Task force gives reasons for prolonged college careers
BY MELISA$ BYRD

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Watch any movie about the college experience, and you will likely see that familiar eighth-year senior, still living in the fraternity house, unable to finish his degree. While these examples may not be entirely realistic, it is becoming increasingly common for college students — including students at the University of Kansas — to take more than four years to graduate.
Only 29 percent of KU students graduate in four years. In an effort to determine the cause of this low four-year graduation rate, the University created a "Graduate in Four" task force. Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost for academic affairs and the chairwoman of the task force, said faculty cited the University's non-selective admission standards as one of the main reasons for the low graduation rate.
Faculty said these standards attracted students with low qualifications, who usually take longer than four years to graduate.
The University's graduation rate ranks fifth out of 11 schools in the Big 12 Conference, according to the task force.
"Our graduation rate is very low for a school like ours," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "Our ACT composite average is exactly like Indiana University's. Its four-year graduation is significantly higher."
The task force found that although several factors tend to influence low four-year graduation rates at the University, the major triggers behind them seem to be cultural reasons, liberal policies regarding course withdrawal and major declaration, too few credit hours taken each semester and off-campus student jobs.
Baylor University, the conference's only private university, was not included in the report.
Although several factors tend to influence low four-year graduation rates at the University, the major triggers behind them seem to be cultural reasons. liberal policies regarding course withdrawal and major declaration, too few credit hours taken each semester and off-campus student jobs.
"We have never put much emphasis on the fact that we expect you to get out in four years," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
Cultural factors
She said that many students do not have the expectation for themselves that they will finish on time.
Kelly Jenkins, a fifth-year senior, said he did not take college seriously his first year, which put him behind.

New board to address profiling KU officers excluded from jurisdiction

KANSAN STAFF WRITE
A city ordinance that would establish an independent advisory board to address racial profiling in Lawrence would not affect the KU Public Safety Office.
City officials presented the commission the draft of an ordinance on Oct. 18 that would comply with the recently passed Kansas Senate Bill 77. It requires Lawrence and other cities to form citizen advisory boards to work with local law enforcement to prevent racial profiling. Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger said the law required the advisory board to be formed by July 1, 2006, but that city commissioners wanted to create it sooner.
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said city commissioners would have the option to pass the ordinance in November or December. The city doesn't regulate the KU Public Safety Office. Corliss said.
Ralph Oliver, chief of the KU Public Safety Office, said the office would comply with the bill's requirements for data collection.
The office has never received any complaints about racial profiling, Oliver said. He said that if students had complaints of discrimination by an officer or staff member, they should come to the office and file a report so police could investigate.
Kristen Guillot, Shawnee senior and president of the Black Student Union, said he had experienced racial profiling on and off campus.
He said he was walking to Jayhawker Towers at night when a police officer stopped him. The officer asked him where he was walking. He said he answered and the officer told him he just wanted to make sure he was a student.
The city's approval of an independent advisory board means that commissioners are acknowledging that racial profiling exists, Guillot said.

Space station marks five years of use
BY PAM EASTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — The international space station Wednesday marked five continuous years of people living and working aboard it.
But there wasn't much time for celebration.
The station's two residents spent the day cleaning air filters, upgrading exercise equipment and doing other maintenance. Astronaut William McArthur Jr. and cosmonaut Valery Tokarev, who arrived Oct. 3 for a six-month stay, also prepared for a spacewalk next week.
"It's not that we're not feeling celebratory," McArthur said. "The space shuttle isn't flying right now. And we got to figure out how to finish flying the space shuttle in the next four years and to finish building the space station like we promised to."
People first began living on the orbiting science lab on Nov. 2, 2000, after 16 countries joined to construct it.
"It absolutely calls for celebration," the astronaut said from orbit during a series of broadcast interviews. "We have done things that were absolutely inconceivable 50 years ago."
The 15,000-foot space station, about half complete, includes living quarters, an exercise room and a galley. It is now the equivalent of a three-bedroom house. Nearly 100 people from 10 countries have visited the station, and 29 have lived

aboard it, often for six months at a time.
NASA partnered with the Russian Federal Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency in building the station.
"It's not the pristine world that you see on Star Trek, where you see the neatly pressed uniforms," McArthur said. "What we have is perhaps, from a storage and organization standpoint, is well-managed chaos."
Paul Cloutier, a Rice University professor of physics and astronomy, said when people first started living in space, many were optimistic but also naive about the challenges of long-term orbital trips.
"Just the fact that it is up there is a major accomplishment," he said.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
New ticket system kicks off
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After nearly a year of planning and discussion, students got their first taste of the new men's basketball ticket validation system this week.
Wednesday was the final day of the first ticket pickup period for the first three home games. Students had two options to validate their tickets: in person at the Athletics Department ticket office or online using the department's Web site, www.kuathletics.com.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said he had not heard of any major problems with the new validation system.
"I haven't had any great uproar." Marchiony said.
The ticket office is now located at the southeast corner of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics at the fieldhouse. Students can visit the ticket office to test their KUIDs in the remaining days leading up to the first game to verify that they will scan on game day.
Students such as Christie Omon, Lawrence junior, had trouble using the new system for the first time.
"I was just really confused by the online system," Omon said. "I wasn't sure what to do or where to click."
Omon said it was easier to validate her tickets in person at the ticket office, but she said the online option might help students with busy schedules.
Stephen Prokopiak, Denver sophomore, picked up his tickets in person.
When he visited the ticket office, his KUID was added to the list of IDs accepted on game day. Students who picked up their football tickets at the beginning of the year had their
KUID added into the system at that time.
Prokopiak said he would pick up his tickets for future games in person to avoid the online fee of $1 per game.
Marchiony said the department was charged the $1 fee per game by its online ticket provider, and the department was passing that fee on to students.
He said students who had suggestions or comments for how to improve the system could contact the ticket office. Marchiony said the department would discuss suggested options for improving the system after basketball season.
Several fieldhouse staff members will be devoted to the two student entrances to help minimize delays at the first game on Nov. 9, Marchiony said. He said staff would be equipped with scanners to slide the students' KUIDs as they entered Allen Fieldhouse.
The ticket office is now located at the southeast corner of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics at the fieldhouse. Students can visit the ticket office to test their KUIDs in the remaining days leading up to the first game to verify that they will scan on game day.
If student tickets are still available, Marchiony said students would be able to validate their vouchers on game day.
The first exhibition game is Wednesday at 7 p.m. versus Fort Hays State University.
Funeral for Rosa Parks draws thousands
- Edited by Tricia Masenthin
CIVIL RIGHTS
Georan Sherrill of Detroit takes part in a musical during Rosa Parks' funeral at the Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, Parka, a civil rights icon, had in honor in the Capitol Rotunda before her funeral Wednesday.
BY KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Carlos Osorio/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — A church packed with 4,000 mourners celebrated the life of Rosa Parks Wednesday in an impassioned, song-filled funeral, with a crowd of notables giving thanks for the humble woman whose dignity and defiance helped transform a nation.
"The woman we honored today held no public office, she wasn't a wealthy woman, didn't appear in the society pages," said Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois). "And yet when the history of this country is written, it is this small, quiet woman whose name will be remembered long after the names of senators and presidents have been forgotten."
The funeral, which stretched well past its three-hour scheduled time, followed a week of remembrances during which Parks' coffin was brought from Detroit, where she died Oct. 24; to montgomery, Ala., where she sparked the civil rights movement 50 years ago by refusing to give her bus seat to a white man; to Washington, where she became the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda.
Those in the audience held hands and sang the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome" as family members filed past her casket before it was closed.
"Mother Parks, take your rest. You have certainly earned it," said Bishop Charles Ellis III of Greater Grace Temple, who led the service.
Singers included Aretha Franklin and mezzo-soprano Brenda Jackson, who sang a soaring version of the Lord's Praver.
Speakers described Parks, who died at 92, as both a warrior and a woman of peace who never stopped working toward a future of racial equality.
"The world knows of Rosa Parks because of a single, simple act of dignity and courage that struck a lethal blow to the foundations of legal bigotry," said former President Clinton, who presented Parks with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, not yet born when Parks took her stand, was one of many who attributed their success to the doors Parks opened.
"Thank you for sacrificing for us," he said. "Thank you for praying when we were too cool and too cute to pray for ourselves. ... Thank you for allowing us to step on your mighty shoulders."

Student Senate voted for a resolution Wednesday night urging the Provost's Office to appoint a task force to look into student jobs.

Student Senate urges University to evaluate salaries for student jobs
Himes said he would like an independent body to investigate whether the University was giving graduate workers adequate pay, training and research support.
Part of the reason for the task force is concern with graduate student employment.
The Graduate and Professional Affairs, University Affairs and Student Rights committees passed versions of the resolution last week.

Monthly diversity forum addresses disability issues with dialogue
Himes wrote the resolution that passed in the Graduate and Professional Affairs committee.
"KU's graduate student employees get a bad deal," said Stephen Himes, Clinton, Mo., graduate senator and chairman of the Graduate Affairs Committee.
The program "I'm Disabled, Not Invisible" will take place at 7 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union as part of a monthly Diversity Dialogue forum. The program will address some of the issues that individuals with disabilities face on a regular basis: why people with disabilities are often ignored and why people without disabilities often become nervous around those with disabilities.
The dialogue is divided into two parts. Faculty and staff members on a panel will begin by relating their personal experiences.The second hour is for small-group discussions with the audience to help stimulate conversation among participants.
"The Dialogues gives us a chance, as a campus community, to focus on good, honest conversation that brings out our own experience in living with differences" said Rishad Gandhi, graduate assistant for the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
The program is sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center, the Diversity Peer Education Team and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.

Laureate to visit Writer extends reach of poetry
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
trobinet@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
U. S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser is coming to the University today to read and discuss poetry.
Kooser writes about the country he lives in with precision and good humor and pays tremendous attention to detail, Michael Johnson, professor of English, said. He said Kooser's poems were short — about the length of a sonnet.
"He has a good rhythmic sense and knows how to put a good poem together." Johnson said. "It's an honor to have him here and I look forward to it."
FED KOOSER'S SCHEDUEL
At 4:00 p.m., he will be a part of a poetry panel at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Born in Ames, Iowa, in 1939, Kooser said he began writing poems in grade school, and in high school wrote dozens of poems for his girlfriend. He said he didn't get serious about poetry, though, until he was 18. He has written or thought about writing poetry every day since, he said. His poems began to appear in literary magazines when he was about 25.
Kooser is a professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has written 11 books of poetry and has received 26 awards, including a 2005 Pulitzer Prize for his book "Delights and Shadows." Besides poetry, Kooser has written plays, fiction, personal essays and literary criticism.
At 8:00 p.m., he will read his poetry at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
◆ The reading will be followed by a book signing.
Source: University Relations
The Library of Congress named Kooser U.S. Poet Laureate in 2004. According to www.loc.gov, the poet laureate seeks to raise national consciousness and appreciation of the reading and writing of poetry.
Johnson said Kooser would be part of a three-person panel Friday afternoon that would answer questions from the audience about poetry's current status, who reads and writes poetry and why it matters. He said each panelist would then read a poem or two of his own. Stan Banks, a Kansas City poet, and John Mark Eberhart, the books editor for The Kansas City Star, will join Kooser on the panel.
Kooser said the position entailed a lot of obligations. He said in the past decade, most of the laureates have been trying to extend the reach of poetry.
Kooser
"I have been working as a kind of public relations specialist for the Library of Congress," Kooser said.
Since he became laureate, Kooser's life has changed dramatically. He said he always liked being home so he could read, write and paint. Now he is asked to travel, read poems and speak to large groups of people.
"I am occupied with these activities seven days a week," Kooser said. "When I am not on the road I am trying to keep up with my correspondence and my teaching. But I do enjoy what I'm doing. I like people and people seem to like me and my work."
Johnson said the past 12 laureates have been from one coast or the other, and the Library of Congress was interested in having one from the center of the country, which was one of the reasons they chose Kooser. The English department, the Hall Center for Humanities and the Office of the Chancellor are sponsoring Kooser's visit.

New 911 call guidelines challenged
BY DAVID TWIDDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nov. 28.
Overland Park based Nuvio Corp. filed suit in the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in August. The company is challenging the new rules, which go into effect
Since then, the company said, the FCC hasn't responded and, with time running out, Navio filed a motion with the appeals court on Tuesday, asking for the delay.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A quartet of Internet telephone providers has asked a federal appeals court to partially delay enforcement of new Federal Communications Commission guidelines that require them to ensure reliable 911 emergency call service.
The court has ordered the FCC to respond by next Tuesday.
An FCC spokesman said Wednesday the agency wouldn't comment on the lawsuit or the most recent motion.
Nuvio is a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol, also known as VoIP, which transmits calls using the Internet.

Three other VoIP providers — Louisville, Ky.-based Lightyear Network Solutions LLC; McLean, Va.-based Primus Telecommunications Group Inc.'s subsidiary Lingo Inc.; and Atlanta-based i2 Telecom International Inc. — have joined the suit.
In May, the FCC ordered providers of Internet-based phone calls to certify that their customers would be able to reach an emergency dispatcher when they called 911.
Dispatchers also must be able to identify the caller's phone number and location.

"Unfortunately, I decided to be more of a college kid than a college student my freshman year, so my GPA took a big hit," he said.
University policy
Liberal course withdrawal policies also seem to affect the University's four-year graduation rate. Rather than studying to make the grade, students will withdraw from a class they are not doing well in, only to retake it the next semester.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the University makes it too easy to withdraw from classes — even up until the last day.
"Some of it is our own policies," she said. "I think that we have been so bent-over-backwards to accommodate people, and I think it is not in their best interest in some ways to give them too much freedom."
KU students are allowed 90 credit hours before they must declare a major. University officials are considering changing this allowance to 50 credit hours in order to force students to plan carefully when mapping out their college careers.
Minimum number of credit hours
Incoming freshmen, unsure of their ability to handle college coursework, often make the misguided decision of taking too few hours. A common misconception exists among many freshmen and their parents that taking more than 12 hours their first semester will be overwhelming.
McCluskey-Fawcett said students who take 12 hours their freshman year set in motion a pattern of taking 12 hours each subsequent semester, regardless of the difficulty of the classes. By the time their second year rolls around, students who took 12 hours each semester their first year are nearly one full semester behind.
Richard Morrell, associate vice provost for student success, said students should average at least 15.4 hours a semester to finish the 124 hours required to earn a degree from the University. He said students who start college taking 12 hours a semester have a 20 percent chance of graduating in four years.
Student jobs
Some students need to work full-time to put themselves through college, while others do not need to work at all. What the University is trying to determine is how many are working out of necessity and how many are working to pay for luxuries — such as an expensive apartment or car.
"We know some students have to work, but working 20 to 25 hours off campus while taking a full course load is difficult." Mr McCluskey-Fawcett said.
The University found students who work 10 to 15 hours on campus perform better in classes and are more likely to graduate in a timely fashion than their unemployed or over-employed counterparts.
While all of these factors may contribute to the University's low four-year graduation rate, the best predictor of a student's likelihood of graduating in four years is his or her ACT score. The higher the
score, the higher the probability a student will walk down the hill in four years.
"We wish there was a sub scale on the ACT for maturity," McCluskey-Fawcett said. "Some students are iust not ready."
McCluskey-Fawcett said, however, that some students had legitimate reasons for staying at the University for more than four years.
"Some have really good reasons for taking longer to graduate," she said. "Maybe they decide at the last minute to apply to medical school and they need to take extra classes. Or maybe they become ill or have complications with a family member. Things happen in people's lives."
Though it may seem the University would be thrilled with the added enrollment a low four-year graduation rate supplies,it actually hurts more than it helps.
"Some people think we like them to stay for a fifth year because we get an extra year of money out of them," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
She said, however, that the cost to educate in-state residents is higher than the cost of tuition, which places a strain on the University. Graduating students in a timely fashion is in the best interest of both the student and the school.
"Finishing in four years is in the economic interest of the student, not just for the cost of tuition and room and board, but for the loss of wages you didn't make a year you could have been working," she said.

The advisory board would be beneficial if it would determine where racial profiling exists in Lawrence, how it negatively affects people and how to fix the problem, he said.
"People use the excuse that it's all about our safety, and we shouldn't be politically correct," Guillot said. "But it's the assumption that a person who has a different skin color is more likely to commit a crime."
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Law-
rence Police Department said that stopping a person without cause and based on race is already illegal. The department would never condone an officer breaking the law, he said.
"We plan to fully comply with
the state law," Ward said. "We have never tolerated racial profiling by an officer."
High'berger said the advisory board would work without pay and would not cost the city much to operate. The board would consist of people affected by racial profiling and representatives from neighborhoods, businesses and law enforcement, he said. The mayor would select members, with consent from commissioners.
Victor Aguilar, president of the Hispanic American Leadership Association, said the advisory board would benefit Lawrence.
Aguilar, Dodge City junior, said he had been stopped by police because he is Hispanic. He said he had never been profiled in Lawrence and he didn't know anyone who had. But, he said, he has been

He said when he was 12, he was riding in a car with two of his father's farm hands when police stopped them. The officers searched the car, he said, but they did not issue any citations and gave no reason for the stop.
If an officer was accused of racial profiling in Lawrence, the advisory board could help settle the issue, Aguilar said.

For the past few months, the Kansas State Board of Education has been attempting to pass an opt-in policy for sex education. Kansans for Responsible Sex Education, a task force formed with the goal of derailing the opt-in policy, has managed to delay this decision.

The opt-in policy would require parents to sign permission slips for their children to learn about sexually-transmitted infections, healthy relationships, contraception and HIV/AIDS at Kansas public schools.
The federal government allocates $500 million annually for abstinence education. The basis of these programs is that the expected standard of sexual relationships is a mutually monogamous relationship in the context of marriage.
It has been widely recognized that abstinence has a high failure rate. Studies by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States show that 46 percent of high school students have had sexual intercourse.

I understand that abstaining from any form of penetration is the only way someone can be completely assured to not contract a sexually transmitted infection or conceive a child. Contraceptives do not work 100 percent of the time.
But by not teaching teens how to properly use condoms and birth control, we are drastically increasing the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
The only way we are going to be able to prevent teen pregnancy is by giving teens the facts and good guidance about making sexual decisions.
If we do not arm our youth with
comprehensive knowledge, we are responsible for the consequences
Comprehensive sex education discusses all aspects of sexual health, including abstinence.
More than 5,000 teens get pregnant or contract a sexuallytransmitted infection annually according to Planned Parenthood of Kansas & Mid-Missouri.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, there are studies that show teens who receive comprehensive sex education wait until they're older, which increases the proper use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
There have been no conclusive studies that have found that abstinence-only education reduces the rates of teenage sexual activity.

Neo-Nazis to blame for riot
regardless of who threw the first stone.
I would argue that, by virtue of its presence in a multiracial, urban environment, the National Socialist Movement did, in fact, "start the riot."
While I agree with the Kansan editorial board that freedom of speech should be protected, it seems to place the blame for the Toledo riots on inner-city residents, instead of on the neo-Nazis whose explicit purpose was to disrupt the city's black community and cause havoc.
And by withholding the site of the racist's rally, Toledo officials are also to blame. Three years ago, when the NSM held a "white unity rally" in Topeka, the demonstration site was made public weeks ahead of time, and a heavy police presence was used to contain the neo-Nazis, rather than counter-demonstrators
Far-right groups such as the NSM thrive on apologetic publicity as a means of spreading their racialist worldview. Every indication that I can see shows that the neo-Nazis scored a major victory in Toledo.
Unlike in Toledo, NSM activists couldn't capitalize on favorable press
coverage, and Topeka residents were able to channel their outrage in a productive way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
TAIURIUS (April 20-Mav 20)
Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005: You might want to think before leaping into wild projects. Just the same, you have the imagination, creativity and energy to nearly do the impossible. This is the year in which you can write the great idea you have been mulling over. Your creativity surges, and so do ways of making money. You might be very successful if you carefully think through your ideas — some might be very wild. There is a strong chance that you might want to work for yourself or change your job. If you are single, you might tumble into a sequence of love affairs or relate to someone very unpredictable. Excitement marks your love life. If you are attached, let some of your wild ideas enter your relationship. You can make money with SAGITTARIUS.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
★★★ You need to take an overview and detach. Events have been very intense of late. Seek out information and find experts, if possible. The more opinions you get, the better. Schedule a trip in the near future. Tonight. An insight could be uncomfortable. Still, internalize this perspective.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HADURS (April 20-31)
★★★ A partner calms down, making it easier to relate to him or her. In fact, suddenly this person is so talkative you might be shocked. A change in plans or a difficult meeting just is what it is. You cannot change what happens. Tonight: Quality time with a special person.
★★★★ Others seek you out, but they are not interested in your ideas. They simply want to talk and/or use you as a sounding board. A shakeup in the status quo or with a professional matter might stop you in your tracks.
Tonight: Don't fight the inevitable.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ Emphasize what you can accomplish rather than where you find problems. Learn ways to turn off your thinking. You hear surprising news, but it might not be the whole story. Tonight: Get some exercise.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22)
★★★ You are playful and an endless resource. Be open to enjoying yourself. What you say does mean a lot. Listen more carefully to a partner. Yes, he or she is being vague, but
you will find a solution. Tonight: Don't allow a partner or money matter to shake you up.
**★★★ Other simply want you to conform to their plans. You, however, have other ideas, like hanging at home. If you think you are going to be left alone, think again. The phone rings. Expect the unexpected, and you won't be caught off-guard. Tonight: Order in.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★ Finally, you feel like a breath of fresh air has hit. Catch on calls, news and meetings. You can finally turn a project around, but you might be surprised at others' responses.
Accept new technology. Tonight: Out and about.
★★★ A financial matter finally becomes clear, though you need to ask your set of questions. Your ideas are appreciated. Do not make any changes or investments involving property right now. Let go of rigidity. Tonight: Gather your bills.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You are the kinkin or queen-
pin right now, even if one particular person tries to shake you up. Use your assets and your mind to gain your objectives. Some of you just might want to enjoy yourselves. Tonight: Happy as a clam.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★ Know that at times even you,
as powerful as you are, need to step
back. In fact, your inner voice might
be telling you one thing while events
appear to be quite different. Step back and
observe. Tonight: Read a good book.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
***** Meetings and friends support you in your long-term goals. The problem might be more financial, creating what you desire. You might be surprised at the ideas that come from a brainstorming session. Tonight: Just don't be alone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
★★ You certainly have a way of adding new information or turning issues or situations upside down. A boss explains clearly what he wants or expects. Listen to what others want, or you could be in trouble. Tonight: Possibly working late.

Winning manager takes over losing Phillies
After eight years without a postseason, team gets Gillick
BY ROB MAADU
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — The losingest franchise in pro sports will have a proven winner in charge.
Pat Gillick, whose resume includes two World Series championships and nine playoff appearances, signed a three-year contract to become the Philadelphia Phillies' new general manager.
funding national
He replaces Ed Wade, who was fired after failing to get the team into the playoffs during his eight-year tenure.
"His record of success is outstanding and I believe that Pat is the right person to lead our baseball operations," Phillies president David Montgomery said Wednesday. "I'm very excited that he has decided to join us, and I look forward to working with him."
by KU
Then, the Phillies lost the World Series to Gillick's Toronto Blue Jays.
Gillick is joining an organization that has lost more games, 8,831, than any U.S. pro team and hasn't been to the playoffs since 1993.
"I'm very honored to be a part of the Phillies, an outstanding franchise," Gillick said. "We need to get over the hump and I look forward to that exciting challenge. I still have the passion and the competitive edge for the game and I think this is a very good situation."

Ready to take charge of his fourth major league team, the 68-year-old Gillick was chosen over former Houston Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker, Phillies assistant general managers Ruben Amaro Jr. and Mike Arbuckle, and Cleveland Indians assistant general manager Chris Antonetti.
A special consultant in the Mariners' front office the past two seasons, Gillick led Toronto to consecutive championships in 1923 and 1993. He also was general manager with Baltimore and Seattle.
Philadelphia went 88-74 this season and finished one game behind NL wild-card winner Houston.
It was the Phillies' third consecutive winning season and fourth in five years, but they missed the playoffs for the 12th straight year and 21st time in 22 seasons.
Long considered one of the best executives in baseball, Gillick helped his teams compile a

Gillick won five AL East titles in Toronto and led the Orioles to the AL championship series in 1996 and '97.
"Pat has accomplished a great deal in three situations," Phillies president David Montgomery said after he interviewed Gillick last Friday.
Montgomery fired Wade one week after the season ended under heavy pressure from a fan base that soured on the Phillies in just their second season at Citizens Bank Park.
Wade was heavily criticized in Philadelphia, especially after he fired manager Larry Bowa and hired Charlie Manuel.
Even though the Phillies were in the playoff race the entire season, attendance dropped off by almost 600,000, down from 3.25 million in 2004.
Once given the flexibility to increase payroll, Wade brought in Jim Thome, Kevin Millwood, Billy Wagner and Jon Lieber. Millwood was a bust in two seasons, Wagner is a free agent and Thome is on the trading block. However, young stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard emerged
under Wade's watch.
Gillick started his front-office career in 1963 with the Astros, spending 10 years there.
He joined the New York Yankees in 1974 as coordinator of player development.
In 1976, he joined the expansion Blue Jays, handling all baseball-related activities.
He went to Baltimore in 1996 and took over in Seattle in 2000.
Gillick has a difficult task in Philadelphia, even though the Phillies came close to reaching the playoffs.
The team has nearly $78 million committed to 11 players for next year, and Montgomery already said the payroll will stay around $95 million.
A tough decision must be made at first base involving Thome and Howard. Thome is
owed at least $43.5 million over the next three seasons and the Phillies probably will have to pay some of his salary to make a trade.
If Wagner doesn't return, the Phillies will have to replace the All-Star closer.
Gillick comes to the Phillies in time to attend the annual general managers' meetings, scheduled for Indian Wells, Calif., from Nov. 7-11.

FOOTBALL
Swanson utilizes clock to seal 'Hawk victory
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson's ability to manage the clock last week against Missouri was a huge factor in the 13-3 victory.
Kansas held the ball nearly 10 minutes longer than Missouri and was extremely effective at running out the clock in the second half when it had the 13-3 lead.
Swanson played a large roll in that process, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said.
"I really feel good about the way the offense handled themselves, especially in the fourth quarter when we wanted to move the ball, get first downs and still eat up the clock," Mangino said. "The game was managed well by the quarterback, who used the play clock very effectively."
Swanson ran the play clock down to one or two seconds late in the fourth quarter to maximize the time run off the game clock.
"I was trying to use as much game clock and play clock as we could, making sure we didn't get a delay of game." Swanson said. "At the same time, make
Swanson has had little or no experience running the clock down late in a game since arriving at Kansas. Mangino said that Swanson may have experienced managing the clock in one game, and that was last year's victory against Kansas State.
sure that we were not giving Missouri's offense a chance to get on the field."
The Kansas offense's goal was to give Missouri the ball with little or no time remaining late in the fourth quarter.
"We have a slow-down offense, where we feel we manage the clock well, give the ball back with very little time left, or if it works the way we really want it, they don't get the ball back," Mangino said.
Mangino said this offense was used when the team has a two-
score lead.
Swanson has had little or no experience running the clock down late in a game since arriving at Kansas. Mangino said that Swanson may have experienced managing the clock in one game, and that was last year's victory against Kansas State.
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson maneuvers past Missouri sophomore defensive lineman Lorenzo Williams during the first quarter of the game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Swanson rushed for 32 yards and passed for 90 more during the Jayhawk victory.
"We ended up with a fourth-down play with four seconds left," Mangino said. "We told him to gently turn around and pitch the ball to the tailback, told the tailback to the舞for about a second or two and just dive up-field and four seconds were gone. That is the extent of his clock management on the game field."
Extra Points:
Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker was named to the Ray Guy Award semifinalist list. The award is given annually to the nation's top college punter.
Tucker averages 43.3 yards per punt, which is fifth in the conference. Tucker was one of 10 selected for the award. The winner will be named on Dec. 8.

The pass play was put together after a Nebraska corner kick and a long-distance second-half goal. It left little doubt as to why Timko just received her second consecutive Big 12 Player of the Year award.
As a few fans made their way to the exit, both teams made staying for the remainder worth the price of admission.
Nebraska tacked on one more goal in the 82nd minute. Timko dropped a shot that almost looked as if it would go wide into the right corner of the goal.
It was senior forward Caroline Smith who scored the Jayhawks' only goal, an unassisted high shot that cleared Klages in the 86th minute.
The offense that powered victories in six of the Jayhawks' past seven games seemed to abandon them in the first half. Kansas had just three shots on goal, two of which were Caroline Smith's. The All-American had no explanation for her team's lack of offense in the first half.
"I don't know what was up with us in the first half," Smith said. "We just looked like we didn't want to be out there as much as they did."
Senior forward Jessica Smith was the only Jayhawk to record a shot on goal in the first 25 minutes of play. She later made a strong push and scored in the 54th minute, but the goal was called back on an offside call against Kansas.
"In the second half we dominated." Jessica Smith said. "But soccer is played in two halves. We learned a lesson from this. We have to play all 90 minutes, not just 45."
Coaching an offense that is rarely outdone, Francis' squad was out-shot 13-7 in the first half and 18-16 in the game. This shows the Jayhawks found their A-game in time to out-shoot the Huskers 9-5 in the second half.
After a halftime huddle in the makeshift field-side locker room, Kansas came out intense, but it wasn't enough to get to round two.
Game notes:
The Jayhawks brought with them their own cheering section to enjoy San Antonio's sunny, but breezy, weather. Not that this week's tournament was any
different than any other road game. These parents are known for being on-site support.
"We've missed just three of all of their games this year. We come to all of them, and we're from Colorado," said Karon Sauer, mother of sohomore defender Afton Sauer.
Mary Minor, mother of freshman defender Jenny Murtaugh, added that it was watching Kansas soccer that had them paired up yesterday in the stands.
They said they didn't travel together,but saw each other at the airport and talked on the phone a lot.
Undoubtedly, that support has aided the Jayhawks, who look to get a bid into the NCAA tournament on Monday.

After the Missouri meet, Campbell said that Leidigh was just getting a glimpse at how fast she really was.
Now that she has an idea of her swimming abilities with the Jayhawks, Leidigh has set goals for herself for the remainder of the season and also for the future.
"My goal is to make NCAAs this spring," Leidigh said. "And this wouldn't happen until the summer, but another goal is to make the Olympic trials."
Much of the credit for her speed goes to Campbell, who has helped with her swim technique, Leidigh said.
"My technique is something
that has definitely made me faster." Leidigh said.
Leidigh also said that the energy of the team and the support it had given her had helped her freshman campaign.
Former KU swimmer Amy Gruber also won the National Collegiate Swimmer of the Week award last year after her performance at the Nike Cup meet. Gruber not only went to the NCAA Swimming Championships, she also qualified for the 2008 Olympic Trials this spring.
Leidigh's goals are Gruber's achievements, and if all goes as planned, Leidigh will follow in her footsteps.

Top high school player commits to Kansas
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self might have landed the Jayhawks another recruit, this time for the class of 2007. Recruiting Web site rivals.com reported that Cole Aldrich, a 6-foot-10-inch junior forward/center from Jefferson High School in Bloomington, Minn., has given the Jayhawks a verbal commitment.
"I have made my final decision and I am going to attend the University of Kansas," Aldrich told rivals.com.

Aldrich, the No. 9-ranked player in the country by rivals. com, told the site that he made his decision on Monday, which was also his 17th birthday. He said he called Self Monday morning and told him his decision. He chose Kansas over Minnesota and North Carolina.

Kansas wants to lose losing streak
'Hawks have lost 36 games to 'Huskers
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITTER
Kansan file photo
The last time Kansas defeated Nebraska, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was in junior high school in western Pennsylvania and had never been to the state of Kansas.
That was in 1968, when No. 9-ranked Kansas knocked off No. 6 Nebraska 23-13 in Lincoln, Neb.
For 36 straight contests, Nebraska has dominated the series and has compiled victory after victory.
Now, this weekend, Mangino and the rest of the Kansas team will try to put a stop to one of the more embarrassing streaks in the country. Only Navy's 41-game losing streak to Notre Dame is longer.
Mangino said that although the team was aware of the streak, it was not affecting its preparation for the game. He said he knew what a victory would mean to the Jayhawk nation.
"For all of our great fans that have been loyal Jayhawk supporters, it would mean so much for them," Mangino said. "But all we can do is take care of our preparation. We are not going to be stuck on this streak thing. It is the 2005 Jayhawks versus the 2005 Huskers."
Although Mangino said he would ignore the streak this week in practice, several players said they were well aware of Nebraska's dominance.
"There's definitely the knowledge there that they have beaten us so many times in a row," Kevin Kane, senior linebacker, said. "You try to ignore it, but we know it's there."
Kane said continuing the momentum gained from defeating Missouri last weekend 13-3 was more important to focus on.
He said if the team could feed off the momentum and keep playing sound, fundamental football, the streak would take care of itself.
If Kansas does come out victorious Saturday against Nebraska, the question will be whether fans storm the field and attempt to tear down the goal posts as they did last weekend after the victory against Missouri.
Mangino said there was not
We are not going to be stuck on this streak thing. It is the 2005 Jayhawks versus the 2005 Huskers."

a lot he could do to control the situation but that he preferred fans stay in the stands after the game.
"I can't stand under the goal posts and prevent it," Mangino said. "But I prefer they stay in their seats. It is the safest place for everyone involved. It is a
tradition we could live without."
Theo Baines, senior cornerback who had the game-clinching play last weekend, said he thought it was exciting when all the fans came onto the field but knew it was a dangerous tradition.
"If we win, I think they will try to get them down again," Baines said. "It's not scary for me as a player to see them on the field, but anything can happen. I think it's exciting to see the fans running out."
BASEBALL
Jerome Kemp, junior safety, said the team's plan after the game against Missouri was to go over to the student section and thank them for coming. Kemp said if the team were victorious again this weekend, he would prefer that instead of the fans coming onto the field.

Fall practice for the Kansas baseball team ended in mid-October and the team is optimistic and confident for its first game on Feb. 1. With only 15 days to practice, the team changed the routine it used last season, which was daily scrimmages in order to play as many innings as possible, to a traditional practice and play format.

"I thought it was the most productive fall we've had in the four years that I've been at KU," Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price said. "But I also think that that's a byproduct of having so many experienced players back that are familiar with the system and have been successful at this level, you know, but I feel very, very good about the fall."
Price already named the captains for this year's team. They will
be senior outfielder Matt Baty, senior pitcher Don Czyz and senior infielder Ritchie Price.
Price said he was impressed with the improvement of the infield, as all four starters are returning.
Kansas will look to fill spots vacated by pitcher Mike Zagurski and catcher Sean Richardson, who were lost to graduation. Former outfielder A.J. Van Slyke signed with the St. Louis Cardinals after being drafted as a junior into the Major League Baseball amateur draft last spring. Because of these losses, fall practice showcased key position battles.
Price said that senior pitcher Ricky Fairchild, who transferred to Kansas from Tulane, would replace Zagurski in the starting rotation. Sophomore outfielder John Alman will look to fill the third outfield spot. The competition to replace Richardson at catcher wasn't settled, so freshman Buck Afenir
For Price and Baty, fall practice has become routine. However, some freshmen, such as pitcher Paul Smyth, weren't sure what to expect.
"It itse like there's a lot more focus and dedication to actually use a practice to, you know, get
"It's actually really, really exciting to watch the competition because it's never been that deep since I've been here," Baty said.
"The biggest difference is, I think we've got three solid pitchers that can start anywhere in the Big 12, and I think that's going to make a big difference this year." Baty said. "We've still got the offense that's always been here and the defense, but we were always lacking the pitching."
Baty said this was the best fall practice he'd witnessed, and he said he thought the pitching staff made the most progress. Fairchild, junior Sean Land and senior Kodiak Quick will anchor the rotation, Baty said.
things done and improve their own skills, as opposed to high school, where there's people just kind of sitting around all the time," Smyth said. Another new face on the team will be assistant coach Rick Sabath. Sabath came to Kansas after coaching three seasons at Garden City Community College.
"The coaching staff are really good people and that made it an easy adjustment, and the players have been very receptive and fun to get to know," Sabath said. "Plus, just coming to work here every day at Allen Fieldhouse is an awesome thing for me and I couldn't be happier, really."
Price said the team must wait until Jan. 15 to begin practicing for the spring. Until then, position coaches can work on fundamentals with as many as four players at a time. Baty said the team could also have scrimmages before Jan. 15 as long as no coaches were involved.

Two such players are Quick and junior pitcher Ryotaro Hayakawa, who are recovering from arm injuries. Both were able to pitch on limited pitch counts the last weekend of fall practice and will likely be ready to go in January.

Loss leaves Kansas on the bubble
BY ALISSA BAUER
abauer@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
SAN ANTONIO — The intensity that Nebraska reached during its 3-1 victory against Kansas on Wednesday made it hard to believe the Cornhuskers were held scoreless when the teams met earlier this season.
The Cornhuskers owned the opening 45 minutes of the Big
12 Tournament's first-round game. They jumped to a 2-0 lead, and by the time the Jayhawks got their offense rolling it was too late.
"I don't know why we came out flat in the first half," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "When you go into halftime down two, though, it's a tough hill to climb."
The loss leaves Kansas on the bubble for this year's NCAA Tour.
nament. The Jayhawks will learn their fate Monday, when ESPN News announces tournament bids between 4 and 4:30 p.m.
"I don't think they realized that we're in the postseason now," Francis said. "If for some reason we don't get in the NCAA tournament, our season is over. As the head coach, it's part of my job to get them ready to play. I thought we were ready today, but when the game started they
obviously weren't."
No. 22 Nebraska improved its Big 12 Tournament record against Kansas to 3-0 and ended the Jayhawks' recent surge of momentum,
Freshman forward Aysha Jamani gave Nebraska a lead it would not lose early in the match. In the 13th minute, Jamani sent a bullet to the back left corner of the goal, beating freshman goalkeeper Julie Hanley.
Hanley finished with seven saves to trump Nebraska freshman keeper Jamie Klages' five, but she cared little about the numbers.
"Regardless, if I had more saves — ultimately they won the game," Hanley said. "It is disappointing. We had high expectations."
Jamani's goal marked the first for either team when facing each other this season.
The duo put up a 0-0 tie after two overtimes in the regular season.
The scoring rut in the pair's last match was evidently a blip in the efficient Husker offense, as sophomore midfielder Jessie Bruch used an assist from Big 12
Player of the Year Brittany Timko to score the team's second goal in the 27th minute.

Tourney hopes dim after loss to Colorado
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The opening game was different Wednesday night, but in the end it was the same old song for Kansas. A 3-1 home loss to Colorado.
The jaynawks have now lost eight straight matches, dating back to Oct. 1, and any chance they had of reaching the NCAA tournament has likely vanished in the process.
Wednesday's match, at least, had a new wrinkle that conspired to befall Kansas.
With the match tied 1-1 and the score knotted at 26-all in game three, a violation was called on junior defensive specialist Dani Wittman as she was preparing to serve. The referee ruled that Wittman had taken more than the allotted five seconds to put the ball into play, and Colorado was awarded a point and the serve. The Buffaloes went on to win the game and grab the momentum that carried them to victory.
"First time I've seen it," said Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard, who is in his 21st season coaching collegiate volleyball. "When things aren't going quite like you'd hope, things like that seem to find you."
Kansas got on the board first with a 30-26 victory in game one. Runs of 8-0 and 7-0 proved to be too much for Colorado to overcome.
The Buffaloes evened the match in the second game. They grabbed a 16-9 lead in the middle of the frame and held that margin until the Jayhawks came alive. Down 27-21, Kansas scored nine of the next 11 points for a 30-29 lead. After a side out, Colorado ran off two straight points to win 32-30.

Kansas appeared to seize the momentum in the early stages of game three. The Jayhawks jumped out to a 4-0 lead and kept that degree of separation for most of the game. The Buffaloos closed the gap to 18-17, however, and eventually tied it at 22.
After the controversial third game,game four was decided by a 6-0 run by Colorado, which gave it an insurmountable 25-16 lead over a deflated Kansas squad.
The Jayhawks fell to 12-11 overall and 4-10 in conference play. Senior outside hitter Paula Caten led the Jayhawks with 17 kills. Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown tallied 16.
Brown said she and her teammates would fight to the end, despite the uphill battle that lies ahead.
"We've got to win now," she said. "If we're down 29-10, I think we still have a chance. I think our whole team feels that way."

A TEXAN'S TAKE
Preseason poll absence helps relieve pressure
For the first time in 15 years, the Kansas men's basketball team did not appear in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Preseason Poll.
Good. This doesn't mean that the Jayhawks will have a down year. Being unranked to start the season will simply take the pressure off of a team that will feature 11 freshmen and sophomores.
"The preseason polls are an indication on what you have coming back because that's all anyone can predict, and of course, we lost an awful lot." Tim Jankovich. Kansas men's assistant basketball coach, said. "It's really not something we think or talk, or even care much about."
And the Jayhawks shouldn't. What does this team have to lose? Not nearly as much as last year's team, which was ranked No. 1 in the same poll.
This year's team will get better toward the end of the season after the players have developed more chemistry on the hardwood. This will be a team prepared for battle in March. Kansas will receive an early test when it travels to Hawaii on Nov. 21 to take on No. 9 Arizona. There's also the Jan. 7 home game against No. 10 Kentucky. Then, there's Big 12 Conference play against No. 2 Texas, No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 23 Iowa State, among others.
The Jayhawks may not be a No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament, but unlike college football and the Bowl Championship Series, a team doesn't have to be No.1 or 2 to play in the national title game. As long as a college basketball team is ranked in the Top 65, its chances for winning a championship stay alive until it is knocked out of March Madness.
ERICK SORRENTINO
ESORRENTINO@KANSAN.COM
Towering preseason expectations and pressure played a factor in last season's letdown.
Being ranked No. 1 before the season started painted a red bull's-eye on Kansas basketball jerseys.
One of the disadvantages of being the top-ranked team is that every visitor will likely bring its best game, despite what the team's record shows. Kansas witnessed scares against Vermont, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Nebraska at home and dropped a rare home game to Iowa State last season.
But Kansas doesn't have to be No.1 in the nation to have success. It's hard to equate the 1988 Kansas team to this year's squad, but Danny and the Miracles were a sixth seed in the tournament the year they won the national title.
Furthermore, history shows that two of the most-talented teams in KU history have had early March Madness exits. In 1997, Kansas was ranked first in the nation but lost to Arizona in the third round of the tournament.
The 1998 No.1 seeded Kansas team lost to Rhode Island in the second round.
This year's freshmen won't be scrutinized for every mistake they make. They won't be asked questions after every game regarding a national title appearance.
Expectations are lower, and that's good. This year's team only has to get out of the first round of the tournament to have more success than last year's team.

Kansas freshman swimmer Ashley Leidigh was named a collegeswimming.com National Collegiate Swimmer of the Week on Wednesday for her performance against the Missouri Tigers last weekend.
Leidigh is also in the running for Big 12 Conference Swimmer of the Week, Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said.
Ashley Leidigh Freshman swimmer
"I did not expect to be swimming this fast this early in the season."
Leidigh recorded victories in four events at the Missouri meet Friday, leading Kansas to its first victory over Missouri in six
years and its first Big 12 victory of the season.
Leidigh shattered the Kansas pool record in the 100-yard butterfly event with a time of 55 seconds. The previous pool record was 55.56. Leidigh's other three victories came in the 200-yard butterfly, the 100-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle relay.
"I am very honored," Leidigh said. "It was very unexpected."
The National Collegiate Swimmer of the Week selection committee includes head coaches from ten different colleges.
As a newcomer to the swimming and diving team, Leidigh didn't know how fast she would swim.
"I did not expect to be swimming this fast this early in the season," Leidigh said.

Editor's note
You can do it if you set your mind to it. Two years ago my dad proved it to me when he set a New Year's goal for himself: Lose 100 pounds and run a marathon in a year. When he told me his plan I said, " Yeah right dad."
Every morning before work, he ran. On his lunch break, he cycled. And after work, he swam laps. By June, my dad had lost more than 50 pounds and was days away from completing a triathalon. On December 5, 2004, my dad completed the
Tucson Marathon in four hours. And he was 95 pounds lighter.
Call it cliche,but watching my dad reach his goal truly inspired me to set some lofty goals for myself.
It's your turn to be inspired. Read Kathryn Anderson's story about triathletes and one KU student training to reach his goal: To become an Ironman.

Are you game?
Game meat has perks over beef and chicken

TURKEY
by Laura Snyder, Jayplay writer
THE BIG SHELF
Hunter Anderson, Overland Park senior, has been hunting since he was 8 years old. Now 22, Anderson is no stranger to such dishes as quail, pheasant, goose and duck. He says he likes wild game meat because it's different. And he's not alone. People are tired of beef and chicken, says Brenda Mutchler, owner of Game Sales International, based in Loveland, Colo. Mutchler's company sells pheasant, quail, deer, elk, rabbit, ostrich and kangaroo meat, among others.
"Even after the novelty of trying something new has worn off, people go back to it," she says.
Leaner and cleaner
For the health-conscious, game meat offers several advantages. Because game animals do not live in cramped pens or eat grain, they are free of antibiotics and hormones and are much leaner than grain-fed animals, says John Hackathorn, owner of Hacks Outfitters, 941 E. $ 23^{\mathrm{rd}} $ St.
But let the nutrition information speak for itself. According to David Pederson, operations manager and Web master for Seattle's Finest Exotic Meats, a serving of deer meat has 120 calories and 2 grams of fat, compared to a serving of lean hamburger, which has 272 calories and 18 grams of fat. In fact, game animals are so much learner that pork or beef fat has to be added to ground game meat so it doesn't burn when cooking, Hackathorn says.
Tastes like chicken
If you're wrinkling your nose at the thought of eating squirrel with biscuits and gravy, there's no need to be so hesitant. Game meat, if prepared correctly, should be difficult to distinguish from regular meat, says Hackathorn.
"You can go buy a T-bone steak and if you don't cook it right, it won't taste right," he says. "If it's prepared right, I can turn a vegetarian into a meat-eater."
Hackathorn says the biggest mistake people make when cooking game meat is overcooking it. He's seen people salt and pepper a game steak and grill it until it dries out and gets tough. Instead, Hackathorn recommends putting a steak in hot water for a couple minutes, then flouring it and searing it in a skillet with three-fourths of an inch of oil. The steak should be cooked on each side until blood stops coming out. He advises leaving it a little pink in the center for tenderness.
Even when game meat is prepared correctly, it may have a light "game" taste — but only light, says Mutchler. Hunters seem unable to describe this "game" taste, other than that it exists.
"People who are really finicky about stuff might think it tastes different, but I think it tastes the same as regular meat," says Zachary Baker, an Olathe senior who has been hunting since he was 6.
Jayplay 11.03.05
The taste also depends on what the animal eats. Hackathorn has eaten deer meat with a distinct sage flavor to it, but says he will never eat snake.
"I know what snakes eat," he says, referring to their diet of mice and rabbits. For those new to game meat, Anderson recommends starting with pheasant, which he says tastes much like dark chicken meat, in a cream sauce.
"The cream sauce knocks the taste of the game off a little bit," he says.
Next best thing
Imported and farm-raised meats can be bought online from companies like Mutchler's and Pederson's.
Or you can head over to Dillon's, Hy-Vee or the Community Mercantile. All of these grocery stores sell buffalo meat, which is leaner than beef and can be substituted for it in most recipes.
If you aren't ready to grab your rifle and head out to shoot a deer, don't worry. There are other ways to enjoy healthy meat. While you can't purchase game meat — the sale of it is illegal —
You might one day encounter game-meat on a friend's or relative's dinner table. Here's what to expect from a few popular game meats:
What am I eating?
Elk — Leanest game meat, difficult to distinguish from beef and buffalo
Deer — Game-ier than elk, with a stronger taste
6
you can still get some of its health benefits of game meat close to home. Local Burger, 714 Vermont St., serves buffalo and elk burgers. It uses meat from farms where the animals are free of antibiotics and hormones and are grass-fed instead of grain-fed. Owner Hilary Brown says that just like game meat, grass-fed meat is leaner and healthier than grain-fed meat.
Rabbit — Chicken-like texture
Squirrel -- Plain, not much game taste
Quail - White meat, similar to chicken
Beaver -- Dark meat, can easily be mistaken for beef
Frog legs — You'll be able to tell they're frog legs by the way they look.
Duck - Rich, dark meat
Pheasant - A little stronger flavor and tougher than chicken, dark meat
Buffalo — (farm-raised) A little stronger but difficult to distinguish from beef, much leaner than beef

You'll love the atmosphere at Stone Creek, just not as much as you'll love the food. With a menu that offers pizza, pasta, steaks and chops, there's definitely something for everyone, and at any budget. Prices range from about $20 for a steak to around $7 for a sandwich.

