I was in my first semester of college. An acting student interrupted our class and told us that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. I called my mom after class and she shrieked into the phone. The second plane had hit. I spent the rest of my morning in the Butler Community College union watching coverage of the attacks. Little did I know, five years later, I'd be watching one of my closest friends go off to fight in a desert half the world away. Today is the last day to tell your story.

The Underground crowd grows with construction

"I feel like the construction has created more traffic," Kallas said, adding that he doesn't recall until this year seeing a standing line to get into the door.

could be the construction going on outside. Furthermore, the outside dining area has been roped off.
Shant Thomas, marketing coordinator for KU Dining Services, said he didn't think the long lines were related to the construction though. He said the construction was just a minor inconvenience because only one door was open to The Underground at the moment.
Don Steeples, vice provost for scholarly support, said that it was just a matter of The Underground being a popular place for students and that a lot of students went by there every day.
Although red and white construction signs dot the sidewalk of the entrance into the Underground proclaiming "We Are Still Open," students already seem to know this.

Planning commission has tie vote on second Wal-mart store
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
A Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Commission meeting to help determine the future of the Wal-Mart development plan at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Wakaura Drive ended in a stalemate at 1 a.m. Thursday after
five hours of deliberation.
The motion to approve the plan was denied with a 5-5 vote. The tie will send a recommendation for denial to the Lawrence City Commission, which will decide on the issue as early as Sept. 19.
The plan incudes a 99,840 square-foot Wal-Mart store with
a 6,100-square-foot garden center. Four surrounding businesses would take up 21,500 square feet and would be located in front of the store.
Todd Thompson, a Lawrence attorney representing Wal-Mart, said they had submitted a rezoning plan that he believed would be acceptable to everyone.
中
The plan would utilize only 128,000 square feet of the 154,000 square feet of space already permitted at that corner. The plan also included the new design standards that would increase the amount of green space surrounding the property.
Planning commissioners were
split over a variety of issues.
Holly Krebs, chairwoman of the planning commission and Planning Commissioner David Burress were concerned with the grocery store in the new Wal-Mart.
They argued that Sixth Street,

Strip club's donation funds Nevada school district
LAS VEGAS — The Clark County School District kicked off the first day of school Wednesday with scant resources. But it got a major donation from the scantily clad.
The nonprofit corporation that supports the nation's fifth largest school district, the Public Education Foundation, accepted a $2,500 donation from a strip club, Scores Las Vegas.
Scores raised the funds at an Aug. 23 back-to-school event called "Detention" that featured strippers who dressed as teachers, schoolgirls and librarians.
The performers peeled off clothes and offered lap dances to customers, said Scores' marketing director, Shai Cohen.
"It's back to school time and you know what that means. Detention for everyone who has been bad!" one advertisement read.

Falkenstien keeps eyes on KU Former announcer to watch first game from the stands
BY C.J. MOORE
For legendary announcer Max Falkenstien, his retirement begins this Saturday during the KU football team's season opener.
Falkenstien retired last year after 60 years of announcing KU football and basketball, but he said nothing in his life would change until the first game. But with Falkenstien's popularity, the Jayhawk Radio Network, his former employer, and the KU Athletics Department aren't going to let him go into retirement easily.
"He's definitely making a lot of appearances now. It's really funny because he's retired; however, he's Max and he'll always be part of the family." Angela Haar, ESPN Plus
general manager, said
general manager, salo.
Haar is trying to keep Falkenstein around by giving him a regular spot during football and basketball broadcasts, called "Max's Memories," where he would revisit great moments in KU sports.
KU sports.
Falkenstien came up with the idea to share sports memories this summer and pitched it to Haar over lunch one day. Once Haar finds a sponsor, "Max's Memories" will go on the air.
"People have said, 'Gee, I hope you'll keep a finger in the broadcast in some way shape or form.' So that was an idea that I had that would be fun for everybody I think — to reflect on some great moments out of the past," Falkenstien said.
The Athletics Department is also
keeping Falkenstien involved. Last spring, Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins made Falkenstien a special assistant to the athletics director. As an assistant, he has been making appearances at alumni events, like the KU Kickoff Rally last month in Prairie Village, where he addressed a crowd of 2,300 people.

Saturday, Falkenstien will be greeting alumni in Perkins' suite at Memorial Stadium. Then he'll catch the game from a new vantage point in the stands. "After 60 years, it will be very strange," Falkenstien said.

Police recover stolen paintings Munch's masterpieces found 2 years after disappearance
BY DOUG MELLGREN ASSOCIATED PRESS.
OSLO, Norway — Police recovered the Edvard Munch masterpieces "The Scream" and "Madonna" on Thursday, two years after masked gunmen grabbed the national art treasures in front of stunned visitors at an Oslo museum.
Art lovers had feared the priceless paintings were gone for good. Norwegian news media spent the months speculating about the works' fate — whether they had been burned to escape the police hunt, sold to a wealthy collector for private viewing or suffered harm in their hiding place.
"I saw the paintings myself today, and there was far from the damage
that could have been feared," said Iver Stensrud, the police inspector who headed the investigation since the paintings were taken by masked gunmen who raided the Munch Museum on Aug. 22, 2004.
Experts from the Munch Museum confirmed that the paintings, still shielded from the public and the news media, were the real thing.
"I am almost crying from happiness," said Gro Balas, chairwoman of the Munch Museum board.
Norwegians were shocked when two or three thieves in black masks entered the museum and threatened an employee with a handgun, then wrenched the two paintings off the wall and fled. Many museumgoers panicked, thinking they were being attacked by terrorists.
Many people initially thought the
paintings might be offered for ransom. Art experts said it would be nearly impossible to sell such famous pieces of art, although some people speculated an immensely rich, unscrupulous art lover might be a willing buyer.
The two paintings were on an FBI list last fall on the top 10 art thefts around the globe. Among missing works are three Rembrandts, a Vermeer, a Manet and five Degas taken from Boston's Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in 1990 and a Cezanne stolen from England's Ashmoleen Museum in 1999.
Three Norwegian men sentenced to prison in May were convicted of participating in the theft plot, but police said the masked gunmen remained at large.

New broadcaster to replace legend
For the first time in years, someone other than Falkenstien will call games
BY C.J. MOORE
David Lawrence and Max Falkenstien are like apples and oranges.
Lawrence, Falkenstien's replacement on the Jayhawk Radio Network as the color commentator, is a former football player that resembles Jesse "The Body" Ventura with his imposing size, bald dome and goatee. Falkenstien looks like everybody's grandpa. Lawrence is going to be a color analyst. Falkenstien brought the color with his legendary stories from being around Kansas athletics for more than 60 years.
Lawrence has the tall task of replacing what many call a legend and will officially take over for the retired Falkenstien this Saturday during the Kansas football team's
season opener against Northwestern State.
"I think there's less pressure, because to echo what Chris (Piper) has said, we're not going to try to be Max," Lawrence said. "We're not going to try to be the icon that he was. I'm going to try to do analysis."
In 1977, Lawrence came to Kansas to play football for Kansas. During his senior season as a Jayhawk in 1981, Lawrence was voted team captain and the Offensive Player of the Year, as well as being selected to the All-Big Eight team as an offensive
Lawrence was a natural fit to replace Falkenstein. He has been with the Jayhawk Radio Network since 1993 as the sideline reporter. He has also been around the Kansas football program in some capacity for the last 29 years.
guard.
After his playing days, Lawrence joined Don Fambrough's staff as a graduate assistant coach. Lawrence did this for two seasons before deciding that he didn't want to live the college coaching lifestyle. So, he made a career change.
"Broadcasting was the best way to stay connected. It's allowed me to stay connected to what I had a lot of fond memories of," Lawrence said.
Lawrence brings his knowledge of the game from coaching to his broadcasts. He coached ninth-grade football at South Junior High School in Lawrence for 17 years, along with his two seasons with the Jayhawks. He plans to study tape each week leading up to every game just like the coaches do and plans to share his knowledge with fans.
During the Crimson and Blue Line radio show before games, Lawrence will have a segment called "Chalk Talk with David Lawrence," where he will share the keys to the game and what he has studied of the opponent that day.
"He's our football expert," Angela Haar, ESPN Plus general manager, said.
said.
Falkenstien never claimed to be a football expert, and Lawrence isn't going to try to be a KU history buff. But, like Falkenstien, Lawrence has a Kansas connection and a love for the Jayhaws.

Cohan and Suzeau both taught at the academy in 2003 and said they looked forward to working there again.
John Lynch, director of bands will also join them to direct and train musicians to play for the dance performance.
After Cohen's visit, the dancers will perform the piece they choreographed, "Dia de los Muertos." What they do beyond that will depend on what dancers they find and how much they can accomplish during rehearsals. Their dances will be performed by professional dancers as well as students of the academy, he said.
Suzeaud said the Lithuanian dancers were exciting to work with because their technique wasn't as developed when they entered the academy, unlike dancers in the United States.
Many dancers that come to the University of Kansas have been trained for competition dance, which is designed to get applause and trophies, but is not beneficial to experimentation or artistic development, Suzeau said.
The dancers he worked with in Lithuania had a purity and passion to their movement Suzeau said.
The dancers were taught differently, with a purely Russian technique, which is different from Suzeau's own rhythmic, non-conventional approach.
Cohan said much of the country's art and culture was undergoing transformations and development.
Lithuania has a violent history of oppression and broke free from Soviet rule a little more than a decade ago.
"There so many possibilities about where the culture will go, and it's exciting to be part of it," Cohan said.
Suzeau and Cohan's experience in Lithuania this spring will give the music and dance program here international recognition.
Jerel Hilding, professor of dance, said having two professors from the Midwest travel abroad would let the world know that there was a solid dance program between the two coasts.

MANGINO (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The old deal only paid $604,000 and had him in last place in terms of guaranteed compensation according to a 'Gansan analysis in August. His new deal runs through the 2010 season.
"I'm pleased," Mangino said following Thursday's practice. "I really appreciate that (Chancellor Robert Menway) and Lew Perkins share my visions for the football program here. They've been supportive. Lew has done his best since he got here, in small ways that people don't see, to help the football program get better."
The contract was put into effect retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year. Athletics Director Lew Perkins said how the back pay would be delivered was not yet determined.
With the new contract, Mangino now ranks fifth among Big 12 football coaches, tying him with Nebraska's Bill Callahan, who also makes $1.5 million a year.
Perkins said Mangino's new guaranteed salary was a fair amount for a coach in his position.
"It's what we think we should be paying our coach at this University
at this particular time" Perkins said. "I think this is what a lot of good coaches are making now."
Under the new contract,
Mangino's base salary increases
from $128,438
to $220,000. The coach will also be paid $1.28 million for public appearances and radio and television shows. He was previously

Perkins said the incentives in the new contract would be drastically different from those in Mangino's previous deal. Under his previous agreement, Mangino received bonuses for defeating rivals Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas State, victories on television and players' graduation rates, among other things. Incentives in the new contract are heavily based on winning conference and national championships, as well as receiving coach of the year honors.

contract if the program is hit with major NCAA sanctions, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director. Kansas should find out within the next few weeks if the NCAA intends to order additional sanctions for misconduct throughout the department, including some misconduct in football dating back to Mangino's arrival.
Among the most serious charges leveled against Mangino and his program are academic fraud committed by former graduate assistant coaches.
Entering his fifth season at Kansas, Mangino has a 19-29
record. While his record is certainly well below 500, the program has won key games that snapped long losing streaks to Kansas State and Nebraska in the past two seasons. Mangino also guided the Jayhawks to their first winning season and bowl victory in 10 years.
The program has made steady improvement off the field, as well. Last spring, the football team set a team record with a 2.67 grade-point average. The program is also set to move into a new office complex at Memorial Stadium before the 2008 season. The $31-million Anderson Family Football Complex includes a new team locker room, coaches' offices, weight room, academic support area and training room. Earlier this week, Kansas Athletics announced that the program had broken a season ticket record by selling more than 28,000 season tickets for the upcoming season.
With all the momentum currently surrounding the program, Perkins said he felt it was right to have the deal signed before this season kicked off and give the program stability.
"I think the message is that he's
part of our family and we want him to be here for a long period of time," Perkins said. "He's done a great job."
Despite the fact that the NCAA could impose further sanctions, Perkins said that possibility didn't affect the negotiations.
"I don't think that was an issue for us," Perkins said. "We have not seen in any way that he was implicated or going to be charged. I'm very comfortable with where we're at on that."
With the new deal in place, Mangino said he wa now able to focus solely on football for the rest of the season.
"I just felt I have to focus on winning football games and the players come first, that's just the way we want it to be," Mangimo said. "It wouldn't be fair to the players to deal with an issue that has nothing to do with the players."

UNDERGROUND (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Edited by Erin Wiley
12:15 p.m. — Class gets out and immediately people begin to stream toward the entrance.
Getting into the Hawk Shop next to The Underground becomes a struggle as a constant stream of students exit the dining area. Inside the Hawk Shop, a line has formed from the one register, around a rack of candy, to the door.
12:35 p.m. — Inside, a dull roar of voices fills The Underground as some students eat in the dining area and some wait in line. There are no empty tables, and the lines at the seven cash registers stretch back to Chick-fil-A at the opposite end of the food court. A worker changing the trash has to wait as people go into and exit the food court.
Chicago sophomore, stand at the back of the line.
Koehn said she thought the lines were worse this year than last year, but didn't know why. She said she tried to avoid The Underground because of the long lines and because there were so many people.
Thomas said that The Underground has been busier than in previous years, with this year's current number of customers about 3,400 per day. He added that the busiest day so far had more than 4,000 customers served. Mrs. Es, the residence hall's dining facility, gets about 3,000 customers per day.
He said that from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., about 2,500 customers come through The Underground daily.
"It itucks if you have class at 1 oclock, and I do," Kohn said.
12:40 p.m. — Tess Koehn,
Hays sophomore, and Linus Coy,
12:45 p.m. — The line is at a standstill.
"It's easier to get KU basketball tickets than it is to pay for your lunch." Coy said.
12:47 p.m. — Koehn and Coy finally make it to the cashiers and are surprised to find out that it had only taken them seven minutes to get from the end of the line. But they add that the time they spent getting into The Underground and getting their food was probably about 15 minutes, not including their wait in line.
Thomas said the times when the lines were the shortest were before 11:30 a.m. and after 1:30 p.m.

University of Kansas students, staff and faculty rush through checkout lines in The Underground, the recently opened dining facility in the basement of Wesco Hall. According to Shant Thomas, marketing coordinator for KU Dining Services, The Underground an average of $3,400 in transactions every weekday. According to Thomas, the facility has not experienced any drop in sales because of the ongoing construction in Wesco.

which already has two grocery stores within a mile of one another, could not support a third.
"We're years away from being able to absorb this space," McClure said. "We already have a huge inventory of empty space."
Many Lawrence residents were also concerned. Kirk McClure, associate professor of architecture and urban design, said Lawrence couldn't afford new commercial development at this point.
Some members of the West
Lawrence Neighborhood Association spoke out against the plan saying that an increase in traffic, especially when Lawrence Freestate High School was in session, would be troublesome.
But not all residents were discouraged by the plan. Greg DibVilbiss, owner of the shopping center at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive, encouraged the planning commission to approve the plan.
"It would protect the other store owners at Sixth and Wakarusa with an anchor store." DIVibliss said.
borhood that will include homes, apartments, shops and offices — the northeast corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive had the potential to be the nicest corner in Lawrence.
Angie Stoner, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman, said the store would now have to take its chances with the city commission.
"Of course we would have liked to have gotten recommendation for approval." Stoner said. "We feel this site is appropriate for this store.

Site features dogs with disabilities
BY BEN SMITH
Cassie the three-legged mutt exchanges courtesy sniffs with other dogs in the park while her owners, Cynthia and Kurt Davis, look on with smiling eyes.
Cassie, who is 14 years old, or 98 in dog years, lost her right front leg when she was less than a year old. She was chasing a Frisbee into the street when she was hit by a van. But that hasn't stopped her from having own her Web site.
During the last 10 years, www. cassiesclub.com has grown to include more than 250 dogs from around the nation and even the world, including Canada and Italy. These dogs suffer from some form of disability that deprives them of the use of one or more of their legs.
Cynthia and her husband, Kurt, adopted Cassie from the Lawrence Humane Society in 1996. Cassie, then four years old or, 28 in dog years, had been kept for about six months while waiting for a home.
"I'd never seen a three-legged dog before," said Cynthia, administrative associate senior with the KU Army ROTC. "So I started the Web site."
Cynthia developed Cassie's Club as a place where pet owners could share stories about their special friends.
The Davises love to tell stories about their beloved pet, whom they still occasionally take on excursions down Massachusetts Street and across the University of Kansas campus.
"She's been swimming in the Chi Omega fountain," Cynthia said. "We're going to have to let her christen the new Docking fountain."
The Davises have had a lot of fun with their dog, taking her out exploring the city, playing Frisbee and even dressing her up on Halloween.
"One year we took her out dressed as Captain Hook," Kurt said.
Though arthritis now affects Cassie's left front paw, she still manages to go out occasionally with her owners. The Davises have even converted a baby carriage to accommodate her.
Cynthia said that her experiences with Cassie have enlightened her.
The Lawrence Humane Society has taken in about 2,000 animals since January, about half their yearly average. They have an 85 percent adoption rate.
"I suppose if I were to sum up my role in a nutshell. I would say I'm mostly an interpreter," Cynthia said. "Dogs don't know English, so I'm the go-between."
Cynthia said she viewed it as her mission to tell the world that dogs with disabilities are every bit as capable as their four-legged counterparts.

Alicia is so very proud of her dog. She is always there for him and helps him learn how to walk. Alicia also helps me with the dog's training. He is a loyal friend.
Cynthia Davis, administrative associate senior with the KU Army ROTC, enjoys Lawrence's South Park with her dog, Cassie, who lost a leg when hit by a van in traffic. Davis started Cassie's Club, a Web site dedicated to dogs who have lost one or more of their legs.

Seethal Madhavarapu, a specialist in sports medicine, enjoys applying his sports experiences to treating athletic injuries. He will work a lot with intramural athletes as well as general medical patients.
HEALTH
Doctor fills Watkins' sports medicine needs
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
A new doctor at Watkins Memorial Health Center is barely removed from his college years.
Seethal Madhavarapu, a specialist in sports medicine, started working at Watkins in early August.
A self-proclaimed "sports junkie," the 31-year-old Madhavapu dreamed of being a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs as a child. He walked on to Baylor's baseball team, but he had to quit after a knee injury his freshman year.
"I enjoyed my time and I wish things maybe would have worked out a little better, but I guess becoming a doctor's not a bad second career choice" he said.
After his injury, Madhavarapu played intramural sports.
"I've had my fair share of injuries over the years, so that played a big factor in deciding what I wanted to do," Madhavarapu said.
He received his bachelor's degree from Baylor and then went to medical school at the University of Oklahoma, where he completed a sports medicine fellowship last year before coming to the University of Kansas.
Watkins staff physician Leah Luckeroth said Watkins had a huge need for a good sports medicine doctor.
"He has a good fund of knowledge and he's very well trained," Luckeroth said. "We're very happy to have him."
Madhavarapu will fill the shoes of Larry Magee, the former sports medicine specialist at Watkins, who took a full-time job with the KU
Athletics Department.
Madhavarapu said he spent equal time in both sports medicine and general medicine. He see mostly intramural sports injuries, but occasionally he works at the Athletics Department with KU athletes.
"I really wanted the experience of working with athletes," he said. He said the diversity of people and sports attracted him to a college job.
"I think a job like this is pretty much an ideal opportunity," Madhavarapu said. "This may be the place I stay for the rest of my life and the perfect opportunity for me. Only time will tell."

of the Freedom Tower memorial for the World Trade Center site, will give a lecture entitled "Breaking Ground" at 8 p.m. Sept. 20 at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The lecture is free.
"He's a very well-known and highly regarded international architect," Gaunt said. "He's got a lot of recent work and a lot of very high profile work."
Gaunt said the Freedom Tower could be an interesting topic because it is such a daunting task.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design, said he expected Libeskind to focus mostly on his most recent work and his more famous international works, including the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
"It's interesting and controversial," Gaunt said. "How do you memorialize anything that big? It's a huge project of huge international interest."
Libeskind's concept for the memorial was chosen in an international contest. Since then, other
architects have been added to the planning, which Gaunt said has complicated the design process.
Susan Hoffman, assistant director of Union programs, said the timing of the lecture — nine days after the five-year anniversary of Sept. 11 — was no coincidence. Hoffman said SUA had tried to schedule the lecture for a date even closer to the anniversary, but Libeskind had been scheduled to be out of the country.
Gaunt said the arrangements to bring Libeskind to the University were made by Peter Pran, professor of architecture, who has known Libeskind for many years. The lecture is being presented by the School of Architecture and Urban Design in conjunction with Student Union Activities.

No reason to tear down goal posts this season
With the start of the football season this Saturday, it's time to remind students that if the goalposts come down once — just once — for any reason, the University of Kansas is going to be laughed at.
The program completed its legitimacy checklist last year when the Jayhawks defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers for the first time in 36 tries. Winning a game during this era of Jayhawk football shouldn't come as a surprise anymore.
Last season, the student body broke the record for most goalposts torn down in a season, making three trips to Potter Lake. There is no need to make a splash in Potter Lake this season, or for any other season for that matter.
Students should follow the ritual of other major college football programs after a win. They stand up and cheer, waive their school colors and are thankful to win another game. There's no
Football coach Mark Mangino has reiterated that he wanted the University to be considered a football and basketball school. He has done his part by taking the program to two bowl games and beating the likes of Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska during his time.
charging the field and tearing down the goal posts — that's for teams with low expectations.
Now it's time students do their part. Act as if we're supposed to win. You don't see students charging the court after a big-time win at Allen Fieldhouse.
The time has finally come where we expect both the men's basketball team and football team to win. As the season continues for the Jayhawks, remember: We're no longer the cellar dwellers of the Big 12 Conference. We're now contenders.

Mangino: 'Cheer with class'
Dear Students,
Tomorrow evening we will kick off the 2006 football season at Memorial Stadium. Through your loyalty and enthusiasm, Memorial Stadium has become one of the most exciting venues for football in the Big 12 Conference.
I also want to remind you to
cheer with class. Always remember, you represent KU.
On behalf of our players and coaches, I want to thank you for being the loudest and most energized student section in the count try!
Finally, enjoy the game and cheer loud, but don't come on the playing field at any time. Stay in the stands and celebrate. Our players always expect to win, and you should as well!
Let's make winning a habit
— and cheering responsibly too!
See you at the stadium!

Beware, the Age of O'Reilly has dawned
Sing something for me. The melody should be familiar. It goes like this: "This is the dawning of the Age of O'Reilly / the Age of O'Reilly / ORIHIYE-LLLYY"
Okay, that's enough. People are starting to stare. What exactly is the "Age of O'Reilly", since it is clearly not the climax of a counter-culture rock musical? It is simply a name for the state of the general political landscape, where angry, partisan politics have escaped the chambers of the Senate and flooded not only the news media, but everyday life.
Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican defines you as much as what you wear nowadays. This aspect of the always vague "Culture Wars" that have supposedly raged through time immemorial can find its roots in the media, Bill O'Reilly is the namesake, really because of his popularity.
In print, people can read at their leisure and writers have time to
BY BEN COHEN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
A proud tradition of the newspaper is the op-ed section, where a few angry scribes like yours truly can give their own opinions on the news of the world. Writers get to speak their minds about popular subjects and readers get a say in it as well.
Now, look at television and radio. Keeping an audience for a radio or TV talk show is a more complicated matter than a weekly column in a newspaper. If someone doesn't like what they hear, they change the channel or station, ratings go down, advertisers run away and talk show hosts lose their jobs.
The last time Phil Donahue had a talk show, he suffered that fate for being too dull, a heinous crime in the entertainment industry. And so what you get on shows like "Hardball" and "Hannity and Colmes" is entertainment.
Righteous indignation can be sold on TV because it makes the speaker appear to really care about the subject at hand more than anyone else. Let's go back to Bill O'Reilly, look at what he does on his show. If a guest disagrees, there's no
time for a thoughtful debate. The sponsors don't want it cutting into their time.
No, when that happens, O'Reilly goes caveman, shouting at and insulting the offending guest until the guest relents, and if that doesn't work, he cuts the guest's microphone so his loyal fans don't have to hear the lies.
Partially, this can be blamed on his not wanting people to get the full story — not if it contradicts him. But also, it ruins his image. If people don't get what they seek from this raging ideologue, they'll go to another because they are conditioned to want one thing: gratification.
None of this would matter if it were all limited to the TV, but it clearly isn't. Talk to a friend who holds differing political views than you and try and get into a debate about some hot, divisive issue. You will start out assuming that you're getting into an intellectual discussion, but you will inevitably start to hate each other, if only briefly.
Those popular Cro-Magnons on the television have become so popular that normal people are starting to talk like them. Actual liberals and conservatives, not just commentators, believe that they have to be mortal enemies.
When he appeared last year on CNN's long-running political argument show, "Crossfire", comedian Jon Stewart famously reamed host Tucker Carlson and the program in general for how it was degrading our culture. Many people eventually saw the clip online, and CNN had to go as far as canceling "Crossfire" to save face, but they replaced it with Glenn Beck, another O'Reilly-style rant lunatic.
Similarly, "60 Minutes" quickly canceled a heavily-hyped pointcounterpoint segment featuring Bill Clinton and Bob Dole a few years ago because they were not confrontational enough, replacing it with opinion-meister Andy Rooney.
opinion-matter. Are they healthy?
Civil discourse isn't dead, but
it's not exactly in good health. The
media feeds us petty bickering as if
it were all that we want, and sadly,
that may be true.
We reject educational value for entertainment, and so that all we get. It's the Age of O'Reilly, and it's not one to celebrate.

COMMENTARY
Your vote may decide more than you think
Why does the Kansas governor's race affect you? There is an easy answer.
The state of Kansas has a major impact on the amount of money we pay to our beloved public university. And if you ask any adult why KU students should care about who is in the executive office here in Kansas, that is exactly what they'll tell you. While funding for colleges is an extremely important topic, I'd like to remind those people who haven't been in college for a while that we have other things on our mind as well.

it clear that she supports the use of stem cells for medical research.
Another important issue Sebellus has addressed is heath care. Last spring Sebellus singed a law that required all universities and colleges to vaccinate their incoming freshmen who live in student housing against meningitis, a deadly disease that has a greater potential to affect people living in large group situations.
Clearly, this is just one example of how the governor of Kansas directly affects students (in-state and out-of-state) at the University of Kansas.
We know that the upcoming governor's race is important. The next step is to register to vote. You can do this at the Douglas County Courthouse (right across from Brother's on Mass) or at one of the tables on Wescoe beach that will be set up throughout the semester. Monday, Oct. 23, is the deadline to register.
The Kansan reported on April 27 that the University has had a meningitis vaccination policy since Aug. 2005. The policy was influenced by KU alumnus Andy Marso, who contracted the disease in April 2004.
I highly recommend that even if
you are not from Kansas you register to vote here and participate in the politics that are affecting you right now. Step two, when to vote: Tuesday, Nov. 7 — mark it on your calendar now.
But I encourage you to vote no matter what. Even if Kansas is only your home for a few years, you have a responsibility to educate yourself and vote.
My vote will be going to Gov. Sebelius because of her support of education on all levels, her support of stem cell research and her genuine understanding of what is best for Kansas.

With final preparations for his first game as a Jayhawk wrapping up, Kerry Meier can feel the nervousness setting in.
It's not that he's worried, but it's more that Meier, a redshirt-freshman quarterback, is just ready to get the season started.
"Each day, I think about it a little more and a little more," Meier said. "But I think once that first play gets under way, it'll be smooth sailing from there."
And for that first play?
"I'd like to start off with a passing play," Meier said with a laugh. "But we have Jon Cornish back there, and we're in good hands when we give the ball to him."
At least three freshman defenders — linebacker Maxwell Oyebuleg, cornerback Anthony Webb and safety Olaitan Oguntodu — will see the first action of their college careers on Saturday night. All are listed as backups. Despite the inexperience, Mangino said he wasn't worried about younger players seeing time early in the season.

"The first game in college football is the most dangerous of the year," Mangino said. "You don't know what you have and you don't know what you're playing."
"We expect these young guys to play at a high standard and they expect the same thing. They have a swagger about them."
Even with all the snaps Kansas coach Mark Mangino has seen Meier and his teammates take over the last month, he still has yet to see them play against someone not wearing a blue or white uniform. That fact makes Saturday's game against Northwestern State a tough one to predict.

rest belong to freshmen, redshirt freshmen and sophomores who will get their first crack at significant defensive playing time on Saturday.
That young defense will have the task of stopping Demons' junior quarterback Ricky Joe Meeks. As the backup last season, Meeks saw action in seven games, completing nearly 61 percent of his passes, throwing one touchdown and one interception. Like Meier, Mangino said Meeks was a quarterback capable of scrambling outside the pocket when needed.

Cal Invitational provides tough games

Leave it to Mark Francis to find the bright side of what could be viewed as a bad situation.
Kansas' soccer game against Loyola Marymount, its second game of the season, was rained out on Sunday, but the coach isn't worried about his young team's lack of game experience.
gametips
"It would've been nice to play,
but I don't see it as a negative," Francis said. "Now we're a lot more rested."
The Jayhawks travel to Berkeley, Calif., this weekend for games against nationally ranked California and Saint Mary's at the Cal Invitational.
No matter how refreshed Kansas is, it cannot afford to start any more games as poorly as it did last week against Furman. The Jayhawks (1-0-0) won 3-0, but they were only able to pull away in the second half; after some choice words at halftime from Francis.
"I think we started off the game kind of slow," sophomore forward Sara Rogers said. "He shouldn't have to get on us, but it definitely motivated us, and we played a lot better in the second half."
Francis addressed the issue of playing with more energy in the first half.
California (2-0-0) should provide a greater challenge for Kansas than Furman did last week. The Golden Bears are currently ranked 10th in the nation in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Alditas soccer poll and defaced Big 10 schools Indiana and Wisconsin last week. Valerie
first that.
"It mainly about preparation in the locker room," Francis said. "I told the girls to make sure they don't come out and play like that against Cal."
Depth on offense will be key for Kansas to defeat California, Rogers, senior forward Lovey Novak and freshman forward Monica Dolinsky led the jawhaws' balanced scoring attack against Furman. The three forwards, who had one career goal between them before Friday, and the 10 other players who attempted shots showed that anybody is capable of scoring on this year's team.
Barnes scored both goals in the two 1-0 victories and is one of five returning starters from last year's Sweet Sixteen team.
"We've got a lot of people who can finish," Francis said. "It gives us better opportunities out front and makes us a little bit harder to defend against."
California may be nationally
ranked, but Kansas faces another test Sunday at noon when it squares off against Saint Mary's. First-year coach Kelly Lindsey has led the Gaels to a 1-10 record.
With two highly touted teams lining up against Kansas this weekend, Francis is sure his team will come out with something beneficial.
"If we can get a result playing against good competition, that's great." Francis said. "But they will also help prepare us for the conference season."

Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter knocks the bat toward UMKC's Caitlin Koenig, freshman redshirt setter and Sarah Johnson, junior red shirt midiole hitter, during Tuesday's game in Horeksi Family Athletics Center.
"I'm really excited to see all the players and my friends up there," Morningstar said.
"We're real excited about going to Temple this weekend," coach Ray Bechard said. "I think there is a certain level of momentum we can carry over, but we've got to get better before we head to Tempe."
To get better, the Jayhawks must improve their serving, where they committed 17 service errors Tuesday.
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, said it was just going to take time before the Jayhawks found their niche in serving.
Kansas swept Temple, an Atlantic 10 school, in Lawrence last season at the Jayhawk Invitational, the first meeting between the two schools.
Fresh from defeating UMKC on Tuesday, Kansas is ready for this weekend's tournament.
"We're working hard every day, and we'll be ready," she said.
Delaware swept Temple on Tuesday for Temple's first loss of the season. Yue Lui, junior outside hitter, leads Temple's team with 4.23 kills per game. In the loss against Delaware, Lui had 14 kills, 12 digs and three blocks.

Kansas will get an early wake-up call Saturday. It will take on Maine from the America East Conference at 9 a.m., also in Temple's McGonigle Hall. The Black Bears have yet to win this season, and since a good attack percentage is anything above .4, their .067 attack percentage explains why.

» WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
Quarterback should make for exciting football
Thirty-five freshmen and redhirt freshmen will play their first college football game tomorrow, but all eyes at Memorial Stadium should be focused on just one: Kerry Meier.
After last season's debacle at the quarterback position, some are touting Meier as one of the best freshman quarterbacks that Kansas has ever had. Had he played last year, Kansas could have beaten Oklahoma and Kansas State for sure, and it probably would have beaten Texas Tech as well. That would have translated to a 10-2 record and a Big 12 North title.
BY B.J. RAINS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
BRAINS@KANSAN.COM
But he didn't play last year because coach Mark Mangino decided to redshirt him. As Kansas
tried Adam Barmann, Brian Luke,
Jason Swanson and even Marcus
Herford at the quarterback position.
Meier stood on the sidelines.
Just the thought of having a quarterback who can lead an offense already has me counting down the minutes until tomorrow evening's game. I have heard the hype, and the comparisons to his three older brothers who all played college football, and I have seen him several times in practice. Playing in practice, though, is a lot different than playing in a game. It won't be easy for the Pittsburg native because a lot of pressure is being put on him.
Not since Mangino coached NAIA football at the beginning of his coaching career he has started the season with a freshman quarterback. Kansas has not started a freshman at quarterback in the team's opening game of the season in more than 30 years, according to Mason Logan in the Kansas media relations office. Because freshmen did not gain eligibility until about that time, Logan said it was possible Meier could be the first freshman
in school history to start the team's opening game of the season, but because records do not go back that far, we can't know for sure.
Add the awful quarterbacks last season, and Meier is being asked to do a lot. He shouldn't have to do it all himself, though. He has the entire offensive line returning from 2005, which will help keep him from being sacked.
Most importantly, however, is the return of leading rusher Jon Cornish. Though he was the backup to Clark Green last season, Cornish led the Jayhawks in every rushing category. The double threat of passing the ball and running the ball will be something that Kansas has
not had in some time.
When you watch the game tomorrow, keep your eyes on No. 10. Classified by many as the most important player on the team this year, even hailed as the savior for KU football, he has a chance to be one of the best quarterbacks in Kansas history. You, also, should be excited.
Kerry Meier.
Yes, you can be excited for the drinking and tailgating, but if for nothing else, be excited for one reason.

Kansas City soccer team sold,but will stay in area
BY STEVE BRISENDINE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK — Almost two years after they went on the block, the Kansas City Wizards have been sold to a local investment group headed by Cerner Corp. executives Neal Patterson and Cliff Illig.
The new owners, who take over operations of the club Friday, promised to keep the Major League Soccer team in the area. Terms of the sale agreement were not disclosed, although Patterson said it was a cash transaction using the owner's personal funds,
The deal was announced Thursday, three days after Overland Park's city council voted to put a $75 million soccer complex on the November ballot. The new ownership group, OneGoal LLC, hopes to have the Wizards' stadium built in that complex.
Even if that doesn't happen, Patterson said at a news conference, he and the other owners are committed to staying in the region.
"It's a done deal" he said. "There are no contingencies. We're entrepreneurs."
Hunt, who has owned the Wizards since the league began play in 1996, said finding a local buyer was a high priority.
"I'm especially pleased to see us consummate this transaction with the end result that the Wizards will stay in Kansas City, in the Kansas City metropolitan area," Hunt said.
Patterson and Illig are co-founders of Cerner, a medical software design company based in North Kansas City, Mo. Patterson is the chairman and chief executive officer, and Illig is the vice chairman.
The Wizards now play in Arrowhead Stadium, also home to the NFLs Kansas City Chiefs. Hunt also owns the Chiefs and two other MLS franchises — FC Dallas and
the columbus Crew — through his family's Hunt Sport Group.
Extensive renovations planned for Arrowhead would have forced the Wizards to look for a new home anyway, and MLS also is pushing for its teams to play in soccer-specific stadiums.
The new owners said Thursday that they hoped to have the new stadium open for the 2009 season and would look for an interim home in Johnson County — on the Kansas side of the two-state metropolitan area — until then.
OneGoal takes over with Kansas City in fourth place in MLS' Eastern Conference, headed into the final weeks of the regular season. The Wizards are clinging to the conference's final playoff spot, one point in the standings behind New England and one point ahead of New York.
Wizards forward Josh Wolff, who earlier this season called the drawn-out sale process a "joke" and a distraction, said he was relieved to
see a deal reached to keep the team in the Kansas City area.
"I'm certainly one that's doubted this process," Wolff said. "I'm elated for the fans and the players. We certainly deserve it. The last two years have been pretty poor, so to have it end — and to have great new owners — is fantastic."
Despite their onfield success in recent years — winning the MLS Cup in 2000 and reaching the finals again in 2004, the same year they won the U.S. Open Cup — the team's low gate figures have been a concern.
The Wizards' average home attendance is 10,313,the lowest in the 12-team league and almost 5.000 fans below the MLS average.
The fans are there, Patterson said. It's just up to the club to put them in the seats.
in this community, there is a huge soccer fan contingent and fan base," he said. "We have to make sure we reach out to that group, and
we have to reach out to the corporate side of Kansas City. When we build a new stadium, we believe we'll fill it."
MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who attended Thursday's news conference, had said the Wizards would likely be sold and moved — with Philadelphia as the most likely candidate for a new home — if a local buyer could not be found.
"I was trying to manage expectations," he said. "This was something that took a long time to put together, and I'm very pleased that it happened. It took a lot of hard work."
With the league expanding into Toronto next season and hoping to add three more clubs by 2010, Philadelphia is still a leading candidate to get a team, Garber said.
"We're still very bullish about Philly," he said. "It had the potential of being a move team, and now we'll focus our efforts there on the next level of expansion."
FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
As for his own quarterback,
"He is a smart player who doesn't make a lot of mistakes and he gives his team a chance to make plays," Mangino said. "We don't want to let him get into a rhythm."

Mangino said besides winning the game, hed set no specific goals for Meier.
"We just want him to go out there and do all the things we ask him to do," Mangino said. "We will not ask him to do things he is not prepared to do at this time."
At wide receiver, Mangino has named three starters after a training camp battle that saw at least six different players competing for starting spots. Seniors Dominic
Mangino has been high on his receivers throughout training camp. He's consistently referred to the group as one of the team's most improved units. Meier said he noticed vast improvement in the wide receivers since the beginning of camp.

Texas Tech tops Big 12 forecast
Presence polls in college football are as useless as a cup holder on a jackhammer: the premise sounds necessary for each, but it tends to get messy.
Without a playoff system, preseason polls have a way of setting teams' postseason fates in stone before the players even get to take the field.
I don't advocate preseason polls in college football, but after 11 days of Big 12 previews, I thought I should give my opinion on how the conference would shake down.
Bottom of the barrel (Oklahoma State, Kansas State)
Of Oklahoma State's 22 starters on offense and defense,10 will be sophomores or freshmen.
So unless Boone Pickens, who donated to the university's football program before this season, donates a few million dollars to one of OSU's conference opponents, the Cowboys won't win a Big 12 game in 2006.
If Kansas State coach Ron Prince isn't careful, he will soon be dubbed the "Pied Piper of Manhattan" for his ability to chase players out of town. The already fraying Wildcats will manage one conference win, thanks to Oklahoma State.
As for Missouri, it couldn't even win with quarterback Brad Smith last year.
ALEXANDER
Better luck next year (lowa State)
This year's Iowa State team might be its best ever. However, the Cyclones will face five opponents in a six-week period that will field better teams.
BY SHAWN SHROYER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
SSHROYER@KANSAN.COM
Iowa State's first test starts with in-state rival and Big 10 powerhouse Iowa on the road.
Then Iowa State gets to play Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Tech in its first four conference games.
The Cyclones' record not only won't live up to their preseason billing as the second best team in the North, it won't even make them bowl eligible.
Going bowling
(Texas A&M, Baylor,
Colorado)
My next three teams are Texas A&M, Baylor and Colorado. The Aggies and Buffaloes will have new starting quarterbacks this year, but their supporting casts will lead them to bowls. But enough about them; I want to talk about Baylor.
Baylor will make a bowl game in 2006. Listening to coach Guy Morris and talking to players like senior cornerback C.J.Wilson at the Big 12 Media Days, I came away very impressed with their confidence.
That week, Oklahoma State representatives acted like they'd already went 0-12, but Baylor seemed ready to make a Big 12 Championship acceptance speech.
Baylor won't challenge for the South title, but it will take its non-conference opponents off-guard and use that momentum to win a few Big 12 games and reach a bowl game.
Hook'em (Texas)
I'm so sick of hearing about Texas, I've renounced watching SportsCenter.
Listen up, Mack Brown groupies: Texas will not repeat as national champion, as Big 12 champion, as South champion, and it will not beat Oklahoma again this year. Texas will not even be the best team in Texas in 2006.
That's because Vince Young is gone. Without Young last year, Texas would have lost to Ohio State, to Oklahoma State and it wouldn't have had the chance to lose to USC. Without Young this year, Texas loses to Ohio State, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas Tech.
A pair of freshmen can't replace Young's intangibles, but Texas will still compete in the conference.
Brace yourself (Kansas)
Kansas isn't really the fourth-best team in the conference. Five teams are better. However, Kansas only plays two of them: Nebraska and Iowa State. Nebraska will start a new winning streak against Kansas this year, but Iowa State will be ravaged by its early season schedule by the time it plays the Jayhawks.
Although Kansas has won only one of its last 13 road games, that will change this year. In the middle of last season, Kansas went four weeks without playing at home. This year, Kansas doesn't have any back-to-back road trips.
As Kansas proved last season, it takes pride in winning any game at home, so a win on the road against Toledo will give Kansas the confidence it needs for its remaining road games.
Crimson and Scarlet (Oklahoma and Nebraska)
boast a Blackshirt defense that will make Husker Nation proud again. An early season loss at USC and a four-point loss to Texas Tech in the Big 12 title game will be the only blemishes on Nebraska's record.
Coach Mike Leach might have his most inexperienced starting quarterback since 2001, but anyone could play quarterback in Leach's system and put up 4,000 passing yards. Graham Harrell may be a sophomore, but he will be the best quarterback in the South this season.
Classic rivals O k l a h o m a and Nebraska appeared to be on a collision course for the Big 12 Championship. However, former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar's exceptional work at a car dealership landed him at Sam Houston State.
Stud quarterbacks are nothing new at Texas Tech, though. What will take Texas Tech to the top of the Big 12 is a defense that will start nine upperclassmen. Of the nine, six have seen significant playing time since they were freshmen. In the ultimate team sport, that much experience together is invaluable. Even on the rare days Texas Tech's offense sputters, this defense will take over and lead the Red Raiders to victory.
Hold the drum roll (Texas Tech)
Kansas isn't really the fourth-best team in the conference. Five teams are better.
I'm not jumping ship on Oklahoma, though. Having senior Paul Thompson at quarterback is better than having two freshmen quarterbacks. Thompson has experience at the position, and his background at wide receiver gives him a Vince Young-like quality, faint as it may be.
Oklahoma also has a stout defense that only Texas Tech will be able to penetrate effectively enough to hand Oklahoma a loss.
As for the Cornhuskers, they will flourish in coach Bill Callahan's west-coast offense this year and
Call me crazy, call me delusional or to quote the movie Snatch,
"Call me
Susan if it makes you happy," but this is my preseason Big 12 poll. I don't
ask that you agree with it, but take comfort in that this
preseason poll won't crush any teams' bowl hopes.

MTV Video Music Awards labled dull; lack show-stopping flair
BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Where are Eminem and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog when you need them?
Despite Shakira's ever-gyrating hips, Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" and the obscured image of a naked midgett, Thursday's MTV Video Music Awards had about as much spontaneity as an episode of "Cribs."
"You didn't bring the thunder. You didn't bring anything," host Jack Black, looking at himself in his dressing room mirror, said during one skit, unintentionally summing up the evening.
Pink's parody of bubble-headed pop tarts, "Stupid Girls," won for best pop video; Beyonce took home a trophy for her booty-shaking
"Check On It"; British crooner James Blunt won best male video for his "Beautiful"; and Fall Out Boy won the viewer's choice award for their clip "Dance, Dance."
But nobody but a video choreographer's mother watches this show for the awards. Fans watch for the eye-popping moments: FCC-flaunting skits, nearly naked starlets, foul-mouthed rockers and rappers and those embarassingly bad dance numbers.
They do NOT watch for lectures from former Vice President Al Gore on global warming. When does the phrase "here's a photo of a glacier melting" ever fit into an awards show?
Somewhere along the way, the MTV Awards seemed to have morphed into the Grammys. Christina Aguilera, who previously shocked our senses as the dirty Xtina, looked downright classy as she performed a low-key ballad. And there were no malfunctions whatsoever during Timberlake's perfunctory show kickoff.
"This show has been lame farts for the past 20 years," Black said before he took the stage Thursday night for his opening sketch. "And I'm going to light the match!"
Instead, Black continued a trend. He had a promising bit that poked fun at the show's increasingly staid reputation. Painting himself as the man to inject life back into the VMAs, he took to the stage in a moonman outfit — which caught fire.
But Black's shtick quickly got old. Even Lil' Kim, who once appeared at the VMAs wearing a pasty on one breast, failed to get the party started. Recently released from prison after serving time for perjury, she stripped off an orange jail suit to reveal ... something that resembled a funky business suit. Hillary Clinton has worn more revealing outfits.
Though the MTV Awards have never laced star power — last year, Diddy acted as host and stars ranging from Eva Longoria to Jessica Simpson and then-hubby Nick Lachie squeezed themselves into the spotlight — that trademark water-cooler MTV moment hasn't materialized recently (like Einemem punching out a puppet).
This year, the disturbing trend of normalcy continued. Shakira and Wylecje lean performed a colorful but rote performance of her smash "Hips Don't Lie"; Ludacris and Pharrell posed their way through "Showstopper." Not even Britney
Spears and. Kevin Federline could strike a spark.
There was just one proftanity-laced acceptance speech, courtesy of the rock group AFI, whose frontman accepted the award for best group video by saying: "We just won a moonman — I am getting so trashed tonight!"
The night's hottest new couple, new buddies 50 Cent and LL Cool J, introduced one of the awards. But 50, perhaps with no more foes to beef with, was almost Zen-like onstage and offering no fun disses to excite the crowd.
The lack of outrageousness almost made you long back to the days when Michael Jackson was making out with Lisa Marie Presley — that was creepy, but at least it kept us talking.
Beyonce got some points for at
least trying to do something that resembled a show-stopper. Singing her call-to-arms, the anti-heating single "Ring the Alarm," she appeared on stage wearing a sexy trench coat and a searing gaze.
But while her voice was in perfect form, the performance was disjointed, and the out-of-place dance number in the middle seemed to rip off the choreography from Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" almost 20 years earlier.
Still, she managed to keep things interesting — which could hardly be said for the rest of the evening. At one point, the crew from the MTV grossout show "jackass" gave one of its members an electric shock, jolting his system.

KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas enters the 2006 season on a wave of optimism after last season's victory in the Fort Worth Bowl. Advancing to a bowl for the second straight season won't be an easy task, though. The Jayhawks are replacing most of last season's senior leaders with freshmen or sophomores, many of whom will be starters. The season will ride on whether those younger players can step up and fill the void. If so, Kansas will be bowling for a second straight season; if not, this year could get ugly.
5 QUICK FACTS
6 — the number of consecutive home victories.
5 — the number of players who will miss Saturday's game because of injury or suspension
60 — the percentage of Kansas' rushing attack that returns this season.
1 — the number of Jayhawks named to the preseason All-Big 12 First team.
4 the number of wins Kansas averages following a bowl season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Kerry Meiler. All eyes will be on the redshirt-freshman quar
terback as he makes his first start as a Jayhawk. While Meier's passes have looked sharp and on-target in open practices, whether he can continue
Meier
that against an opposing defense remains to be seen. Kansas coach Mark Mangino has said he doesn't expect Meier to carry the offense. Instead, Mangino said he's only asking Meier to go out and play quarterback. Because of his ability to run and pass, Meier brings a new style to the Kansas offense not seen since the days of Bill Whittimore.
QUESTION MARKS
Linebackers: Replacing the talent and leadership of Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Flood-man will be a tough task. Many of their possible replacements have seen playing time on special teams, but have limited experience on defense.
Secondary: With redshirt-freshman Darrell Stuckey out with an injury and senior safety Jerome Kemp questionable, Kansas' secondary could be shaky to start the season. Replacing the injured or suspended players will be either freshmen or redshirt freshmen. They'll have to adjust to the college game while at the same time covering opposing receivers.
THE WAIT IS OVER Season begins Saturday
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. NORTHWESTERN STATE 6 p.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium
Kansas
Offense
Meler has been the focus of many conversations surrounding the offense for most of the offseason, but left out of that talk are two big reasons why Meler has a chance to succeed. The quarterback is lucky to return nearly every starter on the offensive line and a running back, senior Jon Cornish, who believes he can have one of the greatest rushing seasons in program history. Nearly all of Meler's options at wide receiver are inexperienced, but he has a big target in tight end Derek Fine. Kansas' offense should gain valuable experience against an overmatched Northwestern State squad. This group only has two weeks to get ready for its first true test of the season when on Sept. 15 it will face an experienced Toledo team on the road.
Northwestern State
Offense
There is uncertainty at quarterback as junior Ricky Joe Meeks and sophomore Roch Charpentier will audition for a permanent starting job. Senior tailback Greg Skidmore is the only tailback on this year's team who had at least one carry last season. The Demons do return their top receiver from last year, senior Derrick Dovle, but they are predominantly a running team. The Demons
KU KU KU
will have new starters on the left side of the line and at center.
Defense
Kansas’ defense still appears to be a work in progress, with several players missing Saturday’s game because of injury or reported suspension. Last season’s starting linebackers — Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman — were the heart and soul of the defense. If the defense is to return to last year’s form, leaders will need to emerge early in the season to help guide the influx of freshmen and redshirt freshmen expected to see time on the field. Youth will be especially prevalent in Mangino’s makeshift secondary that could see at least two freshmen or redshirt freshmen in the starting lineup. Mangino thinks his younger players are ready to see serious playing time early in their careers, he’ll find out whether that move will pay off starting Saturday night.
Defense
Defensive linemen Ed Queen, senior end, and Tory Collira, senior tackle, were named preseason All-Americans and should make Kansas earn its rushing yards and may give Kansas redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier a rough welcome to college football. Northwestern State has freshman Blake Delcambre and sophomore Mack Dampier listed as starters at linebacker. If they struggle, junior DeMichael Robinson and senior T.J. McMillan will step in. In a five-player secondary, senior free safety Russ Washington—a preseason all-conference selection—is ‘the leader.
Northwestern State’s first game of the year last season was Collins’ best. He had a season-high nine quarterback hits, three tackles for a loss, a sack, and was named conference Defensive Player of the Week for the performance.
Kansas should be prepared for Collins to come out strong in his season-opener this year, too, and lead a defense that will be Northwestern State’s only chance for victory on Saturday.
KU KU
Coming off its first bowl victory and winning season in 10 years, the Kansas football program is on a serious high. Mangino is banking a repeat performance on a number of younger players who will see big minutes. Aside from Meier, younger players will see serious time in the defensive secondary, wide receiver and linebacker. If Kansas hopes to qualify for back-to-back bowl seasons for the first time in history, the pressure rests on their shoulders.

Momentum
Northwestern State finished 2005 on a high note, defeating Stephen F. Austin, 41-21, in its last game. However, the Demons lost two of their last three games to finish the season 5-5 and 3-3 in the Southland Conference. Whether good or bad, this year's team is a shell of the 2005 team. The 2006 Northwestern State squad has just seven seniors on its roster. With such a young team, the Demons will likely take a few weeks to get some momentum going.
Once they do, the expectation is that they will duplicate their results from last season. This preseason, the Demons were predicted to tie Nicholls State for third in the conference by conference coaches. Conference Sports Information Directors picked Northwestern State to tie Texas State for third in the conference.

KICKOFF
ATA GLANCE
Kansas' only I-AA foe this season, Northwestern State, comes from Louisiana and the Southland Conference. Last season they finished in the middle of the pack in their conference standings. Look for the Demons' defense to be one of their attributes that test Kansas Saturday. On the other side of the ball, the Demons' offense doesn't return many starters from last year's squad. Like Kansas, Northwestern State has a young team who is looking to gain experience.
5 QUICK FACTS
1 — This is Northwestern State's first meeting all-time with Kansas in football.
T-3 Northwestern finished in a tie for third place in the Southland Conference in 2005.
22 On Saturday, 22 Northwestern State players will take the field for the first time as college football players.
43 — Nonconference opponents outscored Northwestern State by a combined 43 points in 2005.
72 — Northwestern State rushed for 1,742 yards as a team in 2005. Of the tailbacks on this year's roster, only senior Greg Skidmore contributed to that total. His rushing total from 2005 was just 72 yards.

State University as a freshman, but redshirted the one year he was there before transferring to Northwestern State. Since taking the field for the Demons, Collins has been a force.
Collins was 12th on the team in tackles as a redshirt freshman in 2003, recording 5.5 tackles for a loss and two sacks. The next season, Collins moved into the starting lineup and increased his total tackles, tackles for a loss and sacks.
QUESTION MARKS
Running game: The Demons lost their top five rushers from last season, and as many as four running backs may see action in Saturday's game.
Quarterback: Northwestern State will be starting junior Ricky Joe Meeks, who played in seven games last year, but is lacking in job security. Before the game is over, fans will also get a chance to see sophomore Roch Charpentier, who is batting Meeks for the top job.

Professor battles publishers for better prices
Biology students benefit from instructor's efforts to keep a cost of education from affecting strained college budgets
BY KYLE CARTER
By his own estimate, Craig Martin spent nearly 20 hours gathering bids to make the textbook for his course more affordable.
"I used to be a poor student myself," said Martin, a professor of biology, "and a very, very poor one at that."
Martin sent two publishing companies into a bidding war to print the textbook for his "Principles of Biology" class. He said he was motivated to spend time working the price down because he felt the original price was too high: About $95 from most publishers.
"My impression is that these companies are gouging students." Martin
said. "The increase over time of textbook prices has been disproportionate, I think, to rises in the cost of living."

Some even try to get by without textbooks for certain classes.
Martin sent e-mails to two sales representatives, one from The Benjamin Cummings Publishing Company and the other from The Thomson Corporation, asking each if their companies could beat the other's offer. Martin said that both companies lowered the price the first few times he contacted them but both claimed they could go no lower than $55.
Then Martin sent the two representatives the same e-mail explaining that he had played them off each other. He asked for one final markdown. The representative for the Benjamin Cummings Publishing Company replied that he could not
lower the price any further. The representative also sent a presentation comparing the texts and questioning the academic qualifications of the other textbooks author.
Martin said he thought both texts were superb.
The Thomson Corporation's representative came back with a final offer of $47 and Martin signed a contract agreeing to use the book for the three subsequent fall semesters that he taught the course. He said that although he felt his efforts were worthwhile because he saved students

Skaters fight ban of boards on campus Longboard riders want to modify city ordinance
BY BEN SMITH
Casey Millstein is tired of being pulled over by campus police and she's out to change an ordinance that makes it illegal to skateboard on campus.
Millstein, Baldwin City senior, is a longboarder and has been riding her longboard on campus since her freshman year.
"Gas is expensive and I'm just using it as a mode of transportation," said Millstein. "And yet the cops keep pulling me over."
Since August 1987, with the most recent amendment in July 1996, the city of Lawrence has prohibited skateboards from certain public areas including the University of Kansas campus along Jayhawk Boulevard. The restricted area stretches from West Campus Road to 13th Street and includes 1,000 feet on either side of the street.
In the past two years, Millstein said she was stopped seven times by police for ignoring the signs saying "NO SKATEBOARDING."
"They've threatened to take our boards away," said Millstein, as she and her two friends and fellow boarders Eric Dobbins, Lawrence senior, and Ashley Rinella, Glenview, Ill., senior, skated Monday morning along Jayhawk Boulevard. "They treat us like we're 13-year-old punks."
But Millstein is frustrated because the longboard she chooses to ride is not a skateboard in her opinion.
According to urbandictionary. com, a longboard is different from a regular skateboard because it can be designed for speedboarding, transportation, slalom, carving, sliding, boardwalking and racing of any other kind.
Eric Dobbins, Lawrence senior said that longboards were not intended for the type of tricks that caused property damage or injury.
"You can't jump or do many tricks on a longboard. They're too heavy," Dobbins said. This is due to the boards' larger wheels and elevated trucks, which are the axle-like structures that attach the wheels to the board, he said.

'Bruce' the Cabbage wins weight competition
PALMER, Alaska — It was admittedly rather ugly, but Brenna Dinkel's cabbage was big enough to win the Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off at the Alaska State Fair.
Just before the weighing began Friday in front of a packed grandstand, 19-year-old Brenna pointed out one particularly gooey leaf to her friends.
"Yuck," she said
Brenna named him Bruce.
Brenna named him Bruce How heavy was Bruce?
Mike Campbell, the official from the state Division of Weights and Measures chosen to end all arguments, said it tipped the scales at 73.4 pounds.
Brenna won the $2,000 firstplace prize for the second year in a row. Last year she won with an 85-pound cabbage. Barbara Everingham set the state record in 2000 with a 105.6-pound cabbage.

have been well Chrzanowski, who lives in Harrison Township, discovered the theft after receiving a call from a collection agency about her telephone bill.
The thief recently obtained Chrzanowski's Social Security number and birth date, then opened accounts with a Syracuse, N.Y., address and ran up a $5,800 phone bill and $500 in credit card charges.
"Unbelievable," Chrzanowski said. "I guess I'm lucky the debts incurred were not high. Things could have been worse."
This isn't the first time she's been the victim of theft. Her home was burglarized in the late 1990s and the thieves were caught.
The judge may not have to pay the bills, although she's aware it could take several months to clear her credit.
Back then, Chrzanowski asked for leniency, asking the judge not to put the thieves in prison if they'd return all of her jewelry.

Utility companies, always on the hunt for new ways to combat animals, may have found an inexpensive solution to what has long been a vexing problem.
If you can't beat'em, zap'em.
The idea is to give the squirrels enough of a shock to keep them away from sensitive power equipment, but not enough of one to hurt them. Inventor Jim Rauckman compares the feeling of getting zapped by the ZAPshield to walking across a carpet on a dry day and then touching someone.

EL DORADO — The El Dorado school district has adopted a new policy allowing it to test most of its middle- and high-school students for drugs and alcohol, starting this year.
Many districts test students suspected of using drugs, and it's not uncommon for schools to test athletes.

Jury duty dodger caught plagiarizing in report
HOWELL, Mich. — The court-ordered report Brandon Dickens was made to write after ducking out of jury duty has not passed muster.

Not surprisingly, Reader had the last word.
"Really, what I was looking for, Mr. Dickens, was your own work," Reader said last week in upping Dickens' punishment from three days in the courthouse to four days, and ordering him to rewrite the paper.
Dickens originally landed in Reader's doghouse in June, when he failed to return to jury duty after a lunch break. The judge ordered him to spend three days observing a civil trial and to write a five-page paper on the history of jury service.
When Dickens turned in the paper Aug. 30, a court employee recognized phrases from something else the employee had read previously. An Internet search showed many of the phrases came word for word from an article in an online magazine.

IRAQ
Al-Qaida leader captured, but violence continues
Death toll includes 33 men whose bodies were found tortured and riddled with bullets and seven servicemen
BY ELENA BECATOROS ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Police found the tortured, blindfolded bodies of 33 men scattered across the capital Monday and the U.S.-led coalition reported combat deaths of seven servicemen, a day after Iraqi leaders said the capture of a top terror suspect would reduce violence.
Iraqi soldiers also clashed with gunmen near the holy city of Karbala during an operation to secure the area ahead of a religious festival on Saturday, leaving 14 gunmen and one soldier dead, the prime minister's office said.
Kidnappers also dragged off a popular soccer star in Baghdad, while a security crackdown in the city expanded into the upscale Mansour neighborhood.
An al-Qaida-affiliated group dismissed the Iraqi government's claim that the organization's second most important leader had been arrested, suggesting the man was not a senior figure and denying the terror group had suffered a significant blow.
On Sunday, Iraq's national security adviser announced the arrest of Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeedi, also known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, and said that had left al-Qaida in Iraq suffering a "serious leadership crisis."
But the Mujahedeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of Sunni Arab extremist groups that includes al-Qaida in Iraq, issued a statement Monday saying its "leadership was in the best condition."
The statement did not directly deny the arrest, or say what position al-Saeedi held, although it suggested he was not the No.2 leader.
The security adviser, Mouwafak al-Rubaie, described al-Saeedi as the second most important al-Qalda in Iraq figure behind Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who is believed to have taken over the group after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed by a U.S. airstrike in June.
Al-Saeedi was involved in the Feb. 22 bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra, al-Rubaie said. The attack inflamed tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims and set off reprisal killings that have killed hundreds of Iraqis, like those found
in Baghdad on Monday.
Police said they the 33 bullet-riddled bodies all showed signs of torture and had their hands and feet bound. The men had been dumped around several neighborhoods, police said.
Two other bodies were found dumped on a highway in Kut, 100 miles southeast of Baghdad. Both had been shot in the head and chest, said Maamoun Ajil al-Robaiei at Kut hospital's morgue.
The Mujahdeen Shura Council's statement also said insurgents have been inflicting heavy losses on U.S. troops in western Anbar province and in Baghdad.
The U.S.-led coalition said seven of its personnel had been killed the past two days _ five Americans and two Britons.
On Sunday, two U.S. Marines were killed in Anbar and two Army soldiers died from roadside bombs in Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, and near Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of the capital. Another soldier was killed Monday by a roadside bomb. A sixth American died of non-combat injuries, the military said.
In the south, a roadside bomb killed two British soldiers and seriously wounded a third north of the southern city of Basra, a British military spokesman, Maj. Charlie Burbridge, said.
British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett arrived in the capital Monday on an unannounced visit her first to Iraq since taking up the post in May.
"We do not underestimate the challenges ahead," Beckett said in a statement. "But we must not forget the progress made in the last twelve months in bringing the first democratically elected national unity government to the country, with a constitution voted for by the people."
South of the capital, Iraqi soldiers clashed with gunmen near the holy city of Karbala during an operation to secure the city ahead of a Shiite religious festival, the prime minister's office said. Tens of thousands of Shiite pilgrims are expected in Karbala, 50 miles south of the capital on Saturday to observe Shaaban, a mid-month religious celebration.
Fourteen gunmen were killed
and another 22 were arrested, while one Iraqi soldier was also killed and another was wounded, the statement said.
On Saturday, police said 13 Pakistani and Indian Shiite pilgrims and their Iraqi driver had been ambushed and killed on their way to Karbala.
Assailants abducted Ghanim Ghudayer, a soccer star and member of Iraq's Olympic team. Considered one of the best players on Baghdad's Air Force Club, the 22-year-old was taken Sunday evening by unknown assailants, some of whom were wearing military uniforms, police said.
The U.S.-led coalition said the Iraqi army had begun searching the capital's Mansour district as part of a crackdown aimed at tackling violence in Baghdad neighborhood by neighborhood. U.S. soldiers would "observe and advise" during the operation, the military said.
The coalition also said five suspected insurgents and a child were killed and a second child was wounded during a raid in Mudqadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad. The raid targeted "an individual with ties to movement of terrorist finances and foreign fighters into Iraq," the military said in a statement.
The Iraqi Defense Ministry said that over the previous 24 hours, its troops had killed 15 people suspected of involvement of insurgent activities. Iraqi police said clashes between gunmen and Iraqi forces in Musayyib, 40 miles south of Baghdad, resulted in the death of an Iraqi soldier and the arrest of about 100 gunmen.
Disagreements continued over the handover of Iraq's armed forces command from the U.S.-led coalition to the Iraqi government, and the Defense Ministry said a ceremony to mark the transition had been postponed indefinitely.
The two sides still need "to complete some legal and protocol procedures that will lead to a complete understanding between the Iraqi government and the multinational troops," the ministry said.
Handing over control from the coalition to Iraqi authorities is a key part of any eventual drawdown of U.S. troops in the country.

Chicago's deadliest fire in years leaves six children dead, one baby in hospital
BY DEANNA BELLANDI ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Candles used for light in an apartment without electricity probably caused a fire that killed six children inside, a fire department official said Monday as fire investigators continued sifting through debris.
The fire, the city's deadliest in years, has been classified as accidental but the Chicago Police Department also was investigating, which is a standard when there are deaths, Officer Marcel Bright said.
death, Officer A preliminary investigation shows the Sunday morning blaze "was caused by candles" in the three-bedroom apartment on the city's North Side, Fire Cmdr. Will Knight said.
Knight said fire investigators have found no evidence of smoke detectors, although Chicago Alderman Joe Moore said Sunday that the landlord told him there were smoke detectors in the unit when the Ramirez family moved in.
The Cook County medical examiner's office identified the dead as Vanessa Ramirez, 14; Eric Ramirez, 12; Suzette Ramirez, 10; Idaly Ramirez, 6; Kevin Ramirez, 3; and Escarlet Ramirez. 3. Friends said the Ramirez family had been baby-sitting Escarlet.
were treated and released from a hospital. Two other injured children were taken to area hospitals, but information on their conditions was unavailable Monday.
All six victims died of inhalation injuries and Vanessa Ramirez was burned, the medical examiner's office said Monday.
A friend of one of the Ramirez children said their mother originally was from Mexico, but the family had been in the United States for at least 16 years. A call to the Mexican Consulate in Chicago was not immediately returned on Monday.
ComFd spokesman John Dewey has said the apartment had been without electricity since May but declined to say why it had been turned off, citing confidentiality issues.
Fire officials have said the family was relying on candles because they had been without power.

The announcement raised the possibility of a prisoner swap to win the soldiers' release, an exchange that Israel has repeatedly rejected, at least in public. Until now, Israel
had insisted that it would not hold any contacts with Hezbollah, but its government has been under increasing domestic pressure to bring the two home.
The agreement about the mediation effort could mark a breakthrough on an issue that is crucial to preserving the fragile 3-week-old cease-fire that ended 34 days of Israel-Hezbolli fightings. Israel mounted its offensive in Lebanon after the Shiite guerrillas seized the two soldiers and killed three others in the cross-border raid July 12.
The U.N. cease-fire resolution that ended the fighting on Aug. 14 urged the unconditional release of
the two soldiers. Hezbollah has said it would free them only in a swap for Arab prisoners held by Israel.
"Both sides have accepted the good offices of the secretary-general to help resolve this problem," Annan told a news conference in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of jiddah. "I will designate someone to work discreetly and quietly with them to find a solution."

"The only thing that I insisted on is that if I'm going to use my good offices, then my mediator should be the only mediator," he said. "There must be one mediator and effective channel of communication." Annan said he would not announce the mediator's name to allow him to work quietly.
Annan did not say whether a prisoner swap was on the agenda for the mediation effort, and Israel on Monday repeated its stance demanding an unconditional release of the soldiers.

Asked about the mediation effort, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said that during Annan's visit to Israel last week, "we urged him to bring about the full implementation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, which calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages."

Housing requires change
Students from small towns learn to make the transition to living on campus with populations larger than graduating classes
BY MATT ELDER
For some University of Kansas students, the transition can be difficult from small-town life to college, where residence halls that contain upwards of 900 students can have populations that exceed those of their hometowns.
Megan Fowler, Fredonia freshman, said that while she missed the simple pleasures and comforts of home, she was eager for the change the University had provided after two weeks of calling Lawrence home. While Megan's new home in Rieger Scholarship Hall houses more people than her graduating class of 43, she has welcomed the new faces.
"It's been great," she said. "The scholarship hall is such a small community in itself, it helps to ease the transition. It's just weird not seeing the same kids I've known since preschool."
For Em Franzenburg, Keystone, Iowa, junior, the move into Oliver Hall her freshman year meant she would be living with more people than her high school's entire student population. While she said she was excited about her transition to the University, she said the change of scenery was the complete opposite of small-town life.
"All the stereotypes are true," she said. "Basically you know everyone and everything about them."
While the Department of Student Housing is aware that the transition can be difficult for freshmen coming from small towns, it chooses not to make the transition a factor during the placement process for resident halls.
"We don't take hometown considerations specifically," said Eric Grospitch, associate director of the Department of Housing Administration. "It's based on applications and their arrival time for fairness."
Although Franzenberg's application left her in a residence hall that housed nearly as many people as her graduating class on a single floor, she said the abrupt change in living was one she wouldn't give up for anything.
"It's a nice change to lose yourself a bit," she said.
Franzenberg helped smooth her transition to college life by visiting her older brother at the University before she arrived, however, many students from small communities don't have the luxury of the same stress-free transition to college.
The campus group Kansas Connections was created in 2005 to help ease this progression. While the group most often attracts students from western Kansas, its members
are as diverse as the campus itself.
"We made a point to not define 'small town,'" said Wendy Rohleder-Sook, pre-law associate director at the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and Kansas Connections sponsor. "The mission is to get kids connected with the University in the broadest sense. We may be that first jumping-off point to move to other possibilities."
The group has many opportunities for students in the program, including mentoring with upperclassmen, internships and campus leadership positions.
Acting as both a social and academic resource to students, the group aims to provide the communal comfort of a small town in a large university atmosphere, said Nathan Ladd, Effingham senior and Kansas Connections president.
"it's nice to know that there are others that share in coming from a small community," he said.
Kansas Connections's first meeting of the year will be at 7 tonight in the Relays Room of the Burge Union.

Sororities report higher rate of recruitment dropouts
BY MATT ELDER
While the year's formal sorority recruitment was considered "overall a success" by Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, more than 250 students dropped during the first two days.
"What we did see this year that hasn't happened before is a significant number of women who released themselves from the process before it really got started," Bauer said.
Each house offered four fewer bids than last year. While the decline seems minimal, Bauer said that the drop could potentially affect budgets, living space and conditions, and philanthropy options because there were fewer women in the sororities.
The number of women who
Of the 802 women who registered for the 2006 fall formal recruitment process, only 550 of the women stayed long enough to join houses. Many of the 252 women who left early decided after only one or two events that sorority life wasn't for them, Bauer said.
joined during formal recruitment this year is down from 572 in 2005, and a difference of 22 women has a larger impact on the Greek community than it would seem. While 48 women received invitations from each chapter during formal recruitment last year, only 44 invitations were allowed from each individual chapter this year because there were fewer recruits overall.
"We always want to try and keep our numbers pretty consistent from year to year," Bauer said. "This is something we will definitely be looking into."
Celie Wall, Greensboro, N.C., sophomore, was one of the women who left during the process's initial days. She attributes her early departure to recruitment's demand on her time.
"It just seemed like I had so many other things to do that week," she said. "I'd just moved in, hadn't gotten books and didn't even really know my schedule."
Besides the time commitment required during formal recruitment week. Bauer said she thought the complexity of the process may have
driven many of the women away during the first few days.
we try to counsel and help them, but sometimes it's difficult to understand why things happen the way things do," she said.
Sixty current sorority members were available during recruitment to help potential members. Recruitment counselors were asked to be unaffiliated with their houses for the entire week.
New online registration procedures may also be responsible for the decline of interest. Instead of paying registration fees online, recruits were required to send a check in the mail. Bauer said it was an extra step in the process that may have caused women to spend their time and money elsewhere.
Bauer and members of the Panhellenic Association are still searching for ways to bring higher numbers for next year's class.

Iran to meet with European Union officials to discuss nuclear program
BY GEORGE JAHN ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria — The EU's foreign policy chief and Iran's senior nuclear negotiator tentatively agreed late Monday to meet in two days in Vienna to try to bridge differences about Tehran's nuclear program, U.N. and European officials said.
The officials, who asked for anonymity for discussing confidential information with The Associated Press, stressed the date and venue still could change despite initial agreement to meet Wednesday in
While word leaked last week that the Iranians had agreed to meet with the EU's Javier Solana to explore potential chances of solving the impasse, the time and venue are officially being kept secret in an apparent attempt not to jeopardize any chance of their success.
Asked to confirm the reports, Solana's spokeswoman Cristina Gallach would say only that "the lines of communications are being kept open" between the two sides.
At issue is Tehran's refusal to consider freezing uranium enrichment,
the Austrian capital.
a potential pathway to nuclear weapons, despite a demand by the U.N. Security Council.
Domestic & Foreign Complete Car Care
On Thursday, the last day of a council deadline for Iran to suspend enrichment, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Tehran had failed to do so, despite the threat of U.N. sanctions.
The talks between Solana and Iran's Ali Larijani are seen as the last chance to explore the possibility of a negotiated solution to the standoff before the council actively begins work on such sanctions.

HEALTH
Board of Regents considers new health plan
BY KIM WALLACE
The Kansas Board of Regents is preparing a more comprehensive student health insurance package for all Regents-governed schools.
A task force will explore ideas for more complete coverage for outpatient services, physical therapy and vaccinations that insurance policies did not previously cover. Students will have the option to sign up for the new plan during the 2007-2008 school year.
The plan will take the place of the current University-sponsored health care plans that provide coverage for students. As of now, three separate insurance plans exist: the Student Senate-sponsored plan, provided through MEGA Student
Insurance; the Regents plan, also provided through MEGA Student Insurance; and the International plan, provided through Columbian Life Insurance Company.
The Student Senate plan costs $1928 annually while the Regents plan costs $876 annually. International students pay $935 a year.
"The goal is to make sure the premiums are affordable without compromising the benefits," said Diana Malott, assistant director of Student Health Services.
During the 2005-2006 school year, 510 students purchased the Student Senate plan, while 825 students and 586 graduate teaching and research assistants opted for the Regents plan. Almost 1,300 international students enrolled in the International plan.
By combining all of these students into one cohesive group of insurance buyers, Malott said, the costs of premiums would lower considerably.
"By having one plan available for all students, we could drive the costs down." Malott said.
Malott serves as the University's representative on the Regents task force designated to draw up the new insurance plan. The task force is chaired by Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center. Each Regents school has one representative on the task force.
The task force recognizes that most students remain covered by
their parents' insurance plans during their college careers, but is looking to provide an opportunity for low-cost insurance to those students who have no policies.
The committee is considering providing coverage for preventative vaccinations, such as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), meningitis and human papillomavirus (HPV). These shots range from $72 to almost $400. Most insurance providers only cover preventative vaccinations for children up to six years old.
"With the recent mumps problem, it is entirely possible that this new plan could cover those types of vaccinations," Malott said.
The recent addition of the FDA approved HPV vaccine, Gardasil, at
Watkins Memorial Health Center, means vaccination coverage in health care plans remains a consideration for the task force.
The health center is willing to work with students without insurance. Watkins offers free office visits and financing to break down costs into monthly payments. But Malott emphasizes the importance of health insurance.
"Not having health insurance can be a financial catastrophe that can end a student's educational career," she said.

Police were trying to determine if the alleged gunman, Nabeel Ahmed Issa Jaourah, was enticed by Islamic militants or a terror group to carry out the shooting, said a Jordanian security official, who agreed to discuss the investigation only if not quoted by name.
The attack at an ancient amphitheater came despite a heavy clampdown on security in this key U.S. ally since a string of deadly bombings at hotels last November that al Qaida in Iraq claimed to have staged.
The official said Jaourah, 38, is from Rusaifa, a village outside Zarqa, the hometown of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq who was killed June 7 when a U.S. warplane bombed his hideout in Iraq. Zaqa is an industrial town northeast of Amman that is a hub for extremist Muslims.
It was the first major terror attack in Jordan since the triple hotel bombings in the capital last November that killed 63 people, including three suicide bombers.
AMMAN, Jordan — A gunman opened fire on Western tourists at Roman ruins in the heart of Jordan's capital Monday, killing a British man and wounding six people before being overpowered. Police said the attacker came from the same area as the slain leader al-Qaida in Iraq.
Preliminary investigations found no link between known terror groups and Jaourah, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin who worked as a metal welder, the official said.
British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said she was "extremely saddened" by the shooting, "Acts of violence such as this are as senseless as they are callous," she said in a statement.
The dead man was identified only as a 30-year-old British man. Al-Fayez said the wounded included two British women, a Dutch man, an Australian woman, a woman from New Zealand and a Jordanian tourist police officer.
The attacker shouted "Allahu akbar," or God is great, as he ran past the tourists, firing at them from behind. Then he turned around, facing them, and continued to shoot, the security official said.
Shooting in Jordan leaves one Brit dead
Health Minister Saeed Darwazeh said the Dutch man underwent surgery to repair his liver. He said the one of the two British women was in intensive care, but did not elaborate on her condition. He said the New Zealander was expected to undergo surgery to remove a bullet.
BY JAMAL HALABY ASSOCIATED PRESS
He said bystanders, including Iraqi refugees, helped two tourist police capture the assailant, who tried to flee.
The U.S. Embassy said it extended "deepest condolences" to the victims. "We have the utmost confidence in the Jordanian security forces," it added.
The gunman struck just outside the entrance to the popular amphitheater ruins in downtown Amman about 12:30 p.m., said one witness, Mohammad Jawad Ali, an Iraqi.
"This is a cowardly terrorist attack, which we regret took place on Jordanian soil," said Interior Minister Eid al-Fayez. "This operation is considered a terrorist act unless the man is found to be deranged."
The rest were in stable condition, he said.
The majority of the victims in last November's attacks at hotels were Jordanian Muslim women and children. But there have been attacks on foreigners in Jordan in recent years and authorities say they have foiled a number of other terror plots.
After the November bombings, authorities tightened security around all tourist attractions and hotels, adding more metal detectors and police patrols.
Monday's attack seems to have succeeded because the gunman shot the tourists just outside the amphitheater's entrance_ an area frequented by low-income and unemployed Jordanians and Iraqis in a district populated by conservative Muslims.
The amphitheater, built by the Romans in A.D. 169-79, rises out of one of Amman's hillsides. It seats 6,000 people and is used for musical and other performances.

Time to move past narrow gender roles
When you attend football and basketball games this year you may notice something a little different during halftime. The traditionally all-female Rock Chalk Dance Team now has a new male member.
Freshman Tim Flattery made history when he made the team. Since then he has been ridiculed, laughed at and mocked by local and national media.
It's unfortunate that so much ridicule has been directed at this freshman. It is sad that stringent social lines exist and that people who breach them become outcasts. So to those who continue to write on message boards or shout humiliating messages at games, get off his back.
Certainly, Flattery's presence on the Rock Chalk Dance Team is different, but it's something we will have to get used to as the season continues. It's obvious others have not taken too kindly to Flattery's presence.
The move has driven people out of their comfort zone.
People are accustomed to seeing the female dancers with tight, short-cut clothes. The thought of a man on an all-female team threatens the beliefs of many.
The only thing that those who find it offensive can do is mock and humiliate. Even after all these years, many people still have a narrowly constructed view of the roles of men and women.
When a woman competes with men, people say she doesn't belong on the same level. When a man competes in a sport that is "feminine", he's labeled as less of a man. These socially constructed barriers still plague our society.
You've got to applaud Flattery for having the guts to step up and do something he enjoys. He hasn't let the criticism of others stop him from participating.
Let's get over this situation and put the attention back where it belongs — on the playing field.

Understand the issues
November is coming and it will soon be time to vote again. Campaign flyers are starting to appear in yards, and television, newspapers and radios will soon be chock full of ads supporting this or that candidate.
Many of these ads are little more than ad hominem attacks. An ad hominem is a fallacious argument that attacks the character of a person, rather than focusing on their opinion about an issue. An example of this type of argument is as follows:
However, despite all of the hullabaloo, does anyone really know where the candidates stand on the issues? Sure, you have lots of pretty pictures of smiling faces and loads of slanderous ads filling the airwaves, but where is the substance?
A) Bob says tomatoes taste good.
C) Therefore tomatoes do not taste good.
This is a fallacy of logic, and it is a huge part of the modern day campaigning process.
As college students we are not known for a high voter turnout rate. Many older adults believe we are apathetic and don't care about the wider world. This is probably true of some, but what most adults of a certain age do not seem to consider is how busy college students really are.
We all have classes, homework, jobs, friends and, if we are very lucky, a few extracurricular activities that take up all of our time. We do not have hours on end to watch the news or go to political Web sites to find out what each and every candidate thinks about the issues.

the slanderous ads that defame the character of candidates from opposite parties. It is so easy to see an ad that says Candidate A is a Republican and therefore is evil, or that Candidate B is a Democrat and therefore is evil. This process does not take any thought, people.
You allow these campaign malingers to lead you around like a bunch of blind kindergarteners at snack time. It is time to stop boxing people in and making generalizations. Start listening to what the candidates have to say about hot button issues, rather than what their ads say about their opponents.
I have no sympathy for people who vote for someone simply because of an ad hominem argument and then complain about the idiots who are running the system. I also find it ridiculous when people vote for candidates just because they share a similar background. It makes no difference what race or gender you are, or what religion you practice. What are you going to do for this country? I don't care about the habits of your opponents.
COMMENTARY
Church and state a dangerous duo
If there's one thing that the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has proven, it's how dangerous religious groups are, particularly when they have political power and interfere with matters that should be left to the state. The danger is even greater if the state fails to provide basic services, such as education, healthcare and security, to the population.
That's what is happening in Lebanon right now. Why does Hezbollah have so much support? Because in many areas it has replaced the role of the government. Hezbollah offers cheap medical care and schooling, and has already begun building southern Lebanon. In many ways Hezbollah is the de facto government of Lebanon.
If the people of Lebanon are so dependent on Hezbollah, how can they not support it? This situation poses a great risk to the rightful government of Lebanon and to the stability of the state. It also leaves the population stuck in the middle, not knowing who to trust or follow. In such a situation, the autonomy and sovereignty of the state is threatened.

Something similar is happening in Brazil. The social gap in Brazil is one of the largest in the world. On one side are the people with money, who can afford a good education, dignified healthcare, decent housing, and security. On the other are those who don't have any of these basic rights, and those people often don't have much to look forward to in life.
That is where religious groups, particularly Evangelicals, come in. Evangelicals are the fastest growing religious group in Brazil, and for good reason. In most of these churches the pastors are extremely charismatic, and they attract people from the lower classes by promising a better life. In many of these churches corruption runs rampant and the pastors exploit the people by coercing them to donate money.
They say the more you donate, the greater your chances of getting into heaven. It's ironic that the practice of selling indulgences that Luther criticized has infected some of his offspring
These churches also offer a degraded form of spirituality. Instead of trying to help people find some meaning in their lives, they play on people's fears by saying that whoever strays from what they say will not be saved.
separates the church from the State gets crossed.
The churches do offer some social services, and people turn to them because there is no one else they can turn to.
Of course, there are good churches out there. I'm just criticizing the ones that take advantage of the state's deficiencies and ignore the poverty of the people.
Another problem is that because these pastors hold so much control over their faithful they are often elected into office. In fact, a huge corruption scandal happened in Brazil, where the majority involved were from the so-called Evangelical Faction of Congress. Corruption is a huge problem, but an equal, if not larger, problem is that when these pastors get elected the thin line that
To solve these problems there's an absolute need for separation of church and state. The state needs to be lay; if it isn't there is no way to check any abuses of religious organizations. Also, the church's property should be taxed. There's no reason why it shouldn't be, and the money could be put to good use.
Lastly, the state needs to be fully functional and inclusive. People who don't have money should still be able to receive a good education and have access to healthcare and security. Conservatives may cringe at this, but for the state to maintain its sovereignty it has to justify why it deserves it. If people are excluded from basic needs they don't see any justification for the state's existence. When the State is inclusive it doesn't have any deficiencies that religious groups can exploit by offering social services. I have nothing against spirituality, but religious groups with political power scare me.

Crocodile hunter killed by stingray barb to the heart
While filming new show in the Great Barrier Reef, Steve Irwin received fatal sting, fans worldwide mourn his death

Associated Press/Channel 7 via APTN
Australian Steve Irwin, famous for his TV show "The Crocodile Hunter," holds his month-old son, Robert, in front of a 13-foot crocodile in a television image during a croc feeding Jan. 2, 2004, at his Australian Zoo reptile park in Brisbane, Australia. Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality known as The Crocodile Hunter, died Monday "by a stingray barb to his heart" according to Australia Zoo, the wildlife park Irwin ran in northeast Queensland.
BY BRIAN CASSEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRNS, Australia — Steve Irwin died doing what he loved best, getting too close to one of the dangerous animals he dedicated his life to protecting with an irrepressible, effervescent personality that propelled him to global fame as television's "Crocodile Hunter."
The 44-year-old Irwin's heart was pierced by the serrated, poisonous spine of a stingray as he swam with the creature Monday while shooting a new TV show on the Great Barrier Reef, his manager and producer John Stainton said.
News of Irwin's death reverberated around the world, where he won popularity with millions as the man who regularly leaped on the back of huge crocodiles and grabbed deadly snakes by the tail.
"Crikeyt" was his catch phrase, repeated whenever there was a close call — or just about any other event

— during his program, delivered with an Australian twang, mile-a-minute delivery and big gestures.
Conservationists said all the world would feel the loss of Irwin, who turned a childhood love of snakes and lizards and knowledge learned at his parents' side into a message of wildlife preservation that reached a television audience that reportedly exceeded 200 million.
"I am shocked and distressed at Steve Irwin's sudden, untimely and freakish death," Australian Prime Minister John Howard said. "It's a huge loss to Australia."
"He was probably one of the most knowledgeable reptile people in the entire world," Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, told ABC's "Good Morning America."
In high-energy programs from Africa, the Americas and Asia, but especially his beloved Australia, Irwin — dressed always in khaki shorts, shirt and heavy boots — crept up on lions, chased and was chased by komodo dragons, and went eye-to-eye with poisonous snakes.
Otten, his trademark big finish was to hunt down one of the huge saltwater crocodiles that inhabit the rivers and beaches of the Outback in Australia's tropical north, leap onto its back, grabbing its jaws with his bare hands, then tying the animal's mouth with rope.
He was a committed conservationist, running a wildlife park for crocodiles and other Australian fauna, including kangaroos, koalas and possums, and using some of his TV wealth to buy tracts of land for use as natural habitat.
Reef, off the Australian resort town of Port Douglas about 60 miles north of Cairns, shooting a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to the stingray, Stainton told reporters.
"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat, Croc One, at the time.
Irwin was in the water at Batt
Crew members administered CPR and rushed to rendezvous with a rescue helicopter that flew to nearby Low Isle, but Irwin was pronounced dead when the paramedics arrived, Stainton said.
"The world has lost a great wildlife life, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," Stainton said. "He died doing what he loved best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, 'Crocs Rule!'"
Marine experts called the death a freak accident. They said rays reflexively deploy a sharp spine in their tails when frightened, but the venom coating the barb usually just causes a very painful sting for humans.
"It was extraordinarily bad luck," said Shaun Collin, a University of Queensland marine neuroscientist. "It's not easy to get spined by a stingray, and to be killed by one is very rare."
Irwin's image was dented a bit in 2004 when he held his month-old son in one arm while feeding large crocodiles inside a zoo pen, touching off a public outcry. He argued there was no danger to his son, and authorities declined to charge him with violating safety regulations.
Later that year, he was accused of getting too close to penguins, a seal and humpback whales in Antarctica while making a documentary. An
Australian Environment Department investigation recommended no action be taken against him.
Irwin was born Feb. 22, 1962, in the southern city of Melbourne to a plumber father and a nurse mother, who decided a few years later to chase a shared dream of becoming involved in animal preservation.
They moved to the Sunshine Coast in tropical Queensland state and opened a reptile and wildlife preserve at Beerwah in 1970. Irwin said in a recent interview that he was in his element.
He was given a 12-foot scrub python for his sixth birthday and regularly went on capturing excursions with his father in the bushland around the park. He was catching crocodiles by age 9, and in his 20s worked for the Queensland state government as a trapper who removed crocodiles from populated areas.
Irwin's father, Bob, said his son had an innate affinity with animals from an early age, a sense Irwin later described as "a gift." Irwin said he learned about wildlife working with his parents rather than in school.
In 1991, Irwin took over the park, Australia Zoo, when his parents retired and began building a reputation as a showman during daily crocodile feeding shows.
The resulting show became the first "Crocodile Hunter," was picked up by the Discovery Channel the following year, and the resulting series became an international hit.
He met and married Terri Raines, of Eugene, Ore., who came to the park as a tourist, that year. They invited a television crew to join them on their camping honeymoon on Australia's far northern tip.
Irwin is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi Sue, 8, and son Bob, who will turn 3 soon.

Meier proves he has what it takes

BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILLIES@KANSAN.COM
By any measure, Kerry Meier's head-first dive into the endzone was not smart.
But this is football, and logic has a way of becoming irrelevant to 45,000 fans waiting for a hero.
Meier, the first freshman ever to start at quarterback for Kansas on opening day, endeared himself to those fans by displaying his entire arsenal — everything from a 20-yard pass while on the run to the grity endzone dive for his second rushing touchdown of the day.
"That's the game of football," he said afterward. "You've got to lay your body on the line no matter what. I wasn't going to get knocked out of bounds at the one."
Meier's tools are unparalleled among recent Kansas quarterbacks. Even Bill Whittmore in his prime didn't have the talent that Meier displayed on Saturday night.
It's not premature to say it after one game against a I-AA opponent: Kerry Meier is the quarterback who will lead Kansas to a Big 12 North title. In his four years here, he has the potential to rewrite the Kansas record books.
His 8-of-18, 110 yard performance certainly won't put this in the record books as his breakout game, but Meier displayed the traits necessary to quarterback in the Big 12.
saly to quarrelsome.
Pinpoint accuracy was the norm rather than the exception for Meier. His first collegiate touchdown pass was a thread-the-needle effort to Marcus Henry in the corner of the endzone.
"Id been looking forward to that one for a while," Meier said.
From there he displayed his ability to throw on the run, often passing up his check-down receiver, tight end Derek Fine, for more ambitious downfield throws.
His favorite receiver seemed to be Marcus Herford. Time will tell whether the two have developed a connection or if it was just the way the routes were run Saturday, but the two often appeared to be in sync on longer downfield throws.
"Marcus has a great combination of size and speed and he catches the ball well." Meier said. "But I've got total confidence in all of them and I'll throw the ball to any of them."
Kansas fans have seen athletic quarterbacks before after all, Mario Kinsey was listed as a starter before his freshman year — but Meier has the mental prowess to put his skill to good use.
I'll throw the ball in.
In the second half Meier showed
the speed that fans have only caught
glimpses of in spring ball and fall
practices.
He was completely at ease calling an audible at the line, saying afterward that coach Mark Mangino has given him control of the offense at the line of scrimmage.

BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
It sure wasn't pretty, but Mark Mangino got exactly what he wanted out of Saturday's 49-18 victory against Northwestern State.
Entering the season with inexperience and question marks at several key positions, Mangino said he would use the season opener to evaluate his young players in action and see what needed to be corrected in the coming weeks.
In the second half, the Jayhawks' offense seemed to get on track, scoring touchdowns on three of six drives, highlighted by senior running back Jon Cornish's 69-yard touchdown run. Kansas' young defense, playing only two starters from last year's squad, held Northwestern State without a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter.
Kansas looked rusty from the start and didn't seem to find its rhythm until the second half. It was plagued by costly special teams mistakes and a slow start by redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier.
"I think we are about where I thought we would be," the Kansas coach said. "You can see things that really excite me about this ball club. We made some mistakes that need to be corrected."
Meier was sacked twice and misfired on his first two passes
Meier's ability to scramble and move the pocket, a dimension in the offense not seen last season, helped buy time for receivers downfield to get open. More than half of Meier's nine rushes resulted in first downs. Along with his two touchdowns through the air, Meier ran for two scores as well, including a 31-yard, head-first dive into the endzone.
Despite his slow start
— he proved to be effective in his debut at quarterback. Although his stats weren't exactly jaw-dropping — 8-of-18 passing for just 110 yards — Meier made the difference. Not through the air, but with his feet.
After his quarterback's slow start, Mangino called offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro and told him to let Meier open up the offense.
For most of the night, the Kansas offense benefited from several long returns on special teams, setting up a short field. Two returns in particular, an 88-yard kick off return by sophomore Marcus Herford
“There’s no sense in trying to get conservative and try and ease him in,” Mangino said. “He has the ability to make plays, let’s him do it.”

Mangino's contract features new package
BY C.J. MOORE
The University of Kansas Athletics Department released football coach Mark Mangino's new five-year contract Monday.
The new contract is almost identical to Mangino's previous contract except for his compensation and incentive package. The new incentive package rewards Mangino for making a bowl game, winning the Big 12 Championship, season ticket sales of more than 40,000 or receiving Coach of the Year awards.

com/coaches.
The previous contract included incentives for number of victories, victories against Nebraska
and Kansas State, and rewards for his athletes' academic achievements.
"These incentives made a whole lot more sense than the other ones," said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director.
The expectations for Kansas football have increased now that victories against Kansas State and Nebraska are not a big surprise; Kansas has defeated both teams during the past two seasons.
Mangino has been rewarded for making two bowl games in the past three years with a base salary of $220,000, increased from $128,438.
For his professional services — which include educational, public relations and promotional duties — Mangino is now paid $1.28 million per year. In his previous contract, he received $475,000 for those services.
Mangino is now the highest-paid coach at the University. Basketball coach Bill Self is the second-highest paid, coming in just behind Mangino at $1.24 million annually, before any incentive bonuses.

Jayhawks take tournament, honors
Kansas plays through inconsistencies, looks forward to Jayhawk Classic
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team swept the Temple Classic this weekend in Philadelphia, winning the competition and sharing the statistical bounty among teammates.
Ethan Sterner/The Temple News
Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, spikes the ball in the Temple Classic in Philadelphia. Kansas defeated Temple, Rutgers and Maine to win the tournament.
On Friday, Kansas defeated Temple 3-1, with four players having double-digit kills. In a sweep of Maine, four players had nine or more kills, and in defeating Rutgers, four players had double-digit digs. The victories improved Kansas' record to 6-1 on the season.
Ethan Sterner/The Temple News
"It was a good weekend," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "We played well, our passes were good and we hit the ball really well."
Kansas had three players named to the all-tournament team, including Correa.
"I was surprised, I wasn't expecting to be named the MVP," Correa said.
She gave credit to the team for her individual honor. She finished the tournament with 44 kills.
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, and Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, were the other two jayhawks selected to the all-tournament team.
Coach Ray Bechard said he was pleased with how the team played this weekend, but added that the Jayhawks were inconsistent at times.
Serving was one area in which the lavahwacks were inconsistent.
Kansas committed 17 serving errors during its home opener against UMKC. This weekend, the serving continued to be poor; the Jayhawks had 14 serving errors
10
against Temple, 12 errors against Rutgers and nine against Maine
Bechard said that the team served aggressively this weekend but that it would still continue to work on that area.
Friday, Kansas beat Temple, 3-1 (30-21, 27-30, 30-23 and 30-24) to begin the tournament at McGonnie Hall on the Temple campus. Brown had 20 kills, Correa had 17, Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, had 15 and Noyes had 11.
Bechard said some things did not go the Jayhawks' way against the Owls, but they still beat a good team on its home court.
Saturday morning Kansas swept Maine, 30-22, 31-29 and 30-17. Katie Martinicich, freshman setter, led the offensive attack with 37 assists and eight digs. Noyes had a team-high 13-kill performance against the Black Bears, who have yet to win a game this season.
In the night game, Kansas defeated Rutgers, 3-1 (30-22, 27-30, 30-26 and 30-25). It was all about digs against the Scarlet Knights. Correa had 18, Jamie Mathewson, senior libero, had 16, Brown had 13 and Melissa Grieb, freshman libero, had 10.
"We took a lot of teams' best shot this weekend, which we responded well to," Bechard said. "Now we look forward to getting back home, training and focusing on BYU and Arkansas."
Next up, Kansas hosts the Jayhawk Classic this Friday and Saturday. The Jayhawks play Brigham Young, who beat No. 4 Stanford this weekend, at 7 p.m.
Friday, Kansas then plays Arkansas,
an SEC team, at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Championship marks fifth PGA victory Tiger Woods wins Deutsche Bank against Vijay Singh to finish 8-under 63
BY DOUG FERGUSON
AP GOLF WRITER
NORTON, Mass. — What began as a rally quickly turned into a rout for Tiger Woods, who matched the lowest final round of his career Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship to win for the fifth straight time on the PGA Tour.
With a splendid array of shots and key putts, Woods crushed Vijay Singh's spirit on his way to an 8-under 63, turning a three-shot deficit into a two-shot victory for his longest winning streak in a season.
The streak began in July with a victory in the British Open, his first since his father died in May. It continued on a sunny afternoon outside Boston with some of his best golf of the year and allowed him to avenge a loss to Singh at this tournament two years ago.
Woods needed only three holes to erase the deficit, including a 6-iron over a marsh and into 10 feet for eagle at No.2. He pulled ahead with a 25-foot birdie putt at No.5, and he seized control with a 3-wood from 266 yards, a piercing shot into a gentle breeze that banged into the slope fronting the green and stopped 10 feet away for another eagle.
He played his first seven holes in 6 under par, and Singh never got closer than two shots the rest of the way.
Singh beat him two years ago to end Woods' five-year reign atop the world ranking. The 43-year-old Fijian closed with a 68, not his best golf but ordinarily enough to win with a three-hole lead in swirling breezes.
But not against Woods, and certainly not when the world's No. 1 player is on this kind of a roll.
Byron Nelson won 11 straight tournaments in 1945, a streak regarded as one of the most untouchable in sports. Woods won six straight at the end of 1999 and the start of 2000, and Ben Hogan won six in a row in 1948.
"Tiger played unbelievable," Singh said. "He made two eagles and just took it away."
"You've got to have so many things go right," Woods said. "In this day and age, with this competition, to win 11 in a row would be
almost unheard of. What Byron accomplished, that goes down as one of the great years in the history of our sport. You've got to have one bad week somewhere. I guess his bad week was a win."
Can the record be reached?
it a lot of guys pull out" Woods said with a laugh.
Woods now takes a week off before heading to England for the HSBC World Match Play Championship, followed by the Ryder Cup. His next PGA Tour start will be the American Express Championship outside London at the end of September.
He still isn't even halfway home to Nelson's hallowed mark, but he surpassed Lord Byron in one category with his 53rd victory, moving into fifth place alone on the career list. Woods, who finished at 16-under 268, won for the seventh time this year. No other player has won more than twice.
many as five-deep behind the ropes from tee-to-green, racing across bridges to get to the next hole.
Brian Bateman closed with a 66 to finish third at 8-under 276, eight shots behind Woods.
No one expected such a sudden role reversal, however. Singh was coming off a career-best 61, although he struggled to find fairways and greens until he found himself having to chase Woods.
It was a two-man race between Woods and Singh, the duel everyone wanted. The gallery crammed as
"Vijay played one of the great rounds of golf yesterday," Woods said. "I figured one of the hardest things to do is follow a great round with another one."
This time, it was Woods who fired at the flags and never took his foot off the gas until he settled for par on the last hole for a 63.
Woods twice shot 63 in the final round at the Byron Nelson Championship and once at Disney, but this was his lowest final round in a tournament that he won.
It also was his largest comeback in the final round since he overcame a five-shot deficit at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am in 2000, which he won for his sixth straight victory. Woods made up seven shots over his final seven holes.

Mauresmo seals quarter-finals spot
Serena Williams lost to the top-seeded player in two-of-three sets Monday
BY HOWARD FENDRICH
AP SPORTS WRITER
NEW YORK — Gasping for breath after long exchanges, Serena Williams ran out of energy and answers against Amelie Mauresmo.
In a showdown between two women who've been ranked No. 1 and own a total of nine Grand Slam titles, the top-seeded Mauresmo won nine of the last 12 points Monday night to beat the unseeded Williams 6-4, 0-6, 6-2 and reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
"I could have came out on top had I made a few more shots and had I just been a little bit more consistent," said Williams, who didn't think her recent lack of matches was a factor. "Maybe a little bit more fire or something."
Williams, a seven-time major winner and 9-1 against Mauresmo coming in, was superb in the second set. But the outcome turned at 3-2 in the final set, when a 35-stroke exchange ended with Williams pushing a backhand into the net, then pausing for air — something Mauresmo noticed.
That sent Mauresmo on her way to a key break, and Williams wouldn't win another game, saying later: "Just fell apart after that."
On match point, they engaged in a 24-stroke rally that Mauresmo ended with a sharply angled volley Williams couldn't get to in time.
"I don't think she picked up her game 1,000 percent or even that much," Williams said. "I just think that she cut back on the errors."
What Mauresmo didn't do was force the issue: She finished with only 12 winners, 10 fewer than Williams. But Williams was largely her own undoing down the stretch, with 15 unforced errors in the third set alone, only one fewer than she
had in the first two sets combined.
Williams, who won the Open in 1999 and 2002, came to Flushing Meadows this time having played only 12 matches all season because of a six-month break she used to rehab her surgically repaired left knee and to refresh herself mentally, too. Williams tumbled out of the top 100 in the rankings, and needed a wild-card invitation to play at the Open.
If there have been questions about Williams' health and preparation of late, Mauresmo has been steadily erasing doubts about her mental toughness. She didn't win any of her first 31 Grand Slam tournaments, but she's now closing in on her third such championship this year, after the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
"The experience I've got really helped me tonight," Mauresmo said. "It's starting to show a little bit on the court."
That was certainly the case the way she hung in there after a disastrous second set. Mauresmo lost 20 of the set's first 26 points and finished it with one winner. But she regrouped in the third.
"Being able to keep the composition in these key moments is probably making a huge difference at the end of the day," Mauresmo said.
At the end and start of the match, Mauresmo wrong-footed Williams with groundstrokes and gave her fits by mixing speeds and spins. One example: Mauresmo broke to end the first set by launching a high-bouncing shot that Williams sailed wide.
With that, Mauresmo raised a fist, clenched her jaw and jogged to the sideline. Williams walked over slowly, her sister Venus (sidelines with a wrist injury) and mother looking on from the guest box, while her father snapped photos from elsewhere in the stands.

Team finds victory in final 10-minute blitz
Women return with 1-1 record in Cal Invitational after battling California, St. Mary's

BY MARK DENT
Kansas scored three goals in a 10-minute time span on Sunday afternoon in its 4-2 victory against Saint Mary's in the Cal Invitational.
"We played pretty well, especially in the second half," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "It was the best game we've had offensively."
The game was tied 1-1 at the 54-minute mark before freshman forward Monica Dolinsky broke the stalemate. Dolinsky collected a pass from senior midfielder Holly Gault in the middle of the goal box. She fired it toward the left side of the net, and the ball flicked off the goalkeeper's fingers for Dolinsky's second goal of the season.
Senior captain and forward Michelle Rasmussen joined Dolinsky in the goal-scoring column seven minutes later. A loose ball rolled Rasmussen's way after a corner kick, and she launched it from 25 feet out to give Kansas a 3-1 advantage.
The Jayhawks' 10-minute scoring barrage ended at the 64 minute mark with Gault's first goal of the season. Another Kansas corner kick allowed Gault to intercept a Saint Mary's pass in front of the goal and score easily.
"Our attacking midfielders helped us to play well up front,"
Francis said, "We did a good job battling."
The game looked like it could be one-sided early on as senior forward Lacey Novak gave the
jayhawks a 1-0 lead in the second minute. But the Gaels tied it only seven minutes later.
Kansas combined its speed and depth to spur it to victory. It was speed

that gave the Jayhawks the ability to press the ball on the offensive end for the last 45 minutes. But Kansas' depth allowed it to remain at that fast pace long enough to夺 its trio of second-half goals.
Sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley's work between the posts also helped the Jayhawks. Before Kansas' offense caught fire, Hanley may have saved the game. Saint Mary's midfielder Jessica Menzhuber filtered through Kansas' defense for a one-on-one breakaway opportunity.

"We actually outplayed them in the second half," Francis said. But we just couldn't come up with the tying goal."
More top-level competition awaits the Jayhawks this weekend when they make their secondstraight road trip. They will play against Alabama and Duke at the Nike UAB Classic in Birmingham, Ala.

Senior running back Jon Cornish. Cornish rushed for a career-high 140 yards against the Demons on Saturday night, including a 69-yard touchdown run. He picked up where he left off last season, when he averaged more than 80 yards a game in the season's final four contests.
Game to forget...
Game to forget.. Both punter Kyle Tucker and kicker Scott Webb looked rusty in their season debut. Tucker bobbled on snap and was tackled for a 16-yard loss, because he never got the punt off. Webb missed his only field goal attempt of the day, a chip-shot kick that went wide left.

Kansas scored two special teams touchdowns for the first time since 1997. Nearly 10 years ago, Kansas scored touchdowns off two blocked punts against Iowa State.
》 THE TRUTH
Team must rely on Cornish for success this year
If Mark Mangino wants to prove that he is worth that spanking-new, $1.5-million-per-year contract then he should invite everybody at Memorial Stadium — and the rest of the Big 12 — to watch 11 more episodes of "The Jon Cornish Show."
The man with the golden locks — and alleged golden arm — Kerry Meier, struggled with his accuracy all night. The defense looked impressive in the first half but was unable to maintain that dominance in the second half. The game's brightest player, Jon Cornish, only touched the ball 14 times.
But a closer look reveals that those 49 points might have been the most unimpressive ever scored in football history. The Jayhawks pounded an overmatched and outgunned I-AA team.
After racking up 49 points and cruising to an easy 49-18 victory against the Northwestern State Demons, from the outside everything would appear to be coming up roses for the Jayhawks.
The defense will naturally take a step back because of inexperience, and Meier is not ready to lead the team. As Saturday's game proved, it is Cornish's time to shine.

100 yards a game, he beat Cornish should get at least 20 to 25 touches per game, and 100 yards per game should be the minimum. Upcoming games in September against Toledo and Nebraska will require Cornish and crew to play a much more complete game against teams that are not allergic to tackling like Northwestern State was.
Cornish has that big-play ability that the passing game sorely lacks. This year's offense already looks better than last year's anemic team, which was often hard to watch and stomach.
He is just reaching his potential as his career-high 140 yards rushing indicates.
Cornish is the key for the jeyhawks to make a return trip to bowl season; all Mangino to do is get him the ball early and often.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
and 70-yard punt return for a touchdown by senior Brian Murph, ignited the Jayhawks' first two scores.
Kansas trailed early after two special teams blunders led to two field goals for Northwestern State. On the team's first possession, junior punter Kyle Tucker had his punt blocked because of a high snap. Tucker had problems on Kansas' next possession as he bobbled and then fumbled the snap. He recovered the ball, but it set up Northwestern State's offense at Kansas' 13 yard line.
Considering their experience, Mangino was surprised at the mistakes by Tucker and junior kicker Scott Webb, who missed a 27-yard field goal.
"The little things are important: Snapping the ball to the punter and the punter catching it and our kicker kicking it through the uprights," Mangino said. "We have spent a lot of time on special teams and we are going to have to refocus a little bit more, not just on special teams, but on the specialists themselves."
Kansas' defense, which was a question mark coming into the game, fared well early holding Northwestern State to two field goals when they were driving deep in Kansas territory. On both possessions, the Demons had the ball inside the Jayhawks' 20-yard line, but only managed six points.
The stops, sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera said, provided much needed momentum for the team.
"It it was crucial," Rivera said. "I'm glad we held them, it still shows we can play a little 'D'."
Despite the first-quarter stops, Kansas' secondary gave up more than 200 yards passing. The secondary is still not complete, with redshirt-freshman safety Darrell Stuckey and sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib missing Saturday's game.

Kansas special teams unit determine game's outcome
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The Kansas special teams unit set the pace for Saturday's game.
While early punting blunders gave hope to a young Northwestern State team, Kansas' return units gave a boost to a struggling Kansas offense.
Facing a 4th and 1 on its own 40-yard line in its opening drive, Kansas sent out the punting unit. At the same time, fans chanted for the layhawks to go for it.
"The special teams didn't get us off to a slow start, the specialists on the special teams did." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said.
To the fans' displeasure, the offense remained on the sideline only to see the snap from freshman long snapper Kayl Anderson go over junior punter Kyle Tucker's head. Tucker tried to get a quick punt off only to have it partially blocked.
On the ensuing drive, for a moment, it seemed the botched punt wouldn't come back to hurt Kansas. Instead, Northwestern State sophomore kicker Robert Weeks' 30-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright and went between the posts.
The Jayhawks were forced to punt again on their second drive. This time, Tucker fumbled the snap and was taken down at the Kansas 13-yard line by Northwestern State senior defensive tackle Tory Collins.
The change of possession deep in Kansas territory resulted in a second Northwestern State field goal.
With Kansas fans biting their fingernails, waiting for Kansas to show some signs of life against Division 1-AA Northwestern State, the Kansas kickoff return team eased their anxiety.
Sophomore wide receiver Marcus Herford fielded the ensuing kickoff at the Kansas five and, as he said after the game, could see a hole from the moment he looked upfield and in a matter of seconds he was weaving back and forth inside the Northwestern State 20-yard line before being taken down at the seven-yard line.
"If I would have just kept vertical and went harder, I would have probably scored." Herford said.
However, the Jayhawks' special teams woes weren't completely behind them.
On the snap, Kansas sophomore wide receiver Dexton Fields broke through and blocked the punt. As Fields celebrated the block, junior wide receiver Jeff Foster covered up the ball for the third straight Kansas touchdown.
Bad luck struck Northwestern State when Kansas senior wide receiver Brian Murph fielded a 42-yard punt at the Kansas 30-yard line. Three jukes later, Murph was racing down the sideline and into the endzone.
The Kansas punt block unit got into the action in the second quarter. With the ball on the Northwestern State three-yard line, Demons junior punter Marshall Burton stood in the end zone, dangerously close to the line of scrimmage.
Later in the quarter, Kansas junior kicker Scott Webb lined up for a 27-yard field goal. The attempt sailed left.
After going the entire second quarter without having to punt, the Kansas punt unit was back on the field in the third quarter on its own 11-yard line. Tucker's punter went untouched, but it only reached the Kansas 39-yard line before going out of bounds.
Tucker, who was named to the Ray Guy Award preseason watch list, received sarcastic cheers from the crowd for the 28-yard punt.
"We're going to have to refocus a little bit more, not only on the special teams, but on the specialists themselves," Mangino said.
Northwestern State's special teams had mixed results for the remainder of the game.
Facing 4th and 16 in the third quarter, Northwestern State was forced to punt. However, Burton's punt never elevated past waist level. Instead, his kick dribbled down the field like a ground ball up the middle in baseball.
"I saw him try to kick it and I just saw the ball start rolling and it just kept rolling." Murph said about the kick from his vantage point. "I came running up and I'm trying to tell everybody to just get back."
Kansas freshman safety Justin Thornton tried to cover the ball up after it had traveled 20 yards, but couldn't hold on. The Demons recovered for a first down.
The last scoring drive of the third quarter proved historic for Weeks when he connected on a 36-yard field goal. The field goal was his fourth of the game, breaking the Northwestern State school record for made attempts in a game.
After the game, Mangino said he was surprised by some of the struggles his team endured on special teams, but was pleased with the big-play capabilities his units showed.
He said starting Sunday, the special teams units would work to make sure the same mistakes didn't happen next Saturday.
"There no reason for that. Those were veteran guys," Mangino said. "Give them a mulligan tonight. We won't next week."

Revised license law irritates students
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Christina Blandon had planned on going out of town for her birthday. But because of a new law requiring people to renew their licenses on their 21st birthdays, Blandon, Leawood junior, will have to stay home and go to the Department of Motor Vehicles instead.
"A lot of people want to go out of town on their 21st birthday, which I was planning on doing, but now I guess I won't." Blandon said.
According to the law, which went into effect July 1, a person's license expires on his 21st birthday and will cease to be acceptable as legal identification after that day. Twenty-year-olds are not able to renew their licenses before their 21st birthdays. This means that a person must renew his driver's license on his birthday in order to it remain valid.
The law is an extension of the policy of issuing a vertical license to people younger than 21 and a horizontal license to everybody else.
Bonnie Brown, administrative specialist at the division of vehicles, said the value of having all 21-year-olds have horizontal licenses was worth the inconvenience to students.
"For law enforcement purposes, yes, it is important," Brown said. "You don't want to carry the wrong permit because the reason that was implemented in the first place was so they could look at it visually and determine if somebody is underage without having to read the birth date."

Brown said those who turned 21 before the policy was implemented and still use a vertical license should switch to the horizontal license as soon as possible. The DMV only charges $4 for the photo fee.
The only exceptions to the policy are for people who turn 21 on a day when the DMV is closed. Brown said these people would be permitted to renew their license on the next possible day. She said people who are out of town on their birthdays would be evaluated on an individual basis.
Though students might not like the policy, bar owners think it is a step in the right direction to curb underage drinking.
"i suggested that three years ago," said Rob Farha, owner of the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St. "From a bar owner's

Podcasts help students learn Recorded lectures useful
BY DAVID LINHARDT
The University of Missouri has something that the University of Kansas doesn't.
Journalism students there can download lectures directly to their iPods and listen to them whenever they need to. The University of California at Berkeley has a similar program, as do numerous other universities.
The University of Kansas doesn't, though — at least not yet.
Rob Walch, the guru behind www.podcast411.com, said it's easy to record a lecture and post it online for students. A podcast is an audio recording that is saved to a computer and accessible through an Internet connection. It doesn't take an iPod, either — anyone with a computer can listen to a podcast.
Walch, whose podcasting tutorials are referenced by several universities, said making a podcast from a lecture basically only takes two files: a simple recording of the lecture into an MP3 audio file, and then an RSS feed that directs Web surfers to the correct spot to download the MP3 file.
"Many lecture halls are equipped already to record audio," Walch said. "It's just a matter of the professor wanting to have the lecture available to students."
Walch said professors tended to worry that students would become disengaged from class if they could just download the day's lecture and slide shows online. But with so much information available whenever a student needs it, there's no excuse for missing information.
Walch will hold a podcasting tutorial at 7 tonight at Signs of Life, 722 Massachusetts St.
Bill Myers, director of Information Services and Libraries, agreed that the technology was already in place. A
professor might need to plug in a microphone, but that's about it.
Myers said the University doesn't currently have a plan to promote podcasting because its current focus is expanding wireless Internet access.
Pradeep Natarajan, graduate teaching assistant, said two electrical engineering classes at the School of Engineering used online lectures and tests. He said it was a good idea for higher-level classes where learning takes place in a non-classroom setting.
Susan Zvacek, director of instructional development and support, said podcasting could become a staple of KU classes if faculty wanted it to be. Right now, most instructors don't seem to be interested, she said.
However, "students will tend to look for the information they need for a quiz and skip through the rest of the lecture," Natarajan said.
"The question becomes how valuable it is to just listen to someone talk," Zvacek said. "The real key is to engage students in thinking and doing things with the content."
Kevin Wiedenmann, Olathe senior, said any additional information was a plus, especially while studying at night when a professor wasn't available.
Wiedenmann, who studies aerospace engineering, said the level of math required in a couple of his classes was so high that even a few extra notes from an instructor became key. A recorded lecture would be even better.
"When you're a senior, you realize that skipping class just wastes your time and money," Wiedenmann said.

Angela Moss, Lawrence, lets her Yorkshire Terrier, Tigger, take a rare swim Tuesday during the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center's fourth annual Pooch Plunge. "She likes swimming." Moss said, "but terriers aren't the greatest swimmers, so she needs something to keep her head out of the water." The Pooch Plunge is the last event of the outdoor pool's season, which runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. After the event, the pool is drained, cleaned, and closed for the year.

Cartoon previews released online
Three KU students released one-minute prequel shorts of a new cartoon series, called "Zook Mayhem and the Bandits," on the Internet Monday after spending the past seven months working to create and animate it.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg senior, who originally thought of the idea for the cartoon, said the "standalone funny" episodes, which are available to view on www.zookmayhem.com, were designed to give viewers a preview of what the characters will look and act like and keep them interested until the first episode is released in October.
After the first episode premires, new episodes will be launched directly to the Internet in full-length installments about once a month. Jones said a full 13-episode
season and eventually a DVD are part of his plan. He has outlines for a few seasons and a movie, but no definite plans for how far the project will go.
Jones said he thought of the idea for the series when he was in eight grade and it has evolved through several different versions, including a project for film class and an animated talk show that he was unsatisfied with.
"It it was horrible, so I found something that managed to be more true and absurd all at once," Jones said.
The cartoon really took off when Jones involved his friends, Richard Zayas, Smithville, Mo., junior; and Riley Dutton, Arma sophomore. The two agreed to help Jones with the project if he could prove to them that it was funny. They were convinced that it was when they
read a five-page script Jones wrote last winter.
Twenty students helped lones and his friends with the animation of the cartoon, which is still underway.
S
Dutton estimated that it takes five to 10 hours to make one minute of animation. The process involves recording the voices of the characters, drawing the characters and props for the episodes by hand, scanning them into a computer, animating the episode and editing video. That estimate doesn't include time spent writing scripts and making other preparations.

Jones received a $1,000 undergraduate research award from the University honors program, given to encourage research by undergraduate students, to support his work.
The crew is relying on word of mouth to spread news about their
1
project and using Google Analytics to track how many people visit their Web site. Jones said that the Web site had received about 4,000 page-views as of Monday.

Who's Who at KU Rebecca Annis Cashier at Mrs. E's
BY JOSH LANDAU
Contributed by Jessica Crabaugh
Rebecca Annis should be the favorite person of students living on Daisy Hill, but most likely, they walk past her without much notice. Annis is a cashier at Mrs. E's cafeteria on Daisy Hill, and without her, students would find it hard to eat.
Annis has been working at the University of Kansas since 2000, when a back injury forced her to move from her original job as a factory worker. She originally worked at GSP-Corbin Hall until she transferred to her current position. Her official position is cashier and office assistant, but Annis has also had duties ranging from vacuuming seating sections to setting up for banquets. Working 10-hour shifts with students would be too much for some, but Annis likes it.
"I get along with almost all the students," Annis said. "My kids have
moved out, so I just like to talk, talk, talk."
Annis has enjoyed her time working with the students and watching them grow up from year to year. Many stop to tell her about their day or how their classes are going.
"Sometimes it's hard; you get close to some students," Annis said.
Working in a college cafeteria has its moments, and Annis's most memorable moment at work happened last semester when a food fight broke out in the cafeteria.
"It took the students 2 minutes to completely destroy sections four, six, seven and eight. There was debris everywhere," Annis said.
"I am a big KU basketball fan," Annis said. "I haven't been able to go to a basketball game yet."
Annis plans to work at the University for many more years, and she has only one thing left to do.

Technology gives fingers debit-card abilities
ROME, Ga. — The never-ending march of technology now means school children here can pay for their cafeteria sloppy joes with their fingers.
Rome City Schools is switching to a scanning system that lets students use their fingerprints to access their accounts.
The new system speeds lunch lines, said city administrators. It's being phased in to Rome High School, Rome Middle School and all the city's elementary schools. The city hopes to have the system in use next month system-wide.
Some parents are uneasy with having their children's fingerprints scanned, and wonder about how well the information is secured.
Jail could be newest hotspot for fast food
NEW YORK — Ronald McDonald could be going to jail soon in upstate New York.
The Department of Correction is serving up a plan to put a fast-food restaurant in the Rikers Island jail system, giving thousands of workers greater meal options. Currently, the jail guards eat the same food as the inmates.
A department classified ad in a restaurant industry publication says there's a demand for food alternatives. About 9,000 municipal employees a day pass by the spot where the restaurant would be; more than 1,000 people pass through a visitors' center five days a week.
There was no word on whether the guards, who get one free meal a day, would have to pay for the fast food. The inmates' menu wouldn't change.

Professor of English, faculty adviser dies
Bernard A. "Bud" Hirsch, 61,
associate professor of English, died
Sunday in his Lawrence home.
Hirsch had been diagnosed with brain cancer last spring.
At the University of Kansas, he taught classes in British romantic literature and Native American literature and was regarded as an expert on Native American culture.
in terms of Dr. Hirsch's national impact on Native studies, his scholarship was strong and he approached the studies as a human being, not an objective observer," said Gwen Griffin, professor of English at Minnesota State University and the executive director of the Native American Literature Symposium.
Hirsch was a supporter and a presenter who was always generous with his time and advice, Griffin said.
She said Hirsch was one of her closest friends and strongest allies who was always in her corner telling her
that she could do anything.
Hirsch
Hirsch was the undergraduate program director for the English Department from 1996 until his death. He was also a member of the University's Indigenous
Nations Studies Task Force.
Michael Yellow Bird, associate professor for the Center of Indigenous Nations Studies, said that Hirsch was an expert in the field and was knowledgeable, sincere and greatly respected by everyone.
As an adviser, he received the first Faculty Adviser Award from the University in 2003 and an Outstanding Advising Certificate of Merit from the National Academic Advising Association in 2004. Most recently he was presented with the Crystal Eagle Award by the University's Center of Indigenous Nations Studies for his contributions to American Indian cultural studies as well as the W.T. Kemper Award for teaching excellence.
"He was a good mentor and friend to students," Yellow Bird said.
he was preceded in death by his
wite, Elaine Lindberg, in May 1996. He is survived by his mother, Mollie Bernover, Chicago, a brother, Arnold Hirsch, New Orleans; a step-brother, Neil Bernover, Chicago; a grand-daughter, and four nephews.
A memorial service will be announced at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.
The family suggested memorial contributions be made to the University of Kansas Center for Indigenous Nations Studies or the American Cancer Society.

Brief profiles of candidates put on Facebook site
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Students will now be able to add more than just peers to their "friends" list on the social networking Web site facebook.com. On Sept. 1, facebook.com posted short profiles of each politician running for congressional seats and state governorships this November. Students can find candidates and campaign issues they support by selecting the "election" tab of the "Edit Profile" page.
Brandee Barker, facebook.com representative, said the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee were contacted to retrieve candidates' names, political affiliations and the positions they sought. It is up to the individual campaigns to extend a profile beyond office, state, district and party.
Rodger Woods, communications director for Jim Barnett's governor campaign didn't hear from anyone about the profile space on facebook. com, but he knows of a "Jim Barnett and Susan Wagle" group on the site. He said that wages and e-mail listserve
"If a candidate doesn't have a Web site now, it's almost like they aren't a candidate," he said.
Amy Brundage, spokeswoman for Sen. John Kerry's campaign, said Facebook and other networking sites are a way for him to keep in touch with old friends and people he met across the country.
This month Kerry had a meeting and a tour at the Facebook offices in California. Brundage said he was interested in the growth of these new technologies.
Stephanie Ferguson, Wichita junior and member of the "I voted for George W. Bush" group, said she thinks it's a great idea for politicians to use profiles on Facebook and MySpace.
"So many students use these Web sites," Ferguson said. "Their profiles would be seen by thousands of people daily. It would be a great asset to the politicians to help inform students of their platforms."
There are currently 1,600 candidate profiles posted on the site. Sixteen of those are Kansan candidates. Of the three Kansas campaign offices contacted, none had been made aware of the available profile space on facebook.com.
Although the candidates are listed without expanded profiles, students can find candidates by name, district and state and send their messages. Students can also join or create groups about certain campaign issues. Using the "election" tab, people can edit their profiles to list the candidates they support.
Barker said facebook.com wanted to give the youth a voice and encourage voter turnout in November. She said nine million young adults, all potential voters, used the site.
"Certainly the demographics of this site is 18- to 24-year-olds," she said. "It is a good target for candidates."
There are more than 500 political groups listed on facebook.com ranging from "Ion Stewart for President" to "Michael Moore is Fat." The reaction to politicians using facebook. com is as varied as the political groups on the site.
Adam Wisnieski, Kansas City,
"It would be my hope that the addition of the political support section on faeebook.com would at least spur some discussion among friends and peers about the political realm," he said.
Mo., senior, said he didn't think voter turnout among youth would increase with political presence on the site.
Further, Wisnieski said because personal details are included on people's profiles, he couldn't see any harm in adding political support.
Jami leffrey, Shawnee senior, finds political presence in advertising or profiles a turnoff.
"The they aim to convince young voters knee-high in their cyber social life addictions of their political tendencies," Jeffrey said. "However, I'm not sure young voters looking for their political information on MySpace or Facebook; rather, it seems there are more fitting Web sites to browse."

Prevention week comes to Lawrence
》 HEALTH
BY MARK VIERTHALEP
National Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 10 through 16, is coming to Lawrence, drawing attention to the second leading cause of death in 15- to 24-year-olds in Kansas.
"The stigma associated with mental illness and with suicide discourages people from getting help," Mayor Mike Amyx said, reading from the official proclamation that said Lawrence will host the event.
According to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center Web site, from 1999 through 2002, suicide was the 11th leading cause of death for Kansas residents. An average of 316 residents die by suicide in a given year.
Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center, said Suicide Prevention Week is a nationally observed week that aims to raise awareness of the magnitude of suicide. A large amount of focus is given to students, she said.
Headquarters is a 24-hour, local suicide prevention hot line and center.
Activities during the week will include the start of a training program for Headquarters volunteers, a proclamation from the county commission Sept. 13, training for Lawrence Public School employees on suicide prevention, finishing on Saturday, Sept. 16 with an information booth in front of U.S. Bank, 900 Massachusetts St.
The biggest problem with treating suicide, she said, is the reluctance to talk about getting help. The tendency is to look at each case as a faceless number. This is dangerous, she said.
"Each one is a real person," Epstein said. "It's a loved one. It's somebody's relative. It's somebody's friend."

the last year alone, she said.
Epstein said for the past 20 years, one in 10 students have made a suicide attempt before graduating high school.
The male suicide rate in Kansas is five times that of females; 83 percent of suicides are male. White/ Non-Hispanics make up 93 percent of suicides. The average medical cost per case is $4,016, according to the Suicide Prevention Center Web site.
The University Counseling and Psychological Services, which offers counseling for students and faculty members with any psychological concerns, is still discussing joining in the week's activities. John Wade, psychologist at CAPS, said the service was looking at participating in a national suicide awareness day at the beginning of October.

Regardless of the ease of enforcing the horizontal license policy, students fail to see the logic in requiring what they think is an inconvenience on a day when they would rather be celebrating.

KU alum replaces Ford Motor Co. executive
BUSINESS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEARBORN, Mich. — Bill Ford, who struggled for five years to steer Ford Motor Co. toward financial stability, has stepped down as chief executive of the company founded by his great grandfather and is being replaced by top University of Kansas graduate and Boeing executive Alan Mullaly.
The change comes more than seven months into a restructuring, which is the second under Bill Ford's watch and has so far failed to revive the nation's No. 2 automaker. Under the first plan, Ford closed five plants and cut 35,000 jobs, but its North American operations failed to turn around. The latest plan, announced in January, would cut up to 30,000 jobs and close 14 facilities by 2012.
Bill Ford said it was time for
someone with experience in turning around a troubled company, tacitly acknowledging his own efforts were falling short.
Mulally, 61, was widely praised for being a key architect of the resurgence of Boeing's commercial airplanes unit during the past couple of years. He was a top candidate for the Boeing CEO job last year, but the company went outside instead to select aerospace veteran Jim McNerney, then the 3M Co. chief executive.
Mulally holds bachelor's of science and master's of science degrees in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from KU.
Bill Ford said he began talking with Mulaly in July, which suggested the change was something he had some time to plan instead of it being abruptly forced on him. Ford is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford, and his family still owns a 40 percent voting stake
in the company. Any leadership plan would require its assent.
Ford, 49, has served as CEO since October 2001 and been chairman since 1999. He owns more than 10 million shares that have a market value of more than $70 million.
"We needed somebody who had extensive turnaround experience, who was a leader and a real team builder," Bill Ford said during an afternoon news conference.
He called Mulally "ideally suited" for the job.
"He understands how tough a turnaround can be before the results start to flow, and the necessity of keeping the team together and in focus," Ford said.
Mulally, who has spent 37 years at Boeing, said he looked forward to applying lessons learned at Boeing to Ford.
Mulally said that although he's not an auto person, "I'm certainly a product designer and I care deeply
about having a viable business," he said.
He said that some people believe the U.S. can't compete with the rest of the world in manufacturing, adding, "I personally think we absolutely can if we pull together."
Dearborn-based Ford, which lost $1.4 billion in the first half of 2006, pledged in July to speed up the restructuring. At the time, Bill Ford said the company had been caught off guard by the speed of the consumer shift away from pickups and SUVs to more fuel-efficient vehicles — a shift that has largely benefited Asian automakers at the expense of domestic companies.
Bruce Clark, lead auto analyst at Moody's Investors Service, said Mullally faces a "daunting task in attempting to reshape Ford's operating model" as demand shifts rapidly away from trucks.
"However, he comes to the company with a strong background in
engineering, manufacturing and product development." Clark said in a statement. "We think that this will be a valuable skill set as he fills the CEO position at Ford."
"It just shows you how tough things have gotten at Ford," said George Magliano, an auto analyst at consulting company Global Insight. He said the biggest task facing Ford is to reshape its product strategy to cope with high gas prices and Mulally should bring in a new product guru.
"I think the feeling was they needed to show the financial community and the rest of the industry that they're ready to make sweeping changes," Magliano said.
Bill Ford said he would continue to be highly involved in the company as executive chairman.
"I'm not going anywhere." Ford said. "I was born with the Ford Motor Company and I'll die with the Ford Motor Company."

After months of contention, Mexico selects president-elect
BY WILL WEISSERT ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Felipe Calderon was declared president-elect Tuesday after two months of uncertainty, but his ability to rule effectively remained in doubt with rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador vowing to lead a parallel leftist government from the streets.
The unanimous decision by the
Federal Electoral Tribunal rejected allegations of systematic fraud and awarded Calderon the presidency by 233,831 votes out of 41.6 million cast in the July 2 elections — a margin of 0.56 percent. The ruling cannot be appealed.
Calderon now must win over millions of Mexicans angry that President Vicente Fox, who is from Calderon's party, didn't make good on promises of sweeping change
-- and ferd off thousands of radicalized leftists who say they will stop at nothing to undermine his presidency.
Calderon invited opposition parties, including Lopez Obrador's Democratic Revolution, to begin talks to try to end the two-month-long electoral standoff.
"We can have different opinions, but we aren't enemies," he said.
— who have split their votes in disputes about other elections — also found that Fox endangered the election by making statements that favored Calderon, and that business leaders broke the law by paying for ads against Lopez Obrador, who promised to govern on behalf of the poor.
But the problems weren't serious enough to annul the results, they said.
"There are no perfect elections",
Judge Alfonsina Berta Navarro
Hidalgo said.
"Now, more than ever, is the time for unity," Fox said. Fox and
Fox, in a televised speech, defended his actions, saying they were always within the law. He also congratulated Calderon and called for a national dialogue.
Calderon are expected to meet on Wednesday.
The court's president, Leonel Castillo, called on Mexicans to unite and mend the deep divisions the election revealed.
The court rejected most of Lopez Obrador's allegations, including his claim that an ad campaign comparing him to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez unfairly swayed voters. The court also dismissed Lopez Obrador's claim of subliminal messages in television ads by pro-Calderon businesses.
Lopez Obrador, whose support is dwindling but becoming more radical, said he will not recognize the new government.
"I hope we conclude this electoral process leaving confrontation behind," he said.
Markets, which had expected Tuesday's ruling, were unchanged. World leaders, including Japan's prime minister and several Central
WIN FREE TICKETS
American presidents, congratulated Calderon on his victory.
CCCC
Tuesday's ruling came two months, three days, and tens of thousands of pages of legal challenges after voters cast their ballots. In comparison, the U.S. presidential election of 2000 remained in dispute for only 35 days.
The decision was unlikely to end the demonstrations that have crippled Mexico City's center or to heal the nation's growing political divide.
new governor has vowed to block Lopez Obrador has vowed to block Calderon from taking power Dec. 1. Protesters outside the tribunal wept as the decision was announced and set off firecrackers that shook the building.
Lopez Obrador has called on his followers to remain peaceful. His movement has become increasingly radicalized since the election, and polls indicate he lost support after lawmakers from his party blocked Fox's last state-of-the-nation address on Friday.

Steve Holland/ASSOCIATED PRESS
A young boy looks at display of flowers outside Australia Zoo on Tuesday at Beerwah, home of Australian international media personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin who died on the Great Barrier Reef in far north Queensland, Australia on Monday. Irwin, known as The Crocodile Hunter, was killed Monday by a stingray bark to his heart while filming a new television series.
Tape shows Irwin's death
'Crocodile Hunter' pulled out stingray's barb in his final moments
BY DENNIS PASSA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEERWAH, Australia — Steve Irwin pulled a poisonous stingray barb from his chest in his dying moments, his long-time manager said Tuesday, after watching videotape of the attack that killed the popular "Crocodile Hunter."
Irwin's body was returned home to Beerwah, a hamlet in southeastern Queensland where he lived with his wife and two young children. Irwin turned a modest reptile park opened by his parents into Australia Zoo, a wildlife reserve that has become an international tourist attraction.
Hundreds placed bouquets and handwritten notes at an ad hoc shrine to the popular 44-year-old naturalist outside the
park.
State police Superintendent Michael Keating said Irwin was "interacting" with the stingray when it flicked its tail and speared his chest with the bone-hard serrated spine it bore
— the normally placid animal's main defense mechanism.
"There is no evidence Mr Irwin was threatening or intimidating the stingray," Keating said, addressing speculation that a man who became famous by leaping on crocodiles and snatching up snakes must have been too close for the animal's comfort.
Australia's leaders interrupted Parliament's normal business to eulogize Irwin.
Friend and Oscar-winner Russell Crowe said from New York, "He was and remains the ultimate wildlife warrior."
The U.S. Embassy issued a statement saying Irwin was an unofficial Australian ambassador to the United States.
Meanwhile, Animal Planet said it had given no thought to taking "The Crocodile Hunter" off the air, said Maureen Smith, the network's executive vice president.
Irwin was filming a new series, "Ocean's Deadliest Predators," for Animal Planet. He and his crew were trying to film tiger sharks, but the water was too muddy so he decided to do a segment on sting rays, instead.
Smith said she wasn't aware whether enough filming had been done on "Ocean's Deadliest Predators" for anything to make it on the air.

Turkey troops to aid cease-fire
MIDDLE EAST
Muslim country's troops deployed to keep Hezbollah-Israel peace
BY TODD PITMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Turkey on Tuesday became the first Muslim country with diplomatic ties to Israel to pledge troops to an expanding international peacekeeping force that will monitor a fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah.
Hundreds of Lebanese army troops rolled into southern villages after Israeli soldiers withdrew from five of them, slow but steady steps toward implementing a U.N.-brokered peace plan agreed last month.
U. N. chief Kofi Annan said he could get some positive news within two days on a deal to convince Israel to lift its blockade of Lebanon.

Ruling party lawmakers in Turkey voted in favor of the deployment of peacekeeping troops despite objections from opposition parties and street protests by thousands.
While many Turks regard the Lebanon peacekeeping mission as a dangerous venture, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party insisted on contributing. He argued it would raise Turkey's profile on the international stage. Turkey, which has diplomatic relations with Israel, is aspiring to join the European Union.

City's total ban of skateboards on campus needs revision
We support the efforts of the students who want to make longboarding legal on campus, but we would go further: Allow skateboarding and longboarding with some limitations.
The city of Lawrence has prohibited skateboarding in some public areas since August 1987, with the most recent revision of the ordinance being made in July 1996. At the University of Kansas, the restricted area spans from West Campus Road to 13th Street and 1,000 feet from either side of Jayhawk Boulevard.
The interests of both skateboarders and people who use the sidewalks must be weighed and a compromise reached.
Many students rely on skateboards for transportation and skateboarding generally poses no more of a threat than does driving an automobile or riding a bicycle or motorcycle.
However, some skateboarders may lack the same control drivers and bicyclists have and others might damage property by grinding ledges and handrails. We suggest that the city commissioners consider the policy of the University of Colorado at Boulder for guidance.
The university allows skateboarding on campus, but the skateboard's wheels must not leave the pavement while the rider skates. This rule prevents airborne skateboards from injuring pedestrians and damaging property. It's also not allowed on certain campus sidewalks during times of heavy pedestrian traffic.
Lt. Tim McGraw of the University of Colorado Police Department says that he hasn't seen an increase in skateboard-related injuries since the policy was implemented.
Riding a skateboard proficiently takes time and practice, so unskilled skateboarders should stay off their boards if they think they might pose a danger to themselves or others.
If Lawrence wants to accommodate all of its citizens, the city should rework its unfair blanket ban on skateboarding on campus.

Three things to know about college men, wome
For Men
If you're a woman, look away! This section is for men only.
Men, women try to give us a bad rap, and it is undeserved. They think we don't listen, or that we just "don't care" in general.
Oh well, we don't really care if they think we don't listen. We men are great to our women, and they are lucky for us to be so genuine to them, even though they all think we are stupid, which is hurtful. Men are wise and wholesome.
Here are three things to know about University of Kansas women to better help your success with them.
1. Women think "Step Up" is a good movie.
Why? Because there is dancing, cheesy romance and a guy with his shirt off. Women like movies for the dumbest reasons.
"Step Up" is just the latest in the "Grease," "Dirty Dancing" and "Save the Last Dance" series. What this means for you is you either need to learn to enjoy these movies, or at least learn how to go into the ultimate, two-hour-long day dream.
At some point you will have to watch these movies, and if you're not on your best behavior, it's the
couch for you. If you're good, maybe you'll earn a treat, like Chinole.
Women really need to learn to appreciate "Predator."
2. Women have powerful senses.
Not only will they live longer than us, but if you so much as think about farting, she'll smell it.
They also have amazing hearing capabilities. So, go ahead and talk to that other girl. Just be careful. Keep it sly and cool like we always do, like Zack Morris, or even Sly from "California Dreams."
Women also have one more powerful sense. They're like blood-hounds when it comes to lies. If you lie to them, they'll know. Always have an alibi.
3. Women have naked pillow fights.
That's because the first rule of Secret Naked Pillow Fighting Club is you don't talk about Secret Naked Pillow Fighting Club. We know in our hearts there is such a club, and it is wonderful.
Ask any woman if they have naked pillow fights and if there is a secret pillow fighting society, and they will say no.
There is a secret woman covenant that meets randomly at night to have naked pillow fights.
For Women
If you're a man reading this, mind your own business for five minutes. Go do the Sudoku or something.
Women, sometimes you are hard on men, but it is totally deserved. It seems like they really just don't care most of the time. Not to mention how poorly they sometimes treat you.
Here are three things to know that may help you bear living with men.
And how can they not like movies like "Step Up?" It's got a good plot, stellar acting, dancing and the guy is super hot! Watch that movie with your boyfriend. If he behaves during it, reward him with Chipotle
1. Men are easily entertained.
Men are very immature by nature, as you all know. Give them a bag of Cheetos and an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie and you've bought yourself two hours of shopping time.
2. Men think they are smarter than you.
Men think they can feed you lines of crap, and that you will believe them. They lie incessantly, and think you will never find out

why they blew you off.
Men think you don't realize he is talking to some random girl, even if you're right next to him. Is he really that dumb?
Yes, he is. Which brings us to our third point.
3. Men are super dumb.
Men are so dumb they actually think you have naked pillow fights with your friends. How ridiculous is that?
I promise, men are as dumb as they look.
They believe there is a Super Secret Naked Pillow Fighting Club. If a guy ever asks you if there is a club, say no and kick him in the shin, third grade recess style.

Women who wear less shouldn't be labeled 'sluts'
I recognize that Ms. Hartz's article on "less-is-more" (8/30, "KU women need to put on some clothes") is a tongue-in-cheek attempt to address the presence of skimpy outfits on campus, a visible result of a culture that objectifies and exploits the sexuality of women. I found parts of the article amusing enough; however, a few key blunders in Ms. Hartz's word choice left
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I am not one of the "skanky" perpetrators of whom she speaks. I prefer to keep my goods under wraps. Nonetheless, I was very upset that Ms. Hartz refers to scantily-clad women as "slut." A woman should never be labeled a slut simply because she dons a belly-baring tube top and a micro-mini. No matter how humorous Mrs. Hartz's arti-
me disappointed.
I would love if images of sexually objectified women disappeared from the media and from campus, but labeling women who let it all hang out as "sluts" sets any progress back a few decades or so.
COMMENTARY
Sept.11 exhibit reminds us what memorials mean
Katherine McCue Overland Park senior
Heroes live on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union.
that these women "asked for it."
cle is supposed to be, there is nothing funny about how the word "slut" is used. A detrimental and invalid association between skimpy clothing and promiscuity exists today. This ill-conceived relationship leads to situations where women are treated like sluts or whores, where women are harassed or even raped since their choice in clothes seems to give some people the impression
Immortalized in metal and print, the names and faces of the University's World War I veterans stare from opposing walls at those who take the stairs to the top floor of the Union.
Just down the hall from those man-sized memorials to an 80-year-old war lives Superman.
He has a small home: two framed comic book pages hang just past the elevators.
Except he's not really the hero here. He stands in for the men and women of United Flight 93, whose sacrifice prevented further tragedy on Sept.11.
It is an unexpected and poignantly appropriate memorial to events that still shape our lives.
"They're heroes of the highest order." Arnett said. "It was easy to connect them to a real-life Justice League."
Like the events of that day, though, even this simple comic isn't so easy to categorize. Arnett's parents, Carl and Melissa, were married on Sept. 11, 1967. They celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary the day the towers fell.
Arnett gave his parents the comic for their next anniversary in 2002. He said he wanted to try to give them their day back.
Maybe that's why it has stuck in the back of my head for the past five months. I discovered it while wandering the halls of the Union one afternoon. A reader had suggested I check out the World War I plaques
Later, Arnett asked David Mucci,
director of Memorial Unions, if he
would be interested in the work.
"I was looking for a way to tie everything together," he said. "From that day, from my life."
Mucci said the simplicity of the artwork attracted him.
Tell your stories. Listen to others.
Remember lest the memorials lose their meaning.
"There's not a lot of verbiage, it just cuts to the issue, the shock," he said. "It's a really simple, elegant piece. You walk into it and you're hit by it."
Arnett's comic will always tell a story. Future readers may find a different story or meaning in it, but the emotion will survive.

Memorials without stories eventually fade — in color and richness. Few probably remember the stories of the men whose pictures hang just down from Arnett's Superman. In another generation, likely no one will be able to tell their stories.
As we strive to find eternal memorials to the people who died that day, let us not forget their humanity. I fear that we may end up losing their stories in our quest to build the perfect memorial or the tallest tower.
The contrast between the memorials fascinated me. The elder ones are but collections of names and faces. What should be two of the most personal aspects of a man rendered impersonal and cold by time and medium.
Later this month, the architect of Freedom Tower will be on campus discussing his vision for Ground Zero. The families of the passengers on Flight 93 are still working toward a memorial at the site of the crash.
on the sixth floor.
Then there is the comic. Just black ink on white paper. The musings of Arnett as he watches Superman flying overhead. It tells a story so much deeper and richer than that though. Loss, pain, confusion and hope wind their way through his words and drawings.
I've learned many things in life, but the greatest thing I've ever learned is: Candyland makes the best drinking game ever.
This goes out to Steve Irwin: Rest in peace buddy. We love you.
As we approach the five-year anniversary of Sept. 11, bureaucrats, survivors and victims' families talk of how and where to memorialize.

Tailgate at Memorial Stadium and the surrounding areas
DIE-HARD TAILGATERS CONTINUE TRADITION
why
To support the team, spend time with friends and get pumped up for the game
Fans gear up for home football games with friends, family and food
BY ZACH RAINEY
Early Saturday morning, car loads of adults and children began filling the parking lots and fields surrounding Memorial Stadium.
Football fans put up tents and flags in no time, and the scent of freshly lit charcoal filled the air.
The tradition of tailgating before KU football games was officially under way.
David Shannon, the winner of Columbia Bank's Tailgate of the Week, arrived at 8 a.m. Saturday.
"People need to get out here earlier," Shannon, Lawrence resident, said. "Getting here early and coming often is part of the fun. I'm a Texas Tech alum, and we start tailgating Thursday evening for Saturday's football game."
Shannon, a season ticket holder, brings family and friends to tailgate for every home game. He hasn't missed a home tailgate in the past four years.
Every game, Shannock's camp
includes a satellite TV to keep up with other games, a speaker system for setting a lively mood, a cooler of beer and, of course, a grill to cook burgers, brats and hot dogs.
But food and alcohol aren't the only necessities for a successful tailgate.
"It's not all about the food and drink — the people you're with are important too." Ken Hare, Overland Park, resident, said.
"Family and friends — that's the important thing at a tailgate," jack Dunbar Kansas City, Mo., resident, said.
Three generations of Jayhawks, as well as several future Jayhawks, were at Dunbar's tailgate.
"Bad weather, bird game, we come no matter what." Durnbar said.
Nothing can stop some tailgaters from supporting their Jayhawks at home games.
Donbar has been tailgating at home games for the past 15 years. But he doesn't stop at just home games.
Last season he and his family traveled to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Fort Worth Bowl as well as Boulder, Colo.
With the grill-produced cloud hovering over the areas surrounding Memorial Stadium, student-run
Throughout the day, more tailgaters pulled into the grassy hills surrounding Memorial Stadium.
"Tailgaxing on grass is so much better than on concrete. It's less stuffy down here and there's more room for the kids to run around and throw the football," Jim Pusmore, Lawrence resident, said. "It's not so cheese and wine on the grass as it is in the parking lots."
Talligating also provides families with an excuse to visit their relatives in college.
"It was nice tailgating with my whole family," Amy Johnson, Leawood freshman, said. "It's not every day my aurits, uncles, grandparents and cousins get together just to hang out. And they didn't mind getting to visit me either."
tailgates are plentiful.
Students, including several fraternities, host tailgating parties for a variety of reasons.
"Talgating is a great excuse to get drunk while the sun is still up"
Telbel, Tebel, Overland Park senior, sald. Telbel is a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
Alcohol was a common theme at all tailgates, both student and parent-run.
For freshmen, though, alcohol wasn't an option. Freshmen Rob Conard and Andrew Patterson, both of Overland Park, taliated for one reason: "The chicks, man, the chicks," they both said.
Whether students or adults, these fares share a common idea: that tailgating is the ultimate pastime.

NCAA
New rule changes compel faster play
BY C.J. MOORE
The NCAAs rule changes to shorten the length of football games appear to be working.
This Saturday marked the first time in two years that a KU football game lasted less than 3 hours.
To please a football-fan base with an ever-decreasing attention span, the NCAA wrote three rule changes this offseason to shorten the length of football games that consistently lasted more than 3.5 hours.
The clock starts on a change of possession when the official whistles the game into play. Previously, it started when the ball was snapped.
> On kickoffs, the clock now starts when the kicker's foot makes contact with the ball, instead of when the receiving team first touches the ball.
> Kicking tees have been shortened to one inch to try to reduce the number of touchbacks.
Saturday's game against Northwestern State ended in 2 hours, 57 minutes. The last time a KU football game ended in less than 3 hours occurred on Nov. 6, 2004, when Kansas played Colorado at Memorial Stadium in 2 hours, 55 minutes.
Last season, KU football games lasted an average of 3 hours and 20 minutes. When Kansas opened the season in 2005 against another Division 1-AA team, Florida Atlantic, the game was 23 minutes longer than Saturday's game.
Coaches across the country stand on opposite sides of the NCAA's decision. Some coaches, like KU Kansas' coach Mark Mangino, don't seem bothered, while others seem ready to demand that the NCAA negate the changes.
negate the changes.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is worried that the changes will hurt his team's prolific offense, which translates into more points the more plays the Red Raiders are able to run. Whether the rule changes affect the number of points scored remains unclear, but less time decreases the number of plays during a game.

"I think the new rule clock rules are stupid," Leach said. "We talk about football, football, football, and we do all we can to have less football."
ball.
Mangino addressed the issue last month at KU football's media day. Mangino is more worried about adjusting to rule changes than getting it back to the way it was.
"I want to take a wait-and-see attitude about these changes, but I am concerned that we have to make adjustments ourselves. We have to get our offensive and defensive units and our personnel on the sideline together very quickly," Mangino said. "As coaches, we have to think way ahead before the series starts, both offensively and defensively."
Other coaches in the Big 12, like Texas coach Mack Brown, have similar opinions to Mangino. Brown said the Longhorns had to make adjustments to speed up their two-minute offense before halftime against

Kansas defense performs well
Freshmen played key role in first defensive starts of season
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
The Kansas defense was put to the test early in Saturday's game against Northwestern State — and fared surprisingly well.
On the first two defensive series of the game, Kansas took the field with Northwestern State inside its 30-yard line. Both times, the Demons came away with field goals — a good trend considering that more than half of the defense made their first career starts in the game.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he was encouraged to see the defense handle adversity well at the beginning of the season.
"We have some quality, battle-tested guys on that defense that have been in that position before," Mangino said. "There's a lot of kids
Considering the team's youth, keeping the Demons out of the end zone on those two possessions early in the first quarter was quite an accomplishment. In fact, many of those younger players, played a role in those first two defensive stands.
that have not been in that position before and they responded very well."
In their first defensive starts, both sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera and junior-transfer corner-back Blake Buelllet recorded a tackle in the first series.
On the second series, junior cornerback Saqid Muhmamed forced his first career fumble, stripping the ball from Northwestern State running back Byron Lawrence. The ball, however, bound out of bounds and bounced with the Demons.
Muhammed, a former walk-on who recently earned a scholarship, was described by Mangino as a "steady hand" in the secondary.
"He's a smart guy," Mangino said.
"He gets himself in position to make plays. He knows what he's doing, he's calm and cool."
In just three seasons, Muhammed has gone from the scout team to a starting position. Mangino said Muhammed, the starting free safety, has worked hard on improving his speed and is one of the most improved players in developing speed.
For players who saw their first action as a Jayhawk on Saturday, like redshirt-freshman defensive lineman Caleb Blakesley, the game was an opportunity to clear away any nervousness and focus on the game.
"Once you get those nerves out of the way the first time, you can just get in and really study opponents and understand who you're playing against, and how they play and play hard every time you go out there," Blakesley said.
The Jayhawks rushing defense looked reminiscent of last season's squad, holding the Demons to just 62 yards on 30 carries. It was the 10th time in the last 13 games that Kansas has held an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing. Last season, the Jayhawks were second in the nation in rushing defense, holding opponents to less than 85 yards a game.
One of the challenges facing this season's defense early in the year was identifying a leader to replace former Jayhawks Nick Reid, Banks
Floodman and Kevin Kane.
One of the leaders that has emerged thus far is senior linebacker Eric Washington. Freshman safety Olaitan Oguntodu said Washington had emerged as leader because he always offers advice and guidance to the younger players in practice.
“Our linebackers help the secondary, just like our front lineman helps the linebackers.” Oguntodu said. “I think we really gel together very well because we understand each other and the fact that we're young, but we do not use that as an excuse.”

Manhattan's rotten apples
State of Kansas may soon have new football powerhouse
Was it just me, or did I detect a particularly funky smell around 9:10 p.m. Saturday, emanating from the west? And no, it wasn't cow patches I was smelling, but it did remind me of rotting "little apples."
Right around the time Kansas had finished slopping through its 49-18 beating of I-AA Northwestern State, our lavender-laden brethren to the west, K-State, eked out its own victory against a I-AA opponent, Illinois State, 24-23

Reformed rebel retires from tennis, leaves legacy
I don't know if this is the first column about tennis in the history of this newspaper, but something tells me that past Kansan columnists haven't exactly been having pen fights to determine who gets to share their insights about the sport.
HOLLYWOOD, CA -- JACKSON COUNTY SENIOR ATHLETICS.
There are several reasons why tennis is sandwiched somewhere between soccer and jai alai in the mind of the American sports fan. For example, there's no tailgating before tennis matches, no crashes or bone-jarring hits and no obnoxious music between points.
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
But there is one person in tennis who can influence every American sports fan: Andre Agassi.
Agassi, at the age of 36, ended his remarkable tennis career Sunday after losing in four sets to Benjamin Becker at the U.S. Open
Flushing Meadows was a fitting place for the Las Vegas native to end his career. Twenty years ago, a young, different Agassi began his tennis and life journey there.
Long, blond locks of hair and a gaudy wardrobe showcased his
immaturity. His play was good enough to win Grand Slams, but he was better known for his rebel persona and child-like tantrums. Agassai had an entourage so large that Allen Iverson would be jealous. They made his decisions and put words in his mouth. He shunned Wimbledon because the conservative tournament officials wouldn't allow Agassi's fluorescent garb on the courts.
His life got lost under the clothes he wore. The flash of his apparel blinded people from seeing the real Agassi underneath the extravagant exterior.
Fast forward 20 years to Sunday afternoon. A U.S. Open record crowd cheered raucously for its
hero, who finally succumbed to an aching back that left him nearly immobile in a sport where quick movement is key.
How could tennis fans cheer for a person who seemed more concerned with getting his bandana and earrings to match rather than winning a tennis match?
That's easy. Agassi showed that a real person did live underneath his brazen attire.
It started with Steffi Graf.
First, he divorced his former wife,
Brooke Shields. Then he began
seeing Graf, a former tennis star,
and remodeled his ways.
Tennis became the focal point of his life once again in 1999 as his ranking catapulted from No. 141 to No. 1. Major tennis titles became routine as he polished off the career Grand Slam by winning the French Open and won his eighth and final Grand Slam title in 2001. Agassi's improbable run to the finals of last year's U.S. Open sealed his legendary status.
Philanthropy instead of rebelliousness became Agassi's
new trademark off the court. He launched the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation and has, according to the charity's Web site, collected more than $52 million for underprivileged children in Las Vegas.
After making a surprising run to the third round at this year's Open, Agassi spoke between sobs to his fans for the last time on a tennis court. He could take solace in the fact that he changed into a better person throughout his career and inspired many to do the same thing in their own lives.
Next time you're watching television and see mainstream athletes like Barry Bonds or Terrell Owens reinforcing their already selfish images, I hope you see and learn something from the latest Agassi ad. It contains his new motto and personifies everything the man stands for: Substance is everything.

Big game gets bigger as Ohio, Texas top rankings
BY RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOCIATED PRESS
As if Ohio State at Texas wasn't already a big enough game, now it's No. 1 vs. No. 2.
The Longhorns moved up one spot to No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25 on Tuesday, right behind the top-ranked Buckeyes.
The two powerhouses will square off in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, a much-anticipated rematch of last year's 25-22 victory by Texas in Columbus, Ohio.
It'll be the first time since 1996 that the top two teams in the AP poll will meet in a regular-season game. That year, No. 2 Florida State beat No. 1 Florida 24-21 in mid-November. The Gators and Seminoles met in a rematch in the Sugar Bowl about a month and a half later, and Florida won 52-20 to earn its only national championship.
Ohio State received 39 firstplace votes and 1,568 points in the poll after opening its season with a 35-12 win over Northern Illinois.
Southern California moved up three spots to No. 3 in this week's first regular-season media poll, and Notre Dame slipped two places to No. 4 after a 14-10 victory at Georgia Tech. The Fighting Irish share the fourth spot with Auburn.
Texas, which began its season with a 56-7 win over North Texas, received seven first-place votes and 1,453 points.
Southern California and Auburn each received three first-place votes. Notre Dame got eight; and No. 6 West Virginia had five. The rest of the Top 10 is Florida, LSU, Florida State — up two spots after a 13-10 win over Miami on Monday night
and Michigan.
No. 11 Tennessee made the biggest jump, rising 12 spots after a 35-18 victory over California. Cal, which has its best preseason ranking in more than 50 years, fell from No. 9 to No. 22 after the meltdown in Knoxville.
Miami slipped five spots to No. 17.
Last year's meeting between Texas and Ohio State was the first between the two storied programs. The Longhorns' comeback victory, led by Vince Young, allowed them to clear a major hurdle on the way to their first outright national title since 1969.
That was also the year Texas was last involved in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 regular-season matchup. Texas beat Arkansas in 1969 in one of the most famous games in that rivalry.
The Longhorns are 4-0 in No. 1 against No.2 games, the latest coming last season when they beat USC in the Rose Bowl for the national

19th-seeded Serbian defeats No.4 in two sets
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Jelena Jankovic lost so many matches in a row this year, she lost count. She figured it was probably time to quit tennis and go back to school in Belgrade.
On Tuesday, Jankovic graduated — to her first Grand Slam semifinal, that is — by taking away No. 4 Elena Dementieva serve and
coasting 6-2, 6-1 at the U.S. Open.
"I cannot believe that I won in two sets." Jankovic said. "What was the score? I don't even know the total score."
Steady drizzle did not dampen Jankovic's day. The 19th-seeded Serbian became the first player to reach this year's semifinals at Flushing Meadows, and will face the winner of the match between Lindsay Davenport and Justine
Dementieva let out a shriek midway through the second set when her shot hit the net tape, popped up and landed on her side. The sound echoed through Arthur Ashe Stadium, and she quietly exited a few games later.
The 21-year-old Jankovic posted the biggest victory of her career, winning every game when Dementieva served.
"She didn't give me any chances," Dementieva said. "She was better."
Jankovic said she's had problems in the past with Dementieva's slow, slicing serves. It was hard to tell this time, though.
"It has some slice on the ball and it's a lot slower than all the other players," Jankovic said. "But now I got used to it somehow."
Dementieva has frequently struggled with her serve. She had so much trouble while losing the 2004 Open final to Svetlana Kuznetsova that she served almost everything sidearm, drawing laughs from the crowd.

Summer league provides practice
BY ALISSA BAUER
This summer, left-handed pitcher Andy Marks headed north to get more experience on the field.
Marks, now a Jayhawk sophomore, spent the summer throwing for the Duluth Huskies in Minnesota. The Huskies play in the Northwoods League, a division of the Summer Collegiate Baseball League. The lefty
started just one game last spring, but used the summer to collect 11 regular season and one postseason start.
It also helps that Marks was a successful pitcher for the Huskies. He collected nine victories during 66 innings in his regular-season starts. His ERA barely rose above 2.00, as he finished the regular season at 2.05, allowing 48 hits and just 15 runs.
Besides a trip to the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Marks had never been to Minnesota. Even though Marks spent the entire summer in Duluth and didn't have time to make a
While in Duluth, Marks continued the work he started as a jayhawk. In the 33.2 innings Marks pitched for Kansas last season, he struck out 31 batters and walked 18, mostly in relief roles. As a Husky starter, he walked 30 and struck out 59.
trip home to St. Louis, he has happy memories of his summer.
PETER FERRELL
Marks
"I had a great time," Marks said. "It was good to see a different part of the country."
"I was really excited about it, but mostly excited about my development as a pitcher," Marks said.
Huskies coach David Parra worked with Marks, and called pitches during Marks' outings, contributing to his development. During the summer, Marks focused on new mechanics that resulted in him throwing harder and for more strikes. He also developed a slider to work into his rotation of pitches he plans on using this spring as a layhawk.
"I didn't have the knowledge that I have now, or the confidence," Marks said. "I'm just a totally different pitcher now than I was last spring."
All three of Kansas' starters from its Big 12 tournament championship pitching staff, Sean Land, Ricky Fairchild and Kodiak Quick, are
no longer with the team, leaving coach Ritch Price looking for quality replacements.
"I think when you're a freshman and you play for a top 25 team at a major university, a lot of freshmen get overbooked," the coach said.
"He put it all together this summer," Price said. "We're hoping now that he'll be able to compete for a starting role this spring."
Marks, who tied for the most regular season victories in the Northwoods League, doesn't necessarily think he was overlooked. His role as a relief pitcher last season may have been all he was ready for, although he believes differently now.
"I feel I've grown up
so much," Marks said. "I feel like I can jump in and start on the weekends."
Other Jayhawks were also playing in Dulth. Freshman third baseman Robby Price and junior outfielder Brock Simpson returned to Lawrence in time for classes, but Marks stayed behind. He was scheduled for one more start as a Husky.
With one victory behind in the Northwoods League North Division championship series, Marks started game two against the Thunder Bay Border Cats. Just two outs shy of the complete game, Marks took the loss after allowing three hits and one run. His Huskies lost 1-0. They lost again the next day, ending Duluth's summer.
Four Huskies were named to the Northwoods League postseason All-Star team. Two of them were also Jayhawks. Robby Price, who hit .281 with 27 RBI this summer, and Marks.
"We're excited about these guys," coach Price said. "We're counting on them to step up and replace some big name players."
After his successful summer, Marks could be on his way to becoming a big name player all his own.
"It's such a confidence builder when you can go out there and be one of the better guys on the summer team, and then can bring that back with you to your school team," Marks said.

Colorado, Baylor lose on opening weekend
Ten conference schools come out victorious; new players receive offensive, defensive, special teams honors
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Missouri's starting quarterback Chase Daniel sets to pass during the second half of a football game against Murray State on Saturday in Columbia, Mo. Missouri defeated Murray State 47-7.
Iowa State 45, Toledo 43 (3 OT) Four quarters and two overtimes weren't enough to settle the first Big 12 game of the 2006 season. Tied 37-37 in the third overtime, Iowa State junior quarterback Bret Meyer found junior wide receiver Todd Blythe for a 25-yard touchdown.
Forced to go for a two-point conversion, Meyer used his running ability to get into the endzone. Toledo scored a touchdown on its possession in the third overtime, but failed on the two-point attempt.
Texas 56, North Texas 7
In Texas' first game without quarterback Vince Young, consistency was the key. Texas scored 14 points in each quarter on its way to routing North Texas.

