the world that affect indigenous people.
Why do you think it is important for students to learn about cultures other than their own?
I think it's very important, because cultures have so many domains that are beneficial to mainstream peoples. Diversity can be a very beautiful thing. Ideas and intelligent technologies come from indigenous people, from different cultures. Things that people eat today, the places they inhabit, the things that they know and the things that people say today, are all because of the innovation and cultures of indigenous people. There aren't many people in the United States who have some type of indigenous heritage. There is so much that people have to offer: medicines, ideas, engineering, the arts, everything. Anything you can think of. They infuse the place with diverse ideas.
diverse experiences. The world wouldn't survive well with out diversity. Ideas would be come entrenched and meaningless. Diverse people help people shift their paradigms.
What is your favorite KU tradition?
I like the Columbus Day protests at Wescoe. That's what indigenous people do, they provide a diverse discourse. They enlighten the campus. Students who haven't heard or don't understand the history of indigenous people or the myths of American history. People sit there and they listen, and it starts to provoke thought.

Waiting on elevator repairs
BY GABY SOUZA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
SAFETY
Facilities Operations has a list of elevators that are in need of repair, and the broken down Strong Hall elevator is just the tip of the iceberg.
Others include three in Malott Hall and at least one in Watson Library, said Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations.
The Strong Hall elevator broke down last Wednesday. It will be out of service for four to six weeks, said Jim Long, vice provost of Facilities Planning and Management.
Long said it would cost an estimated $35,000 to fix the elevator. All funds for repairs come from the Facilities Operations' budget, he said. Other elevators on campus will be repaired as soon as funds are allocated.
Facilities Operations has repaired five elevators since 2000. These five elevators include the out-of-use elevator in Strong Hall.
Green said the reason for the breaking elevators was outdated parts.
He said four elevators — two in Dyche Hall, one in Watson Library and one in Blake Hall — still have hydraulic systems. In these systems, a water-powered cylinder is installed in the ground and raises the elevator.
The problem with these systems is that, over time, water leaks through the cylinders because of excessive rusting, which eventually breaks the elevator. Green said.
6 5
The elevator will lose its power if too much water leaks through. Safety requirements now enforce replacing the old hydraulic cylinders with sturdier ones that don't rust as easily.
Green said vandalism and overuse also have played a part in the elevators breaking. People often overcrowd the elevators and don't follow safety instructions.
"We've always got people trying to pry the doors open when they're riding the elevator," he said. "I guess they want to see what goes by when they're riding it."
Green said he thought Facilities Operations was well aware of the condition and safety of the elevators. He also said that even though neither the city of Lawrence nor the state of Kansas require safety inspections, Facilities Operations still goes through an annual safety inspection, as well as a more comprehensive inspection, every
five years.

Bush defends, supports justice nominee
BY DEB RIECHMANN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush and his wife, Laura, offered a double-barreled defense of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers on Tuesday while the White House worked to dampen opposition from the right and win confirmation for the president's pick.
In Philadelphia, Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., told The Associated Press that he hoped to begin the confirmation hearing for Miers within a month. Questions for the hearing, which he said he hoped would last no more than
"Harriet Miers is going to be confirmed, and people will get to see why I put her on the bench," Bush said in a television interview on NBC's "Today" show. The Bushes were in Covington, La., at a Habitat for Humanity housing work site just north of New Orleans.
a week, likely will focus on her approach to constitutional issues, he said.
Bush's nomination of Miers has fractured his conservative base of supporters. In recent days, some conservatives have expressed outrage that Bush did not choose a nominee with a judicial record. They said it was risky putting Miers on the court because she was a blank slate on issues such as abortion and the death penalty.
Some activists have called on Bush to withdraw her nomination. Bush also rebutted worries from his right flank that Miers will be another justice David Souter, a little-known judge nominated to the court in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. Souter has disappointed conservatives by drifting, over the years, to the left.
"She won't change," Bush said. "I mean, the person I know is not the kind of person that is going to change her philosophy, and her philosophy is, is that

she is not going to legislate from the bench."
Bush said Miers was the most qualified candidate for the job, and Mrs. Bush agreed: "Absolutely, Absolutely."
"She's very deliberate and thoughtful and will bring dignity to wherever she goes, but certainly to the Supreme Court," Mrs. Bush said. "She'll be really excellent."
The public appears more concerned about Miers' close ties to Bush and lack of judicial experience than they are about any ideological effect she would have on the court, a Pew Research Center poll found.
Most in the poll, 56 percent, said they were not worried about whether Miers, the White House counsel, would make the court too conservative or insufficiently conservative. Almost four in 10 said they viewed Miers less favorably because she had never served as a judge and once served as Bush's personal attorney.
Presidential advisers are reaching out to GOP skeptics to reassure them that Miers is a solid conservative. In the calls, the White House is arguing that Miers is an accomplished lawyer and that the president's nominees for the federal bench prove that he is consistent and committed to conservative judicial philosophy.

Increase ranks high nationally

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lynn Stearns said she didn't know much about the University of Kansas, but she was willing to help pay for her son, Kyle Stearns, Derby senior, to go anywhere.
Plus, she said that tuition was "really cheap."
"I wasn't really excited about my son going to a Kansas school," Lym said, "until he started going here."
She said she was happy with her son's experience at the University. Then, tuition started going on.
Lynn said she and her husband didn't have problems paying, but the increase was a surprise. As it turned out, since Kyle started going to the University in 2002, only five other universities have had higher percentage increases in tuition.
According to a USA Today annual survey of 67 top public universities, KU's 55 percent in-state tuition increase since 2002 is the sixth highest in the nation. Still, the University's tuition
Similar tuition hikes have taken place at Kansas State University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Colorado. Each school is in the top 10 of tuition increases.
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said the University ranked high because of the five-year tuition increase plan. After presenting the plan four years ago, Eakin said the increase was something that administration, students and faculty wanted.
Eakins said that before the plan, the University's tuition ranked 32nd out of 34 American Association of Universities public schools. Now, the University's tuition ranks 28th.
The University will not be in the top 10 of percentage tuition increases in four years, Eakin said.
The money has gone to hire 100 new faculty and to improve technology, while 20 percent of the tuition increase went to financial aid to help students adjust to higher tuition.

Bush heads to Gulf area for reconstruction
HURRICANE KATRINA
BY JENNIFER LOVEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. — President Bush, focusing on progress since Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast, hugged wiggling children at their newly reopened school and hammered nails into a home for a storm victim. Still, everywhere he went, there were signs of the rebuilding's slow pace.
The president told a classroom of kindergartners to be proud of a school system that is "vibrant and alive" and committed to maintaining its former excellence.
In this hard-hit coastal Mississippi town, Bush celebrated the return to school of 1,100 elementary students.
With many students' friends missing, the reopening was bittersweet. The classes being held at DeLisle El-

emeretary School combined students from two schools, which before the storm hit six weeks ago together educated 2,000.
Earlier, in the pitch-dark hour before dawn, Bush spent nearly two hours at a bustling Habitat for Humanity construction site in Covington, La. Aiming to support the effort to find housing for those displaced by Katrina, Bush — donning a hard hat, work gloves and a giant wraparound leather tool belt — briefly joined Habitat volunteer builders, then chatted, signed autographs and posed for pictures.
THE DENVER PLAZA IN THE 1950S.
The construction of two homes coming just four days before Bush's deadline for getting the more than 32,000 people still in shelters into sturdier accommodations — paled before the larger task at hand.

City commission bans parking on west side of Lawrence Avenue
The city commission passed an ordinance establishing no parking along the west side of Lawrence Avenue, vesterday with a 4-0 vote.
The no parking on Lawrence Avenue will extend from 150 feet north of Bob Billings Parkway to Applegate court. Applegate at the Orchards neighborhood residents have been campaigning for the ordinance since June, when they presented their case to the Traffic Safety Commission. They were denied their request at that time. Commissioner David Schauer said he thought the neighbors made a good case that banning parking would make the street safer. Mayor Boog Highberger was not present because of an illness in the family. On Oct.4, he was the only commissioner who expressed concern about enacting the ordinance. He said he thought speeding may increase without the parked cars.

"She always joked about dying. She said if she didn't take her daily pill, she would have a 30 percent chance of dying. She said if she took it, she had an 9 percent chance of dying at any minute."
"She could accept her mortality. She thought other people should accept theirs."
In middle school, she played volleyball and ran track.
She was on the debate team when she went to North High School in Wichita.
"Alpha Delta Pi was her life."
"She didn't care if she was busy. She would drop everything to be with you."
"I'm a big worrier. She had this way of calming me and making me feel okav again."
"She was the happiest person I've ever known."
"The last time I saw her, we went to the used bookstore, and she spent forever in the history section."
"Last year I was really sick, and she took me to the E.R. She held my hand and told me stories. My parents used to call her my guardian angel."
She had two kittens, Spanky and Cleo, and three cats that lived with her mother in Wichita.
She did her Alpha Delta Pi philanthropy at Ronald McDonald House.

"One time we took her to the hospital. I started to cry because I was worried about her. She cracked a joke."
"She brought a Big Bird stuffed animal to the hospital. She got it when she had her heart surgery at Children's Mercy Hospital. She slept with it every night."
"She sang me to sleep once."
"She said, 'I'm going to live life to the fullest. You may only have today so make everything of it you can."
"She owned more than 200 movies. When I lived with her, we didn't have curtains so we just put her movies in the window."
"I saw her last week. She saw me on campus and gave me a ride home. She went out of her way to take me home."

FLOODING
Downpours soak East Coast
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
...
At least 10 people dead after storms
Jeanne Menard, of New England Search and Rescue, leads Cheerio, her search dog, through debris along what used to be Rts. 124/123 in flood-ravaged Alstead, N.H., on Monday, looking for missing persons. At left is her helper, Ethan McKeen, of the Upper Valley Wilderness Response Team. At least 10 people died in the heavy weekend down-pours or in rain-related traffic accidents from Pennsylvania to Maine.
BY KATHARINE WEBSTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALSTEAD, N.H. — Where Sally and Tim Canfield's home once stood, there is only open land. Their home was washed away by floodwaters, and two days after the rains subsided, their family found no trace of them.
Rescue crews and police dogs searched rivers and woods Tuesday for the Canfields and two others missing in New Hampshire after a weekend of heavy downpours that left at least 10 people dead from Maine to Pennsylvania.
"We didn't find any bodies," said a brother-in-law, Rick Mason, who spent time with crews looking for the Canfields. "First there was Katrina, then there was the earthquake, but this is pretty devastating right here."
Gov. John Lynch said the floods were the worst the state had experienced in a quartercentury, and he sought a federal disaster declaration.
At least one of those missing in New Hampshire, a 67-year-old kayaker, was feared dead.
Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were expected to arrive later this week.
In Greenfield, Mass., where floods wrecked 40 trailers in a
mobile home park, the mayor said repairs would cost more than $1 million.
The flooding damaged a bridge and a dam, washed out a road, cracked sewer mains and left at least 70 residents homeless, Mayor Christine Forgey said.
She declared a state of emergency and said she also would need state and federal help. "There is no way we could foot this bill," she said

the mid-Atlantic states. In New Hampshire, Hinsdale got 10.8 inches and Keene 10.5.
The floods forced the evacuation of 1,000 New Hampshire residents. Officials went door-to-door Tuesday to check on the condition of many homes.
Police in Alstead discovered that the flood had washed away their station.
"There's four feet of mud on our first floor," said Wendy Gendron, who was evacuated with her family on Sunday. "There is no backyard anymore."
dozens houses were washed away. Some residents found they did not have much to return to.
A stretch of at least 50 along one road had some type of damage; officials said a

"I only have a high school education, but what I do have is an understanding of Tibetan and American culture," Tinkghey said. "I thought I could be helpful."
Gyatso came to the United States because he got many invitations after publishing his book, "The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk." He said many people were curious about his approach toward those who tortured him. Gyatso said he had nothing but compassion for them. He said he also wanted to educate people about Tibet and the human rights violations that go on there.
Gyatso began studying to become a monk at the age of 10. Tibet is a nation of Buddhist culture, and its culture encourages the middle of three sons to become a monk, he said. Gyatso was the middle son.
WASHINGTON - New York Times reporter Judith Miller turned over additional notes and underwent questioning by prosecutors Tuesday in the criminal probe of the Bush administration's leak of a covert CIA officer's identity.
Miller testified Sept. 30 before a federal grand jury after getting a waiver from her source and after receiving assurances from prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that questions would be limited to Miller's conversations with Vice President Dick
"It cannot be broken down to one philosophy," Gyatso said. "It encompasses many views and many discourses of meditation. The more detail, the more danger of misunderstanding, but overall it's a complete encompassing wisdom that can relieve you from any kind of difficulties and not make you crazy or extremely depressed."
For 17 years he studied Buddhist literature. He then studied higher education of Buddhist views and philosophies called "nangdhun rigpa," which is the highest view of Buddhist philosophy.

He escaped briefly in 1962. When he was caught, his term was raised by 15 years. Tingdlhy, Gyatso's translator, said when he read the monk's book it touched him. He said he quickly took the opportunity to translate for Gyatso when he saw that he needed an interpreter.
"Tibet belongs to Tibetans," Gvatso said.
The Chinese officers said the Dalai Lama couldn't come with guards, but only one person who was unarmed. Many Tibetans immediately, but peacefully, protested against China in Lasha, Tibet, the capital.
In a memo to its staff, the newspaper said Miller would appear today before a federal grand jury in the investigation, her second grand jury appearance in recent days.
The reporter had spent 85 days in jail for refusing to cooperate with Fitzgerald.
Gyatso was arrested in 1959 for peacefully protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet. He said the main reason he protested was because the Dalai Lama had been given an invitation to attend a dinner with Chinese officers. He and other Tibetans thought it was a plan to assassinate — or at least capture — him.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The additional notes deal with a separate conversation she had with Libby.
The Times said that it was preparing a story about Miller's "entanglement with the White House leak investigation" and that the story would be completed when the reporter finished her cooperation with prosecutors.
Presidential aide Karl Rove and Libby had conversations with reporters in July 2003 about the identity of Valerie Plame days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, suggested the Bush administration had misrepresented prewar intelligence on Iraq.
The grand jury looking into the leak expires Oct. 28. Fitzgerald also is calling presidential Rove for additional testimony. It will be Rove's fourth appearance.
Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper has testified about conversations with Libby and Rove regarding Wilson's wife, who was a covert CIA officer.

Chinese spacecraft blasts off

China launches its second manned spacecraft Shenzhou-6 at the Juquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gansu Province at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday.
China sends astronauts into orbit for the second time
BY STEPHANIE HOO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The mission, reportedly due to last up to five days, is a key prestige project for China's communist leaders, who have justified the expense of a manned space program by saying that it will drive economic development. It will be more complicated than the first flight in 2003, which carried one astronaut and lasted just 21 1/2 hours.
IAYUGUAN, China — Two years after China became the third nation to launch a human into orbit, a pair of astronauts blasted off Wednesday on a longer, riskier mission after receiving a farewell visit from Premier Wen Jiaabo.
A rocket carrying the Shenzhou 6 capsule and the astronauts blasted off Wednesday from the remote base in China's northwest. In a break with the space agency's typical secrecy, the launch was shown live on Chinese state television.
Wen said the "glorious and sacred mission" would demonstrate China's national confidence and ability.
Minutes after liftoff, mission announced that the first stage booster had successfully separated from the rocket and that the flight had entered its preset orbit.
The official Xinhua News
Images of Fei and Jun in their cockpit as the craft roared toward orbit were broadcast live to hundreds of millions of Chinese television viewers. None of the 2003 space flight was shown live by Chinese television.
The two taikonauts will conduct experiments in orbit, Xinhua said without elaborating.
Xinhua said the crew was picked from a field of six finalists. Nie was one of three finalists for the 2003 mission, which made a national hero of Yang Liwei.
Earlier in the day, Xinhua announced the identities of the two talkonaws — Fei Junlong, 40, and Nie Haishen, 41. Previous reports said 14 former fighter pilots were training for the mission.
China insisted ahead of the launch that its aspirations in space were strictly peaceful and that it opposes deploying weapons there. Space officials say they hope to land an unmanned probe on the moon by 2010 and launch a space station.
Agency said the two astronauts, or "taikonauts," will take off their 22-pound spacesuits to travel back and forth between the two halves of their vessel — a re-entry capsule and an orbiter that will stay aloft after they land.

Three days after the quake, survivors still were being pulled from the rubble of pancaked schools and houses by British, German, French and Chinese rescue teams.
The agreement would allow the Sunnis to try to amend the constitution to reduce the autonomous powers that Shiites and Kurds would have under the federal system created by the charter, negotiators said.
MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan Heavy rain and hail grounded helicopters and stopped trucks loaded with relief supplies Tuesday, imposing more misery on hungry, shivering earthquake survivors as the United Nations warned of potentially lethal outbreaks of measles, cholera and diarrhea.
Desperate villagers fought over food packages and looted trucks as the first aid reached the

Millions were left homeless after whole communities were flattened in the region touching Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
It boosts the chances for a constitution that Shiite and Kurdish leaders support and the United States has been eager to see approved in Saturday's vote to avert more political turmoil.

Violence erupts in Afghanistan
BY DANIEL COONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KABUL, Afghanistan About 60 militants ambushed a police convoy as it slowed to cross a river in southern Afghan mountains, sparking a fierce gunbattle that left 19 officers dead in the deadliest blow yet for the fledgling security force, officials said Tuesday.
In later violence, two rockets exploded near the U.S. Embassy in the center of the Afghan capital Wednesday, wounding two people hours before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was due to arrive on an official visit. Rice's visit on Wednesday is her second trip to Afghanistan as secretary of state.
The attacks underlined the challenges facing Afghanistan's U.S.-backed government as it struggles to strengthen a fragile democracy while dealing with a stubborn rebellion by insurgents that has left about 1,400 dead in the past half-year.
In the attack late Monday on the police convoy, suspected Taliban rebels hiding behind rocks surrounded the vehicles as they slowed on a dirt road to cross the river in Helmand province, then opened fire with heavy machine-guns and AK-47 assault rifles, Interior Ministry spokesman Yusuf Stanikzai said.
Several officers were killed immediately, but 150 police in the convoy and the survivors returned fire, he said. Fighting raged for hours into Tuesday before the militants fled.
Security forces rushed 200 extra police officers to the area and were searching houses and mountain caves, but none of the
Among the 19 dead was Helmand's deputy police chief, Stanikzai said. Four police officers were wounded and five were missing, said Ghulam Muhiddin, the Helmand provincial administrator. Four police vehicles were destroyed after being riddled with bullets.
"This was a devastating attack on the police. We are doing our best to track these militants down."

mutants were caught or killed, Muhidin said.
But he said the rebels were believed to have fled across the nearby Pakistani border. Many insurgents are believed to base themselves on the Pakistani side of the largely unguarded frontier, where they sneak into Afghanistan to launch attacks. Another Interior Ministry official, Dad Mohammed Rasa, said the attack was "the deadliest ever on the police," a force that now numbers some 55,000.
"This was a devastating attack on the police," he said. "We are doing our best to track these militants down."
Violence also continued in other areas. A U.S. soldier was wounded when militants opened fire Tuesday on his vehicle near Kandahar city, a former Taliban stronghold, U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jerry O'Hara said. Troops returned fire and the rebels fled.
Militants fired two rockets into Kandahar before dawn Tuesday, but they hurt nobody. Three other rockets were found and defused on a nearby hillside, officials said.
In neighboring Zabul province, U.S.-led coalition and Afghan forces killed two Chechans and a Pakistani who were fighting alongside Taliban rebels, local government spokesman Ali Khail said. Afghan officials have warned that foreign militants linked to the Taliban and al-Qaida have entered Afghanistan to fight.

Media, police: Quit hatin' on The Hawk
STAND UP!
Throughout the past couple weeks, the Hawk has been given a black eye by the media. While the Hawk might stagger for a little while from this bad publicity, it will back up and once again be the top venue in Lawrence.
The Hawk is being targeted because it is undoubtedly the most popular bar in Lawrence and when you are on top, you attract a lot of attention: from students, other bars and ultimately the police.
Some people think that the police presence in the local bars has increased this year, but the truth is that it is mostly the same as in previous years. There is just more publicity this time around.
What people need to remember is that this is a college campus and there will be underage drinking. It happens at bars, residence halls, on-and-off-campus

residences and any other venue a person can think of.
This might seem like a high number, but the Hawk has any where between 700-1,000 people
It is something that is uncontrollable. You can go to any bar on any given night and I guarantee that you will find someone there with a fake ID. But, none of these other establishments are getting the flak that the Hawk is.
It has been cited 17 times for underage drinking violations in the past two and a half years, and half of those citations have already been dropped.
come through its doors Wednesday through Saturday.
That's not even close to 1 percent of all their customers, which is pretty good. When you have as many customers as they do per night, it is extremely difficult to spot fraudulent IDs. It is becoming even more difficult with the improved technology used to make these IDs. It is almost impossible, even by a trained eye. Whether anyone wants to admit it, fake IDs are a part of college life. When I was a freshman, people went from dorm to dorm selling fake IDs. While I wanted to get one, I ultimately decided against it.
One man in particular made the IDs two to three days after he had taken the picture of the student. He charged $80 per ID I saw some of the IDs after my friends received them, and I
compared them to my authentic Illinois driver's license.
I was surprised how good they were. If an ID from one of the most populous states can be easily forged, this just shows how advanced this business has become.
If someone who has been a resident of Illinois his whole life cannot tell a fake ID from a real one, how are bouncers at bars, not from the state, supposed to be able to?
With all this bad publicity aimed at The Hawk recently, it is also important to remember what good things it has done for the community. In the past two years,
The Hawk's employees and patrons have contributed more than $24,000 to a number of different charities: $6,000 to the hurricane Katrina relief fund,
$3,000 to the Ali Kemp Fund,
$2,500 for Leukemia research,
$1,700 to the American Cancer Research Center, and $1,000 dollars to the AIDS Walk in Kansas City and toys-for-Tots.
Lawrence police officer Larry Hamilton told the Lawrence Journal-World on Sept. 29, "It's easy to go into The Hawk and get a minor in possession." Well, here is a news flash for Officer Hamilton: It is easy to go to any bar in Lawrence and find a minor in possession. The reason why it is easier at the Hawk is because there are so many people there, not because they are doing a bad job of checking IDs.
What people apparently have forgotten is that there are two other bars in the area, The Wheel and Bullwinkle's, that the police also pay attention to. There are other bars in Lawrence that
have more MIP's charges than the Hawk, but people don't hear about that. Nobody sees stories about them in the news, nobody sees their pictures in the paper or hears rumors that their owners have been thrown in jail.
And certainly, those bars do not have a cartoon in the paper referring to suicide less than a month after one of their previous employees tragically took his own life.
A few articles, some opinions and some pictures is one thing, but this continual barrage of unfair statements has gone too far. Perhaps this mudslinging style of journalism will change in the future, but for now, The Hawk has been open since 1919, and it has every intention to stay open.

Shacking, the Great Escape
Except, you don't actually say it. You think it. If you say it too loud, your exit is blown.
You're laying naked in a foreign bed next to someone you don't know and don't remember falling asleep with. Hey, it happens.
Barring the bizarre circumstance where you are genuinely interested in the person, or you don't know where they hid the video, you have only one option: escape.
Every college student will at some point wake up and see the man/woman/taco that they decided would be fun to share the family genetics with. Ninety-nine percent of living human beings wouldn't want to wake up the other naked person and apologize for "trying to hammer a nail into the wall with a dead fish."
1
Get dressed quickly and quietly. I recommend practicing at home. A good nude-to-clothed time is less than 20 seconds; A great one is under six.
Through some magnificent miracle, a high percentage of the time the person who shacks will wake up before the person who lives there. It's inexplicable, but why do you care? This is a gift from the heavens. Voices are telling you, "Here's your chance, get the hell out! They want to introduce you to their parents! Run!"
Here is your evacuation route from the beholder's lair.
If you are a slow dresser, the "clasp" is an oft-forgotten technique that could be the difference between breaking some fugly's heart or simply breaking down her door.
Simply "clasp" all of your clothing and run outside. Even if you are completely naked,
Whatever you do, do not forget a single item. If the snoring, naked person doesn't remember the night before, any clothes they find may remind them.
ERIC JORGENSEN opinion@kansan.com
PETER RADLEY
"Here's your chance, get the hell out! They want to introduce you to their parents! Run!"
it's better than being naked in bed with Leatherface's acneinfested twin.
After a night of heavy drinking, you're going to wake up with a bad case of "hungover-doodies" (the stupid editors made me change what I originally wrote). No matter how loud your rectum is screaming, you must keep your goal in mind.
Once you are dressed, quietly flee. Unfortunately, you're not safe. There are plenty of obstacles left.
Dropping a deuce in the other person's house is risky. You will undeniably leave evidence of your presence in more than one way; plus bathroom ventilation systems are often subpar. Bathroom veteran and escaper-extraordinaire, junior Andrew Ricke, put it in perspective.
"We can put people on the moon, but we can't make a bathroom vent that can contain sound and smell," Ricke said.
The rewards do not equal the repercussions. Get out of the house and crap on the neighbor's lawn gnome if you have to. Just do it anywhere but the shackee's house.
So, you've made it out of the bedroom and past the bathroom. Here is the worst obstacle yet. Even though you woke
up before E.T., the roommate will always wake up before either of you.
Roaming in the kitchen and living room, the roommate makes the shot to the front door nearly impossible. If the roommate catches you, it is guaranteed the whistleblower will tell the shackee they saw "someone running out of the house who looked like they drank too much ex-lax."
Also, who's going to believe some old, feeble person that a "young whipper-snapper fell from the clouds" on his morning walk. The only reaction he'll get from his family is, "Grandpa's losing it."
Unless the roommate is gone, or you have a killer right hook that's both silent and effective, you will have to find an alternate extraction point. Your only option is a window.
Lift the window and remove the screen. Someone may notice a screen is jacked up, but can always assume someone tried breaking in. And how many college students routinely check their screens? Half probably think they'd need "screen fluid" for it.
Now jump.
Don't indulge in the past, invest in the future. And your future is at home, pooping.
Regardless, you're going to need a cushion. Plus, imagine how great a story you could tell your friends.
If you're on the second story, or worse, a third, aim for a bush or an elderly person. Odds are an elderly person will not know any college kids, thus he cannot narc you out.
And it's not like he can remember what happened five minutes ago anyway.
Now you're free. Run, drive,
swim or ride piggy-back, just
get home. Do not get yourself
caught in an awkward morning
with some man/woman/taco.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Military is diverse enough
The Lawrence Counter recruitment organization suffers from a myopic view on integration in the armed services. By focusing its attention on the LGBT issue, it has missed the forest for the trees.
Of course, the issue of LGBT and the military is difficult. For the record, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was established by President Bill Clinton so that gays and lesbians could serve in the military. But while campaigning
on campus, the organization has perpetuated only the gross misconceptions regarding the armed services and its success in integration which is the reality.
"Can you imagine yourself as a
I could make an argument for my point, but I will defer to the three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist, Thomas Friedman, whose Op-Ed column in The New York Times on Oct. 5 eloquently expresses the diversity that exists in today's military:
24-year-old female Executive Officer and leading boarding parties onto boats conducting inspections in the Persian Gulf"
The reality is that the U.S. military consistently leads most other professions in the country in its non-discrimination, but this is something the LCR does not want you to remember.

MISSING THE TARGET
ROTC students are waiting to defend our country from known enemies, but protests and anti-war sentiments on campus have put these young soldiers on the defense. Walking through campus in uniform, ROTC students' tough韧性 sometimes makes them the recipients of fellow students' political views. They may not always agree, but it doesn't offend me, because that's the point. Their sense of democracy is all about," said Craig Lee. Air Force ROTC Wing Commander and war rallies, letters to the editor and protests are often aimed at ROTC students, individual attacks, though they're especially discouraging to ROTC members. Matt Weilbacher, FT Leavenworth junior and Air Force cadet, was walking through the Kansas Union in uniform with his friend, a fellow cadet, when someone shot his friend. Others have had to face verbal attacks for their participation in ROTC.
"During my freshman year, I was called a baby killer in Hashinger," said Megan Mallare. Air Force ROTC Operations Group Commander and Leavont senior. Remarks and attitudes like those made by Mallare re-evaluate her motivation for joining the Air Force. She thought she should either quit the program or readam her reasons for joining. She chose to do the latter. This May she will be commissioned as an Air Force intelligence Officer. "I would like people to see the separation," Lee said. "There is no policy being made in ROTC. Yelling at ROTC cadets isn't going to do anything.
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELief
Weilbacher thinks that people are misinformed about the military and ROTC. He said that the media's portrayal of the military skews people's perceptions. "When people think of the Army they think of artillery, tanks, bombs and killing." Weilbacher said. When people think of the Air Force, they think pilots. But the military is so much more. The focus of the ROTC program is to prepare students to become military officers and future leaders. In addition to their military training, ROTC students major in different fields of study such as journalism, engineering and nursing, which can translate into their military careers. A journalism student can serve in a public relations job. An engineer can work as a computer systems officer or civil engineer to design, plan and direct the construction of military facilities. Navy midshipman Veronica Cooper, Lawrence Junior in working on her nursing degree and has been a member of the ROTC for three years. When she is commissioned upon graduation, she will utilize her nursing education in the military.
Committed to the Country
ROTC students' reasons for joining the program are as diverse as their majors are. Many ROTC students come from military families, which has influenced their decision to join. Some patriotic students feel the need to give back to their country because of what it is has given them. The financial benefits of the program may a large role as well. Dr. Col. Jeff Maxey, adjunct professor for the Army ROTC, said Army cadets receive a stipend in their last two years of the advanced program. Senior cadets receive $400 a month and Juniors receive $350 a month. They receive the stipend on top of any scholarship. As a commissioned officer, graduates can expect to make at least $400,000 a year he said.
John Irvine, FT Leavenworth freshman and son of a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, joined the University's Army ROTC program because he wanted to serve his country and give back to the military, because it gave him the opportunity to travel with his family.
Irvine said the military was everything he ever knew. He had many full ride scholarship offers after high school, but he waited to serve because it had given him so much, he said. "I've experienced so much, I've lived everywhere in the country and I've met people from so many countries," he said. Irvine has a four-year ROTC scholarship. He said he wanted to pay for his own education and the Army was the best way to do that.
Individual Representation
While ROTC stresses uniformity and unity, individual ideas are highly valued. "We have several liberal students in ROTC. We want them in the militia, solving problems from a liberal perspective," said Maxey. "The military wants to be just as diverse as the student population. We want critical thinkers so we can solve problems without having to shoot a bullet." Cooper considers herself a liberal. She disagrees with the ROTC on social issues, but as conservative military wise. She said her friends had mixed reactions to her joining ROTC. Although they supported her achievement in earning a scholarship, some did not agree with the military. "We have discussions about current events and my friends are mature about it. They don't attack me, we just share our opinion," Cooper said.

Mangino picks Luke
24 8 15
Hopes for better offense
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named senior quarterback Brian Luke as the starter yesterday for Saturday's game against Oklahoma.
Mangino played three quarterbacks in each of the two conference games this year. He said he hoped to use Luke exclusively on Saturday.
"I told him, I am looking for you to start, to finish and win the game." Mangino said.
Luke completed four passes against Kansas State last week. This season he is 64 of 121 for 764 yards. Luke has five touchdowns and five interceptions.
"We think that Brian has been in the system the longest and really has shown the most understanding of our offense," Mangino said. "We think, when protected, he is delivering the ball better than any of our quarterbacks."
Mangino has pulled Luke often in the previous two games, replacing him with junior quar-

"It is not like he makes an error and we are yanking him," Mangino said. "I believe he can get the job done. We need to protect him. We need to run good routes and catch the ball when it is delivered."
Mangino also said senior quarterback Jason Swanson was completely healthy and likely would serve as the second-string quarterback.

Leading up to the weekly press conference, many speculated that Mangino was so desperate to spark his offense that senior quarterback Jason Swanson, who has been on the offensive scout team, would start against Oklahoma.

Not only will there be no platoon of quarterbacks during Saturday's game against Oklahoma, but two of the Jayhawks' top athletes will be utilized to the best of their offensive potential.
It took Mark Mangino live games, but it looks like he's finally taking the necessary steps to improve his putrid offense.

would have been crazy.
Making Luke the starter was absolutely the right decision.
Luke has proven to be the most consistent of any quarterback on the team, and the only one who can move the ball down field.
He was by far the best quarterback during nonconference play, and his touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Mark Simmons against Texas Tech was the only touchdown drive that Kansas has put together in a conference game this season.
Opposing defenses don't have to worry about long pass plays when junior quarterback Adam Barmann and Herford are in the game, but Luke can force safeties to move back and open up the running game.

Kansas (12-5, 4-4 Big 12) is coming off two consecutive home losses. Saturday it dropped a four-game match to No. 1 Nebraska at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. Before that, Kansas was swept by 20thranked Kansas State.
Jayhawk volleyball continues a rough stretch in the Big 12 schedule Saturday when the team travels to Columbia, Mo., to play the seventh-ranked Missouri Tigers.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Hearnes Center.
Missouri is 12-1 overall and 6-1 in conference play, with its only loss coming from Nebraska. The Tigers have a match tonight against the No. 18 Texas Longhorns before they shift their focus to the jayhawks.
Kansas sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown said that the Missouri match was always a little different than other conference matches.
"They're obviously a really big rival," Brown said. "For me,
The Tigers swept the season series from the Jayhawks last year. Overall, Missouri holds a 40-31 edge over Kansas since the first match between the teams in 1975. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team would expect a very strong effort on both sides of the net.
"They're a great team," he said. "They're extremely good at siding out. It's a situation where we have to get them out of their system, because they're very efficient."

Missouri features senior setter Lindsey Hunter, who is in her fourth year of running the offense. Hunter led the conference in assists in her first three campaigns.The all-American is on top of the Big 12 again, averaging 14.7 assists per game.
Missouri averages 17.8 kills per game. It leads the nation in that category, according to the latest NCAA report. In comparison, Kansas is 30th with 16.24

Fans ready for Phog
C college basketball season officially starts on Saturday, Oct. 15. For students at the University of Kansas, festivities begin the night before at Late Night at the Phog.
Kansas fans will not only get their first glimpse of this year's new-look Jayhawks, but they will also see the new-look Allen Fieldhouse, which underwent a facelift during the offseason.
"It will be the first time our fans can see our freshmen, the improvements to Allen Fieldhouse, and it will be their first look at this year's team," Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said.
This year's Late Night in the Phog will be slightly different from those in the past — mainly because the festivities will be broadcast live on ESPN U from 8 to 9 p.m. The celebration will run from about 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., a change from past years when the carousing continued until after midnight.
It will be important not only
Five universities were selected for the broadcast, Kentucky, Memphis, Oregon and Michigan State are also included in the telecast.
"This thing is a pretty big deal." Self said. "It's certainly the most important of the Late Night celebrations that we have had since I have been here."
because people will have access from their living rooms to what only the most intimate group of Kansas fans have had in the past, but also because there will be a gang of highly-rated high school recruits who visited the University this weekend. Last year, freshmen Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs and Julian Wright all attended Late Night.
"I was really impressed with Late Night," Downs said." "It made me realize how much they loved basketball here."
Doors to the fieldhouse open at 5:30 p.m. and seating is first-come, first-served.

Early loss won't faze'Hawks

The 168-132 loss to the nationally ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers does not have the Kansas swimming and diving team discouraged. In fact, the Jayhawks couldn't be more excited to see where the 2005-2006 season will take them, said sophomore Terri Schramka.
An analysis by Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell following the Minnesota dual meet disclosed that the team is ahead of where it was at this point last year.
"We are, as far as a team, already as we were at the end of last year, and we are substantially better." Campbell said.
"The meet starts out as a fun meet, but when all of the coaches and swimmers are together, it becomes very competitive." Campbell said. "There is so
Despite the excitement of the Jayhawks' positive beginning to the dual-meet season, they must remain tough going into this weekend's events. The team faces back-to-back meets Friday and Saturday. It will travel to Columbia, Mo., Friday to compete in the all-day Big 12 Relays meet at Missouri.
Although all of the Big 12 Conference teams with a swimming and diving team will be present, Campbell said he would not focus as much on the competition within the Conference as he would on his team.
Campbell said the relay meet was a good opportunity to do a lot of videotaping to isolate camera time on individual Kansas swimmers for stroke analysis. Kansas does not get the opportunity to videotape at every meet.
Campbell said.
In addition to benefiting from the video footage, Kansas will get the opportunity to acclimate to Missouri's pool, the site of the 2005-2006 Big 12 Conference Championships in February.
"The pool at Mizzou is new, and we are looking to reach our potential and get comfortable and excited in their pool."
end for the Jayhawks.
Following Friday's relay meet in Columbia, Mo., Kansas will head to Kirksville, Mo., for a dual meet against Truman State, which has won five consecutive Division II National Championships.
Campbell recognized that the back-to-back meets would be physically challenging.
"We've got to get used to back-to-back meets because that's how championship meets are formatted." Campbell said. "We need to bounce back and race our best, because Truman State is looking to knock off a Division I team."
Schramka said the fatigue would not be an issue this week-
"Our program strives to prepare us during practice; we work hard so that when back-to-back meets come, we're prepared," Schramka said.
The Jayhawks last faced the Bulldogs Jan. 21, 2005, at Robinson Natatorium, and came on top 177-103.
"It is a serious challenge to us that they're at home in their pool." Campbell said. "When you win national championships, you don't have any weaknesses."
The Truman State dual meet will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday following the all-day Big 12 relay meet on Friday.

Senior's hat trick helps her earn Big 12 honors
For the second time in her Kansas career, senior forward Jessica Smith was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.
Smith's play in the last week sparked a turning point in the Jayhawks' season.
Her first collegiate hat trick against Oklahoma State last Friday helped push her squad to a 4-1 victory against the Cowgirls.
She struck again in the second game of the weekend, adding number two of three goals against the Oklahoma Sooners in a 3-0 victory on Sunday.
After a slow start to her senior season, Smith has said her abundance of offense is a "sigh of relief" and has since shown no signs of letting up.
As the second Jessica to be named to the 2005 Big 12 player of the week list - Jessica Bush was named earlier this season - Smith now has nine points on the season.
Her team heads to Lubbock, Texas, this weekend to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders before facing off against the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo., this Sunday.

Maintaining momentum
The Kansas soccer team won't have a fall break this year.
Jayhawks fourth in Big 12
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
abauer.SPORTWRITER
"Once you realize what you're capable of doing, I think it's just an open door now for us to improve and get better," said Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis.
This weekend the Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas, and Boulder, Colo., with momentum on their side. Kansas will face Texas Tech at 7 p.m. on Friday and Colorado at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
The performances raised Kansas from eighth place to fourth place in Big 12 Conference standings.
The momentum came from home victories against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma last weekend.
The Red Raiders are last in the Big 12 and have not won a match since August, when they topped Sam Houston State, 3-2, in overtime.
Kansas (7-5-2, 3-2-1 Big 12)
will look to add to Texas Tech's
10-game losing skid (1-12-0,
0-4-0 Big 12).
"In the conference, any game is tough, especially on the road," Francis said. "We have to address the game the same way, regardless of who we are playing."
The Red Raiders have not scored in their last four matches and were outscored 14-0 in that span.
Texas shut them out in a 6-0 defeat last Sunday. The Red Raiders had two shots on goal in the game.
Texas Tech forward Kimmie Davis leads the team in goals.

six, and points, 13.
Kansas will face Colorado (7-5-2, 3-2-0 Big 12) on Sunday.
The Buffaloes are coming off of a weekend sweep of their own, shutting out Northern Colorado on Sunday. 3-0, and Texas, 2-0, last Friday.
Kansan file photo
Colorado is in sixth place in the Conference.
"With the conference being so close, I don't think anyone can afford to give up any points," Francis said. "We only have four conference games left. We have to go out and win them all."
Kansas will look to the recent play of senior forward Jessica Smith to hold off Texas Tech and Colorado.
Colorado midfielder Fran Munnelly lit up the field last weekend, knocking in a goal against Texas before adding a pair of them against Northern Colorado.
Munnelly leads the Buffaloes with eight goals for 19 points.
Smith scored four goals last weekend,including her first career hat trick against Oklahoma State.
She was named Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week for her performance.
Smith said. "We're confident in that."
"We're looking forward to coming out this weekend and winning both games,"
Freshman keeper Julie Hanley will likely be in goal after posting a 3-0 record and a .81 GAA. Hanley has allowed three goals and has saved 14.
"I think Julie did very well this weekend," Francis said. "She'll continue to play right now."

Last year's champs fall to sixth overall
Kansas won the tournament last year at Alvamar Golf and Country Club.
The Jayhawks, with a team score of 923, were paced by junior Amanda Costner, who finished sixth overall with a three-round score of 220. Costner has now finished in the top 10 in all three tournaments this year.

On Monday, the Jayhawks shot an unimpressive team score of 315 in the first round, but bounced back with 297 in the second round.
TCU won this year's tournament with an 869 three-round total. All five of the Horned Frogs' golfers placed in the top ten individually.
"We didn't play very smart golf in the first round, but the second round was much better." Kansas coach Erin O'Neil said.
At the start of the third round yesterday, Kansas was in fifth place — well behind Oral Roberts, the fourth place team. The Jayhawks shot a score of 311, dropping beneath Missouri State in the standings.
Nebraska, Kansas State, Oral Roberts, and Missouri State rounded out the top five after TCU.

Cardinals player uses break to nurse injuries
ST. LOUIS — The extra day the St. Louis Cardinals have had between playoff series has been a much-needed break for Larry Walker. The 38-year-old right fielder was hit by a pitch on his right knee in Game 6 of the division series sweep of the Padres and needed therapy to reduce swelling in time for the NLCS rematch against the Houston Astros that begins tonight.
Walker said getting plunked in the knee by Woody Williams in the second inning was much worse than the nasty-looking spill he took over a railing while chasing a foul ball later in the game. It's the latest injury for Walker, who has received four
cortisone shots this season for a herniated disc in his neck.
MLB
"Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to play yesterday with my knee," Walker said. Walker had no explanation for his head-over-heels tumble over the waist-high railing, after it appeared he had stopped.
"I don't know what that was about," he said. "I apologize for that, but it was a perfect landing. Nothing went wrong."
Walker is enjoying his second straight postseason appearance with the Cardinals after making it only once in his first 14 seasons. The Cardinals acquired him in August 2004.

"That is the question we are trying to answer right now why the carry over from practice to the game is not as high as it should be." Simmons said.
This weekend's game at Arrowhead Stadium will mark the first time that Kansas has played at the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mangino said he expected a large number of Kansas alumni in Kansas City, Mo., to attend the game.
Senior linebacker Kevin Kane is from Parkville, Mo., and has been a Chiefs fan his entire life.
"I got a bunch of family coming to this game, being from Kansas City," he said. "I have never had a chance to play in Arrowhead. It is going to be an awesome time."
SPORTS
Oklahoma fans will also be expected to make their presence felt.
"Oklahoma will travel well; they always do," Mangino said. "How big their contingency will be I don't know at this point in time."
Football Notes:
Mangino named the team players of the week at Tuesday's press conference. Senior linebackers Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman were named defensive players of the week, while tight end Derek Fine was named special teams player of the week. Mangino did not select an offensive player of the week.
The Big 12 Conference announced Tuesday that the Oct. 22 contest between Kansas and Colorado would kick off at 6 p.m. The game will not be televised.

Mangino said that ultimately Luke's passing ability outweighed his mental errors.
Sure, Luke has made mistakes during the past few weeks, but so has every offensive player. Mangino has been critical of Luke's decision to twice call options deep in Kansas territory that resulted in turnovers, in both cases running backs attributed to the miffed pitches. Luke also threw some bad interceptions against Texas Tech, but his receivers were rarely open and he was continually rushed in the pocket.
"We feel like Brian gives us the best opportunity to win," Mangino said. "When protected, he delivers the ball better than any other quarterback we have."
Making the situation better is that Mangino said Luke was the only quarterback he planned to use in Saturday's game.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
He said that in meetings with Luke, he told him he was looking for him to start, finish and win the game. He added that to help cut down on mental errors he told Luke to trust his initial feelings and not worry about the consequences.
This will work wonders for Luke's confidence. Last year, he played in two games without fear of being replaced and excelled. During those games he almost led Kansas to an upset of Texas and defeated Missouri on the road.
There's no telling if Mangino's faith in Luke will return him to his old form, but it can only help
Luke will also be helped with the addition of a new weapon he can throw the ball to.
The Herford quarterback experiment seems to be over, for now, and it will be good to see one of the Jayhawks' best athletes do something besides ride the bench.
In preseason practices Herford dazzled the media by burning junior cornerback Charles Gordon for a touchdown pass, and he showed promise during last week's game by gaining big vardage on a trick play.
With him and Luke on the field at the same time, Kansas' offense still won't resemble the offense that normally plays at Arrowhead Stadium, but it will surely be an improvement from last week.

Let's talk about a new Royals stadium
Jon Copaken, chairman of The Downtown Council presents the council's ideas about a downtown baseball park for the Kansas City Royals during a forum Tuesday at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, Mo. Part of the presentation featured an artist's concept of the ball park.
THE REVOLUTIONARY CAMPAIGN OF 1982
Phog
where they made vows to "lead the team through blood and sweat" and "honor the tradition of Kansas basketball" to Danny Manning and Mike Maddox, members of the 1988 championship team. The sophomore class stole the show by performing its best imitation of The Tempations. The entertainment capped off when the team members gathered in a circle and danced to "Step In the Name of Love" and "Drop It Like It's Hot."
"I have just been waiting to get out there and get the season started," Wright said. "Being here last year, it just looked like the guys were having so much fun."
Wright, a freshman forward, said he had been looking forward to participating in Late Night since he got to the University this summer.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
The celebration for the women's basketball team will start about 6:30 p.m and last until about 8 p.m. The women's team will perform skits and have a short scrimmage. After that, all eyes will be on this year's men's basketball team.
For about an hour on Friday night, Kansas fans will see a side of the players that is seldom revealed on the basketball court. The team will transform themselves into singing and dancing fools as each class performs a skit. Last year, members of the senior class dressed in tuxedos and performed a dream skit
Self said the excitement that Late Night brings to the players is one of the best parts about the event.
"It is a really fun time for the guys, and it gets them all jacked up about the season." Self said.
After all of the dancing and laughing is over, the team will put on a more serious face for a short scrimmage. Since broadcasting the scrimmage will take place at 8:40 p.m. and include warm-ups, not all of the scrimmage will fit into the block of time before 9 p.m. The end of scrimmage will only be seen by the fieldhouse faithful.
Self said that this year's Late Night would be more coordinated than in past years. There will also be a few modifications to the performances.
"We will do a couple of things as a team this year." Self said.
With the added excitement of the national broadcast, Self encouraged fans and the student body to share in the excitement, despite the fact that it would be fall break.
"We appreciate everybody who sticks around during fall break or even comes back for Late Night," Self said. "This is probably as important a Late Night as we've had."

Showdown
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Sophomore outside hitter Na Yang leads the Tigers attack. The Shan Dong, China, native averages 4.12 kills per game. She ranks sixth in the Big 12 in that department.
The jayhawks have a bye today for the first time this season. Bechard said he was glad to have the extra time to work on execution before Saturday's
match and that the timing was fortunate. The team was able to take a day off Tuesday before it returns to practice today.
The Jayhawks will use the extra practice this week to adjust to new assignments. With the season-ending injury to junior outside hitter Jana Correa, the Jayhawks have had to shuffle their rotation. Junior Megan Hill has replaced Correa in the starting lineup, and junior Dani
Wittman and freshman Liz Ingram have seen more action as defensive specialists.
Bechard said the team had moved on and was focusing on getting back on a winning track.
"We're not talking about that anymore," he said. "We're going to roll with the players we have. We think we can still meet many of our goals, and everybody's tightened up the circle a little bit."
Brown said the Jayhawks would be ready for a tough match. She said they were confident they could compete with the Tigers because they both had similar results against Nebraska.
"Mizzou is a very good technical team, a quality team every year," she said. "We will have to play well, but we think we can go there and win."

A little friendly competition
MLB
Houston Astros outfielder Luke Scott shags balls during the team's workout on Tuesday in St. Louis. The Astros will face the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of its National League Championship Series today.
2574 Astros NA H SAI
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
All right! Let's have some fightin' words between these obviously bitter rivals.
ST. LOUIS They are members of the same division. They're perennial playoff teams. And they're meeting for the second year in a row with a trip to the World Series at stake.
"They run a classy organization over there," said Lance Berkman of the Houston Astros. "We have a lot of respect for them."
Hmm, maybe we'll fare better at stirring things up in the opposing clubhouse.
"They're a good bunch of guys," said David Eckstein of the St. Louis Cardinals. "It's hard to dislike them."
Thud.
Clearly, this isn't Middle America's version of Yankees-Red Sox. In fact, it's not even close to being the best rivalry in the NL Central — the Cardinals-Cubs.
"That's at a different level because of the fans," Eckstein conceded. "I don't know that you'll find a Cardinals fan who says he hates the Astros more than the Cubs."
But, when it comes to performance on the field, the Cardinals and Astros have risen to the top of the senior circuit.
They're back for the first NL championship series rematch in 13 years, which begins with Game 1 tonight at soon-to-bed demolished Busch Stadium (a new stadium, set to open in 2006, is rising next door).
"It's a classic from a baseball standpoint," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "Maybe you don't get as much passion from the fans during Cardinals-Astros as you do for Cardinals-Cubs.
But we're building a pretty good passion base for our fans and for each other because we play so much."
Indeed, there are many similarities between the teams.
Both have deep starting rotations. Both have dominating closers. Both have versatile offenses that can go long or manufacture runs when the situation calls for it. And both are making a habit of playing in October.
St. Louis has six playoff appearances over the past decade, reaching the NLCS four times and the World Series a year ago with a seven-game victory against the Astros.
Houston is making its sixth playoff appearance in nine years and looking to reach the World Series for the first time in franchise history. The Astros made a breakthrough last year by escaping the opening round. They knocked off the Braves again this year, advancing with an 18-inning win Sunday — the longest game in postseason history.
The Cardinals stayed alive when Jim Edmonds hit a game-winning homer in the 12th inning of Game 6.
The Cardinals followed up last year's NL pennant — the 16th in franchise history — by going 11-5 against the Astros this season on the way to 100 wins and a runaway victory in the Central Division.
"It's not really going to be
a rivalry until we start beating the Cardinals a couple of times," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "When they go home mad, then it will be a rivalry. Right now, it's kind of one-sided."
But he acknowledges the parallels between the teams, right down to the makeovers both underwent since their first meeting in the NLCS, changes brought on by frail health and monetary
decisions.
"On the field, it's a classic," La Russa said. "We play the game the same way."
OK, so Astros-Cardinals doesn't qualify as a rivalry in the classic sense — there's just not enough trash-talking.
"It may not be intense in the stands, but it's intense on the field," Berkman said. "It's not a rivalry of hatred. It's a rivalry of mutual respect."

Angels take Game 1

Los Angeles wins opener on little rest
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Los Angeles Angels' Chone Figgins steals second base as Chicago White Sox second baseman Tadahito Iguchi of Japan corrals the throw from White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Tuesday, The Angels won, 3-2.
CHICAGO — The Los Angeles Angels will have plenty of time to rest. Right now, they're too busy winning.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Paul Byrd pitched effectively in a pinch, Garret Anderson homered, and the travel-weary Angels edged the Chicago White Sox 3-2 Tuesday night in the opener of the AL championship series.
Scot Shields retired slugger Paul Konerko with two on to end the eighth. Francisco Rodriguez worked around third baseman Chone Figgins' error to begin the bottom of the ninth and struck out Joe Crede to close it out.
The Cuban right-hander worked into the ninth inning but lost for the first time since Aug. 15, ending his nine-start winning streak.
Recovering from a throat infection and fever, Jarrod Washburn is slated to pitch Game 2 for the Angels tonight against All-Star starter Mark Buehrle.
Chicago had won eight games in a row going back to the regular season, but fell short against a Los Angeles team playing in its third time zone in three nights.
The Angels won Game 1 for the first time in six postseason series under manager Mike Scioscia.
The Angels were supposed to be more than a little jet-lagged. Sunday night, they were on the East Coast, playing the Yankees. Monday night, they were back on the West Coast, beating New York. Now, they're in the Midwest, with no off-day until Thursday.
Seeking their first World Series berth in 46 years and first championship since 1917, the White Sox got another outstanding outing from Jose Contreras but couldn't manage much offense.
But Los Angeles was plenty fresh for the ALCS opener, thanks to Byrd and his bullpen.
The Angels lost in New York on Sunday, forcing them to fly cross-country overnight for a decisive Game 5. They made a pit stop at home for a series-clinching victory Monday night, then jumped on a redeye to the Midwest and arrived at their hotel around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The 34-year-old right-hander walked only 28 batters all season and his throwback delivery, with arms rocking back behind
him like a right-handed Whitey Ford, belongs in a flickering old cut of black-and-white film footage.
A 12-game winner during the regular season, Byrd got the Game 1 start because he was the only option left. The first-round series took a toll on Los Angeles' pitching staff, and ace Bartolo Colon was left off the ALCS roster because of a shoulder injury.
Working on only three days' rest, Byrd slipped on the mound while throwing a first-inning pitch to leadoff batter Scott Podsednik, then held Chicago in check for six-plus innings to earn his first postseason victory.

NEWYORK — George Lopez and his wife, Ann, who donated a kidney to the actor-comedian earlier this year, have been named national spokespeople for the National Kidney Foundation.

The Great Cat's Pee
By F. Scott Fitzgerald
This book was amazing, I really liked it. The characters were really interesting to read about and their story is quite compelling too. My favorite character in this American classic is named Daisy. Daisy is so interesting in every way. Another interesting character is named "Old Sport." Old Sport knows Daisy and her friend Tom. Tom is a boy. There are lots of good reasons to read the book and I'm glad that it was assigned. If I was to turn up my experience reading The Great Cat's Pee in one word, that would be "Terrific."
SQUIRREL, YOU MISSPELLED "FITZGERALD" AND THE TITLE IS "THE GREAT GATSBY," NOT "THE GREAT CAT'S PEE."

You are unusually creative. Use your dynamic imagination to improve the quality of your life, work and relationships. Others adore your ingenuity and often seek you out. A child could play a big role in your year as well as in an artistic creation. Friends could be skeptical or play devil's advocate. Make that OK with you. Be supportive to someone who might be depressed this year. If you are single, you certainly will have the opportunity to change that status. Ah, romance. If you are attached, plan a second honeymoon, or a first one! Know that your imagination could lead you down some strange paths. AQUARIUS knows how to make you smile.

'Hawks need offense Sooner than later
KU Blitz
AT A GLANCI
5 QUICK FACTS
3 The current winning streak for Oklahoma over Kansas.
- Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named senior quarterback Brian Luke the starter this week. Luke will need to rebound from last week's 4-of-13 performance to move the Kansas offense. But if Luke can complete passes early, look for junior running back Jon Cornish to have a big day.
3
LAST TIME OUT
Oklahoma has won the previous three games against Kansas, including a 41-10 victory last season. Kansas and Oklahoma have both struggled on offense this season and rely on their running attacks to move the football. Look for both defenses to play against the run.
The Kansas offense failed to get anything done last week in a 12-3 loss against Kansas State. The quarterback position was the main area of concern; Kansas only completed seven passes. The Jayhawks will need to convert in the red zone as well.

PLAYER TO WATCH

KEY INJURIES
♦ The Jayhawks will once again play without junior wide receiver Jonathan Lamb this week. Details on Lamb's injury are unknown because Mangino does not discuss injury specifics.
KEY TO VICTORY
If Luke is able to get the Jayhawks moving down the field, Kansas will have a chance at victory. The Kansas offense doesn't have to do much, but it will have to get in the end zone to give the defense a chance. If the defense can force turnovers and set up the offense with good field position, winning will become more feasible.
Kansas vs. Oklahoma 6 p.m., Saturday, Arrowhead Stadium
Kansas OFFENSE
The Kansas offense had its worst offensive performance of the Mark Mangino era against Kansas State last week. The team was unable to move the football, gaining just 236 yards of total offense. The offense also could not move the ball in the red zone, converting one of four tries. Kansas quarterbacks completed just seven passes. This week, Mangino will go with senior quarterback Brian Luke, who has started three games this season. Luke will need to prove that the Kansas offense can throw the football to open up the running game. Until he can do this, the Kansas offensive unit gets a zero ranking.
DEFENSE
KU
DEFENSE KU KU KU KU
While the Kansas offense could not get anything going against Kansas State, the Kansas defense put together its most impressive performance of the season. The Jayhawk defense was led by senior linebacker Kevin Kane with 14 tackles and held the Wildcat rushing attack to just 35 yards on 45 carries. The Jayhawks will have to be even more successful this week against one of the nation's best running backs in Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson. Look for the Jayhawk linebackers to stack up against the run and make quarterback Rhett Bomar throw the football.

The Kansas special teams unit made its first big mistake of the season against Kansas State when junior cornerback Charles Gordon fumbled a punt return in Kansas territory. Other than that, the unit has been strong. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker consistently places the ball deep into opposing territories, and the punt and kickoff coverage has not allowed a big return yet. With the Kansas offense sputtering, sophomore kicker Scott Webb may be the difference maker in this game. If the offense can get Webb close enough for field goals, he could be the hero.

Mangino's quarterback shuffle has been confusing this season. He has shown that the quarterbacks could be pulled at any time. Mangino said
his hope was that Luke would play the entire game against Oklahoma. The offensive play calling has been a concern this season as well. Mangino elected to remove freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford from the quarterback position last week after the Jayhawks moved into the red zone. Three plays later, junior Adam Barmann, who replaced Herford, turned the ball over. Mangino will need strong play from Luke this week if Kansas has a realistic chance against Oklahoma.

It's no secret that running back Adrian Peterson is the heart and soul of the Oklahoma offense. The sophomore
G
running back was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season and was named FirstTeam All-American after the season. This year he has been hobbled by an ankle injury. Peterson carried the ball only three times for 10 yards last week againstTexas, but is expected to start and play this weekend. Another weapon on offense for the Sooners is senior wide receiver Travis Wilson. He caught 11 touchdowns last season, but hasn't found the end zone yet. The Sooners are anchored on the offensive line by senior offensive tackle Davin Joseph. Joseph has been starting since his freshman year and is an All-American candidate this season.

The Sooners are usually known for their dominating defense, and although this year's
OU
defense lacks a true superstar, it still ranks in the top 20 in rush defense in the country. Juniors Zach Latimer and Rufus Alexander lead the Sooner defense in tackling, and Alexander is a candidate for the Butkus Award, which is given to the nation's top linebacker. Senior Dusty Dvoracek leads the defensive line with 23 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks. Dvoracek missed the 2004 season because of disciplinary problems, but has had no problems this season. In the defensive backfield, the Sooners boast two true freshman at safety, Reggie Smith and Nic Harris. Both players started the past two games and are expected to start this weekend against Kansas.

Sophomore Garrett Hartley will handle the kicking duties for the Sooners this weekend. Hartley hit a career-long

Smith and Wilson will handle the kick return duties, and senior wide receiver Jejuan Rankins is the team's punt returner. Rankins is averaging just more than 11 yards per return.

It doesn't get much better than Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops. Stoops won a national championship in just his second year in 2000, and since then, the Sooners have won at least 11 games in each season. Stoops' record at Oklahoma is 69-15. He has led Oklahoma to four BCS bowl games. Stoops was named consensus Big 12 coach of the year in 2000 and 2003. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino coached under Stoops

AT A GLANCE
+ Oklahoma's season got off to a bad start when it lost to Texas Christian at home and UCLA on the road. Oklahoma (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) won its opening conference game of the season, defeating Kansas State 43-21 at home, but was crushed by Texas to fall to 1-1 in conference.
LAST TIME OUT
- Oklahoma finally lost a game to rival Texas last week, 45-12. The Sooners had beaten the Longhorns five times in a row before the loss. Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson tried to play last weekend but left the game after just three carries
PLAYER TO WATCH
- If Adrian Peterson is healthy and, it will be a good test for the Kansas defense. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Peterson is one of the best, if not the best, running backs in the country. Peterson ran for 1,925 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown last year against Kansas

KEY INJURIES
The main injury for the Sooners this weekend is Peterson. The coaching staff expects him to be ready for the game and to play the majority of it. Peterson has had trouble exploding off his ankle this season. He will look to turn his season around this weekend against the Jayhawks.
KEY TO VICTORY
Kansas didn't draw the best weekend to play Oklahoma, as the Sooners lost 45-12 to the Longhorns last weekend. Expect the Sooners to come out firing early on Saturday. If they build a lead, the Jayhawks have no chance.

Around the Big 12
Colorado at Texas
Why: Colorado has started its conference play on fire, winning its first two games by 34 points and 21 points respectively. Texas is coming off an emotional victory, where it defeated Oklahoma 45-12 for the first time in five years. ESPN tapped Texas quarterback Vince Young, a top Helsman trophy candida Texas enters the game ranked No. 2 nationally.

NBU
Nebraska at Baylor
When: Saturday, 3 p.m.
Where: Waco, Texas
Why: Baylor will look to win its second conference game in a row for the first time in school history. With four victories already this season, Baylor only needs two victories the rest of the season to make a bowl game. Nebraska comes into the game 1-1 in conference play. The Cornhuskers dropped a heartbreaker last week to Texas Tech 34-31. Nebraska is paced by its senior running back, Cory Ross. He has run for 456 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Pearl State
When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
Where: Columbia, Mo.
iowa State at Missouri
Why? This is a key match-up in the Big 12 North division. Missouri enters the game 1-1 in conference play, while Iowa State is 0-2. Now, in the third game of the conference season with only three victories, the Missouri game becomes a must-win for the Cyclones. Missouri notched its first conference victory of the season last weekend, when it traveled to Stillwater, Okla., and defeated Oklahoma State, 38-31.
Kansas State at Texas Tech
T
When: Saturday, 11 a.m.
Where: Lubbock, Texas
Why: Both teams enter the game coming off close victories. Kansas State defeated Kansas at home 12-3 in a battle of defenses. Texas Tech defeated Nebraska on the road last weekend with a last-minute touchdown pass. The Red Raiders have the number one scoring offense in the conference, averaging more than 50 points per game. Last year in Manhattan, Tech came away with a 35-25 road victory.

The Aggies lost to the Buffaloos 41-20 last week, and will be angry for revenge. Senior quarterback Reggie McNeal leads the team. McNeal has rushed for more than 300 yards this season and thrown for more than 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns.

APARTMENT FIRE
Residents describe suspect
MONDAY, OCTOBER 17.2005

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Coworkers, acquaintances and classmates describe Jason Allen Rose as either quiet, genuinely nice or creepy.
"I want to see more evidence. I was surprised that he was taken by police," Diaz said. "He was a shy guy, he kept to himself."
Raul Diaz, Los Angeles graduate student, said he lived on the third floor of Boardwalk Apartments and Rose lived on the first floor.
He said he talked to Rose when he saw him outside a few times a week.
Diaz said he saw Rose with another man at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., after the fire the morning of Oct. 7. Diaz told Rose he was glad Rose was OK, but Rose didn't say much and seemed calm and himself, he said.
Diaz said Rose's companion didn't speak during the encounter.
"I talked to Jason but this other guy was like a stone," he said.
Rose was charged with three counts of first-degree felony murder and one count of aggravated arson in connection with the fire at the Boardwalk Apartments on Wednesday in the 500 block of Fireside Road.
Two people are confirmed dead, one of them is Nicole Bingham, Wichita senior. Another man, Jose Gonzalez, 50, is missing and presumed dead.
Ginny Weatherman, Bucyrus senior and University Daily Kansan photographer, said she spoke with Rose three to four times per week for a month.
Rose previously lived in a group home, The Villages, 1149 E. 1200 Road, and recently moved to the Boardwalk Apartments.
Robert Kidder, an employee at
The Villages, refused to comment.
Weatherman described Diaz as her best friend. She said Rosewould sit outside the building and smoke cigarettes when she and her dogs would visit Diaz at his apartment.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Jason Allen Rose, who was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated arson, will
appear in court again next Monday.
Rose, 20-year-old Lawrence resident, made his first appearance in an orange jumpsuit Wednesday via closed circuit television from the Douglas County Jail.
The charges came less than one week after the Oct. 7 fire that destroyed the Boardwalk Apartments in the 500 block of Fireside Drive. The apartment fire killed Nicole Bingham, Wichita senior, and 33-year-old Yolanda Riddle, and may have killed 50-
year-old Jose Gonzalez.
"It's pretty rare that you get a decision this quickly on a case like this," District Attorney Charles Branson said in a press conference Wednesday.

Freshman forward Julian Wright performs a step show with freshman guard Micah Downs and the men's basketball team during Late Night in the Phog on Friday at Allen Fieldhouse. After the step show, the men's basketball team scrimmaged for 20 minutes. Micah Downs led all scorers with 12 points.
Everything about Late Night was new, from the format, to the players to Allen Fieldhouse.
Construction crews spent
A new-look Allen Fieldhouse was nearly packed by 15,750 fans. It was the new video board and lighting system that received the most attention before the men's players took the court. Fans watched as a video of Kansas players in the NBA blasted over the new board and got wild when a highlight video of KU basketball history played.
For the first time in the 21-year history of Late Night, the festivities started at 6:30 p.m. instead of about 9 p.m. A new NCAA rule that went into effect this year allows teams to start their scrimmages the evening before the first official day of practice.
"We needed something new, to be honest, to re-energize us after the way last season ended. Allen and the new recruiting class and the addition of Brandon, all those things have definitely pumped some adrenaline into us," KU men's basketball coach Bill Self said.
Perhaps most of the newness, however, came when the current Jayhawks took the court about 8 p.m. Dressed in toxedos and Adidas tennis shoes, the players formed a line and swayed to the Rock Chalk chant that sounded from a saxophone at center court. Next, the players formed three lines and performed a rhythmic sequence.
"We needed something new to be honest with you," Self said. The team then inducted its freshmen with a jump rope.
As opposed to each class performing an individual skit, the team topled to perform team skits.
"I think the thought was that we wanted to have one good one instead of four average ones," senior guard Stephen Vinson said.
The men's festivities, which were broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPNU, were highlighted by a dunk contest and a 20-minute scrimmage. Dunks by freshmen Julian Wright and Micah Downs and sophomore Rodrick Stewart were among the highlights. On one play, Stewart put the ball between his legs while he was in the air and then brought the ball back up over his head before slamming it home.
SCRIMMAGE STATISTICS
At Late Night on Friday, the Red Team defeated the Blue team 48-30. Freshman guard Micah Downs led all scorers with 12 points. Sophomore guard Russell Robinson led all rebounds with six rebounds, five defensive and one offensive.

2A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
this week in KU HISTORY
BY KELSEY HAYES editor@kansan.com KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Oct. 17, 1944
In preparation for the 1944 presidential elections — a pivotal election because of World War II — members of the Democratic and Republican parties distributed fliers, stickers and political pamphlets en masse on campus. The 1944 candidates were Franklin Delano Roosevelt on the Democratic ticket and Thomas Dewey on the Republican ticket.
Democrats circulated literature regarding the labor-friendly Political Action Committee and held a town rally Oct. 2, Senatorial candidate Thurman Hill and gubernatorial candidate Robert Lemon spoke at the rally.
Republicans surveyed so-called Deweyites on campus and held voter registration drives. The University's Socialist party also published copies of its magazine, The Informer, and made them available to students. The all-campus election was Nov 3, 1944.
Oct. 17, 1992
The Jayhawk football team overcame the largest deficit in school history when it defeated Iowa State 50-47. At one time, the University trailed the Cyclones by 26 points. Each team collected more than 500 vards on offense.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said in a University Daily Kansan article that it was a tremendous victory for Kansas.
"To come from behind we did, there's only one way to describe it. It's because of T-E-A-M. Nothing else," he said.
Among the highlights of the game was quarterback Chip Hillleary surpassing 5,000 yards of career offense, the third player in Kansas football history to do so.
Despite the victory, Kansas' then second-ranked defense fell in the polls. Before surrendering yardage in excess of 500 to Iowa State, the defense had given up only 209.2 yards per game that season.

the door locked. Students said McBride expected a lot out of them and had no tolerance for tardiness and late homework.
Regarding the difficulty of his tests, McBride joked in his profile, "There are tests where the first question any student can answer. The second question, the good students can answer. The third question, only the teacher and God can answer and the fourth, only the teacher can answer."
McBride went on to win the HOPE award.
STUDENT LIFE
For some, parenting as much a part of college as classwork
Balancing obligations

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dayvid Prahl, Baldwin City senior, juggles teaching and a military career with his role as a father and husband.
Whenever the baby sleeps and Hauber makes it to the library he cracks his books and studies.
Eric Hauber jumps out of bed as a loud noise wakes him up to get ready for school. The noise isn't his alarm clock, it's his newborn son, George.
The Shawnee senior is one of several college students trying to balance the responsibilities of a family, school and work.
"It's stressful but it isn't because it's exciting," Eric said. "I just take things day by day, hour by hour."
He is a student, algebra teacher, Air Force ROTC cadet, husband to Michelle
The new dad is still learning how to juggle working 30 hours a week and taking 15 credit hours at the University of Kansas.
After spending a week in the hospital with his wife, Ashley, he's still trying to make up for the week he missed.
Finding time for school work can be difficult between changing diapers and playing with George, Eric said.
- Source: Spencer Research Library. Edited by Katie Lohrenz
One piece of advice concerning how to juggle those increased responsibilities came from his supervisor this summer, and he continues to remember his words.
"He said, 'You got to juggle them, but the trick is you got to know which balls are made of glass. Which ones are the ones you absolutely cannot drop.'"
Dayvid said the most important thing to him is his family, and sometimes other responsibilities, such as writing a paper or studying for a test, suffer.
When Audrey Pool, Great Bend graduate student, learned she was having a baby she worried about what other people would think of her.
Prahl and father to 12-week-old Nora.
The Prahls have been able to structure their work and class schedule so someone is with the baby all the time and each parent can spend time on school work.
She said she didn't talk much about her son initially.
The arrival of a new daughter forced Dayvid to become more organized and more efficient in his time management.
Now she takes Simon, 2, to her classes and lets everyone know how proud she is of being a mother.
He said, 'You got to juggle them, but the trick is you got to know which balls are made of glass. Which ones are the ones you absolutely cannot drop."
Dayvid Prahl Baldwin City senior
"I love my life. I love being called mommy because that's who I am," she said.
For Eric, getting away from the stress of school work means going to work as a carpenter.
He said working 30 hours a week and doing something that was "enjoyable" provided an opportunity to relax, as well as the opportunity to provide for his family.
Audrey said having a child worried her at first, but she has overcome that.
Eric said the financial responsibility of supporting a family as a college student could be difficult but is manageable with hard work.
He said he paid attention to where money is spent so the bills get paid.
For the Haubers, life slows down when the clock reads 7:00 and George goes to bed. That is, until the next time he cries.

Accident leaves four dead,11 injured
OSSEO, Wis. — A bus carrying high school students home from a band competition crashed into a tractor-trailer that had jackknifed on the interstate early Sunday, killing four adults and an 11-year-old girl, officials said.
Twenty-nine others were injured, some seriously, troopers said.
NATION
"It's a terrific tragedy and loss to our school and community," said Chippewa Falls schools superintendent Mike Schoch.
The semi had gone off the shoulder of Interstate 94 and jackknifed, and was blocking the westbound lane, Wisconsin State Patrol Capt. Douglas Notbohm said.
"I don't know how much opportunity there was for braking action" he said. The bus slammed into the overturned truck, but it didn't roll or catch fire, patrol spokesman Brent Pickard said.
It was the first of four buses carrying about 200 students and 40 adult chaperones, Schoch said.
Four students and three adults remained hospitalized Sunday night.

Renovations
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Late Night was the first opportunity for fans to see the renovations made during the summer and fall. The improvements included freshly painted bleachers, refurbished chair-back seats, new lighting and sound systems and renovated bathrooms. The most noticeable addition was the large video board hanging over center court.
Chandler Hess, Lawrence junior, said he liked the new video board but wanted to see more graphics than just the Jayhawk logo.
The four-panel board displayed the game score and a message board at the top, replay board in the center and another message board at the bottom. The Russell Stover Candies logo ran near the bottom, in recognition of the company's owners, the Ward family, who funded the interior renovations to the fieldhouse.
"I think the video board has a chance," Hess said. "We'll see as the season goes along if it was a good decision."
During Late Night, the video board showed video packages introducing the men's and women's basketball teams and shots of fans in the crowd throughout the night.
A new hardwood court, with added cushioning, was installed last month to reduce player injuries. The design is the similar to the design used the last two seasons. The only difference is the Jayhawk at center court that features the new KU logo.
As part of the renovation, the building received a detailed cleaning.
Liz Roybal, Andover junior, said the building seemed cleaner and less dusty than in past years, but it doesn't seem any different, despite its fresh look.
"It it still has a sense of tradition," Roybal said, "but now it just has a more updated feel."
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the most important part of the renovation was maintaining the building's atmosphere.
He said the retro style of the new additions, including the lights, speakers and video board, added to the old-time feel of the 51-year-old building.
Chris Schulte, Wichita resident, said he thought the atmosphere was maintained, even with the additions to the building.
"The key is making it better for the players, but keeping the magic of Allen Fieldhouse intact." Schulte said. "I think they thought it off."
The bleachers and stairs in the three levels of the fieldhouse were painted crimson and blue. Schulte said he thought the improvements, such as the fresh paint, helped make the fieldhouse seem new.
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics is still under construction on the east lawn of the fieldhouse. The new Hall of Athletics is expected to be completed in time for the first men's basketball game against Idaho State on Nov. 18.

During the hearing, Judge Pro Tern Peggy Kittel set bail for Rose at $500,000. Branson recommended such a high bail amount to keep Rose from leaving town.
Branson said at the press conference there was not enough information yet to know if his office would seek the death penalty. If Rose is convicted of all charges, he could face life in prison.
Mark Bradford, interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department, said at the press conference that interviews and information at the scene led to the arson investigation and the suspect. More than 600 contacts were made in the investigation.
The third body has not yet been confirmed as Lawrence resident Jose Gonzalez. Bradford said it could take days or weeks for the body to be identified. Rose was charged with Gonzalez's murder.
The work between local agencies and state and federal agencies helped lead to a quick investigation and suspect, Bradford said.
"You have a good sound solution, a good case." Bradford said of the efficiency of the investigation.
A memorial for Bingham will be held Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave.

Heather Ryan, employee at Taco Bell, 1408 W.23rd St., said she worked with Rose for two weeks; he had worked there four months. Rose drove Ryan home from work one night and they talked at her apartment, she said.
Investigators interviewed workers at Taco Bell for three days last week, Ryan said. They asked Ryan whether Rose smoked cigarettes and if she thought he started the fire, she said. She said she thought he was innocent.
Andrew McKee, Lawrence freshman, said he and Rose had the same study hall class for three years at Lawrence High School. Rose seemed like a genuinely nice person, though McKee did not know much about him, he said.
"He was pretty much a loner." Ryan said. "A couple people were surprised he talked that much to me."
Mckee said he couldn't remember a single time Rose was teased by classmates.

"I've seen him attempt that dunk about 200 times and I think that is only the third time he has made it," Vinson said. "One for one is pretty good timing for him tonight."
On another dunk, Wright tossed the ball off the shot clock, perhaps a little too hard, but reached up and grabbed the ball with his hand and threw it down.
It was another freshman, Downs, who had the most highlights in the scrimmage. Downs was the leading scoreer, with 12 points. He was 2-for-2 from behind the three-point arc and 5-for-6 from the field. The Red team defeated the Blue team 48-30.
"I was excited all day thinking about it," Downs said. "I was so nervous. It was so crazy with 16,000 people in there. It was by far the most

Only freshman Julian Wright struggled, mainly because of nerves, Self said.
Downs' fellow freshmen also performed well in the scrimmage. Mario Chalmers was the second-leading scorer with nine points, going 4-for-8 from the field. Brandon Rush went 4-for-6 for eight points. Both Rush and Chalmers wowed the crowd with some of the best passes of the night.
"I thought playing in front of the crowd for the first time, they played pretty well." Self said.
"They can all pass." Self said.
"I think they share it well."
Of the veterans, sophomore forward C.J. Giles, who put on 25 pounds in the offseason, was impressive in the paint. He was also able to keep up with the quick pace of the game. He finished with seven points and six rebounds. Sophomore point guard Russell Robinson scored only one point but dished out seven assists, while Darnell Jackson added eight points. Stewart also added seven points. Senior Stephen Vinson, who was awarded a scholarship for this season, went 2-for-2 from three point range and 3-for-3 from the field, for a total of eight points.
Chalmers had nine points
off 4-of-8 shooting for the winning team. Rush hit 4-of-6 shots and scored eight points and the team's other freshman, Wright, was 1-of-6 shooting for two points with two assists.

Topeka area officials crack down
TOPEKA - Shawnee County court officials have been cracking down on people who don't show up for jury duty.
Through the end of September, more people summoned to serve on a jury had ducked their court date than the number who answered.
In some cases, lawyers almost ran out of qualified jurors, which would have required the presiding judge to send sheriff's deputies out into the courthouse halls or nearby neighborhood to grab potential replacements.
Considering that the court system has more jury trials these days _ so far this year, the court has held 79 jury trials compared to 67 during the same period last year _ it's a problem Chief Judge Richard Anderson isn't taking lightly.
Anderson has begun sending out letters warning no-shows that they could be held in contempt for not reporting for duty and be forced to pay a $100 fine for each day of unexcused absence.

Prosecutors pursue capital charge in shooting death of police officer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A Newton man accused of shooting a Harvey County sheriff's deputy to death could get the death penalty if he is convicted.
Prosecutors announced their decision to pursue a capital murder charge on Friday, at the close of a preliminary hearing for Gregory Moore.
Sedgwick County District Judge David Kennedy bound Moore over for trial on the capital murder charge and four counts of attempted capital murder and set a trial date of Jan. 9.
Deputy Kurt Ford and wounding Hesston Police Det. Chris Eilert early on the morning of April 9, as they and other officers in an emergency response team stormed his home in answer to a domestic violence call.
Moore is accused of killing
The officers said they went in after hearing Moore's live-in girlfriend beaten beaten.
"I started to hear gunfire, and immediately Kurt let out a groan, is the best way to put it," Elert testified during the hearing. "He fell flat on the floor. I continued in and immediately felt a burning in my right calf. I realized we were being shot at,
and that I'd been shot."
Eilert was hit four times, one of the bullets nearly severing his left index finger.
Alveda Sparks, Moore's girlfriend, testified that during a standoff that led up to the shooting, Moore promised that there would be violence.
"He said, 'There's going to be a bloodbath,' and that I was going to die with him, and that it was my fault," she said.
Sparks escaped when Moore went into another room. On her way out of the house, she ran into the officers coming in — knocking aside the lead officer, who carried a bullet-resistant shield.

WHEN IT RAINES IT POURS
Don't be a Halloweener: Get creative
PAGE 5A
It's that time of year again. America's greatest holiday is nearly upon us, a time for celebration, gatherings of loved ones, exchanges of gifts, food and cheer. Religious for some, fun for all, I'm referring, of course, to Halloween.
While Halloween is great for many, many reasons, the feature that separates it from other festivities is the opportunity, for one glorious night, to be anything you want.
It's a release from reality for the shy and socially challenged, a catharsis from conformity, the American dream without the inevitable disappointment. Donning that carefully-crafted costume grants you a license for fun without strings, a get-out-of-embarkarssent card for an evening of unbridled debauchery.
Of course, all this is contingent on choosing the right costume.
A.
This will be the most important decision you make for the next year, and those photos will be around forever, so don't take this lightly. Nothing can sink an otherwise-perfect Halloween faster than wearing a lame get-up.
Humor is the most important factor when considering a potential costume.
Man, I can't believe someone wore the same outfit as me!
Your costume should immediately evoke shrieks of laughter
CHRIS RAINE opinion@kansan.com
from on-lookers, kind of like real life, except on this special night, they'll be laughing with you, marveling at your comedic genius. If your costume can't conjure a chuckle from your fellow revelers, you've failed.
Second to humor in costume choice is originality. This doesn't necessarily mean your costume has to be an entirely original idea, but rather one that hasn't been done too recently.
Costumes are a form of fashion. You don't want to be caught wearing last year's styles.
Ladies, many of you are un-doubtedly planning on dressing as a sexy something. This is not discouraged, especially because many of you simply can't help but look sexy. But instead of your generic sexy nurse, devil, kitty-cat, etc., try dressing as something that's inherently un-sexy.
For instance, perhaps this year you should dress as a sexy lunch lady, sexy parking ticket lady or a sexy tortoise.
costumes are always a good idea.
Be it a chicken, gorilla, rhinoceros,
whatever, dressing up as a giant silly-looking animal will be a can't-miss costume.
Speaking of tortoises, animal
Group costumes are always great ideas, providing they meet the humor and originality criteria. Last year, for instance, eight friends and I posed as the Supreme Court and managed to win a costume contest. If that doesn't sound funny, well, you had to be there.
Incorporating animals into a group costume is an even better idea.
Tell me you wouldn't smile if you saw a flock of giant chickens running down Massachusetts street at one in the morning, or a swarm of giant bees shaking their stingers on the dance floor.
Couple costumes are almost always annoying. If you must dress up as a couple, remember originality and humor. Dressing as Fred and Wilma is not funny. Dressing as a priest and an altar boy is funny.
Costumes can be expensive,
but the financially-challenged
shouldn't despair. There are many
low-cost costume possibilities.
For instance, you could go dressed as a certain feminine hygiene product.
Just put on your best polo
shirt, pop the collar, and you can be rest assured that everyone will know exactly what you are.
This costume can also be worn year round.
Unfortunately there are many of you set on dressing up as pimps and hos, medical staff, rednacks, etc. You're ruining Halloween. Do everyone a favor and stay at home.
I'm sure MTV will be running Laguna Beach reruns or something, so at least you'll have entertainment, and the rest of us won't have to be brought down by your incredible levels of lame.
Halloween is only as fun as you make it, and it's one of the few times in life where the effort is all that is necessary.
This is your opportunity to be
Matthew Sevcik/KANSAN
whatever you want to be, and the only limit is your imagination.
Grab your slippers, Cinderela, and get to work on that gown Halloween is almost here, and it won't be back for another year.

▼ LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Not just sticks and stone, Mencia
Comedian Carlos Mencia and KU student Kevin Hess are wrong. Words, like actions, can do violence to people.
Consider Mencia's choice of word to back up his assertion that words are inoffensive: "cunt." Would people have agreed if he'd said "nigger" or "spick ?"
I don't think so, but his audience seemed to have no problem with a word that demeans women and their bodies. If Mencia and Hess truly think words like
"cunt" are laughable, then I'll assume they address women in their lives - family members, friends, teachers, co-workers as "cunts," to their faces, without fear of retribution.
gence. Past history and current events illustrate that language is part of oppression, racism and sexism - and also part of opposing those forces.
After all, in Mencia's world, those who use language have no responsibility for what they say. Instead, people who "let the words hurt them" are to blame. Thankfully, we are in a university environment with other information sources. We don't have to let Mencia insult our intelli-
The bottom line is that Mencia uses shock value to make money. It's no surprise that he rationalizes his act with "eitheror" thinking that is downright stupid.

Alcohol worse than marijuana
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
First of all I would like to express my condolences to Lindsay Shelton for her father's problem with pain killers. Addictions of any kind can destroy lives and families.
Being passionate does not save you from being wrong. A study done in 2002 by the U.S. National Household survey on drug abuse concluded "teenagers who tried hard drugs were predisposed to do so whether or not they tried marijuana." It also made the point that
My grandfather's abuse cost him his life and hurt his wife and children emotionally.
people generally used marijuana first simply because it was more available than harder drugs and an elimination of marijuana would not lead to elimination in harder drug use.
Just because people are willing to argue until they are blue in the face does not make the theory correct. When religious conservatives opposed Copernicus far out "round earth rotates around the sun theory" I am sure they too were willing to argue until they were blue in the face that the earth was flat.
(If our parents told us the truth we'd find out many of the smoked pot, quit and then went on to lead successful lives free of any drugs) The problem seems to stem from his overuse of Xanax.
The DEAs own studies have concluded that more than 75 percent of people who use marijuana never go on to use an harder drugs. The problem in this story was not the fact that your dad used to smoke pot in high school.
that his gateway was Xanax and not mariana.
In summation, it is imperative that KU recognizes Mr. Mencia during Hispanic Heritage Month along with other cultural programs because it displays our diversity to the nation and the world.
The point that pot is harmless like alcohol is also untrue. Alcohol is not harmless. It resulted in 85,000 deaths in the United States, in 2000. Contrast that with the zero deaths caused by marijuana.
In the article it says that you are supposed to only take it for the worst of times, but he took it for 20 years. This led to him using morphine and Oxycontin.
Alcohol also causes bar fights, spousal abuse and other social ills. It is a rarity that someone high is in the mood to do anything other than eat microwaveable burtats at 4 a.m.
I am not professional but it seems
His performance will stay with the hearts of audience members because he made them think about social issues.
There is no reason to be tough on marijuana. The only reason people crack down on marijuana is a social stigma and the fact that people keep saying "gateway drug" until people accept it as truth. But saying something is true does not make it true.

Astros push Cards to brink
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MLB
HOUSTON — First baseman Lance Berkman stretched as far as he could, squeezed the throw tight and hopped high in the air with glee.
One more win and the Astros will have the whole city of Houston jumping for joy.
Poised closer Brad Lidge pitched his way out of a major mess in the ninth inning, defensive replacement Eric Bruntlet started a game-ending double play and Houston scratched out a 2-1 victory over St. Louis on Sunday in Game 4 of the NLCS to move within one win of its first World Series.
"I'm starting to believe," said 39-year-old Craig Bignio, on the
Now it's the steaming-mad Cardinals who are in a serious jam.
"Guess what? If we're going to be a champion, we've got to come back," shortstop David Eckstein said. "We might not be able to sleep tonight, but that's normal."
Lidge stranded the potential tying run at third base to earn his third save of the series, Jason Lane honored and Willy Taveras made a saving catch on the center-field hill. Houston took advantage of a critical error by pitcher Jason Marquis — plus the ejections of St. Louis manager Tony La Russa and star Jim Edmonds by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi — to build a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
cusp of a lifelong dream.
"T'.is game, there's some real
great things about it and there's some things that absolutely stink," La Russa said, declining to talk specifically about the umpires.
Any postseason ejection is rare, and the last time a team lost two members came in 1998 when Cleveland pitcher Dwight Gooden and manager Mike Hargrove were tossed.
"I'm not trying to get thrown out of a playoff game. I don't think I was adamant," Edmonds said. "I said, I'm just trying to ask you why that ball's a strike, and asked him to do a better job and he threw me out."
A security guard in front of the umpires' room at Minute Maid park said they would not be available for comment.
The Astros can close it out at

home Monday night, with Andy Pettitte on the mound against Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter. Houston has come this far before — the Astros were one victory from the Fall Classic in 1980 and 2004, but are 0-4 overall with a chance to win the NLCS.
AUTO STUFF
"For us, it's the best one out of three right now. It doesn't get any easier," manager Phil Garner said. "We're in good position in terms of our pitching, our players and everything. But the job's still got to get done."
ROOMMATE
SUBLEASE
St. Louis has quite an uphill climb if it wants to win its second consecutive pennant. The Cardinals must face Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens in the next three games — if they can push it that far.

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.

STATE
Never before has narrowly defeating Baylor meant so much.
C
KU
In the past, Nebraska would have lost ground after escaping Waco, Texas, with a 23-14 victory. But combined with a Colorado loss to Texas, Nebraska moved up from fourth to third in this week's power rankings poll.
Baylor fell one spot with the loss, while Missouri has climbed into the top half with two consecutive conference victories.
The top of the rankings stayed the same for the third straight week. Texas humiliated Colorado 42-17 in a game that wasn't even as close as the score indicated.
The Longhorns'in-state rivals put on quite a show themselves. The Texas Tech Red Raiders set all kinds of records with their 59-20 pummeling of the Kansas State Wildcats.
Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges set a school record for passing yards in a game after going 44-for-65 for 643 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receiver Joel Filani also set a conference record for receiving yards in the game with 255.
Next week's top spot will depend entirely on what happens
in Austin, Texas, when the undefeated Red Raiders and unde feated Longhorns meet in what will probably decide who represents the Big 12 South in the conference title game.
The bottom of the poll was just a repositioning of teams without a conference victory. Iowa State moved to 10th but only because it owns a legitimate Division I nonconference victory against Iowa.
Oklahoma State and Kansas were a toss up. Both teams started 3-0 but have looked miserable in Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks took the last spot because any team that scores six points in eight quarters of football deserves to be last.
Disappointment abounds
Extra Points:
Pro-game festivities included fireworks during the National Anthem and a KC-135 flyover.
Cornerback Charles Gordon limped off the field as the game nearing its conclusion, however, Gordon said that it was muscle cramps.
Roid had three tackles-for-loss. Those tackles moved him into first on the all-time list 42. He passed Willie Pless' record of 41, set in 1985.
Kansas' 97-yards of total offense was the first time the Jayhawks were held under 100 yards since 2001 when they had 67-yards against Texas.
Quotes:
"It is probably the most disappointing offensive performance that I have been around in a long time in many ways," Mengino said.
"I'm ready to get in a fist fight with them but that goes back to pointing fingers and we cann't do that." Reid said about his frustrations with the offense.
"I guess they need to play with a little more heart," Reid said of the offense.

KU loses despite Gordon

KANSAN SHORTS SPORTS WRITE
Charles Gordon did all he could to try to secure a Kansas victory Saturday night against Oklahoma.
The junior started the game at wide receiver, returned punts and also played cornerback.
Gordon registered a number of big plays for the Jayhawks, including two interceptions and a long punt return, but his effort fell short and the Jayhawks lost 19-3.
Gordon entered the game without an interception on the season, after registering an NCAA-leading seven last year.
Gordon's first interception came in the third quarter on Oklahoma's third play of the half.
The Sooners were on their own 13-yard line trying to convert on a 3rd down and Gordon stepped in front of Sooner receiver Jejuan Rankins at the Oklahoma 25-yard line to pick off quarterback Rhett Borar's throw.
The cornerback/wide receiver struck again one series later, after Kansas turned the ball back over to Oklahoma.
FOOTBALL
The Sooners began to drive down the field, but after gaining 62 yards, Gordon came up with another interception, this time on Kansas' 36-yard line.
"Basically, I was just trying to read the hips of the receivers and break on the ball," Gordon said. "I felt them stopping and just located the ball."
Gordon also made his presence known on offense. He saw the most snaps he has seen all season, and ended the game leading the Jayhawks with four receptions for 18 yards.
Gordon said he knew before the game he would see more snaps on offense because the unit had been struggling coming into the game.
"We knew they were going to play a lot of man coverage and they wanted to use me in there to try to create a spark on offense and make some plays." Gordon said.
Gordon last played this much on offense during the 2003 season. Gordon caught 57 passes for 769 yards in his freshman campaign.
Gordon said there were a lot of differences between that offense and the 2005 version of the Jayhawk offense. In 2003, the Kansas offense averaged more than 420 yards per game, the best output in more than 50 years.
During the Oklahoma game, Kansas managed just 97 yards of total offense.

Senior quarterback Brian Luke looks downfield to pass during Saturday's game at Arrowhead Stadium. Luke went 11 completions for 33 attempts, threw three interceptions and was sacked three times. The Jayhawks lost to the Sooners 19-3.
"We're just not executing the way we did when I started at wide receiver," Gordon said. "We're not taking care of the ball the way we did, and that's a big difference."
Besides his two interceptions on defense and four receptions on offense, Gordon also had two punt returns with his long coming for 34 yards that set the Kansas offense up at the Sooner 31-yard line.
Kansas senior quarterback Brian Luke connected with Gordon a play later for nine yards, but Kansas would miss a field goal attempt and turn the ball back over to Oklahoma.
Gordon left the game with just more than a minute remaining because of cramps in his right leg.
He said he wasn't too exhausted, but could have hydrated himself better before the game to avoid the cramps.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was not too concerned with Gordon leaving the game early.
"I think he was real tired," Mangino said. "We were working him pretty hard. I think he just needed to catch his wind a little bit."

It didn't get any easier. Oklahoma's defense teed off on Luke, handing him a beating that would have made injury-prone former Kansas quarterback Bill Whittimore blush.
Nevertheless, the Jayhawks couldn't run the ball, which made passing too obvious.
Despite battling exhaustion, the blue collar unit of throwbacks, led by Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman — just to name a few — stuffed an Oklahoma running back yet again.
The stop gave the offense another opportunity with a little more than a minute to get something going.
Not only did that let Mangino down, but yet again it let down one of the best defenses in the country
The best moment Saturday night came late in the game, when many fans were streaming for the exits.
As the defense walked off the field, the remaining fans gave

them the standing ovation it deserved.
But other than that, fans have been quick to jump all over Mangino, blaming him for the team's offensive troubles. Funny how things change.
Remember two years ago? Back then, everybody praised Mangino for an offense that put up points at will.
The only problem was that the defense was giving up points at the same rate.
Mangino was criticized for not being able to get both sides on the same page.
This season, which had so much promise, is now at a crossroads and could go either way now, for better or worse. It's time for the offense players to earn their keep.
Now the roles have reversed,
but at some point the players
— not the coach — have to be
accountable.
They owe it to the fans, to themselves, to the defense and to Mangino.

The two teams combined for seven turnovers, but the offenses, specifically Kansas,' were not able to capitalize on the mistakes.
Luke finished 11-for-30 for 86 yards, with three interceptions and a fumble.

Kansas loses after hard game
VOLLEYBALL

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas volleyball team dropped a three-game match to No. 7 Missouri on Saturday night in Columbia, Mo., for its third consecutive loss.
The Jayhawks were plagued by errors all night. They finished the match with a lowly .085 attack percentage. The Tigers, on the other hand, efficiently ended a two-match losing streak. They hit .351 in the three games.
Kansas returns to action at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night when it takes on Iowa State at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was impressed with Missouri but thought his team hurt itself more than anything.
"We just couldn't make the adjustments we needed to make," he said. "We were inconsistent, and you can't afford to make as many mistakes as we did in this league."
With the victory, Missouri improved to 13-2 overall and 7-2 in conference play. Kansas dropped to 12-6 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference. The Tigers lead the Border Showdown 1.5-0 as well. The Tigers have held the trophy since they won the competition between the two schools last year.
halfway mark. A key 6-0 run gave momentum back to the Tigers en route to a 30-23 victory. They were aided by nine Jayhawk errors.
Game two saw improvement from the Jayhawks, but it was not enough. Kansas hit .257, but Missouri countered with 15 kills and only three errors. The Tigers scored eight of the last nine points to win the game 30-21.
The match started off poorly for the Jayhawks. They fell behind 4-1 but rallied to tie the game and keep it close until the
Trailing early in the final game, the Tigers charged back with six straight points to regain control of the match. A seven-point run later in the frame put
plenty of distance between the two teams, and Missouri easily won 30-11.
Junior middle blocker Nicole Wilson paced Missouri with 13 kills. Defensively, the Tigers were led by sophomore libero Tatum Ailes. Her 16 digs led all players.
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima goes up for a spike during a game against Nebraska Oct. 8 at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks traveled to Missouri on Saturday and lost against the seventh-ranked Tigers, dropping their record to 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas senior outside hitter Paula Caten finished the match with 14 kills and nine digs. Junior libero Jamie Mathewson added 12 digs for the lawhaws.
Nearly at the halfway point in the conference schedule, the Jayhawks are struggling to find a
Kaiden me ponds solution to their recent woes. They have not won since junior outside hitter Jana Correa went down with a knee injury at the Kansas State game, but the three losses have all been against top 25 opponents. Bechard said fixing their problems was a matter of time.
"We just need to find a good balance on offense and defense," he said. "It's a challenge with every team to find a good, consistent level of play throughout matches."

▼ CROSS COUNTRY
Jayhawks fly past competition at meet
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
amendoza@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
A trip to Terre Haute, Ind., proved to be worth the time for the Kansas cross country teams.
The Jayhawks took part in the NCAA Pre-Nationals hosted by Indiana State University.
The men finished before six other top 25 ranked schools. They were ranked 28th going into the meet and defeated No. 11 Cal Poly, No. 17 Florida State, No. 18 Ohio State, No. 21 Indiana, No. 22 Dartmouth and No. 23 North Carolina State.
"I thought it was a good performance," coach Stanley Redwine said. "It was definitely a total team effort, and we're pretty excited. Even though the race was deeper this year, we still finished fourth which was an improvement on our 22nd-place finish last year."
The Jayhawks were led by junior Benson Chesang. He finished the race fourth overall with a time of 24:05 in the 8K race.
Sophomore Paul Hefferon was second for the Jayhawks, followed by sophomore Colby Wissel.
There were a total of 53 teams in the men's race.
The only three teams to finish ahead of Kansas were Stanford, Brigham Young and Georgetown.
The women's team also finished fourth in its 6K race.
Its field consisted of 13 teams. Michigan, Southern Illinois, and Minnesota were the three teams to finish ahead of Kansas.
"I thought the women's team
had a great showing today as well," Redwine said. "It's hard to compare times to courses, but in this case I think it's applicable because we ran much better here today than we did last year. I thought it was a really good effort."
Sophomore Lisa Morrisey, finishing 11th overall, led the Jayhawks to a fourth place finish with a time of 22:26.
"I think that we definitely had a better day this year than we did last year," Morrisie said. "We worked so hard and it just kind of showed that we are at the level we are working at, now we just need to get it together for conference."
This was the last race before the Big 12 Championship in Waco, Texas, on Oct. 28.

Holmes plays 'keep away with visiting Redskins
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Maybe age isn't catching up with Priest Holmes as quickly as everyone thought. When it mattered most, the Washington Redskins couldn't catch him at all.
Nine days after his 32nd birthday, Holmes ran for a touchdown and caught five passes for 100 yards, including a winding, waving 60-yard catch-and-run as Kansas City beat the Redskins 28-21 Sunday.
Santana Moss caught 10 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns for the Redskins (3-2), who lost their second in a row after a 3-0 start.
The Chiefs (3-2) had a career-game from defensive end Jared Allen, who sacked Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell three times and recovered both fumbles he forced.
with the Redskins holding a 7-6 lead, the game exploded into a parade of long scoring plays.
Moss had a 78-yard catch-and-run for Washington, Knight responded with an 80-yard fumble return and Holmes turned a short pass into a touchdown play for a 28-21 Chiefs lead early in the fourth quarter.
After a dull first half ended
The Chiefs took a 14-7 lead on their first possession of the second half on Holmes' 6-yard touchdown run after he'd gone 21 yards on a short pass and officials tacked on another 14 yards for roughing the passer.
The score tied at 21-21, the Chiefs had a first down on their own 40 when Green tossed the ball back to Holmes in the flat. He started left and then cut back against the grain.
tony Gonzalez threw the last block to spring him and he tiptoed into the corner of the end zone.