The covered outdoor patio is the largest in Lawrence, but when it gets cold, the dark, warm wood décor inside is equally inviting. Stop by on a Sunday for brunch, grab a quick meal in the afternoon, or make it a date spot. Attire is casual, but hey, dress up if you feel like it, the folks at Stone Creek won't mind.

By Katy Humpert, Jayplay writer
809 Vermont St.
Headmasters
Located in a remodeled Victorian home, Headmasters has a classic and elegant feel right when you walk in. You first notice the beautiful chandelier and wood staircase in the front room and are quickly offered an herbal tea or organic coffee. Kristen Sigmund, Ballwin Mo, senior, says she goes to Headmasters for the relaxing atmosphere and the hospitality. She says she enjoys the complimentary neck, shoulder and hand massage and is always happy with her haircut. She says she would recommend an appointment with Kevin to anyone heading to Headmasters for a first-time visit.
Prices: Haircuts range from $25 to $50 and include a complimentary neck, shoulder and hand massage. Foil highlights start at $75.
Ladies or Gents: While the majority of clients are female, Headmasters also caters to males. Katy Pitt, Headmasters employee and St. Paul, Minn., junior, says about 40 percent of the salon's clients are male.
Other services or specials: Headmasters offers waxing, starting at $15 for a brow wax. Also, beginning Oct. 24, Headmasters will be looking for volunteer models for its advanced training program, which gives newly-hired stylists a chance to gain experience before becoming full-time employees. Models will receive free haircuts on Tuesdays from noon to 6 p.m.
Why go here? Pitt says what sets Headmasters apart is the focus on the education of its stylists. She says the salon constantly works to retrain its stylists' eyes, keeping them up to date on the latest styles.
finding someone you trust to cut your hair is a trying process, especially for girls. Jessica Arthur, Tulsa, Okla., senior, has been struggling to find a new hairdresser after hers moved to Kansas City several months ago. She's terrified to get her hair cut at a random salon, worried the consequences could be disastrous. She says she just needs some input on quality places in town where she can get her hair cut at a reasonable price. There are, after all, more than 30 barbershops and beauty salons in Lawrence. After talking to several students to find out where they go for new hairdos, Jayplay's got a rundown of some of the more popular locations.
Downtown Barber Shop
824 Massachusetts St.
Just like its name suggests, Downtown Barber Shop has a familiar, hometown ambiance. Walk-ins are welcome any time and, while the wait is usually short, customers can pass the time taking in the sports memorabilia coating every flat surface in the shop or listening to the barbers talk sports or tell jokes with the customers. Rick Evanhoe, Derby senior, says the main reason he frequents the Downtown Barber Shop is because of its authentic barbershop atmosphere and friendly barbers who do a decent job of cutting his hair.
Ladies or Gents: Traditionally, a barbershop caters to males, and the Downtown Barber Shop is no exception. Jon Amyx, owner and Lawrence resident, says almost all of his customers are male, but that because the shop now has a female barber, it may start attracting some female customers.
Prices: A regular haircut costs $8 and a basic military haircut costs $7.
Other services or specials: Downtown Barber Shop simply cuts hair. But Amyx points out that it also has the best prices in hair care products in town and possibly in the entire Midwest. Coupons for a discounted haircut are usually available in the college coupon book, Amyx says.
Why go here? Amyx says that while his super-cheap hair care products attract many customers, even more customers come back for the friendly service. He says customers who now live in Florida and Chicago still stop by the Downtown Barber Shop for their regular haircuts whenever they are in town.The loyalty of his customers shows that a simple haircut and pleasant, wisecracking barbers really make a difference to the customers.
Z's Cosmetology Academy
2429 Iowa St.
The atmosphere of Z's Cosmetology Academy is not typical of a beauty salon, probably because it isn't a beauty salon. It's a school. The interior design isn't extravagant — it really is just a big open room — but it's pleasant enough to make you feel comfortable.The academy is usually crowded, filled with cosmetology instructors, students and plenty of Lawrence residents waiting for a haircut. Allison Fine, Omaha, Neb. graduate student, says she goes to Z's for its cheap haircuts.
Ladies or Gents: Men and women are welcome at Z's Cosmetology Academy. After all, the students need experience doing both men's and women's haircuts. Kimberly Ashley, the school's coordinator,says about a fourth of the academy's customers are male.
"I don't really need to spend $30 just to trim my hair," Fine says.
Prices: Only $5 for a haircut, male or female. Highlights start at $25.
Other services or specials: The cosmetology students also offer facials for $20, manicures (not acrylics) for $15 and facial waxes for $5. Ashley says the academy regularly runs coupons for $5 off highlights in the Lawrence Journal-World.
Why go here? Ashley says the biggest reason for the school's large client base is the price. And you need not worry that you'll have a beauty school "flunky" cutting your hair, because the students must have more than 500 hours of experience in a classroom setting before working in the salon, and instructors work with the students at the beginning and end of the haircut session to make sure the customer is happy with the cut. Ashley says it really is the cheapest place in town for a haircut.

These neighboring salons, owned by the same person, provide salon-quality haircuts for everyone. The Haircut accommodates men, while Sakaroff's is geared toward women.
The Haircut's atmosphere is undeniably masculine, complete with Playboy and Rolling Stone magazines, pictures of KU sporting legends decorating the walls, a pool table for clients to use while waiting and hair care products stored in Ace Hardware tool boxes. But, despite the rumors, there are no strippers to be found here. Scottie Lezniak, Arlington Heights, Ill., senior, says he goes to The Haircut because it is much more professional than the nationwide chains. And, he admits, he really likes the reading material available.
Sakaroff's has recently expanded its services and updated its look. The salon has a streamlined, modern interior with loud eclectic music to add to its hip environment. A new standout feature in the salon is its 32-foot color bar. Customers can pick out the exact hair color they want and watch their stylists mix the color right in front of them. Elizabeth Ault, Topeka senior, says she goes to Sakaroff's for the quality.
"It's a little expensive, but I will pay for a good haircut," she says.
Ault says her favorite stylist is Ryan because he really understands how to cut hair, especially her curly hair.
Ladies or Gents: The Haircut is for men exclusively. Females wanting their hair cut will have to go next door to Sakaroff's Salon. But Abby Angelotti, a Sakaroff's stylist, says about 20 percent of Sakaroff's clients are male, most of them coming for the highlighting services.
Prices: A haircut, including a shampoo and style, is $20 at the Haircut. Haircuts at Sakaroff's start at $36 and highlights start at $61.
Other services or specials: The Haircut cuts and cleans male hair. Sakaroff's is a complete beauty salon, offering waxing starting at $15, body massages for $65 and facials for $60. Both salons run coupons in the Yellow Book for $5 off any service.
Why go here? Nicole Hahn, The Haircut employee, says last year, most of the men's basketball team stopped by for regular trims. She says the customers really like the manly atmosphere, especially the Playboy magazines and the pool table, and it keeps them coming back. Angelotti says Sakaroff's differs from other salons because of its fun and hip environment. She says the hair-styling techniques used at the salon are always different and the latest in-styles. Angelotti adds that the salon's success is proven by the large number of return clients.

In the sport of triathlon three is never a crowd
Bv Kathryn Anderson, Jayplay writer
On the last leg of the race, he's not thinking much, only about the finish line. He calls this "The Zone." He runs a mental check: Legs. Posture. Cadance. All good. "Does anything hurt?" he asks himself. Well, yes. Everything hurts. This is, after all, a triathlon. He looks for a buddy, a distraction, somebody to help block the noise
of his body, screaming at him to stop. But he won't stop until the finish line is behind him. Todd Beauford was the kid who never made the "A" team, and next summer he'll run the Ironman Triathlon.
He looks the part. At 6 feet 2 inches and 180 pounds, his stats are ideal for a triathlete. He'd know. Although Beaufort is a rookie in the Ironman, he's a seasoned triathlon veteran. It was 10 years ago that Beaufort trained for his first race.
"All the people who
said I'd never be good enough can't touch me in this," he says.
The sport of triathlon, called both grueling and inspiring, attracts all kinds of people. Today, there is a race suitable for everyone regardless of experience, gender,
The sport of triathlon grew quickly. This year, USA Triathlon, the sport's governing body, has 60,000 members. Five years ago it had 21,500 members, which roughly equals the number of members who are currently competing in the 30 to 39 age group alone. Participation in the popular, all-women's Danskin Triathlon has increased by 69 percent since 2000, according to its Web site.Worldwide, there are 150 national triathlon federations that are united by the International Triathlon Union.
skill or age. Anybody can be a triathlete, even you. That is, of course, if you are up for the training.
By the numbers
Beauford, like many triathletes, is his own best competition, regardless of the number of people competing in a race. But the races are becoming more crowded. The sport of triathlon is more popular than ever, thanks to the adventurous masses of sinewy athletes who find three events far superior to one.
More than 1,200 men and women tread water near shore. Some wear wetsuits. All heads are capped and goggled. In a split second, everybody is moving. From a bird's-eye view, the murky green of the

lake transforms to frothy white. Pumping arms and legs punctuate the turbulent churning water.This is how the triathlon begins. When it ends, competitors have swam, pedaled then finished on foot a race designed to honor the fittest of the fit. And it takes fitness to swim, bike and run across miles of water and terrain in only a matter of hours.
Beauford says the swim start is nuts. "For some reason, that 3:30 a.m. wakeup call doesn't bother me on raceday."
As a strong swimmer, Beauford makes sure to be in the water first. Weaker swimmers, he explains, should stay in the back. When he encounters slow-pokes Beauford does not hesitate to pull them under by the ankle. It sounds brutal, but Beauford says it's necessary.

The three recognized triathlon formats vary from extremely challenging to seemingly impossible. The shortest triathlon is a sprint. The word "sprint" loosely de-

The Olympic distance triathlon is the sport's standard course, named for the distance covered by triathletes competing in the Olympic games. Competitors race against others in their age groups. These athletes can be as young as 16. The Olympic distance race covers 32 miles of water and ground. Participants complete a.9-mile swim, a 24.8-mile bike and a 6.2-mile run. The top triathletes take about two hours to finish.
Try it
Thanks to the nearly exponential growth of the sport, variations on the triathlon accommodate those who are interested in multi-sport, but are intimidated by the sheer length of the traditional triathlon. The duathon combines just two elements: running and biking.The aquathon requires just swimming and running.
The longest race, and the most publicized, is the Ironman triathlon. Athletes competing for the prestigious title of Ironman start the day with a 2.4-mile ocean swim. Back on land they bike a 112-mile course, followed by a full marathon — 26.2 miles. Competitors have 17 hours — from 7 a.m. to midnight — to complete the 140-mile course. Participants must be 18 or older to compete for the Ironman title.

22,000 people internationally will have competed in one of the 18 ironman races by the end of this year. Almost 30 years ago the race involved only 15 men, navy seals stationed in Hawaii who wondered which athletes were the fittest in the world: swimmers, cyclists or runners.
Navy commander John Collins thought there was only one way to find out. Combine all three.The winner, those 15 decided, would be crowned Ironman.

Now the Ironman world championship in Hawaii is televised and viewed by 50 million people. According to USA Triathlon, NBC's coverage of the big race has earned six Emmy awards since 1992.
Josh Hernandez of Ironman North America says, "People who participate want to push their personal limits, and want to do this by finishing, arguably the toughest sporting event out there."
He's collected a colorful wardrobe of inspiring stories. People like Scott Johnson, a 33-year-old who's finished 15 triathlons since his double lung transplant. This Saturday, along the coast of Florida's Panama Beach City, Johnson will finish his first ironman triathlon.
Beauford began training for Ironman Coeur D'Alene in Idaho last month, an early start for a June event. He just ended a six-month recuperation period
after knee surgery. He was injured not in a race, but while playing basketball. The turn of events will add another four months to his training. He devotes 10 to 20 hours each week to training.
Beginner triathletes need not panic. Training programs put your experience and fitness level above all else.Triathlon coaches and online training programs can offer rookies quality assistance for a price.
Online coaching sites save you money, while giving you access to valuable resources and interactive coaching. Beginner Triathlete, www.beginnertriathlete.com, offers a six-month subscription for $25.The cost of a personal triathlon coach is steep, starting around $225 per month, and there is usually a start-up fee.
The sport of triathlon demands plenty of equipment. Vickers says quality is key. He always encourages people to deal with a local bike shop to ensure
you receive the support needed in selecting a bike that fits.Triathlon-specific bikes typically start at $2,000. If purchasing a new bike is improbable, local cycling clubs usually sell their used equipment.
Quality footwear, as well, is well worth the money. Bike shoes for triathlons are designed for fast, easy transitions. Look for a pair that is easy to put on and is secured by a single Velcro strap. Most bike shoes cost upwards of $100 and, like the bicycles, can get quite expensive.
A wet suit may be worn, depending on the water temperature at each race. Triathlon-specific wetsuits are available for about $250.
Profile of a triathlete
Kai Sun Luk has a runner's glow. All smiles and lean muscle, Sun Luk, a Hong Kong senior in architecture, talks about running in China and competing in triathlons here in the states.
His has been a five-year endeavor, one that began in high school under the encouragement of his track coach.
that he needed to finish up before all his tests start. The tests and studio time, he complains, rob him of the precious sleep necessary for training.
Balance, according to Vickers, is highly important to triathlon training on any level. "Balance your life; make sure you keep time for family, friends and other interests. Otherwise, triathlon can become a negative instead of a positive," he says. "People tend to get very nervous and apprehensive, or cannot get over 'the hump,' and think they will never do a triathlon. Anyone can do a triathlon."
Sun Luk recently ran in the Shawnee Mission Triathlon, his sixth triathlon. Last year at the same race, he finished third. It was his last race of the season. He explains
Sun Luk trains daily for an hour and a half, usually with two friends. He prefers to run with company. He loves drinking milk ("Oh yeah, Kai loves milk," his friend confirms). When recalling his highest placement, he confidently says, "First." Then, maybe a bit embarrassed, he explains he was the sole competitor.
Beauford has his sights set on competing in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. He'll have to finish the qualifier in Coeur d' Lane Ironman in less than 10 hours to qualify. After racing in the World Championship, he says he'll have sufficiently scratched his Ironman itch.
Training for beginners
There are basic training guidelines for which you need not pay, Mike Vickers, Lawrence resident and co-author of Swim, Bike, Run, a training guide for "serious, but not professional" triathletes, is a competitive cyclist and former triathlete. He says beginners should schedule a minimum of two workouts in each discipline per week.
Use time, not distance, as your guide.
Adjust it according to the distance you plan to compete. For sprint distance training, plan to spend eight hours per week. For an Olympic course, 12 hours.
Training for an Ironman requires around 15 hours each week. Vickers says to watch for difficulty sleeping, lethargy, irritability and loss of appetite, which are signs of overtraining. To avoid it, take a break from training every month.
Also, balanced nutrition will be crucial to your progress and energy level.
"But triathlon's addicting," he says before he mentions the 2008 Olympic trials.
"We'll see where life takes me."

What's an "odilof?" — Jill, Junior
?
Brian: An odilof is the scientific name for a person, commonly a man, who has sex with deer. Here's a little known fact: Jessica's dad's middle name is Odilof.
Jessica: I hate my life. I knew Daddy's hunting habit had gotten out of hand when he started teaching me his favorite deer mating calls.
?
I've been with my girlfriend for six months and I'm dying to try anal with her. I joke about it all the time, but I'm actually serious. I have a feeling she hates it just from the look on her face when I joke. Is it even worth talking about to find out? — Brendan, Sophomore
Jessica: Who needs talk when you can have an "accident"? Whooops! It just slipped in the wrong hole. Would 'ya look at that? If she smiles and goes with it, she's good to go. If she jumps up screaming, holding her ass as she sprints to the bathroom, you best not be having any more "accidents." Brendan, if you want to put it in her butt that badly, sit down with her and ask her, but don't be surprised if she turns you down. There may be a reason behind that whole theory concerning out-holes and in-holes, after all.
Brian: As tempting as Jessica's idea to "accidentally" stick it in could be, that might result in multiple scars on your arms, face or worse, your member. You acknowledged what her reactions have been like when you've jokingly mentioned it, so you should know what her reaction will be if you try to talk to her about it. Save yourself the conversation and heartbreak and with this girl just eat this idea. With your next girlfriend, you might want to tell her that anal sex is a must.
?
My girlfriend hates her roommate who happens to be seeing my best friend/roommate. The problem is she always gets mad at me for hanging out with them like I'm betraying her when I hang out with my friend and his girl. How do i deal with this? Marvin, Senior
Brian: Tell your girlfriend that her dislike for her roomie doesn't mean you can't still be friends with yours. If you were having one-on-one time with her roommate, then I could understand
Jessica: Your girlfriend's being catty and you need to tell her that both of your roommates' relationships shouldn't have any bearing on your own. People will date whom they choose to date and the same goes for friendships. It's not up to her to dictate who dates who or who you can and cannot hang out with.
her complaint, but in this situation she is just being ridiculous. See if you can get your girlfriend to consider a double date. While she might not be able to stand this girl as a roommate, she might be able to have fun with her outside the living situation. Whatever you do, don't give up your friendship with your best friend. Remember, bro's before hoes!

Howwe met
Couple: Pete & Diana
Baseball is for lovers. Well, at least it is for Pete Barton, Tyro senior, and Diana Worley, Wichita senior. The two met at spring training in Tempe, Ariz. during spring break of 2004. While lounging on the lawn that overlooked the baseball field, Worley noticed a cute guy with a Jayhawk shirt on. And being the outgoing girl she is, Worley approached him about his KU affiliation and she and Barton ended up talking the rest of the game. By the time they parted ways,
they discovered that they live just one building away from each other in the same apartment complex in Lawrence. Upon their return from spring break, Worley and Barton's friendship quickly developed into a relationship.
The two have been watching ESPN together ever since.

Host a game night
A night of board games shakes things up
TED LEE
By Lindsey Ramsey, Jayplay writer
One boring weekend Jessicah White, Winfield senior, and two friends decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of another night at the bars, the girls wanted to return to a more innocent time. A time when all a girl needed to entertain herself was some friends and a little Girl Talk:Truth or Dare, White and her friends called boys to tell them "You're cutel! They put their bras on the outside of their clothes and put peanut butter on their lips. Perhaps this is just what students need in the face of midterms and impending finals - a little release and change of pace that a well-timed board game night can provide.
"Games capture a basic need in people for friendly competition — a play battle where people practice skills

and strategies, "fight against each other, yet remain friends and allies," says Jill Bellinson, author of Children's Use of Board Games in Psychotherapy. If some of this friendly competition is what your nightlife needs, then Jayplay has you covered. This
1. Choosing the perfect party game
Kyle Billings, owner of Fun and Games, 830 Massachusetts St., recommends games that get everybody to interact during everyone's turn. He says he doesn't like games where people

The game
have to wait around during other people's turns. For the perfect game night Billings recommends games like Cranium, Apples to Apples (a card/trivia game) and Imaginiff (a question/get-to-know-yourfriends game). He says
Risk
1 oz. light rum
1/2 oz triple sec
2 oz cranberry juice
1/3 oz Aftershock
1/3 yuzon Jack
1/3 oz Orange Juice
Apples to Apples is the game he always recommends to customers, and they always come back wanting it for their

matter what games you choose, make sure you pick two or three and vary the type. Also make sure you have the correct number of players for each game.
2. Where to play?
friends. Other good party games include: Catchphrase, Scattergories, Balderdash, Scene It, Taboo, Ouija and Trivial Pursuit. If you have a lot of time on your hands and some patient friends, try classics like Monopoly, Scrabble or Life. For the kid at heart,
remember games like Mall Madness,
Girl Talk, Candy Land, Guess Who?
Chutes and Ladders, Sorry! and Mouse
Trap. Or you can create themed game
nights with murder mystery games like
the classic Clue or Crack the Case. No
Now the easy answer is at home, but many considerations must be taken into account before a locale is decided. Will there be ample playing room? Does the house in question have necessary equipment; TV, DVD player, etc.?
Will roommates be upset by loud noise? The easiest way to solve this dilemma is to talk it over with your friends and decide whose house will serve game night best. Or if you have a group of fearless friends, take your game of choice out to the bars and combine your two favorite pastimes. Games like Catchphrase transfer easily to the bar and could make attracting new friends much easier, especially when they see how much fun you are having.
What's your favorite board game?
3. To drink or not to drink?

I am a lawyer in New York City. I am a law student and a legal professional. I have a Bachelor's degree in Law from University of California, Berkeley and a Master's degree in Law from Columbia University. I have been practicing law since 2007.
"Chutes and Ladders is always fun because you can move up the board in one move, so it's easy to win. But you can lose big too; it's a gamble." Michael Maher, Overland Park senior.
"Yahtzee, because it's intense. You don't know what is going to come up next. It's a game of chance and luck." Adam Knoernschild, Lyndon sophomore.
"Cranium. It's got a lot of different aspects. You work with clay, you sing a song and there's trivia. There is just a lot of different options and you can play with a lot of people." Claire Thorsen, Chicago senior.
YOU ARE HER SISTER
"Twister, because it's interacting with people and it's fun to see what weird positions you can get yourself into." Jennifer Fajardo, Overland Park senior.
If a night without drinking amounts to a night without fun for you, then by all means make your favorite fancy cocktail. Some to consider, inspired by games or game titles, includeThe Game and Risk.The Game is light rum, triple sec and cranberry juice. Risk consists of Aftershock, orange juice, and Yukon Jack.Wine can class-up game night, but beer will work too. But the beauty of game night is the possibility of completely sober fun, and the opportunity to take a night off from drinking to ease last night's hangover — and your wallet.
I will do my best.
4. Snacks for gamers
A game night would not be complete without snacks. To shake up the standard party food of chips and salsa, try chips or pita bread with spinach and artichoke dip. Guacamole is also a game night friend, but don't go overboard on the chips. Grease on game pieces
is never fun. Try baking cookies in the shapes of Monopoly pieces or make a cake that celebrates your night of gaming. Check out www.foodnetwork.com for great party food ideas.
5. Come, friends - play!
The most important step in planning a game night is to make sure you invite plenty of friends who are ready to play. Make sure that the games you choose will accommodate the number of people you plan to invite, or that you can have groups of people playing different games at the same time to create a tournament atmosphere.
Follow these steps and your game night will be a great way to break out of the usual tired Lawrence nightlife. Make game night a weekly or monthly ritual if you want. Be sure to gather all essential ingredients and then, get gaming.
Since we've traded afternoons of Mall Madness for nights of heavy drinking, it's easy to forget how fun board games can be. Now lovers of board games even have conventions. Peter Adkison, CEO of GenCon, the biggest board game convention in the country, says his convention started as a group of gamers wanting to get together and play games. Two hundred people attended the first GenCon in 1967. Now attendance at the convention, which is held annually in Indianapolis, has grown to 82,000. Additional GenCon conventions take place in California and the United Kingdom. But board games didn't always inspire such enthusiasm. Board games gained popularity after Monopoly was released in 1934, during the depths of the Great Depression. Before Monopoly most board games were geared toward children, according to The Games Journal, a former board game magazine. Monopoly's success introduced a new generation to board games. Board games continued to gain popularity, but most discouraged player interaction. In 1962, the game Acquire, similar to Scrabble, was introduced, and it ushered in the new generation of board games that encouraged player interaction.

LAWRENCE'S
Fatso's
1016 Mass. St.
There are several things that may draw you to Fatso's. Be it the smell of greasy Pyramid pizza served past 2 a.m., the unnecessarily long, jammy guitar solos or the ridiculously cheap drink specials, Fatso's is a college student's dream come true. Fatso's certainly is a college bar, but several things distinguish it from the average hole in the wall. Fatso's hosts live music several times a week with styles ranging from jambands to hip-hop. Every Tuesday night Fatso's hosts its BBQ Beat Social featuring free barbeque combined with hip-hop, funk, soul and electronic music from local artists and DJs.
Fatso's is known for its drink specials. Wednesday's special offers $1 Wells for all of you booze hounds out there. And Tuesday appears to be the standout drink special of the week for all of Lawrence's beer connoisseurs—Fatso's offers any of its huge selection of bottles for only $2.
"It's a cool place. It attracts a wide variety of people, which makes for a good atmosphere," says doorman Rick Brown.

ASSHOLE!
People you love to hate
A look at assholes By Chris Moore, Jayplay writer
Andy Spellmeyer, Derby freshman, was relaxing at McCollum Residence Hall when he noticed a woman pass by. As she bent over, he noticed a tattoo with two initials on her lower back. "Nice tramp stamp," he said.
"That's my mom's initials, and she's dead, asshole!" she told him.
The Urban Dictionary defines an asshole as a passive-aggressive jerk. Being labeled an asshole may be offensive, but for some people, the label is a way of life. A siap or a drink thrown in the face is not a pleasurable experience, but for these people, it comes with the territory.
"When we hold men to a status of machismo, we ask them to be immature," Sprague says. "It doesn't promote decent human interaction."
Joey Sprague, director of undergraduate studies in sociology, says some freshmen fall into this category because of the new freedoms available to them. She says students new to college are experiencing more options and fewer barriers, and that these, combined with societal expectations, can lead to bad behavior - especially for men.
A scarlet letter
1.6 | Jayplay 11.03.05
Being labeled an asshole can hinder the dating process for some.
As a freshman woman, Walsh observes that many students are still in an experimental phase wanting to explore the dating scene. Walsh has had guys tell her that she's beautiful and has pretty eyes, but she knows they are just lines.
"College freshmen boys tend to be more on the asshole side of the spectrum," says Casey Walsh, St. Louis freshman. "There's a whole new freedom and a whole new way of looking at relationships."
"After physical contact, the guys become less determined to hang out," she says.
One way to guard against acquiring the asshole label is to talk to friends about how to act in dating situations. Linus Coy, Chicago freshman, talks about his relationships with his friends.
16
He says it seems like gossip but helps him deal with tough issues, such as when women lead him on.
"It's useful to get options," says Coy. "It helps not to be close-minded. If a friend is in the same situation, they can help out."
...And proud of it
Not all are shamed by their asshole status; some actually wear it as a badge of honor. Case in point: Tucker Max, a Duke Law School graduate.The first sentence on Max's Web site says, "I'm Tucker Max, and I am an asshole." Max says he decided to be an asshole because he wanted to act however he wanted without caring what other people thought of him.
"Friends thought it was hilarious," Max says.
Max makes his living off of books he has published about his exploits and off of his Web site, which includes an application for girls who want to hook up with him.
Max says he gets 50 applications a week and that 20 to 30 are actually serious. He says he can't hook up with all the women that apply—especially when some of them are as far away as New Zealand.
Toplikar says he used to be a nice guy, but that got him nowhere with the opposite sex. "Nice guys finish last," he says. "There's a good reason for that saying:They do."
"If the girl is close, I write them back. If they're good-looking, I try to hook up with them," he says.
Max's latest book, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell: The Tucker Max Stories, is scheduled to be released in January. His Web site says the book contains 10 to 12 stories already on his site and 12 to 15 new stories.
The book will include stories such as one about him hooking up with a girl he finds unattractive and then throwing her clothes out the window to force her to leave before his roommates see her. He says to her, "Trust me, you don't want to meet my friends. They are evil. Rappists and murderers, both of them. Very unsavory characters." He tells her that if she wants to meet his roommates, she will have to do it naked.
Ben Topilikar, Olathe freshman and another self-proclaimed asshole, keeps to a routine when trying to talk to women. He always has a plan when things don't work out. "If I throw out a line and they walk away, I say, 'You're too broke to have an attitude,'" he says.
Nice guy gets the girl
Samantha Williams, Edmond, Okla. freshman, disagrees with the "nice guys finish last" school of thought. "The nice guys definitely will get their nice girls someday," Williams says. "But the real asshole guys, I hope they never get anything, I hope they finish last."

Nicolas Cage
The Weather Man
...being an unlucky
The Weather Man is a dreary move. The scenes are gray, the weather is damp, and smiles are few and far between. When the characters talk, they tend to talk just a little. more. slowly. than most folk.
The lynchpin of all this drear is the titular weatherman, David Spritz (Nicolas Cage). David is trying to make things right with his children and ex-wife, impress his Pulitzer prize-winning father and land a high-paying job as weatherman on Hello America. ("A very American accomplishment," his father calls the job, without contempt.) The results of his efforts are often laughably (sometimes even humorously) pathetic.
Mr. Cage can suck the light out of a scene like nobody's business. Here he uses his natural talent for gloom to good effect. Dreary it might be, but Weather Man is not dull. It flirts with dullness,
but ultimately manages to evoke just enough laughter and interest to avoid it.
The most affecting scenes are David's interactions with his children and his father (Michael Caine, doing a mediocre impression of an American, and a good impression of a smart man who doesn't really understand his son's world). Watching David try to get through to his family despite his limited communication skills is painful, but every now and then the audience's patience is rewarded.
The movie is too aware of its own poignancy, but at least it has some poignancy. The Weather Man might have been nothing more than a streak of pretentiously bleak deadpan, if it didn't have a heart.

The Warriors has the recipe for a perfect cult movie: Made in 1979 with a bunch of actors nobody's ever heard of; written with cheesy dialogue; set in a dirty, "sometime in the future" NewYork City and populated with a bunch of fashion-coordinated gangs who beat the crap out of each other for 90 minutes. That's The Warriors, now released on one of those director's cuts every movie seems to have, but this one deserves. In fact, the director's cut adds elements to the movie that make it better.
The plot is simple enough. Nine delegates from The Warriors, one of several hundred gangs in New York, leave their home turf of Coney Island for a meeting where every major gang in the city has been assembled. When The Warriors are framed for the murder of the president of the biggest gang in the city, they have to fight, rumble and bop their way back home during the course of a night.
Every gang and police officer in the city is out to get them, so this is harder than it seems. With gangs ranging from the all-women Lizzies to face-painting baseball-bat carrying Furries, the movie plays like a cheesier, violent version of West Side Story.
The Warriors are more than up for the challenge, armed with one-liners ("I'll shove that bat up your ass and make you a Popsicle" is one of my favorites) and wicked street-fighting moves. For the DVD, director Walter Hill adds an introduction to create parallelism between the movie and a classic Greek epic, and scenes were manipulated to jump along comic book panels. Missing, though, is a much-needed commentary from Hill. But as cult movies go, this one ranks up there with Escape from New York. Can you dig it?

BOOK
Lunar Park
By Bret Easton Ellis: Hardback, Knopf Publishing 1/2
Bret Easton Ellis is an archetypal example of the Wonder Boy Syndrome. His is a career that came too fast too early. In return for creating Patrick Bateman, he has spent much of the time
since American Psycho was released in 1991 being vilified and slandered for producing what Norman Mailer in Vanity Fair called "intolerable material." To be fair, Mailer was praising Ellis for his chutzpah. While Psycho will probably always define Ellis' career, Lunar Park, his first novel since 1998's Glamorama, is worth a read. In my case, it

PARK
ended up being about three reads to figure out what the hell was going on.
Lunar Park shows Ellis in the most peculiar of roles fatherhood.Having actually inserted himself into the novel as the main character, Ellis seems to come full circle. His first two novels Less Than Zero and The Rules Of Attraction detailed the highly sexualized, addiction-driven lives of wealthy college students in such a way that seeing him in an authoritative role in Park seems almost profane.
To be blunt, Park is bizarre. It's real, and yet it's not. Many of its characters are real publishing figures from Ellis'
life, and yet many others are totally fictitious (everyone's favorite American psycho has a cameo). The plotline has our resident author trying to overcome his substance abuse and celebrity in order
to form a closer bond with his wife and children. When young boys around his son's age start disappearing and murders start occurring in the area, the protagonist — Ellis' doppeganger — must save his family and convince his wife and therapist that he's not imagining the whole thing while on some sort of drug binge.
As you can see, it sort of defies explanation and is best read on one's own.
Ellis' gift has always been comedy of the blackest sort — the type of scathing, acidic wit that can make a person laugh at the most outrageous and offensive things. In this day and age, only Chuck Palahniuk and the boys of Fight Club can compare to Ellis' biting indictment of what it means to be young, well off and too complacent for your own good in America. Lunar Park, while lacking the fast living rush of his previous work, is a solid continuation of Ellis' theme of examining nihilism in the young elite.

De Nova
The Redwalls
★★★
Beatles, anyone?
The Redwalls, a quartet hailing from Deerfield, Ill., will bring you straight
back to those good old sounds of the classic rock era with De Nova.
While listening to this album, it's impossible not to think back to those albums your parents grew up on during the '60s. Especially notable is the way brothers Justin and Logan Baren perfectly harmonize their voices.
there are plenty of tracks at your disposal. I recommend "It's Alright" because it embraces the rebellious spirit: "Well
"Front Page"
THE REDWALLS
starts out with the same processed voice effects as The Beatles" "I am the Walrus" and has lyrics reminiscent of the disasters in "A Day in the Life." Other tracks have a laid-back feeling supplemented with a horn line and that '60s organ sounding keyboard that we all recognize. Care for something a little more psychedelic? Listen to "Hung Up On the Way I'm Feeling." If it's something with a little more energy you're looking for,
you don't want to go to school / It's alright / Oh you're so tired of playing the rules / It's alright." There's even an acoustic song. This album has everything.
My favorite song is "Falling Down," the track which earned De Nova's Parental Advisory Warning. Its sharp hooks enhance the biting lyrics that slam the
FCC and its strict obscenity censorship policy. The lyrics contain all the commonly-heard words that make the FCC (and newspapers) squirm.
De Nova really is an album that anyone and everyone can enjoy. I challenge you to resist this new traditional rock.

Wave goodbye to the generation of coal miner's daughters, and say hello to the coal miner's wife. "I can't wait to get him home/ ain't gonna' have

It's clear she wants to cut the subtleties. While the rest of Nashville's women play the traditionalist, coy persona, Evans bravely steps

Evans never had issues walking the line between wholesome mother and sexpot wife. They're complimentary roles that have been as integral to her music as her Midwestern background. Songs like the stomping, Celtic-
light, acoustic "Tell Me" details the importance of open communication between partners. And parent-child relationships are addressed in the nostalgic "You'll Always Be My Baby," while the gently orchestrated "These Four Walls" becomes a testament to the fulfilling power of family.

It's all wrapped up in a pretty glorious package. Gleaming hooks, slick production and Evans' mega-rich alto abound. She's a woman made for Nashville. All hail the soon-to-be queen of contemporary-country music.

After making 2003's Transatlanticism, Death Cab For Cutie had their work cut out for them. With Transatlanticism, they won over new fans and got rave

Beautiful noise
What college did to my ears
My childhood was noisy. Oh sure, age 9 on babysitting four or five children some memories smell like cookies or more if the neighbors came over —
are bathed in the soft glow of Christmas lights. But they are, above all, loud.
Loud noise accompanied everything from grade school mornings to hysteric Christmas Eves: great, thrashing chords from the piano, children wailing about wasp stings or unshared toys and feet always running, running, running above my basement bedroom.
so my mother could dash out for an hour and buy us formula, vegetables and cough medicine.The noises of these mornings were the clatter of spoons in cereal bowls,the sobbing of an awakened baby in a crib,the nasty yelling of a big sister who was spoiled enough to wonder why she couldn't live in a clean, quiet house and have American Eagle clothes like her friends
- always with tiny feet running and running in the background.
I'm the oldest of six kids. Yes, six. And yes, we're Catholic. And yes, my parents are saints. Four girls, two boys, two houses and $200,000 in groceries in 11 years.
I spent every summer morning from
Natalie Johnson Jayplay writer
Our dinners included a ritual puking noise for two years. My reckless toddler brother Sam would shove so much food in his mouth so fast that each night,
Mealtimes were different. No more grace before, no more whining about doing the dishes after. Just teenager chat, replete with the f-word and drinking stories.
somewhere between grace and the first "somebody go get more milk," he would start choking and vomiting. The sound was alarming at first, but eventually became background noise like the piano and the footsteps. We'd all eat calmly, discussing Girl Scouts or spelling tests, as Sam retched. Then Mom would clean off him and his tray, and it was time for dessert.
When I went off to college, I was shocked by the lack of noise, or at least the difference in noise. Weekend mornings in the dorms were eerily quiet. No more footsteps, piano or goofy cartoon sound effects.
It was weird that the fights I heard weren't about who took the last brownie or cleared the table, but rather about who slept with whom or how people changed when they drank too much.
But I loved it! Now I could sleep in on weekends without those pesky kids bothering me. I could have a phone
conversation without locking myself in the laundry room and sitting on a pile of (Clean? Maybe.) laundry. I could cuss and whine and take midafternoon naps.
My first visits home freshman year, I got irritated within 15 minutes. I'd pull in the driveway and immediately be tackled by several kids, thrilled to see me. I'd smile and kiss my mom and do my best to listen to the kids' stories about school, softball, play outouts, Star Wars and someone's scary dream. I would be tugged in different directions to see someone's new bedroom arrangement, drawing or gymnastics stunt. Minutes later, I would hiss that I hated the way they interrupted all the time. Couldn't they learn some manners?
But as years have passed and I've become accustomed to the noises of college life, the sounds of home have become precious. The hushed library and the afternoon naps now seem indulgent and lonely, and "inside voice" undergrad conversations lack innocence. I crave exclamations and innocent questions.
I gleefully anticipate the driveway tackle (only one or two do it now). I love to listen to every detail about the spring musical, the band rehearsal and the unfairness of seventh grade teachers. I love going to football games and gymnastics classes. I love hearing my brother croon Beatles songs awkwardly on the guitar he's learning to play. I love that our uber-sensitive smoke detector blares every time we open the oven. I love hearing my brothers discuss school and football stats late into the night in their room down the hall. I love that my sisters sing along to rap songs, and that I constantly nag at them to listen to something better. I love hearing them randomly belt out a few measures of a Broadway show tune to make up for it.
The sounds of home are comforting and familiar, a nice wholesome respite from the sounds of college.
And they're blessedly loud.

The Rivalry of the Teams
Police to protect fans, not posts
KU fans run onto the field and tore down the field goal posts last saturday afternoon in celebration of defeating Missouri. KU beat MU 13-3.

KANSAN SCHrift WRITER
For years, the KU Public Safety Office has allowed students to rush the field and tear down the goal posts, and this Saturday won't be any different if Kansas beats Nebraska.
Ralph Oliver, chief of the KU Public Safety Office, said he realized the goal posts would be carried to Potter Lake if Kansas wins.
Police officers would not try to prevent a large number of students from rushing the field, he said. Officers would instead try to mitigate injuries to students by responding to people who have fallen or become injured in the celebration. Oliver said.
"The Public Safety Office is not going to hurt people to prevent them from hurting themselves." Oliver said.
The University can affect a student's academic standing as a result of actions on the field.
Danny Kaiser, assistant dean of students, said he could not speculate on the range of punishments given. He also said the Office of Student Success would have to receive a complaint from the Athletics Department that would identify the student involved in the incident. The complaint would also have to provide evidence, he said.
The office would send a notice to the student to appear in front of a panel composed of one student, one staff member and one faculty member, Kaiser said. The panel would decide
whether it would take disciplinary action, he said. The panel meeting pertains to incidents that occur on campus, he said. Kaiser said he could not recollect whether the office had punished any students for incidents involving celebrations on the field of Memorial Stadium.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the Athletics Department could use cameras to help identify students, but he would not comment on whether the department has ever used the cameras for that purpose.
"I would think the only way to do that is to grab somebody off the goal post and find out who they are," Marchiony said.
Marchiony does not blame police for failing to apprehend students.
"Everybody's talking about whose responsibility this is," Marchiony said. "If something
bad happens, it's because students behaved irresponsibly — period."
Lauren Pierson was dragged under a fallen goal post on Saturday before KU Public Safety Officers helped her to her feet. The Prairie Village junior was one of several people carrying the goal post across the field at Memorial Stadium after Kansas beat Missouri last weekend, she said.
"I won't be going to the game because I can't stand," Pierson said. "I would never rush the field again. If I did, I'd stay away from the goal posts."
HOUSING
Oliver would like students to wait until the Athletics Department takes down the goal posts before students storm the field, he said. Then students could carry them to Potter Lake, but no farther, he said.

Seniors find perks of on-campus life

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
During his senior year, Elliott Hoffman won't worry about cooking, paying the rent or finding a parking spot before class.
That's because Hoffman, Stillwell senior, is one of 38 seniors living in the residence halls. He is a live-in resident assistant in McCollum Hall. Although the environment differs from living off campus, seniors who have remained say the benefits are worth staving for.
Hoffman has lived in the residence hall all four years of his college career. He said he stuck around for the perks of free room and board and food.
Diana Robertson, associate director for student housing, said the seniors living in the residence halls mostly served as resident assistants or other student leaders.
She said seniors were welcome to live in the residence halls, but students often decided after their freshmen year to move on.
"As they spend more time in school, they are looking for greater freedoms and an opportunity to live independently off campus," she said.

Cory Xenos, Louisburg senior, has lived in the residence halls all four years and now serves as desk manager for GSP-Corbin Hall.
She said she had thought about living off campus but was never convinced of the benefits.
As an only child, finding people to play with was hard, she said. But living in the residence halls helped her meet lots of people.
"It's really about the people that you meet and possibly help change someone's future." she said.
Hoffman said that following the rules for quiet hours and other restrictions could be inconvenient at times when he wanted to have friends over.

Two of India's most renowned exports, classical Indian dancing and Indian food, will be displayed Saturday night on campus.
Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, which is similar to Hanukkah and Christmas, is coming to the University of Kansas and the KU Cultural India Club invites everyone to join its celebration.
The free event, called Diya, will feature classical Indian dance, a play about Hindu mythology and Bollywood-style entertainment.
Bollywood is a popular Mumbai-based film industry in India. Diya will take place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. this Saturday at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.

Getting tired of the radio and MTV? Want some good local music besides Tech N9ne?
At 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., will be hosting record-release parties for local hip-hop act Archetype and alternative/rock group Blackout Gorgeous.
Producer Jeremy Hummel Nesbitt, 24, a.k.a. Nezbeat, working from Lawrence, handles production for both groups, as well as being one-half of Arctuvex.
The other half of the group is Isaac Diehl. The group has a unique sound, unlike anything heard today in hip-hop or music in general. Its influence is a mix of hip-hop, jazz and soul.
Nezbeat's second project, Blackout Gorgeous, will also be at the Bottleneck. But unlike Archetype, Blackout Gorgeous tends to be more of a rock/alternative group.
Both groups have great music which comes from the heart and definitely deserves a listen. So be at the Bottleneck and support Kansas City's own Archetype and Blackout Gorgeous.
Singer Erin Keller, who has a distinct voice, fronts the band. No mainstream music compares to the group, but if you are a fan of Garbage or Blondie, you might like Blackout Gorgeous.
Both Archetype and Blackout Gorgeous will be performing songs from their new albums. People of all ages are welcome.

Wi-Fi connections make students seen
BY BROOKE DONALD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — In another time and place, college students wondering whether the campus cafe had any free seats, or their favorite corner of the library is occupied, would have to risk hooping it over there.
But for today's student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, that kind of information is all just a click away.
MIT's newly upgraded wireless network doesn't merely get you online in any spot on the 9.4 million square foot campus.
It also provides information on exactly how many people are logged on at any given location at any given time.
MIT researchers did this by developing electronic maps that track the devices people use to connect to the network, whether they're laptops, wireless PDAs or even Wi-Fi equipped cell phones.
While every device connected to the campus network via WiFi is visible on the constantly refreshed electronic maps, the identity of the users is confidential unless the user makes it public.

The HOPE Award, Honor for an Outstanding Progressive Educator, honors faculty for teaching excellence. Students select the finalists.
"Being nominated from the students does give validation that you're connecting with them in the classroom," Akagi said.
Akagi said her favorite part of teaching at the University was imparting new knowledge to as many students as possible. Knowledge would serve them even after graduation, she said.

The winner of the HOPE Award will have his or her name on a plaque in the Kansas Union and will receive a monetary award. The amount varies from year to year depending on the money available in the Endowment fund.
The Board of Class Officers solicited nominations for the award from the seniors via e-mail. The nominees were then narrowed down to the top 20 and sent back to the senior class by e-mail to vote for the top eight. The final step was the interviews of the eight candidates by the Board of Class Officers.

Mark Haug's second year as a finalist. Haug, business lecturer, was also nominated in 2004. He said it was an honor to be nominated by students.
Students sense that he cares about them and they appreciate it, said John Charnes, professor of business. In a several-hundred person class that he teaches, he has each student meet with him when he hands back each test.
Charles Marsh, professor of journalism, has been selected for his second consecutive nomination this year. He also won the Kemper Award this semester. The award is given by colleagues and deans.
Marsh said he was impressed by how seriously the students took the nomination process. He said the questions asked in the interview process were challenging.

Benson
son, lecturer of journalism, was nominated in 2002. She said the most rewarding aspect of teaching at the University was seeing students get excited about something that she was excited about and then applying what they had learned.
Patty Norland, career development coordinator and lecturer in journalism, coteaches a class with Marsh this semester. Norland said Marsh was entertaining, intelligent and witty, which helped him to relate well to students.
Kerry Ben-
"I feed off of their enthusiasm," said Benson.
Benson said it was rewarding to witness the moment that the light came on and everything came together. She said the process was cumulative.
Jonathan Earle, professor of history, said part of being a good teacher was reaching the largest amount of students and that it was important to keep as many students interested as possible.
"You can't just teach to the top two or three students in the class," he said.
Earle has a lot of imagination when it comes to ways of teaching information, said Theodore Wilson, professor of history and a colleague of Earle's. He realizes his duty to students and enjoys working with them, he said. That is why he agreed to serve as the director of advising for the history department.
James Orr, professor of biology, said it was a boost in his morale to be nominated. He also won the Kemper Award along with Marsh.
He said he tried to present classroom lectures that were stimulating and engaging for all students.
Pam McElroy, Orr's secretary, said she had sat in on his lectures before and he seemed to have an excellent grasp on the material, which she said he taught enthusiastically.
"It's almost like if you were a student and a sponge you would just soak it up." Orr said.
Edward McBride, lecturer with the School of Engineering, said he thought that great teaching came from finding ways to make information interesting and understandable to students.
McBride is a second-generation nominee of the award: his father, also named Edward, won the award in the fall of 1974. McBride began teaching at the University in 2004, after years of work in the professional world.
McBride is constantly revising his lesson plans. Good teachers always have to "fight the urge" to use the same lesson plans, he said.
The introductory accounting classes were a problem until Tim Shaftef started teaching them.
Shaftet, the Jordan Haines distinguished professor of business, joined the faculty in 1988. He was nominated three other times for the HOPE Award.
His success with the accounting classes comes from his excellent organization of the class, said Allen Ford, distinguished professor of business. Shaftel is also known to be friendly, outgoing, and has a good sense of humor. He is currently out of town at a conference.