Freshman Colt McCoy was under the microscope Saturday as Texas' new starting quarterback. Like Vince Young, McCoy performed with both his arm and his legs. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 178 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown on four carries.
"He made a great play with his feet on the quarterback draw, and we need him to do that more." Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I thought Colt was as good out of the box today as we could have expected him to be."
Montana State 19, Colorado 10
Montana State 19, Colorado 10
New Colorado senior starting quarterback James Cox couldn't compete with Montana State junior quarterback Cory Carpenter. Cox completed just eight of 22 passes for 110 yards while Carpenter racked up 229 yards and a touchdown.
Although Division I-AA
Montana State never pulled away from Colorado, coach Mike Kramer was confident his team could maintain the lead.

"At no point did I not think that we couldn't win this football game because of our talent level and coaching expertise," Kramer said. "I knew that if we didn't make a big mistake, that we could be there in the fourth quarter."

Nebraska 49, Louisiana Tech 10
Balance was the key for Nebraska on Saturday. The Cornhuskers racked up 332 yards through the air and 252 on the ground, giving opponents a glimpse of what to expect this season.
Showing the most balance were Nebraska's running backs, sophomores Cody Glenn and Marlon Lucky and juniors Brandon Jackson and Kenny Wilson all had carries. Only Wilson will reach to reach the endzone.
"Its working great," Glenn said. "Once someone gets tired, someone else is ready to go. I was satisfied with my carries. Everybody got the carries they thought they would get."
Missouri 47, Murray State 7
The post-Brad Smith era began flawlessly for Missouri behind new starting quarterback Chase Daniel. Daniel, a sophomore, set a new school record for touchdowns in a game with five, and posted 320 passing yards.

"Graham looked good tonight; he did a real good job," senior receiver Robert Johnson said. "He's a Tom Brady; he's a calm guy, he's cool."
10 Oklahoma State's young offense was firing on all cylinders on Saturday. Against Missouri State, now coached by former Kansas coach Terry Allen, Oklahoma State scored 38 points in the first half alone.
Oklahoma State 52, Missouri State 10
Oklahoma State sophomore quarterback Bobby Reid threw four touchdowns on just eight completions, and sophomore running back Mike Hamilton gained 160 rushing yards.
Oklahoma 24, UAB 17
Oklahoma's quest to win the Big 12 South got off to a rocky start, but thanks to junior running back Adrian Peterson, the Sooners salvaged a victory.
Peterson rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown,but his 69-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter gave Oklahoma the lead for good.
"We have got to be better," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "We can't turn the ball over four times and win. We got lucky."
Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee was impressive in his first start outside the shadow of former quarterback Reggie McNeal.
Texas A&M 35, The Citadel 3
In the air, McGee completed 16
of 24 attempts for 200 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, he had 26 yards and another touchdown.
"He's only going to get a little better in his pocket presence as he gets more relationships in doing those things." Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said. "For the most part he was a good field general. He directed the team well and gave them a lot of energy."
Kansas State 24, Illinois State 23
After Illinois State scored a touchdown to come within a point of Kansas State with three minutes left in the game, Illinois State coach Denver Johnson opted to go for a two-point conversion instead of a game-tying extra point.
"I'm tired of these kind of games. It's still a loss," Morriss said. "We need to find a way to win these
However, the attempt failed, and Illinois State turned the ball over on downs on its last possession, sealing a victory for Kansas State for coach Ron Prince's first game.
"Some decisions you make with your head, some decisions you make with your heart, some decisions you make with your gut," Johnson said. "All three — my head, my heart and my gut — told me that our best chance to win the game was right there, right then. I have absolutely no remorse, no second thoughts about that."
Although Baylor was competitive against a ranked team, coach Guy Morriss expressed displeasure for his team's inability to win close games.
The only Big 12 school to play a ranked opponent this weekend, Baylor led TCU until the 1:17 mark of the third quarter on Sunday.

Players of the Week
Three fresh faces in the Big 12 received their first conference Players of the Week honors Monday.
Missouri sophomore quarterback Chase Daniel was named Offensive Player of the Week for his 320-yard, five-touchdown performance. The five touchdowns were a Missouri single-game record.
Kansas State sophomore defensive end Ian Campbell was named Defensive Player of the Week after recording eight solo tackles, five for losses, and three sacks.
Oklahoma State freshman kick returner Perrish Cox was named Special Teams Player of the Week. In his college football debut, Cox returned the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown.

But our program is rising, not falling. You see, that smell of change is Kansas on its way to enjoying the type of success K-State enjoyed in the '90s, while K-State can expect to enjoy — or writhe — in what the Jayhawks experienced. And yes, a few good years are plausible for K-State. Consider it a football swap.
The justification for all this talk starts with the move that K-State made after coach Bill Snyder retired. With 2003 as his real swan song, Snyder, who spent more time in his office than Ell Roberson
spent in female's hotel rooms, knew his best days were behind him. A 9-13 record over the past two seasons helped confirm that.
Snyder's departure was interesting in the sense that it made you wonder what kind of coach the Wildcats would bring in to replace him.
The thing is, while some might have thought big-name, or at least name-recognition guys might show some interest, they never did. You heard names like Gary Patterson, a proven D-I coach at TCU, or Jim Leavitt, the South Florida coach

who helped turn the K-State program around. Both guys, K-State guys at that, never even seriously considered the opportunity to coach in Manhattan.

Yeah, and Snyder coached under the legendary Hayden Fry, who also happened to tutor guys like Barry Alvarez, Bob Stoops, Kirk Ferentz and Dan McCarney among others. Prince learned from...Al Groh?
I mean no disrespect to K-State, but trouble lies ahead. Losing three quarterbacks to transfer isn't very reassuring, and the fact that it is Manhattan you're recruiting to — Junction City is a hotspot... right? — doesn't bode well for Wildcat fans. At least now you've got Bob Huggins.
K-Staters said of Prince's relative obscurity, "Bill Snyder was hired out of nowhere, look what he did."

Season starts this week, improve team before it's too late
>> FANTASY FOOTBALL
BY EVAN HENGEL
It's week one of the fantasy football season, a time when every manager across the world thinks, "Wow, I drafted the greatest team in fantasy football history."
BY EVAN HENGEL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EHENGEL@KANSAN.COM
Well, before you decide what size you want your championship T-shirt in, let me tell you how you can still improve your team before the season starts.
1) Travis Henry, running back, Tennessee Titans. Remember this guy with the Buffalo Bills? In the two years he started, he averaged 1,397
Listed below are five players that are still available in most leagues. They may not be immediate impact players, but if stashed on your bench for a couple weeks, it could determine whether you'll be in your league's playoffs come December, or scouring the Internet for a good fantasy hockey league. If these guys are available in your league, jump on them like you would a fumbled punt return.
First, here's my quick list of players to drop: Domanick Davis, Billy Volek, Curtis Martin, and anybody having anything to do with the 49ers.
yards and 12 touchdowns. Sounds pretty good for a guy who is only owned in 13.5 percent of ESPN.com fantasy leagues. If he can beat out the fragile Chris Brown for the starting spot, the addition of Henry will be an absolute steal.
2) Kerry Collins, quarterback,
Tennessee Titans. Collins put up
good numbers in the first half of last
year with Oakland and, when sober,
actually has a pretty good arm.
3) Jerious Norwood, running back, Atlanta Braves. It's possible that he's a distant cousin of former Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood, but don't expect any misfires from this Norwood in the clutch. He averaged six yards per carry his senior year at Mississippi State, and with an Atlanta rushing offense that put up a league-leading 159 yards per game last year, he could put up similar
numbers should 180-pound Warrick Dunn get accidently washed down the drain while taking a shower.
4) Greg Jennings, wide receiver, Green Bay Packers. Having unseated the always dangerous Robert Ferguson (one career 100-yard game) as the No.2 receiver for Green Bay, Jennings, who has displayed big-play potential in training camp, should get plenty of looks. Hey, Brett Favre has to have someone to aim at when he throws his interceptions.
5) Doug Gabriel, wide receiver, New England Patriots. The Patriots acquired Gabriel in a trade with the Raiders on Sunday. It's hard for me to believe that a fifth-round pick was all the Pats had to give up for a receiver with great athleticism, good hands, solid blocking skills, and a good work ethic. After losing David Givens to the Titans, and with Deion Branch doing his best Terrell Owens impersonation, Gabriel's arrival to Foxboro is the only thing keeping Tom Brady off the ledge.

CLOCK (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
North Texas. Texas got the ball with 2:34 left and had to speed its attack.
Brown noticed that the changes also affected the length of the game.
"The game was shorter," Brown said. "I looked up, and it was about a three-hour game. Normally games are between 3:15-3:30 on the average. I think our average last year was 3:15. Games are going to go quicker."
Although Brown was mistaken - the Texas game actually lasted
3 hours, 29 minutes - a lengthy instant replay review extended the game time.
Texas was also on television Saturday. Games played on television traditionally take longer. Last season, Kansas played only two regionally televised games and one nationally televised game. The game on national TV against Houston in the Fort Worth Bowl took 3 hours, 42 minutes. Some coaches think television caused the rule change
and would rather have the NCAA ignore the demand to shorten games for television.
"From what I understand, TV spawned the whole thing, and if we're going to let TV dictate things like that, we're kind of letting the tail wag the dog." Leach said.
In the Big 12, the average length of the games over the weekend was 3 hours, 8 minutes, with three games finishing in less than 3 hours. The longest game over the weekend was
the Iowa State, Toledo contest, which went to overtime and ended in 3 hours, 38 minutes.
During the opening weekend of last season, the average game length in the Big 12 (excluding Texas A&M) was 3 hours, 26 minutes.

Tiger Woods and his caddie Steve Williams celebrate Woods' birdie on the 17th hole in the Deutsche Bank Championship golf tournament at the TPW of Boston in Norton, Mass., on Monday. Woods won the tournament, his fifth straight PGA Tour victory, with 16-under par.
Will Woods ever lose again?
Tiger wins fifth consecutive tournament a second time
BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
Vijay Singh had a smile on his face when it was over. the kind of dazed smile we should be accustomed to by now because it's been on the faces of a lot of guys who have teed it up in recent weeks against Tiger Woods.
Singh didn't have much to say.
There wasn't much he could say.
Really, there's not much left to be said.
he can possibly,
He will, of course, because golf
can be a maddening game, even if
your first name is Tiger.
Woods has now won five tournaments in a row. Watch him shoot a 63 in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Classic and you wonder how he can possibly lose again.
For now, though, be content to watch greatness. Savor the moment so you can tell your grandchildren you were there during the day when one man was so mentally tough and physically gifted that he could seemingly his way to victory.

ming. "Everything can always be better."
Enjoy him, because golf may never see the likes of a Tiger Woods again.
He overhauled his swing once even after winning big early in his career. He did it again after winning seven of 11 majors at one stretch, presumably because he figured he should have won them all.
Woods is close to becoming a billionaire but, in an era of pampered pros who are content just to earn a nice living, he plays as though he doesn't have two nickels to rub together.
are today. The words might sound arrogant, coming as they do from someone who has won five tournaments, including two major championships, in a row. But the best always have a touch of arrogance in them, and Woods is no exception.
So now it's five in a row, though you get the feeling that Woods isn't as impressed with the winning streak as his fellow competitors might be. It's a career to them, but to the game's best player it's merely a summer fling.
"I could always hit the ball better, chip better, put better, think better," Woods said.
that's partly because Woods has already won six in a row once. And even he considers the record of 11 straight during the final year

although Thompson. He'll go into next year's Masters as a prohibitive favorite to win his fifth green jacket, and a win at the U.S. Open at Oakmont would give him the Tiger Slam for the second time in his career.
Assuming he wins those — and it's hard not to — he would have a chance to win the real Grand Slam and edge tantalizingly close to the record of 18 major championships now held by Jack Nicklaus.
Nicklaus, of course, is generally regarded as the best player ever. But he never won tournaments in bunches, and he never held all four major titles at once like Woods might for the second time next year.
Woods needs only 21 PGA Tour wins to pass Nicklaus for second place in overall wins, and seven major championships to overtake him in the category that means the most. He'll get those, and by the time he's in his mid-30s he will likely break the record held by Sam Snead of 82 tour wins.
By then, Woods won't have anybody left to chase. He will have to motivate himself by trying to set the bar so high that no one will ever break his records.

Enterprising graduates open up shop after school
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Everything was going well for Michael "Woody" Woodring. He had just opened The Bull, 1344 Tennessee St. It was opening day, a Thursday in February. The sun was shining and it was 70 degrees. There was only one problem: Nobody showed.
Nobody showed "This isn't going to work out," he said at the time.
But two hours after he turned the neon signs on, the bar was packed.
Woodring opened The Bull, formerly Bullwinkle's, after taking control of the bar in mid-January. He graduated from the University of Kansas last December.
Brothers Jon and Paul Peach and Phil Peck opened Pita Pit, 1011 Massachusetts St. on Jan. 20. Jon graduated from William Jewell in 2001. Paul transferred to Arizona State after attending the University of Kansas for a year. He graduated in 2004. Peck graduated from ASU in 2003.
The three were sitting together a couple summers ago, brainstorming, trying to figure out what to do with their lives, Jon said. A Pita Pit had been successful on the ASU campus. After talking for a month about opening a restaurant, the friends went to a bank to discuss their options.
Jon said they were rejected by 25 banks and were told that a majority of new restaurants failed.
"There was a point when this wasn't going to happen," Jon said. Paul made a final call to another bank.
"You graduate and you're trying to figure yourself out," Jon said. "And we took on a $250,000 project."
"The banker believed in us, he took us under his wing," Jon said.
project. Unlike the Pita Pit owners, Woodring didn't have to struggle to secure a loan to open The Bull. He was eating lunch at The Wheel when he overheard the owner, Rob Farha, talking to someone on the phone about Bullwinkle's being for sale. Woodring walked outside and called his dad.
The three secured the loan, but there was some initial nervousness about opening a business.
UNDERAGE DRINKERS GET BEER WITH EASE
》 NIGHTLIFE
SEE GRADUATES ON PAGE 4A
Weeknights don't stop crowds from gathering at The Crossing, 618 W. 12th St., where they filled the deck Tuesday night. The bar is popular among college students, including some who aren't 21. Aaron Blair, manager of The Crossing, said the bar has received at least 10 minor in possession citations since the beginning of the semester.
Students find ways to drink illegally at bars and parties
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A young man with wide, unfocused eyes who was holding a cup of beer bolted down an alley behind a house as a Lawrence police officer's flashlight beam followed him.
His girlfriend hissed his name and told him to stop running. "Austin! Austin, get back here!"
Austin. Neal. "Get out of here! Go home!" the officer shouted to the running man and to the small crowd that was now scurrying from a broken-up house party.
The officer knew that some of the young people fleeing the party could be underage drinkers.
It was the weekend in Lawrence and for some students that means alcohol
It's something most freshmen find out quickly: Consuming alcohol in Lawrence often doesn't even require a fake ID. To prove it, Sheigh pulls out his own driver's license and holds a constantly full cup of beer in his other hand.
Being underage never stops them, Sheigh said. Employees watch the door and sometimes check IDs. But Sheigh never needs to use a fake ID.
"Even the cops know we drink"
he said. "Everyone knows."
He won't be 21 until 2008. His friends Cole and Jess seem ner-
Blair said that The Crossing wasn't supposed to serve patrons who weren't yet 21, but that underage drinkers inevitably slipped through.
He said that when the bar got busy, things got confusing. Bartenders could serve a patron of legitimate age, who could turn around and give it to an underage friend.
That's what it means for Sheigh. Thursdays or Fridays, the 18-year-old freshman gathers up his friends from their residence halls and they all walk to The Crossing.
Or sometimes underage patrons
simply walk up and buy beer themselves. Sheigh and his friends usually do that, though they said it was easy to get fake IDs if necessary. The general chaos of a bar on the weekend also helps savvy underage drinkers slip in.
Aaron Blair, manager of The Crossing, said the popular bar had received at least 10 minor in possession (MIP) citations from Alcohol Beverage Control since the semester began.
"When I want beer, I can get beer here?" She said.
On Friday night, The Crossing's patio was stuffed with young patrons. A marching pep band stopped by after 10 p.m. to blast cheering drinkers with rousing anthems.
Eric, another 18-year-old freshman, admitted to buying alcohol at The Crossing, but he also said venues like it were important to the student community.

New group to defend, safeguard Gl rights
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Four KU students appeared on the cover of the September issue of Veterans of Foreign Wars magazine, but what spawned from the photo shoot was an idea for a group at the University of Kansas called the Collegiate Veterans Association.
Dan Parker, McPherson sophomore, Evan Hoyt, Neodesha sophomore, Charlie House, Garnett junior, and Ben Lockwood, Prince George, Va., junior, were all featured in an article titled "From Combat to College: War Veterans on Campus."
During the shoot, Parker and Hoyt discussed how there was no social support system for veterans on campus. From there, the University group, which was approved recently by the Student Involvement and Leadership center, was born.
"The club provides one voice that's been missing on this campus for a long time," Parker, the group's president, said. "We are a non-partisan group. We are not pro-war, we are pro-veteran."
Parker said he wanted the club to mobilize the veteran base, so it could become active in protecting veterans's rights. The group will help cut through red tape and provide a central point of contact, Hoyt, the group's vice president, said.
index
Parker said the government did not always keep its promises to veterans. For example, Parker said the Montgomery GI Bill, which is an educational and financial benefit for veterans, was not always paid on time, setting some students back.
Parker also said that because the U.S. department of Veterans affairs, which hands out the GI Bill, lacks enough resources, his tuition isn't even close to covered. He said during the last five years, the GI Bill had only increased about 15 percent, a minimal percentage compared to the amount tuition has increased at the University.

Freshman student senate election winners announced; five beat out 28 other candidates
Five freshmen cast their lots with Student Senate on Wednesday after two days of elections.
Mason Heilman of Lawrence, Adam McGonigle of Wichita, Scott Toland of Iola, David Wilcox of Manhattan and Alison Zeiger of Los Banos, Phillipines, won the spots set aside for freshmen after a one-and-a-half week campaign encompassing 33 candidates.
Andrew Payne, Garden City senior and Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, said 2,702 votes were cast during the voting period on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each student is allowed to vote for five candidates,
making the actual number of students voting difficult to know, though likely substantially less.
Payne estimated about 700 students, or 15 percent of the freshman class, voted. He said voter turnout was similar to last year's freshmen elections.
Heilman studies political science and education and is a member of the Marching Jayhawks and the First Baptist Student Fellowship. He is interested in politics and hopes to pursue a career in the field. He said he wanted to make sure freshmen were aware and informed of everything available to them.

ALLIANCE, Neb. — Talk about extra innings.
A baseball game that began at 10 a.m. Saturday in Alliance ended Sunday at 4:05 p.m.
That's 30 hours and five minutes between the first pitch and the final out.
Forty players, ranging in age from 18 to 44, rotated in and out of the 84-inning game in hopes of setting a Guinness World Record for the longest baseball game.
The record stands at 25 hours, set in Canada nearly three years ago.
Alliance organizers tried to beat the record last year, but that game ended at 24 hours,16 minutes.
This year's game was won by the Alliance Times-Herald
Dragons, which beat the WESTCO Knights by a score of 120 to 114.
Later this month, a 10-cent stamp from the 1920s will go up for auction at the Stamp Center near Wilmington, Del. The stamp carries the likeness of President James Monroe, but it's the stamp's border that makes it unique. Instead of the usual 11 perforation holes, this stamp has only 10 across the top due to a production error.
The owner, retired electrician Charles Jacobs, could get as much as $50,000 for the imperfect stamp.

"We're very aware of the spiders," said Guthrie spokeswoman Melodie Bahan. "It's hard not to notice them."
Bahan said Guthrie employees spotted the spiders about a month ago.
Most staffers aren't bothered by the arachnids, but one staffer is keeping them out of sight by putting Post-it notes on the window of her third-story office. When the spiders move, so do the Post-its, Bahan said.
An entomologist with the University of Minnesota said the Guthrie is in prime spider territory. Jeff Hahn said spiders are more plentiful near water because that's where their food source — insects often start out life as aquatic larva.

City approves traffic experiment near campus
Pedestrians who risk crossing busy intersections close to campus may find relief in the upcoming months.
The Lawrence City Commission approved a 90-day trial "No Turn On Red When Pedestrians are Present" sign at the intersection of 19th and Tennessee Streets Tuesday, 4-1, with Mayor Mike Amyx in disagreement.
Members of the traffic safety commission said such a policy would be hard to enforce late at night and on weekends.
Amyx suggested completely forbidding right turns on red at the intersection.
City Commissioner Sue Hack said it was an important decision because the sign would force drivers to look both ways at the
Safety commission members also cited the campus area of 21st and Kentucky streets as a danger to pedestrians because of the streets' lack of sidewalks.

Father of 'Crocodile Hunter'says his son knew of the risks; fans visit zoo
BY DENNIS PASSA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEERWAH, Australia — "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, killed in a stingray attack this week, knew the risks involved in his work and often discussed the possibility he might die doing it, his father said Wednesday.
The 44-year-old star was being filmed for a new TV program as he swam with a stingray on the Great Barrier Reef Monday when it lashed out with its tail, plunging a poisonous barb into his chest. He died within minutes.
In the first public comments by Irwin's family since the tragedy, Bob
twin, who started the wildlife park that his son turned into a major tourist attraction, said both were aware of the inherent dangers of their occupation.
"Both of us over the years have had some very close shaves and we both approached it the same way, we made jokes about it," he said. "That's not to say we were careless. But we treated it as part of the job. Nothing to worry about really."
Thousands of fans have flocked to Irwin's Australia Zoo wildlife park in Queensland state, creating a shrine of flowers, candles and written tributes. Stuffed animals poke out from between flags of Australia, the United States and England, and
some visitors signed and left khaki shirts similar to those worn by Irwin in lieu of a condolences book.
Bob Irwin, 66, thanked fans for their messages of support and reassured him his son had died doing what he loved.
Queensland Premier Peter Beatte has offered a state funeral, and Prime Minister John Howard said that would be appropriate, calling Irwin a great ambassador for Australia. But Bob Irwin said it wouldn't be what Steve wanted.
"He's an ordinary guy, and he wants to be remembered as an ordinary bloke," he said. "The state funeral would be refused."
Michael Hornby, the head of
one of Irwin's wildlife charities, Wildlife Warriors, said the star's wife, Terri Irwin, was considering the state funeral offer, but Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio later reported that she had decided against it.
Hornby said Terri Irwin was thinking about having a smaller, private ceremony at an Outback location and approving a separate large event at a stadium in the state capital, Brisbane.
He also urged people to be careful in sending donations to iTwins charities as a tribute, saying two or three bogus Web sites had been set up attempting to divert some of the money.
Separately, Irwin's manager and close friend John Stainton said the videotape showing him being fatally stabbed should never be publicly aired.
"It should be destroyed," Stainton told CNN's "Larry King Live." He said he has seen the footage and it shows Irwin pulling the barb from his chest in his last moments.
The tape is in the possession of police as evidence for the coroner.
The Discovery Channel, which produced and aired Irwin's programs to a reported global audience of more than 200 million, said it will not show the footage.
Police have said there are no suspicious circumstances in Irwin's
death, and no decision has been made about whether a coroner will hold a formal inquest or simply accept the police findings. No formal cause of death has been announced.
Terri Irwin briefly addressed park staff late Tuesday over a public address system.
"She was very choked up. It was a very frail comment," Hornby told The Associated Press Wednesday. "But she wanted to say to the staff how grateful she was for their support and how much it meant to her."
Bob Irwin said he had just spent nearly a month with his son's family on Cape York in tropical northern Australia doing crocodile research.
》 TERRORISM
Two suspects added to alleged plot, eight released
BY DAVID STRINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Authorities charged two more suspects Wednesday in an alleged plot to blow up passenger-laden jetliners bound for the United States, bringing to 17 the number formally charged.
Three other suspects were released. The five have been held for nearly 28 days without being charged — the maximum length of time allowed under Britain's new anti-terrorism laws.
Police said the two suspects, Donald Douglas Stewart Whyte and Muhammed Usman Saddique, 24, were charged with preparing an act of terrorism.
The five suspects were rounded up with about two dozen others in raids on Aug. 9-10 into the alleged plot to assemble and detonate improvised explosives on board as many as 10 U.S.-bound
planes carrying hundreds of passengers. Eight others have since been released.
The purported attack would have caused mass murder on an "unimaginable scale," police as said they announced arrests in early August — leading to major terror alerts in the United States and Britain, and causing major disruptions to air travel.
Eleven suspects have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and also with preparing acts of terrorism.
Whyte and Saddique are also charged with preparing terrorism acts. Four others are charged with lesser offenses, including withholding information about planned terrorism.
Prosecutor Colin Gibbs told a hearing at London's Central Criminal Court on Monday that 11 suspects facing the most serious charges would not be brought to trial before 2008 as officials sift through evidence from across the
world.
Investigators continue to study evidence including alleged explosive materials, computers, travel and phone records and other documents, Gibbs said.
Peter Clarke, London's chief counterterrorism detective, has disclosed that police seized hydrogen peroxide, bomb-making components and six martyrdom videos during searches of 70 homes, businesses, vehicles and open spaces, including a stretch of woods in High Wcombe.
British Home Secretary John Reid has signaled he now intends to seek parliamentary support to extend the maximum detention limit for people arrested on suspicion of terrorism beyond 28 days
Lawmakers agreed on the limit last December, after Prime Minister Tony Blair failed to persuade legislators to agree to a 90-day detention period — his first ever defeat in Britain's House of Commons.
VETERANS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Hoyt also pointed out another problem. Because veterans are given their current month's money at the beginning of the following month, they have trouble paying for things like books at the beginning of each semester.
He said he wanted the KU book- stores to offer a 90-day credit so veterans could receive their books on time, then pay for them after the GI Bill arrived. He said that Wichita State University had a system like this in place and that he would attempt to implement this plan through the group.
Hoyt said he talked to several veteran students who were interested in joining the group, which is open to anyone regardless of veteran status. About 15 people are now interested. Hoyt said.
Joan Hahn, assistant registrar at the University, said approximately 250 students attending the University were eligible for veterans' benefits.
University veterans will be honored during the festivities before the Sept. 9 football game against Louisiana-Monroe at Memorial Stadium.

Tribal casino opening put on hold after Justice Department appeal
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal judge's ruling that appeared to allow a tribal casino to reopen in downtown Kansas City, Kan., is heading back to court.
The Justice Department said Tuesday it will appeal U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson's decision last month that the National Indian Gaming Commission erred when it determined the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma had no legal right to operate the tiny casino in trailers attached to an old Masonic lodge.
The commissioners determined that the half-acre tract, purchased in 1996, was not qualified for a casino under federal rules prohibiting tribal casinos on land purchased after 1988.
Robinson said the casino fit through a loophole in those rules because the tribe had bought the land with money it received through an Indian claims court proceeding.
State authorities shut down the 7th Street Casino in 2004 following the commission's decision, carting off more than 150 gambling machines and $500,000 in cash. The tribe hauled off the deteriorated trailers last year, leaving an asphalt pad.
Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline, city officials and other tribes with Kansas casinos have appealed other rulings connected to the case, such as Robinson's decision upholding the federal government's land-trust action.
LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson must pay $60,000 in attorney fees for his ex-wife as she pursues a custody case against the pop superstar, a judge ordered Wednesday.

Jackson involved in child custody case
Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schindler gave the entertainer until Sept. 28 to meet the order. He did not rule on whether to grant Dabore Brow visitation rights to the couple's children, Prince Michael and Paris.
Rowe had sought $195,000 toward her attorney fees but Schnider declined to award it, noting that she had received an $8 million divorce settlement.
In February, a state appeals court ruled that her parental rights had not been properly relinquished under the law.
Rowe, said after court that Jackson stopped making the annual payments in the divorce settlement in 2003. He also sued Rowe in 2004 for allegedly breaching a confidentiality agreement.
Rowe, a former nurse for Jackson's dermatologist, married him in 1996 but filed for divorce in 1999 and later gave up custody rights. She asked a judge to reinstate them in 2003 after Jackson had been arrested on child molestation charges. He was acquitted last year and now lives in Bahrain.

UNDERAGE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Associated Press
"Don't get The Crossing in trouble," he said before the band started up another song. "We need it here."
Despite murky claims from several Crossing employees, no one under 21 can purchase any type of alcohol in Kansas, according to Kansas state law and Alcoholic Beverage Control director Tom Groneman.
Other bars in Lawrence have also struggled with underage drinking. The Hawk, 1430 Ohio St., was cited for 43 MIPs from 2003 to 2005. Quintons, 615 Massachusetts St., was cited for 10 MIPs from 2004 to 2005 and paid $10,000 in fines.
Groneman said the Board paid close attention to Lawrence bars because of the large population of underage drinkers who came to the University each year.
Kyle, a 19-year-old sophomore, said the majority of underage KU students he knew drank regularly. The best ways to get away with it are to go to bars with lax ID checks or to hit them at busy times, he said.
Kyle paid $472 for a diversion to get an MIP removed from his permanent record after getting caught at a house party that Lawrence police broke up last year. His friend David, sophomore, got the same citation and paid the same fee.
Kyle, David and their friend Zak said they thought that alcohol was just a part of college life.
Zak and David said they enjoyed going out to a place where they could relax, drink and scope out girls. They said alcohol laws simply weren't fair.
"I'm old enough to die for our country, but I'm not old enough to drink, with Uncle Sam," David said.

New research reveals increased nicotine in cigarettes
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Melissa Nichols, Kansas City, Mo. junior, started smoking her junior year of high school. Since then she's tried to quit but hasn't been able to go more than two weeks without a cigarette.
"It's addicting." Nichols said. "You just want one."
According to a new study, it may be harder to quit today than ever before.
The level of nicotine smokers consume per cigarette rose 10 percent in the last six years, according to the Massachusetts Department of Health. Higher levels of nicotine make it easier for smokers to become addicted and harder for them to quit.
The study found that Marlboro, Newport and Camel — the three most popular brands among young smokers — had increased most in nicotine levels.
According to "Abnormal Psychology" by David Holmes, professor of psychology, nicotine absorption into the blood increases
heart rate and blood pressure and causes blood vessels to contract. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, nausea, dizziness, headaches, increased appetite and weight gain.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking greatly increases the risk of dying from lung cancer, developing coronary heart disease, suffering a stroke and developing several other types of cancer.
Nichols said she realized smoking was bad and wanted to quit smoking
She's not alone. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, most smokers admit smoking is harmful and want to quit but only about six percent who try to quit stop for more than a month.
some day.
Nicotine activates reward pathways in the brain and causes feelings of pleasure.
Not everyone is upset about the rise in nicotine levels, "I think I'm getting more for my money," said Amy Hughes, St. Paul, Minn., freshman.
Tobacco cessation programs are available through Student Health Services. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment operates a 24-hour Quitline, which offers screening, counseling, support materials and referral information to quit smoking. The Quitline can be reached at 1-866-KAN-STOP.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the five steps to quit smoking are as follows: Get ready, get support, learn new skills and behaviors, get medication and use it correctly and be prepared for difficult situations.

INTERNET
New site raises concerns Note repository could be an excuse to skip class
BY KIM LYNCH
Facebook now has a scholarly twin at the University of Kansas: A site called Noteswap.
Ryan Grush, founder and CEO of Noteswap, said he hoped that Noteswap would become "the academic counterpart to Facebook."
As of Tuesday, KU students can join Noteswap — a site for sharing lecture notes — by registering atnoteswap.com with a KU e-mail address.
Grush, a junior at Louisiana State University, created Noteswap after students who had left because of Hurricane Katrina sent him messages through Facebook asking for lecture notes. It was then that "a light bulb went off in my head," Grush said, and Noteswap was born.
The site was launched at Louisiana State last November and during the spring semester added four more colleges. Grush expects to admit more colleges soon.
The site already allows users to post lecture notes and rate professors and notes. Students must post notes in order to see other students' notes, he said.
Some new features, not yet available, will allow users to create profiles and post on message boards for specific classes, Grush said.
Grush said he was also trying to make Noteswap professor-friendly so professors could use it as a communication tool.
Grush said there was concern that students would abuse Noteswap by posting inappropriate material. The site relies on its users to report any problems, he said. If users are reported to the site, they receive a warning; repeat offenders will be banned.
Another worry is that students will substitute Noteswap for going to class.
Grush, a junior at Louisiana State University, created Noteswap after students who had left because of Hurricane Katrina sent him messages through Facebook asking for lecture notes.
Grush said he didn't want students using Noteswap to go against a university's or professor's policies. He said that the Web site would rely on professors to report any problems and that the company would deal with issues on a case-by-case basis.
Megan Greene, assistant professor of history, said she did not think getting notes off of Noteswap would encourage students to skip class. The only concern she had was the possibility of students posting exams, Greene said.
Tracy Russo, associate professor of communication studies, said she thought Noteswap was risky because it would be hard to know if the notes were good or bad.
The only benefits she saw were that a student who missed class would be able to get notes and
a student could check a piece of information against another's notes.
Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle, associate vice provost for student success, said that lecture notes were not reflective of what happened in class and that students would be shorting themselves by using Noteswap instead of attending.
Virginia Heinen, Leavenworth freshman, said students who didn't make the effort to go to class probably wouldn't make the effort to get the notes off of Noteswap. She said she would use Noteswap only if she got sick.

BUSINESS
Restaurant takes risk Deli moves to historically unfavorable downtown location
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Westside Deli and Market will attempt to do what restaurants before it have failed to do: Stay in business at 811 New Hampshire St. It opens at that location on Oct. 1.
Currently at 4931 W. 6th St., Westside Deli and Market will change locations after five years in business to become the fourth restaurant at the New Hampshire location during the past five years. The move allows the deli to take advantage of a bigger space and to be in downtown Lawrence, owner Michael Levy said.
The deli will change its name to the "New Hampshire St. Bistro," and will feature an expanded menu. The new location will also include a bar that will be open until 2 a.m. and feature specials.
The space at 811 New Hampshire, owned by Grubb & Ellis]The Winbury Group. was most recently occupied by Krause Dining from 2005 to 2006 on a temporary basis while the restaurant tried to work with the city to solve a zoning problem at its previous location. Before that, Captain Ribman's Meat Market occupied the building from 2003 to 2004 and The Blue Jacket was there from 2001 to 2003. Prior to being renovated for restaurant use, the building was the home of a flea market.

Like many students, Rebecca Blackburn, Fort Leavenworth sophomore, has experienced problems with KU online applications.

Missing woman tells abduction story, eight years later
BY VERONIKA OLEKSYN ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria — A young woman abducted 8/12 years ago told Austrian TV viewers Wednesday of her anger and frustration that she hadn't simply crossed the street to avoid her kidnapper or gone to school with her mother on the morning she was seized.
"The first time I didn't see the cellar room at all because it was pitch black. No lamp was screwed in. He only brought that after several minutes or half an hour," Kampusch told public broadcaster ORF in a televised interview that gave Austrians their first glimpse of the young woman whose abduction has riveted a nation.
Repeatedly shutting her still-sensitive eyes against the glare of TV lights, Natascha Kampusch, now 18, recalled her first horrific minutes inside the dingy, windowless cell beneath her captor's garage where she was held for years.
She recalled how she sometimes threw water bottles at the wall in frustration and despair and occasionally also pounded it with her fists.
Ronald Zak/Associated Press
A street vendor displays the Austrian daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung and the weekly magazine News with a picture of Natascha Kampusch on the front pages, in downtown Vienna, Wednesday. The young Austrian woman who was imprisoned for 8 1/2 years in an underground cell gave interviews to News magazine. Austrian daily newspaper Kronen Zeitung and Austrian television.
"I was very distressed and very angry, and I was angry that I didn't cross to the other side of the street and that I didn't go to school with my mother. It was awful," Kampusch said.

Kampusch bolted to freedom Aug. 23 while her captor, Wolfgang Priklopil, was distracted by a cell phone call. The 44-year-old communications technician killed himself within hours of her escape by jumping in front of a commuter train.
The wheezing sound of a ventilator that pumped air into her windowless room was "unbearable," she
She said she would have "gone crazy" if Priklopil had not occasionally allowed her upstairs, although those trips did not start until six months after she was abducted from the street as a freckle-faced 10-year-old.
Earlier Wednesday, the weekly magazine News and the mass-circulation daily Kronen Zeitung published separate interviews in which Kampusch said she "thought only of escape" during her entire ordeal and had once tried to jump out of Priklopli's car.
When Priklopil took her out on errands, "he always wanted me to walk in front of him, not behind him," apparently to minimize the chances of her escaping, she said.
Kampusch told the newspaper how she had tried to leap from Prilkopil's car, but he "held me back and then speed away."
saying by News. "I always felt like a poor chicken in a hen house. You saw on TV how small my cell was — it was a place to despair."
The magazine printed a large color photograph of a pensive-looking Kampusch on its cover, showing her with piercing blue eyes and a pink scarf covering part of her strawberry blond hair. In the TV interview, she wore a loose, glittery purple blouse and the scarf.
Since her escape, Kampusch said she slipped away incognito to enjoy some ice cream.

She did not specify when that escape attempt occurred, saying only that she felt "it was much too risky" to try it again because she feared Priloklpil would kill her if she failed.
"It was nice to smile at people, and no one recognized me," she said, dabbing with a tissue at her eyes.
But she said that didn't stop her from dreaming about beheading him with an ax.
The magazine said it interviewed Kampusch at Vienna's General Hospital, where a cardiologist examined her for possible heart trouble. She said she had suffered during her captivity from heart palpitations that at times made her dizzy and blurred her vision. It was unclear whether she has been diagnosed with any chronic problems.
"I always had the thought. Surely I didn't come into the world so I could be locked up and my life completely ruined," Kampusch was quoted as
from her captor's house in suburban Strassholt "completely spontaneous."
Kampusch also said she often did not get enough to eat. Another Austrian magazine, Profil, had reported that at the time of her escape she weighed just 92 pounds — the same weight when she was taken on March 2, 1998, while walking to school.
"I was there behind the gate to the garden and I felt dizzy. I realized for the first time how weak I really was," she said.
But Kampusch added that she felt well enough — "physically, mentally and no heart problems" — to make a run for it.
Kampusch called her escape
which questions to answer and had refused to be asked anything intimate. Police have said she may have had sexual contact with her captor, but have refused to elaborate.
Once she had run out onto the street, "I saw a window open and someone busy in a kitchen, and I asked the woman to call the police," she said. At first, she said, the woman refused to let her inside: "She didn't want me to step on her lawn."

Kampusch told News she regret- ted that Priklopil committed suicide, "because he could have explained so much more to me and to the police," but added that she no longer wished to talk about him.

Kampusch also told the magazine she loved her parents, who divorced after she was taken, and denied there was any controversy. Psychologists treating her have said she has been in touch with her mother, but has not asked for her father since they were briefly reunited after her escape.
"It was worse for them than it was for me. They thought I was dead," she said.

» MEMORABILIA
CANvention draws beer collectors' organization
Attendees seek memorablia, containers,business cards
BY HEATHER HOLLINGWORTH ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Beer cans of all shapes and sizes, signs from long-defunct brands and even business cards from microbreweries were among the items collectors sought as they gathered this week for an event dubbed the CANvention.
John Ahrens recalls when he was sucked into beer-can collecting. The 63-year-old suburban Philadelphia man, who was among the more than 800 people attending the 36th annual convention of the Brewery Collectibles Club of America, was a student at Yale University when his classmates began lining a ledge with cans. The CANvention started Wednesday and goes through Saturday.
"You can start a collection walking along a country road."
By graduation, Ahrens had 250 cans, and he kept adding to them. The collection eventually grew to include about 30,000 cans — winning him a spot for about 15 years in "The Guinness Book of World Records."
Ahrens said he has since whitted his collection down to about 2,000 cans.

including Moose Drool, a product of Big Sky Brewing Co. of Missoula, Mont.
"Some things are unmanageable," the law book salesman said Wednesday.
Many club members are professionals, including physicians and pharmacists. They are visible from the T-shirts they wear, toting the wares of lesser-known brewers,
They come from across the country and the world, including Japan, Germany, South America and New Zealand. Some ship their cans in advance, packing hotel elevators as they haul boxes to their rooms and
the exhibition space at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center just south of Kansas City.
Each is hoping to fill different gaps in their collections. Some are seeking one beer can from each country in the world. Others specialize
in memorabilia from brewers from specific cities or eras.
The group started in St. Louis in 1970, when about six people began meeting to discuss their collections. The first convention was held a year later in a suburb of St. Louis.
The group's membership peaked at about 10,500 later that decade and has since shrunk to under 3,000. Many members are nearing or well into retirement. Only 24 are under 30.
"It's the nature of our society," said Rich La Sua, of Gold Canyon, Ariz. "Young people don't collect."
Member bylaws discourage selling memorabilia, though it still occurs in the hotel rooms. Purists, members explained, believe cans and other collectibles should be traded or given away.
In the main exhibition area, members must trade to add to their collections.
But in the past 10 or 15 years, people started selling their cans, and the prices they can fetch are growing. Marcia Butterbaugh, a former president of the club, said one can recently sold on the Internet auction site eBay for $23,000.
Butterbaugh, 63, said the high-dollar can was produced in the 1940s by Anheuser-Busch Cos. and featured a cone-shaped top. But Butterbaugh said many cans can still be bought for about 50 cents.
She is one of the small number of women in the group and specializes in flattop cans that had to be punctured to free their contents. Her husband, Craig Retchless, collects specific types of signs.
Their collection is spread throughout their home in Kearney. "Even in the bathrooms," Butterbaugh said.
Another longtime member, Lew Cady, 69, of Denver, wrote "Beer Can Collecting." an out-of-print book that profiles several early collectors and features tips on restoring dented and rusty cans. About 80,000 copies were sold.
He said the hobby can be cheap.
"You can start a collection walk along a country road," he said.
One chapter of the group, the Rusty Bunch, searches for cans at former camp sites and along ravines - sometimes using metal detectors. Members of that branch are bringing their extra cans to the convention. They plan to dump their finds on the ground Saturday and allow attendees to dig through the rubble.
In between trading, conventiongoers also will tour Kansas City's Boulevard Brewing Co., which is contributing beer to a tasting event that will feature drinks from several other smaller breweries.

In a speech from the White House Wednesday, President Bush announced 14 suspected terrorists who had been held secretly in CIA custody including Sheikh Mohammed, have been transferred to the United States naval base at Guantanamo Bay.

President Bush reveals secret overseas prisons

WASHINGTON President Bush on Wednesday acknowledged for the first time that the CIA runs secret prisons overseas and said tough interrogation forced terrorist leaders to reveal plots to attack the United States and its allies.
Bush said the CIA program "has

Democrats, hoping to make the elections a referendum on Bush's policies in Iraq and the war on terror, urged anew that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld be made to step down.
Some Democrats and human rights groups have said the CIA's secret prison system did not allow monitoring for abuses and they hoped that it would be shut down.
The president's speech, his third in a recent series about the war on terror, gave him an opportunity to shore up his administration's credentials on national security two months before congressional elections at a time when Americans are growing weary of the war in Iraq.
"If I did, it would help the terrorists learn how to resist questioning and to keep information from us."
to Guantanamo, there currently are no detainees being held by the CIA, Bush said.
Still, Bush said that "having a CIA program for questioning terrorists will continue to be crucial to getting lifesaving information."
"These are dangerous men with unparalleled knowledge about terrorist networks and their plans for new attacks," Bush said, defending the CIA program he authorized after the Sept. 11 attacks. "The security of our nation and the lives of our citizens depend on our ability to learn what these terrorists know"
A senior administration official said the CIA had detained fewer than 100 suspected terrorists in the history of the program.
The president declined to disclose the location or details of the detainees' confinement, or the interrogation techniques.
Nearing the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, Bush pressed Congress to quickly pass administration-drafted legislation authorizing the use of military commissions for trials of terror suspects. Legislation is needed because the Supreme Court in June said the administration's plan for trying detainees in military tribunals violated U.S. and international law.
"I cannot describe the specific methods used — I think you under-

stand why," Bush said in the East Room where families of some of those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks gathered to hear his speech.
"If I did, it would help the terrorists learn how to resist
questioning, and to keep information from us that we need to prevent new attacks on our country. But I can say the procedures were tough, and they were safe, and lawful and necessary."
"I want to be absolutely clear with our people, and the world: The United States does not torture," Bush said. "It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorized it, and I will not authorize it."
Bush insisted that the detainees were not tortured.
Bush said the information from terrorists in CIA custody has played a role in the capture or questioning of nearly every senior al-Qaida member or associate detained by the U.S. and its allies since the program began.
He said they include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused Sept. 11 mastermind, as well as Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged would-be 9/11 hijacker, and Abu Zaydahy, who was believed to be a link between Osama bin Laden and many al-Qaida cells.
He said interrogators have succeeded in getting information that has helped make photo identifications, pinpoint terrorist hiding places, provide ways to make sense
"Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al-Qaida and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland." Bush said.
of documents, identify voice recordings and understand the meaning of terrorist communications al-Qaida's travel routes and hiding places.
The administration had refused until now to acknowledge the existence of CIA prisons. Bush said he was going public because the United States has largely completed questioning the suspects, and also because the CIA program had been jeopardized by the Supreme Court ruling.
Bush also laid out his proposal for how trials for detainees should be conducted, a plan he says ensures fairness.
His proposed legislation was hailed by some Senate leaders, but other lawmakers said it would curtails certain rights of terror suspects.
"It's important to remember these defendants are not common criminals," said Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "Rather, many are terrorists, sworn enemies of the United States who would gladly use any information to harm us, and any opportunity to strike us again."
However, Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said Congress was being pushed to make a hasty decision on the plan for special military trials.
The proposal is likely to prompt a showdown on the Senate floor among Republicans. GOP moderates John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham have drafted a rival proposal.
Skelton questioned whether Bush's approach would meet the requirements laid out by the Supreme Court.
Their version would guarantee certain legal rights to defendants common in military and civilian courts that Bush's proposal omits, including a defendant's right to access to all evidence used against him.
Graham, R-S.C., said withholding evidence from an alleged war criminal would set a dangerous precedent other nations could follow. "Would I be comfortable with (an American servicemember) going to jail with evidence they never saw? No," Graham said.
Also on Wednesday, the Pentagon put out a new Army field manual that spells out appropriate conduct on issues including prisoner interrogation. The manual applies to all the armed services, but not the CIA.
It bans torture and degrading treatment of prisoners, for the first time specifically mentioning forced nakedness, hoding and other procedures that have become infamous during the war on terror.

Once fun and friendly, Facebook turns creepy
Ooh look, John wrote on Suzie's wall. Didn't they break up? Oh man, Helga's spent a lot of time updating her profile lately ...
On Tuesday, facebook.com launched a series of new features that have turned every Facebook user into a dreaded "Facebook stalker."
Now every time a user changes something on Facebook, whether it's writing a message on someone's "wall," adding favorite quotes or adding a "friend," it is tracked for every Facebook member to see. The site even publishes when the changes were made. Creepy.
Also, Facebook now tracks "stories," which show how a user's profile has changed over time. If Josie switches her "relationship
status" to single, then switches back to "in a relationship with Joe" a day later, everyone can see they've had some problems. Sure, you can't erase the past, but you used to be able to ignore it on Facebook.
What makes Facebook appealing, and separates it from blog sites like MySpace and Xanga, is that it's not highly personal. Rather than an online diary, it's a bulletin board where students can post pictures, keep in touch and create lists that are fun to read but shed little light on the user's private life.
Facebook used to show only the face users wanted people to see. Change it back, Mark Zuckerberg.

COMMENTARY
Prohibiting gay marriage contradicts America's principles
As hard as some may try, no one will ever convince members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to change their sexual orientation. They will be here today and in the future, just as they have been in virtually every culture since the beginning of time.
That being said, there are several arguments often used against the ever-popular issue of gay marriage that need to be addressed. Because, despite the fact that moral issues such as gay marriage have become the most common concerns in politics, we cannot, and should not, legislate morality.
One argument frequently used to dispute gay marriage is that gays are too promiscuous to be married. This is an interesting proposition because marriage is, in fact, a promise to remain loyal to one other person. Thus, two men or women who want to be married generally want to have a monogamous relationship.
Another argument is that by allowing LGBT couples to marry we are opening the door for a number of awkward arrangements. Imagine, for example, a young man and a goat. Unquestionably, this is an awkward situation. But besides the fact that the partnering of a young man and a goat has never been a common or natural occurrence and is solely attributable to severe mental issues, I say, why not let the young man and the goat live happily ever after, since surely no woman in her right mind would get along with this particular man anyway?
BY ALISON KIELER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
The important point here is that people have loved other people of the same sex for quite a while, and the idea that individuals might one day be able to marry an animal or a minor is quite an improbable story, in which morality would not be the sole concern.
A third argument bemoans the tragedy of letting two men or two women adopt a child. Children are just so impressionable, so the argument goes, and having two mothers or fathers must really confuse them.
Of course, there is an alternative to letting LGBT couples adopt, keeping in mind that not all children who need new families are adopted. Children in need of loving homes can reside in orphanages (yes, they still exist) or bounce between dozens of temporary foster homes that can simulate love but not stability. Unfortunately, many children in these situations, particularly older, "damaged" or less attractive children, will face problems with homelessness or drug addiction as they grow older.
In these cases, it is absurd to outweigh the need for a stable loving environment with the "need" for a traditional marriage environment, particularly since the latter is not always "normal" or "healthy." According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce; these statistics are extremely damaging to the emotional stability of our next generation.
So what if we do give LGBT couples the right to marry and have families? On one hand, we might set a better example of true love and commitment for today's heterosexual couples. And on the other, we might just give others the right to be miserable married couples as well. If this is the case, then I think we should be less stingy when it comes to who we allow to marry.
Perhaps the most important reason that gay marriage should not be fought as a moral issue in the U.S. is because our country was created as a beacon of religious freedom, and of freedom of choice without persecution. If people choose not to follow a specific religious denomination, that is their prerogative. If they choose to be committed to a member of the same sex, to love or be miserable with that person, and to provide a loving home for a child who needs it, then this is also their prerogative.
As for the issue of morality in the U.S., I would suggest that we focus on our own lives. Our country's marriage record could certainly use improvement.

COMMENTARY Feminism at KU misunderstood, continues to evolve
Take a moment to picture in your mind what a feminist looks like. Some of you may envision a bra-burning butch lesbian, out to systematically destroy all men. Or maybe you see a slightly overweight academic women who hasn't shaven in nine years. Stereotypes like these have often overshadowed the true goals of those who call themselves "feminists."
Judging groups based on the actions of a few members rarely leads to greater understanding. Can you define, for example, the entire religion of Christianity, based solely on a fundamentalist sect or individual? Islam? Any religion or political belief for that matter, by the behavior of a few extremists?
I am not criticizing extremists, especially since I wouldn't have the opportunities I do today were it not for the actions of women extremists in the past, and I am not defining what a feminist is in broad or general terms, but I am going to tell you about a dedicated and diverse group of people on campus known as the February Sisters.
The February Sisters Association was founded by a group of University women who took over a campus building in 1972, demanding equal resources for women on campus. They called for hiring more women in the University administration, the establishment of a campus daycare and the creation of a women's studies program, among other things.
Their spirit of igniting change lives on. The feminists of today come from diverse majors, including biology, business, computer science and fine art. Many come from different religious and ethnic backgrounds, and vary in sexual preference. The vast majority are not lesbians, and do not hate men in the slightest. Some of you might be surprised to learn that feminists aren't always women, and that men, both straight and gay, can be feminists.
Despite the differences, all University feminists share a common goal: to organize feminist educational, political and cultural events.
So what does that encompass? First of all, during February, the February Sisters Association coordinates a series of concerts, speakers, theatre productions, and performances, including the popular "Vagina Monologues." These events support domestic violence shelters and other organizations for women.
If you're curious about what else the organization has planned, or if you're a closed feminist who thinks there are no battles left to be fought, you should consider attending the next February Sisters Association meeting on September 21 at 7 p.m. in the Kansas Union's Walnut Room, or e-mail februarysistersassociation-owner@yahoogroups.com for more information.
You might be more of a feminist than you think. If you are a person who cares about women's issues and wants to help, then you can proudly call yourself a feminist. An important part of being a feminist is being active, so enter with an open mind and a desire to ignite change.

Jayhawks have tough path all week long
BY DREW DAVISON
"It might be the toughest week of the century," coach Ray Beachard joked.
The KU volleyball team will begin its toughest week of the season tonight.
Kansas (6-1) will face three teams this week that made the NCAA tournament last year: Brigham Young, Arkansas and Nebraska. BYU is ranked No. 16; Arkansas is a top-25 caliber team according to Bechard; and Nebraska is ranked No. 1. All are currently undefeated.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, Kansas begins the Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center with its match against BYU.
Although the Jayhawks are off to a decent start, Bechard said Kansas needed to improve in some areas.
He said he would like to see improvement in Kansas' serving ace-to-error ratio as well as in the initial line of defense, which limits the number of kills against the Javahaws.
Last weekend, BYU (6-0) swept the BYU Molten Classic in Provo, Utah, including an upset victory against No. 4 Stanford.
"There's a lot of little things keeping us from being the team that we need to be," Bechard said.
"It had to be a confidence boost," Bechard said. "They're the most competitive team we'll play to date."
Watson comes in with knowledge about Kansas volleyball because he was an assistant coach at Kansas State in 2000 and 2001.
In Jason Watson's first year as head coach of BYU, he led the team to a 24-5 record and an NCAA tournament berth last season.
Look for the Cougars' Erica Lott, junior right side hitter, who was named MVP of the BYU Molten Classic, to lead the team. She was also named Mountain West Player of the Week on Monday.
"He is a highly respected coach," Bechard said. "He got that program going after they were going through some changes last season and it appears they're headed for another great season."

DEFENSIVE STAR GOES TO OFFENSE
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Holly Gault, midfielder, is playing offense instead of defense after switching sides this season. She scored five goals in her second career game at forward.
All-American defender scores in new position
BY MARK DENT
Face it, the sporting world is obsessed with the extraordinary.
Shows like SportsCenter provide a constant stream of home runs, touchdowns and slam dunks.
Athletes enjoy making these plays too, so it should come as no surprise that senior Holly Gault is relishing her new role as an attacking midfielder, where she has routinely been making some offensive highlights of her own.
"I think it's more fun," Gault said.
"You get to score some goals."
Gault has successfully moved from the defensive side of the ball to the offensive side this year.
Analyzing Gault's move could lead to the conclusion that Kansas coach Mark Francis is crazy.
She already leads the team with two assists and she scored her first recorded goal against Saint Mary's last Sunday. The offense is currently averaging 2.33 goals per game with Gault up front, compared to 1.79 goals per game last season.
Gault was a first team All-American and three-time All-Big 12 selection at her right back position on defense. She also played as a defender on the U.S. U-21 National team
But Francis had his reasons.
"We felt like we had more depth on defense, and we wanted to utilize her attacking skills," Francis said.
Gault's offensive skills were always apparent when she played defender. She tied for second on the team with four goals and six assists last season even though she played in the backfield.
The forward experiment worked in the spring, so Gault has stayed up front this season. But instead of lining up as a forward, she is playing attacking midfielder.
She erupted with five goals and two assists against Yale, in her second career game at forward. The game didn't count for the record books, but if it had, her five goals and 14 points would have shattered the school records of three goals and seven points.
"Holly is a dynamic player and makes things happen," Francis said. "When she gets the ball and runs at you, it's kind of scary."
The real indication of Gault's ability to play up front came during the Jayhawks' spring exhibition season.
The KU football team led the nation in one statistical category last season: Most goalposts torn down by fans.
"We were just playing really well as a team that day," Gault said. "My teammates were feeding me the ball at the right times and I just had to knock it in."
After the Jayhawks' final three home victories of the season in 2005, against Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State, the goalposts inside Memorial Stadium went for a swim in Potter Lake.

Sports continue to inspire, unite five years after Sept.11
Sometimes sports can be so much more than just a game. They can make us cheer, they can make us cry, and they can make us forget about our problems.
This was no more apparent than nearly five years ago, following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Remember Mike Piazza hitting that home run in the eighth inning during the first baseball game since Sept. 11? That home run gave the New York Mets the victory and gave New York something to celebrate for the first time in weeks. The stadium erupted with cheers as he rounded the bases and showed that America was, in fact, ready for sports. We used sports to help us mourn the loss of thousands of lives.
Following the attacks, football players ran out onto fields carrying massive American flags as firefighters and policemen watched.
Athletes weren't the only heroes at those sporting events; those everyday people, whom wed taken for granted, were our heroes too.

Former Chicago Cub Sammy Sosa, born and raised in the Dominican Republic, raced onto Wrigley Field holding an American flag. Sosa showed how much America meant to him and it was one of the kindest gestures ever performed by an athlete.
Remember every ballpark in the country singing "God Bless America" during the seventhinning stretch? Tears rolled down the cheeks of fans from Los Angeles to New York.
For the first time probably ever, America actually united behind the New York Yankees in their drive to the World Series. There were the clutch home-runs that kept the
Yankees' title hopes alive. There were the great defensive plays, especially the one by Derek Jeter against the Oakland As when he flipped the ball to catcher Jorge Posada, to get Jason Giambi at the plate, saving a victory.
All of these great plays were cheered by fans around the country. It didn't matter if you were a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals or even the Boston Red Sox. Everyone thought the Yankees deserved to win that year.
We were all united. Remember when President Bush arrived at Yankee Stadium during the World Series to throw out the first pitch? The crowd gave him a standing ovation and the cheers were even louder when he threw a perfect strike. No one cared about politics in that moment. Games later in the season would stop during Bush's speech declaring war on terrorism.
We used sports to show the terrorists and the rest of the world that we were not afraid. We crammed
into stadiums, filling them with thousands of Americans, confident an attack wouldn't happen.
The feeling of unity, unfortunately, has been lost. No one cheers for the Yankees anymore. The scene of thousands of fans waving American flags at sporting events is also gone. If President Bush were to arrive at a stadium to throw out the first pitch, there would not be raucous cheers, there would be mixed feelings.
This weekend — and especially on Monday — let us once again unite as Americans. Let us remember why we are able to watch these games: Because of those who are enduring dangers abroad so we can have freedom and safety at home.
Remember, we are all Americans.

U. S. OPEN
Sharapova moves on to the semifinals
BY HOWARD FENDRICH ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Her shots sparkling as much as her silver sneakers, Maria Sharapova gritted her way to yet another Grand Slam semifinal.
Sharapova defeated 27th-seeded Tatiana Golovin 7-6 (4), 7-6 (0) in a U.S. Open quarterfinal that lasted more than two hours Wednesday night, setting up a showdown with No. 1 Amelie Mmaresmo.
"She's the one to beat right now," Sharapova said. "I feel like I have nothing to lose."
Sharapova's victory came in straight sets, but it was anything but easy. She played for long stretches, even resorting to a left-handed shot to keep a point going.
the second.
She was broken in each of her first two service games, and fought off two set points while trailing 6-5 in the opener. Then she overcame a concentration lapse after a trainer attended to Golovin for a big blister on the bottom of her right foot, and recovered again after getting broken while serving for the match at 5-3 in
Sharapova's father, Yuri, kept a close eye on all the proceedings. He appeared to signal Sharapova at one point by pulling a banana out of his bag; shortly thereafter, she pulled out a piece of fruit and ate it.
"Is it a coincidence? Probably" she said.
The first set alone lasted 1:18, more than Mauresmo's entire 6-2, 6-3 victory over No. 12 Dinara Safina. Sharapova ended any suspense by shutting out Golovin in the second tiebreaker.
"I think I just kind of lost my focus," Golovin said. "She hit a couple of good shots and I was never really able to get back into it."
The other semifinal will be No. 2 Justine Hinten-Hardenne against No. 19 Jelena Jankovic.
Henin-Hardenne beat Lindsay Davenport 6-4, 6-4. Davenport's loss meant that for the first year in the Open era, which began in 1968, no American woman reached any Grand Slam semifinal.
Davenport exited her 16th U.S.
Open with a quarterfinal loss to
Henin-Hardenne and a quick walk off court. There was no on-court interview. No glance around the stadium. No moment of soaking it all in. No opportunity for a prolonged "Thank you and goodbye" from the fans of the sort many lavished on Andre Assgi.
Then again, who's to say how many more U.S. Opens are left for Davenport? She's certainly unsure.
Davenport, at 30 the oldest female quarter-finalist, first broached the possibility of retirement more than two years ago, but she also knows she's capable of playing well enough to contend on tour. So she answered simply, "I don't know," when asked whether she'll be back at the Open.
"I still feel like I would have beaten most players today," Davenport said.
Henin-Hardenne won in a match between two women who used to be ranked No.1 and have won this tournament.
"I'm just out here still playing, still trying to figure things out, still enjoy it, still being successful," the 10th-seeded Davenport said.

Similarities abound between Kansas and Louisiana-Monroe
COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF
GAME
DAY
BY SHAWN SHROYER
There will be many parallels between Kansas and Louisiana-Monroe when the two schools meet for the first time ever on Saturday.
Like Kansas, Louisiana-Monroe is 1-0, has a quarterback making his second collegiate start this week and features new starters at nearly every position on defense.
But the storylines run even deeper with these two schools.
Louisiana-Monroe coach Charlie Weatherbie is a Kansas native, Born in Sedan, Weatherbie graduated from Fort Scott High School. Weatherbie Harwiches will be reunited with
former Jayhawk quarterback Bill Whittemore, who worked as a graduate assistant for Louisiana-Monroe last semester.
Whittemore, who is now a graduate assistant at Kansas, worked with the Louisiana-Monroe defense, but even with his insight he won't be leading practices this week for Kansas.
Against Alcorn State last week, Louisiana-Monroe scored the final 14 points of the game on its way to a 24-6 victory.
"It's going to be the same week for me as it was last week: Getting the film ready." Whittemore said.
Leading the way for the Warhawks
was a defense that forced five turnovers. Senior safety Kevin Payne caused one of the five turnovers with an interception and also led the team with seven tackles.
Freshman linebacker Cardia Jackson was second on the team
"They have really talented guys at the cornerback position with good speed and good change of direction." Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "I also like their play at the safety position, and their overall secondary is pretty decent."
Louisiana-Monroe's secondary features all four starters from last season, but the rest of the defense is made up of first-year starters.
with five tackles and had one of three fumble recoveries the defense recorded.
Senior defensive end Christianan Cambridge led the defensive line with four tackles, 2.5 of which were for losses.
"On defense, they are physical up front and like to play physical football," Mangino said. "This will be a much more physical game than last week."
On offense, the Warhawks posted 310 total yards with sophomore quarterback Kinsun Lancaster pro
Overall, the defense held Alcorn State to 40 rushing yards and 205 total yards of offense.
viding more than half of that total.
Kansas v. Louisiana-Monroe Saturday, Sept. 9, 6 p.m.
Much like Kansas freshman quarterback Kerry Meier, Lancaster is a dual threat under center. While Meier had 115 passing yards on eight completions and 62 rushing yards, Lancaster had 100 passing yards on eight completions and 67 rushing yards.
yards.
"He's got all the talent it takes to get it done," Weatherbie said of Lancaster. "I think he will make a ton of improvement from his first game to his second game."
So, with all the similarities between Louisiana-Monroe and Kansas, the Warhawks carelessness with the ball — they had four turnovers compared to one for Kansas — could make all the difference.
Nevertheless, Kansas won't underestimate the emotional boost Louisiana-Monroe might get from Weatherbie's homecoming.
"They are going to be ready to go because this is a big game for them," Mangino said. "Coach Charlie Weatherbie is coming home, so I'm sure it has extra meaning to him."

First tournament awaits A fresh start after a disappointing finish
BY ASHER FUSCO
The last time the KU men's golf team played in a tournament, it left disappointed. The Jayhawks finished eighth in the Big 12 Championship last spring and were hurt by an all-around poor showing in the final round.
If the last several weeks are any indication, things have been looking up for Kansas as it prepares for the first tournament of the fall season: The Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate this weekend in Sugar Grove, Ill. Coach Ross Randall put his players through eight rounds of qualifying in order to establish a five-man lineup.
Randall was pleased with the low scores and consistent results the jayhawks posted in the two
weeks of practice leading up to the season opener.
"We understand that we have a lot of work to do, but we feel pretty good about where we are right now," Randall said.
Seniors Gary Woodland and Tyler Docking have been the most impressive during qualifying, combining to shoot 79 under par in the eight rounds.
Rounding out the line-up will be senior Barrett Martens, sophomore Zach Pederson and freshman Bobby Knowles, who will make his first appearance this weekend as a true freshman.
"Freshmen don't usually play but he's going to, which is great," Randall said.
All of the Kansas players, however, will be equally inexperienced
on Rich Harvest Farms, the course they will play this weekend. None of them have played it yet. Rich Harvest Farms is the same course where the 2007 NCAA Regional Tournament will be played, giving the Jayhawks some experience that could come in handy this spring.
The 12-team field is not exceptionally strong and could allow the Jayhawks to come away with an early season boost in confidence.
Kansas will be joined at the tournament by three fellow Big 12 schools: Kansas State, Colorado and Missouri.

Broncos acquire new talent for season
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Safety John Lynch had a good feeling about this season when the Denver Broncos gathered for the first time since their fantastic flop in the AFC title game at Invesco Field.
David Zalubowsk/Associated Press
On a brilliant blue March morning, Lynch looked around the locker room and almost everybody was there for the start of the team's offseason workout regimen.
Denver Broncos running back Tatum Bell, center, slips past Houston Texans defenders for a short gain in the second quarter of an NFL exhibition football game in Denver on Aug. 27. The Broncos are preparing for their regular-season opener on Sunday, in St. Louis.
"That was an awesome sight," Lynch said. "I think we got better as a team just by our personnel and by the way we went about our work."
The Broncos simply couldn't wait to get started on 2006 following their disheartening loss to Pittsburgh in the conference championship.
"I was proud of this team throughout the entire offseason because there's a couple ways you can respond to how devastated we were after the Pittsburgh game, and one is to go into the tank, and right away," Lynch said. "We saw that wasn't the case because our offseason program set, I think, league records in terms of guys being here."
Everybody was there except for recalcitrant receiver Ashley Lelie, who decided Denver wasn't ever going to give him a shot at being the primary option in the passing game. So he got a new agent and asked for a trade.
round pick from Washington.
The Broncos eventually accommodated him, but not before he agreed to pay the Broncos about $1 million in fines and a prorated portion of the signing bonus he got in 2002.
They sent him to Atlanta last month in a three-way trade that could net Denver yet another first-
Coming off a 13-3 season in which quarterback Jake Plummer played the best ball of his career
Lelie led the league in yards per catch the last two seasons. But in newcomer Javon Walker, the Broncos have a player who can go over the middle much more adeptly, which they figure will make them more proficient on third downs because defenses can't converge on Rod Smith anymore.
— only to revert to his old ways and turn the ball over four times in the AFC championship — the Broncos sent a second-round pick to Green Bay for Walker.
He missed the final 15 games last season after tearing a ligament in his right knee in the opener. Walker quickly returned to form in Denver, routinely making spectacular, leaping grabs like he used to with the Packers that were all the rage in camp.

"I think playing with Brett Favre really helped him learn how to do that, because he has the height, and athletic ability to go get those balls," cornerback Champ Bailey said.
And Walker is determined to show both his new team and his old one that he's back to being the player he was in 2004, when he made the Pro Bowl.
"New city, new atmosphere," he said. "And the old Javon Walker."
Last year, the Broncos' tailback tandem was Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell. They dumped Anderson in a salary cap move, but it appears Bell is still second on the depth chart, this time to undrafted rookie Mike Bell. The rookie parlayed his head-turning training camp into the starting job during the preseason, something he hopes to keep going when the Broncos open at St. Louis on Sunday.
Fourth-year pros Stephen Alexander and Nate Jackson, second-round pick Tony Scheffler of Western Michigan and free agent Chad Mustard will vie for action at tight end, a position that often serves as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver.
When the Broncos jettisoned Pryce, a nine-year starter at defensive end, they knew exactly where to go for another pass rusher: Cleveland, where they landed Kenard Lang.
In four separate transactions last year, the Broncos signed former Brown's linemen Courtney Brown, Gerard Warren, Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers, along with the man who coached them, Andre
The Broncos also got rid of tight end Jeb Putzier and pass rusher Trevor Price in the offseason.
Patterson.
The Broncos hope their latest "Brownco" will help them put enough pressure on the passer with their front four rotation that they won't have to resort to heavy blitzing to try to force turnovers.
Plummer, who has first-round draft pick Jay Cutler of Vanderbilt looking over his shoulder, was cited in a road rage incident while on his way to give a $100,000 check to charity.
All wasn't positive for Denver in the offseason, however.
Punter Todd Sauerbrun was suspended for the first month of the season for using the banned dietary supplement ephedra.
Second-year pro Paul Ernster, coming off surgery on his kicking leg, will fill in during Sauerbrun's suspension.

New coach not KC's only change to team
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSSOCIATED PRESS
RIVER FALLS, Wis. — Their 23 new players represent only a fraction of the big changes coming this season to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gone from the NFLs most productive offense of the past five years are the head coach, offensive coordinator, left tackle, running back, fullback - and approach.
"I anticipate if we're playing with a lead, we're going to run the ball more than we did last year and not worry about continuing to try and get a 17-point lead," new coach Herman Edwards said.
Now it will be more ball control. When holding a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, the Chiefs will no longer be chucking it Vermeil-style down the field.
"You can't always go three-and-out and put your defense back on the field."
Anchored by those men, Kansas City from 2001-2005 rolled up more yards (30,470), scored more touchdowns (262) and rushed for more TDs (131) than any team in the league.
Even if Edwards were as devoted to the offense-first, defense-second philosophy as his predecessor, winds of change would still be gusting through Arrowhead
There was the year they shattered the NFL record with 398 first downs, and the game they scored eight touchdowns rushing.
Priest Holmes broke the NFLS single-season record with 27 TDs — since surpassed by Seattle's Shaun Alexander. Tony Gonzalez set the reception mark for tight ends with 102.
But although they guzzled yardage and pigged out on points, Dick Vermeil's Chiefs never even caught sight of the Super Bowl. Their only playoff appearance was a 38-31 loss to the Colts.
Stadium.
Imaginative AI Saunders is now drawing up plays on cocktail napkins for the Washington Redskins. First-year offensive coordinator Mike Solari, promoted from line coach, admittedly lacks experience in the nuanced passing game that's been so key for KC.
Holmes is probably done. From 2001-05, he averaged more yards from scrimmage (136) than any other running back in the league. But he's now listed as physically unable to perform, and probably headed for retirement.
His absence was expected. But Willie Roaf's was not. The Chiefs were 3-3 without their 11-time Pro Bowl left tackle last year and 7-3 with him. His retirement on the eve of training camp stunned everybody.
Former Pro Bowler Kyle Turley, trying to resurrect his career after a two-year absence brought on by a back injury, was signed to compete at right tackle. But he was quickly shifted into Roaf's spot while everyone hopes for the best.
If Turley's back holds up and he performs well, it will be one of the great comeback stories of the season. But slimmed down to 275 pounds, he looks awfully light trying to beat back 325-pound defensive ends.
Another key loss could be former Pro Bowl fullback Tony Richardson, a locker room leader and one of the steadiest blocking backs in the league.
There still are stars. Trent Green is back for a sixth straight season after passing for more yards (20,117) and touchdowns (111) from 2001-05 than anybody but Peyton Manning.
And he'll be handing off to Larry Johnson, who had a brilliant nine-game spree after Holmes went out last year with neck and spinal trauma.

GOALPOSTS (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
And at Minnesota-Morris last year, a student was killed during a postgame celebration.
The tradition of fans tearing down the goalposts after an upset is practiced across the country.
It's a tradition that is usually reserved for fans of a team that has pulled off a major upset. Shelby Scholz, Atchison senior, said fans weren't thinking about the dangers of rushing the field after a big victory.
"It's real exciting for every fan and it's hard for people outside to see how the students are, just because they're not there." Scholz said. "They're not in the moment."
Whether the Jayhawks three final home victories last season were upsets is up for debate. The victory against Missouri was the third in a row by Kansas. The Cornhuskers were only 5-3 last year before the Jayhawks defeated them 40-15, but, it was Kansas' first victory against the Cornhuskers since 1968. Iowa State was 7-3 when Kansas defeated it to qualify for a bowl game.
But Marchiony and Scholz agreed that they wouldn't have called any of the three victories upsets.
"We need to act like we've been there before," Marchiony said. "We need to send the team a message
that we expect them to win. Every time the students come on the field, we're telling the team, 'Hey, you just won a game we didn't think you could win."
KU Chief of Police Ralph Oliver said that he didn't plan to increase
security and that he wasn't taking any drastic measures this year to prevent students from rushing the field. Al t h o u g h Olivercouldn't disclose his department's plan for dealing with fans who rush the field, he had a
Marchiony couldn't pinpoint one game as a potential tearing-down-of-the-goalposts game, although he said he anticipated every game being a problem until fans proved otherwise. If Marchiony had his

message to send to the students
"It's not a God-given student right to tear down the goalpost," Oliver said. "It is illegal. It is criminal damage to property and it is trespassing to come out of the stands."
Oliver echoed Marchiony's sentiments that KU students should be used to winning home football games. The team went undefeated
way, the only students on the field would be the student athletes.
"The way we should celebrate is the way we celebrate in Allen Fieldhouse," Marchiony said. "We don't have this problem in Allen Fieldhouse. We just stay in the stands and
scream and yell, sing the alma mater with the band and go out afterwards and have a good time."

SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
What's really scary is how Gault can still influence the defense at her new offensive position. The midfield line might as well be a force field when Gault is in the game. She prevents opposing attackers from moving the ball by using her old defensive skills. Her impenetrable play in the middle is part of the reason the Jayhawks' opponents have been averaging only seven shots per game.
One play during the second half of the Furman game on Friday, Aug. 25, showcased how she could combine her attacking and defending talents at her new position.
Gault picked the ball clean
from a Paladin attacker at midfield and sprinted down the right side of the field.
The early success of Gault's midfield play makes it look like she's been playing midfield for her entire career but her progress stems from the help of others.
She weaved in and out of a few defenders then flipped the ball into the center of the box to the trailing Lacey Novak, senior forward. Novak easily scored and Gault was credited with the assist.
"We've had great midfielders in the past," Gault said. "Just being able to watch them has helped me out a lot."
The season is still young but Gault has helped lead her team to a 2-1-0 record, with the only loss coming against nationally ranked California. Gault wants to guide Kansas to a Big 12 Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth this season.
"Each week gives us more time to fine tune," she said. "The attacking side just comes with experience."

Backup drug test clears Marion Jones of performance-enhancing drug use
FLY FLOT

ROMA
Alessandra Tarantino/Associated Press
Marion Jones sprints on her way to placing second in the women's 100 metres at the IAAF Golden Gala International track meet, in Rome's Olympic stadium, in this July 14, 2006 file photo.
The backup test, conducted at the same UCLA lab using the same sample, came back negative, however, meaning the 30-year-old sprinter has been cleared of any wrongdoing. She faced a minimum two-year ban.
USADA general counsel Travis Tygart did not immediately return messages left late Wednesday by The Associated Press. U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Darryl Seibel said the federation had no comment on the news.
The backup drug test for sprinter Marion Jones came back negative, clearing the five-time Olympic medalist of doping allegations that have dogged her for the past month, her attorneys said Wednesday night.
"I am anxious to get back on the track." Jones said.
The statement, released by attorney Rich Nichols, said the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency informed Jones that the test had come back negative. USADA does not comment on active cases and never acknowledged Jones' positive "A" test.
"I am absolutely ecstatic," Jones said in a statement released by her lawyers. "I have always maintained that I have never ever taken performance enhancing drugs, and I am pleased that a scientific process has now demonstrated that fact."
jones tested positive for the banned endurance enhancer EPO on June 23. She withdrew from a meet in Switzerland hours before reports of the test result were revealed.
Questions have long been raised about the reliability of EPO testing in the past, and this negative "B" test will spark further debate.
"I believe there are issues with that test," said Howard Jacobs, another Jones attorney who has defended several athletes on doping charges. "It's a difficult test. From what I saw on the 'A' sample, it was questionable as to whether it should've been called a positive. I can't say I was shocked that the 'B' came back negative based on what the 'A' looked like."
As he has in the doping case involving Tour de France winner Floyd Landis, Jacobs derided the leaking of positive tests. Doping cases aren't supposed to be made public until they are resolved, but most become public through the media once a positive "A" test is confirmed.

Nadal loses to 54-ranked Russian in upset U.S. Open men's match
BY HOWARD FENDRICH ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Rafael Nadal's shots were off the mark and, more shockingly, even his boundless energy seemed to fail him. After one miss-hit, the man usually in perpetual motion hunched over, hands on knees, to catch his breath.
No. 2 Nadal and No. 1 Roger Federer will not become the first pair of men to meet in three consecutive Grand Slam finals during a season: Nadal was upset in the U.S.
Open quarterfinals by 54th-ranked Mikhail Youzhyn of Russia 6-3, 5-7,
7-6 (5), 6-1 on Wednesday.
He wasn't alone. After all, Youzhny never before had been beyond the fourth round of a major tournament. What was most remarkable was the way Nadal, the two-time French Open champion and this year's Wimbledon runner-up, succumbed at the end, hanging his head at changeovers in the fourth set after
"Unbelievable." Youzhny said. "I cannot believe I beat Rafa in four sets."
wasting a 5-4 lead in the tiebreaker
"I am trying to fight, but I wasn't," Nadal said. "I was not my best in the fourth, no? I know I lost a big opportunity. And after that, Mikhail is playing unbelievable ... all winners."
It was the biggest news on a busy day following Tuesday's almost total rainout. And it's probably safe to say that Youzhyny's seminal opponent — either Andy Roddick or Lleyton Hewitt, two past Open champions who were to meet later Wednesday — would be relieved not to have to
On the other side of the men's draw, the top-seeded Federer moved into a quarterfinal against No. 5 James Blake, both winning in straight sets. That half's other quarterfinal will be No. 7 Nikolay Davydenko against No. 14 Tommy Haas.
"If I play my best, then I don't see any reason why I can't win. If he's playing his best, then I can see a reason why I might not win, but it's possible," said Blake, trying to reach his first major semifinal. "He's lost before. He is human."

Mizzou WR shows speed
Franklin catches, rushes to bring Tigers a victory
BY TROY SCHULTE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — It didn't take long for the new and improved Will Franklin to show himself.
Six plays into Missouri's season-opening 47-7 win over Murray State Saturday, the junior wide receiver took a short pass from quarterback Chase Daniel, made a quick move around the cornerback and ran untouched 60 yards for a touchdown.
Franklin also caught a 34-yard scoring pass later in the game among four catches for 138 yards. For teammates and coaches, it was an extension of what they've seen from the St. Louis native since the beginning of preseason.
"I'm not going to say I was immature," he said. "Just knowing that I'm going on the downhill of college, the last two years, it was time to mature. It wasn't a choice or an option. It was time to be a leader for the younger guys."
Franklin was second on the team with 40 catches for 413 yards in 2005. But there were still a few things he needed to change before he could turn into a consistent threat.
Franklin lost two mentors after last season with the graduation of quarterback Brad Smith and receiver Sean Coffey. When senior Brad Ekwerekwu was forced to miss the first three weeks of fall camp after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, Franklin became, temporarily, the most experienced member of the receiving corps.
That's when the "light went on" for Franklin, receivers coach Andy Hill said, "the realization that the guys you looked up to, the guys you counted on for motivation or guidance and counsel are now gone. You either accept the role or you shy away from it. He's done a good job of accepting it."
Evidence of Franklin's maturity came in how he evaluated his performance after the Murray State game. He was critical of himself for two drops that could have been touch-downs.
"I don't accept that as a good performance—I dropped two balls," Franklin said. "Next week, when I get those opportunities again, I'll make the best of them."
Coach Gary Pinkel was plenty pleased with what he saw of Franklin.
"What you saw is what we've been seeing all through spring and two-a-days," Pinkel said.
Daniel, speaking at the team's weekly news conference Monday, said it is obvious Franklin wants to be considered a dependable target.
"There is just something — a sparkle in his eye or something — that tells you he really wants the ball and he really wants to be a playmaker in this offense," Daniel said.
Franklin has had other big games in his career, including the 2005 opener when he caught eight passes for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 44-17 win over Arkansas State. Coaches say the key is keeping it up
"We're shooting for consistency every week," Hill said.

Statue of Rocky creates a debate Philadelphia museum will display figure
BY JOANN LOVIGLIO ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Rocky Balboa — or more specifically, a statue of the Hollywood palooka, boxing gloves raised in triumph — is being restored to a spot outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the winner by a split decision in a bout between fine art and pop culture.
Despite complaints that the statue is piece of kitsch underserving of display near Renois and Monets, the city Art Commission voted 6-2 Wednesday to move the 2,000-pound bronze out of storage and put it on a street-level pedestal near the museum steps.
The steps were the setting for one of the most famous scenes in Sylvester Stallone's 1976 movie "Rocky" and have been a big tourist attraction ever since, with visitors to Philadelphia imitating the Italian Stallion's sweat-suited dash to the top. (Of course, after bounding up the 72 steps and pumping their fists in the air like Rocky, the tourists often turn around and leave without setting foot in the museum.)

Wednesday. Rocky Balboa — or more specifically, a statue of the Hollywood palooka, boxing gloves raised in triumph — is being restored to a spot outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The 8-foot-6 Rocky is expected to be on his granite pedestal in time for a dedication ceremony Friday.
Joyful celebration on a rooftop with a city skyline in the background.
"We're thrilled," said city Commerce Director Stephanie
Naidoff. "What more wonderful a symbol of hard work and dedication is there than Rocky?"
Matt Rourke/Associated Press
The two commission members who voted against the move, artist Moe Brooker and University of the Arts president Miguel Angel Corzo, said the site was inappropriate.
"It's not a work of art and ... it doesn't belong there," said Brooker, a professor at Moore College of Art and Design. Rocky's battle to the top "is a concept, it is an idea, and ideas don't need justification in terms of objects."
Corzo suggested that he might resign from the commission over the vote, saying that placing the pugilist near the museum goes against the commission's desire to "raise the standards of the city."
He said the issue for him was not whether the statue was art, pointing out the debatable aesthetic value of some of the Philadelphia museum's works — for example, a porcelain urinal by avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp. But he questioned whether Rocky deserved to be neighbors with sculptures such as Rodin's "The Thinker," which sits nearby on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
But the majority of commissioners who approved the move said Rocky has become synonymous with Philadelphia.
"This is not art as it has been defined by aesthetic' standards, said commissioner Emanuel Kelly, who scored the fight for Rocky. "But in terms of this as a cultural icon over 30 years, it has beared the test of time."
The sculpture by A. Thomas
Schomberg was commissioned by Stallone for a scene in "Rocky III" (1982) and also appeared in "Rocky V" (1990). After the third Rocky installment, Stallone donated the statue to the city — and the real fight began.
The statue was installed at the
top of the museum steps, but was removed after just a few months when museum officials and art afficionados argued that it was merely a movie prop and that its "exaggerated proportions and caricature" would sully the internationally renowned museum's image.
After much bobbing and weaving, Rocky was moved to a spot at the city's sports stadium complex in South Philadelphia. It was moved again and eventually warehoused after filming began on the latest installment of the saga, "Rocky Balboa," which hits theaters in December.

After reading today's feature about KU grads in the Peace Corps, I'm starting to think that the program doesn't sound like a bad idea. These Jayhawk alums are volunteering their time and energy around the world, forming friendships, helping people and making incredible memories.

Someone once told me that it's really hard to make a bad decision about your future at this point in your life. I have a lot of options, and if the Peace Corps doesn't end up being my choice, it's good to know that there are still generous, dedicated people making the world a better place.

I’VE RECENTLY BEEN SEEING THIS FRESHMAN, AND SHE AND I HAVE THESE HOT, CRAZY, AWESOME, MARATHON MAKE OUT SESSIONS, BUT WE HAVEN’T ROUNDED FIRST YET. I THINK SHE’S PRETTY INNOCENT, WHICH I’M FINE WITH, BUT AFTER I DROP HER OFF I GET REALLY BAD “BLUE BALLS.” WHAT SHOULD I DO?
— PATRICK, SOPHOMORE
Chris: In baseball, when a runner hasn’t “rounded first,” it means he’s been thrown out. You, Patrick, are that runner. If she hasn’t given you the sign to head into second yet, then she lacks confidence in your abilities as a base runner. I have little doubt that what you refer to as “hot, crazy, awesome, marathon make out sessions” are in reality disgusting, tedious, tongue-heavy grope-fests that would make your average seventh grader swear off playing “Seven Minutes in Heaven” for the rest of her life. With your dentist’s drill of a kiss, your poor freshman fool is probably suffering from “blue gums,” and not the good kind. Given your poor-to-terrifying lovemaking skills, I would strongly suggest that the best cure for your “blue balls” is getting to know “Miss Rosy Palms.” I guarantee she won’t leave you hanging, and you won’t have to pay for dinner.
Niloofar: For those who missed that episode of “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” “blue balls” is a slang term referring to the tenderness and cramp-like pain in the testes resulting from increased blood flow to that area after long periods of sexual arousal without release through orgasm. So basically, you’re suffering from some testicular congestion. Unfortunately, unlike with your nasal passages, Tylenol won’t take away the pain, and there aren’t any sprays for your sac. What options does that leave you with? There’s the cold shower and/or the bag of ice to the crotch. These methods help by causing vessel constriction and a consequent decrease in blood flow. Physical exercise like walking or climbing stairs can also be beneficial. Some suggest that just lying down can help. If all else fails, there’s always the option of some self-service to deflate the balloons. Just a note to the ladies: Never let a guy use blue balls as an excuse to pressure you into going farther than you want to. Remember, he can always burp the baby… with or without you.
I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH ALWAYS LEADING GUYS ON. I WILL GO OUT WITH A GUY A FEW TIMES, MAYBE MAKE OUT WITH HIM AND THEN AFTER THAT, I WON’T HAVE ANY MORE INTEREST. WHY DO I LOSE INTEREST SO QUICKLY? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? THE LAST GUY I DID THIS TO HAS BEEN CALLING ME FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS, AND I HAVE NOT ANSWERED HIS CALLS YET. THE MORE HE CALLS, THE MORE IT IRRITATES ME THAT I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD DO SOMETHING. AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH, I ENJOY THE FACT THAT I CAN PLAY WITH GUYS’ EMOTIONS SO EASILY. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I SHOULD DO.
— SALLY, FRESHMAN
Chris: I’ll attempt to answer your questions in order. One, there’s a possibility you lose interest because you’re dating guys like Patrick above. My grandma used to have a saying, “If a man can’t kiss, he ain’t worth your piss.” God, Grandma was gross. Two, yes, there’s something wrong with you. I don’t know if you’re mad at Daddy, emotionally scarred from past relationship failures, or if you’re simply a frigid harpy incapable of love, but there’s some serious dysfunction in your dating. Apparently “playing with guys’ emotions” is the new codeword for “cock tease.” Perhaps you shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss this stalker who won’t quit calling. For some reason, he’s still interested — probably because he hasn’t actually talked to you for more than five minutes. He just wants a ride on the train wreck that is your love life, but I don’t see the harm in giving him a shot. Maybe this time you’ll be considerate enough to play with more than his emotions.
Niloofar: You say you lose interest quickly, but I’m willing to bet you were never interested at all. More than likely, you were interested in the fact that they were interested. You get excited over the fact that someone likes you, you get dressed up, you go out, and then you get let down. That’s because no matter how much someone else might like you, it won’t be fulfilling until you stop trying to get and start trying to give. Don’t go out with the intention of finding someone who will love you. Instead, go out and ask yourself if the guy you’re with is a person you could love. Before you can love him, you have to love yourself. Unfortunately, it sounds like you have a case of low self-esteem. Stop seeking validation from others and responding to every person who shows some interest, and start showing some selectivity. You’ll see a quick turn-around in the quality of your dating experiences and in your life in general. Not to mention you’ll save yourself the trouble of having to obtain (multiple) restraining orders.

TAKE YOUR VITAMINS
Supplements good for the mind, body and soul
by Erika Bentson
Lastsummer,BrandonHidaka,Overland Park junior, noticed something was wrong when he started feeling lightheaded and dizzy. After some research on the Internet, he found his diet — mostly ground beef and chicken — was responsible for his faint demeanor because he wasn't getting enough vitamin B-6.
Hidaka's vitamin B find led him to
start researching the importance of vitamins in a person's diet, and now he takes several supplements daily, in addition to maintaining a healthier diet.
College students' lives can be hectic, leaving little time to eat and get all the vitamins and minerals you need each day. Vitamins A to Zinc can help you get healthy and stay that way.
IMMUNE HELP
Taking a multi-vitamin can help improve overall health, but college students will have plenty of opportunities to get sick during the winter months. In communal spaces — like the bar or library — germs spread easily, especially if you don't wash your hands, says Janet Hierl, staff pharmacist at Round Corner Drugstore, 801 Massachusetts St. Add a lack of sleep to the equation and you've got a cold, or worse, the flu.
"Vitamin C is a standard thing to take during the cold and flu season," Heirl says.
Emergen-C packets come in eight flavors and hold 1,000 percent of your daily value for vitamin-C, vitamin-B complexes and 32 other minerals.
If you don't like taking pills, Emergen-C powder packets are a way and different way to get your vitamins, says Aaron Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center, 4931 W. Sixth St.
Other supplements like Echinacea and Zinc build the immune system and can prevent some infections and can shorten the length of others, Hierl says.
SKIN TIP
Fish oil supplements are good for people with dry skin and even
Fish oil sup good for peop skin and even eczema says Steve Ilardi, associate professor of psychology.

ALCOHOL AIDS
Your extracurricular activities can involve a lot of alcohol, but taking a milk thistle supplement can help protect the liver, says Boes, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center.
A night of drinking can leave you with a painful hangover. Taking a B-complex vitamin and a garlic capsule can also help your body redistribute vitamins that may have been lost during the dehydration that occurs after drinking. Boos says.

ALREADY ILL?
Multi-vitamins made from organic, whole foods, like the Only One brand, are best because they allow your body to digest them more naturally, says Millspaugh, vitamin buyer at The Merc.
Goldenseal is another supplement that can be helpful when you have already become slick.
"Goldenseal is nature's antibiotic," says Khosh, naturopathic doctor.
DIGESTION AND DIET
If you are looking to improve your diet, try taking a probiotic supplement, says Lowen Millspaugh, vitamin buyer at The Merc.
Because your digestive system gets disrupted from toxins in your environment and unhealthy foods, you don't get as much good bacteria that you would from a healthy, whole food diet, Millspaugh says.
Probiotics add the good bacteria back into your colon that you need to effectively digest your food, says Farhang Khosh, naturopathic doctor at Natural Medical Care, 4842 Quail Crest Place.
Antibiotics can also kill off all the bacteria in our colons, both good and bad, which can also disrupt our digestive systems, Khosh says.
But be careful when buying supplements from large retailers because they may not be as potent as other specialized brands, says Boos, owner of Lawrence Nutrition Center. So be sure to read the back label to see the potency of supplements that you buy.

BOOST YOUR MEMORY
Other good supplements for students to add to their diets are fish oil and ginkgo biloba, says Khosh, naturopathic doctor. Eating fish and fish oil improve brain activity and gingko improves blood circulation and delivers more oxygen to the brain, improving memory, Khosh says.

When you least expect it, we're listening. A Jayplay reporter is always out there, writing down what you say. Then, each week we pick a few of your private conversations to print. Don't worry, we won't reveal your names... unless you owe us money.
Girl 1: What was that stuff called?
Girl 2: I don't know what it's called, but I told you it was good. It's made by Vaseline.
Girl 1: I love cartoons!
Girl 2: Have you seen that one
where the snake dresses up
like a ballerina?
Girl 1: No.
Girl 2: It's awesome!
Girl: (Smelling him) Do you wear that Giorgio Armani cologne?
Woman on speakerphone:
Do you have the munchies?
Girl 1: Of course, Mom. How do you think people gain the Freshman 15? They're fucking high.
Guy:No it's like Awkinthonica...
I can't pronounce it. It's good though.
Speakerphone: (laughs) OK, I've got to go back to the casino.
Girl 1: All right Mom, I'll be expecting a drunk dial later. Don't gamble all our money away.
Girl 1 (to Girl 2): Last time she went to Vegas she got drunk, went up and hugged a tree and said,"I love you, tree."
Girl 1 (looking my direction):
Is that guy listening to us?
Girl 2: He probably just thinks you're cute.
Girl 1: That's creepy.
Girl 1:1 yelled at him last night because I thought he cheated on me.
Girl on phone: I'm on campus. I have four hours between classes so I'm camping out in the basement of Budig, napping. You could say I'm the queen of campus-napping.
Girl 2: What happened?
Girl 1: He didn't call me back.
Girl 2: So... you thought he cheated on you? That doesn't make any sense.

Bob, you can Freecycle them. You don't even need to take your stuff down to Highway 61.

The national Freecycle movement began in Tucson, Ariz., in May 2003 when a man noticed a lot of good stuff was being thrown away. This man, Deron Beal, was working with a non-profit organization that helped local businesses recycle.
He wanted this stuff to go to use, so he set up an e-mail group with 30 or 40 people, where he sent messages when he got stuff, and people would message back when they wanted it.
Wildfirel Turned out lots of people had lots of junk.Freecycle grew and spread to other cities and towns, and less than a year later a KU employee started a Freecycle group in Lawrence, and ba-da-bing, now your freakin' grandma knows about it.
(At least one KU student's does, and the grandma,Lawrence resident Kendall Simmons, was looking for a graphic calculator for her freshman granddaughter, Alix Rieman of Topeka)
People have received above-ground pools on Freecycle. And cars. And couches. And boxes, barbed-wire, flower seeds. You name it, Dick's getting rid of it, and Jane wants it.
A message at the top of the Lawrence Freecycle site, www lifeinlawrence.com, proclaims: "it's kinda like a dumpster living on the internet!"
If Freecycle is a dumpster, some can't keep their noses out of the stench. Jason Cole, Lawrence graduate student, checks it about every day.
Others practically live off it. Ryan McCarty,Grand Rapids,Mich., graduate student, and his wife, Nicole, live in an apartment half furnished by Freecycle. They had to carry their kitchen table several blocks uphill on 11th Street and their filing cabinets were infested with spiders and filth that took two hours to hose off, but Ryan says he doesn't mind.
Shala London, assistant director of the KU Center for Economic Education started Lawrence Freecycle in January 2004. She was taking time off of work to have her first child, when she heard about Freecycle and thought it would be cool if Lawrence had a group.
So she asked the moderators of Kansas City Freecycle how they did it and set up a Web site and a Yahoo listserve. It doesn't take a computer whiz to start a group, which is part of why the program has grown so fast.
There are now 1,700 Lawrence Freecycle users. This
means that when someone posts an offer, it goes quickly.
"We've gotten rid of lamps, shelving units, the whole nine yards," says Tim Dennehy, a Lawrence Freecycle member and KU Network & Telecommunications Services network engineer. "It doesn't even last 24 hours and it's gone."
Freecycle users have also pitched in for people in need, like when McCarty and his wife gave away a used TV and some dolls to a woman who said she couldn't afford Christmas gifts for her kids.
Sometimes, the response has
been immediate. Last October, fire destroyed a 76-unit building of Boardwalk Apartments, killing three people, injuring 20 and displacing 80 residents on the 500 block of Fireside Drive.
Model Richinda Brower Topeka freshman reaches into a dumpster to retrieve a lamp.
At 6:15 a.m., five hours after the fire started, a Freecycle user asked for help for a friend who had two little girls and lost everything in the fire. Three days later, she posted a thank you message.
"There's a great deal of satisfaction from giving away something you neither need nor want to someone who can use it." London says.
The Freecycle motto is
"changing the world one gift at a time." But mostly, Freecycle users are just people trying to keep their stuff out of the landfill. Or get rid of 132 half-burned candles, like Maureen Warren, Garden City graduate student, did after she used them at her wedding reception.
So, Bob, you still got all those shoe strings and broken telephones? Because I know some folks who'll take 'em off your hands. Free of charge.

Granitz's main focus in his village is introducing a new species of rice that doesn't require much water to grow (as the Sahara is slowly creeping south). He received a plot of land from his village chief and has been farming it since June.
(1)
Granitz shakes hands with the chief of his village, Jamagen. The village is made up of about 150 people, all clustered in compounds by family.
Granitz walks back to his village from the farm. The village sits on one of two paved roads in the country, which is both good and bad. It makes public transport a little easier, but has invited hordes of tourists who stop to snap pictures and give away toys and candy before moving on.
A. D.
It's seven o'clock in the evening,
West African time, when Peter Granitz steps off a plane and is smacked by a wave of sweltering heat. He's been awake for more than
24 hours now, and the mixture of sweat and exhaustion have stymied his emotions. His body moves methodically, following the other

passengers off the plane and onto a rickety, overcrowded bus. There's no need to stop at the luggage terminal before boarding; everything he's brought with him fits into his framed backpack and tiny carry-on bag.
After more than a year of anticipation and a quick three-day preparation seminar that he and other Peace Corps volunteers attended in Philadelphia, Granitz gets his first glimpse of Gambia. A city of 1.5 million, Gambia has sub-tropical heat and two distinct seasons. It is located in West Africa, the smallest and most western country on the continent. Granitz will be the only American living in a remote village just outside of the city. He will call it home for the next two years of his life.
Grantitz, a 2005 graduate, is one of nearly 8,000 volunteers currently serving abroad as a member of the PeaceCorps. The University of Kansas produces more volunteers than
virtually any other university in the country, according to the Peace Corps organization.
"It's the toughest job you'll ever love"; that's the motto of the Peace Corps and, ironically, it seems to sum up the experience of a Peace Corps volunteer perfectly. It's tough. The decision to move away from family and friends for a full two years of your life is tough. The application process, testing and medical exams are tough. And once you're there, well, that's tough too. Yet, thousands of young Americans, including more than 800 former KU students, have volunteered abroad.
There are three major goals of the Peace Corps: to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women; to help the people served to have a better

understanding of Americans; and to help Americans have a better understanding of other peoples. The dedication and hard work of Peace Corps volunteers are making these goals a reality every day for millions of children, farmers and families living in destitute areas throughout the world.
Yet, there is a continuing debate about whether Peace Corps volunteers need or should be in the countries where they serve. Proponents of the organization believe that the presence of volunteers promotes peace and

The Peace Corps was created in 1960, after then-Senator John F. Kennedy challenged University of Michigan students to serve their country by living and working in developing countries. Kennedy thought that if young people could reach out to struggling countries, it would be a positive step toward world-wide peace, according to www.peacecorps.gov, the Peace Corps national Web site.

Morning. Granitz awakes in his host family's mud hut and swats at the bugs that are swarming above his head. He showers under a stream of cold water, then dresses in the dark. Hot water and electricity aren't necessities in the village, and they are nowhere to be had. He doesn't bother to eat the breakfast that his family has served — coos porridge with sour milk. He will find something on his own.
The hut and living conditions are up to US government standards, but Granitz has learned quickly that those standards don't tend to be very high.
Betty Baron, KU Peace Corps coordinator and former Volunteer, says that she interviews more than 150 potential applicants each year, of which about 30 percent
He's his own boss. He reports his whereabouts to the Peace Corps office on Friday mornings. That's it. Otherwise, he's pretty much on his own. The job requires both patience and a strong work ethic.
He spends most of his day talking with local farmers. His agricultural and forestry job with the Peace Corps has sent him to teach the people of West Africa techniques for generating profit through cultivation and farming. Recently, he's been working on a project to create a new, more profitable strain of rice.
Today, more than 182,000 volunteers have served in 138 countries, including parts of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe and the Middle East. When applying, applicants have an opportunity to preference in which area of the world they would like to live and on which of six assignments they most want to work. The assignments choices are education, health and HIV/AIDS awareness, business development, environment, agriculture and youth development.
will eventually become members. KU, she says, produces one of the highest number of volunteers each year.
The median age of a Peace Corps volunteer, or PC, as members tend to call themselves, is 25. Most have a college degree and more than 90 percent are unmarried, according to an informational flyer produced by the organization. Baron and many other regional Peace Corps recruiters are stationed at universities because they seem to be the best places to find potential PC volunteers.
In fact, the Peace Corps organization reported last year that 52 new volunteers were from KU.
Evening. A group of village children excitedly move to the pumping beats of the Outkast boys. Since Granitz's arrival in the village, these impromptu dance parties have become a sort of tradition, and tonight the children are spellbound by the band's fast-talking lyrics and by the other American rap and hip hop groups he plays.
Among the few personal belongings Granitz has managed to bring with him is an iPod. Nearly every day, he travels two miles to charge it using solar power at a fellow volunteer's camp. It is inconvenient, sure, but it has proven to be a good investment.
Americanization
When Granitz travels to the nearby city of Gambia, West Africa's largest metropolis, he encounters a completely different scene than what he sees daily in his village.
Young people have migrated to Gambia, many to become prostitutes in the country's booming sex trade business. To these young Gambians, America remains a mystery. Most have never seen a picture of America, let alone met an American. Yet, young men walk around wearing reproduction NBA basketball jerseys and Nike tennis shoes.
They listen to American hip hop music.
There are definite western influences in urban areas of the country he's stationed,Granitz says. In the villages,people live off the land. They're without most of the common luxuries that Americans and Europeans take for granted, like electricity,phones and hot water,he says. But in the city,you can see and feel the effects of western imports.
Most of the people living in the city are "about 10 years past the urban style and slang that we use in America, but they're catching on," he says. "Everyone asks if I'm from New York or LA. Do I know 50 Cent."
It's 9 p.m., dinner time in the small village where Granitz lives. He's been in Gambia for several months now, and he knows what to expect on tonight's menu — coos, a type of grain eaten morning, noon and night, with peanut sauce and tomatoes. Beans if he's lucky.
On the dirt ground, in the middle of a grouping of huts, sit three large food-filled bowls that all of the villagers eat from. It's not much, but what they do have they are willing to share. Granitz joins the village men who are squatting around the bowl designated for males. The second bowl is designated for women and the third, for children and elderly women. To eat from a bowl that is for women and children would be considered improper.
All of the men eat with their hands — their right hand. Because so much is done with your hands in West Africa, it is a courtesy to eat with your right hand and to reserve your left hand for other bodily functions. No one talks. No one drinks either. Water, customarily, isn't drunk until the end of the meal because filling yourself with water seems silly when food here is so highly prized.

Nutrition and health
Getting enough food and staying healthy seem to be two of the main concerns for new Volunteers.
"I'm just worried that there's going to be a big adjustment to my lifestyle," says Anna Foerster, Topeka senior, who is considering Joining the Peace Corps after graduation. "I'm a vegetarian, so I'm not sure what I'm going to have to eat and where I'd go if I couldn't eat or if I get sick."
Volunteers are expected to eat the food that is provided by their host families. This usually means that special diets and cravings for chocolate chip cookies are out of the question.
Most participants have complaints about the food of their host country during the first few months, according to On the Homefront, a book produced by the Peace Corps for families of Volunteers. Being made to eat "food that's too spicy, too bland, too rich, too little, too much or too weird," is normal, according to the book. To maintain proper nutrition, though, volunteers are encouraged to eat what they are served.
Although the Peace Corps has an extensive health care program in place, volunteers do occasionally become ill or get injured. When this happens, they sometimes must travel to the nearest metropolis before receiving attention from a
licensed doctor or nurse. If more extensive medical attention is needed, a volunteer may have to be flown out of the country altogether.
To limit health care needs, the Peace Corps promotes a four-step prevention process including immunizations against locally occurring diseases; pre-, mid- and post-service physical and dental exams; a 25-hourhealth education seminarforvolunteers before departure and distribution of health care newsletters, according to On the Homefront.

All of the medical testing that applicants are required to complete before being accepted into the program can discourage some, however. "I'm frustrated," says Natalie Murrin, Kansas State graduate. "It's frustrating that once you decide this is something you want to do that they can't put you in a program and worry about all of the medical testing later."

Murrin, who is currently waiting to be accepted into the program, has spent several months and hundreds of dollars completing physical, dental and eye exams as part of her application process. Because her initial physical exams indicated

Although frustrating, all of the testing helps to prevent unforeseen health issues once volunteers arrive and keeps most volunteers healthy.
"I didn't really have any safety or health concerns, but I'm a really healthy person, so I don't
really have them much anyway" says Scott McKenzie, a volunteer currently serving in Morocco. "That said, PC has excellent health care set up for us here and everywhere."
The only food frustration McKenzie has encountered while abroad is learning how to order vegetarian food at local restaurants. "We all go to the same sandwich shop, but it took me a moth to explain that I didn't want any meat, just eggs. With a lot of explaining and work, I got it down, and now it's totally fine," he says. McKenzie believes that the frustration resulted more from a language barrier that a reluctance
from the restaurant to prepare vegetarian dishes, though.
In the city, Granitz doesn't fear for his safety. Hes 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighs more than 200 pounds. He thinks it would be silly for someone to try to mess with him.
He knows, though, that not everyone is so lucky to have his dominant stature. He's heard stories about the abuse of female volunteers who have traveled to the city. In West Africa, a mostly Islamic community, showing your stomach or even wearing a tank top can offend. He worries more for their safety than for his own.
Safety
Lizette Peter, who volunteered as an English language teacher for eight years, mostly in Sri Lanka has experienced what it's like to live in an unstable country firsthand. In late 1980s, when she was serving in the Peace Corps, the country was in the middle of a civil war. Ethnic tensions between rival religious groups the Sinhalese and Tamilese made violence an everyday occurrence.
"A lot of students didn't get along very well. The conflict infiltrated even my classroom," she says. In 1989, three years after her arrival, Peter and her fellow Peace Corps volunteers were evacuated out of the country.
"The principal of the school had been murdered, buses had been burned," she says.
"(The evacuation) was pretty traumatic. In those times we got a lot of updates from the state department on safety for Americans. They told us there would be a dry run evacuation to see how long it would take to get all of the volunteers into the capital in case of an emergency.
When they came, they said, 'Lizette pack everything up because you're leaving.' I had about five minutes to pack everything up I owned and say goodbye to my family. Just as the van (that had come to pick me up) was pulling out, a mass of my students came running after the bus. I kept yelling to the bus driver to stop so I could say goodbye, but he wouldn't. That was my last memory."
Although Peter's story is a good reminder of the dangers that volunteers potentially face, evacuation has rarely occurred in the organization's history. Baron, KU Peace Corps coordinator, says there is a safety and security officer in every area that the organization serves, which helps keep volunteers safe. "Do things happen? Yes, they do, but things happen in Lawrence. You can get shot on Massachusetts Street," she says.
Much more common is the backlash some volunteers face when abroad. Baron says that many applicants fear that when they arrive in their host countries, they will encounter resistance. The opposite is true, she says. "We're all about building friendships. We
dont want to just build a bridge for them. We want to educate them on why they need a bridge and work with them to build that bridge.
Granitz says that most Gambians assume that Americans are rich, but that he has never worried about a backlash. "My parents are middle class, but Gambians assume we have just as much as someone like Bill Gates. I'll never fully teach them that they're not all millionaires. But if you understand and respect where they've gotten those ideas, then you'll be fine," he says.
Understanding and respect seem to go a long way with people in host countries. Many volunteers say that attempting to understand a culture and respecting its customs and practices has helped them build a lifelong relationship with their host families and countries. That relationship seems to be mutually beneficial. The Peace Corps gives back to volunteers as much as volunteers have given of themselves to the organization they've joined and the people they help.
"In the end, I benefitted a lot more than the Sri Lanka people, Peter says. "There is probably not a day that goes by that I don't think about Sri Lanka. It is that engrained in my psyche. My Peace Corps experience has been the greatest thing that has impacted my life."

STRANGERS by Beth Breitenstein IN THE NIGHT How to survive living in close quarters with a pot-luck roommate
IN THE BED
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/XIMBERLY WESTPHALL
It is 3 a.m., and you are in the top bunk staring at the dotted ceiling tiles, contemplating why you came here in the first place. You hear the beats of "In Da Club" blaring from your roommate's iPod. She is wide-awake reading the latest issue of Cosmo, and her light is shining directly in your eyes. Suddenly, you hear a familiar sound. Her cell phone is blaring once again (another 50 Cent tune), and she pounces up to answer it. You know who it is. Her boyfriend has been calling in five-minute intervals for hours now. You already know how the conversation will go. You wish you had something heavy to throw at her.
Depending on a "luck of the draw" system to determine the person that you will be in close quarters with for nine months is risky business. But, every year, thousands of college freshmen all over the country take that risk. They hope that they'll end up with a friend for life. However, it isn't that easy to live with a stranger.
So, here are some tips, and a checklist, if you will, on how to survive a pot-luck roommate.
The early bird annoys the roommate
Coordinate your schedules. College is supposed to be a time for freedom and bed time doesn't exactly sound like a declaration of independence. But, when it comes down to it, this will help. Mike Parks, Newton senior, and his roommate had problems with this one.
"I went to bed late, and my roommate would get up really early and make coffee. It would wake me up, and now I hate the smell of coffee," says Parks.
Solution: Compromise, compromise, compromise. Just ask Adam Diskin, Prairie Village freshman and McCollum resident.
"if we both have classes at an early hour, even if they are an
Attack of the slob
hour apart, we set our alarms at the same time to compromise," Diskin says. It all comes down to being courteous. If your roommate has an 8 a.m. class, dor't stumble in the room at 3 a.m. and continue the party.
Cleaning is not something that every 18 year old is gung-ho about. Face it, it's every teenager's parent's biggest complaint. But, your parents might have been on to something. Maybe they knew that someday you would be trapped in a four by six room with a roommate who thinks the floor is just a convenient extension of the closet. We've all encountered a sloppy person one time or another. But, living
College equals beer, allnighters and keg stands. While this is fun, there is also an education to be had. You just might end up living with that 4.0 student who would rather read about the history of Jack
Party time,excellent
"The best time to discuss this is early on, but even if it's halfway through the semester, a conversation can help. Be careful to keep comments directed at how you want the room to be kept rather than labeling your roommate a slob or neat freak," Fee says.
Daniels whiskey than drink it. So, be respectful. Things like religion and different cultural backgrounds may influence whether your roommate "parties."
with one is a bit more difficult. Solution: Communication is important, says Susan Fee, author of My Roommate is Driving Me Crazy!
Solution."Labeling or judging a roommate for who he/she is will lead to a fight, but asking that your roommate enter the room or wakes up more quietly is perfectly fine to request," Fee says. Plus, knowing the history of Jack Daniels could make a great pick-up line.
Talk it out
Some KU residence halls already implement a roommate agreement form to ensure no conflict with these previously mentioned issues. One of these is Oliver
Hall, 1815 Naismith Drive. "We have them fill out these forms to clarify when guests should be allowed, when they go to sleep, and so on" says Scott Bird, Resident Assistant at Oliver Hall and Burlington sophomore. "If a problem is ever brought up, we consult the form," he says.
So, next time that 50 Cent song is haunting your dreams, think about the aforementioned solutions, or seeing your conveniently placed Resident Assistant. They just might be able to help out when things aren't going so well. And, hey, you never know. That stranger might just turn into a life-long friend (but maybe not a life-long roommate).
10 WAYS TO GET ON YOUR RA'S BAD SIDE
1. Get as many people involved in your situation as possible by gossiping to friends and floormates and encouraging them to take sides.
2. Have your parents become overly involved by calling the RA, Hall Director and Area Coordinator and insisting that something be done immediately.
3. Decide that you're moving out and start making plans before you even talk to your RA.
4. Absolutely refuse to compromise.

FASHION FIND
WIDE BELTS CINCH WAISTS
The days of sporting low-slung belts that look as though they're about to slide off your hips are gone.Don't worry... the waist accessory is still in, but the new trend is wearing the belt much higher up, actually closer to the natural waist. This trend is also one of style.com's top 10 fashion looks.
Wide belts look best with dresses or shirts that are longer or button down, says
Erica Yarbrough, assistant manager at Britches, 843 Massachusetts St.

Adding these belts to your wardrobe won't set you back too much either. SuperTarget, 3201 S. Iowa St., Britches and Nordstrom.com have belts for $14 to $22.

The Sound the Hare Heard
various artists
Taking its name from an ancient Buddhist parable, "The Sound the Hare Heard" is one mountain of a mix tape — 21 tracks clocking in at just more than 75 minutes, courtesy of the famously cred-heavy label Kill Rock Stars. Ostensibly a showcase for emerging singer-songwriters, the artists highlighted on "STSTH" vary so widely in style it's hard to pin down what unites them. From Devin Davis' neo-traditional folk ballad "When the Angels Lift Our Eyelids in the Morning" to Death Vessel's full-band barnstormer "Dancers All," each track contributes to the album's quaint, patchwork charm.
Like most compilations, "TSTTHH" features some big names, including the Decemberists' Colin Meloy and reigning critics' darling Sufjan Stevens. Meloy's cheeky "Lazy Little Ada" is a welcome addition near the album's end.
but Stevens' contribution is negligible. Not good enough to make the cut for last year's bloated "Illinois,""Adlai Stevenson" finds Stevens doing what he does (best?): layering guitars, banjoes and the kitchen sink, crowing about a man from the Prairie State's historical dustbin. In any case, the song can also be found on "The Avalanche,"Stevens' recently released collection of "Illinois" b-sides.
"TSTTHH" succeeds not because of the big-name contributors, but because of stellar tracks from lesser-known artists (Owen McCarthy's "Stargazers are Blind," Essie Jain's "Why"). It may be a bit too long, but, like all good mix tapes, "TSTTHH" is a worthwhile introduction to a number of up-and-coming artists.

FACING LIFE'S VALUE
a son takes charge when his mother is in the hospital by Jonathan Kealing
Five years ago today, I was sitting in a hospital waiting room, wondering what had happened in the last two weeks. The worst had passed, but I had a new idea of how tenuous normalcy is. Especially with my mom.
Five years and two weeks ago, I had been called to my high school principal's office. When I got there, he pulled me into his office and shut the door. It must be serious, I thought. He asked me if my mom had been sick lately. Alarm bells went off. She had been in bed a lot during the weekend, and she hadn't gotten up that morning to tell me goodbye.
The principal told me to go home and find out what was wrong.
Looking back, I'm amazed I managed to drive home so slowly and calmly.
As you near my house, you can look through yards and see our front door. I saw two firetrucks and an ambulance outside my house. Suddenly, my slow and calm pace left me. I floored it through three stop signs and down residential streets at 50 miles per hour.
I got home in time to see the ambulance pull away. My neighbor drove my brother and me to the hospital. The two of us pieced together what had happened. My mom had extremely high blood pressure.
The paramedics said it was 300 over 190. Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80.The blood pressure machine stops reading at 300.She had been sick all weekend but hadn't gone to see a doctor.Her blood pressure had increased all weekend.Then, on Monday,she'd passed out.
My sister, a five-year-old kindergartener,
had been eating lunch and getting ready
for class when Mom collapsed. Instead of panicking, she ran to my neighbor's house to get help. To this day, we believe my mom would have died if my sister
hadn't gotten help. My neighbor tried to reach my dad, but he was in Minneapolis, Minn. With no family within four hours, I was in charge.
And, though insurance was the last thing I wanted to worry about, the responsibility gave me something to focus on aside from the seriousness of my mom's illness.
TO THIS DAY, WE BELIEVE MY
MOM WOULD HAVE DIED IF MY
SISTER HADN'T GOTTEN HELP.
By late afternoon my dad had arrived. During the next few weeks, I visited the hospital almost every chance I had. When my mom came out of the coma about a week after being admitted, I went to
When my brother, my neighbor and I got to the hospital, I had to take care of filling out the paperwork. I filled out insurance forms. I called my mom's parents to tell them that their daughter was in a coma from extraordinarily high blood pressure. I called my dad's parents, who my mom has always been close with, to tell them their daughter-in-law had passed out at home and was in intensive care.
visit even more. The doctors determined that her blood pressure was sensitive to salt and put her on a very bland diet, but allowed
her to eat smoothies. I was in charge of bringing her one every time I visited.
Every time I came to visit, I brought her a different smoothie. In the week's worth of visits, I must have visited every place that makes smoothies in west St. Louis County. I hit gas stations for icees. I went to Smoothie King. If they made smoothies, I went. My mom and I would sit and talk and eat our smoothies as we tried to make sense of what had happened.
As I learned more, I realized how frightening the whole experience was. For most of the weekend she'd been virtually
blind. Her blood pressure was so high that it had cut off her vision, but she still hadn't said anything to any of us. That's how my mom is. No matter how sick she gets, she deals with it herself and does whatever the rest of us need.
Fortunately, my mom suffered few enduring effects from the episode. Doctors warned she could have permanently gone blind. Her kidneys were greatly damaged, but they could have quit working altogether. She could have had brain damage. Somehow she has made a full recovery.
Now, five years later, we live with some of the consequences of those two weeks in 2001. I'm much more careful to keep an eye on my own blood pressure, though I'm not always as healthy as I should be. My mom continues to eat a diet that includes very little sodium, and her habit has spread to our family as well. I think I have a lot more perspective on life now too. Though I don't find time to go home much, I don't mind the fact that my mom calls me almost every day — and sometimes even more frequently.
And none of us think about my youngest sister quite the same way. Without her, I might not be looking forward to my entire family coming to visit Lawrence this weekend.

MUSIC
ActionReaction 3 Is the Magic Number
___
When I heard that Jason Gleason (formerly of Further Seems Forever) had a new band with his wife, Bella, and her former Element 101 bandmate, Salvatore Claravino, I was really excited. After all, Gleason's work on Further Seems Foreer's How To Start A Fire still blows me away.
ActionReaction features Gleason's powerful emotional vocals backed by a variety of music. From the dance feel of "March On" to the '90s feel of "Can You Hear The Sun?" to the electronica vibe of"The 21 Gun Salute," 3 Is The Magic Number manages to dabble in just a little bit of everything.
The album has a few really strong songs including the opener, "Sinner's Algebra," the powerful "Contagious" and the soothing closer, "Spark The Sun." Though more listenable than any music Hilary Duff has ever made, the album slips into some corny moments including "Have
A Cocktail, "a title that I figured only 311 would ever try to use.
So, like Adam Sandler's movie career, it has some good moments and some not so
good ones, but rest assured, 3 Is The Magic Number is definitely more enjoyable than watching "50 First Dates."
ActionReaction will be
playing at the Granada on Oct. 6.

GAMES
XBox 360 Dead Rising
The premise of "Dead Rising" is simple enough: you're trapped in a zombie-filled mall and forced to scavenge for weapons among the many stores. Unsurprisingly, that is the game's strong point — rekilling thousands of the undead with chainsaws, katasan, soccer balls, lead pipes, sledgehammers, garden shears, bowling balls, golf clubs, paint cans, park benches and more, which is satisfying and at times hilarious.
Unfortunately, the "Dawn of the Dead" inspired carnage is hampered by a flawed save system, stupid teammate A.l., incredibly cheap boss battles
and a deadline-based story mode that screws you more often than the KU parking department.
If slaughtering hordes of zombies with just about anything you can think of sounds appealing, then "Dead Rising" is your game. But if you like a little substance with your zombie-killing,then you're better off playing through Capcom's excellent "Resident Evil 4" again for the zillion time.

WEB SITE MAKEOVER INVADES STUDENTS'RIGHT TO PRIVACY
It's been called Stalkerbook, people have claimed it's part of a government conspiracy and some even go so far as to call it the first step toward Big Brother — the idea of constant surveillance.
BY MARK VIERTHALER
No matter what you call it, Facebook is now in hot water with almost 1/16th of its online community. The networking site recently unveiled the "News Feed" feature.
The feature created a drop down
menu on a users main profile, detailing their past actions including whose wall they've written on, relationship status changes and what parties they are planning on attending.
Ben Park, a student at Northwestern University, created the "Students against Facebook News Feed (Official Petition to Facebook)" to actively protest the update, which he said was "too-creepy" and "too stalker-esque."
The group has had an immediate following. The group had 620,714 members as of 2:30 p.m. Thursday,
with approximately 1,500 users joining every two minutes. More than 500 University of Kansas users have joined the group.
The issue has polarized users of the online social networking service, which has become the online equivalent of a student commons room since its February 2004 debut. A quick search of "Against Facebook News feed" on the Web site reveals more than 500 groups either protesting or promoting the feature.
Privacy is the biggest concern
raised both in the largest group and across campus.
Andrew Algren, Lawrence junior, said he joined the protest group because the "News Feed" had gone one step too far.
"It ites like we're constantly being monitored," Algren said. "I could see people getting stalked on their Facebook profiles. It makes it easy to see everything the person is doing right up front."
Saner Adra, Wichita senior, said it was creepy that anybody could click
on their profile and see what they'd been up to. "It just seems privacy is going in the wrong direction," Adra said. "There's no point to the feature other than stalking."
Others think the feature is simply unnecessary. Phil Adam, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said it was frustrating because people didn't have to work to find the information anymore.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded to the group in an open post.
"And we agree, stalking isn't cool."
Zuckerberg said in the post. "But being able to know what's going on in your friend's lives is."
Zuckerberg said administration was looking at the problems, but he was confident the update was for the best. Calls to the Facebook office were not returned by press time.

5-year tuition hikes outpace inflation rate in Kansas
BY DAVID LINHARDT
To continue at the University of Kansas, Suzette Runyon had to take out a $2,000 loan from the Kansas University Endowment Association this semester. She had exhausted all her options for federal aid and had borrowed another $2,000 from the association last year.
Runyon, Lyndon senior, also took a job as a desk attendant at Corbin Hall this semester for the extra pay. She said her sister chose to drop out because she couldn't afford tuition and room and board.
Tuition increases that KU students experienced over the last four years have vastly outpaced the rate of inflation in Kansas.
To help students afford tuition, the University has proposed a four-year fixed-rate tuition plan next year. Eakin said an increase of 5 to 7 percent was factored into the tuition bill freshmen would receive next year.
The increases, which the Board of Regents votes on each year, are part of a five-year tuition enhancement plan University administrators and Student Senate collaborated on several years ago.
Inflation figures for the state have hovered between 1.7 percent to about 4.2 percent since 2001, according to the Kansas Department of Revenue.

Pet owners deal with surprises, rewards
PETS
Amanda Bearly, Kansas City, Mo., senior is one of many KU students who sacrifice cheaper rent for the comfort of living with a pet. In order to facilitate life with her 10-week-old beagle, Baxter, Bearly paid a $200 safety deposit and a nonrefundable $200 pet fee in addition to her share of $730 monthly rent on a two-bedroom apartment, which she shares with a roommate.

Amanda Bearly enjoys her time with her 10-week-old beagle, Baxter.
After some minor repairs inside
The Overland Park senior, received Baxter for her 21st birthday. While she enjoys the perks of a welcoming and wagging tail, she also realizes the potential problems that lay ahead.
"He's a little monster." Bearly said. "He's in the biting stage and started chewing my house's baseboards."
Although he admits to getting Tobi while living in a house that didn't allow pets, he managed to keep the dog secret from his landlord for several months.
Many University of Kansas students are finding out that the hardships associated with owning a dog often outweigh the moments of happiness they spend with their furry friends.
Midge Grinstead, executive director at the Lawrence Humane Society, said that college students often bought pets for the wrong reasons.
"They think they're just cute and adorable," she said. "But god, it's like having a baby."
Grinstead expects an average of 50 dogs to be handed over to the shelter from frustrated student-pet owners each semester. Most claim to have been unaware of the responsibilities of their investment.
Damage to houses and the task of cleaning are often the greatest challenges for students with pets. D.J. Webb, Olathe senior, has struggled to keep his basset hound, Tobi, under his roof since he first moved off-campus.
"Living at home with three dogs, I wanted one of my own when I got my place." Webb said.

SAFETY
Group ranks Kansas fifth on list
Recent fire-related fatalities land state high on national scale
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The national non-profit organization, dedicated to reducing the number of fire fatalities in student housing, examined the number of fires that occurred in universities across the country between Jan. 2000 and July 2006 and released an evaluation on its findings.
The Center for Campus Fire Safety ranked the state of Kansas fifth in the nation for the number of campus fire fatalities at all state universities.
The center identified 89 fire-relat
ed deaths nationwide that occurred in student housing off campuses, five of which were in Kansas.
During the academic year 2005-06, the center identified one fatality in an off-campus fire at the University of Kansas.
Since the year 2000, about 80 percent of fire fatalities occurred in off-campus housing. The center reported the common factors in a number of the fires included lack of automatic fire sprinklers, missing or disabled smoke alarms and alcohol consumption.
As one way to increase awareness and decrease the number of
deaths. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Jack Alexander, state fire marshal, declared September as Campus Fire Safety Month. The State Fire Marshal Fire Prevention Division will encourage cities and towns across the county to provide fire-safety educational programs to students throughout the month.
Off-campus housing is also a main concern for Karl McNorton, Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal. He said he wanted to make people aware of safety measures such as checking the smoke detector; and having an escape plan to get out of a building.

fire safety tips
The Office of the Kansas State Fire Marshal published a college checklist to increase knowledge about fire safety and prevention. The tips are for the University Student Housing administrators and students.
Make sure the dormitory room has smoke alarms.
Learn to properly use and maintain heating and cooking appliances.
the smoke alarms and fire alarm system have been tested by staff.
Regularly inspect rooms and buildings for fire hazards. Ask your local fire department for assistance.
» Inspect exit doors and windows and make sure they are working properly.
> Fire drills should be conducted monthly for each building to assure you know what to do in case of a fire.
状
> Do not overload electrical outlets and make sure extension cords are used properly.

Speeder destroys camera, gets 4-month sentence
MANCHESTER, England — His driving was swift, but his thinking wasn't.
A 28-year-old man who blew up a speed-trap camera was sentenced to prison for four months on Wednesday.
Craig Moore, 28, from Doncaster, said he had seen a flash of light from the camera, indicating that it had detected him speeding on Aug. 14, 2005.
He claimed he feared his driver's license would be suspended, making him unable to work to support his family.
So, he drove back to the site and employed materials that he uses in his work as a welder to melt the
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Groundkeepers at Forest Hill Cemetery thought it was kids who were stealing dozens of American flags. That is, until one found a giant squirrel's nest.
"The defendant accepts that he has created a mountain out of a molehill by behaving stupidly. He finds himself in a great deal of trouble rather than the little deal of trouble he would have been in" said defense lawyer Andrew Bailey.
They were ripped and serving as the foundation of a giant squirrel nest.

camera's metal body in an explosive fire.
"I was mowing, looked up out into the distance, and something caught my eye," said Dave Ender, a groundskeeper employed by the Eau Claire Parks and Recreation Department.
Officials confirmed that the camera Moore sped past was only to monitor traffic patterns and was designed to deter speeders, not catch them. It flashed only as a warning.
In fact, he would have been in no trouble.
That backfired because images of his speeding survived the explosion, as did images of him returning to attack the camera. He pleaded guilty to a charge of damaging property.
He drove his riding lawnmower to a nearby street intersection and looked up a tree.

Police use macadamia nuts as decoy in drug bust
MOBILE, Ala. — Police have found a new use for macadamia nuts: undercover work.
"Those little rascals, they're just amazing," he said.
Officers used chopped macadamia nuts to resemble rocks of crack cocaine during a drug sting Friday and Saturday on a street corner near downtown that has been the subject of repeated complaints about illegal drug activity.
As part of the sting, police arrested six people on charges of distribution of a controlled substance. Police seized crack cocaine, prescription pain medication, and more than $4,000 in cash at one location, Johnson said.
The people caught buying fake crack were charged with a misdemeanor: attempting to possess a controlled substance.
on the record
A University of Kansas employ ee reported the theft of a 3-foot by 5-foot exercise mat from just inside the main entrance of the Student Recreation and Fitness Center. The incident occurred between Sept. 3 and Sept. 6.
A KU student reported criminal damage to a car parked near Hashinger Hall. Someone purposefully rammed the vehicle to create more space to park in the lot. Damage was estimated at $1,000.
on campus
A KU student reported the theft of a yellow parking permit from the windshield of a car. The driver's side window had been left half-way rolled down. The incident occurred between Sept. 1 and Sept. 4.
The Public Safety Office will hold an open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today in its new facility at 1501 Crestline Drive.
Couple charged with first-degree murder
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An Independence couple already accused in the videotaped sexual torture and death of a woman in Jackson County were charged Thursday with murdering another rape victim in a neighboring county.
Richard D. Davis, 42, and Dena D. Riley, 40, are charged in Clay County with one count each of first-degree murder in the April 9 suffocation of Michelle Ricci, 36. Her charred, skeletal remains were found May 27 in rural Clay County, just north of Independence.
Riley and Davis remain jailed in Jackson County on charges of murder, rape, kidnap and sexual assault in the May death of Marsha Spicer, 41, as well as the sexual attack on Ricci.
Authorities have said videotapes showing the defendants committing brutal sex acts on the two women — Spicer on May 14, Ricci on April 8 — turned up in the couple's Independence apartment.
Ricci's death came to light after Davis and Riley were captured May 25 in southwest Missouri and brought back to the Kansas City area to be charged in Spicer's death. Both defendants led investigators to Ricci's remains.

TV screens to list campus events
Flat monitors allow student groups free advertising space
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Students looking for information about campus activities need only to look above their heads in some of the University's most popular areas.
Flat-screen monitors display campus information have been installed in the Kansas Union, The Underground and the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
"The main purpose is to get messages out about things going on in the Union," said Mike Reid, director of marketing services for Kansas Memorial Unions.
Reid said the monitors were purchased this summer and had been operational in the Union for about two months.
Three were placed in the Union, one in The Underground and one in the recreation center at a cost of $40,000.
The monitors display upcoming
activities taking place in the Union. Student Union Activities events and weather information contained in a ticker running across the bottom of the screen.
Chris Blackstone, communications director for Student Senate, said student groups would also have access to free advertising on the monitors.
Student groups must be registered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center and be open to all students.
Blackstone said the only advertising allowed on the monitors would be announcements for events and activities by student groups. Regular weekly meetings would not be placed on the monitor system.
Liz Cohen, Leawood junior and president of KU Hilkel, said the organization had already taken advantage of the free advertising space provided to them in the newspaper.
Cohen said that having advertisements for student groups in the Union
would be good because it was a place where people gathered to hang out, and the advertisements would have a high visibility to students.
"It's just one more thing to get your name out here." Cohen said.
In the future, Reid wanted to add monitors to other campus buildings such as Budig and Fraser halls. Reid said he also wanted to expand the service to Strong Hall.
The monitor on the third floor of the Kansas Union has already been vandalized. Security cameras caught two men cutting wires on the monitor in an attempt to steal it. When the man discovered the monitor was wired and locked to the wall, they gave up, leaving an expensive repair job.

Pet owner appeals ordinance Any violent behavior requires status as dangerous dog
During the Aug. 29 Lawrence City Commission meeting, Gragg appealed to the city commission to review the ordinance. She said animal control does not do enough
When Kathy Gragg decided to adopt her dog, Luna, the animal's court-deemed dangerous-dog status didn't affect her decision.
While some cities, including Overland Park and Dodge City, ban specific breeds of dogs, both Lawrence and Douglas County target dogs on an individual basis. This means students in possession of a dog that has been reported for attacking a human or another animal are liable for their pet's action.
Now, after her dog escaped and allegedly attempted to attack neighbors, Gragg is advocating to save her dog's life by having the city review its dangerous-dog ordinance.
to test each dog to make sure they are a significant threat to the public. She added that her dog did not bite anyone after her escape.
The Lawrence Humane Society reported a 52 percent decline in dog attacks over the past fiscal year. Neglect cases are also down 40 percent.
Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highbergier said there was no need to revise the ordinance. He said the procedures seem
to be sound, but Gragg does have the right to appeal if she wishes to continue her complaint.

Concert highlights school's art, musical skills

The Marching Jayhawks will line the balconies, stage and aisles to conclude the concert. Steve Hedden, dean of Fine Arts, said that the experience would be emotional and that the audience would be surrounded by sound.
A fundraising reception will take place after the concert in the Seymour Gallery of the Lied Center. The reception's proceeds will go to the school's Student Opportunity Fund, which provides funds for students to travel and exhibit their work. Hedden said that the fund allowed nearly 40 students to travel nationally and internationally last year.

Amazon sells downloads
BY ELIZABETH M. GILLESPIE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Amazon.com launched a video download service Thursday, ending months of speculation that the Internet retailer would be getting into the online TV and movie business.
The service, dubbed Amazon Unbox, will offer thousands of television shows, movies and other videos from more than 30 studios and networks, the company said in a statement.
TV shows will cost $1.99 per episode, and most movies will go for $7.99 to $14.99; movies can also be rented for $3.99.
Amazon Unbox will offer shows from CBS, Fox, MTV,Nickelodeon, PBS, BBC, A&E, Discovery Channel, Comedy Central and The History Channel, among others.
NBC and ABC were noticeably absent on the list of participating networks.
Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Lionsgate and MGM are among the major movie studios that have signed with Amazon. com Inc.
Walt Disney Pictures, whose biggest shareholder is Apple Computer Inc. CEO Steve Jobs, has not signed on. Amazon's service comes just days ahead of the expected launch of a movie download service at Apple's iTunes Music Store.
Hollywood studios already sell films through other online services, such as Movielink, CinemaNow and Guba, but they haven't yet attracted a huge followin
Details of the scope of Apple's expected offerings are unclear.

Associate dean adjusts to new position
BY KIM LYNCH
PROFILE
Danny Anderson, new associate dean of interdisciplinary and area studies of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has had to adjust to more than just a new office.
"It was the first time in my entire professional life where I had been in a work environment where English is the language that we speak all day long," Anderson said of his new position.
Anderson studied at the University of Kansas as a graduate and worked in the department of Spanish and Portuguese for nearly 20 years. Going to an environment where English is the primary language spoken has taken some getting used to, he said.
"It struck me as really odd that I've lived in the United States most of my life and yet all of my professional
Anderson has a long history with the University. From 1980 to 1985, he was a graduate student in Spanish. Then he went to the University of Texas at Austin and served as a faculty member from 1985 to 1988 in Spanish and Portuguese. He came back to the University in 1988 and has been part of the Spanish and Portuguese faculty ever since.

Events to discuss security, democracy
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
A discussion of America's surveillance efforts and a recap of recent Supreme Court cases highlight this year's September Project events.
The events were designed to allow University of Kansas students and the Lawrence community to reflect on Sept. 11 and discuss America's healing process.
Shannon Portillo, Shawnee doctoral student and a member of the September Project committee, said the project started in Washington, D.C., four years ago to "commemorate 9/11 by talking about democracy, patriotism and community." The event began at the University in 2003 and will take place at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., this year, in addition to 417 locations around the world.
Maria Butler, community relations coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library, said she anticipated that the session on surveillance would spike
the interest of students and faculty.
"Security versus freedom is a very big question right now," Butler said. "Students should be concerned that the balance has shifted and will continue to shift. It is up for citizens to stop that or live with it; it is up for everyone to decide."
Butler helped coordinate the event with KU students. Butler said the library wanted to get involved with the project to bolster greater understanding and civic engagement.
"The September Project topics are of crucial interest to people right now," Butler said.
Portillo said she wanted the project to cause the campus community to be more proactive in their recognition of different perspectives and cultures.

Feds wasting time,money by spying on KU students
First, some background: In August 2005, the FCC expanded the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to include Internet communications in addition to telephone wiretaps.
A recent ruling by the Federal Communications Commission serves as reminder that the government will continue to fight the war on terror at the most unlikely of fronts: the University of Kansas.
In fall 2005, The University Daily Kansan reported that the University was one out of hundreds of universities whose computer systems the FCC ordered upgraded. The ruling, which universities must comply with by May 14, 2007, would allow law enforcement to monitor communication over the Internet with greater ease.
Federal investigative agencies that obtained a court order would be capable of effortlessly monitoring communications of students and faculty.
KU officials told the Kansan that the University already complied with court orders for access and that the mandate would be a
waste of money and could result in cuts in programs and resources for KU students.
GREAT MUSIC
In July 2006, the FCC issued a final ruling stating private networks would not be subject to the requirements of the act, Denise Stephens, vice provost for Information Services and chief information officer for the Lawrence campus, said in an email. So the University will not have to pay millions to upgrade its private network, she said.
However, the University along with several other Kansas universities will have to share in the costs of upgrading its regional network, which it relies on to connect to the Internet, she said.
We condemn the FCC's mandate. Neither students nor taxpayers should have to pay a cent for the government's spy games, especially on University property.
Meanwhile, the government will persist in its bid to make you pay for the resources it may use to spy on your Internet activities.

NCAA should let fathers take time off for kids
Fred Davis" "NCAA can't deny joy of being a father" (8/30) hit the nail on the head when pointing out the NCAA's Title IX hypocrisy. In an effort to appear "woman-friendly," the NCAA's policy does not set a strong example of asking its student-athletes to take responsibility for their lives. How tragic it is that the NCAA only allows its female student-athletes to participate in raising their children and excludes males from the child-rais
ing responsibility and experience.
According to the NCAA Web site, the NCAA's core values express a "belfin in and commitment to the collegiate model of athletics in which students participate as an avocation, balancing their academic, social and athletics experiences." If the NCAA acknowledges "social" experiences as a key part of a student athlete's college life, why not acknowledge responsibility? After all, having a child is not a tempo-
rarv experience.
In a world with increasingly absent fathers and the knowledge we have about the sad effects on a child in a fatherless home, I commend Eric Butler for his commitment to his child. Butler is a man wanting to take part in his child's life. Shame on the NCAA for its one-sided policies.

COMMENTARY
College Pro doesn't live up to its promises
College students are the targets of countless scams and schemes, but perhaps the most sketchy and costly proposition comes from a fairly reputable corporation: College Pro Painters.
Each year, College Pro hires 600 franchise managers — all college students — to run house-painting businesses across 38 U.S. states and seven Canadian provinces.
The company's marketing department tells homeowners to book painting jobs with College Pro so they can benefit college students in the area.
Several students at the University are among those who bite at the valuable experience and huge chunks of cash that College Pro dangle in front of students' faces.
But College Pro ripped an entire summer away from Kevin Simpson, Olathe sophomore, and left him the thousands of dollars in debt. I saw it happen this summer, because I worked for Simpson's franchise in south Overland Park.
While recruiting Simpson, College Pro told him he would
BY MATT ERICKSON
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
probably make at least $13,000 during a summer as a franchise manager.
Instead, Simpson, the broke college student, ended up $4,400 in debt, while College Pro, the multi-million-dollar corporation, made $11,000 in royalties.
This was after Simpson spent almost all of his weekends during the spring semester marketing and worked as much as 60 hours a week during the summer.
College Pro's Web site does say there is a risk involved with managing a franchise. However, it says College Pro provides people who will "work closely throughout the year to deal with any problems that may appear."
Simpson soon learned that this was hardly true in his case. His
"training" involved three days in a classroom spent watching PowerPoint presentations, followed by one day of painting.
I was a job site manager for Simpson, heading one of his painting crews. College Pro gave me a few days of ineffective, disorganized training.
My instructions on my first house were simple: Paint the house, with little to no supervision or help, while training two painters with no previous experience, without messing anything up. And stay under budget.
Of course, a semi-experienced painter and two people who had never held a roller before could not meet a time budget designed for professional painters. We weren't even close.
College Pro tells franchisees to pay workers according to the time budgets set for each house — not the number of hours they actually work. However, because Simpson cared about his workers, he decided to pay us for the extra time.
Simpson already had to pay a sizable royalty to College Pro, so this extra labor cost gobbled up his profit and caused him to lose money on the house.
This situation repeated itself for the rest of the summer. We could not beat budgets, no matter how hard we worked.
College Pro did virtually nothing to help Simpson out. He received no concrete advice or hands-on help.
Near the end of the summer. Simpson's general manager told him he could work for the rest of the summer without paying royalties.
ny this time, however, Simpson had little time to make money back. His general manager didn't help when he took workers that Simpson had worked to recruit and gave them to another Johnson County franchise.
A job site manager for this fran chise told me his franchisee had a profitable summer. However, he said several painting crews quit, largely because of low pay.
So, to be clear: Pay poor wages
and College Pro will take others' workers to replace yours, but pay respectable wages and College Pro will take your workers and leave you helpless. Seems fair.
College Pro put Simpson in a position where he had to choose whether to cheat homeowners, pay terrible wages or take a financial hit himself. Being an honorable person, he chose the last option.
Maybe nothing College Pro did was illegal. But much of what College Pro did was unfair, careless and downright coldhearted.
So, to anyone considering a franchise manager position with College Pro Painters, here's something College Pro tends to gloss over: You can work as hard as you can and still lose thousands of dollars.
Perhaps that's College Pro's fault, or perhaps thats just the way the business world works. Either way, good luck.

By Gandhi's standards, Kansas has recently displayed true greatness and moral progress with the reform of its animal cruelty laws.
COMMENTARY
The new law contains several exceptions concerning the killing of animals for authorized hunting, research experiments, approved veterinary practices and the slaughtering of farm animals for food. I agree that it is necessary to have these exceptions; it is necessary to draw the line somewhere.

The new law, called "Scruffy's Law" in honor of a terrier beaten and burned to death in 1997, entails penalties of at least 30 days in jail and a fine of $500. Those found guilty will also have to complete a mandatory psychological evaluation and an anger management program.

Yet that cat, who now proudly carries the name Leo the Lion-Hearted and struts around the Animal Care ER in Salina, could not be more loving. For Leo, and for all the countless others like him, I commend this law.
Residents of Douglas County now have the opportunity to see the reform in action. A Lawrence man faces felony charges for killing his and his roommate's pet rabbit, Melvin. Austin Newport reportedly put the rabbit in a plastic bag and tried to break its neck on July 27. Newport, according to the police report, said he thought he could no longer care for the rabbit and intended to eat it.
I have seen the effects of animal abuse firsthand. I once saw a cat that had been doused with lighter fluid and set on fire, then had developed horrific bacterial wounds. I was not able to discern if it was, indeed, a cat.

FAMILY WEEKEND
Relatives pour into Lawrence to see students, enjoy activities
BY BEN SMITH
Family Weekend, the annual event that invites students and their families to experience traditions of the University of Kansas and interact with the campus community, begins tonight and lasts through Saturday.
The event, which first occurred in 1932, features a variety of activities such as free cosmic bowling and movies, live entertainment, departmental open houses and access to sporting events on campus.
Margey Frederick, director of special events and visitor services, said Family Weekend was geared toward students who normally wouldn't have the opportunity to be with their families.
During freshman new student orientation, information was handed out about the event, but Frederick said it's not intended just for freshman and new students. Two years ago special events and
visitor services began mailing postcards to the families of sophomores, juniors and seniors to ensure more people found out about the event. This year they have sent out about 13,000 postcards.
Frederick said that having the event so soon after Labor Day was a result of scheduling complications having to work hand-in-hand with the football season. Usually it is held later in the semester after students have been away from home for a while, she said.
"The football game would be the biggest draw of the weekend," Frederick said. "The more you have going on, the more people are interested in coming to visit the campus."
Kathy Talbot, adviser for Student Union Activities, said they were pleased to be presenting comedian and magician Brian Brushwood, who has appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno. He will be performing his "Bizarre Magic" show
Saturday afternoon at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
The event also coincides with Band Day, the KU tradition that invites high school bands from across the state to come to Lawrence and march with the Marching Jayhawks.
Tom Stidham, associate director of bands, said that 35 bands would be performing during halftime of Saturday's football game against Louisiana-Monroe.
Stidham said he thought that the two events were a wonderful opportunity for high school students to get a bit of "Jayhawk flavor" and for visiting families to enjoy the spectacle of 1,000 students out on the field at halftime on gameday.

FIRE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
He said the renters and landlords should work together to make these things happen.
Candles, cooking and overuse of extension cords are the prime igniters for house fires, McNorton said.
The University has worked to improve fire safety by installing sprinkler systems in residence halls during the past five years, McNorton said.
Eric Grospitch, interim executive assistant to the director of Student
Housing, said McCollum, GSP-Corbin and Oliver halls did not have sprinkler systems yet. Instead of installing them now, he said it was best to wait until the building could be renovated, which is part of the master plan Student Housing is working on.
Grospitch said the fire alarm systems are state-of-the-art as far as immediate response to public safety.
Grospitch said accidents in residence halls across the nation often occur because people didn't leave during a fire alarm.
Grospitch said the most common reason a fire alarm goes off in the University residence halls was from microwave cooking.
"In some ways sprinklers are more property protection than people protection," he said.

TUITION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
The fixed-rate plan will do little to ease financial pain for students who paid tuition between 2002 and 2006 through the five-year tuition enhancement plan.
Revenue from KU tuition jumped from $112 million in 2002 to more than $160 million in 2005, an increase of about 42 percent, according to financial documents from Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Overall, tuition at the University has risen 10 to 17 percent each year since 2002.
KU administrators said that tuition was only a minor portion of the average student's bills each year, and that the University was eager to keep tuition affordable.

"We're here to offer some planning and stability," said Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance. "You have to
The money the University receives from the state has not significantly increased for years, Eakin said.
In 2005, the University received $240 million, a 3 percent increase from the year before. Some money taken in during the five-year tuition enhancement finances scholarships and grants, including the KU Tuition Grant.
Tuition prices have increased at universities across the country. At the same time, the College Board reported a dramatic increase in the amount of non-federal student loans taken out from 2001 to 2006. The College Board is a non-profit organization that collects data on financial aid and tuition costs.
Students and parents also borrowed $13.8 billion from banks
and credit unions in 2004-05, up more than 153 percent from $5.4 billion in 2001-02, according to the organization.
The University benefited from a 2001 change in the way state universities are allowed to handle tuition revenue, Eakin said.
The University now can collect and allocate tuition revenue as needed, rather than simply passing tuition checks onto state general funds that would be disbursed later.
KU tuition ranks in the middle of Big 12 schools, according to the Columbia Missouri.

Kansas sets ticket record as game popularity grows

Jake Sharp, freshman running back, runs the ball past Northwestern State's Gary Riggs Sept. 2. The team has seen popularity and attendance increase in recent seasons.
Four years ago, Mark Mangino wondered whether people even knew when his football team played.
On the mile-long bus ride from the team's offices at Allen Fieldhouse to Memorial Stadium on gameday, the Kansas football coach often noticed just a sparse crowd of tailgaters surrounding the stadium.
"Our first couple of years here, people would be walking down the street and would wonder if something was going on in the stadium," Mangino said.
How things have changed in just a few short seasons.
Now, that bus ride that used to take less than five minutes takes much longer. As he rode on the team's bus with offensive players to Saturday's game, Mangino couldn'
help noticing the changes in the gameday atmosphere.
gameday and after school. Thousands of fans crowded the tightly packed areas surrounding Campanile Hill. Families grilling pregame meals, father-son football games and jayhawk flags waving high above makeshift tents now are familiar sights on Saturday afternoons in Lawrence.
"That is a 180-degree turn from our first couple seasons," Mangino said.
Suddenly, Kansas football games are an event.
Fueled by the gradual improvement of the program over the last few seasons, Kansas set an all-time season ticket record, selling more than 29,000 tickets for all seven home games. Of those tickets sold, nearly 8,000 belong to students.

Offensive changes
After a sluggish start to last week's game, Kansas coach Mark Mangino vowed not to be as conservative with his team's offense against Louisiana-Monroe. Redshirt-freshman quarterback Kerry Meier started last week's game handing off the ball to running back Jon Cornish on the team's first possession and threw two incomplements and took a sack on the second series. Despite the slow start, Mangino said the offense wouldn't be dulled down because of Meier's inexperience.
"We're not going to have a vanilla offense just because of Kerry" Mangino said.
He added that Meier has already run all of the plays in his playbook at some point during preseason training camp.
No changes made to special teams
Despite last week's struggles on special teams, Mangino said there would be no changes to the roster. Senior Zack Hood will retain his spot as long snapper for field goals and point-after attempts and redshirt-freshman Kayl Anderson will continue long snapping duties for the punt team.
"His first one wasn't great." Mangino said of Anderson's snap to punter Kyle Tucker. "We've got a lot of confidence in him, he's very good at snapping the ball."
Whitaker ailing
Senior left guard Bob Whitaker, who has battled knee problems for most of his career, has had his playing time scale back. While he still remains the starter, Mangino said he's given Whitaker a few series off each game to help keep Whitaker available.
"Bob's a tough customer," Mangino said. "He's been through a lot here, health-wise, and he just keeps going every day."
Whitaker said he's able to continue to make the moves he needs to on the field, but he occasionally needs to take time off to rest his alling knees. The Mt. Lebanon, Pa., native was named to the preseason All-Big 12 Conference Second team.
Six Jayhawks in NFL
The National Football League opened its season Thursday night and six former Jayhawks are on active rosters.

Big hitters lead Jayhawks to sweep Kansas defeats No.16 BYU to open the Jayhawk Invitational
BY DREW DAVISON
Kansas swept No. 16 Brigham Young on Thursday night in the ideal game to begin one of the toughest stretches of the season.

The Jayhawks defeated the Cougars 30-26, 30-24 and 30-23 at the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. It was the first game of the Jayhawk

Brittany Williams, freshman middle blocker, had some notable plays as well.
In game two, she finished the match with a kill.
Williams said she needed to make up for her kill attempt earlier in the match when she was "totally stuffed."
In the final match, she ended the longest volley of the match with a teardrop kill, giving the Jayhawks a 23-16 lead.

Denver receiver optimistic Broncos' Rod Smith cares about team more than his upcoming record

BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Denver Broncos wide receiver Rod Smith quickly doused any discussion about the fact he's three catches away from 800 for his career.

With three more catches, though, Smith can become the 15th play-
In Smith's opinion, the Broncos receiving corps this season is going to be electric.

With 10,877 career receiving yards, Smith is 16th on the all-time yardage list. Jerry Rice heads the category with 22,895 yards. He's also 15th all-time in catches, again trailing Rice (1,549).
As for the Broncos' major offer in NFL history to reach the 800-catch milestone and the first undrafted player to do so.
Smith is already the undisputed receptions leader among undrafted players. The former Division II Missouri Southern University star has 797 catches, which is 217 ahead of Wayne Chrebet (1995-2005).

Although the Broncos made it to the AFC Championship game last season, Smith thinks this team can scale even greater heights.
"Somehow we have a better football team than we had last year and we had a pretty good team last year," Smith said. "A lot of guys are hungry."
"You see guys around here smiling a lot. (These) guys are ready to get back on the field and go at it again."

Top five scorers chosen for roster
BY JOSH LANDAU
The women's golf team will travel to Colorado Springs on Saturday for its first tournament of the season.
The five-member roster was set in four qualifying rounds. The top five scores were put on the traveling team roster. This type of system helps prepare golfers for the upcoming tournament.
"Qualifying is like a mini-tournament in itself," said coach Erin O'Neil. "It's a way to get ready for actual tournaments."
The course, which is at Ptarmigan Country Club, is a good season opener, said Annie Giangrosso, junior.
The team roster includes returning players Amanda Costner, senior, and Giangrosso, along with three freshmen: Emily Powers, Camilla Svennson and Meghan Gockel. Jill Womble will also travel with the team as an individual competitor.
The team will keep this roster through September until it faces another qualifier in October for the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational, its only home tournament of the season.
"I think it's a great squad," Giangrosso said. "We all are coming off great summers, and I think we could finish in the top three or

four."
The tournament host Colorado State has brought teams from all around the country, including Cal Berkeley, Baylor, San Jose State and Fresno State.
"I've been taking care of things like my clothes and homework early so I can spend the weekend just focusing on golf" Svensson said.
Focus is one of the areas that the team has worked to improve.

Courtney Wilson, St. Louis junior and president of the women's lacrosse team, makes a catch during lacrosse practice Wednesday evening at Shenk Sports Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets. Wilson started playing lacrosse after missing rush weaker for she to shop around for another extracurricular activity. Lacrosse was the closest sport to field hockey, which she used to play, that the University offered.
Players find friends in lacrosse Women pass up sorority life for athletic camaraderie
Courtney Wilson had every intention of joining the Greek community when she arrived to the University of Kansas.
Though she's wearing the same designer sunglasses and skirts as some of her Greek friends, Wilson, St. Louis junior, has chosen to strut hers on the lacrosse field in addition to the campus hills.
For some women, the lacrosse club has provided a social alternative to the greek community.
Through the lacrosse team, Wilson, the team president, found the friendships she originally intended to get by joining a sorority. She said she enjoyed not having the responsibilities of weekly chapter meetings, and the other commitments that come with being a part of a chapter. With lacrosse, she has practice and travel commitments, but she enjoys getting outside during the week after time indoors for classes.
sion that I could still have joined."
"Joining a house is something I'm glad I didn't do now," she said. "I've found other things, like lacrosse, that have worked out great."
By the time the open recruitment process had begun, she had decided to pursue lacrosse for her extracurricular activity.
Wilson planned to join formal fall recruitment when she arrived at the University. She hadn't been sent the recruitment paperwork before arriving at school like she had requested, and was told a few days into the process that she was too late to join.
But Lindsey Leonard, Pittsburgh sophomore and member of the women's lacrosse team, joined a chapter last year. After dropping the fall formal rush in the second round because she didn't like her available choices, Leonard joined Alpha Delta Pi, 1600 Oxford Road, during open recruitment.
"I knew several older girls involved with the process," she said. "And I was never under the impres-
"I came to KU wanting to join a house and wasn't planning on playing sports," Leonard said.
But it's on the playing field that Leonard found her home at the University, rather than with her sisters at Alpha Delta Pi. By the end of the school year, Leonard had quit the chapter and was pursuing lacrosse.
"Once I joined the house, I wanted that automatic friendship thing." Leonard said. "But I realized these weren't the girls. With lacrosse, I have a relationship much closer than in the house."
Jason Krone, associate director of recreation services, said the team fit nicely into the club sports program by providing a connection to members on campus in both an athletic and social manner.
"They're kind of a tight-knit group" he said. "They are still competitive and have the social aspect as well."
Wilson and Leonard aren't the only members of the team who found lasting social relationships
with teammates.
Celie Wall, Greensboro, N.C., sophomore; went through the first few days of this year's fall formal recruitment process before walking away.
"Recruitment just seemed unnecessarily long," Wall said. "That's the real reason I walked away."
The time commitment of an active member of the greek community can be rather consuming, depending on a woman's involvement within her house.
Laura Bauer, program director of fraternity and sorority life, said active members were expected to invest two to five hours a week into their chapters, in addition to keeping study-hour logs on a weekly basis. Both Wilson and Wall would have also been expected to attend new-member education meetings weekly if they had joined.
The women's lacrosse club practices three days a week in the fall and save several weekends for travel and games. Practices average five to six hours per week.
With the fall season underway, all three women are excited to see how the year shapes up with many new freshmen faces and personalities joining the team.
Wilson — sunglasses and all

Bengals return to fight Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If Marvin Lewis is mad at the Kansas City Chiefs, he's not letting on. Leave that to Rudi Johnson.
Still fresh in the mind of Cincinnati's star running back are bitter memories of KC holding a 30-3 lead in the final three minutes but still chucking passes into the end zone, and hitting one.
"It left a bad taste in our mouth," said Johnson. "Nobody's forgotten that game."
Now eight months later and buoyed by Carson Palmer's remarkable recovery from reconstructive knee surgery, the Bengals will open the season Sunday in the very stadium and against the very team that mailed them 37-3 in last year's regular-season finale.
The Chiefs had already been shut out of the playoffs because of Pittsburgh's victory that day over Detroit. But in Dick Vermeil's final game as head coach, they wanted to see Trent Green get 4,000 yards passing and Larry Johnson erase the team rushing record.
So they kept pouring on the fire and, at the Bengals' expense, both did. Green's 4,014 yards made him the fourth quarterback in NFL history to post three consecutive 4,000-yard seasons. Johnson had 201 yards and three TDs and a team-record 1,750 yards.
"We've had this game marked on our calendar for a year," said Johnson. "We're looking forward to going out there and putting on a great show."
Nonsense, says Lewis.
"They're a different football team coached by a different person than last year," said the Bengals coach. "We're a different team. They're a different team. This is a new season."
In Kansas City's defense, the Bengals had already wrapped up their first playoff berth since 1990 and Palmer and many other starters played only a few series.
Nevertheless, it stung.
"They scarred us for 200 yards," said defensive end Bryan Robinson. "We know what they did to us last year."
But as Chiefs defensive end jared Allen points out, Vernell has been replaced by Herm Edwards and Edwards that day was not within 1,000 miles of Kansas City.
"That has nothing to do with us" he said. "That's the coach's decision. He's the one calling plays. We're out here to win."
Palmer, injured in the first few minutes of the Bengals' playoff loss to Pittsburgh, thrilled Cincinnati's fans the way he rebounded from an injury that some felt might end his career. A perfect 4-0 preseason record, Cincinnati's first, also has fans looking forward to a second straight division title.
The Bengals, for the third straight year, also return every offensive starter. Acquisitions of massive defensive tackle Sam Adams and safety Dexter Jackson could strengthen a defense that gave up almost 400 yards a game.
Under Edwards, the Chiefs have also made a big effort to shore up a leaky defense. The offense that led the league from 2001-05 with 30,470 yards and 262 touchdowns probably will not be the same, either. Gone are several key operatives, including left tackle Willie Roaf, running back Priest Holmes and fullback Tony Richardson.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Last Saturday's announced attendance of 44,025 was the largest opening-day crowd in 12 years.
Mangino, who has traditionally greeted students in the first few rows of the student section before games, said the number of students was the first thing he noticed Saturday.
"It was packed, and it seems like it's getting bigger," Mangino said. "I've said all along that part of the college experience for students is football games on Saturday afternoons on your campus. It's all part of the college experience."
He credited the students' support as part of the reason his team was riding a seven-game home-winning streak. A victory on Saturday would tie the program record of eight straight home wins, set during the 1951 and 1952, and 1967 and 1968 seasons.
"Good crowds, if you have a couple of bad breaks, they just keep going." Mangino said. "Our fans are starting to do that now. They realize that when things aren't going right, they've got to jump in and be a factor."
Aside from the pregame atmosphere, Mangino said he'd noticed Kansas fans becoming more football-smart. Instead of begging for noise to help his defense get a key third-down stop, Kansas fans are beginning to rise to the occasion on their own.
In his first game back on the sidelines at the stadium, Bill
The crowd has certainly been a factor in a number of memorable wins in Mangino, including the 2004 victory against Kansas State and in last season's streak-busting game against Nebraska.
Whittemore, former Jayhawk quarterback and now graduate assistant coach, estimated 20,000 more fans attended Saturday's game than the number attending his first game in 2002.
"It's night and day," Whittemore said. "When we came out, thered be no one in the first 10 to 15 rows. Now, it's just amazing to see all the students there when we were warming up."
Riding just a few rows back from Mangino on the bus filled with offensive players on Saturday, freshman running back Jake Sharp made sure to take in the atmosphere on the way to his first collegiate game. The blue-clad fans crowding into the yards and parking lots surrounding the stadium, Sharp said, provide added motivation for the team.
Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschnier@kansan.com.
“On your way to the battle, you see all the fans there,” Sharp said. “It kind of reminds you why you play.”