"I wanted to see what Stephen Vinson and Christian Moody were going to do because they're goofy guys," Mathews said.
Vinson, in his fourth Late Night, said he thought the changes came because "there were some disappointing performances in the past, and we wanted to weed out the bad." Though even he admitted the new format was left a different feel.
And it wasn't just strange for the players. It was strange for the fans as well. No longer can fans sit in expectation of the digital clock on the north wall of the fieldhouse rolling to "12:00". Instead, fans wait for television to cut out. Or for the Marching Cobras to finish.
Late Night started 21 years ago as a way for fans to build excitement for the season. While the practice continues and the players are showcased, some of the build up and history associated with the night has been lost.

Wie disqualified after rules dispute
She wound up in a rules dispute that got her disqualified Sunday from the Samsung World Championship for taking a bad drop.
Because she dropped the ball closer to the hole — by 3 inches according to her, by about a foot according to the rules officials — she should have added two strokes to her third-round 71.
Wie finished her round at 74 — she would have earned $53,126 — she was escorted by two rules officials to the par-5 seventh hole at Bighorn Golf Club to show them her drop from a desert bush the day before.
Nearly two hours later, she was disqualified for signing an incorrect scorecard.

The Kansas soccer team ran out of steam after its first game this weekend.
After shutting out Texas Tech 4-0 on Friday in Lubbock, Boulder lost to Colorado on Sunday in Boulder. Kansas lost the game 1-0 and moved to 8-6-2 on the season and 4-3-1 in play.
"The latter part of the second half we ran out of gas a little bit in the altitude," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said.
Senior forward Caroline Smith goes for a loose ball against Oklahoma State junior goalkeeper Jeanne Rankin at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Oct. 7. The Kansas soccer team lost 1-0 against Colorado on Sunday in Boulder, Colo. The loss drops the Jayhawks to 8-6-2 overall and 4-3-1 in the Big 12.
Francis said the team had some good opportunities early in the game but was unable to finish off. Caroline Smith, senior forward, led the team with five shots on goal. Julie Hanley, freshman goalkeeper, made a career-high eight saves during the contest but lost her first game of the season as the starting goalkeeper.

Colorado's Lindsey Ralph scored the lone goal of the match off a rebound with 39 minutes remaining. Hanley made the initial save on Fran Munnelly's shot but Ralph was able to punch it back in.

four goals, had a career-best 12 saves.
Senior forward Caroline Smith tagged her seventh goal of the season to be the first to put Kansas on the board. Senior forward Nicole Braman touched it to Smith after a long pass from sophomore defender Afton Sauer. Both were awarded assists, the first of Sauer's career.
"We scored four very good goals," Francis said. "And we finished our chances extremely well."
Sauer was handed her second career assist not much more than 20 minutes after her first.
Junior defender Holly Gault took her turn in the 34th minute. Gault put the evening's second goal in from 20 yards out for her third of the season. Junior Lacey Novak and sophomore Emily Strinden, a pair of midfielders/forwards, each took an assist.
With just over five minutes left in the first half, senior forward Kimberly Karfonta chipped in her first of the season, complete with a celebratory back-flip.
Roundout out the scoring onslaught was midfielder Miss Geha. Goal number four on the evening was goal number three in the freshman's career.
Fellow freshman midfielder/forward Sara Rogers brought in her first career point with the assist.
Kansas returns home for its next non-conference game against Colorado College on Friday at 3 p.m.
"We've got to regroup and the last three games are at home," Francis said. "The way the conference is looking we've still got a shot to finish very strong."

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An other week, another field goal
Kansas' offense again negated a strong defensive performance, in a 19-3 loss to Oklahoma Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Kansas offense managed just 97 yards of total offense and made costly turnovers leading to Oklahoma points.
"We didn't do anything on offense," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "It is probably the most disappointing offensive performance that I have been around in a long, long time."
Mangino said that blame for the offense's struggles rested on his shoulders.
"I have to get this offense going and I will find a way to do it," Mangino said. "Call me an optimist or call me a fool, I still think we have capable kids on offense and we can get this together."
Members of the Kansas defense, who once again played well, appear to be growing frustrated with the lack of offensive production. Senior linebacker Nick Reid, who led the team with 15 tackles, was particularly upset after the game.
"I'm ready to get in a fist fight with them, but that goes back to pointing fingers and we can't do that." Reid said of the offense. "I have nothing to say to them, they have got to figure it out for themselves, we are out there busting our butts, I guess they need to play with a little more heart."
The Kansas defense was outstanding against the run, holding Oklahoma to 96 yards on 49 carries and recovering an Adrian Peterson fumble.
Oklahoma accumulated all the points it needed before its offense even snapped the football. On
the third play of the game, KU senior quarterback Brian Luke was grabbed by the ankles and nearly sacked, but managed to get a pass off. D.J. Wolfe intercepted the pass and returned the interception 65 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 Oklahoma lead.
After playing three quarterbacks in the previous three games, Mangino stuck with Luke for the entire game. The new approach to quarterbacks did not improve the offense's performance.
Luke threw another interception on Kansas' next offensive play. That pick led to a 40-yard field goal and a 10-0 Oklahoma advantage.
The offense gained 99 yards of total offense in the first quarter and lost two yards the remainder of the game and finished with 97 total vards.
The offense looked worse than it did during its performance a week ago against Kansas State.
For the game the Jayhawks were 1-for-12 on third downs and accumulated six first downs, total. That kept the Kansas defense on the field for nearly 38 minutes.
"To play a game that you think you should have won, it is just ripped out of you. There is definitely frustration there," senior linebacker Kevin Kane said. Kane had 13 tackles including a sack.
The fumble, as well as junior cornerback Charles Gordon's two interceptions, did nothing to help the Jayhawk offense get moving. Despite the offense's struggles, one play almost changed the course of the game.
Sophomore tight end Derek Fine appeared to catch the ball at the Oklahoma two-yard line and put Kansas in a position to tie the score. The play, however, was reviewed and the initial call was overturned. The referees ruled that OU junior linebacker Rufus Alexander intercepted the

Mangino should not be blamed
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — "Call me an optimist or call me a fool. But I still think we have capable players on offense." — Mark Mangino
It would be easy to blame Kansas football coach Mark Mangino for his offense's inepititude this season, which has now reached its crossroads. But it wouldn't be fair.
Too often we want to blame the head coach, but it's time that the blame be taken off Mangiino's back. Instead, maybe fans should place the blame for Kansas' offensive woes on the players — a novel concept when you think about it.
The numbers speak louder than any words that could be said or written.
97 yards of total offense. 11 yards in the second half. Six points in eight quarters.
Those kinds of numbers blare louder and more alarming than the Oklahoma band's 128 renditions of "Boomer Sooner."
Funny how Mangino can't seem to win. Granted, going through quarterbacks like a pitching rotation in baseball's postseason doesn't work — ever. That's on him.
Fans have clamored for him to settle on one quarterback, and this weekend he did. He finally chose senior Brian Luke and stuck with him throughout Saturday's 19-3 disheartening loss to Oklahoma at Arrowhead Stadium.
Mangino said Luke was the horse he was going to ride and he held true to his words.

Late Night new but not exactly improved

JONATHAN KEALING
JKEALING@KANSAN.COM
Along with the new scoreboard, new floor, repainted seats and repaired windows, the Kansas Athletics Department unveiled an entirely new format for Late Night in the PhoG.
And though it's hard to deny the structural improvements to Allen Fieldhouse are great, the changes in Late Night format are anything but great.
The thrill of Late Night has always been the expectation of the midnight scrimmage. Larry Brown created Late Night to provide fans and players an opportunity to start the season with excitement. In that first season, the fieldhouse was less than half full.
Now, 21 years later, Late Night has become one of the highly anticipated events of the basketball season. Not only is it the first opportunity for many fans to see new recruits and new starters, it's also a respite from what is often a grueling football season. And it's free.
This year, the NCAA changed its rules to allow practices to take place at any point during the day and the University adjusted its format accordingly. In addition to starting at 6:30 in the evening, the University took an opportunity to change the format it follows.
When Athletics Department officials announced the earlier time, they said they wanted more fans to have an opportunity to attend. It doesn't seem like they were successful.
Wednesday's crowd of about 15,500 was the same as the year before. Sure, it seemed like there were more children and youngsters, but the place still didn't fill up.
Karen Carpenter, of Norton,
made the five-hour trip to Late
Night this year; however, she's
been doing it for years. She did
bring her 86-year-old mother
this year, but she wasn't completely sold on the new time.
The women's team had a series of dances and the men's team had two group skits, one of which featured the team "jumping in" with the freshmen, using a jump rope.
"It was fun being here late at night, last year," Carpenter said.
Also changed this year were the skits. Instead of having skits from each class of players, the basketball teams performed skits as teams.
O
It just wasn't the same as skis have been in the past. Last year's Late Night wouldn't have been the same without the four seniors taking metaphronal control of the 1988 championship trophy. Sure, last season ended on a sour note, but Late Night certainly start it with a positive vibe.
Brett Mathews, Olathe junior, was disappointed the individual class skits were cut.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
There were no jaw-dropping dunks from the Kansas women's basketball team Friday night.
Instead it showed off the high-intensity play that coach Bonnie Henrickson hopes will characterize this year's squad.
The team will be relying on two newcomers at the point guard position. Junior Shaquina Mosley was on the Blue team, while freshman Ivana Catic led the Red team to a 17-8 victory.
Catic found a hot hand early in senior guard Kaylee Brown, who scored seven points in the 10-minute scrimmage.
Catic has already assumed the leadership duties that come with being point guard, barking out plays and directing traffic from the top of the arc.
"She played really well the first half of last year and hit some big shots," Henrickson said of Brown. "We'll need that from her in her senior year."
Henrickson said her leadership style was vocal but also respectful, a quality that is important for somebody playing the position.
On the other side of the ball, Mosley showed the versatility that made her the national junior college player of the year last year.
"Shaq doesn't have to be at the point," Henrickson said. "You can put her on the wing because she can penetrate and
Noticeable on both ends of the court was the tight defense and hustle that characterized the team at the end of last year. The addition of six new players will give the Jayhawks more depth and allow them to play faster-paced games.
make a play."
Potential Recruits
This year's team had six newcomers who participated in Late Night for the first time.
Five potential players attended Late Night on official recruiting visits. Henrickson has seven scholarships available next year, and has received three commitments thus far.
"A lot of them made their official visit or came unofficial last year to Late Night," Henrickson said. "Ivana Catic was so excited she could hardly breathe by the time the whole thing was done."
Song and Dance
Half an hour before the scrimmage, the team made its entrance with a choir in the background singing "Ain't no mountain high enough."
The team then performed a dance number to Earth, Wind and Fire's "Let's groove tonight."
Henrickson was introduced shortly afterward, and told the crowd her goal for the program.
"We want a men's and women's basketball championship in the same year," she said.

Food tops Brazil week
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18.2005
Pedro De Abreu Gomes Dos Santos may live in Kansas, an area famed for its barbecue, but he can think only about the taste of his native Brazilian-style barbecue.
"It's meat that is fine-cut and then cooked with sea salt," the Rio de Janeiro graduate student said. "It has a completely different taste, and I miss it a lot."
Dos Santos' feelings of longing for the comforts of home are not uncommon for students living abroad, especially when only a few people from the same homeland are nearby. As of Fall 2004, only 32 Brazilians were enrolled at the University of Kansas' Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
Fortunately for Dos Santos, this week the KU Brazilian Student Association will hold its Brazilian Cultural Week. Cultural events throughout the week will not only raise awareness of Brazilian culture among KU students but also provide some camaraderie among fellow Brazilians.
Rafael Demarco, Rio de Janeiro senior and president of KU BRASA, said despite the low student population from Brazil, it was still important for Brazilian students to know their culture was being represented.
"It's such a relief just to speak Portuguese and eat food we can normally only get from home," Demarco said.
Brazilian Cultural Week's theme this year is "Aquecendo pro Arraia," which means "a
party for all." Demarco said the phrase originated from the American-Brazilian integration that happened in the Northeast region of Brazil when American soldiers were stationed there during World War II.
KU BRASA will have a "O Mesão Brasileiro," or the Big Brazilian Table, at 6:30 tonight at the Hawk's Nest in the Kansas Union. Traditional Brazilian food will be served, including Pade-Queijo, or cheese rolls, and Guaraná, a popular soft drink in Brazil made from a tropical, red fruit with a high caffeine content. Dos Santos said events like these allowed Brazilians like himself to get a little taste of home.
"Food is a big thing that I miss, especially home-cooked stuff from my mom," Dos Santos said. "Even just having to common food items in Brazil is really hard here."
Brazilian instructors will teach how to dance the Forró, a Brazilian version of Salsa, on Thursday for free. The event will take place at 7:15 p.m. in the ballroom on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union.
The week's festivities will culminate with KU BRASA's Fall Party at 9:30 p.m. on Friday at Liquid Bar & Night Club, 806 W. 24th St. Tickets are available at the Student Union Activities Office for $6.
Demarco said the party on Friday was unlike a regular Brazilian party in that it was being held at a club as opposed to an open area. Nonetheless, he expects nearly 400 people to attend.

The trains that run on the tracks in North Lawrence rattle the area with their horns throughout the day and night, and they have shortened the patience of some residents in the area.
The North Lawrence Improvement Association wants to eliminate train horn noise with an ordinance enforcing a quiet zone in the North Lawrence area.
Association President Ted Boyle presented their case to the Lawrence City Commission last Tuesday.
Boyle said he had frequently seen sale signs in front of houses near the train tracks, and that he thought potential buyers were concerned about the noise.

He said after living in the area for 45 years, he didn't even notice the noise anymore.
He said newer residents were the ones with complaints.
"Sometimes that train horn gets nerve-wracking for the
new people in the neighborhood, at night especially," Boyle said. "If it's eliminated, even partially, it would be a tremendous help for neighborhood development."

my friends came over, they noticed."
Nelson said the noisiest times of day were hard to predict.
He said on some days he wouldn't notice any noise, but other days the horn sounded about every 15 minutes.
At the commission meeting, Wayne Zachary, driver development and safety manager at Laidlaw Transit, said an all-day quiet zone could cause safety concerns for school buses.
Laidlaw Transit's buses have to stop in front of the train tracks to look and listen for trains. Zachary said.
He said the horns gave bus drivers a better awareness of trains in the area, and the drivers need the benefit of all awareness.
"These are not mild crossings," Zachary said. "They are extremely busy."
He said six regular school buses have daily routes that cross the tracks, along with several special-needs bus routes. He said buses cross the tracks up to 36 times a day.

The current grant covered the program for four years, beginning in 2002 and ending with the trip this upcoming summer.
Hope said the center was looking for other options to pick up the tab for the program.
One option is the Fulbright-Hays Act, which sends teachers on international study trips. The U.S. government is considering

Author writes book about mourning covers
Jes Cook, Topeka senior, volunteers for a number of organizations in the Lawrence community including the Women Transitional Care Services, an organization that strives toward peace in the world by eliminating violence in communities. Cook will present a documentary film, "System Failure" exposing problems with the juvenile justice system to be followed by a public discussion at 7 p.m. on Monday at the Lawrence Public Library Gallery.
TOPEKA — Ernest Mosher wanted to do something in which he was an indisputable expert, no matter how narrow it was. This, coupled with his penchant for analyzing postal history, steered him into writing a rare book that has won him laurels.
Mosher, of Topeka, is the author of "Mourning Covers: The Cultural and Postal History of Letters Edged in Black."
The 353-page book is an illustrated story about the history and use of mourning covers as a cultural practice or custom in the United States and in many other countries. It is about postal history illustrated by the use of mourning covers.
"Mourning covers can be briefly defined as black-edged posted letters used in many countries, especially during the 19th and early 20th centuries, as harbingers of death and messengers of grief." Mosher said. "Mourning covers were as common in the past as wedding and birth announcements are today."
He said people in the 20th and 21st centuries would find the use of death-related blackedged letters a strange and bizarre cultural practice. But in the context of social customs or ethos of the time, they were rational social phenomenon and are still considered to be so in a few countries.
At one point, Mosher had the largest collection of U.S. and foreign mourning covers in the world — 5,000 covers from more than 180 countries. The Associated Press

Students come to college for all sorts of reasons: to gain job skills, to grow up, to drink. For Jes Cook, Topeka senior, college is a place to get involved in the community, a place to get informed on social issues and fight for them.
"Once your eyes are open, it's hard to pretend bad things don't happen." Cook said.
It was a small gesture, but one not everyone would've made.
Growing up as the oldest of three sisters, Cook was always the strong, independent one, said her father, Joe Cook.
"I've said many times that she was somehow teleported from the '60s era," he said.
Her involvement at the University of Kansas started the week she arrived four years ago when she signed up for KU Greens and Women's Empowerment Action Coalition, two groups no longer in existence.
The Associated Press
As freshmen, she and Laura Adams, Overbrook senior, started a group called the Lawrence Fair Trade Coffee Commission.
By talking to KU officials, they convinced the Kansas Union and KU Dining Services
to offer a domestic coffee brew. Cook and Adams were amazed to learn how easy it could be to bring change to campus, even if it was something small.
"It was an awesome freshman-year campaign to make us aware of how all the infrastructure in the University works and how to make actual change on campus." Adams said.
Since then, she's done just
about everything she could think of to bring change to the community. Cook branched into the Lawrence community. She organized a five-week lecture series at Lawrence Memorial Hospital about poverty that featured speakers from different backgrounds.

maybe having a rough time. I think they have to go hand-inhand."
Cook serves on the board of directors of Women's Transitional Care Services, where she started as an advocate volunteer as an underclassman. The organization offers an array of services from answering calls from battered women to providing shelter to going to court with them. She also helps organize Women Take Back the Night, a yearly march and vigil for women's safety, and works at the Multicultural Resource Center.
Cook will co-host "Our Kids and the Juvenile Justice System: A Public Dialogue" at 7 p.m. Monday at the Lawrence Public Library, 70 Vermont St.
Cook spent this summer looking at ways to improve the juvenile justice system as a Public Policy and International Affairs Fellow at the 2005 Junior Summer Institute at Princeton University.
Cook will graduate in May with bachelor's degrees in African Studies and Sociology. She hopes to get a job that affects public policy in some way, whether it's women's issues, migrant issues or something else, in the United States or abroad.
Wherever she goes next, she's made an impact while she's been here, said her friend Ranij Tapit, a Lawrence graduate student.
"We always hear that students these days don't care, that they're apathetic," he said. "She's living proof that that's obviously not the case."

Court allows inmate an abortion
BY GINA HOLLAND
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Missouri officials must let a pregnant inmate have an abortion, the Supreme Court said Monday, rejecting an appeal by anti-abortion Gov. Matt Blunt.
Missouri, which has some of the strictest abortion laws in the country, argued taxpayers should not have to pick up the tab for transporting the woman to an abortion clinic. The unanimous order declining to intervene comes as the Senate prepares for the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, during which lawmakers are sure to press her on abortion. She was picked to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor,
a key swing voter in abortion cases who is retiring.
"I don't think the justices have ever wanted to have this fight under the bright glare of a political spotlight," said Stephen Wermiel, an American University law professor.
Blunt criticized the court, saying its decision "is highly offensive to traditional Missouri values and is contrary to state law, which prohibits taxpayer dollars from being spent to facilitate abortions."
He called a special session this fall to pass new restrictions on abortion and has promised to work
The Republican governor earlier had denounced what he called "an outrageous order from an activist federal judge" who sided with the inmate.
with abortion foes on more laws.
The inmate, known only as Jane Roe, is at least four months pregnant and her lawyers told justices that she is anxious and depressed.
She found out she was pregnant after being arrested on a parole violation and sued the state after her attempts to get an abortion were rebuffed.
The Supreme Court has never addressed the rights of pregnant inmates to get abortions, but U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple in Missouri said that the high court has made clear that women have a constitutional right to abortion.
Whipple ordered the state to transport the woman on the 80-mile trip from her cell in Vandalia to a St. Louis clinic.

Hope said that the University had added two sections of beginning Chinese classes because of student demand.
The Freeman Foundation grant was a package grant, encompassing more than just the Kansas Asia Scholars. The purpose of the grant was to educate
Kansans about East Asia.
The funding also provided salaries to four new faculty members that the University will pick up once the funding runs out.
With the Kansas/Asia Community Connection, the Center for East Asian Studies ran informative radio spots on KJHK and High Plains public radio in Southwestern Kansas.
There is no expected deadline for when the center planned to find funding because it is constantly searching for grants, Hope said.
Package grants are preferred to isolated ones, she said.
"Having the chance to talk and interact with people of other cultures is going to make it easier to understand them." Ladd said.
"The KAS was not written in isolation to begin with, and it would not be written in isolation for re-funding purposes," Hope said.
Nathan Ladd, Effingham junior, attended the Kansas Asia Scholar trip in the summer of 2005. Ladd said the program was key in broadening the horizons of students.

we have had to delay the opening of Corbin Hall's site, and implement a temporary phone number. While utilization is up, we apologize to those who have had difficulties with trying to reach the service. If the regular Jaywalk number (864-3222) is not working, feel free to dial the circulation desk at Anschutz, 864-4928 during our hours Sunday- Thursday 9PM-1AM. We are working to remedy the issues we have had thus far.

Powerball hits record high
Bonus to draw bigger checks
CHARLESTON, WVA. — if someone wins the estimated $340 million Powerball jackpot on Wednesday, he or she won't be the only one who will benefit from the record prize.
Players matching all but the Powerball number in the same drawing that the jackpot is won in will get a larger-than-normal prize, thanks to a bonus that kicks in when the jackpot reaches a record level. Those players could also become millionaires if the jackpot continues to grow, West Virginia Lottery Commission spokeswoman Nancy Bulla said Monday.
BY PAM RAMSEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Normally, a player matching five numbers but not the Powerball wins $200,000. But if there is a record jackpot, Powerball officials cap the next drawing's contribution from ticket sales at $25 million. Any additional money goes into a bonus prize pool for the Match 5 winners.
The Match 5 bonus pool will have an estimated $13 million for Wednesday's drawing, according to the Powerball Web site.
Bulla said about 30 Match 5 winners were anticipated in Wednesday's drawing, based on previous drawings with large jackpots. If someone wins the jackpot, the Match 5 winners would get an extra $450,000 each, she said.
"The fewer winners, the more money they'll get." she said.
If the jackpot is not won Wednesday and continues to grow, the Match 5 winners "could win millions, depending on how long we go," Bulla said.
Should there be no Match 5 winners when the jackpot is hit, the bonus pool would go to players who match four numbers and the Powerball. That prize normally is $10,000.
"A lot of people come back and buy (tickets) here because Jack bought his here. ... We have tourists come through from different states who say, 'We just wanted to stop here and buy because he won here."
Powerball is played in 27 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Andi Perrine
Convenience store manager
The jackpot has been growing since mid August, and 20 drawings have passed without a jackpot being won. It is the biggest jackpot in the game's history and eclipses the previous record of $314.9 million won on Christmas Day 2002 by Jack Whittaker of Scott Depot, W.Va.
When the jackpot is won, it will mark the first time that the Match 5 bonus is awarded. The bonus was created after Whitaker's record win, Bulla said.
Whittaker purchased his winning ticket at C & L Super Serve, a convenience store in Hurricane. Since then, the store has become a magnet for Powerball players hoping that lightning will strike twice.
Powerball sales were at least four times higher than normal for Saturday's drawing, when the current jackpot was an estimated $305 million, manager Andi Perrine said.
"A lot of people come back and buy (tickets) here because jack bought his here. ... We have tourists come through from different states who say, 'We just wanted to stop here and buy because he won here,'" she said.

China completes second space mission
BY JOE McDONALD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — An elated public celebrated the successful landing Monday of China's second manned space flight, a feat that a senior Chinese leader declared a victory for the Communist Party and a boost to the country's status as a space power.
The pre-dawn landing of the Shenzhou 6 capsule on the country's northern grasslands was shown live on television as part of a propaganda effort meant to rouse support for the ruling party.
"It's really incredible, and we're all filled with pride," said Li Guoqiang, a Shanghai electrician. "It's about developing and expressing our national strength."
Fei and Nie were flown to Beijing, where they received a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a parade past thousands of cheering soldiers at a military base.
Scenes of astronauts Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng emerging smiling and waving were shown throughout the day on television, sparking an outpouring of patriotic excitement about China's growing technological might.
State television showed residents of Fei's hometown of Kunshan, west of Shanghai, setting off firecrackers and weeping with joy.
"This will further improve the country's international status and national strength, and will help to mobilize its people to rally around the Communist Party and work harder for the future of the country," said Wu Bangguo, the party's No. 2 leader, who watched the landing at a Beijing control center.
The capsule touched down by parachute at 4:32 a.m. local time (4:32 p.m. EDT), just a half-mile from its target in the Inner Mongolia region, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Television showed the astronauts — known in Chinese as yuanhyuan, or "travelers of the universe" — climbing out of the kettle-shaped capsule with the help of two technicians in red jumpsuits and clambering down a ladder in darkness.
They accepted bouquets of flowers and sat in metal chairs beside the spacecraft.
"I want to thank the people for their love and care. Thank you very much." Fei said.
Hours later, an official announced China's next ambition: a possible spacewalk in 2007.
"Our estimate is that around 2007 we will be able to achieve extravehicular activity by our astronauts and they will walk in space," Tang Xiangming, director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said at a news conference.
Tang said the program also might recruit women in its next group of astronaut candidates.
Shenzhou 6 flew 2 million miles in 115 hours, 32 minutes in space. Xinhua said. The mission was far longer and more complex than the 2003 flight, when astronaut Yang Liwei orbited for 21 1/2 hours.
The flight cost some $110 million, Tang said.
The government says the manned space program has cost a total of $2.3 billion — a fraction of the budget of its American counterpart.

PAGE 5A
It's about time to adopt a new stance
Lisa Johnston, a graduate with a degree in Human Development and Family Life with a special emphasis on child development and currently working for Head Start, was denied the right to adopt any of the 1,900+ children needing a parent in Missouri.
Was she unqualified?
No, the judge found her exceptionally qualified before he denied her.
Was she in a bad relationship? No, her partner holds a master's degree in counseling from St. Mary's University and a master's degree in divinity from Luther Seminary and is currently a chaplain at a psychiatric treatment center for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders.
What could have possibly led the state of Missouri to bar her from adopting a child?
It was solely because she is a lesbian. The decision was based in part on Missouri law that banned sexual intimacy between same-sex couples that was rendered unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas.
Yet the Missouri government still turned her away as
-
JUSTIN LA MORT opinion@kansan.com
"Decades of research show that gays and lesbians are as good as parents as their heterosexual counterparts... The truth may be out there, but not everyone seems to be listening."
hundreds of children are in need of a good parent.
Lisa Johnston is just one example of how law based on ignorance hurts us all.
She will be trying to change that by challenging the case in court but it leads us to wonder why that law ever would be created.
Decades of research show that gays and lesbians are as
good as parents as their heterosexual counterparts.
The American Psychiatric Association states that, "Not a single study has found children of gay or lesbian parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents."
The truth may be out there but not everyone seems to be listening.
During the summer, several Kansas legislators started a movement to follow Missouri's pitiful example and stop gays from adopting.
Sen. Kay O'Connor of Olathe said that people who were openly having a homosexual lifestyle were probably not good candidates for adoptive parents.
This senseless and harmful institutional intolerance needs to end today.
I urge you to join with KU ACLU and Queers & Allies in fighting ignorance by writing a letter to your state representatives telling them that this injustice and ignorance must stop now.
*La Mort is Cherryvale senior in psychology and president of KU ACLU.
Well gentlemen, everything seems to be in order, very impressive backgrounds, little Jimmy would be very fortunate to have fine fit parents such as yourselves.
But unfortunally the court rules, that in the best interest of little Jimmy, that he not learn to throw like a girl. Adoption denied. Next case?
Oh that's great!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Place blame where blame is due
Ms. Pflaum,
Shifting spending is irrelevant because it will still be taxpayer money spent. After the disastrous failure of the federal government to maintain the canals, why would you seek to further depend on them?
The aging canals were common knowledge to the city, but not the nation.
How could you expect someone from Kansas to elect their federal representative based upon their support for SELA? The people of New Orleans had the knowledge of the problem and the benefit of living there, but you would hold others financially responsible who had neither of these.
rebuilding my house when it burns down, or should I bear the responsibility for fire-proofing my house and purchasing insurance?
Finally, you shouldn't comment on my refusal to help when you know nothing of my charitable contributions.
If I choose to live in an area prone to forest fires, should you bear the responsibility of
John Stowell Kansas City, Kan.

We must know when to draw the line between taxes and charity
Because Ms. Robson asked to an explanation as to why it is OK for students to rely on government handouts, here it is. I have two main objections to the relief situation as it played out, one governmental and the other social.
To compare the hurricane relief situation to my education is utterly asinine and altogether arbitrary. First, to suggest that I receive hand-outs for matriculating at the university is a bit of an overstatement.
Ms. Robson is probably not aware that, so far this year, I have paid approximately $88 out of my own pocket (not including the $400 I spent on books or what I will spend next semester), that I will end up borrowing $3,500 this year or that I am a recipient of the Summerfield Scholarship (which is privately funded) and actually receive no direct need-based financial aid.
PFLAUM'S ARTICLE
These two pieces are responses to a letter to the editor by Laurie Plaum entitled "Easy to criticize, hard to understand" that was published in the Oct. 7 edition of The University Daily Kansan. It can be found online at http://www.kansan.com/stories/2005/oct07/easy_criticize_hard_understand/
As for Ms. Pflaum, she is right to
Finally, she clearly does not know that, as productive citizens of Kansas, my parents pay their fair share in taxes. A charity that charges one in the range of $9,000 to $12,000 per year must be the kind that only a politician could dream up.
If that were so, I would really be a horrible person. The point is that if the money is being pulled out of my pockets, it really is not the same as if I pull it out of my own pocket.
I am fine with the thought of the government rebuilding the levees, fixing the bridges and repairing the roads, because that is what govern-
say that I cannot understand what that experience must have been like. Truthfully, I am not altogether certain I want to understand it. But, that being said, my position was not born out of an unwillingness to help.
I am not fine with the federal government telling people that it can provide for their every need during a disaster, because it cannot. If the government was not there to botch the job, charities and churches and other organizations that could actually do it right would be there to help.
ments do. I am not fine, however, with the federal government stepping in to say that it is fine if you build your house 10 feet below sea level because FEMA's flood insurance will pay for your risk.
Ms. Pfluaim supports my point.
She says she is lucky to have her friends, her family and her city. She does not say that she is lucky to have her federal government.
In the end, we need to recognize that some things are societal matters and others are governmental.
Unfortunately too many people do not understand this distinction between society and government because they have come to worship and rely upon their government instead of their God.

YIPE!
Hilton said she and Richie would continue working on "The Simple Life" because other networks wanted it.
Last week, 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the show, said it hoped "The Simple Life" will move to another network - with Hilton and Richie.

"We're shooting Nov. 1," said the 24-year-old hotel heiress, who had a front-row seat at the Louis Verdad fashion show Sunday. "All the networks are fighting over it."
Andrew Hadle/KANSAN
Fox said last week it had canceled the reality show starring Hilton and Nicole Richie. The network said its midseason schedule didn't have a time slot for a fourth season, prompting speculation the feuding ex-friends no longer proved compatible.
News show host not favored by neighbors
The Associated Press
NEWYORK — City officials have ordered Ann Curry to shorten the penthouse she had built atop her Upper West Side home or face a public hearing.
The "Today" show news anchor and "Dateline NBC" co-host has been clashing with neighbors over the structure and other renovations since she bought the four-story brownstone in November 2003, neighbor Lynne Lummel told the New York Post for Monday's editions.

▼ HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2005:
Do not take unusual risks, no matter how appealing they might be this year.
You have a great imagination, but when it comes to financial matters, you could be easily deceived. Walk the straight and narrow, if possible.
Others mean well with their advice, but often you will not like the results.
If you are single, you are definitely wearing rose-colored glasses concerning love. The same would apply to anyone you relate to. Give yourself a year to get to know someone. If you are attached, it seems that the two of you are speaking different languages. Work on communicating. The caring is there. Refuse to argue. Figure out how to work out misinformation and misunderstandings together. TAURUS is stubborn.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Stay in control of your temper, though certainly this is a frustrating moment for you. What you feel is clear becomes foggy. Clarify, verify and double-check all communications and meetings. Tonight: Do what you need to do for yourself.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Your powerful personality helps you ease through the
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
many ups and downs that today provides. By now you know that a boss or parent might be quite nebulous or into his or her imagination. Today you get one more reminder. Tonight: If making plans, make sure you are on the same page as someone else.
★★★ You might want to let your imagination run loose, but don't share your many wild and creative thoughts with others right now; your message won't get through. Keep to yourself right now, and don't get into anyone else's issues. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.
★★★ You aim high for what you want; expect others to help you achieve your goals. A key associate or partner might be more of a hindrance at this point than he or she must be. Relax and focus. You need to support yourself. Tonight: Where your friends are.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★ Confusion could be your middle name, but many other people feel confused too. Part of the issue, as you will see, is that someone or several people with a positive perspective might not
understand your expectations Tonight: A must appearance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ It might be important to
verify what you think you heard,
be it a conversation or instructions.
Take nothing for granted,
and you will be a lot happier. Your
creativity and imagination could
go wild. Don't follow these flights
of fancy. Tonight: Take a long-term
look at what you have been thinking
about.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ What a partner or associate says or does is in direct conflict with what you feel needs to happen. Sometimes you need to let others see the end results of your actions rather than put in your two cents. Everyone learns best from experience. Tonight: Say little.
SCROLL (Uc. 23-11-Nov. 27)
★★★ Confusion can mark the next few days if you aren't careful. Someone -- probably not you -- has his or her facts mixed up. All you can do is confirm and verify conversations and meetings. Also, maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Go along with others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
ATTARIS (NO. 22-12-06)
★★★ Keep to your daily tasks,
and try to stay away from confusion.
Use care when driving,
because others, as well as you,
might be disoriented. In fact, if you can,
walk instead. Put on music wherever you are. Tonight: Slow down. Stay out of trouble.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★ Sometimes you might not know which way to turn. Right now, be a cynic, especially concerning a money matter. You might not be wrong, but today carries a high element of risk. Tonight: Fun can be a game of Scrabble.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★ You are in another world right now, and getting you to land might be difficult, if not impossible. You might want to cocoon, but your best bet is to stay present and don't plunge into a new project. Tonight: Now, homeward bound.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★ Take your time, even if you feel you have much to do and so little time.
You might be more in your head than you realize. Confirm meetings and what others say. The clearer you are the better. Tonight: Swap the day's war stories.

New formula equals smiles for USC, Texas
BY RALPH D. RUSSO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Southern California and Texas were No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the first Bowl Championship Series standings of the season Monday, just as they have been in the polls since the preseason.
The first-place Trojans are No. 1 in both the USA Today coaches' poll and the Harris Interactive poll, and they graded out best in the six computer rankings. USC has a BCS grade of .9923, giving the Trojans a solid cushion over the second-place Longhorns (.9591).
The top two teams in the final BCS standings will play in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 for a national title.
Virginia Tech (.9067), Georgia .(8933) and Alabama .(8220) followed USC and Texas in the standings released Monday.
Notre Dame (.3985) is 16th — the computer rankings were not kind to the Fighting Irish (4-2).
The BCS formula is the same as last season, with each poll counting for one-third of a team's grade and the computer ratings making up the remaining third. The highest grade possible is 1.000.
The difference this year is that the Harris poll has replaced The Associated Press Top 25. The AP asked BCS officials to stop using the media poll in the formula for determining which teams play for a national title after last season.
The Harris poll panel is comprised of former players, coaches and administrators, along with some media members.
Notre Dame is 11th in the Har
ris poll, 12th in the coaches' poll but no better than 21st in the six computer rankings. The Fighting Irish are not even among the best 25 teams in the country in two computer ratings.
In the AP poll, USC is No. 1. Texas is No. 2 and Notre Dame is No. 9.
Last year, the BCS found itself with a problem for which it has no solution.
The regular season ended with three unbeaten teams USC, Oklahoma and Auburn — at the top of the polls. The Tigers were the odd team out and the Trojans and Sooners played in the Orange Bowl for the national title. USC won 55-19, and is now in position to play for a third straight national title.
Texas hasn't won an outright national title since 1969.
With seven weeks left in this season, there are seven unbeaten teams in Division I-A — USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Alabama, Texas Tech and UCLA.
The Red Raiders (.7034) are seventh in the BCS standings, behind once-beaten LSU (.7078). Miami is eighth (.6928), UCLA is ninth (.6675) and Penn State (.5860) is tenth.
The Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998 by the leaders of college football's six high-revenue conferences
Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-10 and Southeastern Conference and Notre Dame.
The champion of each of those conferences earns an automatic bid into the four BCS games — the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls.

Left tackle Willem Roaf defends as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green looks for a receiver during the third quarter against the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. Roaf returned to the starting lineup on Sunday after being injured in the Chiefs' season opening against the Jets.
Chiefs ready for injured, suspended players to return
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The limp? Pay no mind.
It's not a recurrence of the hamstring injury that caused him to miss three games, Willie Roaf said, but a natural consequence of the years he's spent crushing his 6-foot-5, 320-pound — and, let's not forget, 35-year-old — body into opposing defenders.
"The hamstring was not bothering me," the Kansas City Chiefs' left tackle said after returning to the starting lineup in Sunday's 28-21 victory against the Washington Redskins. "I just limp around anyway. May be after I retire, it will go away. I've just got to do everything I can every week to help the team win."
Roaf, a 10-time Pro Bowler, was hurt early in Kansas City's season opener against the New York Jets. It was his first injury since a torn ligament in his right knee forced him to miss the last nine games of the New Orleans
Saints' season in 2001.
His return Sunday was unspectacular, as the Chiefs' offense managed only 274 yards. But he was out front on Kansas City's only rush touchdown, Priest Holmes' 6-yard sweep in the third quarter.
"I felt all right," Roaf said. "I've been playing football a long time. I felt better as the game went on, especially in the fourth quarter."
Roaf's return came at a critical time for the Chiefs (3-2), who had lost two straight and were coming off their bye week. On Oct. 6, right tackle Kevin Sampson was hospitalized with seizures while staying in New Jersey.
Tests showed no heart or neurological problems, and Sampson came back to Kansas City last week. He did not play against the Redskins, but Roaf's return allowed the Chiefs to move Jordan Black, who had been filling in at left tackle, to the right side.
Roaf acknowledged some
rust, though, and coach Dick Vermill agreed.
"Hamstring-wise, his injury was at 100 percent," Vermell said Sunday. "Was he 100 percent in terms of football playing? No. He'll have to play some and get back into it."
"You don't really rotate offensive linemen like you do defensive linemen," Vermeil said. "Right now, he's in a backup role getting ready to play. He had a great week of practice last week.
John Welbourn also returned Sunday, after a four-game suspension for violating the league's steroid policy. He worked out last week at all line positions except center, but was limited to special teams duty against the Redskins.
"He was very impressive on the field, and we know he's ready to play." Vermei added. "Whether he will play or nor is dependent on our injury factor."
Sampson is expected to return to practice Wednesday.
He was eligible to play Sunday, after serving a four-game suspension for his felony DUI arrest earlier this year.
On Monday, Vermeil made it clear he's tired of discussing the situation.
More likely to return, Vermeil said, is cornerback Eric Warfield.
"People want to make a big deal of Eric Warfield," he said. "Leave the guy alone. Let him come back and play football. He's gone through his suspension. He did a great job working out physically and doing what he was allowed to do. Now he's got to get back to playing football and getting back into football shape."
And that, Vermeil said,takes time.
"He was gone for four weeks. He didn't make a tackle or cover a receiver or do anything," Vereli said. "Carrying that over to the field and the speed of the game, that's tough to do."

Pujols sends Cards back to St. Louis with last-gasp blast
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Whoa there, Astros, Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals aren't ready to hand over that NL pennant just yet.
With Houston only one tantalizing out from its first World Series, Pujols saved St. Louis by hitting a stunning three-run homer off Brad Lidge in the ninth inning, and the Cardinals rallied for a 5-4 victory Monday night in Game 5 of the NL championship series.
Pujols' shot over the train tracks high above the left-field wall sent the series back to St. Louis for Game 6 on Wednesday night, with Mark Mulder set to face Houston's Roy Oswalt. The Cardinals also staved off the wrecking ball at Busch Stadium, scheduled for demolition as soon as their season is over.
One strike from ecstasy before David Eckstein's ninth-inning single, the Astros dropped to an agonizing 0-5 with a chance to clinch the NLCS.
One moment, Minute Maid Park was buzzing. The next, it was silent.
Lance Berkman's three-run homer in the seventh off Chris Carpenter gave Houston a 4-2 lead, sending the crowd into a deafening roar.
The Astros then put the series in Lidge's normally sure hands. But, trying for his fourth straight save in the series, he couldn't come through.
After Lidge retired his first two batters in the ninth, the pesky Eckstein grounded a single to left on a 1-2 pitch. Jim Edmonds worked out a walk and Pujols, who failed to deliver with runners on all night, drove an 0-1 pitch over the limestone facade.
Astros starter Andy Pettitte, in the dugout and ready to celebrate with his teammates, mouthed the words "Oh, my" as the ball left the park. Pujols took a moment to watch it sail while Lidge sunk into a crouch on the mound.
When Pujols got back to the dugout, manager Tony La Russa grabbed him for a huge hug.
"He just told me, 'The Great Pujols,' the slugger said. "They're going to be ready in St. Louis. We just need to win two
before we lose one."
It was a crushing loss for the Astros and the "Killer B's." Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell are still trying to reach the World Series for the first time after 15 years as teammates.
"It's terrible. You're high as a kite one minute," manager Phil Garner said. "We were feeling pretty good, but you have to play every out."
With a chance to reach the World Series for the first time in their 44-season history, the wildcard Astros drew a revved-up crowd that was ready to party. Some wore those bright, old rainbow jerseys, and even owner Drayton McLane was jumping out of his box seat now and then.
When they went ahead late, a nice touch of symmetry seemed to be in store: Exactly 45 years ago Monday, Houston was awarded an expansion franchise at an NL meeting in Chicago.
That's where the winner of this series will go — to face the White Sox — but it's not over yet, thanks to Puiols.
Biggio's broken-bat RBI single with two outs gave Houston a lead in the second.
Drawing on all his postseason experience, Petitte pitched out of trouble in the first two innings — but couldn't escape in the third.
Eckstein singled, stole second and moved to third on Edmonds' single. After Pujols and Reggie Sanders struck out, the left-hander walked Larry Walker, loading the bases.
Mark Grudzielanek, batting .138 in the postseason when he stepped to the plate, looped a soft single to right, driving in two runs for a 2-1 lead.
Peering over his glove in familiar fashion, Pettitt gave up two runs and seven hits in 61 1-3 innings. He was tagged for five runs in a Game 1 loss, when he pitched with a swollen right knee after getting struck with a sharply hit ball while running the bases during batting practice.
Notes: Edmonds' seventh-ning popup hit the roof and was a foul ball by rule even though it was caught in fair territory by SS Adam Everett. In a nod to hockey tradition, Pettit sported a playoff beard, just as many of his teammates have lately. The only pitcher to save four games in an LCS was Oakland's Dennis Eckersley against Boston in 1988.

"It's definitely a fight to not point fingers," Reid said, "but when we point fingers, we'll just start to go downhill."
This might not have been Reid's last visit to Arrowhead Stadium. He has a chance to play football on Sundays for a living. But he's such a competitor that right now all he wants is for the Jayhawks to win. Heck, even a touchdown would be nice at this point. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino insisted there was no tension between the offense and defense. Reid said there hadn't been any noticeable change during practices.
"We've been taking it to the offense since day one," he said.
There won't be much time to put another Band-Aid on the wound.In two weeks, Missouri is scheduled to visit Memorial Stadium for the homecoming game, where fans will expect a Kansas victory.
"So that's nothing new for us."
Mangino acknowledged the disappointing offensive performance and promised he wouldn't let up until his team got it right.
"It's frustrating for me, too"
he said.
There won't be much time to put another Band-Aid on the wound. In two weeks, Missouri is scheduled to visit Memorial Stadium for the homecoming game, where fans will expect a Kansas victory.
Reid and the defense will be there to make the case that they are the best defensive unit ever to wear the crimson and blue.
The offense is on its own.
"I have nothing to say to them," Reid said. "They can figure it out for themselves."
Let's hope they do. And if not for their own sake, then for Nick Reid's.

Freshmen don't falter in tough dual meets

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Confidence, positive attitudes, outstanding performances and an impressive freshman class have the Kansas swimming and diving team headed in the right direction.
"The freshman class has had an enormous impact on our team," Rusch said. "We need them and they are really stepping up to their potential, winning events, and giving their best."
The Jahawks turned around to defeat the Division II defending National Champion Truman State Bulldogs 127-78 in Kirksville, Mo., last Saturday. Despite the fatigue from the Friday meet, Kansas collaborated to win eight of the 11 events against Truman State.
The KU freshman class was represented in nearly every event, an aspect of the meet that senior captains Gina Gnatzig and Emily Rusch said were keys to victory.
The team is coming off of back-to-back meets in Missouri. The Jayhawks rallied at the Big 12 Relay on Friday in Columbia, Mo., to capture fourth place, with a score of 50 points. Texas, Texas A&M, and Missouri were the top three teams.
A lot of people had in-season best times, and there were a few lifetime bests. Even though we were tired from the relay meet the day before, we performed well and came out with a positive attitude."
The Jawhaws lost six seniors at the conclusion of last season.
Emily Rusch Senior
This season, the freshmen have filled in admirably, Rusch said.
Freshman Molly Brammer recorded a first place finish in the 1,000-yard freestyle event with a time of 10:19.38. She was also a part of the winning 400-yard freestyle relay team with Gnatzig, sophomore Terri Schramka, and freshman Ashley Leidigh. The team finished the event with a time of 3:32.08.
Freshman Shanna Bradbury clocked in at 2:07.92 for a first place finish in the 200-yard individual medley, and freshman Danielle Herrmann captured the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:21.23. Herrmann was also a member of the winning 400-yard medley relay with senior Lindsay Urbatchka, junior Jenny Short
and Schramka. The four finished the race in 3:53.74.
"A lot of people had in-season best times, and there were a few lifetime bests," Rusch said. "Even though we were tired from the relay meet the day before, we performed well and came out with a positive attitude."
Gnatzig herself had a victorious meet, capturing first place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:52.94. Schramka also recorded victories in the 400-yard freestyle and medley relays, but captured a third victory in the 500-yard freestyle. She finished the race in 5:01.54. Junior Emily Knopp secured a victory in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing with a time of 2:08.45.
The Jajawacks will not compete this weekend but will continue to train for the upcoming Border Showdown against Missouri on Oct. 28.
"Missouri had some good freshmen at the relay meet, and they looked good, but at the same time, we also saw how good we looked," Gnatzig said.
The Jahawks went 1-4 in the Big 12 last season. The home meet against Missouri will be an early test of conference competition. The meet is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Oct. 28 at Robinson Natatorium.

White Sox pitchers step up

ANAHEIM, Calif. — These Chicago White Sox are a team from another age.
Or maybe 1919, when Shoeless Joe Jackson's "Black Sox" dumped the World Series.
Perhaps from 1959, when Nellie Fox and the Go-Go Sox won the AL pennant.
Jose Contreras pitched a five-hitter for Chicago's fourth straight complete game, and the
White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Sunday night to win the AL championship series in five games.
Four major league teams
Four straight complete games? In this era, when relievers parade to the mound at a record rate?
"In the end, our pitching was amazing. I don't know if you'll ever see it again," said catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who again wound up in the middle of a controversial call that went Chicago's way.
major league teams
— Baltimore, Texas, Tampa Bay
and Cincinnati — didn't even
have four complete games all season.
Not since the 1956 New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers behind five straight complete games from Whitey Ford, Tom Sturdivant, Don Larsen (his perfect game), Bob Turley and Johnny Kucks had a staff thrown as many as four in a row in a postseason series.

'Hawks head to near-last tourney
Goal is experience, not ranking

BY ERIC JORGENSEN

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The women's tennis team will wind down its spring preparations after this week's Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Region Women's Tennis Championship in Salt Lake City.
The tournament starts Wednesday, Oct. 19, and will last until Sundav, Oct. 25.
Brown, Hommell, Bukina and Horvath will play in Wednesday's qualifying tournament, and then advance to the main draw if they qualify.
Competing for Kansas are senior Christine Skoda, junior Brittany Brown, sophomores Lauren Hommell and Elizaveta Avdeevea and freshmen Ksenia Bukina and Edina Howvath.
Skoda and Adveeva made it into the main draw with their qualifying records from the past year.
The ITA tournament is the second to last tournament of the fall season and the last time for the team to see a large number of regional opponents before winter.
The Jawahays also qualified three doubles teams, the maximum any school can send to the tournament. The teams are Adeveea/Bukain, Brown/
"Every tournament is important. This is the last time to see regional teams before the fall," Skoda said. "It gives us a chance to get a ranking before the spring."
Skoda and Hommell/Horvath.
Victories this week would boost the team's ITA rankings for the spring, but rankings are not the team's main concern. Players are looking for practice and experience in these opening tournaments to prepare them for the spring season.
"It's a regional tournament that shows how you will play in the spring," Brown said. "Everyone is good."
This will be the first time Brown has played in the tournament since her freshman year.
"I missed it last year, so I'm excited to go," Brown said.
Brown missed much of the fall season following surgery to fix a hernia.
The team will spend five days practicing in Salt Lake City before the tournament.
After the tournament, the Jay hawks won't play again until Nov. 4, when they play the University of Western Michigan Broncos in Kalamazoo, Mich.

North division off to slow start once again
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

around.
So far, this season looks the same.
DES MOINES, Iowa — A year ago, Iowa State was limping along at 0-3 in the Big 12 before getting hot and tying Colorado for the North division championship.
The Cyclones again are 0-3 in the league and hoping for another turnaround. The difference is that coach Dan McCarney doesn't think the 4-4 record that gave his team its title share last year will cut it this time
"I'd be surprised if the winner of the North has a .500 conference record this year," McCarney said Monday.
Still, McCarney and other coaches say there's plenty of time for things to get crazy again in the division, which was ridiculed last year as the league's runt because of its poor showing against South division teams, including Oklahoma's 42-3 mauling of Colorado in the conference championship game.
raco coach Gary Barnett said. "We haven't played anybody in the North yet, so I don't know if we'll know for couple of weeks how this thing is going to go."
"I think you could have a wacky North with the way it's going." Colo-
Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri are tied for first at 2-1, with Kansas State at 1-2 and Kansas joining Iowa State at 0-3. The key game this Saturday is Nebraska at Missouri. Colorado will be at home against Kansas.
The disparity between the top teams in the two divisions showed up again when Texas routed Colorado 42-17 last Saturday. But the North coaches feel their division is
stronger this year.
Nebraska (5-1) looks much improved after going 5-6 last fall, Barnett says his team is better and McCarney feels the same about the Cyclones, who have lost two overtime games in league play.
At this point, all one of the leaders has to do is win out to claim the division crown.
Colorado is in the best position because it gets both Nebraska and Missouri at home.
"All these games are going to be critical," Barnett said. "It's sort of like a playoff scenario."

Reid my lips: Step up, offense
PAGE 12A
Forget winning one for the little boy in the stands.
Forget winning one for the Gipper.
No, the Kansas Jayhawks should win one for Nick Reid.
The senior linebacker led the defense in nearly every statistical category Saturday, racking up 15 tackles and two sacks.
"I was exhausted," he said. "I felt like we were out there the whole game."
Losing is never fun, but losing with Reid on your team adds an extra level of frustration.
They almost were. The defense was asked to play for about twice as long as the offense, but you never would have guessed that by watching Reid's play.
This year's Kansas defense should be contending for a Big 12 North championship. Instead, it watched helplessly from the sideline as Oklahoma's defense outscored Kansas' offense 7-3.
Reid is every cliché in the book. He gives 110 percent, takes it one play at a time and doesn't have an ounce of quit in him.
“It's getting kind of old now,” Reid said. “I really thought we had a chance to win the game.”
This was a big game to win, too. The Jayhawks were supposed to march into Kansas City, Mo., and proclaim in front of a national television audience that they could hang with the big boys of the conference.
Instead, a half-filled stadium saw a half-complete effort from Kansas.

"Everybody from the coaches to the players and the fans went out of their way to make me feel important," he said.

Woeful offense
Mangino says blame on line, self
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas defense ranked among the Big 12 elite last season, and was expected to be the heart of the 2005 squad, but the offense wasn't supposed to be completely helpless.
After averaging 350 yards of total offense during the team's three non conference games, the offense has struggled in conference play. Since Big 12 play
began, the offense has averaged 201 yards of total offense.
While much of the blame has been directed at the quarterbacks, the offensive line has struggled as well. The line specifically had troubles in Kansas' loss to Oklahoma last weekend.
"My focus right now is primarily offensive line play and quarterback," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "Those two areas have to improve and improve dramatically."
The line gave up four sacks on Saturday and was unable to get any running game going. The rushing attack averaged half a yard per carry against Oklahoma.
Mangino said Sunday that the offensive line has taken a step backwards since the first few games of the season.
It was solid in the first two games, opening up holes for the running backs and helping the team rush for more than 200 yards.
Since that point the line has struggled to protect the quarterback, and the running game has also suffered.
"There's been missed assignments, and they've gotten beaten, flat out beaten, on some plays," Mangino said. "Too many plays."
Mangino said that much of the problem up front was because of fundamental errors.
"Fundamentals have not been what they want it to be. Not staying on blocks, not finishing blocks," Mangino said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the second time in four seasons, the Kansas men's basketball team will sport new uniforms when it takes the court this fall.
The design change was made because adidas became the KU athletics department's official supplier of equipment and apparel earlier this year. Nike was the previous supplier.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the uniform design was a joint decision between the athletics department and adidas.
A new contract provides a new look for Jayhawks
The team will have three different uniforms - white for home games, blue for away games and alternate red uniforms.
The team last changed the design of the uniforms in 2003 which was Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self's first season
Adidas provided the uniforms without charge because of the apparel contract.

The Missouri Tigers got a glimpse into their future on Saturday when freshman quarterback Chase Daniel came into the game in the fourth quarter and helped the Tigers overcome a 10-point deficit at home against Iowa State.
Daniel entered the game midway through the fourth quarter after Iowa State linebacker Tim Dobbins knocked
out Missouri quarterback Brad Smith.
Smith compiled only 94 yards of total offense in three and a half quarters of play.
Daniel led the Tigers on scoring drives of 80 and 87 yards, and led them on a drive that culminated in the game-winning field goal in overtime.
"Chase was pretty impressive," Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said. "He has good poise and a good release. It didn't even surprise me that much because he has so much
Pinkel said there was no controversy about who the starting quarterback would be, but Daniel might see some more time against the Huskers.

Daniel finished the game with 185 passing yards and one touchdown.

It appears to be made of metal and has a sturdy construction suitable for high elevations. The ladder is positioned against a wall, which has a conical roof and is partially obscured by trees or foliage.
A fire broke out in a housing structure around 1:30 a.m., Tuesday at 1216 Tennessee St. Lawrence firemen manned water hoses until all traces of fire were gone and residents were in safe keeping. Officials did not leave the site until just after 6:30 a.m.

Resident's pet confirmed as only fatality
Eric Leuthold thought the shouting he heard around 2 a.m. was only from drunken people coming home from the bars. But when he emerged from his apartment, he saw flames shooting up from his neighbor's house.
Mark Bradford, interim chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department, said a call came in at 1:33 a.m. Tuesday to put out a fire at 1216 Tennessee St. The entire street was blocked with emergency vehicles responding to the flames that erupted from the back of the housing structure. The fire crew worked until nearly 4:30 a.m. to put out the flames.
Leuthold said he saw three fire trucks spraying water on the fire with multiple hoses.
Fortunately for neighbors, the fire did not spread to any other buildings.
Misty Cox, of Lawrence, lives at 1206 Tennessee St. She said six people lived in the housing structure, which was converted into five apartments.
"The whole back side of the building was on fire, from top to bottom," the Lawrence resident said. "Even the cop I was talking to said he was worried about it catching other houses on fire."
at the scene soon after the fire started except for one person, who was called at her place of work and returned shortly.
Bradford said most residents of the building were present
Lynn Sander, Overland Park senior, lives at 1200 Tennessee St. and heard shouting and saw flashing lights. She went to the location of the fire to see what
had happened.
Unfortunately not every animal made it out alive. Bradford confirmed one pet died, although he could not confirm what kind of pet it was. He said
"Everyone was standing outside the building in the alley. I saw one guy in his boxers holding a small glass case. I think it might have had frogs in it," Sander said. "There was also this tiny lady with a bathrobe on, holding a cat and crying."
other pets were seen running from the dwelling.
Leuthold said he thought it was one of the female resident's dogs that had died in the fire.
"They brought something out wrapped in a blanket, and she just started crying." he said.
Bradford said the cause of the fire was under investigation and would be determined sometime today.

Marlesa Roney, vice provost for student success, agrees with Sanders that students' lack of knowledge about the provost's position is not a problem. Students don't really need to know who is running the behind-the-scenes action at the University because they are not directly involved with those officials.

Friends and family at Nicole Bingham's memorial service focused not on the tragedy of her death but on the beauty of her life, Tuesday.
Bingham, Wichita senior, died Oct. 7 in the Boardwalk Apartments fire. About 400 people attended the memorial service, which was held at the Lawrence Free Methodist Church, 3001 Lawrence Ave. Nicole's mother, Nancy Bingham, delivered the eulogy.
Carla Zimmerman, Wichita freshman attended her Alpha Delta Pi sister Nicole Bingham's memorial service. The service took place at Lawrence Free Methodist Church Tuesday evening, with a very large turnout of friends and family.
Nancy Bingham said that her healing process had been talking about her memories of her daughter.
"It pulls me out of despair when I share with the people who loved her," she said.
Her healing process will continue when she returns home to Wichita, she added.
Donna Bascom, Kearney, Neb., junior, and a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority with Bingham, chose to play a song in remembrance of Bingham. The two shared a love for the song "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. Bascom said Bingham made the world more wonderful.
Luke Grover, Wichita senior, met Bingham in a political science class and they became quick friends. Grover said Bingham was a beautiful person to the core and was always a good friend to everyone she knew. He said her hugs
were what he would miss the most. Grover had one wish on Bingham's behalf.
"Do what Nicole would do and never let go of your friends," Grover said.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Adam Deines
Adam Dennes Theater Manager-Kansas Union
How long have you been working at the Union?
I've worked here since the beginning of freshman year, so about a year and a few months. I worked a summer at my hometown theater as a projectionist and volunteer worker.
What is a typical work day like?
There is not any typical day. Some days I'll build a movie. Movies come in on six or seven reels and I put them all together and splice them into one big movie. It all goes into the platter system that makes the movie. It takes maybe an hour.
Does work interfere with school?
If anything, it helps me manage my time better.
What is the best part of your job?
Worst?
The best part definitely is getting paid to watch movies. The worst part is every once in a while I have to work a late night on a weekend, sometimes until midnight or 1. I'm here breaking down movies, which is basically the reverse of putting together movies, so we can
OLD NAVY
ship them back to the distributor in Kansas City. We get movies mailed in every week.
How can students find out about movie showings?
Check the SUA Web site. Every Thursday and Friday night, almost, we have a regular feature film, plus French and Italian "college flashback" films on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
What are some of the more interest-
movies that have been shown?
We just showed "House of Flying Daggers" Monday night. Foreign films are always interesting.
What is your favorite SUA activity?
Movie on the Hill, because the idea of watching a movie
outside is just a cool concept. We also do "Rocky Horror Picture Show" on Halloween in the Union Ballroom. Last year, we had a band play and a bunch of other one show activities. People dressed up and we handed out prop packs to the audience. In part of the movie, everyone throws toast, so we do that, and there's a lot of audience interaction.
How are the movies chosen?
The SUA film committee does all of that.
How many hours do you work a week?
About 15-20, but that's between two jobs. I'm also the Union Coordinator, or weekend manager.
What is the cost of an SUA movie pass?
About$25-$30 or $2
per movie. Sometimes
we have free movies
and events, too.
What is the best part of having a campus job?
What is your favorite thing about KU?
It's convenient to be able to work on campus and it's good pay and good people to work with.
HOUSING
Interesting people. I like meeting new people and finding out what they are all about.

Colorful co-op emptying out
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN WATER WRITR
A big wooden spool table sits in the middle of the room called the "rackleshack," across from a poster with crazy drawings and words that read: "Free Trade Area of the Americas: Global Resistance to Corporate Colonialism."
It is the south lounge of The Sunflower House, a cooperative living pad for students, Lawrencians and transients for 36 years.
The Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St., is the oldest continuously running co-op of the three overseen by the University of Kansas Student Housing Authority. Unfortunately, it's half-empty.
People move in and out so much that it's hard to say exactly how many people live there at a certain moment, but after a few residents move out next week, just 14 or 15 people will be living there — fewer than half of the house's 31-person occupancy
Reminders of the past mix with signs of the present. Walk up to the doorstep, and the first thing you'll notice is the fresh yellow paint on the outside of the house. The second thing you'll see is the bicycles chained to the front porch railing, several of them rusted and covered with cobwebs, locked up and abandoned.

limit, said Aaron Goldblatt. Overland Park junior and resident since May 2004.
Patrick Cady, a 2004 KU graduate and current resident, said the occupancy was the lowest he'd seen since he moved there in the summer of 2002. But it'll rebound, he said. He hopes it will. He loves the place.
Traces of past residents also linger; a carving on the arm of an old couch proclaims "Eat Flowers and Live," and junk left behind crowds a couple of rooms.
"The last three years, I've lived with a girl from Transylvania, a professional opera singer and a guy who's fluent in Mayan," he said from his seat in the rackleshack, a fitting nickname given to the room years ago. "It's a trip. You really get a range of personalities."
The decor of the house has a vibe straight from 1969, the year of its inception, from the multi-colored walls painted by residents a few months ago to the colored silk cloths hanging from the ceiling in the north living room.
The house was founded under the name CIA House, short for Campus Improvement Association, by a 33-year-old KU professor named Keith Miller in the fall of 1969. It was a

time when cooperative living centers were springing up across the country.
There were no rules; everyone was expected to chip in. Unfortunately, as Miller said, "someone had to take the garbage out," and no one
did. Within months, co-ops were dying across the country. They needed structure. The CIA house was filled with dogs, guests and trash.
"The place just sank," said Miller, professor of applied behavioral science. "Fewer people wanted to live there. It stank. It was just terrible."
The house shut down in the summer of 1971 for major cleaning and reorganization. It re-opened in the spring of 1972 under the name Sunflower House and with a new work-sharing system still in place today.
It's been kicking ever since, going through high points and low points, clean years and dirty years.

September. Some of the residents who are moving out were evicted because they weren't doing their jobs, Goldblatt said, which made things harder.
And after a new 10-person coop, Ad Astra Per Aspera, opened Tuesday at 1035 Kentucky St., Sunflower House could be in financial trouble if it doesn't get more residents.
Zack Falin, who resigned from the board of directors of the University of Kansas Student Housing Authority on Monday, said,
"There's always an ebb and flow, and people tend to come and go in groups of two or three. But it is unusual for it to have that low of an occupancy."
But there's still something attractive about the place: cheap rent, the bond of working together, the loose atmosphere.
Cady said, "I really dug on the idea of people all-for-one putting into it. I always dug it as sort of a gypsy frat."

Museum guru faces theft charges
WICHITA — Jurors are expected to hear opening arguments Wednesday in the federal trial of the man who turned a small-town planetarian into a nationally recognized space museum, which houses such artifacts as
the Apollo 13 command module.
Jury selection began Tuesday in the case against Max Ary, the former director of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson. Ary is accused of stealing items from the collection, but his attorneys have contended in earlier hearings the items actually belonged to Ary.
He has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he made profits on
a number of artifacts, including ones on loan from NASA.
He faces 19 federal counts ranging from mail fraud to money laundering.
Ary has said he is looking forward to proving his innocence.
Jury selection began Tuesday afternoon, with the trial to last about two weeks.The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to five years in federal prison
and a $250,000 fine on each of the wire fraud and mail fraud counts. He faces a maximum penalty of up to 10 years and a $250,000 fine on each count of theft and each count of transportation of stolen property. Two of the counts ask for the return of any property or proceeds Ary received as a result of the alleged crimes.

Safety concerns prompt act
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The recent fire at Boardwalk Apartments has raised concerns about the issue of fire safety. Pennington & Company, a Lawrence-based company, has teamed with a national organization to pursue the safety of greek houses here and across the country.
FIRES IN UNIVERSITY HOUSING
While only 8 percent of greek houses nationally are equipped with sprinkler systems, Greek houses at the University of Kansas are equipped with fire prevention equipment but still need renovations to prevent a fire.
Pennington & Company, which raises funds for fraternity and sorority housing, is working with the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee in Washington to approve the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act. The bill would allow
Here are some statistics about fire safety in university greek and student housing:
♦ An average of 1,800 fires occur every school year.
♦ A fire alarm at 600 fires occurs.
Since 1976, there have been 48 fatalities in greek housing fires
$ \diamond $ There have been no fatalities in greek housing fires with working sprinklers
Source: American Fire Sprinkler Association
Kevin O'Nell, president of the PAC, said renovations to greek houses across the country were needed.
"They are in significantly worse shape than those owned by the University," he said.
Patrick Alderdice, president of Pennington & Company, said contributions made to greek organizations could only be used to improve the education space of a house. That means installation of sprinkler systems or other safety
devices in other parts of the house are not possible.
"When only 8 percent of our houses are sprinkled, we are just playing with fire at this point," he said. "I get very concerned when we are housing 50 to over 100 men and women."
One hundred percent of the houses at the University have sprinklers after a $30-million renovation addressed the issue, Alderdice said.
"They are some of the most up-to-date Greek houses and safe Greek houses in the country," he said.
The bill would also provide other fire-related renovations for houses that were built as early as the 1920s.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, said while the old houses provided a rich tradition, it also meant they needed improvements such as electrical wiring. She said she was taking a survey of the houses to learn what safety devices were needed.
Debbie Pitts, chapter adviser for Alpha Gamma Delta, said the bill could contribute to the sorority's effort to build a new house.
CAMPUS
"I think people would be a little more generous and increase their tax savings," she said.
The bill currently sits in congressional hearings, which run through December.
O'Nell said he was optimistic the bill would pass.
"It would remove a major obstacle," he said.

Recreation center lengthens its hours
The Student Recreation Fitness Center has extended its hours from now until spring break. Now, the recreation center will open at 5:30 a.m., and close at 2 a.m., Monday through Thursday and close at midnight on Friday. Weekend ends will stay the same.
The recreation center is so busy between fall and spring break, that extra hours of operation are needed, said Roger Heimerman, assistant director of facilities and membership services.
He said he went to the recreation center Monday at 1 a.m., and only 10 people were there.

Heimerman said he hoped that more students start coming late at night.

Theft
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said both officers patrolling the area and the use of the security camera system installed this semester have increased. The cameras are used to prevent theft but could not completely stop the problem, he said.
Meyer said he's happy his bicycle was not stolen, but has learned his lesson.
Eric Meyer, Fairbanks, Alaska, freshman, said he's had enough of the theft around McCollum Hall. His friend's bicycle was stolen last Sunday and the thief tried cutting the lock on Meyer's bicycle, he said.
Now, he will take it up to his room, because he thinks security outside is inadequate.
Andrew McKee, Lawrence freshman, said more could be done to prevent bicycle theft from occurring. Better security camera placement and more lighting and signs indicating the punishment if caught would deter criminals from stealing bicycles around the halls, he said.
Mckee also said authorities needed to do a better job of looking out for stolen bicycles.
Bailey said officers could work only with the information that's provided to them. The process can be difficult when a serial number or owner applied number is not provided, he said.

Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said that a city ordinance required pawn shops to provide detailed information on goods they purchased. Pawn shops comply with the ordinance, he said.
Keary said the Public Safety Office has worked with the Lawrence Police Department and pawn shops, though pawn shops do not often buy bicycles.

Students generally pay attention to what is important to them at the moment, he said, and academic titles and job descriptions are long, boring and irrelevant to students. So it's OK if they are clueless about the title of the provost, he said.
He said his personal experience with KU administration had been a good one, and the administrators had always made themselves accessible to him. But he said they could definitely put forth more effort to connect with students who are not connected with Student Senate.

Sprint files second suit
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A majority of the documents detail how Nextel Partners reached its forecasts for future revenue that were included in securities filings and public statements over the last three months.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the second time in a week, Sprint Nextel Corp. has filed suit against affiliate Nextel Partners Inc. as their disagreement over the likely acquisition of Nextel Partners becomes increasingly bitter.
Nextel WIP Corp., a subsidiary of Sprint Nextel, filed suit Tuesday in Delaware Chancery Court, demanding access to Nextel Partners' financial records and other documents.
The suit also said it was looking "to investigate mismanagement, breaches of fiduciary duty an/or misconduct."
The suit gave no specifics of possible wrongdoing at Nextel Partners, and Walsh called those claims "boilerplate language."
Sprint Nextel already owns a third of Nextel Partners' shares, but the two are sharply divided on what the remaining shares are worth.
Snareholders of Kirkland, Wash.-based Nextel Partners are expected on Monday to trigger a provision requiring Sprint Nextel to buy the company.
Nextel Partners says its agreement forces Sprint Nextel to pay a premium for the shares, while Sprint Nextel says the stock price is already inflated.
"We will respond in due course," said Nextel Partners spokeswoman Susan Johnston. "We are focused on running our business and delivering the record results we announced this morning."

Take advantage of SUA, or kiss your $5 goodbye
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the $5 Student Union Activities fee that most of us paid when we enrolled is being put to good use.
Case in point: SUA will welcome Chuck D to the Kansas Union today.
For just $4, students will be able to see the man named by Rolling Stone magazine in May 2004 as one of "the fifty greatest performers in rock & roll history." Chuck D is a rapper, poet, political activist, writer and one of the most important artists in hip-hop as the founder and lead rapper of Public Enemy.
He will be addressing "music with a message," racial issues in the music industry and (to celebrate KJHK's 30th birthday)

the importance of student-run radio.
The fee that makes this possible is in its first year, and already SUA has brought some great names in music, politics and entertainment to our campus. Last night, the rock band Hot Hot Heat and local band Doris Henson played a free show on the Lied Center lawn.
Popular comedians Jeffrey Ross and Carlos Mencia have performed at the University this
semester because of the SUA.
Basketball coach Ken Carter lectured on how he motivated his famous team and eventually became the subject of the movie "Coach Carter." And at the end of September, SUA brought break dancing group "Urban Spectacular" to the Lied Center and donated all of the proceeds from ticket sales to the Hurricane Katrina Relief fund.
SUA also has plans to reinstate its popular outdoor music festival "Day on the Hill."Consider the amount of money it would cost for you to see Chuck D lecture or Hot Hot Heat perform outside of a university setting.
Without the $5 fee that students pay, SUA would never
have been able to afford to pay prominent performers to come to the University, and in turn, it is unlikely that most of you would have been able to have these experiences.
So the question is, how can you take advantage of the money you paid when you enrolled?
The best way to do this is by attending these events that cost you little money (if any). Here are some suggestions: Every Thursday, SUA hosts "Tea Time" at the Union at 3 p.m. This gives you a chance to not only get free tea and treats, but it's also a time to wind down and socialize with your fellow students.
At least once a week, SUA

shows a movie at the Woodruff Auditorium. (One of my personal favorites, "Shaun of the Dead," will be playing in conjunction with Haunted Hawk Nights on Saturday, Oct. 22). SUA will welcome comedians Dwayne Perkins and Maryel-
len Hooper on Nov. 30. Hooper was named the "Best Female Stand-Up" at the 12th annual American Comedy Awards, and Dwayne Perkins is a well-known African-American comedian. Tickets will be $5 for students.
For more information on how you can use the fee you paid to the fullest, check out SUA's Web site at www.suaevents.com.
Take advantage of the small fee you paid when enrolling, and experience some performers you may never have access to again.

Kansan should be less Pence-ive
It's insulting that someone I don't know would write a letter to the editor assuming behavior on my part in which I don't engage.
I'd like to respond to Ray Pence's letter to the editor. I do not "address women in [my life] - family members, friends, teachers, co-workers - as 'cunts.'"
It would be just as illogical for me to assume that Ray Pence calls the thinking of everyone he meets "downright stupid" based solely on what he wrote to The University Daily Kansan.
I am also frustrated with the Kansan for choosing to publish the letter. It seems
Additionally, the content of Pence's letter would indicate that he didn't even attend Mencia's performance, and would therefore have no frame of reference — no context — in which to consider both Mencia's comments and my letter.
Pence's defamation of my character isn't important enough for the Kansan to contact him and ask him to revise his letter before printing it.
Pence misinterpreted the intention of my letter, which was to criticize the Kansan for both misquoting Mencia and for taking the "quote" out of context, thereby making it
more offensive than it would be otherwise.
That, however, does not justify the personal attacks on my character written by Ray Pence and published by The University Daily Kansan.
I do not support or condone the use of the word "cunt," and that was certainly not the intended message of my letter.
I realize that by signing my name to the letter, I became part of the debate over Mencia's appearance at the Lied Center.

Knowledge is power!
This is in reference to Gina Ford's brilliant article showing great concern about the derogatory writings of someone who is a coward.
In India, just like in America, communities exploit citizens based on their birth and discriminate in society. Because of democracy and the availability of education for a larger number of people, the parity of various communities has slowly come down.
Let us strengthen the education facilities available to all communities including blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other South American communities, as well as poor whites who are as much discriminated as the others. In due course, there will be less discrimination.

Kids will be kids
If the University of Kansas coaches — notably Mark Mangino and Bill Self — are going to continually call their players "kids," and yell at them like they are kids, then they should not be surprised when they play like kids. How about showing the players the same respect the coaches demand?

Soccer is popular in nearly every country except the United States. Next to the Olympics, the World Cup is the biggest sporting event around the world.
The KU campus is no exception to America's low interest in soccer. The University is dominated by basketball and football, leaving international students with few options for channeling their soccer passion
Piero Eugster, Bogotá, Colombia, senior, said from the time he was five years old, he has watched the sport and developed a liking for the running and contact aspects of the game.
"If you're from Latin America it's almost national pride to be good at it," he said.
Eugster is part of a local team called the Drinking Bastards. The team's colorful name is tied to the team's origin.
The team includes players from Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Turkey, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, Cyprus and the United States. It is also the only team in the Lawrence Adult Soccer League's open division that has ever had female players.
About four-and-a-half years ago, Eugster, the only original member still on the team, and a few friends tried out for the KU Men's Soccer Club. They were upset when they didn't make the team because nearly all the players chosen were returning players from the previous season.
They put together a team of their own, joined a local league and decided to call themselves the Drinking Bastards. The name was intended to be anti-establishment.
"When we were trying to figure out what name, we were frustrated because KU wouldn't take us, the club wouldn't take us, and I thought that this would be the most anti-organized team that they could be." Eugster said.
Despite their name, he insists that the team plays sober. Although they do party, they only drink after games or "much earlier," he said.
The Drinking Bastards aren't the only team with international players. Other teams, such as the Real Latinos and the Jambars, made up of mostly African and Middle-Eastern players, also compete in the open division of the Lawrence Adult Soccer League.
"It's just the local league, but half the teams seem to be made up of internationals," Tom Casling, Bristol, United Kingdom, senior and Drinking Bastards member, said.
adidas
Casling joined the team after Eugster approached him while he was playing at the practice fields one day and asked him to join. He has been playing on the team for about a month, making him the newest member.
The same relaxed attitude that Eugster had when creating the team carries over to his recruiting strategy.
"If you're going to commit, and you're going to come, and you want to, and you're not selfish with the ball, then I will talk to you," Eugster said. There is an official coach to bring this diverse group together.
There is no official coach to bring this diverse group together. Kerem Sengun, Istanbul, Turkey, senior, said Eugster was the team's informal "coach, organizer, defense player and captain."
Euster replied, "We know what we have to work on, so we all communally decide what we have to work on."
Some players on the team, which has seven new members this season, complain that only the strongest players on the team regularly attend scheduled practices. Because all the team's members work or are students, the players have had difficulties coordinating schedules.
They are attempting to restructure practices so more team members can attend and so the team can shift its focus to improving its game strategy.
Currently, about a third of the team members show up for practices and play pickup games with whoever is there and wants to play against them.
The team practices three times a week at the fields on 23rd and Iowa streets and plays games against the six teams in the open division on Sundays at Outlet Park. The open division is the league's most competitive, and there are divisions for players older than 30 and for coed recreational teams. The Drinking Bastards have tied two games and lost two games so far this season. Six games are left, and Eugster hopes that a better practice schedule and stronger ties among the members will greatly improve the team's prospects.

Mangino left with few QB options
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino may have four players to choose from at quarterback, but in reality his options are limited.
The Jayhawks banked on junior quarterback Adam Barmann leading the charge this season and were left with an IOU. Now, in his fourth season at the helm, Mangino is forced to turn to a fifth-year senior who is also a Terry Allen recruit.
The failure of the Jayhawks to recruit another junior college quarterback as an insurance policy for Barmann has proven to be costly. The most successful quarterback of the Mangino era has been junior college transfer Bill Whittemore, who ranks fourth in career total yardage at Kansas.
Senior Jason Swanson could be a nice supplement to the quarterback carousel, but this season he has worn a baseball cap more than a helmet. Last year's prized recruit, freshman Marcus Herford, who some labeled as the KU quarterback of the future, is now a backup wide receiver. That has left Kansas with Brian Luke, a senior quarterback who showed some flashes of brilliance last season but has struggled this year.
Next season, it appears that redshirt freshman Kerry Meier will have to shoulder the load. Using Oklahoma's Rhett Bomar as a measuring stick, Meier will need time to learn a Division I system. Keep in mind that Bomar was the No. 1 quarterback prospect in the nation two years ago, but the redshirt freshman is currently dwindling at 11th place in Big 12 passing vards.
Quigley, like Meier, is taking a redshirt. When looking ahead to next season, the Jayhawks' backfield contenders will likely consist of junior Jon Cornish, freshman Gary Green, and Quigley. There is good potential in that group, but the Jayhawks need a star.
The running back situation is also bleak for the Jayhawks next season. They will lose dependable Clark Green, who is currently seventh in career rushing yards at Kansas. The Jayhawks tied for second to last in the conference for the smallest number of running backs in a recruiting class. Angus Quigley was the only running back signed.
Making matters worse, the Jayhawks will be able to sign only three junior college players for next season and the 2007 season because of self-imposed sanctions.
Three junior college recruits would be the lowest total of any Mark Mangino recruiting class. With Kansas obviously needing immediate offensive help for next year, along with the losses on the defensive side of the ball, the three-junior-college-player limit will be devastating.
Mangino has taken great strides in upgrading the talent level at Kansas. Nevertheless, because of the lack of junior college help this season and the restrictions for the next two seasons, the jayhawks won't have the luxury of junior college transfers to back up Kerry Meir and the running game next season.

Sophomore guard Rodrick Stewart sat out part of last season after transferring from USC. He will be eligible to play for the Jayhawks on Dec. 16.

Stewart's on the ball
After a year, sophomore guard ready to play for Jayhawks
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SOCCER WRITER
Sitting in class, it's hard for Rodrick Stewart to pay attention to what the professor
is saying. Visions of himself in a white No. 5 Kansas jersey, throwing down a monster dunk in front of a packed Allen Fieldhouse crowd, flash in and out of his mind. These days, Stewart always thinks about basketball.
For someone in the prime of his college career, a year without playing ball is a long time.
"I think about it every day, just sitting in class or in my room," said Stewart, sophomore guard. "I just doze off and think about when my time is going to come that I get to step on the court for the first time."
That time will come when the Jayhawks tip off against Pepperdine on Dec. 19. The NCAA's transfer rule requires athletes such as Stewart, who transferred to Kansas from Southern California at the end of the fall semester last year, to sit out a full academic year. After sitting out the spring semester of 2005, Stewart can become eligible at the end of the fall semester. The last day of finals is Dec. 16.
One year ago, Stewart went through the motions as a member of the Trojans basketball team. After starting 17 of 27 games and averaging four points and two rebounds his freshman season, Stewart said he got into a slump.
He weighed his options in the offseason. Staying at USC meant he would get to be close to his
twin brother, Lodrick, who also plays for the Trojans. Transferring might give him the opportunity to start over again.
Immediately after Stewart announced that he would transfer after the Trojans' exhibition season, the recruiting began. Stewart visited Kansas for its game against St. Joseph's on Nov. 23 and immediately knew he wanted to be a jav Hawk.
"I went home and talked to my dad, and he had watched Kansas and coach Self, and we decided it would be the best thing for me." Stewart said.
Although it was difficult for Stewart to leave his brother, he
decided that it was best for both of them.
"I thought it would be good for me and my brother to split up and grow into two different people," Stewart said. "Plus, this is what was best for me. I needed a school that was better fit for me."
Stewart, who has been friends with sophomore center C.J Giles since the seventh grade in Seattle, already knew most of the guys on the team before he transferred. In addition to Giles, he had played ball with Aaron Miles and Mike Lee since he was little.

Junior college transfer Shaquina Mosley is a preseason Newcomer of the Year in the Bg 12 conference.
'Shaq' wins award
Junior point guard Shaquina Mosley was named Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year in a poll of the Conference basketball coaches.
Her team won the National Junior College championship last year. Mosley was named the junior College/Community College Player of the Year.
Mosley transferred to Kansas from Central Arizona Community College.
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Hendrickson said Mosley was initially worried about whether she would be able to fulfill expectations.
Mosley will share time at point guard this season with freshman Ivana Catic.
"I don't need her to live up to any title," Henrickson said. "I need her to run an offense
and work to be one of the best defenders we have."
Senior forward Crystal Kemp was also selected as preseason All-Big 12 Conference.
Senior forward Sophia Young, who plays for defending national champion Baylor, was the preseason Player of the Year.
Kemp is one of three seniors returning to the team. She said she was pleased at the talent of this year's recruiting class, and that it would allow her to rest more.

Player says losing must end
Season-ending injury causes readjustments on the fly

Since a season-ending injury to junior outside hitter Jana Correa, the schedule has been anything but kind to the Jayhawk volleyball team and its record shows it.
K an s a s record has dropped to 12-6 overall and 4-5 in the Big 12 Conference.
Kansas just concluded a brutal part of its conference schedule, in
which they lost to nationally ranked opponents Kansas State, Nebraska and Missouri.
Senior outside hitter Paula Caten said the Jayhawks still thought they could be a factor in the conference and national championship picture, despite their recent swoon.
"Hope is the last thing that we are going to lose," she said.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team needed improve on serving and passing in order to stop its losing skid and achieve the goals it set at
the beginning of the year.
"It's been difficult for us to maintain consistency all around," he said.
Iowa State comes to town as one of biggest surprises in the conference.
Under new coach Christy Johnson, it defeated 18th-ranked Texas back in September and has won on the road at Oklahoma and
Oklahoma and Baylor.
After finishing last in the league a season ago, the Cyclones are 12-8 and in fifth place in the Big 12 with a 5-4 conference record.
The five conference victories are an alltime high for the Cyclones program.
"We've got to work to improve on our serving and passing. It's been difficult for us to maintain consistency all around."
Ray Bechard KU volleyball coach
worried about where it would finish in the Big 12 standings as much as making a push into the NCAA tournament.
Iowa State is led by its defense. It has held opponents to a 191 hitting percentage this season.
"They will be a tough team," Caten said. "All of the teams in the Big 12 are hard to play. We have to respect everyone, but we have a lot of confidence."
Iowa State appears to be in position to make the tournament as well.
The Cyclones are second in the Big 12 with 3.14 blocks per game.

Kansas' future at Arrowhead unclear
FOOTBALL
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
While Kansas Athletics Department officials declared last weekend's game at Arrowhead Stadium a success, the possibility of any future games in Kansas City, Mo., remains uncertain.
The department had set a goal of selling 50,000 tickets to Kansas' first game at Arrowhead, and more than 54,000 attended the game against Oklahoma.
The attendance figure, 54,109 would not be possible at Memorial Stadium, which seats about 50,000.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said any financial gains the department received from the game would not be known for several weeks.
In the agreement to move the game to Arrowhead, Kansas received revenue from tickets, and the Kansas City Chiefs received revenue from concessions and

He said the possible financial benefits of a game at an NFL venue was not the only factor in the decision.
"The game this year was not moved for solely financial reasons, nor will any future decisions be made only on finances." Marchiony said.
The decision to move the game this season, Marchiony
said, was because Kansas already had six home games at Memorial Stadium. He said the department at least had to try a game at Arrowhead to see if it was a good idea.
Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
The department would discuss the future of any other games in Kansas City with football coach Mark Mangino, University administration, fans and Lawrence city officials. Marchiony said.
THE FAIRPLAY STADIUM
Kansas City Chiefs officials told Kansas they were willing to host a home game at Arrowhead every season. Marchiony said future games in Kansas City, however, would not include nonconference opponents.
Because the football team does not play any big-name teams from the Big 12 South division, such as Texas or Oklahoma, for another two seasons, Kansas officials have looked to their fellow North division teams for a possible Kansas City match-up.
Larry Keating, senior associate athletics director, said he

he found no teams interested in a two-year agreement, which would require both teams to move a home game off campus.

"We have come to expect that type of steady play out of her," Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said. "And she delivers for us."
Individually, senior Chelsey Pryor finished in 31st and was followed in order by sophomore Annie Giangrosso, sophomore Sarah Kierl, senior Meredith Winkellman and junior Jill Womble. As a team, Kansas finished ahead of conference rivals Kansas State, which beat Kansas last week in the Madilynn Smith Invitational in Manhattan, and Iowa State. Kansas State. The Jayhawks were also able to beat the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, who finished ahead of them in the previous two tournaments.
This was the first tournament of the season that Kansas failed to record a sub-300 round. Arkansas played host to
the tournament and finished in first place with a total score of 876. The Razorbacks had all of the top five individual golfers except Costner. Sophomore Ashley Medders won the tournament for Arkansas.
The Jayhawks have a two-week break before competing at the last tournament of the fall season on Nov. 4-6 at Auburn. March Port

Astros still one victory away
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Just as he always does at home, Houston Astros closer Brad Lidge charged out of the bullpen to the blaring sound of his heavy metal theme song. "Here Comes the Pain."
Those words are meant for opposing teams.
But the only Monday night which went from being one strike away from its first World Series appearance to having to go back to St. Louis for Game 6 of the National League championship series.
y team hurting was Houston,
"Obviously, I wish I had that pitch back," Lidge said. "He hit a mistake."
Lidge hung an 0-1 slider and Albert Pujols hit it onto the railroad track high above the left-field seats for a three-run hero that beat the Astros 5-4.
"Obviously, I wish I had that pitch back. He hit a mistake."
That swing, by Pujols, won the game, but that couldn't have happened if pesky Cardinals lead-off hitter David Eckstein hadn't grounded a two-strike, two-out pitch through the left side of the infield for a single, and usually aggressive-swinging Jim Edmonds
hadn't walked on five pitches.
"The mistake we made was walking Edmonds. You can't walk him," manager Phil Garner said. "We were feeling pretty good, but you have to play every out."
"There's nothing that's going to
Lidge couldn't get the one that meant the most in Houston after saving three straight games in this NLCS, and 42 in the regular season.

take away the hurt. Nothing can take it away from any of us," said Lance Berkman, whose three-run homer in the seventh inning had put Houston ahead.
Steve Ueckert/THE ASSOCIATED PRES!
"We all feel for him. There's nothing you can say."
St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols hits a three-run home run off Houston Astros closer Brad Lidge during the ninth inning of Game 5 of the National League Championship Series Monday at Minute Maid Park in Houston. The Cardinals won 5-4.
The Astros are in the same position as last year, leading the NLCS 3-2 and headed back to Busch Stadium. Game 6 is Wednesday night. They hope Lidge will get a chance to be in the same situation again.
"He knows we're behind him," third baseman Mustan Ensberg added. "That's just baseball."
"We still have all the confidence in the world in him," shortstop Adam Everett said.
Before giving up a run in the Astros' 4-3 victory in Game 3, on
Saturday, Lodge had pitched 30 one thru three consecutive scoreless innings against St. Louis since Sept. 14, 2003 — including six innings in last year's NLCS.
Lidge pitched another scoreless inning Sunday in a 2-1 victory, but gave up two hits. He got out of trouble because of an impressive game-ending double play.

Ball
"I remember going down to Portland and playing Aaron and Mike's team," Stewart said. "They were ranked really high and we beat them. Then they came up to Seattle, we beat them."
Stewart moved to Lawrence in early January, right before the start of classes. His career as a Jayhawk began.
Baby Freeze
When Stewart takes the court on Dec.19, he will be wearing a number that Kansas fans have seen for the last four years number five.
Stewart will tell you he chose the No. 5 jersey because when he first got to Kansas, he looked up to Keith Langford. Stewart would usually be the one guarding Langford during practice.
"One of my favorite players when I got here was Keith," Stewart said. "He helped me a
lot. When I had to guard him, he was 'big freeze' and I was 'baby freeze.' It was just something that we joked about last year, so I thought it would be good if I got his number."
Stewart struggled last year to adjust to being at Kansas, especially without his brother. He said Langford was influential in helping him persevere through the transition.
"When I got down here, it was hard for me because it was my first time being away from my brother," Stewart said. "He hung out with me every day and made sure that I was OK. When I had problems, I would go to him and ask for advice. He helped me a lot."
When his time comes, Stewart hopes to fill the shoes of Langford. At 6 feet 4 inches and 200 pounds, Stewart could be the most athletic player on the team. That became evident at Late Night when Stewart stole the show with an array of athletic dunks.
Stewart said he brought energy to the team. He prides himself in his defensive ability, but also said he had the opportunity to be a leader on the Jayhawks young team.
A second chance at life
"We all knew Rod was a good dunker." Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said. "If he could become great defensively, he could really help the team because he is really athletic and he's tough."
"I try to pattern my game after guys like Dwayne Wade, just guys that are real athletic," Stewart said. "I love to play defense, and I'm kind of a scrappy player on offense and defense. A lot of highlights — you'll see a lot of highlights."
Last week, after a team workout, freshman guard Mario Chalmers could not find his chain. He looked everywhere for it. He asked everyone if they had seen it. The chain was nowhere.
Stewart is having fun playing basketball again. He is likely to be seen along one of his freshman teammates, his roommate Darnell Jackson or his best friend C.J. Giles.
"I had it the whole time in my pocket," Stewart laughed. "I just loved watching him look for it. Every day we are taking someone's stuff and hiding it."
When the time comes to play, Stewart said he would give no less than 100 percent. He isn't concerned that he will be out of place once he becomes eligible, or that Self will already have his rotation set. Stewart said that is what makes him work hard.
"I'm not distracted by those things at all," Stewart said. "That is what makes me come out and just go as hard as I can every day and the coaches know that. Basically, for me this is like a second chance at life."

Beckham, the world's most recognized soccer player, and his wife, the former Posh Spice, are seeking libel damages against the News of the World newspaper over an article that alleged the pair were maintaining a false image of a happy marriage to protect financial interests. The case will be heard before a judge and jury at London's Law Courts.
The couple's lawyer said the Beckhams would argue they had been defamed.

Kidman photographer won't need DNA test
SYDNEY, Australia — A photographer suspected of planting a listening device outside Nicole Kidman's home won't have to give police a DNA sample, an appeals court ruled Tuesday.
Max Kreutzer/KANSAN
Police alleged that photographer Jamie Favcett, 43, was seen near the house on security cameras.
The Waverley Local Court ordered Fawcett to give police a DNA sample to be compared with samples allegedly found on the device. Fawcett appealed to the New South Wales state Supreme Court, which held he couldn't be forced to do so with no evidence he violated a law.

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
Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2005. You might be stronger and more reactive to others than in previous years, especially if they step on your toes. You will define your boundaries more clearly, but at the same time, you won't take others so personally. You will make money hand over fist, especially through a relationship or partnership. You will have many people cheering you on. Your energy soars when you're with others. If you are single, several key people will make a difference in your life. To determine who will be your next sweetie, evaluate what type of relationship you want. If you are attached, your partner might need and want more say. Let him or her have it. TAURUS can be stubborn.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
***** You are far more in control than you think you are or might like to be. Sometimes blowing your fuse feels good, but it ultimately might cause a bigger problem. Keep it together, Aries. By the evening, you will be able to talk about this problem. Tonight: Breeze around.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
today, but it might not be because you are seeing red. You simply have a lot to do and the energy to do it. Be aware that not everyone has your power or strength. Think carefully before deciding about a money venture. Tonight: Wind down.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
★★★ You are holding back a lot of strong feelings. How you choose to express them might be important, as you could be causing yourself unusual distress by holding them in. Talks late in the day allow you to reveal some of these emotions. Tonight: Keep smiling.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 19, 2005
★★★★★ If you want something or need to talk through a problem, there will be no stopping that process today. Your smile wins over many friends. You could find an associate to be pushy. Don't get offended. Listen to this person's message. Tonight: Early to bed.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★ You might be hard-pressed to perform to your highest ability. Someone could give you flak, but you need to clear out some important tasks. Don't question your judgment midway
***** You might charge like a Bull
It isn't the right time. Tonight: Work, then join a friend or two.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
***** Push to get more information. The more facts and opinions you receive, the better the choice you can make. Don't worry if a situation seems complex. If you detach yourself, it won't be. Break past normal thought patterns. Tonight: Explore different possibilities.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★★★ You can count on a partner to sort through different options. In fact, you can lie back and just listen. You could be delighted by news or a new perspective. Let go and see what happens. Tonight: Togetherness.
★★★ Others might be too direct for your taste. You don't have to absorb what they say. It might be their perspective or their view. Think through what you hear, but not respond. Why bother? Tonight: Make time for a chat with your best friend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
a whirling devil right now, while others can barely clear out their work or projects. Help by pitching in when you can. Tonight: Slow down, please. Let others catch up to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Your get-up-and-go could
intimidate others. Realize that you are
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
***** You seem to be a fauna of ideas and creativity. Others might seek you out as a result. You might be put off by a difficult or tessely loved one or child. Don't be. Let this person express his or her feelings without personalizing your thoughts. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★ Rather than get into a mini-rumble with a family member, try rearranging the furniture or getting into a home project. At this time of year, be wise and get your heating checked. Be efficient. Tonight: Home is your castle.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★★ You might be more abrupt than you realize. You have a way of saying things or a general impatience that others pick up on. Guard against clumsiness. Please slow down and be careful. Tonight: Laugh with friends.

Reid spurs KU offense
BY RYAN COLAIanni
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Members of the Kansas football team met senior linebacker Nick Reid's comments without anger after Saturday's loss to Oklahoma.
After the game, Reid said he wanted to get in a fight with the Kansas offense because of its struggles.
Members of the Kansas offense, including sophomore tight end Derek Fine, are using the comments for motivational purposes.
"For me, that makes me just want to play harder." Fine said. "That is the kind of attitude that I want to take toward the game. Nick just wants to win; whatever it takes to motivate everyone to play."
Fine has 10 catches on the year for 119 yards. He said he felt bad for the defense, and it would not be necessary for Reid to apologize.
"That's probably the most frustrating part — letting down the defense when they are playing so well," Fine said. "I feel like we really have to pick up the game."
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he had no problem with Reid's comments either.
"It is one thing that we are not producing, but one of the biggest parts for me is that we are not winning, and we are not producing for our defense," Fine said. "They give us good field position. We need to be able to capitalize on that and score."
The Kansas offense had 97 yards of total offense against Oklahoma's 306 yards last week. The Jayhawks have not scored a touchdown in nine quarters.
"He was a little frustrated," Mangino said. "I don't find offense to that. He is not going to do that every week. I think in retrospect he thought about it, and he realizes that
he shouldn't have."
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons said he had never been associated with an offense that struggled to score points in back-to-back weeks.
"This is a first for me. It's something that I have to go through, and I think we are going to be fine on offense," Simmons said.
Mangino named junior cornerback Charles Gordon the team's defensive player of the week. Gordon had two interceptions against Oklahoma. Mangino also named junior running back Jon Cornish special teams player of the week and sophomore tight end Derek Fine offensive player of the week.
Extra Points:
The Big 12 Conference announced that the Oct. 29 game against Missouri would begin at noon. The game will not be televised.

Chuck D raises roof
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Chuck D, a seminal figure in the history of hip-hop and its most respected intellectual, spoke to more than 600 people Wednesday night at the Kansas Union.
He took his typical iconoclastic stance and repeatedly criticized media conglomerates and the state of hin-hon today.
Chuck D particularly took issue with what he saw as the progressive commercialization of culture.
"Culture is about bringing human beings together and sharing similarities," he said. "But when they try to make it financially profitable for major
corporations, it becomes pied-piperism. Once it's designed in the boardroom it becomes a scary thing."
Chuck D also commented on the imbalance of images that represented only one perspective of black people in pop culture.
"The one side of thugism is being pushed to the world," Chuck D said. "Images on BET give the black community a bad rap. The story has not been said about those trying to get their brains up."
Chuck D was born Carlton Ridenhour in Long Island, N.Y. He got his start in music when he attended college at Long Island's Adelphi University. He co-hosted a hip-hop mix show on the campus radio station under the
name Chuckie D and formed the revolutionary hard-core rap group Public Enemy. The crew enjoyed widespread popularity and notoriety in the late 80s as a musical force known for its avant-garde sounds and socially controversial politics.
He was brought to campus by Student Union Activities in honor of KJHK's 30th anniversary.
Jenny Kratz, Lawrence senior and social issues coordinator for SUA, said Chuck D's legacy as a progressive and controversial advocate for file-sharing and radio made him an ideal candidate for the event.
"He was one of the first to put his music online before anyone else," Kratz said. "One of KJHK's major accomplishments
was to broadcast on the Internet live, so he is a fitting speaker for the celebration."
Jessica Gish, Topeka senior, said she was shocked that Chuck D came to campus.
"Politically and lyrically, he's one of the top in the industry." Gish said. "His music is classic."
Laura Watkins, Lenexa senior and KJHK Live Events director, said Chuck D was similar to the station in that both had something to convey to their listeners.
"He is not someone who worries about album sales, but instead, getting out a message on social and racial issues," she said.