SUPREME COURT
Senate snubs Bush
BY DAVID ESPO
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Senate will begin hearings Jan. 9 on Judge Samuel Alito's appointment to the Supreme Court, leaders of the Judiciary Committee announced Thursday, a bipartisan repudiation of President Bush's call for a final confirmation vote before year's end.
"It simply wasn't possible to accommodate the schedule that the White House wanted," said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the committee chairman. He outlined a timetable that envisions five days of hearings, followed by a vote in committee on Jan. 17 and the full Senate on Jan. 20.
"It's far more important to do it right than fast," said Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the committee. "In this case, I suspect we're doing both."
While Bush had called for a confirmation by the end of the year, administration spokesman Steve Schmidt raised no objection to the schedule. He said the White House had "great confidence in Chairman Specter to manage the extremely complicated process of moving a nominee to the Supreme Court through the U.S. Senate."
Nor was there any evidence the scheduling decision signaled any deeper dissatisfaction among Republicans to the nomination. "I think Judge Alito has made a very good first impression." Specter said.
Bush nominated Alito on Monday to fill the seat of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has often held the swing vote on cases involving issues such as abortion and affirmative action. Already, some Democrats have raised the possibility of a filibuster — an attempt to prevent final action on the nomination — and Leahy stopped short of committing to a vote in the full Senate on Jan. 20.

Chairman asks for investment
FRANK TANKARD

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Pakistani Senate chairman Mohammedmian Soomro took time between stops in Washington D.C. and New York to bring a message of investment in Pakistan to a 90-person crowd at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Thursday.
Soomro was enticed to visit the University of Kansas by a graduate student named Mohammed Azeem, who didn't know Soomro but called him from Kansas City and asked him to visit.
"He said, if you can make it happen, the next time I visit the United States, I'll stop by Kansas," Azeem said.
Soomro's trip to Kansas fell on Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim feast
marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He said in an interview before his speech that he was delighted the holy day coincided with his first visit to the Midwest.
"I'm from a farming background myself. I feel very much at home here," he said.
Soomro's presentation differed from the standard lecture in that he was both informing the audience about Pakistan and trying to entice businessmen to invest in his country.
Provost David Shulenburger, who watched from the front row, said "What he is doing here, the business contacts he's making, are part and parcel of his message. We've got a guy here who is what he appears to be. That's refreshing."
a 15-minute video on the benefits of investing in Pakistan, followed by a short speech in which he highlighted the improving economy of the country. He said Pakistan had experienced an economic growth rate last year second only to China.
Soomro began by showing
ON THE RECORD
He then fielded questions from the crowd. People asked him about topics ranging from nuclear weapons and women's rights to cricket. Many questions centered on problems in the Pakistani government, whose president, Pervez Musharraf, took over the country in a 1999 military coup.
He also spoke about the earthquake that hit Pakistan Oct. 8, killing about 80,000 people and leaving three million homeless. He described the destruction as "unprecedented" and thanked the audience for the support of the United States.
Speaking of past corruption in the government, he said, "We have a free press now. It's the most free it's ever been. It's not going to be easy for any regime not to be transparent."
Kasif Syed, Leawood freshman, said he enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Pakistan, where one of his parents is from.
"The opportunity to see the second-highest leader of the country speak was one not to pass up," he said.
After his trip to the University, Soomro leaves for New York today to meet with the secretary general of the United Nations to speak about the earthquake.

But he said he had the opportunity to live on his own after he graduates.
Michelle Goodrick, Meriden senior, is as a resident assistant at Templin Hall. She said the rules didn't bother her because she didn't think they affected her sense of freedom.
"It depends on what you consider important," she said.
The freshman-dominated environment of the residence halls has shown some noticeable differences, Xenos said. She said she'd noticed a difference in priorities among the freshmen on her floor compared to her own.
She said helping freshmen with their college experience and living in the residence halls had been rewarding, no matter what others thought.
"I'm not interested in going out all the time," she said. "I've noticed that they have a lot to learn."
"It items like a crazy idea, but it's worth it even if it sounds like it may not be," she said.
Hoffman said he's enjoyed helping freshmen entering the college life and has gained a better understanding of people.

Classical Indian dance is distinguished by its unique use of facial expressions and face and hand movements.
It requires dancers to be coordinated and flexible in order to contour their bodies into the correct positions. Datla said learning to classically dance was a lot like learning to play an instrument.
It takes years of practice and professional training.
The remainder of the dances will be performed by amateurs in the modern Indian dance style. Taking inspiration from both eastern and western influences, like disco and break dancing, it is less structured in style.
Datla will be one of the modern dance performers.
Afterward, an Indian buffet at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union will follow the show. Ruchi Indian Cuisine will cater the dinner. Tickets are $8 and can be purchased from Ruchi or Datla.

Wildlife refuge cleared to drill
BY H. JOSEF HEBERT
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate insisted Thursday on opening up the Arctic National Wildlife refuge for drilling after being blocked by environmentalists for decades, then voted overwhelmingly to prohibit exporting any of the oil pumped from the region.
With a 51-48 vote, the Senate approved requiring the Interior Department to begin selling oil leases for the coastal plain of the Alaska refuge within two years.
Repeated attempts to approve such drilling have failed in the Senate because supporters were unable to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. This year, supporters wrote the ban on drilling to a budget measure that is immune from filibuster.
Opening the refuge, which was set aside for protection 44 years ago, has been one of President Bush's top energy priorities.
Bush, in Argentina for a two-day summit, hailed the vote.
"Increasing our domestic energy supply will help lower gasoline prices and utility bills," he said in a statement. "We can and should produce more crude oil here at home in environmentally responsible ways. The most promising site for oil in America is a 2,000-acre site in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and thanks to technology, we can reach this energy with little impact on the land or wildlife."
Bush and other drilling advocates argue that the country needs the estimated 10.5 billion barrels of oil that are believed to lie beneath the refuges coastal tundra in northeastern Alaska and slow the growing dependence on oil imports. The United States now uses about 7.3 billion barrels of oil a year.
"America needs this American oil," said Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska. He called opposition to pumping the refuge's oil "ostrich-like" and said the refuge's reserves are "crucial to the nation's attempt to achieve energy independence."
Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash,
who led the effort to continue the
ban, called drilling in the refuge a gimmick that would have little impact on oil or gasoline prices, or U.S. energy security.
The Senate's decision to keep the provision in its bill "gives us a little more flexibility," said Acting Majority Leader Roy Blunt, R-Mo. A decision on ANWR would then be made when the House and Senate try to mesh their two budgets.
"Using backdoor tactics to destroy America's last great wild frontier will not solve our nation's energy problems and will do nothing to lower skyrocketing gas prices," Cantwell argued.
Meanwhile, the Senate in an 86-13 vote, required that none of the oil from ANWR be exported. Otherwise "there
is no assurance that even one drop of Alaskan oil will get to hurting Americans," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a drilling opponent who nevertheless sponsored the no-export provision. He co-sponsored the amendment with Sen. Jin Talent, R-Mo., who strongly supports drilling there.
Drilling supporters argued that ANWR will give the country more domestic oil production. Today about 60 percent of the oil used in the United States is imported.
But no oil is likely to flow from ANWR for 10 years and peak production of about 1 million barrels a day isn't expected until about 2025, according to the Energy Department. Currently, the United States used about 20 million barrels of oil a day.
Environmentalists cited a report by DOE's Energy Information Administration that concluded that ANWR oil would slightly affect gasoline prices and marginally lower the growth of imports by 2025, when imported oil would account for 64 percent of U.S. demand instead of 68 percent without ANWR's oil.
Environmentalists said drilling platforms and a spider web of roads and pipelines would threaten the ecology of the refuge's coastal plain which is used by caribou, polar bears, musk oxen and millions of migratory birds.
Proposing to drill for oil in ANWR has raised the passions of conservationists of all political stripes, according to William Meadows, president of the Wilderness Society. "It would translate into a real outpouring of anger directed toward members of Congress," he said.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has countered that modern drilling techniques and stringent environmental regulations would safeguard the coastal plain and its wildlife. "We can develop ANWR oil without harm to the environment and to the wildlife that live there," she said, adding that development would create tens of thousands of jobs both in Alaska and elsewhere.
The provision in the budget bill assumed $2.5 billion in federal revenue from oil lease sales over the next five years.

EDITORIAL
Watch for media scares
Every year, the media focuses all its energy on a new health crisis that has the possibility of destroying the nation. In the past, it was SARS and smallpox, but this year, the media has chosen to seize upon avian bird flu as the next big threat to national health.
There has long been talk about the possibility of a viral outbreak in the United States. Nationwide critics have speculated about the government's effectiveness in handling a national disaster. The department of Health and Human Services has scrambled to update a flu pandemic response plan to accommodate these new threats. If an outbreak were to occur, what if the same thing happened and we didn't have a big enough supply of vaccine to stop the spread of avian bird flu?
Avian bird flu is scientifically known as influenza strain H5N1, a naturally occurring strain in the intestines of birds. The most telling fact about this dangerous strain set to wipe out the US is that it is not naturally communicable to humans.
PAGE 5A
It is easy to see why the media is hyping this up as the next big national disaster. But in order for us to believe the unlikely scenario of an avian bird flu pandemic presented to us by the media, we must accept the possibility of a non-human virus mutating, crossing the largest ocean in the world and infecting the nation while our shelves are empty of precious flu vaccine. The facts, however, do not support this highly unlikely scenario.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, "In rare instances,
limited human-to-human spread of H5N1 virus has occurred, and transmission has not been observed to continue beyond one person."
Americans have a greater chance of dying from the common influenza-A strains than from avian bird flu. From December 2003 to December 2004, the World Health Organization reports there were 61 clinically confirmed deaths from avian bird flu, far less than the predicted pandemic levels of a US outbreak.
In comparison, the department of Health and Human Services states influenza-A strains, the type humans are infected with every winter, will kill an average of 36,000 Americans, over 590 times the amount of people who have died from avian bird flu.
Despite the unlikely possibility of a pandemic, the government has bought into the hype and done an effective job of preparing for this supposed pandemic. The Associated Press reports that the Senate recently passed legislation to increase spending on flu vaccine by $3 billion, and the department of Health and Humans services recently spent $100 million to begin large scale production of an avian bird flu vaccine in preparation for a potential outbreak.
The more important story is the economic problems we would face from the deaths of infected birds. A large scale poultry pandemic, a situation much more plausible than a human pandemic and already occurring on a small scale in Asia, would cripple the American poultry industry and have serious repercussions on the economy of the nation, and the world as a whole.
Why then is the human pandemic receiving so much attention despite its far-fetched plausibility?
Journalists are always looking for the next big story and fearful of being out scooped by the competition. Once a single newspaper or network decides the cover a story, the rest of the media must follow suit or risk losing their audience to another publication. In this instance, however, the editorial board feels the desire for a story overtook the basic principles of journalism. Stories based on scare tactics allude to the days of yellow journalism when reporters focused more on newspaper sales than journalistic integrity. Journalism that relies on less on facts and more on emotional appeals is not only unethical but also unfair to the millions of consumers who turn to the media everyday.
In this post-9/11 world, we the public are continuously scared about the possibility of disasters on US soil. We are constantly scanning the horizon to try and get a jump on what the next big crisis will be, thinking we will be better prepared if we see it coming.
The problem is, if you look at something long enough, anything can be construed as a threat to public safety. That is why it is our job as citizens to not buy into the media hype and question the legitimacy of the news presented to us so we can make our own decisions about the real problems threatening our nation today.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
"Wheels" article needs tune-up
ONLINE
I would like to respond to the errors presented in the article regarding KU on Wheels. KU on Wheels is one of the programs of the Transportation Board.
Each year the Board comprising of students, a faculty advisor, and a member of the parking department selects a single student employee to serve as Transportation Coordinator.
The coordinator and the Board decide routes, contract buses and attempt to find ways in which the system can be improved.
Last Tuesday, The University Daily Kansan misquoted KU on Wheels and members of the Lawrence Bus Company in an article entitled, "Bus System Confrontes Problems."
A large part of the misrepresentation of KU on Wheels in recent UDK articles stems from misunderstandings on part of the newspapers' staff.
The article referred to an incident in which there was a misprint of a route, and a student was forced to walk from a bus stop to her apartment at night.
1. Any bus driver, SafeRide driver, or LiftVan driver is not an employee of KU on Wheels rather, they are the employees of the Lawrence Bus Company, a local transportation company with which KU on
- The article in question can be found online at... http://www.kansen.com/ stories/2005/ oct27/buses/
KU on Wheels is funded by a student fee and user fees (bus passes). Student fees go directly to Student Senate and then are distributed to student organizations. The University never receives that money, it is strictly for the use of students.
Wheels is contracted.
Further, all the vehicles used are not the property of KU on Wheels, but again, that of the Lawrence Bus Company. If I were to say, "The Kansan is the journalism school" or "the journalism school is just the Kansan," neither would be accurate.
2. KU on Wheels was not previously made aware of the problem with the night campus route. But the problem is now being currently corrected on the KU on Wheels Web site map to prevent any problems in future routes.
KU on Wheels is aware that the bus map night campus route does not properly show the downtown loop, but all the times on the schedule still are correct.
3. Funding for the KU on Wheels system: KU on Wheels makes a contract with a company for payment on services.
As for the logistics of the bus' conditions or drivers' pay, those decisions are made within the Lawrence Bus Company.
nancial contribution, well, there is none.
As for the University's fi-
KU on Wheels receives just under $857,000 a year from student fees and about $500,000 from bus pass sales, which is then divided into contracting with Lawrence Bus Company for buses, drivers and Safe Ride and Lift Van services and various other expenses for maintaining the student run transportation system.
We just want to inform the students of University of Kansas that the KU bus system, SafeRide and LiftVan are all student run and student funded. These services are here to serve you to best we can.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Kansan apartment fire story opportunistic, condescending
Louis Mora's article featured on the front page of the October 21 Kansan shocked me.
I was appalled first by the headline, "Apartment fire causes students to seek security."
Not only was this the most blatantly obvious and condescending statement the Kansasan has made all year, in my opinion, but it also ridicules the intelligence of the people who awoke in the middle of the night to discover their homes falling around them in flames.
Regrettably, the article continues by suggesting that had the renters spent $20 more each month, they might have never had to deal with the tragic blaze at the Boardwalk Apartments.
And while I am completely positive that Nicole Bingham's family and friends believe her life was priceless, and so much more valuable than $20 a month, how could the Kansan or Louis Mora take the standpoint that the renters were somehow responsible for the acts of one tremendously sick individual?
kler systems, fire extinguisher maintenance, and city firefighting services?
As if that weren't all bad enough, the article then goes on to consult one firm who stands to profit the most from these tragedies.
Are either the newspaper or its writers aware that the law does not allow people to burn houses down, and that the taxes and rent we pay are supposed to go toward sprin-
Just on a whim, I headed over to the Douglas County
"...How could the Kansan or Louis Mora take the standpoint that the renters were somehow responsible for the acts of one tremendously sick individual?"
Insurance and Financial Services Web site.
This site is, according to them, the home of "Distinctive Ideas, Premiere Service." (sic) How much more biased can one source be?
How can the Kansan make this heart-wrenching issue into a marketing opportunity for Douglas County Insurance and Financial Services, a firm that can't spell at a fifth-grade level on professional marketing materials,
and incorrectly assumes that all victims "haven't experienced living on their own and being responsible for their property"?
My first instinct is pure rage. One of my classmates lost everything he owned in the Boardwalk fire, and barely escaped with his life. People I love have been seriously inured in similar fires.
I have lost several hundred dollars of my own property in similar fires.
Even with this experience, I refuse to even attempt to imagine how these victims feel when told that, in hindsight, $20 a month might have saved their lives, their health, and everything they owned.
Responsibility in journalism is a notion clearly lost on Mora. Ethical media behavior is clearly lost on DCI & FS.
Both companies should be positively ashamed at this horrendously opportunistic, heartless abuse of the front page of a once-respectable college newspaper.
Better to have let this matter be unattended in this despicable issue than to have crossed the line into flagrant insensitivity.

One Super Challenge served to tennis team
The Jayhawks face tough competition at the fall season's final meet — but they're ready
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
ejorgensen@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
The Kansas tennis team will use this weekend's tournament, the Western Michigan Super Challenge, as a platform to leap past last year's results.
The tournament, at Kalamazoo, Mich., will mark the end of the fall season for the Jayhawks. As the team heads into the weekend's meet, Kansas could find itself with a brighter future than it had one year ago, when it lost in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament.
This weekend, Kansas will test its improved game against DePaul, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue and Western Michigan, which will give the players one more opportunity to showcase their talents.
"There are lots of strong players at the tournament, and it should be a good chance for us to improve," sophomore Stephanie Smith said.
Six of the tournament players have Intercollegiate Tennis Association singles rankings, and

three doubles teams hold ITA rankings, including two in the top 20.
The talent-laden field does not faze the Jayhawks. Junior Brittany Brown and senior Christine Skoda will play doubles together, like they have all season.
"We can beat them," Brown said. "Skoda has been playing well, and I've been playing better in practice."
The proficient opposition
will test the players more than it will intimidate them. The team wants to end the final meet with peak performance.
"We've worked this whole fall," Brown said. "Since it's the last tournament of the fall, everyone wants to end on a good note. All of us will have a lot of energy."
Kansas has excelled against talented challengers this season. Freshman Ksenia Bukina upset the No. 1-seeded player, Maja Kovacek of New Mexico, in the ITA regional championship two weekends ago.
The Super Challenge provides ample opportunity for the Jayhawks to surprise more audiences.
"The level of competition is good," Smith said. "It will test us. We're excited about ending the fall at this level."
The tournament lasts from Friday, Nov. 4, through Sunday, Nov. 6. Following the tournament's conclusion, the team will not play until Jan. 22 against Ball State at the start of the spring season.

Besides simply wanting to advance further into the post-season, Smith joins four other seniors in their last run at the national title. Although they never let their focus slip from what's best for the team, Francis said

he thought there might be a little more anxiety for his seniors.
Senior forward Jessica Smith put Kansas' fate in perspective, keeping in mind that although the team's numbers were solid, a tournament bid wasn't automatic.
"As of right now, we're not even sure if we're going to go," Jessica Smith said. "At this point, you can't take anything for granted."
If the Jayhawks fail to advance, Kansas has to look at a 2006 squad minus four forwards and one goalkeeper. A majority of the team's offensive production, including all-time leading scorer Caroline Smith, will graduate this May, and the seniors want to see that talent put to use for a final time.
"Losing us five seniors will be tough to replace, but they're only going to be better next year than they were this year," Caroline Smith said.

Several Chiefs questionable for match-up with Raiders
BY DOUG TUCKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Coach Dick Vermeil raised the possibility Thursday that quarterback Trent Green may not start for Kansas City on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Green was in St. Louis on Wednesday for services for his father and was expected to return the next day and dive into game preparation. But Vermei said Green also was absent from a practice on Thursday that was scaled-down, anyway, because of a swath of injuries that's hit both offense and defense.
Green has made a team-record 71 starts and been one of the most efficient passers in the league since coming over from St. Louis in a trade in 2001.
Jim Green died suddenly at the age of 58 on Oct. 27. Three days later, in a display of courage and professionalism that drew praise from both teams, his son had his best game of the year, throwing for 347 yards and two touchdowns against San Diego.
Vermeil declined to address the question when asked if backup Todd Collins might start.
"I'm not going to say" he told reporters at his post-practice news conference.
veteran such as Green would have much to digest in just a couple of days.
But Vermeil admitted he was concerned about Green trying to start against the Raiders after missing so much practice time this week.
"I'll have to talk with him about it," he said. "When he gets in, we'll discuss it."
The Chiefs run a complicated system that utilizes different shifts and motions, and even a
"We aren't doing anything he hasn't done before within the offense. Now, he might not have done it the last two or three weeks or four weeks or whatever." Vermei said.
"We have a huge volume of offense that's been coached all through the (offseason) and the minicamp and training camp that he's been involved in," he said. "I just want to see how he feels and then go from there."
In the meantime, many of Green's key teammates are hobbled and may not be ready for the Raiders.
"They're not all out yet," Vermeil said. "We're preparing to play without certain people and it'll be a plus if they can play."

SWIMMING & DIVING
Iowa, Missouri State to bring co-ed teams
Hawaii High School
BY KELLY REYNOLDS
kreynolds@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Kansan file photo
Freshman Ashley Leidigh competes in the finals of the 200-yard butterfly event to place first against Missouri on Oct. 28 in Lawrence. Kansas will swim against Iowa and Missouri State at 4 p.m. today.
The meet is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
The Kansas swimming and diving team will host a double dual meet this afternoon with the University of Iowa and Missouri State University at Robinson Natatorium.
Both Iowa and Missouri State are co-ed teams and will bring their men's team with them. Although both women and men will swim at the meet, it will be scored separately and will essentially be four meets in one; Kansas vs. Iowa, Kansas vs. Missouri State, Iowa vs. Missouri State, and Iowa men vs. Missouri State men.
Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell said that having the men at the meet would be positive for Kansas.
"It will be a great addition," Campbell said.
Campbell said the co-ed aspect of the meet would slow it down because of the extra heat with the men, which means a little extra rest for the women because they won't be swimming continuously.
"It's a win-win situation," Campbell said.
Both Iowa and Missouri State are better because they are coed, Campbell said.
This season is the first season that Iowa has been co-ed, but Campbell said the transition
would not slow the Hawkeyes down.
"It has definitely benefited Iowa," Campbell said. "They have a great coach in Marc Long; he's the right guy for the iob."
Sophomore Terri Schramka said the co-ed meet would be
a great opportunity to switch things up. Swimming with men is something that most of the Jayhawks are familiar with after swimming on club teams.
"I think it will be interesting to have a guys' meet too," Schramka said. "It's something different, and it's something that
most of us have been a part of."
most of us have been Campbell said that Iowa would be Kansas' biggest competition. The Hawkeyes would be strong in the freestyle events, backstroke events and in diving, Campbell said.
"Both teams present a formidable challenge, but Iowa is one of the better teams in the Big
10," Campbell said. "They're looking to beat Kansas."
Iowa has one of the best divers in the country, Campbell said. Nancilea Underwood has been a stand-out diver at Iowa, and has captured Big 10 Diver of the Week twice this season. Underwood recently broke and reset the University of Iowa three-meter diving record at Iowa's dual meet against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Iowa lost to Minnesota on Sept. 21, 169-131, a comparable score to the Kansas vs. Minnesota meet earlier this season when Kansas lost 168-132.
Schramka said the Jayhawks would enter the meet this afternoon with the same mentality they had when they beat Missouri last Friday.
"We are going to concentrate on ourselves, our races and doing the best we can do," Schramka said.
If the Jayhawks can beat Iowa tonight, there is a better chance they will be a top-25 team. Campbell said, after the Missouri meet last week.

'Hawks look to end string of losses
Still a hope at postseason tournament
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Kansas volleyball team will likely need to win five of its last six matches to be considered for the NCAA Tournament.
Kansas will try to end its current eight-match losing streak Saturday night in Manhattan against Kansas State. First serve for the in-state showdown is set for 7 p.m. at Ahearn Field House.
In addition to the Jayhawks' recent slide, they have lost 21 consecutive matches to the Wildcats. Their last victory before the start of the stretch was in November of 1994, when the Jayhawks beat the Wildcats in five games.
Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he and the team would look at it as another opportunity to get out of their month-long funk.
"It's hard to change the mindset," he said. "You can take charge of certain situations. As coaches and players, we each have to try to make a difference in order to turn it around."
Kansas' woes continued Wednesday in a home loss to Colorado. The Jajahaws lost in four games, but Bechard said he was pleased with some of what he saw.
Serving had been a problem area all season. But against the Buffaloes, the Jayhawks recorded 10 aces against only seven errors. Bechard said he hoped to average at least one ace for every two errors, so the efficiency was more than acceptable.
He also said that these improvements meant nothing if they didn't translate into victories.
"There's a fine line between frustration and disappointment," Bechard said. "They want to see results. The only definitive result right now is winning and losing."
Kansas must also improve on closing out games. Bechard said it was vital that the team become the aggressor in close games if it had hopes of a late-season run.
"There's a fine line between frustration and disappointment," Bechard said. "They want to see results. The only definitive result right now is winning and losing."
In games two and three against Colorado, Kansas was tied at 26 and led 30-29, respectively. The jayhawks lost both games.
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown said the Jayhawks had nobody to blame but themselves.
"The Big 12 is a very tough conference," she said. "You've got to play a clean match every night this year. We haven't been doing that."
Ray Bechard Coach
Kansas State (16-7) will enter the match on a high note. It ended a three-match skid with a victory at Iowa State on Wednesday. The Wildcats have still lost four of their last six, but they sit at 7-6 in the Big 12 Conference, which is good enough to put them in fifth place.
Kansas is 12-11 overall and 4-10 in conference play, placing it in tenth place, ahead of only
1-13 Oklahoma.
Bechard said the Wildcats would be a motivated opponent because they were not sure if they were going to make it into the NCAA Tournament.
"They're really trying to make a push right now," he said. "They're sitting in the middle of the pack."
Bechard said he thought the team had what it took to get things turned around and salvage the rest of the year.
"It's not a situation we thought we'd be in this season," Bechard said. "This question was asked in the locker room: Do we continue to fight and give a great effort every match or do we quit? There's no doubt we'll keep fighting and trying to improve every day."

A track by Federline was posted on the Internet by Disco D, the producer of his upcoming album, "The Truth," to be released next year.
Though the song has since been taken off Disco D's Web site, it has popped up elsewhere, giving a glimpse of Mr. Britney Spears' rhyming, um, abilities.
back then, they called me K-Fed, but you can call me Daddy instead," he intones in the chorus of "Y'all Ain't Ready."
Over an industrial beat reminiscent of Kelis' "Milkshake," Federline represents himself as a brash, newsworthy figure ahead of his time. "People always asking me when's the release date/Well, baby you can wait and see, until then all these Pavarottis followin' me," he raps, nicknaming paparazzi after the Italian opera singer.
Tabloids might remark that their photographers are actually focused on his pop-star wife. Before meeting Spears, Federline's career was mostly limited to backup dancing. The couple wed last year and had a son in September. Already garnering comparisons to Vanilla Ice, Federline's album appears destined for late-night punch lines. But the 27-year-old does anticipate some backlash from his musical pursuits: "My prediction is that y'all gonna hate on the style we create, straight 2008"

Giddens displeased with media portrayal
Lobos coach: Judge him on present acts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico wingman J.R. Giddens took issue with his portrayal by prosecutors and newspaper accounts of a May 19 bar fight in Kansas.
The junior transfer from Kansas spoke after New Mexico's practice Wednesday about his decision to plead no contest this week to misdemeanor battery.
II
"That's not who I am. People will think what they think," Giddens told The Albuerque Tribune in a story published on Thursday. "Hopefully, people will judge me by what I do from now on, and not something that happened in the past."
864.2787

In return for his plea, prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge. Giddens was placed on probation for a year and ordered to take a two-day anger management class.
He will serve his probation in New Mexico. Violation of terms could mean up to six months in prison and fines of up to $1,500.
"Ive accepted my wrongdoing in this," Giddens said. "I'm past it, and I hope everybody else gets past it, too."
Giddens initially pleaded not guilty at his arraignment but chose to end the legal proceedings on Monday. He said his decision was prompted in part by discussions with New Mexico coaches.
"The coaching staff thought it would be a smart thing to get it behind us, admit to what I've done wrong." Giddens said.
On Tuesday, Jeremiah Creswell, 24, of Olathe, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in the case. He claimed he stabbed Giddens and three other men in self-defense.
Creswell was sentenced to a year of probation in exchange for an agreement with prosecutors that no additional charges be filed.
Witnesses have said Creswell stabbed Giddens and four other people after a group of men attacked him outside the bar.
Giddens was hospitalized for treatment of a slashed artery in his leg, which resulted in 30 stitches. Creswell needed 12 staples to close a gash in his head.
Newspaper accounts of the
In return for his plea, prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge. Giddens was placed on probation for a year and ordered to take a two-day anger management class.
bar fight differ on whether Giddens was instigator or victim.
Lobos coach Ritchie McKay said the story of Giddens as a victim had been overlooked.
"I am not exonerating him," McKay said. "He admitted his part in it. Let's judge him by who he is at UNM and what he does in our program and our community. He understands what values our program is interested in."
McKay said Giddens had been a mature addition to his team since transferring from Kansas.
But the coach also said he couldn't spend all day with his players.
"Sometimes young people don't always do what they are asked to do," McKay said, adding that he doesn't "anticipate any trouble whatsoever" with Giddens.

Kansas to win at home
Kellis: Kansas hasn't defeated Nebraska since our dad was a KU freshman, 36 long years ago. Does the streak end Saturday?
Travis: Texas is superior to every
Travis: I expect Kansas will win the game, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't. Nebraska has an improved offense, but it will have just as much trouble moving the ball to Missouri did last week.
PETER HENDERSON
Kellis: Nebraska is only a one-point favorite, Kansas has the superior defense and the Jayhawks are undefeated at home. If ever there were a time to end the streak, this is it.
Travis: I agree. This is Kansas' best opportunity in a long time. Kansas wins it 13-10.
TRAVIS AND KELLIR BROINETT
SPORT@KANSAN.COM
Kellis; That sounds like too much scoring to me. This game will be ugly. 3-0 is a real possibility.
Kellis: The game could be interesting for at least a half. But you're right, Texas came back from a double-digit deficit to Oklahoma State last week like it was nothing.
Travis: Baylor is also trying to end a losing streak this weekend; a much shorter seven-year skid to Texas. Baylor is definitely better than it has been, but it's still nowhere near Texas.
other Big 12 Conference team because if it is losing, junior quarterback Vince Young seems to always lead his team to victory in the fourth quarter.
Kellis: A much closer game will be played in Ames, Iowa. Kansas State and Iowa State have both been erratic this season, and the winner will depend on which version of each team shows up.
will be decided when Missouri and Colorado play in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday. The Buffaloes will win because Missouri is severely confused after Kansas completely shut down its offense.
Travis: Iowa State will win because it is at home. The Cyclones went on the road and beat the Texas A&M Aggies last week. If they can do that, they can beat the Wildcats in a friendly environment.
Kellis: The Wildcats can't beat anybody other than the Jayhawks. Even though Iowa State has struggled with Army and Baylor this year, it is starting to come around. The Cyclones will continue their winning ways against the Wildcats.
Kellis: Yes, against Nebraska we saw the best Missouri had to offer. The Tigers won't show us again. Colorado will win this game easily.
Travis: It looks like the Big 12 North
Travis: So will Texas Tech.
Kellis: Texas Tech is a 16-point favorite and seems to be the automatic pick. But I'm going with the Aggies. They will come out with something to prove after their bad loss last weekend.
Travis; It doesn't matter how angry Texas A&M is — Texas Tech is the better team. The Red Raider offense has too many weapons. It can score at will against everyone they play besides Texas.
Kellis: I'm not convinced Texas Tech is as good as everyone thinks it is. Texas A&M football coach Dennis Franchione will come up with a game plan to steal one in Lubbock, Texas.

The women's basketball season tips off Sunday afternoon with an exhibition game against Pittsburg State. The game begins at 1 p.m. and admission is free for students with a KUID. It will be the first game as a Jayhawk for six of the team's 12 players.
While the new players will be in the spotlight on Sunday, the veteran players will take the court for the opening tipoff.
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said the starting line up would not be announced until the weekend, but it was likely that returning players Erica Hallman, Taylor McIntosh, Crystal Kemp and Kaylee Brown would fill the first four starting spots.
tion between freshman Ivana Catic and junior Shaquina Mosley.
At point guard it will be a rota-
"I think we're ready to play someone else and find out what we've worked on and improved on," Henrickson said.
She said the team had a high energy level in practice this week and was ready to begin the season.
The game comes just three weeks after Late Night in the Phog, the official start of the basketball season. This year NCAA rules allowed the players some practice time in the weeks before the season, which the Jayhawks mainly used for conditioning work.
For the Pittsburg State Gorillas, it will also be the first exhibition game of the season.
The team has already had a rough preseason, losing junior Janelle Klein to a season-ending injury. Klein averaged 15.9 points per game for the team last season.
That leaves juniors Maggie Apt and Nikki Pierce and sophomore Tracy Patry as the team's leaders. All three starting guards from last season are no longer with the team.
Gorillas head coach Steve High, entering his 17th season, said it was tough to have the team fully prepared this early in the season.
"I'm like any other coach that's coached a long time," he said. "You never think your team is ready to play."Pittsburg State's rookies will get the opportunity to play their first game in one of college basketball's most storied venues.
For fans of the game, it will be an opportunity to see the future stars of both schools playing their first game of collegiate basketball.
"We have a lot of Kansas high school kids," High said, "and anybody that understands the history of basketball would be excited about the chance to play in Allen Fieldhouse."

Jayhawks join ranks of Academic All Big 12

The Kansas men's cross country team is making strides on the course and, along with the women's team, is making strides in the classroom as well. The Jayhawks moved up once again in the Men's Mondo Cross Country poll to No.12, claiming the No.1 ranking in the Midwest Region.
"Our ranking is only as good as we run, so we are not going to be overwhelmed because we are ranked a certain position," cross country coach Stanley Redwine said. "We have to go out there and continue to do what we do, and that is to run well."
As long as the team runs well, the rankings will take care of themselves, Redwine said. Kansas is proving itself both in the rankings and academically.
Kansas follows the lead of sophomore Colby Wissel at the Bob Timmons Invitational on Sept. 3 in Lawrence. Fourteen members of the cross country teams received academic honors.
On Oct. 25, 14 members from both the men and women's teams were named to the Academic All Big 12 cross country team. Seven out of the 14 men's team members were named, and seven out of the 15 women's team members were named.
"We're about academics as much as we are about athletics, so that means they are achieving in the classrooms," Redwine said. "Although it was 14 of them, you wish it was all of them."
For a team member to be placed on the Academic All Big 12 team, the athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher for the previous two semesters. The athlete must also participate in 60 percent of the team's schedule.
"It's a big honor to be recognized as part of this University and part of the KU cross country team
and being recognized not only as a student but also as an athlete" senior Joshy Madathil said.
The Big 12 Conference divides its academic teams into both a first and second team. The men's cross country first team consists of 38 students, while the second team has 11. The women have 51队 members on the first team, and 11 on the second team. To be on the first team, a player must have a 3.20 GPA or higher. The second team requires a 3.00 to a 3.19
The Kansas cross country team will not be racing this weekend, but it will be back in action on Nov. 12, in Iowa City, Iowa at the Midwest Regional Championship.

Early exit Jayhawks still look to NCAA Tournament
The Kansas soccer team is still confident about its chances of being selected to the NCAA Tournament despite a round one Big 12 tournament loss.
BY ALISSA BAUER

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
No. 22 Nebraska (13-6-1 overall, 1-0-0 postseason) sent Kansas (11-7-2 overall, 0-1-0 postseason) home from San Antonio early on Wednesday. But the 3-1 defeat only helped produce an even more determined Jayhawk squad.
"Sometimes things happen for a reason," senior forward Caroline Smith said.
The Jayhawks will have more than a couple days after the Wednesday loss. The NCAA Tournament doesn't begin until next Friday. On Monday, the Jayhawks will gather around a TV at 4 p.m. to watch the bid selection, which will determine whether their post-season will continue.
"This will give us some time to recover, and hopefully we'll be in the bid on Monday. Maybe we just need a couple days to regroup before it really counts."
Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said, before the Big 12 tournament, that his team would need to produce victories in San Antonio to help its campaign toward the NCAA Tournament. The one-and-done result could now hinder the Jayhawks' chances.
"I think we'll be in the tournament," Francis said. "We have enough good wins and we don't really have any 'bad' losses. We've played a very tough schedule and have won six of our last eight. All of those things help."
loss, the team still won 75 percent of its games in the last month of the season. The NCAA makes selections based on a team's latest form.
The tough schedule comes mainly from being in a winning conference. At the conclusion of regular season play, five Big 12 teams crammed themselves into first and second place, each with six or more conference victories.
But Kansas has put itself in a spot that will make it difficult not to obtain a bid. Despite the first round

Or maybe the feelings you had when the football team had landmark victories against Missouri in 2003 and Kansas State in 2004.
Forget Mizzou, defeat Nebraska
Think of how many times during your college years that there is a truly special moment in terms of school camaraderie.
If this is your last year at Kansas, then of course you will talk about the scene in Lawrence following the men's basketball team's flirtation with National Championships in 2002 and 2003.
These are the moments that seem to be recalled when you're around friends or just casually discussing Kansas athletics in the Lawrence community
Saturday's football game against Nebraska could again be one of those moments, considering it's been 37 years since the Jayhawks have defeated the Cornhuskers. Kansas' victory in 1968 was so long ago that it should be reiterated. But at the same time, everyone may still not grasp what is at stake. Think about the alumni that have come and gone, some now well into their 50s. There's actually been talk from some that they will lead the charge to the goal posts if Kansas wins. Can you picture that? Now, don't get me wrong. I also was appalled last week seeing the fair-weather football fans tear down the goal posts after a third-straight victory over a mediocre rival, with an equally mediocre coaching staff.
But Saturday's game is for the people who have dreamed for a long time about Kansas' football program having its time in the sun, which is a place always reserved for its storied basketball tradition. This is for the ones who walked away in disgust last week, knowing that Saturday would be the day for such jubilation.
There have been close calls, but a game with the Cornhuskers has always been viewed as a sure loss. This is for Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, who despite his victories against rivals, seems to always fall victim to criticism.
This is especially for the players who have been here since they were the butt of many jokes, particularly during the time that the basketball team was making its title runs. This is for a defense that deserves far more credit than it gets.
With a victory tomorrow, he can light up that victory cigar on his deck. It would be one of the finest, since the one he must have had after he helped lead Oklahoma to its National Championship in 2000.
This is for senior quarterback Jason Swanson, who has persevered through adversity, waiting for an opportunity to be quarterback.
This is for Clark Green who never could have pictured a victory against Nebraska when Terry Allen recruited him in 2001.
This is for all those who tried, only to come so close but fall short. To former running back June Henley, who always wonders what would have happened if Glen Mason called his number in 1993 when the Jayhawks had an opportunity to score a two-point conversion to defeat the Comhuskers.
But most importantly, it's for anyone who has been, is or will be a Jayhawk. For anyone who is a native of this state that seems to always be overlooked in the National spectrum. Win Saturday, and this is for you.

Big game for KU, big streak for Big Red
KU Blitz
ALAGIANCI
Kansas vs. Nebraska Noon, Saturday, at Memorial Stadium
Kansas comes into the game after posting its first victory in four contests. The Jayhawks will need to continue their winning ways this week if they want to make a bowl game. Senior running back Clark Green is coming off his best outing of the year, racking up 125 yards last week against Missouri.
LAST TIME OUT
- Kansas topped Missouri 13-3 last week, extending its winning streak to three games over the Tigers. The Kansas defense was spectacular, holding Missouri senior quarterback Smith in check after he lit up Nebraska two weeks ago for 246 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
PLAYER TO WATCH
The Kansas offensive line. The Jayhawks will be facing one of the most aggressive defensive lines in the country. The offensive line will need to hold Nebraska linemen back to give senior quarterback Jason Swanson time to throw the football. It will also be critical to open up holes for Green and Kansas junior running back Jon Cornish.
5 QUICK FACTS
2
2 Rank of the Kansas rushing defense in the conference and in the country. The unit is allowing just 69.5 yards per contest on the ground.
10 National rank for Kansas in total defense.
12 Rank of Kansas in total offense in the Big 12 Conference, good for last place.
2
2 Touchdowns scored by Kansas last week, the most since its conference opener against Texas Tech.
13 The number of points Kansas has scored in each of its last two games: a 13-3 victory against Missouri and a 44-13 loss at Colorado.
LOOKING FORWARD
- This contest is critical for the Jayhawks if they are going to sneak into a bowl game. Nebraska is the first step in getting two victories to finish 6-5. If Kansas wins tomorrow, it has to win against Texas or Iowa State to clinch a bowl game
KEY TO VICTORY
Sustain the running game. Kansas was able to effectively move the chains last week through its work on the ground. If Kansas is able to rack up another 200-yard rushing game, it could be a long day for Nebraska.
KU KU
Kansas
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense did enough to beat Missouri last week, scoring two touchdowns for the first time since playing Texas Tech on Oct. 1. Kansas will need to be effective again this
week when it faces Nebraska, one of the top defenses in the Big 12 Conference. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson managed last week's game well. The Kansas running game will be key again this week. Expect senior running back Clark Green to see a high number of carries after rushing 22 times for 125 yards last week. If the Jayhawks can get another 200 yards on the ground, it should be another victory for Kansas.
DEFENSE
KU KU KU KU
is there anything else that can be said about this unit? The Jayhawks pulled out all the stops last weekend and limited Missouri senior quarterback Brad Smith to fewer than 200 yards of total offense. The KU defense will be tested more through the air this week when it faces Nebraska's West Coast offense. The secondary was up to the task last weekend against Missouri, but it will be a bigger challenge this week. If the secondary can stop Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor, it might be a long day for the Nebraska receivers.

week it seems he's just one tackler away from breaking a long run for a touchdown. The Jayhawks had a blunder last week with a blocked extra point, but it didn't come back to haunt the Jayhawks in their 13-3 victory. Other than the missed extra point, sophomore kicker Scott Webb has been solid. He has connected on 10 of 12 field goals, and the Jayhawks may need Webb's leg this weekend if they are unable to find the end zone on offense.

coach Bill Callahan is in his second season at Nebraska. During his tenure at the school, Callahan has had accomplishments he would rather forget. This season, after last week's loss to Oklahoma, marked the first time in more than 30 years that Nebraska had lost back-to-back home games. Callahan compiled a record last Nebraska and made bowl did even in the 2002 Oakland Super Bowl a year later 4-12 recor
ing games against Kansas. This season Ross is averaging four yards per carry and has gained a total of 609 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Zac Taylor is also having a solid season for the Cornhuskers. The Nebraska game plan focuses much more on the pass than it once did, and Taylor has accumulated 1,757 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. The only statistic that coaches would like to see decrease is his nine interceptions on the season. Taylor's favorite target is Nate Swift, who, as a freshman, has caught 28 passes for 398 yards.

McKeon has been everywhere on the field this season, amassing 68 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss and six sacks. McKeon has also scored once this season, returning an interception 38 yards for a touchdown against Wake Forest. Also joining McKeon on defense is senior safety Daniel Bullocks. Bullocks, whose brother Josh bolted for the NFL last season, has been a leader in the defensive secondary all season for the Cornhuskers. Bullocks has record one interception and has broken up a team high nine passes. Bullocks also has 55 tackles on the season.

ATA GLANCE
The Cornhuskers' season started promising. They won their first four games including an overtime victory against Iowa State. Since then, Nebraska's only victory was at Baylor two weeks ago. Nebraska has lost to Texas Tech, Missouri and Oklahoma during its 1-3 stretch.
LAST TIME OUT
Quarterback Zac Taylor. If Taylor gets in a groove early and starts hooking up with Swift, it could be a long day for Kansas. He has thrown for more than 1,750 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.
It was a matter of bad timing last weekend against Oklahoma. The Cornhuskers faced the Sooners with the return of their star player, running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson ran for more than 100 yards and scored twice, as Oklahoma beat Nebraska for the first time in Lincoln, Neb., since 1987.
36
PLAYER TO WATCH
18
5 QUICK FACTS
36 The number all Kansas fans hate to hear: The number of consecutive Nebraska victories against Kansas.
18 The number of catches receiver Nate Swift has in the last two games. Before that, Swift had only caught 10 passes in six games.
47-31 Nebraska is outscoring opponents by that margin in the fourth quarter of games this season.
9-0 Nebraska's record when it leads at halftime under coach Bill Callahan.
107 Nebraska's NCAA rank in rush offense.
A victory against Kansas would make Nebraska bowl-eligible for the first time under coach Bill Callahan. If Nebraska loses, it would have to either beat Kansas State at home or win at Colorado to qualify for a bowl game. At 2-3 in conference play, Nebraska would need a minor miracle to win the Big 12 North.
LOOKING FORWARD
KEY TO VICTORY
♦ The same key as last week against Missouri. Run, Run, Run. If Nebraska can get it going on the ground with Ross, it will mean trouble for Kansas. But if the Jayhawks can make the 'Huskers air out the ball and throw all game, the 36 years of frustration could come to an end.

The game will feature two of the better quarterbacks in the conference in Colorado senior Joel Klatt and Missouri senior Brad Smith.

viny: this game is a must-win situation for both teams. After starting 0-3 in conference play, Iowa State has won its last two games and will try and even its record in the conference this weekend. Kansas State is on the verge of not making a bowl game for the second year in a row, as its record stands at 4-4 and 1-4 in the conference. The Wildcats need to win two of their final three games to qualify for a bowl game, and a loss this weekend would set them back drastically. If Iowa State wins, it will become bowl eligible at 6-3.

Adam Allison hit the ground hard. As the yellow goalpost in the south end zone of Memorial Stadium fell to the ground on Saturday afternoon, so did the junior from Wichita.
After rushing the field moments after the Jayhawks 40-15 win over Nebraska, Allison was one of the first people to
trample the south goalpost.
"This is unbelievable," Allison said as he hung from the goalpost. "It can't get any better than this."
that blocked them from the field.
Kansas beat Nebraska on Saturday for the first time since 1968, and Allison was just one of the many Kansas fans who had his eyes set on the goalpost. With fewer than five minutes left in the game, the victory sealed and the Rock Chalk Chant roaring in Memorial Stadium, the Kansas fans huddled against the fence
Josh Bailey, Lawrence senior, and Jesse Plous, New York City senior, had a different plan than Allison.
"We are going straight for the team," Bailey said. "We want to tell those guys how proud we are of them. We will let our other fans get the goalposts."
Allison, Plous and Bailey echoed the thoughts of most Kansas fans on Saturday afternoon. For the second week in a row, herds of students rushed the field after the
Jayhawks' convincing victory, tore down both sets of goalposts and carried them to Potter Lake.
Plous and Bailey did as they said and joined hundreds of other fans at midfield to congratulate the 2005-06 Ljavhawks.
The victory not only silenced jokes that have been cracked on the Jayhawks for more than 20 years, but also kept the team's hopes alive for a post-season bowl berth. A victory against Texas in Austin next weekend or at home against Iowa
State on Nov. 26 would give Kansas its sixth win of the season, enough to qualify for bowl eligibility.
Fans of all ages recognized this conquest on Saturday. Nearly everyone from alumni, to current students, to the youngest Jayhawks participated in the celebration.

David Guth, associate dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications, said he arrived on campus early Sunday morning and reported the writings to the KU Public Safety Office.
An individual or individuals used a water-based paint to write on the windows of Stauffer-Flint Hall and Wescoe Hall to express distaste for The University Daily Kansan's identification of a gay couple.
Workers were busy cleaning the paint from a number of windows on the east side of the building Sunday afternoon. The writings included phrases such as "Quit the homophobia," "Jayplay sucks," "Roommates?" and "Don't try to assimilate us."
Austin Caster, Kansan editor in chief, said he also recently received a purple flier that said "David Ta and Ryan Joy are committed life partners .. So
Caster said the writings on the windows and the flier were related to an article written in the Oct. 27 edition of Jayplay, in which Ta and Joy were referred to as roommates in an article about toilet training a cat.
why, then, would The University Daily Kansan refer to them as merely roommates?"
He said the article was not meant to be offensive, but the reporter should have used the couple's preferred terminology
Ta said he and his partner were surprised that the reporter referred to them as roommates. Ta, Wichita senior, said if the article had included a heterosexual couple, then they would have been identified as such.
"I have noticed that in a lot of articles and TV shows, when a gay couple does something, they don't mention any reference of a relationship." Ta said.
James Foley, Jayplay staff writer, and Anja Winikka, Jayplay editor, said that the identification of 'Ta and Joy as a couple was irrelevant to the content of the article.
"The article had nothing to do with sexuality. It wasn't about them," Winikka, Overland Park senior, said. "It was a funny, quirky article about toilet training cats."