OLYMPIC SPORTS
Runner cleared of performance-enhancing drug charges
BY BOB BAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
Marion Jones' career of triumph and suspicion is back on track. Though she probably won't run again this year, the strongest doping allegations against her are now defunct, and her sights are firmly set on next year's world championships — and the 2008 Olympics.
"She's a hell of an athlete," her coach Steve Riddick told The Associated Press on Thursday, "and I think people should just leave her alone."
Once the darling of her sport, Jones' successful fight against her first positive drug test is the latest twist in a career of extreme highs and lows.
"I would hope that now that it's over with she can relax the rest of the
year and come back and represent the country at the world championships, then go on to Beijing," Riddick said.
After competing for years under a cloud of suspicion, Jones tested positive for EPO June 23 at the U.S. track and field championships in Indianapolis, where she won the 100 meters, her 14th national title.
Jones immediately requested a "B" sample be tested. Her attorney released a statement on Wednesday that the second test was negative, a result Jones said she was "ecstatic" about.
The tests were conducted at a UCLA laboratory that routinely examines samples for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Lab director Don Catlin did not return a telephone request for comment.
Riddick said he didn't expect Jones, who turns 31 on Oct. 12, to
raced again until next season, when she'll aim for another U.S. title and a berth in the world championships in Osaka, Japan.
Arne Liungqvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committee medical commission and a member of the World Anti-Doping Association executive committee, called the reversal of the "B" sample "quite unusual."
"It's happened only a handful of times in the last 30 years I can remember, but it does happen," he said in a telephone interview with the AP. "One needs to seek an explanation from the lab. ... For the time being, we can only speculate."
In 2003, Kenyan distance runner Bernard Lagat pulled out of the 2003 world championships after news leaked that he had tested positive for EPO. He was later cleared, though, when the "B" test was negative, and
USA Track & Field, the sport's national governing body, had little to say about Jones' case.
won the national,1,500-meter title in Indianapolis this year.
Ljungqvist defended the EPO testing system.
"We respect the USADA process," spokeswoman Jill Geer said, "and when an athlete's B does not confirm the 'A' there is no doping offense. So in Marion's case, there is no doping offense."
"The science of the method as such has been validated and confirmed as absolutely safe and OK, but it's not unusual in the life of a laboratory that incidents may occur," he said. "The test does have some pitfalls as respect to the interpretation."
It remains unclear which test — the "A" or "B" — ultimately is accurate.
"We certainly know there are
situations where the A and B may not necessarily look the same," Ljunggvist said. "One doesn't know if the A is the correct analysis and the B is incorrect, or vice versa. That's the open question."
Jones' negative "B" sample has done nothing to shake USADA's faith in the testing process, general counsel Travis Tygart said.
"We have full confidence in the EPO test, we stay abreast or ahead of the science involved, and we'll continue using it going forward," he said.
Under U.S. regulations, an athlete's 'A test results are supposed to remain confidential until not only the 'B sample is tested, but a review hearing is conducted. However, IAAF rules require the provisional suspension of the athlete following an initial positive drug test, and that often leads to media leaks — especially on
high profile athletes.
Jones has been a person of interest to USADA for years. She testified to the federal grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative in San Francisco. Her boyfriend at the time, former world 100-meter record holder Tim Montgomery, also testified and later was suspended from competition for two years, although he never tested positive for a banned substance.
Montgomery announced his retirement but has resumed training and would be eligible to compete again next summer.
"I think he will," Riddick said. "He ain't training for his health."
With a mix of charm and talent, Jones was the sport's biggest personality in the late 1990s. At the Sydney Games in 2000, she became the first woman to win five Olympic track medals, three of them gold.

Former Chief wants to return Players would welcome him; management skeptical
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If John Welbourn can talk the brass into taking him back, he'll get a warm welcome from his old Kansas City teammates.
In the executive offices, however, there seems to be skepticism about a player who will have missed 10 games in two years for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
"I think John could help the team. He's obviously a gifted player and started a lot of games for us," quarterback Trent Green said Thursday. "If he comes back and is ready to play and can help the team, I think everybody would be pretty open to that."
The NFL announced Wednesday that Welbourne, who retired in June but later asked for reinstatement, had been suspended for six games.
After sitting out a four-game suspension at the beginning of last season for the same reason, Welbourn wound up starting nine games and was an important part of a 10-6 season.
The Chiefs hold his rights for the
next three years. But general manager Carl Peterson seemed lukewarm to the idea of taking him back.
"Specific to what his status will be with the Chiefs after the suspension, we'll address at that time," Peterson said.
Like just about any other team in the NFL, the Chiefs could make use of an experienced lineman.
The unexpected retirement of left tackle Willie Roaf on the eve of training camp tore another hole in their offensive line, which has long been a strength of the Chiefs.
Kyle Turley, who had been signed to compete for the right tackle spot Welbourn vacated, was quickly switched to the left side. But Turley is trying to come back from a two-year absence brought on by a back injury and no one knows whether he'll hold up through an entire season.
"John could help this team," said defensive end Jared Allen. "He's prown in the NFL that he can get the job done. Anytime you can bring a guy back and add depth to your tackle position, I think definitely it would help.
"I'd like to have him back on this team. He's a neat guy."
The NFL said Welbourn would
be eligible to return Oct. 23. His absence would actually be seven weeks because of Kansas City's bye in Week 3.
"He started nine games for us last year and he played pretty well," said left guard Brian Waters. "He helped us win some games. I would hope the door would not be closed."
Head coach Herm Edwards said he was going to defer to Peterson and owner Lamar Hunt.
"Obviously, the doors are always open for players. We'll just see what happens," Edwards said. "Carl has to comment on all that. That's not my forte. When something like that happens to a player, I work for two other people. They have to make that decision."
If Welbourn does rejoin the Chiefs, he'll be working under a new head coach, since Edwards this year replaced the retired Dick Vermeil.
"As a coach, I'll say this — you always want good players," Edwards said. "But you never want to put the team in harm's way. That will be discussed by Carl."
There might also be a concern about Welbourn's physical shape. He missed all of training camp and has not been practicing with the team.

Web site predicts football's future
You probably haven't realized it, but the jayhawks have already been selected to play in the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz., on Dec. 29 against the Purdue Boilermakers.
Well, kind of.
The Web site CBSSportsLine.com is attempting to predict which teams will play in specific bowl games this season, and following the first weekend of games, it released its first predictions Tuesday.

The Insight Bowl would definitely be an upgrade from the Fort Worth Bowl, but let's not kid around. The Jayhawks need to prove themselves.
Yes, the Jayhawks have the potential to win a lot of games this season. Yes, they even have a realistic chance of winning the Big 12 North, but until we see them play a few games and see what we have, those predictions won't mean much of anything.
We have a lot of players with high expectations that are expected to contribute this season, but haven't done anything yet to prove themselves.
Most people expect Kerry Meier to be our savior at quarterback and immediately fix a position that has recently given Kansas some trouble, but we really don't know how good he is. He has played one game in the past two years, and that was against a Division I-AA opponent.
The defense may be the most unproven group of them all. They are being hyped as being better than last year's defense, which was statistically one of the top defenses in the country; but once again, they have nine new starters who have yet to prove that they really are as good.
I am not saying that Kerry Meier or the Kansas defense are not as good as they are being hyped up to
be. Heck, they might even be better than people think.
Other Big 12 teams selected to appear in bowls are Nebraska, Cotton Bowl; Texas Tech, Gator Bowl; Missouri, Alamo Bowl; Iowa State, Holiday Bowl; Texas A & M., Texas Bowl; and Kansas State, Independence Bowl.
That's right, two Big 12 Conference teams in BCS bowls.
All I am saying is that we need to sit back and let them prove to us how good they actually are, before we go out and predict how well the Jayhawks will finish up this year.
For those of you counting at home, that's nine Big 12 teams headed for bowl games. Only Baylor, Colorado and Oklahoma State are predicted to be left out of the post season.
As of now, the Web site has Ohio State playing West Virginia in the National Championship on Jan. 8. In the other BCS Bowls, they predict Texas will face LSU in the Fiesta Bowl, Auburn will face Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl, USC will play Iowa in the Rose Bowl, and Florida State and Oklahoma will meet in the Orange Bowl.
Remember, these predictions will become more accurate as the season goes on. Also remember that until the jayhawks prove themselves, the talk and hype surrounding this team will be just one thing: a prediction.

Steelers win season opener against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker is hauled down by Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas, bottom, and Kevin Carter, top, in the opening game of the NFL football season at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh won the game 28-17.
Pittsburgh marks first win with sideline kiss
BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers needed two big plays from unlikely sources to pull out a season-opening victory behind their backup quarterback.
Maybe Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban should be flagged for a costly delay, too.
Only Miller didn't really score — TV replays clearly showed him stepping out between the 2 and 1-yard lines. However, Saban waited until too late to throw his red challenge flag, which fell to the turf sight unseen behind and referee Walt Coleman watching the extra point kick. That meant the Steelers didn't have to try to get the ball into the end zone from short yardage.
Tight end Heath Miller chugged his way down the Steelers' sideline on an 87-yard touchdown pass play midway through the fourth quarter, fill-in QB Charlie Batch's third scoring game of the game, and the Super Bowl champions beat the Dolphins 28-17 Thursday night in the NFL's first game of the season.
And no Dolphins upset, either, even though the Steelers didn't look particularly sharp in their first game that counted since the Super Bowl — despite Willie Parker's 115 yards rushing. Miller's 101 yards receiving and Batch's first three-TD game since Nov. 18, 2001, with Detroit.
Saban apparently thought he could throw the challenge flag at any time before the kick went off, but no official saw him and thus there was no replay.
Miami had a chance to come
back, but new quarterback Daunte Culpepper was intercepted on consecutive series, with linebacker Joey Porter scoring on a 42-yard return with about three minutes left.
"We knew we had put them in a situation where they had to pass the ball. I had my chance to make the play and I made it," Porter said.
Porter was so excited, he ran to the sideline and kissed coach Bill Cowher on the cheek — the Steelers' first known sideline kiss since Cowher planted one on Kordell Stewart during a 1997 comeback victory in Baltimore.
Marty Booker, sidelined with what appeared to be a concussion in the first half, came back to make a 50-yard catch of Culpepper's pass, aided by safety, Tyrone Carter's slip, to set up the score.
"I'd go to war for him," Porter
The Dolphins, trying to build off the momentum of their six consecutive victories to end last season, never led until Ronnie Brown scored on a 5-yard run to make it 17-14 in the third quarter.
Culpepper was mostly effective in his first start for the Dolphins, until his late-game mistakes. He also was intercepted by Troy Polamalu
immediately after Miller's catch put the Steelers up. Culpepper finished 18-for-37 for 262 yards.
said.
The Steelers also overcame a costly mistake when Batch fumbled Jeff Hartings' snap at the Miami I and Will Allen recovered, keeping the Dolphins in the lead temporarily.
For the first 2 1/2 quarters, the Steelers looked much like they did in the Super Bowl seven months ago — without Ben Roethlisberger, of course.
The quarterback made an unexpectedly fast recovery from a June motorcycle crash, only to need
an emergency appendectomy on Sunday that kept him out of his fifth game in two seasons.
Just like in that 21-10 win over Seattle in the Super Bowl, there was a Hines Ward touchdown catch, a long Parker run and a favorable call from an official, helping the Steelers go up 14-7.
Batch was 15-for-25 for 209 vards.
Miami couldn't get a running game going until the second half — at one point, Brown had 11 yards on nine carries — but tied it at 7 when Wes Welker's 47-yard punt return set up Brown's 2-year run.
Ward, who sat out the preseason with a sore hamstring, caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Batch late in the first half.
Batch, making his first season-opening start since 2001 with Detroit, looked rusty for two drives, only to settle in and throw a 27-yard scoring pass to Nate Washington to finish off a 75-yard drive early in the second period. It was the first regular-season catch for Washington, a 2005 free agent from Tiffin University whose only other career reception came in the AFC title game.
The Steelers unveiled their five Super Bowl championship banners during a pregame show highlighted by fireworks and an in-stadium concert, but the mood in Heinz Field wasn't entirely celebratory.
Parker used his speed to get loose on a 32-yard run to the Dolphins 35, and cornerback Andre Goodman drew a 23-yard pass interference call on Cedrick Wilson. Goodman started because of Travis Daniels' ankle injury.
A moment of silence was held minutes before the opening kickoff for the late Pittsburgh Mayor Bob O'Connor, who was buried earlier in the day. O'Connor died in office last week of brain cancer. His son, Corey, was introduced to the crowd.

Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair returns to Downing Street, London, on Thursday. Blair promised Thursday to resign within a year, hoping to appease critics in his governing Labour Party who are calling for his departure by revealing a timeframe he had badly wanted to keep private. (Kirsty Wiglesworth/Associated Press)
Labour party worried about his waning popularity
Blair to resign within year
BY BETH GARDINER ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Prime Minister Tony Blair, his reputation in Britain badly damaged by his refusal to break ranks with President Bush, gave in Thursday to a fierce revolt in his Labour Party and reluctantly promised to quit within a year.
Blair, whose popularity began sinking when he committed his nation to the U.S.-led war in Iraq three years ago, had long resisted calls to publicy set a timeframe for his departure from office. He feared such an announcement would make him a lame duck and sap his remaining authority.
But ultimately, the foreign leader best known to Americans could find no other way to end days of public turmoil that were severely damaging Labour, which has been in power for nearly a decade but now trails the opposition Conservatives in the polls.
"I would have preferred to do this in my own way," Blair said, as he conceded that the party's annual conference this month would be his last. Next year's conference is scheduled for September 2007.
Blair appeared to have struck a deal with his expected successor, Treasury chief Gordon Brown, who signaled his support in a statement minutes before Blair spoke to television cameras at a north London school.
He refused to set a specific departure date, saying, "The precise timetable has to be left to me and has to be done in the proper way."
Early signals were that it would buy the 53-year-old Blair time — but not much. He's eager to reach the 10-year anniversary of his 1997 assumption of office, which would be in May.
The key question is whether the prime minister's exit strategy will be detailed and speedy enough to satisfy the impatient Labour legislators who forced his hand.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said Blair and Bush still had a lot of work to do together.
"He's a valued ally," Snow said. "And at this point, we're not sitting around writing encomia for Tony Blair. We're instead busy working with him."
With the outbreak of the Iraq war in 2003, Blair began to lose the iron control he once exercised over his party.
Long derided by critics as the U.S. president's "poodle," he suffered a further blow at July's G-8 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. An open microphone caught a chat in which he seemed embarrassingly subservient to Bush, who greeted him by shouting "Ye, Blair!"
Anger over his handling of the summer's Mideast fighting and ani-
ety over the party's slide in the polls fueled the rank-and-file's impatience for him to leave quickly, or at least to say when he planned to go. Blair's refusal to call for an early end to the Israel-Hezbollah fighting in Lebanon was the final provocation for many once-loyal supporters.
It served as yet another reminder of his close alliance with Bush — a friendship widely detested within the Labour Party — and stirred bitter memories of Blair's decision to commit Britain to the Iraq war despite intense public opposition.
That conflict is the root of his political problems, and continued bloodshed in Iraq keeps it in the headlines. The war has severely damaged his credibility and was widely seen as the reason Labour suffered a sharply reduced majority when he led it to a third straight election win last year.
Blair promised before that vote that he would not seek a fourth term.
A resurgent Conservative Party with a dynamic young leader, David Cameron, has added recently to his woes.
"What's happened today isn't going to end the uncertainty," he said in a statement, "It will probably only add to the paralysis. And frankly Britain deserves better than this."
Cameron, benefitting from Labour's troubles, said the government was at war with itself.
Brown's statement, though, seemed aimed at showing Labour remained united.
Opening a children's sports tournament in Glasgow, Scotland, Brown said that although he has had questions about Blair's plans, he would support his decisions.
"When I met the prime minister yesterday I said to him ... it is for him to make the decision," said Brown, who looked relaxed and cheerful. "I will support him in the decisions he makes."
Chris Bryant, who organized a letter in which 15 Labour lawmakers called this week for the prime minister's resignation, said he was encouraged.
"I hope we can get on with an open and transparent process of appointing our new leader sooner rather than later," he said.
Eight junior officials quit Wednesday rather than remove their names from the letter.
Their revolt had raised the possibility that Labour's eventual change of command would be rancorous and messy — reminiscent of Margaret Thatcher's abrupt, involuntary departure from office in 1990 at the hand of rebels in her Conservative Party — rather than the "stable, orderly transition" that Blair has long promised.
The prime minister apologized on Labour's behalf for the tumultuous
week, which also reportedly included
shouting matches with Brown.
"With everything that's going on here and in the world (it) has not been our finest hour," Blair said.
The two men, now fierce rivals,
jointly overhaulued Labour in the
1990s, dragging it to the political
center and making it electable again
after 18 years in opposition.
Political legend says they struck a deal about the party's future at a chic north London restaurant shortly after then-leader John Smith died suddenly in 1994. Brown would stand aside and give Blair a clear shot at the top job, the gossip goes, if Blair committed to step down midway through a second term as prime minister and let his old competitor take the job.
Both have refused to comment on the rumor, but more than a year into Blair's third term Brown and his allies were clearly growing impatient.
Eager to prevent the eventual handover from getting even uglier — and throwing the elections expected in 2009 to the Tories — many party heavyweights strongly backed Brown as the next Labour leader and prime minister.
"I have no doubt that when the time comes next year, the party will choose Gordon to succeed Tony — and it's right that he should," said Peter Hain, Blair's secretary for Northern Irish affairs.
Theories about the exact timing for a leadership change abound.
British governments usually serve maximum five-year terms before the House of Commons must face re-election. The prime minister is almost always the leader of the party that commands a parliamentary majority.
Speculation focused on May but Blair's spokesman said widespread guesses about a specific date were "just plain wrong."
But an election can happen more quickly — either because the prime minister loses majority support in the Commons, or chooses to call an early election in hopes of increasing the government's majority. If a prime minister resigns or dies, an election is not required; the new leader of the governing party can become prime minister if backed by a Commons majority.
Brown, 55, keeps a low public profile.
Politically, he has been described as a brilliant thinker who has kept a steady hand on Britain's previously fickle economy in his role as Treasury chief and masterminded Labour's landslide election wins in 1997 and 2001.
But he lacks Blair's gregarious nature and polish and some Labour supporters worry he won't score as well with voters.

KU KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
As Kansas continues its nonconference competition, the foes get tougher each week. The Jayhawks will meet their first Division I-A opponent this season Saturday, taking on Louisiana-Monroe. Because its competition continues to improve, Kansas can't afford to get off to the slow start it did last week. Mangino said it was good to see the team face adversity early in the season, but he won't be happy if his team continues to fall behind early on a weekly basis.
5 QUICK FACTS
3 The number of consecutive victories by the Jayhawks, the second longest streak of the Mangino era.
23 Consecutive starts by senior center David Ochoa.
9 Jayhawks that made their first career start against Northwestern State.
140 — Rushing yards last week by senior Jon Cornish, a career-high.
7 — Consecutive victories for Kansas when playing at Memorial Stadium.
PLAYER TO WATCH
1
Fresh man running back Jake Sharp ran for nearly 40 yards in his colle-
glate debut last Saturday. As the main backup for Cornish, Sharp should see significant time in the backfield throughout the season. Sharp's size enables him to squeeze through small holes created by the offensive line. He was able to do that against Northwestern State and turn what would have been short runs into big gains.
QUESTION MARKS
Secondary -- Kansas may still be without preseason All-Big 12 cornerback Aqib Talib, who was reportedly suspended for the team's first two games. Even with senior safety Jerome Kemp returning last week, Kansas' secondary gave up nearly 220 yards passing. With several new starters this season, the secondary might take a few more weeks to develop.
Specialists — Both punter Kyle Tucker and kicker Scott Webb struggled in the season opener. While Mangino said that both would be working to correct the errors that caused several miscues on special teams last week, more problems this week would signal a bad trend.
MONROE DOCTRINE Kansas must stop quarterback
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. LOUISIANA-MONROE 6 p.m. Saturday; Memorial Stadium
Kansas
Offense
Kansas' offense put together a fairly balanced attack last week, with Jon Cornish rushing for 140 yards and a touchdown, and Kerry Meier throwing for touchdowns and running for two scores, as well. After a slow start, the offense seemed to find its stride, especially in the second half, scoring touchdowns on three of six possessions. The Jayhawks' offense is a drastic improvement over the unit's performance last season, but will need to be crisper early in the game.
KU KU KU
Defense
Louisiana-Monroe
RUSH
The Kansas defense fared surprisingly well in its opening game of the season, despite nearly half of its players making their first career starts on Saturday. Throughout the offseason, Mangino has been very optimistic about this season's defense. Although they made a few key stops early in the game, against a team like Northwestern State, the secondary shouldn't be giving up more than 200 yards passing.
Offense
The Warhawk offense was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde act last week. While racking up 320 total yards, the offense reached the endzone just twice because of four turnovers. This offense will go as far as sophomore dual-threat quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster can take it. Seven players had at least one reception last week, so Lancaster will need to continue to spread the ball around, but not too much, as he threw two interceptions last week.
ULM UL
The Warhawks can relieve some of the pressure on Lancaster with a successful rushing game. Junior Calvin Dawson and senior Erroll Hogan combined for 115 rushing yards last week, averaging 4.6 yards-per-carry.
Momentum
KU KU
After an ugly start to the Northwestern State game, Kansas rallied
29
western State game, Kansas rallied and eventually put up 49 points,the most in a season opener since 1992.Not only did the special teams get Kansas into an early 6-0 hole,the offense sputtered in its first two possessions.The defense fared well,but the secondary allowed too many long passing plays for a team like Northwestern State. As the season progresses,the Jayhawks will not be able to afford to get off to such a slow start. This team has much work to do still - and fast as a national television date with Toledo is just a week away.
Jon Cornish
KU KU KU
The Louisiana-Monroe defense sur rendered just 40 rushing yards last week, which is impressive considering its inexperience up front. All four starters on the line are new to the starting lineup this season. Loui-
Defense
Ryan Schnoider
siiana-Monroe also has three new starters at linebacker from last season. True freshman Cardia Jackson had the most impressive debut of the Warhawks' linebackers. He was second on the team with five tackles and recovered a fumble. Louisiana-Monroe's strength on defense is its secondary where all four players started in 2005. The Warhawks' defense recovered three fumbles and picked off two passes last week. Junior cornerback James Wright returned his interception 33 yards for a touchdown.
S
ULW UL
Momentum
Louisiana-Monroe is 1-0 for the first time under fourth-year coach Charlie Weatherbie. In addition, Saturday will be a homecoming of sorts for Weatherbie, who was born in Sedan and graduated from Fort Scott High School. This week, Weatherbie said his team would need to improve on its special teams, but his special teams units performed well last week. Junior kicker Ragan Waiters converted his only field goal attempt and all three of his extra point attempts. Senior Kevin Payne averaged 42.2 yards-per-punt with a long of 60 yards, and junior running back Calvin Dawson averaged 22.5 yards per kickoff return.

ULM KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Louisiana-Monroe defeated Alcorn State in its season opener, 24-6. The Warhawks posted 14 points in the final quarter to clinch the victory and gained 310 total yards to the Braves' 205 total yards. Saturday will mark the first meeting between Louisiana-Monroe and Kansas, and Kansas is the only big 12 school Louisiana-Monroe will play this season. However, Kansas is the first of four BCS-elegible teams Louisiana-Monroe will play. The other three are Alabama, Arkansas and Kentucky, all from the SEC.
5 QUICK FACTS
4 — The number of positions senior Kevin Payne played last week: punter, punt returner, safety and kick returner.
5 — The Warhawks forced five turnovers last week, but had four of their own and almost lost two more fumbles.
27-23 The score when Louisiana-Monroe lost to Northwestern State in its 2005 season opener.
139 — Louisiana-Monroe gained 139 more yards rushing than Alcom State last week.
2006 — The first year Louisiana-Monroe has used the nickname, "Warhawks." Formerly the Indians, Louisiana-Monroe had to change its nickname to comply with NCAA mascot restrictions.
PLAYER TO WATCH
COLUMBIA
Sophomore quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster
hawk quarterback Kerry Meier.
Lancaster has plenty in common with Jayce Karry Maker
Last week, Meier was 8-of-18 for 110 yards and rushed for 62 yards, while Lancaster was 8-of-17 for 100 yards and rushed for 67 yards in the Warhawks' victory. And while Meier left the Northwestern State game because Kansas had the game in hand, Lancaster was forced out of his game against Alcorn State because he lost a contact.
Lancaster will have to be the better dual-threat quarterback this week for Louisiana-Monroe to have a chance.
QUESTION MARKS
Turnovers — The Warhawks proved they were capable of forcing turnovers with two interceptions and three fumble recoveries last week. Sophomore Kinsmon Lancaster threw two interceptions and Louisiana-Monroe put the ball on the ground four times, losing two of the fumbles.
NATIONAL GAMES OF INTEREST
OAKSTATE
OHIO STATE
No. 1 Ohio State at No. 2 Texas,
Saturday 7 p.m. on ABC
Considered by some to be a national championship in September, the winner of this game will control its destiny as to playing in the actual national championship game in January. The loser can only hope to climb back into national championship contention by the end of the season.
Ohio State is coming off a 35-12 victory over Northern Illinois, where Helsman Trophy candidates senior quarterback Troy Smith and Junior wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. had impressive 2006 debuts. Smith completed 18 of 25 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns while Ginn caught four passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns Texas will be without its top cornerback, senior Tarell Brown, after he was arrested on misdemeanor drug and weapon charges Monday morning. Juniuc linebacker Tyrell Gatewood was also charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and will not play Saturday.
PennState
N
No.19 Penn State at No.4 Notre Dame Saturday 2:30 p.m. on NBC
Both teams won their season openers, but neither did so in impressive fashion. As a result, Notre Dame dropped from No. 2 to No. 4 and Penn State remained in the No. 19 spot. A loss for Notre Dame could spell an exit from the Top 10 for the Fighting Irish and a loss for Penn State could bounce the Nittany Lions from the Top 25 altogether.
Penn State held Akron to 225 total yards on offense last week, but managed only 282 yards of its own. Although junior quarterback Anthony Morell had three touchdowns, he completed just 50 percent of his passes and senior running back Tony Hunt averaged just 2.6 yards-per-carry.
Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinlan completed 23 of 38 passes for 246 yards last week, but his only touchdown came on the ground. Junior running back Darius Walker led the Fighting Irish to victory with 1,12 total yards and the game-winning touchdown in the third quarter.
HUSKY
OU
Washington at No. 15 Oklahoma Saturday 2:30 p.m.on ABC
Washington had to fend off San Jose State in a 35-29 victory last week at home. The offense proved potent with 468 total yards and five touchdowns, but also careless with three turnovers. At the same time, the defense allowed 373 yards and failed to force a turnover. Junior running back Louis Rankin clinched the victory with his touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Washington and Oklahoma were rusty last week. This game will prove which team could actually contend in its respective conference.
Oklahoma was tied with UAB for most of the game last Saturday and even trailed momentarily. Like Washington, Oklahoma ultimately won thanks to its running back — junior Adrian Peterson. On top of 143 rushing yards, his 69-yard touchdown reception gave Oklahoma the lead on its way tu a 24-17 victory.

REFLECTING ON FIVE YEARS OF CHANGE
Five years ago, everything in the United States changed. As the four planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, we shuddered to make sense of the violence.
We've seen our fellow students, our instructors, our families and our friends march off to foreign countries to fight in the War on Terror. We've seen gas prices climb to more than $3 per gallon. We've taken off shoes and belts as we've boarded airplanes.
A lot has changed since that day in 2001.Today is an appropriate time to look back five years and offer a tribute to those whose lives were lost or irreversibly changed. We asked you to share your reflections, and we present that here today.

Ashley Bloom, Hutchinson junior, and Katie Jahnke, Shawnee junior, are co-directors of Alternative Breaks. They describe the 11-year-old program as a service learning organization dedicated to giving students hands-on opportunities with service work.
Weekend Breaks take four trips each semester, usually one per month, to locations only in Lawrence, Manhattan or Topeka. Approximately 40 students each semester participate in Weekend Breaks. Food, lodging and gas are covered by a $10 fee. The fee is reduced to $5 after a student has participated in a previous Weekend Break. Service locations for Weekend Breaks are in places like The Salvation Army and The Ronald McDonald
House.
About 50 students go on a Winter Break each year, which is from January 6 to 13 this school year. A student participating in a Winter Break must pay $225, which covers all necessities.
Alternative Breaks
About 70 students each year participate in a Spring Break. This year's Spring Break will be playing host to 10 sites. The cost for attending a Spring Break is also $225.
All students who are interested must apply ahead of time and be interviewed before being accepted.
The application deadline for
Winter Breaks is today at 5 p.m.

Shell Oil Co. president draws attention to U.S. oil

John Hofmeister, a 1969 graduate of Kansas State, spoke Friday as part of the university's Landon Lecture series.
Hofmeister said the United States is especially rich in natural energy resources.
However, he said, reaching those resources can be politically controversial because it would involve drilling offshore or in wildlife refuges and other federally protected areas.

56-year-old woman shoots man in elbow
NEW YORK — Margaret Johnson might have looked like an easy target in her wheelchair.
So when a man tried to grab a chain off her neck Friday, the 56 year old pulled out her licensed .357 pistol and shot him in the elbow, police said.
"There's not much to it," she said in a brief interview. "Somebody tried to mug me, and I shot him."
Johnson said she was in Harlem on her way to a shooting range when the man, identified by police as 45-year-old Deron Johnson, came up from behind and went for the chain.
Boa constrictor survives traumatic mistreatment
NEW YORK — Snake's alive! A boa constrictor was recovering Friday at a Manhattan animal shelter, one day after it was injured by a man who was waving the six-foot snake at passers-by on a Brooklyn street, authorities said.
"The boa is resting, healing, and our medical technicians are keeping an eye on it," said Richard Gentles, spokesman for the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The snake was brought to the facility on Thursday with an injury to its lower jaw, reportedly when the man stabbed the boa with scissors.
Elephant learns Korean by mimicking keeper
SEOUL, South Korea — A 16-year-old Asian elephant can make sounds imitating up to eight Korean words, including "sit," "no," "yes," and "le down," amusement park officials said.
The pachyderm produces humanlike sounds by putting his trunk in his mouth and shaking it while exhaling similar to the way people whistle with their fingers. Park workers said it's unclear whether Kosik knows the meaning of the sounds he makes. Kim Jong-gap, who has been Kosik's keeper for 10 years, said he first heard the elephant speak two years ago.

'Jericho' premieres in North Lawrence, Gov. Sebelius attends
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
CBS caused quite a stir in North Lawrence on Saturday to promote its new drama "Jericho."
The show depicts the aftermath of a nuclear attack and takes place in the fictional western Kansas town named Jericho.
Several network representatives, including the show's star Skeet Urlich, were in attendance. Kansas
Governor Kathleen Sebelia came from Topeka for the promotional event to publicize the show.

Hollywood came to Lawrence Saturday afternoon for a promotional event unveiling local artist Stan Herd's 20-acre crop art which depicts the logo of CBS' new fall drama "Jericho." The show is based in the fictional, post-apocalyptic Kansas town of Jericho. Its star, Skeet Ulrich, met with Governor Kathleen Sebellus during the event.

The show was premiered in front
of the Lawrence Visitor's Center Saturday and was followed by a performance from local musician Kelly Hunt.
The show will premier on CBS on Sept. 20. Gov. Sebelius proclaimed that day jericho Day across Kansas.

Gov. Sebelius was excited that the focus was on Kansas and excited to see it represented on TV.
"It makes people think about the heartland," she said.
The governor said during her proclamation that she would be looking forward to the second year of "Jericho" being filmed in Kansas, a proposition that Ulrich later answered.
"That's a deal only if you're in it," Ulrich said to the governor.
Ulrich plays Jake Green, who returns home to Jericho in the first episode before the nuclear explosion. He described his character as
a wanderer who has nowhere left to go and must come to terms with the chaotic situation.
He said the show's premise was interesting to him.
Pat Ross, whose land at Bismarck Gardens was used for the crop art, said he and his wife were hesitant about letting their land be used as a canvas, saying that they "didn't
exactly jump into it."
They agreed to let their land be used if it helps Lawrence.

Intoxicated student arrested, alleged to have hit five cars
CRIME
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A 19-year-old KU student was arrested early Thursday morning on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence and for leaving the scene of an accident.
The arrest was made in connection with an incident in which several vehicles were allegedly struck on or near campus.
Lawrence police arrested Jared
Hodgson, Overland Park sophomore,
at his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, 1602
W. 15th St. Witnesses said Hodgson
drove his Jeep to his fraternity and
 did not immediately come out to
speak to police.
Lawrence police officers noted damage to the suspect's vehicle in their report. Witnesses confirmed that they had noticed damage to the vehicle as well.
Officers were not permitted to
enter the fraternity, but waited an hour for Hodgson to come out, witnesses said. After speaking to police, he was arrested.
Witnesses and police reports laid out the alleged accidents this way;
Lawrence police received calls referring to a vehicle that allegedly struck five other vehicles in the area near the 1600 block of Edge Hill Road. The vehicle drove off after striking the cars.
KU Public Safety officers responded to a call from Terrence Oben, Lawrence senior, who said a vehicle had nearly struck him on Naismith Drive.
Oben was returning home early Thursday after working in a KU computer lab. He was driving southbound on Naismith Drive when he said he saw a vehicle coming straight at him in the wrong lane. The vehicle didn't stop at a stop sign, barely missed
Oben's vehicle, and continued driving northbound on Naismith, he said.
Oben turned around to follow the vehicle and later called the KU Public Safety office. He said he followed the vehicle to Phi Kappa Psi.
Oben exited his car, approached the vehicle and opened the door. The driver did not immediately get out. Oben and another witness said the driver offered him money to not call police.
Oben said he was somewhat shaken up by the incident.
Hodgson was released from Douglas County jail Thursday on $1,000 bond. He is scheduled to make a court appearance later this month.

KU Army ROTC performs raid
Families catch a glimpse of their loved ones' lives
BY NATE MCGINNIS
The sound of a helicopter sliced through the air. A voice squawked loudly through the radio. Suddenly, a rope dropped and eight men in camouflage repelled from the air.
They formed a tight grouping and slowly crept towards a door. They paused slightly before they kicked in the door and tossed a dummy grenade. After a loud sound, the unit rushed in. The only sound was the screaming of orders to soldiers.
A few seconds passed and a soldier escorted a little girl costumed in a burqa, an all-covering dress worn by some Muslim women, out the door to safety. More time and screaming passed, and soldiers escorted a male insurgent outside of the room. The soldiers checked the man's pockets for weapons and equipment, before they arrested and led him away.
This raid could have happened several thousand miles away in Iraq, but took place inside the Military Science Building at the University of Kansas.
The scenario was a demonstration of a military operation on urban terrain, or MOUT, and was executed in front of an audience of friends and family for KU Army ROTC's family dav Saturday.
Lt. Col. William Maxcy, battalion commander for KU Army ROTC, said family day was an opportunity for families to learn about what their child's life in the military would be like.
Maxcy briefly addressed the assembled audience and highlighted the increase of ROTC involvement at the University. Maxcy said two
years ago the program had 62 cadets enrolled. That number is now up to 92.
Dan Flynn, St. Louis junior, said he had wanted to be in the Army since third or fourth grade. He was able to get a scholarship to attend the University when he enrolled in Army ROTC.
"It was the best decision I have ever made." Dan said.
Kevin Flynn, father of Dan, said he thought his son's decision was unique in part because he himself had never served in the military.
"Most people don't have the ability or desire to serve their country," Kevin said.
Not every cadet in KU ROTC is a KU student. The program has partnerships to accept students from other schools including Washburn University, Mid-America Nazarene University and Baker University for training.
Tyler Abel is a junior at Washburn University and participates in Army ROTC through the partnership program.
For Tyler, military service is a family affair. Tyler's father is also in the Army and currently serves in Iraq.
Cathy Abel, Tyler's mother, said at first she was surprised by Tyler's decision to join ROTC, particularly because he had spent so much of his life around the Army.
Tyler said he hadn't thought much about joining ROTC until his freshmen year of college. He was wondering what to do with his life, and thought about the moments when he was happiest. It was then he realized what he wanted to do.
"The Army is where my heart lied," Tyler said. "There's always that feeling of togetherness."

Beer, music combine at Brewgrass festival
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Beer and music make a nice combination. At least they did for many Lawrence beer enthusiasts this past weekend.
The second annual Brewgrass festival, a microbrewery and music festival, was held at Burcham Park, Second and Indiana streets, on Friday and Saturday. Seven microbreweries were on hand, and 29 bands performed for residents, KU students and visitors to Lawrence.
The band WAR headlined on Friday night and Keller Williams was the main attraction on Saturday. Local microbreweries Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., and 75th Street Brewery, 3512 Clinton Pkwy., represented Lawrence. Boulevard and McCoy's were on hand from Kansas City, Mo. Blind Tiger from Topeka, Flying Monkey from Merriam and Power Plant Brewery from Parkville, Mo., were in attendance.

The festival was the brainchild of organizer Jessie Jackson and his friends Jeff Fortier and Micah Weichert, head brewer at 75th Street Brewery. Weichert thought Lawrence needed a microbrewery festival. Jackson, a musician and promoter, added the musical aspect.
"I'm not a big beer drinker, but I appreciate microbreweries," Jackson said. "The brewers are so passionate. To me that's awesome."
Brewing beer is more than a job, it's a labor of love, and he doesn't make much money doing it. Welchert said.
Wetchier announced Friday night that 75th Street Brewery would be separating from its parent company, KC Hops, located in Kansas City. The brewery will change its name to the 23rd Street Brewery. Weichler said that many of the beer recipes were already different than the 75th Street Brewery in Kansas City and may change some more.
"Making beer is an art form," Weichert said. "It's about blood, sweat and tears."

Huff n' Puff event takes place over Lake Shawnee
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The 31st annual Huff n' Puff hot air balloon rally attracted hundreds of eager families, pilots and friends to witness and celebrate a balloon-filled, kaleidoscopic sky over Lake Shawnee in Topeka this past weekend.
Dozens of balloons were launched during the designated one-hour launch windows in the mornings and evenings. On Friday and Saturday night, pilots tethered their balloons and created a glowing effect as darkness fell by repeatedly firing the burners of their balloons.
All through the field onlookers cheered and waved as balloons climbed into the
sky and slowly shrank against the horizon.
A crowd of people circled around the checkered, multicolored balloon "Dreamtime" and watched as the pilot and crew filled it with two tons of ais. A handful of people peered up inside the balloon, which was as tall as a seven-story building. They jumped and shrieked when the pilot fired up the balloon, and a ten-foot tail flame blasted out of the burner.
Danielle Mills was a member of "Dreamtime's" crew. She has been involved since she was young and came back from school at William Jewell last weekend to help with the Toneka rally.
me and my family, she said.
Mills wasn't the only veteran, Stevan and Gretchen Ryan of Olathe have been ballooning for 28 years and have made it back to Topeka for the event every year, even when they lived in Dallas.
"The best part is all the friends we've met," Stevan Ryan said. His wife agreed.
She and her friend Marsha Mechtley sat on the tailgate of her truck knitting a baby blanket that was spread between them. The two met 25 years ago when Mechtley and her husband Ken decided to sponsor an air balloon, and have been friends ever since.
Mechtley said her favorite flight experience with the Ryans was flying over a field
of sunflowers in the morning when they were opened and facing the rising sun, and then floating over them again in the early evening when they faced west.
Ryan said his flights usually last 45 minutes to an hour and he typically travels six to 10 miles.
Mechtley said people often asked them where they're going to land, but there is no way to tell for sure. Ryan said that's part of the excitement.
"We don't know," he said. "It's wherever the wind takes us."

Artists convey culture to community
Traditional dances, art work displayed at annual Native-American art show
BY DARLA SLIPKE
At the 18th annual Haskell Indian art market, large white canopies covered the powwow grounds where nearly 200 Native American artists from across the country gathered to sell their work.
Hundreds of people congregated under the tents at the outdoor market to view or purchase the works of art that celebrated Native American customs and cultures.
Several Haskell students also shared their culture with the public by performing traditional dances.
The rattling of several hundred jingle cones accompanied the pounding drum and the wall of men as Kylene Denny stepped into the circle. Wearing a dress laden with elaborate bead work and coated with conical adornments fashioned from chewing tobacco lids, she performed the jingle dance. The dance originated when a medicine man, who was unable to cure a girl in his tribe,
received a vision telling him to have her perform the healing dance.
Rebecca Jamison, Haskell junior, also danced. She and Denny said they thought of the good things in their lives when they dance.

The market featured food, live entertainment and Native-American artisans from across the country.
In addition to the performances the market showcased art work that reflected a respect for life, nature and animals, and included pottery, paintings, woodwork, clothing and jewelry.
The Haskell volleyball team and other student groups also participated in the event by helping out. Don Cardinal, co-chairman for the event, said the market was a way to showcase the university and bring many different artists together.
The artists work was inspired by the traditions of their ancestors that were passed down to them through the generations.

Despite some early rain, the 27th annual Lawrence fall arts and crafts festival began Sunday at 10 a.m. in South Park, 11th and Massachusetts streets, offering interesting artifacts from area and regional artists.
The fair featured glassblowers, woodworkers, photographers, hat makers, jewelers, basket-weavers and many more artisans. Children enjoyed moon walks, a train, craft booths and many other activities as parents walked in and out of tents, studying the various works.

because it was one of the more profitable shows for her.
Garman said that she liked the festival because it was close and traveling far for her has become a hassle because of the price of transporting and setting up her booth.
"You just have to take off and try out a few shows and if they prove to be pointless then you just don't go back," Garman said.
Duane Peterson, special events supervisor and organizer of the fair through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, said that the number of vendors was down this year. Last year, he said that about 220 vendors attended but that it had decreased this year to just under 160.
Nonetheless, Peterson said the
fair season was a national event.
"We sometimes get people from as far away as California, Texas and New Mexico," Peterson said.

More than $1 million raised to help cancer patients
KU Medical Center plays host to Treads and Threads benefit
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
In its most successful money-making year to date, Treads and Threads, an annual benefit for the University of Kansas Medical Center, earned more than $1 million, only $300,000 less than the event's past four years combined.
Proceeds from Treads and Threads will go to the hospital's Cancer Center. This year's event celebrated the 100th anniversary of the hospital.
Country singer LeAnn Rimes headlined the sold out event Saturday night at the Kansas Speedway, located in Kansas City, Kan.
KMBC-TV anchor Larry Moore enceded the event. Moore, a cancer survivor, has enceded Treads and Threads since its first year in 2002.
"Every dollar that we raise here helps to reduce the chance of cancer and helps to increase the likelihood of survival." Moore said.
About 15 years ago Moore underwent treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer, at the University of Kansas Hospital.
"When you go through a challenge like that it's a challenge that you can't really describe," Moore said. "It's a life-changing challenge
Anna Faltermieer/KANSAN
and once you survive there really is an oblitation to give back."
Alicia Reed volunteered to work at Treads and Threads with her husband and sister this year. Reed said she has several family members who have suffered from cancer.
The event was catered by 23 Kansas City metro area restaurants. Besides performances from Rimes and the Chicago's Bill Pollack Group, a fireworks display and rides around the track were part of the night's entertainment.
Single passes for the event were
$175. Patron passes were $275 each.
"Everybody either knows somebody or is related to somebody who has cancer; it's so pervasive in modern society," Reed said. "I think research is the way to go."
The money raised at the event will benefit the Midwest Prostate Center, in Chicago, Ill., expand the Patient Resource Center in KU's Cancer Center and go toward educational training for cancer care team members.

This year's sold out event garnered more than $1 million for the hospital's cancer center. This is by far a record amount of proceeds for the event. In the previous four years combined proceeds were $1.3 million. More than 3,000 people attended and 107 sponsors made contributions.

Governor, challenger trade 'personal barbs'
Candidates meet Saturday for their first debate, disagree on school finance
BY ROXANA HEGEMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUTCHINSON — Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Republican challenger Jim Barnett drew starkly different pictures of the Kansas economy Saturday in their first debate ahead of November's election.
Sharing a stage at the Kansas State Fair, the Democratic incumbent and the GOP state senator from Emporia also clashed on school finance, and traded some personal barbs.
Supporters of Sebelius outnumbered Barnett's backers in an audience of more than 2,000, with the governor's crowd chanting "four
more years" and drowning out Barnett with boos at times.
Also on hand were two abortion opponents in cockroach costumes and Sebelius masks pretending to be the governor's campaign mascot. The display was meant to bring attention to allegedly unsanitary conditions at abortion clinics — a connection few in the crowd seemed to understand.
"You have to ask yourself: Are we better off today than we were four years ago?" Sebelius, elected to her first term in 2002, told the audience.
"Our economy was struggling," she added. "We had a billion-dollar deficit. Our schools had been neglected for years by the Legislature.
And our health and safety concerns had been overlooked."
She said Kansas now has a "robust economy," and she credited a top-to-bottom review of government spending that she ordered in 2003 for helping the state avoid a tax increase. She also took credit for bringing legislators together to make a commitment to public schools.
"We are on the path of a real economic boom in Kansas," Sebelius said. "And that shows up with the U.S. Department of Commerce saying we are moving ahead of the nation, we are moving ahead of neighboring states."
Barnett disagreed, repeatedly
Farm Bureau ARENA
asserting the Kansas economy was not doing as well as neighboring states or the nation in general. He said Kansas should have better-paying jobs.
"Why is our economy lagging behind? Why haven't we not been keeping up? The number one issue business will tell you is the high taxation state we live in," Barnett said.
He vowed if elected to abolish estate taxes, give businesses a 10 percent investment tax credit and boost the income tax exemption for dependents by $500.
Lindsey Bauman/THE HUTCHINSON NEWS
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, left, speaks alongside her Republican challenger State Sen. Jim Barnett (R-Emporia) during a debate held at the Farm Bureau Arena on the Kansas State Fairgrounds on Saturday in Hutchinson. The debate is the first of four planned before the election.
Sebelius responded that Kansas already will be phasing out its estate tax over the next three years. And she noted a state law enacted this year eliminating inventory taxes on new business equipment and machinery that will spur greater investment by the state's businesses.
At one point in the debate, Barnett called the governor's recent trip to the U.S.-Mexican border a photo-op. Kansas National Guard troops had been sent there to help build a fence and patrol the border.
Sebelius shot back that Barnett did not understand the governor's role as commander.
School financing also proved a contentious topic. Legislators, responding to a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in a lawsuit brought by several school districts, approved a large increase this year in state funding.
Barnett said he would deal differently, with the court, "which is appropriating money, and it has no business appropriating money." He also said he would work to change the way Supreme Court justices are selected, so they would better reflect what he called Kansas values.
But Sebelius said the state has made a commitment to its school children, and it cannot back off.
Tribe tries to save endangered fox species
WILDLIFE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Native to Plains grasslands, the swift fox — small and speedy, averaging less than 10 pounds — disappeared over the decades from entire swaths of North American habitat, including the 221,000-acre reservation of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe
in central South Dakota
"We don't have any foxes on the reservation," said biologist Shaun Grassel, who led the tribe's team. About two-thirds of South Dakota is the animal's historical range, Grassel added, but "for a variety of reasons, they pretty much went extinct."
Setting up camp Sept. 1 at Scott State Park in Logan County, the team spent several days trapping 20 male and 20 female swift foxes. Once caught, each animal is vaccinated and has a blood sample drawn.
The tribe's effort is the third
"We're all independent." Grassel said, "but we're all working together. We're all doing things simultaneously."
in South Dakota. The Turner Endangered Species Fund and the Badlands National Park are also working to reintroduce the fox.
The tribe's project has been in the works since 2004, when Grassel first looked at the feasibility of the effort. That's when he made contact with other states, including Kansas, that have surplus populations of the swift fox.
Before he could start trapping, Grassel needed a permit from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. He had nothing but positive words for the agency and for the state, which — like South Dakota — is a member of the Swift Fox Conservation Team.
"Kansas has been wonderful to work with," Grassel said. "They didn't require any other wildlife species in return."
This year's expedition was the first of what Grassel expects; will be several trapping trips.

U.S. Vice President Cheney defends invasion in Iraq
BY TOM RAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday defended his lightning-rod role as a leading advocate for invading Iraq, for a warrantless surveillance program and for harsh treatment of suspected terrorists.
"Part of my job is to think about the unthinkable, to focus what in fact the terrorists may have in store for us." Cheney told NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked about his "dark side."
Cheney said he now recognizes that the insurgency in Iraq was not "in its last threes," as he said in May 2005. "I think there no question
"It's still difficult. Obviously, major, major work to do is ahead of us. But the fact is.
"I think there is no question that we did not anticipate an insurgency that would last this long."
Cheney disputed that he ever directly said Saddam had any role in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I think we've done a pretty good job of securing the nation against terrorists. You know, we're here on the fifth anniversary (of the 9/11 attacks). And there has not been another attack on the United States. And that's not an
accident, because we've done a hell of a job here at home," Cheney said in the broadcast interview. "I don't know how much better you can do than no, no attacks for the past five years."
He said the U.S. had done a good job on "homeland security, in terms of the terrorist surveillance program we put in place, the financial tracking we put in place, and because of our detainee policy"
He defended his past statements both on links between Iraq and the al-Qaida network, and on the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, saying the pro-
Cheney challenged polls suggesting that a majority of people in the United States do not believe the Bush administration's claim that the war in Iraq is the central front in the fight against terrorism.
Cheney shrugged off news reports that his influence was waning, partly as a result of foreign policy miscalculations and partly as other advisers, especially Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, were getting more attention from President Bush.
the world is better off today with Saddam Hussein out of power. Think where wed be if he was still there." Chenev said.
DICK CHENEY Vice President
Rice told "Fox News Sunday" that these stories float around Washington — who's up, who's down. The vice president remains a crucial adviser to the president. His role is different than my role. ... These stories are simply ridiculous."

"It's hard to say. Hard to put a precise number on it," Cheney said.
Asked whether the U.S. still would have invaded Iraq had the CIA told Bush and him that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction in 2003, Cheney answered yes. He said Iraq had the capability of obtaining such weapons and would have done so once U.N. penalties were eased. Democrats poured.
Cheney cited various statements by former CIA Director George Tenet, both on Iraqi links to al-Qaida and weapons programs, including Tenet's often-quoted comment to Bush that it was a "slam dunk" that Iraq had such weapons.

"Vice President Cheney's influence over our nation's foreign policy has made America less safe," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "Vice President Cheney's appearance today proves that he just doesn't get it."

other developed countries The United States ranked 16th out of 27 countries in graduating those between the ages of 18 to 24, according to the study. This is a dismal number with all the resources this country can provide.
Overpriced universities failing American students
With increases in tuition and the endless debt that engulfs students, it's no wonder fewer students are taking the college path.
Not only is the United States second-best in basketball these days, we have fallen in the ranks of higher education. The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education's report released last week shows a decline in the number of young adults receiving college degrees, with the United States lagging behind other developed countries.
The report also graded the 50 states, and Kansas received a failing grade in the area of affordability. This comes during the University's five-year plan to more than double tuition rates.
In-state students taking 15 credit hours pay $4,824 a year while out-of-state students pay more than double that amount at $13,098. That price tag does not include the astronomical cost for textbooks, along with the cost of living.
The report noted that on average, one year at a public four-year university would cost a student's family 31 percent of its income.
In states that performed well, college completion numbers were still subpar. Less than 70 percent of students at four-year institutions finished a bachelor's degree within six years.
More than four years for an undergraduate degree has become the norm, even if the University has pledged to curb the number of students exceeding the four-year mark.
A study by the National Center for Education Statistics indicates that nearly half of recent college graduates have accumulated student loans, with an average student loan debt of $10,000. This explains why students are just as focused on finding a part or full-time job as they are on their studies. For a number of students, taking the necessary 15 hours a semester to graduate in four years just isn't an option.
Louis Mora for the editorial board
This trend could lead to the start of a generation of undereducated people. The United States and the state of Kansas should quit failing their students.

THE NEW
FACEBOOK
Facebook moving in wrong direction
》 GUEST COMMENTARY
For those of you who are not users of Facebook, the following will likely not be of much interest to you. For everyone else, I think we have something in common.
We hate the new Facebook.
On Sept. 5 Facebook introduced two new features to its Web site: News Feed and Mini-Feed. News Feed displays on your home page, the page you are taken to immediately after logging in. Among the things described on the News Feed are new friend requests, new group invitations, recent photo tags, and the like. This is essentially a more streamlined version of Facebook's previous notification system and a novel (and fairly well-designed) improvement.
Mini-Feed is a different story.
Mini-Feed shows up on your Facebook profile and displays your most recent Facebook actions to anyone who views your profile. Information displayed here includes notes that you've left, photos you've been tagged in, your new friend requests, any changes to your profile and the like.
Although much of this information was visible before, it has never been consolidated in a single location. Profiles only displayed "last updated" information, not pointing out which information had been changed. Friends were viewable by "network," but it was not before possible to track friend updates. Now, everything you do or change is catalogued and displayed for anyone to see.
We've all done it: read someone's profile multiple times in one day, gone through someone's entire photo album, read someone's entire wall, or gone through someone's list of friends. Wed joke about Facebook Stalking and obsessive addiction to Facebook.
In short, Facebook has become Stalker Central.
We were harmless.
The introduction of Mini-Feed introduces a very shady, very dangerous aspect to the Facebook community. Where we once had safety we now have doubt. Who is reading our profile? Who is paying a little too much attention to what we've been saying, doing or changing?
In short, Facebook has made a grave and unsettling mistake.
The outlash speaks for itself. In the space of a few days, massive online groups, petitions, and other forms of community action have spread like wildfire. My own status reads "Craig is hating the new Facebook." People I never speak to write on my wall just to agree with me.
When notified by Matt Newsome, senior at American University in Washington, D.C., that the new Mini-Feed feature was not being well-received by his peers, Facebook issued an official response. Although the company understands that "some people are unhappy or concerned about the recent changes to Facebook," the letter reinforces the company's decision by describing the Mini-Feed as a way "to make it easier than ever before to see interesting, relevant pieces of information from the world around you."
Unfortunately, having all this "relevant" information available at a mouse-click means that anyone can easily track your activity on the Web site.
In short, the issue boils down to this: There are little tiny "x's" that can make this feature moot. No one is making you use Facebook or perform actions that are routinely cataloged. Laziness or the otherwise unwillingness to circumnavigate this new feature could potentially increase the chance for unwanted data to be distributed to your peers
— but anyone who is actually Facebook-stalking you is probably going to do so regardless of whether you make it easy or difficult.
I'm disappointed in the new Facebook (in fact, I hate it) but I realize that I have — and have always had — the ability to control my own exposure on this Web site. When this right disappears, Facebook will have gone a step too far.
Facebook may not have broken any laws, but it has broken our trust. Shame on you, Facebook. Shame on you.
But in this case, I find it safe (though perhaps also regrettable) to say that Facebook has merely made a mistake in reading its users' expectations. There is no constitutionally-granted right to Ultimate Facebook Privacy.

Lessons of 9/11 aftermath too easily forgotten
COMMENTARY
---
BY EMILY HENDRICKS
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
On this day five years ago, everybody knew what was happening would affect the world forever. Five years later, I think we tend to remember the events of September 11 more than we remember the lessons we learned from it.
I'm going to venture a guess that most people at the University of Kansas weren't touched directly by the attacks, and that like most Midwesterners we saw their effects mostly through the way people acted. All of a sudden people were nice. They smiled at random strangers on the street, said hi to people when they passed them. Church attendance shot up, and people spent more quality time with their families.
My question is this: Why do we need a huge disaster to remind us how important people are? We should be trying every day to make meaningful connections with family, friends, roommates, co-workers and professors. I'm not saying that everybody should like everybody else, nor am I promoting universal hipie love.
I'm just asking you to think about how many times you've walked down Jayhawk Boulevard with your iPod on, your head down and not looked at a single person on the way to class. How many times have you ducked out of your dorm/apartment quickly so you didn't have to say anything to your roommate? We're all guilty of it.
Those little things make a big difference in other people's lives as well as yours. Don't take people for granted. Go out there and make someone smile today.
As we all do our duty as Americans today by reflecting, include in your Sept. 11 musings a thought or two about how you could connect better with those around you. Do you actually know the name of the person you always sit near in your econ class? Try talking with the person. Do you always walk straight past the guy mopping up the nasty floor in your residence hall? Ask him how his day's going.

GUEST COMMENTARY
sexual advertising harms human dignity
Friday, an ad ran in The Kansan that pictured the buns and (rather attractive) legs of a young woman. Nothing but the skimpy laced blinki covered her. The ad promoted The Kansan feature "Sex on the Hill" and the slogan read, "We Mount Oread," (Ha. Clever!)
Sex sells ... and it seems that The Kansan has fully embraced this successful marketing concept. The fact that my column starts with the word "sex" will most likely draw more readers.
The Kansan is the student voice of KU. Although the first amendment protects its right to write about (and picture) such vulgarities, it makes me wonder why The Kansan chooses to do so.
The message that the paper is sending is that the degradation of our bodies is normal and acceptable. The woman's face in this ad was cropped out. Much of her true
Although the ad was rather creative and well designed, it made my heart sink.
Our University and our culture have come to believe that sexual indulgence is a right. At the same time, however, we wonder why rape, molestation, abortion, STDs, divorce, pedophilia, adultery and poor self-image are so prevalent.
Some even go as far as to say that suppression of sexual desires is unhealthy. Yet, if that is true, what
separates us from animals who have unrestrained sexual license? Our ability to suppress pleasure for a later, more beneficial pleasure is what makes us human.
Our human dignity is compromised each time a message appears that suggests sexual promiscuity. The woman in that ad deserves more respect than the ad gives her.
In praise of The Kansan, Sex on the Hill always includes a story about chastity or premarital purity. I look forward to reading that article.
If the paper keeps promoting distasteful sexual advertising, it helps condition our community to see each other solely in terms of physical qualities. However, if the paper would choose not to promote sex so vigorously, we could create an atmosphere of self-respect and true sexual joy.

Exhibit displays Sept.11 memories
Photographers' remembrances of historic event at Dole Institute
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Even though they each stand more than 10 feet tall, it's hard to notice the two steel beams from the World Trade Center towers because of an impressive American flag stained glass window drawing the viewer's attention away.
The flag and columns will set the backdrop for the traveling Associated Press photo exhibit "9/11 Five Years Later," which has been on display for two weeks at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The last day to view the display is Sept. 12.
The exhibit features photographs taken of the World Trade Center on the day of the attack and at the same site in June 2006.
"It's chilling," Jean Bischoff, senior archivist at the Dole Institute, said. "To me, the most interesting thing is how all the photographers responded as humans."
A video telling the story of what
it was like for the AP photographers on that unforgettable day is on display. The photo screens were packaged in a container that will be mailed to various locations across the country throughout the year.
In the video, five or six photographers shared the sights, sounds and feelings they experienced while capturing the story and images.
In the chaos, dust and rubble, Mike Silverman, managing editor of AP, explained his dedication to the work that took the forefront of many photographers' minds despite the feeling of terror in their stomachs.
Former senior staff photographer Marty Lederhandler was 84 years old when the attacks took place. He described how he could not walk fast enough to be close to the towers so instead he went to the top of the General Electric Building to photograph the scene from above.
"It's a strange feeling. You look
at one picture with the building, and the current picture, no building. Just an emptiness in the sky." Lederhandler said in the movie
As the video plays on the screen, visitors can see the dirt and rubble still on the tower's columns. They were not cleaned or restored before arriving at the Dole Institute in April 2003. According to a statement prepared by Bischoff, they appeared exactly as they were when they were removed from Ground Zero. They were still coated with flame retardant foam, jet fuel and debris.
the four-foot-wide steel columns, which weigh approximately 1,500 pounds, were part of the perimeter of the towers. John M. Barson, World Trade Center engineer, stated in a letter to Stan Rolfe, professor of civil and environmental engineering professor, that one of the columns was installed somewhere between the 58th and 61st floors. The other tapered piece
came from one of the mechanical equipment floors, he said. There were three mechanical floors in each tower.
Andrew McKelvey shipped the columns to Lawrence from New York City. McKelvey worked with Senator Bob Dole and former president Bill Clinton on a Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund for children of Sept. 11victims. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented them to the Dole Institute. The memorial cases in which the columns are encased, were a gift from KU alumni Fred and Virginia Merrill.
Bischoff said the Dole Institute would soon make the plaque with the donors' name more prominent in the display.

Liberty Hall to screen conspiracy theory documentary
BY DAVID LINHARDT
University of Kansas graduate Matt Toplikar isn't sure if he believes the conspiracy theories surrounding the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but he's passionate about challenging the government's official story.
Toplikar worked for weeks with friend Tim Hjersted to bring the controversial documentary "Loose Change" to Lawrence. The conspiracy film will be screened at 7 p.m. today at Liberty Hall, 643 Massachusetts St., on the fifth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Admission is $2.
"Loose Change" was originally created by three 20-something men on a Compaq Presario laptop with Adobe video software. The film uses news footage, declasified documents from decades past and open-ended questions to try to
debunk the government's version of Sept. 11.
"Movies are good about certain things, but even from our own research we think it might have gotten some things wrong," Toplikar said.
Filmmakers Jason Bermas, Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery finished the second edition of the film this year after Avery did much of the work on the original version, which cost only $2,000 to produce. The second version, which will be shown in Lawrence, cost $6,000.
USA Today attacked the film, but Vanity Fair magazine promoted it. The three filmmakers were in New York this weekend to promote their work and the pending third version, "Loose Change: Final Edition," which will arrive before the end of the year.
Avery's first idea was a short
story about him and his friends discovering that the government had covered up its role in instigating the terrorist attacks. He found that his research seemed to point to the story actually being true.
Bermas, one of the film's producers, saw the same vision of Sept. 11 that Avery did, though Avery and Rowe did not meet Bermas until they had already partially finished the first version of the documentary.
For the film to be successful, "we really need a college movement," Bermas said.
Bridget Franklin, a KU student activist, said she hoped the film didn't try too hard to take sides.
"I believe we could have done more to predict that Sept. 11 was going to happen," said Franklin, Topeka senior. "I think we were just too busy neglecting what's going on
in other parts of the world."
The showing has been promoted by Tribal Vision, an activist group in Lawrence, and by 911Truth.org, a sprawling consortium of challengers to the government's story of Sept. 11's events.
Janice Matthews, executive director of 911Truth's steering committee, is also a KU graduate. She said that though her organization wasn't directly overseeing the screening of "Loose Change" in Lawrence, she was thrilled to see students reexamining the events of Sept. 11.
"I'm just so angry," Matthews said. "We can't live in a country where people can't ask questions."

Bush vows to never forget lessons from Sept.11
BY JENNIFER LOVEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — President Bush and his wife Laura stood in somber silence on Sunday after laying wreaths at the site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once soared. He later pledged "renewed resolve" to remember the lessons of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The Bushes set floral wreaths adrift in reflecting pools that mark the former location of the north and south towers at the beginning of a fifth-anniversary tour that will take them to all three sites of devastation.
fighters.
They uttered no words at the ceremony, and walked hand-in-hand on the floor of the cavernous pit, after a slow procession down the long, flag-lined ramp from the street level four to five stories above.
The Bushes then attended a service of prayer and remembrance at nearby St. Paul's Chapel and stopped by a rebuilt firehouse to greet fire-
"Laura and I approach tomorrow with heavy hearts. It's hard not to think about people who lost their lives." Bush told reporters after meeting with relatives of 9/11 victims at a visitor center near the firehouse. The original firehouse, on the rim of the pit, had been destroyed in the attack.
"Tomorrow is a day of sadness for a lot of people," Bush said. "I vowed that I'm never going to forget the lessons of that day. ... So tomorrow is also a day of renewed resolve."
They were the first stops of nearly 24 hours of observances at the three sites where terrorists wrought death and destruction and transformed his presidency. Nearly 3,000 Americans were killed in the attacks.
On Monday, the anniversary, he was to visit with firefighters and other emergency workers at a firehouse in lower Manhattan; attend a ceremony at the field in Shanksville, Pa., where one of the hijacked planes hurtled to the ground; and participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon.
He also was to speak to Americans during a prime-time address Monday night from the Oval Office.
Accompanying the president and first lady at ground zero were New York Gov. George Pataki, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Rudy Giuliani, who was New York mayor at the time of the attacks.
Across New York, residents marked the day at other ceremonies large and small. From a service of remembrance at St. Patrick's Cathedral in midtown Manhattan to a chant at a Buddhist temple on Staten Island, New Yorkers observed the somber anniversary with prayer and reflection.
Bush and his wife wore grim expressions as they took their places for the interfaith service at St. Paul's. The 240-year-old Episcopal church, across the street from the site, escaped damage and became a center of refuge for weary rescue workers.
Sitting next to Bush in the pew was Jane Vigiano, who lost two sons in the attack — Joe, a policeman and John, a firefighter. Sitting next to Laura Bush was Bob Beckwith, the retired firefighter who handed Bush a bullhorn on the president's first ground zero visit.
On their way in, Bush and his wife greeted Arlene Howard, the mother of 9/11 victim George Howard, a New York Port Authority police officer, with a kiss on the cheek. Bush keeps Howard's badge as a constant reminder of the attacks.
I was sitting in homeroom at my school and the news was on TV. I watched in shock as they described the first plane hitting the towers and then out of nowhere the second plane hit. The only thing going through my mind as I witnessed this was, "Oh my God, I hope my father is ok!"
My dad worked only two buildings down from the World Trade Center and I was terrified that something bad had happened to him. After homeroom was finished I gathered in the choir room with a bunch of my friends. We were all using our cell phones to try and contact our parents, most of whom worked in New York
City. I finally got ahold of my mother and she came to pick me up at school. She had heard from my father who was heading towards the ferry since the subways were shut down. We drove to Newark to pick him up and I will never forget what we saw. The towers were on fire and smoke was everywhere. Newark was a traffic jam, because everyone had to get out of New York City through the ferry. People were standing on the streets waiting for their loved ones to come home. I started crying when my dad finally found us and got in the car.
He was coughing and was covered in soot, but he was alive. He was lucky and I thank God everyday that he survived such a horrible tragedy.
Anna Phillips, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore
Sitting in class that day I had to come to grips with the fact that my mom was in New York. My mom travels a lot in her job so this wasn't rare, but that day was different. She was staying in the Marriot World Trade Center. I called my dad, and he
Samantha Hersh, South Orange,N.J., senior
assured me that she was ok. The truth is he didn't know. He thought she was on Long Island, but she wasn't. She was standing under the towers when the first plane went in and when the first tower came down. Everything that happened that day was her story. But her being there, and the week it took for her to get home is mine.
Craig Frint, Belleville freshman
When 9/11 happened, I was in boot camp for the Marines at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. MCRD San Diego is right next to the airport in San Diego. Everyday we would run by the airport and hear the planes take off. That morning, we thought there might be trouble when we heard no planes taking off.
The second sign was when we were on our way back to where we stayed was all the other men who where at training were in circles. We
were sent to take a shower and change clothes and then our senior drill instructor came and told us what had happened. At first we were shocked, then we all felt the anger.
A couple days later, we were shown some pictures and the anger instensified. We used that anger and trained to become Marines even harder. I'll never forget that shock or the anger. 9/11 changed the lives of everbody in the United States, but for me, it was a change that helped me become a Marine and defend the United States.
The Kansan asked members of the University of Kansas community to submit their reflections about the events of Sept. 11 and how our country has changed since that time. Selected submissions are printed below. All submissions are available online at kansan.com/sept11.

SEPT.11 (CONTINUED FROM 9A)
Patricia Schroeder, Lenexa senior
Unlike most students, I wasn't in high school when the attacks happened. I had just been married in July, and my husband and I had overslept. He called his boss to let him know he was going to be late before we had even turned on the news. His boss said, "Considering what's happened, no one is going in today." That was when we
turned on the TV.
We spent the whole day glued to CNN, like most Americans. Since we had slept till noon, we thought that my husband's boss was exaggerating.
Kyle Rohde, Delafield,
Wis., alumnus
Surely the towers weren't completely gone. Within five minutes of turning on the TV we saw the rubble. I don't really remember much else from that day. I don't even think we even ate lunch or dinner, we just kept staring at the TV.
I was just beginning my freshman year at KU, living on the 7th floor of Templin. My roommates were all at class already and I woke up around 9:30 in the morning and got in the shower. I turned on the radio and heard something about the president being secured in his location.
I then rushed out to the living room and turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit the twin towers. I then ran into the dorm hallway to see if anyone else was around before returning to my room and calling my dad. He and I talked quickly
before I headed to class.
Id considered skipping class but I went to anthropology anyway. In that class, we spent the period discussing what had happened. Towards the end, a student raised his hand and began talking about his sister, who worked in the building as a translator for German business people. In the middle of talking, he burst into tears and told us that his sister had most likely died in the collapse. I've never heard 120 people go so silent so quickly.
That day is vivid in my memory and will be for the rest of my life. It was indeed a somber day in the beginning of my college career.
Joe DeLissio, Staten Island, N.Y., sophomore
A lot of students' parents worked in Manhattan and I remember everyone being nervous about their families.
I am from Staten Island, NY., and I was in my second period class when the towers were hit. My teacher, Mr. Manzo, had told us that something had happened but he did not tell us specifically what. In my next class my history teacher, Mr. Gus, told the class that the World Trade Center had been hit by two airplanes. It wasn't until later on that I found out they collapsed.
My dad works right under the Brooklyn Bridge, just across the river from the World Trade Center. Luckily he took off work that day because he was supposed to take my mom to get dental work done. After my third period class my father came to pick me up at school. On our way back from picking up my older sister from her school we could see smoke filling the sky across the Hudson River in Manhattan.
Everyone was shocked. It didn't really hit me until later in the day watching the news with my family how devastating the attack was. The terrorists had taken lives and destroyed a part of the greatest city in the world.
Jessica Christenberry, De Soto senior
Senior year of high school, and we were starting to research for some important paper or another. We had all trucked into the library, and were mainly talking at tables. Someone was on the CNN Web site, and said that a plane had hit the Pentagon. We thought it was a joke. How could that happen?
Then we hear that a plane hit one of the World Trade Center towers, and it seemed more serious.
One by one we filed into the media center where the librarians recorded news for the journalism teachers. I distinctly remember standing there with my arms crossed, watching the news in silence with five or so of my classmates.
That was when we saw live the second plane hit the second tower. The rest of the day was a blur of watching the news and being in fear. Nothing could happen to us in Kansas, but we could feel for the people of New York and Washington.
Amanda O'Toole, Wichita alumna
As we did every Tuesday morning, my roommate and I watched "Good Morning America" while we got ready for our history discussion.
I had just gotten back from brushing my teeth when the station showed a live coverage of the towers. Only one was on fire.
I wasn't sure what was going on. Was it an attack?
An accident? And then I saw the second plane hit.
Myexperiences throughout the next few weeks still
give me chills: awestruck and sometimes crying, I watched 9/11 coverage in the lobby with everyone else on my floor; I watched even the most liberal of students avoid walking on a giant chalked American flag by stepping off Wescoe Beach and onto Jayhawk Boulevard and I chanted "USA" with thousands of other Jayhawks at Late Night with Roy, which was only about a month after the attacks.
I can't believe it's been five years and there are still days I can't believe it ever happened.

The nature of college athletics requires constant travel and relocation. On the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, The University Daily Kansan asked some Jayhawk coaches where they were when they heard the news.

On Sept.11, Bonnie Henrickson was just miles from the Pentagon.
"I couldn't see the plane hit, but you felt it," she said. "Then, after a few minutes, you could see the smoke."

AAU coach Linda Genther told coach Henrickson that she needed to turn on a TV immediately. Right as Henrickson was learning of the collapse of the World Trade Center, a plane struck the Pentagon.
Henrickson recalls her family frantically trying to get a hold of her. When her sister was reassured that Bonnie was safe, her sister burst into tears.
Henrickson also remembers the first day airlines were cleared to fly again.
Being a head basketball coach on the collegiate level requires an abundance of travel.
Accompanied by her staff, they were the only three people aboard the commercial flight.
After that day, Henrickson says her thoughts on traveling will never be the same.

Kansas defense needs Talib in lineup
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
MPHILIPS@KANSAN.COM
As the Kansas cornerbacks allowed Louisiana-Monroe to convert a third and 16 on what could have been the game-tying drive, it became painfully obvious what the Jayhawks needed: Agib Talib.

Brandon McAnderson, junior running back, returns an onside kick with just under three-and-a-half minutes left in Saturday night's game against Louisiana-Monroe. The Jayhawks defeated the Warhawks 21-10.

JAYHAWKS DEFEAT WARHAWKS IN FINAL MINUTES OF GAME

big in his return to the lineup.
The sophomore cornerback has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Charles Gordon and be at the heart of the new-look defense. He has the talent to intercept anything thrown near him. He has the showmanship to be on the SportsCenter Update at :28 and :58. He's also been conspicuously absent from the first two games.
Talib was suspended at the "coach's discretion" the week before the first game. He spent the game, as he did last week, chatting it up with junior cornerback Michael McCoy on the sideline.
Coach Mark Mangino was elusive on the issue, but hinted at Talib's return to the lineup.
"If I decide to, we'll play him," Mangino said. "I think that he may play; there's a good chance that he will, but we'll see how he does and how things are going for him."
The time for Mangino to send a message is done. Kansas cannot defeat Toledo without Talib anchoring the secondary.

Without him, all Kansas has is senior safety Jerome Kemp. He has performed admirably, but his health is still not at 100 percent.
"I'm banged up here and there, but I'm always ready to go when it comes game time," Kemp said.
The fragile secondary hurt Kansas in other ways, too.

Kansas offense looks 'inept'in game against ULM
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Mark Mangino talked all week about his team making its biggest improvement between the first and second game.
Kansas squeaked past Louisiana-Monroe 21-19 Saturday, staving off a serious upset bid. The Jayhawks' offense looked inepot for most of the game and the defense was lit up for nearly 400 yards passing. With a national television date with Toledo looming on Friday, Kansas must improve — and fast.
That didn't seem to be the case this week.
Mangino said he didn't think his team overlooked ULM, but that the game was a valuable experience before its first road game.
"I've talked to them all week that I thought this was a good football team," Mangino said. "I thought they had a lot of talented kids, especially at the skill positions, and we learned that we have to earn them one at a time."
Although Kansas never trailed.
ULM had numerous opportunities to at least send the game into overtime and possibly sneak out with the victory. ULM kicker Ragan Walters shanked a 43-yard field goal and also missed an extra point.
Despite the blown chances, ULM had a chance to tie the game with less than four minutes left in the game.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Warhawks drove down the field, aided by Lancaster's 28-yard pass to running back Calvin Dawson on a critical third down and six play. Dawson took the ball into Kansas territory and ULM would score the touchdown a few plays later, making it 21-19. The Warhawks missed the two-point conversion that would have tied the game when Lancaster's pass in the end zone to tight end Zeek Zacharie sailed wide.
With numerous chances tie the game, ULM players knew they missed their chance to upset a BCS-conference team.
"We did dominate the game," Zacharie said. "It was just a few
missed opportunities for points. It's a big disappointment."
Kansas secondary, which is still without suspended starting cornerback Ajib Talib, sophomore, struggled throughout much of the game. Talib's replacement, sophomore Raymond Brown, was burned on several passes, including a 59-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7, late in the first quarter.
Kinsmon Lancaster, the Warhawks quarterback, finished the game 24-of-41 passing for 377 yards and two touchdowns. It was the most passing yards Kansas had given up in nine games.
After giving up 377 passing yards and more than 420 yards of total offense, Kansas' defenders said they had mistakes to correct before their first road game next week.
"We definitely need to pay more attention to our packages, our coverages and to our opponents," senior safety Jerome Kemp said. "We didn't necessarily overlook them, but we were caught off guard."

Glitter molestation conviction leads to ban of popular song at KU sporting events

Fans of KU basketball tradition and '70s glam rock took a hit Thursday when the Athletics Department banned "Rock and Roll Part 2" from all sporting events.

"There's just plenty of other songs we can play." Marchiony said. "We don't need to play a song by Gary
Glitter."
Earlier this year, the National Football League asked its teams to stop playing the popular arena anthem. Marchiony said the decision to ban the song at KU sporting events was not influenced by the NFL's decision. He also said the NCAA had not contacted the department about the song.

In past seasons, Stidham had the band play the song at every basketball game during pregame warm-ups and after a Kansas run forced the opposing team to take a time out.

Arkansas tops Kansas in five-game match
BY DREW DAVISON AND MICHAEL PHILLIPS
The Jayhawk lost the match, but still left the weekend as the champions of the Jayhawk Classic, thanks to a victory against BYU earlier in the weekend.
Kansas and Arkansas provided a thrilling conclusion to the weekend of volleyball at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center, as all five games were up for grabs through the final points. The final score was 33-35, 30-27, 26-30, 30-25 and 11-15.
In a match where every point mattered, KU serving errors allowed Arkansas to take Kansas to a fifth game, where the Razorbacks edged the Jayhawks for a key early-season victory.
The Jayhawks committed 16 serving errors, each of which resulted in an automatic point for the Razorbacks.
"Serving is just one of those things," Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, said. "It's either our biggest weapon, or biggest weapon against us."
Katie Martinich, freshman setter, sets the ball for Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, during Saturday's home loss to Arkansas in Horejsi Family Athletics Center. It was the final match of the Lahawkville Noyes had a career high 20 Kills against Arkansas.

On the brighter side for Kansas, Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, had a career-high 20 kills against Arkansas. Jamie Mathewson, senior libero, also set a career-high in digs with 24. And Katie Martincich, freshman setter, set her assist career-high with 67.
Arkansas may have had the edge in experience, but both teams matched up well in a physical early-season game. Kansas ended the game with 23 more kills than Arkansas.

Kansas State improves despite kicking blunders
MANHATTAN — After missing two of three field goal attempts in Kansas State's 45-0 win against Florida Atlantic on Saturday and going 3-for-6 during his first two games, KSU kicker Jeff Snodgrass
is going to be churning them out during practice this week as Kansas State prepares to host Marshall.
But while making kicks was a problem for the Wildcats, returning them wasn't. Justin McKinney's 88-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff was the Wildcats' first game-opening score since Red
Elder did it against Oklahoma on Nov. 7, 1936. It was Kansas State's second kick-return TD in as many weeks, after Yamon Figurs ran back a punt against Illinois State in the Wildcats' opener.
But after managing just 207 yards of offense and not scoring a touchdown in that game, the
Wildcats rolled up 346 yards on the Owls (0-2). Meanwhile the Wildcats' defense had three sacks and nine other tackles for loss, holding Florida Atlantic to 202 yards. The Owls have yet to score a touchdown this season.

Late goal pushes Kansas past Duke
Kansas' freshmen forwards lead Jayhawks to victory against No.15 Duke tournament title at UAB Nike classic
BY MARK DENT
Strong performances by young and experienced players alike led Kansas to an unexpected victory against No. 15 Duke at the UAB Nike Classic.
Shannon McCabe blasted the game-winner off a pass from Monica Dolinsky with 26 seconds left, as the freshmen forwards led the Jayhawks past the Blue Devils 4-3 in Birmingham, Ala.
"The girls showed a lot of heart,"
"Kansas coach Mark Francis, said.
"This was one of the best performances I've seen since I've been here."
The Jayhawks (4-1-0) had a goal kick in the 90th minute that went to Dolinsky. She collected the pass around midfield and forwarded the ball to McCabe.
"The girls showed a lot of heart. This was one of the best performances I've seen since I've been here."
Gault tallied her second goal of the season on a pass from sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush. Duke added another goal to extend it.
Boyer made a final pass to Dolinsky, who knocked it in from the center of the box. It was her team-leading fourth goal of the season.
Kansas' victory against Duke Sunday, paired with a 2-1 victory against Alabama on Friday, meant it won the UAB Nike Classic.
A slow start made the Jayhawks comeback necessary. The Blue Devils scored in the second minute and then again in the 62nd minute to take a 2-0 lead. Senior midfielder Holly Gault ignited the Jayhawk resurgence.
MARK FRANCIS Kansas coach
McCabe's goal was her first of the season, and it gave Kansas its first lead of the game, after trailing 1-0 early and 3-1 for much of the second half.
Dolinsky did more than just set up the game winning shot. She also tied the game eight minutes earlier. Dolinsky and another freshman forward, Kim Boyer, passed the ball between themselves deep on the offensive side of the field. Their game of back and forth ended when
Her fellow freshman caught it on the run, beat a defender and fired the ball into the net from barely inside the goal box to give the Jayhawks their first win against a top-25 opponent since 2004.
lead to 3-1, but it didn't have much time to celebrate. Gault responded eight seconds later to pull Kansas within one.
Senior forward Lacey Novak passed the ball to Gault on the
ensuing kickoff. A streaking Gault received the pass, sprinted past her defender and squeaked the ball past the goalie.
Gault's goals kicked off a 24-minute span in which Kansas scored all four of its goals, culminating in McCabe's game winner.
"Offensively, this was our best game of the season," Francis said. "We showed intensity consistently throughout the game."
Kansas has a chance to defeat another quality opponent when it plays former top-25 team Pepperdine this Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. It will be the Jayhawks' first home game in three weeks.

football quotes
Louisiana-Monroe coach Charlie Weatherbie on what cost his team the game:
"We had three missed kicks - two field goals and a missed extra point. We make that extra point and it's a tie ballgame with three minutes left in the game and we're right where we want to be in the fourth quarter."
Weatherbie on where he thinks both teams will be
by the end of the season:
"They're a physical, Big 12 team.
They'll win a lot of games. I told our players today that that's a bowl team. I really believe that,
and I believe we will be too."
Senior defensive end Paul Como on what success the Kansas defense had against ULM sophomore quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster: "He was pretty fast, so it was a big challenge, but I thought
we contained him pretty well. He threw for a lot against, us, but he didn't run the ball too much."
Kansas coach Mark Mangino on what positives came from allowing Lancaster to pass for 377 yards:
"You never like to give up 377 yards passing, but when you take into account some of the kids who were back there, this was a good learning experience. Watching themselves on
tape with the coaches critiquing them will be a good learning experience. I think we will be a better secondary for having played this game."
Mangino on ULM's pressure against
quarterbackKerry Meier:
"They had a blitz fest out there for a while. We saw everything out there."
Mangino: "We told the kids, you've got to toughen up, get in there and keep sawing wood."

ULM quarterback shows capability against Kansas
Living by the "bend, but don't break" philosophy, the Kansas secondary was stretched to its breaking point by Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster.
For the game, Lancaster completed 24-for-41 passes for 377 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. His performance was one of the 15 best all-time by an opposing quarterback against Kansas.
Two plays into the second half, the Kansas secondary had already surrendered more passing yards than it did during the entire northwestern State game.
"The Alcorn game was not a good game to measure Monroe," Mangino said. "It wasn't a tough
Unable to find an answer for Lancaster during the game, Kansas had even fewer answers after the game to explain why it couldn't stop Lancaster.
Although the Jayhawks watched film this week to get an idea of what the Warhawks' strengths were, Kansas coach Mangino said the film didn't do justice to what Lancaster and ULM were capable of.
game for them at all."
As a result, Lancaster looked like a man among boys for most of the game, excelling in high-pressure situations.
On nine occasions, Lancaster was faced with third-down and at least seven yards, and four times he converted — one time hitting tight end Zeek Zacharie for a 59-yard touchdown.
Other times, needing eight yards, he passed for 16 and needing seven yards, he passed for 28. Even facing a third and 16, Lancaster completed a 17-yard pass.
However, the statistics showed that Kansas' adjustments in the secondary weren't enough. Lancaster completed 67 percent of his passes in the second half, compared to 52 percent in the first half.
"Our defensive schemes, I think are perfect for any offense that we go against; it's just getting the right call" Kemp said.
Senior strong safety Jerome Kemp said the secondary made adjustments throughout the game in an effort to stop the plays Lancaster was having success with. He said faults in the defensive schemes were the cause of Lancaster's success.
And despite having less space to work with in the red zone, Lancaster found holes in the Kansas defense. Lancaster connected with Zacharie once again for a three-yard touchdown that put ULM in a position to tie the game in the fourth quarter.
Instead of focusing on what the secondary did wrong against the Warhawks, Mangino said the game would be a great learning experience for his inexperienced secondary.
Kemp said he was still comfortable with the players around him in the secondary, but gave a short list of what the secondary needs to improve on to avoid making the same mistakes against pass-happy Toledo this week.
"We definitely need to pay more attention to our packages, our coverages and to our opponents," Kemp said. "We didn't necessarily overlook them, but we were caught off guard."

Kansas extended its home winning streak to eight games, tying the longest streak in school history. The Jayhawks own the Big 12's second-longest home winning streak, trailing only Texas Tech, who has 10 straight home wins. Texas, the previous leader, had its 16-game streak ended Saturday by Ohio State.

Ups, downs of Meier's second performance
The offense as a whole looked sluggish and did not produce when it had to. There
were key third downs late in the game that if the Jayhawks converted, they would have put the Warhawks away. Someone needs to step up and be a vocal leader for everyone else to feed off of, and this needs to be Meier — no matter his age or year in school. The offense cannot look sluggish again at Toledo on Friday or the Jayhawks will be 2-1.
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier finished the night 16-for-27 for 185 yards, with two passing touchdowns and two interceptions. How was his performance compared to last week?

He threw two beautiful touchdown passes and made plays with his feet that Jayhawk fans have not seen since the days of Bill Whittemore. He still tends to telegraph his passes but will improve with more experience.

The Jayhawks' first blitz of the night resulted in a 40-yard completion for the Warhawks. After that, defensive coordinator Bill Young seemed trigger shy for the rest of the night, knowing that if a blitz was picked up, one of the Warhawks' receivers would be matched up favorably against a young Jayhawk cornerback.

Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier is skilled, but also inexperienced. Cornish will have to be able to provide gains in big third-down situations to help keep the defense off the field.

gameday notes It was finished when...
Kansas Junior fullback Brandon McAnderson recovered the onside kick by Louisiana-Monroe.
After a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to cut Kansas' lead to 21-19, ULM attempted to regain possession with the onside kick. Instead, McAnderson recovered the kick and the Jayhawks ran out the clock.
Game ball goes to...
Senior running back Jon Cornish was one of Kansas's few bright spots in the game. Against ULM, Cornish tailled 165 yards of total offense, including 110 on the ground. On a night when freshman quarterback Kerry Meier struggled at times with accuracy, Cornish made the necessary plays. Cornish's goal of at least 1,000 yards this season is certainly on target. He's already one-fourth of the way there after two games.
Game to forget...
Kansas' secondary gave up a nauseating 377 yards passing. ULM quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster had his pick of wide receivers for most of the night, with three ending up with at least 80 yards receiving.
Stat of the game...
Kansas played without starting sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib, who might be back next week. With or without him, Kansas' secondary has some serious problems to correct this week.
Lancaster and his receivers connected for six passes of at least 20 yards, with four of those coming in the second half.
Lancaster's 377 passing yards ranks in the top 15 all-time for most passing yards given up by a Jayhawk defense.
Last week against Northwestern State, the secondary gave up 217 yards passing. Lancaster had that many yards by the second play of the third quarter. He was the first quarterback to pass for at least 300 yards against Kansas since Texas Tech's Cody Hodges threw for 333 yards last season.

One of those passes, midway through the second quarter, sailed over the head of senior receiver Dominic Roux and was intercepted by ULM defensive back Josh Thompson at the 15 yard line, who was one of two defenders covering Roux.
All three of the lajhawks' scoring drives came on possessions of 80 yards. Other than those three scoring drives, Kansas' offense sputtered for most of the game. Kansas went three-and-out on four of its first five possessions and followed that with an interception on the sixth drive. On seven drives, Kansas couldn't record a first down.

confidence boosters," Meier said. "Coming off those, to have a three-and-out, it's not good, it's not what you want."
With a tough test against Toledo on Friday fast approaching, Mangino said his team had work to do, but made enough plays to earn the victory.
"The bottom line is we won, we'll take it and we're not giving it back," Mangino said.

Green suffers head trauma
Chiefs quarterback taken to hospital, doesn't remember 'brutal hit'
BY DAVE SKRETTA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Trent Green was taken from the field on a stretcher after a brutal hit by Cincinnati's Robert Geathers, and while the Chiefs said their quarterback sustained "pretty severe head trauma" he was awake and moving shortly after Sunday's game.
"Actually, when he did wake up.
he remembered every play except the one that knocked him out," Kansas City general manager Carl Peterson said. "So we're being very optimistic and hopeful."
Peterson said Green was taken to a hospital where preliminary X-rays of his neck and head were negative.
Green was injured when he went into a feet-first hook-slide at the end of the third quarter.
Geathers charged in and
BOOMMATE
appeared to hit Green's head or chest with his shoulder.
Green's neck snapped back hard into the turf and he lay motionless for a few moments. He then was taken off on a stretcher, with an attendant holding his hands under Green's helmet.
There was no penalty on the play.
"His family, including his wife, Julie, is with him," Peterson said.
The Bengals won 23-10

Switch failure causes power loss on campus
Lack of electricity affects thousands across Lawrence, lasts about 30 minutes.
BY BEN SMITH
Nearly 11,000 people found themselves in the dark yesterday when a temporary power outage struck a large section of Lawrence and the University of Kansas.
The outage occurred when a switch failed in what a Westar Energy spokeswoman referred to as the Ren substation.
Gina Penzig, spokeswoman for
Westar Energy said the outage affected the area of Iowa Street from Clinton Parkway to Peterson Road and east of Iowa Street near Haskell Indian Nations University.
Penzig said the first report of the

outage came at 3:50 p.m. and within 30 minutes power was restored to all Westar customers.
"We checked all the spaces in the building to make sure we found anyone who might be in trouble." Pearse said. He said his staff was able +the lights briefly flickered and then everything went dark.

rescue people trapped in elevators when the power outage hit.
Pearse said the Union had an "excellent emergency generator," which kicked in to provide some light during the outage.
Kelley Puckett, Wichita sophomore, was in the Kansas Union working in the offices of the nontraditional student association when the power went out. Puckett said she was working at a computer when
These outages were similar to the outages the campus encounter as the results of a hailstorm in April. In the past two years a microburst in March and a squirrel in February 2005 also led to blackouts.

Arsonist sentenced for campus fire
Former student caused $8 million in damage to Watson Library, two Lawrence businesses
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A former KU student was sentenced yesterday in Douglas County District Court to five years in prison for setting fires on campus and at two Lawrence businesses.
David Jay, 26, was convicted in July of one count of aggravated arson and two counts of arson. The five-year sentence will begin after Jay finishes serving a six-year, four-month sentence for convictions of 13 counts of arson in Johnson County District Court.
Court Jay's attorney, Angela Stoller, did not return several calls requesting comment.
Jay had used "starter logs" to set a fire in the stacks at Watson Library. He used the same material to set fires at Clinton Parkway Nursery, 4900 Clinton Pkwy., and at the dental office of Keith Jones, 647 Country Club Terrace.
Kansan staff writer David Linhardt can be contacted at dlinhardt@ kansan.com.
Jay set the fires in March 2004 and later fled to California before turning himself in to authorities.
The fires were set within a week's time and damage totaled $8 million.

BUSINESS
Alan Mulally, left, and William Ford, Jr. laugh during a news conference at Ford Motor Company headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., Sept. 5. Ford is stepping down as CEO but will remain chairman of the troubled automaker. Mulally, previously CEO of Boeing's commercial airplane division and a graduate of the University of Kansas, has been named president and CEO at Ford.
NOTHING BUT PRIDE, RESPECT FOR FORD COMPANY'S NEW CEO
Ford
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
His professors knew.
When Alan Mulally left the University of Kansas in 1969, it was no secret he would hit it big.
"We knew when he graduated he would be very successful," Eddie Lan, professor of aerospace engineering, said.
Mulally, who earned a bachelor's and master's degree in aerospace engineering from the University, was named CEO of Ford Motor Company last week. He had spent the last 37 years at Boeing, the last five as the CEO of its commercial airplane division.
Ian Roskam, Mulally's graduate professor, was more specific.
"I expected him to be the president of Boeing," Roskam said. "And he did."
Roskam helped get Mulally Roskam's first master's student
a job at Boeing when Mulally completed his master's thesis at the University. Roskam spent eight years at Boeing before coming to the University to teach in 1968.
Ford, the country's second-largest automaker, announced the terms of Mulally's compensation on Friday. He will receive $18.5 million up front, including a $7.5 million signing bonus. The other $11 million is to offset the compensation Mulally lost when he left Boeing. His annual salary is $2 million. The package also includes stock options.
His compensation at Boeing was nearly $10 million last year.
Vince Muirhead, one of Mulally's undergraduate professors, said Ford made the right choice in hiring Mulally.
"He's an excellent man for the job he's getting." Muirhead said. "They couldn't have made a better choice."
lose as much as $4 billion by the end of the year.
Mulally has a tall task in front of him at Ford. Ford he replaces William Ford Jr., the great-grandson of the automaker's founder, who stepped down to become Ford's executive chairman. According to Business Week, Ford has already lost $1.4 billion this year and is expected to
Mulally is known for his remarkable turnaround in the commercial airplane division at Boeing after Sept. 11, and is expected to do the same at Ford.
"He was a damn good student," Roskam said.
He added that Mulally had a bubbly personality that helped him be a leader in and out of the classroom.
Many of the traits that Mulally used to get ahead in the business world were developed and honed at the University.
tor him." Roskam said, "And they liked it too."
"He always made students work
Mulally's mother, Lauraine, was excited about her son's new job. Mulaly told her she was the first to know.
"It think it's great" Lauraine said.
"I think he's up to the challenge"
Mullally's mother isn't the only person in her family who is proud of her son's accomplishments. His sister Maureen, who is 15 years younger than her brother and works at the University, said she had always tried to emulate him.
"He always told me perseverance pays off, work as hard as you can," she said. "He's been an inspiration to me and others."

CITY OF LAWRENCE
Commission proposes remedies for safety concerns Traffic report identifies roads on campus and around Lawrence that are unsafe for pedestrians
BY MARK VIERTHALER
A group of students stood in front of JRP Hall at the curve of West Campus Road waiting to cross the street.
A cherry-red sports car screamed around the corner and the group took a step back onto the sidewalk and waited for the train of cars to pass. The group then tentatively began to cross the street once again.
According to a Lawrence Traffic Safety Commission report, several spots through campus, such as the curve on West Campus Road, have been deemed dangerous for pedestrians.
The Lawrence City Commission will consider an ordinance to improve several traffic safety measures around campus and close to the new Park and Ride lot today.
Phil Hood, St. Louis graduate student, passes the spot twice a day. He bad never felt any danger himself, but said he could see why
the corner would be considered dangerous.
"There are always cars screaming and screeching around that corner;" Hood said.
Robert Hagen, traffic safety commission member, said the safety commission originally proposed a crosswalk be placed at the curve, running in front of JRP, where there was a tendency for cars to drive at high speeds without looking.
When the problem was addressed last spring, commission members expressed concern that a crosswalk wouldn't help the problem and voted to table the bill for further study.
The commission will also consider changing the speed limit on West Campus to 20 mph. The plan would place five yield signs along Becker Drive, which circles next to the Park and Ride lot.
After approaching the city commission with its findings for the intersection of 19th and Tennessee
The off-campus area near 21st and Kentucky streets was also dubbed unsafe after the Pedestrian Advisory Commission noted a lack of sidewalks in these neighborhoods.
The commission agreed last week to put up a 90-day trial "No Right Turn if Pedestrians Present" sign at the intersection.
Hagen said other areas of concern included the lack of sidewalk on the east side of Naismith Drive between 23rd Street and campus.
streets a week ago Hagen said the traffic safety commission made a recommendation to prohibit right turns during a red light while pedestrians are present because of three vehicle-pedestrian accidents in the last year.

On-campus tennis courts left dark
Facility's lights still not functional after complaints from students, faculty
Lisa Lipovac/Kansan
BY C.J. MOORE
KANSAS TENNIS
Josephy McCracken, Topeka freshman, and Tristan McCafferty, Lawrence senior, play an intramural tennis game in the dark at the tennis courts next to Robinson Center on Monday night. Two of the courts do not have functioning lights. "It sucks." McCafferty said. "It's been broken for way long" Facilities Operations said it would replace the lights Monday, but had not done it well into the evening.
Students wanting to play tennis at the Robinson Center tennis courts might be forced to play in the dark.
Ramsey Attaria and his friends were looking for somewhere to play Thursday night on campus.
"We were hyped to play tennis," Attaria, Wichita senior, said. "We were ready after watching the U.S. Open."
Several lights were out at the Robinson courts, including all the lights that illuminate the two northwest corner courts.
Bernie Kish, facility director of Robinson Center, said he called Facilities Operations two weeks ago to have the lights replaced after an engineering professor informed him that the lights were out. Kish called again Monday.
Facilities Operations said it would replace the lights sometime Monday, but the lights were still out well into the evening.
Funding to maintain the eight tennis courts at Robinson — including the lights — comes out of the University budget, Kish said.
Attaria said that he was not satisfied with the number of courts at the University and that he would like to see a new lighting system because the current system had only one light for most of the poles.
"We have 22,000 students here and we only have these eight courts on campus." Attaria said. "They should build another facility or something where you can play tennis."
After Attaria and his friends arrived Thursday night about 10 p.m., all the remaining lights went out at Robinson. They went to Holcom Park, 2700 W. 27th St., instead.

GTA negotiations
Both sides must agree on fact-finder to help mediate contract discussions.
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Will Delehanty, political science GTA, said he was frustrated with the length of time the negotiations have taken.
With the negotiations between the University of Kansas and its graduate teaching assistants lasting well into the school year, GTAs are left wondering what their new contracts will say.
"I do find it kind of questionable that both the University and the GTAs have kind of dragged their feet on this," Delehanty said. "You would think the University would want to have this in place by the time school starts so the GTAs know how to spend our time."
Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, said a speedy resolution was exactly what the University wanted.
Bretz said the negotiations were still stuck in the process of getting both sides to agree on a fact-finder, an independent arbitrator who would make recommendations for an agreement. Bretz said she didn't know how long that process would
take.
"We haven't gotten any sort of time estimation," Bretz said. "If there's a way to expedite it, wed be interested in that."
Bretz said even after the fact-finder had been chosen, he or she would then have to be approved by the Public Employees Relations Board, a division of the Kansas Department of Human Resources.
Katy Martin, lead negotiator for the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition, blamed the lack of prog ress on having to navigate state bureaucracy.
"It just takes time" Martin said.
"The wheels are moving. It's just going to take a while."
Martin also had no definite time table for reaching an end to the negotiations. She said that it "could take a couple months" but that she hoped an agreement would be reached by the end of the year.

Displeasure with incumbents could create political shift in Congress this November
BY LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS
"They're not doing their job," says Scott Newland, 39, an independent
NEW CASTLE, Ky. — Dissatisfied with Congress, voters would probably hang a "Help Wanted" sign on the U.S. Capitol if given the chance.
Such angry sentiments echo up and down the Ohio River Valley as it cuts through Republican-held congressional districts in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio — politically pivotal House seats in an election year in which
voter who backed President Bush in 2004. "You need people that care. They don't care."
Democrats hope to end 12 years in the minority.
At lunch counters, post offices, city parks and downtown streets, voters in this region and nationally are quick to voice their frustration with the GOP-controlled Congress, and their desire for more responsive replacements for the current crop of lawmakers. It's a
general disgust that may lead to firings of some politicians on Nov. 7.
With congressional elections less two months away, the public is consistently giving the GOP-run Congress dismal marks. An Associated Press-ipsos poll in August found that only 29 percent of the public approve of the job Congress is doing.
A CNN poll earlier this month found that 55 percent of Americans are more likely to vote for the challenger in any election this fall. And an ABC News/Washington Post poll in August found that 53 percent of Americans call themselves "anti-incumbent," a figure as high as it was in the summer 1994 shortly before
Republicans seized control from Democrats.
The party in power typically loses congressional seats in the sixth year of a presidency, and both Republican and Democratic strategists say this fall is on track to follow suit. GOP losses are expected in the House and, perhaps, the Senate.

International figures criticize U.S.reaction to terrorist attacks
BY ELAINE GANLEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — The nations of the world joined Monday in solemn remembrance of Sept. 11 — but for many, resentment of the United States flowed as readily as tears.
Critics say Americans have squandered the goodwill that prompted France's Le Monde newspaper to proclaim "We are all Americans" that somber day after the attacks, and that the Iraq war and other U.S. policies have made the world less safe in the five years since.
Heads bowed in moments of silence for the 3,000 killed in the attacks on New York and Washington — while the No. 2 al-Qaeda leader issued new warnings in a videotape. And dissident voices said the world had traded in civil liberties and other democratic rights in its war on terror.
In Europe, where Islamic terror has struck twice since 9/11, in the Madrid train bombings and the London transit attacks, the silent tributes were tinged with doubts and recriminations.
Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel — an advocate of repairing ties with Washington that were frayed under her predecessor Gerhard Schroeder — had veiled criticism of the United States, saying: "The ends cannot justify the means."
"In the fight against international terror ... respect for human rights, tolerance and respect for other cultures must be the maxim of our actions, along with decisiveness and international cooperation," she said.
The international landscape has changed irreversibly since terrorists hijacked four airliners in 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another into a Pennsylvania field.
Adding to the global jitters, a senior al-Qaida leader issued a new warning.
"You gave us every legitimacy and every opportunity to continue fighting you," said Ayman al-Zawahri, addressing the United States. "You should worry about your presence in the (Persian) Gulf and the second place you should worry about is Israel."
Another video posted on the Internet by al-Qaeda showed previously unseen footage of a smiling
Osama bin Laden and other commanders in a mountain camp apparently planning the Sept. 11 attacks.
Allies in the U.S.-led war on terrorism renewed their resolve Monday to fight fanaticism, while skeptics countered that they can no longer follow a superpower they say has relinquished its right to lead.
"Right after Sept. 11 the world was united with Americans. Their moral leadership was unquestioned," Pawel Zalewski, head of the Polish parliament's foreign relations committee, wrote in the Gazeta Wyborcza. "However, this strong moral authority was abused as a result of the Iraq
war."
Exactly five years after its message of solidarity, Le Monde titled its lead editorial "The Mistakes of Bush."
In Caracas, Venezuela, about 200 marchers protested what they called "imperialist terrorism" carried out by the United States since the 9/11 attacks. Demonstrators — many of them supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and some of Arab descent — carried Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian flags. Many criticized the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani
wrote President Bush on behalf of the Iraqi people, expressing condolences to the families of Sept. 11 victims.
"On this sad and memorable day, I would like to reiterate the gratitude of the people of Iraq for the people of America and for your leadership," Talabani wrote. "The people of Iraq will never forget those who helped them in getting rid of the most brutal and terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein."
New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark joined many when she said: "No, we're not more secure since 9/11."
HURRICANE
Monday's storm injures no one from Bermuda
BY ELIZABETH ROBERTS ASSOCIATED PRESS
Some people, however, were unfazed by the latest storm to hit the island chain, which enforces strict building codes to withstand rough weather.
Rowena Smith, an employee at the Reefs, a cliffside resort on the vulnerable south shore, said about 50 guests checked out Saturday but more than 80 stayed to ride out the storm. "They're in high spirits. We have a lot of repeaters in house, and they're having fun," Smith said.
HAMILTON, Bermuda — Hurricane Florence blew out windows, peeled away several roofs and knocked out power to thousands in Bermuda on Monday before churning past the wealthy British island chain.
At least 18,000 homes and businesses were without power late Monday afternoon in the British territory of 65,000 permanent residents, according to Bermuda's electric company. Crews with the territory's utility were trying to fix damaged lines across the island chain.
The center of the storm was about 195 miles north of Bermuda at 8 p.m. EDT, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami. Florence was moving away from Bermuda to the northeast at 16 mph and was not expected to threaten the U.S., forecasters said.
Authorities said there were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. Tourists remained sheltered inside resort hotels and officials urged all islanders to stay at home until the second hurricane of the Atlantic season no longer posed a danger.
The Category 1 hurricane had maximum sustained winds near 85 mph late Monday, forecasters said. A wind gust of 78 mph was recorded at Bermuda's airport.
However, the storm was causing high surf and strong rip currents along parts of the eastern U.S. coast, about 640 miles west of Bermuda.
Florence was expected to weaken as wind shear increases and ocean temperatures cool, forecasters said. The storm was expected to pass close to or over Newfoundland
later in the week.
Strong bands of wind and rain have hammered the British territory since Sunday.
Bermuda International Airport was closed late Saturday and was expected to remain shuttered until Tuesday morning. All ferry and bus services were halted. Public schools and government offices were ordered closed Monday.
Authorities were keeping a part-time regiment on call to help respond to the hurricane at strategic points, including a causeway linking the main island with St. George's parish.
Part of the causeway, which the government closed to traffic Sunday night until the storm passed, was swept away when Fabian struck.
Bermuda's building codes specify that homes must be built with walls at least 8 inches thick, and be able to withstand 150 mph gusts and sustained winds of 110 mph. Many power and phone lines are underground.
At the Fairmont Hamilton Princess, the hotel distributed a disaster plan which included provisions for evacuation. Other hotels, playing up Bermuda's vaunted ability to withstand a fierce storm, planned "hurricane parties" for their remaining guests in the honeymoon and tax haven.
The last major storm to strike Bermuda was Hurricane Fabian in 2003. The storm — the strongest to hit the territory in 50 years — killed four people, tore the roofs off several homes and left many of the territory's famed golf courses in ruins.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Gordon formed Monday in the open Atlantic and was expected to head in the general direction of Bermuda, forecasters said. At 5 p.m. EDT, Gordon had top sustained winds near 45 mph and was located about 425 miles northeast of the Leeward Islands.
"It's just too early to say about the threat to Bermuda," said National Weather Service hurricane specialist Eric Blake. "Even if (Gordon) were to move in the direction of Bermuda, it would still be a few days away."
The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.

High school pre-engineering programs grow in popularity

DEATH
Anna Nicole's son dies unexpectedly
Drugs, alcohol ruled out as factors
BY JESSICA ROBERTSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith died while visiting his mother in the hospital where the reality TV star and former Playboy playmate had given birth last week, a Bahamas police official said Monday.
Daniel Wayne Smith was visiting his mother in her room at Doctors Hospital in Nassau when he died Sunday, Reginald Ferguson, assistant commissioner of the Royal Bahamian Police Force, told The Associated Press. He said an autopsy was under way.
Smith arrived Saturday night in the Bahamas, and apparently went directly to the hospital where he spent the night in his mother's room, Ferguson said.
"It would appear from our report that the mother had gotten up, saw him in the chair and he appeared to
be sound asleep," he said. "She tried to wake him up, he was unresponsive, and she sounded the alarm."
Medical personnel arrived and pronounced him dead at the scene, Ferguson said.
》SEPT.11
Anna Nicole Smith, 38, gave birth to a healthy 6-pound, 9-ounce girl at the hospital Thursday, her Web site said.
"Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing, human being," a statement on the site said. It said that drugs or alcohol were not believed to be a factor.
Daniel Smith was the product of Smith's 1985 marriage to Billy Smith. The couple, who met while working together at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Texas, divorced in 1987.
Her son had traveled to the Caribbean country "to share in the joy of his baby sister," the statement said.
Controversial ABC miniseries airs despite creative liberties
BY DAVID BAUDER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Editing changes made by ABC to the first part of its miniseries "The Path to 9/11" were cosmetic and didn't change the meaning of scenes that had angered several former Clinton administration officials, a spokesman for the former president said Monday.
Former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke, now an ABC News consultant, denounced the movie Monday as an "egregious distortion."
The docudrama also divided the two chairmen of the commission that looked into the attacks, who usually present a united front on terrorism issues.
As for Clinton, he didn't bother watching the movie that angered so many people who once worked for him.
"He made the choice that most Americans made," Jay Carson, spokesman for the Clinton Foundation said. "Of a fictional-
ized drama version of Sept. 11 or the Manning brothers playing football against one another, he chose the latter."
The movie was beaten soundly in the ratings by the regular-season debut of NBC's "Sunday Night Football," matching Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts against younger brother Eli of the New York Giants.
The National Football League game had an estimated 20.7 million viewers, while "The Path to 9/11" had 13 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The ABC movie did, however, beat CBS' third airing of a 9/11 documentary, which was seen by an estimated 10.6 million people, Nielsen said.
during two nights.
ABC resisted calls to cancel the $40 million miniseries, airing commercial-free
Part two was scheduled for Monday, with an interruption for President Bush's address to the nation.
Several scenes were cut or changed from the first part of a movie ABC has stressed is a dramatization, not a documentary.
"You can take out some of the more dramatic details," Carson said, "but it is still utterly and completely false."
Clarke said the movie "is an egregious distortion that does a deep disservice both to history and to those in both the Clinton and Bush administrations who are depicted."
ABC hired a production company and screenwriter who were unqualified for the job, he said.
"There is throughout the screenplay a consistent bias and distortion seeking to portray senior Clinton administration officials as holding back the hard-charging CIA, FBI and military officers who would otherwise have prevented 9/11," he said. "The exact opposite is true."
Former New Jersey Gov, Thomas Kean, the Republican co-leader of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, was criticized
for consulting ABC on the project.
Kean said Monday at the National Press Club that he thought it was a responsible project and that "I think they did a pretty good job."
But the Democratic co-head of the 9/11 commission, former Rep. Lee Hamilton of Indiana, said he agreed with the Clinton administration critics, although he acknowledged not watching it Sunday.
"It is either a documentary or it is a drama. And to fudge it causes me a great deal of concern and suggests to me that news and entertainment are getting dangerously intertwined," he said. "And I do not think that is good for the country."
One scene, in a copy of the movie given to TV critics a few weeks ago, indicated President Clinton's preoccupation with his potential impeachment may have hurt the effort to go after Osama bin Laden.
In the original scene, an actor portraying Clarke shares a limousine ride with FBI agent John O'Neill and tells him: "The
Republicans are going all-out for impeachment. I just don't see in that climate the president's going to take chances" and give the order to kill bin Laden.
But in the film aired Sunday, Clarke says to O'Neill: "The president has assured me this ... won't affect his decision-making."
Another scene in the critics' cut showed Clarke saying he didn't know what Clinton was going to do about bin Laden.
"The Lewinsky thing is a noose around his neck," the actor portraying Clarke says.
This was cut entirely from the film that aired Sunday.
Another scene in the movie that depicted a team of CIA operatives poised outside of bin Laden's fortress in Afghanistan, ready to attack, was substantially shortened from the original.
Pictures of the waiting Afghanistan operatives are interspersed with those of officials in Washington, who had to approve the mission.
The original version depicted national security adviser Samuel R. Berger hanging up on CIA chief George Tenet as Tenet sought permission to attack bin Laden.
The movie aired Sunday did not include BERger hanging up.
Left unchanged was a scene depicting the aftermath of an order by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to alert the Pakistanis ahead of time about an airstrike against bin Laden, which Tenet said let the al-Qaida leader slip away.
Clinton officials claim this, as well as the Berger-Tenet scene, didn't happen.
The network de-emphasized the role of the commission that investigated the terrorist attacks in its film, omitting a note in the opening credits that the film is "based on the 9/11 commission report."
Critics, such as historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., said it was "disinguenuous and dangerous" not to include accurate historical accounts in the movie.

Online ad sparks controversy Post meant to showcase lack of Internet privacy
BY ANICK JESDANUN ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — At first glance, the posting looked like any number of Internet classified ads explicitly seeking sex. But instead of the 27-year-old woman with long brown hair advertised in the posting, a Seattle-area graphic designer collected the replies and posted them online - with photos, names and contact information.
Privacy experts say the case treads the line legally but crosses it morally.
It all began with Jason Fortuny's posting on the online community Craigslist. According to his Web journal, Fortuny took a real ad and reposted it so that responses went straight to him. Among
the 178 responses were 145 photos of men "in various states of undress." The replies included e-mail addresses, names and in some cases, instant-messaging accounts and phone numbers.
Internet vigilantes have engaged spammers and scam artists and posted results of their conversations online. Others expose sexual predators they purposely seek out in chat rooms.
It's by no means the first time information thought private gets posted online.
Fortuny then posted all the replies on a Web site devoted to parodies and satires online.
In this case, however, the men who replied to Fortuny's posting did not appear to be doing anything illegal, so the outing has no social value other than to prove that someone could ruin
Whether Fortuny violated any laws is less clear, he said.
lives online, Jonathan Zittrain,
a law professor at Oxford and
Harvard universities, said.
"it's one of those questions that could find its way onto a law school exam because it is comparatively new territory," Zittrain said.
Fortuny did not immediately respond to e-mails from The Associated Press, and calls Monday to his telephone number generated a message saying the subscriber "is not in service."
Craiglist Chief Executive Jim Buckmaster told the AP in an e-mail that Fortuny's actions violated the site's policies. He noted that the ad in question was removed several times, only to be reposted.

OPINION
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Steffes has argued that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and preempts state law. These arguments have brought him little success, as judges have upheld the ban in municipal and district courts.
OUR VIEW
Wrong to challenge ban
Steffes has contended that the ordinance's wording on how the ban should be enforced is vague. Use some common sense: If smokers refuse to put out their cigarettes, ask them to leave. If
Should it be legal for a person to urinate in your beverage without your consent? Of course not. Nor should it be legal to smoke in public places, as defined in the city's "Smoking in Public Places" ordinance.
Dennis Steffes, owner of Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St. and Coyote's, 1003 E. 23rd St. opposes the 28-month-old smoking ban. Steffes has already lost twice in court, but he filed an appeal and the Kansas Supreme Court recently agreed to hear his case.
they resist, call the police.
He has also contended that the ordinance unlawfully preempts state laws regulating smoking. Municipal Court Judge Randy McGrath already correctly ruled that the ordinance does not preempt state law. State law allows local governments to create ordinances limiting public smoking as long as they are as rigid as state law.
Steffes should observe the law like other Lawrence bar owners, many of whom have already spent money renovating their businesses to provide outdoor areas where patrons can smoke.
Steffes will likely lose; legal experts say that his arguments will be difficult ones to make.
If the ban is upheld, Steffes will have done little more than to waste taxpayers' money in pursuing his selfish, unhealthy cause.

COMMENTARY
Gay men need to accept each other before public can
I recently had a friend of a friend tell my friend that he wouldn't date me because of my political affiliation. I had no chance to explain why I think the way I do or to show that I offer more than just political rhetoric. His quick judgment seems rather petty, don't you think?
Gaming, NASCAR, camping (of the hike-up-a-mountain-and-crapin-a-hole-you-dug variety) and so many other "abnormal" activities all seem contradictory to the shopaholic, club-going gay stereotype. What I deem as the "gay standard" was actually taught to students in a class at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
According to a September 2001 article in The American Enterprise, Professor David Halperin was scheduled to teach a class that included discussion of "diva-worship, drag, muscle culture, taste, style and political activism," among other things. His explanation for teaching the class is as offensive as his curriculum: "Just because you happen to be a gay man doesn't mean that you don't have to learn how to become one." Halperin said.
Acceptance of gays by gays is a problem that spans more than just the political spectrum. It involves the recognition, or lack thereof, of gays who don't conform to mainstream gay culture. For a community that advocates open-mindedness and tolerance, it's baffling to witness the ignorance and prejudice in regards to gays who have differing interests on any level.

On University's birthday, a reminder of its history
Today the University of Kansas is 140 years old, and it seems appropriate that its birthday falls a day after the anniversary of a national tragedy because this University was born out of tragedy.
The Civil War ended less than two years before the founding of the University, but despite the 600,000 American deaths, this was not the tragedy that bore this institution.
The tragedy that bore this University was slavery, the inhuman treatment of nearly 4 million people who were raped of their liberty and dignity.
Settlers came frbm New England to make this territory a free state,
built Lawrence in 1854 and rebuilt it in 1863 after William Quantrill's Bushwackers burnt most of the city to the ground. Twelve years after the founding of Lawrence, they established the University, the first on the Great Plains.

According to KU Info, the University ranks fourth among public universities in the number of students it sends to institutions abroad. The advisors in the Office of Study Abroad are almost relentless in their recruitment, hosting numerous fairs and informational meetings in an effort to persuade students to study abroad.
If you don't know where you want to art, they'll help you figure it out: art in Florence, engineering in Wales or biology in Costa Rica — it's all good. You can choose English language instruction or full foreign language immersion. Personally, I was too chicken to go to Bonn and speak entirely in German.
Britain is one of the most American-like countries available, but is still strikingly different. They speak their own brand of English and generally have significantly different national quirks that I'm very excited to uncover.
We're constantly reminded that we live in a global society. In order to remain competitive, we must be able to adapt to different cultures, be proficient in foreign languages and above all, be self-sufficient. Studying abroad can help us achieve this, while also providing an amazing social and academic experience.
I admit there are drawbacks. The constant shuffling of paperwork, travel arrangements and visa applications are a headache, and the price tag can be cost prohibitive (although out-of-state students are charged in-state tuition, and scholarships are available). However, the experience of being independent in a foreign country, and the doors this can open—on resumes and in the pursuit of jobs, internships, graduate school and prestigious Rhodes and Marshall scholarships — are probably worth the effort and money expended.
I knew that I wanted to focus on international relations and European studies while in Reading, so I tailored my schedule accordingly. A classmate of mine last fall went to France for a semester to take general education requirements and loved it so much she changed her major to French. There's no reason why studying abroad has to mean late graduation or rigid course options. If you're majoring in it here, you can take courses in it somewhere else.

Bush addresses anniversary
President visits targets of attacks, defends continued fighting
BY TERENCE HUNT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Five years after the worst terror attack in U.S. history, President Bush said Monday night the war against terrorism was "the calling of our generation" and urged Americans to put aside differences and fight to victory.
"America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over," Bush said. "The war is not over — and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious."
Bush, in a prime-time address from the Oval Office, staunchly defended the war in Iraq even though he acknowledged that Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
He said Saddam's regime, while lacking weapons of mass destruction, was a threat that posed "a risk
the world could not afford to take." At least 2,600 U.S. servicemen and women have died in Iraq, which Bush calls the central front in the war on terror.
"Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq, the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone," the president said. "They will not leave us alone. They will follow us."
The address came at the end of a day in which Bush honored the memory of the attacks that rocked his presidency and thrust the United States into a costly and unfinished war against terror.
It was a day of mourning, remembrance and resolve. Before his address, Bush visited New York, Shanksville, Pa., and the Pentagon to place wreaths and console relatives of the victims.
Bush said that Osama bin Laden,
the mastermind of the attack, and
other terrorists were still in hiding.
"Our message to them is clear: No matter how long it takes, America will find you and we will bring you to justice."
Bush said the war on terror was nothing less than "a struggle for civilization" and must be fought to the end. He said defeat would surrender the Middle East to radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons.
He said Islamic radicals were trying to build an empire "where women are prisoners in their homes, men are beaten for missing prayer meetings and terrorists have a safe haven to plan and launch attacks on America and other civilized nations."
"Our nation has endured trials, and we face a difficult road ahead," the president said. "Winning this war will require the determined efforts of a unified country. So we must put aside our differences and work together to meet the test that history has given us."

Students march in Freedom Walk
BY JOHN MILBURN ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT RILEY - Under gray skies, 520 red, white and blue-clad students marched Monday to remember the Sept.11 attacks.
Within the next month, 85 percent of the students at Fort Riley's Ware Elementary School will have at least one parent marching off to war.
The students participated in a Freedom Walk in the neighborhood adjacent to their school, making the mile-long trek with flags, a marching band and plenty of military presence. Chants of "U-S-A" echoed off homes, punctuated by cannon fire.
Fourth-grader Noah Kelly, whose father has been in Iraq, had a hard
time explaining why he marched and what all the excitement was about. His conclusion was "so that we could honor the soldiers that died and served the Army and honor the people who helped in 9/11 who died."
Katie Parnell watched as her husband, Sgt. Michael Parnell, joined his fifth-grade daughter Elena marching through the neighborhood. The sergeant, like most at Fort Riley, has had one tour in Iraq.
Across Kansas, schools and communities marked the fifth anniversary with speeches and ceremonies around flagpoles, where the flag was lowered to half-staff. Churches planned evening services to remember the more than 2,700 people who died in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, including two men from Kansas.
Katie Parnell had her daughter read about the attacks and pay more attention recently to the news to understand why her father had to go to war.
"She's learning," Katie Parnell said. "She was in kindergarten. She really didn't know until now. I told her that when she has kids, they will understand that this was history that she has lived through."
Principal Deb Gustafson said the event was a way for students to say 'thank you' to the soldiers, their parents and others for their sacrifices in defending the nation. She had been principal at the school for little more than a month when the attacks occurred.

First road game will test Kansas
P. N. R. S.
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
This year's Kansas football team will make its national television debut on ESPN2 Friday night. Luckily hardly anyone will be watching. It could get ugly.
The Louisiana-Monroe game was a pathetic performance, but the jayhawks probably deserve a free pass. After all, they did win the game, which is all that matters. And despite what coach Mark Mangino
had to say, that the team didn't overlook ULM, it probably did.
Speculation aside, what Kansas showed against ULM was that it is not ready for the first big test of the season: at Toledo on national television. The game

is on the road, which is ominous for Kansas. If it can barely defeat ULM at home, how will it play against better competition, especially considering its recent struggles away from Memorial Stadium?
Mangino's road record in his first four seasons is a dismal 3-17 and only one of his three victories was a conference game. That record won't improve this season unless Kansas does, which is a possibility. With sophomore cornerback Agib Talib's return to help the pass defense and plenty of young players with room for improvement, Kansas will likely be much better by the end of the season.
season.
But the Toledo game is up next and Kansas needs this victory. By defeating Toleo Mangino would prove that he has a clue about how to win on the road. It would give Kansas a 3-0 record, which is half-way to a bowl game. Most of all it would give the young team a much-needed confidence boost heading into the conference season, where four road games wait: Nebraska, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri.
I just don't see it happening
I just don't see it happen. The Rockets aren't pushovers like the lajahwaks' previous opponents. Despite their 0-2 record, they should be favored to win because they don't have a victory yet. They are desperate and at home for the first time.
first time.
Toledo was impressive against Iowa State, forcing three overtimes in Ames, Iowa. Kansas can't count on Toledo settling for field goals if Kyle Tucker fumbles a snap deep in Jayhawk territory.
The Toledo game will be freshman Kerry Meier's first road trip, which is troubling. How will he do with a large crowd drowning out his signals at the line of scrimmage for the first time in his college career? That remains to be seen, but if he wants to become the type of quarterback he's been made out to be he has to handle the pressures that come with playing away from home.
Rokinett is an Austin, Texas, senior in Journalism.
This Friday's game will answer many questions still surrounding the lajayh football team after two mediocre home victories, but only one question matters: Can Kansas win on the road? If it wants to get to bigger and better places in college football, it must be able to.

Coach says maturity, hard work pays off

"The bike guy had some difficulties," Wissel said. "I was kind of scared that I was going to get lost."
MANHATTAN — After pulling away from the pack, junior Colby Wissel made another push, this time to pass the man on a bicycle who directs the competitors through the course.
Wissel won the Kansas State Wildcat Invitational - his second consecutive victory at the event - and shaved nearly 20 seconds off his time with a 14:57.20 performance.
The Jayhawk men and women both won the team portion of the event, held on Friday evening in Manhattan.

"It's a matter of maturity and how they are training," he said.
The two teams tied last year, but the men easily defeated the Wildcats this season 25-30. It was a much closer margin for the women, who won 28-29. Juniors Alicia McGregor and Lisa Morrisley led the team, placing third and fourth. McGregor's time was 18:50.20 and Morrisey's time was 18:58.60.

Players use Saturday's performance as a learning experience
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Kerry Meter might have been satisfied with his stat line from Saturday's victory if it came against a Big 12 foe, but his performance against Louisiana-Monroe left him wanting more from himself and the offense.
After Kansas' 21-19 victory against ULM, the freshman quarterback, who went 16 of 27 for 185 yards, said the offense missed opportunities to build its lead, but would use the game as a learning experience.
"We will just look at the film, take it all in and carry it over to next week," Meier said following Saturday's gume.
On Friday, Kansas takes on a Toledo team that's prone to giving up serious points. In its two games this season — both losses — the Rockets have given up an average of 38 points. Though one of those games went to triple overtime.
That appears to be good news for a Kansas offense that was hot and cold on Saturday against Lousiana-Monroe. While the Jayhawks did mount three 80-yard scoring drives, they also failed to record a first down on seven drives.
Despite some sluggish play at times, the offense and Meier did show some improvement. The quarterback took more chances with downfield passes, connecting deep passes on each of the scorings

On the three scoring drives, Meier appeared sharp, going 10-for-12 passing, throwing two touchdowns and running for another
Meier's first completion — on the team's first scoring drive — was a deep pass to sophomore Marcus Herford for 29 yards down the right side.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said that he was encouraged by his team's three long scoring drives, but that the team had to maintain the momentum it gained off its touchdowns.
"We just weren't in synch at times," Mangino said.

Season looks promising for soccer club Men's team adds ten new players, works toward this year's championship
BY KAYVON SARRAF
The University of Kansas men's club soccer team is not worried about placing high hopes on its shoulders entering the 2006 season.
Success is the norm for a program that has won its region and competed in the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association's Collegiate Soccer Sport Club Championships in four of the past five seasons.
"Anything short of winning our region and going back to nationals would be a disappointment," said Mike Kutz, St. Louis senior. "We need to win our region in order to qualify for nationals and we've gotten to the point where we expect to win it."
The Jayhawks' best performance at nationals came two seasons ago in Tuscaloosa, Ala., where the team lost in the quarterfinals.
If the team is unable to qualify for the championship division at nationals this season it will likely still travel to Arizona State University to participate in the tournament's open division Nov. 16 to Nov. 18.
The pursuit of the national tournament got off to a sour note Friday night in Manhattan, where the Jayhawks fell to Kansas State 2-1.
"It was a tough loss. We had some good opportunities and were pretty unlucky. We have some new guys and once we get a chance to jell we should be real solid," said Adam Evans, Kinewood, Tex., senior.
The team adds 10 new players
to a 22-member squad that lost to ev-ntual-champion Missouri in a shoutout in the regional semifinals last year.
"We're a lot deeper this year. We're basically two-deep at every position to the point where all our starters could leave the game and there wouldn't be much of a drop-off", said Kutz, a goaltender.
The team is led by captains Sean Strull, Garland, Texas, junior, and Thomas Sunderland, Overland Park junior. Strull led the team in scoring last season.
This season's games include a return trip to Manhattan for the Ed Chartrand Memorial Soccer Tournament. The Jayhawks won the tournament when they reached it two seasons ago.
Up next is the team's home opener against Wichita State at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Shenk Sports Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets.
"Friday's loss was a tough one. We're looking forward to getting a chance to bounce back on Saturday. If we play as well as we can, we shouldn't lose any more league games," said Alex Brand, Eden Prairie, Minn., senior and club president said.
This year, the team plans to raise funds by selling T-shirts and sweatshirts.

Jayhawks preview difficult course Kansas finishes in fifth place after strong second day of play
BY ASHER FUSCO
Coach Ross Randall wanted his team to compete in the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate in order to give the golfers a taste of the course that awaits them later this season in the NCAA regional tournament. As it turns out, the team's experience at Rich Harvest Farms could be invaluable considering the unforgiving nature of the course.
After going through some early jitters the layhawks enjoyed a strong final round en route to a fifth-place finish in Sugar Grove, III., this past weekend.
Things did not look good for Kansas when play ended on Saturday. Senior Tyler Docking was the only Jayhawk near even par.
Senior Gary Woodland was forced to curtail a frustrating first round when play was suspended

Senior Barrett Martens recovered from a rough first round to finish tied for 39th with an overall score of 238. Sophomore Zach Pederson brought up the
rear for the Jayhawks with a total score of 242, tied for 51st place.
The most pleasant surprise of the weekend came from freshman Bobby Knowles. Knowles, competing in his first collegiate tournament, showed some inexperience early, firing back-to-back 80s in rounds one and two. He showed consistency from the tee box but struggled on the greens, three-putting several holes.
Louisville finished first overall with a final score of 895. Other notables include Big 12 rivals Kansas State, Colorado and Missouri, which finished tied for 2nd, 4th, and 11th respectively. Overall individual honors went to Louisville's Derek Fathauer, who posted a total of 221.

DENVER — The new NCAA rules designed to shorten football games are actually diminishing the time-honored experience for fans and players alike, say several Big 12 coaches who are exasperated by the changes.
The NCAA implemented rules this season to keep the clock running more. The result has been an average of 12.6 fewer combined plays, Ty Halpin, NCAA associate director of playing rules administration, said.
Some schools, however, have experienced drastic declines in their number of offensive plays. Colorado ran just 48 plays last week against Colorado State in a game that lasted just 2:48, more than 45 minutes shorter than the Buffs average game a year ago.
Under the new rules, clocks start on kickoffs rather than when the receiving team touches the ball. After a change in possession, the clock restarts when the ball is marked for play and not the ensuing snap. And kicking tees were shortened by an inch to limit the number of clock-stopping touch-backs.
"I hate it," said Texas coach Mack Brown. "I just think one of the greatest things about college football was the ability for teams to come back. And now the great plays right before the half, at the end of the game, are more limited than they used to be."
Brown noted that last weekend's matchup with Ohio State was 22 minutes shorter than the Longhorns' big game against the
--presented by The University of Kansas Department of Theatre & Film University Theatre Co-sponsored by Headmasters
Buckeyes last year.
"A little under 10 percent of the game is gone." Brown said. "And I don't think that's fair to the fans."
Halpin said the NCAA doesn't track the time of games, which last year averaged 3:20 for televised games and 3:03 for nontelevised games. Several approached the four-hour mark.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said it's silly to think college football fans want less of a good thing.
"I'm not excited about it. I don't know that our fans are," he said. "We have 85,000 people at our games. Many people travel great distances, some travel five to six hours. I don't know that they come to see a quick game, to see a game played in three hours."
In Denver, Colorado (48) and Colorado State (58) ran 106 combined plays, the fourth-fewest in a CU game since 1946. In the modern era, the only game that featured a similarly low number of plays was Colorado's game against Nebraska on Nov. 7, 1961, when the teams combined for 106 plays in a snowstorm in Lincoln.
"You are seeing it have an effect on games and I think it's going to have an effect on the overall climate of college football." Buffalooes coach Dan Hawkins said, "I don't think you're going to see the dramatic comebacks that you have in the past."
Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione said the new rules have unleveled the playing field because they will diminish offensive statistics, making it more difficult for teams or individuals to establish records.

who participated in the event last year improved their times significantly. Redwine credited their off-season workouts and their maturity.
The Jayhawks will have this week to continue training before they head to Minnesota to compete in the Roy Griak Invitational. The team is considering this the first regular-season meet of the year.
"We are looking forward to Minnesota and continuing our training and practice, with the hope that it will pay off in the
future," Redwine said.
They ran a 5K in Manhattan, but the Minnesota event will be a full 6K.
Senior Benson Chesang will also make his debut. Redwine said he held Chesang out of the first events of the year to keep his legs fresh.

Part of that lack of rhythm can be contributed to ULM's defensive switches at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary to confuse Kansas' young quarterback. Meier said the switches were expected and the team planned for it in its practices last week.
FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"They just came out and were more aggressive," Meter said. "But luckily we played well enough to get the victory."
For the third-straight game, senior running back Jon Cornish rushed for at least 100 yards. Cornish has fared well so far this season, totaling nearly 250 yards in two games. He
averaged nearly five yards per carry against ULM.
Between Cornish and Meter, Kansas was able to find a balance between the pass and run, which is something Mangino hoped to establish with the offense.
After looking at tape of Saturday's game, Mangino said that the key for the offense's improvement was being able to eliminate some mistakes and breakdowns, but that the offense was on the right track.
"We're playing well," he said. "I can see our team improving as we go and we need to continue that progress and play well."

Mangino said hed prefer for Friday night to remain exclusively for high school football, he had no choice but to schedule the game on a Friday.

TOUR DE FRANCE
Review board to investigate winner's drug test results
BY EDDIE PELLS ASSOCIATED PRESS
The attorney for Floyd Landis asked Monday that doping charges be dismissed, hinting for the first time at the Tour de France winner's official defense — that his positive testosterone tests were flawed and did not meet World Anti-Doping Agency standards.
France.
in a letter sent to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, attorney Howard Jacobs disputed the accuracy of the carbon isotope ratio tests performed on Landis' urine sample at a lab in
France.
Jacobs also argued the analysis of a different test, the testosterone-epitestosterone analysis, "Is replete with fundamental, gross errors." including mismatched sample code numbers. Jacobs said the positive finding on the backup 'B' sample came from a sample number not assigned to Landis.
"It's incredibly sloppy" work, Jacobs said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It has to make you wonder about the accuracy of the work."
Both Landis and USADA had
representatives at the testing of the 'B' sample.
USADA general counsel Travis Tygart said the doping agency couldn't comment on specific cases but noted it is not unusual for athletes and their attorneys to seek dismissal of cases.
"Our standard process allows all athletes to make a submission to the USADA review board, and those submissions are seriously considered prior to any case going forward," Tygart said.
A review board is expected to
issue a recommendation on Landis' case sometime in the next week. That process could be delayed if USADA responds directly to Jacobs' letter.
If the review board recommends sanctions against Landis, he is expected to appeal and ask for an arbitration hearing. Jacobs has said he would seek a public hearing, and USADA has said it would agree to that.
Landis issued a statement reasserting his innocence.
"I did not take testosterone or
any other performance-enhancing substance, and I'm very happy that the science is confirming my innocence," he said. "I was relieved, but not surprised, when I learned that scientific experts found problems with the test."
Dr. Gary Wadler, a member of WADA and a spokesman for the American College of Sports Medicine, said Landis' attempt to have the charges dismissed by questioning the science behind the tests wasn't unusual.

Rams' season debut reversal of last season
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
"It's nothing major, no setback," Kennedy said. "Just keep going."
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Rams defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy broke his right hand on his second play, had a cast put on and got back on the field as soon as he could.
The performance made new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, head coach of the Saints the previous six seasons, an instant hero. Haslett's aggressive schemes and ability to rapidly blend five new starters bailed out an offense designed by first-year head coach Scott Linehan.
Nobody wanted to niss a snap of the team's surprisingly dominant debut. The Rams defense, ranked 30th overall in the NFL a year ago, pushed around the Denver Broncos in an opening 18-10 victory on Sunday.
"You know what, players made plays," Haslett said Monday. "They want to be one of the better defenses in the league, and they work at it."
Defensive end Leonard Little.
the best of the holdovers, had been reading all summer about how that side of the ball was again going to be the Rams' liability. The Broncos, annually one of the league's best offensive teams, found out how much the defense has progressed.
"Nobody on this planet gave us a chance to win this game," Little said. "It really got me going, and it's going to keep me going the rest of the year just to try to prove people wrong and try to prove critics wrong."
The Rams' first-team offense, which did not score a touchdown in 11 preseason possessions, again came up empty in the opener, leaning on Jeff Wilkins' franchise-record six field goals. St. Louis won without scoring a touchdown, and was 0-for-5 inside the 20 — not counting kneel-downs at the finish.
St. Louis forced five turnovers, setting the tone with takeaways on three straight possessions in the first half.
"That's not surprising," Little said. "This defense is based on getting turnovers. That's what Coach Haslett said from the get-go."

Cardinals pitcher out for hip injury Practice helps player recover from shot; return date still unknown
ST.LOUIS - Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen received a cortisone shot for his ailing hip on Monday, and St. Louis said he won't be used until the weekend.
Isringhausen has not pitched since: Wednesday, when he blew his career-high 10th save in 43 chances.
After giving up two runs in the ninth inning of a 7-6 loss at Washington, he said the hip had been bothering him.

Edmonds did not accompany the team on a 2-5 trip. He worked out Sunday and said he felt "a little funny" when he stepped up the intensity of the workout, but took batting practice for the first time in more than a week.
Eckstein took ground balls for about 15 minutes Monday and said he was close to returning, although he didn't know if it would be during this homestand. He took batting practice indoors off a machine.

The Cardinals also began a six-game homestand without center fielder Jim Edmonds and shortstop David Eckstein. Edmonds has made one start in the last 22 games due to post-concussion syndrome, and Eckstein missed his 22nd game with a strained left side muscle.
Edmonds said he had been experiencing fewer headaches.

Vikings have what it takes to win big
Team proves itself in victory against Washington Redskins Monday night

Nick Wass/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Minnesota Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell (8) follows through on his 31-yard field goal against the Washington Redskins to put the Vikings up for good 19-16 during the fourth quarter of a football game, Monday in Landover, Md. Vikings holder is Chris Kuehler (5).
BY JOSEPH WHITE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANDOVER, Md. — The Minnesota Vikings have a new coach, a new attitude, and an old quarterback who knows how to win.
Brad Johnson led a 54-yard fourth-quarter drive, capped by Ryan Longwell's 31-yard goal with one minute remaining, to give the Vikings a 19-16 victory against the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
The victory made Brad Childress a winner in his head coaching debut, and made Johnson a winner for the 66th time as a starter two days before his 38th birthday. Johnson, who completed 16 of 30 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown, has won an impressive 61 percent (66 of 109) of his starts with four teams in his 15-year career.
"To win is big, but to not only win, but to win against a team that was in the playoffs last year, in their home environment, Monday night, all the things that go in their favor," Minnesota safety Darren Sharper said. "That just shows how battletested we are. That's what coach has expressed to us all camp — he wants a hardened unit."
The Redskins had a chance to tie after Longwell's kick, but John
Hall — who has struggled with leg injuries for the last two years — was wide left with a poorly hit 48-yard field goal attempt with 12 seconds remaining.
"My heart was kind of stopping there," Johnson said. "I was tying my shoes getting ready for an overtime game. Fortunately, it went a little wide left for us and turned out great."
Chester Taylor, the Vikings' free agent signing from Baltimore, rushed 31 times for 88 yards and a touchdown, upstaging Clinton Portis' surprise return for Washington. Portis, who spent the week downplaying his chances for the game because of a shoulder injury, entered the game late during the Redskins' first drive and finished with 39 yards on 10 carries.
The loss subdued a Washington crowd that turned the stadium into a sea of fluttering red, white and blue as they waved American flags to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The attendance was 90,608, a new record for the largest stadium in the NFL, and it included actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Dan Snyder's box. Cruise's production company recently signed a two-year financing deal with an investment partnership headed by the Redskins
owner.
The Vikings become the 10th road team to win in the NFL's opening weekend, the most in Week 1 since 1983, when there were 12 road winners.
A game that had no turnovers was decided with a winning Vikings drive that began at Minnesota's 33 with 5:34 remaining. A 13-yard pass to Troy Williamson converted a key third down, and 15 yards were added to the play when Redskins safety
Sean Taylor, grabbed Williamson's face mask.
From there, Chester Taylor carried five straight times to the Washington 13, forcing the Redskins to use all their timeouts before Longwell's winning kick.
The game featured a Hall of Fame coach (Joe Gibbs) against a first-time head coach making his debut, as well as two of the oldest quarterbacks in the league. Washington's Mark Brunell turns 36 on Sunday.

Cardinals beat Astros in 7-0 victory Monday
Ending St. Louis' three-game losing streak victory puts St. Louis in lead for NL Central
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter threw a six-hitter and Ronnie Belliard had four RBIs, helping the St. Louis Cardinals take advantage of a fill-in starter in a 7-0 victory against the Houston Astros on Monday night.
Juan Encarnacion had two RBIs for the Cardinals, who dominated in the first of seven meetings with the Astros over the final 20 games. St. Louis ended a three-game skid and leads the NL Central by five games over Cincinnati and six over the Astros, who beat them in the NLCS last year to go to the World Series.
Taylor Buchholz was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to sub for Andy Pettite, who was pushed back a day because of a heavy workload and a minor ankle sprain. Buchholz (6-10) made his first appearance for Houston since July 27 and allowed five runs in 3 1-3 innings.
Carpenter (14-6) is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts. He lowered his NL-leading ERA to 2.84 with his fourth compete game of the season and third shutout, which tied Arizona's Brandon Webb for the major league lead.
Carpenter struck out six and walked two, raising his career record against Houston to 5-2 with a 2.52 ERA. He has 24 career complete games and 12 shutouts.
He had been 0-1 against the Astros this season while allowing nine runs in 14 innings. The Astros were shut out for the second straight game, and 13th time overall, after Adam Wainwright worked the ninth.
Carpenter, the NL Cy Young Award winner last year, has worked eight or more innings in five of his last six starts.
Belliard had been in an 0-for-
20 slump before his RBI single off
Buchholz in the third. His three-
run triple off Fernando Nieve
capped a five-run inning that put
the Cardinals ahead 7-0.
Encarnacion had an RBI single in the third and drew a bases-loaded walk from Nieve in the fourth.
Five of the next six batters reached safely.
Astros shortstop Adam Everett committed two errors, one of them contributing to five unearned runs in the fourth. He lost his grip and double-pumped while preparing to throw on a grounder by Aaron Miles, and Miles ended up beating the throw with one out and none on.

Chiefs: Green's concussion 'very,very severe'
Question of whether Trent Green will play in this week's game against Denver is still up in the air
10
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Trent Green sustained a "very, very severe concussion" when his head was slammed into the ground by Cincinnati's Robert Geathers and will be hospitalized at least Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs said.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green is wheeled off the field after being tackled by Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Robert Geathers during the third quarter of the Chiefs game Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. The Chiefs defeated the Chiefs 23-10. Green is said to have suffered a severe concussion. His status for this weekend is in doubt.
"He's feeling much better," Chiefs President Carl Peterson said Monday.
Ed Zurga/ASSOCIATED PRESS
but he has a very king-sized headache. Hopefully he'll be able to go home tomorrow."
The two-time Pro bowl quarterback will be listed as questionable this week at Denver. Peterson said he didn't know when Green might return.
scored more touchdowns (262) and rushed for more TDs (131) than any other team in the league.
Losing Green for long could be devastating to the Chiefs. Starting at Denver will be journeyman Damon Huard, who until Sunday had not completed a pass in the NFL since Dec. 24, 2000. Behind Huard are rookies Brodie Croyle and Casey Printers, both of whom were unimpressive in the preseason.
"I think it was a late hit. I think it was obviously a very vicious hit, one that unfortunately Trent Green and the Kansas City Chiefs are paying for."
"There's no question this will test the football team," Peterson said. "Trent Green has been a tremendous leader for us both on and off the field. We're anticipating that Trent will get through this and get well and be back with us. At this point, though, I wouldn't put any time on it."
Protected by an outstanding offensive line and surrounded by stars such as Priest Holmes and Tony Gonzalez, Green started 80 straight games from 2001-2005, while Kansas City gained more yards (30,470).
"It will be a day-to-day, week-to-week evaluation by the doctors,"
CARL PETERSON Chief's President
Joining the Chiefs from St. Louis after surviving a career-threatening injury and undergoing four knee operations, Green passed for 20,117 yards and 111 touchdowns from 2001-2005 — numbers exceeded only by Peyton Manning.
said Peterson.
"Thank goodness he had no problems with his limbs."
Meanwhile, talk continued over the hit that knocked Green unconscious in the third quarter of Cincinnati's 23-10 victory.
Green, 36, one of the oldest starting quarterbacks in the NFL, was going feet-first into a hook slide right in front of the Chiefs bench. Geathers, possibly pushed from behind at least somewhat by Kansas City wide receiver Eddie Kennison, came flying in. Geathers' right shoulder slammed Green's chest and head and snapped the back of Green's head violently to the turf.
Officials did not call a foul, explaining to the enraged Chiefs sideline that Geathers' momentum had carried him into the player.
"In my opinion, I think it was a late hit. I think it was obviously a very vicious hit" Peterson said, "one that unfortunately Trent Green and the Kansas City Chiefs are paying a price for."
Peterson said he had reviewed film of the play Monday with league officials.
"They're drawing their conclusion and will make their decision later in the week," he said.
Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer said Monday that he had tried to call Green. When Palmer sustained a devastating knee injury
last January, Green called him with advice and encouragement.
"Everything I've heard is good," Palmer said. "I heard that he regained consciousness in the locker room, and he's going to be OK."
Palmer also defended Geathers.
"Knowing Robert, he's not a guy who likes to take cheap shots or really ever does take cheap shots. He was trying to make a tackle, he kind of got (blocked) low, almost like he fell into him. When you're 280 pounds and you're falling into a
Gonzalez said he didn't think it was a cheap shot. "He didn't hit him with his helmet," he added.

Wal-Mart expansion, grocery store opens today
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The Wal-Mart expansion at 3300 S. Iowa St., which added more than 90,000 sq. feet, was officially unveiled to the public with its grand opening this morning.
The food center, Wal-Mart's inhouse grocery store, also officially opened today. Wal-Mart is now 207.150 so feet in size.
Store manager Richard Chappelle said grocery stores were being added to current Wal-Mart stores and are being included in plans for new stores.
"The grocery business is the growth vehicle for Wal-Mart in the United States," he said.
Chappelle said Wal-Mart started adding higher-end goods to its grocery stores about a year ago because research indicated customers were going elsewhere.
Luke Henry, Lawrence junior, said he liked the fact that he could now buv food there.
"i buy a lot of stuff here" he said. "It makes it easier to shop."
The expanded store also includes a Tire and Lube Express, a garden center, an on-site recycling center, a pharmacy, a Central National Bank branch, a Blippie restaurant, a one-hour photo lab, a portrait studio, a vision center, hair and nail salons, a wireless phone center and a sports shop that will include Jayhawks apparel and merchandise.
First reviews of the expanded store have been favorable, but some customers are still trying to find their way around the store.
"I get a little lost," she said.
Julie Peterson, Blue Springs, Mo. sophomore, said the new layout has been confusing.
The expansion was an 18-month process, longer than the five to six months it typically takes to expand to a store of its size, Chapelle said.
He said the purchase of some property from Crown Automotive for the expansion, replacing the wooden roof with a steel one and knocking down walls one-by-one added to the construction time.
The store now employs 450 people,200 more than it employed before the expansion. About 700 people applied for the new positions. The new Supercenter is the 39th in Kansas.
Chapelle said a welcoming ceremony would include the singing of the national anthem with a group of Marines presenting the colors. Local representatives and members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will also attend.

KU makes strong showing for Big 12, nine women pose for Playboy spread
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Three of the nine KU women who appear in Playboy's Big 12 feature signed autographs Tuesday for a long line of eager KU men.
The signings were at The Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., in the afternoon and Hastings, 1900 West 23rd St. in the evening.
Allan Barzegar, Wichita freshman, stood in line for an autograph Tuesday.
"I think it's pretty cool that they've got Big 12 girls showing what KU has to offer here," Barzegar said.
Dylan Serrault, Salina sophomore, got his chest signed by the women.
"I'm not showering for a month,"
Serrault said.
Allie Love, Lawrence junior, had never seen an issue of Playboy until she looked at herself in the October issue.
"I was kind of surprised that I made it," Love said. "One of my friends told me talked me into it and I just decided to go for it."
Love posed in a library scene wearing tube socks and a thong.
"The whole staff was so nice and they made me feel so comfortable," Love said. "The whole thing has just been fun."
Love said she enjoyed watching her friends' reactions when they see her in the magazine. She said that despite all the publicity, she's still the same person.

"It's kind of surreal still," she said. Berry said her ultimate fantasy was to be a Playboy playmate.
Michael Roberts, who works for Time/Warner Retail Sales and Marketing, said a lot of college bookstores, like the Jayhawk Bookstore, didn't sell magazines, but carry the college issue of Playboy for this event. He said it was probably the best-selling issue of the year.

ANNIVERSARY
Students celebrate University's birthday with cake, card on Wescoe
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Free birthday cake Tuesday on Wescoe Beach attracted flocks of students.
Student Alumni Association hosted the annual "Celebrate KU" event, held every Sept. 12 in commemoration of the first day of classes at the University of Kansas. This year marks the 140th anniversary.
Erin Vernon, president of Student Alumni Association, said honoring the day was important for students.
"I think sometimes we forget that KU has a long history and this just reminds us that KU has been here a long time before us and it will be here a long time afterwards," Vernon said.
Vernon said there were not
many other schools that celebrate similar birthdays.
"We're honoring a great tradition." Alderdice said. "We're promoting school spirit and we're educating people about SAA."
Jennifer Alderdice, adviser to Student Alumni Association, agreed that the celebration is both special to the University and important to her organization.
Still, Alderdice said some students were less interested in learning about Student Alumni Association and more interested in the free cake. She said students had plowed through nine large birthday cakes in the first two hours of the event.
In addition to the cake, the celebration included a giant birthday card for the University, with signatures ranging from "have a rock
chalk birthday" to "congrats on the big 140, you inanimate object." Alderdice said the card didn't go to anybody in particular and would be taken back to the alumni center.
Students said they were generally pleased but unaffected by the event.
Thomas Duermeter, Lawrence junior, said the event didn't encourage his school spirit so much as reaffirm it. Still, he said he thought the event had a positive effect.
"It's good to see something out here that everyone can come together for." Duermeier said.

Beverly Boyd Professor of English
Beverly Boyd will receive a lifetime achievement award this weekend from Brooklyn College, where she earned her first degree.
Boyd has been a professor of English at the University of Kansas since 1962. Before that she taught at Redford College. When the University offered her a position, she gladly accepted.
"I got double the pay and double the rank," Boyd said.
She said her father helped her select teaching as a career choice.
"He told me that I needed to have a major if he was going to send me to college." Boyd said.
Though teaching might not have
been her first love, English was. Her father would read to her as a child and since then she has loved English and reading. Boyd is a medievalist, which means that she specializes in medieval literature. She teaches English 105, which focuses entirely on Arthurian legend, and English 312, a survey of early English literature.
Out of all the medieval authors, her favorite is Geoffrey Chaucer. Large posters of the author and his works hang in her office.

GREEK LIFE
Closed fraternity chapter progresses toward renewal
BY MATT ELDER
Delta Tau Delta is returning to the University of Kansas campus for the first time since its closing in June 2001.
After its disappearance from a decline in members, the group's national organization has begun the rebuilding process for the Kansas chapter.
Ryan Weber, Kansas expansion team and chapter leadership consultant, began the interview process Monday for recruits interested in the new chapter and the opportunities it presents.
"The kids are getting the chance to start an organization from the ground up," he said. "They will have an alumni advising team and chapter consultants, but the KU chapter will set their own standards."
The expansion team is stressing the importance of academics,service and leadership as the foundation of their organization. Nick Goldsberry, Delta Tau Delta director of expansion, said he had seen interest from over 100 students already.
"We tend to get guys that took a look at the greek community and didn't find what they were looking
for," he said. "This is a good opportunity to come in and really fulfill a fraternity that's going to fulfill that extra niche in the Greek community."
Academics will serve as a large basis for the chapter's recruitment process. Of the 21 colonizations the Delta Tau Delta national organization has made since 2000, the average grade-point-average of the recruitment class is 3.6. Overall, the nationwide GPA for Delta Tau Delta is 2.95.
"When we say we're an academic leader, that's what we're striving for." Goldsberry said. "We've tended to be in the top 10 every year for the past 20 years."
Both Goldsberry and Weber have spent their time marketing and promoting the new Kansas chapter since their arrival on Sept. 1, attempting to create a buzz around the Lawrence campus. The next two and a half weeks will be geared toward the interview process.
"I know that their efforts here are to recruit high academically achieving students," Laura Bauer, program director of fraternity and sorority life, said. "And that will be reflected in their recruitment process I'm sure."
Recruits will be expected to carry more than the Delta Tau Delta academic traditions on their shoulders. The national body will be observing Lawrence specifically, as the Kansas chapter will be used to pilot several educational programs aimed at leadership and involvement within the campus and community, Goldsberry said.
The group also provides several chances for its members to attend national leadership conferences. With locations nationwide, including Maine, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., all members of the chapter will have the opportunity to attend summer and spring break sessions.
For the 2006-07 school year, Delta Tau Delta will not have a house for its members but is looking into plans for a future house.
The formal pledging ceremony will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union, and will be open to the public.

EDUCATION
Program helps Hispanic high school students go to college
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Eloy Gallegos grew up in a city well known for its meat-packing industry and the Hispanic and Latino population it employs. He was brought up in a strong Spanish-speaking culture by parents who came to the U.S. from Chihuahua, Mexico, before he was born.
The Garden City senior was one of the first in his family to attend college. Since coming to the University,
Gallegos has found himself in an unfamiliar situation.
Gallegos said that in Garden City, Hispanics were the largest minority.
According to a 2000 United States Census Bureau report, 43.9 percent of the population of Garden City was Hispanic or Latino — well over the 7 percent Kansas average.
"Here at KU it is different," he said. "There are much less Hispanic and Latino students. Here I am in the minority of the minority."
The Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Multicultural Resource Center and the Office of Admissions and Scholarships offer a program aimed toward recruiting and securing the success of students like Gallegos.
The program, titled Mi Familia, or my family, has traveled to Western Kansas towns for the past two spring semesters to get the word on higher education opportunities out to a Hispanic and Latino population.
"Our message that we want to get to the students is 'go to college', " lzaguirre said. "Regardless of whether you go to KU or another school or a community college, our message is to go to college."
Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of Multicultural Affairs, said the program traveled to Western Kansas area high schools to deliver programs entirely in Spanish to Spanish-speaking students and their families.
Instead of catering strictly to prospective students, the program is designed to incorporate their families as well to help them understand the process of applying to and attending college. Izaguirre said the program helped to educate parents who never attended college and may be unaware of what college life entails.
Gallegos thinks the Mi Familia message is a message that needs to be heard.
"It would be really easy for most
to quit school and go work in the meat packing facilities and make $110 to $12 an hour." Gallegos said. "It is hard not to focus on the now and instead think of future success that you might have by going to school."

Astronauts begin station additions
RASHA MADKOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Two spacewalking astronauts Tuesday began installing the first big addition to the international space station in more than two years, and NASA pronounced the outing a success, even though a small bolt floated off and got lost.
I "tell today like this is what NASA
*is supposed to do* lead space station
"flight director John McCullough.
"This is what we're here to do."
Wearing bulky suits and gloves, the two Atlantis astronauts ventured outside to begin attaching a new 17 1/2 ton box-like truss section that the space shuttle delivered earlier this week. The job involved connecting 17 wires or tubes and tightening or loosening 167 bolts.
Astronaut Joe Tanner was working with a 1 1/2-inch bolt with an attached spring when the washer holding it in fell off. The bolt and spring floated over the head of astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and skittered across the truss.
While the washer went out into "space harmlessly, Tanner worried the "bolt and spring could get into the wiring and tubing of the truss and cause problems.
"I just hope that bolt is on its way to Mother Earth right now and not on its way" to a crucial joint, Tanner said.
23 Even though NASA didn't have any video showing the bolt missing the mechanism, officials said they are certain that the bolt flew off into space harmlessly.
"It's pretty trivial," McCallough said. "It didn't go inside."
Space debris can be dangerous if it punctures space station walls or spacesuits and can jam crucial mechanisms. However, spacewalkers
have a long history of losing things in space. In July, Discovery spacewalkers lost a 14-inch spatula that floated away.
Two more spacewalks will be conducted during the 11-day mission to finish hooking up the new addition to the half-built space station. Construction had been on hold since the Columbia disaster in 2003.
The 45-foot, $372 million addition includes two electricity-generating solar arrays that will be unfurled on Thursday. It will provide more power to the international space station in preparation for European, Russian and Japanese science modules to be added in the next few years.
The free-flying bolt marred an otherwise successful and speedy six-hour, 26-minute spacewalk.
"You did a phenomenal job and set the bar very high for the rest of the assembly," Mission Control told the crew.
Tanner and Stefanyshyn-Piper zipped through a jam-packed list of arduous but mundane construction tasks, putting NASA ahead of schedule in connecting the addition. With extra time, Mission Control assigned them eight extra jobs of bolt removing and cover unlatching that would have been part of a Thursday spacewalk.
Atlantis astronauts Dan Burbank and Steve MacLean will venture outside on Wednesday.
The spacewalk was a first for rookie astronaut Stefanyshyn-Piper, who joined an elite club of female spacewalkers.
Only six other women have participated in any of the 159 U.S. spacewalks. A major reason: Spacesuits are too big for most women, said Stefanyn-Piper, who is 5 feet 10.

Sprint offers video network to customers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK - Sprint Nextel Corp., the nation's third-largest wireless provider, on Tuesday launched Sprint Power View, its sports and entertainment video network for mobile phone customers.
"Consumers' strong appetites for sports and entertainment news at any time and any place — like mounting commutes via mass transportation or lengthy lines at nationwide airports — requires a

New York Fashion Week, providing interviews with fashion designers.
Power View is free to Sprint Vision and Power Vision subscribers. Others pay at least $15 for an add-on Internet package with unlimited Power View.
The company already offers a video service to customers that includes streams of television networks and on-demand program clips.
fundamental shift in the way this content is delivered" Alana Muller, director of product marketing for Sprint, said in a news release.
Jeff Kagan, telecom industry analyst based in Atlanta, said Power View was an expected move in an industry that has watched the number of cell phone users slow recently.
"We're in the beginning of a long cycle of bringing these new technologies to the marketplace," Kagan said. "It's not the first, and it's not the last. But it's an important piece somewhere in the middle of this revolution of bringing television and movies to the cell phone."
Cingular spokesman Mark Siegel said Cingular, the country's largest cell-phone carrier, offers a similar service.
"What Sprint is announcing is essentially made-for-mobile video that you can get on your phone," Siegel said from his Atlanta office. "Cingular has had that for quite some time," with its live concerts and episodes of the HBO TV series "Entourage."
A spokesman for Verizon Wireless said subscribers to its $15-a-month Vcast service also have gotten similar content since the company launched the multimedia service last year.

Seminar addresses rape prevention
Discussion hosted by fraternity raises awareness about sexual assault
BY BEN SMITH
Rape prevention and awareness were the focus of a seminar held last night in the lobby of GSP Hall.
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity hosted the discussion as part of a community service project. Topics included what constitutes rape, what steps to take if one is raped and methods students can take to avoid dangerous situations.
Kristen Abell, sexual violence education and support services coordinator at the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, presented the seminar.
She said that it was important to
have programs like this early in the year because most sexual assaults on college campuses happen in the first six weeks of the fall semester when students are experimenting with alcohol and sex.
"Nearly all the sexual assaults reported on campus in the last two years involved alcohol," Abell said.
Fraternity president Zachary Turner said the two-week community service project is meant to inform college students about issues relating to them.
"A lot of students go out and get drunk and don't really think about the risks." Turner said.
Katrina Hansen, Arlington,
Texas, senior, said that although she
had received similar advice from her advisers at GSP-Corbin, this seminar was a welcome learning experience.
“It’s nice to have a refresher,” Hansen said. “The last talk they gave us was really early in the morning.”
Hansen said she was pleased that the seminar detailed what women can do to protect themselves, such as staying in groups to use friends for protection and trusting personal instincts.
Jordan Brown, Bloomington Ind., freshman, also attended the seminar along with several other men.
"I wanted to support the women and show them that they aren't the
only ones concerned about this"
Brown said.
Last night's seminar was the first part of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity's project. A self-defense lesson at Premier Martial Arts, 3201 Clinton Parkway Court, is scheduled for next Tuesday.
Kappa Alpha Psi started the community service project last year after members of the Duke lacrosse team were charged with the rape of an exotic dancer.

ALASKA OIL
BP required to prove environmental safety
H. JOSEF HEBERT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators warned BP PLC on Tuesday that it must supply detailed and credible evidence that a temporary fix to resume oil production on Alaska's North Slope can be done without environmental risk.
BP must show it "can manage corrosion going forward," Thomas Barrett, chief of the Transportation Department's pipeline safety agency, told a Senate hearing at which oil company executives said they hope to present such a plan, possibly this week.
"We must be assured that even a temporary limited restart can be operated safely before it can proceed," said Barrett, who took over the DOT pipeline agency this year.
Robert Malone, chairman and president of BP America Inc., a subsidiary of BP PLC, said the company planned to request within days that it be allowed to reopen the pipeline's eastern leg so more thorough tests
— can be run to ascertain if the line again can be used to send oil south.
"If the (remaining) inspection results show that the line has integrity ... we expect to make that request this week," said Malone. The segment where a leak occurred — and where tests have shown extensive internal corrosion — would be bypassed with oil diverted to a nearby line.
Malone said he could not speculate on when oil will gain flow through the system under the temporary arrangement. A shutdown of the eastern leg has kept 200,000 barrel of Prudhoe Bay oil from going south since early August. A similar western leg was temporarily reopened last month with damage lines bypassed.
using a so-called "pig" device
BP plans to build 16 miles of new line next year to replace the temporary system they now are trying to cobble together.
Barrett said BP failed to "fundamentally understand" the need for maintenance of its Alaska North Slope pipeline, leading to two oil leaks this year and the discovery of
extensive corrosion.
BP's top executives, appearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, apologized for its pipeline failure and promised to do better in the future. Nevertheless, they came under harsh criticism from senators
Singling out BP for criticism, Barrett said, "We do not see conditions like this replicated on other lines on the North Slope and other lines in the national pipeline system."
across the political spectrum.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., a staunch supporter of the oil industry that plays a prominent role in her state, suggested that in light of the BP incident new legislation might be needed to require proper maintenance of the country's oil infrastructure.
"This is a black eye on BP," Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., the committee chairman, told the oil company's executives.

Study abroad awaits Fair in Union showcases selection opportunities of learning overseas
BY KIM LYNCH
Far away places and foreign cultures beckon at the University of Kansas' annual study abroad fair in the Kansas Union today.
Stacey Satchell, outreach coordinator, said about 25 percent of KU students study abroad compared to 1 percent nationally.
The Office of Study Abroad is hosting its annual fair from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union to give information to students who want to learn more about the programs offered.
“Our students have really taken to it,” she said. “I think they see the importance of it.”
She said it was a good idea to study abroad because it looked great on a résumé and would set a student apart from other job applicants.
Kara Roelofs, Lawrence senior and peer advisor at the Office of Study Abroad, studied abroad in Merida, Mexico, for a semester and then took a few months to explore on her own before returning to the United States.
Roelofs said that students studying abroad should try to immerse themselves in the culture by avoiding hanging out with only English speaking friends during free time.
She said she came away with a different concept of life, which was to go with the flow and to be flexible.
Cate Crandell, Overland Park freshman, said she became interested in studying abroad in France because she went on a trip there through her high school and when the time came to go home, she didn't want to leave.
She said she fell in love with France and the language, which was her primary reason for wanting to study abroad. Studying abroad in France would also fulfill her third- and fourth-level language requirements.
Students worry about the costs of studying abroad, but they can get scholarships through the study abroad program, or seek outside scholarships specifically for studying abroad. Federal financial aid can also be applied to the study abroad programs.
Satchell said the study abroad office worked with students to ensure they would still be on track to graduate in four years and that every class would count toward their degree.
Satchell said program costs varied depending on where the student went and for how long.
The study abroad program offers about 100 programs in over 50 countries and 25 different languages.