The Drinker's Sport
Businesses capitalize on dangerous game
BY JOHN JORDAN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Sink it. drink it.
The rules for beer pong are simple. One team shoots ping pong balls into party cups filled with beer, and the opposing team drinks if the ball goes into the cup. A team wins if it makes the opposing team drink all its cups.
As the drinking game has increased in popularity, students are getting more creative and involved. Businesses are also getting in on the action, selling beer pong sets and accessories. Yet health officials and administrators question the ethics and safety of the marketing of products that could lead to alcohol abuse and health problems.
But the alcohol is what draws students into the game.
Pat Bruin, St. Louis junior, said beer pong is a good way to turn social drinking into a sport.
"It's something to look forward to," Bruin said. "A break in the middle of the week."
The break is a weekly game of beer pong in Bruin and his roommate's beer pong league.
Bruin and his roommate, Brett Lawrence,
started a league of 14 two-person teams that play every Thursday. After seven weeks of
league play, the playoffs begin today.
Beer pong is competitive, fun to watch and provides players plenty of opportunities to rile opponents with trash talk, Lawrence, Lenexa junior, said.
This enthusiasm is bringing businesses into the beer pong game.
Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., sells a kit called "Get bombed" for $18.99. The kit has two racks for arranging the pyramid of cups, three balls, 20 cups and official rules. The company that makes the set also sells T-shirts and hats with "Get bombed" on them.

Donation sends choir singing on three-day, statewide tour
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
John Paul Johnson, director of choral activities, said when the word got out that the chamber choir was going on tour, many people requested a stop.
WICHTIA — Today the KU Chamber Choir ends its threeday, five-stop tour, which was funded by a donation from 1956 alumnus Robert Daugherty.
He said the choir seriously considered 13 requests. It could have gone as far west as Liberal and as far north as Garden City. The choir ended up touring in Pratt, Dodge City, Meade
"We could easily be out two weeks, but they're students with classes to attend." Johnson said.
If you ever have a chance,come visit Mount Oread. There's always a place for you in the choral program. Look at KU,you won't regret it."
"T
and Wichita. The KU Chamber Choir, which as 40 members, is the premiere choral ensemble in the department of music and dance.
Daugherty made an initial donation in 2001 in memory of his late wife Sandra Keller, who he met at the University. The donation allowed graduate choir members to attend a competition in Los Angeles. Keller was a member of the KU Chamber Choir.
John Paul Johnson Director of choral activities
Johnson said he met Daugherty in 2002 when Johnson called him to thank him for the donation, one month after Johnson was hired by the University. Johnson then asked Daugherty if he would be willing to make a donation to fund the tour.
"I told him the cost, he said he'll send a check," Johnson said. "He remembered when the KU Chamber Choir came to Meade High School. He said he would give us the money to fund the tour as long as we sang at his home high school."

new online ticket redemption program will add a digital element to the process.
The Kansas Athletics Department unveiled the program at Wednesday night's Student Senate meeting. Although administrators expect some difficulties, they said they felt that students would be pleased with the new system.
Discussion and planning for the program began a year ago, but it was not ready in time to use last season, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
"This may sound and look complicated," Marchiony said. "But it'll be simple after the first time."
Students can verify their KUIDs in person at the athletics ticket office, located on the west side of Memorial Stadium during construction at the fieldhouse. If a student chooses to validate his KUID online, however, a $1 fee per game is required and is administered at the athletics department Web site. http://www.kuathetics.com.
The new ticket process and fees prompted discussion between student senators, Marchiony and Charlette Stuart, director of ticket operations.
The fees associated with online ticket validation are being passed on to students at cost, Stuart said. She stressed the department was not making money off the fees charged to students.
Stuart said Paciolan, the online ticket company the department was using, charges the cheapest fees. Ticketmaster charged more than $5 for its online tickets, she said. Only students who validate their passes online will pay a fee. The department will pay the fee for students who choose to validate their passes at the ticket office, she said.

What is your favorite beer pong moment?

"One time we made our own beer pong table out of wood and we had a big party where everybody was coming over to play, and so it was three against three. I got really close to the table and, like, threw it, and I fell in and, like, completely broke the entire table. Everybody was making fun of me. Our team won, but I was so embarrassed. I remember that, but I was wasted."

"We covered every window in the house with trash bags and moved his ping pong table out into the garage. His parents are Catholic so he wasn't supposed to be doing this. He got a little wasted doing this, and he actually hit the speed dial on his parents, and they listened to the conversation for probably half an hour and everything he was saying. They let it go that night but called him at 7:30 because they knew he'd be hung-over. They made him get up and work for about eight hours and grounded him for two months."

Officials on alert for bird flu
HEALTH
BY TRAVIS ROINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAAN STAFE WRITER
COUNTRIES AFFECTED
Cases of bird flu are popping up half a world away, but health officials in Kansas are preparing for a possible outbreak here.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said the University and Watkins have participated in the Emergency Preparedness Community Task Force for the last four years. The task force was organized to anticipate a disaster and how the Douglas County community would manage it.
The post-9/11 anthrax scare sparked its creation, she said. Denning said the task force doesn't focus on anything particular but addresses various threats, such as natural disasters, bioterrorism and disease. It includes personnel from Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical, the Lawrence Police Department, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Birds have been infected in Cambodia, China, Indonesia Japan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Romania Russia, Siberia, South Korea, Thailand, Tibet, Turkey and Vietnam. In early 2004, more than 100 million birds died from the avian flu or were killed in an attempt to control it.
The threat of the virus infecting humans has increased with several cases reported since 1997.
The drill is an example of steps being taken locally to prepare for a pandemic.
Myra Strother, staff physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, met with KU personnel yesterday to propose a practice drill in case of an avian flu pandemic.

Denning said she had also been receiving e-mails once or twice a week from Travax, a travel care program that is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Avian flu has been a topic in those e-mails for about a year and a half, she said.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of the Office of Study Abroad, said she was monitoring the CDC Web site and newspapers in an attempt to keep track of information about avian flu. She said that when the virus was transferred from bird to human, the human was often in direct contact with many birds.
"That's pretty unlikely for a study abroad student," she said.
She said the Office of Study Abroad was going to distribute a fact sheet about avian influenza in orientation packets for the students traveling to countries directly affected by the virus. The CDC has not placed any travel bans on those countries.
Denning said a recombination event, or a reassortment of genes, between avian and human influenza had always been perceived as the most difficult
step toward a pandemic
According to an e-mail Denning received, recent studies of the 1918 influenza pandemic showed that a recombination event was not necessary. The 1918 strain appears to have been an avian virus that had about 10 small, spontaneous mutations. New data show that some of the mutations in the 1918 virus are already in H5N1, which is the avian flu virus that is currently circulating.
Denning said drug companies were working on a vaccine to prevent an avian flu pandemic. She said a lot of design, production and testing of the vaccine had to occur and that it would take many months or years to complete.
— Edited by Tricia Masenthin
"The mutation is hard to anticipate, so it's hard to make a vaccine at this time," she said. "This is speculation, but a vaccine designed for production might have an abbreviated testing period to get it to the market as soon as possible. That's based upon similar circumstances with drugs for HIV."
A beautiful ending

Search committee prepares to publicize provost job opening
BY GABY SOUZA

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Advertising is the next step in the search process for the new associate vice provost.
The search committee responsible for hiring the associate vice provost plans to post announcements of the open position in professional publications and on list servers in various university administration publications.
The committee also wants to put advertisements in African-American and Hispanic academic journals.
The search committee revised the job description for the position Tuesday during its first meeting.
The description now needs to
be finalized by Marlesa Roney, vice provo of student success. Electronic paperwork needs to be filed and then the job will be posted online.
The associate vice provost position was formerly known as the dean of students. Richard Johnson held the position until he was fired from the University of Kansas in April.
Roney said that she hoped
the new associate vice provost would be someone who was happy at his current position but was looking for the opportunity for professional advancement.
This person will probably not be someone who is currently looking for a job and will probably hear about the job through a referral from a colleague.
"We are selling people on KU while they are selling us on their
qualifications," Roney said.
The search committee will begin reviewing applications after the job description is posted. It will then begin refining the list of candidates by reviewing applications and conducting phone interviews, Roney said.
The committee will bring selected candidates to campus in February to interview them further. Ann Brill, chairwoman of
the committee and dean of the School of Journalism, said she hopes the committee will make an offer for the position at the end of April.
The committee is made up of 16 members of University faculty, staff and students. Brill said the committee was a good mix of people with diverse opinions.

Final launch for Titan rocket
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — For the 368th and last time, the United States launched a Titan rocket into space Wednesday.
The blastoff of the 16-story, unmanned Titan IV signaled the end of an era that began in 1961, as the U.S. military converts to cheaper space boosters.
The last Titan carried a secret payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, which oversees the nation's spy satellites.
Titan's past included many high-profile missions, including boosting Gemini-manned spacecraft into orbit in the mid-1960s as preparation for the Apollo moon landings.
The workhorse rocket, originally designed as a weaponbearing intercontinental ballistic missile for the Cold War, also sent many scientific craft on their way to Mercury. Mars and the outer planets.
About 3,000 spectators and military dignitaries gathered at Vandenberg Air Force Base, north of Los Angeles, to watch Wednesday's historic launch.
"The Titan has been the backbone of heavy launch for many, many years," said Walt Yager, vice president of the Titan program at Denver-based Lockheed Martin Corp., which developed the rocket.
The rockets have always been expensive and time-consuming to launch. Titan's retirement will make way for a new generation of rockets, including Lockheed Martin's Atlas 5 and Boeing's Delta 4.
Both are designed to be cheaper, more reliable and less dependent on big support staffs.

SPIRIT
HALLOWEEN SUPERSTORE
Spirit Halloween Superstore is using this space in the Hillcrest Shopping Center, 925 Iowa St., as a seasonal location. The store opened Sept. 9 and will do business until Nov. 1.
Store in town for a spell

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Halloween only comes once a year, and so does the Spirit Halloween Superstore.
Terry York, owner of the Lawrence Spirit Halloween Superstore, opens his business only during the Hallowen season. The Lawrence branch of the national chain, which is composed of 337 stores, is a consignment business. This means Spirit Halloween Superstore ships a full stock of merchandise to York but only requires him to pay for the merchandise he sells. After the season is over, York shops leftover items back to warehouses in California and North Carolina at no charge and closes up shop.
This is the second year that Spirit Halloween Superstore, 925 Iowa St., has come to Lawrence. Last year the store moved into a vacant space next to Pizza Shuttle, 1601 W. 23rd St. York also owns a Spirit Halloween Superstore in Topeka. He opened his
Lawrence business Sept. 9 and will close it Nov. 1.
For the other 10 months of the year, York works as an independent contractor. He is a retail consultant for businesses that are opening or closing.
"We just don't have the room and there's just not the demand," Schlosser said.
Kyle Billings, owner of Fun and Games, 816 Massachusetts St., said the presence of Spirit Halloween Superstore hurt business for year-round local stores that supplied Halloween merchandise.
if necessary, he marked down prices on Halloween items to get as much of it out of the store as possible.
York said the business catered primarily to college students and upper-income families. He said both groups tended to have disposable income to spend on Halloween supplies.
A benefit of consignment stores is that they never run short on anything, York said. The company continually ships them merchandise so they are never forced to mark down prices or tell customers they have run out of an item.
"It takes a big hunk of money out of Lawrence every year," Billings said.
Sara White, employee at Party America, 1441 W. 23rd St., said the store sold primarily party supplies but stocked Halloween merchandise during the season. Larry Schlosser, owner of the store, said he stocked Halloween merchandise from July to November but did not want to keep any in-stock during the rest of the year. He said that
Billings said some people understood the concept of keeping money local and tried to shop for Halloween at local stores such as Sarah's Fabrics, 925 Massachusetts St., and Fun and Games. He said the local businesses gave back to the community by providing costumes and supplies yearround and that elementary students and University students used the local businesses to get supplies for theater productions.

Biology teacher enters race
TOPEKA — A pro-evolution leader will run next year for the State Board of Education, hoping to unseat a conservative who favors proposed science standards criticized as promoting creationism.
BY JOHN HANNA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

face GOP opposition. Both are from Olathe.
However, McDonald said Wednesday that evolution would not be the only issue in his race. He said he had notified other Kansas Citizens for Science leaders that he was giving up the group's presidency.
The board's 6-4 conservative majority wants to rewrite the science standards to include language sought by intelligent design advocates reflecting skepticism of evolutionary theory. While the standards
don't mandate how courses are taught, they determine what's on statewide tests.
Because of the debate over
the science standards, evolution was likely to be a kev issue.
"The evolution debate is just a symptom of what's wrong with the State Board of Education," McDonald said during an interview. "My campaign is going to revolve around larger issues."
McDonald plans to kick off his campaign at 9 a.m. Tuesday outside the Johnson County election commissioner's office in Olathe. He is a 57-year-old who retired last year after 32 years teaching science, most of them at Blue Valley High School.

Trial for ex-space center leader opens

WICHITA — The former head of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center who is facing charges of stealing and selling space artifacts is a dreamer who turned the center into a nationally recognized museum, not the schemer portrayed by the prosecution, a defense attorney said Wednesday.
In his opening statement Wednesday morning, defense attorney Lee Thompson told jurors that Max Ary did not intend to cheat, steal or defraud anyone. He was an idea man, not a detail man, Thompson said, adding Ary may have made some mistakes and errors in judgment.

Opening arguments provided the first glimpse into the defense of Ary against 19 federal counts. He is accused of making profits
Thompson told jurors that what Ary accomplished in his 26 years at the Cosmosphere could not be ignored. He turned it from a small-town museum with a budget of $40,000 into space center with a budget of $3.7 million, building a treasure in Hutchinson that now includes exhibits such as the Apollo 13.
Cosmosphere President Jeff Ollenburger — whom Ary groomed as his successor — broke down and cried on the witness stand as he recounted his disbelief upon discovering that Ary had sold museum artifacts and kept the money.
"This was a really hard time, because of my relationship with Mr. Ary," he said. "There was nobody I respected more. He was a tutor and a friend. I just couldn't believe it."

Proposal to raise minimum wage rejected
Senate denies Democrats' wish for $1.10 increase
BY JIM ABRAMS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday defeated a proposal to raise the minimum wage, rejecting arguments by Democrats that the current floor, $5.15 an hour for the past eight years, was perpetuating poverty.
The proposal by Sen. Edward Kennedy to raise the lowest wage by $1.10 over an 18-month period was defeated on a near-partyline vote of 51-47 vote.
The Senate was also voting Wednesday on a Republican alternative that combined the same $1.10 increase with various breaks and exemptions for small businesses. It was expected to lose.
Kennedy, D-Mass., said Hurricane Katrina demonstrated the depth of poverty in the country and he pointed out that a single parent with two children working a minimum wage earns $10,700 a year, $4,500 below the poverty line.
He said it was "absolutely unconscionable" that in the same period that Congress has denied a minimum wage increase, lawmakers have voted themselves seven pay raises worth $28,000.
But Republican opponents, echoing the arguments of business groups, said higher minimum wages can work against the poor if they force small businesses to cut payrolls or go out of business.
"Mandated hikes in the minimum wage do not cure poverty and they clearly do not create jobs," said Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., who offered the Republican alternative.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan, asked Wednesday about Kennedy's measure, said President Bush "believes that we should look at having a reasonable increase in the minimum wage. ... But we need to make sure that, as we do that, that it is not a step that hurts small business or prices people out of the job market."
Enzi's proposal would provide tax and regulatory relief for small business, permit tips to be credited in complying with minimum wage hikes and expand
"Mandated hikes in the minimum wage do not cure poverty and they clearly do not create jobs."
It also would have put into law a "flex-time" system, opposed by organized labor as an assault on overtime pay, under which workers could work more in one week and take time off the next.
the small business exemption from the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Both proposals, amendments
Mike Enzi Wyoming senator
to a fiscal 2006 spending bill,
needed 60 votes to pass.
Kennedy, who has campaigned relentlessly for a minimum wage increase, picked up one vote from the 46 votes for a similar measure in March.
On Tuesday he modified his proposal, which originally called for a $2.15 increase over 26 months, in hopes of attracting more Republicans.
The first minimum wage of 25 cents an hour was enacted under President Roosevelt in 1938. Congress has since voted eight times to increase it, including under Republican presidents Eisenhower, Ford and George H.W. Bush. Congress approved the last increase in 1996, with the second stage, boosting the rate to $5.15, taking effect in 1997.
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have minimum
wages higher than the national level, including Washington State at $7.35, according to the Labor Department. Twenty-six states are the same as the federal level; two — Ohio and Kansas — are below; and six do not have state laws.
Also on Wednesday, Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, proposed adding $3.1 billion to the administration's $2 billion request this year for emergency heating assistance for low income families.
"We're about see a second tidal surge from Katrina and Rita," with rising energy costs, Reed said.
A vote could take place Thursday, with GOP leaders saying an emergency spending bill to be taken up soon was a better venue for the heating assistance debate.

Court orders DeLay to jail for booking Leader will surrender in home county if charged with a felonv Two
DeLay, R-Texas, could be fingerprinted and photographed, although his lawyers had hoped to avoid this step. DeLay will surrender in his home county, near Houston, although his court appearance will be in Austin.
AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas court Wednesday issued a warrant for Rep. Tom DeLay, ordering him to appear at the Fort Bend County jail for booking on state conspiracy and money laundering charges.
The warrant, known as a capias, is "a matter of routine and bond will be posted," said DeLav's lawyer, Dick DeGuerin.
The court set an initial $10,000 bail as a routine step before the Texas Republican's first court appearance Friday.
DeLay has stepped down as U.S. House majority leader — at least temporarily — under a Republican rule requiring him to relinquish the post
Two grand juries have charged DeLay and two political associates in an alleged scheme to violate state election law, by funneling corporate donations to candidates for the Texas Legislature. State law prohibits use of corporate donations to finance state campaigns, although the money can be used for administrative expenses.
The indictments charge that a DeLay-founded Texas political committee sent corporate donations to the Republican National Committee in Washington, and the national party sent funds back to the state for 2002 campaigns.
DeLay has denied wrongdoing and accused Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle — a Democrat — of having partisan motives. Earle has denied the accusation.
The Republican fundraising in 2002 had major political consequences, allowing the GOP to take control of the Texas Legislature. The Legislature then redrew congressional boundaries according to a DeLay-inspired plan, took command of the state's U.S. House delegation and helped the GOP retain its House majority.

HURRICANE WILMA
Marco Ugarte/THE ASSOCIATION
Tourists, residents evacuate
Guests walk through a pile of sandbags at a hotel at Playa del Carmen in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, Wednesday. Hurricane Wilma, one of the most intense storm the Americas have ever seen, blasted Caribbean coastlines on Wednesday and threatened to slam into Cancun and southern Florida.
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras — The fringes of Hurricane Wilma — which rapidly strengthened to one of the Americas' most intense storms ever — lashed Caribbean coastlines Wednesday, forcing tourists to flee and thousands to evacuate as it threatened to slam into Cancun and southern Florida.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
At least 13 deaths have been blamed on the storm this week, including a man who drowned Wednesday while trying to cross a river that overflowed its banks in southern Haiti.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami warned that Wilma — packing 160 mph winds Wednesday afternoon.
The White House, stung by criticism that it had not responded quickly enough to Katrina, promised to stay on top of the situation.
down from 175 mph earlier in the day — would be a "significant threat" to Florida by the weekend in a season that already has seen devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Visitors were ordered out of the Florida Keys as schools closed and thousands of people were evacuated from low-lying areas in a 600-mile swath covering Cuba, Belize, Honduras, Jamaica, Haiti and the Cayman Islands.
"We are closely monitoring what is an extremely dangerous storm," said White House spokesman Scott McCllenan. "People should take this hurri-
be very scary. Floridians braced for the storm by boarding up windows and stocking up on supplies, although forecasters at the hurricane center said the forward motion of the storm appeared to be slowing, which could cause it to eventually weaken.
Tourists packed Cancun's airport even though skies were still partly sunny, looking for flights home or to other resorts. MTV postponed its Video Music Awards Latin America ceremony, originally scheduled for today at a seaside park south of the resort town.
Mark Carara cut his family's vacation short by two days and tried to get on a standby flight home to Colorado Springs, Colo. "You hear it was the biggest storm on record, and yeah, that was the clincher right there," he said. "It was time for us to go."
John Hyndman, a 59-year-old electrician from Ottawa, said his hotel had asked guests to leave. "I think people are more panicked just about what a hur-

"This is one of those cases where we have a tremendous amount of uncertainty," said Mayfield.
WAR IN IRAQ
Former Iraqi dictator acts with defiance
Saddam Hussein appears in court
BY HAMZA HENDAWI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A defiant Saddam Hussein quarreled with judges and scuffed with guards at the opening of his long-awaited trial Wednesday, rejecting the tribunal's right to judge him and insisting he is still the president of Iraq
He wore a suit with a white shirt and no tie.
The trial was broadcast on satellite stations with a 20-minute delay. But technical quality was poor, with the sound cutting out frequently and the picture going blank several times.
Iraqis and much of the Arab world watched glitchy television coverage of the proceedings intently.
If convicted, the 68-year-old Saddam and seven of his regime's henchmen who appeared with him in the hearing could face the death penalty for their role in the 1982 killing of nearly 150 people from the mainly Shiite town of Dujail north of Baghdad after a failed attempt on Saddam's life.
Sitting inside a white pen with metal bars, Saddam appeared gaunt and frail and his salt-and-pepper beard was unkempt as he pleaded innocent to charges of murder, torture, forced expulsions and illegal detentions.
The Iraqi government did not explain the 20-minute delay, but one effect could have been to cut out scenes such as the scuffle, which did not appear on tape.
Reporters at the courtroom struggled to follow the proceedings from behind a bulletproof glass partition.
"Since the fall of the regime, we have been waiting for this trial," said Aqel al-Ubaidi, a resident of Dujail. "The trial won't
bring back those who died, but at least it will help out the fire and anger inside us."
Wednesday's session, held under tight security, was testy from the start, when the judge asked Saddam to take the stand first.
As the courtroom fell silent, Saddam got up from his chair and took the podium, holding a copy of the Quran. He refused to state his name for the record and turned the question back on the presiding judge, Rizgar Mohammed Amin, a Kurd whose identity was revealed to the public only on the day of the trial.
"Who are you? I want to know who you are," Saddam demanded.
"I do not respond to this so-called court, with all due respect to its people, and I retain my constitutional right as the president of Iraq," he said, brushing off Amin's attempts to interrupt him. "Neither do I recognize the body that has designated and authorized you, nor the aggression because all that has been built on false basis is false."
After repeatedly refusing to give his name, Saddam finally sat.
Amin read his name for him, calling him the "former president of Iraq."
dent of Iraq.
"I said I'm the president of Iraq," Saddam snapped back. "I did not say deposed."
Later, Saddam stood, smiling, and exchanged greetings with other defendants during a break in the proceedings. He then asked to step out of the room, but when two guards tried to grab his arms to escort him out, he angrily shook them off.
The guards, wearing blue bulletproof vests, tried to grab him again, and Saddam struggled to free himself. Saddam and the guards shoved each other and yelled for about a minute. In the end, he was allowed to walk independently out of the room, with the two guards behind him.
The three-hour session ended with Amin announcing an adjournment until Nov. 28.

"It was an honor and privilege to arrive to this country 16 years ago with almost no money in my pocket," said Banderas, a native of Spain. "A lot has happened since then."

"I could see the face of a beautiful woman, blond, pensive, with the New York skyline behind her," he said. "On the billboard was written, Melanie Griffith.' Working Girl."
Banderas, 45, recalled a time when he would return to his hotel each night and gaze out the window at a billboard.
Griffith, who received an Oscar nomination for her role in that film, married Banderas in 1996.

You could be a bit more serious-minded than in the past. You will get what you want, but will need to work hard to achieve the results. If you are single, a relationship might be like cement. Think before you leap in. Extracting yourself might be close to impossible. If you are attached, you might carry a lot of the responsibilities of the bond. Gemini helps you think through issues.

Evolution? Creationism? No more monkey business
It seems to me that everywhere you turn nowadays there's nothing but religious talk: on the TV, on the radio, in magazines, newspapers, in coffee shops or even among friends. The other day, I was watching "The Daily Show" with some friends, and Jon Stewart's guests for the top segment were from three branches of religious schools of thought talking about evolution versus creationism/intelligent design versus metaphysical magical appearance of humans and the universe.
Now to me, this is a very serious topic. Creationism and evolution have been at each other's throats for who knows how long, but today it's becoming even more apparent that we need to come to some kind of conclusion.
This is the most absurd debate in the world. Evolution in America is getting treated like Galileo and Copernicus were when they were crucified for their beliefs in the metaphysics and astronomy.
The debate is about teaching the intelligent design or evolution in schools, if children should have the right to learn one idea instead of the other and if there should be a way for people to opt out of the education of either depending on their religious standings.
RACHELLE HEROD
opinion@kansan.com
Funny thing is, without those two, the revelations and advancements made in society, technology medicine and mathematics would not have happened.
Thus, I feel that by depriving students and youth of the education of evolution, we will be putting ourselves back in a time where it is OK to burn people at stake for witchcraft or treason.
Granted, the discussion was for the most part light-hearted (ahem, the crazy metaphysical lady
— hello), but the sections where they were actually debating were a horse of a completely different color.
If you think about it, this debate has been going on for more than
50 years. People have been tried and persecuted for their beliefs for at least that long.
The Scopes Monkeytrial (1925) and Epperson v. Arkansas (168) both fought to combat unjust statutes stating violations of the First and Fourteenth amendments as a matter of separation of church and state and freedom of speech.
I believe there are logical debates and rationales for both sides. How else would you validate the fact; not theory, that humans share 90 percent of our genes with chimpanzees, according to True-Authory.com? Come on. As far as I know, there is no tenet in creationist ideals that make any type of correlation regarding how we are all so closely related.
In fact, I can honestly say that man and ape share a lot of the same characteristics. We both have opposable thumbs, we both have cognitive abilities and the capacity to reason. (If trained, primates can communicate using sign language to represent a host of ideas). We both have the innate sense of group protection, and if you look hard enough, you can

find humans who resemble and act more like primates too.
Ok, so maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but by looking at the social structure of animals we can see a lot of correlations.
In the animal kingdom, there is a definite pecking order (alpha males, beta females, drones, peons, outcasts, etc.) as well as a general definition of societal roles.
alpha male which is in charge of organizing, protecting, overseeing and being judge and jury for the clan. There is also a head (alpha) female which is in charge of caring, birthing, educating, etc. But, they too function together with the lower gorillas as a society.
The silverback gorilla has an
One thing that creationism is missing is the fact that we share so many of the same characteristics with those animals. Think about it. In the States, our alphas are Dubya (right-wing Christian conservative) and Mrs. Laura. I don't see how they could possibly think that we are not part of this primitive structure.
We are essentially the peons being told what to do and following the orders of the alpha, and whoever does not comply with alpha rule is sent out of the society, much like an outcast in the primitive world.
However, the problem today is that we are arguing who is outcast and who is alpha.
Obviously, in the debate on "The Daily Show," the crazy lady with the poor-we-magically-appeared theory is the outcast. I'm
not saying what she believes is wrong, just unfounded without material evidence.
Both evolutionism and creationism have evidence, however skewed it may be. On the other hand, what both sides of the debate have is a theory, plain and simple.
Do I believe one is more well founded than the other? Of course. But, that does not mean that the other can not hold water.
However, since the current political trend is toward an ultrconservative Christian right, what we will see is the mental numbing of society, depraved of scientific fact, fiction or theory.
We need to come to a rational explanation. We don't know what is going on. We should teach both evolution and creation theories to increase awareness and understanding across the board, agreeing to disagree and giving the children the right to decide what to believe with knowledge of both sides.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Clarity on charity requests
I am a native of New Orleans; I read the New Orleans papers that keep tabs on the situation and the slew of demands for more federal aid to the area. I also read The University Daily Kansan and its letters to the editor, rife with disgruntled Kansas tax payers who are fearful of diminishing federal programs and possibly culminating in federal taxes to pay for the reconstruction of my home city.
Since I was about 10 years old, I knew that if a hurricane hit the city directly, this would happen. It was no secret, and it is no secret that Louisiana failed to protect itself adequately. Louisiana needs to pull itself out of its own hole to some degree, but, the federal government and yes, you, the Kansas tax payers, should help us. The Federal government owes us. First, for its late and inadequate response to the hurricane. People lost their lives because the federal government was unable to overcome bureaucracy.
Governor Kathleen Bainaeux Blanco did little to help the federal government rescue the people of Louisiana, but I trust that the directors of FEMA and certainly
George Bush could push her around enough politically to get National Guard troops into the state to do what they should have done: declare martial law.
This, at the very least, would have expedited rescue efforts and slowed the looting. It is merely the social contract.
The people of Louisiana give up rights to the government; one of these is the right to all their money, which they give up by paying taxes. In return, the government agrees to protect the people. Pretty shoddy job of protection, if you ask me. Give us something for not being there when we needed you.
If a tragedy happening someplace where you only go to get drunk and have fun doesn't persuade you to think the government should step in at times like these, then let's bring the tragedy closer to home. Picture 200 tornados raging through Kansas in a single day, destroying hundreds of miles of farm land and killing your friends and family. Your house is gone, your parents' jobs are gone and not coming back, and you have no money and nowhere to live. The state would be as helpless as Louisiana is today, and those of you who want the federal government to keep its hands in its pockets would now be the first ones screaming for help.
If I put my ten bucks in the charity basket when it comes by, would that ease your hunger pains, put a roof over your head and stimulate a job market for your parents? Would you stop asking for help? We are a nation, and while we can't rally around the notion of defeating terrorists this time around, we still must rally around the salvation of our people.
If you don't really want to help, if you want to keep your money, then perhaps New Orleans will keep its port and the goods that come through it. And perhaps southern Louisiana will keep its oil and oil refineries. This notion sounds absurd because it is absurd. Louisiana will find a way to help itself, but it can't do it alone. Give the people of the South a break, or don't ask for favors when you need help.

SOUKING UP
Benefits of keeping the faith
When I came to the University of Kansas, I expected that the best part of being here would be the partying, the drinking and the football games.
I did not expect that, instead of keggers and visits to the Outhouse, I would find myself scheduling things around choir practice and talks with Sister Clara.
It was not until I came to here, of all places, that I understood what Paul meant when he said, "In Him, we live and move and have our being." (Acts 17:28).
It amazes me that stories like mine are in no short supply.
But, it is also amazing no one seems to care about these experiences.
Up until now, if one read The University Daily Kansan, they would think that op-eds such as "Shacking, the Great Escape" or "Slow Your RolePlaying" were somehow indicative of how students lived their lives once freed from their parents.
Of course, also thanks to the Kansan, we all know about how Wayne Simien came to find Jesus.
Wayne Simien provides for a more sensational story, but, still, the overall impression is on this campus anything goes.
Oddly enough, my experience here has been that most students do have some sense of decency and morality, regardless of their occasional failings.
It might seem to be somewhat presumptuous, at first, to assume that these values stem directly from their personal religious experiences.
But, from where else might they have come?

ANDREW SOUKUP opinion@kansan.com
C. N. H.
"I did not expect that, instead of keggers and visits to the Outhouse, I would find myself scheduling things around choir practice..."
They certainly could not have sprung from the secular humanism that has now grown into a philosophy holding that anything goes as long as it's not motivated by some sense of obligation to anyone or anything.
Faith (sometimes faith for faith's sake) is important for so many reasons.
Often, those who do not believe make the argument that religion oppresses individuals.
It leads them to new frontiers.
Rather, faith inspires men to do great things. Religion did not oppress Michelangelo as he painted the Sistine Chapel. Religion did not oppress John Milton as he wrote Paradise Lost. Rather, faith gives men an avenue to fulfill themselves.
It inspires them to do heroic deeds and create works of music, art, sculpture and poetry.
Nihilism has yet to inspire man to build a great monument. No man has ever given
his life in the name of Materialism.
And, for some reason, I doubt that the story of primordial soup will ever supplant Genesis.
Ultimately, faith does not decrease our humanity, but rather increases it.
Even if we are only deluding ourselves, how does it help us to know that our lives are meaningless?
Faith plays on our emotions, our hopes, our fears and our reason the very things that separate us from the apes. ( Of course, I suppose one would have to believe that we are somehow different than apes for that to even be a valid argument).
Believing in something — practically anything — helps us find meaning for our lives.
Even if all my actions are in vain, should that thought somehow make me feel better? I, for one, would rather live in a false dream than a real nightmare.
Luckily, here at the University, we have a tremendous(if often disregarded)wealth of resources to fulfill our lives through faith.
There are no less than 27 different religious organizations registered with the KU Religious Advisors(and God knows how many that are not on the official registry).
With faiths ranging from Bahai'i to Judaism to Orthodox Catholicism, everyone should be able to find a spiritual home at the University.
I found mine at the St. Lawrence Catholic Canipus Center. Where will you find yours?

Beer pong now has a national tournament, the World Series of Beer Pong, being held in January outside of Las Vegas.
Marketing a product that can be dangerous raises ethical problems, said Dennis Rosen, associate professor in the School of Business.
His marketing classes talk about marketing and social issues, such as binge drinking and college students. These marketing decisions are ones his students will be making, he said, but wherever there is demand for a product, there is marketing for it.
The sun sets behind a tree with changing leaves along Route 21 on Wednesday, near Shortsville, N.Y. The first day of Autumn was Sept. 21.
Vally Braski/THE DAILY MESSENGER
"As long as it's legal, they will market it," Rosen said.
But the marketing of drinking games?
Fall's spotlight
"I see them crossing the line when they do that," he said.
Anheuser-Busch recently had a promotion that played off the beer pong craze.
The promotion was called Bud Pong. The company set wholesalers and bars up to participate in the game, but the rules called for water to be in the cups instead of beer to avoid binge drinking.
The Bud Pong promotion was canceled Monday because patrons weren't using water for the game, said Francine Katz, a spokeswoman for Anheuser-
Busch. The company didn't want binge drinking to be associated with the brand.
Vasiliy Beziuk/THE DAILY MESSENGER 01
Drinking games lead to binge drinking and health problems for students, said Bill Smith, public health educator for Watkins Health Center.
Even though a student may not be slurring speech or stumbling, blood alcohol content is the same, Smith said.
While students may think tolerance is a sign of being able to "hold their alcohol," it's actually a way for the body to hide intoxication, Smith said.
Participants are putting too much alcohol in their systems, which can lead to alcohol poisoning and increased tolerance.
But Lawrence and Bruin plan on bringing back their league next semester, and they never turn down a game.
Alcohol tolerance is a sign of developing or having alcoholism. he said.
A survey done by Watkins Health Center and the National College Health Association at the University found that 44 percent of students avoid drinking games.
"The only thing I can suggest is not to plain them," Smith said.
"On any given party, or any night we have people over, beer pong is played," Lawrence said.

Tickets
Stuart also said there will be a transfer program so that students can transfer tickets to one another. The student with the ticket and the student wishing to gain the ticket must both come to the ticket office and complete paperwork. The ticket will be removed from the tinketholder's ID and transferred onto the other student's ID. There is a $2.50 fee for a transfer.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
If students get a new KUID at any point during basketball season, they must go to the ticket office to have their new ID on record with the ticket office. Beginning Nov. 7, the ticket office will scan students' IDs to make sure the magnetic stripe will work on game day.
"Kansas Athletics has made the financial commitment to make this process available to students," Stuart said.
Both Stuart and Marchiony acknowledged they expect to see some difficulties, especially at the beginning of the season.
"There will be problems on game day," Stuart said. "We're going to make the best of the situation."
Stuart said she did not anticipate the new process adding to the time it would take for students to enter the fieldhouse on game day, but she said she
would still monitor the situation and make adjustments as needed.
Stuart said the most common problems found at other schools that use a similar online ticket system were an invalid student ID or an invalid magnetic stripe. The student's ID will be invalid if he does not complete the entire pick-up process. If the game is not sold out, an attempt will be made to let the student in the fieldhouse. The second common problem is an invalid magnetic stripe, which results when it is not on record with the ticket office or the stripe is damaged.
HOW TO VALIDATE TICKETS
Because there are only 4,000 student seats in the fieldhouse.
and more than 8,000 students purchased the combination football and basketball ticket package, a lottery system similar to last year's will be used. Once the first 3,800 tickets have been validated, any other students wishing to attend that game will be placed in a lottery. Students who win tickets in the lottery will be notified via e-mail. If students do not receive tickets in the lottery, they will be issued a voucher to use if student seats are not full.
Marchiony said last season all students with a voucher were allowed into the fieldhouse.
Students must register their account online at the Kansas Athletics Web site, http://www.kuathetics.com, before the first pick-up period. They will register with their student ID number.

Running game hurting Kansas
The last three weeks have been a frustrating time for the Kansas football team.
After falling behind early in its first conference game of the season, Kansas couldn't come back and dropped its opening game to Texas Tech. Since that game Kansas has mustered just six points despite two great performances by the defensive unit.
Kansas has struggled to find a quarterback that can be consistent and as a result has gone through three different quarterbacks.
But way too much has been made of the quarterbacks. Just this week, the talk started spreading to the offensive line. Coaches and players are saying the line needs to do a better job blocking and continuing to improve through the season.
Other fans have been upset with the wide receivers for not getting open. One area that hasn't been talked about is the running game.
That is what Kansas is missing. Both Jon Cornish's and Clark Green's statistics look OK, but when you look at what they have done in conference play, besides one strong performance by Cornish against Texas Tech, the running game has been nonexistent.
Adam Barmann and Brian Luke didn't just forget how to throw a football. Last season, Luke threw for nearly 240 yards against Missouri and led the team to a 31-14 win. In that game Green was able to rush the ball effectively and Missouri had to respect the run. Barmann has also had solid games in the past.
The problem is neither running back is good enough to lead Kansas to a victory.
Green is a solid back, but he has been here for four years, and teams in the conference know how to stop him. Cornish is OK, but there is a reason he hasn't played in his first two years here.
Last year, with John Randle, defenses were kept off-balance and didn't know if Kansas was going to run or pass. Now any time there is a big play, the opposing defense knows Kansas is throwing the ball. When the entire defense knows you're throwing, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is — the opponent is ready for it.
Kansas will struggle for the remainder of the year, because Cornish and Green just aren't the answer. Both could have a good game here or there but not every single week, and that is what you need to be successful.
The Jayhawks could prove this theory wrong and win three of its final six games and qualify for a bowl game, but unless Gayle Sayers comes back in time for Saturday's contest at Colorado, don't count on it.
If you look at the top teams in the country, all of them have solid running backs to go with their quarterbacks.
Kansas could surprise a team this season and win a game it shouldn't,but it won't be a force in the Big 12 this season or any other when it doesn't have an effective run game.

Frustrating finish

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The frustration of the Kansas volleyball team could be summed up in one moment of last night's 3-1 loss to Iowa State at the Horeisi Center.
Junior defensive specialist Jamie Mathewson lay on the court with the ball at her feet after an unsuccessful save attempt in game four. With a face
full of emotion, she put a fist to the ball, sending it flying toward press row.
"We out-hithem, out-blocked them and out-digged them," senior middle blocker Josi Lima said. "We just made a lot of errors we shouldn't have."
Kansas sits in a tie for sixth in the league with Colorado at the halfway point of the season.
Oddly, the box score was in favor of Kansas.
The Jayhawks finished the four-game match with a .156 attack percentage and a school-record 22 blocks, each topping the marks tallied by Iowa State.
The Jayhawks suffered their fourth consecutive loss, dropping them to 12-7 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12 Conference.
Errors were the downfall of the Jayhawks. Serving miscues thwarted any Kansas effort to come back from a 2-0 deficit.

DALLAS — Wednesday was a long day for Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self and seniors Jeff Hawkins and Christian Moody.
After a couple of hours of repetitive questions, the three Jayhawks headed back to Lawrence, where they traded their
Hawkins said he got up at about 6 a.m., put on his suit and tie and boarded the jet, which took off out of Lawrence. Upon arriving at the Harvey Hotel in Dallas, Self, Hawkins and Moody were swamped with questions about last year's early exit from the NCAA tournament, the loss of the graduating seniors and the youth on this year's squad.
The trio boarded a private jet bound for Dallas at 7 a.m. and arrived about 8:30 a.m., just in time for their 9 a.m. scheduled time to address media gathered for the Big 12 Conference's basketball media day.

Self was the first coach to address the media. Texas A&M's Billy Gillespie, Kansas State Jim Wooldridge, Oklahoma State's Sean Sutton, Missouri's Quin Snyder and Texas Tech's Bobby Knight followed. The remaining Big 12 coaches will address the media today.
"There's something about newness. There's something about youthful enthusiasm. There's something about guys not knowing any other way," he said. "I think that makes it easier to coach in a lot of wavs."
Self described his Jayhawks as young, inexperienced and refreshing.
Last year at this time, the question was who was going to join Aaron Miles, J.R. Giddens, Keith Langford and Wayne Simien as the fifth starter for the Jayhawks. These days people are wondering what players are going to be in the rotation.

Longhorns and Red Raiders to face off in Austin Saturday
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORTSWITTER
The Longhorns go into the game with a perfect 6-0 record. The Red Raiders are also undefeated and have their highest ranking in more than a decade.
The marque match-up in the Big 12 Conference this weekend takes place in Austin, Texas, where the No. 2 Texas Longhorns will play host to the No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Junior quarterback Vince Young and freshman running back Jamaal Charles lead the Texas offense.
Charles is averaging more than eight yards per carry this season and has racked up 584 yards rushing for six touchdowns.
Young had another stellar performance last weekend against Colorado, passing for 336 yards and two touchdowns and running for 58 yards and three additional scores.
"Vince Young threw the ball as well as he has in a game in his career." Texas football coach
Mack Brown said
ESPN and several other sports outlets have tapped Young as a Heisman Trophy candidate. This season, Young has compiled 1,357 passing yards and 12 touchdowns while only throwing five interceptions.
Last week, Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for 643 vards and five touchdowns.
"Texas Tech has recruited very well," Brown said. "They don't have a lot of media hype, and their players are much better than people think they are. It's unique when you have to rush a passer 74 to 75 times a game, and it tires out your defense."
Brown said this game would be a very difficult game because of the high-scoring Texas Tech offense. Just a week ago, Texas Tech passed for more than 600 vards against Kansas State.
This season, Hodges has thrown for more than 20 touchdowns and more than 2,000 yards in six games.
Hodges is joined in the backfield by senior running back Taurean Henderson, who set a NCAA record for the most career receptions by a running back last weekend against K-State. Henderson had 10 catches against the Wildcats and has 272 receptions in his career.
Texas Tech's offense is ranked No.1 in scoring offense and total offense in the Big 12.
The Red Raiders defense is also having a strong season. The unit is ranked third in the conference and 18th in the country.
"This is one of our better teams we have had, and we're older on defense with some more experience than we have had," Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach said. "This could shape up as one of our best teams. It remains to be seen as we continue the season."
Texas defeated Texas Tech last season in Lubbock, Texas, 51-21. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. and the game will be televised on ABC.

After winning game three, Kansas could not get a serve in when it needed it most. Six errors, four of which came late in the fourth frame, proved to be too much to overcome. "We shot ourselves in the foot," Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said. Senior outside hitter Paula Caten said the Jayhawks needed to come up with a big serve, which didn't materialize, to boost the morale of the team.
"I think confidence on serving, at least tonight, was a big issue," she said. "We haven't been as good all year as we should." The Cyclones had all the momentum after rolling over the Jayhawks in game one.
They led the entire way, in large part because of their defense. The No. 2 defense in the Big 12 held Kansas to a .056 attack percentage in the first stanza. Despite a 6-0 Kansas run, which featured three straight aces by Caten, the Jayhawks could not draw any closer than one point. The Cyclones won 30-23.
Game two was one of streaks. Kansas had the first one, scoring five straight to take a 19-16 lead. Iowa State later erased that with five in a row on its side of the scoreboard to break a 25-all tie and take firm command of the game. They held on for a 30-27 win.
The Jayhawks avoided the shutout by keeping the Cyclones' offense in-check in the third game. They held the Cyclones to a .000 attack percentage and hit 237 themselves. With half of the conference season still left to play, Lima said the Jayhawks needed to forget about what had transpired over the last week and a half." It's very frustrating, but we need to keep our heads up." Lima said. Kansas will be back in action against Baylor Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Defense key in match-up with Buffs
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas defense will face another high-powered offense this weekend when it travels to Boulder, Colo., to play the Colorado Buffalooes.
Colorado enters the game ranked fifth in the conference in total offense and third in the conference in pass offense under the leadership of quarterback Joel Klatt.
Senior defensive tackle Tim Allen said the key to stopping Colorado's passing game Saturday would be to shut down the run game early.
Allen said that if the Buffalooes struggled to run the ball, it would force them to throw more, playing into the hands of the KU defense.
This season, Kansas has been one of the best in the country in stopping the run. Kansas is
ranked fourth in the country in rush defense and second in the conference, behind Nebraska.
The Jayhawks have allowed less than 70 rushing yards per game and just one rushing touchdown on the season.
Allen said much of that success had to

do with the difference in technique between this year's defensive line and last year's.
"We're getting off the ball a lot quicker, which is forcing a lot of negative plays rushing for the other team," Allen said. "We all have been watching a lot of film and the coaches have been stressing both the positives and negatives. So we know there is
In its first three conference games, Kansas has faced three of the top running backs in the conference.
still room to improve."
The KU defense held Texas Tech running back Tapeur Henderson to under 70 yards. Two weeks ago, against Kansas State, the unit held Thomas Clayton, who came into the game averaging more than 100 yards, to just 13 yards on 16 carries.
Last week, Kansas faced Adrian Peterson, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, and held him to negative four yards on five carries. Peterson was hobbled by an injury and only played sparingly in the first half.
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith has led the defensive line this season. He has totaled 13 tackles for loss and 24 total tackles. At the other defensive end position, senior Jermial
"We know the dline is going to force pressure and tip balls, and we have to capitalize when it happens."
Theo Baines Senior cornerback
Tim Allen said another reason the line was so improved was its newcomers. Junior defensive end Rodney Allen highlights the list after transferring from Garden City Community College. Sophomore defensive lineman Eric Butler and junior defensive lineman Wayne Wilder, both transfers, have also seen significant time on the line.
"The newcomers listen and learn every day," Tim Allen said.
"They knew they didn't know everything when they came in and know it helps them to listen to us, and they have."
Senior cornerback Theo Baines said the line had not only stopped the run, but it had also forced bad decisions by opposing quarterbacks, which leads to interceptions in the secondary.
"We're excited back there in the secondary every play," Baines said. "We know the d-line is going to force pressure and tip balls, and we have to capitalize when that happens."
Baines said getting pressure this weekend against Klatt would be important because of his accuracy as a passer. Baines echoed Allen's thoughts that if the defense could shut down the run, it would force Klatt to throw more than usual.

Yankee coach signs on with the Marlins
BY STEVEN WINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — New York Yankees bench coach Joe Girardi was hired Wednesday as manager of the Florida Marlins, agreeing to a three-year contract.
Girardi, who also interviewed for the Tampa Bay job, spent 15 years as a major league catcher, then went into broadcasting in 2004 and came out of the booth to join the Yankees' staff this season.
He'll be introduced by the Marlins at a news conference today, the team said.
"I am extremely pleased to have Joe in our organization, and I look forward to his input as we start focusing on next year," owner Jeffrey Loria said in a statement. "Joe was known as an intelligent player with great leadership skills, and he will bring those traits to his new position.
"He is the right man to lead our team, and I'm proud that he will start what will be a long, successful managerial career here in South Florida."
Girardi was apparently Loria's first choice from the outset and was the first candidate to interview with the Marlins owner. A follow-up interview took place Oct. 12 in New York with Loria and general manager Larry Beinfest.
"This is an exciting day for the Marlins organization," general manager Larry Beinfest said. "After several discussions with him, it became clear that not only was Joe ready to manage, but he is the right guy to manage the Florida Marlins. Joe has a tremendous reputation throughout the game and I am eager to start working with him."
The 41-year-old Girardi will succeed Jack McKeon, who led the Marlins to the World Series title in 2003 but resigned after the team finished a disappointing 83-79 this year.
Girardi was a member of three World Series championship teams with the Yankees. He caught two no-hitters with the Yankees and also played for the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals before retiring as a player in 2003.
Love of the game
McKeon led the Marlins to three of the four winning seasons in franchise history, but there was a consensus within the organization that a managerial change was in order.

▼ HURRICANE WILMA
Weekend sports schedule up in the air in Florida
BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CORAL GABLES, Fla. Hurricane Wilma is giving Miami and Georgia Tech the weekend off.
With Wilma expected to arrive with potentially devastating force in Florida this weekend, school and Atlantic Coast Conference officials postponed Saturday's game between the Yellow Jackets and sixth-ranked Hurricanes.
No. 20 West Virginia's trip to Tampa to face South Florida also was postponed. The Big East will wait until Thursday to announce when the Mountain-ers and Bulls will play.
Georgia Tech will play at Miami on Nov 19. Miami's scheduled trip to Wake Forest on Nov 17 — a Thursday night game — will now be played on Saturday, Nov 12. ACC spokesman Brian Morrison said no decision had been made on whether the league will shift another game into that Thursday night slot previously held by Miami and Wake Forest.
"There were a lot of elements involved in the game," Dee said. "The players, the coaches, the fans particularly, allowing them to come to the game without the pressure of a storm coming down on us."
Miami athletic director Paul Dee said several scenarios were considered, but none was as practical.
It's the fourth time a hurricane has necessitated a schedule switch of a Miami home game; Hurricane Georges postponed a game with UCLA for more than two months in 1998, Temple's visit in 1999 was pushed back nearly three months by Hurricane Irene; and Florida State's trip south for the 2004 season-opener was delayed nearly a week by Hurricane Frances.
"These things are serious," Miami coach Larry Coker said. "We know that. If we don't know it, we should just reflect back a few weeks to Katrina. It came through here as a Category I and trust me, we don't want to see much more."

Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins were taking a wait-and-
"Nobody in this room, with all of our power and might put together, can have anything to do with where it goes," Dolphins coach Nick Saban said. "What we can try to do is have something to do with preparing for the game and doing our job well and having pride in the performance of what we have to do."
The NHL's Florida Panthers had not made any announcement about Saturday night's game against Ottawa. Team officials said an announcement would be made by noon Thursday.
Wilma was a Category 5 storm Wednesday, the strongest possible grade given to a tropical system. It was expected to hit southwestern Florida, then move quickly across the state and perhaps close to the greater Miami area by early Sunday.
Wilma would be the eighth hurricane to either strike or brush Florida since August 2004.
"That thing looks pretty dangerous to me," Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey said. "It jumped from a tropical storm to Category 5 in about 20 hours. That's a little scary."
The postponement will give both the Hurricanes and Yellow jackets some time to heal.

Coach New players bring 'Hawks high hopes
BY MIRANDA LENNING

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITHER
Going into 2004-2005, the Jayhawks were picked to finish 11th in the Big 12. This year however, with the addition of junior point guard Shaquina Mosley, last year's junior college player of the year, and freshmen Ivana Catic, Jen Orgas, Katie Smith and Marija Zinic, the Big 12 basketball preseason coaches poll picked the Iav Hawks to finish sixth.
Women's basketball head coach Bonnie Henrickson speaks to the crowd during Late Night in the Phog on Friday at Allen Fieldhouse. Henrickson traveled with seniors Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp to Big 12 Media Day Wednesday in Dallas.
DALLAS — The Kansas women's basketball team added five new players to its roster this offseason, one for each position it jumped in the Big 12 preseason ranking.
"I believe it's very positive because players respect the coaches in this league, and the fact that it was voted on by the coaches means a lot to them," Henrickson said. "For our staff, we appreciate the extra vote of confidence that they got."
Those could be high expectations for a team that dropped its last three conference games to finish 5-11 in the conference. But second-year coach Bonnie Henrickson said just the opposite.
The addition of Mosley, or "Shaq" as her teammates call her, might be the most important addition for the Jayhawks. Hendrickson said she brings athleticism, leadership and a fast-paced style of play to the court.
guard runs, the wings run," Henrickson said. "You can see it in practice already, that our pace has improved. She has the opportunity
"She's a point guard who can get numbers, and when the point
to be an awfully good defender."
It also doesn't hurt that they Jayhawks play 21 of their 29 games in Allen Fieldhouse.
Originally, they were supposed to play 19 home games, but, because of Hurricane Katrina, the Jayhawks will play host to a tournament initially scheduled in New Orleans.
Henrickson said that although her team would not get the road experience it might need, other issues were more important.
"It is important right now just for us to learn how to win, be successful, gain some momentum in the program, and we certainly think having the opportunity to play in Allen Fieldhouse as much as we can will enhance our chances," she said.
The Jlayhawks' first 14 games are at home, which senior forward Crystal Kemp said will give the team an opportunity to gain confidence before Big 12 Conference play begins and put it on track for postseason play.
"I definitely think we can make the tournament, especially if we take advantage of all of the home games and get a really good boost on our record before Big 12 play starts, as competitive as it is," Kemp said.
In her second year, Henrickson appears to be improving the team and the attitudes of the players on it. Kemp said she was excited about her second year under coach Henrickson, but mostly she was excited for the season.
"You can definitely tell when we have team meetings and even at Late Night we had more people coming up to us saying they were excited about the season and we are really excited too," Kemp said.

Rookie helps KC Chiefs defense improve
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One big game got Jared Allen noticed. A few more like it, and he might just prove to be the dominating pass rusher the Kansas City Chiefs have been looking for.
The second-year defensive end was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, after recording three sacks and recovering two fumbles — both of which he forced — in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Washington Redskins.
He was the first Chiefs player to force and recover two fumbles and have at least one sack in a game since the late Derrick Thomas did it in 1994.
“This is what I get paid to do,” Allen said. “I get paid to sack the quarterback, and that's
what I was doing, and now I have to go out and do it again Sunday."
Allen's nine sacks last year were the second-most by a rookie in franchise history. He has five in five games this season for the Chiefs (3-2), who are scheduled to play Sunday at Miami, but face the prospect of having the game moved or rescheduled because of Hurricane Wilma, which is expected to hit Florida over the weekend.
"We're preparing as if we're playing Sunday afternoon," coach Dick Vermeil said. "That's all we have the option to do. We're not involved in the decision-making process."
Against the Redskins, Allen sometimes got across the line so quickly that Washington tackle Jon Jansen wondered aloud if Allen was jumping early.
comments, Allen laughed.
“That’s fine,” he said. “We’re going to watch film, and I’m going to find something on them, too. So it’s cool.”
Told Wednesday of Jansen's
Miami coach Nick Saban didn't address that speculation, but noted Allen's ability to penetrate the backfield.
"He was getting off the ball very well," Saban said Wednesday. "I think when you create passing situations, that's what you'd like for your defensive linemen to be able to do."
“It’s up to the refs,” Frerotte said. “It’s a game, and if he’s getting off on the count — or getting off before the ball’s snapped — and he’s not getting a flag, he’s going to keep doing it.” Frerotte said.
And if Allen has found a way to beat the snap count without getting caught, Miami quarterback Gus Frerotte, the Dolphins must be ready for it.
Kansas City has had other promising pass rushers fail to deliver, though, since Thomas' untimely death in 2000 from injuries sustained in the rollover of a sport utility vehicle on an interstate highway.
Vermeil, who briefly moved Jimmy Wilkerson ahead of Allen on the depth chart in training camp, said he wasn't worried about Allen losing focus.
Vonnie Holliday had three sacks in the Chiefs' opener in 2003, and then just two more over the rest of the season, including a first-round playoff loss.
"I think he's got a pretty good value system squared away in regard to his career in football," Vermeli said.
"I don't think you have to worry about him being a fathead or a big-timer. I think he really just loves playing football, and that's part of his profile."

Wal-Mart heiress gives diploma back
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Elizabeth Paige Laurie's name used to be on a sports arena in Missouri. Now it isn't even on a University of Southern California diploma.
Laurie, the granddaughter of Wal-Mart co-founder Wal Walton, has returned her degree, nearly a year after Elena Martinez told ABC's "20/20" that she had written term papers and done assignments for Laurie for 3 1/2 years.
"Paige Laurie voluntarily has surrendered her degree and returned her diploma to the university. She is not a graduate of USC," the school said in a statement dated Sept. 30. "This concludes the university's review of the allegations concerning Ms. Laurie."
USC spokesman James Grant
said Wednesday the university had no further comment. Laurie had been given a bachelor's degree by the USC Annenberg School for Communication in May 2004.
After the homework allegations surfaced last November, the University of Missouri changed the name of what was then Paige Sports Arena. Laurie's billionaire parents, Bill and Nancy Laurie, had received naming rights in exchange for donating $25 million toward the building's construction. Nancy Laurie is Walton's daughter.
A call seeking comment from Bill Laurie at his Paige Sports Entertainment company was not immediately returned. The family has repeatedly declined to comment on the cheating allegation.
Self
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Self said he wasn't looking that far ahead, however. Despite the excitement of starting the season, he said the team needed time to develop.
Self said, ideally, he would like to play with a nine-man rotation, but with 12 players who could contribute to the team, playing only nine could be a challenge.
"I certainly feel like there's a lot of unknowns with our ball club that will certainly, through time, the next two, three weeks kind of become known to us," he said.
The main reason for all of the "unknowns" within this Jayhawks team is the abundance of youth. With four freshmen who could contend for a starting spot, it remains unknown who will emerge from the group. At Late Night the four freshmen combined for 30 of the 78 total points scored.
Hawkins said each one of them had done something to impress, but no one had emerged.
"Julian is an unbelievable athlete," Hawkins said. "I mean he is a high flier, he just plays above the rim. One time he did some 360 dunk that I can't even explain to this day."
Moody recalled that dunk as well.
"It was an incredible," he said. "It was a fast break and Julian just — he went up and I can't remember who he dunked on, but whoever it was will remember it for a long while."
Moody said he was impressed with the overall shooting ability of the freshmen as well.
"All of them can shoot," Moody said. "Brandon has a great dribble, pull-up jumper and Mario and Micah have been real impressive from outside the arc."
Moody said the most exciting part about this year was the element of secrecy. He said he liked the fact that opponents didn't know how good the Jayhawks would be this year.
Say what?
When asked why this year's Missouri team was closer to each other than last year's, Missouri men's basketball coach Quin Snyder spat off some interesting comments. "I will be satisfied if we play our asses off and are unselfish," he said. "I think all of you guys will judge that on our team, and who knows they may can my ass, but you know what, I'll feel good about it. I feel great about what I've done at Missouri."

Texas Tech men's basketball coach Bobby Knight, never a fan of the NCAA, poked fun at the new NCAA rule, which says coaches can work out with their team before the official start of the season.
"Somebody else must have thought that up because I have never seen a rule that the NCAA has made that made as much sense as that one does," Knight said. "It must have been passed from the United Auto Workers Association or the United Mine Workers or somebody because the NCAA is not capable of actually coming up with something that's beneficial to college basketball."

St. Louis gets victory in the final seconds
Blues avoid overtime against Ducks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Doug Weight scored with 56 seconds left in regulation Wednesday night to give the St. Louis Blues a 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
The game appeared headed for overtime when the Mighty Ducks' Teemu Selanne scored a power-play goal at 18:44 to tie the game 2-2. But Weight tipped Eric Brewer's wrist shot from just inside the blue line past Anaheim's Ilya Bryzgalov to give the Blues the lead.
Bryzgalov was playing because starting goalie Jean-Sebastien Gigure had to leave the game with a groin strain at 16:55 of the second period. Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 14 shots. Gigure was 2-2-1 with a 3.13 goals against average and played all but 15 minutes of
Anaheim's first five games.
Dean Mammond and Christian Backman also scored for St. Louis, and Patrick Lalime made 28 saves. Sandis Ozolinsh had the other goal for Anaheim.
The Blues finished 2-3 on their five-game homestand. St. Louis will play in Nashville on Thursday, the Blues' first road game since they opened the season in Detroit on Oct. 5.
Anaheim's Andy McDonald was called for hooking at the two-minute mark of the third period, and the Blues took advantage when McAmmond deflected Eric Weinrich's shot from the point by Bryzgalov at 3:44 to give the Blues their first lead.
Ozolinsh, who had missed the previous two games with the flu, scored 7:56 into the game. With the teams playing 4-on-4, Rob Niedermayer got the puck in the left circle and dropped it to Ozolinsh who beat Lalime with a one-timer from the top of the right circle.
Backman got the equalizer with a power-play goal at 7:05 of the second period when his slap shot from just inside the blue

line made it through a crowd and past Giguere.
Notes — Teemu Selanne, who re-joined Anaheim this offseason after spending time with San Jose and Colorado, played in his 400th game with the Mighty Ducks. Petr Cajanek picked up an assist on McAmmond's goal, giving him seven points in six games. Anaheim's Sergei Fedorov missed his third straight game with a groin strain.

Track. assistant basketball coaches at Barton face charges
NICAA ATHLETICS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The track coach and a former assistant basketball coach at Barton County Community College were indicted Wednesday as part of an investigation into the school's athletic program.
Coaches at the school have been accused of getting athletes grants they were not qualified to receive and campus jobs that paid them for work they did not perform; of helping the athletes with correspondence courses and tests; and of sending false academic credentials to other
schools on the athletes' behalf.
Track coach Lyles Lashley and former assistant basketball coach Shane Hawkins — now an assistant at his alma mater, Southern Illinois University in Carbondale — became the fourth and fifth sports officials from the school to be indicted
during the investigation, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren said.
Both were charged with lying to a federal grand jury. That is the only charge against Hawkins, who served as a Barton County assistant from 1999-2001, according to the Southern Illinois University men's basketball
Lashley is also charged with one count of embezzlement with student assistance pro-

grams, one count of theft from a program receiving federal funds and four counts of mail fraud.
Barton County Community College's interim president, Stephen Maier, was out of town Wednesday. The college had no statement, spokesman Michael Dawes said.

BALCO founder sentenced to prison
Conte: I want to rid sports of steroids
BY DAVID KRAVETS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — BALCO founder Victor Conte and Barry Bonds' personal trainer were sentenced to prison time for their roles in a scheme to provide pro athletes with undetectable banned drugs.
Conte, who started the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative and masterminded the plan, was sentenced to four months in prison and four months' home confinement Tuesday after negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Greg Anderson, Bonds' personal trainer, was sentenced to three months behind bars and three months in home confinement after pleading guilty to money laundering and a steroid distribution charge. Anderson and Bonds have been friends since childhood.
The lab, according to court records, counted dozens of prominent athletes among its clients, including Bonds, New York Yankees slugger Jason Giambi and Olympic track and field star Marion Jones.
"Ive decided to direct my knowledge, experience and determination toward making sports more honorable for the athletes and fans." Conte said.
James Valente, vice president of Burlingame-based BALCO, was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to reduced charges of steroid distribution.
Outside the courthouse, Conte read a statement saying he wanted to rid the sporting world of steroids.
The case prompted pro sports to stiffen steroid policies and thrust performance-enhancing drugs into the spotlight. THG, a steroid uncovered in the investigation, is now banned throughout sports.
Conte pleaded guilty in July to money laundering and a steroid distribution charge; dozens of counts were dropped as part of his plea deal. Anderson and Conte, who remain free on bond, are scheduled to surrender to prison authorities Dec. 1.
Conte pleaded guilty in July to money laundering and a steroid distribution charge; dozens of counts were dropped as part of his plea deal. Anderson and Conte, who remain free on bond, are scheduled to surrender to prison authorities Dec. 1.
U. S. District Judge Susan Illston said she was not thrilled with the plea deals, but accepted them anyway. Illton could have sentenced Conte to a year in prison. She had harsh words for Anderson, who faced a maximum six months confinement. She called his behavior criminally and morally wrong.
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Anderson and his attorney had argued for no prison time.
"I'm sorry for my actions," Anderson told the judge.
U. S. Attorney Kevin Ryan in San Francisco said Tuesday the July plea deals were spurred in part by weak steroid laws and by the fact that some of the chemicals were not banned at the time. He noted, however, that the prosecution's fallout was larger than the case itself.
"This case is bigger at this point than the defendants who were sentenced today." Ryan said. "This case galvanized the debate about steroids."
Ryan added that he would "seriously consider" Conte's help in tracking down illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
Track coach Remi Korchemy, the fourth and final defendant in
Still, authorities are now taking aim at the alleged BALCO suppliers.
the case, is expected to get probation at a later sentencing date.
Last month, the authorities raided a laboratory in Champaign, Ill., headed by Patrick Arnold, who's known for introducing the steroid precursor androstenedione to the U.S. Andro came to public attention in 1998 when St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire said he used it when breaking baseball's home run record. Court records suggest Arnold supplied BALCO with THG, which was known as "the clear."
Ryan declined to comment on the investigation's next stages.
The two dozen or so athletes who appeared before a grand jury here have not been targets of the steroid probe. They have been granted immunity in exchange for their testimony, and authorities said Tuesday the investigation did not target the steroid users.
Texas coach rebuilds with seven freshmen
DALLAS — Rebuilding her team with seven freshmen, Texas coach Jody Conradt said her coaching will decide whether her Longhorns are successful.
Then she paused.
"That's a joke," she said.
Conradt wasn't trying to make light of a presumably bad situation. To the contrary, Conradt enters her 30th season at Texas believing her team can still contend despite losing six seniors whose tenure included a Final Four appearance, two trips to the round of 16 and a No. 1 ranking.
They were the seniors who brought Texas back. Now it's up to the new freshmen class to keep the Longhorns there.
"If you don't have freshmen who can change the dynamics of your team, then you're standing still." Conradt said.
Conradt's peers apparently think her team can still win, too. The Longhorns are ranked second in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll.

Astros bring Houston first NL pennant
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — On this wild night of celebration, the Houston Astros owed it all to Roy Oswalt.
He took their dreams, hopes and gritty resolve and pitched his teammates into their first World Series, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday night with help from Craig Biggio.
Coming off a crushing loss in Game 5 of the NL championship series at home on Albert Pujols' stunning homer, the stubborn Astros refused to be shaken. They jumped to an early lead behind Biggio and Jason Lane, got perhaps a little help from the umpires and watched Oswalt shut down St. Louis for seven innings in earning the series MVP award.
Now that this wild-card team has its first NL pennant, the Astros will travel to Chicago to take on the AL champion White Sox in the World Series, which begins Saturday night.
Cameras flashed all over Busch Stadium as Dan Wheeler got Yadier Molina on a flyball for the final out.

For St. Louis, the loss marked the end of the season for the team that led the majors with 100 wins. It also was the final game at Busch, scheduled for demolition to make room for the city's new ballpark.
Roger Clemens did his part, Andy Pettitte did, too — and Astros stalwarts Biggio and Jeff Bagwell finally fulfilled their delicious dream of winning a pennant together.
So while the Fall Classic is headed to the Windy City for the first time since 1959, Texas will get its first crack ever. Folks in the Lone Star State like things big, and it doesn't get any bigger than this in baseball.
Get ready for "Deep in the Heart of Texas" during the seventh-inning stretch.
In baseball-mad St. Louis, the Busch era ended in bitter disappointment.
Swept by Boston in the 2004 World Series and determined to avenge that defeat, the Cardinals were unable to capture a second consecutive pennant.
St. Louis is still waiting for its first World Series championship since 1982.
Born in 1962 as the Colt.45s, the Astros didn't make the playoffs until 1980 and didn't win a postseason series until last year.
Nolan Ryan, J.R. Richard and Mike Scott highlighted some stingy pitching staffs the called the mammoth Astrodome home, but they couldn't carry Houston to a pennant.
Not until Pettite and Clemens came home to join Oswalt in a stellar rotation did the Astros set over the hump.
Winning pitcher finds himself in spotlight
And on the night it clinched the NLCS, Houston didn't even need to use Brad Lidge, the All-Star closer who gave up Pujols' two-out homer in the ninth inning Monday night that sent the series back to St. Louis.
BY STEPHEN HAWKINS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUISE — Call him Roy Wonder, the 20-game winner in the same rotation with Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte — and the one who finally pitched the Houston Astros into the World Series.
While Roy Oswalt usually prefers to be out of the spotlight, he is the toast of Houston — and the MVP of the NL championship series — after allowing one run in seven innings Wednesday night in a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals that sent the Astros to the first World Series in their 44-season history.
high 118 pitches for strikes, and allowed just three hits in the Game 6 clincher.
Clemens and Pettitte are going to the World Series again, the former New York Yankees going this time with their hometown team. With Oswalt wrapping up the NLCS, they will pitch the first two World Series games on the road against the Chicago White Sox this weekend.
Oswalt threw 77 of his season-
And Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell, teammates in Houston for 15 seasons, finally made it to the World Series for the first time.
The Astros missed a chance to clinch the NL pennant at home Monday night when Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer with two
outs in the ninth inning off closer Brad Lidge to give the Cardinals a 5-4 victory.
So they celebrated instead after the last game at Busch Stadium, which is four seasons younger than the Astros franchise and will be demolished in the next few weeks to make way for a new stadium.
Oswalt is 4-0 in seven career playoff starts, including Game 5 of the NL division series in Atlanta last October when he won to give the Astros their first postseason series victory ever.
Houston also played the Cardinals in the NLCS last year, returning to St. Louis with a 3-2 lead. The Astros dropped the last two
games, losing Game 7 after Clemens gave up a two-run lead.
Oswalt, who also beat the Cardinals in Game 2 of this series, made sure they didn't have to worry about a Game 7 this year in St. Louis.
The Cardinals didn't get a hit until the fifth inning off Oswalt, when Yadier Molina singled before being out at second base on a disputed call.
After Oswalt scrambled to get Abraham Nunez's comebacker, he threw wildly to second, and shortstop Adam Everett caught the ball, making a sweeping tag at Molina. Umpire Greg Gibson called him out, though replays appeared to show Everett missed the tag.

▼ HURRICANE KATRINA
Producer dissatisfied with network benefits
BY DAVID BAUDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Besides the "Shelter From the Storm" benefit shown on the six biggest broadcast networks and several cable networks Sept. 9, there were separate benefits run by NBC, BET, the MTV Networks, Madison Square Garden and CNN.
The networks (with the exception of CNN, which had no immediate count) said they raised an estimated $94.9 million for various Katrina charities. One of their prime beneficiaries was the American Red Cross, which said that $65 million of the $1.2 billion the organization raised after Katrina could be attributed to the televised appeal.
NEW YORK — While nearly $100 million was raised through televised benefits for Hurricane Katrina victims, the producer of the most prominent event believes more could have been done if networks had worked together.
That stood in contrast to the $150 million raised by the single multineetwork event, "America: A Tribute to Heroes," that aired after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
joel Gallen, who produced the 2001 tribute, was asked to pull together "Shelter From the Storm" this time. This year's event was seen on fewer networks, lasted one hour instead of two and raised one-fifth of what the 2001 tribute did.
"Certainly if somebody had asked me how I would have done it, I would have chosen to do it the way we had done it four years ago," he said.
Gallen said that was disappointing and attributed it to the
failure to work together.
The Matt Lauer-hosted NBC telethon on Sept. 2, which also aired on CNBC, MSNBC and Pax, was best known for rapper Kanye West's remark that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." But since it was rapidly put together less than a week after the storm hit, the $40.6 million it raised for the Red Cross was more than any other single televised event.
CNN's Larry King anchored a three-hour special that same night on CNN, which interspersed appeals for various charities with performances by Eric Clapton, Celine Dion and others.
Sept. 2 was also the Red Cross' single biggest day of donations, said Sarah Marchetti, a Red Cross spokeswoman.
The following weekend was clogged with events, some in direct competition: BET did its own telethon at the same time "Shelter" was on the air. Gallen said he originally thought BET would break to simulcast his concert, but it didn't.
"The sooner you do a telethon after the actual event, the more money you're going to raise," she said.
"We probably lost some viewers who wanted to go check it out," said Debra Lee, BET president. "It was only an hour and it was really
targeted to a different audience."
BET's feeling was that "the more (benefits), the merrier," she said. BET, which said it raised $13 million in pledges to various charities including network founder Robert Johnson's $1 million donation to the Red Cross, was interested in its own event because Katrina hit the Gulf Coast's black community particularly hard, she said.
MTV Networks tried to reach a younger audience for its Sept. 10 event that raised $2.3 million. For the most part, the networks did completely different shows, although there was some crossover. Alicia Keys sang on the BET event after doing "Shelter."
Concerts held on Sept. 20 at New York's Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall were televised on pay per view and raised $9 million for various charities, organizers said.
The understated format that Gallen pioneered in 2001, with somber performances interspersed with celebrity appeals, risked rapidly becoming a cliche four years later. Gallen said that was his fear when he saw all the other events.
Congress, meanwhile, has provided $62 billion in emergency relief, and Louisiana lawmakers have proposed another $250 billion in federal outlays.
"I do believe that a lesson was learned here," he said. "I hope that if, God forbid, we do this again, everyone will work together for a common vision."
Madeleine Albright to guest star on WB
NEWYORK — Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will make a guest appearance on the Oct. 25 episode of the WB's "Gilmore Girls."
"I am a big fan of 'Gilmore Girls' and I had a great time," Albright said in a statement. "It was an opportunity to do something different for a quick minute, and I learned how hard it is to memorize those lines."
Albright, secretary of state under President Clinton, filmed a scene with Alexis Bledel, who plays Rory Gilmore. The episode involves the ongoing estrangement between Rory and her mother, played by Lauren Graham.

Stars take on different parenting approaches
NEWYORK — While Madonna doesn't let her children watch television, Courteney Cox takes a different approach
"I like TV" Cox told "Access Hollywood" in an interview that was to air Tuesday. "It all depends what it is."
When asked how she keeps her 16-month-old daughter, Coco, grounded, the 41-year-old actress laughed and responded, "The Wiggles," the popular Australian children's program.
Madonna told Newsweek she doesn't let her children, 9-year-old Lourdes and 5-year-old Rocco, watch TV or look at magazines.

It's pop but it's also rock with a little bit of synthesizer. "Our sound has been called indie space rock," says Jaime Netzer (singer). Their influences come from bands such as Smashing Pumpkins, The Flaming Lips and Air. Whatever you categorize it as, one thing's for sure: it's definitely danceable. The group includes
two singers (Jaime and Jon) a drummer (Alex), guitarist (Paul) and cellist and keyboardist (Robert). Jaime and Robert are KU juniors.The group formed two years ago but they've known each other since high school. They'll be at the Granada, in all their indie space-rock glory.

Pulling from a number of different bands including Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Maha Vishnu Orchestra, Chickeria, Return Forever and Tower of Power, Groovelight's sound is eclectic and groovy. Formed two years ago by drummer Steven Gunn, "Gunar," Groovelight's must-hear sound dons an electric guitarist (Mathew DeViney), a
bass guitarist (Nathan Riggs), a tenor saxophonist (ThomasTurner) and, of course, a drummer (Gunar). They played at the Wakarusa Music Festival this summer, and with titled songs such as "Breakfast Club (Where My Eggs At?)" and "Microwave Weddings." You'll want to be sure to check these guys out Wednesday night.

Just put me on KU's tab
A week of investigative journalism in the name of hunger
Kit Leffler/Jayplay photographer
By Natalie Johnson, Jayplay writer
Few things attract a crowd like free food. At least, that's the theory of hosts of college events, who try to lure a perpetually broke and hungry demographic with pizza, cookies and soda.
After another week of being too poor to buy pizza, cookies, soda, or anything else, I decided to live for a week exclusively on the vittles offered by KU's fine events and organizations.
The rules
2. I can drink whatever.
1. I can only eat that which is free and provided by, paid for, or on the campus of the University of Kansas.
3. I can't toe the line with Jell-O or milk shakes.
4. The experiment lasts a work week: 8 a.m. Monday to 5 p.m. Friday.
The highlights
Sunday, 7:30 p.m.
My Last Supper is at Ten at the Eldridge. I meet some friends for a nice leisurely meal. I have the Portobello "Oscar" style. No appetizer, but I have whiskey.
Monday, 9:21 a.m.
I duck into the St. Lawrence Catholic Center food pantry. I am greeted with half a bag of coconut shavings, a large can of cream of mushroom soup and ramen noodles. Ramen is my breakfast.
Troy Hinkel, director of theological education in St. Lawrence Catholic Center, says they offer two or three free food events per month, and that the students' pantry is always available. Hinkel says the pantry operates
on the honor system, with donations from members of the community and the hope that only students in need will take the food.
2:25 p.m.
I find out there are free donuts and juice in Stauffer-Flint Hall's Reading Room, leftover treats from a guest hosted by the School of Journalism. I rush to Stauffer-Flint. Grab a donut. Hesitate. Grab another.
6:05 p.m.
I eat pizza at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center following a speech about Notre Dame's law school. I stagger home, feeling ill.
9:35 p.m.
A cup of chai doesn't fill me up.
Tuesday, 9:30 a.m.
I meet Melissa Feeney, Wichita freshman, at her dorm and use one of her free passes for breakfast. I stuff myself.
Everyone with a meal plan gets free meals on their account, says Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director for KU Memorial Unions. The largest plan (500 meals) includes eight free meals and the smallest (100 meals) has two free meals. Kidwell says 90 percent of the free meals were redeemed in the 2005 spring semester.
I meet a friend at her sorority and pillage the kitchen, devouring leftovers and Baked Lays.
4:10 p.m.
Wednesday, 8:27 a.m.
I have the St. Lawrence ramen. 2:15 p.m.
department was offering free hot dogs a couple hours ago. I die a little inside.
Lunch is cherry coke. I am told some
Famished, I visit the blood drive in the Student Recreational Center. Anemia prevents me from donating but not from begging.
Leann Delong, donor recruiter for the Community Blood Center, says the Center has a blood drive each semester at the University. She says the Center usually offers cookies and juice, and that occasionally pizza is donated as well. She is a goldmine food source, inviting me to take whatever food I want and giving me a bag with food coupons.
I sit down to the best meal of the week: the "faith forum" dinner in Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. It is a hot meal, prepared in a real kitchen. They ask for a $3 donation but Thad Holcombe, campus minister, assures me it's alright if I don't pay. No one seems to mind that I'm there for the free food.
4:10 p.m.
6 p.m.
Holcombe says anyone is invited to the weekly forum for a meal and to talk about "progressive Christianity." He says they have a core group, about 20 people, who show up every week.
Thursday, 11 a.m.
Veggie lunch at ECM. The place is packed.
3 p.m.
3 p.m. Tea Time in the Kansas Union. I go through the line three times so I can get more cookies.
Student Union Activities sponsors the weekly Tea Time, says Michelle Rissky, who works in public relations for SUA.The funds are awarded from student senate.
4:12 p.m.
I ecstatically redeem a coupon for a free 6-inch Yellow Sub sandwich.
11:25 p.m.
I am hungry. My roommate Annie prances around me, commenting on what a terrific snack celery and peanut butter is. I glare, sipping on chai.
I feast on margaritas and fajita salad at El Mezcal.
I am too exhausted to redeem a free taco coupon, or to sneak into a faculty-and-staff hors d'oeuvres social in the Alumni Center.
7 p.m.
It's not a healthy way to go, it's not a reliable way to go, and it's not a comfortable way to go. I wouldn't recommend it. But you could subsist almost exclusively on free food, if your wallet so demands.
Friday, 8:30 a.m.
Just keep your eyes on the sidewalk ads and your schedule book open, and let the University take care of the rest.
2 p.m.
St. Lawrence's ramen.
I steal Annie's Dr. Pepper.
3:30 p.m.

Thai-Siam
THAI-CHINESE FOOD
If popular downtown Thai joints are leaving your wallet a little lighter than you'd like, check out Thai Siam, 601 Kasold Drive, for your Pad Thai fix. The family-owned restaurant boasts 100 traditional Thai and Chinese dishes, including appetizers, soups, salads, curry dishes, noodles, rice, pork, beef and chicken. Entrees cost $6 to $10 each. The most popular are the curry dishes and Pad Thai. Each dish is made-to-order as spicy as you like, right in front of you with fresh ingredients.
Costumed Thai figurines, Buddhas and framed pictures give the restaurant an exotic atmosphere. If it weren't for the bright yellow booths, you'd never know it used to be a Subway restaurant. Meals are served on blue-flowered china with silverware, which erases any notion of fast food. The next time you crave spicy noodles get them at a at a decent price, head over to Thai Siam.

Can't stop thinking about
ninjas pirates
The new mutant ninja and the pirates who hate them.
By Kathryn Anderson, Jayplay writer
Until recently, I was under the impression that pirates and ninjas were figments of the past, only good for a crappy Halloween costume. I could not have been more wrong.
While wasting time looking at weird groups on Facebook, I noticed a pattern. I found: Ninjas or Pirates?, Pirates Only, Ninjas and Pirates Do Not Get Along, Pirates Forever, Pirates that Fuck Ninjas and I Love Ninjas with All of My Body (Including My Pee Pee), to name a few.
including My Pee Pee, so to say.
Who wouldn't be curious? So for the sake of my own nerdiness and to the benefit of your random curiosities, I did some research.
Thanks to a couple of Web sites, ninja and pirates have reclaimed their rank as the "It Boys" of pop culture.
David Warren, who looks like a normal guy, says he's definitely a ninja. The red-headed Wichita senior has little knowledge of ninjutsu and certainly is not Japanese. This obsession has little to dc with truth and a lot to do with Mortal Kombat-influenced violence and a loathing of the pirate. He says his obsession came from the site, www.real-

ultimatepower.net, a tribute to a little boy's ninja fantasy. The creator of the site calls himself Robert Hamburger and exercises a vocabulary that would make Napoleon Dynamite jealous.
REAL Ultimate Power is an encyclopedia of fabricated ninja information. According to Hamburger's site, there are three pertinent facts everybody must know about ninja: "Ninjas are mammals, ninjs fight ALL the time, the purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people."
Hamburger encourages his fans to submit "Ninja Sightings," inviting countless staged photographs of drunk college students in ninja garb "flipping out," (a ninja's favorite activity). In one photo, two ninjas climb a palm tree. In another, a fan proudly displays the REAL Ultimate Power logo, which is tattoed on his arm. Hamburger scores the submissions from one to 10, and even offered a $5 scholarship for the most badass ninja sighting.
In July 2004, Citadel published REAL Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book by the infamous Robert Hamburger. Based on www.amazon.com customer reviews, the book earned four-and-a-
Hamburger's ninja can fly, stick to walls and expertly handle a sword. They're not always cruel, according to

the site. But if you say you're a pirate, watch out. You are a ninja's enemy.
Pirate Cameron Cooke, Overland Park senior, isn't scared of any ninja. "They get throwing stars. I mean, yeah, they're cool and all, But I'm not buying it. They don't beat a
gun blast to the face of a nice cannonball right at you," he says.
Talk like a pirate
Cooke likes pirate names (he mentions Black Beard or Bearded Pete) and prefers frilly hats and a peg leg to a ninja's black pajamas. Cooke's not alone.
Ouzounian, who created the site and goes by "Maddox," says little about pirates on the site, but identifies himself as one. Using Microsoft Paint to illustrate social commentary, his self-likeness is always identifiable by an eyepatch. Ouzounian is currently writing a

book, based on the site's content.
Cooke says pirates throw better parties, adding that he attended a pirate party recently. He says people wore pirate garb and enjoyed the booty. For more pirate information, check out the aforementioned
Facebook groups.
There's really no specific reason ninjas and pirates are enemies, it's just the way it is. So pirates get to have cool names and say "booty." But ninjas get pumped and stick to walls.
"I have a pirate tattoo on my shoulder;" one facebooker says."I don't have a ninja tattoo.I rest my case."

Information
You might get more than what you want
By Meghan Miller, Jayplay writer
Good old Mark Zuckerberg. For those of you who don't know who he is, Zuckerberg is the creator of Facebook. Zuckerberg designed Facebook when he was a student at Harvard in the winter of 2004. Originally intended for students at Harvard, he created a universal, online database. Zuckerberg wanted a site where people could get together and gather more than the standard, biographical information. And when more than 6,000 students signed up in the first three weeks, Zuckerberg saw no reason not to share his new online craze with other schools.
Facebook, Facebook everywhere
There are so many different ways to use Facebook. Chris Hughes, Facebook spokesman, says that versatility is the main attraction for users. Facebook allows you to post information such as general interests and class schedules. This allows you to contact people that you have something in common with. Hughes says that because Facebook is a reference tool, a means for communication and a clean, fun site to use, people will continue to come back to it daily.The Facebook team uses an Internet tracking service called ComScore to keep track of how many people use it.Hughes says more than 8 million users come to the site each month.About 60 percent of Facebook users log in every day and the Web site has almost 200 million page views in any given 24-hour time period.Hughes also says that Facebook currently has more than 25,000 new users sign up for the site daily.
Don't poke me there
Using Facebook is a fun way to waste a few extra minutes before class or to match a face with a name, but there are some dangers to watch for. Because there are so many slots to reveal personal information and anyone with a Facebook account can view your page, you have to be selective with what you put on your page. You have to be ready to deal with any problems that arise from releasing your information.
Allison Fine, Leawood graduate student, is a member of the Facebook group Stalkers United. Fine says the group was created mainly as a joke among her and her friends. She says they were amazed they were actually able to create a group about stalkers. Fine says it would be easy to stalk a person through Facebook. That's because Facebook allows for you to supply your phone number and address. Fine says she knows as a female she has to be especially careful about what information she puts on her profile because there is the possibility for someone to use that information to stalk her. Kristine Zucht, Lenexa graduate, also says using Facebook does not come without consequences, especially if not carefully used. Zucht says that some people put too much personal information on their profiles and that it is really dangerous to post phone numbers and addresses.

I'm in a relationship, but a lot of my single friends complain to me about being single and how much it sucks and how they don't feel whole. I usually just tell them "your time will come." Is that rude?
-Shannon, Freshman
Brian: You're in a very tough spot Shannon. Remind yourself that sometimes the truth hurts. There is some reason why your friends are still single, whether it's that they completely distrust men or that they are too shy to ever talk to a
guy. What you are doing at least gives them a little glimpse of hope. Something I've noticed throughout relationships, is they are completely dependant upon two things: a person's self-esteem and a person's drive to succeed. Your girls telling you that they don't feel whole without a boyfriend is a sign that they aren't completely satisfied with themselves. Let them know that you refused to get into anything with your current beau until you were completely sure of yourself. It might drive them to fall in love with themselves. Also be sure you don't neglect them. As much as you love your boyfriend, your friends are in a much more fragile state than your relationship. Show them how good they are and soon you'll be doing double dates at the movies.
Jessica: You know how it feels when you have a wound and you accidentally place the band-aid over it so that the adhesive sticks and when it comes time to rip the mother-trucker off you feel excruciating pain? Yeah, that's what you just did to your inferior little single friends. I think it's careless because that line elevates you simply because you have someone and your life is somehow more "complete" than theirs. Why not say something like, "being in a relationship isn't the cure-all to life's ills. It takes a lot of maturity, self-disclosure and love to make it work. I think you're complete right now as is, and when he/she comes along, you're still going to be just as complete." There. That doesn't burn so much - not like the herpes.

I cannot get off from intercourse and my boyfriend thinks it's his fault. I tell him it's not his fault, so then I feel like there's something wrong with me. How do we work this out? I can have orgasms other ways, just not from sex. Chelsie, Junior
Jessica: Mmm. Gotta love that machismo complex, eh? So many guys have a problem with "getting the job done." They've been socialized to feel like they are these sexual pros who always complete the task at hand. Imagine that pressure? Poor guys. You need to set the record straight with your boyfriend by telling him that he is not actually "giving you an orgasm." He is merely a facilitator in the event of you giving
yourself an orgasm, because let's face it, you could get 'er done yourself. Also, clue him into the fact that most women (70%) don't get off from intercourse. This does not mean there is something wrong with you or any of these women. Unfortunately, the way our parts fit together doesn't exactly lend to easy o's for the ladies. Hopefully these tidbits take some of the pressure off both of you.
Brian: For guys, getting a girl to orgasm is like building an entire house with no help and no instructions. Considering there are so many intricate jobs to do, it's too easy to worry about one part too much and neglect something else. And, as much as we might not show it, we guys are sensitive creatures...for the most part. We know that just as much as we like to be satisfied, girls like to be satisfied as well. So when we can't do our job, it's discouraging. Make sure your boy toy knows that he isn't doing anything wrong. Just keep on working until you find the right activity to bring you to O-town. Consider adding some toys to playtime and research positions to give you better satisfaction. Maybe a change of routine will take your love life a step further.

I realized I was gay three years ago and have been too afraid to come out to my parents. I've finally gotten the will to do it, but I'm afraid they will disown me. How should I approach them?
Theodore, Sophomore
Jessica: It's a matter of risk-taking. Imagine your life five years from now having told them. Think of all the possible scenarios within that five-year period after telling them. Now imagine not having told them. How are things different? Is it worth it to you? Will they really disown you or just snub you initially? I can't tell you what to do in this situation, but I can try to steer you in the right direction. Good luck.

Brian: I agree with Jessica. We can't tell you what to do, but hopefully we can steer you in the right direction. Another thing to consider is your relationship with your parents. If you are close to them, but just afraid to come out to them, they deserve to know. You should also consider the strength of the relationship you have with your parents. Only you know how your parents will react. This is your decision. I wish you well.

How we met
Mike Elliot and Jennifer Houghton
The quickest way to a woman's heart is by serenading them. It may be an old practice that you see in old romance movies and teen love movies but it still works today. Mike Elliot, Great Bend freshman is a member of Delta Upsilon and was outside the Alpha Chi Omega with the rest of his frat brothers singing to the girls. That's when Jennifer Houghton, Overland Park freshman
first saw him. Out of all the guys in the crowd she was taken by him. Later, Mike asked Jennifer to the Yell In, the Delta Upsilon's big party, and she accepted and "That it was" says Elliot. After that they went out for dinners and movies. They have been together for a week. Apparently the singing was THAT good.

Dance Dance Revolution takes over the world one coordinated, techno- over at a time
By Lindsey Ramsey, Jayplay writes.
Mallory Smith is ready to show me how it's done. She takes a deep breath, hops on top of the platform and selects a song. The screen flashes and the Paola freshman is off. Left, Up, Left, Down. The directions fly out of the machine in breakneck speed. The lights begin to flash as her foot hits the up arrow. Forty-five seconds in, she's already breaking a sweat, her Jayhawk sweat pants start to cling to her dancing legs. She bounces hard, making sure each of her steps count. The song ends and she looks at her score in disgust. I am amazed because (to me) what she did looked phenomenal, but she knows she can do better. She wipes her brow and is ready to DDR again.
They're doing it in dorms. In public. Anywhere they can get it. They are sweaty and rhythmically pounding. They are taking over the Internet and living rooms nationwide. Yes, Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) freaks do it better, faster, longer and to cheesier techno then any other gamers out there. What's more is their game may be helping them in a way that no other standard video game can: by helping them lose weight. The DDR craze has hit full swing and Lawrence is right in the thick of it.
DD what?
This craze that is sweeping the globe, and probably is available in a bowling alley near you, is a game that centers on dancing to instructions given by four arrows: Up, Down, Left and Right. You press each panel with your feet following the arrows on the screen. The arrows are synchronized to the beat of a song; your ability to match the steps on the screen with the steps on the panels determines your success. You select a song and the dancing begins.
("I love) the physicality of it, the immense concentration it requires and the ridiculous techno. But the best part is kicking ass," Brianna Matzke, Buffalo, Minn., freshman and DDR fanatic, says.
Arcade machines consist of a platform with arrow panels and a cabinet that houses the monitor and "guts" of the game. This cabinet is completed by flashing lights that, when partnered with the thumping techno, create a rave/dance club feel. Some arcade machines allow for competitions between players while others concentrate on solo play. Scoring depends on how well the player is able to match the steps in time with the music. The most recent versions of DDR have four levels of difficulty: Beginner, Light, Standard and Heavy. When players miss a step, the "dance gauge" is depleted, resulting in a lower final score. The machine gives letter grades that go from E (fail) to AAA (perfect). If a player's score is good,
he is given the chance to progress to another song, usually three to five songs per game. Cynan de Leon, vice president of marketing for www.ddrfreak.com says it's the arcade machines that get people hooked.
"The music, the lights, the sheer size and loudness of the machine. I mean, the machine is huge, compared to a fighting game arcade machine. Lights are blinking everywhere and speakers are blasting. It's nuts. If you're lucky you'll hear songs that sound like remakes of Madonna or Queen, or some weird techno song. When you pass by an arcade, and you hear music like that, you want to know where the heck that music is coming from," de Leon says. "For people who haven't played before, it's possibly the craziest thing they've ever seen."
Jason Gibson straightens his dance pad and centers himself in front of his house's plasma TV. Using his feet to make his selection, the Talmage senior begins to dance. His dance pad slides along the wooden floor, but Gibson doesn't seem to notice. He has obviously danced to this song before because his feet hit every mark in perfect time. He jumps and the whole house shakes. The song thumps out of the TV speakers loud enough to wake anyone sleeping upstairs. But he keeps going. Left, Up, Down, Down, Right, Up. His breathing gets louder as the song nears its end. His roommate looks on in awe as Gibson finishes up, the dance pad now completely askew.
When a player is too timid or needs a lot of practice, home consoles do the trick. For the price of a PlayStation, a dance pad and the game, serious or wannabe DDR
contenders can play in the comfort of their own home. Amanda McQuin, Wellington junior, says she prefers playing in her apartment because she isn't afraid to mess up and she doesn't have to pay for every game. But she occasionally will venture out to the machine at the Kansas Union 's Jaybowl. Whatever a player's preference may be , McQuin likes DDR because most video games require sitting on the couch and discourage physical activity, but to play DDR you actually have to get up and move. Plus helps coordination.
The newest home console version of DDR, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, includes online multiplayer options so people from across the globe can dance together. Home consoles may be good for practice but fans say it's the arcade that gives the full experience of dancing in public and full-on competition. Every DDR fanatic has his or her own preference - arcade vs. home - but most fans say no matter where you play, it's the people

"I brought it to college with me, and my entire floor (Lewis, Floor 5) last year loved it, too, so we became obsessed with it and introduced it to everyone," says Katherine Edell, Rochester, Minn., sophomore. "People from other halls and floors would come up just to have a DDR tournament. We would play out in the lobby and people on the floor below us complained to security that our stomping was too loud."
History of the revolution
Dancing or rhythm games began gaining popularity in 1996 with the introduction of Parappa the Rapper. A comprehensive gamer site, www.1up.com, rated Parappa the Rapper one of 50 essential games, saying it gave birth to the rhythm action genre. Jumping on the rhythm game bandwagon, Japanese video game producer Konami introduced Dance Dance Revolution at the Tokyo Game Show in 1998; it soon became a staple in Japanese arcades. Dance Dance Revolution was introduced to the United States in 2000, and now there are more than 2000 arcade-style DDR machines in the United States. Several versions of DDR have also been released for at-home use on PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox and even Sega Dreamcast. Most of these home consoles require a separate dance pad that functions as the game's controller. As of 2003, the most recent statistics available, more than 6.5 million copies of DDR had been sold since the series premiered in 1998, 4 million in Japan, 1.5 million in Europe and 1 million in the United States.
Phenomenon or fluke? If the Internet is any indication, then
DDR has reached cult status. There are fan sites galore that chronicle every aspect of the game, from equipment to special moves. A Google search for Dance Dance Revolution returned 11,600,000 links. OK, so it's popular, but why don't people just go dancing instead? DDR
freaks like de Leone says it's just not the same.
"A lot of people playing DDR simply can't go to a club. I mean, what kind of club would allow 14-year-olds? Some people really like karaoke. Some might even be pretty good. Would they go and try out for "American Idol"? Probably not. A similar thing here: some people really like DDR. Some people might even be pretty good. But a lot of people who play DDR don't think that it's dancing. It's 'smashing arrows' for a lot of people," de Leon says.
The Web site www.ddrfreak.com lists machine locations, Internet forums and even step charts for the different versions of DDR.As of July 2005 the site had more Continued on page 16=

than 55,000 members. These fans have also celebrated their obsession by organizing tournaments worldwide.
Carolyn Coyle, Baldwin, Mo., admits to suffering from a self-diagnosed disease called CRD (Caucasian Rhythm Disorder). DDR is the only dancing she can do, so
she uses it as a stress reliever. As she prepares to go head to head (or foot to foot) with another player, she is frustrated because one of the machine's sensors is sticking. She decides to play anyway. I watch as she and Mallory Smith compete, their feet moving in perfect unison. Coyle's face is screwed up in intense concentration as she tries to do her best, but that damned pad is sticking, messing up her score. The lights mixed with Coyle's and Smith's in-sync feet make the girls look like dancers in a flashy '80s music video. Up, Right, Right, Down, the song gets faster and their feet try
to catch up. Their stomping sets the lights aflame and the song comes to an abrupt Coyle shakes her head at her score, silently cursing that blasted stuck pad.
sic so much that he downloaded some of the songs before he even started playing DDR. The songs sound like poppy, techno that could appear in an anime feature. There are also recognizable covers, remixed into a techno version. Voisey enjoys the game so much that he sometimes plays three to six hours a day. Recently, after one particularly long round of
The music is another aspect of the game that generates fandom. Jon Voisey, St. Louis junior, says he enjoyed the mu-

SINCE 2015
DDR, he injured both his feet.
"It's worth mentioning that playing three to six hours a day is not the brightest of ideas," says Voisey of hurting his feet. If the rhythm actually does get you, players can buy CDs of the music if they want.
"I have friends who play DDR so much that they can actually do the steps to the music without having the arrows in front of them. It's ridiculous," Matzke says.
Some recog-
Some recognizable titles include remixes of Justin Timberlake's "Senorita" and Queen's "We Will Rock You." Other song titles, perhaps unrecognizable but still worth mentioning include, "Burning the Floor" and "Hyper Eurobeat." And if you think these song titles sound enticing . . .
...wait until you try these tunes on the machine and start feeling the burn. Hundreds of DDR fanatics have reported that their love for DDR has contributed to weight loss.
The next fad diet
(DDR) is just like any other hobby, just something to look forward to doing after work or class. I pulled an anti-freshman 15 because of it too, which was nice," Mindy Edgar, Leavenworth junior, says.
The newest version of DDR, DDR Extreme, even has a workout mode and researchers are developing new DDR-like games to combat child obesity. Richard Adler, an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee in Memphis is one of these researchers, and he says that children today are much less active than they used to be, in part because parents are afraid to let them out of the house to run around and be kids. According to Adler, 70 percent of homes in this country have some type of gaming system and he wants to capitalize on the fact that children now play a lot more video games than going outside and running around. A post on www.yourselfitness.com, a personal trainer Web site, compared the calories burned during DDR to the 200 calories burned during 20 minutes on a stationary bike. So Adler knows games like DDR are the answer to motivating overweight kids to get up and get moving.
"What better way to get kids active than for parents to say to their kids, 'go for it, you can play DDR all day if you
want?' And, if the kids are overweight they will burn off the excess fat in time," Adler says. "Aside from running, cycling, swimming or other physically demanding activities performed for at least one hour daily, I have found nothing better (than DDR) for kids."
It's my turn now. A DDR virgin, my fellow gamers promise to take it slow. I pick an old favorite. "We Are the Champions," only now instead of Queen's soothing tones, it's a techno remix and I position my feet. I am nervous, especially after watching all these people who belong on a DDR version of "American Idol." I look at the arrows in front of me when I remember that I am not the quickest person to distinguish left and right. Oh, well, I think, it's too late now. Up, Left, Down, Down, Right, Up. My feet are a flurry of misdirection. Meanwhile my arms have no clue what to do. They hang awkwardly at my sides, wondering what is going on down at my feet. The game is wondering, too, as all I can see is the word Miss, Miss, Miss over and over. As the song winds down I try to give the old Chaos Theory a try and just start jumping haphazardly on the sensors, hoping that my score will miraculously improve. But no such luck. As the song ends, I am left with a dismal score and little dignity among these seasoned DDR players. Then a song called "Witch Doctor" starts and I just can't contain myself.