The phrase "Fuck ur bias" was found on a window of Stauffer-Flint Hall on Sunday night. Phrases such as "Quit the homophobia," "Liberal media my ass" and "Jaypley Sucks" were also painted on the windows. The phrases were written in a water-based paint and apparently referenced an Oct 27 Jayplay article.

Nov. 7, 1891 - Comanche's Last Stand
The only living creature found after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, also known as "Custer's Last Stand," died. The horse, Comanche, is preserved in the Natural History Museum.
Little did the Army cavalry suspect when it bought Comanche in 1868 that he would survive one of the most famous battles in the United States. The Library of Congress said nearly a third of the 7th Cavalry under Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer died in the battle on June 25, 1876. Custer and his brother also died there. Although the Native Americans won, the ensuing U.S. backlash forced them to surrender a year later.
The horse survived seven wounds, three of them severe, after the battle. In 1878, Colonel Samuel Sturgis issued a formal order to stop anyone from ever again riding Comanche, now a national symbol.
The Army asked Lewis Lind-say Dyche, a nationally renowned taxidermist, to preserve Comanche's body after the 29-year-old horse died of colic. A loyal 1884 KU graduate, Dyche agreed to do the job for free if Comanche's remains could stay at the University.
Comanche earned his name from his rider, Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry. The KU History Project's Web site reported one soldier said the horse screamed "like a Comanche" after an arrow hit him during a fight with a group of Comanches.
The University's final homecoming queen, Janet Merrick, received her crown 36 years ago today during the football game against Colorado.
Nov. 7, 1969 - Homecoming queens dethroned
The University's homecoming activities and culture differed radically from today's. The motto invoked Mary Poppins: "Kansas Cookout or a Spoonful of Pepper Helps the Buffalo Go Down," the Kansan wrote.
But no one would call the year's homecoming "practically perfect in every way." Not only did the Buffaloae beat the University 17-14, but racial tensions also rocked the homecoming queen ceremony. All finalists were white women.
The Black Student Union held its own elections for homecoming queen, electing Lorene Brown, Value, Miss., freshman. The group requested that its queen receive her crown with "the University queen."
The homecoming committee vetoed the request, although it voted to recognize the black queen at the game.
The homecoming committee abolished the homecoming queen ceremony the next year. An approving Chicago Sun-Times editorial called the contests "as far from the purpose of a university as air conditioning is from the worries of the city fathers of Reykjavik, Iceland."
Nov. 11, 1922 - Memorial Stadium honors World War I dead
The University formally dedicated Memorial Stadium to students, alumni and others who died during World War I.
Robert Taft wrote in "The Years on Mount Oread" that the University launched the Million Dollar Drive in 1920. Faculty and students started the drive to build a memorial for those who died in the war, particularly the 130 students and alumni.
The drive began Nov. 18, and students and faculty had pledged more than $200,000 within three days.
"Rome had her Coliseum." Athletics Director Forrest C. "Phog" Allen said in a 1920 University brochure. "Kansas must have a stadium!"
The proposed stadium would replace the rickety, decaying stands of McCook Field.
Before the University could build the stadium, it first had to demolish the McCook Field stands. It declared May 10, 1921, Stadium Day, a University holiday. Students organized a makeshift army to tackle the destruction, the Kansan reported. This "cyclone of hustling humanity" dissembled every stand in only one hour and 18 minutes.

KU Hillel sets record
Shabbat 350 attracts 450 people at KU
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Hillel is a campus group for
Jewish students that plays host to social and religious events. Shabbat, which lasts from sun-down on Friday to sundown on Saturday, is the weekly holiday that celebrates the Jewish day of rest. Every Friday night, KU Hilfel holds Shabbat prayer services and a dinner afterward to cap off the week. The average attendance ranges from 50 to 60 students.
For the fourth straight year the KU Hillel Foundation exceeded its desired attendance for the group's annual big Shabbat celebration.
Shabbat 350 — the number signifies the anticipated attendance — attracted an estimated 450 people, making it the largest Shabbat gathering in the University's history, said Emily Caulfield, Sugar Land, Texas, junior and KU Hillel president.
For Shabbat 350, a combined service was held at 6 p.m. in Woodruff Auditorium, incorporating elements of each branch of Judaism. A large buffet dinner took place afterward in the Ballroom of the Kansan Union.
Middle Eastern food, a performance by KU Hillel's A Capella group, Shirim Netzim, and a raffle entertained the crowd.
The event has grown from the original Shabbat 150 which took place three years ago. Each year
both the number expected has grown along with the actual attendance, which has always exceeded expectations. That same year, the KU Hillel had fewer than 50 members. The University of Texas and University of Colorado are the only two Big 12 schools with larger Jewish populations than the University. Caulfield said about 1,800 Jewish students attend the University.
"Hillel is building a reputation. We are building a presence in our organization but outside Hillel as well," she said.
Caulfield said she saw the increasing numbers as a challenge.
People outside the Jewish community, including faculty, students and members of the Lawrence community were invited to Shabbat 350. Mehrdad Hosni, Manhattan junior and student senator, said he came to the event wanting to expand his knowledge of different cultures. Hosni attended the service beforehand and the dinner afterward. He said he was impressed by one Jewish tradition where people were asked to shout out names of loved ones to be remembered before certain prayers.
Those who are part of the Jewish community, such as Matt Rissien, Overland Park freshman, said he saw KU Hillel as a nitch. Rissien, who attended a Judaic school from kindergarten through his senior year in high school, said it was a big change to attend a secular school, but KU Hillel made the transition easier.
"Hillet is my Judaism on campus. It's nice to find that it is so active and I, myself, can stay active in the community." Rissien said.

Greyhound trainer loses license, fined
WICHITA - A trainer at a Wichita greyhound kennel has been fined $5,000 and has lost his license to work at Kansas race tracks after an inspection uncovered conditions so bad that several dogs were lying in their own urine.
The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission issued a summary order this week against Aaron Unger.
Conditions described as "unhealthy for dogs and humans"
were discovered in August when a commission veterinarian inspected Brinkley Kennel No. 10 at the Wichita Greyhound Park.
The veterinarian described floors covered with standing urine, turnout pens littered with feces and mouse droppings throughout the kennel, the order said.
The inspector also found at least two malnourished dogs and an injured greyhound.
The animals were moved to another kennel at the park, and the injured dog was treated.

County cracks down on absent jurors
TOPEKA — Shawnea County has begun cracking down on people who don't show up for jury duty.
As many as eight people who failed to report for duty on Oct. 3 will be mailed letters this week ordering them to appear in court.
But this time they won't have to serve as jurors. They will be asked to explain why they shouldn't be found in contempt of court for failing to report for
jury service, Shawnee County District Court administrator Don Troth said.
In the first nine months of 2005, more people failed to report to serve as jurors,3,984 than reported,3,407,a no-show rate of 53.9 percent, according to Shawnee County District Court numbers.
Chief Judge Richard Anderson called that yield of prospective jurors "pathetic."
The Shawne County jury coordinator had mailed summons to 168 county residents, and 101 showed up. That was a no-show rate of 39.9 percent.

Professor finds West Nile vaccine
BY ZAK BEASLEY
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Scientists at the University of Kansas have created a new method for treating cases of West Nile.
Vladimir Yamshchikov, associate professor of microbiology, found that mixing vaccines from similar diseases made an effective vaccine against West Nile.
West Nile is a mosquito-transmitted disease that causes encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. It is characterized by flu-like symptoms, which last just a few days. Symptoms normally show up within two weeks of the bite.
The elderly and those with weak immune systems are more likely to contract the disease. Less than 1 percent of people who contract West Nile develop serious symptoms. Most people don't even know that they are infected.
Yamshchikov and his staff performed the experiment by injecting themselves with vaccines from yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis and then compared their blood against the blood of a student who had recovered from West Nile.
"Our thinking was simple, if we combine two vaccines that are known to be extremely successful, we should be able to strengthen our immune systems," Yamshchikov said.
Yamshchikov performed his experiment in August and his findings were published on Sept. 15 in "Vaccine," a peer-edited journal for medical and biological scientists.
Besides developing strong antibodies to yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis, Yamshchikov also noticed that each blood sample contained certain antibodies that were also found in the West Nile patient. If used appropriately, the treatment could last for four years.
Although Yamshchikov's technique is effective, don't expect hospitals to recommend it any time soon.
"It takes a long time for something
West Nile virus was discovered in 1937 in the West Nile District of Uganda.

Symptoms
- Most people infected with West Nile do not develop symptoms.
+ One-fifth of people who are infected with the virus develop West Nile Fever. Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, body aches, possible skin rash and swollen lymph glands.
Less than 1 percent of people infected develop severe West Nile disease, which includes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord membrane.
$\textcircled{+}$ There is currently no treatment for the virus. People who develop severe West Nile disease need to be hospitalized.
like this to get approved by the CDC. There're lots of hurdles you have to go through before it's approved," said Sharon Watson, communications director for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. The University is one of many U.S. institutions researching new ways to fight the virus, Watson said.
Treatment
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
While students can get yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis vaccines at Watkins Health Memorial center, Yamshchikov wouldn't recommend the shots to healthy students.
"It's just too expensive," Yamshikov said. "To get both yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis shots would cost students about $500."
Yamshchikov said he would only recommend shot to those who had weak immune systems. For the best everyday protection, the KDHE simply recommends bug spray.

Building the ramp is part of Push America, Pi Kappa Phila philanthropy project. The goal for Push America is to increase understanding and awareness of daily challenges for people with disabilities. Stein and his fraternity brothers met Talley through the Independent Living Center, which provides services for disabled people in Lawrence and the surrounding area. The construction took place Friday from about 10 a.m. until about 4 p.m.
Journalism professor wins HOPE award
CAMPUS
Charles Marsh, associate professor in journalism, was awarded the HOPE Award between the first and second quarters of Saturday's football game against Nebraska. He was one of eight finalists for the award.
The HOPE award was established by students in 1959 to recognize outstanding teaching and concern for students.
Since then, each senior class has voted on the recipient of the honor.
Marsh was also the winner of the Kemper Award, a fellowship that awards $5,000 to educators who are recognized by their outstanding teaching.
The recipients are determined by a seven-member committee made up of faculty and staff.
Read Tuesday's The University Daily Kansan for more on Marsh's accomplishment.

to help each other out and provide the information they need."
Toni Johnson, a recently hired professor of social welfare and an African American, said before hearing about an open position at the University from a friend who worked here, she hadn't ever considered coming to Lawrence. She said she had preconceived notions about the conservative nature of the state and that it was a hostile environment for minorities.
"I had some opinions and ideas that were not correct. But my contact with people I knew and the people who recruited me opened my eyes and made me think about KU in a different way." Johnson said.
Johnson said another big concern for her was the number of minority faculty at the University.
"There's not a lot here and I wanted to see if anyone was concerned about that," she said. "But I got open answers from Jean and I came to believe that my department and the University are doing everything to expand diversity."
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, senior vice provost, said difficulties arose when there were only a limited number of

faculty in the last two years.
it's not just finding candidates, however, they also must be convinced to stay. McCluskey-Fawcett said some potential minority faculty took issue with the fact that Lawrence was isolated from a large urban community and that there is not a large professional minority community. She said all the University could do was talk with them honestly.
"We certainly talk to people about these concerns. We try to discuss with people what is here and not what is missing," she said.
Marta Caminero-Santangelo, professor of English, said she worried that highly qualified minority faculty members might be enticed to other schools because of better offers. She said the Kansas Legislature's relative lack of support for higher education meant that salaries for KU faculty tended to be lower than at comparative schools. For the 2005 fiscal year, the University ranked seventh in the Big 12 for its professor salaries and eighth for its associate professor salaries.
While recruiting minority faculty is an important issue, retaining them can be just as important in order to keep the numbers up. The University has not had a net gain of minority
Johnson said she had seen a lot of effort to recruit from universities nationally, but retention efforts had been dismal.
"You bring in diversity but you also have to make space to make them feel comfortable," she said. "KU is doing everything possible but some departments might not be."
Hobart Jackson, professor of architecture, has been at the University since 1971. Jackson is a founding member of the Black Faculty and Staff Council. The council provides support for current African-American members and encourages faculty candidates with initiatives such as the Langston Hughes Professorship.
Jackson has unofficially monitored the number of African and African-American faculty at the University the past decade, which he said has hovered at about 35. He said he became particularly concerned between spring and summer of 2003. The number of African and African-American faculty dropped by 20 percent from 50 to 28. He said the reasons varied from career advancement to retirements to negative tenure reviews. Of seven faculty members who departed, he said he thought four left because of issues related to tenure.
"One issue all KU faculty may be subject to is a lack of support in their departments. Where ethnic minority faculty may run into trouble is when their area of re

search is focused on minority issues. Such issues may or may not be valued by majority, or white, mainstream faculty," Jackson said.
McCluskey-Fawcett disputed the idea that minority faculty would leave because of tenure issues, citing statistics showing a relative balance between tenure rates for minorities and non-minorities. In Fall 2004, about 52 percent of minorities had tenure and nearly 66 percent of non-minorities had tenure.
Jackson cautioned that there
was much left to be done to increase the levels of diversity at the University.
"Simply stated, there continues to be problems with both recruitment and retention of faculty of color at KU. Progress has been made since when I came here but much more progress remains to be accomplished," Jackson said.
Other schools in Kansas have levels of diversity similar to that at the University.
According to each school's Web site, 13.2 percent of fac-

Wichita State said 74 percent of its faculty members identified themselves as white in the Fall of 2004. Fort Hays State said 4 percent of its faculty and staff were minorities in 2000.

SOUKING-UP
Rights come from God
In his Oct. 27 guest commentary entitled "Abortion unlienable right," David Armstrong argues in favor of the abortion rights saying that he is "propcchoice because [he] believe[s] in privacy, women's rights, healthy families, population control and freedom."
Most of his arguments sound more like Sanger-esque eugenics than anything having to do at all with rights.
But, that's another discussion entirely. So, to put first things first, one must first recognize from where man's rights come before he can start claiming that this or that is one of man's unalienable rights.
Whereas the secularist believes that man is created in the image and likeness of pond scum (truly an awe-inspiring image), people of faith believe that man is created in the image and likeness of God.
According to this secular reasoning, man should have no rights in and of himself. If man is, as the secularist would have people believe, only a collection of random materials brought together through random forces, what dignity does that instill in him?
What importance has he over a rock or tree? Rocks do not

have an unalienable right to liberty. Trees are not entitled to a pursuit for happiness. It would be awfully arrogant of man to think that he deserves better than these things which exist for the same reasons he does.
Similarly, one's rights do not come from the government. Even liberal secularists should agree with this precept. When asked where their rights come from, most people will answer that it is the Constitution that provides them their rights.
But, the Constitution does not provide rights; it guarantees them. If it was the government's prerogative to give its citizens their rights, should it not also be within its authority to take them away?
With every right they perceive being taken away through the Patriot Act and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, those, such as Armstrong, who say that we must keep God out of the public sector continue to reap what they sew. Without
any absolute moral standard, how can one claim any recognition of an absolute, unalienable right?
It is from his likeness to God that man draws his dignity.
Belief in the rights of men must stem from the recognition that man was created for a purpose. Human dignity and human rights come from the simple fact that men are here for a reason. If my life has no meaning, then I have no need for a right to life.
Without a right to life, what need have I for any other rights?
A belief in the worth of any person is contingent on a belief in a purpose for that person; it is contingent upon recognition of his likeness to God.
If man is the greatest thing to ever exist, then it is a pretty poor situation he is in. It is one thing to debate whether or not God might be pro-choice or pro-gay marriage or anything else.
But, when faith is pushed out of the picture, the debate becomes a moot point since man's rights are meaningless, because, apart from his relation to God, man has no rights.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Two theories of evolution exist, and they are quite different. The first is a well-documented fact: microevolution - genetic variation within a species; for example, Charles Darwin's finches and the size variation of their beaks.
If the scientific community backs creative evolution originally proposed by Charles Darwin, then the burden lies on the scientific community to practice good science by testing hypotheses, finding and reporting facts in an unbiased fashion and not assuming anything until facts can defend the original hypothesis. The facts are in and they point to an intelligent designer, not a porous story of natural origins.
Design debate: Darwin dar-loses
The second type, macroevolution, or creation evolution, attempts to answer the question "How did we get here?"

Creation evolution fails to find factual evidence to defend its hypothesis, while the intelligent design hypothesis offers a plausible explanation to life's beginnings. But, advocates of intelligent design should not criticize science itself. Instead they should criticize the scientific claims that lack supporting evidence, like creation evolution.
Creation evolution is a story of chemicals spontaneously coming together long ago in a "primordial soup," naturally becoming a living cell, unintentionally evolving into more complex organisms and eventually into human beings. Alternatively, the intelligent design hypothesis offers the answer that we were created by an intelligent creator.
Victor Poggio
"Primordial soup" is the term given to the mixture of chemicals that sorted themselves together into more complex organic molecules according to the theory of creation evolution.
The soup theory relies on the assumption that organic molecules later combined into cells. To have faith that the "soup" is a legitimate source of life raises problems and objections.
the sun and other stars would have been intense enough to break the chemical bonds in the organic molecules. Therefore, whether oxygen was present, the primordial soup hypothesis is cooked.

Oxygen's presence would have destroyed the early organic molecules needed for life to form because it is so reactive. However, if no oxygen was present on the early Earth, there would have been no ozone layer and ultraviolet radiation from
Darwin was the first person to propose the idea of creation evolution. He hypothesized that organisms become more complex over time and naturally evolve into new species.
Darwin also admitted that the one thing that would debunk his hypothesis is a lack of a transitional species, such as a reptile that had evolved into a bird, in fossils that have been recorded.
What do we find in the fossil record? We find countless species who have not evolved in a transitional manner and a miniscule amount of transitional

Abortion beliefs outdated, laughable
I've read the Kansan everyday for two years and have never come across an article as laughable as David Armstrong's article claiming abortion as an "unalienable-right." His attempt to justify the annual murder of 46 million human beings is backwards and anti-progressive. The idea that the world has approached a population limit is outdated and academically dishonest. Hitler used this idea to advocate war and David provides no facts to support the claim.
The United Nations reports that quality of life is higher in more densely populated countries and food supplies have doubled in the last 40 years. Such "over-population" nonsense only opens the door for policy discussion on euthanasia, forced sterilization and genocide.
per year. Reliable statistics put the number closer to 120. Besides, legal murder of millions is not justified by isolated incidents of "murder gone wrong." David's article, like the abortion-rights movement, is full of holes and devoid of logic. We can only hope, as this movement continues to crumble, that mankind will forgo such narrow-mindedness, embracing a more enlightened view.
Secondly, it's time to put the "coat-hanger abortions" myth to rest. Bernard Nathanson, an early abortion-rights advocate, admitted to completely falsifying such numbers as 10,000 deaths

Dems close senate, with repercussion
Last Monday, Democrats unexpectedly called for a closed session of the Senate. The reason?
To force our own beloved Senator Roberts to keep his promise to investigate the Bush administration's misuse of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. While the bold move was welcome news to Democrats sick of
seeing their party behave like eight-year-old bedwetters, it has enormous implications for all Americans. If, as the Republicans claim, there was no manipulation of intelligence, then they have nothing to fear from such an investigation.
But if our worst fears are true, and our (sort-of) elected leaders deliberately to all to
of us to justify a war, then we have a right to know, and the Congress has a duty to find out.
We must demand that our Republican senators do their job and investigate the President, even if they are playing on the same team.

"People were talking all week how we hadn't beat them in so long and to be able to see it is amazing," she said. "I have never been a part of the losing streak, but I am glad that we started a new winning streak."
Coach Mark Mangino whole-heartedly recognized the end of the losing streak.
"I am just glad that the streak has ended because it was really getting on my nerves," Mangino said with a grin.

"You see the smiles on the fans' faces who have been around through the wins and losses of KU and Nebraska and it was great to see them smiling," said Carlton Keith, senior defensive end.
After entering the locker room immediate after the game, Kansas players re-emerged a few minutes later at the south end zone to receive a final applause from the Jayhawk faithful.
After tearing down the goalpost and falling to the ground, Allison reappeared in the crowd of fans snuggled together to get through the fence. After those few minutes, Allison's celebration was far from being over.
"We are going to the lake," Allison said. "It is just so awesome to be a part of this."
That's what made Saturday's victory so special.
It was the classiest gesture visiting fans have ever displayed in Lawrence, and it summed up the entire afternoon.
Here were the die-hard Nebraska fans, the ones who cherished every second of that 36-year streak against Kansas, saluting the team they didn't drive to see.
It didn't matter where you went to school; the only thing anyone could focus on after Kansas defeated Nebraska was how the streak had finally ended.
For Nebraska, it didn't matter that the Cornhuskers remained one victory short of bowl eligibility, and that the decision to replace former Nebraska football coach Frank Solich with Bill Callahan is looking worse every day.
For Kansas, no one cared that basketball season was less than a week away.
Edited by Nate Karlin
There would be plenty of time to discuss those topics later.
On Saturday, it was all about Kansas' achievement. Media around the country even joined in on the fun.
Every network showing football flashed the score once the game concluded, and ABC, CBS and ESPN each discussed the Kansas football team and the stiles it has made.
On ESPN's "College Gameday Final," Rece Davis, the show's host, even sang the "Rock Chalk Chant" during a highlight package.
On air, he said he wanted to do something special for all the Jayhawk fans watching. Later, he told me Kansas was starting to get national respect, so much so that people around the ESPN studios were starting to take notice.
"We've talked a bit on the set about how tough the KU defense has been," Davis said in an e-mail. "I think most of us believe they can win their last home game and become bowl eligible."

"Everywhere I went, no matter what, letters from nice people who have been associated with the University for a long, long time, writing me letters about what it means to them. They will do anything to get a win over Nebraska. Today we don't have to deal with that anymore."

"The jubilation in the locker room was unprecedented," junior running back Jon Cornish said. "We have never celebrated so hard, and be so happy for one victory."
But as much as the victory meant to KU fans, Mangino said beating Nebraska meant more to the players.
Senior wide receiver Mark Simmons emphasized that he was 0-7 against Nebraska and was happy to beat the Cornhuskers before he left the program.
"For the seniors to go out and beat a top
program like Nebraska, it is a great feeling," Simmons said.

"I am pretty light-headed to be honest with you. It is just a rush. These are just things that you grow up dreaming about," senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. "To end a streak like this, and to beat a team like Nebraska at home and watch your fans celebrate and have the fun they were having after the game. I just can't explain how I feel. It is just so much fun to be a part of."
The players also enjoyed watching the fans rush the field to celebrate.
The Kansas defense showed why it was the country's No. 2 ranked rushing defense, at the time, because it held Nebraska to just 138 yards of total offense. Kansas also forced a safety in the third quarter and got a defensive touchdown when senior linebacker Kevin Kane returned an interception 40 vards for a touchdown.
The dominating performance by all units on the team was evident. The Jayhawks got touchdowns from each unit during the game.
The victory was especially memorable for Kane whose father played for Nebraska during the 70s.
"I grew up a Nebraska fan," Kane said.
"To know that for 36 years this town has
The special teams unit blocked a punt for a touchdown and the offense was led by two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver. The KU offense held the ball for 10 more minutes than Nebraska and accumulated 428 yards of total offense. They were the most yards Kansas has had since totalling 435 yards against Appalachian State earlier in the season.
But the defense, this time, has to share the game's spotlight.
suffered a Nebraska triumph every year, it is good for me to know that it finally ended and I am happy to have my name on the roster."
Mangino was happy about the controlled efforts of the team's three units.
"Someone can't say, 'Well you won ugly or you eaked one out and finally got this streak ended.' No, we played well," Mangino said. "We came to play to well and played extremely well. We deserved to win the ballgame. There is no question."
Cornish rushed for 101 yards in just 10 carries and senior running back Clark Green rushed for 100 yards on 22 carries. Simmons had 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
Kansas hasn't had two 100-yard rushers and a 100-yard receiver in the same game since 1980.
The Jayhawks started the game strong by scoring a touchdown on their first offensive possession. Senior quarterback Jason Swanson threw to Simmons across the middle and Simmons took the ball 40 yards to the end zone. It was the first time all season that Kansas had scored on its first offensive drive.
Kansas scored a special teams touchdown later in the first quarter when senior linebacker Darren Rus returned a blocked punt by senior cornerback Ronnie Amadi, 20 yards for the touchdown to extend the Kansas lead to 14-2. The Jayhawks would later add a field goal in the quarter to up the score to 17-2.
On its next offensive drive, Swanson was sacked in the end zone for a Nebraska safety, making the score 7-2.

Apparently, losing by 62 points at home is a good thing.
How else can you explain Baylor rising to ninth in this week's poll? Baylor was ranked 10th last week, after losing to Texas Tech, but gained ground after being thrashed 62-0 by No. 1 Texas.
It was the first time all year the Bears hadn't played their opponent tough, but the Longhorns are blowing everyone out lately.

One voter went as far as rank-
Kansas and Iowa State both moved in the right direction following victories.
The Cyclones lost too many games early on to be a factor in the Big 12 North race, but no one is going to want to play them down the stretch. Iowa State has scored more than 40 points in its last two games.
The Jayhawks also scored 40 points this weekend and are on a two-game winning streak of their own. Winning in Austin, Texas, this Saturday will be a tall order, but even a close loss will likely move Kansas up in the rankings.

Duo meshes in win

KANSAN SENIOR SWITSPORTER
It didn't take long for Mark Simmons to make an impact in Saturday's 40-15 victory against Nebraska.
Simmons, a senior wide receiver, struck on just the fifth offensive play of the game for Kansas. He streaked down the sidelines, broke toward the middle of the field and caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jason Swanson for an early 7-0 lead.
Because Swanson had started only one game before Saturday, he and Simmons haven't had much experience playing together during games. But it wasn't apparent Saturday, as the two connected six times for 100 yards and two touchdowns.
But that wasn't all for Simmons and Swanson. The duo struck again on Kansas' first drive in the fourth quarter.
"Mark is known for making big plays," Swanson said. "That's just Mark being Mark."
swanson led Kansas' offense to the Nebraska 1-yard line on
third and goal. Swanson then disregarded the coaches' original play and threw a job pass to Simmons in the back of the end zone, right in front of thousands of Nebraska fans.
With his 100 yards in the game, Simmons moved past Richard Estell, 1982-85 receiver, into second place on the KU all-time receiving yards list with 2,031 in his career. Simmons is now 235 yards away from the all-time mark of 2,266 set by Willie Vaughn, 1985-88 receiver.
That touchdown extended the lavhawk's lead to 33-15.
Simmons also caught a pass for the 33rd consecutive game and caught his 14th and 15th career touchdowns Saturday.
Two weeks ago in Kansas' 44-13 loss at Colorado, Simmons set the school record for career receptions. Simmons said after Saturday's game, the victory against Nebraska was much better than any records he held.
After the game, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he was pleased with the Swanson and Simmons duo and was impressed with Swanson's ability to change plays at the line of scrimmage. Mangino said Swanson did make a couple of mistakes, but that they were correctable.
"Records are meant to be broken, so I know it just a matter of time before someone breaks my record," Simmons said. "But no one can take this away from me. This is truly a moment that
no one can take away, and it feels great."
They had their great moments, but Swanson and Simmons both weren't perfect on Saturday. Swanson threw an interception in the second quarter, but, fortunately for Kansas, Nebraska didn't score on its ensuing offensive drive. Simmons also had a blemish on the day when he fumbled a 16-yard pass from Swanson. Nebraska picked up the fumble and scored on its fourth offensive play.
Swanson has been spending extra time with Simmons and all the receivers on the practice field the past couple of weeks working on routes and timing, which he said made a big impact on Saturday's victory.

Extra Points:
The 51,750 who attended the game on Saturday were the most ever to see a game at Memorial Stadium.
The 40 points scored by Kansas were the most the team has ever scored against Nebraska.
Simmons moved into second place all-time on the Kansas receiving yards list. He currently has 2,031 receiving yards.
The victory moved Kansas to 5-0 at home this season.
The team came out of the locker room after the game to take a picture in front of the scoreboard to relish in the victory.
Key Plays:
Facing a third and 10 on the Nebraska 40-yard line, Swanson hit Simmons on a slant route. Simmons took the pass to the end zone to put Kansas up 7-0. It was the first time Kansas had scored on its opening drive this season.
Nebraska responded with a 57-yard kickoff return but the Kansas defense once again held and forced Nebraska to punt. That punt pinned the Jayhawks at their own 3-yard line, which led to Swanson being sacked in the end zone for a safety, cutting the lead to 7-2.
Ronnie Amadi blocked a punt that was recovered by Darren Russ, who returned it 20 yards for the touchdown, giving Kansas a 14-2 lead. Kansas nearly gave the touchdown back when Nebraska returned it 100 yards for a touchdown, but an illegal block in the back by Nebraska negated the return.
Nebraska drove 64 yards on just six plays to score a touchdown on a 1-yard touchdown run from running back Cory Ross. That touchdown cut the score to 17-15, but Nebraska's two-point conversion attempt was intercepted. That was the closest Nebraska would come, with Kansas then rattling off 23 unanswered points to put the game out of reach.
Key Stats:
1 - Kansas wide receiver with 100 yards receiving.
428 -Yards of total offense for Kansas, its second highest output of the season.
2 - Kansas running backs with 100 yards rushing or more.
3 - Tackles for loss by senior defensive end Charlton Keith, including a sack.

"A lot of older couples were coming up to me and giving me hugs telling me thank you like I was doing them a favor. They do us favors by coming to the game. It is just a great feeling and a great honor to help people with this history and everything they have been through for 36 years." Swanson on what it was like on the field after the game.
"Swanny did a good job today. He had some remarkable checks. He had a couple of boos, boos that I had to talk to him about, too. He will make a mistake and it doesn't bother him." Mangino on Swanson's performance

Players nearly trampled

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In the excitement that followed Saturday's game, four football players were knocked over and nearly trampled.
Thousands of fans rushed the field following Kansas' 40-15 victory against Nebraska, which caused problems for players and fans.
Two players who were nearly trampled were junior wide receiver Charles Gordon and senior linebacker Nick Reid, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Sunday.
Mangino added that Gordon told him he would be fine.
None of the players were seriously hurt Mangino said. He did say that Gordon was injured, but not significantly.
Mangino did not blame the fans for the players being
"We don't think it will be anything major that will keep him from any work," Mangino said. "It could've been a serious problem with Charles. We're just kind of lucky it wasn't."
knocked over.
Mangino encountered a young boy on the field, about 7 or 8 years old. The boy's father was trying to shake Mangino's hand, when the coach stuck over the boy.
"It wasn't intentional. It was just everybody having fun. We just got to be careful." Mangino said.
Several young children were spotted on the field while fans took the goalposts out of Memorial Stadium.
"This is supposed to be a great day and I hope nobody gets hurt out here." Mangino said.

Aniston reportedly broke down during an interview for the September issue of Vanity Fair.
"I was upset about the Vanity Fair article. I had one moment when I got emotional because I hadn't sat down with an interviewer since this whole debacle took place," Aniston told Newsweek magazine, "It happened for a second and then it was over."

HOROSCOPES The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Monday, Nov. 7, 2005: You might often find yourself in the midst of a row or two. Many people express their opinions, and you might need to listen, but don't feel that you necessarily have to follow through on them. You have a strong sense of which direction to go. Listen to your inner voice. Your emotional responses generally will be right-on. If you are single, you might find relating a bit tough, as others could be challenging and unstable. This behavior could change if you're moonstruck by someone. Your positive attitude might flow into your bond. If you are attached, your partner might be a lot more assertive than in the past. Let this person have his or her day and point of view. AQUARIUS tends to make situations confusing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
*** Your fire could break through at any moment. Just pick and choose your words with care. Confusion surrounds meetings and talks. Work with a partner. Listen to this person carefully; he or she has logic behind his or her words. Tonight: Remember your goals.
★★★ Frustration mounts at work. You're hot under the collar. You might not be able to identify what is really getting to you. Take some time to think through your feelings and how you have been hurt. Tonight: Check in with an older friend or relative.
***** Take the high road and try not to get caught up in strong feelings. You will need to deal with them, but take your time. A knee-jerk response won't be on target. The facts might be distorted right now. Tonight: On a fact-finding mission. Talk about feelings with someone who understands you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
★★★ You mean well, but whatever you do seems to backfire. Use care with investments, insurance policies and other important dealings. Someone might randomly let loose and get angry at you. Distance yourself.
Tonight: Get into a hobby in which you can forget your problems.
of a gigantic backflare. Tempers seem to flare up. You could be frustrated, as logic doesn't work. Emotions run high. Step back. Tonight. Think positively.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**** You might want to think about what goes on today rather than participate. Confusion and high emotions mix together. Ask questions and attempt to clear the haze. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Yap up a storm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★ Although you have the best intentions, you might be in the middle
★★★ Be smart -- pull out of hot issues before you become too involved. Avoid risks -- financial and emotional. Someone might be on the warpath. Realize that someone is not telling you the whole story. Tonight: Ever playful.
just how irritated you can get seemingly out of the blue. What is going on might be the result of sitting on your feelings. The time has come to talk. Tonight: Start sharing.
★★★ You cannot win for losing. No matter which way you turn, you encounter an issue. Be smart — rise above the problems and go in your own direction. Understand that others, including you, could be under pressure. Tonight: Head home. Screen calls.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★ You might have expenses that you hadn't anticipated. How you deal with them could be very different than usual. Be open to a new approach. Others might trigger strong reactions. Claim your power. Tonight: Do necessary financial research.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★ You might surprise yourself with
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
**** You might be oblivious to what is happening around you, but others are grumbling. A domestic matter emerges, which you might have to handle. Stay calm even if others cannot. Tonight: What makes you happy.
★★ Sometimes you need to duck.
Right now, many different conflicts
and needs could come into play. Do as
much behind closed doors as possible.
Stay cool and do what you need to do.
Don't trigger. Tonight: Early to bed, or
at least let others think that you are
unavailable.

Wes Santee, former Kansas track and field athlete, will be inducted in the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in New York City on Dec. 1.
TTS
H？
HENS SAY
Santee is one of seven inductees in the Hall of Fame class of 2005 to be recognized at the Jesse Owens Awards and Hall of Fame Ceremony.
He was a three-time U.S. outdoor champion and also competed in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics in the 5,000 meter event.
Santee set a world record in the 1,500-meter run on June 4, 1956 with a time of 3:42.8. He set the indoor mile world record in 1954 with a time of 4:04.9 and
broke the same record a year later with a time of 4:03.8.
At Kansas, Santee won the 5,000-meter title in 1952, the NCAA cross country title in 1953, and the NCAA outdoor mile title in 1954. The Track and Field News ranked Santee as high as No. 2 in the 800-meter run in 1953. He was ranked as high as second in the 1,500-meter run in the same year.
"All of us at USA Track and Field look forward to these alltime greats taking their rightful places in the National Track and Field Hall of Fame," USA Track and Field CEO Craig Masback said. "All seven made indelible and unique contributions to the heritage of our sport, and they couldn't be more deserving of this honor."
The names of the other six
hall of fame inductees were announced Nov. 3 in New York, at the site of the hall of fame. The other six members will be University of Pittsburgh's Roger Kingdom, UCLA's Mike Powell, Arkansas track and field coach John McDonnell, Olympian Earlene Brown, Yale's Jim Fuchs and Rice's Fred Wolcott.
"I take great pride in welcoming the Class of 2005 into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame," USA Track and Field president Bill Roe said.
"These remarkable individu als have made tremendous contributions to the legacy of US/ Track and Field, and I congratulate them for all their accom plishments."

Not just another empty seat Trent Green saves deceased father's seat during game
Four days after laying his father and No.1 fan to rest, Green played through a pain that does not get noted on the injury report.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There was an empty seat Sunday near the 30-yard line amid the sellout in Arrowhead Stadium. Security men promised Trent Green it would stay empty, too.
Ever since their son had joined the Chiefs in 2001, Jim and Judy Green had come to the stadium hours before kickoff and tailgated with other fans.
"From an emotional standpoint, this was probably as draining as any game I've been a part of," said Kansas City's exhausted quarterback.
They had never missed a game.
But Jim Green died unexpectedly on Oct. 27 the age of 58. He was buried on Wednesday and on Sunday, several hours before the Chiefs hosted the Oakland Raiders, Trent was the one who came early
"Hopefully the message got across. Somebody could always just rip the tape and sit down. But security saw me doing it and they said, 'We'll keep an eye on it.'
"I put a little sign, or a little tribute on the seat and kind of taped the seat so nobody would sit on it," he said.
"It really meant a lot."
Judy and her other two children had already decided they simply could not bear to be at the stadium. They watched at home as Trent redirected his
"It wasn't something they all felt comfortable with," Green said. "And I completely understood. I supported it 100 percent. My brother and sister and their spouse and my mom — it just became too emotional. He's never missed a game in Arrowhead."
"They've gotten to know a lot of people who sit around them and that would have been very difficult for them and they just weren't ready for it. They felt bad because they weren't there to support me."

"It was very emotional." he said.
Green told security people he didn't mind if anyone moved down to take the seats his mom and siblings had always occupied. But his dad's seat was different.

ROWING
Kansas plays catch-un
Rowers show improvement, make TV debut
BY KRISTEN JARBOE

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
In two days, the women's rowing team raced more than 12 miles at the 25th annual Head of the Hooch regatta in Chattanooga. Tenn. Events started Saturday morning and continued Sunday morning on the Tennessee River.
On Saturday, Kansas entered two boats in the women's championship eight race. One took seventh with a time of 16:44.8, four seconds behind Central Florida. The other KU boat took 15th place with a time of 17:18.0, two seconds behind the Texas women's crew.
The team took second and fifth places in the women's championship double and fourth in the women's championship four with a time of 19:25.2. Miami beat Kansas for third place by only two seconds.
Each race had about 25 boat entries.
Coach Rob Catloth was pleased that the team kept up with top-ranked teams, such as Duke, who took first in the women's championship double. 10 seconds ahead of Kansas' second place.
The team had some of its best races paired Paige Phillips said.
"Racing in the four was probably my best race at KU, it was amazing," she said. "We really powered together and flew right
past teams. I'm really proud of our racing."
She also competed in the eight, which she said was a strong race for the team. Compared to last weekend's race in Iowa City, the team felt stronger and in better shape, she said.
Twelve women competed in the women's championship singles. The women encountered rough water, which made it slightly tougher to row their best. Jennifer Ebel finished the best, coming in fifth.
Kansas entered two boats in the women's open eight race. Catloth said the women were tired, but they still managed to walk away with second and fourth places in the event.
"It was a pretty demanding weekend for the team," Catloth said. "They did really well and raced hard. I think they're all ready to get home and get rested up for next weekend."
Not only did the team have a good weekend because of strong racing, but they were able to see their good racing on television. The Weather Channel traveled to Chattanooga on Friday and filmed one day of the regatta from 7 to 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. They interviewed athletes and showed the races.
The Head of the Hooch committee was happy to "show a world class rowing regatta," said to headofthehooch.org.
"We were just on TV!" Alia Bober said, after seeing the channel. "It was really cool seeing us on there."
The team's next event is the Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan next Saturday.

Newcomers step up
As she put on a Kansas uniform for the first time, Shaquina Mosley couldn't help but be nervous.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
rschneider@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
▼ WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The thought of her first Division I basketball game and her first game in Allen Fieldhouse stirred butterflies in her stomach.
The nervousness didn't last long, though. Mosley, junior guard, finished the game with 13 points, four assists and a steal in 24 minutes.
"I didn't think about it as Kansas basketball," Mosley said. "I just thought of it as basketball and pick-up ball. I knew I just needed to play my game."
Despite coming into the program as a point guard, Mosley said she's beginning to adjust to playing the shooting guard position as well. Mosley played the shooting guard when she was in the game at the same time as starting freshman point guard Ivana Catic.
Catic accumulated six points, six assists and five steals in 25 minutes on the floor. Both Catic and Mosley pushed the ball in
Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said she let her two new point guards, Mosley and Catic, call more offensive plays than she ever had.
transition, helping Kansas outscore Pittsburg State 8-2 in fast bpak points.
"They've earned that opportunity in practice and right now have to be pretty good decision makers," Henrickson said.
Catic and Mosley combined for only one turnover at the point guard position.
Despite being labeled as out of shape by Henrickson earlier in the season, freshman Sophronia Sallard contributed 13 points, four rebounds and a block in 12 minutes, coming off the bench. She scored 11 of her points in the second half, when she played for nine minutes.
"When she can breathe, she can be a pretty good player." Hendrickson said.
Senior guard Erica Hallman said she was encouraged with the play of the newcomers in their first collegiate game.
"They came out with a lot of energy," Hallman said. "They're going to come out and contribute right away."

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12A
Women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said the team installed a press defense last week to try to force turnovers. The team's depth allowed it to substitute fresh players off the bench and keep a high level of intensity.
While it was effective in creating 28 turnovers, at times players were caught out of position, allowing Pittsburg State easy baskets.
The game was played in streaks, with the Jayhawks building a 14-1 lead before Pittsburg State coach
"Defensively, certainly, we've got a lot of room for improvement," Henrickson said.
Steve High called timeout.
"I think their extended pressure really gave us some problems," High said.
He said his team was able to gather itself and start denying easy shots later in the first half, sparking a comeback that brought the Gorillas within five points of the lead.
Coming out of the locker room after halftime, the Jayhawks turned up the defensive pressure, stopping the Gorilla offense once again. On the other side of the ball, the Jayhawks began to find better shots, and rebuilt a large lead.
"These kids have been unselfish since we got here," Henrickson said. "We had great respect for their willingness to give up the ball and
get someone else the high-percentage shot."
With just more than 10 minutes to play in the game, sophomore forward Taylor Mcintosh drew her fourth foul, then 10 seconds later laufer out of the game.
Henrickson attributed the increase in fouls to an NCAA rule prohibiting a defender from placing her arm on the player she is guarding.
Kansas had six players collect at least three fouls, and had 28 as a team. Pittsburg State was able to convert on only 54 percent of its free throws, however.
"We can like or not like the rule change," she said, "but we have to adjust."
Freshman guard Ivana Catic said the high score would be normal.
"That's the style that we want to play, because not a lot of teams like that," she said.
Women's basketball notes:
♦ Kemp's 24 points fell just shy of her career high of 27, recorded against Missouri, last year.
♦ Hallman left the game in the second half after taking a hard fall on her knee. After the game she said the injury was not severe.
- The attendance for the game was 2,017 people, including a sizable contingent of Pittsburg State fans who traveled to the game.

Double success

KANSAN SPORTSWRIVER
The Kansas swimming and diving team has a lot to celebrate. The Jayhawks defeated both the Iowa Hawkeyes and Missouri State Bears in the double dual meet Friday evening at a packed and spirited Robinson Natatorium. Kansas defeated Iowa 175.5-120.5 and Missouri State 112-28.
Although the double defeat added to the already strong momentum of the team, a surprise came Friday even before the meet began.
The team entered the Colorado Swimming Coaches Association of America Division I Top 25 Poll for the first time since 1997, at No. 24.
"We were not expecting the rankings to come out today," coach Clark Campbell said. "We now have a big target on us."
A total of 10 polls will be released throughout the season, with a new poll every two to three weeks.
Campbell was impressed with the team's performance Friday evening.
"We are a young team, and I had no idea they were going to mature so quickly." Campbell said.
Campbell said he was worried about the talented Iowa team going into the meet, but he was proud of the Jayhawks' ability to bounce back after the meet against Missouri last weekend that pushed them into the top 25.
Top performances Friday included senior co-captain Gina Gnatzig's victories in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events.
Freshman Ashley Leighid captured victories in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events as well as the 100-yard freestyle event. She was also a member of the winning 400-yard freestyle relay team, along with Gnatzig, senior Lindsey Urbatchka and sophomore Terri Schramka.
Freshman Molly Brammer captured first place in the 1650-yard freestyle. Freshman Shanna Bradbury and Danielle Herrmann both recorded victories, Bradbury in the 400-yard individual medley and Herrmann in the 100- and 200-year breaststroke events. Herrmann, Urbatchka, Schramka and junior Jenny Short combined efforts to win the 200-vard medley relay.
Campbell was also impressed with freshman Rhynn Malloy's finishes in both breaststroke events. Malloy placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1.07:70. She placed second behind Herrmann in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:25:29.
"I've been training really well this week to get back into the groove of things," Mallov said.
When Malloy was recruited, Kansas was not a ranked team.
"I am so excited. It's amazing to be ranked after the fourth week," Malloy said.
Kansas will have a week-long break before heading to Minnesota to compete in the Minnesota Invite on Nov. 18-20. Malloy said the Jayhawks will continue training, but may have a couple days of rest. The Minnesota Invite will be a midseason test for the Jayhawks, Malloy said.

WOMEN'S GOLF Fall season ends with tournament lapse
The Kansas women's golf team placed 16th out of 17 teams at the Derby Invitational in Auburn, Ala., this weekend.
Leading the way for the Jayhawks was senior Chelsey Pryor, who tied for 18th place with a three-round score of 225 for nine over par. After Pryor was sophomore Annie Giangrosso, tied for 61st, followed by juniors Meredith Winkelmann and Amanda Costner and sophomore Sarah Kierl.
Costner had finished in the top seven in Kansas' previous four tournaments, but shot a 244 to finish 76th this weekend.
Starting with Friday's first round, the Jayhawks failed to build momentum.
Kansas shot a team score of 317, which put it already 26 strokes behind the first day's leader and 15 strokes away from being in the top 10.
Scores didn't improve much on Saturday and Sunday as the team posted scores of 319 and 311 respectively to give them a three-round total team score of 947.
Host school Auburn took first-place honors, edging out Duke by one stroke, 879 to 880. Rounding out the tournament's top five were Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee.The other Big 12 schools, Oklahoma State and Texas finished seventh and 13th
Auburn's Maria Martinez, who shot a seven under, three round total of 209, won the individual first-place. Tennessee's Nicole Smith and Alabama's Jenny Suh tied for second, while Duke's Anna Grzybien and Amanda Blumenhurst tied for fourth.
This weekend's tournament was Kansas' worst performance in an otherwise promising fall season.The Jayhawks, now finished for the fall, won't play another tournament until February.

The University of Kansas' tennis team compiled mixed results during this weekend's Western Michigan University Super Challenge. A successful first day highlighted a 4-0 doubles record and a 3-5 singles tally for Kansas.The Jayhawks faced the meet's talented players on the second day.
Brown defeated Beeke Pahl of Western Michigan 6-2, 7-5, Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said the experience gained from playing talented players would pay off for the team in the long run.
NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dick Vermeil was going to be the biggest fool or the shrewdest gambler in the NFL.
With 5 seconds left, Kansas City trailed by three and had the ball on the Oakland 1. and Vermeil faced one of the toughest decisions of his long coaching career.
Last-second gamble pays off for Chiefs
Vermeil went for the TD. Behind center Casey Wiegmann and 10-time Pro Bowl right guard Will Shields, Larry Johnson dived over the pile into the end zone for a 27-23 victory that left the emotional head coach in tears.
Have place-kicker Lawrence Tynes kick a virtually automatic field goal and force overtime? Or roll the dice and go for the win?

40 points most ever against Nebraska
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
rcolaiani@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
It's finally over.
After 36 straight years of pain and frustration losing to Nebraska, Kansas put together a complete performance on Saturday that led to a 40-15 victory.
The 40 points were the most Kansas has ever scored against Nebraska in the 112 meetings between the two teams.
The streak ended after Kansas dominated all aspects of the game, including on offense, defense and special teams. Coaches and players spent the week leading up to the game answering questions about how they had not beat Nebraska since 1968.
"I am going to be honest with you, we needed to do something about this streak thing, it was starting to get on my nerves," said Kansas football coach Mark Mangino.