NEW SEASON RAISES HEMLINES Designers hark back to 1960s for beachy shifts, swing dresses
SAMANTHA CRITCHELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
This year, Vollbracht presented an innovative and modern fall collection, and the company put Janet Jackson in many of the pieces over the past few months.
NEW YORK — For those who still measure fashion seasons in hemlines, the news from New York Fashion Week for Spring 2007 is short and swingy.
Designers are hiking up hems for otherwise office-friendly suits, while also showing beachy shifts and swing dresses that seem rooted in early '60s style.
Bill Blass: Designer Michael Vollbracht struggled to attract a full house as stylists, editors and buyers kept their distance after the company took a few missteps during the transition after Blass' death in 2002.
The relationship with Jackson
Vollbracht presented another strong line, falling somewhere between ladylike and sophisticated — perfect for the socialites who have filled their closets with Bill Blass designs over the years
Jersey dresses and gowns also were strong, especially a brown Grecian-style dress with a shirred waist. It was worn with silver flat sandals, part of Blass' new shoe collection. The shoe that people will remember, though,
was a patent leather sandal with a metallic heel.
The show opened with a beige jersey skirt suit that had movement but also the trappings of tradition. Generally, Vollbracht's skirts were short and the jackets were long.
continued Tuesday as the pop singer sat in the front row for Vollbracht's spring show, along with Sigourney Weaver and most of the industry's big-name insiders.
Betsey Johnson: Betsey Johnson sent a parade of ruffled, tiered and baby-doll dresses down the runway, hitting notes sounded by other designers to a rock 'n' roll beat.
- yet also modern and sexy.
Yes, a red polka-dot swimsuit was sexy, as were other outfits, but she flexed her designer muscles with a baby blue organdy pintucked blouse and pencil skirt, a black crepe pleated sheath and a flirty plaid taffetta bubble dress. She also paired a black gingham baby-doll dress with a tuxedo jacket and a green tweed coat with a striped linen pinafore.
At the end of her show, a beaming Johnson introduced her new granddaughter, Layla, to the packed-to-the-rafters crowd at the Bryant Park main tent, followed by her customary cart-wheel down the runway.

Inquiry continues on death of Anna Nicole Smith's son
DEATH
A hospital official said medical personnel applied CPR and other measures for 22 minutes to try to save Daniel Smith, who was found unresponsive Sunday in a hospital room where his mother was recuperating from giving birth to a baby girl three days earlier.
NASSAU, Bahamas — Police investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son said they had no evidence that he had suffered a heart attack or that drugs were involved.
"Resuscitative efforts using advanced life-support protocol continued for 22 minutes without response," Barry Rassin, president and CEO of Doctors Hospital in Nassau, said at a news conference.
The cause of death remained under investigation Tuesday.
The Nassau Guardian, cliting unidentified sources, reported
Smith died Sunday after he was found unresponsive in a chair while visiting his mother in the hospital.
Reginald Ferguson, assistant commissioner of the Royal Bahamian Police Force, dismissed the reports. "That's just talk, we have no evidence at this time to suggest that," he told The Associated Press, when asked whether drugs had contributed to Smith's death.
A funeral home hired by the family said Tuesday it expected to receive Smith's body after an outopsy is completed.
Earlier, the commissioner told People magazine that there was no evidence "at this time" that the young man had suffered a heart attack.
V
Monday that Daniel Wayne Smith had died of a heart attack. On Tuesday, the newspaper reported that a preliminary investigation found that Smith had antidepressants in his system. It cited sources close to the case.
"Once the hospital has released the remains to our establishment, we are then able to process all of the documents for repatriation to California," said Loretta Butler-Turner of Butler's Funeral Homes & Crematoriums.
Police said they were investigating the death as they would any other in the Caribbean country, and they were waiting for a pathologist's report to determine the cause.
It was unclear whether a coroner had completed the autopsy, or if police would release the results.
"If the family requests that the information not be given out, then certainly, I imagine we would do as they ask." Ferruson said.
The body was identified at the morgue Monday by Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, who is also handling arrangements with the funeral home, Butler said.
Smith was the product of his mother's 1985 marriage to Billy Smith.

OPINION
》 OUR VIEW
At some point, all college student ponder the question: Why is the drinking age 21?
And then they ponder the validity of the answer: 18-to-20-year-olds aren't responsible enough to drink. And most come up with the same response: Bullshit.
Fight the drinking age while you're still young
The years add up, and they forget. Some become lawmakers. And the drinking age doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe 18-to-20-year-olds aren't responsible enough to drink after all, they think. Better to err on the side of safety.
Then what happens? Sometimes in their junior year, these students turn 21. They don't have to ask someone to buy them beer and they tear up their fakes.
If the drinking age is to change, 18-to-20-year-olds must speak up, before they too turn 21 and forget what a bummer it is to have that unfair threat of a Minor in Possession charge
hanging over their heads.
They must fight before they forget the irony of being deemed responsible enough to wield a gun fighting insurgents in Iraq, but not responsible enough to pop open a cold one.
We live in an age in which laws are being strengthened to protect us from both outside forces and ourselves. We worship the Great God of Safety and personal responsibility is dying.
Of course, 18-to-20-year-olds are not the most responsible people. But if a student drinks too much, it is the student's fault, not the bottle's.
The next time you open a can of beer, walk away from Monday Night Football for a few minutes and write a letter to our lawmakers. It might not hurt to spill a little on the page, so they can remember being young.

COMMENTARY
TV media light on real news
IonBenet Ramsey is dead.
Jonbenet Ramsey is dead.
And you know what? I wish she wasn't. Not because the world is missing out on what might have been a remarkable life, but because rather than getting real journalism the news media is shoving her down our throats.
Then again, politics doesn't really sell, and I think I know why: because politicians tend to be unattractive old guys like Donald Rumsfeld and Hillary Clinton. What we should do is set up a weekly drama, with hot young stars like Chad Michael Murray as Rumfeld and Mischa Barton as Clinton.
And why, not? Entertainment can be educational, and education can be entertaining. Look at "The Daily Show", Bill Maher, and ... well, I wouldn't call Glenn Beck entertaining, or even watchable, but he tries. It seems to be only these fringe political/news outlets that pierce the national popular media consciousness.
They thought they found her killer on the other side of the globe, they brought him back here, he ate prawn on the flight back, it's such a big deal, one single murder in Colorado 10 years ago ... shut up. No one cares. I don't care. No one I know cares. And now the irony is that I'm taking up more space over that same played-out story.
A lot of folks worry that it's watering down what should be purer news coverage, but I'm not impressed with our so-called beacons of journalistic integrity.
It would still be boring, but people would watch. I know I would, if only to get my Mischa Barton fix since they killed off her character on "The O.C." And for those not interested in pretty faces, every five minutes we'll show an explosion or play rock music.

tions that add nothing to anyone's view on world affairs: "What is the one word you would use to describe that day? One word that just sums it all up? What is the word you would use today to describe how you feel now? If there's one thing you could change from that day, what would it be?"
You know what one thing I would change about that interview? The questions. Maybe the interviewer too.
Look: I'm not saying that Jon Stewart is better than Wolf Blitzer and his ilk, but I learn more from his 30-minute show than I do after watching an hour of CNN or FOX or MSNBC. So until any of them ups the ante, I'll be reading the papers and watching "The Daily Show" for my fill of current events.
There has got to be better material. What have we been doing to find bin Laden? How is the war in Afghanistan? How do troops there feel about the situation? What about the dust and rubble inhaled by those at the World Trade Center on that day? What are the ramifications of breathing three pounds of dirt?
Another bit of nothingness, this from CNN last Sunday: 10 minutes of footage from a church holding a 9/11 memorial. Now, I don't object to coverage of the fifth anniversary, but this was 10 minutes of hymns, and second-rate ones at that.

What's a person got to do to get a job around here?
Jobs are like hot guys or girls. They are easy to find, hard to get. You always find that dream job, for example, apprentice underwater basket weaver, and you apply right away. You figure you will get the job. How could they not hire you? You have a great GPA, some extracurricular activities, good references and you've stayed off the sex offender registry. Then, you get an interview.
Getting an interview is like when that hot girl/guy from the bar calls you the next day. The date/interview goes really well. You hit it off. You've got experience. You're just what they're looking for. And yet, two weeks later, you get a nice post-card saying the position has been filled. But thanks for your interest. Dagnabbit.
My point is that jobs are hard to get, and so when us college kids are offered one, we'll take it no matter what it is. I applied to many jobs on campus through the KU job Web site, jobsku.edu. The number of times I got rejected is higher than I can count (which is around eight). Last year, I was complaining to my homies from McCollum about this at dinner when I saw a sign on our table. KU Dining Services asking me if I wanted a job. Do I want a job? Does the Pope love Jesus?

So I applied. Basically, the application wanted my name, Social Security number, reference phone numbers and schedule. I had no job experience thanks to my overachiever status in high school. And I got hired. How? They knew jack about me, whereas the online application for the KU job site was more involved than the application I filled out to get accepted into the University.
I thought that with this experience, and my extensive customer service experience, KU Libraries would have to hire me.
I worked at Mrs. E's for about a year. Then I moved to a scholarship hall at semester and got sick of commuting up there all the time. So I left Mrs. E's. Then I had summer to deal with. During the summer, I worked at my church cataloging our entire church library into a computer system.
you guessed KU Dining Services, then you're a genius and will probably graduate in four years. If you guessed at Watson Library, then you're not a genius and will probably graduate in five years.
And guess where I work now? If
KU jobs are great. When campus is closed, most of the offices and dining places are closed. Hourly wages were increased to $7 an hour, and if you're a student Social Security and taxes aren't taken out of your paycheck. Plus, I get free food working for The Market. And, as a poor college student, I'm a sucker for free food. What frustrates me is that I am capable of a more skilled job. A lot of us college kids are. We'd like jobs that use our abilities and give us experience that's relevant to our major. And yet the University and outside companies thumb their noses at us. Sometimes, we might not have the experience a person hiring for a more skilled job would like, but we can't get experience until we get a job. College kids are obviously able to learn or we wouldn't be here.
But jobs are a Catch-22 situation. The best advice I can give is if at first you don't succeed, apply, apply again.

» LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Morals, law are one
Every nation, great or small,
totalitarian regime or democracy,
does and should legalize morality.
In response to Alison Kieler's Thursday column, "Prohibiting gay marriage contradicts America's principles," the secular humanist mantra "you can't legislate morality" must be exposed for what it is.
The prohibition of murder, to take the easiest example, finds its ground in both legality and morality. Few (though there are some) would argue that killing another person is not immoral, but simply illegal based on some sort of social contract.
Arguments against the legislation of moral claims, specifically those prohibiting gay marriage, tend to decry the collusion of church (or "religion") and state.
What these polemics fail to recognize is that the replacement of our nation's historical Christian humanism with that of the secularist is not removing morality as such from the picture, but replacing it with a "secularist" morality. Like it or not (and I do not), please call it what it is.
Marriage began as an institution of "religion," its basis being found in the biblical book of Genesis (by no means belonging to a "specific religious denomination"). The danger is not a matter of religious institutions getting in on state affairs, but quite the opposite.

College similar for all
BY ANDREA CHAO
Steve Sobczak is considered a nontraditional student. At 32 years old, he said it could be challenging to fit in with the rest of the students.
Sobczk, Sacramento, Calif., senior,
said that, as a nontraditional student,
he stood out "like a sore thump." He also said
he faced housing issues.
"The towers are too expensive, so I rent rooms, but most traditionalists want to rent to traditionals, which I understand. Who wants some creepy old guy sharing their bathroom?" Sobczak said.
When Sobczak was 18, he became a software engineer for the U.S. Marine Corps.
"I stuck with software engineering for 10 years," he said. "But then after Bush took office, the whole field went to hell with off-shoring and the market collapse.
So I decided to start learning something of my own choice."
The term "nontraditional student" encompasses almost 25 percent of the University of Kansas students, according to Nontraditional Student Services. By official definition, a nontraditional student is someone who commutes 10 or more miles to campus, is a parent of dependent children, is married, is a veteran or is three or more years older than classmates.
But Bobczak said the definition could be broader than that. "I would simply say you feel you are," Bobczak said.
Joyce Stevens is the graduate assistant for Nontraditional Student Programming at the Student Involvement and Leadership Center and a nontraditional student herself.
"In addition to trying to plan events that support nonrands and bring them together, I am also a resource for them for
any questions they might have," she said.
"While I might not get the answer to
"While I might not every question I can at least steer them toward the person who will."
Stevens said that the college experience is similar for nontraditional and traditional students, but that nontraditional students sometimes face additional obstacles.
"They tend to have the same challenges," she said. "Fitting in, work, friends, but you also have the insecurity of knowing that you're older, and sometimes

UPCOMING events include a "Parents Night Out" on Sept. 29. The nontraditional student foundation will be providing childcare so that students with children can have a chance to go out. Stevens will also
have a table on jayawk Boulevard during Academic Success Week starting Sept. 25. She will be providing information
for nontraditional students and will have panelists from the student organizations. There is also a tailgate party in the works for Oct. 7.
"School is so much more fun and rewarding when you have people from a peer group who understand what you're going through to share it with," Stevens said.
Sobczak is happy to be experiencing college life and considers it a refreshing break.
"College is actually a vacation after you've worked a career job for many years punching a clock in a cubicle wearing dress-code clothes," he said.

SERENITY NOW
Jayhawk, Chiefs fans deal with rough weekend
It was a tough weekend for area football fans.
I started off my Saturday watching Missouri and Chase Daniel put on an absolute clinic against a decent SEC team in Ole Miss. In case you haven't seen Mizzou play yet this year, ouch. I know it's only two games into the season, but Chase Daniel is leaps and bounds ahead of our boy Kerry Meier right now. The two tightend set of Rucker and Coffman is legit and it has me wondering why Mark Mangino isn't employing any Derek Fine and Marc Jones lineups.
In fact, Derek Fine, the guy who's going to be a favorite target of Meier, has one catch for 11 yards so far. Marc Jones, a guy I've pumped up and was praised by coach Mark Mangino at media day, hasn't even seen a ball thrown his way unless it was in practice.
With that said, after the Mizzou romp, the aforementioned Fine/Jones-less Jayhawks and their less-than-ordinary secondary were embarrassed Saturday night by Sun-Belt power Louisiana-Monroe, but still came away with a 21-19 victory.
And of course, K-State had to rout Florida Atlantic 45-0.
The final blow didn't come until Sunday when the Chiefs took a beating from Cincinnati and lost Trent Green in the process. You thought the Jayhawk offense was weak? The once powerful Chiefs offense, one of the best in the NFL over the last five years, came to a Robert Geathers-induced halt Sunday.
Though my two favorite football teams looked awful on consecutive days, let me tell my fellow Jayhawk and Chiefs fans this: don't worry.
First, the Jayhawks. Yeah, the defense was lit up and the offense was woeful. Kerry Meier was less than spectacular and fliers are up around campus with a reward for anyone that finds Raymond Brown's pass coverage skills. But the blame isn't just on Meier and Brown. The offensive line was weak, the receivers need to step up, and where is my Fine/Jones connection?

improve. I know the man's trying to put on weight, so maybe he can snack on granola while watching game film. It's just an idea. Oh, and a memo to Aqib Talib: You want to be an impact player? Obey team rules.
It could be a very long season for Kansas City, but I won't concede defeat after week one. The defense is improved, and a good defense in any league can keep you in a game. I know Herm Edwards is hailed as a master motivator, so let's see if he can motivate a win in Denver.
Regardless, I'm not worried.
It was game two of the season,
Mangino has yet to open up the
play book and the defense is still
figuring things out. Talib will be
back, and that closes an entire
side of the field. That's going to
help Bueltel's confidence as well
as the rest of the defense. If there's
one thing that can be said about
Mangino, his teams don't quit and
they get better as the season progresses. Why should this year be
any different? Kansas will edge
Toledo. 24-20.
With the Chiefs, the outlook isn't as rosy. Trent Green is still trying to figure out what happened, and Damon Huard is trying to figure out how to be an NFL quarterback. Meanwhile, Larry Johnson is trying to figure out why Willie Roaf retired and why the Chiefs didn't resign Tony Richardson.
Coach Herm Edwards is trying to figure out how he's going to make it through this season, and Chiefs fans are trying to figure out why the team is running dive plays on third-and-five on its opponent's 11-yard line and settling for field goals instead of touchdowns.

Senior defensive end Paul Como celebrates a tackle during the Sept. 2 victory against Northwestern State. Como has gained attention for both his defensive play and his outstandish halftype, Coach Mark Marinoino has changed the defense so that Como can play from different positions on the field during the same game.

Versatility adds surprise
Rotation allows defensive end to add linebacker to repertoire
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
V
For a guy who's among the quietest football players you'll ever meet. Paul Como sure stands out.
He doesn't make a lot of noise by talking trash or celebrating on the field. What makes Como stand out is that loud 80s hau-band look, not seen since the days of Journey and Poison.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Como, despite the hair, didn't bring a lot of attention to himself. "I think Paul Como has been a very underestimated player in our
But now, the senior defensive end is starting to make a name for himself, hair and all, on the football field. In his first season as a full-time starter, he recorded 10 tackles, including four for a loss. Como recorded eight of those tackles in Saturday's victory against Louisiana Monroe.
program." Mangino said. "He's a steady, solid, dependable player, week in and week out."
The new wrinkle for Como this year is his rotation between playing defensive end and linebacker in certain defensive packages. Playing both positions allows Como to rush the quarterback as a lineman and drop back in coverage as a linebacker. Because he usually lines up as a defensive lineman, the ability to switch brings an element of surprise. In some situations, Como is playing the linebacker position, but lines up at the line of scrimmage, as if he were playing a line position.
Como said that when he was approached by Mangtiso and defensive coordinator Bill Young about playing time at both lineman and linebacker, he would be comfortable at both positions.
"I think he wanted someone
with a good pain patch and had a good feel for the defender, he said
The change seems to have paid off. Como recorded carrier-highs for total tackles, assisted tackles and tackles for a loss in the victory against ULM.
Como moved into the defensive end position following the graduation of Brandon Perkins.
Mangino said Including Comos switches in some defensive packages is part of his defense changing over time.
"You must continue to find ways to utilize your personnel and evolve so that your defense has different looks, different types of pressures and coverages." Mangino said.
Coombs's size is an important factor in being able to switch from defensive end to linebacker. He played both lineman and talback in high school in Murrieta, Calif. While being recruited by Mangino
our of Saddleback College in California, Como was a linebacker player.
Mangino said that because Como is a "thick kid," he might be able to switch to another position, even though he played well at linebacker.
"We thought if he could put another 10, 12 pounds of lean body weight on that we could play him down, and it has worked out very well." Mangino said.
In his first year at Kansas last season, Como played in all 12 games on the defensive line, including one start. He finished the season with 13 tackles, four of those for a loss.

Highly touted recruit to debut at 'Late Night'
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Darrell Arthur, the highly anticipated freshman forward, took his sweet time deciding where to attend college before ultimately committing to coach Bill Self and the University of Kansas last May.
Arthur's mom gave him some advice before he went to sleep the night before he made his decision. She told him to pray hard, and he did. When Arthur, of South Cliff High School in Dallas, went to sleep that night, he had no idea where he wanted to attend college. But, he had a dream. When he woke up, he knew he wanted to attend the University of Kansas.
When asked if it was typical for him to make decisions after having dreams, Arthur said, "Not really." He
"Coach Self is a good coach, and he's going to work me real hard," Arthur said.
added that, in addition to the dream,
Self was the reason he decided to
become a lajhawk.
Expectations are high for Arthur. The 6-foot-9, 215-pound freshman is expected to contribute immediately to a Jayhawk team that returned its top two post players in juniors C.J. Giles and Sasha Kaun. Junior Darnell jackson also returned.
Self said the expectations for Arthur and fellow freshman Sherron Collins were "very high", and alluded to last year's freshman class of Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Brandon Rush.
"I think they should have a similar impact to what Mario, Julian and Brandon had last year," Self said.
"They should definitely impact how good we're going to be this year."
"He looks excellent," Chalmer said of Arthur. "He's working hard, trying to get better every time."
Chalmers, Arthur's roommate, said he expected Arthur to be a scorer and a slasher, but said it would ultimately be up to Self.
Collins described Arthur as a "high flyer; he plays above the rim." Collins also said he was going crazy back in Chicago when he heard Arthur had signed with the University.
Arthur said Self told him hed be a three or four, referring to the small forward and power forward positions, a role that Wright filled last year.
"I enjoy him," Collins said, describing how the two of them bad hung out at the Roundball Classic in
---
Chicago April 9. "I just tried to help him here."
Chalmers thought the additions of Collins and Arthur could help the team become a national title contender.
Chalmers said that the two made the Jayhawks a more athletic team.
Self said if they do what they're supposed to do, the Jayhawks would put themselves in a position to play for higher stakes this season.
"I think this is a team that can get Kansas hopefully back amongst the top five or 10 teams in the country," Self said.

FANTASY FOOTBALL
First week fails to forecast play at year's end
We're still recovering from the week-one action, but relaxation is for the teams who won't make the playoffs.
If you drafted Shaun Alexander, Cadillac Williams or LaMont Jordan in round one, don't panic.
Week-one results make poor indicators of what will transpire later in the year. Last year, Shaun Alexander opened the year with just 73 total yards and no touchdowns. He went on to rush for 1,880 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Even though an out-of-control Robert Geathers harpooned Trent Green on Sunday, I can't recommend the addition of Damon Huard.
BY EVAN HENGEL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EHENGEL@KANSAN.COM
Huard (12-20, 140 yards and a touchdown) actually looked halfway competent against the Bengals. He'll also reportedly get at least two starts for a solid offense, but as a die-hard Chiefs fan, I don't think it would feel right. It would feel like cheating on a girlfriend, or at least making out
with a buddy's girlfriend. Get well soon. Trent.
On to this week's adds:
1) Chad Pennington, quarterback, New York Jets. If you drafted Drew Bledsee, don't trample yourself into a moving ceiling fan just yet. Pennington is still available in many leagues. He went 24-33 for 319 yards with two touchdowns last week. It was against a soft Tennessee defense, but he goes against a just-as-soft New England pass defense (an injury-plagued 31st in the league last year) in week two. Let's just hope his surgically repaired shoulder, which is
being held together by chewing gum and a rubber band, stays intact.
2) St. Louis Defense. The Rams went out in the offseason and beefed up their defense with La'Roi Glover, Corey Chavous and Will Witherspoon. That trio combined for 14 tackles, a pick and a forced fumble in a victory against Denver. This week, the team is up against San Francisco. Congrats to Alex Smith, Frank Gore and the rest of the gang for actually putting up decent numbers in a loss to Arizona. Despite that, let's make the 49er offense prove to us one more time that they're for real. Something tells me picking up the St. Louis defense will get you double-digit points.
3) Marion Barber, running back,
Dallas Cowboys. Barber owners
have been dropping him like it's hot
for the past few days after watching
him get just three carries. His counterpart, Julius Jones, got 17. Like another former Minnesota Golden Gopher, Laurence Maroney, Barber is just waiting for his big break. Barber and Maroney are both more talented than the players they sit behind on the depth chart (Jones and Corey Dillon, respectively). Barber will get the goal-line carries now, and once coach Bill Parcells (whose man-boobs are now rivaling those of Peter Griffin) tires of the oft-injured Julius Jones, he will get the start later.
4) Jay Cutler, quarterback, Denver Broncos, Jake Plummer (who, now that he trimmed his mustache, will no longer be appearing in a porn theatre near you) mailed in his week one performance against the Rams, taking four sacks and throwing for just 138 yards with three interceptions. He doesn't seem to be responding well to being without former offensive coordinator Gary
Kubiak, who left to be coach for the Houston Texans.
Plummer, who was once seen shooting the bird to his hometown fans, has never been known as a fan favorite, and should be on a very short leash. Should Coach Mike Shanahan, who holds that leash, turn to Cutler, the rookie out of Vanderbilt should hold great value in the fantasy world down the road.
5) Damon Huard, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs. OK, fine, I couldn't help myself. I feel so dirty. I would have picked him up myself, but sports editor Michael Phillips, who I play this week, beat me to it. You're going down, Michael.

Dismissed quarterback playing for Waco Wranglers in Texas
BY BRYAN CISLER
Former Jayhawk quarterback Mario Kinsey is still playing sports, but the Texas native has traded in cleats for sneakers, pads for shorts and gridiron for hardwood.
As basketball season inches closer, Kinsey is practicing as a guard for the Waco Wranglers, an American Basketball Association expansion team in Waco, Texas.
"I feel we are going to have a pretty good team, good franchise, and I feel we have a chance to go far in the playoffs", Kinsey said.
While the Wranglers are hoping Kinsey can be one of their go-to players, Mario is looking at what this experience can do for him.
"I look at this as a stepping stone
to where I am trying to go, either overseas or a tryout with an NBA team, whichever one comes first," Kinsey said.
He said his career in basketball might not have happened if he had stayed at Kansas, instead of leaving after his freshman year.
"I think if I would have stayed, I would have had a shot at pro football," Kinsey said. "But basketball is my love, so I have no regrets."
He arrived at Kansas in Fall 2000 and was touted as the hotshot quarterback who was going to turn the program around.
"We thought he was going to be the next Mark Williams," said Dylan Smith, Kinsey's teammate and fellow quarterback, said.
Kinsey tried to play for the basketball team in the winter of 2000, but decided it was best to focus on his grades and football.
He finally got his chance to lead the football team in 2001, but battled former quarterback Zach Dyer to be the starter all year. The team finished only 3-8.
The low point of the season for Kinsey was when he and fellow teammate Reggie Duncan were arrested and suspended from the first game for stealing Miss Kansas USA's credit card and ordering pizza with it. Kinsey said that experience changed him, though.
"You learn from your mistakes and I felt that made me a better person as far as decision making and the crowd that you are with," he said.
The following spring marked a
new era in KU football, as new coach Mark Mangino and quarterback Bill Whitmore arrived on campus. It also meant the end of football for Mario Kinsey, who Mangino dismissed from the team for violating athletics department policies. He transferred to Sam Houston State and decided to end his football career and focus full time on basketball.
"I had the opportunity to choose between football and basketball, and I had already experienced trying to play both sports, but basketball was just what I had in my heart, and it is just what I loved to do," he said.
Being back in Texas not only meant playing his favorite sport again, but also being back with his family.
"It helped me a lot, just having
somebody to talk to, not just over the phone, but somebody I could have deep conversations with if something was bothering me," Kinsey said.
Kinsey is in a different state now, playing a different sport, and he doesn't harbor any bad feelings against Mangino.
"I think it has been the right decision for the program to bring him in to coach," he said.
For now, Kinsey is preparing for the Waco Wranglers first preseason game, which is less than a month away, and is just happy to be playing the game he loves.

Kansas has difficult game ahead
Jayhawks face top-ranked Cornhuskers tonight in Nebraska, after 75 losses against them

BY DREW DAVISON
The Jayhawk volleyball team (7-2) will be the undisputed underdogs when they begin conference play against the top-ranked Cornhuskers (7-0) at 7 tonight in Lincoln, Neb. Kansas, however, will try to use that to their advantage.
"They're No. 1 in the country, they have to play well." Iana Corraea, senior outside hitter, said. "We just need to go out there and play hard and play strong."
Nebraska is traditionally known for impressive football crowds, but the volleyball venue, Nebraska Coliseum, also sells out and draws in 4,030 fans.
"Sometimes playing in front of that crowd, with that ranking, it may put some more pressure on them," coach Ray Bechard said. "We go in relaxed, and can be very aggressive, so hopefully we can have a good outcome."
Last season, Kansas lost both conference matches to Nebraska. In Lincoln, the Huskers swept the Jayhawks. At home, Kansas lost 3-1 to Nebraska.
According to the Kansas media guide, Kansas has a 1-75-1 alltime record against Nebraska. The Nebraska media guide has the Huskers a perfect 76-0 against the lavwhaws.
Regardless of the record books, a Kansas win is about as rare as someone wearing Zubaz. The Jayhawks have never won a match in Lincoln.
Last season, Nebraska won the Big 12 conference and advanced to the NCAA tournament before losing in the National Championship match to Washington.
"I think they're disappointed to be the national runner-up last year, so I'm sure they're going to be high octane," Bechard said.
Both teams come into tonight's match after winning their home tournaments. The Jayhawks won the Jayhawk Classic with a sweep over then-No. 16 Brigham Young and despite a five-game loss to Arkansas. Nebraska defeated Cal Poly, Louisville and Minnesota over the weekend to win the Ameritas Players Challenge in Lincoln.
Nebraska junior Sarah Pavan, right side hitter, led the Huskers to the title and earned MVP honors. On Monday, she was named Big 12 Player of the Week.
Kansas junior Emily Brown, right side hitter, continues to lead the team with 5.25 kills per game and four double-doubles this season.
The Jayhawks will face No. 5 Texas at home on Saturday. The game will be at 7 p.m. in the Horeksi Family Athletics Center. Fans will receive a Jayhawk rally towel and admission is free for students with a valid KUID.

SOCCER Jayhawks ranked for first time since last season
The Kansas soccer team has entered The 25 in two soccer rankings. The Jayhawks are ranked No.18 in the Soccer America poll and No.20 in the Soccer Times poll.
Victories this weekend against Alabama and No. 12 Duke helped catapult Kansas (4-1-0) Into the rankings. The Jayhawks beat the Crimson Tide on Friday and came back to
INTERNATIONAL 4th Military World Games to be in India next year
beat the Blue Devils 4-3 with a game winner in the last minute. Kansas' only loss this season came against nationally-ranked California.
This is the first time the Jayhawks have been ranked since Oct. 31 of last season.
WASHINGTON — An organization that aims to use sports to foster friendship between the world's militaries and nations will hold its global games in India next year.
Previously, European sites were used for the games, which are held once every four years.
The competitions include dozens of regular civilian sports such as football and track and field, as well as military sports — like a pentathlon that tests shooting skills.
The 4th Military World Games will be in Hyderabad, India, in the fall of 2007, Brig. Gen. Gianni Gola of Italy said Tuesday. Gola heads the International Military Sports Council, a group that was founded in 1948 and holds frequent regional competitions among athletes from the world's armed forces and a worldwide contest.
"It's a nice honor for the team after how we played last weekend," Kansas coach Mark Francis said in a press release."As long as we keep producing results on the field, the rankings should take care of themselves."
Gola was visiting Virginia this week for a seminar on sports in the military and said another
Mark Dent
one — on "sport and peace" — is planned in the coming months on the Ivory Coast.
"They still have conflict, but we decided to go there and to try to send a message." Gola told a group of reporters in the Pentagon. "Maybe we cannot do more, but at least we can send a message: Sport can help and in some cases sport is the unique tool that we have in our hands."
The council held the first worldwide event in 1995 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. The last one brought thousands of athletes from 84 countries to Italy in 2003.
The council has 127 member countries and the only one ever barred from games was Iraq — after Saddam Hussein's forces invaded Kuwait. The suspension, lasting from 1990 to 2003, was lifted after Saddam was overthrown by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Iraqi military athletes began attending competitions once again, entering a cross-country contest in March in Tunisia, Gola said.

Philadelphia receives boost from quarterback against Houston
ROB MAADDI ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb led the Eagles to three NFC championship games before Terrell Owens came to Philadelphia. He can do it again without the talented-buttroblesse receiver.
Now that he can focus on football instead of feuding with T.O. and playing through pain, McNabb looks more like the quarterback who went to five straight Pro Bowls and took his team to the playoffs each of those seasons.
McNabb said.
In Philadelphia's opening 24-10 victory at Houston, McNabb completed 24 of 35 passes for 314 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in his first regular-season game since having surgery for a sports hernia last November.
Last year, some of those smiles were forced, there wasn't much to joke about, and pushing came through a locker-room alteration between Owens and former player turned team ambassador Hugh Douglas.
A combination of injuries to several starters and the T.O. fiasco plunged the Eagles to 6-10 a year after falling just three points short in the Super Bowl against New England.
While many so-called experts predicted another last-place finish in a tough NFC East, the Eagles retooled — not rebuilt — their roster and set out to prove they still belong among the elite teams in the conference.
Though it's only one game in a long season, the rest of the division rivals lost their openers and are looking up at Philadelphia. A victory over the New York Giants this week could go a long way toward helping the Eagles accomplish their goal of going from worst to first.
"They've had a great attitude from the first minicamp on," coach Andy Reid said. "They have done everything I've asked. They came out and they played their hearts out and did a nice job. But they also understand that it is one out of 16 here, that we have to continue to go. We've got a real good team coming in this week. We have to be better than what we were this past week so we can get ready for the Giants."
McNabb is the key to Philadelphia's success. With him, the Eagles are 68-33, including playoffs. They were 2-5 in the seven games he missed last year.
With T.O. gone, the pressure again is on McNabb to be the man. But he's shown he can have outstanding seasons with lousy receivers (Charles Johnson, Torrence Small) and mediocre ones (Todd Pinkston, James Thrash). There's no reason he can't win with a solid group of wideouts that includes Donte' Stallworth and Reggie Brown.
Stallworth had six catches for 141 yards and one TD in his debut with the Eagles. He probably won't post Owens-like stats, but Stallworth isn't selfish, petulant and disruptive, either.
He's already been dubbed the anti-
TO, because his No. 18 is opposite
Owens' No. 81, he has an excellent
working relationship with McNabb
and he doesn't cause problems.
Reid talked to former Saints coach Jim Haslett before acquiring Stallworth to make sure he was adding a quality-character player.
"Jim told me how good he was," Reid said. "We were expecting to get a good football player."
If McNabb and fragile running backs Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter stay healthy and Stallworth and Brown continue to progress, the offense could equal or even surpass its level of 2004. The Eagles averaged 351.1 yards and 24.1 points per game en route to the
Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, the defense has a chance to be dominant again. Coordinator Jim Johnson likes the depth on the line so much he alternated the four starters and the four backups each series against Houston. The result was four sacks from the line. The Texans managed only 241 total yards.
"Not in my eight years in the NFL, four years in college and four years in high school, you just don't do this kind of thing, but it worked out for us," said end Jevon Kearse, who had one of the sacks.
From the ball boys to the players to the coaches to the front office, everyone in the organization believed last year was merely an aberration caused by too many injuries and too much turmoil.
SEX ON THE HILL WE MOUNT OREAD SEPT. 14TH
are healthy and team harmony has been restored because you-know-who took his act to Dallas, the Eagles have a legitimate chance to play beyond January.
If not, they can't blame T.O. any-more.

BIG 12 VOLLEYBALL
Competition stacks up this season
Expectations, awards, outlook of conference competitors analyzed
BY JEFF DETERS
Editor's note: The Jayhawks open the Big 12 volleyball season tonight when they travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers. Kansas writer Jeff Deters previewed the Big 12 in advance of the season. Oklahoma State does not field a team.
Nebraska
2005 record:(33-2,19-1)
Key players: Nebraska is led by preseason All-Big 12 selections junior outside hitter Sarah Pavan and sophomore outside hitter Jordan Larson. Pavan was named Big 12 Player of the Year in 2005 and is expected to repeat that honor again this year. Larson was named Honorable Mention All-Big 12 and Big 12 Freshman of the Year after leading all Big 12 freshmen in kills, digs and hitting percentage.
2006 outlook: The Comhuskers won the Big 12 Championship for the eighth time last season and were last year's NCAA runner-up. Nebraska is the top team in the Big 12 and the No.1 ranked team in the nation. They have their sights set on another conference title and a return trip to the national championship game. They open conference play tonight at 7 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb., against the Kansas Jayhawks.
Texas
2005 record: (24-5, 17-3)
Key players: If the Longhorns want to overtake Nebraska in the conference, they will need big performances from senior outside hitter Dariam Acevedo, senior middle blocker Brandy Magee and junior middle blocker Leticia Armstrong. All three were selected to the preseason All-Big 12 team and combine to form as talented a trio as there is in the Big 12.
2006 outlook: The Longhorns are talented enough to challenge Nebraska for the league title and will play the Jayhawks at 7 p.m. this Saturday at the Horesei Family
Athletics Center.
Missouri
2005 record: (25-5, 16-4)
Key players: Senior outside hitter Jessica Vander Kooi leads the Tigers attack. Vander Kooi, a two-time all-conference performer, was named to this year's preseason conference team as well.
2006 outlook: The Tigers finished third in the conference last year and are picked to do the same this year. The Tigers and Jayhawks will play Oct. 4 in Columbia, Mo., and at the Horejsi Center on Nov. 18.
Kansas State
2005 record:(21-11, 11-9)
Key players: The Wildcats leader is senior captain and outside hitter Sandy Werner. Last season Werner ranked 11th in the Big 12 in total kills.
2006 outlook: The Wildcats defeated No. 23 ranked Notre Dame at the UNI Invitational last week and are now ranked in the Top 25. The Wildcats and Jayhawks split the series 1-1 last year, each winning on the other's home floor. The two teams will continue their rivalry Oct. 11 at the Horeksi Center and Nov. 25 in Manhattan, Kan.
Texas A&M
2005 record: (16-14, 9-11)
Key players: Senior middle blocker/outside hitter Christi Hahn is the only senior on the team. Hahn is a preseason All-Big 12 pick and has been a two-year starter.
2006 outlook: The Aggies will try to reach the upper division of the Big 12, but will likely remain in the middle of the pack. The Aggies and Jayhawks split the season series last year and the two teams will play Sept. 20 at the Horejsi Center and Oct. 21 in College Station, Texas.
2005 record:(15-13, 10-10)
Colorado
Key players: Senior setter hitter Ashley Nu'u finished third in the conference in assists per game (13.16) and was an honorable mention All-Big 12 pick in 2005.
2006 outlook: The Buffaloes will look to improve their 10-10 record in conference play last year and make it past the first-round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years. The Buffaloes will play the Jayhawks Sept. 23 in Boulder, Colo.
2005 record:(15-15.7-13)
Kansas
Key players: Junior right side hitter/setter Emily Brown and senior outside hitter Jana Correa lead the Jayhawks. Brown was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team this year and has no doubt played to that level. Along with Brown, Correa has displayed the talent and leadership qualities needed to be an all-conference player. Correa's performance in the Temple Classic earned her the tournament MVP title.
2006 outlook: Following a disappointing 2005 season, the Jayhawks are picked to finish seventh in the Big 12. But after going 7-2 through the non-conference schedule, and earning tournament victories and a sweep against No. 16 ranked BYU, Kansas enters conference play with a lot of momentum. Kansas is not as talented as Texas or Nebraska, but don't be surprised if it finishes the season as one of the top four teams in the league and plays in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth year in a row.
Iowa State
2005 record:(16-15,9-11)
Key players: Junior middle blocker Erin Boeve broke the Cyclones' season record for block assists last year with 155. Boeve was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2005.
2006 outlook: The Cyclones will look to build upon their first winning season in more than 10 years and will
try to make the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in school history. The Cyclones and Jayhawks will play Sept. 30 at the Horesei Center and Nov. 4 in Ames, Iowa.
Bavlor
2005 record:(15-17.6-14)
Key players; Senior middle blocker Desiree Guillard-Young broke the school record last year by averaging 1.85 blocks per game. She is a preseason Big 12 pick this year and was Big 12 Honorable Mention last year as a sophomore.
2006 outlook: Baylor has won nine games in a row and opens conference play tonight against K-State. The Bears are scheduled to play the Jayhawks Oct. 14 at the Horeisi Center and Nov. 15 in Waco, Texas.
Oklahoma
2005 record:(7-22, 2-18)
Key players: Senior middle blocker Eliane Santos led the Sooners in blocks and kills last year. Santos set the Oklahoma season record in blocks per game, solo blocks and block assists.
2006 outlook: The Sooners are picked to finish second to last in the league but head into conference play with an 8-2 record. The Sooners lost both games last year against the jayhawks and will look for revenge when the two teams play Oct. 7 in Norman, Okla., and Oct. 25 in Lawrence.
Texas Tech
2005 record:(11-20, 6-14)
Key players: 2005 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Philister Sang leads the Red Raiders. The senior outside hitter ranked third in the conference in kills last year and had 21 kills in a game last year against Kansas.
2006 outlook: Texas Tech finished 10th in the league last year and will struggle to climb out of the conference cellar this year. The Red Raiders and Jayhawks split the season series last year and the two teams are scheduled to play Sept. 27 in Lubbock, Texas and Oct. 28 at the Horeisi Center.

Chiefs quarterback receives two weeks to heal from injury
SORAYA NADIA
MCDONALD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
>> NFL
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Even Lia Edwards is beginning to think that wherever her husband goes, something bad happens to quarterbacks.
Last year, Chad Pennington lasted only three games, and by the end of the season, coach Herm Edwards had played five different New York Jets quarterbacks, and the Jets had finished a dismal 4-12.
This season, Edwards' first in Kansas City, Trent Green lasted less than three quarters before sustaining a severe concussion that landed him in the hospital for two nights.
Before Edwards arrived, Green had been an NFL ironman, starting 81 straight games.
Edwards said Green would go home from the hospital Tuesday afternoon but would definitely not play against Denver on Sunday. It's uncertain when he'll play again, Edwards said.
"She said, 'Before you married me, in that life you were living, you did something bad to somebody," Edwards quipped Tuesday.
Edwards said the two-time Pro Bowl quarterback was in good spirits.
Green was knocked unconscious and hospitalized after his head slammed into the ground on a hit by Cincinnati's Robert Geathers in Kansas City's home opener. He sustained what the Chiefs described as a severe concussion and will have at least two weeks to recover because Kansas City has a bye after the Denver game.
"If it was up to Trent, knowing him and the kind of guy he is, he held up tomorrow," Edwards said. "Hed show up tomorrow, and hed go into meetings, and he'd be whispering in my ear saying, 'Coach, you know by Friday I'll be ready to go.'"
But if it takes longer, Edwards promises to understand.
Meanwhile, the focus has shifted to Damon Huard, who replaced Green in the third quarter of Kansas City's 23-10 loss to the Bengals and completed 12 of 20 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown.
The connection to Tony Gonzalez was the first touchdown pass Huard had completed since he threw one for Miami at Indianapolis on Nov. 26, 2000.
Edwards also is preparing to defend against Denver's famously trickv bootlegs.
The Chiefs haven't won in Denver in five years, and the Broncos bootleg always seems to vex them.
"It looks, to the spectator and to everyone that views it, 'What's so hard about that play? Why can't they stop it?" said Edwards, who explained exactly what's so hard about it, complete with hand motions. The only thing missing was a chalkboard filled with X's and O's.
Part of the challenge, Edwards said, is how well the Broncos run the football.
The key to tripping them up is having defenders who can keep up.
Another worry will be protecting Huard. Kansas City's offensive line allowed seven sacks against the Bengals, which Edwards blamed on too much passing and anemic first down yardage.
But he bristled at the suggestion that he's too conservative and will rein-in the high-strung offense he inherited from Dick Vermeil.
"If the people went to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play, that's the same offense they watched for the last five years," Edwards said.
As far as Sunday's game, he said: "Shifts, motion — we threw the ball more than we ran it, which I hate, because generally when you do that you're going to lose the game."
Granada
Meanwhile, both Edwards and general manager Carl Peterson said they didn't know anything about a news conference retired left tackle Willie Roaf is planning to hold Thursday.
Edwards shrugged, joking that perhaps the 11-time Pro Bowler who retired so abruptly was in town for some barbecue.

KU on Wheels tries to eliminate student misuse with new policies
BY DANNY LUPPINO
University of Kansas students, particularly those in sororities, are having a hard time getting home using KU on Wheels' Safe Ride service.
At least four students were unable to schedule rides home because they did not have proof they lived at the address they asked to be taken to when they called the Safe Ride operators.
Safe Ride policy prevents students from being taken anywhere but their residences. Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said the policy was necessary to ensure the safety of students.
"It is a Safe Ride policy to not take students to parties, drinking establishments and other venues that are not their homes," Mortinger said. "Safe Ride is attempting to look out for the best interests of students."
Because of that policy, Mortinger said Safe Ride does not bring males to GSP-Corbin Hall or sororites, or females to fraternities.
Some students complained that the policy had not been enforced correctly.
One student, who asked to remain anonymous, said she and two friends were repeatedly denied service from Safe Ride when trying to get from a party to the sorority house where they lived.
"They refused a few times to
They refused pick us up and wouldn't take us back," she said. "I was really confused."

back and was told she would need to provide the driver with proof of her address. When she told the operator she did not have it with her, the operator hung up again. The student said this happened three more times.
In an e-mail complaint received last year by KU on Wheels, another student said she asked to be taken home from Fatsol's, 1016 Massachusetts St., but was told her house was too close for her to need a ride. In the complaint, the student alleged the operator told her to "fucking walk home" before hanging up.

was able, after nearly an hour, to convince the Safe Ride operator that the sorority house was, in fact, her residence.
The student said she then called
Mortinger said the behavior of the operator — if accurately portrayed in the complaint — was

with other students,
Mortinger said.
"In order to serve the mission of only taking students to their home, if they do, in fact, live in a location that does not to appear to be a residence or the residence also appears to be a party, riders are, in fact,
asked to prove that they live there." Mortinger said. "Our intention is never to keep people from getting home. Our intention is to try and prevent abuse of Safe Ride."
She said acceptable proof of address would include a driver's license with the student's local address on it or a piece of mail with the address and the student's name.
Several people in the KU on Wheels office said an operator asking for proof of address before pickup was not in line with Safe Ride policy and was most likely acting in response to a particularly suspicious caller.
Mortinger said Safe Ride operators and drivers were not the only ones to blame for inconsistent service.
"There is a large problem with students trying to cheat the system and tell Safe Ride dispatchers that they live above a local establishment or the current location of a keg party." Mortinger said.

SAFETY
McCollum, Towers lead crime statistics Three halls have far higher rates of theft, rape, alcohol and drug abuse
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Jayhawker Towers and McCollum and Oliver halls are the most dangerous residence halls on campus.
Police reports indicate crimes have been reported at or near Oliver and the Towers 40 times each since September 2005. McCollum was a close second with 39 police reports.
The discrepancy isn't much of a surprise to Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety Office
The three buildings far outpaced other halls like Hashinger Hall (12 total crime reports), Lewis Hall (10), and GSP-Corbin (19). Ellsworth came closest with 29. The safest place to live on campus is Templin Hall, which had a mere eight crime reports in the last year. Hashinger was closed for the 2005-2006 school year.

Infants younger than 2 must still have tickets Resolution suggesting policy change tabled at Student Senate meeting
BY NATE MCGINNIS
After 30 minutes of debate Wednesday night, Student Senate tabled a resolution calling for the Athletics Department to admit infants under the age of two into football and non-revenue sporting events for free.
The resolution stated, "We are grieved by the fact that infants (2 years of age or under) are charged full price for admittance at any events," and challenged the department policy that requires all persons in attendance to have a ticket regardless of age.
The resolution also asked the department to "take into account the needs of its patrons that have children who want to attend football or other non-revenue sports."

New club, old-school game KU student needs Student Senate funding for four square
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Students at Wescoe Beach could soon be reeling a childhood game if one KU student receives funding for a four-square club.
John Nguyen, Dodge City junior, said he was attempting to create the club to help students reduce stress and bring back the simplicity students felt in elementary school.
Nguyen plans to have the club meet on Wescoe Beach from noon until 4 p.m. in what he is calling "four-square Friday."
"You could see a whole playground on Wesco Beach if four-square gets popular," Nguyen said.
The idea began about a year ago when Nguyen started an impromptu game with his neighbors and roommates at his apartment complex.
Soon after they started playing, many of his neighbors joined the game. Then he got the idea to apply for funding and start a club.
Nguyen applied for funding from Student Senate last Wednesday, but his bill was not approved by the finance committee.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - Nicole Delameter has learned to be more judicious when selecting a parking spot.
When Circuit Judge Stanley Mills arrived for work Monday, Delameter's 1990 Oldsmobile was parked in his reserved space at the courthouse. So he parked his 2005 Cadillac behind her car and forced her to sit in his courtroom until he was ready to leave.
"There's two perks to the job," the judge said. "I have my own bathroom, and I have my own parking spot, and you're not going to get to use either."

DOWNTOWN
Construction slows business
Summer project keeps Massachusetts Street spaces vacant, hinders leasing
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
An unusually high number of spaces are available on Massachusetts street because of the summer construction.
Five locations are still available to lease for just one real estate company: Grubb and Ellis The Winbury
Group. Allison Vance Moore, a vice president of commercial sales and leasing for the company, said the vacancies were due to the construction during the summer in downtown Lawrence. She said she expected to see
more interest in those locations now that the construction was finished.
The construction project on Massachusetts street began May 22 and extended from the 700 block to the 800 block of the street. The project — completed in late August — replaced a water line that was about 100 years old.
"No one wanted to sit outside while they were jackhammering."
Jon Amyx, owner of the Downtown Barber Shop, 824 Massachusetts St., said that he didn't have a handicapped parking space because of the construction, and that he lost customers for three months.
The three-month project entailed closing the east and then west sides of Massachusetts street for about six weeks at a time. This meant parking was only available on one side of the street and traffic could only flow one way.
Many downtown Lawrence business owners reported that their sales had taken a hit and complained that the lack of parking and high fences put up to block the construction prevented easy access to their stores.
SEAN PATRICK
Zen Zero manager
"We are in the middle of the block," Amyx said. "If your only
access is your back door, it's going to be a tough day."
Sean Patrick, manager of Zen Zero, 811 Mass., said that business at the restaurant was a bit slow this summer and that
its front porch business was most negatively affected.
"No one wanted to sit outside while they were jack-hammering," he said.
But Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop actually reported a record year despite the summer construction.
"It was certainly inconvenient," owner Dan Hughes said. "But our placement near the end of the block probably benefitted us."
The construction will continue next summer for the 900 block of Massachusetts street and the repaving of the street.

20 wounded in Montreal college shooting Six left in critical condition, gunman shot and killed by police officers at scene

Police officers arrive on the scene of a shooting Wednesday at Dawson College in Montreal as a body is covered by a tarp in the background.
BY PHIL COUVRETTE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Robert J. Galbraith/ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTREAL — A gunman in a black trench coat and sporting a mohawk haircut opened fire Wednesday at a Montreal college and wounded at least 20 people — six critically — before he apparently was killed by police, witnesses and authorities said.
Scores of panicked students at Dawson College near downtown fled into the surrounding streets after the shooting broke out at the school of about 10,000. Some had clothes stained with blood.
Police spokesman Ean Lafreniere said there was just one gunman at the school and the search for any others was over.
Although police initially suggested the gunman had killed himself, Police Director Yvan DeLorme later said at a news conference that "based on current information, the suspect was killed by police."
GBC-TV showed police with guns drawn standing behind a police cruiser as a SWAT team swarmed the 12-acre campus. A bloody body covered in a yellow sheet lay next to a police cruiser near an entrance to a school building.
Montreal General Hospital said 11 people were admitted, including six who were in critical condition. The other nine were taken to two other hospitals.
Witnesses said a man wearing a black trench coat entered the school cafeteria and opened fire wordlessly.
Derick Osei, 19, said he was walking down the stairs to the second-floor cafeteria when he saw a man with a gun.

"I saw the gunman who was dressed in black and at that time he was shooting at people," student Michel Boyer told CTV. "I immediately hit the floor. It was probably one of the most frightening moments of my life."
"He was shooting randomly. I didn't know what he was shooting at, but everyone was screaming get out of the building," Boyer said. "Everybody was in tears. Everybody was so worried for their own safety for their own lives."
saw everybody starting to run.
He said the gunman was dressed in a black jacket and had a mohawk haircut. Hernandez said he started to take pictures on a camera cell phone with his friend and the suspect saw them and started shooting.
"He just started shooting at people," Vastava said, adding that he heard about 20 shots fired. He also said teachers ran through the halls telling students to get out.
Student Devansh Smri Vastava said he saw a man in military fatigues with "a big rifle" storm the cafeteria.
"We all ran upstairs. There were cops firing. It was so crazy," Vastava said. "I was terrified. The guy was shooting at people randomly. He didn't care, he was just shooting at everybody. I just got out."
A SWAT team and canine units were dispatched to the school, going floor by floor to look for victims, Sgt. Giuseppe Boccardi told CNN.
People also were evacuated from two nearby shopping centers.
Canada's worst mass shooting also happened in Montreal. Gunman Marc Lepine killed 14 women at the Ecole Polytechnic on Dec. 6, 1989, before shooting himself.
The 25-year-old Lepine roamed the halls of the school firing a rifle, specifically targeting women whom he claimed in a suicide note had ruined his life. Nine other women and four men were wounded.
That shooting spurred efforts for tighter gun laws and greater awareness of societal violence — particularly domestic abuse.

New center will help students prepare for business careers abroad Exam will test students' prowess with business-related German language
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
An new interdisciplinary center at the University of Kansas will assist students looking for an edge in a competitive international market.
On Tuesday, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and the Center for International Business Education and Research, or CIBER, formed the Center for Germanic Business Language to teach, test and train students to compete for international business professions.
The newly created center has the approval of the Goethe Institute in Germany to certify students' German language proficiency.
The proficiency gives students an edge when they are looking for a job, said Melissa Birch, CIBER director.
"Now we are collaborating on the Center for Business Language that will really put KU on the map as a place where rigorous education in German language and culture is available to people who want to work in business," Birch said.
The center has been five years in the making, she said.
Jim Morrison, instructor in
German and co-director of the newly created center, said the first tests would be administered in December. Morrison and Rex Clark, the other co-director, were certified by the Goethe Institute to administer the German business language proficiency tests. The three-hour long test involves vocabulary, reading, listening, an oral exam and office scenario role playing to help test office skills, Morrison said.
Jörg Meindl, graduate teaching assistant in German, is training to test students at the center. He teaches a German for Professions class, which is the first of two classes for fourth-year students preparing to take the language proficiency test.
German employers have difficulty understanding what a transcript actually means and business language skills are not necessarily guaranteed in other classes, Meindl said. Five students are preparing to take the test this semester, he said.

Sometimes the boundaries are tested illegally. Virtually all marijuana seized by KU Public Safety officers this year was from Oliver and McCollum. Several reports of alcohol poisoning this semester have come from the two halls. The two rapes reported in 2006 were from McCollum and the Towers. The parking lots and bike racks outside Oliver and the Towers are popular places for thieves looking for bikes and vandals who smash
"They're busy, trying, to find their boundaries," Bailey said.
car mirrors or bend windshield wiper blades. The most reported crime on campus is theft, most often of bikes, cell phones or wallets.
The Rolla, Mo., junior, said there was less supervision at the Towers than at residence halls because resident assistants were less visible.
One desk attendant at McCollum spoke on condition of anonymity, because the Department of Student Housing threatens to discipline employees who speak to the media, said it was surprising to learn that McCollum had so many crimes reported.
Ashlen Williams, a Towers resident, said she saw other Towers residents not locking their doors because they were afraid they would lock themselves out.
Towers guests don't have to check in. Though keycards are required to get inside, Williams said that sometimes doors got propped open on weekends and anyone could walk in.
The Towers tend to draw older residents who have more connections off campus and who may be old enough to legally purchase alcohol.
"It's been quiet times when I've been on duty," the attendant said. "I don't feel less safe there than I do anywhere else."
"We lock our doors and go on with our business," Williams said. "I feel pretty safe. I don't really think about it."
Kansan staff writer David Linhardt can be contacted at dlinhardt@ kansan.com.
Williams' roommate Carey Krovatin, Piscataway, N.J., junior, said she liked living in the Towers because she felt more secure. She said she hadn't been a victim of any crime in the three years she had lived in campus housing.
Richards rose to the governorship with a victory against millionaire cowboy Clayton Williams in 1990. She celebrated by holding up a T-shirt that showed the state Capitol and read: "A woman's place is in the dome."
The silver-haired, silver-tongued Richards said she entered politics to help others — especially women and minorities who were often ignored by Texas' male-dominated establishment.
Four years later, she was chairwoman of the Democratic convention that nominated Bill Clinton for president.
AUSTIN, Texas — Former Gov. Ann Richards, the witty and flamboyant Democrat who went from homemaker to national political celebrity, died Wednesday night after a battle with cancer, a family spokeswoman said. She was 73.

"I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.'
"Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."
As governor, Richards championed what she called the "New Texas," appointing more women and more minorities to state posts than any of her predecessors.
I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, "She opened government to everyone," Richards said shortly before leaving office in January 1995.
She grabbed the national spotlight with her keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention. Richards won cheers from delegates when she said that Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astraire did, "only backwards and in high heels."
She was governor for one term, losing her re-election bid to Republican George W. Bush.
Richards sealed her partisan reputation with a blast at George H. Bush, vice president at the time:

NBC to stream six shows on Web
BY GARY GENTILE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The network, starting Oct. 1, will begin streaming on the Internet episodes of all six of its new prime-time series one day after their network airing.
LOS ANGELES — NBC is about to join CBS, ABC and Fox in offering free, advertising-supported shows online.
The episodes will run on the network's video player, called NBC 24/7, the network said Wednesday. The episodes will be accompanied by blogs from the shows producers,
writers or stars.
The network said it would air the first four episodes of its new comedies, "30 Rock," and "Twenty Good Years," and the first eight episodes of its new dramas, "Kidnapped," "Friday Night Lights" "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" and "Heroes."
NBC will also allows fans to interact with the creators of all its shows on the night of their premiers, the company said.
The goal is to help promote the new shows and experiment with giving viewers multiple options to view them, the company said. NBC also sells episodes of some of its on shows
"When you launch a new season, it's important that you get the shows in front of as many eyeballs as possible," said Jeff Gaspin, president of NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, in a statement.
Apple Computer Inc's iTunes store for $1.99 each.
ABC, last fall, was the first network to sell its shows online and stream free, ad-supported episodes on the Web. That network said Wednesday it would resume the free streaming, adding several new shows, including "Six Degrees," "Ugly Betty," "The Knights of Prosperity" and "The Nine."
FOUR SQUARE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Wednesday, Jay Warring, Paola junior, saw his girlfriend playing a pick-up game of four square with Nguyen and Vierhalter. He decided to play too.
"If you get out, it doesn't mean you really lost, you just get back in," Warring said.
The next opportunity for Nguyen to reapply for funding will be at student senate committee meetings on Sept. 20.

Warring said he liked the game because it was easy and quick.

TICKETS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said, "We really do not have any intention of changing the policy."
The department is an autonomous organization and can set departmental policies at its own discretion.
Marchiony said that the policy was common at many schools and that it was used for all NCAA championship events in every sport, as well as the Big 12 Championships.
Students can purchase singlegame or season tickets for children and spouses at student prices of $10 and $45, respectively.
Parents can enroll their children in the Junior Jayhawk Club, which gives the child free admission to the first three football games and allows parents to purchase single-game tickets for $25. Junior Jayhawk Club members also get free admission to all athletics events except men's basketball.
With a family plan, parents can purchase football season tickets for two adults and two children for $300. Season tickets for additional children can be purchased for $50.
Even though children two or younger must have a ticket, several programs exist for reduced costs for infants, Marchiony said.

OUR VIEW
The business, which has been open for seven years, has not negatively affected the community and has continued to comply with the city. The city certainly has a right to rezone the business but must do so in a way that works for both parties.
City should compromise with bawdy boutique
OPINION
Osburn said that even before he opened the business he checked several times with City Hall to find out about any regulations. He received no complaints from City Hall until 2000 when a law was discovered that shops like his were required to be located on a state highway.
Those searching for late-night fun at Naughty But Nice may notice something odd about the store. It resembles more of an office supply store than an adult novelty store.
To remain at the 1741 Massachusetts St. location, storeowner Richard Osburn has replaced some of his adult products with rubber bands, paper clips and cheap books to comply with a city ordinance that requires a certain percentage of the store's sales to be of a nonadult nature. This has yet to satisfy the city, however, continuing to hit Osburn in the pocketbook and leaving him outraged.
"They don't have to agree with my business, but they should agree with my fairness," Osburn said.
In July of 2000, the city gave
him five years to relocate or close his doors. Still today he fights with the city. This past March he appeared before the board of zoning and appeals after threats to relocate the business.
In a six-to-one ruling, the board ruled it did not have the power to allow the city to rezone the store.
The fight that Osburn has put up is one that could be avoided. He said he doesn't mind moving, but with strict guidelines regarding where he can and can't move and other variables, moving will cost him even more money.
The city has intentionally tried to run Osburn out of business by placing strict rules and causing him to spend $6,000 in lawyer fees.
While the city continues to flex its muscles, Osburn said he would continue to fight for his rights, as he should.
"It's sad that it comes to this"
he said.
Osburn makes a good point when he says that if there weren't a market for his store he wouldn't be in business. While the city may not like the name of the store, the products that it sells or its location, the city must find a compromise to a situation that has dragged on far too long.

Alcohol-free can be fun
But what you may not know is that this flier for Rock Chalk Responsible Choices is, in every way, about you.
I'm sure you saw me passing out little blue fliers on Wescoe Beach over the past few days. (I'll give you a second to dig that piece of paper out of the bottom of your book bag.) I'm also sure you were irritated having to deal with another solicitation on campus.
Tonight is the kickoff event for Rock Chalk Responsible Choices, beginning at 7:00 pm in Budall Hall. RC-squared, as it's more commonly known, began when the NCAA provided KU with a grant to promote responsible decision making at the University.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Sitting in Budig listening to a lecture on the benefits of being alcohol-free is not an ideal Thursday. And in many cases you would be right.
However, I would not have stood in sandals on Wescoe in what felt
like 40-degree fall weather for something that I didn't believe would be beneficial for you. The purpose of this event is to promote responsible choices, not self-denial.
Highlights will include a presentation by women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson and chances to win free stuff.
That's right, I said it ... free! A word every college student loves.
But that's not all. The largest group in attendance will win an alcohol-free tailgate before the football game against South Florida.
You will also all have a chance to win an exclusive VIP experience at Late Night in the Phog.
So come. Bring a friend. Bring all your friends. Make new random acquaintances and bring them, because who wouldn't want to win free stuff?

POLITICAL COMMERCIAL EXPLORATION
Smoking ban ignores business owners'rights
To the girl who was wearing her pants so low she had pubic hairs coming out of the top: you just made me throw up.
COMMENTARY
Freedom is under attack in Lawrence, and it's disturbing that no one seems to care. College students are supposed to want to protect our freedoms above all else. But, if anything, most people are joining in on the attack and denigrating those who stand against it.
The attack I speak of is the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants. Advocates of the smoking ban characterize bar owners as money-hungry capitalists and smokers as gluttonies, neither of whom are willing to allow health-conscious nonsmokers to eat their meals in peace. An editorial in Monday's Kansan implied that there was no difference between allowing people to smoke in public places and allowing "a person to urinate in your beverage without your consent." This is a wildly inaccurate view of the situation.
For any business to succeed, it has to be able to make its customers happy. A business allows people to smoke because it's the best way for the business to make money. If a local bar or restaurant got more customers by banning smoking, it would ban smoking. But any Lawrence restaurant that allowed smoking before the ban did so because it made more money that way.
Many people have suggested that the best way to think of capitalism is as economic democracy. Your money is your "vote," and the businesses with the most votes get to keep running. Those bars that

allowed smoking before the ban did so because it gained them more votes. The freedom to gain those votes however a bar or restaurant owner wishes — by banning smoking or by allowing smoking — was an important freedom, as we can see from the dissatisfaction of the bar owners who want that freedom back.
It's also very important to realize that these businesses are privately owned, and decisions should be made by the owners. The idea that a bar allowing smoking is akin to someone "urinating in your beverage without your consent" is absurd. Giving private business owners the ability to make their own decisions is a fundamental freedom. If you feel that someone smoking in a bar is like someone urinating in your drink, then act accordingly: Stop patronizing that bar. If enough people feel that way, the bar will close down or change its ways. But if more people enjoy urinating in beverages, or in this case, smoking in bars, and the owners consent, then its wrong to stop them.

Proponents of the smoking ban seem to believe that they have
Call 864-0500
Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Bar owners who simply want to make their own decisions about their own private businesses are villed. The Kansan editorial said that Dennis Steffes, owner of Coyote's and Last Call, was pursuing a "selfish" cause in his effort to be allowed to make his customers happy and earn a living. I'll concede that fighting for one's own freedom might be selfish, but I don't believe that makes it evil or wrong.
a right to eat on someone else's property free from smoke. That shouldn't be the case. If you went to someone's house and asked to smoke, and the house owner agreed, you should both be free to stand by those decisions, whether or not it made a third party upset. For the government to say that consenting adults can't make their own economic decisions is a restriction of freedom, plain and simple, and should be recognized as such.
It worries me that the same student body that will scream about the "freedom" to abort a baby or the "freedom" to check out bomb-making books at the library without government intrusion will so gleefully withhold the freedom to run a private business. I would hope that Lawrence residents would recognize that government intrusion into making a living is not noble, and protecting one's freedoms is not selfish.

Americans are superficial; we all know that. We live in a capitalist society where money is key and sex sells. So what's new? How about this: Superficiality apparently has become so prevalent that "peer disapproval and discomfort" were two of the top reasons why college-aged bicyclists don't wear helmets, according to a 2005 article in the Journal of American College Health.
As exaggerated of an outcome as this may seem, it happens more frequently than you might think. In 2005 alone,784 bicyclists died on US roads. Two-thirds of these deaths were related to severe brain injury and up to 88 percent could have been prevented with the proper use of a helmet, according to the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute. In fact, in 97 percent of bicyclist deaths, a helmet wasn't worn, according to a Bicycle Retailer and Industry News article.
I purchased a bike this semester for my sole means of transportation. My friends, classmates and co-workers' first question for me was, predictably, "did you buy a helmet?" When I responded yes, my initial embarrassment passed. Instead, I was flooded with wonder as each person in turn responded with laughter and jokes. After a few such encounters, I started to wonder why everyone is so concerned about people, especially adults, taking a safety precaution in a situation that could potentially lead to brain injury or death.
The purpose of the study that named "peer disapproval and discomfort" as the main reasons for college students not wearing helmets was to come up with a marketing strategy to make helmet-wearing "socially acceptable" within this peer group. The conclusion of this study, taken on a campus in the Southeastern United States, was that a sassy slogan such as "The Grateful Head" and commitment from other bikers on campus to use helmets was necessary in order to change the habits of non-wearers. Is our generation so dependent upon others' ill-based judgments that we will not look out for out own well being? Apparently so.
The same study showed that 18 percent of the college bikers interviewed had been hospitalized for biking injuries. "All it takes is one fall to suffer a serious head injury. That is why even the most accomplished riders wear helmets," said Linda Armstrong Kelly, mother of Lance Armstrong, in the same Bicycle Retailer and Industry News article.
Save the superficialities for the outfit you wear crashing the house party on Friday or the Northface you sport once the crisp October air hits. If you ride a bike, get a helmet. Better to safely embrace socially unacceptable accessories than to be scraped off the sidewalk. Rock the helmet.

Budget cuts diminish child obesity prevention
Pro-exercise VERB campaign cut despite results
BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - One-fifth of children are likely to be obese by 2010, yet the government killed a promising program that portrayed exercise as cool.
Other efforts to turn the tide of childhood obesity are scattershot and don't have enough money, the Institute of Medicine said Wednesday.
The institute did find some encouraging signs that the threat to children's health is being taken seriously. Programs that target youngsters' growing waistlines are spruiting nationwide, it said.
But no one knows which programs really help kids slim down, the institute said, calling for research to identify the best methods.
More troubling is that the country lacks the national leadership needed to speed change, lamented an expert panel convened by the scientific group.
"Is this as important as stockpiling antibiotics or buying vaccines? I think it is," said Jeffrey Koplan, vice president of academic health affairs at Emory University, who led the IOM's panel. "This is a major health problem. It is of a different nature than acute infectious threats, but it needs to be taken just as seriously."
To reinforce that point, Wednesday's report spotlighted the government's VERB campaign, a program once touted as spurring a 30 percent increase in exercise among the preteens it reached. It ended this year with Bush administration budget cuts.
VERB encouraged 9- to 13-year-olds to take part in physical activities. Slick ads, costing $59 million last year, portrayed exercise as cool at an age when outdoor play typically winds down and adolescent slothfulness sets in.
The program's demise "calls into question the commitment to obesity prevention within government," the panel concluded.
Koplan, a former CDC director, was more blunt, calling it a waste of taxpayer money to develop a program that works and then dismantle it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is "trying to do everything we can to package the research and lessons learned from VERB so it can inform campaigns local groups might take on throughout the country," responded CDC spokesman Jeff McKenna.
The report cites other examples of promising federal programs that have yet to reach their potential. Kids gobbled fruits and vegetables in an Agriculture Department school snack program, but it only reaches 14 states. And CDC's main anti-obesity initiative had enough money this year to fund just 28 states starting childhood nutrition and exercise programs.
The report also lauded some creative state and local efforts, including:
-A California program, started in Marin County, to build new sidewalks and bike paths that's getting more children to walk or bike to school.
A community garden project in New York City's Harlem neighborhood to increase inner-city youngsters' access to healthful food and safe recreation.
—An effort by Arkansas schools to notify parents when students are overweight. Combined with new school menus and physical activity programs, the initiative recently reported a leveling off of the states child obesity rate.
The IOM, which advises the government on health matters, in 2004 called for a joint attack on childhood obesity by parents, schools, communities, the food industry and government. Wednesday's report was the first checkup.
"We still are not doing enough to prevent childhood obesity, and the problem is getting worse," Koplan concluded. "The current level of public and private sector investments does not match the extent of the problem."
More than individual programs, full-scale social change is needed for healthful eating and physical activity to become the norm, added panelist Toni Yancey, of the University of California-Los Angeles.
Some 17 percent of U.S. youngsters already are obese, and millions more are overweight. Obesity can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, sleep problems and other disorders.
Wednesday's report shows "what the country is doing is like putting a Band-Aid on a brain tumor," said Margo Wootan of the consumer advocacy Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Gay affair admitted on show
BY ANGELA DELLI SANTI ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. — Former Gov. James E. McGreevey revealed during an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he was having an affair with another man while his wife was hospitalized for the birth of their child, according to audience members.
A dozen friends of McGreevy who attended had to sign confidentiality agreements for Regan Books,
which is publishing McGreevey's political memoir. The hourlong program will be broadcast Sept. 19, the day McGreevey's much-anticipated "The Confession," hits bookstores and he embarks on a national book tour.
The nation's first openly gay governor told Winfrey he believed he was in love with the man, who would become a central figure in his downfall, said two audience members who agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity. Winfrey asked them not to divulge the contents of the broadcast, which was taped in Chicago on Tuesday.
McGreevey, 49, stunned the nation on Aug. 12, 2004, when he said he had been involved in an affair with a man and would resign. McGreevey later identified the man as Golan Cipel, though Cipel has repeatedly denied being gay. The lawyer who represented Cipel, Allen Lowy, would not comment Wednesday.
In the interview, the audience members said Winfrey explores McGreevey's lifelong struggle with his sexuality.
McGreevey recounted going to the library as an adolescent to look up the word "homosexual" in a dictionary. When he found it included terms like "perverse" and "psychiatric disorder," the Irish-Catholic said he quickly learned to repress his feelings, audience members said.
The American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from a list of mental disorders in 1973.
The interview also explores how McGreevey came out to his wife and parents, how his life is more authentic today, and what life is like with Australian financial adviser Mark O'Donnell, whom he refers to as his "life partner", the audience members said.
McGreevey has been publicly silent since stepping out of the public eye. A lawyer, he has pursued education policy initiatives, including work on behalf of a Kean University campus in China.

Text messages a new tool used for recruiting
Women's basketball began the craze which spread to six other KU sports
BY C.J. MOORE
Whenever Bonnie Henrickson is on the road she has the steering wheel in one hand and her cell phone in the other.
"Don't tell police in Lawrence, but I've gotten pretty good at texting and driving," Henrickson, KU women's basketball coach. said.
Henrickson is sending text
Henrickson messages to recruits, a practice that women's basketball popularized, which is crossing over to other collegiate sports. At Kansas, seven of the programs use text.
"We're all concerned, and the reason we're concerned about it is: how in the world are we going to manage it?"
Carolyn Campbell-McGovern, Senior Associate Director with the Ivy League Athletics Conference, drafted an amendment to the NCAA bylaw regarding telephone calls and electronically transmitted correspondence that would prohibit sending instant messages and text messages to recruits.
messaging as part of their recruiting, according to Theresa Becker, the director of compliance for the Athletics Department.
McGovern said text messag-
problematic.
Whereas the men's program at Kansas is established and well-known across the country, Hennickson is trying to build her program from the ground up and it starts with recruiting.
THERESA BECKER Director of compliance
"I think it is important. I think it should be utilized. But I'm not going to sit on my phone and text message kids and spend all da doing that." Self said.
Henrickson and her assistants put more of an emphasis on text messaging. They started sending recruits text messages three years ago and Henrickson estimated that she sent 10 texts per day. She even got a new phone that has an keypad that makes sending messages more efficient.
Text messaging is different from other modes of communication, like telephone calls, because there are practically no NCAA restrictions on sending text messages to prospects. Coaches can send an unlimited number of text messages to a recruit but can only make a certain number of phone calls per week.
"If it allows us to outwork people, we're all for it," Hendrickson said.
KU men's basketball coach Bill Self primarily uses text messages to get recruits to call him. Self said that his assistants sent texts more than he did, and that he relied on written letters and actual phone calls instead.
"For a lot of kids, they're comfortable texting. For us, obviously, it doesn't count as a phone call. We can only call a prospect once a week, but it's a great way to get them to call us because they can call our 800 number an unlimited number of times during certain periods." Henrickson said.
Unfortunately for Henrickson, the popularity of text messages and the lack of NCAA restrictions on electronically transmitted correspondence — e-mail, instant messenger, text messages — has become
ing was too intrusive. Some coaches were even hiringpeople to send text messages to recruits, a practice the NCAA banned in August, making it legal for
only full-time coaches to send text messages. McGovern said coaches had started sending text messages at inappropriate times and the volume of messages had started to interfere with prospects' lives.
"The legislation, the regulations that the NCAA has have not caught up with technology yet. So we just want to figure out what's the best solution for regulating text messages," McGovern said.
Becker said she would prefer that the NCAA leave text messaging alone or ban it completely.
Self agreed with Becker, but Henrickson doesn't want to see text messages go. She likes the opportunity to outwork her colleagues. Henrickson said that women's basketball programs across the nation were at the front end of the text messaging craze and that it was more popular in women's basketball than any other sport. She said it has helped her sign recruits.
"We're all concerned, and the reason we're concerned about it is: how in the world are we going to manage it? How are we going to monitor it?" Becker said.
"I think women - not being stereotypical or sexist - but I think women want to communicate more and it's a way to get to know a coach or their staff." Henrickson said.
Both McGovern and the AECC's proposals could be voted on as soon as January and, if accepted, a change would go into effect August 1, 2007.
If the NCAA does ban text messaging, Henrickson might have to put down the cell phone, move her hands to 10 and two and turn up the radio. That is, until coaches find more creative ways to recruit
"In another year or two there's going to be something different, something bigger," Becker said.

Nebraska shuts out Kansas
BY DREW DAVISON
LINCOLN, Neb. — With a running start, Jordan Larson throws the ball up about ten feet in the air and spins the ball so it goes on a kamikaze dive right after it crosses the net.
KANSAS
Whenever Larson, a Nebraska sophomore, went back to hit her serve, Kansas' Jamie Mathewson tried not to think.
Larson unleashed those serves often last night, helping No. 1 Nebraska to a three-game sweep of Kansas.
"You pretty much have to think, 'bring it,' because if you don't you're going to get caught on your heels," Mathewson said. "The ball will fall before you have time to think, so really you don't think about anything."
Mathewson led Kansas with 15 digs.
Nebraska (8-0, 1-0 conference)
defeated Kansas (7-3, 0-1)
in three games to open conference
play. The Cornhuskers won the
games 30-24, 30-21 and 30-24.
Larsonleads the Big 12 Conference in service aces, even though she tallied just two last night.
"It itseemed like she had more aces than that," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "If they don't ace you, they take you so far out of your system that you are running after the ball all the time. We had a hard time setting up."
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa stretches to reach a ball during the volleyball match Wednesday night in Lincoln, Neb. The Jayhawks were unable to win a game, getting swept by the No. 1-ranked Huskers to open the Big 12 season.

Jayhawks struggle to force turnovers, Mangino makes it point of emphasis
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
By denying Kansas the opportunity to set up, Nebraska was able to tally 14 blocks during the match compared with Kansas's six.

SEE VOLLEYBALL ON PAGE 2B
So far this season, Kansas has only caused two turnovers — a blocked punt and interception — and both were in its season-opening victory over Louisiana's Northwestern State. The Jayhawks scored a touchdown off the blocked punt but missed a field goal after the interception.
Bechard said Nebraska was physical, and half of the blocks came when Kansas was either out of its offensive system or had a missed hit.
After failing to force a turnover for the first time in seven games on Saturday, Kansas coach Mark Mangino made creating turnovers a point of emphasis for Friday's upcoming game at Toledo.

"We've been good at it in the past," Mangino said. "It's not like we weren't trying to get turnovers. Give Monroe credit, they took care of the ball very well."
Mangino said the team could do various drills to practice forcing turnovers, including stripping the ball from a running back or receiver and tipping the ball after a pass from the quarterback.
Entering its third game last season, Karas had only forced one turnover. That came in its second game against Appalachian State. The Jayhawks went on to force an additional 13, including at least one per game in all of its seven victories.
That number was down from the 22 turnovers Kansas forced in

A loss would seriously hamper Kansas' ability to qualify for a bowl in consecutive seasons and put immense pressure on the team to beat South Florida — a major conference opponent — just to keep its postseason hopes alive.

Senior defensive specialist Jamie Mathewson sets a ball during the Jayhawks' loss to Nebraska Wednesday night. The Jayhawks were unable to set their offense for much of the night because they were rattled by the Cornhuskers' serves.
A match with Nebraska in Lawrence is set for Nov. 22 and Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, thinks Kansas will put up a better fight.
"I don't think Nebraska is as good this year as last year, so I think we have a chance," she said. "I know we just lost 3-0, but I think if we work more, we can actually beat Nebraska."

Nebraska had 4,128 fans in attendance cheering on their team. In fact, the volleyball team sold out every game since 2001 and Husker fans camped out to buy tickets for single-match games before the season started.

Mangino again declined to announce whether sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib would return to the starting lineup. He said that it was possible, but that he hadn't decided yet.
The constant loud noise you may have heard coming from Memorial Stadium Wednesday afternoon was artificial crowd noise that was pumped in to help simulate what the atmosphere will be like during Friday's game at Toledo. Kansas' first road game kicks off at 7 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.

"We basically open it up and show everybody the way we do it ... and steal some ideas from the coaches in attendance."
Former Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich was in the news last month for his
that his players have improved from last season, especially sophomores Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers and Julian Wright.
BILL SELF Kansas men's basketball coach
At the same time, he has noticed what freshmen Brady Morningstar, Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins need to do to improve. He said
efforts on the USA National team during the FIBA World Championship in Japan. Hinrich averaged 5.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and ranked fourth overall in assists-to-turnovers ratio for the tournament.
Duke coach Mike Krzzyzewski took time away from the Blue Devils to coach the senior national team. Although Self is on the selection committee that chooses players for the junior national team he doesn't plan to coach at the international
level any time soon. He said he had thought about it, but wouldn't be able to coach for at least a couple of years.
Self optimistic about football team
Before leaving town to make recruiting visits, Self attended the Kansas football game against Louisiana-Monroe.
A regular at home football games, Self was impressed with ULM sophomore quarterback Kinsman Lancaster's 377-passing-yard performance. However, Self didn't think the 21-19 final score accurately reflected how good Kansas could be this season.
"We should be encouraged that we're 2-0 going on the road, getting ready to be 3-0, because I think we're going to have a great football season," Self said.
Globetrotters add another Jayhawk
Former Kansas forward Bryant Nash was one of six players offered a contract by the Harlem Globetrotters last month. Nearly 50 players participated in the first open-player tryout in more than 20 years. The Globetrotters already features former Kansas guard Michael Lee.
Self wasn't surprised that the
Globetrotters were interested Nash's athleticism.
He said that Bryant was one of the best athletes to go through Kansas in a long time, and that he could do things physically that very few people could do. Bryant will be a nice addition to the Globetrotters, Self said.
Bill Self Coaches Clinic information announced
The 2006 Bill Self Kansas Coaches Clinic has been scheduled for Oct. 28 at Allen Fieldhouse.
The clinic features presentations by the Kansas basketball staff, an invitation to a Kansas basketball practice and a ticket to the Kansas vs. Colorado football game, but the focus is on discussing different coaching philosophies.
"There's a million different ways to do it so we basically open it up and show everybody the way we do it and share some positive ideas with them," Self said. "And also steal some ideas from the coaches in attendance because it does become kind of an open-forum format."

Royals beat Indians, sweep road series for first time in nearly three years
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — Jorge De La Rosa pitched five solid innings and Emil Brown homered to help Kansas City defeat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 Wednesday night as the Royals gained their first road series sweep in more than three years.
Shane Costa had three hits for
the Royals, whose modest two-game winning streak gave them a road sweep for the first time since taking three in a row July 11-13, 2003 at Texas. Their 86 consecutive series without a sweep was the third-longest streak in history, two behind the Montreal Expos in 1995-98. The Washington Senators went 100 series without a sweep in 1901-05.
De La Rosa (3-2) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks in his first start in eight days.
The Royals acquired the lefty from the Milwaukee Brewers on July 25 — the day he came off the disabled list after missing more than six weeks with a similar blister.
Grady Sizemore gave Cleveland a 1-0 lead in the third with his 24th
homer. Cleveland then loaded the bases on a single and two walks, but got only Casey Blake's sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.
David Defesus singled and scored on a double to right by Esteban German, who was thrown out trying for third. Mark Grudzielanek then singled, took second on a ground-out, and was thrown out by Blake trying to score on another single by Costa.
The Royals tied it with a four-hit fourth against Jake Westbrook (12-10). Consecutive singles by Brown, Costa and Ryan Shealy made it 2-1. Joey Gathright later added an RBI single.
The Royals went 4-for-5 in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead.
Two more singles and an RBI fielder's choice by Gathright in the sixth made it 4-2. Brown's 14th homer, a two-run shot off Rafael Betancourt, made it 6-2 in the seventh.
Westbrook allowed four runs and 11 hits during six innings. In his previous start Sept. 6, he gave up 11 hits in six innings in a loss to Toronto.

Denver Broncos starting quarterback Jack Plummer changes the play at the line of scrimmage on the STL. Rams defense in the second quarter of an NFL football game Sunday in St. Louis. Plumer maintains that his struggles in the game were temporary, and he will be ready on Sunday.
Plummer struggles in opener
BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Jake Plummer insists it's not time to dust off the old "Jake the Snake" moniker.
Denver's quarterback said he hasn't reverted to his old reckless ways even though he had four turnovers in the Broncos' season-opening loss at St. Louis.
He threw just seven interceptions last season, when he led the Broncos to the cusp of the Super Bowl, so he understands why people might think he's going backward now.
"For one game, if I did (revert), then I guess it is a fair assessment," said Plummer, who threw three interceptions and also lost a fumble
in the 18-10 loss.
Plummer called it an aberration, not a digression.
"I'm going to bounce back," he pledged. "I've bounced back from worse games than that. I feel the two throws that I made on the move, I could make better throws. I've made those plays a hundred times. But that's just the pressure I've got to put on myself to make a more accurate throw, to make those plays."
Plummer needn't worry about losing the locker room. His teammates have his back.
"I haven't lost any confidence in Jake," safety Nick Ferguson said, echoing the sentiment in all corners. "Being a Bronco quarterback comes with a lot of scrutiny. There is more
pressure. Jake has been there before.
He's bounced back before and will
bounce back again."
Even cornerback Ty Law of the Kansas City Chiefs, who visit Invesco Field on Sunday, came to Plummer's defense, saying: "You can't blame Jake for everything that happened. Sometimes you just get bad breaks."
Or have poor protection or your receiver mistimes his jump.
Still, Plummer threw off is back foot on his first interception, overthrew a wide open receiver on his second one and inexplicably threw into heavy coverage on his third, negating all the good things Denver's defense did in holding the Rams out of the end zone on five trips inside the 20.

A nearly perfect day

ASSOCIATED PRESS
White Sox 9, Angels 0
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Freddy Garcia pitched perfect ball until Adam Kennedy singled with two outs in the eighth inning, and the White Sox defeated the Angels. Garcia (14-9) retired the first 23 batters before Kennedy cleanly lined the 100th pitch to center field on a 3-2 count.
Garcia came close to the first perfect game in the majors since Randy Johnson did it for Arizona at Atlanta on May 18, 2004. There have been only 14 regular-season perfect games in the majors since 1900.
The White Sox moved within 1 1/2 games of Minnesota for the AL wild card race. The Angels began the day on the fringe of the AL West and wild card chases.
In control the whole way, Garcia (14-9) struck out three and walked none in eight innings. Neal Cotts pitched a perfect ninth to complete the one-hitter.
Pirates 2, Brewers 1, 2nd game
Pirates 2, Brewers 1, 2nd game
PITTSBURGH — Ben Sheets took a perfect-game bid into the seventh inning before Chris Duffy led off with a single, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 Wednesday to split a doubleheader.
In the opener, Freddy Sanchez got three hits and Ian Snell struck out 10 as Pittsburgh won 6-3. Sheets (5-6) gave up two hits and struck out 10 in eight innings. He did not walk a batter. One pitch after Duffy singled, Sheets picked him off first base.
Geoff Jenkins and Prince Fielder homered as the Brewers won for only the second time in their last seven games and fourth time in their last 19. Ryan Doumit homered in the Pirates' eighth.
Twins 1, Athletics 0
MINNEAPOLIS — Rookie Francisco Liriano's highly anticipated return to the Minnesota rotation came to a sudden halt because of elbow problems Wednesday. Dan Haren pitched eight shutout innings, leading the Oakland Athletics over the Twins 1-0.
Pitching for the first time in more than a month, Liriano slumped off the mound in the middle of the third inning. Trainers and manager Ron Gardenhire immediately Rushed out to attend to the All-Star lefty and a hush fell over the crowd.
Matt Garza (1-5) pitched well in emergency relief, but he was out dueled by Haren (14-11). Huston Street picked up his 32nd save.
The Twins, leading the AL wild-card race, announced later that he had pain in his left elbow.
ATLANTA - Left fielder Matt Diaz missed David Dellucci's line drive in the eighth inning, allowing two runs to score as the Phillies rallied from an early five-run deficit to beat Atlanta in the first game of a doubleheader.
SEATTLE — Gregg Zaun hit a grand slam during a nine-run fourth inning and also had a solo home run, leading A.J. Burnett and the Blue Jays over the Mariners.
Blue Jays 10, Mariners 0
John Hattig, who last month became the first player from Guam in the major leagues, hit a three-run double for his first career RBIs.
Toronto took two of three at Safeco Field and won a season series at Seattle for the first time since May 2001.
The Phillies began the day two games behind San Diego in the NL wild-card race.
Cha Seung Baek (3-1) allowed five runs on seven hits in 3 1-3 innings.
Burnett (8-7) allowed six hits in eight innings. He struck out a season-high 11, walked two and hit a batter.
Zaun matched career highs with five RBIs in a game and 11 home runs in a season.
The Braves led 5-0 after two innings. Despite Gold Glove center fielder Andruw Jones robbing Ryan Howard of an early grand slam, the Phillies came back with three runs in the third and three in the eighth. The Braves committed two errors in the eighth, allowing two unearned runs.

League clarifies rules on sliding
Green sustained a serious concussion last Sunday after a hit by Geathers and will miss at least two or three games.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NFL absolved Cincinnati defensive end Robert Geathers on Wednesday for his hit on Kansas City quarterback Trent Green, emphasizing quarterbacks are responsible for avoiding hits by sliding.
"The injury was unfortunate and has drawn much commentary, but it is not a foul," Ray Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president, said in a statement.
Anderson said a review of the play in Kansas City showed Green started "a late slide" as Geathers prepared to tackle him. At the same time, Geathers was blocked in the back by a Chiefs player, was no longer in control of his body and twisted to avoid driving his helmet into Green or hitting him helmet-to-helmet.
Since the hit, the Cincinnati Bengals lineman has been put in an uncomfortable position, watching all the replays and explaining why the play turned out that way.
Geathers' right shoulder, however, hit Green's shoulder and drove Green's head into the ground.
"it couldn't have done anything different," he said Wednesday, choosing his words carefully and sparingly.
That one shoulder-down hit has become the signature moment of Geathers' brief career.
A fourth-round draft pick from Georgia in 2004, Geathers lost his starting job this season and was relegated to rushing the passer — what he does best. He had six tackles and a pair of sacks Sunday, overshadowed by one play.
In a memo sent to all 32 teams Anderson said: "On sliding quarterback plays, the responsibility of defenders is to avoid a sliding quarterback while the responsibility of the quarterback is to use the protection properly. This rule will continue to be strictly enforced, and violations are likely to result in disciplinary action."
He cited a play in the Seattle-Detroit game as an example of an illegal hit. In that case, Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck broke out of the pocket and began a slide. Lions rookie linebacker Ernie Sims, who had the opportunity to avoid contact, drove his helmet into Hasselbeck while another defender, Cory Redding, jumped over the quarterback.
Anderson said quarterbacks who want to take advantage of the protection of a slide must start it before the prospect of imminent contact.
Sims drew a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness. Anderson said the play is being reviewed for a possible fine.

Astros win series finale
Houston still six games back of St. Louis for first place in NL Central, four games back in wildcard standings
ST.LOUIS — The Houston Astros know they are a long shot to make the playoffs. At least the defending NL champions enjoyed the end of their road trip.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roy Oswalt pitched shutout ball into the ninth inning and Lance Berkman hit his 40th home run, helping the Astros bounce back from a dispiriting loss to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday in the finale of a nine-game swing.
"I hope it carries over and gives us a little momentum going back home," manager Phil Garner said
The Astros ended a three-game losing streak and averted a three-game sweep against a team they're chasing in the NL Central.
after the Astros concluded the trip 4-5. "We need to re-establish ourselves."
Chris Burke, starting at second base for the second straight game in place of slumping Craig Biggio, had two hits and two RBIs. Still, Houston was six games behind the Cardinals in the Central and four games back in the wild card standings with only 17 games left.
"We're so far behind that we have to win every series for sure." Oswalt said. "Then we'll just see what it

ends up."
loust
Garner said he hasn't attempted to calculate what it would take to extend what has been a frustrating season for the Astros (71-74).
"We're not even at .500" he said.
"We can't even start to play those kind of games yet."
The Cardinals got only two runners into scoring position before the ninth against Oswalt (13-8), who gave up one run and seven hits in 8 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.
Jason Marquis (14-15) pitched on three days' rest for the eighth time in his career and lasted only 10 batters. The Astros batted around in a four-run first, including a bases-loaded walk to Luke Scott, a two-run single by Burke and an RBI single by Eric Bruntlett.
"I felt fine, I warmed up fine," Marquis said. "It just didn't translate and carry over to the game"
Berkman was 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series with five strikeouts before going 3-for-4 with a walk in the finale. He was a triple shy of the cycle, and his homer off Josh Hancock in the sixth gave the Astros a 5-1 lead.
"I did not have my best fastball, but I was able to spot it," Oswalt said. "You get to go after guys. They were swinging at some early pitches, so I was able to get deep into the ballgame."
With one out in the ninth, the Cardinals hit three consecutive singles off Oswalt for their lone run. Trever Miller relieved and got one out. Dan Wheeler earned his fifth save in seven chances by striking out pinch-hitter Preston Wilson.
Oswalt is 4-0 in his last five starts, matching his season-best, four-game winning streak, and has won five straight September decisions dating to last season. Working with a big lead, he was able to challenge the hitters.
Marquis was pulled after yielding a leafoot hit to Willy Taveras in the second after laboring for 52 pitches.

SEX ON THE HILL
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2006
editor's note
Here it is: the provocative special section known as Sex on the Hill. The idea that sex sells certainly applies to this 2006 edition.
Because of the advertising staff, The University Daily Kansan was able to create a 16-page section, the largest in at least the last several years. The advertising crew should certainly be thanked for their efforts, along with the designers, writers, photographers and editors who contributed. They all put in a lot of time to provide a section that I hope you all enjoy.
From health concerns and opinion columns to talking dirty and a woman who exposes it all, there should be a variety of articles that intrigue the KU campus.

Sex on the Hill tends to offend some people, and well, I think it probably will this time too. But it can also provide interesting facts and helpful hints for those who are having sex or thinking about sex. For a lot of students, it is on their minds constantly, so here is a section completely, or explicitly, dedicated to sex.
Sex on the Hill was designed by Jacky Carter and Drew Bergman.

DO YOU PREFER HAVING SEX WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK OR SOBER?

"I'm gonna say drunk because if you end up regretting it, you can just say you don't remember. Just pretend like it never happened."
"I'd say sober because I know what I'm doing a little better and I'm not as sloppy. Although drunk isn't so bad because you can go for a lot longer."

Midwesterner's candid sex column shocked readers
BY IAN STANFORD
Meghan Bainum sits on the futon in her Emery Road apartment, flipping through the pages of "The Age of Faith," the 1086-page fourth installment of Will Durant's eleven-volume set that Bainum has been reading off and on for the past few years, collectively titled "The Story of Civilization."
She's dressed in ripped jeans, a T-shirt, and worn sneakers. Black-rimmed glasses and a lipring adorn her pale face, and her body art — four tattoos thus far — is a "work in progress."
Not what you might expect for America's sexiest co-ed, as Playboy proclaimed Bainum in 2002.
But like it or not, Bainum, a 2004 journalism graduate from Dover, was a pioneer. The informative yet witty sex column she wrote in The University Daily Kansan from Fall 201 to Spring 2003, covering topics ranging from what foods to try during sex (almost anything in a squeeze bottle begs "sex play, please") to how to deal with the hair "down there" ("Try to trim your pubic hair into a shape. Be creative!"), was one of the first of its kind in the Midwest.
"There were a few other sex columnists on the liberal, sexually enlightened coasts," she said. "But I was writing from Kansas, where the 'old guard' still believes that people wait until their wedding night to have sex."
For Bainum, starting a sex column at the University setting seemed perfectly logical.
"Here we are shipped off to college, away from our parents, 18 years old, and curious. It's a time when you learn about yourself sexually."
Bainum's columns were met with unyielding media attention. She was profiled in The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, the
Chronicle of Higher Education, The Associated Press, Esquire, and Inside Edition, among others. She wrote a bi-monthly column for the Chicago Sun Times, and a guest column for Playboy, accepting an invitation to pose nude in the February 2003 issue of the latter, when she was a senior.
"It was really cool to play around in someone else's underwear," Bainum said of the Playboy photo shoot, for which the magazine flew her to Chicago and put her up in a "posh-ass" hotel. "The whole atmosphere was very relaxed."
What was not relaxing for Bainum was the criticism she received from the Lawrence community and the state of Kansas.
Kansas Senator Tim Huelskamp (R-Fowler) called Bainum's columns, in an online newsletter dated March 31, 2003, "better suited for the brown-paper covers of X-rated magazines."
The criticism was not limited to Republicans over 40 years old.
"Students openly questioned my morals. It was a lot to take. It's unfortunate that, in this society, girl plus sex equals slut."
It was especially frustrating. Bainum said, when students could not differentiate the things that she wrote about from what she personally indulges in during sex.
"The column was not about my sex life. A lot of the things I wrote about I learned from talking to other people," Bainum said. "There are people out there who enjoy, for example, using costumes for role play as a part of a healthy sexual relationship, and my columns were for those who wanted to explore themselves sexually. I didn't want to turn the entire University into dildo-wielding anal bangers."
In fact, Bainum considers herself to be pretty basic when it comes to sex.
"There isn't a sex swing hang:
ing from my bedroom ceiling. People assume because of my column that every night I have fourteen guys covering me in marshmallows and chocolate syrup while I slap them with dildos."
What has she done in the sack?
"I've worn a cape, I've done a little spanking. I've also been a single girl, and have had some quality time with a vibrator."
The craziest thing Bainum admits to having ever done was giving a blow job in the back seat of her parents' car while they were preoccupied with singing Christmas carols.
"Those kinds of things just happen when you're sixteen with no privacy."
Today Bainum enjoys plenty of privacy, content for the meantime being a "T-shirt and jeans" girl.
Her work is still remembered in The Kansan newsroom.
advice from a sexpert
"Weghan approached sex intellectually, responsibly and without fear," said Malcolm Gibson, general manager and news adviser for The Kansan. "We've had other people try to follow in her footsteps with a sex column, but every attempt has been a miserable failure."
For a short time after graduating, Bainum wrote sex columns for Lawrence.com, but soon quit after being relentlessly attacked in online forums. A Los Angeles production company contacted Bainum about doing a nationally televised sex show, but she passed.
"They wanted me to take on this ultra sexy persona, and that's just not who I am. The fame wasn't worth selling out."
Meghan Bainum offers these tips for spicing up your sex life.
> "A common nickname for shaved genitalia is 'slick' — without hair to absorb sexual secretions, there's more wetness to go around."
> "Playing around with the inner lips (of the vagina), like gently tugging on them, can cause fantastic feelings for some females."
> "Lubricant can turn a dry, tired vagina or penis into a slip-n-slide of fun. If the lubricant runs out, saliva is the next best thing."
Ian Stanford
- "Costumes are a fun way to take sexual situations from routine to risqué, no walking around in the cold involved."
Currently she works at locallyowned Blue Collar Press producing concert button designs, and as a bartender at the Replay Lounge and Jackpot Saloon in downtown Lawrence.
"It's nice when people still approach me just to say that they remember something I wrote, or that they remember the Playboy spread. It's a little weird when strangers tell me that I have great, perky nipples, but whatever."
It has been at least two years since Bainum has done any writing. She sees herself pursuing writing — sex columns or something new — in the future.
But first, "The Story of Civilization."

Sex through the ages
Open talk of sex normal; where, when are the problems
BY CAITLIN THORNBRUGH
The nation's focus on scandal, controversy, innovation and most importantly sex, is no longer San Francisco or New York — it's right here in Lawrence.
For 141 years, the University of Kansas has been a prestigious school full of knowledge and opportunity. And for 141 years the students have been having sex here. Whether it was in the 1920s when girls were required to be in the dorms by 11 every night, or in 2006 when sex in the
libraries was not only happening but celebrated with Facebook groups. Sex is happening, evolving and influencing generation after generation.
Beth Bailey, a professor, historian and author of a historical work entitled "Sex in the Heartland," details the sexual revolution in the time of World War II through the '1970s. Her story is based in Lawrence.
"The sexual revolution was a process that fundamentally changed America," Bailey said. "Kansas is the quintessential
heartland. If it's happening in Kansas it's happening throughout the country"
Since the sexual revolution, many freedoms have been given to college students that were once considered shocking and disgraceful.
Chester Sullivan, English professor, has been working at the University for 31 years.
"The biggest difference between when I was in school is homosexuality, and how it is discussed in terms of course curriculum, newspapers and campus
groups," Sullivan said. "I was also surprised that in a writing class that I am teaching many people are living with their boyfriends or girlfriends outside of marriage."
Though the rules have changed, according to Sullivan, the fundamentals have stayed the same.
"Sex still occurred on campus," he said, "My friends, when I was an undergraduate, were sexually active."
While sex was definitely happening, reactions to sex were drastically different.
Bailey discussed a story that occurred on campus.
"Women had to be in the dorms by 11 at night, and when they were late three times they were grounded for the weekend," she said. "A man and woman went to a hotel for the night, and when the girl didn't return to her
dorm, the head mother called the police. The police tracked them down, brought them back to school and they were both kicked out."
Campus policies today are much more relaxed.
"I think that in some ways it's a little easier today," Bailey said. "There's less of your entire life being at stake for the sexual decisions you make in college."
Though getting booted for sexual intercourse is no longer an issue, the student body is still facing some challenges when it comes to having sex.
"From the perspective of myself, my friends and my roommates, one of the biggest challenges is getting it in the first place," Kansas City junior Brian Ervin said. "And the location — where it's going to go down."
Bailey also found challenges for sex in the new age.
"Technology has immensely complicated the process of courtship." Bailey said. "We are facing a new series of struggles in gender roles, but at the same time we are open to new ideas."
Bailey said the revolution and evolving of viewpoints regarding sexuality will continue.
"Lawrence is a much more complicated place than people who haven't been there can imagine," she said.
It's always been here, Sullivan says, but now it's much more readily discussed.
"There was just as much sexual activity when I was in college. It just wasn't as discussed. This is a good thing, because now we have a more liberal understanding," he said.
Froggy style or Italian chandelier you decide
BY LINDSAY WAPLES
If you find that your sex life has fallen into a slump, playing some between-the-sheets Twister might be just what you need. Everyone knows that variety is the spice of life, and the same rules apply to the bedroom. Many people don't know how to start rearranging their bedroom routine.
The Kama Sutra, originally written in Sanskrit between the first and fourth centuries, was an ancient how-to guide for sex. According to Anne Hooper, author of "Kama Sutra Sex Positions for Her and for Him," men of that time were expected to be tremendous lovers. The good news for ladies and men today is that modern Kama Sutra guides emphasize female and male favoring positions and contain fewer words with a lot more illustration.
Though the original Kama Sutra was different than the glossy, pornographic manuals today, the principle is the same;
its goal is to satisfy the human curiosity of sexuality.
Once a couple has decided that they are both comfortable and willing to experiment with Kama Sutra, they shouldn't just try these bedroom acrobatics on their own. It is easy to find a resource that will help couples start from novice positions to far more advanced arrangements. Position of the Day is an interactive manual that is fun to fill out as well as informative. The daily positions feature sections named "Equipment," "Hazards" and "Calories Burned," informing the participants on what to expect during their romp session. Users can add comments and rate the different positions, making it easy to return to favorites.
The Cosmo Kama Sutra compiled by the editors of Cosmopolitan is a flirty guide marketed more toward women than men. This guide boasts "secret body hot spots" and witty named positions like the "G-spot jiggy" and "Figure 8."
The positions include difficulty ratings and pre-sex stretches safety first. The colorful drawings and clever captions are amusing enough just to flip through.
Experts agree that having an active and satisfying sex life is more than just pleasurable. It's good for your physical and emotional health. Once you embellish your sexual repertoire, you should expect to feel happier and will become more resistant to physical and emotional pain. In their book, "The Good Sex Guide," Paula Hall and Julian Slowinski rave about the health benefits having sex can achieve. Sex can boost your immune system and increase lean body tissue. Hall and Slowinski also say sex can make you look four to seven years younger.
Most importantly, sex releases the chemical oxytContin, which is responsible for human bonding. It's true that the couple that plays together stays together. So go get busy, and don't forget to stretch.
Beastliness aside,men need a little sensitivity
Let's look at our childhoods shall we? A lot of students at the University watched Power Rangers as kids. In the show there was Jason, whose expertise was using his martial arts skills to punch grey people in the chest. There was Zach, who could really bust a move, when not punching those same grey people. Heck, even Billy "Computer-Nerd" got in on the putty pummelling. No matter who you are, what you do or what your problem was, a punch in the chest was the solution.
And that's my point. Where's the sensitivity? It seems like we're encouraged to leave our emotion at Shining Time Station and jump that first train out of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. Then as we grow up we're inundated with tough-guy images, barrel chests, cleft chins and many swaggers.

to support or to defend one's mate, progeny or property. The days of the saber tooth tiger have passed. A better way to give your mate support is to clutch her to your chest. There's nothing like a firm embrace to tell her: "If they clone a mastodon one day, I'll spear it down for you."
Frankly though, anyone who completely denies the appeal of a good cuddle has got to be fooling themselves. Even the toughest of men need a hug sometimes. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Schriver just celebrated their 20th anniversary. If The Terminator needs a warm body to hold on to, how can anyone claim to be too manly for it?
And at the very least, if your testosterone won't let you consider the psychological benefits of a cuddle buddy, then perhaps the fact that the added warmth of another body could cut your energy bill will appeal to your male frugality. It could save some money for beer or meat.

RUBBER RUNDOWN
How the condom went from fishskin to latex
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Flavored, textured, big, small, holiday-themed, celebrity-themed, glow in the dark, camo: the list goes on. However you prefer them or don't, condoms are a foundation of birth control and disease prevention that have been around for centuries.
Condoms can be traced back to Egypt around 1,000 B.C. Made from animal skin and eventually linen sheaths, imaginably they weren't as reliable as present day latex versions.
Fish and animal intestines were used as condoms around the 17th century in Europe. Casanova's known to have worn linen condoms during the 18th century
to prevent the spread of STDs.
Animal skin condoms, also known as natural condoms, are still available today, but they're not highly used.
"The animal type products are so porous that they really aren't very effective," said Kathy Guth, nurse practitioner who specializes in women's health at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Guth said today's latex condoms are about 90 percent effective.
Rubber condoms became available with the vulcanization of rubber in the mid 19th century. It wasn't until the 1930s that latex condoms became available.
"It is amazing what women and men have done throughout the centuries to
use some type of birth control," Guth said.
Not only are today's condoms more effective, they're also inexpensive. Condoms are three for 50 cents at Watkins.
Guth said the condom and the diaphragm are among the oldest forms of birth control used. Women once used half a lemon as a diaphragm before modern day designs became available. According to Guth the acidity of a lemon actually helped it to be a fairly effective method of birth control.
Guth recommends using condoms for at least six months into a new relationship.
"They had to come up with something that they could use besides a chastity belt that would work," Guth said.
The Food and Drug Administration advises using condoms made of latex with a disease prevention claim on the package label. Only water-based lubricants should be used because oilbased lubricants can affect a condom's makeup.
Fish and animal intestines were used as condoms around the 17th century in Europe. Animal skin condoms are still available today, but they're not highly used.
doms in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. They shouldn't be kept in a pocket or wallet for more than a few hours at a time.
Condoms labeled "novelty" shouldn't be used as a method of protection. According to the FDA these are intended only for stimulation.
The FDA recommends using a lubricant if you're using a non-lubricated condom because it can help prevent breakage and irritation.
Most condom problems occur because they aren't properly used.

gender, sexuality and women, said condoms are unique because they require the complicity of men.
"To a certain degree a woman who's having sex with a man and asks him to wear a condom relies more on him then as would be the case if she was taking the pill."
There could be more options ahead for men as far as birth control goes.
A male birth control pill is being tested, although nothing has been approved.
Guth said every year it seems like they're still working on it and she doesn't know when anything will be approved.
O
"I think it'll come," Guth said.
Until then, condoms will likely stick around as the main form of birth control and disease prevention used by men.

Public lip lock turns off many, excites others
BY ELLIOT KORT
Ruti Patel was almost done with her required RA rounds of Ellsworth hall when she saw them through the window of the first floor conference room: two individuals having sex.
"This couple was just going at it on the table," the Overland Park junior said. "They were just on top of each other."
Patel said that seeing the couple in their moment of intimacy caught her off guard.
"I didn't know people would do that with the window there," she said. "I was just shocked."
The couple's location, Patel said forced her to step in.
"We had to ask them to leave," she said.
What Patel experienced raises questions about public displays of affection that many students have seen across campus. From hand holding to kissing to fullon making out, students have different views of what is acceptable for couples to engage in while in the presence of other people.
For James Scully, Lincolnshire freshman, PDA can be a positive presence in any relationship.
"I'm a firm supporter of PDA," he said. "I think PDA are a beautiful thing, and no one should be ashamed of expressing how they feel to a certain point."
What point is that?
"I would say any kind of penetration is out of bounds." Scully
said. "Anything above the belt, it doesn't matter,
Patel said that she draws the line in a different way.
"I think if you're completely all over each other, it's sort of disgusting," she said. "And there are some things we don't want to know about."
Annie Frizzell, Prairie Village freshman, said she avoided walking into awkward situations because they made her feel uncomfortable.
As for when these situations are inescapable, Frizzell said there was not much she could do.
"Personally, you see it and you just deal with it," she said.
It is at this point, Scully says, people have the choice to find an alternative to bothering people, and if given the chance, he'd try to be accommodating.
"If someone had a problem with it, I'd stop or go somewhere else." he said.
Patel said one of the most important distinctions of note concerning PDA is the difference between those who use PDA as an expression of love, and those who use it as a tool to play a part and to seek attention.
"I think there's a difference between being a couple and having a staged presence," she said.

'Slipped bare' explores the SECRET LIFE OF WOMEN
BY JODI ANN HOLOPIREK
"An erotically charged tale of tragic warning [that] lingers in memory like one of those heart-stopping dreams filled with eerily familiar strangers" — Boston Herald
THE MARAATHE WILLIAMS BESTSELLER
the bride
stripped bare
NIKKI GOBBLE
That quote, the raw and unexpected rush of it, compelled me to read this story of a woman laid bare by her thoughts and dreams: "The Bride Stripped Bare" by Nikki Gemmell, which was first published anonymously, shows the day-to-day thoughts of a newly married housewife in the form of a diary. Gemmell, who has garnered attention in her native Australia, and London, her home, chose to publish "Bride" anonymously because she "... wanted to strip bare the secret life of an everyday woman, and be utterly ruthless about that. I wanted to reveal the complex underbelly of her sexuality, in all its beauty and ugliness." Gemmell believed the only way for her to do that and not worry about family constricting her candid thoughts was to publish anonymously. However, news reporters discovered her name not long after the book was in stores.
In every way, the form of this book adds new meaning to what is being said. Gemmell uses three forms rarely used by writers in "Bride." She wrote it using the second person narrative, she never uses quotes to signify when someone is speaking and she doesn't give the protagonist a name. This makes for a more challenging read at first, but after the reader adapts to Gemmell's style, it has a way of making the reader feel as if she is the protagonist, right in the middle of everything going on.
In an interview with Peter Babiak, which first appeared in "SubTerrain" magazine, Gemmell said, "... I wanted 'The Bride Stripped Bare' to be about every woman and any woman in a sense. I hated the idea of my own name — any individual's name — being attached to it. For it becomes much easier then to dismiss the book as 'just so-and-so's thoughts'. ... Some people have said of my unnamed bride that it was like 'reading her brain, being in her headspace,' which was exactly the effect I was aiming for."
In the book, each chapter opens with a credo for how to be a good housewife, such as "modesty is holy and good" and "the chief causes of the weak health of women are silence, stillness and stays; therefore learn to sing and dance and never wear tight stays." As you read on though, you discover that She, the protagonist, is anything but just a simple housewife.
"Bride" opens with Cole and Her on their honeymoon in Marrakech, Morocco. After four months, they've finally scheduled in the time to take it. While the love is still new and fascinating. She already knows what She likes and dislikes about her husband and has settled for what will never be better between them, like the sex, as shown in the following brief snippets.
"Your relationship works delightfully, easily, in so many ways, except for the sex. ... One thing you could never tell your husband is that his coming takes too long. And that his penis seems bent, and often goes soft in you, as if it's thinking of something else. ... He's never given you an orgasm. He assumes he has."
Almost as fast as the honeymoon begins, it ends. Cole gets caught talking to Her best friend on the phone in a sweet, flirty voice. From there, all hell breaks loose in the marriage.
Throughout the rest of the book, She learns how to hold on to her sanity with a deceptive husband and best friend. She learns how to navigate her marriage's disappointments (Cole being unwilling to have sex during her pregnancy) and triumphs (Her first orgasm with her husband). She learns what She should expect from herself. And She learns how to indulge her fantasies without looking back.
She becomes acquainted with a man at a cafe She frequents and soon they're meeting secretly, enjoying the seductiveness of keeping what they have just

between them. With this man. She breaks free of the prison her husband's affair has put her in, both emotionally and physically.
In the process, She becomes two people, developing a persona for the outside world, and one for the secret fantasies She allows herself to experience. By the end of the book, the reader is applauding Her for what She's been through, but wondering how She can still hold her head up with dignity, especially when looking at her husband.
At times, the reader wants to be the protagonist's best friend; but then he or she will flip the page and want to slap Her silly for what She has done to herself, to her husband, to her lover. This book delves deep into the psyche of a woman and her sexuality, the beauty of it, the ugliness of it, the barren truth of it.
As a woman, "The Bride Stripped Bare" is a must read. You'll find Her mimicking the thoughts you have hidden from the people near you. As a man, you'll be astonished to discover how base, how brazen, how bold women can be when left to their imaginations.

An accepting town
LGBT community receives tolerance asks for more
BY ZACH RAINEY
A national publication for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community has included Lawrence among the top 100 college campuses in the country in terms of its friendliness to members of the LGBT community.
"I believe there is a strong tolerance for queer people on this campus, but that [some students] are afraid to fully accept queer couples as a part of the KU culture," said Jonathan Pryor, Columbus, Ohio, senior and director of KU Queers & Allies. "We are very much a well-known subculture that gets some attention and tolerance, but not always the supporting acceptance that Queens & Allies strives to attain."
"I believe Lawrence is very tolerant of the queer community and we have grown strong because of a lot of support from them," Pryor said. "However, I believe there is a strong force of non-acceptance for the queer community" in Lawrence.
Pryor, who is in a relationship with David Ta, Wichita senior, said they hadn't had to face any challenges as a couple. The only challenge they expect to face in the future is a legal one dealing with gay marriage. They do, however, say they feel a lack of acceptance from their fellow students on campus.
"Homophobia is gay," Pryor said. "Your actions and words can forever scar a trust between two people — just because you made it apparent that if they were queer you would not accept and love them."
Ta had advice for LGBT couples struggling with the fear of
not being accepted.
"You can let people who have not had exposure to any queer life put you down, but at the same time you should not be outright mean to them," Ta said. "In my experience, with confidence and niceness, people will have a hard time being mean, and you can start reconciling some differences or answer some questions they may have regarding sexual orientation."
The lack of acceptance, some students say, comes from not understanding the difference and similarities.
"LGBT people are members of the human race," said Crystal Hong, Rose Hill sophomore. "We have two eyes and 10 toes. We think with our brains, pump blood with our hearts and breathe oxygen with our lungs. What you think, I think. What you say, I say. What you do, I do. And, most of all, what you deserve, I deserve."
Hong's partner, Seantella Cottner of Derby, is a junior at Kansas State University. Her message to all students struggling with their sexuality is to "be who you are and don't allow other people's opinions to affect that, because if the world isn't exposed to homosexuality, it will never get used to it and grow to accept it."
grow to accept "Love is not gender-based. When you are asked, 'Why do you love him/her?' your first response is never, 'Because he's male' or 'Because she's female.' It's something like, 'He makes me laugh' (or) 'She has a great smile', or 'I can't imagine life without him/her,'." Hong said. "Once this basic concept of love is fully grasped, the world will be capable of acceptance and understanding."

Sex toys offer a variety of ways to hit the spot
BY ALISON CUMBOW
Being bombarded with a vibrating sex toy and a lubricant that smells like strawberries can be overwhelming for first timers walking into a store solely dedicated to sex. Naughty but Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., is one of two novelty stores in Lawrence, where you can find hot items for love making sessions.
Robert Osburn, store manager of Naughty but Nice, is the person who helps these first timers as well as more experienced customers discover the products that can aid their sexual needs and stimulate their sexual appetites.

Osburn said young men have evolved in their taste, moving from videos with young women to videos that feature older women.
Vibrators are another curious item. And when shopping for one, always remember to go waterproof.
"I sell the most videos with good-looking mom types," Osburn said. "But the Internet

Experiences with oral sex wide varied for people of each gender
BY ANDREA CHAO
It was Labor Day weekend at a church retreat, and Andrew Meagher was 15 years old.
Meagher, Fresno, Calif., Junior, and other campers were sitting around a campfire when he went to get something from his tent. He and a girl from youth group starting talking, and before he knew it one thing lead to another and they were fooling around. This was Meagher's first experience with oral sex.
"Neither of us really knew what to do," Meagher said. "It was pretty much trial and error for both us. Dude, that was on a church retreat. I'm not very religious, but that's kind of wrong. If I could go back, my first time probably wouldn't be on a church retreat."
Meagher's next sexual experience occurred less than a year later, again in a camp setting. The girl was 18 years old, and Meagher said at the time she thought he was 17, not 15.
"I taught at a Cub Scout camp, and it was family weekend," Meagher said. "I ended up hooking up with one of the campers' older sisters. It was really awkward. It was only the second time I'd done anything like that."
Dan Hoxey was 16 when he had his first oral sex experience, and 17 when he had intercourse for the first time. He puts both under the definition of sex.
"Sex is intimate contact," Hoxey, McKinney, Texas senior, said. "When it gets beyond heavy pet
ting and the clothes come off. Of course intercourse counts, but I think oral sex by nature of its name is also a form of sex."
Hoxey had oral sex for the first time with his girlfriend of about a year. He said it seemed like a logical next step.
"The relationship was progressing more physically and sexually." Hoxey said. "We were both pretty inexperienced so it wasn't the best oral sex I've taken part in, but nothing compares to it. The night felt like a natural progression in the relationship. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience."
Hoxey said that the only thing he would change about his first time having sexual intercourse would be to bring a condom.
"It was wonderful," Hoxey said. "It was completely spontaneous; we lost it to each other, and neither one of us realized what happened till afterwards."
For Meagher on the other hand, it was not the girl's first time.
"She knew what she was doing, but I had no idea. Pretty much it was her telling me what to do," Meagher said.
Allison Craddick had her first encounter with oral sex when she was 18 years old. She said that her and her boyfriend waited a year and a half before trying oral sex.
"I have been dating the same man for two and a half years," Craddick, Leawood freshmen, said. "Taking part in oral sex actually brought us closer together because we became more comfortable around each other. I am still with the same man now."
Craddick said she did not know what to do giving oral sex, so she just went for it, and it turned out fine.
"Honesty I just giggled giving and receiving." Craddick said. "It was a little awkward, but as time went on it was really good in the end."
Meagher agreed.
"It's always awkward your first time," Meagher said, "but there's stories you can look back and laugh about."

Categories provide variety of sexual experience
BY GINA SOUDERS
SEX.
ROMANTIC SEX
We all know what it is, but the word in itself is so vague. It varies with each person, place and pair of underwear (speaking modestly as a Victoria's Secret associate whose own underwear collection exceeds the maximum limit).
Sex is a combination of the physical and the emotional, and can be categorized into four different types: romantic, passionate, playful and what-the-hell-did-I-do-last-night sex.
Most commonly had on special holidays and anniversaries, this is the more traditional form of sex. It is usually performed in the bedroom or in a glamorous hotel. The sex itself is slow and sensual and the position probably won't vary much from the missionary. A lot of cuddling will follow. You cannot have romantic sex with someone you hardly know; love is the key ingredient.
With this strong sense of emotion tied to this type of sex, the five senses are heightened. Foreplay is lengthened as every touch, taste, sight, sound and smell is savored.
Check Live Updates
Envision soft candlelight, a bottle of wine, rose petals strewn about the room, silk sheets and slow music playing in the background.
such as scarves, belts, nipple nibblers, lubricant, vibrators, feathers and whippings are introduced.
PASSIONATE SEX
This is all about living in that moment of lust. It can happen anywhere at any moment. More often than not it is done standing in a public place because there is not enough time to make it to the private bedroom. Deep, physical attraction is what's necessary here. This could have been a first date or a five-year relationship, but the sex is quick and the sex is good. The faster the clothes can be ripped off, the happier both will be. Therefore, it is preferable for the underwear to be easily removable.
PLAYFUL SEX
Naughty or kinky could also describe playful sex, but this isn't really true. This sex takes a step outside your own sexual border. People who have playful sex are close enough with their partner to be open to experimentation and want a dab of spice in the bedroom. An element of surprise is the added ingredient. The sex positions vary. The "Karma Sutra" lies open-faced on the bed with a few other key pages marked. Sex toys
WHAT-THE-HELL-
DID-I-DO-LAST-NIGHT SEX
Followed by alcohol consumption, this kind of sex is seldom remembered. If you have found yourself waking up naked and lying next to someone you don't remember meeting — or worse, are good friend with — there is a huge probability you have dabbled in the ways of what-the-hell-did-1-do-last-night sex. Alcohol, flannel sheets and the "innocent-bystander" (your roommate) are often the key ingredients here. As the memories of last night replay in your mind, regrets begin to form.
This kind of sex precedes the infamous and most embarrassing "walk-of-shame." This involves going home dressed in last night's outlandish outfit with mascara smeared across your face. The goddess from last night has transformed into a nightmare. And don't be surprised if you can't find your underwear. Say your good byes because you'll never see it again.

Promiscuous girl
Upon entering college, we all experience changes. Some of us become more serious about our future, some of us become more serious about partying and some of us become more serious about ourselves. Guys start pursuing girls in a way they never had before, often aided by alcohol or social pressures. Girls find new power in this change in guys — they learn how good it feels to have a guy buy them a shot at the bar, to ask them to dance, or to ask them for their phone numbers.
Getting hit on is empowering; a simple glance or checkout can do marvels for a girl's self-esteem. It'd be dishonest of
When sexual power turns into promiscuity
me if I didn't admit that there have been nights when I've gone to a bar just to get checked-out and feel good about myself. And whether the girl follows through with the guy — or takes the ultra-empowering way out and turns him down — sex has given women an exhilarating power over men that, while refreshing, can unfortunately be more than we can handle.
In a world where men dominate everything: scholastics (why is it always a guy who's got the highest grade in my chemistry class?), jobs (men still out-earn women $0.75 to the dollar), and everywhere else, it's nice to know that we have, at least for that

But what happens when this feel-good power becomes our only way to feel good about ourselves? The rush is easy to get addicted to, and before we know it, the power of lust is controlling us more than we are controlling it.
moment, or that night, some power that is our own.
After living with girls and
hearing stories of using and abusing this power, I began to wonder how many times have we gone a little too far on a power binge? A few nights a weekend eventually add up. How many guys does a girl have to conquer to gain her friends' respect? How many more guys does she have to conquer to lose it? At what point does sexual power turn into sexual promiscuity?
After so many weekends of going out with her, though, I began to find that the guys who were attracted to her before, had begun to lose respect for her. The way that she seemed to use them for her own self-esteem, and her disingenuous treatment of them afterward, had begun to affect people's view of her.
I used to be friends with a girl who was perfect for this question. We would crash fraternities together, or go to bars. She was the type of girl that most guys liked. She would let guys buy her drinks, then disappear with them for a little, and find
me later in the night and wed go home together. She loved the attention, and thrived on it.
Sadly, by the end of he semester, it had begun to affect my view of her too.
So when does power turn into promiscuity? This is a hard question to ask ourselves, and unfortunately, the only person who can answer it is you. As long as
girls stop to think to themselves, to ask if they're flirting with this guy because it feels good, or because they're genuinely interested in him; as long as we are not so addicted to the power rush that it's our only way of feeling good about ourselves; as long as it is us, not the power of lust, that is ruling our lives.
Wearing tight clothes because you know it'll get you a free drink can be empowering, but keep in mind ladies, there are better ways of empowering women.

We'd like to straighten a few things out
Debunking three popular myths about sex and sexual relationships
A long, long time ago, in a cave far, far away, two prehistoric human beings had sex for the first time. The next morning, confused and bewildered by their night, they went their separate ways and started telling bogus stories about how everything worked. Today, these myths are invented and perpetuated at lunch tables, in bedrooms and classrooms throughout the world. The time has come to debunk some of these myths.
BY KARSON THOMPSON
MYTH: DOUBLE BAG IT If one condom is good, two must be better
Truth: This popular myth is also one of the most dangerous. The theory states that with partners you are unsure of or if you are worried about a condom breaking, use two condoms simultaneously. No condom company will recommend this method, as it actually increases the likelihood that both condoms will tear as a result of the added friction.
Navy SEALs use "double-bagged" condoms to waterproof firing mechanisms for underwater detonations, but they also seal them with neoprene cement — this method is also not recommended for home use. One condom is always better than two.
MYTH: SIZE DOESN'T MATTER It is not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean
Truth: Men are constantly bombarded by this misleading sexual statement. According to the myth, women have no feeling in the deepest two-thirds of their vaginas, so a longer penis doesn't translate to increased feeling, in reality, women tell their partners they are "huge" or "big enough" for the same reason their partners say they are in "love."
Clinical psychologist and sexual therapist Joy Davidson is battling this myth of downsizing."The reason size matters is very simply that women do have nerve endings deep inside the vagina"Davidson said. But don't worry,men. While size is important and beneficial,it is not the only criteria you are being judged by in the sack.
Skill is always more likely to convince women to keep taking you back for more. Because we males need sports analogies to make sense of the world, just think of it this way: Reggle Bush could be the fastest running back in the NFL, but it wouldn't matter one bit if he couldn't carry a football.
MYTH: THE BIG SWALLOW To spit or to swallow, that is the question
Truth: There are many myths surrounding the post-orgasm swallow. Some claim that frequent indulgence in the "high-calorie" snack will tip the scales; others have clam this natural protein shake will make it easier for women to get pregnant. "LoveLine" host and sex guru Drew Pinsky often assures his listeners that the average ejaculation, though it does contain protein, sugar, vitamin C and other substances, contains nothing in large enough amounts to significantly change your body's composition.
According to Pinsky, "Assuming your partners have been tested for HIV and other STDs, there is no real harm in swallowing semen." And under no circumstances will ingesting ejaculate ever make you more likely to conceive.
New research argues that swallowing may actually be beneficial as well. Research out of Australia has delivered preliminary results that show a certain compound contained in male semen, TGFbeta, when ingested orally can help limit the occurrence of cancer in the cervix or ovaries, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. However there's another source of TGFbeta: cow's milk.

Sex in review
Medical advances in pregnancy, STD preventing from the past year
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER AND CATHERINE ODSON
Safe sex has changed a lot in the past year, with some forms of protection easier to get. Emergency contraception will become more widely available after being approved for over-the-counter sale, and a vaccine for cervical cancer was approved for women and girls as young as 9 years old. For non-preventable diseases, more University of Kansas students got tested for sexually transmitted infections at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Plan B available
Emergency contraceptive Plan B was approved for over the counter sale for women 18 and older in August.
Plan B is two pills consisting of a concentrated dose of the
found in regular birth control pills. If taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, Plan B is 89 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. It does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
as over the counter sale packaging is ready. It will be sold only in pharmacies or stores staffed by a licensed pharmacist.
Prescription Plan B costs $14 at Watkins Memorial Health Center. In August, Cathy Thrasher, Watkins chief pharmacist, said she didn't know if the price would change for over-the-counter Plan B.
Vaccine approved
The controversial new vaccine for a sexually transmitted infection proven to cause cervical cancer became available at Watkins Memorial Health Center in early August.
The vaccine protects against four strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which are spread through sexual contact more than 99 percent of the time. Two of those strains cause cervical cancer and two
Emergency contraceptive Plan B was approved for over the counter sale to women 18 and older.
It costs $14 at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The drug's manufacturer said over-the-counter Plan B will be available later this year, as soon
others cause most genital warts.
Several conservative religious groups challenged the vaccine as promoting sexual promiscuity and devaluing sex.
Cervical Cancer Coalition, about 3,900 women die of cervical cancer each year.
The Food and Drug
Administration recommends the vaccine for women ages 9 to 26.
The vaccine is a series of three shots, each of which costs $138 at Watkins (a total of $414). Insurance companies are debating whether they'll pay for some or all of it.
According to the National
Testing increased
The number of KU students being tested for sexually transmitted infections has increased dramatically in the past two years.
Since the inception of campaigns such as Ban Ping-Pong and Clean-N-Safe, the number of students tested for gonorrhea at Watkins Memorial Health Center has increased by 90 percent, Bill Smith, Watkins health educator, said last spring. More than 2,300 students were tested for gonorrhea between December 2004 and November 2005.
During the same time, 2,265 people were tested for chlamydia. Less than 1 percent of gonorrhea tests and 5 percent of chlamydia tests were positive. Both infections can be treated with antibiotics.
The Clean-N-Safe campaign will continue through this semester, Smith said.

Turn women's heads with uniforms, confidence
As a female, I admit that when scanning the student body for intriguing boys, appearance is first to catch the eye. So, in a selfish attempt to produce a little more eye-candy around campus, here are a few suggestions on how you boys can use clothing to your advantage.
BY JENNIFER MOHWINKLE
KANSAN CORRESPONDENT
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
First, never underestimate the power of uniforms. Excluding any embarrassing work-related garb such as Dairy Queen polos or any type of visor, uniforms have the ability to spark impure thoughts in the minds of women worldwide. Attractive examples include most team uniforms, military attire and school uniforms. As a graduate of a Catholic school, I developed many crushes that would not have occurred, were uniforms not required.
When going out, shorts work as long as they neither stop above the knee or are constructed of jean material. Jeans are also a wardrobe staple that may seem effortless, but if worn correctly, have the potential to turn heads. A nice pair of fitted, dark jeans with those perfect little whiskers by the pockets will do wonders. Complete the look with a simple button up (don't forget to roll the sleeves
up), and you'll increase your nightly success rate by at least 50 percent.
For staying in, you boys have never looked more adorable and, therefore, more sexy than when you're in your pjs. No silky boxers required. Just pull out those glasses you won't wear in front of anyone else, throw on some comfy pants, and mess up your hair a little bit. And remember to keep those pants down just low enough to showcase the most wondrous of creations: the cut downs.
Above all, boys, make sure to put your own style into whatever you wear because there's nothing more attractive than someone confident enough to stand out.
Lingerie to please every man
C. S. Goulden
Any girls out there looking to get attention from the guys? Chances are you probably get too much as it is. But if you're really looking to turn heads or just want to know what to wear at those certain intimate moments, here's advice based on what most guys would have given had I asked for their advice.
BY DUSTIN DYE
KANSAN CORPORENDENT
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
Preferably girls should go around naked. Some say that's better left to the imagination. But I grew up in front of a TV. I don't have much of an imagination. Unfortunately, public nudity is frowned upon in Kansas. So I guess if you have to wear something, here are some dos and don'ts.
For outerwear, you should dress to match your persona.
Skimpy clothing can be attractive but I wouldn't recommend dressing exclusively in Jessica Simpson's clothing line unless you want strange guys like me to constantly hit on you. And if you do want me to hit on you, you can add me to your Facebook.
And what about underwear, you ask? Thongs are hot if you work at The Out House. Actually, your everyday underwear will be attractive enough,
assuming it isn't literally your everyday underwear. Your run-of-the-mill bra and panties can be exciting to your boytoy because they're personal and intimate to you. But I recommend avoiding those huge knickers that look like a parachute with two big holes like your grandma wears.
As for that fancy, expensive Victoria's Secret lingerie, it's unnecessary. Plus those lacy things with a bunch of straps and buckles are so 1994 and look downright embarrassing. And I would have no idea how to remove them.
If in doubt about what to wear you can always ask your man for his opinion. But he'll probably agree with me.

Online sites increase sexual knowledge provide easy-access for porn
BY ADAM SCHOOF
Go to Google.com and search catapult, Led Zeppelin or red snapper. Undoubtedly, if you look hard enough, you will find sex in some form. Innocent search results like those make it clear that sex has saturated the Internet to a striking extent.
"It was only a matter of time that sex went to the Internet," Tony Campbell, Overland Park freshman, said. "The Internet is unregulated, and sex sells. Plus you're not going to get herpes from the Internet," Campbell said.
Now more than just a way to acquire sexual gratification, the Internet has also come to be seen by many as a legitimate and useful medium for acquiring information about sex.
"The Internet is a pivotal sex-education tool. People can learn and ask questions that may be too embarrassing to ask publicly" second-year graduate student
Chris Redford of Wellington said.
Stephanie Bell, Overland Park freshman, said that the Internet served more purpose to sex than just things like pornography.
"The Internet is useful in dispelling myths about sex, such as virgins can't get pregnant the first time they have sex, pulling out is an acceptable method of birth control and oral sex can't give you an STD." Bell said. "It's also a place where people can find where birth control can be acquired, how it can be kept confidential."
Curious minds looking to do research on sex don't have to go far on campus. KU library computers have no regulations banning pornography, though some exceptions can be made.
"If a student complains about someone nearby viewing sexual or pornographic content, library staff will ask them whether the search is academic-related." Allison Rose Lopez, public relations and marketing manager, said. "If not, the staff will ask them to either cease viewing that content or leave the library"
Research and academic pursuit aside, there is also a darker side to sex on the Internet.
The Internet and its abundance of pornography has an ability to affect personal relationships, said Marta Vicente, assistant professor of women's studies and history.
The expansion of the Internet has changed the way people learn about sexuality and relationships, but also has potential for trouble.
Vicente said that Internet pornography can drive couples apart if they spend more time with pornography than with their sexual partners.

"Pornography can be abused. It can lead to sexual addiction, and the Internet facilitates this addiction," Vicente said. "However, the Internet is not the cause of the addiction, but it may help people who are prone to sexual addiction. The same people 20 to 30 years ago would have done something else to satisfy themselves."
For some, pornography can also be a positive aspect of their love lives, if used properly.
"Pornography either enhances relationships or makes them more insecure. I don't think there's much middle ground." Bell said. "I think that it gives
people an outlet for their sexuality, whether or not it's legal."
So why does sex work so well on the Internet? There has been speculation on how the two have come to pair so well.
"Sexual expression has a history of being repressed in previ
ous Western cultures," Redford said. "I think the sudden boom of interest on the Internet is in response to that."

Fresh perspectives on relationships
Freshman share views on when its time to cut your losses and move on
BY NICK MANGIARACINA
Knowing when to back off becomes a problem sometimes in relationships. Some people throw out definite warning signs, but they can be easily overlooked.
Various freshmen took a look at several issues with the topic of backing off, to get a new, or "fresh," look at the dating scene.
With regard to "knowing when to back off," in pursuing a relationship, Will Pro of Lenexa said
that he treated people as a friend and tried to make it as obvious as possible he was not interested in them. He said he had never known anyone who had specifically ignored these signs.
Coming from a different state and with a different perspective was Lauren Heimbaugh of St. Louis, who said signs like crossing her arms in front, or simply not talking to a guy usually works. However, this has not always been the case.
Heimbaugh remembered a guy who wouldn't leave her alone.
"I had to take different ways to
class, tell him to leave me alone in non-harsh words, and avoid confrontation," she said.
In fact, he went so far that he started hanging out outside her classes. He did eventually move on.
"I felt relieved after it was over," she said. "Girls are more aware of when the right time to back off is because girls play mind games more than guys do."
Jessica Ahrens of Kansas City recalled a stalker-like ex-boyfriend who once after Valentine's Day, after they had broken up, drove to her house in an attempt
to get her back.
"He tried to bring me flowers, so I locked the door to keep him out," she said. "He then drove off, but later called me a few times. I couldn't understand why he didn't understand why we broke up, especially since I gave him plenty of reasons."
Despite this, Ahrens said that guys were more aware of when the right time to give up on a romantic relationship was because most guys aren't as clingy as girls are. Some advice she offered for dealing with relationships was to just be honest with people.
As for Pro, he said he gives up on trying to establish a romantic relationship with a girl when he noticed certain obvious signs like when they start hitting on other guys, or talk about other guys.
Pro also said girls were more
aware of when the right time to back off is.
When not interested, Ahrens said she let people know that she's not interested in them by not returning their calls or not showing up when invited places.
Taking a similar "straight up" approach was Luke Underwood of Overland Park. Underwood stressed the importance of honesty in a relationship.
"I don't think you can really lie about your feelings," he said. "I tell the person that this isn't fun for me."
However, Underwood remembered a time in his life where his philosophy of being honest failed him. Luke remembered a girl he dated a long time ago who persisted after him, even after he broke up with her. Underwood's experience gave new light to
stalkers, dispelling the myth that only guys stalk girls. Tony Campbell of Overland Park had a simillar experience.
Campbell remembered a creepy girl who stalked him in high school.
"She would follow me from class to class, call me all the time, show up before and after school at my house, and eventually at my job," he said.
He said she took the hint that he wasn't interested in her after ignoring her for a long time.
"Guys are more aware of when the right time to back off is," he said. "Guys get a bad rap because guys definitely stalk girls in higher frequency, but when girls stalk girls it far creepier. People need to try to understand when people don't want you around. There are signs. Pay attention."

GIRL 1: "Can my cousin buy you an amaretto sour?"
GIRL 2: "Thanks, but I have a boyfriend."
GIRL 1: "He doesn't have to know that, just humor him."

There are two keys to making a long distance, relationship work; compromise and creativity. You two are going to have to
work harder than you've had to in the past to spend time together. When you can't actually be together in person, have fun and be creative with your communication. Thanks to cell phones, the Internet, and text messaging, you won't have to think to hard on this one. Send
each other sexy text messages throughout the day, set aside a certain time every evening to talk on the phone, or get online and instant message each other. Just keep things fun and exciting and be sure to take time every day to let each other know how special what you have is.

Actually, the best way of handling this is for both of you to take turns going to see each other. This will cut down on conflicts of who has to drive most often.
When you go see each other make it special. Make a date that requires you to bond with him and have conversations since you have very little time together, don't waste your time watching a movie in silence.
she's fun, she's cute, she swalLOWS... and she's so old school
Also, make sure you keep the "flame" alive by having an active sex life, which is a vital part of any relationship. If things get busy and you can't see each other, phone sex is also a great option. Just make sure you communicate well and everything should work out fine.

If you're into music, go to concerts in Lawrence and Kansas City. If you're into church, get involved in a campus ministry group or Bible study.
The point is, get involved with something you're interested in and by doing that you'll meet women that share your interests. Then you'll have something to base your conversations, and maybe eventually, your relationship on.

WHAT IS THE TRICK TO FINDING SOMEONE GENUINELY INTERESTED IN A RELATIONSHIP IN A COLLEGE TOWN?
—KEVIN, JUNIOR
LAURA
GOODENKAUF
Unfortunately,
there is no trick
or secret formula
to magically find
someone worthy of being in a relationship with.
You're going to have to just get out there and meet people. However, think beyond the traditional bar and party scene.
While hopping bars and crazy parties provide a wide array of girls at your fingertips, they're usually better suited to finding a one-night hook-up than someone serious.
MEGAN NELSON
Get involved in a school or community activity. If you're into sports, join a co-ed club or intramural team.
My greatest tip is never go looking for a relationship on a Friday night at the Hawk. If this is what you are doing, then you are probably not going to get someone interested in a long-term relationship.
The best place to meet a guy
Having that special someone will also get your butt out of bed in the morning and excited to attend class.
MS. PACMAN
is definitely in class. Find a study partner, this will guarantee that you will see them on a regular basis and also have someone to call when you have a question.
Most likely if you have a class with someone,you also share common interests.
Unless you start a singles club on campus, it's not going to be very easy to find someone willing to start a serious relationship from day one.
JILLIAN WILLIAMS
Here's my best advice: go to class, Wescoe Beach, the Union, seek out a cute girl and go talk to her. That's all you can do.
Oh Kevin, you know as well as I do that there is no trick to finding a girlfriend.
Whatever you do, don't go to bars or house parties and expect to find someone there who's willing to start a relationship. It ain't happening.

SEX ON THE HILL

Who's your daddy? Talking dirty in the bedroom.Does it get your libido going or stop the fun?
BY FRANCESCA CHAMBERS
"Who's your daddy?"
"You are, you are!"
Are people actually enthused by the act of having sex with their father or do statements like the one above cause them to have a sudden urge to find some masking tape as quickly as possible? Not surprisingly, as many partners who find talking dirty stimulating think it is lewd.
Even the most avid supporters of erotic talk admit that some of the words spoken in times of passion are kind of silly.
"Talking dirty is pretty funny and is nothing to take too seriously," Ashleigh Garcia, Topeka sophomore, said. "It's something you can laugh about later. But it definitely intensifies things. It's pretty hot."
Even though some ridiculousness may be bearable, Thomas Stuttaford warns dirty talkers in the advice column "Sex Matters" on timesonline.com that there is a fine line between arousing your partner and disturbing them. "Many, if not most, people are enthused by some degree of erotic talk, but after talking to many patients about this form of sex play it seems that once talk becomes juvenile, scatological or kinky, most people are turned off," he said.
Colt Davis, Newton freshman, validates Stuttaford's words of caution.
"I've never tried it, but someone tried it on me and it was kind of awkward," Davis said. "It didn't creep me out or anything, but I just sort or ignored it." "If you are really trying to
"Talking dirty is pretty funny and is nothing to take too seriously. It's something you can laugh about later. But it definitely intensifies things. It's pretty hot."
ASHLEIGH GARCIA Topeka sophomore
For Erica Hill, Kansas City junior, there are no doubts. Talking dirty is a mood breaker.
get turned on, foreplay and sex itself are a lot more fun."
"I think talking dirty is a turn off," Hill said. "It's like 'Shut up!' It's kind of distracting."
Is talking dirty just the icing on the cake or is it an important ingredient in cooking a tantalizing treat? Heather Frost, a psychologist at the KU Counseling and Psychological Services, said, "What turns one person on may not necessarily be what turns another person on. There are a lot of individual differences."
Similarly, Suzi Godson, a sex writer and columnist for time-sonline.com, writes, "There is a strong argument to be made for men being forced to take an exam in creative discourse before they're allowed to 'talk dirty' because most male attempts at verbal arousal leave women wanting to stuff a sock in their mouth."
Arist Wright, Houston sophomore, said it all depends on who you are with and what mood you are in.
"If you're making love and she's all smacking your ass, then
it's a problem. But if you're drunk it would be cool. I probably wouldn't even think about it then," he said.
Whether students find talking dirty an unpleasant distraction is debatable. However, experts do tell the public that talking dirty is not abnormal or a cause for extreme concern in most cases.
"It is interesting that among the standard eight paraphilias — the forms of sexual behavior that are considered by doctors to be abnormal, and which are listed in the psychiatrist's manual — 'talking dirty' doesn't receive a mention," Godson said.
If talking dirty is a turn off, then don't be afraid to say so, experts say.
Godson calls the inability to vocalize negative feelings related to talking dirty "old-fashioned female insecurity".
"Women worry that if they express their distaste, they'll come across as 'uptight or prudish; so they bite their lips," she said
While his statement is exclusive to women, it can be equally applied to men.
At the same time, if talking dirty is appealing, partners are encouraged to discuss these feelings with each other and perhaps work out some sort of a compromise. Who knows, deep down there might be a secret fetish involving your daddy ... or not.

STUDENTS SHARE THEIR OPINIONS ON HOW MANY ARE TOO MANY
BY ERIN WILEY
A couple of my guy friends once told me, "Guys in college who have girlfriends are being held back."
In girl lingo, this statement actually means, "During college, guys and girls are supposed to sleep with as many people possible before it's graduation day and time to settle down."
"Something about triple digits seems a bit excessive. First off, that would just be exhausting. And second, there are those things that go around. You wouldn't want to catch one of those colds."
KATIE GARMAN Shawnee senior
JONATHAN
But how many sex partners is too many?
ANDY WHITEHEAD Kansas City, Kan., freshman
Some people came to the University of Kansas as virgins. Some didn't. Some of these people will leave as virgins, or with a small amount of partners that can be counted on one hand. And then there are the others. Let's just say after some people graduate from the University, after they count on their own fingers and toes, they may need help from their partners to keep count.
No matter how many partners people end up having, everyone has an opinion on the matter of how many sex partners are too many.
"If you're talking about sexual partners, going on at the same time — keep it in single digits."

Lawrence beer lovers unite to ferment personal brews
BY BEN SMITH
"If you like a sweeter beer, you can make one," said Dennis Sundermeyer, electronic technician with the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. "If you prefer a certain type of hops, you can tailor your beer to your tastes."
Homebrewing can lead picky beer drinkers to original concoctions they can't find on a menu or in a store.
Sundermeyer has been a home-
brewer for about 14 years and favors German maebock and hellesbock beers. He is a member of the Lawrence Brewers Guild, a group for brewing enthusiasts that helps brewers develop their own beers.
Sundermeyer recently began sharing his hobby with several of his colleagues. Adam Hock, Wess Mason and Justin Rohrer began to learn the fermentation process.
Hock, senior network system administrator, and Mason, network specialist, joined the brewer's guild about four months ago. They have
been brewing about five gallons of beer a week.
Rohrer, doctoral student and graduate research assistant, just started accompanying his friends to meetings.
"It's kind of like cooking and yet a bit like a science experiment," Rohrer said.
Sundermeyer said the chemistry involved in brewing beer was ancient, yet still contained mysteries about the production process.

note.
I spent a semester in Spain during my junior year. My study abroad friends and I would regularly crave things from home like peanut butter, hip hop music and movies. Of the 27 Americans I studied with, we had about 10 DVDs that we would shuffle through and loan out to each other. Of these, I watched Almost Famous repeatedly.

Sugarcult and more
- I still never get tired of the movie. The carefree adventures of rock stars on the road, and the relationships between band mates, groupies and roadies appeal to my sense of adventure and love for travel.Too bad I can't sing.
Rikki Kite's feature about roadies gives a behind-the-scenes look at the people who keep the band wheels turning. Roadies do everything from managing the band to setting up equipment and stretching guitar strings.
Carolyn Tharp, Editor
So maybe the life of a rock star is not for me, but until I perfect my tambourine-playing skills, I'll be reading Kite's article and watching Almost Famous again and again.

BUSTED BOUNCER
After having a few beers with friends while watching a KU basketball game, Matt Sager, Shawnee junior, decided to join his friends at It's Brothers! on Massachusetts Street. Even though the night is still a little blurry to Sager, he recalls running into a guy he had gone to high school with at the bar. The guy held a grudge against Sager and threw him out. Sager couldn't find his friends and had to walk 13 blocks back home. After recapting the night with his friends the next day, he realized that the guy who threw him out did not, in fact, even work at Brother's.

He wasn't legally named "George" until he was 4. It was originally a nickname and a mix-up at the emergency room prompted his parents to change it permanently.

IT SEEMS ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE NO PROBLEM FINDING A GUY WHO ACTUALLY TAKES INTEREST, BUT I NEVER SEEM TO LAND THE PERFECT GUY, OR ANY GUY. THEY ALL TELL ME I'M THE PERFECT GIRL: NOT TOO TALL, NICE AND SLIM, EVERYTHING A GUY COULD WANT. BUT FOR SOME REASON NO ONE SHOWS INTEREST. I WILL ADMIT I CAN SEEM EXTREMELY SHY, BUT I TRY NOT TO BE. IS THERE ANYTHING I COULD DO IN THE HOPES OF HAVING SOMEONE GAIN INTEREST? —BAILEY. SOPHOMORE
BAILEY, SOPHOMORE
Chris: So your friends tell you that you're "the perfect girl," huh? That's funny, that's exactly what how my second stepmom used to describe me — at least when she was sober. Newsflash, hon: your friends are lying. You're not perfect, neither are they and neither were any of my stepmothers. If you want to attract a man, you should set the bar lower. Maybe aim for "kind of cute,"""sorta funny" or, if you're feeling ambitious, "not too annoying."You could always take the easy route and go for "slutty," but honestly, there's enough of that in this town already. And I assume you'd like to maintain at least the veneer
of integrity. Plus, you'd have to compete with your friends, and it sounds like they have a sizable edge in experience on you. And about your goal of landing the "perfect" guy? That's a good one. See, you're being "sorta funny" already.
Niloofar: Yeah, there is. It involves a miniskirt, a pushup bra and a lack of dignity. But you said you "can seem extremely shy," so I'm guessing this isn't an option for you. The truth is, I'm a bit concerned with what sounds like desperation. Just hoping that "someone" will gain interest is not good enough. Men are the pursuers and women are the selectors. That's a powerful position
to be in, so use it. No one to select from? Once again, that might have a lot to do with your shyness. While in your head, you think you're just coming off as a wallflower, to men you might be coming off as disinterested. The men are pursuing, so if you don't give them any green lights, how are they supposed to pass go? They won't. A woman who truly believes she is a prize isn't afraid to flirt. It shows she's comfortable about who she is and that she is interested. So my assignment to you is to be very conscious of the types of signals you're sending out. Work up the courage to crack some jokes, bat your eyelashes and be sexy... sans a pushup bra.

Music-making romances have bad reputations,but they aren't all fated to fail
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/KIMBERLY WESTPHALL
Sonryi and Cher. Ike and Tina. Fleetwood and Mac. Couples who once played together have not stayed together. Although some past musical pairs have broken up, dating a bandmate isn't always a recipe for disaster.
Models Andrew Winetroub, Leavenworth junior, and Michelle Gutierrez, Albuquerque, N.M., sophomore make sweet music to gether.
Kurt Lane and Julie Noyce KU alumni in Lawrence's Ad Astra Per Aspera were married last May. The couple began dating six years ago, before the unpretentious rock band, formed near the end of 2001. Noyce, keyboardist and vocalist, was studying in France and Italy when the band began to take shape, but joined when she returned, says Lane, drummer.
The situation works to their advantage. One person being away for extended periods of time is not an issue for them and is something they take joy in not having to worry about, Lane says. He doesn't know if this concept would work out for anyone because each situation depends on the details. However, Lane advises anyone taking the chance:keep things separate."You can't let the sort of weird things that happen in a band affect your personal relationship," he says.
Jacki Becker, owner of Eleven Productions, a local music promotion company, works with bands on a daily basis. Whether mixing the music and the muse is a good idea or not, nobody knows, but Becker doesn't warn against it.
Mates of State is a prime example, she says. It is a local band with two married members: Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner. Their music met in 1997, wedding bells rang in 2001 and they are now expecting a child. That Hammel and Gardner do a great job maintaining harmony both on and off the stage, Becker says.
Becker recognizes, though the conflicting and classic example of Carly Simon who dated several fellow performers. The singer/songwriter dated on rocky roads, broke up on an even rockier ones and "You're So Vain" ensued. However, if couples in bands break up, the bands don't necessarily diminish, Becker says. Superchunk is a good example,
"YOU CAN'T LET THE SORT OF WEIRD THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN A BAND AFFECT YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP."
— KURT LANE,
AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
she says. "Mac McCaughan and Laura Balance were married and broke up but stayed in the band, and that worked," she says.
Like Superchunk, many bands watch members date and divide but decide to play on. Guillermo Sexo,aBostonandself-proclaimed "dark, Latin, freakout action" band maintained a steady bond band even though band mate Reuben Bettsak, guitarist/vocalist, and Jess Barnett, keyboardist/vocalist, dated for about a year.The couple began dating and, four months into their relationship, readily
The relationship ended about a year ago and although it wasn't the prettiest picture at the time, everything eventually waorked out. "There were disagreements initially about what should happen with the band, but we all ended up being able to move on." Bettsak says.
"I think the main advantage to starting a band when he and I were together was that we both felt comfortable enough with each other to share musical ideas, and we were both very supportive of each other,"Barnett says. "We still are supportive of each other's ideas, even though we're no longer a couple."
Don't let past artists' downfalls after intra-band relationships discourage. Greatness is possible with on-and off-stage chemistry and everything in between.
formed the band.
BEDMATES ON THE BANDWAGON: OTHER BANDS THAT HAVE TRIED OUT THE COUPLE-IN-BAND CONCEPT
Culture Club: Boy George dated his drummer, Jon Moss. They broke up and so did the band but not as a result of the couple's split.
The Fugees: Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean dated. No Fugees. No love.
Blondie: Mega-foxy and tough-as-nails, Debbie Harry dated her guitarist, Chris Stein.
John Lennon and Yoko Ono:
The couple began dating in 1968 and were together until
Lennon's death in 1980.
Sonic Youth:Guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore and bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon have been married since 1984 and are still together, band and all.
Sleater-Kinney: Corin. Tucker and Carlie Brownstein started the band and dated until 1997, but the riot grifl rock band broke up this year.
No Doubt: She kinda always knew shed end up his ex-girlfriend, Gwen Stefani dated the bass player, Tony Kanal. Have you ever heard that song, "Don't Speak?"
The White Stripes: Jack fell in love with the girl, Meg White, and married her in 1996. They divorced in 2000 but continued making music together.
Stereo Total: Françoise Cactus and her man, Brezel Göring, met in a Berlin bakery in the winter of 1992. They are still together.
X: John Doe and Exene Cervenka were married and are now divorced. The L.A. punk band remains.

DON'T DIP YOUR DREADS
party foul
The dreaded dip can occur in one of two ways. The first is if someone lets his dreadlock slip into his own beer. The second, and far worse occurrence, is when the dreadlocked person walks by another bar patron, dipping their greasy hair into the other's open beer.
Michael Cuper, general manager and bartender at Buffalo Wild Wings 1012 Massachusetts St. saw a dread drop last week." This was a guy who let one of them dip into his own beer, but I've seen both happen." Cuper says. "He just pulled out his dread, rung it out and went on with his business."

THE ART BEHIN
by Curissa Pedigo
THE BREW
JACKIE CREMER
A look into how Lawrence brewpubs create their own craft beers.
At the top of a spiral staircase lays a hidden chamber. It is dimly lit with wet cement floors. Giant steel cone-shaped containers encompass the rooms, with
tubes and pipes lining the ceiling and floor. Security is tight. Only a select few work up here, formulating equations to make their creation. No, this is not Frankenstein's lair. And its workers are not mad scientists. They are brewers, formulating crafting, and creating a well-known beverage-beer.
Craft breweries are gaining momentum in the alcoholic
ahead of the competition.
ALES VS. LAGERS
"It's certainly not sitting around and drinking beer all day," says Micah Welichert, head brewer at 75th Street Brewery,
Ales:
Beers are divided into two categories. As there are white and red wines, there are ales and lagers.
Fruity

beverage industry. Creating the brew is tedious and labor-intensive, but the brewers' special attention to history and detail in their designer beers may be what is pushing them
Lagers:

Moderate to low bitter taste

Brewing is a science; and beers are designed using numbers and equations."I do a lot of history and reading to try and recreate a style and then add my personal flair," he says. Weichert apprenticed in a handful of breweries for about four years before becoming an actual brewer He first gained interestbyusing a homebrew kit. He taugh
himself the scientific aspect of his job, and because he doesn't have a degree in brewing science, he isn't technically considered a brew master. "After seven years of being able to produce those
equations and come out with a beer, I think that earns you that title,"he says.
Based on percentages, craft beer is the fastest growing alcoholic beverage in the United States. Sales have increased 11 percent in the first half of 2006, according to a report by the Brewers Association. Last year sales rose 9 percent, and they rose 7 percent in 2004.The growth is on the account of the work of small, independently owned breweries, like Lawrence's local brewpubs, Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., and $ ^{7th}$ Street Brewery.
Free State Brewery was the first legal brewery in Kansas since prohibition. It has four brewers on staff and creates about 2,500 fifteen-barrel batches per year. There are 32 gallons in a barrel, which is about two kegs. Although Free State Brewery could expand its business to become more mainstream, that isn't the goal."We have a passion for the art of making beer. We take so much time, effort and care," says Ray Dalton, Free State Brewery manager.People should come to Free State to enjoy the beer, and that's part of the experience of craft breweries, he says.
Chad Gray, Wichita senior.
drinks beer at a Lawrence brewery about once a week. The Royal Raspberry Wheat at 75th Street Brewery is his favorite, but he also likes to go to breweries and sample every beer on the menu. "I like trying new things," he says,"I've been drinking Miller Lite and those kind of beers since I was in high school."
The biggest difference between craft beers brewed at local breweries and mass-productions like Anheuser-Busch are the ingredients. The ingredients that make up Lite American Lagers — like Miller Lite, Bud Light and Coors Light — consist of barley with a high percentage of rice or corn as adjuncts. Adjuncts are any unmalted grain or ingredient added to the mix other than mated barley."Most domestic beers are not even considered beer," Weichert says. Craft brewers stick to an old German law that a beverage isn't considered beer unless it is made from four basic ingredients: water, malted barley, hops and yeast, he says.
Next time you want to enjoy a brewski after finishing your biology test, ditch the Bud Light and enjoy a home-brewed classic from one of Lawrence's brew pubs.
CRAFT BEER TERMS
Mikrobrewery: A brewery that makes less than 15,000 barrels of beer in one year.
Brewpub: A restaurant-brewery that sells 25 percent or more of its beer in the restaurant or bar. Free State Brewing Company and 75th Street Brewery are brewpubs.
Regional Craft Brewery: A brewery whose flagship brand is an all-mask or specialty beer. These breweries produce more than 50 percent craft beer. For example, Sierra Nevada, New Belgium Brewing Co. and Magic Hat are regional craft breweries.
Craft Brewer: Any brewer who sells mainly craft beers, and whose flagship brand is a craft beer.
Craft Beers: Generally, domestic beers that are made with all malted barley by small brewers. Craft beers have a wide range of colors and alcohol content. They can also have additional ingredients added like fruit, herbs or spices. Flavor is the main goal in the production of craft beers, not necessarily for mass appeal.

Water
INGREDIENTS AND PROCESS
Beer is 90 percent water. Different minerals are added to the water, or it is filtered to a certain degree depending on the style of beer, says Welchert, head brewer at 75th Street, Brewery. Hard water is used to make darker beers, soft water for lights, he says.
Malted barley
Hops
Barley is a basic grain that creates the alcohol content,color, sweetness and flavor of a beer. It is malted before the breweries use it. Maths are shipped in from around the world and can be combined by the brewer to make new flavors. Malt comes in flavors such as chocolate, toasted, earthy or caramel.
Hops are fluffy, green pine cone-like flowers of a perennial vine. Broweries usually use them in pellet form for easier storage, but can also use them fresh. Hops create bitterness, flavor and aroma. The longer they are boiled, the more bitter a beer will taste. Boil them less, and there will be more flavor and aroma.
Yeast
Yeast, which is a fungus, ferments the sugar from the malt in the barley to create the alcohol content. The fermenting tanks at breweries are cone-shaped because after the yeast is done fermenting, it falls out of the beer and collects
at the bottom of the cone to be reused in another batch.
The Brewing Process
1. Malting: This germinates raw grain to produce enzymes, which converts white starch to sugars.
2. Roasting Heat is added to the grain to produce most of the flavor and color.
3.Milling: The "art" phase of brewing. Malts imported into the brewery from other countries such as Germany, Canada, Belgium, or England with other specialty malts to create a specific style of beer.
4.Mashing: The carbohydrates and proteins in the malt are converted to simple sugars by the enzymes in the malt.
5.Boiling: Boiled in kettle for about 90 minutes and hops are added.
7. Fermentation: Yeast converts sugars to alcohol. The more sugar, the higher alcohol content. Different yeast strains are used to create different styles of beer.
6. Whitpool: Spins the protein chains created during boiling and hop particles to the center to clear them out. The mixture is now cooled.
8. The beer is dispensed directly from the brewery's storage tanks to the taps at the bar.

A LIFE OF STRUGGLE, by Frank Tankard Born with an awe-inspiring voice and a stubborn work ethic, Lynda Anders Canaday tries to make it to the top as a blind opera singer. A VOICE OF HOPE
[Image of a woman]
Schelolehzquizx Ross, from the slums of south central Los Angeles, became pregnant in 1953.
And the great gospel singer Mahalia Jackson told Ross that she had received word from the Lord: The child would be a girl and a gospel singer. Ross took the prophesy to heart and asked her friend Jackson to be the child's godmother.
Soon the girl was born, two-and-a-half months premature. As she lay in an incubator, overexposure to light and oxygen destroyed the connection between her retina and her brain, leaving her blind.
Ten years after her birth, the child, Lynda Anders, was spending summers with Jackson learning to become a gospel singer. She was also running away from foster homes and being sexually abused by foster parents. When she would stay at home, her stepfather and brother would abuse her, and Ross would get drunk and tell her "I hate you, you blind black bitch."
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/RYAN MCGEENEY
Thirty years after her birth, Lynda had sung with opera companies in Florida and Australia, with symphonies and in clubs. She had started to rebuild her relationship with her mother six months before she died. Her mother's death had sent Lynda into a deep depression, and she tried to kill herself but recovered.
Twenty years after her birth, Lynda was discovered by Seth Riggs, one of the premiere vocal technique teachers in the nation. And she had found that her colorful soprano voice was best suited not for gospel, but for opera. Before Jackson died in 1972, she had told Lynda, "God called you to be a gospel singer." Lynda had replied, "God called me to be an opera singer."
Forty years after her birth, Lynda's professional singing career was over. Her friend and manager, Randy Sheriff, would regret that one of the greatest opera singers he'd ever heard had not made it to the top. Nobody wanted to take the chance of hiring a blind singer for the opera, he would say. She had married Jim Canaday, whom she
had met at a guide dog training class, and moved to Lawrence to live with him.
Fifty years after her birth, her dreams had grown distant, her life complicated by health issues that had landed her in a wheelchair, and she had sunk into a deep depression after discovering she was incapable of having children because of the abuse she had received as a child.
--in vocal performance and go on to give vocal therapy and lessons to singers recovering from injury. In the 1970s, a vocal chord injury from overwork had forced Lynda to drop out of UCLA, where she was studying opera, and kept her from singing or speaking normally for a year.
A year ago, two students — a boy and a girl — waited for their turn outside Murphy Hall practice room 332. Lynda's voice, powerful, high, loud, commanded the air.
The students looked at each other and smiled. "It's Lynda," the girl said. "She's a freaking rock star," the boy said. The girl nodded. "She's amazing. Then again, she has quite a few years on most of us."
Lynda finished her lesson and walked into the hall, leading her cane in front of her.
Her first semester at the University of Kansas was already trying to defeat her. She had enrolled in 12 hours, the minimum to keep her financial aid, but was quickly finding that it would be nearly impossible to finish all of her classes.
Most of her books hadn't been translated into Braille and she was falling behind. The hope that had brought her back to music and saved her life was being tested.
Just a year-and-a-half earlier, she had lost her will to live. One day, she had simply stopped eating. For five days, she did not eat. She was hospitalized, and her body was nursed back to health. She met with her therapist to work on her mind. What she needed, they decided, was to return to music.
"Performing will always be my first love," Lynda explains. Her voice is sweet and young and carries naturally. "But I'm past the age where opera companies would hire me."
She and her therapist came up with a plan: She would enroll at the University, earn her degree
"Lynda always knew what to do when she had to sing with a cold, when she had to sing under adverse conditions," says Florence Riggs, who, along with her ex-husband, Seth, helped Lynda recover. "I'm sure
she could sing in a bumpy car going over a bumpy road with square tires, and still have that incredible limpid, luscious voice come across clear and clean."
Lynda finished Just five of her 12 credit hours that first semester. She wasn't able to stay up all night practicing like she used to. Plus, she had recently stepped out of her wheelchair and was learning how to walk on a bad back and a new knee. She also started mentoring young girls who were struggling with the aftermath of sexual abuse.
She received an exemption to the 12-hour minimum requirement, made it through the spring and is enrolled in 9.5 hours this semester. She figures she won't graduate with her vocal performance degree until 2012.
"When your dreams don't come true, you have two choices," she says. "You can give up. I did that for a while." Or, she says, there is a line in one of her old favorite songs: "You either give your chords away or you pick up your pipes and play."