Observations of a Joan Baez concert
October 5th, 2005
Liberty Hall
By Jonathan Leyser and Andrew White, Jayplay contributors
Joan Baez has been a pivotal American singer/songwriter and activist for more than 40 years. On her political agenda are civil rights, gay rights, environmental protection and the protest of both the Vietnam and Iraqi wars. Baez follows political acts Le Tigre, Electrelane and Saul Williams, all of whom visited Lawrence earlier this semester. Joan Baez graciously stole the Liberty Hall stage on October 5th, kicking off an early date on her nationwide fall tour.
An onpour of graying boomers, dressed more formally than the average concert crowd, filled Liberty Hall (at $42.50 to $60 for a ticket). Beer sales were low. Old, long-lost friends reunited with a hugs and hellos before the concert began. Baez took stage approximately 8:15 p.m., and her presence was warmly welcomed with an ovation. The crowd sat content, silent while Baez sang, but quick to sing-along when
prompted. The seemingly unsure Baez pointed the microphone to the audience at the end of the first song, and the silent crowed erupted a harmony of "Na, na, na, na," Joan paused. "Perfect," she said, clapping for her audience, who in return clapped back. She shined with confidence reminiscent of a legend.
She spoke about days past, spent in a relationship and performing with Bob Dylan. From the audience, a man bellowed, "You look a hell of a lot better than Dylan." The audience roared with laughter and Baez took a minute to blush and run her fingers through her short-length grey hair, before responding, "Getting older. It's just an art...Gimmie my paintbrush." As the night continues, she sang beautiful variations of Elvis Costello, Woody Guthrie and of course, Bob Dylan.
Her camaraderie with the audience continued throughout the show, maintaining the intimate atmosphere within Massachusetts Street's largest concert venue.
Stringed instruments including a steel guitar and mandolin accompanied her set. But it was the dynamic harmonies and powerful political messages that were focal points of the evening.
She commented on her stay at Cindy Sheehan's Camp Casey, just outside President Bush's Texas ranch. She explained they gathered at Camp Casey to deliver their anti-war plea to the president and the country. "Everybody came for a day and stayed a week. Me too," she said.
She lectured on compassion and told the story of George W.'s sister's death. President Bush was seven at the time and, according to Baez, the Bush family suppressed a lot of grief thereafter. After George senior and Barbara received the news of her death, Baez explains,
"they went golfing." Baez followed with a soprano ballad of "Swing Low, Swing Chariot" with an added verse for the president. She sang, "send even him home." The crowd cheered and laughed.
From their numbered seats, the crowed rose for a standing ovation, demanding an encore — twice. Beez reemerged and satisfied the audience with her 1975 best selling release, Diamonds & Rust (a song about her relationship with Bob Dylan).
Her recent live release, Bowery Songs, features covers of her friends in folk music, four original and never-before heard arrangements of traditional songs.
Following two encores, Baez declined an interview, opting for a massage.

Art that Rocks
Graphic design meets rock 'n' roll
By Dave Ruigh, Jayplay writer
Video killed the radio star two decades ago and nobody really seemed to mind. Here in the 00s, an invisible marauder known as the mp3 is slowly killing CDs; and more importantly, its accompanying album artwork. And people seem to mind. As a result, the concert poster, a hybrid of music promotion and art, has spiked in popularity. It's the music lover's Neosporin, a source of rock-related art that acts as a combative ointment for the changing times. Concert posters are now sold in a variety of settings and can even be found in exhibitions at major art museums like the Museum of Design in Atlanta, a branch of the Smithsonian Institution.
Barry Fitzgerald, associate professor of design, says the concert poster's recent surge in popularity is a natural response to the loss of album art because music and art have had strong ties since the birth of modern pop culture. Concert
posters had a similar rise in popularity when cassettes and CDs replaced vinyl, causing album art to shrink to a fraction of its former size.
The concert poster first appeared as a small, benign handbill in the early days of rock'n roll, during the late 1950s and early 60s; it primarily served as a marketing and promotional tool and little thought was given to its aesthetic worth. That all changed in the late 1960s when artists, inspired by the psychedelic sounds of West Coast bands like Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, began producing colorful, ornate concert posters that stupefied the free-love generation almost as much as the music itself. These posters were produced with traditional materials such as paint and ink and were extremely labor intensive.
Many of the concert posters produced today are designed using computers

and are stylistically similar to the photo collage work of the artist Stephen Kroninger. Micah Smith, art director at Blue Collar press, a local design and production company, designs concert posters in this fashion by manipulating various fonts, images and collected clip art within PhotoShop Illustrator. The posters that result are often a surrealistic blend of random images, band names and tour dates.
Along with promoting a show or a string of concert dates, rock posters also benefit the artist who creates them when they are plastered throughout a town.
"It's my greatest tool to get my art noticed," says Drew James, an illustrator and promoter for Up To Eleven Productions, a local agency that books shows for venues throughout the Midwest. "It's like having your own low-rent art show."

Even though recent technologies have made their production easier and cheaper, concert posters aren't made for every show that comes through town. An artist will only design a poster when commissioned by one of three rock entities: the show's promoter, the venue where the show will be held, or the band itself. More often than not, says Smith, it will be the promoter who asks him to create a poster.
But being a promoter first and foremost, James has different motivations to design and produce posters: "I usually only do it for the bands I like," he says.
And as one would expect, designing rock posters is a pretty good way to make a living.

QA AND
with Metric
Slim, well-dressed and hailing from Canada, the boys and girl of Metric have been turning heads with their jittery, new-wave pop since they released their debut. Old World Underground, Where Are You Now, two years ago. Currently on the road to promote their frantically-righteous new record, Live It Out, Metric brings their much talked about live show to the Bottleneck on October 20. Taking a break from making all the cool kids dance, bassist Josh Winstead talks about the effect of his instrument on the human posterior and why "Stairway to Heaven" is a good song after all.
Q: What question do you dislike answering the most about your band or records and why?

From left to right:
Josh, Joules, Jimmy, Emily
A: I dislike being asked questions about the history of the band that have answers that are easily accessible to anybody with the Internet. Why? Because it's a waste of my time.
Q: What question have you always wanted to answer in an interview yet have never been asked?
A: I've wanted to be asked about anything that has to do with the influence of the bass creating the bounce for the booty and why it feels so good when the low end kicks in...No, I'm just joshing you.
Q: What are five adjectives that you hope would apply to someone who has just seen you play live?
A: Impressed, confused, drunk, broke, famous.
Q: Why does the United States refuse to accept the metric system?
A: Ignorance, pure and simple.
Q: If you could co-headline with anyone, past or present, who would it be and why?
A: Miles Davis, circa 1966. I want to hear and see the band he had during the late sixties that music was alive.
Q: Is "Stairway to Heaven" a good song?
Why or why not?
A: Yeah, "Stairway to Heaven" is a good song! But you have to forget all the times you've heard some sucker playing it in a
guitar store, basement or garage and just think of just the song itself. Come on, it's "Stairway to Heaven" — it's Zep, baby. "Empty," a song on our new record, was directly influenced by that song. Well OK, it wasn't, but that sounded right for a second.

Drink here The Bourgeois Pig
The Bourgeois Pig is not just another bar. It is dim, lit by lamplight and twinkling Christmas lights that hang year-round. Hushed conversations echo throughout and drift on to the back and front smoking patios. It is small, but the tight fit just enhances the bar's intimacy.
"It's filled with free spirits and open minds. Other bars are like a meat market but at this bar, you can be yourself," says Vera Ackerly, Bourgeois Pig patron. Ackerly likes "the Pig's" Algonquin martini, a special pineapple martini. They also offer three-dollar premium bottles every night of the week.
The Bourgeois Pig doesn't just cater to alcohol fiends but also to caffeine addicts. The assortment of coffee drinks and alcohol should please any drinker in need of a quiet, downtown Lawrence venue.

Bartender of the week
Sarah Heath
What kind of qualities do you want in a bartender? Someone who is friendly, quick, has a good sense of humor and hmmm...oh yeah, the ability to cast hot, liquid iron. Well, if you stop by Harbour Lights on Monday or Saturday nights, you will find all of these qualities in KU sculpture student and bartender Sarah Heath. When she's not working at the bar she is a teaching assistant for a metal casting class at KU.
Heath halls from Wichita but spent much of her youth in Italy. She has bartended at Harbour Lights for a year and has become a favorite among many of the bar's regulars. After she graduates, she plans to etitner
go to graduate school or pursue an artist residency in sculpture.
Favorite Music to listen to while bartending: Heath claims Harbour Lights has one of the best jukeboxes in town. She says she enjoys the longer tracks like Miles Davis so she can get the most bang for her buck. She also confesses to a secret love for the Pretenders.

QA AND
11
In his down time from his job at Lawrence, com this past summer, Richard Gintowt and his band, OK Jones, managed to hammer out Push/Pull, a charming, sepia-tinged record that mixes the best of rock and Americana. On a recent chilly afternoon, Gintowt took time away from his search for a new drummer to talk about the new album and why it's better to be a front-man than a drummer. Staying too long, he almost missed band practice.
Q: OK Jones is a rock band with an indie sound, yet one that also employs a pedal steel guitar. Do you consider the band's sound more indie-rock or alt-country?
A: It's definitely more in line with indie-rock, we just happen to have a pedal steel guitar player. Besides, alt-country is a horrible label. It conjures up images of hubcaps and neon signs.
Q: Some of the songs on the new record, Push/Pull, are pretty dark and personal. Are they autobiographical?
A: All of the songs I write are grounded in everyday life, be it my own or that of someone I know. The songwriting just comes naturally; I guess it's therapeutic in some ways.
Q: There are a lot of guest musicians on the record. Are they all friends of yours?
A: Some of them are. Most are in local bands. Dan Kozak played the flute on the record - he's the guy who's always playing in front of Liberty Hall. I just went up to him one day and asked him if he'd come to my studio and play for a while. I paid him like twenty bucks an hour; he said he was happy to do it because that was more than he'd make on Mass. St.
Q: You used to drum for Ghosty. Why did you decide to quit to front OK Jones?
A: I always had the idea of fronting, and being OK Jones, but I got distracted by Ghosty and ended up drumming with them for five years. I left because there wasn't room in the band for two singersongwriters. Andrew (Conner) and I are both too hard-headed. When I'm in a band, I want to be the dominant musical force in the band, but I didn't want to replace Andrew when I was in Ghosty. So I left and focused on OK Jones.
Q: What is it like to switch from drummer to front-man?
A: It's great because I get to write and play my own songs, but there's also more pressure and responsibility. Now it's my ship to sink or swim - wow, sorry, two clichés in a row.
Q: Since you left Ghosty, they've had some success, signing with a label and putting out a record. Are you resentful at all?
A: No, I'm happy for them. I've gone to a few of their shows since I quit, so it's cool. Plus, I hope they're successful because they still owe me the 500 bucks I lent them to make their record.

Damn alright
Rolling Stones concert review, Tuesday, September 6, St. Paul, Minn.,
By William Ferleman, Jayplay contributor
Disregard the ill-informed unbelievers — the Rolling Stones pack more frenetic, demented energy into one show than most mere rocking (or otherwise) mortals could their in whole lives. With age, they've gained in passion and finecraft, raunchily-immoral showmanship. Now they're no longer simply recycling "outdated" classic ditties, but also performing newer material. Four songs from their twenty-song set came from their recent album, A Bigger Bang. And these songs, including current single "Rough Justice," garnered just as much reverence from attendees as tested the
staples. Incredibly, the 43 year-old band remains deathless and relevant, defiant and experienced, now justifiably singing. "Hey, Hey, Hey, that's what I say!"
With the uplifting opening riff to "Start Me Up," still-breathing guitarist, Keith Richards, brightly kick-started the festivities with charismatic, hyper-caffeinated front-man Mick Jagger and the band in tow. Beddecked in tight black jeans and a faux, fancy, lips-logo Wonka coat, Jagger looked like the affable midnight rambler kissing off the fates.
Perennially raising his arms up and down, dancing in dizzying circles with
saucily and Elvis-like hip gyrations, Jagger, 62, continues to be the model rock frontman and entertainer. His dictatorial, mesmeric sway over the audience seemed reminscent of a certain vegetarian mustachioed "leader," or at least of Pat Robertson's Jesus. Spouting the lyrics to hits like "Beast of Burden" and "Brown Sugar" was second-nature, but nonetheless cheerfully and honestly carried out. Despite eons of touring and onstage conventions, Jagger somehow
managed to lay out the illusion of chastity and joyful spontaneity; at one point, even sticking his mic suggestively in his pants.
Drummer Charlie Watts continued to beat along nicely and rhythm guitarist Ron Wood grooved spiritedly with the Jagger-Richards alchemical,

bluesy-rock machine. As for Richards, he's still up to his old gamesome impishness, having arrived onstage wearing a black "Homeland Security" shirt, telling the crowd he's not just glad to be in St. Paul, but "anywhere." Richards' work on the guitar couldn't be better and his reclusive, resigned contrast to Jagger's determined limelight-lust only
italicized the performance's stimulation and mystique. On the most well-received and potent number, "Jumpin' Jack Flash", Richards emphatically and artfully slash-strummed his guitar. But most of the evening, he slyly maneuvered in the background.
For audience thrill, the band manned a portable stage, which jettisoned to the center of the complex. They played a four-song set which included their most popular hit, "Satisfaction (I Can't
Get No)" and also the new satiric "Oh No, Not You Again." Jagger chatted briefly, stating that the new songs went over "damn alright." The encore included the ballad "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll."
Jagger still
struts like a rich player across the stage. And the rest of the band, including Richards, shows no signs of fading away.

Serenity is an action movie, and, yes, there are choreographed fight sequences, big explosions and government cover-ups. But the characters in the film are flesh and blood, and the hits they take are palpable. The most painful part though is not when they're hit, but afterwards, when they are obliged to keep moving even though they're still gushing blood.

Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit 25 minutes. South Wind 12
☆☆☆
Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit can be summed up in one word: cute. The claymation man-dog duo makes its debut on the big screen after a handful of Academy Award-winning shorts in the early to mid '90s. There's a simple pleasure in watching a bumbling British inventor, who speaks as if he went to the Oxford School of Bad Puns, and a dog that never talks and rolls his eyes at everything his master does.
Wallace and Gromit operate a humane pest-control business specializing in the protection of vegetables and private gardens days before their British town's giant vegetable festival. The "pests," though, are cute little bunny rabbits with upturned pig noses and high-pitched squeaks. The cuteness

out for the heart of Lady Tottington (Helena Bonham Carter), who would rather shoot the little creatures. When Wallace tries to stop the bunnies from eating the town's vegetables with a brain-washing device, he accidentally creates a Were-Rabbit - a giant, fuzzy bunny with teeth the size of ax-blades and a never-ending appetite. Quatermaine would rather shoot the animal dead, but Wallace tries a more allur-

The film is from the same animation team that made Chicken Run, also cute and fun, and uses the same for-
filmmakers play it up every opportunity they get which results in childish, goofy fun. I don't think it's a coincidence Wallace has an obsession with cheese, literally and figuratively. The directors, Nick Park (who also made Chicken Run) and Steve Box, successfully take what made the shorts successful and carry it on for an hour and a half. The dry British humor and bad jokes may not lead to a lot of launch

Discovering The Waterfront Silverstein

Silverstein is one of the thousands of emo/hardcore bands to come along in recent years. They've built a large fanbase with nonstop touring including a few stints on the Warped Tour.

Discovering The Waterfront is the follow-up to their popular debut
When Broken Is Easily Fixed. Is it better? Yes. Is it worth getting? Probably not. Silverstein relies on the same tricks most bands of the genre do: explosive parts with screaming, mellow parts with soft vocals and intertwining guitar parts.
But the best song (and one that I do think is definitely worth hearing) is the tile track, "Discovering The Waterfront." In it, the band breaks away from its 3-minute formula, slows down the tempo, cuts out the dull screaming parts and delivers an emotional release you'll probably see me singing along to in my mini-van.
That sounds harsh, but in all honesty there are a few good tracks on this album. The first one being "Smile In Your Sleep," which features an excellent tempo change in the bridge and some nice drumming by Paul Koehler. "My Heroine" is a great one as well. "Always and Never" has a quick and catchy chorus and "Call It Karma" is a good closer to the album.
So Discovering The Waterfront does feature some excellent tracks, but if you're looking for an excellent emo album, pick up Taking Back Sunday, Further Seems Forever, or Brand New. If you're still interested in seeing Silverstein they'll be playing the Granada on Saturday Oct 29th.

James' vocals eerily meander in and out of the music with an echoy falcetto tinge.

Shalimar The Clown
By Salman Rushdie, Random House, Available in Hardcover, $25.95 1/2
Very few modern authors have sparked the controversy and provocation that Salman Rushdie has. So incendiary is Rushdie's work that Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa (basically, a hit) against him in response to the novel, The Satanic Verses.
Indian by birth, Rushdie usually focuses on that country — specifically the disputed region of Kashmir, which is populated by both Hindus and Muslims. A staunch atheist, Rushdie nonetheless has a religious focus, that is to say, religious extremism. The title character, Shalimar, grows up in a Muslim family in Kashmir and over time, turns into a religious fanatic and terrorist.
The novel begins when Max Ophuls, a celebrated ambassador and American hero, is slain in front of his daughter India's house in Los Angeles. The assassin is Shalimar, Ophuls' driver. The rest of the novel details the lives of both men, and how they meet their fates. It's clever that such an assassination at first seems little more than a political statement, but is soon revealed to be much more personal and passionate.
Onhar and praetender in Kashmir, Shalimar marries a Hindu
dancer named Boonyi, who in turn ends up having a connection with Ophuls and his illegitimate daughter. Ophuls' past, specifically his World War II Resistance work and ambassador experience, is wonderfully detailed. The two men are very well fleshed-out, and their motives and experiences make them quite plausible.
The women, however, are mere cutouts and come off as spoiled brats (namely Ophuls' daughter India). Since the women aren't the focus of the novel, it seems almost nit-picky to point out flaws in their development. However, when the women are the men's driving motivation, a little more touching up should be expected. Also, Rushdie, who describes Kashmir with utter love and devotion, boils Los Angeles down to its popular culture skeleton, relying on clichés and stereotypes to depict it.
For those looking for a thought-provoking read about the sad state of current global affairs (come on, you know you are). Shalimar is another feather in Rushdie's cap of literary achievement.

The happy life of a sick girl
I was supposed to be riding in the national championship horse show. instead, I laid on a cool, damp hospital bed holding a sterile telephone as my best friend spoke of the trophy I was
supposed to win. The day a nurse wheeled me to my room at Children's Hospital, was the day my plane took off for the show.
I'd grown accustomed to such disappointments. I was always ill, perusing the medicine cabinet each morning like a refrigerator. As a little girl, I ate amoxicillin chewables for breakfast and strep throat claimed many a

sive hand.
Who knew a pesky case of mono could land you with a tube up your pee hole? I didn't, but after 17 years of getting the worst of every common illness,
I should've predicted it.
I was sick before I could spell the word. Missing two weeks of kindergarten to recover from pneumonia, chicken pox and strep throat, I sought solace in saltine crackers and the dim comfort of my bathroom. I could take a strep test with the best of 'em. Barely flinching when a nurse stuck the wide popicle stick down my throat, my gag reflex all but

destroyed. I hone the skill to this day. Eventually, my illnesses forced me into all-out fights with the school district about my absences. I always missed more than the allotted amount of school.The district perpetually threatened to give me half-credit.Mother, furious, would march into the administrative offices waving doctor's notes like a flag, while I lay in bed, missing all of my junior year final exams.
"Don't talk," my mother would bark, one hand on my damp forehead, fingers of the other hand between her clenched teeth. When it beeped, I'd have her look. "98.8," then she'd sigh, because I rarely ran a temperature, a testament to my lousy immune system. I learned that a nice hot fever was crucial to earn the attention of a doctor.
I became paranoid that the doctor didn't believe me and all of my medical complaints. "Your tests came back normal," he often said with a raised eyebrow. I imagined they flagged my file with a Post-it reading, "Hypodhondriac."
Me describing the sharp sporadic pain in my stomach, the doctor staring at me exhaustedly and jotting futile notes, I had to once drink 20 ounces of chalky pink barium (yeah, it's an element on the periodic table) in front of an x-ray machine. And another time I sipped a lactose and water cocktail to see if I was intolerant. My mother and I sat in the exam room reading Everybody Poops, laughing until I thought lactose would shoot out my nose.
In eighth grade, I contracted whooping cough and spat blood for two weeks. I couldn't decide which was worse, sporting a surgical mask in public places or enduring tests in which a doctor inserted a wire through my nose and into my trachea. When a grim call came from the doctor, notifying us of my positive test results, the Center of Disease Control was notified. Evidently, I was an epidemic risk and I wore a surgical mask for days and felt just like a leper for many of them. Nobody wants to ride in an elevator with a pale girl wearing a surgical mask. Nobody.
It was all that I missed that made being the sick girl the worst. It was the whole summer I missed from mono, the horse shows I couldn't attend, the school days i skipped for fear of passing an illness on. I hated all that.
Sometimes I think about how much of life I let pass during my bouts of illness. Sometimes I get royally pissed remembering the days in bed or on a paper-laden exam table. Now, primarily healthy, save for allergies and the occasional kidney infection, I look back and realize it wasn't so bad. There's even something comical about catheters and bedpans.
Life is funny, including the sick parts. After all, I'm alive, aren't I?

Students should protect homes
Renters' insurance recommended
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDIO WRITER
Neil Spector didn't think about renters' insurance until the recent fire at the Boardwalk Apartments.
The Buffalo Grove, Ill., senior, said the fire that occurred near his complex, Parkway Townhouses, shed light on the importance of having renters' insurance — and what could result if students are not covered.
"I didn't think that I needed it," he said. "It kind of spooked me."
Nearly two-thirds of those living in U.S. rental properties go without renters' insurance, according to Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America.
Nina Shade of Douglas County Insurance & Financial Services said the problem stemmed from the idea that "this couldn't happen to me." She said students haven't experienced living on their own and being responsible for their property."
Nina Shade of Douglas County Insurance & Financial Services said the problem stemmed from the idea that "this couldn't
happen to me." She said students haven't experienced living on their own and being responsible for their property.
She said renters' insurance was inexpensive for the coverage it could provide. For about $20 a month, students could receive coverage for $30.000.
"You're taking a chance at losing everything you have and not having the funds to start over again," she said.
Spector said he wouldn't let the idea of cost deter him from purchasing renters' insurance, because even college students should be careful.
Charlene Bailey, assistant director of public affairs for the Kansas Insurance Department,
said renters' insurance among college students was one of the most under-sold policies.
She said her office tried to educate apartment renters about the importance of having renters' insurance through meetings and brochures, but that information didn't always translate.
"A lot of the time, we don't pay attention to what's in front of us until we need it," she said.

Beijing dancers to perform at KU
BY MALINDA OSBORNE

KANSAM STAFF WRITER
"Most people don't really think of Pink Floid as dance music." Tmn said.
Michelle Tran, Derby junior and cultural arts coordinator for Student Union Activities, said it's this fusion that gives the performance a multicultural twist.
Imagine a group of Chinese dancers moving in sync to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and you have the Beijing Modern Dance Company's performance "Rear Light" at 7:30 tonight at the Lied Center.
"Rear Light" explores the world of a young Chinese generation without
aim or direction. It is meant to reflect the younger generation in China today and its fight to be free from tradition and its search for new challenges said Willy Tsao, artistic director for the Beijing Modern Dance Company.
Tsao said traditional Chinese culture emphasizes singing in performances and denies emphasis on the body.
According to its Web site, Beijing Modern Dance Company was
"There's a Renaissance in China right now as people are beginning to use their body as a means of expression. It gives the person a greater self-awareness and is very significant in shaping the new China," Tsao said.
founded in December 1995 as an "independent" company under the leadership of the Beijing Cultural Bureau. It tours extensively throughout China and the globe, all the while striving to integrate Chinese culture with influences from abroad in its performances.
Changcheng Zhang, executive director for the dance company, said every audience has been warm in its reception to the company.
"This is a small world now thanks to the Internet and television." Zhang said. "And although the cultures may be different, we are all still human beings."

ENROLLMENT
Student Senate opposes drop policy change
BY JOHN JORDAN
jjordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate voted unanimously, 71-0. Wednesday to oppose shortening the class withdrawal period from three weeks to two weeks.
The Academic Procedures and Policies Committee is in the process of making a recommendation about the withdrawal policy.
The resolution composed by the senate said students have "strong opposition" to any changes.
The Academic Procedures and Policies Committee is in the process of
making a recommendation about the withdrawal policy. The 13-member panel, made up of faculty, classified and unclassified staff and three students, will vote on a recommendation Nov. 1. Two senators from the committee discussed the possible changes at the meeting.
Lauren Pierson, Prairie Village junior, said that the committee recommending a shorter first withdrawal policy would be rash. The policy was changed in Spring 2004 from five weeks to three weeks, with opposition from students, said Pierson, committee member and junior College of Liberal Arts senator.
Now the committee is discussing lowering it again, before it's had time to assess the effectiveness of the current time length.
"As students, I feel sometimes they overlook us," Pierson said.
She said the three students on the committee were against changing it, yet the committee seemed to be in favor of the changes.
She hoped the resolution would send a strong message to the committee.
Stan Loeb, committee member, said the committee is only making a recommendation, and that recommendation would have several steps before it goes to the provost and then the chancellor.

Marcus Fillyaw's mentor is a man named Zac Burson from Bassier City, La. Marcus, 11, has never seen Burson before. But Burson's been helping him with every step of his class project, a Powerpoint presentation about a person who took a historic stand.
Program provides telementors for kids
Midge Schmitz' 6th-grade gifted class had seven teachers in the computer lab on Tuesday afternoon. As Schmitz looked over the shoulders of her six students, virtual mentors worked with each of them.
"Mine's on Jackie Robinson,"
These Eisenhower Middle School students, like students throughout Topeka Public Schools, are being "telementored" by e-mail from volunteers throughout the world. Through Pathways to Success, a KU Center for Research on Learning programs in place in Topeka since 1999, the students are able to learn technology, receive individual attention and work on a class project at the same time.
"The mentors have been great," Schmitz said. "They have sent information, and Web sites, and primary sources."
The KU Center for Research on
Learning started Pathways to Success in 1999 with the goal of helping students get to college. The grant that funds the program requires that more than 50 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced lunches. Because Lawrence didn't fill out that requirement, the program was placed in Topeka. In August, it received $9.3 million during the next six years.
The program places KU staff at middle schools and high schools in Topeka to mentor the students and work with their families. Telementoring, which is receiving advice from professionals by e-mail, has been in place since the program's inception.
Marcus said.

Volunteer mentors are paired with students through the International Telementor Program out of Fort Collins, Colo., which finds mentors for 400 to 600 Topeka students each year. Students send the program their biographies, including hobbies and interests, and mentors select students they want to be paired with.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY MATT LINDBERG
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The first full week back from fall break is nearly finished, and now everyone is getting ready for their fun-filled weekends. If you find yourself looking for something to do, you may consider checking out the "Doom," which hits theaters today.
"Doom" is one of several video-games-turned-films, and stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ("Be Cool," "The Rundown"). The Rock plays a character referred to only as "Sarge," a sergeant of the Rapid Response Tactical Squad. Sarge and his crew are researching the planet Mars on an important mission.
When their communication system with Earth shuts down, the crew thinks it's only a minor problem, only to discover the planet is full of mutant creatures out to destroy humans.
Sarge and his crew are out to kill all of the creatures before the mutants get the opportunity to kill them. But killing the mutants is not their only problem. Tensions grows among the
1:30, 4:20, 7:50, and 10:10 p.m.

crew members as they argue about the best way to destroy the mutants.
"Doom" is not the greatest picture to come out in 2005 by any means, but it is some good entertainment. If you are looking for a good shoot-'em-up action movie, "Doom" is definitely for you.
The Rock once again delivers a solid performance and hints this is the beginning of his promising acting career. While the plot isn't the most creative, it stays true to the video game series, which helps make this movie successful. The Motion Picture Association of America gave "Doom" an R rating for violence and gore.
The Rock has said in interviews he his extremely proud of the film, and rumors are now swirling in Hollywood we can expect at least two more sequels. "Doom" is now showing at South Wind 12 theaters, 3433 Iowa St.

Actor did more than alter voice for 'Capote'
WASHINGTON — It took more than a high-pitched voice for Philip Seymour Hoffman to impersonateTruman Capote in the new movie, "Capote."
"It was a certain way his mouth functioned, the way his tongue functioned, the way his head was that all fed into the way he sounded," Hoffman told AP Radio in a recent interview.
"And then there was a rhythm to the way he talked."
Hoffman said he lost weight and wore certain clothes to make himself appear smaller, "but then the way he stands, the way he walks, all these things are going to affect all that stuff."
The Assoicated Press
"I don't think that that's really important," said Hoffman, whose screen credits also include roles in "The Talented Mr. Ripley," "Magnolia" and "Almost Famous."
Playing Capote is Hoffman's biggest role yet, but the 38-year-old actor said he doesn't care if the film fails to land him other lead roles.
ing role if you're not the one thats supposed to be playing it. I'm perfectly satisfied with the career I've had."
Gibson gives $1 million for hurricane relief
"You don't want a lead act-
MEXICO CITY — Mel Gibson, sporting a long beard and no socks, met with Mexican President Vicente Fox and donated $1 million to help Mexico recover from Hurricane Stan.
Fox's office said Wednesday that Gibson had asked to meet with Fox because he wanted to help after the hurricane hit the Gulf state of Veracruz, where he is filming the movie "Apocalypto."
Hurricane Stan and related storms left more than 1,500 people dead or missing in Central America and Mexico. Another storm, Hurricane Wilma, was expected to come close to hitting Mexico's Yucatan peninsula late this week.
Dialogue in "Apocalypto," set 500 years ago in Central America, will be spoken in an obscure Mayan dialect, in the same way Gibson used Aramaic and Latin for his religious blockbuster, "The Passion of the Christ"

Topeka Police Chief Elk Klumps sits in his office as he reads over issues contained in the 125 page report released on Thursday in Topeka by district attorney Robert Hecht. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the conduct of Chief Klumpp and the department's narcotics unit.

Report shows misconduct
— The Associated Press
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Narcotics officers regularly tampered with drug evidence and falsified records, and Topeka's police chief knew about the problems when he sought prosecution of flawed criminal cases, Shawnee County's top prosecutor said Thursday.
District Attorney Robert Hecht said top Topeka police officials, including Chief Ed Klumpp, knew about problems in the narcotics unit by 2003, yet no officers were disciplined. Hecht also said his office was forced to dismiss 25 criminal cases filed since 1999 because of questions about officers' conduct.
"It is clear that the chain of command, including the chief of police, were aware that there were serious factual flaws in these cases and that they contained false statements and allegations," Hecht said in a report on the narcotics unit.
Hecht's 125-page report resulted from an 18-month investigation of the narcotics unit his office conducted with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Its release came only two days after Klumpp, 56, announced he would retire in December for personal and financial reasons after 35 years with the department — including four years as chief.
District Attorney Robert Hecht said top Topeka police officials, including Chief Ed Klumpp knew about problems in the narcotics unit by 2003, yet no officers were disciplined. Hecht also said his office was forced to dismiss 25 criminal cases filed since 1999 because of questions about officers' conduct.
Klumpp told The Associated Press that while the report details problems within the 11-member narcotics unit, it may leave a misleading picture of the entire police department of 285 officers.
"I don't think there's any false information in this report," Klumpp said. "But I think what it does is paint with too broad a brush over the entire narcotics unit and perhaps the entire department and command structure."
As for his retirement being prompted by the investigation, Klumpp said, "Certainly this is a huge issue. It's weighed heavily on me. It's taken its toll on me and worn me out. But the fact is I would have retired in December anyway."
One former Topeka narcotics officer has been sentenced to prison for misconduct and his ex-partner faces 144 criminal charges.
Mayor Bill Bunten said he hadn't read the report and wanted to talk to Klumpp about it, adding, "We'll see what his
side of the story is." The City Council scheduled a meeting for Saturday morning to discuss the report.
In his report, Hecht said Klumpp's department had "a blind eye to best police practices" and that his investigation raised questions about the integrity of department records and its handling of evidence.
The report said that between November 2003 and February 2004, the narcotics unit's supervisors had numerous discussions with their superiors, including Klumpp, about problems within the unit. There were no case reports on how $20,000 in money set aside for undercover drug buys had been used, even after eight or 10 months. Hecht said.
He said drug evidence was taken for personal use; officers gambled and drank alcohol while they were on duty; they falsified records about their activities; and the department failed to properly oversee the use of money for drug buys.
Hecht's office already had concluded that former narcotics officer Thomas Pfortmiller stole the police drug-buy money to support a gambling habit and falsified reports about undercover drug buys.
"This narcotics unit has a history of falsifying and/or deliberately misleading the court to secure search warrants," Hecht wrote.
Last month, Portmiller pleaded no contest in Shawnee County District Court to 50 counts of misconduct, perjury, forgery and theft and was sentenced to 16 months in prison.
A week later, his former partner, Bruce Voight, was charged with 61 felonies and 83 misdemeanors and placed on paid leave. He is accused of promoting obscenity, falsifying evidence, perjury and official misconduct.
Hecht's report Thursday didn't identify any other officers as being part of the misconduct within the unit. But, he said other officers participated in evidence tampering, such as verifying false weights for drug evidence.

Florida prepares for impact
BY WILL WEISSERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANCUN, Mexico — Tourists packed Cancun's airport and shuttled from luxury hotels to spartan emergency shelters Thursday, desperately trying to escape Hurricane Wilma as its outer bands battered the resort's white-sand beaches. Cuba evacuated more than 200,000 people.
The storm had strengthened slightly, and forecasters said it could regain Category 5-strength winds of 156 mph or more.
Wilma, a Category 4 storm with winds of 150 mph, churned toward the Yucatan peninsula and south Florida after its outer bands hit Haiti and Jamaica, where it killed at least 13 people. The storm was expected to strike Cancun and its surrounding resorts and sideswipe Cuba early Friday.
Briefly the most intense Atlantic hurricane on record, Wilma was a potentially catastrophic Category 5 storm before weakening. Its 150 mph winds made it more powerful than Hurricane Katrina when it plowed into the Gulf coast of the United States on Aug. 29, killing more than 1,200 people.
Cancun, a city of some 500,000 people, by early Friday.
"This is getting very powerful, very threatening," Mexican President Vicente Fox said earlier.
Forecasters said Wilma likely would make a sharp right turn toward Florida, where Gov. Jeb Bush declared a state of emergency, after getting caught in the westerlies, the strong wind current that generally blows toward the east. It is expected to make landfall in Florida on Sunday.
said Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
"At least for the next couple of days here, we think we're going to have a very powerful hurricane here in the Caribbean,"
Hundreds of schools in the Yucatan peninsula were ordered closed Thursday and Friday,and many were turned into shelters. Airlines started canceling flights.
At 5 p.m. EDT, the storm's wobbly center was roughly 135 miles southeast of Cozumel, a popular vacation island, the hurricane center said. Its forecast track would carry it directly to
At the Cancun airport, hundreds of tourists waited for flights or sought rental cars, taxis or ATMs.

Rejko Dragas installs a chicken-wire fence in his chicken coop in Spuz, Serbia, on Thursday to prevent contact with wild birds. Preliminary tests on fowl from a region south of Moscow, where hundreds of birds died suddenly, detected the H5N1 strain of bird flu — signs that the dreaded virus might be spreading across a swath from Siberia to the shores of the Mediterranean.

Migrating fowl could threaten Middle East
BY JIM KRANE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — As migrating waterfowl begin winging their way toward the warmth of the Middle East, this Persian Gulf nation — with a coastline and wetlands that host millions of wintering birds
— is bracing for the arrival of ducks and geese carrying the dreaded bird flu virus.
the disease was confirmed Thursday in Thailand. The disease has spread to birds in Europe, where it has been confirmed in Turkey and Romania in recent weeks, as well as in Russia.
"We can't sleep, I'm telling you," Majid Al Mansouri, who heads the country's bird flu campaign, said Thursday.
Now the birds blamed for bringing H5N1 to Turkey are headed across the Middle East into Africa.
Across the Middle East, countries are stockpiling vaccine and medication, banning poultry and live bird imports, and going on high alert.
The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has devastated poultry stocks and killed 61 people in Asia, where another death from

on any that are sick and dying," said Peter Hellyer a bird enthusiast with the Emirates Bird Records Committee.
The Emirates government has enlisted a special weapon: the legions of bird watchers on the lookout for the 300 species and 2 million migrating birds that spend time in the region.
"We're keeping an eye on the birds coming in so we can report
Government inspectors have fanned out to check poultry farms, halt sale of live chickens and force people who own a few chickens or ducks to slaughter and eat them now or hand them over for destruction. Al Mansouri said many had already been killed. The country, like others in the Gulf, has imported tons of disinfectant and 4 million doses of anti-viral medication.
The H5N1 bird flu strain is easily spread among birds, but difficult for humans to contract. Scientists are worried, however, the strain could trigger a pandemic by mutating into a form easily transmitted between humans.

Right? Wrong
We all know the story, Harry met Sally, Sally really liked Harry, Harry and Sally joined hands and lived happily.
Many of us are in and out of relationships all the time.
The previous example illustrates a recurring situation for many college students minus the "happily together forever" part.
Well, no man is an island. No woman is either.
Breaking up is hard to do,
so why do we keep doing it
again and again?
No matter how independent an individual may claim to be, the desire and need for human companionship is universal, especially within the context of that loosely defined and ever-changing term; love.
Many attempt to find it at bars, in clubs and one-night stands.
I have observed these not to be very conducive for acquiring love, just its counterfeit: lust.
Acting upon this counterfeit leads to lower self-esteem for both sexes, and it is no
MARY SCHNEIDER
wonder that this is the case.
In fulfilling the carnal desires found in one-night stands, a person no longer is seen as a woman or a man, just merely an object void of personality and spirit existing to satisify a selfish fish.
There is no individuality in this mindset, and studies have proven time and time again that this lack of individuality, makes us, as, very unhappy.
Yet, according to other studies, it seems that physical attractiveness, especially among males, is a key component to the idea of love.
In looking at this, I just had to roll my eyes, and do it again as another study showed that men rank their girlfriends as less attractive when shown pictures of various Hollywood type women.
I want everyone to read
this and understand that every single one of us is going to get old, earn wrinkles, and probably get fat.
The physical exterior is destined to change, even in spite of plastic surgery.
We've all seen the cellophane faces with stretched smiles and botox cheeks. They are not pretty, they are fake. Physical appearances change, and usually just deteriorate.
It is no wonder divorce rates are so high when a thing such as physical beauty becomes just as emphasized as personality and compatibility.
Basing one's happiness upon an ever changing characteristic just seems plain silly.
That is why I challenge all those in the pursuit of happiness and love to celebrate the individual within the skin.
That is where true interaction and happiness begins.

▼ LETTER THE EDITOR
Take a walk on the caring side
I don't know how to start this because I'm afraid that the stories I have to tell about Uganda are too obscene to be published. I'm not sure how much I can say about O.R., the fourteen-year-old child soldier who was forced to grind a baby to death with a mortar and pestle in front of its mother. I don't know if I can talk about K., who was abducted at age nine, made to smear herself with her father's blood after he was murdered in front of her, and then raped repeatedly by three rebel commanders for four years. I don't know if I'm allowed to mention cannibalism at gunpoint, the gang rape of five-month-old girls, or the opium-addicted grade school kids.
We don't want to read those stories — they'll upset our lunch or depress us for the rest of the day. Though we may think these things are too graphic for a campus newspaper, they constitute the reality that tens of thousands of children face every day. Since 1986, the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) in northern Uganda has abducted more than 20,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers and sex slaves. The LRA, whose forces are 80% children, and the Ugandan government have been locked

in a 19-year-long war that stems from post-colonial tensions and is fueled by LRA claims to have connections with the "good side" of the spirit world. As they fight, more and more people suffer.
More than 50,000 other children are currently at risk of being abducted. More than 90 percent of the population of northern Uganda — 1.6 million people — live in refugee camps. Thousands have been murdered. The UN has called the conflict one of "extreme brutality and callousness." Still, I'm willing to bet that most of you have never heard of it. Though the war in northern Uganda is destroying thousands of lives, a Reuters Alert-Net poll in March 2005 ranked it as the second most ignored, neglected conflict in the world.
We push these stories away they're disturbing; they make us sick. But as we choose ignorance,
I'm not asking you to give your life to working for peace in Uganda. I am asking you to step outside of your normal area of focus for a second and pay attention to the things that may make you a bit squeamish. Take ten minutes to read about a humanitarian emergency. Spend an hour volunteering. Tell someone what you know.
It took the world less than a day to spread the Paris Hilton sex tape. It took us twenty years to hear about the tens of thousands of children in northern Uganda who face war, abduction and forced service in the LRA rebel army, prostitution, hunger, AIDS, homelessness and worse.
children in Uganda are having their innocence and their lives ripped from them with little attention from the international community. The horrors they experience aren't making the news. Outside of Africa, hardly anyone talks about them. They have no one to fight for them, no one to share their stories, and no one to comfort them in their agony.
Which is more important?

Members of the School of Journalism have also come together to help one journalism student who lost everything in the fire.
It's not always physical gifts of time and money that are needed after a tragedy, however.
In the last few weeks, the University community has taken the opportunity to reach out to victims of tragedy both near and far.
In the weeks and months ahead as the inevitable tragedies and disasters occur, it is necessary to look back and remember the impact of the community and to build from the successes.

Sandy Praeger, commissioner of insurance for the Kansas Insurance Department, said the problem with renters' insurance among college students was the misconception they may have concerning their leases.
Alisa Shull, leasing agent for Property Management Services, which manages around 500 properties in the area, said it encouraged renters to purchase renters' insurance.
Renters often think it's the landlord's policy to cover them in the case of a fire or disaster, but it's actually the responsibility of the renter to purchase renters' insurance.
Property Management Services
purs that information in the lease to indicate that the landlord is not responsible for damage that may occur.
Renters' insurance has two types of coverage to protect students, personal property and liability.
Personal property insurance provides the money to replace valuables that are damaged or stolen. Liability insurance protects a renter against a claim or lawsuit involving property damage or an injury that occurs at the property.
Bailey said that University offices such as the Off-Campus Living Resource Center, by providing information such as brochures concerning renters' insurance, could be a catalyst to raising awareness.

Loeb, Environmental Health Services coordinator, said the committee's decision would not be set in stone.
The idea behind shortening the add/drop period is to help students who must wait for other students to drop classes they want to enter, he said.

"It really hurts the students that need a class, to be held back by students who haven't decided to drop," Loeb said.
Brad Nadino/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
There's no reason for a student waiting to get into a class to wait three weeks while another
student is deciding whether to drop the class. Loeb said.
The committee is also considering recommending that students who miss the drop deadline and leave the class later receive a 'WF' or 'WP', depending on if they were passing or failing when they dropped. The designation wouldn't change the student's GPA, but it would appear on their transcript. That's a consequence of little importance. Loeb said.
"It doesn't hurt them if it's only their ego that's hurt," Loeb said. "Probably another school won't even know what it means."

Along with SUA, the performance is part of the Conflict and Creativity Project presented by the center. In conjunction with the performance, an exhibit, "Conflict and Creativity: A Look at Israel and China," will be on display in the center's lobby until Monday.
SUA also sponsored an entire week of events in conjunction with the performance with theme of celebrating Chinese culture. The events included a showing of the film "House of Flying Daggers," a Chinese checkers tournament and a special Chinese tea time where students had an opportunity to meet the Beijing dancers.
"We also don't want any student to not be able to be enriched by this event because of money," she said.

Immediately following the performance, a question-and-answer session for audience members with the artists will follow.

Zac Burson, Marcus' mentor and the program coordinator for the telementor, said teachers often make specific requests for mentors. For example, Alessandra West, a 16-year-old junior at Topeka West High School, approached a teacher at the school about wanting a mentor with writing experience to help her edit a 97,000-word fantasy story she'd written.
Meier and the telementor program found a mentor for her, Victor Rivero, with experience writing for scholarly publications. Rivero found a story contest West could enter and is helping her trim a section of her story to 17,000 words for the contest.
"I definitely wouldn't have thought of this," West said of the contest.
Rose Rodriguez, an art teacher at Eisenhower Middle School, said a mentor counseled a troubled student last year when her 8th-graders worked on a 12-week art project. She said the student normally didn't follow directions and was disruptive in class, but she saw a change during the project.
Meier said, "The kids will often share things with their mentor, a complete stranger, that they won't share with their teachers."
Other times, telementors can help students go through personal problems, just like face-to-face mentors do.

DeLay to face charges in Austin
BY MICHAEL GRACZYK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Accompanied by his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, the former House majority leader showed up about midday, appeared before a judge and was gone in less than 30 minutes, sheriff's Lt. John Martin said.
HOUSTON — Rep. Tom DeLay turned himself in Thursday at the sheriff's office and was fingerprinted, photographed and released on $10,000 bail on conspiracy and money-laundering charges.
"Now Ronnie Earle has the mugshot he wanted," DeGuerin said, referring to the Travis County district attorney who brought the charges. DeLay and his lawyer have accused the district attorney of trying to make headlines for himself.
The Texas Republican is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday in Austin. The charges forced DeLay to give up his House leadership post.
The defense later asked Judge Bob Perkins to step aside and for the trial to be moved out of Travis County. Perkins has donated to causes, and his impartiality might be questioned, the motion said.
The motion listed 34 contributions from Perkins, which included donations to John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate in 2004; MoveOn.org, a liberal advocacy group; and national, state and local Democratic committees.
Earle said he would oppose the motion to move the trial, and criticized the request that the judge step aside.

Offense bound for record book
Lack of touchdowns can score history
KELLIS ROBINETT
KROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
PETER HENRY MCGONDY
The Kansas football team has an offense that could end up being legendary. Of course, the records the Jayhawks might break are in futility and not success.
During the past two weeks, Kansas had by far the worst offensive unit of any team in the country.
None of the other 116 Division I football teams have scored fewer points during that time than the Jayhawks, who only scored a disgraceful six.
Heck, even Division I-AA The Citadel scored a touchdown in a game against Ole Miss two weeks ago. So, really, Kansas should be ranked even lower than 117th.
The sad thing is, the offense getting credit for even those six points doesn't do it justice.
Temple came in a close second with 10 points and Eastern Michigan did its best to claim ownership of the nation's least-effective unit, but still managed to score 11 points.
In actuality, this offense has scored negative points in its past two games. Against Kansas State, it turned the
ball over so deep in its own territory that the Wildcats made a field goal after moving backward.

Last Saturday, senior quarterback Brian Luke threw two early interce-
tions that gave Oklahoma 10 quick points. So, if you take away those 15 points from the six Kansas earned, that's negative seven points during a two-week span. Not even defensive shutouts win those games.
Of course no one keeps track of the points an offense costs a team, so other squads might have coughed up points on offense just as much as Kansas. Still, though, it's hard to imagine any team being worse.
It also has a legitimate chance at being the worst Kansas offense in modern history.
But comparing this year's offense to the rest of the nation is only the beginning.
Sure, Kansas scored more than 30 points in each of its three nonconference games, and for overall season purposes, the offense won't rank that low.
But since Oct. 1, the Jayhawks' offense has been as good at not scoring as anyone. And with a couple more weeks of three-point games, it will score the fewest conference points of any Kansas team since 1986, and have a chance to underscore the legendary

In 1986, Bob Valesenate was in his first year as Kansas football and his team 41 points in a

This year's Kansas offense will end the
season with a total of 35 points in conference games if it continues to score three points in each of its remaining games.
In 1944, the Jayhawks scored 34 points in a five-game Big 6 Conference schedule, under coach Henry Shenk. That year, Kansas was shut out in three conference games but defeated Nebraska 20-0.
With a shutout in just one game — which is a possibility at Colorado, which blanked Oklahoma State earlier this year — Kansas could score fewer points during an eight-game conference season than the 1944 team scored in five.
But it deserves a special place in the record books if the Jayhawk offense continues its epically bad pace. Maybe something with an asterisk so future generations will know it also dragged down a stellar defense.
If the Jawhays could move the ball on offense, or ever establish a lead, the KU defense would have a chance to set some records of its own.
During the past two weeks Kansas had by far the worst offensive unit of any team in the country. None of the other 116 Division I football teams have scored fewer points during that time than the Jayhawks, who only scored a disgraceful six.

Jayhawks need victories in last three games

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansas needs a push.
With only three regular season games remaining, Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said now was the time to win in order to have a chance at winning back-to-back conference championships.
"We're in a situation where we have to win our last three games," Francis said. "In terms of the postseason and trying to make the NCAA tournament we've got to win."
For the first time this season, a Kansas soccer game will be broadcast on the television. College Sports Television (CSTV) will broadcast the game against Texas on tape delay Tuesday.
The Jayhawks (8-6-2, 4-3-1 Big 12 Conference) will have home games against Colorado College today at 3 p.m. and Texas on Sunday at 1 p.m. to determine what the end of the seasons holds.

a Kansas soccer game will be broadcast on television. College Sports Television (CSTV) will broadcast the game against Texas on tape delay Tuesday.
On the home front, Kansas is averaging a 44 percent shot-on-goal rate and has allowed just 18 goals to its own 29.
Senior forward Caroline Smith needs just one goal this weekend to put her at 50 career goals scored. She is currently the 5th all-time Big 12 goal scorer. She enters the weekend with seven goals and 18 points.
despite a loss to Colorado last week. Hanley is looking to take over the starting goalkeeper spot after starting in goal the past two weeks.
Freshman goal keeper Julie Hanley holds a 4-1 record with a goals allowed against of .74.
"You always have to be on your toes," Hanley said earlier in the season.
Kansas returns to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex to play against a well-rested Colorado College squad. The Tigers last action came on Oct. 7 in a 1-0 victory against Texas Tech.
"We're playing well at the right time and I think that's key," Francis said.

Kansas hopes to pick up pieces in Waco

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas has won six of its past seven matches against Baylor, which it will see on Saturday, but Kansas also has to overcome a four-match losing streak heading into the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.
During the losing streak, the Jayhawks (12-7, 4-6 Big 12) dropped to sixth in the league after their latest loss, a four-game defeat at the hands of Iowa State Wednesday night.
First serve is set for 7 p.m.
Kansas defeated Baylor 3-0 on Sept. 24 in Lawrence. Baylor put up a tough fight despite bowing out in just three games. Two of those games went to extra points before the Iavhawks won.
At the time, the Jayhawks

and Bears appeared to be two teams going in opposite directions. Since that match, however, Baylor has posted a better record than Kansas. The Bears are 2-5, while the Jayhawks are 1-5.
Last year, the teams split the season series with each team
winning at home. Kansas is just 1-2 on the road in league play this season. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he had not lost sight of that fact.
Baylor (11-10, 3-7 Big 12) is coming off a road victory at Texas A&M on Wednesday night. The Bears defeated the Aggies 3-1 for their first victory in College Station, Texas, since 1992.
"It will be very tough," he said. "There isn't an easy place to play on the road this year, but teams have gone on the road and won this year, and that's going to be our attitude."
Junior outside hitter Nicole LeBlanc is seventh in the conference with 3.72 kills per game for Baylor. In addition, junior middle blocker Desiree Guiliard-Yount is playing well after missing the early portion
of the season with an injury. The preseason all-conference selection has recorded 10 or more kills in three of her past five matches.
Bechard said the Jayhawks had to move on despite the injury to junior outside hitter Jana Correa.
"I don't see that in the back of our players' minds," Bechard said. "We've talked about new roles and what they need to be. I'm not sure we've played the best we can play in this situation vet."
Senior middle blocker Josi Lima said the Jayhawks were on the right path to getting back in the victory column.

Quarterback runaround
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
BY ERIC OLSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nebraska quarterback brings new style to game
LINCOLN, Neb. — No one would confuse the running of Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor with that of Missouri's Brad Smith.
With his 4.98-second speed in the 40-yard dash, Taylor doesn't earn many style points. In fact, he says other quarterbacks on the team make fun of him for the way he lumbers around.
But Taylor has been surprisingly efficient when he's forced, or chooses, to make yards with his feet instead of his arm.
"To be honest, this is the first year I've ever really run the ball," Taylor said. "In previous years I've probably run one time a year. Usually, when I did, I had no idea what I was doing, so I probably looked goofy."
Taylor, who transferred last winter from Butler County Community College in El Dorado, was brought in because his passing ability made him a good match for the Cornhuskers' offensive system.
His ability to make something out of nothing when pass protection breaks down has been a bonus.
Taylor has had at least one running attempt gain 10 yards or more in each of the last four games. He ran five times for 30 yards in last week's 23-14 win at Baylor.
"He knows what he's doing," coach Bill Callahan said. "I just want to make sure he protects himself. He has a pretty good feel for where the first-down marker is, so if he does extend forward and he does go head first and decides to 'Pete Rose' it, I'm all right with that."
The Cornhuskers on Saturday will play against one of the premier running quarterbacks in NCAA history in Smith. Smith has run 108 times, almost twice as much as the next closest rusher on his team, for 619 yards and six touchdowns.
Take away the 11 times Taylor has been sacked — those are counted as rushing attempts — and he has run 16 times for 81 yards and one TD.
comfortable taking off when protection folds.
"I think in the beginning of the season I was sitting in the pocket too long and just taking sacks when I could have gotten a yard or two extra," he said. "Now I think I just see it better. I can tell now when linebackers who would normally have their eyes on me are watching guys across the field, so it gives me a good opportunity to pick up seven or eight vards on a run."
Callahan said he's glad to see Taylor freelance at times.
Taylor said he has become more
But other than occasions when a play is meant to have a moving pocket, don't look for Taylor to have running plays designed for him.
"You watch all these other quarterbacks around the country, and they're running counter plays up inside like tailbacks with this spread system." Callahan said.
"So for a little scramble where he ducks and dives and nips and tucks a little bit, that's OK. But we're not going to feature him on any quarterback draws or any counter plays or anything like that."
RUNNING Marathon hopefuls encounter delay
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Runners who had hoped to qualify for the Boston Marathon based on their times in a Kansas City race that turned out to have been a bit too short can still apply to enter the event.
It was discovered after the Kansas City Marathon on Sept. 24 that due to an error, the course runners followed was a little over four-tenths of a mile short of the official marathon distance of 26.2 miles.
The Boston race, held every April, has a maximum field of 20,000 runners. To qualify, they must have run another approved marathon within a minimum time based on their age and sex. Thirty who ran at Kansas City were thought to have been on a pace that would qualify them.

CROSS COUNTRY
High-ranking runners
High-ra KU joins CU UT in top 15 of NCAA poll
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
amendoza@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
This season's Mondo Men's Cross Country Rankings has put Kansas through a roller coaster of rankings.
After the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 24 in Minneapolis, Minn., the Jayhawks were ranked No. 24. Then, Kansas did not compete for three weeks and dropped four spots to No. 28. But after Saturday's fourth-place finish in the NCAA Pre-Nationals Invitational, the men's team jumped 15 spots to claim the No. 13 ranking in the nation.
It's the first time this season the cross country team has been ranked
in the top 15. The only other Big 12 Schools that are ranked ahead of Kansas are Colorado at No.3 and Texas at No.12.
"We are very excited about it," sophomore Colby Wissel said. "I think it's a great honor to be recognized that way, but at the same time, I think we're most excited at the fact that we haven't put our best race together. There is still plenty of room for improvement."
Earlier this season, Kansas cross country coach Stanley Redwine said the main goal for this year's cross country team was to make it to the NCAA Championship.
Doug Clark, Kansas assistant cross country coach, said the rankings looked nice, but the team still had to make it to the NCAA Championship.
"The ranking is definitely a big positive for the program, Clark said. "It is definitely indicative how the guys are doing now and I'm really happy they are getting
the recognition for doing such a good job. But the bottom line is it has no bearing whether or not we go to nationals."
There are two ways for a team to qualify for the national championship. Kansas will race in the Midwest Regional Championship on Nov. 12 in Iowa City, Iowa. The top two teams from each of the nine regions automatically qualify. Thirteen additional at-large spots are filled by the teams with the most points. A team receives a point for every team it beats in the regular season.
Kansas has this weekend off and will be heading to Waco, Texas, on Oct. 28 to race in the Big 12 Championship.
Last season, then junior Benson Chesang won the men Big 12 Championship. The men placed fourth and the women placed tenth.

Texas-Texas Tech game year's best match-up
Kellis: Before the 2005 college football season, most people circled the Texas vs. Oklahoma game as the one that would decide the Big 12 South. But it looks like Saturday's game between Texas Tech and Texas is the Big 12 game of the year.
Travis: Yep. Both teams take undefeated records, top-10 rankings and high-scoring offenses into the game that will all but decide the Big 12 South champion.
Kellis: I took Texas. I see you did as well, along with the rest of the sports staff. Why isn't anyone giving Texas Tech a chance?
Travis: Texas is clearly the better team, has the home-field advantage and the best player in the country — junior quarterback Vince Young. This game could be close if it was in Lubbock, Texas, but it will be tough for Texas Tech to get any momentum without crowd support.
Kellis: I think the Red Raiders will give the Longhorns a game. Two years ago, when they hooked up in Austin, Texas needed a last-second drive to win the game. Do you know who led that drive?
Travis: It was Chance Mock, and yes, I realize Texas benched Young in favor of him. But Young was just a freshman and not a Heisman Trophy candidate. During the last two years, he's led numerous fourth-quarter

comebacks. And besides, this game won't be close.
Kellis; It will go down to the wire. Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges threw for more than 600 yards last week against Kansas State. It would take this year's Kansas quarterbacks almost a year to throw for that many yards.
Kellis: No argument here. But I do think Colorado blows the game open in the second half and wins by more than 20 points.
Travis: True, this week will be more of the same from the Jayhawks. Their defense will keep it close until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, but their offense will once again lose the game.
Travis: You're not giving our defense enough credit. Let's talk about a game with a questionable outcome, like Nebraska at Missouri.
Kellis: Missouri has clawed its way back into contention for the Big 12 North title, but the Tigers have no defense. The Cormuskers will pull one out in Columbia, Mo.
overtime. Both teams seem improved from last season, especially Nebraska. History indicates Nebraska will win by name alone.
Kellis: Well, Baylor and Oklahoma are about as far apart historically as teams can be, but I'm taking Baylor.
Travis: This is the first time since the Big 12 formed that Baylor has a chance to beat Oklahoma. The Sooners are playing at home, though, and their fans would never forgive them if they lost to the Bears.
Travis: This game looks to go into
Kellis: Not so fast. Baylor went into Kyle Field and all but defeated Texas A&M. Then Baylor went into Iowa State and won. The Bears will continue their one-game road winning streak.
Travis: Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops won't let his team lose this game.
Kellis: Well, who do you like in the battle of Aggies? I'm taking the Texas A&M Aggies leave Manhattan with a victory over the Kansas State Wildcats.
Travis: Texas A&M has an offense. Kansas State doesn't. Plus, I just don't like the Wildcats after my trip to Manhattan two weeks ago.

Coaches announce hall-of-fame plans
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With CBS announcer Billy Packer tossing out trivia questions about basketball founder James Naismith, and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski suggesting wryly that one interactive attraction might be instructive for sportswriters, organizers of the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame unveiled details of the $20 million project on Thursday.
"It is our purpose and hope to immerse every visitor into college basketball," Jim Haney, the executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, said at a luncheon enclosed by Packer. "The Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame is an element of that...but this is not going to be just some staid, reverent place for remembering the coaches, players, contributors and teams who made college basketball what it is today."
Once College Basketball: the Experience is complete, exhibits honoring college basketball's greats will be on the first floor. On the second floor, visitors will find multimedia exhibits designed to recreate the atmosphere of the college game — by putting them into the action.
The hall itself will take up only about a quarter of the 40,000 square-foot facility, dubbed "College Basketball: the Experience," which is to be incorporated into Kansas City's new downtown arena, the Sprint Center.
The Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame is expected to announce its first inductees at the 2006 Final Four, Haney said, with induction ceremonies next fall.
The NABC has committed to raise $10 million toward College Basketball the Experience. The rest will come from the city, under the bond issue that is financing the $250 million Sprint Center.
Sophomore forward Lisa Balsamla leads her offense with six goals and 14 points on the season.

St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher Mark Mulder talks with reporters in the team's clubhouse Thursday. Mulder and members of the Cardinals baseball team return to Busch Stadium for the last time to pack their personal items. Busch Stadium will be torn down and a new stadium is under construction.
Freshman goal keeper Geneva Sills will likely start for Colorado College. She has racked up 83 saves this season, keeping her GAA at 82. Colorado College is an independent school and the outcome of today's game will have no effect on the Big 12 conference standings. Francis said the match was still important for momentum.
Two games in the last three years required overtime to decide a victor.
James A. Finley/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's going to be an important game to get us back on track," Francis said.
Kansas' 1-0 loss to Colorado knocked the team slightly off track last Sunday. Texas (8-6-1, 5-3-0 Big 12) comes to Lawrence on Sunday second in the Big 12, behind Colorado.
The Longhorns enter the weekend on a three-match winning streak, most recently shutting out Nebraska in overtime, 1-0, on Sunday. Texas is allowing less than a goal per game, sitting right at .98.

"It's always a big rivalry," Francis said. "Our last two or three games have been very close. I don't imagine Sunday will be any different."
Texas standout keeper Dianna Fpenninger picked up her second Big 12 Newcomer of the Week accolade this week. She has 43 saves and a GAA of .89. The televised match against Texas on Sunday is quarter hot dog night at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Cardinals end era in stadium
MLB
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The ticket brochure for the St. Louis Cardinals' final season at Busch Stadium read "Saying goodbye has never been so much fun." It was fun while it lasted, anyway, for a 100-win team that fell two games short of its dream to make it to consecutive World Series.
And in the mostly businesslike moving day at the 40-year-old ballpark where the tearing-down process has already begun, players made the most of a somber situation.
Jim Edmonds livened up the proceedings by performing doughnuts with his truck in center field. his old position.
Game 6 loser Mark Mulder wore a T-shirt with the inscription "Whatever," which describes perfectly his baseball philosophy, as he explained.
"If I have a bad outing or even a good one, it's over with, it's done with good or bad, and move on," Mulder said. "You can't sit here and dwell on it and worry about it and get frustrated about it.
"You move on to next year and get yourself more prepared."
For manager Tony La Russa,
it was a somewhat sour ending
The Cardinals fell in a sixgame NL championship series to a wild-card team that finished 11 games behind them in the Central Division. They suffered an offensive letdown similar to what happened in the World Series last fall when they got swept by the Red Sox. St. Louis batted 209 in the NLCS, totaling six runs in the four losses, and going 6-for-38 with runners in scoring position overall.
Against the Red Sox they batted .190 after entering the postseason with the most fearsome lineup in the majors. That attack was not nearly as imposing entering this postseason without Scott Rolen, and with Larry Walker and Reggie Sanders both battling injuries.
to a great regular season, not unlike last year. Mostly, he said, the team ran into superior pitching.
"I think there's a strong segment of our support that marks your season with not even getting to the World Series but winning it," La Russa said. "So, with that group we failed. We've got to be more realistic as an organization, and coaches and players."
Sanders had 12 RBIs in his first four playoff games, but wasn't himself after taking an awkward spill at the warning track in Game 2 of the NLCS.
He went 1-for-12 in his last three games with seven strikeouts. Walker, 38, who required four cortisone shots for a herniated disc in his neck, was 3-for-28 in the postseason and announced his retirement after the final game.
Rolen was a uniformed spectator after undergoing a second shoulder operation in late August that's expected to get him to spring training ready to go.
"I can't lift my arms, so there's not much I can do about it," Rolen said. "I couldn't control what happened and I'm not
going to kick rocks at my head about it."
Subtracting Walker, a former three-time NL batting champion, isn't the only change the team faces.
The pitching staff could face a makeover or at least some tough financial decisions. Matt Morris is due for free agency; Jason Marquis is arbitration-eligible, and the team holds options on Mulder and 16-game winner Jeff Suppan. Morris is the longest tenured Cardinal, completing his ninth season.
Morris would have opposed Roger Clemens in Game 7.
"Sure, I'd love to come back," Morris said. "It's a business decision so we'll see what happens."
For now, 21-game winner Chris Carpenter is the only lock to return.
“It’s tough to see the guys that aren’t going to be back go,” Carpenter said. “But that’s the business of the game and I’m sure when we get to spring training we'll be ready to go.”
Second baseman Mark Grudzielanek, part of a tandem with shortstop David Eckstein that helped the Cardinals lead the major leagues in double plays, can be a free agent.
Sanders and reliever Julian Tavarez, both of whom found a home in St. Louis after years of a nomadic existence, also are not under contract for next year.
"Of course I would like to stay here," Tavarez said. "It's not fun, I can tell you that, playing one year here and one year there. I just hope they can bring me back, but if they don't I guess I'll have to go someplace else."
Pretty soon, all they'll have from the last season at Busch is memories. Workers began removing seats, press box television sets, and outfield wall padding from the stadium. The wrecking ball is scheduled to start knocking down the cookie-cutter park that opened on May 12, 1966, in about three weeks.

People magazine published the photos, taken last week in Chicago, in its Oct. 31 issue, on newsstands today.
Reports have swirled for months that the two actors were an item.
Previously, though, it was impossible to separate fiction from reality since they were at work filming "The Break Up."
A call to Aniston's publicist was not immediately returned.
This time, the co-stars were without a film crew while they spent several days together in Chicago.
Vaughn co-starred earlier this year with Pitt and Angelina Jolie in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." It was then that reports of a romance between Pitt and Jolie began, which were later corroborated by photographs and public spotings.
Her divorce from Brad Pitt became final Oct. 2, concluding 4 1/2 years of marriage.
In interviews, Aniston, 36,
has denied a relationship with
Vaughn. 35.
In this month's Elle, she said, "He's delicious and funny ... but I don't want to be a rebound girl."
Last month, she said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" that she was ready to date again. In response to Winfrey's query about Vaughn, Aniston responded, "Oh, Oprah!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Friday, Oct. 21, 2005: You could have an amazing year, as long as you don't get stuck in black-and-white thinking. In fact, your ability to get past rigidity and a need for control determine the quality of your daily life. Detach and take the high road. Learn to understand where others are coming from. Your creativity surges, and others respond to your charm, magnetism and imagination. If you are single, and if you want to, you can kiss that status goodbye. You certainly won't be alone. If you are attached, avoid petty arguments. What is more important than being with the one you love? Who cares about details? GEMINI opens you up to different experiences.

believes. Remember, two minds work better than one. You don't have to be in control or right all the time. Tonight: Treat a friend to munchies and a drink.
***** Your imagination, combined with your high vitality, makes you an unstoppable force. Others won't be able to trip you up. Some people might not always agree. Don't make it a big deal; work with suggestions and tighten up an idea. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

★★★★★ You get what you want because of your flexibility, energy and creativity. You need to drop the word "impossible" from your vocabulary. You might face a challenge or two, but you'll jump right over them. Tonight: As you wish.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ You might not want to, but you might need to take charge of a key situation. Your creativity and abilities come out at work as well as within your immediate circle. A family member or real estate issue could be troublesome. Tonight: It let go.
***** Distance yourself from a situation, and you will naturally make the right choices. Unlock yourself from rigid thinking, and you could easily open a new door. Let your imagination flow, and express more of your feelings. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

***** You have the imagination and intellect to jump through hoops and make the right decisions. It might be best not to evaluate others' unusual behavior but to simply work with them. You have answers. Imagine where others are coming from. Tonight: Time to let your hair down.
★★★ You might want to prioritize your plans for today. You will naturally focus on personal matters, but at what cost? You could get some flak from a boss, parent or someone you have to answer to. Someone is really into you. Tonight: Head home.

Hurricane moves up start of Chiefs game
Miami, Kansas City to play tonight to avoid Wilma

MIAMI — The game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs was rescheduled to tonight to beat Hurricane Wilma's arrival in Florida.
BY TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The game will begin at 7 p.m. tonight instead of Sunday afternoon, which is about when Wilma is expected to hit Florida's southwestern coast.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said broadcast and television details were being worked out.
It's the third time since the start of the 2004 season that the Dolphins have rescheduled a home game because of a looming hurricane. Last year's home opener against Tennessee was played a day early because of Hurricane Ivan, and the Dolphins' game two weeks later with Pittsburgh was pushed back 7 1/2 hours by Hurricane Jeanne.
"We have to do what the league tells us," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said Wednesday, when asked about the possibility of a schedule switch. "That's the way this league is run ... I'm not going to sit here and make it a big problem for my football team and my coaching staff. We'll just do what we're instructed to do."
It's the third time since the start of the 2004 season that the Dolphins have rescheduled a home game because of a looming hurricane.
Alan Diaz/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wilma's progress slowed a bit Thursday, and forecasters who originally thought the giant system could start a potentially devastating path across the Florida peninsula by Saturday now believe landfall in the Sunshine State may not occur until
Meanwhile, the Florida Panthers — who planned on making an announcement at noon Thursday about their game with Ottawa on Saturday night — delayed any final decisions and continued monitoring the storm's path.
Panthers spokesman Justin Cortpertino said team officials are in regular contact with the NHL, and that a scheduling decision was expected by early Thursday evening.

Dolphins Stadium employee Thomas Wilson paints the field Thursday in Miami in preparation for a game against the Kansas City Chiefs tonight. The game, originally scheduled to be played Sunday, will now be played tonight because of the approach of Hurricane Wilma.
Still, the storm was a Category 4 - severe enough that Gov. Jeb Bush declared a state of emergency.
Wilma's pending arrival has affected virtually every athletic event scheduled for the Sunshine State this weekend.
The Nationwide Tour's Miccosukee Championship in Miami was canceled. The Georgia Tech-Miami and West Virginia-South Florida football games were postponed from Saturday; the Yellow
jackets and Hurricanes will play Nov. 19, the Mountaineers and Bulls on Dec. 3. And Central Florida will host Tulane — a team whose school was ravaged by Katrina earlier this year — tonight, one day ahead of schedule.

Jayhawks need to buff up their offense
KU Blitz
AT A GLANCE
After starting the season 3-0, the Jayhawks have struggled mightily. The Jayhawks scored more than 30 points in each of their nonconference games, but are averaging barely seven points in Big 12 play. The team now stands at 3-3, and if its offense continues to be non-existent, it will be difficult for Kansas to win another game this season.
LAST TIME OUT
There was nearly no offensive performance in Kansas' 19-3 loss to Oklahoma last week. The Kansas defense once again excelled, led by senior linebacker Nick Reid, but the offense was not able to capitalize on the good field position set up by the defense for the second week in a row.
- Junior cornerback Charles Gordon. Gordon got his first two interceptions of the season last week, and also played on special teams and as a wide receiver. Gordon is the definition of a versatile player and will need to be special again this week, especially on offense, if the Jayhawks are going to have a chance.

LOOKING FORWARD
3 Straight losses for the Jayhawks since beginning the season 3-0.
A loss would back Kansas into a corner. The Jayhawks need three more victories to gain bowl eligibility, and falling below. 500 will make every game a must-win. A victory, on the other hand, would put them in perfect shape for a postseason berth. If Kansas could go into Colorado and win, the question might change to what bowl will the team be going to.
KEY TO VICTORY.
Offense, offense, offense. If the Jayhawks are going to win, their offense is going to have to at least score one touchdown. The Kansas defense can't stay on the field as long as it has in the past two weeks, for nearly two thirds of the game. If the offense can cut the defense some slack, the Jayhawks may have a chance to upset the Buffaloes.
Kansas vs. Colorado 6 p.m., Saturday, Folsom Field
Kansas
OFFENSE
Some fans thought that the Kansas offense couldn't get any worse after its lackluster performance against Kansas State, but the Oklahoma game last weekend proved otherwise. The offense accumulated just 97 yards of total offense. Senior quarterback Brian Luke turned the ball over four times with three interceptions and a fumble. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino claims that the team's quarterback situation has not changed since last week, meaning Luke may start again. Mangino, however, talked a lot this week about senior Jason Swanson's progress.
DEFENSE
DEFENSE
KU KU KU KU
The Kansas defense is the clear opposite of its offensive counterpart. It has become one of the best defenses in the country. The team is second in the Big 12 and fourth nationally in rushing defense, giving up an average of less than 70 yards per contest. Senior linebacker Nick Reid leads the Jayhawks and the conference in tackles with 69 so far. The defense has set up the offense with great field position all season to no avail. The defense will need another stellar performance this week if the Jayhawks are going to have any chance.
SPECIAL TEAMS
KU KU KU
SPECIALTEAMS
ku
Junior cornerback Charles Gordon had many great punt returns last week, including one that he nearly took to the end zone. With the offense sputtering, it may take a Gordon punt return to get the Jayhawks a victory. Sophomore kicker Scott Webb has been nearly perfect this season, with his only miss coming from beyond 40 yards. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker is coming off his best performance of the season, when he averaged almost 50 yards per punt against Oklahoma. On the season, Tucker is averaging 44.5 yards per punt and has had 12 kicks from inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
COACHES
Mangino's experiment using multiple quarterbacks did not work in the
Colorado
OFFENSE
The Buffaloes are led on offense by senior quarterback Joel
Klatt. Klatt is one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the conference and has started 28 career games at Colorado. This season, Klatt ranks second in the Big 12 Conference in passing yards per game with nearly 240 yards per game. Klatt's best game of the year came two weeks ago against Texas A&M when Klatt threw for 398 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Klatt is joined in the backfield by sophomore running back Hugh Charles. Charles is also having a good season this year and ranks fourth in the conference in rushing yards with 525. Charles has also scored five touchdowns on the season.
DEFENSE
[ ] [ ] [ ]
Colorado's defense was having a great season until last weekend when it had to face Texas and its
quarterback Vince Young. The Buffaloes had a hard time containing Young, and the Longhorns' offense scored 42 points. Before that, Colorado had shut out two opponents, including Oklahoma State on the road. Colorado coach Gary Barnett said earlier in the week that junior safety J.J. Billingley was the heart and soul of the Buffaloes' defense. Billingsley was named a freshman All-American three seasons ago and is in the top 10 in a lot of Colorado career defensive categories. This season, Billingsley has 39 total tackles and one sack. Junior linebacker Thad Washington leads the team in tackles this season with 46 total tackles and also has two sacks.
SPECIALTEAMS
Sophomore Garrett Hartley will handle the kicking duties for the Sooners this weekend. Hartley hit a career-long 52-yard field goal last weekend against Texas and is 7-10 on the season. Sophomore Cody Freeby is in his first season as Oklahoma's punter. He is averaging more than 41 yards per punt. Smith and Wilson will handle the kick return duties, and senior wide receiver Jejuan Rankins is the team's punt returner. Rankins is averaging more than 11 yards per return.
Colorado coach Gary Barnett has had his fair share of troubles off the field at Colorado but has been a winner on the field. Under Barnett, Colorado has captured three Big 12 North division championships and won the entire conference in 2001. His career record at Colorado is 42-33 and has led his team to four bowl games in his six seasons at the school. The Associated Press named Barnett Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2004. In his career, Barnett has led his teams to 11 bowl games. Before coming to Colorado, Barnett led Northwestern to its first Rose Bowl game in 47 years.

ATAGLANCI
- Colorado is in a three-way tie for the top spot in the Big 12 North with Nebraska and Missouri at 2-1 in conference play. Colorado's conference season got off to a good start with a 34-0 pounding of Oklahoma State on the road. The Buffaloes have already played their three teams from the South division and will only play North teams for the remainder of the season.
LAST TIME OUT
Colorado traveled to Austin, Texas, last weekend to play No. 2 Texas. The game didn't turn out well for the team, as Colorado lost 42-17. Quarterback Joel Klatt struggled against the Longhorns defense, throwing for less than 200 yards and an interception. The Buffaloes also had a hard time running the ball, as running back Hugh Charles was held to just 40 yards.
- J.J Billingley is one of the top safeties in the conference, and if he is making plays in the defensive backfield it will make it hard for the Kansas quarterbacks to get on track. Billingley is also one of the harder hitters in the conference and likes to intimidate wide receivers.

37 The number of career field goals by place kicker Mason Crosby. Crosby has hit a number of last minute field goals to secure victories for Colorado.
34:42 The average time of possession this season for Colorado.
TOOKING FORWARD
- A Colorado loss would seriously damage its chances at winning the North division. This is a game that Colorado can't afford to lose at home. A Colorado victory would give the team control of its own destiny to the North championship with games still to come against Nebraska and Missouri.
KLY TO VICTORY
The Buffaloes have to shut down the Kansas offense early. If the Jayhawks start to move the ball and score points, look for the Jayhawk defense to start dominating the Buffaloes offense. If the Colorado defense can shut down the Kansas offense and keep the defense out on the field with long, productive drives, this game could get out of hand.

Texas Tech at Texas
When: Saturday, 2:30 p.m.
Where: Austin, Texas
Why: This is the premier game in the Big 12 Conference this weekend. Both teams enter the game ranked in the top 10 and, for all intensive purposes, the big 12 South title is on the line. Texas Tech pounded Kansas State 59-20 last weekend and is a perfect 6-0 on the season, the same mark as Texas, which is riding a 13-game winning streak coming into this weekend's game dating back to last year: it's the second longest streak in the country, behind No. 1 USC.

Why: This is a critical game in the Big 12 North division. Both teams are tied atop the division with Colorado. Missouri回升 quarterback Chase Daniel is likely to see more time this weekend after leading the Tigers to come-from-behind victory last weekend against Iowa State. Starting quarterback Brad Smith was knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter, but is expected to start. Nebraska is ranked first in the country in rush defense, allowing just 65 yards a game.

When: Saturday, 1:10 p.m.
Where: Manhattan
Why: The loser of this game will most likely fall out of contention in its respective division. Kansas State enters the game 1-2 in conference play and needs a victory to keep pace with Colorado, Missouri and Nebraska. Texas A&M is 2-1 in conference play and trails Texas and Texas Tech by just a game, and still plays both teams this season. The Aggies are coming off a 62-23 victory against Oklahoma State last weekend, while Kansas State loat to Texas Tech 59-20. Texas A&M won last year's contest 42-30 at home.

Baylor at Oklahoma
When: Saturday, 6 p.m.
Where: Norman, Okla.
Why: Baylor isn't the automatic victory it once was for opponents. Baylor has played all three conference games close this season, and won its first-ever conference road game earlier this season at Iowa State. Last week, Baylor played Nebraska to a nine-point game and was in it until the fourth quarter. Oklahoma isn't the powerhouse it was last season, but is still .500 on the season after beating Kansas 19-3 last weekend. The big question surrounding the Sooners is the health of running back Adrian Peterson. Oldahoma coach Bob Stoops said the team is taking it day-to-day with Peterson, and expects him to play this weekend.
Indiana State
8
Why: Both teams are searching for their first conference victory of the season. Oklahoma State has struggled this season to keep games close. In its first conference game of the season, the team lost at home 34-0 to Colorado and last week allowed more than 60 points to Texas A&M. Iowa State has played three close ball games and lost to Nebraska on the road in overtime 27-20, then dropped a 23-13 game at home against Baylor and, last weekend, lost another overtime thriller 27-24 at Missouri. If Iowa State looses again, its once-promising bowl hopes will be fading quickly.

Performing live on a Saturday night, attending two parties afterward with Catherine Zeta-Jones that "accidentally" last until 1 a.m. and then getting on a plane later that morning to perform again on Sunday night is all part of a day's work for Kenan Thompson and Seth Mevers.

The two comedians talked about what it's like to deliver a live performance on national television every week, what sketches they like the best that got cut, why they like performing for college students and their future plans.

The owners of the Moon Bar, located on the 800 block of Iowa, have put their property on sale.
Moon Bar property up for sale
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Xin Li "Sonny" Liu, owner of the land since 2003, said he had already owned four restaurants and had no time to take care of the Moon Bar. Liu owns Royal Peking Restaurant, 711 W. 23rd St., and TryYaki, 701 W. 23rd St. in Lawrence and two others in Manhattan.
The plot of land where the Moon Bar used to be is for sale.
Liu began leasing the property, 821 to 831 Iowa St., in April. Now he wants to get rid of it all together; the building, parking lot and the land west of the building.
He said he would like to see the nearly 40,000-square-foot site sell for about $1.25 million because of the location. He said everything was brand new when he bought the building.
Heather Kirchhheser, a realtor at Realty Executives Hedges Real Estate, is working to sell the property for Liu. She said she has been doing business with Sonny for a while.
"He had several other restaurants, but was still at the Moon Bar every night until three or four in the morning," Kirchheser said. "Sonny wasn't getting much sleep. He was working all day and night, and just got tired."
Several developers are interested in the property, Kirchheser said. She said she received calls from restaurateurs, dentists, bar owners, developers and an eye doctor.
She said the property was advantageous to own because the land's site-plan, which was made in 2003, allows the owner to build a six-unit apartment complex three bedrooms and two baths in each unit — to the west of the bar.
A site-plan is decided by Landplan Engineering, an engineering consulting company. A consultant looks at the square footage of the lot and decides what can feasibly be done. Whatever is built on the land must be approved by the city, but at this point an apartment complex is possible, Kirchheser said.

Baylor University sophomore Travis Plummer tours the Spencer Museum of Art on Saturday afternoon with other student leaders from schools in the Big 12 Conference. The weekend's inclement weather forced the cancellation of the planned community service events. Eleven schools sent representatives.
The event, which the University played host to for the first time since the Big 12 was formed, brought 53 students representing each school in the conference, except the University of Colorado because of a scheduling conflict, to Lawrence. Students started arriving on Thursday and stayed until Sunday.
Last year the conference was held at the University of Nebraska. Students at the conference bid on where it will next be held.
The conference included tours of campus, Allen Fieldhouse and the Spencer Museum of Art. There were discussion sessions on issues such as campus transportation, higher education funding and community outreach.
Student leaders from throughout the Big 12 Conference came to campus this weekend to meet one another, swap ideas and tour the University at a conference of student leaders.

Oct. 27, 1962 - "Kansas Comet"
Gale Sayers, sophomore halfback, rushed for 283 yards against Oklahoma State, breaking records at University of Kansas and the Big 8 Conference.
His contribution could hardly have come at a better time for the Jayhawks. A string of injuries had strained their morale before the fight against the Cowboys. The University Daily Kansan reported in October 1962 that three players in the secondary unit had injured their ankles or knees.
A victory was important for both teams to stay in the race for the Big 8 Title. The Cowboys led 17-7 in the first half, according to the KU History Project's Web site.
DID YOU KNOW?
Enter Gale Sayers.
Sayers also rushed onto the film scene in 1971 in a television-movie, "Brian's Song" inspired from his football experiences. Sayers became friends with running back Brian Piccolo when both played as Chicago Bears. This friendship marked the first time in the franchise's history that two people of different races roomed together, according to the KU History Project's Web site. The film starred Billy Dee Williams as the black Sayers and James Caan as the white Piccolo.
He carried the ball 21 times for 283 yards, breaking the previous year's record of 270, the Kansan reported. Coach Jack Mitchell called it the greatest comeback victory he had seen because the Jayhawks won 36-17. He scored a goal and coach 1,600 football teams, but
"I could live to be 100 years old and coach 1,000 football teams, but there would never be a victory that would match that one," he said.
there would never be a victory that would matter.
After the game, Sayers earned the nickname the "Kansas Comet." He set seven NFL records, scored 22 touchdowns in 1965 and earned an induction at age 34 into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
And ESPN article wrote, Sayers is remembered for his astonishing speed and "cuts" in changing directions to elude tacklers. Bill Cosby once described him as "the man who splits himself in half and leaves the half without the football with the tackler."

Oct. 29, 1994 - Spooner Hall Celebrates Centennial
The University's oldest academic building turned 100 years old
The University's oldest academic building turned 100 years old. William Spooner, a Boston philanthropist and merchant, died in 1880 and left the University nearly $100,000 in his will. This amount marked the largest donation ever made to a state university, Robert Taft noted in his book, "The Years on Mount Oread."
his book. The Years on Mount Great But the money wouldn't be given to the University for more than a decade.
The will that would finance Spooner Hall's construction was so complicated that it took 11 years to find its recipient. Taft wrote that the estate's executor could not transmit the bequest until he had deciphered the will. The University received the gift in the fall of 1891.
The University received the gift of a new library, according to the KU History Project's Web site. The building honored Spooner's memory by bearing his name. When it opened in 1894, Spooner Library met with high recognition and praise. The national magazine Harper's Weekly called it "simple in construction, convenient, adequate in its detail and thoroughly modern in design."
Despite its promising beginning — the Kansas Alumni magazine noted it featured electric lighting only 13 years after the light bulb's invention — Spooner Library's collection quickly outgrew the building.
1990 When it was added to the Library of Congress Today Spooner Hall houses the University's anthropological collections, formerly kept in Blake Hall, according to the Web site.
Watson Library opened as a replacement in 1924, and Spooner gained new life as the Spooner-Thayer Art Museum, according to the magazine. However, the collection again outgrew its home. In 1978, Spooner yielded again to its second replacement, the Helen Foresman Spencer Museum of Art, according to the Web site. Spooner Hall earned a spot in history in 1990 when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

NEWYORK — Madonna is worried that her secret wasn't juicy enough.
When her new documentary, "I'm Going to Tell You A Secret," premiered in New York, she said she was nervous the audience wouldn't like it.
"It was like, 'Oh my God, oh my God, I hope I did the right thing. Oh, that scene is too long. Oh, that's too short. Are they going to get this part? Are they going to like this? Oh, they're going to think it's boring! Just worrying the whole way, biting my fingernails off," she told ABC News Radio.
The documentary, which aired Friday on MTV, is a behind-the-scenes look at Madonna's "Re-Invention Tour."
Judge could throw out conviction of Sizemore
LOS ANGELES — A judge wants the city attorney's office to show why Tom Sizemore's conviction for beating former girlfriend and Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss should not be thrown out, according to the actor's attorneys.
The 44-year-old actor has appealed his conviction, arguing that a photograph of Fleiss with facial bruises may have been fabricated.The photograph was taken in April 2003 byTara Dabrizzi, a friend of Fleiss, who didn't testify at Sizemore's trial.
Sizemore's attorney, Michael J. Rovell, said they had been unable to find Dabrizi, who left the U.S. the day after taking the photo. The defense also questioned whether she even exists.

'Doom' debuts at top spot
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The Rock did not meet his doom at the box office, but his latest action flick came in with a light pop instead of a bang during another slow weekend at movie theaters.
year:
"Dreamer. Inspired by a True Story," a horse racing family film starring Kurt Russell and Dakota Fanning, opened in second place with $9.3 million.
"Doom," adapted from the sci-fi video game, debuted as the top movie with a modest $15.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie led a lackuster lineup that continued Hollywood's box-office slump, with the top 12 movies taking in $71.3 million, down 27 percent from the same weekend last year.
Charlize Theron's blue-collar drama "North Country," based on the real-life story of a woman who led a sexual-discrimination lawsuit against male co-workers at a mining company, premiered a weak No. 5 with $6.5 million.
"Stay," starring Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling in a thriller about a psychiatrist racing to save a suicidal patient, flopped with a $2.15 million debut.
debut
Films in limited release opened strongly. The romance "Shopgirl," starring Steve Martin, Claire Danes and Jason Schwartzman in an adaptation of Martin's own novella, debuted in eight theaters with $236,000. The comic crime thriller "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang," starring Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer, took in $174,300 in eight theaters.
Both films expand to more theaters over the next couple of weeks.
Though distributor Universal expects to make its money back on "Doom," the studio had hoped for a bigger opening weekend, said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution.
Hollywood has been in a box-office slide for most of the year, with admissions running about 8 percent below 2004 levels.
"I'm very concerned about the marketplace," Rocco said. "There are so many movies out, so much to choose from, yet the marketplace continues to fall, and not just by little amounts."
Other studio executives are sticking to the idea that the industry has simply had a prolonged run of movies that failed to pack in crowds.
that handed it over. "I've been telling people for a long time that I think it's content-driven. I don't think we had a film that jumped out for people this weekend," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released "North Country."
Warner has a certain blockbuster coming in mid November with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Other big films scheduled through the holidays include "King Kong," "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and "The Producers."
Productions
October typically is a slow time for movies. Over the same weekend a year ago, though, the box-office shot up on the unexpectedly strong debut of the ghost story "The Grudge," which opened with $39.1 million.
In all fairness, this was more of a typical late-October weekend, as opposed to a year ago, when The Grudge' surprised everyone and made this weekend look pale by comparison," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE
Anythis Candidates make names, earn votes
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
— Edited by Nate Karlin
Sebelius found herself in November 2002 drawing moderates to the polls and winning against conservative Republican Tim Shallenburger.
When the last gubernatorial joust started four years ago, Democrat Kathleen Sebelius was the underdog in her quest to occupy the office vacated by a popular GOP governor in a state where Republicans are as numerous as sunflowers on the summer prairie.
TOPEKA — When it comes to Kansas politics, the only thing certain is the uncertainty.
But a zig here, a zag there, and
Now she's the incumbent, and many Republicans have visions of her calling the moving van after the Nov. 7,2006, general election.
Already, House Speaker Doug Mays and former Speaker Robin Jennison want to be her replacement. Add to the list of governor wannabes Sen. Jim Barnett of Emporia, a newcomer to the statewide political stage.
hometown where he served on the local school board before being elected senator in 2000. With a quiet, soft-spoken manner, he's not some traditional, tub-thumping loudmouthed politician.
Barnett faces two definite drawbacks — easing through the briar patch of a party divided and emerging from the Aug. 1 primary as the challenger, and getting known to voters so their first question won't be "Jim who?"
At age 51, he's a physician in his
For Barnett to win the primary and take out Sebelius, he must be a bridge builder.
The challenge facing Barnett, like other candidates, is getting his name known to voters statewide. Therein lies a circular problem.
Name recognition means spending money. Spending money means getting money. Getting money means contributors. Contributors want someone they know can be a winner.
"You just have to pound your name in just like Coca-Cola where everybody will know you," Shallanburger said.

Katie Weiss, Baylor University external student body vice president, said she wanted to create bike lanes on campus, something Texas Tech has.
She said she was impressed with the reception from the University.
"All the KU people are very about showing everything and making sure you felt comfortable." Weiss said.
The conference also showcased the Lawrence nightlife. Lydia Peele, Kansas State University sophomore senator, said her favorite part of the trip was going out on the town.
The event was funded by a $120 fee paid by each attendee.
Horen said some of the best parts of the conference were conversations on the bus and after meetings. Students got immediate feedback from peers, in a friendly environment.
Next year's conference will be held at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater.

KANSAS SUPREME COURT
Court rules gay, straight sex must be equal
Attorney General has no plans to appeal unanimous decision
BY JOHN HANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Attorney General Phill Kline doesn't plan to appeal a unanimous ruling Friday by the Kansas Supreme Court that the state cannot punish illegal underage sex more harshly if it involves homosexual acts.
The American Civil Liberties Union hopes to get the case to a lower court next week to obtain the release of Matthew R. Limon, serving a prison sentence
Had one of them been a girl, Limon could have faced only 15 months behind bars under a special "Romeo and Juliet" law allowing lighter punishment for teenage sex. He already has served more than five years and national groups on both sides of the gay rights debate were watching his case.
of 17 years and two months for performing a sex act on a 14-year-old boy in 2000.
decision further, he doesn't anticipate asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case. Kline has repeatedly described Limon as a predator because Limon's criminal record already contained two similar offenses.
Kline said in a statement that while he needed to review the
In a unanimous decision, the court ordered Limon resentenced as if the law treated illegal gay sex and illegal straight sex the same and gave the state 30 days to act. It also struck the language from the law that resulted in the different treatment.
Kansas' high court said the different treatment violated Limon's constitutional right of equal protection.
In a unanimous decision, the court ordered Limon resentenced as if the law treated illegal gay sex and illegal straight sex the same and gave the state 30 days to act.
Justice Marla Luckert wrote
the "immediate, continuing and real injuries" caused by the law outweighed "any legitimate justification" for it. Lower courts ruled the state could justify the law as protecting children's traditional development, fighting disease or strengthening traditional values.
The law's language "suggests animus toward teenagers who engage in homosexual sex," Luckert wrote, adding, "Moral
disapproval of a group cannot be a legitimate state interest."
The case will return to Miami County District Court. County Attorney David Miller said he hadn't decided how he would respond because he wanted to thoroughly review the decision first.
Even if the prosecutor decides to charge Limon anew, he's already served longer than the maximum sentence allowed under the Romeo and Juliet law.
Limon is now at the state's medium-security prison in Elsworth.
"We are very happy that Matthew will soon be getting out of prison," said James Esseks, of the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, who represented Limon. "We are sorry there is no way to make up for the extra four years he spent in prison simply because he is gay."
Both Limon and the other boy, identified only as M.A.R. in court documents, lived at a Paola group home for the developmentally disabled. In court, an official described M.A.R. as mildly retarded and Limon as functioning at a slightly higher level but not as an 18-year-old.

'Pooh'a life-changing book for actor Lithgow
That oft-mouthed phrase was the title of a 12-hour reading marathon on Saturday featuring actor John Lithgow, actress Rosie Perez and dozens of others — all celebrating 70 years of The New York Times best-seller list.
Douu Lanu/KANSAN
"The characters are not hesitant to use wonderful words like 'pathetic' and 'bracken' — reeds along the river. He uses those words, knowing kids will ask 'What does that mean?'" said Lithgow, star of the Broadway musical "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."
Lithgow's life-changing book was "Winnie the Poob."
Rosie Perez read an excerpt from "ATree Grows in Brooklyn."

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ Someone has an investment or moneymaking idea that just might work. You can also say no or take your time deciding how involved you want to be. The more questions you ask the better. Add that unique touch of creativity, and you might come up with a better idea. Tonight: Play the night away.

what hit others. Questions and requests pop up out of left field.
The answers can be gotten, but you need time. Make calls and schedule appointments. Your phone calls make waves -- good ones! Tonight: Happy as a clam at home.
**** You might suddenly discover that you have overextended yourself, and panic. Why? Take a realistic look and start seeking out ideas and suggestions (besides to stop spending). A conversation could be enlightening. Tonight: Talk about a problem. Don't shut down.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)

LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.22)
★★★ You need to think through a problem with directness and clarity. Others might be more than happy to put in their two cents. You could be overwhelmed at first, by the evening, you know which path to head down. Tonight: Find your pals.
***** Your vision and opinions are much more in demand because somehow you don't trigger and instead see the high road or the solution. Use these abilities to work through a problem you are dealing with. Tonight. Out late.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★☆☆ Others know what they want and expect. The best path is to go along with them, as you really cannot control anyone's behavior but your own. A partnership needs to grow, and will with your attention. Tonight: Quality time with a special friend.

6A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ▼ HURRICANE WILMA
Storm eyeing the U.S.
Could hit mainland 'like a rocket' this morning
BY DAVID ROYSE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"T
KEY WEST, Fla. — Hurricane Wilma accelerated toward storm-weary Florida on Sunday, threatening residents with 105-mph winds, tornadoes and a surge of seawater that could flood the Keys and the state's southwest coast.
1 cannot emphasize enough to the folks that live in the Florida Keys: A hurricane is coming. Perhaps people are saying, 'I'm going to hunker down.' They shouldn't do that. They should evacuate, and there's very little time left to do so."
Jeb Bush Florida governor
After crawling slowly through the Caribbean for several days, Wilma pulled away from Mexico's Yucatan peninsula as a Category 2 storm and, forecasters said, began picking up speed "like a rocket" as it headed toward the U.S. mainland.
POLICE DEPT.
The storm was expected to make landfall around dawn this morning.
The southern half of the state
was under a hurricane warning, and an estimated 160,000 residents were told to evacuate, although many in the low-lying Keys island chain decided to stay.
and there's very little time left to do so."
"I cannot emphasize enough to the folks that live in the Florida Keys: A hurricane is coming." Gov. Jeb Bush said. "Perhaps people are saying, 'I'm going to hunker down.' They shouldn't do that. They should evacuate,
Forecasters expected flooding from a storm surge of up to 15 feet on Florida's southwest coast and 8 feet in the Keys. Tornados were possible in some areas through Monday.
Damon Higgins/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami, predicted Wilma would dramatically pick up speed as it approached Florida.
"It's really going to take off like a rocket," he said. "It's going to start moving like 20 mph."
Wilma would mark Florida's eighth hurricane since August 2004 and the fourth evacuation of the Keys this year.
Only about 20 percent of the Keys' 78,000 residents fed, according to Billy Wagner, senior emergency management director for Monroe County.
There was sunshine Sunday morning in the Keys and even some recreational boaters as
"If they don't get out of there, they're going to be in deep trouble," he said.
Emergency medical officials help John Smith, a resident at the Key West Convalescent Center, into van that will evacuate residents up north Sunday mornin. Residents will be taken to sites in Sunrise, West Palm Beach, and Fort Pierce in Florida.
many residents went about their normal routines.
"We were born and raised with storms, so we never leave," Ann Ferguson said from her front porch in Key West. "What happens, happens. If you believe in the Lord, you don't have no fear."