Husker fans show class, even in defeat
Amid the celebration that unfolded after Kansas defeated Nebraska 40-15 on Saturday, one group of fans stood out.
It wasn't the guy walking around in Nebraska overalls holding a sign that read, "I am stupid."
Nor was it the large number of middle-aged Jayhawk fans running around like they were still in college.
Not even the extreme optimists screaming "bring on Texas" were enough to take your eyes away from the Nebraska fans who chose to stay in Memorial Stadium until the bitter end.
As the Jayhawks walked off the field, past a large section of Cornhusker fans, they weren't greeted with boos. Instead, the sea of red rose to its feet and gave Kansas a standing ovation.

The Kansas volleyball team made sure that Saturday's streak-busting for Kansas athletics didn't end with the football team's victory against Nebraska.
Kansas shocked No. 24 Kansas State 3-1 Saturday night in Manhattan, ending its eight-match losing streak. This was the first victory against the Wildcats in 22 tries, dating back to a Nov. 16, 1994, victory in Lawrence.
The match was riddled with errors on both sides of the net. The two teams combined for 67 attack
errors and 24 service errors in the four games. Kansas minimized errors at key times and came away with a crucial victory that kept its dim postseason hopes alive.
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown led the Jayhawks with a career-high 19 kills. Freshman
middle blocker Savannah Noyes set a career mark as well with 11 kills.

Kansas regained momentum in game three with a dominating 30-21 victory. The team got out
to a quick lead at 12-6 and never looked back. A 9-1 run turned a 21-20 advantage into a blowout victory. K-State hit .000 while Kansas finished at .233.
The layhawks wrapped up the match in game four. They continued to dominate at the net and didn't allow the Wildcats to get
back into the match. They held the lead throughout the game and won 30-25.
Kansas ended up with 86 digs as a team, a season high. Junior libero Jamie Mathewson had 20 digs, senior outside hitter Paula Caten had 19 and Brown had 12.
"We had a defensive game plan that I thought was extremely efficient, and we carried it out," Bechard said. "And offensively, we made plays when we needed to."

The 90-65 exhibition victory against Pittsburg State started a new era of fast-paced basketball at Kansas.
For the first time since 2003, the Kansas women's basketball team scored 90 points in a game.
Senior forward Crystal Kemp led with 24 points. She followed a rough first half with 14 of the first 16 points the Jayhawks scored in the second half.
"Everybody got on a little roll," Kemp said, noting that senior guards Kaylee Brown and Erica Hallman had similar scoring stretches.
The seniors had help off the bench. The 10 Jayhawks who played all finished with double-digit minutes.

Charles "Chuck" Marsh received the HOPE Award on Saturday. He also won a Kemper Teaching Award in August.
Professor honored with second teaching award of the fall semester
BY GABY SOUZA
gsouza@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Charles "Chuck" Marsh is called an absent-minded journalism professor and is a self-proclaimed "muddled" thinker. But when he enters the classroom, it's a different story.
It was Marsh's presence in the classroom, not his absent-mindedness, that made him the 48th recipient of the HOPE Award on Saturday at the Kansas-Nebraska football game. The award recognizes excellence in teaching, and the winner is chosen by members of the University of Kansas' senior class. The winner's name is engraved on a plaque on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. The winner also receives an undisclosed monetary award.
Marsh said the classroom setting helped him pull everything together. The students keep him grounded by asking questions and bringing up examples that help him teach them what they need to know.
"When I walk into the classroom, the clouds lift and everything becomes clear," he said.
When he received the award, Marsh said he felt fabulous and undeserving at the same time.
"I feel like I should have handed it to the person to the left of me, who was Kerry Benson," he said.
Benson, a journalism lecturer who co-teaches a class with Marsh, was among the other seven nominees for the award. Marsh also won a Kemper Teaching Award this semester. The last time a person won both awards during the same year was 1996.
"When I walk into the classroom, the clouds lift and everything becomes clear."

Charles "Chuck" Marsh Associate professor of journalism
Marsh is known throughout the School of Journalism for his passion for teaching and his love for his students, said Ann Brill, dean of the school.
Marsh is constantly worried about his students and makes sure his classes are organized, Brill said. Although Brill recognized Marsh's absent-mindedness, she said that he valued his colleagues and was not a "prima donna" in any sense of the word.
"He can't possibly be getting eight hours of sleep a night," she said.
His energy is what makes him stand out, said Michelle Orrick, Mission senior and former student of Marsh's. Orrick said Marsh was very approachable and able to teach the class material in a way that stood out to students.
Marsh said he continually worked on balancing the three parts of his job, which he listed as teaching, research and service. He said that balance was the toughest part of his job, but that he loved every minute of it.
Brill said, "It's perfect when what you do and what you care about are the same thing."

Police dogs gain popularity
Use of canines in public service grows after 9/11
BY JOHN JORDAN

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Dressed in a blue KU sweatshirt at an abandoned munitions plant outside of DeSoto, a man trains man's best friend to protect and serve.
Tom Brenneman, owner and chief trainer at the Vom Kaiserhofe dog-training center, trains dogs to work with law enforcement, protect people
and find bombs, drugs, termites and even mold.
Since Sept. 11, dogs have become a larger part of protecting against terrorism, and five search dogs from Missouri helped search for missing people at the Boardwalk Apartment fire last month.
Vom Kaiserhofe, which means "from the empire," is at the forefront of training these dogs. This week, government dogs were trained to protect dignitaries and secure airports and bus stations from bombs in Washington D.C. Sheriffs from Johnson County and Wyoming also were training dogs for both K-9 units and narcotics and bomb detection.
A trained dog goes for $8,000, including training, equipment and lodging during training.
Brenneman, an internationally certified dog trainer, has appeared on FOX News as a commentator and testified as a witness for the state in the trial of an 11-year-old boy who was killed by four Rottweilers in Junction City in 1997.
GREEK LIFE
Since Sept. 11, Brenneman has seen demand for bomb-sniffing dogs rise from training three dogs a year to 20. He said there was demand for him to train more, but he would rather focus on training dogs well.

Asian groups working to create multicultural council
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The organizations of Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity and Alpha Phi Gamma sorority are registered as student organizations and not greek organizations by the University.
Steven Lam, Lawrence senior
Members of an Asian fraternity and an Asian sorority are looking at forming a new multicultural Greek council as a way to become recognized as Greek organizations and be more active on campus.
He said the fraternity has pursued entry into a Greek council in the past but could not find the right time because of members' busy schedules and activities, but his organization is finally moving toward joining a council this year to gain recognition as a fraternity.
and Lambda Phi Epsilon president, said the groups would like to work with other greek organizations on campus to form a Multicultural Greek Council.
"We want to get the University's support." Lam said.
Lam said his fraternity, which has existed for two years and has 20 active members, had looked at the Interfraternity Council but decided the council did not meet the fraternity's needs, and the National Pan-Hellenic Council would not extend voting rights to the groups if they joined.
Both organizations have looked into the possibility of
joining the other councils but think a new council would provide the best solution.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, said she had asked the groups to talk with other greek organizations to discuss how
they would fit in on campus.
Lam said he would conduct preliminary discussions with other multicultural organizations on the feasibility of a new council in the next two to three weeks.
Linda Mai, Garden City senior and president of Alpha Phi Gamma sorority, said the council would provide an opportunity to work with other multicultural groups that wanted to be more involved on campus.
She said the council would benefit the sorority, which has been in existence since 2003, by allowing it to share ideas with
other multicultural chapters.
"It would help organize the individual groups out there," she said. "They are kind of each others' backbone because they know they could help each other."
Eboney Crawford, National Pan-Hellenic Council president, said creating a Multicultural Greek Council would be difficult right now.
She said the University didn't have the numbers to support another greek council and the NPHC still wouldn't have the numbers.
"I don't think it's realistic right now," she said. "I don't
think they have the money or the funding."
He said he would be in favor of the idea because a new council would provide a more comfortable setting for the multicultural Greek organizations.
Scott Shorten, IFC president, said another council would result in more work for the existing councils, but it would be a benefit to those looking to join the council.
"I think the council provides the best for the fraternities and sororites," he said.

A fixture at the Union for 25 years

Her name is Robin Kidney - "K-I-D-N-E-Y, like the bean," she says - and she's worked as a dishwasher in the Kansas Union for 25 years.
It's Friday afternoon, and she's reaching into the soapy green water that fills the big stainless steel sink to the brim. She pulls out a bowl and scrubs away the crumbs with a blue pad.
crumbs where bad plants are If you look around the University of Kansas, you'll find a lot of people who've been around as long as Kidney.
In the administration, Provost David Shulenburger has been here for 31 years. In the history department, professor Norman Saul started 35 years ago. In facilities operations, Paul Verhage has been a storekeeper for 31 years.
Yes, a lot of people have stuck around this place for 25 years. Just not dishwashers. Kidney's the only one. In the dishroom, the part-timers have come and gone "as often as you change your socks," she said, and the full-timers have stayed a little longer. All the while, since June 30, 1980, she's been in the Kansas Union, washing.
"Mostly what I do is just wash, wash, wash," said Kidney, 46, short and slight with glasses and short brown-gray hair.
Robin Kidney has been working at the Kansas Union for 25 years as a dishwasher. She's been through three chancellors, three Kansas Memorial Unions directors and too many supervisors to count off the top of her head.
"Only once in a blue moon do I do anything else."
In her first year, she worked part-time loading the dishwashing machine with plates, trays and silverware. Since then, she's worked full-time, hand-washing pots and pans, pans and pots.
Kidney is something of a fixture among the people who work in the dishroom behind The Market food court in the Kansas Union: In at 7:30 a.m., out at 4:30 p.m., every day.
"She's like clockwork," said Joe Wilson, 22, who's worked in the dishroom for a year.
This day isn't particularly fast, so she walks over to the giant conveyer-belt dishwashing machine - it's the length of two cars and roars like a freight train - grabs a few trays from the conveyer belt and stacks them.
She helps out with the dishes sometimes, but usually the pots and pans keep her busy enough.
She walks back to her sink – "My office," she calls it – and drains the lukewarm soapy water. She refills the sink with hot water and soap, and gets back to washing.
Kidney thought about quitting a couple of times in the mid-'80s. She didn't like her boss at the time, but she outlasted her. She likes the way things are now, likes the people she works with, the atmosphere.
On June 30, her co-workers threw her a little 25th anniversary party in the kitchen. They even made a cake.
"Anymore, I'm getting a lot of respect, more than I ever have in the bunch of years I've been here," she said.
Plus, Lawrence is her kind of town. She moved to Lawrence with her fam
ily as a teenager. After graduating from high school in 1978, she got a job on a dairy farm shoveling manure and hay for a while, then worked a stint at Kinko's before coming to the University.
When her family moved away, she decided to stay.
She now lives by herself in a house in East Lawrence, spending most of her nights playing in no-limit Texas hold 'em tournaments in local bars.
She takes a break from the pots and pans and walks through the kitchen saying "hi," to everyone she passes, then steps outside and spots Bob Hoyle, director of food services.
"He's doing a story on me," she said, with a smile.
"You're just part of the woodwork around here," he said.
"I kind of am."
And she walks back to the dishroom and reaches into the green water, washing, as she has for 25 years.

Wal-Mart execs knew about illegal workers
LABOR
BY MARCUS KABEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The affidavit, unsealed last week, was part of an investigation of Wal-Mart by federal immigration officials that led to the 2003 raid on 60 Wal-Mart stores in 21 states, and the arrests of 245 illegal workers. The retailer agreed to pay $11 million in March to settle the case. It has maintained that top executives neither knew of nor encouraged the practice, but that is contradicted by the newly released documents.
The affidavit was filed by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to secure search warrants for a 2003 raid on Wal-Mart Stores Inc. headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A pair of senior Wal-Mart executives knew cleaning contractors were hiring illegal immigrants, many of whom were housed in crowded conditions and sometimes slept in the backs of stores, according to a federal agency's affidavit.
The document was unsealed Nov. 2 by a U.S. district judge in Fayetteville, Ark. at the request of a New York attorney representing more than 200 former employees in a civil lawsuit against the world's largest retailer.

In the affidavit, investigators said testimony and taped conversations from 2003 showed two executives at Wal-Mart headquarters knew that contractors and subcontractors cleaning its stores in several states employed illegal immigrants from eastern Europe and elsewhere.
Federal raids later found immigrants crowded into small apartments or trailers in sleeping bags and, in some cases, sleeping in the backs of Wal-Mart stores, carrying their personal belongings from job site to job site.

New standards 'a wink and a nudge'
BY JOHN HANNA
Board members plan to vote this afternoon on proposed standards that treat evolution as a
OVERLAND PARK - Ken Bingman has been teaching biology for more than 40 years and isn't about to change what he tells his students about evolution, no matter what the State Board of Education says.
The Blue Valley West High School teacher isn't alone, but he and other educators worry that the board's adoption of new science standards will make other teachers yield.
flawed theory. Those standards will be used to develop statewide achievement tests for students, replacing ones treating evolution as well-established science.
"We have a group of very fundamentalist, religious people who see a conflict between evolution and their beliefs," Bingman said. "While some of it's about science, it's primarily about religion."
Supporters have argued that the proposed standards would give students a more balanced view of the theory. Six of the state board's 10 members already endorsed language
drafted by intelligent design advocates, expressing skepticism of evolutionary theory.
Some Kansans applaud the changes and want the board to go even further.
"I've never been convinced of evolution," said George Lambert, a graphic designer from Silver Lake. "Give intelligent design equal time."
Even with new standards, decisions about what's taught would remain with local school boards.
However, Bingman called the proposed standards "a wink and a nudge" to creationists, encouraging them to pressure
local boards into spending less classroom time on evolution.
Critics also contend that the new standards would allow teaching about intelligent design, which argues that an intelligent cause is the best way to explain some complex, well-organized features of the natural world. Bingman, other educators and many scientists view intelligent design as an attempt to repackage creationism, which has been banned from classrooms by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The debate isn't confined to Kansas. A federal trial is underway in Pennsylvania over the
Dover school board's requirement that high school students hear about intelligent design in their biology classes.
In August, President Bush endorsed teaching intelligent design alongside evolution. Last month, a poll by news organizations suggested that about 25 percent of Kansans hold similar views.
"I am a creationist and I feel that a Supreme Being created us," said Kent Swartz, a banker who attends a Baptist church in Kiowa and serves on the South Barber County school board. "I want you to respect my side, and I will respect your side."

Couple faces prison time
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA — The married owners of a group home for the mentally ill have been convicted of enslaving its residents, forcing them to work naked and perform sex acts and illegally billing their families and the federal government for therapy.
Arlan Kaufman, 69, and his wife, Linda, 62, were convicted of 50 federal charges — including health care fraud, Medicare fraud, forced labor and holding clients in involuntary servitude — in their treatment of residents at the Kaufman House Residential Treatment Center.
Jurors began deliberating Thursday and reached a verdict Monday afternoon.
Linda Kaufman was acquitted of making a false representation and writing, while her husband was convicted on the same charge.
The Kaufmans' bail was revoked and they were taken into custody immediately after the verdicts were announced.
Federal prosecutors contended the Kaufmans controlled the lives of mentally ill residents, including deciding who could wear clothes. They were found guilty of forcing residents to masturbate, fondle each other and shave each other's genitals — activities that Arlan Kaufman videotaped.
The Kaufmans face up to 20 years in prison for each of the conspiracy, forced labor and involuntary servitude charges; up to 10 years for each of the health care fraud charges; and up to five years for each of the other charges.
"Justice is about speaking for those least able to speak for themselves," said U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren. "Today has been a great achievement for justice."
Melgren credited Attorney General Phill Kline for pushing the investigation. The attorney general has said his office could not prosecute the case because the state's statutes of limitation for most of the charges had run out.
Melgren said the convictions had come from a wealth of evidence and the "courage of victims who took the stand in the face of their oppressor of years."
Rocky Nichols, executive director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, noted that it had taken more than 20 years for the Kaufmans' victims to get justice.
Kline, who was in court Monday, said it was important for the state to pass stricter controls of group homes for the mentally ill, particularly conflict of interest issues that allowed the Kaufmans to be landlords, guardians and service providers at the home.
The Kaufmans incorporated their unlicensed treatment center in 1980 and operated it until their arrests in October 2004. Their crimes dated to 1984.
"We hope justice today will become full justice through sentencing," said Nichols, who is representing 11 former residents in civil litigation.
Linda Kaufman's attorney,
Steve Joseph, said he would not
comment until after sentencing.
But his office coordinated an effort with Newton police, Nichols' group and the federal government before FBI agents swarmed into Newton, closed Kaufmans' facilities and arrested the couple.

The servitude counts arose from manual labor the residents did at the Kaufmans' farm and from their part in the videos, which prosecutors called "stomach-turning." According to the indictment, the Kaufmans created the videos to sell them.

If a dog were to miss some narcotics, no one would get hurt, Brenneman said.
"But if a dog I trained missed one bomb, I couldn't live with myself."
The Douglas County Sheriff's office has one K-9 unit, a German Shepherd named Gero that works with Corporal Ed Swanson. Gero was trained overseas and lives with Swanson, who is the dog's caretaker.
Gero is called out when there are reports of suspicious drugs
or a search warrant for drugs. He also is always with Swanson during his patrols.
Kari Wempe, spokeswoman for the Sheriff. said the dog was also used for public service, including visiting Lawrence schools.
In his career, Brenneman has trained 673 dogs that have protected presidents and dignitaries, been sent to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. His dogs also have been used to check for bombs at the Kansas Speedway and to protect actress Cybill Shepherd.
trom Newton, has operated in Lawrence for four years. He trains dogs at Vom Kaiserhofe for the Overland Park police and the Johnson County sheriff's department.
Brenneman gets his dogs mainly from Germany,where he learned to train dogs 25 years ago. There, dog breeding is controlled by the state and the dogs are bigger and more likely to have the skills necessary to do their job.
However, he does get Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers from northeast Kansas at animal shelters.
"If we can save a dog, then I feel we've done a great thing for humanity," Brenneman said about rescuing a dog from death and putting it to use saving lives.
However, Brenneman said out of 150 dogs he finds around Lawrence, only one will have the ability to complete Vom Kaiserhofe's training.
The other 149 dogs may be man's best friends,but it takes more than a friend to protect and serve.

A 'HOYT, MATIES!
Legislation won't stop video game violence
A
I am an avid gamer. I spend a lot of time playing video games and reading about them. I've reviewed video games for Jay-play. I've written articles about them in other papers. I have my own gaming blog. My e-mail address involves a certain Hylian, sword-wielding hero of mine. I could go on about why I'm such a hardcore gamer, but I think you get my point.
One of the coolest people in my book is Arnold Schwarzenegger, but with some legislation he's pushing, he may drop down a peg. Schwarzenegger is trying to pass a law in California very similar to laws in other states that ban the sale of violent video games to minors by imposing a $1,000 fine.
I've worked at Hastings Books Music & Video and I was proud to prevent kids from buying games like Grand Theft Auto. Despite what many of my fellow gamers don't want to admit, violent video games are bad for children. Psychologists and sociologists have completed studies that argue about the effects of violent video games, but I'm willing to admit I don't want my nine-year old cousin to play GTA. It would have a bad influence on him. I know that and I don't need to conduct or even read a study.
While I agree that violent
DAN HOYT
opinion@kansan.com
video games need to be kept out of the hands of children, I don't think vague, expensive and ineffective legislation is going to fix the problem anytime soon.
Bills like the one in California are vague on the definition of violence. The California bill defines violence as, "to virtually inflict serious injury on images of human beings" or human-like characters in a way that is "especially heinous, cruel or depraved in that it involves torture or serious physical abuse."
Although this is a decent definition it makes no distinction between cartoon-like violence such as in Nintendo's Mario games and realistic violence in games such as Manhunt, which is even more violent than Grand Theft Auto.
According to these standards, fighting space aliens could be violent if they resemble humans. It doesn't define degrees of violence.
The legislation doesn't mention the established Entertainment Safety Ratings Board, known as ESRB ratings. They
are printed on every video game sold in the U.S. If the California legislature want to be less vague it should monitor "Mature" and "Adults Only" games. Otherwise, the government will have to decide which games are violent and which aren't along with investigating stores and issuing fines.
My next point: cost. Somebody has to be paid to check retailers for carding underage children and check games for violent content without the ESRB ratings system. Nobody has said anything about the expense yet but it will cost money to enforce this law.
My last point: ineffectiveness. Almost every major gameretailer has a policy where it cards anyone who wants to buy an "M"-rated or an "AO"-rated game. The companies are fixing the problem without state legislatures trying to police anything. Even if they pass a law banning the sale of "M"- and "AO"-rated games to minors the problem is still there because parents.
According to the Entertainment Software Association 87 percent of game players under the age of 18 report that they get their parents' permission when renting or buying games, and 92 percent say their parents are present when they buy games.
best as a responsible gamer and convince parents not to buy "M"-rated games for their kids. Some parents listen and some don't. My experience has been that most don't.
I think having this legislation will create a false sense of security for parents who let the TV
At Hastings I tried to do my

I think the only way to truly fix the problem is by educating parents on the ESRB rating system and reminding them to be good parents and monitor what

their kids watch, read and do. We can't expect the government to do what parents should be doing and we shouldn't be wasting time, money and effort on an issue that government doesn't need to deal with.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Article misleads on Israeli situation
In an Associated Press article that appeared in Friday's The University Daily Kansan, the first line read: "Israel killed seven Palestinians ... Thursday against Islamic jihad." Two days before this article was written, there was a suicide bombing in Hedera, in Northern Israel, which killed five people.
This was not stated until the article's sixth paragraph. When students read the first line of the article they were led to believe that Israel was killing Palestinians for no reason.
In the last paragraph, the article states "In the Gaza refugee camp of Bajaaliya, Israeli aircraft
fired two missiles at a car carrying Islamic Jihad militants. Once again, one is left with the impression that Israel is firing rockets with no provocation. The article failed to mention, however, the Kassam rockets that were fired at an Israeli town just dawn before.
bomb Renews Conflict," leads one to believe that a new conflict is rising.
This suicide bombing is the first since Aug. 28, 2005, in Be'er Sheva. The headline, "Suicide
In addition, the caption beneath the photo stated "Palestinian youths gather around the wreckage of a car hit in an Israeli missile strike that killed seven Palestinians in the Jebaliya refugee camp ..."
The lead Palestinian negotiator was quoted on CNN saying they don't want to fall back into that vicious cycle.
The students read this and don't know all the facts. They have incomplete information about what is going on.
This is not the kind of article we want to print in our paper, especially when we don't normally print articles about Israel.
Tanya Johnson is a Dallas Junior and President of KU Israel Alliance.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Students not under tax burden
Tennyson Cambern's assertion in an article published on Nov. 1 that middle- and lower-income students would pay for raising tuition prices with the money saved from taxes assumes those students are currently under some massive tax burden.
I'm presuming most students are not suffering from excessive property or income tax, as they do not own property and/or do not receive an income high enough to equal the likely rise in tuition.
After attending a nationwide conference-call in the Office of Chancellor on the results of TABOR (Taxpayer Bill of Rights), I heard firsthand the ridiculous decisions Colorado's public Universities were forced to make.
Which buildings and programs would we cut at the University, how much money would the Alumni and Endowment Association have to raise to match our lost funds?
Additionally, many financially needy students take
loans, receive scholarships and/or independently pay for their education without parentalsupport.
The nation would think Kansas is just doing what it always does, listening to Libertarians and Reformists posing like Republicans.
I challenge the KU College Republicans to start acting like traditional conservatives and help the KU Young Democrats and Student Senate in defeating all threats to our University's future.
Marc Langston is a Wichita Sophmore and President of the KU Young Democrats.

I still can't believe you guys put that sorority girl article in there. I hope you guys won't do something like that again.
I just walked by the south side of Fraser Hall next to the pioneer statue and the pioneer statue was holding a shovel in one hand and a corndog in the other. I don't know why he was wearing a corndog.

Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2005: You have to play it cool this year, as many different factors could impact you. You often find others more than advocate to criticize and play devil's advocate. Know that comments are coming from each person's experiences and are not meant to be disagreeable. You also might not be realistic about your home life, and maybe you need this vagueness. If you move, choose to be near water. Many count on you, and you often feel weighed down. Ultimately, all of this will work out for the better. You have a way of surmounting difficulties and problems. If you are single, relationships might often be contentious, though your desirability is high. If you are attached, learn to agree to disagree. AQUARIUS always has a different outlook.

Tournament ends with mixed performances

The Kansas tennis team strolled through the first day of Western Michigan's Super Challenge in Kalamazoo, Mich., but hit a brick wall in the second day of play on Saturday.

Kansas combined for a 2-6 doubles and 1-5 singles record on the second day. Junior Brittany Brown earned the lone singles victory on the last day.
The Jayhawks were a combined 4-0 in doubles and 5-3 in
singles on the first day.
Kansas tennis coach Amy Hall-Holt said the record did not discourage the team and that the difficult opponents provided Kansas with good practice.
"I didn't feel like we were down," Hall-Holt said. "We all played well. Everyone's matches
seemed close."
The Jayhawks rebounded to finish 6-2 in singles play on the final day of competition on Sunday. Brown won her third singles victory of the meet on the final day.
"I came out there a lot more positive. I didn't freak out when

the match got close," Brown said. "I felt I knew I could win."
"She played some tough girls," Hall-Holt said. "When you're playing three-day tournaments, it's hard to compete at such a high level."
The freshman gained the top spot after impressive victories
Freshman Ksenia Bukina, who finished 2-1 on the weekend, played in the No. 1 singles position for the first time.
against highly ranked opponents, including her upset of top-ranked Maja Kovacek of New Mexico in the ITA Central Regional tournament in Salt Lake City on Oct. 20.
"Ksenia played very well. We were very happy with her performance." Hall-Holt said.
The move to put Bukina in the No.1 spot may not be a permanent one. Hall-Holt said nothing was set in stone.
Brown said the team is competing at a higher level than it was at this point last season.
"We're bringing in a new player in the spring," Hall-Holt said. "Things could be shaken up. I have no idea what the lineup will be."
"I think we ended on a positive note. Win or lose, no one felt horrible about their matches," Brown said. "A lot of people played some of the best matches they've played all semester. Last year I was scared going into the spring, but this year, I know we can beat these teams."
The team's first spring meet is Jan. 22, against Ball State in Bloomington, Ind.

Sophomores step out of shadows Class of 2008 ready for first game against Fort Hays State
BY MIRANDA LENNING
mlenning@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWITER
With all of the preason hype surrounding Kansas' freshman class, C.J. Giles said people had forgotten about the sophomores. Not that the sophomore forward is concerned about being below the radar. He said people will be talking about his class soon enough.
"We will show them when game time comes." Giles said.
Giles
K ans as men's basketball ball coach Bill Self said Giles, guard Russell Robinson, center Sasha Kaun and forward Darnell Jackson have made significant strides from last year.
Ollie
He is so impressed with Giles and Robinson that he practically guaranteed them a starting spot for Wednesday night's game against Fort Hays State.
He said Robinson and Giles have been the top two consistent performers for the Jayhawks so far.
"I think Russell has been the best perimeter player, and C.J. has been our best inside guy." Self said.
Self said it wasn't that Robinson's shot was better than anyone else's or that he took
better care of the ball than the other guards. It was Robinson's work ethic and attitude that has earned the sophomore point guard favor, Self said.
"He is like a machine for us," Self said. "He just shows up, goes to work, spends plenty of time doing it and doesn't complain. He sees the glass half full and goes out and does it the next day. For a young guy, he gets it pretty good."
Giles' scoring ability has improved because he has started to get some confidence, Self said. Giles is going to have to score this year for the Jayhawks to be successful down the line, Self said.
"Whether or not he is 14 points-a-game scorer, I don't know because he has never been that in his life and now we are asking him to do it at Kansas," Self said. "That is a unique situation. You have to get some confidence to be able to make baskets against real defenses and C.J. is getting there."
Giles said the attitude of all of his classmates had improved. He said they had a better understanding of what their role was after being in the system for a year.
They had plenty of time to learn from the veteran players on last year's team. Playing behind guys like Wayne Simim, Keith Langford, Aaron Miles and Mike Lee taught them a great deal about what it takes to win a game, Giles said.
"That is a unique situation. You have to get some confidence to be able to make baskets against real defenses and C.J. is getting there."
Kansas men's basketball coach
Bill Self
"I learned that it is little things that can win or lose the game," Giles said.
Self said that year of sitting on the bench has been motivation for the sophomores in the offseason and early this year.
"They have tasted what it is like to sit on the bench, fortunately, so now they are like, 'Hey, we're not going to let any freshman come in here and get our spot,'" Self said. "So I think they are hungry and they want to be impact players at Kansas."
In addition to Giles and Robinson, Self said he thought Kaun and Jackson were improving as well. Kaun, who his teammates said was the most physical player on the team, attended a basketball camp in Las Vegas this summer that helped develop his skills.
post," Self said. "He could come out and be a real impact player. He is dropping that hook shot and getting his footwork down, and his body looks great."
Jackson might be the player most under the radar in the sophomore class.
"Sasha is tough in the
The death of his grandmother over the summer expedited his maturation process. Self said.
"He is improved in all aspects of his game, from his work ethic to his approach," Self said. "He can still improve more but he is more confident, and I think a lot of it could be he was dealt a hand that forced maturity in a lot of ways that nobody would want to go through and I think in some ways maybe brought a sense of new focus maybe more so than what he had in past years."
Just because they are not in the headlines like the freshman, Self said the sophomores were not discouraged.
He said the older the players get, the less concerned they get about what people on the outside say about them.
"It is not the freshmen's fault that they get attention, and it's not the sophomores' fault that they don't," Self said "Those stories about the freshmen, I guarantee that the sophomores aren't reading them."

Baseball star's son charged in drug case
NASHVILLE,Tenn. — Pete Rose Jr., the son of baseball's all-time hits leader, pleaded guilty Monday to charges that he distributed GBL, a drug sometimes sold as a steroid alternative, to his minor league teammates.
The 35-year-old Rose appeared before a federal judge and said nothing but "yes, sir" when asked if he understood the charges and plea.
Under a deal with prosecutors, Rose could be sentenced to 21 to 27 months in federal prison and fined up to $1 million. His sentencing hearing is
set for Feb. 20.
Brody and Rose declined to answer questions from reporters before driving away.
The Drug Enforcement Administration said Rose's arrest was part of a larger investigation into a major GBL trafficking organization.
—The Associated Press
"This is a tragedy. Anyone who knows this young man knows he is a very, very fine young man," Rose's attorney, Jeffrey Brody, said outside the courthouse. "The use of this stuff is common. It's used as a sleep aid by many people in sports. And he got caught in a time warp because it was legal up to 2000. He came forward and immediately confessed and accepted responsibility."

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10A conference loss than Kansas (6-4-0), made the tournament.
A head-to-head 2-1 loss against Kansas left Texas one game behind Kansas in the Big 12 loss column.
"That surprised me a little bit," Francis said of the Longhorns' admittance to the tournament. "We finished ahead of them in conference. I'm happy for Texas that they made it — it's good for the conference — but I'm disappointed for our guys."
Of the five Big 12 teams selected, three also were chosen to host the first two rounds in their quadrants.
Nebraska takes on Creighton in Lincoln, Neb., to open tournament play.
Texas also received a host bid and will face Texas- El Paso in the first round.
Adding insult to injury, Kansas' fate landed on Francis' birthday. Pointing no fingers, he gave an explanation of his team's early season end.
Big 12 tournament and conference champion Texas A&M (16-3-2) will host Northwestern State in the opening round. College Station, Texas, will also be the site of the NCAA finals.

Buffs, Cyclones look to pivotal game
BY DANIEL BERK
dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SWIPTERWIT
Colorado once again separated itself from the rest of the Big 12 North on Saturday when it pounded Missouri 41-12 at home.
With the victory, Colorado moved to 7-2 on the season and 5-1 in conference play. The only way the Buffaloes could lose the division is if they lose their final two games and the Cyclones wins both of its final two games.
Running back Lawrence Vickers set the pace for the Buffaloes on Saturday with four touchdowns and 85 yards. The senior from Houston has been used this season as a blocker more than a runner, but on Saturday Colorado football coach Gary Barnett decided to give Vickers more carries.
Vickers had just 133 yards rushing before Saturday. Barnett said Vickers' performance was good, but that the victory against Missouri was a total team effort.
played all year," Barnett said. "We had a lot of guys who had real good games, and they took the challenge well. We have to put it behind us now though, and move on because we have a very difficult road trip coming up."
"That's as good as we have
David Zalubowski/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
In addition to the solid effort from Vickers, Colorado kicker Mason Crosby was named Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week for the fourth time this season and second week in a row. Crosby hit two field goals, one from 56 yards out and the other from 43 yards. Crosby is now 16-19 on the season with his longest completed from 58 yards.
COLORADO
Colorado can clinch the division this Saturday with a victory against runner-up Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. Iowa State started the conference season 0-3, but has since rebounded and now stands at 3-3.
for three touchdowns and almost 200 yards. Iowa State also had the luxury of using tailback Stevie Hicks. Hicks, who had missed several games this season because of injuries, had a large part in Saturday's victory.
Iowa State toppled Kansas State last weekend at home 45-17. Sophomore quarterback Bret Meyer once again set the rhythm for the Cyclones. Meyer threw
He rushed 24 times for 149 yards and one touchdown. Hicks came on strong in the second half when the score was still 17-10. He ran for 130 yards in the second half alone. Hicks was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his effort.
Colorado running back Lawrence Vickers fights his way for one of his four touchdowns in Colorado's 41-12 victory against Missouri in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday. Vickers has 11 touchdowns in nine games this season.
Barnett said he knew how dangerous the Iowa State team was, especially with the return of Hicks.
"Iowa State is a team that is getting better and better," Barnett said. "Now, with Hicks back, they have all their weapons there. They have also played solid defensively all season. They will be on a high emotional level playing at home, so we will have our hands full."
Iowa State's latest victim, Kansas State, found itself in a tough spot to qualify for a bowl game. With the loss to the Cyclones, the
Wildcats' record dropped to 4-5 on the season and the team will have to win its final two games to go to the post season.
Kansas State will travel to Lincoln, Neb., to play Nebraska this weekend and then return home
for its final game of the season against Missouri in two weeks. If Kansas State loses either game, it will miss out on a bowl for the second year in a row.

Jayhawks make KU history with big victory against Big Red
UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT
The Kansas victory against Nebraska was the biggest victory in KU football history.
Sure, it's tough not to pick Kansas shocking No. 1 Missouri in 1960, or the Blue Bonnet Bowl victory in 1961 or even the Aloha Bowl stump of UCLA in 1995.
D.
But for every close game,
None of those games, though,
was 36 years in the making.
MARK ZILLMAN
MZILLMAN@KANSAN.COM
Think about it. In 1968, Lydon Johnson was president, gas was 34 cents a gallon and Kansas football coach Mark Mangino was in the eighth grade. That means every KU freshman from
Scores of Kansas fans had written an "L" next to the Nebraska game when the schedule came out. Beating Nebraska was simply not an option.
1969 onward, has passed through Lawrence knowing nothing but defeat against Nebraska.
The second-longest active losing streak in college football — Notre Dame defeated Navy 41 times in a row is first — has been about as lopsided as possible. Yes, there have been some close games.
In 1969, the struggling Jayhawk football team lost only 21-17 to the Cornhuskers in Lawrence. In 1973, the Jayhawks lost in Lincoln 10-9. A failed two-point conversion doomed Kansas from pulling an upset in 1993, and in 1999 the Jayhawks led early, only to come up on the losing end, 24-17.
there were plenty of games like 1987, when the Cornhuskers pounded out a 54-2 victory. That game was an improvement from the 1986 blasting, when Nebraska won 70-0.
In fact, since 1968, the Cornhuskers have scored more than 40 points 26 times against the Jayhawks. The average margin of victory since 1968 also isn't pretty. The 'Huskers won every game in the 36-game winning streak by an average of almost 36 points. It is easy to see why some Kansas — and Nebraska — fans thought
this streak would never end.
The 40 points the Jayhawks scored was the most Kansas has ever scored against Nebraska. The previous record of 36 was set when Kansas knocked off the 'Huskers 36-20 in 1899.
another losing streak against Kansas State last season. But the Jayhawks' victory against Nebraska was something truly special.
Seven football coaches, including Glen Mason and Jayhawk legend Don Fambrough, could not send the Big Red back home with a loss.
On Saturday, the Jayhawks began a new era of football, and no other victory in school history can top that.

NCAA snubs Kansas
Caroline Smith silently walked out of Memorial Stadium on Monday with her head hung low, unwilling to talk about what had just occurred.
The senior forward was followed by junior defender Holly Gault, who walked away in similar fashion.
Eventually, the entire Kansas soccer team filed out of the room where it just learned the team was denied a third straight trip to the NCAA Soccer Tournament.
Everyone was in shock. They deserved to be.
The Jayhawks being left out of this year's NCAA Tournament was a crime.
Five teams from the Big 12 Conference got in, and Kansas was overlooked despite finishing the conference season in a four-way tie for second place.
Logically, if five teams were to be selected from the Big 12, the top five teams would deserve bids.
But the group in charge of selecting the 64-team field for this year's NCAA Tournament was obviously more interested in other factors.
Texas A&M, which won both the Big 12 regular season and conference tournament, received a four seed and the chance to play host to the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Colorado, Iowa State and Nebraska, the other second place teams in the Big 12, also received invitations. That's fine.
Kansas gets left out of the tournament entirely, while Texas gets the ultimate advantage of playing postseason games at home. What part of that makes sense?
But Texas, which finished Big 12 play in sixth place and lost to Kansas head-to-head was somehow selected over Kansas. Making matters worse, Austin, Texas, was chosen as a host site for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Excuse me?
Texas owns an impressive victory against Texas A&M, but that alone isn't enough to merit leapfrogging Kansas.
Perhaps the NCAA tournament selection committee wanted to take advantage of Texas' Mike A. Myers Stadium & Soccer Field, which holds more than 20,000 people.
Why else would third-seeded California be sent across the country to play there?
The selection committee had three other head scratchers, sending second-seeded Florida State on the road to play rival Florida, fourth-seeded Pepperdine across the country to play at Vanderbilt and top-seeded Portland to Nebraska.
If this happened in the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament, people wouldn't stand for it. Can you imagine the reaction if Kansas was overlooked in March after finishing second in the Big 12?
It would be an ugly scene to say the least.
Obviously, the soccer tournament has different rules and factors to consider, but putting together the best possible field should be the top priority. That didn't happen Monday.

A spot in the field would have been the fourth in five years for the Jayhawks (11-7-2, 6-4-1 Big 12), but instead the Kansas soccer team's season is finished.
For a second, silence. Then emotions filled the room. The NCAA Tournament denied Kansas a bid into its 64-team tournament.
"It's just a crappy way to go out," Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis said. "I thought we'd be in for sure. I'm disappointed, especially for the seniors."
Players were not available for comment.
Kansas ended the regular season with a 6-3-1 Big 12 Conference record that tied the team for second place with Iowa State (11-6-3), Colorado (12-7-3) and Nebraska (13-7-1).

Defender wins weekly Big 12 award

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The Kansas defense was strong on Saturday in its victory against Nebraska, and one lineman's efforts were rewarded.
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith anchored the Kansas defense with a sack and eight tackles, including three for a loss. The performance earned Keith SBC Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors, the Conference announced Monday.
"I come out and play hard every play," Keith said. "As a team, it was the best game we've played all year, and it was very satisfying."
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said that Keith came off the ball like a rocket against the Nebraska offensive line.
"He uses his hands better
The Jayhawks came into the game ranked second nationally in rush defense, behind only Oklahoma. After holding Nebraska to 21 yards rushing, and an Oklahoma bye week, Kansas is ranked first in the nation, holding opponents to an average of 64.1 yards rushing per game.
"Everybody does their job well and knows their role that they are given in that defense, and performs it flawlessly," Mangino said. "We're accustomed to seeing great play from our linebackers and great sacks

Kansas produced its first defensive touchdown of the season on Saturday, when senior linebacker Kevin Kane scored on a 40-yard interception return.
from our defensive linemen."
"It's an exclamation point. We pride ourselves on defense," Kane said. "One of our goals every week is to score on defense. Finally we got one. We just have to continue to do that."
Mangino said that an ensemble, collective cast has fueled the defense this season.
Kane nearly fell before reaching the end zone, but kept his balance for the final 10 yards of his run. Kane had a similar return last season against Tulsa, but fell just before reaching the goal line.
"That was one of the first thoughts that came to my head, that I wasn't going to get caught this time," Kane said. "Brandon Perkins laid out a nice little block for me. Thank God he was there."
"I'm very proud of our defense," Mangino said. "They have played like the No. 1 defense against the rush in the nation this year."

Students fight to the music
BY ERIC AMMERMAN
eammerman@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Capoeira is played by capoeiristas, in a circle called a roda. The roda is supposed to reflect the world and the people in it.
An art of extreme concentration, acute movements and skillful stunts, capoeira is becoming popular in modern culture.
Slaves uprising against their masters, underground street-streets, back flips and handstands. It sounds like an action movie, but it's actually part of a martial art called capoeira.
Created in Brazil by African slaves during the 1500s, the name capoeira means "bad grass" or "weed" in Portuguese.
the capoiristas call their art a game, but when watched it looks like an acrobatic, yet smooth dance.
The fighting usually involves two people within the roda using kicks and various acrobatics to throw the opponent off guard hoping to land a hit.
At Kansas, there is a thriving capoiera club. With 20 members, the club loves its art. Lawrence senior Christian Hidalgo has played for three years.
"For me, it is a lifestyle, not
Hidalgo became interested in capoeira in an unusual way.
The art wasn't always as available to those interested, however.
"Originally, I was interested in break dancing, and I realized that it has many ties to capoeira." he said.
Music is also crucial to capoeira. It dictates the type and speed of fighting that occurs in the roda.
Over time, two forms of capoeira have developed: regional and Angola. Regional capoeira is considered the more traditional form, while Angola capoeira has a more intense fighting style.
When the slaves of Brazil were freed, many were homeless and without jobs so they started to form roaming street gangs that fought with capoeira. This caused the Brazilian government to prohibit the practice of capoeira in 1892.
Capoeira is such a lifestyle that eventually capoeires take part in a batizado or baptism into the art. At these events the person involved in the batizado is often given an apelido, or capoeira nickname.
Hidalgo said other martial artists thought of capoeira as more of a dance.
In recent years, capoirea's influence has been seen in movies, music and video games. In the popular Tekken video game series, characters Eddie Gordo and Christie Monteiro are capoireistas.
just a sport or a dance," Hidalgo said.
This certainly didn't stop people from playing capoeira, it simply just took the art to a more underground level.
But capoeira isn't all about kicks and cartwheels.
During the 1940s, the Brazilian government lifted the prohibition on capoieira, thus opening the door for the art to come to the United States in the 1960s.
"Within a roda group, it is important to have a sense of family." Hidalgo said. "It's about all the different aspects: music, acrobatics, history and tradition."
{
With the club at the University and other schools in the area, it is easy to get involved with the art.
"It is a lifestyle I adopted," Hidalgo said. "Every class I go to and every roda I'm in, I learn something new."

Movie piracy primary issue
Two native Kansans and Hollywood names will be on campus this week.
Dan Glickman, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc., and Alex Graves, executive producer of "The West Wing," will speak at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics for the "Hollywood and Politics" lecture series today and Thursday.
Glickman will focus on how politics and Hollywood intertwine. As a former politician and current lobbyist for the film industry, Glickman has had experience with both spheres, said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute.
"He is in the perfect position to talk about Hollywood and politics," Lacy said.
Gayle Osterberg, spokesperson for MPAA, said Glickman would also address the movie industry's biggest challenge: piracy.
Osterberg said movie piracy has been a growing problem on campuses and for the industry, which loses more than $5 billion a year.
Glickman, from Wichita, spent nine terms serving in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Kansas' 4th District. He was the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture from 1995 to 2001. Glickman
The University of Kansas will be Glickman's third stop on a tour of campuses nationwide, Osterberg said.

An ordinance outlawing the possession of marijuana in Lawrence appeared in front of the city commission for a vote Tuesday, only to be pushed back to be considered again on Nov. 29.
The ordinance, which started on Sept. 6 when the commission directed city staff to draft it, would have moved jurisdiction of possession of marijuana and paraphernalia from district court to municipal court for first-time offenders.
The ordinance was pushed back because commissioners couldn't agree on a minimum fine. Commissioners Sue Hack and Mike Amyx insisted on a $300 minimum, while Mayor Dennis "Boog" Highberger and commissioner Mike Rundle wanted something smaller — in the range of zero to $100.
Highberger and Rundle reminded Amyx and Hack that the Kansas Uniform Controlled Substances Act had no minimum fine, but they were not swaved.
Commissioner David Schauer proposed a compromise and suggested the ordinance have a minimum fine of $300, but a possible decrease of that fine at the judge's discretion if "mitigating factors" existed. Schauer could not say what those factors would be.
"I have a goal of making sure the public understands that we aren't trying to decriminalize, but I want to give judges the ability to deal with each defendant in regard to particular circumstances." Schauner said.
Immediately after that vote, Highberger proposed a vote on the ordinance as it stood, without a minimum fine. The ordinance was again voted down 2-3, with only Rundle and Highberger voting for it.
Rundle and Schauner voted in favor of the amended ordinance, while Highberger, Hack and Amyx voted against it.

Added faculty helps Spanish majors enroll

Jill Kuhnheim found openings in the 400-level Spanish classes. She can't remember the last time that happened.
More students hablan español
The number of students majoring in Spanish has increased dramatically over the last seven years.
Each flag represents 20 Spanish majors. The flags represent eight different Spanish-speaking countries.

Three former professors in the department were on phase retirement, which meant that they received a full salary but were not required to teach as many classes. Another former professor was a joint professor with the Humanities and Western Civilization department, which cut down on the number of classes he could teach
During the past two years, the department of Spanish and Portuguese has hired six new professors who teach more classes than the professors they replaced, said Kuhnheim, professor and chairwoman of the department.
Now, more sections of classes are offered, and students in the growing department can get into the classes they need.
The department could not hire new professors because it did not have the money, but the five-year Tuition Enhancement Plan has given the funds for the new positions.
The department has about 274 Spanish majors. This number has grown by more than 500 percent since 1997, when the department had 50 Spanish majors.
In previous semesters, students came to Kuhneim during the enrollment period in tears, worried that they would not be able to
graduate because they could not get into a particular class.
Jonathan Kealing/KANSAN
Rachel Cloud, Lawrence senior, said that enrolling in Spanish classes had been hard throughout her four years as a Spanish major.
"I'm excited for the younger students," she said.
Cloud said that several times she had to go to a class in which she wasn't yet enrolled in hopes that someone would drop the class.
"I had to take whatever was open until the second half of my junior year," she said. "I didn't have much selection."
Another benefit is smaller classes. Before the new professors were hired, classes intended for 18 to 20 students would have 35, Kuhnheim said.

The smaller a class is, the more each student benefits, said Patricia Tomé, Portedveda, Spain, graduate teaching assistant.
With smaller classes, she has more one-on-one interaction with students. "They form a bond between them that you don't see in a bigger class," she said.