Backstage and on tour with roadies by Rikki Kite
Jason Boland and The Straglgers don't go on stage until 10:30 but they've already been at the club for almost two hours. The guitars, microphones, drums, and amps are set up on stage and Greg Brownd, the band's clean cut sound engineer in his early 20s, stands behind the sound board adjusting tracks as the bassist plucks the strings on his bass perforating the sound check. Mowind is the new guy in this group and still has a bit of a diner having joined the tour in June. It's his first job touring with a band and Monty Peliti. Had management for Jason Boland and the Stragless says that the band is still trying to deter know Brownd.
Peliti says he's never been interviewed before. He pushes back a veil of Blonde hair that has fallen out of his pony tail. It's a vinyl seat cushion and offers a beep from the booth in coolers behind the drum.
Seat in the immaculate silver tour bus. Jason Boland leans back in his seat across the ankle lazily plucking his guitar while watching a television above our heads over the bus entrance. Itll Peliti I'll take a bottle of water, he says teasingly. Why? You're off work, aren't you? It's true. Your work day is over and rush, how traffic is just beginning to pick up outside the Grand Emergent in Kansas City. Mr. but for the band members their work they have put into it. Then continue from town to town and stroll together in a tour with six bunks. Three other bins covered with red velvet curtains offer some limited privacy. Do tour thunder, no such thing as a regular work schedule. Pay and benefits vary wildly from Band to band and sometimes even from gig to gig. Being a stripe is no ordinary job; a band always pays well and is patiently and mentally taxing between help and hours of the tour.
When it's bad, it still beats digging ditches, hellaughs. He says hes dug ditches before. A roodie probably won't tell you that its the money that makes this job most appealing. There are easier ways to make money instead of the live music travel or the fact that every day every gig, every vepub is different. The idea that it's all about sex drugs and rock art and roll is a myth. Peliti says, It's rarely drugs, not much sex and we play country, he says laughing.
Peliti wondered about his job security with his chosen lifestyle until about a year and a half ago when Boland entered rehab. He says the work environment has been better for everyone since then. I ask whether he heard that Metallica has been to therapy together. He laughs. Shakes his head and says, "You know what we do for boost the therapy." Weream at each other.
Boland learns again a due table dissects spitting tobacco into the air. He says living Death masks manual decals in his car window. He takes the most positive person in the last 40 seconds.

Treat it like a business. Boland says about roadies. He also recommends that roadies learn to cook with lot of different things with Ramen noodles supporting Peliti's assertion that he's not in this business for the money.
Jamie Germaine is a seasoned roadie in his 40s. He started working for Motorhead after being graduated with a music degree in 1989. Germaine landed that gig by word of mouth. His sister was friends with Phil Campbell, Motorhead's guitarist. Since then, he has also worked with other artists, including Mick tones. Foreigner Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and now Dwight Yoakam, in between touring bills he works for a production company in Los Angeles but recently bought a house in Luciano Otto.
Natasha Wright York ams schedule has kept Germaine busy full time. He only been to his new house twice in the past two months but he'll soon have about a month off the road when Dwight enters the recording studio. For now he's happy with this arrangement. I like traveling. I've been travelling since I was 5 and it's in my blood. It's better if you do it on someone else's dimb' he laughs.
Although Being on the road can be fun Germaine says it was more fun 20 years ago. It's not all fun and games it's a lot of hard work. It's like working for the circus or something.
A scratty unshaven gray haired came once told me Sometimes I wish I could run away and join a town. Germaine suddenly reminds me of that carbine as he talks about jopping to have his new home which he rarely sees paid off within 10 years.

Although Crew admits that he has a great job,he says that at the end of a long,hard day, he can still end up standing on a runway in the pouring rain, trying to load equipment with the help of locals who don't speak English.
Bob Cutler's first tour in Europe as a roadie for Canadian punk band D.O.A. got off to a rough start due to a combination of inexperience and the language barrier. "Take some Kansas hillbilly who barely speaks American (much less Canadian) and just throw him in the deep end in a different country, on a different continent, and problems are guaranteed," he says.
importing thing is that roadies. "Get to the fucking gig on time."
Chip Walker, former Lawrence resident, gets to the gig on time, but not always on the bus. Walker worked as a carpenter on tour with Metallica this summer
Cutlerplayed in local Lawrence punk bands in the '80s, including The Klusterfux and Slackjaw.
Since then, he's toured with bands such as SNFU, Patti Smith, Vice Squad, The Vibrators and UK Subs, but more recently he has started a non-profit organization in Topeka, with the goal of opening an all-ages coffeehouse and live music venue. He also says that if the phone rang with the right touring offer before his coffeehouse was established, he'd take it.

"Lars even gave me shirt for going out with Bon Jovi. Kirk asked me if I missed them [Metallica]. And James asked me what it was like," he says.
Walker started off as a roadie
Walker said in the late '80s by helping local bands, like Kansas City's Sin City Disciples, haul equipment in exchange for free beer. His first official tour was as road manager for Shana Morrison, Van Morrison's daughter. A friend was her booking agent, which is how Walker got the job. His favorite thing about this career so far has been meeting his wife when he worked with Metallica in Belgrade, he says, but the lifestyle can be exhausting. "People think it's a party, but it' s not. It's probably one

Massachusetts St. "Especially in Lawrence — you can't really spit without hitting someone who's a musician," he says.
Although he's only been home in his Lawrence apartment nine days since March, when he's not on tour with The Flaming Lips, Kilip spends his down time the same way many students do
— hanging out at The Replay Lounge, 946 Mass., The Love Garden, 936 1/2 Mass. and The Tap Room, 801 New Hampshire St. He also plays in the local band Rohypnoi Rangers.
Although Spurlock started working for The Flaming Lips as their roadie in 1996, he'd planned to be a musician. He played in local Lawrence bands, including Slackjaw with Bob Cutler, before being hired by Wayne Coyne, singer and guitarist for The Flaming Lips, a couple of months after helping them unload equipment at a South by Southwest music festival performance in Austin, Texas.
Spurlock sounds like he's still a little shocked that he's touring the world with The Flaming Lips, and he's enthusiastic about the experience. The Flaming Lips are currently touring with Sonic Youth.
"I never would have imagined in a million years I'd meet them," he says. Spurlock says that one of the perks of touring with The Flaming Lips is meeting other musicians and getting free music. In fact, after he saw one of Sonic Youth's set lists he told them that he loves the song "Catholic Block." Sonic Youth dedicated the song to him when they played it that night. In many ways, an experience like that beats a 401K and dental plan any day.
"None of us are rich by any stretch of the imagination," Spurlock says. He won't offer figures but says, "I'm not rich,
RALPH THE ROADIE
Ralph the Roadie has rapidly been adding band names to his resume. Ralph is 'a character played by Chris Bonno, an actor and comedian in Los Angeles. You can see several short, comical films created and directed by Peter Byck and starring Ralph at rapltheroadie.com. In each episode, Ralph works as a bumbling, disheveled, incompetent roadie for bands like Dishwalla and Bowling for Soup. But, as the first film says, "Ralph does not want to be a roadie. He wants to be a rock star."
So far, the episodes are only available on the Internet and on MVSpy (direct TV), which is unfortunate for television viewing audiences who are swimming in an ocean of game shows and reality programs that don't
Ralph wonders out loud where the chicks are, helps himself to merchandise and offers to fill in for musicians, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Bon Scott from AC/DC and work his way from roadie up to lead singer of the band — any band. Along the way,musicians like Chris Burney from Bowling for Soup give Ralph advice. "Chicks dig this," says Burney while he paints Ralph's fingernails black. Ralph asks when Burney bought his first bottle of fingernail polish and later asks about his piercings. He's learning something, but his roadie skills don't improve.

seem real at all. While Ralph the Roadie creates comedy by perpetuating and poking fun at the stereotypes of roadies as musicians — waiting to be discovered, on the road for the sex, drugs and rock and roll — it also shows real bands (and their rivalries), live music, the behind-scenes drudgery of loading and unloading equipment, odd jobs a roadie must do and the real-life characters met along the way. Television viewers might appreciate this original, thoughtful, yet spontaneous behind the scenes, comedic look at the life of roadies and musicians.
people, sorry." And to further shatter any myths about life on tour he adds, "A lot of people think we're getting laid all the time and that just doesn't happen." The other members of The Flaming Lips are married, and Kliph admits, that he's in his 30s now so things may have been different for him if he were 10 years younger.
Star Chris Bonno agrees He says that musicians and roadies love it, too. New episodes are in production and Bonno is still hopeful that this series will see the light of primetime networks, or possibly the big screen. But at the end of the episodes. Ralph inevitably gets fired. He's entertaining, but the bands all agree that he's ultimately just a bad roadie.
Spurlock says that a lot of the band's time and financial resources are dumped back into their stage shows, costumes, and video projects. "The more we're around other bands and I see how other bands work, I realize
how different and unique life with the Lips really is."
WHAT IS A ROADIE?
Life as a roadie, regardless of the band or job title, is a different and unique way to make a living. It provides something new each day, in a different city or country, with strangers and friends, live music and the musicians you always wanted to meet. And you get to see the world on someone else's dime. If it sounds like the right job for you, you can try buying Spurlock a drink or offer to give him a hand loading in his drum set down at The Replay. That's one way to start.
"Roadie"is NOT...
- a person who uses a road bike to cycle on the road (although cyclists have taken to calling themselves roadies lately).
- an alcoholic beverage taken with you in your car.
- a highway department worker who repairs roads.
*a person working with a carnival (that would be a "carnie").*
- a young girl who wants to "party" with the band (that would be a "groupe").

musical groups. These services can include sound reinforcement (what you hear), lighting and staged design(whatyousee),band equipment(what the artists play), rigging (those wires everything hangs from at concerts), video technicians, pyrrotechnics and lasers (fireworks and really bright lights), management (someone
has to count the money and hand out the backstage passes), security (can you spot a stalker?), transportation (a.k.a. truck drivers and bus drivers), and on larger shows, they can also be production, staging, spot operators, costume, make-up, catering, a piano tuner and even licensed day care.
Crews range from a one man "bar band" roadie who does everything except play an instrument (well, sometimes they do that too) to the mega shows with dozens of tractor trailers full of equipment and over 100 roadies and stage crew.
Depending on the job performed, the skill level and
experience, a roadie can make anywhere from minimum wage up to six figures. Generally it's a thankless job with long hard hours of grueling physical work, lightly mixed with some of the most rewarding moments a human being can ever experience.

After circling the same streets three times waiting for someone to leave, you finally find it. The perfect spot. And it's even in the shade. So you pull forward, back in and perform an Austin Powers-like maneuver to somehow fit your car into a space that seems far too short. You come
dangerously close to hitting the BMW behind you, but opt for running over the curb instead. Then you realize your car is jutting into the street. So you try straightening out but that doesn't help. Finally you give up, resigning that perhaps a little more parallel parking practice is in order before you can hit the streets of Lawrence and stake out the perfect parking spot.
It's not only important that

Now that she's had plenty of practice, Tice prefers a stick and says it's more fun to drive because it's engaging.

"You'll get it eventually," she says.
Jonathan Freeman, Tonganoxie sophomore, took three months to learn how to perfect driving a stick. He's been using one for five years, but when he first learned, he had trouble with squealing tires at stoplights and stop signs. Freeman says he prefers driving a stick instead of an automatic because it's more reliable, has better gas mileage and is
more fun to drive.
"The hardest part is trying to get two feet to use three peddles,"he says.
Learning the proper technique in the beginning is important because habits develop through repetition, says Bill Kennedy, owner of the Topeka Driving School, 3641 S.W. Plass Ave. #6C4. He suggests practicing in flat, empty lots first and to leave between five and six feet in front of and behind your car about the average height of a 16-year-old.
You'll end up shoving tons of money in meters or circling parking lots waiting for a spot if you can't successfully wedge your car between two others.

If you can't bribe a friend to
teach you the basics of driving, enrolling in a driving school is an option. If you don't mind the 15- and 16-year-olds learning the rules of the road right along with you, having an instructor can provide individualized training. Midwest Driving School, 1152 E. 1300 Road, offers lessons.
Take care of your car
It's not going to matter if you know how to parallel park or drive a stick shift if you don't have a car to drive. Because cars are often the most expensive assets students own, they need to take care of them accordingly, Michael Right, vice president of public affairs for AAA, says. If you want your vehicle to provide reliable transportation at a reasonable cost, it needs to be cared for, he says.
Taking care of your car doesn't have to be overwhelming, as long as you don't neglect maintenance, says Danny Fox, owner of Lawrence Automotive Diagnostics, 2858 Four Wheel Drive. Keeping up with maintenance will minimize the
To keep your car in the best possible shape during college, Fox recommends finding one car shop and staying there while you're in Lawrence. Keeping a continuous history while you're at school makes it easier to notice irregularities.
repairs your car will need later on. Car maintenance becomes expensive when you neglect routine procedures, Fox says.
The top two common problems Fox sees with students' cars are running low on gas and not having enough air in the tires. If you run your car low on gas, you'll damage the fuel pump, which is crucial to keeping the car cool.The amount of air in tires is something Fox says students fail to check before going on a road trip or trekking home. When there's not enough air in the tires, they overheat and blow out, Fox says. He recommends checking the liquids and the air pressure before a long drive.
if you're handy yourself or just want to save money, you can buy a maintenance manual
for nearly any modern car and do repairs yourself, says Dan Ramsey, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Car Care and Repair Illustrated. Doing so can save up to $75 an hour in labor costs alone. You may not be able to do all the maintenance, but you can at least do some of it and you'll be able to understand what your mechanic is doing. Ramsey says.
Regardless of whether you take care of your car yourself or seek professional help, Ramsey suggests keeping an eye on basic car functions. While you're filling up with gas, take a few minutes to check out each tire, open the hood and check the oil and inspect other parts that wear easily such as wind as windshield wipers.
Whether you enlist friends, family or internet tutorials to help you become a more competent driver, be patient, be careful and in no time you'll be able to pull into a tight parking spot, keep a five-speed from stalling and prevent unexpected trips to the mechanic.

The Oolahs Best Stop Pop
THE BEETLEJARS
In 2003, Greg Ekland made the wise career move of leaving Everclear. After giving up drums and taking up the guitar, he joined up with his brother Mark and talented singer/guitarist Olivia Stone, and the Oohlas were born.
Combining power pop with dreamy landscapes, the Oohlas have a nice sound, but they're missing one important ingredient — variety. Lack of variety sinks a lot of bands. It's currently suffocating thousands of pop rock bands, and it managed to get a hold of the Oohlas as well.
Despite this, Best Stop Pop does have some good songs including the mysterious "Tripped," the catchy "Cahuenga Shuffle," and the driving "Small Parts." Olivia Stone's vocals bring to mind the beautiful vocals of Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis. But when Greg
Ekland sings, the album suffers. Luckily, that's only a couple of songs.
So, Best Stop Pop has several good songs, but when you've heard about two of them, you've essentially heard all that The Oohlas have to offer.

The Covenant
MOVIE
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined Carrie with Laguna Beach, The Crucible and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation? Neither have I, but throw in some bad acting with a soundtrack lifted from eight other movies and you've got The Covenant.
The movie is about the descendants of five families that founded the Ipswich Colony, which was the epicenter of the Salem witch trials. As gruesome and interesting as witch-hunting is, that one sentence summary of the plot is twice as interesting as anything that actually happens in The Covenant.
It is impossible to tell who the movie is for and what kind of movie it is trying to be. It's about kids in a New England prep school who kill people with special powers, so maybe it's a horror movie. But there are a ton of action sequences, so maybe it's an action-horror movie. But it's rated PG-13 with a gratuitous locker room scene (for the ladies). So who knows? The only people who should be buying tickets to The Covenant are eight graders who need a dark place to make out on their first date.

SPEAK
I AM EMMA'S SISTER
(Artist: Unknown)
Accepting my little sister taught me how to accept the world. by Ruchel Parker
SCOTT KASERMAN
I hesitantly lay on the crowded bed for a family talk, facing both Mom and Dad. My mother looked away as my father spoke. I knew that she had been distant the last few days. I figured she was ill or had morning sickness. My father told us my new little sister wasn't going to be just another sibling. She was a special addition to our family because we were all going to help raise a child with Down Syndrome.
We had had a family talk just a few weeks earlier. My father had announced that another child would join our family in September. I tried not to show my disappointment, but there were already five of us, and I was 14 and not too keen on having to share more of anything.
I didn't know what to tell my friends. Adolescents can be so ignorant when it comes to people with disabilities unless they have been exposed to the disabled. I was never rude to people with mental retardation, but I certainly didn't give them the time of day.
It took some time to get used to a baby in the house again, but I began to notice that my little sister wasn't much different from any other baby. Approximately one in every 800 babies is born with Down Syndrome, according to the National Association for Down Syndrome, and these children can grow up to live relatively normal lives. They can be educated, work, get married and live on their own. I found that Emma would
I wasn't the greatest older sister when Emma entered my life. Some of my friends weren't even aware that my mom had been pregnant or that I had a new baby sister with a hoie in her heart and tubes in her ears. I kept her my little secret. I used to walk into her room and watch her as she slept, wondering what type of person she'd be, how she'd change my life.
Months went by, and I found myself studying more, cheerleading at all the basketball games, attending cheerleading and gymnastics practices, competing in gymnastics meets and staying after school for clubs whatever I could get my hands on. I stayed in denial. It was all just a bad dream.
One day, my mother yelled at me for saying something was retarded. She told me never to use that phrase. I began to notice it in the everyday speech of others, and I realized how degrading and disrespectful it was. I was now responsible for standing up for my little sister, whom I was going to love and support. About 350,000 families
have moderate impairments in her development, and she'd be more likely to have health problems than other babies would. Other than that she would be a normal person.
My growing knowledge about Emma's condition helped me become closer to her, but I still hadn't completely accepted her disability.
To my surprise,my friends didn't care that Emma had Down Syndrome.Because I was so insecure about her disability,I was blind to see that my friends might not be.They loved Emma. Whenever they came over we would ask her questions and giggle over her funny and adorable answers.Would flip her and watch in awe as her limber body jumped into the splits.
By the time I graduated high school, I couldn't imagine a life without Emma. The transition to college was easier than I

expected because of my learned openness to different kinds of people.
Emma changed the way I look at everything. She forced me to grow up faster. I view people in a different light, but most of all I'm less judgmental. I've found that the best things about people are the things that make them different from everyone else — most of the time their flaws. Emma's flaw is only one extra chromosome in her DNA.
Because of Emma, I get to experience life from a different angle. It's hard to realize what an effect she has made on me until I analyze how I felt the moment I heard she was entering the world and how I feel when I'm
with her now.She is innocent, and she has let me into her life without a second thought.
Emma is turning 7 this month, and I love every inch of her from her slanted eyes to her love for listening and singing to music, even though every note she belts reveals she is obviously tone deaf. Emma may tug at people in the grocery store and speak in incomplete sentences, but I don't care; she is a healthy child.
Emma is just like any other kid. She wants attention and love. There is no judgment in her heart. She is just happy to be here, and her love is unconditional. That is what everyone needs to see.

Rising tuition, living costs compel students to spend more time at work
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Each month is a struggle to make ends meet for Ramsi Lindgren.
After classes, Lindgren, Topeka junior, has to go to work. At two places.
Lindgren estimated she works 35 hours a week at both Stone Creek restaurant and the Office of
Admissions and Scholarships.
"I don't have a normal student life," Lindgren said. "To keep up with school and rent and utilities, I have to work that hard."
With tuition costs rising and inflation putting a larger burden on students, some are forced to hold down full-time jobs to make basic payments.
The Council for Community and Economic Research, an organization that works to promote excellence in community and economic research, reported in 2005 that the cost of living in Lawrence ranked above Manhattan, Topeka, Columbia, Mo., and other cities of comparable size.
Rent in Manhattan averages $58 a month less than in Lawrence,
according to the council's Cost of Living comparison calculator. Apartment rent in Columbia, Mo., averages $190 a month less than in Lawrence.
Lindgren said several of her friends are able to look to their parents for support. She doesn't have that luxury, so she relies on her work ethic and whatever aid the school
can send her way.
Eric Grospitch, executive assistant to the director of student housing, said on-campus housing is usually the cheapest option for students coming into Lawrence.
Undergraduates pay an average of $5,800 for on-campus living. Graduate students must pay $8,400 for on-campus living, according to
the University's financial aid Web site. Neither of these figures include general living expenses.
Grospitch said scholarship halls are another way of avoiding off-campus living expenses. Depending on where a student lives, the scholarship halls can cost anywhere from $1,700 to $4,200 for one school year.

OVERWEIGHT BACKPACKS HARM STUDENTS
HEALTH
Overweight backpacks can cause long-term back problems such as fallen arches in the feet, posture problems and an unlevel pelvis. According to the American Chiropractic Association, a backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of a person's body weight. Signs of carrying too much weight include pain in the knees, lower back, shoulders and hips as well as headaches.
Chiropractors say back, feet and pelvic problems caused by heavy bags
Anna Faltermeler/KANSAN
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Cynthia Fecchia carried a laptop, textbooks and notebooks in her backpack Wednesday afternoon.
The Topeka junior's bag weighed 19 pounds, too much according to the American Chiropractic Association. Overweight backpacks can cause major long-term back problems.
Victoria Houghton, ACA representative, said a backpack should weigh no more than 10 percent of a person's body weight. For Fecchia, who weighs 125 pounds, this is 12.5 pounds, 6.5 less than she carried Wednesday.
Jerriann McNee, chiropractor at Schroeder Chiropractic, 4621 W. Sixth St., said she saw students daily who suffered from back problems caused by heavy backpacks.
Fecchia said she got tightness in her shoulders and pain in her neck, lower back and knees. McNee said these are some of the main symptoms of carrying too much weight around. McNee also said headaches and hip pains were possible.
Long-term problems include fallen arches in the feet, posture problems, an unlevel pelvis and rounded shoulders, or what McNee called the "humpback look."
McNee recommends a double-strap backpack with both straps worn over the shoulders. She said rolling backpacks were good if you occasionally switch off which arm is pulling the backpack.
She recommends keeping weight evenly dispersed between the shoulders to keep the bones aligned, wearing shoes with insole to reduce knee pains, and taking 1500 milligrams of glucosamine each day, a supplement that lubricates the cartilage between the joints.
Switching out books during the day helps to alleviate stress on the
body, McNee said.
Fecchia said sometimes she went home to the Jayhawker Towers to unload books that she was done with for the day so she wouldn't carry around so much.
"It does get to be kind of a hassle because walking up that hill is no fun," Fecchia said. "I don't do it more than I have to."
Fecchia goes to a chiropractor when she can afford it. Her chiropractor recommended exercises to
Jesse Hall, 165-pound Caney senior, carried a backpack weighing 20.5 pounds. Ten percent of Hall's weight is 16.5 pounds. He doesn't think his backpack is heavy compared to the 65 to 70 pound rucksack he carried in the army. Hall is a member of the Army ROTC on-campus.

While in the army, Hall did research about rucksack weight and carrying techniques for a marathon march through the New Mexico desert. He learned several techniques for carrying bags on the back.
Hall recommends a backpack with wide straps and a waist belt. He said the waist belt takes weight
off the shoulders and keeps blood circulating through the arms. He's never considered getting a rolling backpack.
"They're too cumbersome," he said. "Sometimes they get up on one wheel and start wobbling around."
Hall also said if you chose to carry the rolling backpack on your back, the metal bar could dig into your back.

ORGANIZATIONS HALO celebrates Hispanic heritage
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
The Hispanic American Leadership Organization will celebrate its 35th anniversary this month in conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month, which stretches from Sept. 15 to Oct. 13.
Through the past three decades the organization has changed names a few times, but the message has remained much the same: to meet the diverse needs of the Hispanic population at the University.
The idea for the current HALO was started as the Association of Mexican American Students in 1971 to reach out to the Hispanic-American population at the University. Three years later, the group changed its name to Movimiento Estudiatil Chicano de Atzlan. It became HALO in 1986.
"We became HALO in the 80s to encompass all Latin American cultures" said Chris Munoz, HALO president and Topeka junior. "We are a support group for Latinos on campus, a home away from home."
The University's HALO is the oldest HALO in the state of Kansas and Munoz estimates that it is also one of the largest. HALOs from throughout Kansas will gather on Sept. 22 and 23 for the HALO 35th anniversary banquet and the regional meeting at the University campus.
Juan Izaguirre, HALO adviser, said the regional meeting was started two years ago to serve as a link between all the organizations throughout Kansas.
"One of our main goals and mission is to disseminate Latin culture through events and create a family atmosphere," Izaguirre said.

Lawrence beer lovers unite to ferment personal brews
Homebrewing can lead picky beer drinkers to original concoctions they can't find on a menu or in a store.
"If you like a sweeter beer, you can make one," said Dennis Sundermeyer, electronic technician with the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets. "If you prefer a certain type of hops, you can tailor your beer to your tastes."
Sundermeyer has been a home
brewer for about 14 years and favors German maebock and hellsock beers. He is a member of the Lawrence Brewers Guild, a group for brewing enthusiasts that helps brewers develop their own beers.
Sundermeyer recently began sharing his hobby with several of his colleagues. Adam Hock, Wess Mason and Justin Rohrer began to learn the fermentation process.
Hock, senior network system administrator, and Mason, network specialist, joined the brewer's guild about four months ago. They have

Catholics asked to pray for Sebelius
STATE
Roman Catholics in northeast Kansas have been asked to pray for Gov. Kathleen Sebellus to "reconsider her long held position supporting legalized abortion."
The request came from Archbishop Joseph Naumann, of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, in a Sept. 8 column in the diocesan newspaper The Leaven, with a circulation of 52,900.
"It is never permissible for a Catholic to support the legalization of the killing of innocent lives by abortion, much less lead the fight for legal abortion," Naumann wrote.
While questioning Sebelius'
record on abortion, he stopped short of asking Catholics to vote against her.
Sebelius, who is Catholic, is a longtime supporter of abortion rights but has said publicly she believes abortion is wrong. Church leaders have raised the matter in the past, but not all of the Democratic governor's fellow Catholics are equally troubled.
Dan Watkins, who attends St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lawrence, said Catholics must practice a faithful citizenship, which includes more than just respect for life.
"The fact that a public official upholds what is the law of the land,
even if their faith and personal belief tells them that that's wrong, that shouldn't disquallify them in the eyes of other Catholics," said Watkins, a lawyer and active Democrat.
Naumann said he wrote the column in response to several letters he received from people who disagreed with the governor's veto this year of a bill expanding the information that abortion providers must submit to the state about pregnancies they have terminated.
Watkins said he had not read Naumann's column but said that upholding the law differs from Sebellius advocating for abortion.
In her veto message, Sebelius
said she didn't believe the provisions would reduce abortions.
"My Catholic faith teaches me that life is sacred. Personally, I believe abortion is wrong," she wrote
As for Naumann's column, Sebellus' spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said, "The governor appreciates her ongoing counsel with the archbishop, and we believe this is a matter best left to the privacy of their discussions."
Naumann issued a joint statement Aug. 15 with the bishops of the Dodge City, Salina and Wichita dioceses advising the state's more than 405,000 Catholics they have a "serious moral obligation to exercise their right to vote."

odd news
At 14 pounds, newborn built like a linebacker'
NORWICH, Conn. — Oh baby! Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books.
Michels gave birth to a 14-
pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at
William W. Backus Hospital.
Backus officials said the newborn — Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean — broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.
"He's built like a linebacker," said David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.
After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was happier about having finished giving birth than about all the attention her baby was receiving.
"I was miserable" Michel said. "I couldn't sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed."
The baby's size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel's oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 81/2 and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.
Michel's husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.
Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for
newborn diapers.
"I have baby clothes but I don't think they will be able to fit," Michel said. "I think I will have to return them."
Father breaks leg after confidence-building jump
Troy Stewart and his 10-year-old daughter Meagan were on their daily bike ride Monday evening when Stewart suggested they jump off a 15-foot bridge as a way of curing the girl's fear of heights.
LANTANA, Fla. — A father broke his leg trying to cure his daughter's fear of heights.
"At first he said, 'Do you want to do it or not?' Meagan said. "I thought, 'It's kind of high'; and then he's like, 'Trust me.'"
Meagan jumped safely into the intracoastal Waterway, but her 31-year-old father broke his leg.
Stewart got out of the water and waited nearby after Meagan rode her bike the half mile home and alerted her mother, who called authorities.
"In his mind, he was playing," said Mandy Potter, 32, of her partner of 10 years. "But I don't condone his child's play."
Stewart was not charged with a crime, but officials from the state Department of Children & Families planned to interview him.
"This is an example of what not to do as a parent," police Capt. Andy Rundle said.

Official retaliates after losing parking spot
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. —A police video apparently caught the city's ombudsman scratching the rear of a city councilman's car with a key after the councilman took his parking space.
Police had a camera on Councilman Bob King's Nissan Murano because his car had been keyed previously. They released the tape Tuesday in response to Freedom of Information Act requests.
The tape shows King's car parked in city ambudsman James Bell's parking spot, marked "Ombudsman". Bell can be seen parked beside the empty car and then walking behind it, apparently dragging a key across it.
The tape, made last week,
shows no marks on the back
of the car before Bell arrives,
but shows the scratch after Bell
walks by.
The tape also shows scratches on the passenger side of the car that King said were put there about five weeks ago when he parked in Bell's spot while Bell was off duty.
Bell has been charged with a misdemeanor count of malicious injury to personal property.
Bell said he did not know whose car was parked in his space but thinks King has a grudge against him because he supported King's opponent in a previous election.
Bell's attorney, Bill Runyon, said Bell was steading himself because he recently underwent surgery on his knee and that's how the scratches happened.
King said the key scratches caused about $1,000 damage to his car.

OBITUARY
Student dies Sept.12; cause not released 21-year-old psychology major remembered as courteous, witty
BY MARK VIERTHALER
A memorial service for Ross Reagan will be at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at D.W. Newcomer's Sons Johnson County Chapel, 11200 Metcalf Ave., Overland Park.
Reagan, Spring Hill junior, died Sept. 12 at his home in Lawrence. The cause of death has not been released.
Reagan was born Aug. 4, 1985, in Wichita. He was a psychology major and worked at the Overland Park branch of Foulston and Siefkin law firm as an IT technician. He was 21.
Jim Oliver, partner at Foulston and Siefkin, said Reagan was a gifted employee who had been working for the law firm since he was in high school.
"The staff frequently commented on how polite and courteous he was," Oliver said. "We thought the world of him. He had a lot of wit. He was always coming up with
something clever."
Oliver said Reagan enjoyed snow skiing, as his family had lived for a short time in Colorado.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway expressed his sorrow at the loss of Reagan in an official statement Wednesday.
"My deepest condolences go out to the family, friends and loved ones of Ross Reagan," Hemenway said. "The entire KU family is saddened at the loss of this bright young man."
He is survived by his parents Doug and Michelle, his brother and sister-in-law Brendan and Krystle Reagan, maternal grandmother Virginia Black and his paternal grandfather Charles Reagan.

Venezuela pledges support for Iran in case of invasion
BY VANESSA ARRINGTON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HAVANA — Venezuela's president pledged Thursday his country would support Iran if it was invaded as a result of its nuclear standoff with the United Nations Security Council.
The U.N. has demanded Iran suspend uranium enrichment amid concerns by some nations that it could be used for nuclear weapons. Iran insists the enrichment is aimed solely at producing electricity.
"Iran is under threat; there are plans to invade Iran, hopefully it won't happen, but we are with you." Hugo Chavez told Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a meeting of the Group of 15 developing nations on the sidelines of a Nonaligned Movement summit in Cuba.
Chavez said Venezuela stands with Iran in this time of crisis, just as it stood by Cuba, where Fidel Castro handed over power to his brother Raul while recovering from intestinal surgery. If they don't defend each other, no one else will, Chavez said.
"Under any scenario, we are with you just like we are with Cuba," Chavez said. "If the United States invades Cuba, blood will run... We will not have our arms crossed while bombs are falling in Havana or they carry Raul off in a plane."
Ahmadinejad gave a relatively mild speech, urging his fellow leaders to work together to help the G-15 nations achieve their full potential. Then Chavez took over, saying he didn't want to leave Havana without a statement reflecting resounding
support for the Iranian, Cuban and Palestinian people.
It was not clear what Chavez could actually do to help Iran. He has vowed in the past to cut off Venezuela supplies of oil to the U.S. in case of an invasion of Cuba.
The meeting was a milestone for Cuba — the first time Raul Castro represented his nation at an international summit as acting president. But Chavez stole the show — saying Fidel Castro had given him permission to speak longer because Raul wouldn't talk much. Raul Castro seemed to take the jab in good spirits, giving Chavez a bear hug after the meeting.
After visiting Fidel Castro on Thursday, Chavez said he was walking and singing and was "almost well enough to play baseball."
Trading the green fatigues usually wears as Cuba's defense minister for a dark suit, Raul Castro briefly praised Iran and other developing nations for trying to create "a better, more just world."
Nuclear proliferation and Middle East violence were the hot topics as scores of leaders began showing up in Havana for the Nonaligned Movement summit, which now includes two-thirds of the world's countries.
Some diplomats said the developing world must unite to demand the creation of a Palestinian state.
Others said containing nuclear weapons was the key issue.

Variety show to raise theater funds
1970
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
The student core ensemble practices the opening number during Thursday's dress rehearsal of "Pastiche" at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
University Theatre at the University of Kansas wants to perform its way to Lithuania by the end of the year.
vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
The theatre kicks off the 2006-07 season with a fundraising variety show called "Pasticice" at 7:30 p.m. today and Saturday at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall. The show will finance a production of "The Snow Queen" at the National Drama Theatre in Vilnius, Lithuania, this December.
Charla Jenkins, director of public relations for University Theatre, said Romas Vikshritis, director of the National Drama Theatre, came to the University to direct a production of "The Snow Queen" last December.
"He was so taken with our company that he wanted us to come to Lithuania and put on a production there," Jenkins said.
Jenkins said the show would be the first time in many years that the University Theatre would raise funds for a project through a production. John Staniunas, associate professor and chair of theater and film, conceived the show to raise funds and showcase the talents of KU students.
The program, co-sponsored by Headmasters Salon, will feature instrumental, dance, vocal and monologue performances from KU students and staff. The performance will also incorporate puppetry and short films for a multimedia element.
Stacey Fox, technical and facilities manager of Oldfather Studios at 1621 W. Ninth St., will open "Pastiche" with an ensemble performance, which includes a song ensemble she composed, called "Aye he aye." The performance will feature heavy world drumming beats. Staniunas choreographed dancers to move to the beat of the drums, and Fox created a short film of animation and experimental film clips to be shown on a screen behind the performers.
"I originally composed the song we will perform a year and a half ago," Fox said. "We have been using it when we perform in public, and it has been a real crowd-pleaser."
All seats for "Pastiche" cost $10.

Author criticizes fundraising
Republican argues for increased competition, disclosure
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Give the power to the people because that's what America's Founding Fathers intended, said Rodney Smith, Republican campaign fundraiser.
He addressed the topic of campaign fundraising and how it prevented true competition in the election process to an audience of about 55 at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics Thursday night.
Smith is an expert on the topic. In 30 years, he raised more than a billion dollars for Republican committees and candidates. He also wrote the book "Money, Power and Elections: How Campaign Finance Reform Subverts American Democracy," recently published by Louisiana State University.
His book evaluates the election process historically. He studied two control periods, the first, from 1920 to 1976 and the second, from 1976 to 2000.
"Since 1976, there has been a 60 percent drop in the number of challengers to race against incumbents," he said.
He argued that government controlled elections with finance reform laws. He said finance reform laws increased the chance of incumbents being re-elected in the House and Senate.
He also argued that the right of free speech was not in fact free and "without money, candidates are speechless," he said.
"The laws have shifted the odds of winning to the wealthy; the incumbents and the challenger gets the crumbs," he said.
In his book and to the audience, he explained how the Founding Fathers started democracy and gave people the power of free speech. He said there were fewer campaigns today because there was not enough financial competition.
He said America needed to do away with dangerous limitations. He would rather see full public disclosure of a candidate's campaign funds so that the public could see where the money comes from and
how it's used. This, he said, would allow people to make an informed decision.
"Let the candidates have enough money to draw attention to their issues and create more debate," he said. "Debate is what the country desperately needs."
Smith said candidates had the choice to raise money on their own or take government subsidies. He said in general, whoever raised the most money won primaries. He looked to 2008 and speculated that candidates who raised their own money would also be more likely to win elections.
After his lecture, he answered questions from the audience and signed copies of his book.
"It's a power play, and it brings instability to the election process," he said.

LaBute remembered performing "All Men are Whores" on the steps of the library during freshman orientation, which he said some of the administration frowned upon. He also performed in a storage room of Hashinger Hall.
Robert Findlay, who was LaBute's playwriting teacher, attended several of those performances that were staged at residence halls. He said LaBute and his work were brilliant.
"It was clear that he was going someplace," Findlay said. "He was an unusual talent."
LaBate developed his persistence and passion as an undergraduate student at Brigham Young University. He said his plays there were often performed at odd hours, such as 9 a.m., and were rarely publicized because the administration of the Mormon school was disapprovving of his work.
For a long time, LaBute felt that he was justifying himself and his work
to his classmates, his administrators and his church. He said the hot air that came with being young, brash and in love with what he was doing helped him to work through that, but it was difficult. He recently resigned his membership from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which he joined while at BYU.
Critics and viewers have attacked his work for being brutally violent and dark. But LaBute said he was only trying to make his work honest and faithful to his characters.
"That means sometimes the story ends unhappyly or it doesn't work out for them," he said.
Although his stories sometimes project a bleak outlook, "rays of hope" always shine through the darkness, LaBute said.
LaBute is rehearsing the play "Racks," which was originally performed in Ireland and will be revived in New York with Ed Harris.

Palestinian government changes Talks will reconvene with U.N. about peace plan
BY SARAH EL DEEB ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Palestinian Cabinet resigned Wednesday to clear the way for a new unity government, and President Mahmoud Abbas said he plans to send a delegation to the U.N. to try to revive a Mideast peace plan.
The mass resignation is the first step in forming a government that would include both the Islamic milli-
tant group Hamas and Abbas' moderate Fatah faction.
Government spokesman Ghazi Hamad said the ministers handed their portfolios to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader. The next step would be Haniyeh's resignation. Abbas would then pick a candidate to form a new government — probably Haniyeh.
Abbas said earlier Wednesday that he would send a delegation to the U.N. General Assembly next week to try to revive the long-stalled
"road map" peace plan.
The plan — drafted by the United States, the United Nations, the European Union and Russia known as the Quartet — called for confidence building steps leading to the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel by 2005. It was launched by President Bush with great fanfare at a summit in Jordan in June 2003. But neither the Palestinians nor Israel met their initial obligations, and the plan never got off the ground.
"We want to revive the road map at the United Nations," Abbas said during a televised news conference with Polish President Lech Kaczynski in Ramallah.
Israel echoed those remarks.
"We're all for the restarting of the road map," Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisin said, adding that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke about revitalizing the peace plan over the weekend with visiting British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
U. N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Wednesday members of the Quartet would meet next week on the sidelines of the General Assembly meeting, calling it "a very critical time for the people in Palestine."
Annan said he received a call
on Tuesday from Abbas informing him of the agreement with Hamas to form a unity government in which all members must accept the program and previous agreements entered into by the Palestine Liberation Organization.
"I think this is a very important development," Annan said of the unity government.
Western governments froze aid and halted contacts with the Palestinian Authority when Hamas refused to moderate its militant positions after winning January parliamentary elections and forming a government.
Abbas said Hanijey would likely remain in his post.

"As for who will be prime minister, of course the majority in parliament will be making the decision, and, without a doubt, the majority in parliament want Haniyeh," the president said. "But until now we can't say when he will form a new government. And as I said in the beginning of the week, the government will be formed soon, God willing."
She said Abbas "is someone with whom we can work and with whom we are working"
But Rice insisted a Palestinian coalition must adhere to internationally accepted principles of recognizing Israel, renouncing violence and accepting previous agreements between Palestinians and the Israelis.
Those are the "very essential elements" of a solution, she said. "It's hard to have a partner for peace if you don't accept the right of the other partner to exist."
Livni, who met Bush on Wednesday, said Abbas "has to decide whether the Palestinian Authority will operate on his terms or on the terrorists' terms."
Israel, the United States and European Union label Hamas a terror group and insist it must renounce violence, recognize Israel and accept previous peace accords. State Department spokesman Tom Casey said the U.S. would not resume aid until the Palestinian government accepts all the conditions.

New buses would make campus cleaner
The other day as I was riding my bike behind a bus along Jayhawk Boulevard, choking on the fumes as always. I noticed an advertisement for a health program, covered in grime, to help me quit smoking.
The black cloud of smoke that billowed out when the bus started moving again quickly brought me back to the present.
The brownish crud on the advertisement was the residue of tiny particles produced by the engine. The smallest particles, less than 10 microns across, contribute to asthma, lung cancer, smog and acid rain, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Maybe the buses should have signs: "No breathing within 20 feet of exhaust."
Maybe it wasn't the irony of the smoking sign covered in what is essentially diesel ash that made me smile, maybe it was the nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") also spewing from the exhaust pipe. According to research used in formulating the Kyoto Protocol, nitrous oxide is $ ^{a} $

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
greenhouse gas at least 275 times as potent as carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide doesn't bother me much, but the amount is a little alarming. Each gallon of diesel burned creates about 22 pounds of carbon dioxide. The buses use 6,000 to 7,000 gallons every two weeks.
While the amount of these pollutants put out by buses is certainly less than would come from an equivalent number of cars, this is still a problem. Besides contributing to global climate change, etc., the exhaust just stinks up campus and can make people sick.
However, all new buses will have to comply with tough EPA emissions standards that lessen
particulate pollution and dangerous sulfurous fuel.
Retrofitted filters could reduce the particulate pollution, but this would cost $5,000 to $10,000 per bus and would still fail to address other emissions. Tougher restrictions on the fuel suppliers are also stopgap measures.
The KU Transportation Research Center is working with the University and the bus company to introduce a pilot electric bus on campus.
"That's what the future is going to be," Bob Honea, the director, said.
Honea points to Chattanooga, Tenn., as an example of a city that's been transformed by electric transport. Previously known as one of the dirtiest cities in America, its clean energy initiatives have made it an example for the rest of the Tennessee Valley.
"The town made a conscious decision to start cleaning up their environment." Honea said.
ity problem like Chattanooga's, a transition to electric would greatly increase the air quality in places like bus stops and, of course, right behind the bus.
While it takes time and money to switch, KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System are open to the possibility.
There are two public meetings to solicit input from the community this coming week. The first is Monday, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the City Commission Room of City Hall. The second is Tuesday, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Union.
Cleaning up campus is our responsibility. Getting rid of the familiar sight of a black cloud slowly floating upward will help everyone on campus.

I'm writing about Grant Snider's cartoon in Tuesday's UDK. I thought that the portrayal of foreign graduate students was inappropriate, xenophobic and just generally mean-spirited.

GUEST COMMENTARY
I will not go into the insanity (yet) of posing for Playboy, because while I think it sad, I do recognize a person's right to do stupid things in college.
Think before baring all for camera
And I guess by saying that, I have to admit that Allan Barzegar, Wichita freshman, has a right to say stupid things like "I think it's pretty cool that they've got Big 12 girls showing what KU has to offer" (Wednesday, "KU makes strong showing for Big 12, nine women pose for Playboy spread"). I'm sure he meant in a good way. Right
give you is a Bible.
Let me ask the women who posed for this magazine a question. Is this what you, as a KU student, are offering? I hope you said no. And I hope the men of KU don't think this is what KU has to offer.
I really wish Allan and other men of like mind would think a little deeper about the damage that not only this kind of comment makes, but also the damage that buying into the entire pornography industry inflicts upon our culture as a whole. But I know men, college men especially, aren't going to hear it, and least of all from a woman.
So, ladies, let me offer you some opinion. As fun and titillating (no pun intended) as it may be to pose nude in an iconic magazine such as Playboy, the result, the product actually is intended to be consumed by men.
You are offering because this is how men receive it. And you're not offering yourself. You are offering your naked body and other else's fantasy of who you are. Maybe you know this and you think that's great. But I think it's sad and surely not what you had in mind when that part of your conscience finally gave in to you being okay doing this.
Please tell me that little voice said something more reassuring to you than, "Think of what you will be offering to men everywhere." Then next time, or to any other women who might consider this, stop the insanity and say to yourself, "I have more to offer and better ways to offer it."
Angela Rathmel Staff, KU Libraries
Men and women are different. There is no question about that. Men, women and transgender people have different experiences, feelings and interpretations of how best to serve our country.And those different ideas and opinions are good for democracy.
Since 1789 only 2 percent of the members of Congress have been women, according to the Eagleton Institute of politics in New Jersey. Today 15.1 percent of the 109th Congress is made up of women.
The current 15 percent is a much better number than the historical 2 percent, but that's like saying Mizzou Arena is a better name for a basketball stadium than Elizabeth Paige Arena. Neither is something to be proud of.
This media attention shows that our country is becoming more and more at ease with the idea of women in power, but it is not enough to simply be comfortable with the idea of women in politics. We must take the idea and make it a reality. We will all be better off with equal gender representation in politics.
More women still needed in politics
Just think of the experiences, insights and ideas we are missing by not including more women in politics. Our current political climate is stale, partisan and negative. By increasing the number of women participating we could help change that.
101
There has been a lot of talk about women in politics recently. There is a continuous national debate about the virtues (or lack thereof) of Hillary Clinton, there was a (short-lived) television show about a woman as president and even the University's own Dole Institute of Politics got in the game by hosting the First Woman President Lecture series last semester.

It is not as simple as saying "we need more women in politics." We must foster a society in which gender equality in politics is the rule, not the exception. We must educate future generations in such a manner that when they see anything other than a 50-50 split of men and women in the Congress, state legislatures and city commissions, they are outraged. And we must work toward eradicating the ignorance that allows people to continue to believe women have nothing to offer the political and public realm of society.
》 TALK TO US
As a state, Kansas has a lot to be proud of: We rank 7th in the nation for highest percentage of women in our state legislature (Missouri ranks 26th, just in case you were wondering). So let us build on the example of Kansas and work together to spread gender equality throughout the United States.
If we can find a balance of genders in our political system,we can build a stronger nation.

The average cost of tuition for a Kansas resident, without financial aid, is estimated at $6,152.50 for one school year.
A non-resident of Kansas, without financial aid, can expect to pay $15,122.50 a year.
An estimated $750 a year is the average amount spent on books. Required fees and extra materials are not included.
Many students also have to pay for gas, which at more than $2 a gallon can lead to an average cost of $30 for a mid-sized sedan.

HALO (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
HALO, along with the Multicultural Resource Center, Office of Multicultural Affairs, Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Sigma Lambda Gamma and the KU Latino Council, will hold events that celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at the University in the coming weeks.
The month will officially kick off with a DJ, games and crafts outside of the Kansas Union at noon today. Most events are free and both Munoz and Izaguirre stressed that they are open to anyone, regardless of race,
gender or religion.
Events throughout the weeks will include community service days, a Latin cuisine night, a movie night and salsa dancing lessons. Munoz said the month will also include the first ever Hispanic-American-based statewide soccer tournament called CopaKansas on Sept. 24.
Munoz said he was looking forward to promoting HALO through Hispanic Heritage month to let the KU community know about multicultural opportunities through different organizations on campus.
"It is important to have the Latino voice out there; without that we would lose some of our culture," Munoz said. "And this attracts more diversity to KU."

THE TRUTH
Big 12 North's weekend games crucial to credibility
M. E. BERGAMOTH
BY DEJUAN ATWAY
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DATWY@KANSAN.COM
There has been talk around the country from so-called experts that this could be the biggest college football weekend in the last 10 or 15 years. But it's an even bigger weekend for the Big 12 North.
The top half of the Big 12 map has been treated with the same amount of respect that Screech from "Saved by the Bell" gets at Hollywood casting sessions.
Kansas will be on the road to face the Toledo Rockets as the team tries to capture that elusive fourth road win in Mark Mangino's four-plus years as head coach. Kansas State plays Marshall, and while it is by no means the same Marshall program that was spitting out NFL talent like Chad Pennington or Randy Moss, it's still a decent program that beat the Wildcats in Manhattan just a few years ago. Iowa State will battle in-state rival Iowa for supremacy of, well, whatever they do or have in Iowa.
Colorado will try to bounce back against Arizona State after two bad losses. Missouri will be looking for revenge against a New Mexico State team that came through Columbia and punked them last year. And finally, Nebraska travels to Los Angeles to take on Southern California in ABC's prime time match-up.
I'm not saying the Big 12 North will win all its games this weekend, but if the teams can come out and give a good showing while not getting blown out, that would be a step in the right direction. It would get the North some respect and credibility it sourely lacks at the present time.
Think about the respect the Big 12 North has now. An undefeated but unimpressive Kansas is an underdog to a winless Toledo team. Iowa State, the second best team in the North, is a two-touchdown underdog to Iowa. As the alleged best team in the North, odds makers say Nebraska shouldn't even make the trip to Los Angeles.
This might be the perfect season for a Big 12 North team to upset Texas, Texas Tech or Oklahoma. The Longhorns were defeated handily by the Buckeyes in Austin, Tech escaped with an overtime road victory against the University of Texas-El Paso and Oklahoma has looked less than stellar with Paul Thompson at quarterback.
The Big 12 was formed because of the money that could be made from a football-dominant conference. In the beginning of the Big 12, things were much more balanced, with the South and North splitting the first six championships. But the South has now won three of the last four by a combined score of 148-48.
I'm not saying it will happen, but I do expect the North to show some resolve and prove that good Big 12 football does not only reside in Texas and Oklahoma.

UGLY ROAD RECORD HAUNTS KU
92 75 55
In last October's game in Manhattan, senior quarterback Adam Barmann prepares to throw as former Kansas State defensive end Tearrius George attempts to block him. The Jayhawks lost this game 12-3, and in the four years Mark Mangino has been coach, the team's Big 12 Conference road record is 1-12.
Under Mangino, Jayhawks have 3-17 mark away from home
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
"They can read," Kansas' football coach said.
Mark Mangino had no need to remind his team this week of its recent history on the road.
There isn't much good news to fill them in on anyway.
Entering tonight's game at Toledo, Kansas is just 3-17 on the road under Mangino, including a 1-12 mark in the Big 12 Conference. The Jayhawks last road victory came in their 2004 season finale in Columbia, Mo. That's more than 23 months ago.
Despite the ugly road mark,
Kansas hasn't played as poorly as history suggests. Four of those 17 losses have come by single digits. The Jayhawks were in nearly all of last season's six road losses entering the fourth quarter.
"You've got to have that mental edge that you're going to finish this thing out," he said.
The lajhawks' problem hasn't been that they've been blown out. Instead, the problem is that the team has made just enough mistakes to lose the game.
Mangino said the way to change that trend was a simple change in attitude.
the program's past road struggles, players said Mangino focused on what they must do to change their fortunes away from Memorial Stadium.
Instead of reminding them of
— it only seats 26,000 — winning there won't be an easy task. The Rockets have won 34 of their last 36 games there, dating back to 1999. Included in that streak
"Coach talks about it every day," freshman linebacker Brandon Duncan said. "How we have to go out there and block everything out and be road dogs."
are victories against four Top 25 teams.
While Toledo's home, The Glass Bowl, won't be as large or rowdy as any stadium in the conference
On top of Toledo's success at home, several Kansas freshmen will play their first road game, including quarterback Kerry Meier, backup running back Jake Sharp and safety Olaitan Oguntodu.
Mangino said the first inclination about this season's first road game would be that his younger players would struggle. He's convinced they won't.
"Some of those kids are so young they haven't been in this situation," he said. "The triumph of the uncluttered mind."

High ranking fails to sway effort to improve
BY MARK DENT
Soccer fans will be rewarded with root beer floats for attendance and Kansas soccer players will rejoice in their first set of home games in three weeks.
"The girls are just excited to be back home and play in front of their family and friends," coach Mark Francis said.
Call it a mini celebration
No. 18 Kansas (4-1-0) plays host to Pepperdine today at 5 p.m. and takes the field against Central Florida at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Fans will receive free root beer floats at Sunday's game.
Unlike their root-beer-float drinking fans, the Jayhawks are not ready to start celebrating yet. Kansas did defeat Duke and Alabama last weekend to earn a No. 18 ranking in the Soccer American top 25 and a No. 20 ranking spot in the Soccer Times poll. But the team still wants to improve.

>> WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
To improve, Kansas must win on road
1.7
BY B.J. RAINS
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
BRAINS@KANSAN.COM
During the past seven years, Kansas football has won only six road games.
No, you didn't misread; that was only six victories in 42 games, or a 6-36 record.
A team trying to be successful in the Big 12 has to be able to win on the road. Mark Mangino on the road is 3-17, including a winless season away from Memorial Stadium last year. There is no way that Kansas will have a successful season this fall unless it gets over that hump and finds a way to win on the road, and it starts with tonight's game against Toledo.
Toledo enters as a five-point favorite and has been dominant at home over the past few years. If Kansas could somehow win the game, it would set the stage for a potentially historic season. If Kansas returns and beats South Florida, it would travel to face nationally ranked Nebraska in Lincoln with a perfect 4-0 record, and it also would have some much-needed confidence having finally won a road game.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though, because tonight's game is going to be a lot harder than people think. I just can't figure out why it is so hard for the Jayhawks to win on the road. Yes, last year they did have a very tough road schedule, but the overall 3-17 mark under Mangino is terrible.
A team must win on the road if it wants to have a good season because it can't play all of its games at home. Conference play, when the jayhawks really need victories, has been even worse for them during the past 10 years. They are 3-33 since the start of the 1997 season.
"If anybody knew the answer to that, wed fix it as soon as we could," Ochoa said. "It's definitely a point of emphasis that we need to be better on the road if we're going to be a quality Big 12 team."
Athletics Director Lew Perkins may not have been concerned with Mangino's road record when he signed him to his new contract extension, but I am. Going 6-36 on the road is terrible, and I would not have extended Mangino's contract until he proved that he could overcome this hurdle.
"I really have no reason or explanation for it," safety Jerome Kemp said. "I don't know why we haven't won on the road. We won all of our home games last season but lost all of our road games. Any team is going to be more comfortable playing at home, so there is always that factor. But as far as our road games go, I just don't know."
Offensive lineman David Ochoa wants to know the answer, because he knows that they must overcome that hurdle this season if they want to be successful.
I asked a couple of players at Tuesday's press conference why the team has been so bad on the road but yet so good at home. Not even the players knew the answer.
Hopefully for Jayhawk fans, this season will be different and Mangino will find a way for his young bunch to start winning away from Memorial Stadium. If he doesn't, no one will need to include watching Kansas in a bowl game when making winter break plans.

Kansas prepares to take on Missouri State before Big 12 Classic Hockey Tournament
BY KYLE CARTER
The KU Hockey Club starts its season with a home game against Missouri State this weekend. The teams play at 8 p.m. Friday and again at 3 p.m. Saturday at Ice Midwest in Overland Park, which is the team's home.
New coach Geoff Knight will direct the club's fourth season as a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, or ACHA. Though this is Knight's first season as coach, he and assistant coach Timon Veach have been involved in the program for the past five years.
Other home games this season include Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas and Missouri. The two toughest games of the year will take place on
the road at Colorado and Colorado State. Both finished last season ranked in the ACHA's top 10. The team will also have a chance to compete for a league title in the first Big 12 Classic Hockey Tournament.
Several key contributors return from last season's team. Senior Adam Paulitsch anchors a trio of goaltenders, and seniors David Knight and Adam Crohn as well as junior Nick Hantge lead the offense.
"Most of us spent the summer working hockey camps and hitting the weights on our own," Hantge said. "We have a much stronger team this year."
Crohn and Hance said early March games against Missouri could be the biggest of the season. The Tigers took two close games
from Kansas last season, and Crohn said the team wanted to avenge those losses.
"That was our low point last year," he said. "It's fiery when we play them. We definitely don't like each other."
Hantge agreed.
"The whole team took those losses personally," he said, adding that offseason trash talking from Missouri and other Big 12 teams had goaded them to work harder.
The layhawks finished last season with a record of 11-17-2. For their complete schedule, go to www kuhockey.com.

Competing well this early in the season isn't new to the Elm Creek, Neb., junior.
Wissel won both the Manhattan and Lawrence tournaments last year going into the Roy Griak Invitational, held in Minneapolis, Minn., where he placed 22nd.
The Griak, which will be run Sept. 23, kicks off the real season as far as Wissel is concerned.
"These first two meets are kind of like the preseason," Wissel said after his victory in Manhattan. "We need to come out and run well."

The men's team has performed well together thus far this season and is being recognized with a Top 25 ranking from the U.S. Track and Field Cross Country Coaches
Association.
The team's ranking of 10th is impressive since it was given without two-time Big 12 champion Benson Chesang running a race because of coach Stanley Redwine's decision.
"It's a great place to start and our goal is to finish there or better," coach Redwine said in a statement, "However, the season is long, so the rankings don't mean as much to us as the actual competition. It brings notoriety, but we have to live up to that reputation."

16-year-old female golfer loses to men in sixth try at tournament
BY ALAN ROBINSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FARMINGTON, Pa. — The course was too long, the competition too good. Michelle Wie has an exceptional golf game for a 16-year-old, except when she's playing against the men.
Heavy rain softened up the thirdlongest course on the PGA Tour and created ideal scoring conditions Thursday at the 84 Lumber Classic, but not for Wie. Her sixth attempt to became the first woman in 61 years to make a cut in a tour event looks to be unsuccessful, much like the other five.
Wie. "I had six or seven puts that looked like they were going to go in the hole and didn't. And that was really frustrating."
Wie, playing in her third and last U.S. men's tournament this year, shot a 5-over 77 on a day when there were 25 scores in the 60s on the large Mystic Rock course. She has almost no chance to make a cut that was at even par a year ago.
She was in a five-player tie for 125th, with the top 70 and ties after the second round advancing to weekend play.
Michelle *I* watches her tee shot on the 15th hole at Mystic Rock Golf Club in Farmington, Pa., during the first round of the 84 Lumber Classic golf tournament yesterday.
"I don't feel any extra pressure because I'm a girl out there," said
Nicholas Thompson, a 2005 qualifying school graduate who is 181st on the money list, took advantage of an early starting time on a course soaked by 1 1/2 inches of overnight rain for an 8-under 64. It was the tournament's lowest round since Vijay Singh's opening-round 64 in 2004. Thompson hopes to follow Singh and 2005 champion Jason Gore by turning at least a share of the first-round lead into a title.
"Had it not rained and the scores had been this low, I would have been surprised," Thompson said. "Due to the rain, it softened up the greens" and allowed golfers to aggressively go for greens they knew would hold their approach shots.
Mark Duncan/AP
Thompson, a former U.S. Walker Cup team member, had a two-shot lead over a crowded group of six
at 66 that included Rory Sabbatini and Reno-Tahoe champion Will MacKenzie. Six more were at 67.
Sabbatini, a speedy player, was paired with Ben Crane for the first time since becoming so upset with Crane's overly deliberate play in the 2005 Booz Allen Classic that he intentionally played out of order to show his unhappiness. Crane had a 73.
Wie also played slowly, and not all that well. She got off to an encouraging start with three consecutive pars after starting at No. 10, potentially calming her nerves on a course the Hawaii high school student knows well. But her round began getting away when she missed a short par putt on the par-4 13th, starting a stretch of three consecutive boeveg.
Playing in the last group of the day, she never had a chance after that despite being repeatedly encouraged by a large gallery that chanted her name on No.17.
Her best chance for the birdie she didn't get came on the par-4 No. 4, but she missed a 6-footer.

BY DREW DAVISON
The Jayhawks will try to snap out of their two-game losing skid at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center when they face the Texas Longhorns.
After being swept at Nebraska to open Big 12 Conference play, Kansas (7-3, 0-1 Big 12) has another opportunity to pick up its first conference victory of the season against No. 5 Texas (6-2, 1-0). But it won't be easy.
"We'll see a team that is very similar to Nebraska from an athletic stand point and a physical stand point, so it will be another great challenge for us," coach Ray Bechard said.
Texas is coming off a sweep of Texas Tech on Wednesday night. The Longhorns had four players named to the preseason all-conference team, and Ashley Engle was named preseason Big 12 Freshman of the Year.
Texas is led by Dariam Acevedo, senior outside hitter, who ranks third in the Big 12 in kills, averaging 4.55 a game.
Bechard said that it is tough to judge his team when it opened conference play against two national-championship-caliber teams: No. 1 Nebraska and No. 5 Texas.
He said playing a team like Nebraska helped prepare them for Saturday's match.
"We can't expose them to that type of physicality in practice, so, obviously, we have an opportunity to learn from that experience," he said. "It helps them understand how fast the ball is moving and from what angles it's moving."
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said the team has a great chance to beat Texas.
"We just keep improving, and eventually we're going to beat some good teams," she said.
Correa said Kansas' serving improved against Nebraska, when the team committed just eight service errors.
The layhawks are 2-1 at home this season. Last year, Kansas went 4-6 at Horeksi against conference opponents.
"We're excited about Texas because it's at home," Jamie Mathewson, senior libero, said. "We think we can protect our house more than anything."
Last season, Texas beat Kansas both times the teams met. Texas leads the all-time series record 19-4.

Past record favors Toledo
FOOTBALL
Rockets possess strong offense, upperclassmen in arsenal
BY SHAWN SHROYER
The numbers don't lie.
Although unbeaten Kansas faces winless Toledo tonight with the better record and the advantage in the all-time series (2-0), a deeper look into each team's recent histories justifies the four-point spread in Toledo's favor.
Under coach Tom Amstutz,
Toledo has been dominant at home
with a 26-2 record. The Rockets
also have yet to lose a home opener
under Amstutz, and tonight is their
2006 home opener.
Toledo will trust its upperclassmen to protect its home field advantage — especially those on offense.
The Rockets boast 10 starting upperclassmen on offense with the only outcast being sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran. Nevertheless, Cochran has proven capable of leading the Toledo offense.
Cochran struggled somewhat last week against Western Michigan, throwing for 218 yards, no touchdown and two interceptions. However, Cochran flourished in his season debut against Iowa State, passing for 367 yards and three touchdowns. Based on the performance by Kansas' pass defense last weekend, Cochran could be poised for another stellar performance against a Big 12 opponent.
Mangino said he was not only impressed with Cochran, but also with his receiving targets, particularly senior tight end Chris Hopkins. Hopkins leads the Rockets in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Steve Odom is Cochran's most reliable option, having caught at least one pass in all 39 games of his college career.
Although Toledo passes nearly 60 percent of the time, junior running back Jalen Parmele is a threat out of the backfield. Parmele is averaging 5.2 yard-per-carry and 107 yards of offense per game.
Toledo features eight starting upperclassmen in its 3-4 defensive scheme, but its inability to keep opponents out of the end zone and lack of turnovers has led to its 0-2 record.
Toledo allowed Iowa State to score a touchdown in the first three quarters of the game and in all three overtimes, plus the deciding two-point conversion in the third overtime. Last weekend was no different as Western Michigan scored touchdowns in every quarter but the second.
The Rockets also have a -4 turnover margin, owed in part to their zero forced turnovers after two
games.
The key for Toledo will be scoring first, which it didn't do in its first two games. If Toledo can get the early lead on Kansas, then Kansas will be forced to trust freshman quarterback Kerry Meier to erase the deficit. The Rockets have been decent in their pass defense, allowing just 332 passing yards in two games.
Under Mangino, Kansas is 3-17 on the road and has won only one of its last 13 road games. Kansas was more competitive on the road last year, but overall, the Jayhawks have been outscored 665-388 on the road under Mangino.
"You have to have that mental edge that you are going to finish it out," Mangino said. "The better you get as a team, the better the chances are of winning on the road. And we're getting better and better."
Tonight's game will be the first road game for as many as 14 starters. If Kansas' road woes are to end tonight, it will be up to these younger players, like sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera.
"It won't be a big difference to us; it'll just be another game," Rivera said.

Cubs rally past Dodgers with 6-5 victory at home

The Dodgers headed home after losing two of three at Wrigley Field to the Cubs. who are 29 games under .500. Los Angeles begins a key four-game series Friday with second-place San Diego,
J. D. Drew's three-run homer off Carlos Marmol gave the Dodgers a 5-2 lead in the sixth and put Hong-Chih Kuo in position to win his second straight start.
But Tomko (8-7) was rouged up. Ronny Cedeno's single, a bunt single by Juan Pierre and a two-out RBI single by Ryan Theriot made it 5-3. Ramirez followed with his 33rd homer to left, giving him 100 RBIs for the season.
Scott Eyre (1-2) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of hitless relief. Bob Howry pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save in nine chances.
Kuo, in his second major league start after beating the Mets six days ago, gave up seven hits and two runs in six innings with no walks and six strikeouts.
Chicago's Wade Miller, who spent most of the season on the disabled list, allowed just one hit in five innings — a two-run homer off the right field foul pole by Marlon Anderson in the second. He left with the game tied at 2-2.

Giants' pitcher brings team to victory against Rockies
SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain has dominated every opponent and inspired comparisons to baseball's greats during an incredible one-month stretch for the San Francisco Giants.
The precocious right-hander is more interested in keeping his club in the playoff race until his 22nd birthday — which happens to be the last day of the regular season.
Cain allowed two hits in eight superb innings to win his fourth straight start, and the Giants gained ground in the NL West race with a 5-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday.
Omar Vizquel scored the game's first run in the sixth inning on Moises Alou's double-play ground, and the Giants rallied for four more in the seventh to win for the eighth time in 11 games.
Cain (13-9) made it easy with another standout performance. The baby-faced rookie retired 10 of Colorado's first 11 hitters, then set down 13 straight after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the fourth.
"Some kind of pitcher, huh?"
Giants manager Felipe Alou said,
later likening Cain to a young Tom Seaver.
"That's what you call controlling the game. "That curveball, he's throwing it where they have to swing at it. In my mind, he's as good as anybody."
Cain had seven strikeouts and never tired in a 118-pitch outing. Vinnie Chuk completed the two-hitter, pitching a perfect ninth.
"I'm just getting ahead of guys and trying to get to them early," Cain said. "I feel a little calmer in the second half. ... We had a good battle going on early, and we finally got to Aaron (Cook)."
"We were completely shut down," said Colorado manager Clint Hurdle, whose club has lost to Cain three times this season. "Cain took care of us. He was very good. ... He has definitely made some strides forward. He's a pretty solid candidate" for NL Rookie of the Year.
Cain, whose 13 wins lead all NL rookies, has been nearly unhittable for a month now. He's 5-0 in six starts since Aug. 12 with a 0.21 ERA, allowing just one earned run in 42 innings _ and he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 30 2-3 innings.
"Every game counts now," Cain said. "Everybody is really watching the scoreboard."

Host embraces new stage Former 'Will & Grace' star launches talk show Monday
BY FRAZIER MOORE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Megan Mullally, long an audience fave on "Will & Grace," had already moonlightened once or twice as a guest host on other talk shows. But subbing for a laid-up Dave in March 2003 — and feeling comfortable, relaxed and in her element — Mullaly had a revelation, right there on "Late Show."
NEW YORK — She got the itch at David Letterman's desk.
"It had never occurred to me that hosting a talk show was a job that you could actually have," she says, chuckling that such a truth could somehow have eluded her. "It had seemed like a very far-fetched profession. Like being an astronaut."
But the show will be more than star chat. Mullally also promises comedy and music. And, as a singer who starred on Broadway in the musicals "Grease" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and who fronts her own band, Supreme Music Program, she will occasionally favor viewers with a song.
Now she's about to blast off with her own weekday talk-variety hour, "The Megan Mullaly Show," premiering Monday at 10 a.m. on KMBC Channel 9. Her first guest: Will Ferrell, which is not a bad get.
"We're gonna get away from the celebrity culture a little bit," she adds, explaining that regular folks will be an important part of the guest mix. "We want to remind people that everybody's special and has a story to tell."
Launching in tandem with the show will be a Web site where viewers are invited to upload short films and other self-expression that could possibly appear on the air.
Monday will mark the end of a lengthy process for Mullally that began with pondering what to do with her life once "Will & Grace" (and her dream collaboration with co-stars Eric McCormack, Debra
"We want to encourage people to explore their creativity," she says.
Messing and Sean Hayes) had run its course.
A spin-off sitcom for her character — the riotously fabu Karen Walker — was explored.
"But doing 'Will & Grace' for all that time was so satisfying, I don't have that much to prove to myself in that regard anymore," she says. Besides, she had the talk-show itch.
Then NBC Universal got it, too,
signing Mullally for a seamless
transition from the eighth and final
"Will & Grace" season to her new L.A.-based venture.
"January to April, I was going through the whole process of ending 'Will & Grace' and grieving that, while working full, full, time on this talk show," she says
Easier said than done. It entailed getting one thing up and running while she weathered emotionally wrenching months to bring the other to a close.
— "which did offer solace ... sense that I knew what I was gonna be doing now, and that I had a purpose."
Her immediate purpose: Weighing in on countless decisions, from the concept of the new show to the look of the set down to the logo's design ("You have to see it on the side of the building and on every piece of paper for who knows-how-long!").
Being boss is a departure for Mullally, who notes, "I never even had an office before. And I'm 47!"
But the only decision she acknowledges losing was what the show would be called. She can't say exactly what she might have preferred, but having her own name claimed for the title unnerved her at first.
"People answer our phones with my name! It took me a while to disassociate myself from it, to tell myself they were saying something like 'Heinz Ketchup' instead. Otherwise," she laughs warily, "it's just too weird."
If Mullally seems to have a streak of becoming modesty, maybe she does. Raised in Oklahoma City
and reaching Los Angeles via the Chicago theater scene, she seems pleasantly untouched by Hollywood hauteur. She radiates a serene but amused take on the world around her.
And for this recent interview she is turned out smart but casual in jeans and a fuchsia silk jacket, a reflection of the personal style she describes as "very average-loe."
Unlike, say, the character with whom she became so identified (winning a second Emmy only last month for her portraval).
It's a character that clearly connected with viewers.
"I loved playing Karen," Mullally declares in a voice that seems several octaves below Karen's helium squeak, "and I definitely would have done 'Will & Grace' for like 40 more seasons."
"I've had so many people come up to me over the years and say, 'Honey, you're so real!' And I think: How do you get 'real' from Karen Walker, a super-wealthy, alcoholic, pill-popping, inappropriate beeatch?"
But behind Mullally's outrageous performance, viewers could detect something authentic: The actress herself, savoring Karen right along with them.
Now Mullally is about to let the audience meet her with no one in between.
It starts even before she goes on camera.
She likens the sensation of appearing as herself to an out-of-body experience where she can keep tabs on herself to keep it real.
"I lock myself in my dressing room and just look at my knee, or a spot on the wall," she confides. "You have to get out of everything for a minute, and just be an organism functioning on the globe. Otherwise, you're this entertainment robot in a dog-and-pony show and you don't have anything to offer of yourself."
That's not the itch she's looking to scratch.

High-profile marriage ends Houston and Brown to separate after 14 years together
BY JOHN ROGERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The tumultuous marriage of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown — which withstood drug addiction, Brown's numerous arrests, the decline of Houston's once-sparkling image and domestic abuse allegations — is coming to an end.
The Grammy-winning, superstar singer file, papers in Orange County Superior Court on Friday requesting a legal separation from her husband of 14 years. The reason given was irreconcilable differences.
"It is a legal separation. It is not a divorce or a divorce petition." Phaedra Parks, an entertainment lawyer in Atlanta who represents Brown, told The Associated Press.
Houston's publicist, Nancy Seltzer, said the singer would have no comment on the action.
Asked about speaking with Brown, Parks said, "Bobby's not speaking with anyone at this time."
Houston and Brown, who had a home in Alpharetta, Ga., have one child, a 13-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
According to the court documents, mother and daughter now reside in Laguna Hills, Calif.
Houston asked that she be granted custody of the girl and that Brown be allowed visitation rights. She asked that property rights be determined later.
When the couple wed in 1992 the union seemed to outsiders to be a mismatch. Houston — one of the best-selling singers in history — was a glamorous, pop superstar with a super-clean, princess-like persona, whereas Brown, who rose to fame as a member of the boy band New Edition before striking out on his own, was a sometimes coarse R&B singer with a more street-wise image.
But as the years wore on, it would become hard to determine
Together, the two were a tabloid editor's dream. When Brown was released from a stretch in jail a few years ago, an ecstatic Houston greeted him by jumping into his arms and throwing her arms and legs around him before a throng of fans and media.
And in a 2002 ABC interview with Diane Sawyer, an erratic-sounding and wan-looking Houston, with a profusely sweating
which one was more troubled. Brown — best known for hits like "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step" — would be arrested numerous times for drugs and alcohol, and once for hitting his wife, while Houston's own battles with substance abuse suicided her image.
Brown by her side, admitted dabbling in drugs but denied using crack, then uttered the now famous phrase: "Crack is wack."
Houston checked into a drug rehabilitation program in 2004 and again
love life.
in 2005, announcing the second time that she was also using prayer to help overcome her drug problems. Brown said at the time he was doing what he could to help her.
When the couple wed in 1992, the union seemed to outsiders to be a mismatch. But as the years wore on, it would become hard to determine which one was more troubled.
But earlier this year, the speculation of a possible split intensified. Brown's sister made headlines when she alleged in a National Enquirer interview that Houston was addicted to crack. She also supplied photos of what she said was Houston's bathroom, littered with garbage and evidence of drug use.
Houston, 43.
"It takes two to make things work, so I have to be there for her just like she was there for me when I went through my rehab stint," he told "Access Hollywood."
The couple did separate for a time a few years ago, but their marriage endured, despite rumors and speculation. Their life was put on display last year with Brown's reality series, "Being Bobby Brown" on Bravo. The show actually made Brown look like a stable influence, while a jittery Houston was on display; the couple often crudely talked about their marriage and
Recently, Houston has made attempts to clean up her public image. On Tuesday night, she attended a public event with cousin Dionne Warwick and mogul and mentor Clive Davis in Beverly Hills. And she is working on an album of new material; she hasn't released a record since 2002.
won multiple Grammys in the 1980s and 1990s, including two for the megahit "I Will Always Love You," from the 1992 film The Bodyguard, in which she also starred opposite Kevin Costner.
"I Will
Always Love You," won Grammys for record of the year and best female pop vocal, and The Bodyguard soundtrack won album of the year.
Houston also won Grammys in 1985 and 1987 for best female pop vocal for "Saving All my Love for You" and ("I Want to Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." She won a Grammy for best female R&B vocal in 1999 for "It's Not Right But It's Okay."
Her musician husband recently reunited with New Edition for a show at July's Essence Musical Festival. The show got mixed reviews from the audience when Brown jumped suggestively around the stage and made vulgar remarks about his sex life with Houston.

Later, space agency spokesman Igor Panarin was quoted by RIA-Novosti as saying no seats on the Soyuz spacecraft would be available until 2009.
The Duma turned down the proposal, agencies reported. Wednesday, without specifying the vote tally.

KU
KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas enters its first road game of the season after surviving a serious scare against Louisiana-Monroe. If this, team hopes to get back to a bowl game, it must find a way to win games away from Memorial Stadium. The good news for Mark Mangino is that his team played fairly well on the road last season, but made a few mistakes that cost games. The key on the road is staying focused in a hostile environment and limiting mistakes. If Kansas can do that, it has a good shot against an experienced Toledo team.
5 QUICK FACTS
3 — number of road wins in four seasons under Mark Mangino.
7 — number of total touchdowns, passing and throwing, by Kerry Meier this season.
11 — number of games, out of the last 14, that Kansas has held an opponent under 100 yards rushing.
12 — ranking of Kansas' pass defense among other Big 12 teams.
160.5 — average number of all-purpose yards by Jon Cornish per game this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Cornish
Senior running back Jon Cornish set a goal of at least 1,000 yards this season, and he's certainly well on his way. Through the first
two games, Cornish has nearly 250 yards, putting him one-quarter of the way there. When most of the offense struggled at times against ULM, Cornish was one of the lone bright spots. With an experienced offensive line and Cornish's ability to make plays, expect the senior running back to have another big game against the Rockets.
QUESTION MARKS
Secondary — Kansas' secondary now ranks last in the Big 12, after giving up nearly 400 yards passing against ULM last week.
Suspended cornerback Aqib Talib should be available to play tonight, but Mangino said he's yet to reach a final decision. With Talib back, Kansas regains its starting secondary and can begin to work building the chemistry that made last year's defense among the nation's best.
Without Talib, Toledo's pass-happy offense could have a big night.
Kerry Meier — The freshman quarterback had difficulty at times finding open receivers in last week's victory against ULM. When he did find them, Meier often stared them down, tipping off defenders. No question, Meier has steadily improved during his first two games. However, last Saturday's game showed indications this offense will rise or fall on Meier's right arm.
FIGHTING HISTORY Kansas tries for road victory
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. TOLEDO 7:06 tonight, Toledo, Ohio, ESPN2
Kansas
Offense
While struggling at times against Louisiana-Monroe, Kansas' offense has steadily improved during the first two games at home. Tonight, quarterback Kerry Meler and the offense look to continue that progression and ruin Toledo's nationally-televiised home opener. For Kansas to come out with the victory, Meler must remain poised and in control, as he's shown in the first two home games. If Toledo's fans can get in his head and start to rattle the usually confident Meier, this offense could revert back to last season's form.
KU KU
Defense
While Kansas's secondary has struggled through much of the first seven seasons, Nebraska
While kansas secondary has struggled out much of the first two games, its rush defense has picked up where it left off last season. Despite losing a combined six linebackers and defensive linemen from last season's rush defense, the Jayhawks have held both opponents this season under 65 yards. If Talib is back in the secondary for
Kansas it should go a long way towards stopping Toledo's passing attack, which completes nearly 75 percent of its passes. Tonight should be a good indication of how much the secondary learned from last week.
Toledo
Offense:
Momentum
KU KU
Despite owning the Big 12's second longest winning streak, Kansas players feel like they have something to prove tonight. After narrowly avoiding an upset at home last week, the Jayhawks are out to prove that last week's close call won't start a trend this season. The good news for Mangino is that his team has played fairly well on the road in the past, but made enough mistakes to cost them the victory. Winning on the road has been a point of emphasis by players and coaches throughout the summer and training. Whether that added focus pays off will be seen tonight.
KU KU
Through its first two games, Toledo has shown it can move the ball through the air and on the ground. Against Iowa State, sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran passed for 367 yards and three touchdowns. Cochran threw for about 150 fewer yards against Western Michigan, so junior running back Jalen Parmele picked up the slack, rushing for 113 yards while sophomore running back Richard Davis reached the end zone for the Rockets' only touchdown of the game. Cochran should find success against a Kansas pass defense that has allowed 944 passing yards in two games. The Toledo offensive line will have its work cut out for it, trying to make holes for its running backs. Although Parmele is averaging 91.5 yards a game, the Kansas defense has allowed just 113 rushing yards in two games.
Ryan Schneider
TOLEDO TOLEDO TOLEDO
Defense
The Toledo defense is strong where the Kansas offense is weak, but weak where the Kansas offense is strong. Despite giving up 45 points to Iowa State, Toledo
is this season. Freshman cornerback Barry Church leads the team with 20 tackles, but someone in the front seven will need to lead Toledo in tackles tonight, because Kansas is going to run the ball. If the cornerbacks and safeties are making the tackles, that means Kansas is making first downs. The Toledo defense must also help
causing some turnovers, because it has yet to force one this season.
TOHEDO TOL
Momentum
Outside of the Vegas odds, not much is in Toledo's favor heading into tonight's game. The Rockets are 0-2 to start a season for the second time in three years and are 0-2 all-time against the Jayhawks. However, there's no reason for Toledo to panic just yet. The Rockets haven't lost a home opener since 1999 and haven't started a season 0-3 in nearly 20 years. They are also 26-2 at home under coach Tom Amstutz. Toledo should also be encouraged by its performance in week one when it took Iowa State, which was picked to finish second in the Big 12 North, to triple overtime on the road. Now Toledo will get to play host to Kansas, which was selected to finish fourth in the Big 12 North.

TOLEDO KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas fans might be familiar with 0-2 Toledo teams, because the last time Toledo started a season 0-2 was in 2004 after failing to Kansas 63-14. History is on Toledo's side, though. The Rockets haven't lost a home opener under coach Tom Amstutz and tonight's game is their 2006 home opener. Despite the Rockets' record, it's hard to blame the offense, which has outgained its opponents the first two weeks. Turnovers paralyzed Toledo last week in a 31-10 loss to Western Michigan. Trailing 14-10, but driving down the field, sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran threw an interception that was returned 92 yards for a touchdown. The Rockets had four turnovers in the game and didn't force any of their own.
5 OUICK FACTS
0 - Victories Toledo has against Kansas after two tries. Toledo lost 63-14 in Lawrence in 2004 and 30-7 at home in 1991
2 - Home losses under coach Tom Amstutz
39 - Senior wide receiver Steve Odom has caught at least one pass in all 39 games of his career.
9-4 - Toledo's record in 2004, which was the last season the Rockets started 0-2. Toledo won the MAC Championship that season.
1988 - The last year Toledo
1988 - The last year Toledo start ed a season 0-3
PLAYER TO WATCH
Cochran
Sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran, who is averaging just less than 300 passing yards a game, must be salviving at the
thought of facing a Kansas passing defense that allowed another sophomore quarterback to pass for 377 passing yards last week. Cochran had 49 passing attempts in Toledo's first game and 30 in its second; his attempts tonight should fall somewhere in between those two numbers. To take advantage of a shaky Kansas secondary, he will have to be more accurate than he was last week when he completed 60 percent of his passes and threw two interceptions.
QUESTION MARKS
Turnovers - Toledo had just one turnover against Iowa State and gave the Cyclones a run for their money in Ames, Iowa. Four Toledo turnovers last week allowed Western Michigan to walk away with a 31-10 upset. At the same time, the Toledo defense has yet to force a turnover this season.
NATIONAL GAMES OF INTEREST
MICHIGAN
No. 11 Michigan at No. 2 Notre Dame,
Saturday 2:30 p.m. on NBC
N
These rivals haven't met while being ranked in the top 12 since the 1994 season, when No. 6 Michigan beat No. 3 Notre Dame 26-24 at Notre Dame Stadium. Michigan leads the all-time series 18-14-1, but Notre Dame has the better 2006 resume, having beaten a dangerous Georgia Tech team and a ranked Penn State squad compared to Michigan's victories against Vanderbilt and Central Michigan.
HAPPY BIRD'S NEST
Notre Dame, on the other hand, hasn't had the luxury of holding anything back on offense. Heisman hopeful, senior quarterback Brady Quinn has completed 48 of 74 passes this season for 533 yards and three touchdowns.
Having to play lesser opponents before Notre Dame, Michigan has so far run a conservative offense, ranking 48th in the nation in yards per game. Nevertheless, the Wolverines are averaging 34 points a game and are 10th in the nation with 249 rushing yards a game.

No. 6 LSU at No. 3 Auburn
Saturday: 2:30 p.m. on CBS
This game could ultimately decide which team wins the SEC title. In five of the last six seasons, the winner of this game has reached the SEC Championship game. LEU leads the all-time series 21-18-1, but Auburn leads the series 8-5 when playing at home. These Tiger teams have more in common than their mascots — their offensive numbers are very similar.
LSU is averaging 26.5 more yards per game and eight more point-a game than Auburn thanks to its aerial assault. Junior quarterback JaMarcus Russell has completed 70.1 percent of his passes for 449 yards and five touchdowns.
Auburn junior quarterback Brandon Cox's stats aren't quite as good as Russell's with a 64.4 completion percentage, 440 passing yards and three touchdowns, but senior Kenny Iron has proven himself as one of the top running backs in the nation.

No.19 Nebraska at No.4 USC, 7 p.m.on ABC
Saturday will mark just the third meeting between these two storied programs and the first visit Nebraska has paid Southern California since 1970. USC won the first meeting in 1969, 31-21, in Lincoln and the schools tied 21-21 the next year in Los Angeles.
Nebraska comes into the game ranked second in the nation in scoring average - 52 points a game - and third in the nation in total offense - 541 yards a game. Unlike past years, the Cornhuskers are producing yards and points through the air, but like the days of old, the Cornhuskers are still running over defenses with their rushing attack.
USC has taken the field just once this season, but was dominant, defeating Arkansas on the road 50-14. The Trojans posted nearly 200 ronde yards of total offense than the Razorbacks and forced five turnovers while having none of their own.

Sunday morning blaze leaves two dead
Tonia Mann of Lawrence, with her nephew, John, stand across the street from the residence of Charles Glover Sr., which caught fire early Sunday morning. Glover, 66, and Marrona Johnson, 13 months, died in the fire. Mann is dating Terry Stafford, who is Glover's nephew. Mark Bradford, chief of Lawrence Douglas County Fire and Medical, said the owner of the residence, Learlean Hooks, had been hospitalized but was listed in good condition, and three other children residing at the address were reported as missing.
Three children still missing after flames consume home on New Jersey street
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Two people died, one was injured and three are missing after an early morning fire Sunday at 1205 New Jersey St.
As firefighters shuffled outside the blackened hull, family members stood off to the side. Neighbors and passers-by pushed up against the "Fire Line Do Not Cross" tape, straining for a look at the still-smoldering remains of the house.
At a press conference, Mark Bradford, chief of the Lawrence Douglas County fire and medical department, said the department had positively identified the bodies of Charles Glover Sr. 66, and Mariyana
Johnson, 13 months. Bradford said the two were related, but he declined to comment on the specifics.
Learlean Hooks, the owner of the home, was rescued and hospitalized. She was listed in good condition Sunday evening.
Three children are missing. The names and ages of the missing children have not been released. Bradford said rescue workers are working under the assumption they are looking for three bodies.
The deadly house fire comes just three weeks before the one-year anniversary of the Boardwalk Apartments fire, which killed three people.

As of 7 p.m., rescue workers were still attempting to make the house safe for entry. The investigation will begin once the building is deemed safe.
Terry Stafford, Glover's nephew, stood with his infant son in his arms, staring at the wreckage. He pushed his hat back on his head and gazed with somber brown eyes at the disarray in front of him.
"We lost loved ones." Stafford said. "It's huge. He didn't hurt anybody. He helped out the best he could with everyone.
Stafford said he received a call at about 2:30 a.m. that his uncle's house was on fire. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he said his uncle had already died.
The house at 1205 New Jersey St. burns early Sunday morning. The cause of the fire is unknown.
"My uncle cared a lot."
Other immediate family members declined comment to the media.
The two-story house was completely blackened except the south wall. Wipes of smoke still crept out from piles of rubble more than 14 hours after the blaze was under control.
The southern side of the house had completely, collapsed and the front porch had caved in on itself. Only beams and struts showed through the north side. The front

"I went downstairs and
I saw these massive flames," McVay said. "The air was so thick with smoke it was impossible to see what it was happening."
Neighbors said they woke up to what they thought was someone dropping furniture in the home next door. Two neighbors managed to pull Hooks from the home after they realized none of the family members were outside.
The neighbors said they quickly realized there was no way they were going to be able to help anyone else without professionals.
The investigation is still underway. The cause of the fire is unknown.

PUBLIC SERVICE
'Hawks, Cops and Kids' program a hit Law enforcement, KU athletes aid in Big Brothers Big Sisters event
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Nicolas Johnson was surprised when he stepped into Allen Fieldhouse Saturday morning.
Johnson, a 13-year-old middle school student from Leavenworth had the opportunity to play basketball with several members of the men's and women's basketball teams. He didn't know they would be there.
"You get to see them on TV during games, but seeing them in person is even better," Johnson said.
Johnson came to Allen Fieldhouse Saturday morning with more than 150 other participants in Big Brothers Big Sisters programs from the Kansas City area for the third-annual "Hawks, Cops and Kids" event.
Several law enforcement agencies, including the KU Public Safety office and the Lawrence Police Department, took part in the event alongside KU athletes. The event was free for children in
Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Local businesses sponsored the event and set out snacks for the children as they arrived.
Organizers hoped the morning of learning stations and sports drills would get the participants better acquainted with their favorite athletes and local police.
"They usually see us in uniforms and in cars," said Capt. Schuyler Bailey, KU Public Safety office spokesman. "This gives them the chance to spend time with us in a very relaxed environment."
At 9 a.m., children waiting in the bleachers at the Fieldhouse were shouting at the men's basketball players, "Dunk it! C'mon, dunk it!"
Freshman guard Sherron Collins and freshman forward Darrell Arthur held off at first, but soon grinned and gave in to the dunking demands. After several crowdpleasing dunks from Arthur, one

State one of 24 to receive 'B-plus' or higher for college completion rates
Graduation rate in Kansas above national average
BY KIM LYNCH
U. S. colleges are falling behind internationally in college completion rates, but the state of Kansas is holding its own.
According to a study from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, U.S. colleges rank 16th out of 27 nations in the amount of students who complete college degrees or certification programs.
In the report, only 24 out of the 50 states in the U.S. received a "B-plus" or higher for college completion rates. Kansas was one of the 24 states.
According to the study, Kansas received a "B-plus" in completion rates for college because 74 percent of freshmen at four-year colleges
and universities return for their sophomore year.
Kansas received an "F" from the study in affordability because college in Kansas has become less affordable, especially for low-income families.
Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said the study should prompt the U.S. to look at structural problems within its education system and at how students are being prepared for college.
Eakin said the University is in the last year of the tuition-enhancement plan which increased tuition for five years. The University tried to meet the problem of pricing out low-income students by setting

Crews have installed a temporary generator at Wescoe Hall to restore power to the building.
The power outage was the result of a center coil failure in an electrical transformer. The coil failed as a result of age.
Todd Cohen, interim director of University Relations, said the generator would remain in place until a new transformer could be ordered and installed in one to two months.
Classes were canceled Friday, but will continue as scheduled today.
The new transformer is expected to cost $60,000 to $80,000, Cohen said.
Cohen said the building opened for activities Saturday.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY MEGAN HIRT
Carrying on the nation's second oldest homecoming festivities is not a task that the 16 members of the University of Kansas' Homecoming Steering Committee take lightly.
The group of students has been hard at work since January to assure that the week of Sept. 30 through Oct. 7 will be special for both past and present KU students, as well as the entire Lawrence community.
"People don't realize that it's a week-long event," said Jennifer Denny, Homecoming co-director and Plano, Texas, junior.
Such dedication has reversed the recent fate of this autumn tradition, which began in 1912. The event saw its popularity wane in the 1990s when responsibility for planning the celebration was entirely in the hands of University employees.
The student-led committee emerged in 2000 and has since revamped what was once just a football game into a week-long celebration of Jaywhacky.
From choosing the theme to the food people will devour on Wescoe Beach during the eating contest — hot dogs this year, an intentional departure from last year's decidedly rich pumpkin pie — the committee is responsible for shaping the atmosphere on campus and enlivening the present Jayhawk population.
Homecoming Steering Committee
"Students know more what students want, and homecoming isn't just for alumni," Denny said. "The steering committee wants to get current students excited about homecoming so it's something they remember fondly when they move on."
Denny said that she hoped to see more student groups join in this
year's Homecoming events, and that she expected the recent changes to the participation, points system to make involvement more appealing to a larger number of organizations.
This year, groups will be split into two categories: Greek Life and Student Life. Denny predicted that this adjustment would attract smaller student groups that may have felt overpowered amongst seasoned Greek competitors in previous years.
The points system encompasses student groups and rewards them with points for their participation in homecoming festivities. Winners are announced during the weekend's football game.
A representative from any organization interested in participating should visit homecoming.ku.edu to download the information packet. Registration forms are due Wednesday by 5:00 p.m. to Room
400 in the Kansas Union.
As kick-off day draws near, the committee is in search of sub-committee members, whom Denny described as "the extra arms and legs that help pull everything together." Sub-committee members will work primarily at the Spirit Sprint on Saturday, Sept. 30, and the parade on Saturday, Oct. 7. Students interested in sub-committee positions should e-mail homecoming@ku.edu.
And although this year's homecoming festivities have yet to descend upon campus, applications for next year's committee will be available at homecoming.ku.edu before the end of October.

Mom's car repossessed with 5-year-old son inside
WILMINGTON, Del. — A 5-year-old boy took an unexpected ride when the car he was in was repossessed and driven to a car dealership, authorities said.
A 27-year-old woman called police Friday morning to report that her car had been stolen from in front of her home, and that her son was inside the vehicle, said county police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro.
Navarro said the woman had strapped the child into his booster seat, then went back inside her home to make a phone call.
Believing that the 1997 Saturn most likely had been repossessed, officers called the dealership, where an employee confirmed the repossession but did not know anything about the missing child.
The employee then walked outside and found the child crying in the back seat of the vehicle, Navarro said.
The 56-year-old repo man was taken into custody but later transported to Christiana Hospital.

ORGANIZATIONS
Religious beliefs, common music interest unites Tri Mu
The members of Tri Mu at the University of Kansas came together by chance.
The group isn't a fraternity or a registered campus organization. Instead of formally recruiting members, the 10 members of Tri Mu came together mostly as strangers. They now live together in a house at 1606 Tennessee St.
Chris Gorney, Wichita junior, said he joined Tri Mu after he decided not to complete the pledging process at a campus fraternity last year. A few days after Gorney decided not to pledge his friend from a class called to ask him if he would like to live with a few founding Tri Mu members.
"Everyone kind of knew someone," Gorney said, "Guys came in knowing at teast one other guy and it kind of grew from there."
Luke Thompson, Louisburg junior, said Tri Mu formed in the spring semester of 2005 as Mu Mu Music, titled for the founding members' musical interests. The group evolved into a collective of friends interested in music and sharing a Christian faith, but changed the name to make the title shorter.
Tri Mu members said participating in the group and living at the house has fostered a greater relationship and understanding of active Christianity. Paul Hefferon, Overland Park junior, lived in the house last semester and said it gave him an opportunity to delve deeper into his faith.
"I probably grew more in my relationship with Jesus while I lived at Tri Mu than any other time in my life," Hefferon said. "God showed me that He created so many different people that play wildly different yet equally crucial roles in his kingdom, and He showed me the joy that can be had in loving people for who they are rather than what they have to offer you."
At Tri Mu, members bond with the Bible. Thompson said he enjoys being able to hang around an alcohol-free and Christian environment.
Tri Mu is a relaxed environment and members don't have formal meetings or required events. Though the group remains unstructured for the most part, Hefferson said that he formed relationships with his fellow members.
Tri Mu members are also involved in Christian campus organizations, such as Campus Crusade for Christ.
"No matter what happens in my life, for the better or worse, I have guys that will always love and support me and that I can fill that role for them too," Hefferon said. "I love going over to the house just to be around them because their spirit and energy is contagious and you can feel God's love resonating through the entire house."
Thompson agreed with Hefferon.
"I would not want to live anywhere else," he said.

Collins then bounced passed to himself off the backboard and tried several high-flying dunks. At 5-foot-11, Collins is nearly a foot shorter than Arthur, and the onlookers were suitably impressed with his attempts.
Collins said he never had the chance to do what these children were doing, when he was playing ball at a major university with the team's

"We want to show them that to get to the big stage, you've got to work hard," Collins said. "You have to be dedicated to it."
Children listened to police officers give instruction about drug abuse, Internet safety and strangers. Athletes mingled with children during the breaks between sessions and held drills like running patterns on a football field or dribbling a basketball backwards.

Police arrest a third person Student steps forward to give name in school shooting plot
Edited by Kate Shipley
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Police have arrested a third person in a foiled Columbine-style plan to bomb and shoot students at a high school, investigators said Saturday.
Two 17-year-olds were arrested Thursday at East High School after a student went to an associate principal. A detective said Friday that one boy wanted to enact the plan Thursday but that the other talked him out of it.
> CRIME
Bradley P. Netwal, 18, was arrested Friday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit homicide and conspiracy to commit arson, according to a police department news release Saturday.
Police learned from interviews that Netwal, a former student at the school and a friend of the 17-year-olds, participated in the planning, police said.
Willham C. Cornell and Shawn R. Sturtz were arrested Thursday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homicide and conspiracy to commit arson. Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski said he planned to file charges on Thursday.
Court Commissioner Jane Sequin ordered Cornell and Sturtz jailed on $500,000 bond Friday, and the
three were being held in the Brown County jail. Netwal was scheduled to make an initial court appearance Monday.
Cornell's lawyer, Shane Brabazon, did not immediately return messages Saturday. No one answered the door Saturday at Cornell's home and no phone number could be found for Netwal.
"I'm glad they are in jail and I am not going to their funerals. I am sorry they are there," she said. "I am grateful for the kid who came forward."
East High School Principal Ed Dorff said Saturday he was not surprised by the third arrest.
"I don't know how much deeper this goes," he said. "We knew there was contact with others. We didn't know the level of contact."
Superintendent Daniel Nerad said that he didn't know the specifics of the teen's situation but that the school district has made stopping
Meanwhile, the mother of one of the suspects told The Associated Press on Saturday that the boys were victims of bullying and harassment at school.
Elizabeth Sturtz, 48, said her 300-pound son who has a learning disability was often bullied and that she understands how he could have been angry. But she said she saw no signs that he would plot such an attack.
Police found nine rifles and shotguns, a handgun, about 20 "crudely made" explosive devices, camouflage clothing, gas masks, two-way radios and hundreds of rounds of ammunition at Cornell's house, police Capt. Lisa Stern said. She said Cornell had made several of the improvised explosive devices about two months ago.
dangerous materials were found at the school, Stert said.
bullying a priority and has a strong stance against it.
Police Detective Tom Molitor testified at a hearing Friday that the 17-year-olds, who are seniors, told police they had been plotting the massacre for several years.
Police said they also found mannequin heads that appeared to have been used for target practice, and suicide notes.
Tiffany Brittain, 18, said Saturday that she hung out with Sturtz and Cornell and that she heard them talking about suicide and attacking the school.
They planned to set off bombs near bathrooms, light exits on fire with jelled gasoline so no one could escape and shoot people they had problems with, Molitor said.
"I thought they were joking. I never took it seriously," she said.

Text message tips off police
Suspect arrested in kidnapping girl rescued after texting her mother BY JEFFREY COLLINS The girl was found Saturday ASSOCIATED PRESS a'
LUGOFF, S.C. — A man suspected of kidnapping a 14-year-old girl and keeping her in an underground bunker was charged Sunday with raping the teen, Kershaw County Sheriff Steve McCaskill said.
Kershaw County Sheriff Steve McCaskill said Vinson Filyaw had eluded police with an elaborate system of hideouts and bunkers since November 2005 when he was charged with criminal sexual conduct on a 12-year-old girl.
He surrendered Sunday morning to police as he walked along Interstate 20 near Columbia, about five miles from where investigators found the teenager.
Police say Filyaw, 36, abducted the girl as she walked home from a school bus stop on Sept. 6.
Investigators arrested Filyaw in neighboring Richland County about 24 hours after rescuing the girl, who sent a text message to her mother on Filyaw's phone while he was asleep Wednesday, McCaskill said. The sheriff said Filyaw woke up and the girl still had the phone, but she told him she was simply playing with the phone.
Investigators used cell towers to determine a general location of the phone and deputies began searching for Filyaw on Friday night. McCaskill said the girl cried out as searchers approached the bunker.
"This little lady getting that message out was really the break in the case," the sheriff said. "She helped herself as much as we helped her."
Police say they still have not interviewed the girl, whose name was previously released when she was a missing person. The Associated Press is not using her name because police have identified her as a victim of sexual assault.
The girl was found Saturday about a mile from her home, hidden in a booby-trapped, 15-foot-deep hole carved out of the side of a hill and covered with plywood. The bunker had a hand-dug privy with toilet paper, a camp stove and shelves made with cut branches and canvas.
McCaskill said it looked like Filyaw was trying to dig another bunker under that one as a possible backup hiding place, but had to abandon it when it filled with water.
Filyaw had dug two bunkers in his own yard and two in the woods and had used them to hide out since he was charged in the assault case in November.
His girlfriend Cynthia Hall has been charged as an accessory and with neglect in the earlier case, McCaskill said. Investigators say she allowed the earlier assault to take place in her home and provided Filyw with supplies to live in the bunker.
Police were tipped off to Filyaw's location Sunday after getting a call from a woman who said he tried to carjack her about 2 a.m. outside a pizza restaurant, authorities said.
Filyaw was on foot about five miles from his house carrying a pellet gun, a Taser and a long hunting knife when police captured him. He gave up easily, McCaskill said, adding that he doesn't think the suspect had any help escaping.
"If he had help, he would have gotten much farther away," McCaskill said.
Filyaw was being held Sunday at the Kershaw County jail. The sheriff said he was not aware of Filyaw having an attorney.
Investigators said Filyaw posed as a police officer when he met the 14-year-old girl and the teen was walked around in the woods by her captor until she became disoriented.

E. coli outbreak kills one California spinach sickens 102 people
BY JUSTIN M. NORTON ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Federal agents from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intervened this weekend to help investigate an E. coli outbreak tied to tainted spinach from California's Salinas Valley.
The greens, which appear to be grown by the world's largest producer of organic produce, have sickened 102 people, including the death of a 77-year-old woman, according to health officials.
CDC officials said Sunday they've started an Atlanta-based emergency operations center to help state health agencies with E. coli testing.
Epidemiologists are helping test spinach samples and stool samples of those who have been infected, center spokeswoman Lola Russell said.
The center is helping when state health agencies can't perform the tests or when a second opinion is needed, Russell said.
E. coli cases linked to tainted spinach have been reported in 19 states, with a majority of cases in Wisconsin.
Other states reporting cases were California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming, according to the CDC.
The Food and Drug Administration continued to warn consumers not to eat fresh spinach or fresh spinach-containing products until further notice.

Shuttle departs from space station Atlantis will return to Earth Wednesday after work to expand space station
BY RASHA MADKOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Space shuttle Atlantis pulled away from the international space station Sunday for a return trip to Earth after its six astronauts bade farewell to the residents of the orbiting lab with hugs, handshakes and the traditional ringing of a bell.
"The crew of Atlantis is departing" station resident Jeff Williams radioed to Mission Control in Houston.
Pilot Chris Ferguson carefully eased Atlantis through a tight corridor away from the station. About 450 feet away, he fired jets to maneuver Atlantis around the space lab so the crew could take photos of their handiwork - a newly expanded station. The space station gleamed in the reflection of the sun.
In three arduous spacewalks with the blue-green Earth as a backdrop, the crew unpacked and installed a 17

The wings are the first addition to the orbiting space lab since the 2003 Columbia disaster. NASA will affix two more pairs of solar wings on the space station before it is completed in 2010.
The crew woke up to Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone." Pilot Chris Ferguson, whose family requested the song for him, told Mission Control in Houston: "That's great music for ... what will be a bitter-sweet day for us today, undocking from the station."

KU playmates don't represent University
The wait ended last week when Playboy released the "Girls of the Big 12" issue. The issue had men ogling and, for some, featured something to brag about.
The issue is nothing but cheap publicity for Playboy. Unfortunately, it has come to tarnish the good name of the University of Kansas.
The issue has now become some type of competition. As throngs of people waited for three of the featured women to sign copies of the issue, many took pride in the representation. It was as though the nine KU students featured represented the image of the University.
It's unfortunate that people will come to associate the University with topless women. The photos are not indicative of the University or its qualities.
Playboy's issue now has people associating the University with scantily clad women.
Those who think that having nine women in the issue is something the University should be proud of should look around. We have a pretty good men's basketball team, some highly decorated professors and nationally recognized professional schools. There's more to the University than just good-looking women.
The college issues have become way too over played, anyway. Every year Playboy picks a conference to feature, and every year people go out and buy it.

COMMENTARY
Have you ever sat in class and thought the person next to you was really rude? Or how about that time you were sitting on the bus minding your own business and that girl next to you was yelling on her cell phone about how mad she was at Courtney for stealing her Friends Season One DVDs? You know these people. They're all over. Now in my third year at the University, I've come to see these people on an almost daily basis, and I feel that, as a journalist, it is my duty to report my findings to you. Granted, it would probably take an entire newspaper to report everything, so instead I will just focus on some of the major types of annoying people around. Chances are you've been guilty of behaving this way at least once. I know I have.
The 'Last Night' group
This is the most rampant group on campus. These are the people who for some reason insist on boring you for hours with their worthless and moronic stories from the night before. "Yeah man, I got so wasted I came home and puked all over my dog." In a given day, you'll likely hear about 10 of these stories.
Generally, these stories are all the same. They first involve some place, usually a bar or someone's apartment or house. Next, they include consumption of alcohol, poor judgment, immaturity and lack of sensible actions.
The disappointing thing about these stories is that they rarely feature anything original. No one got so wasted they repaved their driveway. No one drank so much that they translated their entire physics book into Arabic. So instead we're left to hear the same recycled stories over and over again.
When did they start making Fruity Pebbles colored?

These are the type of people who will study 12 hours for an open-book quiz on the multiplication tables and still be shaking nervously the entire time.
Here's a typical conversation between a nervous person and their friend:
The people who need to relax
These are the people who are constantly nervous in class. Any assignment given to these people will result in an immediate raised hand and a slew of questions interrupting class for a good five minutes or so. "You said the paper has to be 450 words. Is 455 ok? Can I have more then two sources?"
It's not uncommon to see these people slamming their desks in agony after finding out their grade point average was lowered to a 4.6.
Nervous student: "I've got to do well on this English paper or ... I just don't know what I'll do!"
Sympathetic friend: "Wow, this is a huge problem. But don't worry, you can do it!"
Nervous friend: "No I can't! I got a 93 percent on the last paper. I just know that might happen again!"
Most teachers prohibit cell phones in class. But this doesn't stop a lot of students from using them.
First, there are the kids who never put their phones on silent. I can't remember how many times I've been
So my friend just wanted to say the Ellsworth deskie Lauren B. is incredibly hot. We always love coming in during her shift.

--sitting in class and all of a sudden I hear "In Da Club" coming out of someone's backpack. Then there are the people who think we can't hear when their phone is on vibrate, as if we can't hear something vibrating in your rocket or purse.
But greater than all of these is the phenomenon that happens the second class is dismissed. Next time you get dismissed from class, watch how many people immediately reach for their cell phones and call someone. It's as if they were expecting a call from President Bush or something.
Second, there is text messaging. I can't believe people still think the teacher doesn't notice that you're staring at your laptop something. There's no laptop in front of you. So, the logical conclusion is that you're text messaging. And chances are you aren't typing to your friend about what a kickass lecture you're hearing.
The procrastinators
Procrastinators are funny people because they tend to think they need to brag about it, as if procrastinating were difficult. They waited until the last minute to write their paper on igneous rocks and they feel like boasting is necessary to prove what an amazing student they are. "I didn't write this paper until five minutes ago! Well ... granted, there are 47 typos and I'll probably get an F, but that doesn't matter because I did the unthinkable — I put something off until the last second!"
I guess all you can do is shake your head and laugh at annoying people. Either that or run really fast across the street and just hope they don't follow you.

Smoking on campus not sexy or alluring
Warning: This column is not for anyone under the age of 18; anyone who suffers from being too "PC," or anyone who lives righteously by "moralis." I want to declare that cigarettes make you look cool, but only if you know how to smoke in the sexiest way possible. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death, and that the death toll caused by tobacco-related products is at nearly five million people a year. By the year 2020, the number of deaths will double to ten million a year if the current smoking patterns continue.
But, to a smoker, do statistics matter, or does that warm, oakey, satisfaction in your mouth and throat matter more?
The bottom line is that women smoke to be as elegant and classy as Audrey Hepburn in *Breakfast at Tiffany's*. Men smoke to be wild and mysterious like Brad Pitt in *Fight Club*. Besides that, smoking is an enjoyable activity after a stressful day. The Marlboro Man embodied that rugged sexiness one can create while smoking cigarettes. Although, ironically, the two actors who portrayed him, Wayne McClaren and David McLean, died of lung cancer, we as a nation will never forget how the Marlboro Man taught adults, teenagers, and children what it really meant to be "cool."
M
Besides the taste, cigarettes and smoke rings provide an air of mystery. Why would one smoke if he did not want to be the ultimate in sexy? People aren't stupid. I could write about cancer, yellowed teeth, bad skin and other disastrous effects of lighting ciggies, but those effects are already known and disregarded. I could blabber on about being a role model to children, but that argument is too cliche.
It saddens me to see smokers on campus not enjoying their cigarettes correctly. They walk, hunched over,

their cigarettes hanging out of their mouths. They blow their smoke in front of us non-smokers and receive looks of disdain. Smoking while walking is not alluring. Smoking in a crowd of non-smokers is worse. Being annoying is not seductive.
When a person is walking, they can't really enjoy their cigarette, so what is the point of wasting one of those precious, expensive sticks of wacky coback? Put a patch on if you can't wait to savor the flavor.
Smokers are at their sexiest when they are outside in a dark corner, brooding and staring off into the sky, away from public entrances. It is at this moment when smokers really channel their inner Johnny Depp or Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Sometimes it's sexy to smoke when giving phone interviews or creating artwork alone in a studio. Sometimes it's sexy to smoke in an alleyway in the winter with a greasy man and a haggard woman, while all the happy non-smokers are inside.
That is where smoking belongs. Either when the smoker is alone or when the smoker is in a dark, alluring area away from the general public. Smoking should not be done while walking on campus, or dining out, or near building entrances. Receiving ditty looks is not sexy. According to a call to the Free for All, the next person who smokes on campus while walking is unsexily going to get carted on. Keep that in mind.

》 LETTERTO THE EDITOR
Morality found in all faiths and beliefs
In response to Adam Lockridge's letter "Morals, law are one," he is absolutely correct to assert that most countries, regardless of political system, have legislated morality. It is important to realize, however, that there are certain immoral actions, such as murder, that are collectively denounced by nearly all faiths, as well as by both the religious and the secularist. There is a clear pluralist consensus on this issue.
To claim that depriving the country of its Christian humanism history would lead to the imposition of a "non-secularist" morality. Under this presumption, someone not following Christian teachings is a "non-secularist" even if he may be Jewish, Buddhist, or of any other faith. It is absurd to claim certain values
and institutions are Christian-limited and anything different is "non-secularist," when so many morals are shared collectively and transcend religions and labels.
This sort of reasoning is unnecessarily polarizing and troublingly flawed because it seems to claim there is some sort of Christian mandate that provides a moral blueprint that everyone should follow, with no consideration given to the severity of the issue in question. Gay marriage is a civil rights issue that should be handled irrespective of Bible literalism. Let us not forget the power true religion can play in such a struggle.

Researchers tag monarchs track migration patterns Group follows butterflies through 3,000-mile trip
BY MATT ELDER
The University of Kansas' Monarch Watch held its annual butterfly tagging Saturday in front of the largest crowd in the event's history.
"I'd be willing to bet this beats our all-time best of 2001," said Orley "Chip" Taylor, professor of biology. "There's easily been 400 people today."
The watch is sponsored by the Department of Biological Sciences. The event was held at the 573-acre Haskell-Baker Wetlands on 31st Street east of Louisiana Street, whose goal is to provide a educationally
sponsored wildlife reserve.
Both students and Lawrence locals found swarms of butterflies in the conservation's wooded areas, where hundreds of monarchs floated in between trees. Once a monarch was caught, a circular, nine millimeter sticker was placed on its wing to track its migration. The butterflies will continue their migrating pattern south, where some will have traveled as many as 3,000 miles.
Michael Sanders, Topeka senior, has been involved with Monarch Watch since his sophomore year in 2004. He helped with the event Saturday.

"It's an on-campus job that's beneficial," Sanders said. "And it gives me experience doing real life research."
Sanders said it's been exciting to be involved with the program throughout his college years while also learning about the different aspects of the monarchs migration patterns — specifically the timing, origins and lifespan patterns of the migration cycle.
Both The New York Times and a German television crew were present to film a documentary of Saturday's event. Taylor hopes that both the national and international coverage will increase awareness for the monarch population.
"What we're trying to do is conserve a species by knowing the dynamics of the population," Taylor said. "To know this is to be able to frame some sort of process that's needed to conserve it."
Both Taylor and Sanders recognize the scientific importance of preserving the monarch population through their findings and are hoping that after this year's increase in media coverage the American public will as well.
"When you're on a continent that's losing three to four thousand acres a day just due to development, we're not going to have much of a habitat left in another 50 to 100 years," Taylor said. "If there's wildlife out there we cherish, we have to do something about curbing our appetite for expansion."

MIRACLES DO THEY EXIST?
Do they exist? One of my wife's coworkers asked for us to join her and her family at the local hospital where her father was in a coma and about to die. He had a massive heart attack, his kidneys were not working and the doctors said that if he did not die, he would be on dialysis for the rest of his life and would likely be a vegetable. We were all invited to see him in his ICU room. My wife & I went in. When we got in, I told the spirit of death to leave and told his
body to be healed in Jesus' name, I then laid my hand on his foot. He instantly started shaking all over like a fish out of water. When I took my hand off, he stopped. I did that twice and left. The next day he awoke, his non-functioning heart, kidneys and liver started working just fine. He was breathtaking normally as well. He was released from the hospital shortly after~ perfectly healed.

Hurricane Gordon, meanwhile, had been inching over the ocean at 3 mph but picked up speed Sunday, forecasters said. Its eye was centered about 1,365 miles west of the Azores and moving northeast near 14 mph.
It had top sustained winds near 80 mph, up slightly from earlier in the day.
The National Hurricane Center's latest forecast for the season expects between seven and nine hurricanes, a slight reduction from earlier predictions.
Scientists said this week that weak El Nino conditions had inhibited hurricane development by bringing higher ocean temperatures that increase crosswinds over the Caribbean. The winds can rip storms apart or stop them from forming.
But National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists warned that the El Nino effect on hurricanes has been small so far.

TOLEDO 37, KANSAS 31 (20T)
Are difficult subjects like chemistry and literature getting you down? Need to add a couple more hours to your schedule this semester?
The University of Kansas School of Football (FBAL) just released its fall course schedule. You'll want to enroll soon, as the most popular classes are sure to fill up quickly. Some highlights:
FBAL 3A2 THE SINGLE-QUEST
In this graduate-level course, professor and offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro will show you how anyone can turn a simple run play into an exciting adventure with two simple words: shovel pass.
FBAL 503: Second question
Professors Dave Pasch and Rod Gilmore from ESPN2 will teach you how to elevate second guessing to an art form, and shame your entire profession in the process. By the end of the course, you'll be able to imitate gems like this one, after Kansas fumbled in the first overtime: "Was that the right decision, not to kick the field goal on first down?"
Note: Students must provide their own foam swords.
FBAL 301: Turnovers
Note: Class meets for extended hours on Friday nights FBAL 112: Calculating hours
Learn why the other team should always be able to finish its drive, no matter how easy an interception might be.
TEAL 112: Calculating your salary Graduate teaching assistant Charles Gordon will teach students how to live cheaply as an NFL practice-squad player by clipping coupons and asking starters, "Are you done with that?" EAPL 605 Talk like a coach
GAL 605: Talk like a coach
A comprehensive study in saving nothing in as many words as possible. Professor Mark Mangino will guide you as you write your 15-page thesis using phrases like "we gave 110 percent today" and "we've just got to keep sawing wood."
FBAL 308: The art of scheduling
Learn how small schools can subsidize their athletics department simply by losing at football. Final exam will involve making a mock schedule using only schools named "Tech," "State," "International" or any two cardinal directions.
Not quite ready to win on the road? Mangino shows you how to handle being within a year of turning the corner. Class meets five times during the semester.
Prerequisite: FBAL 210: Ugly road losses.
FBAL 0021 Criminology

Jayhawks 'struggle to hang onto the ball,' commit 5 turnovers in double-overtime game
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
T
After winning its first two games despite turnovers and a sloppy offense, Kansas was unable to overcome itself on Friday, failing to Toledo 37-31 in double overtime.
OLEDO, Ohio --- It was a loss two weeks in the making.
The jayhawks turned the ball over five times including four interceptions at crucial times by freshman quarterback Kerry Meier. Those turnovers led to 22 points for Toledo. It was the offenses mistakes that kept Toledo hanging around until overtime.
After Kansas' defense had held Toledo scoreless on the initial possession of the first overtime, all the Jayhawks had to do was line up and kick a goal goal for the win. They had the ball at the 25 yard line, well within range for junior kicker Scott Webb.
On a play that was confirmed by both Meter and senior running back Jon Cornish as a run, Kansas made the most critical mistake of the game. As Meter went to hand off the ball to Cornish, the handoff slipped between the two, bouncing on the ground before it was recovered by Toledo.
just like that, on a play Kansas coach Mark Mangino called "basic," an attempt at a nearly surefire field pool was none.
"It hit my hip." Cornish said. "I wasn't expecting him to hang it off."
Just a week ago, critical mistakes by Kansas kept Louisiana-Monroe in the game until late in the fourth quarter. The same thing happened Saturday, but this time those errors added up to Kansas' first loss of the season.
On Kansas' drive in the second overtime, Meier telegraphed his pass to Toledo's cornerback Bo Martin. Martin sat back in coverage at the near the goal line watching the quarterback's eyes. Martin darted into the route and nagged the pass at the about the five-yard line and ran it back to midfield before Meier knocked him out of bounds.
Mangino said he was baffled by his team's struggle to hang onto the ball.
"you're not going to win any time you have five turnovers in a game," he said. "We've just got to be smarter taking care of the football."
The Jayhawks looked good at times on offense, especially with Meier and Cornish running the ball. But for too much of the night, railstakes in key situations cost the Jayhawks. Meier struggled with his accuracy all night, throwing numerous passes short or low of his intended receivers.
While Kansas' turnovers in regulation certainly helped keep Toledo in the game, it was the turnovers in overtime that cost Kansas the game.
Tokio scooped the game-winning touchdown on the next play.

The soccer team came into the weekend ranked No.18, but that ranking will likely drop after the Jayhawks allowed unranked Peperdine to score three second-half goals in a come-from-behind victory. The team was able to end the weekend with a victory, shutting out Central Florida 2-0 in a Sunday afternoon game.
The football team wasn't the only team to struggle this weekend. The KU volleyball team was swept in its match against the No.5 Texas Longhorns in front of a sellout crowd at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center Saturday night.

16 teams to compete at the Kansas Invitational
Sixteen teams will converge on Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence for the next two days as the course plays host to the Kansas Invitational.The tournament is the second of the fall season for Kansas, a team coming off of a fifth-place finish at the Rich Harvest Farms Intercollegiate.
Kansas has enjoyed strong showings in the past at the Kansas Invitational, which is the lone home tournament for the team. Last year, senior Gary Woodland led Kansas with a third place finish, trailed closely by sophomore Zach Pederson in fourth place. The Jayhawks have won the Kansas Invitation each of the last two years and once again have an opportunity to come out on top of the 16-team field.

Senior midfielder and forward Lacey Novak shields Pepperdine midfielder Courtney Price at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex Friday. Kansas got ahead with an early goal by Senior midfielder Jessica Kilpatrick, only to lose courtesy of three second-half Pepperdine goals.

Psychic or soccer coach?
Kansas coach Mark Francis predicted good fortune for Kim Boyer, and it came true. He told the freshman forward she would make a difference before she checked into the game,and Boyer did just that by assisting her team's only goal against Pepperdine.

Central Florida showcased a couple of acrobatic moves Sunday. A Knight forward attempted a bicycle kick for a shot on goal, and a midfeilder dove head first for a ball and still managed to block it with her foot.

NO SCOOT HOGGLES The Jayhawk Soccer Complex crowd contributed a couple of rowdy comments Sunday. After Central Florida received the ball four times in a row on questionable out-of-bounds calls, the crowd erupted at the official with these remarks: "Is this a one-way street?" and "Why don't you just put it in the goal?"
Kansas splits weekend games
Mark Dent
The goal was Bush's first of the season, and the 2-0 victory gave No.18 Kansas (5-2-0) some breathing room. The game helped Kansas recover from a disappointing 3-1 loss against the Pepperdine University Waves Friday.
BY MARK DENT
On Sunday, the Jayhawks had possession of the ball for what seemed like the entire game. Their offense shot the ball 21 times, eight of which were shots on goal. Gault and Bush were also involved in Kansas' first-half goal.
No.18 Jayhawks defeat Central Florida, lose to Pepperdine
"We just both kind of went in and moved around the box well," Bush said. "I got open and it was lucky."
Jessica Bush put an exclamation point on the Jayhawks' victory against the Central Florida Knights in a slightly unorthodox fashion Sunday. The sophomore midfielder didn't even realize what was happening during the play when she scored the final goal of Kansas' 2-0 victory.
Gault collected a pass from Bush in mid-run, chipped it over a defender and flipped the ball above
"Gosh, everything happened so fast," she said. "It was kind of a weird situation."
The strange circumstance started in the 59th minute. Bush chased down a high-flying ball that was kicked from midfield all the way to the goal box. The charging Bush nearly collided with Central Florida goalkeeper Jennifer Manis. Bush distracted Manis with her attack and caused the ball to ricochet off Manis' chest and toward the feet of nearby Holly Gault. The senior midfielder had an open look but passed it to 'Bush in the center of the box. Bush proceeded to kick the ball into the wide-open net.
"I'd been working on tipping it over the goalkeeper all week." Gault said. "I got the opportunity and wanted to put it in the back of the net."
the goalie, who had tried to stop Gault by running at her.
The two goals were the highlights of a game that Kansas coach Mark Francis said was his team's best of the season.
The Kansas defenders held Central Florida to only three shots on goal, which sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley saved for her second shotout of the season.
The offense was able to possess the ball for most of the game because the defenders cleared the ball quickly every time the Knights invaded the jahywhacks backfield.
"Julie commanded the box and the defenders fed off of that," Francis said. "We forced them to make passes they didn't want to make and picked them off"
But Francis added that it was the defense that did most of the work.
Kansas' best 90 minutes, according to Francis, came after its arguably worst 90 minutes. The Jayhawks could do little right against the Waves on Friday night. Pepperdine quickly dissolved a 1-0 Kansas half-time lead by scoring three goals in the second half.
"We threw it away in the second half," Francis said. "We didn't play with the same intensity and gave them the game."
"We talked about learning from Friday's mental mistakes before the game," Francis said. "Today we didn't make those mistakes, and that is important for our confidence."
Friday's poor performance made Sunday's game against Central Florida crucial, and Kansas' response was more than adequate in the eyes of Francis. He said his team needed this game before starting conference play next weekend.

Texas sweeps Kansas at sold-out home match
No.5 Longhorns dominate Jayhawks with height, hitting
BY DREW DAVISON
If everything is bigger in Texas, then that surely includes volleyball players. With six players listed at 6-feet-3 or taller, No. 5 Texas (7-2, 2-0 Big 12) had no problem sweeping Kansas (7-4, 0-2) Saturday night at the Horesei Family Athletics Center.
"I have not seen a taller team than that," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
"I don't want to get Nebraska upset, but they're one of the best teams in the country," Bechard said of Texas. "There is no question."
After the match, Kansas players said Texas was the best team they had played so far. Bechard agreed that Texas matched up favorably with the Nebraska team that swept Kansas earlier in the week.
This season, Texas has defeated defending national champion and current No. 3 Washington, as well as No. 4 Santa Clara.
"The key now is, hey, who is going to beat Texas or Nebraska in this league anyway, unless they beat themselves." Bechard said. "Let's move on and the next three or four
weeks, we've got matches that are winnable if we play well."
Texas won all three matches by the same score, 30-18. Texas committed just nine attack errors, for a stellar .458 hitting percentage, compared with Kansas' .176.
"We just played a team that was in a real good offensive system tonight and everything we tried just wasn't good enough," Bechard said.
Texas also dominated Kansas in blocks, Texas had eight team blocks and Kansas had three.
"They're so physical at the net blocking," Katie Martincich, freshman setter, said. "At every position, they must have strong players."
Martinicn led the Kansas offense with 23 assists.
Consistently during the match, the Longhorns were able to string together long runs, while the Jayhawks never found their offensive rhythm:
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter,
was the lone Jayhawk with double-digit kills, a match-high 14.
In game one, with the score tied at 11, Texas went on a 19-7 run, includ-

ng several threatened points to wit. Texas led by as much as 14 in game two, thanks in large part to freshman Destinee Hooker, who led the team with five kills.
After consecutive matches against No. 1 Nebraska and No. 5 Texas, Kansas will now face a less dominating stretch in its schedule.
Kansas will try to notch its first conference victory when it takes on Texas A&M (7-3, 0-2) at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Horejsi Center.
ing seven unanswered points to win.
Game Notes:
» With 14 kills, Correa has had double-digit kills a team-high eight times.
» Martinicich was the only jayhawk to record a service ace. The aced tied the second game at seven.

Texas swept the game, 3-0, and won all three games easily by a score of 30-18. Though the Jayhawks had trouble scoring throughout the game, fans were still supportive.' When the Jayhawks made a point, the PA announcer would say "Point KU!" and the KU crowd would repeat the phrase and loudly stomp their feet twice, every time.
Even a sold-out crowd of 1,300 could not propel the Kansas Jayhawks to victory against the No. 5 Texas Longhorns.

fan at home volleyball games this season. He said showing his support for KU athletics is really just himself being part of the community.
With Texas leading 17-11 in the first game, the chant of "Let's go Jayhawks!" echoed from the crowd. Grant Taylor, Aurora, III., junior and Dave Kaleba, Naperville, III., junior led the cheer. The two would also yell at the opposing team when players went to serve.
"It's a great atmosphere tonight. Whether it is basketball, football or whatever, everyone is real supportive," Wright said.
Kaleba said trying to disrupt the opposing team is something he and his friends have been doing since high school.
"Volleyball is the kind of sport where you can get in the heads of the players," Kaleba said. "There's not 10,000 people like in football. And the court is more conducive to taunting and heckling."
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, appreciated the packed facility even though the team's performance was not what the capacity crowd had hoped for.
KANSAS KANSAS 4
"There's so many people here," Brown said. "It's always nice to see everyone up in the stands. We get a lot of support, it really does help."
Coach Ray Bechard thought if the Jayhawks could gain momentum, the crowd would perhaps carry the Jayhawks to a victory.
"We just didn't get a chance to get them engaged very much," Bechard said. "I told the team if we get to a 20-20 game or a 25-25 game, obviously the crowd gets more involved. But it was great to see the stands full. That's for sure."

After playing well in his first two games, Meier made some errors partially because of his inexperience. He struggled some, yet made a few key plays, including a head-first dive to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. As quarterback, Meier said, it's his responsibility to run the offense, and took blame for the mistakes.
"I'm the one trying to lead the squad," Meier said. "We'll right this ship, and put this one behind us."
The loss dropped Kansas to 3-18 on the road under Mangino. The team's last road victory came nearly 23 months ago against Missouri. The talk about his team's road struggles appears to have become a point of frustration for the coach.
Junior kicker Scott Webb is now
0-for-2 on the season after missing
a 48-yard goal goal Friday night.
"I'll be very honest with you, I'm not obsessed with this road thing." Mangino said. "Did we fumble the ball in overtime because we were on a strange field? No, we just couldn't execute."
The kick would have tied a career-high. Tucker also missed a 28-yard attempt against Northwestern State in the season opener.
Notes:
It wasn't all bad news surrounding Meier's performance Friday. The quarterback was effective rushing the ball, gaining 57 yards on 19 carries. Meier ran for the score on Kansas' first drive; a 12 yard scamper down the left sideline.
Kansas' Jon Cornish is stopped by Toledo's Nigel Morris and Steve Morrison, back during the football game Friday in Toledo, Ohio. Cornish rushed for 89 yards against the Rockets.

Toledo scored 28 points off five Kansas turnovers. If it wasn't for those turnovers, this one would have been a blowout. Toledo didn't record a first down in the second half, yet managed to score two touchdowns. With Toledo's offense looking worse on each possession, the Kansas defense kept the team in it.

Fans relish rare Friday night televised game
BY SHAWN SHROYER
University of Kansas alumnus Dennis Blackwood had finished his meal at Molly McGee's nearly a half an hour earlier, but instead of paying his bill and going home, he and his friends moved to a vacant table for a better view of the televised Kansas vs. Toledo game.
Even though Toledo went into halftime with the lead and the momentum, Blackwood had a feeling Kansas would turn things around.
"Toledo looked pretty cocky, so hopefully we can make a comeback," Blackwood said.
He added that the Kansas second-ary would shut down Toledo sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran in the second half and that Kansas freshman quarterback Kerry Meier would struggle as the pressure of his first collegiate road game mounted. He was proven right on both counts.
Kansas held Cochran to three completions on 18 attempts for four yards in the second half and overtime. As a result, Toledo didn't convert a single first down during that
The crowd took a while to get into
span.
The road loss was nothing new to Kansas football, although the Friday night game was a change of pace for Molly McGee's, 2412 Iowa St. The restaurant was at 60 to 70 percent capacity, but an employee said the Kansas game attracted a larger crowd than the restaurant usually had on Friday nights.
Hagerman noticed that Meier looked tentative in all of his passing attempts after his third interception was returned 84 yards for a touchdown by freshman cornerback Barry Church. Roth and Best chalked Meier's performance up to youth.
Meier threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter with the game in the balance and was picked off in overtime when he inexplicably under threw his receiver in the end zone.
the game, but grew louder from play to play as Kansas marched toward its first touchdown of the game. Those cheers turned into cries of anguish when Meier was taken down in the end zone for a safety, and later became shouts of disbelief when senior defensive end Rodney Allen was in position to sack Cochran, but let him escape.
A few blocks away from Molly McGee's, Larned natives Trent Hagerman, junior, Realle Roth, junior, and Sarah Best, sophomore, watched from Roth and Best's apartment as Kansas added yet another loss to its road resume.
The most insightful comment from the crowd came after Meier completed an 18-yard shovel pass to senior running back Jon Cornish.
"The shovel pass always works!" the voice said. "It's like our out."
College football on Friday was also new to members of Blackwood's group, like Sheila Orth.
"If we weren't here, wed probably be at home watching Netflix," she said.
Although the Kansas game took up Orth's movie time, it did clear her Saturday schedule so she could take her pick of seven games featuring ranked teams.
Orth said she lived in Nebraska for several years and was looking forward to watching No. 19 Nebraska play No. 4 USC.

ayhawk defender Justin Thornton pushes Toledo quarterback Clint Cochran out of bounds during Friday's game. The Jayhawks lost 37-31 after the Rockets scored the winning touchdown in the second overtime.
Instead of complaints about the scheduling of the Toledo game, fans criticized Kansas football promotions as they watched Toledo fans pound inflatable noisemakers together in the Glass Bowl. Blackwood said a similar promotion for Kansas fans would help welcome the Jayhawks back to Memorial Stadium this week.
"KU should give fans some of those noisemakers," Blackwood said. "As loud as it gets in Memorial, those would make it even louder."

The Jayhawks couldn't solve their road wees on Saturday. With games ahead at Nebraska, Iowa State, Missouri and Baylor; there may not have been a better chance for a victory than Friday. How does Kansas' future look away from home this season?
Few teams have enjoyed success in Toledo recently, but Kansas looked embarrassingly bad at times Friday night. Kerry Meier's habit of throwing to the wrong team is exactly the sort of thing that will result in tough road losses as the season wears on. Until the young Jayhawks mature past the point of making foolish mistakes, victories away from Memorial Stadium will be few and far between.
Asher Fusco
The Toledo game was disheartening, but far above to understand that Keny Meier and the team must go the full hard times to become better. If the team can finish 2-2 on the road, it will be a huge improvement within the fast few years. The Jayhawks can look at Friday's game and know they had a victory within their grasp several times, giving them an advantage the next time they are on the road.
Daniel C. Weisselderer
The Jayhawks will play two games on the road this year because of the following strong points. The defense is solid, as evidenced by Mike Rivera laying people out. The secondary missed a few plays, but ultimately stepped up in the second half. I like how Kerry Meier is being allowed to run the ball. He needs to cut down on his interceptions, but that should come as he gains experience.
Kyle Carter
Kansas hasn't won in Lincoln since Lyndon Johnson was president, and Nebraska is better than they've been the past few years and victories in Ames, Iowa are never easy to come by. Baylor has improved recently and has played well so far this year, despite its record. The best chance for a victory may be against Missouri because coach Gary Pinkel's Tigers usually have trouble against the Jayhawks.
Jack Candler
Kerry Meier isonly doing to get better at the season of pro games. All thehas done else note the fresh in mistakes and Jayhawk fans will have a slight to their about little offense can eliminate the careless turnovers and the defense can guide a new Jayhawks to be able to pick up a game or two on the road.

R.E.M.'s original members inducted into Hall of Fame
ATLANTA — The four original members of R.E.M. gave a rare performance as the group was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
The group, which formed in Athens, Ga., in 1980, has won three Grammys and sold more than 70 million records. It has performed as
a quartet only a handful of times since 1997, when drummer Bill Berry left the group after suffering a brain aneurysm onstage in 1995.
"This is going to be loud," front man Michael Stipe said as the group launched into "Begin the Begin" from their 1986 album "Life's Rich Pageant."
Saturday's reunion performance was by far the largest and the first that was publicized in advance. Many of the roughly 1,500 people
Also inducted Saturday were Allman Brothers founder Gregg Allman, writer-producers Dallas Austin and Jermaine Dupri, and the late Felice Bryant. Bryant, along with husband Boudleaux Bryant, wrote country and rock standards including "Rocky Top" "Wake Up Little Susie" and "Love Hurts."
at the Georgia hall's black-tie induction ceremony clearly were there to see the group.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Chiefs lose to Broncos in overtime Denver wins with field goal as neither team could score a touchdown
BY ARNIE STAPLETON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Rod Smith was on the sideline with a concussion, Jake Plummer was having an awful day and nothing Mike Shanahan and his offensive staff came up with seemed to work.
Javon Walker bailed them all out.
He led Denver to a 9-6 win against Kansas City on Sunday by grabbing a 24-yard jump ball to set up Jason Elam's 39-yard field goal 5:10 into overtime at Invesco Field.
"I'm finally getting back to how I used to be, I'm finally getting back to how I was in Green Bay," said
the former Pro Bowl wide receiver acquired from the Packers in the offseason after missing almost all of last year with a torn knee ligament.
Walker led Denver with five catches for 79 yards and also had a key 16-yard run on a fourth-and-1 reverse that set up Elam's first field goal. His biggest play came in overtime, when he raced down the right sideline, slyly shoved cornerback Ty Law and hauled in Plummer's pass at the Chiefs 25-vard line.
"Javon wants to make plays. He wants the ball," Shanahan said. "It's exciting to see a guy who wants to get the ball every play."
Shanahan praised Plummer's
throw, but even Plummer admitted he didn't do anything special.
"There wasn't any timing on it, there was no leading him, nothing pretty about it. I was just throwing it up there and making sure I gave him a chance to come down with the ball, and he did," Plummer said. "And that's why we got him here."
So Plummer finally quieted the calls for his benching that began with his four-turnover performance at' St. Louis and continued when he threw an interception Sunday. He guided Denver (1-1) to just six points on its first eight drives.

This was the lowest-scoring game in the 93 times the AFC West rivals
Kansas City (0-2) kept it close with an impeccable game plan, Damon Huard, starting for the injured Trent Green, completed 17 of 23 passes for 133 yards in his first start in nearly six seasons, and Larry Johnson gained 126 yards rushing and 41 receiving.
"We probably would have taken more chances if Trent Green had been playing," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said.
Denver didn't commit any penalties for just the third time The others came in 1967 against Kansas City and 1983 against Chicago.

Duquesne players shot after dance
Man shoots five players near dormitory, at least two left in critical condition
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH Police searched for a man who shot five Duquesne basketball players on campus early Sunday after a dance at the student union, leaving at least two of them in critical condition.
Two players were walking near a dormitory and encountered a man who apparently had been disruptive at the dance, authorities said. The players tried to calm the man and walked away but were shot. Players who rushed to their aid were also shot.
The gunman and a group of people with him were not students, a university official said.
In critical condition were forward Sam Asholau of Toronto, a transfer from Lake Region State College and a cousin of former Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon; and Stuard Baldonado of Colombia, a transfer from Miami Dade College who was considered the school's best recruit.
Also hospitalized was Kojo Menshah, a guard from New York City who averaged nearly 17 points last season at. Siena College before transferring, school officials said at a news confer-
and Aaron Jackson of Hartford, Conn., a guard who is one of only two returning players from Duquesne's 3-24 team last season.
Witnesses reported seeing two guns, said university president Charles Dougherty, but he couldn't confirm whether both were fired. The second gun was seen on someone in a group with the gunman, Dougherty said.
Six to 12 shots were fired, he said. He did not know what sparked the violence.
"What motive can there be for unloading a pistol into a group of students?" Dougherty said.
James, an NBA prospect expected to be Duquesne's top player when he becomes eligible in the 2007-08 season, was shot in the foot but no bones were broken. Mensah was believed shot in the shoulder. Jackson was shot in the hand.
"The entire Duquesne University community is saddened and shocked," Dougherty said. "We're shocked because an event of this sort has never happened. It's

Stolen car hits officer as driver flees scene on Friday
BY DAVID LINHARDT
A person driving a stolen car struck a KU Public Safety officer early Friday morning during a successful attempt to flee with the stolen vehicle.
The driver of a silver 2002 Nissan Maxima hit officer Todd Carpenter with the vehicle when Carpenter tried to keep the driver from starting the car, said Maj. Chris Keary, KU Public Safety office spokesman.
The Maxima had been stolen from Wichita, Keary said. Dispatchers relayed the fact to Carpenter after he pulled the driver of the Maxima over for driving the wrong way on Ohio street.
After speaking to dispatchers, Carpenter approached the vehicle, which was not running and had been pulled over to the side of the road. As he neared the driver's side door, the driver re-started the car.
Firefighters begin clearing charred debris Monday afternoon after stabilizing the New Jersey street house structure. The house fire occurred early Sunday morning killing five of a six member family.
Carpenter reached in to try to turn off the car. The driver hit the accelerator and jerked Carpenter's arm around as the car sped north on Ohio before turning west onto 12th Street.
Keary said the suspect gave Carpenter a name but had not given the officer a driver's license before fleeing the scene.
The driver "could have pulled in somewhere and just shut down his lights," Keary said.
After the Maxina sped away, Carpenter ran back to his patrol car to pursue the vehicle. Keary said that after traveling two blocks toward campus, Carpenter lost sight of the stolen car.
Anthony Mattingly/KANSAN
The KU Public Safety office continues to search Kansas driver's license records for the name the suspect gave Carpenter, but Keary said there were no leads yet.

》 NEW JERSEY ST. FIRE
Three more bodies found
All members of the six-person family are now accounted for after a deadly house fire Sunday
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Rescue workers removed the bodies of three boys from the remains of a house at 1205 New Jersey St.
Five people, including four children, died following a fire early Sunday morning.
Glover's wife, Learlean Hooks, was the only survivor. She remains in good condition at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Mark Bradford, Lawrence Douglas County Fire Chief, said at a Monday afternoon press conference that, to his knowledge, "this is the largest loss of life" for a single-family or multi-family home in Lawrence.
Rescue efforts took a long time because the walls and ceilings of the house were unstable. Heavy equipment — including a crane — was used to sift through the rubble and debris during the recovery.
Bradford said the fire spread quickly because of the construction of the old house. Neighbors estimated the age of the house at 60 to 70 years old.
Davonte, Mario and Mariyana were Glover's grandchildren. Glover was their primary caregiver. He gained custody of his grandchildren after his daughter, Lois A. Brockman, was shot. Lois lived, but suffered debilitating injuries. Nolan was Hooks's grandson.
Relatives and neighbors also stood at the corner and waited for Bradford to speak.
"If you needed help, he was there to help," William Glover said of his older brother. "He was a great man."
Glover told stories about how his brother had changed his own life. He stopped drinking to take care of his kids. He devoted his life to his family and his faith and was a deacon at his church. He also worked at the University of Kansas as a groundskeeper for more than 20 years, William Glover said.
Glover was glad that he had a chance to see the children before they died when he ran into them at the Goodwill Store on Friday.
"They were beautiful kids," he

said.
Jack Klinknett, who lived two houses down on New Jersey street, said he thought the fire was an accident.
"They were not the kind of family nor did they have the kind of lifestyle that would have drawn any type of revenge or harm," Klinknett said.
Paul Lampert, a neighbor, helped firefighters pull Glover, Hooks and Mariyana from the home early Sunday morning.
"It makes me mad I couldn't get in there to save that baby," he said.
reterring to the amount of smoke that prevented him from entering the house. "You couldn't see your finger in front of your face."
Lampert said he used to see the older boys riding skateboards and playing in the alley behind their house.
"They were nice kids," he said, "A quiet family."
Other members of the family were present, but declined to comment. Mayor Mike Amyx, City Commissioner Sue Hack and Interim City Manager Dave Corliss were also in attendance to show support.
Bradford said efforts had been shifted to determining the cause and origin of the fire. The investigation could take days or weeks, he said.

The Lawrence freshman said he got serious about the idea in junior high, but friends and family said that he was resolute from the start.
Although most kids change their minds about their future careers, Lott never wavered from his original notion of someday becoming a puppeeter himself.
Blake Thames, Lawrence freshman, has known Lott since sixth grade. He said Lott had been making puppets and putting on shows ever since he's known him.
"He looks at things and sees how he can turn them into puppets," Thames said, citing broken umbrellas and furniture pieces as examples.
Lott's mom said he used to perform for her with stuffed animals at the foot of her bed.

CAMPUS Car burns in fire at Lewis parking lot Friday night
A mechanical fire completely destroyed an 18-year-old KU student's Ford Explorer and damaged two other cars Friday night in the Lewis Hall parking lot.
Kollin Black, Overland Park freshman, had returned from watching a movie with his girlfriend, Jessica Vaughn, when the Explorer's engine began to smoke from its hood as they pulled into the parking lot at Lewis.
KU Public Safety officers tried to control the fire, which began in the vehicle's engine. Flames quickly engulfed the rest of the Explorer and the heat heavily damaged a Pontiac Grand Am that was parked next to it and another unidentified vehicle.

Brazilian man wants to set record for popping out eyes
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Claudio Paulo Pinto is looking to break an eye-popping record. Literally.
Pinto can pop his eyeballs at least 7 millimeters (0.3 inches) out of their sockets, a national record for eye-popping, according to RankBrazil, an organization modeled after the Guinness Book of World Records that lists Brazilian records.
FRIANT, Calif. — A man who claims he hit a $737,203 jackpot on a nickel slot machine has hired an attorney after the club claimed the big win was a huge mistake.
A former driver, Pinto got a job scaring visitors in a commercial haunted house in Belo Horizonte, 210 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. But he recently was laid off and now seeks international recognition for his ability.
"I was measured by an ophthalmologist on television in January. I could pop my eyes out 7 millimeters." Pinto said by telephone Saturday. "Since then, my capacities have improved over 50 percent."
Sompasser Unkeewannulack, 31, was playing the nickel slots at the Table Mountain Casino on Friday when the "Deep Pockets" machine announced he hit the jackpot. But when Unkeewannulack began celebrating, officials at the Indian gaming club said the machine was broken and he wasn't eligible for any prize.
Miller, a one-time mail carrier in the eastern Kentucky city of Grayson, said it was simply laziness.
ASHLAND, Ky. — It was neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night that kept Charles Fred Miller from his appointed rounds.
Judge sentences lazy postal worker for hiding mail
A federal grand jury indicted Miller in July on felony counts of stealing mail, possessing stolen mail and obstructing correspondence, along with a misdemeanor charge of deserting the mail.
The 32 year-old pleaded guilty Friday to a federal charge related to undelivered mail. He told U.S. District Judge David L. Bunning that he stuffed more than 500 items of undelivered mail into garbage bags in a storage shed behind his house.
"I just got lazy." Miller said.
"They immediately said there was a malfunction," said Unkeowan-nulack, a self-described professional gambler who lives in Clovis.
Jackpot winner may not be collecting cash after all
of the machine with his cell phone, and his friend called attorney Scott Kinney.
"The CEO came out and said the symbols on the screen weren't a winning configuration, but he couldn't show what the winning symbols would look like," Kinney told The Fresno Bee.
John Mayewski, Table Mountain Casino chief executive officer, said there was no winning combination of symbols on the screen signifying a jackpot. He said the maximum prize for the particular machine was $2,500. The maximum progressive prize for the entire group of machines where Unkeowannulack was playing was $10,000 or a motorcycle.
VIENNA, Austria — The world's tallest man says he's happy with his height but used to wish he were "normal."
World's tallest man keeps record in Guinness Book
Unkeowannulack took a picture
At 7 feet,8.95 inches, Xi Shun, of Mongolia, has held the world record as the tallest living man since January 15,2005, according to London-based Guinness World Records, Ltd.
"Before I wanted to be normal, but now I like it," Xi Shun, a herdsman, said in an interview Sunday with The Associated Press on the sidelines of Vienna World Records Day. The event was open to anyone who wanted to set a world record.
Dressed in a traditional embroidered blue shirt, pants and brown sandals, Xi Shun, speaking through a translator, said he lives in a house built specifically for him.

These characters are what Lott calls tube puppets. Lott uses a variety of materials, including Styrofoam, bath towels and hot glue, to create his puppets.
PUPPETEER (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Lott remembers cutting up his stuffed animals and using sponges, socks and paper to make puppets as a child.
shows," she said.
Lott has built close to 70 pupets using a variety of materials, including poly-foam, Styrofoam, felt, fur, pool noodles, toddler's clothing, bath towels and a lot of hot glue.
Lott said when he would complete a puppet he would immediately find ways to make it better, even after he had spent up to several hundred hours and several hundred dollars creating it.
Most of his puppets are hand puppets, but Lott has also experimented with rod puppets, shadow puppets and marionettes. They now fill storage containers and line shelves along the walls in a rented room at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
Lott said each of the puppets had its own personality, like Jazz Monkey, who wears a sapphire sequined gown and has plump pink lips. She lip syncs to the song "Yes We Have No Bananas" in one of Lott's shows.
Lott has attended national and regional conventions in Oklahoma, Connecticut, Minnesota and Missouri. He was invited to attend the Sesame Street workshop last month in New York City by Martin Robinson, who plays Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street. Lott met Robinson
two years ago at a convention in Connecticut where he played a character in one of Robinson's plays.
At the workshop, Lott said he and the other puppeteers examined the seams, construction and movement of the "fancy" puppets on Sesame Street, trying to find ways to replicate the construction. He was one of 50 people who attended.
Lott said he enjoyed performing the most. He started his own company, Squiggle Puppet Productions, as a high school freshman and does shows for churches, libraries and schools. He also made the two main characters and many of the backup characters for a television show called "Lenny and Shirl", which a station in Los Angeles is trying to cast voices for. Lott pays for his supplies using the money he makes from his puppets and shows.
During the shows, he sits on a rolling stool and moves back and forth behind a box stage he constructed using PVC pipes, performing every character himself.
Lott said he used basic structure points and jokes to control the plot, but the rest was improvisation. Much of what he makes the puppets do or say is dictated by what he can pick up and how he can move around at that point in the show. He controls all the puppets and does their voices, but said it was difficult having a one-man show.
"Sometimes I get confused," he said. "I'll do a troll voice for a little girl and have to talk my way through it."
After a show, he invites his audience behind the stage to see how he operates. By doing this, Lott said he hoped to create more interest from people in the dying art form of puppeteering.

Wally, the mime character, is not considered good enough to be in serious puppet theater, so he generally does "lousy mime tricks," as Lott puts it.
Victim of deadly fire remembered by many
OBITUARY
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
The house fire on New Jersey street early Sunday morning claimed the life of a University of Kansas employee and his four grandchildren.
Charles Glover St., 66, died in his home at 1205 New Jersey St.
"He taught me how to drive my first car," William said. "He taught me how to drive a tractor, how to shine my shoes."
William Glover said his older brother got along with everybody.
Hemenway says Lawrence man was loyal, dedicated University employee
Glover was a member of the maintenance landscape staff at the university since 1985. He was the landscaper at the Outlook, the chancellor's residence on campus. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement that he and his wife talked to Glover almost every day. Glover had an "extraordinary talent for making things grow," he said.
"With care and diligence Charles Glover brought beauty to the grounds of Mount Oread and the Outlook for more than two decades," Hemenway said. He offered his condolences to Glover's family and friends.
Glover, the third oldest of nine children and the son of a sharecropper, had one brother and seven sisters. He came to Lawrence in 1965 with his brother and four of their sisters from Leland, Miss.
William remembered horsing around with his older brother when they were children. Charles was 13 years older than William.
Josephine Galloway lived down the street. Charles was married to Galloway's sister Ruth before
she died more than 30 years ago,
Galloway said.
"He was a smart, handsome little guy to me," Galloway said. "He would always approach you with a grin and a handshake."
Galloway said Charles was hard-working and stayed busy so the two didn't speak much anymore, but they would occasionally see each other, laugh and talk. Galloway didn't like to use the term in-law.

BTK withdraws appeal,
offers no explanation
WICHITA — BTK killer Dennis Rader abandoned his appeal Monday for his convictions in the deaths of 10 people.
In a brief court filing, his attorney, Carl Maughan, asked the court to dismiss the appeal.
Rader, who called himself BTK for his preferred method to "bind, torture and kill" his victims, pleaded guilty last year to killing 10 people from 1974 to 1991. His chilling courtroom confession ended a mystery that has haunted this Midwestern community for decades.
Court papers did not give any reason why the appeal was dropped, and Maughan did not immediately return a call to The Associated Press for comment.
He was sentenced in August 2005 to 10 consecutive life prison terms. Kansas had no death penalty at the time of the murders.
Prosecutors had sought restrictions on his prison activities so Rader would not be able to receive any instruments that he could use to make anything pornographic to satisfy sexual fantasies.
But in April, Rader's good behavior in prison earned him the right to watch television, listen to the radio, read and draw in his prison cell.

Spinach linked to E.coli infection
No cases reported in Kansas but local businesses affected by outbreak
BY ANNA FALTERMEIER
Don't plan to order the Spinach Veggie Wrap any time soon at Jason's Deli.
Grocery stores and restaurants nationwide pulled fresh spinach off of shelves and menus after the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning Sept. 14 about an outbreak of E. coli in the leafy vegetable.
One person has died and 109 have become ill from E. coli infection linked to this outbreak.
John Baranski, general manager of Jason's Deli, 3140 Iowa St., said he received a letter from corporate headquarters before the restaurant opened Friday telling the restaurant to throw away all of its spinach.
This leaves the restaurant with one type of lettuce instead of the usual three. Both baby spinach and a spring mix were thrown away because the spring mix had baby spinach in it. Customers will now have to settle for romaine.
Baranski said customers had been understanding. "Most everybody had heard about it," he said.
E. coli infections have been confirmed in 19 states. There have been no confirmed cases in Kansas, but stores and businesses are playing it safe and getting rid of all fresh spinach and items containing fresh spinach.
Frozen and canned spinach were not affected.
Jennie McCartt, food department
manager at Target, 3201 S. Iowa St., said there had been several recalls in the past, but she couldn't remember one this big.
According to the FDA, E. coli causes diarrhea, often with bloody stools. It can cause kidney failure in some individuals, usually the young or elderly.
McCart said Target was refunding all fresh spinach items, with or without a receipt. The store is ordering other kinds of salad to make up for those thrown out.
The states affected so far are California, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, NewMexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The FDA advises people who think they may be ill after eating fresh spinach to seek medical attention.
Natural Selection Foods recalled the following brands of spinach products: Farmer's Market, Hy-Vee and Fresh and Easy. These include both spinach and salads with spinach mixed in.

Naturalization ceremony begins involvement week
Suzy Lerdahl left Korea more than a decade ago as a single mother with no prospects. She found herself without prospects in the United States as well until a family from Fort Leavenworth took her in.
After graduating from the University of Kansas she had trouble finding a job, but her prospects may be looking up after Monday.
Barbara Ballard, Dole Institute associate director for outreach, said the ceremony was one of the most touching ceremonies she had seen.
The ceremony was part of the University's Constitution Day and Civic Engagement Week celebration. The Constitution Day event is held every year on Sept. 17 to honor the signing of the Constitution on the same date in 1787. Federally funded institutions became required to educate their students about the Constitution each year after the Consolidated Appropriations Bill passed in 2004.
Lerdahl and about 80 others became U.S. citizens at a naturalization ceremony Monday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
She said most of the people gave up their allegiances to their countries because very few other countries allowed dual citizenship with the United States. The fourth-annual naturalization ceremony was held by the United States District Court of Kansas.
"It's very moving, especially when they stand and raise their hand and take the oath," Ballard said. "The oath of the United States is unbelievable."
Naturalization takes anywhere from seven to 10 years. Applicants must be 21 years old before they can apply for citizenship and many of them are older, including some professors. Ballard said several countries were represented.
The naturalization ceremony was not the only Civic Engagement Week event held Monday.
About 20 students — along with others in the nation — simultaneously recited the Preamble to the Constitution on Wescoe Beach Monday afternoon. Kathleen McClusky-Fawcett, senior vice provost, led the recitation with Jason Boots, student body president, and Melissa Horen, student body vice president. Members of the Civic Engagement Council handed out copies of the Preamble.
Boots said that the constitution was important to everyone in the United States and that it was not something most people thought about every day.
"People probably haven't recited the Preamble since they were in grade school," he said. "It's good to get a fresh reminder of what's going on."
Football fans are invited to recite the Preamble to the Constitution before the game at 6 p.m. Saturday. The Preamble will be displayed on the Megavision at Memorial Stadium and Chancellor Robert Hemenway will lead the recitation.
Elizabeth Berghout, University carillonneur, will ring the bells in the Campanile and the Marching Jayhawks will play the national anthem afterward.
Other Civic Engagement Week events include voter registration from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. all week on Wesco Beach and a panel discussion about judicial independence at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Dole Institute.

Surveillance methods unfair to music fans
The secret is out.
If people felt like someone was watching tem at the Wakarusa Music and camping Festival last June, they were right.
At the for-day festival, several local law enforcement agencies collaborated with NS Microwave, Inc., a security and surveillance equipment company, according to an article in Government Security Nws. The Lawrence Journal-Wold reported that the California company gave a free demonstration of $250,000 in surveillance technology.
Law enforcement unwisely failed to discharge their immoral actions.
Aided by "hidden wireless cameras, petscope viewers, night vision imag enhancers and a 21-foot command trailer," law enforcement could observe 85 percent of the festival grounds, according to he GSN article. The equipment hilped law enforcement catch people dealing drugs and make 140 drug-related arrests, according to each article.
"We had no idea there would be cameras $ \sigma $ checkpoints and we certainly wouldn't be supportive of iteer," festival promoter Brett Mosiman said.
Economic gan trumped privacy at the festivl. Iflaw enforcement had postd signs stating
the presence of video surveillance, drug dealing might have decreased from the outset.
Instead, the suspected drug money seized and the fines collected will be added to the coffers of the city, which still hasn't said what it will do with the money.
Money was made at the expense of law-abiding festival-goers. Some would argue that these festival-goers had no expectation of privacy, as they were among thousands of others in public.
But unlike other public events, such as a football game, many people made the festival grounds their home for days. They temporarily resided at the festival, and law enforcement should have afforded them privacy rights similar to those they would have had in their homes.
What's most disturbing is that law enforcement probably never would have revealed its secretive moneymaking scheme had the GSN article not surfaced.
Has local law enforcement secretly installed cameras in other public places? Maybe we won't know until another article is published in an obscure trade journal.

Facebook not to blame, we are
As individuals, people can be very intelligent. As a group, people can be very stupid. Example? The creation of Facebook petitions and protests.
I find it amusing when I read that people's "privacy" is being invaded with the new "feed" sections of Facebook. I'm sorry, but you gave up that privacy when you signed up for Facebook. If you're so distraught that your ex can see what you scribed on little Jimmy's wall at 3:17 a.m. then A) Don't write on little Jimmy's wall at 3:17 a.m. or B) Turn off that function of the news feed.
The information being raked for the news feed is nothing new; it's nothing that we all haven't searched before. Every one of us has gone wall-hunting, picture-snooping and friend-searching on someone else's page before. What the news feed does is bring that very information right to you in an-organized manner
One last bit. I hope I was not the only one who read the UDK on Sept. 8th and saw the article about the Facebook changes. I noticed that someone was planning to picket the offices of Facebook? Um, hold on, the apocalypse just called me and said it's coming to town soon. I can just see those little angry protestors now, stomping around in Palo Alto, Calif., blaming Facebook for getting dumped the night before.
"Martha broke up with me because I tagged another girl's photo! Screw you, Facebook. Go poke yourself!"
much information can be a bad thing, but why is this so different from digging around on Facebook in the middle of the night, searching for any number of reasons to blow up on your ex or current one-night stand? Delete the feed if you don't want people to see it.
Chill out, kids. Help with fundraising for UNICEF if you have that much time on your hands.
So, let me get this right: having this information more accessible makes Facebook "creepier" and more "stalkerish"? I agree that too

Right to question government
Although I have some problems with the movie, it confronts a vital issue: whether it is acceptable to publicly question if part of one's government could commit crimes against its own people in order to gain power and enhance agendas.
If universities cannot have these types of discussions, then there is no place where they can happen.
I was glad to see the article by David Lindhard regarding the showing of the movie "Loose Change." It is a credit to the University of Kansas that this type of movie is shown.
Governments have enormous power, and when terrorism occurs, those running the country get more power. The government is also in charge of the investigations of the very acts that empower it, and which they are responsible for preventing'.
Such a conflict of interest requires an utmost allowance of exploring the facts.

Cell phones create climate of insecurity
The other day I was sitting in Wescoe, enjoying some of the fine carcinogenic air, when the steam whistle roared over the Hill and students began pouring out of classrooms into the halls. Almost every one of these students pulled out a cell phone and with a click, a clap or a beep brought the phones to life and pasted them to their ears. My fear that all these students had to make a phone call because of an emergency were quickly put to rest as I witnessed several conversations start and finish within the five steps it took these students to pass by where I was sitting. I'm not lying when I tell you this; some of these conversations were no more than three or four word checkups on what people were doing. None of this surprised me, of course, and I apologize if I come across as sounding indignant. In truth, this parade

KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
of students passing my Wescoe bench reinforced my belief that cellphone use has, for many, become a nervous compulsion. '
Cell phones appeal to man's most primal desire, the desire to be part of a group. Humans have always been pack animals and, as such, find great discomfort in the feeling of alienation from the pack. In Desmond Morris' documentary, The Human Animal, he explores the discomfort people experience when
alone or withdrawn from a group. Using his footage Morris is able to show how a simple act, such as eating alone at a restaurant or sitting alone on a public bench, can lead to visible signs of agitation and insecurity. In a world with cell phones, no one ever has to be alone. If you find yourself on an empty highway or amid a throng of strangers in the Wescoe Underground, you're not alone because all your friends and family are just a scroll down to the contacts screen away.
In American culture, the natural inclination for people to feel awkward when they are alone has unfortunately mutated into a feeling of inferiority. This feeling is the result of the constant stream of propaganda in our culture which touts that life is nothing but a popularity contest and the acquisition of status and fame is all that matters.
Looking at cell-phone marketing in this country, it is obvious that phone companies are doing their part to add to this notion. Every cell-phone commercial will have someone whipping out a phone to compare the quality of the phones themselves, the freedom to call as many people as they want, or the size of a person's contact list. Verizon goes so far as to show thousands of people hovering around one customer, appealing to our desires for both aggrandization and security. I think about this when I watch all the students around campus on their phones these days and can't help feeling that cell phones have become the modern technological equivalent of a toddler's security blanket.