EDITORIAL
Riots better than silence
PAGE 7A
While the riots that followed the Neo-Nazi protest last week in Toledo, Ohio, were unfortunate, they were ultimately a small price to pay for one of the most precious rights that the United States offers its citizens: freedom of speech.
By no means does the editorial board think that the Neo-Nazi philosophy should be supported or even condoned, but in order to keep the institution of free speech alive, it must be tolerated.
The day that United States officials starts making exceptions on who has the right to protest or congregate will be when all citizens' rights are in jeopardy.
If Neo-Nazis can't march, the government might start making other judgment calls based on the personal agendas of the officials in charge.
Only groups who shared the same ideals as the government might soon be the only ones allowed to speak their opinions.
At that point, the United States government will have
lost all that made it different from the oppressive regimes around the world; regimes it has spoken out against and fought throughout its history.
(The riots) were a small price to pay for one of the most precious rights that the United States offers its citizens: freedom of speech.
The United States would be hypocritical for fighting Nazi Germany, the Communist Soviet Union, and many other regimes because it would be censoring the public as well.
They did not release the path of the march so that people who wanted to protest the marcheers could not find them as easily.
The city officials of Toledo only did what was right by letting the Neo-Nazis march.
angry people to stay calm and let the Neo-Nazis protest.
Community leaders urged
Although 12 officers were injured and 114 people were arrested, no one was killed.
They did this in hope of avoiding a riot, and they prepared for the worst as best as possible.
Ultimately, the situation was handled well.
Everyone in the United States has the right to protest his or her government as long as it does not infringe on others' rights and safety.
The Neo-Nazis did not start the riot, and the Toledo city officials had no way of knowing the capacity in which the riot would occur.
City officials could not cancel the march based on the possibility of a riot because there could always be that possibility with every march, so they made the right move.
They let the Neo-Nazis proceed and tried to control the damage when things got ugly.
Anne Weltmer for the editorial board.

Start beating the cheating
Cheating and abuse go hand in hand.
When investigating a domestic disturbance, some of the characteristics that police look for are cheating and abuse. But evidence of abuse is hard to find because only physical abuse leaves visible indicators. In most cases, abuse in relationships is mental abuse.
This is seen even on the University of Kansas campus, especially in instances of cheating boyfriend who have girlfriends who are too afraid to leave them, or an obsessive, jealous ex who uses fear to try to retain control of a relationship.
Ladies and gentlemen, these scenarios are more common than you think. When it comes to cheaters, the truth does come out eventually.
Cheaters always get caught. If you cheat, try and find what little respect you have for your girlfriend and stop. Or tell her the truth.
She might break up with you, but at least she will know you had the guts to tell her the truth instead of sneaking off to jump in another woman's bed.
I knew a guy who had the sweetest girlfriend but still tried to get with other girls. This guy needed to stop thinking with his dick and start thinking about how he's breaking this girlfriend's heart. Another guy, when I asked him about cheating, told me, "It don't matter. Who cares about relationships anyway?" I have to say, no woman wants to deal with a cheater.
Ladies, this is a big issue here on campus. Something needs to change among the men, as well as us women.
---
We women need to make it
SARA GARLICK
opinion@kansan.com
clear to men that we aren't going to put up with cheaters. We need to remain strong on this issue. Cheating men only bring trouble.
Abuse is often an unmentioned side effect of a relationship gone wrong. This is a major problem.
Cheaters always get caught. If you cheat, try and find what little respect you have for your girlfriend and stop. Or tell the truth.
When the cops get involved in domestic disturbances, information leaks out to the media. Now, if the man in question was a highly-profiled figure, say a student leader or an athlete, then the leak to the media would be detrimental to his career.
I had a friend tell me in confidence that she was scared of her ex-boyfriend because he had already threatened her. I told her that if he ever threatens her again, then she needs to take legal action.
Many people might not be aware of the Tracy Thurman story. Her story helped make domestic violence a national issue, especially after the Torrington, Conn., police department failed to protect her from her abusive husband. Tracy called the police to the scene, but the police saw no physical evidence.
Afterward, her husband, Buck Thurman, grabbed a butcher's knife and stabbed her more than 37 times, leaving her paralyzed and hanging on to her life.
This could have been avoided if emphasis was placed on healthy relationships in children's education.
Unfortunately, we live in a world where if we see no evil, then it doesn't exist. Abuse happens every day on campus, which is a disturbing statistic. These instances can involve guys who you would never suspect would go to extremes. And the worst part is that some people praise these men for their behavior.
It's time that we end the cheating, lying and the lack of respect for one another. People need to take responsibility for their actions. Men, if you cheat, it is not acceptable. Ladies, don't accept your men cheating on you. You can do so much better than that.
There are nice guys out there who won't cheat or threaten you. If you are a nice guy who respects women, then stand up and let yourself be noticed. Stop being too bashful to say anything to an attractive woman in fear she might shut you down.
Keep making your presence known, and maybe more guys will follow your example, change their behavior and respect women.

"It's like a whole year of your life has passed, but it's only been a week," he said.
Meyers, whose grandfather is a KU alumnus, got his start in comedy while attending Northwestern University.
"I was an absentee student that did a lot of improv in my spare time," the fifth-season SNL star said. "Turns out I was right."
Indeed the audience enjoyed Meyers' quick wit and energy.
Peals of laughter erupted most notably when he facetiously ripped into, of all groups, juniors in college.
"Freshmen: I love you guys. Sophomores: Let me go on the record of saying I love you guys. Juniors: I hate you. I hate you so much and don't pretend like you don't know
why that is. Seniors: You're growing on me, but I know you used to be juniors."
The comedian is best known for his impersonations of Senator John Kerry, actor Hugh Grant and original characters, including the insulting scientist Dr. Dave Klinger aka "Zinger."
Meyers said he enjoyed performing in front of college students because they were so enthusiastic.
"They have yet to be crushed by the weight of life," he said.
Travis Arey, Shawnee freshman, said Meyers did an admirable job during his performance.
"He did even better here than on SNL. He gets crap bits on the show." Arey said.
Like many of their famous SNL alumni, both Thompson and Meyers are working on upcoming films.

Check, comrade: Kansas town prepares for Gorbachev visit
LINDSBORG — School bands here are practicing the Russian national anthem. Detectives are conducting security checks. And preparations are being made for a parade.
All of it is for former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who will visit this predominantly Swedish community of 3,300 this weekend to launch a worldwide campaign of promoting peace through chess.
"Lindsborg has grown in reputation and has a bigger chess presence than many other larger cities," said Wes Fisk, one of the organizers of the weekend events.
The town is home to a Karpov Chess School and has hosted international tournaments. This year, Karpov invited his friend, Gorbachev, to visit Lindsborg to start the Chess for Peace campaign. The Associated Press

KANAS SPORTWRITER
The Kansas soccer program is one of the youngest sports on campus, and in its 10-year history the team had never once defeated Texas.
Sure, there was that one tie in 1999, but no Kansas soccer team could say it had actually won against Texas. Until Sunday's 2-1 victory, that is.

The goal, Karfonta's third of the season, brought an onslaught of objections from Texas soccer coach Chris Petrucelli, who thought Karfonta fouled before her shot. Instead, Kansas (10-6-2, 5-3 Big 12) snapped a four-game Texas (9-7-1, 6-4 Big 12) winning streak.
If the results from the weekend are any indication, the Jayhawks made the better decision.

BOULDER, Colo. — Senior quarterback Jason Swanson pumped his fist as he ran into the locker room at halftime, an unusual sight for a player on a team that was down 16-13.
Swanson replaced senior quarterback Brian Luke midway through the first quarter and led Kansas on three scoring drives, including the team's first touchdown in more than two games. Swanson had not been in a game all season.

Special teams miscues help lead to loss
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORT WRITTER
BOULDER, Colo. — The Kansas offense and defense have been in the spotlight for good and bad reasons this season. It was the Kansas special teams, though, that made several miscues Saturday night during Colorado's 44-13 blowout victory.

Rvlan Howe/KANSAN
The first slip was in the first quarter when Kansas lined up to punt in its own end zone. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker couldn't handle freshman tight end Russell Brorsen's snap and fumbled the ball, giving Colorado a safety.
"The part that disappointed me the most tonight was special teams," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "It's usually been pretty solid for us, but tonight I think we accounted for 23 points for Colorado and when special teams does that, it's going to be a long night."
Another major mistake came shortly after halftime when Colorado was leading 16-13. Kansas punted again and the snap was fine, but Tucker's kick was blocked by Colorado fullback Brendan Schaub and picked up by Colorado safety Dominique Brooks, who took the ball 28 yards the other way for a touchdown.
After that play, the score was 23-13, and Kansas never got any closer. Colorado continued to build its lead throughout the game, and Kansas' special teams continued to make mistakes.
Two series after the blocked punt, Colorado tried a fake field goal and succeeded. Holder Nick Holz kept the ball and ran it down the sideline for 21 yards and a first down to the Kansas 3-yard line.
Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker reacts to a bad snap before throwing the ball out back of the end zone for a Colorado safety, but avoiding a touchdown, in the first quarter on Saturday in Boulder, Colo. Colorado defeated Kansas 44-13.
Colorado had previously called a timeout to get the right personnel on the field for a fake. The Buffaloes sent out only 10 players, so Colorado football coach Gary Barnett called a timeout before the fake field goal.
After the fake field goal, Kansas fell apart, throwing three interceptions and allowing a 62-
One play later, Colorado quarterback Joel Klatt connected with tight end Joe Klopfstein on a 3-yard touchdown pass, and Colorado's lead stretched to 17 points.
"The fake field goal, the timing was just right to do it," Barnett said. "They gave us the look and, not having enough guys on the field, calling a timeout probably helped us in the situation because I wasn't going to send it in the first time. I sent it in the second time."
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith, who was also a special teams member, said the team needed to perform in all three phases of the game in order to be successful.
"This game is all about being a team," Keith said. "Whether you're on special teams, the kicking team or defense, you have to come out here and do your job. The second you let up, you can see what happened, and our team let up a few big plays when we

The game wouldn't go without one more blunder. Colorado wide receiver Stephone Robinson returned a punt 81 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Robinson split Kansas's defenders in the middle of the field and then took it down the sideline for the score. Robinson's touchdown would close out the scoring for the game, capping off Colorado's 44-13 victory.

First-half scores, second-half fumbles
BOULDER, Colo. — Trailing 16-13 at halftime, it appeared Kansas was in perfect shape to steal a victory. But 15 minutes later, the Jayhawks started suffering their worst beating of the season.
Yes, all was well when the Kansas offense came alive after three fruitless possessions, with the insertion of senior quarterback Jason Swanson. A beautiful diving catch by junior cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon just before halftime broke the embarrassing streak of 10 quarters without a touchdown. The team went into the locker room with momentum on its side.

second-half push.
So, what was the difference between the first half and the second?
Colorado football coach Gary Barnett had nothing but praise for Kansas' defense.
It wasn't that the KU defense wore down. Kansas won the time-of-possession battle in the first half, and for the first time during this conference season, its defense was well rested for a
"We struggled running the ball. We went three straight snaps with one yard," he said. "Kansas' defense is very, very good."
It's also hard to blame the KU offense. Though it didn't score a single second-half point, the Jayhawks produced 50 more yards of offense than the Buffaloes. In weeks past, that would have been more than enough for a victory.
Improvements by Colorado weren't the difference, either. The Buffaloes helped the Jayhawks all day by committing 10 penalties for 97 yards.
Basically, Kansas got everything it had lacked in the past three weeks. But none of it mattered.
The team invented new ways to lose, and ended up being destroyed by 31 points after playing its most promising first half of the season.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino blamed the loss on special teams.
Swanson said it was the little things that went wrong that killed the Jayhawks.
But from the press box, it looked like a mental problem.
Kansas made foolish miscuis in the first half, but was able to fight back from them.

Up and coming surprises Texas makes its way up The Associated Press' poll
BY RALPH D. RUSSO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas is changing some minds.
The second-ranked Longhorns picked up two more first-place votes in The Associated Press Top 25 on Sunday, gaining on No.1 Southern California.
USC is on top of the rankings for a record 27th straight poll. The Trojans received 55 first-place votes and 1,615 points. The Longhorns, coming off a 52-17 victory over previously unbeaten Texas Tech, received the remaining 10 first-place votes and 1,569 points in the media poll.
"I didn't move USC down as much as I moved Texas up," said Joe Giglio of The New & Observer of Charlotte, N.C., one of two voters to switch Texas and USC this week. "I feel (the Longhorns) have a more complete resume and I'm really impressed with how they've handled their business."
After a Saturday with no major upsets, the top nine teams held their
positions in the Top 25. Virginia Tech is No. 3, followed by Georgia, Alabama, Miami, LSU, UCLA and Notre Dame.
Texas Tech was the only top-10 team to fall. The Red Raiders dropped seven spots to No. 17 after their first loss of the season. That leaves six unbeaten teams — USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Alabama and UCLA.
With USC and UCLA set to finish the season against each other and a Georgia-Alabama matchup in the Southeastern Conference title game possible, the regular season could end with four unbeaten teams.
Northwestern moved into the rankings this week for the first time since 2001. The Wildcats (5-2) defeated Michigan State 49-14 on Saturday and are now 21st in the country. The Spartans fell out of the rankings.
Michigan is back in the rankings after a 23-20 overtime victory at Iowa. The Wolverines have been in and out of the poll in an up-and-down season that has been filled with close games.
Earlier this season, Michigan snapped a string of 114 straight weeks in the rankings, which was the longest in the nation and dated back to 1998.
The Wolverines moved back into the poll after a win, then dropped back out after another loss. Two straight last-play victories over Penn State and the Hawkeyes have Michigan at No. 25.
The top five teams in the USA Today coaches' poll were identical to the AP rankings with USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Alabama.
No. 13 Boston College plays at Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
In the AP poll, No. 10 is Florida State, followed by Penn State and Ohio State.
No. 14 is Oregon, followed by Wisconsin and Florida, which has a big game coming up on Saturday.

The Gators will try to hand Georgia its first loss in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party at Jacksonville, Fla.
Kansas freshman defeats No.1 player
The Kansas tennis team's freshmen showed talent and poise at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's regional championship in Salt Lake City.
Freshman Ksenia Bukina's appearance at the tournament was not surprising. It was who she beat that was special.
Bukina's first-round upset on Thursday of the tournament's No.1 seed, Maja Kovacek of New Mexico, sent a feeling of excitement through the Kansas tennis ranks.
"I am extremely proud of Ksenia," Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "For a freshman to come into a tournament of this caliber and eliminate the top seed is pretty impressive."
Bukina defeated Kovacek 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.
Following her first-round victory, Bukina lost a close second-round match to Big 12 opponent Vanessa Huete of Nebraska 4-6, 4-6.
Sophomore Elizaveta Avdeeva and senior Christine Skoda both dropped their first-round matches in three sets. They both advanced to the quarterfinals of the consolation draw before being eliminated.
All of Kansas' tournament qualifiers have now been eliminated.
Avdeeva and Bukina led in the doubles draw.The tandem eliminated Arkansas State's Chelminska and Engelbrect 8-5.This landed the pair a spot in the tournament's quarterfinals.
Skoda and junior Brittany Brown defeated their opening round challengers from the University of Denver 8-3. Freshman Edina Horvath and sophomore Lauren Hommell beat their first round opposition from Utah State 8-0.
The Jayhawks' next meet will be Nov. 4-6 at the University of Western Michigan in Kalamazoo, Mich.

Poor serving leads to loss
1
Baylor defeats Kansas 3-1
The time for a turn-around is growing short for the Kansas volleyball team.
Kansas was paced by senior middle blocker Josi Lima, who tallied 16 kills, 11 digs and 4.5 blocks on the evening. She was one of four Jayhawks to record double-doubles. Senior setter Andi Rozum finished with 52 assists and nine kills in the losing effort.
The Jayhawks' woes continued Saturday night in Waco, Texas, as Baylor dispatched its guests 5-1 in an important Big 12 match. With nine matches to go, the Jayhawks are now 12-8 and 4-7 in conference play. The latest loss was their fifth in a row and sixth in their last seven matches.
Baylor junior middle blocker Desiree Guillard-Young, who has battled injuries this season, turned in a career performance for the Bears. Her 18 kills and 11 blocks led Baylor to its fourth conference victory, which matched the team's total from last season and tied it with Kansas for eighth place.

Junior outside hitter Megan Hill had her best match since replacing injured junior Jana Correa. She had 13 kills, a new career high.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was disappointed in the outcome but applauded the team's effort.
"There are some technical things we need to improve on but they are fixable," he said. "The team is in the right frame of mind right now and extremely united in what they know they can accomplish this season."
Both squads were efficient on
Once again, serving was a problem for the Jayhawks. They had 15 service errors and only four aces. In contrast, Baylor had a successful night serving, with nine aces and only eight errors.
offense. Baylor posted a .285 attack percentage against Kansas' .229. A key for the Bears was defense. Their unit recorded 18.0 blocks to the Jayhawks 10.0.
“It's kind of like shooting free throws in basketball,” Bechard said. “The more you think about it and work on it, it doesn't necessarily get worse but it doesn't get better either.”
Bechard said the team worked on serving every day in practice, but sometimes putting so much emphasis on one area was counterproductive.
Things will not get easier for the Jayhawks. If they hope to snap their skid, they must do so on the road against No. 1 Nebraska on Wednesday night. If that task weren't daunting enough, history is also railing against Kansas. The Jayhawks' only win against the Cornhusker was in 1975. They have never won in Lincoln.
"We'd like to get a win, but we're looking at it as a 10-game season from here on," Bechard said. "We need our share of wins to extend our season. It's another opportunity for us to get better."
Kansas has averaged 3.13 errors per game this season from behind the line. That has negated its 1.71 aces per game average, which is second in the Big 12 Conference.
"We took a few more risks," Bechard said. "They were going to side out and score points if we didn't become aggressive, so it's kind of a catch-22."

Eli leads New York to Giant comeback
BY DAVID PORTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Eli Manning was backpaddling under pressure, spinning away from a defender and heaving the ball in what looked like desperation.
The second-year quarterback's education took another huge step forward with the 2-yard touchdown toss that capped a brilliant comeback drive and snapped Denver's six-game winning streak, despite another stellar running effort by the Broncos.
Except there was nothing desperate about this pass, caught in the end zone on the run by a leaping Amani Toomer with :08 remaining to give the New York Giants a 24-23 victory against Denver on Sunday.
The second-year quarterback's education took another huge step forward with the two-yard touchdown toss that capped a brilliant comeback drive and snapped Denver's six-game winning streak, despite another stellar running effort by the Broncos.
Trailing 23-17 with 3:29 left,
Manning drove the Giants from their 17 to the Denver 2. The big play that got them there was a 24-yard pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey on third-and-10 at the Denver 32.
Manning, who had been kept on the run by Denver for most of Sunday's game, finished 23-of-42 for 214 yards and two touchdowns for the Giants (4-2), who trailed from midway through the second quarter until the final drive. His other touchdown pass came to Plaxico Burress in
After an incompletion and a short pass to Tiki Barber, Manning, off-balance and under heavy pressure, found Toomer just inside the goal line for the score.
It's was a familiar sight, but with a different result: Last week, Manning led his team on a similar drive in Dallas, spinning away from a blitzing defender and hitting Shockey in the end zone to tie the game with less than a minute left. But the Giants never got the ball in overtime and lost to the Cowboys 16-13.
the first quarter.
Denver (5-2) quarterback Jake Plummer finished 18-of-29 for 194 yards and one touchdown, and Jason Elam kicked three field goals for the Broncos. Elam missed a 49-yard with 5:18 left in the game after Barber scored on a 4-yard run to bring the Giants within 6 points at 23-17.
Mike Anderson gained 120 yards on 24 carries and scored on a 2-yard touchdown run for Denver, while Tatum Bell had 60 yards on 8 carries.
Manning was intercepted by Champ Bailey on the Giants' next possession, but New York held Denver on downs and got the ball back one more time.
The Broncos, the NFL's third-best rushing team, ran for 191 yards, 38 yards more than their average coming into the game.

That was the most excited Swanson and the rest of the Jayhawks would be.
"We were all in there jacked up and yelling." Swanson said of the atmosphere in the locker room at halftime. "It was the most excited I have seen a team at halftime, down, not having a lead."
Swanson led drives for two Kansas field goals and a touchdown, as time wound down in the second quarter.
The offense didn't score a single point after halftime and fell to the Colorado Buffalooes 44-13 Saturday night.
Swanson led an improved Kansas offense, passing for 291 yards and a touchdown, but tossed three interceptions. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he still liked what he saw from Swanson.
Swanson's performance solidified him as the starter for next week's homecoming game against Missouri as well.
"I think he got some throws off that we haven't been able to get all year," Mangino said.
"We knew that Swanny would get them rallied," Mangino said. "He took control of the huddle right away."
"He is going to have to do something awfully wrong from now until the next game not to start the game." Mangino said.
Luke was ineffective against Colorado, going 1-for-5 for just two yards and was injured, prompting Swanson to enter.

"He hadn't played all season and he looked like he had been out there for four years."
"The special teams unit really put us in a hole," Mangino said. "I think there are two or three units that had some mistakes, some mental mistakes."
The offensive performance was the best for the Jayhawks in more than a month. The unit actually outgained the Colorado offense 354 yards to 304.
The first was in the first quarter when sophomore punter Kyle Tucker was unable to handle a high snap in the end zone. Tucker threw the ball out of the

Extra points:
Quarterback Joel Klatt hit a wide open Joe Klopfenstein for a 40-yard touchdown pass. Safety Rodney Fowler couldn't bring Klopfenstein, who broke tackles for another 15 yards and the touchdown which put Colorado up 16-3.
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons, with five catches for 76 yards, moved into first place on the Kansas all-time reception list. He has 137.
Gordon's touchdown reception in the second quarter was his ninth of his career and put him in a tie for 10th place on Kansas 'all-time touchdown list.
The Colorado victory against Kansas was the fifth straight in the series against Kansas.
For the second consecutive game, Gordon and freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford started on offense. Gordon did not start at cornerback and saw limited action there mainly on third downs.

Bruised Rams defeat Saints
BY R.B. FALLSTROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — With so many key pieces missing, the St. Louis Rams went into survival mode. That was enough to beat the spiraling New Orleans Saints.
Steven Jackson scored on a pair of short runs for the Rams and Kevin Curtis got the go-ahead touchdown on a 5-yard reverse with 5:58 to go in a come-from-behind 28-17 victory Sunday.
Behind 36-year-old backup quarterback Jamie Martin — who was making only his fourth career start — St. Louis stopped a three-game losing streak and kept hope alive that it still be a factor if they ever get healthy. Mike Martz is in the hospital with an infection and the Rams' quarterback and two starting wide receivers were in street clothes because of injuries.
"Just somehow to be able to
get a win, that's huge with all those guys out," Martin said. "We need to just keep it going and hopefully get another one next week, and when they get back we'll be rolling."
The Rams (3-4) are at home against the Jaguars next week and then have a bye.
A pair of failed trick plays came back to haunt the Saints (2-5), who squandered a 14-point first-quarter lead and have lost three in a row. A quarterback sneak on a fake field goal on fourth-and-one was stuffed for no gain near the end of the third quarter and Donte' Stallworth's fumble on a fourth-quarter reverse led to the go-ahead score. The Rams also blocked a field goal attempt in the second quarter.
"We had chances to make plays and we just didn't step up and make enough plays," coach Jim Haslett said. "They made plays when they had to, that's
basically what it boiled down to."
Martin, subbing for the injured Marc Bulger, was ineffective most of the day. But he hit Curtis for a 42-yard gain to the 6 to set up the winning score, and then led the blocking on Curtis' clinching TD run after the wide receiver took a handoff from lackson.
"I did just enough," Martin said. "I'm not a lineman, I just tried to shield him and let Kevin do what he wanted to do."
Martin, who threw two crucial interceptions in a loss at Indianapolis on Monday after Bulger was hurt, was 18-for-29 for 198 yards with no interceptions against the Saints. The 36-year-old won for the first time in four career starts.
Mike Furrey's 67-yard interception return with 1:55 to go wrapped it up for the Rams (3-4), who are 1-1 in the last two games, both without Martz. The
coach was sidelined by a bacterial infection of a heart valve, and assistant head coach Joe Vitt has been running the show.
Bulger is out with a sprained shoulder and Torry Holt (knee) and Isaac Bruce (turf toe) also did not dress, robbing the Rams of considerable firepower.
Aaron Brooks threw touchdown passes on the Saints' first two drives. After that, the team without a home fizzled and its three-game winning streak in St. Louis came to an end.
Furrey's touchdown return came a play after a defensive holding call on third down gave the Saints a fresh set of downs at their own 42.
The Saints wanted to challenge the interception return but couldn't because they were out of timeouts and although the play ended with 1:55 left, it began with 2:10 to go and the NFL only takes over after the two-minute warning.

New Orleans Saints' Earnie Conwell appears to have control of the football on a pass from quarterback Aaron Brooks with St. Louis Rams defensive back Jerome Carter defending during the second half of the game Sunday in St. Louis. The Rams' Mike Furrey picked up the football off Conwell while he was on his back and ran 67 yards for the touchdown. The Rams defeated the Saints 28-17.
Lackluster Wildcats need two wins to survive to postseason

MANHATTAN — Kansas State has stalled on the comeback trail.

Obviously, if you aren't winning, there's a sense of urgency."
A 4-1 start raised hopes of a quick recovery from last year's disappointing 4-7 finish, which broke a string of 11 straight postseason appearances.
But after going 0-2 since then, the Wildcats must win at least half their last four games — two of them against the Big 12 North co-leaders, Colorado and Mis-
souri — to avoid spending a second straight bowl season at home.
"Obviously, if you aren't winning, there's a sense of urgency," offensive tackle Jeromey Clary said Saturday, after Kansas State's second-half comeback
Jeromey Clary K-State offensive tackle
fell short in a 30-28 loss to Texas A&M.
The Wildcats (4-3, 1-3 Big 12) haven't gone bowlless in back-to-back seasons since 1991-92.
"We have our backs against the wall," linebacker Brandon Archer said. "We have to
come out fighting and get some wins."
The Wildcats have done that before — most notably in 2003, when they lost their first two conference games before ripping off a seven-game winning streak that included a 35-7 upset of then-No. 1 Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.
Kansas State also salvaged a bowl bid in 2001 despite a fourgame midseason losing streak, and started the 2002 conference season 1-2 before winning its final five Big 12 games.
Those Wildcat teams had strong running attacks, though
— something this year's team hasn't had since the season started. Kansas State managed only 27 yards rushing against Texas A&M (5-2, 3-1), the third Big 12 team to hold the Wildcats fewer than 50 yards this year.
"We're still having trouble with the running game. That falls on the offensive line," said Clary, the only senior starter in the unit. "We have to pick it up."
though, for Kansas State to take into this weekend's home game against Colorado.
In his second start, Allan Ervidge threw for 357 yards — five short of the school record for freshmen — and three touchdowns.
There were bright spots,
"We threw the ball more, so he was more in command," coach Bill Snyder said. "There was less balance in the offense, because of falling behind and having to throw it a little bit more, but I thought he did a nice job with that."

White Sox win again
BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Scott Podsednik made it two electrifying home runs for the White Sox — and two World Series wins.
Podsednik's home run off Brad Lidge in the ninth inning gave Chicago a thrilling 7-6 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday night and put the White Sox halfway home to their first World Series title in 88 years.
"Iincredible. What a ballgame." Podsednik said. "I was sitting on a fastball the entire at-bat."
After yet another disputed umpiring call, Paul Konerko capped a momentous week with a seventh-inning grand slam on reliever Chad Qualls' first pitch, giving the White Sox
a 6-4 lead and sparking the crowd of 41,432 to life on a drizzly, dreary night.
But Game 1 hero Bobby Jenks couldn't work his magic two nights in a row.
Jose Vizcaino, pinch-
Podsednik didn't have any home runs in 507 regular-season at-bats. He hit his first of the season in the division series opener against Boston.

when he gave up a three-hr runomer to Albert Puijols that teammates joked rose to airplane cruising altitude.
This one wasn't as long, but it was just as damaging.
Podsednik lofted the ball to right-center field, and players and fans craned to
see whether it would clear the fence. When it did, Chicago players poured out of the dugout to greet Podsednik at the plate.
Chicago pressured reliever Dan Wheeler on Juan Uribe one's out double and Tadahito Iguchi's walk, and the White Sox loaded the bases when Jermaine Dye was awarded first base on a 3-2 pitch that umpires ruled hit his hand. Houston disputed the call, and replays appeared to show the ball striking his bat.
If it had been ruled a foul ball, the count would have remained full on Dye. But he took first, Qualls relieved and he left his first pitch over the plate. Konerko turned on it, and it went deep into the left-field bleachers.
It was Konerko's fifth postseason homer.

KU ON WHEELS
Bus system confronts problems
Riders, drivers complain of deficiencies
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student users and employees of KU on Wheels have reported that the wheels on the bus are not turning quite so smoothly.
Michelle Prahl, Bentonville, Ark., senior, discovered that the online route map was incorrect. Dave Courtney, a Lawrence resident and bus driver, said he thought his bus needed some repairs and that bus drivers' wages should be increased.
home; instead, she found herself stranded.
Prahl thought she had a ride
She had checked the bus route map online and found that a night bus ran from campus and stopped right in front of her apartment at 25th and Louisiana streets. She boarded the bus at 9 p.m. and waited patiently as the bus made its other stops.
When the bus reached Colony Woods, at the intersection of 24th Street and Naismith Drive, the bus driver asked Prahl where she was headed. He explained that it was his last stop and that Prahl would have to get off the bus. She told him the map online said differently,
and he told her the route maps were incorrect and had been for about three years.
"I had to walk home by myself, and I didn't have my cell phone." Prahl said.
"It was actually kind of scary."
Colony Woods Apartments and Prahl's apartment are about a mile apart.
Jessica Mortinger, transportation director of KU on Wheels, said she was unaware of the route maps being incorrect at all. But she did say that the times on the schedules were correct.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said that KU on Wheels had
received no complaints from students regarding the bus system. The transportation board for Student Senate has debated eliminating the night bus because of low ridership, he said.
"Obviously, we want to know if a student is having a hard time with the bus system," Quisenberry said.

Courtney said he noticed that the electronic sign on the front of his bus was slowly becoming dimmer and dimmer. The sign tells riders his route, 15th and Crestline streets.
Students and bus drivers say the KCJ on Willow's maps incorrectly display the map areas. The University paid the library $830,000 last year to operate the University's bus system.

Online program sees healthy growth
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A KU School of Nursing program tripled in size since its beginning in 1998.
The program has grown from about 20 students to 58 students.
Rita Clifford, associate dean for student affairs, said the program had reached its ideal size.
The program, called Registered Nurses to Bachelor of Sciences in Nursing, offers students who are already registered nurses the opportunity to complete their bachelor's degrees without taking classes in a physical classroom. Instead, students take classes through KU Medical Center's Virtual Classroom, conducted online.
"They don't have to be hostage in a classroom that doesn't cater to their needs," Clifford said.
The program's flexibility is one of its advantages, Clifford said. It allows students to take the classes on their own time and take classes when their schedules allow time. The program can be completed as quickly as one year or as long as five years.
The School of Nursing admits students to the program three times a year; the application deadlines are March 1, June 1 and Oct. 1 each year.
The program requires 62 prerequisite hours in liberal arts and science courses. Bridget Koan, a spokeswoman for the School of Nursing, said most students completed those hours at a community college.
Students in the program participate in a variety of activities in their classes. Students use a standard textbook for readings.
Most of the students in the program work professionally, Clifford said, but that doesn't mean that the students feel disconnected from the school.
They complete exercises, alone or in groups, and participate in discussions on an online discussion board. Students coordinate group work by e-mailing one another.
Last year, all the graduates of the program attended the School of Nursing's graduate recognition ceremony.
Clifford said some of them had traveled great distances to be there.
"They were there because they felt they were part of the school," she said.

BOARD OF REGENTS
Legislation would limit university funds
BY JOHN JORDAN
jfordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Funding limitations could affect college students throughout the state, said Kip Peterson, director of governmental relations and communications for the Regents.
The Kansas Board of Regents and Student Senate are working to stop a bill in the Kansas House of Representatives that they say would cut higher education funding. Proponents of the bill say it curtails rising spending by the government and lets citizens decide where money should go.
The legislation is named the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR, and would limit increases in state government spending.
"TABOR would price middle- and lower-income students out of tuition," Peterson said.
If the University, which receives 25 percent of its funding from the state, had funding cut to 10 percent, it would lose $79 million a year, Peterson said.
The bill ties increases in state spending to population growth and inflation. Kansas wouldn't be able to spend more than its population growth each year, plus the rise in the costs of living.
The Kansas Board of Regents passed a resolution Wednesday opposing any state funding limitations. Student Senate committees would be vote on a similar resolution tomorrow to be seen in front of the full Senate next Wednesday.
Spending increases higher than state growth would have to be voted on by citizens, and extra revenue from taxpayers could be refunded to them.
The Regents were concerned with what would happen to funding based on what has happened in Colorado, which has a TABOR law.
Peterson's research has found that the limitations have hurt Colorado schools, such as the University of Colorado. Peterson said that Colorado received 10 percent of its funding from the state due to restrictions from TABOR and has kept funding from increasing for the past five years.
Americans for Prosperity is a fiscally conservative public policy advocate.
Alan Cobb, Kansas state director of Americans for Prosperity, said Kansas is in an economic slump, partly because of a high tax-burden. TABOR could help the state get a handle on spending and lower the tax burden on citizens, Cobb said.
Cobb said TABOR wouldn't cut
funding to higher-education, only limit increases in spending. If citizens think that more spending is necessary, Cobb said, they may vote to further fund education.
"It's going to be up to the public's wishes," Cobb said.
"TABOR would be very detrimental to higher education," Bender said.
But student lobbyists see it differently.
Higher education is the first thing to be cut when states face budget cuts, said Josh Bender, Sterling senior and Student Legislative Awareness Board president.
SLAB is starting an education campaign on the issue and is working to have letters published in newspapers throughout the state in the hometowns of students.

ON THE BOULEVARD
DJ spins while district sleeps alone tonight
BY FRANK TANKARD
tankard@kansai.com
KANSAI STAFF WRITER
It's 2 a.m. Monday, and campus is dark, cold and quiet. Most everyone's in bed, except for a few groggy-eyed students studying in the library, and a KJHK DJ, Taylor Ford, playing cuts alone in the lit studio on 11th Street.
"They say people are still listening," the Olathe sophomore said, looking like 3 a.m. with his scruffy beard and messy light brown hair. "I have no idea if they are."
It's the beginning of another Monday for Ford, meaning another night of sacrificed sleep to bring tunes to Lawrence. He's one of student-run radio station 90.7 KJHK's late-night DJs, a role usually delegated to beginners like Ford, who's in his second semester as a DJ.
"Hopefully next year I'll have a show at a more sensible time," he said. "Maybe by then I'll have gathered more clout, I don't know."
Andy Dierks, the station's
els
general manager and faculty advisor, said there's always someone listening, even during Ford's 2 to 4 a.m. variety music show. Taxi drivers tune in, he said, as well as gas station attendants, students up late and alumni in foreign countries listening on the Internet.
But if they're out there, Ford doesn't usually hear from them. He said he averaged one call from a listener per shift. On some lonely nights, no one calls.
"Last time, I had this drunk guy calling in ..." he said.
Tonight, the phone rings at 2:27. Someone is up, and he requested an electronica song, "Sexy Boy" by Air Ford searches the CD-filled studio but doesn't find it.
Then someone else calls. Lawrence is awake. It's a student in need, who says, "I need you to keep me awake. I've got class at 7:30."
Ford isn't much better off. He has Western Civilization at 8:30. He usually stays up all night on Mondays. Otherwise, he'd sleep all day.
As time passes, he digs
through CDs and plays a strange variety of songs. At one point, he plays a song by R&B singer Al Green followed by "Benjamin" by Burning Star Corps, something that sounds more like silence punctuated by faroff noises than a song.
This is what it's about: playing what you want. There's an attraction in that for Ford. He probably won't have a career as a DJ; he's undecided on his major and doesn't see himself working for a commercial station after he graduates. He simply digs playing music for a college station,
at any time of night.
Frank Tankard/KANSAN
Taylor Ford, Olathe sophomore, invites listeners to call in at 2:45 a.m. Monday during his music show on 90.7 KJHK. Ford works the graveyard shift at the student-run radio station from 2 to 4 a.m. on Mondays.
He receives call number three at 3:11. It's a busy night. It's a gas station attendant who doesn't have a request; he wants to know the phone number of SafeRide for a drunk person at the gas station.
At 3:42, Blake Grossenburg.
Winner, S.D., junior, comes in the door to choose the songs for his 4 to 6 a.m. shift. Ford's night is almost over.
"Two-hour shifts are too short," he said. "Right when I get into the
feeling that I'm playing a vibe or whatever, it'll be time to go."
At 3:56, Ford plays a melancholy song called "Under an Old Umbrella" by Marissa Nadler and puts away the CDs he placed.
Then he walks out into the cold, black night and climbs into his car. As he pulls out of the parking lot, a man in a red Jeep drives by, delivering the morning paper and, perhaps, listening to the radio.

ENROLLMENT
Web sites move instructor reputations into the digital world
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
TOP OF THE CLASS
Enrollment for the spring semester is fast approaching, and the use of instructor-rating Web sites is one way students choose their courses, but professors have mixed feelings on the sites.
Who knew that physical attractiveness, along with helpfulness and easiness, was an essential part of being a college instructor.
Eva Pottruck, Coral Springs. Fla., sophomore; said she found that her fellow students were helpful when it came to finding the scoop on the University of Kansas' teachers. Going online and viewing their thoughts in various forums was a big factor in her decision in what math class to take.
"I didn't know if I should take 105 or 106," Pottruck said. "I looked on the Internet, and the 106 instructor got amazing
reviews. The class really was good, so I think it was really helpful for me."
Perhaps the most recognized Web site for this purpose is ratemyprofessors.com.
The national site offers students a forum to comment on and rate their instructors on various criteria. They are rated on easiness, helpfulness, clarity, and even "hotness." At the end of the form, students have an opportunity to write a description of what they did or didn't like about the class or the teacher.
Where to find ratings on KU professors:
John Swapceinski, president and founder of the site, said it was helpful for students and was an effective way for them to make sure they are learning in the best possible environment.
"Every semester, thousands of students use the site to help plan their class schedules, and improve the quality of their educations." Swapceinski said in a statement posted on the site. "Ratings grow like wildfire and

students really begin to benefit from the information."
A Google search of "professor ratings" revealed several sites that offer students opportunities to read reviews of teachers and make their own opinions heard as well. In addition to ratemyprofessors.com, other sites provide access to reviews of KU professors as well.
Tim Shafet, professor in the school of business, who had received 52 ratings from students in his 200-level accounting class at ratemyprofessors.com, said he didn't have a problem with students using the ratings as long as they took other factors into account when choosing classes.
"The problem would come
if there is no context, such as the level and type of course, for understanding what the ratings mean," he said.
Bias and sample sizes are possible problems. Shaftel said the majority of people who would take the time to do the survey would be dissatisfied or disgruntled students who either didn't like the instructor or the subject. A student who hates math, he said, could write a bad review that would not represent the feelings of a student who loved it. Anonymity could create a comfort zone as well.
Pottruck said she thought sampling size wouldn't create a problem because the people who knew the most about the instructors' abilities were the ones who actually took the class. Some classes are small, and it is not possible to get a large sample base.
myprofessors.com and looked at some of the ratings. She said she didn't think that the site was a useful tool for students who should be looking for the best education possible.
Sandra Zimdars-Swartz, professor in religious studies and humanities and western civilization, said she had visited rate-
"I didn't think the evaluations and comments matched what I know of my colleagues' teaching," she said. "But then I'm a rather old and cranky conservative who isn't into education as a consumer commodity."
Pottruck said the site was important because a bad professor could ruin an otherwise great class and prevent the student from reaching the highest possible level of learning.
Shaftel said he would advise students to talk to their friends who have taken the courses they are thinking of enrolling in. He said they would probably give the best possible advice because they would have common interests and know a person's strengths and weaknesses.

Center marks 25 years of disability research
The Research and Training Center on Independent Living celebrated its 25 year anniversary as an organization at the University on Saturday.
The center does research to improve the day-to-day lives of people with disabilities, said Glen White, director of the center. Problems usually arise because of the environment people with disabilities live in, White said.
"If things aren't working, we try to change the system," he said.
In 1980, James Budde, along with other members of the KU community, won a grant from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, allowing Budde to establish the center at the University. Budde directed the program for 22 years until he retired in 2002. White took his place.
On Saturday the center hosted a public panel discussion in celebration of the anniversary. White said the panel discussed the center's history,
the scientists who have contributed to research policy and programs on a national level and what the next 25 years would be like.
Next for the center is a professional seminar this Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00 at 2092 Dole. White said he would present ideas for disaster preparation and emergency response for people with disabilities.
Thirty sites were selected as disaster areas to research disaster preparation and response for people with disabilities. Five of those sites were in the gulf region and three of those sites were directly hit by hurricanes.
White said the presentation would be based on a grant given three years ago from the institute.
"These are some timely issues,"White said. "There is not much research in the area of disasters, so we are trying to bring these things to the forefront"

The background is blurry, but it seems to be an indoor setting with some shadows cast by overhead lighting. The person's attire suggests they are dressed for a ballet performance or practice.

Republican Morrison to play host to conferences without governor
OLATHE — Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison has scheduled a series of news conferences today to announce a statewide political campaign "not involving the governor's office," a spokesperson said Monday.
Morrison, a Republican, will start his news conferences at the Johnson County Courthouse, where he has prosecuted and won such infamous cases as the Richard Grissom and John Robinson murder trials. His wife and spokeswoman, Joyce Morrison, would not say if he planned to challenge Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline in the Republican primary next August. Morrison was re-elected to office in 2004, meaning he wouldn't face re-election for the district attorney's office until 2008.
Other Republicans, though, speculated that Morrison would take on Kline.
Volunteer Habit-at work
"Phill Kline is always vulnerable because he is so controversial," state Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood, told The Kansas City Star in a story on the newspaper's Web site Monday. "It will be a very expensive, controversial race."

Udder adventure in dairy land
Topeka farmer wants to bottle, market milk
AGRICULTURE
BY MICHAEL HOOPER
THE TOPEKA CAPITAL JOURNAL
TOPEKA — Tim and Laurel Iwig are on a quest to join an emerging trend of dairy farmers who bottle and market their own milk.
At the Iwig farm, the venture will be a repeat of past operations in the 1930s, when the family bottled and delivered milk in the Topeka area.
The Iwigs hope to have their milk operation going again by May.
"We're sitting right on top of Topeka if people will buy it," Iwig said.
Robert Shatto, of Shatto Milk Co. in Osborn, Mo., is a forerunner in this trend in St. Joseph, Mo., and the Kansas City area.
Iwig said his dairy farm hadn't posted a profit in years. He said
he was faced with either getting out of the business or changing course.
By selling and marketing his own milk, he said, he could command a higher price for his product.
Iwig said he planned to use the recyclable milk bottles as an environmentally safe advantage over plastic. Plastic adds an undesirable taste to milk, Iwig said.
"Milk in glass tastes better," he said.
The Iiwg family farm, founded in 1910, has 70 milking cows and is raising 65 replacements.
Iwig's father, Warren Iwig,
84, was born on the Iwig family
farm in southeast Topeka.
He said he remembered when the farm used to provide milk to local hospitals many years ago.
on the farm but would be inade- equate today.
The building where bottling was done in the 1930s is still
Iwig said he had struggled every step of the way to get his own bottling and marketing operation going — running into roadblocks from several agencies.
To satisfy a fire marshal request, he said, he had to enlarge an addition to an existing barn requiring thousands of more dollars in construction expenses.
Iwig said the 40-by-60-foot building being added to the farm would include a processing plant and retail outlet.
Iwig hired consultant Larry Swain, who helped him put together a business plan. The Iwigs have received assurances from stores in Topeka who want to carry their milk products.
Laurel lwig said the farm was a great place for people to come

and see a real milking operation and view the animals.
The Iwigs have Holstein and Jersey cows. The Holstein is the better producer, but the Jersey has richer milk, said milk connoisseur Warren Iwig, who still works a little every day on the farm.
Commercial milk sold today doesn't taste anything like the milk he enjoyed growing up on the farm, Warren Iwig said
To bring back the best flavor, the Iwigs will produce both pasteurized and homogenized milk.

HURRICANE WILMA
Storm hits Florida with Category 3 power
BY CURT ANDERSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Hurricane Wilma knifed through Florida with winds up to 125 mph Monday, shattering windows in skyscrappers, peeling away roofs and knocking out power to 6 million people. There is still a month left to go in the busiest Atlantic storm season on record.
At least six deaths were blamed on the hurricane in Florida, bringing the toll from the storm's march through the tropics to 25.
After a slow, week-long journey that saw it pound Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula for two days, Wilma made a mercifully swine-seven-hour dash across lower Florida, from its southwestern corner to heavily populated Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast.
"We have been huddled in the living room trying to stay away from the windows. It got pretty violent there for a while." said 25-year-old Eddie Kenny, who was at his parents' home in Plantation near Fort Lauderdale. "We have trees down all over the place and two fences have been totally demolished, crushed, gone."
The insurance industry estimated insured losses in Florida at anywhere from $2 billion to $9 billion.
Officials said it was the most damaging storm to hit the Fort Lauderdale area since 1950.
After a slow, weeklong journey that saw it pound Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula for two days, Wilma made a mercifully swift seven-hour dash across lower Florida, from its southwestern corner to heavily populated Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast.
THE MOVEMENTS OF THE FUTURE
The 21st storm of the 2005
season howled ashore around daybreak just south of Marco Island as a Category 5, cutting electricity to the entire Florida Keys. A tidal surge of up to 9 feet swamped parts of Key West in chest-high water, and the only highway to the mainland was flooded.
Darron R. Silva/THE NAPLES DAILY NEWS
By early afternoon, Wilma had swirled out into the open Atlantic, back up to 115-mph Category 3 strength but on a course unlikely to have much effect on the East Coast. Forecasters said it would stay well offshore.
Wilma brought 8 inches of rain to Miami-Dade County, nearly 6 1/2 to Naples and 3 to Fort Lauderdale. The flooding could well have been worse if the storm had lingered over the state instead of racing straight through, National Hurricane Center meteorologist Mark McInerney said.
"There's really no good scenario for a hurricane," he said. "Just a lesser of two evils."
Judy Borgia looks over the damage done by Hurricane Wilma to the mobile home of her nephew, Bubba Dennison, in East Naples, Fla., Monday morning. The hurricane tore apart the porch and a shed at the home in Holiday Manor Trailer Park.

Persistant pill-popping popularizing
Rush Limbaugh is on drugs. In 2003, the conservative radio show host admitted to having an addiction to pain killers and is now being investigated for illegally purchasing thousands of powerful pain pills. Shocked? No, not really. In this age of pill-popping mania it's hard not to be on drugs.
Becoming a prescription drug dealer wasn't on my agenda last month, but after a series of unfortunate events, I found myself stockpiled with Adderrall, pain pills, stress relievers and muscle relaxants. I had a whole pharmacy in my medicine cabinet and a line of customers ready to spend a few bucks on a few pills.
This scenario isn't all that surprising. We live in a society of medicated zombies. A pill is prescribed for every ailment
I am a teacher and coach who
BETSY MCLEOD

from a sprained ankle to post traumatic stress disorder. Three out of four people I know are on some form of anti-depressant, anxiety medication or mood disorder pill, and those who aren't prescribed buy them. Are we a rare breed, those of us who rely on artificial happiness to make everyday, mundane life more bearable? Or are we just faces in a crowd of closet prescription junkies?
Advertisements on TV make us feel like everything could be a sign of a disease or disorder. One commercial asks, "Are you
tired in the morning? You might have a sleep disorder." Then there are the commercials that show people dancing and laughing and having the time of their lives, and at the end the name of a drug flashes across the screen. What is the drug for? No one's really sure, but hey, the people on TV have a good life because of it.
The pharmaceutical industry in the United States spends more than $3 billion a year on drug advertisements, and society wonders why there are so many cases of drug abuse. High school students are now investing their time in "pharming parties," where, instead of getting drunk off of their parents' liquor cabinet, they trade and buy different prescriptions from the medicine cabinet.
There are those among us
who see nothing wrong with buying Adderall and Xanax at $5 a pop, just to relax a little more or study a little harder. With the availability of so many different mood elevators and anti-anxiety pills, it's no wonder it's become an everyday thing to pop a few to get through the day.
The latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health showed that 7.5 million people in the US were current users of prescription drugs non-medically. Approximately 20 percent of the population had admitted to prescription drug abuse in the lifetime. In addition, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse reported that more than 15 million Americans had abused prescription drugs in the past year.
The ease with which we can get a hold of powerful stimulants and pain relievers is a part in the prescription-addiction problem. In my experience, doctors use very little restraint in prescribing fix-its, as long as the symptoms appear accurate. Online prescriptions are available all over the Internet, and doctor shopping has become our new favorite pastime.
Most people don't do their homework and research what they're buying. Certain mixtures of prescriptions can lead to cardiac arrest or blood clots. Would a death be my responsibility, if I sold meds to someone who didn't know the risks?
Results from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse showed that the number of people using prescription drugs for nonmedical purposes for the first time increased by 500 percent between the mid-
1980s and 2000 (from 400 thousand to 2 million). Emergency Room visits related to prescription opioid use increased by 123 percent between 1994 and 2001.
How far will it escalate? When will society find another way to escape real life?
Because we live in a college town, it's easy to find others just like us, who drink away the pain and smoke some meaning into life. It's easier to ignore statistics and warning labels if others do as well. This is what we grew up with, having a pill cocktail every morning with our Cheerios. It's become nomal to be medicated.
After all, in the wise words of Weezer. "We are all on drugs."

LETTER THE EDITOR
Secular life has rewards
Like countless philosophers, religious figures and everyday average Joes, Andrew Soukup wonders from where a sense of decency and morality originates.
I do not doubt that many people find indispensable direction through faith in a higher power, even in "faith for faith's sake." I disagree, however, entirely with the sentiment that decency and morality can only be found through faith.
Mr. Soukup asserts, "[Decency and morality] certainly could not have sprung from ... secular humanism." Before attempting to respond to this statement, I would like to establish my belief that decency and morality are ultimately arbitrary; but, I will use these terms in the practical sense.
Now, I would like to use myself as an example to disprove Mr. Soukup's assertion.
My family was one of those families that went to the Presbyterian Church up the street on only Easter and Christmas. But we did not pray together at home.
We never discussed whether we believed or how we believed in God.
- Because church and religion have never been a significant part of my life, I have never classified myself as a religious person.
Thus, while in high school, I labeled myself as "spiritual, but not religious." Looking back on this label, I recognize I had merely created this classification out of fear that others would assume I was an immoral human being.
I even wondered whether they could be right, that because of my lack of religion and spirituality, I would one day lose my sense of moral direction.
So I believed in God because I thought I should. With hindsight, I now see that I was neither religious nor spiritual. And yet I contend that I have as strong a sense of morality as anyone who practices religion.
My parents—neither of who was raised in a religious family
had just as much influence on my decency and morality as any guideline delineated in a religious text. They raised me to be a caring, considerate, intelligent and responsible human being without using religious guidelines.
I challenge Mr. Soukup — and anyone who shares his contention that decency and morality can stem only from faith — to pick me out of a crowd as someone who, by his definition of morality, is immoral or lacks the tools needed to make my own judgment on whether something is
right, wrong, good or bad.
Furthermore, that a lack of belief begets a sense of meaninglessness in life is poorly supported in his article, perhaps because it is entirely unfounded.
Yes, many people derive meaning from their lives through religion. But it does not logically follow that every single non-religious person has no sense of meaning.
I, for one, believe my life to be quite meaningful. My life will be fulfilled through my actions, even if these actions are devoid of religious ties.
I am not attempting to argue whether religion is real or whether religion should even be practiced. In fact, I find myself in agreement with Mr. Soukup that religion can be a foundation for decency and morality, to do great things and to find meaning in life.
The disagreement lies in his belief that none of these things can possibly be the result of atheism or agnosticism.
But because there is no way to prove to Mr. Soukup that I am a decent human being and that I feel my life is meaningful, he just will take my assertions on faith.

Everyone has difficulties in their lives that can cause them to lose sight of who they truly are, but that doesn't mean that they are doomed to be bad human beings, or that they are lost forever.
Religion not end-all solution
When I read the article by Andrew Soukup entitled "Benefits of keeping the faith," I couldn't help but voice my opinion on what I thought was his misrepresentation of the general population of universities.
He seems to think that students who don't have a "spiritual home" currently live their lives according to the ideal of what he calls "secular humanism," which is defined in his article as, "...a philosophy holding that anything goes as long as it's not motivated by some sense of obligation to anyone or anything."
All it means is that you choose not to subscribe to any particular spiritual belief.
I read this as saying that those of us who do not choose to embrace some form of spirituality live our lives doing whatever we want, whenever we want, with no regard for other people and their thoughts or feelings.
Deep down, I know that I am a good person, and that my true motivations and intentions are always positive.
♭ Blaggio Ortiz
Olathe senior in psychology.
If this is the case, then it's a severely skewed view of the ideals that I think most students live their lives by.
I am not anti-religious, and I don't believe that religion oppresses people, but rather, for some individuals, it is an avenue that allows them to live their life to the fullest, a fact that I greatly respect.
"I, for one, would rather live in a false dream than a real nightmare." Soukup said.
But, what allows people to
The way I see it, you can live a secular life, still respect other human beings and achieve happiness and fulfillment at the same time.
I take this to mean that it is better to delude yourself into happiness than live in the "nightmare" of secular humanism.
V
This is possible because living a secular life doesn't mean that you believe in nothing, nor does it mean that you feel nothing for other human beings thoughts and feelings.

OBITUARY
Rosa Parks dies at 92
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Rosa Lee Parks, whose refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man sparked the modern civil rights movement, died Monday. She was 92.
Mrs. Parks died at her home of natural causes, said Karun Mongan, a spookewoman for U.S. Rep. John Copwors. D-Mich
Mrs. Parks was 42 when she committed an act of defiance in 1955 that was to change the course of American history and earn her the title "mother of the civil rights movement."
At that time, Jim Crow laws in place since the post-Civil War Reconstruction required separation of the races in buses, restaurants and public accommodations throughout the South, while legally sanctioned racial discrimination kept blacks out of many jobs and neighborhoods in the North.
(1)
Parks
The Montgomery, Ala., seamstress, an active member of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, was riding on a city bus Dec. 1, 1955, when a white man demanded her seat.
Mrs. Parks refused, despite rules requiring blacks to yield their seats to whites. Two black Montgomery women had been arrested earlier that year on the same charge, but Mrs. Parks was jailed. She also was fined $14.
Speaking in 1992, she said history too often maintains "that my feet were hurting and I didn't know why I refused to stand up when
they told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind of treatment for too long."
Her arrest triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system organized by a then little-known Baptist minister, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who later earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.
"At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this," Mrs. Parks said 30 years later. "It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people ioined in."
The Montgomery bus boycott, which came one year after the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark declaration that separate schools for blacks and whites were "inherently unequal," marked the start of the modern civil rights movement.
Buses
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The dim sign happened because the light bulbs burned out and weren't replaced. Courtney decided to take matters into his own hands and wrote his own sign, using white poster board and black permanent marker.
Courtney said it was annoying to have his sign so dim because riders frequently had to ask him what route he was driving. He said it slowed him down and made the bus late.
He said he understood that there must be things that are a higher priority to the bus company, especially because the bus company has a fleet of 40 buses.
And he realizes that repairs cannot always be made right away. "I can put up with a couple of minor problems." he said.
But what really worried Courtney was that bus drivers have been leaving the KU on Wheels routes because of low wages. The job isn't attractive because it is hard work and it takes a lot of time to learn the quirks of it, he said. And if the wages aren't good enough, people have no incentive to take the job, he said.
The root of the problem, he said, is that the University doesn't contribute enough money to the bus system.
KU on Wheels made just under $875,000 last year, Quisenberry of. Of that amount, half
was from student fees, and the remainder came from user fees, such as the sale of bus passes.
The Lawrence Bus Company received just over $600,000 this year for providing KU on Wheels with buses and drivers. About $272,000 was given to Safe Ride and the Lift Van, two services offered to students by KU on Wheels.
Mortinger said the Lawrence Bus Company determined how funds were used, what repairs would be made, and when those repairs would be made.
The Lawrence Bus Company did not return phone calls asking for comment.

Kansas eyes postseason despite losses
BY MATT WILSON

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
it's hard to believe it's come to this.
With the Big 12 volleyball season entering the home stretch, Kansas finds itself in a struggle to find the formula for success that it enjoyed earlier in the season.
Without it the Jajhawks will most likely find themselves on the outside looking in when the NCAA tournament comes around, a scenario that most people around the conference would have scoffed at three weeks ago.
If you ask the players and coaches, they are still optimistic about their chances for a
berth in the tournament. At 12-8 overall and 4-7 in conference play, the Jayhawks will have to win at least four, maybe five of their final nine matches to qualify.
Last year, no team from the conference qualified with less than nine victories in league competition.
After that, Kansas still has matches against nationally-ranked opponents Texas, Kansas State and Missouri left on its slate. Each of those teams has beaten Kansas this year.
“It’s another opportunity for us to get better,” he said. “There

are some technical things we need to improve on, but they are fixable."
More meaningful than getting better at this point in the season is tallying victories, which the Jayhawks have not been able to do in their last five matches.
"Earlier it was about executing," Bechard said, "but even if you don't play your cleanest, most technically-correct match, if you can find a way to win, that is most important."
At one point, Kansas was 11-2 overall and 3-1 in league matches. Since then the Jayhawks have tanked, going 1-6 in their past seven matches.
Last season, seven teams from the Big 12 were selected to play in the NCAA tournament. Kansas currently is tied for eighth place in the league with Baylor, following the Bears' victory against the Jayhawks Saturday night.
Senior outside hitter Paula Caten said the team was more
than capable of reaching its goal despite its recent struggle.
"We can't worry about anything else but how we play," she said. "We are still confident that we can make it to nationals."
One of the thoughts the Jayhawks may still have lingering in the back of their minds is the loss of junior outside hitter Jana

Missouri men's basketball coach Quin Snyder talks to players during a game Jan. 31 in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas split the season series with Missouri, winning at home and losing in Columbia, Mo. Snyder said at the Big 12 Media Day in Dallas, Texas last week that he was confident in the season outlook for his team.

Spend a few minutes talking with Missouri men's basketball coach Quin Snyder, and it's clear that his Tigers have a new outlook on the upcoming season.
After three basketball seasons overshadowed by the recruitment, suspension, legal troubles, termination of Ricky Clemons and an ensuing NCAA investigation, Snyder said his team was ready to move on.
"It's like that old saying about adversity, it either splinters you up or it brings you closer together, and I think for our team it did both." Snyder said. "I never thought it splintered us, we stayed together. Any time you talked to our team after the game they never pointed fingers. But down deep in the back of your head

you had to wonder if it is being done."
There are no such doubts with this year's squad, which will be without graduated seniors Arthur Johnson, Ricky Paulding, Jason Conley and early-entry NBA draft pick Linas Kleiza, who went 27th. Snyder said this team was all about giving back to each other, the program and the fans that stuck with them throughout the turmoil.
"I think we are set up to take off, and this year whether you want to call it a stepping stone or whatever our guys are excited to give back the team," Snyder said. "They aren't thinking about their own (stuff) so to speak. They are thinking about one another."
Snyder raised some eyebrows at last week's Big 12 media day by spouting off an ardent defense of his players and the program. Snyder didn't directly come out and defend his job status, which is viewed by some as shaky, but he was passionate about the new attitude of this year's team.
"Jason Horton comes up to me the other day and says 'Coach, you doing OK?' and I'm like I'm fine, how are you?" Snyder recalled. "It's about each

Freshmen bring offense to life in loss

After the offense sputtered through its first three conference games, changes were made on the offensive line against Colorado. Two freshmen made the best of that opportunity.
Freshman Ryan Cantrell started at right guard and freshman Anthony Collins played most of the game at right tackle.
Their impact helped the offense gain more than 350 total vards against the Buffalooes.
Cantrell and Collins helped give senior quarterback Jason Swanson time to throw the football. Swanson threw for 291 yards and a touchdown.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Sunday that he was strongly considering starting Collins this weekend against Missouri.
"He's more physical, and that is something that we do need," Mangino said.
Mangino said that if Collins did not start, he would still see
a large amount of time on the field.

forced the gameplan toward the passing game.
"He's one of the strongest guys we have," Mangino said. "He's not a real tall guy, but he's powerful."
Cantrell is listed at 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds.
Collins, Cantrell and sophomore Cesar Rodriguez are the three youngest players on the line who see playing time. Rodriguez has started all season at left tackle.
Mangino said the youth on the offensive line would help the team in the future.
Collins and Cantrell's increased playing time will likely mean less for junior Travis Dambach and senior Matt Thompson, who have both played on the right side of the line.
A kickoff time against Nebraska on Nov. 5 has yet to be announced by the conference and may not be made until next week.

Mangino said yesterday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference that he would likely start Jason Swanson at quarterback against Missouri.

New QB has right moves
It wasn't the elevation that defeated Kansas on Saturday night in Boulder, Colo. It was the Colorado tight ends, the horrendous KU special teams and the turnovers.
One might look at Jason Swanson's stat line and say that he didn't play well. After all, there is nothing good about three interceptions.
The loss marked Kansas' fourth in a row and dropped the Jayhawks to 0-4 in the conference. But finally, with the Jayhawks two losses away from being eliminated from bowl eligibility, the right man got his shot at quarterback.
But what was good was that he threw for nearly 300 yards, and he found the endzone. That's something Brian Luke can no longer do.
It would be nice to see Mangino keep Swanson in control of this football team until the season is done. There's no question that he gives the Jayhawks the best chance to win — and the best chance to score.
Swanson proved in the loss to Colorado that he was not afraid to throw the ball down the field. In the second quarter, the Jayhawks trailed 16-3, and Swanson took two opportunities down the field to senior wide receiver Mark Simmons that if caught would have resulted in long touchdowns.
Swanson did, however, complete a 40-yard bomb to junior wide receiver/cornerback Charles Gordon earlier in the game.
A 40-yard pass play is something that has almost been forgotten in the Kansas offense.
On both plays Swanson made good reads to spot the single coverage, but on both plays the Colorado defenders made outstanding defensive plays.
Aside from having the confidence and the ability to throw the ball deep, he throws a better pass than Luke.
Luke can only complete a pass if his feet are firmly set and he has a man wide open, Swanson was able to complete passes under pressure and throw the ball accurately into tight coverage.
It's something that will happen more frequently with Swanson at the helm.
.
With four games left and three of them at home, a bowl game appearance is still possible. Swanson's health is at 100 percent, and he wants to end his college career in a good wav.
With Swanson in charge, there is still hope of a post season. It is far fetched, but it's not impossible.
Yes, Kansas football has been difficult to watch for the past month, and ironically it started to look better during the team's worst loss of the season.
Colorado is a good football team, and the Buffaloes are tough to beat at Folsom Field. Colorado's only losses came to Miami and Texas, two of the best teams in the nation.
But with Missouri coming to Memorial Stadium for Homecoming weekend, Kansas has a new look, and its name is Jason Swanson.

ST.LOUIS - St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz will miss the rest of the season with a bacterial infection of a heart valve that has already sidelined him for two games.
"This is very difficult for me to do." Martz said at a news conference Monday. "But I know it's the right thing to do."
Martz, who has one year remaining on his contract, expects to be back next season. He's 56-37 in his sixth season with the team, taking them to one Super Bowl and serving as offensive coordinator for the franchise's only championship after the 1999 season.
Team president John Shaw also said he expected Martz to return.
"Our No.1 concern is his health." Shaw said. "He has a contract and we expect him to coach."
Martz told the team Monday that his illness would prevent him from performing his duties.

Tigers tie for lead in North Longhorns lead South
BY DANIEL BERK

KANSAN SPORT WRITER/SPEAKER
Missouri quarterback Brad Smith's performance last week against Nebraska was not only good enough to capture Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, but he was also named National Offensive Player of the Week.
The senior quarterback, who will lead Missouri into Lawrence Saturday to face Kansas, tallied a school record 480 yards of total offense, including 246 rushing yards.
Smith became just the sixth player in NCAA history to rush for more than 200 yards and throw for more than 200 yards in the same game.
Missouri senior quarterback Brad Smith, center, scamper past the Nebraska defense for one of his three rushing touchdowns last Saturday in Missouri's 41-24 victory against Nebraska. Smith was the sixth player in NCAA history to compile more than 200 rushing and 200 passing yards in the same game. He was named National Offensive Player of the Week.
Smith was forced to leave the game against Iowa State in the fourth quarter last week because of an injury.
He did not register 100 yards of total offense.
With the victory against Nebraska, Missouri is in a twoway tie with Colorado for the North division.
Smith's performance is even more impressive considering Nebraska's rush defense entered the game first in the nation and hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher in its previous three games.
Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said during Monday's Big 12 Coaches teleconference he was pleased with his team and especially Smith.
"Brad didn't have his best game against Iowa State, but he responded well as a competitor," Pinkel said. "It was pretty gratifying for me to see him come back like that. He is such a tough competitor."
The senior quarterback, who will lead Missouri into Lawrence Saturday to face Kansas, tallied a school record 480 yards of total offense, including 246 rushing yards.
The Tigers and Buffaloes are 3-1 in conference play and will play each other in Boulder. Colo., in two weeks.
Colorado moved to 3-1 during the weekend with a 44-13 victory against Kansas at home. Colorado will travel to Manhattan this weekend to play Kansas State.
Kansas State fell to 1-3 in conference play last weekend with a close home loss to Texas A&M. 30-28.
Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said his team played well, but had turnovers and penalties that cost the Wildcats
"Colorado has done nothing to disappoint the people that picked them to win the division," Snyder said. "Quarterback) Joel Klatt is playing like a college senior. He has really
matured over the last few seasons."
in the end.
Snyder said the team was aware of what a loss would do to its chances in the North. He said it would be a difficult test at home against a Colorado team that many media outlets picked to win the North.
Things became clearer in the South division last weekend as No. 2 Texas defeated No. 17 Texas Tech at home, 52-17. It was Texas Tech's first loss on the season and dropped its overall record to 6-1.
"We got beat pretty good," Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach said. "I thought the game was closer than the score. But we got slaughtered on field position and key situations. Texas did a better job capitalizing on key situations than we did."
Honors
Besides Smith, Iowa State senior cornerback LaMarcus Hicks and Oklahoma sophomore kicker Garrett Hartley were named Big 12 Players of the Week.
Hicks had two interceptions and seven tackles in Iowa State's blowout victory against Oklahoma State at home. Hartley connected on all three field goal attempts, with his longest at 39 yards in Oklahoma's 37-30 double overtime victory against Baylor.

Texas football coach Mack Brown greets quarterback Vince Young as the offense leaves the field during fourth quarter action in their 52-17 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday in Austin. The Longhorns slipped past Southern California into first place Monday because of a stellar showing in the Bowl Championship Series computer rankings.
Texas rises in polls
Longhorns gain standing in bowl series
BY RALPH D. RUSSO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Texas is No.
1 by whisker in Bowl Championship Series standings.
The Longhorns slipped past Southern California into first place Monday thanks to a stellar showing in the BCS computer rankings.
Second last week, Texas' BCS average of .9763 out of a possible 1.000 was just ahead of second-place USC (.9756), the slimmest margin between Nos. 1 and 2 in the eight-year history of the organization.
The top two teams in the final standings play in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 for the BCS title.
USC is top-ranked in The Associated Press media poll, the USA Today coaches' poll and the Harris Interactive poll. The coaches' poll and the Harris poll make up two-thirds of a team's BCS grade. A compilation of six computer rankings account for the other third, with the highest and lowest ranking for each team dropped.
Texas is second in all three polls, but gained a few points on USC from voters after a 52-17 victory over previously unbeaten Texas Tech on Saturday. Computer polls, however, weigh heavily on strength of schedule and the win over the Red Raiders gave Texas a big boost.
er rankings. Struggling Arizona State (3-4), which was ranked when USC won at Tempe on Oct. 1, is also hurting the Trojans in the strength-of-schedule category.
USC was atop one computer ranking and second in three others. One computer had the Trojans fourth, another fifth.
USC's 51-24 victory over Washington (1-6) did nothing to help the Trojans in the comput-
Despite the slip in this week's BCS rankings, if the Trojans can maintain their strong grip on No. 1 in each poll, they'll be tough to catch.
Virginia Tech is still in third. Georgia and Alabama were next, holding their spots from last week. UCLA moved up three places to sixth, putting the nation's six unbeaten teams at the front of the BCS standings.

Athletics spokesman Chad Molter said the university appreciated fan enthusiasm but rushing the field was over the line.
Richard Thomas Rose, of Benton City, Wash., was killed Saturday at the Minnesota school. The cause of death was suspected to be a blow from the goal post, school officials said.
"We don't condone that act and we try to do everything we can to prevent it," he said. "It's not a safe situation, and it can obviously hurt a number of people."

Ups and downs for conference
K-State loses Iowa State wins big
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State hasn't been over 500 at the midpoint of its Big 12 season since 2000, but over that four-year span, the Wildcats have been to three bowl games, won one of their three North Division titles and earned their only conference championship in 2003.
At 4-3 overall and 1-3 in Big 12 play, their purple-clad backs are against the wall once more.
Kansas State made progress behind freshman quarterback Allan Evridge in Saturday's 30-28 loss to Texas A&M but also hurt itself with a rash of dropped passes, three turnovers and 99 yards in penalties.
"We're kind of at a pivotal point in that respect," coach Bill Snyder said Monday, during the Big 12 coaches' weekly conference call. "It's getting late in the season, so to speak. We've gone past the halfway mark, and it's going to be interesting to see whether this football team can have the spirit and discipline to do what would make us a better football team, one capable of turning our fortunes around."
"Those are things that will get you beat versus any football team," said Snyder, whose team hosts North co-leader and defending division champion Colorado this weekend. "Those are
things that will take discipline and focus to correct, but they're solvable problems."
A similar situation exists at Iowa State, where the Cyclones lost their first
three conference games in 2004 but then ran off a fourgame winning streak before a 17-14 overtime loss to Missouri knocked them out of the Big 12 title game.
overtime against Baylor on Saturday and had just six yards on eight carries in the two games before that.
This year,
Iowa State also
started Big 12
play 0-3 before
beating Oklahoma State 37-10 on Saturday.
Kansas State made progress behind freshman quarterback Allan Evridge in Saturday's 30-28 loss to Texas A&M but also hurt itself with a rash of dropped passes, three turnovers and 99 yards in penalties.
"He is much further along
The difference is that in 2004, the Cyclones' first three opponents outscored them 89-20. This year, the 0-3 start includes a seven-point loss in double overtime to Nebraska and a threepoint overtime loss to Missouri.
"We're not hammering on that, but it's a good point to bring up," Iowa coach Dan McCarney said.
"A couple of those teams last year had kicked our tails," McCarney said. "This year, there hasn't been any tail-kicking."
Oklahoma, which travels to Nebraska on Saturday, and Iowa State both expect their featured running backs to return from injury this week.
Adrian Peterson, the Heisman runner-up as a freshman last year, has struggled with a slow-healing ankle injury this season. He did not play in the Sooners' 37-30 win in double
than he was a week ago, having rested," O k l a h o m a coach Bob Stoops said "We feel he'll be a lot closer, coming into this game, and we're going to work toward playing him. Now, it's Monday, and can I be definitive about that? I can't."
Hicks, who rushed for 1,062 yards in 2004, has been slowed all season by injury — McCarney won't discuss details — and hasn't played since the Cyclones' 28-21 victory over Army on Sept. 23.
"We could have used him Saturday, from an emergency standpoint," McCarney said. "I wanted to give him some more rest, and the doctors agreed."
"It shouldn't be easier, but I think it might be." Leach said. "I can't specifically tell you why, but I think maybe when the margin of error is closer, there's a little more second-guessing."
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach said the 16th-ranked Red Raiders might have an easier time of bouncing back from Saturday's 52-17 loss to No. 2 Texas than if they had lost a squeaker to the Longhorns.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2005: You enter a spectacular year in which you can have white rabbits popping out of black hats. Forget the word "impossible." You can accomplish what you want. Never let pessism into your thinking; simply make what you want to happen. You enter a new luck cycle, with this year being especially lucky. Emphasize your long-term goals, and don't let this energy diffuse into nowhere. If you are single, your high magnetism draws many suitors. Take your time choosing. If you are attached, your relationship needs time and attention. You are not the center of the universe. LEO pushes you into the limelight.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
******* the planet Jupiter changes its position today. As a result, you will be luckier with finances, especially when involved with other people. Lotteries, bingo and other games of chance could prove lucrative. Tonight: If you had the money, what would you do? Imagine.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
***** With Jupiter entering your opposite sign, much becomes possible. Others seem to respond to you far more positively than they have in many years. If you are single, in the following year, you are likely to meet someone of marriage caliber. Tonight: Get cozy at home.
★★★★ Your words have impact. Though you manifest unusual wit and creativity, you might want to direct this energy into your work or daily life. Before you know it, you might get a pay raise. Tonight: How much money do you need in order to feel comfortable?
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
**You might be willing to take a risk in order to enhance your financial situation. Think twice before leaping. Though you are entering a very lucky period as of today, don't overextend yourself. Allow your imagination to flourish. Nothing is impossible. Tonight: Add spice to your night.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
★★★ The Moon in your sign em-
powers you right now. Your emphasis
might be on a real estate invest-
ment or a domestic matter. You might decide
to buy a new home or expand your
family in the next few months. Tonight:
Whatever puts a smile on your face.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Step back and take your time. Though your mind might be racing with many different ideas, and others might make many requests, you still need to slow down. Jupiter moves into a segment of your chart and makes communication flow as it hasn't in years. Tonight: Think rather than act.
★★★★★ Your luck runs high,
especially during meetings and
other people. Your serious focus draws
strong reactions. Monetary gains come
through perhaps spending a little. Work
on adding more pennies to your piggy
bank. Tonight: Happy with others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★★ Jupiter enters your sign for a year, initiating a new luck and life cycle. You might experience some great highs and expansion. Sometimes you might have to say goodbye to the past, feeling a bit sad. Curb a sweet tooth. Tonight. Out on the town.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ Of late, you have been able
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
to and have wanted to take the high road. Gatting a perspective on events and people in your life can only be helpful. Do research and check facts. You are entering a year-long cycle in which you will do a lot of reflection. Tonight: Let your mind wander.
★★★★ Working with others starts becoming easier than ever. You find a newfound respect for a key associate or partner. Working as a team proves to be the path to success. Start walking. Tonight: Say yes to an earnest request.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
******* Your sense of direction might be right-on, but others want things their way. You cannot fight city hall, nor should you. Let go and have faith in your abilities. Emphasize work and responsibility. Tonight: Let the cards fall where they may.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH Emphasize your daily life, but make time to schedule a doctor's appointment. You need to take good care of yourself. Examine new possibilities with an open mind. Think positively. Start looking past the obvious. Tonight: Lie low.

Carolina drives Ottawa from top of win column
RALEIGH, N.C. - The Carolina Hurricanes rallied to hand the Ottawa Senators their first loss of the season, 3-2 on Monday night.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Brendan Shanahan and Pavel Datsyuk helped Detroit win its sixth straight game, 6-2. Manny Legace, who has been in goal in all 10 games this season, made 31 saves to tie the NHL record for victories by a goalie in October.

Bechard has remained adamant that his team has to play with the hand they've been dealt.
"We can't talk about it anymore since she's not there," he said. "I told the team we have to move on."
The Jayhawks have to move forward if they hope to be the first team in Kansas history to make the tournament three consecutive years. Senior middle blocker Josi Lima provided some direction to get through the tough times.

Fans cry foul on official calls
MLB
Technology gives viewers perspective
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Jermaine Dye did the smart thing: He kept quiet and went to first base.
Foul ball or hit by pitch?
He knew all along the ball glanced off his bat but he wasn't about to tell the umpires.
Incredibly, the men in blue had yet another questionable call to make in Game 2 of the World Series, and it seems almost every one has gone Chicago's way in October.
"These couple of calls have overshadowed the way we're playing," manager Ozzie Guillen said Monday as the teams worked out at Minute Maid Park. "Take a look at the way we play, take a look at the way we pitch, take a look at the way we come back. ... I've said before, I'd rather be lucky than good, and I think we've been more lucky than good."
If the White Sox feel slighted,
the umpies feel slandered.
Night after night, postseason games are turning on difficult calls in key situations. With slow-motion instant replay and super-camera angles, fans watching at home can clearly
That leads to unwanted attention for a distinguished group of arbiters who would rather remain anonymous. And it leads to plenty of criticism, too.
see when the umps make even a minor mistake — and especially a major one.
"They're getting blistered for things that happen every day," said Jerry Crawford, the crew chief for this year's AL championship series, which was filled with disputed calls. "My beef is you guys are supposed to report on what happens. You're not supposed to dwell on what happens."
Umpires are graded throughout the regular season, then selected for postseason assignments. Crawford, a major league ump since 1976, said he and his colleagues are doing the best they can.
"Do, we make mistakes? Absolutely," he said. "It's the weird things that have happened that have put a damper on this. The balls and strikes, there haven't been many beefs, and that's probably the most important part."
Questionable calls have marked the entire postseason—a year after umpires were praised for huddling to get key calls correct in October, even if it meant overturning the original ruling.
The ruckus began in Game 2 of this year's ALCS against the Angels, when plate umpire Doug Eddings called strike three on A.J. Pierzynski — but not the third out in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Eddings ruled that Los Angeles catcher Josh Paul did not glove Kelvim Escobar's low pitch before it hit the ground. Pierzynski alertly hustled to first in just one. so the An-
— just in case — even as the gels were walking off the field, thinking the inning was over.
Moments later, Joe Crede's game-winning double evened the series.
The confusing call sure seemed to take all the starch out of the Angels, who lost the next three games at home and were eliminated.
Later, Eddings said he should have been more emphatic in making the "no-catch" call.
Chicago has not lost since.
Pierzynski got another break in Game 4 when plate umpire Ron Kulpa did not call him for catcher's interference after his mitt tipped Steve Finley's bat.
The NLCS had its share, too. Plate umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and star centerfielder Jim Edmonds for arguing balls and strikes in Game 4.
“T
In Game 6, Astros shortstop Adam Everett missed a key tag at second base, but umpire Greg Gibson called Yadier Molina out.
I take a look at the way we play, take a look at the way we pitch, take a look at the way we come back. ... I've said before, I'd rather be lucky than good, and I think we've been more lucky than good."
Ozzie Guillen
Chicago White Sox manager
that could have been done otherwise? I think the umpires in fairness would be the first to admit that," said Mike Port, hired by the commissioner's office as vice president of umpiring on Aug. 1. "If there's any good to come from this that we've experienced thus far in the postseason, it's in the category of lessons learned."
"He might have done 67 other umpires a favor. Everybody's taken note of that play," Port said.
And Port even thinks the dispute over the Pierzynski play could have a positive effect in the future.
Dye was up Sunday night with
two on, two outs and a 3-2 count.
A foul ball would have kept him at the plate, and perhaps Houston would have escaped the jam with its 4-2 lead intact.
But he was awarded first base by plate umpire Jeff Nelson, though replays showed Dan Wheeler's seventh-inning pitch actually hit Dye's bat, not his hand or forearm — and the slugger later admitted as much. Paul Konerko followed with a go-ahead grand slam off Chad Qualls, and the White Sox beat Houston 7-6 for a 2-1 lead.
"I could see where he thought I got hit. It was a ball up and in." Dye said. "It's tough to tell with the naked eye. It showed on the replay it hit my bat, but I'm not going to tell him it hit my bat and that I'm not going to first."
Astros manager Phil Garner argued the call but didn't blame his team's loss on the umpires.
"I just don't think that was the major play," Garner said. "We had opportunities in the game we didn't take advantage of."
In fairness, the White Sox aren't winning by accident. They are 9-1 in the postseason and have won 14 of 15 games overall dating to the regular season. They've outscored their opponents 59-29 in the post-season.
"People are saying we are getting these great breaks. At the same time, they are not scoring us any runs," Pierzynski said.

one of us, coaches, staff, players giving to each other. If we do that, it can be real and it can be special. I don't know how many wins that would get, and I don't really care. I will be satisfied if we play our asses off and are unselfish.
"Who knows, they may can my ass, but you know what I'll feel
good about it. I feel great about what I've done at Missouri."
Snyder, who will be in his sixth year at Missouri, took the Tigers to four consecutive NCAA tournaments in his first four years at Missouri. Since then, the Tigers have failed to make the Big Dance and have been eliminated in the first round of the postseason NIT tournament.
Combine Missouri's off-the-
court struggles — the NCAA slapped a two-year probation on the Tigers for violations surrounding Clemons — with their struggles on the court during the past two years and the result could be frustration and anger. Snyder and his players seem to have a different outlook on it.
"What happened last year motivated me to work harder," senior center Kevin Young said of the Tigers 75-70 season-end.
ing loss to DePaul in the NIT. "It motivated our team to work harder — at times everyone gets a little frustrated, but it's just how you handle your frustration ... we all just learned how to deal with it."
Snyder said that in order to open himself up to a new, positive outlook on the season, he had to put aside all of the frustrations he had from the past three years. He said it was difficult for him to
open up the paper and read all of the negative articles about the Tigers. Snyder, however, said he has put all of the negative off-the-court drama behind him.
"I regret the quote-unquote investigation," Snyder said. "But you know what? We haven't had a violation in three years. I don't need to talk about that anymore."

Storm stories
Lawyer gives account of hurricane
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSH STAFF WRITER
Rick Jones is a man with a mission: to tell people about the real stories behind Hurricane Katrina.
Jones, a criminal lawyer, is traveling the country to speak about the time he spent volunteering to help refugees in Houston and Dallas in the aftermath of the hurricane. He came Tuesday night to the Multicultural Resource Center to speak about his experience.
The Vietnamese Student Association, Black Student Union, Asian-American Student Association and Hispanic American Leadership Organization jointly sponsored "Underrepresented Populations
and the Law after Hurricane Katrina."
Jones spoke on the detrimental effects caused by government bureaucracy to hurricane victims and the untold story of Asian Americans living along the Gulf Coast. He also emphasized that action, not blame, should be the long-term focus in the aftermath.
"There enough blame to go around, but really a lot of situations are not anyone's fault," Jones said. "Right now, we need to focus on solutions."
Jones told stories of seeing thousands of people who had nothing to eat and were wearing the same clothes for days. Trucks arrived with supplies but were turned away at the Astrodome because the local government had to approve the donations first.
He said if it were not for local churches and community organizations, many would have continued to go without basic necessities.
"People were ready to kill each other over food, and the FEMA people were tripping over their own feet," he said.
Jones said another problem he noticed was the neglected Asian-American population along the Gulf Coast region, which he estimated at about 35,000 to 40,000. He said language barriers and cultural incompetency among aid organizations plagued this demographic the most in the wake of the storm.
Suong Nguyen, Wichita senior and president of VSA, said she thought the speech was educational.
"I was surprised to know that there was such a large population but no attention was paid by the media," she said.
In addition, Jones said he worried about those who lost their jobs because of the loss of casinos in Biloxi, Miss.

STUDENT SENATE
Punished for absences
Senators face suspension for not attending meetings
BY JOHN JORDAN
jfordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Student Senate suspended three out of 14 senators cited for missing meetings. The suspended senators were Cole Smart, John Connor and Mike Barry, all Colleges of Liberal Arts and Science representatives. Senate granted appeals to the other 11 senators.
The suspended senators could appeal again by today,
but if they don't, they will be suspended for the remainder of the year and Senate will place ads for replacements on Monday.
Jason Boots, chairman of the committee that reviewed the suspended senators, said there has been a closer watch on absences this semester than there had been in the past. The Plano, Texas, senior said this led to the high number of people getting suspensions.
Nolan Jones, Pittsburg junior and Senate communications director, said whenever senators missed two meetings with unexcused absences, they had to go before the Student Executive Committee to explain missed meetings.

Entrance exam to change
Focus of GRE will reallocate
BY FRANK TANKARD
ftankard@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Graduate Record Exam, the graduate school entrance exam akin to the undergraduate SAT and ACT tests, will be overhauled and lengthened to better reflect skills learned in college, as of next October.
The GRE General Test, taken by 500,000 people worldwide each year, will be lengthened from two and a half hours to four, and each of its three sections - verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing - will be revamped.
Michael Mosser, assistant dean of the Graduate School and international programs, welcomed the change. He said the GRE, in its current form, mainly
measured a student's ability to take tests, a common criticism of standardized tests. The new test will do a better job of gauging what students learn in college, he said.
"The whole point is to make it more reflective of the real world," he said.
The new test will include more reading passages instead of analogies, real-life scenario quantitative questions instead of geometry, and a reduced reliance on memorized materials.
Alan Dibos, a Lenexa senior who took the GRE on Saturday, compared the test to the SAT in stressing memorization rather than content-based questions.
"When you get to college you work on critical thinking and detailed reasoning problems," Dibos, a physics major, said. "College is supposed to get you to think criti-
**Verbal Reasoning:**
* <b>Two 40-minute sections instead of one 30-minute section</b>
* <b>Wider selection of reading passages</b>
* <b>Less dependence on vocabulary</b>
Quantitative Reasoning:
- Two 40-minute sections instead of one 45-minute section
* More real-life scenarios and data interpretation questions
* Fewer geometry questions
* On-screen, flow-function calculator will be used
Analytical Writing:
ill be used during test
- 15 minutes shorter
* More argument and issue section

cally, and I don't think that's a main concern on the exam."
The Educational Testing Service, which writes and administers the test, is also making changes to how the test is administered because of past cheating.
Under the current format, test questions are re-used, giving students the opportunity to memorize questions and pass them along to other students.

In 2002, students in China, Taiwan and South Korea were caught for cheating on the test.
Starting next October, individual versions of the test will be administered on 29 set dates worldwide. The version used on each testing date will not be repeated.
At the University, the test is required for many graduate programs. Individual programs determine whether they require the test.

Residents move Hashinger spirit to McCollum Hall

KANSA STAFF WRITE
Julie Bayliff enjoys the performing arts and wanted to be around that environment her freshman year.
But with Hashinger Hall closed this year, she decided to find the comfort and environment of Hashinger in McCollum Hall's Home Away From Hash.
Home Away From Hash, located on the second and third floors of McCollum, combines former residents from Hashinger with freshmen who enjoy the performing arts to provide an artistic and welcoming atmosphere.
"It's a lot more colorful," said Bayliff, Lenexa freshman. "Everyone is so creative."
Residents of Home Away From Hash are trying to transplant the atmosphere and traditions from Hashinger into McCollum. The group has carried
on with Hashinger traditions such as Open Mic Night, Elevator Music and next week's Hash-O-Ween.
Steve Rold, Elk Horn, Iowa, senior, said residents from Hashinger had a strong sense of pride toward the hall. He said that Home Away From Hash provided a rally point for those who wanted to live around the same people.
Nick Tevebaugh, Lenexa freshman, lived in Hashinger last semester and wanted to stay around the Hashinger environment. He said there was a difference in community atmosphere, as Home Away from Hash floors' residents kept their doors open.
He said residents of Home Away from Hash go to dinner as a group and hang out together, with activities such as grade-school night, when residents colored pictures and ate snacks.

Who's Who at KU BY KIM WALLACE editor@kansan.com
Gene Wee Reservations Coordinator, Kansas Union
How long have you been at the Union?
Since 1969.
What is the oddest or most interesting event that you have booked at the University?
What's a typical day like for you? Well it's pretty busy. The phone rings, people come in, just answer questions for what people want as far as their needs for rooms, whether it's a one-time meeting or a change in plans for something that's already been set, setting up major conferences. People from SUA may stop by for updates for their "Star Wars" laser tag event that's coming up, things like that.
There's so many of them. We had all-star wrestling in here. That was because the students wanted the Chicago Knockers mud wrestling squad, so we got all-star wrestling. We may have to come back to this one. We showed this movie "Hail Mary," and that was controversial. A lot of Catholics opposed its version, and so there were stink bombs thrown here. The next day the rotten egg smell was still here, and it took about six months to get it out.
What are some of the largest groups that have been at the Union?
S
Well, several years
What are some of the most common types of events that are held at the Union?
What happens in the evening are mostly student groups. They have class all day, so the weekly meetings are at night. Chapter meetings, Student Senate, religious groups,
special SUA events.
ago the biggest group was probably the Special Olympics meet. All the Special Olympics groups would have their fall event and then have their awards banquet, and that pretty much filled up the entire fifth floor. That was around 1,200 some people. Our largest room is the ballroom that fits 1,000 people. Other big events are the regular New Student Orientation, weddings, NCAA Cross Country Championships have their banquet here. We're set up to take care of the students.
What should students do to make their booking process run more smoothly?
Just basically what do they want to do, how many people, what time is this a free event, a club a fraternity that wants to meet on a weekly basis or philanthropy project or comedy shows, just answering questions. We have a form with prompts.
crowd a room. Hopefully we want to try to get this all online at the union's Web site, www.union.ku.edu, where you can find any event and schedule things
What is your favorite KU tradition?
There's a lot. I just went to Late Night, and that has evolved so much. But clearly it's graduation. It's so unique, coming down the hill; it's just a celebration, parents, family, just a very festive time.
Chinese program to get a leg up

Provost David Shulenburger signed a memorandum Monday in Beijing to explore establishing a Confucius Institute on the Edwards campus that could give students an edge on the Chinese language.
Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said the Confucius Institute would primarily sponsor kindergarten through 12th grade Chinese language instruction, which could help University students in the long term.
"To begin a language at that level is important," Weinberg said.
The University hopes to complete the agreement on Nov. 14
The agreement was signed by Shulenburger and Ma Jianfei of the National Office of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, representing the Ministry of Education.
when a delegation from China will visit the University for three days. The parties have not yet worked out how the institute will be financed.
The Chinese government is willing to put money into it and the University would have to put effort into it as far as room and space, Weinberg said.
Bill Tsutsui
The signing of the memorandum was one of many activities in which Shulenburger was engaged. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius led the delegation of about 50 Kansas officials.
Two Confucius Institutes have been opened at the University of Maryland and in Chicago. China plans to open 100 Confucius Institutes worldwide by 2010 to increase trade and tourism and to encourage a better understanding of Chinese language and culture.
Along with language instruction, the institute could also provide a headquarters for delegations to and from China, he said.
The future is all about China. Our kids are going to have to be prepared for China's impact on the global economy."
Discussions began last summer when Chancellor Robert Hemenway and Diana Carlin, dean of graduate and international students visited China, Bill Tsutsui said.

Associate professor of history and director for the Kansas Consortium for Teaching about China
Tsutsui , associate professor of history and director for the Kansas Consortium for Teaching about Asia said the group would be working closely with the Confucius Institute.
Tsutsui said the institute would help existing teachers teach Chinese language, recruit new Chinese language teachers and get more schools to teach Chinese. The Chinese government realizes how difficult the language is and wants to help, he said.
"The future is all about China," Tsutsui said. "Our kids are going to have to be prepared for China's impact on the global economy."
The Confucius Institute would also work with East Asian Studies at the University to sponsor cultural events, Tsutsui said.
Yao Hui, Yiang, China graduate student, said that the Confucius Institute would benefit the region because people would understand China better. Hui teaches first and third year Chinese language courses.

Students can Explore Evolution
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The new Explore Evolution exhibit at the KU Natural History Museum will inform the public about what evolution is, what drives it and why it is basic to science education. The exhibit will present evolution as the most unifying principle in evolutionary biology by covering an broad scope of topics, from HIV, single-celled organisms and flies to finches, whales, chimpanzees and humans.
Leonard Kristhalka, director of the museum since 1995, said, "you can't just take evolution and put it in a box separate from all other science. Once you start questioning evolution, you are questioning all of science."
But, he added that the exhibit is not a direct response to Kansas' science education policies.
nesota, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas.
Funded by a $2.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the exhibit is the result of four years of planning among six natural history museums, the others being at the University of Michigan, University of Min-
"I will say, however, that the opening of the exhibit is timely," Kristalka said. "It's always nice when an exhibit is opening at a time when it's a hot topic of conversation."
Leonard Kristtalka, director of the Natural History Museum, explains the development of the new evolution display called Explore Evolution. Kristtalka hopes the exhibit will inform the public on what evolution is. He said that without evolution, scientists cannot understand the diversity of life.
Kristalka said evolution should not be, and was not, in conflict with anyone's personal beliefs — evolution might be an uncomfortable piece of knowledge, but without evolution the diversity of life would not be understood. He said many people thought humans could only be special if they were specially created.
"The fact that we share history with all life is humbling," he said. "But you are special, because we are
the only species who knows about our evolutionary history."
Bruce Sherting, director of exhibits, said evolution's story was a lot to tell and a challenge to get across. He said the University came in as a participant with Judy Diamond, associate director of the University of Nebraska State Museum, who did most of the research.
He said as the exhibit developed, those involved at the University would give feedback and Diamond would continue to work on it.
The space for the exhibit was
renovated about two and a half years ago. Sherting said the space wasn't useful before, but now the room has narrow exhibit cases lit by florescent lighting so it feels roomier.
Teresa MacDonald, director of education at the museum, said the exhibit offered educational programs for a more in-depth tour.
Explore Evolution will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Marijuana fines, sentences up for review in Lawrence
The Lawrence City Commission got its first glimpse of an ordinance banning the possession of marijuana and paraphernalia Tuesday night. Scott Miller, staff attorney, wrote the ordinance, borrowing almost all the language from the state statutes on marijuana law.
Miller said offenders would face a $400
In his presentation, staff attorney Scott Miller said the ordinance could only illegalize marijuana and paraphernalia possession as a misdemeanor, but the punishment, a felony with a fine up to $2,500 and a maximum of one year in jail, would be exactly the same as it is in district court.
The ordinance requires violators to attend a Safety Action Program class, which is what a first-time DUI offender or minor in possession of alcohol offender must do. A judge would have the opportunity to sentence additional treatment in each offense.
court cost if a conviction occurred, and that commissioners could add a minimum fine to the ordinance if they wanted.
Commissioners Dennis "Boog"
Highberger, Mike Rundle and Sue Hack
did not agree with setting a minimum
fine. Commissioner Mike Amyx recommended a $300 fine that Commissioner David Schauner said was too steep.
Schauner recommended a $50 fine.
"I don't want to make it such a financial burden on people." Schauer said.
Commissioner Sue Hack said the case load should be monitored to find out what the impact would be on the city prosecutors' office. If it became cost prohibitive, then changes to the ordinance should be made. Laura Green, executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, supported the ordinance, and encouraged the commissioners to take a look at the Safety Action Program content so it would be crime specific.
Remains might identify missing student
Miller said the ordinance would be placed on the consent agenda at the Nov. 8 City Commission meeting, with additional information about the classes.

NORMAL, III. — The search for a missing college student may have reached a critical point, as officials in Mississippi waited Tuesday for medical and dental records to determine whether a body found in a burnt-out chicken house could be that of 21-year-old Olamide Adeyoye, a native of Nigeria who moved to suburban Chicago when she was 8.
Investigators continue to interview several "persons of interest" in a case that gained attention through an Internet campaign launched by Adeveope's friends.
Studying biology at Illinois State University, she was due to graduate in December. She was last seen nearly two weeks ago at a video store near her apartment.

Professor receives grant for cancer research
A University of Kansas professor of medicinal chemistry, Gunda Georg, has received a grant that will allow her to work with faculty across Kansas and support research for cancer.
The five-year, $10.4 million federal grant from the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, will develop cancer research among junior faculty members.
Georg was previously awarded a similar grant in 2000 that ended this summer.
Georg said the National Institute of Health renewed the previous grant.
"We are able to provide research tools that other places don't have, providing a competitive advantage," she said.
She said the grant was also a step toward becoming a National Cancer Institute Designated Cancer Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, a prestigious designation that the University aims for.

Former KU football star to lead homecoming parade
Curtis McClinton, former University of Kansas star running back and Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame member, will be the grand marshal of Saturday's KU homecoming parade, the homecoming steering committee announced Tuesday.
McClinton, 66, played for the University from 1959 to 1961 and was inducted into the KU Football Hall of Fame last year. He also ran hurdles for the track team.
He was named the American Football League Rookie of the year in 1962 and finished his career with the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory against the Minnesota Vikings in 1970.
Since retiring from football, McClinton has dedicated himself to bettering the community.
After earning his doctorate degree from Miles College in Birmingham, Ala., he founded the Black Economic Union of Greater Kansas City.
He also operates the Curtis Mc-
Clinton Keys League, an urban football program that promotes leadership, education and entrepreneurship.
More than 800 children play in the league.

The homecoming parade will start at 10 a.m. Friday, at 12th and Oread streets near the Kansas Union, and progress to the Chi Omega fountain at the end of Jayhawk Boulevard.
Five KU faculty named as Outstanding Educators
The University of Kansas chapter of the Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society named five University faculty members to its Outstanding Educators list.
This year's winners are Ann Cudd, professor of philosophy and director of women's studies; Maryemya Graham, professor of English; Marni Kessler, assistant professor of art history; Mehrangiz Najafizadeh, associate professor of sociology, and Mark Nesbitt-Daly, associate director of the University Honors Program.
The winners will be honored at a reception on Nov. 6 and on Nov. 18 during the men's basketball game against Idaho State.
The 39 members of the Mortar Board nominate the educators for knowledge of their subjects, teaching styles and dedication to teaching.

After 10 years of partnership, the Lutheran Campus Ministry at the University of Kansas and the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas are going their separate ways.
The Lutheran Campus Ministry was located in Canterbury House, which is owned by the diocese. LCM paid rent to house students and conduct worship services. The diocese plans to renovate the house, and as a result the LCM is moving to Bethany House, which is owned by Trinity Lutheran Church, Shawn Norris, Lutheran campus minister, said he did not think Bethany House would be
LCM held its final worship service at Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St., Sunday night, followed by a procession down the hill to the new location at Bethany House, 18 E. 13th St. The LCM will now conduct all of its services, beginning this Sunday, at the new location until a permanent residence is found. In January, the diocese announced plans to change its approach to campus ministry. Instead of one chaplain assigned to the University of Kansas, the chaplain will work with other Kansas campuses as well. The chaplain's function will be to train peer ministers for the campus organizations, said James Upton, Episcopal archdeacon for southern Kansas.
Director of communications for the diocese
used permanently.
"It's probably a little far from campus for us for a permanent location." Norris said.
LaDonna Atchinson, Trinity Lutheran Church parish administrator, said Bethany House had been vacant since September. Initially, the church had planned to house hurricane evacues but after getting no response from local aid organizations, it was informed of the LCM's situation and offered the location for temporary residence. Atchinson said LCM would most likely pay a user fee instead of rent. This covers the cost of utilities and maintenance.
Melodie Woerman, director of communications for the diocese, said that the diocese planned to change its method of campus ministry in order to reach more students.
Previously, there was one chapleain assigned to the University of Kansas and one assigned to Kansas State University. Woerman said this ignored the Episcopalians at Wichita State University, Pittsburgh State University, Washburn University and Emporia State University, as well as community colleges.
In the future, the diocese will have one or two chaplains assigned to all the schools in the region, she said. The diocese will train college
students to act as peer ministers and try to incorporate local churches with campus ministries by gearing some services to students. Woerman said that later and less formal services would attract students to local church activities.
Woerman said that college years were formative and the diocese needed to reach more students.
"This is a time of great exploration, and we would just like to be able to be there for kids, and more kids in more places," she said.
Allyson Bedford, Tulsa, Oklah senior, was actively involved in LCM as an Episcopalian. She said she chose to worship with LCM because she felt welcome there. She said the break in partnership with the diocese would probably not have a large effect, and Episcopalians would continue to worship with the Lutherans.
"With this particular group I don't think it's going to change a lot," Bedford said.
Kevin Boatright, a board member and secretary for LCM, said there were no hard feelings and that the partnership had been good for everyone involved.
"We've had 10 very enjoyable years here together," Boatright said.