Who's Who at KU RV KIM WALLACE
NEWS
BY KIM WALLACE
editor@kansan.com
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
Chuck Marsh Associate professor of journalism
What is a typical day like for you?
I answer a lot of e-mail because I'm teaching 101, but it starts off with me running out the door, spilling coffee, kissing my kids goodbye. Then there's the whole flurry of teaching, researching. It sounds like I'm dodging the answer, but there's not a typical day.
Why did you decide to teach journalism?
I love storytelling. That happens too much in lecture. I love telling stories. I'm fascinated with the English language; it's the greatest thing since Greek. What better than journalism? Well, maybe a novelist, but I don't have any talent in that area.
Professional quarterback. They never gave me a chance! Lack of talent had a lot to do with it, but I still think if they just suit me up, I could still go in a game. In fact, though, I have no athletic ability. I just wanted to be an NFL quarterback.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
March
What classes do you teach?
Journalism 101 Media and Society,435 Message Development,and 608 Ethics,those are the three most common. I teach more strategic communications,but I'm one of those lucky ones that gets to crossover.Ethics is a crossover course.
What is your favorite class to teach?
I don't have a favorite. Whichever one I'm in at the moment, I really don't.
Where did you attend college?
KU, three degrees. I have a BA, MA, and Ph.D. I spent 11 years as a student.
What are you involved with on campus?
KU Libraries committee doctoral committees working with grad students and the School of Education.
What are some of your favorite newspapers?
The Kansan, Lawrence Journal-World, The New York Times, different blogs, the Drudge Report. I like to go to different Web sites. It's important to me to not just go to the conservative ones or the liberal ones, but both. I got to go to Karagatan about 10 years ago and I was so ignorant, I felt so sorry because all the people said "all the media are biased so we have to read five or six newspapers." Now I'm trying to read five or six media from different perspectives to try and figure out where the middle is.
How did it feel to win the HOPE Award the day that KU beat Nebraska?
I told my wife after we beat Nebraska — I haven't been to a KU football game since I was five and I'm 50 — and watched everybody run down onto the field, I said "You know, just drop me off at the mortuary, because I gotta go in and lie down, take me now, just take me now, I've been to the mountain top."
What is your favorite KU tradition?
BUSINESS
My favorite KU tradition is when we're winning a sports event. But my favorite thing about KU is Watson Library. I don't know if that's a tradition, but the best thing about KU is Watson Library. The stacks smell so good and you go back there and you smell the paper — I love Watson Library. But I don't know if that's a tradition. My favorite tradition is when we're winning a game and the Rock Chalk chant begins. Every hair I have left is standing on end; it gives me the shivers — I love it.
Bank helps spenders save
BY ALY BARLAND
abarland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Bank of America is introducing a new program that can help students save whenever they spend.
Bank of America's program, "Keep the Change," allows customers who use Bank of America Visa debit cards to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The extra money is automatically deposited into the customer's savings account from the checking account.
Thorne said the program was not intended to encourage dependence on credit or debit cards but was created to help increase savings.
The program will help students because it will force them to save money every time they use their debit cards, said Grant Thorne, manager of Lawrence's Bank of America, 900 Ohio St.
Edited by Kellis Robinett
David Rickard, Memphis, Tenn., junior, has been banking with Bank of America for five years. He
"It would encourage saving because most people don't think fifty cents is a lot of money, but I think it would add up over a year or two," Rickard said.
said he had not yet heard about the new program but said he would be interested in it.
Another benefit of the "Keep the Change" program is that it would allow students to balance their accounts easier because the program rounds up to the nearest whole dollar. Thorne said,
For the first three months of participation in the program, Bank of America will match the savings deposited through purchases. After the three months, Bank of America will continue to match 5 percent of the savings each year.
Dennis Rosen, business professor, teaches a marketing class and said that the program may alleviate guilt that customers feel when they make purchases.
The program was an example of Bank of America trying to distinguish itself from other banks, Rosen said.
is they're tying savings in with spending." Rosen said.
He said it would be important for users of the program to continue to buy things that they need and not to spend frivolously in an attempt to save more with the program.
One student does not have extra money to deposit and would rather not deposit it in a savings account.
"The interesting thing here
Kristen Perdue, Prairie Village junior, is a Bank of America customer but she said she tried to use the debit card sparingly and would not be drawn by the new program.
"I don't have a lot of extra money." Perdue said.
Thorne said that "Keep the Change" started on Oct. 17 and that he had seen a strong interest in the option so far.
"Most of the accounts that are being opened are getting that," Thorne said.
He said that accounts already in existence are adding the option to their account. All customers have to do is notify the bank that they want to participate in the program, and their purchases with the debit card will automatically round up.
To prevent penalties from overdrawing, Bank of America customers can use the overdraft protection policy, which uses funds from the savings account to cover the checking account if it is overdrawn.
The program automatically moves the change from the checking account into the savings account, so users must keep a close eye on the balance in their checking accounts.
Matt Pallen, personal banker at Bank of America, said the bank does benefit from the new program.
"We're benefiting because we are maintaining existing savings accounts and attracting new customers." Pallen said.

Web file-sharing service Grokster agrees to shut down, pay damages
LOS ANGELES — The popular Internet file-sharing service Grokster Ltd. may be going the way of Napster.
In a surprise settlement with the recording and movie industry announced Monday, Grokster agreed to shut down its music- and movie-swapping software and pay $50 million in damages.
Grokster executives indicated they planned to launch a legal, fee-based "Grokster 3G" service before year's end under a new parent company, believed to be Mashboxx of Virginia Beach Va.
"It is time for a new beginning," Grokster said in a statement issued from its corporate headquarters in the West Indies. On its Web site, Grokster said it "hopes to have a safe and legal service available soon."
Mashboxx, headed in part by former Grokster President Wayne Rosso, already has signed a licensing agreement with Sony BMG Music Entertainment.
Grokster lost an important Supreme Court ruling in June when justices ruled that the entertainment industry can file piracy lawsuits against technology companies caught encouraging customers to steal music and movies over the Internet.
The terms of the settlement ban Grokster from participating, directly or indirectly, in the theft of copyrighted files and requires the company to stop giving away its software.
Grokster's settlement does not affect other defendants in the case, including StreamCast Networks Inc., which distributes Morpheus, and Sharman Networks Ltd., which distributes Kazaa.

Man gets life sentence for six murders
HAYWARD, Wis. - A Hmong immigrant convicted of murdering six deer hunters and attempting to kill two others after a trespassing dispute was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole.
On Tuesday, Judge Norman Yackel ordered Chai Soua Vang, 37, to serve six life prison terms, one after the other, guaranteeing he would never be freed from prison.
Yackel described Vang as a "time bomb ready to go off."
"These crimes are not isolated acts, but a pattern of anti-social conduct," he said.
Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager sought the maximum sentence for Vang, a father of seven children, arguing Vang could kill again, given his "explosive temperament" and lack of true remorse or regret.
Vang, a truck driver from St. Paul, Minn., was convicted on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted homicide in the Nov. 21 murders.

Vang was convicted of killing Robert Crotteau, his son Joey Crotteau, Denny Drew, Allan Laski, Jessica Willers and Mark Roidt.

Other RAs mentioned experiences such as being duct-taped into a room or being asked by residents to keep goldfish in the hall toilets. The worst Horner said she has had to deal with was moving furniture out of elevators that students had put in them or the occasional false fire alarm.
Kristin Barnett, Evergreen, Colo., freshman and a resident on Horner's floor, said that over Halloween weekend someone set off the fire alarm at 4 a.m. and the whole building had to clear out for an hour while everything was checked and secured.
All the resident assistants on campus spent a week before school started this semester training to handle possible disputes among residents, so they would be ready to handle them when they happened during the

Horner is also in charge of organizing three programs per semester: one social, such as an outing to a game or restaurant; and two educational, such as a bulletin board or lessons. She recently hosted salsa-dancing lessons for the residents.
Horner said the job immediately put her in a position to be more responsible, not just for the residents on her floor but also for herself.
"Being an RA has made me both stronger and wiser. You really have to be sure of yourself in handling different things," Horner said. "I've definitely become more educated on problems and how to handle them."
Her job does not go unnoticed. Her residents recognize her responsibilities and dedication.
"I admire Katie for being willing to take a job that would put her in a position where she might not be well-liked because she has to watch over people," Barnett said.
Besides the responsibilities and time commitment, Horner said that she enjoyed her job and that she enjoyed her floor. She said she didn't seem to mind the occasional middle-of-the-night wake up or interruptions to her morning routine.
It's all routine in the life of an RA.

JACKSBORO, Tenn. — A student shot and killed an assistant principal and seriously wounded two other administrators at a high school Tuesday, officials said. The student was arrested.
Several students identified the shooter as a 14-year-old freshman, Assistant Principal Ken Bruce was killed, according to state Education Department spokeswoman Rachel Woods. Principal Gary Seale, who was shot while trying to take the student into custody, was reported in serious condition, and Assistant Principal Jim Pierce in critical condition. Parents rushed to the 1,400-student school to take their children home.
"They are searching each student as they are getting on the buses," said Roger Wallace, a driver at a pizza restaurant nearby.

Laura Green, director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas,

keep more students in school.
Amyx disagreed with Schauner because he didn't want to put a judge in a situation to pick and choose who was going to be subject to a lesser fine. Schauner said making decisions was what judges did.
Green said she would have been glad to see the ordinance pass even with a minimum fine because her concern was to reduce the amount of harm on students. Students convicted in municipal court instead of district court wouldn't lose financial aid.
Leslie Eldridge, community affairs director of the Student Senate, said the Student Senate supported the ordinance because it would
Green thought Schauner's compromise was reasonable even though she did not agree with imposing a minimum fine. Mandatory minimum sentences do not allow a judge to use his or her discretion for deciding an appropriate
"We believe the ordinance is a student-rights issue," Eldridge said. "We recognize that many students depend on federal financial aid to finance their education. We also know that some students will unfortunately have to leave school if they lose financial aid."
Schauner, Hack and Amyx all said they sought the public's comment on the issue and didn't want
"Personally, I think $300 is outrageous," Green said. "A DUI is $500. That's pretty cheap considering that a drunk driver could kill someone. It should be $5,000."
Ordinances contain minimum fines only when offenders harm other people, property or the environment, Green said. Smoking marijuana doesn't fall under any of those three categories, she said.
to proceed without a minimum fine based on that comment.
Rosemary Hill was one Lawrence citizen who was outraged about the ordinance's possible passage. Over the weekend she sent a letter, which strongly opposed the ordinance, to the commission.
She said she couldn't believe Schauner said on Oct. 25 that a minimum fine could become a financial burden for the defendant.
She said her biggest problem with the ordinance was that students convicted of violating it for the first time would still receive financial aid.
"I don't want my tax dollars going toward someone breaking the law," she said.
"This is not a slap-on-the-wrist thing. It's a drug. I have two grandsons at a vulnerable age, and they've been taught that drug use is wrong."
City staff will provide their findings to the commission at the Nov. 29 meeting, when the commission will vote on the ordinance again.

Breaking up is easy to do
HUMP DAY
Not every relationship is like this, but we've all gone through one.
I live life by three simple rules. Never wear flip-flops to a urinal, never eat meat out of a vending machine and never lose a friend to a dominated relationship.
A buddy finds a new significant other who changes everything about him and erases all his friends. Meanwhile, a squadron of pals is left hanging and the friend is nowhere to be found. The Super Bowl is on, and he's shoveling the snow off her sidewalk.
It is time to break the ritual of "boy meets girl, boy likes girl, girl makes boy watch The Notebook."
There are a few likely places to find your friend. Those places are a Ryan Cabrera concert or pottery class. The most likely spot, however is at a mall, carrying all her bags.
The guy who walked himself into this trap is defenseless against the witch-like powers of the cunning female. His only chance at redemption is through you, the best friends. If you let him spiral downward much longer, he will be a lost cause.
All hope is not gone. There is a way to get him back, and this is how.
Then, he will never be honest and tell you exactly where he is. He doesn't want his pride hurt.
First you have to locate where he is. When doing this you need to remember a few things.
The reason a mall is a likely place to find the couple is that not only can they buy clothes, but they can take family portraits for the holiday card they plan on sending to friends and family. You probably won't get a card, though.
PETER CUNNINGHAM
ERIC JORGENSEN opinion@kansan.com
The second thing you need to remember is that he won't look the same. He will likely be wearing a giant knitted sweater. Depending on the season, the sweater may vary in design. Look for cornucopias or reindeer on the sweater for the upcoming holiday season.
She will probably ask him to wait with the bags until she goes first. While he's waiting, one friend approaches him and tells him there is an emergency. He will be surprised and disappointed you found him in his new habitat.
You need a good lie to get him to leave his girlfriend in the bathroom. Tell him his favorite super model is signing underwear in Victoria's Secret. If that does not work, head-butt him and drag him away as quick as possible.
After finding him, here is what needs to be done: You and two other friends have to wait for the time she finally lets him go the bathroom.
Supplementing his disastrous wardrobe, his hair will be parted, and he will be clean shaven. There's a chance he may be tooting a tiny, Paris Hilton-esque dog in a little pink handbag.
While the boyfriend is distracted or unconscious, the other two friends will enter the women's bathroom. One will carry a camera; the other will be wearing a trench-coat and nothing else. The friend with the coat on should now take it off. Make
sure both friends have ski-masks so she can't identify you.
Kick the door to her stall open.
She will then have a look of surprise on her face. That look should resemble an "O-face." As the naked man jumps close to her face, the friend with the camera should snap as many pictures as possible. The pictures will resemble moments of infidelity.
Scamper out of the bathroom and into a safer environment. Make sure to bring the boyfriend with you, it will make her even madder.
After the pictures are developed, show them to the boyfriend. Tell him how sorry you are, but it is obvious she's not interested in him. Throw in a "She wasn't good for you" and a "She hates kittens."
Meanwhile, send duplicates to her and threaten to send them to her family and post them on the Internet. Between his anguish and her future being ruined, there is no way they will stay together.
All this may seem a little "hasty," "unethical" or "just plain wrong." But who's to judge you?
Machiavelli wrote if the ends justify the means, do it. Are male, full-frontal nudity and a little blackmail worth keeping your friend? Absolutely it is.
Don't accept "I'm spending time with Sarah's family," or "Catherine and I are crocheting scarves" as answers to your invitations anymore. Get out there and save your friend before he slips into the black hole that is "Uber-whipped."

Students' ignorance of current events will come full circle
I don't quite know how to put this, but what's going on in Washington is, well, kind of a big deal.
Now, I'm not the type of person who engages in political debates on a regular basis, nor am I a person who normally gives a damn about what's going on in Washington.
Politics are boring. They're boring, they're stupid and frankly, no one our age cares about or understands them. Watching the news is about enticing as having sex with Dick Cheney.
For those of you like me who get their news from 'The Daily Show' and the Kansan, I'm sorry to say this, but it's time to switch to CNN or pick up The New York Times, because something big is rumbling in the stomach of the Capitol.
BETSY MCLEOD

It's time to wake up and pay attention, because your future's on the line.
Teddy Roosevelt once wisely advised Americans to "walk softly and carry a big stick." It seems our motto now is to stomp around and beat people
It's our generation that's going to be left with a torn and tattered economy, a mess overseas and no health insurance to give us anti-depressants after we realize it's our responsibility to clean up the mess that's been made.
Come on, we should be outraged at our America. What have we become?
People started paying attention when the White House kept stonewalling an investigation on the misinformation that led to the war in Iraq and when Lewis "Scooter" Libby was indicted for lying to the American people about matters of international security.
Half the reason things are so screwed up around here is because people, like most of us, just don't care. Take a look around, fellow victims, at the country we will soon inherit. I'm disgusted with the morals our country has become accustomed to, and I hope that our generation will be the one that will return America to the values set forth by our grandparents.
up with a tree branch.
American policy has always been to only engage in war when national security is under a direct threat. There never were any weapons of mass destruction.
For those of you like me who get their news from The Daily Show and the Kansan, I'm sorry to say this, but its time to switch to CNN or pick up the New York Times, because something is rumbling in the stomach of the capital."
CIA envoy Joseph Wilson, in a preliminary investigation in 2002 of a supposed weapons transaction, concluded that, "I have little choice but to conclude that it was highly doubtful that any such transaction had ever taken place."
Senator John McCain wrote an amendment that would prohibit cruel or degrading treatment of prisoners "regardless of nationality or physical location."
It is now suspiciously evident, according to Newsweek, "...that the Bush administration, and in particular the powerful, secretive vice president, willfully bent the facts to lead America into the Iraq War."
Two thousand soldiers have lost their lives in that war, and for what?
Vice President Dick Cheney has vehemently tried to convince the senator to omit the preceding condition.
A new scandal in the news is the government's nonchalant position on torturing detainees in prisons outside the United States. New reports have confirmed that the inhumane treatment of prisoners at Abu-Gharib wasn't anything unusual.
We are violating the very policy we tried so hard to acquire in the Geneva Convention after WWII.
As Senator John McCain eloquently put it, "This isn't about who they are. This is about who we are. These are the values that distinguish us from our enemies."
What values do we stand for? We no longer care about the well-being of the country, because it all seems hopeless. Nothing we do will change what's going on in Washington. But we are the hope for the future.
By ignoring the news and not caring about what's going on in our nation, we are simply empowering the corrupt politicians who put us in this miserable position in the first place.
The less we know, the less equipped we are to bring our country back to what it stands for.
My ancestors challenged the British to ensure that I could grow up in a free country.
It is our responsibility to pay attention to the issues now so that when next year, an election year, rolls around, we take advantage of the rights we have and elect people who will truly represent our values and secure our future.
My parents protested and marched on Washington so I'd grow up in a country of equality.
My two grandfathers fought in WWII in the hopes that I could grow up in a safe country.
This is your wake-up call.
Our future is at stake. Good night, and you stay classy, KU.
I sat around and watched The Daily Show.

Don't confuse myths and science
I would like to compliment Dustin Elliott, a biochemistry major who hails from Overland Park, on being a stunning example of the type of student that will be produced by Kansas schools if science curricula fail to teach the scientific method and instead succumb to the confusion between true science and mythological musings.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In his Nov. 7 article, Elliott correctly states that our understanding of evolution is shaped by the formation and testing of hypotheses.
Further, he misunderstands basic evolutionary biology. He presents microevolution and macroevolution as competing theories by supporting one and attempting to refute the other.
his own intelligent design "hypothesis" to the same standards, accepting it as "a plausible explanation" of the origins of life on Earth without requiring it to be evaluated by any of the observational and experimental methods employed by true scientists.
These two realms of evolutionary biology differ in the
time scales at which they investigate evolution, but they go hand-in-hand by linking things like genetic variability and natural selection with processes such as speciation and extinction.
Elliott has glossed over the resounding evidence that supports both micro- and macroevolution while he confuses creation stories with good science.

Katie Horner sits visibly at a big wooden desk in Oliver Hall. In the span of a few minutes, seven people will have approached her wanting help in some form or another; a person delivering flowers, a group of freshmen wanting to see a bus schedule, another group wanting their student IDs back from the previous night.
Horner must find a solution to all their problems because it is her job. Horner, Galena sophomore, is a resident assistant. She is a mentor, rule enforcer and all-around go-to person for 38 women on the 7th floor of Oliver Hall.

Once a week Horner has night rounds. Beginning at 9 p.m., she begins on the top floor of Oliver and slowly makes her way down to the bottom floor, while stopping to talk with residents to make sure everything is secure.

must be ready for her day duty. That means preparing for class while making trips up and down stairs to help residents who have been locked out of their rooms or to handle maintenance issues. Her day duty begins the hour before she goes to classes.
After day duty and classes, Horner makes her way back to Oliver where she has desk duty, which involves a few hours of answering phones, sorting mail, organizing documentation slips and directing students and visitors to what they need or where they need to go.

Points for good behavior
The KU football team is coming off its two biggest victories since Mark Mangino was hired four years ago and is one victory away from bowl eligibility.
But what is most impressive about this group of guys is how they have respected the coaches, the organization and each other by staying out of trouble off the field — a problem that had been growing in KU Athletics.
Much of the credit for the team's recent good behavior goes to Mangino for developing such a good bond with his players, but he should be commended for making the difficult decision back in March to kick former running back John Randle off the team.
J. R. Giddens' altercation at the Moon Bar in May and Bruce Ringwood's fight at a Kenny Chesney concert in August brought criticism to the whole athletics program.
PAGE 1B
Randle was arrested for the fourth time after getting into a fight on March 13. Two days later, Mangino had enough of the extra baggage and dismissed Randle from the team.
Yes, the name John Randle is merely dust in the wind around these parts these days. He's been forgotten completely.
He chose to get rid of a player with huge offensive potential, a player who elevated Kansas to its biggest victory of the 2004 season at homecoming against Kansas State. Randle had a lot of talent and possibly could have been a huge help to this program, but Mangino decided that didn't matter.
Another example involves the Philadelphia Eagles and Terrell Owens. The organization suspended one of the best football players for conduct detrimental to the team. They are admirably sending Owens home for bone-headed comments to the media about his contract and, most recently, about how the team would be better with Brett Favre as quarterback.
It's a shame to see players with talent give it all up because they can't behave in an orderly fashion, and it's a problem that's becoming more common.
Sophomore running back Jon Cornish stepped in this season and helped KU fans forget about Randle by making the most of his opportunity. And don't forget about Gary Green II, the redshirt freshman who is waiting to show what he can do.
Both are examples of poison for a team. Give credit to Eagles coach Andy Reid and Mangino, who have the spines to take action on this type of player.
The situations aren't identical, but they do have similarities. While John Randle's ability to get along with his teammates was never a question, his presence in the media for negative reasons was. Owens is a poor teammate who mouths off to the press just for attention, and John Randle got arrested repeatedly and spent some nights in jail.
As for Kansas, the running game hasn't missed a beat. Senior running back Clark Green has played excellently in the past two weeks.
It doesn't matter how much talent you have in sports. If you aren't going to act respectfully off the field, you run the risk of getting suspended or dismissed. Anyone can be replaced.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Big stage debut
Season begins with tonight's exhibition

KANSAN SEIHOR.SPORTSWITTER
Russell Robinson chuckles when he talks about his roommate Micah Downs' first game in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I know Micah's first shot is going to be an air ball," the sophomore guard laughed. "He will be so nervous."
Downs, along with his three freshmen counterparts, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, will make his debut in a Kansas uniform as Kansas opens its exhibition season against Fort Hays State at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. Despite playing in big games in
high school and the McDonald's All-American game, Downs and the other freshmen know it will be a nerve-racking experience to take the court in the Fieldhouse for the first time.
"I'm already nervous." Downs said Monday before practice. "I mean, we played in front of some big crowds in some tournaments and stuff, but I don't think I've ever played in front of 16,000."
Downs isn't the only one who might be shaking in his Adidas' tonight. Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said Rush was so nervous before Late Night that he was relieved to find out he wasn't starting.
"We picked starting line-ups at Late Night by flipping a coin, and he called it," Self said. "When lost he went 'yeah' because he was so nervous."

Jeremy Case feels like it has been forever since he played in a basketball game. The sophomore guard from Oklahoma City took a redshirt last season and played
in a reserve role his freshman year, making this the first season he could contribute to the team.
So, as the days crawled by, Case said today's game couldn't come soon enough. He has put on a practice Jersey every day for the past three years and played only mop-up minutes
during game situations.
There are seven guards in the Kansas backcourt who have the potential to be successful at their positions, so Case knows the competition for minutes will be intense. But with so many young players, he is one of the veterans — an element that he thinks will help squeeze him into the rotation.
"I am extremely anxious," Case said. "I might even be a little nervous since it's been so long since I played in a game."
"I feel like I have a chance to get a lot of time," Case said. "I plan on that. I just work hard and show that I can be a leader and help the young guys out, and I think I could really help the team."
During his redshirt year, Case said watching former players like Keith Langford and Aaron Miles helped him better understand the leadership role. He also hit the weight room, put on 10 pounds and spent a lot of time in the gym working on his shot. Case and his teammates went home for only two weeks during the summer, and spent the rest of their time off school in Lawrence, participating in individual workouts with their coaches.
Case said he felt like his shooting ability and defensive tenacity would be his ticket on the court this season. Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self agreed, saying if Case played his
cards right, he could have the chance to help the lajwhaws.
"He is our best shooter on our team, easily the best shooter as far as a perimeter shooter, and if he continues to work and get stronger and get better defensively, he can be a guy that can make a team a lot better because he brings a dimension to the game that other teams are going to have to guard," Self said. "He is a much-improved guy. The biggest thing is his strength because his redshirt year really helped him."
Self wants to make the Jayhawks play a faster game with more defensive pressure, which could be to Case's advantage. Defensively, the Jayhawks will apply more full-court pressure to their opponents, an effort to utilize their quickness.
"We are going to do a lot of full-court press," Case said. "And you know, I've got to be able to guard my man 94 feet."
Right now, neither Self nor the players know who will fill the Kansas rotation. Self said that in a perfect world, he would like to play with nine players — four big men and five guards.
He said that if they played at the up-tempo pace he hoped for, players would be fatigued after 20 or 25 minutes. Case said he was looking forward to playing this new, fast-paced style because it fit his game perfectly.
"As of right now, we have a
lot of depth, a lot of guys that play the same position. So that is one key that is going to help us be able to play quick," Case said. "If somebody gets tired, somebody else can come right in and play. That is how I think I am going to be able to come in and contribute."
Self wants Case to contribute in another way as well. With few candidates to step up as leaders on this team, the Jayhawks would need Case to fill one of the leadership roles.
"I think that Jeremy and Russell and J-Hawk and Christian are the best candidates for that leadership role," Self said. "And I'd say they are all 25 percent of what they could potentially be. It is unfair, though, to say that they are more than that because right now they don't know what their roles are going to be either. I think it is much easier to be a leader if you are totally secure with where you are on that particular team."
Although no one really knows his role yet on this team, Case said he would do whatever he could to help the Javahawks.
"We all just need to work together and figure out what it is going to take, as a team, for us to win," Case said. "As far as an individual standpoint goes, I am going to do whatever coach asks of me and whatever is good for the team."

'Hawks up in arms over Sooners
Kansas faces Oklahoma with NCAA hopes
BY MATT WILSON
mwilson@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansan file photo
Kansas kept its paper-thin postseason hopes alive by defeating Kansas State on Saturday night. That victory, however, will mean little if the Jayhawks don't follow it up with a victory tonight in their game against the Sooners.
Junior outside hitter Megan Hill, who has come on strong in the past two weeks after replacing injured junior Jana Correa, said the Jayhawks had to win tonight to make the NCAA tournament.
"It's not really a question," Hill said. "We don't have any more matches that we can take for granted. I still believe that we have a chance."
Kansas has five matches left on its schedule. Last year's team finished the Big 12 season with a 9-11 record and qualified for the NCAA tournament. Repeating that feat will be difficult this year, considering it has road matches against Texas A&M and Iowa State, as well as home tilts against Texas Tech and Missouri.
Kansas (13-11, 5-10 Big 12) should be confident going into the match against Oklahoma. Not only have the Jayhawks ended their eight-match losing streak, but they are facing a team that is 1-14 in Big 12 play and 6-18 overall.
Still, Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said that defeating Oklahoma would take the kind of concentration the Jayhawks displayed in Manhattan.
"We have to move on from that match and focus on this one," Bechard said. "Oklahoma's record is a little bit deceiving."
The Sooners have struggled this season. They are four games away from
the 10th-place team in the loss column, and they have five matches left. Barring an impressive rally to close out the year, Oklahoma will finish last in the Big 12 for the second time in the past three seasons.
On top of that, the Sooners have not defeated the Jayhawks since the 2001 season. Kansas has been 14-1 against Oklahoma since Bechard took over the program in 1998.
That said, the Sooners pushed the Jayhawks to the limit in their previous meeting in September. At the time, Kansas was 9-1 and undefeated on its home floor, yet Oklahoma led 2-1 before dropping the last two frames and losing the match.
Hill, who didn't play in the Jayhawks' victorious game against the Sooners in Lawrence, said she thought the match would be tough and the Sooners had the respect of her team.
"We'll definitely see a different team than we saw the last time," Hill said. "We have to come out knowing that we're going to win the match, no matter what it takes."
Bechard said he expected another tough road test.
"It's always a difficult situation on the road," he said. "This match will be no different. They've had some problems, but they were tough last time we saw them."
Hill said she expected the victory against the Wildcats last weekend to be the one that got the Jayhawks rolling in the right direction.
"I think it was exactly what we needed to pull our heads out of the water," she said. "We know that we can do it. It's not too late."

Kevin Na, of Korea, tees off from the 5th tee box during the Tommy Bahama Challenge on Tuesday at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The one-day tournament matched four U.S. players against four international players in four individual stroke-play matches. The tournament is limited to players of age 30 or younger.
Self said of all the freshmen, Rush might be under the most pressure tonight, simply because his last name is Rush. His oldest brother, Kareem, plays in the NBA for the Los Angeles Lakers, while his older brother, jaRon, played at UCLA.

The Jay hawks might have flipped
through all the other stuff the other freshman are going through." Self said. "He is just a kid getting ready to play his first college game, but because his last name is Rush people just assume that he's already done all this and all that."
He warned media members and fans not to get "hung up" on the starters early in the season because they would change frequently.
Self said.
"We may change starters because a guy is late to practice or because of a better match-up," Self said.
On Monday, Self indicated Robinson and sophomore forward C.J. Giles had been the

best at their positions. He said they had a great chance to start the game. The rest still hasn't been revealed, and Self said he probably wouldn't choose his starters until ontight at the shoot-around.
"Hawk had been the best, but the last 10 days or so Mario has been the best." Self said.
Regardless of who opens the first exhibition game for the Jayhawks, Self said one of the most important things about tonight's game would be to break the ice for the freshmen and get them loosened up.
He said that either senior guard Jeff Hawkins or

He also said it would be good for his team to play against a different opponent.
"Sometimes you get a false sense of who you are because you know the guys' strengths and weaknesses," Self said. "Against Fort Hays, these guys won't know the opponents' strengths and weaknesses, so we will have to play heads up and probably be made not to look so good at times because they will be throwing modes at them that they have never seen."
Notes:
Self said that as of right now, he didn't think any of his players would take a redshirt for the season. A new NCAA rule, however, allows players to participate in exhibition games and still take a redshirt as long as they don't play in a regular season game.

"Not like we are going to do that," Self said. "It is just the new rule."

Senior linebacker Nick Reid tackles Colorado sophomore Alvin Barnett during the game in Boulder, Colo., this season. Reid and the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, this weekend to take on the No. 2 Longhorns. Reid is seeking redemption for a missed tackle that led to a last minute comeback by Texas during the game last year at Memorial Stadium.
Loss to Texas haunts Reid
BY RYAN COLAIANNI rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STUFF WRITER
Kansas certainly remembers what happened when it lost to Texas in the final seconds last season.
Senior linebacker Nick Reid graphically remembers the 4th and 18, late in the fourth quarter, when he missed a tackle on Texas quarterback Vince Young. Missing that tackle let Young rush for the first down and keep the drive going, which led to the game-winning touchdown.
"I think we all know what play stands out to me," Reid said. "I have thought about this game probably 1,000 times since last year. It stings thinking about it right now. Luckily we have a chance this year to go down there and do something about it."
Kansas is using last year's loss as motivation for this Saturday's game in Austin, Texas.
best and see what happens."
"We should have got them last year," Reid said. "We are just going to go down there and do our
Reid and Young were talking to each other the entire game, but Reid said Young didn't have anything to say to him after he broke the tackle.
"After that play, he was so far down field he really couldn't say anything to me." Reid said. "He beat me pretty good."
The play nearly didn't happen. If junior wide receiver Charles Gordon was not flagged for offensive pass interference, that completion would have given Kansas a first down and the Jayhawks could have run the clock out with a fresh set of downs.
Mangino was surprised that Texas was using his comments for motivation.
Mangino criticized the referees after the game for their offensive pass interference call against Gordon. Mangino implied that the referees were thinking about the Bowl Championship Series and gave Texas the call to help it get into the BCS.
Young told reporters Monday in Austin he was upset about Mangino's comments following Texas' 27-23 victory.
Mangino retracted his comments hours after the game but still received a $5,000 fine from the Big 12 Conference.
"If you are the best team in America and you are looking for motivation, maybe we have got a chance Saturday." Mangino said.
Mangino announced that senior defensive end Charlton Keith was named defensive player of the week for Kansas. The offensive player of the week was senior running back Clark Green. Senior cornerback Ronie Amadi was named special teams player of the week.
Extra Points:
- Gordon was also named a semifinalist for the 2005 Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nation's top defensive back.

KANSAN SPORTWRITER
Rvlan Howo/KANSAN
Bonnie Henrickson needed to find a point guard capable of playing Big 12 Conference basketball when she came to Kansas.
Instead of finding one, she found two.
Freshman Ivana Catic and junior Shaquina Mosley played significant minutes at the position during Sunday's 90-65 exhibition victory against Pittsburg State.
"I liked what I saw," said Henrickson, Kansas women's basketball coach, "Those two kids handled the majority of the ball-handling responsibilities and had only two turnovers."
Catic was the only one of Kansas' five freshmen to earn a spot in the starting lineup. She justified Henrickson's decision just minutes into the game when she stole the ball and went the length of the court.
"I was really focused on my game assignments," Catic said. "That's the style we want to play."
Henrickson said it was the first time she remembered allowing first-year players to call plays.
"They've earned that opportunity practicing and right now have proven to be pretty good decision makers," Henrickson said.
The 90-point total was Kansas' biggest in two years.
When both players were in the game at the same time, Moslev moved to shooting guard.
"You can tell right now Ivana is more of a true point guard," Henrickson said.
ing guard, because it allowed her to penetrate more, to make moves to the basket and to try to score.
"It is nice to have the luxury of being able to play Shaq at both of those positions."
Last year, Mosley won the national Junior College/Community College Player of the Year award as a point guard, but had to adjust to playing a second position.
The results were mostly good, as she scored 13 points. Still, Henrickson would like Mosley to try to create more baskets.
"I think we can get her to be a little more aggressive, but I think she is trying to run the offense right now," Henrickson said.
Both players seemed to be at ease with the play-calling system,
yelling out instructions to their teammates and setting up plays
Henrickson said the next step was for the team to improve its defense. The team has worked on trapping opponents to create turnovers.
Mosley will continue to split time between the two positions.
"Bonnie probably sees something in me that I don't," Mosley said.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
A running start Fans support 'Hawks in opener
BY RYAN COLIAanni
rcoliaanni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The walls of Allen Fieldhouse reverberated with the chant, "Let's go Jayhawks" Wednesday night, minutes before the tip-off of the first men's basketball exhibition game of the season
Despite this game being an exhibition, fans treated it like any other at Allen Fieldhouse.
Eric Nevels, Topeka freshman, was in a group of about 20 students that took up the entire first row in the east student section.
Nevels said his group was the first to
enter the fieldhouse Wednesday afternoon.
The group began camping at 6 Wednesday morning. Nevels wanted to make sure he had great seats for his first game in the student section.
"It's crazy and a whole lot of fun." Nevels said.
Sophomores Austin Hayden and Chase Ketchum have been camping out for basketball games since last season. They, too, arrived Wednesday morning just before 6 to get in line.
"No matter what, we are going to camp out," Hayden said. "We have been through everything. We have sat outside in the snow."
Hayden and Ketchum's group was fourth in line, and when the doors opened Wednesday afternoon, the group sprinted to the west side of the student section to get front row seats.
It was also the first game for freshmen on the Kansas basketball team. Forward Brandon Rush said he wasn't even able to take a nap before the game because he was filled with anticipation.
"I was nervous at first. I couldn't just focus for some reason. My hands were sweating, everything," Rush said. "I was feeling terrible out there. After a while I got kind of used to it."

SAFETY
ARE YOU afraid of the DARK?
By Frank Tankard ftankard@kansan.com ♥ KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kylie Battaglia, Tulsa senior, walks home from Watson library on Sunflower Road. Although most of the main streets on campus provide students with ample light to make them feel safe at night, streets at the edges of campus are not always as well-lit.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN
For some walk home not a bright experience
Pick a night and walk up the hill on Louisiana Street between 17th Street and Summyside Avenue. The hill is steep. The sidewalk is uneven. About a quarter of the way up, a set of six stair steps abruptly interrupts the sidewalk.
It's a difficult walk. The reason: You can barely see your hand in front of your face. The lights at each end of the long block aren't bright enough to overcome the shadows cast by trees and bushes that line the sidewalk.
Emma Carter, Lawrence second-year law student, walks home from campus this way, sometimes at night. Unless a couple of houses along the street turn on their walkway lights, it's near pitch black.
"It's spooky," she said.
The lack of lighting Carter has to deal with wouldn't pass on campus, where regulations are fairly strict. Step off campus, and the streets are darker.
"Anytime there's a university within a larger community, there's always an issue with lighting," said Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. "Campuses tend to be much more observant to make sure campus is accessible and lighting is a priority."

MULTICULTURALISM
African-American conference returns
BY MALINDA OSBORNE
mosborne@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
RJ Landers says that when he deals with professors who don't have a lot of experience with minorities, relating to one another can be difficult.
Landers, an African American and St. Louis sophomore, said he has had experiences where he felt teachers didn't expect as much from him or couldn't relate to him because he was a minority.
That's why Landers said he looked forward to interacting with the speakers at this week's "Am I My Brother's Keeper" Collegiate African-American Male Leadership Conference, which starts today.
Prominent African-American business leaders, professors and administrators will speak to a group of 300 students from across the country who will gather at the University of Kansas for the second annual event.
Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, created the conference. He said the event was about responsibility and accountability at both the individual and community levels.
Today through Saturday, the conference will feature workshops and activities that focus on student leadership, community involvement and personal discovery. The conference is open to any African-American male student.
Jabraan Pasha, Tulsa, Okla., junior, said his experience with the conference last year made an enduring impression on him. Pasha served as the student conference chairman.
He said the event inspired him to start a student organization called Black Men of Today that focuses on volunteering in the community.

Withdrawal changes considered
BY JOHN JORDAN
jordan@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
ENROLLMENT
Students will need to make up their minds earlier to drop a class if a recommended policy proposal is approved.
The Academic Policies and Procedures Committee is recommending that students no longer be allowed to drop a class after 60 academic days have passed and that an automatic "WP" or a "WF" be assigned to students who drop classes after the initial drop period.
The recommendation would still allow students to drop a class within in the first 15 academic days of the semester without a penalty on their transcripts.
From 15 until 60 academic days after the start of the semester, a student who drops will receive a "WP" for withdrawing while passing the class or a "WF" for withdrawing while
WITHDRAWAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended changes to the course withdrawal policy:
- Students can drop a class in the first 15 academic days without penalty. This is the same as the current policy.
- Students who drop between the 16th and 60th academic days will receive either a “WP” or a “WF” from the instructor, depending on if the student is
passing or failing the class. The "WP" or "WF" will not affect the student's GPA.The current policy only assigns a "W" if a student drops a course.
- Students cannot drop a course after the 60th academic day. Currently, a student can drop a class until the last day of the course with the instructor's signature.

falling. Although the "WP" or "WF" won't affect the student's grade point average, it will allow whoever sees the student's transcript to know how the student was doing when he dropped.
In comparison, this semester in the College of Liberal Arts and most other undergraduate schools, students who dropped from Sept. 8 until Oct. 26 automatically received a "W." From Oct. 27 until the last day of class, the
student will receive either a "W" or an "F" at the discretion of the student's instructor.
The policy will be discussed by the University Council at a meeting today at 3:30 p.m. and will be voted on Dec. 1. The council is made up of 39 faculty, 12 students and six University staff members.

STUDENT HOUSING
Play carries on artistic tradition
BY LOUIS MORA
lmora@kansan.com
KANSAN STUDIER WRITER
A group of students are making sure the spirit of the performing arts doesn't die in the residence halls by preparing for the first "McHash" play.
Hashinger Hall, which is closed for renovations, has traditionally been the artistic center for the residence halls. Displaced students from Hashinger have taken residence on the second and third floors of McCollum Hall, an area dubbed "Home Away from Hash," and have refused to abandon Hashinger's tradition of performing plays. Even with no theater to practice in, residents from Home Away from Hash and other McCollum residents are preparing to perform the play, "Marcus is Walking: Scenes from the Road."
The McHash play will take the stage Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.
Diana Hall, Horton senior, was president of Hashinger Hall last year and lives in Home Away from Hash. She said students had been performing plays in Hashinger since the inception of the hall.
She said seeing that tradition continue allowed students to understand the environment of Hashinger. If this tradition
isn't kept alive, Hall said, students would not know what to expect when the hall reopened next fall.
Without access to the Hashinger Hall Theater, the students are using a small room on the second floor of McCollum to practice.
Emma Matthews, St. Louis, Mo., freshman, said the compact practice area has made it difficult to get things accomplished.
"It's easier to get distracted in a small room because we are all cramped in there," she said.
The idea for the performance was announced two weeks ago, and in that time the students had to pick a play, learn lines and design the costumes and set. The group looked for involvement from students outside the Home Away from Hash floors to broaden the spirit of the fine arts
in the residence halls.
John Woosley, Dallas freshman and director, said it was easy for him to get involved because he's created several films and is interested in fine arts.
Hall said transferring the fine arts atmosphere to McCollum and involving its residents was important because there were students living in McCollum who enjoy the arts.
She said the hard part was
letting interested students know that opportunities to participate in the performing arts were available to them.
The fact that all the participants live in the same hall has made it easier to prepare, Woosley said. When he needs to change a rehearsal time it's as simple as knocking on doors, he said.
He said the group has had two-hour rehearsals every night in preparation for the performances. He said the actors were dedicated to putting on a good show.
The play has allowed residents to try something new. Matthews said she had been exposed to the arts and thought performing would be fun but had never tried her hand at acting.
She said participating in the play allowed her to do something she'd always wanted to do and provided her with an opportunity to get involved.
"It gives me something to do instead of sitting down and doing my homework, which is boring," she said.
Those involved said they wanted to generate further interest among hall residents so participation would be greater for a production next semester
Tickets for "Marcus is Walking: Scenes from the Road" are free and can be picked up in the SUA box office.

Lawmakers propose taxing sexually oriented businesses
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas lawmakers might get a chance next year to weigh on whether there should be a special tax on sexually oriented businesses.
The Special Committee on Assessment and Taxation agreed Wednesday to come up with a bill modeled after proposals in Utah and Oklahoma to place a 10 percent tax on products and services sold by the businesses.
Rep. Kenny Wilk, R-Lansing, the vice chairman, said the panel decided to go forward with the proposal because of testimony it heard last month about reported connections between such businesses and sex crimes. He said the tax would raise about $1.5 million annually.
"It's not intended to drive them out of business. It's intended to cover the costs involved in sex crimes," said Rep. Sheri Weber, who supports the bill.
tax the businesses, then the emphasis could shift to taxing the merchandise. He said questions of what qualifies as a sexually oriented business or merchandise would have to be worked out.
Wilk said if legal concerns were raised in crafting the bill to
The proposal is the brainchild of Phil Cosby of Abilene, who has been waging a battle for the past two years against adult stores around the state.
Weber, R-Herington, predicted "a significant amount of support" among lawmakers after the Legislature convenes Jan. 9. She said many who have vowed not to raise taxes would support the proposal because they "will see the bill as having greater overriding public interest than not raising taxes."
"I'm very pleased although I think the percentage should go up to 25 percent," said Cosby, who attended the meeting. "This tax is directly related to the negative effects of pornographic material."
Not everyone agrees there's a link between such businesses and sex crimes.
John Ivan, an attorney representing three adult stores in Wichita, told the committee last month the proposal was of questionable constitutionality because it could result in adult stores being taxed while other stores selling the same material wouldn't be taxed.
He also said there were contradictory and inconclusive findings on the question of whether sexually oriented materials were tied to sex crimes.
Last year, Utah imposed a 10 percent tax on admission fees, sales, food and drinks at sexually oriented businesses and a tax on escort services equal to 10 percent of the amount charged. The law is being challenged in state court.
"I don't care if they are in court. If the Legislature wants to draft a bill, we will draft a bill." Wilk said. "Laws are presumed constitutional so whatever we pass will go on the books."
Earlier this year, the Oklahoma House approved a similar proposal. It stalled in the Senate but will be around for the 2006 session.

Partnership forms for drug development
HEALTH

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
INSTITUTE PARTNERS
The University of Kansas has joined 11 other universities to research the drug-development process in hopes of lowering the price tag and the time involved in manufacturing drugs.
The new National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education, which formed on Nov. 3, is led by Charles Rutledge, vice president for research at Purdue University, KU alumnus and a former KU professor.
Karen Mahoney, spokesperson for the FDA, said that any changes pharmaceutical companies made to FDA-approved drugs had to be reviewed. To make a change, a company has to turn in an application explaining the changes so the FDA can see that the drug still serves its intended purpose. That process takes time.
Gurvich said the companies were afraid to make changes because the FDA process took so long. He said the only way to improve the process was for companies to work together with the FDA. He said the institute would help by making new technologies,
Member universities of the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education:
The need for cheaper and faster drug development is clear. Getting a drug to the market can take 10 to 15 years and cost as much as $2 billion, said Vadim Gurvich, assistant director of the KU Center for Drug Discovery and associate director of the Institute.

which could translate into lower costs, available to every company.
Mahoney said the FDA intended to do away with the applications for change with the help of the institute's research. She said she hoped the research would cut down on time.
Getting a drug to the market takes so long because pharmaceutical companies use a trial-and-error approach, Gurvich said. He said the chemical reactions used to make drugs rely on specific conditions, such as the temperature at which the drug worked best.
He said the companies tested a wide range of variables and needed to narrow that range to produce drugs faster.
Gurvich said the Institute hoped to change the old-fashioned approach for testing drug quality, which was to make the drug and then analyze it when it's finished. The institute wants to find ways to analyze the drug throughout the process so the manufacturer can make changes

The institute has plans to develop drug-modeling tools like those the aerospace industry uses, Gurvich said. He said aerospace scientists designed planes on computers because they had tools to predict how all the parts would behave.
during development.
"Ideally, we want to learn so much about processes during manufacturing that we can model them on computers. It's a long shot but not impossible."
Gurvich said that would require a combination of different scientific expertise.
"Twelve universities can do this," he said.
Rutledge said the universities would collaborate through a board of directors. Most of the funding for the institute was from Purdue, but each University involved would contribute $7,500, he said. The institute will seek federal funding it hopes will be authorized by the end of this year.

On campus, brighter whiter lights are used and lighting engineers follow the guidelines of the Illuminating Engineering Society, which mandate a minimum level of lighting for all parts of campus, from parking lots to doorsteps.
Off campus, the city ordinance calls for street lights at every street intersection and cul-de-sac, which sometimes don't illuminate areas in the middle of long blocks.
Chuck Soules, Lawrence Public Works director, said the city works to install lighting in problem areas when possible, but cost is often a factor.
The city spends $500,000 a year on electricity for street lights, which leaves little extra money to install more lights.
Issues other than making streets bright for students also come into play. While generally no one complains about extra light ing on campus, off-campus residents often don't want more lights shining in their living rooms.

French riot police check the identity papers of two young men in white hooded tops as they patrol a housing complex of Cenon, near Bordeaux, southwestern France, late Wednesday. The government toughened its stance against those involved in France's worst civil unrest since its 1968 student riots. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said local officials have been told to deport the 120 foreigners convicted so far for their roles in the violence.