That...um... wasn't the ADDICT.

Jayhawks sign one of two in junior-college pairing
BY ALISSA BAUER
Gearing up for the 2006-2007 season, Coach Ritch Price and his staff picked up a lengthy list of highimpact players.
Two of the original recruits were from Garden City Community College. The first is Omaha native Joe Servais. Servais signed on after two years as a catcher in Garden City. The player he caught for — right-handed pitcher Aaron Breit — also originally signed on at Kansas but voided his contract after signing with a professional team.
Price knew that Brett had been drafted by the San Diego Padres. But at that time, Price still had every reason to believe that Brett would be the anchor for the jawhawk pitching

staff in the fall.
After a player is drafted, the team that drafted him has a set period of time to woo its recruit to sign. The player can choose to sign, if not they will become re-eligible for the draft or college.
Breit accepted the Padres' offer after holding out as long as possible. He signed with San Diego just days before the Padres lost their rights to keep him.
"The way it happened was kind of shocking. We didn't expect it to take place". Price said, adding that he consulted with a Padres scout. "The scout said they didn't expect it to go to direction."
Servais was in North Carolina when he found out that the two wouldn't be teammates any longer. Although he was disappointed to part ways with his roommate of two years and it would've been easier to go to a new school with someone he knew, Servais was happy for Breit.

"The opportunity to play professional baseball is something we all dream about." Servais said. "I really wasn't mad at all."
Although Breit put Kansas at a disadvantage by leaving while scholarship money was reserved for him, Price doesn't fault him.
"We wish him the very best. There are no hard feelings at all," he said. "We think he could've made a better decision by coming here and playing a year and then going on, but he wanted to go on to play professional baseball and we wish him the best."
Price knows that competing with — and losing to — professional baseball organizations is part of coaching at a major university, especially when his club is breaking into the top 25.
"It won't be the last time that happens to us," he said.
With all three weekend rotation starter spots up for grabs, Breit was expected to be the age of the pack.
While the Jayhawks have room to sign another player, it's not likely they will be able to find one.
"Almost all of the impact guys have been signed by then," Price said.
The loss somewhat overshadows the gain the Jayhawks made by signing Servais. Although it was Breit who took the thunder as the No.1 guy to come out of the junior college circuit, it's Servais who will play a big role on this season's Jayhawk squad.
Last season, Servais started all 54 games for Garden City, nearly all behind the plate. He tallied an impressive .356 average and knocked in 36 runs. Servais' 13 stolen bases more than doubled any other teammate behind him.
It's not as if his starting role simply fell in his lap, though. After sitting the bench his first two games as a freshman, Servais was called in to pinch hit in the sixth inning of his third hit in Garden City. He knocked the first pitch he saw as a collegiate athlete out of the park.
Price said even though he was a catcher in Garden City,he might play other positions for Kansas.
"It was ridiculous." Servais said. "I can't even explain it."
"One of the reasons we were attracted to Joe was because he's so versatile." Price said. "I'm a believer in that if you're a baseball player we can put you anywhere on the field. We'll give his bat in the lineup."
Even though his Broncbuster buddy is no longer with him, Servais is pumped to get to know the guys he's playing with. Despite a quick change of roommates after Breit's departure, Servais seems ready.
"I'm still really excited to be here," Servais said.

GOLF (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
"With the conditions as tough as they were out there today, playing a course we knew really helped us out," Woodland said. "It gave us a huge advantage all day long."
During the past several years, Woodland has often stood out as the lone bright spot on the Kansas team. On Monday, he had plenty of help from his teammates.
Senior Tyler Docking posted scores of 70 and 74 to hit at even par for the day, just nine strokes behind Woodland's pace. Docking's scores leave him tied for fourth place overall heading into the final round.
Perhaps even more impressive than the success of Woodland and Docking was the play of freshman Bobby Knowles. Knowles, playing in only his second college tournament, followed a strong first-round 74 with an even-par 72 to sit tied for 12th place. Monday's second round was the best of Knowles' promising career so far at Kansas.
"We needed some strong play behind Gary Woodland, and Bobby executed," Randall said.
At the top of the leaderboard, Jordan Irwin of Houston is currently in second place overall, trailing Woodland by six strokes. In third place is Louie Bishop of UC Davis, who is seven strokes back.
Sophomore Zach Pederson fired a 1-over-73 in the second round to finish 5-over on the day, tied for 25th. Senior Barrett Martens is in a tie for 85th place after posting the Jayhawks' high score in both of Monday's rounds, shooting 77 and 85.
Playing at home gave Kansas the luxury of sending three extra players onto the course as individual competitors. The individual Jayhawks did not disappoint on Monday, as freshman Patrick Roth posted a two-round score of 146 to land in a tie for 12th place. Freshman David Cosel and sophomore Walt Koebel both broke 80 in the second round on the way to ties for 66th and 81st, respectively. The extra individual players do not count when team scores are officially tallied.
Third-round play at Alvamar resumes tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.

South Florida. In the event that he isn't ready, senior Adam Barmann is listed as the second-string quarterback.
After watching tape of Friday's loss, Mangino said he should have pulled his quarterback, despite Meter's objections. Although he couldn't see the full effect of Meier's injury during the game, Mangino noticed it more on tape.
"Watching the tape, you can tell he's not perfectly fine," Mangino said. "His elbow is down low, his range of motion is affected, and it affected at least three or four throws in the fourth quarter."
The injury obviously affected Meier's right arm. He tossed two interceptions after the injury. Both

came as Kansas was driving deep into Toledo territory. The first interception came on the same drive where Meier appeared to injure his arm.
Even with his quarterback suffering an injury, Mangino said the situation might help his team.
Sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib made his return to the starting lineup after serving a two-game suspension. Talib made several key plays including knock downs of two passes in the fourth quarter.
Football Notes:
"It should serve us well in the long run, no question about it," he said. "He's a tough, hard-nosed competitor and we respect him for that."
Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschnieder@kansan.com.
Mangino said Taili's return helped bolster his defense.
"He's a fabulous player," Mangino said. "I think that it helped us overall."

down. But it was given a first and goal because of a Toledo 15-yard penalty. What would you do? Remember, Meier had already thrown three interceptions. Run the football? It's what Kansas should have done.
The lack of logic behind those calls boggles my mind and they all have one thing in common: Each
Iowa State attempted 26 passes against Toledo during a triple-overtime victory and Western Michigan attempted only 15 in a 21-point victory. Kansas passed as many as both combined, with a freshman quarterback no less. That's just not smart scouting.
Cornish only had 20 carries in a game that lasted more than four hours. In comparison, Meier ran 19 times and threw 41 times. Considering that Cornish entered the game as the Big 12's second-leading rusher and as Kansas' best offensive player, Quartaro was foolish to let Meier try to handle that much pressure in his first road game instead of giving the load to Cornish.

a victory in the Fort Worth Bowl, Kansas has played its way onto the tube. The record for the KU football team's appearances on television was in 1996 when the team appeared in seven telecasts. The record followed the 1995 season when the Jayhawks were 10-2 and beat UCLA in the Aloha Bowl.
Since coach Mark Mangino took over the Jayhawks in 2002, they have had 12 television appearances prior to this season with five of those appearances coming last season.
terback match-up - Kerry Meier for Kansas and Dylan Meier for Kansas State - gave the game its television potential, that is, if the two teams have good records approaching the game.
The exposure from television is beneficial to the football program. Along with the assistance in recruiting potential athletes to the University, television appearances generate revenue. Kansas receives approximately $180,000 for every conference game on TV and $360,000 for nonconference games, according to Marchiony.

Want to know why Kansas lost to Toledo? Two words: play calling. Want to know what Kansas should do about it? Five words: Fire offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro. At the very least, stop letting him call the plays.
The offense has flat out stunk during four of the five seasons he has been here, especially on Friday. The offense will be hampered as long as Quartaro is in control.
Think about every close game Kansas has lost recently. Almost all the blame could go to the offense. But Kansas' loss to mediocre Toledo is inexcusable. Toledo had 28 points from turnovers, plus another two from a safety.
I don't even care who replaces Quartaro. Anyone with a shred of football sense could have called better plays for Kansas against Toledo. Decide for yourself whether Quartaro made the right calls:
Kansas was driving — down by one late in the fourth quarter — and in kicker Scott Webb's range. It was third and two. What would you do? Hand the ball off to Jon Cornish, who averages 5.9 yards per carry? Even if he doesn't get the first down, Kansas gets to attempt a field goal. That sounds safe, at least. But Quartaro decided that quarterback Kerry Meier should throw short of the first down and to the wide side of the field to tight end Derrick Fine, who Meier stared down for a good five seconds before he threw. This let the defense know exactly what he was planning to do: a big mistake. The result was an interception and a Toledo touchdown.
> Kansas had just held Toledo without a point in the first overtime. It was first down with 25 yards to the end zone. All Kansas needed was a field goal to win the game. What would you do? Line up in the I-formation, run it straight up the middle three times and kick a field goal for the win? Sure! It worked last year against Iowa State. But Quartaro decided to start out of the shotgun formation, which is designed for passing, and run a draw. A draw? Seriously? Toledo had to have known Kansas would run the ball. Who was Quartaro trying to fool? Maybe it was Cornish, because he didn't know who was supposed to take the ball. The result: a botched hand-off from Meier to Cornish — both of whom were in an awkward position to begin with — and an unnecessary second overtime.

'HAWKS PLAY FOR TV TIME
Victories translate to more appearances on national networks
BY C.J. MOORE
The Kansas football team's slogan this year is "Where will you be on game day?"
Fans might be able to answer "watching the game from the couch or a sports bar," because the Jayhawks could see more time on television this season.
Fox Sports Net selected the Kansas at Nebraska game, scheduled for Sept. 30, to be shown on its network at 6 p.m., the KU Athletics Department announced Monday. The game will mark the thirdstraight week the Jayhawks are on
television
If the jayhawks are able to maintain a winning record, FSN or ABC could choose to put one or more of the jayhawks other six games on TV. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony sees the KU football team as a marketable product for the networks.
With the Nebraska game now slated for television, it brings the number of KU football telecasts scheduled for this season to four.
"I think that networks see a lot of potentia in us," Marchiony said. "Especially coming off the year we had last year."
The two networks have contracts with the Big 12 Conference. The networks choose which games to televise 12 days in advance, ABC selects its one Big 12 game per week first and then FSN picks two other games to televise. ABC has the option three times per year to select a game six days in advance, Big 12 Associate Commissioner Tim Allen said.
"Primarily, teams play their way on or play their way off of television," Allen said.

Kansas ends day on top at home tourney
BY ASHER FUSCO
As the players put the finishing touches on a long day of golf at the Alvamar Golf Club, Kansas coach Ross Randall was the picture of relaxation.
Randall shared laughs and smiles with players and staff while they waited for the scores to be posted. After the Kansas men's golf team's performance on Monday, Randall had every reason to feel content.
After two rounds of play at the Kansas Invitational, Kansas leads the field with a total score of 574. Big 12 teams Iowa State and Nebraska stand in second and third places with scores of 584 and 589, respectively. While Nebraska is still within striking distance going into the final round tomcrow, Kansas' 10-stroke lead is substantial.
"We played hard and gave a good effort." Randall said. "But with teams like Nebraska and Iowa State behind you, you can never play well enough."
The team is familiar with the Alvamar Golf Club course, which gave the Jayhawks an advantage against the competition on the chilly and often windy first day of play. Senior Gary Woodland, who finished the day in first place overall with scores of 67

Meier hurts arm while playing in Friday's game
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Mark Hampton saw the sign. His quarterback's throws were off. The strong passes that Kerry Meier tossed earlier in Friday's game at Toledo were gone. In their place, Meier's passes were often short of their intended receivers.
They were short for a good reason, though.
Mangino revealed Monday that Meier suffered an undisclosed injury to his throwing arm. It appeared Meier injured his right arm early in the fourth quarter when he was tackled after running with the football and a Toledo player rolled over his body, driving his arm into the turf.
Mangino attempted to pull Meier from the game, but the quarterback refused.
"He was emphatic and shouted to me, 'I'm fine,'" Mangino said during Monday's Big 12 Football Coaches' Teleconference.
Meier was held out of Sunday's practice, but was expected to practice Monday. He is expected to start Saturday night in Kansas nonconference finale against

Everclear to perform in Lawrence Tickets on sale for Sept.28 alternative rock show
BY BEN SMITH
Of the 8,000 miles Art Alexakis, lead singer of the alternative rock band Everclear, will be traveling this month. Lawrence is one of the stops he is looking forward to the most.
"It's one of my favorite places in the world," Alexakis, said. "Lawrence embraced Everclear before anyone else. Plus it's just a hop, skip and jump from good barbecue."
Everclear will be performing at the Granada Theatre, 1020 Massachusetts St., Sept. 28, as part of the tour promoting its album "Welcome to the Drama Club," released Sept. 12.
Alexakis, 44, said he was excited to be visiting Lawrence again
Alexakis said that as he's grown older his interests on tour have become less about the girls and more about the food. He said that he enjoyed touring college towns even though at times he would rather be home spending time with his family.

City, University explore merger
Funding and management key factors in joint bus system
BY MARK VIERTHALER
KU on Wheels and the Lawrence Transit System may be able to merge the two systems if the issues of governance and funding can be resolved.
Discussions continued Tuesday regarding the possible coordination of the two bus lines.
After meeting on Monday to give a general layout of potential problems and advantages of integrating the two systems, project designers, city officials and school delegates brought their presentation to the University.
Dan Boyle, lead consultant on the project, said the biggest hurdle they are going to have to fight is a natural distrust between the University and the city.
The city and the University are sometimes at odds with each others ideas, Boyle said. "Both sides seem to ask 'Are they just looking for our money? What are we going to get in return?'"
The study has determined that merging the two systems is plausible, but student representatives have raised concerns with where governance of an integrated system would fall.
Benjamin Driks, Prairie Village sophomore, said one of his largest concerns is where the money is going to come from to fund the merger.
"Any type of reform right now would be prohibited by the current funds," he said. "Nothing can get achieved unless there's some huge change on either side."
Driks, a representative from Delta Force, said he would return his notes to his superiors and they would then pursue the funding issue further.
Dan Boyle and Associates, Inc. did a study of other Big 12 schools that had integrated their own university's bus system with city transit.
Regarding governance, the study revealed the University of Texas gave the final say in transit options to students. Iowa State had an equal number of representatives from the city, students and the university on a board.
For funding, the University of Colorado has used student fees to fund unlimited access programs to both campus and city service.
Boyle said these are all viable options to consider.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit for the University, said one of the biggest issues would be pleasing both sides of the potential integration.
"it's going to take a lot of work to find the comfort level of all the stake holders," Kaiser said. "We're going to have to find something that everyone can live with."
He said the issues of governance and funding are going to be the two hot-button issues as the various options are considered.
merger options
These five alternatives have been presented as possible solutions on how to merge the two systems:
Separate service, separate funding, limited service coordination
Separate systems, separate funding, coordinated service.
One system, separate funding sources, contracted services
One system, separate funding sources, one representative policy board
Boyle said the final report is expected to be finished in November.

Student Senate passed a resolution last Wednesday pledging $30,000 to develop-a grey water irrigation system at the University of Kansas.
Grey water to save money System will recycle rainwater from rooftops for irrigation

"This was something that wasn't being worked on that I thought we actually had a chance of making a difference in," Red Corn said. Red Corn lost the election, but said he wanted to set a precedent on campus to take environmental issues further.
"By implementing more sustainable development methods on campus we are, one, saving money and, two, thinking long term," Red Corn said.

with a grey water system in place the University should save money on both irrigation costs and storm water fees. He was unsure of the exact amount of water that would be conserved because the project had not been finalized.

Kevin Kane, graduate student and former KU football player, has traded a life spent at Memorial Stadium for a life spent at Allen Fieldhouse. No, he is not playing KU basketball; he is giving tours and taking care of the Booth Family Hall of Athletics. Kane took the job when Lew Perkins, Director of Athletics, offered it to him so he could continue his studies at the University.
Kane said Perkins offered him a job for after he graduates in Spring 2006.
"I thought I would stick around a little longer." Kane said.
Kane, as well as giving tours, updates all of the displays and is currently updating a new system in the Hall that allows fans to access information on any player that attended KU. The job allows Kane to learn more about the history of
KU athletics.
"I grew up a Nebraska fan because of my dad," Kane said. "It is fun to be able to learn about all the athletics before I got here."
Kane is doing his graduate work in Strategic Communications, but he wants to work in college athletics administration or be a coach. This job is a stepping stone to living his dream.
Kane works surrounded by KU sports legends and memorabilia. He also can see himself on the football display. His favorite part is being able to talk to the athletes and coaches that pass through occasionally.
"Its great when you get to talk with Max Falkenstein when he passes through." Kane said.

NEW JERSEY ST.FIRE
The Lawrence City Commission received the official data Tuesday from Sunday morning's fatal fire on New Jersey Street.
Mark Bradford, Lawrence fire and medical chief, said it took over 40 hours of work to put out the fire, make the dwelling safe for investigation and retrieve the bodies of those trapped inside. Both on-duty and off-duty personnel had been called in to address the emergency.
Bradford said the investigation should be completed within seven to 14 days.
Fire and medical also received help from out of town emergency personnel including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Topeka fire department's K-9 unit. The ATF was called in for extra manpower and the K-9 unit was used to search for accelerators, Bradford said.
Bradford said the family has received an outpouring of support from the community.
City Commissioner David Schauner said he wanted the city to be able to use the tragedy as way to spread awareness about the need for fire prevention measures in the home.

They said she had only a few more pounds to lose and her organs would start shutting down. My secretary came to one of our meetings where we laud our hands on her to transfer the power of God to her. We told her mother's body to be healed in the name &

Center opening delayed
1800 AVE. 20TH ST.
WASHINGTON, D.C. 19873
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
A construction worker from BA Green Construction Co. works on the Crawford Community Center, 1346 Louisiana St., Monday. The center will serve as a multi-purpose building for scholarship hall residents and will include a park, apartment and office.
Additional renovations postpone scholarship hall facility
Scholarship hall residents will have to continue patiently awaiting the opening of the Wilma "Willee" Crawford Community Center, 1346 Louisiana St.
The center was scheduled to open this fall. After a series of delays, the center's opening will be postponed until the spring semester. The center will serve as a multi-use facility for scholarship hall residents. The centralized location will allow the community to gather for both meetings and social activities.
The building was donated by Reginald and Juanita Strait who lived near the scholarships halls. The couple befriended many students during the past several decades by providing home-cooked meals and piano lessons.
"She became like a grandma to a lot of the students," Avila said. "We
have adults now that say they used to go there when they were in college decades ago."
Construction crews intended on replacing only portions of the house's foundation, but later determined the building would need an entirely new one, said Diana Robertson, interim director of student housing.
Robinson said that because the new foundation took more time and money to fix, they had to reassess financing. This included a combination of private donations and state money.
"It had to go through some red-tane." Robertson said.
While inside renovations continue with electrical and sheetrock construction, the landscape surrounding the center will progress in the next few weeks as well. Vince Avila, associate director of housing maintenance, has overseen the construction of the center's park, Strait Park.
"It's going to look real sharp," Avila said. "They've tried to keep everything, especially the outside, looking just like the original house."
Robertson said that the new park will include an outdoor fountain and patio with a sitting area, that will accommodate residents' needs for barbecues and other outdoor functions.
The center will also house an upstairs apartment and office for the complex director of the scholarship halls, something Robertson is excited to have.
"We've got a complex director living in every complex except for there," Robertson said. "We really wanted to make that happen."

Commission reviews laws
LAWRENCE
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The city commission will consider an expansion of city concealed weapon laws after receiving a review of 17 city codes and possible problems.
City staff attorney Scott Miller presented the study after David Corliss, interim city manager, asked him to find codes that may cause the city to be at odds with the state. The study included the state of the current law and Miller's suggested proposals.
The commission approved to move the study to the consent agenda, which will pass the law changes barring any public comment on the subject.
"There have been times when Lawrence city ordinance has been at odds with state laws," Miller said. "This list is an attempt to be proactive and stop any more laws from coming into contradiction with
One law under review was the city's concealed weapon ordinance
each other."
Currently, only law enforcement officers and deputies are allowed to carry concealed weapons within Lawrence city limits.
Under the altered law, private detectives licensed to carry concealed weapons, members of the armed forces while engaged in duties and people authorized under the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act would be allowed to carry weapons.
This would put Lawrence on par with the Kansas law regarding concealed weapons.
To be approved for a concealed weapon permit, a person must submit to a background check and have no previous history of mental illness.
Discharging of firearms in city limits is currently only allowed by national guardsmen and law
enforcement officers. Miller suggested allowing exceptions for those lawfully defending his or her person, property or dwelling.
Miller suggested the city code defining window peeping should be improved. Currently, the law states anyone illegally on property with the intent to look into any sort of portal into the home is in violation of the law. The law does not clearly define "loitering" or "wrongfully observing," leaving loopholes when prosecution comes around.
City Commissioner Dennis "Boog" Highberger suggested a review of the city's dumpster diving ordinance. He said he didn't feel the current law was clear enough.

Skateboarders argue for policy revision
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Long boarders and skateboards alike can raise their voices in hope after efforts to allow skateboarders on campus have taken another step in the right direction.
Casey Millstein, Baldwin senior, came before the Lawrence City Commission on Tuesday to argue the legalization of boarding on campus after Student Senate told her to talk to the city. City commissioner Sue Hack, after receiving an e-mail from Millstein, forwarded the argument to the Traffic Safety Commission. It is now under review.
"I'd like to take this all the way until someone says 'yes,'" Millstein said.
that students on campus use their boards for transportation, not for public disturbances.
Millstein began her crusade to legalize long boarding on campus earlier this month after receiving numerous tickets. She aruges
Campus has banned boarding for the past 12 years. Areas of campus that are forbidden from board traffic include West Campus Road to 13th Street and 1,000 feet on either side of Jayhawk Boulevard.
Originally arguing only for long boarders, Millstein and her friends realized it was too much trouble to have people differentiate between long boards and skateboards.
Commissioners told Millstein that although the city doesn't have jurisdiction over campus ordinances, they are the ones who enforce the codes. Therefore, the city can make recommendations to the University.
David Corliss, interim city manager, said after the Traffic Safety Commission had time to review the issue of boarding on sidewalks.
they would approach the University for a joint discussion on the proper course of action.
Millstein presented the commission with the ordinances from other colleges including Kansas State University and Fort Hays State University. Both colleges allow boarding on campus, provided the users give right-of-way to foot traffic and do not take their boards airborn.
"We've actually received national support for this cause," Millstein said.
Mayor Mike Amyx said he felt it was an important subject that needed to be addressed. The commission has yet to set a date for review.

Suicide policy ambiguous; friends crucial in prevention
BY MATT ELDER
As many as 1,100 college students are predicted to commit suicide this year alone, according to the Jed Foundation.
The foundation, which aims to prevent college student suicides, lists suicide as the second-leading cause of death among college students.
Because of this statistic, the University of Kansas Department of Student Housing is focusing on suicide prevention for its residents.
Several college campuses across the country have been fighting legal battles that stemmed from suicide attempts and their violation of housing policies. Some university's policies state that students must be evicted after showing suicidal tendencies.
She said that suicidal indications or attempts did not result in an automatic housing contract cancellation or expulsion from the University, unlike many other college campuses.
"You wouldn't want someone not seeking help because of a potential consequence."
Indications of suicide include roommates or friends noticing written or verbal evidence, like notes or a diary.
"I wouldn't say we have a suicide policy," Diana Robertson, interim director of student housing, said. "But we do have a suicide-indication policy because it's something we want to address as a problematic behavior."
Texas A&M University is one of the few Big 12 schools whose housing department looks at suicide from a "student welfare policy."
DIANA ROBERTSON Interim director of student housing
Robertson said that every case regarding a suicide attempt or indication was handled individually.
Students who have attempted or had suicidal tendencies must be cleared by the student counseling center before they are allowed to return to student housing.
"We feel that they obviously
are the experts." Kathy Collins, associate director of residence life at Texas A&M, said. "We work with them to determine if students will return to the campus population."
While substantial suicidal indications or attempts at George Washington University or Hunter College in New York have left college students removed from their student housing or even expelled, KU's policy aims at using prevention as a safeguard instead.
"Our goal is to get help for students for that very reason," Robertson said. "You wouldn't want someone not seeking help because of a potential consequence."
Robertson is aware of the effects of a student with suicidal tendencies living in a community environment,
such as student housing. She does acknowledge the well-being of the community, but most of the time it's a matter of an individual who needs help and treatment in student suicidal cases.
The housing department works closely with Counseling and Psychological Services, the Public Safety Office and other outside resources to provide help for students.
"We first do a risk assessment," said Pam Botts, interim CAPS director. "Depending on results we may choose to continue treating them here in our office or we may refer them for more comprehensive services."
Botts said CAPS worked closely with the housing department because of its direct contact with the large student population in each of the residence halls.
Robertson didn't recall a suicide in her time with the University, but said there have been instances where the housing department has been called upon to help a student.
"We can't count it, but if I was going to give a roundabout, a handful or few times a year we're working with someone whom we're actually concerned about their safety," she said.
Robertson said students who have suicidal thoughts and need assistance should contact CAPS at 864-2277.

CHILDCARE
Hilltop possibly to expand Added space would shorten day care's long waiting list
BY DANNY LUPPINO
KU students, faculty and staff with children could have expanded day care options on campus if the Kansas Board of Regents votes today to expand the Hiltop Child Development Center.
Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop, said the proposed expansion would add six classrooms and create space for 100 additional children. She said the addition was necessary to provide some relief for a waiting list that has expanded in recent years.
Though the proposed expansion would still leave a substantial waiting list, Pisani said it would make the center as big as it could possibly get.
"Now we have almost 350 kids on the waiting list, and we're not able to meet the University's needs," Pisani said.
Pisani said she thought the Board of Regents would approve the proposal because the University had documented a need for an expansion and outlined a funding plan.
"I've not been led to believe it won't be voted for" Pisani said.
She also said she thought parents would welcome the opportunity for more children to attend day care at the center.
Ethan Schmidt, graduate teaching assistant in history, has two children at Hilltop, one in his fourth year. He said he was extremely satisfied with the experience his children have had.
Schmidt said he thought the proposed expansion would allow more parents to feel as satisfied as he does.
"I wouldn't have them anywhere else," Schmidt said. "I think our children will have a real head start when they go to school."
"I think it's great because it's very hard to get into." Schmidt said. "The more kids that can have the Hilltop experience, I think, the better."

Parents kidnap pregnant daughter
BY KATHARINE WEBSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALEM, N.H. — A Maine couple accused of tying up their 19-year-old daughter, throwing her in their car and driving her out of state to get an abortion was upset because the baby's father is black, a Maine sheriff said Tuesday.
Katelyn Kampf, who is white, told Cumberland County Sheriff Mark Dion that her mother "was pretty irate at the fact that the child's father was black, and she had made a number of disparaging remarks about that," he said.
If convicted of kidnapping, the Kampfs face 7 1/2 to 15 years in prison. Dion said he expects to bring charges in Maine also, after investigators consult with the district attorney Wednesday.
The Kampfs were apparently
taking their daughter to New York to try to force her to get an abortion there, police said.
The parents were arraigned Monday on kidnapping charges. The judge set ball at $100,000 each and ordered the Kamps to have no contact with their daughter.
Defense attorney Mark Sisti said Tuesday that a sworn statement by Salem police who interviewed both Katelyn Kampf and her parents said nothing about the father's race.
Katelyn Kampf escaped Friday at a Salem shopping center and called police, who arrested her parents, Nicholas Kampf, 54, and Lola, 53, both real estate developers from North Yarmouth, Maine.
mention in the sworn affidavit to the court about race being a factor in any way, shape or form."
"This whole race-card thing is ridiculous and objectionable," said Sisti, who represented both of the Kampfs for their arraignment Monday, but is now representing only Lola Kampf. "There wasn't any
Sisti also maintained there was no evidence a kidnapping had taken place in New Hampshire. The sworn affidavit said Katelyn described talking cordially with her parents during the trip from Maine.
But Salem Police prosecutor Ryan McFarland said in court Monday the Kampfs had their passports, rope, a rifle and ammunition in the car. He argued they posed a danger if released and could flee the country.
Dion said Katalyn Kampf told him her parents got upset when she called them Thursday night and told them she was pregnant. The Kampfs had met her boyfriend before and been friendly, but the pregnancy apparently "changed the dynamic," he said.

U.S. troops: Children strike convoys
Shiite militias accused of encouraging young gangs' attacks against soldiers
BY ANTONIO CASTANEDA ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Shiite militias are encouraging children — some as young as 6 or 7 — to hurt stones and gasoline bombs at U.S. convoys, hoping to lure American troops into ambushes or provoke them into shooting back, U.S. soldiers say.
Gangs of up to 100 children assemble in Sadr City, stronghold of radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia, and in nearby neighborhoods, U.S. officers said in interviews this week.
American soldiers have seen young men, their faces covered by bandanas, talking with the children before the rock-throwing attacks begin — and sometimes handing out slingshotso the volleys will be more accurate, the troops said.
"It's like a militia operation. They'll mass rocks on the last or second-to-last vehicle" in a U.S. patrol, said Capt. Chris L'Heureux, of Woonosocks RDI. "There's
no doubt in my mind that they're utilizing these kids in a deliberate, thought-out way."
Al-Sadr's followers insist they are not organizing attacks by children.
"Such behavior by Iraqi children is spontaneous and the natural reaction from innocent children who are witnessing horrible deeds committed by the occupation forces in Iraq," Ali al-Yassiri, an aide to al-Sadr, told The Associated Press.
Militants have used children before. Marines in the volatile city of Ramadi say Sunni Arab insurgents often send children to check out U.S. defenses or warn of approaching patrols. And Israeli troops have long faced stone-throwing Palestinian kids.
But the increased use of children in the high-profile Baghdad battle poses a new challenge to American troops seeking to curb Iraqi militias. The tactic also shows the lengths to which militants will go in confronting U.S. troops in a high-stakes fight for control of the capital.
The incidents have seemed to increase since U.S. soldiers moved
their security crackdown into Shitte neighborhoods surrounding eastern Baghdad's Dadr City.
The U.S. crackdown in the capital is aimed at curbing the power of the Mahdi Army and other sectarian militias.
At one checkpoint, soldiers said hundreds of rocks rained down on their vehicles as they sealed off a neighborhood during a house-to-house search for weapons and militants.
U. S. officers believe the militias are trying to provoke American soldiers into firing on the children or chasing the soldiers into areas where snipers lie in wait.
"Right now the reason were not (pursuing) is because it's a trap." 1st Lt. Bernard Gardner, 25, of Kninear, Wyo., said as a group of children pelted his Stryker armored vehicle with rocks. "There's probably one or two snipers out there waiting for us to get in range."
The soldiers are also leery of firing even warning shots in return — worried that could inflame sectarian passions and turn Shite civilians against the Americans. Par
of the offensive's aim is to bolster public confidence in coalition and Iraqi forces.
"If we point a gun at a kid and they take a photo of it, they'll make a zillion flyers out of it," Gardner said. "That's why we have to be so delicate with the rock throwers."
He said just one bullet fired near a group of children would be "like the shot he heard 'round the world.'"
Most children, even in traditionally hostile areas, typically approach U.S. troops to ask for water or candy, not to ambush them.
Even as unruly gangs roamed the areas near Sadr City on one recent day, soldiers kept playing with curious children on tamer blocks nearby.
Army intelligence officers say they predicted before the offensive began this summer that militants in Baghdad would make use of children.
As expected, the harassment started with small groups of youngsters throwing stones, then escalated into bigger groups of children hurling larger rocks and even pieces of cement blocks.

The abductor has been profiled as someone who had a child die recently or as someone who could not have children, told people she was pregnant and needed to steal a child so her lie would not be found out.

P-Diddy speaks at school
Our readers are hereby informed that all jobs and housing advertised in this newspaper are available on an equal opportunity basis.
PHILADELPHIA — The principal at Benjamin Franklin High School wanted a speaker who would get students' attention. He succeeded.
The 36-year-old founder of Bad Boy Records looked the part in sunglasses and flashy jewelry. He called some students on stage and talked to them one on one about their goals. His advice: work hard and stay in school.
Some 750 students erupted in cheers when Sean "Diddy" Combs walked out on stage.
This is a really important time for you all right now," Combs said. "This is the time that is going to dictate your future."
"Take responsibility for your future. No excuses!" Combs said.
The school district also plans to use Diddy's message in an antitrueancy campaign, said Cecilia
Cummings, senior vice president for communications and community relations.
"We wanted someone whom they would sit down and listen to, someone who comes from the same type of background," said Principal Christopher Johnson. "To have a superstar come in to talk is extremely powerful."
Combs' new album, "Press Play",
is scheduled for release next month.
AWARD SHOWS
Chili Peppers lead nominees
COPENHAGEN, Denmark
— The Red Hot Chili Peppers were nominated in four categories, including best album, for the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards, to be hosted by Justin Timberlake on Nov. 2.
Madonna, Shakira, Nelly Furtado,
Christina Agulera, Kanye West and
Muse had three nominations each,
the music network said Tuesday.
Nominations in the best album category included the Red Hot Chili Peppers for "Stadium Arcadium," Madonna for "Confessions on a
Dance floor" and Nelly Furtado for "Loose"
MTV's Europe Music Awards are held in a different city every year. The winners are selected by fans across Europe.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers also were nominated in the best rock and best group categories. Madonna and Shakira were nominated in the best pop category.
This year's show will be split between the Bella Center convention hall and Copenhagen's City Hall Square "to bring more people
ROSE BOWL
to it." MTV Europe's Simon Guild told a news conference.
Guild said the show will be broadcast to 17 countries with a potential 1.4 billion viewers.
The convention hall on the city outskirts would have 3,000 people, while some 10,000 were expected at the outdoor venue on Copenhagen's main square.
Assisting Timberlake with his hosting duties will be Furtado and Muse.
"We will bring the biggest global superstars to town," Guild said.
Grand marshal named for'07 parade
PASADENA, Calif. — The Force will be with the Rose Parade next year. Perhaps that will keep the rain away this time.
"Star Wars" creator George Lucas was named Tuesday as grand marshal of the 18th annual Tournament of Roses.
ters such as a roaring Chewbacca and a diminutive Ewok.
To the soaring strains of the "Star Wars" theme, Lucas arrived at the Tournament of Roses headquarters to accept the honor. On hand to greet him were "Star Wars" charac-
"It's always had a very special place in my heart and now it's an amazing thought that I'm going to be riding that funny old car at the very end of the parade," the 62-year-old director said.
The theme for the parade is "Our Good Nature."
"George Lucas has brought excitement and entertainment to
the world for 34 years. His creativity and talent has opened up new worlds for all of us to imagine, and has shown us how good nature can prevail," said Tournament of Roses President Paul L. Holman.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was grand marshal of the 2006 parade. That event was pounded by heavy rain for the first time in more than a half-century.

Protestors must work to define
It was difficult not to notice the peace protest marching north on Massachusetts Street this past Saturday. The marchers were a motley crew of aging activists, dedicated students in studiously drab clothing and a few dazed wanderers who seemed to have accidentally crossed the march's path. But judging by their fervor and ceaseless chants, it was clear that this was a group of people that stood for something.
What was not as clear was exactly what they stood for. Signs carried by the marchers proclaimed support for everything from Iraqi peasants to hemp farmers. The pseudo-Guevarian chant leader used his megaphone to rally support not only for the antiwar movement, but also for the bizarre calls of "Free South Dakota" and "Free South Side Chicago," presumably as a reaction to their respective abortion restrictions and substandard big box store wages. Sadly, the march seemed to have devolved into a cafeteria-style protest that encompassed every piece of token liberal angst.
There was a time not so long ago when peace protests were of vital importance to the nation. Many of our parents can tell us about their memories of antiwar protests in the Vietnam era, when a massive gathering of students committed to a cause actually helped influence and shape national policy. It is hard not to be stirred when you look back on pictures or video of these protests, which attracted tens of thousands of young idealists who firmly believed they could change the world. Transcripts of conversations within the Johnson and Nixon White Houses reveal that the presidents were, though infuriated, still impressed with the dedication of the protestors.
Today's marches possess no such primal excitement. We saw perhaps the last gasp of that feeling in the pre-Iraq invasion protests in New York and other large cities. What we are left with today is a diverse assembly of equally diverse interests, all rallying around the shared knowledge that their causes have been demeaned and trivialized by the ruling classes. These protestors are then forced to band together and create a bizarre amalgam of myriad causes.
A catchall protest march that joins every politically liberal cause is becoming worthless, a mere spectacle of naivete that makes it easier to marginalize all of those singular causes. The few remaining idealists need to ensure that they do not become caricatures of themselves. A more cohesive and tie dye-free explanation of their positions might be a good start.

COMMENTARY
How to walk the walk (of shame)
I don't like knowing that I just hooked up with chewbacca, but I hate it when everyone watching me walk home after a late night also knows I just hooked up with chewbacca.
The walk of shame is a timeless passage, dating back to the inventions of sex and walking. Whether it's walking back to your car, house or dorm, the walk of shame is an awkward experience for everyone.
Today, there are two types of the walk of shame. The first really isn't shameful. When you're walking back to your place after a night with the hottest guy or girl you'll ever be with, your walk is something out of a Bee Gees video. With air kisses, winks and pistol points to the onlookers, you strut home to the sound of whatever song screams, "I rock."
The other walk of shame is very different. You hooked up with someone very regrettable. Their teeth were so bad, if they bit metal, they could make barbed wire.
When you make that walk of shame, it feels like everyone is

watching you. Your walk feels like it's in slow motion as everyone secretly judges you. All the while Nickelback's "Photograph" plays in the back of your mind. This situation is no good and I have never met a person that said that song is any good, so it's fitting.
While you walk home and everyone stares, it is safe to assume that people will ask you why you look the way you do. Why is your hair so matted? What is that smell? Where are your pants?
When people start asking where you ended up last night, it's time to decide whether to fess up to the icky truth, or to just lie. I'd lie.
Considering your condition, the lie options are limited.
Women, the easiest lie for you is obvious, though: Naked pillow fight.
seriously women, if you looked like hell and told me it was because of a naked pillow fight tournament the night before, not only would I believe you, I'd thank you.
Men, it's typically harder for us to lie in this situation. The reason is that regardless of the "quality," we still always have a little sparkle in our eye and that dumb look on our face that says, "Yeah, I totally did."
Usually men can make the boldest lies and not show it on their faces, similar to that World Series of Poker commercial where the guy "auditions" to play in the tournament. Pull it back.
The only lie that works in this case is a dog attack. The perk to this lie is you can use many of the same descriptions from your ugly sex as you can in your dog attack story.
"It was terrible, unlike anything I have ever experienced. At first I thought the dog was nice, even though it was mangy. But then it
started scratching and biting me. When I tried to yell for help, it smothered me with a pillow ... I mean paw. So, I let the dog continue to attack me until it got tired and passed out."
Just insert dog attack for fugly lovin' and you can actually describe what happened to you last night.
On second thought, that lie also works for women, maybe even better than it does for men. So, maybe men are just screwed.
The walk of shame is a very delicate situation. Sometimes the walk of shame turns into the run of shame. The hookup was so scary that running from it as fast as you can is all you can think of. Plus it just jumped in the shower and you have a four-minute window to escape.
So, when everyone can tell that you settled the night before (three times) and you're not quite willing to confess, my advice is a clever lie. Pillow fights and dog attacks, those are convincing.

Free speech is for all
I recently received a bulletin to sign a petition to have the group "Fuck the Troops" removed from myspace.com. Let me now state that I find this group narrow-minded,
ing some of the comments posted in the petition to ban the group, numerous people made statements that alluded to the idea that the troops fighting in Iraq were there preserving our freedom of speech isn't one of those they are protecting? Or are they only protecting the freedoms that are most comfortable to justify and paint with nationalism?
If you think someone is grossly mistaken on an issue and is expressing hated and ignorance, why not explore the reasons?
That being said, I believe they have every right to exist. I thought it was interesting that while read-

FROM THE EDITOR
Free for All to be edited more closely
PATRICK E. PARKER
BY JONATHAN KEALING
KANSAN EDITOR
EDITOR@KANSAN.COM
I messed up.
Please use it my job every day to scour the Opinion page for any possible inappropriate comment or commentary. You'd be amazed how often I find it.
On Monday, I missed something And our Opinion editors missed something. And it's bothering me that we missed it.
It was in the Free for All - the source of most inappropriate comments - and whether intentionally or not, seriously mistreated a family that is enduring more anguish than virtually all of us could ever imagine.
Weve skirted the line of good journalism before with Free for All, often veering across the line.
I won't repeat the comment but to say it was a comment about a dead baby. In light of the tragic and deadly fire on New Jersey Street, that comment was wholly inappropriate. I can't imagine what would drive someone to phone that comment in, but I'm even more disappointed in our newspaper for failing to catch the egregious violation of good taste and good journalism.
At the same time, though, I'm asking you all who call the Free for All to exercise good taste and good judgment. Yes, it's our job to review every word that is printed in the Kansan - and it's a duty we enthusiastically undertake - but as a community of adults in a learning environment, I challenge you to do the right thing and think before you speak.
Taking Free for All out of the paper has crossed my mind. But I'm not going to take that step — yet. The reason why you see no Free for All today is because of the new procedures I've put in place to help avoid any occurrence like this from happening again. Free for All will now be reviewed by at least four sets of eyes before it is published, with mine being the last.
Use Free for All as it's intended.
Tell jokes. Tell stories. State opinions. Laugh with friends. Vent your frustration. Don't say something that you'd be embarrassed to have your mom see with your name on it.
The thought may seem funny when it pops into your head, but reality is it should be funny to most people who didn't hear the comment. And it certainly shouldn't offend. This staff will do everything in its power to keep Free for All, appropriate, but we ask you to take a part in that as well.
We at The Kansan apologize for letting such an egregiously inappropriate comment into the paper. No words can make the pain the family is already feeling go away, and we know that. We just want the family – and the community – to know that we're sorry if we've added anything to the pain.

Hash's 'Porch kids' continue tradition
BY JOSH LANDAU
Almost every night people gather in front of Hashinger Hall, Sunday night was no exception. As a steady stream of students returned to the dorms with laundry, the students who refer to themselves as "porch kids" emerge onto the steps of Hash. The night was filled with music, smoking, swing dancing and to song of singing.
5 p.m. Students sing along to: "A Whole New World" — Aladdin
The night begins at nine. Conversation focuses on plans for the evening. The porch is full of people, many of them from other residence halls. Talan Abad, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, is one of them. Though he lives in McColliam, he spends at least four hours every day outside of Hash. For the most part he is singing.
10 p.m. Students sing Along to: "No day but today" — Kent
Growing tired of their room, Kristina Pollard, and Liz Keeen, Dallas freshmen, come out to the porch to continue their acts and crafts time. Pollard is making a blanket out of scrapes of cloth and Keenor is making a necklace. The two playfully banter as they work on their projects. Meanwhile, Stacy Lambell, Kansas City freshman, and Haley Yankey, Wichita freshman, leave the dorm with long poles in hand. Striding over to the open space next to the porch, they begin in twirl the poles over and over. The two like to twirl the poles to relax and get some recreation. They find the porch an ideal place to practice their hobby.
"Hash is the only dorm with a pouch, so we should abuse it to its full potential." Yankee said.
11 p.m. Students sing along to "Lips of an Angel" — Rock Hinder
Kelley Johnson, Kansas City freshman, sits typing on her laptop while smoking a cigarette and drinking a Red Bull. She has 10 page paper to write by tomorrow. She is not a flash resident but loves the atmosphere of the couch, as are types, live musician pass her with instrumentation hard. A crowd gathers around them at they begin to improvise a melody out two guitars, a viola, a harmonica and bongo drums. All five of them play for fun to see what they can create.
12 a.m. Students sing along to: A mix of voices
from the resident assistant
The porch is now full of people. Walking into the dorm requires students to wave in and out of people. Diana Hall, Hoxton, with year senior sits on the steps of the porch talking, unaware that Victor Washburn, Topica freshman, is stealing out of the dorm and behind her with a three foot long NERP gun. He cocks the gun, takes aim and pushes the trigger. Nothing happens. He tries agile, still nothing. After the third try he gives up and, with a sigh, takes a dirt from the gun and throws it at her. Upon the hit he bursts into a laugh. Hall is the first casualty of the game called Assassin. The game puts resident against resident as they try to "kill" their targets with NERP guns or by throwing a sock at them. Washburn's victory is short lived. Immediately following his triumph, he is hit with a sock by Keaver.
This Gavens needs a ride. His car has broken down and he has taken refuge at Hash. He has
5. a.m. Students are singing along to Swimmer by Braken Social Scene
been waiting for a friend to pick him up since 11
rem. He is not worried though.
These people looked like peaceful folk, so I thought it would be good to wait for my ride here. Gavers and Inside Hask, Arnold Mithmawong, Swindale, Ake, junior, and Morgan Johnston, Dolphin senior, play Cle while on security duty. Both have grown accustomed to the amount of people on the porch. In fact, they consider it a tradition.
"You have to learn the past of Hash from older residents," Johnston said. "Things like playing music and smoking all night are starting to come back."
A small gathering is swing dancing while inside the security team wraps up their last game of Clue before the shift change. The murderer? Professor Plum in the lounge with the rope.
2. A.m. Students sing along to: "Straw Dog" by Something Corporate
3 a.m. Students sing along to: the theme song
of "Theme" on Nickelodeon.
to "Dong" on Nickelodeon
The last of the workers at Studio have finally gotten off work, Megan Mills, Clearwater, junior, walks to the porch and relaxes before she returns to Tempin Residence Hall to go to bed. She sits and talks with Kegan Scriver, Scandia, sophomore, who is in the process of lighting coal for a bookok. The two of them happen to be the only people on the porch, a brief reprise from the regular busile. The lull will last only minutes. Other residents have gone to Dunkin' Doughnuts to get a dozen sprinkled doughnuts.
Inside, Jared Elinkt, Bellville, Ill., junior is
sustained his first of two shifts for the day. He has his
biology book, with him. He needs to study because he has a test later in the day.
4. Attend Students sing along to: "Mrs. Robinson"
    - Simon and Garfunkel
Returning from Dunkin' Doughnuts with a dozen spiked doughnuts and coffee, Afton Bobee passes out connections to the students left smoking from the Hekokah. Soon after, Zach Stalling, Kansas City freshman, drags his laundry behind him. He is the last resident to return from his weekend at home.
5 a.m. Students sing along to: "Got to give it up"
Mariam Gay
After an eventful night, only 10 residents remain on the porch smoking out of the hookah. All of them have been in and out of Hash throughout the night. A car pulls up to deliver newspapers, and the students begin to applaud. The delivery marks the end of a night spent outside the dorm. The students decide to go to Perkins, then to bed. It has been a long night and all of them have class later in the day Inside, Elfrink has finished studying and is working on a Sudoku puzzle. His day has only begun.
At a time when most students are asleep, a whole eight hour day has played on the front steps of Hash. The ash trays are full, the trash cans are overflowing and for the first time that night, there is no one outside of Hash.

ATHLETICS
Graduation statistics released
The Kansas Athletics Department released its annual graduation report Tuesday, and student athlete graduation rates are up slightly from last year.
The University's Student- Athlete Graduation Success Rate
The Athlete Graf (G S R) , which is a formula the NCAA uses to evaluate an athletics department graduation rate, was 70 percent, as opposed to last year's 68 percent.
"The goal is 100 percent and then you work from there."
JIM MARCHIONY Associate Athletics Director
This year's statistics are
from the class that came in as freshman in 1999. Only athletes who receive an athletic scholarship from the time they enroll are counted. For example, former men's basketball player Christian Moody will not factor into the rate because he was not on an athletic scholarship when he initially enrolled.
The federal graduation rate for Kansas athletes who enrolled in the 1999-00 academic year was 60 percent, which is almost identical to the 59 percent University graduation rate.
"The goal is 100 percent and then you work from there." Marchiony said. "We're pleased with the progress they're making. We're never satisfied with the progress."
Earlier this month, NCAA president Myles Brand said he would like to see an 80 percent graduation rate for Division I athletes. At Kansas, Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director has higher aspirations.
— C.J. Moore
The stats
The Student-Athlete Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is a formula the NCAA came up with to determine an institution's graduation rates in athletics and is expressed as a percent. The figure factors in if an athlete transferred from an institution and does not count against a school's GSR. This year's GSR comes from the incoming freshmen class of the 1999-2000 academic year.

Jayhawks take first at Alvamar
Team wins Kansas Invitational by 20 strokes; all five players perform well
BY ASHER FUSCO
The hopes of the Kansas men's golf team have all too often rested squarely on the shoulders of senior Gary Woodland in recent years.
A strong effort from his teammates in Tuesday's final round of the Kansas Invitational has undoubtedly helped lift some of the weight from Woodland's weary back.
The Jayhawks made use of contributions from all five members of the team to take home the first place trophy from Alvamar Golf Club on
Tuesday afternoon. The steady play of senior Tyler Docking and the resilience of senior Barrett Martens allowed Kansas to leave the field behind despite an unspectacular
"This is the kind of margin of victory you like to see," coach Ross Randall said. "Eight-hundred-sixty-two is a good score to shoot at Alvamar with some tough wind and fast greens."
Docking shot a 72 on Tuesday to finish at par and end in a tie for fourth place, and sophomore Zach Pederson shot a 73 to finish tied for 20th place.
"This is the kind of margin of victory you like to see."
Inexperience caught up to freshman Bobby Knowles, who fought his way to 77 in the third round but placed 23rd overall.
lar third round from Woodland.
ROSS RANDALL Coach
all three rounds from Woodland. Woodland shot an even-par 72 to hold onto his lead and finish first, but seemed just as pleased with his team's performance as his own.
"The team is definitely off to a good start." Woodland said. "We're well on our way."
Consistency was the name of the game for Kansas on Tuesday, as no individual posted a score over 77 on the way to an overall team score of 862 and a 20-stroke advantage over second-place Nebraska.
Tuesday's unseasonably cool temperatures and gusting winds presented problems for many of the teams, but the Jayhawks were able to use their familiarity with the course to their advantage.
Martens was the Jayhawks' unlikely hero Tuesday. After struggling through his first two rounds on Monday, Martens sat far off the pace, in a tie for 85th. On
Tuesday, Martens vaulted himself into a tie for 55th with a one-under 71. Martens' performance was the Jayhawks' best Tuesday, and helped ensure that the first place trophy would stay in Lawrence for the third consecutive year.
"I didn't do anything different physically," Martens said. "But after being so frustrated yesterday I knew I had to play well today."
Coach Randall, while proud of his entire team, was especially pleased that the seniors enjoyed so much success in the final home tournament of their collegiate careers.
Nebraska and Iowa State both posted overall scores of 882 but

Quarterback's status tentative after Friday's injury
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Nearly five days after suffering an undisclosed arm injury, Kerry Meier's status for Saturday's game is still unknown.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said team doctors reexamined the right arm of his freshman quarterback on Tuesday.
"If he's injured, he doesn't play," Mangino said. "All the information I have to this point is that it looks to be fine."
In his three starts this season, Meier is 47 of 86 passing for 538 yards, with six touchdowns and seven interceptions. He is also averaging nearly 50 yards per game rushing, with four touchdowns. Meier currently ranks sixth in the Big 12 Conference, averaging near-

injured early in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss at Toledo while rushing the football.
Mangino said he would make the decision whether to play Meier on Saturday based on his talks with team doctors and whether the injury would limit his ability to throw the football.
If Meier isn't able to play Saturday against South Florida, it's likely that backup senior Adam Barmann will get the start.
"I just want to be sure, be careful," he said. "We'll wait and make sure everything is perfect before we do anything."
Mangino will update Meier's

ly 230 yards of total offense.
Barmann has started at least
Mangino said he didn't realize the effect of Meier's injury until he watched tape of the game. Receivers also said they didn't immediately notice the effects.
"Being a competitor, you want to be out there on the field," Murph said. "I don't fault him for that at all."
Senior wide receiver Brian Murph said he saw Meier's injury and respected his decision to remain on the field.
—Despite Meier's four-interception performance in Friday's loss, offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro said Meier is on the right track.
Football Notes:
"I think he's on target," Quartaro said. "I'm still very upbeat and confident, as he is. Sure there's a mistake here or there, but by the same token, all 11 positions have a breakdown here or there."
While Meier threw some interceptions at critical times, he also lead the offense on several long scoring drives, including diving for the game-tying score late in the fourth quarter.
Junior punter Kyle Tucker acknowledged Tuesday that his season hasn't gone exactly as planned. He had a punt blocked and mishandled another in the season-opener against Northwestern State. He also shanked a punt late in the fourth quarter of Friday's game.
Tucker's punts have started to improve, though. He nailed several inside the 5-yard line Friday night.
During the summer, Tucker was named to the Ray Guy Award watch list, the post-season award
given to the best punter in college football. He currently ranks ninth in the Big 12, averaging more than 38 yards per punt.

FANTASY FOOTBALL
Trade players now; make team stronger
Week two of season showed certain franchises have lottery picks to obtain
BY EVAN HENGEL
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EHENGEL@KANSAN.COM
This week we're going with five adds and five drops, and just so you know, the support group for those who drafted LaMont Jordan will meet Tuesday nights on Wescoe Beach.
Players to add:
1) Alex Smith (quarterback, San Francisco 49ers): This week, I give you Alex Smith. So far, he's amassed a 93.5 quarterback rating and has yet to throw a pick. Not only that, but this week he faces a Philadelphia defense that allowed 371 yards to Eli Manning and the Giants last week. If you have Drew Bledsoe or Philip Rivers as your top quarterback and need someone to cover for their bye week, plug in Alex Smith with confidence.
2) Marques Colston (wide receiver/tight end, New Orleans Saints): The answer to my question's question of, "Who in the world is Marques Colston?" is as follows: he is a 6-foot-4 rookie, hybrid tight end/wide receiver who went to Hofstra, and he could help you win some fantasy matchups down the road. It's hard to ignore his eight catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns so far, and if Drew Brees develops a rapport with Colston like he did with Antonio Gates in San Diego, he could be a fantasy gold mine for years to come.
3) Michael Turner (running back, San Diego Chargers): He's stuck backing up the best running back in the NFL in LaDainian Tomlinson. However, with the way the Chargers are blowing teams out right now, Turner is getting plenty of mop-up playing time. Turner is worth a flex play when San Diego plays teams like San Francisco (week six), Cleveland (week nine), Oakland (week 12) and Buffalo (week 13). Turner is a solid downhill runner who's great after contact, and if Tomlinson wears

Benjamin Sklar/ASSOCIATED PRESS
4) Jerricho Cotchery (wide receiver, New York Jets): No, he has nothing to do with the TV show being filmed in North Lawrence, but I bet he lasts more seasons than CBS's "Can't Miss New Drama!" Cotchery has at least six catches and a touchdown in each game this year and, along with teammate Laveranues Coles, will set his sights on Buffalo's defense in week three.
down, which is entirely possible as he's getting 30 touches per game. Turner would be a top-five back.
5) Samkon Gado (running back, Houston Texans): There are whispers out of Houston that Ron Dayne is next in line to take the starting running back job, but don't believe them. "The Dayne Train" is neither fast nor elusive, and he runs with all the tenacity of a baby kitten for a man his size. Gado, recently acquired from Green Bay, will be the man in Houston, whatever that's worth. Last year he had three 100-yard games in just five starts, highlighted by a 179-yard effort in an overtime victory against Detroit.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith (11) throws a 72-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Bryant in the second half of an NFL football game against the St. Louis Rams in San Francisco, on Sunday. St. Louis Rams' Anthony Hargrove (95) is in the background. San Francisco won 20-13.
Players to drop:
1) Damon Huard (quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs): The San Francisco defense he'll face in week four looks appetizing, but I wouldn't bother. Against the Broncos, if you ignore the 37-yard pass to Eddie Kennison, Huard was 16 of 22 for just 96 yards. Someone should probably tell him that it's not illegal to throw the ball past the line of scrimmage. Unless your league gives you bonus points for screen passes, he's not worthy of a start. Get well soon Trent, get well soon.
2) Wali Lundy (running back, Houston-Texans): Lundy got off to a slow start Sunday. After getting stuffed at the line a couple times, coach Gary Kubiak gave him one more shot to prove himself before he put in Dayne or Gado. Lundy promptly responded by fumbling. The six carries he was given against
Indianapolis doesn't bode well for his chances at keeping the starter's job. He was drafted in the sixth round, barely averaged four yards per carry his senior year at Virginia and has never eclipsed 1,000 yards, so he's not exactly a hot prospect. And like I said earlier, its Gado's time to shine.
3) Jake Plummer (quarterback, Denver Broncos): You won't find a quarterback who's on a hotter seat than Plummer. The fans hate him, and he's compiled a 38.6 quarterback rating with zero touchdowns and four interceptions. Mike Shanahan won't make the switch to Jay Cutler immediately, but the smart money says that Jake the Snake will be riding the pine by year's end.
4) Ben Troupe (tight end, Tennessee Titans): Troupe seems to have fallen out of favor in the Music City for some reason. He has fewer catches, one, than third-string tight end Bo Scaife. I think that he'll eventually rebound and turn into a good player. Especially since the 'Titans' offense seems to be about as potent as a glass of water.
5) Aaron Brooks (quarterback, Oakland Raiders): The only thing funnier than watching Art Shell stand perfectly motionless on the sidelines is watching Brooks attempt to play quarterback. He left Sunday's game against the Ravens having not attempted a pass, and yet he did manage to funble twice, which is pretty amazing. He's out for two to four weeks with a strained pectoral muscle, but you want to drop him anyway. Don't even think about picking up his replacement, Andrew Walter. He was good at Arizona State, but his numbers in the NFL thus far are Ryan Leaf-esque.

3 straight losses don't faze volleyball team
BY DREW DAVISON
The Kansas volleyball team has a shot at redemption tonight against Texas A&M after the team was crushed by Nebraska and Texas to open Big 12 play.
The Jayhawks will take on the Aggies at 7 p.m. at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Coach Ray Bechard said the team needed to move on after being defeated by the No. 1-ranked Cornhuskers and the No. 5-ranked Longhorns.
"We will wipe the slate clean and get ready for A&M," he said.
The Jayhawks (7-4, 0-2 Big 12) have defeated the Aggies (7-3, 0-2) the last three seasons in Lawrence. TAMU leads the all-time series 18-3, but A&M's last victory at KU was in 2002.
"This conference is tough," Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, said. "It's going to be tough every night out."
Tonight's game will feature two of the top setters in the conference. Kansas freshman Katie Martinicch leads KU averaging 11 assists per game, and Texas A&M's junior Meghan Kainz leads her team with 11.47 per game.
Kansas' Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, has been playing well lately and has become a leader of the team. In eight of eleven matches, she had at least 14 kills.
A&M comes in after losing the first two conference games, being swept by Oklahoma and losing in five games to No.17 Missouri.
TAMU freshman outside hitter Mary Batis leads the team with 4.19 kills per game. She had a season-high 21 kills against No. 22 Minnesota in non-conference play.
The Aggies rank third in the conference in hitting percentage at 266.
Even though the Jayhawks have lost three straight, they still have high hopes for tonight.
"We're a good team, we just need to figure out where we are," Correa said.
Admission is free for students with a valid KUID and fans in attendance will receive a Jayhawk T-shirt.

KANSAN COLUMNIST
FDAVIS@KANSAN.COM
I learned a few things after watching college football for nearly 12 hours this weekend during what was dubbed "Separation Saturday."
For starters, we all found out that Notre Dame and Brady Quinn are wildly overrated; surprise, surprise. We found that USC is going to be a contender again despite losing one of the best backfields in college history, PAC-10 officiating is the worst in the country and the SEC is the best conference in college football.
Perhaps most intriguing is Separation Saturday did not apply only to the 14 ranked teams hyped by every media outlet in America, but to the Big 12 North as well.
Though folks are barking about Kerry Meier's four interceptions Friday night and fumbled handoff to Jon Cornish, the freshman quarterback is just fine. Take away Toledo's two fourth—down touchdowns and the game isn't even close. I know Kansas needs a road win, and they need one badly. But I'll continue to beat this drum all season: this is a young team with a freshman at the most important position. I can live with Meier making mistakes like the ones he made against Toledo because it's part of the learning curve for a new quarterback.

Besides, I'm not all that impressed

by what I've seen from the other quarterbacks in the division. Nebraska is still waiting for Zac Taylor to evolve into a quarterback, and from what I saw in the USC—Nebraska game, that's not going to happen anytime soon. Taylor has shown that he's easily rattled, and that will be the key to upsetting the Cornhuskers when Kansas and Nebraska meet in less
with all that said, if Kansas is going to have a chance to win the North, its going to have to come down to Kerry Meier.
As for Kansas State, let's just say we got the better Meier at quarterback in that deal. He may have thrown for 256 yards against Marshall, but after eight or nine or however many years he's been at K-State, he bound to put up a decent game eventually. And Colorado?

BIG 12 COMMENTARY
Other schools discuss their football
With Big 12 Conference play approaching, the Kansan asked other newspapers in the conference for their perspective on how their football team is fa These columns were all written and published for various student newspapers in the conference.
Nebraska Cornhuskers turn out to be not as impressive as first the few games would seem to have implied
Nebraska sophomore Nick Filipowski examined the USC game in Tuesday's issue of The Daily Nebraskan:
So I was wrong.
In my column in the Aug. 29 edition of the Daily Nebraskan, I wrote, "What better time to boost your confidence early in the season than with what should be three beat-'em-up games against Louisiana Tech, Nicholls State and the Southern California Trojans (no, I didn't stutter)?"
I have been stabbed in the chest by the almighty Trojan sword and slapped in the face so hard by reality that I am indeed blubbering, stumbling and stuttering over my words.
Having to explain myself to more-than-annoyed friends who had faith in the words I spoke isn't easy to succumb to.
I'll admit that my prediction of a "beat-em-up" game was a little far-fetched, but there isn't anything wrong in having a little faith, is there?
Other than the first few drives for Nebraska, I wasn't all that impressed. Come to think of it, neither was anyone else.
The bottom line is that even with all the "ifs," "ands," "buts" and hypothetical situations that could be scrutinized, one giant truth still remains:
The Cornhuskers were out played.
The Huskers squandered some opportunities, but who's to say the Trojans wouldn't have been able to counter like they have against every opponent they've played the
past four years?
Sure, holding USC to less than 30 points for the first time since their 2004 campaign is an accomplishment the Huskers should be
proud of, but sat
isfaction shouldn't
be the
only feeling
the Huskers
walk away with.
N
Although there is little sense of urgency this week against Troy, the Huskers will have the chance to get revenge on another set of Trojans and hopefully put me back on the "truthful and less boisterous" track.
Troy is no pushover, giving Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouses Florida State and Georgia Tech good scares in the past two weekends.
Offensively, the Huskers will have to drive down the field with a purpose, not taking anything less than a first down or touchdown as the game progresses.
Somewhere along the way I figured that even with the setbacks in the secondary and an offense operating on all cylinders, NU could still be able to keep pace with USC and at least, if nothing else, give the Trojans a good run for their money.
Somehow I managed to overlook the weapons that USC quarterback John David Booty has at his disposal — mainly his "future first-round NFL draft picks"
receiving corps and the fact that injuries can significantly cripple a team.
With the game ending as pretty much everyone thought — in a USC victory — a pie was thrust into my face, and I was made to look like a fool.
Sure, NU junior defensive back Andre Jones may have "predicted a Nebraska victory", but even without that, neither he nor junior cornerback Courtney Grixby would have been able to shut down Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith.
As I recall, unless Jarrett and Smith chose not to give 100 percent, no defensive back in the nation has been able to stop them during their tenure at USC.
While I don't mind looking like an idiot if I've done something foolish, I'm unhappy I now look like a fool after making such a "profound" prediction.
Defensively, the secondary needs to step up big time.
There are big shoes to fill in replacing Zackary Bowman, but it's not impossible to have a presence and still make the quarterback throw the ball in your direction.
To the secondary, this weekend try not to look like you're doing the hokey pokey, because Troy, like USC, will have a blast at your expense.
If Nebraska doesn't quickly remedy a Trojan hangover, another group of players from Troy will force me to issue another mea culpa next week.
The Kansas State Wildcats defeated Marshall on Saturday. The Wildcats won't meet the Jayhawks until Nov. 18. K-State Collegian writer Jonathan Garten wrote this article for Monday's Collegian.
Kansas State football coaches tired of their players earning
K-State quarterback Dylan Meier is the older brother of Kansas quarterback Kerry Meier;
Quarterback Dylan Meier dropped back to pass as the Marshall blitz came flying at him. Meier quickly read the Thundering Herd's man-to-man coverage and found his receiver, Jermaine Moreira, with a pass.
Moreira turned and eluded several defenders on his way to a 44-yard touchdown, sealing a 23-7 victory for the Wildcats on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium.
The play finished off a four-catch 95-yard game performance by Moreira.
But when coach Ron Prince met Moreira on the field after the score, it was not to congratulate the senior wide receiver. Prince wanted to be the first person to yell at Moreira for a celebratory dive into the end zone.

"I'm not going to tolerate that behavior." Prince said. "That kind of

Junior safety Marcus Watts called Moreira's run one of the best he had seen. But his emotions quickly went from excitement to disappointment as he watched Moreira soar over the goal line.

penalties — 14 — and penalty yards 116 — than in the first two weeks combined.
Sophomore Antwon Moore said the game was full of emotion. The previous two games between K-State and Marshall were decided by a touchdown or less, and last year's game at Marshall ended with a shoving match at midfield.
"This was a big game for us and for coach Prince," Moore said. "We all wanted to go balls-out like we plan on doing all year."
Marshall also had discipline problems, being penalized nine times for 72 yards. The Herd has been penalized 32 times for 291 yards this season.

Three instant replay calls handled poorly by officials; University of Okalahoma owed apology for poor decisions
The University of Oklahoma lost to The University of Oregon on Saturday after the Ducks scored 14 points in the final 72 seconds. However, there were two questionable calls made by officials during the game's final minutes that went against Oklahoma.
This column by sports editor Zach West was published in The Oklahoma Daily on Monday:
I'm not sure how to describe what I saw Saturday. A travesty? A farce? A sick joke?
The three calls made late in the OU-Oregon game by Pac-10 officials were both wrong and inexcusable. There's no other way to say it, and some severe explaining needs to be done.
The Oklahoma - Texas Tech instant replay controversy last year was like a misdemeanor compared to this felony of a bungling by the officials. The plays were no-brainers. After watching a tape of the game over and over again, the truth still remains the same. OU was screwed.
On the onside kick, the Oregon player clearly touched the ball first before it went 10 yards. The illegal contact was then proven on what seemed like eight different camera angles.
But in a surreal moment right out of George Orwell's "1984" or any other futuristic novel where the people in charge dictate the "truth" to the masses — the referee came out and said, "There is conclusive video evidence that the ball was touched by a receiving team (OU) player."
Conclusive? Did the official in the booth somehow flip his channel to the LSU-Auburn game?
Because he sure as heck wasn't watching what I was watching.
Here was the referee, telling millions of people watching on television that they didn't see what
they just saw.
And lost in all of the confusion was that OU's Allen Patrick actually recovered the football. Once again, the tape clearly shows the ball squirt out of the bottom of the pile — well away from any Oregon player — and Patrick simply picks it up and shows it to the officials,
OU
who proceed to ignore hin
Seconds later, seemingly to rub it in, a pass clearly deflected by
an OU lineman was not acknowledged because the video was "inconclusive."
The whole sequence was mind-boggling.
So what should be done?
First, there needs to be an investigation, because the game was handed to Oregon on a silver platter. Whether this was intentional or not, I don't know. Basically, there needs to be open explanation to OU as to how this situation was permitted to occur under a system that was brought in to keep situations like this from occurring.
Second, instant replay has officially been proven a sham and needs to be discarded or drastically changed. If referees won't overturn calls that are obviously incorrect, then why have the system at all? In reality, the plays weren't even that close, yet somehow they befuddled the officials.
Third, college football's timing changes have also taken a hit. With 45 seconds left - under the old rules - the Sooners would have had plenty of time to get into better field goal range. Under the new rules, where the clock starts at the kick and as soon as the ball
is spotted, the Sooners managed one measly run and nearly let the clock run out before spiking the football.
And finally, the national media's anti-OU bias was clearly displayed by an unwillingness to defend the Sooners.
"Well, if the Sooners would have played better defense, or made the field goal, they still could have won," one national talking head said.
Bull.
They shouldn't have had to keep playing defense, and Hartley shouldn't have had to hit a field goal.
And trust me, I'm not one to make excuses. I hate excuses.
Can't stand' em. I usually I just tell people to get over it and move on.

Don Ryan/ASSOCIATED PRESS
But in this case, I have to make an exception. The Sooners, who many predicted would lose to Oregon (including myself), came out and played extremely well for a young team on the road in a stadium as formidable as Autzen. Yes, they made plenty of mistakes. Too many to count, really. But they played well enough to win,
Oklahoma's Malcolm Kelly (4) and Oregon's Brian Paysinger (19) battle for an onside kick by Oregon late in the fourth quarter during college football action in Eugene, Ore., Saturday. The Pac-10 Conference issued a one-game suspension Monday to the officiating crew and the instant replay officials who worked the game after finding mistakes were made in calls near the end of the game. The onside kick was one of the crucial calls.
and that's all that matters. It's a shame that a hard-earned victory from a young team had to be so obviously taken away.
So, in the words of Ricky Ricardo, "Somebody's got some 'splaining to do."

Missouri defensive end small, still effective
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- At some point, Missouri coaches stopped bothering Brian Smith about his weight. After all, it's hard to argue with the results.
The 230-pound defensive end may be small for his position, but he's a big reason the Tigers are off to
a 3-0 start heading into Saturday's home game against Ohio.
The fifft-year senior has for years been peppered with questions about how much he weighed, and told he needed to add bulk. Now, coach Gary Pinkel and defensive line coach Craig Kuligowski have called off the interrogation.
"I guess they have confidence in me that I can play at the weight I'm at right now," Smith said.
A Missouri player has won a player of the week award each of the past three weeks.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Negro Leagues star Buck O'Neil was hospitalized Sunday so doctors could conduct a series of tests, said Bob Kendrick, marketing director for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
This is the second time O'Neil has been admitted since he was hospitalized Aug. 5 for exhaustion.
O'Neil, 94, had been experiencing sporadic problems with his voice even prior to his July speech at
tion ceremony, but they seem to be lingering this time. Kendrick said.

With those at-bats, he became the oldest man ever to play professional baseball. He surpassed 83-year-old Jim Eriotes, who struck out in a minor league game in South Dakota earlier that month, by more than a decade.
O'Neil, one of the driving forces in the creation of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, received a standing ovation before and after he spoke at the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony in July. Seventeen Negro Leagues players were enshrined, but O'Neil wasn't among them — despite widespread support in the baseball community.

RYDER CUP
Duo of Americans look to win in Ireland
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
STRAFFAN, Ireland — On paper and in person, they look nothing alike.
Tiger Woods is sheer power, from his 12 major championships and 63 titles worldwide to his acclaim as the richest athlete and one of the most recognizable faces in the world.
Jim Furyk is a U.S. Open champion who grinds at his golf and is recognized only by his swing, which is not always a compliment. An analyst once described it as an octopus falling out of a tree.
Woods' reputation is the long ball.
But they almost certainly will be partners in this Ryder Cup, a combination that makes sense only to them.
Furyk is so accurate he can aim at stripes left by a lawn mower.
Their success is crucial to an American team that has lost four of the last five times in the Ryder Cup.
For all his greatness in the majors, Woods has been nothing more than ordinary in the Ryder
Cup. Woods is 1-7 on Fridays at the Ryder Cup, riding an ugly streak of seven straight losses.Furyk isn't much better.
"Believe it or not, Jim and I play the game the same way — it's just I hit the ball further," Woods said recently. "But our belief in how we play the game strategically, how we read greens, the philosophy of getting around the golf course, we're almost identical."
Asked about the possible distractions of playing with the world's No. 1 player, Furyk stared back as if he didn't understand the question. Then he shrugged, and delivered an answer that showed why he and Woods get along so well.
"You can either say, 'Uh-oh, I'm playing with the best player in the world' Or you can say, 'All right! I'm playing with the best player in the world'!" Furky said. "What's the worst that can happen? It's not the end of the world"
That smacks of what Woods often has said about coping with pressure over some of the biggest putts he has ever made.
United States Ryder Cup team member Tiger Woods tees off from the 17th, during a practice session at the K Club golf course, Strafan, Ireland on Tuesday. The Ryder Cup, the biannual match between the United States and Europe, will get underway on Friday.

Rapper's divorce proceeds
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich
MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. — Eminem continued divorce proceedings with his wife, Kimberley Mathers, in an hour-long private hearing.
Macomb County Circuit Judge Antonio Viviano told reporters after the hearing Tuesday that the case was being referred to a mediator. Lawyers for Eminem and Mathers said a date for mediation hasn't been set.
Eminem's lawyer, Harvey Hauer, and Mathers' lawyer, Michael J.
Smith, said they hoped the case would be settled amicably.
Mathers, who is seeking financial support, attorney fees and joint custody of the couple's 10-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, declined comment on her way out of the courthouse.
The 33-year-old Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn't seen leaving the building.
Eminem filed for divorce April 5.
The couple remarried in Rochester
on Jan. 14, a month after announcing they were getting back together.
Eminem has won nine Grammy Awards, including best rap album for "The Slim Shady LP", "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show."
Their first marriage lasted from 1999 to 2001.
He won an Oscar for the song "Lose Yourself" from "8 Mile," the semi-autobiographical 2002 film in which he starred.

Ohio State tailback sentenced to 3.5 years
BY RUSTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — His mother crying in the courtroom behind him, Maurice Claret stood before a judge as a common criminal in the town where not so long ago he was a king.
Gone was the glory of having led Ohio State to a national championship as a freshman tailback, along with the can't-miss prospect of an NFL career.
In their place stood a prison term of at least 31/2 years, the product of a plea deal Clarett took Monday as he was about to be tried on allegations that he robbed two people at gunpoint.
"He was up here," Clarett's attorney, Michael Hoague, said minutes later, raising his arm up to eye level. "He got down here," he said, lowering his arm to his waist. "And he's going to be back up here again."
Clarett was sentenced to 7 1/2 years with release from prison possible after 3 1/2 years. He also agreed to serve five years of probation for the robbery outside a bar early on New Year's Day and carrying a concealed weapon.
"It's in a range that will allow him to get his life back together after his release," Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said.
For Clarett, still just 22, the plea
bargain preserved the chance he could one day resurrect a career he had tried to keep going until the night last month that he led police on a highway chase in a sport utility vehicle with four loaded guns. Officers had to spike the tires to stop him and use pepper spray and handcuffs to subdue him when his bulletproof vest stymied their stun guns.
"There are institutions in Ohio that actually have opportunities to work out and train for football and other athletics." Hoague said. "We're hoping he can do that, and stay in shape and be focused on that."
"I'd like to apologize for my behavior, and I accept the time that was given to me," Clarett said in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
After the judge accepted the deal, Clarett looked over at his mother in the first row of the gallery. She sobbed and held his 8-week-old daughter while sitting next to his girlfriend.
A bearded Clarett, wearing handcuffs and jail-issued clothing, remained expressionless throughout the hearing.
As a true freshman, Clarett led Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, scoring the winning touchdown in the second overtime in the title game against Miami.
That was the last time he played for the Buckeyes.

Ed Zurga/ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Robb Quinlan and Vladimir Guerrero homered to back rookie Joe Saunders, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 Tuesday as they tried to gain ground in the AL West.
The Angels, who have 11 games left, began the night 6 1/2 games behind division-leading Oakland.
Saunders (6-3) struck out a career-high eight in seven innings, allowing one run and seven hits, and Angels rookie starters improved to 18-5 this season. He escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the fifth when he struck out Emil Brown and Ryan Shealy.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 43rd save in 47 chances.
Kansas City clinched its third straight last place finish in the AL Central, the first time that's happened in the history of the franchise. The Royals (58-93) must win five of their last 11 games to avoid their fourth 100-loss season in five years.

the Angels ahead in the second, but Paul Phillips tied the score with a bloop RBI single in the bottom half.
Quinlan's two-out homer put
ers for the third straight season and eighth time overall. Los Angeles added a pair of runs in the eighth when Howie Kendrick hit a two-out RBI double and scored on Mike Napolit's single.
Garret Anderson added a two-out RBI single in the eighth against Ryan Braun.
Angel Berroa singled in a run off Scott Shields in the bottom half.

Meier's right arm injury may be bad enough to keep him out of game
With kickoff for Saturday's game nearly 48 hours away, it appears the injury to Kerry Meier's right arm may not be fully healed.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said following Wednesday's practice that the freshman quarterback is currently day-to-day and might be a game-time decision for the game against South Florida.
"He's been limited," Mangino said.
Mangino said earlier this week that he noticed during the
Toledo game that Meier's "range of motion" was affected after the injury occurred.
If Meier doesn't play, senior Adam Barmann will start, making him a four-year starter.
Mangino said Barmann has taken a majority of the snaps with the first-team offense this week. Barmann's last start came in 2005 in the season-opener against Florida Atlantic.

MICROBURST
Storm damage repair proceeds with federal, state money
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Parts of many campus rooftops ended up on the ground after the microburst on March 12. The University of Kansas cleaned up quickly and now rooftop repair is clipping along too.
Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management, said the repairs, primarily to roofs on campus, were either ongoing or completed at most of the buildings damaged in the storm
Reiske said he was pleased with the schedule of the project.
An early morning storm that produced winds between 70 and 90 mph and closed campus for a day caused the damage.

"The buildings that haven't been done thus far aren't causing us any trouble." Reiske said.
Don Steeple, vice provost for scholarly support, said the University estimated the cost of the repairs at $7 million.
"Where all the money is going to come from is up in the air at this point." Steeples said.
Reiske said getting the money for the repairs, however, has not been a problem. Since the damage was caused by a natural disaster, much of the funding was provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Other funding is coming from University funds and the
"Where all the money is going to come from is up in the air at this point."
Reiske said repairs had been completed at several buildings including Blake and Green halls and Danforth Chapel. Seven other buildings, including Fraser Hall and Robinson Gymnasium, are undergoing repairs.
The University has awarded contracts for work on five other buildings, including Watson Library. Repairs on those buildings have not begun because of a lack of necessary materials, but Reiske said he was not worried

Liberty inspires architect 9/11 Memorial designer speaks to more than 600

Maureen Milford, senior architecture major, looks at Daniel Libiskind's Freedom tower design, left, and design for Roebling's Bridge in Cincinnati, Ohio Wednesday. The designs are on display next to the Student Union Activities box office. Milford said she planned to attend Libeskind's speech. "The definitely a lot of buzz in the school of architecture about him" Milford said. "Pretach every人都 I've talked to is going."
Architect Daniel Libeskind, whose design was chosen in 2003 for the World Trade Center Memorial, said he wanted to reconnect downtown New York through his

"The site stands for America and for liberty," Libeskind said.
at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union Wednesday hoping for a seat to hear his sold-out speech.
M o r e than 600 people crowded the doors
JJ O'Toole-Curran, director of the Union Programs Office, said all free vouchers for the event were gone. Chairs and a big screen were set up in the traditions lounge on the 4th floor of the Kansas Union for those who couldn't get in the
auditorium.
"He's basically amazing. His ideas are very creative and abstract," said Pat Peterson, Wheaton, Ill., sophomore
Freedom Tower evolution
The tallest of five planned skyscrapers at ground zero has undergone three redesigns and two ceremonial groundbreaking. The Lower Manhattan Development Corp. chose Daniel Libeskin's design, but the project was later taken over by architect David Childs.

Besides the memorial, some of Libekind's other works include the Jewish Museum in Berlin and a major extension to the Denver Art Museum, which will open in October.
Libeskind grew up in Poland in an environment he described as "communist and anti-Semitic." He came to America as a teenager and remembers standing on the deck of the ship, seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time.
He said the statue provided motivation for his memorial design. Both "belong to humanity."

Libeskind referred to himself as the master designer of the memorial project. His concept is being used, but he's not building any of the buildings.
"It's not just up to the architect; it's political," Libeskind said in his speech. "I'm not the only one making decisions."
Peter Pran, professor of architecture, met Libeskind at a conference in 1980 and the two have remained friends ever since. Libeskind recently wrote a prologue to Pran's lat-
"He's one of the most creative architects in the world," Pran said. "He comes up with new ideas no one's ever designed before; very few architects are so creative."
John Gaunt, dean of the school of architecture and urban design, said Libeskind's work generated a lot of interest within the school.
"Our students are very attuned to what's going on in architecture," Gaunt said.
The Dole Institute of Politics has two beams from the World Trade Center towers on display in the main hall.
Libeskind said he wanted the memorial for the victims of 9/11 to be the largest part of the site.
"This site will not become business as usual," Libeskind said. "I'm doing my best to keep it that way, sometimes under very difficult circumstances."

University makes current tutoring services more affordable
BY DARLA SLIPKE
The Academic Achievement and Access Center provides a tutoring program that allows students to meet with a tutor for an hour and a half twice a week in groups of no more than four.
This semester, the cost for the service will be reduced by 40 to 50 percent because of University funding provided by tuition enhancement services.
Students in need of tutoring can now receive help for less than $2 an hour.
The program used to cost $100 per semester. The new price has yet to be finalized, but the cost is cheap compared to what some students
pay for private tutors.
Students may even qualify for a fee waiver. Last year, 45 fee waivers were granted.
Kristin Scott, assistant director of the Academic Achievement and Access Center, said there had not been a situation in which a student in need was denied.

Tutoring through the program is available for certain math, science and foreign language classes.
Students can continue to request tutoring until the 10th week of classes, but Scott said students shouldn't wait.
Scott anticipates that more groups will form as students continue to request them, and said the center was hiring more tutors to accommodate that need.
In 2003, the program had 23 tutoring groups. Last spring, the number of groups grew to 73. More than 60 tutor groups are already meeting this semester.

Sunflower house residents gather for dinner Tuesday evening. The group has four communal dinners each week and the residents sign up to help cook. About 30 people live in the Sunflower House and the ages of the residents range from 18-40 years old.
Local co-op back to full occupancy
BY MATT ELDER
Sunflower House residents were living in a half-empty house less than a year ago, but the house's population has again reached maximum occupancy.
The Sunflower House, 1406 Tennessee St., offers as many as 31 people a cooperative housing, or "co-op," option with shared responsibilities in what residents described as an "autonomous group." Residents evenly participate in cooking, cleaning and internal house decisions as a part of their housing contracts. By doing so, students pay cheaper housing rates — $180 to $200 for smaller rooms including utilities
than Lawrence residents who are sharing in the responsibilities of the home.
Near the end of the fall 2005 semester, fewer than half of the rooms were filled with occupants.
"That was an unusual drop rate," Chad Steele, Lawrence senior and Sunflower House resident, said. "No one's really sure why."
Keith Miller, applied behavioral sciences professor, founded the house in 1968. He said that the residents' efforts had previously been dedicated to investigating a new house for the co-op project and that might have explained the drop in residency.
Since ideas of a new house have
been dropped, the resident population has returned to normal. With the exception of the brief drop in residents experienced in 2005, Miller said the house had remained near or completely full throughout its years.
Nic Shepard, Lawrence resident was looking for available housing options when he returned from studying abroad. After recommendations from previous residents, he decided to call the Sunflower House home.
"I came back and was looking for a place with a flexible lease," Shepard said. "And I've staved since January."
Miller said his ultimate goal was to create a system that allowed students to share the bulk of housing
responsibilities. He planned to eventually remove himself from the project, which he did, leaving students exclusively to manage the home.
Miller said part of his goal was to set the house up in such a way that he could use the principles of applied behavioral analysis to observe the tendencies of a community environment.
"I think the angle we brought to its success was very helpful," he said.

Study ranks city in savings survey
FINANCES
BY JACK WEINSTEIN
Lawrence is one of 12 Kansas communities to be ranked in a national study about the best cities in which to save money.
The study, called the "Nest Egg Index," is an annual ranking of how people in U.S. cities save and invest their money. Each community was given a score based on a national average of 100. Lawrence had a score of 95.05.
Lawrence came in at 477 out of 500 cities ranked in a study released by A.G. Edwards, a national brokerage firm located in St. Louis. The firm ranked 500 cities out of 944 that it studied, accounting for 90 percent of the nation's population.
Commerce Bankpresident Mark Heider attributed Lawrence's ranking to the city's large and growing retirement-age community.
"Over the last four to five years, we've seen people, former alumni returning to live here," he said. "We see a lot of people moving out of California and Nevada to come here."
Heider cited Midwestern values, KU athletics and the proximity to larger metropolitan communities like Kansas City and Topeka as factors that encouraged people to settle in Lawrence. Lawrence's lack of a job market for young professionals, like Kansas City has with Sprint, was one of the reasons there were more older professionals and retirees in town, Heider said.
"We don't have a lot of young people moving to Lawrence except to come to school," he said.
Among the top 500 cities, Kansas and Missouri each had 12. McPherson, which had a score of 105.88, topped the list for Kansas at 125. Kansas City, Mo., (107.18), was the leader in the state of Missouri at 91.
The index is based on a number of factors including savings,
retirement plans, investments, net worth, household income, cost of living and local employment rate.
Lawrence ranked above the national average for cost of living and 401(k) and other retirement plans. The city's employment rate and savings were at the national average, but household income, net worth, investments and debt level were below the national average.
Sophie Beckmann, a financial planning specialist with A.G. Edwards' national office in St. Louis, said some of the factors that were below the national average could be attributed the number of college students in town.
Beckmann also recommended that students who wish to have a "nest egg" should start as early as possible. She recommended enrolling in a 401(k) plan after getting that first job, comparing the plan to getting "free money." Those types of retirement plans should be thought of as ways to pay yourself first, she said.
"If you start early, you have time on your side," Beckmann said. "And setting up a budget is key. You should know what you spend your money on."
The study also ranked states. Kansas came in at 22 with a score of 102.8 and Missouri was 24 with a score of 100.7. New Jersey (114.5), Connecticut (114.37), Minnesota (113.46), Maryland (112.28) and Massachusetts (111.77) composed the top-five.
The top five communities included Los Alamos, N.M. (134.31), Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn. (126.20), San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (125.93), Torrington, Conn. (120.85) and Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minn. (117.83).

Temperature policy fails to contain energy costs
BY KIM LYNCH
Heating costs at the University of Kansas have increased, despite measures to bring them down.
Cindy Strecker, energy program manager for Facilities Operations management information, said the University spent $4.2 million on natural gas and $6.2 million on electricity for the 2006 fiscal year.
Strecker said that natural gas, which primarily went toward heating, cost $3.4 million last year. Electricity, which powers air conditioning and much more, cost $5.2 million.
Strecker said part of the increase
in electric costs could be attributed to new buildings. She said the increases in natural gas utilities were mainly due to rising gas prices and fluctuations in weather.
Electricity is so widely used that figuring air conditioning costs specifically is difficult, Strecker said.
Strecker said Facilities Operations initially paid for some places on campus but was later reimbursed.
Former provost David Shulenburger set a temperature policy during the winter of 2000-2001 because of high natural gas prices. The policy dictates that occupied classroom temperatures be kept at 69 degrees when the
weather is cool and at 76 degrees on warm days. Exceptions are made for rooms like laboratories or computer labs, must be set at different temperatures. During winter break, rooms are set at 55 degrees. Turning heat off could cause pipes to freeze.
Jim Long, vice provost for facilities planning and management, said he thought the policy would stay the same.
More than 50 buildings on campus are controlled centrally. Others have thermostats in rooms or window units, Long said.
He said Facilities Operations discouraged changing the thermostat settings because they were set
at certain temperatures to conserve energy. If temperature problems arise, Facilities Operations should be contacted
Long said that Facility Operations was always open to suggestions and that issues with a room being too hot or cold arose should be directed to Facility Operations so a worker could respond to the problem.
Facilities Operations can be contacted at 864-4770.

HURRICANE KATRINA
Nursing home owners indicted for homicide Aftermath of storm leaves thirty-five patients dead, many others injured
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHALMETTE, La. — The owners of a nursing home where 35 patients died in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina were indicted Wednesday on charges of negligent homicide and cruelty to the infirm.
Salvador and Mabel Mangano were initially arrested about two weeks after the Aug. 29, 2005, storm. The Louisiana attorney general booked them on negligent homicide charges, but a grand jury was unable to convene for months because the court system was hobbled by damage to government buildings and the displacement of residents.
The couple remained free on bond Wednesday. They owned St. Rita's nursing home in St. Bernard
Parish a coastal suburb of New Orleans badly flooded by Katrina.
Attorneys in the case were prevented from commenting by a gag order.
The Manganos were originally arrested on 34 counts of negligent homicide, but the grand jury added a 35th count in its indictment, representing a body that was found later. The grand jury also added the cruelty charges.
The indictment for cruelty alleges the couple "intentionally or through criminal negligence" mistreated or neglected 64 patients.
It is believed to cover both patients who died and those who survived.
The Manganos were to be formally booked on the cruelty charges at an Oct. 4 hearing.
injured at the nursing home and the families of people who died there.
More than 30 lawsuits have been filed against the couple by patients
In a lawsuit filed last month, the couple sued the government, saying federal, state and local officials failed to keep residents safe and evacuate vulnerable citizens as the storm approached.
The Manganese have argued that their hurricane plan — to keep frail residents in place with food, water and generators rather than risk moving them — was a responsible course of action, and if the leves had held, the tragedy would have been avoided.
The Manganos' attorney, James Cobb, has stressed that the nursing home never flooded before Katrina and the Manganos worried that an evacuation would kill some of their elderly patients.
authorities are evaluating evidence to present to a grand jury about a doctor and two nurses accused of killing patients with painkillers in the chaotic days after the hurricane.
In another high-profile case,
Dr. Anna Pou and nurses Cheri Landry and Lori Budo were arrested July 17 and released without bond.
They were booked on suspicion of second-degree murder involving four trapped and desperately ill patients ranging in age from 62 to 90.
Attorneys for the three say they are innocent.
Katrina flooded 80 percent of New Orleans and virtually wiped out neighboring St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes. The Louisiana death toll was nearly 1,600.

WASHINGTON — "I check it, like, 7,000 times a day ... mainly to stalk people," said 17-year-old Brianna Russo.
"Yeah, I check my e-mail, and go on Facebook," added Kristen Warn, 18, who also uses the popular internet site to "stalk people."
The University of Maryland freshmen laughed as they described their obsessive relationship with Facebook.com, a popular Web site used to keep friends connected.

Users can now track who is ahead, among Facebook voters, in the gubernatorial and congressional elections state by state. There are even campaign issue groups where members can voice their opinions on all matters relating to the races that interest them.
"If I noticed it, I would use it."
Russo said.

"We have a pretty vocal user base," Deitch said. "We get thousands of e-mails every day that our customer support team sifts through in determining what the changes will be."
One of the most recent additions is the Election 2006 section, which allows users to voice their support for their favorite political causes.
While Melanie Deitch, the director of marketing, is not permitted to announce the next developments on the site before their official release, she did say that the users are the ones to decide what comes next.

The development team at Facebook
has also recently added the "Development Platform."
Users who are fluent in programming can create programs that work within Facebook, allowing members to do everything from finding a date, to voicing their opinion on campus issues, to sharing playlists and photos.
The Facebook Development Platform Group, an online forum for developers to discuss their programs, already has almost 3000 members, or just over 3 percent of the over nine million total people signed up on the site, just one month after its debut.
Russo and Warn shake their heads, "no," when asked whether they have heard of this feature.
Deitch said that the Facebook company was started as a way to replicate "the individual user's real world."

》 OUR VIEW
The problems of today become ours tomorrow
As students on a fairly idyllic Midwestern campus, we are generally isolated from the major problems of the world. Sure, we are affected by things like increases in gas prices, but it's safe to say that most of us are not personally touched by events like the war in Iraq, or even by larger orchestrations within the "war on terror."
This placid bubble of solitude is not going to last. The war in Iraq will not only shape policy in the Middle East for decades to come, it will also have a significant impact on U.S. fiscal policy for the duration of our lifetimes. The overarching "war on terror" really is as serious as you are hoping it is not. Say what you will about President Bush's evolving platitudes or evaporating pretexts — the fact is that this conflict really is a clash of two groups that envision a radically different future for the globe.
A recent article by Ahmed Rashid in The Washington Post confirms what we all fear: Terrorist recruiting is stronger than ever; their guerilla tactics are defeating our sophisticated technology; and our political strategy for victory is practically nonexistent. This disturbing story only serves to reinforce the seriousness of what is looming on our collective horizon. This war that seems so distant and intangible now will soon become our war.
Unfortunately, as students we tend to get caught up in the feisty political rhetoric that envelops cable news, rather than focus on the important ideological struggle this war represents. We seem to care more about retroactively debating the cause for war or arguing about the merits of a timetable for withdrawal than we do about discussing the reasons for the war itself.
A university campus may be the best place of all for fresh thinking about the "war on terror." Most of us are so far unencumbered by serious careers or entrenched loyalties, and people in that position can often provide the best ideas. But it is essential that we take that first step: beginning to think about it in very real and pressing terms. The war will affect our lives in measurable ways for years to come, and the sooner we all realize that, the better off we will be. The war presents radical problems that require radical solutions, and the students of today will be the ones forced to provide those solutions. Wed better start paying attention.

I dropped out of the University of Kansas ten years ago after posting a horrible freshman GPA and experiencing a slew of personal problems.
As my fellow columnist Cassie Gentry put it last month, I was "that guy" the one who was as ashamed and embarrassed because he couldn't cut it. Gentry uses "that guy" as an example of why the University should raise admissions standards. She argues that with higher standards, the University does "that guy" a favor by locking him out.
Fix ineffective admissions standards
COMMENTARY
The difference between "that guy" and me: I would have blown away any admissions requirements. I was a National Merit scholar with high ACT and SAT scores.
Excellent or slacking in high school doesn't dictate how you will perform at a university.
Beyond that, high school success may have more to do with wealth than ability. The Kansas City Star recently compared ACT scores in metro-area schools to the poverty levels in each school ("Schools still struggle with effects of poverty," 9/11/06). Of the 20 schools with the highest poverty levels, 17 were in the bottom 20 schools for ACT performance.
The organization that runs the SAT, the College Board, notes the dramatic effects family income can have on students' scores. In 2006, the average SAT score of students from families with a total income of more than $100,000 was 1656 out of a possible score of 2400. Children whose families made less than $20,000
"Conversely, 18 of the 20 schools with the lowest poverty levels are among the 20 with the highest ACT scores," the Star reported.

Don't forget about race, either. Whites scored an average of 276 pointsbetterthan African Americans, according to the College Board.
These are all interesting statistics, but none tell us what our University should do about admissions.
Gentry argues that raising admissions standards will help the college break into the top 25 public universities, meeting one of Chancellor Robert Hemenway's goals.
I say follow the example of those on top. Take a look at the admissions standards of the top five public universities.
The University of California-Berkeley, ranked number one, uses six criteria to analyze a student's personal and academic history along with test scores and a personal essay. According to its Web site, "Under no circumstances does Berkeley employ minimum scores or 'cut-offs' of any kind."
Neither of the universities tied for second use minimum test scores, either. The University of Virginia's admissions Web site states, "Students are more than the sum of two numbers, no matter how important those two numbers may be."
UCLA, at number four, is the only school in the top five that has a cut-off based on numbers. However, it uses a formula that assigns a point value to test scores, some high school classes and GPA. Those points determine if you are eligible to apply.
Even the College Board suggests colleges "guard against using minimum test scores" alone.
The top public universities recognize the inequities of depending upon a few numbers to judge who is worthy to attend their schools. I think our new provost, Richard Lariviere, understands this too when he suggests a "holistic" admissions process.
Becoming a top-25 public university will not be achieved with a few changes to admissions requirements. Using an in-depth application process that looks at a student's complete background will result in greater success for students entering our University. It will raise the overall quality of students while giving those who may not have done well in high school a fighting chance to prove they deserve a spot. Flat, arbitrary cut-offs disregard the effects race and family income have on high school students.
Gentry warns that more time and money would need to be spent using a holistic process. Of course more resources will be needed. But we won't improve by playing a numbers game with our admissions. Quick and cheap fixes don't secure you a place at the top.

Surveillance at Wakarusa dishonest
As a music lover, I have attended the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival for the past three years to take full advantage of the vast array of great music that has been on display there. Being a local to the KU community, I had the chance to read about the measures being taken by law enforcement to maintain a sense of order at the festival as the increasingly large crowds descend
OK, I can understand the need to keep as much drugs and paraphernalia off of the festival grounds because of legal issues and to keep everyone safe, but when I read the editorial expanding upon the lengths that the police went to in order to succeed, I certainly believe that the powers that be went just a bit too far in doing so.

Exercise a good way to improve mind and body
COMMENTARY
Pick a time of day to work out when you have the most energy and it's not a hassle. If you're not a morning person, don't attempt waking up early to get the workout out of the way because you'll end up hating it and stopping within a matter of days. Don't push yourself too hard. Many people get extremely motivated for a short period of time and try too much too fast. I used to have people come to my strength-training class and lift weights that were way too heavy for them. Since they weren't used to being sore, they didn't like the feeling and never came back. You also risk injury and burnout if you push yourself too hard too fast.
If you are serious about coming up with a systematic plan for your workouts, the best idea is to hire a personal trainer. The student recreation center offers sessions for as little as $10. They even have weekly sign-up sessions where you can sign up for a free personal-training session. Whatever form of exercise you choose, just remember, as long as you're moving, you're burning calories.

Stimulants are taken to stay awake. Many college students are on antidepressants or anxiety medicine because they're unhappy. Starbucks has groups addicted to caffeine. Many college students turn to smoking, alcohol or drugs to cope with stress, school and other problems.

According to the American Heart Association, these, along with many other issues, can be solved, or at least improved, with exercise.
Many people don't know where to get started when it comes to exercise. The most important thing is to do something, anything, to get your body moving. It doesn't matter how you burn calories, as long as you're burning them. Do things that you enjoy, so that you're not dreading go to the gym. Nobody wants to be a slave to the treadmill or sit on a weight bench and bore themselves to death staring at their reflection in the mirror. Going dancing at a club can be a great cardio workout. Taking a walk on campus and incorporating some simple exercises such as push ups or can be an excellent workout. Change your routine up if you get bored. If you do the same thing day in and day out, you won't stick with it.
When you exercise your brain releases endorphins, which are the body's natural pain reliever. That's why many people get a rush after exercise. It really does boost your mood.

HOLLYWOOD
Photographer almost hits actress to get picture
LOS ANGELES — Cameron Diaz filed a police report Wednesday accusing a photographer of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly driving his car at her, police said.
Diaz and her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, were leaving a friend's
home in Hollywood just after midnight Wednesday when a photographer who had been hiding in the bushes jumped out and tried to snap a picture of the pair, said police officer April Harding.
The couple chased the photographer "a short distance," she said.
"The photographer got into his car and drove toward Diaz and Timberlake, causing Diaz to jump out of the car's way," Harding said.
No one was immediately arrested and no suspects have been identified.
"The investigation is in its initial stages." Harding said.
A law that took effect this year holds photographers who engage in criminal behavior to get a picture liable for three times the damages they cause, plus loss of any profits the published photo might generate.
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
HOROSCOPE
Arles (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 6
Put off your playtime until later
— you have important work to
complete. You're finishing an important
phase, and beginning another.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 9.
Tuesday (April 28) 2020
Today is 9
Accept the acknowledgement others give for having achieved your objective. Share it with the others who made it all possible, with your help.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5
Some of the crew may have different opinions about how things ought to be done. You're a good leader, in that you help them figure out what will work best. You decide that, for best results.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 9
You could charm the paint off the walls. You won't have to do that, however. You'll be able to get somebody else to do it for you. Never let them see you sweat.
Stick with sure things for a while longer. Usually, you're quite lucky, but right now you'll do the very best doing just what you've done before.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is on 8
Might as well take charge of the situation. This shouldn't be very hard. Once everybody knows what they're supposed to do, you can relax. You'd better write it down.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 6
Some of the things you worry about are not even worth the bother. Do the reading and you'll find out which are which, in a hurry.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 9
Don't be a fool for flattery. Get used to it. When you're secure in yourself, you won't let the attention go to your head. If you're not there yet, practice.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 6
Conditions beyond your control have tipped the scales in your favor again. It's up to you to know what you have and can gain, however.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Today is an 8
Things are going well, but you should stay close to home. Other people are slightly eratic, and that can cause accidents.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Todav is a 6
What you're building now is a secure future. And when you want it to last, bricks are better to build with than paper.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
By now, you're right about in the middle of the adventure. Soon, you'll be able to talk about it. Meanwhile, keep paddling.

Sophomore leads Jayhawks in victory against Aggies
BY JEFF DETERS
Sophomore middle blocker Savannah Noyes would not let her team lose. When the Jayhawks needed her most, Noye's stepped up.
In Kansas' thrilling 3-2 victory against Texas A&M, Noyes set a career-high 22 kills during the
Jayhawks' victory.
In the first match Noyes led the Jayhawks with five kills and contributed two block assists. It was just an omen of things to come.
In game two Noyes contributed three kills to the Jayhawk attack and in games four and five Noyes had a combined nine kills.
Noyes has quietly been emerge
ing as a team leader this season. Going into last night's game Noyes was third on the team in kills with 148, trailing only Emily Brown and Jana Correa. Noyes also leads the team in blocks with 29.
Noyes was emotional during last night's game, screaming in excitement while the Jayahwks
rallied for a comeback victory.
Noyes was unavailable for comment, but Kansas coach Ray Bechard was impressed with her performance.
"She was awesome," Bechard said. "She hit .385, which is great."
Noyes' success on offense actually starts with her defense;
Berchard noted.
"The key to her is when she's defending pretty well her offence falls in place," Bechard said. "But she was huge tonight."
Junior right side hitter/setter Emily Brown was in awe of her teammate's performance.
“Oh my gosh, Savannah was a rock star tonight.” Brown said.
"She played so well. She had a lot of energy. She was very successful. It was a lot of fun to play with her tonight."

COLAIANNI (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
But let's look at the situation from a different angle: Boren's statement eliminated an excuse from university presidents for not having a playoff system in college football.
University presidents have been telling fans for years that a playoff system in college football is not possible because the student athletes would miss more class time. Apparently, Boren took time away from overseeing the students at Oklahoma earlier this week to write a letter about a non-conference game and showed how intertwined college football is with a university. Were there not more pressing matters at hand in Norman, Okla. this week? Oklahoma is now even considering cancelling their game with Pac 10 school Washington next season because of the incident. The saga continues.
Apparently, Boren cares a lot about winning and in college football. So you want fairness,
Borent! Then support a college football playoff system.
If there has been a better example of the hypocrisy of university presidents in regards to a playoff system, I have yet to find one. Fans know how much schools with big-time programs make off of their football teams each season through television appearances, bowl games and merchandise revenue. The numbers are huge. Yet, every once and a while, when fans are outraged that an actual national champion was not crowned because of the flaws in the Bowl Championship Series, they hear the same excuse from university presidents. There would be too much class time lost for football players; we have to care for the student athlete.
It's not even a good excuse. If the presidents instigated a playoff, student athletes would not miss any class time and could still care for the athletes. The games would occur during winter break at most
universities. For example, look at Kansas' Christmas break schedule. It begins on Friday Dec. 16 this year, two weeks after the Big 12 Championship game. The break runs more than a month, until Friday Jan. 19. There is plenty of time within that window to create a playoff system. If it was an eight-team playoff, a team would play a maximum of three additional games to the regular season schedule and conference championship game, all without conflicts with classes.
After what Boren did, there are no more excuses. It is time to end the ridiculous BCS and allow an actual fair system to be put in place.

Three arrested for forging football tickets
BY MARY KATE MALONE
THE OBSERVER - NOTRE DAME
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The St. Joseph County Prosecutor's office filed charges Tuesday against three New York men related to the sale of counterfeit Notre Dame football tickets.
Arnold Conyers, 27, Dennel Friday, 27, and Timothy Lang, 22, of Bronx, N.Y., were each charged with forgery and could face up to eight years in prison.
They were arrested Saturday and will remain in the St. Joseph County Jail until their arraignment at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the St. Joseph County Superior Court, according to a supplemental affidavit filed by St. Joseph County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Joel Gabrielle.
Associate Athletic Director John Heisler sent the affidavit along with a press release to members of the media Tuesday.
Friday and Lang were both caught selling "very good quality" counterfeit tickets before the Notre Dame-Michigan game Saturday, Gabrielle said in the affidavit.
Notre Dame Security/Police plain-clothes officers apprehended Friday, and Lang was caught after Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Bill Kirk witnessed him selling counterfeits.
The tickets Friday and Lang sold matched the counterfeit tickets that NDSP gathered after the Sept. 9 Notre Dame-Penn State game. Altogether, police have recovered roughly 170 counterfeit tickets for the last two home football games.
While Conyers was arrested Saturday, he was charged in connection with counterfeit ticket sales before the Penn State game one week earlier. Gabrielse said Conyers sold three counterfeit tickets Sept. 9 to a football fan who was not aware they were invalid. The fan took a picture of the seller after he bought
the tickets, which allowed police to identify Conyers as he walked near Dorr Road and U.S. 31 Saturday.
Conyers, too, sold "very high quality" tickets. The only difference between the recovered counterfeit tickets and authentic tickets was "a lack of details in the Notre Dame hologram," according to the affidavit.
Neither Conyers, Friday nor Lang admitted to selling counterfeit tickets, though Lang said he knew "something might be wrong" with the tickets he was selling.
All three men have been connected to recent counterfeiting schemes around the country. Conyers was convicted in two separate cases of forgeries involving Madison Square Garden in New York, and the National Football League is currently investigating both him and Lang for forged tickets. Also, Friday told police that he traveled with two men who were under investigation by the NFL.

DUQUESNE
Team tries to regroup after shooting

BY ALAN ROBINSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — With two teammates still lying in hospital beds, Duquesne University's basketball team tried to return to normalcy Wednesday, three days after five players were shot during a terrifying outburst of gunfire that followed a school dance.

The players went to class, lifted weights and were scheduled to work out later in the day.
On Tuesday, police arrested Brandon Baynes, 18, of Penn Hills, on five counts of criminal attempted homicide. Prosecutors also filed charges of aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, and weapons counts against him and William Holmes, 18, also of Penn Hills, who remained at large.
Even as team members tried to return to their routines, their thoughts were with their hospitalized teammates.
The Dukes were encouraged that junior forward Sam Ashaolu, the player most badly injured during the early Sunday morning shootings, was taking what coach Ron Everhart called the first "baby steps" of his hoped-for recovery.
"He's fighting like hell," Everhart said.
Ashaolu, who has one bullet and fragments of another in his head, has squeezed teammates' hands during their frequent visits at Mercy Hospital, and he seemed to respond to their words of encouragement. The 23-year-old Ashaolu remained in critical condition but
had a restful night following two difficult nights.
He was shot barely three weeks after arriving on campus following a circuitous journey to an NCAA Division I scholarship that took the Toronto, Ontario, resident through two high schools, a prep school and two junior colleges.
Stuard Baldonado, a junior forward shot in the back and left arm, had a bullet removed from a patch
of muscle just below the skin in his back and already has begun his rehabilitation. He could be released from Mercy Hospital within a couple of days.
Baldonado, 21, spoke by phone to his parents, who live on a small island off the coast of Colombia, and an aunt flew in from Germany to sit bedside. Teammates said he was walking in good spirits.

K-State football player arrested Sunday
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Tight end Rashaad Norwood, the leading receiver for the Kansas State Wildcats, has been suspended for Saturday's game against No. 8 Louisville.
Norwood, a junior, was arrested early Sunday and charged with two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and obstruction of the legal process.
Coach Ron Prince said he anticipates Norwood will return this season but did not say whether the suspension will last longer than one game.
"I'm disappointed in what happened, disappointed in the circumstances that would lead to such an event," said Prince, whose 3-10 Wildcats face their stiffest test of the season against undefeated Louisville. "Right now all I'm saying he is won't play this weekend."
University police Sgt. Richard
When he was arrested, Norwood refused to give police his name, date of birth and other standard information, Hermann said. Norwood did not physically resist the officers but did not cooperate with instructions, Herrmann said.
Herrman said Norwood was among two groups of people involved in an argument in a parking lot south of the university's student union. When the groups were asked to leave, Norwood did not stop shouting at the other group, Herrman said.
Norwood's bond was set at $750. A court date was set for Oct. 31.
Norwood, who often found himself in the ill graces of former coach Bill Snyder, leads the team with 13 catches for 143 yards. The 6-foot-3, 229-pound tight end had 14 receptions total the past two seasons.
"He has been a very big contributor, but we have a lot of players that are ready to step up and that will be our expectation," Prince
said.
Jeron Mastrud, a redshirt freshman from Beaverton, Ore., was listed as the starter on the depth chart released Tuesday. Michael Poorschke, a junior college transfer from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, was listed as the back up.
The timing couldn't be much worse for Kansas State, which welcomes the highest-ranked nonconference opponent to Bill Snyder Family Stadium since No. 6 Texas A&M — then members of the Southwest Conference — defeated the Wildcats 10-6 in 1975.
But Louisville will also be without two of its top offensive weapons in running back Michael Bush and quarterback Brian Brohm. Bush broke his leg in the Cardinals' season-opener against Kentucky and will miss the rest of the season, while Brohm will miss at least a month while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right (throwing) hand.
RYDER CUP
U.S. golfers have fun with bad weather
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
STRAFFAN, Ireland — There are times when the Americans just can't win, such as the Ryder Cun.
And sometimes, they don't even have to wait for the matches to get under way.
The weather turned so nasty Wednesday morning, with 40 mph gusts that toppled a few trees and brought the rain sideways, that The K Club was closed to the public for nearly three hours. U.S. captain Tom Lehman sent his players back to bed, and only later did both teams believe it best to play for thousands of spectators who eventually got onto the course.
But it was no time to take golf seriously, not with the wind blowing the ball all over the place.
Lehman fulfilled a prediction he made in February by creating what was believed to be the first "twelvesome" game in Ryder Cup history, his entire team playing nine holes on a gravel, miserable afternoon.
But there was a twist.
They worked on their short game, starting each hole from about 120 yards away. The gallery wasn't aware of this, so when Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and the rest of the Americans walked from the fourth green, past the fifth tee and kept marching down the middle of the fairway, the Ryder Cup got its first dose of booing.
"You don't give a damn about Ireland's public," shouted one man behind the tee, and hundreds of others nodded.
Another man asked Jim Furyk to stop for a picture. He walked over
to man's wife, put his arm on her shoulder and posed with a smile.
Lehman later asked for a mulligan.
He realized his squad should have performed at least on the first tee, where the grandstands were packed with people. And when he caught up with his team on the seventh hole, he told them to tee off on No. 9, the only drives they hit all day.
"We walk down the first hole to about 120 yards short of the green and started from there, and kind of left everybody sitting in the stands by the first tee waiting." Lehman said. "That was a mistake. We should have hit a tee shot at least on the first hole. To all of those fans left waiting, I apologize. That was my mistake."
Walking back toward the fairway, Furyk said, "I guess we're just the ugly Americans."
There's always something at the Rvder Cun.
Woods riled the English fans at The Belfry four years ago when captain Curtis Strange allowed him to practice at 6 a.m., as he normally does, finishing about the time fans were just showing up.
Last time outside Detroit, the Americans were criticized by their own gallery for not signing autographs during the practice rounds. There was a policy against autographs, which the Europeans gladly violated with hopes of winning favor on foreign soil, and it worked.
Lehman's apology was sincere, but he had no regrets about what unfolded on The K Club.
Furyk recently described the Americans as looking "constipated" when they get to the Ryder Cup, but
not on this day. Asked to describe what kind of game it was, Scott Verblank replied, "Fun."
It was quite a scene, the 12 Americans and their caddies on the same green, all dressed in black rain suits of an appropriate color.
Each player put $100 into the pot on each hole, and formed teams for an alternate-shot match that started within about pitching wedge range except on the par 3s. In case of a tie, there was a chip-off on each hole to determine the winner.
Verplank and David Toms were formidable, although don't read too much into that pairing.
Verplank won a chip-off on the third by pitching from a knoll beyond the green, over a bunker to within a foot. On the next hole, the par-5 fourth, the players started from 240 yards away, and Woods, Furyk and Brett Wetteridge were the only players to reach in two. No matter: Toms chipped in for eagle and the other guys missed their putts.
The drama came at the par-4 seventh, a peninsula green.
Not only did Lehman have them stop short of the pond, they had to skip the ball off the water and over the rocks rimming the green, similar to a tradition during practice at the Masters.
Verplank hit a masterful shot that skipped off the water, over the rocks and banged hard enough into the slight slope that it rolled about 20 feet away from the pin. J.J. Henry and Zach Johnson hit shots that plopped and sank. Chad Campbell was last to hit, and he skipped it over and up to within 3 feet. Wetterich, his partner, knocked in the putt with the entire team watching.

Walking back toward the fairway, Furyk said, "I guess we're just the ugly Americans."
Lehman later asked for a mulligan.
He realized his squad should have performed at least on the first tee, where the grandstands were packed with people. And when he caught up with his team on the seventh hole, he told them to tee off on No. 9, the only drives they hit all day.
Verplank won a chip-off on the third by pitching from a knoll beyond the green, over a bunker to within a foot. On the next hole, the par-5 fourth, the players started from 240 yards away, and Woods, Furyk and Brett Wetterich were the only players to reach in two. No matter: Toms chipped in for eagle and the other guys missed their putts.
- "We walk down the first hole to about 120 yards short of the green and started from there, and kind of left everybody sitting in the stands by the first tee waiting." Lehman said. "That was a mistake. We should have hit a tee shot at least on the first hole. To all of those fans left waiting, I apologize. That was my mistake."
It was quite a scene, the 12 Americans and their caddies on the same green, all dressed in black rain suits of an appropriate color.
Verplank and David Toms were formidable, although don't read too much into that pairing.
The drama came at the par-4 seventh, a peninsula green.
Not only did Lehman have them stop short of the pond, they had to skip the ball off the water and over the rocks rimming the green, similar to a tradition during practice at the Masters.
Last time outside Detroit, the Americans were criticized by their own gallery for not signing autographs during the practice rounds. There was a policy against autographs, which the Europeans gladly violated with hopes of winning favor on foreign soil, and it worked.
There's always something at the Ryder Cup.
Each player put $100 into the pot on each hole, and formed teams for an alternate-shot match that started within about pitching wedge range except on the par 3s. In case of a tie, there was a chip-off on each hole to determine the winner.
Verplank hit a masterful shot that skipped off the water, over the rocks and banged hard enough into the slight slope that it rolled about 20 feet away from the pin. J.J. Henry and Zach Johnson hit shots that plopped and sank. Chad Campbell was last to hit, and he skipped it over and up to within 3 feet. Wetterich, his partner, knocked in the putt with the entire team watching.
Furyk recently described the Americans as looking "constipated" when they get to the Ryder Cup, but
Lehman's apology was sincerely, but he had no regrets about what unfolded on The K Club.

BIG EAST FOOTBALL
South Florida to bring top QBs
Bulls come with Big East Offensive Player of the Week, experienced senior
BY SHAWN SHROYEF
"If you've got a quarterback that can run a little bit, for a defense, it's just that much tougher, because he can throw and he can run also," Leavitt said. "That helps the offense. Whether it helps him or not, those are the strengths that he has and we're using them."
Leading the Bulls' offense is freshman quarterback Matt Grothe. He is coming off of a three-touchdown, 300-yard passing and 70-yard rushing performance last week that earned him Big East Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Eleven years ago, Jim Leavitt and Mark Mangino coached on the same sideline as assistants at Kansas State. Saturday they will coach on the same field again, but this time on opposite sidelines.
"When I look back on those years, I look back on it with fondness," Mangino said. "Who would have known that all these guys on one staff would, one time or another, be head coaches or coordinators? Who would have thought? We were just trying to survive."
The two parted ways in 1996 when Leavitt became the first head football coach in South Florida history. Years after the two helped resurrect Kansas State football, Mangino thought of how far they had come.
Although defense was Leavitt's specialty as an assistant coach, his offense is South Florida's strength.
As of Tuesday, Kansas players had yet to look at film of Grothe, but Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young said they knew what to expect. Young said Grothe reminded him of Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kinsmon Lancaster, who passed for 377 yards and rushed for 30 more against Kansas two weeks ago.
Grothe also has a flair for the dramatic. In the past two weeks he has thrown game-winning touchdown passes with less than 3:30 to go in the game. But in the event
that Gothe is shaken by his first collegiate game outside the state of Florida, the Bulls have a proven veteran behind him in senior Pat Julmiste. He has started 23 games during the past three seasons and has seen
cent of the time, but they have three reliable targets to go to when they pass. Senior wide receiver Ean Randolph and sophomore wide receivers Taurus Johnson and Marcus Edwards have combined for 416 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
South Florida has a veteran defense, packed with nine upperclassman, that has forced seven turnovers this season, but has struggled to shut down opposing offenses early in games.

limited action this season.
JIM LEAVITT South Florida football coach
Either quarterback will pose as much of a threat running the ball as the running backs behind them, no matter which one starts. Grotte and Juliste have combined for 236 rushing yards while South Florida's top three running backs have combined for 228.
McNeese State scored 10 points on South Florida in the first half. Florida International and Central Florida, which have a combined 1-5 record, scored a combined 30 first-half points against South Florida.

The Bulls run the ball 58 per
Nevertheless, the Bulls have playmakers at
Freshman defensive end George Selvie and Ben Moffitt lead the team with 20 tackles apiece. Selvie also leads with 5.5 tackles for losses and 2.5 sacks. Senior strong safety Jeremy Burnett leads the team with 19 tackles and also has three pass breakups on the season. Moffitt,
junior linebacker, and senior Pat St. Louis anchor the linebacker corps with 37 combined tackles. St. Louis injured his elbow last week, but Leavitt said he would be ready to go Saturday.
"He banged his elbow, so he's sore, but he's okay," Leavitt said. "You're not going to keep Patrick out of any games."
As far back as Leavitt and Mangino go, Mangino said their relationship didn't play a part in the scheduling of Saturday's game — however, bragging rights will be on the line.
"Jim has done a fantastic job there, starting that program from scratch," Mangino said. "The university has made a commitment to put in resources and making it a Division I program and I think they have the right guy with Jim."
South Florida notes:
South Florida will be without three players for the fourth straight week. Sophomore running back Ricky Ponton, sophomore defensive end Josh Julmite and junior wide receiver Jackie Chambers were suspended for the first six games of the season for testing positive on a second drug test.

Some players step up and take blame for mistakes
LINCOLN, Neb. — Three days after Nebraska's loss to No.2 Southern California, some of the Cornhuskers are stepping up and taking the blame.
While the 28-10 defeat can't be pinned on one aspect or one position and plenty of positive things came out of the trip to Los Angeles, NU's offensive line has confessed to some mistakes.
The speed and talent of the Trojans' defense were only some of the problems on Saturday night as the Huskers struggled to gain yardage on many of their running plays.
"We didn't block well enough at the first level or the second level over the course of the game to do what we wanted to do in
NU offensive coordinator Jay Norvell said each running back's goal was to gain at least 4 yards on every carry, something that they didn't accomplish against USC as the Huskers averaged only 1.9 yards per carry.
the game, Norvell said. "That was basically the bottom line.
"They did a good job at their linebacker position. Those kids are real active guys. We learned from this game and we'll build on it."
NU senior left guard Greg Austin said the issue was execution.
Even though NU's O-line was working without three-year starter Kurt Mann, who is out with a virus, Austin said the play of junior Brett Byford was an even exchange.

Jayhawks win after an attempted Aggie shot goes out of bounds in game five

Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, executes a dig against Texas &M during Wednesday night's match.
BY DREW DAVISON
The volleyball team has never opened Big 12 Conference play losing three straight games, under coach Ray Bechard.
That streak was in jeopardy Wednesday, but Kansas held off Texas A&M in an exciting five-game match at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Bechard knew how bad a loss would be for his team.
"It would have been devastat
ing," he said. "We could take a lot from tonight but we needed a win."
The Jayhawks got the victory, defeating the Aggies in five games (28-30, 30-26, 30-28, 29-31 and 17-15).
"I thought we were going to win, I thought they were going to win, then we won," Beachard said. "That pretty much is it right there."
The match ended when Aggie freshman outside hitter Mary Batis went for a kill, with the ball landing a foot outside the line.
"I give her a lot of credit," Emily Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter, said. "She's a freshman taking a big swing at a big time and that's very gutsy. Luckily, it went out of bounds."
Coming into the match, Texas A&M (7-4, 0-3 Big 12) and Kansas (8-4, 1-2) were win-less in conference play.
Once A&M hit the ball out of bounds, the Jayhawks were ecstatic, staying on the court to sing the
alma mater.
"Oh my God, it was the best feeling ever," said Jana Correa, senior outside hitter.
Brown and Correa led the Jayhawks with 24 kills each. Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, had a career-high 22 kills.
Serving, or Kansas' lack of it, gave A&M the edge in the first game.

Oklahoma President hypocritical about BCS

BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNN@KANSAN.COM
School presidents care about their teams winning college football games? I don't believe it.
I thought all they cared about was the integrity of the game, their students getting a quality education and boosting their rankings in US News and World Report. while the rest was just a bonus. They wouldn't care if their team lost a non-conference game because of referee mistakes. They wouldn't insist that the game be stricken from the record books. They wouldn't be so irate that they would go on a public rant after week three of the college football season. Would they?
That is exactly what University of Oklahoma president David Boren did. He wrote a letter to Big 12 Conference commissioner Kevin Weiberg demanding that Oklahoma's loss to Oregon be forgotted, all because the officials botched two calls, which were both reviewed and still missed: An illegal onside kick by Oregon and a pass interference against Oklahoma that shouldn't have been called because on Oklahoma defender tipped the pass. The two calls severely hindered Oklahoma's chances to win the game.
I understand that the replay official made a terrible mistake and should never be allowed to ref a game at the Division I level again. It is still ridiculous for Boren to have the conference even consider magically forgetting this game. That would set a terrible precedent for all of college athletics in the future, because every university president, athletics director and coach could insist that a game not count.

Freshman soccer player's scoring key to title pursuit
BY MARK DENT
Winning games and scoring goals are important to Monica Dolinsky, but the freshman forward would rather skip right to the celebration.
Don't worry, Dolinsky doesn't drive an old van with bars over the windows or carry one of those oversized nets often seen in cartoons.
"I like to bring the dogs to the pound." Dolinsky said.
Dollinsk has been able to bring plenty of dogs to the pound this season as she has helped the Kansas soccer team to a 5-2-0 record by tieing for the team's lead in scoring.
"It's just a little handshake," she said. "When someone does something good, you bring the dogs to the pound."
The Jayhawks didn't have to wait very long for Dolinsky to score her first goal this fall. Kansas struggled early in its first game of the season against Furman. A halftime pep talk from Kansas coach Mark Francis led Dolinsky to deliver her first goal. She scored five minutes into the second half to give the Jayhawks the boost they needed to win the game.
Teammates have continued to find
"Any time Monica gets around the box, she's dangerous," Francis said. "I would anticipate her scoring more goals."
Dolinsky open this season, and she has put the ball between the posts. She has scored goals against Furman, Saint Mary's, Alabama and Duke for a total of four so far this year.
If Dolinsky does put more numbers up on the scoreboard, she could score more goals than any freshman in school history. Depending on how
many games the Jayhawks play, Dolinsky's four goals in seven games puts her on pace to tie the freshmen school record of 12 goals. Her nine points — four goals and one assist — also put
Dollinsky cares so much for the Jayhawks because she barely got to experience a real team environment in high school. The Carmel, Ind. native only played for her high school team during her senior year after playing for an Ohio club team during her first three years.
Lack of team bonding in high school motivates Dolinsky to make up for lost time. Freshman dance parties before every game highlight the team chemistry that Dolinsky

"I haven't even really thought about that," Dolinsky said. "The main priority is to keep winning as a team and for me to keep doing things for the team."
enjoys.
"We just play a few funny songs and dance a little," Dolinsky said. "We always hang out off the field and that carries over onto the field."
Dolinsky's presence on the
field has been crucial for her teammates. Two of the biggest goals of the season involved Dolinsky. Nationally ranked Duke held a 3-2 advantage against Kansas late in the second half of the Sept. 10 game. Dolinsky had a perfect opportunity to tie the
"I've been really fortunate with how the rest of the team has been playing," Dolinsky said. "We play for one another and that's why we've been successful."
Dolinsky's goal-scoring ability could help the Jayhawks achieve their goal of winning the Big 12 title, but she said the key was playing together.
The victory against Duke was Dolinsky's favorite experience of the season, but she said the team was not ready to relax.
game with a free kick just outside of the box. Her shot hit the crossbar, but that didn't rattle Dolinsky. She responded five minutes later with the equalizer and assisted freshman forward Shannon McCabe's game winner shortly after that.
If Dolinsky continues to play well and lead the team to success, she can count on at least one thing: She'll have to bring several more dogs to the pound.

My prince charming has dark-ish hair and light eyes. He is passionate about something... bikes, computers, painting, his job... something. He is musically talented and when he was in high school, he was labeled a freak.Today, he's secure in his plan for the future, and he's someone I could bring home to Mom (ie. no visible tattoos).
I have a list — a short compilation of the traits I (currently) find most attractive.
Shallowness is one explanation for my mental list of "requirements."Female choice theory is another:I'm looking for a guy who will pass the best traits on to my children. It could also be that my subconscious ability to pick up on a guy's genetic makeup has led me to men who look (and act) like the aforementioned prince.
On page five, Megan Heffley provides a breakdown of how genes affect my list — and yours. According to her, I'm not so shallow after all.

I'VE BEEN DATING A GIRL FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS NOW, AND I REALLY LIKE HER. I ALSO HAVE A COLLECTION OF PORN THAT I'VE BEEN HIDING FROM HER. I THINK I'M READY TO TELL HER ABOUT MY PORN, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Chris: Tyler, you're not thinking of the future. Let's say you show it to her and she's horrified; she breaks up with you for being a pervert. Or, even worse, let's say she likes it. It won't take her long to realize that your "two minutes of heaven" could be much, much longer and fulfilling. If she decides to stay with you, then she's going to throw out the porn. Then when she finally comes to her senses and breaks up with your perverted ass, what are you left with? No porn, that's what. Remember, love and relationships are fleeting; porn is forever. Porn is never too tired, never has a headache, never finds you unattractive because you've put on some weight, lost your job and have
to move back in with your mother. (Screw you, Valerie!)
Porn never says "NoL," which is exactly what you should tell yourself if you're ever tempted to reveal your secret stash again.
— TYLER, SOPHOMORE
Niloofar: Is your girlfriend a Catholic priest? It'd make for a fantastic episode of Jerry Springer, but I'm going to assume you answered no, which leads me to ask... why the confession? The majority of girls realize that almost every guy has some sort of secret stash, if not in the form of a literal box o' porn, then in the form of a password-protected file on his PC. Just because it's there, doesn't mean it needs to be talked about. Now, if you think you might have an
addiction, then you have a real problem. An addiction means you're skipping class to watch Forrest Hump. Would you rather stay at home with Saving Ryan's Privates, than go out and socialize? Do you need to watch Rambone in order to bone? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you need help of a caliber that I cannot provide in 200 words or less. If you answered no, then you're probably OK. She may even agree to an adult Blockbuster night. But if I assumed wrong, and she is in fact a Catholic priest, then start saying your Hail Marys, for you have sinned.
If you think you may be addicted to porn, visit no-porn. com or porn-free.org.
I HAVE BEEN DATING THIS GIRL FOR A LITTLE MORE THAN THREE YEARS NOW. SHE AND MY BEST FRIEND/ROOMMATE DON'T GET ALONG AT ALL. IN FACT, THEY ARGUE QUITE A BIT. HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS WITHOUT LOSING EITHER ONE OF THEM?
Chris: You think of this as a problem? If this roommate is really your best friend, then you shouldn't worry about losing him. And as long as your girlfriend is arguing with him and not you, I don't see a problem. This guy sounds like the ultimate wingman. He fights with your girlfriend, you get the make-up sex. You should try to get him to take on the other negative aspects of the relationship as well. Get him to take her shopping, make him watch Grey's Anatomy or whatever other filth your lady friend finds entertaining. When she wants to talk about her day, find your roommate. Hell, introduce him to her
parents. Without this guy, I seriously doubt you two would have lasted three months, much less three freaking years. The fact that you can't see what an unbelievable blessing this arrangement is makes me think that you don't deserve either of these people in your life. Get it together, man.
Niloofar: Has either one given you an ultimatum? A "get rid of her or I'm moving out?" or an "are you picking your best friend over me"? If not, then what's the problem? As long as they're not bitching to you about each other then let it go. If they are, that's when you say something like, "Look,
— FRED, JUNIOR
Bob is my best friend, and I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't talk like that about him. I realize you two don't get along, but he's a good guy, and I don't want to hear that." Their job is to be respectful of your choices, including who you choose to associate with. You don't need anyone's approval. Your job is to respect that they don't have to like each other.In fact, you should keep them apart when possible. This is made more complex by the fact that your best friend is also your roommate, but perhaps you and your girlfriend could try to hang out at her place more often. If that's not an option, the Super 8 Motel is always open.

Sexy. Slammin' Hot. Phat. Smokin'. Handsome. And, yes, even bootylicious. These are the words people wish others would use to describe them. Yet, how do people determine what is sexy? Is it chiseled cheek bones or luscious lips? The answer to this question lies in the jeans — er, genes.
Studies show that people typically choose mates, sometimes subconsciously, that will successfully produce offspring. Factors in physical appearance will lead to feelings of attraction that are far beyond a person's realm of thinking. Estrogen and testosterone are not just the hormones that produced the body parts that shocked us in bath tubs with our siblings, but they also say a lot about attractiveness to the other sex. This attractiveness is directly related to fertility.
Not just a pretty face
Hormones play an enormous role in the way that our face is shaped. Estrogen, the female hormone, halts growth in facial formation in the lower face, making that cute, petite chin. This makes her eyes and lips more prominent. Testosterone, the male hormone, continues this process making that strong jaw line and more prominent brow.
Full lips in a woman signify higher levels of estrogen and make women more attractive to men. Many women use makeup to enhance the estrogen-enhanced features of their face. This would explain why women are buying lip plumping lipstick that makes them look like Angelina Jolie. However, making yourself look like a paint-by-number can cause a reverse effect. "It is really unattractive when someone wears so much make-up that they look like a Barbie doll," says Kyle Weinstein, Overland Park senior.
Scent of a woman... or man
Studies conducted by Dr. Randy Thornhill, evolutionary biologist at the University of New Mexico, found that men
and women were more excited by different smells that were put out by members of the opposite sex.
Men and women can subconsciously detect smells that are associated with something as simple as facial symmetry. "When women are fertile, the scent of men's symmetry smells really good to them," says Thornhill. Facial symmetry is found more attractive to women during ovulation. Symmetry signifies that an individual has better genes and less genetic mutations. Thus, reproduction would be more successful.
The men in Thornhill's study also found that women in their fertile window (the seventh to 14th day of her cycle) smells more attractive than women who were not. However, women
who were taking hormone contraception did not because the hormones keep her from ovulating (sorry girls, you smell
"WHEN WOMEN ARE FERTILE,
THE SCENT OF MEN'S SYMMETRY
SMELLS REALLY GOOD TO THEM,"

the same all month long).
During ovulation, women found that men with more testosterone to be more attractive. This is why Colin Ferrell's chiseled face and Matthew McConaughey's rugged looks seem more attractive at certain times of the month than others. "When women are fertile, they are looking for genetic quality," says Thornhill. More masculine qualities show better genes
and thus are more desirable to a fertile woman.
In the long run
Once the raging hormones of ovulation calm down, Thornhill says that women are actually more attracted to men with more estrogen than during the fertile window. These men have proven to be better "relationship" types. These men are more romantic and a better investment in the long run. Men with more testosterone don't tend to be good with feelings and showing emotion. In other words, they won't cry at the movie on your date.
When looking for long term relationships, men tend to date younger women. As women age, they produce less "woman juice" and lose fertility and the features that men find attractive. Before, you girls say "shallow bastards."
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/MICHELLE GRITMAN while reading this, keep in mind that it is an unconscious thought process that is indicative of successful reproduction.Women even do things to promote a more youthful look besides plumping their lips."I used blue eyeliner to make my eyes look greener,"says Meredith Kuzanek, Overland Park senior.
Jeans or genes?
Whether you believe what the scientists say, it's fairly clear that attraction is a major component to choosing a potential mate. Looks are the first impression that is made in meeting someone for the first time. So next time you notice how good someone's butt looks in those jeans, remember why you might think so. You may find yourself a little more reserved.

DON'T LOOK DOWN
by Caleb Regan
Rock climbing at the Rec
I was standing at the base of the KU Recreation Center rock climbing wall, looking 42 feet upward at the small cow bells that dangle atop each route of holds. Holds are your alies — small, irregularly shaped fixtures on the wall that you grab onto with your hands and push off of with your feet.
My nerves set in right away My hands started sweating and my face felt hot, almost like I was embarrassed.
Man, I thought, It looks a lot higher when you're standing at the bottom. That's a long way to climb.
I was nervous when I arrived, but I thought the climbing would not be that difficult. As someone who had never climbed before, I didn't even know how to put on a safety harness. I didn't want to look clueless.In retrospect I didn't need to worry about that. Ian Johnson, Lindsborg senior and the person who would belay me, was awesome about showing me how to hook everything up to the harness.
The rock climbing wall at the Rec Center is different from other universities around Kansas in that it is free with a valid KU identification card, and it doesn't require belay certification before
you can climb. It took 10 minutes for me to go down the stairs to the Outdoor Pursuit desk, check out a harness and climbing shoes and walk to the wall. The ease with which students can try this activity, coupled with the free use, makes the rock wall a great recreational outing.
No prerequisites
The University of Missouri, the University of Colorado
at Boulder and the University of Nebraska all require belay certification before students can attempt to climb on their rock walls. To belay means to secure someone by rope. The belay is anchors you while climbing. The rope is secured with a figure-eight knot to the front of your harness, then runs up to the top of the wall, through an anchor point and passes back down where it runs through a latch that another person, certified to belay, tightens and loosens depending on what movements
you need to make as you negotiate the wall.
Outdoor Pursuits offers belay
certification which only takes about one hour. For beginners who want to try the wall out, the certification is not necessary.
"Our belay certification is more based towards the regular climbers, so that they can

know how our belay system works and balay on their own with their friends," says Mike Dickey, Outdoor Pursuits coordinator.

"I climbed for the first time a week and a half ago and I've been here every single night since then. It's free. It's a blast." James
Another enticing aspect of the Rec Center's rock wall is that it's free. At the University of Missouri you have to pay $30 for an annual pass after belay certification to climb. It's $35 annually at the University of Colorado. This is a big draw for most beginning climbers at KU.

town fairs — the ones with the big red pad underneath that run at a 45 degree angle, where you try desperately to reach the bell so you can get a Chick-a-Stick. This wasn't for the candy, like it used to be, but it was a challenge met.
"It's the same as getting addicted to wrestling or weight lifting. If you're used to competing in high school and come to college and don't do a sport, you have to have something to challenge yourself." Trey Greenleaf, Derby freshman
says. Along with Kritenbrink, the challenge of the wall has made Greenleaf an avid climber ever

The challenge
About three quarters of the way up the wall, my forearms were tight from pulling myself up the holds, and the joints in my hands felt arthritic as fatigue set in. I thought about how out of shape I was. But when I rang the bell at the top, it reminded me of those little rope-ladder setups at small
since he tried the wall a couple of weeks ago.
What's more, climbers control how challenging they want the wall to be. There are six sets of color coordinated holds, each representing a different skill level. From beginner
to expert, there is no reason to be intimidated, unless you just don't like looking down from 42 feet up in the air.
The next time you're looking for an inexpensive activity to try, think about visiting the Rec Center's rock wall. If you like it, you've found a new hobby that will give you a good upper body workout.If climbing's not for you, you've wasted very little time

RECIPE OF THE WEEK GUACAMOLE DIP
Have you ever seen a server make guacamole at your table for your viewing entertainment?
"Guacamole Live," served at On The Border, 3080 Iowa St., is just that. The dip is relatively easy to make, says Donna Evans, service manager at On The Border. All you need is two fresh avocados, some cilantro,
jalapeño, diced tomato, diced onion, salt and a squeeze of lime. You can add the ingredients in any amount according to your taste. Scoop the avocado out of it's peel using a spoon and use a fork to mash the ingredients together for a tasty dip with tortilla chips.

MIND YOUR MANNERS
On a dinner date there are serious no-nos on the menu if you want to be asked out again.
Avoid anything that cannot be gracefully eaten with a knife and fork, according to The Fabulous Girl's Guide to Decorum, by Kim Izzo and Ceri Marsh. Stringy pastas,
sandwiches that leave pieces of meat or cheese hanging from your mouth and anything that doesn't come in bite sizes should be considered messy. And, of course, make sure you swallow before taking another bite.

CONVENIENT COOKING

Get your recipe and shopping list off the package
I'm more Papa Murphy than Martha Stewart — I'm busy, I'm tired, I'm too unorganized to dig through my cookbooks for new recipes and I never remember to take my shopping list or downloaded recipes with me to the grocery store. I'm in a cooking rut, making the same recipes I know by heart over and over again, or I order pizza, heat up frozen dinners and hit drive thrus. But the recipes printed on product packages can make even someone like me feel a little bit Betty Crocker — just throw the bag of noodles, can of soup or box of cereal into the cart and walk up and down the aisles grabbing the necessary ingredients off the shelves.
In addition to the classic Rice Crispy treat recipe on the back of the cereal box or on marshmallow bags, you'll find recipes on products throughout the grocery store. Many cans of soup, jars of sauce, cake mixes, pasta packages and rice boxes also have recipes printed on their labels, providing a quick and easy way to shop for ingredients and whip up a home-cooked meal. I grabbed a bag of TVP (texurized vegetable protein) in the health section of Hy-vee, 4000 West Sixth St., and discovered a recipe for vegetarian red beans and rice printed on back. It had a few too many ingredients for an instant-gratification person like me, but it's good to know that when I'm ready to dive into the world of texurized vegetable protein, I'll know where to find a recipe.
The recipe for fettuccine with shrimp, tomatoes and basil printed on the Al Dente brand of spinach fettuccine noodles from the health section was a bit more complex, requiring a pound of peeled, raw shrimp, black olives, fresh basil, garlic.
Campbell's mushroom soup cans offer a quick and easy chicken recipe on back (throw three to four skinless chicken breasts into a baking dish, pour on the can of soup and cover and bake for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees) and promise five more recipes on the inside of the label. This recipe literally took less than four minutes to whip up and cost me about $3 for ingredients. Add a salad, steamed vegetable or rice on the side and you get a welcome break from Pizza Shuttle.
tomatoes, shredded parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper, but within about 20 minutes, I had another meal that took less time than driving to Taco Bell and set me back about $15 for four servings. This recipe, like many others found on packaging labels, can easily be converted to vegetarian by simply leaving out the seafood, which would have saved me $8.
FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP, TOMATOES AND BASIL

Walker, Health Market Manager for Hy-vee. She still uses a recipe for chicken and rice that she found on the back of a Campbell's mushroom soup label, but she substitutes lower sodium soup brands such as Amy's brand or Healthy Choice. In addition to selling more of a product by including a recipe on the label, companies often include some of their other products in the list of ingredients, Walker says.
Libby's brand of canned pumpkin has provided its "Famous Pumpkin Pie" recipe on cans since 1950, and the list of ingredients includes the company's Nestlé Carnation.
brand of evaporated milk.Libby's now provides the free pie recipe and more than 500 other recipes on its Web site,verybestbaking.com. The company has been making the canned pumpkin since 1929 with its own Dickinson variety of pumpkin,says Megan Globek, customer service representative for Libby's. She answers calls about the product and recipes and says that call volume increases dramatically over the holiday cooking season when pumpkin pies start gracing the tables at holiday events and customers have questions about
the Libby's products.
Valerie Moreau, grant specialist at the KU Center for Research, says that in addition to using recipes found on packages, she sends off for the freerecipe books that companies like Bisquick, Campbell's and Spam offer on their packaging. "Generally, they've been tried and tested in their own kitchens," says Moreau of these recipes. Although she also uses recipes from other sources, she says that recipes she finds on packages are usually quick, easy and good.
When you're sick of frozen pizza or if you get a craving for some home cooking, you may want to check out some of the recipes you find on labels at your favorite grocery store. It may be a great way to find dishes you've enjoyed at home, like the green bean casserole recipe my mom used to make from a can of French's brand French Fried Onions.
Martha Stewart may not be impressed with recipes from the shelves of Lawrence grocery stores, but Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima would approve.

Two KU students' trip to Lebanon ends due to international conflict.
VACATION
EVACUATION
DD
At 5:45 a.m. things are getting crazy. A fight is breaking out. With no room to move, people are pushing and bumping into each other. Children are crying and people are passing out in the 90-degree heat. The Red Cross can't get through to help. Thousands of people stand between two KU students and their chance to escape from chaos into the protective hands of the U.S. military. If they cut in line, 500 people will yell. Everyone wants to leave first.
Marla Aboujawdeh, Overland Park senior, and her sister Laina, Overland Park freshman, have spent every summer in Lebanon for the past 15 years. The family owns an apartment in Broumaa Lebanon, five miles north of Beirut, where their father was born and raised and where his extended family lives today. On June 29 this year, Marla and Laina left for their usual getaway to visit family, entertain guests and party. "We $ \mathbf{10}\Rightarrow $ JAYPLAY 09.21.2006

It did escalate. Imagine a place with green cedar trees, mountains that rise out of the Mediterranean Sea's beaches and old historical cities right down the map from newer modern ones. This is Lebanon, one of the most beautiful places in the world when it stops being a war zone, says Philo
On July 12, after a day at the beach, the girls sat in their bedroom drinking coffee. Their mother, Pat, walked in. It sounds like Israel is bombing the South, she said. Oh, OK, the girls replied. Whatever. The news went in one ear and out the other. On previous trips, there had been minor fighting in southern Lebanon. "I honestly thought the fighting would be contained and not escalate," Pat says.
Schrodt, professor of political science and international conflict specialist. The conflict this summer, which could really be called war, began on July 12 when Hezbollah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. Hezbollah, a Lebanese Islamic
organization comprised of its own military and political party, is separate from Lebanon's national government. The U.S. and four other countries classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
The next morning, Pat walked into their room again. This time the news was more serious, Israel had bombed the Lebanese airport,
"THEY WERE BOMBING THE SHIT OUT OF BEIRUT. WE COULD FEEL WHEN THEY WERE DROPPING THEM."

it had been quiet for years, things blew up.Literally.
The key issue now is that Israel and Lebanon have been fighting in southern Lebanon for 20 years. Schrodt says, Israel withdrew under a cease-fire In 2000 but Hezbollah was building up an army, and Israel became concerned. Both sides were prepared, and even though

safe from the bombing. Laina says she was scared — not for herself but for the people involved. Unable to sleep, the concerned family went up to watch from the dark roof of their apartment. It was hard to see but the destruction was immediately obvious. Every time the family visits Lebanon, the city lights of Beirut are visible from their roof. Tonight the city was pitch-black. They were bombing the shut out of Beirut. Marla says. "We could feel when they were dropping them."
Southern Lebanon was especially dangerous because it was not a traditional war, says Donald Haider-Markel, associate professor of political science. With Hezbollah spread throughout southern Lebanon, Israel targeted areas in the middle of residential and business districts. Afewsoldiers could easily move Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets, and they would shoot, move a couple, of blocks
and shoot another. The problem was that neither the Lebanese nor the Israelis knew where Hezbollah was operating. Even when troops tried to target their rockets, they could hit civilians.
Friday was hell, Maria says. Israeli troops bombed a power plant, leaving a lot of Lebanon, and the Aboujawdehs, without electricity for 12 hours.The bombing pounded Beirut all day. They could see destruction from the bombing in Broumana in the daytime too. The summer weather turned into a strange, smoky haze. The air became so thick that the Aboujawdehs could hardly go outside. Planes would occasionally fly over as the bombing occurred about every 15 minutes. The family was scheduled to return home on July 17, but with no chance of flying out of Lebanon, the family wanted to get to Syria, to the east. On their own it was too dangerous.

In the past 50 years, Lebanon has been racked with conflict between Christians and Muslims, but that is not what the current conflict is about. In understanding its conflict, it's more important understand the past two years ther than historical context in the middle East, Haider-Markel says, is everything from the war in Iraq, Hamas winning the Palestinian authority, to Syria wanting to assert itself, he says. Hezzballah has been able to sustain itself as separate government inside banon because it is funded and med by Syria and Iran. Historically, he two big powers in the Middle east have been Iraq and Iran. With ug weak and unable to threaten neighbors, Iran and Syria we become stronger. Because banon borders Israel, this is used
as a threat, Halder-Markel says. Facing that threat, having its own soldiers kidnapped and seeing a growing power in Iran, Israel fell to arms.

information and registered their names with the embassy in Beirut. The embassy told them to stay put
not even allowed inside. Outside, things were a mess. Pat, the girls' mother, says she was frustrated with the lack of information they were able to get from the U.S. embassy. "It was like a mob of very frustrated and frightened people wanting information," she says.
Although the family felt uneasy about the lack of
control, they were still safe. Maria was still going out at night, and she says that people were coming
to their town from Beirut. Once the bombing started, however the family was restricted to where they could go. They stopped going to the beach. They stopped going to Beirut. They stopped doing activities outside of their town because places where they used to take trips were being bombed. For the next week they waited in Broumana without word from the embassy.
The idea behind the evacuation was to get people out of southern Lebanon. Foreign governments like France and the U.S. tried to help, but getting civilians to a port or airport was a problem because any movement was dangerous, Haider-Markel says. "My initial guess was that there would have only been a thousand American citizens they needed to take out." Haider-Markel says. "It turned out there was about 10,000 that needed to go." He thinks the embassy also underestimated
A week after the airport was bombed, the family called an aunt in the U.S. for help. The aunt found out from the Department of State that the evacuation was on a first come, first serve. The Navy was shipping U.S. citizens from Beirut to Cyprus, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. The family immediately tried to get on a ship, but it was too late.
the number of American citizens in Lebanon and ended up being completely unprepared.
The next four days were a blur of frustration. The family heard from authorities that about 25,000 Lebanese Americans - were in Lebanon at the time, and Pat says that about 10,000 wanted to leave. At 8:45 a.m. on Friday, July 21 on a bridge in Beirut, the Aboujawdehs could see the USS Trenton Navy transport ship in the water. Two military trucks created a narrow passageway for a mob of people
waiting in unordered anticipation. U.S. Department of State officials were there to assist the Lebanese military, but they were anything but helpful. The Aboujawdeh's evacuation was about to begin.
This is the most violence the area has seen in five or 10 years, Schrodt says. Two things surprised everyone: the extent of Israel's retaliation and how well-armed Hezbollah was. "Israel said, 'Well guess what. If you mess with us, we'll mess with you,' Schrodt says. "It was sort of done on the level of a kindergarten playground but with real bombs. Now, what made the evacuations difficult was that this escalated more quickly than anyone expected."
After standing in line for eight hours, the family boarded a ship that was already full. The next 13 hours were spent on the ship's deck with two or three cots for five people. 09.21.2006 JAYPLAY <11

The plan was to stop at Ramstein Air Base in Germany to refuel and then continue on to McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. However, there was a shortage of pilots, and they were told to expect a seven-hour layover. Marla looked at her sister and said, "Laina, it is a bad day when you get excited about cots."
The U.S. evacuation did seem slow compared to other countries, Haider-Markel says. "Given the deployment of military forces we have in the Middle East right now, naval ships, cargo planes, it wouldn't seem that difficult to me. But there could be things I didn't know," he says.
The family was given ear plugs, but the ride was still too loud to hear. The plane was freezing, and there weren't enough blankets. It was too dim to read, so the Aboujawdehs sat in silence, staring at the faces across the aisle for the five-hour flight. "We got in the plane, and it was a shock," Marla says. "I'll never bitch about a middle seat ever again."
From here the Aboujawdehs were shuffled to "a refugee camp or compound — whatever nice word you have for it," Marla says. They were told to expect a 24- to 36-hour wait. It was 90-some degrees and hard to breathe. There were only three or four bathroom stalls for thousands of people. Everyone had to fend for himself.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
About 3 a.m. the family arrived in Cyprus and once again had to wait in line — for hours.
The family heard that the U.S. would be chartering flights to Baltimore. When their name was called, they could leave. The first set of names was called. Aboujawdhew was not. The girls' father, Henry, approached an official and asked to see the list for Bus 17. The man didn't have the list but told Henry to grab his family right now, and he'd let them on. "We lucked out big time," Marla says.
The bus took them to the Cyprus airport. They were told that the U.S. wanted to use chartered flights but was unable to contract with any airlines during the busy summer tourism season. Instead, the family flew out on a military aircraft that sat about 100 people in mesh, backless seats.
After roughly 48 hours of waiting and using almost every type of transportation, Marla and Laina were finally on their way home early Sunday morning. Exhausted, dirty and relieved, the family was greeted at McGuire by a limousine that their father rented to drive the family to the Philadelphia airport. From there they flew to Kansas City, Mo, where they arrived at 7 p.m. on Sunday, 3 a.m. Monday in Lebanon — 11 days after the bombing started.
FACTURES
Although the American Red Cross is part of the International Red Cross and Red Cross Mission, it does not assist in the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Lebanon the governor has largelyModeled Executive director of the Orleans County chapter of the American Red Cross.
According to an American Red Cross statement on Aug 7, in response to increasing number of humanitarian needs in Lebanon, the American Red Cross has sent an initial $500,000 to the International Committee of the Red Cross (CRC).
It also states "Domestically the American Red Cross has provided support to individuals and families arriving on the U.S."
HISTORY
During the provision of food baskets and aid services, emergency communications, personal aviators and assistance with shelter and care, and medical health monitoring have been provided during the first phase carrying 140 evacuees landed July 20 and Red Cross volunteers have greeting thousands of flights during the past two weeks.
Updates regarding American Red Cross activities and funding are available at www.redcross.org.
WHAT IS THE RED CROSS?
It’s home of life having a state in the U.S. that does what it wants and invites the federal government harder than ever.
The United Nations facilitated an agreement to end the fighting and obtain a cease-fire from Lebanon and Israel Aug. 14, says Haider-Markel. Israeli troops are slowly out of southern Lebanon military peace-keepers are in the. The cease-fire has been used, and there has not been major fighting. The working to prevent Syria from providinghezbollah. It would be helpful this works out, Haider-says. "I think the most outcome will be a sort of as peace for some time," says. "I don't think Hezbollah down their arms because they don't really have a reason
The Aboujawdehs said that American citizens were the last to be evacuated from Lebanon. "I was not impressed by the U.S. or the U.S. Embassy," Laina says. "I was impressed with the U.S. military. I'll give them all the credit."
Hazem Chahime, Tripoli, Lebanon senior, experienced the events of this summer from a different angle. Chahime is a Lebanese American raised mostly in Lebanon. He planned to travel to Lebanon in mid-July to visit friends and family. A couple days before he planned on leaving, his cousins in Beirut called and suggested he not come. Thinking that they were busy and didn't have time for guests, Chahime stayed in Lawrence. Really, Beirut was brewing with tension that spilled over a couple days later.
When the bombing started,
Chahhme" was "calling" home"
every day. He has lost a lot of family members in past conflicts, he says, and with family all over Lebanon, he was scared. His family abroad traveled north to ensure their safety this summer, but Chahime remembers how the fighting could be. "When I was young, I remember my mom used to duct tape the windows in case a shell would fly by," he says.
Lebanon has endured conflict for 50 years, Chahime says, but this time it was a big shock. The saddest part is that most of the construction and progress made in the country, especially by the former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, has been destroyed, he says. Today Beirut looks like post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans — 50 to 60 percent of homes in southern Lebanon have been destroyed, and one million civilians have been displaced, he says. Chahime has friends in Israel and knows that people are unhappy on both sides, but he is relieved by the cease-fire he says. "All the Lebanese people want is peace," he says. "But it's more complicated than that."
In the end, the Aboujawdehs aren't sure if they will return to Lebanon next summer. They need to wait and see what happens with the political scene and the cease-fire.
After the events of this summer Laina's word to KU students is "be aware of what's going on in the world." Americans were familiar with the situation this summer because Americans were there, Laina says. But if Americans weren't there, people wouldn't have been paying attention, she says.

FRENCH 101
"VOULEZ-VOUS COUCHER AVEC MOI, CE SOIR?" DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP WITH ME TONIGHT?
...
— People never use the "vous" form of the pronoun if they are trying to get laid because it's too formal. The irony of the phrase is that it's so forward, yet oh-so-
proper.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A TRUE FRENCH LOVER, SAY "VEUX-TU COUCHER AVEC MOI, CE SOIR?"
"VOUS-AVEZ DU FEU?" DO YOU HAVE A LIGHT?
If someone in France ever asks you this, nine times out of 10 it's not a light they want. This is a culturally specific pick-up line because a lot of people in France
smoke, Bruce Hays, assistant
professor of French, says.

Lawrence goes abroad one night a week
Tonight the upstairs of Henry's on Eighth is easily confused with a European cafe. A light sunny breeze comes through the
windows that look out over Mass Street. Assorted wine bottles line a shelf, and its bookend speakers are the only thing that brings me back to Lawrence as "Sunny Afternoon" by the Kinks softly plays. The dark walls and intimate seating create the perfect at m o s p h e r e for casual conversation. And that's exactly what's going on.

professors and natives meet to talk about everything from 17th century literature to everyday life, en français.
Lawrence's French Table dates back to at least 1952 when David Dinneen,professor emeritus of French and linguistics, was a graduate student. Back then it was held at the Faculty Women's Club, 1300
Louisiana St.The environment was a "very pleasant dining room but not great food and certainly no wine," Dinneen says. The French department expected all graduate students to participate; the only way to get out of going was to be
deathly ill or to have a class at the same time, he says.
Today things are different. With a European assortment of coffee, mixed drinks, beer and wine, The French Table has become a way for students of any level to practice speaking in a casual learning environment that is unique from the classroom.Bruce Hayes, assistant professor of French, has been coming for three years. He enjoys the atmosphere because of the informal setting to talk to students, Hayes says. "It gives students a chance to feel more comfortable. When you feel comfortable you can excel at a foreign language," he says.
The conversation levels and phonetic skills vary from person to person around the small tables. All of the 13 speakers sound more advanced than I am, but I can still follow along especially when there's laughter, a universal language. Most people who attend are advanced speakers or graduate teaching assistants, but beginners
shouldn't be intimidated. Cate Crandell, Overland Park freshman, is a student in Elementary French I, and this was her first time at La Table Française. She's still getting her feet wet in the language but others helped her out by speaking slowly and pronouncing words in a way she could understand.
La Table Francaise is pretty much like home, people having a drink together and talking about the day, says Pauline Jeannin, graduate teaching assistant from Besançon, France.
The sounds, the wine and the atmosphere of La Table Française remind me of my study abroad experience in Paris last summer, but right here in Kansas. Every week 10 to 20 people create a little piece of Europe in downtown Lawrence because they share the same passions for French. "It's just socializing but in a foreign language," Hayes says. After saying au revoir and a bientot, I think I'll come back next week for much more than the $4 top-shelf liquor special.

TOP 10 TRADERS
eBay keeps the cash comin'
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/JARED GAB
One man's trash is another man's treasure. People all over the world have used this theory to become entrepreneurs at the click of a mouse.KU students are taking advantage of the online wonder called eBay.
Luke Thompson, Louisburg sophomore, started selling random items from around his house in ninth grade. He uses eBay as a way to get rid of old junk that he no longer wants like his old Sega Genesis and a retro Houston Oilers lamp. Now that he has cleaned out his closet, Thompson has another strategy. "I usually buy items late at night when nobody else is bidding and then resell them when I get them in, hopefully for a higher price," Thompson says. His method proves to be popular for eBay sellers, EBay helps him earn some extra money to pay rent, but it is not his main source of income, Thompson says.
"A TRADING ASSISTANT BUSINESS IS A GREAT WAY TO WORK AT YOUR DORM DURING COLLEGE, BECAUSE YOU CAN SELL OTHER PEOPLE'S ITEMS AND HAVE NO INVESTMENT OR INVENTORY."
CHRISTOPHER MATTHEW SPENCER, AUTHOR OF THE EBAY ENTREPRENUER AND EBAY TRADING ASSISTANT
However, other students rely on eBay sales to make a living. Peter Tosco, Lee's Summit, Mo., graduate student, would make on average about $1,000-$1,500 a month, working about 20-25 hours a week. "Sometimes during the summer and around the holiday season, I devote more time to eBay sales and make more," he says.
Tosco sells Japanese video games that are hard to find in the U.S. "I have contacts in Japan who could obtain games for me, and I sell these on eBay," Tosco says. This is easier said than done because Tosco must know the Japanese language and market to communicate well. Ebay has dubbed Tosco a "Powerseller," which means he has averaged at least $1,000 a month in sales.
The eBay craze
Pierre Omidyar, a computer programmer in San Jose, started eBay in the basement of his home in 1995. Now the booming online auction site has evolved into a multi-million
dollar business. People who called him a computer nerd in high school are probably kicking themselves, as he is now a millionaire.
Christopher Matthew Spencer began in a modest way too, until eBay changed his life. "I am just a regular guy, I started out with nothing," says Spencer, author of The eBay Entrepreneur and eBay Trading Assistant. Trading assistants make money by selling items for their clients
on eBay. Spencer his business out of high school after selling small items like Pokemon cards on eBay. He would sell small things for a small profit for others. He decided to turn this into a business and expand his clients. His life changed when he sold a rare and valuable Italian Lenci figurine to a buyer in Italy for $17,100.
Do it yourself
Spencer made his life
a success by a few simple networking steps to get his name out. Handing out business cards to everyone you meet and know is a good start, he says. College dorms are a great location for easy networking, Spencer says. "I think that a trading assistant business is a great way to work at your dorm during college, because you can sell other people's items and have no investment or inventory," Spencer says. Plus, college freshmen tend to have worthless items laying around that they thought they might need in college, but never opened. That, my friend, is screaming "eBay item."
So, how can you make money off of eBay, and where can you find the stuff to sell? It's easier
than you might think, Spencer says. "There are many good books on sourcing, but I would suggest trying to buy and sell things that you know well." he says. "A hobby or passion usually gets the best result because you are familiar with the demand, current pricing and trends for items you deal with regularly."
So, pull out your digital camera, take some pictures of some stuff you don't want, or your parents don't want, and sell it on eBay. Spencer started the same way and has now sold more than 17,000 items and has made bank to boot. Sure, it may just be an old Cabbage Patch doll to you, but to someone else, it could be the last piece to a collection.

How's it going?
Fine.
Experiencing loss made me want to change the past. by Lisa Anderson
I last spoke to my father in April 2005. This was four months before he died unexpectedly of a heart attack. He had called to get my big sister Amy's phone number -- it was her 26th birthday. I scrambled for words, lying and telling him that I didn't have it. I knew she wouldn't want him to call.
This, like all of our phone conversations in the 15 years since my parents' divorce, dragged. Awkward silences stretched on for eons and never amounted to anything more than a mind-numbing call-and-response. Call:"Hi, how's it going, what's new?" Response: "Fine, nothing."
Silence.
I felt like we secretly hated each other,like we were actors in a tragic play showing outward images of concern but maintaining underlying themes of hate,unrequited love and destruction.
Our relationship didn't always seem so dreadful. I used to enjoy being with him. After the divorce, my mom received full custody. My older brother Nick
and I would eagerly visit our father on occasional weekends and holidays. Amy was never so eager. Hot summer fishing trips, colorful bowling alleys, glistening swimming pools: these were the times I so eagerly awaited and the images I placed next to his face in my mind.
I couldn't understand the separation between he and my mom and sister because I desperately longed for a relationship with my father. Eventually, however, all the fishing, bowling and swimming dwindled into nothing more than a phone call once every few weeks, a card once every few months and a visit once a year. I gradually became disillusioned. My mind had been filled with negative thoughts toward my dad through my interpretation of my mom's off-putting ideas about him. She'd say he was an asshole but respected me enough to let me form my own opinion. Not only was my mother my closest friend, but she knew my father best. Eventually
to think to myself, "There must be something wrong with him."
As I got older, I also became more aware. I wasn't hiding behind images of him as a perfect father anymore. I was facing up to the fact that I had been in denial.
I began noticing little things first, including his lack of concern for his children. He'd say to me,"Amy's turning 22 soon," with all the excitement that he could muster."That means no more child support." He also attempted to piss off my mom by mailing child support checks late with no explanation.I noticed the pleasure he took in cutting down my mom in front of me, and in taking shots at me after a new haircut or piercing."You are exactly like your sister,"hed grumble spitefully, fully aware of its effect.His comments were something that no teen-angst-ridden girl wants to hear. All of these things had been happening for years, but I had avoided recognizing them.
I felt shame from discovering that I did not
like my father as much as I had thought I did,and disappointment when I realized why.
When I was 17, I went to France with some friends from school. Between exploring the cities, valleys and new foods, I thought of my dad. It was around Father's Day, which I felt guilty for missing. The guilt subsided as excitement grew at the thought of buying him a gift. I bought him an expensive tie in Paris. I loved this tie. It created a work of art with the swirling shades of blue, green and yellow. I knew he would love it too.
Two weeks later I was back in the States and was anxiously meeting him for lunch to give him his gift. We ate. The high hopes I had for our reunion were shattered. Conversation, or lack there of, was painful as usual. He'd ask the only question he seemed to know, "What's new?" I'd respond with a list of drawn-out details just to make the time pass."I just got back from France, I am getting my hair cut today, I'm thinking of getting a puppy."I got his
same old reaction. No inquiry as to how my trip was, how! want my hair done, what kind of puppy I want."You're just like your sister," he said. Typical, hurtful banter.
After the wearisome lunch, in the parking lot of the restaurant he chose (he always chose), I gave him the gift. He pulled the red ribbon from the long, rectangular box and lifted the lid.
I waited.
"I don't even wear ties anymore," he said as he did a once-over on the tie and closed the box. I felt my throat drop into my stomach. I was speechless and couldn't breathe. Not even a thank you? It was at this moment that the world he inhabited in my life came crashing down and when I realized it: I don't like him.
The last time I saw my father was Christmas Day 2004. When he died eight months later, Aug. 16, 2005, I immediately struggled to remember that day. I am learning to deal with the fact that our relationship is over but unresolved. I just wish I could change that fact.