POLITICS
D.A. switches parties
BY MARGARET STAFFORD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison announced Tuesday that he will switch parties and seek the Democratic nomination for Kansas attorney general next year.
Morrison, a Republican, hopes to challenge Republican Attorney General Phill Kline, who won the office three years ago and is expected to run again, although he has not officially announced his plans. No one else has announced plans to seek the office in 2006.
Morrison said he is running because he is "deeply concerned about the direction the attorney general's office is headed," and made it clear that he was upset with the way Kline has conducted himself in the office.
Morrison said the office has too often deviated from its core mission and has divided the people of Kansas. He made several references to professionalizing the office and not using it to promote partisan political issues.
Under Kline, who is antiabortion, the office recently filed a lawsuit to block state-funded abortions under the Medicaid program, asking the court to declare that from conception, someone enjoys a fundamental right to life and liberty.

Suspensions
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
They can appeal the suspension to stay in Senate.
Most senators can explain their absences, Jones said.
"It takes a blaring disregard to not get reinstated," Student Body President Nick Sterner said.
One senator who got expelled, Cole Smart, Topeka senior, said he didn't have enough time to go to the Senate meetings on Wednesday because he was busy with school and other work. When he ran, he said he thought he could make the meetings.
"Its sad to lose senators," Jones said, "but at the same time, this process opens up the seats to persons who might have more time and energy to take advantage of them.
"Nobody's mean, nobody's about trouble."
The committee must make sure senators are accountable in going to meetings.
This is the first cycle of meetings The Student Executive committee has had with suspended senators. Student Senate officials didn't have an exact number, but said between 20 and 25 students were cited because of lack of attendance last year. At least one senator, Dennis Chanay, was suspended at that time. The Senate office could not find how many other senators were suspended.
This year, 11 senators appealed their suspensions. New senators who may not have known about office hours or old senators who had forgotten to sign in for office hours were part of the group who appealed their suspension, Jones said.

She said the resources provided at Hashinger last year such as the theatre and dance studio would have been helpful this year. But now they have to practice in the McCollum jobbv.
"It's kind of an inconvenience," she said. "It's probably not the best place to perform."
Space and resources may be lacking this year, but Bayliff said she couldn't wait until next year when the renovations to Hashinger were completed.
She said she and her friends would like to become resident assistants for the hall next year.

CITY
City Commission talks of merging bus systems
At Tuesday's Lawrence City Commission meeting, Cliff Galante, public transit administrator, sought advice from the commission about the possibility of coordinating KU on Wheels with the Lawrence Transit System.
Galante presented the commission with an overview of work between the two bus systems, along with advantages of a coordinated system. KU on Wheels could receive federal funding for new buses if it were involved with the city's system, but the specifics of the cooperation were still undecided.
"It could be handling each others" bus passes, or it could be the
whole ball of wax," Galante said.
Commissioner David Schauner said a merged system would be "a high hurdle to jump" because federal regulations come with large price tags and responsibilities. He said the short-term goal should be transparency, so that someone with a KU on Wheels bus pass could ride on the Lawrence Transit System, and vice versa.
The commissioners seeme eager to help in the coordination effort, but two saw difficulties.
Commissioner Mike Rundle said that the two systems should follow models in other communities.
"If we can't follow those road maps exactly, we'll figure out which unique hurdles we have in Lawrence," Rundle said.

He explained that the House of Representatives passed a resolution that extended the time period international students have to reapply for the paperwork they may have lost in Hurricane Katrina, but the measure did not include those with work visas or green
cards.
"We need to make sure the underrepresented population doesn't get left out," he said. "They need translators and people who can fill out paperwork. The government may push the money out there but they're not going to show them how to get it."

Kechwa
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8A
"It's so unique to itself," he said. "It's a so not- English, non-Romance language."
Nina Kinti-Moss, lecturer in Latin American studies, taught Kechwa to Frasier. She has taught at the University since 1997, and estimated that five to seven students enrolled in the class each semester.
"Kechwa's pretty much a home-spoken language," she said. Kechwa speakers use another language like Spanish outside and reserve Kechwa for their homes, she said. Through this oral tradition, it survived after the Spanish conquered the Incan empire in the sixteenth century.
"It's preserved by women because women are pretty much the culture of being at home," Kinti-Moss said. "Women are the ones who impart language and culture to their children."
Although the language has survived, economic changes have caused some linguists to predict its disappearance as more indigenous people move toward urbanized areas.
Kinti-Moss said bilingual education programs in Ecuadorian elementary schools provided hope that Kechwa would continue in speech and writing.
NEWYORK — Crude-oil futures leapt $2 past $62.50 a barrel amid a cold snap in the U.S.

NATION
Armando Solares/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
While the power outage lasted less than an hour, ConocoPhillips said it didn't know when its 238,000-barrel-a-day Bayway refinery in Linden, N.J., could restart.
Natural gas prices set record
The refinery news sent refined-product futures higher, with heating oil leading the gains.
"I think that added to the momentum, but we were already going up when that came out," said Phil Flynn, a broker for Chicago-based AlaronTrading Corp. "It shows that the supply-and-demand balance is still so tightly wound that any disruption" can send prices higher.
Gasoline for the same month rose more than 9 cents to post a high of $1.6750 a gallon, closing up 7.22 cents at $1.6538 a gallon.
Heating oil for November rose more than 10 cents on the day to touch a high $1.90 a gallon. It settled at $1.8899 a gallon, up 9.26 cents.

HURRICANE WILMA
Storm causes five deaths, $10 billion in damage
BY ALLEN BREED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
— Repair crews across Florida struggled Tuesday to restore electricity to up to 6 million people, reopen the region's airports and replace countless windows blown out of downtown high-rises during Hurricane Wilma's ruinous dash across the state.
Officials said it could take weeks for Florida's most heavily populated region — the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach — to return to normal.
Water and gas became precious commodities, and people waited for hours for free water, ice and food.
motorists tried to cut in line. More than 500 people waited outside one store for cleanup sunplies.
Lines stretched for blocks at the few gas stations with the electricity needed to pump fuel, and arguments broke out when
The quantity of debris was daunting; pieces of roofs, trees, signs, awnings, fences, billboards and pool screens were scattered across several counties. Damage estimates ranged up to $10 billion.
"Tomorrow's going to be better than today," Florida Governor Jeb Bush said.

strongest hurricane to strike since 1950.
But barely 24 hours after the Category 3 storm struck, there were signs of recovery.
Winds of more than 100 mph blew out windows in high-rises, many built before Florida enacted tougher construction codes following Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
The school district's 14-story headquarters — known as the "Crystal Palace" — was stripped of nearly its entire glass facade on one side.
Some of the worst damage was in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where Wilma was the
"We're going to have to fix it in a way that is stronger," schools superintendent Frank Till said.
The 21st storm in the worst Atlantic hurricane season on record. Wilma was blamed for at least five deaths statewide.

Lhunpo and Winfrey agree the language doesn't come easily for non-native speakers.
Tibetan grammar places the verb at the end of a sentence in a subject-object-verb or object-subject-verb pattern, such as "the mouse the cat chased."
"Until somebody finishes his or her sentences, you can't understand what he's asking or saying," Lhunno said.
For Lhunpo, each student learning Tibetan contributes to the survival of a threatened culture. He said 1.5 million of his fellow Tibetans died under Chinese rule.
Winfrey said he hoped more students interested in the language or the culture would take the class.
"I think there are some things Tibetans can share to the world, like thinking from different perspectives," he said. "For example, I think how fortunate I am. If the Chinese didn't rule Tibet, I wouldn't be here."
"It's a really interesting window into the Tibetan culture," he said. "Even though Tibetan language might not be suited for international business, the personal experience of learning it, I think, would be a larger reward than the monetary gain."
Kiswahili
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8A
"It's one of the best languages in terms of peace," he said. "We have 125-plus tribes, and each tribe has its own first language. But we have one language which is uniting us, which is Kiswahili."
Rushubirwa, who has taught at the University since March, said students take the class for cultural, academic or recreational reasons.
"You can't learn a culture unless you know the language," he said.
He estimated 18 students had enrolled in his elementary Kiswahili class.
One student, Dominique Franklin, Wichita sophomore, said she hoped she would speak it fluently one day.
"Everybody is taking Spanish," she said. "I wanted to try something cool and different."
Franklin, who is considering a minor in African-American studies, said she planned to travel to Africa during the summer. She finds her greatest challenge in pronouncing and memorizing the different words and meanings.
She said the language reflected the Swahili people's goodwill and hospitality.
"They meet and greet everyone they see," she said. "If you say, 'Knock, knock,' they say, 'Welcome.' It's a very friendly language."

Hellish Halloween: A couple of real jerks
HUMP DAY
It's that slutty time of the year. Don't we love it?
Halloween is the best holiday of the year, so dust off the "Maverick" and "Sexy Cop/Nurse/School Girl/Custodian/Baseball player" costumes, and lace up.
In the spirit of this special day, I have prepared a tasty treat for you, a special edition of "Hump Day." I will show you the only thing scarier than Tom Selleck in a Playboy Bunny outfit.
I will reenact the conversation of the couple everyone hates. You know the one.
They argue in public with no regard for anyone around them. In this case, we find the anguing couple at a Halloween party.
Dale: Rum and coke? I said I wanted a Bud Light!

Tracey. You're telling me your roommate hides his porn in your dresser?
Dale: That's not mine! It's my roommates!
请保持桌面整洁，避免灰尘、烟雾等物品随意放置。

Tracey. Ugh. See what I mean?
Tracey: You are such a... Hey, why don't you stare at that girl's ass a little more?
Dale: Maybe I would have heard it if you hadn't said it in that shrill, banshe-like tone.
Dale: What? Honey, you know. I have a thing for witches.
Dale: Since the invention of Brazilian wax. You know, you should probably...
Tracey: Snookens, since when did witches start wearing knee-high boots and skimpy mini-skirts?
Tracey: Dale, if you want me to get one, just tell me. Stop beating around the bush.
*Dale:* Beating around the bush?
I practically need a machete to navigate the jungle down there.
Tracey: You're not so tame yourself, Dale. Also, stop telling your friends that I have a birthmark that looks like the Virgin Mary. Speaking of virges, here comes Katie.
*Katie passes by.*
Tracey: "Hey, Dale?" You're having sex with her! Don't try to deny it!
Katie: Hey, Dale.
**Dale:** Baby, baby. I would never.
You're the one I want to pile-drive.
Tracey: I know you poked her on facebook.com.
Dale: Yeah, sweetie, but she didn't poke back.
Tracey: She can't poke anatomically like you can, if you can even call that poking.
Dale: What? New subject!
Please get me another beer out of the fridge.
Dale: What is your problem?
You're raising your voice at me!
Tracey: Anything for you, darling. Should I also shut the door to the fridge when I'm done? Because that's something you always seem to forget when you come to my house!
Tracey: What's my problem? If it's a humid day, everything condenses and a puddle forms at the bottom of the fridge that I always end up cleaning. If you really loved me, you'd remember to shut the door all the way!
**Dale:** Ssh, everyone's staring.
You're embarrassing me.
Tracey: The only thing embarrassing about this is what you're hiding underneath that join cloth.
Dale: Excalibur is a fine instrument of pleasure. He does not warrant this criticism.
Tracey: So is Felicity. And she doesn't need Excalibur. I have a vibrator for that. It never gets "too drunk" to finish the job.
*Date:* That was one time! And maybe if Felicity wasn't lined in Nerf, I could finish without chafing.
Tracey. Let's go outside and talk about this.
Dale: No, I want to hang out with my friends and finish my beer.
Tracey. Fine, I'm leaving. Have fun with your "friends."
Dale: I'll just have Katie the Wick keep me company. You e-c...
*Dale:* What? You c-... you...
complete me.
Tracey: What? What did you do?
Say! Say! Did it say you hastard—!
Tracy. Aw, baby, I love you so much. I'm sorry. Let's never fight again!
Dale: I love you too. Can you get my beer now? I'm parched.
There's a moral to this all-to-familiar scenario.
Do not waste your time with someone you would rather power-bomb into a table than buy a puppy for.
The moral is, it's ignorant to be in a relationship based on murderous rage sprinkled with moments of "making up."
If this is you, break up with the other god-forsaken half. If these are your friends, delete them from your phone and pretend like they never existed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
.
Hawk article lacks evidence
The North Templin Liberation Front is the greatest thing to happen to KU since Phoen Allan.
All right, you find me a cafe that has nothing to do with beef, and I'll show you a cafe that's going out of business.
I agree with Simone, it's not fair to pick on one bar randomly.
Joel Simone recently wrote an article claiming that the Hawk is being unfairly singled out for its habitual underage drinking offenses.
All laws should be enforced equally and fairly, but the article lacks evidence to show that isn't happening. Simone says that "There are other bars in Lawrence that have more MIPs charges than the Hawk," but fails to mention one.
I know it is possible and probable that other bars in town break liquor laws as often as the Hawk, but any sort of statistic proving that was left out by the Kansan.
He also says that on any other night, in any other bar, a minor can be found drinking.
That is simply not true; and if it were, it would be nearly impossible to prove. Yes, it was an obvious exaggeration, but it still hurts the credibility of his opinion.
No matter what your opinion is of a certain bar, it helps to bring evidence to the table to support it, especially when it is going to be read by literally hundreds of people.
Simone tells us how many people go to the Hawk, but doesn't compare it to the patronage of any other bar.
Like Mama says, just because something is popular, that certainly doesn't make it cool. I have been a
deskie at GSP/Corbin for two-and-a-half years now. Every weekend, girls come home and have clearly been drinking, and when they do, I ask how their evening was. At least once every night, I hear "Whoooooo!!"
Bull-Hawk-Wheel!" as a response. Knowing what kind of (underage) girls go to the Hawk makes me think it might be the lamest bar in town.
I fail to see why the police would be gunning for the number one bar in town.
The number of citations certainly isn't evidence of them being singled out, its evidence of how often they break laws.
While it may seem shady to the people who get busted for police to hang around and wait for a crime to occur, logically it makes sense. If the same bank gets robbed every week, why not have a cop there waiting for it to happen?
The police don't have to give offenders a head start. Maybe having an officer in uniform hang around a bar does scare off some business, but if you aren't breaking a law, then why be scared of a cop?
It's the cop's job to enforce laws, whether they agree with the law or not, and he probably isn't willing to risk it for some freshman drunken off of redbull and vodka.
logical, and believe me, it think it is,
but that doesn't make it not a law
The people who avoid the Hawk (or the Wheel or the Bull) because of this, probably do so to avoid MIPs.
Yes, people in the media have to do their jobs and it's easier to be sensational and write about one bar instead of all of them. Yes, people should rarely trust what the media tells us and should never take it at face value.
As far as newspaper articles condemning the Hawk, I agree with Simone, that is bad publicity which is being unfairly distributed.
The only evidence that he offers to show a bias against the Hawk is that it brings in 1,000 people between Wednesday and Saturday. Even then, he doesn't contrast it with a similar statistic from a similar establishment. The evidence might exist, but Simone simply doesn't show it to us.
However, Simone makes it seem as if there is a conspiracy to bring the Hawk down.
Having a drinking-age that is 21 instead of 18 may be stupid and li-
And it's hard for me to feel sympathy for the Hawk when I have been told by dozens of 18-year olds that it is their bar of choice.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Father, son and Halloween ghost
Our night of haunted houses began at the "Edge of Hell," where we had an exciting trip through a ridiculous, but fun, haunted house. It cost $20, but was worth the money and the hour long wait.
The night took a dramatic turn down hill, however, when we were greeted by a person handing out flyers for a "new" and "great" haunted house on 36th and Main streets called "Nightmare." We thought this would be a great chance to see a smaller, possibly more creative haunted house, so we headed over to check it out.
When we got there, we met a woman accepting only cash, which we paid, and a waiver
stating we would experience "reality-based, graphic imagery."
What ensued was what I would consider the most appalling and generally offensive bait-and-switch scam I could have ever imagined.
Instead of being scared by face paint and things flying out of the darkness, we were supposed to be scared by the horrors of real-life tragedy.
A graphic drunk driving crash scene.
A domestic dispute that resulted in a child committing suicide.
We were forced to come two feet away from a women on a toilet having an abortion, and we had fake hand guns waved in our face.
The horror concluded with a man being beaten and crucified in front of us.
As we exited this "haunted house," we were forced to watch a video of a pastor who tried to explain why he had duped us into witnessing such horrific violence, and why he thought what he was doing was so high and noble.
about what we saw.
He told us there were people from his church standing outside the doors to talk to us
The people outside tried to talk to us about religion, tried to preach to us about how violent our world was.
I was sick that so many people could be involved in such a corrupt idea. We were exploited by overzealous religious people who I am quickly growing to hate.
This time it was much worse, because instead of misleadingly introducing themselves to me and trying to tell me their message, they took my money and made me look at absolutely miserable images that will give me nightmares tonight.
I'm not a pissed-off father or

insisted they return my money.
I made a calm scene and tried explaining to these religious nuts why I was so offended they had put me through that and
They all played dumb and tried changing topics so I continued to insist on talking to the "person in charge."
I don't have any problem, or even disagree with their message, but I can not believe how misleading they were and outright unethical in presenting this as anything similar to a haunted house.
They tried to make me feel guilty, saying that they were all volunteers, and the money was going to a good cause.
But they didn't ask for a donation, they took my money and tried to push their agenda on me.
Did they consider just how amazingly offended someone could be if they had experienced things like that in their life?
Finally, their security realized we wouldn't leave without being bullied, so they surrounded us.
They tried telling us if we wanted to wait 15 minutes their "director" would be out to discuss the matter.
We were disgusted, and I could tell that talking about the matter any longer would only upset my friends and me even further, so we left.
Now I wish I would have stayed. I wish I would have said something so that this jerk "director" realizes that this isn't 'OK' and it's not right.
I wish I would have told the next group of unsuspecting customers to put away their wallets and turn and run.
I can't believe someone thought that this was a good idea. And I can't believe that this place has lasted for any number of weekends now.
The intolerable images from this horrid experience will haunt me for days, "Nightmares".
And I still don't have my money back. I hope no one has to put up with the night my friends and I did.

Ever wondered where Disney's "Hakuna matata" in "The Lion King" originated? Maybe wanted to say hello in Tibetan, learn the language of the Incas or just take a break from Spanish and French.
If any of this sounds appealing, "karibuni," or welcome to some of the less commonly taught languages at the University of Kansas.
"Tah-she de-leh!"
Tibetan "hello"
"Yupaychani"
Kechwa "thank you"

Kiswahili
Kiswahili, spoken in eastern and central Africa, consists of rhythmic words and phrases that sound like soft, earthy drumbeats. Disney used Kiswahili phrases such as "Asante sana" and "Hakuna matata" in its 1994 animated film, "The Lion King."
The prefix Ki- translates to "language of," so Kiswahili means "the language of
Swahili." If a Swahili speaker wanted to talk about the Chinese language, he would call it "KiChina" or "the language of China."
Leonce Rushubirwa, professor of African-American studies, grew up in Tanzania, which lists Kiswhili as its national language. He's taught it for 22 years.

Tibetan
Champa Lhunpo, lecturer in the department of East Asian languages and cultures and a Tibetan Buddhist monk, has taught his native language in the United States since 1992.
The places that speak Tibetan — Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal and some regions of north India — comprise an area larger than western Europe, Lhunpo said.
The University started Tibetan classes this year with five students. One of them, Rick Winfrey, Wichita senior, said he wanted to learn the language because he practiced Tibetan Buddhism.
"Whatever helps me learn Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism, it's just a bonus," he said.

Kechwa (Runa Ximi)
When Skylar Frasier, Burr Oak senior, traveled to Salasaka, Ecuador, in the summer of 2002, his skills in Kechwa helped him in what he called an "amazing and eye-opening experience." He said he found himself in the minority as the only white man, or "gringo," for miles.
"It's a great opportunity to see something different from the U.S. in so many ways, finan-
cually, spiritually, everything," he said. "It makes you re-examine your culture and their culture, all at the same time."
Frasier said students learning Kechwa learned more about an invaluable culture and through it, part of the history of the Americas. He described the language as breezy and swift, like wind whipping through the trees.

“It’s a really interesting window into the Tibetan culture. Even though Tibetan language might not be suited for international business, the personal experience of learning it, I think, would be larger reward than the monetary gain.”

Speakers: More than 12 million people worldwide speak Tibetan.
Fun face: Written Tibetan developed to translate Buddhist Sanskrit tests from India. Although the Chinese destroyed thousands of Tibetan monasteries and libraries, many Tibetan Buddhist scriptures and texts survived such as the Lamrim, or “Stages of Path” text.

Broken record
Statistics show two KU players can kick it

Senior forward Caroline Smith broke the Kansas all-time assist record earlier this season.
Smith also leads Kansas in all-time career points, game-winning goals and shots, and holds single-season records in points, goals, game-winning goals and shots.
Smith started as a freshman and has started every game she has played, missing about
Among the most notable record is her dominating hold as the Jayhawks' all-time leading scorer. For her most recent record, she broke the career assist record when she tallied number 20 after feeding a pass to senior forward Jessica Smith, clinching her hat trick against Oklahoma State on Oct. 7.
In her four-year career, Smith has placed herself at the top of nine different categories.
10 matches along the way, she said.
Hilla Rantala, former recordholder and graduate student from Helsinki, Finland, didn't have that much time. Rantala took fewer than 27 games.
"I don't care." Rantala said of the individual record. "I mean, I was a forward, so if I didn't have any, then I wasn't doing my job. Obviously, no one is going to have a lot of assists and goals if you don't have a solid defense and a solid midfield who gets you the ball. It's really not an individual sport."
Although today Rantala spends her days at Kansas teaching economics as a graduate teaching assistant while working toward her Ph.D., she once led the program that Smith now commands.
"I didn't even know I had it," Rantala said of her former status as all-time career assist leader. She laughed when she realized she didn't even know where to find her stats.
Between the 1999 and 2001 seasons, Rantala accumulated
Rantala cited the importance of stats as a major difference between American and European soccer.
"Stats only tell one story." Smith said referring to the U.S.'s obsession with numbers.
19 assists, excluding the entire 2000 season when she took a redshirt because of injury.
The knee injury that provoked missing Rantala's original senior season added to the broken ankle that kept her on the sidelines for half of her junior year, when she broke her ankle 30 seconds into the first game. The forward continued to play on it for six more games.
"You can't tell how good a player is by their stats," Smith said. "It's stupid the way that they do it. The only thing that should matter is whether you get the 'W' or the 'L.'"
"It was pretty painful, and it was my right leg," she said. "So, I couldn't really shoot the ball. It almost seemed like a waste of a year."

'Hawks return to home turf
BY RVAN COLAIIANNI

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Six weeks and four losses. That's what has happened since Kansas last played at Memorial Stadium.
When Kansas left its home field after a 34-14 victory against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 17, the Jayhawks seemed to be in perfect position to qualify for a bowl game.
"It is obviously very nice to get back home and play in front of your fans again," senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "There couldn't be a better time to come home and play against Mizzou."
The Jayhawks were then outscored 105-36 in their four conference games, three of which were on the road. The other was at a neutral site at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
While Floodman was happy to return to Memorial Stadium he said he enjoyed playing games on the road in hostile environments.
"We have been gone so long we are excited to play anybody," Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. "We do play well at home, that's good. The downside is that we haven't played as well as we need to on the
road."
Kansas has been a much stronger team at home under Mangino. The Jayhawks are just 3-16 on the road under Mangino while being 12-10 at Memorial Stadium.
Team members are looking at the rest of the season as a four-game season, hoping to qualify for that bowl game. To do that, they will likely have to win all three home games against Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State.
Because of the road struggles Kansas needs to win three of its last four games to make its second bowl appearance in three years.
"It is going to be nice because you kind of miss the home turf and you kind of miss playing at home and playing in front of your home fans," sophomore running back Brandon McAnderson said. "It will be great to get that feeling again."
McAnderson said the team felt more confident when it played at home.
"We got to get something," senior safety Rodney Fowler said. "We got to get at least six games to get us bowl eligible. That is what us seniors are trying to do."

The Kansas volleyball team will try to reverse its recent fortunes against Nebraska when it takes on the No. 1 Huskers tonight at the NU Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb.
Senior setter Andi Rozum reaches to block a tip by Nebraska freshman outside hitter Jordan Larson during a game at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Kansas volleyball team travels to Lincoln, Neb., tonight to battle the No. 1-ranked Cornhuskers again.
Nebraska's athletics department claims that the Huskers have never lost to the Jayhawks in 75 meetings between the two teams. Kansas' records show the Jayhawks winning a match against the Huskers on Oct. 17, 1975 at the Graceland Invitational in Lamoni, Iowa, and trailing the series 74-1-1.
KANSAS 9
The Huskers also have not lost a match at home since Sept. 11, 2004, a stretch of 24 matches. They have lost only one game total during their streak. They have won 33 consecutive
In that match the Jayhawks held the Huskers to one of their lowest attack percentages of the season. They hit just .292, but they stymied the Jayhawks' attack as well. Kansas hit a meager .071. Nebraska also outblocked Kansas 22.0-4.0. The Huskers have not so much as lost a game in their four matches since that encounter at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Either way it's sliced, it has been total domination by the ladies from Nebraska. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he thought this year's team had a chance to end it.
"It seems like they've had their way with everybody," Bechard said. "Arguably, their toughest match was against us this year. Obviously it's going to take a great effort over an extended period of time for it to work out that way."
The Huskers are 19-0 overall and 10-0 in the Big 12 Conference. They defeated the Jayhawks 3-1 on Oct. 8 in Lawrence.
Nebraska has held down the nation's top ranking since the preseason College Sports TV/American Volleyball Coaches Association poll was released in August.
Nebraska senior middle blocker Melissa Elmer leads the country in blocks with 2.38 per game. In addition she leads the Big 12 with a gaudy .450 attack percentage. In her last 10 matches she is averaging 3.21 kills per game while posting a .521 mark.
With such a daunting task ahead, Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum said the Jayhawks prepared the same as they would against any other team, but there was more fire in their time leading up to the match.
"We know that we are capable of playing with them," Rozum said. "We look at what worked and didn't work last time and try to use that to get ready."
The Jayhawks' recent struggles are well-documented. Five straight losses, one victory in their last seven matches and a
conference matches overall.
4-7 conference record are all statistics that the team would rather not think about. In order to reverse the trend, Rozum said the Jayhawks would have to play their best match of the season.
Junior outside hitter Megan Hill, who has started the last four matches in the absence of injured junior Jana Correa, is feeling more comfortable with every match. She recorded a career-high 13 kills in the Jayhawks' loss to Baylor last Saturday.
As for what the Jayhawks need to do to steal one in Lincoln. Hill made it sound simple.
"Everything is starting to go a little smoother," Hill said. "I got thrown into a good mix of matches, so I feel like I got broken in."
"We just need to be fearless," Hill said. "We've got nothing to lose."

Jayhawks can make bowl game
Football fans might have difficulty finding reasons to care about the rest of the season now that Kansas has suffered four straight losses. But as slim as the chances may seem, bowl eligibility is still a real possibility.
The rest of the schedule includes three home games: Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State. The only road game is Texas, which is now No. 1 in the BCS poll. Realistically, Kansas can win only its remaining home games — and Kansas must if it wishes to reach the six victories required to play in a bowl game.
The key for the Jayhawks will be motivation. Football games can work in mysterious ways. Sometimes the outcome is decided by more than the talent on the field. Underdogs can use extra motivation to gain a victory.
First up against the Jayhawks are the Tigers. Don't count Kansas out, even though Missouri has looked much better this year. Missouri is Kansas' biggest rival, which equates to plenty of motivation.
Last season, Kansas went into a game against Missouri with a four-game losing streak and no chance at a bowl game. The Jayhawks won by 17 points. In 2003 they won by 21 points at home when the Tigers had a national ranking. In both games the KU defense all but shut down Missouri's best weapon, senior quarterback Brad Smith, and in both games Kansas was underdog.
Let's assume Kansas defeats Missouri on Saturday. Next up will be Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have defeated the Jayhawks 56 games in a row. After the season, many fans saw this year's game as the best opportunity in a long time to end it.
Without going into more detail about how embarrassing the streak is, the Jayhawks should have no trouble finding extra motivation. Will that carry them to a victory? It's possible. If Kansas can defeat Missouri, it can defeat Nebraska too. Missouri already won 41-24 against Nebraska.
Again, let's assume Kansas wins. Its next game is at Texas, which is the closest thing to a sure loss Kansas will find this season. But forget about Texas; the season finale at home against Iowa State will be for a bowl game and a regular season winning record.
Kansas has been to one bowl game since 1995 and has no winning regular seasons. In 2003, Kansas notched six victories but also had six losses. With such a pivotal accomplishment on the line for the program, motivation will again be easy to find. Also, Iowa State is the easiest opponent left on Kansas' schedule. Iowa State is only 1-3 in conference play, with its only victory against Oklahoma State, which is winless in the Big 12.
For Kansas to reach six victories, it must start by defeating Missouri on Saturday. The Jayhawks should forget about what has already happened and focus on the Tigers, a team they have had no trouble with the last two seasons. A victory might prove to be the turning point for Kansas. The Jayhawks' schedule couldn't have worked out any better.

Former Astro concerned about lack of African-American players
HOUSTON — Joe Morgan worries about the face of baseball. Watching the World Series, the Hall of Famer is troubled by what he sees.
His old team, the Houston Astros, is down 2-0 to the Chicago White Sox, but it's not their lineup that concerns Morgan. It's their makeup.
The Astros are the first World Series team in more than a half-century with a roster that doesn't include a single black player.
"Of course I noticed it. How could you not?" Morgan said while the Astros took batting practice before the opener in Chicago. "But they're not the only ones. There are two or three teams that didn't have any African-American players this year."
Morgan said it's a predicament and a challenge for Major League Baseball. While more players from around the world are making it to the majors — Japan, Korea, for example — the number of blacks is declining.
"It's a daunting task to get African-American kids into baseball, and I don't see the trend changing," he said.
Candice Rukes/KANSAN
The last World Series team without a black player was the 1953 New York Yankees. It wasn't until 1955 — eight years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947 — that Elston Howard became the first black in Yankee pinstripes.
Black players accounted for just about 9 percent of big league rosters this season.
"We know that we have work to do," Commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday. "We'll continue to intensify our efforts. I'm very aware, I'm extremely sensitive about it, and I feel badly about it. But we need to get to work to change things."

Team bonds fuel runners during season
Overland Park sophomore Connie Abbott (left) and Emporia senior Dena Seibel warm up before cross country practice. Both girls say they not only consider each other teammates, but family as well.

As the cross country season comes to an end, the women's team has done more than develop as student athletes — players have also developed friendships that will last long after college.
The women in cross country have represented the University of Kansas in four races this season, but it is what the team did outside the course and outside of practice that defined it. For this team, friendship brings the team closer for a stronger bond than what an ordinary team could have.
"A couple of my best friends are on the team," sophomore Connie Abbott said. "We usually meet up, like we go to the football games together because we sit in the same section."
Not only do some team members socialize as friends after cross country practices and events, but some even live together in the "track house."
"It's a lot of fun, kind of like our own little sorority," junior Dena Seibel said. "There is always someone there — people to talk to and

One of the reasons why the entire team is close is because people look out for one another. Seibel said if she were to sleep in for a practice, there would always be someone there to wake her up so she would not be late.
Seibel also said there was one thing that she would like to do this season that she has not been able to yet.
"Last year we always had spaghetti dinner before cross country meets and had everyone over to our house," she said. "That was the fun time just to kind of bond and kind of relax before the meet and get ready for it."

Big 12 Conference honors freshman for recent performance in goal
The Big 12 Conference honored KU goalkeeper Julie Hanley for the first time in her career, this week.
The Indianapolis freshman was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week yesterday for the week of Oct.16 to Oct.22.
In the last three weeks, Hanley started in goal in all of Kansas' last six matches and has accumulated a 6-1-0 record in her first collegiate season.
Hanley played a vital role in Kansas defeating Texas for the first time in the program's history, on Sunday. Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis credited her five saves in the match, including a diving second-half grab, as being critical in the victory.
With the lowest goals-against average on the team as of late, Hanley is averaging .82 goals-against per game, entering the final week of the regular season. She has allowed six goals and saved 34 in 2005.
Hanley is likely to start in goal against Missouri on Friday to wrap up the regular season. Alison Burrow

Wellington Mara, Giants co-owner for more than 50 years, dies at 89

So does every owner, executive and player. Mara, who joined the NewYork Giants as a ballboy the day his father purchased the team 80 years ago and became co-owner as a teenager, was the face of his team for more than a half century.
NEWYORK - Every NFL fan owes a huge debt to Wellington Mara, who died Tuesday at 89.
But he also was the patriarch of the NFL, a man who was willing for more than 40 years to split the millions in television revenues he could have made in the nation's largest market with the Green Bays and Pittsburghs of the league.
"He shaped nearly every rule and philosophy we have in our league today," said Ernie Accorsi, the Giants general manager. "Most of all, he was the moral conscience of the National Football League. He now joins the pantheon of incredible men who made this league what it has become."
It put the NFL at the top of America's sports hierarchy.
Said commissioner Paul Tagliabue: "Wellington Mara represented the heart and soul of the National Football League. He was a man of deep conviction who stood as a beacon of integrity."

As if the list of injuries wasn't a large enough setback, Rantala had only a maximum of two years of eligibility with the team.
She transferred to Kansas from the University of South Alabama with Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis in time for the 1920
When added together, injuries and transferring from another school, Rantala had fewer than 30 games to accumulate the 19 assists — an accomplishment that Francis classified as "phenomenal."

ing her younger playing days. She thought Americans might play the sport for the glory, not so much for the love of the game itself.
Rantala attributed much of her knowledge and love of the game to her European upbringing.
Rantala has not stepped on a soccer field since 2001.
When she's not teaching, she has time to look back on her own career and analyze the careers and play of others.
At the conclusion of her senior season, she had reconstructive surgery on her knee that prevented her from playing again.
She explained how she and her childhood teammates grew up with the game, and how little importance was put on personal success.
Seeing the game from that angle, purely wins and losses, and playing out of a love of the game but not for individual gain, sounds strikingly similar to another talented Jayhawk forward.
She couldn't even recall structured stats being recorded dur-

Chiefs' Warfield starts again
BY DOUG TUCKER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eric Warfield is finally back as a starting cornerback, so maybe Kansas City's supposedly improved defense will begin to play one.
Their 4-2 record after six games would suggest an upgrade from last year when they were 2-4. And the run defense is obviously improved, with an average yield of only 95.5 yards per game that ranks in the top 10 in the league.
While finishing 7-9 last year, they were 31st in total defense and dead last in pass defense. Going into Sunday's game at San Diego, they're near the bottom in total defense, giving up almost 360 yards per game.
And their pass defense, statistically at least, is still poor. With Warfield playing only in last week's 30-20 victory over Miami, the Chiefs have given up 263.7 yards passing every game — which is not exactly what they had hoped for after bringing in safety Sammy Knight and cornerback Patrick Surtain.
Nevertheless, coach Dick Vermell remains upbeat.
"I believe they are (getting better)," he said Tuesday. "Of course, I always see things as getting better. Sometimes I'm a little blind, but I just feel we are getting better."
Warfield sat out the first four games under NFL suspension for DUI and then was left inactive for the fifth game of the year, possibly because he was still in
the coaches' doghouse for an uninspired training camp. But the veteran cornerback made his first start at Miami and will get another start on Sunday at San Diego.
"It's different," Warfield said. "You can go out and do all sorts of conditioning workouts. I thought I was 100 percent ready to get in there and give it my best. And even though I did go play a pretty decent game, when I finally got onto that field and the whistle blew, I realized there were a few little things I needed to work on to get back to where I used to be."
He discovered, as some veterans had warned, that the only way to get into top football shape was to play football.
"You have to be in a game," Warfield said. "You can watch
all the film and do all the conditioning you want to do. But if you're not in the game getting the feel of it, you're just not going to have it."
The 2004 defense gave up an average of 132 yards rushing, almost 40 yards more than the 2005 unit has allowed the first six games.
Improved speed at linebacker has made an obvious difference there.
"Once we started putting the pads on in training camp you had the idea we were going to be pretty successful in that aspect," said defensive end Eric Hicks. "We need to clean some things up, but we're working hard on that. Everybody knows it's a one-gap defense and everybody is playing to the best of their ability."

Postseason brings umpires front and center
MLB
BY MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Most umpires would rather remain anonymous. This October, they've been the center of attention.
The latest example came in Game 2 of the World Series with Jermaine Dye at the plate.
Night after night, postseason games are turning on questionable calls in key situations, and it seems almost every one has gone Chicago's way.
Foul ball or hit by pitch? Again, the umps got it wrong. Again, the ruling went in favor of the White Sox.
“These couple of calls have overshadowed the way we're playing.” Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said Monday at Minute Maid Park. “Take a look at the way we play, take a look at the way we pitch, take a look at the way we come back. ... I've said before, I'd rather be lucky than good, and I think we've been more lucky than good."
If the White Sox feel lighted,
the umpires feel slandered.
With slow-motion instant replay and super-camera angles, fans watching at home can clearly see when the umps make even a minor mistake — and especially a maior one.
That leads to unwanted attention for a distinguished group of arbiters. And it leads to plenty of criticism, too.
"They're getting blistered for things that happen every day," said Jerry Crawford, the crew chief for this year's AL championship series, which was filled with disputed calls. "My beef is you guys are supposed to report on what happens. You're not supposed to dwell on what happens."
Umpires are graded throughout the regular season, then selected for postseason assignments. Crawford, a major leagueump since 1976, said he and hiscolleagues are doing the best they can.
"Do we make mistakes? Absolutely," he said. "It's the weird things that have happened that have put a damper on this. The balls and strikes, there haven't been many beefs, and that's probably the most important part."
marked the entire postseason a year after umpires were praised for hudding to get key calls correct in October, even if it meant overturning the original ruling.
The ruckus began in Game 2 of this year's ALCS, when plate umpire Doug Eddings called strike three on Chicago's A.J. Pierzynski — but not the third out — in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Eddings ruled that Angels catcher Josh Paul didn't glove Kelvim Escobar's low pitch before it hit the ground. Pierzynski alertly husted to first — just in case — even as the Angels were walking off the field, thinking the inning was over.
Moments later, Joe Crede's game-winning double evened the series.
The confusing call sure seemed to take all the starch out of the Angels, who lost the next three at home and were eliminated.
Chicago hasn't lost since.
Later, Eddings said he should have been more emphatic in making the "no-catch" call.
Pierzynski got another break
in Game 4 when plate umpire Ron Kulpa did not call him for catcher's interference after his mitt tipped Steve Finley's bat.
The NLCS had its share, too. Plate umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and star center fielder Jim Edmonds for arguing balls and strikes in Game 4.
In Game 6, Astros shortstop Adam Everett missed an important tag at second base, but umpire Greg Gibson called Yadier Molina out.
"Are there things in hindsight that could have been done otherwise? I think the umpires in fairness would be the first to admit that," said Mike Port, hired by the commissioner's office as vice president of umpiring on Aug. 1.
Dye was up Sunday night with two on, two outs and a 3-2 count. He was awarded first base by plate umpire Jeff Nelson, though replays showed Dan Wheeler's seventh-inning pitch actually hit Dye's bat, not his hand or forearm — and the slugger later admitted as much. The White Sox beat Houston 7-6 for a 2-0 Series lead.

Defense faces top test

KANSAN SPORT SEHR WRITTER
Senior linebacker Kevin Kane lays out to bring down Colorado sophomore wide receiver Alvin Barnett while freshman cornerback Aqib Talib and junior cornerback Kenneth Thompson converge to assist. Kane accumulated six tackles in the game against Colorado on Saturday in Boulder.
The Kansas defense is No. 1 against the rush in the Big 12 Conference, but its hands will be full this weekend against Missouri's Brad Smith.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he knew how difficult it would be to shut down Smith. He's so dangerous because he's not just a threat to throw the ball, he is capable of breaking long runs.
Last weekend, against Nebraska, which had the No. I rush defense in the conference before Saturday, Smith became the sixth player in NCAA history to run for more than 200 yards and also throw for more than 200 yards in the same game.
"If you give Brad Smith an open field, he will run it like a tailback," Mangino said. "You can't give him any creases. If you give him creases, he will hurt you."
Kansas is coming off a stretch of conference games where it faced several pocket passers, rather than quarterbacks who run — like Smith. Senior linebacker Banks Floodman said the defense would have to prepare differently for Smith than it had for any other quarterbacks.
"We'll try to put a quarterback on the scout team that is agile and quick, like Brad is," Floodman said. "We have to work on containing him. If he gets outside, he is likely to make big plays and hurt us."
Floodman and the rest of the
KU defense have had success shutting down Smith before. Last season, Kansas beat Missouri 31-14 and held Smith to negative rushing yards because of sacks.
In 2003, Kansas held Smith to 33 rushing yards and came away with a 35-14 victory.
Senior linebacker Kevin Kane said the team didn't like to look back at previous games, but said it gave the defense confidence to know it had shut down Smith.
Missouri has changed its offensive game plan from last season and tried to spread the ball more.
Mangino said the defense worked on adjusting to Missouri's new look.
"They are still doing some things they have done in the past," Mangino said. "But they have picked up the tempo and spread out the field trying to run him with no running backs in the backfield."
During Smith's freshman season, he became only the second
quarterback in NCAA history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. Smith's past two seasons haven't been as successful. He accumulated only 553 rushing yards last season, and in 2003 he threw for fewer than 2,000 yards. This season, Smith has regained his freshman year touch. He leads the conference in rushing yards with 865 and has thrown for more than 1,400 yards just seven games into the season.
"Sometimes during a play, you just have to sit back and say, 'wow,' Temple said. "He is capable of doing anything when he has the ball in his hands, and it is exciting for everyone in the stadium. Brad is truly a special player."
Missouri running back Tony Temple said it was special to be on the same team as Smith.

73-year-old

Staff Reporter
There do not seem to be many things that are worth waiting more than half a century for, but that is how long a retired Topeka businessman waited to become a Delta Chi. John M. Hardman, 73, was initiated into the Delta Chi fraternity yesterday after leaving the University of Kansas and fraternity 55 years ago to go into business.
"I was talking to some friends in fraternity one day and they said I call the house and find someone become a member," talked to Scott McDowell and he said he would do."
As a member of the pledge class, Hardman lived in the old Delta Chi house on Legend Street, two years before the present house, 1243 W. Campus Road, was built.
Hardman attended KU and lived in the house for a semester but left before initiation.
Although most of his friends from the fraternity are dead, he said he still remembered the good times at KU. Kansas was under prohibition in 1925, and Hardman said he and his friends never did any drinking.
For excitement, we were for the picture show course, if we were girls would ask us to take it. Now that he is said he might attend city's social activity.
"Oh sure, I date," he said the only daughter in damage.

Royalty tradition still thriving
BSU to crown Homecoming King and Queen to honor its traditions
MINDY OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The tradition of the KU homecoming queen remains alive and well today thanks to the Black Student Union, which started its own royalty in protest of the original.
The legacy of homecoming royalty began in 1925, when the University of Kansas selected its first "Football Queen," according to homecoming.ku.edu.The title was then changed to homecoming queen in 1933.
In 1960, Chancellor E. Lawrence Chalmers refused a demand by BSU to crown a black homecoming queen during halftime of the Kansas-Iowa football game. The selection of homecoming queen remained unchanged until fall 1969 when campus was rife with anti-war demonstrations and strained race relations.
According to kuhistory. com, BSU was still dissatisfied with the University's selection process and decided to elect its own royalty, Lorene Brown. The traditionally

elected queen that year, Janet Merrick, would be the last.
"It seems inappropriate in a multicultural environment such as a university to select one or a group of young women to represent that community.

king and queen annually, except in 2003. Anniesha Scott, Junction City senior and BSU executive board member, said things just didn't work out that year.
"Homecoming snack up on us then and by the time we realized we needed to do something, it was too late. We didn't have a chance to do it well, so we weren't going to do it at all," she said.
This year, 14 students, eight women and six men, have applied for the positions.

ty was established," the statement read.
But the homecoming royalty tradition did not stop there. Ever since then, BSU has crowned a homecoming
In order to apply for the position, applicants start by collecting donations.
The money goes to fund BSU events and activities. Scott said the amount raised, or whether
they are a BSU member, does not factor into the selection process.
"Money doesn't influence how we vote because we are looking more for someone willing to be involved in BSU and be a good representative," Scott said.
In addition, applicants had to select a song which they felt best represents them as an individual. That song is then played as they walk in front of the BSU executive board and general assembly where they introduce themselves. A ballot vote is then taken to select the two winners.
After being crowned, the king receives a crown and the queen a tiara and scepter. Their responsibilities are largely ceremonial, as they help represent BSU in the Homecoming Parade.
Scott was elected homecoming queen in 2002.
She said the most important aspect of the crowning of the royalty was that the University officially recognized those elected as homecoming king and queen.
"You're not just representing BSU, but the University too. That's when it really becomes a big deal." Scott said.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Meg Stockton, Wichita sophomore and Leslie Northrop, Los Altos, Calif., sophomore, assemble postcard packages Sunday at Van Go for the Day of Caring. Day of Caring is one of the annual Homecoming events sponsored by the Homecoming Steering Committee.
In conjunction with Homecoming and the national Make a Difference Day, Oct. 22, students participated in community service projects on Sunday. The Homecoming Steering Committee and the Center for Community Outreach collaborated to make the event happen.
Frin Castaneda/KANSAN
Kathryn Istas, Omaha, Neb. sophomore, and Financial Director for the Center for Community Outreach said she jumped on the opportunity to help with the Homecoming events this year.
She said she never got to do things like that because she was usually allocating budgets and working with government documents.
Istas called 26 community service organizations in Lawrence and tried to find those that could handle large groups. The sites chosen were Campus Community Garden, Community Living Opportunity and Van Go Mobile Arts.
As the number of partici[pantsgrew, Istas had to find another organization to accommodate even larger numbers.
"We grabbed Lawrence Parks and Recreation because they would allow a group of 80 to clean up two parks in the city," she said.
CCO not only faced the challenge of finding organizations that would accommodate large numbers, but also those that could supervise or work on Sundays.
"Sunday is our only day with time to do a community service project. It is a challenge on weekends though, because there are so many people from the university and the community volunteering at
community service organizations already," said Sarah Lathrop, Phoenix, Ariz., senior and Homecoming steering committee coordinator
About 200 students volunteered this year.
"Mostly Greek organizations signed up, the only non-Greek is BSU," said Lathrop.
She and four other committee members assigned about 20-25 students per site and supervised at each.
KU adviser, Jennifer Alderdice was helping at Van Go Mobile Arts. She has been involved with homecoming activities for eight years. This was the first year KU has worked with Van Go, 715 New Jersey St.
Van Go started in 1996 with one project; it has evolved into several projects. However, the main concept, therapeutic art, has remained the same. Van Go office coordinator Mary Lamb said creating art was not its main goal. The art is used as a tool to teach disadvantaged youth life skills necessary to succeed in their community.
"Art is one of the best ways to reach out to kids, they can make something from nothing," she said. "It is about esteem building for kids. We serve the unemployable population and provide skills for them to be successful."
Each child who participates in the after-school job training program is paid. The children are paid to produce artwork that is sold in the Van Go gallery to fund the program.
"There is no other organization in Lawrence that does this type of work, so I think it is great. It's also good for the current students to learn about it." Alderdice said.
To introduce the students to Van Go, Lamb showed a short film. Afterward, she gave them directions to complete specific projects.
Normally Van Go has four to five volunteer mentors and a couple of office volunteers, so when Lamb heard she had about 15 coming her way she was excited.
Van Go recently won a national award and is preparing for its annual Dormant Sale on Nov. 26. The student volunteers assembled postcard packages and cards to sell
at the event.
Katherin Noyce, Leawood junior and Homecoming chair for Pi Beta Phi said this was the first time she had heard of it and hadn't even known where it was.
Reid Crowe, Lawrence sophomore said it was good to see programs like Van Go in Lawrence, but he said he wanted
more after-school programs for children who were not art-clinel, such as a car workshop.
Reed Schmidt, Blue Springs, Mo. senior has participated in homecoming events before, but never the community service project.
He said he decided to do it this year because he was an art major and this particular service project
appealed to him. He said when he was in high school he was involved in the Creative Arts Academy; an after school program that show-cased student's art.
"We like to do community service because we do a lot for the students," Lathrop said. "But this is a way to give back to the community."

Hope floats
No portion of the Homecoming competition quite so involved as float categories, parade
MELINDA RICKETTS

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Homecoming season is here, and organizations are once again compet-
competing for the Overall Homecoming Award. The award is won by earning the most points, which are awarded for placing first, second or third in the Homecoming events, or, for those who don't win, a smaller amount for participation.
The single most points are awarded in the two float categories. Because of this, organizations dedicate a lot of time and effort to creating the prefect float.
"We take it seriously and we have a good time, but we go all out for this," said Eric Trompeter, Atchison junior and vice-president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, partnered with Alpha Delta Pi sorority this year, has won the event
three out of the past four years.
Trompeter said they plan to start working on their float on Sunday and continue throughout the week. Sometimes in the past they have had to work through the night on the Friday before the parade.
Trompeter said it was a very time-consuming process because they used chicken wire as a base and put tissue paper in all of the holes of the chicken wire. He said they usually had a lot of people working on it.
The nature of the float is usually kept a secret until the parade, Trompeter said. Rich Littrell, Lee's Summit, Mo., senior and parade co-chair, said the most important things to keep in mind to win creativity and sticking to the theme, which is "Hawks on Haunted Hill: Legends of the Fall" this year.
Littrell is also a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, but is not participating in its preparation
for the homecoming events this year because of his position on the homecoming committee.
The winning organizations' names will be added to the Overall Homecoming Award plaque that hangs in the Kansas Memorial Union.
Another incentive to win is the bragging rights. Greek organizations will often incorporate homecoming victories into their recruitment plans, Littrell said.
Floats will be showcased and judged at the parade at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29.
The parade will begin at the Kansas Memorial Union and continue down Jayhawk Boulevard to the Chi Omega fountain and will last 30 to 45 minutes. The winner of the Overall Award will be announced at the football game.
Judging of the floats will take place in the staging area prior to the parade and as the floats go past Wescoe Beach, where the judges will be sitting.
Big ghost on campus

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The men of Sigma Nu no longer occupy their house at 1501 Sigma Nu Place, but one tradition may linger behind. Virginia, the ghost of Windmill Hill, has resided in the mansion since before the fraternity moved into the former governor's house.
Former Governor Walter Roscoe Stubbs lived in the Lawrence mansion during his term in the early 1900s. Virginia was a maidservant in the house, but "The University of Kansas Report, Winter 1992," said Virginia was also Stubbs' adopted daughter.
Sigma Nu fraternity moved in to the house during the 1920s and stayed in the house until its charter was revoked earlier this year. House legend states the young woman was murdered in 1911 and continues to haunt residents and guests to this day.
Most reports dub Virginia as Stubbs' mistress and blame his
wife for her death.
A 1995 Kansan article said that Stubbs returned from a day trip to Topeka to find his 17-year-old mistress hanging from the light fixture in the ballroom; his wife sat nearby, incoherent.
Jake Finnicum, Omaha, Neb. freshman and former prospective Sigma Nu member, said the death really occurred in her dressing room, now the boiler room in the abandoned house.
Both accounts accuse Mrs. Stubbs of the April 1911 murder; she supposedly lived her later years in an asylum.
Perhaps on a related note, the Legislature appropriated $100,000 for the establishment of a state insane asylum before Stubbs' tenure as governor ended in 1913.
Another Kansan article said former residents often heard mysterious footsteps or rattling doorknobs.
Finnicum said that the back door to a room on the third floor, nicknamed the "Ward," was never closed when the Ward's five freshmen residents
awoke each morning.
Despite their efforts to keep the door shut, he said, it would always open.
Despite the random noises and occurrences the house's male residents experienced, Finnicum said Virginia usually haunted women.
The Kansan reported a former house director woke feeling Virginia's presence over her bed; she even smelled women's perfume.
The report said another house director stirred at the smell of smoke and discovered a woman at the foot of her bed smoking a cigarette. In the Stubbs' era, the room was the smoking porch of the servants' quarters.
Blair Gisi, Aberdeen, S.D., senior and former Sigma Nu member, said he never saw any reference to a ghost while he lived in the house. He said it had been a while since Virginia appeared.
Much of the lore surrounding Virginia centers on a plaque near the fireplace in a music room that read, "The world of strife shut out, the world of love shut in."

Students behind mascot raise spirit
BETSY PROFITT
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The University of Kansas has one of the most wellrecognized mascots in the nation. Unlike many mascots at numerous schools, the Jayhawk is only at home in Lawrence.
"The Jayhawk is a symbol which nobody else has because we created it ourselves," Devon Harris, Greenwich, Conn., sophomore said. "It makes it that much more special and unique."
Unique may be the best word to describe our famous Jayhawk. Because the bird is mythical many people wonder from where the icon emerged.
Pro-slavery Kansans originally used the term "Jayhawk" when describing Free State supporters in the 1850s "Bleeding Kansas" period. The term lost its war-like connotations over time and Kansans came to embrace "Jayhawk" as a term of endearment.
In 1912 Henry Maloy created the first cartoon drawing of the Jayhawk declaring if the new mascot for the University. Prior to this it was the Bulldog. Since then there have been seven different Jayhawks. Our current Jayhawk appeared in 1946.
Big Jay, as our androgynous mascot is named, and Baby Jay are seen at sporting events and visiting days, taking pictures with fans and adding enthusiasm to crowds. These two mascots have numerous behind-the-scenes responsibilities.
The eight students who take turns wearing the giant yellow beak practice two times a week
to prepare for their appearances. Tim Welch, Salina junior, works as Big Jay, said a majority of their practice was spent organizing upcoming events.
Along with appearing at University sporting events, Big Jay and Baby Jay can be hired to visit other events. Weddings and birthday parties are the most frequently requested events. The most peculiar request came a few years ago when Big Jay was asked to be a pallbearer at a funeral.
Baby Jay, who was hatched at half-time of the homecoming game in 1971, doesn't get to travel to as many games as Big Jay but adds a lot to the scene when she is around. Laura Archer, Leawood sophomore, is one of four women who appear as Baby Jay.
"Baby Jay is more playful,"
Archer said, "While Big Jay has the more fierce persona, Baby Jay appeals to all ages."
Appearing in pictures is certainly one of the mascots' main jobs. Both Archer and Welch said it took them a while to realize it wasn't necessary for them to smile for hours because their faces were hidden.
"You naturally smile when taking pictures and after non stop photos my face would hurt." Archer said.
Although almost everyone enjoys the mascots, many children get frightened when they come near. The mascots aren't allowed to talk, which makes it difficult to reassure children that they're friendly.
Communicating with people becomes difficult when they cannot speak, so they are forced to use actions instead.
Along with game appearances, the University sends the mascots to various promotional events around the country. A few years ago Adam Reese, Manhattan senior, flew to Bristol, Conn. to film a commercial for ESPN's Sportscenter at the network's headquarters.
While there, Reeset met Lennox Lewis, a heavyweight boxer, and a couple of sportscasters. John Anderson, a Missouri alumnus, was one of the anchors.
"Anderson took a lot of pictures with me," Reese said. "He was punching me in the beak to be funny in a few."
Currently, Big Jay is participating in the Capital One Mascot Challenge where each week twelve chosen mascots are matched up against a mascot from another school.
People then vote online for
their favorite. The winner at the end of the season will be crowned at the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla., and receive $5,000. After six weeks, Big Jay is in ninth place. Fans can continue to vote for Big Jay at capitalonebowl.com.
In conjunction with this event, the TV show Wheel of Fortune played host to the Capital One All American Mascot Team on its show during the Wheel's College Road Trip Week. Welch flew to Los Angeles to film the introduction to the game show with Pat Sajak and Vanna White as well as a commercial. Unfortunately Welch said they did not meet the famous hosts. The show aired on Monday.
"I think it's a great mascot because it symbolizes everything KU stands for," Ginny Bauer, Wichita sophomore, said.
The Kansas Board of Regents votes funds to replace the original Fraser Hall, claiming it had received its usefulness.

Comedians kick off Homecoming week
Courtney HAGEN
editor@kansan.com
KAN SAN CORRESPONDENT
The lights came up on Sunday night to a crowd at the Lied Center as comedians Kenan Thompson and Seth Meyers took the stage for an hour.
The two "Saturday Night Live" performers were on hand to kick off activities for Homecoming week.
Kenan Thompson warmed up the audience with a twenty-minute set during which he covered a retrospective of his career. Thompson, who hails from Atlanta, spoke about starting out performing on the children's sketch comedy series "All That" on Nickelodeon and in the "Mighty Ducks" movie.
"It's funny because everyone is grown-up now. Most of my fans who watched growing up are all now twenty-one or twenty-two," Thompson said during his set.
His Nickelodeon days afforded him recognition with a generation that is now college aged.
Thompson got the crowd laughing with an impersonation of Bill Cosby whom he worked with on the "Fat Albert" movie and whom he also sofofs on "Saturday Night Live".
He is on his third season with the show that he claims is "the only place where you can run into Mick Jagger walking down the hall."
Thompson said it was somewhat of a surreal experience getting on the plane to come perform at the Lied Center straight from his appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in New York this past week.
"We were just taping the show yesterday and now we are in Kansas today doing this show," Thompson said to the audience. "I am really happy to be at 'Saturday Night Live.' It's fun, you get to travel all over the country doing your set."

Fellow cast mate, and fifthseason veteran, Meyers, followed Thompson's set starting out with shout outs to all of the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior students in attendance. He got the crowd
into the Homecoming spirit by insulting Kansas' rival Missouri. He compared being in Missouri to being inside an "asshole."
Meyers, who attended Northwestern University, mentioned his connection to Kansas by way of the fake ID from Topeka that he used while he attended college.
He joked about alumni returning to campus during Homecoming and complaining about how easy college is now with the advent of e-mail, cell phones and text messaging.
Meyers mentioned the lack of cell phones as being a hindrance to "late night booty calls" when he was in college and groups of students shared answering machines.
"You guys are all in college and know about the late night booty call." Meyers said to the audience. "I've got a new late night booty call that's not actually a phone call, but it works, and it is eBay."
The comedians' visit to the Lied Center was the result of hours of planning and arranging

The committee threw around different ideas for performers and finally decided to contact the William Morris Agency to book both Meyers and Thompson.
sophomore, said Meyers and Thompson were chosen because of their recognition within a wide audience and their prominence on the thirty-year old Saturday Night Live show.
"They are really well-known and they cater to a very wide audience." Hall said. "Everyone has been tuning into 'Saturday Night Live' since they were kids. We wanted everyone to get involved in Homecoming as well, not just KU students."
were also chosen to bolster the University's prominence among competing universities.
Curzon said the performers
"I think it is important to bring in performers like this to KU because it is good to show that we as a community can do big events such as this like any other school," Curzon said. "KU has a reputation of having a great Homecoming and this is one way to boost that reputation on a national level. This is a great way to kick off Homecoming, it is always fun to start with something big."

Jayhawks' perspective changes over years
"Hi Mom, I'm a Jay hawk. I'm convinced that my mother still doesn't know what I need to learn to
doesn't know what I was trying to tell her on Traditions Night.
My road to becoming a KU student was an arduous one. It involved receiving letters from other schools and receiving insufficient financial aid. Finally, I received my scholarship offer and happily donned the crimson and blue. My KU alumnus uncle sent me a gift bag when he found out.
FRESHMAN PERSPECTIVE
I was very active in high school and wanted to continue to be involved in college.
The two-and-a-half months that I've been here have flown by; it's hard to imagine that the year is already one-fourth over. I've seen Carlos Mencia and Salman Rushdie at the Lied Center in the same week.
KELSEY HAYES
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
At this early point in my college career, KU still means a lot of things. It's going to Yello Sub before hitting the Friday night movie at the Union. It's stepping on battered and rotten pears in front of Marvin Hall and wondering what the hell the Class of 1947 was thinking. It's saying I'm going home to Lewis rather than simply going back "to the dorm."
I know that as quickly as high school flew by, college is bound to be even faster. The last thing I want is to leave KU with regrets about not taking advantage of what I was offered.
We all have different definitions of time well-spent. In the end, what will matter most are people.
The atmosphere at KU is
almost overwhelming. Experiencing it for the first time as a student is a little like what I imagine regaining sight after twenty years of blindness might entail. There is so much going on that it's impossible to do everything — but you can try.
This week's Homecoming events surpassed my expectations greatly. I'm the kind of person that appreciates school spirit and abhors showmanship.
I believe that at no other time in our lives will we be in an environment that challenges us, nurtures us and encourages us to push ourselves to be our best, more than the years we'll spend at KU.
We'll never be this carefree, spontaneous and open-minded again. Embrace it.
Mom, we're all Jayhawks.
Hayes is a Lenexa freshman in journalism and political science
Last week I was at the Student Recreation Fitness Center when I saw a throng of people standing in the entrance. With name tags, parents nearby and plastic bags in hand, there was no question that these were visiting high school students.
SOPHOMORE PERSPECTIVE
The scene immediately transported me back two years when I stood in those very same shoes, eager to know how I might become a KU student.
I eventually chose the crimson and blue for a number of reasons. After comparing senior visits with other schools, my father and I felt the University left us with the best impression.
The beautiful campus, wonderful community and strong tradition helped strengthen my decision; I would become a lavhawk.
My hometown is small and, although the change in the number of my peers was a positive factor

EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
behind my decision, attending a campus of more than 28,000 students after graduating with only 52 was quite intimidating.
This year, I'm enjoying the University more than ever because many first experiences have passed. I remember my first day of biology lecture last year. Sitting in a classroom with more students than my entire high school student body was initially overwhelming.
I recall the memorie of my first campus tour and am amazed by my changed perception of campus.
My freshman year has afforded me so many opportunities. I
finally have a sense of the University environment by creating my own experiences.
I've had my first taste of Lawrence nightlife, waited in line for my basketball tickets outside Allen Fieldhouse, sung the alma mater at Traditions Night and eaten my first slice of Wheel pizza.
I've written my first article for the Kansan and am no longer only visiting the house on Monday nights but am living in Kappa Kappa Gamma. I've taken final exams and waved the wheat following a victory.
This year I've realized as I've walked along Jayhawk Boulevard and seen hundreds of other students that I am one of them.
I no longer feel like an outsider looking in, but like part of the community.

Jayhawks' perspective changes over years
JUNIOR PERSPECTIVE
It usually happens when I am walking to class on a beautiful spring or fall day, a good feeling rushes through me — I love it here at the University of Kansas.
Throughout high school, I eagerly awaited my college career, the time I would finally be able to leave Kansas. Kansas, the place I was born and raised, a place where I did not fit, a place I was ashamed of.
If I had any doubt that the University was different, they were disproved in the spring of my freshmen year when there was a drag show on the porch of the Kansas Union.
In-state tuition, though rising rapidly, was a bargain compared to other schools that I considered which cost five to 10 times as much.
I soon learned that although the University is geographically in Kansas, it is spiritually far, far away. It is difficult to know when I first realized this. It might have been when I saw people walking on a rope tied between two trees or maybe when I discovered that the majority of people held my political beliefs.
Since my realization, I began to value many different aspects of it. First, and foremost, it offers a great education, despite what the people at US News and World
RYAN KUSMIN
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
Report think. The majority of KU faculty and teaching assistants are fine instructors and care about teaching and student success.
No matter what your interests are, the University has something for you. I fell victim to basketball fever my freshman year. I never really considered myself as someone who enjoyed sports, but Kansas basketball is the exception. KU basketball is rich in tradition and the University has one of the most successful college basketball programs in the nation.
Despite what some people tell you, life at the University does exist outside of basketball. For instance, though I am not a music major, I sing in the Men's Glee Club, one of the many music groups on campus that anyone, no matter their major, can participate in. I also have started to use the practically brand-new Student Recreation Fitness Center to get in shape.
One of the best parts of the University is the campus itself. It's beautiful and, at many times,
simply breathtaking. I think my preferred season is the spring when the campus is covered in tulips. I have got to hand it to Facilities Operations for keeping our campus gorgeous.
But perhaps my favorite feature of campus is the Campanile. It may be a little odd-looking, but I have come to rely on its time and enjoy trying to identify the songs played on it.
In my past two years at the University, I have come to appreciate a school that I came to with lukewarm feelings. I cannot believe I have less than two years left. Though some things have changed during my tenure at the University, the biggest change I have seen at the University is in me.
I have changed my opinions. Sure, Kansas has some wackos, a lot of whom are on the school board, but it has a lot of amazing people as well, as I learned by coming here.
And the University, despite my misgivings, is more than just a bargain, it is an outstanding school. I have come to accept and be proud that Kansas is my state, my university, my life. I love it here.

Muck Fizzou. Down with Missouri. Missouri is neither a proper place nor noun. We've all heard it before. We've seen it in the Free for All, we we've seen it in white writing on blue t-shirts, we've seen it scrawled on poster board in the stands of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium.
At the University of Kansas, there is no shortage of unbridled hatred for the Tigers.

In 1869 Mizzou first tangled with the University of Kansas. One fateful Saturday morning, a few slack-jawed fellows from Mizzou thought it'd be "a bona-fide kneeslapper" if they were to sneak into Lawrence and steal our mascot. Of course, they didn't realize you can't steal a fictional bird.
So, they settled on puke yellow and sinister black.
After several hours of running about like lunatics with nets, trying desperately to "snag one of them the Jayhawkin' birds," a few kind-hearted KU students sat them down and tried to explain that the Jayhawk was mythical. I actually found a transcript of the meeting in the deepest, darkest corner of the Mizzou Library.
KANSAS STUDENT: So, you
see, you can't actually steal aja-hawk because they aren't real.
MIZZOU STUDENT. What you mean? I seen 'dem on deh picture box every Sunday!
KANSAS STUDENT. No, young man, those are actually cartoon representation of a fictional mascot. Like Toucan Sam. Toucan Sam isn't real either.
MIZZOU STUDENT What!? Toucan Sam? Not real? Well, now I know you's cookin' my grits. You's Kansas folks is always trying to pull a fast one on us humble Missourh peoples!
In 1976, Mizzou administration decided it would be the perfect time to move forward with one of their most dastardly creations ever. So they put an ad in the Mizzou newspaper requesting a new basketball coach.
FACULTY PERSPECTIVE
Well, Satan was kind of bored that day, so he decided to learn how to make spaghetti. He left it in the oven of Hell for too long, and it became an evil entity that could suck the souls out of mankindand effectively take a Big 12 basketball team to the NIT. That's right; Satan's spaghetti became the hair of Quin Snyder.

First of all, this is too large a topic for such a small column; but I'll try. There's a lot I'll have to leave out, like the beautiful campus, the basketball, the great new gym (only $20 a month for professor!) Lawrence itself, the restaurants, India Palace, etc.
Largely what comes to mind are the resources afforded by a large university, the faculty in my department and the students.
I feel particularly lucky to teach at the University of Kansas because it is a world-class university and as such provides generous resources to support faculty research. It wants its professors to be the best, to be active in their
fields, to discover new ideas and to participate in international conversations.
To this end it assigns them only a moderate teaching load, so that they can devote substantial resources to their professional work. It provides entire facilities (in my case, The Hall Center) whose mission is to support faculty development, assist professors in identifying appropriate grants and applying for them.
The University allocates research fellowships, and matches outside grants, meaning that when faculty win a substantial grant, the University will donate an equal amount, so that the professor can devote an

I particularly appreciate this as a fiction writer, as few jobs allow the time and space for writing.
Academia is famous for squabbling and petty jealousies within departments. This is not the case at this University. Everyone in the English department is extremely kind. From my first visit here I was welcomed with incredible generosity.
Although they were busy with their teaching, families and outside work, everyone went out of their way to invite me to dinner. They asked me about my interests and helped me to adjust to the University by offering to lend me teaching materials and giving me tips on organizing my time.
I feel so lucky to be part of such a happy, warm department with such brilliant, renowned professors.
Finally, perhaps most importantly, the students here are wonderful.
At this University, many of the students help pay for college, and most work an outside job; yet, or perhaps because

of this, they really care about learning.
They are always polite, friendly and engaged. I've been shocked again and again when, even though students in my seminars are allowed to miss three classes for any reason they please, many of them miss none at all. (I was not this good as a student; I would
have missed the classes). Their attendance (in all senses) is not because I'm a great teacher; I'm not, though I try. It's because the students are great students.
They constantly inspire me, elevate our discussions to greater levels, ones I had not considered, and bring levity and excitement to the room. As writers, they have incredible talent.
I feel so lucky to be able to read their stories, novels and papers, and to laugh out loud or be moved. And I feel honored to have asked to do so.

Student Leaders Ex.C.E.L.
Finalists to be announced at Mizzou game
MEGAN PENROD
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
The Ex.C.E.L. Award for Excellence in Community, Education and Leadership is a long-standing part of the University of Kansas' Homecoming tradition, and have been since they replaced conventional "King" and "Queen" in 1969.
The award aims to honor students who have demonstrated academic achievement and involvement in the community.
The Award Selection Committee narrowed the pool of 35 applicants to 10 finalists - five men and five women.
"The award finalists represent the best student leaders on campus."
Jennifer Denny Awards/Ex.C.E.L. Chair
The committee chose the finalists based on the finalists' capacity for leadership, effective communication skills, involvement in the community, scholarship and their ability to interact with a variety of student organizations and students.
The award finalists will be presented at a Homecoming reception on Friday, Oct. 28 and at the Homecoming parade.
will be announced following the halftime show of the Homecoming game versus Missouri.
The winners of the award
— one man and one woman
The recipients of the awards will receive $500 from the Board of Class Officers and a complimentary class ring from the Student Alumni Association.
The winners will also be able to hone their leadership skills by working on the Blueprints Leadership Conference during the Spring semester.
The conference, hosted by the Student Involvement and Leadership Center every spring, attempts to build leadership skills in students through group interaction.
"The award finalists represent the best student leaders on campus," said Awards/Ex.C.E.L Chairwoman Jennifer Denny.
She said this year's Award Selection Committee, "had a remarkable pool of applicants and there is no doubt the prestige of the award grows each year."
Denny said the finalists had shown "outstanding dedication to their peers and community" while they remained focused on their classes and received good grades.
This year's finalists are Juan Araoz, Ali Bannwarth, Greyson Clymer, Marynell Jones, Nicole Kansier, Elizabeth Morel, Ethan Nuss, Jenna Sheldon-Sherman, Kyle Stearns, and Tyler Waldorf.
Hunt a new tradition
ERIN CASTANEDA

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 11A
Last Spring the members of the Homecoming Committee decided to bring a tradition from some of their hometowns to the University of Kansas.
A Medallion Hunt sponsored by The University Daily Kansan and Homecoming Committee is a new addition to Homecoming Week this year.
Daily events co-chairman, Kyle Stearns, Derby senior, said the medallion hunt was a tradition in Derby and other small towns in Kansas so the committee members thought it would be a good tradition to bring to the
KU campus to try to get more people involved in Homecoming events
Medallion Hunts a part of a long-standing ritual in Kansas. Several cities such as Independence, Derby and Wichita have had a medalition hunt for years. The Wichita Eagle used to sponsor the event for the Wichita River Festival.
medallion for a large cash prize.
The newspaper would run clues in the newspaper hinting where to find the medallion, a plastic disc, hiding on public property somewhere in the city limits.
The finder could redeem the
Legends of

Hawks or
Haunted Hill
According to The Wichita Eagle, The Windwagon Treasure Medalion Hunt ended its 27-
ear tradition in 2001 in favor of a new contest that allowed more people to win and be involved.
The purpose of the medallion hunt at the University is to involve more people during Homecoming. Anyone can participate, and the chances for winning are better because the medallion is hidden on campus, not within city limits.
Jaybowl in the Kansas Memorial Union, which has an engraving
service, engraved the medallion.
Stearns said it is about the size of someone's palm.
That small piece of information in addition to weekly clues printed in the University Daily Kansan will lead a lucky winner to the secret location. When the medallion is discovered it can be turned in at Stauffer-Flint during regular operating hours.
Unlike the Medallion Hunts in other cities that provide a large cash prize up to thousands of dollars, the KU winner will receive a prize package including a Homecoming 2005 T-shirt, coupons for Lawrence businesses and the medallion.
"I hope my predecessors take this tradition on and it continues," Stearns said.

Being in band not just about music
KELSEY HAYES
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A t first glance, they resemble a military unit. It's 3:50 p.m on a
Friday afternoon. On the other side of Iowa, slightly west of the Dole Institute of Politics, almost 200 marching band and flag team members stand in formation, instruments — whether they be trumpets, flutes, flags or drums — at the ready. At the instruction of John Hudson, director of athletic bands, they break out into song.
While Hudson stands atop a watchtower, viewing the band members, he gives near-constant directions about how the music should be played. Once satisfied
that his pupils know what to do,
he gives a final instruction.
"Let 'er rip."
Brandon Bowman, Lawrence junior and drum major, conducts his peers from the top of a small stepladder.
Practices typically run two hours long, and take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. On home game days, a Saturday morning rehearsal takes place in Memorial Stadium.
"KU has so much tradition that is rooted within the band and I am excited to be a part of that living tradition," said Kate Motter, Lenexa freshman.
Among the band's proudest achievements was winning the Sudler Trophy in 1989. The trophy is awarded to collegiate bands that are innovative and
progressive, both musically and academically. The University's band remains one of the most decorated groups in the country; however, such honor doesn't come cheap. It's paid for with time and energy, but members are willing to pay that price.
"I feel like band is my life," said Erin Brvan. Lenexa freshman.
Bryan joined the University's marching band as a trumpet player and is also in the audition-only Symphonic and Jazz bands.
"I think people underestimate the work load because they've never experienced being in a corps," Bryan said. "It's intense."
The band that the public sees on game days is only the tip of the iceberg. The precision demanded of members comes
from hours upon hours of group practice, which takes time and patience. Everyone has to depend on everyone else to know their music and to perform at their best. Every piece of music that the band plays is done by memory.
"We must become responsible for our own uniforms, dry-cleaning, horn-polishing, memorization of the show music and stand tunes and much more." Bran said.
Not every band member is a music major, even though some are. Motter, for instance, is a chemical engineering major, and plays the trumpet in her spare time.
"It's totally worth it," Motter said of the time commitment. "The students view band as more of a social outlet than
as an obligation. It's a wonderful opportunity to instantly gain 200 friends."
Tim Patterson, 1990 graduate, was a trumpet player in the University's marching and basketball pep bands under director Robert Foster. Patterson was present for what may be considered the greatest sports victory in University history.
"I was in the basketball band in 1988 when KU won the national championship. That night was the last time I ever played 'I'm a Jayhawk,'" Patterson said.
Patterson counts the road trips to away games as some of his fondest band memories.
"I went to Hawaii in 1985," Patterson said. "We also got to travel to the away football
games, which was fun. I had the opportunity to see a game at all of the old Big 8 schools."
Patterson said his favorite marching band memory was beating Oklahoma at home in 1984. A football season-ticket holder, Patterson still enjoys watching the band play for home games.
"I sometimes get goose bumps when I watch the 'run-in' part of the pregame," he said.
The 'run-in' is when the band members run onto the field from the north end of the stadium.
When all is said and done, the experience speaks for itself, as far as Motter is concerned.
"It it gets hot outside and we prep a lot," she said. "But when the game comes around, it's worth it."

tor in establishing a proper rate for all drivers. The more infractions a driver has, the higher premium he will pay because drivers with multiple infractions represent a higher risk to the insurance company, Kummer said.
If a bad driver's record appears spotless when offenses are really going unrecorded, then the risk is not divided equally among all drivers, Kummer said. That means good drivers share the financial burden, he said.
Despite this, drivers such as Davidson are willing to pay higher fines for tickets to avoid having the infraction on their motor vehicle records.
From Sept. 15 to 30, the court filed 367 speeding charges and amended 100 tickets to inattentive driving, according to Lawrence Municipal Court records.

Female enrollment level with men
The Big 12 North is finally catching up to the University of Kansas in terms of female enrollment.
"The News Hour," a PBS news show, reported that 56 percent of the nation's college students were women. This statistic is reflected in the Big 12, where women are being encouraged to attend college and enter previously male-dominated fields. Universities are changing
The University of Kansas reported in 2004 that 52 percent of its students were women, an amount which hasn't varied for the past decade. The University had the largest representation of women in 2000. at 52.9 percent.

to accommodate the growing female populations.
Overall, the population of women and men at the University has been pretty equal, said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett,
senior vice provost of academic affairs. The number of women on campus was not something she could see changing any time soon, she said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she attributed the equal population to the fact that there were no programs at the University that were exclusively dominated by one gender. There has also been a history of women attending college at the University since it
began. There were women in the first graduating class, she said.
Ann Korschgen, vice provost for enrollment management, said she had noticed that some programs used to be male-dominated but now had a growing number of women.
The University of Missouri-Columbia also has enrollment figures that, like the University of Kansas, have been consistent for the last four years. In 2004, 51.5 percent of students were women.

Phone aids in weight loss
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Getting help with weight loss could be as easy as making a weekly phone call, according to a recent study by the KU Center for Physical Activity and Weight Management.
The study found that participating in weight loss clinics over the phone was almost as effective as attending them in person. Lawrence post-doctoral student and researcher Elizabeth Stewart said a conference call was not better than a state-of-the-art weight management clinic, but it appeared to be an effective alternative.
"This could be very promising in the future as people become busier and busier." Stewart said.

He said as long as students have a copy of the confirmation page, they would be allowed into the game. If the ID does not scan, he said students would be allowed into the game if the student section is not full.
Students will be able to claim their men's basketball tickets online Monday.
Students can either redeem their tickets in person at the athletics ticket office, located on the west side of Memorial Stadium, or use the Athletics Department Web site. www.kuathetics.com, to redeem tickets through the online ticket office.
There is no charge for redeeming tickets in person, but there will be a $1 fee for each ticket redeemed online.
Students' ID cards will serve as tickets to games at Allen Fieldhouse this season.
This year students will be able to give their tickets to other students for a $2.50 charge. Both students must go to the ticket office together to complete paperwork to transfer the ticket.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the department was prepared for problems with IDs not scanning and students not finishing the online process, two of the most common problems at schools with similar ticket systems.
Nick Sterner, student body president, said he presented the idea for a possible online ticket system to the Athletics Department last spring.

Suicide bomber kills five in open-air market
HADERA, Israel — A 20-year-old Palestinian blacksmith blew himself up at a falafel stand in an open-air market Wednesday, killing five Israelis and wounding more than 30 in the deadliest attack in the country in more than three months.
The bombing stifled faint peace hopes following Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip. The blast also embarrassed Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who had scolded militant groups only hours earlier for repeatedly violating the truce.
The Islamic Jihad, a militant group whose goal is the "liberation" of historical Palestine, claimed responsibility, saying the attack was to avenge the killing of its West Bank leader by Israeli forces this week.
The bomber struck while the market in the central town of Hadera was bustling a day after being closed for the Jewish holiday of Simhat Torah.

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Groups deny state use of material
BY JOHN HANNA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Two national groups say the state can't use their copyrighted material in proposed science standards that critics contend promote creationism, a religious theory of human origins.
The National Academy of Sciences and the National Science Teachers Association notified the Department of Education in writing, the groups and state officials confirmed Wednesday to The Associated Press.
The department had sought permission to use material from each group's standards to include in its revision.
The State Board of Education is expected to vote next month on the proposed standards, which incorporate language sought by intelligent-design advocates expressing skepticism about evolution.
jority contends it wanted only to give students a complete and balanced view of evolution, but critics said they're promoting intelligent design, which detractors have described as a repackaged form of creationism.
The standards, which must be updated periodically under Kansas law, are used to develop student achievement tests for measuring how well schools are performing.
Kansas officials had expected the groups to deny permission because the proposed standards represent a shift from treating evolution as a well-established theory crucial for students in understanding science.
However, they don't mandate how science is taught in the 300 school districts.
The board's conservative ma-
"They are such adamant evolutionists," said board Chairman Steve Abrams, of Arkansas City, who favors the proposed standards. "I'm surprised they haven't done it already. Everybody knew it was coming."
BTK
Lawsuit filed against killer
Psychologists sued over use of interviews
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline on Tuesday sued two Massachusetts psychologists hired by a state agency to interview BTK serial killer Dennis Rader before his sentencing, accusing the psychologists and their company of
profiting from a videotape of a session with the man who terrorized Wichita for decades.
Segments of the psychologists' interview conducted with Rader on June 27, the day he pleaded guilty, were broadcast by "Dateline NBC" five days before his sentencing in August to consecutive life sentences for
It is unthinkable that anyone would attempt to profit off of the victims of these heinous acts. We will do everything within our authority and the power of this office to protect the victims from further
Kline also wants the court to order the return of all materials, including notes, memoranda, analysis, research and tapes. He also is asking for an injunction to prohibit any further use of property belonging to the indigent defense board that was obtained through the contract with the state and contact with
exploitation." Phill Kline Kansas Attorney General
Kline said the Board of Indigent Defense Services, which is a state-paid agency that represented Rader, had paid the company $57,314 for its services. The suit seeks a refund along with damages in excess of $75,000.
10 killings between 1974 and 1991.
Kline filed the lawsuit in Sedgwick County District Court against Robert Mendoza, a forensic neuropsychologist; Tali Walters, a forensic psychologist; and their company, Cambridge Forensic Consultants, of Chestnut Hill, Mass. Days after Rader's arrest, the company offered its service to the defense team representing Rader.
The psychologists obtained a release from Rader to allow them to benefit financially from their involvement in his defense. Kline said that arrangement breached a contract with the state, violated the privacy rights of victims and jeopardized the prosecution.
The lawsuit did not make clear how the psychologists allegedly profited from the videotape, nor did it suggest that "Dateline" had paid the pair for the tape. A spokeswoman for "Dateline" declined to comment.
ing his sentencing hearing.
In the tape aired by "Dateline," Rader talked about how he felt like a "star" when he pleaded guilty — a statement that prosecutors pointed to dur-
Rader.
"It is unthinkable that anyone would attempt to profit off of the victims of these heinous acts," Kline said. "We will do everything within our authority and the power of this office to protect the victims from further exploitation."
In the taped interview
broadcast on the NBC program, Rader talked about sexual fantasies that he said motivated him to kill.
Walters and Mendoza referred calls for comment to Topeka attorney Steve Cavanaugh.
Cavanaugh said it would be premature for him to comment on specific allegations in Kline's petition.
"We don't believe all the allegations are accurate, and my clients will be filing an appropriate response." he said.
Kline told reporters Mendoza sent two letters to the Board of Indigent Defense Services in which he indicated he would respect the privacy of all involved and acknowledged resources obtained through their efforts were state property.
Asked why he was filing a lawsuit rather than criminal charges, Kline said that the evidence supported that approach.
He declined to comment on the possibility of any future charges, saying the investigation is ongoing. He also wouldn't say whether he thought defense attorneys had done anything wrong.

▼ WAR IN IRAQ
Death toll now over 2,000
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 3B
It may have killed a senior Al Qaeda in Iraq figure identified only as Abu Dua who it said assisted in smuggling Syrian and Saudi fighters into Iraq, the U.S. military said.
The soldier, whose identity was withheld pending notification of relatives, died in a vehicle accident Tuesday evening near Camp Bucca, a U.S. detention center in southern Iraq, the military said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A U.S. warplane also struck a suspected insurgent safe house near the Syrian border Wednesday.
BAGHDAD. Iraq — The American death toll reached 2,001 on Wednesday with the announcement that a soldier died in an accident the night before.
The statement also accused him of kidnapping and executing people after trying them in makeshift religious courts.
A military statement said intelligence sources indicated that Abu Dua — who allegedly was part of an al-Qaida network along the Syrian border — was in the house at the time of the attack but his body has not been recovered.
A roadside bomb also destroyed a Humvee in a U.S. convoy on Wednesday, but no American casualties were reported in that attack.
Also, three mostly Sunni Arab parties said they had formed a coalition to compete in upcoming parliamentary elections as the minority moved to consolidate its power in the political arena.

Generic flu drug weighed
BY BETH DUFF-BROWN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HEALTH
That said, some officials at the opening of a two-day conference on battling a potential flu pandemic were discussing whether they might have to break international patent regulations to produce generic versions of Tamiflu if it came down to saving their civilians.
OTTAWA, Canada — World health ministers meeting in Canada to discuss strategies to fight the spread of bird flu emphasized Monday that preventing the disease from mutating into a deadly human virus was as important as developing new vaccines against it.
"A suggestion that's being made by some countries is that there are countries that have the capacity to manufacture the vaccine, that we actually need to assist them with technology transfers," Canada's Health Minister Ujial Dosanjh told a news conference. He said technology transfers was "a euphemism for loosening the patent laws."
The World Trade Organization in 2003 decided to allow governments
Dosanjh was referring to recent statements by Indian authorities, who are weighing whether there is enough risk of bird flu spreading in their impoverished nation to invoke a compulsory licensing clause to lift Swiss pharmaceutical Roche's patent of Tamiflu, the coveted anti-flu drug considered by many as the only viable one that can fight bird flu.
"It may not be resolved here; but there are countries out there that are saying they will defy patent protections and we couldn't be judgmental if people are diving." Dosanih said.
to override patents during national health crises, though no member state has yet invoked the clause.
World Health Organization Director General Lee Jong-Wook said the conference delegates were to consider a proposal by Mexico for the wealthier nations to put aside 10 percent of their stockpiles of Tamiflu and other potential influenza drugs for poorer nations. He said some nations had suggested 5 percent was more in line with reality, but conceded some countries likely would hoard drugs in the face of a true pandemic.

He said he had worked closely with the department to provide student input while the system was being designed during the summer. Sterner said the system was meant to provide students an alternative to waiting in line at the ticket office.

The same was true for programs previously thought of as "women's programs," she said. But they still had some ways to go.
"Someday we might have more women in engineering and men in social work," Korschgen said. "But that's not the case today."
Kansas State University has seen rapid growth in the number of women attending college during the past three years, said Pat Bosco, KSU dean of student life.
Kansas State was traditionally known as a male-dominated university.
It still is, with women holding around 45 percent of the student body.
But now, Bosco said women were becoming more prevalent in architecture and engineering, two previously male-dominated fields, and there were more female leaders in student government.
Kansas State has had to make some adjustments because of the growing number of female students. Bosco said the residence halls had to figure out how to make more rooms for women, for example.
Only 44 percent of the students at Iowa State University are women.
It is a concern that there aren't as many women as there are men on campus, said Marc Harding, ISU director of Enrollment Services.
Harding said the predominance of men was due, in part, to Iowa State's engineering school, which is the seventh largest engineering school in the country. Now, Iowa State has taken the initiative to recruit women engineers to the school by launching outreach programs.
Iowa State has active organizations for female engineers, such as the Women in Science and Engineering program, Harding said.
It also has a program that brings grade school girls to Iowa State to study science and math-related courses.
Other programs at Iowa State that were previously male-dominated have started including more females.
This has become especially prevalent in its veterinary school, where women are now the majority, he said.
Harding also said that a new diversity initiative was being launched, and gender would be a hot topic of discussion.

Evolution critic set to speak
EDUCATION
BY JOHN HANNA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A retired law professor, who's sometimes called the father of the intelligent design movement, plans to speak Saturday at Washburn University, amid an ongoing debate over how evolution is taught in Kansas' public schools.
Phillip Johnson's visit is sponsored by Christian Challenge, a student group on the Topeka campus. The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the university's union.
Johnson, who taught at the University of California in Berkeley, is best known for a
1991 book, "Darwin on Trial," a critique of evolution and the work of 19th century British naturalist Charles Darwin, who outlined the theory in an 1859 book.
His speech is only three days before the scheduled opening of a two-year exhibit on evolution at the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas. Also, the State Board of Education expects to vote next month on proposed science standards that contain language expressing skepticism about evolution.
Organizers of the event said they didn't invite Johnson because of the board's discussions on science standards or the evo
lution exhibit, but because they wanted to inform the public about the debate over the theory and intelligent design.
"It isn't a point of view that we really ever hear on campus from professors on campus," said Joe Foreman Jr., Christian Challenge's president and a senior studying economics. "I just hope people get more informed and realize there is credible opposition to evolution."
Intelligent design argues that some natural features are best explained by an intelligent cause because they're well-ordered and complex.
Johnson's "Darwin on Trial"
was important because it en-
larges
couraged younger scientists to get involved in the debate over evolution, said Bruce Chapman, the president of the Discovery Institute in Seattle, which supports intelligent design research.
"He is often called the godfather of intelligent design," Chapman said. "He really had a seminal role in developing this critique of Darwin."
Steve Case, assistant director of the Center for Science Education at the University of Kansas, finds that critique unconvincing, but said Johnson is "the source of the party line" and the "founding father of intelligent design."
Weight Loss
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Joe Donnelly, director of the center, led the study. It took 80 overweight participants and randomly divided them into three groups: a group of 29 people who attended weight loss clinics in person, a group of 29 people who participated in clinics over the phone and a group of 22 people who did not participate in clinics.
The study found that the groups that worked with a clinic lost much more weight than the group that did not.
The group that participated in person lost only a few more pounds than the group that participated over the phone.
Keith Van Gasken, senior trainer for Health Management Resources in Boston, said he had worked a lot with Donnnelly in studies to find effective weight loss strategies. In this study he was in charge of the phone-based clinic while Donnnelly was in charge of the imperson clinic.
He said the major topic of the phone conferences was diet compliance.
He would speak with the participants about their eating habits before each clinic so he could prepare ways to support them in sticking to their diets every day.
The study found that the groups that worked with a clinic lost much more weight than the group that did not.
The phone clinics were in a group format, with anywhere from six to 12 people on the phone at the same time.
He said he led discussions instructing participants how to stay on their diets.
"I've been involved in this kind of research for years, and it boils down to who shows up for classes and who sticks to the diet the longest," Van Gasken said.
Stewart said many participants in the phone group told the center afterwards that they liked the privacy aspect of the phone.
The phone method could also potentially save money for participants. Stewart said they would have no transportation
or fuel costs because they could call from home, as well as no child care costs and no missed time from work.
The study lasted 26 weeks. The first 12 weeks concentrated on weight loss. During this time participants were held to 1200 calorie diets and exercised about five hours per week. The next 14 weeks concentrated on weight maintenance.
During this time, each participant had a structured eating plan designed to meet his or her calorie needs.
Participants had a basic diet of at least three weight loss shakes, two entrees of provided pre-packaged food and at least five one-cup servings of fruits or vegetables per day.
Donnelly's research team recently submitted a proposal to receive a grant to the National Institutes of Health.
The team would use the grant to attempt to replicate the study on a larger scale.

Jerry Little, Lawrence city prosecutor, said people often visited Lawrence Municipal Court to get their traffic tickets amended to inattentive driving. Little said he had never received any complaints from insurance agents. Drivers must pay double the fine on the first amended ticket and triple the fine on the second. On the third, they pay quadruple the fine and they must meet with Little. Drivers can get up to three amendments in one year; on the fourth, they must pay the fine and go to court, Little said. The practice helps municipal courts save money because trials cost taxpayers more, he said.
"it's kind of a quid pro quo." Little said. "You avoid the trial, we'll keep it off your driving record."
Charlene Bailey, spokeswoman for the Kansas Insurance Department, said the department did not have jurisdiction over whether cities in Kansas engage in the practice. Typically, however, people cannot buy their way out of a major infraction, which might involve a life-threatening accident, she said.

Floridians criticize FEMA
Homeland security secretary tours area, asks for patience
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Wednesday asked victims of Hurricane Wilma to have patience for relief efforts as he surveyed crumpled boats, shattered mobile homes and snaking lines of cars at fuel stations along the storm's path.
Stepping up aid in Wilma's wake, Chertoff promised to deploy cargo planes overnight to gather water and ice from across the country for delivery by today. He also said the government was working to find more power generators to send to south Florida and called on oil companies to help distributors get fuel out of the ground and into gas tanks.
"I have to say, in honesty, patience will be required for everybody." Chertoff told The Associated Press during his flight
to Florida. "Under the best circumstances, even in the best planning, you still confront the physical reality of a destructive storm."
Chertoff took an aerial tour of the Miami area by helicopter as part of a day in Florida overseeing the federal government's response to Wilma. Though he acknowledged delays in getting supplies to storm victims even two days after Wilma blew through the state, he said the demand for water, food, ice and gas simply outstripped what authorities had stockpiled in preparation.
of frustrated local officials who pleaded for water, ice, fuel and most importantly -power.
Chertoff oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which was widely criticized for the government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina when it ravaged the Gulf Coast nearly two months ago.
Power shortages were one of the largest problems, said Miami-Dade County Commissioner, Carlos Gimanez, who pressed Chertoff for more generators. As many as 2.8 million power customers were still without electricity on Wednesday, said Gov. Jeb Bush.
He spent part of Wednesday hearing pleas and complaints from local officials. He was greeted in Opa Locka by a group
Other local officials were more vocal in their frustrations.
"It's not a matter of we lack fuel, we just can't get it out of the ground because we lack power." Gimanez said. "Grocery stores are closed because we don't have power. The longer we go without power, the worse the situation gets."
Did he get a satisfactory response from Chertoff? "He said he'll look into it," Gimanez said. "That's as good as I'm going to get. He's not going to tell me there's 10,000 generators on the way."
Before Chertoff arrived in Miami, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez said he was "disappointed, angered" that FEMA hadn't sent more emergency supplies and that some sites were running low of water and ice.
Alvarez said FEMA officials had not been able to tell him when more supplies would be coming. He said bureaucratic delays were hindering Miami officials from distributing supplies from a site in Homestead, Fla., where FEMA delivered them.
In Tallahassee, where Chertoff began his swing through Florida, Gov. Bush defended FEMA's performance and said the blame for any delays should fall on his shoulders.
"The emergency operations folks are doing their job, and they do it well here, irrespective of what people write." Bush told Chertoff as the two toured the state's emergency operations center, accompanied by a reporter. "I've got total confidence in that at the end of this, our reputations will be intact. . . We've worked our asses off."
Turning to the reporter, the governor said, "You can quote me on that."
Bush said an estimated 4,000 storm evacuees remained in 31 shelters across the state.

People wait in line for gasoline in Broward County, Fla., on Wednesday. Frustration mounted on the third day of recovery from Hurricane Wilma, with the scramble for gas, ice, food and water causing long lines and traffic snarls, which prompted renewed criticism of storm planning and response.

FDA considers over-the-counter sales of home HIV test kits
BY JOHN J. LUMPKIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Swab the inside of your mouth. Put that swab into a vial of test fluid, and 20 minutes later you'll learn whether you're infected with the virus that causes AIDS.
The OraQuick Advance test is already widely available in health clinics and doctors' offices. The Food and Drug Administration is considering its sale over the counter.
Supporters of home kits said they would encourage more people to get tested and get treatment sooner if infected. But
concerns have been raised about whether a doctor or counselor should be nearby when people find out they are HIV-positive.
The test is accurate more than 99 percent of the time, Spair said. Still, a positive result from the test should be confirmed through an additional test by doctors or public health officials, he said.
The maker, OraSure Technology of Bethlehem, Pa., has not decided how much it will charge consumers for the kit, said Ron Spair, the company's chief financial officer. The company sells the kits for between $12 and $17 to clinics and doctors, he said.
Those antibodies become present in the body several weeks after a person acquires HIV; the test will not detect the virus if it was more recently acquired.
The OraQuick Advance test is already widely available in health clinics and doctors' offices. The Food and Drug Administration is considering its sale over the counter.
To take the test, a person swabs the inside of his mouth, between his cheek and gum, picking up not saliva but cells lining the mouth. The user then inserts the swab into a vial of fluid that comes with the kit. Twenty minutes later, an indicator will light up if the test detects the presence of HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibodies.
On Nov. 3, FDA's Blood Products Advisory Committee will consider whether to recommend the product for over-the-counter sales. The FDA has the final say; it usually follows the advice of
FDA briefing documents posted on the Internet said the kits could lead to more people knowing whether they have HIV, which could mean earlier treatment of the infection. People afraid or unwilling to take the test, particularly those without any symptoms, may more readily test themselves with a kit they can use privately.
"Knowing your status is critically important," Spair said. "We want to provide that opportunity to the broadest number of people possible."
But the documents also note concerns about someone learn-

ing they might have HIV when they are alone with no health professional or counselor nearby.
Terje Anderson, executive director of the National Association of People with AIDS, said he doubted they would be as popular as at-home pregnancy test kits, suggesting most people who want an HIV test would prefer to be with a doctor.
About 1 million people in the United States are believed to have HIV. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates nearly 300,000 people have the virus but don't know it.

Student confirmed dead
CRIME
Search ends in Mississippi
BY JAN DENNIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORMAL, ill. — A body found in a burned-out chicken coop in Mississippi has been identified as that of an Illinois college student who disappeared two weeks ago, authorities said Wednesday.
"As far as the cause of death, we believe she was already deceased when the body was dropped off in Newton County (Mississippi)." Newton County Sheriff Jackie Knight said. "We have investigators from Illinois here with us but we believe the actual death took place in Illinois."
Dental records were used to identify the remains of 21-year-old Illinois State University senior Olamide Adeyoyoe, authorities said.
Police did not disclose the cause of death.
Knight said he was not aware of any signs of sexual abuse.
A native of Nigeria who
moved to suburban Chicago when she was 8, Adeyooye was last seen Oct. 13 at a video store near her apartment in Normal. Her car, a green 1996 Toyota Corolla, still was missing.
Normal police Lt. Mark Kotte said authorities were still investigating how Adeyoye ended up in Mississippi. But he added: "It is not an incident of somebody going around preying on college students."
The body was found Friday as workers cleaned up a chicken coop in Lake, Miss., where firefighters had put out a blaze four days earlier. The coop is about 60 miles from Interstate 55, which passes through Normal.
Nearly 40 investigators, including FBI agents, took part in the search. Her family and friends posted filers and sent out messages through Web sites and blogs.
Police still had no suspects.
"We still have a list of persons of interest and that hasn't really changed. We still have quite a few people that we need to talk to, and also people now that we will be reinterviewing," Kotte said.