France reacts to curb stretch of civil unrest
BY JOCELYN GECKER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — The French Riviera cities of Nice and Cannes, best known for the glitz and film festivals that attract Hollywood stars, were among areas that imposed curfews for minors Wednesday even as rioting abated.
The government toughened its stance against those involved in France's worst civil unrest since its 1968 student riots. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said local officials have been told to deport the 120 foreigners convicted so far for their roles in the violence.
Although rioting persisted in some places for a 13th night, car burnings fell by nearly half and reports of violence dropped. Nonetheless, looters and vandals defied a state of emergency imposed by the government Tuesday, with attacks on superstores in northern France and a newspaper warehouse and a subway station in the south.
The 12-day state of emergency went into effect midnight Tuesday. For much of France
New arson attacks broke out Wednesday evening in the southern city of Toulouse, which was hit earlier this week. Vandals set four cars ablaze and rammed a burning car into a primary school, damaging its entrance, the local government said.
— including Paris — it had no perceptible effect. That such extraordinary measures were needed, however, has fueled national introspection about the country's failure to integrate its African and Muslim minorities — seen as a key reason behind the rioting.
The decree paved the way for possible curfews in Paris, the surrounding communities and more than 30 other cities and towns nationwide if officials feel they are needed. By Wednesday evening, only a few municipalities and regions imposed them; Paris had not.
In Nice, Cannes and 19 other towns in the Riviera region known as Alpes-Maritimes, including the resort of Antibes, minors are forbidden from being outdoors between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. without adult supervision. Certain bars in Nice were ordered closed during those hours for 10 days.
There have been no direct clashes between youths and police in the Riviera but unrest that began in the area Friday had persisted in some towns for four nights.
Arsonists struck a warehouse used by Nice-Matin newspaper
in the town of Grasse, national police spokesman Patrick Reydey said. A total of 161 cars have been burned — about half in the Nice area — and nine buildings damaged across the Riviera region.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who previously inflamed passions by referring to trouble-makers as "scum," said 120 foreigners have been convicted for roles in the violence.
"I have asked regional prefects to expel foreigners who were convicted — whether they have proper residency papers or not — without delay," he said.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Improve College Republican's Re-publicity
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2005
PAGE 5A
Just to recap, the Kansan allowed Stacy to publicize the event under the guise of an opinion piece and then ran a full story with a photo on the Senator's visit.
I couldn't believe it the other day, but I actually agreed with Sarah Stacy. I was initially puzzled why a woman as liberated as herself needed to use so much innuendo to make her article interesting, but what was even more intriguing was that she complained about The University Daily Kansan's coverage of political events on campus.
Now, contrast this treatment with how speakers sponsored by the KU College Republicans have been handled, which consists of absolutely no coverage by the Kansan so far whatsoever.
Although I think she is right the Kansan could have done more on the recent visit of Sen. Joe Biden, I wonder if Stacy realizes how lucky the KU Young Dems were that their event got covered at all.
JOSHUA GOETTING opinion@kansan.com
One might think that this is because KUCR hasn't had any notable speakers on campus this semester, and they could be forgiven for thinking this because the Kansan hasn't publicized, let alone covered anything that KUCR has done.
But, just to let everyone know, this year KUCR has had many guest speakers including local radio personality Jerry Agar, Speaker of the Kansas House of Representatives and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mays and Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburg in addition to many others.
Most of you would probably also be surprised to realize that U.S. Congressman Jim Ryun has also recently
visited campus. Even though his visit received mention in the Lawrence Journal-World, this event didn't even make the "On Campus" section of the Kansan, let alone get its own story.
I'M ON TO YOUR BUSH

MONSTER!!!
IF THE KANSAN WON'T

THEN I WILL!!!
POOF!
IF THE KANSAN WON'T TELL YOU WHERE TO MEET REPUBLICANS - THEN I WILL!!
Publicizing well-known speakers like these as much as possible should be a top priority for the Kansan because it improves the reputation of the University and thereby makes every diploma earned here more valuable.
Despite this, the Kansan has continued to ignore important events, with the latest omission occurring last Tuesday when Mathew Dowd visited campus.
Most people probably don't immediately recognize Dowd by name, but in the 2004 election, he was President Bush's top pollster and most important strategist besides Karl Rove.
Although this event did get a line in the UDK but this was probably only because of the fact
POOF
that his visit was co-sponsored by the Dole Institute — it was not at all covered by the Kansan.
WHAT?
That's right, not at all, even though it was mentioned in the Kansas City media and covered with an entire article in the Journal-World.
Instead of any type of article, the event only made it onto the Kansan's Web site as a photo with a caption because a KUCR member personally took photos and submitted them for publication.
This is even more shocking when one realizes that the audience that Sen. Biden actually spoke to, as reported by the Kansan, was "about 75 people" while the Dowd visit, which didn't have nearly as much publicity through campus media, drew over 200 people into the Dole Institute.
Seth Bundy/KANSAN
The Kansan has tried to excuse its failure to report certain events by saying that it hasn't heard of some of the KUCR sponsored speakers, and in some cases, they can't be faulted, but when it comes to influential state politicians and people who are active in top-
echelon national politics such as Mr. Dowd and Rep. Ryun, their excuse just doesn't wash.
Instead of just covering the events that they support (like every single thing having to do with gay pride or diversity), maybe the editors at the UDK should actually cover all of the events that make news and enhance the reputation of the University.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Rights derived from humans
No human being has an inalienable right to life beyond the extent to which a governing force grants said human being the right to life. In the United States, most people believe unborn human fetuses, while certainly alive, have no right to self-determination.
They rely exclusively on the mother for support and, without such support, would perish from existence. A human fetus develops into a full-fledged human by the grace of its mother. The issue with abortion doesn't rest with questioning whether a fetus qualifies as a life form or a human being. It lies with the extent to which a government has the right to make personal and invasive medical decisions for individuals within its territorial borders.
The rhetoric on both sides of the debate has made a very simple issue unnecessarily complex. Despite Andrew Soukup's fundamentalist Christian logic, human beings do not possess inalienable rights, certainly not rights derived from some fictitious deity.
Dr. Paul Mirecki, chair of the University's department of religious studies, offered the statement: "The concept of human rights is basically a modern idea coming out of the liberal social movements of the 1960s, and to impress that modern idea back on to an ancient, Near Eastern religion like Christianity is methodologically suspect and anachronistic. Ancient people never had the concept of civil rights like we do, civil rights were for elites, not common people."
Soukup is creating God in his own image, seeing God as believing everything he believes politically, in an attempt to determine who has rights and who doesn't have rights. Instead of stepping up to the plate, he's
"For a person to claim that rights come from a deity not only displays a complete lack of historical understanding and distortion, but likewise insults the very people who fought tirelessly to establish rights and freedoms in America."
putting it back onto God.
It's interesting that the ideas of God are coincidentally identical to his own."Assuming our rights come from "God" or whatever particular god(s) someone believes in, one naturally expects to find free speech, press, assembly, self-determination and others completely prevalent throughout the Western world.
In fact, a rudimentary understanding of history tells a completely different story. For more than 1,700 years, most Christian countries were little more than theocratic monarchies, where any rights Americans enjoy today simply didn't exist.The facts speak for themselves: the American Constitution, not some deity, does in fact provide the rights we enjoy. Fundamentalist Christians would do well to take classes from the department of religious studies, where they will learn that the very notion of representative democracy and inalienable rights
would have been appalling to Jesus, who was an absolute monarchist.
Religions may start with the best intentions, but they almost always end up promoting a ruling class, and Christianity provides an excellent example. During the theocratic, absolute monarchies in the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church legitimized rulers who often ruled over people with an iron fist. Religious leaders also perpetuated inquisitions, violent crusades, witch burnings, torture and genocide.
Does this sound like a religion that makes it clear within its scriptures that human beings all enjoy certain inalienable rights? As it turns out, such a thing exists only within the secular governments in our modern world. It never existed in any Christian theocracy.
For a person to claim that rights come from a deity not only displays a complete lack of historical understanding and distortion, but likewise insults the very people who fought tirelessly to establish rights and freedoms in America. Secularists do not care what meaning other people assign their lives, as long as that meaning doesn't include constant harassment and negative actions towards others.
It's a shame fundamentalists wave the American flag with such intensity, yet fail to appreciate the actual source allowing them to freely practice their religion, a right they would gladly strip from others.

The keynote speaker of the event is Kevin Powell. Best known for his role on MTV's "Real World," he is also a journalist, political consultant and community activist. His lecture, "Beyond Bill Cosby: Bridging the Generational Gap in Black America," is open to the public. It begins at 7 tonight at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Pasha said that while the speakers imparted a lot of practical wisdom, it was the interaction with fellow collegians who wanted to do something with their lives that
"A lot of times the African-American male is portrayed in a negative light. Sometimes we bring it on ourselves, but there are also others who have goals and dreams," Pasha said.
Clayton Holmes, Topeka sophomore, will attend the conference for the first time this year. He said he looked forward to the unity the conference encouraged.
"...brothers need to stop tearing each other down. To see people worried about the same causes and who look like you ... it makes you feel better about yourself. Like you're not alone out there," Holmes said.
Holmes said that while the conference encouraged leadership and excellence, the greatest accomplishment for him would be leading a normal life.
"I just want to live my life and not worry about how people see me. My skin color shouldn't matter." Holmes said.
Other speakers this year include Tyrone Bledsoe, vice president for student life at the University of Toledo; U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, former mayor of Kansas City, Mo.; and Alonzo Jones, associate dean of student life at Arizona State University.

Amy Rossomondo, co-director of the basic language program for Spanish and Portuguese, said having a limited time to drop would help students make up their minds to get out of classes they didn't intend on staying in.
She said about 10 percent of students in language classes in the department drop late in the semester, up to the last day of class.
When these students drop, grade spreads are skewed, which leads to the appearance of grade inflation, because typically those
who drop are the students with the lowest grades, Rossomondo said.
But she said she thought changing the policy to give students WPs and WFs was not necessary.
"I don't see any need to penalize students if they drop before the end of the semester," she said.
Student Senate members on the committee say they were happy the committee didn't recommend a shorter first drop period.
and Sciences senator, is on the committee. He and another student representative came to Senate before the proposal was completely decided to urge Senate to vote in favor of not shortening the period.
He said that the committee was willing to listen to the concerns of students. There was talk of shortening the period to 10 academic days. Ladd said that would be detrimental for students taking a weekly class.
"It seemed like a drastic cut for no reason," Ladd said.

Sitting in the locker room before Kansas' 96-62 victory over Fort Hays State, Brandon Rush didn't feel so well. His nerves were in full force and he had a severe case of "bubble gut."
"I was real nervous, I had the BG. My stomach was bubbling and everything." Rush said.
It took Rush a half to get his nerves settled, but when he did the freshman forward was nearly unstoppable.
After going one for three from the floor in the first half for just two points, Rush went six of nine with 15 points in the second. In a one-minute stretch, Rush scored eight consecutive points, including a highlight where he stole the ball and drove it the length of the court for his signature reverse dunk.
"I stole the ball and felt him behind me and just reversed it and threw it down," Rush said. "Then I stared him down."
Rush also pulled down seven offensive rebounds. He said the main reason for his enlightened play in the second half was that he felt more comfortable with 20 minutes of play under his belt.

Kansas is now 14-11 overall
The Iajhawks still have to win at least three more matches to have a realistic chance of making the NCAA tournament. Their next test will come Saturday night against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Kansas volleyball team overcame a one-game deficit to win three in a row and defeated Oklahoma 3-1 in Norman, Okla., Wednesday night. The second straight Kansas road victory might have happened just in time to save the season.
"Every match is a must-win situation," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We put ourselves in that situation, but we've been in it before and responded, and I think this team is very capable of doing it again."
Senior outside hitter Paula Caten and senior middle blocker Josi Lima added 15 kills each, and Lima posted a team-high 6.5 blocks to pace the lawhaybs.
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown had one kill after the first game. She finished the match with 22. After the match, Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard expressed his satisfaction with her effort.
After losing the first game 30-27, the Jayhawks began their comeback and evened the match in game two. They led nearly the entire way and slipped past the Sooners 30-27.

Game three was all Kansas.
It fell behind early in the game.
but it stormed back and won 30-
23, grabbing a 2-1 advantage.
"She was huge tonight," he said. "She has been big for us the last couple of matches."
Kansas wrapped up the proceedings in game four with a hard-fought 30-28 victory. After recording a triple-double against Colorado just more than a week ago, senior setter Andi Rozum fell just one kill short of repeating that feat Wednesday night. She finished the match with nine kills, 10 digs and 56 assists. Junior defensive specialist Dani Wittman led Kansas with 17 digs. Three others finished in double-digits as well.
Bechard said the Jayhawks' defensive effort was the key to victory.
"We've won back to back matches on the road, and that's a sign that the team's trying to get better and not giving up," Bechard said.

BY KELIS ROBINETT
krobinett@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTWRITER
As Jason Swanson walked down Mass. Street a few hours after Kansas defeated Nebraska 40-15 Saturday, he didn't feel like a big man on campus.
The senior quarterback was dressed in the suit football players wear before every game and should have been easily spotted by the multitude of fans downtown celebrating the Jayhawks' first victory against Nebraska since 1968.
But the only people congratulating him were his girlfriend and her mom.
The lack of attention didn't surprise or bother him. He's too modest to expect superstar treatment, even after ending a 36-game losing streak to Nebraska this year and an 11-game losing streak to Kansas State last season.
"Not a lot of people know who I am without having a jersey on." Swanson said. "People don't talk to me very often on campus. I just feel like a normal student."
People might not roll out the red carpet for him now. But in coming years, he could be one of the most fondly remembered quarterbacks in Kansas' history.
Despite playing in only a handful of games, the victories he earned and the streaks he ended will forever be part of Jayhawk lore. No matter what he does the rest of his college football career, he'll be brought up whenever Jayhawk trivia is played.
"I've got one of those college trivia games asking weird off-the-wall questions." Swanson said.

With six victories in sight for coach, columnist retracts criticism
Beating either Texas or Iowa State and getting his team to a bowl game two out of the last three years would be a tremendous step for Mark Mangino and his program.
On that note, I would like to formally apologize to Mangino. I'm sorry.
To think that only a month ago, this Kansan columnist suggested that he might not be the right man for the job. Oops. On Sept. 10 I wrote, "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." Well, Mangino started winning and has a good chance of getting to six victories.
big guy. Thanks for proving me wrong. Kudos for the fantastic defense you put together.
Mangino still hasn't won many games decided by nine points or less in his career at Kansas. His record in those games is 3-10. But Mangino won't need to make the right decisions in close games to make a bowl game, because his team won't make most of its games close.
It really is a pleasure to watch those guys tackle and make the other team consistently punt the ball. It's even better when the offense doesn't give the ball right back.
Since Mangino finally found the right quarterback in senior Jason Swanson

TRAVIS ROBINETT
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
and figured out that Kansas' offensive strength was the running game, the nation's best rushing defense has been able to stay off the field and watch for more than four plays before stepping on the field again. Even better than that, the offense has actually scored five touchdowns in the last two games. That's two more than what it scored in the previous four.
Mangino already has accomplished the program's immediate goals by ending the 36-game losing streak to Nebraska, ending the 11-game losing streak to Kansas State, defeating Missouri three years in a row and making a bowl game. What more could Kansas fans ask of Mangino?
Mangino's secret for a successful team clearly isn't in-game decision making. But he is great at recruiting, making game plans and motivating his team, especially against the opponents Kansas fans really want to beat.
Four years ago, all those achievements would have been inconceivable under former coach Terry Allen. Remember the last time Kansas played at
Texas? The year was 2001, Allen had just been fired and Kansas lost 59-0. Kansas will most likely lose again this weekend, but Mangino has put together a team that has a chance, even though it's a very small one, to go into Austin, Texas, and win.
The next step for Mangino is to push the program to the point where it is getting at least six victories on an annual basis. Maybe then he and Kansas will get more respect across the country.After the last two victories, Mangino will at least get some from his own campus.

Six players commit to '06-'07 team Tuesday
Tuesday was the first day for women basketball players to sign with prospective schools for the 2006-2007 season.
The Jayhawks have up to seven scholarships to offer and received six commitments Tuesday, with a seventh expected by the end of the week.
Two local players will stay in state to play for the Jayhaws next year: Lindsay Ballweg, a guard from St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park, and Danielle McCray, a forward from Olathe East High School.
McCray is the highestranked player in the signing class and was rated as high at 30th in the nation by some recruiting services.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was also able to sign two highly touted players from Texas: Signe LaChelda Jacobs and Porsha Weddington.
Sade Morris, a forward from Norman, Okla., also signed.
The final commitment yesterday was from Kelly Kohn, a guard from Adrian, Mich.
A commitment is expected from Rebecca Feickert, a senior in Goodrich, N.D.

Season ends on a high note

Team and individual success marked the conclusion of the women's golf team's fall season.
"I'm happy with this season's results. We're a whole different team from last year."

The Jayhawks competed in five tournaments and finished in the top 10 in four of them. Individually, junior Amanda Costner placed in the top seven in four out of five tournaments, and senior Chelsey Pryor won the Oral Roberts Shootout and placed 31st or higher in every tournament.
Costner
The team made progress this fall and will continue workouts to improve in time for the spring season.
with a sixth-place finish at the Ptarmagin/Ram Fall Classic in Fort Collins, Colo., the Jayhawks improved at the Oral Roberts Invitational with a second-place finish. Kansas then placed sixth at the Marilynn Smith Invitational and eighth at the Lady Razorback Invitational. The only tournament in which the Jayhawks didn't place in the top 10 was The Derby Invitational in Auburn, Ala., where they finished 16th. Kansas also shot four sub-300 rounds in tournaments this fall, after not having a single sub-300 round last fall.
After starting the season
"I'm happy with this season's results. We're a whole different team from last year," Kansas women's golf coach Erin O'Neil said.
O'Neil said she was pleased with individual performances as well. O'Neil said Costner had a chance to be an All-American if she continued to have as much success in the spring.
After winning the Oral Roberts Shootout, Pryor had another solid showing last weekend at The Derby, finishing 16th.
"Chelsey did great in a strong field," O'Neil said. "That field was comparable to the NCAA Tournament, and we need to keep that in perspective and use it as a good motivator."
This winter, the golfers still have plenty of work to do.

The team will workout four times a week doing cardio-endurance exercises while focusing on abs and biceps. Although the women won't be on the golf
When winter's ice finally thaws, Kansas should be ready to answer spring's call to the course. The team wants to continue to finish in the top 10 at tournaments, finish in at least the top half of the Big 12 Conference and qualify for NCAA Regionals.
Kansas begins its spring season in late February in Parrish, Fla. Other spring tournaments include The "Mo" Morial and Betsy Rawls Invitational. Both tournaments are in Texas.
"Our spring schedule is favorable," O'Neill said. "The work is paying off, but we need to continue to make progress to get to where we want to be."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season because of a medical condition that was first noticed in training camp, the team said Wednesday.
It was the first time that the Chiefs acknowledged that the Oct. 30 hit during the loss at San Diego was not the sole cause of Holmes' medical problems.
Holmes to miss rest of season
The team's orthopedic surgeon and two specialists recommended that Holmes not have any hard contact for at least 30 days, team president Carl Peterson said, but the doctors did not recommend any surgery.
Holmes, 32, a three-time Pro Bowler whose 66 touchdowns between 2002-2004 are an NFL record for any three-year span, left the game after that hit and has not played since.
Television station KSHB reported Wednesday that doctors had found a lump on Holmes' spine and were concerned about possible paralysis should he take a direct hit. Citing a highly-placed source, the station said Holmes could announce his retirement as soon as Thursday.
But both the team and an employee at the firm run by Holmes' agent, Todd France, rejected suggestions that Holmes would retire because of his condition.
Injuries have caused Holmes to cut short three of the last four seasons, but he has rushed for 451 yards and six touchdowns on 119 carries. He also has catches for 197 yards, including a 60-yard for a touchdown in a victory against. Washington on Oct. 16.

Coach Bill Self yells at his players as they try to break a full-court press put on by Fort Hays State. The Jayhawks won their first exhibition game of the season Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"We had a little speech during the halftime and (coach) told us to come out and have fun," Rush said. "It was hard at first with everyone being so loud and screaming, but after a while you kind of got used to it."
Jared Soares/Kansan
The entire Jayhawk team settled down in the second half. Leading at the half 44-27, the game was never in question, but Kansas had yet to put on its best offensive display.
The Jahawks scored 52 second-half points, showing off their new, up-tempo offense. Pushing the ball up the court, Kansas played a well-rounded game, nailing some outside shots and dominating inside the paint.
Sophomore guard Russell Robinson led the charge with 11 assists, seven of which went to sophomore forward Sasha Kaun.

Kaun led all scorers with 23 points, thanks largely to Robinson's passes. Robinson found Kaun in the paint on three
"Russ can just have a feel on when to pass it and where to pass it," Kaun said.
straight plays early in the second half.
Freshmen Mario Chalmer, Julian Wright and Micah Downs played 16,23 and 17 minutes respectively. Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self said overall, he thought the freshmen were effective.
Senior guard Jeff Hawkins dives for a loose ball against Fort Hays State guard Loranja Owens during the first half. The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, 96-62.
"Brandon was very good, Mario was good in spurts but he wasn't sound defensively and he gambled too much." Self said. "Julian, I thought, was not very good early but was very good late, and Micah did some good things too."
Chalmers finished with 10 points, Wright with eight and Downs with three.
Everybody on the Jayhawks' roster scored last night, including walk-on freshman forward Matt Kleinmann and sophomore guard Jeremy Case, who swished a threepoint shot with three seconds left in the game.
"It is good that everyone scored," Self said. "Everyone should walk out of here feeling pretty good."
Notes:
With both senior guard Stephen Vinson and senior forward Christian Moody starting the game, two former walk-ones were in Kansas' starting lineup.
Sherron Collins and Brady Morningstar signed national letters of intent to play at Kansas. Collins, a 5-foot-11-inch guard from Chicago, is rated the No. 2
point guard in the class of 2006 by recruiting Web site www.rivals.com.
He averaged 25 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds a game last season for Crane High School.
"We are very excited about Sherron's decision," Self said. "Sherron is thought of by many to be one of the best point
guards prospects out of Chicago since Isaiah Thomas."
Morningstar, whose father, Roger Morningstar, played at Kansas during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, is a Lawrence native. The 6-foot-3-inch, 170-pound Morningstar will play prep basketball this season at the New Hampton School.
Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson was not in uniform last night. Self said he was not injured.
"There is an eligibility issue with Darnell that we thought was going to be resolved today, and it wasn't, so hopefully it will be resolved and he can play Monday." Self said.
He would not elaborate further on the issue.
Former Kansas guard Ryan Robertson was in attendance last night. He received a round of applause from the Kansas faithful midway through the second half.
Wednesday was senior guard Jeff Hawkins' birthday and today is sophomore guard Jeremy Case's.

Swanson
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"It will be kind of interesting to see it in a game one day when I'm older, playing with my kids."
This was only a dream to Swanson 10 weeks ago. Before the season, he was recovering from a knee injury, and most experts considered him the fourthbest quarterback on the team.
Swanson said he kept his head up and hoped for the best, but he knew it would take hard work and patience to get back to 100 percent.
SWANSON'S STATS
Just cracking the active roster looked tough.
Seeing legitimate playing time seemed far-fetched.

senior Brian Luke — struggled so mightily that Kansas' offense failed to score a touchdown in consecutive games.
As the weeks passed, Swanson moved up the depth chart.
he was named offensive scout player of the week. The following week, he was promoted to backup quarterback.
Before the K-State game,
Then, against Colorado, he got his chance. Luke suffered an injury during the first half, and Swanson was sent into the game.
Instantly, the offense improved.
A unit that couldn't gain 100 yards against Oklahoma racked up more than 350 against Colorado. Running backs were suddenly breaking off long runs; wide receivers started catching fade passes; and, most importantly, the Jayhawks began scoring touchdowns.
Swanson led Kansas to 13 points in the loss to Colorado and the same total the following week in a victory against Missouri. Then, against Nebraska's highly regarded defense, the Jayhawks exploded for 40 points, with senior wide receiver Mark
Simmons, junior running back Jon Cornish and senior running back Clark Green each having 100-yard games.
Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Swanson was learning how to read defenses and managed a game well, but that alone didn't explain the offense's complete turnaround.
Not even Swanson could figure it out.
"I have no idea," he said. "I just tried to keep doing what I was doing the previous six or seven weeks. I'm not sure why we started scoring points. I guess you'd have to ask them what clicked in their heads."
Simmons said Swanson improved the offense because even when he made mistakes he approached the next play with confidence.
Senior linebacker Kevin Kane said Swanson's demeanor rubbed off on everyone on the field.
"He's a savvy player," Kane said. "He's not afraid to take chances. The rest of the offense feeds off that attitude, and he's just given them a spark."
The rejuvenated offense has helped the Jayhawks get back into bowl contention. With one more victory, Kansas will qualify for its second postseason game in three years.
Swanson said he would do everything he could to snag that last victory, not because he wanted glory or to finally be noticed on campus, but just to extend the time he has remaining to play football and be around his teammates.
He said his friendship with them was what he enjoyed most since he transferred to Kansas from the City College of San Francisco after his sophomore year.
"Grinding out nine to 10 months of work can seem pointless after a while, even make
you ask 'Why am I doing this?' he said. "But if you have guys that are really good and positive, it gets you through those tough times. It really makes it enjoyable."
Swanson said he was 95 percent sure his football career would be over after this semester. So, if Kansas becomes bowl eligible, that feeling will last until late December.
If not, Swanson only gets two more weeks.
Either way, he said he would leave Kansas happy that he got to experience a true college atmosphere and play in big games.
When it's finished, he'll turn into a normal guy with a regular job.
Until he hears his name called on a trivia card. Then, maybe he'll feel like a big man on campus.

The Assoicated Press
NEWYORK — Michael Jackson will come back to the United States, but it's unlikely the King of Pood would ever make it his home again, says his father.
"He'll come back to visit, but not to stay, not to live," Joseph Jackson said. The superstar now lives in Bahrain and his lawyers have said that he no longer considered his Neverland Ranch in California as his home.
"They didn't treat him right here. I know if I was him, I wouldn't come back," his father said.
The elder Jackson said he expected Michael to return to his music careers. Michael Jackson is working on a charity single for hurricane relief with R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg and other stars.

Edited by Andrew Rotman
How can I get involved with AURH?
Questions and Answers with President Jessica Sullivan
What is the AURH?
Jessica: The Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) is a student organization that serves as the governing body of the residence halls at KU. All residents of these traditional residence halls (Corbin Hall, Ellsworth Hall, Hashinger Hall, Lewis Hall, McCollum Hall, Oliver Hall, Gertrude Sellards-Pearson (GSP) Hall, or Templin Hall) are considered members of AURH. All members are nonvoting members and have the right to run for an open position, attend all General Assembly meetings, speak during open forum, and participate in committees.
Jessica: Each hall has elected representatives according to the population of their hall.
AURH is highly respected across campus and works cooperatively with the Department of Student Housing. Our office is located in McCollum Hall. General assembly meets weekly on Tuesdays at 6 p.m.
What is a GA meeting?
Jessica: A general assembly meeting is a time for AURH to discuss issues effecting the halls, to brainstorm ideas for programs, share information about what's going on in the different halls, and have some fun at the same time.
Jessica: Getting involved with AURH is easy! Come to a general assembly meeting and join a committee! Bring us proposals for ways to improve your residence hall!
Who represents me?

Templin/Lewis
The Templin and Lewis hall council participated in chalking, Hall Macabre, Halloween in the Halls, and a fund raiser for Unicef. Hall Macabre is a decorating competition held between the floors of Templin and Lewis during Halloween.

Oliver
Residents of Oliver have recently been out and about participating in a successful touch football tournament (congrats 10th floor winners!), as well as taking ownership over the community by painting a tropical beach mural on the 7th floor (it looks great ladies!) Our partnership with the Writer's Roost, which provides help to students on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday nights
H
from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm, has been successful,and we look forward to continuing this service in the spring semester.
So, what can residents of Oliver expect in the near future? The council will also be hosting a Laguna Beach Finale party featuring Laguna Beach Trivia, prizes, and of course, Laguna appropriate food. To round out the semester of events, the hall council is hoping to host a dodge ball tournament, a karaoke night, and perhaps go a little crazy and host an academic bee! We are always looking for interested students to join us for hall council on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm to help us continue to plan and provide fun, educational activities here in Oliver!
--Natalie Timson
McCollum
It's been a very exciting couple of months in the residence halls, especially in McCollum. The "Big Mac" has seen lots of neat and interesting programs spring up under the motivation and creativity of its occupants.
It's been a very exciting couple of
McCollum is still hosting a Capoeira dance group that meets frequently to perfect their Brazilian dance moves.
One of the more exciting upcoming programs is the Hash Play. Since McCollum is the home away from Hash, "Big Mac" will also be working on the annual Hashinger play. This will be an unique year since the traditionally Hashinger run program will now have McColum influence. The play is scheduled for November 11th and 12th in Alderson Auditorium.

No Frills Conference
So, do you want to help? We have several committee chair positions open and spots for committee members and volunteers. If you're interested, please email Julie Carey at jcarey@ku.edu, take an active leadership role in the University, and gain a greater understanding of the workings of university student housing.
Hey, KU! There is a conference coming up that needs your assistance in representing our great community. Its the No Frills Conference! A team has been busy hammering out all the details for this February 3-4 event, but there are still positions on the team to be filled. What is No Frills? It is a business meeting for about 60 campus residence hall associations coming from seven different states and parts of Canada. It is the second of two annual conferences for the University's Association of University Residence Halls (AURH). At No Frills, all the entertainment and extra programming is taken away, and representatives from those schools complete the necessary business of the MACURH region, which incorporates much of the Midwest.
--Julie Carey
So where does our conference team come in? Well, these representatives need to eat and sleep. While it may seem like a simple enough task to reserve hotels for 150 people, there's the registration process, hospitality, meetings, and transportation (just to name a few) to consider. These 150 people may have never visited our beautiful campus, so we will need volunteers to make sure they can find their way around our Union, campus, and city.

Ellsworth is planning a "Club-Ells", which
will occur during the month of November. Club-Ells will include music, dancing, food, and 'mock-tails', non-alcoholic beverages. A talent show open to all types of acts will be held to give away prizes (Ipod Nano and others.)

playground to the press box
My roommate junior year was a creative money-maker, to say the least. She would pay for her portion of the rent (all $300) by selling items on eBay. She sold anything, from board games and clothes to makeup, candles and electronics. And she found her merchandise everywhere. Sometimes she found an item at a garage sale, sometimes it came from a dusty box in her mom's attic. And sometimes she bought the item on eBay, banking on the possibility she could sell it for more. I distinctly remember one morning when she woke up before sunrise to buy tickets over the phone for a Britney Spears concert in Phoenix. She posted the tickets on eBay the day before the show and sold them for twice their original price. As I watched my roommate make money in pjs from the computer in her bedroom,
If you think you'd like to try an alternative to bussing tables and bagging groceries, you don't have to go to such extremes as my old roommate. Simply check out Kathryn Anderson's story about how to earn cash without holding down a real job. Hey, even if mom and dad do write you a rent check every month, I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a place to spend that extra cash.
I couldn't help but feel a little envious, (I worked as a banquet server and making the same amount of money took me hours of backbreaking labor). Sure, her business came with a few drawbacks. Her room was constantly full of clutter, packaging tape, boxes and labels. But those online sales efforts paid off the rent every month.

The history behind five natural aphrodisiacs, with a little Spanish fly on the side
Fruits of the loin
By Natalie Johnson, Jayplay writer
"I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish fly/ I put it with the monkey - mixed it in the cup/ Went over to the girl 'Yo baby, what's up'"
Any Beastie Boys fan would know those lines. What's less-known is the definition of Spanish fly, an ancient aphrodiasiac, the mechanics of which are decidedly un-sexy. According to www. spanish-fly.edog.org, the fly is actually a beetle that secretes a chemical called cantharadin when frightened. When ingested and passed through by humans, cantharadin causes genital itching and swelling — mistaken by Europeans 500 years ago to be arousal.
The myths and science behind aphrodisiac edibles often clash: foods are considered aphrodisiac only because of shape or tradition, not because of any proven biochemical effect. Cynthia Akagi, associate professor of health and education, says that the only proven aphrodisiac is yohimbine, an extract from the bark of an African tree. However, any food used during sexual interaction could "add to the experience," she says.
Lists of aphrodisiacs can be found anywhere from cookbooks to health Web sites. Here's the story behind five of the most common ones.
Avocados
The avocado got the "aphrodisiac" distinction based on looks. The fruit grows in pairs on trees, and according to an article in the London Times, was called "ahuacuatl" by the Aztecs
— "testicle tree." The androgynous food also imitates a woman's softness and curves and genitals. (Slice one in half, remove the pit, and take a look.)
Chocolate
In addition to sexy looks, most aphrodisiacs have health benefits. In her book Nature's Aphrodisiacs, author Nancy Nickell writes that most aphrodisiacs provide nutrients that keep the reproductive system functioning. The avocado's one of them: It's a good source of potassium vitamins C and E, and riboflavin, according to www.avocado.org.
Chocolate's got a lot of stre cred. A mainstay of Valentine's Day and repentant boyfriends everywhere, it has been used as a food for lovers since its development by the Aztecs and Maya thousands of years ago. These ancient civilizations reserved chocolate drinks for priests and kings, according to The True History of Chocolate, by late anthropologist Sophie Coe.The book traces the scientific name for the cocoa tree, theobrama cacao, to the Greek "food of the gods." In early 2005, researchers at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milwaukee
Hospital in Milan found that
a stronger sex drive than those who don't.
women who eat chocolate daily have
Oysters
Oysters are slippery, exotic and hard to open — an excellent sex metaphor in a tightly clamped shell. Ancient Romans sent slaves to the English shores to gather them, according to an article in the Detroit Free Press, and would also pay for them by their weight in gold. Oysters are considered representative of female genitalia. They also contain a lot of zinc. Sexual expert and therapist Ava Cadell says that zinc releases testosterone, the most powerful sex hormone. She says testosterone, when released in men and women, makes them more aggressive sexually.
Raspberries and Strawberries
Fruit and flowers have always symbolized sex. Stare at a Georgia O'Keefe long enough and you'll start to blush, and slang is full of fruit's influence — what do you think of when you hear "melons?"
Raspberries and strawberries are two classic aphrodisiacs. They're accessible, nutritious, and erotic — the deep purple and bright red are stimulating on their own. According to a study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food,
6.
these berries inhibit the growth of 12 different bacteria and a strain of yeast.
A Creighton Medical School study in 2004 found that the berries are rich in anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. The chocolate-covered strawberry, that double-whammy companion of champagne and romance, is a great way to maximize the berry's aphrodisiac abilities.
Bananas
No aphrodisiac list is complete without a phallic symbol. Like cucumbers, carrots, asparagus and zucchini, a banana is terrific phallic symbol, an aphrodisiac that's anything but subtle. Dr. Cadell says that bananas have significant enzymes and nutrients that create arousal. She says bananas specifically have bufotenine, an enzyme that's linked to increased confidence, happiness and libido. Easy to get and fairly cheap, the potassium-rich fruit is a visual and nutritional aphrodisiac.
Aphrodisiacs have been a part of countless cultures, and a subject for hundreds of studies. To study aphrodisiacs is to study history, biology, psychology and romance. Although avocados, bananas, berries, chocolate and oysters haven't been proven to make sex better, they are good for you. And they're just a tiny fraction of the aphrodisiacs out there: as family practice physician Cynthia Mervis says in her book Love Potions: A Guide to Aphrodisiacs and Sexual Pleasures, anything can be an aphrodisiac, from candles to lingerie to marijuana — it's all in what you make of it.

What do six hours and five phone numbers equal? Well, last Saturday it was just another night of waiting tables at Chili's Grill and Bar for Jaci Grimes, Lincoln, Neb., senior. After serving for a year and a half, Grimes says she's been hit on more times than she can remember. She does, however, remember the worst line she ever got. After finishing his dessert, a customer left Grimes a note on his receipt
saying, "You're sweeter than the chocolate you brought me."
When she isn't getting hit on, Grimes says she loves the serving atmosphere, not to mention Chill's chicken ranch sandwich.
Yeah, Grimes and her coworkers still get a laugh out of that one.

It was freshman year in Ellsworth hall and Bethany Hess was strapped for cash. When a couple of friends planned a spontaneous weekend road trip to Madison, Wisc., Hess had to do some prudential thinking. The Barrington, Ill.
senior, was in no position to strum an acoustic guitar on the corner of $ 9^{\mathrm{th}} $ and Mass. streets. So without musical talent, what's a broke girl to do?
Hess held an impromptu garage sale. Without a garage, her dorm room sufficed. Hess sold CDs, movies and clothing. In less than 30 minutes, she

made her dough: $50 for gas and beer. She says she could have made more if she'd sold her microwave, which became a hot ticket item even though it was not for sale.
The marketing was easy, according to Hess, who never considered making a flyer. Instead, she simply told two or three dorm mates and let the chips fall where they may. They fell in her favor, and they can for you too.

makes ends meet. She uses the cash for beer, gas and food. In that order.
Clean your closet
Simplify your wardrobe and pay for Burrito King by selling your clothes. Arizona Trading Company, 734 Mass. St., buys "pre-loved" clothing from hungry kids like you. By revamping your closet, you'll earn 35 percent of ATC's selling price. If you shrunk your blazer in the dryer and ATC sells it for $30, you'll walk with $10.
Corey Sievers, manager at ATC, says regulars come in monthly. One man, who regularly sells vintage belt buckles, walked with about $100 recently. Sievers says you won't make a living off selling to ATC, but you can make a few bucks here and there.
DaynaWise, Colorado Springs senior, recently made about $150 at Arizona Trading Company. She says the cash

The thrift store works seasonally, so take bring only your unwanted fall and winter apparel. Sievers says they want current men's and women's casual styles, and items must be in very good condition. Vintage pieces are accepted,but Sievers says the store is very selective and 75 to 80 percent of their merchandise is newer items.
eased the headache of holiday shopping and afforded her some new clothes.
Also check out Lasting Impressions, a consignment shop on 711 West $23^{\mathrm{rd}}$ Street. Manager, Vicki Turner welcomes a wide range of items.The shop accepts men's, women's and children's apparel in good condition.She says clothing should be current styles and a maximum of three years old.The store also consigns home decor, jewelry, shoes and accessories.
The store sees about 300 items each day, so make sure your goods are freshly laundered and on hangers, says Turner. Bring in your clothes Monday through Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.for extra cash.
Recycle your music
Take your old Ricky Martin CDs, to Love Garden Sounds on 936 Mass. Street. For almost 16 years, Love Garden has bought and sold previously loved (or hated) CDs and vinyl records. Kory Willis, founding father and coowner, says music lovers often listen to a certain musician for a while then move on to something else. Willis says selling used albums is a perfect source of cash in a college town.
Lasting Impressions will consign your clothes for about a third of an item's original price. After an item is sold you'll earn 40 percent of the sale.
"Rents due, time to kick in for the keq" he says.
Willis says an average mass market CD with in its jewel case with full artwork usually earns you $4. If the store already has numerous copies of your CD on shelf, you'll receive less.
The starting price for a vinyl record is $1, but rare or popular albums can earn you much more.
Willis says Love Garden is fair. "We're not out to scalp anyone. We all live here. I don't want anyone to take a swing at me."
He adds that condition is very important. And he's continuously perplexed by the way some people treat their CDs. People have tried to sell him CDs splashed with Coca-Cola that look like they've been stomped on a few times. Word to the wise: leave your destroyed albums at home.
Again, condition is important. Store manager, Shannon Jones, says books with heavy writing, highlighting or missing pages aren't accepted. They will take your English books, literature, philosophy, children's books and nonfiction. Jones says they love art history and antique books, for which you'll earn the highest dollar.
When you're too deep in the semester to sell off textbooks at Jayhawk Bookstore, take a look at your other books. The Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Mass. St., buys your old books for 30 percent of the selling price. A typical hardcover will be resold for $6 to $12, which means you'll walk with $1.80 to $3.60 for just one copy of Huckleberry Fin. You've read it five times anyway.
Clean out the bookshelves
Also try CDTradepost, who'll not only buy your old CDs, but also give cash for video games and gaming systems. Check out one of their two Lawrence locations on 4000 W. $ ^6$th St. and 2540 S. Iowa St., or surf their inventory from home at www.cdtradepost.com.

Earning a dime is pretty easy here in Lawrence. Stop searching under couch cushions, and sell the stuff you don't use. Then go buy a case of cold ones to celebrate the end of your financial desperation.

It was here U, in one of Budig Hall's cavernous fire halls, where I casually glanced few of the answers given by a girl led in front of me. But there was littleon for me to do so: I was prepared the test; I enjoyed the class; and I had clear evidence that the girl was well-reed in constitutional law. But I did it way.
anyway.
Was it the simple opportunity that drove me to cheat? Fear of failure or pressure from my parents? Whatever the reason, I'm certainly not the first college student who has cheated. A nationwide study of academic misconduct published this year by Don McCabe of Rutgers University found that nearly 70 percent of the more than 50,000 college students surveyed had cheated in one form or another during the previous year. Additionally, close to one-quarter of these students admitted to cheating on a test and half of them admitted to cheating heavily on one or more written assignments.
Similar numbers are to be found in an unpublished survey of 1,250 randomly-selected KU students. This study, conducted in the late 1990s, found that 23 percent of students here had given answers to another student during an exam, 22 percent had copied answers from another student's exam and 22 percent had knowingly committed plagiarism. More importantly, the study found half of all students surveyed agreed with the statement, "It is relatively easy to get away with academic dishonesty at KU."
Got to admit, it's not getting better
Cheating in college is nothing new, but it is becoming more prevalent: McCabe's study reveals that between 1963 and 1993 the number of students who admitted to unauthorized collaboration on coursework increased from 11 percent to 49 percent. And today, cheating is evolving as much as it is increasing. Students still copy each other's homework and bring notes to exams, but new technologies have allowed them to cheat in more elaborate and less detectable ways. The internet, which can also be a valuable academic tool, has become a readily accessible conduit for cut-and-paste plagiarism and unauthorized student collaboration. Next messaging on cell phones allows students to talk with others discreetly while taking a test and camera phones can be used to take pictures of tests for the future benefit of others. Graphing calculators can be programmed to retain formulas for math exams (if you're interested in doing this, an Oct. 4 column from the Kansan opinion page provides complete and succinct explanation of how to do so).
Out of these, the Internet has quickly
established itself as the most problematic. McCabe's same study found that while only 10 percent of students in 1999 had plagiarized information found on the Internet, by 2005 that number had risen to nearly 40 percent. Moreover, more than three-quarters of the students surveyed said cut-and-paste plagiarism was "not a serious issue."
Some of these instances of Web-based plagiarism are likely attributed to an inadequate student understanding of how to use and cite online sources, says Michele Eodice, director of the KU Writing Center. As members of what she calls the "Napster Generation," students might view text and files found online as community property, causing them to be unaware that the rules that govern citation of print materials also apply to those found online.
"I don't think we have an epidemic," she says, "but what we do have are students who need instruction."
Higher expectations, more cheating
While a legitimate misunderstanding of plagiarism or academic misconduct may account for some instances of cheating, these are often a minority. So why else do students cheat? The reasons are as varied as they are many, ranging from simple desperation to complex economic trends that are far less tangible.
More often than not, students resort to cheating when they're unprepared for the assignment, paper or exam. This may be due to laziness or procrastination, a lack of time or difficulty understanding the material. Among students, freshmen may be the most susceptible to fall behind in their workload and resort to cheating: many unprepared for harder classes and a radically different environment than their high schools. Additionally, if students received inadequate high school preparation in a given area, they may go about the subject's class work in "completion mode," says Ingrid Peterson, director of the KU Algebra Program. These students consider class assignments as individual obstacles to be overcome, rather than as building blocks to enhance their knowledge of the subject. They are more likely to cheat, she says, because when assignments are reduced to obstacles, students don't feel it's necessary to learn the information - only the final grade counts.
"Grades are held so highly," says Gina Gay, Leawood sophomore. "They determine what schools you can get in to."
But, like it or not, grades do count And they count for a lot
It's true: Most of the University's professional Schools require a minimum 2.5 GPA in required classes for admission. More often than not, however, one's grades must be much higher. Competitiveness and a finite number of spaces
force these schools to generally accept only those students whose GPAs far surpass the minimum requirement. In Spring 2004, for example, the newly admitted class to the School of Business had an average GPA of 3.42, nearly a full point higher than the minimum requirement. While students with GPAs that barely qualify still have a chance to get into these professional schools, they are severely disadvantaged in the application process.
Grades become even more important, and admissions all the more cutthroat, when students apply to graduate schools. In 2004 to 2005 the KU School of Law received 1,245 applications, but accepted only 317 students. Those who were admitted possessed a median GPA of 3.55, nearly half a point higher than that of the average KU undergraduate.
Some of the students who apply to graduate programs may do so because of a recent economic trend known as credentialism, defined by dictionary.com as "an overemphasis on diplomas or degrees in giving jobs or conferring social status." These students may think that they won't be able to succeed professionally without an advanced degree, says David Callahan, author of The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead.
"Students are anxious in making it today," he says, "the stakes are much higher. People want to protect themselves, so they rack up the highest credentials they can — there's a credential arms race."
Credentials have also led college degrees to be viewed more superficially. No longer do they solely represent a well-rounded educational abstraction, rather, they have become a slip of paper that qualifies one for a job. And because the college degree has been degraded, some students now feel that obtaining one — even if it means cheating to do so — is all that matters.
The primary victims of this trend may be the University's general education courses. Because undergraduate degrees only require around 30 credit hours in a given field, the majority of courses students take lie not within their majors, but in a diverse range of fields. The ostensible purpose of such a system is to combat the idea of college as job training by requiring classes needed for a well-rounded education, a principle the administration vehemently defends.
"The value of those classes is that you're producing whole people," says provost David Shulenburger. "We're not a trade school. General education prepares one for the lifelong role as a citizen."
a result, students are more likely to cheat in these courses than those within their majors because they, "just want to get them out of the way," says Erin Shipps, a 2005 KU graduate.
But when non-majors with little interest in the subject matter labor through a Biology 100 or introductory sociology class, it may be difficult for them to recognize the course's purported abstract worth. As
In addition to their marginalized reputation among students, general education classes also often suffer from a more pronounced catalyst for cheating: large classrooms. Because so many students are required to take them, these classes are often consigned to the University's largest lecture halls, rooms in Budig, Wescoe and elsewhere that rival movie theatres in size. Relative anonymity, close proximity to others and a violently skewed student/professor ratio are all factors that have made these classrooms the easiest places to cheat on campus.
"In big lecture halls, teachers don't know what's going on," says Jen Banks, Chicago sophomore. "You can get away with stuff; you have plenty of opportunities."
Administrators fight back
While cheating is prevalent at KU, the powers-that-be aren't turning a blind eye. As outlined in the University Senate's rules and regulations handbook, students who are caught cheating face a number of penalties, ranging from a simple reprimand to expulsion from KU. In each case, the student's academic history is taken into account. Students who have been caught cheating more than once are more likely to receive harsher penalties than first-time offenders.
This system, however, isn't perfect.The University lacks a central clearinghouse for matters of academic misconduct, and violations are instead handled within the school or department in which they occurred. These violations are then filed only within that school or department Conceivably, a student could be caught cheating multiple times but would only face harsh penalties if caught cheating repeatedly in one class, department or school.
Compounding the problem is a general reluctance among faculty members to report students who have cheated in their classes. Don McCabe's 2005 report found that 44 percent of faculty surveyed were aware that students had cheated in their classes but had not reported it to the proper authority because they preferred to deal with the matter privately or not at all. As it concerns plagiarism, this may be because faculty charges are not resolved consistently, making some faculty members think that plagiarism penalties are not worth pursuing, says Eodice. When faculty members employ turnitin.com, however, their cases are strengthened because it makes the evidence of plagiarism so hard to deny.
"The report is much more convincing

as evidence and allows faculty to take fewer risks in pursuing plagiarism", explains Eodice, also the University's turnitin.com systems administrator.
Continued from page 11
Used by KU since 2002, turnitin.com is a subscription-based search engine with more than 4.5 billion pages of text in its database. Faculty members who choose to submit their students' papers, which the system then compares to the others already in the database, searching for similarities. When similar passages or sentences are found, they are highlighted using a color-coded system. But because turnitin.com highlights both cited and uncited similarities, it is up to the professor or instructor to determine whether plagiarism has occurred. The system retains every submitted paper for future use.
"I'm a firm believer that we can deter plagiarism at the front end, without policing it at the back end" she says.
But though she plays a central role in the University's use of turnitin.com, Oedice prefers prevention to punishment.
Because most plagiarism is the result of procrastination, Eodice thinks it can best be avoided through a more active and involved writing process, one that includes both students and professors. If a high level of professor involvement is impracticable, Eodice urges students who struggle with writing to visit the KU Writing Center for help. Students who do visit the center don't need to engage in plagiarism, she says, because they
have instead engaged in a process.
A similar measure that can be taken to prevent plagiarism and cheating is the implementation of an honor code. These codes are often statements signed by students that promise honest work and acknowledge the jurisdiction of a governing body in cases that violate the code. Because cheating has become such a large problem nationwide, more and more universities are employing honor codes to promote academic integrity and, by default, prevent cheating. They are also having success in doing so. McCabe's study found universities that employ honor codes generally have a level of cheating between one-third to one-half lower than that of universities that do not employ the codes.
KU lacks a university-wide honor code
"I wouldn't have any objection to an honor code," Shulenburger says, "but it would have to start with students. You can't force an honor code on a group of people."
eling those already employed by other universities as models. Ultimately, however, the code never materialized. According to the recorded minutes of a Feb. 3, 2004 Student Senate Executive Committee meeting, a committee member "suggested that it might be beneficial for a new Honor Code to be initiated by students rather than imposed on students by Governance."
Steps were taken, though, in late 2003 and early 2004 that could have led to the establishment of such a university-wide honor code. Based on a recommendation from the University Council's Academic Procedures and Policies Committee, the Student Senate's Executive Committee sought to establish a task force that would oversee the development of an honor code by mod-
Honor codes do tend to be more effective when they are student-initiated and enforced by peers, says Callahan, author of The Cheating Culture.
"It's different if it's imposed from above," he says. "An honor code needs to be more than rules in a handbook - it should be a social contract."
Even though the University doesn't have such a code, the KU School of Business employs their own unique honor codes.
Established in the late 1990s, the business school's code requires its students, both majors and non-majors, to sign an honor statement before each exam. The statement is a promise that the student has not received any unauthorized aid on the exam nor is aware of any other students receiving unauthorized aid.
In addition to the honor statement, the school also established two separate governing bodies to enforce the code. Comprised of students and three faculty members, the school's honor council is an advisory and legislative body that produces and modifies the code's policies and procedures.The school's honor
court, meanwhile, enforces these policies. Composed of student jurors and a faculty judge, the court hears cases of academic misconduct that occur within the school and, when necessary, metes out punishment.
But because there are punitive and authoritative elements, it is not purely an honor code, says Murray Levin, professor of business.
"In a true honor code," he says, "every member of that community is dutybound to shout about infractions and declare they won't tolerate it," as per the rules of a self-governing social contract. A code is not truly one of honor, Levin says, unless all community members are of equal status and united in a desire to uphold their collective ideals.
Learn for yourself
As is often the case, I wasn't caught when I cheated in my political science class. And, aided by the few illicitly acquired answers, I got an A on the test and, ultimately, an A in the class. In the end, though, it's not about the grades you take away from your time in college — it's what you've learned that's important. No one forced us to come to KU; we can stay or leave if we choose to. But while we're here, we may as well take advantage of the opportunity and learn something.
"If you're learning as an end," asks Callahan, "what's the point of cheating?"