Chancellor's performance earns pay raise
BY KIM LYNCH
Chancellor Robert Hemenway got a raise Wednesday when the Kansas Board of Regents approved salary increases for the leading official at each of the six state universities.
Hemenway received $250,519 in state funding, an increase over his state-paid salary of $240,884 last year. The 4 percent increase is still
Hemenway
well under that national average, Dick Bond, Board of Regents member and chairman of the compensation committee said.
Hemenway can receive an addi-
according to a press release. Last year, he was allowed $307,000 of supplemental income.
tional $319,280 from university endowments to supplement his state income if the funds are available,
Bond said that one of the most important factors in determining the compensation increase was the quality of the officials' performance. Hemenway received excellent performance reviews from the Regents, Bond said.
He said Hemenway was the highest paid official in the University of Kansas because it was a huge undertaking to manage the University and its Medical Center.
Bond said a national education consultant, John Hicks, told him that the salaries for top administrators of the research campuses — the University, Kansas State University and Wichita State University — were well under market value. He said
Hicks was brought in to help with the search for the Emporia State University president.
Bond said one possible reason why Kansas was falling behind in salaries was because it had not been searching for a leading official for some time. He said the top positions had a lot of tenure.
Bond said Hemenway's compensation was considerably under market value.
If the Regents were to replace Hemenway, the market minimum starting salary would be $400,000, he said.
"Kansas is getting a real bargain with Bob Hewenway," Bond said.

ENROLLMENT
Regents releases numbers, scores
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
University of Kansas enrollment is at its second highest level despite declining from last fall, according to the Kansas Board of Regents.
The Board of Regents released its 20th day enrollment report Thursday, which included enrollment figures, minority enrollment and ACT scores for incoming freshmen.
Todd Cohen, University spokesman, said the decrease is statistically insignificant.
The Board of Regents studied six state university enrollment statistics 20 days into the fall semester. Total University enrollment, which includes the Medical Center, is 29,613, down 11 students from last fall. Enrollment at the Lawrence campus is 26,733, down 161 from last fall.
"We're only 11 off of the highest record of enrollment at the University," he said. "Basically there is no change."
Minority enrollment has increased however. According to the Regents records, it has increased 2.3 percent from last fall. Students identify themselves on University records and 12.2 percent identified themselves as Asian, Hispanic,
African-American or American
Indian. Total international enrol-
ment has increased to 5.9 percent
up from 5.6 percent last fall.
"The University has made a major effort to not only recruit a more diverse student body but add offices that will help keep them here," Cohen said.
He said Hawk Link, for example, is an award-winning program that helps students who are the first in their family to attend college.
Cohen said the University was most excited about ACT scores.
He said the ACT company records the national average, which is 21.7. The University average is 24.6, up from 24.4. About a third of the freshmen from the class of 2010 scored 27 or higher out of the 36 points. It is the highest percentage ever, according to University Relations.
"We feel good that we are attracting the best and the brightest." Cohen said.

DANCER MAKES HISTORY
Freshman earns spot as first male on Rock Chalk Dance Team
BY C.J. MOORE
When Kansas plays South Florida on Saturday, fans will see a new face on gameday in Memorial Stadium. But instead of wearing shoulder pads, a helmet and making crunching tackles, Tim Flattery will be decked out in a crimson and blue top and black jazz pants displaying his graceful athleticism with the once all-female Rock Chalk Dance Team.
Flattery, an Onaga freshman, is the first male dancer in the history of the dance team, known
until recently as the Crimson Girls. This Saturday marks his KU debut in front of a stadium full of football fans who have never seen him dance. Tim's mom, Vicki Flattery, realizes fans that are there to see bone-crunching football may react to her son's appearance in a girls dance troupe by asking. "What the hell is that dumb kid doing out there?"
But mom says she knows from past experience that after the male dancer jokes subside and crowds see what Tim can do, they often come away declaring, "That's

Amusement park offers cockroaches to customers
GURNEE, III. (AP) — Why wait in line when you can just eat a cockroach?
That's the question Six Flags Great America is asking thrill seekers during a Halloween-themed FrightFest. The amusement park is daring customers to eat a live Madagascar hissing cockroach in exchange for unlimited line-jumping privileges.
The promotion, which has Lake
County Health Department officials shaking their heads, starts Oct. 7.
Park officials insist it's safe to eat the crunchy critters, but health officials are cautioning participants.
Consuming live roaches might increase risks of gastrointestinal illness and allergies, according to Bill Mays. Lake County Health Department's community health director.
Moose breaks into school while looking for love
MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) — A moose that wandered onto the Northern Michigan University campus and broke a residence hall window might have been looking for love in all the wrong places, a wildlife expert said.
City police chased the animal away after the Tuesday evening incursion at Magers Hall, Detective Capt. Mike Angeli said.
"It's not unusual for a moose to do something like this now," said Dean Beyer, a Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist who has an office at Northern Michigan. "We're in the middle of the (mating) rut right about now.
"Moose, especially a young bull moose, will move long distances," he said. "They could be searching for a cow to mate with, or simply be a young bull dispersing after being chased away from its herd and looking for a new range."
Picture of back of head accompanies obituary
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Artist and retired art professor Jim Schinneler's love of laughter didn't end with his death.
When an obituary for the lifelong jokester appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it was
"It's a family that goes for a little bit of one-upmanship," Jim Schinneller Jr. explained to a Journal Sentinel columnist.
accompanied with a photo — of the back of his head.
He said the family couldn't resist sending it in, giving his dad a chance for one more joke.
Family members said it was just the kind of thing they could expect from Schinneller, a retired professor who died at home Sept. 9 at the age of 81.
"He liked to buck the system," his daughter Diane Colla said. "He enjoyed showing people how absurd life was."
The senior Schinneller's companion, Gloria Bosben, said that she took the photo as a joke.
So he turned around and she snapped the picture outside his suburban Fox Point home. He gave framed copies to each of his four grown children and Bosben's brother two years ago.
"He had just gotten a haircut and it was a sunny day out," she said. "He said, 'I want you to take a picture of the back of my head. I want to give it to the kids for Christmas."

The 14-inch tall red-and-white statue disappeared from Snyder's yard in the spring, and Snyder has since received three letters claiming to have been written by "Gnomey."
The latest letter, which Snyder received this week, included photos of the gnome in the company of Steelers fans attending Pittsburgh's football home opener.
The plight of his gnome has gotten a lot of attention. Snyder said people are always asking if he's heard from Gnomey.
"You never took me to any games," the note said. The letter ended: "Have to go now. Boarding a plane. Now, finally, broadening my travels."

"I never thought it would go this far," he said.
An earlier letter included a request for ball money and included what appeared to be booking photos of Gnomey and another of the gnome in the back seat of a police car.
Watkins reminds students of stricter class note policy
Snyder isn't sure who's pulling the prank but said his suspects includes several gag-loving friends.
Several students have been requesting medical excuses from class at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said Patricia Denning, Watkins chief of staff. She said Watkins stopped granting these "class notes" last August.

Denning said class notes would only be granted if patients had received care or treatment from Student Health Services or had documentation of treatment from another health care provider and they had three or more consecutive days of absence from extended illness or injury.
Denning said Watkins dropped the class note policy in order to improve customer service because students requesting class notes took up physicians' time in dealing with sick patients.

Fake IDs proliferate in fall
Bouncers spot deceptions that use Internet, ingenuity
TOMMY BROWN
Lisa Linovac/KANSAN
David Beck, Tulsa senior, looks over an ID at Liquid, 806 W. 24th St., on Wednesday night. Beck has been working as part of the security team since this summer. If members of the security team think an ID is fake, they ask for a second form of identification.
BY DAVID LINHARDT
Andrew Fennelly sometimes doesn't even need to look closely to check IDs when he works the door at the Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St.
When an underage patron brings in a driver's license with a new birthdate glued onto it — just a slip of paper printed off a computer and glued to the license — then Fennelly shakes his head, takes the fake ID and tells the underage patron to get lost.
Bouncers such as Fennelle, Naperville, Ill., senior, are the first defense against fake IDs. D.J. Gregory, an Alva, Olka, senior who works at It's Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St. said bouncers tended to see more fakes during the fall semester.
The Internet has made it easier for people under 21 to obtain fake IDs to drink or enter certain clubs. Not all fake IDs are equal, though.
Fennelle has been a bouncer at the Ranch for only six months, but he said he'd already seen several "dumb" attempts at getting in with a fake ID.
"Most people trying to get in here underage are just using IDs from older friends." Fennelle said.
He said the silliest attempts happened when IDs showed the person with "a different race than the one in the picture."
Not all fake IDs lend to such obvious mistakes. All bouncers have their own method of figuring out fake IDs, and bars generally train bouncers in the basics.
"Many bad fakes are easy to spot right away," said Jacob Ross, Lawrence senior who also works doors at the Ranch.
When an underage patron uses an older friend's ID and the person happens to look somewhat like the friend, then the decision to let someone in can be tougher, Ross said.
Some bars, like The Wheel, 507
W. 14th St., have a device that takes picture of the ID of each person the bouncer allows into the bar. Kansas law states that if a bar reasonably attempts to check its patrons' IDs then it won't be liable for underage drinkers with convincing fakes.
The law helps protect a bar and the bouncer who made the decision to let someone in. Generally the law doesn't consider bouncers to be experts in deciphering fake IDs, Ross said.
Though bouncers may not be legal experts, they often learn enough street knowledge working doors at popular bars to spot most fakes, he said.
Nick Hergott, Overland Park senior, manages the bouncers at Mickey's Irish Pub in Lenexa. He trains bouncers to spot fakes and even pays his bouncers extra cash when they turn one in.
"You kind of feel like a dick for taking someone's ID," Hergott said. "But it gives you a little incentive" to keep underage drinkers out of the bar.
Initially, a bouncer determines if the person trying to get into the bar is the person in the ID's picture.

Avi Morgenstern will celebrate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, at services this Saturday morning with one major difference — his family won't be with him.
Like other new Jewish students on campus, Morgenstern, Overland Park freshman, will be adjusting to High Holiday celebrations this year as his first away from family since starting college. Morgenstern acknowledges this holiday season might be different.
Jewish groups observe High Holidays
"I think that I will feel a little less obligated to follow as many traditions by myself then I would with my family," Morgenstern said.
Campus and Lawrence Jewish groups offer celebrations to try to bring a bit of home to those students who are away from family. This year, Hillel, the Lawrence Jewish Community Center and the Chabad House all offer services and activities for Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 22 to 24 and Yom Kippur on Oct. 1 and 2. Rabbi Zalman Teichtel, Chabad House director, said this would be the first year that so many organizations would offer celebrations and services geared specifically to just college students.
RELIGION
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Matt Lehrman, Jewish student life coordinator at Hillel, said the organization offered a free dinner at the Burge Union tonight, followed by services at 7:45 p.m. at the Lawrence Jewish Community Center, 917 Highland Drive. Rabbi Teichel said the Chabad House, 1203 W. 19th St., would hold a dinner Friday and morning services at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a holiday buffet.
Teichtel said the High Holidays were an important time in Judaism. Rosh Hashana will signify the beginning of 10 days of judgment ending with Yom Kippur, the day of atonement.
During Rosh Hashana, participants eat sweet foods such as apples and honey for a sweet new year. A shofar, or ram's horn, is also blown to express what Teichtel calls "the cry from the heart of a child to the father in Heaven."
Yom Kippur features a 24-hour fast that concludes in a large feast with family.
The time between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is God's time to consider the state of the universe. Teichel said this time didn't apply just to Jews but also to the rest of the world.
The holidays are used to ask God for a good year and to gather with others who wish to express their Judaic beliefs. Teichtel would he desired that students would find the opportunity to observe the holidays and express their faith on campus without having to travel home.
"Judah allows U-turns" Teichert said. "No matter where you are or who you are, you can always come back and that is really what the High Holidays are all about."

Morgenstern said he planned to attend some of Hillel's services.
"I will most likely enjoy services much more through Hillel than my old synagogue," Morgenstern said. "I will be with my friends, which will help greatly. However, my parents definitely have helped me fast during Yom Kippur and make sure I go to the services."

OUTREACH

Blake Cripps, Topeka senior, reads the TV Guide aoud Tuesday afternoon at Audio-Reader, 1120 W. 11th St. Audio-Reader provides free recordings of a wide variety of printed materials to the visually impaired, blind and print disabled over closed-circuit radio and on the telephone. Audio-reader is having its annual audio equipment sale this weekend to raise money for its services.
Sale starts 'For Your Ears Only'
Proceeds from event benefit free Audio-Reader program
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
The University of Kansas will be home to one of the Midwest's biggest audio sales this weekend.
"For Your Ears Only", a benefit for the Audio-Reader program, which will be celebrating its 35th anniversary this fall, will be today and Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds and will feature more than 10,000 items.
Money raised through the sale will help Audio-Reader, a program started at the University, maintain its free services to the visually and print impaired.
Sarah Hemme, Audio-Reader development associate and Perry senior, said that everything from CDs and DVDs to musical equipment and even turntables could be purchased for reduced prices. Hemme said that Audio-Reader accepted pieces from donors for the sale that are new or in slightly used condition.
"Access to information is essential to all individuals and if you can't access information, whether it is the grocery ads, obituaries or the latest selection from Oprah's Book Club, you are isolated," said
Lori Kesinger, Audio-Reader programming manager. "Many of our listeners are newly blind and don't have the knowledge of or access to much of the adaptive aids that exist, so we are one of the first links for them learning how to live with a disability."
The program is a free information and entertainment source. Audio-Reader volunteers read everything from area newspapers to bestselling novels to popular magazines, broadcast through the program's free radios and streaming on the Web.
The program, the second formed in the world, began in 1971 as a means to make print materials more accessible to those who could not see to read them. A similar service in Minnesota was around when Audio-Reader was founded, but the program at the University is the first to be associated with a university.
Audio-Reader grew from a simple vision to a group of strong volunteers. Marissa Massoni, Lawrence freshman, got involved with Audio-Reader as a sophomore at Free State High School. She reads papers from Northwest Missouri for the program.
"Just reading the newspapers
(for the program), I've found out a lot about Kansas and Missouri," Massoni said. "It's great just knowing that I'm helping to connect other people to their community through the community calendar and obituaries in the papers."
Through Internet broadcasts, the programs are now available worldwide.
The organization started the "For Your Ears Only" benefit to help fund these efforts.
The event kicks off at 6 p.m., at the Douglas County Fairgrounds with a James Bond-themed early-bird sale for a jump on the best merchandise before Saturday. The Lonesome Hoboes will perform. Tickets are $5 in advance from Audio-Reader or $7 at the door. The sale continues at 10 a.m. on Saturday with deejays from KJHK and half prices at noon, $5 for a bag of merchandise at 2 p.m. and free giveaways of most items at 3:30 p.m.

WAR ON TERROR
Edited by Erin Wiley
Anti-terror trial law passes President, Congress reach agreement on interrogations
"I'm pleased to say that this agreement preserves the single most potent tool we have in protecting America and foiling terrorist attacks," the president said after the agreement was announced.
The House and Senate are expected to vote next week on the legislation.
BY ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, one of three GOP lawmakers who told Bush he couldn't have the legislation the way he initially asked for it, said the deal "gives the president the tools he needs to continue to fight the war on terror and bring
WASHINGTON - The White House and rebellious Senate Republicans announced agreement Thursday on rules for the interrogation and trial of suspects in the war on terror. President Bush urged Congress to put it into law before adjourning for the midterm elections.
The agreement contains concessions by both sides, though the White House yielded ground on two of the most contentious issues. The Bush administration agreed to drop one provision narrowly interpreting international standards of prisoner treatment and another allowing defendants to be convicted on evidence they never see.
The pact follows more than a week of squabbling among Republicans that had threatened to derail an anti-terrorism agenda put together by the White House and GOP leaders going into the Nov. 7 elections. It was announced at a time when support for Bush's proposal in the GOP-run Congress had been crumbling, but the agreement could lead to enactment of one of Bush's top remaining priorities of the year.
The accord, however, explicitly states the president has the authority to enforce Geneva Convention standards and enumerates acts that constitute a war crime, including torture, rape, biological experiments and cruel and inhuman treatment. White House officials said these provisions would provide the CIA the clarity it needs to continue with the interrogation of its most valued suspects.
these evil people to justice."
The agreement would grant Congress' permission for Bush to convene military tribunals to prosecute terrorism suspects, a process the Supreme Court had blocked in June because it had not been authorized by lawmakers.
During those trials, coerced testimony would be admissible if a judge allows and if it was obtained before cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment was forbidden by a 2005 law. Bush wanted to allow all such testimony while the maverick senators — McCain, John Warner of Virginia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — had wanted to exclude it.
The central sticking point had been a demand by the three senators that there be no attempt to redefine U.S. obligations under the Geneva Conventions.
CIA Director Michael Hayden praised the deal a week after saying his agency needed to be confident that its interrogation program for high-value terror suspects is legal.
"If this language becomes law, the Congress will have given us the clarity and the support that we need to move forward with a detention and interrogation program that allows us to continue to defend the homeland, attack al-Qaeda and protect American and allied lives," he wrote to CIA personnel.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., indicated he was not satisfied with the piece on classified information: "We're going to look at it closely. And we have some recommendations with respect to classified information."
Added Stephen Hadley, the president's national security adviser, on CIA interrogations: "The good news is the program will go forward."
Hadley said the bar would be "very high" and that classified information would not be automatically shared with terrorists.
"Our view is we think it's a good approach because the likelihood of that occurring would be very remote," Hadley said.
Bush expressed support for the deal before microphones in Orlando, Fla., where he was campaigning for Republican candidates.
The agreement "clears the way to do what the American people expect us to do — to capture terrorists, to detain terrorists, to question terrorists and then to try them," he said.
The accord was sealed in a 90-minute session in the office of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who had earlier in the day told Warner, McCain and Graham it was time to close the deal. The four lawmakers were joined by Hadley, as well as other administration officials, for the final session.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Dev., said Democrats backed the GOP's efforts to bring terrorists to justice. "Five years after 9/11, it is time to make the tough and smart decisions to give the American people the real security they deserve," Reid said.
The agreement was hailed by human rights groups.
"Today's agreement makes clear that the president cannot unilaterally downgrade the humane treatment standards of the Geneva Conventions," said Elisa Massimino, Washington director of Human Rights First.
Whatever the outcome, the controversy has handed critics of the president's conduct of the war on terror election-year ammunition.
Bush's former secretary of state, Colin Powell, dismayed the administration when he sided with Warner, McCain and Graham. He said Bush's plan, which would have formally changed the U.S. view of the Geneva Conventions on rules of warfare, would cause the world "to doubt the moral basis" of the fight against terror and "put our own troops at risk."
The handling of suspects is one of two administration priorities relating to the war on terror.
The other involves the president's request for legislation to explicitly allow wiretapping without a court warrant on international calls and e-mails between suspected terrorists in the United States and abroad. One official said Republicans had narrowed their differences with the White House over that issue, as well, and hoped for an agreement soon.

Trade groups to provide food-safety measures Increased sanitation, testing expected to prevent future bacteria outbreaks
BY TERENCE CHEA ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALINAS, Calif. — California produce growers and processors worked to draw up new food-safety measures Thursday as government investigators trying to pinpoint the source of the deadly E. coli outbreak narrowed their search to three counties.
Trade groups hoped to deliver the guidelines to the Food and Drug Administration within a week but were unsure how long it would take
to win the agency's approval.
"We have people who hope this will be resolved soon so they can salvage something of this season," said Tom Nassif, president of Western Growers Association, an industry group representing about 3,000 fruit and vegetable farmers in California and other states. "Once we go to Washington and iron out those guidelines, we'll be much closer to a date."
Federal officials have required the industry to adopt new food-safety measures before they will lift
a week-old consumer warning on fresh spinach.
Nassif said it was too early to provide details, but that the new measures would likely focus on better water and soil testing and beefed-up sanitation standards for field workers and packaging plants.
The guidelines will be part of a proposal for protecting produce from the bacteria that have killed one person and sickened at least 157 others across the country since last month.
Idaho officials were investigating the death of a 2-year-old on Wednesday, reportedly after eating spinach.
He said the industry must "declare war on all food-borne illnesses. We have to do everything to assure the American public that our food is safe to consume."
The industry's response to the E. coli outbreak traced to bagged spinach from central California would build on existing efforts to protect produce from contamination rather than entail a complete overhaul, Nassif said.
Hergott said a number of Internet companies had certain styles for the IDs they produced. Some have a series of checkboxes on the back, or they have a certain feel to them.
Some Web sites that offer fake IDs will take only money wired to them
Then the bouncer checks issue and expiration dates and matches the height and weight on the ID with the person who presented it.
— no credit cards, no checks. One site, www.newfakeid.com, said wire transfers should be sent to a man named Panayiota Karamanoglou in Athens, Greece. Many IDs, including Kansas driver's licenses, have a hologram distinctive to the issuer. The holograms are clearly visible under ultraviolet light, and the more intricate ones are
"Some fake IDs say right on the back that they're fake," Hergott said.
"We kind of feel bad taking their fake IDs," Hergott said. "I mean, I remember when I had one. It's just one of those things to protect the interests of the bar."

How about not ignoring fire safety?
You wake up and smell something burning.
Flames leap from the grease-filled frying pan that your roommate left on the hot stove and have spread to the wooden cabinets.
It's 9:30 a.m. and your roommate, who always cooks bacon for breakfast, has already left for class. You jump out of bed and open your door — smoke stings your eyes.
Why didn't the smoke alarm go off? Where is the fire extinguisher? Where will you exit? What about the neighbors?
Students have plenty of reasons to prepare for a fire today; the recent tragic deaths of five people in a Lawrence house fire, the Boardwalk Apartments fire last year and Kansas ranking of fifth in the nation for the number of fire deaths in on-campus and off-campus student housing by the Center for Campus Fire Safety.
Take these steps to stay safe:
Take these steps to stay safe:
- Make sure you have a smoke alarm on every floor.
- Test smoke alarm batteries every month
- Replace batteries once a year.
- Remember, 'the law requires your landlord to provide you with a working smoke alarm, whether you live in a house or apartment. You are responsible for maintaining the smoke alarms in good working condition.
- Be careful when drinking. Alcohol is the most common element in fatal off-campus fires.
- Own a fire extinguisher and put it where fires are most likely to start, such as the kitchen.
- Put out your smokes. Cigarettes are the leading cause of fire deaths across the nation.
- Never leave candles unattended and put them out before bed.
- Many fires that kill students are intentionally set for fun. Tell your dumb friends not to set fires.
- Look for a place with sprinklers next year. Studies show that sprinklers decrease fire deaths by 82 percent.

KU image not tarnished by Playboy
COMMENTARY
The recent "Girls of the Big 12" Playboy issue, featuring several KU girls, has sparked a lot of talk across campus.
lege.
Some people think this will reflect negatively on the University. Louis Mora's Monday editorial, "KU playmates don't represent University," said, "it's unfortunate that people will come to associate the University with topless women." There are many people who might agree with this. But on the other hand, I can't help but think this is a gross overstatement. Because in all reality, this issue of Playboy will have little or no effect on the University's image.
Think of all the other schools represented in the "Girls of the Big 12" issue such as Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma. I really doubt anyone's first thought is, "Those school students are full of scantily-clad women." It's very unlikely high school students across the country are taking this Playboy issue into consideration when picking a col-
What a lot of people might not know is that Playboy did a "Girls of the Big 12" issue in October of 2002 featuring a girl from the University. If any effect has happened because of this, it's certainly not all that apparent.
So much focus has been on the girls in Playboy that most people probably don't even know another KU student was featured in the issue. Nick Connell's short story "Ozark Lake" won the Playboy College Fiction contest. This talented writer's story can be found in the current issue.
The association might be there, but the effect is not.
So, if you're going to associate the actions of a few girls from a school of more than 26,000 students, then you really have to question whether that makes sense.

Time is running out in Darfur
》
As the conflict in Darfur, Sudan, reaches a breaking point, now is the time for the rest of the world to take notice and to find a solution. And the students on this campus have as much power to make this happen as anyone else.
In about three months, the citizens of the Darfur region might have no protection against the government forces that have bombed them and the Janiaweed militia that has raped and slaughtered them for more than three years.
According to BBC News, more than 200,000 people have died and about 2 million have fled their homes since the conflict began in 2003. Other organizations have claimed the death total to be as high as 400,000.
The Arab Sudanese government and the Arab Janjaweed militia backed by the government have committed genocide against the black African citizens of Darfur, according to the Bush administration and Congress.
These troops will remain in Darfur until the end of the year, but they can't promise anything after that. And according to BBC News, the African Union troops aren't equipped to handle the Darfur conflict.
The Sudanese government refuses to allow United Nations peacekeepers into Darfur. About 7,000 African Union troops currently fulfill duties such as protecting women from rape when they leave refugee camps to collect firewood.
Brent Steele, assistant professor of political science, said he fears the worst if Darfur is left without a peacekeeping force. He estimated that 100,000 to 200,000 more people would die, many from disease and starvation.
"The biggest problem is that so many people are going to die because of a lack of humanitarian aid," said Steele, the faculty sponsor for the student group FIGHT:
We need to convince Sudan to allow U.N. troops into Darfur, and we need to do it as soon as possible.
YOU CAN'T SEE THE MAN'S EYES.
BY MATT ERICKSON

Fighting Ignorance of Globa Humanitarian Threats.
The U.S. mainstream media have covered the conflict a bit more as it has moved toward its crisis point, but chances still are that you've heard little to nothing about it.
The United States has led the effort to persuade Sudan to admit U.N. troops into Darfur, but we can always do more. Darfur is far from the top of our agenda.
This must change — too many lives are at stake. Darfur should be one of our biggest concerns.
We could pressure Sudan to admit U.N. troops in many ways, Steele said, but politicians will not act until the public demands that they do.
The situation in Darfur is an emergency more serious and urgent than any other in the world. It's time it was given the proper attention.
"Of all the demographics in the United States, college students are the most active" politically, Steele said.
Several campus organizations, including FIGHT and Amnesty International, have made Darfur a focus of their activist work. But students can also help on an individual basis.
Even as college students — especially as college students — we can work to make this happen.
Steele said that dozens of groups — evangelical Christians, Catholics, other religious groups, secular nonprofit organizations — would care deeply about this issue if only someone would awaken them to the seriousness of the situation.
We students can awaken them.
We students can awaken them.
First, read up on the conflict.
BBC News (news.bbc.co.uk) provides background information and daily updates on Darfur, and The
New York Times, free on campus,
runs Darfur articles most days.
Tell the people at your church or other religious meeting place about the conflict. They're bound to care. Let everyone know that the people of Darfur need our help now.
Write to your U.S.
Congresspeople — and their opponents in the upcoming election
— and tell them your vote hinges on the issue of Darfur. Tell them to prove they're committed to ending the conflict in Darfur.
DarfurScores.org provides evaluations of each U.S. Congressperson's action on Darfur-related issues and gives contact information for them.
Write to local newspapers and television stations telling them that Darfur deserves more coverage and that politicians should act on the issue.
One way to pressure on the Sudanese government is to divest from companies that operate in Sudan. This means to withdraw investments from companies that do business in Sudan. Divestment can encourage companies to leave Sudan, putting economic pressure on the government.
Many pension plans include investments in companies operating in Sudan. This could include the pension plans of professors at the University.
Steele said many professors were political activists during college and might listen to you about the subject of divestment. Just tell them you're concerned about the Darfur conflict and ask them to investigate the possibility of divestment and to talk with other professors about it.
"You should get a pretty sympathetic ear from individual professors." Steele said.
Don't wait until tomorrow to do these things — do them today. The people of Darfur don't have much time.

COMMENTARY
Greeks learn to lead others in community
BY SARAH BROWN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
My friends that aren't greek often inquire into the regular activities that we take part in. "I thought all you guys did was plan tailgates and socials," they say.
Well, I am here to tell you that Greek Endeavor is one activity that needs to be recognized by more than just fraternities and sororites.
Greek Endeavor is a retreat held each fall for all new members of each Panhellenic, Interfraternity and National Panhellenic Council chapter. The purpose of Greek Endeavor is to prevent stereotyping between chapters, educate with team building exercises and provide several ways to get involved on campus and throughout the surrounding communities.
So what exactly am I getting at with all this endeavor nonsense? To start off with, Greek Endeavor is a non-alcoholic event that brings together almost 200 members of the greek community.
This weekend we were lucky enough to hear David Coleman speak. Coleman is the love doctor whom the movie "Hitch" is based on. No, he didn't give us love advice (though he shared quite the pick-up lines after the session). Coleman brought to Greek Endeavor one of the most breathtaking and interactive workshops that I have ever been a part of. By the end of the session, everyone felt like they personally knew each one of the 200 participants in the room.
The theme for this year's Greek Endease was "Treasure Island." OK, so this event already sounds cheesy to all of you, huh? And yep, you guessed it, we had the opportunity to dress up for the theme in ridiculous pirate outfits that I have to admit were quite impressive.
Greek Endeavor is one of the most crucial events of the year for Greek life. Within a two-day period, we are taught a mass amount of information that focuses on enhancing our leadership skills, which in return we utilize within our surrounding communities.
Greek Endeavor is the perfect chance for us to bring our ideas to the table and to share them with the rest of the community. It allows us to get involved and understand what your opinions and concerns are. From this weekend's events, it is not just a matter of ending the stereotyping between chapters but rather between communities. It is of such utter importance to quit viewing our communities as two separate beings. Our activities of choice and views are not legitimate reasons for continually stereotyping one another.
It is important to have a better understanding of our surrounding communities, not just the one we personally take part in. Next time you are doing some sort of activity, whether it be volunteering or attending meetings, look around you and recognize the greek community that is working side-by-side with you to attain the same goal.

FLATTERY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
K0
Jared Gabb/KMSA
Tim Flattery, onaga freshman, performs with his teammates of the Rock Chalk Dance Team during the Football Fan Appreciation and Kids Day held Aug. 23 at Memorial Stadium. Flattery will make his first performance during a game on Saturday
Jared Gab/KANSAN
Older sisters, Carly and Laney, also work for the family carnie business.
"I've been a carmie since I was born," Tim says. "My family, they don't want to do the normal, pattern things."
Born to dance
Tim blames - or better yes, thanks -
his dad for his love of dance.
When the Flatterys went to watch Tim's two older sisters in school programs, they'd have to sit in the back of the auditorium, because 2-year-old Tim couldn't resist dancing to the music in the aisles.
"Ever since I was very little, he always had music on - the Beatles or Michael Jackson - and I would always dance to it." Tum recalls.
So when Tim went to his parents and told them he wanted to start dance lessons, it didn't come as a shock. Vicki or Chris Flattery would drive Tim to Holton, 30 miles east of Onaga, twice a week. And there in a Holton dance studio, Tim discovered who he was.
"It didn't take long to see that the kid had a lot of ability," Vicki says. "And like anything, whether it's soccer or softball or any kind of sport or singing, when you see that, you foster it."
Tim also played guard for the Onaga High School basketball team. With just over a minute left in the first half, Tim would race to the locker room and swap his basketball uniform for his dance team gear.
Then, to the befuddlement of the opposing crowd who had seen that same kid on the court playing a minute ago, Tim would join his dance teammates for their halftime performance.
"You're a really fast change," Tim recalls his classmates telling him.
By the beginning of the third quarter, Tim was back on the court in his high tops and basketball uniform.
Tim was no stiff on the court. He scored 25 points in a junior varsity game his sophomore year and then nailed a dance routine that his team had been struggling with all week later that night.
Thick skin
Before Onaga embraced Tim as a
dancer and surrounding towns learned that he was the star of his dance team, Tim had to prove himself.
"I know a lot of people were fixing their eyes on me because I was the only one who was different." Tim says.
Vicki remembers sitting in the stands and biting her lip as she saw "some raised eyebrows and some snickers and some jabs in the ribs."
Then he would dance and "it was obvious that Tim excelled at this". Vicki recalls. "If he would have been no better than any of the girls or not even as good as any of the girls, then I think that the ribbing and snickering would have continued. But once he got out there and performed, honestly, pretty much all eyes were on him."
Tim said he realized he had to let his dancing speak for itself and learn to shrug off criticism with a thick skin.
So when Tim started thinking
about choosing a college, he had one thing on his mind: dance.
It was a forgive conclusion that dance was going to be his major. The only question was where would Tim take his talent.
Mom pushed for a junior college.
"I told him that I felt like he could get his education paid for through a junior college, because of his dancing ability." Vicki says.
Tim didn't want that. He wanted to show his ability on a bigger stage. He told his mom he'd been a big fish in a little ocean for too long. He was ready to be the little fish in a big ocean.
He was ready to learn and get out of his comfort zone in Onaga. And that's where the desire to be a Rock Chalk dancer came from.
This summer Tim and his mom drove to Lawrence for the dance team tryouts. Not surprisingly, Tim tried out in a room full of ponytails.
Once the initial shock wore off for the 75 women, they liked the idea of having a male teammate.
Rock, Chalk Dance Team coach Tasha Ruble said, "It's not weird or different for them because a lot of them have danced with males in their studios."
Tim immediately proved he belonged and when the judges tallied up their scores from the tryouts and he was among the top 22 dancers. He made the team and made history.
"I think he's probably opening up a lot of doors for other people who may have been nervous about doing that," Ruble says. "For him to come in and try out around 75 girls, that took a lot and I'm proud of him for doing it"
When Tim is dancing with the Rock Chalk Dance team, the 5-foot-8 lone male almost lost in the mix. Tim spins and leaps into the air in perfect unison with his female teammates. His movements are crisp and with a purpose. He rocks his head back and swails his shoulders to the beat of MC Hammer's "Do not pass me by." It in that moment where you finally see the difference.
As the women look to the sky and swing their heads back, their pony tails follow behind. But there's Tim in the middle, and his short, dark
blonde hair doesn't move with the music.
"Either way you're a dancer," teammate Katie Rose Hargreaves says, "whether male or female."
Tim says, "I just want them to know that just because I am a different
"I just want them to know that just because I am a different gender doesn't mean I'm doing the dance any different."

"I said 'Are you OK?' Vicci recalls, her question met by silence. Finally Tim said, "Yeah, I'm just kind of worried about my teammates."
It hasn't just been the media who questioned Tim's place on the dance team. KU students have already made unkind remarks, not to his face, but to his friends.
TIM FLATTERY
Onaga freshman
When word spread to Onaga what was being said about Tim in the papers and on the radio, Vicki called to see how her son was holding up.
Tim knows what he's up against.
"I'm on a division 1 collegiate team. This is not going to be little Onaga where I'll
He will dance for his biggest audience ever this Saturday when 40,000 Kansas fans get their first look at Tim on the sidelines and on the field during the KU football game. Tim has won over his hometown and made people look past his gender. He was daring enough to go to a big college and try out for an all-women squad. Now comes the greatest challenge of all.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Tim's not in Onaga anymore. He's in Lawrence and the macho snickering is getting louder. A columnist in the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram made fun of Tim, writing, "Oh, sure, those Big 12 South teams win national championships, but how many have male dancers?" The Kansas City Star, Columbia Daily Tribune, local radio stations and sports Web sites like Deadspin.com also picked up on the news.

McNeal says, "Every night we go out, no matter if he's driving or someone else is driving, he'd dancing. And at the parties and pretty much anywhere we go, he dances"
As Tim drives to dance team practice in his 2004 blue Cavaller, oldies blast from his radio and Tim starts moving to the music. When Tim hears music, it's a natural reaction. He dances, even when he's sitting.
gender doesn't mean I'm doing the dance any different. It's not the girls are over there and I'm over here free styling. We're a team. We're together"
Sometimes that fact is lost on Tim's mom. When Tim would dance with his Onaga dance team, Vicki would videotape from the bleachers. Being a mom, she would of course zoom in on Tim.
Can't stop dancing
"I hope that they will watch his performance and they will let him prove himself", Vicki says. "And I feel like KU is a liberal enough school and they are open minded enough that they are going to look at this and say 'You know what, this is a pretty cool deal. And KU is a trend setter.'"
Tim would yell at his mom, "Mom, we're a team. How am I supposed to know how the team is dancing if I can't see everyone?"
His mom hopes people will give him a chance and that once KU fans see him perform, they will discover what the town of Onaga already knows, Tim Flattery can dance.

Tournament offers opportunity to test lineup variety
BY BETTY KASPAR
The softball team will try out a new lineup in its tournament against Pittsburg State, Missouri Western and Butler in the Fall Jayhawk Classic this weekend.
The tournament is not about playing Top 25 competition, softball coach Tracy Bunge said, but about getting different players playing time. Kansas does not have a set lineup yet; the team has had only three
weeks of practice together.
B u n g e said the biggest advantage of coaching a spring sport was giving the team the fall to figure out its new composition.
"We are demanding our freshmen to come in and not play like freshmen."
"The fall is for us to figure out what we have,
"We are demanding our fresh-
During the next month, Bunge wants to develop a set lineup after seeing the team play in live competition. She said the purpose of these tournaments was to focus on what Kansas was doing and what needed to be improved, not what its competition was doing.
what our new players are really capable of in game situations", Burge said.
"We do have a lot of newcomers, and they are filling some pretty big roles," Humphreys said. "They have done a really good job of stepping up and realizing we need them now."

The softball team is going to be quite different this year, losing six seniors to graduation and picking up nine new players. There are 10 returning players, and Bunge said she expected them to step up into the leadership roles to help guide the

men to come in and not play like freshmen," Bunge said.
Along with Humphreys, this weekend will also feature new freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka. Also pitching will be sophomore Valerie George.
"We have a really good freshman, Sarah Vertelka, who has good control and movement. Valerie George brings a lot of spin and has been working hard." Humphreys said. "Both of them look really good. I have no doubt they will do well for the team."
Kansas will play its first game against Pittsburg State at 12 p.m. Saturday at Arrocha Ballpark.
Then junior infielder Nicole Washburn holds onto the ball as Ashleigh Tweed, Oklahoma State senior infielder, crosses first base. The teams split the series, with Kansas losing 1-0 in game one and winning 12-0 in game two.

D. 如果两个线段的长度不相等，则这两个线段可以重合。
Key stat: 22 - the number of goals scored by junior forward Ashlee Pistorius last season, leading the Big 12.
2006 outlook: Texas A&M has won the Big 12 Championship the past two years, and the Aggies are picked to win the Big 12 again this year. However, the team has gotten off to a slow start.
After winning their first two games, Texas A&M tied against Penn State, and then lost to UCLA, Santa Clara and Cal State Fullerton, all ranked teams. The 2005 Big 12 champs will look to get back on the winning track tonight as the Aggies open conference play on the road at Baylor. Texas A&M defeated Kansas 3-2 last season and will travel to Lawrence Oct. 8 for a game at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Texas
2005 record: (11-9-1, 6-4-0)
Key stat: 10 - the number of returning starters for the Longhorns.
2006 outlook: The Longhorns enter conference play with a three-game winning streak.
The Longhorns have the experience to win the Big 12 and could be the team to beat by the end of conference play. Last season the Jayhawks defeated the Longhorns 2-1. The Longhorns will travel to Lawrence to play the Jayhawks on
Oct. 6.
Oklahoma
2005 record: (13-6-1, 5-4-1)
Key stat: 9 - the number of returning starters on this year's team.
2006 outlook: After setting team records in victories, assists, points and goals last season, the Oklahoma Sooners will look to surpass those numbers and make the NCAA Tournament in 2006. The Sooners lost their first three games of the season to start the year 3-5-1.
Oklahoma opened conference play Sept. 15 against Oklahoma State and lost 2-1. Last season the Sooners lost to the Jayhawks 3-0. The two teams will meet again at 1 p.m. Sunday in Norman, Okla.
Oklahoma State
2005 record:(10-6-3,3-6-1)
Key stat: 2.63 - the average number of goals per game for the Cowgirls in 2005, second in the conference.
2006 outlook: Oklahoma State started Big 12 play with a victory for the fifth year in a row by defeating Oklahoma 2-1 last week. The Cowgirls are tied for first in the conference this season in goals per game (2.50) and have a 6-1-1 record. They play the Jayhawks at 7 tonight in Stillwater, Okla.
2006 outlook: Despite scoring only four goals during their nonconference schedule, the Baylor Bears have won three games, all by shutting out their opponents.
Key stat: 4 - the number of goals by Baylor in their first eight games this season.
Baylor
The Bears enter conference play with a 3-4-1 record. Last season the
2005 record: (4-12-2, 2-7-1)

The Bears open Big 12 play tonight at home against Texas A&M. The Bears will play the Jayhawks on Oct. 20 in Lawrence.

and the number of goals scored by the Red Raiders this season through
their first eight games. Amazingly,
10 of those goals came in a game
two weeks ago against Prairie View
A&M.
2006 outlook: For the second year in a row Texas Tech is picked to finish in the Big 12 cellar. But the team has already shown signs of improvement.
The Red Raiders could move up in the conference standings this year, but they will likely need offensive outbursts similar to the one they put on Prairie View A&M. And in a tough Big 12 conference, don't look for that to happen.
In 2005 the Red Raiders won just one game, but have already won four this year because of their increase in scoring. Last year Texas Tech scored a grand total of 13 goals, and they have already surpassed that number this season.
The Red Raiders open Big 12 play tonight at home against the Longhorns. Last season the Jayhawks defeated the Red Raiders 4. The two teams will meet again Oct. 22.

Amidst continuing accusations, cyclist prepares for NYC marathon
Race celebrates 10-year anniversary of cancer diagnosis
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Right around the corner from Trump Tower, Lance Armstrong jogged across Madison Avenue during rush hour, dodging a police motorcade speeding to the United Nations, a bicyclist delivering Chinese takeout and two women in heels scrambling for the bus.
A crowded, hectic setting in midtown Manhattan, much like what he'll see in 6 1/2
and money for his foundation and cancer research. It will come a month after an important date in his life: Oct. 2 will mark 10 years since he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Armstrong is ready for something that will last well past the marathon — questions about whether he ever used performance-
"It's been harder physically than I expected. Running is an impact sport, certainly as opposed to cycling."
LANCE ARMSTRONG
Tour de France winner
weeks when he runs his first New York City Marathon. He thinks he can finish within one hour of the winner, and has done 6 1/2-minute miles in training.
But for all 26.2 miles?
"It's been harder physically than I expected," the seven-time Tour de France winner said Wednesday. "Just the pounding. The aches and pains associated with running. My hips, joints. Running is an impact sport, certainly as opposed to cycling."
"The longest run I've done, I think is 13," he said. "I better do a longer one soon. Probably not a bad idea."
The Nov. 5 race will certainly help Armstrong raise awareness.
enhancing drugs.
"I've sort of prepared myself to deal with it for a long time," he said.
And could he envision a time when people will stop asking?
"Probablynot," he said.
Drug use
has been a hot-button issue in all sports, especially cycling of late. Recent Tour de France winner Floyd Landis tested positive for elevated testosterone and suspended American cyclist Tyler Hamilton is facing a new doping investigation.
Last week, Frankie Andreu and another former Armstrong teammate who spoke on condition of anonymity told The New York Times they used an endurance-booster before the 1999 Tour de France, the first of Armstrong's seven victories. Neither rider tested positive and both said they never saw Armstrong take any illegal substance.
Armstrong, who's often said he's the most tested athlete in the world.
has never tested positive for drugs Before he retired from cycling,he was subject to tests at any time.
"I get lumped in with all of the stuff that happened," Armstrong said. "I mean, if something happens with Marion Jones or Barry Bonds or Floyd Landis or Tyler Hamilton, I get lumped into that."
Bonds, closing in on Hank Aaron's career home run record, has repeatedly denied taking steroids. A federal grand jury is looking into whether Bonds lied to another grand jury that was investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.
"I have to say I understand what he's going through," Armstrong said. "I think there's probably more of an association just because of the BALCO stuff and the grand jury testimony."
"Barry is more — it seems from the outside — he's a tough character," he said. "He's not gone out of his way to try to fix the situation or make friends there."
"My impression is that people, or fans, or people potentially on the fence, they like it when you come out and fight. They like it when you say, 'No, no, no, you got it wrong, this is what is right' and you lay out the facts, again," he said.
"It's like our approach has been with these bozos that try to get sideways. We sue 'em," he said. "And we win every time."

Baseball awards predicted for season's end

KANSAN COLUMNIST

FSN
St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols hits a double during the first inning of a baseball game against the Milwaukee Breakers Monday, Sept. 18, 2006, in Milwaukee.
With just more than two weeks remaining in the regular season, the debates have begun all over Major League Baseball. Who is the National League MVP? Who is the American League Cy Young? What about Manager of the Year? I am here to clear everything up for you with my predictions for the annual accolades.
Morrv Gash/ASSOCIATED PRESS
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals. His stats don't lie. He is the best all-around player in baseball. Going into Thursday night's games, Pujols was hitting .328 with 46 home runs and 128 RBI. Yes, Ryan Howard of the Phillies has more home runs and RBI, but Pujols leads all of baseball in slugging percentage at .674 and game-winning RBI with 25. He also has a higher on-base percentage and batting
average than Howard. Pujols has 46 home runs and only 44 strikeouts, an amazing statistic. Add in the fact that Pujols has helped the Cardinals to their third straight division title, and that he might win his first gold glove this year, and I think Pujols is a pretty easy choice.
AL MVP:Derek Jeter, New York Yankees. You either love him or hate him, and most people hate him. With all of the turmoil that has surrounded the Yankees this year, from Alex Rodriguez under-performing to Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield missing most of the season with injuries, Jeter has kept the Yankees together. He entered Thursday night's game just .005 behind Joe Mauer in the AL batting race with a .339 average. He is third in the AL in runs with 110, third in hits, fourth in on-base percentage and seventh in stolen bases. He may not have the top-of-the-line stats like Pujols does, but he has been the glue that has held the Yankees together. He is a front runner for his second-straight gold glove and his first MVP.
like they are going to do it again. Carpenter leads the NL with a 2.79 ERA and is one behind the NL lead in wins with 15. He has been the only consistent pitcher on a terrible Cardinals pitching staff, and despite missing three weeks because of a back injury, still ranks seventh in strikeouts and ninth in innings pitched.
NLCyYoung: Chris Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals, Carpenter and Puiols swept the NL awards for the Cardinals last year, and it looks
AL Cy Young: Johan Santana, Minnesota Twins. Quietly, Santana is putting together one of his best seasons. He leads the major leagues in all three major pitching categories, with 18 wins, a 2.77 ERA and 237 strikeouts. He has dominated the AL this year and helped the Twins get back to the playoffs in the process. After being 15 games out of first place in June, the Twins were only a half of a game out of first place heading into last night's games thanks to Santana's amazing second half.
NL Manager of the Year:
Joe Girardi, Florida Marlins. What he has done with a very young Marlins team this season has been nothing short of a miracle. After the Marlins lost Josh Beckett, A.J. Burnett, Juan Pierre, Carlos Delgado, Mike Lowell and Alex Gonzalez, the Marlins entered Thursday just four games out of the wild card.
AL Manager of the Year: Jim Leyland, Detroit Tigers. Just like Girardi, it has been amazing to watch the Tigers success this season. Leyland came out of retirement to lead a young Tigers bunch to the
best record in baseball for most of the year. The Tigers have slipped of late but will still be a scary team come playoff time.

TENNIS
Kansas to compete in North Carolina This season's squad almost identical to last season's nationally ranked squad
BY ANTONIO MENDOZA
Lauren Hommell, Roswell, Ga., junior, knew that leaving her home and coming to the University of Kansas to play tennis would mean that her family would not be able to see her compete very often. This weekend, however, is different as she and the tennis team will travel to Winston-Salem, N.C., to compete in the Deacon Classic at Wake Forest University.
"My whole family is coming because they live close to Wake Forest," Hommell said. "I just want to do well to make them proud."
Kansas comes into the fall season opener only losing one player from last year's squad, which was ranked No.64 in the nation.
"I am just as excited as the girls are to get started in a new year, and have one new face in the bunch," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "It's always exciting for a coach to begin
a new season."
Hall-Holt said she was ready to see what the team had to offer.
The new face is Kunigunda Dorn, Sopron, Hungary, freshman. She is expected to have an immediate effect on the team.
"Every new girl that we try to bring in, we have high hopes for them that they will make some type of impact on the team." Hall-Holt said.

the team will only have had one week of practice under its belt. Hommell said that the team has been practicing well and is still trying to figure out a few things, such as where Dorn will be placed in the lineup.
The Jayhawks will also be returning their No.1 doubles team consisting of sophomore Ksenia Bukina and junior Liza Avdeeva. They were ranked No.30 in the nation as doubles partners last week by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The Jayhawks have also replaced former assistant coach Frank Polito, who took a job at the University of Georgia. Coach Hall-Holt has said that the team has hired a new assistant coach but has not announced who it is yet.

Student-athletes win lawsuit against school
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Missouri State University and the American Civil Liberties Union on Thursday announced a settlement in a lawsuit filed on behalf of four members of the women's tennis team, whose program was eliminated for the 2006-07 school year.
Maja Stanojevic, Paty Manzur,
Eleonora Kuruc and Monika
Musilova will each be paid $1,000
by the university under the settlement. Each side is responsible for its legal fees.
The university cut the women's tennis program, along with men's indoor and outdoor track, men's cross country and men's tennis last December. The move is expected to save at least $350,000 annually in a budget that receives about $5 million from the university's general fund.
Anthony Rothert, ACLU legal director of eastern Missouri, said the lawsuit sought to emphasize the importance of Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program that receives federal funds. It also sought to ensure the university continued to comply with the law.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in April, asking for the women's tennis program to be reinstated. It also asked for an injunction that was denied in May.
"Obviously, we are glad this is behind us," said John Black, an attorney representing the university. "President (Michael T.) Nietzel and the Board of Governors agonized over the decision to reduce the number of sports teams. But with the current financial situation, they didn't have much choice."
Most schools meet Title IX requirements by demonstrating that the percentages of male and female athletes are substantially proportionate with the percentages of male and female students enrolled.

Big 12 play commences in Oklahoma
BY MARK DENT
If you asked coach Mark Francis about Kansas' chances in the Big 12 Conference last Friday after his team lost to Pepperdine, you might have gotten a pessimistic response.
But after the Jayhawks convincingly beat Central Florida on Sunday, his outlook has improved.
"I'm excited; going into the conference with a win is good," Francis said. "It's funny how day-to-day coaching is."
Kansas (5-2-0) will try to build on Sunday's victory tonight at Oklahoma State and Sunday at Oklahoma in

its first conference games of the season.
"When we have a lot of players play well,we have a better chance of controlling the tempo," Francis said.
Seventeen different Jayhawks got on the field Sunday, and 16 players have appeared in four or more games.
A lot of players may have seen action Sunday,but those players also missed several scoring chances.
The importance of depth is something that the coach has been preaching all year long, and he said it would help throughout the conference season.
The Jayhawks impressed Francis so much against the Knights that he said the game was his team's best of the season, especially because Kansas' depth was on display.
Shots from inside the box routinely fly anywhere except the goal. The jayhawks converted on only two of eight shots,' about 20 percent below their season average.

T he Jay hawks need to cure their shooting ills tonight as they face the Cowgirls (6-1-1, 1-0-0). Kansas defeated Oklahoma
State last season 4-1, but the Cowgirls are off to a fast start this season and already picked up their first conference win against rival Oklahoma (3-5-0, 0-1-0).
Four of the five losses have been by one goal. Oklahoma has nine starters from last season's 13-win team, showing that it does have the returning talent to turn the season around.
The Jayhawks have traveled across the nation to California and Alabama this season and will have to face the road again this weekend.
Only this time the games will be different.
"This is my first year, but I've heard conference play is a little more exciting," freshman forward Monica Dolinsky said. "I think our team is going to step it up."
The players said that conference play provided a challenge different from their earlier road trips.

FRIDAY FIVE
The burning questions surrounding Saturday's game.
Q:
Can the Jayhawks win without Kerry Meier?
A:
If Meier doesn't play, it'll be tough. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said his offense won't change if Meier doesn't start, but it's clear that Adam Barmann doesn't have Meier's speed. This season Kansas' opponents have made it a point of emphasis to stop Cornish and the running game and force the quarterback to beat them with his arm. Barmann will be forced to win the game through the air, which he struggled to do when he played last season.
91 40 8
Q:
Is Adam Barmann ready to start again?
A:
Mangino said throughout fall practice that Barmann has made significant progress and is improved in reading routes and finding receivers. If he starts, Barmann must show the progress he's been said to have made. Any repeat of last season's Florida Atlantic game, where a majority of Barmann's passes were long or short-hopped their intended receivers, and this game could get ugly.

Q:
Is South Florida any good?
A:
The Bulls will be the best and most experienced team the Jayhaws have seen this season. They have a young quarterback who, like Meier, has shown great potential. USF also has an experienced defense, especially at the linebacker and cornerback positions. It's very possible that Kansas could be starring at a two-game losing streak if they continue to fall behind early.
：
Does Aqib Talib make that much of a difference?
Q
A:
Talib's return to the starting lineup last week at Toledo was a boost for a defense that had struggled defending the pass. His replacement during the two-game suspension, Raymond Brown, was picked on early and often by opposing quarterbacks. Talib wasn't the entire reason Kansas' defense looked much improved against Toledo, but his return certainly helped. More than anything else, Talib's experience is needed, because he's surrounded by youth in the secondary.
Q:
A:
Why can't the defense create turnovers?
Last season, Kansas' defense was able to create turnovers at a crucial time and often score touchdowns. This season though, Kansas hasn't forced in turnover in nearly three weeks. Mangino said the reason was that his defense, mainly made up of younger players, had been focused on being in the right position rather than creating turnovers. Especially if Meier doesn't play, this defense must force turnovers to get the offense extra possessions.

Jayhawks ready for game against Buffaloes in Colorado
BY DREW DAVISON
Kansas' match against Colorado this weekend will feature two of the most evenly matched teams in the Big 12, especially after Kansas won a thrilling five-game match against Texas A&M on Wednesday.
The Buffaloes (6-4, 2-1 Big 12) and the Jayhawks (8-4, 1-2) were picked to finish sixth and seventh in the conference preseason polls.
Kansas and Colorado rank sixth and seventh in hitting percentage, and third and fourth in both kills and in assists.
This season, both teams have put up similar numbers in the conference.
for the upcoming road trip, especially after beating &M.
After losing to No.1 Nebraska and No.5 Texas, Kansas feels better
"We lost to Nebraska and lost to Texas, so now we're a little more confident going into Colorado," Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said.
Kansas has stops at Colorado and at Texas Tech in the coming week.
Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, knew how important it was for her team to win at home Wednesday, especially with two upcoming road games.
The Jayhawks are 0-1 on the road against conference opponents and 1-2 on the road overall.
Brown said the games would be tough matches for Kansas to win, especially considering they're on the road.
The match-up to look for in
Kansas' Correa is leading her team with four kills a game, and Colorado is led by Amber Sutherland with 4.22 kills a game.
Boulder will be both teams' outside hitters.
Sutherland, a 5-feet-10 junior, earned Big 12 Player of the Week for Sept. 11 through 17.
After the first three conference matches, coach Ray Bechard said he would like to see the team get freshman Brittany Williams involved more.
Colorado began conference play 2-0, but in its last match it was swept by No. 5 Texas in Austin.
Williams has started at middle blocker for 10 of Kansas' 11 games this season, as she is replacing injured Natalie Uhart, Big 12
preseason Newcomer of the Year. Williams is averaging just 2.05 kills a game and a .211 hitting percentage.
The Jayhawks' next home contest is against the Iowa State Cyclones on Sept. 30.

KU
KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
After suffering its first loss of the season last week, Kansas returns home to close out its non-conference schedule. The Jayhawks need to rebuild their confidence against an inexperienced South Florida squad. Against Toledo, Kansas struggled with turnovers — five giveaways and its inability to create them. This team must find a way to limit its turnovers to have a chance to win.
5 QUICK FACTS
16 — the number of games since Kansas last allowed a 100- yard rusher.
7 — the number of times junior punter Kyle Tucker has pinned an opponent inside their own 20 yard line in the last two games.
5. 9 — the number of yards averaged per carry by senior running back Jon Cornish.
6 — the rank of sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera in Big 12 in tackles, averaging nearly nine per game.
33. 7 — the average number of points scored by Kansas' offense this season.
PLAYER TO WATCH

Fine led the team in receiving with five catches for 49 yards. For this offense to be successful, with or without Kerry Meier, Fine must be more involved.
QUESTION MARKS
QUARTERBACKS — No matter who's taking snaps this weekend, the quarterback position should be an adventure. If Meier starts, he may not be fully healthy, if Adam Barmann starts, it'll be his first playing time in more than a year. Either way, neither of Kansas' quarterbacks may be fully prepared.
SCOTT WEBB — Kansas junior kicker has missed both of his kicks this season. Webb made big kicks earlier in his career, but struggled with both a short and long attempt. If his start to the season has affected his confidence, that could spell bad news if this game is close late.
GAME DAY GAME-TIME DECISION Meier's status a mystery
GAME DAY
KANSAS VS. SOUTH FLORIDA 6 p.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium, FSN
Kansas
Offense
Kansas' offense was held back against Toledo because of Meier's four interceptions. It also didn't help that Meier injured his right arm during the game. With Meer listed as a possible gametime decision for Saturday and Barmann as the second-string quarterback, this offense will rely heavily on Jon Cornish. The senior running back has failed to gain at least 100 yards in his last two games. With the quarterback position in a state of flux this week, it will be up to Cornish to carry the load against USF.
KU KU
Defense
Kansas' defense put together its best outing of the season against Toledo. M an g i n o said that other than touchdowns scored by Toledo at the end of the first half and the game-winning score, he was pleased with their performance. Toledo was
South Florida
95
held without a first down through the entire second half. The pass defense also looked improved with the return of Agib Talib to the starting lineup. Now, the defense must work on finding a way to create turnovers. With its quarterback situation questionable, Kansas' offense will need all the extra possessions it can get.

How last week's close loss affects Kansas should be seen early. If the team comes out strong, the game should have little carry over. But if the Jayhawks struggle, the longer it takes the team to rebound, the more trouble this team could be in. Kansas can't let the loss or quarterback situation become a distraction. If they do, it's a long week of practice before heading up to Lincoln. Neb. to take on a steaming-mad Cornhusker squad.
Offense
KU KU
The South Florida offense revolves around its quarterback, freshman Matt Grothe, who has accounted for 70.2 percent of his team's 1,225 total yards of offense. In addition to being South Florida's leading passer, Grothe is its leading rusher with 213 yards. The Bulls have used a running back-by-committee approach thus far with five running backs combining for 259 yards. South Florida also spreads the ball around through the air more successfully than it does on the ground. The Bulls completed passes to 11 players last week for 333 yards and three touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Ean Randolph, sophomore wide receiver Marcus Edwards, sophomore wide receiver Amp Hill and junior wide receiver Amarri Jackson have caught passes in every game this season and have combined for 380 yards and four touchdowns.
Ryan Schneider
Defense
The South Florida defense has held opponents to 15.7 points per game and 261.3 yards per game. However, Kansas is averaging 33.7 points per game and 356 yards per game, so South Florida will find out how good its defense really is. The Bulls could gain an edge on the Jayhawks by forcing turnovers. The Bulls have forced seven and the Jayhawks have given the ball away nine times this season. Between linebackers Ben Moffitt and Pat St. Louis, South Florida will make Kansas earn its rushing yards. The two have 37 combined tackles, 22 of those solo. Freshman defensive end George Selvie and junior cornerback Trae Williams could give Kansas' quarterback fits. Selvie has 2.5 sacks and Williams has four interceptions.
M omen
tum
South Florida won its first road against Central Florida
The Bulls should certainly have the momentum advantage on the Jayhawkscoming into Saturday. While Kansas faltered down the stretch in its first road game last week, game on the
touchdown pass to Randolph with 3:20 left in the game. However, the Bulls will still be without sophomore running back Ricky Ponton, sophomore defensive end Josh Julmiste and junior wide receiver Jackie Chambers. The three have yet to play a game this season after failing drug tests for a second time. South Florida also has the luxury of a proven veteran behind Grothe in senior Pat Julmiste. So if Grothe struggles, the Bulls will have a second option.
Shawn Shroyer
USF KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
South Florida is 3-0 to start a season for the second time in its history, but has yet to play a team of Kansas' caliber. It didn't pull away from Division I-AA McNeese State until the fourth quarter and squeaked out victories in the final minutes against Florida Atlantic (0-3) and Central Florida (1-2). The Bulls are 0-2 all-time against Big 12 Conference teams and Saturday will be their first game outside of Florida this season.
5 QUICK FACTS
0 — South Florida has zero victories all-time against Big 12 schools. South Florida lost to Baylor in 2000 and Oklahoma in 2002.
1 — Matt Grothe is ranked No. 1 among all Division I-A freshman quarterbacks in total passing yards, passing yards per game, total offense per game, and is tied for first in touchdown passes with Southern Methodist's Justin Willis and Kansas' Kerry Meier.
4-0 — South Florida hasn't gone 4-0 to start a season since 1998.
86. 6 — Grothe accounted for 86.6 percent of South Florida's offense last week.
1997 The inaugural season of the South Florida football program.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Matt Grothe
BROOKLYN, NY
Grothe
The freshman quarterback hasn't played like a freshman, having led South Florida to come-from-behind victories in
every game this
season. He also threw game-winning touchdown passes the last two weeks with less than 3:30 to go in both games.
QUESTION MARKS
OUT OF THE GATE — In its first three games, South Florida has gotten off to slow starts and been outscored 40-21 in the first half of those games. As a result, the Bulls have had to play catch-up with a freshman quarterback.
RUNNING GAME — South Florida's top three running backs have combined for just 228 rushing yards, in three games. If Kansas plays as well against the pass as it did last week, South Florida will have to find success on the ground.
NATIONAL GAMES OF INTEREST
Happy
Cal
No.22 Arizona State at No.21 California 2:30 p.m.Saturday
This Pac-10 match-up will likely decide which team will remain in the Top 25. Arizona State hasn't beaten Cal since 2000, but Arizona State is averaging more points per game and California lost the last time it played a ranked opponent.
Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter is seventh In the nation with 842 passing yards and has thrown nine touchdown passes, but the Sun Devils are 47th in the nation in nushing.
Penn State
Cal is 10th in the nation in yards per game thanks to a balanced attack. Quarterback Nathan Longshore has 610 passing yards and six touchdowns while running back Marshawn Lynch has 325 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson is the Bears' most dangerous receiving threat with 304 yards and five touchdowns.
OHIO STATE
No. 24 Penn State at No.1 Ohio State, 2:30 p.m. Saturday on ABC
Last season Texas and Penn State were the only teams to blemish Ohio State's record. The Longhorns have already fallen at the hands of the Buckeyes this season and the Nittany Lions may be next.
If Penn State is to upset Ohio State again this year, it will need to slow the game down by running. Running backs Tony Hunt and Rodney Kinlaw have combined for 374 rushing yards and Hunt has two touchdowns. Quarterback Anthony Morelli has performed adequately with 549 yard and four touchdowns, but won't be able to heat Ohio State in a shootout.
History will be in Ohio State's favor. The Buckeyes have never lost a conference game to the Nittany Lions at home. It also doesn't hurt that quarterback Troy Smith has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes for 769 yards and seven touchdowns.

Michigan can't afford a letdown after its upset of Notre Dame last week: Last season, Wisconsin ended Michigan's streak of 23 straight conference opener victories. Michigan will look to return the favor this year with a smothering defense.
Wisconsin quarterback John Stocco has been decent this season with 436 passing yards and three touchdowns, but the Badgers will depend on their running game. To counteract Wisconsin's rushing attack, Michigan boasts the best rushing defense in the nation, allowing only 20.7 yards per game.
Wide receiver Mario Manningham and linebacker Prescott Burgess earned Big Ten Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors last week for their performances against Notre Dame.
The softball team played four games this weekend, starting the fall season at 3-1. 1B South Florida quarterback Matt Grothe surprised Jayhawk fans with his athleticism Saturday. Look inside for complete coverage. 4-5B

Weekend hit-and-run kills student
Police locate suspect car, driver; department continues investigation
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
Lawrence police are expected to confirm this morning that Ryan Kanost, a 22-year-old University of Kansas senior from Manhattan, was killed in a hit-and-run accident about 1:09 a.m. Saturday.
The accident occurred at the intersection of 13th and Kentucky streets.
Lawrence police officers were called to the scene where Kanost was pronounced dead. The intersection does not have a traffic light, rather two stop
signs on 13th Street.

According to a Lawrence Police Department media release, a silver 2002 or newer Toyota Camry struck Kanost while he was crossing the intersection.
The Toyota drove away from the scene north on Kentucky Street. The vehicle sustained damage to the right front corner, quarter panel and passenger side of the vehicle, police said in a statement.

Lawrence police officer Larry Hamilton speaks to Cameron Jenkins, 12, about what Jackson saw and heard during Sunday's shooting at Mobile Village in the 100 block of Michigan Street. A police-involved shooting occurred at 1:23 p.m. Sunday, in which a 36-year-old woman was shot. Lorie Meacham, a neighbor, said that residents were "trapped in here all day."
Lawrence police officer shoots woman Helicopter takes victim to unknown Kansas City hospital after incident
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
A Lawrence police officer shot and injured a 36-year-old Lawrence woman during a stand-off Sunday afternoon.
Capt. David Cobb of the Lawrence Police department said the woman's mother called police at 9 a.m., asking them to check on her distressed daughter. Cobb said the officer who responded to the Mobile Village II trailer park, 110 Michigan St., heard a gunshot when he knocked on the door. The officer fled and called for assistance.
The shooting occurred at 1:23 p.m. after a stand-off began around 9 a.m. Police have not released the woman's name.
Officers arrived and Cobl said the shift commander called for trained negotiators and additional, off-duty personnel. The negotiators talked to the woman by telephone for about three hours, starting at 10:40 a.m.
The woman opened the door
about 1:23 p.m., pointed a gun and shot at the police, Cobb said. Police returned fire and one officer shot the woman. She was then flown by helicopter to a Kansas City hospital. Cobb said that as of 4:30 p.m., the woman was in surgery and her condition was unknown.
Sherie Marshal, a neighbor and family friend, said the woman's name was Marsha and she had been staying with her father, Jim Mace, the owner of the trailer. Mace was visiting another daughter in Texas when the incident occurred. Marshal said the police contacted Mace after the incident. Sherie Marshal was told by her brother, Jim Marshal, that Mace keeps two guns in his home and that Marsha had been struggling with depression for the last year. Jim Marshal was not at the scene Sunday.
George Oliver, a neighbor of Mace's, said he heard two shots between 9 and 9:30 a.m. He later
"This is a rare occurrence for us," Cobb said of shootings in Lawrence.
Tiffany Reginer, a 14-year-old neighbor of Mace's, said she was woken up by police about 10 a.m. They told her to leave her residence for her own safety. Reginer goes to school with Marsha's 15-year-old son.
Police asked neighbors to evacuate their homes after the first shots were fired. The woman living next door said she was awoken by police officers at 9 a.m.
The woman, who said she has known Marsha for many years, thought Marsha was having a fight with her boyfriend, and said she heard a gun shot coming from the trailer.
heard the police on bull horns communicating with the woman. He said he saw the police officer who shot the woman being taken away in a detective's car.
心
Another neighbor said she was woken up in the afternoon by a shot. She said she saw a policeman run down the street with a gun. Late, she
said she heard an ambulance enter the trailer park.
The Lawrence Police Department shooting policy states an officer is entitled to use the degree of force that is reasonably necessary to prevent death or bodily harm upon the officer. The policy states further that post-shooting trauma counseling shall be made available to all police personnel involved in a shooting incident.
Police officers taped off the surrounding trailers for investigative purposes and residents had to wait outside the perimeter until police said they could enter their homes.

Lawrence police will release more information at a 10 a.m. briefing today at the Law Enforcement Center.

Report says U.S. universities not preparing teachers
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The University of Kansas School of Education was not examined under the study, but based on the author's criteria, the school would score well, Sally Roberts, associate dean of the School of Education said.
Most teachers in the United States are not being adequately prepared for the classroom by their university programs, according to a report released last week. The University of Kansas, however, is one program that is making the grade, a school of education official said.
志
The report, titled "Educating School Teachers," was released by the Education Schools Project and authored by Arthur Levine, former president of the Columbia University Teachers College.
He assessed the education programs at a university based on whether the school grants baccalaureate, masters or doctoral degrees. With the differences of each in mind, Levine examined nine criteria, which included the quality of each school's curriculum, research and faculty, and admission and graduation standards.
One of Levine's main arguments
"In our school, training teachers is a small part of what we do," she said.
Another of Levine's criticisms is that a majority of programs suffer from low admission and graduation standards.
In response, Roberts explained the University is a research-intensive school and doctoral university. The school is allowed to use research funds and award doctoral degrees, which not every university can do, she said. It also means they graduate fewer students.
Katie McDonald, Hutchinson senior, is studying to teach kindergarten through second grade. She said she feels prepared in most areas, especially because students must spend so much time in children's classrooms. She spends four days of the week in a Eudora school teaching math, science and social studies as part of a practicum. She also spends 40 minutes a week tutoring for a literacy practicum.

is that schools aren't preparing students for practical classroom scenarios. At the University, student teaching is required to become licensed, and field components are required for several courses.
Charles Glover, the grandfather and KU groundskeeper, and four members of his family who all died in a house fire last weekend were remembered Sunday. Family, community members and politicians gatiered in the Kansas Union to remember the lives taken by the deadly fire. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Spotlight on Organizations
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) aims to present Islam the way followers, and not the media, define it, as well as to be a resource for Muslims and non-Muslims, according to Fadlullah Firman, Jakarta, Indonesia senior and MSA president.
MSA first formed five years ago from the Islamic Society of Lawrence and also belongs to MSA International. The group currently boasts 70 regular members, many of which are Muslim. However, non-believers should not feel nervous to join, as "we're here not
just for the Muslim community." Firman said.
On Sunday, religious observance of the Islamic month of Ramadan began, which will last until Oct. 23. Ramadan is a time for Muslims to focus on prayer, fastin and charity. The most widely-known aspect of Ramadan is the refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset every day.
MSA's most popular event of the school year is the Fast-a-Thon. Non-Muslims pledge to fast from dawn to sunset one day - this year, Oct. 11 - to raise awareness about hunger, to support charities, and to attend a free Middle Eastern breakfast and dinner.
Muslim Student Association
Businesses and individual volunteers donate money for each non-Muslim who pledges to participate. In 2005, more than 500 people made the commitment, raising more than $2,000 for the Lawrence Community Shelter and victims of the southeast Asia earthquake. All proceeds from this year's event will go to the Lawrence Community Shelter.
Breakfast will be hosted at the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 19th and Naismith streets, at 5:30 a.m. on Oct. 11. Dinner will be hosted that night at 6:30 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, where participants can expect to enjoy pita bread, hummus, baklava, chicken
salad and more. The dinner brings people of all faiths together to learn about Islam, hear from speakers, view Islam prayer and try new food.
To participate in the Fast-a Thon or get involved with MSA, interested students should speak with group members on Wescoe Beach today or visit the MSA Web site at www.msqku.com. Information about subscribing to the mailing list, which informs students of upcoming meetings and events, is available on the Web site.

Thai soldiers encouraged to promote friendly image
BANGKOK, Thailand — Military coup leaders in Thailand — often called the "Land of Smiles"— apparently don't want to ruin that image. They've ordered soldiers to smile.
Army radio broadcasts are reminding soldiers to be friendly and courteous, especially to children and anyone who wants to take pictures with them.
Since Tuesday's overthrow of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, tanks and soldiers have been stationed at strategic points around Bangkok, becoming a must-have photograph for many Thais and tourists.
"People have shown overwhelming support for the soldiers; the army radio station said Saturday." The soldiers should promote a positive image and continue smiling and be polite."

Overdose lands KU student in hospital
A female KU student was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital about 4:30 p.m. Sunday after overdosing on trazodone, a common sleep medication.

Linzer said it was unknown whether this overdose was a suicide attempt.

corrections
An article in Friday's The University Daily Kansan contained an error. The article "Chancellor's performance earns pay raise," should have said that the maximum amount Chancellor Hemenway can receive for his salary is $139,280, meaning that he can receive money from private funds to bring his state salary of $250,519 up to that level.

CAMPUS Event helps students learn about resources
CAMPUS
Student success will be the focus on campus this week during Academic Success Week, which starts today and continues through Thursday.
Shanda Hurla, coordinator for Academic Success Week and project coordinator in New Student Orientation, said the event was created to help students learn about the resources available on campus to help them succeed in classes.
Hurfa said the week was scheduled after classes started because it was easier for students to identify areas they needed help in academically.
Different programs are offered each day of the event, ranging from time management to wellness.
All events are free and a wide variety of campus offices will be involved in the events.

EDUCATION (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The majority of our students are at a graduate level so the program is small."
In the 2005-2006 academic year, the University graduated 420 graduate students and 200 undergraduates in education. For comparison, Roberts said Emporia State University, which doesn't have a doctoral program, has 1,150 undergraduates.
Emporia State University was one of four education programs rated as exemplary in the report.
Before students can apply to KU's School of Education their junior year, they must have completed observation hours in local schools, scored well on an essay exam and worked with a range of students. The minimum GPA requirement is 2.75, but the average is 3.45 for students in the school.
Levine also suggested that all education schools should require a five-year program, something the school already has in place.
The United States has a teacher shortage that the report estimates
as 200,000 per year. Levine stated training high-quality teachers to improve student achievement is key.
Levine proposed expanding current doctoral schools to admit more students. But Roberts disagreed that more advanced schools should take
take on that many more (students) at a research-level school."
She would rather see the quality be improved at the current masters schools rather than closing them altogether.
"In our school, training teachers is a small part of what we do. The majority of our students are at a graduate level so the program is small."
schools should take in the slack.
"He's essentially saying we pick that up," Roberts said. "The problem with that is I don't know we can
SALLY ROBERTS associate dean of the School of Education
Roberts said. At a masters university, it is 60 to 70 percent teaching. Roberts also suggested professors use research time to study teaching.
KU faculty spend about 40 percent of their time teaching, 50 percent doing research and 10 percent in service to the KU community.
"We should take the lead in finding out what does make good teachers," she said.
The Education Schools Project assesses 1,206 American education programs. The report is based on national surveys of education school alumni, principals, education school deans and faculty, visits to 28 education schools and an examination of student achievement. It is the second in a series of policy reports based on results of a four-year study about America's education schools.

Scott Emery, Manhattan senior and a friend of Kanost's, said Kanost was in the middle of a group walking from one party to another when the Camry approached. Emery said witnesses told him the Camry was traveling at least 20 mph over the speed limit.
FATALITY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Later Saturday, the silver Toyota Camry and driver were located. The investigation is ongoing and the police department has not said whether an arrest has been made.
Car-on-pedestrian accidents have not been an uncommon occurrence in Lawrence.
A similar accident occurred March 14, 2004, when 20-year-old Devin Emery of Wichita was killed while walking near Teepee Junction, north of Lawrence on U.S. Highways 24-40, after a party celebrating former fraternity Sigma Nu's skit in that year's Rock Chalk Revue.
The most recent vehicle-pedestrian fatality occurred April 9.
2005, in the 2500 block of West Sixth Street, according to published media reports. A 25-year-old Olathe woman died from injuries she received while crossing the street as patrons were leaving the Cadillac Ranch. That particular spot was also the site of an earlier hit-and-rush accident on Nov. 19, 2004 when a Baker University student was struck while crossing the street. He died after being life-flighted to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.
Police ask that anyone who witnessed the accident, or saw the vehicle prior to the accident, call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7501.

OBITUARY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"He never held a grudge."
Ned Epps, Manhattan senior, said Kanost's calm temperament was picked up by those around him and put him at the center of his group of friends, a place where he thrived.
"He loved getting all of us together," Epps said. "His circle of friends and his family were the most important things to him. Hed drop everything else for them."
Kanost's parents, Michael and Jill Kanost of Manhattan, expressed through friends that they did not wish to speak with the University Daily Kansan for this story. Michael Kanost is a distinguished professor of biochemistry at Kansas State University.
Emery said Kanost had planned to attend medical school and had completed his applications just a few days before the accident.
"Ryan was going to become a
good doctor," Emery said.
In addition to his professional ambitions, friends said Kanost passionately embraced several hobbies, including coaching basketball for middle school-aged youth in Lawrence.
More than anything, Kanost's friends wanted him to be remembered for his dry sense of humor and positive outlook on life.
"He was such a fun and funny guy," Eps said. "We'll just remember him as a 'lighter side' kind of guy. He didn't like to dwell on the negative.
"It really was a privilege to know him for so long."

》 OUR VIEW
Philanthropy back in style for the rich
If there is one giant upside to the growing rich/poor disparity in the United States, it is this significant development: Philanthropy is vogue again.
OK, maybe it never really went out of style, but for a long time people made charitable contributions simply for the tax deduction. But check out the newsstands now: There's Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, each donating huge sums to fight AIDS and poverty. (Buffett's donation to the Gates Foundation was the largest single act of charity in American history.) There's the local Kauffman Foundation, lauded in The Kansas City Star for its excellent work. And sure enough, there's philanthropy's rock star Bill Clinton jetting all over the world raising money and awareness, and gracing the covers of political opposites Fortune and The New Yorker simultaneously.
Philanthropy is suddenly the hottest cause around. Giving is the new earning, and private capital, not public funding, is driving this trend. Hedge fund managers are lining up to give money to Robin Hood, a New York-based foundation made up entirely of celebrities and Wall Street's richest that combats local poverty. It is appropriate that the extraordinarily wealthy and successful hedge fund managers should lead the effort to help those less fortunate.
Charity has become such a popular gig that the hippest entity, the Clinton Foundation, doesn't even have any money. It simply coordinates efforts of the world's richest to fight poverty and sickness, depending entirely on the tireless efforts of the suddenly apolitical Bill Clinton. Who else could form a charitable partnership between Barba Streisand and Rupert Murdoch?
This all demonstrates that material success means little in principle if not accompanied by wisdom. Buffett has shown for decades that he is one of the smartest men in the world, but only now has it become clear just how wise he is. He knows that all the personal wealth in the world cannot obscure the fact that millions live in unfathomable poverty.
The confluence of celebrity and charity creates a wonderful opportunity for students to get involved at any level. Take Buffett's example to heart. Think about stopping next time you see an organization asking for donations on Wescoe Beach, and give what you can.
John. F. Kennedy once said, "If we cannot help the many who are poor, we cannot save the few who are rich." Let's be glad that advice is in style again.

COMMENTARY
Zoom out and realize life equals change
Scrambling out of bed, you come to your second realization of the morning. Your midterm, the one that counts for a third of your grade, is today.
After smacking the snooze button for the fifth time, you just happen to squint at your alarm clock, which is emitting its nails-on-chalk board screech, and realize that you have 15 minutes to get to class.
Tearing the room apart in search for any pair of jeans, you glance out the window just in time to watch the last bus pull away, nearly mocking the fabulous start to your day.
Finally, only after waiting at every stoplight and parking illegally, you make it to class with less then half-an-hour to take the exam.
You run out the door, and of course what started as a drizzle of rain has become a pouring shower, perhaps to replace the one you missed this morning. You spend the next few minutes desperately trying to start the "piece of junk" while contemplating why you even bothered waking up.
Uttering profanities under your breath, you run down the hall to your roommate and beg her to borrow her car. Half asleep, she points to the keys on the floor and in a slumbered mumble says, "Good luck starting the piece of junk."

breath.
It's these days, when nothing can go right and everything that can go wrong does, that you need to remember one word: breath.
Yes, breathe. I am aware that this action essential to life occurs more than a dozen times a minute, but it is also this essential action that you have the ability to control. Yoga, meditation, even playing a musical instrument all require the control of
It's the days when you wake up and remember the fight with your significant other, when you and your best friend are still not on talking terms, when you are still broke and will be for at least another two weeks, when you are so stressed out with school and work that the more there is to do, the shorter time seems to become. The days you spill coffee all over yourself just as you finish the 12-page paper due in an hour and at the exact moment you hit print, the computer decides to have a seizure and resolves to stop working.
So inhale, exhale and consider the situation at hand. Be it an every day dilemma, or a tragic event, remember that all the problems we encounter just need perspective.
You have control of every situation. While it may not seem like it at the time, you are the only one who can control your reactions and as a result your actions to seemingly uncontrollable circumstances. While the world around may never cease to spin less than a million miles a minute, you still have the ability to slow down and take a breath.
Zoom in and out of your current circumstances. Look at the little picture. Is the situation so ridiculous that the only thing left to do is laugh about it? Or zoom out to the big picture. What can you derive from even the worst experience?
Think about all the things that you value, and step back to realize that just because a certain part of your life is not working out exactly as you hoped, the world goes on.
A well-known quote I first saw on a bumper sticker of a car says it all:"Life is change, growth is optional."

I take Independence to Prospect, overlooking a City Hall that has failed its citizens' educational needs for as long as I can remember. From there, it's only a few minutes to the highway, where I pass through cities like Mission, Leawood, Overland Park, Olathe — places with some of the best public schools in the country.

It only takes me about 45 minutes to get to school every day — I come from Kansas City — but I might as well be entering another universe.
For Hispanics, the numbers are even more staggering — 3 percent of the University's student body is Hispanic-American, -while more than 8 percent of the state's population is of Hispanic origin.
average) the percentage of black students at the University is even smaller,at 3 percent.
The University is not alone in this predicament. A recent NPR story reported that black enrollment at UCLA has dropped nearly 60 percent in the decade since the state outlawed the use of race in university admissions. Situated in the midst of a county with more than 1 million black residents, the number of African-American students in UCLA's incoming freshman class for 2006 is — wait for it — 96.
If the University of Kansas is to be a university for all Kansans, as well as for others across the country, some big changes need to be made. Education is the main pathway to success and security in this country. That path is blocked off for far too many Americans. Unfortunately, things are only getting worse. As many students who rely on aid can tell you, college is getting harder and harder to pay for as the years go by, largely because of recent cuts in student loan programs under the Bush administration.
Higher education is just one area in which the strides toward equality achieved during the Civil Rights Era have been steadily, methodically dismantled by the political descendants of the old "white resistance" to desegregation.
economic status is the final, determining factor of who makes the cut at the University.
If I were a gambling man, I'd bet that wealthy people in areas with top-notch school districts — or those who can afford private school — account for a disproportionate chunk of the freshman class each year, while low-income people across the region, regardless of race, send only a select few.
Access to University should be equal
Much of this privilege falls on racial lines:It's no secret that llohson County is mostly white, while Kansas City, Mo.,is largely black and Hispanic. The statistics show as much.In a state with a relatively small black population (5.9 percent, about half the nation $ ^{a} $
COMMENTARY
Clearly, there are no easy answers to this situation. In the minds of some, no answer at all is needed, because things are just as they should be. I don't have the space here to argue with people who think that racism and inequality are no longer issues, or that most KU students are actually here solely because of their "merits." You'll probably get laughed at for saying that type of thing in my neighborhood — but like I said, this campus and my neighborhood are universes apart.
But race is not where the issue ends in many ways, it's not even where it begins. Access to education isn't a purely black and white issue. Social class is a more hidden, but just as present, factor in University enrollment. It may even be said that, at the end of the day, socio-

Candidates make immigration an issue in 2006 state election
BY JOHN HANNA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Jim Barnett, Nancy Boyda and David Haley come from different hometowns and different political parties, but they've all made illegal immigrants an issue as they attempt to dislodge well-established incumbents from office.
Barnett, an Emporia Republican, is challenging Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, suggesting she not only won't get tough with illegal immigrants but will coddle them.
Boyda, the Topeka Democrat taking on Republican Rep. Jim Ryun in the 2nd Congressional District, has argued that his support this year for tough border control legislation doesn't make up for a decade of neglect on immigration issues.
Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, hopes to unseat Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh and has picked up arguments Thornburgh faced in the Republican primary — that he's been so lax about voter fraud that illegal immigrants might be voting.
It's all evidence of Kansans' frustration over illegal immigration, particularly from Mexico. It's fanned by concerns about the economy, fears about national security and, perhaps unfortunately, some racism.
Illegal immigration hasn't been an important issue in past contests for governor or other state offices. Even in congressional
races, it has seemed, secondary, except for the 3rd District race in 2004, where Republican challenger Kris Kobach emphasized it in his unsuccessful attempt to oust Democratic incumbent Dennis Moore.
The debate this past year in Washington undoubtedly has spurred voter interest. In fending off Barnett's criticism, Sebelius has said immigration is an issue because the federal government isn't dealing with it adequately.
"It starts with the border. That's where the problem lies," said Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran. "Washington needs to step up."
Yet related policy issues for states allow Barnett to talk about immigration.
For example, Sebellius signed a law in 2004 to allow some illegal immigrants to qualify for the lower tuition rates reserved for legal Kansas residents at state universities and colleges, rather than paying the rates for out-of-state students.
The issue is perhaps more symbolic than substantive. An immigrant must have lived in Kansas at least three years and must either seek or promise to seek legal residence. Only 221 students took advantage of the law last year.
"Ilegal should mean illegal," Barnett said. "They are breaking the law, and the governor wants to reward them."
But it's nevertheless a powerful symbol of what's wrong for some Kansans.
The question of whether illegal immigrants might be voting in Kansas elections touches both the governor's race and the secretary of state's.
Barnett criticizes Sebelius over her veto in 2003 of a bill that, among other things, would have required all voters to show identification at the polls. She favored a plan to require ID only from new voters, which passed the next year.
The Republican challenger argues that requiring ID from all voters will prevent illegal immigrants from voting, but Sebelius and her supporters that similar laws have been struck down by judges in Georgia and Missouri.
In the secretary of state's race, Haley's issue isn't so much having voters show ID as the care Thornburgh and other election officials have shown in monitoring who's registering to vote. He contends Thornburgh has been inattentive.
Thornburgh has said fears that illegal immigrants are voting are unfounded. He faced the same criticism from Sen. Kay O'Connor, of Olathe, in the GOP primary and captured 73 percent of the vote. He also defeated Haley soundly in 2002.
Perhaps the most intriguing political dynamic is in the 2nd District race, a rematch of the 2004 race.
Ryun supported legislation to toughen border security and subject illegal immigrants to felony charges.
CRASH
Deceased pilots cleared decades after plane wreck as more details come to light.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — First there was the crash that killed the three crew members and 13 passengers aboard TWA Flight 260.
Next, there was a report that
generated suspicion that the Kansas City-based crew intentionally flew the plane into the Sandia Mountains shortly after taking off on Feb. 19, 1955, from the Albuquerque, N.W. airport.
Finally, last week, there was healing for the family of the victims as they hiked to the scene of the crash to remember and thank the man who cleared the pilots of wrongdoing in the crash.
"God bless you," said Jana Childers of Kansas City, who was 11 months
old when she lost her father, co-pilot Jim Creason. "There are no words. Just, thank you."
The subject of her thanks was Larry DeCelles.
A fellow TWA pilot from Kansas City, he was shocked when an initial
report about the crash noted "excellent weather" and went on to include this damming sentence: "From all available evidence, and the lack of any evidence to the contrary, the board can conclude only that the direct course taken by the flight was
intentional."
Civil Aeronautics Board authorities later said they were suggesting only that perhaps the pilots Creason, 29, and Ivan Spong.44

game recap
FOOTBALL
FIRST QUARTER
Kansas scored the first points of the game on a 37-yard field goal by Scott Webb on its opening drive of the half. USF's drive was keyed by a 41-yard kickoff return that helped set up a touchdown to give the team a 7-3 lead. Kansas drove down the field and had the ball inside the five yard line as time expired in the quarter.
South Florida drove the length of the field, down to the three yard line, before turning the ball over on downs. Quarterback Adam Barmann started the game 3-for-3, but Kansas' punted on its first possession of the game. On the Jayhawks' second possession, the team was moving towards midfield as the quarter ended.
THIRD QUARTER
Kansas turned the ball over twice in the quarter. Wide receiver Marcus Henry fumbled a pass in the end zone, giving USF the ball at its own 20 yard line. Barmann fumbled the ball twice on Kansas' second possession. The first fumble was recovered by offensive lineman David Ochoa, but Barmann was stripped again and the ball was recovered by USF, Aqib Talib intercepted a pass at the one-yard line, stopping a USF scoring opportunity late in the second quarter.
FOURTH QUARTER

BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Running back Jon Cornish scored on the first play of the quarter, giving Kansas the 10-7 lead, The Jayhawks scored a field goal on their next possession. USF had the ball deep in Kansas territory with less than a minute to play, but wide receiver Ean Randolph dropped a pass that would have given his team the ball inside the five yard line. Kansas' Justin Thornton intercepted a desperation pass on the game's final play.
Believe it or not, that could mean a whole lot of trouble for Mark Mangino.
"I feel like there's so many things that I've seen and so many things that I've gone through in my career," Barmann said. "I just feel a little
Barmann, who played for injured starter Kerry Meier, arguably put together the best game of his career. He completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and threw for a career-high 273 yards in Kansas' 13-7 victory. The senior quarterback looked poised, confident and made few mistakes.
For the first time in years, Mangino entered the season with a set starter at quarterback. Meier's position, however, may be up for grabs after Barmann's performance.
Even though he hadn't started a game in nearly a year, Barmann ran the offense with relative ease. He made passes down the field, converted key third downs and, most importantly, didn't throw the ball to the other team.

He looked comfortable in the pocket, leading Kansas on three scoring drives. Not known as a running quarterback, Barmann also executed the option to near perfect
more comfortable back there now."
Barmann struggled the last time he saw any significant action. In last season's loss to Kansas State, Barmann misfired on numerous passes, throwing high or wide of his intended receivers. He also had a fumble and was nearly intercepted.

Jayhawks must emphasize blitzing to succeed in Big 12 Conference play
A stopwatch might not have been the best way to keep track of how much time South Florida quarterback Matt Grothe had to make his throws.
You could have used an hourglass, or maybe a sundial. Even one of those word-a-day calendars would have worked.
If that's what Kansas defensive coordinator Bill Young is using, Jayhawks fans should hope today's word is "blitz," as in, "The Jayhawks have yet to seriously commit to the blitz this season."

Women finish Fall Classic with winning record of 3-1
BY BETTY KASPAR
The theme for the softball team during its fall schedule is to learn from its mistakes and get better every day.
"We did well. I think we did better today than we did yesterday. We are going to get better each day," freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka said.
After this weekend's Fall Jayhawk Classic, the players are sticking to it.
After playing four games, Kansas finished the weekend 3-1.
Saturday Kansas dominated the first game of the tournament by run-ruling Pittsburg State 11-2. Senior Kassie Humphreys pitched against the Gorillas, got into trouble in the fifth inning and gave up the only two runs of the afternoon. The game ended when Sophomore Stevie Crisis to hit a two-run home run that
caused the run-rule to go into effect.
In the second game on Saturday, Missouri Western defeated Kansas 2-1. The team scored its only run in the fourth inning off of a Missouri Western error. The Griffons answered in the bottom of the seventh with a game-ending walk-off home run.
"We want that loss to sit in their craw and not let them ever think too much of themselves at this time," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Sometimes losses are the best thing for a team, sometimes for a young team you have to pound it in their head you can't show up against anybody — you have to come out ready to play every time."
Although Kansas lost the game, Bunge was still impressed with sophomore Valerie George's pitching performance.
"Valerie George didn't get many
chances last season behind Serena Settlemier and Kassie Humphreys", Bunge said. "It was nice to see her throw the ball as well as she did with confidence."
The Jayhawks defeated the Gorillas again Sunday 8-0. The game ended at the bottom of the fifth with a home run from freshman first baseman Amanda Jobe that caused the run rule to go into effect again. Bunge was very pleased with Vertelka's shutout-pitching performance in the game. In the last game of the tournament, Kansas defeated Butler Community College 10-3. The team capitalized early in the game by scoring five of its 10 runs in the first inning. Humphreys pitched the first three innings, and didn't give up a hit. Freshman utility player Caitlin Kenney pitched three innings, and gave up three runs. George came in
to close the game in the seventh and struck out the first three batters.
Against Butler, the team had no errors.
During the tournament, Bunge felt the Jayhawks' performance was a little shaky because of inexperience, but was very pleased with the team's final outing for the weekend.
"We are excited about our talent and we are excited about what we can do. We feel our pitching staff is going to be our strength," Bunge said. "I think we are going to surprise people offensively, and I think a lot of people will look past us. I am excited for the year."

ND rebounds late to defeat Michigan
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Trailing by 17 points at halftime, Notre Dame faced a sobering reality: A season that began with so much promise was about to be derailed by a second straight defeat.
Coming off a blowout loss to Michigan, the Irish looked beaten again — still down 16 going into the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Michigan State looked unstoppable in front of a fired-up crowd.
"I think that at halftime the guys realized the season was starting to fall away for us," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said. "Everyone could feel the same thing. After the game we played last week, and now we're down big at halftime ... it was basically 'Hey fellas, what's it gonna be? Are we just going to be a bunch of also-rans or are we going to come out here and give it a chance to win the game?"
In stunning fashion, the Irish stepped up.
Cornerback Terrail Lambert capped a furious rally by returning an interception 27 yards for a touchdown with 2:53 remaining to give the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish a 40-37 victory over the Spartans on Saturday night.
That the decisive plays came from the Irish defense, exposed in the loss to the Wolverines and for much of the game Saturday, may have been the biggest surprise.
"Give all the credit to Notre Dame," Michigan State running back Javon Ringer said. "They stepped up when they had to."

Colorful language concerns officials
NEW YORK — Off-color language used in recruiting fliers for the Columbia University men's ice hockey team has triggered a concerned response from student government representatives and Athletic Department officials.
On Thursday night, the presidents of Columbia's four undergraduate councils sent a joint letter to several University administrators asking them to take action regarding the language. The fliers, which the team posted during orientation week, included the phrase "Stop being a p----"
Team leaders apologized for the wording in the fliers.
"We made an error in judgment with regard to the Columbia campus," team President M. Fergus
Glynn, and Vice President Zachary Phillips said in a statement. "We truly had no intentions to offend anyone or to make fun of women. We were merely trying to make a clever and humorous flier ... that would garner more interest."
In a statement released on Thursday, M. Dianne Murphy, director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education, expressed disappointment with the team's actions, adding that it did not receive the approval of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education before posting the advertisement.

NEW ORLEANS — Another semblance of normalcy returns to New Orleans tonight.
For the first time since the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina, the Superdome hosts a football game when the New Orleans Saints meet the Atlanta Falcons in a matchup of 2-0 NFC South rivals.
In August 2005, the Superdome was a worldwide focal point of the damage and chaos from one of the strongest hurricanes in American history, which killed nearly 2,000 people. Katrina's winds ripped the roof from the stadium, and some 30,000 refugees eventually were sheltered there.
That forced the Saints to play their home games last year in San Antonio, Baton Rouge, La. - and one game against the New York Giants in East Rutherford, NJ, which was considered a home contest for the Saints even though it was played at Giants Stadium.

Europe captures third-straight cup
STRAFFAN, Ireland — Favorites or underdogs in the Ryder Cup, it doesn't matter to the Europeans.
They boasted of having their best team ever, then backed it up in dominant fashion by turning the Ryder Cup into another rout Sunday to win for an unprecedented third straight time.
Luke Donald holed a 10-foot pan putt that gave Europe 14 points, all it needed to keep the shiny gold trophy. Moments later, Henrik Stenson closed out his match to give his team an outright victory, and the celebration was on.
It was the first time in the 79- year history of the Ryder Cup that Europe won outright three straight times. Going for three in a row in 1989, they settled for tie to retain the cup.

Buffaloes outlast Jayhawks in five
Colorado dominates last two games to win
BY DREW DAVISON
"It was a game we could of and should of won," Katie Martinicin, freshman setter, said. "A lot of things were going our way; they really just took it away from us."
With a two-game lead going into the fourth game, the wheels came off for the Kansas volleyball team and Colorado cruised to a victory on Saturday.
Kansas committed six errors in the last game, leading to a teamlow -100 hitting efficiency.
"The fifth game is a game where you can't make errors," Correa said. "They won because they didn't make errors, so you can't allow yourself to make errors."
The Jayhawks (8-5, 1-3 Big 12) were defeated by the Buffaloes (7-4, 3-1) in five games, 28-30, 30-22, 30-20, 19-30, 7-15 in Boulder, Colo.
Up 2-1 after three games, Kansas let Colorado back into the match in game four when Colorado had a .515 hitting efficiency compared to Kansas' .194.
By losing both of their Big 12 Conference road matches so far this season, the Jayhawks "must win" when they play at Texas Tech Wednesday — both to build confidence in a team that hasn't won two conference matches this season and because the Jayhawks' opponent has struggled all season. Texas Tech is winless in conference play.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said, "We had the effort, but we couldn't execute."
"Last night was a tough night for us, so we just woke up today and thought about the next game;" Correa said. "We must win."
Despite the loss, Jayhawk coach Ray Bechard said the team excelled in the two areas they most wanted to excel in — serving and blocking.
Kansas out-blocked Colorado 16 to 11. They also had a season-high eight serving aces, with just five serving errors.
"We had some opportunities, but we didn't respond as well," Bechard said. "We were in complete control, so it's just unfortunate we couldn't play long enough."
Correa led Kansas with 18 kills on a .349 hitting efficiency. Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, and Emily Brown, junior right side hitter/setter, also tallied double-digit kills, 16 and 11 respectively. Martinicinch led Kansas with 51 assists on the night.
The reigning Big 12 Player of the Week, Colorado's Amber Sutherland, led her team to the victory with 18 kills and three serving aces.
"It was a great match, a lot of quality volleyball." Beachard said.
Next up, Kansas plays at Texas Tech Wednesday. The team returns to Lawrence Sept. 30 to take on Iowa State.

Jayhawks split weekend
BY MARK DENT
Jessica Bush has done everything possible this season to make sure Kansas does not end up on the wrong end of a weekend sweep.
The sophomore forward came through again Sunday, scoring the game-winning goal in the 68th minute against Oklahoma to give Kansas a 10- victory.
It was the second week in a row that Bush scored a pivotal goal to prevent the Jayhawks (6-3, 1-1) from losing both of their weekend games. She had the second goal in Kansas' 2-0 victory against Central Florida last efforts Sunday proved even more important. With the Jayhawks reeling after a double-overtime loss Friday and facing an 0-2 hole in Big 12 play, Bush helped her team to victory again after receiving a pass from freshman forward Shannon McCabe.
McCabe took the ball on the defensive side of the midline. She dribbled it nearly the length of the field before sliding the ball to Bush, who was lined up on the opposite side of the box. Bush took the ball and dribbled once before firing it into the upper-right corner of the net.
Bush's second goal of the year was the highlight of a second half in which Kansas outplayed Oklahoma.
Kansas' offense ripped off nine shots after only three shots in the first half.
Unlike the offense, the defense played in top form all 90 minutes. Defenders held the Sooners to 12 shots for the game and only four in the decisive second half, Sophomore goalkeeper Julie Hanley notched four saves, earning her third shutout of the season. Only one shot has escaped the grip of Hanley the last three games.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks, that one shot mattered a great deal. It allowed Oklahoma State to defeat Kansas in double overtime 1-0 Friday night.
The Jayhawks had their best chances to win in the first overtime. They had five shots in the first overtime and held the Cowgirls to zero. Opportunities kept sailing away from the net, however, and Oklahoma State finally capitalized in the 106th minute.
The ball skipped away from the hands of Hanley and near the feet of Cowgirl Yolanda Odenyo, who easily knocked it in for the game-winning goal.
"We had the better chances and left it on the field for sure," Kansas coach Mark Francis said. "Unfortunately, they had that lucky bounce with about five minutes left."
Kansas has two more tough road games this weekend when they travel to play Creighton and Nebraska.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Detroit Tigers fought off their late-season slump and clinched their first playoff berth since 1987, scoring nine runs in the second inning Sunday and coasting to an 11-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.
Enjoying a turnaround season under new manager Jim Leyland, Detroit assured itself of no-worse than the AL wild-card berth, and headed into the final week of the season with a 1 1/2-game lead in the AL Central. The Tigers, who regained the best record in the major leagues at 94-62, went ahead early for the second straight day, following up on Saturday's 10-run first.
Craig Monroe hit a three-run homer that gave Justin Verlander (17-9) an 8-0 lead and chased starter Runelvys Hernandez (6-10). Brandon Inge then homered on Todd Wellemeyer's first pitch.
Detroit's last trip to the postseason was 1987, when the Tigers won the AL East and lost to Minnesota 4-1 in the AL championship series.
Leyland had not managed since 1999 with the Colorado Rockies. In addition during the offseason, the Tigers added free-agent pitcher Kenny Rogers, who anchored a staff that included Verlander, Joel Zumaya and Zach Miner. Detroit's offense already had been rebuilt somewhat with the signing of catcher Ivan Rodriguez after the 2003 season and Magglio Ordonez after the 2004 season. The Tigers also acquired shortstop Carlos Guillen from Seattle in January 2004.
Detroit spurted at the start of this season, taking over sole possession of the division lead on May 21 and staying in first place ever since. The Tigers opened a season-high 10-game margin on Aug. 7, when they were a major league-best 76-36, but then went 15-26 before arriving at Kansas City for the weekend series with their division lead down to a half-game over second-place Minnesota.
The Tigers set an American League record for losses in 2003, going 43-119, then improved to 72-90 in 2004. But Detroit went 71-91 last season, losing 29 of its last 39 games en route to its 12th straight sub-.500 finish. General manager Dave Dombrowski replaced manager Alan Trammell with Leyland, who teamed with him to lead the 1997 Florida Marlins to a World Series title.
The Tigers swept the Royals, extending Kansas City's losing streak to six. The Royals must win four of their last seven games to avoid their third straight .100-loss season and fourth in five years.
tour in Curtis Granderson's sacrifice fly and Magglio Ordonez's two-run, two-out single put the Tigers ahead 3-0, and Carlos Guillen and Matt Stairs followed with RBI singles.
Hernandez allowed eight runs, seven hits and two walks in twothirds of an inning, but just one of the runs was earning because of a
throwing error by third baseman Jeff Keppinger on Omar Infante's sacrifice.

Kansas 13 South Florida 7 September 23,2006
South Florida QB new to losing
Matt Grothe, usually calm under pressure, throws two interceptions in Saturday's game
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Pressure situations were nothing new to Matt Grothe. Losing was.
With games on the line this season, Grothe, South Florida's freshman quarterback, had excelled. Held already thrown three game-deciding touchdown passes this season. His last two game-winning touchdown passes on what could have been his team's final drives. So with South Florida down six with 66 seconds to go, Grothe didn't expect his last pass of the game to be an interception.
"There was a couple plays on that last drive, where if I would have thrown it just a little bit shorter — a completion here, a completion there
Grothe's numbers on Saturday didn't live up to the ones that made him the best freshman quarterback in the nation, going 17-for-32 for 196 yards, and an interception at the end of each half. But he had moments that showed his performance against
— but it's over," Grothe said. "It's over."
On five of South Florida's 10 drives, Grothe took at least four snaps without facing a third down, exhibiting his knack for forcing defenses to stay on their toes.
Kansas was an exception, not the rule.
He also converted on eight of 15 third down plays, converting seven of 10 in the second half, proving his ability to maintain drives.
Grothe even displayed his scrambling ability. While sophomore running back Benjamin Williams managed just 10 rushing yards, Grothe went off for 66 and a touchdown.
However, the lasting impression Grothe left was that if there's time remaining on the clock, he has a chance to lead his team down the field. At the end of the first half, he took the Bulls 39 yards in a little more than 20 seconds. At the end of the game, he carried the offense 34 yards in less than a minute. Both times he put South Florida in scoring position, but savvy scouting on Kansas' side led to two interceptions.
"We watched film of him every day," Kansas freshman cornerback Anthony Webb said. "We noticed with this quarterback here, he likes to stare down' one side. When he looks at one side, he's going to go to that side."
Not only did Kansas discover Grothe's tendency to stare down receivers, they found he usually locked in on the same receiver, senior Ean Randolph, who entered Saturday's game as South Florida's leading receiver. This knowledge came in handy for Kansas throughout the game, especially on South Florida's last drive of the game.
Grothe began the last drive with two straight incomplete passes. The second was in Randolph's direction and was nearly picked off by sophomore linebacker Mike Rivera. Grothe went to Randolph again to convert on third down, but they wouldn't connect again. Of Grothe's last three passes, only Kansas freshman free safety Justin Thornton caught one.
"We definitely moved the ball on
them, but we just couldn't capitalize on a couple things." Grote said.
In addition to learning Grothe's tendencies, Kansas learned what defensive alignment to use to prevent him from claiming his third fourth-quarter comeback.
"They won a game-winning touchdown in a similar situation, but we lined up in a different defense than the team lined up in last week," Kansas sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib said. "It would have been a little bit harder for them to run the vertical stuff because we had two people over the top."
quotable
Game film worked against Grote this week, but he'll use that same tape to critique himself and make sure he succeeds in his next pressure situation.

Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier sat out Saturday's game after suffering an undisclosed injury in the loss to Toledo. Prior to Saturday's game against South Florida, senior quarterback Adam Barmann took all the snaps with the first-team offense. Meier took the field, in uniform, moments before kickoff, but stood on the sidelines wearing a baseball cap the entire game. He is currently listed as "day-to-day."
Coach Mark Mangino said he decided late Thursday night that Meier would not play against South Florida.
Following Saturday's game, Mangino said Meier would be reevaluated later this week.

Last week, Mangino said Meier was injured early in the fourth quarter of the Toledo game after having his right arm driven into the turf.

4,6,6,9,9,10 and 11 yards. Six of those eight situations qualify as third-and-long, a play the offense should never be allowed to convert.
Early in the season, it was obvious why the Jayhawks didn't blitz. Their secondary wasn't getting the job done, and the team couldn't risk giving up a big play by leaving an inexperienced cornerback stranded.
Now there is more stability at the position. Safety Jerome Kemp is looking healthier every week. Cornerback Sadiq Muhammed missed Saturday's game with a "nagging injury" but is expected to return this week. Most importantly, cornerback Aqib Talib is back, and has reestablished himself as a player who opposing quarterbacks must throw away from. He said he's not opposed to the blitz.
"We're trying to call more plays and mix it up," he said. "However long we've got to cover, we're going to cover."
Defense end Paul Como said the defense installed some new schemes for this game, and thought that when the unit tried to put pressure on the quarterback, it worked out well.
"It's always nice running in there to try to go get the quarterback," he said. "I've just got to tackle him
when I get through, instead of running by him."
That will happen. Como and the rest of the line will fix that this week in practice. The question is whether or not they will be allowed to go after quarterback Zac Taylor next week at Nebraska.
If they aren't, Young's calendar might have a different word.

tion on Kansas' lone touchdown drive of the game. Barmann ran to the right side of the field, pitching the ball to senior running back Jon Cornish, who ran downfield for 13 yards. He also nearly had a touchdown pass in the second quarter, but wide receiver Marcus Henry fumbled the ball in the end zone. USF recovered the ball for a touchback.
Other than a fumble in the second quarter, Mangino said Barmann played a nearly flawless game.
"The thing I liked about Adam tonight was he looked confident throwing the ball". Mangino said. He just sat in the pocket and he read the routes, got his progressions and delivered the ball. That shows you he's capable. He's always been capable."
Meier, who injured his right arm in last week's loss to Toledo, was evaluated throughout the week by doctors and Mangino and it was decided late Thursday night that Barmann would get the starting nod. After Saturday's game, Mangino said he didn't know if Meter would be available next Saturday.
With the beginning of Big 12 Conference play looming on Saturday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Mangino may have a quarterback controversy on his hands.
Even if he is, it's hard for Mangino to ignore Barmann's impressive performance.
It would be nothing new, though. Mangino has had to deal with rotating several quarterbacks in each of the past three seasons.
After the game, Mangino refused to discuss any possible change at quarterback.
"I haven't even taken a shower yet," Mangino said. "I'm not going to give that much thought tonight."
The situation will have to be addressed eventually, though. While Kansas' offense certainly wasn't perfect on Saturday night, it ran as smoothly as it has in a long time.
"The main thing is we took a bunch of kids that lost a tough game on the road last week and came back and played a very, very good football team here." Mangino said. "That tells you a little bit about the character of our kids and does provide a boost from us going up to Nebraska."
The Jayhawks had three wide receivers — Brian Murph, Marcus Henry and Dexton Fields — with at least 50 yards. Cornish had an average night, rushing for 105 yards on 26 carries. He got a majority of those yards, 35 of them, on a tackle-breaking run in the fourth quarter.
Junior kicker Scott Webb made two field goals Saturday after starting the season 0-for-2. Webb made kicks of 37 and 42 yards, respectively.
Barmann's performance certainly provided a spark for Kansas, coming off an emotional doubleovertime loss last week. That momentum will be important, especially in Lincoln on Saturday.
-Cornback Aqib Talib said that he felt better playing in his

second game after being suspended to start the season, and that he was able to get into the flow of the game easier. He also addressed his standing with Mangino.
"We're on good terms. We're real good right now," he said. "Me and coach have always been good."
-Juniior tight end Marc Jones and freshman cornerback Anthony Webb made their first starts against USF. Jones started in place of senior wide receiver Brian Murph, and Webb started for junior Blake Bueltel. Also in the secondary, freshman Justin Thornton started for junior Sadiq Muhammed, who Mangino said was "not 100 percent."
-With the victory, Kansas has won a school-record nine straight home games at Memorial Stadium. The team is only one off the Big 12 record. Texas Tech has the lead with 10 straight home victories.
-Kansas and South Florida were tied scoreless at the end of the first half. It was the first time a Jayhawk game had been scoreless after two periods since 1980, when Kansas was scoreless after the second quarter with Oregon. That game in Eugene, Ore., ended tied at seven.
-Kansas created a turnover for the first time in two weeks. The Jayhawks got turnovers off an interception by sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib and a fumble recovery by senior defensive lineman Paul Como.

Four weeks into the season, Kansas is halfway to the six victories needed for a bowl. How do the Jayhawks’ postseason chances look?
The Jayhawks change to become bowl eligible for the second year in a row look decent because of their schedule. Texas is replaced with Oklahoma State and Colorado isn’t what it used to be. The team found a way to win a tough game and bounce back on Saturday helping it heads to Nebraska next week. The Jayhawks will continue to build momentum throughout a relatively punky big 12 conference schedule.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
With only three more victories needed for a bowl the Jayhawks, a completely different team at Memorial Stadium, have four winnable home games on the schedule. There’s no reason to think they can’t win three of these; if they can keep up their improved play in the secondary and can win the turnover battle, there’s no reason to think they cannot win a road game as well. Sven wins is suddenly looking realistic.
Kayvon Sarraf
Kansas isn’t going to be playing in a big time bowl, but it should qualify for the postseason. Winning three out of eight shouldn’t be too tough, especially without Oklahoma and Texas on the schedule. Its guest case scenery—the Jayhawks best season in Kansas will be speed on a setty at Weston in the last quarter of the season.
Kyle Carter
The Jayhawks can win just three or their remaining four home games and become boy's eligible. Moreover, a forging schedule has the Jayhawks playing Baylor, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State from the Big Ten. This year, if the defense continues to improve, and the offense finds its rhythm that Jayhawks should be thriving.

POLICE SHOOTING
Grin and bare it
Woman dies after Sunday's standoff
Chief of Police says victim 'desired' death
BY FRED DAVIS
Marsha Lynn Mace, a 36-year-old Lawrence resident, died after being shot Sunday during a standoff with Lawrence police that lasted more than four hours. Mace suffered two gunshot wounds, said Ron Olin, Lawrence Chief of Police.
Based on a note that was found at the scene, Olin said he feared this was "the conclusion she desired."
The standoff began Sunday morning after a Lawrence police officer was called to check on the welfare of a distressed woman at 110 Michigan St., lot 107.
The officer was "greeted by a gunshot through the window as he approached the door," Olin said. The officer retreated to his patrol car and called for assistance.
Throughout the standoff, Lawrence police and negotiators stayed in periodic contact with Mace, whom Olin said was "despondent" and speaking in "negative terms."
Olin said that at 1:23 p.m. Mace exited the residence and fired at two Lawrence officers. One officer returned fire and struck Mace. The location of the gunshot wounds will not be revealed until the autopsy, which was scheduled for Monday afternoon, is completed.
Vanessa Pearson/Kansar
The name of the officer who shot Mace will not be released until the investigation has concluded. Olin said the officer had been placed on paid administrative leave, as is the Lawrence Police Department policy for situations such as this.
The weekend shooting was the first time Lawrence police have shot someone since 1995.

LAWRENCE
Field narrowed to three in search for next city manager
BY MARK VIERTHALER
Two of the three final candidates for city manager have returned to Lawrence, years after graduating from the University of Kansas.
The candidates are David Corliss, Lawrence's interim city manager; Dennis Taylor, city manager of Eugene, Ore., and Leon Churchill, managing director of Reading, Pa. Corliss and Churchill both received their master's degrees in public administration. Taylor received a bachelor's degree from the University.
The first round of interviews was performed by Bennett Yarger Associates, an independent executive search agency. Commissioners met with the three final applicants Saturday for initial interviews. Follow-up interviews were done on Sunday. Mayor Mike Amyx released an official announcement following the sessions, saying the interviews were completed and the applicants had toured Lawrence to familiarize themselves with areas of industrial and residential growth.
Karon Reed, management analyst for the City of Lawrence personnel
office, said the current position was advertised at $120,000 to $135,000
annually plus benefits. Reed said the salary would be determined based on the person's experience and abilities.
Corliss has been the interim city manager of Lawrence since Mike Wilden resigned in March. He has worked for the city of Lawrence since 1990. Prior to serving as interim city manager, Corliss was the assistant city manager and director of legal services.
He said that he was interested in continuing his service in

Lovett said Kanost was in "typical Ryan form" at a going-away party for a program assistant at the Jaybowl this past June.
The program's director, Chip Taylor, said the bowling party was a unique opportunity for he and the program's assistants to get to know the students who worked for them, including Kanost.
"He was well-liked among the students and everyone else he worked with," Lovett said. "He always made everyone laugh."
"We competed and had a good time together," he said.

lowa pot grower arrested after downtown saunter
NAPLES, Fla. — Dennis Davis has reached celebrity status in a Spanish village he's never visited.
Janssen, 36, was arrested on marijuana charges Thursday after he was spotted taking a leisurely stroll through downtown, carrying his recently harvested pot plants, police said.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Aaron Janssen apparently made it way too easy for police.
"He was carrying it like you'd carry a bundle of presents. It was tall enough where he was looking over the top of them, and he's just walking like nothing's going on," Burdock said.
Janssen said the plants were part of his marijuana grown near the Des Moines River, but wouldn't say exactly where, Burdock said.
Polk County Chief Deputy Mark Burdock said he did a double-take when he looked out his office window at the county jail and saw Janssen walking down the side-walk with the stalks.
Three years ago, the 16-year-old put a message in a bottle that eventually washed up on a beach near Malpica.
The 2-foot serpent's name is Slim, a ball python who escaped from its tank in the sixth-grade science room it had occupied for five years at the Hauppauge Middle School.
The bottle was part of a project at Oak Ridge Middle School. Teachers there had students bring glass bottles with cork tops to class. On one side of a paper, the teachers wrote a note about themselves, with contact information.
Now, thanks to an article about the bottle published in a Spanish newspaper Aug.26, the whole town knows more about the American who lives more than 4,000 miles away than he knows about them.

On the other side, students wrote things about themselves, including their ages, where they went to school and what their lives in Naples were like.
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. — Students at a Long Island school have more than the three R's to deal with these days. They're hunting for a reptile running loose.
On Tuesday, teachers were putting Slim and another snake named Otis back into their containers when a student with a problem in the hall distracted them for a few moments.
"The calculating snakes took this as an opportunity to make a break for it", principal Maryann Fletcher explained to parents in a letter.
Deputies also found two two-pound bags of processed marijuana strapped to each of Janssen's legs, and a third wrapped in a sweater.
Slithering, actually.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — A man accused of stealing from his mother had a bone to pick with the prosecutor seeking $30,000 bond — it simply wasn't high enough.
"I stole from my mother. I don't think that bond's high enough," Cedric Criswell, 34, told District Judge Don Bourne on Wednesday.
Still, the principal promised that the school is "making every effort to locate the snake."To entice the critter, the school has set up heating lamps and traps filled with crickets.

Group unifies African women
BY BEN SMITH
Boyce
Vanessa Pearson/KANSAN
Alineh Edoro, Benin City, Nigeria, graduate student, is the president of the newly formed African Women Student Organization. A group of friends founded the group to provide opportunities for women to develop leadership skills and EDoro said, "to have a place to talk about our issues."
A new group on campus has formed with the goal of enlightening others to what they feel are neglected issues concerning women in Africa.
The African Women's Student Association held its first official meeting Wednesday at the Curry Room in the Kansas Union.
Ainehi Edoro, president of the organization and Benin City, Nigeria, senior, said the group was created as a sister organization to the African Student Association by some of that group's members.
The association, which began with six members, discussed its initiatives to promote leadership, empowerment and advocacy by and for African women at Wednesday's meeting.
"Back home, the case is that women's movements have given a great deal of power to women in government and culture," Edoro said. "Our organization intends to prepare women for leadership roles in their countries."
One thing the group will focus on is fostering a sense of community among faculty and students that they feel is lacking in other African student groups, Edoro said. The group's members plan to collaborate with more campus groups, attend movies and conferences, hold discussion panels and work to bring more cultural events on campus.
"We wish to serve as an avenue for cultural exchange," Edoro said. "We see this group as a way to create that."
Kunbi Sijuwade, Lagous, Nigeria, senior, and treasurer of the association, said the organization's events would help to make the presence of African women more visible. By doing this, the group hopes to get more people interested in its forum about the serious issues in Africa, Sijuwade said.
"One of the greatest problems in Africa is domestic violence," Sijuwade said. "Also, in political senses, women are treated as second-level citizens in many countries."
The association wants to let people know that African women exist by having fashion shows, cultural events and discussions, she said.
"We want to show them who we are and what we are about," Sijuwade said.
Omofolabo Ajayi-Soyinka, professor of women's studies and faculty adviser for the association said she hoped the group would help students be more aware of the situation in Africa.
"There isn't much African presence on campus," Ajayi-Soyinka said. "There is also a lot of misunderstanding about African women. There is more of a tendency for the media to focus on men."
Ajayi-Soyinka said it would be
beneficial for African women to have a group wherein they could interact with one another to avoid getting lost in the mix.
"It will be good for KU students as a part of education outside the classroom to hear different voices," she said.
Edoro said the group was open to all KU students.

Rec Center plans delayed
》 CONSTRUCTION
BY DANNY LUPPINO
University waits for study to determine correct humidity
Despite a delay to ensure consistent levels of humidity, the University of Kansas expects an addition to its Student Recreation and Fitness Center to be ready for student use at the beginning of the Fall 2008 semester.
The project, which will add four basketball courts, additional racquetball courts and an extended indoor track, is not expected to begin construction until March 2007.
Design and Construction Management is still in the planning stages of the project.
"We hope to be bidding the project some time in January with completion some time late Spring 2008," said Bob Rombach, special project manager for Design & Construction Management.
Rombach said the original schedule, devised in September of 2004, called for completion of construction about three months earlier than the current goal, but the plan was always to have the
addition open for 2008. He said it usually took 12 to 14 months to complete a construction project of the addition's size. The addition is planned to be approximately 45,000 square feet.
"It takes way longer than you would ever imagine," Rombach said.
He said a delay was caused by an energy-use study. Because the University wanted to use the original heating and cooling system in the addition a study was required to make sure a consistent level of humidity could then be maintained in both sections. This measure was intended to guarantee optimum comfort for students using the facility.
"We wanted to go the extra mile," Rombach said. "I would have liked to get it done faster, but engineers like to take their time."
Keith Pinkelman, program manager for the center and Lawrence senior, said he thought the extra measures were necessary because the weather could affect people working out when
extreme conditions were present outside.
Pinkelman said he looked forward to the expansion as an opportunity to enable more people to use the center's facilities.
"We get pretty big crowds on weeknights," Pinkelman said. "We definitely just want to make the rec center a bigger and better place for students to come."
Tyler Horken, Lawrence senior, agreed that crowds at the Rec Center could be a problem.
Horken said when the center first opened, he expected it to be bigger. He said he was happy an addition was forthcoming.
"Everyone's constantly waiting in line and fighting over equipment," Horken said.
Pinkelman said he did not expect any part of the Rec Center to close during the construction.

Salad recalled after spinach deaths
- Edited by Nicole Kelley
HEALTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - A Seattle company is recalling some salad products distributed in the Northwest because they may contain fresh spinach contaminated with E. coli, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday.
The recall, by Triple B Corp., involves products with spinach that may have been supplied by Natural Selections Foods, a California grower. Many of the 175 people sickened in the nation's E. coli outbreak reported eating spinach supplied by National Selections.
So far, 93 people have been hospitalized, including a Wisconsin woman who died, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.
Two other deaths have been reported in suspected cases — a child in Idaho and an elderly woman in Maryland — but those cases are still being investigated.
in California's Salinas Valley. The FDA has recommended people not eat fresh, raw spinach, though on Friday it said that spinach grown anywhere outside that area is safe to eat.
State and federal investigators since have traced the contaminated spinach back to three counties
Triple B, also known as S.T. Produce, is recalling salad products distributed to retail stores and delis in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, the FDA said. They were sold in a hard plastic container with a "use by" date of Aug. 22 through Sept. 20 on the bottom of the container.

Commuting students forced to overcome many challenges
BY MATT ELDER
While living at home may seem like a good idea and a way to save a little extra money, there are many unexpected obstacles that can make the experience frustrating.
"I have to get my butt up by six just to get into Lawrence, to make the Park and Ride bus and be at class by 8," said Shelby Evins, Olathe junior.
But Evins' struggle with her morning commute is only one of her transportation problems. On Mondays and Wednesdays, she makes the 30-mile drive into Lawrence for one 50-minute class.
"I actually spend more time
going to and from Lawrence than in Lawrence," Evins said. "It's just ridiculous."
After being told that the yellow parking zones were persistently full throughout the semester, Evins bought a Park and Ride pass from the parking department. She said that getting to campus in the morning was the easy part, but returning to her car after classes often took longer.
Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said that there were four buses on the route in the morning and that timing usually varied but the average was a pick-up every eight minutes. She said there were fewer buses in the afternoon.
Evins has found that while she had originally planned to save money this semester by living at home with her parents, the commute was dipping into her savings more than she thought it would. Even with the recent decline in gas prices, she said she was tired of having to fill her gas tank.
"I find myself going back to Lawrence a lot more than I had thought I would, like for group projects," she said. "If my partners are in Lawrence, that's where we meet and I've got to drive back again for just an hour or so."
However, Evins does get excited about drops in gas prices. She said she always paid close attention to
As a way to help students save on gas prices, the KU parking department offers students access to a carpooling program called Rideshare Service. Commuters can sign up at parking.ku.edu.
which specific filling stations had the lowest prices at the time.
Matt Say, De Soto senior, said the real burden of living outside of Lawrence was the afternoon crowd during his commute home. He said that he left campus at four or five oclock each day, but that his drive home often took considerably longer than his drive to campus.
"The morning doesn't even compare to the afternoon," Say said. "Traffic is a whole lot heavier in the afternoon."

Musicians use publicity, concerts for philanthropy
Pomeroy, a Kansas City, Mo. band, is using its music to raise awareness about global issues and to bring entertainment to soldiers abroad.
》 PROFILE
Pomeroy will perform a benefit concert for Amnesty International at 7 p.m. Thursday at Liberty Hall. All proceeds go to aid relief efforts in Darfur, Sudan.
Ron Francisco, professor of political science and former adviser to the KU Amnesty International group, said the situation in Sudan was "horrendous" and students should attend the concert if they cared about stopping genocide.
Ray Hodgson, Manhattan sophomore and officer of the Amnesty International group at the University of Kansas, said the concert was a way to make people aware of the genocide in Sudan. He said he hoped that once they learned more, they would want to take action.
Jeff Paleschek, who organized the event, said the purpose of the concert was to raise awareness as well as money. He said Pomeroy deserved credit for its generosity and willingness to help.
Pomeroy is using its music to reach out in other ways as well.
After the concert, the group will leave to perform for U.S. military troops in 10 Southwest Asian and Middle Eastern countries. The band will spend 25 days visiting military bases in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia. The five band members said this was their opportunity to serve their country as musicians.
This will not be the first time the band has traveled abroad to perform for troops.
The band spent several weeks overseas on an Armed Forces Entertainment tour in September 2004. Matt Marron, guitarist and vocalist for the group, said the band members were ready to go back "almost immediately" upon returning home.
Marron and vocalist/percussionist David Fairbanks said the audiences on the bases were the most appreciative they had ever played for.
"For us it was never a question of if we would go back, but when," Marron said.
"We can play a sell-out crowd here in the states and it probably wouldn't feel as good as playing for 50 marines in the middle of Afghanistan," Fairbanks said.
Fairbanks said the band stayed in huts and barracks with the soldiers and wore helmets and bulletproof vests while traveling with the troops. One night, the base they were staying at in Bagram, Afghanistan, was attacked by rockets.
Despite the potential dangers, Fairbanks said the rewards outweighed the risks. The band met numerous people overseas who later attended concerts back in the United States. The band members also brought home a video they shot of a Kansas City man saying hello to his family and gave it to the family members. Fairbanks and the other band members were eager to bring troops a piece of home.
"If there's any way we can incorporate art and our craft to help others, it's a beautiful thing," he said.

Kansas celebrates Pike despite history mixup
and raise the American flag. Years later, many Kansans believed that was the first time a U.S. flag was flown in the state.
People have known since the 1930s that Pike actually met with the tribal council of Pawnees in what is now Nebraska. But those who are planning the celebration and rededication of a monument to Pike say the event still was important in Kansas history and should be remembered.
REPUBLIC — A party is planned Saturday to note the bicentennial of a historic meeting in Republic County between explorer Zebulon Pike and Pawnee Indians — and celebrants aren't letting the small detail that the visit happened somewhere else get in the way.
He persuaded village leaders to
power the Spanish flag at the site
For many years, people believed that Pike arranged a grand council at the tribal village of the Pawnee Indians near Republic in September 1806. Pike's mission was to negotiate a peaceful agreement with tribes and establish United States dominance over the native people.
So, in September 1901, a 26-foot-tall granite monument was built in Republic County
"Pike was a lousy mapmaker; all his maps are wrong. There was no other data to tell where Pike would have been until the early 1930s, when the site in Nebraska was found."
TOM WITTY
Retired archaeologist
to honor Pike, who was the first American soldier to lead a party of explorers through the territory that became Kansas. Pike is best known today as the founder of Pike's Peak in Colorado.
In the 1930s, evidence was discovered that the tribal council meeting at a village between the Nebraska towns of Guide Rock and Red Cloud.
But that doesn't mean Kansans shouldn't celebrate the meeting, said Richard Gould, administrator of the Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site in Republic.
Historians say Pike traveled into Kansas, north of present-day Fort Scott, on Sept. 3, 1806. The expedition moved through what is now Dickinson, Saline, Ottawa and Cloud counties, heading for the Pawnee villages near the Kansas-Nebraska border. The group apparently crossed into Nebraska around Sept. 25 and stopped at a Pawene village near the Republican River, where the historic council occurred.
Part of the confusion over the location of the meeting can be blamed on Pike, said Toni Witty, retired Kansas state archaeologist.
"It may not tell an accurate story, but the monument is the reason this site was saved and preserved and the museum was built," he said. "Pike was one of the first American explorers to go through Kansas, and that's worth celebrating."
The centerpiece of the celebration will be the rededication of the Pike monument, which has been restored after being damaged by a tornado in May 2004.
"Pike was a lousy mapmaker; all his maps are wrong," said Witty, who lives in Topeka and was instrumental in the building of the Pawnee Indian Museum in 1965. "There was no other data to tell
Saturday's party won't be as big as the original unveiling of the monument in September 1901, when more than 10,000 people, including the governor and two state senators, attended, Gould said. Even bigger crowds attended a four-day event in 1906 celebrating the centennial of Pike's visit, he said.
where Pike would have been until the early 1930s, when the site in Nebraska was found."
Despite Pike's limited time in Kansas, Gould said the explorer always will be an important part of history.

OUR VIEW
Government and private spending out of control
Americans are facing a looming fiscal crisis of titanic proportions. In 2002, the savings rate as a percentage of disposable personal income was 2.4 percent. In 2005, it was -0.4 percent. This stunning statistic means that the American people are spending more money than they are earning. Our personal debt is building to dangerous levels, and there is no immediate fix in sight.
Of course, our government is no better. It's true that there is
historical evidence that tax cuts spur economic growth, but that does not call for the ignorance of basic math. The Bush administration has insisted it can continue to cut taxes and increase spending, but anyone who has ever balanced a checkbook knows this is no way to remain solvent. The cuts in spending Bush promised have never materialized; domestic discretionary spending in Bush's first five years increased more than the comparable spending under
Clinton and Johnson combined.
This is not a political problem, this is a policy problem. Both parties have proven completely inept at restraining spending, equally enchanted by the corruption of power once they attain it. But while the U.S. is spending itself into oblivion, the economies of other world powers are booming and threatening our global financial dominance. There is a reason Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is devoting so much
attention to China.
But fiscal intelligence starts at home with individuals. As students, we will be the generation that decides the nation's fiscal future. We can start by taking care of our own finances, which all too often range out of control. We are clear targets for credit card companies, with our limited financial knowledge and profligate spending. Next time you get a credit card offer, let it pass by.
Another easy way to boost
your financial I.Q. is to pay more attention to financial markets. Spend an hour watching Jim Cramer's Mad Money on CNBC — it may be the best show on television that no one our age is watching. Cramer makes the complex web of investing seem simple and accessible, and is relentlessly entertaining.
If we as citizens correct our finances on an individual level, perhaps the revision will spread to our state and local governments. It is essential that we rethink our national spending habits, as we are headed for a seemingly inevitable fiscal disaster. It will someday be up to us to maintain the financial power of the United States. Why not start now?

Empowered and confident, gay community can fight discrimination
After looking over my previous columns, I realized that when something makes me angry, I write about it. This week isn't any different.
Saturday night, my roommates and I hosted a party at our apartment to celebrate our friend, Nick Connell, and his award-winning short story that ran in the October issue of Playboy (go pick it up!). Obviously, the party was going to be Playboy-themed, so most of the guests dressed in lingerie, silk robes and bunny costumes. Among the dancing playmates and the scotch-drinking, Hugh Hefner look-alikes were two seemingly arrogant guys, popped collars and all. As they guzzled their Bud Lights, one looked at me (yes ... I was dressed as a boy bunny) and then whispered to the other. At that moment, they snickered and began to stare. If this had happened to me as a freshman, I would've cowered in the corner and my night would've been ruined. But in the last two years, I have grown immensely, and my growth shown through as I managed to get the homophobes thrown out of our party.

This definitely isn't the only time I've had eyes glued on me for doing something "gay" Even when I walk

down the sidewalks of Massachusetts Street with my tote (my friends call it my purse), I get more stares than the Playboy bunnies get tail.
A 2004 article in The American Journal of Public Health contained startling statistics on anti-gay harassment. A group of scientists administered a series of surveys among homosexual and bisexual men and found that 37 percent of these men experienced verbal harassment, while 11.2 percent reported discrimination and 4.8 percent were victims of violence. According to the study, gay youth and men who were more open about their sexuality made up a majority of the harassment victims. The study finally reported that "mistreatment was associated with lower self-esteem."
It should be a top priority of the leaders of the gay community to create a safer social environment and
to help members of the community cope with the psychological effects of harassment and discrimination. The study suggested that empowerment and community-building programs would play a vital role in preventing anti-gay harassment.
On a more personal level, gay individuals need to stand up and demand respect. Regardless of whether or not someone agrees with a certain lifestyle, there is a necessary amount of respect that should be shown to that person.
I am proud to be me. In fact, all gay people should be proud of their lives. Yet societal implications and cultural standards, both gay and non-gay, inflict negative sentiments within our community. Because of this, homosexuals should not stand for disrespect that is often shown to them by an ignorant few. We mustn't be consumed by our sexuality, but we should embrace the fact that we're unique individuals who offer the world a different, evolving perspective on life and the characters that play a part in it — even if we occasionally dress up as bunnies.

TALK TO US
Limit cell phone use while driving
SUBMISSIONS
I'll admit it, I talk on my cell phone while driving. And not just in emergencies either, unless the latest gossip between friends is considered an "emergency." But I have a Bluetooth that I use religiously and both hands are always (well, usually) on the wheel, so I feel like I'm being safe. But what I never thought about, and what most people don't think about, is how difficult it is for your brain to give proper attention to both tasks.
Larger fines for motorists who cause an accident because they were talking on a cell phone are also a good idea. If people choose to hinder their driving abilities by talking on the phone, they should be willing to pay the price for taking that risk. There are, of course, other distractions, such as passengers or the radio, that can't really be banned. But why should that stop cities from banning cell phones? It's a distraction that could be eliminated to make our streets that much safer to drive on.
Last week I got a different perspective, a scientific one. As part of my introductory psychology class, I participated in a study measuring the effect of making word associations on reaction time; essentially, the effect of talking on the phone while driving. I was given a few very simple visual tests on a computer, one of which consisted of a small car flashing on the screen. I simply had to identify where it was. At the same time, I was making word associations with the researcher over a speakerphone; for example, he would say, "husband," and I would respond with "wife." The visual tests were simple enough that, had I not been making those word associations, I would have probably gotten every one right. When the experiment was over, the researcher told me my reaction time was about 50 times slower than normal.
I know that I won't completely stop using my phone while driving. However, I will limit my use as much as I can to only important conversations, not what happened on last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

According to CNN.com, a motorist talking on a cell phone is four times more likely to be involved in an accident than a motorist who is not. Law enforcement agencies across the country are struggling to decide the best way to tackle this problem. This summer, the City of Lawrence attempted to ban cell phones while driving, but the proposal was narrowly voted down by the Traffic Safety Commission. California passed a law which states that only hands-free cellular devices, such as headsets, can be used while driving. However, according to associate professor of psychology Paul Ahtley (who is involved in the research study I took part in), "If you pass a ban that just prohibits the hand-held devices, you're sending a message that the hands-free devices
Predictably, cell phone companies and their spokespersons, like T-Mobile's Jamie Hastings, have denounced the bans, saying that other distractions like "McDonald's and kids in the back seat" should also be banned.
It's probably not feasible to outlaw cell phone use while driving: A ban would be hard to enforce and people would not comply with it. However, if law enforcement could find a way, it would be a valid regulation.
COMMENTARY
General questions should be directed to the editor at editor@ansan.com
My slower reaction time had nothing to do with having an emotionally charged conversation or the fact that I was using a phone instead of a headset, as many have said before. My brain simply could not make all those connections quickly enough. Therefore, my Bluetooth was not the security blanket that I assumed it was.

BIG 12 SOCCER
Sizing up the competition
Editor's note. With the Big 12 Conference soccer season beginning, University Daily Kansan Big 12 soccer writer Jeff Deters takes a look at the teams in the Big 12 North, and their outlook for the coming season. Kansas State does not field a team.
Nebraska
2005 record: (14-8-1, 6-3-1)
Key stat: 5 - the number of starters the Huskers lost from last year's team.
2006 outlook: The Huskers could be Big 12 champions this season if they can mold their 10 newcomers into solid contributors. So far they have done just that. The Huskers entered Big 12 play with a record of 5-2-2. The Huskers beat Missouri and lost to Iowa State in their first two conference games.
The Cornhuskers will play the Jayhawks Oct. 1 at 1 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb.
Colorado
2005 record:(12-8-4, 6-4-1)
KU
KU
BOOKSTORES
Key stat: 14 — the number of newcomers on the Buffaloes squad, the most in team history.
2006 outlook: Colorado finished tied for second in the conference last season and made the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year. The Buffaloes have 11 letter winners returning, including five starters.
Last season Colorado defeated Kansas 1-0. The Jayhawks will look for revenge when the two teams play Oct. 27 in Lawrence.

2006 outlook: The Tigers won their first seven games of the season before losing 1-0 at home to UW-Milwaukee Sept. 17. Missouri leads the conference in goals (2,50) and assists (2,50) per game.
2006 outlook: The Kansas Jayhawks finished tied for second in the Big 12 last year, but their season came to an abrupt halt when the Jayhawks were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
2005 record:(11-7-2,6-3-1)
GO KU
2005 record: (11-7-3, 6-3-1)
Key stat: 3 - The Cyclones lost their first three games this year, won their next three and lost three more before winning their two most recent games.
Last season the jayhaws defeated the Tigers 3-2 in two overtries. This year the Kansas-Missouri rivalry continues when the two teams play Oct. 15 in Columbia, Mo.
Using that as motivation, the team entered conference play with a 5-2-0 record. The Jayhawks are picked to finish 5th in the conference. With their victory against nationally ranked Duke Sept. 10, the Jayhawks cracked the Top 25. The Jayhawks followed that victory with a disappointing loss at home to Pepperdine Sept. 15 but bounced back with a victory against Central Florida two days later.
Iowa State
2006 outlook: Iowa State finished tied for second place in the Big 12 last year and made its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
The Cyclones entered conference play with a 4-6-0 record. Last season the Cyclones defeated the Jayhawks 3-1 in Lawrence. The Jayhawks will travel to Ames, Iowa to play the Cyclones Oct. 13.
Key stat 5 - the number of shutouts by the Missouri Tigers in their first eight games this season.

Saints victorious in return
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — The Superdome got a new roof after Hurricane Katrina. The New Orleans Saints did their best to blow it off again.
In an earsplitting return to their rebuilt stadium, the Saints gave the Big Easy something to cheer about — an undefeated football team that made it look easy with a 23-3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
and it couldn't have come at a better time for a city that is still struggling to overcome Katrina.
This one couldn't have been scripted any better for a team that spent all of last season on the road.
After a Super Bowl-like pregame show that included a performance by supergroups U2 and Green Day, the Saints wasted no time turning their welcome-home party into Mardi Gras: The Falcons' first drive stalled, and special teams demon Steve Gleason sliced through the middle of the Atlanta line to smother Michael Koenen's punt.
The ball skidded across the goal line, where Curtis Deloatell fell on it for a touchdown — the first given up by the Falcons this season. Just 1 1/2 minutes into a homecoming
that was over a year in the making, the Saints sent an emphatic message to the entire country.
New Orleans is back.
DeLoach ran over to the stands and pointed at the crowd of 70,003, as if to say, "Take that Katrinal!" Undoubtedly, many more were cheering around this still-recovering city, some of them vowing to set up televisions outside government-issued trailers that pass for homes more than a year after the storm blew ashore.
Last season, New Orleans struggled to a 3-13 record as a team without a home.
Now, they're home.
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Superdome reopened with festivities
NEW ORLEANS — As rock bands blasted and tailgate parties served up barbecue and brew, thousands of people poured into the streets Monday night for a Mardi Gras-like celebration of the Saints' first home game since Hurricane Katrina.
Crowds swamped the area around the Louisiana Superdome in a human sea, creating a huge traffic jam as they sought to forget about the storm for at least a few hours during the team's emotional return and the reopening of the stadium,
which underwent $185 million in repairs to erase the damage done during and after Katrina.
"This is exactly what the city needs," said Saints season ticket holder Clara Donate, 58, who lost her home and all her possessions to Katrina's floodwaters. "We all need something else to think about."
The Saints and the Atlanta Falcons were both undefeated at 2-0 early in the NFL season, and the game received Super Bowl buildup. The Goo Goo Dolls were to play to the crowd outside the dome. Green Day and U2 were scheduled to perform for the crowd of more than 68,000 inside.
Harold Johnson couldn't get into the Superdome, but he planned to sit with his neighbors outside his government-issue trailer and watch the game on television.
"I don't want to talk about Katrina. I don't want to talk about insurance. I don't want to talk about anything but kicking Falcon butt," Johnson said as he stocked up on beer at a grocery store for the cookout.
Even with its new cover, the Superdome remained a symbol of Katrina's misery. Tens of thousands of storm victims suffered there in withering heat after last summer's hurricane filled the city with floodwaters.

Softball vs. Emporia State, 4 p.m., KU Fall invitational, Arrocha Ballpark
The Kansas men's golf program named Kit Grove as the new assistant coach on Monday.
Grove replaces the role vacated by Roy Edwards, who left to take over as the head coach of Colorado in July.
The newly appointed Grove is inexperienced as a coach but no stranger to the Kansas golf program. Grove played golf at Kansas from 1994 to 1997, earning All-Conference academic awards on three
occasions and All-American academic recognition in 1997. More recently, Grove has competed professionally in South Africa and Arizona.
- Asher Fusco
After the departure of Roy Edwards, the Jayhawks went several months and competed in two tournaments without the aid of an assistant coach. Kansas fared well in the tournaments, finishing 5th and 1st, but stands to benefit from the addition of a coach with experience within the ranks of professional golf.

"Dear Chiefs Fans," the note begins.
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chiefs QB thanks fans for support after injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Quarterback Trent Green, still recovering from a severe concussion, thanked fans Monday for thousands of expressions of support that have poured in from around the world.
A Kansas City Chiefs spokesman said Green had been so moved by the many people who reached out to him, he asked for permission to post his thank-you on the team Web site.
About 3,000 e-mails from all 50 states and such far-flung points as Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and the Cayman Islands, have been received.
I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the many fans and individuals from around the country and across the world who sent a card, letter or e-mail to wish me a speedy recovery after I was injured on September 10th.
"Your outpouring of support has been truly overwhelming. On behalf of my entire family, we sincerely appreciated your prayers and the words of encouragement you expressed. It was truly a humbling experience to realize how concerned so many of you were.
"Again. I just wanted to say 'thank you' to all of you who took the time to write in and express your kind sentiments.
"Sincerely, Trent Green."
How long Green will be sidelined remains to be seen. Coach Herm Edwards said Tuesday he will miss a second-straight start on Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers. Geathers was not penalized on the play and Green's teammates, many after viewing replays, agreed that it had not been a cheap shot.
He is still undergoing medical tests.

Tampa Bay QB has spleen removed
TAMPA, Fl. - Tampa Bay quarterback Chris Simms had his spleen removed after taking several hard hits in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers and was resting comfortably in a hospital.
There was no immediate word on how long the fourth-year pro might be sidelined. The recuperation time for a normal person is four to six weeks, though it's unclear how long it might take to heal enough to play football.

Burton finally led the lap that matters Sunday, finding his way back to Victory Lane at Dover International Speedway after a thrilling late battle with Matt Kenseth. The win parked Burton in the lead of NASCAR's Chase for the championship and ended his 175-race winless streak.
Higher test scores guaranteed on your money back!
Burton has a six-point lead over Jeff Gordon, the polesitter, who finished third.

4 Coach takes blow in sideline fracas
coach Charlie Weis found out what it's like to get "hit in the mouth."
Ndukwe was flagged for a late hit out of bounds and, when Michigan State wide receiver Matt Trannon ran over to help his quarterback up, a melee ensued near the Notre Dame bench.
In the second quarter, Spartan quarterback Drew Stanton scrambled out of the pocket and headed for the Notre Dame sideline, where he was hit hard by Irish safety Chinedum Nduke.
Weis, who had been standing near the play, took a blow to the face. Although Trannon was called for a personal! foul, the Irish coach said he wasn't sure who hit him.
"Might have been one of my guys that slapped me for all I know," Weis said of the incident. "You don't see that whole pile in there, all the stuff that's going on."
Weis said his biggest concern when the fight broke out was for his son, Charlie, Jr., who stands on the Notre Dame sideline for every game.
"When the fight takes off, I don't know where he is." Weis said of his son. "Thankfully he's got more common sense than his old man. He was out of the way."
Texas defensive end injures knee
The Observer
AUSTIN, Texas - Defensive end Brian Robison was carted off the field Saturday, horns held aloft. The blow dealt by Cyclones right
tackle Aaron Brant didn't impact only his knee. It reverberated through the Texas defense. The Longhorns' vaunted depth will be tested early as injuries pile up.
"I've never seen this many [injuries] this quickly," head coach Mack Brown said. "It's been amazing."
Freshman Deon Beasley lost his redshirt early in the game after fellow defensive backs Michael Griffin and Matt Melton got hurt on the same play.
"With two defensive backs out and getting some guys banged up, we decided we didn't have the luxury [to redshirt him]," Brown said.
Unlike Robison, Melton and Griffin both came back. Griffin's brother Marcus was also back in the lineup after missing Sept. 16's game in Houston due to an injury sustained against Ohio State.
And it's not only the defense

Texas will need similar efforts across the board in the coming weeks, and so far, the defensive replacements look promising. Beasley handled one-on-one coverage against the Cyclone's Todd Blythe -- standing at 6-foot-5 -- and backups Brian Orakpo and Aaron Lewis who both had solid outings.

Stand-in quarterback performs adequately
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
I didn't expect Adam Barmann to win Saturday's game for Kansas. And I was right. Barmann did not win that game.
The defense did, by only allowing seven points. But more importantly for Barmann, Kansas football and the fans, he didn't lose it either.
Barmann stepped in as Kansas' starting quarterback, then stepped up his game, silencing the initial goons from the crowd at Memorial Stadium.
He completed 25 of 35 pass attempts for 273 yards. Of his 11 third-down pass attempts, Barmann completed eight for first downs, keeping the defense off the field and rested. His clutch ability to convert on third down also helped Kansas one-up South Florida in the field-position battle.
He never did anything amazing, nothing like the kind of plays that will be expected from freshman Kerry Meier in the future. But Barmann had help. He had a defense that shut down the other team, a running back with a nose for the end zone, wide receivers who were suddenly sure-handed and a coaching staff that knew his limits. Offensive coordinator Nick Quartaro did not ask Barmann to make big plays. Quartaro called a conservative game, which is exactly what he should have done against Toledo. Maybe he read the Kansan last Tuesday.
Still though, Barmann was a far cry from what he was expected to be after his Kansas debut three years ago against Texas A&M. Based on Barmann's four touchdowns in that game, fans thought they had found a four-year starter. After he subsequently struggled as a starting quarterback, that idea was put to an end. But now he has a new role: The serviceable backup. He looked calm, collected and focused, just like a senior should.
However, Barmann still could have lost the game. His best attribute was that he knew his own restrictions as a quarterback. He rarely forced his passes. Instead, he usually opted to throw the ball away to keep possession. That's smart, especially with a defense that refused to let South Florida score.
On Saturday, Barmann looked like he had made a complete turn-around from a year ago, when Jayhawk fans saw him make big mistakes against Florida Atlantic and Kansas State. After those two lame performances, I never wanted to see Barmann on the field again. Now I'm not so worried if Barmann is under center for Kansas.
Ryan McGeeney/KANSAH
No one should take his performance too seriously, however, especially coach Mark Mangino. All Barmann did was step in and perform like a backup should. He won't take Kansas to great places. He already had his chance to do that. Once Kerry Meier is healthy again, Meier should be Kansas' starter

High-traffic locations along highways prove successful spaces for Kansas football and women's basketball advertisements
BY C.J. MOORE
The KU Athletics Department has a $500,000 advertising budget this year, with $10,000 going toward billboards advertising football and women's basketball.
The hope is to put more fans in the seats of Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse on game days. Since the department started strategically buying billboards around the state in 2004 to promote the football team and women's basketball team, ticket sales have risen each year in both sports.
The billboards this year ask, "Where will you be on gameday?" And Kansas fans have answered by showing up in record numbers this season with the football team setting a season-ticket sales record.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said, "There's no question that the major goal is selling tickets."
The strategy works, said Bob Basow, a professor of journalism
who specializes in strategic communications. Basow said it would make no sense for the football team not to use billboard advertising because Kansas did not regularly sell out Memorial Stadium like the basketball team did Allen Fieldhouse.
"It'd be real hard to go without," Basow said. "And you're going for share of mind, not just share of market. You want people thinking about KU football whether or not they're going to be season-ticket holders."
"We look at traffic patterns and we try — within our budget — to get the most favorable locations that we can get," Marchiony said.
Billboard advertising promotes a product and its goal is to be viewed by as many people as possible. Basow said.
KU athletics purchased seven different billboards this season that are in heavy-traffic areas.
The athletics department rented the billboard space from companies that own them. For the five
billboards in the Kansas City area, the department used a Kansas City, Mo., marketing agency: Muller and Co.
In 2005, Kansas used the billboards to promote football in the fall and replaced the football billboards with women's basketball billboards in November.
For the department to pay for the $10,000 spent on billboards, it must sell only 45 season football tickets to the general public, making it well worth it for Kansas.
"The amazing thing about running a sports team is you've got to promote those guys whether they win or lose," Basow said. "You still need the money and the fan support. So you've got to have great-looking billboards talking about supporting those jayhaws."

FOOTBALL
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Barmann a valuable asset on field and off
Mark Mangino never made a dramatic announcement that Barmann would start at quarterback against South Florida. He didn't have to.
After Adam Barmann practiced with the first-team offense for fourstraight days last week, he probably picked up on the hint.
Barmann made the most of his time in the spotlight, although he realized that it might be limited, especially if Kerry Meier is healthy enough to return this weekend against Nebraska.
Replacing the injured Kerry Meier, Barmann had perhaps the best game of his career, going 25-of-35 passing for a career-best 273 yards.
"When Kerry's healthy, he's our guy." Barmann said. "I just came in and tried to do the best job that I could while he was absent."
It's that attitude that continues to draw Kansas' coach to his backup quarterback. Barmann started two games his freshman year after starter Bill Whittemore was injured. He went 25-of-37 passing for 294 yards and threw four touchdowns in his first career start against Texas A&M.
After that, though, it was down-hill for Barmann. He was 3-5 in his sophomore season, before it was ended by a shoulder injury near the end of the season. Barmann also started two games last season, but was eventually taken off of the
'Hawks on TV
Kansas' game against Texas A&M will kick off at 11 a.m. Oct. 7 and will be televised on Fox Sports Net. The Homecoming game will be Kansas fourth-straight game on TV. The Jayhawks will play the Nejaska Cornhuskers on FSN Saturday and defeated South Florida last weekend on that channel as well. Kansas took on Toledo on FSPN two weeks ago.
It certainly would have been easy for Barmann to whine and mope about a lack of playing time. Instead, he did just the opposite. Mangino said Barmann helped both Luke and Swanson last season while both were shuffled in and out of the starting lineup.
quarterback carousel in favor of Brian Luke and Jason Swanson.
"There's something about that kid I like." Mangino said. "There's just something about him that just doesn't give up. He's got this great outlook on life."
Barmann's positive outlook helped him again in the offseason, when he was passed over for the starting job this season.
Mangino said throughout fall practice Barmann had made significant improvements. He said Barmann had a better grasp of the routes and was more patient in the offense. He also spent time preparing himself, just in case he was needed to play. After Barmann struggled during most of his playing time last season, Mangino said that he probably wasn't ready to be the full-time starter in 2005. Barmann struggled with his accuracy last season, misfiring on numerous passes in the four games he played. His struggles left fans frustrated early in the season.
"He lost some confidence," Mangino said. "Now, he's had a lot of time to work and prepare. He's more mature."
His growth and preparation were evident on Saturday. Barmann's passes were crisp, he made smart decisions with the football and except for a second-quarter fumble. Mangino said his play was nearly perfect.
Barmann's time as starter could end quickly, especially if Meier is healthy. If so, Barmann said he was willing to return to the bench.
"I'm just a piece of the puzzle," he said. "I just tried to do what was asked of me."

Standard testing may come to colleges
BY DANNY LUPPINO
Part of the U.S. Secretary of Education's new plan for higher education may not sit well with KU administrators.
Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings outlined her vision in a speech to the National Press Club on Tuesday. Among her key ideas was using data on student performance as a way of holding colleges and universities accountable for what their students are learning. Some fear this goal could lead to the creation of a national standardized exam for all students graduating from a four-year institution.
"I think there's some belief that that is what she's talking about, though she hasn't come out and said it," said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, vice provost for academic affairs.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she thought Spellings might advocate an exam because it would be an extension of the ideas in the No Child Left Behind Act, which Spellings supports.
Both McCluskey-Fawett and Chancellor Robert Hemenway said they would not support a national exam if it judged all institutions by the same criteria.
"I think it would go against the strengths of American universities," Hemenway said. "I think one of the great strengths of the higher education in the United States and in Kansas is the diversity of it."
Jim Lichtenberg, associate dean of the School of Education, agreed that measuring all schools the same way would not be an effective way of judging student success.
"I think colleges and universities have different missions and students have different choices in their majors and the classes they take". Lichtenberg said.
Lichtenberg said important parts of a student's personal development, like maturity and critical thinking, would go undocumented in a national exam.
If an exam is not proposed and the only requirement of Spellings's plan is that schools report their own measures of student success, Hemenway said the University would welcome the opportunity.

Fundraiser allows Café to continue serving community
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
It's pushing 7 on a balmy Tuesday morning and Jimmy Aldridge is huddled over a heaping plate of steaming hot eggs, biscuits and gravy and a cup of coffee.
Aldridge, a Lawrence resident, is enjoying the only nutritious plate of food he might get all week. Aldridge waits all week to spend his Tuesday morning eating breakfast at Jubilee Café, a free breakfast program for the homeless. Aldridge who just found a home a few months ago, said he once felt alienated because he was homeless. Jubilee Café gave him the food and friendship he needed to keep going.
"I know I can come in and see a lot of my friends and eat a nutritious breakfast and that means a lot," Aldridge said.
Starting today, Jubilee Café will begin its fall Breakfast for Dinner program. From now until the end of the semester, Jubilee Café will offer plates of breakfast food for $5 to hungry students and community members every Wednesday night from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Paige Blair, Jubilee Café co-coordinator and Chicago junior, said the program was the main fundraiser to keep the program running. Jubilee Café once relied on concession stands sales from University of Kansas athletic events to raise money, but would concentrate solely on the Breakfast for Dinner events this year.

Yi has been working as a resident communication consultant, or RCC, for a year and a half. It wasn't an easy job to get.
"I had a couple of friends that worked for ResNet" Yi said. "The first time I applied there was a lot of competition and I didn't get the job until I applied again."

Teddy bear accidentally kills thousands of trout
MILFORD, N.H. — A teddy bear has been implicated in 2,500 deaths — trout deaths, that is.
State officials say a teddy bear that fell into a pool at a Fish and Game Department hatchery earlier this month clogged a drain. The clog blocked the flow of oxygen to the pool and suffocated the fish.
Hatcheries supervisor Robert Fawcett said the bear, dressed in yellow raincoat and hat, is believed to be the first stuffed toy to cause fatalities at the facility.
"We've had pipes get clogged, but it's usually with more naturally occurring things like a frog or even a dead muskrat," he said. "This one turned out to be a teddy bear and we don't know how it got there."
The deaths prompted Fawcett to release a written warning: "RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS into the fish hatchery water IS NOT PERMITTED."
He said it's not known who dropped the bear, but urged anyone whose bear ends up in a hatchery pool to find a worker to remove it. "They might save your teddy bear, and keep it from becoming a killer," he said.

COMMISSION
Opinion vote not approved
City commission denies request for Iraq opinion vote on Nov. ballot
BY MARK VIERTHALER
The city commission meeting room was filled to half capacity Tuesday as members of the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice waited to discuss a proposed referendum.
Amid criticism from both supporters and denouncers, the Lawrence City Commission unanimously decided to deny a referendum to place an opinion vote on November's election ballot.
The coalition initially brought its proposal before the city commission last Tuesday.
During that meeting, Allan Hanson, a member of the coalition, stood before the five members of the commission and the mayor and delivered an impassioned speech about the need to vote on a community opinion about whether the United States should withdraw its forces from Iraq.
Hanson, reading from a prepared statement, declared the war in Iraq the most important issue facing America today. Hanson said the coalition was not asking the commission to take a personal stand on the issue. He requested the commission only place the poll question on the ballot for Nov. 7.
The coalition cited warrantless wire taps and citizens held without charges as reasons why "the voice of
the people needs to be heard."
As each commission member gave his opinion at last night's meeting, some coalition members listened with mouths agape. Others simply stared down at their feet until the five members had their say.
Hard debate came from those in attendance.
Anne Haehl, who is a member of the coalition and whose father and son are both veterans, spoke about her concern for the military occupation of Iraq.
"I'm proud of our soldiers, sailors and marines and our veterans," she said. "One of our proudest traditions is our military is subordinate to the citizens."
Haehl said she thought it was the community's responsibility to judge and question what the military is doing. This vote, she said, would have been an excellent way to let politicians know their constituents' opinions.
Jerome Hanson, Lawrence resident, said he was opposed to the proposition because it could set a precedent for any person who was upset about something to get a ballot made.
"This issue has a lot of heartstrings that are going to pulled in different directions," Hanson said. "Were mistakes made? It looks like there may well have been mistakes made. But we will have no effect on a federal level."
City commissioner Mike Rundle said he was opposed to voicing the public's opinion through an official ballot and recommended adopting an official mechanism to treat advisory elections.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, city commissioner, was equally skeptical of the vote. He said it wasn't about the commission's opinion on Iraq, but about the proper way to bring the city's opinion to the federal government. Both commissioners Sue Hack and David Schauner voiced similar opinions.
"I hope people don't take this to mean we feel that the loss of life is not a difficult thing for all of us to bear," Hack said. "I just don't think this is the appropriate way to go about it."
Mayor Mike Amyx said he would take the coalition's concerns to Washington, D.C., when the commission visits next month.
Hanson said the coalition has plans to continue its quest for an official public opinion. He said they were not ready to publicly discuss what they were going to do until they had time to digest the decision of Tuesday's meeting.

Kentucky funeral protest law suspended
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A federal judge has temporarily suspended Kentucky's law forbidding protests within 300 feet of military funerals and memorial services.
U. S. District Judge Karen Caldwell said Tuesday that the law goes too far in limiting free speech. The law aimed at Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, which is known for its anti-gay protests, is too broad, the judge said in issuing an injunction.
The zone is large enough that it would restrict communications intended for the general public on a matter completely unrelated to the funeral as well as messages targeted at funeral participants," Caldwell wrote in a 37-page ruling issued in Frankfort.
Earlier this year, the Kentucky General Assembly passed the law prohibiting nearly all protests at military
funerals.
Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo said he was considering an appeal.
"I believe that society has an interest in honoring its war dead. Funerals are times of sacred and solemn reflection which must be protected from aggressive disruption," Stumbo said in a statement.
State Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, one of the sponsors of the law, said the 300-foot barrier is the same buffer zone used to keep people from campaigning at voting precincts during elections.
"It would seem we want to give at least as much reverence to a funeral as we do an election." Buford said. "It seems like a sad day for our military."
Caldwell said the buffer zone would stop more than just protesters from speaking — it could restrict free speech rights in homes and on sidewalks and streets.

Army medic turns himself in to face charges
ROBERT JABLON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
LOS ANGELES — An Army medic who fled rather than serve a second tour in Iraq because he believes war is immoral turned himself in Tuesday to face a possible court-martial.
Army Spec. Agustin Aguayo, 34, turned himself in around 6 p.m. at Fort Irwin, an Army base in the Mojave Desert northeast of Los Angeles, said Army
spokesman Ken Drylie.
"It is the right thing to do," said Aguayo at a news conference in Los Angeles hours before going to the base. "I'm not a deserter or a coward."
Aguayo said he expected to face a court martial and some jail time.
"It's something I can live with," he said. "Something I can't live with is being a participant of war anymore."
Aguayo has unsuccessfully fought the Pentagon for more than two years to be declared a conscientious objector and win a discharge.