Tourists struggle to get out of Cancun
BY WILL WEISSERT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANCUN, Mexico — Thousands of desperate tourists stranded by Hurricane Wilma besieged airports and tour offices Wednesday as officials faced the challenge of evacuating 22,000 visitors with only 6,000 airline seats available out of Cancun.
While most of the flooding had receded and electricity
was slowly returning, frustrated tourists who had gone nearly a week without showering said they could relate to those who survived Hurricane Katrina.
"Now I know how those people in New Orleans felt," said Angela Benites, 48, of Mexico City. "Several days of desperation is no way to live."
As Cancun's half-million people struggled to clean up their flooded and wind-smashed homes and workplaces, crowds
of tourists surrounded airline offices. Some leapt and wept for iov when they could leave.
Benites was one of the few to be handed a coveted boarding pass at the Mexicana ticket office. "You feel as if your soul has returned to your body," she said after waiting in line since 4:30 a.m.
Still waiting was Beverly Gerg, 33, a university researcher from Canada's Prince Edward Island.
"I'm out of money, and if I can't get out today, I have nowhere to stay tonight," said Gerg, who went to the airport at 5 a.m. only to be sent back downtown to the Mexicana office for the boarding pass needed to even enter the airport premises.
"I don't understand why they don't get more flights going."
Officials set up makeshift airline counters at a high school where representatives worked to evacuate those left.

Philanthropic efforts to be congratulated
EDITORIAL
People who have never been in a fraternity or a sorority, or vaguely know someone who has, tend to highlight negative images of these people just for bad publicity.
Popular culture images from such movies as "Animal House" and "Old School" promote the stereotype that all greeks drink and spend money like crazy.
What people don't realize is that the greek life here at the University is more active than ever when it comes to philanthropic events.
In the past semester alone, members of the Panhellenic Association, the KU Interfraternity Council and the National Panhellenic Council have spent many hours raising money for their national and local philanthropies.
Recently, funds were raised for causes such as hurricane relief, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and The House that Greeks Built.
The Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity donated half of the money raised from parking fees collected in its parking lot during football games. Jason Ptaszek, Alpha Epsilon Pi member, said, "This past semester, since we have brothers from New Orleans, we donated (the money raised) to the Red Cross." Alpha Epsilon Pi also held a poker tournament to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Service to others is part of the core values of the sororities and fraternities ... the editorial board commends them for their constant, meaningful — and often unnoticed—
service.
The Zeta Phi Beta sorority also has plans for this semester. This month, the women of Zeta Phi Beta will visit the University of Kansas Medical Center to hand out candy to children in the pediatrics ward for Halloween, because they will not be able to go trick-or-treating.
If you have spent time in the hospital on a holiday, then you know this gesture means a great deal to the kids.
The Zeta women won't stop there, however.
In November, the women of Zeta Phi Beta start off the month by bringing awareness to diabetes. November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and events concerning Diabetes Awareness are in the works.
Zeta Phi Beta is also participating in a Bone Marrow Walk-A-Thon here at the University, on top of its annual Thanksgiving dinner for the women and children at First Step House, which is a transitional home for mothers who are recovering from drug and alcohol addictions.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity chapter completed more than 2,000 hours of community service last year.
The Crittenton Children's Center in Kansas City benefited from the helping hands of Sigma Phi Epsilon when it painted the entire gymnasium.
In the spring, Sigma Phi Epsilon will play host to an eight-state softball tournament. Proceeds will go toward its national philanthropy, YouthAIDS.
The Chi Omega sorority chapter at the University supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation for its annual philanthropy.
In September, the Chi Omega women raised funds to adopt a girl or boy with a life-threatening illness and make a wish come true.
There will also be an auction on Homecoming Day, two hours before the game, when the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association auction off more than $5,000 worth of items to benefit the House that Greeks Built. So

GUEST COMMENTARY
Abortion unalienable right
In the early 1800s, it was believed that aborted souls weren't baptized, and therefore would go to hell.
---
As a result, arguably, abortion was made illegal after the mother can feel the baby move in her womb and poisons were sold to women as a means of abortion before this period. In 1859, the anti-abortion laws of Connecticut led to almost every state outlawing abortion by the 1880s, and abortion remained illegal for nearly a century.
DAVID ARMSTRONG opinion@kansan.com
Despite the illegality of abortion, a birth control clinic was opened in the predominately Catholic town of Waterbury, Conn., in 1938 but was later closed because of political pressure from the conservative and religious sectors. Finally, in the 1940s and '50s, the general public started openly displaying mixed views on sex, abortion and birth control, and in 1961, a Planned Parenthood defied Connecticut state law and opened a clinic in New Haven. This led to the case of Griswald v. State of Connecticut, which overturned the birth control law 7-2, reasoning that denying birth control is a violation of a right to privacy.
By the 1960s, abortions were still illegal but were being performed nevertheless. It wasn't until 1973 that the landmark case of Roe v. Wade came about, which established that laws against abortion violated a right of privacy.
I, like the Supreme Court of the United States, agree that sex birth control and abortion are private actions..
It is a shame that religious propaganda and beliefs of supernatural phenomena prompt certain individuals to invade the privacy of other people. Like many controversial issues, religion seems to play a role in choosing which side to support. Intelligent design, same-sex marriage and abortion come to mind as issues that can have a religious complications.
If someone's prerogative is to dislike abortion, I have no problem with that. If people want to put bumper stickers on their cars that read, "IT'S A CHILD NOT A CHOICE," I have to argue that it is a choice. Everything is a choice, just like choosing to believe that "GOD IS PRO-LIFE," to quote another bumper sticker that I have seen.
Furthermore, outlawing abortion means taking backward steps in controlling the world's overwhelmingly quickly increasing population explosion that will surely lead to people wanting to outlaw birth control pills and other contraceptives. Roe v. Wade sets a model for the rest of the world — that outlawing abortion restricts privacy and interferes with women's rights.
I also have to point out that if our government chooses to overturn Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal, it will just endanger more lives, because people would not stop attempting to abort babies just because it has been made illegal by the conservative right.
I believe that the population of this world is reaching a maximum, and if a woman wants an abortion and not allowed one, there is a good chance that the child will not be offered a healthy, positive life.
If abortions suddenly ceased to exist, there would be a huge population increase, which would mean that even more people on this planet would suffer from malnutrition and inadequate healthcare, and some would suffer from being beaten and mistreated by their unloving parents.
If a woman is forced to have a baby that she doesn't want to care for, then yes, adoption is a possibility. Despite the fact that it may be difficult to adopt a healthy baby in this country, there are many more adoptees than there are adopters. I am pro-choice because I believe in privacy, women's rights, healthy families, population control and freedom.

Now there's another way for mourners to come together. facebook.com. Unwittingly, the creators of the popular college networking Web site have created a unique way to memorialize students who die — at least temporarily.
When someone dies, friends and family want to remember the person. They call each other, write e-mails and send letters. They laugh, cry and share stories. It's part of moving on.
When KU senior Nicole Bingham of Wichita died Oct. 7 in the fire at the Boardwalk Apartments, friends across the country immediately started writing on her 'wall.' the place on students' Facebook profile pages where users can post comments. Within days, the page turned into a living memorial for her.
On Oct. 12, which would have been Bingham's 22nd birthday, fellow Alpha-Delta Pi member Lindsey Gold, an Overland Park senior and University Daily Kansan photographer, posted an announcement for Bingham's memorial service on Bingham's wall. Gold then sent invitations to friends using the site's "party invitation" feature.
Coincidentally, several friends at other colleges who didn't know of Bingham's death visited her page that day to wish her happy birthday. They'd been reminded of her birthday by
Facebook's feature of posting birthday announcements on friends' profile pages.
When Braden Ackley, a childhood friend enrolled at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, clicked on Bingham's profile, she was shocked by the sad news. But she wrote a birthday message anyway, and on that day the postings on Bingham's wall changed from rest in peace messages to final birthday wishes.
"I think it really brought everybody together, because she had so many friends across the United States who aren't in Kansas and didn't know each other," said Ackley, a Crested Butte, Colo., native who saw Bingham during Bingham's trips to Colorado each summer.
Bingham isn't the first KU student to be memorialized on Facebook. When Lydon Wells, a Chesterfield, Mo., sophomore, died on May 20 of complications from surgery related to a long-term illness, his page also became a makeshift memorial, with comments ranging from a simple "R.I.P. Lyndy" to 100-word message.
About a week after he died, his profile disappeared. Friends still don't know why Facebook administrators deleted the page. His friend Mac Crawford, Topeka junior, started a Facebook group called "Bring Lyndy Back!" The profile didn't come back, but the group still has 41 members.
Crawford, still miffed about
the page's removal, said, "I don't know whether they needed a little more space for their broad-band width or more room for ads or what."
Chris Hughes, Facebook's spokesman, said it's the Web site's policy to remove the profiles of dead students when site administrators learn of their deaths.
"We simply cannot leave a deceased person's profile available to everyone in her or his school community." Hughes said. "There is no way to verify whether or not that person would have wanted his or her information to remain available posthumously, nor is there a way to regulate what is said about that person."
Before Wells' profile was taken down, another friend, University of Missouri student Tyler Kessler, copied it and pasted it onto a Web page he created, www.lyndy.tylkeresler.com, so Wells' profile would live on.
'Bingham's friend Gold, who was also friends with Wells, realized that Bingham's page wouldn't stay up forever. So she warned friends who'd grown attached to the memorial that one day it would vanish. She also printed a copy for Bingham's mother.
On Tuesday, Gold noticed that Bingham's profile was gone. She said she saw friends of hers and Bingham's on campus that day, but didn't have the heart to tell them.

The Big 12 Conference is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and like every large organization, it demands an award show.
Illustration by Rachel Seymore
After traveling to Boulder, Colo., last Saturday, I have finally watched a football or men's basketball game at every campus in the Big 12.
Ever since the old Big 8 merged with four teams from the Southwest Conference to create the Big 12, fans have seen everything from a national championship in football to a major NCAA scandal in men's basketball.
I've seen games from the stands as a fan, covered games from the press box as a member of the media and joined in on local night scenes as a college student. After seeing everything these Big 12 cities and colleges have to offer, here's where they rank.
ATM
1. Texas A&M
In an attempt to both honor the Big 12 and give readers something tangible, I have taken it upon myself to rank the best places to watch a game in the conference, excluding Kansas.
We could look back at these highlights and rank them, but anyone can look in a record book and find out which teams won what games. We college students need something we can use.
The school's fight song begins with the words, "Hullabalo, Caneck! Caneck!"

Rivalry continues to intensify
Match-up is personal for some players

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRIITE
Two sets of goal posts have gone down, a backup quarterback became a hero and a team's season was ruined. And that's just in the last three years of the Missouri-Kansas football rivalry.
It doesn't matter what the records are, the Missouri-Kansas game always seems to have significance.
This year, Kansas enters the Missouri game with fading bowl chances. It needs three victories in its final four games to qualify for a bowl game.
Some players have been involved in the rivalry for a long time, and some knew nothing about it before arriving at KU. But everyone on the team agrees that the atmosphere is a little different leading up to the Missouri game.
"The whole week, you're just more focused automatically," Rodney Fowler, senior safety, said. "It's crazy to see the energy a team can bring when it plays one of its bigger rivals."
The last two games between the rivals have gone to Kansas, with one victory coming at home and the other coming last season at Missouri. The overall series record stands at 53-51-9
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said the team's preparation would not change this week because Missouri was a rival, but he said that the team was aware of how important the game was.
in Kansas' favor and is the second-longest rivalry in college football, edged out only by the Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry.
Several players will be competing against friends and former teammates when the two teams meet this weekend. Kevin Kane, senior linebacker, is from
"It's a rivalry that goes all the way back to the Civil War, and we educate our players on that," Manguio said.
Kansas City, Mo., and he said he has been into the rivalry for as long as he could remember.
"I have buddies and old teammates that go to Mizzou," Kane said. "It's fun to play against them. It's a fun week for everybody involved."
One of Kane's former teammates is Missouri running back Tony Temple. Temple said he has family members who graduated from Kansas and normally root for the Jayhawks, but he said they would be rooting for the Tigers this weekend. He said the rivalry was something that he, too, has been into for a long time.

KU fans carry the goal post off the field to Potter Lake last season after the victory against Kansas State.

Death prompts caution
Fans urged to stay in stands after goal post kills student

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Tearing down the goal posts following an important football victory has become a Kansas tradition. That tradition, however, has been called into question after the death of a University of Minnesota-Morris student died
after being struck by a falling goal post last weekend.
Kansas Athletics Department officials are asking students to leave the goal posts intact after this weekend's homecoming game versus Missouri.
Although extra security will be at Saturday's game, department officials admit it will be difficult to stop 7,000 students from storming the field after a victory.
"Unless you turn the stadium into a police state, there is no way to prevent students who don't have any sense from coming onto the field," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
Marchiony said the department was urging students to remain in the stands after games, no matter how the football team plays.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Players make verbal commitments to KU
Women's basketball coach Bonnie Hendrickson has received verbal commitments from three players for the 2006 basketball season, according to the recruiting Web site scout.com. With the addition of these players, the Jayhawks have received six commitments for next year's team. Of the 12 players currently on the roster, nine will be eligible to return for the 2006 season.
LaChelda Jacobs is a guard who attends Mansfield Summit School in Arlington, Texas. Joining her from Texas will be forward Porscha Weddington, who attends Temple High School in Temple. The third commitment was received from Kelly Kohn, a guard at Adrian High School in Adrian, Mich.
THURSDAY. OCTOBER 27, 2005
Henrickson said at the team's media day that five recruits would make official visits during Late Night in the Phog, and she hoped to have the team's recruiting finished before the season began. If the Jayhawks were to field a 15-player team next year, it would be the largest team Henrickson has had while at Kansas. This year's team has 12 players, up from 10 last year. It would also be the second consecutive year that the Jayhawks brought in six newcomers.

Every chant in every game is choreographed with different hand signals informing the crowd of what's coming next. When 80,000-plus fans fill Kyle Field which is the largest stadium in the conference, you almost want to watch the fans do their thing instead of the football action.
Even the halftime show is a spectacle. The Aggie band puts on by far the best marching display in the country and often gets standing ovations at road games.
Some of the cheers take a while to get organized though, and the system doesn't work for basketball. It's also comical to watch the jumbotron feature two saws cutting the horns off a Texas Longhorn logo regardless of who the Aggies are playing.
Still, this place has the most unique traditions and most loyal fans in the Big 12. What other school could sell standing-room-only tickets to an NIT basketball game?
2. Texas
You know those hand signals that every major college in Texas has? Well, the Longhorns started that whole craze

"Horns."
Football is the main attraction here, and Darrel K. Memorial Stadium.
which can hold 85,000 burnt-orange clad fans, is one of the best places in the country to watch college football. The Longhorns have a huge band, cheerleaders at every part of the field and three mascots - a costumed Longhorn, an inflatable Longhorn and a live Longhorn named Bevo.
Men's basketball games, though, have much less atmosphere. Sure, if the Longhorns are fighting for a conference title late in the year, people show up. But Texas has been known to play host to tradition-rich teams such as Arizona early in the year and have trouble selling tickets.
Texas also loses points for some of its traditions. "The Eyes of Texas" is sung to the tune of "I've Been Working on the Railroad."
And the name Bevo was only created to cover up a Texas A&M prank. The Texas mascot was branded with the numbers 13-0, which signified a loss to Texas A&M. How Bevo came out of that you decide.
But whatever points Texas loses in those categories it makes up for with Sixth Street. With more than 60 bars in a sevenblock area, it is easily the best hangout in the Big 12 and was recently frequented by the cast of MTV's "The Real World."

Boone Pickens Stadium doesn't even hold 50.000 and Gallagher-Iba Arena had to be expanded to hold 13,000.
Oklahoma State makes use of the space its stadiums have. Cbs.sportline.com named Gallagher-Iba Arena the best collegiate basketball arena in the country, and men's basketball games have an electric feel to them.
Stillwater, Okla., also features Eskimo Joe's, which is the most famous bar in the Big 12. There isn't a person who has gone there and left without a T-shirt.
The football stadium is always sold out and has a great atmosphere.

Men's basketball games are a different story. The Bob Devaney Sports Center often has trouble attracting 5,000 fans and the stadium in general is sub par.

Oh yeah, and it's in a dry county so you can't sell liquor within the city limits.
But the Red Raiders make up for these deficiencies. The basketball stadium is brand new and the football stadium has just been renovated.
Before football games, tailgating is allowed near the stadium, and parties form in every direction. When Bob Knight was hired as men's basketball coach, fans started camping out for basketball games.
And to fix that silly no beer law, just across county lines is a string of enormous drive-through liquor stores that are lit up like Las Vegas. It's called "The Strip."

The campus is beautiful and Colorado is the only school in the conference with mountain accessibility. Pearl Street is also a pretty cool hangout. Imagine a mix of the Plaza and Massachusetts Street: college pub next door to The Cheesecake Factory.

It's expensive,but it's a dull place to

The football stadium can have a decent atmosphere, but if you're a visiting fan you need body armor to make it out alive.
The school's main chant of M-I-Z-Z-O-U is also the least imaginative cheer in the Big 12.

I've watched Baylor fans storm the court at the Ferrell Center and tear down the goal posts at Flovd Casey

Yes, those were two of the biggest celebrations in recent Baylor history, but the problem was there were only a handful of people doing the celebrating.
You could honestly read a book during sporting events here, and that's a shame because not only is Baylor the only Big 12 school that serves Dr Pepper, but it has some decent traditions.
The "Sic 'em Bears" ritual is pretty cool, but when the visiting fans drown out the cheer it loses its punch.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Young Jayhawks work out expected kinks
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Twelve practices into the 2005-06 basketball season, the Jayhawks are just about where Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self expected them to be.
"We're not close to being ready to play." Self said. "I don't think we're way behind, but we're not as far along as a veteran team would be."
Self said freshmen Julian Wright, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and Micah Downs have improved over the two weeks of practice, but none of them have played with much consistency.
"They're all coming," Self said. "It's not an everyday deal, but they have all improved quite a bit. I think
Wright
this last week all the freshmen were better than they were the first week."
Wright
Sophomore forward C.J. Giles said he was most impressed with Wright, who has been practicing
at the four position.
"All the freshmen are doing good, but the best is Julian," Giles said. "He is playing good in the post."
Rush said, of all his teammates, he liked the way Wright passed the ball the most because he made "fancy passes." He said he wished Chalmers made more passes like that.
"Mario doesn't make the fancy passes like some point guards do," Rush said. "Julian passes real fancy though."
Self chuckled when asked if he told his young point guard to shy away from "fancy passes."
"Right now we are just stressing taking care of the basketball," he said.
Rush also said Self had been jawing at Chalmers a little more than anyone else since practice started.
"Mario is just a laid back dude and sometimes he doesn't go hard." Rush said.
Chalmers said Self was after him to go hard all the time.
"Coach is kind of hard on me," Chalmers said. "He said in Alaska I turned my game off and on, but he wants me to bring it all the time now."
Self said one of the reasons he was on Chalmers more was because of the position he played.
"The first week I might have been on Mario the most, and not intentionally, but because I think that it was the most important position," Self said. "He has got to make good decisions. He is responsible for everything that is going on out there. It takes time to get them to understand that."
Chalmers and senior Jeff Hawkins have been working the most at the point guard position, while sophomore guard Russell Robinson, who played at the point last year, has been getting practice at shooting guard. Rush said he was playing at the three position, while Wright was practicing at the four position.
"It is real random," Giles said
of the lineups Self had been using at practice." Coach has been mixing it up. He can go real big, or he can go fast, but it has been mostly random."
All of the players were in good spirits yesterday as they warmed up with strength and conditioning coach Andrea Hudy before practice. Giles said he was already having more fun this year than he did last year.
"I feel a lot better than I did last year," Giles said. "It might be because I have been through the system already and I'm older and a lot more mature, but I am having fun."
Giles sported a bandage on his right shin Wednesday after suffering a bruise in practice. Giles said
Notes:
the bruise was minor.
After walk-on tryouts over the weekend, Self said he was still unsure if they were going to add a player, but he said it was doubtful.
"I don't think we are going to do anything." Self said. "As long as we are healthy, I like the numbers we are practicing with."
Self said he would keep a list of the best performers at the walkon tryouts as "on-call" players who could possibly come on if the health of the team changed.
Self attended the Tuesday night World Series game in Houston. He said it was the longest game he had ever been to.
Asked what he thought about the game, Self said: "I think the White Sox are in real good shape."

Junior cornerback Charles Gordon reaches to haul in a pass from senior quarterback Jason Swanson against Colorado in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday. Gordon, who took most of his snaps on offense, caught the pass for a 40-yard gain during the first half and had 85 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Multitasker welcomed back on offense
BY RYANI COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Is there a more fitting term for junior wide receiver/cornerback/punt returner Charles Gordon than 'Slash?'
Gordon has played all of those positions this season and been successful with each. He even completed a 24-yard pass to Marcus Herford against Kansas State in Manhattan.
After beginning his career at Kansas as a wide receiver, Gordon switched to cornerback last season, where he led the country in interceptions with seven.
Gordon's freshman campaign at wide receiver was impressive too. Gordon caught 57 balls for 769 yards. It appears that Gordon is returning to that wide receiver position on a full-time basis now. When the offense struggled at the beginning of the conference season, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino decided that Gordon would help the team more at wide receiver.
Gordon has produced since being moved back to his freshman position. Last week against Colorado, Gordon caught eight passes for 85 yards and a touchdown, his second of the season. It was his most impressive performance of the season at wide receiver. For the season, Gordon has 15 catches for 131 yards.
Gordon has impressed coaches and teammates with his ability to know the offense despite seeing few repetitions at wide receiver recently.
"Charles retains things very well," Mangino said. "There might be a route or two in practice that he needs some clarification on, but in the game against Colorado, I think he only had one mistake when running routes. I think that's pretty good for a guy who has just come over to the offensive side of the ball
for the majority of the time in the past couple weeks."
Gordon's performance at wide receiver last week helped the struggling offense accumulate more than 545 yards of total offense. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson said he was happy to have Gordon on offense rather than facing him in practice on defense.
"He knows our offense better than a lot of the guys who play offense," Swanson said. "It is definitely easier playing with him than it is against him."
Gordon is still seeing time at cornerback, usually in third-down situations, but he will mainly stick with offense. As a punt returner, Gordon has been consistent. Gordon is averaging 11.4 yards per return and is helping put the offense in position to score.
"He is dynamic. I don't know what is special about him, he makes plays," senior safety Rodney Fowler said. "He knows what to do on both sides of the
ball. Seeing our defense helps him out. He's a player."
Extra Points:
Mangino is using an interesting approach to simulate Missouri quarterback Brad Smith in practice this week. He is using both freshman quarterback Kerry Meier and senior wide wide receiver Greg Heaggans at the position. Meier simulates the throws of Smith while Heaggans has the speed of Smith the runner.
Defensive end John McCoy, who left the team before last season to serve in the U.S. Army in Iraq, has returned. Mangino said McCoy wanted to start taking classes again but still had responsibilities to the Army.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was happy with a lot of things his team did, despite suffering a lopsided 3-0 loss at Nebraska on Wednesday.
"I was extremely pleased with about 80 percent of the first two games," he said. "There were a lot of great exchanges out there."
But in the end, Kansas lost its sixth straight game and fell to 12-9 and 4-8 in Big 12 Conference play.
No. 1 Nebraska, however, continued its march toward a perfect season and improved to 20-0 overall and 10-0 in the Bie 12.
Though the Jayhawks did fight for most of the match, the Cornhuskers were in control from the start. They grabbed the first game 30-23, despite being held to a .159 attack percentage by the Jayhawks. Unfortunately for Kansas, it was only slightly more efficient, tallying a .163 mark. Nebraska held it at arm's length from the middle of the frame on and pulled away late for the seven-point victory.
Game two was competitive early. The Jayhawks went toe-to-toe with the Cornhuskers, and the two teams were tied at 13. From there, Nebraska scored seven of the game's next 10 points to take a commanding 20-16 lead. It tapped that run with six straight to push its lead to 26-17 en route to a 30-20 win. Kansas had 11 hitting errors and a meager -023 attack percentage, while Nebraska got back on track by hitting .419 with 16 kills.
The Cornhuskers closed out the match with a rout in the final game. They scored the first five points and didn't let the Jayhawks get any closer. They ran their lead to 11 points at 16-5, which proved to be plenty of separation to coast to a 30-19 triumph. The Cornhuskers had another efficient game, hitting .319, while the Jayhawks were a lackluster .027.
Beachard said he wished the Jayhawks could have gotten a game in
the latter stages with a chance to steal a victory, but he understood that they were facing augernaut.
"They're not No.1 in the country for nothing." Bechard said. "They wear you down over the course of the match."
Kansas was led by sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown, who tallied 11 kills and eight digs in the match. Senior outside hitter Paula Caten added nine kills and seven blocks of her own. Nebraska outblocked Kansas 15-3. Sophomore opposite hitter Sarah Paven led all players with 12 kills, and she contributed eight digs as well.
The Jayhawks' serving woes continued inside the NU Coliseum. They finished the match with 11 errors and only two aces.
"We'll go right back into the gym and work on it again," Bechard said. "We'll see what we can come up with."
Kansas will look to end its skid on Saturday night when it plays host to Texas at the Horejsi Center. The Longhorns defeated the Jayhawks 3-2 in the last meeting between the two clubs on Sept. 21 in Austin, Texas.

Underachievers score victory

INTRAMURALS
The Underachievers moved on to the next round of the men's intramural soccer playoffs after a 1-0 victory over the Jimmy Hats on Tuesday.
The game was dominated by great defensive play from both teams.
The goalkeepers kept the game close. Alex Cohen, Mountain Brook, Ala., sophomore, was the goalkeeper for the Jimmy Hats, while Mike Fischer, Chicago senior was the goalkeeper for the Underachievers.
started out with a save by Fischer when Adam Evans, King Wood, Texas, junior, attempted to score a goal.
The first half of the game
This was followed by the Underachievers' Joey Brown, Kansas City, Kan., junior, having his shot blocked.
The Underachievers' Mason Pech, Overland Park senior, tried many times to get his shots converted into goals, but they were continually blocked by Cohen.
The first half ended with strong play by the Underachievers' Adam Tilsner, Edina, Minn., senior, and Kyle Costanza, Leawood junior, but neither could come up with any goals.
The second half continued the same as the first, with more blocked shots.
There were two more missed goal shots. One came from the Underachievers' Aaron Kuddes, Leawood senior, while the other one was from the Jimmy Hats' Chris Bystrom, Ames, Iowa, junior.
The Jimmy Hats' Zach Hayes, Lenexa junior, had his shot blocked by Fischer shortly into the second half.
The winning goal came off of a penalty kick by the Underachievers' Jon Grossman, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student.

Rivalry
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
"Thirty-five kids from my high school went to Mizzou and 35 went to KU," Temple said. "It's fun for the fans to get into it and we just try to go out and play hard and have a good game with Kansas."
Kansas will once again receive
a pregame talk from former head coach Don Fambrough. Fambrough has repeatedly declared his hatred for Missouri and will help get the team fired up before the game.
Fowler, who was new to the rivalry when he arrived at Kansas, said the team went crazy when Fambrough talked. Even though his talk to the team is
short, Fambrough gets his point across. Fowler said.
Adding to this year's game is the fact that this is homecoming weekend for the Jayhawks. Kickoff is scheduled for noon on Saturday, and Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the game was approaching a sellout.
-- Edited by Anne Burgard
Caution
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
He said the only way to prevent injuries to fans or players was, for students to remain in the stands.
In an effort to prevent students from tearing down the goal posts, West Virginia and other schools have sprayed their students with pepper spray.
Marchionch said using pepper spray would put the University in a lose-lose situation.
He said the University would either be criticized for allowing fan violence or using pepper spray against its own students.
Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino said fans on the field presented a danger for both teams.
"We enjoy great fan support here at KU, but I prefer that the fans stay in the stands after the game," Mangino said.
"It's a dangerous environment. Anything is possible."
Last weekend's death was not the first injury caused by fans tearing down the goal posts at college football games.
In 2001, a Ball State University student was paralyzed after being struck in the back by a goal post after his team's victory over Toledo.
Two students were severely injured and several others suffered minor injuries after Toledo's victory over ninth-ranked
Pittsburgh in 2001
Students can be involved in the game without entering the playing field, Marchiony said.
"No one is trying to quiet down the student section," Marchiony said.
"You don't have to abuse the opposing team's fans in order to be an effective 12th man."
Marchiony said the department would like the tradition to end, but he said it was up to the students to stop one another from rushing the field.
He encouraged students to step forward and make Kansas an example of a school where students celebrate responsibly.

'Hawks aim to prove ranking
Tourney berth goal of race
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
amendoza@kansan.com
KANNSAN SPORTWRITER
The No. 13-ranked Jayhawks will strive to show they've earned their ranking when they race for the Big 12 Championship title tomorrow in Waco, Texas.
Last season Benson Chesang won the men's singles Big 12 Championship with a time of 24:07.
Second place went to Brent Vaughn of Colorado, who had a time of 24:08. Both Chesang and Vaughn are returning juniors.
"Everybody now is looking at me and obviously some people will be scared of me," Chesang said.

Chesang
"It's always bittersweet, man." Chesang said. "I know I am racing against my brother. I used to try to pull him to run with me together. I didn't think it felt that different, but it's definitely nice and good running."
Last season Kansas took fourth overall behind Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma State. Colorado has won the tournament for six consecutive seasons. Colorado, Texas and Oka-
homa are all ranked this season:
Colorado at third, Texas only one
spot ahead of Kansas at 12th and
Oklahoma State at 25th.
"I think our whole team has a target, and our goal is to go in and do our best," cross country coach Stanley Redwine said. "We're taking it as a team effort, if we win as a team we win as a team, if we lose we lose as a team."
The men's 8K race is set to start at 10 a.m. and the women's 6K race is set to start at 11 a.m.
Last season the women's team finished 10th overall.
All schools in the Big 12 will be running for the title of Big 12 Champion.
"As a team we're real excited to go into conference and show what we're capable of doing," sophomore Colby Wissel said. "We feel like we are going to have a great race down there. We're excited to get down there and get going."
Kansas can have an automatic National Championship berth by winning on Friday. The winner of the conference meet will automatically be qualified.
Chesang, an Eldama Ravine, Kenya, native said he was originally planning to attend Kansas State and to be on the cross country team there with his older brother Mathew, who finished third last season with a time of 24:12 but will not race this season because he has used all his eligibility.

Thursday, Oct. 27, 2005: You have an element of creativity, magnetism and luck that makes you a sure winner. You might be surprised that spontaneity plays a big role in your life. If you follow your sixth sense, knowing what your goal is, you will get just that. Your friendships will increase, and as a result, so will your opportunities. Where you funnel your innate ingenuity proves to be a special area of success. If you are single, romance could be very exciting, though not necessarily stable.

Add more spontaneity. VIRGO helps you hit a home run.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ Sometimes the road less traveled is the only way to go. You might get some jarring insights as you head down this path. The growth and understanding you gain will be enormous. Don't give up. Tonight: When you tumble or fall, it means it is time to slow down.
**** If you think about it, often it's your expectations that cause you a problem. Work on realism and be gracious about what you are given. A surprise could knock on your door when you least expect it. Tonight: Let your imagination run wild.
GEMINI (Mav 21-June 20)
★★★ Your efforts might be way beyond the call of duty, but you still might get a bit of a jolt. What you need to know is that you are doing your best, even if someone might not agree or might have a very different idea. Tonight: Do some fall shopping.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★★★ Look beyond the obvious when someone passes you news.
Chat, listen and respond. Still, you might want to verify facts. In any case, unusual news heads in your direction. You need to open your mind. Tonight: Breeze around.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

More information comes forward when you least expect it. Tonight: Your treat.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★ The Moon plunges you into the limelight. You might have unusual magnetism and luck, but still a partner might act up. You are learning quickly that you can control no one but yourself. You can always say no to plans. Tonight: What makes you happy?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★ Be an information-gatherer, though you might want to say little and lie very low. Not everyone thinks as you do. You don't need to tell everyone what you are thinking; in fact, maintain your silence. Adjust your work patterns. Tonight: Time for yourself.
***** You really have a lot going for you. Whatever you are in a meeting with a special person, events seem to happen in a way that pleases you. A person who enters your life today could add excitement. Tonight: Where you most want to be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

AOUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)
**AQUARIOS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)**

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★ Once more, your unpredictability causes waves. You could think your behavior is natural. To others, it could be unnerving. Be more sensitive to those around you You are not the main player right now. Tonight: Say yes.

WORLD SERIES
Sox break 88-year-old streak
BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — The Chicago White Sox are World Series champions again at last, and yet another epic streak of futility is not just wiped away but swept away.
After seven scoreless innings, Jermaine Dye singled home the only run in the eighth, and the White Sox beat the Houston Astros 1-0 Wednesday night to win their first title in 88 years.
Just a year ago, the same story line captivated baseball when the long-suffering Boston Red Sox swept the St. Louis Cardinals to capture their first title in 86 years.
Who's next, the Chicago Cubs, without a championship since 1908?
It was the third title for the White Sox, following victories in 1906 and 1917. And it was the first since "Sheoeless" Joe Jackson and the "Black Sox" threw the 1919 Series against Cincinnati.
In the Windy City, where the Cubs have long been king, Chicago's South Side team for once trumped its North Side rival, no small feat for the Sox.
Owner Jerry Reinsdorf once said he'd trade all six of the Chicago Bulls' NBA titles for a single Series ring, a statement he now regrets. No swap is needed now: He's got the prize he dreamed of since he was a kid growing up in Brooklyn.
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said during the regular season that he might retire if his team went on to win the Series, and now he'll have to reveal that decision.
Chicago's sweep, its eight straight postseason win, made it only the second team to go through the postseason 11-1 since the extra round of playoffs was added in 1995, joining the 1999 Yankees. But the White Sox fans didn't get to enjoy a single celebration in person: the division title and all three rounds of the postseason were won on the road.
in 1962, became the first team swept in its Series debut.
On a night when pitching dominated, winner Freddy Garcia and Houston's Brandon Backe pitched shutout ball for seven innings, with Backe allowing four hits and García five. Theev all struck out seven.
Brad Lidge, Houston's closer,
came in to start the eighth,
and Chicago sent up Willie Harris to
bat for Garcia.
Harris lined a single to left leading off, and that led to Houston's downfall. Scott Podsednik bunted a difficult high pitch in front of the plate, and the speedy Harris took second on the sacrifice. Carl Everett pinch hit for Tadahito Iguchi and grounded to second, moving Harris to third.
Dye, the Series MVP, swung and missed Lidge's next pitch, took a ball, then grounded a single up the middle, clapping his hands as he left the plate. Harris trotted home from third, and the White Sox celebrated in the third-base dugout.
But it wasn't quite over yet.
Cliff Polite relieved to start the bottom half and hit Willy Taveras on the hand with one out. Polite bounced a wild pitch on his first offering to Lance Berkman, moving Taveras to second, then intentionally walked Berkman, nearly throwing away the next pitch.
Morgan Ensberg flied to right-center, dropping him to 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position in the Series, and Chicago brought in left-hander Neal Cotts to face pinch-hitter Jose Vizcaino, who hit a broken-bat grounder to shortstop.
Juan Uribe charged in, backhanded the ball by the grass and threw hard to first, beating Vizcaino by half a step.
After Chicago wasted a lead-off double by A.J. Pierzynski in the ninth, Jason Lane lofted a 3-2 pitch off Bobby Jenks into short center for a single leading off the bottom half.
Houston was 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position on the night and 10-for-48 .(208) in the Series, and Lidge fell to 0-2 in the Series and 0-3 in the postseason.

drive me crazy
Editor's note
I guess the cat took to it at first, probably out of curiosity. But it wasn't long before Xena started finding alternatives
No sooner had my brother brought the little, black, furball kitten home, did my family get attached to her. And when my mom came home one day from Wal-mart with a clear sphere-shaped piece of plastic and proceeded to insert it between the seat and the rim of the toilet in the guest bathroom, I wasn't too surprised. It was weird I admit, but not out of character for mom. Then she sprinkled cat litter over the plastic, so that Xena would be attracted to the toilet, she explained.
to the toilet, like a big potted house plant in the dining room and a large tin can of bird seed sitting near the back door. Needless to say, Xena's not a toilet-trained feline.
But don't give up hope, check out James Foley's article (page 20), where he narrates a success story of a couple of college students who toilet-trained their cat. He'll also tell you where to get the supplies and how to do it. It really is possible to toilet-train a cat. And when your cat has mastered that, I guess all that's left is training it to flush.

Q AND A
with Thrice
By Chris Brower, Jayplay reviewer
Thrice and its heavy-rock sound has been making a name for itself during the past few years. The band is currently on the road promoting its incredible new album, Vheisu. Guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and all around good guy, Tepei Teranishi sat down to talk about the new album and connect the dots that led the group to this point.
Q. Vheissu is a big change from The Artist In The Ambulance. When you were writing these songs, what were you trying to do differently?
A. It was not a conscious decision. We've never been big into "screamo" or "emo" or "hardcore" or whatever it's called and we don't like being pigeon-holed as that. This album is more or less our tastes making a way into our music.
Q. What were you hoping to achieve with this album that you didn't with The Artist In The Ambulance?
A. We really rushed that record. With that one, we gave ourselves three months to write it and then we had a tour planned after it. On Vheissu, we gave ourselves time to write. We wrote for nine months.
Q. What is your favorite song to play off the new album?
A. Oh, that's a tough one. It'll probably change, but for now it's "The Earth Will Shake." It's just really fun.
Q. What is a typical day on tour like for you guys?
A. Nothing too exciting. Wake up, sound check, hang around, eat, play, eat again.
Q. What is it like touring with Kansas City's own Veda?
A. They're awesome. We've known them for a year now, because we have the same manager. We weren't sure how well our audience would react to them since they sound so much different from the other bands on this tour. They really stick out, but they've been going over very well.
Q. Two years ago, you played El Torreon and now you just sold out the Beaumont. What do you think helped you guys reach this point?
A. I think it was just a natural progression. Our fan base has been steadily growing over the last few years. Our last album broadened our fan base. Also, music video channels like Fuse have been playing our videos.
Q. Do you have any pre-show routines/rituals you like to do?
A. (Laughs) Not much, just stretch and warm up my voice.

Lawrence celebrates
the third annual
Red Balloon To-Do
art show
balloon affair
By Rory Flynn, Jayplay writer
Laughter filled the brisk autumn air our Saturday afternoon this October in Lawrence. Crowds of all ages filed in and out of art galleries, coffee shops and private residences as people walked with more than 1,000 bright red, bouncing balloons creating a sea of gravity defying wonder. Hiply dressed art connoisseurs walked side-by-side greasy overall-sporting farm boys as wrinkly elderly walked alongside young gigging children. And, of course, hundreds of students hooted it through downtown Lawrence toting Red Balloons. Walking down Massachusetts Street the particular Saturday, one might have felt like part of a children's one or circus carnival. The event, rather, was the third annual Red Balloon To-Do an fall.
The Red Balloon To-Do is an event that allows local artists to display their works as a part of a community gathering. In 2003, the first year of the Red Balloon To-Do, the event had approximately 80 art submissions. This year the artists doubled with more than 160 art submissions and more than 1,000 attendees, according to Jill Kleinhans, organizer of this year's Red Balloon To-Do.
The event was first organized in 2003 by a group of artists who called themselves the Lawrence Art Collective. The group was originally affiliated with the formal art gallery.
"All we needed was a hook," says Dominic Sova, organizer of the First Red Balloon To-Do. "I see it as being alive and I feel like we gave it birth." Sova, a graduate in painting, says the group didn't plan to have the event start the first year. But he says the community allows the art fan to continue annually because people love the event so much.
The Olive Gallery, 15 E. 8th Street, was instrumental in planning this year's The Red Balloon ToDo. Jill Kleinhans, Olive Gallery owner, says the event raised enough money this year to be held again next year. She says the success surpasses the past two years and that she plans to make the event larger in the following years, with the help of more volunteers.
The businesses that displayed the artists' works were Crafty and Company, Henry's, Olive Gallery and Mirth Internet Café. Many of the businesses and artists provided food and drinks for the event's participants. Rick Seifert, owner and head chef at Mirth Internet Café says using his restaurant as a venue for the event was a no-brainer. "I am all about supporting local artists," he says. "And not to mention that having a couple hundred people walk through my new business is nice as well."
"Anything is possible. The spirit of the event is that it is always changing. We want to keep it fresh each year," he says.
Sova says the plans for the next Red BalloonTo-Do are uncertain.
In addition to visual art, local band Anafera performed at the Olive Gallery. It was the second year that the trio played in the Red Balloon To-Do. Keyboardist Dave Brown says it's a great walk through my art.
way to perform in an atmosphere where people appreciate the artwork and their brand is not necessarily the focus of the project.
Connor Moore, senior in photography, submitted a photograph he took while studying abroad in Berlin. He says he enjoyed having so many people see his work "The Red Balloon To-Do is something that is unique to Lawrence. It is cool to see so many people taking interest in each others artwork" Moore says.
Kleinhans says that it never too early to begin thinking about their submissions for next year's Red Balloon To-Do and she expects the event to continue to grow in size and popularity. She says everyone who submits a piece is guaranteed to have their work displayed in the art show and no artist may have more than four of his or her works.
If you're interested in submitting artwork for next year's Red Balloon To-Do, contact the Olive Gallery. Call 785-331-4114

QA AND
with The Veronicas By Lindsey Ramsey, Jayplay writer
venue
Specializing in pop-punk harmonies with a hard edge, 20-year-old identical twins, Jess and Lisa Origliasso hail from Brisbane Australia and are ready to take over the U.S. Since the age of 5, the girls have loved music. And they say when they were 12, they saw Michael Jackson perform and knew that music was what they had to do. Their debut album, The Secret Life of The Veronicas, is a culmination of 15 years of performing. It's a cross between Avril Lavine, Ashlee Simpson and Kelly Clarkson but with a more worldly flair. Here, The Veronicas talk touring, fashion and Crocodile Dundee.
Q: What three words describe your music?
A: Jess: Energetic, meaningful and emotive
Lisa: Fun, eddy and rock
NALIA ALBUYA
Jess: Friend, because you're never too old or too young to rock the 80s
Q: Who are your influences (musically, fashion-wise)?
A: Jess; Musically, Michael Jackson, Skyhooks, The Used and The Vines. Fashionwise, Gwen Stefani and Keira Knightly.
Lisa: For fashion, the Olsen Twins and Sienna Miller. For music, ACDC, Michael Jackson and The Muse
Q: Legwarmers: friend or foe?
Lisa: Friend, a funky pair can make your outfit. Plus they keep your legs warm.
Q: What do you hate about performing live?
Jess: Bad audio.
Lisa: Same.
Q: What was a time you felt like a complete fool on stage?
Jess: I went on with my costume on backwards once.
Lisa: I fell over once and I have forgotten words a few times.
Q: What was a time when you felt like a real rock star?
Lise: We played with Jessie McCartney at Boston Hatch Shell show in front of 35,000 kids
Q: What was a time where you absolutely did not feel like a rock star?
Jess: NRL (National Rugby League) final. We performed at the opening of the show, in front of 80,000 people in the stadium and 3 million people on TV. It was the equivalent of the Superbowl!
Lisa: Getting off a long flight in our pajamas and Ugg boots and people recognizing us.
Jess: I broke my foot while just before embarking on a two-month national radio promotional tour.
Q: What is the most annoying thing your sister does?
Jess: Steals my clothes and make-up
Lisa: Steals my make-up and my clothes
Jess: Love him.
Q: What are your feelings on Crocodile Dundee?
Lisa: He's our answer to David Hasselhoff.
Q: Air guitar or air violin?
Jess: Air violin
Lisa: Who does air violin? What the beep are you talking about Jess?
Q: Who is Veronica?
Jess: Me
Lisa: Me. Are you?
Q: If you two found the yellow brick road, what you want to find at the other end?
Lisa: Food and a hed.
Lisa: Food and a bed.
Jess: Food and Johnny Depp.
Q: Are you two the wonders from down under?
Jess: I think Tim Tams (an Australian chocolate biscuit) and beer could be the wonders from down under.
Lisa: Yes.

The Hawk 1340 Ohio St.
Deny it all you want, but the Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., is Lawrence's pre-eminent college bar. Established in 1919, the bar has been getting KU undergrads loaded (and laid) ever since Woodrow Wilson was in office. "The Hawk is my homeboy," says Kelly Meisi, Chicago sophomore, and with good reason: the bar, an alcohol-soaked ziggurat that's packed with patrons every weekend (weekends start on Thursday),
boasts five separate areas in which to mingle, including the raucous Boom Boom Room and the more refined Martini Room. You think The Hawk is only for those on Fraternity Row? Think again. "You have the Greeks and you have the non-Greeks," says Brittani Johnson, Denver sophomore, of the bar's oft-ignored diversity. "You're insured to have a good time."

am a virgin. That's right, I said it. I have never had sex. I am not saving my virginity necessarily because of any certain belief or anything like that. Sex is just not on the top of my list of things to do. I have thought about sex before. It's hard not to when sexual references and images surround me in pretty much everything that I do. Sex is in the commercials, television shows, movies and music I hear and see every day. To be quite honest, I find the prospect of having sex quite daunting. Yeah, that may be the goody-two-shoes in me talking, but man, there are so many things you have to worry about. I mean, at least for the first time right? Do you have to know all the positions? You have to think about how you smell. You have to know whether or not you're any good at sex. You have to worry if your breath stinks. You have to worry if sex is going to hurt. You have to make sure your partner isn't taking advantage of you. You have to know the right place to put things.
I'm not the only person on campus who hasn't had sex, but because sex is so prominent in our society, people assume everyone is doing it. Studies show that plenty of kids are having sex. In one study done by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2003, almost 62 percent of seniors in high school had already had sex. Of the female seniors, more than 62 percent of them had had sex compared with about 61 percent of males. That means that by the time high school kids enter college less than half of them will not have had sex. The amount of people having sex increases as high school kids enter college. In another study done by the Center For Disease Control in 1995, almost 80 percent of college students ages 18 to 74 have had sex. That means that one in nine college students have not had sex. For whatever reason, religious otherwise, there are virgins on
virgin I've done...
hes losing your virginity
carries the times have
changed, so has the definition ginity. Mike Hardcastle, youth counselor, says that the loss of virginity originally was thought of as having sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex. Virginity was also thought of as something that was saved for the wedding night. Unfortunately with that definition, he says that a lot of people get left out of the loop. You can get away with having different types of sex and still call yourself a virgin. According to that definition, someone who is homosexual would never lose their virginity. People who performed oral sex on a regular basis would still be virgins as well. Penetration would be the only way to officially not be a virgin. Hardcastle says he believes that the definition of virginity needs an update. He defines the loss of virginity to be an intimate sexual act involving nudity and stimulation with the point of orgasm. It doesn't matter if you are heterosexual or homosexual, if you share your body with another person in an intimate way for both of you, you are no longer a virgin. Virginity is not something that you lose or something that gets taken. When you give yourself to another person, Hardcastle says that that is when virginity is gone. If you don't completely give it, it is not completely gone. For some homosexuals, an updated definition of virginity has already been implemented. Some people might think that homosexuals are virgins because they have never had heterosexual sex. But whether or not virginity is lost depends on the person. For Lawrence freshman Lauren Bornstein, her virginity is something that she wants to give to someone she cares deeply for. She views losing her virginity as involving a sexual act that both people in the relationship consider to be sex. Bornstein says that loving the same gender is no different than loving the opposite. If you care for someone, you care for someone. It doesn't matter whether or not the ones involved are of the same sex.
God and the doc
The decision on what constitutes
a sexual act differs between couples. For some people, losing their virginity can occur in oral sex. For others, it could be the act of penetration that allows them to lose their virginity. Jennifer McGinnis, Mound City senior, says she believes that when it comes to homosexuality, losing ones virginity depends on whom you talk to. There is a bit more of a gray area in homosexuality because it is subjective. McGinnis says that she considers sex as anything that can cause orgasm. For a lesbian to lose her virginity, McGinnis believes this happens the first time another girl ventures below the waistline. Lesbians do not have to have penetration in order to have sex. "I'm gay for a reason," she says. "I like girls. Penis not needed, nor wanted."
Come on, everybody's doing it
Some people stay virgins because they choose to. Figuring out when they want to give your virginity to someone else is based on a lot of factors. For some virgins, that decision to stay a virgin is based on religious reasons. Matt Lehrman, program director at Hillel, says that in Judaism, sexual intercourse between a husband and wife is a holy act. Sex is used to strengthen the bonds of marriage. For people of Jewish faith, Lehrman says that creating a family is one of the most important aspects of marriage. Obviously, sex plays a huge role in making a family, so making sure that the sex remains a holy act is key in raising a good family. As for premarital sex, Lehrman says that for some groups of Jews, it is strictly prohibited, but for other groups it is not. Christianity has a similar view on premarital sex. Paul Zimdars-Swartz, instructor of religious studies, says that for most traditionally-minded Christians, virginity is very highly valued. One of the major beliefs of why virginity is special to Christians, Zimdars-Swartz says, is because there is a lot of evidence that Jesus himself was celibate. St. Paul is also thought to have been a virgin and he believed that being abstinent and remaining unmarried was the best way to dedicate yourself to God. Some of these views still hold true today for conservative Christians. But similarly to Judaism, there are Christians that have premarital sex. Religion however, is not the only factor involved in the decision to stay a virgin. For Matt Lovelady, Bentonville, Ark. junior, his decision to stay a virgin is largely based on the fact that he has not met the right person to take that step with. Though he has not had sex, he says he thinks about it just like most college males. Lovelady has made the conscious choice to keep his virginity until he finds someone special. By already making up his mind that he is going to wait, he says that this allows him to have self-control in situations that may lead to sex. Virginity is special for Lovelady and he is looking for a girl who feels the same way. If they both decide that they are the right person for each other, they can share something special and learn together. It's hard being a virgin in a sexual society no matter who you are, but Lovelady says that males have a tougher time admitting that they are virgins because guys are all about quantity and not quality. In his experience, guys would rather talk about how many girls they can bag in one night. So sometimes it's hard for him to say that he has have never even gotten one. Some of Lovelady's friends do tease him about being a virgin, but he doesn't let it bother him. If he does have sex by the time he graduates from college or if he makes it through without getting laid, he doesn't care. He says he is able to withstand the pressures from his friends because he knows which decision is right for him.
Virgin good, virgin bad
For most people, the choice of being a virgin is their own decision. But for some people, there are medical problems that make that choice for people. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder is classified as the lack of sexual fantasies and desire to have sex. This decrease can often occur after a period of stress. People who have Sexual Aversion Disorder can
Continued on page 14

Continued from page 13
have an intense feeling of aversion towards seeing genitalia or being touched. There is usually anxiety, fear or disgust when the opportunity to be sexual arises. Touching and kissing might even be avoided. For individuals suffering from Dyspareunia, sex can be painful. It is more prevalent in women, but it can happen in both sexes. The pain accompanied with sex can happen at any time during intercourse and it generally occurs around the pelvic region. If this pain continues over time, the person will have very little desire for any kind of sexual activity. Another disorder, Vaginismus, strictly affects women. It also involves pain that is so excruciating, that it is too painful for a woman to have sex. Her muscles contract not allowing for penetration.
It's your body, you decide
No matter if the decision to stay a virgin is a personal choice or a medical reason, it's tough to go against the pressures of our culture. The decision to stay a virgin can be harder to make with the sexual references and images that surround us. Cynthia Akagi, assistant professor of Health and Education, says that sex is too prominent in our society. She believes that sex plays an important and beneficial role in society, but by putting sex everywhere, we aren't allowing kids to be kids. Akagi says she is all for a well-done sex scene in
a movie, but she says that some of the sexual content is too inappropriate and ultimately, it is an adult activity.
Sometimes pressuring your partner into having sex can have long-term negative effects on a relationship. First, you have to find out why your partner wants to be a virgin. After that, Jane Greer, Ph.D, says you can figure out whether or not there is a possibility for compromise, such as oral sex. You have to understand where the other person is coming from before you can find a solution that works. Pressuring your partner to have sex is not the way to go. The traditional thought of waiting until your wedding night has also become hard to stick to with the added pressures from society to have sex. For some homosexuals, waiting for their wedding night would be nearly impossible. For Kyle Gray, Rantoul sophomore, waiting to lose his virginity until marriage won't work for him and his boyfriend. Gray has no clue when marriage will even be legal for homosexuals, so sharing himself with someone he loves is ok. Being a virgin is solely an individual decision for Akagi and he says that you have to stick to your guns for whatever decision you end up making.
Sometimes it's hard to see the positives of abstaining from sex because it's everywhere. But Akagi believes there are benefits to being a virgin. There are the obvious reasons of unwanted pregnancy and contraction of an STD
come if the lines of communication are open. You can turn sex from something uncomfortable to something extremely pleasurable for both people. Greer says that having a "sex class" with your partner can ease the worries of an inexperienced partner too. Touching, talking, using toys and actually trying all of it out can help the partner figure how to please the other person. After the inexperienced partner feels confident, both people will relax and can learn together.
or AIDS from intercourse. But by not throwing sex into the relationship, you get to see if you can actually stand each other out of the bed before you initiate physical contact. Akagi says that you are able to connect on another level before you even worry about how things will work out physically. By not having sex, Lovelady said he will have a respect from his partner and he will respect her. They will care enough about the other person's wishes and when the time is right, they will be able to learn together. By making sex a special act, Lovelady says that it will mean more when he actually does it. Sex won't just be about how many times he's done it. But there are some drawbacks to being a virgin. Akagi believes that sex is good for people and that if it is dealt with properly, sexual intimacy is a great part of life. It can actually help to nurture the relationship. Sex can be a great addition to a relationship, but Akagi says that it can become unhealthy when both partners aren't on the same page. Another part of the problem with waiting to have sex is the "40-year-old virgin" syndrome. You might be worried that because you've waited so long, potential partners will be a lot more experienced than you are. Even more, you will be so far behind that there really isn't any reason to try anymore. There is also the worry of humiliation at the prospect of revealing to your partner you're a virgin. Sexual inexperience, Greer said, can be over-
Whether you're heterosexual or homosexual, religious or not, virginity will play some role in your life. And making the decision to have sex is not as simple as deciding what to wear to school the next day. There are emotions involved that have to be taken into consideration. There are risks involved as a result of finally making that decision and you have to figure out if all of these risks are worth the reward. If thought about carefully with the best intentions for both (or all) people involved, sex can be a great addition to your life. But, if you decide not to have sex, that's OK too.

erver of the week:
Ashley Meyer
941 Massachusetts St.
Ashley Meyer, St. Louis senior, can't imagine working anywhere else but in a restaurant.
Pet Peeves: Meyer says patrons who don't tip or whiny patrons are part of the down-side of serving.
Favorite Menu Item: Spinach artichoke dip
"I just always liked the atmosphere," she says. Meyer has been working in the restaurant business for six years and serving for the past four. She's been working at Mass Street Deli, 941 Massachusetts St., for about seven months.
"Sometimes when we're really busy, customers get impatient and don't understand that we can't be everywhere at once," she says.
M. L. MARIE
What she loves about it: Meyer is never bored. She appreciates that the job keeps her busy and she also enjoys interacting with people.
Career Aspirations: Although Meyer loves the restaurant business, she is looking forward to a career where her people-skills are needed. Meyer is majoring in elementary education, but hopes to eventually be a middle school guidance counselor.

As a child you carved them, and perhaps as a teenager you smashed them on Halloween night. But now that you're an adult, author Dee Dee Stovel presents a challenge - cooking with them.

Yep. We're talking about pumpkins. But Stovel makes it clear she's not talking about pie in Pumpkins: A Super Food for All 12 Months of the Year.

s skills
men-

be initially
beir.
Instead, she touts pumpkin as a year-round delicacy, capable of blending deliciously into most of your favorite dishes. From pumpkin pizza with gorgonzola cheese, to pumpkin smoothies, Stovel compiled 125 recipes in an effort to prove her case.
Snyder
"It just blends so well with many foods and lots of different spices and herbs," she says. "I've been adding it to practically anything. In cuisines other than American, it tends to be a savory thing. I don't think we think of it so much in a salad, an appetizer, a stew."
In the U.S., pumpkin is traditionally thought of in terms of Thanksgiving pies and Redi-Whip. Stovel says she soon realized most people had misconceptions and reservations at the thought of cooking with fresh pumpkin.
First off, the author says you really shouldn't cook with the pumpkins you carve. Their large size lends to a stringier pulp and a less-desirable taste. Stovet says she prefers cooking with small Sugar Pie pumpkins because of their smooth texture and sweet taste.
To cook a Sugar Pie pumpkin, Stovel says to poke holes in the shell with a knife (much like if you were cooking a baked potato), making sure your fork gets through the shell to the pulp inside. Then, stick the pumpkin in the microwave for 15 minutes, checking the progress every few minutes. The pumpkin is done when a fork pierces the skin with ease. Stovel's book also provides more detailed instructions for making your own basic pumpkin puree.
Of course, you can cook your pumpkin in the oven. It cooks just like a squash - simply cut it open, take out the seeds and the stringy parts, stick the two halves in a pan and bake until the pulp is soft. If those options seem too time consuming, the canned stuff works as well.
After completing her book, Stovel says she has started eating a pumpkin-infused dish at least once a week. In addition to pumpkin's versatility and appealing flavor, Stovel says she eats it for the health benefits. A member of the squash family, pumpkin is fat-free, low calorie (80 in one cup) and provides a healthy dose of complex carbohydrates. Pumpkins are also an excellent source of several vitamins and minerals.
But even if you aren't ready to jump into a pumpkinladen diet, just try out a few of the recipes from Stovel's book - for breakfast, lunch, or dinner - and see what you think.
And hey, if you don't like it, feel free to carve them up and turn them into jack-o-lanterns. But Stovel says she would be surprised if you do that. After all, she too was a skeptic who became convinced.

Taming of the tabby
The art of feline toilet-training
You wake up late. In a groggy, hurried stumble you navigate your way toward the bathroom, wanting nothing more than to take a piss. But your desire to pee is quickly subverted when you see your cat, paws outstretched, going about its business as it straddle the porcelain seat of the toilet. Guess you'll have to wait in line.
The idea of a toilet-trained cat has been around for decades, but has only recently become mainstream. Training your cat to use the toilet is really just a series of gradual steps, and because cats respond well to behavior modification, it will just take your cat some time to acclimate itself to a new way of doing things.
By James Foley, Jayplay writer
The easiest way to toilet-train your cat is to buy a special seat to be fitted on top of the toilet. Several kinds of seats are available online or at pet stores for about $30. They all work on the same basic principle: teaching the cat to use a toilet as it would use a litter box through a series of graduated steps. It's basically a litter box retrofitted to cover the
Believe it or not, training your cat to use the john is a relatively simple task. All it takes is time, patience and a cat willing to put up with your deranged desires. After four to six weeks, you could have your cat weaned off the litter box and trained to use the toilet, eliminating all the smells and costs of the traditional feline restroom. Sounds like a good deal.
Say what?
toilet seat. Cats are gradually weaned from litter, eventually introducing the cat to the idea of going directly into the toilet. Your cat's cleverness and interest will determine how quickly you can pace the process.
Ryan Joy, Grand-
view freshman, was skeptical when his roommate came home with an oversized plastic contraption that looked like a combination of a life preserver and Hello Kitty. His roommate, David Ta, Wichita junior, says he was tired of the smell and constant need to change the litter box of their two cats. After doing research and talking to friends, Ta bought the device and began training the cats in their spare bathroom. "I was skeptical at first," Joy says, "But it worked. Once we established the litter box was in the bathroom it was no problem."

Cats are creatures of habit, which is why they're so easy to train. Eckstein says the most important thing to remember when toilet training a cat is to use the same litter as before. When you begin the process, use the litter directly
- How to Toilet Train Your Cat: 21 Days to a Litter Free Home, by Paul Kunkel, $6.95
People assume cats just can't be trained, says Warren Eckstein, pet and animal editor of NBC's Today Show and author of the book How to Get Your Cat to do What You Want. This is not the case. He says cats are so smart that they've convinced the public they can't be trained.
But toilets are for people...
As long as you can keep your cat on a balanced diet, toilet-training your cat is a relatively mess-free and sanitary process. Rebecca Rescate, founder of CitiKitty Inc., says the toilet is a much more sanitary lavatory than a litter box. In a litter box, a cat paws around in its own excrement trying to cover up the smell. A toilet-trained cat need not try to hide its scent, as the water in the toilet eliminates the smell. It also eliminates dirty cat litter from being tracked through the house. A toilet-trained cat's feet are as clean as the floor of the apartment the cat lives in. Since her company started in early 2005, Rescate says she's sold a couple thousand of her toilet-training kits.
out of their old litter box. This is key to making the cat comfortable with the idea of using the john. Any age of cat can be trained, but Eckstein says the earlier the process is started, the easier it will be.
It's also important not to rush it, Eckstein says. Going too fast will confuse and disinterest the cat. Eckstein says that if the cat freaks out at the idea of toilet-training, it's best not to force it. That could just create a bigger problem. The last thing you want is a rebellious cat that refuses to use either the toilet or the litter box. Another potential hazard is falling in. Though cats have naturally excellent balance, there's always a chance of slippage. Eckstein says that a cat who falls in would be very traumatized and leery of the toilet.
If you can devote the time toward it, the benefits of having a toilet-trained cat can be quite nice. No more cleaning the litter box, no more smells, money saved on cat-litter and let's face it — a toilet-trained kitty is kind of cool.

JUNEBUG
"The biostudy actor film distills antipodeal, real-state entities...
Mr. Adam's portrait of an infiltrate operand is a spartan outstanding, and the camera
retains significance of the dummy house a rick, fabulous sense of place."
Produced by: James Poulton, Lee McKinney

107 minutes, Liberty Hall
★★★★★
In the tender, indie gem, Junebug, director Phil Morrison presents a quiet portrait of a religious Southern family. And it's a great film.
The film's strength lies in its ability to crisply capture the beauty and tragedy in everyday lives and relationships.
Junebug begins when the eldest and "perfect" son, George returns home (to North Carolina) with his foreign, older and friendly new bride, Madeline. Their homecoming causes the modest and average Southern family to have an emotional upheaval and shed their rigid roles. The patriarch, Eugene, is gentle and meek. He oversees the family's muffled changes with a wise eye. The matriarch, Peg with her staunch morals and never-wrong ideas, rules the house with a stern mouth, which masks a softer side. The most intriguing character is the younger brother,
Johnny. He shows nothing but suppressed rage, due to the jealousy he feels toward George, while his hidden gentleness emerges during the final scenes.
Undoubtedly, the brightest and most delightful character is the pregnant sister in law, Ashley (Amy Adams). She flawlessly portrays a loquacious young bride, full of hope and cheerfulness with heart-breaking accuracy. We learn, however, that her brightness exists to fill the void of her situation (the loss of a good relationship she had shared with the child's father, Johnny. Junebug's charm lies in its attention to the smaller moments, depth of characters and sparse but potent dialogue. The details make the film truly shine the determination to find a screwdriver, the excitement of new marriage and the fear and joy of having a baby.
Junebug is slow to settle into itself and scene-setting shots seem to break the flow of the story. But overall, they do not hinder the film.
Toward the end, Eugene softly speaks of Peg's abrasive personality saying, "She's not like that on the inside. She hides herself...like most." Such simple and sensible dialogue teaches us there are films that don't need an all-star cast to be moving, relatable and wise.

Cameron Crowe is a great American director. He's also a great American director that may have taken a bad step as of late. His previous films such as Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous and Vanilla Sky, are all classics. So when I heard about Elizabethtown, I expected a glorious return from Mr. Crowe.
Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom) has just lost job at a shoe company. Jobless and friendless, Drew is on the verge of suicide when he gets the call that his father has passed away. Instead of adding to his family's trag-

quirky musical scavenger hunts turn his world around.
Elizabethtown has the heart of Say Anything, Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous all wrapped into one — so much heart, it borders on sap. Sure, with Orlando Bloom, an amazing soundtrack and those damned cute couple moments that make you want to swoon and vomit at the same time, what's not to like? But the film leaves a disappointed feeling. It feels formulaic when it should be inspiring. The sap will

You've brought the girl to a forbidden land to attempt a resurrection, and a booming voice from the sky named Dormin says you might have a chance.The only things in between her and breathing again are sixteen colossi and you've got to kill them.
That's the game. You ride your horse to each colossus, figure out how to climb onto it, and kill it. With that said, Shadow is incredible. It has renewed my faith in video games.The graphics are amazing, if not somewhat ambitious for the PS2 and the story really grabs your

attention.The plot and game play might sound simplistic, but the first time you
climb onto a colossus and it's flying at blinding speeds or swimming too deep to hold onto, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's not for everyone, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. If this title sounds interesting at all, I suggest buying it immediately.
Youll play this one through more than a few times. It's available at Hastings and EB Games for $39.99.

Sigur Ros
☆☆☆☆
Let's just skip a lengthy introduction and get straight to the point. This
album is incredible. You owe it to yourself to listen to this. Put away your Motorhead albums and give this one a chance.
Sigui Rao
From Iceland, Sigur Ros creates beautiful, ambient music that sounds like it's from a movie soundtrack. In fact, their songs have been in movies. Remember that scene in The Life Aquatic when Bill Murray and his crew discover what they were
ing heavy section. "Milano" is another favorite with its driving energy and soar-
looking for? That excellent song was Sigur Ros's "Staralfur".
Sigur Ros has had several successful albums, and with Takk... they make their best one to date. The track "Se Lest" has a great use of bells and xylophone and a great middle section with circus-influenced music. "Saeglopur" has an incredible outro alongside a mind blowing vocals. One of the best tracks is "Hoppinolla" featuring a slow building piano intro, the perfect soundtrack for waking up in the morning.
Sigur Ros creates some of the most emotional music you'll ever hear but in a totally refreshing and groundbreaking way. None of the songs are in English, so you won't know any of the lyrics - vocals are rarely used anyway. Instead, the instrumentals supply all the power and will leave you feeling things you never have before.
You can hear the entire album for free at www.myspace.com/sigurros. You owe it to yourself to listen to this.

Ultimate Spider-Man dives into the comic book series of the same name and follows it pretty well. Although the storyline in the game has not shown up in the comics yet, it would make quite a good read if it did.
The dual player facet is pretty good. Being able to control the villian Venom is a plus. While

The graphics for the game are cellshading and the use of comic panels
Venom is a plus. While Spider-Man relies more on web-swinging and web-zipping to cover ground more quickly, Venom relies on his massive Hulk-like jumps to cover great distances. Most of Venom's missions are destroying things that try to kill him, while Spider-Man is saving people.
The gameplay shadows much of Spider-Man 2: The Game where you can explore New York. But since Spider-Man is much younger, you don't learn all the cool Spider-Man maneuvers and fewer random crimes pop up, so some of the replay value is lacking.

An Unlikely Addiction
I don't know of any programs for me. People with my problem don't gather around, eat free donuts and drink free cups of coffee. They don't
cups of coffee. They don't exchange stories about how they started it and how they couldn't stop. Not all addictions have support groups. So you'll never see me in a stand up in a group meeting and say: "My name is Chris Moore, and I'm addicted to driving."
Before my freshman year at the University of Kansas, I got a new car; a silver 1999 Pontiac Grand AM SE.

Chris Moore Jayplay writer
My love for driving turned into an addiction when I visited my parents in Tulsa. At 11 p.m. when my favorite cartoons ended and I didn't feel like playing video games, I would feel like I had to get up and do something. I'd glance out the window of the front door and just see my car sitting there. I would turn to my mom and say, "Mom, I need to get gas." I'm sure my mother was puzzled as to why I needed gas at 11 p.m., but she
never stopped me. I'd race to my car, jump in and hit the streets. I even had a favorite route that I traveled. My mom sometimes questioned why I was gone
for an hour, but all I'd tell her was that the lines were long or that I stopped and visited a friend at work.
The problem finally caught up with me during my junior year. If I didn't want to do homework, I would drive to waste time. If I was tired of the inside of my apartment, I would drive to see something new. If I had problems on my mind, I drove and vented in the car. Driving was a release
for me. I did it to escape.I felt calm while I was behind the wheel.Yet, in the end I still had to come back to finish my homework, look at my apartment again and deal with the problems I was facing.
I started going out more and more. The routes I took started to satisfy me less. So, I decided to drive farther and stay out longer. I started to make up excuses to myself as to why I needed to
drive somewhere at night when I knew I should stay in.
I would make lame excuses to myself. I would sit in front of my computer trying to do homework when I would say to myself, "I need to get some pens. I better go to Wal-Mart." I always took the long way back.
Driving was my drug and the gas stations were the pushers. I was going to the gas station about two times a week. I usually filled up on mid-grade. But if I wanted the good stuff, I'd give my car premium. The pusher would keep raising prices, but I still went to it to get my routine fix.
Last spring, I realized my driving addiction was draining my bank account. I had to do something, but I wasn't ready to stop driving. I decided to become a transporter. I couldn't fight or transport "questionable cargo" like Frank in The Transporter, but I could drive my friends wherever they needed to go. Be it one in the afternoon or three in the morning, I did it. In return I got a few extra dollars here and there. I did this about five days a week. I only had two simple rules: Don't bad-mouth my driving and
This year, I don't drive as much as I used to. I have invented a new system for when I feel the need to drive around. I wrote down six locations on sheets of paper: Clinton Lake, a church on 15th St., Overland Park, Topeka, KCI Airport and Manhattan. I draw one of the pieces of paper out of a hat and drive to the location on the sheet. If I feel I want to go further, I don't. I just go back home and sleep it off. Think of it as my form of the patch.
don't bad-mouth my music. They were two rules that some of my passengers broke ritually. But even with the additional income it wasn't enough. So I decided finally to cut back on my driving. I had reached my limit.
My new hat system has been going OK. For three weeks, I haven't driven anywhere far unless it was necessary. But in the recesses of my mind, I can feel my urge to get back behind the wheel and blaze down the road for one more drive.

Those looking to satiate their tastes for Rated material, filled with depictions of sex, drugs, language and violence, don't even have to step off campus this weekend.
"Popcorn" is a dark comedy play based on the famed British novelist Ben Elton's book by the same title. It features the events surrounding two serial killers who hold a Tarantinoesque director, his family, entourage and half-naked TV crew hostage on Oscar night.

Homecoming committee bridges gap with block party

The sound of "I'm a Jayhawk" played by the KU Pep Band echoed from South Park as this week's homecoming festivities spread to the Lawrence community.
This year's Homecoming Committee decided to take the spirit of the week to the community by having a homecoming block party wherein students and Lawrence residents could enjoy the activities.
Dustin Curzon, Broken Arrow,
Okla., sophomore and special events co-chairman, said the committee wanted to raise awareness in the community about homecoming and share in the spirit.
With live entertainment and an inflatable obstacle course, students and children from the community got to have fun.
"The community needs to be involved because it's their homecoming, too," he said.
One of the children enjoying the obstacle course was Hannah Moyer who has soccer practice on Thursday nights at South Park.
Her father, Brant, said he had a hard time trying to convince his daughter it was time to leave.
Shades of autumn
Katherine Sharp and her two boys, Kyle and Pierce, stumbled upon the party while taking their nightly walk.
She said it was nice to see the University reaching out to the community.
She said the University could sometimes be considered its own community but having activities like this really help.
"When the slide is going the kids can't leave now," he said.
"The more for the community to do the better," she said.

GREEK LIFE
Three councils unite for parade
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STaff WRITER
In a sign of unity during this year's homecoming festivities, the three greek councils on campus will come together to walk under one banner during tomorrow's homecoming parade.
Members from the National Pan-Hellenic Council Inc., the Panhellenic Association and the Interfraternity Council will demonstrate unity among the different organizations.
"It brings more understanding and respect for our individual organizations," said Eboney Crawford, NPHC president.
The integration of the three councils is an attempt to help those who may not understand the differences in the organizations, she said.
Scott Shorten, IFC president, said this was a starting point for the three organizations to continue to learn about each other.
"It will allow us an opportunity to see the big picture of the entire Greek community, rather than focusing on our distinct councils," he said.
Crawford said students on campus weren't educated about the multicultural Greek organizations, which re-chartered in 1997 and have been defined by its big event, the Step Show.
"We are more than just stepping and strolling," Crawford said.
Christina Strubbe, Panhellenic president, said the differences in council, size and funding of the organizations had made it difficult to plan a unified event.
She said working with the other councils had demonstrated the differences but also brought awareness to the fact that the organizations were based on the same principles.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, said the efforts to work as one greek community had been an ongoing process, something that developed when NPHC moved from the Office of Multicultural Affairs to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center in 2003.
She said the councils, working in close proximity, had allowed for more interaction between presidents and provided ways to generate ideas about how the organizations could work together.
The councils will continue to work together, and have planned to include women from Panhellenic to join in the annual Step Show.
She said this could open the door to attracting more people to the organization. Crawford said integration would provide more knowledge but would not impose on the traditions of the councils.
"We want to be inclusive, but we want to keep the traditions we have," she said.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Tonight, the curtain will rise on Ben Elton's acerbic comedy, "Popcorn." The University of Kansas drama department will begin a two-weekend run of the R-rated show today through Sunday.
"The people who chose this play found it to be very insightful," said Ron Willis, a former theater professor and guest director of "Popcorn."
The plot orbits around a Hollywood director who has been made famous by his wanton depictions of violence. Through a fluke, one of his films is nominated for an Academy Award. Even more surprisingly he ends up bringing the award home.
"When he comes home there are two psychopathic killers in his house," Willis said. "They want to be excused from their crimes by claiming that it was the violence in his films that brainwashed them."
The director, his daughter, his wife, his mistress and his producer are all taken hostage until he announces that it was his fault for the heinous crimes.
Popcorn is a good example of a theater that is accessible to a younger audience, says Willis.
"The play taps a condition," he said. "The world of politics and American society has become so polarized that it is all black and white. There's no middle area anymore. It's either, and a lot of it results in finger pointing when something horrible happens."
One frequent scapegoat is Hollywood and it's depictions of violence, Willis said. He said a point the play made was that there was no true black and white in the real world.
"Does Hollywood cause violence?" Willis asked. "Are they responsible? It's a degree, it's not yes or no."
"It's not a stodgy, stuffy play," he said. "It's definitely something that a high school, college age level would appreciate."
The frank addressing of such controversial issues resonate with a younger crowd, Willis said.
The play also takes a stab at cross-media performances, integrating the films of the main character with the live action on stage. The play opens with film projections of grisly murder scenes taken from the director's movies.
"When you talk about reasons to put on a show, (the department) serves those who they regard as their most important clients," he said. "The college student."
Willis said that the play was funny, relevant, modern and sure to appeal to the younger generation.
So, if you're looking for an off-the-beaten-comedy comedy full of sex, drugs and violence, take some time out of your schedule and come to the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall this weekend at 7:30 p.m. Sunday's show starts at 2:30 p.m.
A warning to the slight of heart: The play challenges a conservative mind set and is not for little children.

Musicians plan strike
Holiday show could be affected
BY VERENA DOBNIK
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The Radio City Rockettes might be high-kicking this holiday season to Christmas tunes controlled by a computer.
With musicians planning to strike, the possibility of canned music looms over Radio City Music Hall's famed "Christmas Spectacular," set to open Nov. 3 for 10 weeks.
The labor cliffhanger is not likely to end until opening day, when spectators from around the world hope to start lining up for a show that carries ticket prices of up to $250.
The orchestra's five-year contract expired in May, and meetings since then have failed to produce an agreement with Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians on salary and overtime issues.
Although the show could still go on with replacement musicians or electronically synthesized music, other unionized Radio City employees could refuse to cross the picket line, threatening to shut down a show that has entertained children and adults for seven decades.
On Wednesday, hundreds of
musicians and supporters staged a boisterous, music-filled protest on Sixth Avenue behind police barricades, in front of the hall.
"Don't let Cablevision $teal Christmas," read the words on red and green T-shirts worn by the protesters. Cablevision owns Madison Square Garden, the Knicks, the Rangers and the Radio City Entertainment company that owns the show. An inflated cougar with bared teeth faced the protesters — a counter-reference to the blown-up rat that often accompanies New York union protests.
Radio City Entertainment released a statement saying it "has offered our musicians an extremely fair contract proposal. ... The contract includes increases in salary and benefits and fully protects the existing overtime system. They have rejected that proposal and walked away from the table."
Should a strike occur, Radio City is "reaching out to orchestra musicians all over the world," according to company spokeswoman Michael Cordova. The company reportedly approached out-of-work New Orleans musicians who were recently in New York playing a Hurricane Katrina fund-raiser. But they declined because of the labor dispute.
"This is about union-busting by a corporate giant digging into the pockets of the musicians," said trombonist Mark Johansen, one of the union's negotiators.

A man who did not give his name hands out papers arguing against the musicians at Radio City Music Hall, who are represented by the union Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians, while the union members held a rally across the street from the famous music hall in New York Wednesday. The Radio City Rockettes face dancing to Christmas tunes controlled by a computer this holiday season. With human musicians planning to strike, that possible scenario looms over Radio City Music Hall's famed "Christmas Spectacular" that is to open Nov.3 and run for 10 weeks.
"At every negotiating session, we've been met with threats. 'If you don't accept this or that, we'll hire other musicians or use tape. Take it or leave it."
cians' base pay of $133 per show, which is about $40 less than what standard Broadway musicians are paid, Johansen said. At the height of the Christmas season, the musicians must play at least 12 shows a week.

HALLOWEEN
Haunted houses lure owner back in
BY DAVID TWIDDY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When Dwayne Throneberry closed his haunted house, The Main Street Morgue, two falls ago, he swore he'd shaken his last skeleton at his last screaming teenager.
A plan to rebuild downtown Kansas City, including a new corporate headquarters for tax-prep giant H&R Block Inc. and an entertainment district, had claimed the building in which the Morgue had terrorized for decades.
A plan to rebuild downtown Kansas City, including a new corporate headquarters for taxprep giant H&R Block Inc. and an entertainment district, had claimed the building in which the Morgue had terrorized for decades.
Throneberry, who had already laid to rest two other haunted houses nearby, said he'd had it with the headaches endemic in the industry and what he considered a lack of respect for his business by city officials.
But as the autumn chill this year began to creep back into Kansas City, which at one time counted more than a dozen haunted houses. Throneberry found himself in an old, 60,000-square-foot warehouse, assembling vampire forests and plugging in the sound machine again.
"When I saw the inside, I knew I would build a haunted house here," he said, taking a break from nine months of getting The Morgue ready. "I saw the dungeon in the basement. I saw Frankenstein's Laboratory on the fourth floor."
Haunted houses have long been a tradition of Halloween, evolving from Jaycee charity tents and cold bowls of spaghetti "innards" to the sophisticated spook factories of today featuring movie-quality makeup and special effects. Long lines of thrill-seekers now pay up to $20 or $30 apiece for a half-hour or more of controlled fright.
But those in the business say
haunted houses, a growth industry only five years ago, have reached their peak. Urban renewal in many of the nation's bigger cities has cut off operators from cheap locations, safety regulations have driven up the cost of doing business and outfitting the haunted house with the latest animatronic zombies or computer controlled ghouls has become an expensive arms race few can keep up with. Haunts built into existing amusement parks also have put pressure on their unaffiliated brethren.
"So many people who get in the business are artist-types who enjoy scaring people and don't understand that if you don't have the money, you don't get to play anymore," said haunted house designer Leonard Pickel,
who edits the industry magazine Haunted Attractions. "Scaring people is easy. Making money scaring people is a lot harder."
It's difficult to determine how many haunted houses there are now. Excluding Halloween-themed attractions like hayrides, pumpkin patches and corn mazes, Pickel estimated there are between 3,000 and 5,000 haunted houses operating this year.
Larry Kirchner, another haunted house designer/operator and president of the St. Louis-based International Association of Haunted Attractions, guessed lower, saying there are probably around 600 professional events, the remaining being run by charities.
Whatever the number, observers say there are fewer haunts today than there were 10 years ago. Today's haunts, they say, are for the most part economically healthier and better-run.
"The people who are doing it now really want to be in the business," Kirchner said.

SUPREME COURT
Miers withdraws nomination
BY SAM HANANEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Sam Brownback said Thursday that he was not surprised Harriet Miers withdrew her name from consideration for the Supreme Court, given the lack of a clear record on her views.
"It shows the maturity of the (Republican) party," the senator from Kansas said. "They wanted a clear nominee."
Brownback, a leading social conservative and member of the
Senate Judicary Committee, was among the first lawmakers to express disappointment with Miers when she was nominated earlier this month.
He never openly called for her withdrawal, but he admitted "feeling less comfortable all along" about her selection.
The White House claimed Miers withdrew because of senators' demands to see internal documents related to her role as counsel to the president. But a rising chorus of conservative groups attacked Miers' lack of experience as a judge and questioned
her ideological commitment.
Brownback said the absence of a paper trail was critical because Miers would have replaced Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a swing vote on such key issues as abortion and gay marriage.
Unlike Brownback, Sen. Pat.
Roberts, R-Kan., had been non-
"My colleagues and I in the Senate needed information about what Ms. Miers worked on at the White House," Brownback said. "Understandably, the White House did not want to compromise executive privilege by providing this information."
"Under the circumstances, it was a wise and prudent decision." Roberts said yesterday of her decision to withdraw.
committal on Miers, saying he wanted to see what she said during the hearings.
Democrats, meanwhile, accused Bush of bowing to the "radical right wing of the Republican Party."
Brownback said President Bush now had an opportunity to choose a prominent conservative in the mold of Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.

Wife of former candidate speaks about her youth
Schlant Bradley reminisces about WWII
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Ernestine Schlant Bradley, author and wife of former presidential candidate Bill Bradley, spoke last night at the Max Kade Center for Germanic Studies about her experiences growing up in Nazi Germany and then moving to the United States.
Bradley spoke about the traumatic events she witnessed growing up in Germany during World War II.
She said the Holocaust could not be treated as a single event because it had lasting effects on the world and those who experienced it.
"You have to see it, in my opinion, as an ongoing activity." Bradley said.
Bradley has taught French at Spelman College, German at SUNY
Stony Brook and has held visiting professorships at Yale and Columbia.
Bradley's latest book, "The Way Home: a German Childhood, an American Life," is an autobiography.
If her life were a movie, the white noise of her childhood would be the trains that transported people to the concentration camps, Bradley said.
The school Bradley attended as a student had to be used as a hospital when the hospitals became full. Instead of attending school in those buildings the students were transferred to restaurants.
Bradley said she tried to convey the effects of war through her books.
"I wanted to show how historic events out there impinge on the lives of the individuals," she said.
Bradley said she had struggled with the actions of her family and fellow Germans.
"You never know what your ancestors or parents did but you have to deal with it. You can not deny where you came from," Bradley said.
Bradley spoke about the traumatic events she witnessed growing up in Germany during World War II. She said the Holocaust could not be treated as a single event because it had lasting effects on the world and those who experienced it.

In witnessing the tragedy of war, Bradley said she learned that there was a positive side to defeat. She said Germany was not defeated but that it was instead liberated.
"Defate always had the promise of something better in it." Bradley said.
something better in life.
After witnessing World War II, Bradley said she learned to look for the positives in any negative situation. She approached hardships in her life with this mindset.

The play contains strong language, adult subject matter, gun shots, simulated sex, simulated violence and a thought-provoking theme. "Popcorn" will be performed this weekend and the first weekend in November in the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall.

"I think by slapping an R rating on a play, all of a sudden people shake off their preconceived notions about the play. When you think about it, Romeo and Juliet should have an R rating. It starts with a gang war, it has teenagers having unprotected sex (one of which is about 13 years old), and ends in a double suicide. I don't think anything we do in our show is any more or less offensive then that," he said.

Charla Jones, director of public relations for University Theater, hopes this kind of contemporary offering will draw in younger crowds, but for the right reasons.
"I am concerned younger audiences might come just to see something violent. It's more than that because there are deeper philosophical issues that are discussed as well," Jones said.
The issue at the heart of "Popcorn" is gratuitous violence in films, alibet in a convoluted manner, and whether it breeds violent behavior in the audience for such films. Ron Willis, professor emeritus of theatre and film, is returning to the University Theatre to direct "Popcorn."
Willis said he had noticed that often times more effort was expended finding excuses for inappropriate behavior than was spent directly addressing and modifying that behavior. Overall, he said he hoped the play would get people to think

about the displacement of blame.
"People should bear in mind this work was carefully chosen in order to foster meaningful dialogue among audiences. It would be gratifying to have the production serve as a stimulus to thoughtful reflection and discussion," Willis said.
Willis said "Popcorn" promises to be a complex show mixing live stage and video elements and is likely to provoke some polarized discussion.
"Because the text employs such an 'in-your-face' bold satiric metaphor there will be some attendees whose personal tastes will inhibit their reacting openly to the satric core of the script." Willis said. "Others will undoubtedly mature the mature and direct treatment of an issue which figures so prominently in people's thinking."
Jenkins said she was surprised her office had not heard back from anyone after issuing the notice. The play premiers at 7:30 tonight and will run until Nov. 5.

President Bush comforts Priscilla Herrera during a visit to a relief center in Pompano Beach, Fla., as he surveys damage from Hurricane Wilma on Thursday. This has been a record year for hurricanes and even storm-savvy Floridians are still trying to find food, water, ice and gas in the wake of Hurricane Wilma.
POMPANO BEACH, Fla.
— President Bush on Thursday promised a robust response to Hurricane Wilma, offering reassurance that things would improve soon for victims who are angry that supplies have been slow in coming.
"Things don't happen instantly, but things are happening," Bush said. As Bush reassured storm victims, a political storm swirled around the White House back in Washington.
In Florida, Bush spoke at a relief supply distribution center, as people gathered around him while they waited for a hot meal of barbecued pork, potatoes, bread and crushed pineapple.
Alongside his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the president greeted volunteers with the Southern Baptist Convention who traveled from Tennessee to hand out food and water. Storm victims mobbed the brothers to get handshakes, hugs and, for the women, kisses on the cheek.
"A lot of the gasoline lines that people are standing in will be alleviated by new ships coming in."
Bush held a closed-door meeting with local officials and also got a tour of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Hurricane Center director Max Mayfield showed Bush data on Tropical Storm Beta, the 23rd named storm of 2005. Staff at the center expect it to grow to hurricane strength as it moves over the Caribbean Sea, continuing the year's record-setting hurricane season.
About 2 million homes and businesses remain without power in Florida in the wake of Wilma, which struck the state on Monday. Floridians have grown angry about the response as they struggle to find food, water and fuel.
Criticism has been directed toward the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is trying to recover from its failures in response to Hurricane Katrina. Gov. Bush said Wednesday that the responsibility was the state's and promised a huge infusion of supplies.
George Bush President
The president said he came to Florida to make sure the federal and state responses "dovetail."
"People are getting fed. Soon and more and more houses will have their electricity." Bush said. "A lot of the gasoline lines that people are standing in will be alleviated by new ships coming in."
He said generators being
brought in from other states and the presence of 6,000 electrical workers from across the country would help restore power — a key step to also addressing the gas shortages, since many stations have gasoline, but no electricity to deliver it to customers.
The president, meanwhile, ignored reporters' shouted ques
tions about Harriet Miers' surprise withdrawal as his nominee to the Supreme Court.
The announcement about Miers roiled through Washington Thursday and the White House is bracing for possible indictments of one or more top aides in the CIA leak case. Indictments could be announced Friday.

After landing at Miami International Airport at lunchtime, Bush took a short helicopter flight to a Goodyear blimp hangar here. His motorcade route to the relief center took him down streets lined with downed branches.
MEDIA
Newspapers seek ways to survive
DT MATTHEW FORDAHL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — To survive in the age of blogs, iPods and Craiglist, newspapers must capitalize on their credibility and local strengths while figuring out how best to make money from their new media ventures, a panel of industry experts said Thursday.
The task is hardly simple as newspapers struggle at the same time with declining print readership, dwindling revenue growth and smaller staffs, even as the need to innovate and competition from new media businesses is growing.
"The world is changing, and clearly the demand for our product is not as high as it once was," Lynn Dickerson, publisher and president of The Modesto Bee, said at a panel at the Associated Press Managing Editors annual conference examining the challenges newspapers face.
That's made more difficult by the financial pressures associated with the shrinking readership and staffs of the traditional newspaper, said Ann Morris, managing editor of the News & Record in Greensboro, N.C.
"I still think we're the last collective effort for democracy," she said. "We've got to survive, and we've got to succeed."
"At the same time, I'm trying to reach younger readers. I'm trying to do online. I'm trying to do multimedia," she said. "I'm trying to do a lot more, and I've got a lot less in terms of staff resources. And I've got a smaller newwhole."
Panelists agreed that online appears to be the most attractive revenue prospect. But while revenue from online businesses is growing, competition in that sector is fierce. Traditional newspaper sites must compete not only with each other but also with an estimated 20 million people who publish blogs, news sites and other forms of new media.
Unlike the upstarts, however, newspapers carry a longstanding reputation of accuracy, fairness, credibility and independence, the panelists noted. Their reporters are skilled at digging through paperwork at City Hall and other local reporting that the average blogger can't or won't pursue.
"Our franchise is local news. It costs a lot of money to do what we do. That's our core competency," Morris said, adding that it's the reason most people pick up the newspaper.
"The problem is some information is becoming commoditized," said Rich Skrenta, chief executive officer of the online news aggregation site Topix.net.
Once local coverage shifts from paper to the computer screen, newspapers see considerably less revenue, noted Peter Appert, senior research analyst at Goldman Sachs.
"The industry has not done a good job of monetizing the online traffic," he said. "Revenues don't match up with the Googles or the Yahoes."
Appert said success will take a rethinking of business plans, including possibly a reassessment of the relationship between the editorial and advertising departments of newpapers.
Despite the highly competitive landscape, the best online resources are owned by newspapers and television stations, said Walter Baer, senior policy adviser at the Rand Corp. But newer online companies are better at pulling in revenue and profiting from the information they provide. Baer said.
Google, for instance, is increasingly branching beyond its core business and has generated billions of dollars by targeting relevant ads to its viewers based on their searches, e-mails and other interactions with Google products.
"Newspapers are using the traditional model of putting up banner ads from different advertisers," Baer said. "Google is showing us a different way."

Countries hoard drug for bird flu
BY BRADLEY S. KLAPPER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA — Pharmaceutical company Roche Holding AG said Thursday that would it temporarily suspend shipments of the antiviral drug Tamiflu to private sector recipients in the United States. Roche aims to ensure that enough Tamiflu, which experts believe is most effective in treating bird flu, will be available for the influenza season.
U. S. companies and large organizations apparently have been hoarding the drug, spurred by fears that the virus could mutate into a strain transmittable among people.
Supplies have become tight because some 40 countries' governments and other organizations are scrambling to create Tamiflu stockpiles in case the H5N1 strain spreading from Asia to Europe mutates into a form that can pass easily to and among people, sparking a human flu pandemic. Experts say Tamiflu could soften the impact of a pandemic. It would be used to treat the sick and those with close contact with the sick in hopes of stopping the spread of the virus while scientists rush to make a vaccine.
The Swiss drug giant emphasized that the temporary suspension would not affect Washington's orders to build up a national stockpile of Tamilu-
"We have agreed orders with governments, and we will fulfill them," said Alexander Klauser, a Swiss-based Roche spokesman. "It is important that this is seen separately from the pandemic offered."
He said Roche's U.S. management proceeded with the suspension because of the increased global demand for Tamiflu. Roche officials in Switzerland, Germany and Canada already had disclosed that they were limiting distribution to pharmacies because they didn't
want individuals hoarding the drug.
"The priority is that there is enough Tamiflu for the people who need it at the start of the influenza season," said Klauser. "At the moment, there is no influenza currently circulating."
Klauser said the increased demand for Tamiflu would mean that "over the next few weeks, limited stocks would be available in most countries."
The World Health Organization recommends governments keep enough anti-viral drugs and regular human flu vaccines for at least 25 percent of their populations. Roche has donated 3 million treatments to WHO for a global stockpile in case of a flu pandemic.
The H5N1 strain of the disease has already been detected in birds in Romania, Russia and Turkey and Croatia, raising fears it could spread across Europe. The strain has killed at least 62 people in Asia since 2003.
Suicide bomb renews conflict
BY KARIN LAUB THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel killed seven Palestinian in a missile strike Thursday against Islamic Jihad, and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said he would not meet with the Palestinian leader until he cracks down on armed groups — a double-edged Israeli response to the latest suicide bombing.
Adel Hana/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
(1)
Sharon threatened a "broad and relentless" offensive against Palestinian militants, including mass arrests and air strikes, but security officials said Israel would stop short of a large-scale military operation.
Wednesday's bombing in an open-air market in the central Israeli town of Hadera killed five Israelis, the fourth suicide attack by Islamic Jihad since Abbas negotiated a truce deal with Palestinian groups in February.
Sharon's decision to shun Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas was the clearest signal yet that efforts to revive peacemaking after Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip last month have run aground. Abbs has said he could not and would not confront militants, fearing civil war, but it's unlikely progress can be made unless the two leaders meet.
January.
In Washington, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lodged a new appeal Thursday with Abbas to prevent terror attacks on Israel and dismantle the groups that carry out. She balanced her request to Abbas with appeals to Israel to resume contacts with the Palestinians, said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
The international community has been pressing for a quick Israeli-Palestinian agreement on new security arrangements for Gaza's borders, and a continued deadlock over such issues will prevent the economic recovery of impoverished Gaza. That, in turn, could hurt Abbas' chances in parliamentary elections in January.
Palestinian youths gather around the wreckage of a car hit in an Israeli missile strike that killed seven Palestinians in the Jebalia refugee camp, northern Gaza Strip. Thursday.
Abbas, widely known as Abu Mazen, condemned the bombing, but Israel said he must do much more.
"If the Palestinian Authority does not take serious and tangible action against terrorism, there will be no diplomatic progress and that would be a pity. In such a situation, I will not meet with Abu Mazen." Sharon said after meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Jerusalem.
There had been repeated efforts in recent weeks to arrange a Sharon-Abbas meeting, but Israeli and Palestinian negotiators could not find enough common ground on issues — Gaza border arrangements, prisoner releases and an Israeli pullout from some West Bank towns — to hold a summit.
Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh said Sharon's demands for a crackdown "do not serve the peace process and we are ready for a meeting between Sharon and Abu Mazen without conditions."
In the Gaza refugee camp of Jebaliya, Israeli aircraft fired two missiles at a car carrying Islamic Jihad militants. Hospital officials said at least seven people were killed and 15 wounded, four of them critically.

Searching for a candidate; just Biden my time
I vividly remember the starcrossed date of November 2, 2004. It was the day I lost my political innocence and gave my first vote to John Kerry. It was also the night of my first electoral heartbreak. I desperately drank my intended victory champagne in a state of disbelief, unable to fathom that 51 percent of the electorate actually choose to renew their vows to George W. Bush despite the fact that he had screwed our schools, the environment, our legitimacy in the world, everyone not in his tax brackets and all with no sign of remorse or willingness to change.
I am very happy to meet you.
After I overanalyzed all the "what ifs." I came to realize that my first vote was doomed to be a disappointment. Indeed, there is no question that John
SARAH STACY opinion@kansan.com
Kerry would have been a better match for me than Bush, but Kerry was not my idea of Mr. Right.
Although I admired his judiciousness and his intellect, he conveyed his stances poorly and lacked the personal touch needed to win over my small town friends who considered him an "elitist." And I privately confess that he failed to satisfy some of my leftist needs.
While no one aspirant will ever be perfectly compatible for me, I now possess a more refined conception of what I look for in a President.
I am on the prowl for a compelling Democrat leader who is at least 35 years of age, a natural born citizen of the United States, who has a reputation for honesty and integrity and is willing to keep the interest of all members of his country at heart.
The contender must make me feel secure, know how to budget and plan for the future, respect women's autonomy and have a strong yet warm personality.
My major turn-offs include violating civil liberties, cronyism, corruption, exploiting natural resources, third-world-bullying, endorsing trickle-down economic policies that result in nothing but drops, and playing
the Jesus card for political gain.
And please, no wealthy former C-students from Ivy League universities or "Democrats" willing to damage the Party by pushing it to the right for personal short-term gain.
To be pragmatic, I must narrow down the playing field to only those who have a real chance at succeeding.
I regrettably must eliminate anyone with inadequate fundraising capabilities and those who lack prominent political consultants and an organized grass-roots campaign. It may sound harsh, but I admit I am a high maintenance constituent with an electoral clock that is ticking.
Fortuitously for me, I can shop around for men and women planning to run for President
without ever having to leave Lawrence. The Dole Institute of Politics is bringing presidential hopefuls to speak on issues facing the nation for its 2008 Contenders' lecture series. Today at 1:30 p.m. at the Dole Institute of Politics, the KU Young Democrats will co-sponsor the first of such events with special guest Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del).
Although the the Kansan was informed in advance that this senator was coming to campus to speak to students, they chose only to begin covering his appearance after all the tickets were taken, thanks to a Lawrence Journal-World preview.
The Dole Institute will accommodate students with a large projection screen on the lawn where you can see Joe
Biden live. Bring a blanket, bundle up and take advantage of this special opportunity to see this six-term senator who has long been a member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the top ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a politician with ambitions of becoming our next president. I will go to this engagement with no expectations, but you never know, perhaps he and I will have political chemistry.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Popcorn: tasty treat and great play
When most students think about theater, they typically think of the lame, stumbling productions from their high schools.
College theatre is very different from the theater world of K12. Not only is the acting better, but the scripts themselves can shock the hell out of you.
We're all more than familiar with these—awkward high school kids flubbing lines, scenery falling down, a less-than-stellar script. I know them well, too, considering I was one of those kids (though hopefully not too awkward).
They've even put an R rating on it, saying it's not suitable for kids. As the Assistant Director, I've seen the show many times now, and I think that's pretty accurate. I also think this makes it even more appealing to college kids.
Such is the case with Popcorn, the University Theatre show opening this Friday. In fact, the script is so risqué and chocked-full of sex, drugs, violence and explicit language that the powers-that-be in the department have sent out letters to patrons warning them of the content.
Think about it: How many violent movies have you watched? How many do you own?
Now think of the movies or shows you love that have sex, swearing, or drugs (or a combination of all three of them)? I

model/actress, half-naked camera crew and everyone else on stage, they are the characters you'd least expect that make us stop and think.
Popcorn hits on topics like the effect violence in media has on people, an all too familiar debate that's gone on for who knows how long.
That's the thing: The show is full of elements that most generations that came before us won't like, yes, but it also delivers a thoughtful theme in a funny (and screwed up) way.
If you like sex, drugs, or violence (whether in real life or on TV, it's okay, we don't judge), this show will rock your socks off.
It's like a Quentin Tareintino movie in 3D. The actors do a brilliant job, the set and special effects are impressive, plus, if I still want to see more of it after more than a month of rehearsals, that has to say something about it, right?
The University and Theatre Department made a great decision by producing this show, despite the expected hell they'll receive from those more conservative than the average student.
So how about this: Instead of potentially staying home for a night this weekend watching a flick on your TV, see some live action entertainment that is just as good. Guys, this isn't your old high school show, this is the kind of theater made just for us. Take advantage.