By Rory Flynn, Jayplay writer
Brother Ali is one of the most lyrically powerful emcees in hip-hip music today. His aggressive nature and articulate writing show strong in both his albums and as well as in his live performances. Greatly influenced by the forefathers of hip-hop as well as classic, golden-age soul music, Brother Ali is a template for hip-hop artists through his real and often brutally honest lyricism. A converted Muslim, he emerged onto the scene from Minneapolis, Minn. In the midst of a major tour, he took the time to talk with me about hip-hop, the Midwest and Islamic religion.
RF: Who were some of your greatest influences musically and spiritually that made you the artist and person you are today?
BA: For hip-hop there were KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Melle Mel, Slick Rick among others. I was also greatly influence by soul music like Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.
RF: When did you first start rapping and writing lyrics and what was the scene like in Minneapolis at the time?
BA: It was around '84 and '85 through break dancing that I first started rapping. There was really no clear point but more of a progression. I was really first inspired by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel. I started writing lyrics in '89 and '90 and I recorded my first song in 1990. It wasn't until '93 I moved to Minneapolis from Michigan. There were a lot more DJs than emcees at the time in Minneapolis.
RF: Can you explain the significance of the metaphron in the title of your album Shadows on the Sun.
BA: It comes from my thinking that humans are very powerful and excellent. And that under the worst of circumstances you can see true people. It's like when humans are stripped down to the raw you can see the true essence of humanity.I feel that humans are most different from each other when they have all of these luxuries in today's society.
RF: Was working with Ant (producer for hip-hop group Atmosphere) on Shadows on the Sun a perfect fit for you and had you worked with him previously?
BA: I had worked with him a little before Shadows on the Sun. I initially planed on having Ant produce a third of the album, doing a third of the production myself and having another producer work on the other third. But when we got together it was perfect. I have had him produce everything I have released since.
RF: When did you first convert to the Islamic religion and what attracted you to the religion?
BA: I first became Muslim in '92 or '93. I liked how the Koran was not exclusive. It is one of three books written for everyone.
RF: Do you draw inspiration for your music from the Islamic religion?
BA: Not intentionally, at least not anymore. I released my album Rights of Passage with an attitude of that I would seek approval from fellow Muslims. However, in retrospect, it made the music kind of awkward and self-righteous.
RF: Do you ever have time to check out live shows for yourself whenever you are not busy touring or making music? Who have you been impressed by?
BA: I recently saw Common and he was incredible. I always try to catch the Roots. Erykah Badu, Public Enemy, Toki Write. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Slick Rick in Minneapolis, which was amazing.
RF: What music have you been diggin' on recently?
BA: There is this new release from I Self Devine called Self Destruction. I have been listening to Little Brother, Jill Scott, anything from MF Doom. And I also feel obligated to say this but I say it in all sincerity, the new Atmosphere album is amazing.
Brother Ali is performing at the Granada on Friday, Nov.
11 with Blueprint and P.O.S on the Pour Me Another Tour.
The show starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $15.

QA AND
with Ant from Atmosphere
By Rory Flynn, Jayplay writer
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minn., Atmosphere is one of the first hip-hop groups to put the Midwest on the map. First formed in 1997, Atmosphere consists of emcee and lyricist Slug and producer Ant. Their witty lyrics and innovative beats have taken them on tours across the globe and have earned them respect from music listeners everywhere. I talked to Ant on the phone recently after the first of two sold-out shows at the legendary Fillmore theatre in San Francisco.
RF: How are things going on the Pour Me Another Tour?
Ant: Things are great. It has been cool meeting new people and attracting new audiences.
RF: I have heard your latest release, You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having, described as a throwback to old school hip-hop with some of your most progressive beats to date. How would you say the production is different than on your past albums?
Ant: I feel that I never truly accomplished all of my goals for the album but I really wanted to make a noisy record. I wanted to put a different twist of everything into it.
RF: Who are some of the producers or artists who have influenced the music you have produced over the years?
Ant: Certainly Public Enemy is one. The Bomb Squad, Dre, Larry Smith, Timbaland.
RF: Where do you feel most comfortable producing your music?
Ant: I usually work out of my basement. I used to be nervous when I went out to professional studios but having the ability to produce at home allows me to be comfortable and try new things.
RF: What do you use to produce your beats?
Ant: I work with a 4-track (recorder).
RF: Have you ever worked with any home production software such as ProTools?
Ant: I really don't even touch computers. Maybe I'll catch up someday but I don't even have an email address. I think ProTools is both good and bad for music. It allows for more people to release music but it also creates more and more bull shit. Everyone is trying to get famous and really not putting enough time into making music.
RF: After you released your third album, God Loves Ugly, you had major record labels such as Sony, Interscope, and Warner Brothers out to sign you. However you decided to release Seven's Travels on punk label Epitaph. Was this a hard decision for you and Slug?
Ant: Well, I feel that I was at first naive to what was going on. I really left it up to Slug. Atmosphere is all about the Slug show. Epitaph was really genuine and beautiful people so we chose to go with them.
RF: Is Ant just a moniker short for your name Anthony?
Have you had the nickname since you were young?
Ant: I first started being called Ant in the early '90s by some people I was making music with. I don't think anyone should really come up with their own monikers or nicknames.
Both Atmosphere and Brother Ali are performing at Granada, Friday, November 11 with Blueprint and P.O.S on the Pour Me Another Tour. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15.

40 ounces of heaven
Giant bottles of cheap, effective malt liquor
By Dave Ruigh, Jayplay writer
Problem: Tuition bills and a habit of buying post-ironic t-shirts atTarget have weakened your bank account, yet your desire to risk serious liver damage remains strong.
Solution 1 (impractical); Quit drinking; consider (but do not commit to) a rigorous exercise regimen.
Solution 2 (practical): Buy a 40-ounce bottle of beer.
Solution 2 addendum (even more practical): Buy two.
Cheap and totemic, the 40 offers an evening of drinking that's easier on the wallet than near-

While the 40 does suffer from a decidedly negative image (well-documented in the Wayans brothers' 1996 neo-classical semi-hit Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood), its comparative advantages are undeniable. With a standard market

ly everything else available in the liquor store (Franzia boxed wine being the only notable challenger).The beer available to buy in the 40-ounce, glass-bottled format is of two types: regular beer (generally domestic) and malt liquor, the latter being the more celebrated of the two. Malt liquor is brewed somewhat differently from beer (less hops, more corn and fermentable sugars) and has a higher alcohol per cent by volume, generally between 6 and 9 percent.

cost of between $2 and $3 depending on the brand, 40s are about as cheap as a gallon of gas.
"It's a lot of booze for not a lot of money," says Jon Franklovigi, Aberdeen, S.D., senior. And though there is no statistical evidence, 40s may confer an elevated social status and an
increased sense of self-worth on those who drink them.
"It's pretty impressive to be walking around with a big bottle of beer," says Alex Herman, Hays junior. "It makes you feel more manly" than people who drink their beer from a tiny 12-ounce can or bottle.
Similar to their imposing size, 40s possess a greater novelty than most regular beers. With their flamboyant label designs and (usually) animal-based nomenclature, such as King Cobra and
Pit Bull, 40s are as good for a laugh as they are for a hangover.
Pete 'Bruz' Brusyo, a mortgage broker from Basking Ridge, N.J., enjoys 40s and their novelty so much that he began collecting them when he was a student at Rutgers University. His collection is now the world's largest and includes more than 400 unique brands and varieties.
"It's been the largest for a while and it's only getting bigger," he says.
Brusyo says many of the bottles in the collection were originally purchased during road trips in college, as 40s vary in availability by region. As his collection grew, he began browsing Web sites to seek out more unique bottles but found the sites to be of little help.
So he started his own, 40ozmaltliquor com, now the Internet's largest site dedicated to 40s and malt liquor. The site has more than 1,200 registered members, collectively known as the "40ounce Crew," who help Brusyo add to his collection.
If forced to say something negative about the 40, one could concede that its taste isn't all that spectacular. At first taste, malt liquor can be called mildly revolting at best. But in the end, results are results.
"At the beginning it's OK because it's cold, but when it's warm it gets kind of skunky," says Herman, "by the end you can't taste it because you're kind of drunk."

Touch these places to please your mate
Bv Meghan Miller, Jayplay writer
Ever wonder what really turns your partner on? For Lauren Leonard, Plymouth, Minn., freshman, it's her back. She says her back is her favorite place because it feels good when rubbed. There are certain places on our bodies that, when kept in mind, make the sexual experience better. To fully please your mate, keep these spots in mind while doing the deed.
11 places sure to make your man tingle
1) The melon: Why not start at the top? Run your fingers through his hair, massage his scalp and touch his face. Pamela Lister, sex and marriage writer for Redbook magazine, says that any kind of relaxing, sensual or even playful tease of this sort is called a bridge to desire. The more bridges, the better.
2) Ears: Continue to tease him by licking the inside of his ear. This may sound like a wet willy, but if done correctly, it can really fire him up. Lister says make like a summer breeze and blow around the edge of his ears. Tuck little kisses behind them.
4) Neck: Use your mouth to suck the skin around his neck. Lister says a little kiss or nibble on the neck can segu into some serious foreplay. But don't do it too hard, lest you leave a hickey.
3) Chops: Graze your lips against his.
5) Back: You can please your man while he's face down too. Lister says to alternate your nails and fingertips in long strokes, little circles and teasing skips to keep him guessing where you'll alight next.
6) Teets: Suck on them for a bit, then blow lightly to really turn your guy on. Changing the moisture from wet to dry will send shockwaves through his body. Amy Levine, sex expert, says that nipples can be carnal command centers. Because they are sometimes neglected, they might be supersensitive so Levine suggests you start out gentle.
7) Palms: Follow the nipple nibble by sucking his fingers. Lister says using a blindfold may heighten the anticipation of your touch.
8) Happy trail: Follow his happy trail south. It's a good guide. Lick in every direction.
9) Inner thigh: Caress and kiss his inner thigh. Go on, be a tease.
10) The big kahuna: If you want to turn up the sexual volume, Lister says to try caressing him wearing satin gloves or sneaking under the covers to stake out the new territory with your mouth and tongue.
11) Tush: It's there, so use it to your full advantage. Lister says that it's built for rough handling. Go ahead and grab, pinch and dig in your nails. You
can even spank him if that's what you think he really wants.
Women have their special spots too
4) Neck: Sometimes, you don't even have to touch her to get her excited. Just blowing on the nape of her neck can send goose bumps up and down her body
5) Ears: Continuing with the no touch tactic, Strovny says to whisper sweet nothings into her ears. Saying erotic things should really get her going.
3) Booty: Some women like to have their butts squeezed. Strovny believes that some soft squeezing can help to arouse her.
On her body, Dr. David Strovny, sex correspondent, says there are 10 spots to keep a woman happy.
1) Inner thigh: This area is sensitive for women. Stroking and licking will really turn her on.
2) Knee:There are a lot of nerve endings behind the knees so Strovny says to utilize this area, but don't overdo it. Gently nibbling the back of her knee can be a great starter.
6) Feet: Massaging or licking her feet can be very enjoyable.
7) Wrists: Continue the foreplay by nibbling her wrists. She might even be impressed that you know about this sensitive spot.
8) Udders: Gently doing just about anything to her nipples will get her excited. Strovy says that some woman like it a bit rougher, so find out what she wants so you can please her best.
And there you have it. The best spots to touch on your partner. If you hit these spots correctly, the experience will, ultimately, be better for you and the one you're with. Go ahead and try all of these out to see which ones best satisfy your mate.The learning process will be fun for both of you and you'll also learn how to make the most out of every sexual opportunity.

9) Parking the limo: Searching for the G-spot and working on all the areas around it is one of the best ways to heat up a night together. But if she gets squirmy, Strovy says to make sure that it's because she's enjoying it and not annoyed with you because you aren't pleasing her right.
10) The kissers: Strovny says that a woman's lips are the best place to start. Kissing, sucking or biting can usually lead to much more if done correctly. Play with her lips to get her tantalized.

I'm straight, but I'm always getting hit on by gay guys at bars. Is it possible to send out a gay vibe? I'm getting sick of being mistaken for being gay when I want women! — Joel, Junior
Jessica: You're being mistaken for a gay man because you're not hitting on enough women the right way. Get your sorry ass up and make contact! Initiate conversation and buy them drinks. If you want females, you need to associate with females. Escape from your refuge, otherwise known as the bar, and make it obvious what you're here for without looking like a total jackass. If there's a guy macking on a girl, chances are he's not gay. If there's a guy macking on five girls? He's an ass, but definitely not gay.
Brian: I think you need to be more worried about the fact that you don't even mention how you are doing with the women. Consider bringing a girl to the bars with you as a "wing girl." Keep her by your side at all times and tell her to help you find a girl. If that fails, use this opportunity to try to get into her pants. Now you're killing two birds with one stone: ensuring yourself some poontang later that night and keeping gay guys at bay.

My girlfriend is always giving me crap for not dressing the way she wants me to. I'm fine with how I look in T-shirts and jeans. How do I get her to lay off? — Pete, Sophomore
Brian: It's simple: If she doesn't like how you dress, then she doesn't really like much about you. She's trying to form you into who she wants you to be.Tell her she's either gonna be with you in your T-shirt and jeans or she'll have to find some other guy to dress like her own personal Barbie doll.
tension of herself. Should you threaten her reputation, then by George, you're the fashion faux pas of the century according to her. She's so concerned with what other people think that once you started dating her, you became a reflection of her and have been subjected to such lame standards ever since. I beg of you, Pete, before you invest in a costly new wardrobe to appease her, find someone who loves you in and out of your T-shirts and jeans.

Brian: While going to bars and getting tanked is something that people of all ages do, trying to be a college student is something only those who are in denial will do. Get a life of your own and you won't have any problem straying away from things like writing into student publications.

Jarhead
R, 115 minutes, Southwind Theatre ★★★★☆
In Kevin Wilmott's anti-war film class here at KU, we are taught the basic elements of an anti-war film: How does the film treat the enemy? Does the film discuss the moral implications of the war? We also discuss different kinds of
war film such as the "war is hell" film or "war porn." Going in to Jarhead, I was ready with all of my new knowledge of war films to really understand and classify it, according to the classic war film model. I, like the characters in the film, was left with nothing but disappointment, because Jarhead defies classic war film classification. It is something different. Powerful, brutal and beautiful all rolled into

something that could have been distributed as a Marine Corps recruiting video, but comes off as a surprisingly unbiased account of a soldier just trying to do what he was trained to do: kill something.
Based on Anthony Swafford's 2003 memoir, Jarhead, centers on the experiences of the author (played to perfection by Jake Gyllenhall) and his military cohorts, including his Staff Sergeant (Jamie Foxx, reminding us why he won and Oscar) and Swafford's best friend (Peter Sarsgaard, reminding us that someday he should), in the first Gulf War. The title Jarhead is the self-imposed nickname of soldiers in the Marine Corps, and it not only refers to their haircut but also to the fact that these men are supposed empty vessels like that of a jar. From basic training to the desert, Swafford, first
questions, but then is embedded with, a desire for war. At one point, a reporter asks him why he fights and after disposing the standard military responses, he looks into the camera and says, "I'm 20 years old, and I was dumb enough to
sign a contract." He means it. But then the rest of the film is a series of vignettes, showing the soldiers, now in a holding pattern, waiting for the real war to begin, just passing the time. This section slows the film down considerably as the soldiers patrol the desert for nothing, play a football game in their gas suits in 114-degree heat and slowly lose their minds. The fact that this section slows the
film down is one of showing, not telling. The audience feels the soldiers' frustration. Director Sam Mendes doesn't just tell us the waiting before the supposed storm was torture on these young soldiers' minds, he shows us. We want them to go out and kill something just to break their boredom.
As for classifying Jarhead, it deserves a new category. It's a "boys and their toys war film." One where the soldiers watch Apocalypse Now to get pumped up for war, one where they repeatedly worship the rifle they were give and ultimately, one where the boys have their toys. They're all ready to go but they aren't allowed to use them, thereby causing madness and the destruction of that military dream, the desire to kill for a cause.

Proof
Proof, a tense, cerebral and dramatic film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn, explores with delicacy and depth a family of mathematical geniuses.
The film stars Gwyneth Paltow as
Catherine, the incendiary and aloof youngest daughter of a modern math genius, Robert, played by the alwaysfantastic Anthony Hopkins. Catherine's older sister, Claire, up-tight yet well-intentioned, is played by Hope Davis and Jake Gyllenhaal plays Hal, Robert's cute math student. It's an eclectic and small, yet powerful cast.
Initially, the film deals with Catherine's bitter grief over Robert's sud-
The Depersonal led us to the

gner over nobile surr den death, after he suffered for most of his life with mental illness. The story's plot focuses on Catherine and Hal's search through her father's 103 notebooks, filled with dazzling math equations. But the more poignant plot line follows her fear that she may have inherited her father's mental illness. After culling through the notebooks, the duo stumbles upon a breakthrough proof. One of the many intriguing questions Proof raises is who the author of such incredible work is and the strength it takes someone to reach their true creative potential. This resonant film's potency lies in its display of the vibrant tension between Catherine and Robert and questioning the impact of mental
illness on a person's work. The extensive use of flashbacks adds a wonderful layer to the plot and yet are often confusing.
Paltrow truly shines in one of her rawest and most layered performances to
date. Anthony Hopkins is phenomenal as the brilliant father who is plagued by doubt and loss of mental control. Gyllenhaal proves he is more than a handsome face, amply keeping up with the celebrated leads.
Although the film is intense, it has several subtle and hilarious jokes, which provide welcome relief.This is a beautifully-written film, especially during Catherine's closing monologue. Proof demonstrates that even mathematics, in its rigid language and tiring execution, can be funny, thrilling and heart-breaking.

One girl's path from the playground to the press box
I'm sitting in the press box at Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City. It's game two of a three-game series between the Royals and the Red Sox. "The K," as the locals call it, is empty. The grounds crew is watering the infield, dragging it to immac-
culately smooth perfection. I'm sitting next to people who've proven themselves in this business. Next to beat writers and columnists – a room of people I aspire to be like.
But looking around it's clear - I can never really be like them. As my glance grazes the press box contingent, it's quite clear I'm
different. I am one of only two women there.
My thoughts linger on this for a moment, but no longer.
Kelsie Smith Jayplay writer
POLYBAGA
To me, it's never really been as issue. You see, growing up I wasn't exposed to what society would consider a normal gender role. My mom worked with power tools but took breaks to do the laundry. My dad was a farmer but came home every night to cook dinner.
I'm the youngest of three girls. When my dad realized he would never have a son, he improvised. Thus my sisters and I lived by the creed, "Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you have to throw (or shoot or swing) like one." My
dad devoted equal attention to instilling his love for sports in all three of us. For some reason, though, it really only stuck with me.
While my sisters retreated to boyfriends and Future Homemakers of America, my dad and I spent hours in the vacant lot across the street from my house, playing catch or having batting practice. He pitched, I
hit and my black lab, Duke, played outfield. Our neighbors got used to seeing us in the driveway at dusk, sneaking in a game of "21" before the sun ducked out of sight - my dad covered in sweaty dirt from a day in the fields and me in a swim suit and mesh shorts, fresh from a day at the city pool.
When the South Dakota winter set in, we retreated to the garage where I practiced ball handling and what my dad
called "quick hands." It was a lesson he taught quite effectively by employing one simple concept - when a basketball is flying at your head, you either catch it or get hurt. I learned to catch it. Quickly.
That quickness, I've learned, is a virtue. And while it's true I can catch whatever my dad throws at me, being quick now has taken on a whole new meaning. In 20-some minutes, I'll board the elevator and descend into the place where my gender becomes my most obvious feature - the clubhouse. Yep, a locker room, naked men and all, where quickness now lies in how fast my eyes can avert the nakedness surrounding me.
It's an art really, working the clubhouse, and while etiquette is understood among baseball writers, I have two self-imposed guidelines. One - find a place in the clubhouse (usually the TV) and focus my attention there. Two - The Pants Rule. For me to talk to a player and ensure both of our comfort, pants are the one necessary clothing item (spandex underwear are sometimes acceptable and towels pass in group interview situations).
My mom is so disturbed that my job requires me to be near naked men, she repeatedly asks, almost pleads, "Don't they have a different room or something you can go in?"
No, mom. They definitely do not. I'm certain if she had known my dad's moto to would turn into "just because you're a girl doesn't mean you have to stay in the girl's locker room," she wouldn't have encouraged him so much.
But as I take notebook and recorder in hand, I'm so thankful she did. Walking to the elevator, I think again about my tractor-driving, car-fixing, casserole-making dad. Out of all our competitions, I can count on one hand the number of times I beat him at anything. When I was in high school, one of our driveway lessons turned into an impromptu game of one on one. I remember my mom sitting on the deck laughing as her 56-year-old husband knocked her 16-year-old daughter to the asphalt with a blocked shot.
That's the thing about my dad - he could have put me in a dress and left me inside with my dolls, resigned to the fact he would never get to pass on his patented jump hook to any of his kids. But instead he took me to the farm. He let me get my hands dirty. He didn't let me win. He didn't assume I would like Barbies more than baseball.
He didn't assign me a gender role, so I never accepted one.
Now that I'm in my last year of college and planning for a career in sports journalism, I know there are countless locker room scenes in my future. My life will be one far removed from the comfort of my driveway in small-town middle-America.
But at Kauffman Stadium or Fenway Park, in locker rooms and press boxes, I always take my dad with me. Without him, I could never have been so fearless. His love gives me the confidence to know that just because I'm a girl doesn't mean anything is out of my reach.
Of course, it also gave me a mean jump shot.

More computer upgrades
FCC requires universities to comply

Programs and resources available to KU students may become scarce if the University of Kansas is forced to comply with a federal mandate to upgrade its computer networks.

The mandate could cost the University several million dollars or much less, said Denise Stephens, vice provost for Information Services and Chief Information Officer for the Lawrence Campus.
"We would have to find the money, like everyone else, because it's an unfunded mandate," Stephens said. "We would have to drop other programs because resources are limited."
The University is one out of hundreds that have to upgrade their computer systems to make it easier for law enforcement to monitor communication over the Internet. In August, the Federal Communications Commission expanded the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to include Internet communications in addition to telephone wiretaps. Officials said the University already complied with court orders for access and that the mandate would be a waste of money.
Allison Lopez, spokeswoman and marketing manager for Information Services, said the mandate would make it easier for federal investigative agencies who had obtained a lawful court order to monitor communications of students and faculty. The University does not monitor the Internet or computer usage of its students, faculty and staff, she said.

Any upgrade would not enhance the University's teaching research or service, she said. The only effect of the upgrade would be to bring the University into compliance with CALEA. The University recently completed a
$1.5 million network equipment upgrade, which spanned several years. The University received the grant from the federal government with the help of Rep. Dennis Moore.
The University may have to upgrade the network's switches and routing equipment in every building on all four campuses by July 2007, Lopez said. The upgrades would identify the name of the user and his or her Internet provider address. This information could be viewed beyond campus by law enforcement agencies authorized by a court order.
Every computer connected to the network on all four of the University's campuses would be affected, although users would

Old blood saves lives; Med Center to test recycled hemoglobin
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT trobinett@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas Medical Center is preparing for a clinical trial of PolyHeme, an emergency substitute for red blood cells, to evaluate its efficiency and safety.
PolyHeme comes from expired blood that is ready to be discarded from the blood bank, said Suzanne Porras, research coordinator in the trauma department at the Med Center.
See page 3A to find out what some Kansas City metro area residents are doing to keep PolyHome out of their veins.
Bob Hallinan, media relations coordinator at the Med Center, said PolyHeme was a good use of the expired blood that would otherwise be thrown out.
Porras said that to make Poly-
Heme, its developers at North-
Currently, paramedics give intravenous fluids, such as saline solution, to trauma patients who lose large amounts of blood, Porras said. The intravenous fluids replace the lost blood, adding volume to a patient's blood stream to keep blood pressure at a normal level.
field Laboratories in Evanston Ill., broke down the outer cellular membrane of red blood cells to extract hemoglobin, the molecule which holds the oxygen inside the cell.
When a patient is given intravenous fluid at the trauma scene, sometimes multiple organs fail because the fluids don't contain the oxygen the organs need to function.
She said the trial hoped to prove that when a patient was given PolyHeme instead of intravenous fluid, organ failure would be prevented because the patient would receive oxygen as well as volume.
"The hope is to prevent them from having to receive so much blood later," Porras said. "Poly-
Heme is just like getting a unit of blood because it takes the hemoglobin up one gram, just like blood."
She said more than 500 patients had received PolyHeme with no serious side effects. Because PolyHeme is derived from blood, the patient has a minimal chance of contracting a disease — the same as with blood transfusions. But the old blood has already been screened and filtered, then is filtered again to make PolyHeme, so that risk is low.
The Med Center was chosen to test PolyHeme because it is a level-one trauma center, a title given by the American College of Surgeons. According to www.facs.org, a levelone trauma center should provide total care for all aspects of injury and leadership in education and research.
Porras said the trial would start as soon as all EMS personnel were trained, hopefully in the first part of December.

GET READY FOR THE BEAKEND
BY MARK VIERTHALER

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
With flavors of old Rolling Stones and Beatles, these four European talents are following in the footsteps of such rock revivers as Jet, Louis XIV and Franz Ferdinand giving a distinct European flavor, mixed in with poppy hooks and a newer flavor and harder edge to bring in an audience that demands a little more true talent from their performers.
The pop-rock group OK Go will be making a Saturday night appearance in Kansas City, Mo., this weekend. The Swedish quartet will headline at The Hurricane, 4048 Broadway. The show is all ages, so everyone from freshmen to graduate students can attend to catch a glimpse of an up-and-coming buzz in the world of rock.
Its songs range from vaguely surreal tunes like "The House Wins," an infectious tune that begins with a pounding piano followed up with chanting vocals. "A Million Ways," gives another smooth and rolling song berating a woman that knows "A million ways to be cruel."
Having spent the past several years on the rock scene, poking around and testing the waters, OK Go has finally begun to get some mainstream airplay with their newest single, "A Million Ways," off their most recent album. "Oh No".
The lyrics aren't on the level of Bob Dylan's genius, but they
aren't the cookie cutter, glazed over shoddiness that has become a staple of recent rock and metal. For anyone who's sick of listening to painfully earnest lyrics about how their father never loved them, this band offers both serious and lighthearted lyrics that refuse to take themselves too seriously.
Probably the best feature of this band is that it's original and it isn't afraid to be original. Its fame comes in after similar bands, but these guys have been out there with the rest of them, and they deserve the recognition.
In a continuing world of pierced, tattooed, highpitched whiners, OK Go is a breath of fresh air that holds similarities to the indie band The Killers. In a music industry increasingly dominated by serious motifs, it's good to see some bands throwing back to the roots of rock.
So if you have the gas to drive to Kansas City this weekend, be sure to check out these guys at The Hurricane. The entire downtown scene is worth checking out anyway.
The group even dabbles with Pink Floyd-esque effects in several of their songs, giving them a retro avant-garde feeling.
OK Go relies on its rolling bass lines and harsh guitar hooks to entice the listener. The attractive lyrics and heavy use of symbols are just more attractive points that give a feel of the late 1970s rock scene.

Thomas said future plans included working on researching the health disparities and needs of the community.
Chacon said he respected Thomas' vision in regard to adapting to changing demographics and learning to be a socially aware health provider.
Much of the Office of Cultural Enhancement and Diversity's programs are funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. According to Hispanic Business, the school recently received additional grants totaling more than $11.8 million that will help fund the office's efforts in the next three years.
"As the state's population changes, it's becoming more important to be culturally competent and understand how to interact with people from various backgrounds," he said.

"It seems like whenever I go there and they find out I speak Spanish they just cling to you," Beltren Papsdorf said. "It works out pretty well, though, because I get to help them and I learn a lot.
Francisco Chacon went into medicine when he realized what a difference it made to have medical professionals who understood how to help the Hispanic population.
"It is a population you can't ignore," said Chacon, who is of Mexican heritage. "You need to have a broader perspective and be bilingual to be able to treat these people."

The program coordinates outreach efforts with minority students or those from underprivileged or rural backgrounds. The sponsored learning initiatives range from Saturday learning sessions for children in grade and middle schools to its summer school for high schoolers to a pre-admissions program that is designed to strengthen academic competitiveness.
Students at the school have academic assistance and resources available to them. Academic assistance programs include supplemental instruction, small study groups and tutoring.
Chacon, first-year University of Kansas School of Medicine student from Liberal, isn't the only one who understands the importance of helping the Hispanic community. The school ranked sixth on Hispanic Business magazine's top 10 medical schools for Hispanics.
Patricia Thomas, associate dean for Cultural Enhancement & Diversity, said the school earned the distinction because of its Center of Excellence for Minority Medical Education and Health Careers Pathways Program.
Thomas said the school was one
of the only medical schools in the country that had a full-time faculty position that was responsible for teaching a Spanish class that focused on medical terminology. Thomas has also worked with professors in each department to make sure cultural diversity, touching on topics like attitudes and belief systems, is taught in every class.

Girl in custody battle receives treatment
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHTTA — Through a port in her chest that once delivered powerful chemotherapy medication, vitamin C now flows into Katie Wernecke's body.
A week after a lengthy legal battle between her parents and the state ended with 13-year-old Katie walking out of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, she's had three such intravenous treatments.
She may have two or three more during her stay at the Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning International in Wichita, before returning with her father to their home in Agua Dulce, Texas.
But a doctor told a social worker that Katie's parents were endangering her life by refusing the treatment. In June, workers with Child Protective Services in Texas removed Katie from her family.
The treatments are an alternative approach to fighting Hodgkin's disease, which Katie was diagnosed with in January. Center medical director Ron Hunninghake has said that in large doses, vitamin C can be converted into peroxide, which is toxic to cancer cells.
"She has a good foundation ...a better-than-average prognosis from our perspective," Hunninghake said.
Doctors have said that Katie's chances of surviving the disease had dwindled from 80 percent to as low as 20 percent.
After initial rounds of chemotherapy, the tumor in her chest appeared gone and the Werneckes refused the radiation treatments that doctors recommended but her father refused because of heightened risk for breast cancer.
Last week, a judge ruled that Katie should be returned to her parents' custody as soon as she completed a round of chemotherapy and was stable.
"She's had a good attitude about it,
her father, Edward Wemcke,
told The Wichita Eagle. He added that she told him several times, "Dad, it's only cancer."
The treatments are an alternative approach to fighting Hodgkin's disease, which Katie was diagnosed with in January. Center medical director Ron Hunninghake has said that in large doses, vitamin C can be converted into peroxide, which is toxic to cancer cells.
Although Edward Wernecke said he was satisfied with District Judge Jack Hunter's ruling, the judge still has not cleared the Werneckes of an earlier ruling saying they had medically neglected their daughter.

KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
A clinical trial involving the use of fake blood has caused some area residents to worry. The PolyHeme clinical trial began Nov. 1, but several residents are looking to opt out.
PolyHeme is a temporary oxygen-carrying red blood cell substitute. Because it requires no cross-matching of blood types, it is compatible with all blood types. Researchers believe that PolyHeme will be useful for patients who have lost large amounts of blood because it will be able to carry oxygen to patients' organs and tissues.
"One in five trauma patients die from their injuries," said Michael Moncure, physician and the principal investigator of the

PolyHeme study. "It is believed that PolyHeme will help these patients survive."
"An opt-out wristband is available for anyone who wishes to be excluded from this clinical trial," Moncure said. "This wristband will prevent that person from getting placed in the study if they happen to get injured."
Suzanne Porras, research coordinator in the trauma department at the Med Center, said the hospital needed to educate the public about the trial before it could begin. Because PolyHeme is used in trauma situations and many patients may not be conscious, the hospital needed to meet federal regulations. Over the course of several months, doctors and nurses from Med Center spoke at meetings around the area, including
The University of Kansas Medical Center has been working for almost a year to test the product in its emergency room, but if it sounds scary, students and residents can opt out of the tests.
Douglas County, discussing this issue and how someone can choose not to participate.
"Thus far, the public response has been pretty positive," Porras said. "They think that it will be very cutting edge and will be a big improvement in the care that we can give patients."
Porras said only about 30 people had chosen to opt out of the trial.
Opt-out wristbands are available by contacting the Med Center. Anyone wearing this wristband will automatically be
excluded from the PolyHeme clinical trial.
Treatment with PolyHeme would begin before the patient's arrival at the hospital and then would continue for 12 hours after his or her injuries. Patients who have lost a large amount of blood, are in shock and are at least 18 years of age are all eligible to be selected to participate in this clinical trial.
Three-hundred and sixty patients will receive PolyHeme during the study and 360 others will receive regular standard care for comparison. Standard care consists of administering intravenous fluids and donated blood. PolyHeme recipients are randomly selected. Once a patient has been selected to receive PolyHeme, his or her family is immediately notified.
"If a family decides that they do not want their loved one participating in this clinical trial, they can withdraw their loved one from the study at any time," Moncure said.

Dueling tummy hormones curb hunger
BY LAURAN NEERGAARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Scientists have discovered a biological brake for a hunger hormone: a competing hormone that seems to counter the urge to eat.
SCIENCE
The substance, named obestatin, has been tested in laboratory rats. But if it pans out, the discovery of the dueling hormones could help unravel the complex ways that the body regulates weight and lead to a new appetite suppressant — important news for the one-third of obese American adults.
The same gene sparks production of the two opposing hormones, Stanford University
researchers said in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
"It seems counterintuitive that Mother Nature would press on the brake and gas pedal at the same time," said Matthias Tschop of the University of Cincinnati, a reviewer of the work.
Scientists know that dozens of hormones probably are involved in the balancing act of weight gain and loss, so they face years of research to see whether obestatin might work as an appetite suppressor.
Among the crucial questions to be answered is whether obestatin made the rats eat less because it directly suppressed their appetites, or because it made them feel ill.
Huseh's team scoured databases of genes from humans and other organisms to discover types of hormones that could be turned into drugs. They narrowed their hunt to stretches of genes conserved through millions of years of evolution in
A sister hormone to ghrelin, obestatin might be better dubbed the anti-ghrelin. Stanford endocrinologist Aaron Hsueh and colleagues discovered.
from the hunger hormone called ghrelin. Produced in the stomach, it boosts appetite. The theory is that ghrelin helped early humans survive famine by fattening them up during times when food was plentiful, a mechanism that can backfire in todav's culture of plenty.
far-ranging species, a sign that those sequences may be of particular biological importance.
The genetic sequence that leads to ghrelin had an extra protein hanging on the end — obestatin. Hsueh created a synthetic version of the hormone and set out to see what it does.
Obestatin also slowed the movements of food through the rodents' stomachs and intestines, important steps in countering ghrelin's-hunger-induced effects.
Normal-weight rats injected with obstatin cut food intake in half, causing a 20 percent drop in weight during eight days.
The research was funded by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development LLC.

Deaths linked to contraceptive patch
BY MARTHA MENDOZA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MRS. HANCOCK'S WATERCOLD BREAKFAST
The Associated Press
Kathleen Thoren sits in bed at Sweetwater County Hospital in Rock Springs, Wyo., on Sept. 4, 2004, with her new baby, Brandy, in the arms of her daughter, Kelsey, almost 2 years old, with husband, Tom, and son, Mikey. 7. The new mother died just before Thanksgiving that fall after days of agonizing headaches brought on by hormones released into her body from a birth control patch.
The makers of a popular birth-control patch warned millions of women Thursday that the patch exposes them to significantly higher doses of hormones and may put them at greater risk for blood clots and other serious side effects than previously disclosed.
The warning from Johnson and Johnson subsidiary Ortho MeNeil, makers of Ortho Evra, said women using the patch would be exposed to about 60 percent more estrogen than those using typical birth control pills because hormones from patches get into the bloodstream and were removed from the body differently than those from pills.
Thursday's warning comes four months after The Associated Press reported in July that patch users die and suffer blood clots at a rate three times higher than women taking the pill.
Citing federal death and injury reports, the AP also found that
about a dozen women, most in their late teens and early 20s, died in 2004 from blood clots believed to be related to the birth-control patch, and dozens more survived
strokes and other clot-related problems.
Ortho McNeil spokesman Michael Beckerich was not immediately available for comment about
Thursday's warning, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
More than 4 million women have used the patch since it went on sale in 2002. Several lawsuits have been filed by families of women who died or suffered blood clots while using the patch, and lawyers said more were planned.
Documents released to attorneys as a result of that litigation show Ortho McNeil has been analyzing the FDA's death and injury reports, creating its own charts that document a higher rate of blood clots and deaths in association with the patch than with the pill.
In addition, an internal Ortho McNeil memo shows that the company refused, in 2003, to fund a study comparing its Ortho Evra patch to its Ortho-Cylen pill because of concerns there was "too high a chance that study may not produce a positive result for Evra" and there was a "risk that Ortho Evra may be the same or worse than Ortho-Cylen."
Tab
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Bryce Katz, Overland Park junior, said he had spent up to $70 or $80 on an open tab in one night. He said it was easier to build up a big bill when using a credit card.
"When you go out with $50 in your pocket you can see when it's gone." Katz said.
To avoid accumulating a large drink tab, Bobby Boyd, Overland Park junior, said he only used cash.
"I try to avoid using cards so I don't spend more than I should," Bowl said.
The minimum to open a tab at Red
Lyon Tavern is $20, which is equal to about four drinks, Baker said.
Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest for Red Lyon Tavern, and Baker said there had been between 20 and 40 open tabs on these nights. She also said that sometimes customers accidentally left their cards behind.
"We have a stack of probably about 50 credit cards that people leave here. Sometimes they don't even come back because they forget they were here," Baker said.
The bar keeps the cards until they expire. They then cut them up and throw them away if they are never claimed. Dane Brewer, manager of Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St., said that
on Thursday nights he had about 75 open tabs, and he estimated that five of those 75 cards are usually left behind.
To avoid the problems that bar tabs create, Louise's West, 1307 W, 7th St., does not take credit cards. There is an ATM available for people with cards to access cash.
Bryan Culver, manager of Louise's West, said regulars were allowed to pay with checks, but other than that they only accepted cash.
Culver said they did not use tabs for a number of reasons. They tied up bartender time, cards could be declined and a person could leave without paving.
While many bars have a minimum
tor opening tabs, some choose not to. The Ranch, 2515 W. 6th St., usually has about 20 or 30 tabs open on Thursday nights, said Tim Craven, manager. But, there is no required minimum. Craven said he had not noticed a big problem with students spending more than they intended to, partly because there was no minimum.
"If they want to have one beer and leave that's fine with us," Craven said.
Students do not always carry cash on them so they can buy one drink with a credit card and close the tab, said Craven.

Stephens said the University was not directly involved in an appeal filed by education associations the American Council on Education (ACE) and EDUCAUSE on behalf of hundreds of universities for an extension or an exemption. But the University is a member of the two associations, she said. Bill Staples, chairman of the department of sociology at the University, said the upgrades would not dramatically change the way law enforcement conducted investigations. The number of court orders issued for surveillance on university campuses have not increased.
increased stantially over the past couple years, he said
"There's an issue about bureaucracies, like the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. When you make things easier, in the worst-case scenario, they could abuse it," Staples said.
FCC Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy said in a statement, "Of all our responsibilities, none is more important than preserving public safety ... the Commission might act to further this goal by closing gaps in the application of CALEA — gaps that increase the danger posed to American citizens by criminals and terrorists."
Stephens said the University was not directly involved in an appeal filed by education associations the American Council on Education (ACE) and EDUCAUSE on behalf of hundreds of universities for an extension or an exemption. But the University is a member of the two associations, she said.
"No one is setting aside money to pay for this." Stephens said, "it's going to come on our shoulders."
Lopez said The higher-education community was waiting to see if the court would grant the appeal. There is currently a national discussion about the immense, unfunded financial burden this would place on universities across the country. Nationally, the cost to universities would likely be in the billions, she said.
"Besides the dollars issue, the real cost to us could be in lost opportunities — to meet needs, to grow, to help students, faculty and staff do their work," Lopez said.

Unprepared mothers should have choice
I have many reasons for being pro-choice, and none of these reasons have anything to do with me wanting to kill babies. I find it tragic that many lives are not lived because of abortions.
What's even sadder to me is, with 6.3 billion people in the world, "over one billion people do not have access to clean water [and that] every 15 seconds, a child dies from a disease associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene," according to WaterAid.
As population increases, so does the number of people without access to a decency of living. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-choice. I wish that abortions were simply unheard of,

along with poverty and abuse of power.
supplies have doubled in the last 40 years."
This statement needs to be examined more closely. The Human Development Index, created by the UN, measures the "average achievement in three basic dimensions of human development, a long and healthy life, knowledge and a decent standard of living," so it makes sense that Norwegians are ranked as having the best quality of life, while the life of a Nigerian is least favorable, because Norwegians have better healthcare, better access to education and most don't live in poverty.
Despite the fact that "food supplies have doubled in the last 40 years," there are still 800
million people suffering from chronic hunger, according to Oxfam America.
With so many people suffering in the world, the abortion in America issue seems to go beyond Roe v. Wade.
It is impossible to know exactly how many abortions were performed from 1967 to 1973 in the United States when abortions were illegal, because people who commit crimes usually don't report them.
If the United States outlawse abortion, and, as a result, fewer abortions are attempted in the United States, it will not help the unsafe abortions performed on more than 19 million women globally each year.
The World Health Organization also states that "68,000 women die from complications of unsafe abortion each year all in developing countries." I'm using worldwide statistics to justify why abortion should remain legal in the United States, because I believe in the advancement of a global society, not just of the United States or any other nation.
Dennis concludes, "We can only hope, as this (abortion-rights) movement continues to crumble, that mankind will forgo such narrow-mindedness, embracing a more enlightened view."
Dennis and I are probably similar people who just happen to see a different way to solve the same problem. That is unless
he isn't concerned with the true quality of life for the children of the future.
Dennis seems to want every conceived baby to have a chance to live. I want every conceived baby to have a chance to live, but only if those babies are going to be taken care of and have a chance to a decent life.
If abortion is outlawed, there will be an increase in the number of unwanted, uncared-for babies who will grow up to have unwanted, uncared for babies.
Call it mass murder, but I see population control as the cure to all different sorts of social problems, not the disease.

Take a chance and turn off your television
Students, I challenge every one of you not to "throw away your television" as Anthony Keidis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, would recommend, or even to kill your television.
Let me elaborate. People would like to think that they are their own person.
Instead I challenge you to put your television in a coma for a week or two. Where does such a rash challenge come from? Well, a little of it comes from my own experience, encounters with authors like Bradbury and Orwell, and a little from various facts and social psychological education.
To a certain extent this is true. Some students on this campus may think they have a good sense of self, while others are out to discover their own identity. Wherever you are in your own personal development, take this into consideration.
Human beings are always developing a sense of self.
How do we determine if we are fat, thin, ugly, attractive, friendly, mean, kind or cold?
Our sense of self may come from religion, spirituality, friendships, family, etc. Whatever it is, this sense of self comes from social comparison Think about it.
MICHELLE GOODRICK

I would argue that using the apparent perfection that is found in such mediums as a standard of comparison is bound to wear on anyone's self esteem. After all, can we really compete with a perfectly air-brushed model, void of cellulite? Sadly, our society's obsession with perfection makes even the most "imperfect" being appear perfect.
based upon comparisons by another individual or to another individual.
I know this reality is something that our individualistic society would like to ignore or discredit, but, time after time, and study after study proves the importance of social comparison to identity of the self.
Therefore, if the sense of self, and as a result our self-esteem, is built upon comparisons to those things that are around us, what kind of effect does television have upon the individual?
What further affects do things such as fashion magazines, video games and music have upon us?
Their hair is perfect, their teeth are perfect, their bodies are perfect, their clothes are perfect and their speech and turns of phrase are perfect.
All of these archetypes are
With all of these factors, it seems that even their lives are perfect. Sadly, many people get sucked into thinking that the mockery of reality found in television perfection is somehow attainable.
This can be discouraging when one realizes it's not. With all this in mind, I can't help but feel that an individual would be greatly helped in "making the walls stop talking."
For all of you who don't recognize this line, I suggest reading "Fahrenheit 451," and then when you're done, don't turn on any music, don't turn on the television. Sit down somewhere quiet and think.
Reflect and focus upon your own life instead of upon some superfluous plot line with false characters and false realities.
At the end of the challenge, whatever length that may be, reflect upon what you did with your time and how you feel and view things.
I cannot guarantee some kind of life epiphany, but I think you will find some part of you has changed.