"My feeling is that we should never be afraid of accountability." Hemenway said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the University already does "enormous amounts" of data collection for its own outcome assessments. Those results are reported to the Kansas Board of Regents.
The difference between the internal assessments and a standardized exam, she said, is that each university in the state shapes its own performance goals. Among
the data the University collects is research productivity and student participation in programs like the Research Experience Program and the Global Awareness Program.
"That's been a sensible way to enforce it," McCluskey-Fawcett said.

JUBILEE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
won't let this designation stand, so they're working to serve more food with a side of dignity to the city's homeless.
Blair said she hoped the fundraiser would inspire more people to get involved in changing Lawrence's status as the second meanest city.
"Jubilee Cafe breaks down some of the stigma between the homeless and the rest of the community," Blair said. "We serve them and they are treated with dignity. Student volunteers benefit from the compassion that comes with having a face and a name with someone who you are eating breakfast with instead of just passing them on the street."
Blair said the fundraiser would allow more students to contribute who wouldn't normally be able to make it to Jubilee Café's early morning breakfasts. Jubilee Café operates Tuesday and Friday mornings from 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
Will Bohne, financial director for Jubilee Cafe and Leavenworth senior, said the fundraiser would help Jubilee Cafe buy more food and a new dishwasher. Bohne said the program operated exactly like a real restaurant, right down to the menus and servers who greet the crowd gathered outside of the church in the mornings.
A cook calls out orders from the
kitchen while student volunteers hustle around the dining room to serve the hungry visitors. Once all the food is on the tables, the student volunteers sit down to listen to the stories of the homeless.
Not only do the visitors benefit from the company and the free meal, but the student volunteers said they receive just as much back from those they serve. Erica Fishel, St. Louis senior, said the program has given her a greater perspective on issues within the community.
"I've come face-to-face with people who are fighting the slippery slope of poverty and I've gained an appreciation for the opportunities I've been given," Fishel said.
Aldridge said the people and the food are what keep him coming back to Jubilee Café every week.
"You can't get food this good in Lawrence even if you pay for it," Aldridge said. "The food and the people are just that good."

STUDENT SENATE
Campus coupons may be available on cell phones via text messaging
to see if the two are symbiotic," Jenny Weaver, sales and marketing adviser for the Kansan, said.
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Student Senate and The University Daily Kansan are discussing the idea of teaming up to develop a program that would provide coupons to students via text messages on their mobile phones.
Student Senate originally planned to present a resolution at tonight's Senate meeting to form a contract with the company Mobile Campus. After learning the Kansan had partnered with the company Textcaster in April 2006 for a similar program, it was decided to table the resolution and look for a way to make the two programs work together.
"It's at least worth checking out
She said Student Senate and the Kansan would be sending different sets of messages to students and combining the services would only work if they could find a way to meet the needs of both groups.
Weaver said the Kansan's original service would have been available as
early as November but that it would now be delayed until negotiations with Senate were completed.
Mel Horen, Overland Park senior and vice president of Student Senate, said the program Student Senate had originally envisioned would allow student groups to use the system as a listserv to send out messages to group members free of charge.
Students would not pay to subscribe to the service, but normal text messaging rates would apply.
"This gives the advertiser an opportunity to connect with students every day in a cool way," Weaver said.
Sarah Hams, Overland Park senior, said she sends about 80 text messages per month with her mobile phone and that text messaging was a good source of communication for students.
Hams said she didn't always have access to other such forms of advertising as newspapers and that text
messaging would be more convenient.
Hams said she would only be willing to use the service if it was free of charge so that she could maintain a low phone bill.
Mobile Campus is already in place at other schools, including the University of Florida and The University of Texas at Austin. Textcaster is in use at Arizona State University and Central Missouri State University.

Liquids, gels allowed; plastic bag required
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Happy that new security rules have cleared their liquids and gels for takeoff, air travelers presented small, clear plastic bags filled with toiletries for inspection Tuesday, but long lines grew at some airports as others confused about the changes filled trash cans with containers that were too large.
"It's an inconvenience," said Ginni Dewbray, whose husband finally found a bag to carry a small bottle of lotion after asking several fellow travelers in a security line at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Most toiletries can be in containers no larger than 3 ounces, and they must be zipped up in plastic bags that are quart-sized or smaller. Those limits threw off passengers who scrambled at security checkpoints to toss out bottles of shaving cream and hand lotion or to find the proper plastic bags.
"If they're going to stand there and ask you to have plastic bags, they should give them out. They're not that expensive," she said.
Some items are permitted in
Trash bins outside airport security checkpoints filled up with forbidden items, though not as much as they did last month when a broader ban was put in place. Many travelers were grateful for the relaxed rules, which allow them to carry drinks, makeup and other items on board their flights.
any amount: saline solution, eye drops and prescription and nonprescription medicine, according to Transportation Security Administration spokesman Christopher White.
Drinks, liquids and gels purchased in airport stores inside security checkpoints can be carried into passenger cabins. Baby formula is allowed but must be inspected.
The rules replace an outright ban on liquids, lotions and gels ordered Aug. 10 after an alleged plot to bomb U.S.-bound jetliners was foiled.
TSA chief Kip Hawley said the stricter ban is no longer needed, and that he was pleased Tuesday's transition to the new rules went as
smoothly as it did.
Airport retailers were thrilled at the news, and some had already begun stocking up on plastic, ziptop bags. The Paradies Shops, an Atlanta-based company with more than 500 stores in 60 airports across the U.S. and Canada, will hand out clear plastic bags to customers for free.
By 8 a.m., a trash bin at a checkpoint in Atlanta was 3 feet deep with water bottles and 16-ounce containers of toiletries, including shaving gel and hand lotion. But TSA officials there were going easy on travelers the first day of the new rules, allowing them to carry proper-sized toiletries in gallon-sized plastic bags.

OPINION
PAGE 5A
OUR VIEW
What if college students had to take an exam mandated by the federal government?
If lawmakers adopt the Department of Education's recommendations, this scenario could become a part of college curricula.
Federal exam idea misguided
The department wants increased accountability for colleges as they attempt to educate students, according to a recent report from the Commission on the Future of Higher Education. But the No Child Left Behindlike recommendation would inconvenience students, who should be working harder anyway.
The report recommends that the federal government provide incentives for states to use the exams. The report gives several examples of tests colleges could use, including the Collegiate Learning Assessment, a test already administered to students at 134 colleges and universities.
The test compares knowledge accumulated between freshman and senior years and "evaluates students' critical thinking, analytic reasoning and written communication ... rather than multiple choice questions."
Students already take enough tests. If students fail to make progress in their college years, that's not entirely a university's fault; students should shoulder the blame.
Average prose literacy has decreased for all levels of educational accomplishment. between 1992 and 2003 and only 66 percent of full-time four-year students complete a degree in six years, according to the report.
College students have to make a better effort. Or the federal government, with its inept bureaucracy, will grade us.
Steve Lynn for the editorial board
The Kansas Highway Patrol now has several unmarked police cars driving normal routes on the road. I don't think this should become common practice of our law enforcement.
PENGUIN
While I know this may sound like a gripe, it's not. I have respect for our law enforcement and believe that they should be allowed to use whatever means at their disposal to enforce the law. I do think they are beginning to oversteep their boundaries.
State highway patrol officers have no need to hide in unmarked cars
COMMENTARY
The major purpose for having unmarked police cars on the road is to catch people speeding and other minor infractions. While I recognize this as part of their job, I think the duty of our law enforcement officials is much greater than that. They protect us. They help us in emergencies. The police are not glorified meter-maids.
I'm worried that you think I've been burned by an unmarked police car. I will admit I was stopped once by one. I was let off with a warning and the officer thought it was funny that I followed him for about 20 miles without realizing who he was. When I finally went to pass him I went a little over the limit.
I'm not a speed demon. I don't drive recklessly and I don't break

the law any more than your average Joe Six-Pack. I just want to be able to feel safe knowing that the guy in an unmarked car without a uniform that just pulled my girlfriend over isn't some serial rapist. And when my girlfriend learns about him being a serial rapist I don't want her to play a life-or-death game of "Where's Waldo" trying to find a cop.
I'm not saying I don't believe there isn't a time and place for undercover cops. I just think there is a better use for our law enforcement. I would rather undercover cops do more important things than trying to fool people on the road. They need to be doing important cop things. Like commandeering civilian vehicles and hanging off that little part underneath the helicopter that they use to land.

Albright an inspiration for women
I simply cannot imagine being born into an earlier era of U.S. history in which the political rights and ambitions of women were seriously constrained. Yet, until women's equal participation in all parts of society is achieved, victory cannot be claimed. In almost any given career, the higher up in an organization's hierarchy, the fewer women one will encounter.
If you happen to lack a Y chromosome, do not lose hope. We simply need to follow the path of those remarkable women who began the arduous task of shattering glass ceilings. Ladies, to become this generation's next world leaders, we must seek role models in these female pioneers who had enough determination to reconstruct social attitudes of what constitutes a male or female job.
As a woman with career aspirations in the male-operated world of foreign relations, there is one particular woman of whom I am in awe: Former Secretary of State Madeleine Korbel Albright. She was the first female Secretary of State and thus the most powerful woman in the U.S. government (and arguably in the world) during the Clinton administration.
Her story is one of perseverance and accomplishment, and it raises aspirations of what a woman can now achieve. She was born in 1937 in Prague, where her family first fled from the Nazis, and later from communism. She came to the U.S. in 1948 and by the time she was about our age, she was multi-lingual, an undergraduate in political
science at Wellesley, and a citizen of the United States. She went on to attain an assortment of degrees and distinguished positions while also balancing motherhood.
Beginning in 1993, she served for four years as U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations and was then sworn in as the 64th secretary of state on January 23, 1997. During her tenure, she helped change the course of history and made the advancement of women one of her central foreign policy goals.
The visibility of Albright as a strong, effective secretary of state has also helped to accustom the populace to become more comfortable with females in other power positions. Surely, the concept of a woman president is no longer equated with some naive feminist illusion as it might have been just a decade ago. Furthermore, her ultimate American Dream success story, from refugee to highest ranking women in the United States, is also an inspiration for the immigrants who sacrifice everything to seek opportunities in the United States.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Madeleine Albright did just that. Will you?
Former Secretary Madeleine Albright will be speaking tonight at the Lied Center at 8 p.m. For more information: www.doleinstitute.org.

God Save the Free for All
The Free for All has hit rock bottom, and we need look no further than The Kansan's own staff to see why.
Last Wednesday's Kansan featured an apology from editor Jonathan Kealing stating that he had considered removing the section entirely because of recent events, but for the time being it would remain a place where we as students could "tell jokes. Tell stories. State opinions. Laugh with friends. Vent your frustration." Kealing chastised us for having done otherwise, and told us how the Free for All will be put before at least four persons before going to print, in order to be more closely edited.
Oddly enough, more editing is the last thing the Free for All needs.
Started in the early '90s, The Kansan's Free for All was one of the first of its kind. While not the first newspaper to feature an opinion line, it was a fresh idea. Instead of folks having to sit down and write a full opinion piece with their names, they could simply call in and say what they believed needed to be said.
Then people began to take short-and-sweet and turn it into "punch-lines only." The problem was that The Kansan encouraged this, by beginning to only print the jokes. Soon the Free for All began to resemble a junior high chat room of quick potty-mouthed labs.
Imagine for just a moment that the Free for All was more than
Chuck Norris jokes. Have you ever wondered why it's called an "opinion line" or why someone would need 20 seconds to say, "I got wasted last night?" The Kansan's institutional memory is as short as one student's trip through this University — four, maybe five short years.
In the four years I've been here,
I have yet to see someone's 20
seconds worth of commentary be
placed in the Free for All. I would
have summarized this in a phone
call, myself, if I believed the fellow
listening to the phone wouldn't have
axed it. So my challenge is two-fold:
Kansan: You don't need four more eyes to butcher the comments, but instead an adult to listen to the phones and write down all the worthy ones. Hell, I'll do it for you, as long as you promise to give the Free for All space to print the opinions.
My fellow students: Call the Free for All, and say whatever it is you're thinking, taking as much of those 20 seconds as needed. Whether it's appropriate or not, hopefully The Kansan's opinion editors (be they one or four in number) will put out the best. So we'll get the smartest comments on campus, be they funny or serious, important or light. It's time to remember the point of this device — to find out what Jayhawks are thinking about their campus and the world.

Kansan found lacking
I understand The University Daily Kansan is a teaching publication, but I am saddened at the lack of quality that has plagued the paper so far this semester. Front page headlines have obvious mistakes and articles are poorly written and confusing.
Will Palmer is our hero.
Are not students still required to take two semesters each of reporting and editing before they are allowed to work on The Kansan? Are there not copy chiefs and general editors who read everything before it is published? Has the quality of the journalism school declined so much that I am ashamed to be a graduate of the program?

Volunteers help children in African orphanage
BY MATT ERICKSON
Although two graduates accepted jobs and relocated to another continent, they won't actually be making any money. Their new job will actually cost them up to $6,000 each in airfare and living expenses. In return, they will experience the excitement of a new culture and the satisfaction of helping the needy.
. Rebekah Heacock and Heather Baker, 2006 graduates, moved to Kampala, Uganda, to volunteer at the Hope Integrity Orphanage.
Heacock and Baker, along with Baker's boyfriend, Collin Hamel of Lawrence, left Sept. 4 for Uganda. Heacock will live in Uganda for a year, while Baker and Hamel will live there for nine months.
"I'm going because I knew that I
wanted to give my life somehow to people who are impoverished, and I wanted to do it in a very tangible, physical way," Baker said. "I felt like there was a great need, and I was available."
The women, along with 90 children, live at the orphanage in the southeastern capital city of Kampala.
"I wanted to go over and have some actual experience with kids who've been through (the war), and come back and say, "This is what they told me,"" Heacock said.
Baker and Heacock will serve as mentors and teach the children English.
Heacock wants to start a rehabilitative drama program to help children deal with hardships from their pasts by acting them out.
"I want to share everything I have, like my ability to speak English and my college degree, with the children."
she said.
Baker, who earned her degree in music education, will also teach music and Bible classes.
- About one-third to one-half of the children at Hope Integrity come from the war-torn northern region of Uganda, Heacock said. Some were child soldiers in the civil war in northern Uganda.
War has raged in northern Uganda for more than 20 years. During this time, a rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army has abducted about 25,000 children to fill its ranks, according to Oxfam International.
Though the LRA agreed to leave the country as part of a cease-fire agreement reached last month, many in Uganda still are scarred by the effects of the conflict.
"These are stories that just get over
looked every day," Heacock said.
Heacock and Baker found out about the conflict after their friend Erin Larive, 2005 graduate, returned from a trip to Africa during the summer of 2005.
During the Fall 2005 semester, Heacock founded the student organization KU for Uganda, which aims to increase awareness about the conflict in northern Uganda and works to achieve peace.
"The atrocities were so great, and the effect on the region was so huge, and ... no one was doing anything about it," she said.
Baker and Hecacock also learned about Hope Integrity from Larive, who put them in contact with the orphanage's director. By last winter, they had both decided to go volunteer in Uganda.
"I just felt ready to embrace another
culture and ready to be taught. I'd really like to experience what it's like outside the U.S." Baker said.
Baker and Heacock raised money for the trip by collecting donations.
Hacecock will also intern for the Global Youth Partnership for Africa, a nonprofit organization that creates connections between young Americans and young Africans.
Baker plans to visit other orphanages around Uganda.
"I just see extreme faith in some of the poorest communities. I anticipate seeing that in Uganda as well," she said.

Tragedies reveal lack of thorough coverage
BY MARK DENT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
MDENT@KANSAN.COM
Sam Ashaolu is okav
Don't know who Ashaoulu is?
Don't worry; you're just like the part of this country that has overlooked the near death of the Duquesne basketball player.
You see, Ashaolu was the most critically wounded of five basketball players who were shot Sept. 17 following a dance at the Pittsburgh school. He was finally upgraded from critical to serious condition over the weekend.
Ring a bell yet? No? Here's the story.
Ashaoulu, Stuard Baldonado, Kojo Mensha, Shawn James and Aaron Jackson left a Black Student Union dance early Sunday morning to find a man yelling at them for talking to his girlfriend. The players turned away to go to their dorms. The man fired shots, which struck the five men. Luckily, Mensah, James and Jackson escaped with minor injuries. Baldonado and Ashaoul ended up in the hospital, but both have recovered.
Instead of reeling over this tragedy, sports pages the last week were focused more on the comparatively insignificant story of the officiating debacle between Oklahoma and Oregon.
Apparently it's more tragic for a group of young men to lose a football game because of two questionable calls than for a group of young men to nearly lose their lives because of 12 unwarranted gunshots.
SEE DENT ON PAGE 3B
University of Oklahoma President David Boren's complaints about the loss are downright disgraceful when one thinks about what happened at Duquesne. Think it's unfair that your athletes lost one game? Well, Ashaolu would love to lose one more game. With three bullets still lodged in his head, he may never play again.
The University of Kansas community might think something like this would never happen here, but it already has.
Six years ago, former Kansas basketball player Paul Pierce was stabbed nine times at a Boston night club. He survived only because he happened to be wearing a leather coat that prevented the knife from penetrating too deep.
The media tend to dwell on athletes' negative actions, like Giddens' choice to get in a fight instead of how he could have been seriously harmed. That's why Maurice Clarett has been in the news ad nausea in recent weeks. Clarett, a former Ohio State running back, has had
Although the incident didn't happen in Lawrence, athletes have fallen victim to violence here as well.
Remember former basketball player J.R. Giddens? Giddens was allegedly provoked and stabbed by Jeremiah Creswell. His stabbing should have been considered a serious matter. Instead, Giddens' downfall became a joke. What if Jeremiah Creswell aimed his knife at Giddens' chest instead of his leg? I don't think there would be any 'Who stabbed J.R.' comments if that happened.
Looking at Giddens' example, it's really not that surprising the sports world has overlooked the Duquesne story.

Volleyball player's knee recovers
After nearly one year of healing, athlete adapts to playing with knee brace, sans jump serve
BY DREW DAVISON
Jana Correa remembers the day her left knee gave out, almost ending her volleyball career.
It was last season, and Correa, senior outside hitter, was in rotation one, on the right-front side of the court. She went inside to hit a ball, and she landed on her left leg, which then gave out.
"I tore my ACL in my meniscus. My meniscus flipped over, so the doctors had to go in and put the meniscus back in place," she said.
"It was on Oct. 5, when K-State was here."
It wasn't the first time, either. She tore her right ACL, during her freshman year against Oklahoma.
"It hurt really bad, really bad," she said. "I thought 'Oh my God, again.'"
After eight months of rehab, today Correa is up and kicking, leading the Jayhawk volleyball team in kills and service aces. She ranks ninth in the Big 12 with 3.96 kills per game, and is sixth in service aces.
Correa said she didn't care that much about being first statistically, as long as she was able to help lead the team to victory.
Coming off the injury, Correa now has to wear a knee brace for the entire year.
"I think at the beginning the brace makes you slower, but you get used to it," she said.
Correa said one of the negative effects from the surgery is not being able to do her usual "lump serve."
A jump serve is when the player tosses the ball up and jumps to hit the ball over the net with some top-spin.
"I used to love the jump serve,
"She's not able to do the jump serve because she misses it too much," Bechard said. "So coach said, 'You can't do that anymore.'"
Instead of the jump serve, Correa has been working on the float serve. This serve is where she stands flat-footed. The float serve has been effective against opponents, as she can direct the ball directly to the opposing teams' weakest passer.
While Correa said she does not use the jump serve because she is coming off the injury, coach Ray Bechard has a different reason.

but I haven't done it for the past three or four games," she said. "Just because I feel I have to save my knee a little bit."
Aside from the jump-serve debate, Bechard said he is pleased with how Correa has come back.
"After the K-State match, her mind wondered if shed ever be back," he said. "She's probably not the player she was prior to the injury in terms of explosiveness, but she's gained some practical experience."
Off the court, Correa, a Sau Paulo, Brazil, native, is a journalism major on the strategic communications side. She is on track to graduate in December 2007. She was in applied English for a full year, which set her back.
Coming from another country, Correa said the University provided her all the assistance she needed to adjust to the different lifestyle. Having fellow Brazilians Josi Lina and Paula Caten on the team for three years, she had a group of friends she could hang out with.
"When I got here, I did not like Lawrence," she said. "Now, I like it. I think it's a cool place."

Another year, another chance to beat Nebraska Jayhawks haven't beat Huskers at home since 1968; the problem could be psychological
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Mark Mangino was only 12 years old the last time Kansas won a game in Lincoln, Neb.
Now, 38 years later, his team is still searching for a way to end its ugly losing streak at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium.
Despite ending the Cornhuskers' 36-game overall winning streak in

the series in Lawrence last season. Kansas hasn't won in Lincoln since 1968. The problem may be more psychological than anything else.
Nebraska offensive linemen Chris Patrick (54) and Cornealius Fuamatu-Thomas (79) watch from the bench as Kansas defeats Nebraska last year in Lawrence. At the time, Patrick was a sophomore and Fuamatu-Thomas was a senior. On Saturday the Jayhawks will attempt to win in Lincoln for the first time since 1968.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said a common problem with playing in Nebraska is that players talk themselves into a loss before the game even starts.

"They say, 'Well, we're going to
go to Lincoln, they're going to have a big fan base, they're going to all be dressed in red, they're all going to be making noise," he said. "I think some people get psyched out before they get there."
It's easy to see how that could happen, though.
In Kansas' 18-gamelosing streak at Nebraska's Memorial Stadium, the Cornhuskers have outscored the Jayhawks by an average of 42-8. The Cornhuskers have failed to score at least 40 points only four times.
As usual, Saturday's game is sold out. Nebraska has sold out 268 consecutive games at Memorial Stadium, dating back to the 1962 season. The stadium was expanded in the offseason, bringing capacity to nearly 82,000. On game day, Memorial Stadium

offense may work with various ways to audible play calls at the line of scrimmage.
Mangino said there's no reason for his team to fear Nebraska's notorious red-clad fans.
Senior quarterback Adam Barmann knows about the noise level from experience. He started in Kansas' 14-8 loss in Lincoln two years ago and said the noise made it difficult to change plays at the line.
He said the team would not change its preparations this week in practice just because of the reputation of the environment.
"All they can do is scream, holler and cheer. They're not allowed to do anything else," he said.
The only potential changes this week would be on offense. Because of the crowd noise, the

KIRKLAND, Wash.
— League MVP Shaun Alexander has a broken left foot and won't play for the Seattle Seahawks
for at least few weeks.
Coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that a bone scan revealed Alexander sustained a "small crack" and "displaced fracture" on a non-weight-bearing bone in his foot sometime during the Seahawks' 42-30 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Leinart for next Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"I don't talk personnel on Monday," Green said. "We'll start looking at things and have a staff meeting and take it from there."
Green's noncommittal comments came in the wake of Warner's awful performance in Sunday's 16-14 home loss to the St. Louis Rams. The 35-year-old quarterback was intercepted three times — once with the team at the Rams 1-yard line and another at the St. Louis 14.
To cap it off, Warner fumbled a snap at the Rams' 18 with 1:46 to play as Arizona was positioning itself for what would have been a game-winning field goal.

Seahawks show how running back points dependant on strong offensive line

KANSAN COLUMNIST

Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander cracked a bone in his foot. This cracked bone will cost Alexander, and fantasy owners, about three starts and plenty of stress as managers scramble to find a decent replacement.
What's being overlooked in Alexander's situation is that he was averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per carry this year before the injury, compared to last year's average of 5.1. The explanation of the lost production stems back to an important, yet often overlooked, component of successful running backs: the offensive line.
is running behind them.
The Seahawks lost their star offensive guard, Steve Hutchinson, in the offseason to the Minnesota Vikings. In years past, Hutchinson and left tackle Walter Jones combined to represent the best left side of an offensive line that most of us will ever witness.
Without Hutchinson, Alexander doesn't even look like the same player, much less an MVP. Replacement Maurice Morris will run behind the same line, and while he'll still be a good fantasy option for the next few weeks, don't expect anything record-breaking.
Weaker offensive lines can also explain the disappointing performances of Edgerrin James and Larry Johnson. The lesson learned is to work backward: identify a strong offensive line and get the back who
Before we get to this week's adds and drops, I'd like to remind you that if you haven't added last week's recommendation of Marques Colston, please do so at your earliest convenience, as he dominated in Monday night's heartwarming New Orleans victory.
Players to add:
1) Maurice Jones-Drew, running back, Jacksonville Jaguars. At just 5-foot-7, he's like a cutter version of Fred Taylor. Considering his small stature, powerful legs and lightning-fast speed, he could remind many of Sonic the Hedgehog. The 21-year-old player was great at UCLA and even better last week, getting 103 yards on just 13 carries, and once Fred Taylor's glass ankle shatters again, the offense could be centered around him.
2) Matt Leinart, quarterback, Arizona Cardinals. With Coach Dennis Green finally realizing that starter Kurt Warner is about as reliable as a used Yugo, Leinart might get the chance to have his first productive day since he hooked up with Kristen from Laguna Beach. He'll have some rookie jitters at first, but with Edgerrin James, Anquan Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald at his disposal, it's only a matter of time before he puts up numbers similar to those he posted at USC.
3) Cleveland Browns defense. Cleveland travels to Oakland to play the Raiders on Sunday. At this point, Oakland's offense is bad to the point where you could probably throw 11 monkeys out there with jerseys and they would hold the Raiders to

Kansas to face Texas Tech Jayhawks in must-win situation for tonight's match

Starting off Big 12 play with a 1-3 record, the Kansas volleyball team is in a must-win situation at Texas tonight in Lubbock, Texas.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said, "We cannot lose. It was very

G o o d news for the Jay hawks the
Tonight is just the second time Texas Tech has played at home, at the United Spirit Arena. They were swept by Colorado in their first home match.

basketball, so it's huge."
Statistically in the conference, the Red Raiders are at the bottom of the barrel in hitting percentage, assists, kills and digs.
The lone bright spot for the Red Raiders
is Phillister Sang, senior outside hitter. Sang is second in the conference in points, averaging 5.39 a game, and kills, averaging 4.59 a game.
"Tech is just on the verge of trying to break through," coach Ray
Bechard -said. "They'll fight and scratch because they're trying to protect a win at home."
The jayhawks, who are 1-3 on the road this season, enter tonight's game coming off a frustrating loss to the Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo.
Last season, the Red Raiders (7-6, 0-4) swept the Jayhawks (8-5, 1-3) in Lubbock. At the Horeisi Family Athletics Center, Kansas swept Texas Tech. Tech leads the all-time series, 13-8.
"I know Texas Tech thought they had an opportunity to be an NCAA tournament team at the beginning of the season," Bechard said. "They haven't had a lot of success yet, but they have a lot of season ahead of them."
Next up, Kansas will face Iowa State at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center.

under 10 points. Oakland should hold a contest where they pull fans from their seats at halftime and see if they can run the offense better than new starter Andrew Walter. The winner gets a roster spot and a Warren Sapp bobble-belly doll.
Players to drop:
1) Mike Bell, running back, Denver Broncos. Coach Mike Shanahan has predictably duped thousands of fantasy football players once again. Did you really think that he was going to go with an undrafted rookie out of Arizona all year? Now that Tatum Bell has solidified himself as the man with 27 carries for 123 yards, Mike Bell
can go back to standing on the sidelines drinking Gatorade and bragging to the ball boys about how he was once an NFL starting running back.
2) Chris Simms, quarterback, Charter Hospital of Tampa Bay. Unless "spleens removed" is an official stat in your league, Simms won't have a whole lot of value. His stats, zero touchdowns and six picks weren't worth a whole lot anyway. All you can do is wish Simms a healthy recovery, and keep an eye on replacement Bruce Gradkowski to see if he can master Gruden's offense and become fantasy-worthy.
3) Marty Booker, wide receiver, Miami Dolphins. Daunte Culpepper's inadecquacies as a quarterback have assassinated the fantasy football careers of several players, and Booker is no exception. Even if Culpepper can rediscover the ability to execute a forward pass, Marty Booker will still be the fourth option in the offense after Chris Chambers, Ronnie Brown and Randy McMichael. Think of him as Amani Toomer in a weaker offense.

Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschneider@kansan.com.
Meier Update:
Football Notes:
Mangino said freshman quarterback Kerry Meier has been throwing in practice and will continue to throw more as the week progresses. He said team doctors have told him that Meier is "improved and feeling better", but declined to name a starter for Saturday's game. Meier is currently listed as day-to-day.
Instant Replay:
If Meier is healthy, Mangino declined to speculate if he would
take over for Barmann.
Edited by Mindy Ricketts
"I don't discuss hypotheticals," Mangino said.
With coaches allowed to challenge one play per game, Mangino said he is picky when deciding which one he wants reviewed. He said that he asked for at least two plays to be challenged in last week's victory against South Florida, but an official said that the play was being reviewed by the replay official. Mangino has not used a
Kansas State defensive back out for season
MANHATTAN — When Kansas State opens Big 12 Conference play on the road Saturday against the pass-happy offense of Baylor, they will be without starting defensive back Bryan Baldwin.
ANTHONY MENDOZA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
The junior suffered a season-ending injury during last Saturdays 24-6 loss to No. 8 Louisville. Coach Ron
son before former coach Bill Snyder suspended him for the remainder of the year after a failed drug test.
Byron Garvin, who started against Florida Atlantic on Sept. 9, will once again move into the starting role.
Prince on Tuesday declined to disclose the nature of the injury, saying only that Baldwin will be out for the season.
Garvin, who had a team-high seven tackles and an interception in a 23-7 win over Marshall, leads all defensive backs with 19 tackles. He started the first seven games last sea-
"He's had a really good start to the season," Prince said of Baldwin. "He's been a big part of how we play on defense and his leadership in the secondary and developing a number of younger players with his leadership. He will continue to do that, but we'll just lose his services on the field."

COMMENTARY
Bad calls, blowouts spark this week's commentary
This week marks the first week of Big 12 Conference play. Each Wednesday, The University Daily Kansan will run columns from schools around the Big 12 analyzing the performance of their teams. To respond to the columnists, please send your letters to Kansan sports editor Michael Phillips at mphillips@kansan.com. This week The Kansan is also running a column from Eugene, Ore., responding to the officiating controversy that happened two weeks ago during the Oklahoma vs. Oregon game.

Nebraska's devastating 56-0 victory over Troy unexpected, encouraging, a little misleading
Troy's Tavares Williams (15) tries to arm-tackle Nebraska Kenny Wilson (27) in the second half of the Saturday game in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska beat Navy, 56-0.

Nebraska shut out Troy on Saturday 56-0. This Saturday the Jayhawks travel to Lincoln to face the Cornhuskers. Nebraska junior Evan Bland wrote this column for Monday's Daily Nebraskan:
Who would have thought?
I don't know any prognosticators or optimists who thought the fourth installment of Nebraska vs. Troy would go like this.
Saturday's Troy contest was supposed to be one of those "danger games," the ones that usually come right before or after a matchup against a more hyped opponent.

"This bunch of guys is different," Blakeen said of the Huskers. "Their style of play and their physical approach really gave us more than we could handle."
The comment could apply to Nebraska on either side of the ball Aside from the more glitzy offensive numbers, the Blackshirts were downright nasty. Troy quarterback Omar Haugabook should be getting regular visits from NU senior Adam Carriker and sophomore Ndamukong Suh in his nightmares
Either case could be made just by listening to Troy Coach Larry Blakenev after the game.
The Cornhuskers lost at No. 2 Southern California 28-10 one week ago, but they obviously didn't have much jet lag against these Trojans, grabbing nearly 600 yards of total offense and doing what they wanted on the ground and in the air.
The offensive balance was back, as NU ran for 316 yards and threw for 281 more. (It's interesting to note, though, Nebraska's play-calling this weekend was nearly identical to the USC game, with exactly a two-one ratio in favor of rushing the football.)
"Troy's a good team and we really put it to them tonight," NU senior quarterback Zac Taylor said. "I think we did a good job setting the tone."
Either way, Saturday's win won't put the USC loss out of the collective minds of Husker Nation, but, if nothing else, it has at least had a reassuring effect that the sky is indeed not falling.
No doubt they did. And in a danger game against an increasingly respectable Troy team.

The Trojans were 1-2, but that record came with an asterisk because it included a narrow 24-17 loss at then-No. 9 Florida State and another loss at Georgia Tech, a game the Trojans were in going into the fourth quarter.

Heck, the only shock of the second half was having a foil-wrapped hot dog carom on the sixth-floor window of the press box. (Is it me, or are those wiener launchers getting more powerful?)
So what does this game say about the Huskers? Depending on your point of view, it's either extremely
On the other hand, the unruly final score might be giving Nebraska a little too much credit.
It's true, Nebraska represented Troy's third straight road game and that probably had something to do with the Trojans' complete ineffectiveness in all three phases of the game. A team can only take so many road games against superior talent and still expect to be competitive.
"I think the biggest thing is it was the third big game we had played," Blakeney said. "We had been probably just worn and a little bit tired."

And, after Saturday's shutout, a whole lot of momentum.

Bad call will haunt Ducks and Sooners throughout season
Last week the Kansan ran a column from the University of Oklahoma about how the school was cheated out of a victory in its game against Oregon. This column was written by Luke Andrews for Monday's Oregon Daily Emerald.
Unless you entered a celebratory coma or have been hiding under a rock since Oregon's dramatic 34-33 come-from-behind victory last week against Oklahoma, you are well aware of the controversy that stemmed
O
game that led to the Ducks' game- winning touchdown.
You likely know all this because the national media refuse to let it go.
A week later, that small sequence of events, which accounted for roughly six seconds of a 60-minute game, lingers and has led to more national media coverage than Oregon has received in a very long time. It's unfortunate that it takes a controversy to finally thrust the Ducks into the national spotlight.
The call was mentioned in numerous televised games last Saturday, Even the Associated Press story on Oklahoma's overwhelming win against Middle Tennessee led with, "Oklahoma left nothing to the replay officials this time."
But it got worse than that.
And it's had quite the ripple effect as well. The officiating crew was suspended one game, the Pac-10's replay system, ironically, was reviewed, and an apology was issued to the Sooners by the conference after Oklahoma University President David Boren deemed the call an "outrageous injustice" in a letter. Boren also demanded that the game be wiped away from the record books, which calls into question his priorities as the president of a major university with more than 19,000 students.
Replay official Gordon Riese, a Portland native, reviewed the play in the booth but was apparently not offered the same angles available to those watching on television. His film was inconclusive, and he made the wrong call. Riese quickly became the victim of a death threat and his family fears for his health following what is now being termed as "Replawnate."
The unfortunate aspect about the entire fiasco is that it overshadowed a truly great game played by both teams.
For Oregon, it'll be a lingering asterisk no matter how they finish. Just imagine what the lead-in will be for Saturday's game on ABC against Arizona State. This is not something that's going to subside any time soon, and that's troubling because the Ducks still posted 34 points against a very good Sooners defense.
No matter your opinions -- Oregon fans argue that it wasn't the officials who let the Ducks score two late touchdowns and Oklahoma fans, well, it's obvious what they think -- that single call will define both team's seasons.
Opposing fans will now have more ammunition than the redundant slams on Oregon's uniforms. A friend of mine received a message after the Oklahoma game from a Washington State student she knows, saying, "dinner is on me when you come to Pullman, since you spent all your money paying off the referees."
Similarly for Oklahoma, this is one game that everyone will talk about whether the Sooners go 11-1 (you can imagine the firestorm there) or 5-7, considering they should have been 3-0 with a big road victory, and you just never know after that.
While Oregon will certainly take the "win", it's one that is truly going to haunt this team and the Sooners for the entire season.
And that's unfortunate considering the play was out of the control of both teams.

Farmer Secretary of State Madeleine Albright responds to questions posed by moderator Steven Jacques of the Dole Center. Albright spoke in the Lied Center Wednesday evening, conversing with Jacques for nearly an hour before taking questions from members of the audience.
Albright says Bush is mixing religion and politics
BY ERIN CASTANEDA
The United States has the responsibility to lead, but separation between religion and policy is necessary to do that effectively, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said in a speech at the Lied Center Wednesday night.
She also said resolution to international religious conflict resided in the United States' need to have a moral foreign policy that did not
become religious policy.
The inspiration for her new book, "The Mighty and Almighty: Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs" came from reflection about religion's role in American politics. Not understanding the faiths of others is a driving force of global conflict, she said.
She said every American president had evoked God somehow during his term. What President Bush has done differently from them, she
said, is make his belief policy.
She wrote in her book that Bush believe God was on his side. In contrast, Clinton believed people needed to be on God's side.
The certainty of Bush's beliefs is the problem, she said, because there is no alternative resolution in the time of crisis.
"We have lost that moral authority," she said.
The speech was set up in talk-show format. She fielded questions from Steven Jacques, Dole Institute senior fellow, then had a question-and-answer time with the audience.
In responding to those questions, she said dialogue with religious leaders and dialogue with enemies was the path to peace.

BOARD OF REGENTS
Regents contemplate study abroad mandate
BY DANNY LUPPINO
A Kansas Board of Regents proposal could require all KU students to study abroad before graduation.
Chairman Nelson Galle proposed the requirement in July. It would require all students at four-year institutions in Kansas to have some sort of international experience. KU administrators, including Provost Richard Lariviere, have responded positively.
"I think it's a wonderful idea,"
Lariviere said. "Studying abroad is one of the most important components of an undergraduate education, particularly in the current world in which students will be

starting their careers."
"Studying abroad is one of the most important components of an undergraduate education."
"If they somehow helped financially, I think it's a good idea," said leermy Terrell, Rose Hill junior.
Currently, 23.5 percent of KU students study abroad, placing the University 11th among public research universities in studyabroad participation.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said her office was not working to implement the plan. She said she thought the University would stop short of requiring all students to study abroad, but that a good goal would
"Nothing does this quicker than studying abroad," Lariviere said.
RICHARD LARIVIERE
Provost
He said one of the goals of the University was to expose students to new environments and new situations.
Lariviere said administrators had not yet discussed how they would implement the proposed plan.
"Most students I talk to want to study abroad," Gronbeck-Tedesco said. "It's just a matter of being able to afford it."
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of study abroad, said the biggest obstacle in achieving Galles goal would be the cost of studying abroad.
Some students agreed the cost barriers were the main deterrent
be to make it financially possible for all students to study abroad.
She said she feared students might resist studying abroad because of a "common myth" that it makes it
harder to graduate in four years. According to figures from the Office of Study Abroad, 45 percent of students with study abroad experience graduate in four years, compared to 26 percent of students who have not studied abroad.
"I think it should be the people's decision whether they want to go abroad or not," Jamie Webb, Manhattan freshman, said. "If I absolutely had to go to get a degree, I would, but I don't think it's necessary for my career intentions."

"I prefer playing in actual tournaments as opposed to online because you're more likely to meet players who are serious about competing." Engle said. "And if you're playing with friends, you're usually just messing around."

Provost seeks 'holistic' admissions program for KU Lariviere wants board of regents to consider each institution's needs
Provost Richard Lariviere wants to change a Kansas law that requires all state educational institutions to have uniform admissions standards in order to build a more diverse student body at the University of Kansas.
BY NATE MCGINNIS
Larviere said he thought it would be best to let the Board of Regents speak with all state institutions. The regents would then decide the admissions standards
"It probably isn't the best use of what we know about admissions to use the one-size-fits-all admissions program," Larivlere said.
that best suited each institution.
Lariviere said he favored a holistic admissions program that would look at the whole profile of a student. He said this would shape the best possible incoming class. He discussed the idea with members of the Council of Chief Academic Officers, a council of representatives from each regents school, at its meeting last week.
"The same regulations don't cut the best deal for everyone," Lariviere said.
Gary Miller, vice president for academic affairs and research at Wichita State University as well as a member of the council, said that
he didn't think the current standards hindered universities, but that he was interested in exploring other options.
He said he would support a broad discussion about state admission standards that would recognize the various distinct missions of each institution.
Heidi Simon, associate director of admissions and scholarships at the University, said the current system worked, but it didn't allow the University to focus on students it wanted to attract.
"I think it does work for some students and I think that those students will still be served appro-

Lariviere said he was unsure whether he would try to get the law changed this legislative session because he didn't know the ins and outs of Kansas politics.

'C'mon Barbie, let's go party'on the Internet
Welding Wescoe
LONDON — Three-year-old Jack Neal loves cars and apparently can't resist a deal.
While his mother's back was turned, the toddler bought a Barbie-pink Nissan Figaro for nearly $16,000 on eBay.
"I had just come off the computer and I thought I had logged off, I came out of eBay," his mother Rachel told the British Broadcasting Corp. on Monday.
"Jack jumped on the chair, (went) straight in, found the page and bought the car." Unable to read, the youngster likely used the "buy it now" option to make the purchase.
The Neals learned about the sale when they received an e-mail from auto dealer David Jones, who thought he had made his first Internet sale.
An amused Jones said he will not hold the Neals to their purchase. The car will be relisted later.
"I've got a 2 1/2-year-old son myself and I don't think he would be able to do this, although he's bright," he said.
Jack denied culpability.
Asked if he had made the purchase, he simply squirmed and muttered, "No..."
Officers investigate Lil Tootsie's nightclub
TAMPA, Fla. — Hillsborough County vice officers spent $6,400 for more than 90 lap dances, drinks and tips in an investigation into nudity and liquor law violations at an adult bikini bar that spanned more than two years, county records show.
"Sometimes that's what it takes to get rid of the problems — a lot of attention," Sheriff David Gee said of the investigation into Lil Tootsie's nightclub.
Gee said vice detectives first targeted the club, which features bikini-clad women available for private dance sessions, in February 2004 after deputies responded to numerous calls ranging from violence to DUI arrests, The Tampa Tribune reported.
Hillsborough bikini bars can serve alcohol as long as they don't allow nudity. Sheriff's detectives sought 41 misdemeanor nudity charges against 15 dancers at the club, but were unable to identify another 34 dancers, records show. Detectives bought seven lap dances from "Cherry" but never identified her, records show.
The agency recently asked county commissioners to revoke the club's special permit to serve alcohol. A vote is set for November.
The owner of the property, JEM-N-I Inc., is suing to stop the revocation process, saying the company was not given enough
notice about the county hearing.
Terrestrial snakes find haven around family
WILFORD, Idaho — Shortly after the Hepworths began working on their fixer-upper, they experienced a trauma known to few besides Samuel L. Jackson's character in "Snakes on a Plane."
Snakes fell on Lyman Hepworth's head when he opened the door to a pump house near the small house the couple planned to buy.
"When it warmed up, we walked onto the yard and the whole yard moved," Jeanine Hepworth told the Rexburg Standard Journal.
One day, Lyman Hepworth reached to turn on a light and discovered the pull cord was actually a snake.
Turns out the property was a winter snake sanctuary, likely a snake den or hibernaculum where snakes gather in large numbers to hibernate for the winter, said Lauri Hanauska-Brown, a biologist with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
The snakes are likely terrestrial garter snakes, she said. Reptiles are a protected species, meaning the Hepworths cannot bait them or kill them.
Fish and Game will attempt to move the snakes, but it could be difficult because if they move them too far away they could die and if they move them nearby the snakes would likely return to hibernate, Hanauska-Brown said.
The Hepworths so far have not moved in, but they have a plan: They sent a videotape of the house, their children and, of course, the snakes to the producers of "Extreme Home Makeover" in hopes the television show will send its decorators in for a filmed renovation.
CHICAGO — it's the Boston Tea Party gone high-tech.
Opinions voiced through e-mailed tea bag images
Quinn's official Web site now has online images of tea bags consumers can mail electronically to chief executives of St. Louis-based Ameren Corp. and to ComEd, a division of Chicagobased Exelon Corp.
A week after asking unhappy illinoisans to mail tea bags with their utility bill payments to protest upcoming rate increases, Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn said online bill-payers can get in on the act.
Earlier this month, Ameren announced that its customers will see increases of between 40 and 55 percent, while Com-Ed is planning increases of about 22 percent.
The utilities serve 4.9 million customers in Illinois.
Quinn initially wanted customers to mail tea bags to the companies with their payments, but the Postal Service warned that the lumpy bags could damage their high-speed, high-dollar processing equipment.
Quinn said the tea bags will harken back to the Boston Tea Party protest over unfair taxation by the British.
Ameren spokesman Leigh Morris has said that consumers wanting to voice their opinion should use e-mail, instead of sending tea bags that could slow the processing of bills.

Chinese broadcast to spread city-wide
Local station moves radio tower to strengthen its signal across Lawrence
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Instead of blasting a mix of Fergie and Justin Timberlake, 103.7 FM broadcasts news, music and Christian sermons — in Chinese. Within two months when it moves its radio tower, its signal will reach all of Lawrence.
The Footprint Radio Broadcast Ministry, which began three years ago to reach out to Chinese students at the University of Kansas, successfully worked with the Federal Communications Commission during the past year to move its radio tower from outside of Lawrence near Clinton Lake to a closer location within the city. The tower's new location, which is undecided at this point but will be somewhere in north Lawrence, will reach more students because the current signal is weak in some parts of the city, including the downtown area.
The Lawrence Chinese
Evangelical Church helps to sponsor the ministry. Joel Li, the church's pastor, said 16 of the 24 hours the station broadcasts were completely in Chinese, making it the only Chinese radio station in the area.
"We've had interference with our broadcasts at our current tower location," Li said. "Some students are not getting a constant and good signal and we haven't been able to affect as many students as we want to."
sermons, community news and English conversation lessons.
Timothy Chong, Macau, China. graduate student who works with the station, estimated about 60 to 80 Chinese students and faculty
"Most people in China believe in Buddha. So here is a chance for them to get to know who Jesus is."
LIYING WANG Changchun, China, freshman
Danny Li, the ministry's director, said the station began as a way to provide spiritual encouragement to Chinese students while they studied abroad. Regularly featured programming includes Bible studies, Christian hymns and songs.
members at the University regularly listened to the Footprint station.
Ch o n g said that he would like to listen to Gospel music and other programs on
the station on his way to his internship in Overland Park, but that he always lost the signal before he left Lawrence.
"It's very useful to propagate God's message through Footprint." Chong said. "It's especially important for Chinese students to listen to the music and programs from their own language to maintain their culture."
"We don't have a lot of chances to get to know God; most people in China believe in Buddha," Wang said. "So here is a chance for them to know who Jesus is."
Liying Wang, Changchun, China freshman, has volunteered her time to record programs at the station. Wang said she got involved with the ministry to receive encouragement in a new country and a new religion.
Chong, however, is simply looking forward to being able to listen to the station all the way to Overland Park while he makes his weekly commutes.

FOREIGN POLICY
Iranian president resists nuclear disarmament
BY STEPHEN GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — Negotiators for Iran and the European Union held five hours of "very intense" talks Wednesday over Iran's disputed nuclear program and planned to meeting again Thursday, officials said.
EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and chief Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani went into their meeting at a Foreign Ministry facility by the side of Lake Tegel on the outskirts of Berlin without making statements to reporters.
German Foreign Minister Frank-
Walter Steinmeier, who was not participating in the Berlin talks, said he was optimistic progress could be made.
"I have the expectation that the talks today will be successful," Steinmeier said. "I think that today we will not get any final news, but hopefully in the course of tomorrow"
Solana would report back to the six countries trying to persuade Iran to give up its program to enrich uranium, he said, "and then it will be decided together if there are conditions for a return to the negotiating table."
But in Tehran, Iran's hard-line president Mahmoud Mahmoud阿曼迪nejad
said his country won't give up "one iota" of its right to pursue a peaceful nuclear program.
Ahmadinejad said the U.S. and its European allies want to force Iran to suspend uranium enrichment but won't succeed.
"They want to create propaganda about it and tell the world that they forced Iran to suspend (enrichment), but they are mistaken. The Iranian nation won't retreat from its right one iota," he was quoted as saying.
The negotiators met for talks before adjourning until Thursday, said Solana spokeswoman Cristina Gallach.
POLITICS
BY LIZ SIDOTI ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Republicans will hold their 2008 presidential convention in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, choosing a location in the politically pivotal Midwest.
The convention is slated for Sept. 1-4,2008.
The four-day event will be held at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., a concert venue and the home of the National Hockey League's Minnesota Wild.
Democrats also had been considering holding their convention in the Twin Cities, but the Republican announcement left Democrats with two competing cities to choose from — New York and Denver.
The Republican National Committee will vote in January to affirm the decision of the party's site selection committee. GOP
officials say approval is assured.
By picking the Twin Cities for 2008, the GOP will ensure plenty of news coverage in media markets in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa — all battleground states in the 2004 election and ones expected to be competitive in the next presidential race.
"The heartland of America" said Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn. "Whoever wins those states is going to be the next president of the United States."
In 2004, Democrat John Kerry won the state 51 percent to 48 percent. The last Republican to win a presidential race in the state was Richard Nixon in 1972 and the last national convention happened in 1892.
SPEECH (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"Our stereotype is that we're cold and liberal and Democratic, and we're still cold," said Steven Schier, a political scientist at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn.
She said the Iraq War had made America less safe because more terrorists had had arisen since it began.
"I think Iraq is going to go down as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy," she said to the audience.
She said that she believed in peace, but was not a pacifist and that military force could be justifiably necessary. She discussed American military occupation — or lack thereof — in Iraq, Iran, North Korea and Africa.
She said that there were no good options or solutions for Iraq at this time and that American military troops need to get out.

Albright addressed American involvement in Rwanda and Darfur as well. She said the Y generation was more tuned into issues with genocide than the general population.
"Our generation screwed everything up," she said. "It is clear at this University that students make issues known and you try to get the government to pay attention to you," she said.

LOTTERY
'100 Miracles' wins Powerball
Sargento Foods Inc. workers try good luck charms,split money
BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOND DU LAC, Wis. — The organizers of a lottery pool at a cheese company were starting to get discouraged. They had tried good luck charms for three years and even considered going to a different store to buy the tickets.
But then a worker suggested rubbing the belly of a Buddha statue, which some say will bring good luck. They set the statue on the tickets in a worker's locker, and people went in to rub it.
"We don't know if it's the Buddha that brought us the good fortune to win this. We don't know if it was our prayers to God that were
answered," said Mary Entringer, who organized the pool at Sargento Foods Inc. in Plymouth. "We're just grateful it was 100 people, and we're all going to share in this bounty."
The winners, who call themselves the "100 Miracles," turned in their $208.6 million Powerball ticket Friday. They have hired a lawyer and plan to split the prize equally.
Entringer, 55, said 70 to 90 workers on the plant's second shift usually pool their money for the lottery when the jackpot is over $100 million. But she said something made her go against company rules and make an announcement over the public address system the
day before the Aug. 5 drawing. That boosted participation to 100 employees.
Entringer spoke during a news conference with about 75 of the winners Wednesday in front of Ma and Pa's Grocery Express in Fond du Lac, where they bought the ticket. The store will receive $100,000 for the win.
The grocery is along the so-called "Miracle Mile," a street where several stores sold multimillion-dollar tickets during the 1990s.
Entringer said four winners have left the company — one 63-year-old woman retired, a man went into business with his wife and another person wanted to pursue other opportunities.

CONGRESS
Terrorist interrogation now approved Democrats oppose bill, want to 'tone down' Bush's power
ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The House approved legislation Wednesday giving the administration authority to interrogate and prosecute terrorism detainees, moving President Bush to the edge of a pre-election victory with a key piece of his antiterror plan.
The 253-168 vote in the House came shortly after senators agreed to limit debate on their own nearly identical bill, all but assuring its passage on Thursday.
Republican leaders are hoping to work out differences and send Bush a final version before leaving town this weekend to campaign for the Nov. 7 congressional elections.
For nearly two weeks the GOP have been embarrassed as the White House and rebellious Republican senators have fought publicly over whether Bush's plan would give him too much authority. But they struck a compromise
last Thursday, and Republicans are hoping approval will bolster their effort to cast themselves as strong on national security, a marquee issue this election year.
House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, all but dared Democrats to vote against the legislation.
"Will my Democrat friends work with Republicans to give the president the tools he needs to continue to stop terrorist attacks before they happen, or will they vote to force him to fight the terrorists with one arm tied behind his back?" he asked just before members cast their ballots.
Democrats opposed the bill by about a five-to-one margin, with many wanting to tone down the powers it would give to Bush and the limits it would impose on terror-war suspects' abilities to defend themselves during trials.
The measure also provides extensive definitions of war crimes such as torture, rape and biological experiments — but gives Bush broad authority to decide which other techniques U.S. interrogators can legally use. The provisions are intended to protect CIA interrogators from being prosecuted for war crimes.
The legislation would establish a military court system to prosecute terror suspects, a response to the Supreme Court ruling last June that Congress' blessing was necessary. While the bill would grant defendants more legal rights than they had under the administration's old system, it nevertheless would eliminate rights usually granted in civilian and military courts.
Said Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohi; "This bill is everything we don't believe in."
In a statement issued after the vote, Bush, who will visit GOP senators Thursday morning, urged the Senate to approve the measure and congratulated the House for its "commitment to strengthening our national security."

University admissions process needs reform
The word "soft" comes to mind when looking at the admission standards for the University of Kansas. Current standards let anyone with a functioning brain into the University.
All it takes for an in-state freshman to receive admission is score a 21 or better on the ACT or 980 or better on the SAT. If you can't achieve that there's still hope. All you need is a 2.0 cumulative GPA and rank in the top one-third of your graduating class. Low expectations for a quality public university.
The admission standards, set by state law, are in need of change. New Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Richard Lariviere has sounded off on the ability for Kansas Board of Regents universities to decide their standards. For students to get added value to a degree from the University, more stringent admission standards are needed, and long overdue.
We certainly don't want to prevent Kansas residents from becoming future Jayhawks, but
more should be required to enter this nationally recognized University. Our friends to the east, in Columbia, Mo., have a little more rigorous admission standard: Incoming freshmen must score a 24 or better on the ACT or 1090 or better on the SAT.
Another highly recognized university, the University of Oklahoma requires in-state incoming freshmen to achieve a 3.0 cumulative GPA and rank in the top 25 percent of their graduating class. Freshmen can also be admitted with an ACT of 24 or higher or SAT of 1090 or higher, along with remaining in the top 50 percent of their class.
Admission standards are indicative of a university, and when they are low, expectations of students at the University itself are low. It may take some time and support from other state universities, but the state needs to address this issue to enhance all Kansas universities.

COMMENTARY
Vouchers a remedy for broken system
The saddest part about the debate over how to fix Americas educational system is that no one really seems to want to make changes. We can all agree that the current system is inefficient and ineffective, yet we defend that system when anyone questions it. Our current system is a failure, we admit, because it leaves poorer and minority populations behind; because teachers are underpaid; and because our test scores compare poorly to test scores from other countries. And in response, our best prescription is increasing funding to public schools.
CITY STATE ZIP CODE
If only insufficient funds were the extent of our public schools' problems. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released a report in 2003 saying that the US spends more money per student than any other country in the world — over $10,000 per year. Yet our test scores are consistently near the middle of the pack. If the problem isn't due to funding, then the problem must be structural.
The biggest problem is that the American public school system functions as a monopoly. Each school district monopolizes education in its own geographical area. Students within that area are either forced to attend the schools the school district tells them to attend, or they must pay thousands of dollars in annual tuition to transfer to a private school. Obviously, most families — particularly poorer families, and thus disproportionately minority families — cannot afford to send their children to private schools. And if the school they are being forced to attend features low expectations, incompetent teachers and

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
A perfect example of this problem is sitting just to our northeast, in Wyandotte County. In Wyandotte High School's 2005 Adequate Yearly Progress report, only 10.3 percent of Wyandotte's 10th-graders received scores of "proficient" or better on the school's math assessment test (the state average was 51.6 percent), and only 36.8 percent of 11th-graders scored proficient or better on the reading assessment (the state average was 64.4 percent). Faced with a dire learning situation, students at Wyandotte High School would probably be best served to transfer to a different school — but at a school where 76 percent of students are classified as "economically disadvantaged?" that seems unlikely.
Many economists, most notably Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman, have advocated a system in which students can receive vouchers from the government and use them to pay for private school tuition. Such a program, known as a "school choice" or "school voucher" program, would force schools to compete for students the same way that businesses compete for customers — by giving them the best product for their money. Schools would have to use their money more efficiently than they do currently,
or their students would transfer to better schools. Good teachers would be valued more highly because they would attract more students (and thus more funds). And lower-class and minority students would be able to attend the same schools that the wealthy attend, thereby helping to remove themselves from the cycle of poverty.
The major argument against a school choice system is that it would take students (and thus funds) away from the public schools. As Joseph P. Viteriti pointed out in his essay, "Definiti Equity: Politics, Markets, and Public Policy," this argument rests on the assumption that students, given the ability to leave public schools, would do so, and in large numbers. Students stay in public schools, then, only because they have no other option. As Viteritti says, "Public education may be the only sector of the economy in which the providers' lack of confidence in their own product is used as an argument against offering an alternative."
Unfortunately, school choice programs have been slow to gain political traction. Many are uneasy with such dramatic reform, and scare tactics have been employed by teachers' unions that would be hurt by allowing students to choose private schools. Until we change the system, we'll keep pouring funds into underachieving public schools, and we'll keep finishing in the middle of the pack.

COMMENTARY
You are driving your car close to campus and doing your best to avoid the pedestrians trying to cross the street. Most of them at least look before they cross, so it is easy to avoid hitting them. However, all of a sudden a guy walks directly in front of your car and you slam on the breaks, just missing him by inches. He doesn't even seem to notice and continues on his way, oblivious to the fact that he was almost hit. As you lean out your window to scream profanities at him, you realize it would do no good. Is it because this person is deaf? No. It is because you see the tell-tale white cords of an iPod running from his ears.
Personal mp3 players are becoming more prevalent as people feel the need to tune out reality while they are walking to class. That means more people are becoming less aware of their surroundings, with dire consequences. Don't get me wrong. I love my cheap SanDisk Sansa Player, but is it really necessary to have your favorite music playing constantly while you are out in public? Cell phones are bad enough, but at least you have one free ear to detect the sound of screeching tires heading in your direction. With mp3 players, you are almost totally immersed in the music. Deprived of the sense of sound, you are down to only four senses to guide you through your day and are effectively deaf to the rest of the world. I have nearly hit several people in my car who were simply too engrossed in that overplayed Gnarls Barkley song to look both ways.
It isn't just on campus. The other day I was at the gym and I saw a guy nearly got his foot crushed when someone tried to lift a weight that was too heavy and dropped it to the ground. The person barely noticed because he was simply too interested in his music to give a damn about what was going on around him. In a room full of weights and exercise equipment, you would think that being aware of one's surroundings would be a top priority. If you are running or using a cardio machine, then it is hard to see what danger an mp3 player would cause unless someone started using a 45-pound weight as a discus, but you get my drift.
It also isn't just college students. Commuters on subways and buses love the fact that they can break the monotony of the daily trip to and from work with a little music. Pickpockets love it, too. I know that this is probably a lost cause, but sometimes it pays to be aware of your surroundings on your way to class, work or wherever, even if it is just a little more boring than listening to "Crazy" for the millionth time.

HOROSCOPE
TRAVIS NELSON
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
You don't have to do everything, although you think you can. Share the load and have more fun. Be a team player.
ARIES (March 21-April 19 Today is an 8
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 5
Follow through on a promise you made to yourself. If you can't think of one, make one now. It won't be a burden; it'll be an inspiration.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8
if you're smart — and you are
— you're not in this alone. You have
at least one strong assistant. Get
person to take over some of
the management duties.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)
Today is F
You have an opportunity now to greatly enhance your reserves. Stash away as much as you can. As you well know, more is better.
LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Today is an 8
There's no point in sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. Get busy and figure out a way to get back into the game.
Figure out what you really want, and get rid of a lot of the rest. Be practical, but allow yourself a few luxuries, too.
VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Today is a 5
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is a 7
You have a couple of good ideas, but don't go bounding off. There's more planning to be done, if you don't want to race right off a cliff. And even more if you do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 5
You don't have to do without for long, you can always come up with another source of revenue. Don't tell anybody about it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
You exude trustworthiness, and that's partially why people often ask you to intervene and help them to decide. Tell them the truth, not what they want to hear. It's your duty.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
Pick each step carefully, as you climb up to the top. Even an impossible dream is achievable, this way.
Keep your objective in mind.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Todav is a 7
The reason people like to do things for you is obvious. You're always available to them when they need assistance. What goes around comes around.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6
If at first you don't succeed, don
turn around and give up. Ask again,
and again, and again. Eventually,
you'll wear them down.

THE RANT
Fans must respect athletes, abandon personal criticism
Most of the time fans look just at the athlete and not at the person inside. No example has been more apparent than Terrell Owens. He has been judged as a clubhouse cancer for years, and for good reason.
I don't like Owens and I never have, but I think all too often people overlook these athletes' human qualities.
On Wednesday morning it was reported that Owens attempted to commit suicide through the use of pain medication. By the afternoon he had called a press conference to explain the situation as a misunderstanding.
Whether it's true or not, Owens clearly has a problem that should be sympathized with, no matter how you feel about Owens and his antics that have plagued the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles and now the Dallas Cowboys these past few years.
What Owens has done to those three franchises is wrong, and I would never want him on a team of which I was a fan. But we have to look past those issues when a serious story like this occurs.
The money and the fame appeared not to be enough for Owens, and his psychological problems may have come to the forefront of his mind on Tuesday evening.
Athletes have feelings and personal problems that we ignore. The only personal problem we usually hear about among athletes is

substance abuse after athletes are arrested. Fans look at athletes as inhuman, as not having any internal problems. Fans think there is no way an athlete could be depressed, not with the fame and fortune that comes with being an athlete.
Owens' story is unique in that it might give people the opportunity to look at a troubled athlete in a different light.
Even at the collegiate level, here at Kansas, fans often ignore the personal feelings of athletes.
Take, for example, David Padgett during the '03-'04 basketball season. Padgett was ridiculed throughout the season by students in the Free for All. I agreed that his play on the court was sub-par, but considering the expectations that accompanied him to campus, the comments often were personal and offensive.
After that season Padgett transferred to Louisville. It is not clear why Padgett transferred; he claimed he wanted to face the basket more and be less of a post player. However, it has to be difficult to live in a community where you are afraid to step out of your residence hall because you are not sure what
might be shouted at you.
Kansas kicker Johnny Beck struggled during his final three seasons on campus and was also a scapegoat for students and fans. I remember talking to him at media day before his senior season, and he was asked about the criticism he heard the previous two seasons. He said the University was "their school," in response to the question. That shocked me, Beck appeared to not even consider himself a member of the student body or a part of the university. I don't know whether it was due to the comments or due to his feelings of alienation, but it was alarming that he said 'their school' when he spent four years here.
I understand criticizing athletes. It is a right of passage for fans. But going overboard should not be tolerated, especially when a situation like Owens' arrives.
I know some fans might be happy with Owens' problem, but those fans are insensitive and wrong. Wishing for a man to have psychological problems and to be pushed so far overboard is a serious matter and should not be encouraged. Fans should continue to cheer their teams on and offer criticism, but it should never become personal.

Police report states 'drug overdose' for Dallas Cowboys receiver
FREE HAIRCUTS
DALLAS — Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens denied a police report Wednesday that he attempted suicide, saying he became groggy after mixing painkillers with supplements.
As if to prove he's doing fine, Owens went from the hospital to catching passes from quarterback Drew Bledsoe within two hours, then proclaimed himself "very capable of going out there and playing on Sunday" — despite whatever happened Tuesday night and a broken right hand.
pain medication found by his publicist, who was with him at the time and called 911. He said the rest of the pills were in a drawer.
"I was non-responsive when she made that call," Owens said. "She made the call out of her judgment for my well-being."
Appearing in a news conference at team headquarters a few hours after leaving a hospital for what a police report described as "a drug overdose", Owens wore workout gear and no bandage on his right hand. The star receiver smiled and seemed more amused than peeved at the latest ruckus surrounding him.
Owens, 32, blamed a combination of hydrocodone, a generic form of Vicodin, with all-natural
supplements for making him ill.
---
Owens said the confusion likely stemmed from an empty bottle of
"It's very unfortunate for it to go from an allergic reaction to a suicide attempt," he said.
Rescue workers arrived at Owens' home around 8 p.m. Tuesday and took him to an emergency room. When word spread, publicist Kim Etheredge said it was an allergic reaction.
But the story shifted Wednesday morning when several media outlets received a police report that had yet to be released by the authorities — saying Owens had attempted suicide by overdosing on the painkillers, even putting two more pills into his mouth after an unidentified friend, later identified as Etheredge, intervened.

Hockey team won't receive funding
NEW YORK - The Columbia men's ice hockey club team will be suspended for the first semester of the 2006-2007 season, and will be on probation for the next two years, after posting off-col recruitment fliers, the latest of several Athletics Department policy violations, officials announced on Tuesday.
The hockey team will not receive funding or be permitted to resume practices and games until Jan. 16, 2007. The punishment also requires the team to issue a formal apology to the Columbia community.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education said that the team must "acknowledge that it did not seek approval from Club Sports administrators before printing and posting the recruitment flier."

Famous golfer Byron Nelson dies of natural causes
IRVING, Texas — Byron Nelson, golf's courtly "Lord Byron" whose 11 straight tournament victories in 1945 stand as one of sports' most enduring records, has died. He was 94.
His wife, Peggy Nelson, told family friend Angela Enright that her husband appeared fine as she left for Bible study in the morning. As she left their Roanoke home, he told her, "I'm so proud of you," something he often said about her church involvement. When
she returned, she found him on the back porch facing his woodworking shop.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said he died of natural causes.
Known for his graceful swing and gentle manner, Nelson had the greatest year in the history of professional golf in 1945 when he won 18 tournaments.

Cardinals quarterback Warner keeps starting job
TEMPE, AZ. — KUR Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said.
Green was responding to Monday's ESPN report that said rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
Associated Press
Warner threw three interceptions, two while Arizona was inside the opponent's 14-yard line, and fumbled a snap at the St. Louis 18 with 1:46 to go in the Cardinals' '16-14 home loss to the Rams last Sunday.
Negro Leagues Legend Buck O'Neil hospitalized
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Buck O'Neil remained hospitalized Tuesday with what was described as extreme fatigue, and friends are becoming increasingly worried about the 94-year-old Negro Leagues legend.
official of the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City said he visited Buck on Tuesday and that he was still very weak.
O'Neil spent about three days in the hospital in August, then was readmitted about 10 days ago. An
"He's very fatigued and he's lost his voice," said Bob Kendrick. "Buck can only talk at a whisper. It's my understanding that doctors are continuing to do tests and they still are not sure what the problem is.
"Everybody is very concerned. He's almost 95 years old, and he's been on an exhausting schedule since last February."
O'Neil barely missed being voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in February when a special committee considered several dozen Negro League and pre-Negro League figures.
His many noteworthy accomplishments during an eventful lifetime of baseball include being a former star player and manager for the Kansas City Monarchs in the 1940s and '50s and becoming the first African-American to serve as a coach in the major leagues.
"Since February, he has not had the schedule that one would ever think that a 94-year old man would have," Kendrick said. "The wide array of emotion, and the mental and physical drain of not getting voted into the Hall of Fame I'm sure took its toll."
For many years, he has traveled the country keeping alive the legacy of the Negro Leagues and its unique niche in American history. He has become one of the most-sought speakers in all of sports.

American League playoff teams set OAKLAND, Calif. The American League playoff teams are set
All that remains to be determined are the first-round matchups.
After three days of waiting, the Oakland Athletics clinched the AL West title Tuesday night when they beat the Seattle Mariners 12-3, setting off a wild celebration in Seattle that lived up to the A's frathouse reputation.
bined with the Los Angeles Angels' 5-2 loss against Texas, sent the small-budget A's back to the postseason after a two-year absence.
Nick Swisher and Milton Bradley each homered in a four-run second to back Rich Harden's five shutout innings. The win, com-
"This is a team. We've had injuries all year long and people in baseball were wondering how this team was going to win," slugger Frank Thomas said. "We have a group of guys that care about each other and we stuck together all year long and found a way."
Oakland earned its first AL West crown since 2003 and the 14th in franchise history thanks to a sensational second half — a hallmark for this club in recent years.
The New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins already wrapped up playoff berths as well, but the division series matchups won't be certain until the AL Central race is decided.
The Tigers lead the Twins by one game with five to play. Detroit also won the season series against Minnesota and would win the tiebreaker if they finish with the same record.
The star-studded Yankees, with a $200 million payroll, are no surprise. But the Tigers ($82 million) began the season with the 14th-highest payroll in the major leagues, while the Twins ($64 million) ranked 19th and Oakland ($62 million) was 21st.
So much for small-market teams not having a chance.

Nowitzki, 28, already was signed for the upcoming season and had a $16 million-plus option for 2007-08 under the maximum contract he signed in 2001. The new deal guarantees that season, plus tacks on three more. He'll turn 33 the summer his new contract expires.

Brown played there in the Shrine Bowl his senior year of high school. Kurtenbach was with Kansas two years ago when they played at Nebraska, but he didn't see any action. Being a junior, Saturday will be his last chance to do so.
Coach Mark Mangino hasn't guaranteed that either will get into the game Saturday. Brown said he had no idea if he would see the field, but he would be ready for the opportunity.
Even if Kurtenbach doesn't get to play in his final trip to Nebraska, the experience of being on the sidelines, surrounded by the Nebraska football atmosphere he grew up with, will be enough.
"It's probably one of the best places to play," Kurtenbach said. "When you run out there, there's this sea of red and it's so loud. It's a great opportunity to be there down on the field. Very few people get that chance and it's a blast."

two came from different Nebraskan backgrounds, Nebraska football left a nearly identical impression on each one's life.
Nebraska football during the Tom Osborne era. First and foremost, they recalled Nebraska's national championship teams of the mid-to-late '90s. For both, Matt Davison's title-saving touchdown catch after Shevin Wiggins's kick in the game against Missouri in 1997 was the most vivid Nebraska football memory.
Even Brown's and Kurtenbach's gameday experiences were similar. Although they watched the games from different vantage points, both spent Saturdays watching the games with their fathers.
When Brown's father, Todd, was in college, he ran track and walked on to the Nebraska football team. So, when Micah was little, he sometimes watched games at field level with Todd.
Kurtenbach lived on a farm, and it was only Nebraska games that could bring him and his father, Dale, in from the fields on Saturdays.
"That was fun, just being around the family," Kurtenbach said. "That was an integral part of life."
Brown and Kurtenbach both lived more than two hours away from Lincoln, but it didn't feel like it on game day.
"Everybody just cheers for Nebraska. Everybody is a fan and they travel to every game that they can." Brown said. "It's like an event. The whole town shuts down when it's a Nebraska game."
Football makes Saturdays as spiritual as Sundays for some Nebraskans.
"There is no Nebraska State or pro team. It's just Nebraska football and for a lot of people it's a religion." Kurtenbach said.
As essential as Nebraska football was to Brown and Kurtenbach, when it came time to go to college, they were destined for Lawrence, not Lincoln.
Brown said the decision was simple. Kansas offered him a scholarship to run track and a chance to major in film studies. Nebraska did not. Brown didn't even consider extending his football career into college until after his freshman year. And though his father was a Cornhusker, Brown was never pressured to don scarlet and cream.
"My dad has probably been the biggest influence in my life and I try to follow in his footsteps as much as I can. I just made a detour of where I'm going to school," Brown said, adding that his dad would be wearing blue on Saturday, despite his loyalties to Nebraska.
Kurtenbach said Nebraska was an option early in his search, but Kansas presented better opportunities for him. He said he didn't regret coming here.
Their college decisions weren't affected by the reduction in the Nebraska walk-on program after Bill Callahan was hired. Brown was already set on Kansas and Frank Solich was still coaching at Nebraska when Kurtenbach was looking at colleges.
While the chance to play in their home state makes the game special to Brown and Kurtenbach, it won't be the first visit to Nebraska's Memorial Stadium in uniform for either of them.

Jana Correa leads the team with 21 kills, says that the Jayhawks'road loss is disappointing
BY DREW DAVISON
Both the Kansas and Texas Tech volleyball teams were in desperate need of a conference victory last night. But only the Red Raiders left satisfied with their performance.
"We had just too many errors, therein lies the difference," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
The Red Raiders edged out the Jayhawks, protecting their home court by winning a four-game match 3-1 and leaving the Jayhawks winless in all three of Kansas' conference road matches this season.
Kansas (8-6, 1-4 Big 12) committed 34 hitting errors, while Texas Tech (8-6, 1-4) had just 21.
After two straight conference losses, Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, didn't have an explanation for Kansas' performance.
Kansas lost the match, with final scores of 26-30, 25-30, 30-22 and 25-30.
"I don't know, it really is hard to explain," she said. "We just need to play our game, and not worry about the other team."
Noyes finished the night with 13 kills on a .231 hitting efficiency.
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa continued to carry the team. She had a double-double night with a match-high 21 kills and 15 digs, but afterwards focused only on the loss.
"It's complicated, after a loss it just sucks," she said. "I'm very sad, very disappointed."
ON
In game one, Kansas led or was tied with Texas Tech until Tech's Laura Gottschalk gave her team its first lead, 26-25, with a kill. Tech was also able to limit its hitting errors to two, while Kansas committed eight. Tech had a higher hitting percentage as well, .357 to KU's .250, leading the Red Raiders to a four-point victory to open the match.
Kat Hillsabeck/DAILY TOREADOR
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa attempts to spike the ball during Wednesday's volleyball game between the jayhawks and the Red Raiders. Correa led all players with 21 kills and 15 digs in the losing effort.
Just as it was all night long, hitting errors hindered Kansas in game two, with the team committing nine. The Kansas offense was
shut down as well, as Texas Tech's strong defensive unit held Kansas to a .197 hitting efficiency. Tech, with a .378 efficiency, took the second stanza by five.
Then the lajhawks came to life in game three. They opened with five unanswered points, and their defense carried them to an eight-point victory against the Red Raiders, who hit a match-low .108. Kansas' offense also struggled with a .179 hitting efficiency.
Down 20-9 in game four, Kansas scored seven straight points to get back into the game. The Jayhawks could not seal the deal, however, as they lost by five.
Kansas will next face Iowa State (10-4, 2-2) at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horesei Family Athletics Center.

BASEBALL
Fall practice begins as baseball team works to integrate freshman players
BY ALISSA BAUER
In Memorial Stadium, a group of athletes gather before sunrise, running steps at 6:30. The players sweat together through sprints and conditioning, training for another championship.
Not a Fort Worth Bowl repeat, but back-to-back Big 12 Conference baseball championships. For the baseball team, offseason doesn't mean taking time off, even in September.
This Saturday, Kansas begins what's known as "fall ball", the intra-squad games played within a team assigned by Kansas Baseball Coach
Price often switches up the teams, primarily to try out various combinations of hitter and pitcher match-ups. Each at-bat is crucial for developing both the hitter and pitcher, especially with the younger Jayhawks.
"We're trying to make improvements in fundamentals, make that leap from being a good high-school player to a good Division-I player," he said.
Ritch Price.
Price said the early-morning routine also provided time for him and his coaching staff to instill a proper work ethic, but the rigorous conditioning ends when fall ball begins.

conditioned at 6:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Mondays and Wednesdays were spent running indoors, with Fridays spent at Memorial Stadium. Then, in the afternoons, it was off to the weight room.
For four weeks, the players
Junior outfielder John Allman was ready for the workouts and is even more pumped for the fall season to start. Allman played in Anchorage, Alaska this past summer.
"I had a lot of fun in Alaska," Allman said. "But now I'm ready to come back and get after it again."
That's exactly what he'll get on Saturday. Although the start of fall ball spares the team its heavy conditioning, the players take on a much bigger time commitment beginning Saturday.
Allman said the team would hit the field at 2:30 and practice for a couple of hours before splitting off into teams assigned by Price. A seven-to-nine inning game follows practice every day.
"I'm most excited about the pitching" he said. The team lost its entire rotation, including national closer of the year Don Czvz.
"There's a method to it all." Allman said. "It's just to prepare guys for spring.Fall is all about getting ready to play."
Last week, Price spent a good deal of time visiting recruits and telling them he looked forward to being back in Lawrence to kick off fall ball.
The players who play a specific position spend time doing what Price called "four-and-ones" during the four weeks of conditioning. Four players meet and work with one member of the coaching staff.
To ensure es-ch player was well rested, Price stopped conditioning
While position players hone their skills, the new pitching staff works to build arm strength, which Price said was the primary reason for the first four weeks of conditioning. He has to be sure his pitchers are ready to meet the demands of everyday scrimmaging.
on Mondays. With the draft and graduation taking almost all of his starters from the previous year, price wants to be sure he's seeing a new crew of players at full strength.
"We had seven guys sign pro contracts this summer, and we lost an All-Big 12 guy in Matt Baty" Price said. "The openings on our roster have not been there the last four years, which should make for a very interesting fall."

note.
The route to Mount Zion, Mo., is scattered with 27 McDonald's restaurants, five Waffle Houses and six fireworks stands (it is Missouri, after all). The town itself resembles nothing more than a neighborhood of about 10 houses, a bible school and a vintage fire engine with a flat tire.
Not many people even know where Mount Zion is. I know this because when I told my friends I was going there for Labor Day weekend, I got blank stares and bunch of,"Why?" responses. I got even more questions when I told them the trip was because I had thrown a dart at a map.
This week, I've recounted the details of all the towns I stopped in during my Dart Trip — from Branson, Mo., to Ava, Mo. Read Jayplay's feature for tips about where to take your own road trip this fall break and Dart Trip rules to live by. Remember, it's about the journey, not the destination.

MADRAS
MADNESS
Two French designers, Jean Toutou and Jessica Ogden, originally created Madras, a light weight cotton that comes in plaid and sometimes striped patterns. The fabric got its name from the former English name (Madras) of Chennai, India, where the fabric is primarily manufactured.
Madras shorts offer a cute preppy look for men. Button-down Madras shirts are also available. For women, Madras patterns can be seen in tops, dresses, skirts and shorts. You can get clothing made from Madras fabric at Nordstrom and Nord Navy.

I'll just use the text as it appears. No alignment or special formatting required.
The image shows three people smiling at the camera, with a dark background that could be interpreted as a night scene. They are closely positioned side by side, and their faces are clearly visible. The person on the left has long hair, the middle person is in the middle of the frame, and the person on the right has shoulder-length hair.
Magic Boyfriend members Patrick Hinshaw, Olathe junior; Brandon Ripley, Lawrence resident; and Andy Gassaway, 2004 graduate.
with MAGIC BOYFRIENDS
Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF MUSIC?
Hinshaw: Iggy Pop meets and makes love to The Beach Boys. Chewbacca results.
Q: HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN BECOMING MUSICIANS?
Hinshaw: I can't speak for Andy and Brandon, but I wouldn't call myself a musician, per se. The word implies a certain level of expertise and maturity that I pride myself on lacking.
Gassaway: Maturity is an anchor that drowns a man.
Ripley: Girls.
Q: WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO START A BAND?
Hinshaw: Andy and Brandon were a twopiece playing for day-old slices of pizza and half smoked cigarettes. I offered my services Now we get free beer. Gasseway: Patrick fakes the seizure, and, while the bartender is distracted, Brandon and I fill up old Folger's cans with PBR. Ripley: Two plus one equals free beer, hence the band.
Q: WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR BAND IN FIVE YEARS?
Gassaway: If not behind bars? Singapore.
Hinshaw: The court date is next Thursday.
though, so Singapore ain't looking too likely.
Ripley: Unless someone out there knows how to counterfeit passports.
Q: WHAT MAKES YOU GUYS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BANDS?
Hinshaw: They are probably good.
Gassaway: But we are fun.
Ripley: And better looking.
Q: HOW OFTEN DO YOU PERFORM? WHERE?
WHHERE?
Hinshaw: Not nearly enough. If Andy would ditch his three jobs and his other far more successful band, The Pomonas.
Gassaway: Which, shameless plug, you should all check out the Pamonas tonight at Liberty Hall, or Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Jazzhaus.
Hinshaw: We like playing anywhere, and we don't charge anything, but we have played at Harbour Lights and the Jazzhaus and once in Andy's house on the Fourth of July.
Gassaway: The fireworks were inside that night.

Outstretched before me are rows of worn wooden posts with vines wrapped around them. I take in the rich, sweet aroma and gaze at the sun reflecting off small, shiny purple blubs that bring life to the brown vines. I close my eyes, take a deep breath and can almost taste the Pinot Grigio. I am not in the produce section at Dillon's, I am at a winery.
I was greeted immediately by C.W. Davenport himself. He and his wife have run the orchard since 1960 and have been selling wine since 1997. Davenport is the epitome of a friendly Midwestern town farmer. He was enthusiastic about telling me about all the hard work it takes to make wine.
I recently embarked on a trip to Orchards Vineyard Winery, 1394 E. 1900 Rd., Eudora. If you head east down 15th Street past Mass Street, and turn right on East 1900 Road, you will find this tucked away paradise.
I knew nothing about how to taste wine, so I was ready to dive in and learn. Davenport first asked me if I prefer white or red wine. After pouring about half an ounce into my glass, I began the process. "First you
need to swirl the wine so that more molecules will jump off the surface and provide a better bouquet," Davenport says. "Bouquet" describes the wine's aroma. I knew I was an amateur immediately, because I could not master the swirl appropriately. It's all in the wrist.
Next, Davenport told me to dive my nose into the glass (but not the wine) and inhale to prepare my taste buds. Then comes the best part. Take a sip of the wine and hold it in your mouth to get the full taste, he says.
"When I'm ready to taste it, I take a big sip and swish it around my mouth and over-all the parts of my tongue to see what flavors I can distinguish," says Melissa Byrd, Cedar Bluffs, Neb., graduate student. Byrd fell in love with wine tasting when she spent a summer in Los Angeles. "I took a trip to Santa Barbara wine country where Sideways was filmed. They have a map of the different places Jack and Miles went in the movie, so I took a couple of days and went on the wine trails up there." Byrd says.
Stephen Reiss, a certified wine educator, teaches another sipping method in Aspen, Colo.
After sipping the wine, he says to hold the wine in your mouth. Then, "Place your lower lip between your teeth, and raise your upper lip. You can now draw air in through your teeth and over the wine," Reiss says. This helps get the full taste, he says.
After tasting the wine, you can determine how much aftertaste or "length" it has. Some people like a lot of length and others don't, Davenport says. After your sip, look at the glass to tell if it has a lot of leg or not. "Leg" describes how much of the wine runs down the sides of the inside of the glass. The volume of alcohol contained in the particular wine determines the amount of leg, so the more alcohol, the more leg.
THE WINE BAR
Betweenwines,you'reusually given a glass of water so you can wash away the taste of the previous wine and get ready to experience the next. Also, determine beforehand, how much wine you want to taste. Be sure to designate a driver if you want to try several.
Not only was my trip to the winery fun,but with every wine
PHOTOS/BETH BREITENSTEIN
I tasted, I got a short history of how it was made and how it got its name. Wine tasting can be a great experience the more you do it, Davenport says. So, do as I did and take a day trip to Davenport's Vineyard. You may just become a wine connoisseur. And who knows? Maybe you'll get the swirling technique down.
Clockwise from top left: Beth Breitenstein admires a bunch of grapes at OrchardsVineyard. After learning how to properly taste it, Breitenstein inhales the aroma of a glass of wine. The vineyard produces a variety of wines.

1 slice lime
In 1941 two men in the spirits business met at a bar in Los Angeles. John Martin, Heublein spirits and food distributor on the east coast, and Jack Morgan, owner of Cock'n Bull bar in Hollywood, invented the drink by mixing Morgan's singer beer with Smirnoff Vodka and lime. It was an attempt to market Morgan's struggling Cock'n Bull ginger beer franchise.
Together they ordered engraved copper mugs. Martin invested in one of the first Polaroid cameras and had bar patrons pose with the copper mug in one hand and a Smirnoff bottle in the other. He would leave one copy of the photo in the bar and take another copy to the

REJUVENATE YOUR RAMEN
by Erika Bentson
Oodies of
Cooks in 3 minu
Use your noodle to fix a healthy snack
What meal takes three minutes to cook, comes in more than 15 flavors, costs 16 cents and tastes delicious? A bowl of ramen noodles.
Quick, easy and cheap meals are a staple of the college lifestyle. But some quick meal options are unhealthy, leaving you with a diet that lacks important nutrients. A common and extremely cheap choice among students is instant ramen noodles, but because they are made primarily of flour, oil and salt, they fit perfectly into the category of unhealthy, especially if you eat them regularly. With a few simple steps you can turn this less-than-wholesome meal into a fine feast.
PHOTO ILLUSTRATION/JARED GAB
Instant ramen noodles are unhealthy because they are high in sodium and low in fiber, says Lynn Dunn, registered dietician and research coordinator for the Energy Balance Lab at the University of Kansas, 1301 Sunnyside Ave. Too much sodium increases your blood pressure, and you need fiber to digest food properly, Dunn says. Keep your sodium intake low for good overall heart health.
The average adult, who eats about 2,000 calories a day, should be getting no more than 2,400 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of fiber and 50 grams of protein each day, according to the Food and Drug Administration's Web site. A package of ramen noodles contains 1800 milligrams of sodium. That's 80 percent of your recommended daily intake of sodium, most of which comes from the seasoning package provided. You can make these popular noodles more nourishing by using only a portion of the seasoning packet that comes with them, Dunn says.
For those of you who love your Cup o' Noodles, you might stick to ramen that comes in a block. It takes a few seconds to put the noodles in the bowl, but you will be able to limit the seasoning and your salt consumption.
To get the fiber that's missing from a package of noodles, add any fresh vegetable you like. All fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber,says Chelsea Curry,registered dietician and project coordinator for the Energy Balance Lab. Try putting the dry noodles on top
of a salad. John St. John, Lenexa
Junior, says he likes the added
crunch to the salad too.
Instant ramen also lacks protein, Dunn says. Mix in lean meat or eat it with the noodles to add more nutritional value. Dunn suggests lean meats like chicken, breast, turkey, shrimp and imitation crab. Terrence Dobbs, Wichita junior, mixes in canned chicken or beef to his ramen noodles and says it's a great meal to eat on-the-go.
broths, low in sodium.
Choose whatever meat you prefer, but make sure its sodium is low, Dunn says. Check the ingredients on the label to see if the meat has added sodium.
You can also add flavor to your ramen without the enclosed seasoning packet. Instead of using water, substitute vegetable soup to cook the noodles, says Ken Shick, manager at General Nutrition Center, 400 S.W. 29th St., Topeka. Most large retailers sell organic vegetable soups and
Because 12 servings of ramen only cost $2, you might be concerned that adding extra ingredients will up the cost of your meal. But vegetables are cheap, and you can buy cans of tuna, chicken or beef for under a dollar.
The next time you stack your cart full of ramen, throw in some veggies and a can of soup to make it more healthy. Your body will thank you later.
Put some un-cooked ramen on your salad to add crunch to your meal.

LIVING WITH A GUEST
PEOPLE
by Frank Tankard
>
Abby Boone can't keep a roommate,and she has to clean up after them all the time. But she doesn't mind too much.
She has her apartment just how she wants it. A flower sits in a vase in the middle of a white table. There's a TV, a couch, a bed, some art on the walls and clean, white countertops. It has one bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, a washer and dryer and lots of pictures of her fiancé.
"it's small," she says, "but I like it."
Abby Boone, Great Bend senior, lives in a pretty typical one-person college apartment, except for two things: who lives next to her, and who lives above her.
Boone lives in the basement of the University of Kansas guest house, a stone cottage with a red roof in the shadow of
The Outlook, the white mansion on the east side of campus where Chancellor Robert Hemenway — and the chancellors before him — lives. Above Boone's ceiling, visiting dignitaries, Nobel Prize winners, entertainers, writers and other guests of the University have slept.
This is just her first semester as the house's
quests' needs.
Boone washes the guest's laundry, takes out the trash, sweeps, dusts and scrubs the toilet. Every Saturday she does a deep cleaning. The caretaker no longer has to cook, but Boone does keep the place stocked with breakfast food. She gets free rent and $8 an hour while she's working, plus $1 an hour while she's on call, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. There's always the possibility of a guest calling in need of someone to clean up a spill or a ride to the drug store.
caretaker, but she is the latest in a long line of them. The guest house was commissioned in the 1930s because the chancellor's guests (and sometimes their attendants) were taking up too much space in The Outlook. During World War II, the guest house was home to a couple of faculty members during a housing shortage. In 1952, it was remodeled and the caretaker was added to clean the house, cook breakfast and attend to the

the chancellor, who has overseen the guest house for about 10 years.
But mostly, Boone's schedule is like it was before she applied for the gig last semester. During the day she goes to class to finish her exercise science degree and sits at a desk in the chancellor's office, where she's worked on two-and-a-half years
as a student assistant.Her fiancé comes over on the weekends.
"He doesn't keep me. awake at night," she says, laughing. "He's pretty quiet."
"It's nice to have my own space," she says, "not to have to share with someone." Except, of course, for the man upstairs. She has only had one guest so far, who has lived there since August and hasn't asked for anything. And the man next door?

dart trippin'
It's about the journey, not the destination
From top, Carolyn Tharp poses with the Mount Zion Mo. Sign Tharp, with boyfriend Jason Shaad, 2006 graduate in Branson, Mo. Tharp stands in front of a heifer marquee board in Joo-lin Mo. Shaad with a bovine statue in Pittsburg
It's Thursday night, and my boyfriend has a black t-shirt wrapped around his eyes like a blindfold. I spin him around three times — the way kids do at birthday parties before hitting the piñata — and position him facing the map of Missouri that we've taped to the wall. He takes his first shot. The dart misses the Show-Me State altogether, hitting the map's index that Rand McNally so nicely provides. I retrieve the dart and reposition him."Aim more toward your left," I say. He shoots again, this time barely missing Missouri and hitting the only inch of Kansas shown on the map. I pick up the dart, put it in his hand, get out of the way. He fires again. This time the dart sticks, right in Mount Zion — just southwest of Springfield, Mo., close to Arkansas.
a weekend road trip. The catch? We had to determine the location by throwing a dart.
Jason and I had the idea of a dart trip a month ago. We love to travel and spend time together, so the two of us planned to take
Looking for something to do for fall break or even just a weekend? Grab your best friends and toss a dart at a map of any state — or, if you're really ambitious and have more time, a map of the entire U.S. — and hit the road.
Jason and I negotiated where we would go. I refused to go anywhere in Iowa
DART TRIP (SEMI-OFFICIAL) RULES
(too boring) or Kansas (too flat), Jason nixed Oklahoma and the Texas, panhandle (too far). We settled on Missouri, and I brought home a road map. Laying it out on the kitchen floor, Jason and I looked at all the terrain in the area. We decided to keep the trip as inexpensive as possible and camp, so we looked at rivers, state parks and the Mark Twain National Forest that stretches across Missouri.
take the smaller, scenic highways and avoid the busy interstates. We couldn't eat anywhere we'd ever heard of. We had to stop whenever I wanted to take a picture (I tend to take a lot). And we couldn't make any plans, except to get to Mount Zion — somehow.
Pittsburg
1. Can't eat anywhere you've ever heard of. This lets you experience all the greasy spoon, Mom and Pop kind of restaurants.
We left on Saturday morning in Jason's red Jeep Cherokee, singing along to everything on my iPod from Clara to Broadway musicals. By noon, we decided to stop in Pittsburg. A giant heifer statue next to a real estate office greeted us. We got out of the car and examined the massive bovine idol. It was larger than one of those hideous Hummers, with a marquee board on its side advertising a Rock'n Roll Cycle and Car Show, Including a Blessing of the Bikes. For the next 10 minutes Jason and I snapped photos of us with the giant cow, trying to climb
3. Don't have an agenda. The key is spontaneity. Stop whenever you want to take a picture, smell a flower or check out a flea market.
2. Stick to the back roads. They're much more scenic than the main interstates, and you'll see more small towns. They have the most character.
We set rules too. We had to

on it and posing like it was kissing us. Cars zoomed by, and the drivers probably thought we were nuts, but who wouldn't stop for a heifer that big? I don't quite know why a real estate office would need something like this. I gues anyone would want an oversized bovine for a sign.
Pittsburg celebrates Little Balkans Days during Labor Day weekend, as was marked by the banners hanging from the street lamps. A band on a giant stage at the end of the blocked-off street played a cover of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi," which sounded more like a rendition of Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer's Saturday Night Live "The Culps" sketch, complete with off-key, quivering vocals.
Booths lined the road, selling
homemade ice cream, children's train rides and wooden crafts. Carnival games were scattered around the block, including a haunted house, pony rides and a large inflatable slide that resembled a NASA rocket. A little girl walked by with a puppet that looked like her very own puppy, and she took good care to make it walk next to her like a real dog. Jason and I visited the chill cook-off, which started that morning and went on until 2 p.m. Participants decked their tents with colorful fabrics of chili peppers and donned flashy aprons. Because I'm a vegetarian and all the chill had some sort of animal in it, we decided to eat the food we'd packed. We moved on to the vintage car show, where the hoods were open so you could check out the massive engines. One hot rod, sported orange and yellow flames along its black body, and a skull smiled at us from the gearshift. After a bag of homemade kettle corn and some stale nachos, we decided to get back on the road.
Joplin, Mo.
We took old Route 66 east, hoping to find a '50s-style diner. There were none, unfortunately, crushing my hopes of being served a chocolate malt from a lady in a pink poodle skirt. I was pleasantly surprised, however, as we pulled into Joplin, Mo., and saw our second giant heifer statue. Just like the first one, this was enormous but it was a darker shade of brown and advertised Joplin's Best Country Party.
We stopped for lunch at a quiet park filled with fountains. Jooplin was a nice contrast to the busy Pittsburg streets. We sat peacefully in the park, unpacking the squeezeable peanut butter that had awed us into buying it at the grocery store so much that we had to buy it.
We picnicked on a bench by a large circular fountain, wider than the Chi Omega but not as tall. Sculptures of children who looked like cherubs were poised in the center of the fountain and coins gleaned from the bottom. I told Jason about the Trevi fountain in Rome and how I had thrown a coin into it promising me a return trip
to the city. "Let's do that for Joplin," he said. He dug in his pockets and found some pennies, and we threw them over our shoulders and into the fountain. I guess we're going back to Joplin someday.
Branson, Mo.
We needed to find a place to camp for the night, especially before it got dark, and Jason suggested just outside of Branson, Mo., because it was on the edge of the Mark Twain National forest, near Lake Taneycomo and had a state park. On the way to Branson we passed the Kel-Lake Motel, where each room had its own rocking chair outside the door, and the Springfield Denture Center. Around 5 p.m. we pulled into beautiful Branson and stopped at an information center on the edge of town. The man at the counter couldn't be a day under 80, and he tried to sell us tickets to shows like Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede, ostrich races and Tony Roi's Elvis Experience. We politely declined but accepted a free map and rolled into downtown Branson.
A newly developed shopping district was situated along the river, and as we parked our Jeep we heard Van Morrison's "Moondance" ringing in the air. "Oh, it gotta be good if they're playing Van Morrison," I said. We walked through the pedestrian zone that was lined with stores and resembled an outdoor shopping mall. Jason and I bought warm soft pretzels and took them down to the river to try to escape the crowd. We ate on the bank of the river, then headed to the Compton Ridge campgrounds.
We set up our tent and unpacked our stuff at campsite 124, which cost $23 a night, but had a swimming pool and indoor showers. Jason's more outdoor-savvy that I am, so he built the campfire — with only one match. We feasted on veggie burgers and hot dogs and told stories of high school bonfires as it got dark.
2m
On Sunday morning we hiked the neighboring trails up to Susie's Lookout and got a view of a nearby valley and treetops. After our trek, we decided to go out to eat at the Belgian Waffle and Pancake House that we had seen in town the day

before. We hadn't eaten out yet and thought waffles would be a nice treat, plus the restaurant fit into the rule of eating places we've never heard of before. Unfortunately, some smaller restaurants haven't bought into the novel idea of debit cards, so Jason and I had to scrape together cash, literally pulling crumpled up bills out of our pockets — we ate on $15.
It was a good thing we were well fed because for the next hour we were stuck in miles of Branson traffic. I haven't seen roads so congested since I was driving back from Texas on the
day of a big Nascar race. Driving down highway 76, Branson's main drag, we passed signs for Kirby the Magical Unicorn and a rendition of Mount Rushmore but with Elvis's face on it.The line of cars inched forward, and we started playing Christmas Carols from my iPod, just because we had listened to everything else. Outside of Jason's window we could hear duck calls from a tour guide that drives around in what looks like a boat.Everyone had noisemakers that looked like yellow duckbills and was quacking with them.Crowds of people walked along the

sidewalks, probably headed to one of the cheesy shows or the Branson Mall.
"Hey, I'm 22, and I do love Branson,"I said.
I loved Branson even more as we were slowly driving forward and spotted another — yes, another — giant bovine statue. This one was up on pillars, and its marquee advertised Rudy the Roll Tosser. I made Jason get out of the traffic for a moment so we could pull over and take
some more pictures of this giant cow wonder. It took us a while for anyone to let us back onto Highway 76, but it was worth it for another snapshot of the huge helper to add to our collection.
Mount Zion, Mo.
We made it out of Branson and headed straight toward Mount Zion, Mo. We started to get anxious about the town, wondering what it would look like and what there was to do. "We should stop and get something to eat or maybe a root beer," I said. Jason pointed out that the town may be just a
cluster of houses and not have any restaurants or places to stop and that's exactly what Mount Zion was.
At about 2:30 p.m., we pulled into Mount Zion. The town was along a two-lane highway with no shoulder, so we just stopped in the right-hand lane. We got out and snapped pictures, talking to a brown horse that neighed loudly as we disturbed the town's silence. We walked around for about 20 minutes, remaining parked in the middle of the road. No one drove by. We didn't see a soul except for a lazy cat lounging on a maroon
minivan.
Mount Zion might not have been the flashiest place to visit for our three-day weekend — it's surely no Las Vegas or New York City. But even though we slept on the ground instead of a five star hotel, the trip gave us a chance to see new places and spend some time together. I now know that Jason was voted "best hair" in high school. All in all, we spent about $100 between the two of us, including gas. And what about getting chance to see three giant heifer statues in two days? That's priceless.

UNPRINTED WARNING
by Rachel Parker
While soft drinks might be convenient for their caffeine and taste, they're hacking away at our health.
Marlboro cartons and Jack Daniels bottles warn that they contain dangerous ingredients. A growing body of evidence shows that soda cans may need to display warnings too.
Recent studies at universities and by nutrition organizations such as Focus Nutrition, LLC, found a correlation between soft drinks and obesity and malnutrition that could make you think twice about feeding another dollar into a campus vending machine.
On average, a person in the U.S. consumes more than 52 gallons of carbonated soft drinks per year. There are about 450 types of soft drinks on the market, according to a 2004 poll by the American Beverage Association.
Of these consumers, those ages 19-39 drink
Spencer Knoll, Topeka sophomore, says he wouldn't drink as much pop if it weren't such a convenient mixer for alcohol. The taste of pop is a useful cover-up for the strength of hard liquor, and the caffeine in soft drinks is appealing to students who need a boost.

Soft drinks have absolutely no nutritional value, says Ann Chapman, registered dietician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, 1200 Schwegler Drive."They are definitely a contributing factor to the weight gain of college students," she says. The calories from these beverages aren't as satisfying and satiating as the same amount of calories from foods, so you can still feel hungry after chugging a soda, she says.

She also recomends drinking a latte to get the milk intake.She says that scientists are predicting an osteoporosis epidemic in 20 to 30 years because of the lack of
Not only are soft drinks high in calories, they also contain high fructose corn syrup, which replaced table sugar in 1980.
Men's and women's body mass index increased significantly when consuming soda in comparison to eating the same amount of sweetened jelly beans, according to a 2000 study by the Department of Foods and Nutrition.
milk in diets, and that a person only has until his mid 20s to build stronger bones through calcium intake.
Colin Weber, Lenexa sophomore, used to drink a pop a day. He says he stopped drinking soft drinks after he read an article about Bill Clinton's efforts to pull the liquid
candy from schools in the May issue of Time magazine."It has unnecessary sugars for the body,"he says.
The William J. Clinton foundation, the American Heart Association, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and Cadbury Schweppes teamed up to replace vending machine fare in schools with water, milk unsweetened juices and sugar-free sodas in May, says the Time article, "How Bill Put the Fizz in the Fight Behind Fat."
Even if soft drinks are convenient for the hectic and social lifestyles of college students, substituting something with less sugar and more vitamins and minerals could have a positive effect on your health. So next time you head for a Coke, remember the warning that should be printed on the can.
Advertisements play a big role to feed the soft drink problem. "There's a lot more exposure of pop in the media these days," Weber says. Famous commercials, flashy magazine ads and bright billboards attract consumers even more.
Should soda cans carry a warning?

SUGARS IN THIS BEVERAGE MAY

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PLUTO BEING DEMOTED?
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE GAME TO PLAY AS A CHILD?
IF YOU HAD A DIFFERENT NAME, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
WHAT PERSONAL PHRASE DO YOU LIVE BY?
WHOWOULD PLAY YOU IN THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE?
To have the title of planet taken away from you after so many years must be devastating.
I loved all the games we used to play. I loved Memory as a kid, but I was always cheating and marking the back of pieces.
Not sure if I would have a different name. I was always pretty proud to have an unusual name. My parents claimed it was because they knew I would be unusual, but I think it was just a fluke.
I have many, but the one I think I remind myself the most is "Never want for more than you are willing to work for it."
I would say Jessica Alba. I would have to give her pointers, not to mention it would be a great feat for her to pull off playing me.
A Dave Matthews Band lyric: "Whatever tears at us, whatever holds us down and if nothing can be done, we'll make the best of what's around."
Julia Roberts because then my life story would be a box office hit.
Girl 1: I don’t usually gossip, but I’m going to gossip now...so, she comes into my room, and she’s like, “I really like my roommates, except when they’re mean.” (Pause.) I dunno, I guess I’m just not a sympathetic person.
Girl 2: I know what you mean. (Pause.)
Girl 1: OK, I gonna go to class.
Guy: (singing along to his iPod) Bitches ain’t shit when I hit the clubs lit.
Girl: (Looking at a bag of Sun Chips) Are you really going to eat that?
Guy: Yeah. Look here, it says “smart choice” right here on the package.
Girl: Yeah, a smart choice if you wanna get a fat ass.
Girl 1: How many chucks would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Guy 2: What’s a woodchuck?

P. K. S. S. M. B. A. H. J. K. M. N.
I RECENTLY GOT INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A GREAT GUY, AND I REALLY LIKE HIM. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HE IS A VIRGIN AND I AM NOT, AND HE SAYS HE COULD NEVER HAVE SEX WITH ME BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T BE MY FIRST. ON SEX AND THE CITY, CHARLOTTE SAYS THAT IF YOU GO WITHOUT SEX FOR A YEAR YOU ARE A VIRGIN AGAIN. IS THIS TRUE? AM I REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR BEFORE HE'LL NAIL ME? ANY ADVICE TO MAKE ME REBORN AGAIN? — JILLIAN. JUNIOR
Chris: You're trying to get sex advice from an episode of Sex and the City? Hold on, let me wipe the vomit off my keyboard, because that's how disgusted I am with you. And from Charlotte of all the characters? She makes Forrest Gump look like a walking, talking Stephen Hawking. Sorry, but one year without sex won't take away what you did, over and over, in front of his friends, during your Cancun spring break adventure, and it definitely won't take away the herpes he left you as a parting gift, or the video he kept for himself. This guy is looking for a chaste, respectable girl, not someone who collects wisdom
from a crappy HBO series about superficial women trying to act like superficial men. And besides, why take the time to break in a newbie when I have a swimming pool that you can't get pregnant in?
Niloofar: He might be upset, but if this kid's a virgin, he wants to get laid, so I'm sure he'll make some allowances. Especially if you make him wait. Closing up shop for a year won't exactly change your status to "revirginized," but it might change his to "energized, frisky, horny... dare I say desperate? Before you know it, he'll be nailing you like a hammer. But.
If he's at the point where even his testosterone isn't overriding his thoughts, then make sure you reassure him with the standard "It's in the past. I didn't know you then," and "I can't change what happened, but it doesn't change how I feel about you." If he can't get over the fact you've been laid before, then this relationship is going to end. Either he's going to leave you, or you're going to leave him. But don't worry, there are plenty of guys out there who can accept that while they may not be the first to conquer your territory, they might as well be the last...or at least the best.
I'VE BEEN FRIENDS WITH THIS GIRL FOR A WHILE, AND NOW I WANT TO BE MORE THAN FRIENDS WITH HER. I'D LIKE TO ASK HER OUT ON A DATE, BUT I'M AFRAID THAT SHE DOESN'T FEEL THE SAME WAY, AND IT COULD SCREW UP THE FRIENDSHIP. SHOULD I KEEP PLAYING IT COOL, OR DO I NEED TO PUT MY BALLS OUT THERE AND TELL HER HOW I FEEL?
—JEREMY, SOPHOMORE
Chris: I don't know Jeremy, do you want to feel the sharp, stabbing pain of humiliation and rejection today, or the dull ache of regret for the next five years? If you "tell her how you feel" and ask her out, she'll likely turn you down and begin avoiding you. However, if you refrain from being a man and asking her out, you'll have to watch her date some toolbox who actually had the stones to take her to dinner. Worse, then she'll want to talk to you about him, because "you're like a brother to me." And unless this girl is from Missouri, it's unlikely she'll ever want to hook up with her brother. Then you become a bitter old schmuck who writes a crappy relationship
Niloofar: On behalf of every girl, I must shout in all caps,
"PUT YOUR BALLS OUT THERE!"
You, my friend, possess a pair.
So use them well. That means you tell her how you feel, plain and simple. Now don't go Romeo on her. This should not
include sonnets, no "Allow me to express my feelings through song," no interpretive dance, no overdone mush. The truth is, if she likes you, you won't need it. If she doesn't, that's when she'll start to feel sick inside. But if you're honest and direct and you "Nike it" (as in "Just do it") then one of two things will happen: 1) She will say ever so sweetly "Aww, I'm really flattered, but I just don't feel that way about you. I never want to lose you as a friend, though." And she'll mean it. 2) She'll be beside herself with joy. If this happens, feel free to proceed with the poems and songs. Either way, you lose nothing. Not even your balls.
advice column for no pay.Trust me, you don't want that. Better to have your heart torn open, crapped into and shoved back inside, than to spend every night wondering what exotic new positions she and Frat Boy #7 are trying out. Oh yeah, and there's always the chance she'll actually take up your offer for a date. But I can't help you with that.

Built to Spill
MUSIC
RUSH
Even though Built to Spill comes through Lawrence regularly, the band had no difficulty selling out two shows at the Bottleneck last week. Why? Variety.
Built to Spill has the remarkable ability to make every tour feel like a completely new show. It could be because the band has a seemingly endless catalogue, or maybe because it can stretch a three-minute song into a 17-minute mini-album. Whatever the reason, a Built to Spill show is as close as it gets to a sure thing.
On Sept. 19 the band emphasized its new material, playing songs from You In Reverse, the group's first new album in five years. While the new songs were well received, most of the crowd's love went to the classics like "Big Dipper."
Frontman Doug Martsch looked detached and reserved throughout the evening, addressing the crowd only to say "thanks" after each song and introduce "Rearrange," a cover of a song done by the Gladiators that echoed John
F. Kennedy's famous "Ask not what your country can do for you..." speech.
It wasn't Built to Spill's only political statement, as the band interspersed video clips into "Bomb Shelter." The clips were of musician and record-label owner Calvin Johnson criticizing the right-wing policy towards eco-terrorism.
The rest of the evening the video projector provided a slideshow of artwork that
livened up the wall behind the band.
To finish the night, Built to Spill played extended versions of "Untrustable" and "Broken Chairs." Martsch and company turned "Broken Chairs" into a 17-minute-long musical adventure, climbing peak after peak, each one seeming to be the loudest and most energetic.
Performing a song for that long did make it difficult for
the band to play lots of songs, and people who were looking for the band to play through its discography would have left disappointed.
However, it appeared that the majority of the crowd was repeat customers. Those fans got just what they were looking for: a solid set from a band that continues to innovate musically.
Built to Spill setlist: Sept. 19, the Bottleneck
1) Randy Described Eternity
2) Dystopian Dream Mind
3) Else
4) Will Work for Food
5) The Plan

Welcome to the Drama Club
MUSIC
Everclear
Everclear is still around? Yeah, I guess so, and this is its new album.
After losing two members and adding four, Everclear is back with Welcome to the Drama Club, an album that is pretty much forgettable.
BABYLAND
It does have a few good songs such as "Now" and "The Drama King," but you can't help but think you've heard these same songs a thousand times from several different bands. Take "Now," for instance. While listening to it, you might think you accidentally put in a John Mellencamp album, and "The Drama King" brings to mind Everclear's '90s hit "Father of Mine."
The album has a few embarrassingly cheesy songs — the kind your 9-year-old sister would even laugh at — such as "Shine," a song that should be buried in a Sugar Ray b-sides collection, and "A Shameless Use
of Charm", a song that starts with singer Art Alexakis laughing, which proves it's even laugable to the lead singer.
The best way to describe
Welcome to the Drama Club is "OK
at times". The songs are all right,
but lack originality. You might as
well stick to Everclear's So Much
for the Afterflow.
Everclear will be at the Granada on Sept.28.

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
Amy Brennan
Finding something to believe in doesn't always mean finding a religion. by Rikki Kite
Rikki, Kite at Sun Studio in
Memphis, Tenn.
I'm confused about religion. I sometimes wish I could pick one to follow, but I just can't make myself believe in any of them. I was raised Presbyterian, but by the time I entered junior high school my mother was confused about religion too. We quit going to church, and she converted to not believing in anything specific. She wouldn't even call herself an atheist because that meant she believed something, even if that something was nothing.
At first I struggled with my non-belief system. I felt so guilty that one roommate suggested that I'd make a good Catholic. I was uncomfortable with all the rules and saints and Sunday Masses, so it was clear that Catholicism wasn't for me. Eventually, I began to wonder why anyone needed a religion at all. I let the idea of karma and living by the Golden Rule help direct my life, and it worked...for a while.
Then my daughter Cleo was born. I was suddenly panicstricken. Religion made sense for the first time; I needed to know that everything would be OK. I needed to know that no matter what, Cleo would be safe. I wanted a rule book — like the Bible — to follow, and I wanted to give Cleo the experiences I'd had as a child: Sunday school, Christmas carols and new Easter bonnets with matching white lace gloves.
I tried to find a new religion that fit better. I looked into Buddhism and appreciated what I read about it, but my trip to the Zen Center made me feel like a visitor in a foreign land, surrounded by a chanting language I would never understand. My Krishna friends invited me to their Sunday dinners, and I dragged Cleo along with me. She played with the children while I sat on the floor in the temple, eyes watering from the burning incense filling the room, and pretended to read what the people around me were chanting. Cleo and I loved the vegetarian feasts that followed, but I was uncomfortable with the ceremony and chanting and admitted to my friends that I still wasn't buying into Krishna consciousness.
life. She cried when my brother rebelled in high school. "Your brother has become a Baptist!" she sobbed as we talked on the phone. I tried to comfort her, telling her that at least he wasn't having pre-marital sex or getting drunk, my rebellious behavior that she had found almost as upsetting as his religious conversion.
My mother was no help. She'd become less tolerant of any talk of religious beliefs. She'd cut the Born Again Christians in our family -completely- out-of-her
When I was 33, my mother became ill. Mom had actually been sickly since I was in high school and was diagnosed with an array of allments — depression, bi-polar disorder, fibromyalgia, arthritis, rare blood disorders, thyroid problems and more. Mom took a turn for the worse and spent a couple of weeks in the hospital as the doctors performed test after test, frantically trying to determine what was wrong with her. Her pain was excruciating, and it was clear to us, her family, that she was dying. We took her home to care for her while we waited for her diagnosis, which wouldn't come until after she had died of two rare cancers.
Those last days of her life, I saw my mother's struggle with her beliefs, or lack thereof. She knew she was dying, but she didn't know what that meant. What happens after we die? She allowed my aunt to pray for her, next to her hospital bed in our living room. She let my youngest sister read pamphlets that hospital clergy distributed. And in my mother's opium haze, she whimpered and asked for us to "make him go away." "Make who go away?" I asked her.
"Lucifer,"she answered,before drifting back to sleep.
A couple of days later she died in our living room with me, my brother, my stepfather, and my aunt around her. We stroked her hair and held her hands and told her that it was OK to go, that we'd be with her."Where will you be?" she asked my stepfather. "Right here, in your heart," he answered. Her face relaxed, and she was gone.
My aunt prayed under her breath, and despite my grief, I was relieved that my mother was no longer in pain. I still had no idea where she went. My aunt will tell you that my mother was born again before she died. She will tell you that my mother accepted Jesus, or did the hokey pokey, or whatever it took to save her soul and land-in heaven.
I don't think that happened. Instead, I think my mother left this world with a sense of peace because she was surrounded by her family — in all our various forms of belief and disbelief — telling her that we loved her, we'd take care of each other, and it would all be OK. She died without the knowledge that she'd end up with a harp and angel wings in heaven. Instead, she passed away knowing that she was loved and that her four children and her granddaughter would miss her, but part of her would continue to live within each of us.
Even though her death didn't bring me clarity in a religious
sense, it taught me something else that I think is equally important — when you die, the only thing you get to take with you is the experience you had while you were alive. It doesn't matter whether you die as a Hare Krishna, Protestant, Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim or atheist. You don't take the church, the incense or religious texts into whatever happens next. Instead, you get to take with you the memories of the Sunday dinners, chants, friends or the hokey pokey.
Last semester, I had the opportunity to take a road trip to Memphis and watch an album get recorded at Sun Studio:A big part of me thought
I should stay home and catch up on my homework. The rest of me won the internal debate when I pictured myself on my deathbed, looking back on the life I'd led. I realized that as the images of my life passed before me, I wouldn't be thinking about grad school, and I wouldn't care about the grade I made in Research Methods. I imagined myself regretting that I'd never made it to Graceland or stood in the sound booth at Sun Studio, touched the piano keys that Jerry Lee Lewis played, or gripped the microphone that Elvis held. I may never find a religion that fits me, but at least I ended up with something to believe in.

OK, so it's not quite the 36-game streak that Nebraska has built up, but it is a start.
"All they can do is scream, holler and cheer," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. "They're not allowed to do anything else."
On Saturday night Kansas travels to Lincoln,Neb.,to open the Big 12 season in front of more than 80,000 Nebraska fans — almost double the largest crowd Kansas has seen this season.
The game will kick off at 6 p.m. and be televised regionally on Fox Sports Net.
Kansas fans looking to make the trek to Nebraska shouldn't count on finding tickets: Nebraska's Memorial Stadium will be sold out for the 279th cohSECutive game.
Kansas received an allotment of more than 3,000 tickets, but only about 2,000 were sold. The rest were returned to Nebraska.
The Cornhusker offense is currently the best in the Big 12 at scoring points, and last weekend Nebraska rolled over Troy 56-0 while Kansas squeaked by with a 13-7 victory against South Florida.

Living with parents provides students comfort, challenge for independence
Michael Phillips
BY MATT ELDER
As thousands of students flocked to the campus hills celebrating their newly acquired independence away from their parents, there were many others who continued to live at home.
Michael Brock, Lawrence freshman, lives with his parents while he attends the University of Kansas, and said he enjoyed the same freedoms as students who lived outside of their parents' household.
"They're pretty lenient," Brock said. "They've trusted me to come this far in life, so it's my turn to make the responsible choices."
Brock said that living at home offered him a freshman year with less stress. There, he can focus solely on his schoolwork rather than a new community or setting that would surround him if he were living on campus. He can enjoy the comforts of home, in particular, a
home-cooked meal with his family.
John Wade, licensed psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said that CAPS saw numerous cases of homesickness from students new to the University every semester. As a preventive measure, he said there was a strong need for students new to campus to make social connections early within their college careers.
"One of the most important things with dealing with distress is social support," Wade said. "Because missing home, friends and family is to be expected."
But there's no homesickness when living at home. For Brock, a familiar face is always around the corner. He said that his social life had hardly changed since his enrollment at the University, because he has managed to keep many of his old friends and family nearby.
But Wade also suggests that the independence a student acquires in
college can be a challenge to obtain if the environment in which they live hasn't changed since their years in high school.
"In some sense living at the University is regarded as a sort of independence," he said. "And with that physical marker, more intentional steps would have to be taken with a student living at home."
Nichole Reiske, Lawrence sophomore, transferred to the University this semester after living on her own in Indiana last year. After moving back into her parents' house, she said she's felt a loss of independence.
Reiske does appreciate the time she again has with her family; however, after a year of living on her own, Reiske may be regressing from the physical marker Wade discussed
"When you're in high school, you'd check in with your parents and tell them where you were going." Reiske said. "I feel like I have to do that again."
by living with her parents.
She said she was thankful for their continual support, but worried that her desire for independence would grow quicker than her parents' acceptance of it.
Wade said that students living with their parents need to discuss ways for them to become more independent throughout their years at the University. By doing so, they will obtain the more "typical college experiences" students not living under the same roof as their parents have. He said that the most successful living environments would be reached when the student and parents agreed on the manner in which the student would obtain these independent experiences.

》 ACTIVISM
A recent report from the Coalition for International Justice estimated that almost 400,000 people have died in Darfur since a conflict erupted out of political tensions three years ago. The genocide started after Arabs and African clashed over Darfur's natural resources. A government-backed, Arab group called Janjaweed has been attacking and destroying villages in Darfur since then.
"Darfur needs attention right now," McCall said. "A lot of things there remain unreported. There is name recognition, but beyond that I don't think a lot of people realize the tragedy that is going on there."
Bo McCall, guitarist and backup singer for Kansas City-based Distance to Empty, said his band wanted to play at "Dar4Life" to raise awareness among students.
Tickets for "DarlLife" cost $12, with all the money going to Sudan aid programs. The benefit concerts are the culmination of the desire of University student groups to take action on the genocide and human rights violations in Sudan.
Though thousands of miles away, the genocide has ignited student passions. Mark Skoglund, a member of Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian Threats and Olathe sophomore, will be at the benefit concert Saturday, bopping his head to the band music with the issue of Darfur close to his heart.
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
More than 11 bands will play throughout the day at "Dar4Life" at Burcham Park, 2nd and Indiana Streets, to help raise funds for aid programs in Darfur, Sudan. The benefit concert is the second this week in Lawrence. Amnesty International at the University of Kansas, along with Big Deal Productions in Kansas City, presented a concert last night at Liberty Hall called "Stand Up And Shout," featuring the band Pomeroy.

we should be aware of and take action on," Skoglund said.
Jessie Funk, KU Amnesty International officer and Manhattan senior, said even though the fighting in Darfur had been going on for almost three years, the area still needed support.
"It will be a good chance to show Lawrence that we aren't just about playing shows at bars," Vinduska said. "We can show them we can give back and cast more of a positive light."
"There are still many, many refugees and misplaced people who are still feeling the effects of what is going on daily," Funk said. "We all need to be aware when human rights violations are taking place, and we need to take action to prevent these atrocities."
Joe Vinduska, member of Lawrence-based band Censura, said his band would use "Dar4Life" to play new material. He said he thought the event would help to rally the bands playing around a crucial cause.
Besides raising money, organizations will also pass out educational materials about the crisis.

Ryan Weber of Indianapolis, Delta Tau Delta chapter leadership consultant, leads the fraternity's first new pledges in five years into the Malott Room in the Kansas Union to take an oath of loyalty. Weber, a Kansas State University graduate, led Delta Tau Delta's Kansas expansion team, which recruited men on the University of Kansas campus throughout September. The fraternity, active at the University from 1914 to 2001, is returning after a five-year hiatus, having closed because of low membership and financial difficulties.

Revitalized fraternity adds members
Expansion team encourages 'founding father class' to look toward future
BY MATT ELDER
The Delta Tau Delta expansion team welcomed 41 new members to the re-established fraternity Monday night during its formal pledging ceremony at the Malott Room in the Kansas Union.
After disappearing from the Kansas campus in 2001 from a decline in members, the fraternity again found its feet after the national organization sent an expansion team to campus Sept. 1.
Delta Tau Delta had high expectations of the student population when
Nick Goldsberry, Delta Tau Delta director of expansion, said the response from KU students interested in the fraternity was extremely positive.
being introduced to the Lawrence campus.
After several weeks of interviews, Goldsberry is excited about the group selected as the "founding father class."
"There really was a great group on the Kansas campus that was focused on academics, service, and leadership," he said. "A lot of very high-quality men."
At the top of this "founding father class" was Eric Froese, Shawnee junior, the KU Delta Tau Delta colony president chosen by the expansion team and alumni-advising team.
Alongside other officers, Froese will be responsible for the next 18 months of the fraternity's success. At the top of his list will be
the colony's acceptance from the national organization as a recognized chapter.
After expressing interest in members of the Lawrence population who have achieved both academically and within their community, the expansion team's efforts have not gone unnoticed.
"In terms of everything I've seen thus far, I feel that they've been the most on the ball" in terms of marketing and P.R. that they've done," said Laura Bauer, program director of fraternity and sorority life.
Now with members chosen, Delta Tau Delta will begin making decisions for the fraternity's future. An alumni-advising team will oversee a colony retreat this Saturday, where new members will be expected to
spend up to eight hours making decisions on the fraternity's constitution, mission statement and goals.
"They'll do the big-picture things," said Ryan Weber, Kansas expansion team and chapter leadership consultant. "We'll set the boundaries, but they'll make the decisions about how it is going to be at KU."
Within the next eight weeks, Goldsberry said members would go through a "colony active ceremony." He likens the event to an initiation ceremony of fraternities.

The borough turned off the water to the Silhouette Showbar on Monday, with more than $700 owing on its water bill, and the building cannot be occupied without water, Borough Manager Daniel Stonehouse said.
Stonehouse said the action concerning the pending water bill is unrelated to the borough's legal efforts to shut down the bar's Club Kama Sutra, which has been offering Saturday night sex parties.

It took three months to get the animal to hold a paint brush and touch the bristles to paper.

HOMECOMING WEEK

Traditions make comeback Competitions, performances top list of week-long events
BY BEN SMITH
KU Homecoming 2006 kicks off Saturday and promises a chance for a week-long friendly competition between 18 to 20 campus organizations.
In the last six years, the homecoming committee has built up a series of events. There will be a week-long medallion hunt, mural competitions, a spirit run, float competitions in the annual homecoming day parade, the 'Can'struction competition and many others.
Jennifer Denny, Plano, Texas, senior and co-director of the homecoming committee, said the homecoming tradition dated back to 1912 and had become a large to-do in the last few years since Dean Richard Johnson revived the committee in 2000.
"There were definitely times when homecoming was a big
deal," Denny said, citing the periods during the Vietnam conflict and the mid-1990s as examples.
With 16 members working through the summer on the events, Denny said, the tradition had grown strong again.
Each homecoming event is assigned points for participation with additional points given to the top three finalists. At the end of the week, each of the groups' points are tallied up to determine the overall winner, which will be announced Oct. 7 in Memorial Stadium at the football game against Texas A&M.
Some of the week's big events include a special performance Tuesday at the Lied Center by comedian Kathy Griffin, a 5K spirit run and a new jayhawk Idol competition, which will take place throughout the week. The winners will sing the national anthem at men's and women's basketball games.
Devin Mirfasihi, Leawood sopho
more, and his group representing Phi Kappa Tau, are ready to have some fun in the spirit games planned throughout next week.
"We're in it to win," Mirfasi said.
"If you're not first, you last."
"That gets to show off all the organizations," Harrell said. "It's something I always look forward to"
Tiffany Harrell, Overland Park sophomore and daily events chair, said that though she thought all the activities were equally important, she was looking forward to the parade.

Students entertain children during play Theatre group performs Homer's Odyssey for junior high schoolers
ARTS

Audience members cried, "Leave the bag alone, that's a bad idea," as sailors were about to open a bag of wind that would blow them away to dangerous islands during a performance of Homer's Odyssey.
The KU Theatre for Young People staged the play for area elementary and junior high students this week at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.
The play started Monday and will run through Sunday,
Megan Persinger, Hiawata senior and an assistant with Theatre for Young People, said it was difficult for the actors to remain in character during the spirited outburst, but that type of earnest reaction was what made the show most rewarding.

especially foolish adds a whole new level of energy to what we do," Persinger said.
Other actors also said performing for the young students was exciting for them. Courtney Schweitzer, Leawood senior, said witnessing their reactions was especially thrilling.
"The kids have much less inhibition in their reactions to the performance," Schweitzer said. "They squirm in their chairs, scream, laugh hysterically and ooh and ahh through the entire show."
Kari Gillespie, Missouri City, Texas, junior, said experiencing their appreciation was rewarding. Before filing onto the yellow school buses after the show, the students gave the actors hugs and told them their favorite parts of the production. Gillespie said their eyes lit up as they did this.
Kristen Gray, a teaching assistant at Lecompont Elementary School, said the students really liked the shows they attended at the University.

Detainee bill passed by Congress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday endorsed President Bush's plans to prosecute and interrogate terror suspects, all but sealing congressional approval for legislation that Republicans intend to use on the campaign trail to assert their toughness on terrorism.
The bill would create military commissions to prosecute terrorism suspects. It also would prohibit some of the worst abuses of detainees like mutilation and rape, but grant the president leeway to decide which other interrogation techniques are permissible.
The 65-34 vote means the bill could reach the president's desk by week's end.
The House passed nearly identical legislation on Wednesday and
was expected to approve the Senate bill on Friday, sending it on to the White House.
The White House and its supporters have called the measure crucial in the anti-terror fight, but some Democrats said it left the door open to abuse, violating the U.S. Constitution in the name of protecting Americans.
Twelve Democrats sided with 53 Republicans in voting for the bill. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., in a tough re-election fight, joined 32 Democrats and the chamber's lone independent in opposing the bill. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, was absent.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who helped draft the legislation during negotiations with the White House, said the measure would set up a system for treating detainees that the nation could be proud of.
He said the goal "is to render justice to the terrorists, even though they will not render justice to us."
Democrats said the Republicans' rush to muscle the measure through Congress was aimed at giving them something to tout during the campaign, in which control of the House and Senate are at stake. Election Day is Nov. 7.
"There is no question that the rush to pass this bill — which is the product of secret negotiations with the White House — is about serving a political agenda," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
The Supreme Court nullified Bush's initial system for trying detainees in June, and earlier this month a handful of maverick GOP senators embarrassed the president by forcing him to slightly tone down his next proposal. But they struck a deal last week.

Dim lights, dim-witted city
Poorly-lit streets, heavy traffic and an abundance of pedestrians have combined to make Kentucky Street deadly, and the city must fix the problem now.
Kentucky and Tennessee streets are among the darkest and most frequented by vehicles in the Oread Neighborhood, an area heavily populated with student residents. Students walking to or from campus or nearby bars and restaurants need to be able to safely cross the streets at night. The city must install more lights along the streets.
The city could use the brighter, whiter lights that the University of Kansas uses to light parking
Only 13 and 15 dim streetlights shine along Tennessee and Kentucky streets, respectively, between Ninth and 19th streets. That's an average of 1.3 and 1.5 lights per block, though most of the lights shine at intersections. One streetlight on each street is broken.
lots and doorsteps. The city uses high-pressure sodium lights that emit a dim orange glow, unlike the bright, white metal halide lights used on campus.
A city ordinance requires streetlights at every street intersection and cul-de-sac. This often leaves dark stretches in the middle of long blocks. To combat this, the city could install crosswalks with flashing lights activated by a button when a pedestrian crosses the street.
Some residents might disapprove of additional lighting; they can simply close their curtains and blinds.
The lack of lights has become more than an inconvenience for students; it has become fatal. The city must rework its dim policy on lighting before another student dies.

COMMENTARY
If you say your vote doesn't count, it won't
Irony is a fun concept. According to dictionary.com, irony is "an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected." Basically, it's the term applied to those "Well, I did not see that coming" moments.
It's like a free ride, when you've already paid, if you were to ask Alanis Morissette. It's how we describe Steve Irwin being felled by a stingray while Steve-O is safe and sound among grizzly bears and poisonous snakes.
In American society, we define ourselves by democracy. It's what is supposed to make us the greatest country on the planet, because it gives us, the people, power over the government. Yet to many, voting, the act of engaging in the democratic process, is irrelevant. If that isn't irony, I don't know what is.
Look at Kansas. It's traditionally a red state, where people with no experience in law enforcement can be attorney general as long as they are in the right party. There was even a book published not too long ago about how the Sunflower State has become so supportive of the Republican Party. What nobody seems to understand is how that can change with a little ambition on the part of the people who have, thus far, seen the democratic process as not worth their time.
I was speaking recently with a classmate when he explained to me that he does not vote because, quite simply, he doesn't believe that his vote matters. Apparently, this is a rather common mindset. If you don't live in a swing state, logic dictates that your vote will be swallowed up by the many people who support one side, or at least that seems to be what too many of us think. In truth, any state, county, city or high school drama club has large amounts of people who could drastically affect the outcome of an election, but don't, because they avoid the polls with the notion that they cannot make a difference either way.

Party saw Democrat Kathleen Sebelius elected governor. While this may not have been a complete shot in the arm of Kansas politics, it did open up the possibility of a shift in the tides. Sebelius had surprised Kansans in 1994 by becoming the first Democratic insurance commissioner the state had seen in more than a century.
This year, she has one opponent that the Republicans have gotten behind, Jim Barnett, but she is less of an underdog. A study by SurveyUSA taken earlier this year had her in the top 20 in terms of approval ratings among all governors. Nevertheless, the Kansas Democratic Party has put a great deal of work into rallying not only the left-learning faithful, but the ever-valuable swing voters that some people don't seem to realize exist in this state.
None of this can predict the outcome of the elections. Nothing really can but time, and that is the beauty of democracy that sadly goes unnoticed by many. A vote for a Democrat in Kansas can mean a lot, just like a vote for a Republican in New York. However, if the people who could cast those votes don't see this, and go with the "one vote doesn't make a difference" notion, then very few people will vote at all, and politics in this and any other supposedly dyed-in-the-wool state really will be as predictable as they think.
That brings us back to irony. The irony here is that the apathy of so many people may very well be the reason that things happen the way they think they do.

Why even senators hate Student Senate
GUEST COMMENTARY
There is nothing like campaign season when it comes to Student Senate at the University of Kansas. The Gideons, the military recruitment officials and all the community service activists combined do not attack campus as completely or effectively as prospective senators do every spring.
So, where on earth are they the rest of the year? Furthermore, what ever happens to all those campaign ideas once senate is in session again? As a one-time student senator who was suspended by senate, I believe I can shed some light on the issue. Half of the platforms are just senators taking credit for things that are probably going to happen regardless of who gets elected, and the other half of the platforms are things that cannot be done. Either way, how much is accomplished has little to do with who's in Student Senate.
What goes on behind senate walls is top secret, and I could be killed for sharing this information. So, start calling me Deep Throat and read on.
I'm sure that, considering my opinion, you have begun to wonder why I ran for senate in the first place. Sometimes, only first-hand experience can end naive idealism.
Having been in senate, I feel confident that most of the time spent in senate meetings can be divided into three categories.
The first is pointless debate. I give the example of the Native American mascot ban of last year. That resolution was passed unanimously without any negative speeches. Regardless, we spent an hour talking about it. I am not even sure how the affirmative speakers managed to talk for an hour with no opposition. Considering the war in Iraq resolution and the gay marriage ban resolution of the year before, we were lucky to move on in an hour. The sad thing is that resolutions that state the opinion of the senate have absolutely no power whatsoever, and that is an hour of my life I will never get back.
The second area where senate spends time is pointless infighting. In the same meeting as the mascot ban, we discussed a bill regarding physical polling sites during senate elections. Less than 20 percent of students vote regardless of how the system is changed, and senate is still jockeying for superior political position with debate on the system. That debate took another hour, and the only people who will ever care were sitting in that senate room.
The final area where senate spends time is pointless rubber-stamping of funding allocations. On the one hand, getting funds to student organizations is a necessary task. On the other hand, few people understand how totally superfluous senate's role is. About three weeks ago, I was in a senate meeting that was almost totally devoted to funding legislation. At the end of the meeting we had allocated about $10,000 to various student groups. We did this without serious debate on any issue. At the cost of $10,000 of student money, we all got to go home early.
Every spring, candidates exert impossible amounts of effort into annoying the general public just so that every fall a not small minority of them can quit or get fired. This is because the three basic things that senators get to witness once senate is in session are pointless debate, pointless infighting and pointless rubberstamping. What do these three things have in common? That's right, they are all pointless. And that is why even senators hate student senate.

» LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Comic strip makes light of serious issue
The Sept. 19 "Boy Eats World" comic about a boy wishing his "grass was emo so it would cut itself" was fully inappropriate.
It makes light of a serious issue that faces many young people today. Although I have never had any personal experience with self-injury, I have known people who have, and it
really is a vicious cycle that becomes psychologically addictive and nearly impossible to stop without outside intervention.
It's more than just marks on one's skin; a report on the BBC's Web site states that 10 percent of visits to British medical wards are a result of self injury. For the Kansan to print
a comic making light of this condition that afflicts so many people, undoubtedly including some of our classmates at KU, shows poor judgment.

COMMENTARY
Albright a model in class
M. E. L. R. C. B. R.
BY LIZ STUEWE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
As we walked out of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's lecture Wednesday night at the Lied Center, my two best friends, both bright, active young women, exclaimed, "She is my new hero!" I couldn't help but feel the same way.
What is it about Albright that is so appealing to women at the University of Kansas? And what can we do as Jayawks to bring some of her brilliance into our own lives?
Another admirable quality about Albright is that she cleared the path for women in politics. When she became secretary of state under President Clinton in 1997, she was not only the first woman to ever hold the office — out of 64 total secretaries of state — but at the time she was the highest-ranking woman ever in American politics. Going first is never easy, and she did it with an eloquence and grace rarely seen in today's world of negative politics.
Albright is proof that gender does not determine political ability. In a world full of messages such as "Why don't you lose some weight?" and "Why aren't your boobs a little bigger?" it is easy for women to feel that they just aren't smart enough or capable enough to participate in politics. It is easy to feel like the world doesn't take women seriously. And watching Albright on stage made us feel like here, right here on the KU campus, is something the world cannot deny. Women are powerful.
How can we incorporate the ideals embodied by Albright in our everyday lives? First, stay informed of international events. One of the most important things demonstrated by her time in office dealing with issues such as Afghanistan, Bosnia and conflicts in the Middle East is that Americans cannot ignore what is going on in the rest of the world. Keep up on the news, seek out independent news sources and critically examine those you do find. Secondly, never be afraid to be the first — the first woman on your flag football team or the first woman president of the United States of America.
With the model set by Madeline Albright, we can all learn to be strong, civic-minded leaders and help make this world better for the next generation.
The first thing that makes Madeline Albright so special is her radiant intelligence that was immediately obvious to everyone in the room. She received a standing ovation for merely walking on stage. Not many people in the world, male or female, could accomplish the things she has. Secondly, it is her humor. She proved last night that a well-timed joked can sometimes say more than a lengthy, serious speech.

Theories could explain overdose
Poor Terrell Owens.
First, a painkiller addiction.
I watched the flamboyant receiver give his side of the story and his publicist give hers about his alleged suicide attempt, but I'm not all that concerned with what was said. No, I've got two other theories for what possibly led to Tuesday night's activities, and for some reason, no one else has mentioned them.
It's not unthinkable. Brett Favre admitted his addiction in 1996 and subsequently spent 46 days at the Menninger Clinic when it was in Topeka. So there's no reason to think it couldn't happen to Owens. The guy has a broken hand and he's trying to get ready for this week's game
because he doesn't want to miss it. In fact, Terrell Owens has a stellar playing record. Not counting suspensions, he has never missed more than two games in a row.
So if a guy is taking that many, maybe Owens miscalculated what he thought he could take, was in more pain than usual, and swallowed too many and ended up in the hospital and all over television. He's entering his 11th NFL season, and if he's been pill pumping for half that time, the biggest wide receiver in the NFL would have built up some
Owens said the idea that he took 35 pills of hydrocodone is "absurd," and said if he had, he could wouldn't have been at the press conference, suggesting he might be dead. But in a 1997 story in The New York Times about painkiller abuse in the NFL, the story cites several unnamed NFL players, one of whom was a Pro-Bowl lineman, who said, "Some guys have genuine needs, but at the same time you see a lot of sharing and abuse. I know guys who are immune to Percocet. They take 15 to 20 of these pills a day because it doesn't faze them. They've built up a tolerance, but they need to take them to be able to function because their bodies are addicted to them."

tolerance.
Speaking of being the biggest NFL wide receiver, there's one more nasty idea I have about Owens' exploits.
He may be the Barry Bonds of football — only his secret has been better kept.
Why not? I'm not saying without a doubt that he's using steroids or performance-enhancing drugs. I don't know that. But in today's sports world, I'm sorry, nobody is suspicion-free, I don't care what sport it is.
But let's look at the guy. Did you see him on the cover of ESPN the magazine recently? His picture reminds me of that line in the first Austin Powers, "Men want to be him, women want to be with him." Can I get an Amen? The man has muscles on top of muscles. He's a 6-foot-3-inch, 225-pound linebacker playing wide receiver.
And aside from his physique, remember him coming back from that grusome ankle injury in 2004 with the Eagles, an injury sure to end his season? Yeah, he came back and not only played in the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, but caught nine passes for 122 yards. To come back from an injury that quickly, it raises red flags in my mind.
I'm not accusing Owens of steroid use. My point is this: given his track record - on and off the field - what exonerates him of any suspicion?

Police: Owens' overdose not attempted suicide
BY JAIME ARON ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Dallas police have classified Terrell Owens' case as an "accidental overdose," not an attempted suicide, closing their investigation Thursday of the Cowboys' receiver's hospitalization.
Police Chief David Kunkle said he had "great confidence" in the initial police report, which said rescue workers responded late Tuesday night to an attempted "suicide by prescription pain medication."
"The report, in my opinion, reflects what the officers were told and represents their best interpretation of what happened." Kunkle said Thursday. "But that doesn't mean it's the definitive account of the incident. Like all these situations, we're dealing with incomplete information
The report, obtained by media outlets Wednesday, said a friend described Owens as being depressed and indicated that Owens said "Yes" when rescue workers asked whether he had tried to harm himself.
and facts that change."
Owens said Wednesday he mistakenly mixed the painkillers for a broken hand with supplements he ordinarily takes, causing him to become groggy while at home Tuesday evening. His publicist, Kim Etheredge, called 911, and Owens was taken to an emergency room.
Within two hours of his hospital release Wednesday morning, Owens was catching passes at team headquarters. He went through a full practice Thursday, his first since breaking his right hand on Sept. 17, and might play Sunday in Tennessee.
Coach Francis waits for 'killer instinct'
SOCCER
BY MARK DENT
Soccer team experiences ups, downs in tough non-conference schedule this season
Kansas coach Mark Francis isn't exactly losing sleep over his team's 1 start in Big 12 play.
"The results have been all over the place," he said. "This conference is going to be really tight. Coming off last weekend with one win on the road is a good thing."
Today, Kansas (6-3-0, 1-1-0) plays at Creighton in its final nonconference game before it tries to improve its conference standing against Nebraska on Sunday in Lincoln.
The Jayhawks reached their .500 mark by splitting games in Oklahoma against the Cowgirls and Sooners last week. Oklahoma State topped Kansas last Friday 1-0 in double overtime, but everything evened out in the second game against Oklahoma. That game ended with the same 1-0 score, but
the Jayhawks were on the winning end.
The tight conference race that Francis spoke about was on display last weekend. Only Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma State have two or more victories, and only three teams have more than one loss. The Big 12 race could end up like last season when four teams, including Kansas, tied for second place and eight teams finished above .500.
"Our non-conference schedule was tougher this year to better our RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) and prepare for the conference," Francis said.
He added that his team needs to do a better job of playing the entire game to be successful in conference play. Inconsistency on offense has been a common theme of the Jayhawks' season. Kansas has taken 76 shots in the second half this year compared to 54 in the first
half. Goal scoring has been stronger in the second half as well. The Jayhawks have put the ball in the net 11 times in the final 45 minutes and only five times in the opening half.
Such troubles have not been a concern on the defensive side of the ball. The defense has allowed 42 shots in the first half and 40 in the second, and has given up 15 first- half goals and 11 second-half goals.
"We've been a little up and down lately," sophomore midfielder Jessica Bush said. "But we know we have a good team."
Kansas plays another team that's been up and down this season at 7 tonight. Creighton (5-5-1) has split its weekend pair of games every time this season except once, when it tied one and lost one. The Bluejays return nine starters from last season's 12-victory team. The Jayhawks won the two teams' last
Nebraska (6-2-2, 1-1) is a team that Kansas is all too familiar with. The Cornhuskers ended the Jayhawks' season two years in a row. They beat Kansas last year in the Big 12 Tournament, and ended the Jayhawks' season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament two years ago. Nebraska holds an 11-1-2 overall advantage against Kansas, which proves the Huskers are an historically tough opponent for the Jayhawks to beat.
match-up in the first round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament.
"We have the speed and talent," Francis said. "Only time will tell if this group has the leadership and killer instinct."

lowa to seek revenge for NCAA snub
Jayhawks took position despite Cyclones better overall, conference record
BY DREW DAVISON
Iowa State in the upcoming weekend game wants to punish Kansas for taking its spot at the NCAA tournament last year. The game will be at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Academy Center.
The Cyclones thought they should have been the tournament team in 2005 after beating the Jayhawks in both season matches, including a season-ending sweep of the Jayhawks in Ames, Iowa.
Last year, Iowa State beat Kansas in a four-game match, 3-1, in Lawrence. Then Iowa State swept Kansas in Ames to finish the season. The Cyclones also finished with a
better overall and conference record (16-15, 9-11 Big 12), compared to the jayhawks (15-15, 7-13).
Regardless of how questionable the decision was, Kansas made the tournament instead of Iowa State.
This season, Iowa State (10-4,
2-2 Big 12) is coming to Kansas
(8-6, 1-4) with a lot of confidence;
Wednesday, Iowa State got a key victory at Kansas State in a five-game match, while Kansas struggled at Texas Tech, losing 3-1.
"They're coming off a big win at K-State, so we'll have to play and give a great effort," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
Iowa State has depended on its defense the entire season. The
Cyclones lead the Big 12 in blocking, averaging 3.51 blocks per game. Kansas has struggled blocking as it is last in the conference, averaging just 1.96 blocks per game.
The player to watch on the Cyclones will be Erin Boeve, junior middle blocker. She leads the defense with 1.8 blocks per game. Boeve was an integral part Wednesday in helping Iowa State snap a 10-year losing streak at Kansas State with a season-high 22 kills.
With two consecutive losses on the road, at Colorado and at Texas Tech, Kansas is glad to be back home, where the team is 3-2.
"It's nice because we have fans that can come support us, and we need a
lot of support now." Jana Correa, senior outside hitter, said. "We need to move on quickly, and just practice hard to beat Iowa State."
The event is free for students with a valid KUID. The KU Athletics Department will also be handing out Adidas pens to the first 500 fans and having a $10,000 perfect serve contest. It's a short home stand for Kansas, as the team will be back on the road with matches at Missouri and Oklahoma next week.

1 Police drop charges file new ones in shooting case
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Prosecutors on Thursday dropped charges against one of two men accused of shooting five Duquesne University basketball players, but filed charges against two additional
suspects.
All charges were dropped against Brandon Baynes, 18, of Penn Hills, in the Sept. 17 shooting after an on-campus dance party.
Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala said the charges were dropped after a witness recanted her story. He would not identify the witness.
Zappala also announced
charges against two other people: Derrick Lee, of Pittsburgh, and Erica R. Sager, of Wilkinsburg.

Longhorns' rush defense stifles opponents
AUSTIN, Texas — When it comes to running the football, the Longhorns opponents are quickly learning a lesson.
on the schedule, Texas' 24 rushing yards per game average may dip even lower.
Don't mess with Texas.
After four games, the team has the second-best rushing defense in the nation. On an average attempt, opposing teams gain less than a yard every time they go to the ground. Four games into the season and the combined efforts of Texas' opponents barely eclipse the 100-yard mark, with 104. By comparison, the least rushing yards Texas' offense has accumulated in a game is 172, which came against Ohio State.

The bust valued at $10,000 to $15,000 stood outside the Springfield museum as part of a "legends walkway" with about 15 other busts of athletes and three full-size statues, museum operations director Marty Willadsen said.
The museum called the Greene County Sheriff's Department, which assigned a detective to investigate.

One-time critic becomes loyal fan
Pushed to the bench almost all of last season and the beginning of this season, last Saturday you proved to us we were wrong. You helped put several long drives together and looked very comfortable running the offense. By helping the Jayhawks win, your 3-1 start leaves fans with a lot of optimism for the remaining games.
It took a lot of courage for you to act the way you did. All of last season, you quietly went about your business and didn't criticize coach Mark Mangino or anyone on the team. Even though you may have felt you deserved to play, you did what was asked of you by the coaching staff. It must have killed you to be stuck standing on the sidelines when you knew you could play better than you had played in the brief
》 WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
On behalf of the entire student body, I would like to take a moment to apologize. Last year, you had a rough first game of the season and everyone, including myself, wrote you off. We said you were terrible and didn't deserve to ever see the field again. As you continued to struggle at the quarterback position, we wanted to try anyone but you. When you got in a game, we figured the team was going to lose.
Dear Adam Barmann,

chances you had.
Your wait was worth it. You got your chance on Saturday, and it was obvious that your patience had paid off. You ran the offense effectively and gave the Jayhawks the opportunity to win the game.
What impressed me more was the way you handled yourself in the days after the game. Despite playing a great game and leading the Jayhawks to a victory, you still talked about Kerry Meier being the guy at quarterback. Anyone who had to suffer like you did last season could have said something like, "I think I showed why I deserve to play," or "I feel it should be my job." But you didn't, because you're a team player and a class act.
You would rather talk about Meier getting healthy so he can help lead the team than try to stir up a quarterback controversy. You have handled everything in the last few years with utmost class. Some people may still not like you for some reason or another, but you have definitely earned at least one new fan.
Good luck the rest of the season and in the rest of your career. Whether you throw another touchdown pass or even complete another pass this season is unimportant to me. You're a team player and a class act, and I will root for players like you any day of the week.
When the offense heads onto the field tomorrow night, we will be hoping to see something we couldn't have predicted we would ever have wanted to see again: you as the team's quarterback.
Sincerely, B.J. Rains

Arkansas graduate hired to be new assistant coach
Women's golf coach Erin O'Neil announced Tuesday the hire of Sarah Trew as an assistant coach.
Trew, like O'Neil, attended Georgia University, but Trew transferred her junior year to Arkansas.
At Arkansas, Trew was a three-time letter winner, was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll each year and ended her career with the eighth-lowest career stroke average in Arkansas' women's golf program history.
This will be Trew's first coaching position. She graduated from Arkansas earlier this year.

Quarterback Kerry Meier may be healthy enough to play Saturday
Kerry Meier was seen throwing a football around with other quarterbacks after practice Wednesday night at Memorial Stadium.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
Kansas coach Mark Mangino is holding out hope that his freshman quarterback will be healthy enough to play Saturday at Nebraska.
But what that says about his status for Saturday's game is still unclear.
"Iis he ready to play today? No, but we don't play today," Mangino said. "Could he be ready by Saturday? Yes, he could be. But we just don't know."
He said a decision was likely to be made during the team's walkthrough Friday morning at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb.
It's presumed that senior Adam Barmann would start for the second straight game if Meier was unable to play.
Against South Florida last week, Barmann completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and threw for 273 yards, with no interceptions.
Barmann said he understood that if Meier was healthy, he might return to the bench.
"As soon as he's ready to go, he'll go," Barmann said. "I'll just keep preparing myself the same way. I get ready each and every day, just in case."
Meier suffered an undisclosed injury to his right arm during a loss
FOOTBALL
to Toledo two weeks ago. Days after the game, Mangino said he was told that Meier suffered the injury early in the fourth quarter after having his arm driven in to the ground after a quarterback rushing play. Despite the injury, Meier convinced Mangino to leave him in the game. Meier threw two interceptions after the injury, one in the fourth quarter and another in the second overtime against the Rockets.
In the three games he's played in this season, Meier has completed nearly 55 percent of his passes, thrown six touchdowns and seven interceptions. On the ground, he's rushed for 146 yards and four touchdowns.
Football Notes:
Injury Update: After missing the season's first four games, Mangino said sophomore safety James Holt would see limited action Saturday. Holt suffered an undisclosed injury during the team's training camp early last month.
Redshirt-freshman defensive back Darrell Stuckey was also injured during the training camp, but Mangino said he would not be ready in time to play this weekend.
Cornhuskers' persistence, unity present new challenge to Jayhawks

This season, Nebraska has been untouchable at home and has shown
BY SHAWN SHROYER
If Kansas is expecting to face the same Nebraska team that it beat 40-15 last season at home, it is sorely mistaken.
"Persistence and a belief in what we're doing from a team concept," Callahan said. "It all came together particularly after that game."
No. 21 Nebraska has lost only one game since its meeting with Kansas last November, and coach Bill Callahan said two things had led to the Cornhuskers' success.
no ill effects from its loss on the road to Southern California two weeks ago. The key for the Cornhuskers thus far has been balance across the board, starting with senior quarterback Zac Taylor.
Taylor has been nothing if not consistent this season, completing 70.8 percent of his passes. He has also thrown just two interceptions in 89 attempts. Kansas coach Mark Mangino has noticed Taylor's improvement from last season.
"He looks a lot more confident in the pocket," Mangino said. "He seems to be delivering the ball on time with more regularity. You can tell by his
presence on the field that he feels more control as the quarterback."
Nebraska's rushing attack is a fourheaded monster, led by sophomore Marlon Lucky. He is averaging 7.2 yards per touch, has yet to be taken down behind the line and have five touchdowns. He was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Troy last week.
"Marlon has acquired a good feel for the system, and he has confidence in his ability to read and cut," Callahan said.
Senior tight end Matt Herian is the feel-good story of the year for Nebraska. He has played well this
season with 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns after missing all of last season and part of 2004 because of a broken leg.
Even with questions surrounding who will play quarterback for Kansas on Saturday, Callahan said the Blackshirts were more focused on playing the same way they had all season, which has been nearly impregnable.
At home, the Blackshirts have allowed opponents to convert only nine of 38 third downs. In Lincoln, opponents have reached the redzone just twice and are averaging 5.7 points per game.
Nebraska's linebackers have led the defense so far with senior Stewart Bradley and juniors Corey McKeon and Bo Rudu combining for 60 tackles, 25 solo, and two forced fumbles.
The secondary has been solid, allowing just 146.75 passing yards per game. Against Nicholls State, the Blackshirts held the Colonels to zero passing yards.
One player looking to break out this weekend is senior defensive end Adam Carriker. He had 9.5 sacks last season, but only one so far this season.
plishment for Kansas football, Mangino knows it has only given the Cornhuskers more motivation to extend their 18-game home winning streak against the Jayhawks.
While last season's victory over Nebraska was a momentous accom-
"Last year's game is last year's game," Mangino said. "It was fun. Our fans enjoyed it — probably more so than anybody — but the fact of the matter is that this is a new year, this is a new challenge."

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Student athletes juggle school, work
While regularly attending practice, some athletes struggle with paying the bills
BY C.J. MOORE
Shelby Noonan is paying her own way through school to become a child life practitioner.
but Noonan is not the prototypical college student. Unlike most students paying their way through school, Noonan has had to balance school and a job with being a student athlete on just a partial scholarship.
Before August 2004, student athletes had a limit to how much money they could make from a job depending on the amount of scholarship money they received. The NCAA changed its rules on student athlete employment in 2004, allowing students like Noonan the opportunity to work as many hours as they want at a salary similar to another employee doing a similar job.
"People have a lot of stereotypes that everything is handed to us," Noonan, a senior diver, said. "It's definitely not. We're typical students, just with 20 more hours added on to school."
employee teaches. For some student athletes, working during the school year is a necessary evil to pay for their education. But as Theresa Becker, director of compliance in the Kansas Athletics Department, points out, the NCAA
decided its rules didn't make sense because student athletes with jobs are rare enough already.
Noonan and Matt Baysinger, a junior in track, are exceptions to the rule. Noonan worked for two years for First Management, and Baysinger has worked for Panera Bread Bakery for five years. He had not received scholarship money until this year.
"People finally realized that for student athletes who compete at this level, they don't have time to work," Becker said.
During track season last spring, Baysinger practiced 20 hours per week, six days a day. With no scholarship money coming in, he still needed a job. Baysinger would show up to Panera on Saturday and work a 12-hour shift beginning at 6 a.m. Hed work Sundays from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and then head to track practice.
Baysinger said he hoped future employers would notice the time management skills he developed from the experience.
"When you're doing a résumé, you can't necessarily put that you've had a lot of job experience, but I feel like a lot of employers are going to know the dedication that it would have taken to be an athlete for four
The inability to work during the school year in her future field is something Taylor McIntosh, junior on the women's basketball team and a pre-pharmacy major, has had to work around. Unlike many pharmacy majors who work for pharmacies while they are still in school, McIntosh has only been able to work during the summer. Last summer, she volunteered at the pharmacy in Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
years” Baysinger said. “It’s 20 hours a week of practice. It’s a job in itself. It takes a lot of dedication.”
McIntosh, unlike Noonan and Baysinger, is on a full scholarship so she is not in dire need of money. However, she said the $800 a month that she received to pay for her off-campus housing and bills did not give her a lot of spending money, which is a common misconception McIntosh regularly comes across.
"I think a lot of times, non-athletes, they see us with KU sweatshirts and shirts and they think, "Yeah, I wish I could get that." McIntosh said. "But really, we work just as hard. We are just like a regular student working full time — two full-time jobs."
McNittos said none of her teammates work during the school year.
Noonan split her time between a full-time management job with First Management and the Children's Learning Center in Lawrence, where she worked 10 hours every weekend.
During the summer, student athletes are just like any other students, making up for lost funds and lost time. Baysinger worked last summer at Panera 30-40 hours per week and at a warehouse in Olathe 20 hours per week.
Next summer, McIntosh hopes to find a paying job with a pharmacy in Lawrence. During their respective seasons, the student athletes say they know their job is on the field or in the pool. And someday, they hope that work will pay off.
"I think definitely in the future. I think right now it might prohibit it." Noonan said. "In the future, being an athlete and being in school people look at that as being able to manage your time."

10A GAME DAY
THE UNIVERSITY OF BABY KANSAS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2006
KU KICKOFF
ATAGLANCE
Kansas begins Big 12 Conference play against Nebraska, the team picked by the media to win the North Division. This season's matchup takes on a renewed sense of meaning after the Jayhawks ended the Cornhuskers' 36-game winning streak in the series last season. Kansas, though, has not won a game in Lincoln, Neb. since 1968. Both teams enter the game at 3-1 after losing in the third week of the season.
5 OUICK FACTS
22 — the number of victories Kansas has against Nebraska in the 101 years of the series.
7 — the number of different receivers who caught a pass against South Florida, a season high.
2 — the ranking of senior running back Jon Cornish in the Big 12's rushing statistics, averaging 109 yards a game.
17 — the number of games since Kansas' defense last allowed a 100 yard rusher.
40 — the number of points Kansas scored against Nebraska last season.
PLAYER TO WATCH

sure Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor. Como and the defensive front must get in Taylor's face to slow the Cornhuskers' passing attack.
QUESTION MARK
QUARTERBACKS — For the second straight week, it appears the starting quarterback decision will be made near game day. Kansas coach Mark Mangino has said this week that injured freshman quarterback Kerry Meier has improved since suffering an injury to his right arm in the loss at Toledo. However, Mangino is still unsure whether Meier will be physically able to start against the Cornhuskers. Whether Meier or backup senior Adam Barmann starts on Saturday, Kansas' offense will have to find a way to match Nebraska's high-powered passing attack.
NEBRASKA ON A ROLL Corhuskers' offense tops the Big 12
GAME DAY
KANSAS AT NEBRASKA 6 p.m., Saturday, Memorial Stadium, FSN
Kansas
Offense
Kansas' offense looked efficient last week with backup Adam Barmann in the lineup. The difference without Meier was the lack of a quarterback rushing game. Against a Nebraska team that can score quickly, the key for Kansas will be controlling the clock with the running game. Nebraska and Kansas are 1-2 in the Blg 12 in time of possession. A big game from running back Jon Cornish will go a long way towards keeping the 'Huskers' offense off the field.
KU KU
Defense
The defense has steadily improved since an ugly showing against Louisiana-Monroe three weeks ago. The return of sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib has helped, along with the emergence of freshman cornerback Anthony Webb. Kansas' rushing defense has fared well all season and should have a big night against a Nebraska team that constantly rotates rushers in the backfield. The secondary, though, could be in for some trouble against an improved Taylor.
Nebraska
KU KU
Momentum
Take away the USC game and Nebraska is averaging 53.7 points per game and 559.7 total yards of offense per game. However, for the first time, the Cornhuskers are putting up such gaudy numbers with its passing game, in addition to its running game. Senior quarterback Zac Taylor has a 178.3 pass efficiency rating, which is second best in the Big 12. He's clearly comfortable in coach Bill Callahan's West Coast offense and has the most talented receiving corps in school history. Junior wide receiver Terrence Nunn is Nebraska's deep threat with 14 catches for 209 yards, while senior tight end Matt Herlan is Taylor's go-to guy in the red zone with two touchdowns. The Cornhuskers are still moving the ball on the ground, too. Sophomore running backs Marlon Lucky and Cody Glenn and junior running backs Kenny Wilson and Brandon Jackson have combined for 924 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns in four games.
Offense
Kansas recovered from an emotional los two weeks at Toledo with an equally tense victory against USF. A victory against the Cornhuskers on the road would provide a big start to conference play, but that seems unlikely. More than 81,000 'Husker fans will be looking for revenge after last season's Jayhawk victory. In Lincoln, Kansas hasn't won a game at Memorial Stadium since the end of the Lyndon Johnson presidency in 1968. Barring a major collapse by Nebraska, that streak should be extended Saturday night.

Defense
— Ryan Schneider
Marcus Henry
The Blackshirts are back in Lincoln. Nebraska is allowing just 11.25 points per game and all nine turnovers the Cornhuskers have forced came at home. Out of 16 quarters played, Nebraska has held opponents scoreless in 10 quarters. Leading the defense are linebackers, Junior Corey McKeon and senior Stewart Bradley.The two have
combined for 42 tackles,18 solo
and three for losses. Junior Tierre Green has also impressed on defense. Two years ago, he was trying to get on the field as a running back. Now he's starting at strong safety and has 21 tackles of his own.
NNN
Momentum
Nebraska hasn't lost at home to Kansas since Lyndon Johnson was in office. Although Kansas will come in with the confidence in knowing that Nebraska is human, this isn't the same Nebraska squad Kansas played last season. Nebraska was coming off consecutive losses to average Missouri and Oklahoma teams last season before falling to Kansas in 2005. Even though USC had no trouble defeating Nebraska two weeks ago, the Cornhuskers showed they learned from the experience by beating a stingy Troy team last week 56-0. Because of last season's loss in Lawrence, Nebraska will have even more motivation to extend its home winning streak against Kansas to 19.

NU KICKOFF
AT A GLANCE
Nebraska bounced back from its 28-10 loss to USC nicely last week in a 56-0 drubbing of Troy. Nebraska posted a season high 597 yards of offense against a Troy team that was competitive against Florida State and Georgia Tech in previous weeks. Sophomore running back Marlon Lucky led the way with 156 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries. He was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for his performance. The Blackshirts didn't let Troy reach the red zone once, and allowed the Trojans to convert on only one of 11 third downs.
5 QUICK FACTS
1 — Nebraska is first in the Big 12 in scoring (42.8 points per game) and total offense (472.5 yards per game)
3 — Number of sacks allowed by Nebraska this season
4 — Number of running backs Nebraska has who have rushed for at least 100 yards this season.
15 — Before playing in the 2006 opener, senior tight end Matt Herian missed 15 consecutive games over the past two seasons recovering from a broken left leg
113 — Saturday will mark the 13th meeting between Nebraska and Kansas, which is the longest continuous series in Division I-A history

- Playboy, Athlon and Lindy's preseason All American teams. Thus far, he leads all Nebraska defensive linemen with 14 tackles
and is second on the team with four tackles for losses. However, Carriker has just one sack this season, which came in Nebraska's first game against Louisiana Tech. He had a team-best 9.5 sacks in 2005.
QUESTION MARKS
OFFENSE - Last season, Nebraska accumulated Just 138 yards of total offense against Kansas. This season, the Cornhuskers have exhibited an explosive passing and rushing attack. Which offense will show up on Saturday?
HOW MUCH - With retribution on the line after being embarrassed in Lawrence last season, the question might not be if Nebraska will win, but by how much?