In regards to Sara Garlick's article concerning cheating, I think all of her work should be banned from the Kansan until she learns to stop being a sexist.
I can glance at her article titles and instantly know that they will be attacking men right and left. Case in point: Sara Garlick's entire article talks about men cheating on their girlfriends.

Reverse discrimination is also a large problem. Men and women are equal. All you're going to do is anger one side and make the other side arrogant and ignorant.

Blue can give Mizzou a black eye
Forget about the past four games. They are in the past. It is time to channel all of our student body angst toward beating Mizzou!
We have one of the best defenses in the nation, and along with the student body as the 12th man on the field, Memorial Stadium will be rocking this Saturday. We are loud, we are proud, we are layhawks!
Some born and bred,some born and transplanted, some
teaching their young how to be a Jayhawk. But we all have one thing in common; crimson and blue running through our veins. And this Saturday, we need to show it.
As I was driving through Missouri last weekend, I kept hearing radio commercials hyping up their game against Nebraska. They wanted to "Black out the stadium". There were even special shirts made up for the game. This is what we need to do.
It worked in basketball with a "Blue Phog".
There needs to be so much blue in Memorial Stadium this Saturday that Missouri fans will get sick of seeing it. Everyone has to have a blue shirt of some kind.
Leave the fashionable KU shirts at home this weekend. No pink, no yellow, no green. Wear blue!

George Greene of Tarpon Springs, Fla., left, and Jeff McIntosh of Greensburg, Ky. watch a fire in an encampment in the shadow of the Louis Armstrong International Airport, Sunday in Kenner, La.
KENNER, La. — Richard Tornow rolled into town a few weeks back in a battered pick-up truck, took a demolition job for $10 an hour and had "Katrina '05" tattooed on his right shoulder.
Tornow, 39, who hails from Embarrass, Minn. — where temperatures can dip to 50 below — has warmed to the task of cleaning up after Hurricane Katrina.
"I've got to make some money," he said last week. "As long as I'm making money, I'm staying."
But this suburb outside New Orleans wishes he wouldn't.
Officials here believe the influx of out-of-state contractors, handymen and laborers hoping to cash in on the disaster could become a public nuisance. They recently evicted scores of workers from a makeshift tent city erected in a playground

"We can't just have them dumping in our city," Philip Capitano said.
Residents have complained that their uninvited guests urinate in

age disposed. Kenner's experience. is hardly unique.
In the aftermath of hurricanes in Florida and elsewhere, authorities grappled to accommodate opportunistic workers who formed tent cities on any open land they found. Locals were left to watch the sites grow more unsanitary and disorderly as time went by.
Since Katrina hit, hundreds of workers have commandeered a large swath of the normally scenic City Park in New Orleans. Now, dome tents and RVs house the population there. Tractor-trailers waiting to haul debris from flood-ravaged neighborhoods idle at all hours.
"Wherever the disaster is, that's where we go," said Michael Caldwell, a contractor from West Palm Beach, Fla., who planted his RV in an area of the park littered with broken tree limbs and beer cans.

Nicole Braman, senior forward, steps out in front of Longhorn freshman defender Stephanie Logterman, to block the ball during last Sunday's home game. Today, the Jayhawks kick off the border showdown game against Missouri in Lawrence at 3 p.m.
Much like the end of an era approaching, Kansas takes on rival Missouri today on senior day in each team's final regular season match-up.
A ceremony in honor of the five Jayhawk seniors, Caroline Smith, Nicole Braman, Erin Ferguson, Kimberly Karfonta and Jessica Smith, is scheduled before the 3 p.m. kickoff.
"Senior day is always very emotional," Caroline Smith said. "Not just for me and the seniors but for everybody. Depending, it will probably be our last time to play on our home field."
The emotional factor aside, today's match puts plenty at stake for both teams. Missouri (9-6-3, 3-4-2 Big 12) must win to have a shot at clinching the eighth, and final, Big 12 Tournament seed.
"If anything it's an advantage for us," Caroline Smith said. "It's hard to play against a team having a senior day. It gives you a little bit of an edge — you tend to play a little better, more intense."
Kansas (10-6-2, 5-3-1 Big 12) are locked into a trip to the postseason, but a victory this afternoon will give the Jayhawks a shot at a Big 12 Co-Championship repeat.
"Regardless of all the scenarios and everything else, we've got a job to get done," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said.

Photo finishes aren't this close.
In the final week of Big 12 Conference play, Kansas (10-6-2,5-3-1 Big 12) could finish in opposite directions. The Jayhawks have a shot at sharing the conference championship for the second straight year but could also finish as low as sixth.
Beating Texas (9-7-1, 6-4-0 Big 12) on Sunday put Kansas in the driver's seat in terms of which extreme the team can finish the season. That victory also cost the Longhorns any chance they had of winning the conference, even though they have six wins to the Jahawks' five.
Kansas beat them head-to-head, and Texas was the only Big 12 team to finish up conference play last weekend. The other advantage of last Sunday's victory is that if Kansas defeats Missouri (9-6-3, 3-4-2 Big 12), Kansas can share the Big 12 Championship.
"We can't be too confident going into our next game, but we do need to win," sophomore defender Afton Sauer said.
"Our destiny, right now, is in our own hands," added Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis.
Well kind of.
First and foremost, if Texas A&M (12-3-2,
6-2-1 Big 12) defeats Baylor
Although Kansas does have to win its final match of the season, almost half of the conference also has to lose for the jahawks to benefit.
(4-11-2, 2-6-1 Big 12) on Friday, the conference race is over. An Aggie victory would give them their second consecutive Big 12 game, only this year it would be outright.
If Texas &M fails to knock off Baylor this weekend, things get fun.

Kansas needs victory for chance at postseason

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Josi Lima, senior middle blocker, serves the ball to Iowa State during Kansas' previous home game on Oct. 19. The Jayhawks take on the Longhorns at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.
KANSAS 10
As the volleyball season winds down, Kansas knows it has a tough road toward postseason play.
The journey continues tonight when it hosts No. 14 Texas at 7 p.m. at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks lost their last match-up with the Longhorns, a five-game match in Austin, Texas, on Sept. 21. Kansas lost the first two games in the match before storming back to force a decisive fifth game, which Texas won 15-13.
Both teams looked destined for a high seed in the NCAA tournament during their first encounter. Texas (15-3, 10-2 Big 12) is still a virtual lock to make the tournament and is in good position to go far. Kansas (12-9, 4-8) will have to catch fire in the last three weeks of the season to get an invitation to the party.
The Jayhawks have gone into a downward spiral since early October. Even if they don't want to acknowledge it, evidence points to junior outside hitter Jana Correa's injury as the main reason. The Jayhawks have lost six consecutive matches and have been without Correa in each of them. Correa went down with a knee injury in Kansas' Oct. 5 match against Kansas State.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard, who said his team had moved on emotionally after Correa's injury, knew what they needed to do to make a late-season run.
"I think they're all must-win matches now," Beachard said. "Last year we won nine matches and weren't sure whether we were going to make it or not. With four wins so far and eight matches left, you can do the math."
Senior setter Andi Rozum
The Longhorns have won nine of their last 10 matches, a
run that began with their victory over the Jayhawks. Texas is coming off a 3-0 win over Texas A&M on Wednesday night.

Kansas a stepping stone to bowl game for Missouri
COLUMN EXCHANGE
And yet it seems whenever it is us against you, rankings don't matter all that much.
Missouri-Kansas is an interesting rivalry. Of course, the close proximity to one another stirs up the chance of hatred. But usually a rivalry also involves something missing the past few years from this one having both teams in contention at the time of the meeting.
Then, when an underachieving Tigers basketball team squared off against a No. 7 Jayhawks team, fans at Mizzou arena expected to be disappointed. So what happened?
Last year was a great example. Now, no one is going to confuse our football team with one that was in contention, but we did
Editor's note: As part of Homecoming Week, the Kansan and The Maneater, Missouri's student newspaper, swapped columns about this weekend's Border Showdown.
Heading into tomorrow's showdown in Lawrence, Missouri will need another strong performance from quarterback Brad Smith to break a two-game losing streak to Kansas.

But the tables are turned when it comes to football. Missouri has had the better players and better records in the series, and especially after the emotional Nebraska victory, see Kansas as their stepping stone to a bowl game.
You see, MU basketball puts a target on KU basketball, and KU football puts a target on MU football. So many times, the team with the target on its back struggles against a team with nothing to lose.
For the Tigers, beating the usually high-ranked Jayhawks in basketball completes a season. But for Kansas, Missouri is just another stepping stone on its way to the NCAA Tournament.
my theory about these unusual endings to the past few meetings.
With that in mind, let's make a deal. We'll win tomorrow and go to a bowl game. And in return, we'll be ever so kind as to keep your four-game losing streak in tact.
Hey, you guys have something going, and our football team doesn't want to mess that up. So Kansas, you can keep your once-clever but now overused "Muck Fizzou" chants; we'll just take our victory and move on.

LIVIN' THE DREAM
Football's one shining weekend Record left at the door for Border Showdown game
For one weekend during the football season. Kansas becomes a football school.
That weekend is now.
The Missouri Tigers will be visiting Lawrence tomorrow for the 113th installment of the classic rivalry that is now called the Border Showdown.
I am the one.
der Snowdown.
The rivalry is so intense that the two schools can't even agree on the overall series record. Missouri lists the overall record versus Kansas as 52-52-9, while Kansas lists its overall record as 53-51-9.
DANIEL BERK
DBERK@KANSAN.COM
The discrepancy came in 1960, when Kansas defeated Missouri 23-7 at Missouri, but later had to forfeit the game because it used an ineligible player. The NCAA gives credit to Kansas for the victory, but Missouri still claims the victory in its record books.
There is simply nothing better for Kansas and Missouri fans than this rivalry. Earlier in the season, when Kansas was preparing to face Kansas State, junior running back Jon Cornish referred to Kansas State as the team's second biggest rival.
No one had to ask who No.1 was
Whether the game is in Columbia, Mo., and the entire Faurot Field crowd is yelling
obscenities at the Kansas team or the game is in Lawrence, and the city is full of Muck Fizzou T-shirts, the rivalry is alive and well.
After Kansas defeated Missouri two years ago at Kansas, Jayhawk fans threw various objects at the Missouri team bus on the way out of Lawrence and let the Tigers have an earful for their loss.
On the flip side, Kansas no longer sends its band to Columbia, because Missouri fans threw whiskey bottles at the members.
When rivals such as Missouri and Kansas play each other, people always say throw out the record books. Truer words have never been spoken.
It doesn't matter if one team is 0-7 and the other is 7-0, the game is almost always guaranteed to be a classic battle.
Three seasons ago, Kansas was 2-6 on the season and lost to Missouri in Columbia, 36-12, and Missouri players were on the goalposts tearing them down with the student body. When it's Missouri vs. Kansas, a victory
is a victory despite how the other team is faring during the season.
Last season, Kansas' bowl chances were gone and there was nothing else to play for other than ruining Missouri's season. Kansas did win — on the road — and prevented Missouri from going to a bowl game and possibly sharing the Big 12 North Championship.
This season, Missouri is again atop the standings in the Big 12 North, and Kansas' bowl chances are fading quickly. But, the 2005 Jayhawks would like nothing more than to screw up Missouri's season once more, and a victory on Saturday could salvage Kansas' season and potentially lift the team to a bowl game.
The bottom line is there will be a lot to play for this Saturday. Memorial Stadium will be rocking and likely will approach a sellout crowd.
Houses across Missouri and Kansas will be divided for three and a half hours. In the end, either the Missouri team will have a bus ride home it will never forget, or the goalposts from Memorial Stadium will be floating in Potter Lake.
Either way, Kansas will be a football school for one weekend.

Showdown hits swimming, diving
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
...cience Tools
The Kansas soccer and football teams are not alone in preparation for this weekend's Border Showdown events. The Kansas swimming and diving team will also face Missouri in a dual meet tonight at Robinson Natatorium.
"I'm pumped," senior Lindsey Urbatchka said. "I can't wait." The Border Showdown rivalry always brings out the best in both teams, she said.
"It's a lot of emotions," Urbatcha said. "We're not going to back off."
Urbatchka said that it was important to keep emotions consistent and to focus on the little things that will make a big difference.
"The match-up is great," she said. "They're a dual meet team, but so are we."
Last year, Missouri squeaked away with a 157-144 victory over Kansas in Columbia. Mo., a disappointing loss for the Jayhawks.
The Jayhawks went 1-5 in Big 12 Conference swimming last season, and are facing a tough Tigers team to begin Big 12 competition this season.
Tonight will be the second time this season that the Jayhawks face a top-25 team, but Campbell said he thought it was good for the Jayhawks in terms of future goals for the season.
"Missouri is probably the most improved team in the country this season." Coach Clark Campbell said.
"It's been great having two top- 25 teams this early in the season," Campbell said. "Our goal all along is to be at that level come March."
Campbell said that Missouri has been recording "lightning quick times", but that Kansas wouldn't produce those types of times until January or February.
"We're going to have to over achieve," Campbell said. "Anything is possible."
The Jayhawks' previous dual meet was nearly two weeks ago, which could be beneficial because they are
less tired, Campbell said. Two weeks without a meet meant training intensely, he said. The team traveled to Free State High School last weekend and had a morning practice in a long-course pool, as opposed to the short-course pool at Robinson.
Urbatchka said that everything tonight would count, including exhibition swimmers.
"Everyone is a motivator." Urbatchka said.
On the diving front, Junior Shelby Noonan said she thought that the divers had taken big steps forward this year, and that the team was ready for Missouri tonight.
"We have some good meets behind us," Noonan said. "We have to be confident."
The Jayhawks didn't lose any senior divers at the end of last season and gained a lot of talent in the incoming freshman class this season, which has helped build the team. In addition, the team is very comfortable with second-year diving coach, Eric Elliot. The women are on the
same page and have a better understanding this year, Noonan said.
"Hannah (McMacken) has been a great impact also," Noonan said. "She brought so much encouragement coming in."
Noonan, who finished first in the three-meter diving competition against Minnesota three weeks ago, said in order to escape the 1-5 record within the Big 12 last year, the team would have to focus on a few little things this season.
Although Missouri has talented freshman divers, Noonan said she thought Kansas could handle the heat.
"Our meets were so close last year," Noonan said. "Touching the wall quicker and getting those couple extra points are things we can improve on that will make a big difference this year."
The Jayhawks begin the Border Showdown tonight at 6 in Robinson Natatorium.

Comets player comes out of the closet
HOUSTON — Houston Comets forward Sheryl Swoopes has disclosed that she is gay and in a committed relationship.
Swoopes said she currently lived with her partner, former Comets assistant coach Alisa Scott.
The three-time WNBA MVP said she never had feelings for a woman before Scott and didn't understand them when they began. But in the seven years since, she said she had been "hurting" while hiding her relationship.
She was married to high school sweetheart Eric Jackson and the two have an 8-year-old son, Jordan. Their divorce in 1999 had nothing to do with her being gay, Swoopes said.

Kansas men's golf coach Ross Randall said the progress of the men's golf team through the fall season was inconsistent to say the least.
Junior team captain Gary Woodland, the lone player to consistently put up encouraging scores, said the team had a lot of potential in its youth.
"We have proved that we have more than five guys that can compete," Woodland said. "There's no doubt in my mind that we are a top-25 golf team when we can put it all together."
Putting it together hasn't been a problem for Woodland. Coming off of a strong summer was the cure for what ailed a zero victory tournament record during the season. Woodland won the Kansas amateur this summer and also captured the individual championship at the Cleveland State Invitational on Sept. 13.
"That first tourney took a huge burden off my back," Woodland said. "It opened the flood gates for some solid solids and allowed me to play my game knowing that I won a tournament and relieved that extra load."
The team finished ninth out of 17 teams in the tournament, though.
Most recently, Kansas finished 17th out of 18 teams in the Prestige at PGA West in La Quinta, Calif.
"We have been disappointed with the last couple of performances," Randall said. "It's not often that usually four to five of them will play poorly. It was a strong field, and I felt we could be competitive."
Struggling to put together a blend of players who will be competitive in the conference is the main goal for the team.
Randall made it clear that Kansas is back to square one to find a good mixture of players. When the fall traveling season is finished, the team will get back to work on the fundamentals and work on boosting its confidence.
Regardless of the team's inconsistent play, one thing is for sure — the results are in the past.
"When we put everything together, we can be a really good team," Randall said. "For now, we have to regroup and suck it up and work hard. We need to get ourselves ready to compete for the next event and work over the semester and get ready to play well in the spring."

Jayhawks
CONTINUED FROM 1B
Nebraska (11-5-1, 5-2-1 Big 12) and Texas Tech (1-16-0, 0-8-0 Big 12) are the only teams left with Big 12 games remaining.
The pair's original match-up was canceled because of Hurricane Rita earlier this season and was rescheduled for Sunday.
Let the ifs begin.
If Nebraska beats Texas Tech, but loses to Iowa State (10-5-3, 5-3-1 Big 12) and Texas A&M loses to Baylor then the two teams are in place to share the conference title. But only if Kansas loses to Missouri and Colorado (9-6-3, 5-3-1 Big 12) falls to Texas Tech on Friday.
Kansas is not to be counted out, however. It could share in the Big 12 champion spot if Nebraska downs Iowa State and Colorado and Texas A&M each lose. Five Big 12 Co-Champions would result.
"It's frustrating because of all of the games earlier in the season," Francis said. "If we had done a better job with those games we could've won the conference outright."
"As many starters as we lost last year, that says a lot about our improvement this year."
Mark Francis Kansas Soccer Coach
At least Kansas is a lock for the Big 12 Tournament. Even a loss at home to the Tigers can't keep the Jayhawks from San Antonio, Texas. The conference's top eight teams play in the post season tournament every year.
After sharing the Big 12 Championship role last year, Francis didn't exactly see his team needing to claw its way through the end of the season to ensure making the tournament.
"As many starters as we lost last year, that says a lot about our improvement this year," Francis said.

"Any time you can add a win against a ranked team like Texas, that gives you bonus points toward the postseason," Bechard said.

"As long as we take care of what we can do, we can't control anyone else," he said.

Soccer
Entering the match off of a weekend sweep, Kansas has a slight advantage over a Missouri team that split the weekend.
Caroline Smith leads her offense with seven goals and seven assists. The forward needs just one goal to hit the 50-career goal mark. She already ranks as the No. 5 all-time Big 12 scorer.
Fellow senior forward Karfonta can take her hot streak out on the Tigers this afternoon. Karfonta knocked in both game winners last weekend.
Fans line the street to welcome home the Chicago White Sox after their arrival at Chicago's Midway Airport on Thursday, following their World Series victory against the Houston Astros.
Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, Julie Hanley, will likely start in goal for Kansas. Her .81 GAA is currently the best on the team.
"With Julie, she has gained more confidence with every game that she's played," Francis said. "She knows we have confidence in her."
Friday night proves to be the Jayhawks' favorite as the squad has not dropped a Friday game all season, going 7-0-1.

White Sox clinch victory, 1-0
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Wearing a wide, satisfied smile on a face flushed with pride, Ozzie Guillen stood off to the side by the third base line and simply watched his White Sox rejoice in the middle of the field.
Chicago's exuberant young manager might have enjoyed sprinting toward that cluster of jubilant players and leaping right into the fray.
He passed.
But don't think for a moment he didn't relish this long-overdue championship as much as every die-hard fan on the South Side.
"People thought I was going to be jumping around my players. I have to respect the opposite team," the 41-year-old Guillen said. "It went through my mind to say, 'I'm so glad to see my boys, my players jumping back and forth and celebrating this.' Because it was an amazing feeling seeing them like little kids."
CHICAGO completed a World Series sweep with a 1-0 victory against the Houston Astros Wednesday night, becoming the second consecutive set of Sox to end a title drought dating back to World War I.
Maybe the crosstown Cubs are next. For now, the White Sox rule the Windy City.
Their first title in 88 years didn't come easily, even in a
four-game sweep. The White Sox had to scratch and claw for every win this year, and October was no different.
That's what makes their dominant run through the postseason so remarkable. With stellar pitching, solid defense, timely hitting — and some help from
"We went to Boston, and then we went to Anaheim," Guillen said.
ship since 1918.
ship since 1903.
Chicago hadn't won it all since 1917, and hadn't reached the Series since '59. But thanks to MVP Jermaine Dye, slugger Paul Konerko and the rest, the White Sox will no longer be remembered for Shoeless Joe Jackson's Black Sox, who threw
Chicago completed a World Series sweep with a 1-0 victory against the Houston Astros Wednesday night, becoming the second consecutive set of Sox to end a title drought dating back to World War I.
"I told my players the last 11 games we have to win are the toughest ones."
Going back to the regular season, the White Sox won 16 of their final 17 games. They nearly squandered a 15 1/2-game lead in the AL Central before holding off Cleveland down the stretch, but that seems like a long time ago.
"They were calling us chokers, now they can call us champions," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said.
It's the same story as last year, when the Red Sox swept St. Louis for their first champion-
the 1919 Series against Cincinnati.
Now one team remains with a similar streak of full-
And another parallel is striking: Boston won its final eight games in the 2004 post-season, just as the White Sox did this year.
ity — and it's even longer. The Cubs have come up empty since 1908.
"The instant the Red Sox won last year, I thought maybe we're next," said White Sox owner Jerry Reindsor, posing with the trophy, cigar in mouth.
For the Astros, who captured their first pennant after 44 seasons in the National League, it was a difficult defeat to swallow. They were outscored by six runs, matching the New York Yankees' 1950 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies for the smallest margin in a Series sweep.
went the other way," said Houston's Craig Biggio, who reached the Fall Classic for the first time in his 18-year career. "I think it was more destiny for these guys than it was for us."
Now, Houston will hold its breath, waiting to see if 43-year-old Roger Clemens will put off retirement again for a chance at another run.
"All these games could've
The Series clincher was a typical win for the White Sox, with little-known players making key plays and maintaining their poise throughout.
Willie Harris came off the bench for a pinch-hit single against Brad Lidge in the eighth and scored the lone run on Dye's two-out single. Shortstop Juan Uribe made three outstanding plays on defense in the final two innings to preserve the lead, including a tumbling catch into the stands.
And again, they did it on the road. Baseball's best road team during the regular season, the White Sox wrapped up the division title in Detroit, then went 6-0 in the postseason outside Chicago and clinched three series away from home.
When it ended, Guillen, who agonized over losses this year, finally got to exhale.
“That’s the first time in my life my heart was pounding like crazy,” he said. “I was so excited. I said, ‘When this moment going to happen, a lot of people are waiting for this moment.’”

Chargers face 'must-win'
BY BERNIE WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO — A year ago, the San Diego Chargers were just starting an eight-game winning streak that would carry them to the AFC West title.
Look at them now. Reality seems to have caught up with the Bolts, who are talking about playing a must-win game even though they're heading into the season's midpoint.
"There's definitely a sense of urgency because we understand the situation we're in," quarterback Drew Brees said going into Sunday's home game against the Kansas City Chiefs. "Hey, it's 3-4 and we cannot afford to go out and blow another opportunity like we have."
The Chargers have lost as many games this year as they did all of last season, when they were 12-4. and it's because they've been unable to seal the deal in the fourth quarter.
The Chargers lost 20-17 at Philadelphia on Sunday after making two huge mistakes.
Quintin Mikell blew between a rookie and a veteran to block Nate Kaeding's field-goal attempt, and Matt Ware returned it 65 yards for the goahead touchdown with 2:25 left. San Diego wide receiver Reche Caldwell fumbled at the Philadelphia 19 with 1:34 left.
The Chargers also blew fourthquarter leads against Dallas in their homer, at Denver on Sept. 18 and at home against Pittsburgh on Oct. 10.
"This is a similar situation as when we were sitting at 0-2 and 2-3," Brees said. "It's as close to a must-win situation as you can get, and I think we responded well on those occasions, so this is no different."
When the Chargers were 0-2, they beat the New York Giants 45-23. When they were 2-3, they won at Oakland, 27-14.
The problem is, the Chargers are playing a tougher schedule this year. In their last four games they've played three of the four teams that reached the conference championship games last season. They routed New England, then lost to the Steelers and Eagles.
San Diego has played only one team with a losing record Oakland and its opponents are a combined 26-18.

Lucky for Rafael Palmeiro, he doesn't play baseball in Italy. If he did, he might be spending the offseason in jail instead of at home.
The same goes for Jason Giambi. All the sorries in the world might not have spared him from the slammer.
The Italians take their drug testing seriously — so seriously that some athletes may start thinking twice about going to Turin in a few months for the Winter Olympics.
Think being stripped of a medal is embarrassing? How about being strip-searched, too?
That's conceivably what could
happen in February when the International Olympic Committee holds its winter carnival in the northern Italian city of Turin.
In the past, all Olympic athletes had to worry about was losing a medal or being suspended if they tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. That changes in Turin, where they could face jail time under a strict Italian law that makes doping a criminal act.
And it's not just talk. Recently, some cyclists were given suspended prison sentences and fined after police raided their hotel rooms during the 2001 Giro d'Italia and found syringes containing insulin and steroids.
In fact, the idea of skiers and skaters being led away in handcuffs or police raiding the Olympic Village worries the IOC so much that it has lobbied the Italian government — unsuccessfully so far — to impose a moratorium on the law and let it police the games itself.
"You think American professional hockey players, paid in the millions, will risk being put in handcuffs to come play in Turin? Come on, let's be realistic." IOC member Mario Pescante told a Turin newspaper.
Pescante should have some pull because he is also the Italian government's supervisor for the Turin games.
But so far the Italians aren't budging.
That's likely to get the Turin folks a scolding from the IOC
when it meets Friday in Switzerland to discuss the upcoming games. The IOC contends Italian organizers have promised all along that the law would be suspended for the Olympics.
"This is not a new issue," IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies said. "This has been on the table since the host city contract was signed nearly seven years ago. The onus of resolving the issue is in the hands of the games' organizers."
This is the same IOC that, along with the World Anti-Doping Association, has touted itself as both the authority and the ultimate hardliner on the use of drugs in sports.
WADA chief Dick Pound has mocked baseball for its testing program.

Jackson countersues former producer
LOS ANGELES — A former associate who is suing Michael Jackson has been accused by the entertainer of concealing and misappropriating funds.
Jackson filed the cross-complaint against Marc Schaffel on Oct. 18. The original lawsuit, filed in November, claimed that Jackson owed Schaffel $800,000 for producing two 2003 television specials and $2.3 million for payments and loans during the past three years. In the latest filing, Jackson said Schaffel failed to pay production costs of one of Jackson's songs. Jackson also alleged Schaffel kept $250,000 in sculptures. Schaffel's lawyer dismissed the accusation, calling it "another ridiculous claim"

Others do what they can to help you along your path, though someone will play devil's advocate. Listen, think and reflect rather than take comments personally. Others, too, have ideas, which might be very different. Feel free to re-organize your finances, or start using a latent gift or talent. You will view money much differently as the year passes. A sweet tooth or some other indulgence could become excessive. If you are single, you will need to decide if you want to keep that status. You will meet someone quite enticing. If you are attached, add more positive energy to your bond. Also, value your sweeter's views. VIRGO points the way.

★★★★★ Your creativity saves the day. What is interesting is that although you solve a problem, you might be changing your mind internally about the pros and cons. Be careful with a nefarious new person. He or she might be exotic, but also a problem. Tonight. Understand where others are coming from.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
******* A partner might be more dominant than you would like. Choose not to have the War of the Roses. Just go along for now. Your ideas, goals and attachments are in the process of change. Give your self space. Tonight: Be with your favorite person.
★★★ You might need to let others make their choices. You certainly are not in the power seat right now. Be smart - let everyone else play their cards. You might have to revise your opinions or perspective as a result. Tonight: Go along for the ride.

Showdown rivalry a Kansas opportunity
KU Blitz
Kansas vs. Missouri Noon, Saturday, Memorial Stadium
ATAGLANCE
After a perfect 3-0 start in the nonconference, Kansas has lost all four of its conference games to fall below. 500. The Jayhawks have averaged just nine points of offense during their losing streak.
LAST TIME OUT
The Kansas special teams unit gave Colorado 23 points last week in route to a 44-13 loss to Colorado. The loss was the biggest loss of the season for Kansas. The Kansas offense did have an improved effort last week, compared to the first three games of the conference season. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson passed for 291 yards and a touchdown.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
291
291 Combined completions for quarterbacks Brian Luke and Adam Barmann against Kansas State last week.
The Kansas linebackers. The trio of seniors will have the heavy responsibility of stopping Missouri quarterback Brad Smith. They have been able to do that the previous two seasons, en route to victories against Missouri. Senior linebacker Nick Reid, who leads the conference in tackles, will lead the charge of stopping the Missouri rushing attack.

75 Number of tackles for senior linebacker Nick Reid, who leads the Conference.
LOOKING FORWARD
A victory would keep Jayhawks' bowls on life support. Kansas needs three more victories to gain bowl eligibility, but with No. 2 Texas still on the schedule, Kansas can't drop anymore games. A loss would leave the Jayhawks playing for pride in their final three games.
KEY TO VICTORY
Sustaining Drives. The Kansas offense, under Swanson, will need to help keep Missouri quarterback Brad Smith off the field.
Swanson was able to pass the ball effectively last week, but the Kansas rushing attack will need to be successful in running time off the clock.
KU
Kansas
OFFENSE
The KU offense finally put together a respectable performance last week against Colorado. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson passed for nearly 300 yards and the offense accumulated more than 350 yards. But the offense
scored just 13 points.The offense will need to continue moving forward to have a legitimate chance this week. Swanson will need to minimize interceptions — he had three last week.
DEFENSE KU KU KU KU
The Kansas defense has done nearly everything this season except score a touchdown. The 44 points allowed against Colorado last week is not an accurate depiction of the performance of the defense this season. The special teams unit allowed 16 points and opened up another score. In reality, the KU defense held the Buffalo offense to 304 yards. The Jayhawks are the second-best rushing defense in the country and will certainly have their hands full this weekend when they face one of the most versatile quarterbacks in the country in Missouri senior Brad Smith. If Kansas can shut down Smith for a third straight season, Kansas may pull off the upset.
KU
After being nearly flawless during the team's first six games, the special teams unit cost the Jayhawks the game last week. The unit contributed to 23 Colorado points, putting the
SPECIALTEAMS
game out of reach. Sophomore kicker Scott Webb was the lone bright spot, connecting on both his field goal attempts. Webb is 10-12 in field goals on the season. The unit will need to continue to get positive production on punt returns from junior cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon. Gordon is averaging 11.4 yards per punt return.
COACHES
KU KU
For the past two seasons, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has had Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel's number. Mangino has found
a way to neutralize Smith and get the offensive production needed to beat Missouri. If Mangino can continue to receive improved offensive production and the Kansas defense continues to play well, he may walk off the field victorious again.
— Ryan Colaianni
Missouri OFFENSE
Missouri senior quarterback Brad Smith has been named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week twice already this season and was named National Offensive Player of the Week last week. Missouri changed its offensive scheme from last season to feature more of a spread attack. Smith will be in the backfield by himself on numerous plays this weekend. Look for Smith to run the ball often. Tony Temple and Marcus Woods will split time at running back this weekend. Temple came to Missouri as one of the highest-ranked recruits in the program's history, but has struggled to stay healthy — he played in one game last year.
DEFENSE
DEFEND
The Tigers have been looking for a linebacker to replace All Big 12 defender
James Kinney. Kinney graduated last season and Missouri has struggled to find linebackers to contain the opposition's passing attack. Adding to Kinney's departure was the sudden exit of linebacker David Richard. Richard left the team nearly a month ago, after seeing significant playing time in the team's first few games. On the defensive line, Missouri features one of the best pass rushers in the conference in junior Brian Smith. Smith has already accumulated 12.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks on the season. Senior Jason Simpson is also a player to watch on defense. The safety from The Woodlands, Texas, is second on the team in tackles after being named Preseason All-Big 12.
SPECIALTEAMS
Sophomore running back Marcus Woods has
returned a punt for a touchdown, to go along with a separate 71-yard return, which did not reach pay dirt. Woods is a legitimate threat to break a long run every time he receives a punt. He averages nearly 27 yards per return. Adam Crossett handles all the punting and kicking duties for Missouri. He is 11-15 on field goals and 26-28 on extra points. He averages 43 yards per punt. Crossett became a hero to Missouri fans two weeks ago in Columbia, Mo., when he kicked the winning field goal in overtime to beat Iowa State.Temple will handle kick returns and averages 25 yards per return.
COACHES
the next day, people are calling for his job. Missouri qualified for bowl game two years ago. In season, the Tigers entered season ranked in the top but finished 5-6 and missed out on a bowl game. Pinkel has the team off to a 5-2 start, which ties it for the lead in the Big 12 North division. Pinkel has accumulated a 22-25 record in his five years at Missouri.
— Daniel Bork
Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel is a tough coach to figure out. One day, Missouri fans are ready to put him into the hall of fame and the next day, people are calling for his job. Missouri qualified for a bowl game two years ago. Last season, the Tigers entered the season ranked in the top 25, but finished 5-6 and missed out on a bowl game. Pinkel has the team off to a 5-2 start, which ties it for the lead in the Big 12 North division. Pinkel has accumulated a 22-25 record in his five years at Missouri. — Daniel Berk
ATAGLANCE
Missouri comes into the game on a three-game winning streak after starting the season 2-2. Missouri's most costly loss came at home to New Mexico 45-35. The Tigers only other loss came at home to No. 2 Texas. Missouri now finds itself on top of the Big 12 North division and is only one victory away from qualifying for a bowl game.
LAST TIME OUT
Missouri senior quarterback Brad Smith put his team on his shoulders last weekend when Missouri defeated Nebraska at home 41-24. Smith accumulated more than 400 yards of total offense against a Nebraska defense that was ranked first in the country in rush defense. Missouri's defense came to life in the second half against Nebraska when it shut out the Commuskers.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Freshman Chase Coffman and sophomore Martin Rucker, the Tigers top two tight ends. If the Kansas defense stops the run and forces Smith to air out the ball, look for him to connect with his tight ends. The Colorado tight ends combined for three touchdowns last week against Kansas, and Rucker is a Mackey Award finalist, which is given to the nation's top tight end. Coffman is a true freshman, who has 266 yards and two touchdowns on the season
5 QUICK FACTS
1-2 Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel's record against Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
113
113 The number of times Missouri and Kansas have played each other in football. It is the second longest rivalry in college football, behind Minnesota and Wisconsin.
19 The number of rushing touchdowns on the season for Missouri in just seven games.
19
142 The average amount of rushing yards the Missouri defense allows per game.
142
11,749 The number of yards Smith has accumulated during his career. This weekend, he could pass current NFL starters Drew Brees and Byron Leftwich on the NCAA Division 1-A career total offense leaders.
11.749
LOOKING FORWARD
A victory would make Missouri bowl-eligible early in the season. A loss would damage Missouri's hopes of winning the Big 12 North and leave it looking for a victory in its remaining games at Colorado, followed by a home game against Baylor and another road contest at Kansas State.
Run, run, run. Something has to give this weekend. One of the best rushing offenses in the country meets one of the best rushing defenses in the country. Look for whoever wins that battle to win the game as well.

Victory against Missouri gives postseason hope

With one 13-3 victory, the Kansas Jayhawks may have rediscovered their season and increased their hope of advancing to the postseason.
Kansas' victory against Missouri moved the Jayhawks to 4-4 on the season, 1-3 in the Big 12 Conference. The team must win at

That likely means home victories against Nebraska on Saturday and Iowa State after Thanksgiving. The Jayhawks also play at No. 2 Texas on Nov. 12.
Going into Saturday, a bowl berth seemed unlikely. Kansas had lost four straight and was getting little production from its offense, despite featuring one of the top defenses in the nation.
Even after suffering its worst loss of the year, 44-13 at Colorado, Kansas was poised all week in practice, coach Mark Mangino said. "They talked about winning the game last Sunday. They were bent on doing it. They are tired of not winning," Mangino said. "They played today like a bunch of determined young men that were

The goalpost dismemberment that began on the field at Memorial Stadium ended at 13th and Tennessee streets, where an officer from the KU Public Safety Office pepper-sprayed five to 10 people, three KU students said.
Brian Bizjack, Tulsa junior, said a group of people waded into Potter Lake after Saturday's football game and removed two of the longest goalposts.
"We were going to Mass. Street," Bi
ziack said. "I wanted to throw it in the Kansas River."
Bizjack said he and others were carrying the post along 13th Street when at least three police officers arrived and told them to drop the post.
One officer grabbed the front of the post while another officer held the back of it, and the group dropped the post.
Some people who had been carrying the dropped goal post walked across 13th Street to aid another group of people carrying another post, Bizjack said.

Senator critical of U.S. policy

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
U. S. Senator Joseph Biden, D-Del., said that the United States had alienated itself from the rest of the world, leaving the nation less secure
"Some of our leaders have forgotten about the power of our example," Biden said.
Biden, a possible Democratic candidate for the 2008 presidential election, proposed his plans for policy changes to an audience of about 75 people Friday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
Biden spoke as part of the Dole Institute's Contenders Series, which is intended to give possible candidates for the 2008 presidential election a forum to discuss issues. The KU Young Democrats co-sponsored the event.
Biden said there were four main aspects of the Bush administration's international policy that he would like to change. He said he would rebuild international alliances, implement a more preventative strategy against possible threats, reconsider when and if military force was appropriate, and alter the government's nation-building strategy.
"When it comes to wars of choice, I think there have to be cooler heads that say 'think twice.'"
Biden said the United States must rebuild alliances with other nations. While America has a strong military, global issues like rogue states and infectious diseases can't be addressed by the military and

need an international approach, Biden said. "None of these have respect for borders," Biden said.
"When it comes to wars of choice, I think there have to be cooler heads that say 'twink twice,'" he said.
Biden said international cooperation could help reduce the need for force.
Examples of preventative strategies would be finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction, surprise on-site inspections and allowing the seizure of suspicious cargo at sea.
Biden said he also wanted to improve America's approach to nation-building. The current administration had been confronted with two nation-building projects: Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We have failed thus far at both," he said.
Biden has been active in the Senate for 33 years and may seek the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination if he thinks that he can appeal to a majority of Democrats and raise enough money to campaign.

The University of Kansas' National Student Association committee endorsed the position of seven students who met with Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe about racism on the part of local landlords. The students wanted to encourage the University to stop discriminatory housing. The resolution passed 6-2, and went on to the All Student Council, which was the equivalent of today's Student Senate.
President of today's Student Senate. Passed in the heat of the civil rights era, it was the goal of the students to make the University an example of equality by showing that bigotry would not tolerated when it came to housing. Copies of the resolution, which eventually passed, were sent to all members of the faculty and to all campus organizations.

The home, commissioned by Mark Epard and Kathy Porsch, was built of limestone and zinc and had a slate roof. Rockhill said that native Kansas ingredients were his inspiration.
The house also featured a library shaped like a telescope and a tower, which took three years to complete. Rockhill and his team had previously designed nearly a dozen other buildings in the Lawrence area.

ENROLLMENT
Problems with enrollment fade with time
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After some initial problems with online enrollment at the University of Kansas, the system is now running smoothly and makes enrolling a quicker, more efficient process for students. Students using Enroll and Pay often had to deal with slow Web page load times when trying to enroll.
The University ran diagnostic tests on the Enroll and Pay system last year to determine the causes of the slowness, said Rich Morrell, associate vice provost. "This is a dynamic system and it has so many different parts to it that just about the time we think we have it working well something changes," Morrell said.
Before 2003, students had to enroll in person at Strong Hall. They were given a five-minute window of time to enroll at one of 12 computer stations and often had to wait in long lines. With the ability to enroll online, students are not confined to the hours of operation at Strong Hall. Now about 250 students can enroll online simultaneously. Morrell said.
In January 2004, the Enroll and Pay system sometimes malfunctioned, which is common when dealing with any complex technology, Morrell said. The system was sometimes down for a few hours at a time as a result high traffic, Morrell said. It was difficult to configure Enroll and Pay to handle the number of students accessing it, especially during the Add/Drop period when more students have simultaneous access, Morrell said. Morrell said that the University is learning how to deal with the system and had solved most of the problems. He said the main problem was students figuring out how to navigate
the online enrollment.
the online environment.
Kim Dickey, Wichita junior, worked as an orientation adviser this summer to help enroll incoming freshmen. She said she encountered problems with computers crashing and long load times for pages on the Enroll and Pay Web site. Morrell said he never received notice of problems and this semester there had been no instances of malfunctions that he was aware of.
"If there were problems they must have been pretty quickly addressed," Morrell said. Hannah Luetke-Stahlman, Olathe 'senior, said she started attending the University before online enrollment was started and preferred the online enrollment. "Now you can just get online and do it when you have time." Luetke-Stahlman said. Morrell said online enrollment benefits students who are more spread out, such as those at the University of Kansas Medical Center and the Edwards Campus.

Party switch could help Kline opponent
STATE
TOPEKA — Paul Morrison's decision to go from moderate Republican to Democrat and to take on Attorney General Phill Kline next year could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
A friendship between Democrats and former moderate Republicans like Morrison, the
longtime Johnson County district attorney who wants to challenge Kline, the darling of conservative Republicans.
The decision last week to switch parties shows the GOP isn't big enough for moderates and conservatives, said Joe Alistrup, head of Kansas State University's political science department.
The Kansas GOP's divided fraternity creates a three-party state conservative Republicans, moderate Republicans and Democrats.
"When the tent is no longer big enough to house one part of the party, those type of people
tend to go shopping elsewhere," Aistrup said.
Underdog Democrats have capitalized on the GOP rift, drawing votes from moderates, most notably in 2002, which is why Kathleen Sebelius is governor today.

The world is becoming increasingly computerized, and the University of Kansas is following the trend.
Many departments of the University either have moved online or are in the process of doing so. University officials say the online programs are quicker and more efficient and allow students to access the University's resources from anywhere they can reach the Internet.
This year, the University stopped sending out applications in its viewbook, which is the packet of information sent to prospective students. Instead students are asked to visit the University of Kansas Web site to apply.
Kansas web site to apply Rich Morrell, associate vice provost, said online applications speed the application process and reduce human error.
"They take their time and it's more accurate." Morrell said.
more accurate, more useful.
In paper applications, there is room for error both on the student's part and by the Office of Admissions, Morrell said. Handwriting on the applications is sometimes illegible or inaccurate.
Last year 76 percent of applicants to the University applied online, said Lisa Kress, director of admissions. Morrell said he wanted to raise that number to about 90 percent this year. Applications have been available online since 2002.
2002. Donna Hultine, director of the Parking Department, said the department is working with the Computer Center to enable students to purchase permits and pay tickets online with credit cards. Currently students can buy permits online but they cannot pay tickets that way.
Hultine said she hoped to have ticket payments online by next fall. "It would be a really nice option," Hultine said.
Susan Zwacek, director of instructional development and support, said the Blackboard Learning System had been another benefit of computerizing the University. The University first offered Blackboard in Fall 2000.
Zvacek said Blackboard made educational materials more accessible to students and enhanced communication between teachers and students through message boards.

VOTING DAY
Controversial topics top ballots
BY DAVID CRARY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gay rights, teen abortion, Arnold Schwarzenegger's prestige. These and other volatile topics are adding spice to off-year elections in three states where voters will be considering statewide ballot measures on Nov. 8.
As is often the case, California has the most intriguing mix of propositions _ including four backed by Schwarzenegger, the Republican governor, to curb the power of the Democratic-controlled Legislature and the state's public employee unions. Another measure, notable in a state with liberal leanings, would require parents to be notified when a minor seeks an abortion.
to make budget cuts; make teachers work five years instead of two to pass probation; strip lawmakers of their power to carry out redistricting, and require public employee unions to get members' permission before dues could be used for political purposes.
Schwarzenegger is backing proposals all trailing in the polls that would cap state spending and give the governor greater authority
Texas voters are expected to approve a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriages — a step already taken in 18 other states. In
More than 30 states have parental notification or consent laws.
Schwarzenegger also supports the abortion measure, which would require doctors to give parents or guardians written notice 48 hours before performing an abortion on a minor. Adults would not have to consent, but sponsors hope the requirement would reduce California's teen abortion rate — the nation's fourth-highest — by involving parents in the decision.
Maine, a conservative alliance is urging voters to quash a new law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Gay-rights activists opposing the ban have produced television ads featuring direct appeals by same-sex couples for marriage rights.
In Texas, the proposed gay-marriage ban is the only high-profile statewide item on the ballot, and both sides are concerned about possible low voter turnout.
"We think the vast majority of people in Texas are with us but that doesn't help if they don't show up," said Kelly Shackelford of the Liberty Legal Institute, which supports the ban.
"We are not second-class citizens, and we need the same resources and rights available to heterosexual couples to protect our families," said the Rev. Carolyn Mobley, an associate
pastor at the Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church, appearing with her partner in one of the ads.
Massachusetts is the only state allowing such marriages; Vermont and Connecticut have approved same-sex civil unions. Texas law already prohibits same-sex marriages, but supporters of the amendment say a constitutional ban would guard that law from judicial challenges.
The measure dealing with gay rights in Maine resulted from a petition campaign by conservatives upset that lawmakers expanded the state's human rights act to address anti-gay bias.
The act already prohibited discrimination based on race, gender and other factors; it was broadened this year to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment, housing, credit, public accommodations and education.

Former space director testifies
Former Kansas Cosmosphere director Max Ary is seen in this 2002 photo. Ary testified Friday at his theft trial that he sometimes traded his own space and astronaut artifacts to obtain items for the museum. Ary also is charged with fraud and money laundering for allegedly stealing and selling items that belonged to the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center.
Director charged with fraud, laundering
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — A former space museum president testified Friday at his theft trial that student volunteers mistakenly counted his personal collection of space items as part of a museum's inventory.
Max Ary, who co-founded the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center and led it for more than 26 years, is charged with 19 federal counts, including fraud, theft and money laundering. He is accused of stealing and selling items that belonged to the Hutchinson space museum.
"At no time while employed at the Cosmosphere did I ever intend to cheat or do anything improper for the Cosmosphere," Ary told jurors.
Ary recounted how in the late 1970s, when the Cosmosphere's collection was being assembled, he would often take students with him to pick up space hardware NASA no longer wanted. He said the teenage volunteers also inventoried Ary's own artifacts — items used to start the museum's collection.
Under cross examination, Ary identified many items prosecutors contend were stolen as actually being part of the original collection he brought to the Hutchinson museum. He said obtained his collection entirely through trade or gifts.
"It is hard to have documentation when you didn't buy anything," he said.
Ary also testified that he often used some of his own artifacts to barter for items for the Cosmosphere.
He cited as an example obtaining 10 Apollo hand controllers, to use on simulators at the museum's space camp, by trading a small rocket engine that was part of his collection.
Ary testified that he began collecting space artifacts while
working at the Noble Planetarium in Fort Worth, Texas. Photos of him using many of those artifacts while working there were introduced into evidence.
When NASA was disbanding the Apollo program that took men to the moon, Ary said he thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance for a museum to obtain a large collection in a short time.

Gorbachev
"This system was not working," Gorbachev said. "It was rusting, to say the least."
Through a translator, Gorbachev talked about the difficulties of the Soviet Union's breakup. He also compared the lessons he learned from overseeing the Soviet transition to similar changes happening today.
He said when Russia was going through "perestroika," the period of economic change before the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, people were critical of the Soviet leaders. Gorbachev, who was relatively young, had to overcome the resistance to the government.
He said change does not
come easy and ensuring democracy and freedom requires patience. These are lessons America needs to keep in mind as the world's superpower, Gorbachev said.
"It took you Americans 200 years to build up your democracy, and you want us to speed up?" he asked the crowd.
He also said the world must improve relations with Islamic nations. The United States must understand the goals of the Islamic world and maintain a respectful dialogue, not just accuse Muslims of fundamentalism and terrorism.

Pepper spray CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
A police officer crossed the street and grabbed the middle of the post, he said.
Between 30 seconds and two minutes later, the officer sprayed five to 10 people, they said.
spray, he said. He was told the officer felt like he was being "charged."
Those carrying the post continued toward Massachusetts Street and the officer warned them that he would spray them with pepper spray if they failed to drop the post, Bizjack, Chris Kavanaugh, Wichita sophomore, and Julian Grass, Mattoon, Ill., junior, said.
Ralph Oliver, chief of the KU Public Safety Office, said he had not seen the written report, but he had been told that a number of people were carrying a goal post and an officer with the KU Public Safety Office used pepper spray, he said.
Oliver said he assumed that meant someone might have rushed at the officer.
An investigation will be conducted to determine whether the officer properly used the pepper spray, Oliver said.
Pepper spray is considered force and must meet protocol for the use of force, he said.
Kavanaugh said he was one of the people hit by the cloud of pepper spray while carrying the post.
His eyes hurt for 20 minutes, he said.
"I think it was inappropriate to spray." Kavanaugh said.
While the office gave the group fair warning, Kavana-augh said, he thought the officer should have avoided using pepper spray.
"We were just showing school spirit by taking the posts to Mass. Street where we all hang out."
Grass also helped carry a post from Potter Lake.
Police followed both groups from Potter Lake, and at one point an officer tackled a person carrying an orange pylon, he said.

SAY A LITTLE PRATHER FOR YOU
After these messages
Between the time you wake up and eat your cereal to the time you turn off "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," how many advertisements do you think you have been exposed to? According to the Newspaper Association of America, the average American is exposed to more than 3,000 advertising messages in one day.
While this may seem like an outrageous number, just think about your day from start to finish.
Listening to the radio, reading any newspaper, logging on to the Internet, watching television or reading US Weekly at the Student Recreation Fitness Center constitutes exposure to the media and advertising.
Maybelline mascara promises "Longer, fuller lashes." Victoria's Secret promises "fuller, perkier breasts." Neutrogena promises "natural looking makeup."
With such a sensory overload, one can become accustomed to advertisements and come to accept them or brush them off. But, they may have more of an affect on you than you know.
The goal of longer, fuller, perkier and better is a nice way of saying "you aren't good enough the way you are." Your lashes aren't long or full enough, your breasts could use a little oomph and since when did makeup look

natural at all? Facial skin is blotchy, pimply and has a tendency to be the same color as the rest of your bodily skin.
I own the aforementioned products because I want to put my best face forward and accentuate my best features.
There are times, however, when I see a perfectly airbrushed model and feel a slight pang of inadequacy.
This feeling is the realization that I will never acquire impossible perfection combined with the fear that I will be compared subconsciously or consciously to the model with cleavage spilling out on the cover of Cosmopolitan.
By no means am I advocating the burning of pushup bras or the boycotting of makeup companies. I am merely drawing attention to
messages that bombard you, as a consumer, in your daily life.
They may simply seem like great catch phrases,but the repetitive nature of advertisements has a lasting effect.
Advertisements are a great way to sell a product, but they also serve as a means to implant an impractical ideal into a nation's psyche.
The American Psychological Association conducted a study in 2000 on the effects of advertising on children.
"Children under the age of eight are unable to critically comprehend televised advertising messages and are prone to accept advertiser messages as truthful, accurate and unbiased," according to the research. This same source stated that advertisers spent more than $12 million in campaigns targeted toward the youth.
This is abuse of developing young minds and is detrimental to society's perception of human worth.
There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself with makeup and using beauty products but know that a makeup free face has its appeal and that no push-up bra can continually perk up your self-esteem. You are the same great person in sweats as you are in your Sunday best.

STAND UP!
While Fall Break was just a refreshing vacation from school for most you, I left my visit to Chicago with more questions than answers.
I had just turned 21 and I knew it was going to be an unforgettable break, but I never expected to end up outside of a bar at 4 a.m., crying with my best friend, wondering if life had passed me by.
Don't start a rush-lationship
My friends from back home and I had not seen each other in a while, because we were all in different places, doing our own things, but it was good to see them all there that night. We had about 40 to 50 people in our group.
I was one of the few single guys there. So, looking around, seeing all my friends with their girlfriends, some even with kids now. I got to thinking.
I have gone to four weddings this year and I'm already going to a couple next summer.
I couldn't shake them. Maybe it was time for me to start dating seriously.
This might be the last time my friends and I get to do this together. These thoughts ran through my head all night.
It seems like every relationship I have been in, the girl has had higher expectations than I did, and all I ended up doing was disappointing her. Every girl, since she was little, has had that classic Romeo and Juliet-type fantasy.
This can be blamed on Hollywood and its unrealistic approach to romance. All I have ever dreamed about in a relationship can be summed up in the lyrics of "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.

JOEL SIMONE opinion@kansan.com
Nothing over-the-top or extravagant, just something relaxed with a person who makes you smile.
Relationships seem to move faster through your college years than any other time in your life.
I think that most people are not ready for a relationship when they begin them and that is why break-ups have become so common.
There are certain things that guys in relationships do that I have refused to do, and that is why I am on the outside looking in.
One day, you are all about each other, and then next, you cannot stand to walk on the same side of the street as the person.
I do not do that daily call, "just to say hello." I cannot have a phone conversation for more than 10 minutes.
Also, I refuse going shopping with girls, because they make it an all day adventure out of what should be a 20-minute errand. These are just some little
things, but trust me, they add up.
But sometimes I can't help wonder if doing all those little annoying things might pay off in the end.
It's tough to look at all your friends with girlfriends, and not feel a little left out.
A lot of people associate having a serious relationship with growing up, but I don't fully buy into that yet.
I feel more like trial-and-error, and the valuable experiences you get from them are more important than just the success of finding yourself in a relationship.
We're still in college, and though a lot of you are about to graduate, don't go rushing and doing something that you are not ready for.
Don't take the track star approach in relationships, jumping from one to the next without being able to enjoy being single. It's nice to go out and know you have no strings attached to you.
But for the small percentage of you who have actually found someone special, all I can say is, it must be nice. I hope they are worth it.
From someone who has let every good girl in his life slip away, let me tell you this: You'll never miss that special someone until they're gone, and that is reality.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Haunted house mischaracterized
Mr. Garcia, my name is Troy Covey, the senior pastor of Solomon's Porch Church. I am the "jerk" director you mentioned in your colorful letter to the editor about our haunted house. I haven't had much time to respond because of the overwhelming success of Nightmare so I'll be brief.
Did you really think you could get away with making false statements and accusations on a fair, balanced and truth-seeking media source? I will clarify and set the record straight on just a few of the many maligned statements you have made.
1. We except credit cards, checks and cash.
2. There is a cast of more than 150 actors and technicians each night, and there was more face paint and things flying at you in the dark than any other haunted house in town.
3. No one "forced" you to do anything, Mr. Garcia. We could never get away with that.
4. The entire cast, crew and survey team (more than 250 each night) volunteers to work; virtually no one is paid! They are all working to build our deeply needed youth center here in midtown where there are few options for the youth.
5. Over-zealous religious people? Are you aware that there are people on the cast and crew who do not have Christian beliefs? In fact, one man would defend his
I'm truly saddened your experience was not a desirable one. However, thousands did enjoy it immensely and over 250 people have received help from our counselors.
agnosticism aggressively. Though this is the case, we all work in harmony fighting for a cause: awareness. A number of our cast and crew would have real problems with you assertions.
6. The money you paid was a donation. Read the ticket.
7. Less than 2 percent of people who have experienced the Nightmare thought that it was a bad idea, so I guess you are really the minority here, Mr. Garcia. But this is America and the minority should have a voice.
this letter) I'm viewing a release form with your signature. The first sentence on this form says "Warning! Graphic depiction of real life trauma and violence!" How did you miss that?
One more thing Mr. Garcia, the entire show is approximately 25 minutes long. Why did it take you 25 minutes to decide you wanted your money back after stating you were offended by one of the first rooms?
Lastly, Mr. Garcia, you seemed to be an intelligent man after speaking to you on the phone the other day, however, I still cannot fathom after three attempts on our part to prepare you for what you were about to see (ticket desk, waiver, video) how you missed it.
Your actions could be likened to going to a restaurant and ordering a sandwich. You took a bite and said "I don't think I like this," another bite and said, "I really don't like this and I shouldn't have to pay for it!"
I'm truly saddened your experience was not a desirable one. Thousands did enjoy it intensely and more than 250 people have received help from our counselors. The Nightmare is half the price, and twice the show in town. Come and experience it with us!
Then, while finishing the sandwich and licking your fingers you said "I really didn't like the sandwich and I want my money back!"
Just a quick thanks as well. Mr. Garcia, for calling every news outlet in the community. I have taken calls all day, and any press is good press!

My room flooded and I really enjoy apple pies from McDonald's.
I just saw my roommate topless in the kitchen, and she didn't even care.
I know the person who found the Homecoming Medallion and she is really cool and really smart.

So, I just helped my large guy friend put on a red, lacy bra.
A note for all the smokers out there: Smoking does not make you cool, it gives you heart disease and cancer!
This is for the boys who play tennis outside of Robin-

and are all chiseled. Thank you. Thank you so much.
You are my eye-candy every day.
Whelp, Eric Jorgensen's got another opinion column in the paper. Better call in and make fun of him for it even though I haven't read it yet.
Who is Eric Jorgensen paying to keep writing in the paper?
Guy 1: Did you know that an apple is nature's toothbrush? Because, um...
Guy 2: No! No! You gotta say it in the voice!
I was moving stuff around for the Linguistics department the other day, and I wondered to myself, is a tiny computer screen considered a baby monitor?
Yeah, can you put the Bitch and Moan column from the 20th up on the Web site? It's kind of hard to cut and paste it to my blog to make fun of it because of the new guy. Editor's note: Oh yeah. I make fun of a student publication on my blog. I'm the epitome of cool.
There. I said it.
I just went to an extra class today because I needed somewhere to sleep.

I'm watching One Crazy Summer on Comedy Central, and John Cusack has a popped collar. So, maybe it is kind of cool to pop your collar.
It is my opinion that US magazine has way too many exclamation points.

HURRICANE WILMA
FEMA helps hospital relief
BY MELISSA TRUJILLO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PLANTATION, Fla. — A week after Hurricane Wilma, more than 1 million Florida homes are still without power and many doctors' offices remain closed, leaving hospitals swamped as the only source of medical care in some communities.
"You can't get any regular doctors on the phone. You can't get anything filled," said Tim Swett, 41. He waited five hours at one emergency room and finally left without help for a back problem he had aggravated while cleaning up his mother's yard.
It wasn't until he tried another hospital, where disaster teams were set up in tents to handle minor injuries, that he saw a doctor.
to help ease the medical crunch, the Federal Emergency Management Agency set up disaster medical assistance teams at four hospitals to help people with minor injuries, prescription medicine or those trying to follow up on routine medical care.
At Westside Regional Medical Center in Plantation, a team had seen 190 patients — including Swett — by Sunday morning after opening Thursday. The hospital had twice its normal traffic in the days after Wilma hit, said Chief Executive Earl H. Denning.
"They were being overrun," said Bill Wallace, who is commanding a team of 35 doctors, nurses and others working out of four tents set up in the hospital's parking lot.
hospitals' parish facilities. Wilma was the eighth hurricane to strike or swipe Florida in 15 months. The storm killed 21 people in the state after battering Jamaica, Haiti and Mexico with strong wind and rain, and then tearing across the Gulf and Florida's southern peninsula. In all, 38 deaths were blamed on the hurricane.
Memorial revisits Parks' legacy
DIVERSITY
BY SAMIRA JAFARI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Rosa Parks was remembered Sunday by hundreds of mourners for her defiant act on a city bus that inspired the civil rights movement and helped pave the way for other blacks, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
WWW.SOCIALISTPRESS.COM
Cascades of roses surrounded Parks' casket in a chapel bearing her name at St. Paul A.M.E. Church, where she was once a member. A separate wing was opened for the overflow crowd and hundreds more stood outside.
Chris Gardner/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
"I was here when Rosa Parks started and I just wanted to be here when she departed," said the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
An honor guard from the Maryland Transportation Authority Police carries the coffin of Rosa Parks away from the airplane and to a hearse at the Baltimore Washington International Airport in Linthicum, Md., on Sunday. Parks will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.
The body of the 92-year-old Parks, who died Monday at her home in Detroit, was to later lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. No other woman has been granted that honor.
woman has been good at Rice said she and others who grew up in Alabama during the height of Parks' activism might not have realized her impact on their lives then, "but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks, I probably would not be standing here today as secretary of state."
Alabama Gov Bob Riley credited Parks with inspiring protests against social injustice around the world
"I firmly believe God puts different people in different parts of history so great things can happen." Riley said. "I think Rosa Parks is one of those people."
Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. Among those who supported her was King, who led the boycott of the city's bus system that helped initiate the modern civil rights movement.
"She was a gentle giant," his son, Martin Luther
King III, said at the memorial.
"I think she had a defining stand in the civil rights movement," said Estella Jernigan, 20, a student at Troy University, before the service started.
Lowery and the Rev Jesse Jackson said the best way for blacks to carry on Parks' legacy would be to push
Congress to renew the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which they said would be in jeopardy when it comes up for review in 2007.
The Rev, Al Sharpton said when he arrived in Montgomery that he thought about "how if she had just moved her seat, how history might of changed."

Ground attack powers third Border War victory
BY RYAN COLIAIANN
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Going into Saturday's game, pundits expected the Missouri rushing attack to be the most important unit on the field.
Instead, it was the Kansas rushing attack that decided the game's outcome.
The Jayhawks carried the ball 49 times for 208 yards, with senior running back Clark Green's 125 yards leading the way.
Kansas defeated its Border Showdown rival 13-3.
Green seems to have a knack for breaking out against Missouri.
Last season, Green rushed for 118 yards, which helped Kansas win 31-14 in Columbia, Mo.
Green said he's motivated by the history of the rivalry.
Each year, before Kansas plays Missouri, former coach Don Fambrough speaks to the players. He relays the history of the long-running feud between the state of Kansas and the state of Missouri, dating all the way back to Quantrill's raid in Lawrence.
"I am here listening to the stories and all and you don't want
Fambrough was KU football coach for eight seasons between 1971 and 1982, including a hiatus in the late 1970s.
Missouri to beat you," Green said. "We just go out and play our heart out every game, but especially against Missouri."
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was not sure why Green has been so consistently successful against Missouri.
"Clark is our workhorse," sophomore offensive lineman Cesar Rodriguez said. "He works hard everyday. He gets blocks, he gets hurt, he pass blocks, he does everything that a running back should."
"I think maybe after being here for a couple years as a young player, he caught on to the intensity of this rivalry and what it means to the University of Kansas, to the people of Lawrence to the people in the state of Kansas," Mangino said.
Green, helped by the offensive line's strong showing, helped the Jayhawks have a successful game offensively.

Fans disperse posts throughout campus
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The KU grounds crew at Memorial Stadium can take down the goalposts in about 22 seconds. For the workers underneath the posts Saturday, there was an extra incentive to move quickly.
After defeating Missouri for the third consecutive year, fans stormed the field, tore down the goalpost in the north endzone, and carried it, along with the already-deconstructed post from the south endzone, off the field.
Pieces from the south endzone post made their way down Jayhawk Boulevard and into the Chi Omega Fountain, where three police officers kept watch over the pieces. Stadium officials took away the pieces that remained in the stadium after the crowd had cleared, KU workers said.
The north endzone post, still intact, was dumped into Potter Lake near Memorial Stadium.
Fans did not swarm around the field before the game final minutes, which limited the number of people who got onto the field for the celebration unlike the previous two years when fans stormed the field after victories against Missouri and Kansas State.
A crowd-control team patrolled the student section, but was told not to fight the oncoming rush,rather to unbolt the posts and walk away, Kansas event staff said.
Fans ignored a taped pregame
Justin O'Neal/KANSAN
message from Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, urging them to stay off the field. They also ignored repeated pleas from the public address announcer to "celebrate safely."
The goalposts must be replaced because they cannot be reconstructed. The company that manufactures the goalposts was notified of the potential need for replacements before the game, so the new posts will be ready for next Saturday's game against Nebraska.

Kansas fans should show some class
KELLIS ROBINETT
KROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
We saw who the true Kansas fans were on Saturday.
Those were the ones who sang the "Rock Chalk Chant" from their seats and left Memorial Stadium high-fiving one another showing dignity and class.
The thousand or so who ran on to the field to celebrate the 13-3 Kansas victory, however, dishonored themselves and the jayhawks' accomplishment.
This wasn't a monumental victory that deserved to bring the goalposts down, as we've seen the past two years. When the Jayhawks crushed a ranked Tiger team 55-14 two years ago, rushing the field was appropriate. It was the first Kansas victory against a ranked team in five years, and it all but assured the Jayhawks a trip to a bowl game.
Last year, a wild celebration was justified after Kansas defeated Kansas State, because it ended an 11-year losing streak to the Wildcats.
In those situations, Kansas did something it wasn't expected to do.
But there was nothing special about Saturday's game. Missouri
wasn't ranked. The Jayhawks have defeated the Tigers handily the past two years, and there was no dramatic finish.
Athletics Department officials said the celebration was a poor decision.
It might have been different if Kansas won the game on a last-second hall marry, but everyone knew Kansas was going to win with five minutes remaining in the game.
"We need to stop rushing the field when we've beaten a team three times in a row," Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchionny said. "We need to act we've been there before, because we have."
Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino agreed.
"That is dangerous. We don't need to do that," he said. "I just don't like it anywhere, whether it is on our field or on*a field somewhere else."
The fans who chose to run on to the field Saturday, told the Kansas football team, loud and clear, that they expected little out of it.
Beyond being dangerous — Marchiony said he saw one man come inches from death, narrowly avoiding a goalpost landing on his head — the celebration sent the wrong message to the Kansas football team.

Gault's golden goal defeats Tigers

The Kansas 3-2 victory against Missouri on Friday ended Senior Day in dramatic fashion. Junior defender Holly Gault sprinted out of nowhere and received a textbook pass from senior forward Caroline Smith. It was a golden goal in double overtime.
"I love to attack and there was no one in front of me." Gault said.
"I was yelling as loud as I could to Caroline to pass me the ball."
The victory earned the Jayhawks a four-way tie for second place and the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday in San Antonio. Kansas will play No. 4 seed Nebraska.
Texas A&M won the conference outright after a victory Friday night.

Texas adds to Kansas' losing streak
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Another day, another loss.
Kansas fell to No. 14 Texas 3-0 at the Horejsi Center Saturday night, its seventh straight loss in a season that has spiraled downward and appears destined for a disappointing end.
The Jayhawks are now 12- 10 overall and 4-9 in Big 12 action.
The Longhorns improved to 16-3 overall and 11-2 in conference play.
Texas made several long runs early in the match to gain momentum toward an easy victory. In the first game, Kansas held an 8-5 lead before an 8-0 Texas run silenced the home crowd and gave the Longhorns control. That streak proved to be the difference as they won the opener 30-22.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team's inability to thwart Texas' rallies was the difference in the match.
"You can't survive more than a couple of those a game," he said. "It seemed like they had three or four."
The Longhorns did, indeed, have many short runs that added up to lopsided final scores. In game two, however, it was the
Kansas scored four straight points to pull within one at 12-11, but that was the last time during the game that it scored off of the serve.
jayhawks' lack of scoring that led to a 30-20 loss.
The Jayhawks had three service errors and no aces in the frame.
The Longhorns were off and running again in the final game. A 6-0 stretch gave them an early 15-11 lead, and that was soon followed by a 4-0 run that put the Jayhawks down 23-14.
Another four-point streak made the score 29-20, and the match fittingly ended on a KU serving error.
Texas won the game 30-21.
Bechard gave credit to the Longhorns' offensive attack. Junior opposite hitter Dariam Acevedo led Texas with 14 kills. Three Longhorns were close behind with nine kills each.
Texas sophomore libero Alyson Jennings led all players with 17 digs.
"They're really dynamic," Rechard said. "You can be in the right place and have the block in the right place, and they're still tough."
Kansas was paced offensively by sophomore opposite
hitter Emily Brown, who tallied 10 kills. Senior outside hitter Paula Caten had eight blocks and nine digs. Senior setter Andi Rozum had seven kills, a team best.
The Longhorns also outblocked the [ayhawks] 16-8.
The Jayhawks' seven-game skid is their longest since 1997 when they had losing streaks of eight and 10 games. That was the last season before Bechard took over the program.
Brown said the Jayhawks needed to refocus in order to turn the season around. With only seven matches remaining, Kansas needs to win at least five to have a realistic shot at the NCAA tournament.
That mission starts Wednesday against Colorado, a team that Kansas beat earlier this season in Boulder, Colo.
"It's nothing that huge, nothing we can't do," Brown said. "But we've got to go now."
Rozum said the team needed to be on the same page in order to start winning again.
"It takes everyone being in the game at the same time, everyone believing that we can do it," she said.

CROSS COUNTRY
Men, women climb Big 12 rankings

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
Junior Benson Chesang was the Big 12 singles champion for the second year in a row. The only other runner to accomplish this for Kansas was Al Frame in 1954 and '55. Chessang finished with a time of 23:45.
Kansas didn't win the men's or women's Big 12 cross country title over the weekend, but it was a big stepping stone for the program. Both teams improved from last year's standings.
Texas' Joe Thorne finished second with a time of 23:48.
"It feels great to repeat," Chesang said. "I'm really impressed with my team right now. I didn't win this thing by myself. I had all my guys behind me and we just kept supporting each other."
Kansas finished with an overall score of 68. Colorado had a score of 55 and Texas had 52.
The 13th-ranked men's cross country team finished third overall, behind seven-time repeating champions Colorado and second-place finisher Texas.
The third-place finish for Kansas was the best finish for the team in the 10 years that the Big 12 Conference has had a cross country program.
"I was very excited with both teams' performance," coach Stanley Redwine said. "Benson repeating as individual champion was very thrilling. Coach Doug Clark has done an awesome job with the team."
The women finished eighth, two places better than their 10th-place finish a year ago.
Colorado also placed first on the women's side, sweeping the conference race. Kansas finished with a total score of 214, led by sophomore Lisa Morrisey with a time of 22:43. Morrisey finished 39th overall.
"Both teams had a total team effort," Redwine said. "If you look at both teams' performance from the one through five runners, we were exactly where we thought we would be."
The Jayhawks will be off from running this week, but will race in the NCAA Midwest Nationals in Iowa City, Iowa, on Nov. 12.

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Missouri swimming and diving team came of Lawrence this weekend and like its football and soccer counterparts, it left a loser.
931-3330
The Kansas swimming and diving team defeated No. 20 Missouri 175-125 on Friday night in Robinson Natatorium.
Kansas last defeated Missouri six years ago.
The victory moved the team to 2-1 in dual meet competition and 1-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
The early conference victory is an indication of the progress the team has made since the 2004-2005 season. Last year, the Jayhawks went 1-5 in the conference.
The only conference victory was at the end of the season, against Iowa State.
"We take the rivalry just as serious as every other team."
Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said. "The past few years, we haven't held our end of the deal."
Defeating a ranked team allowed the Jayhawks to see how good they really were, senior co-captain Gina Gnatzig said.
Although Friday's victory boosted team morale, Gnatzig remained humble on her outlook for the rest of the season.
"Since we beat Missouri, people will now come after us," Gnatzig said. "Yes, it was a win, but it's not going to be easy."
"Last year, we started doing really well halfway through the season at the North Carolina Invite," Gnatzig said.
Gnatzig said having a quicker start to the season would give the team ample time to make improvements.
"It was just so exciting to beat them. We haven't beaten them since I've been here, and to do it in my final year is great," she

said of Missouri.
Freshman Ashley Leidigh shattered the Robinson pool record by a half of a second in the 100-yard butterfly finishing with a time of 55.00 seconds. The old record was 55.52 seconds. Leidigh had one of the top times in the nation in the butterfly event, Gnatzig said.
In addition to breaking the pool record in the 100-yard butterfly, Leidigh captured first place in the 200-yard butterfly and the 100-yard freestyle. She was also a member of the first place 400-yard freestyle relay team alongside Gnatzig, sophomore Terri Schramka and freshman Molly Brammer.
"Ashley really broke through to a whole new performance level," Campbell said. "You have things that are momentum changers, and her butterfly race that took place in the first third of the meet
really electrified the team and fans."
Shanna Bradbury and Danielle Hermann also represented the freshman class. They swam in the 200-yard individual medley and both breaststroke events. Bradbury placed first in the IM. Hermann captured first in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 200-yard breaststroke. Schramka picked up a victory in the 200-yard backstroke
Other standout swims included victories by Gnatzig in the 200-yard freestyle and Jenny Short in the 100-yard backstroke.
The Jayhawks will meet Iowa and Missouri State in a doubledual meet on Nov. 4 at 4 p.m. in the Robinson Natatorium.
"We need to swim with the same enthusiasm and energy as we did with Missouri," Campbell said. "If we can beat Iowa, there's a good chance we will be a top 25 team."

Rowers take fifth in four boat

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
For Kansas rower Jelayna Da Silva, getting an extra hour of sleep because of daylight-saving time on Sunday morning didn't matter.
She was awake at 4 a.m., ready to row at the Head of the Iowa regatta.
The Kansas varsity women's four boat, which has four women in a boat, finished second in the regatta from Iowa City, Iowa.
"We had really good teamwork in this race," Da Silva said. "We've been working a lot on our technique and fitness, and it all came together in this race."
Rowers Jennifer Ebel and Kris Lazar competed in the women's four boat with Da Silva.
"I think we're in good shape this year and that makes a difference," Lazar said. "It's encouraging to see for the spring season. We're looking very strong."
strong.
But top-ranked teams such as Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa were more of an issue in the women's varsity eight. Minnesota took first place, Wisconsin, which entered two boats, took second and third and Iowa took fourth place.
Kansas finished fifth, but only half-second behind Iowa. All three teams were ranked in the top 20 last year.
Other results for Kansas included fourth, fifth and sixth
places in the women's open, with sophomore Tiffany Jeffers taking third.
Kansas rowing coach Rob Catloth said he was pleased with the rowers' performances.
Kansas will travel to Chattanooga, Tenn., next weekend to compete in the Head of the Hooch regatta.
"They're rowing three twoand-a-half mile races in a day and performing very well."
"The varsity eight is typically our main focus, so we'll be working on that this week," Da Silva said. "And almost everyone on varsity will be rowing in a single so we'll be looking at that as well. But we're always looking to come away with a win."
and fitness is always something the women work on in practice and in competition.
"It's the little things we do to improve that make a big difference out on the water," Ebel said. "We just always go out to row the race the best we can."
The Head of the Hooch will have several teams Kansas typically does not see, such as Tennessee, so it will be a good opportunity to see how it measures up against the competition.
"We have to keep improving and improving," Lazar said. "There's no doubt our team likes racing, so it'll be good to get out there and see how we compare to our competition."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
MANHATTAN — Kansas State already knew its Big 12 North title hopes were between slim and none.
Saturday's 23-20 loss to Colorado, which lifted the Buffaloes to a No. 25 ranking and gave them sole possession of the division lead, also eliminated Kansas State from contention. But the Wildcats can still salvage a bowl bid with two wins in their last three games, and they insist they can do it.
Loss ends Wildcats hope of North title
Now, as the old one-liner goes, slim has left town.
tion. "We only need two wins in our next three games, so we'll come back. We'll come back ready to practice on Monday."
"It's tough. The locker room is down, but we know we've still got a chance to make it to a bowl game," safety Marcus Watts said after Saturday's 23-20 loss to Colorado eliminated the Wildcats from North conten-
it won't be easy, though. Kansas State (4-4, 1-4), which has lost three straight, sits in fifth place in the six-team division, ahead of only Kansas.
The Wildcats have already played the Jayhawks, meaning their last three games will come against teams ahead of them in the standings - and gunning for bowl berths of their own.
Kansas State plays this weekend at Iowa State, which is coming off a 42-14 rout of Texas A&M.M The Wildcats go to Nebraska after that, then close out the regular season at home against Missouri.
"The spirit on this team, the effort, the improvement is still there," linebacker Brandon Archer said. "I believe we can pull out two wins"

Smith suffers 3-year slump
Defense holds quarterback to 179 yards
The Kansas defense consistently bottled up Smith at the line of scrimmage and forced him to move outside the pocket, rather than have the ability to sit in the pocket and create plays, like he did last weekend.

KANSAN SENIOR SWITCHWRITER
For the third consecutive year, the Kansas defense stopped Brad Smith enough to secure a victory over rival Missouri.
A week after being named national player of the week by USA Today and Sports Illustrated, the Missouri senior quarterback struggled throughout the game completing just 14 of 37 passes for 141 yards and gaining only 38 yards rushing.
Last week, Smith accumulated nearly 500 yards of total offense against Nebraska, which entered the game with the No.1 rush defense in the Big 12 Conference. But this week was a different story for Smith against another top defense.
"Losing this rivalry game, it hurts, it hurts a lot," Smith said. "I gave it everything I got, but there just isn't anything I can do about it now."
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said the defense made adjustments from last year and gave Smith several different looks than it had in the past.
Smith said the Missouri offense was expecting more blitzes from the Kansas defense like in years past, but instead it dropped defenders back into zone coverage and made Smith scramble.
"We got to Brad Smith the last couple of years with intense pressure and blitzing," Mangino said. "There is no doubt that Missouri was prepared for all those blitzes. Our defensive line dropped to zones and squeezed
the pocket in front of him to force him out of the pocket."
Mangino also said that he had never seen a defense execute its game plan as well as the Kansas defense did on Saturday.
Smith said the offense was out of sync all game. Whether it was penalties, sacks or miscommunication, the Kansas defense had Missouri's offense off-balanced and frustrated.
Kansas' 13-3 victory against Missouri marks the last time Kansas will play against Smith. He will end his career later this season at Missouri with nearly every passing and rushing record in the books, but will also leave with a 1-3 career record against Kansas.
Smith said Kansas would always rise to the occasion and make plays to stop him from what he wanted to do. Smith has accounted for 400 yards of total offense during the past two years against Kansas, which was 80 fewer yards than he accounted for last week against Nebraska.
Smith, however, began to move the ball effectively late in the fourth quarter. He scrambled for a first down on fourth and 10 and broke free from a Nick Reid tackle. After completing three more passes for three first downs and a gain of 33 yards, Kansas cornerback Theo Baines intercepted Smith's pass at the goal line with fewer than five minutes in the game. The interception secured the victory for Kansas.
Senior Jayhawk defensive end Charlton Keith, who registered two sacks of Smith and pressured him all game, said this was an important game for Kansas' future.
future.
"We just lined up and played fundamental football," Keith said. "We had 11 guys pursuing the ball, and that's pretty impressive. We have a lot of young guys on the team that are stepping up and making plays, and that's looking good for the future of KU football."

The staff responsible for lowering the goalposts couldn't get its job done because NCAA regulations state that the posts must stay up until the clock has reached zero. The rules also call for a school to have backup goalposts on hand at the stadium in the event that one comes down before the game ends.

Onike last year, the players did not celebrate with the fans on the field. Most of them quickly went into the locker room, but a few players stopped to pose for pictures or interview with television reporters.
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson said the team went into the locker room and had a party of its own.
As the parties continued both inside and outside the locker room, security guards kept a close eye on the celebration on the field to ensure that no one got hurt.
"It's the greatest feeling ever to come in here, everybody throwing Gatorade around," Swanson said. "That's how it should be."
"It's dangerous, and we don't need to do that," Mangino said. "We're better than that."
Mangino also referred to an incident last Saturday at the University of Minnesota-Morris, where a student was killed after a goalpost fell on him.
The recent event did not seem to damper the festivities for those who rushed the field.

The Texas Longhorns remained at the No. 1 spot after improving to 8-0 on the season. Texas had a scare in its game against Oklahoma State, falling behind 28-9 at one point. The Longhorns regrouped at halftime and outscored the Cowboys 35-0 in the second half. Oklahoma State witnessed a similar occurrence in Austin, Texas, last year. Oklahoma State was ahead 35-7, but Texas scored 42 unanswered points to beat the Cowboys 56-35. In the teams' last three games against each other, Texas has outscored Oklahoma State 118-0 in the second half.
Texas quarterback Vince Young set a Texas school record for total offense in a game with 267 yards rushing and 239 yards passing.
The biggest winner of the week
was Iowa State. The Cyclones marched into College Station and beat the Texas A&M Aggies 42-14. This gave them the biggest jump of the week. The Cyclones moved up three spots to sixth.
The biggest loser of the week was Missouri. The Tigers dropped five spots in the rankings to ninth after losing 13-3 to Kansas this weekend. Voters ranked Missouri as high as seven and as low as 11. Kansas contained Missouri quarterback Brad Smith, who came off 246 yards and three rushing touchdowns against Nebraska. In Lawrence, the KU defense held Smith to 38 yards rushing and 141 yards passing with no touchdowns.
Oklahoma moved up two spots to fourth. The Sooners are coming off a road victory against Nebraska, a game that saw running back Adrian Peterson return to form. Peterson rumbled for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Although Oklahoma has lost three games, it is still 4-1 in the Big 12 Conference.

"Clark was huge. Clark was just being Clark. He will pound it all day," Swanson said. "Fortunately the line did a great job creasing some lanes for him. Once he gets an open field he is really hard to bring down."
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 Swanson was pleased, but not surprised, with Green's performance.
Green wasn't the only successful Kansas running back. Junior Jon Cornish accumulated 54 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Rodriguez said Missouri dropped members of its secondary throughout the game, afraid Kansas was going to throw the ball. Rodriguez thought that approach was due to the fact that Kansas threw the ball 50 times the week earlier against Colorado.
Green scored the team's first touchdown of the game in the second quarter from one yard out.
Green was key on that scoring drive. He rushed the ball four times for 27 vards and the score.
The Kansas defense certainly was fresh when it came on the field. The defense had another stellar performance, holding Missouri to just 180 yards of total offense including 33 rushing yards. The defense also forced two turnovers — an interception and a fumble recovery.
"We made mistakes, and you can't make mistakes. Especially against a good defense," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "Give them some credit, they are a good defensive football team."
The Kansas rushing attack actually helped neutralize its opponent's rushing game. Because Kansas was able to run the football effectively and gain first downs, the Missouri offense stayed off the field. Kansas held the ball for nearly 10 minutes longer than Missouri.
Kansas held Missouri's versitle quarterback, Brad Smith, to 38 yards on 20 carries. Smith ran for more than 200 yards last week against Nebraska.
"They were able to make adjustments on the fly as far as responsibilities and did a good job of game planning and executing it," Missouri running back Tony Temple said.
Mangino recognized the discrepancy in time of possession as one of the keys in Kansas' victory.
Cheers to the KU faithful. Fans helped the Jayhawks throughout the day, cheering at the right times in the game. The loud fans contributed to the snap that sailed over Brad Smith's head, and the defense fed off the fan's energy.
"Defensive coordinators are always running to the offensive coordinators saying can we run the ball, can we move the chains, can we eat up the clock. Let's just try to keep our guys off the field so they can be fresh when they go out," Mangino said.
Cheers, jeers for fans on Saturday

What other school in the country would have rushed the field after defeating Missouri? Troy fans did last year, but that's about it.
Remember, New Mexico, 2-4 in the Mountain West Conference, defeated Missouri on the road 45-35 earlier this year.
No, it's hard to imagine any fans, other than those of the worst football programs, getting excited about winning a game against Missouri.
Don't get me wrong. Jayhawk fans deserved to be happy about the victory. It ended a four-game losing streak and kept slim hopes of a bowl game alive. But tearing down the goalposts was extreme.
Fans should have waited, realizing that next week was the game that merited a large celebration. Kansas has an opportunity to end a 37-year losing streak to Nebraska.
The Kansas Athletics Department will continue its efforts to keep fans in the stands.
"I think students should be sending a
message to themselves," Marchiony said. "Even next week if we beat Nebraska, the smartest thing they could do would be to stay off the field. Until that happens, there will be the danger of someone getting seriously hurt or killed."
On Saturday, when one person got on the field, more than a thousand followed. To see so many classless Kansas fans was most disappointing.
The only time in recent memory that KU fans have acted this badly was in 2003, when a handful of students rushed the court at Allen Fieldhouse following a victory against Texas. Even then, about 16,000 fans stayed in their seats and booed those foolish enough to run onto the court.
The Kansas football team isn't a powerhouse and it won't be anytime soon. But it's time for Kansas fans to recognize the steps this team has made since the Terry Allen era and stop rushing the field after mediocre victories.

The Kansas rushing attack actually helped neutralize its opponent's rushing game. Because Missouri was able to run the football effectively and gain first downs, the Missouri offense stayed off the field. Kansas held the ball for nearly 10 minutes longer than Missouri.
"They were able to make adjustments on the fly as far as responsibilities and did a good job of game planning and executing it." Missouri running back Tony Temple said.
Mangino recognized the discrepancy in time of possession as one of the keys in Kansas' victory.
"Defensive coordinators are always running to the offensive coordinators saying can we run the ball, can we move the chains, can we eat up the clock. Let's just try to keep our guys off the field so they can be fresh when they go out," Mangino said.
Cheers, jeers for fans on Saturday
Cheers to the KU faithful. Fans helped the Jayhawks throughout the day, cheering at the right times in the game. The loud fans contributed to the snap that sailed over Brad Smith's head, and the defense fed off the fan's energy.

Jeers to the geniuses who rushed the field. When Kansas defeats a team three years in a row, the goalposts should stay on the field and out of Potter Lake.
Cheers to the older twirlers during
Cheers to Brad Smith. For three straight years, the Heisman Trophy hopeful has given Jayhawk fans plenty to cheer about. Nick Reid, Charlton Keith and company will be in Smith's nightmares this Halloween, no doubt.
the halftime show. The crazy twirling lady with the wild hair is always a fan favorite at homecoming.The little old man was a welcome addition this year.
Jeers to any KU students who brought along an MU fan to the game.
Jeers to the MU fan who purposely walked through the student section in the fourth quarter with his girlfriend, flipping everyone off. Hope she realizes he's a keeper.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
What other school in the country would have rushed the field after defeating Missouri? Troy fans did last year, but that's about it.
Remember, New Mexico, 2-4 in the Mountain West Conference, defeated Missouri on the road 45-35 earlier this year.
No, it's hard to imagine any fans, other than those of the worst football programs, getting excited about winning a game against Missouri.
Don't get me wrong, Jayhawk fans deserved to be happy about the victory. It ended a four-game losing streak and kept slim hopes of a bowl game alive. But tearing down the goalposts was extreme.
Rans should have waited, realizing that next week was the game that merited a large celebration. Kansas has an opportunity to end a 37-year losing streak to Nebraska.
The Kansas Athletics Department wil continue its efforts to keep fans in the stands.
"I think students should be sending a
message to themselves," Marchiony said. "Even next week if we beat Nebraska, the smartest thing they could do would be to stay off the field. Until that happens, there will be the danger of someone getting seriously hurt or killed."
The Kansas football team isn't a powerhouse and it won't be anytime soon. But it's time for Kansas fans to recognize the steps this team has made since the Terry Allen era and stop rushing the field after mediocre victories.
On Saturday, when one person got on the field, more than a thousand followed. To see so many classless Kansas fans was most disappointing.
The only time in recent memory that KU fans have acted this badly was in 2005, when a handful of students rushed the court at Allen Fieldhouse following a victory against Texas. Even then, about 16,000 fans stayed in their seats and booed those foolish enough to run onto the court.
Robinett is an Austin, Texas, senior in journalism. He is Kansan sports editor.

Potter actor looking to work magic on girls
NEWYORK — What's it like growing up as the magical Harry Potter? For teen actor Daniel Radcliffe, it's not that weird.
FRIEND OR FAUX?
BUT I PROMISE SOMETIME THIS WEEK, ILL TRY TO PENCIL YOU IN...
YOU'RE STILL WORKING!? AM I GOING TO SEE YOU AT ALL THIS WEEK?
GOSH TRACT, I'M JUST SO BUSY DRAWING US AS CARTOONS RIGHT NOW.
BUT I PROMISE SOMETIME THIS WEEK, ILL TRY TO PENCIL YOU IN...
GET IT? "PENCIL" YOU IN! HA!
YOURE STILL WORKING??
AM I GOING TO SEE
YOU AT ALL THIS
WEEK?
GOSH
TRACI, I'M
JUST SO BUSY
DRAWING US
AS CARTOONS
RIGHT NOW.
Radcliffe, the 16-year-old star of the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," has spent almost a third of his life making movies. His latest film, based on J.K. Rowling's novel, opens in two weeks.
GET IT?
"PENCIL"
YOU IN!
HA!
Seth Bundv/KANSAN
Radcliffe was first cast as Potter when he was 11. Since then, a lot has changed: he's taller and his face has become more defined, his voice has changed, he's got complexion issues and is growing stubber stubble.
Radcliffe is still waiting for one teenage milestone — a girlfriend. Have sparks flown between him and Emma Watson, who plays the nerdy Hermione Granger?
Come on! I'm a Type-0
Type! where's your
sense of humor?
Komdo dragon
You know, just because
you already look weird
doesn't mean you have
to have a lance costume.

YOUR ROBOT'S WEARING THAT FOR HALLOWEEN?
I TOLD HIM TO DRESS UP LIKE "R2D2" OR "C3PO." HE SAID THAT DRESSING IN A ROBOT COSTUME WAS "DORKY," AND A "LITTLE BIT GAY."
"No. But I had a big crush on her when I first met her, definitely," he said.

LAS VEGAS — A white suit belonging to John Lennon that he wore on the album cover of "Abbey Road" sold for $118,000 at an auction while the Austin Princess he drove in the movie "Imagine" went for $150,000.

Anthony Pugliese of World Films in Del Ray, Fla., bought the suit, and the automobile was bought by a private Japanese investor, said Darren Julien, president of Julien's Auctions, the firm holding Saturday's auction in Las Vegas.

▼ HOROSCOPES The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Monday, Oct. 31, 2005: Often, you might want to retreat from situations. Actually, maintaining a low profile will work well for you and will add to the lucky nature of your year. Think through decisions rather than have a knee-jerk reaction. Often, you will want to sort out your feelings. Your instincts are unusually strong, especially with money. In fact, you might restructure your finances and the manner in which you handle them. If you are single, you will have many admirers; just make sure the person you choose is available. If you are attached, plan plenty of getaways together. Be more open. LIBRA makes a good healer or doctor for you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
***** You simply are not able to get away from the Halloween enthusiasm. Just when you are deep in concentration, a witch or grimlin pips by. Why fight the inevitable? Network while getting into the humor of the moment. Tonight: At one of the many pumpkin parties.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
as everyone trips on his or her after ego or fantasy character. You get the job done and finish off what others might be too distracted to do. Your amazing sense of graciousness wins over a loved one. Tonight: Just make sure you are ready for the trick-or-treaters.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
★★★ You need to be an anchor,
******* Your enthusiasm can't be quelled. You see what occurs in a positive light. Allow more humor and fun in, especially today. Someone might make a last-minute suggestion. Go for it. Tonight: Be a kid again. You might like a piece of candy or two.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
when making plans later in the day. You won't be able to contain others. Tonight: Hang where the fun is, or be the one distributing the candy.
**★★★★ You naturally find fun,
though for whatever reason, you might
feel a need to anchor in those around
you. If you can work from home,
please do. Be ready to pick up where
someone has left off. Tonight: Make
sure you have enough candy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★ Last-minute details could keep you in your head and not as aware as you would like to be. You might need to make a last-minute purchase. Also, an expenditure might surround your home or domestic life. Tonight: Don't be extravagant.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
***** With the Moon in your sign,
where you direct your energy counts.
You are likely to succeed. Be willing
to adjust and make positive changes
if need be. People might be unusually
unpredictable. Tonight: Either watching
the action or being part of it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★★ Whatever goes on, you naturally fall into the position of leader of the gang. Your decision counts. Others will naturally accept you as wise and intelligent. Tonight: Get into the Halloween spirit.
you twist and turn your plans, you like the end results. You do need to be around people, be it at work or in your personal life. You make a great addition. Tonight: Get into the fun nature of the night.
**** You naturally get into the levity of the day. In fact, you might be happy just watching the kids and their friends getting excited. Think "fun"
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★ You might want to be more of an observer than a player right now. Use extreme caution with your finances; you could have an unexpected expenditure. Don't take a comment personally. Tonight: Vanish like a ghost.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
AUDIARIS (Jan. 28-Feb. 18)
***** Your imagination could go haywire or really be out there, especially if conjuring up any ideas, projects or Halloween plans. Listen to a friend who might have a more grounded perspective. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll now, even if it means a last-minute change.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★☆☆ No matter how many times
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★ A partner dominates plans, ideas and decisions. Don't buck this trend, for now. Let this person have his or her moment of glory. This person wants you to focus on just him or her. Do it. Be a good listener. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Senior forward Caroline Smith moves around Missouri freshman defender Kat Tarr toward the ball. Smith scored the 50th goal of her career early in the match. The five seniors — Nicole Braman, Erin Ferguson, Kimberly Kartonta, Jessica Smith and Caroline Smith — won their final home game at Jayhawk Soccer Complex on a double-overtime goal by junior defender Holly Gault.

The five soccer seniors could not have left the Jayhawk Soccer Complex more pleased Friday.
Before the match, forward Nicole Braman, goalkeeper Erin Ferguson and forwards Kimberly Karfonta, Caroline Smith and Jessica Smith were honored.
Kansas ended the regular season by beating Missouri 3-2 in double overtime on Senior Day with the game-winning goal from junior defender Holly Gault.
ing. She notched her first
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said the senior class would graduate as one of the most successful KU classes, in terms of its tenure and what the program accomplished.
"They've all done an awesome job." Francis said.
Caroline Smith, an Edina, Minn., native, scored the 50th goal of her career in the season finale.
"I waited to get it today because it was senior day and against Missouri," Smith said.
She said despite the seniors being honored, the most important part of the weekend was getting a victory over Missouri.
Smith will leave as Kansas' all-time leader in points, goals, assists, game-winning goals and shots.
Braman, a Niwot, Colo., native who transferred to Ohio State, saience at Kansa
"I just remember the excitement of every player, whether they played and made a huge impact or made an impact just by cheering."
Erin Ferguson Kansas senior goalkeeper
Kansas from d her experi- is was amaz-
ched her first goal of the year in Ames, Iowa, on Oct. 2 against Iowa State.
Jessica Smith, co-captain and Wichita native, will leave Kansas with a hat trick to remember this year. She scored three goals against O k l a h o m a State on Oct. 7 in Kansas's 4-1 victory.
"I would like to thank my teammates for always opening their hearts and minds to
who I am and what I stand for." Smith said.
Karfonta will be remembered as the only KU player capable of performing a round-off backflip after she scored a goal.
The only time the Edmond, Okla., native did not perform the backflip was on her game-winning goal against Texas on Oct. 23.
That game was the Jayhawks' first victory over the Longhorns in school history.
Throughout her career, she has been a key contributor and added depth to the team.
Ferguson, a Glen Elyn, Ill,
native, said her favorite memory
was when Kansas won the Big 12 Championship last
year.
"The best memories of all have been the friends I have made," Karfonta said. "I know that I have 23 friends for the
rest of my life."
"I just remember the excitement of every player, whether they played and made a huge impact or made an impact just by cheering." Ferguson said.
There is a possibility the team will play again in Lawrence, depending on how well it does at the Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio. If Friday was the last time the seniors played at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex, all have left with great memories.
Kansas finished in a four-team tie for second place.

All five seniors' parents were introduced before the game for the Jayhawks' most stress-inducing game of the season.
Playing to keep its season alive, Missouri (9-7-3, 3-5-2 Big 12) fell behind, tied the game and took the lead in the back-and-forth match.
"It's huge," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "And being a Kansas-Missouri game, there's always a lot of emotion in that game, even if there is nothing on the line outside of that. Obviously, for the seniors, too, we wanted to win it for them."
Caroline Smith had Kansas on the board within the third minute on senior Jessica Smith's assist. Caroline Smith's eighth goal of the season marked the 50th of her career.
"V
ers deflected it.
"I just wanted to get it today." Smith joked after the game. "It was senior day against Missouri. But like I've said, the goals and that stuff doesn't really matter. We got the 'W' and that's what is important."
Smith's early goal highlighted an abundance of offensive movement, but the spark was not consistent.
Missouri seniors Amber Swineheart and Jennifer Nobis teamed up in the 22nd minute for Swineheart's 12th goal of the season to tie the game at one.
"When they equalized, I think the momentum shifted," Francis said. "They really picked it up and we kind of backed off a little bit."
You've got to give Missouri credit. They didn't quit regardless of the score and the situation. They kept themselves in the game."
Missouri took a 2-1 lead not even a minute into the second half.
This would mark the end of Missouri's offense.
Swinehart and Nobis teamed up again, only this time switching roles. Nobis tallied her seventh goal of the season, tapping the ball in after Kansas defend-
Another ten minutes passed before Kansas tied the score, but the shift in pace changed immediately. The Iyawhaves refused to lose.
Mark Francis KU soccer coach
It started with Michelle Rasmussen, a junior from South Dakota, driving in a jaw-dropping beauty from 25 yards out. Rasmussen tied the game with the goal in the 57th minute.
"You can tell when you hit it when you strike a ball well." Rasmussen said. "It was fun and a good goal."
From half-time to Gault's 104th-minute clincher, the Kansas offense nearly tripled its first half shot count. Kansas outshot Missouri 30-13 and doubled its shot on goal count
14-7.
"They went ahead and I think that gave us a little bit of fire under our butts," Francis said. "After we tied it up, I think we dominated the rest of the half."
In true All-American form, Smith shot 12 times in the match, seven of which were on goal. One actually was a goal, and she took time to pick up her eighth assist.
"You've got to give Missouri credit," Francis said. "They didn't quit regardless of the score and the situation. They kept themselves in the game."
By the time Gault nailed the golden goal in double overtime, the 600-plus fans in attendance sounded more like 6,000 fans roaring in celebration.
"It was great to beat Missouri on our own field," Smith said. "The possibility that we could have ended Missouri's season makes it even sweeter. It's good to watch Missouri go home with a loss."
